Prior Lake is at 't cris mer- chants are leaving the downtown area. A beautiful down;town area should' be created. Ron Wolftaft commented that this district should not be moved in our homes. The City ; helped move out Red Owl, the bank and the post office and now they want to try and keep everyone ,in;the downtown.area, Why didn't they think of that sooner: Allen Borchardt representing the VFW Club.. He stated the club put in a $20,000 parking lot, however, they don't own it. When a district does come through does the club have to`pay another $20,,000 for parking lots? Councilman Watkins commented that people like the VFW, Dr. Lukk, etc. who have adequate parking provided would not have the same financial' responsibility as some`othelswithin the district. Councilman Bissonett said he is in favor of expenditures for City funds for a downtown plan. -3- r I I` MlNltftt of fM pwowk p of Mo Ville�o Council of the Village of Rrior take is the Ceaetlr of Scott an d ShNo of t l Miaaotole including all eaoaMs audited by mid Council'.

Councilman Thorkeison - am not in favor of doing something if there are not. more positive attitudes it. about The City shouldn't spend any money, 'There are many changes that are going to affect the district. The railroad aband- onment, the County has some interest in that. The park systems want to put in trails. To make a program work, the support of the community is needed. F have received several telephone calls from people with positive comments, ver, we only heard from two tonight.- ' yor Stock - Only two people here tonight are in favor of the pian,.,however, this would not justify the cost of preparing the plan for,the district. i would'like.to see an area developed and concentrated efforts of improving the downtown area so the businesses would stay in the area. As of tonight, 1 feel that we do not have enough, information from the businessmen that are actually going to be effected by the action. 1 do not think the City shouldr , z" spend the money °it takes to prepare a detailed plan. A district is necessary and more comments from the Staff would be welcome. ouncliman Watkins - Without reconstruction and .replanning the downtown area is going to d1minish, Red Owl ' and the bank went out to get property wherezk is available.
