held on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 4:00 pm at Rosemount City Hall, Council Chambers, 2875
145th Street West.

DISCUSSION
2.a. Public Works/Police Department Campus Project Update
City Administrator Martin introduced the group of representatives present and discussed the overall
process thus far for the development of the Police and Public Works Campus.
The design team presented the building scope, a detailed budget and the different scenarios that are
possible for the project. The team provided a good, better and best option based upon the design
team’s recommendations and in comparison, to other cities of Rosemount’s projected growth.
Councilmembers agreed that the current “good” option would not be a viable option.
The team discussed the significant budget impact that is occurring due to inflation, updated growth
trajectory and the overall economy. Currently, the project is approximately one year out from going
out for bid.
Councilmembers discussed utilizing current space for fleet and questioned what impact that would
have on the budget, what part of the building could be expanded at a later date if the budget doesn’t
allow for the all-in to happen right away and the estimated tax impact the project could have on the
median value home. Councilmember Freske noted to be conscious of a possible school district bond
in the coming years. Staff noted there are a few different financial options that are possible; i.e.
bonds, funding from utility rate model, etc. All of these details will be further investigated by staff
and presented back to council at a later date. Ultimately, direction was given to pursue a “better
plus” option for the building going forward.

Respectfully Submitted,
