Dear Stillwater City Council Members and Stillwater Township Supervisors:
The Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee is pleased to present the

both city and township offices.
We have scheduled a workshop with the Stillwater City Council and
Stillwater Township for February 20, 1996, at 6:30 p.m., at the Stillwater City
Hall. During the workshop, Bill Morris of Decision Resources will present
the survey methods and results. His presentation will be followed by a

e
( 1995 Open Space Study
City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township
Both community samples reported solid levels of concern about the future preservation or loss of
open space in the Stillwater Area.
. In the City of Stillwater, 85% were either "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned."
. In Stillwater Township, 91% were concerned.
Residents who were unconcerned tended to feel there was "enough open space."
Near unanimity was expressed on the importance of protecting and preserving open spaces and
natural areas in their communities.
. 93 % of the City of Stillwater residents viewed it as "very important" or "somewhat
important. "
. 96% of Stillwater Township residents saw it as important.
Convenience of Natural and Recreational Amenities:
e
There were significant differences between City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township residents
in the reported convenience of natural amenities,
. On average, 79% of the City of Stillwater residents felt that parks, trails, and natural areas
were either "very convenient" or "somewhat convenient."
. Similarly, on average, 90% of the Stillwater Township residents felt they were
"convenient." .
Immediate need for more passive recreational and natural areas was far stronger in the City of
Stillwater than in the Township.
Open Space Preservation:
.
There was general agreement about the kinds of open space to be preserved in both communities:
parks, woods/forests, and wetlands.
. City of Stillwater residents were particularly adamant about preserving park lands.
. Stillwater Township residents more strongly favored preservation of all types of land.
By significant majorities, residents in both areas preferred open spaces to be preserved as passive
recreational areas, such as forests and wetlands, rather than more active recreational areas.
The average percentage of the budget allocated by residents in both communities to the
acquisition and maintenance of recreational areas was 35%.

Financing Open Space Preservation and Acquisition:
Residents of the City of Stillwater were willing to accept a median property tax increase of
$17.30 annually for open space preservation and acquisition.
. Hardcore opposition accepting no tax increase for open space needs was 19%.
Residents of Stillwater Township were willing to accept a median property tax increase of $14.50
yearly for open space preservation and acquisition.
· Hardcore opposition which would accept no tax increase for this purpose was 32%.
Willingness to accept a property tax increase in both communities reflected the perceived
convenience of existing recreational and natural amenities; in Stillwater Township, the need was
far less intense than in the City.
Residents of both areas preferred an "entertainment tax" to provide funds for open space
acquisition, This result was not surprising since it would disproportionately fall upon area
visitors instead of residents,
City of Stillwater residents opposed a combination of a moderate property tax increase and a
local sales tax or entertainment tax by a 53%-45% verdict.
Stillwater Township residents opposed the combination by a 66%-30% judgment.
. The key objection in both communities was the need for combined tax revenues.
e
Residents of both communities narrowly supported the issuing of bonds for open space needs,
even if it meant a property tax increase. Again, residents proved more supportive of a one-~
approach, even though they were not as enthusiastic about property tax increases as they were
about an entertainment tax,
. By a 55%-37% verdict, City of Stillwater residents supported this action.
. By a 48%-44% judgment, Township residents felt the same way.
Use of Funds:
By a 56%-35% margin, City of Stillwater residents would use funds for open space acquisition
outside of the City, such as in the Township.
Bya 54%-37% verdict, Stillwater Township residents supported using funds in the southern part
of the township where new development was concentrated.
Page 4
e
.
1995 Open Space Study
e City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township
Both communities registered majorities supporting the use of funds to purchase additional open
space beyond what developers are required to donate in the southern part of Stillwater Township.
Community Environmental Ordinances:
City of Stillwater residents were more likely than Township residents to feel both that existing
environmental ordinances and current ordinance enforcement were "not tough enough."
. City residents, by a 42%-32% margin, viewed current ordinances as "about right" rather
than "too tough."
. City residents split 41 %-38% in viewing enforcement was "about right" rather than "not
tough enough."
Both communities solidly approved of strict local setback and slope ordinances to preserve
ravines.
Land Use and Quality of Life:
e
Residents of both communities gave hiking and biking trails, wildlife areas, wetlands,
waterways, and forested land high impact ratings on the quality of life.
. Stillwater Township residents gave especially high impact ratings to forested lands.
Conclusions:
The survey of both communities revealed the following attitudes:
1. There was solid support in both communities for the preservation and acquisition of open
space; however, both the need and the willingness to pay taxes were higher within the City of
Stillwater, .
2, Residents would generally prefer any acquired open space to be preserved as passive
recreational areas. '
3. Ideally, residents would like to see about one-third of their communities' park and recreation
budget allocated to the acquisition and maintenance of passive recreational areas.
4. Residents of both communities would accept moderate property tax increase to fund the
issuance of bonds for purchasing open space. Similarly, there was strong support for an

