CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 01/13/2026 <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Not Applicable <br />Information <br />Title: <br />2026 Legislative Priorities <br />2. 4. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this discussion is to review the 2025 Legislative Outcomes and 2026 Legislative Priorities for the <br />City of Ramsey. Attached is a draft 2026 Legislative Priority document for review. <br />2025 Legislative Priority Outcomes: <br />• TIF 14 (The COR) project received approval for a language change that allowed for clear language on what <br />expenses incurred within the TIF 14 District are reimbursable through TIF 14 proceeds <br />• Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Water Treatment Plant Trunk Waterivain - no approval granted <br />• $6.8 million in State Bonding requested for the construction of the Water Treatment Plant - no approval <br />granted <br />• Funding for continued study of a Ramsey/Dayton Mississippi River bridge project- no approval granted <br />• Expanded Metro Mobility Service Area - no approval granted, but this no longer requires special legislation <br />but more so an operations change due to funding for Metro Mobility now coming from sales tax. <br />• Closed Landfill Legislation to allow for economic development - no approval granted, however, staff <br />continues to monitor for when the best opportunity would be to move forward with the request. <br />Recommendation: <br />Provide feedback on any necessary changes to the document. The intent is to bring a final version to the January <br />27 regular council meeting for adoption. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Provide consensus feedback on any necessary changes to the document. <br />DRAFT 2026 Legislative Priorities <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 01/0R/2026 03:20 PM <br />Form Started By: Brian Hagen Started On: 01/07/2026 02:45 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/08/2026 <br />
