Adopted by Council this 6th day of January, 1998. Jay Kimble, Mayor Attest: Morli Weldon, City Clerk " .. MEMORANDUM . TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator . . RE: Vacancies due to retirements of Don Beberg and Tim Bell DA: January 2, 1998 Discussion: Accompanying this memo are letters from Don Beberg and Tim Bell indicating their pending retirements. Mr. Beberg's retirement date is July I, 1998 and Mr. Bell's is March I, 1998. Both of these individuals have been excellent employees and they will be difficult to replace. In regards to filling the vacancies created by their respective retirements, the following options are available for both positions: 1. Post the vacancies internally and select only from current employees, or 2. Post internally but also advertise externally. I would make the following recommendation: Police Chief - Post internally and advertise externally. I would also recommend that the Council employ a search firm to select and interview candidates for the position. The search firm would select 3 to 5 candidates for final interviews and selection by the City Council. A qualified search firm would probably charge between $14,000 to $18,000. Although this might sound high, a qualified search firm would use established and tested procedures to objectively select a qualified candidate. And they would probably do so in a timely manner. If Council agrees, staff would obtain proposals from qualified firms for Council review and consideration. It is further recommended that the Council begin the hiring process soon in order to have someone on board on or about June 1, 1998. This would require having a search firm working with the City no later than early to mid February. Police Captain - Post internally only. I think we have enough qualified candidates within the current work force and do not think it is necessary to go outside of the department. I would further recommend that Chief Beberg and Captain Bell be asked to assist in the interview and selection of the candidates. I believe their knowledge of the department and current personnel would be highly beneficial in selecting the next Captain. It would be appropriate to begin the selection process ASAP in that Mr. Bell will be retiring on March I, 1998. I can discuss this further with you at the meeting Tuesday. "- ~fi ~ . . .

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources December 8, 1997 Steve Russell Community Development Director City of Stillwater City Hall: 216 North Fourth Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Dear Mr. Russell: After review of the water surface use ordinance for Long Lake, located in Sections 30 and 31, Town 30 north, Range 20 West in the City of Stillwater, I am approving it, provided the revisions made by our office (attached) are incorporated into the ordinance . when it is adopted. A copy of the ordinance language with the required revisions is enclosed. The revisions are mostly technical in nature and should not affect the purpose of the ordinance. They are as follows: · A section on definitions has been added which references M.S. 9868.005 (the watercraft laws) · The horsepower section was re-drafted slightly, incorporating the restrictions noted in the original proposal, except that a list of permitted boats and the prohibition on personal watercraft has been deleted. The reasoning behind this is as follows - the list of permitted boats has no reference to definition, does not really add anything to the ordinance and trying to come up with an inclusive list is frustrating at best. All of the craft you have listed are technically "boats." The prohibition against personal watercraft (as defined in M.S. 9868.005) is unnecessary, since the smallest engines for these craft are about 50-60hp and there have never been any in the 10hp range. This also may draw attention away from the purpose of the ordinance, which is to prohibit all large motors from the lake. . DNR Information: 612-296-6157,1-800-766-6000 .

We have also added the three sections on enforcement, exemptions and notification, as required in the water surface use rules. . You should also be aware that the Department has been contacted over the last few weeks by a number of citizens regarding the pending development around the lake and the proposed solutions in this ordinance. While the Department's role in reviewing water surface use ordinances submitted by cities and counties is primarily to assure compliance by the proposed ordinance with state laws and rules governing these restrictions, we would also urge the city to look at its current shoreland zoning ordinances. Our hydrologists recommend that the city consider adopting shoreland ordinance provisions that restrict the use of lake access lots by non-riparian owners. Our Division of Waters staff would be happy to help in this process. You can contact either Metro Regional Hydrologist Dale Homuth or Area Hydrologist Molly Shodeen (both are at 772-7977) for assistance or more information. The Department also is ready to assist you in any future water surface use management, either on this lake or any others in the city. When the revised ordinance receives final adoption, please send a copy to Marcella Jerome, our Boating Staff Specialist. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Marcella at 297-5708. . Thank you for your interest in boating safety, and best of luck with your ordinance! c: Water Surface Use File Capt.

