OTHER BUSINESS
Chief Gannaway gave his staff report, as he would not be present at the 7 p.m. meeting
due to National Night Out. The Chief highlighted his Lumberjack Days report.
Councilmembers commented that the number of incidents did not seem
disproportionate given the number of people in town for the events of that weekend.
Chief Gannaway also informed the Council that his department would be conducting a
citizen's academy Sept. 5-Oct. 24 and he invited all Councilmembers to attend. Some
topics to be covered in the academy include crime prevention, patrol procedures and
tactics, DWI enforcement, use of force and firearms, investigations and evidence, and
narcotics. Chief Gannaway said the academy provides many hands-on opportunities,
including ride-alongs with officers. Chief Gannaway briefly highlighted some of the
activities planned for National Night Out. Councilmember Polehna suggested that in the
future, consideration be given to moving the Council meeting/budget session that falls
on National Night Out so there can be more Council participation in the events/activities.
Budget Workshop
Mayor Harycki asked Councilmembers if they had any items they would like included in
the budget. Mayor Harycki said he would like consideration given to hiring a parks
director and cleaning the former Myrtle Street dumpsite; he also noted there had been
discussion regarding web cast. Mayor Harycki also said he would like to minimize any
increase in spending. Councilmembers Polehna and Gag both said they had specific
items they would like to see included in the budget, but said they would like to see
where the budget stands before discussing those items. Councilmember Milbrandt
suggested looking at the citizen survey for guidance in prioritizing expenditures.
City Council Meeting - 07-17
Fire
August 7, 2007
Chief Glaser reviewed his budget proposal. He stated the three main items affecting the
department are the continued growth, expansion of the city, staff and technology issues,
and he highlighted data related to those three items. Regarding the personnel request
(2 FTE on a 53-hour schedule), he noted Stillwater had received a SAFER grant from
FEMA, the only city in the state to receive that grant award, to assist the City in meeting
recognized staffing standards. There was discussion about the staffing of other cities;
Mayor Harycki asked that there be a comparison of a metro-area city of comparable
size, such as Anoka. Also during discussion, it was noted that the SAFER grant is a
five-year grant, at which time the City will be fully responsible for the salaries of any new
personnel. Chief Glaser listed possible sources of revenue, including fire code
enforcement fees and emergency response fees. There was discussion about the
budget for training and education; Chief Glaser explained the change in the Fire Fighter
I and II training, which is now provided by the community college system, and class fees
have increased. Councilmember Milbrandt asked for a comparison of the operating
budgets of the comparable-size cities used in the staffing comparison; Mayor Harycki
asked for a comparison of metro-area cities as well. Councilmember Milbrandt asked if
there are any options regarding the $7,000 expenditure for the 800 MHz radio system;
Chief Glaser stated there are no options - it is a decision that has been made by
Washington County.
Chief Glaser also addressed several of the capital outlay requests. Mayor Harycki
asked for information on the per unit cost of the radio pagers. Councilmember Polehna
noted that not all of the money budgeted for the fire station site study was expended
and asked how much would be left for this year's budget. Chief Glaser said about
$15,000 was unspent. Chief Glaser talked about the potential sites for a new fire station
and his request for funds to preserve options of two sites owned by private developers.
MIS/Administration/Plant-City Hall
MIS Specialist Holman reviewed her budget request. She said most of her request is
similar to last year's budget. She noted that there is a request for about $3,500 for staff
training due to upgrading to Office 2007. Ms. Holman explained that for capital requests,
she reviews the technology requests from all departments and she submits the
technology budget for each department. Ms. Holman highlighted the expenditure
requests. Mayor Harycki questioned expenditure for a digital camera for Community
Development; Community Development Director Turnblad pointed out the City is
implementing an Heirloom/Landmark Homes program that requires taking photos of
document quality. Councilmember Milbrandt asked for information about the library's
request for $19,000 for computer replacement, noting that a lot of replacement has
been done for the last three years.

