Mayor Droste moved to set the agenda as presented. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: Five. Motion carried. Public Comment Lynette Stauffer, 4012 133 Td Court West, considered the proposed amendments to the massage therapy ordinance a step backwards because it uses vice laws to regulate massage as if it were prostitution. Stauffer noted that massage standards should be set by professionals. Stauffer said she is prepared to get signatures for a petition against placing massage therapy in the adult use ordinance. Karen Gillespie, 2322 Bonaire Path, was trained in massage therapy in the 1980's. She works as a massage therapist in a nearby community at the Center for Balanced Life. Many elderly people are treated there and Gillespie considers herself a caregiver. Gillespie commended Ms. Stauffer for stepping forward to help change the restrictive nature of the City Code for massage. Mayor Droste noted that the City Council is looking closely at all ordinances this summer and will consider these comments.

Temporary 3.2% Liquor License for Softball Tournament Establish Citizen Advisory Committee for Downtown Redevelopment City Administrator Verbrugge reviewed the process used for the Downtown Redevelopment Plan that was prepared by URS in 2002. This was not approved by the past City Council and staff would like to get a broader citizen perspective for it. Staff recommends establishing a committee which will evaluate the draft plan, current market and financial conditions, seek community input and make a recommendation to the Port Authority on a redevelopment framework. The make -up of the committee members was discussed. There would not be a designated term length for this committee since its purpose is expected to be completed by winter 2003. MOTION by Shoe - Corrigan to establish the Downtown Redevelopment Citizen Committee and begin recruitment as designated including public notice for application. Second by Riley. Ayes: Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried. Amendment to City Code 3 -1; Liquor Regulations Police Chief Kalstabakken reported that the legislature has extended bar hours to 2:00 a.m. with city approval. If a city adopts the State Statutes in their City Code this ruling would be included. The Rosemount City Code sets out the hours and days for liquor establishment operation and it would need to be revised if the Council desires to change the closing time. Kalstabakken has spoken to the liquor license holders in Rosemount and most are interested in having the 2:00 a.m. closing, but will probably start with only weekends or Wednesday to Saturday late closings. Council Member Strayton noted that he was in favor of less city regulation and making the amendment follow State Statutes. The second reading of this amendment will be on July 1. Irish Dome L.L.C. Zoning Text Amendment City Planner Pearson reported on the partnership being established between the School District and a domed commercial recreation facility. The proposed location is in the Public and Institutional (P &I) District. The P &I zoning district would need to be amended to include a recreational facility for public use. School age children would be allowed to use the indoor fields for the five -hour school day and evenings and weekend hours would be sold for a profit. The proposed site is on school property, just west of the Community Center. Pearson noted that it is a three -phase process. First, a zoning ordinance amendment would have to be adopted to allow the commercial use. The commercial use would be dependant on a lease or agreement with a governmental or public agency (such as the school district). Second, a conditional use permit would have to be reviewed with site plans, grading, access, fire code, etc. Third, the building permit process would have to be reviewed by city staff. Pearson proposed that one condition for an arena be that it is sited a minimum of 500 feet from any residential district. Pearson also W ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JUNE 17, 2003 requested that the zoning ordinance amendment include a change for cemeteries as a conditional use instead of Planned unit Development as a "housekeeping" item. Council Member Riley asked if the homes in Bards' Crossing would be looking at the "dome." Pearson noted they would be looking over the top of the dome from their elevation. Council Member Strayton pointed out that this allows the process to continue and that they will be looking at funding issues and parking issues later. Pearson noted that parking can be discussed with regard to the Conditional Use Permit. MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY ZONING CODE ORDINANCE B REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS to permit Commercial Recreation in the Public & Institutional District. Second by Shoe- Corrigan. Ayes: DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Certificates for support were issued and the speaker noted local military staff have or will be serving in Bosnia, Kosovo, and other areas. The Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department received recognition for their cooperation in joint use of the building. City Administrator Verbrugge would like to add a special meeting for budget review for 2004. July 9 th is the scheduled Committee of the Whole and July 15 there is no Port Authority meeting needed.
