AGENDA ITEM:
PRESENTATION TO OUTGOING COUNCILMEMBERS BRYAN FLEMING,
JIM PETERSEN AND JOE ZIESKA
PRESENTATION:
A reception is scheduled from 6 - 7 p.m. Monday evening to afford the public
the opportunity to thank Councilmembers Fleming, Petersen and Zieska for
their efforts on behalf of the Prior Lake community.
As part of the regular Council meeting, Mayor Haugen will present the three
councilmembers with Prior Lake plaques. The service period for each
councilmember is as follows:
Bryan Fleming - One year from January 18, 2005, to December 31, 2005.
Jim Petersen - Eight years from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2005.
Joe Zieska - Five years from October 2,2000, to December 31,2005.
A councilmember's legacy is difficult to define precisely. These three
councilmembers, and citizens of our fine community, have worked to
accomplish the following for Prior Lake:
. Budgets over the last four years which result in an average tax increase of
2.7%, which is less than inflation.
. Adoption and annual implementation of the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan.
. Completion of Downtown streetscaping north of CSAH 21.
. Completion of fac;ade improvements for 12 Downtown businesses.
. Completion of annual street reconstruction projects to maintain
infrastructure.
. Initiation of construction of the police station / city hall.
These are but a few examples of the progress these men have forged. For
this and for their service to us and the community we hold so dear, they
deserve our admiration and thanks.
