Memorandum To: Mayor and Council From: City Administrator Hansen Subject: Library ExpansionlRemodeling Date: May 2, 2002 At the February 19,2002 City Council meeting staff was directed to work with the library task force on resolving issues identified in their report. Specifically the issues related to parking concerns, operating cost of an expanded facility, and financial capabilities. I am please to report to you that based upon estimates developed by Dave MacGillivray and I, the project is financially feasible. The project would however come with an impact to the taxpayer and may also affect the city's ability to fund other worthwhile projects. Attached to this Memorandum please find the following: A.

However, council decision/direction is needed in the near future as the library needs to get on the agenda of the various funding organizations. !X(Jv;dJ2h<<~~ _ . . . COLLABORATIVE DesignGroUp,inc. s 5 April 2002 Architecture Engineering Interiors Planning Larry Hansen, City Administrator City of Stillwater 216 N. Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Re; Civic District Parking Overview Revised 4/5/02 Larry: As requested I have done a strategic-level analysis of what parking options are available to the City in the Civic campus neighborhood, roughly from Myrtle to Mulberry Streets and from North Third to a block west of City Hall- more or less to the base of the bluff. Note that these are planning estimates for decision-making and feasibility purposes only, rather than actual bid prices, All options are based on my schematic layouts of the specific sites, The results can be summarized as follows; 1, City Hall Northwest site Structured parking alternative; The most efficient structure would be a sloped-floor ramp, with entry and exit points at the lower level (existing City Hall north lot) and upper level (Mulberry Street). A three-plane or four-plane ramp would fit, depending on the desired capacity, I assume, due to the hidden nature of this site, that cladding and finish can be minimized, At the proposed sizes, it is likely this ramp could be built either as a post-tensioned or as a precast structure with no significant trade-offs in pricing or durability. Other basic elements include; modern lighting and security system, one elevator in an enclosed lobby; two stairs (one enclosed and one open), etc. It is also likely that some amount of surface parking would remain - perhaps up to ten spaces. . A three-plane ramp would have a capacity of 78 cars. Likely cost would range between $780,000 and $856,000, plus site improvements such as landscaping etc. to be determined. . A four-plane ramp would have a capacity of 104 cars. Likely cost range is $1 million to $1.3 million, again plus site improvements such as landscaping etc. . Both these options could be constructed without extending above the level of Mulberry Street. Improvements to existing surface lot (without ramp): The existing lot could be improved and upgraded to increase its capacity and user-friendliness. I would suggest a program including curb and gutter, signage, top coating, landscaping, relocation and enclosure of the dumpsters, and striping, Most important would be the addition of adequate lighting, a security call station, and a proper stairway leading back up to Fourth Street (I do not include a separate elevator tower), Based on these parameters, the lot would have a capacity of approximately 40 cars; likely costs for these improvements would be in the range of $55,000 to $65,000, Affnna'uve Action, Equal Opportumty Employer 1501 Washington Avenue South, Suite 300 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454 t 612.332.3654 [332.3626 www.collaborativedesigngroup.com . . 2. City Hall Northeast site Examination of this potential site indicates that it would hold a surface lot of 30 cars, with entry/exit from the existing curb cut north of City Hall and from Mulberry Street. Assuming that no retaining walls are needed, this site could be developed with curb and gutter, lighting, and security for a likely cost range of $55,000 to $65,000. . Acquisition is likely to add between $250,000 and $350,000 to the costs of developing this site, Relocation or demolition of the structure would be an additional +/-$20,000. Modest landscaping for the finished facility can be estimated at approximately $8,000. This means the aggregate cost to pursue this option is likely to be between $333,000 and $443,000, 3. Expanded Library building . The lower level parking options that we have explored allow for up to 50 stalls (each) on two levels, As an in-building structure with fairly high-level finish needs, costs for this component would be proportionately higher than the City Hall Northwest structure, I have included the appropriate elevator / stair / lighting / security allowances, The Library's specific needs would require one level of in-building parking (plus ancillary surface parking), Currently, the Library's planning budget carries an allowance of $1 million for this component. . As a possible resource for the parking needs of the larger City Hall Neighborhood, I have examined the feasibility and consequences of adding the second level. As currently envisioned, the two levels would not have connecting circulation, requiring patrons to return to North Third Street to move between floors. This allows a higher number of cars to be parked, and lowers the construction cost. It does require an additional curb curt, entry, ete. As the design progresses it will be advisable to re-examine this strategy and ensure that it remains valid and appropriate, To date, the Library's planning budget has carried $1 million for one level of in-building parking (50 stalls). This is a somewhat generous allowance, reflecting the high level of design and finish needed. Revisiting this in light of a two-level proposal, and with an eye to minimizing the costs, I have assumed that the exterior portions of the ramp are clad in a high-level precast panel (rather than brick), It is also assumed that a minimal amount of ventilation is required - this may mean, for example, that the ramp portion of the building is not "enclosed" but that openings are treated with ornamental grilles, etc, For budgeting purposes, the two-level ramp as outlined is likely to fall in the $1.2 million -$1.5 million range. This is a minimal-expectation sort of number; it's important that the ramp match the building in level of finish and image. It's worth noting that this has the benefit of shifting approximately $300,000 of cost out of the budget for the Library building proper, as the ramp would provide the footings and foundations for the expansion, . We have examined the feasibility of developing the east lawn of the Library into a terraced system of surface lots, While possible, I don't think this is feasible for a number of reasons: assuming the expansion proceeds, only a few (approx. 24) stalls could be constructed; the cost to do so would be relatively high . . . . ($78,000 - $96,000) due to the retaining walls and other earthwork required; the parking created would have substantial change-in-elevation issues for users heading toward the Library; and this would remove the east lawn as public green / open space. 4. Library Northeast site Examination of this potential site with its present boundaries indicates that it would hold a surface lot of 16 cars, with entry/exit from the existing driveway (vacated Mulberry Street). Assuming that no retaining walls are needed, this site could be developed with curb and gutter,lighting, security, and modest landscaping for a likely cost range of $32,000 to $45,000. If some of the existing, adjoining, unoccupied sub-parcels were assembled as part of the project, the car count could rise as high as 30. I believe that aquiring these subparcels is unlikely as, though legally separate, in practical terms they are integral with the a4joining properties. . Acquisition is likely to add between $200,000 and $275,000 to the costs of developing this site. Demolition of the structure would be an additional +/-$20,000. Landscaping the finished facility can be estimated at approximately $6,000, This means the aggregate cost to pursue this option is likely to be between $258,000 and $348,000. EVALUATION From the point of view of the Library's needs, the various options can be ranked in order of benefit as follows: I, Library In-building Ramp (One Level). This meets the Library's needs most effectively. The Library's patron parking demand would indicate building one level of parking (not two). This is also what has been carried in the Library's planning budgets; two levels would be beyond the present funding structure without additional outside dollars. I recommend that the two-level option not be pursed unless in can serve the larger needs of the City Hall neighborhood. For the record, two levels would have no adverse effect on the Library's operation should additional funding be secured. 2. City Hall Northeast Site. As a street level, highly visible facility closest to our front door, this option would be next most beneficial to the Library. However, its smaller capacity, and need for patrons to cross the street in traffic and weather conditions that can be intimidating, makes it much less preferable than option number one. 3. City Hall Northwest Site. While this option would be of use to some Library patrons, it is more remote and less visible than the Northeast Site, and would be expected to be filled with City Hall destined users, While it would be a significant resource for City Hall, it would not be of substantial use to the Library 4. Library Northeast Site. This option, though close to the Library, would have difficult-to-find access and limited capacity, It would have grade-related pedestrian access issues as well, It would be least able to meet the Library's needs, . . . . I have done conceptual layouts of each site - let me know if you would like a copy of the sketches, I'd be pleased to do a more focused examination of any of the sites that seem worth pursuing, This will be necessary to develop more specific costing information, when the time comes. I have attached a first-pass overall project schedule based on our recent discussions and the Library's planning work. Please review this and let me know what you think Talk to you soon - Very truly yours, ,Inc. gvA William D.

We have prepared the following statement about projected operating costs due to the expansion. Please remember that the library's budget must grow to meet the needs of an increased population whether or not the building is expanded. We have not included any increases based on population growth in these figures. The proposed renovation and expansion project will more than double the library's space. Even with this significant expansion, however, the library's annual operating costs are expected to increase only slightly. Using the 2002 operating budget as a base, operating costs are projected to increase in the range of$125,800 to $132,700, a 15.4% to 16.2% percent raise. This increase is equivalent to an additional 1.65% ofthe City's operating costs in 2002 dollars - with the assumption that there is no rise in other City costs. It is likely that the equivalent of 2.6 full-time employees would be added, most likely in the form of additional part-time employees. Although the building will more than double in size, heating, cooling, and lighting costs are expected to increase only 85% as there will be significant efficiencies in both the new and existing spaces. The library's annual collection materials budget has been slightly under $100,000 for a number of years. Materials consist of books, magazines, newspapers, compact discs, audio and video cassettes, DVDs, etc. We propose that the materials budget will be increased only slightly, to meet post-expansion, opening day demand. The acquisition of new materials will otherwise occur gradually, filling the new shelves over a period of years, to meet the needs of a steadily increasing population. The Board of Trustees hopes to establish a meaningful endowment program, as well as an annual campaign, and expand the fundraising ofFriends@StillwaterPublic Library. The goal would be to have income from the endowment and annual campaign donations fund significant additions of materials to the library's collections. This additional funding would ease the burden of increased operating costs on the tax levy. . . . STILL WATER PUBLIC LIBRARY Projection Post-Expansion Operating Costs In the absence of a schedule for the expansion project, the following projected operating costs have been figured in 2002 dollars. After an expansion project, libraries are usually faced with higher operating costs. This is due in part to the increased size of the building, but also to increased usage. The size of the increase, depending as it does on many factors, is not predictable. In the case of the Stillwater Public Library, which already has good penetration into its service territory, one would not expect huge increases in use (i.e. more than 40%). The figures provided here were computed using 25% as the upper limit for any immediate increase in use. However, usage is expected to increase steadily with population growth. I. The primary operating budget items that would be affected by increased space - and its configuration - are personnel (building maintenance and other), janitorial supplies, insurance, utilities, and maintenance agreements: · Additional 20 hours/week of building maintenance personnel costs* $19,000 · Increased function, supervision, and efficiency in personnel at Circulation Desk* $36,000 · Additional janitorial supplies $2,800 - 3,800 · Insurance increases $6,500 - 10,600 · Increased utility costs $18,700 - 20,500 · Increased maintenance agreement costs $8,800 TOTAL - $91,800 - 98,700 (or 1.25 percent of City of Stillwater's 2002 budget) II. The operating budget items that would be affected by increased use due to post-expansion attention and excitement (not population growth) include personnel, materials, and programmmg: · Additional 18 hours/week of shelver time* $8,000 · Additional Information Desk staffing* $12,000 · Additional Programming $2,000 . Additional library materials $12,000 TOTAL -$34,000 (or 0.4 percent of the City of Stillwater's 2002 budget) *Includes salaries and applicable benefits 3/02 . Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Larry Hansen, City Administrator !/J Steve Russell, Community Development Director It..---- April 29, 2002 Outstanding Capital Projects Needing City Funding As requested, this memo describes projects that staff continues to work on that may require city capital funding in full or in part as a projects. An estimate of cost is provided to give an idea of the possible need for city funds. 1. Downtown Railroad Right of Way. Staffhas been working on purchase of the remaining railroad right of way through downtown and it seems to be coming to a head. It is likely the opportunity to purchase will be available in the next six months. Without an appraisal, it is estimated the cost is in the million dollar range. . 2. Community Training Center. With the recent change in priorities at the federal level and reports from Mr. Cain, it appears the long sought after federal funding for the community training center may be forthcoming. If federal funding is authorized, between $1 and $2 million would be needed to pay the city's share of the community center project. As previously estimated, the old armory would be available for city purchase as a Community Arts Center or for some other public use for $250,000 - $500,000 with additional possible funding for refurbishing to match nonprofit sources. 3. Downtown Parking Structure. A 380 space downtown parking structure is being proposed as part of the UBC/2nd Street Project. TIF Funds and proceeds from the UBC site sale could be used to pay for this parking structure. Even with these sources, additional capital funds may be needed to construct the parking structure (estimate $1 million). 4. Phase III Levee Wall. An appropriation for Phase III levee wall has been approved by congress but additional federal appropriation is needed. To match the federal grant, local funds will need to be provided for the project. Some of this can be credited through in kind services and land purchases. Nevertheless, $500,000 to $1 million maybe required as local contribution. 5. Lowell Park! Aiple Property Park. Both of these sites need capital outlay to be improved. To date, $400,000 has been set aside for Lowell Park. Based on the plans for the two parks, several million dollars is needed to improve the parks. . The above projects, along with the library, are all worthy of council consideration. With limited resources, choices will have be made on which ones will proceed. . . .

