<br />Hwy 10 and 96 <br /> <br />. At the August 27, 2007 Council meeting the Council received a copy of the updated modeling <br />option from SEH for their review. The Council will discuss the updated modeling at a future <br />work session (no discussion or action was taken on the option on August 27, 2007). <br /> <br />RIce Creek Parkway <br /> <br />. Staff met with the Ramsey County on August 27, 2007 to discuss the status/ownership of roads <br />through the TCAAP development. The County stated it made sense for Rice Creek Parkway to <br />be a County road, due to the traffic volumes and connectivity. The County stated that the City <br />should currently just look at the section of Rice Creek Parkway from Hwy 96 to County Road H. <br />If the section of Rice Creek Parkway from County Road H to County Road I is connected in the <br />future, it can be considered and added as a County road at that time. They stated that County <br />Road H east ofDS Hwy 10 is currently not the County's, but it would make sense to have this be <br />the County's jurisdiction as well, due to the reconstruction of the interchange. They also stated <br />that it may make sense for the access to TCAAP off ofDS Hwy 10 up to Rice Creek Parkway to <br />be the County's as well. <br /> <br />Market Study <br /> <br />. Staff has received three proposals from firms to complete a residential and/or commercial market <br />study for TCAAP. Staff will summarize the proposals in a memorandum for the City Council <br />and interviews with the firms will be scheduled once it is determined which two council members <br />would like to be on the interview committee. <br /> <br />Communication Strategy <br /> <br />. Based upon feedback from the Communications Committee, staff has requested proposals from <br />two firms to assist the City in developing a communications plan and assist with implementation <br />of it. The two firms are Davis Communications Management and Goff and Howard. Staff <br />expects to receive proposals by the end of the week of September 10, 2007. Once proposals are <br />received, staff will provide a summary memorandum for the Communications Committee and <br />City Council. It is anticipated that the Communications Committee will discuss if interviews are <br />warranted or not and will provide a recommendation to the City Council for review and <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Engineering <br /> <br />. Staff met on September 4, 2007 to discuss engineering needs for TCAAP from October I, 2007 to <br />June 30, 2008. The City Engineer will be the primary resource for TCAAP but TCAAP issues <br />related to transportation and remedial investigation review will need to be addressed by a <br />consultant engineer. The City Engineer will be putting together a schedule of needed <br />products/services for this time period and will obtain proposals from the Council approved <br />engineering pool. Any contracts for services will be brought back to the City Council for review <br />and approval. <br /> <br />Project Status Memo <br /> <br />2 <br />
