Marguerite Rheinberger 818 West Olive Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 . February 6, 1998 Dear Stillwater City Council, On Tuesday July 15, 1997, my brother John and I came before you to request that you appoint us, as well as four others (Charlie Hooley, Sharon Mailman, Bob Utecht, and Gene "Taco. Bealka), to head up the 150th (sesquicentennial) celebration of the Minnesota Territorial Convention. The date of the celebration is Wednesday, August 26, 1998. At that point we requested $5,000 from the city toward that celebration. Since that time, John and I were able to do some things toward the celebration, e.g., get a special pictorial postmark, book Pioneer and Lowell Parks for two days of events if desired (Wednesday and Saturday), and send out 100 letters to area businesses. According to Diane Deblon, Finance Director, we have gotten back $2700 in donations as of January 26, 1998. In late Fall I received a large unexpected federal grant, which requires traveling every month, In addition to my full-time work. Realizing that I could no longer give the necessary energy needed for this tribute to Stillwater, and noticing the limited Input of ideas and follow-through on these ideas I had had from the other appointed members, I realized that the leadership of the event needed to be turned over to a group that not only had the time, but had the desire and talent within the group to give Stillwater the celebration it deserves. In early January, I met with Taco Bealka who suggested the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce take over the leadership of the event. Charlie Hooley was in Florida at that time, and Sharon Mailman .could not be reached. However, John, Bob, and I agreed with this choice because we felt the organization had put on successful events of this magnitude In the past. We also felt that they not only knew how to generate Ideas, they had the expertise to implement them. Because of our limited manpower and time, we never were able to get the input of other groups such as the Washington County Historical Society, a group we certainly had planned to contact had we continued. The City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce will work with this group as well as other groups and individuals. Bob, John, and I attended the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, January 28, 1998, to see if they might be interested in taking over the leadership of this event. They were very honored to be asked and a motion to accept the leadership passed unanimously. Bob Utecht, Taco Bealka and I have openly expressed our willingness to this organization to continue to be involved to some degree. For example, . \ Bob and I will continue our original plans to produce a series of videos featuring footage of historic Stillwater and Interviews with historians and former and current Stillwater residents who took part in the 1948 centennial celebration. I will also be promoting Stillwater's special . postmark as the day draws closer. Since you originally appointed us in charge, I am requesting that you transfer the leadership of this celebration to the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce. I am also asking that the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce be able to use all funds donated to the City of Stillwater toward this event. I also request that the City of Stillwater fund this celebration with $5,000, as we had requested last summer. Please call me at 992-3807, or Sunny DeYoung at the City of SUllwater Chamber of Commerce at 439-4001 if you have any questions. Thank you very much.

The Stillwater Armorv Proiect: - - Full State funding for the Armory Project was a long shot at best This IS a program In . which the Federal Government has always picked up 75% of the costs For the State to set a precedent In this area of funding would commit them to the funding a number of other armory projects that have been requested The Governor turned down the request from the Department of MIlitary Affairs to Include the armory In hiS budget While the Department would not oppose the armory now, as an agency of the Governor, they can not actively support It It would have been a difficult task to get It through the Legislature, even In the Governofs budget Without that support, It would be a waste of time when we have other pnontles In this Legislative Session Our best opportUnity IS now With Congress as a demonstration program I'll be following up on that approach after we get through the craziness at the State Legislature.