Enacted by the City Council of the City of Stillwater this day of 1997. . Minnesota Department of Natural Resources OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER 500 Lafayette Road St. Paul. Minnesota 55155-4037 December 8, 1997 Laurie Maher 3018 Marine Circle Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Ms Maher: I want to take this opportunity to thank you for submitting the letters and materials regarding Long Lake in the City of Stillwater. A number of our staff members have reviewed the information that was sent by you along with the original information from the City. . The water surface use management process set by the Legislaturewas designed to initiate specific restrictions on lakes and rivers at the local level (town, city or county) and then require the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to review them to assure that they complied with the statutes and rules governing such restrictions. The DNR does not initiate water surface use zoning (even on the St. Croix River, where by law, we are required to receive county resolution before beginning rulemaking and their approval before final enactment). In this particular case, our staff reviewed the comprehensive information presented by the City and came to the consensus that the ordinance, as written (with some technical revisions), be approved. After a review of the additional information that was provided by you, the staff's opinion was not significantly altered. Here were some of the items we considered: . Water surface use management has been delegated to the local units of government by the Legislature - this is where public input should be heard and any policy discrepancies dealt with, . There is currently no restriction on boar use on Long Lake, - the restriction to ' boats of 10hp or less (except pontoon boats which cannot exceed 25hp) does not seem to be unreasonable at this point. A 10hp boat or a 25hp pontoon is not one which we see typically involved in collision accidents - either with fixed '. DNR Information: 612-296-6157.1-800-766-6000 . TrY: 612_296-5484.1-800-657-3929 . FAX: 612-296-4799 An Equal Opportunity Employ<r ft Print<lI on R<cycl<d Paper (.~ Containing 10% Post-Consumer Waste objects or another craft. The vast majority boating deaths are single craft accidents where the victim enters the water after a fall overboard or capsizing. . As an example, in looking at the last two years of Minnesota boating accident - data (fatal and non-fatal) there were four accidents involving boats equipped with motors of 10hp or less being the striking craft. All were in 1996 and three of the four were sailboats merely equipped with auxiliary engines, which were under sail at the time. The fourth was a small fishing boat that struck a personal watercraft which unexpectedly swung into its path (no injuries and a small amount of property damage). · Although slow-no wake speed on the entire lake is an option allowed in the water surface use rules, this type of restriction requires an officer (primarily the Washington County Sheriff's Water Patrol) to actually observe the boat exceeding the speed restriction before an enforcement action can be initiated. Due to the limited staffing of the Water Patrol and the number of high-use areas in the county, chances of a deputy being available to observe slow-no wake violations would probably be minimal. · It was felt that if the lake is incompatible or too shallow for small motorboat operation that people will more than likely stay off of the lake and use other water bodies. There would be nothing, however, prohibiting the City from placing a sign at the access outlining any depth hazards on the lake (or placing buoys in strategic locations on the lake itself) to inform the public. It was the recommendation of the DNR staff, therefore, that any problems with the specifics of this ordinance be addressed with the City. My recommendation is that if you still wish to amend the ordinance, you re-initiate contact with the City of Stillwater, either directly to staff, or through your city council representative. The DNR will be more than happy to assist the City in future surface or shoreland management and review any amendments that they may wish to make regarding Long Lake or any other lake in Stillwater. .

FR: City Coordinator RE: Port Authority Commission DA: January 2, 1998 Discussion: The Stillwater Port Authority was reactivated in 1983 after having remained inactive for many years. I cannot recall all of the reasons for reactivating the commission. However, I believe the issues were related to the Aiple lease and the monitoring of the lease operations. The other issues involved the docking and wharfage of boats along. the waterfront. The activity of the commission, over the past few years, anyway, has been limited to reviewing and making recommendation on the renewal of the dock permits for the Andiamo boats. The activity has been so limited that the commission has been meeting only twice a year. Further, with the expiration of the Aiple lease next year it would appear that the only issues left to discuss or review would be the dock permits and the development of the waterfront area now leased by Aiple. The latter issue has been handled primarily by the Planning Commission (e.g., development of the Lowell Park plan) and to some extent by the Park and Recreation Commission. . In any event, I believe the issues that are currently handled by the Port Authority could be given to the Planning Commission and/or staff and I would recommend the dissolution of the commission. I have discussed this with the members of the commission and they agree. I should point out that my recommendation is based on the amount of activity associated with the commission and not on the manner in which the commission has handled the activity or issues. The members have been dedicated and have, in my opinion, acted responsibly when dealing with the issues.

