To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
This report was requested by the City to supplement our report entitled "Proposed Expansion
Study" dated September 29, 1995.
~ 002/019
The purpose of this supplement is to measure the property tax and certain other revenue likely to,
be generated by the development for funding incremental ongoing operating costs and other
outlays associated with the proposed annexation. .
Exhibits 1 to 6 present various cash flow analysis based on a variety of assumptions as described
in the Notes section. Our analysis of the various assumptions and the sourceofthe data used in-
developing the cash flow schedules is presented in the following section of this report
We are available to discuss this report with the City.

AssumDtions and Sources of Data
The attached cash flow schedules were developed under several sets of assumptions. Each set of
assumptions were developed to illustrate the impact of annexation on the cash flows of the City.
The actual impact will be dependent on:
1. The pace of development
2. The property tax policy and approved levy amounts as authorized by the City Council
3. Expenditure levels as approved by the current and future City Councils.
4. The impact of other revenue sources.
The attached cash flow schedules were prepared based on the following:
1. Tax capacity values. The tax capacity values were totaled for the proposed annexation
property. These values were ob~ned from Washington County and downloaded into
the FundW orksTM GeoBase software module. Each parcel has data fields for property
market value and the statutory calculations of tax capacity.
2. Tax Capaciti~ for properties in Minnesota are calculated using statutoty rates
for ea~h classification of property. An excerpt from statutes is as follows:
273.13 CLASSIFICATION OF :PROPERTY
Subdi'Vision 1. Bow classifIed. All real and personal property subject to a general
properly tax; and not subject to any gross earnings Of other lieu tax is hel'eby classified
fOt' pwposes of tmcation as provided by this section.
Subd. 21b. 'lax capacity. (a) Gross tax capacity means the product of the appropriate
gross class rates in this section and market values. (b) Net tax capacity means the
product of the appropriate net class rates in this section and market values.
Subd. 22. Class 1. (a) Except as provided in subdivision 23, real estate whieh is
residential and used for homestead purposes is class 1. The market value of class la
property must be determined based upon the value of the hOlLSC, garage, and land.
The :first $72,000 Of market value of class la property has a net elass rate of one
percent of its market value 311d a gross class rate of 2.17 percent of its market value.
For taxes payable in 1992, the market value of class la property that exceeds $72,000
but does not exceed $115,000 has a class rate of two percent ofits market value; and
the market value of class la property that exceeds $115,000 has a class rate of2.S
percent of its markct value. For taxes payable in 1993 and thereafter, the market value
of class 18 property that exceeds $72,000 has a class rate Of two percent.

3. Tax Capacity Rates. The preceding definition of tax capacity establishes a base line
for each property to measure the variance from statutory calculations. Tax capacity
rates are expressed as a percentage variance from 100. If all of the taxing
jurisdiction's property tax levies r~ult in an amount of property tax equil to the
statutory tax capacity, then the tax capacity rate is 100.000%. If the total property tax
burden of a property exceeds the statutory tax capacity, then the rate would exceed
100.000%. An illustration ofthis concept is as follows:
A residential property with a market value of
Would have a tax capacity as defined in statutes of:
1 % of the 18t $72,000 or
2% of amounts over $72,000 ($128,000) or
Tax capacity
Tax capacity rate
$200,000
720
2.560
$3,280
100.000
If the govemingjurisdiction's combined tax burden for this property exceeds $3,280
then the tax capacity rate will exceed 100.000%. For instance. iftms property has a
tax burden of$4,371.55, the tax capacity rate is 133.279%.

The tax capacity rates used in the attached exhibits are the proposed 1996 rates for
the City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township as follows:
City. Urban 35.162%
City - Rural 30.712%
Township'" 19,002%
"'Includes County library levy tax rate of2.307%
4. Incremental Ongoing Operating Expenditures. The proposed annexation area will
cause an increase in expenditures to the City. Expenditures v,.ill increase as follows:
a. Initially the City will service added properties which contain low density
development. The City has estimated that expenditures will increase by
$100,000 in the first year of alUlexation to extend services to the area (primarily
consisting of added public safety and public works service capacity levels).
b. As development occurs, ongoing operating expenditures will incrementally
increase as service demand increase. These expenditure levels will be funded by
an increased tax base and other revenues generated from added properties such e
as building pennits. Expenditure increases prompted by service demands as the
area develops will be subject to annual City Council consideration.

5. Township Payments refer to annual payments of a percent of the tax: revenue lost by
the township through the annexation process. The statute referencing these payments
is as follows:
414.0325 ORDERLY ANNEXATIONS WITHIN A D:ESIGNATED AlUl:A
Subd. 12. Property taxes. When a municipality annexes land under subdivision 2, clause (2),
(3), or (4), Ot subdivision 2a, property taxes payable on the annexed land shall continue to be
paid to the affected town or towns for the year in which the annexation becomes effective.
Thereafter, property taxes on the annexed land shall be paid to the municipality. In the first }'t'aI'
following the year the land was annexed, the municipality shall make a cash payment to the
affected town or towns in an amount equal to 90 percent of the property taxes paid in the year the
land was annexed; in the second year, an amount equal to 70 percent of the property taxes paid in
the year the land was annexed; in the third year, an amount equal to 50 percent of the property
taxes paid in the year the land was annexed; in the fourth year, an amount equal to 30 percent of
the property taxes paid in the year the land. was annexed; and in the fifth year, an amount equal
to ten pacent of the property taxes paid in the year the land was annexed. The municipality and
the affected township may agree to a di:frerent payment.
6. Rural Taxing District is an option available to cities to more closely ma.tch the
property tax burden with lower levels of services provided to rural portions of the
City. The statute governing this option to cities is as follows:
212.67 DIVISION OF LAND IN CITIES lNTO RURAL AND tJlWAN
DIS1'RICTS.
Subdivision 1. Any city however organized. except in those counties situated in a
metrOpOlitan area as defined in Minnesota Statutes 1961, Section 473.02. Subdivision 5,
which contain cities of the first class, may by ordinance adopted in the manner provided
in this section divide its area into an urban seIVice distriot and a rural service district,
constituting separate taxing districts for the purpose of all municipal property taxes
except those levied for the payment of bonds and judgments and interest thereon. In
proceedings for annexation, incorporation, or consolidation being conducted pursuant to
chapter 414, the Minnesota municipal board may by order divide a municipality into an
urban service district and a ruraI service district, such districts to be designated by the
board in accordance with the criteria set out in subdivision 2. Thereafter, said urban
service district and nual semce district may be changed in the same manner that an
ordinance or amendment is changed. in accordance with this section.
Subd. 2. The rural service district shall include only such unplatted lartds as in the
judgment of the governing body at the time of the adoption of the ordinance are rural in
character, and arc not developed for commercial, industrial, or uroan residential
purposes, and for these reasons are not benefited to the same degree 8$ other lands by
municipal services financed by general taxation. The rural service district may include
lands which are not contiguous to one another. The ordinance may designate lands
outside the city which, if annexed. shall be included within the IUral service district.
The urban service district shall include all lands within the boundaries of the city which
are not included in the ruml service district. The ordinance shall determine the
approximate ratio which in the judgment of the governing body exists between the
benefits resulting form tax supported municipal service to parcels of land of like market
value, situated in the IUral seIVice district and in the urban service district, respectively,

