The background checks showed a discrepancy on one application. Although the application stated no one listed on the application had been convicted of a felony, the background check revealed a felony conviction. The following are listed as a basis for denial in Chapter 41, Sec. 41-2, Subd. 5 (2) applicant has been convicted within the past five years of any violation of a federal, state or local law, ordinance provision, or other regulation relating to tobacco or tobacco products, or tobacco related devices, or any felony within the last ten years, and (4) applicant fails to provide any information required on the application, or provides false or misleading information. Subd. 5 also states the existence of any particular ground for denial does not mean that the city must deny the license. Council determined the current application would be denied because of the lack of disclosure of required information. Council would then require a new application be completed along with a letter of explanation as to why the original application was not completed accurately.

The study is funded by a grant from the (proposal attached) Certified Local Government Grants (CLG) through the Minnesota Historical Society with in-kind matching from the City. An ad was placed in the Gazette on November 10, 1998 and ten Request for Proposals for a principal investigator for the study were sent out. Don Empson was the only one that sent a formal proposal. Don worked on the Greeley Survey and the Dutchtown Survey. . O. ~ A PRoPOSAL FOR '. A SURVEY OF HOLCOMBE'S ADDITIONS SUBMITTED TO THE STILL\VATER HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION ~ BY EMPSON ARCHIVES P.O. Box 791 Stillwater, Mn 55082 351-0172 November 18, 1998 . Holcombe's Addition Proposal . Area of the Survey On April 18th, 1855, Milton H. Abbott, a passenger on the stealliboat, Excelsior, first landed on the Stillwater levee. Although intending to go on to St. Paul, he somehow felt it was ordained that he should instead settle in Stillwater. But he was not completely enamoured of the fledgling young town: "We must be plain. We confess we did not altogether like the appearance of Stillwater. We admired the beautiful Lake St. Croix-we admired the excellent and beautiful {ish which occasionally leaped from its waters-we loved the pure springs which came gushing and sparkling from its hill-sides, and above all we were enraptured with the kindness and hospitality of its citizens. But the sand and the rugged hills, and some other things, we did not altogether fancy."1 ~ Abbott's first task was to build himself a home. He toured the city looking at various lots, but he had definite criteria. ''VVe want pure fresh air, and-we want plenty of elbow room. We want a good large spot for play-grounds; and for pasture for a horse, a cow, a few fat porkers, a Shanghai rooster and his seraglio of hens." After much disappointment, Abbott mentioned his troubles to "Capt." Holcombe who informed him that he owned several acres west of town that would suit Abbott perfectly in that Abbott would not want for room at all out there. Upon seeing the land, Holcombe's Addition, Abbott was delighted: . "There was not a house, or fence upon it. It was wild and uncultivated. It was preceisely as it was when the red man of the forest roamed over it and we imagined we could see some of his footprints...In our perigrinations and perambulations we saw several of the little animals here called gophers-sleek, active, nimble, saucy chaps-and several ant-hills... We were so pleased with every thing in Holcombe's Addition-its wildness- 1 Saint Croix Union, December 22, 1855; November 14, 1856. 1 Holcombe's Addition Proposal scenery-its remoteness from human habitations-its distance from the Lake, being just a half mile-its cool and pure breezes- its gophers and its ant-hills-that we concluded, at once, to put. up a shanty out there...''2 ~ Holcombe's Addition and Holcombe's Second Addition, recorded in September of 1855, were the second and third Additions made to the original city of Stillwater. (The first was Carli & Schulenburg's Addition.) Much to Milton Abbott's subsequent disappointment, the two plats, with over a hundred houses, was one of the most populous areas of the city by the time Minnesota became a state in 1858. It is my hope that this survey will find at least a couple of these early pre-Civil War houses remaining in this survey area. Holcombe's Additions comprise the N~ of the NW?4 of Section 33, T30N, R20W. The eastern boundary is Holcombe Street; the western ~ boundary is Center Street; the northern boundary is Willard Street;. the southern boundary is Hancock Street. The total area, including part of Lilly Lake, is 80 acres. Our Proposal We will incorporate the information gleaned from our research in the context of Robert Vogel's Stillwater Historic Contexts and other research done previously in Stillwater. We will review the survey work on the properties prepared by the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission. 2 Saint Croix Union, December 22, 1855. . 2 Holcombe's Addition Proposal ~ We will identify, date, and catalog the 130 properties in the Preservation Planning Area in the manner required by the Minnesota Historica}. Society. If necessary, we will talk with them directly to make sure we provide the correct information in the form they wish. We will discuss the architectural styles in the Preservation Planning Area and compare it to other Stillwater neighborhoods. We will photograph all properties. We will prepare a report which describes the development of the area, recommendations for future survey work, and suggest properties that might be eligible for local historic designations and/or eligible for the National Register of Places. We will not make any nominations ourselves. We will discuss any possible planning methods for preservation of historic structures, landscapes, and neighborhoods. ~ We will attend three meetings with the Stillwater H.P.C. Our Research . We propose to do a thorough study of the area, despite the considerable time and money constraints. We will use the yearly tax assessor's records collected in the State Archives and available on microfilm, 1861-1900, at the Stillwater Public Library--a gift of Rivertown Restoration. These records were generated much the same way they are today. Every year the tax assessor viewed all the properties in the city and made an estimate of the market value of the land and the improvements. By following a property through the years, it is usually possible to determine when the value jumped from that of a lot only to that of a lot with a building on it. This record also contains the name of the property owner through the years. While this kind of research is tedious in the extreme, it gives accurate information that can be found in no other way. 3 Holcombe's Addition Proposal (The first two surveys used the date of building found on the assessment card ~ at the tax assessor's office. Before the turn of the century, the~e dates are notoriously inaccurate, an admission readily made by the tax assessor's office itself.) Rivertown Restoration recently paid to have the Stillwater building permit applications, 1886-1940, microfilmed. They, along with an index compiled by Kay Thueson, are available at the Stillwater Public Library. The applications give the date of building, the size of the structure, name of the owner, sometimes the name of the builder and architect, and other incidental information. There are also applications for repairs and remodeling. This information is invaluable and essential for any thorough study. There are useful records available in the Water Department, the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department and in the .Minutes of the Stillwater City Council that have never been used. The Sanborn Insurance Maps will be of value. There are a number of unpublished manuscripts and some published reminiscences which might contain some useful information, although, frankly, we have found mu(:h of this information inaccurate. In general, we. will try to use only original sourcoo for our research. ~ For visual aids, there are two Bird's Eye View Maps of Stillwater drawn in 1869, and again in 1879. With their accurate representations of each house and building, these ar~ extremely useful. We will talk to the residents of the area in cases where we have some uncertainties; when convenient we will try to obtain copies of property Abstracts. We will also use the land records at the office of the Recorder of Deeds. There are photographs on file at the Stillwater Public Library, the Washington County Historical Society, and the Minnesota Historical . 4 Holcombe's Addition Proposal ~ Society. In our experience, many residents have old photos of their homes which we would try to incorporate in our research. In 1978,.. Rivertown Restoration photographed every house in Stillwater over 50 years old. These photographs are presently unorganized, but they might be useful in particularly perplexing cases.

The lots are contained in the RA zoning distict and are subject to City of Stillwater zoning ordinances for RA-One Family Districts. In addition, the lots are in an area that has recently been annexed into the City of Stillwater (the annexation area) and are subject to mitigation policies that have been defined in the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) The purpose of the AUAR is to minimize or mitigate potential environmental impacts from development in the annexation area. Creekside is bounded on the east by single family homes that currently are in Stillwater Township. These homeowners will have the option to subdivide their lots into smaller lots that would front onto the existing street in Creekside. To accomplish .this subdivision, the homeowners would have to be annexed into the City of Stillwater and be subject to RA zoning ordinances. The property is bounded on the west by a partially wooded wetland with a creek flowing through. This creek currently is a tributary to Brown's Creek, a designated trout stream. The Developer, Trail Head Development Corporation, will grade the lots, install sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water service, curb and gutter, street lights, development landscaping and mailboxes and will provide for the installation of private utilites such as natural gas, electric, telephone and cable TV. There will be sidewalks on one side of the streets within the development. The sidewalks will be located on the City right of way and are for public use. Their is an eight foot bituminous recreational trail that will run through the development. It will run from Boutwell Road to the north end of the property along the west side of the street. This trail is a part of a trail system that is being developed by the City and will be owned by the City upon acceptance. There will also be a nature pathway running from north to south along the wetlands. This pathway will be naturally surfaced and open to the public for foot traffic only. The park contained in the development will be dedicated to the City. Initial improvements to the park will be done by the developer and the City. The City may make additional improvements in the future. Residents are encouraged to participate with the City in the planning and development of the park and trail system. . . . It is of utmost importance to the City and the Developer to protect the corridor running along the creek as open greenspace and water quality in the creek. There is a 100 foot conservation easement from the center of the creek and 25 feet from the'edge of the wetland that is recorded against each lot. The purpose of this easement is to provide a natural buffer zone to filter runoff and provide habitat. This buffer shall be allowed to remain in a natural state. Residents may plant in this area but should research their selections to be compatible with on site conditions. Plantings to shade the stream are encouraged. Fertilizer management and liiter control are important management practices that are expected to be implemented to protect water quality. Good resources to help with site planning are Soil and Water Conservation Districts, USDA Soil Conservation Service, Minnesota Cooperative Extension Service, and the City of Stillwater. Residents and builders are expected to implement and maintain protection during construction of homes. Site access shall be developed to minimize disturbed areas and runoff. Silt fence shall be maintained until establishment of turf or natural cover. Streets shall be kept clean at all times and construction debris should be contained. = Handouts are attached to provide additional information.

Protecting our Waters People who typically buy lakeshore lots do so because they love the outdoors. However there isa terrible stereotype of what the "perfect" lakeshore lot should look like when developed. It includes an open, manicured bluegrass lawn right down to the water's edge. All of the aquatic plants in front of the property are removed and a sand blanket is put in to create a swimming beach. The landowners that do this have perfectly good intentions and they do not wish to damage the environment. They are only trying to keep up with their neighbor's yard-keeping standards, or to manage the lot like their parents or grandparents did. What they really have done is to element the rich natural diversity of their lakeshore habitat and replaced it with a boring, labor-intensive backyard. You can take action to reduce your impact on the environment by retaining the natural characteristics of your property. These practices are clearly aimed at residents who value the resource enough to protect it. The guidelines are equally appropriate for property near lakes or rivers, and all are relevant for every Minnesotan who shares a commitment to preserve our abundant water resources. The water "weeds" that were ripped out to make a swimming beach were actually native aquatic plants that helped prevent shoreline erosion. They helped purify the water and their photosynthesis created oxygen. In fact, an open lawn down to the water's edge is an invitation for nuisance wildlife problems to occur. Canadian geese walk onto the lawn to eat the bluegrass. Mallard ducks also like to loaf on such open shorelines because it is a good vantage-point to watch for predators. A "filter strip" is a zone of vegetation adjacent to a water body where management activities are kept to a minimum so that less than 5% soil is exposed. A filter strip should be established in the area between the shoreline (the ordinary high water level) and the area to be managed. (Figw-e 1) The width of the filter strip will vary depending on steepness (percent slope), length of the slope, and soil type. In general, the steeper the slope, the wider the filter strip should be.

