Frank Boyles, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM:
PRESENTATION TO RETIRING FINANCE DIRECTOR RALPH
TESCHNER.
PRESENTATION:
Ralph Teschner first began his career with the City of Prior Lake in 1977
when the community had a population of approximately 3900 people. Some
31 years later, now that Prior Lake is 18.3 square miles with a population of
nearly 23,000, Ralph is finally calling it quits.
For those who know Ralph, the one thing that all agree on is that he has
always been dedicated to the people of our community, and to doing what is
right, fair............ and frugal. He has held the public purse strings as if they
were his own. Even though this approach has often made Ralph a
lightening rod over the years, it is clear that the Prior Lake community is
better because of his effort and commitment.
We roasted Ralph earlier this month (in all fairness, he thought it was more
of a barbeque) and went into detail about his contributions, his professional
expertise, and the accomplishments over his career. Tonight, Council
members will have a more formal opportunity to wish him well.
Conclusion
Mayor Haugen is asked to present a plaque on behalf of the City Council
and staff.
The public is welcome to stop by City Hall on Ralph's last day on October
31st to wish him well. Please dress appropriately for the occasion.
