SPECIAL WORK SESSION PROCEEDINGS
MARCH 19, 2013
CALL TO ORDER
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special work session meeting of the Rosemount
City Council was held on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at 9:25p.m. in the Conference Rooms at
City Hall, 2875 145' Street West, Rosemount.
Mayor Droste called the meeting to order with Council Members Weisensel, DeBettignies,
Shoe - Corrigan and Demuth attending. Staff members present included City Administrator
Johnson, Community Development Director Lindquist, Parks and Recreation Director
Schultz and Recording Secretary Hanson.
DISCUSSION
a. Senior Housing Development Discussion
Community Development Director Lindquist provided an overview of the two firms that
have expressed interest in moving forward with the senior housing project, Frisbie
Architects and Stonebridge Companies.
City Administrator Johnson suggested that under the current circumstances, it is probably
better to proceed with Stonebridge due to their familiarity with Rosemount's market.
Council members generally agreed to proceed with Stonebridge.
Council member Shoe - Corrigan expressed her appreciation with the professionalism of
Stonebridge Companies on the Waterford project. Ms. Lindquist added that the
relationship created with Stonebridge on the previous project is important in creating the
confidence to proceed on another project with them.
Ms. Lindquist stated staff will meet with Stonebridge to discuss the City's expectations and
ask them to submit new diagrams. The item will possibly come to the Council at a meeting
next month with a letter of intent.
b. Athletic Fields at Flint Hills
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz provided an overview of the status of athletic fields
on the Flint Hills property and explained alternatives on how to proceed with the project
with respect to soil borings obtained from the site. He stated the options include moving
better quality soil from the north side to the south side, install artificial turf, or install drain
tiles on the fields. Mr. Schulz stated that additional work would put the project over budget
unless the installation of the parking lot was delayed. Council directed staff to further
investigate moving soil from the north side of the lot and postponing the installation of the
parking lot.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the City Council and upon a Motion by
Mayor Droste to adjourn, the meeting was adjourned at 10:20p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kathie Hanson, Recording Secretary
