Regarding the turnback of County Road 42 from the intersection of

City of Rosemount, the County would allow $10,000.00 for Seal- Coating

Mayor Knutson informed the Council that the City Attorney completed
arrangements for the purchase of 44 acres in Carrolls Woods on February

also been alerted to their responsibilities. The Mayor further reported
that the final purchase price of the park property was reduced by
$19,600.00, which constitutes the park land donation which the Carrolls
would be required to donate at such time as they develop and plat
their remaining 411 acres. This figure is equivalent to six acres,
which will be required in accordance with the park land donation
formula for new plats.
The Council was in agreement that the Park and Recreation Director

Don Brown was present to discuss the damaged door on the City
Hall garage. He informed the Council that to replace the two
damaged panels would cost $816.00 plus about $75.00 for painting.
We have insurance that would cover all but $100.00 of this cost.
He further informed the Council that this door is in bad enough
shape that he recommends replacing the entire door with an in-
sulated door. This can be done for $1,876.00 with the insurance
covering $791.00 of the cost. The City then would have to pay
the balance. He also advised the Council that it will take two
weeks to obtain the repair parts and a month to obtain the full
new door.
MOTION by Knutson to purchase the replacement metal covered door
for $1,876.00 installed and also authorize the Clerk to pursue the
reclaim from the Insurance Company with the balance of the cost
to come from the General Government Building (4094) Budget.

City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held May 31, 1977
at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with Councilman
Stauffer absent.
Purpose of the meeting was to review Rosemount's Systems Statement
with the Planner and Engineer and also to set a Public Hearing for
the construction of utility and street improvements in South Rose
Park Addition.
The Clerk informed the Council that they will not be required to
hold the Public Hearing scheduled for easement vacation on Lots 6
and 7, Block 2, Broback 4th Addition. Upon checking the records,
it was determined that there was a mistake made in filing of the
104
abstracts on the property.
The Clerk requested that the Council substitute another Public Hearing
in its place, namely, for consideration of the construction of utility
and street improvements in South Rose Park Addition. This Hearing is
necessary due to the oversizing that will not be directly assessed
against the property.

Dick Muenich and Tom Donahue were present to review and comment on
Rosemount's Systems Statement which was received April 28, 1977.
The Planner informed the Council that if the City wishes to contest
any portion of the Systems Statement, state law provides a formal
reconciliation process and hearing. A request for a hearing should
be made in writing to the Metro Council within 60 days from official
receipt of the Systems Statement along with a description of the
disagreements and proposed amendments. The hearing will then be
arranged with either the Land Use Advisory Committee or the State
Hearing Examiners Office who will resolve any major differences. The
outcome of this hearing will be presented to the Metro Council who
will make final decision on the Systems Statement.
Discussion followed regarding the various areas of the System Statement.
Concensus of the Council was that they would not appeal the System State-
ment.
Councilman Jensen brought up the grading of the 56 Acre Park for
discussion. He informed the Council that Tom Donahue has done some
research regarding the cost of this additional grading which would
allow for the possible construction of another hockey rink in the
future, and gave a more accurate estimate of $2,500 which would include
engineering costs. The Council was in agreement that this item should
be discussed at the next Regular Council Meeting, June 7, 1977.
Councilman Jensen led discussion regarding the possibility of the City
hiring an inhouse Planner or the possibility of sharing a Planner with
another municipality. Further discussion was delayed until the June 7,
1977 Regular Council Meeting.

Mayor Knutson informed the Council that he has directed a letter
to the Mayor and Council of Inver Grove Heights regarding the
possibility of sharing a staff planner with their City who would
primarily assist our consulting planner in assembling data and
developing preliminary studies for the Metropolitan Land Planning
Act and the Comprehensive Critical Rivers. He further reported
that he has not received a response as yet from Inver Grove
Heights.
The Clerk requested that the Council give consideration to changing
the City's fiscal year from the present calendar year we are now
following to September 1 thru August 31 as a new provision of law
states that the County Auditor must have the levy in his office
by October 10th or he will repeat the levy of the previous year.
No Council action was taken. See Clerk's File 1977 -112.

Commerce, EDA, for Federal funding for the construction of a