e
by amendment of the ordinance this benefit ratio may be changed, and lands may be
added to or removed from the rural service district; but no amendment shall be required
to remove lands by the procedure provided in subdivision 5.
The City of Stillwater has an existing rural taxing district. The City's policy is to
reduce the tax capacity rate in the rural area to 80% of the operating levy of the City
plus 100% of the debt levy. The proposed 1996 rates using this formula is as follows:
City urban 35.162%
City rural 30.712%
7. LQcal Govenunent Aid ~Gf\) and Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid (JIACA)
are state aids to cities designed to supplement operating revenue which generally
reduces the amount of property taxes. Based on current statutes~ the annexation may
result in increased LGA and RAtA for the City of Stillwater. An estimate of the
increase is calculated as follows:
LGA - The Minnesota Department of Revenue has estimated an increase in LGA
from $869~395 or $14,510 in the first year of annexation. This is based on an
estimated population increase of 800. Annual increase are based upon currenst
statutory fonnula which considers increase households.
HACA - The Mmnesota Department of Revenue has indicated the City would
receive additional HACA. This additional amount is approximately 20% of the
amount of HAC A of township currently receives.
8. Other Revenue. There will be a variety of other operating revenues which are
excluded from this analysis because of 1) uncertainty and 2) the overview nature of the
analysis which limits the report to major revenue sources. Several revenue sources
identified and not included in the cash flow schedules include;
Municipal State Aid (MSA) for road construction and maintenance. This aid is
subject to approval of qualified roads for MSA designation.
Building Pennit$ as the area develops permit revenue will available to fund direct
development costs and to supplement other operating revenue sources.
In addition to increased revenue sources~ the City will need to replace revenue from the
fire service contract (which provides service to the annexation area) with property tax
revenue

9. Service Efforts and Accomplishments (SEA). The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) establishes reporting standards for local governments. The nonprofit
nature of City government prompts alternative criteria to judge effectiveness in the
absencj~ of the profit nature of commercial enterprise. An exposure draft has been issued
which addresses measurement criteria for local government. Discussions regarding likely
funding levels from property taxes and' other sources must be anchored by
acceptable/preferred levels of services provided.
10. Pace of Development. The attached cash flow schedules have been prepared on the
following development:
Exhibit 1 - No added development; township tax capacity rate.
Exhibit 2 - No added development; city rural tax capacity rate.
Exhibit 3 - New residential homes over a 10 year period. Residential homes consisting
of33 large lot homes per year at a estimate market value (EMV) of
$297)000 and 28 small lot homes per year at a EMV of $153,000; property
taxes based on township rate for undeveloped property.
Exhibit 4 ~ Same as Exhibit 3, except using the city rural tax: capacity rate for
undeveloped property
Exhibit 5 - New residential homes over a 10 year period. Residential homes consisting
of33 large lot homes per year at a EMV of$225,OOO and 28 small lot
homes at aEMV ofS140,000; property taxes based on township rate for
undeveloped property.
Exhibit 6 ~ Same as Exhibit 5, except using the City rural tax capacity rate for
undeveloped property.
The Exhibit 3 through 6 development assumes development of South Trunk B only.
Development of other sections of the annexation area would have a favorable impact
on the anticipated property taxes from the annexation area.

Casb Flow Present:,tion
The attached cash flow schedules have been prepared with two expressed results;
1. For initial periods in which anticipated revenue is less than base incremental operating
expenditures and payments to the :Township, the result is expressed as a "deficit."
2. For periods in which anticipated revenue exceeds base incremental operating
expenditures, the result is expressed as "Amount Available fOf Appropriation."
The preceding approach was adopted because of the budget process adopted by the City of
Stillwater (and most other Minnesota cities). The budget process commonly has two competing
forces which are subject to an iteration process as follows:
Seme:c level demands estimated
by department heads and
resulting eoxpenditufes proposed
to City council.
~
AdministIation and department
heads are ditl"..cted to review
necessaxy expenditure levels and
to seek alternate funding sources
such as grants and direct user
charges.

Administmtion and City
Council review reasonableness
of requests and pcrfonn
analytical processes related to
Service Efforts and
Accomplishments.
City Council soa1 to minimize
tax capacity rate.
Estimated property tax amount
is used to estimate a tax
capacity rate.
The above process will annually detennine the level of expenditures. This process is currently
employed at the City of Stillwater and at Stillwater Township. The approach to estimate the
((Amount Available for Appropriation" serves to recognize the existing local government budget
process. Initial period of annexation is an exception to this approach because the City of
Stillwater will likely incur a deficit because initial incremented operating expenditures plus
payments to the Township will exceed estimated revenue prior to new home development.

Summary and Conclusion
Based on the assumptions described herein, the City will incur an initial deficit related to the
proposed annexation. Under all sets of assumptions, however, the annexation will generate
adequate revenue to support base incremental operating expenditures after the TowilShip
payments are completed. '

We have compiled the accompanying projections of cash flow and the summary of significant
projection assumptions of the proposed annexation area of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota for the
period of 11 years in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants.
The accompanying projection and this report were' prepared for the City staff and City council of the
City of Stillwater for the purpose of measuring the property tax and certain other revenue to be
generated by the proposed annexation area and should not be used for any other purposes.
A compilation of finanoial projections is limited to presenting in the form of projected financial
sohedules assumptions and estimates that are the representation of management. We have not
examined the accom~nying projections of cash flow and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or
any other form of assuqance on them. Furthermore, we express no opinion on the proje'ctions or how
closely they will correspond with the actual resul1s. We have no responsibility to update this report tor
events and circumstantes occurring after the date of this report.

CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PROJE:CTION ASSUMPTIONS
The financial projections are based on various levels of development if such interest and collection
rates occur. Accordingly, the projections reflect the City's judgment as of December 31, 1995, the date of
this projection. The presentation is designed to provide the City information to measure the property tax
and certain other revenue generated by development of the annexation area.
In order to compile the following exhibits, various assumptions of future events must be determined. A
summary of such significant management assumptit!ns used in the compilation of the exhibits is as follows:
.,/ Tax caoacity values. The tax capacity values were totaled for the proposed annexation property.
These values were obtained from Washington County and downloaded into the FundWorks™
GeoBase software module. Each parcel has data fields for property market value and the statutory
calculations of tax capacity.
./ Tax Capacities for properties in Minnesota are calculated using statutory rates for each
Classification of property.
.,/ Incremental Onaoinq Ocerating Exoenditures. The proposed annexation area will cause an
increase in expenditures to the City. Initially the City will service added properties which contain low
density development. The City has estimated that expenditures will increase by $100,000 in the
first year of annexation to extend services to the area (primarily consisting of added public safety
and public works service capacity levels) and increased by 3% annually.
,/ TownshiD Payments refer to annual payments of a percent of the tax revenue lost by the township
through the annexation process. These payments are based on MS 414.0325, Subd. 12.
,/ Local Government Aid lLGA} and Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid lHACA} are state aids to
cities designed to supplement operating revenue which generally reduces the amount of property
taxes. Based on current statutes, the annexation may result in increased LGA and HACA for the
City of Stillwater. The Minnesota Department of Revenue has estimated an increase in LGA from
$869,395 or $14,510 in the first year of annexation. This is based on an estimated population
increase of 800. Annual increase are based upon currenst statutory formula which considers
increase households. The Minnesota Department of Revenue has indicated the City would receive
additional HACA. This additional amount is approximately 20% of the amount of HACA of township
currently receives.
./ Pace of Develooment. The attached cash flow schedules have been prepared on the following
development:
e
Exhibit 1 - No added development; township tax capacity rate.
Exhibit 2 - No added development; city rural tax capacity rate.
Exhibit 3 - New residential homes over a 10 year period. Residential homes consisting of 33
large lot homes per year at a estimate market value (EMV) of $297,000 and 28
small lot homes per year at a EMV of $153,000; property taxes based on township
rate for undeveloped property.
Exhibit 4 - Same as Exhibit 3, except using the city rural tax capacity rate for undeveloped
property
Exhibit 5 - New residential homes over a 10 year period. Residential homes consisting of 33
large lot homes per year at a EMV of $225,000 and 26 small lot homes at a EMV of
$140,000; property taxes based on townshIp rate for undeveloped property.
Exhibit 15 - Same as Exhibit 5, except using the City rural tax capacity rate for undeveloped
property.
The Exhibit 3 through 6 development assumes development of South Trunk B only. Development
of other seclions of the annexation area would have a favorable impact on the anticipated property
taxes from the annexation area.

