POLICE DEPARTMENT

TO: MAYOR KIMBLE AND CITY COUNCIL ~
FROM: D.L. BEBERG, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1997
RE: PURCHASE OF HANDGUNS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
.
WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT AND TALKING ABOUT STANDARDIZING HANDGUNS
FOR THE OFFICERS OF THIS DEPARTMENT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. WE FINALLY
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN THE FORFEITURE ACCOUNT TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT
LOOKING INTO IT. WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL CALIBERS OF HANDGUNS AND
DECIDED TO STANDARDIZE WITH THE .40 CALIBER WEAPON. THE WEAPON OF
CHOICE IS THE SIG SAUER SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL walCH IN OUR ESTIMATION
IS THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE HANDGUN. ANOTHER "PLUS" IS THAT THE GUN
IS MADE IN TWO SIZES walCH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO FIT ALL OF THE
OFFICERS NEEDS.
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH "TACTICS LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPLY" WHICH IS
LOCATED IN ROBBINSDALE, MINNESOTA. WE PURCHASED NEW SHOTGUNS FOR THE
DEPARTMENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM THEM AND FOUND THEM TO HAVE THE BEST
PRICES. DELIVERY WOULD BE IN 6 TO 8 WEEKS.
WE WANT TO OUTFIT ALL FULL AND PART TIME OFFICERS WITH THESE
HANDGUNS AND HAVE 2 SPARE GUNS ON HAND IN CASE A REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED
OR AN OFFICER IS ADDED TO THE DEPARTMENT.
OUR PURCHASE WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
25 HANDGUNS WITH NIGHT SIGHTS, 25 EXTRA AMMUNITION MAGAZINES, 25
LEVEL 3 HOLSTERS AND 25 DOUBLE MAGAZINE CARRIERS. WE WILL ALSO NEED
NEW AMMUNITION.
THE TOTAL COST OF THE ABOVE ITEMS (EXCEPT THE AMMUNITION) IS
$21,125.87 walCH INCLUDES SALES TAX.
THE DEPARTMENT HAS 20 HANDGUNS AND 3 SHOTGUNS TO SELL. INSTEAD OF
TRADING THESE WEAPONS IN, THE DEALER WILL SELL THEM FOR US ON
CONSIGNMENT WHICH WILL BRING MORE MONEY BACK TO THE CITY THAN JUST
TRADING THEM IN. THEY CHARGE 15% PER GUN FOR THE SERVICE.

-,
OF THE ABOVE 20 HANDGUNS, 3 WERE PURCHASED FROM THE FORFEITURE
ACCOUNT AND 3 ARE CONFISCATED WEAPONS THAT CAME FROM OUR PROPERTY
ROOM. I WOULD LIKE TO RECOVER THE MONEY FROM THE SALE OF ALL OF THE
WEAPONS BUT I REALIZE THAT THE MONEY FROM THE 14 HANDGUNS AND THE 3
SHOTGUNS SHOULD GO IN THE GENERAL FUND, BUT I AM ASKING THAT THE MONEY
FROM THE SALE OF THE 6 HANDGUNS MENTIONED ABOVE BE ABLE TO GO BACK
INTO THE FORFEITURE ACCOUNT.
THE DEALER IS "GUESSTIMATING" THAT THE SALE OF THE 14 HANDGUNS AND
3 SHOTGUNS SHOULD BRING THE CITY ABOUT $2,000.00 AFTER DEDUCTING THEIR
CONSIGNMENT FEES AND THE OTHER 6 HANDGUNS ABOUT $1,000.00 AFTER
DEDUCTING THE FEES. I HOPE TO HAVE AN EXACT VALUE OF THE USED GUNS
FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 2nd. THEY ESTIMATE IT WILL TAKE 4 TO 6
MONTHS TO SELL THE 23 GUNS. THE CITY WILL GET MONTHLY CHECKS AS THE
GUNS ARE SOLD.
.
WE WERE ABLE TO TRY OUT SIG SAUER HANDGUNS FROM THE DEALER IN THE
CALIBERS WE WANTED TO CONSIDER FOR STANDARDIZING. ALL FULL AND PART
TIME OFFICERS IN THE DEPARTMENT WERE GIVEN A CHANCE TO SHOOT ALL OF
THE HANDGUNS. SOME OFFICERS PARTICIPATED, OTHERS CHOSE NOT TO. SOME
OFFICERS FAVORED THE .45 CALIBER WEAPON, SOME PREFERRED THE .357
CALIBER AND SOME PREFERRED THE .40 CALIBER HANDGUN. NO ONE SUGGESTED
STAYING WITH THE 9mm WEAPON WHICH MOST OFFICERS ARE CURRENTLY
CARRYING.
DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING SPENT FOR THESE HANDGUNS, I ALSO.
ASKED FOR A PRICE FROM "DON STREICHER GUNS" IN MINNEAPOLIS WHICH IS A
MAJOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPLIER IN THIS AREA. THEIR PRICE FOR THE
IDENTICAL ITEMS IS $22,227.88 ($1,102.01 HIGHER THAN "TACTICS"). I AM
ASKING THAT THE EXPENDITURE BE WITH "TACTICS LAW ENFORCEMENT".
WE HAVE SUFFICIENT MONEY IN THE FORFEITURE ACCOUNT TO MAKE THE
PURCHASE OF THE 25 HANDGUNS AND RELATED ITEMS.
SEE THE ATTACHED 2 PAGE MEMO FROM SERGEANT DAUFFENBACH, THE
DEPARTMENTS SENIOR FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR.
I WILL BE AT THE 4:30 MEETING ON DECEMBER 2nd TO DISCUSS ANY
CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE.

TO: CHIEF BEBERG
FROM SGT. L_ DAUFFENBACH
RE: CITY PURCHASE OF NEW FIREARMS FOR POLICE DEPT.
RECOMMENDATION : FOR THE CITY TO STANDARDIZE THE POLICE DEPT
WITH SIGARMS .40CAL SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOLS. TO INCLUDE NIGHT
SIGHTS, 2 EXTRA MAGAZINES, LEVEL 3 SECURITY HOLSTERS, AND
LEATHER MAGAZINE HOLDERS. PISTOLS COULD BE FIT TO INDIVIDUAL
OFFICERS AND SPECIAL ORDERED. SIGARMS MAKES THE .40 CAL IN 2
SIZES AND IF NEEDED "I.E. SHORT TRIGGER" FOR OFFICERS WITH
SMALLER HANDS ETC. THE SMALLER COMPACT MODEL WOULD ALSO FIT
INVESTIGATOR NEEDS.
DISCUSSION: RIGHT NOW THE CITY OF STILLWATER HAS 18 HANDGUNS.
THEY ARE IN CAL._ .357MAG, .38 CAL.. AND 9MM. SEE ATTACHED L.IST
FOR COMPLETE ACCOUNTING OF WEAPONS. THIS HODGE-POGE OF WEAPONS
IS NOT CONSISTENT. MOST OF THE WEAPONS ARE REVOLVER TYPE( ALL
BUT 4). THE STATE OF MINNESOTA P.O.S.T. BOARD HAS STOPPED
TRAINING OFFICERS 9 YEARS AGO WITH THE USE OF REVOLVER STYLE
WEAPONS AND THEY HAVE GONE TO SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOLS_ THIS
PRESENTS A HUGE PROBL.EM WITH THE NEW HIRED EMPLOYEES. ALL. HAVE
TO BE RETRAINED WITH CITY OWNED WEAPONS OR AS MOST HAVE CHOSEN
TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN GUNS. BY THE OFFICERS PURCHASING THEIR
OWN GUNS THIS HAS FURTHER CREATED PROBLEMS IN THAT SOME HAVE
PURCHASED DIFFERENT MANUFACTURES. EACH MANUFACTURER OF WEAPON,
SMITH AND WESSON, SIGARMS, BARETTA OR GLOCK OPERATE
DIFFERENTLY. THUS TRAINING HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE. SOME
OFFICERS HAVE SWITCHED WEAPONS SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN FURTHERING
THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM. OFFICERS DOING THE JOB OF POLICE
WORK SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THE JOB BY THE
EMPLOYER. THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE A HIGH PRICED PIECE
OF EQUIPMENT ON THEIR OWN. MOST POLICE DEPTS ARE STANDARDIZED
IN THE WEAPON ISSUED AND THE CAL..FOR ALL OFFICERS. THIS EASES IN
THE TRAINING AND ALSO GIVES THE POLICE DEPT. THE CONTROL OF
WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION CARRIED BY THE OFFICERS. THIS LESSENS
THE LIABILITY OF THE DEPT AND CITY. FOR THESE REASONS I
RECOMMEND A STANDARDIZATION OF WEAPONS FOR THE DEPT.
THE REASON MOST POLICE DEPTS HAVE GONE TO A SEMI AUTO PISTOL IS
THEY ARE EASIER TO SHOOT AND CONTROL THAN A REVOLVER STYLE. THE
RECOIL IS MUCH LESS ON A AUTO LOADER AND IS EASIER FOR OFFICERS
TO CONTROL. ACCURACY OF SHOOTERS HAS GREATLY IMPROVED WITH THE
SEMI AUTOMATIC OVER THE REVOLVER. SEMI AUTOMATIC HANDGUNS IN
THE LAST 20 YEARS HAVE BECOME VERY RELIABLE AND NEW SAFETY ITEMS
ON THE GUN HAVE MADE IT SAFE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
(See other side)
-.^.. ....
THE CITY CURRENTLY OWNS 3 SIGARMS IN 9MM_ THESE GUNS HAVE .
PROVEN TO BE RELIABLE AND IN MY OPINION ARE THE BEST SEMI AUTO
PISTOL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ON THE MARKET. THERE ARE OTHERS AND I
HAVE SEEN MANY OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS ON THE RANGE. SOME OF
THESE WEAPONS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED AND BEEN UNRELIABLE. FOR
SAFETY. ACCURATELY. EASE OF TRAINING AND RELIABILITY SIGARMS HAS
BEEN THE BEST. AGAIN THIS IS AN OPINION BUT I RECOMMEND SIGARMS
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
CALIBER OF THE WEAPON FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN MUCH DEBATED.
THERE ARE MANY OPINIONS AS TO WHAT IS "BEST". THERE ARE 4
CHOICES FOR US. THE 9MM. .357MAG .40CAL AND THE .45CAL. OF
THESE I RECOMMEND THE .40 CAL. THE .357 IN SIG IS A NARROWED
DOWN _40 CASE AND APPEARS TO BE A "STRANGE DESIGN" TO GET IT TO
PERFORM IN A AUTO LOADER. THE BIGGEST "KNOCK" ON THE 9MM IS THE
BULLET DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MASS. THE .45 CAL ALTHOUGH HIGHLY
DESIRED BY OFFICERS ON THIS DEPT. COMES IN ONLY ONE SIZE. THE
GRIP IS QUITE LARGE AND WOULD BE DIFFICULT FITTING ALL MEMBERS
OF THE DEPT. THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM WITH CAL. IS THE CARTRIDGE
USED FOR THE GUN. THE .40 CAL HAS THE MASS FOR THE BULLET. HAS
THE SPEED .COMES IN DIFFERENT SIZES OF GUNS AND IS CONTROLLABLE
FOR THE OFFICER_ FOR THIS REASON I RECOMMEND THE .40 CAL.
THE .40 CAL SIGARMS PISTOL COULD BE CUSTOM FIT TO EACH OFFICER.
ACCURACY IS THE NUMBER ONE IMPORTANT ITEM IN SHOOTING. TO GET A
SHOOTER TO SHOOT ACCURATELY THE GUN MUST FIT THE OFFICER. WITH
THE SIG. OPTIONS COULD BE ORDERED TO FIT SPECIAL OFFICER NEEDS.
.
ALL PISTOLS USED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOULD HAVE NIGHT SIGHTS.
THIS IS A NECESSITY. OFFICERS OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES IN LOW LIGHT
SITUATIONS AND IN THE CASE OF SIGHTING THEIR GUN THEY MUST HAVE
NIGHT SH~HTS.
THE CAPACITY OF THE .40 CAL SIG IN THE LARGE FRAME IS 14
ROUNDS. IN THE SMALLER FRAME IT IS 12 ROUNDS. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT OFFICERS CARRY 2 EXTRA MAGAZINES OF AMMO.
ACCORDING TO OFFICERS TRAINED IN WEAPON RETENTION THE HOLSTER
SHOULD BE A LEVEL 3 SECURITY HOLSTER. THIS IS THE HARDEST
HOLSTER FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET ACCESS TO THE OFFICERS WEAPON.
WITH TRAINING AND PRACTICE OFFICERS CAN GET AT THEIR WEAPON JUST
AS FAST AS A CONVENTIONAL HOLSTER BUT THE ADDED
SECURITY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE THE
OFFICERS GUN AWAY.
THE LAST ITEM TO BE ADDRESSED IS THE ISSUE OF WHAT TO DO WITH
CURRENT WEAPONS. THERE IS A STRONG DESIRE OF SEVERAL OFFICERS
TO PURCHASE THEIR CURRENT WEAPONS. IF THIS PROVISION COULD BE
DONE SOMEHOW. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY OFFICERS. SOME
OF THE OFFICERS WISHING TO BUY THESE GUNS HAVE CARRIED THEM FOR
OVER 20 YEARS. THEY ARE OF SOME SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO THOSE
OFFICERS. .

a personal residence is classified as
residential homestead).

