EDC Minutes May 2, 2012 Page 6 of 7 Commissioner Huninghake asked if it would make sense to have a subcommittee for the website. Community Development Director Hutmacher indicated they could either put the website at the beginning or end of the agenda and time the agenda. That way if it is not a topic of interest, a Commissioner can either come late or leave early. Chair von Holtum asked that the website be put at the end of the agenda. All members were in agreement. 4. UPDATES A. TCAAP Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the Ramsey County League of Local Governments (RCLLG) held its April meeting in Arden Hills and that the TCAAP presentation, that was part of that meeting, would be rebroadcasted on CTV at 5:00 pm throughout the month of May and is also available via web stream on the City's website. Community Development Director Hutmacher also informed that there is a purchase agreement between Ramsey County and the General Services Administration for the TCAAP property. The County will be considering whether to proceed with acquisition and remediation in preparation for private development. B. TIF White Paper Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that at the April 16, 2012, City Council work session, staff asked the Council for direction on how to proceed with the White Paper. The Council indicated they would like a formula or matrix that scores TIF applications and that at some point this document might come back to the EDC for review. She indicated there are a lot of rules and strings attached to the TIF on how you can use the funds. C. B-2 Implementation Plan Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that in moving forward with the B-2 Implementation Plan the City Council did appoint a Corridor Advisory Committee and that they had their first meeting on April 11. She indicated that a subsequent meeting would be scheduled for early June and the focus of that meeting would be on transportation issues. D. Commission Members None.
