CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 27, 2023
1. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Briggs called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present were Councilors Braid, Burkart,
Churchill and Lake. Absent: None. Also in attendance was City Manager Wedel, City Attorney
Kendall, Police Chief Duggan, Planner Matzke and City Clerk Simon.
3. PUBLIC FORUM
Dean Swanson, 14080 Hidden View Road: Reviewing the agenda and did not see any new infor-
mation regarding the County Road 42 re-entry house, and there continues to be some questions.
Is there any official response to the memorandum of understanding from Scott County based upon
the letter that Prior Lake sent them regarding the concessions on the reentry house? Also has there
been any discussions on Police visibility in this area. Currently we don’t see much of any police
traffic as its not needed. As an update, the first house in the area has gone up for sale, so the fear
and stress continues regarding this house.
Wedel: The city council did provide a formal response to the county based off their last letter. Verbal
discussions and agreements have been made in regard to working on a memorandum of under-
standing together, which is currently in the process. At the previous council meeting there was a
request by the citizens on the community committee composition being increased and the county
agreed to go from 2 to 4 neighborhood representatives. Regarding increased police visibility, we
did discuss that the county and law enforcement will be in discussion about surveilling the neigh-
borhood as needed. They were anticipating residents actually living in the house by mid-April. Will
work with the county on law enforcement presence in that area as needed.
