ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE APRiL 14, 1999 Birger Pond Update Council was updated on the Birger Pond Storm Water project. The major issue remaining with this project is the funding method. Rosemount's share may have to be totally funded from the Storm Water Core and Utility Funds. Diamond Path Trail Council was given an update of the installation of a trail on the east side of the proposed Diamond Path between CSAH 42 and 160th Street. The issue revolves around a number of residents in Rosemount who do not want the trail adjacent to their property. After discussions with the County Staff the design engineer has informed me that there should be 15' from the edge of the trail to the property line. If this area is heavily landscaped and a small berm is constructed it should satisfy the residents and it should not be an issue. East Side Water Studv The Utility Commission passed a motion to recommend that the City Council move forward with the East Side Water System project. The main issue of this proposed project is the funding. The Water Core Fund will be utilized to fund the project,but since there is relatively slow development of this general industrial area the payback to the Water Core Fund will be slow. Staff will be discussing the proj ect with Koch and recommending a funding package in the near future. Dodd Road The roads adjacent to Dodd Road in the Rosemount Hills 3rd Addition is scheduled for an overlay, City Project#306. Residents may be interested to know that Dodd Road is scheduled in the 10-Year C.I.P. to be totally re-constructed in the Year 2006 at a cost of approximately $800,000. The currant overlays are going to cost less than$70,000 and are meant to preserve the existing roadways. 65%of the cost of the overlays are paid from the General Fund. Parks &Recreation Director Profile Council reviewed the proposed profile for the Parks and Recreation director position. City Council made additions,which will be included in the profile. Brockwa�Golf Club Wine License Application Staff informed Council that the owner of Brockway golf course was requesting a liquor license for wine and strong beer.
