Comments:
Millar: Sounds like a niche was filled that was needed in the community. Wished Kressler success.
Hedberg: Agreed it is a unique facility and a welcome addition.
Kressler: Noted there are not many businesses like this and that similar businesses are closing - Grand
Slam in Eagan and a training facility for baseball in Burnsville.
LeMair: Stated his son has been there and had a great time. Stated it is nice to be able to drop in for an
hour or so and not have to schedule a whole day. Asked if food is served.
Kressler: Responded that there is a concession stand.
Erickson: Noted that he has been there and looks forward to returning.
Haugen: Remembered he was excited about the concept when it was brought to the Council. Asked
Kressler to explain the individual activities and group activities vs. training.
Kressler: Replied that group activities such as a church or school, or an individual can bring children to be
entertained with open gym or mini golf, etc.; and training venues are available for organizations such as
PLAY that are involved with baseball or softball can purchase a membership and can train with staff
members or through clinics. Noted that an individual can also come in with a parent to work on
fundamental techniques.
Fire Department Report
City Manager Boyles invited Fire Chief Hartman and First Assistant Chief Larson to the podium and
described their history with the Fire Department as well as certifications and competencies held by each.
Explained that an election would be held on January 25 to fill the Second Assistant Chief opening.
Fire Chief Hartman assured the Council that all projects and activities are on schedule and described the
calendar of events for the next several months. Informed the Council that the training officer position and
possibly a captain's position will be filled in February.
City Manager Boyles described the series of events that led to the resignation of former Fire Chief Bruce
Sames and the subsequent actions taken for investigation as well as protection of the funds in the account
that was misappropriated. Stated that neither the firefighter's pension fund nor any City budget funds were
impacted and that the new account will require audited, double signatures for withdrawals and bonding of
the treasurer.
Comments:
Haugen: Asked Boyles to speak about the treasurer's knowledge of the checking account.
Boyles: Noted that the former treasurer is the person who was responsible for the checking account and
explained that the treasurer recognized that a check withdrawal amount had been altered and confronted
Sames in January 2006. Stated that the treasurer provided false reports to the Fire Department for twelve
months. Informed the Council that the Scott County Sheriff's office was handling the investigation.
LeMair: Commented on his feelings of shock and disbelief when he leamed of the missing funds, but
stated that the Fire Department will carry on as it is not made up of one individual, but many dedicated
individuals. Stated he has faith in the Fire Department and hopes Sames can make good decisions and
get back to where he needs to be. Noted Sames was instrumental in many positive things that happened
in the community from a fire protection standpoint.
Erickson: Thanked Hartman and Larson for accepting the positions and stated his belief that they will do
an exemplary job. Noted this is a disturbing situation, but thanked Sames for 25 years of service.
Millar: Congratulated Hartman and Larson and stated that the Fire Department has his full support.

Hopes that the public keeps this incident in perspective and also hopes that the mistake Sames made
doesn't outweigh all the good he did for the community. Agrees the individuals need to be accountable, but
wishes a good healing process for both Sames and the treasurer.
Hedberg: Extended best wishes to Hartman and Larson. Stated that the ex-chief did a great job for the
community and the City is fortunate to have Hartman and Larson to step into the position at such a
challenging time.
Haugen: Congratulated Hartman and Larson and noted the assignments were given by the Fire
Department through election. Has confidence that the fire service will continue competently and
recognized that the City made significant changes in controlling these types of funds. Concurred with
statements regarding Sames and his 25 years of service. Stated that firefighters playa critical role in the
community by creating an environment where there is peace of mind and the provision of education for
youth regarding fire safety.
Erickson: Asked for an update on the new training facility in Jordan.
Hartman: Responded that firefighters will get an update at their March 13 meeting.
Haugen: Stated that SCALE is dealing with some permitting and design aspects and plans to go back to
the legislature for additional funding. Recently entered into agreement to bring Carver County into the
project as a partner. Suggested inviting Rob Boe to a Council meeting to give us a full report in the next
60-90 days.
Hartman: Thanked Council for support and confidence.
PUBLIC HEARING
No public hearings were scheduled.
OLD BUSINESS
Consider Approval of a Resolution Making a Declaration on the Need for an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Excavation of Sand and Gravel on the McKenna Property.
