CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 18, 2011
AGENDA #: 7C
PREPARED BY: Frank Boyles, City Manag
PRESENTED BY: Mike Myser, Mayor
PRESENTATION: It is no secret that very dramatic change has taken place in our economy. These
changes mean that business as usual in both the private and public sector is no
longer acceptable. At Prior Lake, the City Council has encouraged innovation
throughout our organization. For example, employees are encouraged now more
than ever to make innovative suggestions. We are also recognizing departments
who are leading the way at Prior Lake by the number, type and diversity of their
innovations.
In 2010, our Innovation Award goes to the City's Public Works Department for in-
novations in the areas of:
• Snow and Ice Control
• Street Sweeping
• Storm Water Ponding
• Park Irrigation.
The award will be presented by Mayor Myser. Accepting on behalf of the Public
Works Department is Steve Albrecht, Larry Poppler, Ross Bintner, Joe Wiita and
Al Friedges.
Each of these innovations is providing better service at lowers prices to Prior Lake
residents. Taken together, these innovations are expected to lead to better water
quality which is exactly the type of legacy we want to leave to future Prior Lake
residents.
