Counties Area, Dakota County area (which includes a portion of Rosemount),
and the Dakota -Scott Counties Area. The administrator reviewed the
timetable for the next steps in the process. Jilk advised within six
months a task force will propose one search area from the three and by
December, 1991, the Metropolitan Council will designate the final search
area. The Metropolitan Airport Commission will then have up to four years
to select a site within the search area. Council discussed what position
and role the City should take in this process and what would be the most
beneficial and responsible to the City. Administrator Jilk advised
administrative staff from several cities in Dakota County are presently
discussing forming a committee to discuss the issues. Jilk suggested it
may be feasible to form citizen committees to discuss and review the issues
involved in the selection process. Following further discussion, Council
concurred to the importance of staying actively involved in the entire
process. See Clerk's File 1990-41.

Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday, December 20,
1990, at 6:45 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

Mayor Napper thanked everyone for coming to the State of the City and Open
House and for joining the City Council and City Staff to hear a report on
the work Council and Staff have done to meet the goals set for the
community for 1990.
Mayor Napper reviewed the process which started approximately two years ago
for gathering input from Rosemount residents. The purpose of the process
was to gather community input as part of the decision making process to
establish goals and objectives for the community. Mayor Napper advised
that in January, 1990, the City Council and City Staff held a work session
for the purpose of utilizing all the input gathered for establishing these
goals and objectives. These thirteen goals were presented to the community
in April, 1990, and subsequent work sessions were held by Council to work
on the goals.
Mayor Napper advised the City Administrator will report the accomplishments
Council and Staff have attained so far and work yet to do. Mayor Napper
further advised the City Council and City Staff will meet in February, 1991
to develop a new set of goals and strategies for the community of which
some will represent those goals of which work still needs to be
accomplished and also new goals. The Mayor encouraged audience members to
participate in discussion, ask questions, provide comments and suggest new
goals for 1991.
Administrator Stephan Jilk presented seven main topics which were
consolidated from the thirteen goals established in 1990. Administrator
Jilk commented on each of the main topics and provided specific examples of
how Council and Staff are addressing theses issues, what accomplishments
have been or are being made, and how these topics affect different aspects
of the community. These seven topics included environment, land use,
economic development, taxes versus service needs, communications, state
legislature and city facilities.
Council received several comments from the audience concerning minimum lot
size, the recent announcement of the three airport search areas, waste
management industry in the City and future retail development.
Administrator Jilk provided an update on the armory and reviewed the plans
of the armory with the audience.
Mayor Napper invited everyone to enjoy some refreshments and to meet with
Council and Staff Members.
