STAFF REPORTS
City Coordinator Kriesel updated Council on the 1999 Proposed Budget. He stated he had previously
advised Council they had two options regarding the 1999 Budget: 1) Adopt the proposed budget of
$6,477,801 and the tax levy of$4,237,385; or 2) table action until a future meeting, but before Sept.
15th. He added a third option to adopt a proposed budget that would be equal to the revenues shown on
the worksheet entitled" 1999 Requested Operating Budget". The revenues on the worksheet of
$6,390,457 plus the General Fund Capital Outlay of $454,385, would make the proposed budget
$6,814,842. He recommended Council adopt a proposed budget of$6,814,842 and tax levy of
$4,237,385 and direct staff to pare expenditures to that level prior to adoption of the budget in
December. He further recommended setting the dates for the Truth in Taxation public hearing for
December 1, 1998, and a continuation on December 8th, if needed. (These recommendations were
approved on the consent agenda later in this meeting.)
Finance Director Deblon provided information on the impact of the budget on the tax levy.
Police Chief Dauffenbach reported that as a result of an upgrade to the Washington County radio
system, the base radio in the Stillwater Police Department is outdated and cannot communicate with
Washington County's new system. This means that neither dispatch nor the police officer can hear or
talk with the Washington County Shenffs Office except by portable radio. This is a safety issue and a
necessary communication function. No money has been allocated in this year's budget for a new base
radio. The cost would be $5657.25.
Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to adopt Resolution 98-237 approving
the purchase of a base radio for Police Department for an approximate cost of $5,660. All in favor.
Chief Dauffenbach also reported Chris Felsch had resigned as juvenile officer. He recommended the
promotion of Carla Cincotta to juvenile officer, effective today.

PETITIONS. INDIVIDUALS. DELEGATIONS & COMMENDATIONS
I. Petition from property owners to maintain McKusick Lake at the present level.
Chuck Fredrickson, 1602 McKusick Lane, presented a petition from several property owners
surrounding Lake McKusick to request the City of Stillwater and the State of Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources to establish a permitted designated water level of Lake McKusick at its current level
of853.5 feet above sea level indefinitely. He stated that at the June 2nd Council workshop, he and a
group of McKusick Lake residents had presented a Vision Statement regarding the quality of McKusick
Lake. Of their concerns, the water level was paramount. Lowering the lake level would destroy the lake.
At that meeting, the residents were informed the Department of Natural Resources controls the lake .
level. The City recommended as a first step the residents get unanimous approval of shoreline owners.

'.
City Council Meeting 98-21 September 1, 1998
Gayle Siegler, 1410 Meadowlark, stated the water level is dramatically lower. They have gained two
feet of shoreline.
.
Mark Hoffman, 270 Wildwood Court, stated the water level has dropped two feet. The success of
Stillwater is because it is scenic. He used to be able to see the water when he walked his dog around the
ballpark; now he is able to see it in only a few places.
Katie Jablonski, 757 Green Twig Way, reported the spillway used to flow. Now it is 15 to 20 feet of
cattails.
The consensus of the residents appearing was that the level is going down and the bottom is rising.
Bob Brothen, 1636 Meadowlark Dr., reported there used to be trappers and duck hunters in the area
when it was higher.
Dan Fleming, 921 Lecuyer Drive; stated no water was visible until the brush was cleared at his
property .
Neil Smith, 820 Towne Circle, stated this is the only property available to all residents. Time was of the
essence in protecting this resource.
.
City Engineer Eckles reported staff would need to further study the issue before approaching the DNR.
There would be potential cost impacts to maintaining the lake at higher levels than intended. The
ultimate system to protect the entire lake region was not yet in place. Mr. Eckles stated a study on flood
impacts and costs must be completed and the ADAR reanalyzed.
City Attorney Magnuson stated the DNR position is a legal position that the artificial raising is an illegal
taking of property.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka accepting the petition to the City of
Stillwater and MN Dept. of Natural Resources requesting the water level of Lake McKusick be maintained at its
current level of 853.5 feet, and directing staff to develop an action plan and dialogue with state agencies. All in
favor.
The meeting was recessed at 7:55 p.m. and reconvened at 8:03 p.m.

June 16, 1998
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka setting budget meetings with
Department Heads for August 11th (4:30-9 p.m.), 12th (5-9 p.m.), and 18th (4:30-6 p.m.). All in favor.
Captain Dauffenbach reported the event calendar submitted by the City of Stillwater Chamber of
Commerce for Music on the Waterfront meets all requirements for security. They are also
requesting one police officer for each concert. (action taken at end of meeting: contribution of
$350 to City Chamber of Commerce to hire off-duty police officer)
~
" '
Community Development Director Russell presented a letter from SRF Consulting Group, Inc,
informing Council they have been retained by Richard Braun, facilitator in the mediation process
to resolve the impasse with the construction of the proposed interstate bridge, for technical
assistance as part of the mediation process. They would have no decision-making role. SRF
informed Mn/DOT they are under contract with the City for the preparation of the Aiple/Kolliner
Park Master Plans. Mn/DOT did not consider a conflict of interest to exist. City Attorney
Magnuson stated he concurred that there does not appear to be a conflict of interest. (No action
necessary)
City Engineer Eckles reported NSP is currently offering a program to update the City's 12 traffic
signals to use state-of-the-art luminaries. The cost savings of using luminaries would be $7200
per year. The cost for conversion is $36,135. The NSP Loan Agreement provides that the dollars
saved each year can be used to offset the total cost of the LED system. The payback period would
be five years. After the payback period, the City will see a real savings in expenditures of $7200
per year.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to adopt Resolution 98-155
approving the loan agreement with NSP for conversion of twelve traffic signals to LED systems.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None
Fire Chief Kallestad recommended the promotion of Christopher Zeuli to full-time firefighter.
(consent agenda)
Building Inspector Zepper requested the purchase of file cabinets and authorization for the
Building Official and Building Inspector to attend the ICBO Annual Business Meeting in San
Diego, CA. (consent agenda)
City Attorney Magnuson reported he has received a copy of the confidentiality agreement
regarding settlement discussions related to the proposed new bridge crossing over the St. Croix
River. The City, along with the United States, through the United States Department of Justice,
the State of Wisconsin, the State of Minnesota, the City of Oak Park Heights, and the Metropolitan
Council have been asked to sign the agreement. The request for the agreement has been made
because the parties to the agreement are parties to a lawsuit filed in the United States District
Court for the District of Minnesota, captioned Sierra Club North Star Chat'ter et al. v. Pena. et al.
Civil No. 4-96-547, concerning a proposed new bridge crossing over the S1. Croix River. The
agreement would allow the free flow of discussion without the fear the information discussed
could be used by one side or the other for litigation purposes.

Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to adopt Resolution 98 -162
directing the City Attorney to take necessary steps to acquire the "Amundson" property, located east of
Amundson Drive and west of Stonebridge School. All in favor. .
City Coordinator Kriesel also reported Elayne Aiple is offering the floating vessel Cayuga to the
City. Council determined more information such as possible use, cost of renovation, and cost of
upkeep was needed. Council directed staff to thank Mrs. Aiple for the offer and inform her a
decision will be made as soon as staff returns with more information.
Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Cummings directing staff to thank
Elayne Aiple for the offer of the floating vessel Cayuga to the City and report back on the possible use
and cost of maintenance of the vessel. All in favor.
City Coordinator Kriesel asked Council to authorize the contribution of $350 to the City Chamber
of Commerce to offset the cost of hiring an off-duty police officer for Music on the Waterfront.
This would be more cost-efficient than the City providing a police officer. This was discussed
earlier in the meeting, but action was not taken at that time.
Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to authorize the contribution
of $350 to the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce for an off-duty police officer for Music on the

Dear Business Owner/Manager
The Stillwater Police Department has recently received a grant from tlte Washington COWtty Department of
Health, Environment and Land Management to conduct alcohol sales compliance checks. The sale of
alcohol to Wlderage purchasers is a concem of the citizens of Stillwater and the Stillwater Police
Department.
The Stillwater Police Department will begin to use compliance checks to enforce liquor sales laws in
Stillwater, Minnesota. We believe that helping you to avoid law violations, such as selling alcoholic
beverages to wtderage people, will help us to avoid problems that come with wtderage drinking. It is less
expensive and easier to prevent youth access to alcoholic beverages than to investigate the motor vehicle
crashes, fights, and other crime that WlOOrage drinking promotes. Nearly half of injury motor vehicle
crashes involve drivers who had been drinking alcohol. Communities that have reduced tlte availability of
alcohol to wtderage drinkers have experienced fewer crashes and fewer crimes.
.
We believe Stillwater businesses, which sell alcoholic beverages, do so in a responsible manner. I ant
asking you to review with your employees. state laws and Stilhvater ordinances governing the sale of
alcoholic beverages. Whenever in doubt about a purchaser's age, the sellcr should ask for proper
idcntification; a Minnesota picture driver's license or a Minnesota picture identification card are idcal.
Please remind your employee's that they and the license holder arc liable for criminal, civil, and
administrative penalties for improper sales.
Underage young adults will come into your business during the next few months to try to buy alcoholic
beverages. Police officers will be working with these youths. Staff caught selling alcohol to Wldcrage
buyers will be rcferred to the City Attorney for criminal prosecution.
We want your staff to refuse alcohol sales to our underage buyers. We can offer the following tools to help
ensure that your staff knows the law:
· Copies of the valid 10 book (photo examples of proper Ids) can be obtained from the Minnesota
Municipal Beverage Association at 1-800-848-4912 or the Minnesota Licensed Beveragc Association
at (612) 486-0910.
· At your request, we can send a Police Officer to your establishmcnt to give an informational talk on
alcohol sales laws.
· Recommend model policies for busincsses sclling or scrving alcohol can be obtained from thc
University of Mimtesota 's Alcohol Epidemiology homepage, on the World Wide Web at:
IInn:/ /"'\W.CIJi. ullIll.cdulalcohol
· Contact your insurance company of alcohol distributor; they may provide training guides, signs, or
information on training programs availablc in your area.

being a friendly and pro-active police department Selling alcohol is a privilege tJmtlms very specific
responsibilities attached to it. We only ask that you fulfill tJlOse responsibilities. 11lis is our request for

Donations Received
F. YI.
Stillwater American Legion Post #48 recently donated $3,600, and Stillwater Elk's
Lodge #179 recently donated $5,000. This $8,600 will be used for the purchase of three
sets of SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) and a radio
communications set.
The underwater radio system is compatible with the air masks and will allow our divers
verbal communications diver-to-diver and diver-to-surface for the first time. Diver safety
will be greatly enhanced with all of this new equipment. This is especially important
when diving in water with limited or no visibility, such as the St. Croix River.
The Legion and Elk's previously donated money for rescue boats and other equipment.
This will be the first time donations or City money have been used to purchase actual
scuba gear. All scuba equipment to date has been purchased and supplied by individual
divers in the fire department.
We sincerely thank the Legion and Elk's. I will send thank you letters to both groups.
When the equipment has arrived and been assembled, the fire department will invite
members of the Legion, Elk's, and Council to see it all.

MEMORANDUM

V
FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~
DATE: September 17,1998
SUBJECT: Access Easement to Meadow Lark Park
Pursuant to an agreement between Tim and Sig Cowen and the City, the City has obtained a
twenty-five (25) foot wide access easement from Interlachen Drive to the new facilities in
Meadow Lark Park.
The agreement required that the City, as consideration for the transfer, pay to Trailhead
Development the cost of providing utilities to other property owned by Cowens, not to exceed
the sum of thirteen thousand and no/100 dollars ($13,000.00). Since our audit of the Trailhead
costs reveal an average cost per lot of sixteen thousand one hundred fifty-three and 78/1 00
dollars ($16,153.78) per lot, we are satisfied that we owe the maximum payment of thirteen
thousand and no/lOO dollars ($13,000.00) to Trailhead.
Our access easement will now be recorded with Washington County and we request that the sum
of thirteen thousand and no/lOO dollars ($13,000.00) payable to Trailhead Development
Company be added to the bills for payment.

Re: POLICE PISTOL RANGE IN BASEMENT.

.........-.-........
The police pistol range in the basement has been closed since the building
remodel. The range has been used over the last 25 years with a metal plate reflector
and sand for catching the lead bullets. These types of ranges have been shut down
f;YPQJ!ution control as the lead dust created by them are dangerous. I have recently
had.ihe.:range checked by Bay West, a hazardous material handling company. The
*#.~4~~..~(the tests show that the range is in excess of the HOD requirements for lead
J~y..e.~~~:f:9j safety reasons I have placed this area off limits to all employees until the
f:?~~s can be cleaned up.
..... .......................
:::::Ilj~y~ received three estimates to have the range cleaned up. The most expensive
was::$16,500. The cheapest came in from Tom Crotty, owner of Thomas Cleaning
q9~::He would be working in conjunction with Bay West. The estimate is $7998.
There is no money in the budget for this item but it does need to be done. After
talking with Nile is was determined that the money could be on the 1998 capitol
outlay.

is as expensive to repair as purchasing a new one.
Four gases are measured by the monitor: Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen
Sulfide, and explosive levels of vapors. This tool is necessary for confined space
entry, overhaul of structure fires, and many hazardous materials calls including
natural gas, propane gas, and carbon monoxide.

