MEMORANDUM TO Mayor and CouncIl FR CIty CoordInator RE Asst Bwldmg Inspector posItIon DA March 10, 1999 DISCUSSIon Dunng the development of the 1999 budget, Allen Zepper, Bwldmg OffiCIal, requested the lunng of a full tIme BwldIng Inspector m 1999 based on projected housmg starts for the new development area as well as for other construction In the developed areas The CounCIl approved the request and the 1999 budget Includes an addItional employee for the BUIldmg InspectIon department It was antIcIpated that the new hIre would not take place until July 1, 1999 . It now appears that the CIty Will need to move forward on the hmng of a new Inspector at tlus tIme. The Bwlding OffiCIal has, and Will contInue to be on extended leave, and the actiVIty of the department IS exceedIng the level of actiVIty for the past 3 to 4 years. The current Bwlding Inspector IS not able to keep up with all the actiVIty assocIated With the Building Inspection Department (I e, plan reVIew, InSpectIOns, phone calls, etc) I have looked at the pOSSIbIlity oflnnng someone on a temporary basis However, there IS a conSIderable amount of buIldIng actiVIty thru-out the Metro area and mspectors (part time or temporary as well as full tIme) are at a premIUm Therefore It appears that we wIll need to lure a full tIme mspector . I ongmally resIsted the lunng of any new personnel - especIally because of the budgetary constramts we were faCIng However, I now support the hmng of a new mspector because It appears that the level of actIVIty and assocIated revenues Will be more than enough to "pay" for the new employee Further, I have talked to ChIef Dauffenbach and ChIef Kallestad regardIng other actIVIty the BwldIng InspectIOn Department could be Involved m If the construction actIVIty "slackens" After talkmg to these two mdIvIduals It appears that there would be an opportunIty to perform other code enforcement actIVIties, such as fire InSpectIOns, SIdewalk snow removal, other nwsances, etc (especIally between the months of October thru March when Leo MIller IS not aVaIlable to conduct code enforcement actiVItIes) I also thInk we need to do a better Job of followmg up on buIldIng actiVIty that never seems to get fimshed and we could also do a better Job of dIscovenng bwldIng constructIon that takes place WIthout the Issuance of a bUIldmg permIt. In any event I am requestmg that the CouncIl authonze staff to begm the hmng process . for an Asst BUIldmg Inspector posItIon and that the employment date be moved up to an lInmedIate start date (1 e . as soon as a selectIOn can be made) I have enclosed aJob descnptIOn and a salary schedule for the new pOSItIon RecommendatIOn CouncIl authonze staff to begm hmng process for Asst BUIldmg Inspector pOSItIOn -1/; l( . . . MEMO~UM TO Mayor and CouncIl FR Bwldmg Official f/ij%1 RE Asst BuildIng Inspecto posItion DA. March 12, 1999 DIScussIon' The CIty Coordinator has given you a memo requesting that I be allowed to hIre another bwlding inspector. I have discussed this a few times with Nile and I am reheved that he is now recommending the new employee I have been absent from work for over a month now and it appears that I will not be returning to work for at least another 4 weeks. Right now the building activity is more than two people can handle let alone having Cmdy do all of the work during my absence. TIns is only the beginning. I am sure that the activIty wIll mcrease tremendously when Spong arrIves. Further, it is necessary that we hIre someone ASAP in order to do a good job of plan review and mspections. Some of the plans that have been submitted take many hours to complete and with all of the . mspectIons that are required I am concerned that some problems could arise. I would hke to further request that I be allowed to hire John Buckley as the Asst. Bwlding Inspector John has performed some building inspection work for the City in the past. He is currently certified as a Building Official-Limited which allows him to perform residential and "light" commercial inspections John is presently working toward his Class A Building Official certification and should be able to obtain tlus certIfication within one to two years. John should also be available for employment WIth the City WIthin the next 3 to 4 weeks. I will be unable to be at the meeting Tuesday. However, Nile should be able to answer any questions you might have. Recommendation: Council authorize staff to begin hiring process for Asst. BuIldmg Inspector position. .

