MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and Council
FR"
City Coordinator
RE:
Possible Joint Venture with
Mahtomedi to construct 2ND ice sheet
DA:
May 28, 1999
Discussion:
As you know, Mayor Kimble, Councilmember Zoller and city staffhave been meeting
with representatives from Mahtomedi and the St. Croix Valley Hockey Association
("SCVHA'') to determine the feasibility of joining with Mahtomedi to construct a 2ND
sheet of ice. The Committee has concluded that the question of ice time
availability/apportionment needs to be resolved before we proceed to the next step. We
now have information related to the ice time distribution and Mayor Kimble has directed
that this matter be placed on the agenda and discussed at the 4:30 P.M. portion of the
meeting Tuesday.
I am attaching a proposed ice time distribution worksheet that was developed for the
purpose of determining whether or not adequate ice time would be available to all
potential users if a second sheet of ice was constructed at the present sports complex site
(i.e., adjoining the present ice arena). The worksheet indicates that there would be
approximately 3600 hours of ice time available over a 22-week period if there were three
ice sheets. The focus is on a 22-week hockey/skating "season" that begins about mid
October and ends about mid March. This is the period of time that the majority of the use
takes place among the High School Varsity teams, association programs and the "free
skate" programs.
SCHV A officials have stated that they need at least 1800 hours per year to carry out their
programs. They have also stated a concern about the number of hours that would be
available to them in the future, given growth projections for the Stillwater area
Mahtomedi has stated that they would like to be guaranteed 825 hours (combined) a year
for the Mahtomedi High School ("MHS'') and for the Mahtomedi Hockey Association
(MHA) programs if they are to participate in the financing of the 2ND sheet of ice. The
worksheet indicates that, after the ice time is apportioned to Stillwater Area High School
("SAHS'1 and MH~ "~lty t,.,lTnS, approximately 1752 ~oUl C! atP 'iy...nabte to the SCVHA
and 632 hours would be aVaJlable to MHA (which is arceptable to I.IHA)
In regards to the SCVHA request, it would appear that they would be able to obtam at .
least 1800 hours per year. With two sheets of Ice the SCVHA has only about 1454 hours
aVailable to them. The addition of a third sheet of ice would provide an additional 298
hours and they would then have at least 1752 hours available. Although it is true that a
considerable number of these hours are weekend hours or would start at 9:00 P.M., and
are less desirable hours, it still appears to be a better situation that what exists with two
sheets of ice.
Additionally, I believe that some of the hours that are lIsted as Skating Programs and
Public/other use could be available to the SCVHA I have tried to make sure that
adequate non-hockey ice time is available for "public" use of the facilities. Therefore, we
allocated these hours on the "high side" and all of the hours shown may not be needed for
that purpose. On the other hand, like I said above, we need to make sure that the "public"
has reasonable use of the facilities.
Further, SCVHA officials also have stated that they will need to buy almost 500 hours
from other arenas this upcoming season and that, where in the past they have purchased
these hours from Somerset, Hudson and St. Mary's Point, that these hours may not be
available from the arenas. Therefore, I think this is even more evidence that having three
sheets of ice would be highly beneficial to the SCVHA.
In regards to futme growth, I have obtamed growth projections from ISO 834. It is my
understanding that IDS 834 has used a growth rate of about .6% per year for the next five .
years - or 3% total for the five years period (1999-2003). Presently there are
approximately 500 youth participating in SCVHA programs. Although, it is difficult to
predict exactly what the future will bring, the ISO 834 projections would appear to
indicate that only an additional 15 or so youth would be participating in the SCVHA
programs by the year 2003.
As I have stated at many of the meetings that I have attended regarding this issue, I don't
think that the City's mission should be to build an arena for the benefit of another
community However, I do believe that if there are residual benefits such as providing
more ice tune for our area residents, especially if doing so provides a better financial
position (i e., more net revenues, etc.) then I believe the Council should strongly consider
doing so. In this case it appears that there may be some economies that would result in
costs that are proportionately less than the present operations.
In that regard, the CouncIl should, if they are comfortable With the proposed ice time
distribution summary, order a proforma to determine if the construction and operation of
a 2ND sheet of ice is financially feasible The Committee that has been formed to study
this issue is recommending that Springsted, Inc. be commissioned to do the proforma.
Springsted has partIcipated m some of the discussion related to this Issue and they are
prepared to go forward with the proforma
.
.
.
.
There are some additional issues related to the possible construction of a 2ND sheet of ice
(such as the cost of the proforma and how this cost will be shared) and I will be prepared
to discuss them further with you Tuesday.
RecommendatIon:
Council review ice time distribution scenario and determine if a proforma should be
developed for future decision on proposed additional ice arena.

( . 1. Gilbert Court dramage issue.
At the April 6th Council meeting, a resident at 1034 Gilbert Court requested the City look mto
options to correct the dramage problem located along the path from Lily Lake School to the cul-
de-sac on GIlbert Court.
.
In hIs memo, City Engmeer Eckles reported the site investigation shows that water drainIng to
the low pomt m the traIl comes from a small dramage area from LIly Lake School and the north
half of a lot at 1050 GIlbert Court The drainage ditch from the school has filled m, probably
from sedimentation, and could be remedied by re-gradIng the ditch and constructing a berm to
prevent water from leaVIng the mtended dramage path.
City Engmeer Eckles stated there are two options to solve the problem of the low point in the
trail. The first would be to remove the current trail and mstall a new traIl at an estImated cost of
$9000 The second option would be to regrade the backyard of 1034 Gilbert Court and follow
the same design as the ongmal grading plan at an estimated cost of $3400.
It IS proposed to meet with the four parties mvolved: the City, LIly Lake School, and the two
affected homeowners adJacent to the trail to select an option to correct the problem.
Mr. Gruber, the reSident at 1034 Gilbert Court, stated the problems were there before he moved
to the location. He elevated hIs yard to protect It from all the water that comes from the school.
City Attorney Magnuson stated the property owner had knowmgly regraded the lot m dIrect
Violation of the grading plan. The City could get an mJunctIon agaInst the homeowner to return
the property to the original gradmg plan.

Commumty Development Director Russell reported a meetmg was held May 3, 1999, Wlth
vanous agenCIes With penmt authonty or mterest m the project m attendance. A follow-up
workshop was held May 12th. ParticIpants were mvlted to comment on the plan.
CIty comments to the proposed mltIgatIon plan included requests for mltIgatIon for the dIrect and
mdIrect rmpacts of the new bndge on the Alple property park. The park should be developed
accordIng to the Master Plan. A wayside/VISItor informatIon center would compensate for the
City-owned Terra Tenmna1 bwldIng as called for m the mltIgatIon plan.
.
He stated the CIty in no way supports the removal of the HIstonc LIft Bndge. However, if a
portIon or eventually all of the bndge IS removed and pedestnan and auto access to Kolhner Park
is cut off, the loss of access mltIgatIon should be the purchase ofKolhner Park from the CIty.
The property could be turned over to afederal or state agency to allow It to "revert to a more
natural state" as called for by the mltIgatIon plan

6. Update on DNR trout stream realIgnment proJect.
CIty Engmeer Eckles presented a reVIsed cost estImate for the DNR Trout Stream Reahgnment.
The estimate of $650,000 mcludes 10% contmgencIes and DNR engineenng costs ThIs is
approximately $250,000 more than the origmal estImate The mcrease IS a result of the deSIgn
reVIew showing a sIgmficant savmgs to the CIty If the future dIversIOn pIpe that IS to pass
through the golf course is mstalled at the same tIme as the reahgnment proJect. This would also
minimize major dIsruption of the golf course m the future.
.
The DNR has a maximum contribution of $300,000; the CIty must pay all costs above $300,000
The preVIOUS estImate of the CIty'S contnbutIon was $100,000 The CIty contnbutIon could now
be approximately $350,000. The work mcluded m thIs project would eventually need to be
constructed by the CIty, so the only real issue IS the tImmg of the expendIture Several
developments will be required to make contnbutIons to the CIty Trout Stream MItIgation Plan,
so It IS likely the CIty Wlll have much of the momes at the tIme the payments are due.
City Engmeer Eckles stated proceedmg WIth the project Wlll ensure $300,000 ofDNR
partICIpatIon and reduce future costs m golf course disturbance

To: Mayor and Council Members
City of Stillwater
From: Ed Cain, LAI
SUbject: Federal Action and State Legislative Report
Funding for Stage 2 for the LeveeIFlood Control Project:
As the Council IS aware, we have been working with both the House and
Senate Appropriations Energy and Water Subcommittees Since December of last
year toward the allocation of $1.2 million in funding for the purpose of completing
Stage 2 of the Stillwater Levee and Flood Control Project. Mayor Kimble, Council
Members Thole and Bealka, and I met With Congressman Luther, Senator Grams,
and Senator Wellstone's staff In the early part of thiS year to discuss the progress
made on the project and outlining the needs for FY 2000. Mayor Kimble, then,
submitted testimony before both Committees the last week of March of thiS year
Since that time, I have met with Committee staff, the personal staff of the
Members of the House and Senate Appropriation Subcommittees, and worked With
the Corps of Engineers Headquarters In Washington, D.C., as well as the St. Paul
Office of the Corps. I prepared draft letters to be sent by our Congressional
Delegation to the Committee Chairs and Ranking Members, and have followed up
With personal VISitS and phone calls.
Not according to any form, the Senate Committee was the first to mark up the
Energy and Water Appropriations Bill for FY 2000, rather than the House The Senate
awarded Stillwater $1 1 million of the $1.2 million we requested to complete the levee
wall from the gazebo. around Mulberry Point The bid has been advertised, and Will
be awarded on the 18th of June. If the water recedes sufficiently, work will begin on
or about July 1, removing the surcharge and beginning construction of the extension
of the levee wall.
Surcharge Process Works:
The surcharge placed along the riverfront SIX months ago is accomplishing It'S
purpose. Unable to find a solid base after 70-80 foot SOil boring tests were
conducted, the engineers opted for the surcharge method to compress the SOil before
the levee wall was constructed to aVOid settling of the new structure
(1 )
.
.
.
Electronic sensors and piezometers have shown that the compression technique is
working as planned, and in the estimated time period This will permit construction to
begin the end of June or the first week of July of this year. The schedule calls for
completion of Stage 2 construction by the end of the Summer in 2000.
Stage 3 - Flood Wall Construction:
The St. Paul Corps of Engineers are continuing to review the feasibility study of
the Stillwater project which was conducted by the St LOUIS District Office of the Corps
of Engineers. I am working With the St Paul to find ways to more realistically detail
the potential loss In case of flooding of our downtown area. Their baSIS for
determining losses are outrageously extreme to the pOint of ridiculousness If we are
not able to have success working With them, we will simply have to appeal their
deciSion to other Congressional sources to overrule their deCISion As you Will
remember, the State of Minnesota has already prOVided the State share of the
matching funds for Stage 3. Stage 3 IS scheduled to begin the Spring of 2001. An
appropriation of about $5 million Will be needed In Congressional action next year
Report on Minnesota Legislative Action In 1999 Session
Request for two additional Liquor Licenses for the City:
It seems nothing IS easy anymore The City requested two additional liquor
licenses for the purpose of bringing new eating establishments to the Stillwater
Market Place area. There was local opposition from current licensees who, I assume,
did not want competition from additional businesses In the downtown Stillwater
Working with Senator Laidig and Representative Holsten, the bills were rewritten to
exclude the licenSing of establishments In the downtown area. After five different
committee hearings, the bills were incorporated into the Omnibus Liquor Bills in both
the House and the Senate. The Omnlbuswas passed by the Legislature and Signed
Into Law by the Governor. The CounCil now has two additional liquor licenses to
dispense anywhere other than downtown Stillwater
Request for Changes In the Minnesota Tax Law for Property
Assessments Related to Annexation Agreements:
The problem arose with the annexation Agreement between the City of
Stillwater and Stillwater Township While complex, the City found the Agreement
was not fully In accordance With special legislation InvolVing payment of taxes by
certain property owners In the annexed area In accordance With the Agreement. As a
result, the City was forced to recalculate taxes assessed, contact homeowners who
presented proof of taxes paid, and prepare refund checks for the homeowners who
were assessed by the County for taxes according to State Law and not the
Agreement. The taxpayers were not pleased, It reqUired a Significant amount of staff
time, and was an unnecessary cost to the City. Everyone was inconvenienced by the
problem
(2)
.
.
.
Numerous meetings with all the affected governmental units, State tax
attorneys, Committee Members and staff, and others were Intertwined with SIX
heanngs before different Legislative Committees. Much help, support, and testimony
were provided by City Attorney Magnuson and City Coordinator Knesel throughout
the process. An unforeseen problem arose In the Legislative process when a number
of Members In both Houses wanted the exclusion to encompass all the mumcipallties,
and not Just Stillwater. This was deemed to be a major policy change, taking an
entirely different turn than merely a local issue.
The Issue was finally resolved after testimony by Senator laidig and myself In
the House Senate Conference Committee, our bill was passed and included In the
Ommbus Tax Bill
New Bonding Requirements Enacted:
New legislation was passed thiS Session establishing a new process for
bonding requests In future Legislative Sessions. I have attached a summary of the
Knobloch bill which was the baSIS for the new process. It requires the submiSSion of
the request and the rationale to the MN Department of Finance by June 15th of the
year preceding the request. ThiS has implications for assistance In repalnng the old
territonal prison wall.
ThiS year's request for assistance for the prison wall was deferred when only
emergency measures were considered In thiS year's Bonding Bill.

