The following is the schedule for Council review of department budget requests on August 27th: 4:30 - 5:30 Parks 5:30 - 6:00 Building Inspection 6:00 - 6:30 Break 6:30 - 7:00 Community Development 7:00 - 7:30 Fire 7:30 - 8:15 Library 8:15 - 9:00 Police 9:00 - 9:30 Legal, Plant City Hall, Un-allocated, Etc. 9:30 - ??? Admin, Finance, Council, Other discussion It will probably be somewhat difficult to stay with the time schedule. I would suggest that if the Council gets bogged down on certain items that the item be set aside for further discussion at another time. Usually this happens if council has not been given adequate information for discussion. Just a reminder that the Council needs to adopt the budget by September 15th. I would recommend that the Council try to determin~ an acceptable budget and tax levy by the meeting of September 3rd. As you know the City can decrease but not increase the tax levy after this date (without being penalized). For your information, I have had Marcy Cordes, Admin. Asst. working with department heads to develop a 5 yr CIP. I anticipate that we will have a draft of the CIP to Council by the middle of September. I would like the Council to think about a workshop date to review and discuss the CIP for possible adoption by November, 1996. I think this should be done prior to the adoption of the final 1997 budget and I believe the CIP will give the council some valuable information for dealing with capital improvements each year - and especially for 1997. e ... ~~ if'" e e . . t: ,.

The department has been busy with comprehensive planning, current project review, parks planning and implementation and economic development. For 1997, new emphasis will be placed on Housing Rehabilitation and Assistance. The City commissions and committees staffed by the department are also listed. The 1997 work program is listed for the areas of department responsibility. Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan will occupy more staff time in 1997 as annexation and development proceeds. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND 1997 WORK PROGRAM Comprehensive Plan: Guide the use of land through the preparation of a City Comprehensive Plan consistent with local development needs, community resource and good planning practices and principles.

Objectives: 1. Develop and distribute public information on planning permits and building requirements. 2. Provide maximum opportunity for public involvement in Plan development and implementation process. Coordination: Cooperate with other City departments and other local, regional and state agencies on projects that benefit the City. . e _I . Obiectives: e 1. Provide planning staff assistance as needed for activities that are related to planning activities. Effectively and clearly represent the City to other local, regional and state governments and organizations. 2. Committees and Commissions Staffed: In carrying out the work program the CommUJ)ity Development Department works primarily with the City Council, Planning Commisfl.on and Heritage Preservation Commission. The Planning Commission is responsible for developing and maintaining the City Comprehensive Plan. City Comprehensive Plan documents include the City-wide Comprehensive Plan (1996), Brick Pond Area Plan (1987), Downtown Area Plan (1988), West Stillwater Business Park Plan (1989), Brown's Creek and Middle River Watershed District Plans (1992) and Lowell Park Renovation Plan (1992). Besides the City Comprehensive Plan Policy, documents that provide general direction for the future development, planning regulations provide specific direction for development projects. The development regulations include the following: Zoning Ordinance BlufflandlShoreland Ordinance West Stillwater Business Park Design Guidelines Demolition Permits Subdivision Ordinance Downtown Design Guidelines Building Moving Regulations Street Vacation Policy The City Council has adopted a Tax Increment Assistance Policy to provide direction for the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) consistent with the purposes and objectives of the city Redevelopment Plan. Planning staff coordinates TIF policy with project development and City staff review. The Planning Commission reviews subdivision of land, planned unit development, special use permits, variances, street vacations, zoning ordinance amendments, annexation requests and comprehensive Plan amendments, building moving and permits. The Planning Commission receives a staff report regarding the planning permit request including an analysis of the project as it relates to site conditions, planning policy and regulations and other public utility impacts. For most cases, notice is sent out to owners of properties within 350 feet of the project. e For a typical planning project, the Planning Commission holds a public meeting, reviews the staff report, receives a project presentation from the applicant, hears public comment, discusses the project and takes action. The Planning Commission's charge is to review the project as it relates to City planning regulations and approve or deny the project. Appeals on Planning Commission actions are heard by the City Council. The Planning Commission is also charged with preparing and maintaining the Compre- hensive Plan. The Planning Department provides staff assistance and direction for the development and update of the Comprehensive Plan. For 1997, preparation of Special Area Plans for the expansion area will be prepared. e The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) reviews the design of projects in the Downtown Historic Commercial District and the Stillwater West Business Park. Design guidelines have been established for those areas. The guidelines provide the basis for project review. The HPC makes recommendation regarding consistency of project design to the Planning Commission and City Council. The HPC mpkes final decisions regarding store signs in the downtown if they meet the Sign Ordinance regalations. The HPC also designates and maintains a list of locally significant historic sites. Once sites are designated, they require HPC approval for building modifications. The primary purpose of the HPC is to ensure that new development is consistent with the historic character of downtown and adopted design standards in the West Stillwater Business Park. e It e ). 1996 SPECIAL PROJECTS COMPLETED OR IN PROGRESS Adoption of Comprehensive Plan Preparation of Design Guidelines for Bluff City Site Oversee & Coordinate Preparation of Pioneer Park Plan Prepare Anez Park Plan Prepare Zoning Amendments Implementing the Comprehensive Plan Update Subdivision Ordinance Revise Park & Trailway Dedication Policy ;- Prepare Livable.communities Plan Obtain Tax Base Revitalization Account Grant McKusick Park Plan Economic Development Maple Island Plant UBC Site Territorial Prison Site Colonial Craft Site Stapples Mill Addition 1997 SPECIAL PROJECTS Annexation Area Special Area Plans; Environmental Review of Expansion Area Development and Service Expansion Zoning Ordinance Revision for Comprehensive Plan Consistency Greeley/Owens Traffic Study Oversee Construction Design of: Territorial Prison Site .;- Maple Island Plant The Bluffs of Stillwater Projects Review and Revise Downtown Design Conditions Prepare Downtown Design Manual Coordinate Sabins Addition Historic District Survey Work with Public Works on Public Land, Parks and Ravines Inventory and Management Plan Downtown Parking District .' e e e ~ IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT/ACTION (from 1996 Comprehensive Plan) Listed below are specific work items, projects, or actions required to implement the --....