The area of the proposed project includes First Street between Willard and Orleans, Willard between Third Street and First Street, Marsh and Hancock between First and Sixth A venue, and Burlington between First Street and Fifth A venue. All streets in the project area would be constructed to the City standard of32 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. (This would mean narrowing the width on First Street from 40 feet to 32 feet) The street section shall be four inches of bituminous on six inches of aggregate. All deteriorated sidewalks will be replaced with a new five-foot sidewalk, four inches thick. Driveway aprons will be restored at the direction of the homeowner. The homeowner will be given the option of having a bituminous driveway at no additional cost to their assessment or having a concrete driveway installed at an additional cost Existing storm sewer inlets shall be replaced with new manhole castings and relocated to match in with the new street widths. Sanitary manholes will be rehabilitated with three inches of a concrete liner and the water main shall be rerouted around three manholes. Also, any water service that is galvanize pipe shall be replaced with a new copper service. Boulevards shall be graded to match in with the new curb and sidewalk and sodded. Total cost of the project, which includes construction, engineering, and administration, amounts to $814,200. The following summary shows the breakdown of the costs: ./" Sewer Reconstruction Water Main Repairs Water Services Street Reconstruction Sidewalk Construction TOTAL $36,563.00 $14,000.00 $56,475.00 $563,314.00 $143,848.00 $814,200.00 . PROJECT FINANCING Back in May 1993, the City adopted an assessment policy statement. Included in that statement were guidelines for assessing property owners for the reconstruction of residential areas. The assessment policy stated that half of the project costs would be assessed to the property owners on a frontage foot basis, with the remaining portion paid for by the City. Recently, similar projects have been assessed successfully on a per unit basis, since land use is predominately the same. This method will be used to come up with an assessment amount for this project There are 81 properties in the neighborhood that are included in this project, which includes 78 single family homes, the Nelson School Condominiums, the ISD 834 ball fields on Burlington and Sixth Avenue, and St Michael's School on Willard Street Figuring out the adjusted gross length of right-of-way, the street assessment per lineal feet of frontage amounts to $46.36. For this neighborhood the average size lot (without the three properties mentioned above) is 72.23 feet Under the City's assessment guidelines the city would assess $3350 per unit for street improvement Comer lots would . .~ . . . '-, . MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Shawn Sanders, Civil Engineer ~S . FROM: DATE: December 30, 1997 RE: Feasibility Report for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project: First Street and the Surrounding Area Project No. 9802 INTRODUCTION In recent years, the City of Stillwater has continued an aggressive plan to reconstruct streets that have been determined poor in quality according to the Stillwater Pavement Management Study in 1990. First Street between Willard and Orleans and the side streets of Marsh, Burlington, Hancock and Willard between First Street and Sixth Avenue were among the lowest rated streets in this study and the streets have continued to deteriorate over the past eight years. In addition to the reconstruction of the streets the City has also looked at repairing any deficiencies in the underground utilities. DISCUSSION The streets and the utilities for this area were originally constructed back in the early 1910' s. The streets were constructed with little or no subgrade, and had a thinner pavement section. Curbs were constructed of limestone and the street widths varied in size from 40 feet along First Street to 32 feet along Burlington Avenue. Maintenance for these streets consisted of yearly pothole repair, and an occasional street overlay or seal coating. Sanitary sewer manholes in this neighborhood were constructed of brick. Through time these manholes have deteriorated and are in need of rehabilitation. Due to the amount of rock along First Street, the water main was installed in the same trench as the sanitary sewer. When the water main came in conflict with a manhole, the main was installed through the manhole instead of routing around the manhole. This practice is rarely allowed today and should be corrected. Many of the water services were constructed with galvanized pipe and have exceeded their service life. Galvanized pipe joints tend to pull apart and the pipe cracks, resulting in a service leak that could cost the homeowner several thousand dollars to repair. These services should be replaced with copper service at the time the street is being reconstructed. The storm sewer system was updated in the early 1970' s when the combined sewer system was separated into separate systems. Each intersection has storm sewer pickups but are in need of replacement, the curb openings to these structures have become smaller probably due to bituminous overlays. .. . be assessed one-half the per unit rate per side of frontage. The other three lots would be assessed on lineal frontage basis. Property owners would also be assessed for a sidewalk improvement. This rate was