OTHER BUSINESS
City Code Revisions
City Attorney Land reviewed code revisions in areas of parks & rec, streets, traffic, utilities,
building & construction, park dedication fees, site plan review, as well as finalizing sections
such as the parking tax, self-propelled devices, food trucks, hotel licensing, and parking in
the front yard. She added that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the zoning
ordinance amendments. No one from the public commented. Following the public hearing,
the Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendments, except for the
decision-making authority chart. Once the final revisions are made, she will present the
entire code to Council for official adoption later this fall.
Manitou Fund/Zephyr Proposed Parking Lot Lease Documents
Ms. Land explained that in 2005, the City entered into a lease agreement with Zephyr
Theatre to allow it to use the City’s parking lot on the north side of the building. In April
2020, the City terminated the lease with the required one-year notice. The Manitou Fund
has now purchased the property and is leasing it to River Grove School (K-6). The City
approved an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for the use of the property as a school, as well as for
the Zephyr Theatre for performances, for up to two years (through July 31, 2025). One of
the conditions of approval was for a bus drop off/pick up zone located in the north parking
lot, as it was determined to be the safest place to avoid the intersection of parent drop-off
and bus drop-off zones. This north parking lot is the same City parking lot previously leased
by the Zephyr, therefore, a new lease agreement is required. The parking lot is in poor shape.
It was proposed that the lease payment would be the requirement that the Manitou Fund
improve the parking lot to the City’s specifications. The anticipated cost of the
improvements is approximately $100,000. Due to the investment in the improvement, the
(Stillwater ~~

City Council Meeting July 5, 2023
Page 2 of 5
Manitou Fund has requested a semi-exclusive lease for 15 years (about $6,600/year). The
school will need exclusive use of the parking lot for its bus loading zone during the day for
the school year. Manitou Fund also anticipates the Zephyr Theatre will need exclusive use
for shows and events on nights and weekends. The City needs to have access for public
parking for events and weekends in the summer. To that end, Manitou Fund incorporated
specific dates/events when the north parking lot can be used by the general public on a first-
come first-served basis. Ms. Land requested the Council review the proposed lease.
Mayor Kozlowski pointed out the school is only going to be there a few years. He is not in
favor of a 15-year lease, and feels that $6,000 a year is far too low; the $100,000 to improve
it does not come close to fair price for them to use it for 15 years. The priority for that lot
and the undeveloped lot to the north is providing parking for Lumberjack Landing park
when developed.
Councilmember Junker stated he would recommend accommodating the school for the next
two to four years, but not a 15-year agreement. Additionally, the limited amount of access
for public parking as proposed by Manitou Fund is way too restrictive.
Sarah Zach, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, representing the Manitou Fund, acknowledged the
Council’s concern about the proposed term of the lease. She shared her client’s need to
correlate the lease term to the amount of their investment. She also asked the City’s
willingness to provide good policing and cleanup of the lot after public events.
Public Works Director Sanders replied the City will provide the same level of maintenance
as in other public lots.
Councilmember Junker brought up the eight car show events that have exclusive use of the
parking lot on Wednesday nights. For the last couple years the lot has remained open till 3
p.m. At 2 or 2:30 p.m. when school buses come back, there may be cars in the lot which could
impede the bus traffic.
Ms. Zach replied the primary concern is making sure the school can comply with the IUP,
get buses in and out, and the safety of the children. She will discuss the Council’s issues and
concerns with the Manitou Fund.
Strategic Plan
City Administrator Kohlmann presented a draft of the 2023 Strategic Plan.
Motion by Councilmember Odebrecht, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to accept the
Strategic Plan. All in favor.
Veterans Memorial Snow Removal
Mr. Kohlmann stated that the Stillwater Veterans Memorial is asking to transfer
snowplowing maintenance of the Riverview lot back to the City. Cub agrees and would like
snowplowing to be done by the City. He added that Public Works Director Sanders has stated
that the City could take this on, however shoveling of the sidewalks, specifically the walkway
to the Cub offices, may be an issue. Lease language should be updated.
City Attorney Land agreed to revise the lease language for further review by the Council.

SUBJECT: Agreement for Contract Services with Johnson Junk for Abatement
Services
BACKGROUND
The City has a current contract with a local vendor to abate Long Grass Complaints.
However, the City is in need of a vendor to abate other public nuisance violations such
as property cleanup. Within that aspect of abatement, items with no value may be
disposed via solid waste management while items of value must be stored for a
specified period of time to allow for owner retrieval before they are considered
abandoned and may be disposed of. Johnson Junk has agreed to provide services for
junk disposal via solid waste, but is unable to perform hauling and storage. Staff
continues to search for vendors willing to perform this hauling and storage portion of our
abatement program. Below is a summary of necessary abatement services and current
contract status.