The Project Narrative should mclude a general descnptlve overview of what the project mvolves and what Will be accomphshed by the completion of the project Please hunt your narrative to one page The City ofSttllwater IS seekmg funds for acquIsition of27 acres for the proposed Brown's Creek Nature Preserve The area IS located wlthm the City'S Annexation Area, south of McKuslck Road and the Zephyr Railroad tracks and west of Neal Avenue The area IS currently located m Stillwater Township, but wtll be annexed to the City wlthm the next two years and the surroundmg area developed for residential uses ProtectIOn and restoration of the area before development IS partlcularly slgmficant to protect habit areas and Brown's Creek and ItS tributaries, which are deSignated trout waters The City hopes to combme thiS area With 275 acres of addltlonal open space (called Brown's Creek Park) unmedlately north of the site AcqUISition and p'rotectlOn of these areas wlll accomphsh the followmg objectLVes . Protect the quahty of Brown's Creek and ItS tributaries . Restore slgmficant upland habitat to support ecosystem functions m the area . PrOVide passIVe recreatIOn and education opportumtles compatible With the area . PrOVide a slgnficant habitat refuge and recreational "node" wlthm a network of comdors along Brown's Creek and ItS tributaries The comdors lmk habitat areas and potential tralls along Brown's Creek and McKuslck Lake to downtown Stillwater, and south along a tributary to eXlstmg tralls along Long Lake The City IS currently workmg with owners of the "Brown's Creek Park" property to the north of the Nature Preserve to acqulTe thiS land In 1995, the City ofStlllwater completed Its Comprehensive Plan that mcluded annexation of approximately 1800 acres west of the City, mcludmg the proposed Nature Preserve site In 1997, the City worked With the Mmnesota DNR, developers, Stlllwater Township, and others to complete the Stillwater AlternatIVe Urban AreaWide ReView (AUAR) The AUAR mcludes an analYSIS of the envlTonmental Impacts of development proposed for the Annexation Area, and Includes a plan for avoidance and mitigatIOn of potential Impacts A key element of the Mitigation Plan was the protection of Browns Creek and ItS tributaries, and associated open space areas . To unplement the AUAR Mltlgatlon Plan, the City completed a Natural Resources Inventory and Management Plan for the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve area m 1998 The Inventory Identified the type and quahty of plant commumtles m the area, and mcluded a species mventory for each commumty The area mcludes the followmg . Good to high quahty sedge meadows, wetlands and sprmg areas adjacent to the Brown's Creek tributary (some areas have been mvaded by reed canary grass) . a small grove of tamaracks With an understory of wet prame plants, Invaded by buckthorn . old fields dommated by smooth brome and Canada goldenrod, With scattered native species . bands of prame grasses along the Zephyr Railroad tracks . and wood lots, mcluding white and bur oaks and sugar and sliver maples The mventory notes that the old fields and woodlands have a high potential for restoratlon to natlVe commumtles includmg wet meadow, prames, and oak savanna The restoration plan Includes removal of exotic species such as black locust and buckthorn, use of controlled burns to control these species and reed canary grass, and mterseedmg and plantmg With native species The site has been used for agnculture m the past, and grassland and woodland plant commumtles on the site have lost diverSity due to grazing and mvaslOn by exotic species Despite thIS, posslbtlltles for restoratIOn of more diverse native commumties are excellent AcqUISition and protection of the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve and adjacent Park before the area develops IS a hIgh pnonty for the CIty, because It offers a unIque opportumty to protect a large, contiguous parcel of habitat, protect trout waters m the area, and prOVide compatible recreatIOn and educatIOn opportumtles for future generatIons of City reSidents . - --.{). -r~ tlt -- ;. $m -, . ;'00 .t. s;' I ... -='.J ....

Includes patches of prairie grasses and forbs in a matrix dominated by smooth brome and Canada goldenrod. Shrubs and small trees are invadmg from the north and west. ThIS old field IS of higher qUalIty than other old fields on the site, with a higher proportion and diverSIty of native species. It is adjacent to diverse wetland communities (emergent marsh, sedge/wet meadow, and shrub communities) and to Browns Creek, and adds some upland habitat to this complex. It is adjacent to a corridor of prairie grasses along the Zephr railroad track. Disturbance indicators: The old field was probably grazed in the past, which is suggested by the dominance of the brome, bluegrass and goldenrod, and relatively low diversity of native species. OccaSIonal fires sparked by trains have helped to keep a larger proportion of prairie grasses close to the railroad tracks. With a cessation of bums and cutting, small trees and shrubs are begInning to invade the old field from the adjacent wooded wetland areas. . Management recommendations. A regime of controlled bums, including spring and fall burns, is recommended. Interseeding may be added to increase the dIversity when results of several burns have been analyzed 1 Community #2 .

Even in late October m a dry fall, there IS significant flow In the tributaries, suggesting the presence of springs. One such "spring" area may be located just to the west of Old Field 5, near a patch of willows and cattails On October 23, the stream just downstream from this point had a noticeable mass of suds and a small oil slick. Is there a problem septic system in the area? The southerly tributary is about one foot wide and 8 mches deep at the point just south of Woodland 6. It has a strong flow at this point and defined channel Disturbance indicators' Some areas of the wetlands adjacent to the old fields have been grazed, and invaded by reed canary grass. Cessation of bums in the area is allowing buckthorn and locust shrubs to gain footholds in the wetlands near woodlands Management recommendations' Management recommendations include burning these areas to control exotics, protecting them with wetland buffers and minimizing disturbance. If a trail system is built along the tributaries, it should be built on one side only to leave some undisturbed habitat for birds and other animals Every effort should be made to keep these corridors intact as the area develops to allow for wildlife movement along the tributaries and to protect the water qualIty of the tributaries. Trees, shrubs, and tall grass areas should be maintained to cool the water in the tributaries that flow to Brown's Creek. Regular water temperature monitoring on the tributaries that was established in 1997 should be continued 3 Community #2A .

The area is adjacent to shrub fringe along tributary and wet meadow. Heavy 4 . . . invasion by buckthorn and reed canary grass, but tamaracks are interesting and unique. Old beaver dam nearby may have helped to create hydrology that supports this community. Disturbance Indicators: Low diversity and community dominants suggest that the area was grazed in the past Reed canary grass dommates the wet meadow commumty, and buckthorn is invading among the trees and shrubs Management Recommendations: Fall burns that are hot enough to attack the roots may help to control the reed canary grass Will require a fIfe break or other protection for tamaracks Several years of burns may help sedges and other natives to return Area could also be interseeded. The tamaracks are unique (may have been planted), and may therefore have a higher local priority for protection than the wet meadow community alone. s Communities #3 .