Let's try a fresh, ecological, holistic look at lakeshore lot management and habitat preservation. The primary feature of this concept is to imagine that you are creating a natural buffer zone along the lakeshore. Your goal is to preserve or restore as much natural vegetation as possible to that zone while still providing for reasonable lake access and recreatiooal opportunities for your family. ~ -'~:r ~ ~ If you own 100 feet oflakeshore frontage, think in tenns of naturalizing about 75 feet of shoreline and using 25 feet for Lake Access, a boat dock, and/or a swimming area. This Buffer zone or filter strip will reduce the amount of surface runoff and pollutants by allowing interaction with the soils and vegetation. Pollutants are removed by physical processes such as filtration, settling, by chemical binding processes and biological uptake. Even if you do not live directly on the shoreline, the way you manage your household wastewater and property can have a significant impact on water quality downstream. Pathways that carry contaminants may not always be obvious. Drain tiles, ditches, storm sewers, paved roads, and shallow ground water can all carry pollutants from residential, industrial, and agricultural areas into lakes, rivers, or wetlands. Fertilizers and chemicals applied to lawns or crops can wash down driveways or ditches and end up in surface water. Improper disposal of hazardous household waste or industrial chemicals can add toxins to our lakes. Poor land use practices result in erosion, increasing the load of sediment in our rivers. These adverse impacts on surface and ground waters not only affect water quality for human use, but also damage wildlife and fish habitat and /Other nanrral resources. Lawns and gardens near shorelands must be carefully planned and maintained to prevent possible contamination of surface waters. Native vegetation should be considered as a quality alternative to cultured lawns and landscapes. Landscapes will revert to a native state if no maintenance is performed; planting native vegetation will hasten the process. cr Natural vegetation cannot be excessively removed from the "Shore Impact Zone," generally a distance of 50 to 100 feet from the surface water, depending upon the lake or river classification. Removal of vegetation from slopes and bluffs is also regulated. cr Yard waste, including leaves, grass clippings, fruit and vegetable wastes, and woody materials, should never be allowed to enter the water. These materials contain phosphorus and may contribute to degradation of surface water quality. cr A landowner should develop a plan before beginning any management activities. This plan should make clean water a priority while meeting the landowner's objectives. rv . :~or Month:<br> Planting t...cologically when selecting species http://www.extension.umn.edu/Documents/J/O/JOII07.htl ........... ~ UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Exterision S E R V ICE .................... April 20, 1998 May is Arbor Month: Planting trees this spring? Think ecologically when selecting species Nurseries and garden centers know how to appeal to the Johnny Appleseed in all homeowners. Young trees and shrubs hold the promise of future shade, fall color and sometimes even tasty fruits and nuts. Selecting a species that you'll enjoy for years to come, however, should involve more than just checking a nursery tag for information on size and winter hardiness. Gary Johnson, urban and community forestry specialist with the University of Minnesota Extension Service, suggests an ecosystem approach to selecting the best planting for your yard. This takes into account your area's soil type, precipitation, topography and natural vegetation. "Minnesota is an ecologically diverse state and not all trees do well in every planting situation," Johnson ~ says. "Selecting trees that will grow into healthy additions to our yards requires knowing the planting site and carefully matching trees to that environment." . He says some people blindly favor so-called native species over introduced or non-native species, but this approach can be short-sighted. "What the term native implies is that it is native to a certain niche in the environment," Johnson says. "Unless your yard is identical to that ecological niche it may not do well, while other introduced species may thrive." Johnson said, for example, that several of the metropolitan Twin Cities counties are ecologically typical of the Big Woods. Modem day factors can change that, however. These can include the amount of topsoil that developers have left behind, soil compaction from foot traffic and development and even salty winter road spray and runoff. These factors might spell doom for a native Big Woods species tree such as an oak, maple or basswood, while certain introduced species could still do well. Johnson encourages homeowners to research their tree selections carefully. "Too often, tree selections are based on what a nursery is promoting or what a neighbor has planted, not on a good analysis of the site and conditions." ~ Each publication sells for $3 (Minnesota residents add 7% sales tax), plus $2 shipping and handling.

TARGET POLLUTANTS This practice is directed at control of phosphorus and nitrogen in runoff from landscaped areas. Nitrogen is of special concern because of potential ground warer contamination from nitrates. EFFECTIVENESS Fertilizer management can be an effective practice for the control of nutrients from landscaped areas. Significant nutrient loads can result from over- application of lawn fenili1.er in urban areas. Restricting the amount of fertilizer applied to the quantity needed for plant growth will minimi7.e the potential for surface or ground water contamination. Although it is difficult to quantify the benefits. proper fertilizer management will reduce the availability of this material to be lost to surface or ground water. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Phosphorus is a major water quality concern because it is a primary cause of lake enrichment leading to excessive growth of aquatic plants and algae. Although misuse or misapplication of phospoolUs feItilizer can cause water quality problems. it may be needed to establish a healthy stand of vegetative cover. Phosphorus is essential to seedling germination and growth in new seedings. If the seeding fails or is sparse because of a phosphorus deficiency. the resulting erosion can cause sediment pollution, which carries a large nutrient load with it. In this case. the proper use of phosphorus fenilizer can actually reduce long-term nonpoint soun:e pollutioa In new seedings. phosphOIUS fertilizer should be incorporated into the soil during seedbed preparation. The soil should then be protected from erosion with appropriate erosion-control practices. Phosphorus fertilizer recommendations for new seedings are included in Table 5.1-1. Existing lawns should be aerated with a coring machine before the fertilizer is applied. PhosphOlUS fertilizer recommendations should be based upon a soU test. In some areas in Minnesota. solls are naturally high in phosphorus and other areas may have high levels because of a build-up from previous fertilizer applications. In these cases, it may be lO/89 5.1-1 ~ possible to use fertilizers that do not contain phosphorus. Phosphorus fertilizer recommendations for existing lawns are included in Table 5.1-2. When fertilizing vegetable and flower gardens. Table5.1-3 can be used as a guide for phosphorus fertilizer rateS. ~ Nitrogen is the fertilizer element that generally brings about the greateSt response in plants. It is found in soils in the ammonium form. the nitrate form, and as a component of soil organic matter. In all but very wet or dry soils. the ammonium form is readily converted to the nitrate form. This nitrate form is completely soluble and is not held tightly by soil particles. Therefore. nitrate can readily leach downward and contaminate ground water. Ground water contamination is most likely when excess nitrogen fertilizer is applied on sandy soils that are highly permeable. Because of the mobility of nitrate in most soils, nitrogen soil tests are not generally used for making nitrogen fettilizer recommendations in Minnesota. Nitrogen fertilizer guidelines for lawns and gardens are as follows: New lawn-Apply and incorporate 0.5 lb N/1OOO square feet (0.5-1 inch into soil) before planting. Existing lawns-Apply 0.5 -1.0 lb N/1000 square feet two to four times per year. Grass clippings left on the lawn (if evenly distributed by the mower) can be equal to one fertilizer application per year. A good role is never to apply ~ than 1.0 lb. N/lOOO square feet in anyone application. Vegetable and flower gardens-Apply 0.2 lb. NI 100 square feet An additional 0.18tb. NI100 square feet may be needed as a sidedress for sweet com, tomatoes. and cole crops. ~ To avoid nitrogen loss on sandy soils. apply fertilizer at one-half the rate but twice as often. Another option to avoid nitrogen loss in sandy soils is the use of slow-release nitrogen fertilizers or natural organic nitrogen sources. Applying no more than the suggested rate of nitrogen fertilizer will minimize the chance of ground water pollution problems.

This . . practice will prevent litter from becoming pollution as well as improving the aesthetics of the area. TARGET POLLUTANTS A major source of phosphorus in wban runoff is leaves and lawn cllppings. Removing these materials before they enter surface waters can reduce Phosphorus loadings significantly. In addition to leaves and lawn clippings. litter that should be controUed includes pet wastes. trash. ou. and chemicals. In addition to contributing nutrients. most of these m.aterials are organic and can create a high oxygen demand as they decay in water. Pet wasteS are also a major source of bacteria in urban runoff. EFFECTIVENESS eM. . '~'.' '''. . The effectiveness of a litter control program will depend upon the degree of public participation. A stUdy of storm mno1T into Minneapolis lakes found that phosphorus levels were .reduced by 30 to 40 percent when street gutters w~rc kept free of leaves and lawn clippings (Shapiro and Pfannkuck, 1973). This indicates a substantial benefit from controlling these materials. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS There are two categories of litter control programs, source reduction and removal programs. Haak and Qberts, 1983. offer the following suggestions for source reduction programs: . Litter containers should be conveniently placed and emptied frequently to prevent overflow. . Recycling programs should be promoted. . Public education programs should be developed since litter control programs depend upon public support. Litter removal programs include refuse and leaf collection, street cleaning, and catch basin cleaning. Garbage collection can reduce the amount of trash that ends up in water. Trash collection is no more effective than the public commitment to reduce littering in the fiat place. Removing trash from public areas is usually done for aesthetic reasons. Leaf collection occurs at the publiC and private level. 10/89 5.2-1 \j. . . ~ ~ MEMO To: From: Subject: Date: Mayor apd City Council Steve Russell, Community Development Director {l/ Update on Open Space Committee Activities December 10, 1998 In March 1998, the City Council officially established the Open Space Committee and set their charge as listed below: 1. Long Lake Woods. Strictly enforce wetland setback requirements for Echo Green area (50 foot setbacks for roads or building). A. Obtain additional information on availability and cost of Gadient Property. B. Develop open space trail system connecting Washington Parkway (Manning Avenue) to Gadient woods through Liberty/Legends project to Long Lake and City Woodland Park. C. Review development alternatives to minimize development impacts on woods 2. Review tree protection ordinance to make sure it provides maximum legal protection of significant trees 3. Review existing and develop updated city-wide open space site list. *4. Obtain information on open space funding program LCMR, Green Corridors, Natural Scenic Grant Program, ICETEA and others to assist with funding of open space program. Brown's Creek Watershed District. *5. Meet with Land Trust for public land and other open space organizations to see what services are available. 6. Review development incentives to preserve open space. Over the past nine months, the following activities have been completed by the Committee: 1. Long Lake Woods. The Committee has conducted a site tour of the Long Lake Woods and Gadient portion of the woods. The Planning Commission and Open Space Committee is currently meeting with a developer to see if a cluster housing development concept could be implemented to preserve the woods and open space. A trail leading from Manning Avenue and the future county trail to Long Lake through the Gadient woods is in the recently adopted trailways plan for the expansion area. t t Mayor and City Council Page 2 December 10, 1998 . The possibility ofthe City applying for DNR funds through the Natural and Scenic Grant Program to purchase the Gadient wood site was considered but an alternative site seems a better candidate for that program. 2. Tree Ordinance. The City has hired a forester and established a Tree Committee with representation from the Open Space Committee. A draft ordinance is being prepared and should be ready for public hearing review and adoption early 1999. 3. Open Space Site Use. The Open Space Committee has reconsidered the open space site list (see attached map) and recommends the Brown's Creek Park site as thetop priority site followed by the Gadient Woods site. The Committee recommends that the Council direct staffto explore the possibility of making application for Natural and Scenic Grant Program funds to assist with the purchase of the site (see attached memo dated 8-12-98). The Natural Resource Inventory for the Phase II expansion area currently underway will provide natural resources information that can be incorporated into a DNR grant request. 4. Grant Information. The Committee has obtained information on available grant programs that may be available to assist the City in obtaining open space sites. 5. Open Space Information. The Open Space Committee has met with several natural resource agencies and organizations. These organizations described their programs and areas of expertise are available to the Open Space Committee. The Open Space Committee held three site tours to review natural conditions in the expansion area with various natural resource experts. ~ 6. Development Incentive. The Open Space Committee has reviewed the cluster concept and density bonus to provide an incentive for developers to set aside additional open space land.

Memo To: City Council From: Open Space Committee ;z---- Date: 08/12/98 Re: DNR Natural & Scenic Area Grant Matching Funds Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - Local Grant Program Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program The MN DNR's local grants program assists local governments in acquiring fee title acquisition and permanent easement acquisition of natural and scenic areas. These funds are on a competitive selection process. Recently they have not been extremely competitive and now is a good time to apply. The grant applications require funding to be available and finances are needed to fulfil the application requirements. The Grant Applications must be submitted before March 31 to be eligible for funding and project selection by the DNR happens sometime the following summer. Right now is the time for the City of Stillwater to start planning for natural and scenic protection in our city. With the DNR help it is possible to save areas within our city for enhancement of the quality of life of the citizens and promote the benefits we receive from the current urban forests and openspace. ~ The funds will be applied to two possible land acquisitions being studied by the Stillwater Openspace Committee. The two areas are the "Gadient Woods" (attachment A) and "Morgan Court" (attachment B) which are both distinct natural area. The Gadient Woods are Oak woodland with large mature oaks. Morgan Court has a natural prairie Savannah. Both offer the City of Stillwater a good possibility to help enhance and protect natural and scenic areas in the City of Stillwater. With the addition of the land, the City of Stillwater would gain valuable natural lands that will enhance the quality of life for the residents of Stillwater. Grant awards are typically for fifty percent (50%) of the total eligible project costs up to the maximum grant amount of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). The match for the Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program must consist of cash as required by the DNR. The DNR also has a Trails Systems Grant that will help connect and increase the accessibility of the parks and natural areas in Stillwater. This Grant has similar requirements and can assist in an overall plan of continuous connection of our City's natural resources. (Attachment C) These programs require the City of Stillwater to apply the funds for a matching grant. With the maximum, grant match for natural and scenic areas being two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). The Openspace Committee believes two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) should be supplied by the city to. maximize the grant possibility and try to incorporate the possibility of other grants with the ~ ~ .

