potential consultants and the interview panel for final candidates. It is posted with a deadline
of March 15.
Legislative_Update
The Governor has placed an appropriation request in his biennial budget for Transportation and
Economic Development that totals $20 million. This number could change when an updated
budget is released later this week; staff will present an update at the next meeting. A map of
transportation improvements and a Gantt chart showing on and off-site transportation costs
were distributed to commissioners.
Update on Cleanup of TCAAP`site
Based on information from the General Services Administration (GSA), staff estimates a mid-
April closing on the property. Bolander has a limited authority to proceed and will start on the
south side of the site. Heavy equipment will be moved behind the fence off County Road H
prior to road restriction implementation. The County will include information regarding this on
the website for communication to the public.
Official Address
Arden Hills has assigned 2020 Highway Avenue to the site for official purposes during the
clean-up. This will be a temporary address that will likely disappear once the site is re-platted
and development occurs.
Se cu rity for TCAAP
Sheriff Bostrom has added site security to the various duties of deputies working overnight.
During daytime hours, Bolander will be responsible for security. Arden Hills is served by the
County Sheriff, so the emergency response will cover TCAAP as well. Prosecution will be
handled by the City of Arden Hills.
Communication and Information
A website has been created for the project: www,tcaap.net.
Environmental and Recyclin
In addition to the soil remediation to a residential standard,the Bolander contract includes the
re-use and recycling of thousands of pounds of steel, timber and building materials either on
site or in other locations. A soil remediation professional will be assigned to the job and we will
report next month on the remediation of the soil.

FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator

SUBJECT: Liability Insurance for the JDA
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
n/a n/a n/a
Summary
The League of Minnesota Insurance Trust(LMCIT) is reviewing the Joint Powers Agreement(JPA)to determine how to
address the insurance needs of the Joint Development Authority (JDA).
Background/Discussion
In order to get a better understanding for what the insurance needs are for the JDA, I met with our City Insurance Agent,
Mark Lenz, from the Bearence Management Group. (The City obtains its insurance from the LMCIT; and the LMCIT
requires that municipalities designate an agent as a condition of participating in the program.)
provided Mark with the JPA and we met on March 4t"to discuss the roles and responsibilities of the JDA. Mark has also
exchanged information with Georgie Schulte, Risk Management Consultant for Ramsey County, regarding JDA insurance,
Mark has meet with LMCIT staff to discuss the insurance needs of the JDA.The LMCIT staff asked about the JDA budget,
which does not yet exist, and for information on the Pollution Legal Liability policy for the County,which has not been
purchased.
Since the JDA is not expected to own equipment or property,the insurance issues appear to be mainly related to
liability. According to Mark, the LMCIT will likely propose the Municipal Liability coverage plan for the JDA.This package
coverage plan provides general liability,errors and omissions,directors and officers, employment practices liability and
coverage for HIPPA.
Most recently, I met with Mark again on March 26t"to review the JDA insurance situation and Mark expects to have a
LMCIT proposal to present to the JDA in May.
