Conceptual Code MechanicaIlElectrical Preliminary Space Allocation Program - Revised Concept Review Conceptual Cost Estimate Questions and Answers Summary e e e f i MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director v DA: April 28, 1994 RE: REVIEW OF REQUEST FOR TIF ASSISTANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF RETAIL CENTER, DICK ZIMMERMAN Background: The city has received a request from Dick Zimmerman for TIF assistance to construct a 19,115 square foot commercial center. This development (PUD/94-4) was approved by the city council on 4-5-94. A portion of the development site is located in TIF District #3 Arkell (see map). The Erickson Post station is not and will not generate increment. The TIF policy states that 2-1/2 years of "pay as you go" increment can be made available for retail projects. In this case, the assistance would be for development on parcell 0650-2000. The amount of increment generated from the project would be based on the increase in value of the site as a result of the development from the current tax base. If "pay as you go" is provided for the project, the funds would have to be used for eligible TIF activities (i.e" land write down, site preparation, enhanced landscaping). Recommendation: Consideration and decision on TIF request. If assistance is provided, it should be "pay as you go" assistance for 2-1/2 years. Attachments February 23, 1994 To: Steve Russell, Community Development Director City of Stillwater Stillwater, Minnesota At this time I would like to submit my appliction to the City of Stillwater for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in conjunction with the PUD Development Project to be located at County Road 5 and West Orleans in the City of Stillwater, The proposed project would fall within the general guidelines and requirements as specified by the City for TIF.

Reduce special assessment and write down land costs. e FUNDING APPROACH The preferred method of providing assistance for private projects is the "pay as you go" approach and the loan approach. "Pay as you go" does not involve the issuance of bonds, and thus limits the City's financial exposure in these uncertain times of State enabling legislation. The loan approach involves the sale of tax increment bonds, and loaning the proceeds to the developer which, in turn comes back to the City with interest. The repayment funds would be placed in a development account to assist with future development. This lessens the bond risk because there are two income streams, tax increment and loan payments, that can be used to meet the bond obligation. Only in special unique situations where there is very significant benefit to the community, wi 11 "Up front" assi stance be considered. A combination of assistance techniques may be appropriate in some situations. \J . The following TIF allocation criteria will be used as a guideline: (1) .A- minimum of 50% of all new TIF proc~eds shall be used in the Downtown Redevelopment District to correct blighted conditions (2) New or expansion of basic industrial development may receive TIF assistance according to the Economic Development District requirements (maximum eight years of assistance) (3) Other commercial office retail or service business may receive two and one ~ half years of "pay as you goll assistance (50% of TIF proceeds for five years) for land write down or special assessment reductions. e PRINCIPLES USED TO REVIEW AND NEGOTIATE TIF DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS 1. To limit public financial assistance to a project to the minimum amount necessary and assure the successful accomplishment of the project. 2. To keep the payback period for tax increment bonds and loans to the shortest term possible. e 6 e e e MEMORANDUM TO: ~~ Mayor and City Council FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director RE: 1994 Payable TIF April 29, 1994 DATE: I received the TIF revenue projections from Washington County for the payable 1994 real estate taxes. The TIF revenue for all of the city's TIF districts (numbers one through five) has decreased from payable 1993 by over $100,000.00. The decline in the TIF revenue is due to reductions in values and changes in commercial/industrial tax rates for those properties. In conjunction with this I have also reviewed the projected bond payments and other pay-as- you-go tax increment commitments the City has. It appears that there will be sufficient revenue to cover these commitments with the decreased revenue in 1994. Although there will not be any excess TIF revenue to apply or use toward any new TIF projects. ~ t " e 3S35 VADNAIS CENTER DRivE. 200 S!;H a:NreR. ST. PAUL.

The asbestos abat"""",t IDOtIitoring and manageIDent was $30.000 as 1nc\ica1E<! in the letter from Alec Environmental Consultants. dalE<! May 12, 1993. At the onset of the project. we had considered including the asbestoS aha_t monitoring with the contractor's costs; therefore, the esfunated construction cost that was given to the Oty was $240.000 or $190.000 for the aba_I, monitoring and ~t, disposal of light ballast and mercury vapor Iatnps and an additional $50.000 for asbestos brick removal and the boile<s. After discuSSing the monitoring and management of the asbestos with both Mr. Russell and Mr. Dave Magnuson. City Attorney. it was determined that it would serve the Oty's best Interest to have the monitoring and management 01 the asbestOs removal under the control of the City rather than the contractor. Therefore, in the ~ schedule. the construction amount for the asbestos abatement or removal is shoWn as $210.000. and $30.000 is included in the engineering cost. bringing the total amount of the asbeStos abatement proposal to $38,815 or an UI1<ieaun in engineering cost of $3.114.06. The pre\in'IinaIY planning segment is an overrun in engineering of $1,212 because of additional meetings requiring attendancedurinf; the prefuninarY design- />Jso changes in design requirements from rough drawings and.esfunates- As pointed out in the letter. we roughly esfunated the plans and specifications on the parking lot cost of $340.000 at a 9.30/0 fee in accordance with our existing contract; however. since the parking lot bid was actually $476.756. the fee was reduced to 7.20/0. The portion of the plans that were allocated to final plans of the originally estimated $31.000 fee was $24,920. WiIh the difference in the construction cost and SO forth. the final plans overran by $2.561-14. The landscape portion of the project overran by $1.'722-50 because .of additional requirements in tksign- We also did not include the electrical engineering for the final plaIlS at $3.010 which is also shown as an overrun. e . The construction services are still estimated since the surfacing. landscaping and lighting of the project have not been completed as yet and Is not scheduled for completion until the 1st of June. 1994.

However. we have e , .. . . .. .~ .- ..-..'" ~ { Ms. Diane DeMon December 16, 1993 Page 3 e added $500 for electrical engineering which was not in the original estimate. The total net on engineering, if the estimated construction services s:emain as shown above, is an overrun of $5,89158. Howevet, the consttucti.on costs incurred to date have undemm by $193,000. As of this date, the building demolition cost and the asbestos abatement cost are final; however, the parking lot again is not scheduled to be completed until June of 1994. We feel the project was designed, to meet the City's needs by partnering with City staff and residents in the area, and that we have been able to reduce the construction cost considerably from. the otiginal esUtl\3.tE'5 by means of partnering and diligent design. We, therefore, ask for consideration for the $5,891 overrun in engineering costs from the City. If you have any questions, please call me. Sincerely, Short ElUott HendricksOn Inc. e Richard E.