Your staff feels the proposed rules have the potential to undermine the CitY's Comprehensive Plan and AUAR Mitigation Plan and the efforts ofthe City, Stillwater Township, property owners and developers in charting the future ofthe Stillwater City Expansion Area. The proposed rules are significant enough for the Council to possibly meet with the BCWD at a workshop to make sure the proposed rules are understood by the City and the concerns of the City are heard by BCWD Board members. It is unfortunate the Brown's Creek Watershed District has chosen not to recognize the City's ~ comprehensive planning efforts and AUAR Mitigation Plan. Recommendation: Forward letter and comments from Mayor on proposed rules to Brown's Creek Watershed District. Attachment: Brown's Creek Watershed comments . t ... City of Stillwater Comments on Brown's Creek Watershed District Proposed Rules General Comments ~ Brown's Creek Watershed District was established to manage water quality and quantity within the entire Brown's Creek Watershed District. The City of Stillwater is a part of the district and shares natural resources and stormwater management concerns with the District. The District can play an invaluable role by managing, coordinating and regulating stormwater issues that transcend local government boundaries and require district-wide action. The City of Stillwater through its comprehensive planning process has addressed land use issues that effect stormwater management. An Alternative Urban Area Review (AUAR) (environmental impact report) was prepared at a considerable expense that factually and scientifically address the impact of comprehensive land use on Brown's Creek. The AUAR directly involved and benefitted from the participation of all state, regional, local and other natural resource agencies and organizations interested in the protection of Brown's Creek. Based on this comprehensive, factual and scientific analysis of comprehensive plan land use impacts on Brown's Creek, a mitigation plan was developed and adopted that when implemented mitigates or reduces the impacts of comprehensive plan development to an insignificant level. The burden to the City of Stillwater for the mitigation plan is large, $3 - 4 million. The City of Stillwater feels that the recent Comprehensive Plan Expansion Area AUAR is thorough and does provide a detailed watershed management strategy for the City portion of the ~ watershed as contained in the AUAR mitigation plan. Progress on the management plan was ., recently documented in an extensive report presented to BCWD (11- 98). The analysis contained in the AUAR is much more factual and scientific then the first generation watershed management plan prepared by the WMO. The AUAR is in effect a subwatershed plan and management strategy based on sound scientific and natural resource principals that protects Brown' Creek from development impacts. The proposed draft rules for the watershed are not based on scientific or factual information for Brown's Creek. The rules are based on a review of "stormwater management ordinances of a number of cities, counties and watershed district in other states". The City of Stillwater strongly contends that the comprehensive management strategy contained in the AUAR, based on the specific unique condition of Brown's Creek and the City subwatershed area is much more effective and appropriate then rules from watersheds in other states. Further, we feel the City Comprehensive Plan AUAR is in effect a second generation watershed plan for the City of Stillwater subwatershed area and should be accepted and approved by the BCWD in lieu of the proposed regulations and incorporated by reference into the second generation watershed plan when it is developed. . . ~ . ~ Specific Comment The draft regulations may be appropriate for large lot suburban or rural areas, but are not appropriate or practical for urban density development as is contained in the City of Stillwater's Comprehensive Plan. The following comments are offered by section as they appear in the proposed rules. Definitions Expansion - need to define structure as used in this definition. Facility - spell out standards 2.5 Feasible - is subjective and interpretation is at the pleasure of the District Board. Given the far ranging economic and engineering impact subject to this interpretation, thi~ definition will lead to many controversies. What is a trout stream worth? Highly susceptible wetland type - includes "seasonally flooded wetland." This is the lowest grade wetland and receives the lowest level of protection under the Wetlands Conservation Act. Often this type of wetland is barely discemable from non-wetll!lld and is usually a depression in an area of predominant uplands. It is likely to be heavily impacted by development. In many urban situations this type of wetland will eventually transform into a Type II or Type III wetland. Application of the "bounce" buffer standards to these wetlands is impractical and would have serious impacts on land use. Therefore, seasonally flooded wetland should be moved from the highly susceptible wetland type to the slightly susceptible wetland type. Impervious - what if surface has not yet been compacted but could be with use, it is impervious? Land-Altering Activity - spell out in this section rather than reference for clarity. Pre-development - is BCWD regulating vegetation removal as related to development. Reconstruction - is expansion and reconstruction the same for repairs and alterations? Redevelopment - where is redevelopment used in regulations. Steep slope - Twelve (12) percent grade is not a steep slope. Twenty-five (25) percent or 30 percent is a steep slope. Twelve (12) percent is a moderate slope. Section 1.3 The 60-day time frame seems excessive for minor projects that require a permit. Authorizing BCWD staff to issue "minor permits" should be considered. This section allows the managers 60 days to take action on an application. This coupled with the 28-day submittal deadline in Section 1.6 yields an 88-day turn around for all permit applicants. Thirty (30) days should be the maximum time, given that District review is supplemental to local reviews. Section 1.4 If proj ects are consistent with local plans then a process of certification rather than another complete review may be appropriate to reduce the time and cost of a second level of review. The notification process discussed in this section is overly bureaucratic. A landowner moving as little as three truckloads of dirt need not receive comment from landowners as distant as 600 feet. Normal permit review does not require a public hearing for erosion control. New plats and development plans will go through public hearing processes at the local level that provide many opportunities for public comment. ~ Section 1.5 The state required City notification area is 300 feet. Six hundred (600) feet seems excessive and expensive but may be appropriate in large lot rural areas. Section 1.6 The time required for decision for small projects seems excessive. Section 1.7 What are the days of the regular board meetings? "The Board meets bi-monthly on the first and third Mondays ofthe month"? Section 2.1 "Promote on-site infiltration" does not seem to be a purpose but a method of achieving 2.1.2., 2.1.3, and 2.1.4 and should be removed from this section and relocated in another section or sections that describe management methods. Section 2.2 Generally, this applicability section is too extensive. Can not find 2.8 exceptions in rules. ~ a) Why four or more lots? This excludes most ofthe unplanned large lot development in suburban and rural areas. b) Non-residential commercial development typically have 60 - 70 percent impervious surface. Five percent of impervious surface would be 2,000 square feet of an acre site. All commercial development would require BCWD review. c) This would be difficult to implement based on the definition of redevelopment. What if all redevelopment is internal remodeling or does not increase.impervious surface. Why review? How determined? d) This will be difficult to control. The City of Stillwater does not require paving permits. e) As above, this would be difficult to control. Public street and utility projects should be exempt from regulations. As previously discussed in the general comments, the City of Stillwater has already developed an entire storm water management plan for its expansion area. The level of engineering and planning involved in the City process is unique to the watershed and needs to be accepted and endorsed by the Watershed District. Section 2.3 The BCWD should review and comment on development plans when being reviewed by local government so that BCWD review does not surprise the applicant and result in development review delays. Because the rules set standards that are not practical or "feasibly" achievable regarding infiltration or other innovate state of the science on-site methods of retention, it may be difficult ~ Section 2.4d and Appendix 2.3 The proposed wetland susceptibility chart is a good guideline for planning, but should not be used for regulation. Wetland bounce must also be balanced with other habitat impacts and land use planning. The Wetland Conservation Act states that one purpose of wetlands is storm water retention and allows for changes in the periodic inundation. In this case, the Wetlands Conservation Act is sufficient and no additional regulations are necessary. Section 2.5.4. Appendix 2.5 was not included and therefore it was not possible to comment on this proposed rule. ~ Section 2.5.5. Since infiltration, basin design is subject to decreasing efficiency over time (even when properly maintained), municipalities would be put in a precarious position were they to accept responsibility for ongoing maintenance and guarantees of operational efficiency. This section is in essence a mandate on municipalities as there are no effective guaranteed methods of insuring property owner compliance. Under most conditions, municipalities will be the ultimate responsible party for maintenance of storm water systems. In this case, as this is a District requirement, the District should take responsibility for insuring the proper operation and maintenance of these facilities. In addition, it is quite probable that regional infiltration facilities will be more effective for treatment and more efficient in use of land. Regional facilities may also allow for better use of highly permeable land for infiltration areas. Since regional facilities might be associated with more than one landowner or developer and could often be "off-site" facilities it would be necessary to have a public body insure that the facilities are maintained and operational. This again points to the possibility of District responsibility. Section 2.6.8 This section discusses runoff volume analysis for the 1.5-Year Critical Event under existing and proposed additions. This appears to be at odds with Rule 2.4b, which states 1.5 year 24 hour event. Section 2.7.4. It appears that the City of Stillwater Mitigation Plan meets Condition A of this section. ~ Appendix 2.1 Item 4 that suggests natural depressions be used for runoff storage and infiltration appears to be in conflict with Appendix 2.3 that discusses permitted bounce. ~ Natural depressions are often times seasonally flooded wetlands, which do not allow for any additional bounce under Appendix 2.3. In general, it does not appear that the District is the appropriate agency to set planning and engineering standards for development and utility design. The list provided in Appendix 2.1 has an excellent list oftargets or guidelines, but many are inappropriate as regulations since most are very subjective. Section 3.1 It is good policy to require an erosion control plan for all land development activities. Given that there are already permit requirements at the state and local level, the need for yet another level of government review of erosion control plans seems excessive. Section 3.2 Under the proposed regulation any party moving more than 50 cubic yards (approximately 3-4 large dump trucks) or removing vegetative cover on 1,000 square feet (the size of a moderate garden), it is required to submit an erosion control plan prepared by a "qualified individual" and proceed through an 88-day review period. If the District is prepared to provide all ofthe consultant and staff time necessary to process and review the numerous permits that will fall within these parameters, perhaps local governments would be willing to discuss ways of streamlining the process and sharing responsibility. ~ One possibility: Local governments discontinue erosion review and pass this task to the Watershed District. Section 4.4.4 How will BCWD regulate tree cutting? Size, location, type, condition of tree. How will vegetation clearing fires in buffer zone be regulated. The district is taking on a tremendous burden of enforcement in buffer areas. Maybe better to coordinate with local governments (City of Stillwater is adopting a buffer ordinance). Section 4.44e The Wetland Conservation Act allows for utilities in wetlands. It is the local government responsibility to determine if it is "feasible" to put utilities in a wetland or in buffers. 4.71 It is the local government's responsibility to determine what is "feasible." From a practical view, typically the additional cost associated with working in wetlands or questionable soil results in roads and utilities being designed to minimize impact on wetlands and buffers. Other Comments. How do the proposed rules effect City expansion area development in the Phase I, III, III and IV . areas? For Phase I, overall concept PUD and preliminary plats have been approved along with Phase I final plats. Utility plans for the entire phase I area have been approved and some facilities constructed. Will the regulations apply to future final PUD and plat approvals? . ~ . The application of these regulations to approved and planned development in the City is critical. Major comprehensive plan and property rights issues are raised by the adoption and application of the proposed rules. . . . BROWN'S CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT STATEMENT OF NEED AND REASONABLENESS PROPOSED RULES OF THE WATERSHED DISTRICT November 6, 1998 The purpose of this document is to summarize the proposed Rules of the Brown's Creek Watershed District ("BCWD"), and to set forth the need for and reasonableness of these rules. The BCWD was established by order of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources on October 22, 1997. The total area within the Brown's Creek Watershed is 28.3 square miles, which includes all or part of the municipalities of the City of Stillwater, Stillwater Township, May Township, the City of Hugo, the City of Grant, the City of Oak. Park Heights, the City of Lake Elmo, and Baytown Township. The BCWD was granted all of the powers, authority, and duties provided by law. The Minnesota Watershed District Act generally provides for the creation of waters~ed districts "to conserve the natural resources of the State by land use planning, flood control, and other conservation projects by using sound scientific principles for the protection of the public health and welfare and the provident use of the natural resources." Minn. Stat. g 103D.201, subd. 1. All watershed districts in Minnesota must adopt rules to accomplish the purposes of the Watershed District Act and to implement the powers of the watershed district managers. Minn. Stat. g 103D.341. The proposed BCWD Rules are intended to implement the basic policies established in the District's first generation Watershed Management Plan. The proposed Rules regulate land use and water resource activities through a permitting program, and are intended to provide notice and general guidance to the public about the substantive criteria that the Board of Managers will utilize in determining whether and under what terms to grant a permit for these regulated activities. The proposed Rules also provide guidance on the procedures to be used for permit applicants and the enforcement of permit terms and conditions. The BCWD has developed these revisions in a process that has included regular meetings of a technical advisory committee consisting of BCWD managers and staff, representatives of municipalities within the district, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, the Department of Natural Resources, the Metropolitan Council, development interests, trout protection interests and consulting hydrological engineers. A more detailed explanation of the proposed Rules follows. 1.0 Procedural Requirements. Proposed Rule 1.0 sets forth the general procedures which persons must follow in applying for a permit to the District. All permit applications must be signed by the property owner. Permit application forms are available at the District Office. The BCWD affirms that the fundamental land use and zoning policies are established by municipalities. Accordingly, the BCwn Managers will only review permit applications BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6,1998 1 involving land development after the municipality has provided preliminary approval of the proposed project. In this way, the District will not undertake the evaluation of the water . resources impacts from the proposed project until it is determined by the municipali!y that the proposed project is consistent with the municipality's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances. The District seeks to obtain all necessary public input concerning permit applications. Accordingly, the permit applicant must assist the District in notifying all property owners who reside within 600 feet of a proposed project. In order to allow adequate time for proper staff and technical review of permit applications, the Board of Managers will only consider permit applications which have been received at least 28 full days prior to the scheduled meeting date. The managers will act on permit applications within 60 days of receiving a complete application. 