Page 2
4. When an individual's regular employment and current activities appear to cause a conflict of
interest with the business of a City commission or committee for which the individual has
applied, the individual shall divulge such apparent conflict in writing prior to consideration
for appointment. Prior to making an appointment, the City Council shall determine whether
the apparent conflict of interest would preclude the applicant from effectively taking part in
the affairs of the City commission or committee.
5. Anyone already holding an elective county, state, or federal office shall not be eligible to
serve in a regular voting position on any of the City commissions or committees.
6. No permanent full -time or part-time City of Rosemount staff employee shall hold a regular
voting position on any commission or committee except that a staff member may serve as an
ex- officio member.
7. An effort shall be made to have a diversity of professions and occupations represented on all
commissions and committees and, as a general guideline, at no one time should one -third of
any one commission or committee be comprised of individuals of like professions or
occupations. As a general guideline, the members of each commission/ committee should be
comprised of members representing a wide range of civic groups and interests.
8. Attendance at the meetings of these advisory bodies is critical to their effectiveness;
therefore, missing three consecutive meetings or attendance at less than 75% of the meetings
in a six -month period will cause the committee /commission chairman to review the nature of
the absences and, pending the outcome of that review, it may be necessary to forward a
recommendation to the City Council that the member of the committee /commission be
removed for poor attendance. In the event an absence cannot be avoided, commissioners
shall notify the City Gler- Chair or staff liaison in advance.
9. Commissions filled for mid -term vacancies shall complete the year term.
10. Commission/committee members may be removed by the City Council at any time when, in
the judgment of the Council, the public welfare will be promoted by such removal.

Ninety days prior to the expiration of commission terms each year, the Council shall be advised
of the pending vacancies and the attendance record of the individuals whose terms are expiring.
should these individuals be eligible fef r-eappointiment. Should the individuals Mer-it
reappe Upon the decision of Council to reappoint those persons will be contacted to
determine if he /she wishes to seek reappointment. New ., s a be e p b t h e
If there is a vacancy, Council will a6e announce to the general public the vacancies
on the City Commissions at least sixty days prior to the expiration of commission terms each
year and applications will be accepted from all interested citizens of Rosemount.

experience and interest useful for the fulfillment of the Commission's responsibility.

Policy AD -1

A COMMISSION MEMBER'S CODE
As a commission member, I believe that the primary purposes of a commission as advisory
boards to the City Council, are to achieve effective and wise guidance of the City through group
thinking and action, to raise the standards of commission membership and to improve the level
of services to the community which supports it.
I realize that mine is a community trust, that I represent all the people and that I have a duty to
the community as well as to the commission I pledge myself. Therefore, to cultivate an
"educated heart" so that I may be sensitive to my obligations and relationships in this trusteeship,
I subscribe to the code of an ethical person, remembering that ethics refers to what a person is
morally obliged to do or not to do in a given situation.
I believe that commission service can be an expression of democratic citizenship, signifying a
willingness to accept community responsibility and the charge to preserve popular control of
American public services. Respecting the dignity and worth of the individual, I shall base my
relations with people on their qualities as individuals without distinction as to race or creed or
gender or color or economic or social status. I believe that a person's greatest possession, as well
as his/her greatest contribution to society, may lie in the ways in which he /she differs from me,
rather than in the ways in which we are similar. I shall accept these differences and try to build a
useful relationship upon them.
I uphold the principles of my organization, recognizing and assuming my responsibility to
establish and administer the best possible program and policies for my commission. I shall learn
its programs and objectives, give to it a fair share of my time and personal abilities, keep a
community wide perspective knowing that, for sound community service, my commission's work
must be coordinated with the total community.
I promise to be loyal to my own organization and a good neighbor to other agencies. My attitude
shall be one of cooperative open- mindedness and objectivity. In carrying out my assignments, I
shall be professional in realizing that it is not possible to lay down absolute rules for all
situations. I shall be willing to think things through with the other commission members,
weighing alternatives and exercising good judgment in choosing among them.

