REPLACE THE OTHER 7 VESTS THE FIRST PART OF NEXT YEAR. SOME OF 'THE
"NEXT 7" ARE FOR PART-TIME OFFICERS WHERE THERE WILL NOT BE A REFUND
FROM THE STATE FOR THEIR VESTS DUE TO THEM NOT HAVING A FULL-TIME

PROCESS. IT HAS BEEN AWARDED TO OUR DEPARTMENT, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE
THE FINAL PAPERS FROM THE COURT. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS EXCELLENT,
IT WAS JUST REPAINTED. I AM ASKING THAT WHEN WE TAKE POSSESSION OF
THE TRUCK WE BE ALLOWED TO SELL THE CURRENT C.S.O. TRUCK AND TOPPER
AND USE THAT MONEY TO PURCHASE A NEW TOPPER FOR THE FORFEITED TRUCK
(THE CURRENT TRUCK IS MEDIUM SIZE & THE FORFEITED ONE IS FULL SIZE),
PURCHASE GRAPHICS AND CHANGE OVER THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (RADIO,
SIREN, LIGHTS ETC.) FROM THE CURRENT VEHICLE TO THE "NEW" ONE. THERE
ALSO IS A BALANCE OF $795.00 IN THE 1995 POLICE BUDGET FOR REPAIRS TO
THE BODY OF THE CURRENT TRUCK WHICH WILL NOT BE SPENT FOR THAT

for the recommendation was to shift the density of population growth from the new
annexation area and spread some into the existing City.
Councilmember Cummings expressed concern with traffic issues and the possibility of
expanded retail area in the northwest comer of the area. Mr. Russell reported a four acre
site is included in the plan.
Councilmember Zoller stated the need to reflect potential park acquisition in the plan.
Mr. Russell reported that the plan does identify general areas but not specific sites.
Councilmember Zoller questioned if already developed areas in the annexation area could
be placed in the rural taxing district. Mr. Tautges discussed the fiscal impacts of rural
taxing districts.
Councilmember Zoller questioned Mr. Moore on the costs of sewer/water main through
the developed area. Mr. Moore reported that there would be no cost to property owners
in Middle Trunk A at this time. South Trunk B would carry costs to get to other areas.
Councilmember Bealka requested information on trails along the west side of Long Lake.
Mr. Russell and Mr. Moore reported trails would be over sewer easements.

Citizens Concerned for the Restoration of Lake McKusick
1941 Oak Glen Place, Stillwater, MN 55082
10/31/95
Hon. Mayor Jay Kimble and Stillwater City Council
Municipal Building
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor Kimble and Stillwater City Council:
We are a recently formed citizens group who want to be involved in the restoration of
Lake McKusick's natural spaces. Our first formal meeting was held on Saturday, October
27, 1995 and was well attended with great enthusiasm.
Our recommendation is that a joint task force be set up which would include
representation of the concerned citizens group. This project has great potential for
strengthening our bonds as a community. We have a large number of concerned citizens
who are willing to work together having knowledge and expertise in different areas. The
group envisions getting school children involved, especially in connection with planting
and path building to give them a vested interest in the project so that they can better
appreciate the natural habitat and hopefully protect it rather than destroy it. Stonebridge
School has expressed an interest in developing nature trails connecting with the Lake Mc
Kusick area. We would be willing to assist the schools to tie this in with their studies.
The goal would be to preserve this as a 'wild' area.
Our concerns include:
Access - restoring the path around the lake incorporating the old trolley path. We
see the possible need for a floating boardwalk on the northwest comer of
the lake.
Vegetation - restoring plantings of 'native' vegetation so that eventually it will in
effect care for itself while supporting wildlife.
Parks - return of the park playground on the comer of McKusick and Owens
considering parking problems and safety. Also the small area on Green
Twig Way.
We understand that there are funds designated for this restoration. We are most
interested in what our Citys' short and long term restoration plans are.
We care!
e
Sincerely, '-. J 0 .'

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
November 3, 1995
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
'I-~/
SUBJECT: End of Probationary Period for Tim Moore
DISCUSSION
The 15th of November marks the end of the six month probationary period for Tim Moore.
During his first six months Tim Moore has demonstrated himself to be highly skilled in all
aspects of municipal engineering, as well as very dedicated to providing the public with quality
service. Tim's presence on the city staffhas greatly increased the capability of the engineering
and public works department.
The following is a list of some of the projects and tasks in which Tim has completed in his fust
six months:
. Assisted in the preparation of plans and specifications for city projects, including the
sidewalk and brick pond projects.
. Coordinated and inspected city projects.
. Prepared city assessment roles and attended assessment hearings.
. Reviewed graling plans and as-built surveys for single family and commercial buildings.
. Responded to citizen complaints and concerns regarding various city projects.
. Provided technical support to other staff members, as need.
Adding Tim Moore to city staff has not only improved our level of service, but has also cut costs
on certain projects. Any time which Tim spends on city projects has been charged against
these projects, therefore, Tim's salary has been recaptured via assessments and project charges.
RECOMMENDATION
e All in all Tim has greatly increased our level of service and he has done an outstanding job,
therefore, I highly recommend Tim Moore for permanent employment status.
RESOLUTION NO. 95-
APPROVING PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT OF TIM MOORE

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Stillwater, Minnesota, that the permanent full-time
employment of Tim Moore as Engineering Technician IV from and after November 15, 1995,

Clerks Index. Providing Your Team With A Modehl"
Solution To An Age-Old Problem
The Maior Issue
Manual systems solutions to the management
actions indexing and records management problem
are notoriously time-consuming and full of holes.
Accuracy and speed are also issues.
Munimetrix solved this problem by developing
a computer-based system, Clerks Index (CI), which is
easy to learn and use, and economical as well. It is a
proven and trustworthy system, already in use in hundreds
of jurisdictions in the United States and Canada.
Cl is software designed for any PC user, from
the novice to the expert. Fully descriptive menu options
lead you through the system, rather than cryptic single
words or command codes. An in-depth Users Manual
provides you with detailed explanations and suggestions
when needed.
Read on to learn more about the many features
of Clerks Index.
A Flexible Approach
Cl offers alternatives to the indexing problem.
The easiest method is to simply import the full text of
your meeting minutes, or other documents, from your
word processing files. CI can interface with any word
processing software, and can also 'accept text input
from a scanner. This method will quickly create your
database of past management actions.
CI offers you yet another indexing alternative.
Create a cross-reference index to define key action
items or documents using Cl's capability to handle free-
form keywords selected by you. No need to remember
e
or refer to complex coding schemes for subject class,
sub-class or sub-sub-class, and so on. This method
does require a data entry step, however, since you are
defining your own index, it is very efficient.
You may choose to use either method
exclusively, or both in combination with one another.
This flexibility, plus the special features and records
management capability discussed below, makes CI
superior to other software.
Fast, Accurate Database Searches
Other computer-based text search programs
allow you to enter only one "search string", or at best
will only allow you to enter another after the first search
is finished. These systems also require an exact match
for a successful search "hit". This approach is inefficient,
and may result in an inaccurate or incomplete search.
Cl corrects this deficiency. You can specify
multiple key words or phrases and put them in an
"and/or" relationship. Cl will then search for all of
them simultaneously. You can even search using
partial keywords. This way, anyone researching an item
or related set of items would only need to know in
general what they are looking for.
Where other text search programs may give
you only a list of documents, forcing you to scan pages
of text to locate the sections you need, Cl has a better
solution. After your search is complete, Cl presents
you with three lines of text for each successful
"hit". You can quickly locate and scan, or print, the
appropriate ones.
Useful Special Features
Clerks Index is specifically designed for public
sector entities, boards, agencies, commissions or
districts. Cl's system has two open date fields which
you can use for "tickler" purposes. For example, a
future meeting date can be entered for a tabled agenda
item. An expiration date can be entered for certain
items such as leases, temporary permits and so on.
Also, CI has a field to enter a responsible
department, section or person for tracking purposes.
Records Management Capability
An optional add-on module is available that
extends the keyword indexing capability of Cl into a
full records management system.
The module includes retention scheduling,
records inventory management and file/document
checkout and disposition tracking.
The user-defined retention table can accommodate
any schedule you employ, whether or not mandated
by a higher authority. The inventory portion can be
used for any storage media or location. Also, the
checkout tracking portion enables you to quickly locate
a file which has been temporarily removed from its
regular location.
Valuable Report Options
Clerks Index has very useful standard reports,
but its most valuable feature is selective reporting
capability. This feature allows you to define the exact
contents and presentation order of your report. You
can enter any combination of document source, action
type, up to three keywords, and date ranges. Plus,
you can specify summary or detailed formats as well
as the "sort" desired.
The CI records management module also has
this reporting feature. Select any combination of stor-
age media, general location, and specific location point-
ers. Standard reports include file movement history,
records inventory, or records that should be moved to
inactive storage or destroyed.
Of course, the on-line search capabilities of
Clerks Index will eliminate the need for extensive hard
copy printing.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: City Coordinator
SUBJECT: Liquor Licence fee increase
DATE: November 3, 1995
The second reading of Ordinance No. 795 amending City Code Chapter 43.01, increasing liquor
licence fees is on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting. The current fees are $2000 per licence and the
proposed fees are $2500. There are 19 licence holders. The fees have not been increased since 1986.
City staff met with representatives of the local Liquor Retailers Association this past Monday. The
Association, although not completely opposed to an increase, did voice their objection to an increase
that was not justifiable or directly related to the costs of issuing, inspecting and enforcing laws
associated with the licence. A recent Court of Appeals decision involving the City of West St. Paul
was cited by the Association. They believe the decision in this case requires the City to justify the
increase. It was suggested that the City do a study to determine definitive costs related to the
licence.
I have reviewed the Court of Appeals case referred to by the Association (see attachments) and it
appears to me that the City has some discretion in setting the fees and as long as there is a reasonable
relationship between the license fee and the costs of issuance, inspection and enforcement the fees
would be justifiable. I would further suggest that the costs related to the fees easily exceed the
revenues received from the fees. At $2500 per licence the revenues would be $47,500 per year.
According to City staff the annual expenditures related to the sale and consumption of alcohol are
estimated to be, at a minimum, about $ 56,116 per year based on the following analysis:
Police related activities-
$ 51,440
Inspection activities-
2 inspections per year at 19 locations
and 2.5 hrs per inspection @$ 23.65 per hr =
2247
e
Issuance activities-
','
City Clerk-19 license @ 2hr per @ $24.25 hr=
City Attorney
929
1500
e
Total estimated costs
$ 56,116
The costs listed above do not include all costs associated with liquor licencing (such as processing
DWI's and associated prosecutorial costs). Therefore, a fee of$ 2500 per licence would certainly
appear to be justifiable and appropriate.
I think it is important to keep in mind that the City has not increased the licence fees since 1986. The
cost of the activities related to the licence has increased by 40% since 1986. If the City had merely
increased the fees according to COLA each year since 1986 (which I believe would have been
justified given the expenditure side of the ledger) the licence holder would have paid additional fees
of$ 1932 over the past ten years. By the same token the fees would now be $2823 which is less than
what is being proposed. Further the estimated costs were based on 1995 dollars and our costs are
expected to increase by at least 3% in 1996. I would suggest that the on-sale liquor establishments
have realized a budgetary savings of at least $1932 over the past ten years and that the proposed
$500 increase should have been anticipated given the lack of increases in prior years - and especially
given the discussion that has taken place each year on this issue.
For your information the study conducted by David M. Griffith and Associates for the City of West
St. Paul cost that city $12,500. It is interesting to note that the City of West St. Paul established an
"Occupational Tax" applicable only to holders of an on-sale licence to recover the cost of the study.
Each on-sale establishment in West St. Paul (15 licence holders) has to pay $225 per year (in
addition to the regular fees) for four years to pay for the study. I do not believe that it is necessary
for the City of Stillwater to conduct such a study (in fact the study conducted for the City of West
St. Paul was ordered by the Appellate Court judge during the appeal). However, I would recommend
that the City Council consider the same cost recovery method if a study is conducted.
Prior to the meeting that took place on October 30th the Police Department (primarily Davin Miller)
had met with representatives of the Liquor Retailers Association to discuss issues related to the
consumption of alcohol and the general operations of the establishments. These issues were also
discussed at the meeting of the 30th. The main concern of both the City and the Association is the
potential for creating the wrong kind of image for the downtown area if fighting and other type of
inappropriate behavior is left unchecked. This could happen 1) if the establishments do not establish
proper procedures to minimize excessive drinking, fighting, etc.; and 2) if there is a lack of police
presence in the area. Both the City and the Association expressed a willingness to continue to
cooperate with each other to keep the downtown area a place of entertainment and relaxation and not
a trouble spot. I think the association should be commended for taking a proactive stance on this
matter. The Police department thru Davin Miller should also be commended for working closely
with the Association- and should be directed to continue with this cooperative effort.
In any event staff would recommend the second reading Ordinance No. 795 as written.