Mayor Jay Kimble and Stillwater City Council
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Re: Claim Against City of Stillwater, Minnesota by Alex Joseph Salava,
Jacqueline Yvonne Costello and Jacqueline Yvonne Costello's Minor
e Children, Joshua Alverio and Aryana Salava
Dear Mayor Kimble and City Council Members:
I have been retained by Alex Joseph Salava and Jacqueline Yvonne
Costello to represent them and their children in their claim for damages against
the City of Stillwater, Minnesota.
Ie
On August 9, 1995 Deputy Sheriff Mike Gibbs of the Washington
County Sheriff's Department and other officers under his direction, believed by
my clients to be Deputy Sheriff Stafford (badge 148) and Deputy Sheriff
Moriarty (badge number unknown) and Deputy Sheriff Livingston (badge
number unknown) and Stillwater, Minnesota Police Officers Johnson (badge
105), Kurtz (badge 109) and Sievert (badge number unknown) and possibly
other and as of now unidentified law enforcement officers, did unlawfully arrest
Alex Salava and detain Jacqueline Costello at gunpoint, without a warrant. The
children, most unfortunately, were also subjected to this display of force.
An investigation of the records shows that my clients were stopped on
Osgood by Highway 36 at gun point while leaving Stillwater to go on a family e
vacation at approximately 7: 19 on August 8, 1995. The Washington County
Sheriffs Department radio log shows that my client's residence, 1200
Curvecrest Blvd., Stillwater, Minnesota, was unlawfully searched at
approximately 7:45 p.m. on August 9, 1995. The statements of neighbors
confirm that my client's residence was entered between 7:30 p.m. and 7:45
p.m. on August 9, 1995 by uniformed law enforcement officers.
The search warrant signed by the Honorable J. E. Cass was dated 8-9-95,
8:04 p.m. (please see enclosure).
Prior to being authorized to search my clients' home your agents seized
my clients at gunpoint and using the color of law entered my clients' home.
Your agents falsely imprisoned my clients, they trespassed on my clients'
property and committed both state and federal constitutional torts of illegal
search and seizure.
Furthermore, in applying for a search warrant which was granted at 8:04
p.m. on August 8, 1995, Deputy Sheriff Mike Gibbs negligently relied upon
a "confidential reliable informant" whom my clients have reason to believe is a
person with convictions for crimes of dishonesty. This so-called "confidential
reliable informant's" conviction record is easily obtainable and probably known
to local law enforcement officials, This so-called "confidential reliable
informant" also had a grudge against Ms. Costello after Ms. Costello informed
the Stillwater Police Department that the "confidential reliable informant's" son
had been involved in a theft. Additionally, since Mr. Salava is a federal
probationer, Deputy Gibbs could have foregone the dangerous theatrics of
arrest at gun point and simply asked the federal probation officer to inspect Mr.
Salava's home.
It appears at this time that Stillwater's Officers may have committed no
intentional wrongs, but only be guilty of negligence by relying on the
Washington County Sheriff's Department. Certainly the lead Stillwater Officer,
Captain Johnson, should have asked to see a copy of the search warrant before
entering my clients' home. While the City of Stillwater undoubtedly has an
excellent case against the County for indemnification, Stillwater Officers
nonetheless helped stop my clients at gun point and entered my clients' home
without a valid search warrant prior to 8:04 p.m. on August 9, 1995.
e
el
e
e
1/
e
My clients, in spite of being so callously abused under the color of state
law, would be willing to settle this matter quietly without the unpleasant
publicity of litigation. If this matter goes to litigation each of my four clients
will be asking for reasonable damages in an amount in excess of $50,000.00,
and they will each make an application to the Court for additional punitive
damages.
Very ruly,
f j /f /2 / /