FROM: Tim Gladhill, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Chestnut Street Right of Way Use during Chestnut Street Plaza Project
BACKGROUND
The City was approached by Tianna Nelson of Tossed, a new restaurant at 224
Chestnut Street E regarding the potential use of parking stalls on Chestnut Street (west
of Main Street) while closed for final completion of the Chestnut Street Plaza for outdoor
sales. Essentially, this could be similar to how the space was used during COVID
restrictions, but on a more limited basis only (parking stalls only, not entire roadway).
Blue Line = Chestnut Street ROW
Red Line = Limits of Encroachment
Staff has prepared a potential action that would allow temporary installations on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to ensure
these do not become more permanent fixtures and do not conflict with weekday
construction activities (and other delivery needs in Chestnut Street). Due to liquor
licensing and the need for more permanent seating installations, Staff would not
illwater
recommend extending this opportunity to local restaurants, given the limited timeframe
(6-8 weeks).
Staff would recommend the standard parking stall reservation fee ($9/day/stall) as an
appropriate fee for use of these public spaces, given its temporary nature. Any business
adjacent to these stalls could extend their storefront (while keeping sidewalk
unobstructed). Items could include additional signage, racks, temporary tables/chairs,
etc. The intent is to draw additional visibility to offset obstructions from construction
activity, fencing, and signage, etc.
In anticipation of future and additional requests, Staff did also reach out to MnDOT
about the potential of the same on Main Street (Trunk Highway 95). Unfortunately, State
Statutes will not allow the same use in this location.
ACTION REQUESTED
Based on discussion.

DATE: July 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Kori Land, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Adult Use Cannabis Regulations – Moratorium and Prohibition on Public
Property
BACKGROUND
The City enacted CBD regulations for licensing and zoning in 2022, which authorized up
to 3 retail establishments to sell CBD products (now identified as “low potency cannabis”).
The city issued all three licenses (2 tobacco shops in the Business Park and the CBD
House in the Downtown Business District) and there are no licenses available at this time.
In 2023, the legislature enacted a law legalizing Adult Use Cannabis, which includes the
regulations of CBD products. However, the Office of Cannabis Management, which will
be the regulatory agency responsible for licensing all cannabis, will not be ready to issue
any licenses for these businesses until approximately January 2025. That means that the
City’s regulations are still active and enforceable.
However, there is much confusion in the public about what can and can’t be
manufactured, grown, purchased, possessed, sold, and used right now due to the
numerous “effective dates” in the legislation. In order to pause the expansion of any
CBD products or other the mistaken belief that Adult Use Cannabis products can be
purchased or sold right now, we recommend adopting an interim ordinance temporarily
prohibiting the establishment of new cannabis uses as well as the expansion of existing
ones.
The current CBD-licensed businesses may continue to operate, but they may not expand.
And they would not be allowed to sell any product over the low potency dose of .3% THC
that is in the existing ordinance.
In addition, while the new law authorizes the use of Adult Use Cannabis by those over 21
years of age – at this time, it is only allowed on private property with the permission of the
owner. To emphasize that it is not allowed on public property, the law authorizes cities
to enforce violations of use on public property by making it a petty misdemeanor. We are
recommending that the Council consider this additional ordinance, which makes use of
Adult-Use Cannabis on public property a petty misdemeanor.
If approved for First Reading, we will schedule a public hearing on August 2 for the Final
Reading of the Interim Ordinance. The Prohibition on Public Use ordinance does not
require a public hearing, but the Second Reading will be scheduled at the same time.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the First Reading of the Interim Ordinance Prohibiting the Establishment of New
Uses or the Expansion of Existing Uses related to Cannabis Businesses AND the
Ordinance Prohibiting Cannabis Use Within Public Property and Public Places
City of Stillwater
Washington County, Minnesota
ORDINANCE NO. ___________
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
NEW USES OR THE EXPANSION OF EXISTING USES RELATED TO CANNABIS
BUSINESSES
The City Council of Stillwater does ordain:
WHEREAS, during the 2023 legislative session, the Minnesota Legislature passed a
package of laws, Chapter 63—H.F.No.100 of the Minnesota 2023 Regular Session, that
legalize adult-use cannabis in Minnesota and establish a regulatory framework for the
cannabis industry (collectively “2023 Cannabis Laws”); and
WHEREAS, as a part of the 2023 Cannabis Laws, the Office of Cannabis
Management (“OCM”) was created with responsibilities that include issuing licenses for
cannabis businesses and drafting and approving the related rules and procedures; and
WHEREAS, Minn. Stat. § 342.10, part of the 2023 Cannabis Laws, lists 16 different
types of cannabis business licenses, including licenses for the growing, manufacturing,
selling, testing, transporting of cannabis and cannabis events (“Cannabis Business
Licenses”); and
WHEREAS, OCM will not be prepared to issue Cannabis Business Licenses until
approximately January 2025 and many details related to the Cannabis Business Licenses are
yet to be determined; and
WHEREAS, the OCM has also been tasked with developing model ordinances for
local governments for reasonable restrictions on time, place and manner of the operation of
a cannabis business, the forms and procedures for the retail registration required by local
governments, and the model policies and procedures for cannabis business compliance
checks; it is unclear when those documents can be expected; and
WHEREAS, the 2023 Cannabis Laws includes a provision, Minn. Stat. § 342.13(e),
that authorizes the City to adopt an interim ordinance to regulate, restrict, or prohibit the
operation of a cannabis business within the City until January 1, 2025, for the purpose of
conducting studies or holding a hearing to consider adoption of reasonable restrictions on the
time, place and manner of the operation of a cannabis business to protect the planning
process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed interim ordinance
on August 2, 2023; and
WHEREAS, the Stillwater City Council has determined that an interim ordinance to
prohibit the operation of a cannabis business is necessary and appropriate to give City Staff
the time to study reasonable restrictions on the time, place and manner of the operation of
cannabis retail businesses to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare
of its citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 342.13(e):
The City Council of the City of Stillwater does ordain:
SECTION 1. NEW CANNABIS BUSINESSES PROHIBITED. No business, person or entity

