DRAFT 12 17 2018 City Council Meeting Minutes 3
McGuire: Thanked everyone. Stated thinking back on people who have influenced him: Wally
Stock, Jack Haugen, Kenneth Hedberg and the current council. Explained he was concerned
that there was a whole new council two years ago but it worked out really well. Added the coun-
cil has shared many views but has come together as a great group. Stated the Lakefront Park
land purchase was a difficult task and County Road 21 was another purchase that has become
one of the busiest thoroughfares.
Briggs: Invited the audience to speak.
Kenneth Hedberg, 6582 Harbor Beach NE: Stated he has known Mike for over 35 years and
when he came onto the council it was like renewing a friendship. Explained he talked McGuire
into running for council and it has been a real honor serving with him.
Jack Haugen, 4824 Adrian Circle SE: Noted it is really interesting for McGuire to have so
much history in the community; it is an art form and not a given. Added McGuire bridged the
past to the current and all he has done is truly recognized.
Bill Rudnicki, Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) Tribal Administrator:
Stated on behalf of the SMSC community he wants to thank McGuire for all of his efforts. Noted
McGuire shared his tribal experiences with him when he first came on board. Wished McGuire
well from the SMSC.
Boyles: Stated he thought something was wrong with Hedberg when he asked McGuire to join
the council being a previous city manager but he could not have been more wrong. Explained
McGuire blended the previous experience of a city manager and being a councilor very well.
Added that McGuire told him that “we are going to miss our periodic informal meetings” and he
is right.
