Council. The public forum will be no longer than 30 minutes in length and each presenter will have no more than five (5)
minutes to speak. Topics of discussion are restricted to City governmental topics rather than private or political agendas.
Topics may be addressed at the public forum that are on the agenda. However, topics that are the subject of a public hearing

AGENDA ITEM: 2027 - 2031 Personnel Plan
BACKGROUND:
Similar to how the City plans its infrastructure, facility and fleet needs through the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP), the personnel plan is designed to address the staffing needs required
to support the City’s anticipated growth and related service demands. This plan projects the
service levels and related staffing needs for the City of Prior Lake through 2031 and will be
revisited annually to adapt to the evolving needs and expectations of the community. Like other
elements adopted as part of the CIP, the Personnel Plan is a planning document that will be
reviewed annually in conjunction with the annual budget process.

2027-2031
2027 – 2031 Personnel Plan / Page 2
INTRODUCTION
Similar to how the City plans its infrastructure and equipment needs through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), this Personnel Plan is designed
to address the staffing needs required to support the anticipated demand for City services as Prior Lake grows. The general fund budget is
dominated by personnel costs (72.2% of the total budget in 2026) which explains why planning for personnel is critical for long-range planning.
This Plan projects the anticipated staffing requirements for the City of Prior Lake by 2031. It will be revisited annually to adapt to the evolving
needs and expectations of the community.
The objectives of the plan include:
• Informing annual and long-range budget discussions and decisions;
• Forecasting future demands for service; and
• Identifying the resources required to perform current service levels in the future.
This five-year document will be incorporated into the City’s long-range financial plan and will be updated each year to inform the annual budget
process. Departments will be responsible for providing the metrics to justify the personnel requests and impact on current service levels during
annual budget deliberations. The decision on how/if the City will fund these positions will occur as part of the annual budgeting process in
conjunction with other budget requests. The City Council will ultimately determine the addition and timing of additional employees through the
adoption of the annual budget.
BACKGROUND
City staff provide essential services to 29,057 residents (2024 Met Council population estimate) over nineteen square miles, not including the
recent annexation agreement with Spring Lake Township. In addition, the residents of Spring Lake Township, the City of Credit River, and the
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) receive public safety services from the City. Prior Lake has grown at a steady pace of about
five hundred residents annually in one of the fastest growing counties in Minnesota. The Metropolitan Council forecasts Prior Lake’s population
will grow to 37,600 residents by 2040.
Cities do not grow solely in terms of population or households as the services -- infrastructure, parks, public safety, and technology, to name a few
– that are required to accommodate such growth must expand as well. These services are supported by municipal employees togethe r with the
equipment, supplies and training necessary to execute their functions
The City of Prior Lake currently operates with 125 employees. The majority (75%) of employees work in Public Works, Police Department, and Fire
Department, most of whom are considered essential employees. The City also hires around fifty seasonal and temporary positions each year and
employs 26 part-time, shift assigned firefighters/EMTs.
2027 – 2031 Personnel Plan / Page 3
PERSONNEL NEEDS THROUGH 2031
Below is an overview of the projected staffing needs to maintain current service levels through 2031. Several factors play into the number of
employees requested in this plan, including the Police Department staffing study completed in 2024, the significant increase in Fire Department
calls as the primary responder for medicals, and the approval of the new orderly annexation area in Spring Lake Township. On the following pages,
each department is profiled with a summary of all current and proposed positions within the department and a rationale for each new FTE request.

ADMINISTRATION
*2027: Administrative/Utility Billing Assistant (1 FTE). Managing the front desk of City Hall and completing City Clerk-related tasks has become
increasingly difficult for the Deputy City Clerk (DCC). First, new election mandates, like the addition of a primary election and expansion of early
voting, have stretched elections management to over six months each election cycle. During elections, the DCC is frequently away from the front
desk for a variety of elections-related reasons. This places the burden of answering the main phone and helping walk-in customers onto other
staff who are then pulled away from their own duties. Second, the nature of the City’s front desk means constant interruption. Many DCC tasks,
such as issuing solicitor permits, drafting minutes, and reviewing data requests, require the DCC’s full attention. Finally, the City needs to update
and implement a formal records management and retention policy (database purging and organization, staff training, ongoing cleanup) to
ensure compliance with state laws. This project and other process improvements, like online licensing and payment, have been put on the back
burner due to time and staffing constraints.
