information gave us great ideas to apply to our materials.... maybe to win another award!! Proposed Hotel Project • I had a preparation meeting with Charlie Hall to help him decide how to present the information regarding the hotel market feasibility study at the work session. He is very excited about the project and has been talking to a developer that might be interested in the project. He is coming to the work session to see if the Council will support the concept and be willing to explore the use of TIF for the project. Interstate 35W Corridor • The City of Roseville facilitated a meeting between I-35W Corridor communities of , Mounds View, New Brighton, Arden Hills and Shoreview to see if there is interest in working collaboratively to market the corridor's re/development assets, developing a tax increment policy and work to lobby for the interest of the corridor as a group rather than individually. One of the ideas discussed was collectively putting land use information on GIS using data from Ramsey County and the Met Council. Roseville has dedicated a ton of staff time to developing their GIS system and they are willing to help other communities to develop theirs. We will be having a few more strategy meetings and then bring the ideas back to the Mayors/Councils for consideration. MSP Real Estate • Jennifer and I will be meeting with Jeff Hugget of MSP (developers of Silver Lake Pointe) to discuss the possibility of working jointly on multi-family rehab projects. We will identify properties that are in need of rehab and see if they are interested in pursuing them. Cathy Indian Sovereignty The Indian Sovereignty Task Force met Last Thursday to discuss the future direction of the committee. Meetings have been a wealth of information in regards to the history of Indian reservations, Indian Sovereignty law and the frustrations City and County governments are experiencing. Speakers have included city and county officials, tribal members and their representatives, attorneys, House Research, the Minnesota Department of Revenue and many other interested parties. The Task Force came to the decision that the meetings have been a very valuable experience and need to be continued. The direction now, will to become a"coalition comprised of active participants representing cities, counties, tribal members, schools, townships, and the State." The League will continue to take the sponsorship role of the committee. Understanding of all sides to this issue have been a top priority thus far.
