Informational Items:
1. Columbia Arena—Municipal Center& Development RFQ Update
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, presented an update on the City's progress of
the Municipal Center and RFQ Update. He stated that the City held the bond sale for the $50.5M
needed to construct the new municipal center on January 9th. Final design work is nearly
complete and construction agreements are being drafted. reviewed details of the proposed City
Civic Campus.
Mr. Hickok stated that staff released an updated Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to begin the
process of selecting a development partner for private development around the new Municipal
Campus. On January 13th, the RFQ was made available to developers through a notice in
Finance and Commerce. RFQ's were sent out to 10 developers that requested copies. A
mandatory, pre-submittal meeting was held on January 25th for those developers wanting to
submit responses to the RFQ. There were eight attendees representing developers at the
meeting. RFQ's are due back at noon on Friday, February 17th.
Commissioner Backlund asked how deep will the pond be.
Mr. Hickok wasn't sure but noted that there would be varying depth.
Commissioner Backlund asked if the pond would be like Centennial Lakes in Edina.
Mr. Hickok replied yes, very similar.
Commissioner Backlund asked if thermal heating and cooling would be used.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of February 2, 2017 Page 3
Mr. Hickok replied no, staff did look at that as an option but over the long run costs were high
and the payback was not adequate to consider it.
Commissioner Eggert didn't see on the schedule when the pool would be filled with water; that
may be a fun event.
Mr. Hickok replied that there will be water in this feature at all times. There will be a natural
runoff from the building and hard surface to enjoy. This will be a place for events.
Commissioner Eggert thought it would fun to offer gondola rides for the grand opening. It
looks like a future pavilion will be added so there is opportunity to enhance that area.
Mr. Hickok replied that is correct and a pavilion will also emphasize the community garden
feature.
Commissioner Holm asked if there would be storage for things like salt and other types of
material that public works uses.
Mr. Hickok replied that there will be some salt on this site; a larger salt tent will be located
offsite.
Commissioner Holm asked where the fire department would do their training.
Mr. Hickok replied that there would be a training facility on the new campus.
Commissioner Holm asked if offices where residents do business in city hall would be on the
first level.
Mr. Hickok replied yes; the 2nd level will have storage and council chambers.
Commissioner Holm asked if the building would have access for those with disabilities.
Mr. Hickok replied that the building would be designed in a way to keep up with technology
and ADA accessible.
Commissioner Eggert asked if there was any desire to get points along the LEED system.
Mr. Hickok replied that throughout the course staff would like them to follow the LEED type
design, not certification. We are working closely with Excel on the design of the building. Early
projections on rebates will be around$100,000 for the efficiency of the design.
Commissioner Backlund asked staff to keep an amphitheater in mind like Centennial Lakes for
future development.
Mr. Hickok replied that there will be an amphitheater pad in place and land dedicated to add
later.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of February 2, 2017 Page 4
Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel asked where the recycle events would be held.
Mr. Hickok replied that in the interim they may have to find a spot for these events but once this
is done there are different options to consider. This is being designed to accommodate these
events in the future.

Action Items:
1. Motion Authorizing Staff to Negotiate a Development Agreement for Locke Park Pointe.
Paul Bolin, Assistant Executive Director Fridley HRA, presented information on the RFQ
process that resulted in four proposals by developers interested in developing the private portion
of Locke Park Pointe.
Paul Bolin indicated that after the four candidate groups were interviewed, two candidate groups
were selected for further consideration and a second interview by staff. Upon second interview,
one group clearly shone above the others. The candidate not recommended would have clearly
waited to decide what to develop east of the future public works facility and indicated that they
would prefer to not install the entire parkway, until they knew what they were going to do to
provide a development east of the public works facility. The strategy could have left the City
with an incomplete Parkway and in search of a new developer in the future to complete the
development east of the new public works facility. Flaherty and Collins on the other hand,
appeared to be more global in their approach to developing the site and spoke of all areas,
including the area east of public works as they contemplated the future development on this site.
Paul Bolin continued by indicating that Flaherty and Collins have been encouraged by the
success of the Cielo Development and would seek to work to build an amenity rich series of
buildings that would make for an attractive development and possibly provide yet a higher end
housing product, as a housing option in Fridley.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Special Meeting of March 9, 2017 Page 2
Paul Bolin indicated that staff was impressed with the fact that this group would be looking at
the entire site as a unified development, that they saw the Civic campus and pond amenity as a
great complex to build upon, and that they see the ultimate development being specifically
designed for the setting, not a one size fits all solution.
Commissioners Backlund, Eggert, and Chair Pro Tem Gabel, each spoke of touring the Flex
and Grow housing product proposed by the Dominium Group
and asked how the Flaherty
Collins Group's solution for the detached home portion of the site would compete. A general
discussion ensued regarding their tours.
Paul Bolin responded that the individual homes would likely be built by a developer such a Pulte
Homes,who have expressed strong interest in the site.
Paul Bolin concluded his discussion by indicating that 2700 on University is an apartment
project that had just been completed by the Flaherty Collins Group and that it would be available
for them to tour if they would like. He indicated that that is a development with some ground
floor commercial and that the Flaherty Group have not ruled out office and/or restaurant for this
site. They will evaluate all options and indicated that they would like their first building to be a
grand entrance into the remainder of the site.
A discussion by the Commissioners ensued regarding the concepts, the developer responses at
the interview, Pulte Homes, and possibilities of a restaurant.
MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to Authorize staff to negotiate a redevelopment agreement
with Flaherty and Collins Properties for the development of Locke Park Pointe. Seconded by
Commissioner Holm.

''`"" HRA MEETING OF APRIL 6, 2017
DATE: March 28, 2017
TO: Wally Wysopal, Executive Director of HR.Pl '
FROM: Paul Bolin, Assistant HRA Director
SUBJECT: Transfer Property to City for Platting Purposes
As the redevelopment of the former Columbia Arena site continues to move
forward on two different fronts, the new City Hall and the surrounding private
development, the HRA is an active partner in both projects. The Authority
currently owns the land that the new City Hall will be built on, and the City
currently owns the land that will accommodate the private development.
In order to create the lots and legal descriptions to facilitate the new construction
and allow future transfer of lands, the City is undertaking a re-plat of the entire
site. The new plat will carve out the lots needed for City Hall, the stormwater
pond amenity, the proposed parkway, and the areas for private development. To
simplify the platting, staff recommends the Authority transfer title of the Columbia
Arena parcel to the City. The new plat will then allow the City to transfer Outlot's
A, C & F (shown on the proposed plat below) to the Authority for redevelopment.

It should be noted that the City's bond advisors have stated that the bond
proceeds can only be spent on City owned land. In order to facilitate breaking
ground in May, the City must have title to the former Columbia Arena parcel. The
City Council is scheduled to take action on April 24th to formally accept the
property.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Authority approve the attached resolution authorizing
transfer of the parcel to the City.
