The public forum will be no longer than 30 minutes in length and each presenter will have no more than ten (10) minutes to speak. Topics of discussion are restricted to City governmental topics rather than private or political agendas. Topics may be addressed at the public forum that are on the agenda.

Therefore, topics may not be addressed at public forum if: (i) the topic has been the subject of a public hearing before the City Council or any City Advisory Committee and the Council has not taken action on the topic; or (ii) if the topic is the subject of a scheduled or continued public hearing or public information hearing on the current agenda or at a future meeting before the City Council or any City Advisory Committee.During public forum, a member of the public may request that the City Council consider removing an item from the Consent Agenda following the procedure set forth in Section 401.5.

Believed the development was being driven by the Meadowlawn development to the east. Believed the Rolling Oaks Circle property owners will disproportionately bear the enormous cost of the project. Discussed the feasibility report from last fall and the proposal to split the larger parcels into multiple units.

Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay The motion carried. No persons chose to speak on this item. 'SYRGMP(MWGYWWMSR MOTION BY MORTON, SECOND BY SOUKUP, TO APPROVE APPROVING THE 36(-2%2')<<< ORDINANCE AS PROPOSED AND SUMMARY PUBLICATION. Asked if there are current water agreements or if it is something that will come before the Council on 1SVXSR an agreement-by-agreement basis. Advised that the Council will see the costs on an agreement-by-agreement basis as negotiated. )VMGOWSR Asked if this fee structure is a result of the action the Council took encumbering the Trunk fund to /IIRI] perform some of the more difficult infrastructure projects. No, and advised that a fee study would be conducted to further evaluate Trunk fees or other )VMGOWSR development fees. Asked if the construction observation escrow increase has been discussed with the Builders ,IHFIVK Association or other developers. ϰ ϬϰϭϰϭϰŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐDŝŶƵƚĞƐ Advised that over the last 6 years, 4 projects have gone over on the construction observation costs. 4STTPIV There has been feedback that developers would prefer an increase rather than having to secure additional funding mid-project to cover the overages. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECOND BY MCGUIRE TO AMEND THE PROPOSED INCREASE FROM 6% BACK TO 5% IN ORDER THAT ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION CAN BE HAD WITH THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION. Explained that we have heard from two different developers that this is their preference as opposed 4STTPIV to going through the process to acquire funding mid-project. VOTE ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND DIRECTION TO STAFF. Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay The motion carried. VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED. Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay Asked for a clarification on the procedure. Because it would require publishing the Ordinance twice, &S]PIW the Ordinance would not be published until the Council concludes its approval following the public hearing. Explained that if the public hearing is closed, it would need to be re-noticed. The other option is to 6SWS[ continue the public hearing. MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY HEDBERG TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO MAY 12, 2014 TO ADDRESS THE ESCROW PERCENTAGE. Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay The motion carried. 30(&97-2)77 %'SRWMHIV%TTVSZEPSJE6IWSPYXMSR%GGITXMRK&MHWERH%[EVHMRKXLI'MX]vW7XERHEVHM^IH 'SRWXVYGXMSR'SRXVEGXJSVXLI'EVVMEKI,MPPW4EVO[E]'EVVMEKI,MPP6SEHERH'VIWX%ZIRYI 6ILEFMPMXEXMSR4VSNIGX 'MX]4VSNIGX ERH(IXIVQMRI;LEX%HHMXMSREP4YFPMG-RTYXMJ%R] 7LSYPH&I7SPMGMXIHERH,S[ Reviewed the project consistent with the staff report. 4STTPIV MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY MCGUIRE TO APPROVE ACCEPTING BIDS 6)73098-32 AND AWARDING THE CITY’S STANDARDIZED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE CARRIAGE HILLS PARKWAY, CARRIAGE HILL ROAD AND CREST AVENUE REHABILITATION PROJECT (CITY PROJECT #14-002). ϱ ϬϰϭϰϭϰŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐDŝŶƵƚĞƐ Believed it appropriate to talk about the additional public input first. 1G+YMVI Staff was suggesting that since we have gone through the bidding process and have received a ,IHFIVK favorable bid, that we move forward and can still conduct additional public input. Asked how staff envisioned what the compromise might be on the project that will not impact the bid 1SVXSR price. Commented that changes could be made that do not affect bid price if they do not impact the outside 4STTPIV curb line or width of the street, such as an additional striping plan. Similarly, if there is not a median and a different re-striping plan was determined at the park entrance area, the bid would not be significantly impacted. Asked if the median in this section is a pain point for the neighborhood. 1SVXSR Would not suggest removing the median, but the DNR access is a high demand access and boats 4STTPIV with trailers queue on Crest Avenue. The project shortens the availability of left turn room for those queues. As the road gets busier with development to the west, the decision is whether it is even appropriate for queuing and the impediment that creates for higher volume traffic. Some of the residents suggest that without a long queue the traffic will queue on other local streets. There is not a good solution related to that DNR access. The design is not built for the peak but there is 700 feet that will accommodate most weekends. Asked that if we award the bid, and through the process the final configuration affects quantities, can ,IHFIVK that be accomplished by a change order. Yes. 4STTPIV Asked about the impact on available parking. Further asked if the ponding on the west end of /IIRI] Carriage Hills would need to be increased and if the City has the appropriate easements. On-street parking would stay. Related to the ponding, staff is recommending tying into existing 4STTPIV piping so no additional easement is required. Based upon the types of changes that could be contemplated, he is comfortable moving forward with /IIRI] additional input to follow to resolve the outstanding concerns of the neighborhood. Agreed. 1G+YMVI VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION. Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay The motion carried. MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY SOUKUP, DIRECTING STAFF TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING WITH NOTICE TO RESIDENTS PRIOR TO THE APRIL 28, 2014 COUNCIL MEETING AND BRING A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL AT ITS APRIL 28, 2014 MEETING. ϲ ϬϰϭϰϭϰŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐDŝŶƵƚĞƐ Asked that the public hearing opportunity be re-noticed to the neighborhood. 7SYOYT Believed that a public information meeting with the staff is more productive and solution-oriented on a 1SVXSR date other than the Council meeting date. It would be up to staff to bring the solutions back to the City Council. Suggested that the public information meeting be conducted at the work session prior to the meeting. 7SYOYT Asked Tom Schutz if the neighborhood would be receptive to an informational meeting prior to the ,IHFIVK next City Council meeting. Believed an informational meeting best serves addressing the 8SQ7GLYX^ 'EVVMEKI,MPP6SEH  problem. Commented that the meeting could happen next week and the timeline met. 4STTPIV MOTION BY MCGUIRE , SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE A NOTICED, STAFF-CONDUCTED PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING ON APRIL 23: Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Soukup :38) Aye Nay The motion carried. &'SRWMHIV%TTVSZEPSJ6IGSQQIRHEXMSRWJVSQ'SQQYRMX]7EJIX]%HZMWSV]'SQQMXXII6IPEXMRKXS 0MUYSV0MGIRWIW6IKEVHMRK  *MVWX3JJIRWI4VIWYQTXMZI4IREPX]  8VEMRMRKVIUYMVIQIRXWJSV EPPWIPPIVWERH  &EPERGMRKTIREPX]JSVGPIVOEKEMRWXPMGIRWII4IREPX] Discussed the recommendations of the Community Safety Advisory Committee. 3v6SYVOI MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY SOUKUP TO APPROVE RELATING TO LIQUOR 36(-2%2') LICENSES REGARDING: (1) FIRST OFFENSE PRESUMPTIVE PENALTY; (2) TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SELLERS; AND (3) BALANCING PENALTY FOR CLERK AGAINST LICENSEE PENALTY Thanked staff and Community Safety Advisory Committee. Asked for clarification of whether 70% of 7SYOYT all staff being trained means all volunteers or just volunteers serving. Clarified that it would apply to volunteers/employees charged with serving alcohol. There is no way 3v6SYVOI for the Police Department to know if a volunteer/employee has been trained except by asking them upon a compliance check with a failure. Also like the idea of a training DVD that can be distributed to all licensed entities. 7SYOYT Concerned that we are dramatically lowering the penalty for retailers, and whether we are maintaining /IIRI] an effective deterrent especially for larger operations. Suggested that any stay of criminal prosecution for the first offense be related to proof of training. Asked about the presumptive penalty for a second infraction. Agreed with Councilmember Keeney. The second offense is a 6 day suspension. 3v6SYVOI ϳ ϬϰϭϰϭϰŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐDŝŶƵƚĞƐ MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY MORTON, THAT THE STAY FOR FIRST OFFENSE IS CONDITIONED UPON PROOF OF TRAINING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES SERVING LIQUOR.

