OTHER BUSINESS
Library Project Update
Bill Hickey, president of the Library Board of Trustees, was present for the monthly
project update. He said work is progressing nicely with the form work for the walls going
up. The strip footings are nearly 100 percent complete; the foundation work and walls in
the area of the lobby are completely finished. Schedule-wise, he said the project is in
pretty good shape. Dollar-wise, to date, $3,452,397 has been committed. Electrical,
mechanical and drywall subcontracts were scheduled to be accepted the first week of
January; he said A&P has done a good job in encouraging local contractors to
pa rtici pate.
Councilmember Junker said he had heard that some neighbors to the north of the
project site had experienced some cracking in their walls. Mr. Hickey said he was
unaware of any such problem and said he would like more information if such a problem
truly exists.
Discussion on 4th of Julv Fireworks - Dave Eckberq
Dave Eckberg presented the Council with a photo of a past fireworks display. He said
the proposal is the same as last year. The display would take place on the 4th of July.
Two orchestras have committed to perform, one in Lowell Park, the other in Pioneer
Park. A fly-by has been requested, but is never confirmed until close to the actual date.
He requested the City's support in the amount of $15,000, the same as contributed for
the past 10 years. Mr. Eckberg also asked that the Council consider making that
contribution as soon as possible in order to take advantage of an offer by Melrose

Pyrotechnics. Councilmember Milbrandt asked about vendor requests to see ..
merchandise in Lowell and Pioneer parks. Mr. Eckberg said such requests are reserveP
for local groups such as the Historical Society, Library Board and other local groups'
fund-raisers.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Polehna to approve the
$15,000 contribution, with the check to be made available as soon as practical. All in favor.
STAFF REPORTS
Police Chief Dauffenbach noted there was a mistake in the memo regarding the
purchase of new squad cars. He said the request is to purchase three squads, and
those funds have been allocated as part of the budget process.
Director of Administration Knauss said the City's share of the State's tobacco settlement
in the amount of $16,000 was received last week. Councilmember Junker suggested it
would be good to remind residents about the new schedule for recycling pickup.
Public Works Director Eckles reported that the railroad people have requested that the
stop sign at Hazel and the railroad tracks remain in place. Technically, he said, a sign is
not required at that location; however, the railroad people have encouraged the City to
keep the sign age as is.
The meeting was recessed at 4:55 p.m.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case No. V/OS-64. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider an appeal of the
Planninq Commission's decision on a request from Lisa Ann Clark for a variance to the Duplex
Residential Zoninq Requlations for a commercial use, therapeutic healinq retail sales home
business located 104 North Owens Street in the RB, Two Family Residential District. Notice
was mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on December
9,2005. (Tabled from December 20,2005 meetinq)
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing.
Ted Gillen, 1011 W. Myrtle St., spoke against the request, citing the potential for
additional traffic in an already high-traffic area and the desire to keep the area
residentially zoned as under the current zoning ordinance.
Lisa Clark, applicant, explained that her request would not have much of an impact as.
regards to traffic. She said she was asking for the lower level of the duplex only to hav
some small level of retail services for products related to therapeutic/well-being
services. She said the level of service would not require a parking lot or many parking
spaces and hours would be limited. She said she understood concerns but said she
didn't think her proposal would have a noticeable impact. She also said she thought she
should have the same opportunity as some of the neighboring properties, such as Len's
Foods and the Just for Me spa/fitness center, which constructed a large addition in
recent years. She also spoke of the condition of the residence, including the fact that
there is no kitchen on the lower level, which makes it difficult to use the space for living
quarters.
AI Roettger, 919 W. Myrtle, spoke against the variance. Mr. Gillen refuted Ms. Clark's
statement regarding the lack of a kitchen.
Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing. Councilmember Harycki said he had door-
knocked in the area and those he spoke with were very concerned about the traffic in
the area and the possibility for more retail use in the neighborhood. Councilmember
Milbrandt agreed with the concern about the existing traffic situation and noted the
proposed use is clearly against City Code; he also said there didn't appear to be any
hardship in that the structure could be used for a residential dwelling. Council members
Junker and Polehna agreed with the concern about the existing traffic situation.

Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Harycki to have a straw
vote to support the Planning Commission's recommendation and deny the variance, directing
the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact.

Case No. SUB/05-70. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider a request from
Georqe I Middleton for a minor subdivision of Lots 35-38, Block 7, Carli and Schulenberq's
Addition located at 1221 North Broadway in the RB, Two Family Residential District. Notice
was mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on December
23,2005.
.
Community Development Director Russell explained the request is to subdivide several
lots totaling 85,480 square feet into four lots, the smallest of which is 14,460 square
feet. The zoning district requires 7,500 square feet. The Planning Commission
recommended approval, he said. The request was presented to the City previously but
put on hold until completion of the North Hill project and the availability of services. The
existing home would remain, with three additional lots recreated by the subdivision.
Councilmember Junker asked about access to the existing house. Councilmember
Harycki asked whether hook-up to services would be required. Public Works Director
Eckles stated that development of new lots would require a hookup charge for the new
lots.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing; no comments were received and the hearing
was closed.
Councilmember Milbrandt noted the subdivision meets all setback requirements and
moved approval. Councilmember Harycki said no adverse comments were received by
neighbors and seconded the motion. Councilmember Junker said he thought this was
the biggest change to a neighborhood of any subdivision requests in the past year and
said he was surprised that there was not an issue with slopes regarding this proposal.
Councilmember Harycki asked if a condition would be added that would require the new
lots to be subject to the pending infill guidelines. Mr. Russell noted no variances are
required, thus there isn't a mechanism for doing so. However, Mr. Russell noted that
this is just a subdivision request and depending on when building permits are applied
for, the new lots could be subject to the infill guidelines if those guidelines have been
adopted by then.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Harycki to adopt
Resolution 2006-10, approval of a minor subdivision of Lots 35-38, Block 7, Carli and
Schulenberg's Addition located at 1221 North Broadway in the RB, Two Family Residential
District (Case No. SUB/05-70.

Case No. SV/05-71. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider a request from.
James and Diane Kleinke and Ande and Muriel Hassis for a street vacation of a portion of
unimproved Holcombe Street abuttinq Lot 5, Blk 9 Thomas, Parker and Mower's Second
Addition. Notice was mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater
Gazette on December 23, 2005.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request; he noted the Council
heard a similar request and a partial vacation was granted previously. He said access to
other lots would not be impacted based on the condition that all the lots owned by the
Kleinkes be combined into one parcel. The Planning Commission reviewed the request
and recommended its approval. City Attorney Magnuson said the street is unusual in
that it is a 30' wide street and is part of the parcel lying to the west; he noted that since
this is a joint petition, it appears the applicants have agreed on how the vacated portion
will be split. Mr. Russell noted the Kleinkes had provided written verification that they
are following through with the condition that the lots be combined.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing. James Kleinke, one of the applicants, clarified
which lots have been combined. No other comments were received and the hearing
was closed.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2006-11, resolution approving street vacation of a portion of unimproved Holcombe Street .

