Fire Department.
. Mayor Andren read a proclamation from the City Council recognIzmg the
contributions of the Prior Lake Volunteer Fire Department to Prior Lake citizens.
. Fire Chief Chromy accepted the proclamation and thanked the members of the
Fire Department. He also thanked the Mayor and Council for the proclamation,
, and the City Staff and Police Department
B. The Referendum Passed, "Now the Fun Begins. " Jon Gurban, Executive
Director of the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association.
. Paul Hokeness introduced the agenda item. He said the referendums that John
Gurban has been involved in have been successful. After a successful
referendum, new issues must be addressed which Mr. Gurban will discuss.
. John Gurban, Director of Minnesota Parks and Recreation Association presented
to the City Council, "Money's in the Bank! What's Next". He said the first thing
staff should do is relax and celebrate. The attitude of the staff is important to the
success of the referendum. He said establishing a time frame for construction
needs to be done. Construction should be spread out, not compressed. The
2
sequence of events is important. A strategic communication plan is important,
including developing a community awareness, Meetings and committees, input
from all department heads is essential. He said the City should be careful with
special interest groups--often the loudest voice makes known its needs at the
expense of general public. The City should have a system for meetings and
committees, public meetings and referrals. The hiring of technical support
(architect) needs to be done. The Ground Breaking is a celebration, a good way
for public to be made aware of the parks. Signage should be attractive for park,
and reflect what the City wants communicated to the community. At substantial
completion, for promotion, use the park for private events for selected groups
before the Grand Opening. Make sure the Grand Opening is a celebration of the
community. Finally, thank-yous are very important!
C. Consider Referendum Financing Strategy.
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item. Steve Mattson of Juran and Moody
gave a presentation to the City Council on the financial details of the referendum.
He explained the philosophy and process involved with the Public Sale of bonds
versus negotiated sale. It would involve preparing the documents, having Juran
and Moody wait for interest rates to lower, and giving City Council a 24 hour
notice for an emergency meeting. The City can presell bonds to lending
institutions. He said Juran and Moody want to find a time to sell when there is
high demand, when there are not a lot of bonds for sale. There is a factor of
$1,135,000 for every interest point.
. Councilmember Greenfield asked what the time frame is, if there has been some
consideration of the timing between when bonds will be sold and when the Parks
department will need money for construction. He asked if there would be an
advantage to doing it in phases.
. Mr. Mattson said there was three years to do the debt financing. He said right
now they were on the low side of interest rates. Juran and Moody intends to sell
all $7.8 million at once.
. Councilmember Schenck said a strategy they have previously utilized is selling on
the 5th Monday of the month, and there would not be one until June.
. Mr, Mattson said if interest rates increase between now and June 30, just from a
supply and demand standpoint, they would come to the City Council.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO AUTHORIZE
JURAN AND MOODY TO PROCEED WITH A NEGOTIATED SALE ON $7.8
3
MILLION GENERAL OBLIGATION FUNDS FOR THE PARK AND
LffiRARY PROJECTS.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the
motion carried.
6. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing to Consider Approval of Resolution 97-23 Approving the
Formation of Tax Increment Financing District 2-8.
. Mayor Andren opened the Public Hearing and City Manager Boyles reviewed
agenda item 6A of the April 7 City Council meeting. He introduced Roger
Guenette of Advance Resources for Development.
. Consultant Guenette said the City has come to an agreement with Mr. Anderson
of acquiring a 1.6 acre lot, which would leave the City with two remaining
parcels. Under the provisions of the agreement, Mr. Anderson would construct a
12,000 square foot warehouse. There will be a cash payment of just over $71,000.
. Councilmember Mader asked about page 2 of the report, Tax Increment receipts
for City and Developer. He asked what the developer is being reimbursed for.
. Consultant Guenette said the first use of the increment is to reimburse the City for
costs. Income stream for increments go to City on annual basis. Of $21,500 per
year, the first $18,500 will go to the City. The excess will be shared on a prorata
basis with the developer.
. Councilmember Mader said he did not see a definition of receipts to go to the
developer.