Alcohol Related Prosecution Effort
DATE:
November 2, 1995
Our records revealed that in the calendar year 1993 our office opened S92 fales and in the
calendar year 1994, 659 files. As or November 2, 1995, we he have opened !87 files and projected
through the end of 1995 we will no doubt open more than 700 files.
Approximately 7S% of these files involve alcohol use or abuse. The prosection,of alcohol related
driving offenses accounts for at least 90% of the total effort of our office, however, because the
prosecution of DWI offenses is more complicated and time consuming than other offenses, and defendants
charged with alcohol related driving offenses are more apt to plead not guilty and demand a trial.
While I have not undertaken a careful study, I would estimate that the vast majority of the effort
put forth for the prosecution of alcohol related offenses is somehow related to either the procurement ot'
consumption of alcohol from or in one of the local licensed establishments. Please let me know if you
need to have further information on this.
Yours very truly.

Minn. Stat. ~ 340A.408, subd. 2(a) (1992) states that liquor
license annual fees be related to the costs of issuing, inspecting

RANDALL, Judge
Appellants Dunham's Food & Drink, Inc., et ale appeal from the
district court's dismissal of their claim against the City of West
St. Paul (city)., Appellants contend ,that the fee a city may charge
for a liquor license is narrowly restricted by statute to the
dollar costs of issuing and directly enforcing the license. Minn.
Stat. ~ 340A.408, subd. 2(a) (1992). They further argue that the
district court erred in determining that the city's costs of
issuing and enforcing liquor licenses exceeded revenue from license
fees. We affirm.
FACTS
Appellants are seven West St. Paul businesses engaged in the
retail lIon-salell of intoxicating liquor. The city issues licenses
to these establishments. Each business pays a license fee set by
the city. From 1980 through 1992, the city charged an annual fee
of $2,500 for each license. During that lengthy period appellants
paid the $2,500 without court challenge.
In 1992, the West St. Paul City Council pa3sed ordinance 92-
09, which set a new fee schedule for the next six years. The
annual fee would increase from $2,500 to $2,750 in 1993 and then by
. Retired judge of the distric~ court, serving as judge of the
Minnesota Court of Appeals by appointment pursuant to Minn. Const.
art. VI, ~ 10. ~

e
Ie
$250 per year until 1998, when the annual fee would reach $4,000.
Only the 1993 fee increase of $250 is at issue in this lawsuit.
The city uses a variety of methods to enforce liquor laws and
inspect licensed premises. The police conduct periodic "walk-
throughs" of licensed premises to check for underage drinkers and
as a display of police presence. Police usually spend five to ten
minutes in the bar during a walk-through, talking to customers and
to the bartender. Officers also perform nightly checks of liquor
establishments to ensure compliance with closing laws. Police
respond to calls from bars and help deal with intoxicated patrons.
The city council committee of the whole met to discuss
ordinance 92-09. During the meeting, a bar owner asked if the
walk-through program was simply being used to justify increased
license fees. A council member responded that it was not being
used solely to justify an increase, but rather was the beginning of
a new community policing program.
At trial, the city retained David M. Griffith & Associates
(DMG), a national public sector management consulting fi=m. DMG
studied the costs associated with the city's liquor licenses,
namely the (1) police walk-through program and closing checks; (2)
police responses to direct calls; (3j city attorney expense; (4)
city clerk expense i and (5) fire inspection expense. DMG co:r..cluded
that in 1993 these items cost the city $90,604, and that si~ce the
city collected only $41,250 from the issuance of 15 liquor
licenses, the license fees were not a net revenue produci:r..g item.
Following trial, the trial court dismissed apoellants' action,
holding that Minn. Stal:. ~ 340A.408, subd. 2(a) (1992) does not

".
require that the costs of issuing, inspecting and enforcing the
liquor licenses equal or exceed revenues from liquor license fees.
Also, the trial court, by adopting DMG's conclusions that issuing
e
and enforcing city liquor licenses produced a net loss in revenues,
essentially found that respondent was complying with the statute
even if it were to be narrowly construed so that a municipality had
no discretion to have fees exceeding issuing costs.
ISSUE
Did the district court err in determining that the city's
liquor license fees were reasonable under Minn. Stat. ~ 340A.408,
s ubd . 2 (a) ( 1992) .
ANALYSIS
The construction of a statute is a question of law and fully
reviewable by an appellate court. Hibbina Educ. Ass'n v. Public
Emolovment Relations Bd., 369 N.W.2d 527, 529 (Minn. 1985).
Findings of fac=, however, will not be set aside unless clearly
erroneous. Minn. R. Civ. P. 52.01. Because this court does not
render advisory opinions, we consider only the 1993 license fee.
. See In re Northwestern Bell Tel., 371 N.W.2d 563, 568 (Minn. App.
1985), oet. for rev. denied (Minn. Sept. 26, 1985). The evidence
in the record relates to the city's costs in 1993 and it would be
speculation to determine whether proposed future fees are lawful.
The license fee statute provides:
The license fee for a retail on-sale intoxicating liquor
license is the fee set by the city or county issuing the
license subject to the limitations imposed under this
subdivisior.. The license fee is intended to Cover the
COSts of issuina and insoectina and other direc~iv
related costS of enforcement.
e

