AGENDA Mayor Harycki called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. Present: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Staff present: City Administrator Hansen City Attorney Magnuson Community Development Director Turnblad Finance Director Harrison Fire Chief Glaser Police Chief Gannaway Public Works Director Sanders City Clerk Ward Chamber Update Jennifer Severson, executive director of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, provided an update on Chamber activities. She talked about the strategic plan and the three major areas the Chamber will be focusing on in the next three to five years: advocating for members, in particular advocating for the Stillwater bridge project; reinventing how the Chamber serves its members now that the CVB issue has been resolved; and developing an economic development strategy. Ms. Severson highlighted two major events that have the potential to impact Stillwater, its businesses and residents - the Minnesota sesquicentennial celebration and the Republican national convention. She stated a number of the sesquicentennial events are scheduled to kick off in mid-May and the Chamber is hoping to support programs being offered by the Washington County Historical Society. She stated the Chamber has also worked with the Sesquicentennial Commission to have the local 4th of July fireworks designated as the official fireworks for the birthday of Minnesota. She said promoting Stillwater as the birthplace of Minnesota is being worked into a number of the Chamber's promotional campaigns for 2008. Regarding the Republican convention and that she is working with the Explore Minnesota metro tourism committee on media tours and story ideas for the media, noting that 15,000 media members will be in the Twin City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Cities during the convention. She stated Stillwater may be the only community outside of St. Paul and Minneapolis that gets its own media tour. Ms. Severson provided an update on the Downtown Merchants Association. She said four working committees -- promotions, economic development, membership, design and beautification -- and a leadership team made up of the chairs of the working committees have been formed. She briefly reviewed the role/responsibilities of each of the committees. She talked about cleanup efforts and stated assistance has been requested from the Washington County Sentence to Serve program for the spring cleanup effort as well as on a regularly scheduled basis, perhaps once a month. Ms. Severson told the Council that the Merchants Association/Chamber has been working for about two months on developing guidelines for sandwich boards. Ms. Severson said there is a request for $5,250 in funding for beautification projects. Mayor Harycki stated the City has been holding $3,000 in funding since 2004 that was raised and donated by some downtown merchants to be expended in the downtown area. Mayor Harycki noted that an event fee has been proposed as a way of raising money for beautification efforts. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Gag directing the donated $3,000 in funding to the Chamber for the annual plantings. All in favor. Council member Polehna expressed a concern about maintenance of the plantings; Ms. Severson said they are attempting to address that issue, perhaps with the designation of block captains. Council member Gag asked if the City had an ordinance relating to cleanliness and business owners' responsibilities in that area; Community Development Director Turnblad responded that unless there is a safety issue involved, the City relies on the building owners to take care of their property. Mayor Harycki asked that staff look at the possibility of charging an event fee with proceeds to fund beautification projects and come back with a recommendation. Councilmember Milbrandt proposed legalizing and developing guidelines for sandwich boards, including appropriate locations, and issuing permits for the placement of the sandwich boards at the appropriate locations; a percentage of the annual fee for the sandwich board permits would be designated for downtown beautification projects, with the remainder designated for general downtown projects, such as public restrooms or cleanup, etc., as proposed by Mr. Milbrandt. It was noted that the Chamber will be bringing a proposal regarding sandwich boards to the Council in May. It was consensus to discuss the event fee proposal and sandwich board issue at that time. There was discussion as to whether delaying action might impact the timetable for plantings; Councilmember Milbrandt suggested the City could loan the Chamber the additional $2,250 to be repaid at no interest. No action was taken. Page 2 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Marathon (2009) and Lumberiack Davs Update - St. Croix Events - Dave Eckberq Dave Eckberg, St. Croix Events, updated the Council on the status of plans for the first- ever local marathon. He stated that he has spoken with Chief Gannaway, Sheriff Hutton and MnDOT folks and plans have been given preliminary approval. He noted that he had provided a fact sheet outlining the proposal. He stated it is difficult to estimate the number of participants at this point, but said it might be possible there would be 500- 1,000 participants in the first several years. He would not want to cap the number of participants. He stated organizers would reimburse the City and any other agencies for security costs. Councilmember Nyberg expressed a concern about not capping the number of participants at some level since this is a new event and there are so many unknowns; Mr. Eckberg agreed that they would not want to exceed the ability to serve the racers, and they want this to be a quality event. Council member Gag asked about parking. Mr. Eckberg explained that racers would be bused to the starting point from several parking lots (for the different races) and also bused back to their respective parking lots. Mayor Harycki asked if Chief Gannaway could check with the police/sheriff's department in Duluth and Hennepin County to get feedback regarding those marathons; Chief Gannaway said he would do that. Council member Nyberg asked whether both north and south Lowell Park would be used; Mr. Eckberg said that is something that can be adjusted. Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to give concept approval to the marathon subject to final approval of the special event permit. All in favor. Regarding Lumberjack Days, Mr. Eckberg told the Council they have an agreement with an artist to perform a kids' concert subject to being able to accommodate the artist's appearance on Wednesday night. He explained the concept of having a major kids' concert came about from a petition submitted by some local youths after last year's Jonas Brothers concert. He mentioned that he had talked with Chief Gannaway regarding security scenarios. He reviewed the proposal for the Wednesday night concert, which would be an addendum, to the existing contract: Lumberjack Days be allowed to hold a kids' concert on Wednesday, July 23, at Lowell Park; the concert would start following the kickoff at the Courthouse, so there will be no impact on that event; no beer will be served; the concert will end at 10 p.m. and the Park cleared by 10:30 p.m.; Lumberjack Days will reimburse the City $5,000 for police and fire costs. He noted that by moving the kids' concert to Wednesday. He stated the proposal is for a $10 cover charge for the kid's concert. He informed the Council that because of a suggestion by Alex Roush, the Saturday afternoon concert time is opened up for performances by local high school students that have a "garage" band and this would be called the Stillwater High School Band Show Case. Councilmember Nyberg asked about attendance limit; Mr. Eckberg said that would be based on the security coverage, and Chief Glaser said staff would determine that after reviewing the final concert/park layout. Mr. Eckberg agreed that attendance would be limited by code parameters. There was discussion about the potential crowd draw. Councilmember Milbrandt pointed out the agreement in place between the City and Lumberjack Days provides for cost- Page 3 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 sharing and he spoke in favor of staying with the agreement, amending it so the Wednesday concert can be held but maintaining the cost-sharing arrangement. Mr. Eckberg stated the cost-sharing model cannot work with this performance; he stated this is a one-year opportunity and is for the kids. Mayor Harycki pointed out this was not a premeditated move on Mr. Eckberg's part. Mr. Eckberg said they would reimburse the City for 100 percent of the police and fire costs, with no cap, for the Wednesday night concert. Councilmember Nyberg suggested using the cost-share for any attendance over 9,000 (based on Mr. Eckberg's break-even number of an attendance of 8,500). Mr. Eckberg suggested a 50-50 cost-share for attendance over 10,000. Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Gag to amend the Lumberjack Days model on a one-year contract to allow the Wednesday night concert with a 50-50 cost-share on any attendance over 10,000 and 100 percent reimbursement to the City for police and fire services. Motion passed 4-1, Council member Milbrandt voting no. Fire Chief Glaser pointed out that he is not certain until reviewing final layout what the attendance maximum might be. Mr. Eckberg announced that the Wednesday night concert talent would be Corbin Bleu from High School Musical. STAFF REPORTS Chief Gannaway announced that his department would be working with the Bayport Police Department on the annual Safety Camp on June 16 and June 17. Also, the Stillwater Police Department is hosting a Bike Rodeo May 10 at Lily Lake Elementary School. Council member Polehna asked if there were plans to do a child safety event for the entire community, similar to an event hosted by the Liberty Homeowners Association. Chief Gannaway said a similar presentation is given at Safety Camp. Councilmember Milbrandt talked about a resource on Internet safety which could be provided for the Camp. Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed a draft of an informational brochure regarding sign regulations that will be provided to downtown business owners, along with a brief cover letter. Several weeks after the brochure has been distributed, staff will go downtown and contact, by follow-up letter, those businesses that are still not in compliance with regulations and it is hoped that most problems will be resolved in this manner. He said the issue of sandwich boards can be addressed separately and he invited comments on the draft brochure. The meeting was recessed at 5:53 p.m. RECESSED MEETING 7:00 P.M. Mayor Harycki called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Present: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Page 4 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Staff present: City Administrator Hansen City Attorney Magnuson Community Development Director Turnblad Finance Director Harrison Fire Chief Glaser Police Chief Gannaway Public Works Director Sanders Assistant Engineer Kraftson City Clerk Ward Mayor Harycki led the Council and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Public Administration. requlations to add "Libraries. art qalleries. theaters for the performing arts and other such cultural facilities" permitted uses in the district and any variances related thereto. Notices were mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 21. 2008. Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request. He noted the proposed uses are compatible with the PA zoning district and most of the uses are already allowed in the zoning district. He stated the Planning Commission recommended that the uses be allowed with a Special Use Permit rather than being permitted uses. He noted that language defining theaters as performing arts theaters had been added, and staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to designate the requested uses as allowed with a Special Use Permit in the PA Zoning District. Page 6 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing. No comments were received, and the hearing was closed. Motion by Council member Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the first reading of an ordinance for a Zoning Text Amendment to the PA, Public Administration, regulations to add "Libraries, art galleries, theaters for the performing arts and other such cultural facilities" permitted uses in the district and any variances related thereto.

