PUBLIC HEARINGS
7A Public Hearing to Consider Approval of a Resolution Ordering the Improvements for
the 2019 Mill & Overlay Project, City Project #STR19-000001
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated January
22, 2019.
Braid: Noted the city received an email about financial burdens. Asked if there are any pro-
grams available to residents.
Wedel: Responded there is a program available for a property owner who is of a certain age
and income level where the assessment can be deferred in which they should come in to speak
with the city about that.
Burkart: Asked if there is a ranking of the projects for residents in the event their street may not
be completed.
Wedel: Replied the project is budgeted at $700,000 and the project needs to go out for bid at
the highest cost which is $800,000 because you can never add to a project but you can always
shrink the project once the bids come back. Added it is hard to give residents a ranking because
there are different factors involved with which parts of the project would not move forward .
Thompson: Noted the budget is $700,000 and with a feasibility of $800,000. Asked what is the
difference that could be taken out.
Wedel: Responded once they know the dollar amount, the city will determine how to reduce the
scope of the project.
Erickson: Stated the program for seniors is available but they will need to recertify every year.
Asked if there are any homes that will be assessed on private streets.
Wedel: Noted there is one area off Fountain Hills Courts, the townhomes have their own inter-
nal side streets but will be assessed off of Fountain Hills Courts.

Wedel: Explained the assessment is based on units and will be assessed the same $1,266 that
a single family would be assessed; it is based on trips and usage for instance someone who
lives in a townhome drives on the street as much as someone in a single-family home.
Braid: Stated he is comfortable moving forward with an understanding that the project can be
taken down a notch.
Thompson: Asked when this project is going to begin.
Wedel: Responded the plans would be brought back on March 18, 2019 and construction nor-

DRAFT 01 22 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 5
Assistant City Engineer Monserud presented on this agenda report dated January 22, 2019.
Erickson: Asked if there are any utilities buried in this location.
Monserud: Responded there is buried fiber and cable; the city will sit down with the engineers if
this project moves forward.
Briggs: Asked if he knows where the bids will come in at.
Monserud: Responded the city will have a better idea once it is designed; added he is comfort-
able as prices have been good the last few years.
Briggs: Questioned if this bid will go out along with our other projects.
Monserud: Stated it is always a possibility to obtain the same contractor for multiple projects
but since this is only a cement project, the city may not have the contractors who bank on the
water and sewer items in a project.

OLD BUSINESS
8A Consider Approval of a Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding the City's Standard-
ized Construction Contract for the Duluth Avenue Intersection Improvement Project, City
Project TRN15-000003
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated January
22, 2019.
Thompson: Stated she knows how important it is to get this project completed due to the work on
TH13. Asked if there will be an increase in taxes since the bid is over the estimate and is it easy
to get an advancement.
Wedel: Responded last year the city sold bonds for this project and others so the tax levy has al-
ready been bonded for. Explained the city does not have to increase taxes since there were other
projects that came in below cost. Stated it is very easy to request an advancement which can be
done with a resolution.
Burkart: Asked for a historical prospective on the state aid advancement.
Wedel: Explained before he was with the city, the city had taken advances and when he first got
here the city was in the red; over the last two years the city has not used an advancement which
has allowed the city to catch up with a little extra in our account. Added it is typical for cities to
do these advances. Stated a few years ago the state aid was encouraging cities to utilize these
funds.
Erickson: Noticed that the special assessments stayed the same. Asked if a project increased
why did the special assessment not increased.
Wedel: Explained the city needs to have proof how the project will benefit the property.
Erickson: Stated if the city did assess more, it would be up to the property owner to challenge
the special assessment cost.
Wedel: Noted if the resident were to challenge their assessment, the city would not have the
documentation to prove a higher assessment than what the assessor has set.
Erickson: Asked if it would have cost less or more to put a roundabout in verses a traffic signal.
Wedel: Responded he cannot answer that since a roundabout has easement acquisitions which
he does not have the cost of.
Braid: Stated the council and community has spent a lot of time going over this project. Noted it
was smart to put this project off due to the high bids on the last go around since now it came
back lower. Added the city is so far down the road on this project in connection with MnDOT we
need to absorb the additional cost.
Briggs: Believed since the city did not modify the assessments he believes it is a good faith on
the city’s behalf. Asked when did the city advertise for bids on this project.
DRAFT 01 22 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 7
Wedel: Stated we advertised the first three Saturdays in December 2018 and the bid opening
was on January 10, 2019.
Briggs: Noted here we are on January 22, 2019 about 40 days post initial advertisement.
Stated he is in support of this resolution.