Klayton Eckles, City Engineer k--~ /'
FROM:
DATE: February 16, 1996
SUBJECT: Change Order for Pine Hill Estates L.I. 305
DISCUSSION
Attached is a change order for the Pine Hill Estates Project for $15,077.44. This change order is
necessary to reimburse the contractor for a number of significant extras that were encountered on
this project. The majority of these extras occurred due to incomplete grading on the part of the
developer. The site was not fully prepared for the city's contractor at the commencement of this
project. This change order also provides a time extension to the contractor thru June 1, 1996.
Note that if the contractor does not finish this project by June 1st all accumulated damages due to
the lack of completion of this project accumulated to date as well as those accumulated after June
1st will become due, therefore, the contractor has a significant incentive for completing this
project by the 1 st of June.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council pass a resolution approving change order No. 1 in the amount of
$15,077.44 for Pine Hill Estates L.I. 305.

MEMORANDUM

Mayor and City Council
~~
FROM:
Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: February 15, 1996
SUBJECT: 1996 Bond Issues for the Building Project and 1995 Projects
Back~round:
Staff have been working on getting the numbers together for Springsted (City's financial
consultant) on the 1996 Bond Issue Sale and was purposely waiting for the bids on the building
project to come in, because this will be a significant portion of our bonding this year.
Analysis
1. As part of the Payable 1996 tax levy we included $310,000 for the building based on total
project estimate of $3,900,000 (including $3,850,000 for construction and $50,000 for
bonding issuance) with repayment for a 25 year term. The estimate for the building from
BWBR after receiving bids is $4,068,712 or $168,712 over the budgeted amount.
2 The following local improvement projects also need to be financed:
L.I. 304, Myrtlewood $142,355.63
L.I. 306, Highlands VI 12,846.04
L.I. 307, Myrtle St. Rehab. 28,733.39
L.I. 312, 1995 Streets 270,639.45
L.I. 317, Good Samaritan 31,953.54
L.I. 313, Calibre Ridge 250,248.01
L.I. 309, Wildwood Pines 129,965.13
L.I. 308, Kutz Addition 136,868.39
L.I. 305, Pinehill Estates 171,891.43
L.I. 319, Yacht Club Dredging 54,000.00
L.I. 310, 1995 Sidewalks 87,880.00
L.I. 303, North Broadway 45.810.46
Total $1,363,191.47
The amounts above are for the portion and/or balance of each project that have been or will be
special assessed for the individual projects.
3. The City share of the 1995 Sidewalk Improvement and 1995 Street Project also need to be
funded. These are:
L.I. 310, 1995 Sidewalks
L.I. 312, 1995 Streets
Total City Share
$87,880.00
193.953.15
$281,833.15
-
Conclusion:
It is my understanding that the City Council does not want to increase property taxes for the City
share of the sidewalk and street projects. Therefore, we will need to use current funds on hand
for these projects.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends authorizing the preparation of preliminary bond issue information for the
financial consultant's use:
G.O. Improvement Bonds
G.O. Building Project
G.O. Capital Outlay
(1996 Budget amount)
$1,363,191.47
$ amount to be determined by
$310,000 levy amount and extend
to 30 years, if needed.
$865,895
Also need City Council approval to use current funds (exact fund to be determined as part of City e
Council direction resulting from prison workshop on 2-13-96) for the 1995 Streets and Sidewalks .
in the amount of$281,833.15.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director ~~
DATE: February 16, 1996
SUBJECT:
Update on Financial Analysis
BACKGROUND:
On 2-13-96 the City Council directed me to prepare a financial analysis of city funds. In order to
do this, it is vital to review all agreements (current, pending, and proposed) to determine the
obligation/cost to the city. Staff started with the Colonial Craft proposed agreement and
clarifications are needed due to inconsistencies between the development package approved by
City Council on July 18, 1995 and the proposed agreements (Attachment 4 & 5) for this project.
ANAL YSIS:
Upon review of the proposed development agreement with Colonial Craft and the proposed
purchase agreement for the land, listed below are the items costing more $ than what was
originally approved:
1) Land costs due to site change and enlargement
Attachment 1 shows original site
Attachment 2 shows revised site
2) Completion date change to 1 ~ years later (Attachment 3)
The net effect of these changes increases the up-front cost to the city and decreases TIF available
to the city. The original proposal was projected to pay back land costs over the life of the district
plus generate additional revenues to be used for other projects (i.e. Lowell Park, Levee Wall,
Territorial Prison, etc.)
Listed below is a comparison of the original and proposed offer:
Original
Proposed
TIF revenue for $929,332
12 ~ years to end of
district
TIF revenue for
11 years to end of
district
$805,779
Less TIF to
developer
($260,213)
($256,384)
Net to City
$669,119
$549,395
e
Costs to purchase
land
(520,000)
(645,103)
TIF available for
other projects
$149,119
($95,708)
CONCLUSION:
Clarification of the cost/terms of the project is needed for use in financial analysis.
It is hoped this is a one-time occurrence and not a trend as the remaining agreements are
reviewed for the impact on the financial analysis staff is preparing. Any other agreements
needing additional clarification will be brought to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to determine which fmancial package should be used for analysis: To recap, the
original offer which provided payback plus additional TIF or the proposed offer which calls for
additional up-front city contribution and less TIF.

