Downtown Proiect Update
Community Development Director Russell provided background information and update
on the various downtown plan projects currently being worked on by staff. He stated
that since the Downtown Plan was adopted by the City in 1984 the following downtown
actions include the Downtown Revitalization Project (1990 - $8 million); Levee Project
(1994-2000, Phase I & II); Parking improvements and management (1995-2003, +400
spaced added and improved); site purchase and revitalization of Lumber Barons, Maple
Island, Territorial Prison, Junior High School, UBC site, Lowell Park Extension and
railroad land purchase; addition specific plans prepare for Lowell Park Park (1995) Aiple
Property Park Plan (2000) and Territorial Prison Reuse study and Trail Plan (2000).
Mr. Russell also reviewed the major projects currently under study by the City which
includes the Territorial Prison, railroad right-of-way purchases for river trail system, Main
Street Plaza with connection to Lowell Park, parking structures at Water Street,
Second/Olive Streets, redevelopment of old UBC lumber yard site, Phase III of the flood
projection levee wall which needs federal funds, Lowelll Park improvements and Aiple
Property Park improvement coordinated with T.H. 36 bridge construction.
Mr. Russell stated that two projects currently under consideration need Council review
and direction to continue the process. He stated that the projects are the Armory Reuse
Study and Arts/Cultural Center study and the Water Street parking structure/flood
control project. He stated that the Metropolitan Council awarded the City a $50,000
grant to perform the reuse study of the armory and that a study would provide actual
condition of the building to use in building purchase negotiations. He also stated that
staff has met with Short, Elliott and Henderson, who prepared the flood project plan for
the Corps of Engineers and Lowell Park Plans for the City and they have submitted a
study proposal which could result in plans that could be part of the Phase III levee wall
project and coordinated with the parking structure construction.
Mayor Kimble asked Mr. Russell if the parking structures would add significantly more
parking than what the City would lose if the Main Street Plaza were constructed.
'\.1, :'"
Mr. Russell stated that was correct, it would probably add 50-60 parking spaces. He
stated that the parking structures need to be studied because the Historic Preservation
Commission and Maple Island tenants have concerns on the structure.
Councilmember Milbrandt asked if the Met Council grant allows for the study of the
reuse of the armory as well as an arts/cultural survey of the community and is there a
time limit on the grant.
Mr. Russell stated that the reuse and survey is allowable by the grant. He stated that
typically it is a two-year time limit on the grant.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated he liked the idea of the study. He stated that in
relation to the downtown plan would be to maybe sell City land for a Hilton or Radisson
and generate tax revenues to help with the Library expansion or other areas. He also
stated that he has concern about the revitalization of the Armory in that it will cost more
Page 2 of 14
City Council Meeting Minutes
February 4, 2003
than it is worth to restore the property, lacks significant historical value, the businesses
in this building probably will not last. He would like to see some alternative plans.
Mayor Kimble stated that a study was done on the armory in 1983, that maybe this
study could be updated and would be less expensive to update. He also stated at that
time it was less expensive to rehabilitate.
Councilmember Junker stated that it might be the time to revisit the idea of the user tax
and small sales tax to tie into the downtown improvements. He also stated that some of
the study done by the committee could be used to help with this issue.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated he would like to see different scenarios instead of
being locked into a 2002 idea when times or needs might change.
Councilmember Kriesel stated that he doesn't like the idea of selling City property
downtown. He stated that the modernization of the downtown area is against the
historic nature of the community.
Mayor Kimble stated that it is prudent to revisit and update the downtown plan.
Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Rheinberger
authorizing staff to use the $50,000 Metropolitan Council grant for the study of the reuse
of the Armory and update the downtown plan. All in favor.
liQuor License ReQuests Information
City Clerk Ward reviewed the possible liquor license applicants for the remaining liquor
licenses within the City. She stated that new licenses require a public hearing and
would be asking the Council to set public hearings at a future meeting.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that the Council should have a workshop to discuss
guidelines prior to setting the public hearing.