City Council Meeting - 07-17
August 7, 2007
Director of Administration Knauss stated there are not a lot of changes in the
Administration budget request from last year. Mayor Harycki questioned the amount for
cellular phones; Ms. Knauss said she could look at that item. Ms. Holman explained the
difference in the various departmental requests and costs for cell phones. Mayor
Harycki asked about the increase in general supplies for City Hall. Ms. Knauss
explained the increase in general supplies was for energy-saving fluorescent bulbs; she
also explained the building repair request is a "best guess" as to possible needs. Ms.
Knauss reviewed the Elections budget and the need for additional judges for the 2008
Elections.
Community Development/Building Inspections
Community Development Director Turnblad pointed out that Planning and Building
Inspections Departments represent a flat line on the operational side of the budget
primarily due to professional services for the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Harycki
questioned the disparity in the departmental requests for gas costs. Councilmember
Milbrandt noted that given the slowness of building activity, one would expect minimal
increase in that departmental budget. Mr. Turnblad pointed out that while revenues are
down; time spent on inspections, etc. for remodeling projects is up. There was
discussion about the possibility of increasing fees for remodeling inspections.
Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that all departmental requests for
seminar/conference fees need to be scaled back to the very minimal; Councilmember
Nyberg suggested that should include the Council as well.
Councilmember Milbrandt asked Chief Glaser about an item on the evening Consent
Agenda, whether the Police and Fire Departments are made aware when a request for
a road closure has been granted and the start and stop times for the closure. Chief
Glaser responded in the affirmative.

Curt Newcomb -Veterans Memorial Committee -July 4. 2008 event
Curt Newcomb, chair of the Veterans Memorial Board of Directors, said in conjunction
with the July 4, 2008, activities, the Veterans Memorial Board would like to sponsor an
orchestra concert in Lowell Park accompanied by cannon firing. Mr. Newcomb said the
thought is that the final cannon volley could coincide with the beginning of the fireworks
display. He said he was seeking Council approval to work with city staff to obtain the
appropriate permits, insurance, etc. Mr. Newcomb also informed the Council that the
Veterans Committee would be holding its annual fund-raising cruise on Aug. 20. He
noted that this year, the Committee would be selling tickets to businesses and
individuals to donate to returning or serving Iraq service members and their families.
Mayor Harycki asked if Mr. Newcomb had spoken with Dave Eckberg, St. Croix Events,
regarding the plans for the July 4 event. Mr. Newcomb said Mr. Eckberg is aware of the
plans. Councilmember Polehna said Mr. Eckberg has indicated the music/cannons
might be able to be incorporated into the fireworks display. Councilmember Polehna
noted that concept approval is being sought at this time in order to make arrangements
to secure the number of desired cannons; Councilmember Polehna also noted there
might be a possibility of obtaining some Sesquicentennial Celebration grant money to
help pay for the cannons.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to approve
the concept of having the cannon firing as part of the City's 4th of July celebration in
downtown Stillwater.
Update of Minnesota Zephyr Trail -Rick Ahern
Rick Ahern, land acquisition manager for the Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota,
provided a brief history of the Parks and Trails Council, anon-profit group that works
with land acquisition for property that eventually becomes state parks and trails. The
Council works to speed up the process by purchasing and holding the properties until
the state has enough funds available for the purchase and there is no holding charge to
the state. He provided an update of the status of the proposal to obtain the Minnesota
Zephyr trail corridor. He noted that the Legislature in the last session did approve the
Brown's Creek Valley State Trail as an extension of the Gateway Trail and it is now
officially designated as a State Trail. The Parks and Trails Council have entered into a
third-party agreement with the Minnesota DNR for the acquisition, he said. One
appraisal was done in early spring and a second appraisal is nearing completion, he
noted. With the completion of the final appraisal, he said the Council would be able to
finalize a purchase contract with the Minnesota Zephyr owner. He said the Council
hopes to be able to make an announcement and press event relating to the purchase
agreement within the next 30 days. Mr. Ahern asked for the City's assistance in making
arrangements for the press event. He said they anticipate this will be one of the most
significant trail corridors in the state of Minnesota -initial estimates by the DNR are that
the trail could bring as many as 200,000 visitors to the city of Stillwater in the first year
of the trail's operation. The trail corridor itself can be developed and operational very

