<br />Commissioner Holden recommended the November 23rd meeting be removed from the <br />schedule. <br /> <br />Chair Sand suggested the November 23rd meeting be moved to November 16th. <br /> <br />Director Worthington discussed the importance of the following four months for the JDA and <br />the Arden Hills City Council in keeping the TCAAP project moving forward. <br /> <br />Communications <br /> <br />Director Worthington stated in July, Rice Creek Commons communications activities have been <br />primarily focused on the August 10 Rice Creek Commons Cleanup Celebration event. <br /> <br />Director Worthington reported the goal of the event is to celebrate the completion of cleanup <br />efforts at Rice Creek Commons and future delisting of the site from the Superfund list for soil <br />contamination. We also aim to enhance community awareness that the soil on the property is <br />now cleaned to residential standards. We have invited Governor Dayton, Senator Franken, <br />Senator Klobuchar, and Representative McCollum to attend and speak at the event. <br />Commissioner Huffman, Mayor Grant, and Bob Lux have also been invited to speak. <br />Additionally, an invitation to attend the event has been extended to local elected officials, <br />legislators, state agencies, businesses, developers, and other key partners. We have also invited <br />community members who used to work at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. The event <br />will feature a short program with brief remarks from dignitaries. The media will be invited to <br />attend the event. <br /> <br />Director Worthington indicated this month we also announced the completion of the Rice <br />Creek remeander project, and are expecting coverage in the Roseville Review. <br /> <br />Director Worthington explained staff will continue to work closely with the Alatus <br />communications team as they begin communicating more broadly about their plans for the <br />development. This includes collaborating on three upcoming presentations at the American <br />Public Works Association Expo, Twin North Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Arden Hills <br />State of the City event. <br /> <br />Chair Sand requested the RADD team be invited to the event on Wednesday, August 10th. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holden asked if the Arden Hills City Councilmembers would have a role at this <br />event. <br /> <br />Director Worthington encouraged each Councilmember to attend the event noting Mayor <br />Grant had been invited to speak. <br /> <br />Chair Sand questioned if an agenda had been created for the event.