Case No. SUB/05-72. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider a request from
Steve Bremer, 402 Main Street LLC, for a minor subdivision of Lot 3, Block 1 Joseph Wolf
Brewery Addition into one lot of 1,200 square feet located at 402 South Main Street in the
CBD, Central Business District. Notice was mailed to affected property owners and published
in the Stillwater Gazette on December 23. 2005
Community Development Director Russell explained the request is to split off one of the
first-floor retail spaces so the space could be sold. He said there is one condition of
approval, that the request meets all building code requirements. The Planning
Commission reviewed the request and recommended approval.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing; no comments were received, and the hearing
was closed.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Council member Milbrandt, to adopt
Resolution 2006-12, approving a minor subdivision of Lot 3, Block 1 Joseph Wolf Brewery
Addition into one lot of 1,200 square feet located at 402 South Main Street in the CBD, Centre
Business District (Case SUB/05-72) with conditions.

Case No. SUB/05-75. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider a request from
Croix Capital Group for preliminary plat approval for a 20 lot subdivision on 8.0 acres of land in
the Cottaqe Residential District located at 7135-7143 Manninq Avenue. Notice was mailed to
affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on December 23.2005.
Case No. ANN/05-01. This is the date and time for a public hearinq to consider a request from
Croix Capital Group for annexation of 8.0 acres of land located at 7135-7143 Manninq Avenue
zoned Cottaqe Residential into the City of Stillwater "Liberty West". Notice was mailed to
affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on December 23,2005
Community Development Director noted there are five planning reviews related to
"Liberty West." He pointed out that the site is in the Phase 4 annexation area. The
Orderly Annexation Agreement allows owners of properties in the Phase 4 area to
petition for early annexation and the City Council may annex such properties if it deems
appropriate. This site, he noted, is surrounded by the Liberty development. When the
Liberty development was approved, this site was considered regarding road access and
utilities. The development plans, he said, are consistent with what was planned for that
area in terms of land use. The current land use designation is Rural Residential,
consistent with it being in the Township. The proposal is to designate the land Small
Lot, Single Family, the same as the property adjacent to the site to the east in the
Liberty development. To the north is attached, single-family; attached, single-family is
not being requested, he said.
.
It was decided to take action on all five requests after hearing the presentation on the
entire project. Mr. Russell briefly reviewed plans for the 19-1ot development and the site,
Page 7 of 16
City Council Meeting - 06-01
January 3, 2006
which is adjacent to County Road 15 and includes a thick stand of evergreens propos.
to be retained to serve as a highway buffer; preserving the evergreens, he said, will
require installation of a retaining wall. Issues relating to the retaining wall are being
discussed with the developer and Washington County, he said. Another major
resource/constraint is large oak trees which are located on the site; plans include
careful efforts to preserve those trees and incorporate them into the site development.
Some concern was expressed at the Planning Commission, he said, regarding the three
lots to the south boundary line. Originally plans showed a driveway/alley access to
those three lots. Since the Planning Commission and Joint Board meeting, he said the
alley access has been moved so those lots have front access, more of a standard
driveway approach. Regarding park dedication, Mr. Russell said originally the developer
was dedicating Lot C for parks/open space. The Planning Commission and Parks Board
wanted to see more justification as to meeting park dedication requirements. As a
result, one development lot was removed and added to the open space area, as
recommended by the Parks Board, along with a fee of $20,000 in lieu of land
dedication. One additional issue, he said, is that the Water Board would like to look at
this site as a possible location for an additional well. He noted there are 29 conditions of
approval that relate to the subdivision and PUD. The Planning Commission reviewed
the request and recommended approval. The Joint Board also reviewed the request and
recommended approval. The Parks Board recommended approval with the additional
park dedication and fee, he concluded.
City Attorney Magnuson said it would be possible to combine the public hearings. He .
noted that action on the rezoning would be limited at this time to a first reading, since
ordinance changes require two readings. Also, he said there should be an added
condition of approval that there is a development agreement before final plat approval.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearings. Marc Putnam of Putnam Planning,
representing the developer, reviewed plans. He spoke to the efforts made to respond to
the County's plans for Manning Avenue improvements. He briefly reviewed the change
to the plan to accommodate previous concerns regarding the shared alley at the
southern property boundary. He highlighted the significant efforts to preserve existing
trees; he asked that a condition regarding retaining wall placement around several of
the large oaks be modified to help assure the preservation of the trees. He noted plans
have been modified to reflect the Park Board's recommendation that one of the lots be
eliminated; regarding the $20,000 park dedication fee, Mr. Putnam asked that the
$20,000 be obligated to park improvements in the Liberty West area, particularly in the
area surrounding the trees.
Mr. Putnam requested the Council to consider several changes to the conditions of
approval. He asked that language in Condition #19 related to the placement of retaining
walls along the curb be amended to state that final alignment should be coordinated
with preserving trees; Public Works Director Eckles noted the streets have already been
narrowed and there is a concern about snow removal and other engineering issues. Mr.
Eckles also noted there are some safety issues. Mr. Magnuson suggested language: .
However, final alignment shall be coordinated with preserving trees, and in order to
Page 8 of 16
City Council Meeting - 06-01
January 3, 2006
.
avoid adverse impacts on existing, significant trees, the retaining wall be, in this
instance, moved closer to the right-of-way line. Councilmember Milbrandt suggested
from the Park Board's standpoint that the preservation of the significant trees is a
priority and suggested that tree preservation be made an emphasis in any language
change. Mr. Eckles said the discussion would serve as a direction to staff in determining
the final alignment.
Mr. Putnam asked that Condition No. 26 be eliminated, since the driveway in question
has been removed from the plan. He also asked that language be added to Condition
No. 27 indicating that the $20,000 fee be spent on park improvements in the Liberty
West development with Park Board approval. Regarding a possible well location on the
site, Mr. Putnam noted this is one of the tightest and most sensitive areas he had ever
worked on and said he hoped another location could be found. He said they have
offered to work with the Water Board on another location on property owned by this
landowner.
Jeno Johnson, 3667 Planting Green, owner of the property where one of the significant
oaks stands asked that an arborist be consulted in determining the final road alignment
for the entrance to Liberty West. The Council assured Mr. Johnson that would be done.
.
Jeff Doe, 430 Harvest Green, thanked the developers, on behalf of himself and his
neighbors, for the changes made in plans at the south end of the development.
Rob Lawrence, 3664 Planting Green, also thanked developers for their efforts and said
he liked the plans. He noted that he lives across the street from the retaining wall and
the oak tree in question and said he would be willing to concede some property, in the
spirit of cooperation, in order to aid in the preservation of the tree.
Jim Gallagher, 437 Country Road, expressed a concern that Heritage Road will be one
of the main access points into that part of the development. He said there are 55
children living there, with the potential for doubling that number with the new
development. The problem, he said, is that Heritage Road and Country Road currently
is an uncontrolled intersection. He said he had no concerns about the development, but
does have concerns about traffic. He said he would like to see a No Outlet sign facing
Country Road, as well as a stop sign at the intersection of Heritage and Country Road.
No other comments were received, and the hearings closed.
Motion by Council member Junker, seconded by Council member Harycki to adopt Resolution
2006-13, approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing land use designation of 8.0
acres of land "Liberty West" from Rural Residential to Cottage Residential located at 7135 -

Mr. Russell suggested adding another condition that emergency fire access
requirements be met for alley lots or residential sprinkling required, noting the Fire
Department has some concerns regarding lots with alley access. Councilmember
Polehna expressed a concern about Condition No. 27 allowing the developer the option
of determining how the $20,000 fee is spent; he said that should be a decision of the
Park Board. Councilmember Milbrandt said that clearly is the intent of the Park Board.
Councilmember Junker applauded Mr. Aamodt and his development team for their
efforts at revising plans to address concerns expressed by residents. Roll call vote was
taken.