Stillwater Public Library Proposed Facility Upgrade and Expansion February 2002 STILLWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY 223 N. Fourth Sf. Stillwater MN 55082 651.439.1675 . Stillwater Public Library Proposed Facility Upgrade and Expansion The fundraising feasibility study for the Library's expansion project has been completed. The history of the project, the findings of the study, and the next steps in the project follow below: HISTORY January 1999 -- A Decisions Resources Survey of Library Users found: · 64% supported higher property taxes to fund library services · 85% favored expansion of existing building rather than a new facility. September 2000 -- David R. Smith, a nationally recognized library consultant, evaluated space and resource requirements. He found: · Immediate need for an additional 1 0,000 square feet · Additional 9,000 square feet to serve community through 2020, when Stillwater is . expected to be "built out." October 2000 -- Concept plans and preliminary cost budgets were developed: · Increase Library's size from 13,200 to 32,200 square feet · Provide 50 additional parking spaces · Preliminary budget Renovation of historic structure New Construction Site work, fees, furniture, contingency SUBTOTAL $1,518,000 3,515,000 2,879,000 $7,912,000 Underground parking TOTAL $1,050,000 $8,962,000 June 2001 - The Library Board envisioned funding as a partnership: · Commitment of City and taxpayers · Private contributions from foundations and individuals July 2001 - The Library engaged D.A. Petersen and Associates, Inc., to conduct feasibility study to evaluate potential for private support. . September 2001 -- Community leaders were invited to participate in one of three meetings to identify appropriate candidates for feasibility study and potential contributors to a campaign; 40 were selected for interviews, of which 38 agreed. . October 2001 - January 2002 -- Thirty-eight interviews were conducted: · Four Library Board Members · Nine foundation trustees · Twenty-four civic leaders · One development professional KEY OUTCOMES OF FEASIBILITY STUDY 1. The interviewees identified these image issues: · Library is an important and comprehensive educational service · Foundations find that it is important to preserve the quality and values of community and express strong support for library as integral part of Stillwater · All but three interviewees believe the library's role as educationallinformational provider will increase in the future · Interviewees were unanimous that the library should maintain its independence as a municipal library and resist integration into the county system . 2. The interviewees voiced these leadership issues: · Staff received "high marks" as being experienced, professional, courteous, and knowledgeable · One Board member was identified as a proven leader with the experience and ability to be the driving force behind a campaign with two other Board Members having name recognition; also, numerous civic leaders have offered to serve on a fundraising committee 3. The study also found these perceptions ofthe expansion as a philanthropic project: · Due to limited fund raising activity, it is no surprise that library has not previously been identified as a "charity of choice" · Challenges will be (a) to establish the library as a top charitable cause for a targeted donor constituency and (b) to recruit a steering committee of committed and effective volunteers who will allocate significant dollars and time to a campaign 4. Interviewees gave us advice about the Preliminary Case Statement and campaign feasibility: · Preliminary Case Statement elicited unanimous support for expansion . · Critical issues that must be resolved and included in the final Case Statement are: . Case document requires further development of facts and statistics Case document must include a funding commitment from City Case document must include a resolution of the parking issue . Timing is key: Everyone favored a 2003 launch date · Interviewees believed our goal can be attained: Everyone expressed confidence that a reasonable goal was achievable Campaign steering committee and fundraising counsel are needed 5. Summary: · Thirty-three of thirty-eight interviewees expressed willingness to contribute to a library campaign and discussed an approximate range of gift with aggregate indications of support in a range between $2.7 and $3.0 million . Twenty individuals are willing to serve in a campaign leadership role · Majority of interviewees identified others who have the capacity to make significant donations and provide leadership . THE BOTTOM LINE: . D.A. Petersen and Associates recommends that a campaign in the range of $4.0 million be approved and prepared in 2002 and conducted during 2003 and 2004 WHAT'S NEXT? · City Council and Library Board Adopt Partnership · Agree on a Parking Proposal · Library Board of Trustees commits to a $4.0 million campaign goal, contingent of City funding · City commits to funding of $5.0 million (including $1.0 million for parking) subject to Library Board raising $4.0 million . City and Library Board make commitments in 2002 and agree to 2003-2004 schedule for fundraising A 2003 fundraising "launch" requires that campaign be ready by Fall 2002. One major foundation is requesting a proposal at its spring 2002 meeting. .

I LIBRARY ORGANIZATION: The Stillwater Public Library (SPL) is a unit of local government as created by the Statutes of Minnesota and thereby qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under 501(c) (3) ofthe Internal Revenue Code. SPL is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees that is appointed by the Stillwater Mayor and City Council. HISTORY: 2002 marks the 100th year since the groundbreaking for the Stillwater Public Library. Throughout Stillwater's rich past, encompassing times of hardship, prosperity and transition the library has continued to be a provider of services that have enhanced the cultural and educational experiences of the town residents. In 1901 Stillwater received two grants from Andrew Carnegie totaling $27,500, the fifth largest Carnegie grant made to Minnesota. Patton and Miller, a Chicago architectural firm, designed the building, and the first cornerstone was laid in November of 1902. The new 7,300 square foot facility opened in December of 1903 with a collection of 8,000 volumes. Stillwater Public Library is one of only a few Carnegie libraries nationwide that has preserved both its original structure and use over the years. In the early 1970's, the population of Stillwater and the surrounding area experienced rapid growth, and space became a crucial issue for the library due to increased demand for services. The Margaret Rivers Foundation funded a 5,556 square foot addition that was designed by Ackerman and Associates of St Paul. In 1987, a major renovation and reorganization took place necessitated by population growth; the proliferation of library programs; the addition of new material types; the requirement for handicap accessibility; and the need to redistribute functions within the building. Public funds provided through the City of Stillwater were used to finance the construction and renovation. Meyer, Scherer and Rockcastle, Ltd., of Minneapolis designed the project which won two major awards, The American Library Association / American Institute of Architects Award of Excellence in 1991 and the Minnesota Society American Institute of Architects Honor Award in 1992, The Stillwater Public Library has been featured in two national publications, Library Journal (1987) and American Libraries (1990). 2 I I. I I I 'I I I I Ie I I I I I I I ,. I POPULATION GROWTH: Although funded entirely by Stillwater property taxes, SPL is heavily used by nine additional communities, each projected to experience rapid growth during the next decade. Washington County grew by 31 % from 1990-1999, the fourth fastest growth rate in Minnesota and the 104th fastest nationwide. The age groups showing the most dramatic growth during that time period were those 5-17, growing at 42%,45-64, growing at 72% and the over 65 population, growing at 40%. Historically, these groups have proven to be the most frequent users of library services. The Stillwater area has been in a period of sustained growth for the past decade. Additionally, as homes are built in the newly annexed portions of the city, the rate of population growth will increase. The socioeconomic demographic profiles for these housing developments predict that the new residents are likely to be heavy library users. The Metropolitan Council conducted a study in 2000 on population growth through 2020. The chart below identifies those growth areas that heavily utilize the Stillwater Public Library.