Clarification of Key Stillwater Comprehensive Plan Elements
e
In response to the City Council Comprehensive Plan public hearing, December 12, there have
been many articles and letters to the editor in area newspapers that contain inaccurate
information (examples enclosed). This report addresses some of the misinformation and
describes key plan elements
Population Growth - The plan, if implemented, could result in the City of Stillwater growing
from a population of 15,500 (April 1994) to a population of 20,300 or a 30 percent increase
over the next 25 years. Of the 4,800 population increase, 1,400 or over 35 percent of the
growth would take place in the existing city. The remaining 65 percent would result from
growth in the township planned growth area.
To give perspective to the planned growth, over the past 25 years, since 1970, Stillwater has
grown from 10,196 to 15,500 representing a 50 percent increase. The planned growth is
substantially less then the growth experienced by the city over the last 25 years. If the
township area remains in the township and develops at township zoning densities, 300 to 400
housing units and 800 to 1,000 people can be expected to live in the area.
Existing Comprehensive Plan - The City of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan adopted by the
City in 1979/1980 describes the area west of the city bounded by TH 96, CR 15 and TH 36 as
an urban transition area slated for future city annexation and development. Utilities were
planned and sized to accommodate city expansion into the area. The idea of city growth in
the township area is not new. It has been proposed for over 15 years.
e
Impact of Comprehensive Plan on City Taxpayer - Two extensive fiscal impact studies
were conducted by the city as a part of the plan development process. The reports concluded,
based on Comprehensive Plan development, the revenues generated by the development will
more than pay the costs of operating city services in the area. It is the policy of the city that
new development pay for new infrastructure (roads and utilities) improvements costs.
This means city residents will not pay for new development, capital facilities or operating costs.
New development will support itself. Based on plan buildout, the fiscal studies estimated
annual revenues to be $1 to $3 million in excess of city costs.
Need for New Schools - Growth that results from city expansion will require additional
educational facilities. This is the case for any development in the school district (most of
Washington County). The argument can be made that if growth does not occur in the City of
Stillwater it will occur in other parts of the school district requiring school facilities in a different
location. School services are provided on a school district basis not by the city.
Environmental Concerns - The Comprehensive Plan, natural resource and open space
section contains policies to preserve and protect ravines, wetlands, sloped areas, shorelands,
woodlands, Brown's Creek, Long Lake and South Twin Lake. The regulations require
protection of natural resources through setbacks and buffering. No environmental impact
statement is required because the plan is not a project although the plan does consider and
address the general environmental effects of plan implementation.
e
Parks and Open Space - Plan policies require the dedication of land from new development
w ..
to accommodate neighborhood and community park needs generated by the development.
Besides the park dedication requirements, the Stillwater Area Open Space Committee has
inventoried open space sites and are testing public support to increase taxes for acquisition of e
significant open space lands. An extensive neighborhood and community-wide trail system is
proposed in the plan.
Sewer and Water Services - Sewer and water service capacity to accommodate planned
growth has been constructed or is contemplated in utility plans. The utility service capacity is
available to accommodate planned for growth.
Existing City Streets, Sidewalks, Parks and Other Facilities - Over the last four years, the
city has made substantial improvements to its existing public facilities. Examples are the
street and sidewalk improvement programs and downtown revitalization. These programs will
continue with the adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan. In fact, the new plan places more
emphasis on rehabilitation and preserving the existing housing stock as well as neighborhood
parks and public facilities.
Economic Development - This plan provides for economic development and growth of the
local economy by designating lands for commercial and industrial development. The plan
provides for new job growth as well as housing growth to maintain Stillwater as a "freestanding
growth center", a designation given the Stillwater area by the Metropolitan Council.
Housing - The plan provides for a range of housing types and tenures, single family large lot
and small lot, townhouse and multifamily (in the existing city). The plans housing element
affirmatively addresses the regional requirements for life-cycle housing.
e
Plan Preparation Process - The plan update process began in August of 1993. During the
past two years, the Planning Commission held monthly meetings on the plan revision. Plan
issues were identified, goals and objectives developed, eight alternative land use plans
studied and finally a plan selected as the Comprehensive Plan.
Stillwater Township Viability - Based on the Comprehensive Plan, 1,900 acres of township
land will be annexed by the City of Stillwater. The township currently contains 11,647 acres.
City expansion will reduce the township land area by 16 percent. In comparison, Baytown
Township contains 6,169 acres and West Lakeland Township 7,972 acres. Both Baytown and
West Lakeland townships are much smaller than Stillwater Township yet have a tax rate 50
percent lower than Stillwater Township's existing tax rate. Size of township does not appear to
effect township viability or tax rate.

Dear Klayton:
I received your letter dated October 23, 1995, concerning the above-referenced
intersection. We appreciate the City's concern for safety along our County road system.
e
I have directed staff to complete a traffic study for this intersection. The study will
include a review of the options you listed in your letter. We will discuss our findings and
recommendations with you prior to submitting a report to you. We will need some time to
gather historical information, complete traffic counts, and analyze the data. We plan to
have a final report completed by March 1, 1996.
Please feel free to contact me or Don Theisen, Deputy Director, if you have any questions
or further ideas about this intersection.
We look forward to working with you on this issue.
Sincerely,