Problems with Constant
Spending Calculation
Uses 1997 actual tax levy for 1998 without any
adjustments for inflation. (wages for union
contracts are budgeted at 3%)
Includes increase in state aid for 1998 ($47,841
or 2.4%)
Growth in City tax base from 1997 to 1998 is
included
. Annexation area is included in the tax capacity
total, without an increase in expenditures.
. The 1998 reduced class rates are used to
calculate the constant spending. (the State
changes the class rates, not the City).
Example of Impact
· Using the State's constant spending rate of
33.747% with 1997 tax capacity of $1) 780
equals constant spending of $600.70) not
$565.26.

Annexation Area Sewer and Water Trunk Utility Feasibility Study, Project 9626A
\l... ... /
DISCUSSION:
.
Attached is the completed feasibility study for Trunk Sewer and Water to serve Phase I of the
Annexation Area. The total estimated cost of trunk utilities to serve the Phase I development is
$1,849,720. This includes a sanit~ sewer force main from Neal Avenue down to 72n . A lift
station would be constructed at 72n to serve the entire Phase I area west of Long Lake. Watermain
would be extended from Northland Avenue along County Road 12 to near Manning Avenue. Also,
it would be constructed down 62nd to the west side of Long Lake.
In addition to these improvements, the developers would complete the trunk utility
construction through their developments. The storm sewer improvements are being considered
under a separate study. It is anticipated all the utilities proposed in this feasibility report could be
completed before August 1998, which would provide service to the new elementary school before
the 1998 school year.
Perhaps the largest issue regarding the trunk utility installation is the method of financing the
improvements. For the City to take on 1.8 million dollars of improvements, in addition to our other
obligations, would be extremely difficult and could have negative consequences on our bonding
capabilities. Therefore, staff has been working with the developers to come up with alternative
methods of construction and financing. We have developed a concept, which appears to have many
advantages to the City as well as the developers. The basic attributes of the concept are as follows:
1. The developers, or their representatives, would design, finance and construct most, or all of
the trunk utility improvements both on their property and through other areas not on their
property. Thus, the developers would complete almost all of the 1.8 million dollars of
improvements in this feasibility report.
2.
The City would oversee the completion of the plans and specifications and approve the plans.
During construction the City would oversee all construction and approve payments to the
contractor for work completed. The developer would provide full-time inspection for all
improvements. The City would be reimbursed for staff time spent reviewing plans and
specifications and coordinating and inspecting the project up to a maximum of four percent
(4%) of the total project cost.
.
,~- ~ 1
.
3.
The City would have ultimate authority over the utility installation with the ability to remove.
the developer's engineer or contractor from the project and tap into a performance bond or
line of credit to complete any work or improvements which the developer has failed to
accomplish.
Since developers would be installing virtually all the sewer and water utilities for Phase I,
they would be entitled to a credit for the project costs associated for providing trunk utilities
to Gadient and Bergmann properties. Since the developers will be subject to a storm water
area charge, (for storm water mitigation costs) the credit for trunk utilities could be in the
form of a reduced storm sewer area charge.
4.
5.
The City would make necessary trunk storm water improvements for the Phase I
development at City expense. The City would recapture its costs when Bergmann and
Gadient properties develop at which time all trunk utility charges would be captured.
The City would have the ultimate approval on accepting the improvements. Upon accepting
the improvements a one-year guarantee would be provided to the City for all improvements
made. All improvements and right-of-ways would then be turned over to the City.
6.
7.
The City would be responsible for obtaining all the necessary easements and access
agreements to construct these improvements off site from the developer's land. The cost of
the easement acquisition would be considered a total project cost, therefore could be part of
the credit the developers receive for the Bergmann and Gadient trunk utilities they install.
The developers have requested that they be allowed to install model homes within the Private.
development area before completion of all the utilities. This would be subject to review by
City staff for location and timing.
8.
This concept would be a unique way of approaching the installation of these trunk utilities. The
benefits to the City are that we do not have to carry all of the financing responsibilities and can avoid the
difficult issues associated with trying to assess improvement costs in the annexation area. The developers
benefit from this process because they have a more streamlined process which would provide for a faster
startup and earlier completion. In addition, it is anticipated that the developers can complete the
improvements for a lower total overall cost that benefits all parties. City staff, as well as the city attorney,
and developers have reviewed this concept. All parties are in general agreement with the concept.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council accept the feasibility report and direct staff to prepare a Developer's
Agreement that would implement the above-described concept.

Dear Council Members:
With your authorization, we are submitting the Feasibility Report for the Phase I Annexation Area
Sanitary Sewer Trunk and Water Main Trunk. This report was requested by the City Council.
This report covers the feasibility of providing sanitary sewer and water service to a portion of the
area recently annexed to the westerly City limits.
Our investigation has revealed the need for soil borings, easement acquisition and innovative design
sensitive to natural resources. This study explores cost recovery in a limited fashion.
The estimated total cost for the improvements is $1,849,720.
We recommend that the City Council and staff review the Feasibility Report and order a public
hearing.

Feasibility Report
Sanitary Sewer Trunk from Myrtle Street
(CSAH 12) to McKusick Road (County Road 64)
and Water Main Trunk South of Myrtle Street
Stillwater, Minnesota
Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
As a result of our investigation, it is concluded that:
1. Soils encountered at the proposed depths for gravity sewer are
incapable of supporting the required construction procedures without
substantially increasing the cost of the project.
2. Depths for alternate gravity sewer locations north of CSAH 12
rendered them uneconomical.
3. It is possible to construct a lift station on 72nd Street, south of the
new school, and forcemain on the originally-proposed gravity sanitary
sewer route.
4. The existing downstream sanitary sewers were designed for and/or
have the capacity to accept the increased flow from the annexation
area.
5. The proposed water main will best serve the development area if
looped to the existing system.
6. The water main size as proposed will provide adequate service to the
project area.
7. The water main size as proposed will provide sufficient capacity for
future source and storage facilities within the annexation area.
8. An 8-inch diameter water main will provide adequate service to just
the proposed school, if looped.
9. A lO-inch diameter water main will provide adequate service to just
the two proposed developments, if looped.

Introduction
This report addresses a portion of the trunk sanitary sewer required to
serve the Phase I annexation area between Manning Avenue (CSAH 15)
and the westerly city limits. This sewer service was addressed in the
City's Sanitary Sewer Comprehensive Plan Amendment dated
December 12, 1995. Sewer alignment follows closely the original
comprehensive plan of 1971. The segment covered by this report is
between Myrtle Street (CSAH 12) and the Railroad Museum tracks.
This report also addresses water service to the area between Myrtle Street
and Trunk Highway 36. Water service for the annexation area was
included in the comprehensive plan of December 1995. Water service in
this report consists of trunk water main connected to the existing city
system utilizing the present wells and storage.
Early construction of the Stillwater sewer system dates back to 1860.
Common to many river communities, the system was designed to
accommodate both sanitary sewage flow and storm water runoff. This
practice was continued in the City until about 1950 following which new
projects provided for separate sanitary and storm sewer facilities. The
combined sewers constructed before 1950 remain today for sanitary
sewers only. The system included trunk facilities which discharged flow
directly into the St. Croix River. In 1958 an interceptor sewer and
primary treatment facilities were constructed. The treatment facility was
expanded to include secondary treatment in 1970. This facility was taken
over by the Metropolitan Sewer Board in 1971.
A report was prepared by Banister Short Elliott Hendrickson and
Associates in May 1970 on "Reducing Untreated Combined Wastewater
Overflows to the St. Croix River." The recommendation of this report
was the construction of a separate storm sewer system.
Sewer separation was accomplished in 1972 and 1973, throughout the
original City. The combined sewer overflow discharge to the St. Croix
River was eliminated.
The remaining combined sewers now serve as sanitary sewers only. The
capacity of these sewers was addressed in the 1971 Comprehensive
Sewer Plan. Since the older sewers were part of a combined system
originally, all the sanitary sewers within the original town generally have
excess capacity.
The sewers that were constructed in 1981 along McKusick Road (County
Road 64) were constructed large enough to accommodate the flow from
the annexation area. The oversizing costs associated with this project
were reserved for future development (Le., annexation area). The
amount reserved is $245,103.

All of the flow data and background information for this annexation
(URTPA) area trunk sewer are contained in the 1995 Comprehensive
Plan Amendment.
All the trunk water main data is included in the December 1995 plan
amendment. The appendix of this report includes the computer printout
and schematic of the final computer run for the trunk water main.
The general location of the sanitary sewer project and trunk water main
is indicated on Drawing No.1.
Proposed Improvements
The sewer construction, which will be a part of Stillwater's plans,
specifications and construction observation, lies between 72nd Street and
the Minnesota Transportation Museum railroad tracks.
The proposed pipe diameters include 10 inches to 18 inches. Sewer
depths range from 10 feet to 25 feet. A lift station and forcemain are
included in this sewer system.
The trunk water main includes pipe diameters of 12 inches and 16 inches.
This system will be constructed as a part of development with plans and
specifications approved by the City. The trunk water main constructed
on 62nd Street to the development will be a City project as well as the
trunk water main constructed along Myrtle Street to Manning Avenue
(CSAH 15) for service to Independent School District (IS D) 834.
Location
The forcemain generally follows the proposed plat from 72nd Street to
the north, and then along the east side of the school property. The
forcemain tQen lies along the south side of Myrtle Street to the outlet for
Long Lake. The forcemain then follows the drainage way from the Long
Lake discharge between Myrtle Street and Boutwell Road. The proposed
location is under the "old" streetcar bridge and across the wetland area
south of Boutwell Road from the end of the drainage ditch. This ditch
stops at the "old" streetcar bridge.
After the forcemain crosses Boutwell Road, the alignment will closely
follow an existing ditch and wetland area for approximately 400 feet in
a northerly direction. The forcemain then angles easterly for about
160 feet and discharges into a lO-inch sewer to be constructed as a part
of this project. This sewer flows northerly 700 feet, thence easterly to
Neal Avenue at Eagle Ridge Trail. Sewer will be constructed north on
the centerline of Neal A venue.
The sewer then parallels the railroad tracks in an easterly direction to a
connection with the existing 24-inch sanitary sewer near the fifth tee on
the Oak Glen nine-hole golf course.

The forcemain is generally located on the bank of ditches and the edge of
wetlands outside any surface water course.
The sewer route is indicated on Drawing Nos. 2, 3, and 4.
It is proposed to jack under Myrtle Street and from Neal A venue east to
the connection with the existing sewer.
The proposed jacking under Neal Avenue, as opposed to open-cut, is
because of the close proximity of the house on Lot 1, Block 1 of the Oak
Glen 13th Addition.
The sewer will be constructed 30 feet south of and parallel to the railroad
tracks. This construction will be within railroad right-of-way and will
require a permit.
The sewer construction adjacent to waterways and wetland areas will
require the salvaging of the existing topsoil for replacement after
construction. This topsoil contains the right properties for reestablishing
the natural vegetation and therefore must be replaced within the same
area.
Soil borings taken in July 1997 indicate it is not economically feasible to
construct gravity sewer adjacent to the wetlands as originally proposed in
the comprehensive plans prepared previously. However, these plans were
prepared without the advantage of soil borings, and the proposed routes
were predicted based upon elevations and topography.
It is feasible, however, to construct a forcemain in this area.
The soils report prepared by SEH is included in the appendix of this
report.
The proposed forcemain route along the ditched outlet for Long Lake will
require the removal of the old streetcar bridge about 850 feet north of
Myrtle Street. This bridge is within the City of Stillwater property
containing the Long Lake Outlet ditch. The bridge has not served as a
transportation facility for many years and is becoming a liability for the
City. As a part of this project, it is proposed that the bridge be removed
and proper slopes constructed where the present abutments are.
The area disturbed as part of the construction project will be restored to
its natural condition. The exception to this restoration is the removal of
select trees which is required to install the sewer and appurtenances. A
hard surface access trail along the sewer and forcemain route has been
discussed. This trail system would also provide access to sanitary sewer
appurtenances in. the area and have secondary use as a pedestrian path.
The developers have reviewed the original sewer route adjacent to Long
Lake and the DNR property south of Myrtle Street which will be a part
of their plan preparation. The developers have determined that it would