I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I I. I SERVING THE COMMUNITY: Since 1985, library circulation has increased by 41 %. Currently 11,000 Stillwater residents hold library cards, 73% of total residents. In 2000, 150,000 people from the Stillwater community and surrounding area entered the library and checked out 233,237 items and people accessed the catalog from remote locations in excess of 10,000 times. Nearly 4,000 children and parents attended a variety of family programs; staff answered over 15,000 reference questions; and 330 public gatherings were held in library meeting rooms. The library's committed staff and volunteers provide highly personalized and professional services. Whether it's answering questions by phone, assisting a student with homework assignments or reading to youngsters the library is an important information hub, expanding the opportunities for learning to people of all ages. Library Collections: The library has approximately 70,000 books; 3,500 compact discs and audio tapes; 2,800 videotapes; and subscriptions to 310 periodicals displayed and archived in its 13,200 square foot building. Reflecting a commitment to lifelong learning, the library staff provides weekly storytelling and reading programs for children. The library also delivers materials to the homebound and to nursing homes and sponsors educational programming and workshops. Access to fast reliable information is the great equalizer in today's world, and it is important to the empowerment and quality of life of individuals and communities. The Stillwater Public Library provides around the clock access to the library's computer catalog and reference materials that literally places learning at a person's fingertips 24 hours a day. 4 I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I .e I Partnering with Schools and Families: "I mostly go to the library for fun. Like when I was little, I went to story-time and never wanted to leave; it was so much fun. I think the library is cool because it's the only place that's good in many things." - A fourth grade student ~ view The Stillwater Public Library is a vital community resource, working with over 40 agencies, organizations and businesses within the community to provide resources and public programming. The single largest collaborator is Independent School District 834. Through programs such as: the Early Childhood Family Education Program, which strengthens the parent/child relationship through reading; the Learning Readiness Program; and the Young Authors Program, the library opens the world of books and learning to adults and young people alike. Through the Summer Reading Program, library staff works with youngsters to establish reading goals and to select books commensurate with the individual's reading level. Recently SPL staff obtained a grant from the state to support the school district's efforts to upgrade the databases for the junior and senior high schools. The success of this project allows the community and the student electronic access to school library catalogs and greatly enriches the educational experience for boys and girls of high school age. Working with the County: Conscious of cost, SPL has a contract with the Washington County Library for the joint development and provision of services. The libraries have developed a centralized catalog of holdings that keep infrastructure costs for SPL to a minimum. The county also provides certain services to the city for a fee. These include cataloging, the processing of materials, delivery and automated services. The relationship also allows SPL to participate in MELSA, the regional library system that provides for reciprocal borrowing. 5 I I- I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I ,- I THE FUTURE ROLE OF LIBRARIES: Public Libraries are gearing up for their vital role in an increasingly connected and information- driven world. Community leaders recognize that the task will require public and private partnerships to adequately support these important institutions. In recent years, numerous communities, both large and small, have invested in building projects or major renovations to house new or expanded services and collections to better meet the emerging need for both current and broader choices of materials. To carry out this significant transformation, public libraries are: · Incorporating new technologies such as on-line catalogs and reference materials and computer links to remote sites in the community. · Diversifying collections to include materials in different formats. · Diversifying services to include information searches on the Internet, technical assistance for the library's computer users, automated telephone renewal and other on-line services. · Serving a more diverse constituency. Currently only 15% of American households have computers with online access. Although the Internet provides public access to information often it is expensive, unreliable and difficult to locate. In contrast libraries provide both access and reliable information at no charge. Equipped with books, periodicals, off-line electronic databases and online services and staffed by professionals, the library is still a community's best source of information. The increased reliance on computers and constantly changing databases creates both the need for more space and training for the public and staff alike. In addition, libraries are faced with maintaining and storing multiple formats i.e" books on tape, books on CD, video tapes, DVD'S as well as more traditional materials such as books, periodicals etc. 6 I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I .. I THE PROJECT Preserving an Architectural Treasure: America's Carnegie libraries are rapidly becoming endangered species replaced by larger impersonal structures that fail to invoke hospitality and a sense of community. Of the 1,689 Carnegie libraries built, only 772 are still in use as public libraries, and nearly 300 have been razed. Many of these institutions have in some instances met their fate due to the lack of land for expansion, urban renewal or simply changing fashion. Stillwater has not succumbed to expediency, instead remaining steadfast in its resolve to preserve its cultural centerpiece. The library, the oldest city owned building, is a civic legacy and has been a recognized symbol of Stillwater for a full century. During its history, several renovations have blended the old with the new, successfully preserving the library's warmth, elegance, and architectural integrity. The Stillwater Public Library is a beautiful example of the Beaux Arts architectural style, (used frequently in Carnegie projects), that includes a majestic stone columned entrance, handmade stained glass windows, ornate mosaic floors and elegant oak mantled fireplaces. The pillared and domed rotunda reverberates the timeless reverence bestowed upon this institution of learning. Strengthening Services and Programs: The time has again arrived when expansion and renewal are required if the library is to remain a valued city asset and meet the ever increasing demands of its residents and neighboring communities. To fulfill its mission, SPL must develop collections and provide the facility that meets the population's varied learning styles. The shortage of adequate space to accommodate library users and display materials has reached critical proportion. Limited space has forced staff to maintain a " one book in, one book out" policy that compromises both the quality and depth of the collections. Also, the meeting room, used by residents of Stillwater over 330 times last year for various functions is at risk. Archived collections and new materials will displace this public area if more space is not provided. The quality of the space is as important as the square footage. It must be flexible, easily maintained and suited to modern library practices. It should offer comfort and have appropriate amenities. The renewed library should have a sense of dignity and character that befits such an integral part of the community and be in keeping with the original architectural design. 7 I I. I I I I I I I I. I I I I I ,I I -. I I The Stillwater Public Library will require an additional 19,000 square feet of space for the projected increase in programs and to accommodate the civic organizations, institutions and businesses that utilize the meeting facilities. For efficiency and quality of service to the public, the local history collections will be integrated into the operation of the Information Desk. The aging population in Washington County is growing and will require more outreach programs that take services to other locations. SPL will require space for the creation and implementation of these programs. A successful project will increase the library's size from 13,200 to 32,200 square feet to accommodate a 75% increase in the collections, a doubling of computer tenninals, additional meeting rooms and larger reference areas. Individual seating will increase by 72%, eliminating the overlap of functions that have proven to be distracting and irritating to library patrons. The addition of a group study area offers dedicated space for school age kids to congregate and prepare homework assignments, providing them the benefit of a collaborative learning experience. A new storytelling room will house the toddler and bedtime programs that stimulate the imaginations of children, ages 3-8, exposing them to the wonders of the written word. In addition, a terrace is planned that would be built on the upper level off the back of the library. This outdoor area will be the most spectacular public space in Stillwater. It will provide superb river views and serve as a quiet retreat for patrons wishing to take a time-out or browse the library collections. This added public area will be ideally suited for public and private functions, creating yet another dimension to this unique city resource. Included in this project are long overdue improvements to the existing building. These include a complete upgrade of the HVAC system, a new roof and the rewiring the entire facility. (See floor plan Exhibits A, B and C.) 8 I I. I I I I I I I I. I I I I I I I ,. I Project Planning and Needs Assessment: Over the past two years, the Stillwater Public Library Board of Directors and staff, with the support of the City Council, formulated a strategic plan that supports a mission of meeting the broader community's learning needs. In 2000, David R. Smith, a nationally recognized library consultant, was hired to evaluate the space and resource requirements for SPL. A thorough evaluation that included usage, population growth and current and future community needs was conducted in conjunction with an architectural review of the facilities condition. It was determined that the library had an immediate need for 10,000 square feet in order to meet existing demand and a need for an additional 9,000 square feet to adequately serve the community of Stillwater through 2020. These recommendations are modest when compared to similar libraries in the region. And they are on the conservative side of national standards for public libraries in communities the size of Stillwater. The Board has conducted regional peer comparisons to help verify the expected level of construction for the renewed library, These comparisons have helped confirm the direction and priorities of this project. The Board considered at length a number of options for providing adequate facilities for the library, These options included branch and kiosk strategies that were rejected because of patron preference, increased staffing costs, logistical difficulties and high construction costs per square foot. Studies determined that the existing site remains the most widely supported and appropriate place for the library's home, A recent survey showed that 64% of users supported higher property taxes to fund library services and 85% favored the expansion of the existing building over the construction of a new facility. Addressed in this study was the question of adequate parking for both the current and expanded use of the library. Both "onsite" and "offsite" options are proposed as potential remedies to the parking problem. They are as follow: · Onsite- Due to limited space, parking would have to be underground. Two levels of parking would be constructed to meet library needs, and serve the needs of the community and local businesses. However, the cost would be substantial, and the board would not be able to recommend this option without substantial outside funding. · Off site- This option benefits the library and downtown area as well. Funding improvements to an existing parking lot north of City Hall would increase capacity at a substantially lesser cost than the proposed underground parking. 9 I I. I I I I I I I I. I I I I I I I .. I CONSTRUCTION BUDGET: Preliminary budgets have been completed based on the projected square foot requirements. It is important to note that this budget is for planning purposes only and does not reflect an actual contractor's bid. Architectural documents and cost estimates will be developed concurrently allowing for constant feedback on both design and fiscal planning. To provide a framework of reference for this renewal! expansion project, a Greenfield scenario (new construction) has been developed. An appropriate vacant parcel of land was identified and its listing price coupled with the cost per square foot numbers of recent local construction projects were used to develop cost comparisons.

I I I I I I I I. I I I I I I I .. I REMAINING A MUNICIPAL LIBRARY: The two questions that arise each time the library faces a sizable project are, "Why is SPL independent of the county system?" and "Why can't Washington County pay for the project?" A merger was seriously investigated, discussed and rejected. spr;s Board of Directors is aware that larger organizations can benefit from economies of scale where smaller entities cannot. SPL has addressed this issue by contracting with the county library system to participate in shared quantity discounts, professional services and certain database technologies, In addition, SPL Board of Directors has weighed the benefits and limitations of a merger with the county. As the Stillwater Public Library was created by referendum, it would require like action to change its status and become a county program. Also, it would require special legislation to set aside some features of state statute in order for Stillwater residents to see any tax savings from such a merger. The library board also feels it is better able to make policy for Stillwater's unique characteristics than is the Washington County Library Board. As examples, there are fundamental differences in service philosophies and service provision that include children's services, local histories, community involvement and the preservation of the historic library facility. Indeed, there is reason to believe that as a branch of the WCL, space needs would be resolved by a new building away from the city center. In the final assessment, the Stillwater Board of Directors believes that the current relationship embodies the best of both worlds: economies of scale created through collaboration with WCL; and the ability to better meet the cultural, social and educational needs of the community preserved through autonomy. 11 I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I .e I A PARTNERSHIP: The Stillwater Public Library building was founded with private funding and over the years has been sustained and expanded through a combination of public and private partnerships. If this proposed project is to succeed, it will require the broad commitment of city government, the taxpayers and private contributors. The rapid growth of the Stillwater area coupled with the demands for public funds to repair an aging infrastructure has pushed the limits of the city's financing capacity. During recent meetings with city government officials, it became evident that without the assistance of private funding, this project in all likelihood would be delayed for at least seven to eight years, perhaps indefinitely. If postponed, the construction costs will increase significantly, and the facility, staff and collections will not be able to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand. Although the city can not make a specific financial commitment at this time, there is clear indication that should the library succeed in identifying significant philanthropic support, it is likely the project would receive the required financial backing from the city and in a timely fashion. Friends @ Stillwater Public Library, a group consisting of contributors and volunteers to SPL, and the Margaret Rivers Foundation provided a portion of the funding needed to conduct the preliminary planning and assessment for a capital campaign. D. A. Petersen Associates Inc. has been hired to prepare written materials describing the project and to conduct a feasibility study. Should the Board of Trustees elect to move forward with a campaign, professional counsel will be used to develop the strategic plan and a Capital Campaign Steering Committee recruited to spearhead the fund raising activities. 12 I I.

Notary Public 10 . . . Territorial Flace) LLC 6 West 5th Street, Suite 700 Saint F aul, MN 55 102 651.22).2860 651.22+.8)28 tax May 1, 2002 Mr. Steve Russell Community Development Director City of Stillwater City Hall 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Steve: This letter will update you on the status of Stillwater's historic Territorial Site development. Cognizant of the fact that the Preliminary Contract between the City and Shaw-Lundquist called for purchase of the site in April 2002, we are asking for a timeline extension, from the City, for a one year period - due to the following: 1. During an extensive due diligence period, we identified three areas requiring environmental clean-up that may qualifY for environmental grants from the state's Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) and the Met Council-- thus potentially reducing the amount ofTIF needed from the City, These three areas are: · Hazardous materials for the existing buildings . Storm water relief · Mediation of ground water contamination In addition, in our discussion with Met Council officials, we believe we have an opportunity to secure a Livable Communities Grant from them for this project, which wouldn't be available until later in 2002. Although the City has submitted, with our assistance, a May 1, 2002 Investigation Grant to DTED, we must wait until the November 1st grant submission to ask for the actual clean-up monies. Any clean-up work done prior to the date of submission cannot be part of the grant application. Therefore, it would help the development and the City to delay any clean-up until these grants are awarded. . 2, Robert Engstrom, who will take the lead in the rehab of the existing buildings, will be seeking historic tax credits and other sources of public financing, which are also dependent on cyclical budget processes which go through the end of 2002 and early 2003. If it proves that the environmental needs are not substantial and it does not warrant delaying this project to secure the clean-up grants, we still hold open the possibility of beginning construction on parts of this development this Fall, particularly the independent living senior product which will be at the northeast portion of the property adjacent to Main Street. As you will see below, Territorial place, LLC has made an extensive pre-development financial commitment to this site at no cost to the City. Such an investment would not have been made unless we were confident that this project would move forward. Ongoing Progress The Development Team has made tremendous progress in the past 90-days. Our due diligence has uncovered several pieces of information on the site that heretofore was unknown by the City. Below is the progress to date: . 1) The Development Team, initially consisting of Shaw Lundquist, 1. Buxell Architects, and Robert Engstrom Companies has formalized an LLC called Territorial Place LLC, I, representing The Sweeney Group, have joined the LLC and will serve as the Project Manager for the Development Team and as main contact with the City, J, Buxell Architecture will perform all of the site planning, architecture and landscape architecture on the site, Shaw-Lundquist Associates Inc. will be the construction manager and general contractor on the entire site and Robert Engstrom Companies and The Sweeney Group will be the actual developers for the existing buildings and new multi-family homes. T emtonal Place LLC will be the entity that will enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Stillwater. 2) Personal guarantees have been submitted to the City indemnifYing the City relating to the costs being incurred and soon to be incurred for predevelopment activities, To reiterate: these predevelopment costs, which could be up to $100,000 will be absorbed by the LLC. Ifin a worst-case scenario, the project does not go forward, the City will have all the data gathered at no cost. Weare making these expenditures because we feel confident that this project will move forward, The pre-development costs include the following: . * Allied Testing (Hydrological Studies) $25,000 . *Environmental Property Audits (HAZ/MA T) 2,500 . (Asbestos/Lead Paint) . * 106 Group - Archaeo logy Studies $12,000 . *BKBM - Civil Engineering $20,000 . . *Maxfield Research -- Housing Study * Survey * Legal Work $15,000 . . $10,000 3) Consultant Findings To Date: · Hydrology and Geotechnical: Our team has commissioned Allied Test Drilling Company to perform a comprehensive hydrological and geotechnical study of the site, Allied has been at work for almost three months and is near completion, Preliminary reports suggest that we should be able to drop the water table on the site to a depth, which will allow for underground parking, We have learned of at least two other issues that will affect our site plan. First, Allied has encountered a soft bedrock layer at depths of 4-8 feet at various points across the site. Second, the center of the site is very soft. (A IT ACHMENT A) . Structural Engineering: Our structural engineering consultant has concluded that the Warehouse Building roof is not structurally sound. He recommends that we remove the roof and replace. . Archeology: We now have an archeology consulting company as part of our development team, The 106 Group of Saint Paul has been retained to perform a report on the history and archeological potential of the site. They have also been coordinating with the State Historic Architect and State Archeologist. The 106 Group be on site to monitor any further geotechnical testing and will keep the City closely informed of project progress. Initial archeological research suggests that the archeological significance of the site may be in the southeast corner of the site. Please see ATTACHMENT B, a memorandum from the 106 Group, . . Environmental (HAZ/MA T): Environmental Property Audits of Anoka is expected to finish its analysis of asbestos and lead paint by May 5,2002. 4) The development team has attached the next generation of a site plan that we believe reflects further refinement of what the market will bear. The site could have 200 new housing units, with four or five different "products" and price points. The products would all be significantly different and would attract separate markets that could be built at the same time. Our changes include a slightly reduced the number of rental units in the two existing buildings from the initial site plan, creating Building #5 as an independent living senior development, and increased the open space in the southeast corner of the site to accommodate what appears to be an archeological significant area. Specifically, the products would be as follows: . . FACTORY BUILDING (#2): 62 Rental Units + 31 Covered Parking Spaces. Rental would allow us to utilize Historic Tax Credits. . · WAREHOUSE BUILDING (#2): II Townhomes (rental or ownership) + 87 Covered Parking Spaces, · NEW CONDOS (#3): 46 New Condos + approximately 72 Covered Parking Spaces. · INDEPENDENT LIVING SENIOR PRODUCT (#5): 48-60 units/80 Covered Parking Spaces. · ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE: In the southeast corner of the site near the entrance, we are now suggesting open space to accommodate respecting any possible significant archeological · ADDITIONAL UNITS (4): 28 additional Units could be built; either rental or ownership. This would probably be done at a future time, · POTENTIAL RETAIL/OFFICE: Any retail or office or additional housing near Main Street could include 6300 s.f. of commercial and 18,000 s,f. plus a possible Interpretive Center. . 5) Proposed Timeline: (If it is determined that the environmental clean-up costs are not significant enough to wait for the November 2002 grant cycle or that we could begin some construction without losing the opportunity to secure these grants, a Fall construction timeline will be reconsidered. ): .