Old field dominated by smooth brome and Canada goldenrod. A burn regime may bring back some diversity, or overseeding could be used to increase diversity over many years, A higher diversity of prairie grasses (including Big bluestem, Little bluestem, Switch grass, and Cordgrass) remain along the railroad tracks at the north end of the field The old field grades to shrub communities along the east and south near the Browns Creek tributaries. The two old field areas are nearly identical in species mix. Highest quality at north end near railroad tracks and along tributary corridor. . 6 . . . An interesting community at the southeast end at the bend in the tributary includes Tamaracks. Tamarack area includes the following species: 7 Community #4 .

Silver maple canopy trees over 100 feet, and some greater than 36" dbh Silver maple were planted on a grid. Sugar maple and elm are smaller. One large Bur Oak at southeast edge has dbh approximately 30". Northern end of woodland is higher quality-more open, and less invasion by buckthorn. Southern and western edges have large clones of black locust and larger buckthorn, plus lombardy popular, honeysuckle, and other exotICS. Birds present include chickadees, woodpeckers, and vireos (late October). . 8 . Disturbance indIcators: The plant community is not a natural one, but appears to have been planted, perhaps has a farm woodlot The ruins of small farm buildings remain on the southern edge of the woodlot, as well as pieces of farm equipment. The southern and western edges have large clones of black locust and buckthorn Several other exotic shrubs are part of the subcanopy in these areas. The northern part of the woodland is more open, and has a higher diversIty of native plants m the canopy, subcanopy, and ground layer. Management recommendations. The Woodlot could be improved by removal of buckthorn, locust and popular, and controlled burns to suppress these and other non-natives in the understory. The Woodlot provides good habitat diversIty in combmatIon with adjacent oldfield and wetland communities along the tributaries. The woodlot could be managed to achieve a more natural woodland structure and plant diversIty, or it could be managed to recall its lustorical use . Woodland is mteresting because (I) historical associations with agricultural use of the area, (2) the major trees are native and would have been typical of floodplain forest communities in this area, (3) the woodlot provides habitat diversity within the whole natural areas complex along Browns Creek. . 9 Community #5 .

Old field is dominated by smooth brome and Canada goldemod. Locust, maples, and chinese elm are invading from east adjacent to woodland. Juniperus virgimana are also occasional on tins old field Area grades into sedge meadow and shrub wetland along west and south ends near tributaries to Browns Creek. South of the tributary, the old field is much the same, though no areas of native grasses are evident. Old field has many deer paths and beds Highest diversity and native species is at the north end near railroad tracks, and at south and west near tributaries . 10 . . . Disturbance Indicators: Like other old fields in the study area, this area may have been tall~grass prairie originally. Grazing and planting have reduced species diversity and favored aggressIve species such as smooth brome and Canada goldenrod. With the cessation of regular fires that helped to maintain the open prairie and its plants, woodland plants such as buckthorn, Chinese elm, locust and junipers are now mvading the area. Management Recommendations Management recommendations mclude development of bum regime includmg spring and fall burns, and overseeding with native tall grass prairie species, or tall/mid grass species on drier south-facmg slopes. Cut out locust, buckthorn, and other larger trees and shrubs before bum 11 1999 Grant Application (office use) Conservation Partners & Environmental Partnerships .

The inventory included identification of plant . commumtIes m the area, a species lIst based on a field inventory of each community, assessment of issues and quality, and a management plan,for the area Dunng 1999, we will continue to work with the CIty and its Open Space Advisory Committee to complete the plan and its recommendations. As a part of the process, we v.ill help the City to use the management plan and related information from the AUAR we completed in 1997 to implement the Conservation Partners grant activities. The site has excellent potential for restoration, and protection of this area Viill help to protect Brown's Creek and its tributaries, and provide a habitat area of significant size m a developing area The site has excellent connections along Brown's Creek and its tributaries to other wetlands and habitat areas. The restoration projects will be well worth the effort! Sincerely, BONESTROO, ROSENE ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES Sherri A. Buss, M L.A.

