As an expert transcriptionist, I have analyzed the context and dialogue to identify the speakers, including the Mayor, City Staff, and the various consultants and developers present. **[0:28] Mayor:** e e **[1:28] Mayor:** Hey, hey. How are you folks? All right. Forgot my carbon. I know I brought two bottles just in case. Two bottles of what? No one can tell what that is. *[Gavel sound]* Calling to order for our joint session meeting with the Planning and Zoning, the Council, and all of our esteemed guests. So we're officially gaveled in. How do we—how do we start this, John? **[2:13] John (City Administrator):** Let's do an introduction of some of the folks that we have here tonight. So, perfect. I know we have some new council members. We also have some of our consultant staff here with our city engineer and City Attorney that they haven't been to a meeting yet in a couple months. Sometimes that's a good thing when you don't have to have the consultants at the meeting! So we have Bill Angerman from WHKS and Shelly Ryan from Barry, our attorney, for our new council members that haven't met them; they're here tonight. And then throughout the audience, we have a bunch of different folks kind of represented, but mostly it's folks from Tract and Kimley-Horn and their consultants that are going to kind of give us an overview of the AUAR process. As the last couple meetings and what we've heard, you've heard us talking about the scoping document that was kind of finalized and been published and is out there for comment now. But they're going to give us a little bit more kind of depth on what the next parts of that are going to look like, where people have opportunities to speak, and generally what it is. Because we do want to make sure there's some awareness on what the comment periods are for the AUAR process, then what the comment periods are going to be for kind of the zoning land use process, as the project's going to move into the next phases and hopefully get to the point of development where those opportunities will rise in future meetings for comment. So, you know, it's really taking our time and effort. I'm really appreciative of the folks for being here today to kind of help us navigate this and help our residents and people in the surrounding community as we annex this property to kind of know what this development could look like, what the process is going to look like, where their voices are going to be heard, and that input is going to kind of fall into play for us to take into consideration as we move through this. So I'm going to kick it off to Bill who's going to kind of give us a little bit more rundown and then pass it on. **[4:30] Mayor:** Before we get Bill—before we get started, I do see that we need an approval of the agenda. So before we get going too far, let's just... I'll take a motion to approve tonight's agenda. Motion from Diane, second from Ryan. All those in favor say Aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed? Carries. Thank you. Bill? **[4:30] Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, John. Well, John kind of really summed it up pretty well, but in your packet, there is a memo from me just kind of outlining what John had mentioned. It also outlines some of the timeline. So we are actually right now in our public comment period, okay? So that started on—actually, what's the date today, Mayor? Yeah, the fourth. So today is the start of the public comment. So on our website—and the link is in the memo—is the scoping document that John referred to in a memo as well on how to submit comments. And those comments are for 30 days, so those will run through April 3rd. And I think the key distinction that John mentioned: this is a scoping document. What that means is this is just laying out what's going to be studied. And we're going to have Ashley Payne from Kimley-Horn—she's going to give us a little bit longer [explanation], but I think that's important. So the scoping document has some key items that it's going to look at. It's going to look at impact on water of this development; it's going to look at impact on water resources, geology, soils, wildlife, historic properties, and so on, okay? And what it's going to look at is two different development scenarios, and Ashley will explain that a little more. And that is our job as the Council; we are the body—what's called the Responsible Government Unit (RGU). We are the body that's collecting these comments. We are making sure these comments are addressed. How we do that is we're going to work with the consultant, with the developer's consultant, to make sure they're to our satisfaction. So far what we have done as staff is we have reviewed these documents, we've had a back and forth with comments, they've made revisions, etc., to where we are comfortable with these going out to notice. With that introduction, Mayor, Ashley Payne from Kimley-Horn—I think Ashley's next up—is going to go through some slides unless you have any questions of me? Any from the Council? All right. **[6:04] Mayor:** All right. Thank you. **[6:34] Ashley Payne (Kimley-Horn):** Thank you. Good evening, Council and Planning Commission members. I'm Ashley Payne, I'm an environmental scientist at Kimley-Horn. I've been doing environmental reviews for almost 20 years