Hi everyone, I'm Lee stepping in for Logan with a lowdown on what happened at the city council meeting this week. First up, the city council celebrated the swearing in ceremonies for a police officer and seven firefighters. Officer Khloe von Bank started her career path with Rosemount in 2023 as a community service officer. After passing both her required training and internal field training program with flying colors, Officer Von officially became a solo patrol officer last summer. Next, AJ Larson, Travis Bulki, Chase Hopkins, Ryan Moltrude, Rob McManis, Steve Nhouse, and Alex Whittick were sworn in as the newest batch of Rosemount firefighters. Each of these brave men and women have committed to serving the community with integrity and I encourage you to listen to their stories in the full meeting link. We are grateful for their service and commitment to Rosemount. Next up, a couple of residents stepped to the mic with questions about the gross alpha water notification letter that all utility billing customers were mailed on Friday, February 13th. Drinking water is highly regulated at the state and federal levels. As a city, we are required to test our system on a very strict basis and report results to residents annually. The Minnesota Department of Health notified the city that our average annual level of gross or total alpha radiation had exceeded regulations in one of Rosemount's nine wells. This result initiates a process of requirements that the city will follow as we work through long-term solutions to address the radiation level. Water is a vital resource and the city is committed to providing clean and safe drinking water to all residents. A couple of important things to note. We know that you have concerns on this issue and we want to ensure that you know where to find information. To that end, we've expanded our water quality web page to include historical records as well as tabs of information that highlight the current situation. We will be providing all updates on this page and reminders can be found in all upcoming issues of our city newsletter that is mailed to households quarterly. I encourage you to watch the information shared by our public works director during the city council meeting and we'll link that in the comments for you. Again, all mailings, updates, and video can be found on the project web page, rosemount.gov/waterquality. That's it for the lowdown. We'll see you next time.