FINANCING AND COST-SHARING
The City of Stillwater is willing to enter into a development agreement with
Colonial Craft with the following financial incentives to relocate the
manufacturing facility into Stillwater, MN.
A, TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF)
The City of Stillwater has identified a potential site in the industrial park to
accommodate the current facility and future expansion, as per your RFP specs,
with area in excess of 6,0 acres. The identified site is within the project area
of TIF District #1, and accordingly, eligible for TIF expenditures. The
ap roximate cost of the proposed land is $520 000 for the entire 6 acres. The e
City of Stil water is willing to purchase the site with available tax increment
funds and sell a 4 acre site to Colonial Craft for $1.00. The City of Stillwater
is willing to retain the adjacent 2 acre parcel for up to 7 years and to offer
Colonial Craft an option to purchase the remaining 2 acre site for Colonial
Craft's future expansion needs.
This property would be contributed to Colonial Craft on the condition that
50% of any available tax increment funds that flow from the site by reason of
the Development, b~ returned to this City until the value of the land has been
repaid, or the life of the District, whichever occurs first. The remaining 50%
of available tax increment would be made available to Colonial Craft as
reimbursement for TIF eligible expenses associated with the development. {?o K

e debt service on the lOB bonds is estimated at $250,000.
The City of Stillwater anticipates submitting an application for the lOB
allocation in early 1996, with the application being accepted in March of
1996. Once an allocation is received, the borrower has 90 days to complete
the financing or the allocation must be returned to the Department of Finance.
The financing would need to close in June of 1996. This would provide
approximately nine months of construction and allow Colonial raft to
occupy the faci ity on or before the beginniog of tbe second quarter of 1997.
Detailed preliminary schedules are provided for your information on the
following pages: sources and uses funds, the debt service schedule, operation
of the project construction fund, net debt service schedule and operation of
capitalized interest fund.
This Industrial Development Bond would not be secured by the full faith and
credit of the City and the City would not be responsible for the repayment.

e Minnesota City Development District Act, found in ~469.124 through ~469.134 of the Statutes of

e
the Council finds that the development proposed by the Redeveloper qualifies for tax increment assistance