2.0 Stormwater Manae:ement. Background Storm water runoff from land development projects presents significant concern to the BCwn with respect to flood control, water quality protection, and thermal impacts. Roadway construction, increased pavement and other hard surfaces associated with land development, as well as agricultural practices, have meant increased problems from storm water runoff which must be managed and controlled to prevent downstream flooding. Stormwater runoff also collects phosphorus-laden sediments that drain into the lakes, wetlands, and streams of the . watershed, rather than filter through the ground. This "non-point" source of pollution, . . .. ... stormwater, is the leading source of water pollution in the United States. The BCwn Water Resources Plan identifies flooding and surface water quality as two main existing and potential problems within the watershed. Regarding flooding, the Plan states: "The potential for flooding does exist in all portions of the watershed, with the most significant threat existing in the morainic topography of the western and northern areas. The potential threat exists because the current system of planning does not fully take into account the fluctuating water levels of lakes, ponds, and wetlands (which have no existing outlets) with respect to localized development and road construction." BCwn Plan at pp. 29-30. The Plan also notes that non-point sources of storm water runoff from agricultural and urban lands are major contributors to pollution of area lakes and streams. Id. at p. 30. While many of the municipalities have adopted some form of flood control or stormwater management ordinances, none of the municipalities have the local water management planning process mandated by Minnesota Statutes 9 103.B.235. Rule 2.0 imposes requirements on the development of land within the watershed for the purpose of limiting the potential negative impact of development on stormwater flow rate and quality. In developing these revisions, the BCwn has reviewed the stormwater management ordinances of a number of cities, counties and watershed districts in other states. . BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6,1998 2 . Legal Authority The legal authority for watershed district adoption of storm water management rules derives from Minnesota Statutes chapters 103B and 1030. Under Minn. Stat. 51030.341, subd. 1, watershed districts must adopt rules "to accomplish the purposes of [the watershed act] and to implement the powers of the managers." These purposes include flood control, regulation of surface water flows, water quality protection, control of erosion and siltation of water courses, and groundwater protection. Id. at 5 1030201, subd. 2. ~istrict managers further are authorized to regulate and control the use of water within the watershed district and the use of streams, ditches and water courses to prevent pollution. Id. at 5 1030.335, subds. 10 and 16. Finally, watershed districts in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area are authorized to regulate the water resources impacts of land use and development where local government units have not adopted district-approved local water management plans. Minn. Stat. ~ 1030.335, subd. 23; ~ 103B.211, subd. 1. The Proposed Rule The purpose of the rule is to minimize the extent to which land development alters the pre-development runoff characteristics of the land, namely the peak flow rate, flow volume and runoff water quality. Under the rule, any person proposing to engage in "land-altering activity" above a specified threshold must submit, obtain BCWD approval of, and implement a stormwater management plan. . Applicability of the Rule "Land-altering activity" is defined as the creation of impervious surface. In determining the thresholds at which the creation of impervious surface becomes subject to the rule, the BCWD has considered both the amount and density of impervious surface that a particular activity would create and the engineering and cost burdens that the rule would impose in conjunction with that activity. Thus, residential subdivision and development are subject to the rule only when four or more lots are being created by subdivision or built on. Non-residential development on an undeveloped site is regulated if more than one acre or more than five percent of the site area is to be rendered impervious; if a site already is developed, any increase of 5,000 or more square feet of impervious surface requires compliance with the rule. If a site is undergoing substantial change so as to constitute "redevelopment" under the rule, and if the site is five acres or more, the BCWD presumes that site redesign opportunities and site area allow for the institution of measures to meet the requirements of the rule. Finally, any road, bikeway, sidewalk or other impervious linear surface of one acre or more is subject to these rules. These thresholds are comparable to those in the storm water ordinances of some thirty other jurisdictions that the BCWD has reviewed. Standards: Peak Flow, Volume and Water Quality . The development of land for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional or other uses, by altering stormwater flow patterns and degrading stormwater quality, can result in injury to downgradient land; to the stability of the bed and banks of downstream watercourses; to the quality of downstream waters and to the habitat they provide. Terrain alteration and the replacement of natural, vegetated cover with impervious surface such as roadway, rooftop, parking area or BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6. 1998 3 sidewalk has several effects of concern. It increases stormwater flow velocity; reduces the proportion of stormwater flow that infiltrates into the ground on site; and increases the transport of ~ both sediments and man-made pollutants-- oil and grease, antifreeze, deicing materials, metal and .. j rubber particles from motor vehicles, fertilizers and herbicides-- into downgradient surface waters. For those activities subject to the rule, stormwater management must be controlled in three respects to prevent harm from a change in surface flows: peak flow rate from the site, flow volume from the site and runoff quality. Control of peak flow is the most important means to prevent downstream flooding, limit sedimentation and protect the physical integrity of downstream watercourses. Fundamental to nearly all of the stormwater management ordinances the BCWD has reviewed is the requirement that development not increase peak flow from a site. Under the proposed rule, development may not cause an increase in the peak flow rate from the site during a 1.5-, 10- or 100-year storm of 24- hour duration. Further, the rule requires specific attention to the impact of peak storm water flow from a developed site on downstream lakes and wetlands. To ensure that short~term, storm-induced change in lake or wetland water level does not adversely affect the banks, vegetation or habitat of the water body, peak flow "bounce" for 1.5-, 10- and tOO-year storms is required to be limited to an amount ranging from zero to no limit, depending on the vulnerability of the lake or wetland class. Lake and wetland vulnerability classes are listed in an Appendix to the rule. Research has led to the generalized conclusion that coverage of ten percent or more impervious surface within a watershed degrades receiving waters, their beds, their banks and the habitat within them. Allowing for a margin of scientific uncertainty and the greater sensitivity of particular areas, the proposed rule permits flow volume increases associated with five percent impervious coverage of a site before flow volume management is required. The increase in flow a volume associated with five percent impervious coverage is calculated on the assumption that the .. permeability of the soil underlying the impervious surface is average for the site. Beyond this "five-percent" allowance, on-site infiltration must be used so that there is, as compared with the pre-development state, no increase in off-site flow volume for up to a 1.5-year storm of 24-hour duration. A limited exception to the rule is granted where on-site infiltration is used to the degree feasible but still does not secure compliance with the flow volume standard. In this case, off-site infiltration must be used to meet the flow volume standard, to the degree off-site treatment is feasible. Regulation of flow volume serves somewhat different purposes in landlocked and non- landlocked areas of the watershed. In landlocked areas, an increase in off-site flow caused by land alteration will create impacts on down-gradient water tables and land already experiencing problematically high water. In non-landlocked areas, flow volume is regulated as well to prevent injury to downstream owners. In addition, allowing stormwater that, in the pre-development state, infiltrated to groundwater to flow to Brown's Creek overland and by way of wetland, lake or other surface water increases the temperature of the stormwater as it discharges into the creek. Preserving the pre-development rate of on-site storm water infiltration (excepting the five-percent impermeability allowance), and thereby maintaining the pre-development proportion of ground- to surface water discharge to Brown's Creek and its tributaries, is critical to avoiding thermal impacts to the trout habitat of the creek. Storm water contains a variety of constituents deleterious to receIvmg waters. Phosphorus and nitrogen accelerate eutrophication of surface waters and increase surface algal scums, algal blooms, water discoloration and depressed oxygen levels. Stormwater carries heavy . BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6.1998 4 ~ metals, oils and grease from roads and parking lots 'and toxic organic compounds from herbicides, pesticides and wood preservatives. It carries fecal coliform that may impair recreational and harvesting uses of receiving waters and sediments that degrade aquati~ habitats. Development of a site increases the pollution threat to downgradient waters by: increasing the intensity of use, and thus in most cases the generation of pollutants, on the site; increasing the flow volume and thus overall pollutant loading from the site; and increasing peak flow rates, with a corresponding reduction in effectiveness of natural pollutant control mechanisms such as on-site infiltration to groundwater and vegetative' filtering. The proposed rule relies largely on control of peak flows and flow volume as a means to prevent an increase in stormwater pollutant concentrations from the pre-development state. In addition, the rule contemplates that certain site design practices that may have only a minor impact on peak flow or flow volume-such as the use of filter strips along receiving waters and drainage swales -- will be used to achieve compliance with the water quality standard of the rule. Phosphorus loading at the downgradient property boundary is restricted to the phosphorus concentration limit of the first receiving water (lake, stream or wetland) encountered, as that limit is specified in North American Lake Management Society. Total suspended solids, total nitrogen and heavy metals loadings must not increase from the pre-development state. Stormwater Management Preferences . The rule specifies an order of preference for the use of storm water management techniques. In accordance with the requirement to limit total flow volume from the site, an applicant first must apply site design practices and on-site infiltration to the degree feasible. Site design practices, which are enumerated in an Appendix to the rule and for which the BCWD intends to develop further guidance, are largely non-engineering approaches to the design and placement of development on a site in ways that preserve as much as possible the pre- development stormwater flow patterns and on-site rates of infiltration. Practices range from preserving drainage swales and filter strips and building on least-pervious soils to minimizing impervious surface by limiting driveway lengths, road widths and turnaround areas. Where existing zoning or subdivision ordinances do not allow for particular practices, an applicant must provide evidence that permission to implement those practices was reasonably sought. An applicant need not pursue an obviously futile special approval or variance process to its conclusion, but must at least submit documentation from the local government that the granting of an approval or variance would be substantially unlikely. The literature suggests that site design practices are the least expensive and can be the most effective storm water management methods. By imposing a regulatory preference for these practices, the rule intends both to foster their use and to encourage further development and innovation by both applicants and local governments. . To the degree that feasible site design practices do not alone suffice for compliance with peak flow, flow volume and stormwater quality standards, engineered on-site infiltration such as infiltration trenches and dry wells and off-site infiltration are specified. Only once all feasible means of preserving pre-development ground- to surface water proportions are exhausted may an applicant turn to above-ground means of detaining and treating storm water. Of these, wet detention in accordance with NURP (Nationwide Urban Runoff Program) design standards is preferred for its demonstrated effectiveness in both controlling peak flow and securing relatively substantial removal of phosphorus, suspended sediments and other pollutants from runoff. Nonetheless, the rule permits use of another method without first demonstrating the infeasibility BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6.1998 5 of NURP-specified wet detention where the applicant can demonstrate to the BCWD that the performance and reliability of the method are equivalent to that of a NURP facility. . In every case, an applicant must provide evidence that the legal rights have been or, before land-altering activity is commenced, will be secured for construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed facilities. For off-site facilities, this may include flowage or access easements; for on-site facilities, it may include the conveyance of easements to another party or the imposition of restrictive covenants on the property to ensure that the storm water management facilities, whether engineered or as features of the natural topography, continue to function as designed. The applicant also must submit for BCWD approval, and must record, a maintenance agreement establishing responsibility for maintenance of the stormwater management facilities. Treatment in a Regional Facility Finally, the rule allows for stormwater management in a regional facility in place of site- specific on- or off-site treatment. To qualify for regional treatment, one of two conditions must be met. First, the regional facility and its use for treatment of stormwater from the site in question are pursuant to and in accordance with a local water management plan approved by the BCWD. Or, second, the applicant demonstrates that on-site and off-site infiltration, used to the extent feasible, do not suffice to meet the flow volume standard of the rule and the BCWD finds in writing that the proposed method of management would meet peak flow, water quality and bounce standards. 3.0 Erosion Control. Sediments smother fish larvae and eggs and clog fish gills; turbidity reduces light penetration of water, hinders sight-feeding fish and increases the cost of providing drinking water. Sedimentation reduces water quality for recreational uses, lowers the value of adjoining lands, and increases public costs to maintain waterways and storm water conveyances. Soil particles carry nutrients, trace metals and hydrocarbons into receiving waters and foster algae and weed growth. Runoff from construction sites is the largest source of sediments in urban areas undergoing development such as the watershed. Uncontrolled runoff from agricultural crop production also can contribute greatly to sedimentation problems. . In addition to the statutory authority to regulate storm water management, regulation of erosion and sedimentation is authorized by the specific watershed district purpose "to control or elevate soil erosion and siltation of water courses or water basins." Minn. Stat. S 103D.201, subd. 2(10). Proposed Rule 3.0 requires all developers of land moving more than 50 cubic yards of earth or removing more than 1,000 square feet of vegetative cover to obtain an erosion control permit. The permit is issued on an applicant's submission of an erosion control plan setting forth measures to control erosion and sedimentation that conform to the practices and specifications contained in "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas," the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's 1989 manual setting forth best practices for managing non-point source pollution in the urban environment. The plan must include measures to permanently restabilize disturbed soils and a schedule by which the work will be accomplished. In addition, given the importance of groundwater recharge within the Brown's Creek Watershed and the potential impact of land alterations to the waters of Brown's Creek, land-altering activities within the ordinary high-water . BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6.1998 6 ~ boundaries of a groundwater recharge area are not permitted unless the applicant can demonstrate that the alterations will not adversely affect the recharge area. Agricultural activity is excepted from the requirements of the rule, provided that a natural vegetation buffer of 16 feet or the width of the shore impact zone, whichever is wider, is maintained along each watercourse. 