Memorandum North Prison Pond Outlet Middle St. Croix River Watershed Management Organization Date: 23 Jan 98 . Background: In 1907 the MInnesota State Prison (MCF) constructed a reservoir and dam along the present day alignment of County Road 21. That system also includes a outlet pipe that supplies the prison with water. In the last 20 to 30 years this source of water has been used to cool boilers. In recent history the MCF has eliminated the need for this source of water. The City of Bayport has been compensating the MCF to continue pumping water entering the Prison Pond during the winter months to eliminate a build up of ice in the downstream channel. Ice build up in the channel has during certain years impacted traffic on TH 95. In 1972 the City of Bayport experienced significant flooding along PelTO Creek downstream of the Prison Pond. An injunction was ordered against the City which restricts diversion of runoff into Perro Creek. In 1987 the MCF contacted the City of Bayport with concern that they may no longer be able to maintain and repair the old outlet system. Since then the MCF system bas failed which put the . City of Bayport in a real predicament. In 1993 the Middle St. Croix River Watershed Management Organization (MSCWMO) contracted with SEH to develop a smdy of the 1700 acres tributary to the Prison Pond and Perro Creek. In that study SEH confinned that atleast 9 areas along PelTO Creek will experience flooding during a 100 year event in the watershed under existing conditions. SEH made recommendations for improvements at the outlet which were constructed in 1995. The new outlet structure does provide some flexibility for discharge into Perro Creek. With this structure MDNR can simulate a drought on the pond to get emergent vegetation growth. The MDNR participated in this study through a Flood Hazard Mitigation Grant in the amount of . ,. In November of 1994 the City shutdown the old outlet (new outlet constructed in 1995) to eliminate the downstream Icing condition. However, the water in the Prison Pond continued to rise. Under emergency conditions the City and Washington County constructed a 3 to 4 foot high earthen embankment about 500 feet long to contain seepage and runoff that had been used by the MCF since 1907. Since then the City has been setting up temporary pumps WIthin the MCF and discharging mto the MCF's downstream stonn sewer. Tins effort has been taxing on the City staff and finances In 1996 the MSCWMO selected SEH to mvestigate construction of a North Prison Pond Outlet. The primary mtent for this study 18 to investigate the poSSibility of constructing an outlet to get . . . . water from the Prison Pond to the St. Croix River without the icing conditions along the way. This outlet may also provide additional discharge capactiy from the Prison Pond during extreme runoff events. One of the keys to getting the water to the river without icing conditions is to keep it underground. Since the MCF operates a storm sewer from the north side the prison to the river the SEH included this in their investigations. This alternative looked good from the stand point that the MCF typically would need the capactty during runoff events during the non-winter months. The MSCWMO just wanted the pipe capacity dumg the winter months. SEH is also under contract with Washington County to design modifictions to County Road 28 along the proposed outlet route in conjunction with the Stillwarer Bridge Crossing. SEH's initial focus centered on the MCF storm sewer. Invert elevations along with data from the County's highway project were used to develop profiles of the existing sewer alignment. A video inspection of the existing 24 inch clay stonn sewer provided a significant statement about its condition. Portions of segments 2, 3, 4A and 4B are cracked and leaking water and sediments into the pipe. Once we shared our infonnation about the pipes condition with MnDOT they programmed replacement of the pipe across the highway as soon as either m 95 or the Prison Pond outlet is COnstlUcted. Local representatives from the MCF indicated they could probably not assist in reconstruction of the stonn sewer even though they are interested in its condition and operation. SEH made an approximate evaluation of the capacity of the storm sewer for comparisoin with the discharge capacity that might be required for the prison grounds. The pipe capacity is inadequate by our approximate calculations. At this point the MSCWMO directed SEH to look at other alternatives. After various discussions with the MSCWMO three additional outlet alternatives were reviewed from a macro perspective. The perfered outlet alignment is provided on the attached Drawing A. The City of Bayport with assistance from SEll has developed a project budget for a detailed study, development of plans and specifications and consuuction of the outlet based on the perfered alignment. The estimated budget for the North Prison Pond Outlet project is $2,400,000. A brakedown of budget is provided on the following page.

