The purpose of this presentation is to share with the City Council the progress
that has been made thus far regarding the Prior Lake Community Garden.
In addition, staff would like to acknowledge the generosity of the community
sponsors that have agreed to cover the initial costs associated with the
community garden. These community members include the following:
. The Prior Lake Rotary ($2,000)
. The Prior Lake Lions ($2,000)
. The Prior Lake Optimists ($1,200)
. Collins Chiropractic, P.A. ($500)
. Velishek Auto Sales ($100)
. Prior Lake State Bank ($50)
The Prior Lake Community Garden has also received a great deal of support
from individual citizens, such as Jane Keough, a Prior Lake citizen and
gardener, who spent significant time gauging support for the community
garden and educating others on its value.
City staff has had calls and emails from citizens who have expressed their
interest and support for the community garden, which is scheduled to open on
May 21,2009.