e
e
I
Minn. Stat. ~ 340A. 408, subd. 2 (a) (1992) (emphasis added). The
last sentence of subdivision 2(a) was added to the statute in a
1992 amendment and is the focus of this case. 1992 Minn. Laws ch.
486, ~ 8.
Subdivision 2 also lists maximum fees that may be
assessed against clubs and for wine licenses.
Minn. Stat.
~ 340A.408, subd. 2 (1992).
Appellants argue that the statute expressly and narrowly
limits the amount of license fees to the city's provable actual
dollar cost of issuing, inspecting and directly enforcing the
licenses. The statute essentially restates the common law, so we
look to common law principles for guidance. See State by Beaulieu
v. City of Mounds View, 518 N.W.2d 567, 570 (Minn. 1994) (statute
should not be construed against common-law principles unless so
required by express words or by necessary implication). At common
law, to be reasonable,
a license fee should be intended to cover the expenses of
issuing, the services of officers, and other expenses
directly or indirectly imposed or incu~red.
Lyons v. City of Minneaoolis, 241 Minn. 439, 442, 63 N.W.2d 585,
588 (1954). A court will not declare license fees "unreasonable
unless they are palpably so." State v. Clcusino, 205 Minn. 296,
300, 285 N.W. 711, 713 (1939). Further,
as it is almost an impossibility to impose a license fee
which exactly equals the necessary costs of issuance and
regulation, it is generally held in our decisions that to
be upheld as a valid exercise of the police power a fee
need not be so restricted in amount as to eliminate any
reasonable revenue which is purely incidental to the
issuance of the license and regulation of the business.
LYons, 241 Minn. at 442-43, 63 N.W.2d at 588. License fees were
acceptable under the common law even i: they "incidentally
5
yield [ed] some return in excess of the amount necessary to
reimburse the city for its police regulatory service." Minneaoolis e
St. RY. Y. City of Minneaoolis, 229 Minn. 502, 510, 40 N.W.2d 353,
359 (1949). We note the s~atute relates only to direct enforcement
costs, while the common law rule encompassed both direct and
indirect costs. The 1992 amendment is a greater restriction on the
license fees than existed at common law.
However, we note the
amendment does not include mandatory restrictive language that
states, for instance:. t_l1.e fee "must not be greater than" or "can
not exceed" enforcement costs. The intent of the statute does not
appear to deprive a municipality of all discretion in setting
reasonable license fee levels.
Appellants contend the district court erred in its conclusion
that the statute
dces not require that any fee imposed cannot exceed the
costs of issuing and inspecting and other directly
related costs of enforcement for the license year.
We agree with appellants that the trial court's statement may seem
contra~ to the intent of the 1992 amendment. However, we conclude
that while there must be a relationship between the costs and the
license fees, here the record supports the trial court's finding
that the ci~y presented enough evidence to sUfficiently correlate
the slight increase with the projected issuance and enforcement
costs. Appellants willingly paid $2,500 each year for more than
ten years.
The increase of $250 for 1993 is modest.
Even in
periods of normal inflation, the cost of law enforcement and police
protec~ion is generally ::::-elated to the consumer price index.
Testimony at trial indicated that if the fee had been increased
el
6
e
'since' 1980 dollar for dollar with the consumer price index, a
liquor license would cost $4,280 in 1993. It would take an
expansive view of the role of an appellate court to reverse a
municipality's decision to raise a liquor license fee from $2,500
to $2,750. The trial court did ~ot abuse its discretion by finding
that the costs of issuing, inspeccing and enforcing liquor licenses
justified the city's fee increase.
We recognize that a different issue might be presented if the
increase was by leaps and bounds and unsupported by any evidence.
Had the schedule for fee increases shown a jump of $2,000 or $3,000
per year for five consecutive years, our decision might be
different, but that is not ou::- issue. Here, the increase was
modest when compared to prior and unobjected to annual fees. The
$250 increase appears reasonable based on the common sense
assumption that law enforcemen= costs tend to slightly increase
each year rather than decrease.
Appellants argue that the walk-through program is not properly
included as a direct enforcemene cost. According to DMG's study,
the walk-through program accou~~s for more than $77,000 of the
$90,604 total enforcement costs. Taking the DMG study at face
value, the city's enforcement cases of $90,604 greatly exceeded the
$41,250 it received from license fees. Even if the walk-through
program were discounted by 50%, =~e estimated enforcement cases are
still in line with the license :ees.
We conclude the fee inc::-ease at issue is well within a
municipality's discretion to c~arge appropriate user fees to
businesses. We recognize that ~ser and license fees cannot be a
e
7
subterfuge for a selective real estate property tax that aoes not
fall uniformly on all business property in the same class.
But
e
license and user fe~s for liquor establishments may legitimately be
higher than license fees for a nearby (same property class cr zone)
business involving, for instance, plumbing or electrical ecr-:ipment.
Real estate taxes on similar assessed valuations should be close,
but user fees may be disparate depending on issuing, re~~:ating,
and enforcement costs.
,There is nothing in this record to support a claim tha~ these
liquor license fees are a hidden form of a selective real estate
tax.
DEe I S ION
The district court did not err in its determination t~at the
city's liquor license fees were reasonable under Minn. Stat.
~ 340A.408, subd. 2 (a) (1992).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
e
The City of West St. Paul, Minnesota, retained David M. Griffith & Associates, Ltd.
(DMG) to conduct an On-Sale Liquor License Fee Study. This study is a direct result
of changes in Minnesota state laws which now require on-sale liquor license fees to
be directly related to the cost of issuing, inspecting, and other directly related costs
of enforcement. The City's fees have been challenged by the On-Sale Liquor Retailers
forcing the City to document the associated costs of licensing on-sale liquor
establishments. This report presents the study results.
This study examines City departments which are directly affected by the issuance of
on-sale liquor licenses in the City of West St. Paul. Full costs developed for the
services provided by these departments include: direct labor costs; divisional and
departmental supervision, where applicable; and supplies and materials cost. Indirect
costs allocated from City central service accounts to the department or division
performing the service are also included.
DMG used budgeted 1993 salaries and expenditures throughout the analysis. These
costs are compared to actual 1993 on-sale liquor license fee rates and revenues for
analysis of potential fee adjustments.
Two categories of costs were examined in this study: direct issuing and direct
enforcement.
,
Direct Issuing - Costs include all costs associated with processing an individual
license application. This includes handling, filing, receipting of monies; recording
of the license; inspections; and reviews and approvals.

STUDY SCOPE
This study included costs incurred by the following departments:
. City Clerk
. City Attorney
. Police
. Fire
A discussion of each of these departments is included later in this report.
OVERALL RESULTS
Total 1993 revenues for on-sale liquor license fees were $41,250. Costs incurred by
the City totaled $90,604, of which $3,159 were direct issuing costs and $87,445
direct enforcement costs. Existing revenues recover approximately 45 % of the related
cost resulting in a general fund subsidy of 55%. In 1993, the City issued 15 on-sale
liquor licenses with a fee of $2,750. The per unit cost of issuing and enforcing a
license is $6,040. These results are summarized in Charts 1 and 2.

DMG, in the costing of on-sale liquor license fees, has proceeded in a conservative
manner. Any service and subsequent cost that could be interpreted as being charged
in another fee area was not included. For example, building inspections, where a
building inspection fee is charged, were not i~cluded as costs. In similar fashion,
police costs were based on conservative time estimates for services performed.

The City of West St. Paul, Minnesota, provides a wide range of services to its
residents. In order to control expenditures and to fund the departments that provide
these services, the City adopts a budget detailing anticipated revenues and
expenditures. Like other governments, the primary focus of financial control is on the
nature and object of expenditures, not necessarily identifying all costs to provide a
specific service, except for services accounted for in enterprise funds. As a result,
existing budgetary accounting systems normally provide only limited information
necessary to determine the relevant costs of specific services. Further, the cost
relations within the City of West St. Paul are quite complex. Accordingly, an
alternative analysis is required.

The on-sale liquor license study performed by DMG identifies all costs, both direct and
indirect, associated with providing services for which fees are currently charged.
This study identifies costs which can be categorized into four classifications:
~1
Direct Labor and Benefits. An average labor effort is identified in each
department which services on-sale liquor licenses. This labor time element or
elements (if more than one person performs tasks in the same area) is multiplied
by a "productive" hourly rate. This productive hourly rate reflects the cost of
compensated absences such as vacations, holidays, and sick leave. An
appropriate amount of benefits is also allocated to the fee area; this typically
includes PERA, FICA, and insurance benefits.
'\
..~
~~
j
~
Services and Suoolies. These costs are department budget items necessary to
support the activities performed. These costs include items such as training,
telephone, contracted services, maintenance, and office supplies that are
directly identifiable to the service area.

Deoartmental Administration. Such items include appropriate costs for
supervision, support staff, and top department administration. Costs include
salaries, benefits, and related services and supplies.
Indirect Overhead Costs. Indirect overhead costs such as accounting, payroll,
and administration are allocated to benefiting departments. These costs are
typically not included in departmental budgets but provide necessary services
to departments. Cost principles used in the allocation of costs are similar to
those used in the private sector where proper cost accounting can be crucial to
product pricing.
The cost analysis results in the total and unit cost of on-sale liquor licenses as
diagramed in Figure 1. The full cost can then be compared to the revenues generated
at current fee levels. After this examination of cost and revenues, new fee levels can
be determined.
Complete cost and revenue detail can be found in Appendix A (under separate cover).
UNIT COSTS AND VOLUME
Unit costs are based on allocation of all costs to on-sale liquor licenses and include
both fixed and variable components. Further, the unit costs assume volume levels
remain constant. Increased volume will result in lower unit costs as the fixed cost
component of each service unit decreases. The inverse is true for volume decreases.
While the actual fixed cost component of any service cannot be immediately identified,
it needs to be considered when adjusting fees or services. Fee increases might result
in lower demand without any offsetting cost savings. Also, if a given service is
discontinued, the remaining services must absorb any fixed cost previously associated
with the discontinued service.

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Setting fees is essentially equivalent to establishing prices for services. In the private
sector, prices are usually set in a manner which is expected to maximize profits.
Making a profit is not an objective of the City in providing services. Therefore, it is
commonly felt that fees should be established at a level which will recover the cost
of providing each service -- no more, no less. There are circumstances, however, in
which it might be regarded as a reasonable policy to set fees at a level which does not
reflect the full cost of providing the service.
The elasticity of demand must also be considered. If demand for a service is elastic,
an increase in price could result in lower revenues. The inverse is true for inelastic
demand. Each situation needs to be evaluated to determine the impact of fee changes
on demand levels. Many City services are, by their nature, inelastic including licenses.

CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney provides legal services to City departments. One function of the
City Attorney is to keep the City Clerk and Police informed as to changes in laws
which might impact the issuance or enforcement of on-sale liquor licenses.
In the costing of the City Attorney, only those activities which pertain to interpretation
of on-sale liquor license laws were included. Costs related to prosecuting individuals
for crimes committed while under the influence of alcohol or prosecuting
alcohol-related driving violations were not included.
The annual cost of the City Attorney directly related to on-sale liquor licenses is
$1,393. This cost is considered a direct enforcement cost.
10
dmq
-
CITY CLERK
Every application for an on-sale liquor license must be filed through the City Clerk's
office. Staff involved in the issuing of the licenses include the City Clerk and a
secretary.
Staff were interviewed to determine on a per unit basis the time involved in processing
on-sale liquor license applications. Time involved in processing applications on a
computer, mailing renewal notices, sending reminders, checking paperwork, preparing
certificates, and obtaining Council approval were considered. General administration
and supervisory time has also been analyzed and allocated accordingly.
All of the City Clerk's costs are considered direct issuing costs. Costs incurred in
1993 totaled $1,591 or $106 per license application.