THE CITY OF STILLWATER lEVEE FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT Report to the Minnesota State Legislature Eightieth Legislative Session . Request for State Matching Funds: The City of Stillwater requests $750,000 In State Bonding funds In 1998 to provide half of the non-Federal matching funds required for the completion of Stage II, and the third and final stage of the Stillwater levee and flood control project The total cost of Stage II completion, and Stage III IS $6 million. The City will provide the other half of the non-Federal matching funds ($750,000) funds to generate the 25%, or $1 5 million, reqUired by Federal statute The expenditure of the State funds for the project Will be contingent on Congressional approval of Phase III Federal funding The U S Congress has authonzed a total of $11 6 million In the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 for the project Stage III Provides Up to 100 Year Protection: Stage III consists of the construction of a flood wall to be located approximately 125 feet Inland from the newly reconstructed levee wall which protects the fragile river bank from deterioration The nse In the elevation from the nver to the flood wall and the flood wall construction which extends 2 1/2 above the ground level Will provide a fifty year flood protection for the City The flood wall provides a 100 year protection with additional sandbagging. Dunng recent floods In 1997 and 1993, and earlier floods, sandbagging was Ineffective due to seepage through the porous SOIl. The flood wall Will extend 15-20 feet below the surface to prevent such seepage dUring future flood events The flood wall Will prevent the seepage through the porous SOil, the remnants of the logging industry and lumber mills that dotted the nverfront more than a century ago The ai-wall- Will also permit the effective use of sandbagging to provide 100-year flood protection for the State's first City, which Includes 63 structures that are listed on the National Register of Hlstonc Sites . Stage II Designed to Eliminate Annual Flooding: Stage II of the project extends the eXisting levee wall system on the St CroIx River approximately 1,000 feet north of the eXisting levee wall It Includes raising the height of the riverfront and the emergency service road that runs parallel to the levee wall system by about SIX feet, and the construction of a two-tier levee wall system Similar to the eXisting levee walls that were constructed by the WPA In 1937 ThiS IS thiS area where flooding first occurs In a flood event Work was begun on Stage II In 1997, and was originally scheduled for completion In the Fall of 1997 The flooding and the construction slow down due to extended high water In the Summer of 1997, has delayed the completion of Stage II Without the levee extension, flood waters flow both west Into the City'S bUSiness distriCt, and south to the area protected by the eXisting flood wall In both the 1993 and 1997 floods, the high water levels extended some 400 feet over railroad tracks, roadways, covered parking areas, and flooded the basements of the hlstonc buildings closest to the nver Page 2. Stage I Construction Completed: The State Legislature provided $400,000 In . matching funds for Stage I of the proJect, nearly all of which was completed In 1996 Stage I Included the reconstruction of the two-tier levee which protects the nver frontage Stillwater has been flooded five times In the past 30 years including the disaStrous floods of 1965 and 1969 Adequate preparation time, and anticipation by the City offiCials has protected the hlstonc downtown area In the two floods of the '90's Sandbagging accomplished little as the flood waters of the sixties flooded the basements and lower levels of bUSinesses along main street, threatening the basic structure of hlstonc bUildings that have stood for well over a hundred years Prompt action on this request for $750,000 is Vital for the preservation of this histonc area, and It'S Importance to the entire State Funding History: The Levee/Flood Control Project was authonzed by the U.S. Congress In the Water Resources Development Act of 1992, and reauthorized In the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 at a total cost of $11 6 million. In accordance with the Legislation, the Federal Government prOVides 75% of the costs The Minnesota State Legislature has prOVided one half of the non-Federal matching funds required through the Flood Mitigation Grants program administered by the Water DIVISion of the DNR. The City of Stillwater has prOVided the other half of the non- Federal matching funds needed State of Minnet:lOta Funding Stage 1- 1992 Bonding Bill $200,000 Stage I - 1994 Bonding Bill $200,000 Stage 11- 1996 Bonding Bill $375,000 Cit~ of Stillwater Fundlnp Stage 1- Local Contnbutlon $200,000 Stage 1- Local Contnbutlon $200,000 Stage 11- Local Contnbutlon $375,000 . federal Funding The Federal Government has appropnated about $4 million from FY 1994 to the present The City Will be requesting an additional $4 5 million funding In the FY 1999 and FY 2000 bUdgets . . .