Attachment: State of mtended work and exterior plans. . . . ~istnrit ~enlluati1ltts ~nt. 124 NORTH MAIN STREET STILLWATER, MINNESOTA The Melton's have entered Into a contract with our firm to assist in the renovation of this project. At this time we have completed our on site inspection of the property and found that the building is in very good structural condition, except for less than a dozen or so joists on the first floor that will need to be corrected. At this ti1ne the building is basically gutted. The only buildmg element that should be saved on the interior is the original tde floor. The front fa~ade of the building has been altered over time with such adverse elements as second floor windows half filled with glass blocks; street level windows bricked half\vay up and a 1960's vintage front door. At the rear of the building is a poorly constructed addition with tin roof and plywood walls. At this time we would purpose to convert the front of the building back to the original character it had in 1882 by restoring the window and door openings, and replacing the millwork with the proper era trinl detail. In the rear of the building we will tear down the old addition and reconstruct a new two-story addition that \vtll contain a new enclosed Dumpster area, ADA approved bathrooms and interior ramp for handicapped access. The exterior of this area win be conlpleted in brick. On the first floor we will create a retail space of approximately 1500 square feet, complete with the original tile floor, exposed bnck walls and a new tin ceiling Up on the second floor we have designed a two-story 10ft style unit with more than 2300 square 300 Dayton Avenue · SUIte B4 · St. Paul · MN 55102 . 290-9132 . feet of living space. This unit will have two bedrooms, two baths, and fireplace, with lots of skylights and exposed brick \valls. Both upper and lower floors will be sprinkled and all pJunlbing, electric, heating and air systems will be replaced. Enclosed is a letter from Norwest stating that the Melton's have received a $100,000.00 line of credit to be used for this project. Also enclosed are preliminary drawings of the front and rear of the property. We will have intenor drawings for your inspection and comments at the Council meeting on the 16th. We \viIl have exterior drawings complete in time for HPC approval on April 5th By May 15th we should have Building Department approval, and bidding cOlnpJete so that we can start construction, with the exterior complete sometime in September and the building ready for move-in shortly there after. . . ~ - -~ A - ~ Q) EI tiJlSI 0 0 0 G G 0 - ... - !!IJ - ... ...

MEMO To: From: Subject: Date: Mayor and CIty CouncIl '" ~ Steve Russell, Commumty Development DIrector {~ AddItIonal InformatIon on CIty AssIstance for Maple Island BUIldIng RenovatIon March 12, 1999 SInce the CouncIl meetIng on March 16, 1999, the Downtown ParkIng CommiSSIon considered the constructIon of a Water Street parkIng lot In addItIon to the prevIously proposed UBC lot. The parkIng CommISSIon, WIth some concern regardIng the rate of growth of the downtown pay parkIng program, recommended an arrangement where Impark improve the Water Street lot as well as the UBC lot In Spring 1999 and manage the downtown parking program for four years (1999 to 2002). The developers of the Maple Island bUIldmg mdicated at the March 2, 1999 CounCIl meetIng that they need $65,000 ofTIF per year for 10 years (the remammg years left in the downtown dIStnct) or $650,000 for the pro] ect to proceed. The WashIngton County tax assessor has estabhshed a $2,700,000 value for the renovatIon of the property. The estimate TIF available from that value IS $55,000 as estImated by the Finance Director. In order to get the $65,000 per year ofTIF necessary to make the project go, staff and the developer have agreed to establIsh $55,000 floor on the amount ofTIF available up to $65,000 or $650,000 for the term of the dIstnct. ThIs would allow TIF to be receIved over the $55,000 estImated yearly rate If It is paId by the property and receIved by the CIty There wIll be no addItIonal responsIbihty for payment by the CIty other then the 100 percent of available TIP up to $650,000. The other responsIbIlity of the City would be to prOVIde 50 Improved parkIng spaces for the iI'ocety store customers by November 1, 1999. This would be accomplIshed WIth the Downtown ParkIng Comnussion recommendatIon. If a grocery store is not present on the site at some pomt in the future, the free parkIng would not be available for a new use. The other pubhc improvements, i.e., Water Street, Mulberry Street, Maple Island lots, would be improved at some pOInt in the future when funds are available. It has been suggested by the CIty Attorney that the downtown TIF distnct could be extended through legislatIon to cover additional improvement costs. This Idea could be further explored by staff If the Council would like addItIonal informatIon (street lighting, Lowell Park, parkIng structure). The CIty Attorney will prOVIde a modified development agreement for CouncIl review and pOSSIble approval Recommendation: ConSIderatIon for approval of development agreement for TIP and parkIng aSSIstance for renovation of Maple Island buIldIng Including a downtown grocery store Attachment: Development Agreement I . . . ,., AGREEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL REDEVELOPMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA AND MAINSTREAM DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP FOR 212 ~ NORTH MAIN STREET STILL WATER, MINNESOTA 55082 THIS INSTRUMENT WAS DRAFTED BY DaVId T Magnuson #66400 MAGNUSON LA W FIRM The Desch Office BuIldIng 333 North Mam Street SUIte 202 StIllwater, MInnesota 55082 612/439-9464 CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE REDEVELOPMENT .