FIRE INSPECTIONS
The Fire Department is responsible for the prevention of fires through an inspection
program and enforcement of state and City fire codes. Every on-sale liquor
establishment is required to have an annual fire inspection. The purpose of the
inspection is to ensure that adequate access is maintained and that fire hazards are
not present.
The total cost of inspecting on-sale liquor establishments is $1,568. Since all on-sale
liquor establishments also have restaurant licenses, this cost is a prorated amount
between the two fees. This cost is considered a direct issuing cost.

POLICE
-e
I
I
I
I
I
The Police Department is involved in the direct enforcement of liquor laws and
alcohol-related crime. The City has established a policy of conducting daily
walk-throughs of licensed on-sale liquor establishments. Patrol officers of each shift
randomly perform a certain number of walk-throughs. The number of walk-throughs
may vary on a daily basis depending on other law enforcement activities; however,
132 per week is a reasonable average. The purpose of the walk-throughs is to
discourage violations of liquor laws through a police presence. In addition to the
walk-throughs, the night shift officers also perform closing checks to ensure that
on-sale liquor establishments close at required times. Six checks per night are
routinely performed. The total cost of the walk-throughs and closing checks is
$77,351.
The Department also spends approximately 161 hours per year responding to calls for
assistance at licensed on-sale liquor establishments where the incident is a direct
result to the sale of alcohol. This activity costs the Department $8,701.
~
.'
.Ii
The total direct enforcement cost incurred by the Department is $86,052 or $5,737
per license. This cost is considered conservative and only considers costs directly
related to the enforcement of liquor laws. Costs associated with other crime where
alcohol was a contributing factor were not considered.

DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS
THIS DECLARATION, made this 30th day of April,
1982, by J. BROOKS HAUSER and PEGGY A~~ HAUSER, husband and
wife (hereinafter called "Developer").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Developer is the owner of the real property
described in Exhibit A attached to this Declaration (hereinafter
called the "Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, Developer desires to subject the 'Subject Pro-
perty to the covenants and restrictions that are hereinafter
set forth, each and all of which is and are for the sole
benefit of the City of Stillwater, a municipal corporation
under the laws of the State of Minnesota, (hereinafter called
the "City").
NOW, THEREFORE, Developer declares that the Subject

and occupied subject to the covenants and restrictions here-
inafter set forth.
ARTICLE I.
That from and after this date, the Developer shall not
locate on the Subject Property any retail business nor cause
to be conducted on the Subject Property any retail business,
but shall limit and restrict the development of the Subject

NOTICE
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
SITUATION:
The Brooks Superette and the vacant lot between KinderCare and the Brooks
Superette, located at 6720 North Stillwater Boulevard, on the comer of Croixwood
Boulevard and County Road 5, has been purchased by Mr Monti Moreno. Mr Moreno
has petitioned the Stillwater City Council to have the restrictive covenants on the lot
removed so that he may develop the property.
Mr Moreno met with the neighbors from Croixwood on 13 September at the
Perkins Restaurant. He proposed to us his plans to develop the property. One of his
plans included a proposal to make a strip mall on the property that would house four to
six business establishments, possibly his Hair Salon, a Real Estate Office, a Garage Door
business, a Chiropractor, the existing Brooks Superette, or other similar businesses. If the
strip mall would not be acceptable then Mr Moreno told us he would leave the property as
it is with the Brooks Superette and build a Hair Salon on the vacant lot.
At the September City Council meeting Mr Moreno indicated to the Stillwater
City Council that he is proposing to build a Hair Salon on the property. He requested
they remove the existing restrictive covenants so that he may develop the property.
Several of the Croixwood neighbors were present that evening and requested the City
Council deny the request and to let the restrictive covenants stand. The City Council
voted on a motion to send the proposal to the Planning Commission for their
recommendation. On a 3 to 2 split vote with the Mayor breaking the tie, the City Council
referred the proposal to the Planning Commission. The issue is on the Planning
Commission agenda for their October 9 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The restrictive covenants that are currently in place on this piece of property were .
developed in the early 1980's when Mr Brooks Hauser (the owner of the property at the
time) wanted to develop the property for his Superette. The covenants are the result of
negotiations between the City of Stillwater, Mr Brooks Hauser, and the neighbors living
in Croixwood. These restrictive covenants currently prohibit the property from being
developed except for a non-retail type of establishment defined as a professional building,
such as a doctors office, dentist office, etc. They specifically prohibit retail
establishments and they do not include a Hair Salon.
The covenants on this piece of property are unique and were special compromises
between the neighbors, Mr Hauser and the city. Many of us still living in Croixwood
were involved in the development of the covenants. They were designed to be placed Qll
the property so that they would be a lasting requirement and prevent a new property
owner or a new City Council from arbitrarily developing the property.
-
A NEIGHBORHOOD POSITION:
Many of us that live along Hidden Valley Lane do not want to have the restrictive
covenants on this piece of property changed. We need the support of our neighbors in the
area. We offer the following justification for our position:
#1. We played a part in the design of the restrictive covenants and have since
invested in our homes and property based on these agreements. We believe the
development of this piece of property will cause our property values to drop. In our
opinion, Mr Morino obtained this property at a very cheap price because of the restrictive
covenants. Mr Morino speculated on this piece of property and stands to profit
handsomely from his speculation, if he can have these restrictions removed. He will
make this profit at the expense of the landowners who have lived in this location for close
to twenty years.
#2. The retail and commercial development along County Road 5 keeps creeping
to the east and encroaching upon our residential areas. There is still considerable land for
development south and west of the Tom Thumb, this is land zoned and developed for
commercial retail development. The retail development along County 5 needs to stop at
the new Strip Mall.
#3. The traffic congestion at Croixwood Boulevard is bad enough in the transition
from 4 lanes of traffic to 2 lanes without creating special traffic requirements generated
by new business entrances.
e
WE NEED YOUR HELP:
Please sign the petition which is being circulated and also attend the October 9
Planning Commission meeting which starts at 7:00 PM. We would like to pack the
meeting chambers at City Hall in order to show support for our neighborhood position.

COMMUNICA TIONS/REQUESTS
1. Monti Moreno - Request for removal of land use restrictions and covenants for vacant
property located between Kindercare and Brooks Superette on County Road 5.
Monti Moreno addressed Council and stated that he has changed his request, and rather
, than remove the covenants, he is requesting that he be allowed to use the parcel for a
beauty salon business, which he believes fits the intent of the covenants.
Leslie DeMars, 2307 Hidden Valley Lane, addressed Council and stated that she does not
believe a beauty salon meets the intent of the covenants.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Thole to refer to the
Planning Commission a request by Monti Moreno for removal of land use restrictions and
covenants for vacant property located between Kindercare and Brooks Superette on County Road
5. Ayes - 3; Nays - 2, Councilmembers Bealka and Zoller.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS (Continued)

A representative of the Kellison Company appeared regarding the request.
He said the additional signage on the building is needed to provide
visibility for traffic eastbound on Curve Crest. The requested signage will
be backlit, rather than facelit, he said; the requested signage has 36" high
lettering. He also noted a number of neighboring businesses have two
signs. The monument sign will be about half the allowable square footage
-- 9' x 6', including the rock base.
Mr. Russell suggested that 36" high lettering was rather large.
Mr. Wald, seconded by Mr. Valsvik, moved approval as conditioned. Mr.
Roetman suggested adding language that the building sign lettering be no
more than 30" high to the condition of approval. Mr. Wald and Mr. Valsvik
accepted that as an amendment to the motion -- that no additional signage
beyond the building sign with 30" high lettering and the pedestal
monument sign be allowed. Motion passed unanimously.
Case No. V/95-77 A variance to the front yard setback (30' required, 12'
requested) for the expansion and renovation of City Hall, 216 N. 4th Street
in the P A, Public Administration District. BWBR Architects, applicant.
Dick Olsen, Olsen Construction, and Dennis Vonasek, BWBR Architects,
appeared regarding the request. Mr. Vonasek briefly went through building
plans.
Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved approval; all in favor.
Case No. 377 A request from Monti A. Moreno to delete restrictive
covenants limiting the commercial use of a vacant site at 6720 N.
Stillwater Blvd. (County Road 5) between KinderCare and Brooks Superette.
Mr. and Mrs. Moreno appeared regarding the request to delete covenants to
enable him to construct a one-story building, with his hair salon as one of
the building uses. Mr. Moreno said he understood some property owners are
concerned. However, he said he thought the project would serve as a buffer
zone between County Road 5 and the residential area. He noted the
property was zoned commercial when the neighbors bought their homes.
Speaking in opposition to the proposal were: Janet and Charles Kenning,
2337 Hidden Valley Lane; Steve and Leslie DeMars, 2307 Hidden Valley
Lane; Tom and Beth Schwintek, 2327 Hidden Valley Lane; Peg and Leo
Lautele, 2317 Hidden Valley Lane; Mick Johnson, 2318 Hidden Valley Lane;
and Joni Morris, 2347 Hidden Valley Lane.
e
Concerns raised included: decreased property values; increased traffic
congestion and the existing problem with driveway access; the potential
for odors from the hair salon. It also was pointed out Mr. Moreno knew
there was a restrictive covenant on the property when he purchased it.
Neighbors also voiced a concern about the upkeep of Brooks and the early
morning garbage pickup.
Mrs. DeMars said the covenant was drawn up following discussions with
neighbors and City Attorney David Magnuson. The intent of the covenant is
to allow a single professional office building, she said, and she said the
allowable uses were carefully thought out. A hair salon was discussed
when the covenant was being developed and was not included as a use. Mr.
DeMars presented a petition with 79 signatures opposed to the project.
Mr. Moreno said he is not asking that the covenant be removed, rather that
a hair salon be added as an allowable use under the same kind of business
parameters allowed under the covenant. He also said there would be no
odors from the salon.
Mary and Frank Taylor, 327 Northland Ave., spoke in support of Mr. Moreno.
Mr. Elliott said he favored keeping to the letter of the covenant; a
covenant, he said, is an absolute promise. He later suggested he thought
the issue was a legal question and one the City Council should address.
Mr. Hamlin moved to support the covenant to the letter and that a hair
salon is not an allowable use under the covenant. Mr. Wald seconded the
motion. Mr. Zoller suggested splitting the motion into two separate
motions. Mr. Hamlin accepted that amendment.
The motion to retain the covenant as written passed unanimously. The
motion that a hair salon is not an allowable use under the covenant passed
6-2, with Mrs. Bealka and Mr. Valsvik voting no.
The Planning Commission's action will be forwarded to the City Council as
a recommendation.
Other business
Mr. Russell told members a joint workshop on the comprehensive plan will
be held with the City Council at 7 p.m. Oct. 24; that date was later changed e
to Oct. 25.

