# Rosemount *City in Dakota County, Minnesota, on the southern edge of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.* Rosemount is a city in [[Dakota County, Minnesota]], at the southern fringe of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The 2020 census counted 25,650 residents.[^1] The city is in Minnesota's 2nd congressional district and is part of Independent School District 196.[^2][^3] In the federal record, [[Ahmed Kadar]] of Rosemount was charged in the [[May 21, 2026 Minnesota health-care fraud takedown]] with three counts of health care fraud and two counts of money laundering through [[Ultimate Home Health LLC]]. The Department of Justice's case summaries list approximately $1.4 million in [[Integrated Community Supports]] claims submitted and approximately $1.4 million paid. The charges are allegations.[^4] The takedown charged 15 defendants in matters the Department put at more than $90 million.[^5] An earlier prosecution also reached the city. The U.S. Attorney's September 20, 2022 announcement of charges against 47 defendants in the [[Feeding Our Future]] case listed [[Fartun Jama]] of Rosemount among them.[^6] Rosemount's growth also depends on regional infrastructure. The project's Dakota County claims matrix records that the [[Metropolitan Council (Minnesota)]]'s [[Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant]], built in 1979 and since doubled, carries 24 million gallons a day for Rosemount and neighboring communities.[^7] The matrix pairs the plant entry and the Kadar figures with two March 2025 presidential actions on waste, fraud and abuse.[^8][^7] ## Where Census Bureau figures give the city 35.21 square miles in total: 33.22 square miles of land and 1.99 square miles of water. U.S. Highway 52, Minnesota Highways 3 and 55, and County Road 42 are among its principal roads.[^9] Rosemount belongs to Independent School District 196, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, which also serves [[Apple Valley]] and [[Eagan]]. The district's schools in the city are Emerald Trail, Rosemount and Shannon Park elementary schools, Rosemount Middle School and Rosemount High School. Saint Joseph Catholic School and Rosemount First Baptist School are private, and Dakota County Technical College has its campus in the city.[^3] According to the project's matrix, the Empire plant's service area takes in Apple Valley, [[Elko New Market]], [[Empire Township]], [[Farmington]], Rosemount and part of [[Lakeville]].[^7] ## When European settlement followed the 1851 [[Treaty of Mendota]], under which the land passed to the federal government. William Strathern, from Scotland, filed the area's first land claim in 1853. A year later the [[Dakota County Board of Commissioners]] made Andrew Keegan postmaster, and he gave the post office the name of a town in Ireland. In 1858 Rosemount became one of the county's original 17 townships; many early settlers were Irish Catholics.[^10] Captain William B. Dodd began the Dodd Road from [[Mendota]] to St. Peter in 1853, and the road crossed western Rosemount. In the 1860s the Minnesota Central Railway put up tracks, a station and an elevator just east of the road, and a commercial district formed around them. The village was platted in 1866 and incorporated in 1875. Rich Valley, a separate early settlement, kept a post office from 1858 to 1935.[^10] During the Second World War, the Gopher Ordnance Works produced smokeless powder for rifles and cannon at Rosemount. In 1947 the [[University of Minnesota]] took over part of the site for agricultural research. That land was later named UMore Park, or the Rosemount Research and Outreach Center.[^10] Dated entries in the Minnesota record: - 1979: the Empire plant was built, according to the project's matrix.[^7] - September 20, 2022: the U.S. Attorney announced charges against 47 Feeding Our Future defendants, among them Fartun Jama of Rosemount.[^6] - February 1, 2024: the Legislature's [[Metropolitan Governance Task Force]] issued its final report.[^11] - June 7, 2024: five defendants were found guilty at the first Feeding Our Future trial.[^12] - June 6, 2025: [[Dorothy Jean Moore]] of Apple Valley was charged as the 72nd Feeding Our Future defendant.[^13] - May 21, 2026: the Minnesota health-care fraud takedown was announced, including the charges against Kadar.[^5][^4] - May 22, 2026: [[Aimee Bock]] of Apple Valley was sentenced to 500 months.