    As expected, the Eden Prairie City Council on Tuesday, Aug. 15, approved a cooperative agreement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources that will have the DNR replacing the aging fishing pier on Staring Lake’s north side.

    Under the formal agreement, the DNR will fund and deliver the fishing pier, and the City of Eden Prairie will install and maintain it. A city staff memo reports that the DNR has identified the Staring Lake pier as being in the worst condition among surveyed cooperative fishing piers in the metro area. As a result, it was prioritized by the state agency.

    The fishing pier, located near the Staring Lake Outdoor Center, was installed in 1988 and repaired in 2009, according to city staff, but has reached the end of its life.

    The DNR agreement was one of a number of city council items Tuesday that were approved in one motion without discussion.