now. And I'm just here—we're going to talk a little bit as Bill had mentioned just more about the AUAR process. I think I had spoken with a few of you earlier when the RGU agreement was before Council, but did want to give kind of an overview of environmental review documents, knowing it might be a little bit new, especially the AUAR. To kind of take it back—and I think this is all in your packet, we'll also explain it on the screen—environmental review is a state process. It aims to avoid and minimize damage to environmental—Minnesota's environmental resources—caused by public and private action. So not just private projects, but public projects also require an environmental review. The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) oversees the environmental review program. There are some links kind of here but the EQB is how we'll refer to it. One thing about environmental reviews is there's way too many acronyms, so if I say something and you have questions, or if you guys have questions as I'm talking, I do want to make this a little bit interactive so we can answer those questions up front. So as Bill had mentioned, the RGU is the responsible government unit. As noted in Minnesota rules, the RGU is identified as either the single government unit that proposes to carry out or has sole jurisdiction, or two or more government units that propose to carry out or have jurisdiction to approve the project. That is actually the case for this particular site, and that was the RGU agreement that came forward earlier this year to allow the city of Cannon Falls to act as the RGU for this environmental review document. The environmental review program is not an approval process; it doesn't approve or deny a project. It just lays out the existing conditions, potential impacts for a particular project, and then it also identifies mitigation strategies or mitigation measures that could be looked at or could be enforced by the RGU for a particular project. There's multiple levels of environmental review: there's the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), there is the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and then there's the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). And so we're going to talk a little bit more about the AUAR. Just looking at what does require an environmental review in the state of Minnesota, we just have kind of a handy cheat sheet—I know it's a little bit hard to read, so I apologize for that—but just looking at certain thresholds. So if a project meets or exceeds a threshold based on State Statute or Minnesota rules in a particular size of a municipality, it would require its own environmental review. There's a little chart that we're showing on the screen right now that identifies environmental or the thresholds for industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. That's actually the category that's defined in State Statute or Minnesota rules (4410.4300 if you need some late night reading, it's really great, it's very technical). But we're just looking at this: so anything over, you know, 250,000 or 500,000 square feet would require an environmental review or an EIS. An alternate to an EIS is allowing the AUAR process. And if you're looking at the form on the screen, it says, you know, first-class city, second-class city, third and fourth—that's based on population. In the state of Minnesota, we actually only have four municipalities that are considered first-class cities. So the AUAR is a hybrid process between an EAW and an EIS. An RGU can allow a project to move forward within an AUAR if the project, like I said, exceeds an EIS threshold, and it allows it based on scenarios. It allows it as more of a planning tool to identify multiple development scenarios for a particular project area. And so as Bill had defined earlier, this particular site, we're looking at two potential development scenarios moving forward. And for an AUAR, there's also what we consider the AUAR study area, which is the geographic area that defines the project. So just some of the topics... I guess any questions so far? Yeah, go ahead. **[12:02] Council Member:** I guess I have one question. Why—why the AUAR instead of an EIS or EAW? Like, are we skirting around anything by going with the AUAR? Because I know how painful an EIS can be. **[12:02] Ashley Payne:** We are actually not. So an AUAR is essentially an EIS-level review, but we're looking at it based on scenarios and not just a particular project. So you're still having to go through a draft scoping process, which we're in right now. Then there's the preparation of the draft AUAR, that 30-day public comment period; after that, it's revised to the final, then it goes out for another 10-day objection period as well. So we're not actually skirting around anything. It also allows mitigation strategies—so identifying particular strategies for, you know, we're looking at those two scenarios. Scenario one could require this for mitigation, or if scenario two were to move forward, it could be different mitigation. And a lot of times we see that for utilities, traffic analysis, those type of things. **[12:48] Council Member:** Okay. And I guess I have one more question. Public comment period—you know, you said it just started today. Is that something