Redesignation of the General Fund Balance Council member Nelson stated he has concerns about the parking lot at the back of the Rosemount Community Center. His concern is that we might pave the lot, but then develop it later on. Johnson stated the City doesn’t own that particular section; the National Guard does. Therefore, if the city were going to develop they would have to acquire the land. Public Works Director Brotzler stated that the lower level parking lot is the National Guard’s responsibility. With the proposed designation of the fund, we don’t have a proposal yet, just an estimated cost that might be utilized in the future for that purpose. City Administrator Johnson stated the National Guard does have the money available for the project and is waiting for the City to go ahead with the project. Public Works Director Brotzler stated that the project proposal will be at a later date.