computed by dividing the total right-of-way length by half of the sidewalk costs. This rate amounts to $9.43 per lineal foot. By using the average lot width of 72.23 feet, residents would be assessed $681.00 per unit for sidewalk improvements. Any lots smaller than 72.23 feet would be assessed on a lineal foot of frontage basis. Homeowners would receive a credit to their assessment for any existing sidewalk that is not replaced in this project. The City has a policy to assess all costs associated with any water service improvement, this assessment would be additional to the street, sidewalk and driveway assessment. There are 34 homes in the project that have galvanized services and should be switched over to a copper service. Based on the cost for water service repair, this would amount to $1660 per home. Homeowners may have the option of selecting their own contractor to install a new copper service. Many homeowners on Second Street chose this option on last year's project. . " ..Y . Bituminous driveway aprons shall be installed and included in the cost of the street assessment. However, the resident may choose to have a concrete driveway apron installed, this will result in an additional $300 increase to the assessment amount. For this report it was estimated that 36 property owners would want a concrete driveway. Using the above assessment criteria, the proposed assessment rate would be as follows: IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT RATE Streets and Sewer Reconstruction Water Service Sidewalk Concrete Driveway $3350.00 $1660.00 $681.00 $300.00 The resulting average assessment per home including street and sidewalk would be $4031. This amount is slightly higher than the assessed for last year's Second Street Project Amount of$3790. Combined with the cost ofa driveway and water service, the maximum assessment for a single family home would be $5991. The three remaining properties would be assessed per lineal foot of frontage plus a sidewalk rate. The table below shows their assessment amounts: PROPERTY STREET SIDEWALK TOTAL St. Michael's Church Nelson Condominium ISD 834 $14,603.00 $6,027.00 $13,769.00 $681.00 $681.00 $681.00 $15,284.00 $6,708.00 $14,450.00 . Assessment amounts for all properties would be over a ten-year period at 7% interest. .. . Using these assessment rates the City will realize approximately $373,000 in assessments or approximately 45% of the total project costs. Other funding sources will include using State Aid Funding and to charge the Water Board for the maintenance of their system. Burlington Avenue from Sixth Avenue to Fifth Avenue is designated as an MSA street, so most improvements made to this segment of road shall be paid through State Aid Funding. It is estimated MSA would contribute $34,775 to fund the project. Water main repair including offsetting the main around manholes and relocating hydrants and valves is a cost directly attributable to maintenance of the water system. This amount of $11 ,200 should be directly charged to the Stillwater Water Board. The remaining portion or approximately $395,000 must be financed through City revenues. The table below illustrates the funding sources and the percentage of the total costs: FUNDING SOURCE Street Assessment Sidewalk Assessment Water service Assessment Driveway Aprons Water Board State Aid City Share TOTAL CONCLUSIONS FUNDING AMOUNT PERCENT OF PROJECT $255,500 $50,400 $56,475 $10,800 $11 ,200 $34,775 $395,000 $814,200 31.4% 6.2% 6.9% 1.3% 1.4% 4.3% 48.5% 100% . These streets were originally constructed over 70 years ago, are among the worst in the City and are in need of repair. A reconstruction project will rebuild the streets, construct new sidewalks, repair deficiencies to the sanitary sewer manholes and the water services. Cost of these improvements is estimated at $814,200. The project is financially and technically feasible providing that all funding sources can be implemented. If this project proceeds, it would be advantageous to the City to combine this project with the Curve Crest Boulevard Street Overlay Project in order to receive better bid quotes for both projects. A report for Curve Crest Boulevard will be presented at the next meeting. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that Council accept the report for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project for First Street between Willard and Orleans, Willard between Third Street and First Street, Marsh and Hancock between First and Sixth Avenue, and Burlington between First Street and Fifth Avenue and order a public hearing for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project to be held on February 3, 1998 at 7:30 p.m. ' ACTION REQUIRED . . . .

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: 1998 Cable Commission budget DA: January 6, 1998 Discussion: Accompanying this memo is the proposed budget for the Central St. Croix Valley Cable Commission for fiscal year 1998. The budget is about $6100 higher than the 1997 budget (about a 7% increase). The increase is primarily due to increased legal fees related to the refranchising of the cable system. The budget appears to be reasonable and I would recommend Council approval (per Article X, Section 4 of the Joint Cable Commission agreement). Recommendation: Council adopt resolution approving fiscal year 1998 Joint Cable Commission budget. /!~ . CENTRAL SAINT CROIX VALLEY JOINT CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 1941 South Greeley Str.'

