As noted in the Resolution there were several provisions; most importantly that the property would be transferred to Ramsey County. He indicated that Greg Mack did review the Resolution and requested that it be noted the City was in support for the Vento - Wildlife Corridor transfer as well. Community Development Director Lehnhoff reviewed a map with the Council and asked for comments or questions. Councilmember Holmes asked if the Vento Wildlife Corridor was a new section of property or just a new name. Community Development Director Lehnhoff explained this was not a new portion of property; it was always referred to as the wildlife corridor. Mayor Harpstead requested that the word "Vento" be removed from the name. The Council agreed with this suggestion. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to approve Resolution 2009-043 Supporting Transferring Land from the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Property to Ramsey County for the Rice Creek South Regional Trail Corridor, the Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) Trailhead, and the Wildlife Corridor. Councilmember McClung stated he would be reluctantly voting for the trail corridor. He did not feel the City should be forced into making the decision on where the trail corridor should be located. However, in trying to bring the Council together on this issue, he would support the Resolution. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