City Engineer City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Klayton: As you requested, we are writing this letter to provide you with information regarding the salvage of the boiler doors from the boiler building on the above referenced project. e The contract was awarded to J & 0 Enterprises on July 26, 1993, began in September of 1993 and was completed on December 10, 1993. The specifications Section 02060, Building Demolition, Part ill, 3.02, Salvage Materials, requires the contractor to remove carefully to avoid damages, turnover to t~e owner materials indicated for salvage and the other items are to become the contractor's property. Second section delineating the schedule for salvage materials indicates items to be salvaged for delivery to the owner's site were the a. building cornerstone, b. coat of arms above east and west entrances and c. decorative steel doors on existing boilers (2). Sometime in early December, I reviewed the two boiler doors which were stacked on the old bituminous parking lot in the lower section and determined that they had been salvaged satisfactorily and stored on said bituminous parking lot. At that time, the contractor was still hauling in the sand fill and dozing material around on the demolition site. e Apparently, when the City picked up the boiler doors, they had been pushed up on the bank and appea1"ed to be badly cracked. City public work crews said they had to chain the doors together to lift them carefully with the loader into the truck to haul them up to the public works garage. When McC1"Ossan (subcontractor for Tower Asphalt on the parking lot construction) picked up the doors to sandblast them in preparation for painting to attach to the retraining wall, they discovered that they were badly cracked and needed welding. We sent a letter dated March 23, 1994 to J &t D Enterprises informing them that Mc:Crossan would require $2,500 to weld the' steel doors for preparation for placement on the wall. Subsequently, we received a letter in return from J & D Enterprises dated April 7, 1994 stating that they did not feel that they had damaged the doors, SHORT EWOTT HENDRICKSON INC, MINNEAPOLIS. MN sr CLOUD. MN CHIPPEWA FALLS. WI MADISON. WI ~ Ml:'. Klayton Eckles, P.E. April 26, 1994 Page 2 ~) (f' e After receiving the letter, I had a telephone conversation with 1 &. D Enterprises in Duluth. They stated that they had a subcontractor dozing the fill material onto the demolition site, and it appears that it is possible that he pushed the doors up on the bank on the lower level with the dozer and damaged them at that time. Some of this conjecture is on our part;' however, the evidence seems to substantiate the possibility J &. D damaged the doors before the City removed .... them"frot\"l...the site to. safekeeping at the public works garage. . -- -- --'---~~',,:,,'. Therefore, we are recommending that the City withhold $2,500 for rehabilitation of the boiler doors from J &. D's final payment application which you will receive under separate cover.

SUBMITTED BY: a~~~ DATE: ;y'- ;J~- 5? Y e e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Stu Glaser, Civil Defense Director RE: Area Warning Systems DATE: April 28, 1994 Since my appointment as Civil Defense Director, I have been reviewing the placement and operation of the sirens used for severe weather and for natural disaster. At present, there are three (3) sirens that are not operating. One siren located at Lily lake Elementary did not work last Tuesday when the sirens were activated for the Tornado Warning. This siren was working when tested on Wednesday, April 6th. However, the circuitry of the siren was apparently affected by a lightening strike after April 6 (note: the sirens are tested on the 1st Wednesday of each month). Two other sirens, one at William and Aspen St. and one at 4th and Poplar Streets have apparently been disconnected from the activation system since August 1993 (not sure why). However, these sirens will be repaired and should be operable by this weekend as will be the siren at Lily Lake. In regards to the sirens at William/ Aspen and 4th/Poplar, I will be coming to the meeting of May 17th with a proposal to replace these sirens with a new siren located on Moore Street, which is adjacent to the Stillwater Country Club. This new siren (which will cost about $13,000) will provide the same coverage as the two sirens now do and will obviously be more reliable. I will provide you with a map showing siren coverage and more information on the new siren at the meeting on the 17th. ~ / Stu Glaser Civil Defense Director . e e e , STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL MINUTES April 19, 1994 40~ The meeting was called to order by Mayor Hooley. :I-1'1q Present: Councilmembers Bodlovick, Cummings, Funk~~le, and Mayor Hooley <t) ',P() 1(, r'r -., # .'A .....;.....

On-site ponding has been added to meet the city's requirement that the 2-year, 10-year and lOO-year storm water runoff rates from the site do not exceed the predevelopment rates. House pad elevations have been added to show how drainage will be handled after houses are constructed. The cul-de-sac has been designed with an eight percent grade to match as closely as possible the existing grades. A 40 foot vertical curve is at the intersection with Boutwell Road. This will provide a landing area of 20 feet, beginning at the existing pavement, with an average grade of 1.65 percent. If the landing is considered to start ten feet back from the existing pavement, an average grade of 3.75 percent will exist. This should provide an adequate landing area for vehicles to walt before turning. Enclosed are 10 full size prints and five reductions of the Preliminary Grading Plan along with calculations related to the ponding and street geometry. If you have any further questions please give me a call at 533-7595. Sincerely, 1-1ERILA & ASSOCIATES, INC.

At that meeting, the council referred it to the parks and recreation commission and planning commission for comment. Comments: The planning commission reviewed the items at their meeting of April 11, 1994, and felt that the land was appropriate for a open space natural area park with trails but not for a typical neighborhood park with play areas. They also felt some development of the site, one lot adjacent to Green Twig Way, may be consistent with the natural area park use. (The minutes of CPC of 4-11-94 meeting are attached,) The parks and recreation commission reviewed the petition at their meeting of April 25, 1994 and reaffirmed their interest in the land being maintained in a condition consistent with their plans for a walkway around McKusick Lake. (Minutes of January 24, 1994, are attached.) Recommendation: No action required, The parks and recreation commission and planning commission felt the site was consistent with a open space parks use, t"" Stillwater Planning Commission Minutes April 11, 1994 e Chestnut Street in the CBD, Central Business District. Deborah Walsh presented the application. There is one condition of approval which the applicant agrees to, Motion by Glenna Bealka, seconded by Dorothy Foster to approve the special use permit with one condition. Carried 5-0. OTHER BUSINESS Discussion of request for acquiring parkland - The Commission discussed a petition from Green Twig Way property owners asking the City to purchase property for park/open space, The subdivision of the property was recently requested and denied. Following discussion, the Commission agreed that one home on the property would be acceptable. Mr. Russell stated that this would reduce the cost to the City and still preserve the sensitive part of the site. The property owner would not need approval for only one house. The park fees from the two subdivisions which were approved at this meeting could be used to purchase the property. Motion by Don Valsvik, seconded by Kirk Roetman to recommend to the City Council that a portion or all of the property be purchase for open space, with development of only one lot, with park dedication funds to be used for the purchase. Carried 5-0. Consideration of request for a regulation to protect views and vistas. John Kraemer presented a request to amend the building code to allow for protection of views and _ vistas, The Commission discussed this request and determined that it would be difficult to define - a view, and also difficult to determine who owns a view. The Commission will keep the request in mind as it updates the Comprehensive Plan, ADJOURNMENT Motion by Don Valsvik, seconded by Glenna Bealka to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Carried. The next Comprehensive Plan Update meeting will be held on Monday, May 2, 1994.

PLANNING CASE Steve Russell discussed with the Board a request to subdivide one lot on Green Twig Way into three lots. It is being brought before the Board because it will affect the potential walkway, and increase density in a natural area. The case will also be reviewed by the Planning Commission, and a final decision will be made by ~ the City Council. Motion by Al Liehr, seconded by Del Peterson to recommend denial of the request to subdivide one lot into three lots, in the interest of long-term beautification of the area and the planned walkway on McKusick Lake. All in favor. 2 e NEW BUSINESS- - .'~.;~~j: :.~?~;:"~:' Mike polehna updated the Board on the new ice arena task force.