4.0 Lake. Stream and Wetland Buffers Background A vegetative buffer adjacent to a stream, lake or wetland serves a number of purposes critical to the protection of that water resource and, indeed, properly is considered an integral part of it. Buffers moderate flow rates of stormwater runoff into receiving waters, stabilize banks and shorelines, filter nutrients and sediments from runoff, provide habitat and visually screen aesthetically unappealing uses. A critically important function of vegetative buffer, particularly with respect to Brown's creek and its tributaries, is its role in regulating stream temperatures and, therefore, maintaining the resource as a trout habitat. Buffer width is the most important determinant of buffer effectiveness; soils, slope and the types and condition of plant communities within the buffer also are relevant to buffer function. . Rule 4.0 requires the maintenance of vegetated buffer strips along streams, recreational development and natural environment lakes, and public waters wetlands (as that term is defined at Minn. Stat. 1 03G.00S) within the watershed for the purpose of protecting the function and integrity of these water resources. Legal Authority The legal authority for watershed district adoption of stream, lake and wetland buffer rules derives from Minnesota Statutes chapters 103B and 103D. Under Minn. Stat. 11030.341, subd. I, watershed districts must adopt rules "to accomplish the purposes of [the watershed act] and to implement the powers of the managers." These purposes include conservation of water for public uses, controlling erosion and siltation of lakes, streams and wetlands; protecting water quality in these bodies; and other related purposes. Id. at S 103D201, subd. 2. District managers further are authorized to regulate and control the use of water within the watershed district and regulate the use of streams, ditches and water courses to prevent pollution. Id. at S 103D.335, subds. 10 and 16. Finally, watershed districts in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area are authorized to regulate the water resources impacts of land. use and development where local government units have not adopted district-approved local water management plans. Minn. Stat. ~ 103D.335, subd. 23; ~ 103B.211, subd. 1. The Proposed Rule . The purpose of the rule is to preserve natural vegetation bordering the bed and banks of streams, recreational development and natural environment lakes, and public waters wetlands in order to maintain the ecological functions of and societal benefits deriving from these water resources. Vegetated buffer zones of specified widths are established and disturbance of the vegetation within those zones is restricted. The District has sought to develop a rule that protects BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6,1998 7 the valuable water resources of the watershed without placing undue burdens on affected landowners. ~ Addressing Gaps in Water Resource Protection Under Minnesota Statutes IS 103F.201 to 103F.221, Washington County and the City of Stillwater, pursuant to a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources model ordinance, have adopted DNR-approved shoreland ordinances that regulate building lot sizes, the placement of structures and sewage disposal systems, and other land uses within the shorelands of public waters-defined as within 1000 feet of the ordinary high water mark of a lake, pond or flowage and within 300 feet of the ordinary high water of a river, stream or floodplain. While these ordinances have the effect of securing certain protections for riparian and littoral areas, they are not explicitly directed toward protection of vegetative. buffers for the benefits those buffers provide. The District has examined these local ordinances carefully for two purposes. First, the District wishes to avoid duplication of local shoreland ordinances. Thus, the proposed rule does not expressly restrict the placement of structures, decks and sewage treatment systems, subjects that are the focus of local ordinances. Similarly, local ordinances regulate agricultural and silvicultural activities within buffer areas in a manner that does not necessitate further express treatment by the District. Secondly, the District seeks to address gaps in the protection of buffer vegetation resulting from the . fact that shore land ordinances are not specifically directed to buffer protection. Most broadly, although the County ordinance applies to lakes, streams and wetlands, the Stillwater ordinance does not expressly apply to public waters wetlands. The District's . proposed rule applies to streams, to recreational development and natural environment lakes, and to all public waters wetlands within the watershed. Further, in contrast to the County and municipal ordinances, the District's rules extend the specified protected area to include steep slopes, the 100-year floodplain, and DNR-mapped natural communities associated with a water resource. With regard to restrictions on activities within buffer zones, the rule regulates specifically to protect vegetative cover. Thus, it places restrictions on impervious cover, excavation, the placement of fill or other materials, vegetative alteration, and the use of pesticides or phosphorus-containing fertilizers within designated zones. As well, although it recognizes the necessity for roads, paths and utilities to intrude into buffer zones--either in crossing the associated water resource or to give access to water-related uses- it places reasonable bounds on the scope of these exceptions from the general rule. Buffer Zone Framework The rule rests on a framework consisting of the designated protected zones. With respect to Brown's Creek and its tributaries, the buffer has three elements: a streamside, a middle and an outer zone. The streamside zone, extending 25 feet from the ordinary high water mark of the water body, protects the physical and ecological integrity of the stream ecosystem. The middle zone, 50 feet in width, protects key stream components and provides a further separation between upland development and the stream. Activities are highly restricted in these zones to protect mature riparian forest and vegetation that can provide shade, leaf litter, woody debris and erosion protection for the stream. No impervious cover is permitted; . BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6.1998 8 ~ pesticides and phosphorus-containing fertilizers may not be used; and neither terrain nor vegetation may be altered except to remove invasive or diseased species or, in the middle zone, to remove trees less than six inches in diameter at a point two feet above the ground. Revegetation with native species is encouraged and is not within the prohibition or the rule. Roads and utilities, whether crossing the stream or providing access to a lawful water-related use, are restricted to the minimal necessary disturbance of the vegetative buffer and subjectto Rule 3.0 of these rules with respect to temporary erosion control during construction. All roads and paths within these zones providing access to water-related uses must be pervious. The outer zone extends from the middle zone to the upland edge of the structure setback under the applicable local shoreland ordinance. The District believes that the setbacks provided for under local ordinances are adequate for stream protection and that consistency between the District rule and the local ordinance is beneficial to those subject to regulation. This zone is, in essence, a buffer of the buffer. Impervious surface is not permitted within the outer zone, including impervious roads and utility-related structures, except pursuant to a stream crossing. The District contemplates that residential backyard will comprise much of the outer zone of Brown's Creek and tributaries; turf, lawn and similar cultivation is permitted, as is the typical use of fertilizers, herbicides and other preparations. Although maintenance and restoration of native cover are encouraged, no restrictions on vegetative disturbance within this zone are imposed by the rule. Excavation and filling activity may occur within the zone, provided there is compliance with the erosion control requirements of Rule 3.0 ofthese rules. . Wetland buffer widths recommended by the Natural Resource Conservation Service are from 100 to 200 feet for high quality wetlands (Interim Conservation Practice Standard for CRP, Code 393, NRCS, 1996). A review of requirements in other states suggests 100 feet to be a minimum for high-quality, sensitive wetlands. While the appropriate buffer width depends on site-specific conditions such as slope, soils, vegetative composition and adjacent land uses, it is clearly infeasible to determine width on a site-by-site basis. As a reasonable means of differentiation, however, the rule groups lakes and wetlands by susceptibility class on the basis of plant community type, resource sensitivity and quality. Lakes and wetlands are protected by a single buffer zone of a width that ranges from 25 to 100 feet, depending on the susceptibility class (these same classifications are used in Rule 2.0 of these rules for regulating stormwater peak flows). Restrictions within a wetland or lake buffer zone are the same as those within a streamside zone. Exceptions Several general exceptions to these prohibitions are specified. Most significantly, the buffer zone requirements apply only to property that is subject to a use for which subdivision, landowner-initiated rezoning, a special use permit or a variance was required on or after the date of adoption of this rule. (The fact that a property lies within an area that has been subject to general rezoning by the local government unit would not trigger the application of the requirements.) The purpose of this limitation is two-fold. . o First, it seeks to avoid inordinate injury to the settled uses and expectations of numerous residential landowners located along the banks and shorelines subject to the rule. By imposing these requirements in conjunction with property development and the public processes that accompany it, the MCWD will allow for landowners to become BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6.1998 9 fully aware of the requirements and incorporate them into their plans for use of their properties. ~ o Secondly, broad application of the requirement to the many residential and other properties within the watershed that border on streams, lakes and wetlands would raise substantial practical issues with respect to enforcement, including potentially substantial issues of entry onto residential lands for compliance monitoring and violation inspections; problems in documenting the pre-existing condition of properties and the occurrence of acts in violation of the rule; and the sheer number of properties that would become subject to the rule. The rule is drafted with the intent of directing limited District resources to the most important threats to the ecological health of the watershed. Also importantly, any impervious surface, road or utility in existence on the date of the rule's adoption, and its maintenance within existing dimensions, are excepted from the operation of the rule. Other exceptions are as follows: o As indicated, a road or utility may be located within a buffer zone in conjunction with a water crossing. Impervious surface and vegetative cover disturbance shall be limited to that necessary for the crossing. Structures associated with the road or utility shall not be located within the zone unless no feasible alternative exists. o Access to a lawful private or public use of the water resource may be created and maintained. Access surfaces must be pervious and vegetative disturbance must be limited to that needed in light of the nature and extent of the permitted use. . o Subject to specified conditions, fill or debris may be placed within a streamside, middle or lake or wetland buffer zone pursuant to lawful work in the associated water resource. o Pervious footpaths are permitted within all buffer zones. o Outlet, flood control and storm water treatment facilities may be located within any buffer zone when approved under section 2.0 of the rules. o A project to stabilize a shoreline or bank regulated under section 4.0 of the rules is required to comply with erosion control requirements of the rule (sections 3.0 and 4.9.7.1) but otherwise is excepted from the rule's prohibitions. 5.0 Shoreline and Stream Bank Alterations. Another source of erosion is the improper installation of shoreline and stream bank improvements. Watershed districts are authorized to "regulate improvements by riparian property owners of the beds, banks, and shores of lakes, streams, and wetlands for preservation and beneficial public use." Minn. Stat. S 103D.201, subd. 2(11). Proposed Rule 5.0 requires that shoreline riprap installation conforms with generally accepted engineering principles to assure that the shoreline installation has the proper slope, . BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6,1998 10 ~ variable gradation of material, and minimizes encroachment into the lake bed. Proposed Rule 5.0 also provides that the applicant for a shoreline or stream bank improvement must post a bond or letter of credit to guarantee that the work is constructed in accordance with District requirements. 6.0 Stream and Lake Crossin!!s. In conjunction with the flood control and erosion protection concerns identified in the BCWD Water Management Plan, proposed Rule 6.0 reflects a policy of discouraging the placing of roads, highways or utilities within lake or stream beds. To obtain a permit to do so, an applicant must demonstrate that the project will provide a public benefit; that hydraulic and navigational capacities will be maintained; that water quality will not be adversely affected; and that the proposed crossing is the minimal-impact alternative. 7.0 Floodplain and Draina!!e Alterations. . Proposed Rule 7.0 addresses the flood control and drainage concerns reflected in the BCWD Water Management Plan by requiring a permit for any alteration or filling of land below the 100-year floodplain elevation of any wetland, any public water, or any water body within a landlocked subwatershed. As well, a permit is required before obstructing the natural flow of any surface water or artificially diverting that flow across downgradient land. To obtain a permit for floodplain fill or alteration, an applicant must demonstrate that the proposed activity will not decrease flood storage capacity within the floodplain. Installation of culverts or drainage tiles, as well as other surface water diversions and obstructions, will be permitted only on a finding that downstream landowners will not be adversely affected. 8.0 Fees. Proposed Rule 8.0 provides pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~ 1030.345, subd. 2, that the District's cost for inspection and analysis of project sites in conjunction with permit applications are assessed to the permit applicant. Pursuant to a statutory exemption, government agencies are exempt from these fees. 9.0 Performance Bonds or Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~ 1030.345, subd. 4, the Board of Managers may require a permit applicant to post a bond or other surety to assure performance by the applicant of the activities authorized by the terms of the permit. Proposed Rule 9.0 provides the form, conditions, and procedures for the posting of the surety bond. 10.0 Variances. ~ Proposed Rule 10.0 authorizes the Board of Managers to grant variances from its rules according to standard land use variance criteria. An applicant for a variance must demonstrate that because of circumstances unique to the property, the rule strictly applied would create a hardship and that granting of the variance would not violate the spirit or intent of the rules. The hardship may not be the result of the landowner's own actions and may not be merely economic in nature. BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6,1998 11 11.0 Enforcement. Proposed Rule 11.0 sets forth the enforcement powers of the BCWD pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~ 103D.545. The district is empowered to issue cease and desist orders for threats to water resources from flooding, soil erosion, sedimentation, water pollution or any other cause. Any violation of the BCWD rules, or of a permit, order or agreement under these rules, may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor. Finally, the BCWD may seek an order compelling abatement, restoration or other appropriate action. BCWD Proposed Rules SONAR November 6, 1998 12 ~ . .