RE:
1995 POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
IN 1995 THE STILLWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT HANDLED 12,382 COMPLAINTS
COMPARED TO 10,820 COMPLAINTS IN 1994, OR AN ANNUAL INCREASE OF 1,566
CALLS.
tit
AS MENTIONED, WE HAD 12,382 COMPLAINTS IN 1995. HOWEVER, MANY OF
THE COMPLAINTS WERE MULTIPLE INCIDENT CASES (SUCH AS STOPPING A DRIVER
FOR D.W.I. AND THEN FINDING THAT HE/SHE HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVERS
LICENSE AND ALSO THE LICENSE PLATES WERE EXPIRED. THIS WOULD BE 1
COMPLAINT, BUT 3 INCIDENTS).
IN 1995 WE HANDLED 13,669 ACTUAL INCIDENTS EVEN THO THERE I~ERE
12,382" COMPLAINTS.
THE DEPARTMENT IS ALREADY SEEING AN INCREASE IN COMPLAINTS IN 1996
OVER 1995 IN THAT THE DEPARTMENT HANDLED 1,108 COMPLAINTS BETWEEN
JANUARY 1, 1995 AND FEBRUARY 15, 1995. IN 1996 WE HANDLED 1,522
COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PERIOD. (414 COMPLAINT INCREASE).
THE ATTACHED SHEETS SHOW A BREAKDOWN OF THE INCIDENTS WE HANDLED
IN 1995. THOSE OF THE SAME TYPE ARE LUMPED TOGETHER. ANOTHER THING
TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE "NUMBERS" IS THAT AN ATTEMPTED
CRIME AND ACTUAL CRIMES ARE IN THE TOTALS. THIS IS THE WAY THE
REPORTING IS DONE AND THERE ISN'T ANY WAY TO SEGREGATE ATTEMPTED
CRIMES FROM THE ACTUAL ONES. (AN ACTUAL BURGLARY AND AN ATTEMPTED
BURGLARY WHERE SOMEONE TRIED TO BREAK IN TO A RESIDENCE BUT WAS NOT
SUCCESSFUL OR SCARED OFF ARE BOTH REPORTED AS A BURGLARY).
THE LAST TWO SHEETS ARE THE 1995 ANNUAL DOWNTOWN PARKING OFFICERS
REPORT. THE REGULAR CITATIONS THAT ARE MARKED WITH AN (*) ARE
INCLUDED IN THE NUMBERS TOTALS IN THE POLICE REPORT BUT I LEFT THEM ON
HIS REPORT TO SHOW YOU HIS ACTIVITY.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: City Coordinator
SUBJECT: Goal Setting Workshops
DATE: February 16, 1996
In reviewing the calendar of meetings for the council for the next two months it appears that the
following dates would be available for council workshops on goal setting: Tuesday, March 12 or
Tuesday, March 26(or a Saturday or another weekday if the council should so desire). I am still
working on obtaining a facilitator for the sessions. I would recommend that the City employ either
Peter Cotton or Dave Pearson. Mr. Cotton has facilitated goal setting sessions for the City in the past
and Mr. Pearson has conducted team building sessions with the City. I am awaiting a proposal from
Mr. Pearson and a revised proposal from Mr. Cotton (Mr. cotton's previous proposal included team
building which I think could be done at a later date and that the current emphasis should be on goal
setting only).
I will discuss this with you Tuesday night.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: City Coordinator
SUBJECT: Telecommunications System
DATE: February 16, 1996
Discussion:
About July of last year Mayor Kimble suggested to me that City staff explore t~ossibility of
telephone inter-connectivity and shared telecommunications systems with Washington Count)"'t1'he
County has been in the process of upgrading their telecommunications system. It appears that this
was very good advice. City staffhave been meeting with the county for the past six months as they
go thru their upgrade process and it appears that the aforementioned relationship would be very
beneficial
First of all the City can take advantage of the phone system that the County is purchasing and we
will be receiving an excellent price on the system. Second, the City and County will be able to
converse thru a four digit dialing system and will also be able to intercom with County offices (and
vice-versa). Third, the system will also allow for separate numbers for each department along with
voice mail. Finally, City staff have looked at other systems over the past year (or so) and it is the
consensus of staff that the County system compares very well with other systems. (I should point
out that Barb White, Telecommunication Specialist for the County has contributed a considerable
amount of her personal time to the City's telecommunication needs and her work is really
appreciated).
F or your information the installation of the system would be coordinated with the City Hall
expansion/remodeling project and would be on-line when the project was completed. Further, the
cost of the phone system was included in the 1996 C/O budget ($50,000) and not in the City Hall
project.
Recommendation:
Authorize city staff to continue to work with the County for the development and installation of a
new telecommunication system.