During the planning process for the park's development, it seemed appropriate that the park be named after the Benson family whose farm was once on the site. . eWe will talk with the Benson family to see if they would approve the name of the park. Staff Recommendation: Officially adopt the name "Benson Park" for the 5,2 acre park in the Highlands of Stillwater development. Ie e e e "" \ MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director rv DA: April 28, 1994 RE: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALTERNATIVES FOR PHASE II STUDY At the city council/planning commission workshops of March 7th, direction was given for the development ofthree growth alternatives for the City of Stillwater as listed below: 1. Complete expansion and development of city planning area as required to accommodate forecast growth. II, Partial expansion of city boundary to those areas where vacant developable lands are located, III, No growth alternative - expansion of city boUndary for commercial/industrial development only (along Highway 36) but no major residential expansion. Councilman Kimble indicated at a recent comprehensive plan update meeting that he thought another growth alternative that reflected no growth of city boundary was being considered. It is suggested that if the council would like this no growth alternative to be a part of phase II update, it be added at this time. This would give the council information of the impact of no growth on the city. Recommendation: Direction on no growth alternative Attachment: Council memo for workshop of 3-7-94 e e e .. '.' illwater ~ - - ~ T H ;;-1 R T H ~ N N E SOT A-\ ~ MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor, City Council, and Planning Commission Members Steve Russell, City Development Director ~ FROM: DATE: March 4, 1994 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Revision Update and Discussion of Phase II Plan Preparation Bacbrround Since Fall '93, the Planning Commission and other effected City Committees and Commissions have been working with City Staff, coordinated by the Planning Department, on Phase I of the Comprehensive Plan update, The enclosed report, Comprehensive Plan Update Report. Phase I is the product of fIrst phase work. The report lists and describes 10 key issues facing the City over the planning period. The key issues are listed below:, Issue 1: Issue 2: Issue 3: Issue 4: Issue 5: Issue 6: Issue 7: Issue 8: Issue 9: Issue 10: Gro~th and preservation of small town character Preservation of open space and natural resources Preservation of historic and cultural resources and community character Traffic congestion Economic development Parks and recreation facilities Range of housing opportunities Condition of city streets, sidewalks and other public facilities Coordinate new development with provision of public facilities Cost of new development to city taxpayers For each issue area, goals and actions are provided to guide future development. On January 31, 1994, the Planning Commission held a public meeting to discuss the Phase I report. Approximately 75 people attended the meeting, Most of the people in attendance live in Stillwater Township, just west of the City limits, in the Comprehension Plan planning area. Attached to this report is a listing of comments received at that public meeting, minutes of the meeting and a map showing where the meeting attendees live. 1be second phase of Comprehensive Plan update is now undenvay. 'The task for Phase II is to develop alternative future plans for the Stillwater planning area and to analyze the impacts of each alternative. Areas of impact that will be considered include traffic, open space/natural resources, fair share growth, economic, fiscal, and public tacilities. A description of the Phase II update process is attached to this report, CITY HAll: 216 NORTH FOURTH STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612.439.6121 The City planning area outside the City contains 600 - 700 acres of vacant land that if annexed, could accommodate future City growth. These vacant lands along with vacant land within the existing City will be considered in developing the future land use plan alternative during Phase II plan preparation, e from the comments received at the January 31 public meeting, it was suggested that a no growth alternative be considered. This alternative would freeze the City boundary with minor exceptions and limit growth to the infill of existing City vacant land. Three land use alternatives as listed below are proposed for Phase II Study, I. Complete expansion and development of City planning area as required to accommodate forecast gro\\ih, II. Partial expansion of City boundary to those areas where vacant developable lands are located. III. No Gro\vth Alternative - expansion of City boundary for commercial/industrial development only (along H\vy 36), but no major residential expansion, The City Council and Planning Commission should review the plan alternatives regarding the growih issues to make sure they represent the reasonable City growih options. e Recommendations Re\iew and comment on Phase I Report, meeting results and comments, and Phase II alternatives. e , >~~/t>2 (5 f~ '1,J;17/l1'v./vnw/#/J) (17 I>)}/ r../hlJ7l// ~(/ (f ~ r"c//~ vItLf? ~ /1 fJ?

