Finance Director Deblon reported cages around the new light fixtures at Lily Lake Arena had not been
included in the cost estimate. She did not have a cost for adding the cages, but because of the
construction schedule, a decision was needed at this meeting.
Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to add cages around new light
fixtures at Lily Lake Ice Arena, contingent upon approval of Park and Recreation Board and Park Director
Thomsen. All in favor.
Ms. Deblon also stated budget worksheets would be distributed before the next meeting. She asked
Council to provide input prior to that time or at the next meeting.
Captain Dauffenbach (incoming Police Chief), requested the promotion of Sergeant Klosowsky to
Captain effective July 1, 1998 (on consent agenda). He also reported Kevin Reiners declined the offer
of employment as patrol officer; therefore, the hiring and testing process for hiring another patrol officer
has been started. Also, the process for testing for the sergeant position to be vacated by Sgt. Klosowsky
has begun. He presented a copy of the traffic activity for the May 23 -24 special enforcement action.
This action was in conjunction with the Safe and Sober Grant and was in participation with surrounding
area departments.
City Engineer Eckles presented a request from Park Director Thomsen for installation of a sidewalk
along Grove Street from Myrtle Street to Ramsey Street for access to Ramsey Park. He requested $5600
from the Park Dedication Fund be used to install a 310 foot walk with curb cut and handicap path to the
playground.
City Council Meeting No. 98 -13 June 2, 1998
City Attorney Magnuson determined this was not an allowable use of the Park Dedication Fund.
Council requested Thomsen return with other funding options at the June 16 meeting.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to table the request for installation

OTHER BUSINESS
1. Larson, Allen, Weishair & Co. - Auditor's Report
Finance Director Deblon introduced Tom Koop of Larson, Allen, Weishair & Co., LLP. Mr. Koop
presented the Independent Auditor's Report, explaining the audit process and the summary of results.
He concluded the financial position of the City, as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund type for the year then ended are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
2. McKusick Lake residents — Preservation and Restoration of McKusick Lake.
City Coordinator Kriesel reported staff has held two meetings with some McKusick Lake homeowners
to discuss issues raised by homeowners. The following items were included in the Mission Statement
for the Citizens for the Preservation and Restoration of McKusick Lake: a) maintain water level at 853.5
feet; b) improve water quality; c) maintain and improve recreational opportunities (fishing, non -
motorized boating, swimming, ice skating, walking/biking paths); d) preserve wildlife habitat; and e)
protect property values of shoreline and lake area home owners.
City Coordinator Kriesel summarized the staff report prepared in response to the issues. The water level
is set by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR established level is about 1 foot less
than the present level; new development will require a level that is at least as low as the DNR level.
Water quality could be monitored, with the possibility that additional flow may improve quality.
Estimates could be obtained for dredging part of the lake to create "holes" that would allow some fish to
survive winterkill; non - motorized boating would require public access (possibly the northeast side of
lake along McKusick Lake Rd); swimming would probably not be feasible given the level and condition
of the lake; skating rinks may be created depending on demand; and paths already exist on the northeast
side, and a plan is being developed for a path around the entire lake. Current mitigation work is
designed to protect the environment including wildlife habitat.
•
•
Chuck Fredrickson, representing the Citizens for the Preservation and Restoration of McKusick Lake,
expressed concern with the Council acceptance of the feasibility study and requested a more
•
comprehensive study before any more development takes place. He asked the study be concerned about
drought and low cycles as well as high water cycles.

City Council Meeting No. 98 -13 June 2, 1998
City Engineer Eckles discussed the DNR permit to regulate the lake at no higher than 852.2.

up educational programs regarding fertilizer use and impact on the lake.

Attest:
3. Consideration of Use of Aiple Property for Temporary Weekend Pay Parking for 1998 Summer
Season.
Community Development Director Russell informed Council the Aiple property is available to the City
June 1, 1998. The Downtown Parking Commission met with Imperial Parking and downtown business
owners on May 28. The Commission recommends the City make the property available on a temporary
one -season basis for pay parking. The lot would be available June through October weekends. An
attendant would be located on -site. The cost would be $2 for all day. Area lighting and some minimal
grading would be needed. No trees would be removed. The estimated costs of grading and creating a
pedestrian pathway to downtown would be $6000 - $8000. Imperial Parking estimates at least this
amount would be collected during the season. The estimated 150 -200 parking spaces would be
significant to the downtown businesses.
Kevin LaCasse and Dave Swanson were present to answer questions regarding the Downtown Parking
Commission's recommendation.
Councilmember Zoller and Mayor Kimble stated they had received calls in opposition to this proposal.
There was concern that if once used for parking, it will predispose the property to always be used as
parking; it could affect the results of the study being prepared on the long -term use of the property.
Council determined the master park plan should be completed before action is taken on use of the land
for parking. No action was taken at this time.
Recessed at 6 p.m.

request as inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Commission Chair Fontaine stated the
Commission felt the best use for the area was to retain the current single family zoning.
John Roettger, Croix Builders, presented his request. He stated the twinhomes would provide tax base
but would not burden the schools with additional children because the twinhomes tend to be purchased
by people without children.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
1. Dick Stockstead, 1108 Meadowview Drive, stated he was the spokesperson for the Meadowview Estates
Homeowners Association. He expressed concerns with water runoff, safety and the extension of Stillwater

City Council Meeting No. 98 -13 June 2, 1998
Ak. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Request for sewer service assistance, 216 W. Wilkins Street.
City Coordinator Kriesel presented a memo from City Engineer Eckles explaining a request from Marcia
Kilborne, 216 W. Wilkins, for assistance in paying for the cost of a sanitary sewer service. The property has
a sanitary sewer service, but is connected to the City storm sewer. She is completing a renovation of this
property and has been directed by the City to correct the sewer system problem.
This apparently resulted from the sewer separation project approximately 25 years ago. When the sanitary
sewer was separated from the storm sewer, the section of pipe that concluded this sanitary service was
converted into storm sewer rather than sanitary sewer.
Although private property owners are typically responsible for private services and sewer improvements, at
the time of the City sewer separation project an alternative sanitary sewer service was not readily provided.
Therefore, Mr. Eckles is recommending that Council consider converting a portion of a private service into
a public main.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Bealka authorizing staff to obtain quotes
for the installation of a manhole and restoration of the street at a cost not to exceed $3000.00 for the purposes of
providing sewer service to 216 W. Wilkins Street. All in favor.

brief addendum that would clear the record and allow the refranchising to continue.

c. Letter from Mr. James Denn, Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Mr. James Denn of the MN Department of Transportation responded to the above letter by
stating that MN/DOT is very open and willing to consider such an agreement. He has asked the

joining the talks in the future, that addresses confidentiality of discussion and materials as related
to potential use in litigation, and that the scope of the confidentially provided by the agreement
extend to pending and possible future litigation.
City Attorney Kriesel presented a brief summary of the history of the proposed interstate bridge, how
the proposed corridor was selected, and the options for and impacts of alternative corridors.
Chris Baldus, editor of the Stillwater Evening Gazette, asked if the City would consider signing a
confidentiality agreement and would meet in closed sessions.
City Attorney Magnuson explained the City has not seen a copy of the draft of the confidentiality
agreement. Mayor Kimble stated the open meeting law applies to three or more members of the same
Council meeting in closed session. The bridge discussions with one member each from several councils
or organizations are allowed to be held in closed session.

BCWD has reviewed the AUAR feasibility study and are seriously interested in decisions being made in the
annexation area which will affect the integrity of the entire watershed. They also had some concerns
regarding the three phased approach for implementing the AUAR projects. They feel that all phases of
work proposed by the AUAR be committed to a schedule which will protect the water resources from the
damaging effects of development. They requested the City consider having the BCWD work with the City
as they move forward in the AUAR projects.
Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Bealka directing City Engineer Eckles to work

DISCUSSION:
MEMORANDUM
The City of Stillwater pays for electricity use on 12 traffic signals in and along the
border of the city. NSP is currently offering a program where these traffic signals can be
updated to use state -of -the -art LED luminaries. By converting to these LED systems, it is
estimated that the City will save $7,200 per year. In addition, there would be a $356.00
incentive each year for using these LEDs. The cost of installing LEDs throughout the
City is approximately $36,135.00. However, through the NSP Loan Agreement Program
the dollars saved each year can be used to offset the total cost of the LED systems. The
payback period is five years. This means if the City continues to pay at its current
electrical rate and installs the LED system, the system will be paid for in five years.
After the five -year period the City will see a real savings in expenditures of $7,200 per
year.
Unless the City Council advises otherwise, staff will execute the necessary
paperwork that will allow NSP to begin processing a loan agreement. This loan
agreement would be brought to City Council for approval at a later date.
ACTION REOUIRED:
No action is required on this time except that Council should concur that staff
proceed with the necessary paperwork for this loan agreement.

