Prior Lake mayor and council report on events; Rotary Club donates $200,000 for lakefront parks
Summary
At the July 14 Prior Lake council meeting the mayor described a visit to Minnetonka Police Department's drone program, the city manager announced a canceled Planning Commission meeting, and the mayor publicly thanked the Rotary Club for a $200,000 gift earmarked for lakefront park improvements. Council members also reported on recent community events.
The Prior Lake City Council heard liaison reports and local announcements at its July 14 meeting, including a mayoral report about a police drone demonstration and a publicized donation from the Rotary Club for lakefront parks.
Council member Ethan Hellyer said he and Mayor Briggs attended the League of Minnesota Cities annual conference June 23–25; Hellyer noted he "had the privilege of judging on the boat parade" and thanked participants. Council member Lake reported attending an EDA meeting and an agenda review; Council member Churchill said the music festival was well attended and family-focused.
Mayor Briggs described a visit with Manager Woodell and Chief Duggan to the Minnetonka Police Department to observe a drone first-response program, calling the visit "very enlightening." The mayor also said he and Manager Woodell met with community members July 8.
In remarks of local fundraising and support, the mayor thanked the Rotary Club for a "generous magnanimous gift of $200,000 to the city" to make improvements in lakefront parks. The transcript spells the city name once as "Prairie Lake"; the correct municipality is Prior Lake, and this article uses the verified spelling.
Manager Woodell also announced that the July 20 Planning Commission meeting had been canceled due to a lack of business items.
The meeting proceeded without votes on the reports; councilors' remarks were brief and primarily informational. The council adjourned at 7:06 p.m.