It is suggested that the Council consider having a report prepared detailing the benefits to city residents of such a tax. To this end, it is recommended that the Council appoint a member to work with the city staffto develop a report outline describing the projects that could result from funds generated from the tax. Recommendation Appoint council member to work with staff on preparing an outline and method of preparing 1 percent tax project report. -- - MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer RE: Update on Environmental Studies DATE: May 2, 1994 In the Council packet I included a memo in which I recommended Council award a contract to Atec Environmental Consulting Services for work at 203 N. Main Street. After further review of the proposals and after further consultations with the PCA, I recommend we award the consulting service work to Concept Environmental Services Incorporated. The reasoning for this change is that the Concept Environmental Services proposal does include all the work necessary to complete the study of the site. During my earlier investigations of the bid forms, it appeared that Concept Environmental Services had not included all the necessary work. Analyzing their bid form now, it is apparent that based on their proposal Concept Environmental Services could complete all of the necessary consulting and contractor services work for $7,686.00. The Atec bid for the same work was $12,800.00. e Concept Environmental has done work for the City in the past. They did the asbestos removal studies on the Jr. High demolition project. Given that this is not a complicated study as environmental services go, I recommend we award this particular environmental study to Concept Environmental Services for an amount not exceed $7,686.00. Another environmental study that we are currently addressing is the study of the North Third Street dumping site. This particular environmental problem as more complicated due to the nature of the contaminants, which are municipal waste such as refrigerators, tires, and other unknown substances mixed with concrete and soil. The location of this dumping site is also difficult, because it is located along the bluff line in an old ravine that has been filled in. SEH, MSA, and Atec presented proposals for this project. SEH bid $4,500.00 to perform a Phase II investigation based on using geo-probe analysis. MSA presented a proposal estimated at $6,480.00, which included drilling, soil borings, and taking soil samples. Atec had the highest Phase II environmental assessment at $11,811.00. The Atec method was based on taking trench samples by use of a backhoe. e In this case, although the Atec method is the most expensive method proposed, I recommend Atec be selected for this operation. Atec produced the most thorough investigation in preparing their proposal and from discussions with the PCA, their method appears to be the most probable to succeed. Also, one advantage of their method would be that any contamination that is encountered as part of their testing would be removed. -- e e Given the complexity of this environmental issue, it is my oplmon that the Atec proposal has the best chance of succeeding without additional cost overruns and may address most or all of the contamination at the time of the testing. Therefore, I would recommend that Atec be chosen as the consultant to provide the environmental services for the North Third dump site at cost not to exceed $11,811. 00. e e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer RE: Selection of Consultants for Environmental Studies DATE: April 29, 1994 The parking lot a 203 - 205 N. Main is a site of potential petroleum contamination from the old Kilty gas station. This problem was discovered when SEH was doing studies for the 76 gas station. SEH discovered a high level of petroleum products below ground on the parking lot at 203 N. Main. I received proposals for consulting services from four different consultants. Since this project will be eligible for petro fund reimbursement, the petro fund bid forms were used to obtain bids. Due to the complicated nature of the petro fund bid form, interpreting the bids is somewhat difficult. There are two basic parts to the bid form, one for consultant services, and one for contractor services. The consultant services are for the engineering, while the contractor services are for the drilling and lab work. I obtained quotes from Atec Engineering Consulting Services, Myers Stuart and Associates, SEH, and Concept Environmental Services. The bids received were as follows: FIRM NAME PHASE II BID AMOUNT Atec MSA SEH Concept Environmental $3,005.00 $5,520.00 $5,265.00 $3,760.00 It can be seen that Atec is the low bidder for the Phase II consultant work. In addition to bidding on the Phase II work, Atec also provided an estimate for work that they anticipate the PCA will require. They also provided a bid for the contractor work which would include the lab work and the drilling. The total Atec bid is for an amount not to exceed $12,800.00. Atec has done a number of environmental studies throughout the City. The reports they have done have consistently been of high quality. Also, their proposal is up front, so I do not anticipate any hidden costs due to additional peA regulation. I recommend Council award the subsurface remedial investigation of 203 N. Main Street to Atec Environmental Consulting Services for an amount not to exceed $12,800.00. .. .. e Recommendations For City of Stillwater, Minnesota $1,485,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1994B $4,800,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994C $170,000 General Obligation Capital Outlay Bonds, Series 19940 e It Study No. S0784P3Q3R3 SPRINGSTED Incorporated April 27, 1994 SPRINGSTED PUBLIC FINANCE ADVISORS 120 South Sixth Street Suite 2507 Minneapolis, MN 55402-1800 (612) 333.9177 Fax: (612) 349-5230 e Home Office 85 East Seventh Place Suite 100 Saint Paul, MN 55101-2143 (612) 223.3000 Fax: (612) 223-3002 16655 West Bluemound Road Suite 290 Brookfield, WI 53005-5935 (414) 782'8222 Fax: (414) 782.2904 6800 College Boulevard Suite 600 Overland Park, KS 66211.1533 (913) 345-8062 Fax: (913) 345.1770 April 27, 1994 1800 K Street NW Suite 831 Washington, DC 20006-2200 (202) 466-3344 Fax: (202) 223-1362 Mayor Charles M, Hooley Honorable City Council Mr. Nile Kriesel, Coordinator Ms. Diane Deblon, Finance Director Stillwater City Hall 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082-4898 e Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of: $1,485,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1994B $4,800,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994C $170,000 General Obligation Capital Outlay Bonds, Series 1994D We respectfully request your consideration of our recommendations for the issuance of the above-named issues, We will address each of these issues separately and then those items common to all three will be discussed at the end of the recommendations, e $1,485,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1994B The Improvement Bonds are being issued pursuant to the City Charter and Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475. Proceeds of the Improvement Bonds will finance seven improvement projects in the City. Attached as Appendix I is a ,listing of the projects and the amount of assessments to be filed against benefited properties for each project. A tax levy is also expected to support a portion of four of the projects. We understand MSA funds on hand, totaling $226,307, will be used to reduce the bonding for the Mulberry Street Project (L.1. 300), water utility funds totaling $11,680 will be used to reduce the bonding for the Sherburne Street Project, and an additional $38,258 of excess MSA funds on hand will be applied to further reduce the total size of this issue, The assessments, which are expected to be filed on or about November 15, 1994, will be spread in even annual principal installments with interest on the unpaid balance charged at a rate of approximately 1.5% above the rate received on the bonds. The Southeast Sewer Project assessments will be spread over 15 years, and the assessments for all of the other projects will be spread over a 10-year term, Attached as Appendix II is a schedule of the .. , e e It City of Stillwater, Minnesota April 27, 1994 projected assessment income based on these assumptions, The projected income stream does not take into consideration any delinquencies or prepayments, Attached as Appendix III is the recommended maturity schedule for the Improvement Bonds. The assessment income generated in Appendix II is shown in Column 8 of Appendix III. The Southeast Sewer Project special assessment income shown in the final five years of the program would only allow for a trailer of $30,000 to $40,000 of bond principal maturing in the years 2006 through 2010, We are recommending that those small principal payments be added to the 2005 maturity, shortening the length of the issue. This larger payment can be made from prepayments or it can be refinanced prior to the maturity date, We have provided for a call feature on this issue which allows the City to prepay the 2004 and 2005 maturities as early as February 1, 2003, and any date thereafter, at par, The portion of the issue being supported by tax levies is expected to require annual levies averaging approximately $57,000, as shown in Column 9. Based on the City's current net tax capacity, the average tax levy is equivalent to a tax capacity rate of approximately 0:742%. Appendix VI, attached, provides a sampling of the tax impact for this levy on various residential, commercial/industrial and apartment properties, To the extent other funds (such as assessment prepayments or proceeds of a refinancing) are available, the tax levy indicated in the final year of this program will be reduced or eliminated. $4,800,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1994C The Tax Increment Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 469 and 475, and the City Charter, Proceeds of this issue will be used to finance public improvements within Tax Increment Financing District No, 4, relating to the Marketplace development for Target and Cub Foods. The City has entered into assessment agreements with the County and the developers that the improvements will have a minimum value of $7,890,600 ($4,331,310 for the Target portion and $3,559,290 for the Cub Foods portion), Based on current tax rates and assessment rates, this is expected to produce annual tax increment income of approximately $462,656 beginning with collections in 1996, which will be adequate to support $4,8 million of Tax Increment Bonds, The composition of this issue is as follows: , Project Costs Capitalized Interest (through 2-1-96) Allowance for Discount Bidding Costs of Issuance $4,267,184 443,960 57,600 35,340 $4,804,084 (4.084 ) $4,800.000 Subtotal Less: Estimated Investment Earnings Total Tax Increment Bonds This project is in a redevelopment district which was formed on December 6, 1986 and has a 25-year life from the time the first increment was received. The County has verified that the first increment was levied in 1987 and collected in 1988, so the final year of increment collection will be in 2012 (levy year 2011). Appendix IV is the recommended repayment schedule for this issue, with the final maturity on February 1, 2013, corresponding to the final receipt of increment from the district. Page 2 . City of Stillwater, Minnesota April 27, 1994 e The issue has been structured to provide for even annual debt service payments which are expected to average approximately $459,420 (Column 8). The mandatory 5% overlevy (Column 9) results in a small tax levy requirement as shown in Column 11. However, to the extent the City has, additional revenues on hand sufficient to meet the 105% requirement, an overlevy will not be required. The development will be fully valued as of January 2, 1995, so the first receipt of increment will be in 1996, Capitalized interest in the amount of $443,960 has been included in the issue to cover the interest payments due through February 1, 1996, Thereafter, each levy of tax increment will be in an amount sufficient to cover the August 1 semiannual interest payment due in the collection year and the subsequent February 1 principal and interest payment. We recommend the Tax Increment Bonds maturing in the years 2004 through 2013 be callable as early as February 1, 2003, and any date thereafter, at a price of par. This will give the City the flexibility to refinance the issue in the future if circumstances so warrant. $170,000 General Obligation Capital Outlay Bonds, Series 19940 These bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475 and the City Charter, Proceeds will be used to finance capital outlay purchases for various City departments, The composition of the issue is as follows: Total Capital Outlay Bonds $455,749 12,250 86,680 5,000 $559,679 (399.679) $160,000 2,550 10,300 (2,850) $170,000 e General Fund Library Park Lily Lake Total Capital Outlay Less: City Funds On Hand Net Capital Outlay Costs Allowance for Discount Bidding Costs of Issuance Less: Estimated Investment Earnings It Attached as Appendix V is the recommended maturity schedule for this issue, The issue has been structured to provide for even annual payments over a 10-year term. The average annual debt service requirement is estimated to be approximately $24,229, including the statutorily required 5% overlevy. Based on the City's current net tax capacity, the average levy is equivalent to a tax capacity rate of approximately 0,316%, Appendix VI includes a sampling of the estimated annual tax impact for this issue on various residential, commercial/industrial and apartment properties. The first levy for this issue will be made in 1994, payable in 1995, and will be in an amount sufficient to cover the first interest payment, due February 1, 1995, as well as the August 1, 1995 interest payment and the February 1, 1996 principal and interest payment. Since first-half collections of this levy will not be received until after the February 1, 1995 interest payment, the City can use other available City funds to make the payment and then reimburse those funds after receipt of the tax collections. Thereafter, each levy will be in an amount sufficient to cover the August 1 semiannual interest payment due in the collection year and the subsequent February 1 principal and interest payment. Page 3 e City of Stillwater, Minnesota April 27, 1994 Due to the short maturity schedule for this issue, we recommend that the Capital Outlay Bonds be noncallable. A short call feature would hinder the marketability of the issue, Common to AlIls$ues Credit Ratings We recommend an application be made to Moody's Investors Service for credit ratings on these issues. We will provide Moody's with the information needed to conduct their analysis, The rating fees have been pro-rated in the costs of issuance for each issue. Federal Arbitrage/Rebate These issues are subject to federal arbitrage regulations. Generally speaking, all arbitrage profits (the yield difference between the earnings on the investment of proceeds and the yield on the obligations) must be rebated to the U.S, Treasury. There are some exemptions to the rebate requirement, which include: (i) A small issuer exemption if the obligations are for governmental purposes and the issuer reasonably expects to issue not more than $5,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations during the calendar year, (ii) A 6-month exemption if all of the proceeds are expended within 6 months of issuance. e (iii) An 18-month expenditure test if at least 15% of proceeds are expended within 6 months, 60% within 12 months and 100% within 18 months. (iv) A 2-year expenditure test if at least 75% of the proceeds of the issue are used for construction and if 10% is expended within 6 months, 45% within 12 months, 75% within 18 months and 100% within 2 years. If it is reasonably required that a retainage be maintained to enforce the completion of a contract, up to 5% of the proceeds may be retained for an additional 12 months. Please note that exemptions (ii), (iii) and (iv) are based on a test of absolute requirements which include the additional income earned from the reinvestment of proceeds, The City should be able to meet the requirements of items (iii) or (iv) for the Improvement and Tax Increment Bonds. The Capital Outlay Bonds cannot meet the requirements of item (iv) since proceeds are not being used for construction, However, the Capital Outlay Bonds may be eligible for exemption under items (ii) or (iii), If there is some question about meeting the exemption requirements for any of the issues, then the City can elect to either rebate the arbitrage earnings on the unexpended portion, or pay a penalty with respect to the close of each 6-month period after the date the obligations are issued equal to 1,5% of the amount by which unexpended proceeds exceed the percentages allowed during each period. The penalty is effectively 3% per year and is computed on any excess unexpended proceeds until the obligations are no longer outstanding. Because current investment rates are lower than the expected rate on the bonds, we recommend the City elect to rebate any arbitrage profits rather than elect the penalty. __ A 1993 change in the arbitrage regulations will require special attention be paid to the accumulation and investment of monies in the debt service fund for each issue, Investments of funds which exceed a bona fide fund level will have to be restricted to the yield of the bonds. Page 4 e e City of Stillwater, Minnesota April 27, 1994 A bona fide debt service fund is defined as a fund which is used to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest payments within each bond year and is depleted at least once each bond year except for a reasonable carryover amount which may not exceed the greater of: 1. The earnings on the fund for the preceding bond year; or 2. One-twelfth of the principal and interest payments on the issue for the immediately preceding bond year, Any earnings from the City's bona fide debt service fund are exempt from rebate, Amounts in a debt service fund in excess of the amount of a bona fide debt service fund are restricted to an investment rate equal to or less than the bond yield and may be invested in market rate obligations, if their yield is at or below the bond yield; in specially restricted State and Local Government Series (SLGS) issued by the U.S. Treasury; or in eligible tax-exempt obligations. A debt service fund can lose its bona fide status when the issuer accumulates excess investment earnings. It is important to monitor the funds to assure compliance with the new regulations. Economic Life of Financed Proiects The 1993 "final" arbitrage regulations brought all tax-exempt issues into the calculation of "economic life." Previously, this requirement was only for private activity bonds. The intent of this requirement is that the U.S. Treasury does not want tax-exempt debt outstanding longer than is necessary, thus creating more tax-exempt obligations in the marketplace than are needed. The general safe harbor for assuring that the issues comply with the regulations is if the average maturity of the bonds does not exceed 120% of the economic life of the financed projects, The Improvement Bonds and the Tax Increment Bonds are being issued for infrastructure improvements which, under the Treasury guidelines, have an economic life of 20 years, The average maturity of the Improvement Bonds and the Tax Increment Bonds is 6.7 years and 11,9 years, respectively, so those two issues are in compliance with this regulation. In regard to the Capital Outlay Bonds, the projects being financed have economic lives of 6 to 10 years and the average maturity of the bonds is 5,68 years, so this issue is also in compliance with the regulations. Bank Qualification In 1986 tax provisions enacted by the U.S, Treasury reduced the ability of banks and other financial institutions to use tax-exempt interest as an offset against other interest expense. This made tax-exempt obligations less attractive to these financial institutions since they did not get the full benefit of the tax exemption. There is an exclusion from 'this provision for issuers who will not sell more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations in a calendar year. It is our understanding the City will not issue in excess of $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations in 1994. Therefore, these issues can be designated "bank qualified." Typically, bank qualified issues receive rates lower than issues which are not bank qualified, We have taken this into consideration in our interest rate estimates. Federal Reimbursement Regulations e; The U.S. Treasury has enacted reimbursement regulations to regulate issuers who wish to issue tax-exempt obligations to recover costs of prior expenditures. The reimbursement regulations require that if the issuer proposes to reimburse itself for expenses they paid prior to Page 5 e fit e City of Stillwater, Minnesota April 27, 1994 the receipt of proceeds, it must have made a declaration of that intent within 60 days of the actual payment of the expense, There are exemptions for architectural and engineering fees and miscellaneous start-up costs. It is our understanding the City is aware of these regulations and will take whatever action is necessary to comply with the federal reimbursement regulations in regard to these issues. Bond Sale Procedures Proposals will be received on Tuesday, June 7, 1994, at 11 :00 A.M, in the offices of Springsted Incorporated, at which time they will be verified and checked for accuracy, A representative of Springsted will then present our recommendations as to the acceptability of proposals received to the City Council at its meeting that evening at 7:00 P,M. Proceeds are expected to be available in early July. Respectfully submitted, ~W cftu;~ SPRINGSTED Incorporated pjp Page 6 e City of Stillwater, Minnesota G.O.