Our present blower is gasoline powered and creates Carbon Monoxie which when used to pressurize a structure its fumes are propelled into it. Each year we have responded to many more Carbon monixde detector calls which have required us to remove these fumes in households. This type of fan is far more efficient in this type of call and will reduce the on scene time which will reduce the amount of per hour wages payed out in response. Computer and software $5000.00 Since the department has now reached its ISO rating of 3 , we have had to expand our computer system to allow for more diverse record keeping budgeting and reports retention. An additional computer will enable the Fire Chief and Fire Marshall to access present records but will enable them to access Codes and Standards References available in software pakages included in this cost. Also since the present needs require on duty personnel to use existing equipment there is little time for these two officers to have access to the equipment now in place. Base Radio $15,000.00 The present base station radio is out moded and has difficulty in our present and will fail in our future communications needs it has only one channel capability and this fire department operates on four to six different channels. Repair costs have skyrocketed since this unit is so out of date.

We are asking for this amount as we need two (2) for replacements and one (1) additional for a squad car that doesn't have one. Our department makes a lot of D.W.I. arrests and in doing so, we use preliminary breath testers (commonly called "P.B.T.'s~) for our probable cause to take the violators in for chemical testing. They are also used by officers in their dealings with Juveniles to back up the "zero" alcohol tolerance with them. ~_:tQ...J.OO_Q...!I.OQ.

This is for 3 mar ked squad cars to replace 3, 1995 Ford squads that will be retired from our fleet and includes an extended warranty package with them. Due to more repairs that have to be made out of the city g~rage, the extended warranty is a necessity. There is an awful jump in vehicle prices from last year. This is in part because Ford does not have any competition due to Chevrolet no longer ' making a police package squad car. Another reason for the huge jump in the budget in one year is that we bought two (2) squad cars in 1996 and they were at the holdover 1995 price. Lastly, the 1996 budget figure does not show the extended warranty package we purchased with the 2 Chevrolets. ~.9_Q.Q-,,-.Q.Q.