BCWD Proposed Rues November 6, 1998 27 8.0 FEES 8.1 Policy Findings. The Board of Managers finds that: . 8.1.1 public awareness of and compliance with the permitting process will be served by a policy of not charging a permit application fee. By encouraging applicants to seek permits for potential projects, the public benefits by reduced inspection and enforcement costs; 8.1.2 it is in the public interest that certain projects, involving larger scale development or development in sensitive locations, be inspected and analyzed by District staff to provide the Board of Managers sufficient information to evaluate compliance with District rules and applicable law. The District's annual tax levy should not be used to pay such costs for these development projects; and 8.1.3 from time to time persons perform work requiring a permit from the District without a permit, and persons perform work in violation of an issued District permit. The costs of engineering inspection and analysis in such cases exceeds those costs where the applicant has complied with District requirements.

The Board of Managers may hear requests for variances from the literal provisions of these rules in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the property under consideration.

TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: Proposed amended Cable Commission JP Agreement DA: December 11, 1998 Discussion: . I am enclosing the latest revision of the Central St. Croix Valley Joint Cable Communication Commission Joint and Cooperative Agreement. The revised agreement is the result of several meetings I have had with interested parties (i.e., Commission members, City Attorney Magnuson, Access Corporation members and the Administrators of the cities of Bayport and Oak Park Heights). The original agreement was entered into during the mid 80's as part of the local communities (Bayport, Oak Park Heights and Stillwater) efforts to administer a joint cable communications franchise. The revisions are bracketed. Perhaps the most significant revisions involve representation (page 2), attendance (page 4) and the restriction on lobbying activities (page 14). Sections 3 and 4 of Article III Definitions, has been changed to distinguish a primary representative from an alternate representative. This is not a major revision but the language gives some clarity to the language contained in Section VI Representatives. The revisions in Article III also include language that makes it clear that at least one of the primary representatives must be an elected official (as per Section 1 of Article VI). Section 3 of Article VI also provides that a "primary" representative would need to be replaced by the member municipality in the event the primary representative had four unexcused absences within a twelve-month period. Section 15e. of Article IX Additional Powers would prohibit lobbying activities unless approved by the Commission. I personally believe that this language is unnecessary. There are many rules, procedures, etc. that the Commission can and will establish in the course of business that will not be written into the JP agreement. Therefore, it seems somewhat superfluous to include this language in the agreement. On the other hand, I don't think that this is an issue that should cause any significant problems and I would recommend that the provision be accepted. . . The only other change worthy of note is the changes to Article X Financial Matters. The changes involve elimination of language that was necessary during the "start up" of the first franchise period. The new language is appropriate for the budget process related to the franchise renewal period (Note: The language that appears at the end of Section 3, Article X, page 16, was inadvertently omitted from the document we received from the Commission so we typed in the missing language). The changes to the agreement are bracketed. City Attorney Magnuson and I will be prepared to discuss this further with you at the meeting Tuesday. Finally, the Council had previously scheduled a workshop on the JP agreement and other issues related to the Joint Cable Commission and agreement, the Access Corporation and the re-franchising ofthe cable system. The workshop was canceled and I do not believe it is necessary to conduct a workshop on the JP agreement amendments that will be before you on Tuesday. However, I think it would be beneficial to have the City's representatives at a future meeting to update the Council on these issues. I can discuss this with Council at the meeting Tuesday.

The William Sauntry Mansion has been licensed as a Bed and Breakfast since 1990. In April, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Stillwater approved our petition to convert an existing studio apartment in the mansion into a sixth Bed and Breakfast unit. This area on the first floor rear of the house was historically a lodging unit for the butler, and subsequently a rental apartment continuously through 1996. Remodeling of the area for the sake of safety was in order after all those years. It was the view of all concerned - owners, neighbors, and the commission - that a B & B unit was a more desirable use than a rental apartment. Safety was enhanced by removal of a kitchen, and we could much better manage the use of the space as a B&B unit. We worked closely with the City of Stillwater Building Department from the outset. The conversion was judged to pose no additional hazard to guests housed in the already permitted units, in that the area is on the first floor with ample exits of its own to outdoors. The Building Department determined that our proposal conformed to state codes in that all parts of our home committed to Bed and Breakfast use are confined to the first and second floors (R-1 Hotel classification). The partial third floor in the front of the house which the owners use for their bedroom and bath remains R-3 Residential. On October 22, 1998, we were visited by an inspector from the State Fire Marshall Division. The inspector determined that we are now required to install a fire sprinkler system throughout the entire facility, provide one-hour fire separation or sprinkler for the basement where the heating boiler is located, and a fire alann system thoroughout the house. This stemmed from their differing interpretation of the fire code that since the building is three stories in height, it is classified in its entirety as a "hotel" (R-I), even those portions reserved for the owners residence. Over the past few weeks, we, Mr. Zeppcr of the Building Department, and Chief Kallestad have had multiple conversations with officials of the Fire Marshall Division and have written letters in an effort to help them understand the city's interpretation of the code, all to no avail. The only avenue of appeal they will accept is for us to request a variance from tlle fire code under a procedure established under Statute 299F.011, Subdivision 5. That procedure begins with soliciting the endorsement of that variance request from "the local gov~rning body". . We are frustrated at the circumstances we have been placed in, and truly regret imposing upon your time with this matter, but sincerely and respectfully ask your endorsement of our variance request to the Fire Marshall Division at this time. Specific Issues ; In requesting a variance we are required to show that A There is substantial compliance with the provisions of the fire code. B. The safety of the public and building occupants will not be jeopardized. C. Undue hardship will result to the requesting party unless the variance is granted. . We believe our request meets those requirements in each point. A Substantial Compliance At the direction of the city Building Department, additional fire resistive materials and measures were used in remodeling the new unit. All work was done to code and approved by the appropriate local and state inspectors. In addition, we used the opportunity to bring new electrical service to two additional guest rooms. Since purchasing the inn in 1996, we have made other extensive electrical upgrades throughout the house for increased safety. Inter-connected permanently-wired smoke detectors with battery backup have been installed on all levels of the house including the basement to notifY all occupants of a problem anywhere on the premises so that they can exit safely. In 1996-97, we undertook a $10,000 renovation of the boiler, including redundant low-water cutoff and pressure relief valves to ensure its safe operation. All wood-burning fireplaces in guest rooms have been replaced with new sealed natural gas units. We also have dealt with all the remaining minor items cited in the October 22 inspection. Our issue is only with the requirements for sprinklers and alanus which we do not believe should apply and with which it is impossible for us to comply financially or practically. B. Safety of Occupants. As already noted, guests in the additional room have their own exit to the outside. The presence of the additional room poses no additional hazard to guests in the previously pennitted rooms. These guests have two exits available at opposite ends of the hallway. The owners also have two means of exit available from the third floor. C. Undue Hardship. Since approval by the Planning Commission in April, we have invested over $25,000 in renovation costs to bring this unit on line. The William Sauntry Mansion is the only B & B in Stillwater listed on The National Register of Historic Places, which prevents alterations to its exterior which might make other configurations of guests rooms or owner's spaces possible. The house is filled with interior surfaces and fixtures of significant historical importance, including century-old wall coverings, painted ceilings, parquet flooring, and architectural woodwork. . Retrofitting sprinklers and alarms without damaging historically significant surfaces in the home is practically impossible. The expense of doing so on top of the costs already incurred is more than the business can ever hope to recoup at its current level. Further expansion of the business with additional guests rooms is not an option in our home nor permitted under the city ordinance. The space we renovated is now no longer suitable as a rental apartment without a kitchen; I shudder even at the contemplation of the approval process required for putting a kitchen back in. If the sprinkler and alarm system requirement stands, our only option is to close down an existing guest room, essentially voiding our investment,' enduring loss of revenue, and lowering the value of our property. In short, as the saying goes, we find ourselves "between a rock and a hard place", and I truly believe this is through nobody's negligence or fault. Rather, it is the result simply of an honest difference regarding interpretation of some ambiguous language in tlle code which speaks to "hotels" of three or more stories. Again, we respectfully request your endorsement of our variance request to the State Fire Marshall. We regret having to take your time with this matter, and thank you in advance for our co~eration and, hopefully, support of our appeal in this very frustrating matter. / ~ /, I . J 'I . {!~ e.c/~ .

One example is the Rivertown Inn 8 & 8 on Oliv Street which has 8 system instal1ed because the sixth unit Is on the second ff or of a three-story 8 & B. Another example is the James A Mulvey lnn on ( hurchill Street. This B 8. B has six units. two of which are located in a caniaQ! house that is a separate structure from the main building. Since there are not si)units in anyone structure a fire suppression system is not required. : My interpretation of the requirements in regards to the Saufitry Mana on was made based upon the 1994 U.B.C., Section 904.2.8. In this structure, ere are only two floors used for the R-1 occupancy. The rest of the structure is C 8sified as an R-3. Additionally the sixth unit has its own two exits, which are not sed by the rest of the B & B. Also, the adjoining walls and ceiling are construe: ad with two layers of 5/8" Type-X Fire Rock creating a one-hour separation from: he rest of the building.

Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members Kim A Kallestad, Fire Chief X f From: Through: Nile Kriesel, City Coordinator Da~e: December 14, 1998 Subject: William Sauntry Mansion Variance Request Recommendation: Endorse the Variance. Request The request is for the Stillwater City Council to endorse a variance request to the Minnesota State Fire Marshal for an automatic fire sprinkler system and automatic fire alarm system. Background . The William Sauntry Mansion received city approval in April, 1998 to change the use of an apartment dwelling unit to a sixth guest room for their Bed & Breakfast. By building code definition, a sixth guest room changes this business to a hotel, R-1 occupancy classification. Al Zepper, City Building Official, in consultation with a state building code official, did not require a fire sprinkler system or fire alarm system for the modifications of the building and change in use. The building has single station battery operated smoke detectors in guest rooms, and inter-connected 120 volt smoke detectors with battery backup in the hallways on all levels of the house. This type of inter-connected system is frequently approved as a substitute for an automatic fire alarm system in this type and size of occupancy, as it can be argued that it provides relatively equivalent protection at considerably less cost. Fire sprinklers are required by code in hotels (R-1) three stories or more in height. A fire sprinkler system was not required in the Sauntry Mansion at the time it became a hotel (by building code definition) based on an interpretation of code language that classifies the building as a two-story hotel (R-1) with a private residence for the owners (R-3) on the third floor. . The State Fire Marshal's office has since inspected the building, as it does all hotels in the city, and has written orders requiring installation of a fire sprinkler system. That office has classi tied the building as a three-story hotel (R-1), thus requiring the fire sprinkler system. Code language is sometimes ambiguous, especially when trying to apply it to structures over 100 years old. No fire separation is required between R-l and R-3 occupancies, thus supporting the first interpretation. The reverse argument states that mixed-occupancy buildings are commonly classified in total by the primary use, thus supporting the second interpretation. Variance Requirements 1. Substantial compliance with the fire code. Numerous improvements have been made to the building regarding life safety. The building complied with all building codes and received approval from building officials. 2. Safetv of the public and occupants ofthe building. Although "fire safety" is a relative term, and possibilities always exist to improve fire safety, those possibilities are not always practical or cost effective. A reasonable level offire safety exists in this building. (See the summary.) 3. Undue hardship for the requesting party if the variance is not granted. Clearly, an undue hardship for the owners exists if the variance is not granted. (See the summary.) Summary Art and Elaine Halbardier, Sauntry Mansion owners, went through proper channels and procedures to obtain permission to renovate an apartment unit into a guest room. Based on information from local and state building officials, the owners proceeded with the renovation, at considerable expense. The renovation arguably improved fire safety in the building by providing a one-hour rated separation between the sixth room and the rest of the building, by removing a kitchen and associated cooking, and theoretically giving the owners more "control" over use by guests than by monthly renters. Additional fire safety measures include boiler renovation and safety systems, electrical improvements, and gas-fired inserts installed in every guest room fireplace. The building is safer now than it was before the renovation. If the owners knew that fire sprinklers and a fire alarm system would be required because the apartment was changed into a guest room, I am convinced they would not have proceeded with the renovation. The building would not have received some of the fire safety improvements it did. The owners made business decisions based on one interpretation of ambiguous code language, received approvals, and proceeded with costly renovations, foregoing apartment rent revenue. It is unfair for government to now force the owners to choose between installing this extra fire protection equipment and closing a guest room, thereby losing revenues. No one can guarantee that fires will not occur and that people will never be injured, but given the circumstances, a variance to the State Fire Marshal's orders in this case is appropriate. I recommend Council's endorsement of the variance. . . . .. Memorandum . December 10, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Klayton H. Eckles City Engineer \L~ SUBJECT: Purchase of a 1 Ton, 4 Wheel Drive Plow Truck DISCUSSION: The 1998 budget included money for a one ton truck as well as money for two pickup trucks. When the new sewer vactor truck was purchased, there was a short fall of approximately $30,000. Expending the additional Capital Outlay in the Sewer Fund set aside for the one ton truck compensated this. An additional one ton truck with plowing capabilities is something we could use immediately. Staff is proposing that Council authorize the purchase of a one ton truck using the Capital Outlay set aside for the purchase of two pickup trucks for Public Works. The proposed pickup trucks to be replaced are old and in need of replacement, but this could be put off for a short time. . Attached are quotations from Harold Chevrolet that shows the chassis of a one ton pickup can be purchased for $21,833.00, plus tax and license. This vehicle has been discounted due to some hail damage and the price is significantly less than the price of some of the State Cooperative Purchasing options. For comparison listed below are some prices from the State's Cooperative Purchasing Venture: TYPE GVW PRICE Ford 4X4 10,500 $22,410 Ford 4X4 15,000 $26,300 GMC 4X4 12,000 $22,033 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of a one ton, four wheel drive truck from Harold Chevrolet for a price of$21,833.00, plus tax and license. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with staff recommendation, Council should pass a motion adopting a resolution authorizing the purchase of a GMC one ton, 4X4 plow truck. . 1 Prepared for: NOV.23.1998 5:29PM NO.219 HAROLD CHEVROLET P.3 Prepared by: OARRIN BESSE C H E V R 0 LET Vehicle Detailed CODE CK31003 IBM 1SZ R9A ZWg ROS FE9 C7L L29 MT1 GT5 G8e F44 VYU F60 NZZ F61 V10 T~ MODEL 1998 4WO ~egular Cab Chassis Cab, 135.5~ we MSRP 23,452.00 DECOR & PACKAGES Preferred Equipment Group 1SM Preferred Equipment Group Dhicount Tire Weight Tax - Model Cheyenne Decor Convenience Package (Reqs PEG 15M) Incls: C60 Air Conditioning ZQ3 Tilt and CNise UM6 Radio w/Cassette NlC (500.00) NJe NlC 1,337.00 DRIVELINE Chassis Cab Body Code Dual ~eilr Wheels (/ilIA YHH or YGK Tires) Federal Emission Requirements 12,000 Jes GVWR (Incls F44 Cha~sie) Vortec 7400 SFI va 4-Speed Automatic W/OD, HD ElectrOl'1icelly Controlled 4.10 Rear Axle ~atio (Incls Engine Oil Cooler) Locking Differential (lnol w/HC4 on C-K30S03) Heavy-Outy Chassis Equipment (Avail on 11000 G\IW Only) Snow Plow Prep Package (K3500 Only) (Incls F6D Front Springs) Heavy Outy Front Springs (K3500 Only) (Inel wNYU Pkg) SKid Plate Package (K3500 Only) (Incls Fuel Tanl<, Front Oifferential and Transfer Case Shields) Rear Stabilizer Shaft (N/A C-K30S03) Cold Climate Package (lnch;Eng Block Heater) (Reqs Base Decor wIOiesel Eng) H~avy Outy AuxHiary Battery (N/A Diesel Engine) N/C N/C Nle NlC 600,00 970.00 N/C 252.00 N/C 116.00 N/C 95.00 59.00 33.00 134,00 Page 2 NOlJember 24. 199a a ;,' ..... . . .

CITY OF STILLWATER MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council ~ FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DATE: December 11, 1998 SUBJECT: Worker's Compensation Insurance and Liability Coverage BACKGROUND The City has received the Worker's Compensation notice of premium options for the year 1999. The City may select from several options that include regular premium, deductible options or retro-rated options. In the past, the City has selected the retro-rated option which varies depending upon the cities' losses. ANALYSIS Over the course ofthe years, the City has paid a slightly less total premium with this retro-rated option. The last adjustment was for one large claim and amounted to over $50,000. After discussing the Worker's Compensation issue with the City's insurance agent, the savings under the retro-rated options are not enough to select these options. CONCLUSION The types of claims and the amount of claims have been changing over the last years and the LMCIT has reduced the rates for coverage, also. The net deposit premium amount of $62,997 (based on estimated payroll) is a very reasonable fixed dollar amount for the City's Worker's Compensation Insurance. . RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the selection and approval of the regular premium option of $62,997 for the 1999 year. Also - the City Council must decide whether or not to waive the statutory liability limits. The City did NOT waive this limit last year and staff recommends same action for 1999 policy year.

LM 4503 (12;97) ~ ~emo DATE: December 15, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Nile Kriesel City Coordinator RE: Pay Equity Report . Backe:round As you know, the City of Stillwater's current job evaluation study was performed in the 1980's. Since that time there have been new job classes added and existing job classes have changed. For these reasons and because Minnesota State Statute states that job evaluation systems must be updated, the City has selected the Hay Management Consultants System. Previously, the City used the PDI point evaluation system. The Hay Consultants is widely accepted and is utilized by the State of Minnesota, many Minnesota political subdivisions, private industry, and is used throughout the country in both private industry and government jurisdictions. Minnesota State Statutes 471.994 states: "Every political subdivision shall use ajob evaluation system in order to determine the comparable work value of the work performed by each class if its employees. The system must be maintained and updated to account for new employee classes and any changes in factors affecting the comparable work value of existing classes. . ." The legislated factors which are to be included in any job evaluation system for determining the comparable work value of job classifications are: I. Skill; 2. Effort; 3. Responsibility; and, 4. Working Conditions. The factors that Hay Consultants uses to evaluate job classes correspond to the legislated factors. The Hay factors are: . 1. Know-How: The sum total of every kind of capability or skill, however acquired, needed for acceptable job performance. #. 2. Problem Sqlving (Mental effort): The original, self-starting use of know-how required by the job to identify, define, and resolve problems. Accountability: The answerability for action and for the consequences thereof. . Working Conditions: Jobs where hazards, and unpleasant environment and/or particular physical demands are significant elements. 3. 4. The City has taken the necessary steps of ensuring an accurate job exists for all current positions and received a point valuation for these positions. Attached is information concerning the process the City followed in using the Hay system. After receiving the initial point valuations, City staff had the opportunity to appeal the valuations. Based on those appeals, the final point valuation was determined. The final valuation is attached. Finally, the Junior Account Clerk position was replaced by the Receptionist/Clerk Typist classification. Therefore, the Council should eliminate the Junior Account Clerk Classification. Recommendation Council adopt resolution approving the use of Hay evaluation system and resultant point values and eliminate the Junior Account Clerk classification. f/~ . . . . .

The system must be maintained and updated to account for new employee classes and any changes in factors affecting the comparable work value of existing classes..." . The legislated factors which are to be included in any job evaluation system for determining the comparable work value of job classifications are: 1. Skill; 2. Effort; 3. Responsibility; and, 4. Working Conditions. The City of Stillwater's current job evaluation was performed in the 1980's. Since that time there have been new job classes added and existing job classes have changed. For these reasons and because the statute states that systems must be updated, the City is changing job evaluation systems and has selected the Hay Management Consultants System. The Hay Consultants system is widely accepted and is utilized by the State of Minnesota, many Minnesota political subdivisions, private industry, and is used throughout the country in both private industry and government jurisdictions. The factors that Hay Consultants uses to evaluate job classes correspond to the legislated factors. The Hay factors are: 1. Know-How: The sum total of every kind of capability or skill, however acquired, needed f0r acceptable job performance. . . . 'Problem Solving (Mental effort): The original, self-starting use of know-how required by the job to identify, define and resolve problems. Accountability: The answerability for action and for the consequences thereof. Working Conditions: Jobs where hazards, and unpleasant environment and/or particular physical demands are significant elements. A more in-depth description of the above factors is attached. Attached are the preliminary results of the job evaluation study. Employees should review these results and determine whether they wish to appeal the results for their job classification. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the employees Department Head by September 15, 1998. Attached is the process for requesting reconsideration of job classification points. ;.' v Components of Job Evaluatio" v .ci- measuring the "size" of jobs, job evaluation assumes fully acceptable performance by jobholdef3. Job content information, as documented in job descriptions, is evaluated in terms of four factors that are added together to form Total Points. The factors include: II The depth and breadth of work procedures and vocational/technical/professional knowledge and skills required of the job. . r ! Know-How-ille sum total of every kind of skill, however acquired, necessary for acceptable job performance. Tnis includes: II The managerial breadtli skills that are required for integrating and harmonizing different organizational units or functions. · The human relations skills required to directly interact on a pef3on-to-pef3on basis with othef3 in order to produce the desired results. Problem Solving-ille original "self-starting" thinking required by the job for analyzing, evaluating, creating, reasoning, arriving at and making conclusions. Tnis includes: III The organizational and procedural paramet.ef3 that guide or circumscnoe the focus of thinking and freedom to think on the job. II Tne variety, uniqueness, and complexity of problems faced by the job. A ceo un tability-ille responsibility for action and for the consequences thereof; the measured effect of the job on end results. This includes; iii The autonomy or discretion that a job has in taking action and the pef30nal or procedural controls that a job follows. .. The magnitude or impact that the job has on the County; what the job works with (or on) and its overall costlbenefit to the County. II The role the job has on impacting end results; whether the job has primary or shared responsibility for committing the County to action or a contnoutory or ancillary role in supporting such action. . . Working Conditions-the conditions ~derwhich work must be done. This includes; ,II Physical Effort-work requiring physical exertion. II Environment-exposure to objectionable or noxious conditions. II Hazards-exposure to factors involving risks of accident, pmonal injury, or pef30nal health. Tue following are l1.QJ. considered in evaluating your job: II Tne quality of your job performance II Your length of service II Your formal education or degree (unless also a job requirement) II How the job was evaluated in the past II The current rate of pay for the job ..

