CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
October 13, 2026
1. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Briggs called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present were Councilors Braid, and Hellier.
Absent: Churchill. Also in attendance were City Manager Wedel, Police Chief Duggan, and City
Clerk Simon in attendance.
2. PUBLIC FORUM
Nina Resler-Myklebust, 16872 Peregrine Cir. SW: On the evening of October 4th gun shots
were discharged on Willow Lane SW, have audio from resident who lives 3 houses away. (Audio
played from personal cell phone over speaker). Expected police to release a public statement,
nothing was released. Incident occurred not as close to Five Hawks Elementary as news stories
were reporting. Lack of info from Prior Lake Police is disappointing. In future, hope incidents as
such are treated with more transparency.
Wedel: Thank you for your comments, imagine it was very concerning. Fortunately, the police de-
partment apprehended the individual responsible for discharging the firearm immediately. City is
always trying to navigate the appropriate level of response per event. This incident created no
public safety concern, and the person was apprehended immediately so a press release was de-
termined to not be warranted.
