The motion carried. Lloyd Erbaugh, 17291 Marshfield Lane: Noted the budget has been discussed at multiple meetings. Stated Prior Lake is a growing community adding roads, parks and residents but he believes the council has not been keeping up with basic expenditure levels especially in the staffing area. Thanked the council for approving the Emerald Ash Borer funding. Asked the council to consider additional funding of $45,000 in the IT area to make IT improvements throughout all the city operations where it is needed. MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY THOMPSON TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:41 P.M. The motion carried. Keeney: Stated the levy per household is less than 1.5% increase over the years shown in the Finance Director’s Graphic. Explained the amount is less than the inflation rate over the last ten Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ VOTE Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Thompson Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ VOTE Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Thompson Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ VOTE Hedberg Keeney McGuire Morton Thompson Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Draft 11 28 16 City Council Meeting Minutes 4 years which is extremely low amount of an increase and the city has been as fiscally responsi- ble as we can be. Believed the council has been very conservative. Added he is in favor of the presented numbers. Stated the operating side of things has been cut by keeping the same amount of staff even though the population and number of roadways and another city infrastruc- ture has grown. McGuire: Stated he agrees with Keeney. Thanked staff for keeping the number down and thanked the council for addressing the needs for staff. Morton: Asked Uram for clarification on the reduction MCES value and sewer rate. Uram: Responded the MCES is at 35 cents and the city sewer rate is at 17 cents. Morton: Asked what was the impact to the levy from using some reserves. Uram: Responded that staff modified the revenues and kept the uses of reserves at $50k so the tax levy went from 5.13% to 4.4%. Thompson: Thanked the staff for keeping the budget tight. Noted the sewer rate, water rate and the water quality rate are all increasing. Added the Metropolitan Council rate is increasing and should be passed along to the residents. Stated this makes for a lot of items still increasing for residents. Asked how many years in a row has the water and sewer rates increased and how can we get that under control? Hedberg: Explained the city went 7 or 8 years without any increases but about 5 years ago the council determined that was not a sustainable policy and smaller increases each year is more ideal. Stated the hope was for a couple of large increases over the last couple of years to catch up with growth plus inflation but the city has not caught up yet. Explained the utility funds do not take on any new debt except for special types of assets. Stated the new council could re-evalu- ate this plan to see if this is the right route to continue. Added the city is focusing on the sustain- ability of service and when the roadways are redone, staff are finding more issues which in turn costs more. Noted these are capital expenses that need to be paid for and the council has asked the staff to identify the greatest challenges each year. Believed the council is risking too much and erosion of services is near. Stated he supports this budget and thanked the staff for their work. Added the city has focused on long term sustainability and we have decreased the amount of spending on capital projects. Explained the operating expenditures are small in- creases which falls on city staff and increases the risk of service erosion. Keeney: Stated we heard from the Finance Director about the reserve balances in the water and sewer funds getting down to the bottom of our range that we are comfortable with which is an indication that the revenue is not keeping up with our costs. Explained when he hears some- one says the rates are going up too much his response is we must maintain the sewer and wa- ter systems; so, what could we do to lower the costs of those systems and unless there is a way to do that in hand it is irresponsible of us to not keep up with the maintenance of the systems. Asked Thompson who stated they are too high to give an answer on how to make the costs of maintaining the systems lower. Thompson: Responded the city could look at past projects and think about how we could have downsized the projects and stated the water increases in the last ten years have been signifi- cant. Agreed to keep up with the maintenance of water and sewer but she believes there are projects that could have been done on a smaller scale so the city would not be looking at some of these increases. Hedberg: Noted the council did delay projects and changed some of the projects to keep the costs down. Stated he does not believe any of those projects apply to the sewer and water rates and Thompson’s comparison between the rates and projects do not relate to each other. Ex- plained the city needs to look at acidic soils and the impact it has on water pipes so we need to be more aggressive at changing the long-term costs; the change to the way we are reconstruct- ing streets will help us in the long run. Keeney: Added you can only push the debt out so many years; he believes that paying for these small increasing each year is better than taking on new debt. Hedberg: Added he is not in favor of taking on more debt. Draft 11 28 16 City Council Meeting Minutes 5 Keeney: Asked if there is a specific need that the staff requested for the IT funds? Uram: Responded the consultants that assisted with the crypto-lock virus pointed out updates for software and equipment which should be improved. Suggested that the new council and staff have a work session to discuss the needs; it could be $45,000 or $200,000 he does not have a number. Keeney: Stated the fund amount should not be increased but there may be some flexibility with a budget amendment next year. MOTION BY KEENEY, SECOND BY MORTON DIRECTING STAFF TO PREPARE THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED FOR ADOPTION AT THE DECEMBER 12, 2016 CITY COUNCIL MEETING The motion carried. OLD BUSINESS No Old Business Scheduled NEW BUSINESS 9A Consider Approval of a Report with Respect to Requests by Property Owners to Delay Connection to City Sewer and Water Service as Required by Section 705 of the Prior Lake City Code City Engineer / Inspections Director Poppler presented on this topic dated November 28, 2016 Morton: Stated the city should stick to past practice with differing fees for three months and hookup for six months after that. Asked if the 2016 fees could be grandfathered in since we do not know what 2017 fees will be. Poppler: Responded that in March the council authorized the change in the fee schedule for this project up until September 25, 2016 so the new fees would apply; only two properties have not paid their fees yet. Morton: Asked for confirmation that the hookup is the main focus. Poppler: Answered yes. Morton: Stated a couple of these homes will have long standing issues since one is in foreclo- sure and one homeowner is hospitalized but we have a previous behavior that we should stay consistent with that action. Keeney: Stated the actual connection is extremely high; he is fine with differing the fees but in terms of the actual hookup which is our main interest. Asked if the foreclosure home is occu- pied? Poppler: Responded it is not occupied. Keeney: Stated we give the deferral, a citation is given, there will be some kind of sale for the foreclosure; he imagines at that point it could be worked out. Morton: Asked if it becomes a lien against the property. Schwarzhoff: Answered there is not automatically option to put a lien on the property but there may be an option to have a civil action in court. Added a note can be added to the property and new buyers who normally contact the city to check on a property would find out that way. Keeney: Asked what the process is for a citation and court.