condominiums development on a 5.14 acres of land located at 1749 South Greeley in the BP-I,
Business Park Industrial District. Notice was mailed to affected property owners and published
in the Stillwater Gazette on December 23, 2005
Case No. SUB/05-45. This is the date and time for a public hearinQ to consider a request from
Royal Oaks Realty and Oqren Properties Industrial District for a preliminary plat approval of a
20 lot subdivision on 5.14 acres of land located at 1749 South Greeley in the BP-I, Business
Park. Notice was mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette
on December 23, 2005
.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request to construct an office
condominium development. Currently there is an office building and some storage
buildings on the site; the storage buildings will be removed. The application was first
received by the Planning Commission in August. At that point, a tree survey had not
been completed and the Commission directed the applicant to complete the required
survey and look at some issues related to grading, lot coverage, and setbacks. The
applicant returned to the Commission on Dec. 12 with revisions addressing most of the
issues. One remaining issue, he said, is drainage/runoff from the rear. The City's and
developer's engineers are working on that issue. The use is consistent with the BP-I
District and does not require a special use permit, he said. The variance is for the
setback. He noted there are several conditions of approval. Conditions were added to
address concerns regarding impact of lighting on residents to the rear of the
development, additional evergreen screening of the structures, and fencing for
additional buffering for residential properties to the east. Modified plans removed three
units from the project to address impervious surface coverage and drainage issues
raised in the earlier review, he noted. Mr. Russell also pointed out there is a natural
area at the rear of the property owned by Washington County, which is deed-restricted
to remain in open space, so the project will be in excess of 200 feet from the residential
properties to the east. City Attorney Magnuson suggested adding the condition that
there is a development agreement before final plat approval.
.
Mayor Kimble opened the public hearing. Mike Black, Royalty Oaks Realty, and Eric
Ogren, owner of the property, and the project engineer were present. Mr. Black
reviewed issues they have been able to resolve. Regarding the rear drainage, he said
90 percent of the runoff will be kept on site. He said gutters and rain gardens also are
proposed to further address that issue. He said they are continuing to meet with City
Engineer and Watershed District officials to address the issue. He noted that there is a
condition prohibiting lighting on the rear of the buildings to address concerns raised by
neighbors to the east; however, some type of lighting over the rear entrances may be
required by building code. He said they would be willing to accept any condition that
such lighting be softened or shielded. During the discussion, Mr. Russell suggested the
lighting condition, No.7, be changed to indicate that rear lighting shall be directed
downward or of a pedestrian scale lighting. Eric Ogren noted the Ogren family business
would continue to be a resident of the property and said he thought they were bringing a
product to the community that is needed and attractive. No other comments were
received, and the hearing was closed.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible approval of downtown desiqn quidelines
.
Community Development Director Russell said the guidelines have been reviewed by
the Chamber's Historic District as directed by Council. The Historic District made
several comments regarding the guidelines, which were forwarded to the Heritage
Preservation Commission. The HPC, he said, has indicated it will put together a
potential color palette in response to one of the comments. Regarding the Historic
District's comments suggesting height restrictions, he said that is currently under
review. Mr. Russell noted these are updated guidelines to reflect the experience of the
City since the original downtown design guidelines were adopted in the early 1990s.
Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Harycki to adopt
Resolution 2006-19, approval of Downtown Design Guidelines.

Possible approval of purchase of survey equipment for location of sewer services
Public Works Director Eckles noted there is a new government mandate that cities
locate sewer services leading to private homes, which puts a burden on the city. Most
cities are looking at GPS systems as a way of meeting the mandate. He said there are
three current levels of accuracy in GPS systems. He said there is a new mid-range .
system that the City has looked into. The system has the advantage of being operable

by one person, which has the potential for additional advantage/savings to the City.
Cost is about $26,000, he said. Councilmember Polehna asked if there could be a
sharing with the County system; Mr. Eckles said the proposed new system would mesh
well with the County's GIS equipment. Councilmember Polehna also questioned having
just one bid; Mr. Eckles noted this was through the State's bid. The motion was
amended to include working with staff on financing options. Roll call vote was taken on
the amended motion.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Council member Milbrandt to adopt
Resolution 2006-20, authorizing the Purchase of Global Positioning Equipment for the

2nd and Nelson Street Storm Sewer
Mayor Kimble noted a lengthy memorandum and report prepared by Bonestroo had
been provided to the Council. The recommendation of staff was to accept the report and
select the alternative in which the existing pipe is replaced by a larger one to correct the
surcharge condition. Council direction also was sought on how to fund the project. A
recommendation from Finance Director Harrison was to fund the project through an
area-wide assessment, Mayor Kimble noted. Public Works Director Eckles showed a
map that indicated the approximate area that would be assessed if the City did a 4.5-
cent assessment to do the project. The 4.5 center assessment typically is for a 10-year
period, he said.
Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Junker to adopt
Resolution 2006-21, Accepting Report on 2nd & Nelson Streets Storm Sewer Project (Project
2006-08).
Ayes: Council members Harycki, Junker, Milbrandt, Polehna and Mayor Kimble

COMMUNICA TIONS/REQUESTS
Review of Heiqht Limits Downtown
Community Development Director Russell informed the Council that the Planning
Commission, at its Jan. 9 meeting, will be reviewing a possible ordinance to change the
height limits in the downtown. Basically, he said, the ordinance would step back heights
from the river towards 2nd Street, with the highest buildings - 4 stories, 45 feet - at the
base of the hill and along the river 2 stories, 30 feet, with the remainder 3 stories, 35
feet. The possible height regulations are a result of the Commission's consideration of
the Lofts project and Terra Springs building 5, he said. Mayor Kimble expressed a .
concern about not getting too restrictive, so as to preclude a potentially great project.
Councilmember Milbrandt spoke in favor of moving forward with addressing the issue.
Mayor Kimble reminded residents that the new recycling program begins the week of
Jan. 9. He advised residents to consult the calendar distributed with the new recycling
containers. Recycling pickup occurs on the weeks marked green on the calendars.
COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS
Councilmember Harycki said neighbors in the Myrtle/Sherburne area are very
concerned about traffic and would like to sit down with a City staff member to discuss
alternatives for traffic calming measures, especially on North Sherburne. He said
residents had expressed an interest in meeting with someone in February. Public Works
Director Eckles said he would be happy to meet with neighbors, but suggested that later
in the year he might be able to offer more concrete information. Mr. Eckles said he has
been talking with Washington County regarding the area in question. At this point, he
said he didn't think City or County staff could give neighbors any concrete answers until
studies are complete. Councilmember Harycki was to talk with Mr. Eckles about a
possible response to neighbors.
STAFF REPORTS (continued)
Police Chief Dauffenbach reminded residents of the odd-even winter parking .
regulations. Regulations are being enforced, he stated.