Subd. 9 entitled "Relief for senior citizens and the disabled" City Clerk Ward noted this is a housekeeping issue to reflect changes in the contract with the hauler. Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Polehna to adopt Ordinance No. 992._an ordinance amending Stillwater City Code 930-1 Subd. 8 entitled "Fees" and 930-1, Subd. 9 entitled "Relief for senior citizens and the disabled". Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Fire Station Site Feasibility Study - Contract for Services with Loucks Associates Fire Chief Glaser reviewed the request to enter into a contract with Loucks Associates to continue the site feasibility study for a potential new fire station at the 2000 West Myrtle Street site. Mayor Harycki asked if the consultants would be looking at other potential sites or only the West Myrtle Street site; Chief Glaser responded the study would focus solely on the Myrtle Street site. Councilmember Milbrandt noted the Council would be holding a workshop on April 25 to discuss priorities for capital expenditures and suggested this request be considered after that time. Mr. Milbrandt also noted that the City cannot meet some of the terms of the proposed contract as the City does not own or have title to some of the property being investigated; he also expressed disappointment that other sites were not being looked at. Councilmember Nyberg spoke in favor of proceeding in order to get a better idea of the feasibility of constructing on the site; he also pointed out that the City does own most of the land in question, and wherever a new facility is constructed, the City will have to acquire some property. Page 7 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Mayor Harycki agreed that it might be better to wait until after the discussion setting priorities, given the situation with state aid and the unknown budget constraints. On a request from Councilmember Gag, Chief Glaser reviewed the history of the previous fire service delivery study, which provided the City with three deployment options - two two-station options and one single-station option - and identified, based on run response times and coverage area, where those potential sites might be. He stated the decision was subsequently made that the City is not interested in pursuing the two-station option. He stated the single-station option site identified as most appropriate according to the original service delivery study is in the area of the Jaycee ball field, but noted that does not preclude investigating/identifying other sites in that approximate vicinity. However, Chief Glaser pointed out that moving a facility to a different location might affect response times. Chief Glaser also stated Loucks understands the City does not own all of the property at the West Myrtle Street site; he also pointed out that the City cannot apply for any cleanup grants until a conceptual site plan is in place. Council member Polehna said he recalled that Loucks called a halt to the first site feasibility study because it was their opinion that the costs would be too prohibitive to utilize that site. Chief Glaser said he would be open to looking at other sites, but said he thought the direction from Council was to re-Iook at this site due to the potential for cleanup grants; applying for cleanup funding requires going to the next step and developing a master site plan. Council member Milbrandt said the 2005 study provided a fairly good idea of the amount of acreage needed for a single-station delivery system and suggested it would not be too difficult to identify other sites with the necessary amount of acreage, rather than spending millions of dollars cleaning up the Myrtle Street site. Councilmember Nyberg said the area identified as appropriate for a one-station option limits potential sites. Councilmember Milbrandt spoke in favor of identifying potential private sites and noted that response times are not the only criteria for locating a station. Mayor Harycki agreed that he would be interested in looking at other potential sites before spending $21,000 on this proposed contract. Councilmember Nyberg pointed out that the only sites near the area likely involve non- willing sellers, and that this is a matter of public safety that shouldn't continually be put off. Council member Gag suggested that when the Council prioritizes its capital expenditures it would be helpful to have values. Councilmember Nyberg suggested the City will be faced with "sticker shock" when it comes to possible purchase of any other site. No action was taken. I nformation from consultant on alqae control for McKusick Lake Public Works Director Sanders reviewed the memo from Joe Bischoff, Wench Associates, related to algae control options for Lake McKusick. The memo noted that the use of herbicides to control algae or plant growth controls only the symptoms, not the cause of the problem, and that mechanical harvesting of algal mats has little or no ecological benefit to Lake McKusick. The memo also stated that algaecides in certain doses may be toxic to fish and zooplankton may die or be unable to reproduce. Mr. Sanders stated a report will be released from the Conservation District in the upcoming weeks that will indicate the McKusick water quality is actually improving. Page 8 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 NEW