Also an Executive Closed Session was called to follow the last item on agenda regarding ongoing litigation. Klassen reviewed the Gun Ordinance that is in effect now which allows for arms to be fired in residential areas as long as the projectile does not leave the owner's'property. This issue was brought to light by a resident, Mrs. Anderson on 156th Street, who felt threatened by children with a firearm. Council and staff agreed that a stricter law should be made in order to protect residents and give the backing to the police in order for them to enforce this law. See Clerk's File 1992-33. Council directed Police Chief Lyle Knutsen to draft ordinance clarification and determine boundaries for firearm discharge for discussion at the August 18, 1992 City Council meeting. Councilmember Staats offered to assist the Police Chief on this matter. Klassen noted that the bus route to the Burnsville area from Rosemount has been successful and that the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority would like to continue it with some changes to time schedules. In order to receive mid -.day service with our Opt -Out Agency status, the Transit Tax Credit the City now receives would be decreased. This would be approximately a $16,000 increase to residents or about fifty cents a year for an average priced home. This route connects with Route 77C Express which enables Rosemount residents to link up to routes to downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul and the new Mall of America. Senior citizens can use this for doctor appointments in Apple Valley or Burnsville area. This also allows shoppers to come to Rosemount to use services and restaurants. See Clerk's File 1992-33.