RE: Noise from car wash operations
DA: June 12, 1998
MEMORANDUM
Discussion:
The City has received many complaints over the past few months about the loud siren like noise
that is produced by the Market Place Car Wash operations. Some of these residents will be at the
meeting Tuesday night to discuss this matter with the Council.
In regards to the noise, the City did conduct a noise monitoring session last August. According to
the report the noise did not exceed the noise limits of our City Code. However, the noise is very
distracting as I and many other people can attest to and I think we need to re -test the operations
again.
Staff have also talked to the owner of the operations. Apparently some modifications (at a cost of
about $5000) can be made to the blow drying system that will reduce the noise to more
acceptable levels. The owner has inquired as to whether or not TIF assistance is allowable and
available for these modifications. I would suggest that the system should have been
"neighborhood friendly" in the first place and that the modifications should be the responsibility
of the owner.
Staff will continue to work with the owner to try to have the system modified. We will also re-
test the operations next week to see if the noise levels (at full use and at different times of the
day) meets the noise limit requirements of the City Code.
Recommendation:
Council direct staff to monitor the noise levels at the Market Place Car Wash and to work with
the owner to modify the blow drying system.

June 8, 1998
Stillwater City Council
Stillwater City Hall
Stillwater, Minnesota
Dear Council Member,
I represent a group of people who think that the noise generated by the blowers on the
Market Place Carwash is a public nuisance. There are five specific issues:
-the level of noise exceeds acceptable levels for the bordering residential
neighborhoods.
- the high tone pitch of the blowers is unacceptable and approximates the sound of
warning sirens, constituting a safety risk for nearby families.
- the time of use at night and early morning , violates the quality of life in
boarding residential neighborhoods.
-the frequency of use on week ends and holidays reduces the quality of life for
citizens in nearby residential neighborhoods.
A petition to this effect is being circulated in the residential neighborhoods near the car
wash and over 90% of those contacted so far have signed.
The noise level was tested by a member of the Stillwatter Police Department. The results
of the study should be questioned because the study was done about a block from the
source of the sound and it was not done under the conditions of the highest use of the
blowers.
The car wash should change the blowers it uses to conform to the blower types at other
carwashes (more like the blower at the Sprint car wash which is nearer our houses, but is
never heard by us).
It has been proposed that closing the doors of the carwash will solve the problem. While
closing the doors lowers the noise level, it still is loud and sounds like a siren. The door is
often left open. The carwash has been contacted numerous times when this has happened
and has failed to respond until an owner was called at home, then the response time was
over two hours before the doors were closed.
The noise generated by the blowers is a public nuisance and the blowers should be
changed to significantly reduce the noise they produce.
The city council should take action by determining the blower noise a public nuisance and
requiring the car wash to modify the blowers to conform to strict noise and time
requirements.
We, the undersigned, consider the blowers used to dry cars at the Market Place car wash
to be a public nuisance because of one or more of the following reasons:
- the level of noise exceeds acceptable levels for the bordering residential
neighborhoods.
-the high tone pitch of the blowers is unacceptable and approximates the sound of
warning sirens, constituting a safety risk for nearby families.
- the time of use at night and early morning ' violates the quality of life in
boarding residential neighborhoods.
-the frequency of use on week ends and holidays reduces the quality of life for
citizens in nearby residential neighborhoods.
We petition the city council and the staff of the city of Stillwater to take steps to make the
Market Place Carwash conform to noise levels, tone pitch, and reasonable hours of use to
insure that the noise generated by the blowers does not infringe on the quality of life of
the citizens in neighboring areas.

Mr. Steven Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Russell,
I reside at 1116 Parkwood Lane and I am writing to you regarding the Market
Place Car Wash. I first contacted the city regarding Market Place Car Wash in 1997. At
that time I expressed concern over the noise created by the blowers used to dry the
vehicles at the car wash. It is my belief that the noise exceeds acceptable levels. In
addition, the blowers approximate the sound made by the civil defense sirens.
In response to my first complaint, the city police department conducted a decibel
meter reading near the car wash in August 1997. According to the officer's report, she
took her decibel level readings with the west side doors in the closed position. This was
not an accurate reading because the majority of the time, in the warm months, the west
side doors are open. I also question whether the officer measured the decibel level with
all four blowers running simultaneously, which frequently occurs on sunny Saturdays. I
was told at the time that the owner of the car wash was contacted and agreed to keep the
west side doors closed. Clearly, this has not taken place. The business is, by and large, a
self - service one, which apparently operates without an attendant.
On Sunday mornings I worship at the church across County Road 5 from the car
wash. The noise from the blowers interferes with my worship. Numerous times visitors
at church have asked what the reason was for the sirens sounding. This past Sunday my
daughter was Confirmed at the church and we entertained guests afterwards in our
backyard at home. All was done to the noise of the car wash blowers. Words cannot
express how disheartening and frustrating it was to endure the noise.
Saturdays and Sundays seem to be the worst times. Of course, I'm home on the
weekends and I suspect that most people take the time to wash their cars on the weekend.
I normally enjoy working in my yard and try to spend as much time outdoors as possible
during the warm months, but it becomes extremely annoying listening to the constant
whine of the blowers. I have also listened to the blowers running as late as 1:00 a.m. I
cannot escape the sound even by going inside my home.
The situation is one of noise pollution which I hope will be addressed by the city
in a prompt fashion. I'm sure that I am not alone in my dissatisfaction with the present
situation. I'm certain my neighbors would join me in seeking city action to rectify this
nuisance.
Sincerely,
Scott Malinosky

Re: Taste of Stillwater Beer Garden.
I have been working with Bob Safe and Diane Rollie on the recommended guidelines for the beer
garden. I would like a policy direction from the City Council regarding the beer garden. The
Taste of Stillwater has agreed to all safe guards regarding the dispensing of alcohol except
one. The recommended guidelines from the League of Cities say that the gardens should have
limited access to individuals over 21 years. The Taste of Stillwater states that it is a "family
function" and would like to allow access to the beer garden by everyone. I explained to them
that the city council would need to make this decision.
The:safe.guards that are already agreed to are as follows:
guards
L..::.Dramshop insurance
2: Liability insurance
3. Fenced in beer gardens with limited access and confined area.
4. Six bartenders checking I.D's of people purchasing alcohol.
5. Security guards at exits to prevent beer from going outside of beer gardens.
6. Signage "No Alcohol Beyond This Point" - " Be Prepare To Show I.D." - "Alcohol In Fenced
Area Only"
7. Security patrolling the inside of garden (non - swom).
8. Police officer on duty in park.

Dear Chief Beberg,
The City of Stillwater Chamber is hosting it's third annual "Taste of Stillwater" on June 19 -20 -21
this year. We are planning to have pony rides as part of this family- oriented event and, knowing
how hard Tim Tompsen has worked on the new lawn and planringc in. Law& Park we thought we
would put the ponies down on the riverfront promenade. Tim has suggested however that we
contact your department and make certain that this would be acceptable.
Would you please let us know at your earliest convenience whether the 4 little ponies can be on this
roadway.
We appreciate your attention to this matter.
Best of luck on your new life, Stillwater will miss you!

RE: Amundson Property
DA: June 12, 1998
MEMORANDUM
Discussion:
The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending that the Council take steps to acquire the
"Amundson" property that is located just east of Amundson Drive and west of Stonebridge
school. As you will recall the City attempted to purchase the property in 1995. The owner did not
wish to sell because she believed that a townhouse development would be approved for the site.
However, as you also know the Council recently denied a request for rezoning of the property.
Therefore, it is likely that the property will be developed as single family unless the City is able
to acquire the property.
I have attached some of the correspondence /documents that are related to the previous attempt to
acquire the property for your review. It may be necessary to "update" the appraisal to determine
the value and price of the property. I can discuss this matter with you further at the meeting
Tuesday.
Recommendation:
Council consider directing staff to take necessary steps to acquire "Amundson" property.

Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Dear Nena:
St !1hwater
THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
I am writing to you to bring you up to date on the City's continuing interest and effort to acquire
what we are calling " The Amundson Park" property. First of all I recently met with Bruce Folz,
Dave Magnuson and the City Engineer to discuss some of the issues related to the property.
During the discussion it was discovered that the property appears to be encumbered by drainage
easements. The drainage easements appear to include the area that is shown (in blue) on the
enclosed map. One of the easements is recorded as Doc. No. 400713. According to Dave
Magnuson, the other easement, which lies east of Amundson Drive and west of the ponding area,
was obtained during the platting of Oak Glen. This easement may not have been recorded.
However; Mr. Magnuson recalls having Henry Amundson sign the easement. City staff are
presently searching City records for evidence of the easement.
If the other easement exists it would appear that the area adjacent to Amundson Drive would
have rather limited development potential. Further, the area to the west and immediately adjacent
to Stonebridge Elementary School has extreme slopes, is subject to drainage easements and
would also appear to have limited development potential. Overall, it would appear that the land
has limited development potential (at least from a cost recovery stand point) or at least not to the
degree that was initially contemplated.
After careful consideration of the issues discussed above I would like to have you consider the
'allowing proposal:
1) The City would offer to purchase the "net" property for $150,000.The "net" property
would be the property "net" of the two buildings and lots of sufficient size to make them
standard lots.
2) The City would consider the issuance of a General Obligation Bond to you in the
amount of the purchase price, payable over 10 years with an interest rate of 6.5 %. This
would be a tax exempt bond and the interest would not be subject to either State or
Federal income tax as the payments are received by the holder.
3) The City would agree with the owner that the City is paying less than fair market value
for the property. This could result in a deduction against income tax payable for the year
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612- 439 -6121

•
to the extent of 50% of your adjusted gross income in the year of the gift. If the entire
deduction is not used in one year the deduction could be carried forward for as many as
five years until it is fully used. However, the City could make no promises to you about
the deductibility of such a gift, since it could be subject to the Bargain Sale Rules enacted
in the Tax Reform Act of 1989, and you would have to obtain your own legal advise on
the deductibility of any portion of such a gift.
4) The City would assume all expenses associated with obtaining a survey of the premise,
and subdividing the two houses that the orould retain. The City would also attempt _.
to configure the legal descriptions of the parcels to maximize their road access and to
insure each parcel would be freely transferable to future buyers and not be landlocked by
the Park that would be created on the remaining land.
5) Finally, the City would be responsible for the demolition of the old Oak Glen barn, the
cement storage building, the old Oak Glen Dairy building and for the associated clean up
of the area, at no cost to the seller.
Please understand that this offer is contingent upon Council approval. If this offer is acceptable
to you in concept, I will present same to the City Council for further discussion and "fine
tuning" of the proposal.
Sincerely, -
.

Memorandum
June 11, 1998
To: Mayor & Council
From: Marcy Cordes, A ative Assistant
Re: City of Stillwater Website
A revised and updated version of the City's website is now back on -line. We have removed the
site from the high school server, and have chosen the MTN network to house our revised site.
(MTN also houses the websites of the Cities of Fridley, Hopkins, and Minneapolis). Please note
the address has been changed slightly to conform with uniform government naming conventions,
and can now be accessed at http: / /www.ci.stillwater.mn.us.
The design of the site remains basically the same, however, there are many additions, including
more expanded solid waste information, zoning maps, annexation area information, planning
case forms, the Comprehensive Plan, licensing and election information, and additional
information on City Commissions. Many thanks to Diane Ward, Engineering Secretary, who did
the lion's share of the work, including format changes, content updates, and html language and
link repair. Thanks also to Diane's supervisor, Klayton Eckles, for letting her spend time on the
project.
There are on -going changes that still need to be made, including the expansion of the Police and
Fire Department pages. Within the next couple of months, we should have Building Inspection,
and Engineering/Public Works pages, and a revised Administration page which will include
access to the recently revised Municipal Code. We also hope to introduce some interactive forms
by the end of the year.
The re- activation of the website is also coinciding with the introduction of internet and internet
e -mail access for all employees who use a networked computer, which is scheduled to be up and
running within the next two weeks. My hope is that other departments, who will soon have easy
access to the renewed website, will be interested in assisting us with content development,
allowing us to improve the site's ability to provide information and services to the growing
number of internet users in the area.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney V
DATE: June 11, 1998
SUBJECT: Larson, Huntsman and Yacht Club Acquisitions
RICHARD D. ALLEN
The City has previously obtained appraisals of both the Huntsman and Larson properties and has
attempted to negotiate voluntary acquisitions of this property with both owners. In view of the
extensive easements over both parcels, our appraiser determined, based on 1996 values, that the
Lerson parcel had a value of five thousand two hundred and no /100 dollars ($5,200.00). With
regard to the Hunsmann parcel, our appraiser determined the value to be fourteen thousand three
• hundred and no /100 dollars ($14,300.00). Both of these parcels would allow the City, except for
the Washington County parcel, to own all of the property west of Neal Avenue, north of the
Minnesota Transportation Department tracks and south of McKusick Road, which should
facilitate the construction of the planned park for the area.
With respect to the Yacht Club property, as the Council knows, the City has title to the entire
Mulberry Point property based upon an acquisition from Glacier Park Railroad in 1992.
=Currently theYacht Club anchors a dock to the property and conducts a launching area based
upon a historical lease from the City and for the last two (2) years, a license issued annually by
the City for that purpose. However, because of a 1985 City Resolution, it could be argued that
St. Croix Yacht Club owns some riparian rights on Mulberry Point to conduct the boat launching
area and, therefore, the Army Corps of Engineers has insisted that we clear these rights in order
to have title sufficient for their purposes. Our appraiser determined, based upon a loss of income
for the launch ramp and assuming the Yacht Club has riparian rights to conduct the launch ramp,
that acquisition of the riparian rights in perpetuity would have a value of seventeen thousand
three hundred and no /100 dollars ($17,300.00). The Corps insists that this acquisition be
undertaken.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE NECESSITY
FOR AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF
CERTAIN PROPERTY BY PROCEEDINGS IN EMINENT DOMAIN
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the City of Stillwater should establish
a new park west of Neal Avenue, South of McKusick Road and North of the Minnesota Zephyr
Railroad tracks and in furtherance of that purpose has acquired through negotiations with owners
and based on appraisals obtained by the City two (2) parcels in furtherance of these purpose; and,
WHEREAS, previous negotiations with the owners of two (2) additional parcels have not
lead to a voluntary purchase and in furtherance of the park plan it is necessary for the City to
obtain the remaining two (2) parcels.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater
as follows:

TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Sports Complex items
DA: June 12, 1998
Discussion:
1. Priority Use Classification Policy
The attached priority use policy was developed after surveying several public operated
facilities. In fact, the proposed policy is almost identical to that which was adopted by the
City of Woodbury for the Bielinberg complex.
The policy gives priority to the general "public use" of the facilities such as open skating,
skating lessons and other skating programs that are usually not associated with organized
programs (e.g., hockey and soccer associations). This means that the City (through its
management company) must provide a reasonable number of hours both prime and non-
prime time, for "public" skating. However, in reality, the majority of the hours will be sold to
major users such as ISD 834 and the two associations.
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the Use classification Policy at their June 8
meeting and the Commission is recommending adoption of the policy.
2. Proposed Fee Schedule
_
The attached Fee schedule was also developed after reviewing the fees of many other public
facilities. Although the ice time hourly rate is slightly higher than the average ice time rate,
the fees, overall, are very comparable to what other providers are charging. The fees are
comparable and they are also what will be needed to try to keep the operations in the black.
The Park and Recreation Commission also reviewed the Fee schedule and they are
recommending adoption of the schedule.
3. Vending /concession supply proposals
MEMORANDUM
The city solicited proposals from Pepsi Cola Co. ( "Pepsi ") and Midwest Coca -Cola Bottling
Co. ( "Coke "). The proposals were very favorable and exceeded expectations. Staff is
recommending that the proposal received from coke be accepted and that the City enters into
a 7 -year agreement with Coke (the 7 -year proposal is valued at $317,554).
The Coke proposal (see attached 7 year proposal summary) would provide an up front
payment of $75,000 and a signing bonus of $15,000. Coke would also provide $1000 for the
Grand Opening event and $2000 per year for promotion of future events (CUB would
provide this support).
The vending machine commission will be 45% of sales for 20oz containers and 40% for
other containers. Coke is guaranteeing $21,392 per year on commissions. However, if we
use Pepsi's estimate of sales volume it would appear that commissions could go as high as
$40,000+ per year. In fact, I believe it is necessary to use Pepsi's estimate of sales volume in
order to make an accurate comparison between the two proposals.
For example, if we just look at the numbers shown on the proposal it would appear that
Pepsi's proposal is more favorable. This is because Pepsi is showing commission revenue of
$40,419 to $49,106 for a total of $223,289 over a 5 year period whereas Coke is showing
commission revenue of $21,392 per year for a 5 year total of $106,960. However, Coke is
showing a "guaranteed amount and not what the actual commissions will most likely be (i.e.,
the commission revenue for Coke would probably be around $220,000+ over a 5 year period
and over $280,000+ over a 7 year period).
The Coke proposal suggests that the money could be used to purchase equipment such as
scoreboards, etc. However, the proposal does not appear to include any conditions or
requirements that the money be used for any specific item. This might mean that we can
continue to solicit funds for the purchase of the equipment for the right to place advertising
on the equipment (we will have to verify this).
Recommendation:
Council adopt Use Classification Policy and Fee schedule and award vending /concession
contract to Midwest Coca -Cola, Co. based on 7 year proposal.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steve Russell
Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Final Plat Approval of Phase I,
65 lots, Legends of Stillwater
BACKGROUND:
MEMORANDUM
On February 3, 1998, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the 155 lot Legends
of Stillwater project. As a part of the approval, an extensive list of Conditions of Approval was
approved and attached to this report as Exhibit "A ". All conditions applicable to the first phase of
subdivision approval are included in the final plat submittal or as conditioned. Since the February
3 preliminary plat approval the City of Stillwater has entered into agreements with the development
for the extension of City Utilities to the site and for development of public utility improvements.
The City has received security to ensure that the first phase public improvements (constructed by the
developer) will be installed and completed in a timely manner to City standards.
• The first phase final plat is similar and not substantially different from the approved
preliminary plat so only City Council approval is needed to allow filing of the final plat.
Along with this staff report is the complete final plat application package. Staff has reviewed
each document and found it consistent with City policy, development standards, preliminary plat
approval and conditions of approval. Attached to this staff report are comments on minor changes or
clarifications needed to make sure actual site development is carried out according to this approval.
The first phase final plat includes 65 lots, 15 lakeshore, 15 traditional and 35 cottage. The
developer intends to sell the cottage lots to one builder and market the individual lots to realtors or
owners. Special traditional neighborhood design guidelines and lakeshore and traditional
development regulations will be used to develop and review design of each lot by the Legends
Architectural Control Committee and Planning Staff.
No final Planned Unit Development (PUD) permit is required for the individual traditional
and lakeshore lots. In effect final PUD review will take place as design review of the individual lot
development plans.
Two park areas are part of future phases of development. If possible, it is recommended the
areas be dedicated to the City with the recording of this first phase plat.
A general forest management plan has been submitted for the project. The open space
conservation easement limits tree removal in the open space area. Any tree trimming or vegetation
removal requires City Planing Department approval. Recently, the City hired a City Forest to assist
City staff in reviewing requests to trim or remove trees.
In the letter of application the developer is asking for clarification of the cottage zoning
garage setback requirement. The ordinance should be clarified to indicate the six (6) foot setback as
measured from the front of the porch or residence in the cottage development as in the case in the
traditional and lakeshore districts.
Listed below are the contents of an application for individual building permit, site plans and
architectural review approval.
1. Site survey drawing showing topography, drainage and erosion control measures.
2. Site plan showing required setbacks, open space area and building envelope.
3. Master site landscape plan using approved native plan natural list.
4. Elevation drawing of four sides of structure indicating type and quality of building
materials.
5. Letter indicating Legends Architectural Control Committee's approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of final plat as submitted with the following conditions:
1. All park areas shall be dedicated to the City with first phase final plat approval.
2. Curbing detail, sidewalk and street crossings shall be constructed as approved by the
City Engineer and Community Development Director.
3. The City Attorney shall approve the CCR and ES.
4. The City Engineer shall approve the grading and utility plans for final construction.
5. The application submittal information listed above shall be provided by the developer
for site plan, landscape and architectural review.
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting
Resolution No. 98 -, APPROVING FINAL PLAT FOR FIRST PHASE OF LEGENDS OF
STILLWATER and clarify Cottage Zone district garage setback requirement.
Attachment: Letter of Submittal, Application and Final Plat Document, Preliminary Plat,
Conditions of Approval, Cottage Zone District Regulations.

L. Hormuth - DNR Letter
At the Final Plat meeting, Ordinance #854 needs to be amended relative to Footnote 1 of
Subparagraph 4 as it relates to a definition of "a minimum of 25% of the lots must have
garages completely recessed more than 6' from the front of building" should be changed so
that it is "6' from the front of building or porch line of house ". The present language
creates a disincentive to add porches. If one were to have a 6' foot porch in front of the
house line and a requirement for a garage to be recessed 6' feet behind the front of the
house, a 12' foot recessed garage is going to add cost and limit lot locations. The
language should be identical to both the Lakeshore and Traditional District.
I would like to have a five or ten minute workshop meeting with the Council to discuss
this Ordinance which I believe may still create substantial market restrictions on the sale

• MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Council
From: Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Date: June 16, 1998
Subject: Additional Information on Stone Chimney
Enclosed with this memo is information prepared by Donald Empson, Historian, on the history
of the chimney and a cost estimate from Bailey Construction on the cost of tuck pointing and
capping off the chimney.
I understand the property owner has requested a continuation of consideration on this item.
Memo To the Stillwater City Council
Re: The stone chimney on Quarry Lane
June 16, 1998
DONALD EMPSON
Certified Guarantor
Attached are three items illustrating the purpose of the stone chimney
on Quarry Lane.
1.) A 10 x 17 copy of a page from the 1884 Sanborn Insurance Atlas
illustrating the Northwestern Mill, and the underground flume extending
under the road and hillside to the chimney above.
2.) Two pages from the Stillwater Lumberman of Friday, April 23, 1875
describing the Northwestern Mill and the smokestack (chimney) and cistern
that were on the hill above the mill.
3.) A copy of a photograph of the mill with the chimney in the
background, and a history of the mill.
This mill, usually known as the Hersey, Brown and Bean Mill, was one
of the first in Stillwater, built in 1853 -1854. There is an account of the early
Mill, financed with capital from Maine, in The Daily Minnesotian, September
13, 1854. During the 1860's, `70's, and '80's, it was one of the largest of
Stillwater's lumber mills, and most of the working men (as well as Hersey and
Bean) who lived on the South Hill above the Mill worked there. In fact, in a
time when everyone had to walk to work, the neighborhood above the Mill was
almost a company town.
In my opinion, the remaining chimney is a valuable artifact of an
institution and an era that dominated Stillwater's economy for half a century,
and provided jobs for hundreds of working men. If it becomes necessary, I
believe the city does have it within its power to exercise the right of eminent
domain in a situation like this.
If I can be of further assistance, I would be pleased to do so.