ADDENDUM NO.2
TO LEASE AGREEMENT
This Addendum made this 17th day of January, 2006, between the City of Stillwater,
Washington County, Minnesota, Home Rule City of the Third Class ("City") and Max Todo,
Marine Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation with offices at 16355 18th Street South,

PURPOSE
The parties to this Addendum are the parties to a Lease Agreement made the 16th of
December, 1999, and amended by Addendum No.1, dated January 31, 2003, and by this
Addendum wish to restate Section 3 of the Lease Agreement to hereafter read as follows:
"3. Term. The City is willing to lease this site to Max Todo by this
instrument for an additional three (3) year period ending January 31, 2009 in
consideration and according to the terms set forth in the Lease Agreement.
Notwithstanding this paragraph as to term, if the property is needed by the City,
the State of Minnesota, or the United States of America for a staging area or for
any other reason in connection with construction of a new interstate bridge
crossing at Stillwater, Max Todo will make the property immediately available to
those entities or their contractor or agents on a cooperative basis. If, however, the
necessary government use of this property is not compatible with Max Todo, the
term of use will terminate six (6) months after mailing a Notice of Termination
for this purpose by the City.
By this Addendum the parties wish to restate Section 10 of the Lease Agreement.
A new provision is added to Section 10 of the Lease Agreement to hereafter read as
follows:
"10(a). Max Todo will allow Ampicar launchings from the existing ramps
on the site at all reasonable hours. Ampicar owners may also park vehicles on the
site in areas designated by Max Todo. Max Todo may also allow Ampicar
owners access to any locked gates on the tpremises to accommodate Ampicar
launching during the time when Max Toclo is not present at the site. This
provision must be reviewed annually.
Further, the list of repairs set forth on Exhibit "B" is modified to set forth
a new Exhibit "B" to reflect the remaining repair to be completed during the
remaining term."
.
.
.
In all other ways, the Lease Agreement dated the 16th of December, 1999 will remain in
full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have set their hands this 17th day of January,
2006.

FROM:
Chantell Knauss
Director of Administration
RE:
Amending Hourly Pay Rates for Part-time Fire Personnel
Backaround
On December 20, 2005, the City Council passed Resolution 2005-272, Establishing
Hourly Pay Rates for Part-time Fire Personnel (attached).
The intent was to establish new rates that would provide for a $0.50/hour increase for all
part-time Fire positions. Resolution 2005-272 incorrectly listed the Firefighter/Engineer
new rate at $11.00/hour. Because this position's rate of pay was $10.75/hour, the new
pay rate should have been listed as $11.25/hour.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution 2006-25, Amending
Resolution 2005-272, Establishing Hourly Pay Rates for Part-time Fire Personnel.
RESOLUTION 2005- 272
.
ESTABLISHING HOURLY PAY RATES

LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made this 17th day of January, 2006, between the City of
Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota, a Home Rule City of the Third Class ("City") and
Max Todo, Marine Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, with offices at 16355 - 18th Street
South, Lakeland, Minnesota 55082 ("Max Todo").
I. Recital. The City is the owner of real estate with frontage on the St. Croix River
("Property"), part of which was formerly rented to Aiple Towing Company who operated a barge
terminal facility from the site.
.
2. The Property. A portion of this Property is the subject of this Lease and is
described on the attached Exhibit "A", the Property where currently a City owned barge entitled
the "Frank E" is moored along with a City owned vessel known as the "Cayuga", a vessel that is
held by the City for future use as park facility, but that currently is in need of substantial repair.
3. Term. The City is willing to lease the site to Max Todo by this instrument for an
initial three (3) year period and two (2) one-year extension periods on the consideration and
according to the terms set forth in this Lease Agreement.
4. Rent. As and for rent payable to the City during the term of this Agreement, Max
Todo will perform repairs to the Cayuga according to the repair items list schedule attached to
this Agreement as Exhibit "B". The order and timing of the work will be determined by Max
Todo but all work must be completed during the initial three (3) year term of this Agreement. As
additional rent, Max Todo will move the City barge from the Property to Lowell Park for the
LumbeIjack Days celebration and return it to its mooring site on the Property at no charge to the
City. This provision will not prevent Max Todo from charging private parties for services
rendered to them beyond the actual mooring and spudding down of the barge. Max Todo will
also, at the end of the term of this Agreement, move the Cayuga to its final location, without
charge to the City. Any use of the barge by Max Todo or others will require prior approval of
the City Coordinator.
5. Appearance. Max Todo agrees to maintain the physical appearance of the
Property in its present condition and promises to erect no additional out buildings or structures
. on the Property.
6. Mooring. Max Todo will be allowed to bring to the Property and moor on the
Property a marine crane, tug boat, additional barges, material for the construction of new barges,
welding equipment and additional boats and vehicles as needed to reasonably maintain their
business.
7. Landscaping. Max Todo will also plant shrubs, annual and perennial flowers,
grade the access road, cut and trim brush and weeds, and maintain the Property in a. presentable
fashion.
8. Lock Out Gate. Max Todo will construct lock out gates that will be installed to
secure the Property and prevent public access to the Cayuga, the barge and their business
property.
9. Waiver. Max Todo also agrees and waives by this Lease any claim that they
might otherwise have to compensation as a lessee in possession under any state or federal law or
rule should the property be needed to accommodate construction of an interstate bridge, bridge
piers or abutments or other possible bridge construction impacts in the event the Property or any
part of it is needed for bridge construction or bridge construction impacts or is affected by bridge
construction impacts. Max Todo upon ninety (90) days written notice by the City agrees to
accommodate any such construction or impacts. In that event the City agrees to reasonably
explore relocation of Max Todo for the remainder of the Lease period as long as a relocation
does not involve expense or charge to the City and the accommodation can reasonably be made.
If reasonable accommodations can not be made without charge to the City, Max Todo agrees to
vacate the Property leaving it in as good as condition as it is now found, waive any claim for
material or work done to the Cayuga, the barge or the premises and this Agreement will be null
and void. In that event, Max Todo will be relieved from further repairs to the barge or Cayuga.
10. Mooring Visitors. Max Todo also agrees to reasonably accommodate, at the
request of the City, any marine services who are temporarily working on public projects on the
St. Croix River on a temporary basis and who are in need of loading, unloading or mooring
vessels involved in this work. This provision will be operative on a case by case basis and may
not unreasonably disrupt Max Todo's operations, or provide a competitor with an unreasonable
advantage.

.
.
.
.
.
11. Insurance. Max Todo must insure the Property against all risks and provide the
City with a certificate of insurance evidencing $1,000,000 combined single limits coverage on
their operation, naming the City as an additional insured as their interest may appear. The City
will either self insure the Cayuga with regard to marine risks including hull risks or, if feasible,
as the Cayuga increases in value, secure marine insurance including hull coverage on the
Cayuga.
12. Prohibition Assignment. This Agreement and the rights granted hereunder may
not be assigned or transferred by Max Todo without the prior written consent of the City.
13. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement will not be effective unless all City
Charter provisions that pertain to the use of City owned land have been followed and approved
by the City Councilor the voters in the event that a referendum and also the approval of the
United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

ventilation, and air conditioning) system for the term January 1, 2005-December 31,
2005 in the total amount of $7,094 for City Hall and $5,325 for the Public Works Facility.
The renewal Agreements are proposed in the amounts of $10,665 for City Hall and
$5,758 for Public Works for the term January 1 - December 31,2005. The overall
increase for the contracts is 2.5% from last year's contracts.
The City Hall's proposed maintenance agreement is higher for 2006 due to the addition
of two items: $2,496 for the added maintenance for 3 rooftop units on the Fire
Department, and $898 added for Boiler maintenance. Neither of these items had
previously been on a maintenance agreement and should be due to their age.
The Public Works Facility also includes the addition of $300 for the rental of a lift
needed to reach the roof.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Resolution approving the
Planned Service Agreement with Johnson Controls for the term January 1-December
31,2006 for the City Hall and Public Works Facility.