. ' Consultant Guenette said in the Developers Agreement, page 8, section 3.6., it
shows how they will be shared. The Developer would receive money to reduce
land costs.
. Councilmember Mader clarified of $21,500, $18,500 to City, and developer will
share remaining. He asked where is $71,000 in the Developers Agreement.
. Consultant Guenette said the EDA is the title holder, and the Purchase Agreement
will show that amount to the EDA. The cash price is equal to 1 $ per square foot.
. Consultant Guenette said the agreement that the City Council is approving is the
TIP.
4
. Councilmember Mader said that the City Council should act with the entirety of
information, not just an agreement. He asked if the EDA could buy and sell
property without City Council approval
. Consultant Guenette said yes.
. Councilmember Mader asked about $165,310 on page 7
. Consultant Guenette said this represents $2.30 per square foot for waterfront
passage. Sources of funds includes increment plus the City will make a
contribution equal to 10% of the increment.
. Councilmember Mader asked if the City is receiving $71,000 from the developer,
why is it not in the source of funds?
. Consultant Guenette said the funds are being paid to the EDA because they hold
the title on the property.
. Counci1member Mader asked about estimated captured tax capacity.
. Consultant Guenette explained that if property is vacant, the tax capacity factor of
the market value will increase as the property is developed. The estimated tax
capacity is the difference between vacant and developed property based on
projected market value.
. Councilmember Mader asked why the estimated annual increment is higher than
the estimated captured tax capacity.
. Consultant Guenette said it is based on captured tax capacity times current local
tax rate capacity.
. Councilmember Mader asked about the figures in the table of the Estimate of
Economic and Fiscal implications. He said they did not add up.
. Consultant Guenette explained the figures from School, County, and City, don't
add up to total taxes because there are additional special tax jurisdictions not
shown in the table.
. Councilmember Mader asked about Page 7 of developers agreement, numbers and
land acquisition, the amounts did not add up.
5
. Consultant Guenette said that the total is correct but the allowance for
administration was missing and it should be put in.
. Mayor Andren asked if any members of the Public wished to speak.
. No member of the public came forward to speak.

7. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Consider Approval of Annexation Report and Recommendations
. City Manager Boyles presented the item. He reviewed the annexation report, and
noted that it was not a public hearing, it was for the City Council to hear and
approve the report. He explained the history of the Orderly Annexation
agreement, which began in 1972. He said the objective of the subcommittee was
to research and prepare findings. He listed the steps that the Task Force took,
including preparation of a map, conducting a public meeting in Spring Lake
Township, soliciting and receiving informal input, He listed the
recommendations for all of the areas. In some cases, no further consideration is
recommended. In other areas, there is a 5, 7, or 9 year timeline. A timeline
provides for planning. He said each of the areas also had attached procedural
steps and safeguards, listed on page 9 of the report. He said the Task Force was
waiting for questions from the City Council.
. Councilmember Greenfield said he appreciated all the time spent by the Task
Force, and much thought went into each section. He said there is obviously many
people interested. He said the community and the Council was trying to come to
grips with the future of the growth of the community, He said in his observation,
the document says this is how they would like to proceed. He said with the 5, 7, 9
years, there is a lot of room and a lot of time for things to change. Things are
going to happen and you have to be ready for things to happen. It is important to
seek correct information, He said they were looking forward to working with the
Township, He said he endorsed what was recommended.
. Councilmember Mader said since the only immediate annexation being proposed
was for area 2, and he had some questions.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said area 8 was also proposed for annexation.
9
. Councilmember Mader asked about Area 2 land, where some IS developable,
some not, how much of 270 acres was developable.
. City Manager Boyles said about 30 acres was wetland,
. Councilmember Mader asked about potential of high school.
. Finance Director Teschner said 80-100 acres.
. Councilmember Mader said that leaves 140 acres, and if part of that IS
commercial, how is 700 housing units going to fit?
. Finance Director Teschner said 900 units assumed no purchase by high school,
700 was between lowest estimate and maximum density.
