Manual Policy on Frozen Water Service Thawing
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated January

to make a revision.
Braid: Stated this seems straight forward; he is in support of this agenda item.

charged.
Draft 01 16 2018 City Council Meeting Minutes 3

a limited number of visits. Stated there is no charge for the first visit then after that the home-

9B Consider Approval of a Response to the Department of The Interior, Bureau of Indian
Affairs Regarding the Proposed Fee to Trust Applications Known as Mni Yaskapi Makoce
and Wozupi II
City Manager Boyles presented on this agenda report dated January 16, 2018.
Briggs: Asked if Boyles could comment on the adjacencies to other trust land and/or fee land;
asked if these are adjacent properties.
Boyles: Replied yes. Explained the properties are adjacent to existing Shakopee Mdewakanton
Sioux Community.
Braid: Thanked Boyles for the detailed report. Stated the council reviewed this topic at the Work
Session.
MOTION BY MCGUIRE, SECOND BY BRIGGS TO APPROVE A RESPONSE TO THE DE-
PARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS REGARDING THE PRO-
POSED FEE TO TRUST APPLICATIONS KNOWN AS MNI YASKAPI MAKOCE AND WOZUPI II
AS PRESENTED BY STAFF
Braid: Stated the first application seems to be an oversight that was discovered during the water
treatment plant discussion from last year; this land was a previous land swap with Scott County
and the SMSC who had thought it had already been put into trust for the water treatment plant.
Explained it is his understanding the city of Prior Lake has no intentions to adding any type of in-
frastructure to that area; the application really affects Shakopee as far as land mass and infra-
structure. Noted he is likely to have additional comments for other applications in the future.
Thompson: Mentioned this was discussed extensively at the workshop. Stated she is not op-
posed to the first request which is part of the water treatment plant. Noted she is concerned with
the other parcel; accumulating over time to large pieces of land. Commented on the school district
losing money with their tax base.
Draft 01 16 2018 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
Briggs: Stated that there is a motion on the table to send letters to the Bureau of Indian Affairs on
the specifics of the properties as recommended by staff.

9C Consider Approval of a Resolution Relating to a Community Event Scheduled for Feb-
ruary 3, 2018 in Conjunction with the Super Bowl and a Resolution Authorizing a Tempo-
rary Liquor License to the Prior Lake VFW
Mayor Briggs presented on this agenda report dated January 16, 2018.
McGuire: Asked about the location and who was sponsoring these events.
Briggs: Explained Lunds and Byerly’s is working in close association throughout this process;
the actual event will take place inside the Southlake Village Mall open area.
McGuire: Stated there were other businesses involved.
Boyles: Clarified that Minnesota Statues are very careful on public safety, especially when it is
related to liquor, beer and wine. Added we are assuring compliance with Minnesota Statue with
both of these resolutions by one resolution proclaiming this as a community festival with clearly
specifying the event details and another resolution authorizing a temporary liquor license.
