Memorandum
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Date: October 26, 2020
Subject: Credit River Township Incorporation Request for Support
Earlier this year, officials from Credit River Township asked the city to pass a resolution of
support for their petition to incorporate as a city. As a neighboring jurisdiction, we were
notified of their intent to do this as required by state statute.
The township will be having a hearing with a State of Minnesota Administrative Law Judge on
November 16th. Credit River Township has indicated that they have received resolutions of
support from all other neighboring jurisdictions.
Practically, there is little impact to Lakeville if Credit River Township becomes a city. It would
limit our ability to annex property (or at least make it more difficult) but it does not impact our
city operations.
Attached is a draft resolution that they are requesting. This item is being brought to a work
session after it was briefly discussed at an earlier council meeting.