SEH completed a study which assessed eXistmg watershed and lake conditiOns for Llly Lake and recommended several alternatives to reduce pollutant loadIngs to the lake to improve water quahty Smce that study was completed, MnDOT has proposed a change In stonnwater routIng which would alter the Size of the Llly Lake watershed City staff have expressed an mterest m assessmg the potentmlImpact of this changed condition on Lily Lake In additIon, City staff have requested that the water quahty management strategy outlmed m the 1996 report be re-evaluated and that several other management optIons which may be more cost-effective be examIned Proposal We propose to carry out thIS project accordIng to the followmg tasks . Task 1 Review eXistIng: infonnatiOn As a first step. we w1l1 carry out a detalled reView of the 1996 report on Llly Lake To supplement thIS mfonnatiOn , we wIll also collect and evaluate available data that wIll help determIne management outcomes for the lake, IncludIng lake bathymetnc data, Information on the type and relatIve abundance of aquatic plants, and In-lake chemical and biOlogical data generated SInce the completiOn of the SEH report Task 2 Update watershed and lake response models The computer models for LIly Lake and itS watershed would be updated CritIcal Inputs to the models, such as wet pond volume for upstream pondmg areas, would be revIewed and updated as necessary The model would be tested against the three years of additIonal in-lake data that has been collected for Llly Lake since the completion of the SEH report to help assure as accurate a quantIficatIon of future management actions on the quahty of the lake as pOSSible ThiS step will also mvolve assessing the impact of the probable reductIon in the SIze of the area draIning to Lllly Lake due to MnDOT's proposal to re-rout stonnwater from Oak Park Heights away from Llly Lake Task 3 Identify and assess management alternatIves . The management options Identified In the 1996 report will be re-evaluated for theIr cost- effectIveness m redUCIng watershed loadIngs to the lake to achieve identified water - ~ . . qualIty goals In additIOn, several other optIOns will be evaluated These options include. but may not be lImited to, the followmg . ModificatIOn of eXlstmg stormwater pondmg areas to mcrease pollutant removal efficiencies . AquatIc plant management/control strategies, mcludmg temporary winter drawdo\\1n . Batch treatments of Llly Lake and/or the Bnck Pond system with chemical precipitants such as alum . PublIc education, street sweepmg and other non-structural options Sequencmg of management options w1l1 also be evaluated to determme the best overall strategy to achieve measurable Improvements in water quahty within a reasonable time penod while mmirrnzmg total costs to the CIty and It residents Task 4 Develop summary report A report w1l1 be prepared for the City detaihng the outcome of the reVIew, mcludmg the estimated costs and effectlveness/benefits of each management option, and which management optIons should be pursued A tlmeline showing the sequencmg of ImplementatIOn for the recommended remedial measures WIll also be presented Twent} copies of the final report will be provIded . Project Budget and Timeline The estimated proJect budget IS as follows Task 2 - Update watershed and lake response models $2,000 $2,900 Task 1- ReVIew eXIstmg mformatIon Task 3 - Identify and assess management alternatIves $3,400 Expenses (Travel, pnntmg, cOPYIng) $3,200 $1,300 Task 4 - Develop summary report Total $12,800 We estimate that the proJect WIll be completed and the final report delIvered to the CIty wlthm approximately by May 31, 1999 .