The House passed a bill May 7 that would
modIfy state regulabons of public pay tele-

mission (PUC) to Impose admlmstratlve
penalbes, mcludIng SIgnIficant fines for large
phone compames that engage lD antl-
compebtlve practice The vote was 74-51
Under the bill (HF3S8/SF68S*), the PUC
could Issue admmlstratlve penalbes if tele-
phone companies Vlolatestate and federal laws
that are deSigned to encourage competition.
The PUC would also be allowed to ISSue pen-
albes agamst a telephone company that files a

Under current state law, the PUC must
request that the attorney general pursue ac-
bon m those compla1Ots, and the maxunum
penalty for all telephone companies IS $5,000

The bIll would mcrease that to $100,000 a
day for compames that have 500,000 or more
subscrIbers The mllXlmum penalty would be
lower for smaller telephone compames.
The bill, sponsored by Rep Ken Wolf (R-

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Joe Arndt - placement
of reWlnlng wall and garden
on part of conservation easement
DA: May 28, 1999
Mr. Joe Arndt will be at the meeting Tuesday under IndividualslDelegations and Petitions
to request Council approval to relocate the consevancy easement that lies within his lot in
order to construct a retaining wall on his property. Mr. Arndt submitted the attached
letter and plat map (that shows where the retaining wall is planned and approximately
where the easement would have to be relocated) to me back in April. However, this
matter has not yet been resolved because it requires a number of actions including
Council approval as well as DNR approval. Therefore, Mr. Arndt was advised to appear
before the Council to request City approval and cooperation in obtaining a change in the
easement line.
Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Russell can advise you further on this matter at the meeting
Tuesday.
Recommendation:
Council consider request to relocate conservancy easement on Lot 7 Block 4, Liberty On
the Lake.

Re: No Parking on Northwestern Ave
At the last council meeting, I was asked to look into a parking problem on
Northwestern Ave. This was in response to a letter received from Jennings Siate
Bank. Jhave met with the bank and DiaSorin officials.
.
A Consensus solution to the problem. would be to ban parking on the west side of
Northwestern Ave from Tower Drive south half the distance to Frontage Road This
wouId accommodate the bank's concerns and not affect neighboring properties.
-
Recommend: "No Parking" signs be installed on the west side of Northwest em Ave
from Tower Drive south 400 feet.

RE: P~rking 00 Northwestern Ave.
Dear Mayor Kimble:
I am. writmg to inform you of a potential hazard regarding the exIt of our
parking lot and drive-up fi1cility on to Northwestern Avenue
As you know we are located across the street from DiaSorin (Inc Star) and
have been experiencing difficulty with being able ~ exit the bank lot safely
due to cars being parked along the west side of Northwest em Avenue. I also
do not care for the situation because it detracts from the view of our building.
In case you haven't noticed the only portion of Northwest em Avenue
between Hwy 36 and Curve Crest Boulevard in which street parking is
allowed is in front of our bwIding.
The solutIon I propose is to ban curbside parking for the entlre length of
Northwestern Avenue. I would request that the city also post no parking signs
on our side of the street.
The only potential objection to this proposal would most likely come from
DiaSorin. As a compromise I would agree to switch the parking on
Northwestern from our side of the street-(west) to the Dia Sorin side (east)
side of the street. This would seem only fair since all the people parking on
the street are DiaSorin employees IfDIaSonn does not care for the
comprolDlse they should plan to make better use of its exIStIng parking lots
on its property, or coDStruct a new parking lot on the lot it owns to the north
of its building.
.
I would appreciate your help in coming up with a solution to this problem.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience at (651) 351-1000 Thank you
for your attention to this matter

RE' Purchase of New Computer
DISCUSSIon:
The St CroIX Valley Recreation Center IS currently usmg a computer owned by DICk Anderson
He has mformed us that he Will need to remove that computer from the Recreation Center
because It IS needed elsewhere. Therefore, we WIll need to purchase a new computer that would
be pmd for out of the constructIon account for the Recreation Center
Smce the Engmeenng Department IS also m need of upgradIng some of theIr computers, due to
the high technology needs of that department, I suggest that the new computer go to Engmeenng
and a Pentium from the Engineenng Department to the Recreation Center The cost would be m
the $1700 - $1900 range.
ThIs computer would also allow staff at the Recreation Center to dIal m to our network to access
our network dnves, the Internet and an e-mml address. My recommendation IS approval of the

Discussion:
Due to the timing of the movie production date and the fact that this will be a limited film
production, I have used my discretion in issuing a "Movie Production Permit" to Tundra
Films. The attached letter that was sent to the residents of the affected neighborhood
should explain what will take place because of the filming.
Please call me at 430-8801 if you have any questions in regards to the film production

Dear Resident:
The City of Stillwater will be issuing a "Movie Production Permit" to Tundra Films to
film a short documentary on Friday, June 4, 1999. The 10caAQ!l...ofthe filming will be on
Burlington Street between South Second Street and South ~ Street. The production
will begin about 12:30 P.M. and will end about 6:00 P.M. It is possible that the filming
would need to be re-scheduled to another date if weather conditions are not suitable. If
so, then it is likely that the filming would take place within the next day or two.
Some minor disruption of traffic movement in this area will occur because of the filming
(Le., traffic may need to be re-routed for relatively short periods of time). However,
Tundra Films will be required to hire off-duty police officers to handle traffic control.
Tundra Films is also being asked to be sensitive to the neighborhood and to keep the
production as unobtrusive as possible.
.
Please feel free to call the undersigned at 430-8801 if you have any questions about the
film production. And thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Employee request for
leave of absence
DA: May 28, 1999
Discussion:
I have received a request for a 60 day leave of absence from a City employee (Sr.
Account Clerk) in the Finance Deparbnent. The labor agreement between the City of
Stillwater and AFSCME Local 517 states in part: ''Unpaid leaves of absence for a limited
penod, not to exceed six months may be granted for any reasonable purpose......". I have
discussed the request with the employee and with the Finance Director. Based on this
discussion I believe that the request is reasonable and would recommend approval by the
City Council (note: Council approval is required per the agreement and per the Personnel
Policy).
If the Council approves the request it will be necessary to hire a temporary employee to
replace the person who will be on the leave of absence (it will not be possible for the
Finance Department to operate effectively without replacing the employee). Therefore, I
am requesting, on behalf of the Finance Director, authorization to hire a temporary
employee during the 60 day period of absence.
Recommendation:
Council approve City employees' request for a 60 day leave of absence beginning June 7,
1999 and to authorize the hiring of a temporary employee during the leave of absence
(Consent agenda Resolution).

RE:
Lily Lake Water Improvements
Public Hearmg
Project 9613
DISCUSSION
The Pubhc Hearing for the Lily Lake Water Quality ProJect is scheduled for June I,
1999 I have attached a copy of the feasIbihty report and the Pubhc hearing notice that
was sent to the residents
.
ThIS project's primary objective is to improve the overall water quality of Lily Lake by
hmIting the amount of phosphorus entenng mto Llly Lake. Short EllIOt Hendrickson
provIded the original water quahty management study m 1996 and is responsIble for the
deSIgn of the proJect. Earher thIs year, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlick and Associates was
hIred to assess the impacts of the changes m the water qUalIty of Lily Lake and to reVIew
the water quality management strategy of the 1996 SEH report This report Will be used
as part of an overall comprehensIOn lake protection plan (See attached report).
As part of the first phase of the proJect, two Improvements are proposed, the West Lake
Street Ravine and the Northwest DIversion. The West Lake Street Ravine project focuses
on correcting the erosion problem in the ravine by mstallmg a storm pipe, filling in the
ravme, and removmg sediment from Llly Lake The Northwest Diversion diverts water
away from Ldy Lake by capturmg the first stage of a raInfall event mto a small detention
pond and mto the existing force mam on Brick Street The estimated cost for these
Improvements is $213,000.00
The first phase of this project would be funded through an area wide assessment. The
assessment area would be the watersheds of the Lake Street ravine and the Northwest
DIversIOn (See attached map). This amounts to an assessable area of approXImately 115
acres This area mcludes shoreline properties along Lily Lake, which was added to
replace the shoreline frontage assessment, as discussed in the feasIbihty report At an
assessment ra!e of $0 045 per square foot, this would provide a sum of $225,000 to fund
the project This would be a one-time assessment to the residents for this proJect and any
. future water qualIty improvements to Lily Lake.
t
The Comprehensive Lake Protection Plan details future phases that would be completed .
over the next five years Other areas of the watershed would be assessed in the future as
well. Future phases might include:
1 Greeley/Church1l1 DIversion.
2. Pme Tree Trml Diversion.
3. West Ohve Street Storm Sewer DIversIon
4. HIghway 36 Storm Sewer Diversion.
5 Feeley's Pond Excavation.
6 Trotter Court Ravine Repair.
7. Benson RaVIne Repair
8 Linson CIrcle Storm Sewer Improvement
9 Everett/Orleans Storm Improvements.
The plan also includes maintenance and education activities that the CIty should proceed
With Immediately. The total cost of the Llly Lake Protection Plan could approach
$1,200,00.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Staff recommends that CouncIl adopt the report submltted by Bonestroo as the Llly
Lake ComprehensIve Lake Protection Plan
.
2 Staff recommends that Councll hold the reqUIred Pubhc Hearing, and if Council
desIres they should pass a resolution dIrecting the engmeer to prepare plans and
speCIfications.
ACTION REOUlRED
If Council wishes to proceed With the project, they should pass a motion adopting

