This symposium will provide an opportunity to participate as a team,to learn how to meet the challenges community policing presents in Rosemount, and to learn about promising practices that are already working. The need for a Chamber representative was mentioned at the Rosemount Chambers of Commerce meeting on September 9th with three respondents: Kay Knutson,Darlene Terry, and Sheila Klassen. After checking their schedules,Darlene Terry, from the Rosemount Chamber and Sheila Klassen, a community representative were available. I would like to recommend Darlene Terry as the representative from the Chamber and Sheila Klassen as a community representative of the City of Rosemount to participate in the MN Community Policing Institute on September 25 - 26. Other"team"players attending are: Tom Burt, Dwayne Kuhns,Kevin Carroll, and myself. Darlene Terry's qualifications include long time business owner with Ace Hardware who supports the Rosemount Chamber and activities, and is a community volunteer. Sheila Klassen is very active with the Rosemount Partnership Program, initiated Teen Night and is seeking funds for the permanent Family Resource Center. She is Coordinator for Violence Prevention Month in October and is encouraging intergenerational dialogue in the community. She is currently a member of the Rosemount Middle Site Council and a member with the Dru Prevention&Intervention Task Force for Rosemount. g Klassen is also a member of the South Metro Gang Youth Violence Prevention Project, a tri-county project for Dakota, Scott, and Carver Counties. As you can see,both have excellent qualifications and the Council Contingency fund has adequate funding available.
