February 21st Council meeting resolutions were passed that moved for the acquisition of these <br />parcels and to use eminent domain where appropriate. Staff has met with Eugene Brown and <br />Ann Parks and is hopeful acquisitions can be negotiated without the use of condemnation. More <br />updates to come. <br /> <br />Special Legislation: Staff is currently working on two bills. The first bill is to create a Port <br />Authority for the City of Ramsey. The bill would allow the City to expand its bonding power to <br />support projects such as Hwy 10 acquisitions, Town Center projects and continued <br />redevelopment programs in the City. The second bill is to create a special TIF district for the <br />Sunwood Grand project in the Ramsey Town Center. The proceeds from the TIF district will be <br />used to assist the project with the parking structure as well as other financing gaps. Both bills <br />are through preliminary committees and should hit the floor in the next few weeks for a vote. <br />Staff is cautiouslY optimistic that both bills will pass. The bill was heard in another committee <br />and moved through it successfully. <br /> <br />Future Meeting Topics: 1. Land Acquisition <br /> 2.
