<br />The JDA discussed the developer goals for the redevelopment. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden was in favor of weighing the goals. <br /> <br />Administrative Director Worthington suggested the language regarding this matter be adjusted <br />to read: Each response will be evaluated by the solicitation review committee based on the <br />following criteria - the first three of which are minimum qualifications: financial capacity, <br />proven qualifications, and prudent organizational and project management experience. She <br />believed this would allow for the language to be more general. <br /> <br />JDA Attorney Norton recommended technical language also be added to read: Substantial <br />compliance to meet submission requirements – developers are to see Page 15. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden stated before she could support the February 1st Solicitation date, she <br />needed to know when she would be able to review the revised document. Administrative <br />Director Worthington believed she could have the document back to JDA members within a <br />week. <br /> <br />Staff described the process that would be followed by staff to ensure they had no contact with <br />developers during the Solicitation process. It was noted all Solicitations would be sent to Josh <br />Olson. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden questioned who would be responding to questions. Development <br />Director Hutmacher explained all questions would be collected by Josh Olson. She indicated <br />staff from the City and County would then be contacted to address the questions. <br /> <br />Administrative Director Worthington noted that all references to “the County” within the <br />Solicitation should be changed to read “the JDA”. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden suggested the Maxfield study be properly referenced within the <br />Solicitation. Administrative Director Worthington stated the document was referring to the <br />Maxfield study completed by the JDA two years ago. <br /> <br />Development Director Hutmacher requested clarification from Commissioner’s Grant and <br />Holden and asked if the Arden Hills’ goals document would be discussed by the City Council <br />prior to the Solicitation’s release. <br /> <br />Commissioner Grant stated this would be a new document that would have to be discussed and <br />approved by the Arden Hills City Council. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden explained these goals would include the TRC goals plus additional goals. <br />She asked if she would be able to remove the Mounds View School District from the <br />subcommittee at a future date. Staff reported this was the case.