Planning Director Kansier described the location of the gravel pit and reviewed the history of the
conditional use permit, associated litigation and court actions together with environmental reviews for
excavation at this location. Noted that elements of the project have remained the same, but changes have
occurred in development of properties all around the proposed mining operation. These changes bring up
the EAW issues such as the potential contamination to the public water supply system, and traffic issues
with the haul trucks using highways and causing potential degradation to the road system. Identified a
concern of stacking trucks on nearby roadways due to restrictions on the number of vehicles allowed on the
site at anyone time which could constrict emergency vehicle access. Described the criteria on which a
decision by the Council must be based.
Comments:
Millar: Asked clarification of the term "moderate" as used in the supplemental EAW in describing the
impact to the wellhead protection area.
Albrecht: Responded that the term is a somewhat subjective, but commented that mining removes much
of the surface material that would protect groundwater in the event of a spill so there is a higher potential
for contamination in a mining site than for regular development. There would be a difference in how
equipment would be monitored on a mining site.
Millar: Concerned that the three monitoring wells may already be detecting contamination and damage
may have already been done. Also concerned about truck stacking on public roadways.
Hedberg: Referred to a traffic study that stated 84 trips per hour would be made by trucks. Asked if it
would be feasible for a truck to wait at the gate, enter the site, get loaded and leave the site in 90 seconds.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2007
DRAFT
Albrecht: Does not believe it can be done.
Hedberg: Expressed concern that Ryan Contracting could be in violation of CUP conditions and was
concerned about practicality of enforcing conditions. Clarified that the revised study did not address the
likelihood of stacking.
Albrecht: Confirmed and believes they may not have factored in the court-ordered restrictions in the traffic
analysis.
Hedberg: Noted that they did address higher volume, but not stacking. Believes stacking creates local
traffic effect concerns such as the safety impact on vehicular and pedestrian traffic and the noise of several
trucks idling. Needs a better understanding of potential noise effects and air pollution effect of heavy diesel
truck idling. Noted that the revised traffic study assumes a stop light at McKenna and 42 and asked if a
traffic light would be installed before mining operations begin.
Albrecht: Stated a traffic light was not in the City's Capital Improvement Program and he is not aware that
one is included in the County's transportation implementation plan so installation would be unlikely before
mining begins.
Hedberg: Believes loaded trucks can not accelerate enough to clear the intersection of McKenna and 42 if
they pull out and an unseen vehicle is approaching from the direction of Haas Lake. Believes Ryan
Contracting has done their job in seeking appropriate permits, but the changes that have occurred are
significant enough to need further study.
LeMair: Stated he has concerns about the impact of the mining operation because of the addition of a
church, YMCA, possible soccer dome, elderly care facility, possible youth home, SMSC homes, a new
school, a fire station that will be across the street, etc., and with so many things going into that vicinity,
there is a legitimate concern about the traffic there. Asked who is responsible for monitoring the
compliance with the conditions of a conditional use permit.
Kansier: City staff.
LeMair: Asked if the City would have someone monitoring the site 24 hours a day.
Kansier: Replied it is likely that someone would check it every day.
LeMair: Expressed concern about limitations of one truck and one loader on the site being able to remove
the amount of material they want to remove. Noted that the roads are not designed to have dump trucks
stacked on them. Stated his concern with the wellhead area and the effects that removing the material
could have on the surface and ground water in the area as well as runoff to downstream channels.
Believes the concerns he raised require additional study and he will support requiring an EIS.
Erickson: Stated the Council is not talking about a conditional use permit since it has previously been
issued. Asked the City Attorney to comment as to the legal status of a CUP.
Pace: Replied that the CUP is subject to whether or not an EIS is required. Litigation was subject to
settlement that started with SMSC, the City and Ryan Contracting. SMSC withdrew from negotiations.
There was a petition for a supplemental EAW, which is the current status.
Erickson: Asked if the CUP is filed in Court as part of a legal document.
Pace: It is a legal document that exists for one year subject to compliance with conditions.
Erickson: Clarified whether the year starts from the time that Ryan can start mining.
Kansier: Stated that the resolution approving the conditional use permit has never been recorded. It was
part of the settlement agreement that was not completed. Presuming they are allowed to go forward, the
CUP would have to be recorded and the year would start from the date of approval.
Erickson: Believes the previous discussion has been about a CUP which has already been granted.
States the additional EIS study would cost between $100,000 and $150,000 and an EAW cannot be used
to deny mining, but can only put restrictions on it.