Mr. Klayton Eckles

Intersection of County Road 5 and Orleans Street/Wildpines Lane
Dear Mr. Eckles:
We received your letter dated October 23rd regarding the County Road 5/
Orleans/Wildpines intersection and have evaluated the intersection's operation.
The depression along the west curb line of County Road 5 at Wildpines is a result of the
short transition length from old to new construction on Wildpines. To correct the problem
would essentially require redoing the entire west side of the intersection and extending
new construction along Wildpines for some distance to the west. This was not the intent
of the original project due to high cost to the city and relatively small benefit. At this
time, we do not recommend changing the elevation of Wild pines and modifying the
intersecti on.
e
Regarding the signal timing, there is no protected left turn phase for traffic on Wild pines or
Orleans, nor are there arrows on the signal heads. East or west bound motorists are
shown a green ball only. Right turns onto County road 5 are allowed on red. Because this
is a traffic actuated signal, the Orleans/Wildpines green phase may be skipped if no traffic
is detected in the through or left turn lanes. When vehicles are detected, the minimum
green time for the east-west phase is 10 seconds 'and the maximum extension is 50
seconds. During exceptionally heavy traffic the signals along County Road 5 will
automatically go into coordinated phasing which may reduce the extended green time on
cross streets. While we don't continuously monitor these intersections, our periodic
monitoring shows that this is very rare, occurring less than once a week and not for
extended periods.
I appreciate the time and attention you have given this letter. Please contact me if you
have further questions or comments.
Sincerely,
~~~

RE:
Lumberman Hotel Project - Release of Forfeiture Provision
The Redevelopment Deed given by the City to the developers for the Lumber Baron's Hotel
contains what is known as a forfeiture provision requiring that if the redeveloper fails to begin
construction of the minimum improvements before April 26, 1995, and if the developer had not cured
the default by beginning construction within ninety (90) days after written notice, a forfeiture would occur
and the City would again be vested with Title to the property upon payment to the redeveloper of the
amount the redeveloper had paid the City for the property. Schedule D to the Development Agreement
provides for the release of this forfeiture provision and now that the developers are converting their
construction financing to permanent financing, the lender has asked that the City execute the release.
I enclose a copy of Schedule D of the Development Contract and also a copy of sections 9.3 and
9.3.1 of the Redevelopment Contract. In my view, the developers have satisfied sections 9.3 and 9.3.1
and are entitled, as a matter of law, to have Schedule D executed by the City. It is my recommendation
that the Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute this Certificate on the behalf of the City and
to forward it to the redeveloper and their lender.

Dear Ladies/Gentlemen:
I have received calls at my office demanding that the City do an Environmental Impact Statement
before they approve the Comprehensive Plan or decide upon an annexation alternative.
To determine the readiness for environmental review, we look to the Minnesota Administrative
Rules that provide a time table for doing either an Environmental Assessment Worksheet or an
Environmental Impact Statement. This work is done before final approval of a project and a project is
defined by the Rules as "governmental action which would cause physical manipulation of the
environment directly or indirectly. The determination of whether a project requires this environmental
review shall be made by reference to the physical activity to be undertaken and not to the governmental
process of approving the project. "
The Comprehensive Plan decision and a decision about annexation is a governmental process and
will not directly or indirectly cause physical manipulation of the environment. This manipulation will
no doubt take place after a plat has been approved and, therefore, the proper time to require either an
Environmental Assessment Worksheet or an Environmental Impact Statement would be when the platting
process is under review and before any improvement project or other work on the ground would take
place.
We, on the Staff, are very aware of the threshold requirements for environmental review and we
will advise the Council well in advance of either an Environmental Worksheet or an Impact Statement
being required.
Respectfully submitted,
Ie

Gentlemen:
e
I am on the agenda for your December 5, 1995 meeting. The subject will
be the future of Lily Lake. I have lived on the lake for 35 years and
have watched it go from being a clear, spring-fed lake to what might
now be called a dirty storm sewerage holding pond. The biggest loss is
not to the few property owners on the lake, but to the citizens of
Stillwater at large. Property owners still have a nice view and the
privacy that a body of water allows. The enjoyment of the use of the
water by the public, however, is about gone. This lake was once an
almost priceless resource, and with a large amount of city property on
it, available to everyone. Your and my grandchildren should have every
right to expect that our stewardship would allow this lake to provide
enjoyment for them.
I would hate to think that I sat by and sawall this happen without
even making an effort to correct it. I think that those of us who
know what this lake was, and maybe could be again, should try to do
something about it, and I would like to be of help in such an effort.
I am enclose a copy of a study done on the lake a few years ago. It
documents the storm water pollution and recommends such techniques as
the use of stormwater treatment areas, but does not say where or how
that should be done.
Other ideas that have been advanced:
Diverting the very dirty water that comes in the first part
of rainfalls.
Using bladders to filter the first part of rainfalls.
Sending some of the enormous volume of storm sewer water that
now comes into the lake toward a different drainage area.
Using extensive aeration to reverse the oxygen depletion
caused by the pollution.
There are probably a number of other things that people experienced in
this sort of thing would know about. What I think the City should do
now is engage someone to sort out all the ideas and tell us specifically
what could and should be done.
Sincerely,
~ ;Z-J..~

e
I attach as page 2 a little of what I have learned about the history
of the lake's problems.

Some history
November 28, 1995
Bill FierkejCity Council
When the water quality of the lake was at its best, the only supply of
water came from underground springs and what little run-off there was ~
from the immediate surrounding area. The only trouble was that the ~
water would get quite low at times. During the drought of the 1930's
I understand that a person could walk across the lake on a sand bar.
The property on the west side wasn't really "lakeshore," being
separated from open water by several hundred feet of swamp and muck.
At first, in the 1960's, it was seen as a boon to the lake when a
larger drainage area was created and storm sewers were run into the
lake. The water level went higher and the water quality didn't change
much. However, as more and more storm sewers were put into the lake,
the water became dirtier and dirtier. A crowning blow to Lily Lake
took place a few years ago when the drainage was redone and the storm
sewer water out to highway 36 was sent to Lily Lake, a good deal of it
being run into the brickyard pond and on to the lake.
A friend who has lived here nearly 80 years tells me that Lily Lake at
one time flowed into the brickyard pond which in turn drained into the
river. That means that someone reversed the flow. I'm not a lawyer
but I think that's illegal. I'm afraid that in the past there was not
much concern given for Lily Lake when drainage areas were designed. It
seemed much cheaper to just run storm water into the closest low area
(Lily Lake) rather than pipe it somewhere where it wouldn't do anybody
any harm. What might have seemed cheap may turn out to be the most
costly thing that could have been done.
I am hopeful that something can be done for Lily Lake and here's why:
People in anti-pollution work explain that 80% to 90% of the bad stuff 4It
in storm water comes in the first 10 minutes of a rain. This seems
evident in Lily lake. When light rains occur with intervals of a week
or so, the lake gets its dirtiest. The lake gets repeated doses of the
first 10 minutes. However, when long single rains occur, Lily lake
actually improves. I would think that this means Lily Lake is still
capable of recovering if the pollution is stopped.

1993 WATER QUALITY SUMMARY OF LILLY LAKE
e
A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Stillwater began routine sampling of Lilly Lake
in 1993. The purpose of this monitoring is to assess the
current trophic status of the lake and to possibly continue
a long term monitoring program which will enable the City to
identify water quality trends associated with land use in
Lilly Lake's watershed. Many citizens who live on and
around Lilly Lake have expressed concern with the condition
of the lake, citing excessive weed growth and reduced water
clarity. The lake was sample'd during the months of June,
July, and August. The field work was performed by the
Washington Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) for
the City. This ,report focuses ori the assessment of the lake
water quality data collected by the Washington SWCD.