A PROGRESS REPORT ALLIED TEST DRILLING COMPANY ACTIVITIES TERRITORIAL PRISON SITE STILLWATER MINNESOTA , APRIL 30, 2002 BACKGROUND The Territorial Prison Site is located at the north end of development in the City of Stillwater, Minnesota. The site occupies a hollowed out area west of Main Street across the street from a railroad station. The general sequence of development of the site is illustrated on two etchings of Stillwater from the 1870s. The first etching, titled 'Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota, 1870', shows what appears to be the original state the topography, filtered through the view of the etcher. Prior to J 870, the prison buildings were surrounded by a wooden stockade. The land appears to retain its original slope, with no steep drop from the surrounding hills to the prison site at western end of site. Main Street was at river's edge with a mill just across the street from the prison. The second etching, titled 'Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota, 1879, Looking northwest', shows the prison with what appear to be its current retaining walls and the west end of site excavated to possibly its CLllTent elevation. Main Street still formed the river's edge with an expanded mill found across the street frol11 the prison. This etching tried to show the importance of the lumber trade to Stillwater with numerous logs in the river. . The berm. which horders part of the perimeter of the site, has been reported to have been constructed later than 1880, possibly in the 1 e130s. However, the site as of J 879 essentially had the current land surface configuration. One other significant development that affects the site is landfilling on the St. Croix River. Main Street no longer sits on the river's edge, but is now about 400 feet from the river. Our work is related to three aspects of the overall project: foundation conditions, total flow of water through the site, a Phase i Environmental Site Assessment. Progress and plans on each are addressed separately. FOUNDATION CONDITIONS Foundation conditions were expiored by the means of taking soil borings. The borings were originall y to be dri i1ed to a depth of 15 feet. We were later requested to dri II then to a depth 0 f 25 feet. We dril led at 14 separate locations spanning the length and width of the site and, where appropriate, to a depth of 25 feet. Locations and elevations of the borings will be provided on logs in the foundation report. Driliing effectiveness was limited in the southeast quadrant of the site because of man-made artifacts. These locations have been reported to the project archeologist. Unless otherwise requested to drill more borings, our drilling operations are complete. . Drilling has revealed three major potential problems for foundations at the site: the presence of a buried bedrock valley though the center of part of the site, relatively thin alternating non- continuous layers of granular and cohesive materials, and a consistently high water table throughout the site. Note that site geology and the components of groundwater now system are discussed in detail below. . The buried bedrock valley was detected by observing that bedrock was encountered in borings around the perimeter and in part of the center of the site but not near the eastern part of the east- west axis of the site. The bedrock at the site is from the St. Lawrence Formation. Dr. John Mossier of tile 1'vlinnesota Geological Survey identified the samples in question as being from this formation. This formation had the drill ing characteristics of being easy to auger through and hard to drive the split spoon sampler through. The buried bedrock valley is related to two problems at the site: very loose to loose sand and relatively thin alternating non-continuous layers of granular and cohesive materials. Within the bedrock valley, near the eastern edge of the site along Main Street and almost equidistant from the northern and southern retaining walls, loose to very loose sand was found below a depth of 9.5 feet below grade to the end of the boring at 25 feet below grade. In one boring, just to the southwest of the monument, medium stiff clay was found at a depth of 12 to 14 feet below grade. On the basis of water level measurements in wells and observations on the depth of wet samples and water in the center of the hollow stem augers during geotechnical drilling, the water table appears to vary from about l.5 feet to 8 feet below grade. Depths also appear to vary seasonally. . In general, subsurface condition are favorable in terms of bearing capacity around the perimeter of the site because of the apparent presence of bedrock at shallow depths. Bearing capacities remain to be calculated for these areas. Concerns, however, exist for construction along the east- west axis of the site near Main Street. Very loose to loose sand as well as thin layers of medium stiff clay are present there. It probably not practical to use over-excavation and controlled refilling at those locations. Some possible solutions could include various types of piles or rock- cored piers such as Gcopiers(TM). Det3ils will be presented in the final foundations report. The shallow depth of water represents the greatest gcotcclmicnl challenge at the site. Work on the hydrology of the site is discussed in detail below. Briefly, the geotechnical problem can be addressed by providing adequate drainage of water from the site. This, in turn, depends on the source of thc waleI' (discussed below). Potential solutions include a curtain/perimeter drain, 'Tile' drains around/under structures, and using the uti!! ly trenches as drains. Water flowing through and on the site is characterized by an apparent consistent base flow and an apparent consistent temperature. Water nowing aroLlnd the perimeter of the site maintained an adequate temperature this past winter to allow sustained growth of aquatic vegetation through the winter. HYDROLOGY IGEOLOGY Our understanding of the geology and hydrology of the site were developed through the study of available literature concerning similar geologic environments in the area and on-site drilling. The major geologic and hydrologic features of the site are the presence of a buried bedrock valley on the site and the springs and seeps that occur around the perimeter of site. Both have been tied together through the action of men in the I R70s with the excavation and development of the site. The total discharge through the site needs to be determined for this project. Diversion of some of that discharge, if possible, is needed if the planned structures are to be constructed as desired. This problem has been addressed by first developing an understanding of the geologic and hydrologic environment of the site. . The buried bedrock valley is related to the natural excavation by waters flowing into the St. Croix River valley when the river flowed at a lower elevation during pre-historic times. As the base stage of the St. Croix rose to about its current level; soils, which were previously transported . through the buried bedrock valley into the St. Croix River channel, were either rapidly or slowly deposited in the buried hedrock valley itself as well as at the edge of the St. Croix River valley channel. Rapid deposition probably occurred episodically, filling the buried valley with layers of coarse materials (lag deposits). Some of the finer materials probably nowed out of the bedrock valley and built a system of deltaic deposits at the interface of the buried bedrock valley and the St. Croix River valley. Times of quiet water deposition between rapid episodic deposits of coarser materials could account for interlayered cohesive materials as well as deposits of finer grained sands found in the valley in-fill. The natural process just described lead to the development of the valley pictured in 1870 etching of Stillwater. Between the times depicted by the 1870 to 1879 etchings, the topography of the site was modified. Natural slope wash deposited along the perimeter of the site was remove, On the basis of our observations, it appears that the western end of the site was lowered by as much as 10 feet. Retaining walls were constructed around the perimeter of the site to stabilize and protect the exposed friable Jordan Sandstone. It is likely, that at the time of excavation, springs now found at the site were exposed from their previously sub-aerial exposure. The excavations of the 1870s set the scene for the geologic and hydrologic environment we deal with today, Detem1ination of the total discharge of water from this site is critical in describing the sites hydrology. The discharge has a surface and ground water components. Surface discharge takes the form of the tlow of water around the perimeter of the site to catch basins either on the site or along Main Street. . We measured surface water discharge from the site on February 1 B-19, 2002, and determined that it originates at specific locations along the retaining walls. The best way to describe these locations is to call them springs. Total discharge from the site was about 86 gallons per minute. The volume of water retlects the amount of water that emanated from the springs but could recharge the ground water flow system. In fact, the water that does take the pathway of surface flow has first to be rejected as recharge by the ground water now system. Measurements made during the drilling of the test borings showed that the site was acting as both as an area for recharging ground water and an area for discharging ground water. At the location of specific borings, once the test boring was deeper than the water table, the depth of the measured water inside of the hollow stem auger initially increased with depth. This indicatcd that there was a downward component of ground water /low at those depths, which is indicative of recharge. At the location of some of the initial borings, the depth of water stabilized at the depth of about 12 feet below grade. This depth below grade represented the equilibrium depth between downward moving recharge and upward moving discharge in the ground water flow system. Note that this equilibrium depth will vary over time as well as at specific locations on the site. For example, the depth may be as shallow as 2. to 3 feet at the western end of the site. The separation of ground water flow into zones recharge and discharge at the some layer also implies something about the horizontal flow of water through the ground: it must occur at a much higher rate than the vertical now of water. Based on observation of the materials on the site it is estimated that the ratio of vertical to horizontal hydraulic conductivity is on the order of 1: 10 to 1: 100. . These observations were made in winter. At that time there was no obvious source of recharge water to the ground water system except the free tlowing water moving around the perimeter of the site and the springs that contributed to its discharge. This suggests that the downward flow (i.e. recharging water) component source within site is from water entering into site along its . . . perimeter and that the upward flow (i.e. discharging water) component source is from water discharging from bedrock aquifers into St. Croix River Valley, The water in the perimeter flow is probably di verted upward flow from the bedrock groundwater system that seeps or leaks into the site. In part this seepage possibly developed after the west end of the site was excavated in the J 870s. But the presence of dolomite crystals on partings in bedrock samples (John Mossier, personal communication) from the site suggests that seepage from these springs has been going on for a lot longer than the last 130 years. Calculation of ground water flow requires water-level measurements and the determination of aquifer hydraulic properties. To this end, we have installed four new monitoring wells. These are in addition to the 3 serviceable monitoring wells already on site. We have been measuring water levels in all the wells during the period of spring melt and thaw this year. Water levels in these wells appear to have fluctuated less than I foot this spring. In addition, after development (see below) we conducted slug tests to determine aquifer hydraulic properties. We have also installed a temporary staff gage in the pool at the west end of the site. We are in the process of comparing the changes in water levels in the various wells with stage fluctuations in the St. Croix River. All wells were either developed or redeveloped through a surge and pump technique. This allowed 6 wells to be slug tested and prepared the wells for water quality sampling. We are in the process of analyzing the final slug test results. Preliminary estimates of hydraulic conductivity indicate that a value between 1 and] 0 feet per day appears to be suitable. On the basis of this value, it was estimated that the ground water discharge from the site that can be related to water seeping from the perimeter surface flows through the site is on the order of 500 to 1,500 cubic feet per day. Plans call for refining this number as the slug test measurements and water levels are analyzed. Plans cail for collecting water quaiity samples of both ground water and surface water within the next week. A final report will be prepared after the analyses are returned from the lab. PHASE [ ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ESA) The site invesliga!iol1 for the ESA has been completed. Both the buildings and grounds have been ex.plored (and photographed) for potential hazards. A vailablc government data, literature, and site and regional rcports have been collected and ex.amined. Plans call for completing the writing of the ESA during May 2002. . . The 106 Group Ltd. 370 Selby Avenue St Paul, t\riN 55102 Stillwater Territorial Prison Status report by The 106 Group Ltd. April 29, 2001 The 106 Group has been contracted to perform archaeological and historical consulting services for the Stillwater Territorial Prison project. The prison site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a place that has been key in the early development of Stillwater and the state, Archaeological resources are known to survive, and there is great potential to incorporate that history into the design and interpretive elements within the development. State legislation requires consultation with the Minnesota Historical Society (the MN Historic Sites Act and the MN Field Archaeology Act), If any federal permits, loans, funding or other involvement is likely to occur as part ofthis redevelopment, then Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, will also need to be implemented, The 106 Group proposes to approach the project in stages (or phases) in order to provide controlled gathering of information to ensure that the historical and archaeological decisions are well informed and appropriate levels of data are gathered to support those decisions. A meeting took place with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and 1. Buxell Architects. Based on this preliminary consultation with the SHPO the current Phase I study will include the preparation of an archaeological assessment report to determine archaeological potential of the site, The report will also include a brief discussion of potential interpretive themes and opportunities for the site. A digital plan map of the site area is being generated using ESRI ArcView 3.2 and a Global Positioning Systems Unit to show the relationship between historically documented structures and the current conditions of the site. Based on information gathered to date, it is assumed that archaeological field investigations will need to occur to fully evaluate the site's potential and determine if any effects to the resources should be avoided or mitigated through archaeological data recovery. In addition, a historical marker at the site states that a battle occurred in this area between the Dakota and Ojibwe tribes. Consultation with the American Indian tribes will be required if the Section 106 process is implemented. Otherwise, consultation is strongly advised and further discussion should occur to better define this process. A tentative schedule is proposed below: o Submit Phase I report to SHPO and further consultation o Phase II archaeological investigation o Consultation with American Indian tribes o Further consultation with SHPO regarding avoidance or mitigation o Data recovery (if necessary) late May/early June mid June/early July July and August late July August - Sept. l) 2 ') '7 \:\1 V,l I:V, 1 0 6 9 r (] u p C 0 (n -; , ~ I .

