<br />facilities to which Mayor Ramsey replied Allina and Mr. Ulrich stated there has been <br />some interest from the Mayo Clinic - plus extended care facilities. Councilmember <br />Dehen asked if we could make direct contact with the Mayo Clinic and/let them know the <br />City controls portions of the land. Mr. Ulrich responded that we could contact them <br />directly but we should know the price we are asking first. Councilmember Look <br />commented that Tim Berning might be interested in coming back. Mayor Ramsey stated <br />he definitely would like to see a medical facility built. Councilmember Dehen disagreed <br />that the sole focus is to go out there and try to land something specific. He felt there is a <br />lot of opportunity out there - a medical facility would be great, a small college campus <br />would be great, a Target store would be great. .. It's tough to put all your eggs in one <br />basket. <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich reiterated that we could go back to Jim Lasher and get a proposal to get us <br />through the visioning. He thought that could be fairly minor and when we get to other <br />parts in the process, we could talk with other consultants. He stated he would get another <br />quote from Mr. Lasher and let Council know. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey asked that when the Town Center is on the agenda, that it be more <br />specific to an item versus the broad topic of RTC. The discussion ends up all over the <br />place and it's too difficult to really accomplish something. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Consensus was to adjourn the City Council work session at 9:31 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Jo Ann M. Thieling <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />Kurtis G. Ulrich <br />City Administrator <br />