Evaluation of Trees on Public Property
At the request of City Staff (Comm. Devel., Engineering/Public Works or Parks), or residents, I visited sites within the
City to evaluate the health of trees and make recommendations regarding their care. The trees examined included boulevard trees,
park trees and trees elsewhere on lands owned by the City. I also inspected trees along the McKusick Ravine Trail and the
Liberty/Legends trail for structural problems. I had a number of requests this year to evaluate trees along boulevards. Some
situations had to be referred to the city Code Enforcement Officer in order to have trees removed. Meetings, telephone
discussions and memos regarding these issues. (32.5 hours) Wrote grant for tree planting. Grant-Writing (5 hrs.)
Forestry "Hot-Line"
I returned telephone calls from City residents and made site visits to look at trees and shrubs and recommend management for
tree planting, pruning, removal, and insect, disease and cultural problems. In 2005 I returned approximately 260 phone calls and
made 130 site visits to residents (compared to 188 phone contacts and 134 site visits in 2004). Calls were in regard to tree insects,
diseases, cultural problems, tree protection, tree and shrub i.d., buckthorn management, oak wilt, storm damage and tree care. The
most frequent questions in 2005 concerned oak anthracnose and other leaf diseases. This is a very positive part of the program
and a service valued by residents. (52.5 hours)
Buckthorn Mana2ement
I presented a workshop on buckthorn management at City Hall spring of2005. There were approx. 25 people in
attendance. In cooperation with Friends of Stillwater Parks, Eco-Ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church, Hope House and the.
Stillwater Pub. Works Dept., I helped organize and carry out a Buckthorn Management Project in October along McKusick
Ravine Trail (between Mulberry and Cherry Sts.). There were 20 volunteers helping on the day of the project.
(seminar = 5 hours, mgt. project = 13 (+volunteer hours)
Public Information Articles and Website
I wrote articles on tree management subjects for several issues of the City Newsletter (tree cutting - bluff and ravine
areas, buckthorn, lawn mower and weed whip injury, oak wilt, stem girdling roots, oak anthracnose, trees for winter
interest and checking tree structure). I was also interviewed for a local forestry issues article published in the Stillwater
Courier. In conjunction with the forestry programs for Oak Park Heights and Lake Elmo, I prepared some handouts on tree
problems for residents. I continue to review forestry information for inclusion on the city website (5 hours)
Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease
This work included preparation of oak wilt map for DNR, oak wilt survey and work with property owners on oak wilt
diagnosis and management. For Dutch elm disease I visited properties upon request and offered management information. In
February, I completed annual tree inspector certification training. (10 hours)
Tree Protection
Site review of building placement, tree location, protection and identification of potential risk trees on wooded lots in the
Liberty/Legends developments. (2.0 hours - builders)
Site review for several projects (residential remodeling or in-fill construction regarding tree care and protection during
construction. Meetings and memos regarding these projects. (2.0 hours)

STATE OF MINNESOTA
CITY OF STILLWATER
COUNTY OF WASHINGTON
BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
In Re: The Application of Lisa Ann Clark
Case No. V /05-64
FINDINGS OF FACT
CONCLUSIONS AND
ORDER
The City Council convened the Hearing at approximately 7:00 p.m. on January 3,2006 at
the Council Chambers in City Hall on the Application of Lisa Ann Clark ("Applicant") for
approval of a variance from the zoning regulations of the Stillwater City Code.
At the Hearing, the City Council considered the report of Steve Russell, the City
Community Development Director, testimony and exhibits submitted by the Applicants, the Staff
Report and Minutes of the Planning Commission, a map, testimony of adjacent neighbors of the
property in question, and the Planning file prepared by City Staff for the Application, which
included:
(a) A sketch showing the property location, boundaries, and dimensions; and
(b) A sketch of the location of property in relation to the neighborhood near
the intersection of Myrtle and Owen Streets.
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the documents that have been made a part of this file,
upon the testimony of all those who offered it, and upon all the files, records and proceedings
herein, the City Council makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Applicant is the owner of the Lot for which a variance is requested.
2.
It is proposed that the Lot be used for the retail sale of products for natural healing
and well being. The property consists of a 5,418 square foot comer lot with a dimension of 43
"
feet by 126 feet. Although 7,500 feet is the minimum lot size for the area, the lot was platted and .
built upon before adoption of the Zoning Ordinance that created the R.B. District and the lot is,
therefore, a lawful non-conforming use.
3. That retail or commercial uses are not permitted uses under the regulations for the
Zone in which the Lot is located.
4. That Minn. Stat. 9462.357, subd. 6(2) prohibits the City from granting such a "use
variance."
5. That no evidence was presented by the Applicant that a hardship exists with
regard to the subject parcel as required by the City Code or Minn. Stat. 9462.357, subd. 6 (2).
6. That if a hardship exists at all, it is a hardship created by the Applicant who
proposes to use a Lot in a manner prohibited by the Ordnance.
7.
Use of the Lot for the existing home is reasonable use.
.
8. The proposed development is not compatible with adjacent property.
9. That allowing more commercial or retail use in the neighborhood would increase
traffic and foster further erosion of the quality of residential use in the area.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
1. That this matter was properly before the City Council pursuant to the procedure
set forth in the City Code.
2. That the variance is for the use of property that is not permitted by the terms of
Minn. Stat. 9462.357, subd. 6 (2).
3. A variance as requested III the Application, IS not III harmony with the
neighborhood.
.
- 2 -
. .
.
4.
That based upon the findings, the proposed variance to the Zoning Ordinance will
be a detriment to adjacent property, will frustrate the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance, and
violates the spirit of the guide of the Comprehensive Plan.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED
1. The variance is hereby denied.
Adopted by unanimous vote of the City Council this _ day of January, 2006.

Jeanne Anderson, Ward 1 and the other is from Terry Zoller, Ward 1.
It should also be noted that there are three terms expiring on May 1, 2006. I have
also heard (not officially) that another member may be moving out of Stillwater;
therefore four (4) members will need appointment.
Advertisement for the three (3) terms for the Charter Commission will begin February
1, 2006 (90 days required by the Charter). The vacancy must be filled by
appointment of the Chief Judge of the Tenth Judicial District pursuant to Minn. Stat.
~410.05, and if the Chief Judge fails to appoint new commission members within
thirty (30) days, then thereafter the City Council may appoint new members unless,
within the thirty (30) day period, the Chief Judge indicates in writing to the City
Council an intention to appoint new members, in which case the Chief Judge will
have an additional sixty (60) days to make the appointment.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review applications and appoint a member to the Charter Commission.