For these reasons and others, we request an Administrative Assistant position in 2027. The primary duties for this position include staffing the
front desk of City Hall, greeting customers, answering phone calls, and routing City information inbox emails as well as providing executive
support to the City Manager, which currently does not exist. In addition, this position will assist Utility Billing (UB) to enhance customer service,
especially for walk-in customers, by looking up account information and processing payments when UB staff are unavailable. The Administrative
Assistant would help prepare and mail letters related to the UB certification process and contact residents who are on the high consumption
report, a task that UB performs only as time allows. At that time, the Administrative Assistant could then direct residents to the My360 portal
and help them set up an account which could increase adoption rates, which would be a new service provided to our residents.
*2028: Communications Specialist/Graphic Designer (.62 FTE). Communicating with the public is a core city service, and as a local government,
we are obligated to provide timely, relevant information to our citizens to ensure transparency and accountability. With only one full-time
communications employee, taking advantage of the multiple mediums to reach a broad spectrum of residents is a challenge. Examples of the
array of options to reach residents include videos, social media content, press releases, news items, website updates, etc. Outreach efforts like
the Citizen Engagement Committee (CEC), the Community Academy, and special events further consume communication resources. Additional
support is needed to help manage these efforts with specific focus on the City’s website. As communication in general moves toward data
visualization, creating graphics that translate City information and data into digestible, quick content helps relay complex information, engage
residents and, ultimately, foster trust. Peer cities’ average 2.5 communications FTEs. If the needs of the City and the capacity of current
employees to meet them support additional hours, this position could move to full-time in 2031.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The department anticipates the retirement of two key staff members in the near future which will require replacement; however, no new
personnel additions are anticipated through 2031. The last position added in Community Development was a full-time Building Inspector in
2021. The new Building Inspector position was necessary due to the increased demand for inspections, plan review, and permit issuance and the
first two years’ salary was partially funded by a Department of Labor and Industry grant. In addition to plan review and assisting customers at
the counter, the city issues over 2,800 building permits and conducts 6,000+ building inspections per year; it is common during the busier times
of year for each inspector to have over twenty inspections on their daily calendar. Code enforcement opens and closes over 500 cases per year
and completes over 1,500 inspections. Current staffing levels should meet the demand for services for the near future.

FINANCE
In late 2025, a new Finance Director was appointed by the City Manager due to the retirement of the City’s previous Director. This appointment
provided an ideal time to assess the Finance Department’s structure, job functions, and needs and resulted in a re-organization of the Department,
including the creation of new positions. The Assistant Finance Director position was eliminated and the duties dispersed to the new positions.
Specifically, the Senior Financial Analyst/Senior Accountant was promoted to the new Accounting Manager position, and the former Accountant
was promoted to the new Finance Supervisor role. The Accounting Manager supervises the Accountant position which allows for the alignment
and oversight of accounting and audit functions. The Finance Supervisor now oversees Utility Billing, the special assessment process, and manages
special projects. This reorganization provided not only opportunities for staff to remain and grow with the City but, also, right-sized the number
of direct reports per supervisor, improved efficiency by streamlining financial processes under subject matter experts, and created more
promotional paths for existing employees.
*2027/2028: On August 22, 2024, the federal government released proposed rules related to the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA). This law
mandates that certain data and financial information provided must be sent in a ‘structured data’ format after the rules are finalized (sometime
in 2026 or thereafter). This unfunded mandate would require extensive staff time, consulting resources and potentially risky updates to
government financial systems. This mandate poses require identical financial reporting taxonomies across all types of public and non-profit entities
with the same technology. Given the wide variety of government and non-profit entities, combining them into a single standardized template has
the potential to lose information and reduce transparency by eliminating detail specific to the unique functions or services that each provide.
Transitioning to or adding new reporting categories would require changes to underlying financial systems. The law does not provide any financial
assistance for transition costs to hire consultants, reconfigure financial systems, or implement new software. If the proposed rules become law,
additional staffing at the Senior Analyst/Senior Accountant level may be required.

FIRE
2026: In 2026, all PLFD paid-on-call (POC), shift-assigned firefighters transitioned to regular part-time employees with the dissolution of the Prior
Lake Volunteer Fire Relief Association. This change means the City will now receive Fire State Aid funding, which previously went to the Relief
Association, to subsidize pension costs. Also in 2026, the hourly wage for part-time firefighters was increased from $17.50/hour to $21.00/hour
to remain competitive with other departments and to recognize the certifications and training of current part-time firefighters. (In 2025, PLFD
started hiring only already state-licensed paid-on-call (POC) firefighters/certified EMTs). PLFD will look to hire additional part-time staff to
supplement the retirements of four POC firefighters because of the Relief Association dissolution.