not be economically feasible to construct the gravity sewer adjacent to the
DNR property. City Engineering staff has reviewed this, and they concur'
with the developer's findings. Therefore, the proposed lift station will be
constructed in the general location indicated on Drawing No.1.
By locating the lift station as proposed, future sewer service to Middle
Trunk "A" will be by a future gravity sewer constructed south from the
proposed sewer in Neal Meadows to Boutwell Road. This sewer would
be constructed westerly on Boutwell Road to the wetland area, thence
southwesterly to serve Boutwell Valley Estates.
Because of soil constraints in the wetland area, sewer depths to service
the entire Middle Trunk "A" by this means may not be possible.
Therefore, individual grinder pumps for certain properties may be
necessary for future service.
The northwestern segment of Middle Trunk "A" would st.ill be served
through Middle Trunk "B" as originally proposed.
The southwestern comer of Middle Trunk "A" will need to be served
south of Myrtle Street and provisions made in the proposed development
for this future service.
If a sanitary sewer is constructed on Boutwell Road as outlined above, it
would be possible to make a connection of the existing forcemain to this
sewer at that time; thus eliminating possible limited access for
maintenance.
The new school will be served south through the proposed development.
Providing service to the school will be part of the developer's project and
will need to be coordinated with the City and ISD 834.
The City project for trunk water main consists of connecting to the
existing 16-inch water main stub on the west side of CSAH 5, thence
constructing to the south edge of the development on 62nd Street; and
also constructing 12-inch trunk water main along the southerly edge of
Myrtle Street to Manning Avenue (CSAH 15). The 16-inch trunk water
main will be constructed by the developers through the development and
along Manning Avenue to Myrtle Street. The water main along Manning
Avenue will be 12 inches in diameter.
Although the location for a new municipal well was tentatively indicated
in the 1995 Comprehensive Plan Amendment, this area has been since
identified as not suitable for groundwater appropriation in the AUAR
document prepared fOl the City.
Also, since the Board of Water Commissioners found that their existing
supply system was close to maximum this past summer (1997), the need
for a new well in Phase I of the annexation development may be a
consideration to make at this time.

The City has plans for a park area near the new elementary school on
Myrtle Street, which has been considered a possible well site. We
recommend a test well be drilled in this area when the exact location of
the proposed new park is known. Depending upon water quality and
quantity, other test wells may be necessary within the Phase I area to find
a suitable location for a new municipal well.
Restoration for the water main construction consists of sod replacement,
bituminous roadway on 62nd Street, and trail replacement on Myrtle
Street.
Drawing No.5 indicates the trunk water main location.
Easements
The sewer route generally follows a platted drainage and utility easement
through the Neal Meadows and Boutwell Valley subdivisions. This may
not require additional. easement description and acquisition for the
construction of the sanitary sewer. As indicated on our Drawing No.3,
a portion of the sewer is not within the platted easement and will require
additional easement acquisition.
Easement acquisition will be required across Outlot A of the Neal
Meadows subdivision.
An easement will be required on the Oak Glen Golf Course for the
connection to the existing sanitary sewer.
South of Boutwell Road the sewer route proposed is within a platted
drainage easement, except the southwest comer of parcel 95030-2310.
Modifications to the existing drainage easement will be required to
construct the sanitary sewer forcemain. Parcel 95030-2310 will require
the acquisition of an easement for construction and maintenance of the
sanitary sewer forcemain.
The sanitary sewer and forcemain proposed between the old streetcar
bridge and Myrtle Street is all within City property and does not require
any additional permanent easement acquisition, except at the lift station
location.
Temporary construction easements will be required as indicated on
Drawing No.3. These easements revert back to the property owner once
construction is completed and restoration is final.
A permanent easement will be required for the lift station on the south
side of 72nd Street. An easement 75 feet by 75 feet is anticipated.
A permanent easement along the easterly property line of the school site
will also be required. Additional designated easements as a part of the
proposed development will be required at the time of platting. A cost for
easements from proposed developers has not been included in this report.

It is anticipated that the trunk water main construction will be within
public rights-of-way. Temporary easement will be required parallel to
CSAH 5, however.
Basis for Design
As a part of our study, we reviewed the 1971 Comprehensive Sewer Plan
and 1980-1982 updates, alignment and sewer flows. We also studied the
Annexation Area as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan on page 3-1.
This area was also addressed in the 1971 Comprehensive Sewer Plan.
We utilized the information gathered for the preparation of the sewer plan
amendment.
The proposed sewer route for the URTP A generally follows the route
indicated in the 1971 plan.
Peaking factors used were taken from a curve of the design average flow
versus the peak flow. Peaking factors were not used for calculated flows
from commercial/industrial and public use in accordance with standard
engineering practice.
The total wastewater design flow calculated in the 1971 Comprehensive
Sewer Plan was 4.29 million gallons per day (MGD). The flow
calculated as part of this report for the annexation area was 1.63 MGD at
full development. Traditionally, the more conservative calculation should
be used for design since all development plans are not known at this time.
Each subdistrict is calculated separately, so pipe size and capacity
requirements downstream from each subdistrict discharge point can be
predicted. This increases the design accuracy and permits the City
control of development in any given subdistrict by total allocated sewage
flow.
The City will plan for service only within the present City limits at this
time, with no anticipation of participation by the MCES for sewers
outside the proposed City limits unless sewer service is petitioned by
others.
All of the standards applied are in accordance with the Recommended
Standards for Sewage Works of the Great Lakes-Upper Mississippi River
Board of State Sanitary Engineers (commonly called the Ten State
Standards). Member states to this board include Minnesota.
These design standards also meet MCES criteria.
Dewatering will be necessary for the construction of this sewer.
Dewatering may require a DNR permit for construction. The contractor
will be responsible for securing these permits at the time of construction.
DNR regulations shall be followed when constructing near wetlands and
stream beds. Construction procedures such as saving existing top soils
containing native vegetation seed to be placed on top of the sewer trench

will be practiced. Erosion control with silt fence and floating silt fence
if required will need to be included in any construction plans.
As plans are developed for trunk sewer construction, all government
agencies will need to be contacted. Some of the agencit'1s involved are the
MPCA, MCES, DNR, Browns Creek Watershed, Washington County,
and the Metropolitan Council.
Construction is proposed in the winter in wetland areas. This will ease
any impact on the wetlands. The DNR is concerned about rock pipe
bedding providing a channel for groundwater to follow, thereby draining
the wetlands. Some type of restriction to groundwater flow will be used
as part of the proposed construction. This can be accomplished by using
a geotextile fabric in the trench enveloping the rock bedding and pipe or
with the use of check dams constructed at designated intervals around the
pipe. These check dams are typically constructed of concrete or bentonite
and encircle the pipe from trench wall thus blocking the water flow
between segments dammed.
The sewer depth ranges from 7 feet to 25 feet and is deep enough to serve
all the areas designated on the Comprehensive Sewer Plan for service to
the Mulberry Street Trunk Sewer.
Gasketed pipe will be used throughout the project to eliminate exfiltration
of waste into the groundwater and conversely, groundwater into the pipe.
Gasketed manholes will also be recommended. Ductile iron pipe is
proposed for the forcemain. This pipe will also require a polywrap for
corrosion protection.
Additional soil borings should be taken before any sewer design begins.
If the underlying soils in the area contain heavy clays, these soils may be
used as trench backfill thus creating an impervious area for groundwater
intrusion above the pipe zone.
If the water table is high, it may be necessary to dry the clay before
backfilling to obtain the desired compaction. If new developments will
not be constructed immediately, and some consolidation and settlement
of the trench area can be tolerated, the degree of compaction is not as
critical. However, if settlement cannot be tolerated, replacement backfill
within the upper portion of the trench can be used together with good
compaction standards. This replacement backfill will also be more
granular in nature.
It is proposed that all disturbed areas be graded with topsoil and restored
with seed. The native topsoil in wetland areas will be saved and replaced
within the wetland areas on top after sewer construction. These topsoils
usually contain native grass seeds and will assist in natural restoration of
the wetland area.

The proposed lift station will be 36 feet deep, with a 48-inch diameter
wet well and a 9Y2-foot diameter pump and control chamber. The pump
and control chamber will be steel, of standard City design. The wet well
will be a modified standard sanitary manhole.
The proposed pumps will be 340 gpm. The system will be duplex with
a maximum total head loss of 56 feet. The lift station cost includes the
cost of a portable generator.
The mitigation plan for trunk sewer construction follows the AUAR
document prepared for the City of Stillwater. Best Management Practice
will be used throughout the project for both trunk sanitary sewer and
trunk water main.
Maintenance Impact
Increased maintenance will be required of Public Works personnel for
periodical visual inspection of the sewer as well as cleaning. Daily
checks of the lift station by Public Works is current policy.
Access to some of the manholes on this route will not be possible unless
a linear paved pathway or new development is constructed over the sewer
route, wide enough to accommodate cleaning equipment. The cost of
constructing this pathway has not been thoroughly analyzed due to the
fact that its design must be coordinated with the storm sewer design. A
detailed analysis will be completed after the reports are finished.
Sewer maintenance for this project is not unusual from other City sewers
other than possible access problems. City crews will need to add time to
their maintenance schedule for this sewer and lift station. The Board of
Water Commissioners will need to add the trunk water main to their
normal maintenance schedule.
Cost Recovery
Estimated Cost
The estimated construction cost for this project is $1,849,720. This cost
consists of $1,036,825 for trunk sanitary sewer, $589,710 for trunk water
main, $121,700 for trail access, and $101,485 for easement cost. Detailed
cost estimates are included in Appendix A.
We have included 35 percent in the construction costs for contingencies,
engineering, legal, and fiscal costs which are customary for City of
Stillwater projects.
In addition to the construction cost of the sanitary sewer, we recommend
the City secure easements which are preliminarily indicated on Drawing
Nos. 2 and 3.

Basis for Assessments
The assessments are estimated upon the basis of developable acreage,
with existing township properties that will reasonably develop included
only for future connection charges. Property not presently designated for
development, but which is developable, is not included in the future
connection charges.
Estimated assessments for trunk sanitary sewer are calculated on an area
basis (acres), as indicated in Table 1.
We have not included the sewer oversize charge (SaC) for the aak Glen
sewer constructed in 1981 in the assessment estimate. This amount
($300/unit) is levied on individual units constructed for all three phases.
The sac included in the connection charge for future hookups in the
remainder of the project area is estimated on net area. The sac charges
are separate and not included in the proposed assessment amount. The
sac charges are typically collected on a unit basis as building permits are
issued. The total assessed cost in Table 1 does not include the sac
charges.

costs. The City could consider giving credit to the developers for
oversizing based upon the equivalent cost of a lO-inch diameter water
mam.

The City may consider providing credit to the developers for the
oversizing of sanitary sewer and, as stated above, the trunk water main.
Sanitary sewer oversizing consists of the increased flow from the Gadient
and Bergman properties. These credits should be reviewed by the City
Engineer, Finance Director, Attorney, and Fiscal Consultant at the time
of assessment. The credit is for oversizing the trunk sewer constructed
by the developers between 62nd Street and Myrtle Street.
The assessments are calculated on an acreage basis, with properties not
part of a newly platted development not being assessed at this time but
rather being charged as a connection fee whenever they connect to a city
sewer system.
The sewer parallel to CSAH 5 between Curve Crest Boulevard extended
and 62nd Street North is also a trunk sanitary sewer. This sewer is not a
part of this project, but it will serve some of the same properties as the
trunk water main future connections. Some of these properties could
develop in the near future, such as the Bradshaw property, Sid White
property, and Anderson property.
We have not included costs for this sewer in this report since it was
outside the scope and is covered in a preliminary report for the Bradshaw
property prepared by SEH as a roadway alignment for 62nd Street
Municipal State-Aid (MSA) and frontage road alignment along Trunk
Highway 36.
We have included a preliminary drawing in the Appendix depicting the
benefitting properties for additional information.