Absent:
Dorothy Foster
Others
Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Mr. Fontaine called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved approval of the minutes of
Sept. 11, 1995; all in favor.
Case No. SUP/95-50
Case No. SUP/95-55
Case No. SUP/95-58 These three cases were continued.
Case No. V/95-66 A variance to the. sideyard setback (5 required, 2
requested) for the construction of an 8' x 10' shed at 1010 N. Fourth St. in
the RB, Two Family Residential District. Billy J. Elliott, applicant.
Mr. Elliott and his mother, Adeline Dornfeld, appeared regarding the
request. The intent is to sheetrock the structure as conditioned. The
building will be used for storage of tools, yard equipment, etc. The shed
will be wood and painted to match the house.
Mrs. Bealka, seconded by Mr. Elliott, moved approval as conditioned. All in
favor.
Case No. V/95-73 A variance to the front yard setback (30 feet required,
21 requested) for construction of a garage addition at 920 Amundson Drive
in the RA, One Family Residential District. Ray Damis and Marilyn
Morehead, applicants.
e
The two applicants appeared regarding the request. Mr. Damis explained
there is no storage except for a downstairs area they would like to finish
as a family room; a storage area would be constructed under the garage
addition. Because of the unique shape of the lot, only a corner of the
garage addition would be outside setback requirements, he said. Most
.
neighbors already have 3-car garages, and he said he did not feel the
addition would adversely affect the neighborhood; no neighbors have e
objected to the proposal.
For discussion, Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mr. Zoller, moved approval as
conditioned.
Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Elliott spoke in favor of upholding setback
requirements) rather than granting a precedent-setting variance. Mr. Zoller
noted that most houses in Oak Glen have 3-car garages, and he said he felt
the requested addition would fit in with the neighborhood.
Motion of approval failed 6-2, with Mrs. Bealka and Mr. Zoller voting in the
affirmative.
Case No. V/95-74 A variance to the sideyard setback (30 feet required, 24'
4" requested) for the expansion of an existing garage at 421 W. Elm St. in
the RS) Two Family Residential District. Duane and Marylou Kendrick,
applicants.
Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick appeared regarding the request. Mrs. Kendrick showed
photos indicating the slopes of the yard which would prohibit expanding
the garage in a different direction. She also showed photos of the
intersection to indicate the addition would not impact visibility at the
intersection. She said her husband is handicapped, which makes it
difficult to park on the street.
Mr. Elliott noted the requested variance should be 6'- 4", rather than as
indicated on the agenda item.
Mr. Hamlin, seconded by Mr. Roetman, moved approval as conditioned.
Mr. Zoller noted that a one-car garage is inadequate for the applicants and
there is no other way to build an addition given the topography of the lot.
Mr. Valsvik also noted it doesn't appear the addition will affect the
intersection visibility, and there will still be room for a sidewalk if the
addition is constructed.
Motion for approval passed unanimously.
Case No. V/95-76 A variance for additional building signage for
Schoonover Body Works, 2000 Curve Crest Blvd. in the BP-I, Business Park

Dear Mr. Kimbel:
I am a property owner at 845 Amundson

of the variance request under consideration,
i.e. Case No. V/95-73, by the City Council.
The enhancement effect, to the immediate
property, as well as to the adjacent property

positive.
As a neighbor but not really knowing
these two people, I am very much impressed
with their concern for any and all of the

I would be very pleased with the Council's
Approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Steve Russell, Community Development Director f\-J
FROM:
DATE: November 3, 1995
SUBJECT: Request by developer to reconsider park dedication fee requirement for approved
20-unit multi-family housing project (Case SUP/95-60)
Back~round:
The 20-unit multi-family housing project was approved by the Planning Commission at their
meeting of 9-11-95. On 10-17-95 the City Council upheld the Planning Commission approval.
Since that approval the letter requesting reconsideration of the park fees was received.
The park dedication requirement based on the density of the project is $14,542. Attached is the
staff report from the Council meeting of 10-17-95 regarding this matter.
In the developer's letter, reasons are given for eliminating the fee.
Recommendation:
Decision on request.
Attachments:
Letter from developer, Lonnie Komovich, 10-19-95
Zoning use permit for Case DP/SUP/95-60
fr~VV' ~ ) ~r1vytvv1-
3. The city must implement some type of traffic control (preferably a stop light) on the .', I (J ;.." '1 s-
corner of West Orleans and Curve Crest Blvd. . e
Response: The traffic generating from this project and other developments in the area was
considered as part of the project review. The existing road system and traffic control devices can
accommodate the traffic generated from development of the site. Enclosed is traffic engineer
response to consider. '
4. No unit shall be used for exterior storage such as trash containers, bikes, camping
equipment, swimming pools, etc.
Response: Design Review Condition No.6 and Special Use Permit Conditions No.5 & 6
address this concern.
5. No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on upon the property, nor shall anything
be done thereon which may be or become any annoyance or nuisance to the
neighborhood.
Response: The general nuisance provision of the city code would apply to this project as it does
to other projects.
6. These covenants are to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and all person
claiming under them.
Response: The 25 conditions of approval are recorded on the deed to the property and run with
the land.
Council Requests
In addition to the appeal considerations, the zoning ordinance requires the council to make park
requirement determinations. The developer is required to provide on-site park space for the
development and pay a park dedication fee subject to council approval. A 6,000 square foot play
area has been located on the east end of the project site. Play equipment and courts will be
provided with the development. The primary users of this park area will be preschoolers up to
the age 8 or 9. Benson Park is located within one block of the site and will provide park space
for the older children.
The park dedication fee requirement for this site, based on a density of 10.5 DUlAC, is 10.5% of
the land value or $14,542. The applicant is requesting the city council consider reducing the
park fee based on other project costs (see enclosed letter of request).
It is recommended that based on on-site park improvements and landscaping and maintenance of
the excess city right of way land, the park dedication ~ be reduced by 50 percent to $7,271.
Other project costs described in Mr. Komovich's letter can be considered development costs
related to the use permit or design review and not related to park requirements.

Ate: Mr. Steve Russell,
This project as it is approveJ with the numerous conditions,
11 Financialy wil.l not workll, for a number of reasons. I requested a
waiver of the park dedication fee when I vas lead to believe it wai 77.
of the value of the land, not until the Oct. 17th meeting was I made
aware it was $ 14.542.00. I was not able to comment directly to the
comments by the council because the public hearing had closed and the
three items to be voted on were done so seperatly. Here are my reasons
for requesting ~ w~iver of the park dedication fee.
e
A) The privacy fence designed into this project was at the request of the
neighbors. They wanted it as high and as secure as possible. " We
do not want to have anything to do vith these kind of people" were the
comments I heard. I was asked to make it more attractive. I added the
masonry posts. There was consern about the townhouse residents killing
the trees on the north line and I agreed to place the fence 12' onto my
property. Then I was asked to trim the trees and clean up any debri and
give the 12' to the neighbors for their personal use. How often is this
a co~dition to projects in Stillwater ?
B) During the approval process of this project I was informed by my Civil
Engineer there is no storm sewer to this property. Mr. Feely was not
aware of storm sewer not being in the street with the rest of the
utilities. Why ~ould an engineer design a beautiful, oversized. heavy
duty, curb and guttered, landscaped and sidwalked street as West Orleans
and only stub a 3311 storm line 20' up West Orleans from Curve Crest.
This is not a normal cost of developing~ this is only a 1.8 acre site.
c) A part of this approval requires me to incorporate city property into
the project in an effort to lesson the impact of a storm pond required
in this area, which is fine. However, the fence was added in this area
for one reason only. To prevent traffic lights from shin, ,ing into the
homes in line ~th north bo~nd traffic on West O~lean$. This has nothing
to do with the project but I agreed to try and be a good neighbor.
D) I have committed to a play area. land which exceeds city code by 33% in area
and will place about $11,000.00 of equipment in this area.

I did have conver$ation with Mr. Russell one. time about ~l
the additional eX)lense.s and the possible use of tax inerement to
keep expenses in line. Mr. Russell didn't think thi$ was an option.
However, maybe the City Council could help by waiving the park fee
do to all the conditions placed on the project for approval.
At this ttme I am requesting to be placed on the next City
Council agenda to furture discuss this issue.

RE:
DOWNTOWN GROCERY STORE
Since SuperValu had indicated they are not interested in locating a grocery store on the Maple
Island site, staff requests permission to solicit other grocery store vendors for development on the
Maple Island City owned site. The terms of City involvement would be similar to the SuperValu
deal.
A grocery store is a desirable community serving downtown use and since the site remains
available, other grocery stores may be interested in downtown. A smaller store of20,000 square
feet would increase the parking ratio and possibly "fit" the downtown better. The downtown is
unique development opportunity and not the normal suburban grocery store site.
Recommendation:
Direct staff to seek out other grocery store retailers for a downtown location.