quickly, he noted, and could be usable for limited uses by next spring. He noted that
Washington County has approved a $1 million grant for acquisition of the trail. Mr.
Ahern said the Council would be doing fund-raising and events to raise holding cost
funds; he stated it is anticipated the DNR will purchase the property from the Council in
the next bonding cycle in July of next year. There was a question as to how long the
Council could hold the property until state funding becomes available. Mr. Ahern said
the Council would be willing to hold the property for a number of years if necessary. No
action was taken. It was agreed to have Trail Council representatives work with
Administrator Hansen regarding the upcoming press announcement/event. Mr. Ahern
also informed the Council that there is an interested party who would like to have some
one-on-one conversations with the Council and Mr. Hansen regarding possible uses of
the Zephyr depot property.
Louis F. Jambois, Executive Director Association of Metropolitan Communities
Louis Jambois, executive director of the Association of Metropolitan Communities,
explained the role of the Association and the benefits of membership in requesting
Stillwater to join the organization. Councilmember Gag asked about the percentage of
metro-area communities that belong to the Association. Mr. Jambois responded that
about 90 percent of the Twin Cities metro area population is covered in the cities the
Association represents. It was noted that dues ($5860 for Stillwater) are based on
population.
Certificate of Appreciation for service on Planning Commission -Bradley Meinke
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt
Resolution 2007-149, Certificate of Appreciation for Bradley Meinke who served on the
Planning Commission.
Mayor Harycki addressed residents' concerns about the condition of the lift bridge in the
aftermath of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis and the reported rating in the
~` newspapers of the Stillwater Bridge. The Mayor assured residents that the lift bridge is
not the worst rated bridge in the state as indicated in some press reports. The Mayor
pointed out even before the bridge collapse, the Council has taken several steps related
to the lift bridge, including a request to ban trucking across the lift bridge. He also noted
that Police Chief Gannaway has been working with the State Patrol to set up a weigh
station and do safety inspections of truck traffic.

August 7, 2007
meeting. The Council can meet on that date, but not between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m.
She asked that the Council consider changing the Nov. 6 meeting to either Oct. 30 or
Nov. 13.
Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to move the
November 6, 2007 meeting to Tuesday, October 30. It was noted Oct. 30 was the fifth
Tuesday of the month, so there would be a two-week break between meetings. All in
favor.

~~ ~ August to another night so Councilmembers can be involved in National Night Out
events.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Gag to hold the first
meeting in August on the second Tuesday in August, rather than the first Tuesday. All
in favor.
Public Works Director Sanders provided an update on the Eagle Ridge project, noting
that if the weather holds, curb and gutter and paving for the entire street should be
completed by the end of the second week in August and that sidewalk construction will
begin after that. Mr. Sanders stated MnDOT has a rehabilitation project planned for the
Highway 36 Bridge over Highway 95, which also has a low rating, to be completed yet
this summer. Mr. Sanders also pointed out that pruning of roots along the Long Lake
trail would encompass the entire trail, 6,000 feet, rather than 600 feet, as indicated in
the Consent Agenda item.
City Administrator Hansen asked if the Council wished to be involved in all requests for
street closures for small events or whether staff could exercise some discretion
regarding approvals. It was consensus to allow staff to use discretion for small events.
Mayor Harycki stated Jennifer Severson, Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, had
inquired about the possibility of Stillwi~ter hosting another car show in conjunction with
Summer Tuesdays. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested in future moving the car show
to another location to help promote other businesses as well as the downtown. The
consensus was to allow staff to review the proposal should the Chamber succeed in
arranging fdr another car show yet this summer.
CONSENT AGENDA*
Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to approve the
Consent Agenda with the correction to Item No. 9, root pruning of 6,000 feet, noted by Public
Works Director Sanders. Councilmember Polehna suggested that the request for the St. Croix
Harvest Festival should go before the Park Board, however due to the time involved, it was
agreed to approve the Harvest Festival request at this time, but indicated future requests
should go before the Park & Recreation Commission before coming to the Council.

plans at its Aug. 13 meeting, he said. Depending on the outcome of the Watershed
District review, the final plat could come back before the Council rather quickly or in
several months. Because action has been delayed for several months, Mr. Turnblad

Community Development Director Turnblad provided an update on the Comprehensive
Plan process. He stated the first phase of the process has been concluded with the
completion of the background reports. The second phase of the five-phase process is
under way, he stated. The first part of the second phase, the visioning sessions, has
been completed. The next part of the second phase will be setting goals, policies and
programs to start implementing the achievable visions. Results of the visioning sessions