RE:
Lily Lake Water Quality ProJect
FeasIbility Report
Project 9613
DISCUSSION
At the last Council meeting, an update was given on the status of the Lily Lake water Quality ProJect
Council directed staff, to develop a funding mechanism for the project. The project focuses on four
areas around Lily Lake that would eventually Improve the water quality of Lily Lake. These areas
include Pine Tree Trail Diversion, the Greeley/Church1l1 Diversion and Treatment Pond, Lake Street
Ravme, and the Northwest Diversion and Treatment Pond The prehminary estimate for these four
improvements came to $640,000. Since the cost of the project was more than expected, it was deCIded
to separate the project into three phases in order to ease cost in constructing the project. The first phase
consists of constructing the Lake Street Ravine and the Northwest DiversIOn and Treatment Pond
portions of the project. The second and thIrd phase would be constructed in the next few years.
The table below shows the cost breakdown of each project for each phase
Phase 1

PROJECT FINANCING
There are a few different sources the City can utilize to fund this project. These options include
assessments, State Aid assistance, grants, and the storm water utility fund. It is proposed that there be
two different types of assessments for the project, a frontage assessment and an area assessment. A
frontage assessment would consist of charging a rate of $5 .00 per lineal foot of shorehne frontage
around Lily Lake. There is 5760 lineal feet of shoreline for an assessed amount of$28,800.00. An area
assessment would charge a rate of $0.045 per square foot of contributing area to the project. For phase .
1, the total contributing area is approximately 89 acres, which amount to $174,500.00. Phase 2 would
yield no assessments since a portion of this drainage area is included in the phase I project. Phase 3 has
approximately 13.4 acres, which amounts to $26,285.00 in area assessments
State Aid has indicated to us that they will fund 55% of all project costs to the project except for the
Pine Tree Trail Diversion. This would account for $312,40000 of the project costs.
.
For phase 1 of the project, it is proposed that the project be funded usmg the amounts the from the area
and shorehne frontage assessment This would provIde a sum of $203,000.00 to fund the project.
The table below shows a summary of the assessment for each phase of the project:

funds not used from State Aid be banked and used to offset the costs of the other two projects Any
difference to fund the remaIning two phases would be made up through the storm water utility funds or
could be combined in the cost for future street improvements These amounts will become more
available when the project approaches construction.

Lily Lake
Expanded Feasibility Study
Stillwater, Minnesota
Executive Summary
In May of 1996 a feasibility study of the Lily Lake Storm Water
Treatment optIOns for the removal of excess nutrient loadmg was
completed by Short EllIott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) and submitted to the
CIty Council and staff for theIr review. It was subsequently
recommended and authorized by the Council to expand the ~ay 1996
feaSIbilIty study and consider In greater detail vanous alternates as
outlmed in the attached minutes of a meeting held on June 3, 1996, with
the Lily Lake CItizens group (see AppendIx).
Three considerations, or elements, are to be reviewed In the expanded .
feasIbility study. They include:
· The Northwest pumped diversion and erosion control which proVIdes
treatment and settlement of sedIment from runoff generated witlun
the PIne Street drainageshed pnor to being dIscharged to Llly Lake.
· The Churchill Street dIversion and treatment system which involves
redirecting the storm water generated from the Churchill Street area
to the St. Croix River.
· Pumped dIversion of waters from the Brick Pond system which
involves pumping water between rainfall events utihzing city storm
sewers, the Myrtle Street ravine, and ultimately to the St. Croix River.
ReVIew of each element was conducted Independently of each other, and
the ultimate outcome of the study is dependent upon availability of funds
and grant monies which can be obtained.
AddItionally, the expanded feasibility study will investigate aVailable
grant and loan programs available from federal, state, county, and SpecIal
purpose government units for this project. The intention is to identify
available funds for the works recommended and develop the criterIa
necessary for obtaming grant or loan funding.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
Review of the cost comparison of Llly Lake treatment alternatIves
(Table 1) indicates the most vIable optIon for discharge treatment, both
10 terms of cost-effectiveness and nutrient 10ad1Og removal, is the
Northwest Storm Water Diversion Detention Pond Option Further, as
noted 10 the earher study dated May 1996, preventIve measures (such as
reduction in loadIngs generated through citizen awareness) continue to be
the leadmg source of reductIOn in nutrient loadmgs
Recommendations
SEH thereby recommends that the following alternates and actions take
place as the most benefit of the alternates conSIdered.
A. Construct the Northwest Storm Water DIversIOn Detentlon Pond
Optlon WIth a grand total estimated present value and hfe cycle cost
of $104,791, and the ChurchIll Street Diversion South with a total
estlmated constructIon cost of $97,100.
B. PrOVIde erosion control and extension of the eXisting 24-inch
dIameter outlet on Lake Street from Greeley Street to Lily Lake WIth
an estimated construction cost of $49,900.
C. Create a comprehensIve educational program with primary
involvement of the lakeshore homeowners.

Northwest Storm Water Diversion and Treatment.
System
Storm water runoff generated by the South Bnck Street sub-watershed
would be dIverted from the main body of the lake Into eIther a separate
basin constructed along the shores of Llly Lake dIrectly adJacent to the
existing lake level pumpmg facIlIty or mto a new dIverSIOn structure to
be located within the nght-of-way of South Bnck Street In the first
alternative, the existing 48-mch dIameter storm sewer currently
dischargmg into the lake would be dIverted through the use of a manhole
located approximately 45 feet south of the edge of pavement of South
Bnck Street Just pnor to the edge of the eXIStIng lakeshore ThIS structure
would be a SIx-foot diameter precast concrete manhole that would
dIscharge small and moderate runoff events mto a proposed 0 11 acre-
foot sedImentatIOn basm.
The excavated basm would be constructed from filter fabnc and riprap
and would serve as a sedImentatIon basin and holdIng pond The eXIsting
intake structure to the pumping station would be relocated into the
sedImentation basm so that dIscharge waters would be taken from the
sedImentation basin on a "first flush" basIS The eXIsting ten-inch
forcemam would contmue to be utIlIzed along South Brick Street,
however, the tenmnation pOint would no longer be mto the eXIsting
24-inch dIameter sewer at C.S A.H. 12 (Myrtle Street). .
The new dIscharge point would be mto a proposed 0.43 acre-foot
sedImentation basm adjacent to the west nght-of-way of South Bnck,
Street approximately 250 feet south of the C.S.A.H 12 right-of way.
ThIS basin would be located on the WMIN radIo tower property and
would discharge mto the adJacent wetland and ultImately into the road
ditch drainage system for C.S.A.H 12 The purpose of the baSin is to
capture any sand and/or sedIment that is potentially discharged into Lily
Lake and subsequently dIscharged through the pumping system described
above Further, by creatIng this basm in the locatIon noted, the mlets
located on South Brick Street at C.S.A H 12 will not be subject to
surcharge whenever the pumping system is in use. This w1l1 relieve an
existing drainage problem at the southeast comer of the intersectIon.
There is under conSIderatIon an alternate to the proposed sedimentation
basin on the existing lake shore.
In the event It is not pOSSIble to construct the lakeshore sedImentation
basin because of property acquisition problems, the second alternative
would be to construct a dIversion manhole on the existing 48-inch
dIameter storm sewer adJacent to the edge of pavement of South Bnck
Street. This structure would COnsIst of a precast 8-foot dIameter manhole
with cover and large access castings to allow for periOdIC mamtenance .
The low flow would then be diverted mto the pumping facility with
dIscharge the same as noted above for the shorehne basin The existing

.
48-mch sewer mto Llly Lake would contmue to convey hIgh flows mto
the lake. Again, a "first flush" treatment IS achIeved This structure
would have a large sump to collect sand and sedIment dUrIng rainfall or
melt-off events
The purpose of eIther faCIlIty, the shorehne sedImentatIOn basm or the
dIVersIOn manhole, IS to provIde a collectIon pomt for sedIment and
would requIre frequent maintenance The larger capacIty of the shorelme
facllIty IS the preferable chOIce, provIded that access IS accommodated
through an access driveway from South BrIck Street The shorebne
facIhty would be typically maintained WIth a CIty-owned rubber-tired
backhoe RoutIne maintenance in the dIversion manhole would, of
necessIty, be much more frequent and would reqUIre specialIty
equIpment.
No Improvements to the lake level pumpmg facihty are conSIdered at this
time. However, when normal mamtenance reqUIres maJor overhaul or
parts replacement of the pump or impeller, then mcreasing the pumpmg
capaCIty through the use of a larger Impeller could be conSIdered
Fmally, It has been proposed that a dIversion manhole and storm sewer
be constructed along Lake Dnve for approximately 450 Imeal feet This
routmg of the eXlstmg Lake Dnve dIscharge pIpe would further dIvert
storm water through the proposed facIhty and into the pumpmg faclbty
pnor to entenng Lily Lake.
SEH was further requested to reVIew the alternative of routIng the
dIscharge of storm water from the corners of Bnck and Oak Streets and
Bnck and Ohve Streets directly north to the proposed sedImentatIon basm
on the west nght-of-way of South Brick Street. After reVIew of the
eXIsting topography m the area it was detennined that the natural gradIent
of the area is uphill, approximately 10 feet vertIcally from a potentIal
connection pomt to the discharge point at the proposed sedImentatIon
pond. Additionally, the drainageshed served by thIS system IS
approximately 73 acres m SIze, and the ten-year storm water flow IS
approximately 112 cfs with an assumed time of concentration of
30 mmutes. A flow of this size would require a mlmmum 48-mch
dIameter sewer and would not provide for an emergency l00-year flood
route. Further, the detention facility proposed along South Brick Street
would have to be dramatically increased in size to accommodate the
addItional inflow from this dIversion. This concept wdl not allow for
gravity flow and due to flow quantity consideratIons noted above, thIs
alternate will no longer be considered in this study.

Churchill Street Diversion .
Under tms alternatIve, the storm water that currently dIscharges mto LIly
Lake from the ChurchiJI sub-watershed wIll be dIrected to the St CroIx
RIver utIhzing one of three eXIstmg routes. The first routmg IS through
eXIstmg storm sewers WhiCh ultImately termmate on Nelson Street and
then mto the St Croix RIver. Storm water would be diverted from
Greeley Street, WIth a new sewer constructed along WIllard Street to the
eXIstmg system at Martha Street EXIstmg sewers 10 tms entue area are
designed with a desIgn capaCIty equal to a five-year rainfall event The
eXIstmg sewer at Martha Street IS a I5-mch dIameter sewer WhICh IS
estImated to have a reserve capacIty of 10 percent Accordmgly, It IS
estImated that approximately 0.5 cfs of dIverted storm water could be
discharged mto thIS system dunng a low flow rainfall event
The second dIverSIon routIng IS along Greeley Street to Ramsey Street
and mto the Myrtle Street Ravme Tms system would dIscharge mto an
eXIstmg I8-mch dIameter sewer at the mtersectIon of Myrtle Street and
FIfth Street Then the flow IS through eXIStIng sewers along Myrtle Street
to the St CrOIX RIver. Agam, the amount of reserve capaCIty in the
eXIstmg system IS mmlmal
The final routIng that was conSIdered for storm water dIverSIon from the
Greeley Street sub-watershed IS through the eXIst.mg 15-1Och storm sewer.
located at the mtersectIon of West Oak Street and Holcombe Street The
system then proceeds along Olive Street to ThIrd Street to Chestnut Street
and ultimately to Myrtle Street with dIscharge to the St CroIx RIver
As 10 all the dIverSIOn routIngs, eXIStIng capacity of the system is
determmed by the SIze and gradIent of the sewer at the mItIal pomt of
ConnectIon It IS assumed that these sewers were deSIgned to convey the
eqUIvalent of a five-year storm event from theIr respectIve watershed, and
it IS estImated that 10 percent reserve capacity IS available for the
chversion of storm water Into the system without increasing the size of the
existing sewers Accorchngly, unless the entlre reach of storm sewer from
the connectIOn pOInt to the St. Croix RIver is reconstructed to
accommodate the dIverted flows, only extremely low flow storm events
could be dIverted through any of the existmg routes The more Intense
storm events will still requIre dIscharge Into Lily Lake
Further, review of as-built drawmgs for the various systems descnbed
above detennined that a ridge exists m the general area of Pme Street to
Olive Street to Greeley Street to Holcombe Street. This ndge would
preclude the constructIon of new sewers due to exceSSIve depth necessary
to prOVIde gravity flow. Pumpmg of storm water IS not conSIdered
because of the deSIgn constraInts necessary to handle hIgh storm
frequency events. .

