their 2030 plan. Concluded the annual Prior Lake Association membership meeting will be Thurs-
day, October 11, 2018.
Tom Schutz, 16743 Markley Lake Court SE: Stated he is a member of the Prior Lake Snowmo-
bile Association. Noted the association continues to work hard creating and maintaining 265 miles
of trails in Scott County and 2,100 miles of trails statewide. Believed snowmobiling brings an eco-
nomic boost that most people do not recognize as people come through the area to fuel up and
dine. Stated Prior Lake and the surrounding communities are growing at a rapid rate and the cur-
rent trail system will need to change with the growth. Added to make sure the popularity and eco-
nomic boost stays strong in Prior Lake; the city and the association needs to continue to work to-
gether to keep the trails updated. Passed out an outline agreement and requested the council to
formalize an agreement.
Briggs: Asked when the deadline is.
Schutz: Responded the deadline is October 15, 2018.

9A Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving a Cooperative Agreement Between the
City of Prior Lake and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) for the Wa-
termain Construction Along CR82 for the New Water Treatment Plant
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated October
01, 2018.
Burkart: Asked if there is an idea of savings or how much do we typically pay for this approxi-
mate ½ mile.
Wedel: Stated it is hard to estimate; part of the savings is the hole is dug so putting multiple
pipes in the same hole allows for cost savings and if we came back after the fact digging around
their utilities to lay our utilities would make it much more difficult and expensive.
Burkart: Questioned if the water pipes will eventually go south.
Wedel: Responded yes Stemmer Ridge Road connects to County Road 82 which is already tied
in.
Braid: Noted this project does address concerns of the water quality for well 6 since the water
will now be treated.
Wedel: Stated well 6 has never been able to be connected to our currently water treatment facil-
ity due to its location; it is used during the summer during a peak water demand day without run-
ning it through water treatment; there is not a health issues but there is a taste and smell issue.
Adding with this now being connected to a water treatment plant we can take full use of our well.
Braid: Commented that this water treatment plant as a standalone project was $15 million
which would have had to be bonded but as a partnership with the SMSC it saved us more than
DRAFT 10 01 2018 City Council Meeting Minutes 4
$6 million. Added instead of having to pay for it now, we can phase these costs which saves
money on our current residents by having future residents who use this pay for it as well.
Thompson: Asked if the watermain extension was moved up.
Wedel: Responded this is in our CIP for 2019. Noted the city would not having funding available
until 2019 in which the SMSC does not have any issue caring the costs in 2018.
Thompson: Stated this is being paid for from the trunk water fund.
Briggs: Noted these are hard costs and bids which will not change these numbers.
Wedel: Concluded these are hard costs unless something unexpected comes up in the dig.

Consider Approval of Resolution for a 2019 Road Improvement Project: Ordering the
Preparation of a Feasibility Study for the Fish Point Road (County Road 21 to Fawn
Meadow Curve) Reclamation Project: City Project #TRN19-000002
Thompson: Asked if bonding going to take place in 2020.
Wedel: Responded we will sell the bonds in 2019 but payments will be made in 2020.
Thompson: Stated we are adding $250,000 above our debt in 2020. Asked if this amount is in
our proposed budget.
Wedel: Stated this project has been in our CIP since we discussed our budget back in June, so
the associated debt should be included in our documentation to date.
Thompson: Noted this is increasing our debt by $250,000 in 2020; there are big road projects
in 2019 and 2020. Added she has concerns for debt, bonding and costs for this project.
Boyles: Noted it does increase our debt, but it allows to hit the target of two miles each year.
Explained this project was selected because it has no sewer or water which allows those funds
to rest and recover for future road improvements with sewer and water.
Braid: Stated the two miles makes sense how we are doing two major intersections next year
and this will all be on the south side of town. Requested this as a work session topic to have a
more in-depth conversation.
Wedel: Noted if this will be done at a work session it should be done as soon as we possibly
can in order to get this out for bid.

12A Street Project Update - Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel provided an update.
Briggs: Asked for an update on the four residents that had a sewer issue.
DRAFT 10 01 2018 City Council Meeting Minutes 6
Wedel: Noted he spoke with Hazelton Construction who stated the insurance adjuster has re-
ceived the construction estimates from three of the four who have banned together with one at-
torney and one contractor to repair their homes. Explained the contractor has not received the
list of items that were damaged, so the insurance adjuster cannot make a proposal without this;
the residents were notified again today to get that turned in. Added the stand-alone home owner
is aware he needs to submit that information as well. Concluded from a city perspective, we
hold back 5% retainer on the project to ensure the project is complete to assure that all aspects
of the project have been concluded satisfactorily.
