PUBLIC FORUM
Briggs: Reviewed the process for the public forum and explained that items scheduled for public
hearing or items for which a public hearing has been held but no final action taken, are not eligible
for discussion on the public forum.
Mark Kes, 16961 Willow Lane SW: Stated he originally came on November 26, 2018 discussing
the internet connection in town. Explained he has been a customer of Mediacom and Nuvera but
is not happy with either service. Requested an outcome from the workshop on December 03,
2018 that discussed franchise agreements. Asked what to do now to drive new service into Prior
Lake. Noted he is not alone in this and asked for a resident poll to gather feedback regarding the
internet service in Prior Lake.
Lloyd Erbaugh, 17291 Marchfield Lane: Congratulated Boyles for the work put in for an effec-
tive and exciting Prior Lake. Noted there has been a turnover with the council and leadership
within the city and now we have the opportunity to say thank you to Frank Boyles to this city who
has shared many gifts and his love of Prior Lake. Stated this council has taken bold steps to build
relationships and development with the SMSC; worked hard to learn more about the values, goals
and tribe; all residents should appreciate the dramatic agreement with the SMSC for the water
treatment plant that saves both communities millions of dollars.
Curt Hennes, 17286 Sunset Trail: Noted he was on the PLSLWD board and thanked the local
officials who came to the Lake-Friendly Farm event held last week. Invited others to the PLSLWD
quarterly meetings and to check their website for more information.
Dave Beer, 4439 Coachman Lane: Asked if this is really Frank Boyles last city council meeting
which is a day he thought would never come; thanked Boyles for his service. Noted that Prior
Lake has been a great partner with Scott County.
Boyles: Stated at the work session the city council discussed internet and cable television; there
are things the city can and cannot do with the franchise agreements. Explained staff will receive
input from the providers and bring that back to council for discussion.
Schwarzhoff: Explained this started as a conversation about the internet which expanded to all
five of the cities franchise agreements regarding customer service, underground wire, type of ser-
vice as well as other items. Noted that cable companies have been cooperative in the past and
hope to address resident issues.

Boyles III Day and a plaque recognizing his service.
Mike McGuire, 5070 Condon Street: Stated he had to attend Boyles last meeting and 26 years
is a long time to be a City Manager. Noted the best way to judge a city manager is how the city is
left; Boyles has done a great job.

relationship.

dent, he has known his for a long time. Thanked him for his service and entertainment.
Jack Haugen, 4824 Adrian Circle: Commented that many people do not understand with city
government is that the council is responsible for the policies and the city manager enforces it; the
city manager often takes the blame but it really is the council who makes the decisions. Noted that
Boyles maneuvered well through 26 years with 6 different mayors.
Dave Beer, 4439 Coachman Lane: Thanked Boyles again for his service.

through the different councils and to motivate staff.

can look at all sides of a controversy, showed concern for the staff and had great knowledge of
Prior Lake that will be missed. Stated he has enjoyed the conversations. Concluded Boyles city,
council, staff and community thank you for your sacrifices the last 26 years.
Burkart: Stated he grew up in this community and long before he knew Boyles personally he
knew his name; thanked Boyles for all he has done for the community. Noted the opportunity he
has had working with Boyles and he is a political viper which is a compliment for this community
and Boyles helps shape the community. Stated there is a passing of a generation between Boyles
and councilor McGuire who recently left the council. Stated as Boyles looks forward, there is a lot
left for Boyles to explore and the doors that will open.
Briggs: Stated Boyles changed the course of a city and a county. Noted his relationship with
Boyles has grown so much in the last three years. Noted tonight is Manager Frank Boyles last
City Council meeting on the dais; for twenty-six years, or for almost 600 Council meetings, Boyles
has “set the bar” for what it is to be a City Manager; his commitment to service has extended be-
yond city borders and city manager responsibilities. Added Boyles has overseen the growth of our
city as it more than doubled in size. Stated from day one Boyles accorded full access to infor-
mation and the benefit of the doubt when others made mistakes; stated he has learned that while
there may be disagreement on an approach to a problem, there is no question, Boyles has always
put the city first at the forefront of all that he has done. Noted that on behalf of the city, the city
council, and for him personally, Boyles has done so much, the body of his work here has created
a legacy that will endure for the generations ahead.
DRAFT 02 04 2019 City Council Meeting Minutes 7
Boyles: Noted in 1993 there was a position open and he decided to apply. Thanked everyone
and there is no need for us to thank him. Noted there were three employees who passed away
while employed by the City of Prior Lake and stated the city would not be the same without those
employees. Added he loves to come to work, there are always new things to do and the position
worked well for his personality. Noted there were seven buildings and one of the best park sys-
tems in the area that have gone up since he has been employed here. Added he worked in Rich-
field and Plymouth but Prior Lake has the best level of cooperation and volunteerism. Thanked his
wife for her support, his kids who are inspectors of the community, mayors and city councilors
who have served. Thanked all the advisory committees and volunteers in the community, SCALE,
SMSC and city employees who work all hours of the day. Concluded he is forever in the city’s
debt and thanked the city for letting him serve as the City Manager in a community he fell in love
with many years ago.
