ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
MAY 7, 2019
Council member Block pulled this item for transparency and clarification. Ms. Block posed two
questions for Director Erikson. The first question, why does the City hire outside engineers when
there are currently two on staff and how do lift stations help with future flooding.
Director Erickson addressed the questions. Erickson said although there are registered engineers on
City staff; outside engineers allow the processes to be more efficient because of their significant
software resources, knowledge and experience. City engineers can then dedicate their time to
administering contracts and working with the City crew, the public, and developers, among many
other tasks. Mr. Erickson then described some of the existing water infrastructure and plans for a lift
station in coordination between the City, MNDOT and developers.