*2028: Firefighter (6 FTE). In the fall of 2024, the fire department became the primary responder for all medical calls in the fire service area, which
led to a 60% increase in call responses in one year. In 2023, the department responded to 484 EMS calls, and by 2025, that number increased to
1,626 EMS calls. PLFD has taken significant steps to respond to the increase in demand for services by putting a lite rescue vehicle in service, adding
shift assigned part-time firefighters, and separating crews into two vehicles. These changes have made the PLFD’s medical response more efficient
and will allow other apparatus to remain clear to answer additional calls. This model is not a long-term, sustainable, option because we expect
these medical calls along with other fire-related calls and fire prevention duties to increase as our communities grow. The request to add six
additional full-time firefighters (two per shift) will allow PLFD to utilize Fire Station 2 with 24/7 staffing, place two additional apparatus into service,
and provide better area coverage in the City’s growth area. Part-time firefighters will continue to support calls at both stations. At the same time,
PLFD’s non-emergency duties, such as inspections, public education, and pre-planning, will continue uninterrupted as more buildings and
structures are added throughout the service area. PLFD plans to submit a SAFER grant request to facilitate the hiring of additional staff.

POLICE
The Prior Lake Police Department (PLPD) is unique in that it provides services to two communities - Prior Lake and the Shakopee Mdewakanton
Sioux Community (SMSC). PLPD continues to work toward fulfilling consultant staffing recommendations to maintain current service levels and
support staff wellness, including increasing the allocation of personnel for patrol to 22 officers and administrative support. PLPD currently had 19
patrol officers and 6 police officers assigned to special duties (e.g., school liaison, detectives, drug task force). Recognizing the budget impact of
adding positions, the PD proposes to incrementally add these positions over the next few years which is detailed below.
2027 (2), 2029, and 2030: Patrol Officer (4 FTEs). The workload study found that staffing in the Patrol Division is not adequate to provide shift
relief, manage workload volumes and the appropriate geographic distribution of personnel. It is recommended that PLPD should adjust its
deployment of personnel for primary response from 19 to 22 patrol officers. This number is considered the operational minimum and is the
baseline for staffing, not the maximum. The study notes that the addition of four positions represents the full volume of calls for service currently
being handled by PLPD sergeants. In addition, this increase takes into account the ‘non-operational’ (vacancies to ensure staffing at operational
minimal levels) hours for officers who are in training, on leave, injured or otherwise unable to fulfill their duties. The st udy also recommends
adding an additional officer to the investigation unit. Currently, PLPD has three general investigation detectives, and the city would benefit from
the additional capacity. This would allow active cases to be diverted from patrol into investigations and increase the numbers of hours dedic ated
to each case per investigator. Additional considerations include the impact of paid family leave as mandated by the State of MN on staffing
requirements. As of early 2026, PLPD anticipate multiple sworn staff to be taking extended time off, creating vacancies that likely will need to be
filled with overtime to maintain minimum service abilities. Budgetary consideration for this increase in 2027 includes an inc rease of SMSC
contributions of $125k in 2027.
2028: Records Specialist (.38 FTE). With an increase in the number of calls for service, state mandates like the decriminalization of records, and
technological demands, the transition of the current .62 FTE in records would be converted to a 1 FTE.
TBD: Community Service Officer (evaluation). Non-sworn personnel, such as a community service officer (CSO), builds capacity to assist in
functions like records management, evidence support, non-sworn patrol duties, and special details, such as drone operations. Adding an additional
.8 FTE CSO also creates a funnel to identify and train future sworn officers. PLPD previously had two part-time CSO’s and transitioned, but one
position was reclassified into the current investigative aide/evidence technician position. The “hole” created by this move has yet to be filled.
TBD: Administrative Assistant (evaluation). With a total headcount of 42.42 FTEs in 2026, the PLPD currently has no dedicated administrative
personnel. All administrative functions fall under the Support Services Division which is understaffed when considering these admin duties. The
workload study found that the Support Services Supervisor has a workload equivalent to 2 full-time employees, primarily due to administrative
support work. In addition, command staff and investigators provide their own administrative support which takes them away from their primary
duties. The study recommends adding a full-time administrative assistant position to assist with workloads and to support department operations.