that we get to see, or is that something that's done at the administrator/engineer level? How does that work? **[12:48] Bill Angerman:** So all the public comments, we are required to assemble them and then we would show you those, or you would see those comments. And then if they're just a straight "I like this project" or "I don't like it," there's maybe no comment there. But if there's something like "please describe X," we would then ask Ashley or her team to address that comment. **[13:33] Ashley Payne:** Actually, we address all comments. Yep. Right. And so all those comments will be received by the city. We will help prepare responses to those as Bill had mentioned. And then after the first 30-day public comment period, the documents—so the final AUAR order and scoping—will come in front of the City Council, and the City Council will need to adopt the final order. Essentially saying "we want you to prepare an AUAR for this project." So right now we're just in the scoping phase, identifying the methodology—so what will be studied as part of the AUAR—the scenarios, and then actually the study area. **[14:19] Council Member (Diane):** Yeah, looking at all the maps in this document, this looks like an area that is larger than what I originally thought that Tract had requested. Is this correct? Or... I think this is the same study area that we've always been looking at? When they—when we first looked at what Tract was proposing, I thought it was a smaller portion of that area than this total. But there again, the other maps were not real clear. **[15:07] Ashley Payne:** This is all the land that is being proposed to be purchased by Tract for development, yes. Correct. Yes. Okay. The study area is approximately 251 acres. Currently, there's some land that's within the city of Cannon Falls, and then there is a portion of land that's within Randolph Township. Okay, so just topics that are studied in an AUAR—Bill kind of went through this: climate adaptation and resilience, contamination, hazardous waste, greenhouse gas emissions, water resources, noise, fish and wildlife, plant communities, land use, geology, soils, historic properties, visual, air, transportation, and then also cumulative. So those are all the different categories. And I guess just kind of going back to the topics studied—the way that the AUAR is laid out, like I said, we are just identifying what we will study. A lot of it is existing conditions information. It does identify the different scenarios, but as we move into the AUAR document, it will identify existing conditions, potential impacts, or proposed impacts for each of the scenarios. It could be that the same impacts will result from either scenario; that could be defined in the document as well. And then it will also identify mitigation strategies. We like to call them strategies because if things were to change... we're looking at maximum density that could go out there. So the scenarios that are being studied in the AUAR might not necessarily be what is constructed at the end or what might come in through entitlements, but it identifies the strategy—so what would be required for mitigation if that were to occur. And in the mitigation plan, it will outline all of the different sections and it could define who is the responsible party as well. Environmental documentation kind of oversees EISs, AUARs, and EAWs. This graphic is a little bit hard to read... it actually outlines all of the different components of a particular technology park/data center and the different oversight agencies or different agencies that will review it, have to provide some sort of permit approval, or will provide some sort of input on the project. So as you can see, there's a lot of different agencies, there's a lot of different components that go into this. Most of these categories are included in the AUAR. And so as part of the distribution of all the documents, they go to the state agencies—there's about 25 state agencies that do receive a copy of that and they would provide comments if they do have comments on the overall document. So this is a good timeline or snapshot to show all of the different review agencies. Any questions on this? **[18:23] Mayor:** I just want to—to the Council, I love seeing this because I think there might be a lot of people in the community that have a lot of questions already, and they come directly to myself or the Council. And to have this sheet to show how many different agencies have to look at this and give this a thumbs up without just saying "well the Council said they could"... like, there's a lot of agencies. This isn't—nothing is going to be done [quietly]; we're very transparent with who's all involved and all the requirements. So I really think that this is wonderful to have. **[19:55] Ashley Payne:** Yeah, and on the review agencies as well: those agencies that are listed on the EQB distribution list get a copy of the scoping document and our methodology for what we're going to include or the studies that will be completed for the AUAR, and they can provide comment on that. So if they—a lot of times we see comments on traffic, like "hey have you thought about this intersection," or DNR making sure you're addressing endangered species or potential water appropriations that might be needed. So