Dear Mr. Mayor and Council:
The residents of the 1300 block of South First Street (between Marsh and
Orleans) are planning a neighborhood gathering on Sunday, September 27
from 4:00~7:00 p.m. to celebrate our much-loved, new streets and sidewalks.
Our hope is)hat the street could be closed to through traffic during these
hours to ensUre the safety of the children in our neighborhood.
. .
AIl residentS have been notified of the date and time of the block party via a
flyer and th~ feedback has been very positive. If the decision favors closure
of the street should we devise our own roadblocks or use city signage? .
Since I am.one of the organizers of this event, feel free to c~ me at 439-
6211 with any questions. Thanks for your attention to this matter. We look
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Kristy B jerk

FR: City Coordinator
RE: Soccer facility use agreement
DA: September 18, 1998
Discussion:
Attached is an agreement between the City of Stillwater and Alan Merrick's Soccer
Academies, Inc. ("Merrick") for use of the fieldhouse. The agreement provides for the
rental of the fieldhouse during the weekend and also provides for reimbursement to
Merrick for administering, scheduling, etc., the programs that will be provided by
Merrick. The agreement appears to be the best the City could do for the first two years of
use of the facilities - especially given the fact that Merrick is very experienced in
organizing and operating soccer programs.
The only other practical option was to have the management company develop and
administer the programs. However, this would have required the development of a
marketing strategy, advertising, scheduling, and administering soccer leagues which
would then require hiring of additional personnel, etc., in a relatively short time frame
and with the consequence that the "net revenues" might not be as favorable as this
agreement will bring. In other words this appears to be the best option available at this
time.
.
For your information, Merrick also provides the same type of programs at the Woodbury
facilities. Further, I have talked to representatives of the St. Croix Valley Soccer
Association and they appear to be comfortable with this arrangement (Note: the Soccer
Association plans to purchase fieldhouse time and operate programs during the weekdays
and Merrick has assured staff that he will cooperate with the Association to ensure that
the Association will have adequate time for their programs - including weekend use).
Recommendation:
Council adopt resolution approving agreement between the City of Stillwater and Alan
Merrick's Soccer Academies, Inc.

RE: City of Stillwater Consideration of New Braun Bridge Alternatives
On September 9th, 1998, Mr. Dick Braun, unveiled three new bridge alignment alternatives (see
attached map showing alignments A, B, and C).
The new alignments are the result of three months of meetings and studies by Mr. Braun and
associated experts. Mr. Braun is the ex-commissioner of Transportation for MnDOT and the
bridge experts provide more depth to Mr. Braun's experience and expertise in the areas of bridge
design, functional and aesthetic and land use planning. Mr. Braun has personally met with the 21
agencies involved with the bridge decision and used the results of these meetings to craft the
three alternatives. On September 29, 1998, Mr. Braun will be making his final recommendation
to the interagency task force. This will end his contact with the Joint Agency Committee.
Alternatives A and B, as shown on the attached map, are located close to Downtown Stillwater.
Both alternatives require a two-level bridge/highway structure running along the bluff to cany
Hwy 95 and 36 traffic from Sunnyside to downtown. This structure would be similar to freeway
interchange structures seen in downtown Minneapolis. The top level of the structure would be
just below the North Hill residential bluff area (about the height of the telephone lines that run
along TH 95). An assumption of the study was to not physically impact the bluff (excavation) but
the noise and exhaust of an elevated two-level road would certainly impact the residents,
vegetation and views from the neighborhood and river. Close your eyes and the picture is clear.
These alternatives would require a major area of the Aiple Property for construction of the
roadway and bridge and one alternative would run through Kol1iner Park. Alternatives A and B
would significantly impact the downtown, the North Hill residential area and the Aiple/Kolliner
Parks. The noise and air pollution and chemical.spray from snow plowing will destroy the
vegetation along the bluff that currently screens Hwy 95.
The third alternative, Alternative C, takes off from the Aiple Property just north of the existing
Cayuga boat location. Approximately one-third of Aiple Park would be directly impacted by the
bridge. The bridge design details of interchanges and hydraulics (run offwater management) has
yet to be considered. For the MnDOT proposed bridge, major ponding were required to catch
water and clean it before running it into the St. Croix. Ponding would be required for this
alternative as well.
~
In discussions with Mr. Braun and his panel of experts, a C-2 alternative could be designed that .
locates the bridge between the north boarder of Aiple Park Plan Property and the Sunnyside
Marina. This alternative would reduce the impact on the bluffline and require less roadway
improvements. Mr. Braun at the September 9th and 12th Workshop indicated he would consider
such an alternative with the engineer.
Attached to this report is the information presented at the September 9th, 1998 meeting. It is
interesting to note from the information indicates that Wisconsin will continue to grow with or
without the bridge. A new bridge will have little impact on growth. The information also
indicates a two or three lane bridge will accommodate current traffic. demand but not near future
projected demand.
In all scenarios, the current lift bridge is assumed to remain for its useful life and not be directly
effected by a new bridge.
Recommendation: Urge the Council to develop and support a new alternative C-2 bridge
alignment locating the bridge between the north end of Aiple Property and original MnDot
Alternative.

TO: Steve Russell
Community Development Director
FROM: Klayton H. Eckles }L~T
City Engineer
SUBJECT: Review of the Proposed Braun Bridge Alternates A, B, C
I have reviewed the conceptual locations of proposed bridge alternatives. Given the total lack of
design information of the proposed layouts, it is impossible to make any kind of judgement or analysis as to
what impact each would have on the City of Stillwater. The following is a list ()f some of the information
needed in order to review for impacts to Stillwater. .
.
5.
1.
Plan and profile designs of the bridge, bridge approaches, and interchanges. This
information would demonstrate how much physical space is required to construct this facility
in Stillwater. Also the amount of neighborhood impact and displacement could be
determined.
An analysis of noise and air pollution impacts. Given that the proposals are a four-lane
facility with interchanges in close proximity to existing neighborhoods and businesses there
will likely be significant impact in these areas.
A storm water management plan and water quality plan. All of these projects will include
many miles of new highway lanes constructed within the City of Stillwater that will create
additional imperious surface leading to water quality and water management problems. The
design and impact of new stonn water facilities as well as the impact on the City of
Stillwater's existing facilities are important issues.
Traffic management plans. Given the extremely sensitive location of the proposed bridge
layouts, highway interchange design will be difficult or impossible. Therefore, traffic flow in
and out of downtown Stillwater could be circuitous or congested. This could lead to
economic impacts to Stillwater businesses as well as traffic volume issues in Stillwater
neighborhoods.
Analysis of environmental and aesthetic impacts on Stillwater. The proposed layouts A, B,
and C appear to have significant impacts to City parkland, green space, bluffland, and view
scapes which should be quantified.
2.
3.
4.
A typical process for a project of this nature would identify physical and environmental constraints
and issues associated with a project prior to choosing an option. It appears that the present discussions
would reverse this process. Attempting to pick an option of choice prior to having some of these vital
questions answered could move the bridge selection process in a contentious and unproductive direction. I
recommend that we request these issues be part of the selection process as well as review of other options
which might not have such a direct impact on this sensitive portion of Stillwater.