An analysis of administrative duties currently being performed by the Support Services Division (e.g., scheduling, answering phones, website
updates, presentations, agenda reports) will help develop the job description and allow support services staff, supervisors, and investigators to
2027 – 2031 Personnel Plan / Page 11
focus on their primary duties. The addition of this position will be evaluated based on the impact the new Administrative Sergeant and Records
Specialist (added in 2026) have on the overall workload.

PUBLIC WORKS
2026: In 2026, the Public Works Department was fully staff for the first time in several years. All vacancies have been filled, including the
Superintendent position, which had been vacant since 2023 due to internal transitions and promotions. New positions, like Facilities Manager
and Parks & Recreation Manager, were created by repurposing existing positions. As a result, Public Works staffing looks stable for the
immediate future. Several long-term employees are due to retire over the next five years which may provide further opportunity to look at the
department’s services, staffing and supervisory needs. Doing this should not require the addition of any new FTEs. One area to monitor is the
impact of the orderly annexation area (OAA) as it develops. Although not shown as part of this five-year plan, additional maintenance positions
could be added depending on the speed of growth in the OAA.
*2031: Facilities Maintenance Worker (1 FTE). As City facilities age, there is more maintenance and upkeep associated with keeping them safe,
pleasant for the public, well-designed and comfortable for employees, and in compliance with OSHA standards. Facilities include City Hall, the
Police Station, two Fire Stations, the Maintenance Center, Water Treatment Plant and well houses/booster stations, Lakefront Pavilion, all parks’
buildings, CDA and rental properties, and the Public Library/Club Prior. To keep up with the demand, an additional Facility Maintenance Worker
position is required and proposed to be added in 2031. This position also will allow the Facility Maintenance Manager to focus on upcoming
large facility projects, like the new Public Works Facility, and other long-term planning rather than day-to-day maintenance issues.

BACKGROUND:
Below is a summary of the payments issued (check, EFT, ACH and wires) for the specified time
period. The detailed claims listing has been provided to the City Council as a separate document

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
General Fund 2026 Summary through March 31
Preliminary financial information reflects expenditures exceeding revenues by $2,117,560; this is
expected since the primary funding source, first half property tax revenue, will be received in June.
General Fund Revenues/Transfers In
General Fund Revenues of $2,481,308 for Q1 represent 10% of the $24,093,139 amended
budget for 2026. The level of revenue (as a percentage of budget) is consistent with 2025.
City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372
Item 5B
Page | 2
Property taxes are received in June, December, and January. Revenue from taxes is recognized
on a cash basis for the General Fund. Therefore, tax revenue will not be reflected in the financial
report until June.
First quarter franchise fees collected in April are not included in this report.
Licenses and permits are 54% of the budget. Single family residential building permit budget for
the year is 50 units and the actual units through the first quarter are 8. The 2026 actuals includes
one multi-unit building, the CORA Apartments, with two permits. The following table provides a
breakdown of the 1/1 – 3/31 activity by year.
Year Single Townhomes Multiple Commercial/Industrial Other Total Change

2023 14 0 0 0 315 329 -44%
2022 39 0 0 0 551 590 2%
The first half payments were received for Municipal State Road and Bridge Aid and the township
fire agreements.
SMSC Police Aid of $381k has been received so far in 2026 which is equal to 25% of the $1.525M
budget for this line item.
Project engineering fees are currently at 25% of its annual budget. The 2026 project admin/eng.
fee is the cost for internal work done on city construction projections. City staff time on the projects
is charged over the life of the project, which is typically three years and includes planning,
construction, and project closeout.
Recreation revenues are consistent with the first quarter of 2025.
Interest earnings are 35% of its budget. The report also reflects a YTD $38k decrease in the fair
value of the securities. This is a paper loss; no actual loss is realized because the city holds the
securities until maturity.
Court fines are at 20% of the budget. The amount of revenue is $22k for the first quarter. The Q1
corresponding expenditure will be paid in April. The revenue received from the State of MN is
paid out to Scott County on a quarterly basis.
Transfers in through Q1 include budgeted operating transfers in of $167,000 from the utility funds.
General Fund Expenditures/Transfers Out
General Fund expenditures of $4,598,867 for Q1 represent 19% of the $24,093,139 amended
budget for 2026. The level of expenditures (as a percentage of budget) is consistent with 2025.