RIVER VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL <. . 10 December, 1997 Mayor Jay Kimball City Hall City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082-4802 Dear Mayor Kimball: On behalf of the ,River Valley Arts Council (RVAC), I am pleased to submit this request to the City of Stillwater for $2,500 in general operating support, Past support from the Cityhas been instrumental to RV AC's growth has made possible countless cultural programs in the St Croix Valley. Thank you. . As you know, RV AC is a community based, volunteer operated, multi-disciplinazy arts organization that serves the St. Croix Valley and eastern Washington County. Founded in 1993, RVAC was created in response to the need for an organized approach to nurture and build a solid, vital, and accessible arts network and arts programming that would serve the entire community of the St., Croix Valley:, The year 1997 finds RVAC in a position Of growth and planning for the future. The enclosed Case for Support outlines our exciting new programs and tells of our work with community constituents to expand existing programs. The services, activities and programs outlined in our request will only live up or exceed what you will come to expect from the River Valley Arts Council: inclusive, accessible, high calibre, innovative and responsive programs for our community. A general operations gift of $2,500 from the City of Stillwater will play an important role as we expand the number and scope of our services and programs to the community., R V AC is truly a grassroots local arts agency and we believe that the community must support our own artists,' involve people in our 'own community, and encourage participation in the arts for everyone where they live. Four compelling reasons that the City of Stillwater should continue to support R V AC are: 1. Financial support of the arts from State and Federal funds is nearly non-existent in Washington County. Washington County was not served by state or federal funds until four years agowhen the Metropolitan Regional ArtsCounciI began its re-grating program; in total, less that 1 % of state arts money has been allocated to the entire County, Governor Carlson's recent allocation of funds to arts < organizations may bring a few more state dollars to the County, however, the need is still great. Regarding private contributions from corporations and foundations, even though the Twin Cities is known nationally for its strong philanthropic support of the arts, rarely do the major art contributors fund organizations outside the Twin Cities. All corporate and foundation support received by RV AC is from organizations in the area. . P.O. BOX 701 STILLWATER, MN 55082 (612) 439-1465 . . . RIVER VALLEY ARTS'COUNCIL City of Stillwater Page Two 2. Artisticaily _ The Washington County areais home to a large number of artists, many with regional and national reputations, who report long residency in the area; a survey conducted in 1992 estimated that approximately 180 artists lived and worked in the area, with approximately 60 considering themselves professional artists. Artists are not being served by resources available in the Twin Cities and need to look to their peers and resources in, our community for support. RV AC programs work to serve artists through networking programs for artists, the School Arts Program collaboration with Stillwater School District, and through printed materials, such as the quarterly Arts Update Newsletter. 3. Geographically, Washington County is 60 miles long and for many residents this distance presents a barrier to traveling into the Twin Cities for arts experiences. We needto create a sense of our own artistic community; one where we can make the arts a part of our daily lives, not something that requires a special trip out of town and into, the Twin Cities. Another challenge unique to our 'vast service area is the fact that there is not one ,definitive information source that serves artists, arts groups and members of the community when they are looking to participate in the arts in our community. . 4. Innovation and Initiative - RVAC isutilizing existing infrastructure in the area and creating opportunities for more involvement in the arts for people of all ages, races, economic background" etc. Two fine examples are outlined in the attached proposal: The Stillwater Art Crawl, held in conjunction , with The Taste of Stillwater; and the School Arts Program in collaboration with Independent School District #834. . RV ACis a central arts agency which exists to serve as the catalyst for the community to realize it's inherent historic and contemporary cultural vitality and signlficance. ',. R V AC is now an established mechanism for organiied arts advocacy and artistic opportunity, in the Valley. ' We estimate that more than 12,OOOpeople will have directly participated in RV AC programs during 1997. Community participation ranges from seniors in our Writing series to art education for students by artists from the area to the . successful Stillwater Art Crawl held this past June in conjunction with the Taste of Stillwater. In addition to the Case for Support, enclosed for your information is RV AC's1996 Annual Report, current year's operating budget, a list of the Board of Directors, as well as a sampliIlg of our printed materials. As you review the proposal and support materials, please call either of us if you have questions about the River Valley Arts Council or any of our programs. A general operations gift of $2,500 will be a meaningful contribution to R V AC and 'will support existing programs and it will be a wise investment into RVAC's future, The long term benefits ofa culturally wealthy community are deep and vast; RV AC is serving Stillwater and surrounding areas as the conduit to organize, network and communicate the arts in our community, now and into the future. Thank you for your past support and for your thoughtful consideration of this request. Sincerely, ~ &v~v Vice Chair 436.8906 p.o.

