RECOMMENDED ACTION: Presentation of Appreciation
BACKGROUND
National Volunteer Week is April 19 – 25 and each year the City of Rosemount recognizes and thanks the
hardworking and dedicated volunteers who lend their time and expertise.
Our volunteers do all sorts of things within the community to shape a better future for Rosemount. We
rely heavily on these individuals and groups to perform many important tasks that City staff cannot
perform on their own. Some of these areas include:
Police Reserves and Chaplains
Rosemount Fire Explorers
Rosemount Area Seniors Board
Leprechaun Days and the Haunted Woods Trail
Rosemount Area Arts Council
Wetlands and Bluebird Box Monitoring and Maintenance
Adopt-a-Park and Adopt-a-Street
Office Support and Document Scanning
Gardening and Landscape Maintenance
Downtown Task Force
While we typically host a recognition event for these groups in April, we clearly cannot do that due to
COVID-19. We will ensure that an event occurs for these groups when the situation allows.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council proclaim April 19-25 as National Volunteer Week in the City of
Rosemount.
