<br />Commissioner Look suggested adding that affordable transitional housing could be available on <br />demand. <br /> <br />Commissioner Elvig stated there is a term used with regard to a medical facility - quiet health - <br />and looking at all these features being a part of their facility - plus high visibility to Highway <br />#10. Is that important to the VA or just other medical facilities - environmental healing. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGlone inquired if we want to mention that the Town Center is transit oriented <br />and pedestrian friendly and the parks are developed. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan replied that is covered - these things are here and are growing. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated that with some of the bad publicity we have received about the <br />Town Center, we talked about future first but there are some good points in the current reality. <br />Maybe we should add first that we have a successful development here in many respects - <br />maybe then add that it's an urban, mixed-style center and has room to grow. They will be <br />looking at existing amenities first. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan agreed and stated he would flip that order - list the current amenities but it goes <br />beyond that. This is a great space - this has jobs, shopping, etc. With pad-ready infrastructure, <br />it basically says we are ready to go. With regard to sustainability - he stated he just wanted to <br />make a sustainability statement. <br /> <br />Chairperson Dehen inquired what the graphic next to sustainability is trying to show. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan stated it's showing other aspects but he wasn't sure it's effective. He added that he is <br />re-Iooking at that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Elvig stated we have to take a real strong roll in going green. I think we need to <br />say we are extremely committed to the green concept. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ramsey stated that concept of sensible green would be appropriate. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan stated he had that in originally and he will put it back in. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGlone stated we are trying to sell Ramsey as a unique opportunity. Because <br />we are only 10 percent built out - that's a unique opportunity not found anywhere else. We can <br />talk about what we are trying to do but they may have a specific thing in mind - let them know <br />we are open to whatever. . <br /> <br />Commissioner Look asked where Senator Jungbauer is on the water recirculation grant. <br /> <br />Mr. Lazan stated he is nervous about being too public on that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Look stated maybe we leave out the grant part but say we are interested in <br />expanding on that. <br /> <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority/September 14, 2009 <br />Page 5 of8 <br />