RE: Stillwater, Minnesota
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations Report
Sanitary Sewer Trunk
Myrtle Street (CSAR 12)
to McKusick Road (County Road 64)
SEH No. A-STILL9701.00
Mr. Klayton Eckles
City Engineer
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Eckles:
As authorized as part of the Feasibility Report for the Sanitary Sewer Trunk, Myrtle Street to
McKusick Road, we have conducted a preliminary geotechnical investigation for the proposed
alignment. This letter summarizes the findings of the investigation. Detailed discussions are
contained in the report.
The soil borings encountered variable conditions along the approximately 0.8-mile long alignment.
Along the southern 1350 feet and northern 1050 feet of the alignment, silty sand deposits were
encountered. The water table was encountered about 10 feet above the proposed sewer invert
elevation in those areas. Along the remainder of the alignment the soil borings generally encountered
loose, wet silts with variable groundwater table elevations.
With the exception of the southern 1350 lineal feet of the alignment, the soils are not conducive to
standard cut and cover trench construction. Even in the southern 1350 feet of the alignment,
extraordinary measures will be required to control groundwater.
Based on materials encountered in the soil borings, we estimate that up to $1.0 million, above and
beyond that required for standard cut and cover techniques, will be required to construct the pipeline
along the proposed alignment. A breakdown of the work tasks and costs associated with the $1.0
million is included in the report. A brief summary for the extraordinary costs is as follows:
1) Rock stabilization and sump pits, southern 1,350 1.f. - $17,500.
2) Micro-tunneling (or other measures) through wetland south of Boutwell Road - $410,000.
3) Well-point dewatering 1,130 1.f. north of Boutwell Road - $308,000.
4) Well-point dewatering, northern 1,050 1.f. - $275,000.

Estimation of these costs is based on the findings of our preliminary investigation. Due to the
magnitude of these costs, we had our assessment of the conditions confirmed by another geotechnical
engineer practicing in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
We recommend that additional geotechnical investigations be conducted if the proposed alignment
is to be considered further. In these investigations you may wish to include additional soil borings,
test pits geotechnical laboratory tests, piezometers to confirm groundwater elevations and variations
in groundwater elevation, and well pump tests to aid in the estimation of dewatering quantities and
costs.
We appreciate the opportunity to have served you in this project. If you have questions or require
additional information please contact Dave Hahn or me at 490-2000.
Sincerely,
Ronald B. Farmer, P.E.

Myrtle Street (CSAH 12)
to McKusick Road (County Road 64)
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project and Authorization
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical investigation
for sewer and water service extensions into the annexation area between
Manning Avenue and the westerly City limits in Stillwater, Minnesota.
The investigation was performed as a supplemental study associated with
our Feasibility Report, SEH No. A-STILL9701.oo, September 1997.
1.2 Proposed Project
The proposed extension of the sewer line is approximately 0.8 mile long,
running along a near north-south alignment. The southern end of the
proposed alignment is located near the intersection of County Road 12
and Northland Avenue. The northern end of the proposed alignment is
located near the intersection of Neal Avenue and the railroad line that
services the Zephyr. The sewer line is anticipated to be on the order of
25 feet below existing grade along the southern 3,300 feet of the
alignment. The northern 1,050 of the alignment extends through lowlands
associated with tributaries to Brown's Creek and will be about 10 feet
below existing grade.
1.3 Purpose
The purpose of this investigation was to identify soil conditions along the
proposed alignment, and to provide preliminary geotechnical
recommendations for construction of the gravity sewer pipeline, along
with cost estimates for extraordinary construction measures.
1.4 Scope of Service
The scope of services for this investigation included soil borings,
geotechnical evaluations of conditions encountered in the borings and this
report.

North of Boutwell Road the alignment extends along a drainage and
utility easement, in a low area, for about 900 feet. This area provides the
outlet for the pond located just south of Boutwell Road. The vegetation
in this area is wetland-type vegetation. Private homes exist to the east and
west of the alignment on "high ground" adjacent to the utility and
drainage easement located in the lower ground. The elevation difference
between the high and low ground is on the order of 15 to 20 feet.
The alignment leaves the creek bed area and extends along higher ground
for approximately the next 230 feet. This area is occupied by grass and
small trees adjacent to an existing com field.
The final 1,050 feet extends along a tributary to Brown's Creek in low
lying, wetland-type vegetation.
3.2 Geology
The alignment generally extends through areas covered with glacial
material deposited by the Superior Lobe (Cromwell Formation) of
Wisconsinan glaciation. The predominant materials consist of glacially
derived lacustrine sand and silt; and glacial till, sand and gravel deposits.
At the extreme north end of the alignment, holocene coarse alluvium is
identified in the Washington County Geologic Atlas.
3.3 Subsurface Conditions
3.3.1 General Qualifications
Subsurface conditions are variable along the alignment. Conditions in
each of the five soil borings varied significantly. Subsurface conditions
along the alignment will be described based on the materials encountered
in the borings. Variations in the soil conditions were encountered from
boring to boring and it is likely that additional variations exist that cannot
be determined from the borings or our review of general geologic
conditions along the alignment.
The terms used to describe the consistency (i.e., loose, medium dense,
soft, firm, etc.) of materials encountered in the borings are based on
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) blow-count data.
3.3.2 Boring B-1
Boring B-1 was drilled in an area identified as consisting of glacial ice-
contact stratified deposits consisting of sand, loamy (silty) sand and
gravel deposits. Conditions in Boring B-1 consist of 4 feet of surficial
topsoil (2 feet) and reddish brown sandy clay (2 feet) overlying medium
dense and dense reddish brown silty sand. The silty sand extended to the
maximum depth explored, 35 feet. Cobbles were encountered in the silty
sand to a depth of about 24 feet. Below 24-foot penetration the material
became very dense. Laboratory tests on selected sand samples above 24
feet indicated that the percentage of fines (particles passing a #200
Standard U.S. Sieve) varied from 22 to 33 percent in the samples tested.

The water table was encountered at a depth of 15 feet below the ground
surface in Boring B-1. The elevation of the groundwater (elevation 870)
coincides approximately with the groundwater elevation indicated for the
surficial groundwater table (elevation 860) published in the Washil'~ton
County Geologic ~tlas.
3.3.3 Boring B-2
Boring B-2 was drilled in an area identified as consisting of lacustrine
sand and silt deposits immediately adjacent to the pond located just south
of Boutwell Road. Materials encountered in the boring include a 3.5-foot
thick surficial layer of soft black silty clay topsoil overlying an
approximately 5.5-foot thick layer ofloose, wet silty sand. Below the silty
sand, soft and loose deposits of wet silt exist to a depth of 29 feet. Below
the silt, a very loose to medium dense silty sand was encountered to the
maximum depth explored, 35 feet.
The water table was found to exist at the ground surface at this location
and is likely a perched water table resulting from the pond, from surface
drainage, and from the Long Lake outlet channel. The materials in the
boring were found to be saturated, soft and loose to a depth of about
30 feet.
3.3.4 Boring B-3
Boring B-3 was drilled in an area identified as consisting of lacustrine
sand and silt deposits in the creek flood plain located just north of
Boutwell Road. The upper two feet of material encountered consisted of
soft, black silty clay (topsoil). Beneath the topsoil layer, soils consisted
of very loose to firm silts and medium dense sand with silt.
While a distinguishable water table was not identified while the boring
was being drilled, the water contents of the silt encountered from 19- to
35-foot penetration indicates that the material is relatively wet and near
saturation.
3.3.5 Boring B-4
Boring B-4 was drilled in an area identified as consisting of lacustrine
sand and silt deposits on "high ground" in a field just east of, and
adjacent to, tributaries of Brown's Creek. With the exception of a I-foot
thick surficial layer of sandy clay topsoil, the upper 7 feet of material
consisted of alternating layers of silty sand and sand. The sands were
predominantly medium dense. Below 7-foot penetration, a loose silty
sand extends to a depth of 14 feet. Below the silty sand, silts of varying
composition and consistency were encountered. The silts were often loose
and wet.
The water level was encountered at a depth of about 10 feet in the boring.
This places the groundwater level at or above the creek elevation adjacent
to B-4, elevation 895. This elevation is above surficial groundwater level

published in the Washington County Geologic Atlas and indicates the
presence of a perched water table. The majority of the samples recovered
in the boring below the lO-foot depth were identified as being wet.
3.3.6 Boring B-S
Boring B-5 was drilled in an area identified as holocene coarse alluvium
in the Washington County Geologic Atlas, adjacent to a tributary of
Brown's Creek. The upper 4 feet of material encountered in the boring
consisted of 2 feet of topsoil and 2 feet of loose wet sandy silt. These
materials are probably associated with deposition in the current low lying
floodplain environment of the creek. Below 4-foot penetration, a fine to
coarse silty sand was encountered to a depth of 19 feet. The material
graded from a sand with silt (SP-SM) to a silty sand (SM). The sand was
loose to a depth of 10 feet or greater. The sample at 15-foot penetration
was medium dense. The percentage of material passing the #200 sieve
varied from 12 percent at 7-foot penetration to 28 percent at 15-foot
penetration. Below 19-foot penetration, very loose to medium dense silts
were encountered.
The groundwater level in B-5 was encountered at the ground surface,
approximately 870. This elevation approximately coincides with the
groundwater table elevation published in the Washington County
Geologic Atlas.
4.0 Engineering Review and Evaluations
4.1 General
The engineering recommendations presented in this report are based on
the current proposed alignment of the sanitary sewer presented in this
report and the conditions encountered in the borings. If the alignment
changes, grade changes or if foundation conditions are encountered that
differ from those described in this report, it is necessary that we be
notified so that the recommendations may be reviewed and a
determination made whether or not revisions to our recommendations are
required.
4.2 Southern Portion of the Alignment, (Boring B-1)
This portion of the alignment extends from County Road 12 northward,
through the old streetcar embankment (or bridge) to the approximate
limits of the pond south of Boutwell Road. The alignment is proposed to
follow the east side of the outlet creek from Long Lake. The length of this
segment is approximately 1,350 feet.
The depth of the pipe trench will be on the order of 25 feet. The
excavation will extend into wet, medium dense silty sand below the
groundwater level. There is some question as to whether or not the
excavation can stand open below the groundwater level long enough to

pennit standard trench box -type pipe installation. There may be sufficient
fines in the silty sand to provide an apparent cohesion and minimize
seepage long enough to use a box. If it is possible to install the pipe in
this manner, it will probably be required to construct a bench to a depth
of about 13 feet well ahead of the final pipe trench. The pipe trench could
then be excavated from 13- to 25-foot penetration, minimizing the
amount of time to excavate below the groundwater level.
If the trench cannot be excavated with conventional trench-box methods,
dewatering of the silty sand will be required. Dewatering will likely
consist of closely spaced well points.
The bottom of the trench will most likely require stabilization with
crushed rock. If crushed rock is used, seepage dams should be placed
about every 500 feet along the alignment to minimize flow along the pipe,
through the crushed rock. The native silty sand can be utilized for the
seepage dams.
4.3 South Central Portion of the Alignment (Boring B~2)
This portion of the alignment traverses a distance of about 820 feet south
of Boutwell Road.
The pipe trench will extend to a depth of about 25 feet through loose,
soft, wet silts in a perched water table. The trench side slopes are likely
to be unstable and the silt is anticipated to flow into the trench. The
bottom of the trench, in loose silt, will likely heave.
In order to excavate the trench and install the sewer pipeline it will be
necessary to either stabilize the silt materials by dewatering, stabilize the
trench side walles) with sheeting and shoring, or install the pipeline with
micro-tunneling techniques. Installing the pipe using standard jacking
methods is not considered feasible due to the high probability that the
saturated silt would flow through the auger and into the casing. If
dewatering is utilized, the system will probably require well points with
an ejector system. Standard well points will probably be ineffective in
dewatering the silts.
If the pipeline is installed in an open trench, as opposed to micro-
tunneling, the bottom of the trench will require stabilization with crushed
rock. The loose silt will not provide a stable base for the pipe. It will
likely be necessary to excavate the loose silt to a depth of 29 feet (to the
top of the silty sand) and backfill with crushed rock in order to provide
a stable base for the pipeline.
In addition, if open trench construction is employed, backfilling for
manholes will require replacement backfill consisting of select granular
borrow. The native silt material will become very soft and pliable during
reworking. Attempts at compaction of this material during backfilling

this manner, it will probably be required to construct a bench to a depth
of about 13 feet well ahead of the final pipe trench. The pipe trench could
then be excavated from 13- to 25-foot penetration, minimizing the

through the crushed rock. The native silty sand can be utilized for the
seepage dams.
4.3 South Central Portion of the Alignment (Boring B-2)
This portion of the alignment traverses a distance of about 820 feet south
of Boutwell Road.
The pipe trench will extend to a depth of about 25 feet through loose,
soft, wet silts in a perched water table. The trench side slopes are likely
to be unstable and the silt is anticipated to flow into the trench. The
bottom of the trench, in loose silt, will likely heave.
In order to excavate the trench and install the sewer pipeline it will be