In preparation for this year’s midterm Elections, ballot tabulator cases were purchased.
Item 5B
Page | 3
The annual property assessment contract with Scott County came in earlier than in 2025 (Q1 in
2026, vs. Q2 in 2025), but at a comparable percentage of budget to 2025.
Communications saw a 95% increase in Q1 expenditures compared to 2025. This is primarily due
to a website redesign and hosting contract being awarded and paid in Q1.
Recreation added a full-time staff member in Q2 of 2025 when a part-time staff member retired,
which is the primary cause for the 18% increase in Q1 personnel expenditures compared to Q1
of 2025. Also in Q2 of 2025, Recreation began a new Recreation Management software
subscription. Combined, these two additional expenses account for the 25% increase year-over-
year in Q1 Recreation expenditures.
Community Development filled the open Planner position in 2025. The addition of this full-time
staff member is the primary cause of both the 38% and 30% year-to-year Q1 increases in
personnel expenditures for Community Development and the EDA Fund, respectively.
Similarly, a staff addition for an open position in the Storm Water Utility Fund took place during
2025, resulting in an 83% year-to-year Q1 increase in personnel expenditures.
During Q1 the City is paying an average of $2.25 per gallon for unleaded, and $2.61 per gallon
for diesel. This is a significant savings over the budgeted rates of $3.85 and $3.50, respectively.
Costs such as legal, street, and park maintenance vary by year, depending on the timing and
nature of the work.
Debt Service Funds
Property taxes and special assessments are received in June, December, and January (final tax
settlement). Prepayments have been received for special assessments.
Scheduled bond payments (interest) will be made in June. Other bond payments (principal and
interest) will be due mid-December.
Cable Fund
First quarter franchise fees collected in April have not been included in this report.
Capital Park Fund
We have received dedication fees of $439,750 relating to Cora Apartments and Stone Path.
A payment of $4,508 has been made for TH13 Trail Segment 1 professional services.
Revolving Equipment Fund
Property taxes, the primary funding source, are received in June, December, and January (final
tax settlement). We had unbudgeted sales of property in the amount of $17,111 in the first quarter.
The approved police squads, park trucks, an RTV and pay loader were purchased in the first
quarter of 2026.
Revolving Park Equipment Fund
We received $2,000 from the Mn River Valley Audubon Chapter for the removal of the osprey
nest.
Item 5B
Page | 4
Expenditures of $8,281 have been incurred in the first quarter of 2026 for the Ponds Park
transformer installation.
Facilities Management Fund
Expenditures include the continuation of the bathroom remodel at Fire Station 1. Planned repair
work on City facilities has begun and we will see those expenditures in the coming months.
Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) Fund
Prepayments have been received for special assessments. The Northwoods mill and overlay
project will begin next quarter.
Water Fund
The financial report for the Water Fund reflects one billing cycle. Consumption increased from
2025, and operating revenues are up from the prior year by $24k due to increase in consumption
and fees. Overall water revenues are at 6% of the 2026 budget which is consistent with the first
quarter of 2025.
Operating expenditures increased $34k compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to timing of
expenses. Transfers are in line with the first quarter of 2025. Operating expenditures and transfers
are at 8% of the approved budget.
Sewer Fund
The financial report for the Sewer Fund reflects one billing cycle. Consumption increased from
2025, and operating revenues are up from the prior year by $27k due to increase in consumption
and fees. Overall sewer revenues are at 6% of the 2026 budget which is consistent with the first
quarter of 2025.
Operating expenditures increased $40k compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to timing of
expenses. Transfers are in line with the first quarter of 2025. Operating expenditures and transfers
are at 13% of the approved budget.
Water Quality Fund
The financial report for the Water Quality Fund reflects one billing cycle. Water Quality revenues
are based on flat rates per billing cycle. Revenues are higher than in 2025 due to an increase in
fees and are at 7% of the 2026 budget which is consistent with the first quarter of 2025.
Operating expenditures are in line with the first quarter of 2025. Transfers are $129k lower
compared to the first quarter 2025 due to sweeper spend in 2025. Operating expenditures and
transfers are at 14% of the approved budget.
Economic Development Authority Special Revenue Fund
Property taxes are received in June, December, and January (final tax settlement).
The sale of 4662 and 4664 Dakota St properties for the construction of the Cora Apartments
happened in the first quarter. Facility rental payments have been received from Sebastian
Automotive.
