Each year the Rosemount City Council meets in sessions dedicated to discussion of long-term issues of significance to the community and to set a vision. The discussion results in the adoption of explicit goals that guide the work of City staff and the Council itself to prioritize work flow, budgeting decisions, and objectives.
