DISCUSSION: Kathy Nielsen’s last day as the Spring Lake Township Clerk was on
Wednesday, May 17. Kathy has been the clerk for the last 13 years. She
has worked with the City of Prior Lake on numerous projects and works
closely with the city staff and the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District
staff. Kathy was involved with renegotiating the fire contract, assisted with
the flood mitigation study and helped develop the WSUM for Prior Lake
and Spring Lake.
Kathy will still be seen around Scott County since she was hired by SCALE
as their new Project Manager for the 50 x 30 initiative. She has been the
chair of this project since May 2016.
Spring Lake Township’s new clerk is Melissa Hanson. Melissa started at
Spring Lake Township on April 3, 2017. She and her husband Loren and
daughter Brittany have lived on Spring Lake for over 20 years.
Melissa graduated from William Mitchell College of Law. Following
graduation she started work at West Publishing/Thomson Reuters with the
last seven years as Director for the Law School Division.
In addition to her new job as Spring Lake Township Clerk, Melissa recently
started a new business, Minnesota Move Managers helping seniors
downsize and transition into senior communities.
She is looking forward to working closely with the City and the County in
her new role with the Township.
We are confident that the long history of collaboration between the city and
Spring Lake Township will continue to flourish with Melissa’s help.
Welcome Melissa!
