History
At the February 2,2004 City Council meeting, staff along with representatives from the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) presented to Council the Fishing in
the Neighborhood (FIN) program proposed for the pond adjacent to Kop Parkway at the
entrance of Lakefront Park.
The Council decided that this l3-acre pond would be an ideal location to stock fish and
provide off shore and pier fishing for our youth. This program would also offer
valuable aquatic educational opportunities for our residents and school age children.
Cu"entCucumsmnces
In order for this program to be successful, a fountain, aerator, ADA accessible
octagonal fishing pier, shoreline fishing blocks and plant materials to restore shoreline
habitat will need to be purchased.
To make certain that this valuable program becomes reality, Norex of Prior Lake
donated $20,000 for the purchase of the materials necessary for the project. The
$20,000 donation was incorporated into the Capital Park Fund until further research and
partnering could be completed between the DNR and the City of Prior Lake.
Issues
Staff is requesting authorization to utilize the funds that have been placed in reserve
through the Norex donation in the C.I.P. as follows:

Otterbine Gemeni lighted fountain $7,364.55
Otterbine high volume aerator $5,098.26
Asphalt path $2,000.00 (estimate)

Plant materials $2,512.19 (estimate)
Total $20,000.00
Note: Per request from Norex, some of the funds allocated for plant materials will be
utilized to enhance the entry monument signs to the Business Office Park.
Conclusion

enhancing the monument signs with plant materials at the Business Office Park.