September 8, 1998
St. Croix River Crossing
SUMMARY OF CURRENT LAND USE PLANNING
· The two counties most affected by the St. Croix River Crossing,
Washington County (Minnesota) and St. Croix County (Wisconsin),
fall within the U. S. Census Bureau's definition of the Minneapolis
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Polk County, Wisconsin,
does not.
· Regional planning for the seven county Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area in Minnesota, which includes Washington County, is provided
by the Metropolitan Council. Regional planning for the affected
Wisconsin Counties is provided by the West Central Wisconsin
Regional Planning Commission.
· Both Washington County and St. Croix County have up-to-date
comprehensive plans. Polk County is presently completing a
comprehensive plan.
· All cities in Washington County have current comprehensive plans.
Two cities, one village and two townships in eastern St. Croix
County have current comprehensive plans. One city, two villages
and one township have old or no comprehensive plans.
September 8, 1998
St. Croix River Crossing .
. County plans apply in those townships and villages that do not
have plans unless these communities take action to "opt out" of
the comprehensive plans. This has not occurred in any local
communities in the study area.
. All cities and townships in Washington County (Minnesota) and St.
Croix County (Wisconsin) have general zoning ordinances in
place.
· Zoning and land use densities in Washington and St. Croix
Counties are consistent with one exception. Rural residential
(general rural) densities are typically four units per forty acres in .
Washington County while they are thirteen units per forty acres in
St. Croix County.
· While the eastern third of St. Croix County is planned for general
rural (rural residential), this land use is consistent with the soil
conditions in this area which have a low agricultural productivity
rating.
· Land use plans in all three counties concentrate growth near
existing urban centers with designated "transition" or urban
expansion areas. This is consistent with the underlying principle of
growth management in the Metropolitan Council's Regional .
Blueprint.
.
.
.
September 8, 1998
St. Croix River Crossing
· About 40 percent of working St. Croix County residents commute
into Minnesota. The majority of residents in Polk County work
within the county.
.
.
.
September 8, 1998
St. Croix River Crossing
SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
· Average Daily Traffic (AADT), adjusted for seasonal variations, on
the Stillwater Bridge during the July-August counts was 15,100
vehicles per day. The range of daily traffic counted was 14,400 to
19,300 vehicles per day.
· Trucks make up 2-4 percent of daily traffic on the bridge.
· .Over half (57 percent) of the trips on the existing bridge begin or
end (or both) in Stillwater, Houlton, Bayport or Oak Park Heights.
· The total daily river crossings between TH 8 (Taylors Falls) and
1-94 (Hudson) have been increasing by 3.6 percent per year since
1990, but the daily volumes on the Stillwater Bridge have
remained essentially the same since 1990.
· The Stillwater Bridge currently carries 940 vehicles per lane, in the
peak direction, during the p.m. peak hour (4:30 -5:30 p.m.). The
typical capacity per lane for a two-lane urban roadway is 700
vehicles per lane. Volumes above that number indicate a heavily
congested roadway.
September 8. 1998
St. Croix River Crossing .
. There is an average 8.2 minute delay per vehicle in the peak
direction between the south junction of TH 36 and TH 95 and the
east side of the bridge in a typical mid-week peak hour. This delay
approximately-doubles the travel time on TH 95 between 1-94 and
the existing bridge, and results in a total traveler delay during the
peak hour of over 113 hours. Delays can be much longer and
vehicle queues can extend for miles during special events, which
are frequent during the summer.
. In addition to the above delay, the existing bridge is closed
intermittently for an average of 6.6 minutes every time the bridge is
raised. The bridge is closed twice during the peak hour and about
14 times each day. This represents 95 minutes per day when the
bridge is closed.
.
. Each time the bridge reopens, it takes an additional 8.9 minutes to
clear the peak direction queue. This represents an average delay
per peak direction vehicle of 4 minutes. This is equal to over 56
hours of peak direction vehicle delay during the peak hour alone.
. When ranked on a scale of A-F with A best and F worst, the Level
of Service at the intersection of Chestnut and Main during the p.m.
peak hour is ElF. There is 110 room for physical improvements to
this intersection.
.
.
.
.
September 8, 1998
St. Croix River
· There are very high pedestrian volumes at the intersection of
Chestnut and Main (400 in weekday peak; 1200 in weekend
peak).
· There is no space available on the existing bridge to manage
traffic if there is an accident or incident on the bridge. This means
that traffic is stopped until the accident can be cleared. This also
affects the ability of emergency vehicles to respond quickly to
these incidents.
· There were 279 accidents on the section of roadway between the
south junction of TH 36 and TH95 and the east side of the bridge
in the past three years. This represents one accident every four
days.
· The accident rate on this section of roadway, which includes the
existing bridge, is almost twice the average accident rate on
similar roadways in the metropolitan area.

September 17, 1998
RE:
New Bridge Alternative and Aiple/Kolliner Park Planning
The Aiple/Kolliner Park Planning Committee met last Thursday, September 10, 1998, to review
the preferred planning options for the Kolliner Park! Aiple Property Planning Area. The plans
were presented by John Larson and Dewey Thorbeck, the City's Park consultant.
Briefly, the plans reflect the interest ofthe community with a passive, open space park, park
design including an extensive pathway system for pedestrians and bikers, picnic areas, planted
areas, natural woodland and meadows, a fishing pier, a dock for the Cayuga, opportunities for
interpretation of the lumbering eras historic use ofthe site. Only parking for the park use is
provided. A St. Croix Valley Visitors Center for visitors to the valley by land or river was also
presented as an option.
The City of Stillwater has been waiting for the opportunity to add these city owned St. Croix
River Park and open space lands to its parks and open space system as a complement and link
between the community and downtown for 50 years. The Aiple Property would be a city park not
an extension of downtown but an aesthetic open space entry to downtown that greets the valley
visitor and community resident.
At the Thursday Kolliner Park! Aiple Property Planning Committee meeting, the bridge
alternative locations presented by Mr. Braun on the 10th were available from news articles. All
city committee/commission members in attendance were dismayed at the alternatives bridge
locations with there devastating impacts on the City of Stillwater and the Aiple and Kolliner Park
properties. Members from the City's Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Commission
and Park Board attended the briefing/workshop held by Congressman Luther on Saturday the
12th of September. All three City Committees and Commissions feel strongly that the new
alignments being considered for the bridge are not acceptable. Because of their significant
impacts on the community, residential North Hill neighborhood, the Downtown and the Kolliner
and Aiple properties (see letters from Chairpersons from the Planning Commission, Parks Board,
Historic Preservation and Downtown Parking Commission) they cannot support any of the Braun
alternatives.
The committees felt the original MnDOT alternative remains the best alternative and intrusts the
City Council to only accept a bridge alternative that does not erode the character, aesthetic and
enjoyment of Stillwater, the Birthplace of Minnesota, on the beautiful St. Croix River (maybe a
bridge alternative acceptable to the City of Stillwater is not possible at this time).
Recommendation: The position of the City's Planning Commission, Parks Board, Historic
Preservation Commission and Downtown Parking Committee be considered by the Council in
responding to the Braun Bridge Alternatives A, B and C and fmding a different bridge alternative
that minimizes impacts to the City and its residents and accommodates traffic needs.