This study and deSIgn work IS scheduled for completIon by Fal1199~ At tomght's meetIng, a MnDOT representatIve wIll update the CouncIl on bndge deSIgn progress Bridge Impacts The Mayor and Commumty Development DIrector met WIth econOmIC and lustonc preservatIon consultants regarding the Impact of the new bndge and removal of the eXIstIng bndge on . StIllwater, In general and Downtown StIllwater specIfically. LIsted below are key maJor area of Impact that WIll have a sIgmficant, negatIve effect on the CIty of StIllwater after the new bndge IS constructed Short term constructIon impacts are not addressed In tlus memo although they are important to the economy of downtown. Good, convement access to downtown durIng and after construction IS critIcal to the VIabIlIty of the small, local bUSInesses. ThIs reVIew assumes that the eXIstIng lustonc 11ft bridge WIll In some way be closed to auto traffic. ObvIously If the causeway IS removed and the bridge remaIns m tact, the VISUal and lustonc Impacts WIll be less then If the bridge IS demolIshed and removed. The attached map shows the Braun Consensus alIgnment WIth Downtown Stillwater park and hIstonc Impact sItes . Aiple Property Park. A new bndge at the consensus location WIll make % to ~ of the AIple Property Park unswtable for park purposes. The Aiple Property Park Plan relIes on the SItes current natural condItIon and St CroIX settIng (heaVIly treed, St CrOIX River's natural beauty) for eryoyment of the park The park IS planned for a pOSSIble VISItor center, m the Terra Termmal buIldIng, and pasSIve recreatIon, traIls, native plantIng, InterpretatIon oflustonc remaIns, pIcmckIng and VIeWIni BasIcally, the value of the sIte IS dependent on its natural settmg and beauty. The new bridge WIll SIgnIficantly dIsrupt that natural settIng and beauty by ItS phYSIcal location. Bridge Impacts on the park Include, noise, VISUal, phYSICal IntruSIOn, air quality and a general degrading Impact on the park VIsitor experience . . . \ Mayor and CIty Council Page 2 March 16, 1999 Kolliner Park. KollIner Park IS a 40 acre natural area gIven by owners of an early lumber mill to the CIty of Stillwater In the early 1900s. SInce that time, the park expenenced active recreatIonal use In the early years of use to passIve use recently KollIner Park, In the past, has been used as a SWImmIng beach, tent camping, picnic area and for hikIng trails Currently the park IS used as a natural backdrop to the CIty of StIllwater located on the OpposIte side of the nver As WIth the Alple Property, its value IS In Its natural condItIon and settIng. The new consensus bndge WIll create a sIgnificant IntruSIOn on the natural beauty of the SIte. The Impact on KollIner Park south of the bndge because ofbndge locatIon WIll be greater than the park area on the north sIde of the bridge. WIth the removal of the lustonc 11ft bndge, convement pedestnan as well as auto access to the park WIll be eliminated. TIns In effect WIll take almost all of the CIty'S opportunitIes, nghts, or value for use of Kollmer Park away. The combIned impacts of constructIon of a new bridge (visual/aesthetIc) and removal of the old bridge (access) are sIgmficant to the CIty of StIllwater and take away the value of Kolliner Park as a park or recreatIonal resource. Lowell and Pioneer Park. As WIth the other nverway park SItes, lustonc Lowell Park and PIoneer Park rely on theIr scemc natural setting for their enjoyment and value. Lowell Park IS located Just north of the Alple Property Park extendIng approxImately 1,000 feet north and south of the lustonc lift bridge. Pioneer Park over looks the river and downtown and IS known for Its river VIew to regIonal VISItOrs and reSIdents alIke. The qUalIty of the park expenence In both City parks WIll be negatIvely Impacted by the new bndge intruSIon The bndge wIll be a new, Jarring modern Image Noise and at tImes the glare of cars and exhaust fumes wIll foul the eXIstmg natural settIng on the St CrOIX. These Impacts reduce the qualIty of these heaVIly used park SItes. Removal of Historic Lift Bridge. The lustonc lift bndge is on the NatIonal Register of HIStoriC Places More SIgnificant to local and regional residents IS that It IS symbolIc of downtown StIllwater. CIty statIonary uses the bridge. The historic bridge IS synonymous with downtown StIllwater. The removal of the bndge takes away one of the maJor contributIng structures (probably the most significant) to Histonc Downtown StIllwater The value of removal of the bndge is very lugh when consIdenng the uniqueness of StIllwater and ItS value as a VIsItor destInatIon. It would be difficult to put an actual value on removal of \ . . Mayor and CIty CouncIl Page 3 March 16, 1999 the bndge but It IS very sIgmficant to StIllwater resIdents, downtown StIllwater busInesses and regIonal VISItOrs. Tlus IS documented through recent edItonals In local and regIonal newspapers Mitigation LIsted below are mItIgatIons that would lessen the Impact of constructIon of a new bndge and removal ofhIstonc 11ft bndge on the CIty of StIllwater. If the hIstonc bndge IS not removed but closed, some lustonc Impacts would be reduced but access Impacts would remaIn. Aiple Property Park Alple Property Park should be constructed according to the AIple Property Plan Changes would be reqwred In the southern sectIon of the park because of the bndge IntruSIon. A plan optIon calls for the reuse of the Terra TermInal bwldmg as a VISItor center. If a mItIgatIon to the new bndge IS removal of the CIty owned Terra bwldIng, addItIonal mItIgatIons or payments could be reqUIred. . Downtown Access The removal of the old lustonc 11ft bndge or removal of the causeway In WISCOnSIn wIll result In loss of dIrect lughway access to downtown. Under the ongmal optIon, the old 11ft bndge would have remaIned and proVIded a "bUSIness loop" to downtown. WIth the removal of the bndge, access to downtown WIll be less convement causIng an economIC Impact partIcularly on small local bUSInesses Good deSIgn ofTH 36/95 Interchange can help address thIS Impact although an economIC Impact WIll remaIn WIth no through access To address tIns Impact, the Umon PacIfic/BurlIngton Northern raIlroad right of way from the south CIty boundary to Mulberry Street should be purchased (tIns nght of way IS currently aVaIlable) The nght of way could then be used to prOVIde non-auto access VIa pedestnans, bIcyclists and trolley car to downtown A "park and nde" lot and boardIng area could be constructed at the south end of the Alple Property Park near the new bndge for park and nde weekday use and downtown StIllwater weekend parkers. ThIs mItIgatIon would prOVIde an effiCIent use of the lot, address the loss of access to downtown StIllwater and ItS economIc Impact, promotes non-auto access to downtown and proVIdes effectIve use of the TH 36 comdor by carpoolers or bus riders DependIng on what IS done with the old bndge, a pedestnan tram could be constructed from the end of the old bndge to a landIng In KollIner Park to proVIde pedestnan access to the park A traIl connectIon from the new bndge on the WISCOnSIn SIde of the nver to KollIner Park would also address lost bndge access and prOVIde a tremendous recreatIon asset to the area. . Flood Wall Construction. To mItigate the general aesthetIc and lustonc impact to Kolliner Park, PIoneer Park, Lowell Park and the downtown StIllwater commercial historic dIstnct, a floodwall along Lowell Park could be constructed or a ponion of the cost of the proJect funded to protect the lustonc Integnty and phYSICal condItIon of downtown StIllwater (the proJect IS . . . \ . Mayor and CIty CouncIl Page 4 March 16, 1999 currently desIgned but unfunded) The new bndge Impacts on the VISUal and aesthetIc qUalIty of downtown would be mItIgated by the added 50 year flood protectIon for the downtown area ThIs mitIgatIon would be of overall benefit to the downtown area and communIty. There are certaInly other Impacts to StIllwater mcludmg Impacts to neIghborhoods (nOIse, glare, lIght, aIr qualIty) The Impacts lIsted above are partIcularly sIgmficant to mstonc Downtown, Stillwater Recommendation Approve CIty of StIllwater Impact Statement and MItIgatIon Program (resolutIon).