Expenditures include a $70,000 forgivable loan to Black Hills Properties, LLC (Chula’s) to assist

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2026
PREPARED BY: Christine Watson, Public Works Supervisor – Administration
Phil Ryan, Public Works Supervisor – Utilities
PRESENTED BY: Nick Monserud, Public Works Director/City Engineer
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Receiving the Quote and Awarding a Contract to
Replace the Well 5 Motor Control Center (2026-20)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution to receive the quote and award a contract to replace the Well 5 motor control
center (2026-20).
BACKGROUND:
The City operates six municipal wells that pump groundwater to the Prior Lake water treatment
plant, and one municipal well that pumps water to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community
water treatment plant. Treated water from both treatment plants is then distributed throughout the
sytem to provide potable drinking water for the Prior Lake community. Water demand in the City
of Prior Lake exceeded one billion gallons in 2023, with a five-year average of 877 million gallons
per year.
The seven municipal wells each contain a motor control center that controls the speed and
operating intervals of the pumps at each well. The motor control centers at each well are the
original units and some are nearing their expected replacement interval. The motor control center
at Well 5 (constructed in 1988) has experienced a significant amount of corrosion on the wiring
and other components and is in need of replacement. It is scheduled for replacement in 2027.
Staff solicited a quote from Total Control Systems, Inc. (TCS) to replace the motor control center
at Well 5. The staff at TCS have performed a significant amount of work on our water system
components in the past and are familiar with the current setup and programming, including the
master telemetry (communications) unit which was updated in February 2024. The City Council
has previously approved using a single-source contractor for this type of work in order to maintain
consistency, continuity, and efficiency for this critically important function of water management.
TCS submitted a quote in the amount of $100,561 to build and install a new motor control center
at Well 5. Although this is a planned improvement in 2027, staff recommend Council award a
contract at this time so TCS is able to begin procuring the necessary parts to build the motor
control center, which may take up to 40 weeks depending on lead times for the various parts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This is a planned improvement with $150,000 included in the 2027 Water Utility CIP for this
project. A separate contract will be proposed next year for the electrical work that will be needed
complete the project once the new control center is installed. The total project cost is estimated
to be within the budgeted $150,000.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2026
PREPARED BY: Paul Moretto, Planner
PRESENTED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving a Combined Preliminary and Final Plat and
Development Agreement for a Subdivision known as Prior Lake Revival
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval of a resolution approving a Combined Preliminary and Final Plat and Development
Agreement for Prior Lake Revival.
BACKGROUND:
On February 27, 2023 the Prior Lake Planning Commission recommended approval of the
preliminary plat and approved a variance for a reduction in the floor area ratio (FAR) of a
substantially similar project on this site. The City Council reviewed the proposal and approved
Resolution 23-53 approving the Prior Lake Revival Preliminary Plat.
As part of this project, stormwater management proved to be a very challenging component of
the proposal. The development team for Revival II spent time reviewing alternatives to the
previous stormwater plan. The solution was to acquire a parcel to the west of the subject property
and include its area into the project.
Subsection 9-34 of City Code allows for the combination of a preliminary and final plat in one
action due to the simplicity of the proposed subdivision provided:
The resulting subdivision contains no more than 5 lots.
The resulting subdivision will contain two lots. Lot 1 Block 1 and Outlot A.
The proposed subdivision is located in an area where streets and utilities are in place and
capable of serving the subdivision.
Streets and utilities are available and capable of serving the subdivision.
The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication or construction of future streets
and will not interfere with the development of adjacent properties.
The proposed subdivision will access Duluth Avenue through Revival I and will not
require construction of streets or interfere with development of adjacent property.
The resulting lots shall conform with all provisions of the Zoning Code unless a variance
has been granted.
The resulting lots will both conform with all provisions of the Zoning Code and
variances.
th
On May 4, 2026 the Planning Commission held a hearing to consider a requested variance from
the minimum floor area ratio requirement and a recommendation to the city council related to the
combined preliminary and final plat. The planning commission voted 5-0 to approve the variance
request and to recommend city council approval of combined preliminary and final plat.

Current Circumstances
The following paragraphs outline the physical characteristics of the existing site, the
comprehensive plan and zoning designations, and a description of some of the specifics of the
site.
PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Total Site Area: The total site area is 3.76 acres which is proposed to be subdivided into two lots
of approximately 1.05 acres, lot one block one, and 2.41 acres, Outlot A, respectively.