Council for consideration in October.
Request to use LiI~Y Lake Park -Exceed Hockey
Scott Meyer, Exceed Hockey, provided an overview of the 10-week camp Exceed
Hockey would like to run at Lily Lake. He stated the intent is for the camp to utilize parts
of the park -baseball field, parking lot and beach area - as well as the ice arena. He
said he understood there are plans to resurface the Lily Lake parking area in 2008 and
requested consideration be given to either doing the resurfacing before the beginning of
the camp or waiting until after the camp has concluded. Doug Brady, manager of the St.
Croix Valley Rec Center, noted the Lily Lake arena equipment, including compressor, is
getting very old. Mr. Brady suggested revenue from the camp might offset some of the
cost to replace the aging equipment, which the City will likely have to incur in the near
Page 9 of 12
City Council Meeting - 07-17
August 7, 2007
future. Scott Meyer also pointed out that there might be the possibility for additional
revenue by renting the ice during the evenings during the length of the camp. Mr. Meyer
also noted that he would be looking to employ students from the local hockey
association as part of the coaching staff. He also stated he would be looking to
collaborate with local businesses to provide scholarships for campers unable to pay.
When asked about the number of participants, Mr. Meyer stated they believe they can
accommodate between 80 and 120 youths who would be broken up into four groups.
Councilmember Milbrandt said he thought there should be additional conversations with
Doug Brady and Mr. Sanders, as well as Chief Gannaway regarding traffic issues.
Councilmember Polehna said he thought the proposal represented some real benefits
for the kids in the area. He said his one concern was with the chiller system at Lily Lake
but noted this might be an opportunity to realize some replacement costs for the
equipment. Councilmember Polehna also spoke of the potential for night ice rental and
said he favored the concept. Several Councilmembers noted that the Lily Lake complex
is not heavily used in the daytime hours. Councilmember Polehna said he would like to
see staff, including Mr. Brady, Mr. Sanders and Chief Gannaway, come back with a
recommendation to the Council. Councilmember Milbrandt said he would like to see
more details regarding restroom facilities and trash pickup. Councilmembers also asked
Mr. Brady for some projections regarding the cost of operating Lily Lake arena and
projections for night ice rental. No action was taken.
Possible appointment to Planning Commission
City Clerk Ward noted that the Planning Commission interview committee met July 25
and is recommending the appointment of Taylor Luke to fill the unexpired term of Brad
Meinke.
Councilmember Milbrandt noted there were a number of strong candidates and spoke of
Mr. Luke's experience and education. Councilmember Gag said he thought the new
interview process works well.

2007-150, appointing member to the Planning Commission.

2007-151, appointing member to Human Rights Commission.

Possible adoption of resolution amending Resolution No. 2004-188 relating to issuance of a
taxable tax increment revenue note -Territorial Springs, LLC project
City Administrator Hansen explained this measure was for the protection of
bondholders, extending the tender date of the first note to coincide with the tender date
of the second note. This action also amends the interest rate from 7 percent to 7.25
percent, he said. On a question by Mayor Harycki, Administrator Hansen said there
would be no exposure to the City by extending this tender date.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Gag to adopt Resolution
2007-152, a resolution amending Resolution No. 2004-188, a resolution awarding the sale of
and providing the form, terms, covenants and directions for the issuance of a Taxable Tax
Increment Revenue Note (Territorial Springs, LLC Project), Series 2004.

Possible first reading of ordinance establishing minimum standards for construction and
reconstruction of driveways
City Administrator Hansen stated that a number of residents in the community had
received substandard work on their driveways, a situation brought to staff's attention by
Councilmember Polehna. Public Works Director Sanders subsequently developed a
proposed ordinance establishing standards for driveways. Councilmember Polehna,
seconded by Councilmember Nyberg, moved to have the first reading and spoke of a
number of residents in his Ward that have experienced problems with their driveways,
problems the contractor won't fix, and he said this ordinance is a way to protect
residents from future problems. Councilmember Milbrandt asked if other communities
~' have such- requirements; he also questioned whether the requirements might be
excessive and costly to homeowners. Mr. Sanders said these are recommended
industry standards. Mr. Sanders noted that the ordinance before the Council was
missing some language on compaction that Councilmember Polehna had asked to be
covered. In discussion, it was noted there is no permitting or inspection process for
driveways, so there is no enforcement of the standards. Administrator Hansen pointed
out that the standards would give a homeowner a mechanism for seeking damages
from a contractor who did not abide by the standards. Councilmembers Polehna and
Gag agreed to withdraw the motion for the first reading.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to table
consideration and bring the proposal back with the additional language regarding compaction
and frost heaving and additional information regarding what other communities are doing. All in
favor.
