<br />...2. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Update on Ramsey Town Center & <br />LCDA Grant and Streetscape Design <br />By: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Staff would like to update Council on recent discussions between interested developers <br />and land owners in Ramsey Town Center and staff progress on forming a partnership <br />with a development group to move the Ramsey Town Center development forward. <br />Attached to this report, is a letter from PSD, LLC to representatives of Neighborhood <br />Development Partners LLC summarizing their recent discussions. <br /> <br />Council will recall the discussion at the March 11, 2008 work session regarding the <br />LCDA Grant and options to either extend the grant deadline or alter the use of the grant <br />funds to cover streetscape construction. Since that time, staffhas continued discussions <br />with Met Council regarding the LCDA Grant and has determined that Met Council staff <br />may be more amenable to extending the deadline than redirecting the funding to another <br />project within Town Center. Staffhas formally requested a two-year extension of the <br />grant from Met Council; the request letter is attached to this report. Staff would like to <br />update Council. on the continued work on a modified streetscape design that would <br />provide for the completion of some pedestrian connections within Town Center that <br />could be funded by LOC proceeds. <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />No action required. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Administrator: <br /> <br />;:oW <br /> <br />CCWS: 04/01108 <br /> <br />-53- <br />
