. . . ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 25, 2004 7 B. TCAAP INTERIM AGREEMENT EXTENSION Mr. Clark stated the current TCAAP Agreement between CRR, Inc. and the City expired on November 8, 2004 and since more time was needed to resolve various issues, e.g. a City policy position on economic development assistance, a six-month extension was viewed as the best mechanism to continue the current development team contractual relationship. A key premise of the Agreement is the City working on an economic development assistance policy with an understanding that some type of policy position will be arrived at before the extension's termination date in May, 2005. He reviewed the Interim Agreement for the Council. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve the Interim Agreement Amendment Extension as written and its execution by the City. The motion carried unanimously (5- 0).