RIVER VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL - CASE FOR SUPPORT Organizational Background The River VaHey Arts Council (J{ V AC), based in StiHwater, serves a major portion of Washington County and is the oniy central arts organization in the area, The Council is four years old and the mitial phase is completed, with an organizational base, effective and active board leadership, and sound fiscal management. J{ V AC has worked with the community to provide arts programs and services, such as artists networking, a community art crawl, art education programs for youth, and a quarterly newsletter and art calendar. We depend on volunteers to carry out these activities. The need for an arts council emerged from a comprehensive Task Force study (1 Yn) that was underwritten by The Saint paullioundation. The Task Force was made up of area artists, business leaders, government officials, representatives from the philanthropic community and concerned citizens, aH of whom met to assess the artistic needs of the St. Croix Valley, Conclusions from this needs assessment found great community support and need for an arts organization like J{ V AC. J{ V AC is a community based, volunteer operated, multi-disciplinary arts organization. It was created in response to the need to build a solid, vital, and accessible arts network and program that unites artistic efforts and serves artists and residents living in the many communities of the S1. Croix Valley. With more than 200 members to date, and a mailing list weH over 2,000, J{ V AC is an established, accessible mechanism for organized arts advocacy and artistic opportunity in the Valley. In addition to our membership base, other financial support is provided by a number of local corporations, foundations, local businesses, and governmental agencies. Decisions Makers and Group Structure The volunteer Hoard consists of 16 members--comprised of artists, business people, arts advocates and community members--and is organized in a sub-committee structure that encompasses our internal operations and our external public programs. Suzann Hrown is the board chair and oversees the five standing sub-committees of the board: f'inance and lJevelopment, Programs, Marketing, Yacilities, and Membership & volunteers; each committee is chaired by a board member and includes community members in addition to other members of the board. Sub-committees meet as needed. The Executive Committee of Hoard Officers meets monthly to review current prionties and programs. The agenda for the full board meeting is set by the Executive Committee and the structure of the monthly board meetings are established through sub-committee reports and necessary actions. Guest speakers are often invited to board meetings as the interest in board development and efficient planning is always a priority. J{ V AC is a volunteer organization that has a part-time administrator. J{ V AC's board is tiHed WIth committed, hard-working volunteers, with a great cross-section of talents and expertise, plus a lot of energy. Each member is fuHy engaged and playing a vital role at J{ V AC. A board list is attached. RV AC Programs and Services for the Community J{ V AC works with the community to plan innovative programs that are responsive to community needs; highlights of 1 YY7 activities and programs are: -t Arts Education J{ V AC and ~tiHwater SchoollJistrict ~34 have joined forces for the last three years to present an art education program that utilizes regional artists as instructors in the classroom: The School Arts Program (formerly known as Artists as Neighbors). More than 1,000 students participate III the program each year, and more than 2,000 participate ill the culminating Art Fair at year's end. RVAC 0 Case For Support 0 'alle 3 --t The Artists Networking Series This program was designed to fill the tremendous need voiced by artists to provide a network for professional growth and support to artists that live in the community. This informal focus group presents the opportunity for artists to discuss their work, lend support to each other, and propose various projects, ideas and collaborations within the community. . -. Arts Update Arts Update is R V AC's quarterly newsletter that profiles area artists, lists various area grant making programs, reviews/critiques artistic presentations, lists cultural activities/programs in the area, etc. (two issues are enclosed). It includes a pull-out community arts calendar listing all cultural activities taking place in the Valley. it not only provides up-to-date news on cultural activity in the area, it's also a resource for artists that looks for ways to work with the community and to community members searching for opportunities to incorporate the arts into their lives. Arts Update is the only comprehensive arts publication in the area. Circulation: 2,000+, R V AC has a solid track record of presenting quality programs and events for the community effectively and efficiently. it is estimated that 12,000 people have directly participated in RVAC programs during 1997 with anticipated growth during 199K. i'or example, R V AC and Good Samaritan Nursing Care are coilaboratively planning an artist-residency program to serves senior citizens in the Valley. Focus for 1997: Effectively reaching the Community After considerable discussion at the board level during the past year, a priority has emerged for R V AC: focus on improving our communications efforts with artists, hwnan service groups and the general public. Community response has been so positive toward R V AC and our programs have been so successful that our communications efforts need strengthening to provide