. . . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: February 16, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council \1' jl;~""--- Joe Lynch, City Administrator,(,l\Jt FROM: SUBJECT: TCAAP and Pavement Management Program (PMP) I wanted to take an opportunity to address both of these issues for your eonsideration in terms of expectations, prioritization and time commitment, TCAAP The timing may be right for the City to reconsider its prioritization and desire to reeruit consultants in planning Phase II of the TCAAP property, We've had a few things happen recently that prompt this, . Ramsey County, the City of Arden Hills and the Minnesota Army National Guard are probably going to proceed with the exploration of a joint cooperative Maintenance facility and property use for all three entities. . The City is going to be approached in March about the potential for development of a portion of the TCAAP property that has been identified for commercial/industrial development. . The Minnesota Army National Guard is seeking Jieensure of the remaining portions of the property, exeept that shown as designated in the City's re-use plan. . We recently heard from the Ramsey County that the Highways 96/1 0 interchange preliminary design work will be done sometime in the year 2000, and we have been requested to participate in discussions for early acquisition for right-of-way properties, Another impetus is that the City's Comprehensive Plan is now ready for aeceptance by the Metropolitan Council, and should serve as the beginning point for a position by the City on TCAAP, We keep referring to the Vento Re-Use Plan (which is now close to five years old) as the preferred plan or the deferred plan, and we should begin to promote the City's Comprehensive Plan as our beginning discussion point. Since my arrival, it's been talked about, thought about, and we've even gone so far as to consider bringing consultants on board, but without consensus.