Dear Mr. Braun:
I have been authorized to speak for the Stillwater Planning Commission re~ating to the St. Croix
River Crossing Alignment Alternatives.
Several years ago, we developed a new Stillwater Comprehensive Plan. The process included a great
deal of citizen input not unlike the input you are currently soliciting. As a result, there was a clear
mandate from the people to preserve the Historical Character of Stillwater. The preservation of open
space; scenic beauty and rural character were no less desirable goals.
The Planning Commission carefully examined the five alternatives that you have recently presented.
In the light of our mandate, Braun A (the central corridor) and Braun B, present a serious challenge.
The double decking required to carry traffic toward Stillwater to the crossing points would really be
a scenic blight. Crossing the river with a four-lane highway so close to Downtown Stillwater would
again seriously challenge our attempt to preserve the historic character of our City. Crossing the
Aiple Property at any point could make it difficult, if not impossible to complete our plans to make
it an attractive park. Braun A and the central corridor would destroy the scenic open space that
Stillwater has preserved in Kolliner Park. Theresulting water run off becomes more ofaproblem
the closer you get to downtown. Braun C, which seems to be a compromise and a pn~ferr~ec:hoice
of some, still crosses the Aiple Property at the southern end, perhaps the most attractive area for a
park.
The crossing that seems to make the most sense, from om: point of view, is the ori~al~~nOT
proposal. That is the official Planning Commission position. . Is there any way to makeSt~tmore
acceptable? Is there another alternative that could be more acceptable to all parties? .... .

FR: David G. Junker, Parks Chairperson

RE: Aiple Property
The Park Board is very supportive of the opportunities the Aiple Property to Stillwater in
the way of park land. With its 3,000 feet of riverfront and 26 acresofland, the activities are
endless as to what to do with the land. From passive and nonpassive trails connecting the
downtown to Sunnyside, to picnic and gathering spots, this land givestheCitya wealth of
possible designs.
The location of the bridge will have a major impact on the land and what could possibly be done
with it. The originallocati~n in the southern corridor is the only sensible solution to eliminate
the impact on the Aiple Property. If any other location is used, it would affect a great deal of
land, not only with the bridge itself, but also the holding ponds for water runoff and the .
interchanges needed to enter or exit the bridge. All of this could consume a great deal of the hmd
available for park space. Although the Park Board has not officially rendered a motion as
affect, our discussions have expressed these same thoughts. We cannot let the
great piece of land the City has. Please consider these thoughts with your

City of Stillwater Position Statement
Regarding New St. Croix River Crossing Location
The City of Stillwater does not approve of or support in any way Braun Alternatives A or B. The
impacts are devastating to the Downtown and the broader Stillwater Community. The City of
Stillwater does support the original, final EIS preferred Alternative located in the Southern Corridor.
Any other river crossing location alternative supported by the City of Stillwater must adequately
address the following areas of City concern:
a. The bridge and road design and placement shall minimize the impact (visual and
functional) on the use ofthe Aiple Property Park. In no case shall the new bridge or road
result in the cutting into or disruption of the existing bluffline or shoreline.
b. Traffic noise resulting from the roadway and bridge improvements shall be mitigated and
reduced to the maximum extent economically feasible (this may take the form of special
noise attenuation road and bridge design or reduced highway speeds).
c. Stormwater management ponding areas shall be located south of the new bridge and not
on the Aiple Property Park (this may require pumping of stormwater to EIS preferred
~*
Alternative ponding locations).
d. The interchange design for TH 35 and 95 shall provide direct and convenient access to
.
.
.
Downtown Stillwater without circuitous traffic movement causing congestion and traffic
delays.
e. Convenient pedestrian and bicycle access shall be provided from the Aiple Property park
to and across the new bridge.
f. All iMpacts to Stillwater's riverfronts, parks and open space system shall be minimized
and mitigated to the maximum extent feasible.

Editorial: Stillwater bridge: Right design
can enhance the valley
As competing interests attempt consensus on siting a new bridge at
Stillwater, they face a few rough certainties. The bridge will be built
sooner or later; unabating traffic loads and political pressure insist
upon it. It will be bigger than the old lift bridge and less than a mile
downstream; no other visible solution makes sense. And it will
accelerate metropolitan sprawl into western Wisconsin; that is the
nature of big new bridges.
These are unwelcome realities for those who love the St. Croix River
and have fought against plans that put auto flow above all other
considerations. Having defeated a design that affronted both the river
and the federal environmental law protecting it, they must now strive
to shape a better alternative.
Such a result may be within reach. With the support of skilled
consultants and guidance from a wide spectrum of partisans, former
Minnesota Transportation Commissioner Dick Braun has generated
three options for a new bridge. All are smaller, shorter, straighter and
potentially more attractive than the massive diagonal span the
Minnesota and Wisconsin transportation departments tried to thrust
across the landscape.
Of these, the downstream alignment known as option C seems best.
It requires a new cut into the Wisconsin bluffs, butmakes use of a
ravine to stay low across the river and disappear quickly on the
eastern side. It makes good use of existing road connections and past
land acquisitions in Minnesota. And it does not need the
double-decked access structures along the Stillwater shoreline that
appear necessary with two upstream alternatives.
But even after the best alignment is chosen, other key issues will
remain -- and on these, the perspectives of environmental groups and
the National Park Service should carry great weight.
All of Braun's alternatives envision a four-lane bridge. His data
suggest a two-lane alternative won't meet current demand, while four
lanes will exceed it. The Minnesota Center for Environmental
Advocacy wants to have its own expert crunch the numbers and, if a
two-lane solution seems plausible, to make the case for it. It should
have the fullest opportunity to do so.
Another important question -- what becomes of the lift bridge once a

Page 2 of2
new span is opened -- has been left outside the mission of Braun's
group, and this is unfortunate. There is no good reason for having
two bridges within sight of each other. Perhaps some portion of the .
old bridge should be preserved to honor its historical significance
and its emotional importance to Stillwater. But the Park Service, the
Sierra Club and others should not be asked to embrace a new bridge
without a commitment to eliminating the decayed navigation
impediment it is intended to replace.
Finally there are considerations of design -- visual weight,
architectural grace, recreational function. A bridge can be far more
than a conduit for cars, and in this setting it must be so. Pedestrians
and cyclists should feel welcome on this structure; boaters should
enjoy passing under it. The river's free flow and shorelines must be
disrupted minimally. The span, the piers and the approaches should
honor their setting with respect to size, style, materials and ornament.
. startribune.CDffi
. Opinion
If political realities dictate a new bridge, they also create an
opportunity for the river's advocates to demand, as the price of a
peaceful resolution, that their interests be built into it. If they do so
skillfully, these groups will be able to claim victory in a bridge that
not only averts needless damage to the St. Croix valley, but actually
enhances its charm.