Dated May 3,1994 BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL /s/ Morli Weldon Clerk Ie Page 21 e April 19, 1994 Mayor Charles Hooley City of Stillwater City Hall 216 N. Fourth St. Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mayor Hooley: e Stillwater Area Economic Development Corporation respectfully requests the City of Stillwater renew funding of SAEDC for 1994. In 1993 SAEDC received $4,500 of funding from the City of Stillwater. SAEDC used the funds to support the following efforts: 1. Economic Development Coordination - SAEDC held three workshops to coordinate economic development goals and objectives between the various member communities (Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Bayport, Stillwater Township, Bay Township and Grant Township). Through the meetings we have increased awareness and involvement of the local governments in the economic development process. 2. Business Retention and Expansion Survey - SAEDC worked with the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Extension Service to complete a business retention survey. The recommendations and strategies developed in response to the survey are being implemented to retain area businesses. 3. SAEDC has developed an industrial sites map identifying various industrial locations available. We have used this vehicle to demonstrate industrial sites available for existing or potential new area business. e 4. SAEDC has worked directly with area Red Flag (business planning to move) businesses to retain them in the area. SAEDC is currently involved in relocating 3 of these businesses. - 5. SAEDC actively supported proposals by Cub Foods and Andersen Windows to expand in the area. SAEDC's efforts to gather letters to the editor of local papers and participation in public meetings provided a balance to those opposed to economic development or expansion in the area. SAEDC's role in coordinating and encouraging economic development in the area has increased over the past year. Our goals are aimed at meeting both the needs of local business as well as home owners in our area. SAEDC efforts to accomplish these goals are based upon understanding diverse opinions and planning ahead to balance conflicting interest in the most effective manner.

