Councilmember Musgrove asked the status of the TIF extension request to the legislature. <br /> City Administrator Hagen stated that it is at the revisor's office with many other bills and is drafted <br /> to be an amendment rather than a new bill. He stated that if the City also has a plan and is ready <br /> to act, as they are developing, that will also help at the legislature. He stated that once they have <br /> this information, they will be requested committee hearings. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that if it would be helpful, the Council could call members of <br /> the legislature. <br /> City Administrator Hagen summarized the priorities and next steps as confirmed by the consensus <br /> of the Committee. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove requested more bookmarks to be inserted to make The COR Analysis <br /> document easier to navigate. <br /> 5.03: Review HY-10 Ramsey Improvements Feasibility Study <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the status of the HY-10 Ramsey <br /> Improvements Feasibility Study. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff stated that generically that makes sense. He asked if option two is <br /> cheaper because it does not include land acquisition and asked if that would connect to the <br /> driveway for the new West Armstrong Retail development. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that there would be a drive access into <br /> that street. <br /> City Administrator Hagen commented that the cul-de-sac would redo what exists today. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff referenced the proposed concrete walk, noting that there is very little <br /> and asked if the developers would take on additional portions along their undeveloped parcels. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that to be correct. <br /> Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented that staff wanted to ensure a connection <br /> from the ARAA dome to the COR and it was not yet determined if additional sidewalk would be <br /> needed, depending on what development occurs. He noted that there might be something planned <br /> to go along Armstrong and did not necessarily think it was planned to have sidewalks fully <br /> throughout this area. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff commented that he would support the sidewalk connection to the <br /> COR but also the north/south connection because of the new homes in the vicinity. He noted that <br /> perhaps kids will be biking to the dome in the summer. He confirmed the segment he would be <br /> thinking of would be along Ferret. <br /> Public Works Committee/ February 21, 2023 <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br />