RE:
Solid Waste Holiday Pick-up Schedule
DISCUSSION
e Accompanying this memo is a letter I received from Jeffrey Glewwe regarding a proposed
change in the holiday pick-up schedule. Mr. Glewwe is proposing to push all pick-ups back one
day (including the day of the holiday and the collections after the holiday). This would mean
that for the six major holidays, residents would be required to place their garbage at the curb the
day after their regular pick-up and some would have their collection made on a Saturday.
Although I believe we will have some problems with the schedule change, as Mr. Glewwe points
out, it is consistent with industry standards/procedures. City staff will make sure that the holiday
schedule is published in the city newsletter (and in the local newspaper).
I~
RECOMMENDATION
Council approve proposed holiday pick-up schedule change.

Dear Mr, Kriesel,
Please find enclosed a copy of the 1996 Holiday Collection Schedule. In order to be as
consistent as possible and to avoid any possible collection problems, We would like to
implement the enclosed Holiday Collection Schedule for the City of Stillwater. The Holiday
Schedule is consistent with the industry standard in dealing with Holiday week collections and
will assure that equipment and manpower is available for timely collections.
e
During an Observed Holiday Week (the six major nationally recognized holidays of Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day are
observed by the solid waste industry) collection would occur one day later if the holiday fell on
or before to the normal collection day. Regular collection schedule would resume the following
week.
Following approval from the City, the Holiday Schedule could be sent to residents. The Holiday
Schedule could also be placed in the City's newsletter. We would like implement the Holiday
Collection Schedule with enough time and notice for the Memorial Day Holiday on Monday,
May 27, 1996.
Thank you for your time and understanding regarding this matter.
If you have any questions or if I could be of further assistance please do not hesitate to call me at
429-6766.
Sincerely,

DA: February 14, 1996
RE: REQUEST TO PURCHASE CITY OWNED LAND
The city has received a request from Gary Midbrod to purchase a portion of Lot #4,
Sunny Slope Addition (see attached map). He intends to combine it with his lot (#6)
and construct a garage on the site.
The request has been referred to city staff for comment. It appears that water and
sewer connections were provided to the lot and not paid by the developer and that the
lot was obtained from the county for back taxes and must be used by the city for public
purposes.
For Mr. Midbrod to purchase the lot, it would have to be given back to Washington
County then purchased by him from Washington County. The city attorney is reviewing
how the land was obtained by the city and will provide a report at meeting time.
The site is zoned single family residential and a garage use would be consistent with
that land use designation.
Recommendation: Decision on request.

