Although disappointed with the decision reached by City Council, we wish the City <br />every possible success in terms offuture endeavours relating to the TCAAP lands, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />We would like to apologize to the City for not meeting its expectations in terms of the advancing <br />of a complete development team including the names of all consultants. Our approach had been to <br />advance a team of developers with whom the City could be comfortable. If we had been selected <br />by the City as the preferred development team our next step would have been to work with the <br />City in terms of the retaining of a host of other professionals. These would have included <br />government relations experts, traffic consultants, market consultants, experts in municipal <br />finance, etc... In fact, we had gone so far as to speak to two government relations firms to <br />determine their specific expertise, connections and working with our development team in <br />advancing TCAAP. In retrospect, it is most unfortunate that we did not fully disclose all possible <br />consultants to our support our efforts. <br /> <br />We recognize that the City has made a decision to proceed in a particular direction. Should <br />circumstance change our development team would be interested in discussing whatever assistance <br />we can offer to Arden Hills. <br /> <br /> <br />JMN/jmn <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3065 CENTRE FOINTE DRIVE <br />ROSEVILLE, MN 55113 <br />TEL: (651) 638 - 0500 <br />FAX: (651) 638 - 0501 <br />