Councilmember Rheinberger asked about the mechanics of requesting liquor licenses
from the legislature.
Mayor Kimble reviewed the process for requesting liquor licenses at the legislative level.
He also stated that this avenue is an expensive process at approximately $10,000 in
lobbyist costs.
Councilmember Junker agreed with Councilmember Milbrandt that a workshop should
be held to discuss this issue.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Councilmember Junker to discuss liquor
licenses at a workshop on February 18 or March 4. All in favor.

Decision on lobbyist
City Administrator Hansen reviewed the information for a lobbyist and asked for
direction on the whether or not to hire a lobbyist.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated he is against the hiring of a lobbyist. He stated that
in this economic time there is no money to get and that the City should use its
legislators rather than a lobbyist.
Mayor Kimble reviewed the history why the City hired a lobbyist for the City. He stated
that prior to hiring a lobbyist the mayors, council and staff tried to get legislation passed
and the results were zero. He stated that since the lobbyist was hired, millions of
dollars have come to the City and projects that would have never happened became a
reality because the City used the expertise of someone in the lobbyist field. He also
stated that the City has not spent lobbying dollars that did not result in significant gains
to the City.
Mayor Kimble stated that the decision is not to determine whether or not money will be
expended because that was determined during the budget process which money was
reduced, but to determine who will be the lobbyist for the City in 2003.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated he was in favor of using Legislative Associates for
2003 for the projects outlined in his proposal.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that he would like to take his prospective share of
the $35,000, approximately $7,000 and put it into his ward to have something tangible
to show for it. He stated that he felt that the money to be obtained by a lobbyist just is
not available.
Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger to take $7,000 of the $35,000 of the lobbyist budget
and use it for a project in Ward 2. Motion failed for lack of second.
Councilmember Junker asked if it would be better to have joint collaboration by two
lobbyists.
City Administrator Hansen stated that there is not a large amount of money available to
split between the lobbyists and recommended that the money be spent on one lobbyist.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Kriesel approving the
expenditure for the lobbyist.
Ayes: Councilmember Kriesel, Milbrandt, Junker, and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmember Rheinberger
Councilmember Kriesel asked what Mr. Cain is lobbying for and is it the lobbyist views
that determine the betterment of Stillwater.
Page 4 of 14
City Council Meeting Minutes
February 4, 2003
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that Mr. Cain's proposal included four projects to work
on the federal level.
Councilmember Kriesel stated that he would like a defined goal from the lobbyist. He
stated that he could see definite merit in using Mr. Campbell.
Mayor Kimble stated that Mr. Cain has to come before Council for approval on the
projects he would lobby for.
Mayor Kimble provided a history of the lobbyist efforts in relation to the levee wall, which
is three-phase project.
Councilmember Kriesel stated that it is his understanding that once the levee wall funds
are obtained it doesn't mean that Legislative Associates automatically is retained as the
City's lobbyist. He stated he would like to see Mr. Campbell lobby for other projects.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that Mr. Campbell has offered his services to lobby for
funding for the North Hill project.
Mayor Kimble provided the history of Mr. Campbell's services in relation to the North Hill
funding that was approved last year and vetoed by the governor. He stated that Mr.
Campbell has provided tremendous assistance to try to obtain that funding this year and
is doing a wonderful job.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that it was his understanding that Mr. Cain would work
on the Levee Wall and armory at the federal level and nothing at the State level.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that the location of the proposed armory would
probably not work for security purposes and that the city would have to come up with
money if it were ever approved.
Mayor Kimble stated that the City has provided land for the armory.
Motion by Councilmember Kriesel, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger directing
Legislative Associates, Mr. Ed Cain to work on the levee and the armory at the federal level.
Ayes: Councilmember Kriesel, Milbrandt, Junker, and Mayor Kimble
Nays: Councilmember Rheinberger
