Explained the climate changes cause natural disasters which affects Prior Lake. Tim Reckmeyer, 15266 Fairway Heights Court NW: Stated he is in favor of the climate risk res- olution because winters are changing, his family’s health is being impacted today and we are so- cializing the costs of pollution due to environmental changes. Larry Muelken, 15013 Green Oaks Trail: Stated he use to burn garbage in his youth here at Prior Lake but that is no longer done; there had to have been an ordinance stopping this action.

Asked if it should be a developer paid cost verses a city paid cost. Wedel: Responded the booster station is part of the overall water system that services the city.
