� Councilmember Anderson discussed the fitness equipment purchase for
the Community Center fitness room. Anderson noted that there is a
deficit in the funds at this time and the liability factor should
be clearly defined. Community Center Manager Topitzhofer noted
that the strength building equipment has been used in the past by
the police department but because of space shortages at city hall
had to be stored for the past two years. The expense is for
. aerobic equipment needed for a complete physical workout . Everyone
using the fitness room would require an orientation with the
equipment. Topitzhofer expressed the desire of the Community
Center Commission to have an "up and running" fitness room for the
Grand Opening on June 22, 1994 . This will be a revenue making
addition to the Center and it would benefit that interest to
display all the equipment at the Grand Opening. The Commission is
looking at the fees, a wellness proposal for city staff, and
liabilities.
Because of the time, 8 :00 o' clock, and the need to start the public
hearings, Council tabled the fitness equipment purchase discussion
to continue later in the evening. Council took a two minute break.
The meeting was resumed at 8 : 02 p.m. and Mayor McMenomy reviewed
the public process �or public hearings for the audience.

have not designated ash as hazardous waste, but have labeled it as
"special�' waste material until further information can be
accumulated. Ma.ny other substances are also on this list. There
are specific design standards that must be adhered to specified by
MPCA for storage of ash. Prior to 1992 there were no regulations
regarding ash in Minnesota. This request by U.S.P.C. I is an
ordinance amendment and an amendment to the Interim Use Permit.
Sheila Klassen, 12430 Canada Court, noted that it is unknown
whether ash is hazardous material, if it will produce an odor, or
if it has high levels of lead and mercury. The City Council was
quite careful to exclude ash from the Interim Use Permit two years
ago. The City does receive a financial benefit user fee per ton
and a trust fund has been providing funds to many organization
locally. The MICF would have to build a "P" cell to handle the
ash. This "P° cell design is used for hazardous waste material .
Many residents expressed concerns for any type of hazardous waste
being stored in Rosemount . Also representatives from the Clean
Water Action Alliance, Dakota County Citizens Alternative To ,
Burning, and some employed in the industrial eastern part of
Rosemount made comments against the storage of hazardous waste. '
Many residents and businesses highly supported U.S .P.C. I . request
to store ash and commented at the meeting how much benefit the
Trust Fund has been to many Rosemount organizations.
Councilmember Busho took a firm stand against the U.S.P.C. I.
request to store ash because of the timing and lack of cammunity
trust. The request is just two years into the five year agreement
and Busho felt the issue of ash would be more clearly defined with
a review at the end of the agreement time.

City Administrator Tom Burt explained the concept of Local Effort
Funding in respect to the Rosemount Village Square. The value of
the shopping center needs to be set. Fiscal disparities would
indicate the City would lose some of the new taxes generated.
Dakota County has not approved the City' s request for financing of
road improvements. Without the commitment of the County we are not
able to know how long the taxes would be diverted to pay for the
improvements. Burt recommended that more certain information is
needed before Local Effort Funding take place.

Village Square. The Planning Commission reviewed the final plat