. Councilmember Mader asked is 700 possible into remaining area?
. Finance Director Teschner said a variety of assumptions could utilized, not
knowing what the school district will do. Not all units will be single family
housing, some are likely to be multifamily.
. Councilmember Mader asked about Commercial and Industrial tax assuming TIF
financing. In terms of benefit to taxpayers, they won't see benefit for years.
. Finance Director Teschner said if they made an assumption that entire
development occurs with TIF as lowest possible generation of property tax or
worst case scenario. From a standpoint of projecting financial, the City used
conservative estimates.
. Councilmember Mader asked about the action being taken. They are adopting
annexation task force recommendations. If recommendations are adopted, what
obligations does that entail?
. City Manager Boyles said the Council would be forwarding the recommendations
to the Township for their option of one or more public hearings. This does not set
, in stone that the areas will be annexed.
. Councilmember Mader said there are many areas for longer term consideration,
why is there only a financial analysis on one?
. City Attorney said the Task Force recommended area 2 and area 8 to be annexed.
10
. Councilmember Mader said does that mean if they adopt the proposal, areas 2 and
8 will be annexed?
. City Attorney Pace said that was not cast in stone.
. Councilmember Schenck gave his compliments to the committee. He said there
was lots of information and misinformation out. He said governments are
criticized for being slow to react, but this should not be dealt with quickly.
. Mayor Andren said if the recommendations are passed, they are not cast in stone.
There are safeguards through the public hearing process. In general, she agrees
with the recommendation. She said that it is saying that the Task Force does want
to annex, She said that they are here to represent the best interests of Prior Lake
MOTION BY ANDREN SECOND BY KEDROWSKI TO APPROVE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANNEXATION AS PROPOSED AND TO
FORWARD THE REPORT TO SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP BOARD,
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the
motion carried.
B. Consider Approval of Ordinance 97-26 Rezoning Property from the A-I
(Agricultural) District to the R-l (Suburban Residential) District for
"Winds tar Addition ".
. City Manager Boyles introduced the item. It was deferred from the previous
agenda as staff was directed to address the concern of the extension of property
lines into the pond. They found the most effective way to deal with it was to plat
the pond as an outlot.
MOTION BY ANDREN SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE
AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION 97-16.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said he would support rezoning issue but not
amendment to resolution. He did not agree with taking the pond as an outlot,
because it would cost the City, and the City did not need it.
. Councilmember Mader said his concern is that the Planning Commission and
Property owner issue was that the lawns went to the shore. The proposed outlot
does not address the issue.
. City Attorney Pace said this is valid.
11
. Councilmember Mader said then it does not accomplish anything for the
homeowners. Maybe something should be in there to protect shoreline. He said
the Planning Commission responded to the property owners concerns for a pond.
By changing lot lines, that would address the concern, but if lot lines still extend
to the pond, property owners could still do whatever they want to do unless there
is an ordinance to protect it.
. Planning Coordinator Kansier said that would be right. It is not subject to
Shore land Requirements. It would be subject to the Wetland Rules. The lot lines
are 5-10 feet from water's edge. Covenants could be put in, but the City does not
enforce covenants.
. Councilmember Kedrowski said it should give land to the property owners, and
let them establish covenants. If it is pursued, then establish special rules for this
side of the pond.
. Councilmember Mader said it appears the proposal does not accomplish this in
any way, and the developer should meet and discuss this issue with the neighbors.
There is no reason to believe that anyone will violate covenant.
. City Attorney said she would not be comfortable directing the developer to
negotiate with people in another subdivision.
. Mr. Wensmann said the concerns of homeowners across pond is that their lot lines
don't go into pond, why should ours. The City does not have any way to maintain
the property; he would prefer lot lines going out to pond.
. Mayor Andren said it was not good policy for City to ask Developer to negotiate
with homeowners. She asked if the developer would voluntarily put covenants in
place to protect shoreline.
. Mr. Wensmann said he would.
. Mayor Andren said then if there is a dispute, the City will not get involved.
. Mayor Andren called the question.