Thompson: Asked for confirmation that this will be the last change. McCabe: Responded yes this will be the maximum with 23 units and 23 boat slips. Morton: Questioned when will the last four units be build. McCabe: Answered the northeast location of the property has building permits and the other two units on the northwest have permits in review but were on hold awaiting this council deci- sion.

Morton: Stated she recalled a concern for staff not having the public hearings in December in handling the plans and specs along with ordering the bids. Poppler: Responded yes we lay out this schedule to get bidding done in Feb/March so the pro- ject can be started in Apr/May. Added if the council delays the public hearing to Jan/Feb staff cannot get started on design which will take a few months which delays bidding and construc- tion. Thompson: Stated the new council could review the video or attend the public hearing. McGuire: Stated he thinks the new council should have an opportunity to weigh in.

Warner: Stated in general people wanted more street lights but no sidewalks; sidewalks are not in the feasibility study. Keeney: Suggested deleting the rest of the road on Cates and putting in a trail instead. Asked if it makes sense to reduce the width. Poppler: Stated this was discussed and this can be determined after the public hearing. Hedberg: Noted Park Ave is a narrow street with curb and gutter; as this street carries more traf- fic he would be in favor to doing a more robust base of the road. Noted this road has no storm wa- ter management infrastructure. Asked if has looked at what could be done for stormwater treat- ment in this area. Poppler: Responded the water flows around the corner and goes into a catch basin but it is something we can look at. Hedberg: Noted he would like to see information for stormwater improvement and for the new council to receive some information on a trail in this area.

Asked if the storm- water and sewer be added then give the street back to the residents. Asked if the city has built a 20’ wide street. Poppler: Responded in 2005 Breezy Point comes to mind, we narrowed the street down to a 20’ wide. Gehler: Stated Grainwood was left at the current width which is below current city standard. Hedberg: Commented having no turn around option is not good for public works and public safety despite the neighborhood preference. McGuire: Stated that road was acquired to do a thorough street and that is what the council should follow through with but the opposition is strong, he supports option three. Hedberg: Asked if the city could do a utility easement only. Schwarzhoff: Stated the city would have to go back and figure out how the road was obtained but we could vacate that portion of the road and maintain a drainage and utility. Keeney: Asked if the city can trade part of it for some of the right-of-way. Schwarzhoff: Stated it goes back to who owned the property before the city acquired the road because if you vacate a road the simplest answer is it goes back to the previous owner. McGuire: Stated he objects to giving the road back or giving back the right-of-way.