a lot of times we're getting comments in advance of the AUAR document to make sure that we're starting to address some of those maybe questions that the agencies have. As I'd mentioned, the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) kind of oversees the environmental review process. So I just wanted to outline some of the steps for a large project. We took both of those boxes [for size/threshold], and so we're going to go through the steps for a large project. Those steps are the draft order and scoping document—that's the process we're in right now. That's a 30-day public and agency comment period (starts today, runs through April 3rd). Then the final order—after all of those comments are received by the city and we work through any changes, that will go into the final order and the scoping document. The final order and the scoping document is adopted by the City Council, and that's essentially saying that you are ordering the preparation for the AUAR. So I know we're kind of already in that process, but you're officially saying "yes, we want an AUAR to be completed on this property." From there, we move into the AUAR and the mitigation plan. There's the draft AUAR mitigation plan. Once that's ready and final, that goes forward to a 30-day public comment period. From there, those comments are received; we'll work with the city to respond to any of those comments. And I will say substantive comments—you know, like Bill said, if we get one that says "we really like this project," we say "comment noted." After the 30-day public comment period, we prepare the final AUAR and mitigation plan. Any changes that come in based on the comments will get revised, and then that document actually has to go out for a 10-day state agency objection period. So all of those 25 agencies get another 10-day window to provide any final comments to make sure that they are comfortable with the mitigation that's outlined. After we get through the 10-day objection period, then that will come back to City Council for final adoption. As you can see, there's multiple steps; this will come back in front of you a couple of times. Are there any questions on this process? **[23:16] Council Member:** I've got a question. How often do you make significant changes in that period where after you take all the comments and then redraft? How—how often do you make a significant change? **[24:02] Ashley Payne:** We don't usually make a significant change, especially if we've already gone through the scoping process; a lot of times those comments are already vetted. So I would say there could be some small tweaks or changes, but very rarely do we make significant changes to the document. I don't think in all my years of doing environmental reviews or AUARs we've had to send it back out for another comment period because something significantly had changed. So the steps for the large project—it does add some additional time to the overall process, but it does really vet out to make sure that all of the agencies are comfortable. This is just kind of a tentative schedule for the AUAR. You can see where we are in the process—we're at the draft order scoping, March 4th through April 3rd. And then after that, this will come in front of City Council in April. We're looking at finalizing the full process summer 2025. I think the anticipated schedule has like an August time frame, but again, just wanting to make sure we have enough time to address all the comments. Any questions so far? No? Okay. All right. Feel like I'm doing a lot of talking, so if I'm talking too much or too fast, please let me know. We just wanted to provide kind of a little bit of a snapshot of where we are in the process for this project and then kind of what is remaining. So as you can see on the left side, we're in the environmental review—we're in scoping. And so you can kind of see the project at AUAR and then all of the entitlements that follow and all of the other approvals that follow after that. We are in the very early stages of the project. This is a little bit helpful kind of for the general public as well to understand where we are. This goes out for multiple public comment periods. **[27:13] Mayor:** I would like to comment—I don't know, wouldn't say that the end part is to scale because the construction period can take a lot longer than even the study part and plan. So don't expect, "oh wow, we spent six months on this, they can construct it in a month!" **[27:52] Ashley Payne:** Yeah, definitely not. It definitely extends out from construction and then, you know, certificate of occupancy. **[27:52] Council Member:** So if people have questions about water use and all that, would that come more in the mitigation type thing, or where would those comments be? **[28:39] Ashley Payne:** Yeah, so if they have comments on water or utilities, some of that information will be included as part of the AUAR. We don't know exactly what's going to happen out there because we're in the very early stages of everything, but we'll talk about potential water usage. We'll also talk about potential mitigation. So if the project uses X many million gallons per day, this is what would be required from a city infrastructure standpoint or a government agency standpoint. Because if there's a change to a water