The University of Minnesota is continuing on with their selection of a developer for the Les Bolstad Golf Course. The City’s consultant, Bolton & Menk, has put together a 24-26 month plan to follow, starting in approximately March. The first steps are to establish a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC is a group of expert staff, including the City engineer, traffic experts, sewer experts, representatives from the St. Paul Regional Water Services, and others. The CAC will be made up of representatives from the community to talk about planning and to ultimately come up with a master zoning plan. The TAC will be put together by Staff. City Council is discussing at their February 25, 2026 meeting the proposed 9-member CAC. It is being proposed to have six members from Falcon Heights, including one from the University Grove neighborhood, one member at large from the City, and one from each City commission (Planning, Environment, Parks and Recreation, and Community Engagement). There will also be one St. Paul member appointed by District 12, one Lauderdale member appointed by Lauderdale’s City Council, and one Roseville member appointed by Roseville’s City Council. The CAC will likely be meeting on the third Wednesday of the month. Commissioners were advised to fill out an application if they are interested. G. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 1.
