Motion by Commissioner Huffman seconded by Commissioner Holden to approve the 2019 <br />Meeting Schedule. Motion carried. <br />League of MN Cities Insurance Trust – Liability Coverage Waiver Form <br />Director Perrault discussed the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust requirements. He <br />stated in the past the JDA has chosen to not waive its monetary limits as set forth by Minnesota <br />State Statute. <br />Commissioner Holden expressed concern with the fact the JDA was being asked to vote on this <br />matter without having 2019 budget information. She questioned how the group could <br />purchase insurance without a budget in place. <br />Commissioner Ortega asked when the current policy would expire. Director Olson stated the <br />coverage runs through May. <br />Commissioner Ortega suggested this item be brought back to the JDA in March. <br />2019 Budget <br />Director Olson reviewed the 2019 budget with the Authority. He stated the County has paid for <br />JDA expenses since the JDA began in 2012. At this time, the County was not budgeting for JDA <br />expenses in 2019. <br />Commissioner Grant questioned why the County had not budgeted for TCAAP in 2019. Ms. <br />Collins stated the County has taken a hiatus since November 2018. She was hopeful that as <br />resolution on the project is reached the budget would be restored. <br />Commissioner Huffman stated as conversations between the County and City continue and an <br />MDA was reached, the budget would be reconsidered. Ms. Collins reported this was the case. <br />Chair Holmes questioned how the MDA and the budget were interconnected. Director Olson <br />explained the TCAAP project budget was County approved and all JDA expenses were paid <br />through this budget. At this point, the County has not been working on TCAAP since October or <br />November of 2018. Therefore, those funds have not been going toward the JDA. <br />Commissioner Holden inquired how the JDA Attorney would be paid. Ms. Collins reported once <br />the County identifies that it was moving forward towards a project, funds will be restored. <br />Commissioner Grant asked if the County had to get its way in order to move this project <br />forward. Ms. Collins explained this matter would make more sense once the JDA received the <br />Project Status Update. She reported there was no way for this project to move forward without <br />the City of Arden Hills as a partner working shoulder to shoulder with the County.
