MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 25, 2011
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: TCAAP and Stadium Proposal
Senate File 1164 was introduced on Monday, April 11, 2011. This bill establishes a site
selection process, authorizes local and state funding for a multi-purpose stadium, sets parameters
for stadium use and development, and defines local authority in the planning and development
process. No hearings have been held on the bill. The legislative session, which is currently on
Easter break,will resume on Tuesday, April 26.
Ramsey County has negotiated a postponement of the public auction of the TCAAP site with the
General Services Administration. The postponement allows Ramsey County time to determine
whether a stadium development is feasible. If a stadium development on the TCAAP site were
to move forward, it is likely that the property would be transferred through a negotiated sale.
Ramsey County continues to meet with the Minnesota Vikings to discuss the stadium proposal.
The County and the team are focusing on identifying needed improvements to the transportation
infrastructure and the estimated cost of those improvements.