appropriations permit that's needed, that will be outlined in the AUAR document. Also gets into sanitary sewer—wastewater treatment is also addressed as part of an AUAR document as well. **[29:26] Council Member (Diane):** I was just... yep, trying to figure out kind of where... I saw the outline of it and it was "to be discussed later," "to be discussed later," and I didn't know if what part of the... **[29:26] Ashley Payne:** Yep, so that will be included in the draft AUAR, and then if there's any changes, it will be included in the final. We're just looking at the study right now. **[29:26] Council Member (Diane):** I was just wondering, we have—you have your time frames in there, but is this like the only city that's got this program going? I mean, we got a lot of state organizations that have to be involved in the final approval. Is there—like, are we competing with them? Like, so that this time frame could actually extend further, or is it just set right where it is? **[30:58] Ashley Payne:** No, I mean, typically not. For the AUAR process, you wouldn't need to worry about extension; the city is the RGU, they're the ones that approve the document. All of those other components could be in addition to our current AUAR. But the city is the one that would be looking at the overall timeline and there are specific timelines set in State Statute. So from the date that you adopt an order to prepare an AUAR, you have 120 days. Now, that can be extended, but in State Statute, what they try to get at is just so that the process continues to move. For instance, looking at a potential air permit—that would come after an AUAR is approved. The one thing about an AUAR is once you've started the process, the city couldn't approve a development to go and you couldn't start construction on a project within the AUAR study area if it hasn't already been entitled. **[32:31] Council Member (Ryan):** I got a question here. So can you go back to the slide with the development process? Because I just want to make sure I'm interpreting this right. So the numbers up there, the purple dots—that's every opportunity for the public to comment on this, right? Or those are the timelines the public can comment on this, correct? From like a 30-day public comment period. But I think... Trish, I don't know where you are, correct me if I'm wrong, but like for Planning Commission/City Council, if there's a hearing that has to occur as part of that process, the public could comment on that as well. I'm just trying to get from a public standpoint: if there are concerned residents out there, I mean, if there's a comment and they have concerns, get them in as soon as possible would be my advice. But I think once we get to site plan review, you or whoever has already done all of that work of "this is what we're going to put in here," AKA we probably won't change the plans based on your input. Does that sound appropriate? Or now's the time if the public's concerned? I would say looking at this timeline now, by the time we get done with this AUAR, that's probably when we would want all of the public input, yes. **[33:17] Kristen Dean (Tract):** So I'm Kristen Dean, I'm with Tract. Thanks for allowing us to have this opportunity to explain this process and also just another chance to meet with you guys. So the AUAR is really this preliminary study of the land and looking at these alternative scenarios. It's beneficial in that it helps us understand what the mitigation measures need to be considered as we move through the process of creating the development plans—the defined development plans for this site. So the AUAR is very high level; it's this early stage kind of umbrella guiding document. There are opportunities for public comment in the AUAR, and it really does need to precede our final—like when our final zoning of the site [happens]. And so—and we're navigating this along with Randolph Township too, right, at the same time. As we're going through this AUAR process, we are going to be talking to City staff, we are going to be talking to the community about the rezoning. So the rezoning is more of the local level framework; it's the setbacks, it's the height, it's the access points, it's what's really trying to build out the framework of the horizontal and vertical development with the AUAR guiding any kind of mitigation. We are going to hold a community meeting; it's going to be late in April is what we're flagging. The reason it's late in April is because that gives us time to get further down the road with the AUAR and also engage in the conversations with staff about the PUD and rezoning framework. So that when we meet with the public, we have more answers than outstanding questions. It does not mean that we figured everything out by then because we want their comments to also guide the development of the property. We're trying to really find that "sweet spot" as to when to present information to the public. And so we don't want to do it too early, but we don't want to do it too late either. And so late April feels like we'll be in a good place for that. Then we'll be moving through the rezoning process and that's just a different set of review criteria—it's the local process that we're doing with the city. And so then the public comment will be reflected or be tied to