VOTE Briggs Braid Burkart Churchill Lake Aye ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ ☒ Nay ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Abstain ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Absent ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ The motion carried. Braid: We work hard to keep debt down even with the road construction. Due to the road Prior Lake growing so quickly in history we seem to monitor this more now than in years past. Reconstruction can be far more expensive than the reclamation that the funds go to. Maintaining the roads now will save the taxpayers money. Increases are not comfortable for anyone, and we understand the im- pact it can have on families, but we are trying to maintain the tax rate and the streets so that we don’t have anymore debt. I will be in support of this. Lake: Second council member Braid, pay as you go instead of encouraging new debt. I will be in support of this. Briggs: Franchise fee was in effect for three years, It contributed 28% of the most recent road work construction. When franchise fees went up it contributes a dollar fifty to the general fund It will remain that price even with inflation. I will be supporting the motion. 09 10 2024 City Council Meeting Minutes B.

Briggs: Township Board did take action…. correct? McCabe: Correct, Township board approved this in August Briggs: No modifications to the agreement? McCabe: Correct. Braid: New agreement is flexible and allows development to occur naturally, also extends water and sewage to homes in the 1900 acres. The previous council invested seven million dollars, and the county has invested 35 million in infrastructure. New agreements protect those investments and protect Prior Lake from state mandated law that would strip local control. Personal congratulations and thank you to City Manager Wedel and Community Development Director McCabe for working through this to get an agreement that works for both Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township. Extend congratulations to the Mayor, Councilors and Spring Lake Township board members. Burkart: Would like to Thank the members of Spring Lake Township that are present tonight and for there efforts. Is in favor of the new agreement. Believes it is a good deal for both parties. We are losing 24-1 and 24-2 be we are gaining a stable agreement that will remove future negations and an annexation with Prior Lakes timeline. Prior Lake also gains rural, industrial and commercial areas for Prior Lake community. The most important the agreements improve our relationship with our neighbor.