As may be requested by the Purchaser, one or more term Bonds may be issued having

.
(b) Book Entry Only System. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose
trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its
successors to its functions hereunder (the "Depository") will act as securities depository for the
Bonds, and to this end:
(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book
entry form only (the "Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a
separate single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of
complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized Denominations
for any Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the
outstanding principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the Bond Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in the name of
CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor
Depository, the "Nominee").
.
(iii) With respect to the Bonds neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participant") or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown
on the books and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have
any such responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the
Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of
3
1855568vl
redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other .
person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken
by the Depository as the Registered Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of
securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however,
rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting
rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date
identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
(iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to
be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers
with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as
paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and
all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to
the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the
existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10, references to the
Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.
.
(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all
notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond
Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting
as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any
replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard
procedures or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures
and other matters relating to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the
Bonds, collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in
book-entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and
shall be effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and
transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to
the Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of .
receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such
consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a
4
1855568vl
.
.
.
.
special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall,
to the extent possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agencylbond registrar agreement, shall agree to take any
actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.
(c) Termination of Book-Entry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to the Bond ifit determines that the Depository is
no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the
City or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination ofthe services ofthe Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the
functions ofthe Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is
willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the
City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the
Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds
shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the name of the
Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds
shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 11. To the extent that the
Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with
paragraph 10, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 10.
(d) Letter of Representations. The provisions in the Letter of Representations are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of the resolution, and if and to the extent any
such provisions are inconsistent with the other provisions of this resolution, the provisions in the
Letter of Representations shall control.
3. Purpose. The Bonds shall provide funds to finance the Project. The total cost of
the Project, which shall include all costs enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65, is
estimated to be at least equal to the amount of the Bonds. Work on the Project shall proceed
with due diligence to completion. The City covenants that it shall do all things and perform all
acts required of it to assure that work on the Project proceeds with due diligence to completion
and that any and all permits and studies required under law for the Project are obtained.

5. Redemption. All Bonds maturing on February 1, 2016, and thereafter, shall be
subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1,2015, and on any
date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of
the Bonds subject to prepayment. Ifredemption is in part, the maturities and the principal
amounts within each maturity to be redeemed shall be determined by the City; and if only part of
the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be
prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions thereof called for
redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon shall cease to
accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the
paying agent and to each affected registered holder of the Bonds.
.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond
Registrar prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to each Bond having a common
maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 ofthe principal amount of such Bond. The
Bond Registrar shall then select by lot, using such method of selection as it shall deem proper in
its discretion, from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many numbers as, at $5,000 for
each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be
redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided, however,
that only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a denomination of more than
$5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected. If
a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar (with, ifthe
City or Bond Registrar so requires, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
City and Bond Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or
Bonds of the same series having the same stated maturity and interest rate and of any Authorized

appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bonds, the signature
or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer
had remained in office until delivery. The City may elect to deliver, in lieu of printed definitive
bonds, one or more typewritten temporary bonds in substantially the form set forth above, with
such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond.
Such temporary bonds may be executed with photocopied facsimile signatures of the Mayor and
City Clerk. Such temporary bonds shall, upon the printing of the definitive bonds and the
execution thereof, be exchanged therefor and canceled.
9. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless a Certificate of Authentication on
the Bond, substantially in the form hereinabove set forth, shall have been duly executed by an
authorized representative of the Bond Registrar. Certificates of Authentication on different
Bonds need not be signed by the same person. The Bond Registrar shall authenticate the
signatures of officers of the City on each Bond by execution of the Certificate of Authentication
on the Bond and, by inserting as the date of registration in the space provided, the date on which
the Bond is authenticated, except that for purposes of delivering the original Bonds to the
Purchaser, the Bond Registrar shall insert as a date of registration the date of original issue,
which date is February 1,2006. The Certificate of Authentication so executed on each Bond
shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution.
10. Registration; Transfer; Exchange. The City will cause to be kept at the principal
office of the Bond Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Bond Registrar may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall provide for the registration of Bonds
and the registration of transfers of Bonds entitled to be registered or transferred as herein
provided.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the
City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of
registration (as provided in paragraph 9) of, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount, having the same stated maturity and interest rate, as requested
by the transferor; provided, however, that no Bond may be registered in blank or in the name of
"bearer" or similar designation.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized
Denomination or Denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and stated maturity, upon
surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal office of the Bond Registrar. Whenever
13
1855568vl
any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond .
Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of registration of, and deliver the Bonds which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this resolution shall
be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
All Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon transfer of Bonds shall be valid general
obligations of the City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
resolution, as the Bonds surrendered for such exchange or transfer.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and any
legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations ofthe City contained in any
agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to
close its transfer books between record dates and payment dates. The City Clerk is hereby
authorized to negotiate and execute the terms of said agreement.
11. Rights Upon Transfer or Exchange. Each Bond delivered upon transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid,
and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond.
.
12. Interest Payment~ Record Date. Interest on any Bond shall be paid on each
Interest Payment Date by check or draft mailed to the person in whose name the Bond is
registered (the "Holder") on the registration books of the City maintained by the Bond Registrar
and at the address appearing thereon at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar
month next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date"). Any such
interest not so timely paid shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof as of
the Regular Record Date, and shall be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof at the
close of business on a date (the "Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever
money becomes available for payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record
Date shall be given by the Bond Registrar to the Holders not less than ten days prior to the
Special Record Date.
13. Treatment of Registered Owner. The City and Bond Registrar may treat the
person in whose name any Bond is registered as the owner of such Bond for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest (subject to the payment
provisions in paragraph 12) on, such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not
such Bond shall be overdue, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. .

.
.
.
14. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. The Bonds when so prepared and executed
shall be delivered by the Administrator/Treasurer to the Purchaser upon receipt of the purchase
price, and the Purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the proper application thereof.
15. Fund and Accounts. There is hereby created a special fund to be designated the
"General Obligation Capital Outlay Bonds, Series 2006A Fund" (the "Fund"), to be administered
and maintained by the Administrator/Treasurer as a bookkeeping account separate and apart
from all other accounts maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be
maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have
been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts:
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, less any amount paid
for the Bonds in excess of $6,316,800. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all
costs and expenses of making the Project, including the cost of any construction contracts
heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.65. The moneys in the Construction Account shall be used for no other
purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also
be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of
commencement of the collection of taxes herein levied; and provided further that ifupon
completion of the Project there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction
Account, the balance shall be transferred by the Council to the Debt Service Account.
\
(b) Debt Service Account. There are hereby pledged and there shall be credited to
the Debt Service Account: (i) all accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds; (ii) any
amount paid for the Bonds in excess of $6,316,800; (iii) collections of all taxes herein or
hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (iv) all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs thereof; (v) all
investment earnings on moneys held in the Debt Service Account; and (vi) any and all other
moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to
the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal
and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation
bonds ofthe City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from the Debt Service Account
as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are
needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (2) in addition to the above in an
amount not greater than five percent ofthe proceeds of the Bonds. To this effect, any sums from
time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City fund
or account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable
therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then applicable federal arbitrage regulations may
be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable
yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into
account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal
arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds ofthe Bonds and money in the Construction
15
1855568vl
Account or Debt Service Account shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, .
guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to
the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the
meaning of Section l49(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").
16. Tax Levy; Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and
interest on the Bonds there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct
annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of
other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as follows:
Year of Tax Levy
Year of Tax Collection
Amount
2006-2024
2007-2025
See attached Levy Schedule
The City has heretofore levied $ in 2005 for payment of the principal and
interest on the Bonds in 2006, a direct ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls
and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in the City.
The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of
other monies herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent in
excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds.
The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, .
provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the . .
extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3.
17. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this paragraph,
all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the
Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Bond
Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Bond
should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Bond
Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such
deposit. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds,
subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by
depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an
escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67,
Subdivision 8, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such
dates as shall be required, without regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to
become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly
provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
18. Compliance With Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the
"reimbursement proceeds" ofthe Bonds, being those portions thereof which will be used by the .