He will employ 6-10 Stillwater area residents to sell the neclaces. The Parks and Recreation Board approved his request at their April 25, 1994, meeting. Mr. Rochlin was granted a similar permit to sell Glow Necklaces during the July 31, 1993, Sesquicentennial Celebration. Marjorie Cromie has requested a one-year Peddlers Permit to sell jewelry, lamps, olive oil, and textiles. The Parks and Recreation Board has denied her request to sell within the City Parks. She had a similar permit to sell in 1993, with the Parks and Recreation Boards' determination that the restricted park area included all exits, entrances, and roads therein, including the Levee Road and parking lot adjacent to the park. She has requested Council permission to sell in or around the parks. --. ..

To enhance awareness for commuting and its effects, the Metropolitan Transit Commission and its Minnesota Rideshare division work with other transportation agencies to sponsor "B-BOP Day" in Minnesota. B-BOP Day, May 19, is an annual event that challenges individuals to abandon the single passenger vehicle. "B-BOP" stands for Bike, Bus or Pool. These commuting alternatives are part of a system called Transportation Demand Management (TDM) that encourages people to adjust their travel behavior to make more efficient use of transportation facilities and services, I invite your city to take the lead in highlighting commuting option by hosting a B-BOP event at City Hall and recruiting local employers to also become involved, I believe that through these events, employees will become interested in TDM and employers will partner with MTC/Minnesota Rideshare to develop other commuting programs. You are also invited to find out more about TDM programs on Tuesday, May 17. Aboard the Padelford Riverboats, we will hold the 1994 Ride Choice Work Session and Awards Presentation, These awards honor those who have made notable efforts in providing innovative commuter transportation programs. During the Work Session, a panel of employers with successful TDM programs will discuss how they got their programs started and what the results have been, I am enthusiastic about working with you and your staff to implement programs that will benefit your city's residents. I will contact you in the coming week to arrange a time when we can meet to discuss this partnership and your participation in B-BOP Day 1994.

As you know, Book Centers bring a number of Booksellers together into one retail space and are very successful on both the East and West coasts. Since Stillwater already is known as a good book town, we believe this Center will draw large numbers of additional book buyers and generate considerable public interest. A large retail space consisting of two, attached, very well maintained historic buildings is available directly across from the St. Croix Antiquarian Booksellers on Main Street. They are well lit, air-conditioned, attractive, and include 7 private parking spaces. We have secured the right of first refusal on these buildings. We will be doing some remodeling and contracting for considerable signage, but most, if not all, of this will be complete by our target opening date of June 1st, which is the beginning of the tourist season. Accompanying this letter you will find a floor plan and photo of the buildings. The plan has been divided into 26 sections that are available to be leased. Many of these sections are in the 100 sq. ft. range, which will easily accommodate over 2000 books. More or less space is available. The Center will be open 66 hours each week, including Sundays and most Holidays. Because of the large space and the number of people who visit Stillwater, it will be staffed by two people and require a full-time, salaried Manager. We are pleased that Charles Perry, who has managed a large University bookstore, can take this managerial position. A phone, charge card machine, business cards, and Yellow Page display / advertising are all provided. A computerized cash register will give a detailed record of your sales. Everything associated with the buildings, including repairs, maintenance, insurance (on the building, not your books), bookkeeping, property taxes, etc. is also included in your monthly payment. Stillwater rent is notoriously high, and adding in labor, taxes, utilities, remodeling, etc. the charge per square foot comes to $3.85. Thus 100 sq. ft. = $385/mo. This would be your total cost. There will be no commission charges on your sales. e e e , If you are interested in joining this Center, we ask that you complete the enclosed application and return it no later than April 25th. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will require a one-year lease, with the first month due May 1, and the last month's rent (of the lease) due June 1. Thereafter, rent is due on the 1st of each month and your last month is paid in advance. (This corresponds to our requirement in renting the entire building.) You will be paid for your sales on the 1st and 15th of each month, and will have access to a daily log of your sales at all times. In consulting with other owners of Book Centers about policies and procedures, the following are the most prominent: *Booksellers must provide their own shelving, glass cases, and displays. Keys for locked cases can be kept at the central desk. All shelving must be clean and in good condition. Shelves are limited to 8' high. *Booksellers are required to work (or to pay for someone else to work) at the center for one day (8 hours) each month per unit rented. Scheduling of this work will be arranged by Manager. *Stock for sale should be primarily used or out-of-print hardcover books. Book related merchandise and services, such as bookbinding, prints, and maps are also desirable. *Spaces must be kept clean and books neatly arranged. Daily workers and our own employees will straighten books on an on-going basis. *The Center is not liable for theft of or damage to books, but will make every effort to provide security and prevent shoplifting. * Access to the building by Booksellers is restricted to shop hours. Of course, all of this will be formalized in your lease agreement but, for now, we have tried to provide you with as much information as possible. Since Book Centers in other parts of the country have long waiting lists, we urge you to respond quickly to this proposal. The Stillwater Book Center will be well-managed and professional, We believe it will be a great opportunity for every bookseller who chooses to participate. Thank you for giving this your serious attention. We are available to answer any questions you might have at the following numbers: Thomas Loome (612) 430-1092 (evenings: 430-0306); Gary Goodman (612) 439-1408.