The principal focus of this effort is to begin to identify
recent water quality patterns of the lake and to help define
reasonable water quality expectations. It is also important
to define what can degrade lake water quality and what the
City can do to protect this lake's resources.
The degradation of lakes can be caused by many things, but
inmost cases, it is caused by the excessive export of
nutrients and sediment from the lakes watershed. This
process of nutrient and sediment enrichment of waterbodies
is called eutrophication. In an undisturbed watershed,
Ie
1
eutrophication is a slow process that occurs over a period
of many hundreds or thousands of years, during which time
nutrients and sediments generated by the lake's watershed
accumulate and "gradually fill in the lake.
The rate of eutrophication is frequently accelerated if
abundant nutrient and sediment sources are located in a
1 ake' s watershed. When these nutri ent sources owe thei r
origins to man's activities, a new term, cultural
eutrophication or enrichment, is used to describe the
potentially rapid degradation that may take place. Human
activities such as wastewater disposal, inadequate septic
systems, construction activities, lawn fertilization, and
improper agricultural practices can accelerate the
eutrophication process.
Eutrophic lakes can be characterized by a variety of water
quality conditions, dependent upon their supply of
nutrients. In many instances, eutrophic lakes may support
excellent warm water fisheries. However, in advanced
stages, the effects of lake eutrophication may cause serious
resource degradation. These lakes may have algal blooms of
such severi ty as to turn the water to "pea-soup" over the
summer; reduce the potential for support of sport fisheries;
and reduce riparian property values. Recreational
activities in these lakes can also be severely reduced
because of the aesthetically unpleasant conditions and foul
odor associated with the algal blooms. In general, very
2
e
e
e
e
eutrophic (hypereutrophic) lakes have a variety of nuisance
conditions that detract from the resource's value.
To prevent these types of severe nuisance conditions, it is
important to prevent the excessive import of nutrients and
sediments to the lakes. It is also important to have
sufficient monitoring activities to be able to detect lake
water quality degradation, so that corrective actions can be
undertaken.
e
B. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Water quality data was collected on three occasions during
the summer of 1993 by the Washington Soil and Water
Conservation District. Integrated surface samples were
collected with a column sampler. Samples were analyzed by
Interpol 1 Laboratory for total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a,
nitrate and nitrite nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and
pH. Water clarity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen (DO)
content were measured in the field at the time of sampling.
A complete listing of the data is contained in Tables 1 and
2. Measurements obtai ned over the summer are averaged to
assess lake dynamics and for comparison to similar lakes in
this region. Typical ranges of values for lakes in this
ecoregion are also shown at the bottom of Table 1.
e
1. TRANSPARENCY
The measurement of depth of light penetration using a Secchi
disk gives a simple index of water transparency, or clarity.
3
--
It is also a measure of turbidity in the water, as well as
an indication of the trophic state of the lake. A reduction
in water transparency is usually the result of turbidity
composed of suspended sediments, organic matter and
phytoplankton.
The average water transparency in Lilly Lake, as measured by
Secchi disk during the study period, was 7.3 ft. (Table 1).
This value is within the typical range for lakes in this
ecoregion. Typical ranges are shown at the bottom of Table
1. The August reading of 3.0 feet was the only relatively
poor reading during the summe~ of 1993.
e
2. PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is a major nutrient involved in eutrophication
and is generally associated with the growth of aquatic weeds
and algae blooms. Common sources of phosphorus include
runoff from urban areas, lakeshore lawns, and improperly
operating sewage disposal systems.
All three samples had relatively low total phosphorus
(Total-P) concentrations, with no values exceeding the range
of values expected for lakes in this ecoregion. (See Table
1 ) .
3. CHLOROPHYLL-A
Chlorophyll~A is a photosynthetic component found in algae
and aquatic plants. It is also an indication of algal
productivity. Chlor-A readings were very low in Lilly Lake,
--
4
e
with the exception of the 08/25/93 value (Table 1).
so, the average figure of 23 ug/l is still very
within the typical range for lakes in this area.
Even
nearly
e
4. NITROGEN
Several forms of nitrogen are responsible for health
problems and increase the rate of lake eutrophication.
Total nitrogen (TN) concentrations, which consist of total
Kjeldahl nitrogen (TOT KJN) plus nitrate-nitrite nitrogen
(N-N02+N03), averaged .88 mg/l in Lilly Lake. This is on
the low end of the range of values for lakes in our
ecoregion.
5. pH
The pH is an important factor of fresh water systems. It is
a measure of alkalinity or acidity. Many biological and
chemical processes are affected by pH levels. Waters
supporting healthy aquatic life should be within a pH range
of 6.5 to 9.0. Lilly Lake was within this range during the
monitoring period.
e
6. Dissolved Oxygen
Di sso 1 ved oxygen (DO) and temperature were measured at the
time of samp 1 i ng on a 11 th ree samp 1 i ng dates. DO and
temperature values, at each meter of depth, are shown in
Table 2. These values show temperature and DO decreasing
5
e
with depth. This is typical in all lakes, which are deep
enough, once their surface waters start to warm. As warming
occurs, lakes become stratified, forming three distinct
layers. Lakes stratify because the density of water changes
as its temperature changes.
The upper layer, or epilimnion, is characterized by warmer
(lighter or less dense) water. The epilimnion is roughly
equivalent to the zone of light penetration, where the bulk
of productivity or growth occurs. Below the epi 1 imnion is
the thermocl ine, the zone where temperatures decl ine
rapidly. The bottom layer is 'called the hYPolimnion. This
is where the water is the coldest (heavy or more dense) and
DO levels are their lowest. This is the zone of
decomposition, where plant materials either decay or sink to
the bottom of the lake and accumulate.
The presence or absence of oxygen (DO) in these zones, or
layers, determines where aquatic organisms such as fish and
zooplankton are found. In the spring, when lakes are
usually not stratified, oxygen is usually present at all
depths. Thus fish and zooplankton may be spread out
throughout all lake depths. During the summer months, when
lakes become stratified, little or no oxygen is produced in
the hypol imnion (bottom layer). As oxygen is consumed in
this zone, due to decomposition of organic matter, levels
typically become too low for fish and zooplankton, forcing
them to occupy the upper layers where an adequate supply of
e
e
6
e
oxygen is present.
A minimum amount of dissolved oxygen required to maintain
game fish populations is generally accepted to be between 4
and 5 mg/l.
Typical dissolved oxygen content for lakes in
this ecoregion range from 8 to 12 mg/l.
C. TROPHIC STATE
Many water quality scientists classify lakes according to
their trophic state.
Average summer values of total
phosphorus, Chlorophyll-A, and transparency (measured with
the Secchi disk) are most often used to determine a lake's
trophic state.
The Carlson Trophic State Index (TSI,
e
Carlson, 1977), as shown in Figure 1, illustrates the
relationship between trophic status and water quality data.
Very unproductive or oligotrophic lakes, such as lakes in
the northeast part of Minnesota, have low phosphorus
concentrations, low chlorophyll-A concentrations, and high
Secchi disk transparencies.
On the other end of the
spectrum, very productive or hypereutrophic lakes have high
phosphorus concentrations, high ch1orophy11-A concentra-
tions, and low Secchi disk transparencies.
Average values from Lilly Lake are plotted on the Trophic
State Index (TSI) Chart to determine its trophic state,
(Figure 1). Chlorophy11-A and total phosphorus are shown in
i e
I
PPB (parts per bi 11 ion) on this chart, the conversion is
7
e
1 ppb=1 ug/1=.001 mg/1. Transparency is shown in meters,
the conversion is 1 meter=3.28 feet. By extending a line
straight up to the trophic state index scale from the total
phosphorus, c10rophy11-A, and transparency values, your
lakes trophic state can be determined.
Lilly Lake's values on the trophic state index scale, for
tota 1 phosphorus and transparency, are qui te good compared
to many lakes in our region. The ch10rophyll-A value is a
bit higher, putting it well into the eutrophic range.
Of all the parameters measured last summer, the chlorophy1l-
A reading for the 08/25/93samp 1 i ng showed the greatest
increase from the prior months reading. I believe that this e
is directly attributable to the rather warm and sunny period
that we were experiencing at this time. The day we sampled,
was about the warmest day of the enti re summer! The
nitrogen and phosphorus levels did not show such a dramatic
increase from the previous month's levels. The DO readings
were depleted below a depth of two meters on 08/25/93 and
this can be attributed to the increased algal productivity
(high chlorophyll-A) at this time. Decomposition of dead
algae tends to deplete oxygen levels in the water column.
D. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Monitoring should be continued if possible, for a minimum of
