ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—August 10, 2009 2 TCAAP property to be cleaned up and reused for parks and open space, the GSA is moving forward to sell the property through a public sale process. These two processes are moving forward simultaneously. The City is contacting potential partners for the parks and open space use; however, the City must also be prepared to impact the GSA's public sale process to help ensure that the City's needs are reflected in that process. It is the City's position that the public sale must include a mechanism to ensure that the buyer completes the clean-up of the property in a timely manner. Furthermore, the public sale process must also provide information to the potential bidders regarding the City's expectations for the reuse of the property and limitations on the property, such as land use and the limited road access. Letters have been sent to the City's Congressional delegation updating them regarding the TCAAP property. Public Mayor Harpstead opened the public inquiries/informational at 7:03 p.m. Mayor Harpstead closed the public inquiries/information at 7:04 p.m. I APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.
