Hedberg: Commented on agenda item 5F stating this is the largest lot in the Deerfield Industrial Park and he is delighted to see there will be development on that parcel. Asked Stephanie Carroll from Versatile Vehicles to come forward to speak about the plans for this lot. Stephanie Carroll, 2056 165th Street NW: Stated her father started Versatile Vehicles from scratch and moved to their current Prior Lake location in 2015. Explained that Prior Lake has been very welcoming with great feedback from the recreational community. Stated Versatile Vehi- cles is looking to expand their business by 33% so they sold the Savage location and purchased the property in the Deerfield Industrial Park. Explained the additional space will provide the needed area for more used vehicles to be reconditioned and resold throughout the Midwest. Added they will be transferring 20 jobs from the Savage location and the added volume should create 10-30 more jobs in the coming years. Hedberg: Noted this location for Versatile Vehicles has a planned building of 58,000 square feet.

PRESENTATIONS No Presentations Scheduled PUBLIC HEARINGS No Public Hearings Scheduled OLD BUSINESS No Old Business Scheduled NEW BUSINESS 9A Consider Approval of a Resolution Supporting a Collaboration with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) for a Joint Water Treatment Plant Public Works / Natural Resources Director Gehler presented on this topic dated July 11, 2016 MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY KEENEY TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 16-090 SUP- PORTING DESIGN OF A JOINT WATER TREATMENT PLANT WITH THE SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX COMMUNITY McGuire: Stated it makes sense to build a joint water treatment plant because the cost would be $29 million if the City did it alone but only $19 million if the City does it with the SMSC. Keeney: Noted historically putting together agreements like this can be a lengthy process and believes that will be more difficult than the water treatment design. Added as the City’s popula- tion and water rates grow, this is something that needs to be addressed. Stated in a work ses- sion there was a consensus that the City will still be drilling City wells so the City still has the ability to determine the City’s destiny. Hedberg: Explained there are four wells that exist in the western part of the City; three drilled by the SMSC and one City well that is not currently connected to a treatment plant but will have the first few hundred feet dug in preparation for the connection this year. Stated those four wells plus two future wells will supply the City with water to meet the capacity of six wells.

Explained a resident suggested adding a roundabout concept to reduce the conflicts for Commerce and Rutgers. Added another option would be to have a one way exiting the business district for traffic to proceed west on County Road 42 or north on Highway 13. McGuire: Stated a resident suggested a right turn in only then a separate one-way exit. Keeney: Suggested staff should request community input and send notifications out to the resi- dents and businesses on the options.