Bean, and Edward 3. Brown. From 1880 to 1884 by the four Hersey brothers,

A special to the Chicago Tribune, from
Oshkosh says: "Reports froin the Wolf
river pinerics show that the total logcrop
this season will not exceed 120,000,000
feet. This isAit the same as last year's
product while ejlo ntunbcr of firms and
men engaged has been much greater.
Owing to the deep snows, cold weather,
and bad road¢, the winter has been very
unfavorable for longing. The amount of
old lops in this city and adjacent streams,
which will reach the mills before the new
crop, is estimntcd b,v good judges at 20,-
000.000 feet, but this will not supply the
mills for more than half the time. Con -
scqucntly, as the new crop 'cannot reach
market earlier than July 1st, the ap-
proaching season does not augur very
favorably. Several largo establishments
in this city. and Pon du Lac will not start
tip until several weeks later than usual,
and one or two will remain idle all season.
Still, lumbermen are and hope
for better prices. One sale of sixty car
loads,.¢ day or two since, was made at •
slight advance • over ruling prices,. and
several others have been made since then
at an advance: The recent advgneoin the
Minneapolis market has. helped the mar-
ket-here, and the lumbermen anticipate a

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Subject: Report on Structural Condition of Quarry Chimney
Date: June 10, 1998
A site visit and structural examination of the chimney was conducted by Jeff Johnson, an
engineer with SEH, on June 8, 1998. A letter on the condition of the chimney is attached.
Basically, the structure is in sound condition with continued weathering of the exposed top of the
chimney. Pieces of the structure loosen up over time have fallen off or are removed. The owner
has lived at this location for seven years and has removed top pieces once. This does not appear
at this time to represent a public safety issue.
Recommendation: Accept report. No City action recommended.

RE: City of Stillwater
Quarry Chimney Base Inspection
SEH No. A- STILL9710.00, File 62
An inspection of the quarry chimney base located on the property of Patricia Hanson was made in
her presence on Monday, June 8, 1998. Mr. Chuck Bailey, a local masonry contractor, was also
present to assist with development of the cost estimate for repair. The chimney is approximately 20
feet square at the base with a tapper that narrows as it rises in height. The height above grade varies
from approximately four feet on the west side to 30 feet on the east. The upper portion of the
chimney and the brick flue that enters at the base have been removed. It is located on the edge of a
steep bluff and is likely supported on bedrock. Construction is of cut limestone laid in an ashlar
pattern with lime mortar joints. The walls are approximately three feet thick. Portions of a red brick
flue that ascends to the chimney from the east still remain.
Probing of the footing indicated no undermining The structure stands true and plumb. No
significant cracks or signs of settlement or movement were observed. The chimney is likely founded
on limestone bedrock to have remained in this condition when located so close to the edge of the
bluff. The stone blocks that form the chimney are sound and show negligible signs of deterioration.
They are dense and homogeneous with minimal lamination strata. The lime mortar is hard and in
surprisingly good condition with no indication of repair or tuckpointing work since it was abandon.
The mortar has eroded back from the face of the stone opening the joints to a depth of one to three
inches over approximately one third of the face area. This loss of mortar is most significant on the
south and west sides. The tight fit of the cut stone aid in retaining the mortar and has resulted in
negligible loss of face stone. The top surface of the walls are irregular due to the earlier removal of
the upper portion of the chimney. Smaller stone filler that comprises the center of the wall is exposed
to the weather. These filler stones and bonding mortar are loose and easily dislodged.
Approximately eight stones have recently been removed by mechanical means and lay on the ground
on the west side of the chimney. Additional stone may have been removed from the site.

Mr. Steve Russell

It is my opinion that the chimney is stable overall and that the stone is in good condition. The top
surface and exposed filler stone is loose and can be easily be dislodged. A cap of stone and mortar
should be constructed to seal the walls from infiltrating water and to prevent further removal of
stone. Tuckpointing should be performed with lime mortar on the surfaces that have lost more than
one inch of mortar. This will limit water that can enter the face to deteriorate the stone and hold the
stone in place. It is important that any restoration effort not detract from the historical elements of
the chimney. The cap should not result in removal of intact stone. The tuckpointing must use lime
mortar and be colored to match the existing mortar. An estimate of cost will be made for this work
by Mr. Bailey.
Sincerely,
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

AND U.S. MAIL
Pursuant to your request, I am providing you a written update on the above- referenced matter. My
understanding is there is a City Council meeting scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 p.m..
Mr. Borum and I intend to be present at the meeting. As you will recall, we have represented to the City
that the only impediment to closing on this matter appeared to be receiving "preliminary" approval from
the National Park Service qualifying the project for federal historic rehabilitation tax credits, and the
completion of the necessary legal documentation. After we received the preliminary approval from the
National Park Service, we proceeded with requesting our funding source in New York to complete the
necessary documentation to close the transaction. Much to our chagrin and that of our equity partner, it
appears that the individual and company providing our financing source is unable to complete the
transaction.
We have a significant deposit with that company and have requested a refund. To date, we have not
received that and we will be pursuing our rights.
The determination that our financing was illusory was recently made. Based on that, we have undertaken
steps to provide alternative sources to complete the project. Those are as follows:
1. Mr. Steve Hearn, of The Hearn Companies in Chicago, introduced us to an individual who
has provided financing for Mr. Hearn's company in the past, is involved in several hotel
projects of his own and has provided financing for other hotel projects, including those in
Minnesota and the Minneapolis /St. Paul area. We have supplied him with the necessary
documentation regarding our transaction to go forward to secure necessary financing. I
met him in Chicago. He has visited the site with us in Minneapolis. He has three lenders

interested in providing us the financing. In order to go forward with the next step, it will
require us to expend significant additional sums of money for his expenses, including
airfare, updating the appraisal, feasibility study, and other items the lender may require.
He has stated that the entire process could take up to 120 days. His name is Mr. Stephen
A. Weiss. He is President of Fortune Financial Corporation, 3000 Dundee Road,
Suite 212, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062. Please call him at (847) 480 -8884.
2. We have entered into negotiations with Mr. David Sweet, Chief Executive Officer of
Regency Inns Management, Inc., Sioux Falls, South Dakota. His company manages
several Radissons, including the Arrowwood Conference Center in Alexandria, Minnesota.
His company also owns approximately 47 hotels. They have spent an extensive amount of
time researching the market, etc., and feel comfortable with our project, but need to
confirm the costing structure, etc., with their architect. if we were to enter into an
agreement with them, it would most likely be in the nature of them taking over as
developers and completing the project, with Mr. Borum and myself acting as consultants.
Obviously, before we would finalize any agreement regarding the project, we would seek
the City's consent. We feel comfortable with this company, in that, all of the hotels it
owns or manages are profitable and it has experience with conference centers and with
Radisson. They also have their own stable of equity investors ar.d financing sources.
3. We have also entered into negotiations with other developers who own other hotel projects
and who have their own funding available.
4. We have contacted the St. Paul Port Authority and are in preliminary negotiations with
them regarding financing or becoming an equity partner.
In order for us to go forward with the alternative financing source by providing additional sums of money,
we need to know that the City is stilt willing to work with us while we complete what is necessary. We
have been diligently pursuing all avenues and will continue to do so. We are as frustrated as you are, if
not more so, but we are still willinp commit the tune, effort and funds necessary to go forward. Please
review this and contact me wih'any questions you may have. By copy of this letter to Ms. Morli
Weldon, I ask her to provide c. 4iies to other interested City staff, Mayor Kimble, and Council Members.
Very truly yours,

City Engineer
SUBJECT: Sanitary Service to 216 W Wilkins
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a proposal from FuhrTrenching to install a manhole and sewer pipe to
serve the home at 216 W. Wilkins Street. The estimated cost is $3,800, which is more
than staff had originally anticipated. The additional cost is due to the presence of a
telephone conduit that makes the project more difficult to construct.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council accept the proposal from Fug Trenching to
complete these improvements. The costs could be charged against the Public Works
Contractor Services Fund.
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion
Resolution No. 98- , ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FROM FUHR TRENCHING
FOR MANHOLE IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE 216 W. WILKINS.
ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FROM FUHR TRENCHING FOR MANHOLE