occurs first.
SECTION 2. EXISTING CBD BUSINESSES. Businesses, persons or entities that have an
existing CBD license from the City pursuant to City Code Section 41-10 are authorized to

SECTION 3. CONDUCT STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION. City Staff is directed to
conduct a study to gather information, analyze the model ordinances and policies from the

reasonable restrictions on the time, place and manner of the operation of cannabis retail
businesses.
SECTION 4. SUMMARY PUBLICATION. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 412.191, in the
case of a lengthy ordinance, a summary may be published. While a copy of the entire
ordinance is available without cost at the office of the City Clerk, the following summary is
approved by the City Council and shall be published in lieu of publishing the entire ordinance:
The City will be undergoing a study regarding cannabis businesses to
determine if regulations are appropriate. No business, person or entity may
open and operate a new cannabis business or expand an existing cannabis or
CBD business that would require a Cannabis Business License under the 2023
Cannabis Laws until the City adopts regulations regarding these uses, or
determines no regulations are necessary and rescinds the interim ordinance or
until January 1, 2025, whichever occurs first.
SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE AND EXPIRATION DATE. This ordinance shall be in full
force and effect from and after its passage and publication according to law and shall expire
upon adoption of ordinances regulating such uses, until the Council rescinds or terminates

RESOLUTION 2023‐096
STILLWATER HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD GIVEN TO
WILL ANTELL
Whereas, the Stillwater Human Rights Commission requested nominations for the 2023 Stillwater
Human Rights Award; and
Whereas, Will Antell was nominated for the creativity of his ideas and his enduring leadership in
advancing education and self-determination opportunities for Native Americans; and
Whereas, Education is key to achieving all other human rights. It gives dignity to individuals and
affirmation of their self-worth, reduces poverty, decreases social inequalities, and empowers
marginalized people; and
Whereas, Mr. Antell’s objectives were (1) to provide educational experiences for all Native
American children so that they would develop pride and dignity in their ancestry and lead productive
and meaningful lives; (2) to help Native American parents in developing their career skills; and (3) to
give school personnel training so they would be more sensitive to the needs of Native American youth.;
and
Whereas, Mr. Antell’s efforts and impact during his tenure as a Presidential appointee on the
National Advisory Council on Indian Education and throughout his life, are far-reaching and ongoing. He
enabled the creation of a unique Native American constituency in school districts and government, as
evidenced by Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb
Haaland, and ten U.S. Congresspeople representing Native Americans, Native Alaskans, and Hawaiian
Natives; and
Whereas, Will and Mary Lou Antell endowed the Bernice Lena Fairbanks Antell American Indian
Scholarship at Bemidji State University so that future Native American students would have the
opportunity to earn a college degree.; and
Whereas, Mr. Antell was a motivating role model for many Stillwater students and athletes.
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, the 2023
Human Rights Award is presented to Will Antell in appreciation of his outstanding leadership and
dedication to human rights, and is hereby commended for those efforts.

grow 19% by 2042. In 2021, the metro’s recycling rate dropped to 45%, a 4%
reduction from the previous year, and short of the state’s goal of achieving a 75%
recycling rate by 2030.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is inviting residents of Ramsey and
Washington Counties to learn about our 70 recommendations for reducing waste
across the Twin Cities. Join us on Thursday, July 27, from 4-5:30 pm at the Sun
