City Administrator Norman indicated the City received two proposals from architectural firms on <br />the fitness center in Town Center. One of the proposals is from the group that has been working <br />with Minneapolis with their station area planning in Twinsville. He noted this fitness center will <br />tie uniquely into the core planning of Town Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Feges advised the center corridor of Town Center will need to take into consideration City <br />Hall, but also the fitness center and cinema and how everything will tie together. He explained <br />early in the development of the concept of Town Center, the developers of Twinsville <br />approached Ramsey Town Center, LLC. They collaborated to understand the experience and <br />connectivity, and how these areas would tie together. As this comes through Ramsey Town <br />Center, LLC is excited to work with all of the components and to refine the master plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted it looks like this firm does a lot of urban planning, which is good. <br />However, they have a lot of projects listed that have never been built. He is familiar with <br />Ankeny Kell, which is an extremely highly regarded architect. He noted there are a couple of <br />good choices to consider. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Jeffrey, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />The Work Session of the City Council adjourned at 6:55 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />James E.
