CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JUNE 26, 2017
AGENDA #: 6A
PREPARED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES
AGENDA ITEM: PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING KLEIN BANK FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF
THE PRIOR LAKE COMMUNITY AND IDENTITY
DISCUSSION: Introduction
Earlier this year the City Council approved 30 initiatives for city staff to pursue.
One of the initiatives was to contact Klein Bank representatives to determine
whether they would be willing to release the “priorlake.com” domain name. When
the bank was Prior Lake State Bank, they utilized this domain name. Since the
bank changed to Klein Bank the name has been inactive.
At council direction, the staff contacted Klein Bank Prior Lake President Bob
Facente to ask if the domain name would be available to the city. Bob checked
with the Klein Bank Management Team and received authorization to “move” the
domain name to the City of Prior Lake.
The donation of the “priorlake.com” domain name from Klein Bank to the city
immediately helps our communication efforts.
Before, internet users who failed to include “city of” in the city website address
were either directed to Prior Lake State Bank or more recently Klein Bank.
We are very grateful that Klein Bank has made this contribution to their community
to facilitate better communications for our city and its citizens. Our system
numbers suggest that users are already utilizing “priorlake.com” in addition to
“cityofpriorlake.com” to reach us.
Representatives of Klein Bank including Alan and Jeff Klein and Bob Facente will
be present at the meeting. The Mayor will read a proclamation thanking Klein Bank
for their donation to our community and declaring Tuesday, June 27, 2017 as Klein
Bank Day in The City of Prior Lake. There will be an opportunity for photographs
as well.
PROCLAMATION
Declaring Tuesday, June 27, 2017 as Klein Bank Day in Prior Lake
Whereas, Prior Lake State Bank was the community bank in the city for decades and became an outstanding corporate
citizen; and
Whereas, Prior Lake State Bank secured the domain name “priorlake.com” and used it successfully to promote
communication and business within our city; and
Whereas, Klein Bank has now purchased Prior Lake State Bank, changed the name to Klein Bank to reflect its 100-
year heritage and no longer has a need for the domain name “priorlake.com”; and
Whereas, the city has requested and Klein Bank has graciously agreed to transfer the domain name “priorlake.com” to
the City of Prior Lake to facilitate improved community communications in the future.
Now, therefore, I Kirt Briggs, Mayor of the City of Prior Lake do hereby proclaim Tuesday, June 27, 2017 as Klein
Bank Day in the City of Prior Lake,
And Further, do encourage citizens, other community businesses and corporations to join with the city in celebrating
its gratitude to Klein Bank for its generosity, community spirit and support.
Proclaimed this 26th Day of June, 2017.
