TCAAP Update October 13,2005 Page 2 of3 . 3. Access from County Road I When we last met with the National Guard, many months ago, it was left that each party (City and Guard) needed to draw up a list of issues that would need to be addressed in order to proceed in discussions regarding the access. When I last spoke with a Guard representative, he indicated that he had put a list together and shared it with his superiors, but that what they really wanted was to know exactly what our request would be in terms of a land swap. I am not sure if we are prepared with that information; I think we are open to discussing options. I think we also had basically slowed down all discussions while we were waiting for the appraisal process to proceed. In any case, I would like to discuss this further during the work session, and determine some additional steps to take in regards to this topic. 4. Interim Agreement If we are going to proceed with negotiations, we will likely have some expenses for professional services (legal, etc.) Without an agreement with CRR, those would be, at least temporarily, City expenses. Negotiation of an agreement may take some time, so we may want to at least start those discussions. But as a preliminary step, CRR has suggested the possibility of a meeting with the City to discuss in general where we are at and what kinds of activities could be taking place, and sharing ideas. If Council is agreeable, this could be scheduled, similar to our previous development team meetings, first thing in the morning perhaps a day in early November. Please provide direction and I can proceed with scheduling such a meeting. . 5_ Response Action Agreement As previously mentioned, there will be a meeting November 28 at I :00 to discuss the Response Action Agreement. I have asked Mike Comadeca to attend that meeting since he has been involved previously and I think it is critical that the City's interests are protected in this document. If you are interested and depending on his flight times, we can schedule a meeting for Council to meet with Mike that day (perhaps late afternoon). It might be an opportunity to just get his thoughts on the process thus far and on strategy as we move forward. He can also share some of his recent experiences working on transfers of military property. Please let me know if you would like such a meeting arranged. 6. Density Discussion There has been a suggestion that it might be timely to begin some discussions regarding density. If Council is interested, I would suggcst that one approach would be to start with some basic education and information. By this, I am thinking of some tours to see different product types with different density levels. This would not only assist the A density discussion but it will also assist when we discuss design standards. For example, ,.
