TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE City Administrator Jagoe stated the Joint Development Authority held three meetings on December I st. The first meeting was a closed session for attorney -client privilege litigation against Alatus Arden Hills, LLC. During the work session, the JDA received a presentation from Ramsey County staff on Building 116, a structure on the Rice Creek Commons site that is owned by the Army and houses equipment related to the Army's groundwater cleanup work. Over the past few years, various concerns such as Location, Space, and Aesthetics as well as Public Health and Safety have been raised about Building 116. It was noted that the building itself this has not undergone major updates since it was constructed 1942 and that the building envelope may be larger than necessary for current system needs, as it formerly housed some Army equipment that was removed after this portion of the site was decommissioned. Access to the facility needs to be maintained to ensure Army and its contractors can continue to fulfill their remedial obligations.