Further commented that there is still work to do in some ,IHFIVK areas but we are making good progress in terms of number of jobs.

Commented that the number of new businesses is probably under-reported. Believes at some ,IHFIVK point we need to identify a way to measure the number of home-based businesses. Advised staff is looking for ways to get better inventories and not rely on just the state data. 6SKRIWW In terms of priority, the EDA has identified the “targeted areas for development” and Technology ,IHFIVK Village is higher on the list. Believed the increase in investments of time and energy will focus on marketing, and targeted /IIRI] areas for development. Also believed the technology village could expand to include more service businesses. Suggested listing the goals in terms of priority. Asked if the numbers could better show the growth or impact of the new businesses and 7SYOYT technology village since the last review period to assure that EDA metrics are accurate. Commented that he is optimistic about this year with commercial in Eagle Creek Estates, 6SKRIWW Deerfield Industrial Park, and one of the technology village tenants expanding.

Council is not required to comment, but can if they wish. The draft letter is to get the discussion started. Noted Prior Lake is considered an “Emerging Suburban Edge” area on the current Met Council map and many of the comments proposed relate to the categories. Commented that on #4 to be an Emerging Suburban Edge less than 40% of the land is ,IHFIVK developed. That is not true about Prior Lake. We should be treated the same as Shakopee and Savage and understand the implications. Related to #7, Prior Lake should be reduced to 3 rather than 5 units per acre. Believed that comments that take into consideration SMSC holdings should be stressed, and /IIRI] include their long-term intended use. Supports Suburban Edge classification. Commented that related to job and activity centers Scott County is not noted as having any job ,IHFIVK and activity centers, which will partly drive where transportation and transit investments get made.

No specific areas for concern. Discussed how police claims disproportionately affect the rate formula. They are more costly to defend. With respect to worker’s compensation, the City had an unbelievably good rating, but has had two significant claims in 2013 and, while still good, went up Asked about the purpose of equipment breakdown risk insurance. 1SVXSR ϭϬ ϬϰϭϰϭϰŝƚLJŽƵŶĐŝůDĞĞƚŝŶŐDŝŶƵƚĞƐ : Advised that most municipalities have equipment breakdown 'EVP&IRRIXWIR 2SVXLIVR'ETMXEP-RWYVERGI coverage for equipment like high-cost motors for water systems, wells, fire equipment, air condensers for buildings, water surges, lift stations, and so on that if they break can have significant liability exposure. Clarified that accidental doesn’t mean that there was fault contributing to an accident. In insurance 6SWS[ “sudden and accidental” means something unexpected, as opposed to normal or sustained wear.