Both partIal and complete dIversIon have been consIdered WIth the study.
InitIal storm water dIscharges conta1O the lughest nutnent concentratIons,
therefore, a low flow system could be consIdered to dIvert the ImtIal
runoff to the system HeaVIer flows would stIll draJ.n 1Oto the lake proper
Tlus would be accomplished through the constructIOn of a weIr deVIce 10
Greeley Street, and then the constructIon of a 12-1Och dIameter sewer
from the pomt of dIscharge in a route that parallels the eXIst10g sewer
system to the Myrtle Street Rav10e The eXIstIng detention facilIty at the
downstream end of the rav10e would then be expanded to accommodate
the addItIonal dIverted dIscharge No further changes to the rema10ing
sewer system would be reqUIred
It IS recommended, however, that regardless If dIversion IS conSIdered 10
thIS area, attentIon should be gIven to the erosion problem at the
dIscharge po1Ot of the 24-mch dIameter sewer eXIting from Greeley
Street. A sIgmficant erOSIon problem eXIsts 10 tlus area that produces
lugh sedIment loadIngs 1Oto Lily Lake It IS therefore recommended that
the 24-inch dIameter sewer be extended to the lake WIth protective end
sectIons and erOSIOn control systems This work should be done whether
complete or partIal dIverSIOn IS completed. The SIde bank erQSIon should
be stabihzed through filhng and other protectIve measures
Prehnunary estImates of the cost to construct a partially-dIverted system
have been hnuted to the cost for the least costly alternative wluch is the
Greeley Street extenSIOn through the Myrtle Street Ravme Further, thIS
work will be completed only when Greeley Street IS reconstructed several
years from now The eXIstIng system IS assumed to have been designed
on a fIve-year storm water event and, accord1Ogly, would need to be
increased to a ten-year storm event plus the amount of water diverted.
The eXiStIng 24-1Och dIameter sewer that dIscharges 1Oto Lily Lake is
assumed to flow full at a velocity of 5 fps. Therefore, the capaCIty of the
sewer would convey approximately 16 cfs, and tlus IS the flow that would
need to be dIverted. The eXlStIng ravine at the pomt of discharge into
Lily Lake would have to be filled, regraded, and appropriate erosion
control steps taken This rav10e would stIll functIon as an emergency
hIgh water overflow for the eXIstIng storm sewer system.

Polishing a Gem
.
LIly Lake, once called a treasure, has gone from pristine to polluted
over the past 40 years. Now the City Council has approved an ordinance
that may reduce the amount of phosphorus In stonn-water runoff.
Bill F'1erke learned about LIly Lake m
Stall water wben some friends
dropped by to show oIf a stnnger of
basS and a 9-pound walleye
Tbat was back m the late 195Os,
and Flerke, who bad been m Sbllwater
about a year, cbdn't
even know tbe lake By MARy
eJ:lsted "These DMNE
friends showed me
wbat a gem It IS," be ST ^~~
said "It IS Just a WRITeR
treasure "
Flerke, who laved north of the lake,
went to take a look for bunself He
ended up paYlDg '4,500 for the last
avaJIable lakeshore lot "At that bme,
tbat was an astounding amount of
money," he laughs "I sat up all mgbt,
wondermg what I bad done "
When Flerke aDd Ins faUllly moved
mto their Owens Street home m 1960,
LlIy Lake was collSldered one of the
clearest and deepest lakes In the
metropolatan area
In the family's home moVies of that
era, daughter Susan can be seen swlm-
mmg "way under water," be says Now
tbe lake bas deteriorated to such a
degree tbat It Is not considered
"swunmable" by the Mumesota PoIlu-
bon Control Agency
Most of the problems stem from the
large amount of storm water that bas
been flOWing Into the lake tbrougb
dralDage pipes and brIDging large
amounts of phosphorus and sediment
With It, he says
For the past few years, Flerke and
another De1gbbor, Del Peterson, bave
been leadmg an effort to clean up Lily
Lake Tbelr committee, Save Lily

to estabbsb a ferbllzer ordmance and

Tbe ordinance makes sense, says
Flerke Because the CIty plBllS to spend
money to remove the pbospborus,
"Isn't It kmd of foobsb for people to

Fertlhzers generally contam some
phospborus, but tbe nutrient IS not

"Wbat I don't expect at all IS the
fertlhzer Gestapo to come out and
arrest people," he SlId "What I see It
dOlDg IS simply havlDg a velncle to
educate people about the lSSI1e "
Jack Evert, a LIly Lake I'esldent who
has tested tbe lake's water quahty
annually SInce 1981, knows fIrSthand
bow lDlportant the l8BUe IS He regular-
ly cbps a Secclu dlSk, a wlute metal

"In the last few years, by the first of
May, we've got tins stinky, sluny weed
all over the lake," be says "It's Just
nuserable It looks hke It'S a polluted
cesspool "
About 285 pounds of phospborus
enter the lake annually, a figure that IS
mucb too blgb, acconl1ng to Flerke
ReduclDg tbat number 40 percent
would dramatically Improve the lake's
water quahty
"It may not return to one of the
clearest lakes m the metro or be m the
pnstme COndJ.bon It was, but It could
one day be attractive and swunmable
agam," Flerke SlId ''The reason for all
our acbVltles IS Just that the lake was
so mce m the 19608 If It bad never
been mce, we would have Just SlId, 'Ob

The City IS collSldenng other mea-
sures to lDlprove the lake's water qual_
Ity, mclucbng batcb treatments WIth
chewcal PTeC1pltants such as alum and
mod1fymg ~ storm-water ponds
Tbe City Council l'eCenUy adorted a
resolution accepting a proposa from
Bonestrno, Rosene, Andei'1Ik and Aaso-
ClItes for l'eV1ew and re-evaluabon of
water-quahty Improvements to Lily

The '12,800 study, winch bas a May
31 deadlme, would update a 1998 feasJ-
blbty study conducted on Lily Lake,
Knesel SlId "It's been three years or
more smce we've done a study, and
there may be tecluucal advancements

bndge also must be collSldered, he SlId
The transportation department plBllS to
take runoff water to another retention
system, a plan that could eventually
also Improve the lake's water quality
Peterson, for one, IS )lIISIung for the
creation of more stonn-water ponds
around the lake to help remove pollu-
tants "In the old days. you'd have ram
falluur on a BJ'aSSY field and It would
percolate through the sod, leavmg the
pbospborus on tbe surface:' Peterson
S81d "Now, we have parlang lots and
streets that are lID)lerV1OIIS It acceler-
ates the process and the (phosphorus)
goes ngbt mto the lake"
He and Flerke stress that the Lily
Lake cleanup effort will benefit the
entire City, not Just lake-area l'eSldents
About a tIurd of the land around the
lake Is owned by the CIty, and that land
lDcludes a flslnng pier, a SWlDUDlDg
beach and a 1arge park.
"I Just don't tIunk, m recent years,
people have used It as much as they
have m the past," SlId Peterson "We
see It as a pretty mexpeIISlVe solubon
for ImprovlDg tbe water quabty for
sWlmmlDg, as opposed to bullcbng a

Executive Summary
In May, 1996, a study was completed that assessed eXIstmg watershed and lake
condItIons for Llly Lake and recommended several alternatIves to reduce watershed
pollutant loadmgs to Improve water quahty Smce that study was completed, several
changes have occurred or been proposed that would alter the Llly Lake watershed The
CIty CouncIl has expressed an interest in assessing the Impact of these pOSSIble changes
on water quahty m Llly Lake. In addItion, they have requested that the water quahty
management strategy outhned m the 1996 report be revIewed and supplemented where
deSIrable ThIS report summarizes the results of those mvestIgations
For lakes WIthm thIs regIon, a summer mean concentratIOn total phosphorus
concentratlOn of 40 parts per bllhon (ppb) IS conSIdered the upper hmIt for water qualIty
suffiCIent to support swimmmg HIstorical water qUalIty data collected smce 1995 show
that With the exceptIOn of 1997, mean phosphorus concentrations for the May-September
recreatIon season have been above the 40 ppb threshold
The 1996 SEH report recommended two proJects, the Northwest DIversIOn/Treatment
System and the ChurchIll Street DiversIOn/Treatment System, to reduce phosphorus
loadmg from the watershed To achIeve the 40 ppb m-Iake goal, addItional watershed
load reductIons Will be necessary The follOWing addItIonal load reduction measures are
recommended
1 Support the interception and diversion of runoff from the Highway 36 right-
of-way and Oak Park Heights out of the Lily Lake watershed Tms proJect
would be Implemented by the Mn Department of TransportatIon as part of a larger
proJect to reconstruct HIghway 36. Costs to the CIty of StIllwater for thIS proJect
component are unknown at thIS time but are expected to be very low. Phosphorus
loadmg to Llly Lake would be decreased by 13 pounds/year, about 12 percent of
the load reductIon necessary.
2 Construct the West Olive Street Diversion and Treatment System ThIs
project would reduce the area drmmng directly to Llly Lake through the South
Bnck Street storm sewer by about 42 acres The dIverSIon would reduce
phosphorus loadmg to Llly Lake by at least 20 pounds/year (about 24 percent of
the load reductIon necessary) at an estimated cost of$158,OOO

.
In addItion to the watershed proJects IdentIfied above, the folloWing actIons aimed at
addressmg management Issues Within the lake Itself are recommended'
1 Develop an aquatic plant management strategy The goal of this strategy
would be to mlmmlze the use of herbICIdes to manage aquatic weeds wIthIn the
lake The cost to conduct the necessary inventory and develop the strategy IS
$4,200
2 Complete an assessment of the potential for internal nutrient recycling. The
assessment would help determine If recychng of phosphorus withm the lake IS
occurring and whether It needs to be controlled to maximIze the effectIveness of
the watershed management measures The cost to conduct the assessment would
be $2,000
3 If necessary, carry out an alum treatment for Lily Lake and/or the Brick
Pond system. The need for and scope of an alum treatment of Llly Lake would be
based largely on the results of the mternal nutrient recychng assessment The
total cost of the treatment would be $18,000-$30,000 dependIng on how much of
the lake IS treated If further actIOns are needed to reduce phosphorus loadings
from the Bnck Pond system, the CIty could consider penodlc alum treatments of
the ponds themselves The cost of each treatment IS estImated at $3,000-$6,000
.
Fmally, the follOWing on-gomg measures are recommended
1 Implement a yearly public education campaign and spring/fall street
sweeping in the Lily Lake watershed To maximize cost-effectIveness, these
activIties should focus on those parts of the watershed that drain directly to the
lake
2 Continue monitoring of the lake through the Met Council's Citizen Assisted
Monitoring Program. The objective of this actIVIty Will be to contmue to bulld a
long-term record of water qUalIty data that can be used to track changes m the
lake's condition

