DISCUSSION
2.A. Goals Review
City Administrator Verbrugge provided a summary of the City Council goals as discussed on
January 25 and 26. He requested that the City Council provide feedback on the goals as
outlined in his memo.
Council Member Sterner stated he thought more emphasis should be placed not only on
commercial development but light industrial and Business Park uses.
Mayor Droste stated it should be decided how the City will partner with the senior group.
He wanted to think of all seniors in Rosemount as a whole and not just growing the
membership with the current senior group. Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned
what types of amenities could be provided to the seniors and suggested having equipment in
the parks that was compatible for senior use. Council Member Sterner suggested setting up
a task force to work with the seniors.
Mr. Verbrugge stated the formal goals and work plan for 2008 would be adopted at a March
meeting. He also suggested doing quarterly evaluations to determine if the goals were being
obtained.
UPDATES
Assistant City Administrator Foster stated that the Leprechaun Days Committee was
requesting that the City pay for the fireworks display so other money could be used towards
booking larger bands. In addition, the fireworks display will be larger this year.
The City Council supported funding the fireworks display. Ms. Foster questioned if the City
Council would like the horse and carriage rides on the local streets or Koch trail. The
Council Members favored using the streets instead of trails.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan provided a recap of the library's design committee meeting.
