Item 6.1. SKB Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Council Member Strayton asked about a time line for the closing of a library site as shown in
Section 2.2 and a contribution to the library site. Attorney LeFevere noted this is a bi- lateral
contract. SKB could negotiate change in the future and the City could amend the Interim Use
Permit. However, LeFevere said the City could also bring a suite forward to compel the trust
board to carry out the Agreement. Strayton noted he was not comfortable leaving this open-
ended. City Administrator Verbrugge noted that the timing is directed by the City's acquisition of
a site for the library. If a site is not found, no contribution will be necessary.
The Memorandum of Understanding also addressed some changes in the SKB Trust Fund as
follows: a.) 50 % of annual revenues to the Trust Fund from SKB operations will be redirected to
the City of Rosemount to be applied toward projects detailed in the City's Capital Improvement
Plan. b.) The SKB Trust Fund will make a one -time donation of $500,000 to the City, following
the transaction closing on the property, to help pay for the cost of land acquisition for a Dakota
County branch library in Rosemount. c.) The City will allow the SKB Trust Fund to increase
annual community distributions based on the Consumer Price Index or percentage population
growth in Rosemount, which ever is greater. These amendments were considered and approved
by the SKB Trust Board.

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 4, 2004
SKB requested relief from the Enhanced End Use Plan that was presented with the March 2003
Interim Use Permit approval. Because of the industrial surroundings, it is unlikely that a true
recreational use is practical there. The standard state_ approved end use plan for cover and
closure was recommended. This does not require any tree plantings. In return, SKB will pay the
City $25,000 annually for the next ten years to fund any landscaping needed upon closure of the
landfill. The closure design, Map Drawing 11, is being revised by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency which is covered in Sections 3. 1.1 and 3.1.4 of the MOU.
SKB Environmental submitted a letter dated May 4, 2004 stating their concurrence with the
terms of the MOU.
MOTION by Riley to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between SKB
Environmental and the City of Rosemount. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: DeBettignies, Shoe
Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: On Sale Liquor License Amendment for CELTS
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing. The Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on
file.
City Clerk Jentink presented the amendment request by owner Brandon Barth to change his on
sale liquor license to a Class A, which is unrestricted as to the percentage of revenues derived
from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages. CELTS currently holds a Class B which
required 51 % food and nonalcoholic beverages. The Class A license fee is $4,500 yearly.
CELTS was also found to meet the location requirements for a Class A establishment. Mr. Barth
plans to expand his business this year and will return for another Public Hearing for that
expansion.
Brandon Barth, 3349 Delaney Circle, Inver Grove Heights, owner of CELTS noted that he will
keep business as usual with the same menu. The expansion will incorporate the north end of the
building into an area for pool tables, darts, video games, and a dance floor. This will give
customers entertainment and encourage them to stay longer. Barth plans on six weeks for
construction and hopes for a July 1 completion date.
Council Member DeBettignies noted he was glad the menu wasn't changing and Council was
encouraged to see a Rosemount business expanding.
Mayor Droste opened the floor to public comment. There was none.
