A. 2017 EDA Goals
Commissioners reviewed the adopted 2017 EDA Goals, which included:
1. Continue to guide the Economic Development Advisory Committee and support the Technology Vil-
lage Board of Directors as they implement the recommendations of the Technology Village program
analysis and expansion plans, including expansion opportunities within Scott County.
2. Establish a task force of downtown residents and businesses to develop an integrated road network
plan that supports future traffic volumes, a downtown vision, and a targeted redevelopment plan.
3. Establish a process and plan to target resources to economic opportunities that provide significant
benefits to Prior Lake, including those that may include property acquisition and direct support to
commercial and industrial development.
Commissioners discussed potential amendments to the EDA goals, additional initiatives or areas of focus
for the commission in 2017.
EDA Members: did not propose revisions to goal number one. Goal number one will remain as follows:
2
➢ Continue to guide the Economic Development Advisory Committee and support the Technology Vil-
lage Board of Directors as they implement the recommendations of the Technology Village program
analysis and expansion plans, including expansion opportunities within Scott County.
EDA Members: felt the City Council and Scott County Board have assumed the full responsibility related
to the downtown road network plan and the EDA role identified in goal number two no longer applies.
EDA members did express a strong desire to remain involved in the road network planning in a supporting
role as any decision on alignment will have an economic development impact. The EDA wishes to pro-
vide a separate and distinct voice in downtown discussion through ongoing recommendations/input for
each of the future road network alternatives. Goal number two was revised as follows:
➢ Make recommendations and provide strong input to the Prior Lake City Council and Scott County
Board of Commissioners related to proposed improvements to the Downtown road network, specifi-
cally the CH21/Hwy 13 intersection, as it relates to potential impacts or benefits on economic devel-
opment and redevelopment activities.
EDA Members: reviewed goal number three and discussed the establishment of an inventory of vacant
commercial and industrial property as well as strategic properties the city may wish to purch ase within
the five Economic Development Areas identified by the EDAC.
Braid: commented that a map of city-owned downtown properties would be beneficial and requested
information related to the vision for the future use of these properties.
EDA Members: revised goal number three as follows:
➢ Establish a process and plan to target resources for economic opportunities that provide significant
benefits to Prior Lake, including those that may include property acquisition and direct support to
commercial and industrial development. Provide a graphic showing the city owned properties and
their usefulness for economic development and redevelopment activities and identify additional prop-
erties for strategic acquisition within the five commercial areas identified by the EDAC.
EDA Members: identified a new goal related to collaboration with the First Stop Shop in attracting com-
mercial development to Prior Lake. The goal is as follows:
➢ Conduct a meeting or meetings with the Scott County CDA First Stop Shop for the purpose of iden-
tifying reciprocal goals. Conduct an annual meeting with FSS, the Prior Lake City Council and Plan-
ning Commission.
MOTION BY BRIGGS, SECONDED BY BRAID TO revise the goal language as discussed and present
the revised goals to the City Council, to be discussed as an agenda item during the joint EDA/City Council
meeting on May 22, 2017. Ayes by Chromy, Sheehan-Kerber, Briggs and Braid. The motion carried 4-
0.
B. Joint EDA / City Council Meeting
EDA Members: discussed potential discussion topics for the joint EDA/City Council meeting on May 22,
2017.
EDA Members: felt the primary purpose of the meeting should be to review the incentives policy to un-
derstand what incentives are available, to provide a better understanding of the benefits of the incentive
3
programs, and reach a philosophic agreement on which incentive programs should be used and on what
types of projects.
EDA Members: identified additional agenda items, including: review the revised 2017 EDA goals, discuss
the Technology Village Business Accelerator program, and ‘Other Business’ the commissioners or coun-
cil members wish to discuss.
MOTION BY BRIGGS, SECONDED BY SHEEHAN-KERBER to approve the agenda topics as proposed
for the May 22, 2017 joint EDA/City Council meeting. Ayes by Chromy, Sheehan-Kerber, Briggs and
Braid. The motion carried 4-0.
C. Joint EDA / Planning Commission Meeting
EDA Members: discussed potential discussion topics for a joint EDA / Planning Commission meeting.
EDA members supported a discussion related to the commercial and industrial land designated in the
Comprehensive Plan, vvariances or other accommodations for commercial p rojects, types of commer-
cial/industrial development that should be encouraged or discouraged and how, city-owned land and its
purpose and availability of vacant commercial and industrial land vs. demand.
City Staff: has proposed a joint meeting with the Planning Commission on June 19, 2017 at 5 p.m. The
agenda items will be finalized at a future EDA meeting.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Technology Village Update – Business Challenge
Patrick Stroh: who is a member of the Technology Village Board of Directors presented information re-
lated to the Fast-Track Business Challenge, which is a Technology Village/Scott County CDA sponsored
event that is intended to recognize and support emerging businesses in Scott County.
EDA Members: supported the idea of the competition and discussed the donated professional services
and prizes to be awarded to the event winners.
EDA Members: recommended the Technology Village be added as a topic to the May 22, 2017 joint
EDA/City Council work session agenda to discuss what the program set out to achieve, what has it
achieved, and what will it achieve in the future.
B. Technology Village Phase II.4 Business Plan

motion carried 4-0.

A. Appointment of Assistant Treasurer
EDA Members: discussed assigning another staff or commissioner to the position of Assistant Treasurer,
which was vacated when Community & Economic Development Director Rogness left his position with
the City of Prior Lake.
EDA Members: did not feel the position of Assistant Treasurer was necessary and supported striking that
position from the EDA Bylaws.
4

the position of Assistant Treasurer.
MOTION BY BRIGGS, SECONDED BY SHEENAN-KERBER TO recommend the Bylaw Committee re-

to the second Monday of each month.
