-CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 25, 2013
AGENDA #: 7A
PREPARED BY: Kelly Meyer, Asst. City Manager
PRESENTED BY: Frank Boyles, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM: PRESENTATION: JANE KANSIER
PRESENTATION: As the Council is aware, Assistant City Manager Jane Kansier has
accepted a new position with the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority. Her
last day is November 27, 2013. Tonight we have the opportunity to wish
her well and recognize her contributions to our Prior Lake community.
Jane started in Prior Lake as Planning Coordinator in June of 1996 after
serving nearly 12 years with the City of Rochester as a Planner. When
Jane took the job in Prior Lake, the population was a little over 13,000
people.
In 2004, Jane was promoted to Planning Director, followed by Building and
Transportation Services Director in 2008, and then Assistant City Manager
in 2011.
Needless to say, Jane has played a lead role in helping to manage the
great growth Prior Lake has experienced since the mid-1990s. During
Jane's tenure we have seen many areas built that we take for granted
today — all of The Wilds subdivisions, Carriage Hills area, Deerfield, Park
Nicollet, Shepherds Path, Jeffers Pond, Crystal Bay, Glynwater, Stemmer,
Ring Road area, Northwood, Maple Glen, Hickory Shores, among many
others.
In addition to managing development, Jane is a talented researcher,
technical writer and project manager. She has played key roles building
the framework under which Prior Lake develops — including authoring
zoning and subdivision ordinances, Comprehensive Plan updates,
numerous PUD and development agreements, and grants.
We wish her the best of luck on the next step in her career. MVTA is lucky
to have her.
Mayor Hedberg will present Jane a plaque in recognition of her
contributions to Prior Lake.
