ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL TCAAP WORK SESSION-NOVEMBER 9, 2009 9 D. TCAAP Conference Call and Ramsey County Plan Councilmember Holmes stated she would like more detail on the TCAAP conference call along with the Greg Mack email from Ramsey County. City Administrator Moorse reviewed the information discussed on the conference call. He noted an email was being sent by the GSA to all developers in the Twin Cities metro area regarding the public sale to remind them of the bidders' conference, and the GSA would also be putting out a press release. City Administrator Moorse indicated a stenographer would be present at the bidder's conference to report the happenings at the event, which will be summarized after the meeting and provided to all organizations present. He indicated a "for sale" sign would be posted at the intersection of CR96/TH 10. City Administrator Moorse noted that at the bidder's conference there would be a fact sheet provided by the City with information and expectations for the site and that this would be presented by the City. Councilmember Holmes questioned if the leasing issues were discussed. City Administrator Moorse explained the GSA is now planning to use a license and not a lease, to clean up the property, which has been done in Denver, Colorado. The City requested a copy of this license to allow for review of the documents. Councilmember Grant suggested that the municipality in Colorado be contacted to provide the City with comments on the licensing situation. Mayor Harpstead asked if the GSA has provided the City with information on past leases. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated they have not, but that they were providing information about the licensing. Councilmember Holden suggested that Mike Comadeca be contacted to review the differences between the lease and the license. City Administrator Moorse stated this would be the next step after asking questions from Kevin Legare and then with Carmen Netton.