RE: UPDATE ON LAND ALONG MCKUSICK ROAD FOR A COMMUNITY PARK
In September, the council directed staff to negotiate purchase of privately owned land along
McKusick Road for a community park. Staff contacted property owners including Washington
County. Two owners Purdy and Houge indicated they are interested in selling their land to the
city. One owner Mr. Huntsman, is not interested in selling at his time and Mr. Larson did not
respond to the offer. Washington County is considering the city's request to obtain the county
land.
At this point, staff would like direction regarding purchase of the Purdy and Houge properties.
The properties are listed below:
Owner ~ Awraisal
1. Purdy 11.63 $ 75,000
2. Houge 6.7 68,000

Mr. Steven Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
216 North 4th St.
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Steve:
We appreciate the City's interest in purchasing our land along McKusick Road. While
we are interested in selling the land, we do not think it would be in our best interest to
sell it to anyone before the City has approved its Comprehensive Plan and made a
decision on our petition for annexation. While we think the land would make a good
park/recreation area, especially if the City's pedestrianlbike path is extended to County
15, we should advise you that we are seeking other uses/buyers for the land. We would
also like to point out two possible errors in the appraisal for your review.
First, on page 5, our land's zoning is given as 5 acre minimum. Unless the zoning has
changed recently, the township zoning is RA 2.5 acre minimum, south ofHwy. 96.
Please check with the Township or the County. The land had an approved building site
prior to the debris dumping. Second, on page 12, the appraiser gives his personal
opinion with no supporting facts that if the debris were usable as fill, he is sure"... the
contractor would have found a better use for it." The facts, as I understand and
endured them through litigation, are that the County condemned the land specifically
to store all debris from the road project, including old road bed material and other soils.
The contractors were not permitted to dump elsewhere, regardless of the quality of the
material for types of fill uses. While there is some lake bed "muck" in the material, its
amount has not, to my knowledge, been quantified in absolute terms or relative
percent. It is likely only a relatively small amount and also was dumped in a few
pockets when the lake was being excavated. Thus, the pockets should be easy to deal
with as they are encountered during removal.
e
Rather than a detriment, the material there now seems to be a potential asset because
the construction of the new bridge and Hwy. 36 will require enormous amounts offill,
exceeding what we have. We intend to offer all the stored material to the State as fill
for that project. The material's proximity to the bridge site and easy accessibility will
reduce its costs, making it highly desirable to the excavation contractors. Having
consulted with a knowledgeable civil engineering person about fill material, even the
muck (nutrient-laden fine silt) would be utilizable by mixing with clay soils and used as e
burro or top dressing for vegetative backslopes. The non-muck material could be used
for support fill. Based on reasonable estimates of the amount of material available and
prices for fill, the value of the material as fill would exceed the value of the appraisal.
Of course, after the fill has been removed to road level, the land would once again be
suitable for residential building, whose value would greatly exceed the appraisal's
present value. Thus, our best option is to hold the land for another year or two, when
the fill has been removed, and the annexation plans have been decided.
Personally, we think if the City decides to annex a large part of the lands westward,
the west end of our parcel might be a good place to locate the likely needed water
tower. It's relatively elevated there and wouldn't consume highly useful land. We also
think the City should do a financial analysis of constructing the new ice arena there as
an alternative to using the much more expensive commercial land along County 5.
Considering the future residential growth in the western area, it would be convenient
to a lot offamilies. The impact of the new elementary school at County Roads 12 and
15 should also be considered when determining land use north of County 12.
If you have any questions or comments about this letter or wish to discuss the
acquisition further, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
e~

The specific eligible costs for assistance and the amount of TIF generated from the project have
not yet been determined. At a previous meeting the Council authorized study of the stormwater
drainage situation on the site. The results from that study will provide project related cost
information.
Staff and the Heritage Preservation Commission is working with the developer and his architect
on the project plans. A copy of the preliminary site plan is attached. Once more specific plans
and eligible costs are developed, a specific assistance proposal can be developed. The proposal
will be developed using the City TIF guidelines and presented to the Council for review and
approval before a final development agreement is prepared.
Recommendation
Approval of project concept and direct staff to continue working with Territorial Coalition, Inc.
on a TIF assistance proposal.

PRE-APPLICATION
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ASSISTANCE
1.
See attached survey.
2.
The project consists of the utilization of the two buildings currently located at the
Territorial Prison Site. One building is approximately 18,000 square feet per floor
with three stories. That building will be mainly utilized for guest rooms in the
hoteL The other building is the old factory warehouse building which is one story
and approximately 23,000 square feet. It is currently anticipated that building will
be used for the pool area, conference center, restaurant and banquet facilities. A
small portion of the space between the buildings shall be constructed new for the
entrance, lobby and reception area of the hotelfconference center. See preliminary
site plan attached.
Although preliminary, the current schedule is that preliminary design shall be
complete with project costs completed by December 22, 1995, with closing on or
before March 3, 1996 and construction commencing immediately after closing with
a completion date prior to December 25, 1996.
3.
The existing comprehensive plan land use designation and zoning of the property
for the majority of the site is downtown business district. However, there appears
to be a portion of the property which underlies the Minnesota Department of
Transportation's right of way easement which may be designated as residential. It
is obvious from the site, that such a use will never be implemented at the site. As
a result, there may be some necessity to change the zoning depending on what is
done with the Minnesota Department of Transportation's right of way easement.
4.
City assistance is being requested to acquire the land; provide for the financing
and construction of public improvements, including water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer lines, roads and drainage; provide for site preparation, including grading,
soil correction, cliff dewatering, landscaping or drainage improvements, including
the repair of the prison wall; enhancing building design and site landscaping,
including parking lot. The total amount of tax increment assistance requested is
approximately $1,500,000.00.
Territorial Coalition has executed a Purchase Agreement to purchase the
Territorial Prison Site in downtown Stillwater from Maple Island, Inc. Although
desirable from a location perspective, the site presents many problems for
development into a hotelfconference center utilizing the historical perspective of the
site. Unless tax increment financing is used to fund major portions of the
improvements, the estimated preliminary cost of the development of the site into a
100 room hotel, restaurant and conference center exceed the amount of cash flow
which is estimated to be generated from the site based upon a feasibility study
which was completed on behalf of Territorial Coalition, Inc.
5.
It is estimated that the property valuation will increase from approximately
$400,000.00 to the cost of the project or greater. The current cost of the project is
estimated to be approximately 8.5 million dollars. There will be new jobs created
of approximately 140. Most of which will be full-time with a significant portion
being part-time. The other community assets for the site include public
interpretive areas relating to the historical significance of the site, general
beautifying an eyesore in the community and creating a cohesive plan for the use
of the site which compliments the historical area adjacent to the site and a
complete loop from the downtown business district to the north end of town,
including outside public areas.
-
6. The developer is a recently formed Minnesota corporation. Its two principals are
Michael Borum and John W. Lang. Mr. Borum has extensive experience in hotel
and resort property sales and marketing. He is currently head of sales and
marketing for a well-known downtown Minneapolis hotel. Mr. Lang is an attorney
and certified public accountant who has extensive experience in real estate
development, construction contracts and general real estate, having represented
general contractors, sub-contractors, municipalities and individuals in many
residential and commercial real estate developments.

Proje~atus and Addendum to Contract with Legislative Associates
Purpose: In the regular scheduled meeting on June 6, 1995, the Stillwater City Council
directed Ed Cain of Legislative Associates to work the appropriate Congressional
Committees, the National Guard Bureau of the Department of Defense, the Minnesota
National Guard, and others as deemed necessary, for the purpose of securing $2.695
million in federal funds for the new Stillwater National Guard Armory.

Guard in May, 1995. Initial contact was made with members of the Minnesota
Congressional Delegation by the Executive Director, Department of Military Affairs for

FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Plans and Quotes for Storm Sewer Repair at Malcolm Brown Residence
DISCUSSION
Malcolm Brown who lives at 1301 Hillcrest is suffering from an erosion problem brought about
by the city storm sewer. In the backyard of the Brown residence there is a discharge from the
storm sewer which has eroded about a four foot deep ravine in his backyard. This should be
repaired as soon as possible and the best time to do so is the winter. If plans are put together in
the next three weeks quotes could be obtained and construction could begin in December,
therefore, I recommend council authorize SEH to prepare plans and obtain quotes for a storm
sewer repair job at this address.

backyard of Mel Brown's house at the comer of 3rd Avenue South and Hillcrest.
As you may recall, you and I have reviewed this erosion problem a couple of times over the last
year.
we Glscussea a metnOO of construct1on and access Wlth the contractor's representative. it appears
the befit accesll WOWQ be from :ire Avenue Routh ~rrm;:'I thf> front yimi i'lnn Rlone thp north sirlp of

outlet which would release the water at a slower velocity. The area where the pipe is extended and
a manhole placed could then be filled level with Mr. Brown's yard area and a heavy riprap placed
at the outlet end to reduce the ero;,;ion which is occurring at present.
The conb:actor concurred that access on the north side of the house, as we had envisioned, would
probably be the best. He felt by trimming trees, he could get through with the excepti<?n of a small
pine by the sidewalk which would have to be removed. It appears we may have to also obtain
easement rights from Mr. Brown's neighbor to the north. The contractor further suggested that this
project be done in November 01" December after the ground is frozen and less damage would be
done to the yard area, and it would be easier for equipment and truck access. The contractor was
afraid this time of year, during a wet period, they would be stuck in the sodded areas.
I have not completed any design for this project yet. This project may lend itself to City engineer
design rather than SEH design. However, if you wish, we would be able to design the pipe system
for you.

