ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 28, 2005 8 . work in progress and he believed it was important the residents were aware of this proposal. He believed they needed to send out a notice because it was the right thing to do. Mayor Aplikowski asked if they wanted a letter sent to all of the residents of Arden Hills. Councilmember Grant replied that was an option. Ms. Wolfe stated in her earlier comments, she was not intending or trying to create more difficulty with this. She stated if the direction was for additional public input and information, they might not have the best process and perhaps they could not do it in time for the first meeting in March. She noted there was a public meeting set for March 16. She indicated at their last meeting, there was a concern about getting an update out to the residents, but staff determined that they could get in into the next newsletter, but this unfortunately had taken longer than they had hoped. She stated they had the option of sending out a separate notice to the residents regarding the TCAAP development. Mayor Aplikowski asked if they did the letter to the residents for her to go along with that one, it would have to be very carefully stated that this was not a question of whether or not they were going to develop TCAAP because they had already passed that line and they are going to develop TCAAP. She asked what the point was in having residents come forward and what would they tell the Council about this vision. She noted they could inform the residents about the vision, but she did not know what the residents would tell Council about the vision. She asked why they were asking residents to come and make comments. . Jim Ostlund, 1576 Royal Hills Drive, stated he was looking forward to the TCAAP development.
