Date: 20 April 1995 <br /> To: Arden Hills City Council <br /> From: Joyce Levine, Camiros <br /> I Peter Coyle, LHDL <br /> Subject: Press release contents <br /> . As we discussed Monday evening during our interview, it's essential that the City of Arden Hills <br /> break its press silence and clearly establish its position on reuse ofTCAAP. Recent events make <br /> . this an excellent and important time to act. <br /> The elements of the proposed press release should include: <br /> . . An affirmation that Arden Hills is the community to be most affected by changes on the <br /> TCAAP property. It is the City of Arden Hills that will have to live with the fiscal <br /> .. consequences of reuse and bear the brunt of whatever infrastructure improvements are needed <br /> on the site. Therefore, the City of Arden Hills should have the first say as to what takes place. <br /> Quote: "controlling our own destiny." <br /> . . A statement that it is premature for anyone to be "deciding" what use is best on the site. There <br /> are many competing interests, all of which need to be heard and evaluated in a comprehensive <br /> . manner in a single forum. <br /> . A statement that Arden Hills is already working with a number of interest groups to ensure <br /> . that their concerns and proposals receive appropriate consideration; also, that the City wants <br /> to hear from the other task forces looking into possible reuses of the site. <br /> . . An announcement that the City has retained consulting assistance to develop a workable plan <br /> for reuse and to evaluate all claims received to date relative to Arden Hills's goals and reuse <br /> . objectives; also, that the City is very excited by the prospect and wants to make sure a plan is <br /> developed that will make the TCAAP site a community asset for decades to come. <br /> I Assuming we receive your authorization to proceed, we will develop the text of the press release <br /> by noon tomorrow (Friday) for placement in the major regional newspapers on Sunday, if possible <br /> (or earliest publication date following). We will also pursue rapid placements in local weekly <br /> . newspapers. <br /> .e <br /> .