I would also recommend that the City consider accomplishing this work in November or December
such that the contractor would request payment in January and thus, would fall within the new
budget.
I would further recommend that the work be conducted by a change order which could be added
onto the 1995 Street Improvements since this contractor was also involved in that project. If a
change order was prepared, the City would not have to go through the expense of receiving several
quotes. and engineering costs would be reduced because specs are already prepared. It would be
just a matter of preparing construction drawings such that the contractor could quote price and
order materials.
If you have any questions, please contact me, and I look forward to discussing this item with you.

FROM:
DATE:
November 7, 1995
RE:
Assessments on Territorial Prison Site
When the surveys were done for the sale of the Minnesota Territorial Prison Site it was discovered that
an overlapping legal description caused a double assessment for certain property in Local Improvement
257.
The mistake incurred because the entire prison site (that is roughly defined by the wall and the highway)
is covered in the description for parcel number 9028-0150. The assessments computed for Maple Island's
ownership included the entire site using this parcel number.
The State of Minnesota, however, had obtained an easement over part of the property for the Battle
Hallow Monument and the legal description for this easement was contained in parcel number 9028-0040.
Assessments were spread on this easement as if it were a parcel of land.
It is necessary at this time to correct this assessment roll for two reasons. First, because the property
covered by the easement is already included in the assessment for the ownership of the prison site and
also because it is not legally possible to assess the State of Minnesota for a local improvement unless their
consent is first obtained.
The total assessment for the easement property is eighty-one thousand six hundred ninety and 821100
Dollars ($81,690.82) and in addition to cancelling this assessment, it would be necessary for the staff to
prepare abatement requests for the amount certified to the County in prior years.

RE: Subdivision Code Update
Stillwater, Minnesota
SEH No. P-STILL9606.00
November 7, 1995
Mr. Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide professional services to update the subdivision code for
the City of Stillwater. We look forward to a continued, positive working relationship and to
providing a timely and professional planning guideline for the City.
.
The purpose of this project is to research, review, and recommend various text and format changes
that will make your current subdivision code more applicable to Stillwater's planning goals and
objectives. The recently completed Comprehensive Plan will greatly aid in this effort. The result of
the project will be a clear and concise document that is effective and easily understood. As
discussed, I have reviewed the existing subdivision code and have some specific ideas on document
organization, applicable referencing, and pertinent developer checklists.
Project Scope
As outlined in our proposal, services will consist of the following tasks:
Task 1 -
Task 2 -
Task 3 -
.
Task 4 -
SHORT ELLIOTT
HENDRICKSON INC,
Initial review of existing subdivision code and other planning documents (i.e.,
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Special Studies, New State Regulations, etc.)

Task 5 - Meeting No.2. Work session meeting with Stillwater Project Team to discuss
compiled list of subdivision code recommendations and changes. Receive additional
input.
Task 6 - Draft changes in text and format based on agreed upon recommendations and changes.
Task 7 - Complete update of subdivision code document (draft).
Task 8 - Meeting No.3. Work session meeting with Stillwater Project Team to present and
discuss subdivision code update (draft).
Task 9 - Formulate complete Subdivision Code document (final draft) based on discussion and
input from Task 8. Transmit to Planning Commission and City Council. Amend and/or
revise subdivision code (fmal draft) based on Planning Commission and City Council
review.
Task 10 - Attend public hearing (optional).
Method of Compensation
For the preparation of the subdivision code update, SEH will be paid on an hourly basis.
Compensation will be based on the hourly cost of personnel plus reimbursable expenses including
reproductions, mileage, and equipment utilization. Additional time spent in preparing for and
attending meetings other than those used in the Scope will be billed as additional services on an
hourly basis.
The estimated cost of the study and camera-ready final document and checklists suitable for
duplication is not-to-exceed total of$5,000. When 90 percent of the estimated budget has been spent,
SEH will stop work and discuss the status of the project with you. At that time, the basis for
completing the work will be determined.
City Responsibilities
The City of Stillwater will furnish SEH with information necessary to meet your requirements and
also make available all pertinent existing data listed below:
. COD;1prehensive Plan
. Current Zoning Ordinance, Map and map text
. Applicable City codes (including Washington County Model Subdivision Code)
. Miscellaneous pertinent planning studies and maps

Schedule
SEH will proceed with our services promptly after acceptance of this Letter Contract. Total
completion of all phases of the study (including final report) will be in an estimated one-month time
frame (concluding mid-December 1995).
If there are protracted delays for reasons beyond our control, we expect to negotiate with the City
of Stillwater an equitable adjustment of our compensation, taking into consideration the impact of
such delay, but not limited to, changes in price indices and pay scales applicable to the period when
services are, in fact, being rendered.
SEH Project Team
Randy Thoreson will serve as Project Manager/Senior Planner on the project. Responsibilities will
include research, communication (i.e., meetings), and specific subdivision code and checklists
formulation. Randy offers more than 20 years experience in both the Midwest and Mountain West
as Planning Director and/or consultant to many communities similar to Stillwater. Both Randy and
SEH's familiarity with the City of Stillwater is a definite advantage. It can also be noted that Randy
has prepared numerous subdivision code updates and also authored a state-wide subdivision
administrators manual while in Montana. Serving on the Mn/ AP A Legislative Committee is also of
benefit in researching and understanding Minnesota planning and subdivision laws.
Assisting Randy will be Roger Bromander. Roger recently joined SEH as a staff planner working
on local planning projects. He recently moved from Grand Marais/Cook County where he was a
City/County Planner for a number of years. He also worked with other communities in Minnesota.
Roger has specific knowledge on subdivision codes and development review processes.
Invoicing
SEH will invoice the City monthly for services and reimbursable expenses. The financial
arrangements are on the basis of prompt payment of our bills and the orderly and continuous
progress of the project through completion.
Modification and Termination
This proposal represents the entire understanding between SEH and the City of Stillwater in respect
to the project, and may only be modified in writing, signed by both parties. The City may also
terminate this agreement, in writing, at the completion of anyone of the tasks. This agreement may
also be terminated by either party upon seven days' written notice should the other party fail
substantially to perform in accordance with its term through no fault of the party initiating the
termination. In the event of termination, SEH shall be compensated for services performed to
termination date, including reimbursable expenses then due, and all terminal expenses.

Welcome to the fIrst edition of School Talk, the District 834 Key Communicator
Newsletter, a publication we hope will start a continuing dialogue between our
community and our public schools-let's talk.
Briefly, here's what a Key Communicator Network is and how it works. The school dis-
trict mails this newsletter to a list of selected "key communicators" who may use an enclosed
response card or call the Key Communicator Hotline to ask questions, voice opinions,
request infonnation, question rumors, etc. The next issue of the newsletter will address
questions and topics raised by key communicators' cards and calls. In other words, the con-
tent will be detennined largely by what "keys" have to say. School Talk is open to discussion
of all topics and points of view. Frequency of publication will depend on level of response.
School Talk also will provide information about current issues facing the district and
education in general-to create awareness and food for thought. We hope readers will talk
about this newsletter over coffee cups and card tables. Despite technology, the grapevine is
still the most traveled avenue of human communication. If you are reading this, please tell
others about what you've read, give away your copy, encourage friends to get involved.
That's why you're called "key communicators." You are the fIrst step in creating a net-
work of communication about your public schools-network being the '90s word for
grapevine.
The initial School Talk mailing list is about 350 names chosen to reach various segments of
the school district community. You are parents, students, non-parent citizens, business-
persons, members of boards of directors, realtors, area clergy, school district staff members,
local government officials, and local media. You represent different areas of our large and
geographically spread out district. You are opinion leaders in our community. You are voices
that otherwise might not be heard. In short, you represent the citizens of School District
834. As Key Communicators, you pledge to respond via card or hotline when you read
something here (or elsewhere) that moves you.
As indicated, you are the ("ust to receive this newsletter, but this is not a club with limited
membership. Anyone who is interested can have their name added to the mailing list.
Just call the hotline, leave your name and address, and you will receive the next School Talk.
Getting out is as easy as getting in: if you don't want to be a key communicator, just say so-
either by mailing in a response card or calling the hotline. Once a year, you will be asked to
return a special response card to indicate your willingness to stay on the mailing list; if you
don't return a card, your name will be removed.
Much of the writing for School Talk will be done by Karen Lampi, the district's communications
(continued on next page) ~
It is the mission of the Stillwater Area Schools to ensure high quality,
innovative, challenging education where all learners are valued and respected.

about your schools

something that you
would just like to verify
or fUJd out about, send
it along so an attempt
can be nuu:le to get at
the facts-lO ascertain
the truth of the story
and replace specula-
tion with Information.
...the rest of the seemingly endless introduction
continuedfrom thefrontpage
coordinator. Information will be gathered from the person or persons best qualified to respond to e
a question or comment, and, in some cases, they will write the response. In any case, the tone of
this publication will be informal. The hope is to start a conversation between you and your
schools.
Which brings us to the issue of anonymity. This newsletter will not require that you sign your
name unless you choose to do so. All responses received, via response cards and voice mail, will
be shared with the School Board and administration. Questions related to specific issues
involving a student or a parent experience with the schools will be referred to the person best
qualified to deal with them. If a specific incident raises a policy issue, the question will be
brought up for discussion in the key communicator network.
That's enough introduction. What follows is a collection of a few current issues, some informa-
tion updates, and other odds and ends that will serve to get us started. Next time, you will write
the table of contents.
School Board Election November 7
In response to new Minnesota legislation, the District 834 School Board election calendar is in
transition to November elections in odd-numbered years and four-year terms of service. nus
year, two Board positions are open; three positions will be filled in November, 1996; two
positions will be filled in November, 1997. Thereafter, School Board elections will be held in
November of odd-numbered years, with Jour directors up for election in one odd-numbered
year and three in the followin~ odd-numbered year.

