TCAAP/RICE CREEK COMMONS UPDATE <br /> City Administrator Jagoe stated the Joint Development Authority held three meetings on <br /> December 1st. The first meeting was a closed session for attorney-client privilege litigation <br /> against Alatus Arden Hills, LLC. <br /> During the work session, the JDA received a presentation from Ramsey County staff on Building <br /> 116, a structure on the Rice Creek Commons site that is owned by the Army and houses <br /> equipment related to the Army's groundwater cleanup work. Over the past few years, various <br /> concerns such as Location, Space, and Aesthetics as well as Public Health and Safety have been <br /> raised about Building 116. It was noted that the building itself this has not undergone major <br /> updates since it was constructed 1942 and that the building envelope may be larger than necessary <br /> for current system needs, as it formerly housed some Army equipment that was removed after this <br /> portion of the site was decommissioned. Access to the facility needs to be maintained to ensure <br /> Army and its contractors can continue to fulfill their remedial obligations. <br />