[^14] - July 16, 2026: [[Abdikerm Eidleh]] of Burnsville was transferred from Somalia to Minnesota to face 31 charges.[^15] ## Who At the Wikipedia revision cited, Rosemount's officeholders were: - U.S. Representative [[Angie Craig]] (Democrat) - State Representative [[John Huot]] (Democrat) - State Senator [[Erin Maye Quade]] (Democrat) - County Commissioners Joe Atkins (District 4) and Chris Gerlach (District 7, Republican) - Mayor Jeffery D. Weisensel - City Administrator Logan Martin[^2] The city's listed notable people include [[Pierce Butler (judge)]], an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and Kirk Cousins, an NFL quarterback.[^16] Two Rosemount residents appear in federal filings described in the pack. Ahmed Kadar was charged on May 21, 2026, and the pack shows no disposition as of the source date.[^4] Fartun Jama was named in the September 20, 2022 charges, and the pack does not show the disposition of her case.[^6] ## What The Department's case summaries describe the Kadar matter as health care fraud and money laundering charges involving Ultimate Home Health LLC and Integrated Community Supports claims. These are allegations that a court has not adjudicated.[^4] The Department announced the matter as one of 15 cases in the takedown.[^5] The Feeding Our Future prosecution, in which a Rosemount address was charged in 2022, continued through 2026: - June 7, 2024: five defendants were found guilty at the first trial.[^12] - June 6, 2025: the 72nd defendant was charged.[^13] - May 22, 2026: the Department announced Bock's 500-month sentence.[^14] - July 16, 2026: the Department announced Eidleh's transfer from Somalia to face charges.[^15] The Metropolitan Council publishes Livable Communities Act affordable-housing goals and a 2021–30 goals methodology for its member cities.[^17][^18] HomeLine, a tenant organization, analyzed the Council's Livable Communities Act data in *A Vision for the Next Decade*. That report lists a figure of 923 for Rosemount but gives no completion rate for the city. For neighboring cities it reports completion against their goals: 20.8 percent of Apple Valley's 5,046 units, 29.1 percent of Lakeville's 5,227 units, and 92.5 percent of Burnsville's 917-unit goal.[^19] The Legislature's Metropolitan Governance Task Force, which reviewed the Council's governance, delivered its final report on February 1, 2024.[^11] ## How much - **Kadar matter:** approximately $1.4 million in Integrated Community Supports claims submitted and approximately $1.4 million paid, as alleged; the two figures are the same.[^4] - **May 21, 2026 takedown:** more than $90 million across the 15 cases, as stated by the Department.[^5] - **Feeding Our Future:** the 2022 announcement put the case at $250 million.[^6] - **Empire plant:** 24 million gallons a day, according to the project's matrix.[^7] ## How many Rosemount had 25,650 residents in 2020, up from 21,874 in 2010. The 2020 median age was 37.8 years, and 93.1 percent of residents lived in urban areas. The city had 8,931 households, 41.9 percent of them with children under 18, and 9,138 housing units, 2.3 percent of them vacant.[^20] Federal case counts in the record: - 15 defendants in the May 2026 takedown.[^5] - 47 Feeding Our Future defendants in the September 2022 announcement.[^6] - Five defendants convicted at the first Feeding Our Future trial.[^12] - 72 Feeding Our Future defendants charged as of June 6, 2025.[^13] - 31 charges against Eidleh.[^15] ## In the at-issue record The project's matrix sets the Kadar figures, approximately $1.4 million submitted and approximately $1.4 million paid, beside a March 2025 presidential action on protecting federal payments against fraud, waste and abuse.[^4][^8] The matrix itself states that the charges are allegations.[^4] The record shows that the alleged submitted and paid amounts are equal. It does not establish how the claims were reviewed before payment.[^4] A second pair sets the Metropolitan Council's Empire plant beside a March 2025 presidential action on eliminating information silos.[^7] The matrix records that the plant is owned by an appointed regional body and that it carries the wastewater of southern Dakota County's growing communities, Rosemount among them.[^7] ## Notes [^1]: Wikipedia contributors, *Rosemount, Minnesota* (rev. 1377042809, retrieved Oct. 27, 2026;
