Minutes of September 29, 1987 Special MeetingROSEMOUNT CJ& PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL MEETW SEPTEMBER 29, 1987 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, September 29, 1987, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with all members present. Mayor Knutson led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Community Development Director Dean Johnson informed Council he had been approached by county staff members about the possibility of scheduling a tour of the processing facilities located in West Germany and Denmark. The tour would allow city and countyofficials an opportunity to review technology not yet available in this country and to be able to tour a facility which would be similiar to the one selected for construction in Dakota County and possibly Rosemount. Due to the complexity of such a project, Johnson felt a tour of such a facility would further educate the council on resource recovery and prepare them for future hearings involving the site and facility selection. Chairman of County Commissioners Steven Loeding stated it has not been determined who will be attending from the county. Loeding added the large dollar investment of this project merited expenditure of funds for such a tour. Council were in unanimous agreement for the European tour but requested the number be minimized to two staff members and one council member. MOTION by Knutson to authorize the attendance of one councilmember and two staff members on the tour of resource recovery facilities in Europe and to authorize the expenditures for this tour from council designated funds.