Prior to securing all the necessary funding for the constuction of the Veterans Memorial, we respectfully request approval to install a limited number of the pavers in a to be determined block pattern in the Pine Street public sidewalk for fundraising promotional purposes. The same strategy of selling and installing pavers prior to the actual construction of the memorial was successful in the construction of the recently completed Rochester Memorial. Sales of pavers for the Rochester Memorial increased dramatically after the pavers started being installed at the memorial site which accordingly hastened the completion of the project. . A representative of the Veterans Memorial will be in attendance at the designated City Council meeting to respond to any questions.

MINNESOTA HISTOmCAL SOCIETY April 5, 2002 Ms, Sue Fitzgerald City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater 55082 Dear Ms, Fitzgerald: The Minnesota Historical Society's Grants Review Committee considered twelve Certified Local Government grant applications at its meeting on April 4, 2002, Among them were two applications from the City of Stillwater, one for a survey and the other for the development of a curriculum, ~ A total of eight projects were funded, Each ofthe City's applications received complete and careful consideration, The application for the survey project was recommended for funding; however, the application for the curriculum was not. The curriculum proposal was denied on the grounds that the application did not provide sufficient information to fully evaluate the project. Few details were given as to how the project will be accomplished, what the curriculum would be comprised of, what the specific projects would be, and how the products would be promoted and distributed to the teachers. Many of the details seem to still be in the planning stages, In addition, committee members raised some concern in their review of the draft chapter distributed at the meeting. They strongly urge that the content undergo a critical review as the project unfolds. Specifically, they would urge the inclusion of units on the Native American occupation of the area prior to contact and on the environment. The grant agreements for the survey project will be sent under separate ('over in May_ Please call me at (651) 296-5471, or write if you have any questions. Sincerely, ~~ I ^JJo~ Britta L.

Magnuson DATE: May 3, 2002 RE: Lowell Inn Tax Abatement Shortly after the Lowell Inn changed hands, staff was directed to work with the new owners to determine what, if any, City assistance could be provided to the expected renovation project. . Since the property is not located in a tax increment financing district, it was eligible for consideration as a tax abatement project. The statute allows the City to abate all or part of the City real estate taxes to assist an owner with help to redevelop or renew blighted areas, as well as to provide employment opportunities and to increase or preserve the tax base ofthe City. Staff learned that the Lowell Inn will pay taxes in the year 2002 in the amount of $67,002. Out of this total, the City's share of taxes is $10,198.91. Staff was also presented with information showing that to correct old and decaying conditions in the building and to bring the building in compliance with current codes, $318,165.10 will be expended. The law requires that before adopting a resolution abating the taxes, a public hearing must be held and the enclosed resolution is a form of notice to be used for the public hearing. Respectfully, ;~rt' Vk\:',' ./\/'1.-. David T. Ma~uson Stillwater CIty Attorney . DTM/nm . . . RESOLUTION 2002 RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENTS FOR THE LOWELL INN PROJECT WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1812 through 469.1815, both inclusive, authorize the City of Stillwater, Minnesota (the "City"), upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to grant an abatement of all or a part of the taxes levied by the City on improvements made to certain property; and WHEREAS, the City has received a request from Richard J. Anderson, d/b/a the Lowell Inn (the "Company"), that the City grant an abatement of all property taxes on the Lowell Inn property on which the Company is and will continue to construct a substantial renovation. WHEREAS, it is a legal requirement that the City hold a public hearing prior to adoption of a resolution granting any property tax abatements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. Hearing. A public hearing on the consideration of granting a property tax abatement to the Company as requested will be held at the time and place set forth in the Notice of hearing attached hereto as Exhibit A and hereby made a part hereof. Section 2. Notice. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of said hearing in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to be given one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least 10 days but not more than 30 days before the hearing. The newspaper must be one of general interest and readership in the City, and the notice must be published at least once. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember , and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: Whereupon said Resolution was declared duly passed and adopted, and was signed by the Mayor and attested to by the City Clerk. . NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT FOR LOWELL INN RENOVATION PROJECT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, will hold a public hearing at a meeting of the Council beginning at 7:00 p.m., on Tuesday, May 21,2002, to be held in the Council Chambers at the Stillwater City Hall, 216 North Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota, on the request of Richard J. Anderson, d/b/a the Lowell Inn (the "Company") to have the City abate to the Company all of the taxes to be levied by the City on the Company property located at 102 North Second Street, Stillwater, Minnesota for the purpose of assisting the owner with the redevelopment, renovation and renewal of what had become a blighted property. The total amount of taxes proposed to be abated by the City for the Improvements is estimated to be $10,198.91 per year for 10 years, but in no event to exceed $150,000. The City Council will consider granting the property tax abatement in repose to the request. All interested persons may appear at the May 21 st public hearing and present their views orally or in writing. Anyone needing reasonable accommodations or an interpreter should contact the City Clerk's office at City Hall, telephone (651) 430-8000. . [Publish May ~ . EXHIBIT A · Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor and City Council /I / Steve Russell, Community Development Director f' May 3, 2002 Impact ofTH 36 Partnership Study Alternatives on City's Comprehensive Plan Back~ound. The City of Stillwater is a partner with MnDOT, Washington County and Oak Park Heights on the TH 36 Partnership study (the Planning Commission represents Stillwater). Generally, the idea of the study is to decide on a future configuration for TH 36 from CR 5 to TH 95 then to program improvements to accomplish the selected design. . At this point in the study, process three alternative roadway designs have been selected to evaluate impacts of the alternatives on the road system and surrounding area. Below is a description of the three alternatives and beginning discussions of the impacts of the alternatives on local streets and the surrounding area. To date, the study has forecast future traffic on key roads in the study area to 2020. Map I shows existing trips (2000), Map 2 forecasts traffic to 2020. Basically, the forecast shows that traffic on the road system (TH 36, Frontage Roads, adjacent arterial and collectors) will double in the 20 year forecast period. That is to say the number oftrips on TH 36 between Grec#ey and Osgood will incr~ase from 26,50?0 ADTs to 54,500 ADTs. Other major city streets wtlt~?creJ1.se substantlally as well as lIsted below: -~~/ 2000 2020 16,600 36,600 12,500 27,000 8,000 16,000 7,000 14,000 CR5 Greeley Osgood Curve Crest With this magnitude of increase, the level of service of intersections would decrease, especially intersections at Osgood, Greeley and Washington. Other intersections further away would also decrease in level of services but not to the extent of the near in intersections (See Figure 1, 2 and 3). The forecasts indicate that traffic will double and the existing road system will fail. So what can be done?? (besides a new bridge) . . . . Three alternatives are being studied as outline in the attached memo dated April 3, 2002. The alternatives are: Concept B: Expansion ofTH 36 to six lanes and change Washington Avenue intersection to an overpass. This alternative would make it somewhat more difficult to gain access the west end of the Stillwater West Business Park and increase traffic on CR 5 and Greeley. Concept E: Single interchange at Greeley/Oakgreen. This freeway alternative will funnel all access to TH 36 to Greeley. This will make it less convenient to get to adjacent business and increase Greeley traffic and impact on adjacent properties. Major improvements to the Frontage Road system would need to be made for this option to work. Washington and Osgood would be converted from interchanges to overpasses. Curve Crest, Churchill and other east/west streets would see an increase in traffic. Concept F: "Button hook" interchanges at Osgood and NorelllWashington. In this alternative, access would be provided by two interchanges located east and west of Greeley. Overpasses would be constructed at Washington, Greeley and Osgood. The new interchanges would be connected by an improved Frontage Road. This alternative would tend to distribute the increased traffic evenly to the existing road system. The three overpasses would provide a more convenient link between the north and south sides ofTH 36. Again, Frontage Road improvements would be key to the success of this option. Impact of Alternatives. The impact of the change in travel patterns is critical to the city. All the streets that connect to TH 36 are residential and any large increase in traffic volume will effect the residential quality of those streets. With four intersections, CR 5, Washington, Greeley and Osgood, traffic is disbursed to the north. Alternatives that change that pattern will impact the related adjacent residential area. For any of the alternatives to work effectively, a new substantially improved Frontage Road system would need to be incorporated into the improvements. Recommendation: This report is presented for Council information and comment. No action is required (on May 22, 2002, an open house will be held at Stillwater High School to present the results of the Alternative Impact Analysis).

CONSULTING f-)- WOL G ROUP, I Ne. Transportation · Civil · Structural. Environmental. Planning · Traffic. Landscape Architecture · Parking SRF No. 0014088 MEMORANDUM TO: TH 36 Partnership Study PAC FROM: Beth Bartz, Senior Associate Dave Montebello, Principal DATE: April 3, 2002 SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION FOR THREE ALTERNATIVES TO BE CHOSEN FOR FuRTIIER ANALYSIS At the April 10 PAC Meeting, you will be asked to select three of the study's seven concept alternatives for further analysis. We know this will be a difficult choice for you. We would like to provide you with our recommendation as to the perspective from which to choose the three alternatives as well as our recommendation for the three to be selected. You may feel free to accept or reject either this perspective or the three alternatives at your pleasure. . A choice perspective We recommend that you choose three alternatives that will provide a range of alternatives for analysis, and from which, the relative benefits of the alternative's components (e,g. expansion to 6 lanes, conversion to a freeway) can be assessed, rather than selecting the three you most want to see implemented. Further, we suggest that this choice not be considered a final rejection of the other four options. Following the analysis of the three selected alternatives, we will be able, to a limited degree, to assess how the other four would likely function as well. Therefore, your final recommendation would be able to consider the merits of any of the seven concept alternatives and their appropriateness for various future conditions (e.g., with or without a new river crossing, as a series of staged improvements to the corridor, or dependent on the level of development or traffic volumes experience in the future.) Three Alternatives Given the above perspective, we would recommend the selection of the following three alternatives for further analysis: . · Concept B: Expansion to 6-1anes and conversion of the Norell-Washington intersection to an overpass When compared with Concept C, traffic operations analysis results will provide information regarding the value of expansion of the roadway to six lanes and reducing the number of signalized intersections on TH 36. Analysis of this concept will also help assess the impacts to the local street system of concentrating access to TH 36 at two, rather than three points.

