AGENDA ITEMS A. TCAAP Open House Update Senior Planner Bachler stated the Council has set an open house for November 17, 2016, to provide the community with an opportunity to convey input to the City Council and Master Development Team on the updated development plans of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant site(TCAAP). Senior Planner Bachler reported the open house will be held at City Hall. Staff is recommending that the open house be held from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. The City will put together a mailing (letter or flyer) that will go out to all residents in the City (like prior open houses) and will also place the information on the City's website. In addition, we would request that the Mayor announce the open house at the City Council meeting on November 14, 2016. Senior Planner Bachler explained the format for the open house will be "stations" that contain boards of the different aspects of the development that will be staffed by the Master Development Team. This allows the public access to review all areas of the development in more detail and ask questions related to each. In addition, staff anticipates that there will be an "FAQ" station staffed by the City to address general questions regarding the project.
