The Burnsville City Council meeting on June 3, 2025, highlighted significant community engagement and development updates, particularly focusing on the AIM Center and the Pacific Square redevelopment project.

During the meeting, Mayor Elizabeth Kelsey expressed gratitude for the positive feedback received about the AIM Center from local parents attending dance competitions. She emphasized the center's role in the community and encouraged residents to visit the AIM Center's website for upcoming shows, including "Taking It to the Limit," an Eagles tribute, and "Menopause the Musical." Council members echoed the mayor's sentiments, praising the center's contributions to local culture and entertainment.

The council then shifted its focus to the Pacific Square redevelopment project. Deputy Community Development Director Travis Pestido presented a resolution to approve a second amendment to the subgrant agreement with Pacific Square. The city had previously awarded a $1.1 million grant in 2020 for redevelopment efforts, specifically for a food hall project. Pestido explained that the developer requested an extension for project completion, pushing the deadline for interior renovations to December 31, 2025, and for exterior improvements to January 31, 2026. Dakota County had no objections to this extension, and city staff confirmed that building safety personnel were actively involved in the project, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

The council is expected to vote on the resolution in the coming weeks, which will allow the Pacific Square project to continue progressing while maintaining community support and safety standards.