Introduction
In May 1996, SEH completed a study that assessed eXistmg watershed and lake
conditIons for Lily Lake and recommended several alternatives to reduce watershed
pollutant loadmgs to Improve water quahty. Smce that study was completed, several
changes have occurred or been proposed that would alter the nature of the LIly Lake
watershed The City Councll has expressed an mterest m assessmg the impact of these
changed condItions on Llly Lake water qUality In addition, they have requested that the
water quahty management strategy outlined m the 1996 report be revIewed and
supplemented where deSirable This report summanzes the results of the reVIew
II. Background
.
Llly Lake is a 48-acre water body located m south central Stillwater With a maximum and
mean depth of 47 and 15 feet, respectIvely The lake is a central part of a maJor pubhc
recreatIonal complex for the CIty. Water-based recreational facIhtIes mclude a
sWImmmg beach supervised by hfe guards, boat ramp, fishmg pIer, and pIcmc area
Adjacent recreatiOnal facihties - mcludmg an Ice arena, ball fields, tenniS courts, and a
basketball court - supplement the lake-onented facllitIes The City of Stillwater owns
about one-tmrd of the shorehne on the southern and southeast boundary of the lake,
approximately half of wmch has been kept m a natural condItion The remamder of the
shorehne IS developed for reSidential uses.
Data collected on Llly Lake through the Metropohtan Councll' S CItizen ASSIsted
Momtonng Program (CAMP) provides the best mstoncal mformatIOn on water
chemlstry, water clarity, phYSIcal condItion, and recreatIOnal sUltabIhty of the lake ThIS
data has been collected bi-weekly between late Apnl and mid-October smce 1995 It IS
the only data set avmlable for Lily Lake that provides recreatIon season values for the
three key parameters - total phosphorus, chlorophyll a, and water clanty - most helpful
m assessmg aesthetIC and recreational sUltabIhty Phosphorus concentrations are
important because the availabIhty of thIs plant nutnent often controls the amount of algae
growth m an aquatiC ecosystem The amount of algal growth (expressed as chlorophyll
"a" concentration) strongly Influences the clarity of the water. Water clarity IS a key
phYSICal parameter affectmg perceptIons of the sUltabIhty of a lake for recreatIon In
general, higher phosphorus concentrations cause more algal growth, WhICh decreases
water clarity As clanty decreases, human perceptions of the sUltabihty of the lake for
recreational use also drop Thus, all three parameters prOVide Important information on
the condItIon of a lake
.
A summary of data collected from Lily Lake through CAMP IS presented in Table I For
lakes Within the ecoregion of WhICh the TWInS CIties metro area IS a part, a summer mean
total phosphorus concentratIOn of 40 parts per bllhon (Ppb) IS conSIdered the upper lImit
for water qualIty suffiCIent to support swimmmg Above thIs threshold, phosphorus
concentrations result m relatIvely mgh frequenCies of algal blooms that Impair sWImmmg
and aesthetIcs for sIgmficant portlons of the summer recreation season. Histoncal data

III. Proposed Watershed Management Strategy
In theIr 1996 report, SEH summanzed the results of a technIcal assessment of the Llly
Lake watershed The assessment used a computer modelmg approach to determme
phosphorus loadmgs to LIly Lake under eXIsting watershed conditions and set load
reductIon goals The analysIs produced several Important findmgs
. To achieve sufficient water clanty to support sWlmmmg for at least 75 percent of the
summer, the goal for average summer m-Iake phosphorus concentratIOns m Llly Lake
should be 40 ppb
. In order to achieve thiS goal, a redUCTIon of approximately 66 pounds m average
annual phosphorus loadmg from the watershed Wlll be necessary
. SIgnificant phosphorus load reductIons can be achieved by dIverting runoff from that
area of the watershed that normally drams dIrectly to the lake (i e. WithOUt travehng
through mtervemng ponds for setthng)
. Currently, the highest phosphorus loadmg to Lily Lake enters through the Brick Pond
system southeast of the lake The concentration of phosphorus entering LIly Lake
through the Bnck Pond system IS relatIvely low because upstream setthng ponds have
already treated the water Significant reductions m phosphorus loadmg to the lake
from thIS sub-watershed may be dIfficult to achIeve usmg conventIonal measures
In general, the watershed modeling approach and phosphorus load redUCTIon strategy
conducted by SEH are sound Both the Northwest dIverSIOn/treatment project and the
Churchill Street diversion/treatment proJect are designed to mtercept and treat runoff

.
carrymg high concentratiOns of pollutants before that runoff reaches Lily Lake The only
other sIgmficant watershed load reduction measure proposed in the SEH report was an
alum dosmg statIon to treat InflOWS to the South Bnck Pond
Recent expenence wIth alum dosmg to treat stormwater InflOWS suggests thIS alternatIve
should be consIdered only as a last resort. FIrst, ImtIaI capItal costs of the system are
large Second, recently developed regulatory pohcy Will hkely reqUIre constructIOn of a
pond to capture and settle out floc generated by the alum treatment pnor to release of the
treated water to South Bnck Pond, a state protected water Because thIS feature is not
mcluded m the ongmal cost estimate for the alum treatment system for Bnck Pond,
constructIon costs would be sIgmficantly greater than those presented m the SEH report
ThIrd, operation and mamtenance would be an on-gomg and sIgmficant annual cost as
long as the station IS operated Based on recent expenence m the CIty of Eagan, annual
operatmg costs for alum, electncIty, and general maintenance IS estImated at a mimmum
of $5,000-$7,OOO/year for the Bnck Pond treatment system. Fmally, data showmg the
actual effectIveness, Impacts, and costs for inflow treatments using alum are lacking for
thIs chmatIc regIon At least two proJects are currently underway m the Metro area that
Will generate thIS mformatIon over the next 2-4 years It may be prudent to postpone any
further consIderatIOn of the Bnck Pond alum treatment system untIl results from these
proJects are aVailable and the response of Llly Lake to the watershed treatment
alternatIves proposed IS determmed
.
IV. Additional Watershed Load Reduction Options
Excluding the alum treatment proposal for InflOWS to South Bnck Pond, the watershed
management strategy proposed by SEH achIeves 80 percent of the targeted phosphorus
load reductIon goal for Llly Lake However, two other options hold promIse for helpmg
meet the phosphorus load reductIon goal for Llly Lake These optIons are descnbed
below
A HIghway 36 DIverSIOn
.
One proposal that has come to hght smce the SEH study was completed IS the dIversiOn
of runoff from areas m the southern portion of the Lily Lake watershed The diverSIOn
would be accomphshed by the Mmnesota Department of TransportatIon (MnDOT) as
part of a project to upgrade the HIghway 36 corridor along StIllwater's southern
boundary With Oak Park HeIghts The most likely scenano would involve the
mterceptIon and dIverSiOn of runoff from approxImately 28 acres of Highway 36 nght-of-
way (ROW) and Oak Park HeIghts It IS also possIble that runoff from an addItiOnal 21 7
acres m Oak Park HeIghts could be re-routed out of the Llly Lake watershed Ultimate
land use withm these areas IS a combmatIOn of hIghway (ROW), reSIdential, park, and
commerCIal In each case, the runoff would be conveyed to a pondmg system within
MnDOT ROW for treatment before eventual release to the St. Croix River. Based on
conversations With MnDOT staff, detailed deSIgns for the HIghway 36 reconstructIOn are
expected to begm m 2000 and construction could begm as early as 2003
Ldy Lake Water Quahty Improvement ReView

.
Both scenarios would reduce phosphorus loadmg to Lily Lake from the Brick Pond sub-
watershed DIVersIOn of runoff from the HIghway 36 ROW alone would reduce
phosphorus loadmg to Lily Lake by Just under 7 pounds/yr If the runoff from the
addItIonal land WIthm Oak Park HeIghts IS also dIverted, loadmg to Llly Lake would be
reduced by an addItIOnal 6 pounds/year for a total reduction of 13 pounds/yr
The effect of the dIversIOn m reducmg phosphorus concentratIons m Llly Lake IS
expected to be POSItIve but not dramatic The water carrymg the phosphorus load Will
also be dIverted out of the Llly Lake dramage In addItIon, this runoff IS already treated
to some degree before It reaches Lily Lake Both factors mute the effect of the dIversIon
on the lake StIll, modelIng mdIcates that the proposed dIversIOns would result m a slIght
Improvement m water qualIty m LIly Lake Further, any reductIon m phosphorus load to
Lily Lake IS advantageous because It reduces the amount of phosphorus that Will reach
and be retamed by the lake and possIbly recycled internally m the future Fmally, the
CIty of StIllwater's share of cost for the dIverSIOn IS bkely to be very low Costs for the
dIverSIon WIll bkely be allocated based on the amount of runoff contrIbuted from land
under each of the government JurlsdIctIOns m the project area GIven that most of the
runoff camed In the dIverSIOn arIses eIther m the MnDOT ROW for HIghway 36 or m
Oak Park HeIghts, StIllwater's cost allocatIOn is expected to be mmrmal In summary,
gIven the dIfficulty of reducmg phosphorus loads from the BrIck Pond sub-watershed and
the expected low cost to Stlllwater of achIevmg the load reductIons, these watershed
modIficatIOns should be supported
.
B
West Obve Street DIverSIon
An excellent alternatIve for achIevmg further SIgnIficant reductions m phosphorus
loadmg to Lily Lake IS to dIVert a portIon of the flow entenng the lake from the duect
dramage m the lake's northwest comer Runoff collected by the storm sewer system m
West Obve Street would be mtercepted at the West Obve Street/Seely Street mtersection
and conveyed east to the West Obve/South Bnck Street mtersectIon, then north to the
County State AId HIghway (CSAH)12/South Bnck Street intersectIon The proposal
would mvolve modIficatIOn and use of a portIon of an eXIsting wetland south of CSAH
12 and west of South Bnck Street to treat thIs water before release to an eXIstmg dItch
along the south SIde of CSAH 12 The dIscharge would then travel to a large wetland
complex, where It would move northward and eventually reach McKuSICk Lake
Treatment of the dIverted water m the proposed pond west of the intersectIon of CSAH
12 and South BrIck Street WIll assure that the dIscharge has virtually no adverse Impact
on water qUalIty m McKusIck Lake The total cost for the dIverSIOn IS estImated at about
$158,000 (AppendIx A) A schematIc draWing for the proposed dIVerSIOn IS shown m
FIgure 1
The proposed dIverSIOn would reduce the area dIschargmg runoff to Llly Lake through
the South Bnck Street storm sewer from 108 acres to 66 acres for most runoff events
The dIverSIOn would reduce loadmg to Llly Lake by at least 20 pounds/year