three consecutive years. This will better enable the City
to detect any water quality trends associated with land use
activities in Lilly Lake's watershed. For this purpose,
e
8
e
e
there should be a minimum of ten Secchi measurements over
the summer time period (about mid-June through mid
September) per year on Lilly Lake. In a similar fashion,
there should be minimum of three integrated surface water
measurements and an optimum of ten measurements of the lake
for phosphorus, nitrogen, and chlorophyll-A. There should
also be at least three summer measurements of PH,
temperature, and dissolved oxygen.
Based on the comments that I have received from various
sources concerning the health of the lake, the water quality
of Li lly Lake, from monitoring' results obtained for 1993, is
not as degraded as I would have expected it to be.
However, three samp 1 i ngs, coupled wi th the extreme 1 y cool,
wet summer that we experienced in 1993, makes it very
difficult to make any real accurate assessments about the
condition of Lilly Lake. In this situation, it would be
advisable to collect more data, and hopefully the summer
weather this year will be closer to normal.
With the exception of the 08/25/93 sampling, the water
clarity and nutrient levels in Lilly Lake were very good. I
fee 1 that the drop-off in qual i ty in August was di rect 1 y
related to our heavy summer rains, and the warm, short sunny
period that caused the heavy algal bloom.
Best management practices should be employed in Lilly Lake's
watershed area to help slow the eutrophication process.

e
These would include such techniques as the use of stormwater
treatment areas, where possible, construction site erosion
control, fertilizer management programs, and timely street
cleaning.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer ;{}:\..-/
DATE: December 1, 1995
SUBJECT: Purchase of new gas monitoring device
DISCUSSION
Attached is a quotation from Viking Safety Products for the purchase of a new gas monitor to be
used by the sewer department. The existing monitor is obsolete and needs to be replaced
immediately. Viking Safety Products has supplied the Public Works and Streets Department
with much of its safety equipment and will provide training for all personnel for the use of this
new testing device. The total price of this unit, including a trade-in allowance and tax would be
$1,880.00. This item can be charged to our lift station repair fund.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend council authorize staff to purchase a new gas monitor from Viking Safety Products
for $1,880.00.

MEMO
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer I( C
DATE: December 1, 1995
SUBJECT: Repairs to Nelson Street Lift Station
DISCUSSION
The Nelson Street Lift Station pumps the majority of the sewage flows from the City of
Stillwater out of the downtown area. There are three pump units in this lift station, one of which
needs immediate attention. Staffhas obtained two quotes. Northwestern Power Equipment
Company has indicated they will supply a new pump installed for approximately $8,500. Braun
Pump and Controls has given us a quote of$5,212.41 for a complete overhaul of the existing
pump. Most companies in the business of pumps prefer to simply replace old pumps, typcially
the cost savings between over hauling and complete pump replacement is not significant,
however, in this case it is approximately 50% more for a new pump, therefore, I recommend we
consider this option. The annual budget for lift station repairs was budgeted at $60,000 and
approximately $15,000 remains in this fund.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council authorize staff to contract with Braun Pump and Controls for the
repair of the Nelson Street Lift Station for an amount not to exceed $5212.41.

Subject: Nelson Street Lift Station
Thank you for the opportunity to review your pumping needs.
These pumps have obviously served you well over the last several
decades. You will need to decide whether to repair or replace.
Fortunately, the present Fairbanks models have identical volute
dimensions so a drop in is possible with no major piping changes
necessary.
~ The new pumps would have the latest bearing design designed for
100,000 hour B10 life. The impeller adjustment has also been
simplified from the cumbersome shins to jacking bolts. This is a
major concern when pumping gritty and sandy wastewater. I have
also added an option for stainless steel wear rings.
Your price for basic pump, less base, elbow, and motor is
$6,865.00. Add $818.00 for the stainless steel wear rings and
$255.00 for freight. This price does not include any sales
and/or use taxes.
The present pump is probably not operating at original capacity
and should be thoroughly inspected before making a decision. We
have observed that the lower bearing is turning in the bearing
housing so it would require a major overhaul.
The old impeller can be measured by opening in suction elbow, as
we discussed. Let me know what you decide.
Yours very truly,

RE: ORDINANCE REGULATING DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS
Last May, the City Council approved a revised Kennel License Ordinance (attached).
That ordinance required a kennel license and special use permit for kennels (more than
three dogs or cats) in residential districts.
It was felt by dog owners , the general public and the council that this review process
may be excessive. The revised ordinance is simpler, it limits the number of dogs in
residential districts to three dogs (nonconforming situations may continue until the dogs
die). Dog kennels, more than three dogs, require a special use permit and are allowed
only in commercial districts.
e
The planning commission held a public hearing on the revised ordinance. Existing dog
owners were notified of the meeting. No one commented adversity to the proposed
ordinance. The planning commission recommends the revised ordinance for council
approval.
Recommendation: Approval for second reading
Attachments: Existing and new kennel ordinance regulating dogs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council //
FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director P//
DA: November 30,1995
RE: VACATION OF NELSON ALLEY
A street vacation request for Nelson Alley has been received from Dick Anderson. This
concept is included in the downtown plan. The intent of closing Nelson Alley was to
provide a safer more clearly defined pedestrian connection between a new parking lot
(USC) and Main Street.
The request has been reviewed by city departments. The fire department needs
emergency access to the street to fight fires. If the street was vacated, utility
easements would need to be maintained for utility lines.
The Planning Commission heard the street vacation request at their meeting of
November 13, 1995. At that meeting, several downtown property owners (see attached
lists) attended the meeting and expressed opposition to a complete street closure but
generally supported creating a better pedestrian connection to the new parking lot and
Main Street. This may entail a partial closing, sidewalk widening and possible one-way
street. The Planning Commission, after reviewing the request and hearing public
testimony, passed a motion recommending denial of the street vacation request. The
Commission felt that a study should be conduced to coordinate USC parking lot
improvement with Nelson Alley pedestrian improvements.
Recommendation: Deny vacation request but direct the Community Development and
Public Works staff to study methods of providing better pedestrian access from the new
USC parking lot to Main Street when plans for the parking lot are proposed.
Attached: Street vacation application.

RE: VACATION OF NELSON STREET
A street vacation request for Nelson Alley from Main Street to Second Street. The Downtown
Plan shows the concept of closing Nelson Street to provide access to a new parking lot. The
parking lot will not be where it is shown but rather on the UBC storage yard site on the west side
of Second Street.
The request for street vacation has been reviewed by the Fire Department. They feel the street
must remain open for fire truck access. Emergency vehicle access would have to be
accommodated by any closing of the street. Access to the Grand Garage parking lot would also
have to be accommodated.
Notice of the closing has been sent to adjacent property ownersfor comment.
Recommendation:
e
Review of request with recommendation to City Council.

RE:
Nelson Alley Street Vacation
Enclosed is a survey that shows the encroachment of Dick Anderson's building and the adjoining
building owned by Dudas upon the right-of-way of Nelson Alley. In the past, the City has recognized
the need to vacate small slivers of public property in order to accommodate a private interest and in this
case it would seem appropriate if the City is not going to vacate the entire Nelson Alley then at least they
vacate a small sliver.

Re: Public Hearing on vacation of Nelson
Alley
A request of postponement of public hearing of vacation of
Nelson Alley because adjacent property owners did not receive
notificationof public hearing on December 5, 1995.
Due to lack of notice, the above signed property owners are
unable to attend and voice their concerns to the Mayor and
City council. Also, after reviewing the November 30, 1995
memorandum to the Mayor and City Council from Steve Russell,
we do not feel this adequately voices our position on this matter
and feel it is important to understand our position before any
recommendation is made concerning this matter.

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMO
TO:
Mayor and Council
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer t tv'
DATE:
December 1, 1995
SUBJECT:
Conversion of Private Street to Public Street in the Greens and Garden
Town Homes
DISCUSSION
At the October 17th council meeting, the City Council directed staff to examine the private
streets in the Greens Development and consider the possibility of accepting these as public
streets. This issue has come before the council on two prior occasions, on both occasions the
City Council has determined that there is not sufficient public interest served in converting these
private roadways to substandard public streets. Note that on past occasions the property owners
were apparently asking for only one street to be converted, now they are asking for all the private
roads to be converted. Attached is a 1992 memo which discusses the issues and physical
conditions relating to the existing private streets. Given that conditions have not significantly
changed since 1992, the discussion and recommendations in this attached memo still hold true.
As part of the 1992 memo, the following recommendations were made:
1. Council should determine the public interest served by converting a private
roadway to a substandard public street.
2. Council should determine how a decision to accept these streets would impact on
other areas of the city that are served by private streets.
3. Council should determine how conversion costs are to be paid.
After considering this issue, staff is of the opinion that item 2 is of particular importance.
Accepting these as public streets will set a precedent. Other properties in the city served by
private streets or common driveways will then have grounds for similar requests. The only way

to avoid this type of situation would be to stay with the city's current operating procedure and not
accept this as a public street or as an alternative create a new policy. Such a policy would create
standards and conditions for conversion of private roadways to public streets and also address the
viability of the creation of new private roadways in new developments. See attached memo from
the League of Minnesota Cities regarding public policy.
City staff has looked into other similar situations that have occurred in the city and has
discovered only one similar case in the past twenty years. Pinehurst Lane, off of Croixwood
Blvd., was originally intended to be a private street. The developer began the construction of the
roadway as a private road, but was unable to continue the development. Later, when the
development got underway a second time, a request was made for Pinehurst Lane to be a public
street. The city agreed to accept Pinehurst as a public street, but only under the condition that it
was upgraded and designed to city standards. Pinehurst Lane currently meets the city standards
for a public street, which includes a 32 foot wide roadway and a full size cul-de-sac. For
comparison, the streets in question in the gardens are currently 25 feet wide. Two of the streets
have substandard T turn arounds and one street in question has a dead end with no turn around.
One concern that city staffhas regarding this issue concerns where in the city it may come up in
the future. Similar situations exist in The Cottages, Quarry Lane and a number of apartment and e
condo developments, such as the Bodlovick Apartments.
RECOMMENDATION
Given the substandard nature of the streets in question, this project does not meet the city's
current policy regarding street design, therefore, if the council wishes to consider accepting these
streets then council should also consider re-evaluating our current policy. In further examining
this issue, City Council should:
1. Determine what public interest is served by converting a private roadway to a
substandard public street.
2. Determine how a decision to accept this street would impact other areas
of the city that are served by private streets.
3. Determine how conversion costs are to be paid.
4. Direct staff to obtain all items necessary for conversion if the decision is
made to convert.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FR: City Coordinator
DA: November 3, 1992
RE: CONVERSION OF PRIVATE STREET TO PUBLIC STREET (THE GREENS TOWNHOMES)
The City Council directed staff to further review the request of the Greens
Townhome Association to convert the private road within the Townhome development
to a public street.
The association states that they were surprised to find out the roadway was
private. The association further claims that the covenants were vague and did
not provide a clear and direct notice that the streets and utilities were
private. However, 11m not sure if this should be a factor in the Council's
decision on the matter. The covenants, etc., and what they represent is an issue
between the seller and buyer of the townhomes. The only issue before the Council
is whether or not a public purpose is served by making a private roadway a
substandard public street and if a public purpQse is served, is it practical to
do so given the existing physical conditions associated with the streets and
utili ties. Further, would such a change in policy obligate the City to convert
other private streets (e.g., Cottages of Stillwater, Bruggeman/Gardens, etc.)
to public streets.
From a physical standpoint, the street is a substandard street and would require
the acquisition of easements or right-of-way in order to construct or have the
potential to construct a standard city street. The street is presently 40 feet
wide with a paved surface of 24 feet. A standard city street has a right-of-
way of 60 feet with a 32 foot paved surface. However, if adequate right-of-way
is obtained, then the setback (front of structure to right-of-way line) would
become substandard. The normal setback is 30 feet. A setback of only a few feet
would be the result of making this street a standard city street with standard
right-of-way. Therefore, it does not appear to be practical to create a standard
city street (i.e., 60 feet wide). Further, it does not appear to be possible
to construct a standard turnaround because of the lack of available land and the
location of the buildings in relation to the streets. One of the reasons for
constructing a standard turnaround is to provide access and maneuverability for
emergency vehicles. On the other hand, an emergency vehicle would still have
to travel down the present roadway in order to get to a victim or to suppress
afire. In other words, the physical conditions may constitute an impediment
but does not prevent emergency vehicle access.
The only other problems related to physical conditions is snow plowing. Although
the narrowness of the street may allow for quick plowing, snow storage could
become a problem because of the limited area available for storage. Also, snow
removal of a higher frequency (than other residential streets) might be required
because of the lack of snow storage capacity.
In regards to the construction standards (Le., load limits, size of pipe, etc.),
it appears that the streets and utilities were constructed to city standards and
would not require unusual repair and/or replacement costs.
In order to convert the roadway to a public street, it will be necessary to
survey existing utilities and drainage easements, write easement descriptions
and to prepare as built (utility) drawings. The cost of this work (primarily
engineering and legal work) is estimated to be $3,500. Therefore, The Council
should decide whether or not the roadway should be made a public street before
proceeding any further. The Council may also want to determine how the cost of
the aforementioned work is to be recovered.
Recommendation
1. Council detennine public interest served by converting private roadway and
utilities to a substandard public street and utilities.
2. Council determine how a decision to accept this street would impact on
other areas of the city that are served by private streets.
3. Council determine how conversion costs are to be paid.
4. Direct staff to obtain all items necessary for conversion if decision is
to convert.

Council Policy Roles
COMMENTS: .
I found a few items in our files that may be of assistance in outlining how the council should consider its
actions for their effect on policy, and the role of the council in setting policies. None of these items
really comes out and says "be consistenf', but this concept appears to me to underlie the text. I have
marked some portions of the text that best seem to illustrate this.
The League's Handbook for Minnesota Cities discusses the role of the individual council member and
describes "making policy" among the council's chief duties. It notes that they should be concerned ~'not
only with the conduct of daily affairs, but also with the future development of the city". Thus, daily
actions should be viewed within the larger context.
Also provided are sections of books 1 and 3 in the leMA's series of Elected Officials Handbooks
discussing policy making in general and policy in the context of the public works arena. Again there is
language pointing out that the job of the COuncil is to set the policy framework in which the day-to-day
decisions are made. Elected officials must deoide what service to provide and in what ways. Underlying
this statemen~ it seems to me, is the concept that there is an overall plan and the individual decisions,
like your current situation about inconsistent standards between private and public roads, must be made
with it in mind. Of coW'Se policies may still need a variety of options and sometimes exceptions, but
many inconsistencies or reversals of decisions would seem to result in no real policy at all.
I hope these items are helpful in the city's upcoming discussion and decision process.

FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer

DATE: December 1, 1995
SUBJECT: Pine Street Feasibility Report L.I. 295