There is no specific time du~ing the year when the capital outlay purchases have to be made (and the money paid. out), except for the 3 squad cars and the items that go with them.' They would arrive in early to mid summer 1997. If the other purch~ses have to be made in conjunction with money coming into the City we can/will do so. 1997 Personnel Budget Justification Lt:~l.f;.kL UN] F_Q.B.t:1;:.Q.._pOI::.J...CE;......QfEJ q;:B. One reason for asking for an additional patrol officer is the upcoming annexation of the area to the West of the current City boundary. The area will have to be patrolled as construction starts on businesses and the new grade school near County 12 & 15 gets started. As this area grows, there will be a higher demand fo~ services. Also, due to the increase in the size of the City we will have to redo our routine patrol activity which will probably mean dividing the city up into patrol zones - at least to make sure that one (1) squad stays on the West area of the City when we have the man power to do so. Our call~ for 1996 have increased over 1995. Between January 1, 1995 and July 15, 1995 we handled 6,128 calls. Between the same period in 1996 we handled 6,756 calls for an increase of 628 calls for the first 7 1/2 months of 1996. This projects an annual increase of 1,005 calls or 16%. (This annual figure will probably be low as July and August are our busiest months). Each year we get busier and with the increased patrol area in 1997, the number of police responses will again go up, but that amount is unknown. e . . , . Personnel Budget Justification (Account Number 4060 Continued) __ We were allowed to hil'e one new patrol officer for 1996 wl'lich was to replace one uniformed officer going into investigations which will take effect this September. The officer going into investigations is currently assigned as the Downtown patrol officer. lo, 4.....Nf;H..JlN..IEQ.RJ1,!;P.....P,ABI..",..IIJ1,J;:",PQ,k, 1"G f;m.,Qf.FJ,G,I;.R.$ The department is currently down to three (3) part-time officers. We are allowed to have 8 part-timers, I believe, according to state regulations. There isn~t too much cost for these officers othel" than insurance as most of them will be outfitted in used uniforms we have in storage. Part-time officers supply their own leather and weapons. Other than the physical and psychological exams (listed in 4060-40.08) the rest will be absorbed by the budget. 95-31L e e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council ;- ~? FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DATE: August 21, 1996 SUBJECT: 1997 Budget Just a reminder to the City Council, please bring all the 1997 Budget materials that you received for the August 20 meeting to the August 27 Budget meeting. The City Council is scheduled to meet with the remaining department heads to review and discuss their 1997 Budget requests. e e MEMORANDUM . of" TO: FROM: Mayor and City Council ~~ Diane Deblon, Finance Director DATE: August 21, 1996 SUBJECT: Finance Department 1997 Budget Request The primary change in the Finance Department Budget is due to the addition of a Senior Account Clerk. It is anticipated that this position would be paid for through the charging of time to various special assessment projects. We ~ currently keep track of approximately 50 ongoing projects and the development of the annexation area will be adding to that significantly. In addition, the annexation agreement requires (2) separate rural taxing areas, payment to township for lost taxes and differing structures of utility billing and special assessments (i.e. it will be necessary to keep track of each and every parcel coming into the City, including subsequent subdivisions). A new computer included in the budget will be utilized primarily for the Washington County GIS system and will aid with the tracking of properties for projects and payments. The new position would allow the department to handle the flexible benefit payments in-house, saving $2,500 per year. We should also be able to manage the accounts receivable to increase revenue collections. The bottom line is that there is additional revenue to be gained by the City with the addition of a Senior Account Clerk in the Finance Department. e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: 1997 Admin. Budget DA: August 23, 1996 ~ The Administration operations budget for 1997 should reflect a minimal increase over the 1996 budget. No additional staff or special projects/programs are requested. The capital outlay requests for Administration includes $5000 for computer equipment (primarily for the Admin Asst.) and $18,000 for a LAN to provide "internet" access to City Hall. I can discuss the budget requests further with you on Tuesday. .. ~~ ~ -. COMMUNITY e \lOLUNTEER SERVICE Of The 51. Croix Valley Area August 20, 1996 2300 Orleans St. w. Stillwater, MN 55082 612-439-7434 Mayor Jay Kimble City Council Members City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, MN 55082 ;- Dear Mayor and Council Members: This is a letter to request continued support from the City of Stillwater for programs of Community Volunteer Service (CVS). In 1995 the City of Stillwater supported CVS through a generous donation of$11,685.00. We are requesting a donation of$12,000.00 in 1996 due to an increase in the number of individuals that we are serving. We hope that you will continue to see CVS as a non-profit agency that provides important services to your citizens and is worthy of your support. CVS is a non-profit organization supported by voluntary contributions from individuals, businesses, municipalities, foundations and The St. Croix Area United Way. CVS has been providing the services of the Senior Center, Volunteer Center, Transportation Program and the Holiday Bureau for individuals and agencies since its inception in 1967. All of these services are provided for no or a nominal feel to the citizens of Stillwater. The Stillwater Senior Community center, a program ofCVS, is a focal point for comprehensive, high quality programs of service and activities that enhance the well being of older adults in the Stillwater area. In 1995 the center made 20,951 senior contacts. This is an increase of 2,472 senior contacts over 1994. Activities provided include; fitness programs, 55 Alive Driving Instruction, parties, movies, bingo, educational classes, tax help, information and referral, blood pressure and foot care clinics, blood mobile drives, bridge instruction, card games, legal advocacy, and dropping in for friendship, snacks and coffee. The Senior Center also sponsors a Senior Dining program. This is a program where a nutritious noon meal is served to seniors and/or those with disabilities, who live on fixed incomes. The meals are available on site at the center or through home delivered meals to those who are homebound. e cr, A Vol...._ Cent., RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM 1$\ THE ST. CROIX AREA UNITED WAY. e e l , .. In 1995, 6,180 meals were served at the Senior Center and 14,400 were delivered from CVS through the Meals on Wheels Program. Participants may voluntarily donate money toward their meal which goes toward the cost of the food. CVS is responsible for overhead costs such as the use of the kitchen and dining area, utilities, supplies, the need for additional Senior Center staffing to run the program, and volunteer expenses. The CVS Transportation Program provides a unique service to individuals who are "transit dependent" and have no other means of getting to important medical appointments. Volunteers provide rides to people who are medically fragile, disabled, and who often cannot tolerate riding other forms of trapsportation services due to comfort issues as well as not being able to tolerate long ~aiting periods after medical appointments due to their disability and/or illness. Before we recruit a volunteer driver for a client we help them fully research all of their transportation options. Often, we are their last and only resource. In 1995 area residents used the CVS Transportation Program for a total of 79,472 miles, 1,558 trips serving 303 individuals. Residents of your fine city also receive services from CVS through the many non-profit agencies, over 100, that CVS recruits and refers volunteer to through the CVS Volunteer Center. These agencies serve citizens in The St. Croix Valley and represent a broad cross section of human services. In 1995 The CVS Volunteer Center matched the time and talent of2, 136 volunteers to needs in their community, providing real solutions to serious social problems. The Volunteer Center also promotes and recognizes volunteerism in the community through ongoing radio presentations, newspaper features and established volunteer recognition programs. In 1995, The Volunteer Center also provided volunteer management training and technical assistance to 359 volunteer managers through workshops on volunteer management and consultation to 15 volunteer managers to upgrade their volunteer programs. Through the Holiday Bureau Program, community donations of food, clothing and toys are made available to families who are in need of assistance at Christmas. Many families, businesses and organizations are involved in this program. As with all CVS programs, the Holiday Bureau is only successful through the help of volunteers.