PROJECT TASKS AND DESCRIPTION
Introduction
(n t988 un hi~l()rical survey was completed for downtovm Stillwater. The areas known
as the Aipk and Kolliner Park properties were not included in that study. The City of
Stillwater has requested that an intensive historical survey of the properties be conducted,
and the rC~'llllts h€ included in the city's Master Plan cWTently being prepared by SRF
Consulth1g Group, Inc. A cultural resuurCl:S assessment and historical survey will
continue the methodology implemented in the 1988 study in order to ensure consistency
in the nl1al product. However, there will be greater analysis of the historical
arehH~ol()gjcal potential of the sites than was previously undertaken. The draft Master
Plan has already identified five historic sites on the Aiple property thal im.:luc.lt the
Nnrthw~stern Mill: and five historic sites on the Kolliner Park property that include the
Ea~l Sid~ Lumber' Company, a Tourist Camp and a swimming beach. The study will

A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING STREET EASEMENT
FOR TIDRD AVENUE SOUTH
WHEREAS, during the construction of Local Improvement #185 the roadway on Third
A venue South was replaced in the same location that it had existed. After replacement it was
discovered that the curb and gutter encroached upon property owned by Orwin Lee and Anita M.
Carter, owners of Lot I, Block 13; Hersey, Staples and Co.'s Addition to Stillwater; and
WHEREAS, the encroaching right-of-way of Third Avenue South haq)een traveled in
the same location for at least thirty (30) continuous years giving prescriptive rights in the City to
the traveled portion of Third Avenue South even though private adjacent owners have improved
and maintained the road from time to time; and
WHEREAS, Carters are willing to convey an easement to the City in order that the
boundaries of the encroachment can be properly defined. The easement form is attached as
Exhibit "A". However, the Carters have requested assurances from the City that the conveyance
of the easement to the City will not work prejudice to them.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
.
1. That after the conveyance of the easement to the City, the lot setback area, both for
front yard, side yard and corner lot requirements be measured from the boundaries of the lot
before the encroachment and not be reduced by the area of the easement.
2. That the area required under the Zoning Ordinance for lot size area requirements will
be measured from the lot lines before the conveyance of the easement and not be reduced by the
area of the easement.

TO: Mayor and City Council

.
FROM:
Klayton H. Eckles /u y/
City Engineer
SUBJECT: NSP Proposal
Installation of Downtown Decorative Street Lights
Project 9819
DISCUSSION:
Attached is an agreement from Northern States Power Company. This agreement would involve the
changing of ownership of the existing downtown street light system, as well as the installation of new
decorative streetlights. Under this agreement NSP would not only install the new light system, but also own
and operate the new system as well as the old system.
This agreement would cover the installation of lights on Main Street and Chestnut Street from Main
to the bridge. It does not cover any streets west of Main Street. In the agreement NSP proposes to complete
this work for an amount of $199,403.00 for the bulk of the work, plus other minor charges for repairs and
restorations to the existing light system.
City Council has been waiting for results ofthe NSP proposal for some time. However, the results
of proposal seem favorable in that the proposed City costs appear reasonable. The issue, of course for the
City, is how to pay for these improvements. There are two possible funding sources that Council may wish
to explore further.
1. Using the 429 local improvement process that would result in assessments.
2. Set up a special taxing district for those properties bordering the lighted streets.
If the City were to proceed with the assessment option, a feasibility report and public hearing
process would be required. Note that this information has not been presented to any of the interested parties
including the Chamber.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council consider as to whether or not the City wishes to proceed further with
this issue at this time.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council wishes to explore this issue further, Council should give direction on which funding
options appear to be more desirable.

Re: John E. Roettger
Contract for Private Development
Downtown Parking Ramp/Condo Project
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
In late 1997, the City and John Roettger d/b/a Croix Bu~lders,
Inc., entered into a contract whereby Mr. Roettger would purchase
certain property owned by the City and John Bourdaghs in the City
of Stillwater and construct a condominium and parking ramp. My
client has been unable to comply with the deadlines set forth in
that agreement because of an inability to obtain financing. At the
present time, Mr. Roettger has been approached by two different
individuals representing a company that is interested in either
investing in or taking over the project. As you know, Mr. Roettger
has spent a substantial amount of money in connection with
architectural work, soil testing, etc., for this project. This
potential investor/buyer needs additional time, however, in order
to see if a financing package can be put together to make the
proj ect work. Accordingly, the purpose of this letter is to
request on behalf of Mr. Roettger, an extension of the deadlines
set forth in the contract with the City for a period of six months.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Re: Property described as:
Lot 6, Block 44, Carli & Schulenberg's addition, 3rd Ward. Property ID R
21.030.20.13.0026
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We would like to apply for an exemption to the proposed moratorium from building on
the North Hill for this property.
We have, over the last ten years, incurred considerable expense to develop this property
into a buildable lot. These expenses include:
· Vacating streets,
· Perk tests and engineering report,
· Surveys of the property,
· Construction of a driveway,
· And we received a license from the city in 1993 to access this property via a roadway
in Schulenberg Park.
The City would have the opportunity before construction of a house on this lot to exercise
any necessary caution to mitigate the problems that have occurred in other parts of
Stillwater. We built the driveway in accordance with requirements imposed by the city
and have suffered no ill effects through several rainy Spring seasons.
This property may be the last unimproved lot in Stillwater that has a good view of the 51.
Croix River. Without an exemption to the proposed moratorium, we would not have the
opportunity to recoup the investments we have made to make this a buildable lot.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely yours,
B\D\~

j
FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~
DATE: September 22, 1998
SUBJECT: Request for Relief from Moratorium Ordinance
I have revi~~wed Minnesota Statutes ~462.355, Subd. 4, which gives authority to the City to
regulate, restrict or prohibit any use or development within the jurisdiction in order to conduct
planning studies to determine whether the Ordinance can restrict already platted lots or parcels
that even recently have been approved for development.
Since the statute allows the City to prohibit "any use or development", it does allow the City to
deny building permits during the period of the Moratorium as long as the City is in good faith
conducting studies to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its
citizens.
Since this is a zoning question, however, it is always within the discretion of the City Council to
grant relief if circumstances warrant. It is, therefore, discretionary with the City Council whether
to prohibit building permits altogether or to grant specific relief if circumstances require.