will likely result in tilting of manholes. The manholes should be founded
on the replacement crushed rock. Enlarged bases may be required in order
for the manholes to remain vertical during backfilling.
The constructibility of the pipeline in this area will be difficult due to the
moisture content of the silt soils. The soils will also become very unstable
due to rainfall. It will be difficult to impossible for construction
equipment to traverse the site in this area without some form of surface
stabilization of the silt and surficial black silty clay. It may be necessary
to place class 5 aggregate over a geotextile in order to obtain a passable
surface. Backhoes will probably need stabilization (mud) mats to operate
effectively.
4.4 Boutwell Road Crossing
If the pipe trench is open cut through Boutwell Road, the backfill should
consist of select granular borrow meeting the requirements of
MnDOT 3149.2B. The native material was found to have moisture
contents well above the optimum moisture content required for Standard
Proctor maximum density and will not be practical to compact properly
beneath a roadway.
4.5 North Central Portion of the Alignment (Boring B-3)
This portion of the alignment extends north of Boutwell Road for about
900 feet. The trench excavation will extend 25 feet through very loose to
loose silts to the anticipated pipe invert elevation. The physical
description on the boring log describes the silt materials as moist, but the
water contents indicate that the material is near saturation.
The trench excavation side slopes are likely to be unstable and squeeze
into the trench. It will be difficult to construct an effective working bench
from which to excavate due to the sensitivity of the silt to disturbance
from construction operations. Thus, it is likely that the silt will require
dewatering or sheeting and shoring in order to install the pipe line in an
open cut trench. The dewatering will likely consist of well points with an
ejector system. Standard well points will probably not be effective in
dewatering the silts.
If open cut trench methods are employed, crushed rock will be required
at the base of the trench in order to provide a stable surface for laying the
pipeline. Similar problems to that of Boring B-2 will exist for manhole
construction.
4.6 Northern Section in Elevated Area (Boring B-4)
This 230-foot long portion of the alignment will leave the creek-bottom
area and traverse relatively high ground. The upper 10 feet of the trench
excavation will take place in silty sands above the water table (with the
exception of the I-foot thick surficial topsoil layer). Below that depth, the

excavation will extend through generally loose silty sand and sandy silts
below the water table. Problems similar to those encountered at B-3 can
be anticipated.
4.7 Northern Section in Brown's Creek Tributary Floodplain (B-5)
The excavation for this portion of the alignment is anticipated to be on
the order of 10 feet deep at the B-5 location. The trench excavation will
extend through loose sand with silt (SP-SM) below the water table. It will
be necessary to dewater this material with well points or deep wells in
order to excavate the trench and install the pipeline. Deep wells may not
be as effective as well points due to the silt layer encountered at 19 feet
and the apparent tendency of the sand to get dirtier (contain more fines)
below about lO-foot penetration. If effective dewatering is not
accomplished, the sand will flow into the trench and the bottom of the
trench will most likely heave (or boil).
5.0 Estimated Additional Costs for Construction
5.1 General
Basic costs for construction of the sewer line in the newly annexed area
are contained in the SEH feasibility report for the Sanitary Sewer Trunk,
Myrtle Street (CSAH 12) to McKusick Road (County Road 64)
Feasibility Report, SEH # A-STll.L9701.00. The costs which follow are
for additional construction measures to either dewater or otherwise
stabilize a standard open-cut trench. For the area just south of Boutwell
Road a cost is provided to construct the pipeline using micro-tunneling
methods. The costs which follow are construction costs and do not
include costs for engineering and inspection.
5.2 Southern Portion of the Alignment, (Boring B-1)
Assuming that this area can be constructed with conventional cut and
cover methods, modified by the addition of a bench constructed to about
13 feet, additional costs will include crushed rock stabilization at the base
of the trench and sump pits appropriately spaced. It may be necessary to
construct the sump pits in advance of the excavation below the water
table.
Additional costs include approximately 800 cubic yards (CY) of crushed
rock at $12/CY plus the cost of sump pits. The cost of the sump pits,
including crushed rock, pipe and pumps is estimated to be on the order
of $2,000 per pit for 4 pits spaced every 500 feet. The estimated cost of
these additional measures is $17,500.

5.3 South Central Portion of the Alignment (Boring B-2)
The additional cost of micro-tunnel installation for this portion of the
project, over and above a standard cut and cover installation, is estimated
to be on the order of $500 per lineal foot of pipe line. For the 820 feet of
pipeline, the additional cost would be on the order of $410,000. This cost
would probably be less than the cost of a braced excavation with
associated dewatering and crushed rock base stabilization. The micro
tunneling would extend to the north of Boutwell Road and eliminate the
need for replacement granular backfill beneath the roadway.
5.4 North Central Portion of the Alignment (Boring B-3 and B-4)
Well-point dewatering without an ejector system is estimated to cost
about $130 per lineal foot of header pipe for installations of 1,000 lineal
feet. Using that price for this portion of the alignment, and assuming
header on both sides of the excavation, results in an additional cost of
about $300,000. Costs for adding an ejector or vacuum system, or the
potential reduction in costs due to economies in installing a substantial
system have not been estimated. The cost for crushed rock stabilization
at the bottom of the trench will be about $8,000. The cost of manhole
stabilization during backfilling has not been estimated.
5.5 Northern Section of Alignment (Boring B-5)
This portion of the alignment will likely require the installation of a well-
point dewatering system along both sides of the trench. The cost of the
dewatering system, at $130 per lineal foot of header pipe, for this portion
of the alignment is estimated to be about $275,000.
5.6 Summary of Additional Costs
Estimated additional costs for construction of the trunk sewer, above and
beyond that required for a typical cut and cover trench, are as follows:
· Southern....................................... $17,500
· South Central ............................... . . .. 410,000
· North Central ......................... . . . . . . . . .. 308,000
· Northern..................................... 275.000
Total Additional Construction Costs .... . . . . . . $1,010,500
6.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
Costs for additional construction measures (dewatering and stabilization)
to construct the proposed sanitary trunk sewer are estimated to be on the
order of $1.0 million. The estimate does not include costs for engineering
and inspection. This estimate is based on preliminary information, (5
borings for approximately 4,350 feet of pipeline) and may be somewhat

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING REPORT
As the client of a consulting geotechnical engineer, you should know that site subsurface conditions cause more
construction problems than any other factor. ASFE/The Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the
Geosciences offers the following suggestions and observations to help you manage your risks.
A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Based On A Unique Set Of Project-Specific Factors
Your geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsurface exploration plan designed to consider a unique
set of project-specific factors. These factors typically include: the general nature of the structure involved, its
size, and configuration; the location of the structure on the site; other improvements, such as access roads,
parking lots, and underground utilities; and the additional risk created by scope-of-service limitations imposed
by the client. To help avoid costly problems, ask your geotechnical engineer to evaluate how factors that change
subsequent to the date of the report may affect the report's recommendations.
Unless your geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise, do not use your geotechnical engineering report:
· when the nature of the proposed structure is changed, for example, if an office building will be erected instead
of a parking garage, or a refrigerated warehouse will be built instead of an unrefrigerated one;
· when the size, elevation, or configuration of the proposed structure is altered;
· when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified;
· when there is a change of ownership; or
· for application to an adjacent site.
Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility for problems that may occur if they are not consulted after
factors considered in their report's development have changed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical engineering report based on conditions that existed at the time of subsurface exploration. Do
not base construction decisions on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected
by time. Speak with your geotechnical consultant to learn if additional tests are advisable before construction
starts. Note, too, that additional tests may be required when subsurface conditions are affected by construction
operations at or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods. earthquakes, or ground water fluctu-
ations. Keep your geotechnical consultant apprised of any such events.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are Professional Judgments
Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken. The data
were extrapolated by your geotechnical engineer who then applied judgment to render an opinion about overall
subsurface conditions. The actual interface between materials may be far more gradual or abrupt than your
report indicates. Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from those predicted in your report. While
nothing can be done to prevent such situations, you and your geotechnical engineer can work together to help
minimize their impact. Retaining your geotechnical engineer to observe construction can be particularly bene-
ficial in this respect.
A Report's Recommendations Can Only Be Preliminary
The construction recommendations included in your geotechnical engineer's report are preliminary, because
they must be based on the assumption that conditions revealed through selective exploratory sampling are
indicative of actual conditions throughout a site. Because actual subsurface conditions can be discerned only
during earthwork, you should retain your geotechnical engineer to observe actual conditions and to finalize
recommendations. Only the geotechnical engineer who prepared the report is fully familiar with the background
information needed to determine whether or not the report's recommendations are valid and whether or not the
contractor is abiding by applicable recommendations. The geotechnical engineer who developed your report
cannot assume responsibility or liability for the adequacy of the report's recommendations if another party is
retained to observe construction.
Geotechnical Services Are Performed For Specific Purposes And Persons
Consulting geotechnical engineers prepare reports to meet the specific needs of specific individuals. A report
prepared for a civil engineer may not be adequate for a construction contractor or even another civil engineer.
Unless indicated otherwise, your geotechnical engineer prepared your report expressly for you and expressly for
purposes you indicated. No other than you should apply this report for its intended purpose without first
conferring with the geotechnical engineer. No party should apply this report for any purpose other than that
originally contemplated without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer.

factual report of our findings.
The City of Stillwater is planning to install a new sanitary sewer line
extending north of 75th Street North to the railroad tracks south of
McKusick Road North.
SEH, Inc. is designing the sewer line, and
requested soil borings and laboratory testing to aid in the design, and
to provide information for the utility contractors bidding on the
project.
SCOPE OF WORK
As per our contract, our work scope for this proj ect included the
following elements:
1. Explore the subsurface conditions along the
proposed sewer line with 5 Standard Penetration
borings drilled to 35 foot depth.
2. Perform the laboratory testing that you request.
3. Prepare a factual report of our exploration
procedures, and present the soil boring logs and
laboratory test results.
EXPLORATION PROCEDURE
Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) specified the number, depths, and
locations of the borings and staked the borings in the field. We

performed the field work on July 14 and 15, 1997, using a Boart
Longyear BK-51HD rig mounted on a Bombardier tracked carrier. SEH will
determine the surface elevations of the borings at a later date.
The drill crew advanced the borings with hollow stem augers fitted with
a removable center plug. They sampled the soil in advance of the auger
tip at 2 to 5 foot intervals of depth, in accordance with ASTM: D 1586.
The N-value obtained from this test is an index of the relative density
of cohesionless soils, and to a more approximate degree, the
consistency of cohesive and semi-cohesive soils.
The drill crew observed the boreholes for groundwater levels while
drilling and after completion. They backfilled the borings with neat
cement grout, to comply with Minnesota Department of Health
regulations.
The crew preliminarily classified the recovered soil samples in the
field. Representative portions of the samples were sealed in jars and
returned to the laboratory for further examination and classification,
in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. Logs of the
borings which indicate the depths and identification of the various
strata, the N-values, water level information, and pertinent
information regarding the method of maintaining and advancing the drill
holes, are included in the Appendix. Charts illustrating the soil
classification procedure and the descriptive terminology and symbols

used on the logs are also included.
We will keep the soil samples remaining after testing for one month
after the date of this report, and will then discard them, unless we
are contacted and directed to do otherwise.
LABORATORY TESTING
You requested that we perform two Atterberg Limit tests, two natural
moisture content tests, and 15 washed gradation tests. We performed
these tests in accordance with applicable ASTM standards. The test
results are included in the Appendix.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Soil Conditions
The subsurface conditions encountered at each boring location are
described on the logs included in the Appendix. We wish to point out
that subsurface conditions at other times and locations on the site may
differ from those found at our boring locations. If different
conditions are encountered during con8truction, it is necessary that
you contact us so that our recommendations can be reviewed.

August 4, 1997
Beneath about 2 to 3.5 feet of topsoil, the borings encountered a
variable profile of sand, silty sand, silt and clay, to the boring
completion depths. The N-values ranged from less than 1 to 52.
Groundwater Conditions
Borings 2 and 3 were dry during and after drilling. We encountered
free groundwater in borings 1, 4 and 5 at depths of 1 to 15 feet below
existing grade. Seasonal and annual fluctuations of the groundwater
levels will occur, depending on local variations of precipitation,
runoff, infiltration, and land use.
GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS
We determined the soil and groundwater conditions for this project at
five locations. Variations in the soil conditions were encountered and
it is probable that additional variations exist that cannot be
determined from our borings or our site reconnaissance.
STANDARD OF CARE
The soil testing services performed for this project have been
conducted in a manner consistent with that level of skill and care
ordinarily exercised by other members of the profession currently

Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the boring at the times indicated. In previous soils, the
indicated elevations are considered reliable ground water levels. In impervious soils, the accurate determination of ground
water elevations is not possible in even several days observation, and additional evidence of ground water elevations must be
sought.
GRADATION DESCRIPTION & TERMINOLOGY
Coarse Grained or Granular Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as:
boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are
described as: clays or clayey silts if they are cohesive, and silts if they are non-cohesive. In addition to gradation, granular
soils are defined on the basis of their relative in-place density and fine grained soils on the basis of their strength or
consistency, and their plasticity.

