TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2004
SUBJECT: SATURDAY BUS TOUR
Attached on page is a copy of the bus tour that is scheduled tomorrow (Saturday) from 9:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please note that there will be coffee and bagels available between 8:30 and 9:00
a.m. in the Eagan Room. Arrangements were made to secure a 24 passenger bus with a driver for
the tour. Those participants, in addition to the City Council, will be the City Administrator,
Director of Community Development, Director of Administrative Services, City Planner and
Director of Public Works.
Representatives of Schafer Richardson and Ryland will join the group in Minneapolis and leave the
group in Eden Prairie as referenced on the attached itinerary.
The tour will allow the City Council and staff to experience projects that are either completed or
currently in a development/redevelopment stage by the Master Developer Team, including a drive
by of the Excelsior Grand Project in St. Louis Park and the Hub in Richfield allows the City Council
to view and have dialogue on neighborhoods that do resemble life centers with a mixture of retail,
residential and other commercial. These projects are not a product of either Ryland or Schafer
Richardson.
Lunch will be catered to the Ryland offices in Eden Prairie around noon from the Bear Rock Cafe.
It is the intention of the City Council to start promptly at 9:00 a.m. with an ending time of 4:00 p.m.,
the time allotted for the bus and to respect everyone's schedules on Saturday.
Look forward to seeing everyone in the morning; if anyone is running late, please call the City
Administrator at 651-485-8937.