Upon a vote, nays by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the
motion failed.
12
. Councilmember Mader said his recommendation is to approve the rezoning
change with a provision that developer will add covenants to protect shoreline.
MOTION MADER TO AMEND RESOLUTION 97-16 WITH CONDITION #6,
ADDING COVENANTS BY DEVELOPER AND STAFF TO PROTECT
SHORELINE.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
. Councilmember Greenfield agreed with Councilmember Kedrowski; it is
important that the pond issue be part of what residents have. The City should
vacate interests, and should pursue a clarification of policy.
. Councilmember Schenck was concerned about the resolution, what does it revert
to? This would be acceptable as long as it adds restrictive covenants,
. James Gustin, resident, said his concern was preserving shoreline, and if Mr.
Wensmann will put in restrictive covenants, he would support this solution.
. Mayor Andren said the City has dealt with Mr. Wensmann; he is honorable.
. City Attorney Pace said the City Council was imposing additional conditions on
the developer as part ofthe preliminary plat which she is not comfortable about,
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE

MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE
RESOLUTION 97-25 AUTHORIZING BONESTROO, ROSENE AND
ANDERLIK PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO DESIGN WELL #6.
. Councilmember Mader asked Public Works Director Ilkka if regarding Mount
Simon / Hinckley Aquifer well, the City could get approval to invest money in the
well and suddenly find they are not approved.
. Public Works Director Ilkka said there will have to be an expenditure to get to the
point of getting DNR approval.
. Councilmember Mader asked if present capacity and demand were crossing.
. Public Works Director Ilkka said that for the last two years, the City was
exceeding 400 million gallons per year, beyond its permit for the Jordan Aquifer.
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the
motion carried.
B. Consider Approval of Resolution 97-26 Approving Conditional Use
Permit for Lemke Professional Building.
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY GREENFIELD TO APPROVE

motion carried.

WMO
MOTION BY KEDROWSKI SECOND BY SCHENCK TO APPROVE
RESOLUTION 97-28 APPROVING THE REPORT REGARDING THE
DESIRED FORM OF WATERSHED GOVERNANCE FOR THE CREDIT
RIVER WMO AND SHAKOPEE BASIN WMO.
· Councilmember Mader said WMO's have been around for ten years. He asked if
they should be concerned about the disappearance of a WMO.
· Engineering Technician Lani Leichty said WMO's will be required to implement
policies. It will be much more reasonable to let the County take over. It would
cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 or $300,000 to run a WMO. The
resolution as moved would have the County take over the WMO's
responsibilities.
15
Upon a vote, ayes by Andren, Greenfield, Kedrowski, Mader, and Schenck, the
motion carried.
9. OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Executive Session to Discuss Pending Litigation.
. The Executive Session to Discuss Pending Litigation was removed from
the agenda.
B. Mayor Andren said there was an amendment to the City Council Bylaws
to add the Consent Agenda because the Council used to meet once per
week, and the meetings went on forever. There was then a proposal to
meet every two weeks provided that there is a Consent Agenda. It was
understood at that time that whatever went on the Consent Agenda was
housekeeping, routine administrative items, etc. She said originally when
someone took an item off, it went to the end of the meeting. She said all
of the City Council members have taken things off the agenda that take a
considerable amount of time. People (the public) may have attorneys
whose time they are paying for. She said the bylaws should be amended
so that items removed from the consent agenda are after New Business,
and before Other Business. There was a clause in the bylaws for the
purpose of reducing the amount of City Council time spent on routine or
non-controversial items, it has never been changed. She said it was time
to specifically define what went on Consent Agenda. Second, she did not
want the perception that things went on the Consent Agenda to hide them.
There was some talk that budgetary items should not be on the Consent
Agenda. The quarterly report was put on the Consent Agenda for
informational purposes. She said they should define what should go on
there. It is a solution to something that may make some people
uncomfortable.
. Mayor Andren said that rehashing public hearings from Planning
Commission should not happen. She said people that vote for the Council
do need to have time to talk to City Councilmembers about their issues.