RE: City of Stillwater, Minnesota
Annexation Area Sewer
SEH No. A-STILL9701.00
Mr. Klayton Eckles, P.E.
City Engineer
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Eckles:
Please find enclosed an inspection report from our structural department for the street car bridge
which lies north of County Road 12 on the Long Lake outlet ditch.
This bridge is in line with the proposed sewer. We recommend removal as a part of the sewer
construction and replacement with a large culvert or open ditch with flatter side slopes.
The inspection form contains numbers for the rating of various segments of the structure. The
numbering system ranges from (9) new condition, to (0) critical condition. Number 3 means poor
condition-repair or rehabilitation required immediately. Number 4 indicates a marginal condition
with the potential for major rehabilitation. Number 6 is fair condition with the potential for major
maintenance.
Please review this report with City staff and provide us with your input. If you have any questions,
do not hesitate to call the undersigned.
Sincerely,
Richard E. Moore
Project Engineer

Based on the poor condition of the bridge, lack of function, high liability, exposure, and significant cost
associated with bracing or jacking for utility construction, it is recommended that the bridge be removed
and the approach embankment be sloped back.

RE:
Street Car Bridge over the Long Lake Ditch
SEH No. A-STILL9701.00
The abandoned street car bridge is located approximately 1,4 mile north of County Road 12 over the outlet
ditch from Long Lake. The bridge was constructed in the late 1890's as a street car connection from
Stillwater through White Bear Lake and on to St. Paul. The bridge was abandoned by 1930 with the
right-of-way transferred to the adjacent land owners and a public easement given for utilities and
maintenance of the ditch. An inspection was made on March 27, 1997 to appraise the condition of the
bridge and assess the effect of the bridge on the proposed construction of sewer and water utilities along
the ditch.
A MnlDOT bridge inspection report ~as completed, and is attached, that itemizes the condition of each
bridge element. The 18-foot long span sits upon massive 20-foot high concrete abutments. The concrete
beams and deck that supported the ballast and tracks is in poor condition. The headwall that retained the
ballast along the south edge of the deck is missing. No railings exist. The two concrete beams that
support the deck also serve as struts to hold the abutment tops apart and show signs of spalling and
deterioration.
The abutment walls extend parallel to the ditch. These two-foot thick abutments and wing walls have
horizontal cracks due to movement and also deterioration of the upper portion of the south wing walls.
The top of the abutment footings appear visible near the ditch bottom. These abutments are likely
supported on spread footings that would be vulnerable to undermining.
The utilities proposed are to be located through the bridge opening beneath the ditch at the bridge.
Excavating to the minimum 7-foot depth for the water main, and possibly as deep as 20 feet for the
sanitary sewer, presents significant stability problems fm the abutments and embankment. Removal of
this much soil below the front of the abutment would likely result in collapse of the bridge. Significant
bracing of the abutments and underlying soil would be required before an excavation of this magnitude
could be performed. Jacking of the utilities under the bridge or embankment would be another option.

Based on the poor condition of the bridge, lack of function, high liability, exposure, and significant cost
associated with bracing or jacking for utility construction, it is recommended that the bridge be removed
and the approach embankment be sloped back.

Request for Feasibility Report on Washington Ave. Median Improvements, Project 9804
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a letter from Iver Kammerud and Gale Running, representatives of the owners of
property located on the west side of Washington Avenue between Highway 36 and Tower Drive.
They are petitioning the City to complete a feasibility study on the viability of modifying the center
median and turn lanes to allow for better access to these properties off of Washington Avenue.
Currently the two properties in question only have right in and right out off of southbound
W ashington Avenue.
Making these median modifications could be difficult and' relatively expensive, therefore a
feasibility report is warranted to determine the possibility of making the modifications and
determine the costs. Mr. Kammerud was informed that these costs could exceed $50,000 and he
was still interested in pursuing the concept.
In order to proceed with this feasibility study, we may wish to change the format of the petition,
also we typically require an escrow for the estimated cost of the feasibility study to cover the
engineering costs in the event that the project does not proceed forward. It is estimated that the
cost of preparing the report would be approximately $2,500.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council consider the request to make modifications to the median on
Washington Avenue to allow additional access to bordering properties by ordering the preparation
ofa feasibility report, subject to receiving an escrow of$2,500 and verifying proper format of the
petition.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a motion
adopting Resolution No. 97-_, DECLARING ADEQUACY OF PETITION AND
ORDERING PREPARATION OF REPORT FOR MEDIAN RECONSTRUCTION TO
SERVE LOT 2, BLOCK 1 AND LOT 8, BLOCK 2 STILLWATER INDUSTRIAL PARK
(PROJECT 9804)
RESOLUTION NO. 97-
DECLARING ADEQUACY OF PETITION AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF
REPORT FOR MEDIAN RECONSTRUCTION TO SERVE LOT 2, BLOCK 1 AND LOT
8, BLOCK 2 STILL WATER INDUSTRIAL PARK
PROJECT 9804
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA:
1. A certain petition requesting the improvement of median reconstruction on
Washington Avenue to serve Lot 2, Block 1 and Lot 8, Block 2, Stillwater Industrial Park, filed
with the council on December 2, 1997, is hereby declared to be signed by the required percentage
of owners of property affected thereby. This declaration is made in conformity to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 429.035.
2. The petition is hereby referred to Klayton Eckles, City Engineer, and he is instructed to
report to the council with all convenient speed advising the council in a preliminary way as to
whether the proposed improvement is feasible and as to whether it should best be made as
proposed or in connection with some other improvement, and the estimated cost of the
improvement as recommended.
Adopted by the council this 2nd day of December, 1997.

November 4, 1997
Mr. Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
City of Stillwater
216 N. 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082-4898
Dear Mr. Eckles:
Thank you for meeting with me on 10-31-97 to discuss the best way to secure ingress and egress
to Lot 8, Block 2, Stillwater Industrial Park, which is owned by the State Bank of Dennison, and
Lot 2, Block 1 of Stillwater Industrial Park, 2nd Addition, which is owned by Border
Development, L.L.C.
At this time, we would like to petition the City of Stillwater to do a median cut to allow
north-bound Washington Street traffic to enter at 1946 Washington Ave. S. This, of course,
would mean that the ingress and egress at this address would possibly have to be widened to
allow for 2-way traffic. The State Bank of Dennison would then have the permanent easement
for egress from the bank property from the above-referenced lots.
Border Development, L.L.C. is signing this petition as owners of Lot 2, Block I of Stillwater
Industrial Park, 2nd Addition to request egress onto Washington Street from their property for
traffic going south. The egress would be located on the south end of their property.
Please let me know if any further information is required.
Sincerely,
Ju

Dear Mr. Kriesel:
The 1997 Legislature passed new legislation affecting the Local Board of Review
process. This new legislation, a copy of which is enclosed, only affects those cities
where the assessment function is performed by the County Assessor. In Washington
County, this would give those cities/townships which contract with Washington County
for assessment services, the option to transfer their duties as a local board of review.
The statute requires that an alternative review option like an "open book" meeting be
made available to the taxpayers in cities which exercise this option.
This statute was passed to address some problems which existed around the State
concerning boards of review lacking a quorum or not performing as the law prescribes.
This letter is to inform you about the new statute and the option it provides to the Local
Board of Review process. For the most efficient expenditures of taxpayer's dollars, I
would encourage your Board/Council to adopt this appeal process change.
The taxpayers would be selVed on an one-to-one basis, with county staff providing
support.
Please have your Board/Council act on this and respond to me in writing by December
1st, if possible.
If after reviewing the statute, you have any questions or need any additional
information, please feel free to contact myself or Judy Ellis at 430-6093.
Sincerely,
sro~~
Washington County Assessor

Re: Stillwater lift bridge sidewalk repairs
The construction period for the sidewalk replacement project on the Stillwater lift bridge has been
modified. The projected completion date of May 15, 1998 has been changed to June 6, 1998. This
change is due to anticipated material delivery time periods. Work on the sidewalk is scheduled to
begin in early April. It is uncertain how the spring runoff will affect this schedule. The project
letting date is still January 23, 1998.
Letters were sent to a number of agencies and other interested parties on October 6th to notify them
of the project and solicit comments. Comments were received from the following:
· US Coast Guard
· US Army Corp of Engineers
· Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
· Minnesota State Historical Preservation Office
Comments received have been incorporated into the project. No permit needs were identified. Issue
areas included:
. Containment of debris removed from the bridge such that it does not enter the river,
. Procedures to follow to decontaminate construction equipment to address potential Zebra
Mussels concerns,
· Navigational issues.
The Coast Guards lift schedule for the bridge begins on May 15th. The proposed sidewalk work will
not interfere with the operation of the lift spans schedule.
If you have any questions regarding this project I can be reached at (612)582-1320.

The above-entitled matter came on for hearing at the Washington
County Government Center, Stillwater, Minnesota, on October 24, 1997, on
motions filed by both parties. Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Summary
judgment on its claims against Defendants and for dismissal of Defendant
Hansen's counterclaim. Defendant Hansen has moved for dismissal of the
City's Complaint.
David T. Magnuson, Esq., and James G. Golembeck, Esq., appeared
on behalf of Plaintiff. Defendant Hansen appeared personally, acting pro se.
Defendant Koosman has not made a formal appearance in this action.
.
'f
.
.
.
Both parties filed Memorandums of Law, affidavits, and exhibits,
including maps dating back to 1874. Both parties made verbal presentations
on October 24, 1997. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court went to the
Hansen property with Defendant Hansen and Mr. Magnuson to view the
property in dispute.
The City has moved the Court for summary judgment or to dismiss
Defendant Hansen's counterclaim for monetary damages and has moved for
summary judgment on its declaratory judgment action to enforce a cartway
easement. Defendant Hansen has moved for dismissal of the declaratory
judgment action on the following grounds: (1) no public highway traverses her
registered land; (2) the City has failed to maintain the alleged highway in
continuous repair; (3) Defendant Hansen's fence does not barricade a public
highway; (4) the City is estopped from claiming utility easements based on its
failure to record the easements obtained from Defendant Hansen; and (5) the
City is estopped for failure to sue adjoining property owners to enforce the
same public highway easement.
After reviewing the affidavits, depositions, and exhibits filed by the
parties, this Court has concluded that there are no genuine issues of material
fact with respect to the City's declaratory judgment action. The parties
2
.
motions shall be considered cross-motions for summary judgment on this
.
portion of the case.1
Based upon all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, the Court
makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The oldest documented deed which has been filed as an exhibit in
these proceedings is a warranty deed dated September 30, 1946, between
Henry J. Radke and Clara L. Radke as sellers and Ernest L. Peaslee and
Jane Peaslee as buyers. The deed is recorded in Washington County, Deed
Record 153, Doc. #150257, filed for record on December 15, 1947. The
property is legally described, in part, as follows:
.
All that part of a certain tract known as the "Quarry Lot" in
Government Lot 2, Section 34, Township 30 N., Range 20 West,
City of Stillwater. . . .
The property purchased by the Peaslees includes the property in dispute,
hereinafter referred to as the "Hansen Property," together with a portion of the
property currently owned by the Chandlers. (See Defendant's Exhibit 33 for
a full legal description.) The legal description includes a 20-foot wide
1An index of the affidavits and exhibits submitted by the parties and
considered by the Court is attached to the Memorandum of Law.