TH 36 Partnership Study PAC -2- April 4, 2002 . Concept E: Interchange at OakgreenlGreeley When compared to the No-Build, assessment of Concept E will provide information relating to the benefit of conversion of TH 36 from an expressway to a freeway. Analysis of this concept will also help assess the impacts to the local street system of concentrating access to TH 36 at one, rather than two or three points. . Concept F: "Buttonhook" Interchanges at Osgood and NorelllWashington When compared with Concept E, assessment of the "Buttonhook" option will help assess the impacts or benefits of providing access to and from TH 36 at two, rather than a single, point. This alternative offers more flexibility in terms of controlling right of way impacts and facilitates easy crossing of TH 36 for both vehicles and pedestrians, but places a greater functional burden on the frontage road system (similar to the split interchange). We believe that the knowledge gained from further analysis of this atypical alternative would be helpful to the study process. A few comments about Concept C: "Parkway" Concept One alternative notably missing from the above list is the parkway alternative. Again, we are not recommending with this list that the remaining four concept alternatives be finally rejected. We expect that this concept alternative will likely play a role in shaping the PAC's final recommendations. Rather, we believe that because this alternative is functionally not much different that the existing conditions, the No-Build analysis will provide us with fairly good traffic operations information about this option. Improvements to the frontage road system under the Parkway alternative will improve operations at the frontage road intersections due to the ability to signalize these intersections. However, we would expect the mainline TH 36 operations and operations to the remaining local roads to be similar to the No-Build analysis, As stated above, we offer these recommendations from the perspective of trying to identify a range of alternatives that will provide us with the greatest range of information to use during this study. If you have any questions regarding the above, we'd be happy to answer your questions either before or at the meeting on April 10. BB/DM/smf . -:.r- . .

The rates for 2003-2005 are as proposed in the Resolution. The rates represent a 7% overall increase for the total cost of services. These rates are to be maintained throughout the entire three-year term of the contract except for changes related to extreme increase in the cost of diesel gas and the Washington County Recycling Grant monies. Currently, the City subsidizes recycling at $.75 per household per month. Due to decreases in Recycling Grant monies, the subsidy will be $.67 per household per month for 2003. For years 2004 and 2005, the subsidy will be determined based on the amount of Recycling Grant monies the City receives from the County, which may create a slight fluctuation in the rate. Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council adopt the Resolutions approving the Solid Waste and Recycling Contract with Waste Management and Establishing a Monthly Rate Schedule for Solid Waste and Recycling. . SOLID WASTE and RECYCLING SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN the CITY OF STILLWATER and WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. January 1,2003 - December 31,2005 . .

Stillwater Fire Department Memo To: Mayor and Council Kim A. Kallestad, Fire Chief :(~ '" From: cc: Larry Hansen, City Administrator Date: 4/2912002 Rec Adoption of Appendix II-K of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code Backaround The Minnesota Uniform Fire Code Appendix II-K addresses the issue of barbecue grills and open flame devices on balconies and patios of any structure containing three or more units. Every summer, barbecue grills reappear on balconies and patios of multi-family dwellings and every year, barbecue grills can be linked to fires that cause major structural damage and life safety concerns. Some of the fires started by grills have destroyed many dwelling units or entire apartnent buildings. In many towns and cities, this practice is prohibited by a specific local ordinance or by the adoption of Appendix II-K of the 1998 Minnesota Uniform Fire Code. The fire code does not prohibit barbecue grills on balconies and patios of multi-family occupancies unless the local governing body formally adopts Minnesota Uniform Fire Code Appendix II-K. ADoendix II-K Fires or Barbecues on Balconies or Patios 1.1 Open Flame Prohibited, In any structure containing three or more dwelling units, no person shall kindle, maintain, or cause any fire or open flame on any balcony above ground level, or on any ground floor patio within 15 feet of a structure. 1.2 Fuel Storage Prohibited. No person shall store or use any fuel, barbecue, torch, or other similar heating or lighting chemical or device in the locations designated in section1.1. Exception: Listed electric or gas-fired barbecue grills that are permanently mounted and wired or plumbed to the building's gas supply or electrical system and that maintain a minimum clearance of 18 inches on all sides, unless listed for lesser clearances, may be installed on balconies and patios when approved by the chief. Recommendation With the advent of numerous multi-family dwellings in the City of Stillwater and the surrounding area, and with the inherent fire danger presented to life safety and potential property loss by improper barbecuing practices, I recommend the City of Stillwater adopt Appendix II-K of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code effective immediately. <(- . Memorandum To: Mayor and City Council From: ./ " <:. \Lt. Klayton Eckles, City Engineer ! .. Date: May 3,2002 Subject: Request from Jim and Polly Hoy to participate in relocation of storm sewer DISCUSSION Attached is a letter from Jim and Polly Hoy who live at 1035 3rd Avenue South. They are requesting that the City participate in the relocating of an existing storm sewer pipe that crosses their property. The pipe in question is an old corrugated metal pipe that was installed across their property many years ago. There is no easement recorded on the property so the City's rights concerning the continued maintenance and operation of this line are cloudy. . The Hoy's wish to see the storm sewer pipe moved so they can construct a swimming pool in their yard. In return the Hoy's would agree to participate in the cost of the new storm pipe by contributing $1500 and would grant the City a permanent easement for drainage and utility purposes. The estimated cost of installing a new storm pipe is about $7500. Therefore based on the proposal by the Hoy's the City's contribution would be about $6000. There is justification for the City spending dollars on this new pipe. First the existing pipe is old and substandard. At some future date it would be necessary for the City to repair or relay the existing pipe. Also by constructing this project, manholes could be added that will allow for cleaning and access. Finally there is an advantage that the Hoys would grant the City an easement eliminating potential conflicts in the future. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize an expenditure of up to $6500 out of the storm water utility fund for the participation in a storm water reconstruction project on the Hoy property. Staff also recommends that Council direct the City Attorney to prepare an agreement to address cost sharing, turf establishment responsibilities and execution of an easement document. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with staff recommendation Council should pass a motion adopting a resolution authorizing expenditure of up to $6500, directing Dave Magnuson to prepare agreement and approve agreement with Jim & Polly Hoy for the construction of a new storm sewer pipe on the property located on 1035 3rd Avenue South. . ~ . Date: 04-29-02 To: Klayton Eckles We have a historic storm pipe that runs very close to the house, under our deck and through the middle of our yard. There is no easement on record for this pipe. The current location of the pipe makes any plans for our backyard very difficult or impossible. We would like the city to pay for the relocating and improving the pipe. We would contribute $1500.00 towards the improvement and relocating of the storm pipe. Thank you, Jim and Polly Roy . . .,.. . . .

City Engineer Ij .0 · May 3, 2002 DATE: RE: 2002 Seal Coat Project DISCUSSION This year we are proposing another seal coat project. Seal coating has been part of our annual street maintenance program for the past several years. Typically, we try to seal coat three to six miles annually. Seal coating adds a protective coating layer to the blacktop which can increase the life of the street. The proposed streets for this years seal coat project include Elm Street, Hickory Street, Sycamore Street, W. St. Croix Street, Stillwater Ave, Maple Street, Mulberry Street, Hillcrest Drive, 3rd Avenue South, Fourth Avenue South, Fifth Avenue South, St. Louis Street, Burlington Avenue, and Dubuque Street. The attached map shows the area of the city where work would be done. In addition to regular seal coating, a special seal coat process is used for gravel roads, Proposed gravel streets to be seal coated are portions of Oak Street, Locust Street Wilkins Street and Broadway Street. In the past the City has piggybacked on the Washington County Seal Coat Project but this year they decided not to have a project. Instead of doing a project ourselves, the City's of Bayport and Oak Park Heights have expressed an interest in being included in our seal coat project. This should give all cities a good price from bidding contractors. Stipulations have been inserted in the specifications that the contractor will bill each city individually. The estimated total cost of the project is $190,000 with the City's portion estimated at $75,000. The remaining portion or $115,000 will the responsibility of Bayport and Oak Park Heights. $80,000 from the City of Stillwater has been budgeted for this year's seal coat project. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that City Council approve the plans and specifications for the 2002 Seal Coat Project and ordering advertisement for bids. ACTION REQUIRED If the City Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a resolution APPROVE PLANS & SPECIFICATIONSAND ORDERING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDSFOR 2002 SEAL COAT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT(PROJECT 2002-03) 'to APPROVE PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR 2002 SEAL COAT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PROJECT 2002-03) . WHEREAS, pursuant to a resolution passed by the Council on May 3,2002, the City Engineer has prepared plans and specifications for the 2002 Seal Coat (Project 2002-03) and has presented such plans and specifications to Council for approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA: 1. The plans and specifications presented by the City Engineer are hereby approved. 2. The City Clerk is ordered to prepare and cause to be inserted in The Gazette and in the Construction Bulletin an advertisement for bids upon the making of the improvement under the approved plans and specifications. The advertisement shall be published once in the Stillwater Gazette and twice in the Construction Bulletin, shall specify the work to be done, shall state that bids will be received by the City Clerk until June 3, 2002, at 10:00 a.m. at which time they will be publicly opened at City Hall by the City Engineer; will then be . tabulated and will be considered by the Council at their next regular Council meeting on June 4, 2002, in the Council Chambers.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Shawn Sanders, Asst. City Engineer if> DATE: May 3, 2002 RE: Meadowviewl Amundson Sewer Connection DISCUSSION Several years ago when the apartments were constructed on Meadowview Drive there was no gravity sanitary sewer main in the area. The only way for the apartments to be served was to install a lift station at the low point on West St. Croix and Meadowview and pump the sanitary main on North Owens Street. It was planned that when gravity sewer was to be extended to the Amundson property from the west, the lift station would be eliminated and the area be served by gravity sewer. By eliminating the lift station and installing a gravity line, the City would eliminate problems associated with lift stations such as pumps going out of service, the risk of a power outage and backflow of sewage into basements and no more routine maintenance. Last fall the Amundson property was developed and sanitary sewer was installed, making available a gravity sewer line to the properties to Meadowview. Staff has been working on plans that would extend 480 feet of sanitary sewer from Nena Court in the Amundson Development to the lift station at Meadowview and West St. Croix. The City has received three quotes from area contractors and the low quote from Fuhr Trenching for $19,742.25. Rick Fuhr has indicated that he would be able to start the work in three weeks. This would allow the City adequate time to obtain the proper easements from the adjacent property owners, who have been explained the project and have indicated they are willing to cooperate. The project would be paid for through the Capital Outlay Fund RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council pass a motion approving the project. + ) /~ \ \ \ \ \ \ ) /' /' /' /' /' " \ ~(J1 I !",,^J I I ) L_________---""'/ I I 5' EASEM NT . \ 13' ~----------=-t-------------; 0" ------:=~~~- ---~-~-~JL+-~-~--~---f---~ 15' EASEMENT "--~_.~~",._.-,,.~~E",.-"'.,..--^-.-~m--.u^...,-~.~.-- c . MEADOWVIEW AMUNDSON SEWER CONNECTION . . · Memo To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor and City Council Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~ May 3, 2002 Recommendation from the Parks Board Meeting of April 22, 2002 Regarding Staples Field and Canoe Storage at Lily Lake Park Staples Field. On March 25, 2002, the Parks Board held a neighborhood meeting with Staples. As a result of that meeting, an improvement program is being developed for the park and will be presented to the Council later this summer. As an interim measure, the Board felt the basketball court could be reconfigured to accommodate junior youth basketball but discourage young adult use of the court. . The Board recommends that the north basket be moved to the south so that both baskets are located away from the adjacent residences and only half court games can be played. This would allow some use of the improvement and by design discourage users who have been a problem to the neighbors. Lily Lake Park. A second item is a request by a resident to construct a 8 to 10 slot canoe storage rack at Lily Lake Park adjacent to the lake. The spaces would be available on a as available basis. The rack would be signed indicating canoes stored at owners risk. The Parks Board felt this was a good idea and would possibly make lake access more available to city residents. Parks Board Recommendation: 1. The approval of relocation of the basketball basket at Staples Field to the south end of the court; and 2. Allow the construction of a 6-10 stall canoe rack at Lily lake Park (subj ect to Parks Director location approval). . .

