AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />A. TCAAP Discussion <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault stated the original intent of this work session was to discuss the <br />letter received from the County on November 6. He reported this letter was made public and the <br />City had made a public response to the County’s letter. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended the Council go through the issues in the letter and take a stance on <br />each issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested the Council take a step back and respond to the fact that the <br />County has accused the City of taking no action. She discussed how the City has worked to meet <br />the every changing needs of the County. She commented further on how the softball fields were <br />changed, while also completing a FIT test. She stated the Met Council would like 10 units per acre <br />within this development and at this time TCAAP has over 10 units per acre. She indicated there <br />were lots of instances where the City changed its plan for the developer and County. She <br />reiterated that the City of Arden Hills was not the bad guys in this situation. She feared that <br />County staff may have this information but the County Commissioners did not. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented whatever has happened at the County Board level, the <br />original RFP was no longer good for them.