Based on the enclosed floor plan, please indicate the size and location of the space you would like to lease. Choose three in order of preference. First Second Third ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATEMENT OF INTENT: By signing this application I am indicating my serious intent to lease space at the Stillwater Book Center in the proportion indicated above. Signed J. e e e Guide to floor plan for Stillwater Book Center: 1. There are 26 spaces available for rent, these lettered "A" through "Z". 2. The owners of the Book Center are open to proposals from individual book sellers to rent two or more contiguous spaces. 3. The floor plan is not to scale, but nonetheless gives a good sense of the spaces available, and of their relationship to the exits and to the central check-out area. 4. Square footage (circled) is given for each space. Since the plan is not to precise scale, some spaces may look larger or smaller than they actually are. For example, space "Q" (115 square feet) appears smaller than space "s" (100 square feet). Go therefore by the square footage as given, not by appearances. 5. The square footage is fairly accurate but can only be measured more precisely after the present tenants vacate at the end of May. At that time exact measurements can be taken which will bear slightly on our rental fee. For example, space "A", listed as 100 square feet, may turn out to be only 98 square feet; space "L", listed as 235 square feet, may turn out to be 238 feet. 6. We are leasing only the carpeted areas of the Book Center. TIled areas are the public areas. If therefore you inspect the premises during April or May, note that the present configuration of tiled or public areas is what determines the available of spaces to rent to booksellers. It also accounts for the peculiar or irregular shapes of several of the spaces we are offering for lease. What we are trying to do is to keep the tiled spaces entirely free (and hence not leasing these for bookcases, display cases, tables, etc.) A note on parking: The Book Center is unusual, certainly for Stillwater, in having fourteen (14) parking spaces all within 10 feet of the building. There are two spots on Main Street, in front of the building (one of these marked handicapped) and five additional spots on Water Street, in back of the building (one of which is marked handicapped). In addition, however, we have seven private parking spaces reserved for staff and customers of the Book Center. One of these, that closest to the rear entrance, will be held for loading and unloading. Access to the shop is exceptionally easy; there are no stairs to maneuver. e e ie ~ .... .

We have been invited by Mayor Hooley to present candidates from the First Ward. Our group met on May 1, and two members of our group expressed an interest in filling the unexpired term of Councilmember Funke after his resignation. Based on knowledge of these people, we can recommend both of these people to the City Council as qualified and interested in Stillwater and Ward 1 issues. Their names are Corey Mohan, 1112 S. 2nd St.; and Bruce Brillhart, 319 W. Pine St. We are committed to a fair and open process for the selection of our next councilmember. Therefore, we ask that the council commit to selecting someone from the First Ward, and that the person selected commit to not seeking election in the fall as an incumbent. We feel that an election in November to an open seat will attract candidates who might otherwise not wish to run against an incumbent. This will allow the First Ward to elect their own representative for the first time. First Ward Neighbors has organized a candidate's forum. All people interested in the council position will be invited answer questions. The meeting is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Thursday May 5 in Stillwater City Council Chambers. All First Ward residents will be invited to attend this very important and informative meeting. Sincerely, ~ Bob Bourdaghs 815 S. 2nd St. , t e Your Honor Mayor and Council, I would like to express my interest in filling the vacancy for the ward 1 council seat. I intend to run for this seat in the 1994 election. I have lived in Stillwater since 1967 and I currently reside at 419 South Second Street. I am a 1981 graduate of Stillwater Senior High School and attended the University of Wisconson- River Falls, majoring in Economics and Business Admin- istration. As a young person just starting a family and also as someone who makes his living as a local merchant (N orthem Vineyards Winery). I feel I can bring to the council some views and ideas that have not been represented. My goals would be to make the City of Stillwater and Ward 1 the best place possible to live. work. and raise a family. I also would like to help bring about a better relationship between the council. the citizens of Stillwater. and the local bus- ness people and develop a cooperative spirit of Community. e 7J? 0-tL~ William E.

April 28, 1994 Mr. Darrell Schierman, Manager Transportation Permits Mn/DOT Truck Service Center Livestock Exchange Building, Room 152 100 Stockyards Road South St. Paul; MN 55075 DR4fr Dear Mr. Schirman: The City of Stillwater has been living with congestion on Highways 95 and 36 in the downtown area for many years. The City, in cooperation with Mn/DOT, has instituted a number of improvements in order to handle the ever increasing traffic volumes. The City has removed parking on both sides of Chestnut Street from Main Stt'eet to the river, on the west side of Main Street from north of Olive Street to just south of Commercial Street and on the east side of Main Street near the Chestnut Street intersection. Turns have been prohibited; signs installed and other modifications made to maintain traffic flow. The City has also seen increasing traffic on its local street system in residential neighborhoods as motorists attempt to beat the backup occurring on the Trunk Highways. . Traffic volumes on the bridge over the St. Croix River have grown significantly. In 1962, the volume was less than 5;000 vehicles per day. In 1970, the volwne had grown to 8;000 and to 11;000 in 1980. In 1990, the volum.e was 15,000 vehicles per day, or 3 times what it was 30 years ago. The City has continued to look for other options to continue to maintain traffic flow in the face of ever increasing volumes. One of the major concerns is the tremendous impact a single semi- trailer truck has on traffic in the downtown area. Truck traffic desiring to turn from northbound Main Street (Highway 36) east onto Chestnut Street to reach the river bridge has a very difficult time because of the traffic volumes and narrowness of the roadway. A single truck must turn from the left lane and sometimes encroach on the centerline of Main Street in order to make the right turn onto Chestnut Street and not encroach into the westbound lane of traffic. At the same time; there are vehicles attempting to pass the truck on the right resulting all to often in acddents. The reverse move is a similar difficult procedure in that trucks generally must straddle the westbound lane lines in order to track the trailer through the intersection without encroaching on the Highway 36 centerline. Highway 36 north from its junction with Highway 95 and across the St. Croix River is on the Minnesota Twin Trailer Network. It was placed there in the 19705 presumably to provide continuity with routes in Wisconsin. Since that time, traffic volumes on the river bridge have doubled, congestion in downtown Stillwater has inaeased significantly and some of the ".. Mr. Darrell Schierman April 28, 1994 Page 2 e improvements made to handle the higher traffic volumes actually work to the detriment of turning trucks. A preliminary study of downtown Stillwater tl,"uck accidents by Mn/OOT for the years 1989 to 1993 show 34 truck accidents. Seventeen involve trucks turning at the Chestnut Street intersection. Observations of the downtown area have repeatedly shown that a single truck can tie up traffic for one Or sometimes even two or three signal cycles as it attempts to maneuver through the intersection. A conservative estimate is that a single semi-trailer truck has the average impact of approximately 20 passenger vehicles in the downtown area. For these reasons, the City of Stillwater requests that the Minnesota Department of Transportation remove Highway 36 from Highway 95 north to downtown Stillwater and to the St. Croix River Bridge from the Twin Trailer Route. The request is made specifically for the following reasons: . The accident rate for heavy commercial vehicles at the intersection of Chestnut Street and Main Street significantly exceeds the accident rate for commercial vehicles throughout Minnesota and probably is higher than m.any other intersections in the State. e . The route through town is restricted to a single lane with either a right turn or a left turn lane posted at the Main and Chestnut Street intersections. Trucks must leave the lane to make the turn. . Trucks often encroach into the oncoming traffic lanes to make the turn through the intersection. . The peak hour volume to capacity ratio at the intersection of Main Street and Chestnut Street is significantly higher than .7. .. There are no known twin trailer terminals in the downtown Stillwater ate a or in the area of Wisconsin immediately west of the St. Croix River. . Alternate routes are readily available including Interstate 694 and 94 to the Hudson bridge, Highway 95 through Bayport to the Hudson bridge, Highway 65 in Wisconsin from Interstate 94 to New Richmond and Highway 35 through Hudson to Somerset. For these reasons, we feel that the twin trailer route should be removed as soon as possible from Highway 36 in the downtown Stillwater area. e e e e '1l Mr. Darrell Schierman April 28, 1994 Page 3 A resolution of the City of Stillwater City Council is attached. We appreciate the cooperation of your office in addressing the concerns of the City and the Metropolitan Division Offices. If you need any additional information, please feel free to contact the City- Sincerely, Charles Hooley, Mayor City of Stillwater Attaclunent RESOLUfION NO. RESOLUfION REQUESTING REMOVAL OF TWIN TRAILER ROUI'E FROM HIGHWAY 36 IN STILLWATER BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater that the City requests removal of Highway 36 from the south junction of Highway 95 to the St. Croix River from the Minnesota Twin Trailer Network System. The removal Is justified by the following facts: 1. The accident rate for heavy commercial vehicles is significantly high. 2. The heavy commercial vehicles must leave turn lanes in order to turn at the intersection of Main Street and Chestnut Street. 3. Trucks often encroach into oncoming traffic lanes to make tm:ns through the City. 4. Traffic congestion is magnified significantly whenever truck traffic makes the turn at the Main Street and Chestnut Street intersection. 5- There are no known twin trailer terminals in the downtown Stillwater area. 6. Alternate routes for twin trailer trucks are readily available.