We will also be adding information areas at both the North and South ends of Main street to accommodate visitors, and will also be adding children's hands-on art activity areas at these locations. We hope to make this event a time when families can experience art together!

River Valley Arts Council PO Box 22 Stillwater MN 55082 (65])439-]465 E-mail: rvaC@mtn.ocg www.rvac.org As RV AC celebrates its 9th year we would like to thank its mem- bers, volunteers, artists, art en- thusiasts, former Board Mem- bers, and the community for supporting and encouraging lo- cal art. With the support of its many do- nors and funders, and the efforts of many volunteers we have closed the door on a successful 200l! . During 2001 the theme would have been change - Board changes, administrative changes, office moves, membership changes, and a renewed and strengthened focus on serving artists and art where we live - in the St. Croix Valley, and Wash- ington County, Minnesota. As we look back we can see the difference art makes in a commu- nity. As an artist is brought into the school through our School Arts Program, as the streets fill up with Art Crawl attendees, and through all the local pro- jects that happen with the sup- port of the Metropolitan Re- gional Arts Council's re- granting program. Please continue to support your local Arts Council with your ideas, time, and financial contri- butions. We will continue to advocate, coordinate, and en- courage art right here in the Valley. IVOI un teers! Many thanks to the won- derful volunteers ofRV AC. With the helpful hands of many volunteers from all over the area, we've been able to set goals, implement programs and events, and really begin to look to the future - from distributing newsletters, handing out Art Crawl maps, serving on Commit- tees, writing newsletter stories, stuffmg envelopes, creating sur- veys, auditing our checkbook, calling in with ideas or projects, answering the phones, updating our website, setting up tables, folding programs, providing food, and working registration tables, volunteers have provided us the opportunity to get more people involved in the work of RV AC and get more done than we'd ever imagined! Thank you for your sup- port, for your assistance, and for your gift of time. 12001 Board of Directors . Karl Aaro, Chair Dawn Aerts Mona Kohout Kathy Ryberg Kim Witte Robert Knapp, Vice-Chair Kris Danielson Barbara Krinke Dave Spencer Sue Keller, Treasurer John Spaulding, Secretary Ann Gonzales Ann Rinkenberger Norman Steere Jammi Hansen Blair, Executive Director IWhat happened tn 2001? The year 2001 was a year of change and growth for RV AC. We began the year with our first Census of Arts Interest. Over 250 forms were returned, and we were able to touch in with local artists, both long-time members, and those new to the Council. We have received some excellent feed- back, and are working to make changes that will best meet the needs of our artist-members. Early in the year we had a change in Board leader- ship, as well as a change in the administrative office. Karl Aaro was elected Board Chair, with Robert Knapp as Vice- Chair and John Spaulding as Secretary. Jammi Hansen Blair was hired as Executive Director. We started the year with a successful Annual Meeting in Marine, and were joined by over 100 supporters, and the jazz and blues sound of Savanna Blue, This year we were able to continue our School Arts Program with grants for art projects to Andersen, Stone- bridge, and Afton-Lakeland Elementary schools. In May we held our an- nual Lakeview Members' Show in the gallery space of Lakeview Hospital, and we were bursting at the seams! Thirty-three artist members submitted work, and we had to expand the show to the Hospi- tal lunchroom June started off with a flurry at the 6th Annual Stillwater Art Crawl. More than 35 Main Street businesses hosted artists, and the Stillwater National Guard Armory was added as a site to serve as expanded space for vis- ual and performing artists. Mini- performances by Valley Chamber Chorale, Ballet Jubilate, the Vallee de Croix Women's Cho- rus, St. Croix Festival Theatre, and string quartets from Stillwa- ter Area Junior and Senior High Schools were also featured. Featured groups invited as guests to the Crawl included Os- ceola's ArtBarn, members of the DeafArt Clay Club, and student art from SAHS and Friends of the Stillwater Parks. A Saturday evening Com- munity Barn Dance was held at the Armory location, featuring music by Pat O'LougWin & Friends. The month of August started with RV AC's sponsorship of the Washington County Parks Music in the Park, featuring Mi- chael Monroe, Greenwood Tree, and Ashokan Midwest and Au- gust wrapped up with our 1st An- nual Members' Show at Osce- o la's ArtBarn Seventeen RV AC mem- ber-artists featured work in the ArtBam for the greater part of August. During October we began hanging a show at the Washing- ton County Historic Courthouse entitled "Stillwater Art Colony - Creating Art as a Community". ., Thirty-six pieces by a dozen . members of the Stillwater Art Colony (existing in Stillwater in the 30s and 40s) were put on display. The show ran through early January 2002, and had well over 1000 visitors! On November 4, we hosted Artful Indulgences, a gathering of artists and commu- nity members at the Washing- ton County H.istoric Court- house. TIrrough the generous support of local businesses and organizations, attendees sam- pled wonderful desserts, wine, and coffee, and were treated to performances by Jim Schattauer (acoustic guitar), the Spotlight- ers from Spotlight Dance Stu- dio, Poet John Patrick Bilello, and a string quartet from SAHS. Orchestra. A fun silent auction was also part of the afternoons events. In November we also co-sponsored (with Ballet Jubli- ate') the opening reception of the St. Croix Academy of the Arts annual production of the Nutcracker, and an RV AC fund raiser with The Valley Book- seller. We wrapped up the year by increasing the frequency of our newsletter to a bi-monthly publication, and with our first annual appeal. 2001 was a fun, busy, and successful year, and we look forward to 2002! . .

FYI To: The Policy Advisory Committee - Highway 36 Stillwater Area From: Jeanne M. Anderson Date: 5/7/02 Re: Reasons Why A Multi-Way Boulevard Design Is Appropriate for This 2-Mile Section I came across a book called, The Boulevard Book, History, Evolution and Design of Multi-Wav Boulevards, by Jacobs, MacDonald and Rofe, just published this year by MIT Publishing, after I learned from Barb Tholman of Transit for Livable Communities that there is type of road called a "boulevard." I wanted to find out what this was. So I searched Amazon.com and found it. And, there is also a 20 minute video by the authors, which I was able to purchase. I hope you make it a point to see it. It's showing on Channel 16 (public access) as follows: Wed. May 8, 7:00 p.m. (a PAC meeting night) Mon. May 13, 7:00 p.m. Wed. May 22,7:00 p.m. Mon. May 27,7:00 p.m. Or, if you don't have cable, please ask me to make a copy or borrow my copy. MnDOT has a copy, as does Congo Luther's office. I am making copies for Sen. Michelle Bachmann and Rep, Mark Holsten, at their requests, both of whom I spoke with Sunday. Yesterday I got a message from Sen. Jane Krentz who said she also wants a copy. Why I think a multi-way boulevard design will work in this stretch of the road is as follows. I. OUR COMMUNITY MATTERS After September 11 th, who can debate the value of community? As it turns out, the local trips predominate over the commuter trips on this section of 36. With a new bridge, they either predominate or are equal to the commuter trips. MnDOT's Rick Arnebeck's got the figures. The regional through-traffic on Highway 36 must be accommodated, but the local trips within our community of Oak Park Heights/Stillwater must also be included in a good road design for Highway 36. The proportion of local to commuter trips should be reflected in the road design. It is not logical, or fair, to design the road as a freeway solely for the commuter trips. A multi way Boulevard design includes both types of trips and can retain and even enhance the community of Stillwater/Oak Park Heights. Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway are highly valued by their communities and have become designated as historic landmarks. A multi way boulevard design preserves our community. 1 II. SAFETY . Safety as the top concern can be met by a well-designed (clear cues to drivers and pedestrians) boulevard. There is an assumption that where there is a statistical probability of more "conflicts" between vehicles, or vehicles and pedestrianslbicyclists, this means a road is less "safe." However, this premise is not supported by the data collected by the authors. It does not take into account that people adapt to situations they encounter: when drivers perceive a complex situation they act in a more cautious manner, according to the authors. I think this shows our basic survival instinct to keep ourselves safe. This theory is supported by a recent article in the Pioneer Press. It reported a 42% increase in traffic fatalities in Minnesota this year. The cause is suspected to be the mild winter - most accidents happen in broad daylight on dry roads. Most of them occur in rural areas. Perhaps drivers are less careful when they have the illusion of safety - good conditions on a wide open roadway. A Toronto Study cited by MnDOT's Scott Bradley, Principal Landscape Architect - MnDOT Corridor Development Unit, also supports this theory. It showed that median and streetscape tree planting reduced vehicular accidents and property damage. (See Memo of 4/30/02 on reduced maintenance cost estimate.) I think the key here is "well-designed." Why the mid-block breaks probably don't work on 36 . right now is they are not anticipated by the drivers - the design needs to include clear cues to drivers, such as clear signage, pedestrian crossings, and trees on the medians. Currently the roadway appears as a wide open space - hence the perception or illusion of safety and the increased carelessness. A well-designed multi way boulevard is as safe, or safer, than a freeway or expressway. III. CAPACITY Through The Boulevard Book and the 20 minute video, you will learn about Brooklyn's classic Boulevards developed in the late 1800s - Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway, just two examples where the multi-way boulevard design handles between 60,000 to 75,000 vehicles per day. Heavy traffic is managed well by this design, while the road is livable for pedestrians, bicyclists, residents and businesses and preserving the character of the local community. MnDOT projects fewer vehicles per day here for the year 2020 - between 47,600 and 66,700 depending upon whether a new bridge is built. A multi way boulevard can provide the capacity we need. 2 . . . . IV.CONTEXT-SENSITIVE DESIGN A Design Policy adopted by MnDOT in November, 2000, which calls for "Design Excellence Through Context Sensitive Design" is required by Technical Memo No. 00-24- TS-03, effecting November, 2000, found on the Department's web site. Community sensitive planning and design, aesthetics and environmental stewardship is required by MnDOT's policy to be incorporated into all Trunk Highways, including Highway 36. The MnDOT Technical Memo explains that "(a) collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that includes early involvement of key stakeholders to ensure that transportation projects are not only 'Moving Minnesota' safely and efficiently, but are also in harmony with the natural, social, economic and cultural environment," We in Stillwater have all of these "resources" to be protected and considered in a new highway design: the natural resources of the sublime St. Croix River and Valley, the valuable social resource of a real city, not just a suburb, a thriving business community and the cultural jewels of the Downtown Historic District and the Old Town Stillwater historic neighborhoods. A multi way boulevard design for Highway 36 in the Stillwater area complies with MnDOT's Policy to design all trunk highways by considering the context in the design. V, LONG TERM PLANNING Here's a chance to plan for the longer-term future - 20, 40,50 or more years. Commissioner Opat from Hennepin County recently characterized the Highway 81 Boulevard Plan as an opportunity to "remake this part of the world for the next 50 years." The 2 Boulevards in Brooklyn are over 100 years old. There are numerous examples of others around the world in The Boulevard Book. The only way you can probably visualize this idea of a multi way boulevard here is to try to imagine the future. What do we do with so many more people and cars? This IS an urban setting. Dense urban development already exists on both sides of 36 and there are numerous developments occurring simultaneously on both sides to fill in the spaces there. I think that the uncertainty over the future plan for the highway has limited the development on 36 since investors are unsure whether it's a good investment, nor are business owners comfortable with the uncertainty. If a boulevard design is decided upon, I believe this will increase the land value, increase the business opportunities and encourage development along Highway 36 (building tax base for both cities). This is a win-win proposal for all stakeholders. I believe that Stillwater is a city and in the future will need to become more merged with the city of Oak Park Heights as a kind of "twin cities." The land use will become denser. We will need to fill in the spaces between the buildings on 36. Some will be housing. There is already a plan in Stillwater to put more senior housing up by 36 near Cub. And Oak Park Heights Planning Commission recently discussed a proposal for apartments near 36 and Oakgreen/Greeley. Now 3 we have Boutwells' Landing. And others. These people will need to get around. Some will want to cross 36 to eat at Josephs. Some will need to cross to go to Perkins. The handicapped folks . are already traversing Curve Crest, planned as an industrial park, but now a mixed use area including apartments, and crossing 36 in their wheelchairs to get to Wal-Mart. Our high school kids need to get back and forth. Let's make it safe for them to walk and bike. And so on. The zoning will have to be more traditional urban density with two or more stories and shared parking instead of big open parking lots. The building fronts will need to be up to the streets. Start with thinking about the frontage roads. They need to be pulled back. This means these roads will get closer to the building fronts and some of the parking lot space will go. Put the parking which was lost on both sides of the frontage roads. These now become "access roads" or local streets as shown in the video. Add pedestrian crossings and trees on each side of these access roads. Trees will work well in the slower speed lanes here - ask MnDOT's Scott Bradley. They should be planted on both sides of the medians along the access roads. People will park and then walk to several businesses instead of driving to each one separately. Include transit, biking and historic lighting. The center median will need special treatment to complete the boulevard design and keep it functional for both the faster regional traffic and the local traffic, as well as for pedestrians, bikers and transit. Trees should be planted all along the medians. Even with the salt and snow conditions, Scott Bradley of MnDOT has told me that trees will work on the center median with certain measures taken to ensure they will thrive. (Larger trees can be purchased at a discount . from brokers from other land being cleared for developments). The multi way boulevard is made for "principal arterials" - which 36 is now, and also instead of "expressways" - which is the term MnDOT is using for its pre-determined design plans (pre-PAC meetings). Not just for smaller urban streets like Summit Avenue. Most boulevards listed in The Boulevard Book are older roads. But not all are - look at the new boulevard in Chico, California. It's the busiest road in the town, but has been voted the most livable road of all by the town's residents. This is not just an old design - it can work now and far into the future. Don't limit your thinking to what we've got now on 36 - visualize what we can do to manage all the growth over the next 50 years. Let's manage it in a graceful way which does not harm our community. This is what Hennepin County is doing with a similar highway - making it into a community boulevard. A multi way boulevard design is a plan for the long term growth in this area.