.
.
easement that runs along the south line of the Hansen property to Fourth
Avenue South (now called Quarry Lane) and continuing "north along the
center line [of 4th Ave. So. extended] to the westerly line of South Main
Street; and also. . . south along said center line [of Fourth Ave. So. extended]
200 feet." The center line of South Main Street marked the boundary line of
the Peaslee property running from southeast to northwest. (A copy of a
portion of the map attached to Exhibit 33 is attached hereto.)
2. The Peaslee property was part of a former limestone quarry. The
quarry was located on the south hill overlooking downtown Stillwater and the
St. Croix River. South Main Street runs from Stillwater south to Bayport at the
bottom of the bluff. The property drops approximately 50 feet from the bluff
line to the base of the bluff along Main Street.
3. A cartway, approximately 10 feet wide appears on the historical
maps of the area running from the end of 4th Avenue south along what is now
the extension of 4th Avenue South across the quarry to the top of the bluff,
then traversing the bluff at an angle down to Main Street. The road was used
by the quarry to haul limestone down to Stillwater in horse-drawn carts. It
was also used by the people who lived on the south hill overlooking downtown
Stillwater to get to their jobs on Main Street as well as to the river and the
4
sawmill. Up until 1931, people traveled by foot, wagon, and automobile on
that cartway. The road was lighted at the top end of 4th Avenue South, in the
middle, and at the bottom of the hill where the cartway intersected with Main
Street (near the current location of the Oasis Restaurant).
4. Today's Stillwater is considerably different from what it was in the
mid-1880's. The City developed as a lumber town with five sawmills and a
boom company providing the primary industry and employment. There was
also the limestone quarry on the south hill, a state prison at the north end of
town, and several breweries. The Hersey, Bean & Brown Sawmill was
located on South Main Street just below the quarry. A chimney had to be built
from the sawmill to the top of the bluff in order to obtain proper draft for the
burning of sawdust and scrap material. An underground tunnel to the
chimney was built under the cartway. Main Street was just a narrow road at
that time, and businesses and houses were located at the bottom of the bluff.
The area was referred to as Slab Alley because the homes were built of slab
wood from the sawmill. Businesses included a blacksmith shop, a tavern, and
others. The sawmill chimney is still located on the top of the bluff on Ms.
Hansen's property.
5
.
.
.
.
.
.
5. People also used the cartway from the south hill down to Stillwater
to collect wood from the sawmill and deadwood from the river as fuel for their
homes, particularly during the Depression. It also provided them with access
to the river for fishing and boating, as well as access to the grocery store,
bakery, and other shops in Stillwater.
6. In the early 1930's, Main Street was widened by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation and concrete steps were installed at the bottom
of the cartway. The cartway continued to be used for pedestrian traffic until
the 1980's.
7. From the 1930's to 1983, the Stillwater Public Works Department
allocated two crewmen to maintain the old cartway. They shoveled the stairs
and cleared snow from the cartway in the winter, mowed the grass in the
summer, and cut down the brush.
8. In 1965, a heavy rainstorm damaged the east side of the cartway,
but it remained open and was used by residents walking up and down the
bluff between their homes on the south hill and their jobs and shops in
downtown Stillwater. The storm knocked out the light pole in the middle of the
cartway ,and NSP failed to replace it.
6
9. Based upon the foregoing facts, there was a public dedication of the
.
cartway pursuant to Minn. Stat. 9160.05 based upon its public use and
maintenance prior to 1931 and its continued use and maintenance by the City
following 1931 for pedestrian traffic.
10. Between 1980 and 1983, the Connolly Shoe Factory, the Maple
Island factory, Smeads Factory, and the St. Croix Manufacturing Factory all
closed down. The employees of these factories were the primary users of the
cartway, and as a result of these closings, the foot traffic on the cartway
dropped off, and the City stopped its maintenance. Between 1983 and 1994,
the cartway became overgrown with brush and suffered further erosion.
11. In March of 1985, Ernest M. Peaslee commenced an action in
.
Washington County District Court File No. C3-84-2880 to register title to his
property. The City of Stillwater was served and notice was published in the
Stillwater Gazette. The Order and Decree of Registration was filed July 26,
1985. The City did not appear in the registration proceeding. The property
was legally described as:
That part of the so-called Quarry Lot of Block 18, Hersey, Staples
& Co. 's Addition, as amended by Myrod Shepherd's Perfected
Plat of the City of Stillwater according to the plat thereof. . . being
in Government Lot 2, Section 34, Township 30 North, Range 20
West, City of Stillwater, Washington County. . . .
7
.
.
.
.
The full legal description appears in Exhibits A and B attached to the
Registration Order. The property description in Exhibit A describes the
property currently owned by Harvey and Mary Ann Chandler. Exhibit B
describes the property currently owned by Defendant Hansen. The two
descriptions both refer to two 20-foot wide easements, one of which bisects
the two properties and the other of which runs north and south from South
Main Street to 4th Avenue South. The "Hansen" property is in the shape of
an irregular pentagon. The northern-most property line is described as
running along South Main Street at the bottom of the bluff, while the eastern-
most line runs down a line 10 feet west of the center line of 4th Avenue South.
These "easements" do not cross over the deeded property but are reflected
in current surveys as "apparent gap" in legal title. (See copy of Exhibit 1,
1996 map attached hereto.)
12. The Peaslee property was originally registered as Certificate
#42417 found in Register of Titles 103, page 233, Washington County
Minnesota District Court proceeding C3-85-2880. Certificate #42417 has
been transferred to Certificate #42937, Register of Titles 137, page 175.
13. In 1985, when Peaslee commenced his title registration action, the
maps available to the City of Stillwater indicated that a 20-foot easement
8
existed due north from the 4th Avenue South extension to South Main Street.
The maps indicated that steps were located on that easement.
14. Clark and Victoria Nyberg bought the property described in Exhibit
B of the registered property and built a house in 1989.
15. Defendant Hansen bought the property from the Nybergs in 1991
with a closing in January 1992.
16. Defendant Hansen is currently a real estate broker having obtained
her license in 1995. She is the owner of St. Croix Realty of Stillwater. Prior
to her becoming a licensed broker, she sold real estate for Edina Realty,
Burnet Realty, Realty World, and Stillwater Realty. She has a bachelor's
degree in business economics and a double major in history from Macalester
College in 1978.
17. Defendant Hansen was born and raised in Stillwater and lived on
the North Hill for 12 years until 1948. She had not seen the property on the
South Hill until she bought it in 1991.
18. At some time prior to Defendant Hansen's purchase, the paved
road from the end of 4th Avenue South was extended along the easement
noted on the Peaslee warranty deed of 1946. At the end of this extension, the
9
.
.
.
.
.
.
City installed a guardrail. The bluff drops off approximately 15-20 feet to the
north of the guardrail.
19. When Defendant Hansen purchased the property from the Nybergs,
she was given a survey map prepared by Art Holm, dated August 15, 1975.
The survey map indicates a 20-foot easement with 10 feet on either side of
the center line of 4th Avenue South extension, running due north to intersect
1
with South Main Street/Highway 212. Defendant Hansen was aware of the
easement before she purchased the property. The guardrail at the north end
of 4th Avenue South extension, crosses that easement.
20. Defendant Hansen also received a map that depicts a flight of stairs
at the north end of a straight easement from 4th Avenue South extension as
it meets Main Street. The easement is labeled on the map as an "apparent
gap."
21. Defendant Hansen was not aware of the pathway down the hill at
the time she purchased the property. In the Spring of 1992, she walked down
the path to the concrete steps. (The steps are located below her neighbors'
home). According to Defendant Hansen, the pathway was overgrown and
only two feet wide. The bluff had eroded, leaving small ravines and
crevasses that she had to jump over.
10
22. In 1994, when the City was preparing for a sewer and water line
project on the South Hill, it came to its attention that the easement described
in the original Peaslee warranty deed and the registered deed of 1985) and
depicted on the City's maps did not conform to the actual location of the
historic cartway that had linked 4th Avenue South to South Main Street.
23. In June 1994, the City entered into two Utility Right of Way
Agreements with Defendant Hansen as part of its sewer and water line project
for the South Hill. One agreement provided for the installation of a sewer line
and water line "that generally follows what is known as Quarry Lane that
begins at the intersection of Quarry Lane and an extension of Fourth Avenue
South." The second agreement provided for the installation of a sewer line
"that generally follows what is known as the Quarry Path that begins at the
intersection of Quarry Lane and an extension of Fourth Avenue South and
travels down and upon the pathway surface until the pathway intersects with
Main Street, also known as Minnesota State Highway 95." The City agreed
to pay and did pay Defendant Hansen $6,000.00 for any claims she "might
have against the City by reason of the construction and maintenance of the
sewer" down the pathway to Main Street.
II
.
.
.
.
.
.
24. Work on the two utility lines was completed in late 1994. Part of the
agreement with Defendant Hansen and the other landowners affected by the
project called for the restoration of their property. The City repaved Quarry
Lane but an issue arose with Defendant Hansen as to how to restore the
Quarry Path. In October 1994, the City sodded over the pathway used to run
the sewer line down the bluff to the steps leading down to Main
Street/Highway 95.
25. Defendant Hansen claims that since the pathway was sodded,
more people have been using the path to walk to and from Stillwater. In order
to prevent people from using the path, Defendant Hansen had Bachman's
construct a boulder wall and plant roses. She has also installed a wire fence
and brush has been placed across the path further down the pathway. In
1995, Defendant Hanson posted no trespassing signs on her property and
has told walkers they are on private property.
26. The boulder wall installed by Bachmans crosses the historical 20-
foot easement and was placed on property that lies to the east of Defendant
Hansen's property line.
27. During the pendency of this litigation, the City discovered that the
Minnesota Department of Transportation had acquired an easement when

they widened Main Street in 1931 that runs along the base of the bluff on
Defendant Hansen's property. This easement does not appear on the
Certificate of Title. Defendant Hansen acknowledges that the MNDOT
easement does exist.
28. Cindy Koosman is serving as Registrar of Titles of Washington
County, Minnesota, and is named as a party defendant in that capacity solely
for the purpose of effectuating the relief sought by Plaintiff.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, together with the attached
Memorandum of Law incorporated herein by reference, the Court makes the
following:
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. There has been a public dedication of a cartway extending from the
north end of 4th Avenue South, north to the bluff line of the South Hill of
Stillwater, thence gradually traversing the bluff in a northwesterly direction
across Defendant Hansen's property from the eastern border of her property
at the top of the bluff until intersecting with Main Street (now Highway 95) at
the bottom of the bluff at or beyond the northernmost corner of her property.
2. The Marketable Title Act, Minn. Stat. 9541.023, does apply to claims
that a road has been established by statutory dedication.
13
.
.
.
.
.
.
3. The City of Stillwater has a recorded interest in a road easement
between the end of 4th Avenue South and Main Street. The road easement
does not accurately describe the location of the dedicated public road.
Reformation of the deed and Torrens Certificate is warranted.
4. The City of Stillwater has never abandoned the dedicated public
cartway.
5. The City is not estopped from asserting the public's interest in a
dedicated highway by virtue of its failure to participate in a 1985 action to
register title.
6. The City is not estopped from asserting the public's interest in a
dedicated highway based upon its payment of $6,000.00 for use of the Quarry
Path to install a sewer line.
7. The Recreational Use Statute, Minn. Stat. 9641A.27, is inapplicable
to the City's claim to a dedicated public highway.
8. The City is obligated to replace all property survey monuments
removed during construction of the utility lines.
9. There is no private duty owed by the City to Defendant to exercise
its police power so as to prevent trespass on Defendant Hansen's property.
14
10. The City is immune to claims for monetary damages arising out of
an alleged failure to exercise a discretionary function.
11. Defendant Hansen has interfered with the public's right to travel on
the Quarry Path.
12. Defendant Hansen has encumbered a public easement with the
installation of a boulder wall on property lying to the east of her property line.
13. Defendant Hansen has failed to state a claim for encroachment on
private property.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED
that:
1. Plaintiff is hereby granted declaratory judgment that the path from
Fourth Avenue South to its junction with Main Street, an area commonly
known as"Quarry Path," is a public highway pursuant to Minn. Stat. 9160.05.
2. Defendant Hansen is hereby enjoined from interfering with,
impeding, or frustrating the rights of the public to travel upon "Quarry Path."
3. Defendant Hansen is hereby ordered to remove the boulder wall and
all other fences, brush, or other obstructions placed or installed across the
public right of way.
15
.
.
.
"
.
.
.
4. Plaintiff is hereby ordered to undertake a survey, at its own expense,
to determine the actual legal description of the traveled portion of the
extension of 4th Avenue South to Main Street. Upon filing of that survey and
legal description, the Court shall order the Registrar of Titles to memorialize
the legal description of said highway upon Certificate of Title #42937.
5. Defendant Hansen's counterclaims for monetary damages are
DISMISSED.
6. Plaintiff shall restore all property monuments removed during
construction of the utility lines.
7. That the Washington County Court Administrator shall serve a true
and correct copy of this Order by U.S. Mail upon counsel for Plaintiff, upon
Defendant Hansen at her address, and upon Defendant Koosman in her
capacity as Registrar of Titles. Such mailing shall constitute due and proper
service of this Order for all purposes.
LET JUDGMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY.

Draft Permit for NSP's Allen S. King
Generating Plant
Facts about
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) has proposed issuing a draft pennit for
Northern States Power Company's Allen S. King
Generating Plant, located in Washington County,
Minnesota.
The proposed permit is are-issuance of the total
facility operating permit. The last total facility
pennit was issued May S. 1993.
The Facility
NSP's Allen S. King Generating Plant is an
electric generating facility located at I 103 King
Plant Road in Bayport. The plant began
operations in 1968. The facility's emission units
consist of boilers, fuel and asb storage and
handling equipment, and emergency diesel
engines.
The facility's main power boiler (Boiler No.1)
has a generating capacity of 550 megawatts of
electricity. It is equipped with an electrostatic
precipitator to control particulate matter
emissions mm the boiler. The plant controls
sulfur dioxide emissions by using fuel blends
with low-sulfur coal. The primary fuels for
Boiler No.1 are coal and petroleum coke.
The proposed permit also allows Boiler No. 1 to
bum wood, natural gas, and limited auantities of
used oil, non-hazardous petroleum-contarninated
cleanup material, non-hazardous waste from
cleanup at manufactured gas plants (see below)
and non-hazardous, non-chlorinated organic
materials such as paper and grain.
The facility also has three auxiliary boilers.
Boiler NO.2 bums natural gas or distillate oil.
Boiler Nos. 11, 12 and 13 bum natural gas 01'
propane.
Potential sOurces of particulate matter emissions
include fuel and ash storage and handling
equipment (such as railcar, truck and barge
unloading facilities; the barge unloading facility
is not currently in use), coal and petroleum coke
stockpiles, and fuel crushing and con-veying
equipment. Emissions from these sources are
controlled by enclosures, fabric filters, water and
other dust suppressants.

