This is the <br />second time the dome has collapsed during a snow <br />storm. The first time was user error. The second <br />occurance caused turf damage. Due to difficulties with <br />insurance coverage, all options are being considered, <br />from abandoning the dome to replacing it with a better <br />roof. Huffman favors replacement. A decision is <br />expected within the next few months. <br /> <br />Rice Creek Commons, a 427 acre mixed use <br />development project, sponsored by the County in <br />Arden Hills is still in the planning stage. <br />(Continued on page 2) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Update from Commissioner Huffman <br /> <br /> <br />Council Members Sworn in for New Term <br /> Two Gem Lake City Council members were sworn <br />into new terms of office after their election on <br />November 6 of last year. <br /> <br />Gretchen Artig-Swomley and Len Cacioppo took <br />the oath of office for their four year terms. The oath <br />was administered by Ramsey County <br />Commissioner Blake Huffman, who represents the <br />first district in the county.

Cacioppo is <br />beginning his first full term, having been appointed <br />to office in 2017, when a position was vacated. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