A new bill was been signed into law on April 19 that will restrict the use of lawn fertilizers containing phosphorus throughout the state. Minnesota is the first state in the nation to take such an action to further improve the quality of our waters and thus reduce the public costs to treat the effects of phosphorus pollution. . Your support and that of over 50 cities, other local governments and associations, largely through governing board resolutions and contacts with legislators at key moments, were critical to the passage of this legislation. I would like especially to acknowledge the financial support given to Shorewood by the cities of Cottage Grove, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Falcon Heights, Plymouth, and Stillwater. While we sought State regulation of the sale of these fertilizers, this broad of a scope proved unpassable. By restricting the use of such fertilizers, however, we believe that manufacturers and retailers will not want to cause or abet illegal activity by their customers; hence, they will need to make low- and no-phosphorus fertilizers readily available to consumers. The key provisions in the legislation, nearly all of which will take effect January 1, 2004: . . Maximum of 0% phosphorus content in the seven-county Metro area, and 3% phosphorus content in the rest of Minnesota, will be allowed to be used, (Reasonable exceptions, of course: establishment of new turf, or soil test results showing a deficien9Y of phosphorus.) . Non-metro local units of government may adopt ordinances to go to 0% phosphorus, provided that they subsequently notify the Department of Agriculture, . Local ordinances more restrictive than the new law are grand fathered if they were effective prior to August 1,2002. (The League of Minnesota Cities and Association of Metropolitan Municipalities are developing sample/model ordinances for cities that may want to have restrictions on the sale of fertilizers with phosphorus.) . Golf courses and commercial applicators are exempted, provided they have State license, training, or certification. · The Department of Agriculture, with consultation from other interested organizations, will develop point-of-sale information. n '.~ PRINTEO ON RECYCLED PAPER Tomorrow's Event Page 1 of 1 ' FYI Diane Ward From: Craig Dawson [cdawson@ci.shorewood.mn.us] .

The chorus competed against choruses from North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and a large part of Canada. This win entitles the chorus to compete in the International Competition to be held in Phoenix, AZ in 2003. The year 2003 is also the 20th anniversary of the Vallee de Croix Chorus. Is it possible for your website to run a headline stating something like, "Stillwater, home to the 2002 Can/Am Region 6 Champions, Vallee de Croix Chorus (a chapter of Sweet Adelines International)" I'm not sure if you put things of this nature at your site, but just wanted you to know.

A meeting was scheduled for 8:00 PM on March 11, 2002 by the Stillwater Planning commission. It did not start until after 9:30 PM. Many of the residents got tired of waiting and left. The next meeting was scheduled to start at 8:00 PM on April 8, 2002. We and a few others waited until 8:30 PM and left after being told that there were five more cases scheduled to be herd before our meeting was going to even start. If you want our input, then start the meetings on time. If you are so busy that this is not possible, then I suggest that you table this subject until you have the time to listen.

Inouye, Chairman Defense Appropriations Subcommittee 722 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Inouye: I am writing on behalf of the Stillwater City Council, the 1 st Brigade, 34th Infantry Division of the Minnesota National Guard, and the citizens of Stillwater and the surrounding communities. We urge you to include in the FY 2003 Appropriations Bill $4.6 million for the construction of a new armory for the Stillwater National Guard. The City remains the number one priority for armory construction for the Minnesota National Guard, and we have been working with Eugene Andriatti, Adjutant General for the State Department of Military Affairs, and his staff on this project since the City deeded the land to the National Guard for the Armory in 1986. The Armory facility currently in use was constructed 84 years ago, and is functionally inadequate to support the requirements of the Headquarters Company for the Minnesota National Guard. There are acute space deficiencies for classrooms, training areas, administrative services, secured equipment storage, and very little parking available for either military personnel or civilians. These problems seriously restrict the ability of the Division to effectively train personnel, and to conduct and achieve their assigned mission. The new facility will be connected to the St. Croix Valley Recreational Center which houses two ice rinks with bleachers for spectators, locker and shower facilities, and two full size soccer fields in a domed arena. The Center was completed in 2000, at a cost of $7 million, will be available for use by the Guard for training purposes. The City has plans to enlarge the National Guard Armory by adding a second floor to the facility, and increasing the size from the 39,615 square feet required by the Guard to 70,000 square feet. The second floor expansion will include large classrooms, and other amenities at no cost to the Federal government, but they will be available to the Guard for their use as needed. Further, the in-<Joor soccer fields will provide an area for drill, shower and washroom facilities, and other training and classroom space needed by the Guard during the Winter months will be available to the Guard unit. Both the Minnesota State Armory Commission and the City have allocated funds for the plans and design of the new facility. The 34th Infantry Division is the Headquarters Company for the Minnesota National Guard, and plays a major role in providing recreational resources for the community. While the facility's use is limited at the present time, it is still used extensively by the community for Boy Scout meetings, special events, daily use of the gymnasium, and other local events. The new facility would expand the multi functional use of the building considerably. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612.439.6121 The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman We recognize the difficult task you have in the allocation of funds for the FY 2003 . appropriations, however, the Stillwater National Guard has provided personnel in every U.S. conflict since the Civil War. The armory now in use was constructed in 1922, in the downtown section of the City, and is the oldest armory in use in the State. We respectfully request your consideration for the allocation of funds for this project in the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee action this year. Respectfully yours, Jay L. Kimble, Mayor This letter with minor changes was also mailed to: Senator Wellstone Chairperson Dianne Feinstein, Military Construction Subcommittee Senator Dayton John P.

Please give a copy of this letter to your staff engineer. First, the good news: the need to rebuild and improve Minnesota's transportation infrastructure has enjoyed increasing public support in recent years. Recent studies have indicated road and bridge needs far exceed available resources, and delaying needed improvements has made matters worse. State policy makers appear to have been persuaded that preserving the state's road and bridge infrastructure as a capital asset is crucial to achieving broader policy objectives, such as economic development, congestion relief, mobility, public safety, and agricultural and tourism needs in greater Minnesota. Now, the bad news: due in part to the sheer magnitude oflocal road and bridge needs, the costs of the vast majority of city transportation improvements will probably continue to be supported by local resources - primarily property taxes. The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), the City Engineers' Association of Minnesota (CEAM), and the Minnesota Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APW A) believe the time is right for cities to devote energy to convey the critical nature of city roadway needs to policy makers and the public. To this end, LMC, CEAM, and APW A are co-sponsoring a project to develop a single- source reference guide, representing the collective experience of all Minnesota municipalities and identifYing the construction, maintenance, and expansion needs for city road systems throughout the state. The guide could be used for the following purposes: . To convince federal and state officials that your transportation funding needs are critical and warrant their immediate attention. · To inform elected officials, city staff members, and the public about existing and projected deficiencies in your roadway system; · To persuade elected officials and the public that projects to improve roadway safety and carrying capacity should be accelerated; and . To identify policy and funding options to accomplish a more aggressive, cost-effective program to preserve and improve your roadways; . You may ask: "How many cities need to get involved to get legislation favorable to cities?" The answer is: "ALL OF US!" In a few weeks, you will be receiving a short survey on road and bridge funding. Because we understand that city staff members have busy schedules and other important work to attend to, we have gone to great lengths to make this survey simple to complete. We strongly encourage you to complete and return the survey, or to assign this task to the appropriate person, so that cities will be empowered to make the strongest possible case for increased funding options for city road and bridge purposes. Whether your primary concerns are deferred maintenance, safety, congestion, highway access, or all-season carrying capacity, this study will use the best available quantitative data to present a credible and compelling case for addressing existing and projected municipal roadway deficiencies. Using this information, we will attempt to develop creative, but prudent, policy and funding options to accomplish an aggressive, cost-effective program to preserve and improve your roadways. . Thanks very much for your assistance in this important endeavor. We look forward to working with you. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments regarding this effort, please contact Matt Shands of the Transportation Policy Institute at (651) 917-2519. Matt will be managing the data collection effort for this project.

TWIN CITIES' PROMISE SEEKS AREA COMMUNITIES TO JOIN PROMISE STATION: ONLINE TECHNOLOGY TO MOBILIZE TWIN CITIES' AROUND YOUTH WILL DEBUT IN MID-2002 MINNEAPOLIS (April 15, 2002) - Twin Cities' Promise is inviting communities around the Twin Cities to become a Community of Promise and join the soon-to-be launched Twin Cities' Promise Station. The Promise Station is a Web site that will revolutionize the way communities unite around youth in the Twin Cities by enabling people to help youth where they live, work and worship using their own skills, talents and interests. f ~Y..-V:- e" '~e~~~~~~.\e\"\~ Communities within the seven-county metro area with programs or services which fulfill one or more of the Five Promises of America's Promise - caring adults, safe places, a healthy start, marketable skills and opportunities to serve-are invited to become part of the Promise Station. "Many Twin Cities-area communities already are Communities of Promise and just aren't aware of it," explains Galuh Wulan, project manager for Twin Cities' Promise. "Simply, a Community of Promise is a neighborhood, town, city or county that builds the character and competence of young people by fulfilling all Five Promises of America's Promise." Area communities can either become an official Community of Promise and receive recognition from the national America's Promise movement, or simply choose to partner with Twin Cities Promise by including relevant information and volunteer opportunities on the Promise Station. "Twin Cities Promise and the Promise Station are not government programs," says Wulan. "It is companies, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, public officials, schools, congregations, young people and many others are working together at the local level to create a network of support to increase vital resources for children." "The Promise Station is a great way for the many organizations around the Twin Cities to collaborate," continues Wulan. "Rather than replicate a service or agency, Twin Cities' Promise Station seeks only to increase awareness of existing nonprofits, and to give community members a chance to help youth by volunteering Currently, Rosemount and Bloomington are two Communities of Promise within the Twin Cities. Communities who wish to take advantage of this opportunity can call Twin Cities' Promise at 651-PROMISE (651-776-6473). There is no charge to become a part of the Twin Cities' Promise Station. .