8B Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Amend
the City’s Standardized Professional Services Contract with SRF for 2040 Transportation
Plan Update
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated January
22, 2019.
Erickson: Stated the area being talked about is a possible annexation area. Asked when this
area is to be annexed.
Wedel: Explained the annexation agreement has specific dates in areas of the township and the
city is currently working with the township to remove those dates. Added the city learned
through the housing market crash, people are not good at predicting the housing market.
Erickson: Believed the current document reads the soonest annexation would be in 2024 which
already have sewer and water in those areas which would not be affected by this study. Added
we are looking at areas he believed would be annexed around 2028. Explained legislators are
going to look at this to change the policies so that cases like Harstad vs Woodbury would be
null; hopes legislation will occur in the next two years. Asked if we are putting the cart in front of
the horse by doing this study right now.
Briggs: Noted he is support of this agenda item. Explained he has had meetings with state leg-
islators and the League of Minnesota Cities who stated there is no legislative interest in doing
anything on this issue in the near term.
Erickson: Stated he also talked about to legislator who were very receptive towards this; sug-
gested communicating at another time.
Briggs: Encouraged if that is the case, then let’s bring them on the record to get it going. Ad-
dressed the impact to the City of Prior Lake accounts to about $220,000 in fees that will not be
coming to the city in 2019.
Erickson: Noted he understands this but asked if this study will help find a way to get the
money for the projects we are going to lose.
DRAFT 01 22 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 8
Wedel: Stated this study is looking at future improvements and does not believe in an oppor-
tunity to go back and collect fees from developers moving forward on projects in 2019.
Erickson: Stated the legislators he talked to were state senators and legislators.
Briggs: Noted there are some projects that he hopes are addressed before 2030 as there are
signals that are currently not in place and are needed. Explained the city recently annexed
some land in Credit River for the purpose of installing a signal in 2021; added the work on this
study bares fruit much sooner than 2030. Stated if Erickson has commitments from state legisla-
tors he would welcome them.
Schwarzhoff: Noted there are five developments that are currently under way with preliminary
plats approved, the study would not help with those projects but anything new that comes in it
would. Clarified the information on the annexation agreement, the city does not expect anything
to come in immediately but it may whenever a property owner want to develop. Added we could
delay the study but anything that comes in the interim would not be included.
Boyles: Stated we are in the process in updating the comprehensive plan which is done every
ten years. Added we want to do the study to fortify a rational nexus for money we clearly need
to complete this transportation system.
Braid: Asked if this is something that worked with MnDOT or just from SRF.
Wedel: Noted SFR does work with MnDOT and Scott County for future projections.
Thompson: Asked what area are we looking at and are we going from 17,000 to 30,000 or will
it go to 47,000?
Wedel: Responded the study will focus mostly on the annexation area; the cost would be a total
of 47,000.
Briggs: Noted growth should pay for itself and he believes we should not pass costs that are
needed onto existing taxpayers. Stated this study will find a way to get us to a place to ensure
the infrastructure of tomorrow; there is no way to remain an attractive community and carry
those costs; SRF has been approached by other cities for this methodology.
Braid: Echoed Briggs comments and stated it is unfortunate to spend the extra money but we
need to make educated and informed decisions. Added Prior Lake is a great place to live and
growth will continue.

8C Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Enter
into a Construction Cooperative Agreement with Scott County for Cost Sharing of the
CH21 and TH13 Corridor Improvement Project
DRAFT 01 22 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 9
Public Works Director/City Engineer Wedel presented on this agenda report dated January
22, 2019.
Erickson: Commented that he has seen proposals on this project since 2005; 14 years later he
does not fully support the design but will be supporting this project.
Braid: Asked for a feel on the current timeline.
Wedel: Explained the county is wrapping up property acquisitions and the final plan approvals
from MnDOT but right now they are anticipating bidding this project by May with an award in
June and construction starting in July 2019.
Braid: Asked if that was always the case and is the county going to be putting penalties on the
contractor to stay on the project.
Wedel: Noted the project has slid a month or two but since it is federally funded and there are
MnDOT dollars involved you cannot go for bids until you have approved plans and all of the
right-of-way tied up which has caused the slight delay. Noted this project has two phases where
the second phase was to begin in late summer. Added the bid documents will include liquidated
damages if dates are not met.
Briggs: Regarding the cost share agreement, how long have we been working with the county?
Believed this has been going on since summer of 2018.
Wedel: Stated that is correct-since last summer. Added the city reviewed the agreement from
every angle and decided on the old agreement.
Briggs: Asked when the $500,000 gas tax was entered into the conversation from the county.
Wedel: Responded the county first mentioned the gas tax to him a couple months ago.
Briggs: Noted the good faith conversations with the county; the current council and the commu-
nity were concerned on how the Flowers Naturally demolition costs would be reconciled into the
cost share agreement; those words were heard and shows the willingness to work on the agree-
ment together with Scott County. Stated he has anxiety bidding this late if the bid comes in
higher than the estimate.
Wedel: Stated if the bids came back higher, one of the options would be to get an advance on
our state aid funds which we were already thinking of using rather than having a tax levy impact.
Braid: Noted when this first came before the council he was not in favor of this; thanked the
Scott County Commissioners. Stated anything that would keep this project up-to-date he would
be in favor of.