Topography: This area has relatively level topography, with elevations ranging from the 936’
MSL in the northwestern corner to a high point of 966’ MSL in the southwestern portion of the site
above the retaining wall.
Access: Access to the site will be from a private access agreement through the parking lot east
of the subject property. An ingress and egress easement is in place to allow access through the
parking lot to Duluth Avenue SW.
2040 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated as TC, Town Center on
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
Zoning: The site is presently zoned TC, Town Center.
PROPOSED PLAN
Commercial Development: The development plan calls for a single 10,910 square foot
commercial building which will be occupied by three or four businesses. Exterior building
elevations with varying colors and materials types including glass, masonry, and architectural
cement board. Awnings and varying wall heights as well as wall breaks are also proposed in
accordance with the City Code.
Materials: Section 10-705 establishes the design requirements for buildings in the TC zoning
district. The materials for the proposed building meet the TC requirements for buildings not
located on Main Avenue or Dakota Street.
Frontage Requirement Proposed (%)

with none found on property.
Item 5F
Page | 3
Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: Sanitary sewer and watermains will be extended from the private
parking lot east of the site.
Grading / Storm water: The site will be graded so that the storm water drainage is directed to a
storm water basin on outlot A to meet the City’s water quality and runoff requirements. The basin
will pretreat the stormwater runoff of the development prior to flowing into the area wetlands.
Fees and Assessments: This development will be subject to the standard development fees
including park dedication and trunk utility service charges.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Construction of the project will help diversify the city’s property tax base.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2026
PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
PRESENTED BY: Casey McCabe
AGENDA ITEM: Authorize City Manager to Identify a Real Estate Agent to Assist with the
Disposal of City-Owned Property at 13995 Hidden Lake Trail NE
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to identify a real estate agent to facilitate the sale of City-owned
property at 13995 Hidden Lake Trail NE.
BACKGROUND:
On March 10, 2026 the City Council approved a purchase agreement for the City to acquire real
property located at 13995 Hidden Lake Trail NE to accommodate the extension of Marsh Drive
NE between Hidden Lake Trail NE and Pike Lake Trail NE. City staff completed the closing and
acquired the property on March 18, 2026.
On April 14, 2026 the City Council approved a cooperative cost share agreement with Scott
County for the Marsh Drive extension project.
Bolton & Menk has been retained to complete a combined preliminary and final plat of the
approximate 4.67 acre parcel. The final plat will create an approximate 1.75 acre outlot north of
the southerly Marsh Drive NE right-of-way line. This parcel will remain owned by the City of Prior
Lake to facilitate the Marsh Drive extension and may provide future residential development
opportunities. The final plat will also dedicate the necessary CH42 right-of-way to Scott County
and would identify a new parcel of approximately 2.92 acres around the existing home for future
sale.
Staff is requesting the City Council authorize the City Manager to identify a real estate agent to
begin marketing the property prior to the approval and recording of the final plat.
Current Circumstances
Section 111 of Prior Lake City Code addresses disposal of City property and establishes a
process whereby the City may dispose of real or personal property. The City may dispose of real
property in a manner deemed by the City Council to be in the City’s interest; this may include
sealed bids, quotes, direct negotiation, auction, donation, exchange, real estate agent, or any
other method deemed to be appropriate.
When considering the sale of this property, it is staff’s position that due to the complexity of the
planned public improvement project, current platting process and sale of the existing single-family
home, a local real estate agent with expertise in single-family residential home sales and land
development sales is identified.
Conclusion
The City Council is not being asked to approve the sale of the property, only to authorize staff to
identify a local real estate agent to help determine market value, market the property and assist
City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372
Item 5G
Page | 2
with negotiations. Once a potential purchaser is identified and a purchase agreement is provided,
staff will present the purchase agreement to the city council for consideration and approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase of right-of-way for the Marsh Drive extension project is identified in the City’s Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Scott County Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Under the
terms of the Scott County cooperative agreement, Scott County will receive 50% of the net
proceeds of any sale of this property.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second, as part of the consent agenda, authorizing the City Manager to identify
a real estate agent to facilitate the sale of City-owned property at 13995 Hidden Lake Trail
NE.