Kansier: An EAW is intended to identify any potential impacts and the next step, if the Council identifies
specific impacts, would be to go to an environmental impact statement (EIS). If that study process found a
5
City Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2007
DRAFT
solution or answer to questions that could mitigate any potential impact, then the project would probably
have to be approved subject to the applicant agreeing to any further mitigating conditions that might be
imposed. If the study found there were no solutions to potential adverse impacts that could not be
mitigated, there would be a basis to deny the project.
Erickson: Believes that is what happened when the judge put the restrictions on it such as no fuel on site,
etc. Based on that, believes asking for an EIS will only delay mining which will allow more building in the
area and cause more problems than there are now. Noted that the traffic safety committee has already
stated that the road will be no parking. Believes trucks would be staged at the dumping area. Commented
that the end user realizes that they cannot do 84 trucks per hour. Believes the City will be into more liability
if we don't proceed.
Haugen: Stated the CUP is not in effect until all permits are granted including potential approval of an EIS
or a negative declaration on the supplemental EAW, but the process needs to be concluded. Noted that
many dollars have been spent in legal fees over the last eight years and listed things have changed in the
area including transportation, pedestrian/motorist safety, ground water issues, noise pollution, air pollution,
dust, safety for seniors and youth and traffic flow which justifies the completion of an EIS.
Hedberg: Commented that the report indicated that 84 trips per hour was part of the most recent traffic
study.
Albrecht: Responded that the most recent traffic study was in June 2006, which was after the decision
relating to the restrictions.
Hedberg: Asked if the Council would have the opportunity to modify or impose new conditions in
response to an environmental impact study.
Pace: Affirmed. Noted there is a supplemental environmental assessment statement and concerns about
the project have been listed. Part of the reason to do EIS is to identify potential risks posed by the project
and the Council can impose conditions to mitigate against them. Advised if the Council has concerns in
specific areas or about specific impacts it has to specifically identify what it wants studied further.
Millar: Asked how long would it take to get an environmental impact statement completed.
Kansier: Approximately a year.
Millar: Commented that he believes Ryan intended to use the aggregate product for the CR 21 project
which is not projected to begin for more than a year. Stated he has concerns about potential adverse
impacts and believes further study is warranted based on his comments and those of his colleagues.
Supports declaration for an EIS.
LeMair: Stated he is in favor of an EIS to study impacts of traffic on the surrounding area, on roads,
impacts from mining operation from the standpoint of noise, diesel and dust in the air, and study of the
effects of mining on the surface and groundwater and the wellhead area.
Erickson: Stated he is in favor of the environment, but feels many of these issues have been addressed
and an EIS would delay the project and add expense to it.
Pace: Suggested councilors identify what they would like to have studied in the EIS.
LeMair: Stated items the EIS should look at would include: 1) effects from additional traffic and size of the
trucks on roadways, 2) safety of people traveling in vicinity with those trucks, 3) effects of higher noise
decibels on surrounding uses, particularly residential, 4) health effects of dust and diesel for a continuous
four-year period on the church and the elderly who will be living there, 5) effect on surface and groundwater
in the vicinity, 6) effect on the wellhead protection area that is within 100 yards of the area.
Haugen: Restated the items.
Hedberg: Requested addition of the effects of stacking of trucks as well as the safety impacts of the CR
42 and McKenna Road intersection without traffic lights, specifically loaded trucks pulling onto CR 42 from
McKenna Road.

DRAFT
Haugen: Added enforcement issues relative to traffic as it relates to the YMCA, senior facility, health care
environment and other users in the environment area.
MOTION BY LEMAIR, SECOND BY MILLAR TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 07-014 DECLARING THE
NEED FOR AN EIS BASED ON SPECIFIC FINDINGS OF FACT INCLUDING POTENTIAL ADVERSE
IMPACTS RELATING TO: 1) EFFECTS FROM ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC AND NUMBER AND SIZE OF THE
TRUCKS ON ROADWAYS, 2) SAFETY OF PEOPLE TRAVELING IN VICINITY WITH THOSE TRUCKS,
3) EFFECTS OF HIGHER NOISE DECIBELS ON BUSINESS, COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTIAL
FACILITIES IN THE VICINITY, 4) HEALTH EFFECTS OF DUST AND DIESEL FOR A CONTINUOUS
FOUR-YEAR PERIOD ON THE CHURCH AND THE ELDERLY WHO WILL BE LIVING THERE, 5)
EFFECT ON SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER IN THE VICINITY, 6) EFFECT ON THE WELLHEAD
PROTECTION AREA THAT IS WITHIN 100 YARDS OF THE AREA, 7) EFFECTS OF STACKING OF
TRUCKS AND ACCESSING CR 42 FROM MCKENNA WITHOUT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, 8) POTENTIAL
TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ISSUES AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THE MINING
OPERATION IMPACT ON THE OTHER USERS IN THE AREA.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. Erickson opposed. The motion carried.
Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amending Section 301 of the Prior Lake City Code Relating to
Liquor Control.
City Manager Boyles explained the Captain Jack's scenario of requesting a reimbursement of license fees
and suggested issues that should be considered.
Comments:
Erickson: Will support.
LeMair: Agreed the proposal is reasonable.
Hedberg: Asked for clarification of what the administrative fee would be compensating.
Boyles: Agenda report preparation, reviewing applications for reimbursement, etc.
Hedberg: Suggested that since administrative costs are borne upon issuance, the charge should also
reflect that cost.
Boyles: Agreed the requestor would be asking for a second administrative process.
Hedberg: Commented that the fundamental purpose of license is to offset cost to the community for
having the license in the establishment for police coverage, etc. There is cost to issue the license and
suggested that cost should be taken off the amount of reimbursement. Asked if reimbursement for
someone going out of business could apply the same logic.
Pace: Present ordinance amendment suggests contemplation of a business owner electing to transfer
license as part of the sale.
Boyles: Use of the word transfer is creating confusion; provision in ordinance talks about transferring
licenses from one owner to another - was intended to describe the transferring of the business, not the
license.
Haugen: Clarified that when a sale of a business occurs, the City has never transferred the liquor license -
the new owner must apply for it and pay for it prorated on the remainder of the year. Transfer the ability of
the person to apply for a license.
Pace: Interprets the language to say the City will consider transfer of a license upon application. The
procedure is basically the same.
Erickson: Queried whether the goal is to assure there would not be two liquor licenses for the same
location running simultaneously, and that issuance of the second license would stop the first one and
trigger the reimbursement of the balance of the fee less the administrative cost.

City Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2007
DRAFT
Haugen: Clarified that if a person buys a liquor establishment, they apply for a license and we are seeking
a way to reimburse the seller because the new owner is applying for a license and paying the appropriate
fee. Seller has sold the right for the buyer to apply for a liquor license. We do not transfer liquor licenses.
Erickson: Stated it would be a way of ending the old license to give the reimbursement.
Haugen: Concurred. Stated that in and out fees are a valid cost of doing business.
Pace: Believes there is a conflict in giving a rebate and someone who may desire to transfer the license
for a location. States the Code provides for the transfer of license and there is a process to do so.
Boyles: Noted it is not clear with respect to the fees.
Pace: Concurred, but stated it the transfer process goes through investigation, etc. Asked why the seller
should get any fee back when the cost of selling the business presumably is selling the license.
Haugen: This owner did not factor the value of the license into the sale.
Pace: Noted she is not addressing any particular person, but believes the Council needs to address any
contingency that might happen.
Haugen: Does not have an alternate proposal but wants to assure there is common understanding.
Millar: Appears to be a fairness issue. The City is receiving money for the new license that is being
issued.
Pace: Commented that it is changing parties to a license. Suggested elimination of section "e" from the
proposed resolution, "the reason the license was discontinued is a result of a transfer of the business to
another owner who has secured a license for the business," and bring the item back to more fully discuss
the transfer.
Haugen: Agreed with removal of section "e." Agreed with proposal to charge a $200 fee at the application
point and another $200 fee for a reimbursement application.
LeMair: Agreed.
Erickson: Commented that section "e" does not address the transfer of a license.
Pace: Replied that there is existing Code that addresses transfer of a license that would create a conflict of
interpretation.
Erickson: Proposed language for section "e" as, "The reason the license was discontinued is the result of
issuance of a new license at the same location."
MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECOND BY LEMAIR TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 107-04 AMENDING
SECTION 301 OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE RELATING TO LIQUOR CONTROL WITH REVISIONS
TO SECTION "E" AND THE INCLUSION OF TWO $200 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS

Comments:

Hedberg: Appreciated the analysis and the information about maintenance problems with Case and
addressing protections against that. Liked the information about maintenance records and noted it will
provide data to analyze opportunities to rebuild, renovate and extend life of the equipment. Will support.
Eldred: Commented that the City does rebuild equipment and gave examples. Confirmed the loader will
be an analysis point.