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council.
5ltf
Shawn Sanders, Assistant City Engineer
FROM:
DATE:
January 11, 2006
RE:
Feasibility Report-2006 Street Improvement Project
Project 2006-2
DISCUSSION
For the 2006 improvement project it is proposed to reconstruct the streets of the Forest Hills
neighborhood. The streets in the neighborhood are Rainbow Court, Morningside Road, Everett
Drive, Harriet Street, Harriet Drive and Orleans Street. These streets were constructed back in
the 1960's to an urban section 34 feet wide but with little storm sewer. Existing storm sewer in
the neighborhood consists only of catch basins at the low points of two locations, the intersection
of Everett and W. Orleans and Rainbow Court. The streets now have severe alligator cracking
and transverse cracking, thin pavement sections, and several significant patches due to water
main breaks. According to the 2004 Pavement Study, these streets were given a rating of either
poor or worst.
A couple of factors have lead to the poor condition of the streets. The lack of storm sewer,
which causes runoff to flow overland, has deteriorated the pavement, especially at the
intersections. Also, soil borings indicate that the existing pavement thickness varies from 0.5" to
4.0" along with poor sub-base material including silty, clayey and fine alluvial soils.
PROPOSED PROJECT
STREET IMPROVEMENT
It is proposed for this project that it be a partial reconstruction project where the existing curbs
would remain and the street, sub-grade and sub-base material would all be replaced. Streets
would be constructed with a full pavement section consisting of four inches of bituminous, six
inches of aggregate and an average of 1.5 feet of a granular material. Storm sewer would be
installed throughout the project (See enclosed map) including upgrading the existing pipes and
outlet to Brick Pond from Everett Street.
Estimated cost for street improvements
and storm sewer improvements
$1,243,047.00
STREET LIGHTS
The existing street lights were probably installed back when the area developed over 40 years
ago. Unlike most neighborhoods, these lights are city owned and not maintained by Xcel Energy.
,
It is proposed that the existing street lights be replaced with eight new lights that are approved by .
Xcel Energy. A maintenance plan would be developed with the installer.
Estimated cost for street light replacement
$40,000.00
Sanitary Sewer
City maintenance crews have provided information on the condition of the sanitary sewer mains
in the project area. The information shows the main in two locations has settled and does not
adequately flow. There are other locations where roots have intruded through the pipe joints. The
settled pipes should be replaced at this time and would require open trenching. Root intrusion
could be corrected by trenchless spot repair of the pipe.
Estimated cost for sanitary sewer repair
$45,000.00
W ATERMAIN
This area has experience a very number of water main breaks over the years. Samples were done
on the soils and they show lean clays and corrosive soils in the pipe zone area, and may be the
cause of the water main breaks over the years. This information was presented to the Stillwater
Water Board, along with the possibility of street project, stating if any water main improvements
were to be done now is the time to consider it. At their most recent meeting, they discussed and
agreed that the water main should be replaced ifthe street project were to proceed.
Estimated cost to replace existing water main
$295,000.00
.
PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCING
The total cost of the project which includes engineering, construction and administration, is as
follows:
Streets
Storm Sewer
Street Lights
Sanitary Sewer Replacement
Water Main Replacement
$963,430.00 .
$279,617.00
$40,000.00
$45,000.00
$295,000.00
Total Project Costs
$1,623,047.00
It is proposed that the project be financed through assessments and ad valorem property taxes
according to the City's Assessment Policy. Streets, storm sewer, sanitary sewer would be
assessed to the property owner at 50% and the street lights would be assesses at 100% to the
property owner. Water main costs would be funded entirely by the Stillwater Water Board.
There are 79 affected properties in the project area, 78 residential lots and the Junior High
School. Properties would be assessed equally on per unit basis and the Junior High would be
assessed on a frontage basis.
.
,.
. Assessment rates for the project are as follows:
Streets
Street Lights
Lineal foot rate for the Junior High
$7585.86 per unit
$516.34 per unit
$67.67 per LF
The assessed amount per lot amounts to $8102.20. In comparison, last years street assessment
was $5892 per lot for the Fifth and Hancock area. This difference is due to a number of reasons,
larger lot sizes, poor soils, installation of a new storm sewer system and anticipated higher
construction costs. Council could consider eliminating the street light assessment rates by
tapping into the Signs and Lighting Fund. This would reduce the assessment rate on the project
to $7585.86.
This project was presented to Council in 2000, but was tabled. At that time the proposed
assessment rate for the project was $5660.
.
A summary of Project Funding is shown below:

RECOMMENDATION
Since this project is feasible from an engineering standpoint and this project is cost effective,
staff recommends that Council accepts the report for the 2000 Street Reconstruction Project for
the Forest Hills neighborhood and order a public hearing to be on February 21,2006 at 7:00 p.m.

Re: Water main in Forest Hills.
Dear Shawn:
At today's Board of Water Commissioners meeting the replacement of water main in the
Forest Hills area was discussed.
If this street project gets City Council approval for the spring of2006 the Water Board
has agreed to replace all the water main in the entire neighborhood with PVC pipe for the
estimated price of $295,000.00, which includes water main, service taps and reconnects
to existing main and services.
The two things I would request are that a tracing wire be laid with the plastic pipe for
locating purposes and that 6" wide service saddles are used for the water main taps.
If you have any questions please call me.
Sincerely,
~<~