adequate support to keep pace with our growth. The board agreed that the best way to accomplish ~s is to hll:e a cons~ltant who is familiar with the arts community and knowledgeable about working with a wide variety .' commumty constituents. R V AC has received a generous grant for this project from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. A wide search was conducted and an able and terrific candidate was found in Pat Hanson. a Stillwater resident. Pat will work with R V AC's board sub-committees to assess how we can best communicate with the diverse audience we have, which is especially challenging due to our large geographic service area, The Community Outreach planner will be out in the community having extensive interviews and discussions with artists, community leaders, local arts groups, non-arts groups including hwnan service organizations, senior and youth groups, to name a few. At the end of this process, a plan that docwnents results from interviews and focus groups wiil be compiled, including a list of critical issues and recommendations that will best guide R V AC's communications efforts and community relations in the future. The consultant wiH meet with the board intermittently to ret1ect on implementation of the plan. Summary The list of accomplishments in R V AC's four years of existence demonstrates effective and efficient leadership and refiects the community support that wants and needs its existence. What we have learned since 1993 is that the 1992 Task ,Force study properly assessed the artistic needs for the $1. Croix'VaHey, in 19':17, the need is even more evident than before: through the work of the River Valley Arts Council, we are now in communication with members of our community. Through listening and coi1aboration, R V AC is able to articulate and identity the need and respond to it through innovative programs and services for varied constituents we serve over the many communities that comprise the $1. Croix Valley. On behalf of the Hoard and members of the River VaHey Arts Council, we thank you for your thoughtful consideration of .is request and we look forward to your support of this vital, growing organization.

COORDINATION OFFICE. 117 Main Street, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082. (612) 439-7122 ANNOUNCEjyfENT From Randall R. Thoreson Planning Coordinator for the Lower St. Croi'C National Scenic Riverway Hello friends of the Lower St. Croiy; Happy Holidays!! Please accept this short letter as an announcement of my new position as Planning Coordinator for the majestic Lower St.Croix National Scenic Riverwav. I am replacing Kate Hanson who is now working on the Mississippi River. I'm sure many of you share my word of thanks on the great professional assistance and personal commitment Kate made to the Lower St.Croix management plan activities. I can assure you that I will show similar interest arId dedication to this challenging and rewarding project. First, a "brief' background about my experience and perspective may be in order: I offer more than 20 years experience in both the lvfidwest and Mountain West as director, consultant, educator, and facilitator on planning and environmental activities, Education includes a B,A, (Planning as well as environmental fields) and an MA, in Urban and Regional Studies (Planning emphasis). The experience I have combined with educational credentials has provided an opportunity to work with a wide variety of public and private interests at the local. regional. and national levels. On a more personal note, I am an easy-going type of person and I have lived and worked in the St. Croix valley for a number of years. Most importantly, I harbor a deep appreciation of the important relationship between the people and the beautifitl (as well as unique) St, Croix River corridor, . I wish to extend a hand of appreciationfor all those involved in the first stages of the vision and management alternatives for the Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, Having attended the last few Task Force meetings and been involved with recent Interagency Planning Team discussions, I am very impressed with the great deal of depth and perspectives everyone has contributed The "open" input process will prove to be an important cornerstone for the lvfanagement Plan by bridging local, state and federal interests with citi=en involvement, Next, a short preview on what's coming up: In a nutshell, the next steps in our process will be directed toward selecting a preferred alternative(s) relating to the great many alternatives for land as well as water use defined and discussed at the last several Task Force meetings (and boy did we ever have a slug-of- em), What you will see and be invited to participate in the first few months of the New Year are: (A) Compilation of all existing materials and Task Force findings/determinations in one draft document. (B) More accurately "defining" and "refining" major land and water alternatives to avoid repetition and duplication (Task Force meeting in late January or early February) (C) Going through a Preferred Alternative selection process (workshop session(s) in the spring) (D) Subsequent activities relating to the project will then be further detailed and a formal work schedule put together. Whew! That's a lot ofw.ork- but sure will be worth it when we get done! . Final thoughts: So that's about all I have for now. Again, I look forward to working with all of you and will continue to make this a timely, fun, and energetic planning project. FeellTee to give me a call or leave a message if you have a question or wish to discuss a particular topic. My office number is (612) 439-7122.