FROM: Shawn Sanders, Civil Engineer
DATE: June 16, 1998
RE: Lakeside Drive Storm Sewer Repair
The storm sewer inlet that drains Lakeside Drive and the surrounding area is a system
that has reached its service capacity. Currently, storm runoff enters into this system from
three separate drainage areas; runoff from Lakeside Drive that drains over a concrete
spillway, runoff from Lake Street that drains into a concrete flume and a 30" culvert at
the west intersection of Lakeside Drive and Hazel Street that outlets in to a drainage
ravine. All three drainage areas drain into a concrete swale that enters into a 36" pipe
with a grated inlet. During significant storm events, the grated inlet gets clogged from
debris and backs up flow into the concrete swale causing runoff to overflow onto the
Rumpf's driveway into the marina. Also, the slope between Lakeside Drive and Lake
Street has seen some erosion after the construction of the water main service to the
Rumpf property. There is evidence for concern of this drainage system and improvements
to the system should be made to minimize erosion and eliminate the problem of the
system overflowing.
The Engineering department has looked at the current drainage system and has developed
a plan that would solve the above mentioned problems and would also drain the area
effectively. It is proposed to install 100 total feet of 30" and 36" concrete pipe to connect
the open ends of the existing storm sewer and add four storm sewer structures to catch the
overland flow. By adding the storm sewer, we would be able to add material over the
pipe and grade the area to match the existing topography. The area would then be seeded
to establish vegetation and prevent erosion of the slopes.
Proposals for the storm sewer extension were sent to four contractors with three
submitting bids with Fuhr Trenching Inc. submitting the low bid of $23,850.50. Fuhr
Trenching has satisfactorily constructed several projects similar in size and is more than
capable in completing this project for the City. Funding for this project would be paid
for by the Storm Water Utility.
In projects of the size, the Engineering Department ordinarily would try to have a
Contractor who is under contract for City project to perform the work via a change
order. Since, Fuhr Trenching is not performing any work for the City at this time, we
will require him to enter into an agreement and provide bonding for this project.
RECOMMENDATION ::
Staff feels the bid from Fuhr Trenching Inc for the extension of the storm sewer on the
at Lakeside Drive is reasonable and recommends that the project be awarded to Fuhr
Trenching Inc. in the amount of $23,850.50.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting
Resolution No. 98 ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
LAKESIDE STORM EXTENSION (PROJECT 9734A).

SUBJECT: Proposed Assessment Refund
419 W Maple Street
DISCUSSION:
The property located 419 W Maple Street was part of the City's 1995 Sidewalk
Rehabilitation Program. At that time most of the sidewalk along this property was
replaced. Over the winter there was significant deterioration in the surface of the
sidewalk, therefore in 1996 the deteriorated sections were replaced. Over the course of
the following winter the sidewalk deteriorated again. In 1997 staff and the contractor for
the project experimented with latex fillers to fill the deteriorated areas. The latex filler
did not adequately restore the sidewalk.
Staff has investigated further and talked to sidewalk and concrete experts and it
appears that it is very possible salt or some other deicing chemical could be responsible.
Staff has researched the issue and appears the best method of addressing this problem is
preventative in nature. By using special concrete mixes and/or sealant for late season
concrete pours, this problem can be minimized. However, this solution does not address
the already existing inferior sidewalk in front of this property.
Staff has talked to the property owner and staff is suggesting that a partial refund
be given to the property owner, as compensation for a sidewalk that is not a superior final
product. Even though the sidewalk has some deterioration, it still should have many
years of life. Given that it would be expensive and disruptive to go in and replace the
imperfect surfaces, the best solution appears to be a partial refund of the assessment.
Based on the area that is somewhat deteriorated, staff is recommending that a refund be
made for work on 225 square feet of the sidewalk at $2.00 per square foot, or $450.00.
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion
adopting Resolution No. 98 -_, RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PARTIAL
REFUND OF ASSESSMENTS FOR 419 W. MAPLE STREET.

NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved in consideration that the sidewalk on the
property located at 419 W Maple Street is not a superior final product that a partial
assessment refund of $450.00 is hereby approved.

Attention: Clayton Eckles,
To Whom it May Concern,
Stillwater Junior High School would like to have the cornerstone dated 1923 from the
arch of the old West Wing Junior High building. We have made arrangements to
place this in concrete at the flag pole at the new Junior High. The remainder of the
stones stored in the city lot on 5th Street will not be used due to the extremely high
cost of construction of the arch as previously discussed.
This letter is to inform you that we will not be using the other stones and that you
should dispose of them or use them as you decide.
• The SJHS student government requests that the city please deliver the stone to the
flagpole area at the junior high on Marsh Street or move it out so it is easily accessible
to the mason during the work. We realize that breakage could occur as the stone is
moved. Thank you.

RE:
DISCUSSION:
In recent weeks, the City has received a significant amount of rainfall from recent
storm event. One of the areas affected from these storms has been the newly
constructed Fourth Street Ravine Project. The riprap spillway, between the outlet apron
and the pond, has experienced significant erosion, due to the amount of storm runoff
exiting from the storm sewer system. Future storm events will continue washout the
spillway and eventually erode the area around the apron. The Engineering Department
is currently looking at the option of extending the storm sewer pipe from the apron to
the pond, and eliminating any possibility of the spillway washing out at the entrance to
the pond.
Proposals for the storm sewer extension were sent to four contractors with three
submitting bids to the City with M.J. Raleigh Trucking Inc. submitting the low bid of
$23,800.00 (see attached change order). Raleigh Trucking is also the contractor who
constructed the Fourth Street Ravine Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff feels the M.J. Raleigh's bid for the extension of the storm sewer on the Fourth
Street Ravine Storm Sewer Project is reasonable and recommends that a change order
be approved to the Fourth Street Ravine Project in the amount of $23,800.00.

SUBJECT: Revised Location for Traffic Circle to Liberty Property and Rutherford School
The original traffic circle and right turn lane shown on the preliminary plat for access off of Co. Rd.12
to the Liberty project does not meet state and county access standards for that road. A revised plan has
been developed that eliminates the right in,ht out to the commercial area and locates the new traffic
circle access point 950 feet east of Co. Rd. 15/12 intersection. This location has been approved by the
county. The city's traffic engineer has also approved the design. The school district supports the
location and as early as possible construction (see attached letter).
Of concern is that Settler's Park is reduced from 3.08 to 2.79 acres and split into two pieces. This makes
the park less usable for play field activities. To address the loss of park land, staff recommends the
developer consider eliminating four lots and changing the residential development type around the park
and next to the commercial area from single family to townhouse single family. The developer is
considering this change but cannot commit to it at this time. Staff recommends approving the new
traffic circle location with the condition that the Settlers Park be in one location and area not reduced.
(The new traffic circle will require a revision in the preliminary plat and possible rezoning).

Approval of new traffic circle design with the condition that the park location and site remain similar to

Hopefully, this access can be approved and construction begin. School will begin on

Dear Mayor Kimble and City Council Members,
As members of the Trillium Chapter of the Perennial Garden Club of Stillwater, we
would like to request that you and the Stillwater City Council take action to clear the
title on Stillwater's public Rock Garden and Water Fountain, located on North Second
Street across from the Lowell Inn. Clearing the title would assure its continued public
use by both city residents and visitors.
This Rock Garden and Water Fountain have been enjoyed by the public since they
were created in 1934 by the Stillwater Water Department. Our Garden Club has
tended the Rock Garden for over 30 years, and have weeded, watered and planted a
variety of plants, including many from our own gardens. Plants have also been
• donated by the Stillwater Water Department plus local businesses and citizens, and our
club has hired a rock garden expert to help design the garden. We take pride in this
lovely alpine garden, and have received many positive comments from local citizens
who love to visit this quiet little park in the middle of downtown Stillwater.
We believe that there is strong public sentiment for the Rock Garden and Water
Fountain to remain public domain.
We appreciate your consideration of this matter.

BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Operation
The Board of Water Commissioners is a component unit of the City of Stillwater, created and
prescribed by the City Charter. The purpose of the Commission is to account for the
distribution of water services to the residents of the City. The City Council appoints
members of the Commission and maintains annual budgetary controls over commission -
delegated financial activities. The financial statements presented here are also included in
the general purpose financial statements of the City of Stillwater.
The accounting policies of the Board of Water Commissioners conform to generally
accepted accounting principles.
Financial Reporting Entity
The Commission's general purpose financial statements include all funds, = `account groups,
departments, agencies, boards, commissions, and other organizations over which
Commission officials exercise oversight responsibility.
Component units are legally separate entities for which the Commission (primary
govemment) is financially accountable, or for which the exclusion of the component unit
would render the financial statements of the primary govemment misleading. The criteria
used to determine if the primary govemment is financially accountable for a component unit
include whether or not the primary govemment appoints the voting majority of the potential
component unit's goveming body, is able to impose its will on the potential component unit,
is in a relationship of financial benefit or burden with the potential component unit, or is
fiscally depended upon by the potential component unit.
Based on these criteria, there are no organizations considered to be component units of the
Commission.
_ Basis of Accounting
The accrual basis of accounting is used by the Commission. Under this method, revenues
are recorded when eamed and become measurable and expenses are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred. The Commission has elected to follow Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements as its authoritative guidance for
accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Utility Plant, Property, and Equipment
Utility plant, property, and equipment is recorded at cost, or in the case of contributions, at
fair market value at the time received. Depreciation is calculated using the straight -line
method over the assets' estimated useful lives, ranging from five to fifty years. Depreciation
recognized on property that has been donated by property owners to the Commission is
closed to the contributed capital account.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash equivalents are defined as short -
term, highly liquid investments that are both:
A. Readily convertible to known amounts of cash, or
B. So near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of
changes in interest rates.
The Commission's policy considers cash equivalents to be those that meet the above criteria
and have original maturities of three months or less.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking and savings certificate accounts and cash on
hand.
Accounts Receivable
It is management's judgment that losses from uncollectible customer receivables, if any, will
be immaterial; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is reflected in the financial
statements. Accounts receivable are uncollateraiized.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first -in, first -out method) or market.
NOTE 2 DETAIL OF FIXED ASSETS
The following list includes the major classes of fixed assets:

NOTE 8 PENSION PLANS
During 1996, the Commission adopted GASB Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by
State and Local Govemmental Employers, which established standards for the
measurement, recognition, and display of pension expense and related liabilities, assets,
and note disclosures in the financial reports of state and local government employers.
Adoption of the statement had no effect on the Commission's 1996 general purpose financial
statements.
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION
Plan Description
All full -time and certain part-time employees of the Commission are covered by defined
benefit pension plans administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of
Minnesota (PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF)
which is a cost - sharing, multiple- employer retirement plan. This plan is established and
administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353 and 356.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or the Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan
members are covered by Social Security and Basic Plan members are not. All new
members must participate in the Coordinated Plan.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to
survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by State Statute, and
vest after three years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a
member's highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age,
and years of credit at termination of service.
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERF's Coordinated and Basic Plan
members. The retiring member receives the higher of step -rate benefit accrual formula
(Method 1) or a level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate
for a Basic Plan member who retires before July 1, 1997, is 2 percent of average salary for
each of the first 10 years of service and 2.5 percent for each remaining year. The annuity
accrual rate for Basic members who retire on or after July 1, 1997, is 2.2 percent of average
salary for each of the first 10 years of services and 2.7 percent for each remaining year. For
a Coordinated Plan member who retires before Juiy 1, 1997, the annuity accrual rate is 1
percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.5 percent for each remaining
year.

NOTE 8 PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
For Coordinated members who retire on or after July 1, 1997, the annuity accrual rates
increase by 0.2 percent (to 1.2 percent of average salary for each of the first 10 years and
1.7 percent for each remaining year). Using Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.5
percent of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.5 percent for Coordinated Plan
members who retire before July 1, 1997. Annuity accrual rates increase 0.2 percent for
members who retire on or after July 1, 1997. For PERF members whose annuity is
calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal
90. A reduced retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early
retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A normal
annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree, no survivor annuity is
payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which
will reduce the monthly normal annuity amount, because the annuity is payable over joint
lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the fund upon termination of public
service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age. Refunds of contributions
are available at any time to members who leave public service, but before retirement
benefits begirt.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current
provisions and apply to active plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are
entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet, are bound by the provisions in effect at the
time they last terminated their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and
required supplementary information for PERF. That report may be obtained by writing to
PERA, 514 St. Peter Street #200, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55102 or by calling (612) 296 -7460 or
1 -800- 652 -9026.

Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions.
These statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The Commission
makes annual contributions to the pension plans equal to the amount required by state
statutes. PERF Basic Plan members and Coordinated Plan members are required to
contribute 8.23% and 4.23 %, respectively, of their annual covered salary. The Commission
is required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered payroll: 10.73% for
Basic Plan PERF members, and 4.48% for Coordinated Plan PERF members. The
Commission's contributions for the years ending December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 were
$14,318, S14,231, and $13,601, respectively, equal to the contractually required
contributions for each year as set by state statute.
(12)
NOTE 9 NONCASH TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Commission recorded as fixed assets on its
books $80,709 of water main extensions that were contributed to the Commission by
property owners. This transaction did not include an outlay of cash, and is therefore not
recorded on the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1997.
NOTE 10 RECLASSIFICATION BETWEEN CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL AND RETAINED EARNINGS
During the year ended December 31, 1997, a detail analysis of property and equipment
records revealed that the net book value of contributed assets was $191,269 less than the
contributed capital recorded in the capitalization section of the balance sheet. Based on this
analysis, beginning retained eamings for 1996 was increased by $191,269 and beginning
contributed capital for 1996 was decreased by $191,269.

Minutes
Stillwater Charter Commission
May 18, 1998
Present: Chairman Timothy Old, Steve Keister, Nancy Purcell, Don Valsvik, Kathy Czar,
Mary Ruch
Absent: Howard Lieberman
Guest: Katie O'Brien — Stillwater Gazette, Nile Kriesel, Marcy Cordes, Bob Kimbrel,
Chuck Donnelly
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Old at 7:10 p.m.
A motion was made by Mr. Keister, and seconded by Mr. Valsvik to table the approval of
minutes from April 20 until the next meeting when members have had a chance to look them
over. All in favor.
Presentation by Nile Kriesel. City Coordinator on Conflict of Interest
Mr. Kriesel joined the group to discuss the Conflict of Interest Charter Amendment that is being
proposed. Mr. Kriesel stated several concerns about the amendment:
• Nothing in past history has justified such an amendment
• The present state statute has enough language in it to deal with any problems that might
occur
• The additional workload of staffing and administering a Board of Ethics
• Would the Board of Ethics have the capacity to make legal determinations
• Due process
• Wording already exists in the Policy and Procedures manual regarding conflict of interest
issues
• The process would be cumbersome and could cause undue harassment of public officials and
employees.
There was a lot of discussion regarding these concerns. The Charter Commission has worked on
the amendment for 18 months and many of these issues were taken into consideration. The
amendment would be enacted to protect because the Board of Ethics could act as an advisory
board for public officials or public employees who wish to know if their interests may be in
conflict with the public good. The Board of Ethics would be comprised of the chairs of all City
Boards and Commissions. Ms. Purcell stated that this decision was made because these people
are already involved and committed to the welfare of the City. Mr. Old stated that even though
there may not seem to be a need for it now, we need to look down the road 10, 20 or 30 years as
the City grows when everyone doesn't know everyone else. Mr. Keister stated that it is
important for the City to adopt a Conflict of Interest policy because the City Attorney can be put
in the untenable position of having to make an ethical decision about the people that employ him.
Mr. Valsvik stated that he felt that before an issue went before the Board of Ethics someone
would have to determine if it was a conflict of interest and that would probably fall to the City
Attorney. He felt that there needed to be some process in place to control the "nuisance factor"
Discussion ensued regarding what would make the amendment more acceptable. Several issues
were broached including eliminating the formation of the Board of Ethics and using a different
enforcement mechanism and passing the Conflict of Interest Statement as an Ordinance rather
than a Charter Amendment.
Mr. Old asked if there were any other issues where Mr. Kriesel felt we were not on common
ground. There was discussion regarding public employees in terms of labor agreements,
clarifying definitions regarding personal benefit and financial interest, and which chairs would
be included on the Board.
It was decided that Ms. Purcell would talk to Dave Magnuson, City Attorney regarding concerns
about the Board of Ethics .
Mr. Old also asked Mr. Kriesel if there were things he felt the Charter Commission should be
looking at in the next few years. Mr. Kriesel stated that he would like to attend another meeting
to discuss his ideas.
After Mr. Kriesel and Ms. Cordes left the meeting there was some discussion regarding what the
Charter Commission plans to do. There will be a workshop held on Tuesday, May 19 regarding
this amendment and it was decided that if the Council has some serious concerns then the
Charter Commission will consider other options they present.
A motion was made by Ms. Ruch and seconded by Ms. Purcell to appoint Mr. Keister and Ms.
Czar as spokespeople for the workshop. The vote was three ayes and two nays with Ms. Czar
abstaining from the vote.
Candidate Interviews — Chuck Donnelly
Mr. Donnelly joined the group to discuss possible appointment to the Charter Commission. The
group asked Mr. Donnelly questions regarding his background, interest in Stillwater, decision
making methods, and ideas regarding the Charter Commission.
A motion was made by Ms. Czar and seconded by Mr. Valsvik, to recommend Chuck Donnelly
to the Chief Judge for appointment to the Charter Commission. All in favor.
A motion was made by Ms. Czar and seconded by Mr. Valsvik, to recommend that Mary Ruch
be appointed (with vigor) to another term to the Charter Commission.
A motion was made by Ms. Ruch and seconded by Ms. Czar to adjourn the meeting a 9:20 p.m.