The load reductIOns from the HIghway 36 dIversion as well as the West Ohve Street
dIversIOn, combined With the load reductions for the Northwest and ChurchIll Street
proJects, Will be sufficient to achleve the m-Iake phosphorus goal of 40 ppb
V. Non-Structural Measures to Reduce Watershed Pollutant
Loadings
Non-structural optIons such as spnng and fall street sweepmg and pubhc educatIon are
usually key components of lake water quahty management programs Spnng street
sweepmg efforts are mtended to reduce the amount of matenal accumulated over the
wmter before It IS carned m runoff to a lake, whlle fall sweepmg IS deSIgned to remove
leaf htter Pubhc educatIOn IS deSIgned to promote recogmtIon of the dIrect connection
between the storm drainage system and lakes Education IS also mtended to promote
understandmg by the target audIence of how to keep pollutants such as vegetatIve
matenals, phosphorus-contaImng fertIhzers, and chemlcal wastes off hard surfaces and
out of storm drainage systems feedmg a lake The most cost-effective efforts are dIrected
at those areas that dIscharge dIrectly to the water body of concern These areas typIcally
generate the greatest loadmgs per urnt area m the watershed In addItIon, resIdents WIthm
the areas are usually attuned to the condItIon of the resource and therefore more receptIve
to the educatIon message
.
Street sweepmg can be an effectIve part of a plan to reduce phosphorus loadmgs to an
urban lake If conducted at the nght tIme and m the nght areas The most cntIcal tImes to
conduct sweepmg activItIes are m early spnng to pIck up the winter's accumulatIon of
sohds from street sandmg operations, traffic, etc A second cntIcal penod IS m June after
many trees drop theIr seeds The thIrd cntIcal penod IS m the fall after leaf drop To
maxrmIze cost-effectiveness, sweepmg actIvIties dunng these penods should be
concentrated m the areas of the watershed that drain dIrectly to the lake Recent research
suggests that thIS type of sweepmg program can reduce loadmgs by 8-10% m the areas
swept If a 9% reductIOn IS assumed and the actiVItIes are concentrated on the dIrect
dramage, a load reduction of about 9 pounds of phosphorus could be achIeved. The CIty
of StIllwater has already adjusted street sweepmg operatIons m the LIly dramage to
mcrease benefits to the lake Further refinements in the tImmg of sweepmg and the areas
swept can be made to maxImIze benefits to the lake and should result m httle addItIonal
cost to the CIty
.
Excellent publIc educatIOn matenals are readily aVailable that can be "customIzed" for
LIly Lake WIth the help of volunteers to dIstribute the mformatIOn, the cost of
Implementmg a lImIted publIc educatIon program should be less than $750/year In
addItion, Implementation of the fertIlIzer ordmance by the CIty should raise pubhc
awareness of the need to decrease use of phosphorus fertIhzers where they are not
needed The CIty may also WIsh to conSIder undertaking an effort to promote more '"lake
frIendly" shorelIne management practIces ApproXlmately 50 percent of the shorelme is
comprised of maintained turf DIstnbutIOn of available information on the benefits of
shorelIne buffer stnps and how to mstall one would cost httle and promote good
stewardship of the lake's senSItIve nparian areas

.
If addItional actIOns are necessary to reduce phosphorus loadmgs from the Bnck Pond
subwatershed, one optIon the CIty may Wish to consIder IS the apphcatIOn of alum to all
or a portIon of these ponds The alum would be mtroduced m order to mcrease the
phosphorus removal effiCIency of the Bnck Pond system as incommg water travels
through the ponds The effectIveness of thIS management actIon IS uncertain because of
the relatIvely rapId rate at whIch the water m the pond IS replaced by mcommg water A
permIt from the Mn Department of Natural Resources would be needed before the alum
could be applIed, smce the Bnck Pond IS a state protected water The estimated cost of
each treatment IS $3,000-$6,000 dependmg on the area treated and the dose applIed
VI. In-Lake Management Options
Past lake management planmng efforts for Llly Lake have focused almost exclUSIvely on
reducmg pollutant loadmg from the watershed ThIS should be the hIghest pnonty for
achIevmg and sustaImng water quality Improvements over the long-term However, 10-
lake management technIques may also be Important 10 order to effect desirable changes
10 the sUltabIhty of the lake to support recreatIonal uses and, m some cases, to mcrease
the effectIveness of the watershed management measures
A Aquatic Weed Management
.
Management of submergent aquatic vegetatIon appears to be an Issue of concern to Llly
Lake reSIdents and the CIty Based on a hydrographIc survey of the lake, almost three-
fourths of the lake (38 acres) IS less than or equal to 15 feet deep and capable of
supportmg submergent plant growth
As total phosphorus IS reduced, water clanty generally Improves As a result, hght can
penetrate farther mto the lake In shallow zones, the addItIonal hght can reach more of
the bottom at mtensItIes suffiCIent to support submerged rooted plant growth Because
most submerged aquatIc plants get the maJonty of theIr nutrients from bottom sediments,
efforts to reduce nutrIent concentratIons m the overlymg water column have httle If any
short-term effect m lImItmg submergent growth
Submerged aquatIC plants are an essentIal part of a well-functiomng lake ecosystem The
plants can Improve water clanty even further by preventmg shorehne erOSIOn, stabllIz10g
bottom sedIments, stormg nutrIents needed by algae, and other means However, too
much aquatIC plant growth - espeCIally where the plants reach the surface over a large
proportIon of the lake area - can be a sIgmficant problem as well
.
An exotIC submergent called curly leaf pond weed can greatly exacerbate summer algal
blooms ThIs speCIes grows vIgorously early m the season, reachIng a peak bIOmass in
early to mId-summer It then dIes back, typIcally in June or early July In the process, It
can cause a release of phosphorus to the water column that causes severe algal blooms
that can extend late mto the summer recreatIon season In effect, this plant can act as a
"pump" by extracting phosphorus from the bottom sedIments of the lake through ItS root
system and dehvenng thIs phosphorus to the upper layers of the lake to feed algal

.
productIon when It dIes off A field survey of LIly Lake m Apnl 1999 suggested that
there IS some curly leaf pondweed m Lily Lake, though ItS abundance was dIfficult to
determme
PossIble control strategIes for aquatIc weeds mclude applIcatIOn of aquatIc herbIcIdes and
mechanIcal harvestIng, both of WhICh have been utilIzed m the past In general, the use
of aquatlc herbICIdes IS not recommended as a long-term control strategy on a large-
scale One reason IS that plants kIlled by the herbIcIde dIe and are left to decompose In
the lake The decomposItIOn process can rob the lake of oxygen needed by other
organIsms and cause the release of phosphorus In the tlssues of the plant as well as from
bottom sedIments Tlus m turn can contnbute to algal blooms that further decrease water
clanty Mechanical harvestmg IS more deSIrable because It removes most of the plant
matenal from the lake However, It can be very expenSIve when both the area of control
and the bIomass of the plants to be removed are large It IS also very dIfficult to reach
shallow in-shore areas (less than two feet deep) effectively
.
One control method that may be a feasIble alternative for LIly Lake IS a temporary wmter
drawdown Under thIS management strategy, the water level in the lake would be
reduced m late fall/early Winter by pumpIng Pumpmg could eIther be accomplIshed
through modIficatIOn of the current 11ft statIon outlet to the lake or by the use of a
portable electrIc pump operating WIth the 11ft statIon. The exposed bottom of the lake
would be allowed to freeze Freezmg of bottom sedIments has been shown to effectlvely
control the mCIdence of some types of aquatIC weeds such as curly leaf pondweed The
lake would then be allowed to refill to ItS normal water level With runoff dunng the
succeedmg sprmg An advantage of tlus type of management techmque IS that It can be
effectIVe at preventmg the growth of certam types of weeds from the shallow mshore
areas down to the level of drawdown
GIven the lustory of weed control efforts on Lily Lake, It seems appropnate to mvestIgate
control strategIes for submergent vegetatIOn, espeCIally m shallow m-shore areas where
they can mterfere With access to open water and use of beaches Developmg a control
strategy m turn relIes on an assessment of the type, abundance, and dIstnbutIOn of the
submergent populatIOn m the lake because dIfferent types of weeds are subject to
dIfferent kmds of control measures These surveys are best carned out dunng the heIght
of the grOWing season (June-August) so that Identlfication IS eaSIer and seasonal
succeSSIOn can be tracked Such a survey has not been camed out yet for LIly Lake, but
should be WIth thIS mformatIOn, an aquatIc weed management strategy that may rely
less on aquatIc herbICIdes can be developed The cost to conduct the survey would be
about $1,700, whIle compIlatlon of an aquatic plant management strategy would cost an
addItional $2,500
B. Fllamentous Algae Control
.
Another Issue m Llly Lake IS the formatIOn of floatmg mats of filamentous algae durmg
the summer Generally, these mats form on the bottom of the lake In relatIvely shallow
water. Dunng cold water and lImIted lIght condItions, the remnants of the mats lIe

.
dormant on the bottom of the lake m relatIvely shallow water (usually 4-8 feet) WIth the
onset of warmer water COndItions, they take up nutnents along the sedIment surface on
the bottom of the lake As the mats grow, they generate gases that are trapped WithIn the
plant mass and cause the mass to float to the surface Here, It IS fully exposed to
whatever sun hght IS aVailable dunng the grOWing season and can take advantage of
dIssolved nutrIents m the water column as well to sustain Itself for much of the grOWing
season
Agam, aquatIc herbICIdes have been used m recent years to kIll the algal mats after they
form The doses of aquatIc herbICIde needed to effectIvely control the mats are generally
hIgher than for other types of algae HerbICIde treatments address the symptom, not the
source of the problem Over the long-term, sIgmficantly reducmg the amount of
phosphorus entenng a lake system should eventually reduce or ehmmate filamentous
algal mats ApplIcatIOn of alum m the shallow areas of the lake wlnch generate the algal
mats has been used With some success m the CIty of Eagan to prevent the formatIon of
the mats for multi-year penods The alum IS applIed early m the year (late March or
Apnl) before sIgmficant weed growth can mterfere With dehvery of the alum to the
bottom sedIments Rather than bemg a pOlson that kIlls the algal mat outright, the alum
can be effectIve m makmg phosphorus unavaIlable for uptake by the filamentous mats
dunng theIr bottom dwelhng phase and thereby prevent their development and nse to the
surface
.
C Internal Phosphorus Loadmg
Internal phosphorus loadmg IS the release of phosphorus from bottom sedIments WItlnn
the lake If thIs mternally recycled phosphorus IS mIxed mto the upper layers of the lake,
It can feed algae growth, which adversely affects water clarIty and the swtabIhty of the
lake to support recreational uses Internalloadmg can compromIse the effectIveness of
watershed measures to reduce m-Iake phosphorus concentratIons To date, no data has
been collected on the lake that allow an accurate assessment of mternalloadmg potential
Such samphng is not dIfficult but does reqUIre use of speCIalIzed samplmg equipment at
particular tImes of the year It IS recommended that an assessment of mternalloadmg be
carned out m both the shallow and deep areas of the lake to provide thIs mformatIOn The
estImated cost of the assessment IS $2,500 and Will reqUIre momtonng over a full
recreational season
If mternal loadmg IS IdentIfied as an Issue, apphcatIon of alum to bottom sedIments IS
recommended for reasons identIfied m the SEH report The alum treatment should be
carned out after the watershed measures for the dIrect dramage and control measures for
curlyleaf pondweed (If needed) are Implemented m order to maximIze the length of time
the treatment Will be effective A permIt from the Mn Department of Natural Resources
will be necessary to carry out the treatment