TH 36/STH 64 New St. Croix River Crossing Fact Sheet The Mmnesota Department of TransportatIon (Mn/DOT) and the WISCOnSIn Department of TransportatIon (WIs/DOT) are studYIng a new river crossIng of the St. CrOIX RIver near Stillwater. The proJect is being pursued to address safety and congestIon problems on the 11ft bndge and Its approach roadways, HIghway 36 in MInnesota and HIghway 35/64 in WISCOnSIn. Age related problems WIth the 1931 11ft bridge are also becormng more of a concern. The 11ft bndge reached Its practical capaCIty of 15,000 vehIcles per day in 1990 and has remaIned relatIvely unchanged In the last mne years. The lift bndge and the nearby Chestnut-MaIn IntersectIon are severely congested dunng weekday and summer peak periods HIgh pedestrIans volumes at the Chestnut-Main IntersectIon dunng summer months also add to the safety and operational problems The need to be raIse the bridge dunng the naVIgatIon season at least 20 tImes a day also contnbutes to the congestIons problems. Project Background: FollOWIng approval of the proJects enVIronmental reVIew process by Federal HIghway AdrmmstratIon (FHW A) in July 1995, work began on final deSIgn for the bndge and the approach roadways In 1996, the National Park Service (NPS) evaluated the proJect under SectIon 7(a) of the WIld and Scemc RIvers Act and found that the proJect as proposed would have a dIrect and adverse effect on the scemc and recreatIonal values of the Lower St Croix River and the project was not allowed to proceed. A Federal DIStnCt Court upheld the NPS findIngs In a Apnl1998 rulmg FollOWIng this rulIng the DOT's engaged RIchard Braun to faCIlItate a process to attempt to reach consensus on the need for and the location and type of a new nver crOSSIng Braun concluded that a new four-lane bndge would be reqwred to satIsfy the proJect need and recommended a weathered steel arch bndge on a new alIgnment. The FHW A, WIs/DOT, Mn/DOT and NPS have agreed to use the Braun recommendatIons as a baSIS for further reVIew. The Braun recommendatIons are collectIvely referred to as the "Consensus AlternatIve" Proposed Improvements: Consensus AlternatIve conSIsts of a four-lane arch bridge on a alIgnment apprOXImately 3,600 feet south of the eXIsting 11ft bndge New approaches and mterchanges will be constructed on both the MInnesota and WISCOnSIn SIdes of the St CrOIX RIver. WIs/DOT IS consIdering two roadway alIgnments connectIng the east SIde of the bndge to HIghway 35/64.