Estimate Assumptiol1s;
,/ We bid the conduit installation as all plow with the exception of two road crossings which we priced
as dire<.ttional bore. We.will need to re-bid this portion of the project next spring when we can see the
te~ain fr~ the Q\l-~k yards in the four locations that we have to bring power out from the back yards.
,/ We did not price any liard i,)bq{tsw;fa(':e (~storationforthes~ete~n
.
',..... -'- ,
,...'-' .," -._,
,/ Tht:cost to install these lights ~{hlgher than expected because the electric transformers are all located
in the back yards. We limited the amount of feedsto three but will have to b~g power outto the
street through f01U:side yards. The average distance between lights is 345 feet which also increases the
average cost perliglj.t. .
Streetlight Maintenance:.
,/ We priced all11s with Xcel approved fixtures that will qualify for their fixture only
maintenan?~~, .....,> > ..' i;w;rent flat rates for this type of maintenance are between $3.50 to $4.90
per light per month depending on lamp wattage and level of fixture maintenance requested.
,/ If you are interested in Wright-Hennepin Electric's Full Maintenance program which covers the full
streetlight system the monthly cost per light would be $6.00 for the colonial and cobra head and
$10.50 for the Vernon. We would also have to meter the 3 disconnects which will add $21.00 in basic
fees from Xcel and your monthly energy bill would be approximately $9.75 for all 8 lights. So, your
total basic charge and energy charge from Xcel would be $30.75 and your Full Maintenance monthly
fee from WHE would be $48.00 for a grand total of $78.50 per month or $9.80 per light total.
,/ Time and Material n Signature Lighting offers an affordable time and material rate of $80.00 per hour
for all service calls including locating and repairing underground faults, fixture repairs and total
replacements of fixtures and poles.
I hdp~ we have given you enough information to assist you in preparing a lighting budget for this project and
-We will certainly re-price this project in the spring for a firm install price. If you have any questions please feel
fred9contact me at (763) 753-8157 or (612) 910-4382.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Klayton Eckles, Director of Public Works k.l:: v"
FROM:
DATE: January 12, 2006
SUBJECT: Discussion on Engineering Staff Workloads and Possible Consultant Use for 2006
DISCUSSION
The Engineering Department has been reviewing possible workloads for 2006 and it appears
that it could a very busy year. Engineering staff would like City Council to provide some
input in terms of how to deal with some ofthis workload.
Attached, the City Council will find 65 items of unfinished business that are currently being
dealt with in the Engineering Department. Each of these business items have been rated on
importance, urgency and difficulty and a priority score is calculated based on these numbers.
It should be noted that the lower the number the higher the priority or urgency whereas the
difficulty increases with increasing numbers. Staffhas also included a copy of the semi-final
version ofthe 2005 billable hours for the Engineering Department. By cross referencing the
two documents, Council may get a sense of the amount of effort that may be required to
complete some of the items listed under unfinished business. For instance in 2005 there were
over 1800 hours dedicated towards the 2005 street improvement project.
In order for the Engineering Department to complete some of these high importance
unfinished business items it will likely be necessary to use consulting services. Possible
projects that immediately come to mind include the MS4 Phase 2 permit, the Stormwater
Management plan preparation, and possibly a large project such as the Boutwell Road
Improvements.
Also attached to this memorandum is a map showing possible development activity for 2006.
This coming year there could be unprecedented pressure to allow new development to occur.
The map shows a number of properties in red that have been approved for construction.
These include the Ogren/Royal Oak Realty business site, the Liberty West site, Settlers Glen
9th Addition, and the MillbrooklPalmer site. Also staffis aware ofa great number ofprojects
that are in the process of moving toward City approval. These projects include the
Bruggeman site, the parcel in the NE quadrant of 12 and Manning, the McKenzielMeisterling
property, 3 properties near Manning and McKusick Road, and the Carlson property at
McKusick and Neal. Finally there are several properties that have discussed an intent or
desire to move forward but at this time are not quite ready to proceed due to technical issues.
..
These include the properties shown in blue. This would yield a total of 11 properties that .
potentially could see development activities in 2006 plus 3 others that may require planning
and engineering input. It would be extremely difficult for the current staffing levels of
Stillwater to effectively manage such an aggressive workload. There would be concerns
about providing adequate direction and oversight to ensure quality developments that would
complement Stillwater.
Prior to 2006, City Council had been reluctant to allow some ofthese new developments into
the City due to transportation issues. The transportation issue has been dealt with at least on
the extent of the financing end with the new transportation adequacy fund. The City will be
realizing significant contributions from new developments, but that does not mean all of the
necessary road work will be completed prior to the developments. With some of the
transportation issues behind us, the City Council will likely see a renewed pressure to allow
these developments to occur. Its worth pointing out that all ofthe properties highlighted in
brown are outside of the City's boundaries until 2015 unless the City elects to allow these
properties to come in early. Therefore, it would not be unreasonable for the City Council to
provide direction in terms of how these properties could develop in an orderly approach with
some spreading out of the development activity.
Another alternative or approach would be to use outside consultants to provide engineering
and oversight on some of this development activity. Its important to note that each
development requires a significant amount of up front engineering planning and review that
would most likely be less than adequate if provided by an outside consultant. Even if some .
of the field work and plan review were completed using consultants, a significant amount of
work is still necessary on part of the City staff.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council review the attached information and consider staggering
developments as they come into the City by providing a limit on the amount of development
in a given year. Based on Council decisions on development approval, Council may also
wish to provide staff with additional input on the possible use of outside consultants for
project design and oversight.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA ~

January 12,2006
To: Owens and Myrtle Area Residents
Subject: Traffic Issues Surrounding the Owens and Myrtle Street Area
Dear Resident:
As you may have heard Washington County has put the Owens and Myrtle Street Intersection on its list
of possible candidates for a new traffic signal. The City of Stillwater has been in discussions with
Washington County and we wish to provide you with the current status of this discussion.
At the present time, no decisions have been made. The intersection is simply on a list of possible
candidates for signalization. The City of Stillwater has not indicated support for a signal at this
intersection, but the City of Stillwater has indicated a need to study this entire area. The addition of a
signal would both solve some problems and possibly create others therefore careful study would be
needed.
Prior to making any decision on the actual installation ora signal, a number of steps would be taken.
First a traffic engineer would study all the trafficissues in the area and generate a report. Issues to be
considered include: delays, speeding, cut thru traffic, accidents, pedestrian safety and traffic noise. The
results of the study would be presented to the neighborhood in the area and the City would gather
neighborhood input. Based on the results of the study and the input from the neighborhood, afinal
determination would be made on the feasibility and appropriateness of a signal at this intersection.
The process just described has not been started yet. It will take several months to complete such a process
once it's started. We anticipate initial discussions with Washington County staff sometime in the next
couple of months. Likely a study would be completed over the course of the summer and the results
shared with the residents in the area at the later halfofthe summer. In the future we Will notify you of
any neighborhood meetings or public hearings or other discussions on this topic and we hope you will
participate and provide your input.
Hopefully this letter provides you with some clarification concerning the process involved with studying
the Owens and Myrtle intersection and surrounding area. In the future we Will provide you With
additional updates as progress is made on this topic. In the meantime we appreciate your patience in the
matter of traffic issues in the neighborhoods surrounding Owens and Myrtle.

January 5, 2006
The Honorable Jay Kimble
Mayor of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
SUBJECT: Preserve America Community Sign
Dear Mayor Kimble:
Congratulations once again on Stillwater's designation as a Preserve America Community!
Under separate cover, you shortly will be receiving a Preserve America Community sign for placing in a
prominent location within or entering your community. These signs are being produced and distributed
with the assistance ofthe USDA Forest Service. The Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department
of Transportation, has prepared the following guidance for appropriate placement of the signs along
transportation corridors:
· Preserve America Communities signs shall not replace or block any regulatory, warning, or
existing guide signs.
· Signs should be placed at least 200 feet from regulatory, warning or existing guide signs so that
they do not interfere with driver recognition of speed limits, directions to destinations, or
dangerous conditions.
· Signs shall not be placed at a critical decision point, such as exit and entrance ramps, roadway
intersections or highway-rail grade crossings.
· If signs are placed in work zones they should not block or be too close to other traffic control
devices where driver inattention could cause unsafe driving maneuvers. In addition, because of
the nature of work zones, work zone signs can move from one location to another. The placement
of the work zone signs and other traffic control devices have priority. Therefore, any Preserve
America Community sign shall be covered or removed when it interferes with the placement of or
blocks a work zone sign.
Please follow these guidelines in determining where to erect signs. If you wish to produce or purchase
additional signs at your own expense, you have two options. You can contact the sign manufacturer who
sent you your sign (list attached), and request information on obtaining additional signs. If you prefer, you
may contact the U.S. Forest Service regional sign coordinators (list attached) to obtain the sign
specifications and use the specifications with the Preserve America logo (on the CD-ROM that was sent
to you with your Community designation packet) to make your own sign production arrangements.