Other Stormwater Management Issues
In addItion to the Issues IdentIfied prevIously 10 this report, several other problem areas
eXIst that the CIty of StIllwater may want to address as part of a watershed-Wide effort to
Improve the management of stormwater These problem areas are descnbed bnefly
below
I Lake Street Ravme Runoff from the ChurchIll Street subwatershed IS currently
dIscharged through a 24" pIpe at the head of thIS rav10e and has caused severe erOSIon
problems Eroded matenal has formed a large delta on the east shore of LIly Lake at
the mouth of the rav10e
2 Everett Dnve Moderate runoff events appear to exceed the capaCIty of the catch
basm located at the mtersectlOn of Everett Dnve and West Orleans Street The excess
flow appears to have hIstoncally overtopped the curb and traveled overland to the
west where It dIscharges to Bnck Pond South AddItIonal catch bas10 capaCIty and
pOSSIbly a larger capaCIty pIpe between the mtersectIOn and the pond may be needed
to resolve the problem
3 Lmson CIrcle Runoff from the Lmson Cucle/West Orleans Street 1OtersectIOn
travels south and collects on the southwest comer of the cul-de-sac, resultmg m
temporary pond1Og condItions that are slow to dISSIpate because of shallow grades
.
4 Trotter Court Ravme ThIS ravme IS located on steep slopes above the south shore of
LIly Lake. The problem appears to be caused by the concentratIOn and dIscharge of
runoff from several backyards at the top of the slope
5. Benson Ravme ThIS large ravme IS located on steep slopes above the southwest
corner of LIly Lake The ravme appears to have been stable for some time and may
have formed due to runoff from cropland pnor to the reSIdential development of the
area
6 Feeley's Pond Feeley's Pond, located Just east of Industnal Boulevard and south of
Curve Crest Boulevard, IS shallow With an abundant growth of cattaIls and other
emergents It appears that VIgorous emergent growth around the outlet of the pond
may be Impedmg dIscharge from the pond and that excavation m the vIc10ity of the
outlet mIght be needed The pond has a total watershed of approXImately 150 acres,
about two-thIrds of whIch IS routed first through upstream ponds
A proJect to stabIhze the Lake Street rav10e has been deSIgned and IS scheduled for
constructIOn thIs year CIty of StIllwater eng1Oeer1Og staff Will be evaluating the
remalmng problem areas in further detail and prOVIdIng cost estImates for correctIve

TO: Mayor and CIty Councll
FROM:
Klayton HEckles JL€ /'
CIty Engmeer
SUBJECT: FeasIbIhty Study on Downtown Decorative Street LIghts
ProJect 9821
CIty Councd has dIrected staff to prepare a feasIbIhty report concemmg the mstallatIon of
decorative hghts along Mmn Street from Nelson to north of Mulberry, and along Chestnut between
Mam Street and the nver It IS proposed that NSP would mstall, own and operate these hghts It
would be the CIty'S responsIbIhty to pay NSP for the ImtIal mstallatIon cost as well as on gomg
electncal costs for the hghts
NSP has prepared a sample agreement that mcludes cost estImates for the project. In
addItion to the costs that NSP w1l1 mcur, there are CIty costs that Will also be mcurred as part of the
proJect The followmg table IS a break down of the total project cost.
TABLE A
Description Cost
58 NSP Installed Decorative LIghtS $166,000.00
RehabIhtate 129 EXIStmg LIghtS 26,000 00
Pamt 129 EXIstmg Poles Top to Bottom 10,000.00
CIty ObhgatIons (5%) 10,100.00
Contmgency (10%) 20,200.00
Engmeenng and Overhead (15%) 30,300.00
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $262,600.00
The total proJect cost of $262,600 00 mcludes the cost ofinstallmg the decorative hghts and
rehabllltatmg eXIstmg overhead hghts The eXIstmg overhead hghts, throughout the entIre
downtown district are m senous need of repamting and reparr NSP gave a separate price for the
completion of thIs work for all of the hghts m the downtown area. The CIty has two options, to
eIther rehabIhtate the eXIstmg overhead hghts and repamt the bottom 10 feet, or rehabihtate the
eXIstmg hghts and pamt the entIre pole The only portIon of the pole that reqUIres pamting is the
lower area that has been damaged by salt and sand operations. However, for an addItional $10,000
the entIre pole would be pamted to allow us to match the pamt color of the decorative hghts
May 28, 1999
The CIty'S assessment pohcy reqUIres that new Improvements be assessed 100% to the
benefitmg propertIes. The CIty generally cost shares on proJects that mvolve reconstructIon or
rehabIhtatIon of eXIstmg utIhtIes In thIs case, the pamtmg and repamng of eXIstmg hghts IS really a
maintenance functIon and therefore It IS recommended that none of these costs be assessed
Therefore, the total CIty'S share for the rehabIhtation and pamtmg of eXlStIng hghts would be
$46,800 ThIs leaves $215,800 00 to be assessed to adJommg property owners The proposed
proJect area mcludes 3494lmear feet of frontage ThIs Yields a cost per foot of$61 76 for
construction of the new decorative hghts There IS approxImately 62 parcels m the proJect area,
therefore an average SIze property would be assessed $3,480 00. These assessments would be
collected over a 10-year With an estImated mterest rate of 6.5%
.
If the downtown busmesses m the proJect area respond favorably to thIs proJect, the project
could be constructed WIthm thIs year's construction season NSP could begm mstallatIon of hght
pole pedestals and reWInng m late summer or early fall, With completion of the proJect by late fall.
The attached draWings show the proposed proJect area as well as a map of the overall downtown
street hght plan. The proJect, as proposed, could be enlarged or reduced dependIng upon mput from
the pubhc or the Councll
RECOMMENDATION:
The proJect as presented IS techmcally and finanClally feasIble and cost-effective. Staff
recommends that Councll accept the report and consIder ordenng a pubhc hearmg for July 6, 1999. .

Stillwater City Council

Stillwater, MN 55082
Council Members,
We the members of the Stillwater Farmers Market would like to introduce ourselves. There are 25 of us.
We sell a variety of home grown and produced products. Seasonal fruits and vegetables, plants, cut
flowers, honey, maple syrup, soaps, and herbs, at our present location in the U.S. Bank parking lot on
Myrtle Street. The Market is open every Saturday from 7:30 to 11 :30 AM, from the second week in June
until the end of October (weather permitting). We have operated at this location for over a decade and
have been a part of Stillwater's cu1tura11andscape for generations.
-Over the last few years, our market has outgrown the lfmited space it now occupies. The number of
members has stayed the same but our growing clientele has had an increasingly difficult time finding
parking around our site. The traffic patterns in and around this neighborhood have increased to the point
that it's just too busy a place to visit conveniently.
Informal discussions with public and private concerns were initiated last year to determine if a more
suitable location for our enterprise could be found. Among the possibilities discovered was the new City
parking lot at the intersection of 3rd and Pine Streets, across from the Old Courthouse. Conversations
with Steven Russell, of the City Planning Commission, indicated that the City may be inclined to grant
permission to use this lot for our Market.
.
As you all know the recent improvements made to this site have made it a charming addition to this
scenic and historic neighborhood. The Market members would appreciate the opportunity to sustain that
heritage as well as their own. The lot has ample space for our vendors and could easily accommodate our
customer's parking needs. .
Our Market would be a "Good Neighbor." We are a quiet and clean group. There is little if any noise
associated with our endeavor. We generate very little trash and always bring it home when we leave. All
of our signs and other displays are portable and unobtrusive; they go home with us as well. The Market
presently has no expansion plans. Any future growth would be dependent on the community's demands.
We look fOlWard to the opportunity to meet with the Council to explore the possibility of ma kin g this site
our new home.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Wendy Kloek

CIty Engmeer
SUBJECT: CIty Response to County Water Govemance Study
DISCUSSION:
.
Because of recent faIlures of Water Management OrgamzatIons m Washington County, the
County Board authorized a Water Governance Study to examine altematIves to the current method
of govemance. Attached is a copy of the executive summary as well as a hst of outcomes of that
study. It should also be noted that I partIcipated on the techmcal adVISOry COmmIttee m the
preparation of thIs study
One of the rmportant findIngs of the report IS that there are too many small water governance
umts WIthm the County. Currently, there are 11 units, wholly or partially withm the County. The
report recommends the restructunng of the boundanes to minimIze the number ofumts, increase the
fiscal capacIty of each, and raIse the level of competence and mvolvement on the part of these
restructured dIStnctS. The techmcal cOmmlttee consIdered options from leavmg the system "as is" to
combming virtually the entire County into one large dIStriCt. The result IS that the technical
committee developed a recommended option that would create three large dIstncts wholly withm tb
County, a South Washington Umt, a Lower St Croix Unit, and a North Washington Umt. In
addItion, where eXIstmg dIstncts crossover from Washmgton County to other counties, those
distncts would remain the same.
.
Overall, I beheve the recommended option will be a pOSItive step for the CIty of Stillwat,
Recommended Option 2B places the City of Stillwater m the North Washington Unit. A pOSIti\
aspect of thIs IS that means that Stillwater would only be in one umt. However, there IS one nef
aspect m that the North Washington Umt will be predominated by townships and rural areas. j
shown on the attached drawing, the North Washington Unit covers areas to the northern bounc
the County including New ScandIa Township. I beheve there is reason for concern m this paT
layout. By includIng Stillwater with all the rural govemmg umts this proposed watershed co
suffer the same problems that the Browns Creek WMO suffered in the earlier day. Recall t}l
phIlosophIcal differences between townships and developed areas brought about the demise
Browns Creek WMO. This issue as also caused problems mother WMOs throughout the c
May 28, 1999
For this reason, I sent a letter to Shem Buss the facIhtator of thIs study that requested they give more .
consideration to Option 2A. ThIs option would create one addItIonal dIStrict known as the Middle
St. CrOIX River Umt that would essentially be the Middle St. CroIx River WMO. It would also
include areas of Stillwater that have been diverted from the Browns Creek Watershed to the Middle
River Watershed The advantage IS that this umt has learned to work together cooperatively and
includes a large portIon of govemance umts that are urban or suburban in nature. The only negative
for thIs option for the CIty would be that a small portIon of the CIty along our extreme north border
would stIll be m the North Washmgton Umt. Under the option we would be subJected to two water
govemmg umts as opposed to one. However, given the low amount of actiVIty that occurs in the
extreme northern area, It may not be a sIgmficant Issue.
I would suggest that Councd may wish to conSIder this issue and If Councd sees Wisdom in
pursumg Option 2A over the option recommended by the techmcal adVISOry committee, Councll
may dIrect staff to prepare a letter to the Washmgton County Board. The content of thIs letter would
be slmllar to the attached letter to Sherri Buss.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Councll dIscuss the two options for redIstnctIng of water management
orgamzations m Washmgton County and prOVIde staffwith drrectIon on the CIty'S pOSItion regardIng
thIs Issue. If Councll has a strong pOSItion on this Issue they may Wish to dIrect staff to send a letter
to WashIngton County as well as other affected communities to gam support for the CIty'S pOSItion.

Executive Summary
The Washington County Board authonzed this study m May, 1998, to
identify and evaluate the best governance structure for water management
from a countywide perspective. The recommendations in the study were
developed by a 25-member Water Govemance Work Group appointed by
the Board, representing all of the interests involved in water management
in the County.
The need for the study was identified after the failure of several jomt
powers Water Management OrganizatIons in the county. Key dIrectives
for the study included the followmg

. Create a water management structure that Will provide long-
term protectIOn for surface and ground water resources;
. Create local water management units with the fiscal capacity
and authonty to govem efficiently and effectively;
. Identify financmg mechanism(s) that are fair and adequate to
meet the needs of the county;
. Coordinate surface water, ground water, land-use and natural
resources management to provIde for a more comprehensIve
approach to resource management;
. Identify the County's role(s) m water management;
. Adopt a pro-actIve, rather than reactIve, approach to county-
wide water governance;
. Increase the accountabIhty of the water management structure.
ThIs report summarizes the findmgs and recommendations of the Work
Group, and the process used to develop these recommendations The
group Identified issues and problems in the eXIsting water management
system, reviewed management structures used in other parts of the Umted
States, IdentIfied system goals and measures of success, and finally
recommended new water management unit boundanes, orgamzatIOnal and
finanCIal elements. Key recommendatIOns include the follOWing:
1 The number of water management umts In the County should be
reduced from eleven to SlX. These include three units that cross
county boundaries (a new Sunrise River unit, and the Rice Creek
and Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed Districts are
unchanged from the eXIsting system) and three new units within
the County (located in North, Middle, and South Washington
County).