what is being proposed through that rezoning process. **[36:22] Council Member:** That's helpful. I just want people to understand when they should come forth with concerns, comments, etc. When's the appropriate time to do it? **[37:08] Kristen Dean:** I think that they're going to be—what we want to try to manage is people coming to their own conclusions about things because they don't have enough information. But we can't come to them with information until we've done all of our studies. And so we're going to create a website; we'll have contact information. Brian McClung is here, he's our PR person, so he's our "boots on the ground" Dakota County resident that can meet with people one-on-one. He'll be facilitating our community meeting. We want to make sure that the public has opportunities to engage. We'll have the website, we'll have email address, we'll have a 1-800 number. Plenty of opportunity for not just that community meeting engagement but one-on-one engagement too. What I also want to explain on what is Tract's model: we're establishing the framework for future development. So people are going to want to know, "What is it exactly going to look like?" We have some conceptual ideas of what it will look like, but that's not what we're doing in this stage of development. That actual—the details of the horizontal and vertical development come at the site plan level. We're building everything up so that by the time someone comes in at a site plan, they have all these additional regulatory measures that we've all vetted through together. We're just pre-planning and pre-programming the site, but it really comes down to the site plan processes as to what it actually looks like. **[39:26] John (City Administrator):** I'd say at any point, like, comments are always acceptable to be turned in. They may not be specifically relevant or appropriate for AUAR, but they'll be acknowledged and kind of directed as such. Like if it's a building quality or building style comment in the scoping review—not relevant right now, and yet it's still important to note and it will be recorded for us along the way. So I think that the final part of saying these studies are for preparing us for that site plan review is really important. It's to make sure that our—comprehensively vetting all of things environmental, the zoning of our area where the project is going to be located... are we taking in all the considerations of those factors before we go and say "this is more what it's going to look like" and those things are guiding that development as well. **[40:13] Council Member:** Okay. Well, yeah, great clarification again. So Tract basically gets the land ready with all the permitting and all this what we're going through. Do you then as a company market that and sell it to another company who will actually present the site plan and build it out, or do you continue to own it and rent it or...? **[41:03] Kristen Dean:** So we have a number of different ways to facilitate the vertical development. One is Tract can continue to own the land and ground lease it to an end user. Tract has the ability to be the end user through an affiliate company and go vertical. We can, under an affiliate company, build data centers, or we can sell the land to a hyperscaler—a Meta, a Google, a Microsoft. We have those relationships with them. So we have those kind of like, I would say, three exit strategies. Two of which Tract retains full control of the site in some various form. The third with the selling—you know, this is going to be a two-campus site, so it could be that we employ one of our strategies where we say we ground lease or our affiliate builds, but then we sell the other campus to a Microsoft. While we may not ultimately be the end user, we plan as if we are. That's where our business succeeds—is that if we have a very seamless transition between what we've done, this work here, to the end user, then that makes the land more valuable to them because this is the heavy lift. This is the thing that takes the longest amount of time, requires a lot of investment, time and financially. Our business is successful when we can essentially hand a "turn-key" shovel-ready site to an end user, whoever that may be. **[42:52] Mayor:** Any other questions from the Council? Anything else that needs to be included with the presentation? **[43:01] Ashley Payne:** I guess just to reiterate where we're at in the process—we're in the environmental process. It's really the upfront due diligence to better understand what could be required. And that's including utilities with water and sewer and other infrastructure, including roads. We're doing a traffic study to better understand: are there turn lanes that are required or is there any other potential traffic mitigation? We're looking at two scenarios: one's an industrial park and one is a technology park. So there will be some differences identified in the overall AUAR document because of that, just because the two different uses look at traffic, for instance, a little bit differently. **[44:31] Council Member (Diane):** Regarding annexation—Industrial Park, obviously the north side of town. Do we have anything that's designated a Technology Park in the city of Cannon Falls at this point in time? I don't believe so. I don't