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: City Coordinator RE: Change in procedures for extending probationary periods DA: December 15, 1998 Discussion: Section 2-8 (attached) of the City's Policy and Procedures Manual/Personnel Policy provides that probationary periods may be extended by a Department Head for a period of time (not to exceed the time of the original probation period) "with the concurrence of the City Coordinator and_the City Council". I am requesting that the extension of a probationary period not require Council approval. This would allow a Department Head to extend the probationary period without having to bring the matter to a public forum. The change would be as follows: Employees, who in the opinion of the department head, have not satisfactorily completed the probationary period: A. May be terminated at any time prior to the completion of the probationary period with the concurrence of the City Coordinator and the approval of the City Council, or B. May have their probationary period extended for a period not to exceed the time of the original probation period with the concurrence of the City Coordinator. Terminations, as addressed in the policy, would require Council approval. Only the requirements for extending a probationary period would be changed. Recommendation: Council adopt resolution amending Policy and Procedures Manual, Section 2-8, by eliminating requirement of Council approval for extending probation~ periods. ~,J-t . Background Check: A. Candidates for police and certain finance positions may be photographed, fingerprinted and required to provide certain information for purpose of a routine background check. B. Any person who refuses to submit to such an examination may be rejected for employment. Psychological Examination: A. Applicants being considered for the position of full-time and/or part-time police officer shall take and successfully pass a psychological examination by a licensed psychologist approved by the City. The costs of such an examination shall be paid by the City. B. Any person who refuses to submit to such an examination may be rejected for employment. SECTION 2-7 SELECTION The administration of the selection process will be a cooperative effort between the City Coordinator and the department head. The department head,. through the City Coordinator, shall recommend in writing to the City Council, all appointments for the department. The City Council is the appOinting authority for the City. The City Council shall make appointments, transfers to new classification or promotions to new classifications, by adoption of a "Resolution of Employment" which shall state the employee's name, job classification, effective date of employment within the job classification, length of-probationary periOd and the salary/benefits to be received by the employee. It shall be the responsibility of the department head to supply the city clerk with the information to be contained in the "Resolution of Employment" for any employee assigned to his/her department. SECTION 2-8 PROBATIONARY PERIODS All newly hired employees will serve a twelve (12) month probationary period unless their respective labor agreement or employment agreement stipulates a different probationary period. The probationary period is designed to be a time for the department head to rate the employee's compatibility in the position and also for the employee to determine if the job is what he/She expected it would be. After successful completion of the probationary period, the immediate supervisor, with concurrence of the department head, will document the completion to the City Coordinator for the employee's personnel file. Employee Who, in the opinion of the department head and with the concurrence of the City Coordinator and City Council, have not satisfactorily completed the probation period: 2-4 ~ I ! I i I ," .,"-..... . ",;........ A. May be terminated at any time prior to the completion of the probation period, or B. May have their probation period extended for a period not to exceed the time of the original probation period. SECTION 2-9 RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS Although highly desirable, employees are not required to maintain residenc~ within the City limits. However, certain pUblic safety employees must reslde within a reasonable distance of the City as determined by the Public Safety Director. SECTION 2-1D APPOINTMENT AND PLACEMENT OF RELATIVES Relatives closer than second cousins by blood will not be employed on a full time basis in the same work group. Normally a work group will be defined as a department. In some instances a division or distinct and separate section within a division may be considered as a work group. Full-time employees will not be placed in a work group in which a relative will exercise supervision over the employee. All decisions on the definition of work groups and the definition of a relative in a supervisor - relative relationship will be made by the City Council. Wherever possible, the City Council shall avoid the appointment of a spouse or a relative of any City official. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any employee of the City who has been appointed prior to the adoption of this manual. 2-5 " DEC-11-1998 12:50 P.01/02 . 7:00 p.m. 1. 7 :05 p.m. II. 7:20 p.m. III. 7 :25 p.m. IV. . 7:30 p.m. V. 8:05 p.m. VI. .

The Census remains as important to allocating political power as it was when the Constitution was adopted. In fact, following Supreme Court cases on the principle of one person - one vote, the Census may be even more important. Now, besides determining how many Representatives your state will have in Congress, it goes a long way in determining how your state legisla- ture is districted and how voting zones in your city must be drawn. . Information from the Census is also important to local officials because it helps you learn where critical munici- pal facilities like schools and roads should be placed, as well as showing you where people live. The Census is also crucial in determining how much money cities receive through various federal and state programs. There are many challenges facing Census 2000 to assure that the fairest and most accurate population count is achieved. This booklet is designed to help local government officials prepare for the year 2000 Census. While the administration of the Census is clearly a Federal government responsibility, there are a few areas in which it is critical that cities be involved. These areas are: address list improvement, boundary and annexation surveys, and local publicity efforts, including the formation of local Complete Count Committees in order to reinforce a national paid adver- tising campaign planned by the Census Bureau. I hope this booklet will help you achieve a complete and accurate count in your community. Sincerely, Brian J. O'Neill President, National League of Cities Councilman, Philadelphia . ~ Q. Do WE KNOW HOW THE YEAR 2000 CEN- SUS WILL BE TAKEN? A. No, not exactly. Despite ongoing litigation and policy disputes, many aspects of the Census will proceed in the same manner as always, regardless of the methodology selected. Cities should not hesitate in getting involved now to ensure that their city is counted as accurately as possible. In fact, the current uncertainty about Census administra- tion makes active involvement by your city even more important than in the past. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, 'The Census will help those cities that help themselves. " The Census Bureau had been proceeding with plans to conduct the 2000 Census using statistical sampling techniques to compensate for non-response to the Census and account for the almost impossible and expensive-to-count "final 10 percent." The use of sam- pling was intended to address the persistent problem of "differential undercount" - the long-term problem of undercounting different groups within the population by different amounts. The U.S. House of Representatives and private parties filed lawsuits contending that federal law and the U.S. Constitutiqn prohibit the use of methods other than an actual headcount to take the Census. Lower courts have ruled that a federal statute prohibits any use of sam- pling in producing the counts used to proportionately allocate the fixed number of U.S. Representatives between states. The courts have not addressed the Constitutional claims. The issue has been appealed and the U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling on this ques- tion no later than June 15, 1999. Thus, the Census Bureau has been proceeding on what is called a "dual track" program. This means it has been preparing to conduct the 2000 Census using traditional Q. THEN WHAT TASKS CAN WE MOVE FORWARD ON? . Q. How DO I ENSURE THAT THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS AN ACCURATE MAILING LIST OF ALL THE RESIDENTIAL LOCA- TIONS IN MY CITY? methods of enumeration as well as preparing to use statistical sampling methods to supplement actual counts in the event the U.S. Supreme Court rules that statistical sampling can be used. A. The tasks fall into three basic categories: A. Under federal legislation passed in 1994, cities which agreed to keep the information confiden- tial can directly check the Census Bureau's address list by using local information. This process began when the Bureau mailed out an invitation to approximately 17,000 governments. About 10,4?O of these jurisdictions expressed interest in participating. Of those expressing interest, ;ome 8,500 governments have complet- ed the required confidentiality agreements. The Census Bureau is now (late 1998) in the midst of distributing the maps and lists required to check theie initial address lists. I. Make sure the Census Bureau has an accurate mail- ing list of all the residential addresses in your city. This list is used to mail out the Census survey. The Census is taken on a "mail-out/mail-back" basis, The Census Bureau has not attempted to knock on doors and visit everybody since 1960. II. Make sure the Census Bureau has an accurate record of your city's boundaries so that all your city's territory is counted as being in your city. Ill. Promote local completion of Census surveys through publicity and outreach, potentially includ- ing formation of a local Complete Count Committee. Following a review of address lists and additional input from Census Bureau personnel, the Bureau plans to provide cities with another list, reconcile the lists, and then provide for an appeal to the federal Office of Management and Budget if there are disagreements. Because this is the first time such a massive and detailed communication between the Census Bureau and cities has been attempted, the exact process and deadlines are in flux. The best current advice is to con. tact the Geography Division in your regional census office and get the latest on. time schedules and proce- dures from them. To find what regional office covers your city. access the Internet at http://www.census,gov/field/wwwl.

A. By definition. the Boundary and Annexation survey is designed to collect accurate informa- tion about the boundaries of cities and towns. This survey is of critical importance to cities because responding to it will help ensure that your city gets credit for all residents that live within your city limits. The next two annual surveys are particularly critical because they lead up to the 2000 census. The Census Bureau will not correct for boundaries that were not filed on a timely schedule. } ) BACKGROUND The Census Bureau annually mails out a Boundary and Annexation Survey to either: (I) the city official who responded to the previous year's Boundary and Annexation surveyor (z) the chief elected official of the city. The survey asks the city to report all boundary changes which have become final in the preceding calendar year. It is critical that cities carefully check the boundaries on the map which will be provided with the survey when it is mailed out early in 1999. Before the Census Bureau is completely inundated with responses, make sure that your city's boundaries, as of December 31, 1998, are com- pletely accurate and reflected consistently both in J Census Bureau records and with the state agency with whom you file annexations. You want to ensure that the base map is completely accurate so that all you have to be concemedwith in early 2000 are changes that have occurred during one year. The Census Bureau has issued regulations declaring that all annexations in effect on January I, 2000 and reported to the Bureau no later than March I, 2000 will be recognized in the year 2000 census. While the Boundary and Annexation Survey mailed out early in 2000 should allow for complying with this legal sched. ule, all annexations .that occur from january I, 1999 through january I, 2000, may be filed directly with: BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Ann: Geography Division- BAS Unit 1201 E. loth Street jeffersonville, Indiana 47132-0001 CENSUSCONT ACT: Nancy Goodman phone (301) 457-1099 or e-mail: nancy. goodmanwquickmail. geo.census. gov ~ Q. How CAN CITIES PRO- MOTE GOOD RESPONSE TO THE 2000 CENSUS? A. Through outreach and advertising efforts on the local level. It's no secret that greater awareness about the Census will increase the likelihood of response. By repeating a consistent message and by the use of numerous and varied sources, you can encourage a more positive response by your community to the Census. There are sever- al ways to promote the 2000 Census. If greater Census participation is the goal, a good advertising and outreach effort is needed at the local government level to supplement what is being done at the federal level. This is necessary because associating known entities (such as local government officials and local personality figures) will spur greater interest in the Census, rather than the more generic advertising at the federal level. An inexpensive, yet potentially effective, way to intro- duce the Census to the citizens of your city is through the use of newspaper articles written from both a "news" perspective and from a "human interest" slant. These articles can be an important educational tool which can reach a vast number of people. Another idea is to recruit local personalities to do a short radio or 1V spot to reach people who may not read the paper. The possibilities for educating your citizens about the importance of the Census are limited only by your imagination! At the federal level, the private advertising firm of Young and Rubicam (YOR) has been retained to conduct a campaign to promote the 2000 Census. With a budget of $70 million, YiJR will launch its ad campaign across all audiences between February and May, 2000. Currently, YiJR's advertising efforts are in the formative stages. The Census Bureau Marketing Department can be reached at (301) 457-2988. . Q. How CAN A LOCAL COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE (CCC) HELP PUBLICIZE THE CENSUS, AND HOW DO LOCAL JURISDIC- TIONS GO ABOUT ORGANIZING ONE? A. While cities use a variety of methods to encour- age response to the Census, one frequently used method has been a CCc. Cities are not required to have Complete Count Committees, but, if done well, this type of committee can be a useful mechanism to focus efforts and to create com- munity involvement. I ! i I I ... The goal of a CCC is to make everyone in the communi- ty aware of Census 200. 0 and to help motivate respons.e to the Census at the local level. The Census Bureau recommends that the CCC be made up of well-respect- ed and influential leaders and "gatekeepers" from all segments of the community, such as business, labor, local government homeless, religious and educational organizations, neighborhood associations, and ethnic and minority organizations. Obviously, only those indi- viduals willing to invest enough time and energy to serve on this committee should be appointed. . The recommended period of service is between April, 1998 and June, 2000. The local government partner- ship specialist in your regional Census office can pro- vide you a suggested timeline and method of organiza- tion for a complete count committee.