Dear Mayor Kimble:
I am writing in regard to a city lot located in Radle's Hilltop Addition directly behind my
lot. I have highlighted the lot on the enclosed map.
I am aware that the City acquired the Radle's Hilltop Addition lots through tax forfeiture
for park land. In the twelve years we have ovrned the adjacent property, only recently has
the City mowed the vacant lots and we are not aware of any plans to develop this property
for park land.
I am interested in purchasing a portion of Lot #4 which adjoins my property for the
purpose of building a garage. Please consider my request and let me know how I should
proceed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer \L. 'If v
DATE: February 16, 1996
SUBJECT: Request for Feasibility Study of Hazel Street Storm Sewer
DISCUSSION
Attached is a letter from the SWCD which identifies an erosion problem between Hazel Street
and Brown's Creek. Apparently there has been significant bank erosion on Brown's Creek and
upon investigation of the area the DNR has discovered that there is significant erosion in one of
the ravines between Hazel Street and Brown's Creek. City staffhas investigated this site and
found that a storm pipe under Hazel Street discharges into a ravine and now this ravine is
experiencing significant bank erosion. Currently it appears that there are shear walls of exposed
soil over ten feet high indicating that serious erosion is occurring in this area. This problem has
gone beyond a simple maintenance issue, therefore, a feasibility study of the erosion and storm
water situation is warranted.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council pass a resolution ordering the engineer to prepare a report to study
the Hazel Street area erosion and storm water problem.

RE: Gully Erosion north of Hazel St.
Dear Mr. Eckles:
As you aware, a large gully exists along the north side of Hazel Street within the City of Stillwater. The gully
was identified in the November 22, 1995 letter to the City of Stillwater from Peter Leete, Minnesota Department e
of Natural Resources, Division of Waters, The Brown's Creek Watershed Management Organization
(BCWMO) Board is requesting that the City of Stillwater evaluate the Hazel Street gully problem and develop a
plan for its restoration to reduce or eliminate sediment from entering Brown's Creek. While there are probably
many sources of sediment that reach Brown's Creek, the Hazel Street gully is one readily identified source that
can be eliminated. In addition, it is requested that the City of Stillwater provide information on the gully
restoration plan for the April, 1996 WMO meeting.
The Washington Soil and Water Conservation District is available to provide technical assistance with possible
solutions for the Hazel Street gully. Also, state cost funds may be available, through our office, for the
implementation of any improvement for this area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
4~

DATE: February 16, 1996
SUBJECT: Eagle Ridge Trail Sidewalk Feasibility Study
DISCUSSION
City Staff and Council has been working with residents in the Eagle Ridge Trail area looking for
methods of addressing traffic and pedestrian problems in the neighborhood. One issue which has
been discussed is the possibility of constructing a sidewalk to serve the neighborhood. If the
council chooses to explore this issue further a feasibility study is warranted.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council discuss this issue to determine whether a feasibility study is
warranted at this time. If council deems the feasibility study warranted, I recommend the City
Council pass a resolution directing the engineer to prepare a feasibility study on sidewalk
improvements to the Eagle Ridge Trail area.

Mr. Don Valsvik
Trinity Lutheran Church
115 No. 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Don:
The City will begin the City Hall expansion/remodeling project on or about March 15, 1996. It
has recently come to my attention that the total parking area behind City Hall will be used for
storage of construction equipment and material (except for the Police and Fire parking areas
which will be left intact and not encumbered by the construction). It appears that the parking area
will not be available for regular parking use for about 10 to 12 months. Therefore, I am
requesting, on behalf of the City, that City staff and visitors be allowed to use some area of the
Trinity lot. I would assume that this area would be somewhere in the northwest quadrant of the
lot. I realize that there may be days when the use by the City would conflict with the use by the
Church. However, I will work diligently to minimize the impact we would have on the lot and
would cooperate to the full extent possible to ensure that all Church activities will go on as
before.
.
Please let me know what your position will be in regards to the City's request. And thank you in
advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
~ J~I' ' '.