February 4, 1998 Mayor Jay Knnble 216 N 4th St Stlllwater, MN 55082 Re: Precautions Advised for Reissuance of NPDES Permit Dear Mayor Kimble' I am wntIng you as the PresIdent of the Minnesota Environmental SCIence and EconomIC Review Board (MESERB) and as the Public Works Director for the CIty of Manka to because you discharge either directly or indIrectly mto the Mmnesota or MississIppi Rivers The City of Mankato recently underwent NPDES permit reissuance from the MInnesota PollutIon Control Agency (MPCA), and you need to be aware of the lIllplications of this reissuance m the event sImilar issues develop in your own SItuation. As some of you may know, MESERB is a 15-city Joint powers board interested in improVIng enVIronmental protections with scientific and . economic informatIon. JntroductioD, Before discussing the speCIfic outcomes of the Mankato permit case, It should be noted at the outset that the city of Mankato has always conSIdered phosphorus reduction on the Mmnesota River to be a prionty As a result, the CIty voluntarily took sigmficant steps With ItS existing facihty to make phosphorus reductions a realIty These efforts will contmue with the new facihty upgrade deSIgned by the CIty; whIch deSIgn did not change as a result of the dIspute discussed below The Issue IS the proper allocation of pollutant loadings for the protection of water qUalIty and the apphcatIOn of those loadmgs to all dIschargers whether from pomt or non-point sources The approach needed IS a basin-Wide one WhICh includes proper monitoring, waste load allocation studIes, and detaIled SCIentIfic analYSIS Based on scientIfic eVIdence, the tWIn CInes metropohtan area, industrial dIschargers and the agncultural communIty must all share m the effort to reduce phosphorus in the Minnesota River Only by conductmg such analysis and estabhshing a partnershIp approach Will appropnate discharge hmIts be determmed and apphed Yet as the example dIscussed below shows, thIS does not seem to be the approach wlnch some environmental groups are taking . . February 4, 1998 Page Two NPDES Permit Reiss~a~ce Positions Based on the Mankato expenence, MESERB believes CItIes should take the following positions With respect to the reissuance of their own NPDES penmts . Summary: . Cities should oppose attempts to use the Mankato permit as a basis for establishing a phosphorus limit in other NPDES permits. Some environmental groups may inappropriately attempt to use the Mankato pemnt to try to establish a precedent and thereby CIrcumvent the MPCA's rulemaking process. CitIes should recognize such tactics and understand that the Mankato permit phosphorus limit was established arbitrarily through pohtIcal negotIations, and is not based on any waste load allocation or scientific analYSIS . Cities should not accept any phosphorous limit unless the proposed limit is scientifically justified and required by MPCA rules. Proposed pemnt Ilmlts not required by Minnesota law or mles nor supported by a basin-Wide wasteload allocation study and developed through the MPCA' s rulemalang process should be rejected. Cities should always try to bwld treatment plants that exceed the pemnt limits m law as Mankato did, but they should not agree to arbItrary pemnt limIts. The focus should be on protecting the quality of our water resources .

C. 01. ~........... , A weelcJy legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities Vol. 3, No 5 February 13, 1998 Levy limits repeal bill heard On Wednesday, Sen. Doug Johnson's (DFl-Tower) biD that would repeal levy limits for c1bes and counties was heard in the Senate Properly Ta)(/TIF SubcommIttee. Although testimony was not taken, Sen. Larry PogemiHer (DFL-Mlnneapolls) moved that the bill be COf1Sidered for inclusion In the Senate omnibus tax bill. Immediately atterwaRI, Johnson suggested that staff call 9-1.1 because several local govemment lobbyists were about to have heart attacks As you may recall. John50n supported the levy limits provisions in the 1997 omnibus tax bill Support for a repeal seems to be gl'OWlng in the Senate However. the House has yet to hear the bill and our sense Is that support In the House is lukewarm, at best.

Kennedy) to generally authorize counties to establish economic development authorities (EDAs) Any project located within the corporate limits of a city woutd l'8qUire the approval of that city. The original version of the bill V'IOuld have applied only to Klttson County HlStoncally, the league has supported the state's current policy of limiting the specific authority and powers of EOAs to City govem- ments because of the potential for o\ft9r1ap. The Department of Trade and EconomiC Development has advocated this authonty because It Will allow a pooling of resources where they may be Insufficient to allow Individual cities to establish their own EOAs.