2. Remove this item from the consent agenda for additional discussion.

MEETING DATE: May 12, 2026
PREPARED BY: Lori Olson, Assistant City Manager
PRESENTED BY: Jason Wedel, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving Part-Time Employee Participation in the
Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval of a resolution that will allow James W. Ruzicka, Assistant Fire Chief, to continue
enrollment in the PERA Police & Fire Retirement Plan as a part-time employee effective May 31,
2026.
BACKGROUND:
In early 2026, Assistant Fire Chief Ruzicka announced his retirement from the Prior Lake Fire
Department (PLFD). Although his replacement was promoted in March 2026, the Fire Chief asked
Chief Ruzicka to delay his retirement to complete several projects and assist with the training of
his replacement. By mutual agreement, Chief Ruzicka will transition to a part-time, exempt
employee on May 31 through September 19, 2026.
Below are the specific projects Chief Ruzicka will be responsible for over the next few months:
Finalizing the new ladder truck production, including travel to Appleton, WI for pre-build
and specification meetings with the vendor in August;
Preparing Fire Station 2 (FS2) for staffing, including coordination with Facilities and IT to
ready the building for employees; development of the staffing implementation plan and
schedule for FS2; and drafting updated standard operating procedures to include policies
for fire response from two stations;
Completing “First Due” software implementation, including the rollout of Community
Connect and staff training;
Assisting with the part-time, shift-assigned hiring process which is currently underway for
at least six new firefighters; and
Responding to service calls during PLFD’s high call volume summer season.
As a full-time firefighter, Chief Ruzicka is currently enrolled in the PERA Police & Fire plan.
Minnesota State Statute (MSS) and PERA rules require a City Council resolution for part-time
firefighters and police officers to participate in this plan. Specifically, section 353.64, subdivision
2 of MSS says:
The governing body of a governmental subdivision may adopt a resolution…declaring that
a public employee employed in a position on a part-time basis by that governmental
subdivision is covered by the police and fire plan for that employment.
Chief Ruzicka started with the PLFD as a paid-on-call (POC) firefighter in 1998 at a wage of
$7.50/hour. He was promoted to POC captain in 2002 and to POC Deputy Chief in 2021. His
maximum wage during that time was $14.00/hour with a small monthly stipend for being an officer.
City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372
Item 5H
Page | 2
In 2021, he accepted the full-time Assistant Fire Chief position where he served as one of only
two regular City employees until the PLFD transitioned to a full-time department in 2023. For over
28 years, Chief Ruzica has served the community with honor, dedication, and professionalism.
This resolution applies to Chief Ruzicka only and does not impact PLFD’s part-time, shift-assigned
firefighters’ participation in the PERA – Coordinated Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no budget impact for this request as the transition allows for cost alignment within the
existing personnel budget due to wage differentials.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second, as part of the consent agenda, approve the resolution that will allow
James W. Ruzicka, Assistant Fire Chief, to continue enrollment in the PERA Police & Fire
Retirement Plan as a part-time employee effective May 31, 2026.
2. Remove from the consent agenda for discussion.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept Final Progress Report for 2023-2026 Strategic Plan
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this item is to formally accept the final progress report for the 2023-2026 Strategic
Plan. This action concludes the final year of the current strategic plan and lays the groundwork
for the next iteration of strategic planning in 2027.
Over several months in 2022, the City of Prior Lake conducted a strategic planning process that
resulted in the development of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The plan identified the City’s
strategic short-term priorities which helped City leaders prioritize budgets, work plans, and
performance management. The plan was adopted by the City Council on 2/23/2023.
The 2023-2026 Strategic Plan identified the following priority areas:
Financial Sustainability – a fiscally responsible community
Well Managed Growth – growth that meets community needs
Stable & Sustainable Infrastructure – systems that support reliable service delivery
Public Safety – a safe community
High Quality Parks & Trails – a community that values the natural environment
Each strategic priority included a set of outcomes, targets, and strategic initiatives designed to
help achieve the desired results. Progress reports to inform the community, track performance,
and ensure accountability were presented to the City Council on 1/23/2024 and 2/4/2025. Now in
the final year of the plan, the attached report provides an update on the City’s progress toward
the plan’s targets and strategic initiatives.
Overall, the city made significant advancement in meeting the plan’s desired outcomes. Of the
plan’s 19 performance targets across all priority areas, all have either been met or are on track
for completion. Accomplishments of note include:
City received AAA bonding for the first time in 2023 and every year since
Over 20,000 s.f. of new commercial added or in review for downtown Prior Lake
Formation of a full-time Fire Department, including the onboarding of 12 new