think. Business Park, not Technology Park. Okay. And with that, trying to put this all together when you say "two campuses," so could there be one industrial, one tech center, or would they not be compatible at all? **[45:19] Ashley Payne:** No... I'm sorry, in with what we're proceeding with, two campuses would be two Technology Park campuses—so two data center campuses, yes. We're not looking at changing the use on one; it's just an opportunity to have multiple end users. **[45:19] Kristen Dean:** And if it was industrial, it would be the entire area? **[45:19] Ashley Payne:** So we're looking at two scenarios. We're talking two different processes and two different items. So we're looking at two different scenarios: so the entire 251 acres could be an industrial park, or the 251 acres could be a technology park that could be multiple campuses. There could be multiple industrial users, let's say if it does move forward with an industrial park. But we're looking at those two scenarios for the entire study area. Kristen is talking a little bit more specifically as they move forward with kind of entitlements and development. **[45:19] John (City Administrator):** And just to help clarify, the evaluation of an AUAR, as I understood too, is looking at the highest potential use of the property. It may not necessarily mean the expected use of the property, but the potential use of the property. Correct? Hence why also incorporating industrial use into the evaluation of the site? Is that correct? **[46:53] Ashley Payne:** That's correct. And so we're looking at maximum density of development—what could go there based on code or existing constraints. Obviously, there are some existing constraints out there with setback requirements, a couple of wetlands that were identified, an existing irrigation well. We're looking at maximum density of what could go there and that's where that mitigation plan comes in. So if, you know, the maximum density of development does move forward, you would identify in the mitigation plan: "Okay, if you are going to impact the wetland that's out there, this is the process, this is the permit that's required." If you need X many million gallons per day of water, this is the process that would be required. So really where we're at right now is like upfront due diligence. They're also great reads late at night compared to environmental rules! They get a little lengthy, I'm going to admit—sometimes hundreds of pages. There's some out on the EQB website so if you're just kind of wondering what an AUAR looks like, you can actually click on some documents that have been done within the state. **[48:28] John (City Administrator):** I just want to share my appreciation for the work that they've been doing so far. I will say there's a lot of stuff also happening behind the scenes as they're preparing for this. This isn't "oh, we got to get to this stage and then we can start work on the next thing." They're very much doing their diligence to be prepared for that and have been responsive to the city in terms of our requests and helping us navigate through this process as well because, for me, I know this is my first experience with an AUAR. So I do want to share my thanks for their team and my consultants as well for helping us with that. In the end, this is really helpful for the city in terms of preparing a site for potential best case/best use development. In the end, we're going to be given a lot of very valuable information on how it's going to impact the city and what we need to do to mitigate those impacts. **[50:01] Ashley Payne:** And I guess one thing I did miss to explain: an AUAR is really valid for only five years. So every five years, the document needs to be updated. So you're looking at what's been completed for development, what's been completed for mitigation, and what's required moving forward. This document isn't just a "one-and-done." Once it's done, it's put on the shelf; it's actually reviewed and updated every five years to keep it a valid document. **[50:48] Mayor:** Anything else from the Council? Planning and Zoning? **[50:48] John (City Administrator):** I just wanted to show everyone that on the City website, a landing page was created for this project. So if you go under the "Community" tab on our website, there's a "Cannon Falls Technology Park" page. On here is where you can find the scoping document. Kristen, I know, is going to be creating a landing page from Tract that will also have some FAQs about data centers, and we'll have a link to that on here as well. So any information that we either present, or updates as things go forward, will be on this page as well. **[51:33] Council Member:** Laura, will this be on like YouTube? Will they be able to watch the work session? **[51:33] Laura (City Staff):** The—I don't know if... are the work sessions televised? Work sessions are not televised. They're recorded, but not... **[51:33] John (City Administrator):** Okay. So that's all I have. **[52:21] Mayor:** All right, thank you. Anything else? Thank you so much. Last chance? Other than that, I'd look for a motion to adjourn. **[52:21] Council Members:** Motion. **[52:21] Mayor:** Motion from Diane, second from Chad. All those in favor? (Council: Aye). Opposed? We're adjourned. Thank you, everybody. Come.