STILLWATER LEVEE REBUILDING
MOVES FORWARD
Luther >•equests federal funnag
(WASHLNGTON, DC) —Rep. Bill Luther has annourced that the US. House of' Representatives Energy and
Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee has approved his request for $2.4 million for the next stages of
reconstruction of the Stillwater levee "I am particitl'rly pleased that the House bill is on track to provide full
funding in the amount requested by the City of Stillwater and the Army Corps of Engineers. Last years floods
clearly pointed out the need for the levee to be rebuilt sooner rather than later," said Luther.
The Senate Appropriations Committee rece -ntly approved legislation providing $1.5 million for the levee. The
next steps are for the House and Sedate to complete consideration of their respective bills, and then a conference
committee will be convened to negotiate the differences between the two bills. Funding for the Stillwater levee will
be one of the items to be negotiated.

DICK BRAUN TO LEAD PROCESS TO RESOLVE
ST. CROIX RIVER CROSSING IMPASSE
(St. Paul, Minnesota) — Preliminary agreement was reached today on a process for
eventual resolution of the St. Croix River Crossing impasse and former Commissioner of
Transportation Dick Braun was retained to guide the process to develop a consensus
bridge proposal.
Attendees to the meeting included Minnesota Sixth District Congressman Bill
Luther; MNDOT Commissioner Jim Denn; WisDOT Secretary Chuck Thompson; Mark
Aumann from Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind's office; Stillwater Mayor Jay Kimble;
Oak Park Heights Mayor David Schaaf, David Given and Tony Andersen of the National
Park Service; Bob McFarlin, Dick Stehr, Adam Josephson, Darryl Durgin, and Bill
Schneider of MNDOT; Luther Chief of Staff Ted Thompson; Oak Park Heights City
Administrator Tom Melena; Curt Johnson and Nacho Dias of the Metropolitan Council;
Peter Fausch of SRF Engineering; Marty Beekman and Terry Pederson of the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation; Phil Miller of the Federal Highway Adminstration; and
Dick Braun, Special Consultant.
Participants agreed in principle on the outline for a formal process to develop a
consensus proposal that meets the transportation needs of the area and that complies with
the requirements of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. In addition, all parties agreed to
participate fully in discussions without risk of their comments being used in current or
future litigation. This allows for the fr ee flow of ideas and information among the key
parties, namely, MNDOT and the National Park Service (NPS).
Former Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation Dick Braun will provide
services over the next several months as he undertakes a thorough review of all issues
pertaining to the St. Croix River Crossing. Mr. Braun has been given broad discretion to
pursue possible solutions to the impasse. At the end of the process, Mr. Braun intends to
present a proposal. MNDOT would then use this proposal in preparing a supplemental
final environmental impact statement (EIS).

Minnesota Sixth District Congressman Bill Luther who represents the Stillwater -
Oak Park Heights area commended the participants saying "the key to successful
resolution is open and frank dialogue. Having these parties agree to this process. with
Dick Braun coordinating the effort, will `jump start' efforts to resolve the situation. I want
to thank everyone involved - this has been a difficult issue for everyone and I truly believe
this is a giant step in the right direction."
Dick Braun has a broad transportation background including University of
Minnesota professor and director of transportation studies; Chairman of the Metropolitan
Airports Commission under Governor Carlson; and Commissioner of Transportation
during the Quie and Perpich Administrations. In addition, Braun served on the state

INVITATION: WATERSHED RESOURCE WORKSHOPS
The Brown's Creek Watershed District is the newest such district in Washington County. As the most recent
district, we have been engaged in learning how districts operate and what resources are available to us, while we
have also been identifying and attempting to deal with the problems that led to our establishment.
One of the many resources that we are mutually aware of are the staff capabilities of the Minnesota DNR. In the
process of meeting the' people and learning of their capabilities, we realized that a joint presentation and
'discussion would be beneficial to our Watershed District and our Citizens Advisory Committee. To capitalize
on the opportunity, we also felt the County of Washington, Townships, Cities, other Watershed Districts, and
Watershed Management Organizations within the County could benefit from these presentations as well.
We have developed an agenda (attached), scheduled a meeting facility with audio- visual capabilities; and are
sending out invitations to the prospective attendees - you and any persons that you feel would benefit. We
have secured the Washington'County Board Room for the evenings of June 22 and July 27, 1998 from 6:30 P.
until 8 :30 PM for two separate presentations. Each presentation will be 25 -30 minutes and will be followed by
a 5 -10 minutes of audience questions of the presenter.
With respect for our resources and your time, please confirm your attendance to the attention of Mark Doneux at
the Washington Soil and Water Conservation District (telephone 430 - 6826). If you are unable to attend,•please
pass this invitation to someone else who would be interested in attending.

SUBJECT: ST. CROIX RIVER VALLEY BRIDGS CROSSING
Dear Mr. Russell:
Mn/DOT has retained Mr. Richard P. Braun, P.E., a former Mn/DOT Commissioner, to facilitate
a mediation process to resolve the current impasse with the construction of a new St. Croix
Valley bridge.
Mr. Braun will retain several national experts to assist him in this process and he has also asked
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to assist him in his effort. Our role would be to provide technical
assistance to Mr. Braun as a part of this process. In this capacity, SRF will not have a
decision - making role.
We have disclosed our relationship with the City of Stillwater to Mn/DOT and they feel that our
current work will be an asset to the process, not a "conflict of interest." SRF also believes that
work currently under contract with the City of Stillwater, namely the Aiple and Kolliner Park
Master Plans, does not present a conflict of interest. We ask that the City contact us directly at
any time during the park master planning process if it is felt that conflict of interest does exist. If
we believe a conflict of interest develops in the future, we will notify both the City and Mn/DOT
immediately.
Sincerely,
SRF CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

Metropolitan Council Reports Continued Heavy Use of Region's Parks and Trails
More than 17 million visits in 1997
St. PAUL- -June 12, 1998 -- Visits to regional parks in the Twin Cities metro area topped
17 million in 1997, an average of seven visits for each person in the metro area.
Metropolitan Council planners say park use has increased every year since the
regional system was created in 1974. 1997 was no exception, showing a 9.3 percent
increase in the number of visits over 1996. According to the Council report, Annual Use
of the Metropolitan Regional Park System in 1997, the steady increase in park use is due
to the addition of new parks and trails to the system and the region's growing population.
"Regional parks are a wonderful contribution to the region's livability and quality
of life - -and the region, in turn, has remained committed to providing those open spaces,"
said Council Chair Curt Johnson. "As part of the Council's regional growth plan, we
encourage communities throughout the Twin Cities area to make development choices,
including more compact development, that encourage the preservation of land for parks
and trails that everyone can enjoy."
Parks and trails in Minneapolis and St. Paul continue to be the most heavily
visited, accounting for more than 60 percent of all park visits. The 15 most- visited parks
and trails in the metro area include the following, and together, receive nearly 73 percent
of all visits to the entire regional park system.
