SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 11, 1992
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
August 11, 1992, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Klassen, McMenomy, Willcox, Staats and Wippermann present. Staff
present were: Aker, Bechtold, Freese, Jilk, Knutsen, May, Sue
Walsh and Wasmund. City Attorney Miles was also present.
City Administrator Jilk advised the purpose of the meeting was to
review the proposed 1993 Budget.
Additions to the agenda were made: Item 2. Gun Ordinance; Item 3.
Route 42E - Minnesota Valley Transit Authority Item 4. Request
for September 15, 1992 Public Hearing on TIF Use for the
Armory/Community Center; and Budget Discussion became Item 5.
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.

IN THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT, understanding that this will adjust the
