BACKGROUND
National Volunteer Week is April 16 – 22 and each year the City of Rosemount recognizes and thanks the
hardworking and dedicated volunteers who lend their time and expertise.
Our wonderful 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. Our Volunteer Engagement Manager Diane Erickson helps match
people to opportunities in many areas which may 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
Rosemount City Council and staff honored our current volunteers and commissioners at an appreciation
event held here at City Hall before this evening’s meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council proclaim April 16-22 as National Volunteer Week in the City of
