have other ideas for business outreach this year?
2. The information previously contained in the business information packets will be
included on the new City website that will go on-line on December 7. By including this
information on the website, businesses will have access to the most current information
24/7. Does the EDC have ideas for promoting the new website to the business
community?
3. The last round of EDC business visits occurred in late 2009/early 2010, nearly three years
ago. Staff has visited all businesses in the B-2 District, and intends to visit additional
businesses in the Round Lake and Red Fox/Grey Fox Districts in 2012 and 2013. Does
the EDC want to conduct any business visits in 2012?

SUBJECT: TCAAP Update
Background
In 2010, the Minnesota Vikings expressed an interest in constructing a new stadium at the
TCAAP site in Arden Hills. On February 15, 2011, the Ramsey County Board adopted
Resolution 2011-075 declaring its interest in pursuing the potential acquisition and remediation
of land and making public infrastructure improvements to allow for a stadium project on the
• TCAAP site. As part of the due diligence, Ramsey County entered into negotiations with the
General Services Administration (GSA) to acquire the site. On November 15, 2011, the Ramsey
County Board approved an offer to purchase (OTP) 430 acres of the TCAAP site for$28.5
million, net of costs for demolition and environmental remediation. Although the Minnesota
Vikings ultimately received legislative approval and funding for construction of a new stadium
facility in Minneapolis, Ramsey County remains interested in the acquisition, remediation, and
productive reuse of the TCAAP site to facilitate economic growth in the north metro.
Ramsey County Acquisition of TCAAP
In April 2011, the Ramsey County Board approved a fixed-price contract with Bolander and
Sons in the amount of$20,660,000 for demolition of buildings and site remediation. The
majority of the contract cost, approximately $15 million, is for building demolition. The
remainder of the contract cost is for site remediation. The demolition of two buildings and
removal of one concrete slab are necessary to accomplish the remediation, bringing the cost to
remediate the site to a commercial/industrial standard to approximately $6 to $8 million. The
Bolander contract has an option for the County to remediate the entire site to residential
standards for an additional cost of$1,985,000.
Based on the terms of the Bolander remediation/demolition contract and the estimated costs to
relocate monitoring wells and associated water lines, Ramsey County has negotiated remediation

TO: Economic Development Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director 2
SUBJECT: TIF Policy
The City Council has approved a proposal by Ehlers & Associates to develop a tax increment
financing(TIF)policy that will assist the City in determining how and when to provide TIF. The
policy development work will include the following tasks:
1. Review the TIF White Paper and make recommendations on a maximum tax capacity
to be captured by City TIF districts as a percentage of total tax capacity;
2. Review policy considerations for projects to be assisted and make recommendations
to meet current and anticipated redevelopment needs of the City;
3. Create a matrix for ranking or scoring TIF applications to determine which are
eligible for further City Council consideration;
4. Review TIF policy to verify that it provides clear understanding to the development
community as to the requirements needed to be met to be considered for TIF
assistance; and
5. Review TIF application and recommend updates based on outcomes of tasks
described above.
Aligning the TIF Policy to the City's development vision and goals will enable the City to
clearly communicate its expectations to the development community. The TIF project is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
