The expansion envisions a regional facility drawing visitors to the <br />area resulting in investments by the private sector specific to commercial and retail. The <br />expansion would allow increased recreational and entertainment opportunities to Mounds <br />View Residents. <br />The Council authorized and received an economic assessment specific to operations as a <br />regional youth amateur sports venue from CSL earlier this year as part of this exploration. <br />Feasibility of the project is dependent upon State Bonding inclusion, which requires concept <br />drawings, and validated construction cost estimates. The Council has also interviewed and <br />selected a governmental relations firm to assist in the bonding process. <br />At their September 2022 workshop, council directed staff to seek out up to three architectural <br />firms qualified to provide concept drawing and validated cost estimates and interviewed <br />Adkins, Kodet, and Oertel at their October 2022 workshop. Council further directed staff to <br />have follow up conversations with Kodet and Oertel specific to their experience with project <br />that have received state bonding. <br />Staff will be interviewing Kodet and Oertel on Monday morning October 10, 2022 and will be <br />providing a verbal report/recommendation to Council at their meeting held at 6:30 pm. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Diverse livable community <br />Financial Impact: Fee of $XXXXX <br />Recommendation: <br />Will be provided at Council Meeting <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