DISCUSSION
Attached is a Feasibility Report from SEH which discusses the reconstruction of Pine Street from
Co. Rd. 5 to Holcombe Street. Dick Moore will be available at the meeting to present the
Feasibility Report to the council.
There are some outstanding issues remaining to be resolved regarding this project. The issue of
sidewalk installation on one or both sides of Pine Street must be resolved. The method of
splitting assessments should be discussed by City Council. Also, the phasing of the project
should be determined.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend council discuss the information presented in the Feasibility Report and the
outstanding issues. Based on the information presented in the Feasibility Report, this project
appears to be both technically and financially feasible. Therefore, I recommend council pass a
resolution accepting the report and calling for a public hearing on the improvement of Pine Street
from Holcombe to County Rd. 5.

SUBJECT: Brick Pond Dredging and Storm Water Improvements
DISCUSSION
Staff has completed the plans for the storm water design for the Brick Pond improvements and a
permit has been submitted to the Department of Natural Resources. For this project, the city is
acting as a general contractor and several subcontractors will be used to complete various aspects
of the project. It is anticipated that MN Dot will perform dredging of the pond for the city. As
of Friday the city is still receiving quotations for the completion of this work, more information
will be available on Tuesday evening.

CITY OF STILL WATER
MEMO
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
DATE: December 5, 1995
SUBJECT: Additional Information on Brick Pond Dredging and Storm Water
Improvements
DISCUSSION
Because of the unique nature of this project city staff is essentially acting as the general
contractor on this job. The services of a number of different contractors will be used as well as
the servic;~s of public agencies. Also, some standard materials must be obtained, including pipe,
manhol~S:, concrete bends, riprap and silt fence.
The first step in this process will be to clear out an access route using a D5 dozer. Quotes were
pptained from Raleigh Contracting at $65.00 an hour and Arndt at $85.00 an hour. Trees must
be cleared and grubbed. It is anticipated that the city can perform much of this work. The
dredging of Brick Pond itself will be completed by MN Dot. MN Dot has agreed to supply an
operator and a super hoe, which is a large dredging backhoe. It is anticipated that the costs of the
dredging by MN Dot will be covered by way of a swap of city labor for hauling snow out of
downtown. Additional silt fence must be installed and this could be installed by Raleigh or the
city at an estimated cost of about $500.
It is anticipated that 248 feet of 54" reinforced concrete pipe will be required.
C. W. Houle - $22,320
Royal Concrete Products - $21,250
Hydrocon -
*Fuhr - na
Also a manhole and some pipe bends must be purchased. Prices are as follows:
C.W. Houle $8,532
Royal Concrete Products - $8,168
Hydrocon
*Fuhr - na
. Riprap must also be purchased for installation in the bottom of the channel. Bids as follows:
C.W. Houle - $500
Hydrocon
*Fuhr - na
The silt fence can be purchased by the city for approximately $400.
A private contractor will be necessary to install the pipe, the manhole and the pipe bends. A
contractor can be hired based on labor prices. Bids received are as follows:
.c.W. Houle - $9,350
Hydrocon - $19,750
Fuhr trenching - na
*Hydrocon submitted a quotation which included a lump sum for the furnishing of all material
for a price of$30,125.
-
This project is unique in that it is using a number of sources for labor and materials. It is also
unique because significant cost savings will result if the project is completed in the early winter,
therefore, we need to construct the project very soon. Based on the prices of the quotes received
and our discussions with construction material suppliers it appears that C.W. Houle has provided
the lowest quote on the labor, therefore, it is recommended that C.W. Houle be hired for all the
labor for installing the pipe, manholes, bends and riprap at a total price of$9,350. Royal
~....oncrete products has supplied the lowest price for pipe materials as well as manholes and
bends; therefore, it's recommended we obtain the materials from R.C.P MN Dot can be used for
all dredging and it is recommended Raleigh be used for bulldozer grading at a rate of $65.00 per
hour. City forces can obtain and install the silt fence and remove trees.

TO
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Laurie Maher, Chair
Stillwater Charter Commission
RE:
Requested change to City Charter
DArE:
November 30, 1995
The City Charter Commission has met during the last year and spent many hours studying the
City Charter procedures for choosing successors to vacant seats on the City Council and making
appointments to Boards and Commissions. After the study, the Commission has recommended that
the Charter be changed according to the enclosure that shows the draft language for the various
recommended changes.
The first change would provide for the creation of the office of Vice Mayor, and would provide the
Vice Mayor would act as Mayor during the temporary absence or disability of the Mayor. Article
3.03 would be changed to have the Council elect council people to fill vacancies on the City Council,
but that if the Office of the Mayor'becomes vacant, the Vice Mayor will automatically fill the vacancy
for the unexpired term.
The second change, Articles 13.05 and 14.03, would provide for appointments to and removal from
the Water Board and the Library Board by vote of the Council rather than the present system that
allows some appointments by the Mayor.
A new Article 15.08 would expand this same procedure to all other Boards and Commissions. A 4/5
vote of Council would be required for any removal. This article would also provide for publication of
notice when a vacancy occurs on the Boards and Commissions, and that the opening be unfilled for 60
days after the publication. We think this change will allow for the broadest kind of participation and
give people plenty of time to become aware of vacancies that might interest them.
We would like a new Article 15.07 inserted in the Charter that is a recitation of the language in the
Minnesota Statutes regarding the appointment of Charter Commission Members, but we think for
informational purposes it should be included in the Charter itself.
While there are many ways of changing the Charter, we think the best way for the City would be to
have the Mayor and Council unanimously adopt an ordinance approving these Charter changes. The
Charter Commission would be happy to meet with the City Council to discuss these changes and our
reasons for suggesting them. We look forward to hearing from you and working together on this.
Yours very trul~ 1

Article 6.02 Vice Mayor. After the election of its members, the Council must, at its first meeting,
elect one of its members to be Vice Mayor, who will act as Mayor Pro Tempore during the
temporary absence or disability of the Mayor.
Article 3.03 Filling Vacancies. When a vacancy occurs on the Council, the Council must elect
another person to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term of the vacant office, and until the
successor thereto is elected and qualifies.
When a vacancy occurs in the office of Mayor, the Vice Mayor will fill the vacancy for the
unexpired term of the vacant office, and until the successor thereto is elected and qualifies.
When a vacancy occurs in the office of Vice Mayor, the Council must elect one of its
members to fill the office.
Article 13.05 Membership. Appointment to and removal from the Board shall be pursuant to
Section 15.08 of this Charter. Appointments, except appointments to vacancies, shall be for a term
of three years. Vacancies in the Board from any cause other than expiration of term of office shall
be filled by appointment for the unexpired term. Each member of the Board shall serve without
compensation, shall qualify by subscribing to a filing in the office of the City Clerk and oath that
the member shall faithfully and impartially perform the duties of the office, and the term of office
shall continue until a successor is appointed and qualified.
14.03 Appointment and removal. Appointment to and removal from the Library Board shall be
pursuantto Section 15.08 of this Charter.
Article 15.07 Appointment of Charter Commission Members. Notice of vacancies on the
Charter Commission must be published in the City's official publication and mailed to all Charter
Commission members a minimum of ninety(90) days prior to the expiration of a Charter
Commission member's term or upon a vacancy occurring on the Commission. The vacancy must
be filed by appointment of the Chief Judge of the Tenth Judicial District pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes 410.05, and if the Chief Judge fails to appoint new commission members within 30 days,
then thereafter the City Council may appoint new members unless, within the 30 day period, the
Chief Judge indicates in writing to the City Council an intention to appoint new members, in which
case the Chief Judge will have an additional 60 days to make the appointment.
Article 15.08 Appointment to and Removal from all other Boards and Commissions.
Appointment to and removal from all other Boards and Commissions must be made by vote of the
Council. Removal from all other Boards and Commissions shall be by 4/5th vote of the Council.
Notice of vacancies on Boards and Commissions must be published in the City's official
publication a minimum of sixty (60) days before a vacancy is filled.