Jj .'..' ;;;,:'{ April 21, 1994 Dear Mr. Kriesel, The River Valley Arts Council is looking to establish a permanent art center in Stillwater. As we continue to study the many aspects of this undertaking, we look forward to discussing this project with you. In 1990, the S1. Croix Arts Task Force was formed as a result of an initiative by then Governor Rudy Perpich. Flowing from the recommendations of that Task Force, the River Valley Arts Council (RV AC) was formed with one of its goals to investigate a St. Croix Valley Center for the Arts in Stillwater. The arts center could, among other things, offer performance, exhibition, classroom, film screening, studio and meeting space for people of all ages in eastern Washington County. After months of review, RV AC has determined that the National Guard Ar- mory on Chestnut Street, being vacated in 1995, would provide an excellent facility from which to serve the expanding cultural needs of this area. The S1. Croix Valley has a rich history dating back many decades of support- ing the arts and artists. Today there is a growing appeal locally for the arts to have a greater presence at the center of our community and civic lives. We are very inter- ested in your thoughts on this and hope you will be able to take a few minutes to share them with a R V AC board member who will be calling you soon. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and your support of the River Valley Arts Council.

OTHER BUSINESS Discussion of reQuest for acquiring parkland - The Commission discussed a petition from Green Twig Way property owners asking the City to purchase property for park/open space. The subdivision of the property was recently requested and denied. Following discussion, the Commission agreed that one home on the property would be acceptable. Mr. Russell stated that this would reduce the cost to the City and still preserve the sensitive part of the site. The property owner would not need approval for only one house. The park fees from the two subdivisions which were approved at this meeting could be used to purchase the property. Motion by Don Valsvik, seconded by Kirk Roetman to recommend to the City Council that a portion or all of the property be purchase for open space, with development of only one lot, with park dedication funds to be used for the purchase. Carried 5-0. Consideration of request for a regulation to nrotect views and vistas. John Kraemer presented a request to amend the building code to allow for protection of views and vistas. The Commission discussed this request and determined that it would be difficult to define a view, and also difficult to determine who owns a view. The Commission will keep the request in mind as it updates the Comprehensive Plan. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Don Valsvik, seconded by Glenna Bealka to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Carried.

November 27-December 4,1994 Minneapolis, Minnesota T he future of this nation lies in the hands of our rising leaders. An ideal way to develop future lead- ers is to introduce them to professionals who attempt to tackle these issues at the front lines. Leadership for America's Cities is designed to recognize the wealth of potential municipal leaders of America and encourage their increasing involvement in community issues. This exceptional program has been designed by The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Semi- nars and the National League of Cities to create optimal learning opportunities for some of the nation's most promising college students. '. T mnsportation. Crime. Education. Electric Power. Taxes. Water Trc:llment. Waste Disposal. Federal Mandates. HealUI Care. NAffA. These words define some of the many im- portant issues that affect America's cities and towns. Municipal- ities working in concert with each other and with state and na- tional authorities have the power and vision to rethink, refonn, and rebuild the structure of America. Will our communities be prepared to provide the leadership necessary to grapple with these issues and seek solutions as our nation heads into the 21 st century? Using the 1994 National League of Cities annual Congress of Cities meeting in Minne'dpolis as a framework for learning, these sllldenl~, to be called Leadership Fellows, will become more knowledgeable about the issues and better prepared to gain the leadership skills relevant to a fulllre career in public service. In December, these NLC Leadership Fellows \vill attend a one-week academic seminar held in conjunction with the an- nual NLC Congress of Cities meeting. The program is designed to introduce college sllldents to professional and policy-related issues facing municipal governments today and in the future. A highlight will be a chance for the students to interact at a pro- fessional level \\ith municipal leaders in order to gain a better understanding of current issues facing our nation's towns and cities. Lelu(ershil) for America's Cities is a premier academic program that will help college sllldents interested in a public service career get on the fasttmck toward achieving their pro- fessional goals. With the support of their city officials and stale municipal leagues, Leadership Fellows will be introduced to the penple, organizations, and issues of importance to those who aspire to careers in municipal government.

Convention Sessions/Host City Activities Whenever feasible, Leadership Fellows will attend convention sessions, special evenl~, press conferences, workshops, tours, re- ceptions, and other convention-relatl'<i activities. Efforts will be made to allow l.eadership Fellows to attend special sessions, meetings or other organizational events sponsored by constit- uency groups, such as the state municipal leagues, National Black Caucus of I.ocaI Elected Officials, Hispanic Elected Local Officials, Women in Municipal Government, Asian Pacific American Mu- nicipal Elected Officials, University Communities Caucus, Environ- mental Caucus, Gay, I.csbian and Bisexual and I.oad Elected Officials and related groups. Readings/ Academic Journal Readings will be assigned both in advance and during the conference. Leadership Fellows are also required to maintain an in-depth, structured, academic journal as a daily record of their academic and experiential activities, observations, and analyses. The journal is reviewed and evaluated during the semi- nar by the Faculty Le'JUers. Additional assignmenl~ may be re- quired by the faculty member on the student's campus who is awarding the academic credit for the program.