Dear Mr. Kriesel:
I am forwarding this letter to you after reading the Star Tribune article (week of September 14)
pertaining to the skateboard facility located in Northland Park.
My family lives in North St. Paul. We enjoy many aspects of your wonderful city such as the
fireworks display on the 4th, nice restaurants, boating on the river, hiking, shopping, etc. My
son, who is 18, was very happy to hear about the new skateboard park since it has always been
difficult to find a place, other than your own driveway, to skate. He has been skateboarding
since he has been 13 years old. It has been very frustrating for him and for us to fmd a safe place
for him to enjoy his sport. In the last few years, it has increased in popularity yet there is no
place where they are allowed and in many instances, my sons and his friends are treated with
dis.respect. There is always city funds for tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields and
hiking/biking trails. I feel skateboarding is no different. It is good exercise, keeps teenagers
busy and they enjoy being outdoors.
Last week, I visited the park and watched my son and his friend. At the time, there were about
25 kids skateboarding. In reference to the article, a few neighbors were complaining about the
noise generated by the skateboards. As I watched, I noticed that skateboarding is kind of a
solitary sport. Even though they are together skating, they rarely say much to each other. There
was no yelling, foullangage or fooling around. They were too busy perfecting their own moves.
I also noticed that the older kids were really watchful of the littler kids and kept out of their way.
I feel that the noise was minimal (no worse than a cheering crowd at a baseball game). It closes
at 6:00 p.m. which is reasonable for neighbors. What is city park for anyway? It should be for
the recreation and enjoyment of our young people too! I have heard that Oakdale is considering a
skateboard park. They also experience problems with what to do with the growing amount of
kids interested in the activity. I think every city should consider what you have done since all
other sports are readily accepted at city parks.
I am impressed with how nice this facility is maintained and I hope you continue to use this
location in the future for our kids to have a great time!

TV seeks to improve fishing in. Brainerd area
by Mike Rahn
~'\
Less than a mile from Stoney
Brook as the heron flies, high-
powered runabouts pull slalom-
ing waterskiers, expectant anglers
backtroll for elusive walleyes, and jet-
skis jump wakes and emit the whines
for which they are so deservedly
detested. Onshore, sunbathers lather
up in hopes of striking a balance
between cancer-inducing rays and
"tanning" rays, golfers line up putts,
and tennis players mop brows between
volleys.
This is Gull Lake country,
near Brainerd, the destination for more
vacationers than any other such locale
in Minnesota. While still able to boast
of great natural beauty and recreation-
al appeal, the Gull lake area can in
some dimensions be best described as
'" an outstate Lake Minnetonka.
For our heron, who may stalk
both the shallows of Stoney Brook for
tr~ut and tIAallows of Gull Lake for
mmnows, .s and hapless young
gamefish, the contrast could hardly be
greater. For trout fishers, too, these
are different worlds, despite their
proximity. .ugh virtually shoulder
to shoulder with one of the most
intensely developed recreation areas in
Minnesota, Stoney Brook is still a
place where you can slip into a world
almost as private and secluded as any
but the truly remote Midwest trout
streams.
In July, the Minnesota DNR
completed two weeks of habitat work
on Stoney Brook, most directed at
repairing and replacing instream struc-
tures that had been damaged by flood-
ing during the spring high water period
of 1997, as well as stabilizing banks in
areas where erosion potential exists.
Similar habitat work, including repair,
replacement and new initiatatives, has
been identified as an annual future pri-
ority for the DNR Area Fisheries
office.
Stoney Brook flows some 19
miles from its headwaters west of
Kelly Lake in Cass County, to eventu-
ally discharge its flow into Upper Gull
Lake. Much of upper Stoney Brook is
brushy, alder-lined, alternately deep
and -- in some places -- even sea-
sonally dry. But the lower two miles -
- the section managed with Minnesota
DNR and TV efforts -- are consis-
tently cool, clear and very hospitable
to trout, despite some midsummer
periods of low water, and oftentimes
skittish, hard-to-approach fish.
While Stoney Brook has seen
brook, rainbow and brown trout stock-
ing dating back at least to the 1950's,
no stocking has taken place since
1989, and both brook and brown trout
are thriving. Fish abundance, as mea-
sured in pounds-per-acre by elec-
trofishing census, had by 1996 almost
reached that of 1989, a year when both
naturally reproducing and stocked fish
were present in the stream. Censusing,
which has been annual since 1989, will
now move to a biennial schedule to
reduce stress and potentialloss of cap-
tured fish, according to Fisheries
Specialist Dale Logsdon, the on-site
leader of DNR habitat work on Stoney
Brook.
potentially vulnerable sites.
Repairs were made at 10 sites, includ-
mg
* reinforcement of some 400 feet of
streambank with field stone
* 4 new lunker structures added, 2
replaced and 2 repositioned
* 1 tip-dam repaired
* 1 rock dam removed
A rainy June, with water levels at
times as much as 12 inches above nor-
mal for the period, hampered the DNR
crew somewhat, making backhoe
access and instream repair and setting
of structures difficult. This year's work
was funded through trout stamp pro-
ceeds and a $1,500 donation by the
Gull Area Lakes Association (GALA).
Happily, the Area Fisheries
Office appears committed to providing
staff and other resources to help in the

The lower managed water is
in the combined ownership of private
landowners, Cass County and the City
of Lakeshore, and easements are in
place here, too.
On a watershed level, there
are plans for providing assistance in
implementing alternative cattle water-
ing options in Stoney Brook's semi-
agricultural headwaters, where,
though at present not considered
threatening, there may be potential ,to
either improve water quality or pre-
vent potential negative impacts on the
stream.
Paul Bunyan TU Chapter
President Mickey Johnson, reflecting
on past habitat management work
done on Stoney Brook, stressed the
need for learning from past experience
-- successful and otherwise -- in
choosing future habitat improvements
that will be most durable, and least
maintenance-intensive. Johnson
stressed that Stoney Brook's manage-
ment should reflect its particular char-
acter in terms of substrate, gradient,
flow and other characteristics, which
in combination may yield a different
management "prescription" than for
trout streams elsewhere.
Stoney Brook is currently a
healthy, productive trout stream, one
that can support catch-and-release
fishing, and can also benefit from con-
tinued attention to sound streamside
and instream habitat work. Whether
Stoney's future will be impacted by
the substantial growth taking place in
the Brainerd Lakes Area remains to be
seen. But, if there is a vigilant and
activist trout fishing cOalency to
"stand watch" for its contI tl protec-
tion, Stoney Brook may remain a
secluded,' seductive escape from the
"rec-mania" to which it lies so close.

