Commissioner Frethem suggested a future open house be held just on green energy in order to <br />gain further public engagement regarding this topic. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund stated he believed the open house was a great idea. He thanked the JDA for <br />driving this idea forward noting he believed this was a great event. He questioned if staff had <br />collected emails from the individuals that attended this event. Director Collins reported this <br />was done and stated a follow up email would be sent to these individuals with a link to the <br />survey. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund suggested additional information be gathered regarding density, affordability <br />and traffic and that this information be included in the email. <br /> <br />Commissioner Frethem supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Reinhardt suggested updates be given on each of the seven stations that were <br />covered at the open house. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund stated there was consensus to send a follow up email to those who attended <br />the open house as well as those individuals who have requested information regarding Rice <br />Creek Commons. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fabel indicated he could support this being done, but noted a very specific <br />proposal for Rice Creek Commons was going to come before the Planning Commission in <br />December. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund questioned who would be drafting the email. Director Collins reported the Goff <br />team and Ramsey County would be drafting the email. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund suggested additional information regarding affordable housing be placed on the <br />Rice Creek Commons FAQ webpage. He then thanked Mr. Slack for all of his efforts on the open <br />house. <br /> <br />Term Sheet Discussion <br /> <br />Direct Collins explained staff was working on a draft term sheet noting she hoped to have a <br />document for the JDA to review in December. <br /> <br />Commissioner Reinhardt asked that staff consider having language within the term sheet <br />stating the JDA will seek City, County and federal funding for affordable housing. She thanked <br />staff for their efforts on this document. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fabel questioned what level of detail would be provided within the term sheet. <br />He looked forward to seeing some real numbers in order to assist the JDA in making meaningful <br />decisions going forward.
