Dover City Council accepts Rochester tax fund money

Posted in Dover Government

The Dover City Council approved the agreement with Rochester to receive a percentage of the Rochester Sales Tax Fund. Dover’s share is approximately $78,000. One possible use discussed for the money is to develop a parking lot for overnight semi parking and for park and ride customers. The council will approve how the money will be used at a later date. The first half of the money will be received in July of this year. The second half will be paid by July of 2014.

Matt Elder and Doug Peterson were sworn in as new council members. Both individuals served on the council previously. Pederson was on the council for 17 years and Elder was on the council for seven years. “It’s a good thing to support the city and get involved,” said Elder.

Committee appointments were decided. Elder will be on the sewer board and a member of the Economic Development Authority (EDA), Peterson was selected as assistant mayor, Aaron Nicklay will remain on the Eyota Ambulance Board and Board of Trustees for the Dover Fire Department and Michelle Danielson will remain on the park board.

The council also discussed the possibility of encouraging the building of a convenience store in Dover. They have looked into it in the past, but the size of the city has been a factor in finding the right company. They will do more research into the project.