A. S' development in the seven
c.ounty metropolitan area con-
tmues, those streams capable
of supporting coldwater fishes are in
jeopardy. Historically, the small
streams in this area provided habitat
for native brook trout and other
endemic fishes. Human encroachment
in the form of development and related
infrastructure has severely degraded
several streams to the point that they
are nothing more than drainage ditch-
es. This discussion focuses on metro-
politan area streams which currently
support trout; baseline information
regarding physical/biological parame-
ters, and historical use; and future
management plans.
Eagle Creek (Scott County), a
tributary of the Minnesota
River, receives much attention
due to rapid development in the areas
adjacent to its borders. The streams
proximity to the Minnesota Valley
NWR constitutes its importance as a
migration corridor for wildlife. This
stream supports a naturally reproduc-
ing population of brown trout, as well
as oth~me and non-game fishes.

serves as habitat for waterfowl, passer-
ine birds, reptiles,and mammals.

lore. Current management of the
Eagle Creek area includes the
Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) purchase of a 400 foot wide
riparian corridor also known as the
Eagle Creek Aquatic Management
area. Current research by Marty
Melchior examined limiting factors to
brown trout production in the creek.
Initial findings indicate that the stream
lacks microhabitat, is limited in juve-
nile spawning habitat, and may be too
small to support a viable fishery. This
stream, like others in the metro, has
always had limited fishing potential,
but serves as a barometer of water
quality. Future plans include improv-
ing current trout conditions, expansion
of trout spawning possibilities, the
construction of observation decks and
hiking trails near Boiling. Spririgs.
Also, the DNR fisheries management
section is considering designating
Eagle Creek as a catch and release
trout fishery.

there is little development pressure
because the creek lies mostly within

interested in selling to developers or to

calcareous fen that is rare enough to
warrant future protection. This stream
supports a small coldwater fishery

~ STILLWATER TOWNSHIP PARK COMMITTEE MEETING
September 14, 1998 Town Hall
7:00 P.M.
PRESENT: Chairperson Rod Hunter, Committee Members Lee Ann
Linn and Barbara Troolin. Also, Town Board Liaison
Sheila-Marie Untiedt and Tony Anderson (National Park
Service).
1. AGENDA - Adopted as written.
2. MINUTES - M/S/P Troolin/Linn moved to approve the 8/10/98 Stillwater
Township Park Committee Meeting minutes as written. (3 ayes)
3. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE - PROPERTY ON ARCOLA TRAIL - Tony Anderson
relayed the history of the National Park Service property. Originally
a visitor's center was planned for the Foster property. When Mr. Anderson
saw the property some years later he found it too steep and impractical for
a center. People in the area were opposed to such a major operation and
also a suggested parking lot. Problems at the high bridge perhaps influenced
their attitude. Due to an overload of work elsewhere it became a burden for
the National Park Service to take care of trails so it was decided to keep
the area as a nature preserve. Local people make use of the area and the
.and appears to be in good shape. The meadow area is marshy and should not
e exposed to great use.
Mr. Anderson expressed that the Federal Park Service would consider a
reasonable proposal for working with the township for developing a
minimal use trail and parking a distance away from the area.
4. FAIRY FALLS - It was briefly mentioned that the Fairy Falls area needs
to be preserved but consideration given to not encouraging the masses to go
there because of dangerous drop-offs.
5. NICANNA HILLS CONSERVANCY - A Carnelian/Marine Watershed representative
approached the township about the Nicanna Hills Conservancy Area. They
would 1 ike to see it under private control to preserve it. Sheila-Marie
Untiedt will see if the watershed can spend its funds for scenic easements.
6 .
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN -
1. The trails should be listed the same a,s the
parks.
2. The park plan will be an element of the
comprehensive plan.
3. Specific guide lines for active parks should
be listed for lighting and acreage.
MEETING CHANGE - The next park meeting will be held on October 19th due
the Columbus Day holiday on the 12th.
YEAR-END REVIEW - Requested that the Director of Parks do a year end

FRIDAyFAX
A weekfy legislative update from the League 01 Minnesota Cities
Vol. 3, No. 21
september 18, 1998
LMC Policy Committees complete work
The League's Policy Committees
completed their policy drafting
work this week with one excep.-
tion-a transportation funding
policy. The existing League policy
on transportation funding called for
an increase in the gas tax, as well
as flexibility in how gas tax rev-
enues can be used. Although most
cities agree transportation needs
across the state exceed available
funds, the issue of flexibility in the
use of gas tax and automobile
license fees is more controversial.
The state constitution requires the
gas tax and license tab revenues
be used to fund highways and
streets. The gas tax and the
automobile license tab revenues
are deposited in the Highway User
Fund, which is distributed to the
state, counties, and to cities over
5,000 population. The distributions
to counties and cities over 5,000
population are made through
separate needs-based formulas.
Some cities believe the constitu-
tional provision to spend revenue
gas tax on highways is constrain-
ing. They believe that flexibility in
the use of the gas tax or other
revenue sources would lead to
more efficient and effective public
transportation outcomes. They
also believe overall funding for
transportation and transit is inad-
equate.
Other communities are concerned
the Highway User Fund is not
meeting the current needs across
the state and, if the use of High-
way User Fund revenues is ex-
panded to include non-highWay
uses, highway projects-especially
those outside the metro area-
could be further delayed or can-
oeled altogether.
The League Board, acting on a
motion from the Local Economies
Policy Committee, established a
subcommittee on transportation
funding. The committee will include
Minneapolis Councilmember Joan
Campbell, Fergus Falls Administra-
tor Jim Nitchals, Rochester
Councilmember Marcia Marcoux,
Mankato Councilmember Kathleen
Sheran, Rosemount Council-
member Kevin Carroll, and Falcon
Heights Administrator Sue Hoyt.
The committee will consider the
needs of League members and
develoP a balanced policy that
acknowledges these needs.
New l6$ues-New Policies:
During this year's process, the
policy committees considered
many new and emerging issues
ranging from electronic commerce
to railroad regulation and electric
energy restructuring. The commit-
tee policy drafts include new
proposed policies on these issues
as well as drafts opposing the
extension of limited market value,
supporting tort immunity from year
2000 litigation, and opposing a
mandatory statewide building
code. In all, the committees are
proposing more than 70 policies,
many of which have been substan-
tially updated or are new policies.
Next Steps: Legislative Commit-
tee, Policy Adoption and Bills, BlIIs,
Bills The legislative Committee,
which includes the chairs of the
league's policy committees and
the members of the League's
Board of Directors, will meet on
Thursday, Oct.15 to review the
committee recommendations. The
Legislative Committee will then
forward the policies to the full
membership for adoption at the
Policy Adoption Conference on
Nov. 20. Each member city will
receive a copy of the proposed
policies approximately two weeks
before the Policy Adoption Confer-
ence.
One other important date: the
1999 legislative session begins
Jan. 5. Until then, the League's
staff will be busy preparing draft
legislation on the adopted League
policies. Your involvement during
the legislative session will be
instrumental in making the
League's policies become
new laws.