Page 1 . . . What do other official city documents sav about the administration of the city? .. . The PolIcIes and Procedures manual says the CIty CoordInator IS "responsIble for Insunng the effectIve admImstratIon of these pohcles" However, the polIcIes referred to are hmIted to personnel matters and do not Include budget, finanCIal management or admInIstratIOn The CIty CoordInator's Job descnptIOn referenced above has been approved by the City CouncIl and IS In force, although It IS not part of eIther the Charter or the Pohcles and Procedures manual The Charter COImmSSIOn IS recommendIng that the Charter be amended to mclude a summary of the Job responsIbtlltles of the CIty CoordInator In order to put thIS Job descnptIOn In the correct context, the Charter ComnussIon IS also recommendIng that a summary of the Job responsIbIlItIes of the Mayor and City Councumembers be added to the Charter ProDosed Chan2es in Personnel Policies and Procedures What changes could be made to improve the council-coordinator model now in place? The City AdmInistrator could be given the authonty to hIre and fire staff The Charter COITUnISSIOn contacted the cItIes of Brooklyn Park, White Bear Lake, Anoka and Crystal to determine whether their CIty managers were authorized to hire and fire staff In all four citIes, the city manager has the authority to hire and fire In Anoka, the city manager must have the approval of the CouncIl to hIre and fire department heads Police Chiefs and Fire ChIefs are also hired and fired by the CouncIls in each city The WhIte Bear Lake CIty manager noted that giving the clnef admInIstrator the authonty to hire and fire staffkeeps politICS out of personnel matters and helps the CIty run more effiCIently The Charter CommISSIon has had the most difficulty developing a recommendatIon on thIS change A mInonty of the Commission believes tlns power should be retained by the CIty CouncIl The majonty recommends that the City Admimstrator be given the authority to hIre and fire lIne staff, but that key CIty officials, such as the Police Chief, Fire Chief and City Attorney, contInue to be appointed by the City Council, with the asSIstance and adVIce of the CIty AdmInIstrator Conclusion What could happen if no changes are made in the Charter at this time? Clearly, there WIll not be any problems while the current Mayor, Council and CIty CoordInator are In place But, IneVItably, there wIll be changes in the makeup of the Council and the staff To aVOId possible confuSIOn and problems dunng future transitIons In leadership, It IS important that the CIty document what IS worlang So well now '" Back2round Information: An OvervIew of the Council-Manager Form of Government (InternatIonal City/County Management AsSOCiation brochure, 10/95) . What IS the councIl-manager form of government? The counCil-manager form IS the system of local government that combmes the strong polItIcal leadershIp of elected offiCIals m the form of a councIl, WIth the strong managenal e"{penence of an appomted local government manager The form establIshes a representatIve system where all power IS concentrated m the elected councIl and where the councIl hIres a profeSSIOnally tramed manager to oversee the delIvery of publIc servIces Is it a responsive form of government? In councIl-manager government, councIlmembers are the leaders and polIcy makers elected to represent vanous segments of the community and to concentrate on polIcy Issues that are responSIve to CItIZens' needs and WIshes The manager IS appomted by the councIl to carry out polIcy and ensure that the entIre commumty IS bemg served If the manager IS not responsIve to the councIl's WIshes, the councIl has the authonty to temnnate the manager at any tIme In that sense, the manager's responSIveness IS tested dally \Vhat is the council's function? The councIl IS the legIslatIve body, ItS members are the commumty's deCISIon makers Power IS centralIzed In the elected councIl, wluch approves the budget and determmes the tax rate, for example The councIl also focuses on the commumty's goals, major projects, and such long- term conSIderatIons as commumty growth, land use development, capItal unprovement plans, capItal finanCIng and strategIc planmng The council lures a profeSSIonal manager to carry out the adminIstratIve responSIbIlitIes and supervtses the manager's performance . \Vhat is the manager"s function? The manager IS lured to serve the councIl and commumty and to bnng to the local government the benefits oftrlllmng and experIence In admInIstenng local government projects and programs on behalf of the governmg body The manager prepares a budget for the council's conSIderation, recruIts hIres, and supervtses the government's staff, serves as the councIl's cluef adVIsor, and carnes out the personnel polICIes CouncIlmembers and CItIzens count on the manager to proVIde complete and ObjectIve mformatIon, pros and cons of alternatIves, and long-term consequences Does the manager participate in policy determination? The manager makes polIcy recommendatIons to the councIl, but the councIl mayor may not adopt them and may modIfy the recommendatIons The manager IS bound by whatever actIon the councIl takes . . . . Prooosed Charter Revisions The Charter Commission recommends that the Charter be amended to reflect the current management model and the roles of the Mayor, Council and City Coordinator. It would be beneficIal to the CItIzens of StIllwater to have the current roles and responsIbIlItIes of Mayor, CIty CouncIl and CIty CoordInator spelled out In the Charter The current management model has evolved as StIllwater has grown It works well for the CIty and has fostered effiCIency and accountabIlIty By addreSSIng the structure of government In the Charter, the City CouncIl can asSISt CItIzens In understanding how theIr government operates and guarantee contInUIty when there IS a change In councIl membershIp or staffing The Charter also needs to be amended to elImInate language that IS ambIguous or inconSIstent WIth other sections describing the roles of elected officials For example, the Mayor is described as the "CEO" of the city, but there IS no explanatIon of what that term means In the context of CIty government The Charter CommISSIon is also recommending that the City Coordinator's tItle be changed to CIty AdmInIstrator to reflect the responsIbIlItIes that have been added to the pOSItIon over the years Overview of the Council-Coordinator Model in Stillwater \Vhat model of government is now in place in Stillwater? StIllwater has a part-tIme Mayor and City CounCIl They have delegated the day-to-day management of the City to a City Coordinator who serves as chief administrative officer of the CIty and IS responsIble for the proper adIlllIl1stratIon of all the poliCIes of the CIty The City CoordInator supervises the adnunistratlon of all departments, researches and aSSIsts In developIng and recommendIng SolutIons to problems, attends and partICIpates In all meetIngs of the CIty council, administers personnel matters and recommends all full-time appoIntments and termInatIons for councIl approval, coordInates annual and long-range work programs for the CIty, and coordinates submission of the annual budget to the councIl Source City Coordmator Job DescnptlOn What does the Charter say about city management? The Charter does not specify how the adnumstratlve functions of the CIty Will be carried out The Charter now reads 702 CIty offiCIals The admInistrative powers, authooty and duties of the varIOUS City offiCIals, not otherwise provided for shall be deternuned and aSSigned among such officials by the Council The Council shall set rules, regulatIons and orders as may be necessary or proper to secure economy and effiCIency No offiCIal or employee shall contract debts to bInd the City or make any Improvements In the CIty, unless authoozed by a maJonty vote of the CouncIl Where does the mayor fit in? Mayors In councIl-manager communmes are key polItIcal leaders and polIcy developers In the case of the councIL the mayor IS responsIble for SOlICIting CItIzen VIews In fonmng these polICIes and interpreting them to the publIc The mayor preSIdes at councIl meetings, selVes as the spokesperson for the community, facIlItates commUniCatIon and understanding between elected and appomted offiCIals, assIsts the councIl In setting goals and advocating polIcy decIsIons. and serves as a promoter and defender of the commumty In addItIOn, the mayor selVes as key representatIve In Intergovernmental relatIons The mayor, councIl and manager COnstItute a polley-development and management team Can the manager be fired?

The MInnesota Correctional Facility - Oak Park Heights (MCF-OPH) is currently In the lIUtlal planning phase to construct a new, 60 bed, high security, self contained, Adnmustrative Control Urnt (ACU). Safe and secure control of dangerous and predatory inmates throughout the Minnesota Department of Corrections is an important agency prIonty. It is believed that tlus unit would most appropriately be located at MCF-OPH. In addition to thIS, MCF-OPH is currently in the construction phase to convert two existmg hVIng uruts mto an expanded Mental Health Urnt (MHU) and Infirmary. The legIslature has appropriated planning money for the Administrative Control Unit and construction dollars for the MHU and InflI1l1ary expansion. I would hke to mvite you, the County Board and City Council members to MCF-OPH for a tour of the faCIlity and an information session about the proposed ACU and MHU and Infirmary expansIon.