Emissions
On the following page is a summary of the
facility's ':Potential to Emit" and actual
emissions in tons per year in 1994.

Summary of Potential to Emit and Actual Emissions
Pollutant
The Draft Permit
The draft peonit does not allow fur new
construction nor change emissions limits. Most
operating conditions of this pcnnit remain the
same as in the previous permit. Changes from
past pennits include:
. authorization to bum waste from
manufactured gas plant cleanup activities;
. identification of potential air emission
sources from coal and ash hmtdling not
included in previous permits;
. updated requirements pertaining to
continuous emissions l11OI1itors, stack testing.
compliance tracking and monitoring control
equipment operation; and
. addition of a requirement to model ambient
air impa.cts of particulate matter, sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
The draft permit also requires the facility's
boilers to comply with acid rain requirements.
These include: 1) monitor emissions of sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide,
along with the gas flow rate, and 2) hold sulfur
dioxide allowances fur each ton of sulfur dioxide
emitted after Phase D of the acid rain program
takes effect January I, 2000.

Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP)
Waste
"
In recent years, at a number of sites in
Minnesota, waste has been found from a
discontinued process of manufactUring gas from
coal, coke and oil. This manufactured gas plant
(MGP) waste is mainly two substances: soil
contaminated with coal tar, a thick liquid
material th.c'lt looks like crude oil; and purifier
wastes (also known as "spent oxide box filler")
which is also often mixed with soil and consists
mainly ofwood chips, sand aJld iron oxide that
may contain small concentrations of sulfur.
cyanide compounds and trace metals.
To protect groundwater, the waste is typically
excavated and either disposed of in a lined
landfill or treated to destroy contaminants'.
Because most of the contaminants can be
destroyed through burning, the preferred method
for treating the waste is combustion. One way is
to bum the waste at the clean-up site using a
mobile combustion unit. Another option is to
mix the waste, which bas a heating value similar
to low-grade coal, with other fuel and bum it in a
utility boiler to destroy contuninants while
producing energy.
2
NOV-20-97 THU 12:09
In 1993, after extensive review and public input,
NSP conducted a test bum at the King Plant.
Fifteen thousand tons ofMGP waste was mixed.
with coal at a rate of 1 to 2 percent MOP waste,
and burned in the main power boiler at
temperatures ranging from 2400 to 3000 degrees
Fahrenheit. An independent environmental finn
measured boiler stack emissions of particulate
matter, sulfur dioxide, cyanide and trace metals,
both before and after MOP waste was added to
the coal, The results indicated no significant
increase: in emissions ofparticuIates, cyanide or
trace metals. Sulfur dioxide emissions increased
when burning MGP waste by approximately
eight percent. However, due to the use of low.
sulfur coal, sulfur dioxide emissions were still
well within permitted limits.
The draft pemrit would allow NSP to bum MOP
waste subject to the following limitations:
1. To ensure that MGP waste is not 1aken to the
King Plant when another disposal method
would be bener, NSP must not bum MOP
waste unless thermal treabnent and disposal
using a utility boiler is the alternative
approved by the 'Ml'CA for that particular
MOP clean-up site.
2. MGP waste must be managed in accordance
with a plan approved by the MPCA. The
plan specifies how NSP will ensure that the
material is non-hazardous, how it is
transported and stored on-site and how it
meets permit limits.
3. To ensure a high degree of contaminant
destruction when burning MOP waste, the
boiler must operate at SO percent of rated
capacity or higher. The oxygen lcvel in the
boiler exhaust gases must be 2.5 percent or
P.03
~
more and the feed rate of all wastes must not
exceed two percent of the total mass of fhel
burned.
.
4. Limits are set for concentrations of certain
pollutants in MGP waste.
The Next Step
The public is welcome to participate in the fmal
decision on the King Plant permit. The MPCA
has scheduled a. public information meeting fue:
Dec. 17, 1997, 7:30-9:30 p.JJL
Stillwater Junior High School (Room A-30i)
Written comments on the draft permit may be
submitted to the MPCA at any time as long as it
is before January 31, 1997.

In our current franchise the cable company is required to provide
a community access facility where residents get free training and
free use of video equipment to produce their own programs. This
facility also makes it possible to bring local programming to our
residents.
Many programs which deal with the people, places and organiza-
tions of your area are shown on cable television. This is called
local or community programming. The following is a list of the
local community access channels. For each one, please tell me

phone survey results. Some high school students were in attendance.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
MOTION by Jerry Turnquist to approve minutes of regular meeting and public hearing
of October 15,1997; seconded by Doug Bergmann. MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC COMMENT - None
OLD BUSINESS
1. County Board complaint followup - Steve Hanson said that John Lindell was in an
editing suite at the time and didn't get the modulator switched on time. Said that it
turned out the County Board hearing didn't get started on time so the entire public
hearing did go out live. Steve told John to be more diligent about being on time.
NEW BUSINESS
1. King Videocable - The company was sent 3 complaints: on Friday, November
14th and 2 on Monday, November 17th. Steve said that the 11/14 complaint had been
investigated by him and that he requested waiting until Roy returned from vacation to
11/19/97 Commission Meeting - Page 2
give us a full report. This complaint had to do with the Access Center not being open
for several hours, no programming shown during that time, and the staff being at the
high school at that time. As for the complaints of 11/17: concerning one of Joe
Goulet's programs where breasts and buttocks were shown but "graphically altered",
Steve Hanson said that he has instructed staff to run the show only in the evening. As
for the complaint by Mike Knutson where lavalier microphones were not available for a
studio shoot and that requested information was denied as to who checked them out,
Steve Hanson replied that he had spoken with John Lindell about it. Said that lavalier
microphones have been checked out for 10 years and that they are available to
anyone who requests them on a first come, first served basis. It was questioned as to
whether lavaliers could even be used for camcorders. The company feels that there
wasn't an issue, as there were microphones available for the studio shoot (a different
type) that day. As for refusal to give out requested information, John Lindell told Steve
that the request came at around 4 p.m. and that he was finishing up some things in
order to go home; that he didn't have time to look through files for the information and
that Mike should speak with Roy about it the next day.
There were questions about how many times a program is shown and the comment
was made that if the producer is a friend of the Access Center employees, that their
program gets shown a lot more than someone else's. Jerry Turnquist commented that
there should be a policy regarding the number of times a program is shown. There
was also discussion about what types of programming is appropriate for which
channel; it was felt that to put one of Joe Goulet's programs on Educational Channel 3
is inappropriate. Steve Hanson will check on these issues, and will also send a formal
letter of response to the complaint of 11/14.
Chairman Bodlovick asked Dave Magnuson about assessing penalties when there is
a clear violation of the franchise. Dave said that the violation would be that the Access
Center staff failed to make the studio and equipoment available for public use. Dave
will research the charging of penalties and appropriate amounts and make a
recommendation to the Commission at the next meeting.
2. Access Center Report - was received.
.
.
3. Valley Access Channels Report - an equipment list for the Access Center was
presented to the Corporation by the Cable Company and was reviewed. The list and
the Corporation's recommendations were submitted to the Commission. There were
questions about a JVC tuner and its use (Don said it was for background music) and
also the replacement of the studio monitor - where is the one they currently have and
is it repairable or does it need to be replaced? It was purchased only 5 years ago.
Steve Hanson is to check into this. The Corporation is in favor of the equipment list
except they are not in favor of the computer, and they are in favor of replacing the
monitor only if it is necessary. MOTION by Doug Bergmann to approve the equipment
list except for the Computer; seconded by Jerry Turnquist. MOTION CARRIED. The .
11/19/97 Commission Meeting - Page 3
.
Corporation also wants to purchase a new character generator for the studio control
room and the Company is to ask Roy is to get 3 bids for this.
The Corporation has requested that when the playback decks in the Access CE?nt~r"get
replaced, that the old ones be returned to the Corporation, who purchased them.
The Corporation reported that they will be having a planning meeting soon to discuss
the expenditure of grant monies and how to apply it to more community programming.
It was pointed out for the benefit of Oak Park Heights City Council that the City should
not expect to get government programming (above and beyond their normal Council
meeting) done free of charge by Valley Access Channels; that they are not the ones in
charge of doing government programming.
.
Karen spoke of an award and recognition she received from Supreme Court Judge
Sandy Keith, who really liked Karen's "Law in Action" programs, and he spoke of the
value of public access television. The Commission would like to have some of these
programs put on our channels. As for other community programming, Doug Bergmann
expressed an interest in seeing a program where the sheriff's office justifies their tax
increases. Jerry Turnquist suggested having a program where the Cities talk about
taxes and what they are doing to keep them in line. Karen indicated that if they would
give her names of people to contact that she could call them and make arrangements.
Karen made a request'that if any m~ii for Valley Access Char-mels 'co~es to the Access
Center by mistake that the staff have the courtesy to forward it on to Karen, as she
does for them. Steve Hanson is to let staff know. "
~~
4. Cable Commission Business
a. Approve Corporation Budget - MOTION by Doug Bergmann to approve the
Corporation's FY 98 Budget; seconded by Jerry Turnquist. MOTION CARRIED.
b. Approve Commission Budget - MOTION by Jerry Turnquist to approve the
Cable Commission's FY 98 Budget; seconded by Sharon Ridgway. MOTION
CARRIED.
.
c. Approve Transfer to Charter Communications/US West Split - Dave
Magnuson met with people from Charter Communications and discussed various
issues of concern. He felt that Charter is qualified to be a buyer of the system and he
recommended that the Commission approve the transfer. It is possible that the transfer
may not take place - US West now has split off their phone businesses and cable
businesses and would not now have to sell the local cable systems. They have
applied to the FCC for a special waiver and if they are successful, they would end up
having to pay Charter Communications $30 million as a termination fee to get out of
the purchase agreement. But because we don't know if the FCC will grant US West's
request, we were asked to proceed with the transfer approval and Dave Magnuson
11/19/97 Commission Meeting - Page 4
drew up a resolution for the approval. MOTION by Jerry Turnquist to approve .
Resolution 97-01 for approval of transfer to Charter Communications, seconded by
Sharon Ridgway. A roll call vote was requested: Bergmann, aye; Turnquist, aye;
Bodlovick, aye; Ridgway, aye. 4 ayes, no nays; MOTION CARRIED.
d. Late Fees Issue - Chairman Bodlovick asked Jim Commers to explain their late
fees and asked if the Company would consider reducing the amount being charged.
Jim said that when doing a study on costs of collecting bad debts, it was determined
that the Company's costs were about $8.75, so they don't feel that $5 is out of line. He
explained that costs to recover bad debts goes hand in hand with the size of
community you have and the number of debts you have. If there aren't many late
payments, the costs are higher than if it is spread over a larger base. As for the cable
attorney's research on this issue and do we want to do anything with it, the
Commission was not interested in pursuing the matter. May be discussed again
during renewal. Dave Magnuson pointed out that a class action suit regarding
recovery of overcharged late fees would have to be initiated by a subscriber.
e. Schedule Next Needs Assessment Workshop - our next workshop will be
Thursday, December 4th at 6:00 p.m. at Stillwater City Hall. Kathy will contact our City
Administrators and see if any of them would like to attend and address any comments
about franchise renewal with the Commission. Gail suggested that some sort of
questionnaire might be helpful so that people know what sort of info is wanted.
'.
.
f. Character Generated Information on Channel 12 - Kathy said that the
Lower Valley used to have messages on Ch. 12 but that they haven't had any on for a
while and due to fiber optics being down there now, they are unable to send signals
up here to put messages on. The cable company had a technician come by and he
was going to install a Ch. 12 character generator in the King office for the cable '
company to put Lower Valley messages on. Kathy felt that this was inappropriate.
Kathy is willing to put the information on as a courtesy for the Lower Valley; they do
support Valley Access Channels with programming funds. The Commission also feels
that it would be more appropriate for us to handle this than for the cable company and
have given Kathy the go-ahead to do this.
Karen introduced the Corporation's newest board member, Tammy Wold. MOTION by
Doug Bergmann to approve Tammy as a member of the Corporation board; seconded
by Jerry Turnquist. MOTION CARRIED.

MOTION to approve Resolution 97-11-19 approving payment of billslfunds transfer by
Jerry Turnquist; seconded by Sharon Ridgway. MOTION CARRIED.
