Every time the <br />City Council prepares to make a decision or take an action, which is likely <br />to occur at the start and end of every planning phase, there will be a news <br />release via local media outlets and an updated newsletter on the City's web <br />site. The public will be encouraged to review and comment on all of the <br />work products, alternatives and draft recommendations. At least two <br />public open houses will also be held at key points of the planning process . <br />to share site plan alternatives with the public. <br /> <br />KICKOFF MEETING <br />The Kickoff Meeting of the Advisory Panel is currently scheduled for <br />November 19, 2002. The progress of the 18-month land transfer process <br />will determine the exact timeframe for the entire master planning study, <br />including the work of the Advisory Panel. For further information, inter- <br />ested members of the public may contact John W. Shardlow of Dahlgren, <br />Shardlowand Dban, Inc. at 612-339-3300 or jshardlow@dsuplan.com. <br /> <br />PROPERTY TRANSFER PROCESS <br />The Federal Government follows a set procedure whereby land is declared <br />to be surplus and title to the property may be transferred. The process for <br />disposal of surplus land at the Twin Cities Army Ammunitions Plant is <br />still underway. Congress is currently reviewing the Department of the <br />Army's declaration of surplus land. Once this has been completed, other <br />federal agencies will be screened for possible use of the surplus property, <br />followed by public or non-profit agencies promoting certain public uses <br />such as homeless services, parks or education. State and local govern- <br />ments may then be screened for public use of the property. Any remain- <br />ing property may then be transferred to the city, which would receive title <br />to the property from the Federal Government. . <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Issue 1 <br />
