had ideas about how to accomplish the cooperative agreements.
Martini: Replied that both cities and the school were involved with the task force as resources, and that this
presentation would be conducted for the school and Savage in the next 30 days so the solution to that could
be looked at.
Haugen: Noted that all three entities worked to create the task force and similar leadership could create long-
term strategies recognizing that just one of the entities cannot do everything that needs to be done.
Millar: Asked if there is a time table for moving forward.
Boyles: Replied that the PAR task force wanted to get the report out and articulate the rationale, and then
the staff can work to time the projects and determine funding.
Haugen: Noted that some elements of the proposal are clearly the responsibility of Prior Lake, and there is
not a deadline date, but rather a sense of urgency to create a sensible strategy.
Millar: Clarified that a number of the recommendations for facilities would be used by both Prior Lake and
Savage.
Haugen: Confirmed that the community is the school district boundaries so part of that area is in Savage as
well as part of the townships.

meet within 60 days to determine how to get some of these things done.
Erickson: Noted that the CIP is on the agenda and approval of it could be postponed to decide whether or
not some of these proposed items should be added to it.
Millar: Stated he would like to take some action and agreed with LeMair's comment that the Council or a liai-
son should meet with Savage and the School Board to start formulating a plan.
Dornbush: Agreed and stated the Council should not just sit on the report.
Martini: Stated that future presentations will include the invitation to schedule a joint meeting.
LeMair: Congratulated the task force on its approach to include everyone and stated he is an advocate of
what they are trying to accomplish.
Erickson: Complimented the task force on looking for altemative ways of financing through private enterprise
and non-profits. Noted that in the future, Prior Lake may have to coordinate with the Jordan school district
when the proposed annexation area becomes part of the City.
Haugen: Commented that this is an example of good govemance and planning for the future with coopera-
tive efforts between multiple entities to benefit the entire community. Agreed that when the task force com-
pletes all of its presentations, a meeting with the other entities should be arranged. Noted that some of the
recommendations, such as lighting in Ryan Park would not have to wait for coordinated effort.
Martini: Replied that the task force would assist in promoting the recommendations throughout the commu-
nity if the Council so desires.

VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Dornbush, Erickson, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing Staff to Request an Increase in the MSA Maintenance
Dollar Allocation.
Public Works Director Albrecht explained that a portion of the Municipal State Aid funds are allocation for
maintenance of state aid streets. Staff recommends changing the allocation of funds from 25 percent to 32.5
percent to maintenance of local streets rather than construction. The allocation would not impact the amount
of money coming to the City from the State.
Comments:
Millar: Asked about the impact of less funding for construction.
Albrecht: Noted that approximately $500,000 per year is applied to the construction account which can be
used for building new roads or paying back money that was borrowed previously. When the CIP was pro-
jected, this amount was reduced to $450,000 to allow for an additional $50,000 in maintenance funding.
Millar: Will support.
Dornbush: Will support.
LeMair: Asked if more money was being requested from the State.
Albrecht: Replied that the same amount of money would be received from the State, it is only reallocated.
Noted that the State established parameters for spending, but the Council determines this allocation.
LeMair: Will support.
Erickson: Asked about the impact on county road construction and the impact on assessments for county
road projects.
Albrecht: Replied that this money is eligible for use on state aid projects including municipal state aid
streets, county state aid streets or highways. In this case, all county roads proposed for rebuilding in the CIP
are state aid county roads and therefore it is eligible funding for the City. If not using state aid money for
those county roads, the City would have to use general tax dollars. Commented that these funds could be
used to pay for the increased size of a collector street so assessments to citizens would be the same as if re-
constructing a typical street.
Erickson: Asked if it would affect the work and assessments upcoming on the CR 12 project.
Albrecht: Noted that the City planned ahead for the needs of CR 12 and $630,000 is designated for 2010
which will defray some of the cost.
Erickson: Clarified that this reallocation would have no negative affect on anyone's assessment.
Albrecht: Affirmed that this action would impact taxpayer dollars but not assessment dollars.
Haugen: Will support.