On November 7, voters will elect two Board members from among the foUowlng six
candidates: · Mary Cecconi · Ann GiYen · David "Choc" JunJcer. INnnis McDermotl
. Melva Radtke (incumbent) · Chris Sievert. Lyman Geary has announced his decision to retire
at the end of this year after 34 years of service to the district as a member of the School DoiU'd.
These are JJ11l.C. representatives in JJ11l.C.public school system.
Don't/orgel 10 vote...and remind your neighbors to vote, too.
Is there a communications gap
between the public and the School Board?
During the current School Board election campaign, lack of communication between the
School Board and the public is an issue that has surfaced several times. Criticism has been
leveled at the Board for making decisions without sufficient public discussion of the issues.
Frustration has been expressed that it is difficult to make oneself heard at the Board level, and
that it doesn't much matter what you have to say because the Board comes to its public meetings
with its decisions already made-it's "a done deal" by the time it gets to a Board meeting.
Some avenues of communication that do exist are:
. Notice of School Board meetings is published in school and/or community calendars in
local papers and announced on the local radio station. Several local newspapers regularly cover
and report on Board meetings; the minutes are published in the district's legal newspaper. the
Stillwater Gazette.
. Board meetings are cablecast live on local access channel 12 and replayed at

10 a.m. the Saturday following a meeting. For other replay times, which may vary, call the Access
Center at 430-2921.
· The Board meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month and the public is always
encouraged to attend. Remember the old saying: the world is run by those who show up.
What do you think? The district would welcome suggestions for improving public
awareness of School Board meetings. Everyone benefits when citizens know about the issues
facing the district before they reach the point of School Board action.
Classroom discipline in today's litigious society
The district's Quality Education Committee recentIy conducted a series of focus groups with
students, parents, teachers and support staff to determine what issues exist with regard to the
district providing a "safe and caring learning environment." The study goes back to the district's
strategic plan, which led to the development of a mission and core values; one of the core values
is "The school district environment must be honest, respectful, caring and safe. "
One parent who participated in a focus group took time to pose a few questions in writing so the
following concerns could be addressed in the key communicator newsletter: "Respectful disci-
pline is an integral pari of maintaining a healthy learning environment. Given today s environ-
ment for lawsuits. how much are ieachers allowed to do to maintain discipline in their class-
rooms? How supportive are administrators and parents in enforcing discipline? Which is seen as
more important: discipline to keep classrooms safe and healthy or fear of reprisal. Le. lawsuits?"
The next School Talk will include a response to this parent's questions written by district staff;
key communicator comments would add to the discussion.

Should school district boundaries in Woodbury be changed?
Washington County Auditor-Treasurer Dick Staffor~ has formed a committee to consider issues
affecting district boundaries in Woodbury, where the borders of the Stillwater, South Washington,
and North St Paul-Oakdale-Maplewood districts come together, a circumstance which sometimes
causes strange situations such as next door neighbors attending schools in different districts.
The Ad Hoc Boundary Commission for Schools includes two representatives from the City of
Woodbury and two School Board members from each of the three school districts involved. Joan
Friant and Melva Radtke represent our district. The committee fIrst met October 9. The next
scheduled meeting will be Monday, November 6, 7 p.m. at the Woodbury City Hall. The
meeting is open to the public. Comments? Opinions? Reactions?
FYI: Site selected for the new elementary school
A 16-acre site in Stillwater Thwnship just east of the southeast comer of the intersection at
County Roads 12 and 15 has been selected as the location for the new elementary school made
possible by the passage of the bond issue last spring. After a nearly year-long search, the School
Board made the decision at its October 12 meeting.
Cost of the site is $20,000 per acre for 15 acres; the owner will add an additional acre at no cost
with the proviso that an existing wooded area be left intact. When site development and sewer
and water costs are added, total cost of this 16-acre site is $580,000.
A 600 plus-home development is projected for the area surroun~ng the pote~tial sc~ool site,. with
a four to six acre park to the immediate west. However, annexation by the CIty of Stillwater IS an
issue because of sewer and water connections.

It's ~een s~ld...
"In a perfect world there would
be no higher social purpose
than public education. Can
anyone doubt it? The education
of successive generations of
children is inarguably the only
purely essential form of social
welfare the country has ever
conceived. It is the presumptive
leveler of the playing field of
life: an equal start for every-
one, nothing less than democ-
racy itself. Public education is
the true national debt-the
one thing we owe irrevocably
to the future.
"And yet the world is not
perfect. Public education- by
virtue of being public-mirrors
our i:r:perfections. P!!blic
schools are microcosms of all
our successes and all our fail-
ures as a culture. "

Future discussions?
. Budget cuts. District 834, like most school districts, has been forced to cut ..
spending to maintain a balanced budget. State funding for schools has not increased
appreciably in five years while the cost of living and inflation have not stopped to .
wait for school revenues to keep pace; per student revenue from the state has
increased by less than two percent since 1991-92. The cuts now are affecting jobs
and programs--choices are getting worse and decisions are getting tougher. Constant
tension exists between the issues of raising class size and reducing programs and ser-
vices. It appears the Board will be faced with the problem of cutting again for
1996-97. Any opinions as the Board starts discussions on the 1996-97 budget?
e
. The Minnesota Graduation Rule. It's coming, like it or not. This year's eighth
graders-the Class of 2000-will have to pass certain standards to graduate from high
school. Would you like to know more about the proposed graduation requirements?
If you are already familiar with the new graduation rule, what do you think of it?
. Vouchers. Gov. Carlson is advocating a system of vouchers which parents could
use to help pay their children's tuition at private schools. It's his contention that this
would offer more choice and would make the public schools better because of
increased competition. How do you feel about it?
Thanks ...
A couple years ago a group of citizens and district staff members served on an ad hoc
committee to determine how to improve the district's communications program.
They wrote the following mission statement: "It is the mission of the District 834
communications department to maintain and encourage open lines of communica-
tion between the community cuuJ its schools. .. The Key Communicator Network. is
one of their recommendations. My thanks to the advisory committee members for
giving of their time, sharing their insights, and being a "key" factor in starting a KC
Network in District 834.

Metropolitan Council
Council activities in October:
Council approves agreement with Maple
Grove for more affordable housing
The Council approved an affordable housing
agreement with Maple Grove, calling for more
rental and low- to moderate-income ownership
opportunities. It's one of the first agreements
under the Livable Communities Act of 1995.
"The agreement represents aggressive goals for
affordable housing in Maple Grove over the next
15 years," said Council Chair Curt Johnson.
"They are goals we think are optimistic, yet
attainable. Given market realities, we recognize it
will take ingenuity on the part of city officials and
developers to make it happen."
Provisions in the housing agreement establish a
goal of between 630 and 756 more rental units of
affordable housing in Maple Grove by the year
2010. Currently, four percent of Maple Grove's
rental housing is considered affordable. Under the
agreement, the city will work to make 35 percent
of its new rental units affordable to households
earning up to $25,500 a year in 1995 dollars. In
addition, some of these units should be affordable
to households making $15,300 or less (30 percent
of the region's median income).
The city will also push to have 3,796 to 4,471
additional affordable homes built during the same
period of time. These homes will be valued at
$115,000 or less, affordable to families earning
$41,000 a year. For families earning less than
$41,000, some mechanisms are available through
financing organizations to make home ownership
a reality. For example, the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency (MHF A) just awarded $750,000
in first-time-buyer funds to Maple Grove.
Growing employment opportunities in developing
communities like Maple Grove, are spurring
demand for a variety of housing types; the
Metropolitan Council forecasts an additional
11,250 jobs in Maple Grove by the year 2010.
Many of those jobs, however, will pay
comparatively low wages. People employed in
those jobs who want to live in Maple Grove will
need more affordable housing options in the
community.
In addition, communities throughout the region,
including Maple Grove, are finding there is a need
for more housing that's affordable to young
families and retirees who already live, and want to
stay, in their community.
As part of the Livable Communities program,
Council staff is meeting with city officials
to discuss affordable housing agreements that fit
each community's housing situation.
Communities must decide by Nov. 15 whether to
participate in the voluntary program.
Participating communities are eligible for
incentives in the form of loans and grants for:
· affordable and life-cycle housing
. clean up of polluted lands for business
development and jobs,

Space capital improvement program:
· add $2.1 million to the Great River Road
development project by reducing other
projects
· finance certain projects with Council bonds.
The hearing is scheduled for Monday, November
27 at noon as part of the Community
Development Committee meeting.
. The Council approved the Elm Creek cluster-
planning progress report, with recommendations
to focus on the design and construction issues
associated with the first eight miles of the Elm
Creek sewer interceptor.
. Accepted the findings of a housing
redevelopment and rehabilitation study that
recommended:
· establishing a task force to develop cost
guidelines for investment in rehabilitation
projects
· streamlining building requirements for
rehabilitation projects
· developing a one-stop-review process for
project financing
· encouraging cities to take advantage of the
Livable Communities Act
· encouraging cities to foster competition for
proposals, desigti and construction;
. Approved the Scott County comprehensive plan
update and the connection to County Highway 18 .
.
· development that is creative, transit-oriented
and less-sprawled.
Communities choosing not to participate in the
housing program may not receive funds
established in the legislation, nor may they receive
state grants to clean up polluted sites.
lilt's a solid program that has the support of the
legislature as well as communities," said Johnson.
lilt may not solve every problem, but it's on the
right track. "
Agreement is Important Step Toward More
Efficient Transit System
Council officials say everyone comes out ahead as
a result of the contract agreement ratified by
transit workers. While workers will receive a three
percent pay increase, Council officials say they
achieved the flexibility they need to run a more
efficient bus system.
Regional Administrator Jim Solem says work will
begin immediately to develop ways to restructure
the work force and adjust driver schedules to
match them more closely with peak service hours
in the morning and afternoon, and eliminate
unproductive non~ving time.
(Note to readers: The Metro Digest sorts Council
actions into four areas, reflecting the four Council
standing committees: Community Development,
Transportation, Environment and Finance. It
should also be noted that full Council actions are
reported here, not Committee actions.)