Sincerely, r~jl(Aw Kathy Miron, Executive Director I e ~ A Volun_ Cent., RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM 8\ THE ST. CROIX AREA UNITED WAY. e Ie MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Sue Fitzgerald, Planner Klayton Eckles, City Engineer. ~ Date: August 21, 1996 Re: Downtown Historic Lights DISCUSSION After the August 20th Council discussion of downtown lighting, staff discussed the issue in more detail and reached consensus that we will not get 100% of the downtown merchants to sign off on an assessment waiver. Also, staff recommends we look at the lighting plan for the entire downtown district to insure that whatever we do now will not preclude future improvements. There may be reasons to consider doing more lighting improvements than was proposed at the Council meeting. Therefore a feasibility report is recommended to answer these questions and allow for the local improvement process to commence. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council pass a resolution ordering the City Engineer to prepare a feasibility report on pedestrian lighting in the downtown district. ~ . e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: Change Order # 5, City Hall project DA: August 27, 1997 ~ Discussion: Accompanying this memo are the Proposal Requests # 11 & # 12 (along with supporting documentation) that make up change order No.5. I have also included an update of the Construction costs to date. As it stands right now it appears that the project could run over the projected costs. However, there are some project items that are yet to be determined, especially some of the costs listed under "Owners Project Costs" which could come under the estimated costs. The Council will be able to look at these items at a later date. Recommendation: Approve change order No.5 ~ d.dt . ~ > e e ~"",-u:.;..~. II. L~II..