2 Each new water management umt should provzde a mzmmum set .
of servzces, to ensure that plannmg zs comprehenszve, and
necessary actzons are taken to prevent or solve water management
problems across the County Water management should be based
on a comprehensive assessment of water and related natural
resources. Water umts should develop comprehensive plans,
develop perfonnance standards for priority water boches, identIfy
and implement water management projects, complete ongomg
monitoring and assessment, and assure CItIzen mvolvement and
public education on water management concerns
3 Local water management umt board members should be
appomted by the County Board CIties and townships should also
have a strong role in the appointment process Appomtments
should be based on standardIzed apphcatIons, mtemews and
cntena Appomtments should strive for balance In phllosophIes,
backgrounds, and geographic dIstnbution among the members on
each board
4. Local water management umts should be watershed dzstrzcts, not
Jomt-powers WMO's The duties and authontIes identified for the
new water management umts are all available to watershed
dIStriCts under current law EXIsting watershed dIstncts can use
these powers more fully to Implement the recommendations of the
Work Group. .
5. Each water management umt should engage the servzces of a
professzonal admzmstrator. The adm1mstrator will prOVIde a point
of contact for local governments and the pubhc, and ensure that
the organizatIon provIdes the services requIred, mcludmg
coordination WIth local governments and ground water
management organIzatIons Each water management umt may
hIre addItional staff, contract with pnvate organizatIons, or the
Washmgton SWCD or other pubhc orgamzatIons to prOVIde
services.
6 Water umts should cooperate wzth citzes and townshzps to
coordmate land use and surface water management CItIes and
townships have the pnmary responsibility in managing land use,
adoptIng and enforcmg zoning and subdIvision regulations Water
units w1l1 set perfonnance standards for prionty water bodies.
CIties and townsmps will develop zoning and land use plans and
enforce these to meet the standards The water units will provide
technical assistance and ongoing monitoring to assure that
standards are met There will be a single point of contact for
permits and enforcement.
.
Washington County Water Governance Study

.
7. Water umts should use a full range of financing mechanisms,
zncludzng ad valorem taxes, special assessments, storm water
utIlIty funds, and others. The choice of funding mechanism
should depend on the nature of the activity being funded. Each
water unit will develop an annual Capital Improvement Plan for
review by the county and local governments. A Truth-in- Taxanon
heanng will be reqUIred to mcrease accountability for financial
management and make financial decisions more VIsible to the
public.
8 Each water unit must provIde a mechamsm (s) for effective CItIZen
znvolvement, such C,t,zen AdVISOry Commlttee(s) at the watershed
or subwatershed level Citizens should adVIse local water
management boards on planning, budgeting, and projects that
benefit the area
9 The County should address needs for more county-wIde
leadershIp and coordznatlon of suiface and ground water
management. The County should establish a county-wide Water
Consortium to work on surface and ground water issues that cross
local water umt boundanes. Members of the Consortium should
mclude the local water units, cIties and townshIps, Washington
SWCD, County Departments, and natural resource agencies. The
County should staff the Consortium.
10. The County Board should prOVIde more leadershIp and dIrectIon
to local water management boards The County should proVIde
clear expectations for performance, be explIcit about roles and
relatIOnships, and prOVide more oversight of operations and
budgets to assure that an adequate level of service IS provided
throughout the county and that local water orgamzations are
accountable to an elected board

The Work Group also recommended criteria to be used to evaluate the new
management structure, and suggested options for phasmg its
Implementation The Work Group suggested that the new structure be
formally evaluated by the County Board during the second decade of the
new millemum, to determme whether It is meeting the goals for water
governance for the county.

Washington County Water Governance Study
Study Goals and Outcomes-Proposed Changes to the System
April 26, 1999
The following summarizes the goals for the County's water governance system that were
identified by the County Board at the beginning ofthe study, and the elements of the
proposed system that address each goal.
1. Integrate surface and ground water management.
· Use hydrologic boundaries to establIsh the water umts
· Complete a comprehensive resource assessment in each watershed unit
· Identify priority water bodies and performance-based standards for
management of water quality and quantity.
· Require each water unit to provide a minimum set of services, including
resource assessment, a comprehensive management plan, implementation of
the plan, and monitoring of resources.
· Provide a full range of financing tools to develop and implement plans
· Requires a county-wide State of the Water assessment and report
· EstablIsh a county-wide Water Consortium to increase coordmatIon among
surface and ground water management organizations.
.
2.
Increase the effectiveness of the water governance structure.
· Reduce number of water units to increase fiscal capacity of each, and potential
effectiveness in implementing plans.
· Eliminate WMO structure (which was ineffective) with Watershed District
structure, which has been more effective in identifying problems and
implementing solutions.
· Require each water unit to hire a profesSional administrator to develop
effective working relationships with local governments and others and have
day-to-day responsibility to carry out water unit functions. The administrator
will also serve as a point of contact for citizens with surface water concerns.
· Identify a full range of fmancing options that may be used to complete and
implement plans.
· EstablIsh agreement between water units and local governments on priority
water bodies and water quality standards so that effective regulations can be
adopted to reach these standards.
3.
Increase efficiency in the water governance structure.
.
· Reduce the number of water units m the county to reduce unnecessary
duplication of planning and management activities. Total number of units
reduced from 11 to 6 (three inter-county units remain from previous system;
units wholly within the county are reduced from eight to three under the
"
recommended option). Most cities would be in one or two watersheds' (some
are in three or four under the existing water management boundaries).
. Establish a single permitting authority in each local community; reduce .
existing and potential duplication.
· Set county-wide standards for some management issues.
4. Increase accountability in the water governance structure.
. The County Board should appoint, and if needed, remove water unit board
members. The Work Group determined that appointment by the Board would
produce more effective accountability than special elections for water unit
board members that attract few voters, and cumbersome recall processes to
remove Board members that are not performing well.
. Use standardized applications, interviews, and procedures to appoint water
unit board members.
. Increase the participation of local governments in the selection of water unit
board members
· Hold Truth-in- Taxation hearings for water unit budgets, coordinated with
county truth-tn-taxation hearings
· ReqUire water units to establish and effectively use citizen advisory
committees.
. Increase the leadershIp and coordmation role that the County plays in water
management.
.
5.
The water governance structure should approach issues in a pro-active
rather than re-active manner.
· The proposed structure addresses issues on a county-wide basis. It does not
limit its focus to current "problem" areas.
. Recommends a watershed district structure and comprehensive set of required
services to replace the WMO structure, including public education and
monitoring of conditions to identify needs for change.
. Requires a comprehensive resource assessment as a basis for planning and
management.
· EstablIslunent of staff adminIstrators at each water unit will improve
consistency and reduce crisis orientation that occurs with volunteer-based
organizations

ORDINANCE NO.
TREE PROTECflON ORDINANCE
MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS REGARDING TREE PROTECflON
THE CITY COUNCH. OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1
Subd.1. PulJ)ose The City of Stillwater finds that it is in the best interests of the
community to protect, preserve and enhance the natural environment by encouraging a resourceful
and prudent approach to the development and alteration of wooded areas. The City also finds it is
in the best interests of the community to protect trees from improper maintenance practices. It is the
intent of this ordinance to protect the community's existing tree resource by preservation and
protection of estab6shed trees, by promoting proper tree maintenance practices and by requiring the
replacement of trees which are damaged or removed in the course of development or construction
activities. The City recognizes that trees help stabilize soil, reduce storm water runoff, are valuable
components ofwatershed areas, aid in the removal of carbon dioxide and the production of oxygen;
provide a buffer and screen against both noise pollution and objectionable views; provide wildlife
habitat and corridors; protect and increase property value, conserve and enhance the City's physical
and aesthetic environment, and enhance the quality of life of the City's residents. Therefore, this
ordinance is designed to minimize tree damage from development and improper maintenance
practices, and mitigate tree removal resulting from development in areas where there are significant
trees or tree cover within the City.
.
Subd. 2. Principles for Administration of the Ordinance In the enforcement of this
ordinance, the City may give preference to the preservation of those trees considered to be of higher
quality or value because of their size, species, location, or condition. The City may require the
following measures to be implemented to accomplish or increase preservation of "significant" trees
and natural areas: clustering of buildings or other innovative design techniques, installation of
retaining walls or large tree wells, placement of utilities in common trenches outside the drip line of
trees or natural areas, or the use of tunneled installation under large trees, and transplanting of trees
to other areas on the site outside the limits of soil disturbance To promote the health of trees within
construction areas the City may also require mulching, pruning, watering or soil aeration. The City
may require dedication of a conservation easements to ensure that areas of special significance are
not damaged or negatively impacted by development
Subd.3. Applicability This ordinance applies to any vacant parcel of land, one acre
in ~ize or larger, undergoing development which contains at least five significant trees It also applies
to additions to structures or subdivisions ofland within bluffs, ravines, wetlands and their designated
setback or buffer areas.

Re: Water storage facility for annexed area.
Dear Steve,
At the most recent Board of Water Commissioners meeting, May 13, 1999, the Board discussed a
storage facility for the newly annexed area of Stillwater.
The meeting we bad on April 20th with City staff and Verne Jacobson ofT.K.D.A Engineers,
was discussed and the cost estimates that Verne prepared between a 1.0 million gallon elevated
tank, a 1.5 million gallon elevated tank and a 1.5 million-gallon underground reservoir were
reviewed
After taking everything into consideration the Board has agreed to proceed with a 1.5 million-
gallon underground reservou: It is assumed that this reservoir can be constructed on City property
known as Semer's Park, direc1ly across ftom the land where our well # 11 is to be drilled and with
no cost to the Water Department.
If the water qualities from the test well we are drilling is found to be unfavorable other locations
for both a well and a storage fa~i1ity will have to be found
The Board felt that by going to an underground reservoir there would be less controversy from
residents and the top of the reservoir could be incorporated into the park land

Re: Adult mosquito control
The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) has been working to protect public health,
and make summers more enjoyable for people in your city and throughout the metropolitan area
for over 40 years..
Mosquito control techniques have evolved throughout the years to include a number of tools.
One of these tools is adult mosquito control using the materials resmethrin or permethrin. Adult
mosquito control will take place from time to time within your jurisdiction when samples show a
mosquito-borne disease threat, or when levels of mosquitoes interfere with public events or
citizens outdoor activities.
In 1998 the Office of the Legislative Auditor conducted a program evaluation ofMMCD. The
audit report noted that the Minnesota Department of Health, the Environmental Protection
Agency, and the World Health Organization have all found that resmethrin and permethrin
should not be harmful to people or the environment if used according to label instructions.
MMCD operates a pre-recorded adult information line. You can call (651) 643-8383 and find
out where adult mosquito control is scheduled anywhere within the metro area. This information
is updated daily, and is also available through MMCD's website: www.mmcd.org.
If you would like more information on District activities, or would like to reVIew other
notification optIons please contact Jim Stark at (651) 643-8363