Commission Policy
ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY
The Port Authority (the "Authority ") is a commission which is appointed by the City council.
The purpose of the Authority is to advise and make recommendations to the City Council
regarding housing, redevelopment and economic development projects and implements those
development projects. The Authority is expected to work closely with the Administrative,
Planning and Finance Departments of the City of Rosemount.
ORGANIZATION
The Authority consists of seven (7) members who are appointed by the City Council. Those
elected to City Council Member positions and mayor will have concurrent terms on the Port
Authority unless they request not to serve due to their own circumstances. The remaining two
positions will be citizens at large as well as any vacancies that need to be filled.
The chairperson is appointed by the City Council. Meetings are held twice a month, the first
being a regular meeting and the second a work session. Special meetings may be called by the
chairperson.
MEMBERS ROLES
The work of the Authority covers a broad range of issues. While many issues must be acted on
quickly, others are very involved project issues and take time to carry on to completion. The
wide variety of issues causes regular attendance and participation by members to be essential for
the completion of necessary task. occasionally, the formation of "task" groups (often an
Authority member and staff members) becomes necessary to look into or work further on more
complex issues. Assignment to these groups is voluntary.
Perhaps the most significant responsibility the members have is to keep an open mind to all
issues. Listening, learning and discussion of issues are important qualities of commissioners.
Decision making should be based on information gathered and what can be seen as working
towards the betterment of the City. Maintaining objectivity in the face of special interest groups
is often difficult, but essential for a balanced approach to economic development. Both long term
objectives and short term benefits should be considered on all issues.
Although the Authority acts as a group, debate and divergent view points among commissioners
are expected and desirable. However, personal viewpoints are not to be represented to outside
organizations /individuals as being of the Authority, the City or and City departments. Special
interests, which may not represent the betterment of the community, must remain separate from
the commissioners' obligations. Conflicts of interest must be avoided and will not be tolerated.
RESPONSIBILITY / AUTHORITY
The Authority has the powers granted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469, et seq., Section
462 and Section 472A.10. This includes all the powers of a housing and redevelopment
authority, an economic development authority and a port authority.
Commission Policy
The Authority is a creation of the City Council with the responsibility of economic development.
The Authority reviews proposed economic development projects, oversees Rosemount
Redevelopment Districts and advises the City Council on, and/or participates in, special
programs such as grants and other funding available to encourage economic development within
the City of Rosemount.
STAFF
The City Administrator acts as the Executive Director of the Authorit The Community
Development Director acts as the Assistant Director of the Authority. The City Planner and
Finance Director also work very closely with the Authority.
The Rosemount City Administrator oversees the day to day and long term operations of the
offices of the City of Rosemount. As this position relates to the Authority he /she is the Executive
Director ( the "Director "). The Director acts as an administrator of the community development
activities, budgets, and as a liaison to the City council for the recommendations made by the
Authority. He /She provides direction and input to the Authority concerning economic
development projects and programs. It is also the Director's responsibility to attend regularly
scheduled and special meetings of the Authority and to assist in the development of meeting
agendas.
The Community Development Director prepares information regarding proposed economic
development for presentation to the Authority. He /She is required to attend all re
scheduled and special meetings of the Authority. The Community Development Director
develops meeting agendas and prepares packet materials for all Authority meetings. The
Community Development Director also performs research for projects and programs brought
before the Authority.

Park Dedication The City has enacted an ordinance under Minnesota laws, which grants a
community the authority to receive land for park purposes from residential developers. This
dedication is set at 4% times the land value times the density of development. In instances in
which suitable land for park purposes is not available or the amount of land is not sufficient to
support a park, a cash dedication is based on the type of land use. The committee annually
reviews the fees for possible adjustment. The cash collected goes into the "park dedication" fund
for purchase and/or development of parks throughout the community.
Comp Plan Required by the Metropolitan Council, the City prepared a "Comprehensive Guide
Plan" for the Rosemount. One segment of the plan includes parks. Neighborhood service areas
were defined to help determine what park needs might be for each portion of the City.
Funding Funding for park development comes from the general taxes and park dedication
fees.
P.U.D. A planned unit development is an agreement between a City and developer;Iand owner
to develop the land with a proposed time frame for development. Included in the agreement
according to a specific criteria are residential densities, parkland and commercial area.
