o
Item E. City Manager Boyles explained there was no trade-in on the existing unit.
There were two options; hold the item to the March 3 meeting or a conditional
approval.
Discussion: Councilmember Mader said there was no mention of trade in value
received by the City. He said as a general suggestion this type of equipment has
to be traded in every 5 years. This seems short. He would like to know
background for this type of conclusion, and does not want to endorsee such a
replacement schedule.
City Manager Boyles explained the City is preparing an Equipment Replacement
Matrix which would identify the replacement schedule for equipment. This
agenda item is not intended to establish a replacement policy. It was a budgeted
item for the 97 park and maintenance equipment.

and State Legislative Delegation Regarding a County Legislative Proposal

This item was deferred to the March 3 City Council meeting at the request of
Shakopee and Scott County.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Councilmember Mader questioned the issue of annexation. He is interested in
when the Council will receive recommendation. Secondly, when is the Council
going to receive detailed financial data? The financial issue is the number one
issue.
City Manager Boyles responded the City wanted to talk to the Township Board
and discuss items related to the annexation. The intent is to bring information
back to the City Council within the next 35 to 40 days.
Councilmember Kedrowski said it is more a case of discussion between the
Township and their residents. They need to make internal decisions. There is no
financial burden to the City. As far as financial data, it is very general. Currently,
there are active negotiations and this will be shared with the rest of the group, but
right now it is premature to take a position. Why get people concerned before
trying to come to some resolution?
Councilmember Kedrowski said the another issue for the township is that it has an
election coming up.
City Manager Boyles asked for the financial data needed.
Councilmember Mader said first, there is an obligation to the citizens. There is
already high taxes. What financial impact will annexation have on current
taxpayers? What about five years and then long term cost to present taxpayers?
Councilmember Kedrowski said that is foremost in the discussions. He does not
see an adverse impact. That's why we want an up front manner in dealing with
the residents. Councilmember Kedrowski noted in Scott County News Brief it
CC021897.DOC PAGE 3
says the Govemor is going to reimburse the county for casino expenses. He wants
to make sure the City of Prior Lake has some of the benefits.
City Manager Boyles said to the best of his knowledge negotiations are still
ongoing with the County and the Community.
Councilmember Kedrowski said the position is not to interfere with any action
with the County.
City Manager Boyles said he would look into it.