Ms. Connie Adams and Mr. Tom Thueson

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Connie:
Thank you for submitting the documentation for maintenance of the parking lot for the 1995
year. Your total costs submitted to the city in the amount of $9851.43 have been deducted from
the parking fees due the city as shown below.
Section (g) of the agreement also provides for adjustments to the parking rate at the rate
approved for other city lots, Therefore the calculation of parking permits for 1995 would be
adjusted for the increase effective on June 1, 1995 to $10.00 per month.
Jan - May 1995
161 stalls @ $5 month/5 months = $4,025.00
June - Dec 1995
161 stalls @ $10 month/7 months = $11.270.00
Total Parking permit fees
$15,295.00
Less: your maintenance costs
($9.851.43)
Balance due to the city
$5.443,57
An invoice in the amount of $5,443.57 in attached for your use and payment. Thank you,
Sincerely,
~~~4ou

Hot Topics
Tobacco vote will be close: Your call
could be the key
The vote on the House floor regarding the Local Government Tobacco
Pre-emption bill (H.E 108/S.F. 558) will be close. On Thursday, both
sides claimed to have the votes necessary to prevail. We believe that
these representatives either firmly oppose, or are leaning against, the
League's position that local control should be allowed: I. Anderson;
Betterman; Boudreau; Bradley; Brown; Cooper; Daggett; Davids; Dehler;
Delmont; Erhardt; Frerichs; Girard; Hackbarth; Holsten: Jennings; V.
Johnson; Kinkel; Kraus; Lynch; Macklin; Mares; McElroy; Milbert; Ness;
M. Olson; Osskopp; Pellow; Perlt; Rice; Rukavina; Sarna; Smith;
Solberg; Sviggum; Tomassoni; Van Engen; Vickerman and; Wolf.
We are not sure of the position of Representatives Dawkins;
Dempsey; Dorn; Gunther; Huntley; B. Johnson; Koppendrayer; Lindner;
Mahon; Osthoff; Pelowski; Wenzel and; Worke.
We think the other Representatives will support an amendment
favoring the League position to allow stricter local regulation. If your
Representative is listed above, contact them and urge them to support
cities by deleting the pre-emption section. Please be courteous: while
we think our information is accurate, if we have made a mistake we don't
want to so alienate a legislator that they vote against our position.
Omnibus liquor bill could affect river cities
The response to last week's action alert regarding a Section of the
omnibus liquor bill (section five of the engrossed version of H.F.
2590) that would effectively force a reduction in the amount of on-sale
liquor license fees which cities could impose on bars and taverns has
been impressive. We appreciate your involvement and encourage you to
again contact your state representatives. If you can secure a commit-
ment to delete the licensing section, please let us KnoW.
Another section of the bill should be reviewed by cities with tour boat
operations on the 81. Croix or Mississippi Rivers. Under current law, the
state can issue tour boat liquor licenses for Lake Superior businesses.
The omnibus liquor bill broadens that authority to 81. Croix and Missis-
sippi River tour boats. The license would authorize liquor sales between
May 1 and October 1 and would impose a state license fee of $1000.
The bill would prohibit local fees, but halt of the state tee would go to the
city that is the home port of the tour boat, or to the county if the home
port is outside a city. The bill would also repeal a provision in current law
that allows cities to charge a fee if a tour boat is moored for three con-
secutive months. The League has indicated to several legislators that
we do not have a position on tour boat licensing provisions.
Sales taxlHACA trade?
A trail balloon rose late Friday
afternoon that would eliminate
the state sales tax on toealgov-
ernment purchases in exchange
for a cut in HACA. While the
details are sketchy, the proposal
apparently would be revenue-
neutral for each city.
Although the cut in HACA
would be permanent, the benefit
from the sales tax exemption
could grow over time.
The League does not have a
speciflc policy, and we would like
your input. What is your reaction .
to this proposal? Please contact
Gary Carlson at (612) 281-1255'
or (800) 925-1122.
Mayoral recall expected
to pass Senate
The full Senate is expected to
approve legislation authorizing
the recall of mayors either Friday
or Monday. S,F. 1789 (Johnston),
would allow the removal of a
mayor by recall election if onough
registered voters petitions in favor
of the recall, and if the mayor is
found to have either acted unlaw-
fUlly or in a wrongful manner in
performing official duties or has
failed to carry out specific required
duties as mayor.
The bill was recommended to. i
pass on a voice vote on General
Orders Thursday, February 15.
The House currently is not consid-
ering similar legislation.

The Cable Commission found that there were some funds remaining at
the end of our 1995 fiscal year and we are happy to be able to pay
off the remainder of the $15,000 loan from the City of Stillwater.
We are very thankful that the City helped us out by making this
loan possible.
Sincerely,