BUSINESS Request for variance to noise ordinance - (Library Terrace) - Auqust 8.2008 - Rachel Peterson represented by Sherah Peterson & Request for variance to noise ordinance (Library Terrace) - Auqust 31.2008 - Erin Keto represented by Alex Keto City Clerk Ward stated the City had received two requests for variances to the noise ordinance for events on the library terrace, a variance request to have music until 11 :30 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2008, and another to have music until 11 p.m. on Aug. 31. She suggested additional requests for variances likely will be received and asked for direction on how to address these and future requests. Ms. Ward stated she had talked with Library Director Bertalmio regarding the location of the speakers, and the amplification will be directed to the south. It was noted that in the past, applicants for such variances were notified that they may be asked to turn the music down if complaints are received. In discussion, it was noted this is an issue that will have to be addressed for the long-term in a consistent manner. Ms. Ward also noted that the library's policy is that all events must be concluded by 11 :30 p.m. so the building can be closed at midnight. City Administrator Hansen asked if this was to be the Council's policy for future variance requests; Council member Milbrandt suggested amending the motion to indicate this is policy until the Council revisits the issue at the end of the outdoor wedding season. Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Council member Gag to grant the variance requests to the noise ordinance to 11 :30 p.m. to be consistent with the library's closing policy, with the understanding the applicants may be asked to turn the volume down if a complaint is received and that this is policy until the Council revisits the issue at the end of the outdoor wedding season. All in favor. Possible one-year extension of SUP for SuperValu (Cub Foods) Fuel Center at Stillwater Marketplace Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed Cub Foods' request of an extension of the Special Use Permit for a fuel center, an SUP that was initially granted on Sept. 5, 2006. He stated that Cub has been working diligently at getting all the necessary agreements and approval is recommended. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Polehna to approve the one-year extension of Cub Food's Special Use Permit for a fuel center. All in favor. Possible acceptance of feasibility report and callinq for hearinq for 2008 Street Improvement Proiect Assistant City Engineer Kraftson reviewed the proposed 2008 street improvement project area. He noted that the proposed streets are all in the poor or worst category Page 9 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 identified in the 2007 pavement management plan; there is a mixture of curb types in the project area, and most of the streets have sidewalks on one or both sides. He stated the sanitary sewer is in good condition, but there are quite a few brick manholes which allow water inflow. The Water Board has identified 21 properties with galvanized service that should be replaced and some storm sewer catch basins are in need of replacement in the project area. With the exception of Orwell Court and Olive Street, he stated all of the streets are proposed for full reconstruction, with new curb and gutter; only those sidewalks that meet replacement criteria will be redone. He continued by informing the Council that some street widths may be adjusted and that the project includes 26 new/replacement catch basins, with several rain gardens proposed to meet the infiltration requirements of the Middle St. Croix Water Management Organization. The project also includes replacement of the 21 galvanized water services, rehabilitation of 19 brick manholes, some new sanitary sewer line, and three new fire hydrants. Total estimated cost of the project is $1,472,000, including $42,000 for the new water services, which, according to City policy, will be 100 percent assessed to benefiting property owners. There is a piece of City property in the project area, with a footage cost of $38,000 to be paid by the City. The remaining cost of the project is proposed to be paid on a 50-50 basis between the City and residents. The nine commercial properties in the project area would be assessed on a front footage method; the remaining properties would be assessed on the unit method. Mr. Kraftson reviewed a proposed revised assessment formula for multi-family properties in the project area. He noted that the properties on Orwell Court are proposed to be assessed separately since that street will be constructed as a rural street without curb and gutter. He reviewed the various unit assessment amounts as proposed and possible project timeline. Mayor Harycki asked if it would still be possible to add some street sections to the project should bids be exceptionally good. City Attorney Magnuson said that would depend on the area described in the notice of the improvement hearing, so the City could send notice to a wider area in the improvement hearing to preserve the option of adding to the project. Public Works Director Sanders suggested that if bids allow additional work, it might be possible to do a mill-and-overlay project that wouldn't require a lot of engineering. Mayor Harycki said he had received a call from a resident on Dallagher Court regarding the condition of that street and asked that staff check that out before sending notices. Council member Nyberg suggested focusing on the main streets in next year's project. Motion Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt to adopt Resolution 2008-41, resolution receiving report and calling hearing on 2008 Street Improvement Project (Project 2008-02). Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Milbrandt, Nyberg, Polehna and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Page 10 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS Vern Stefan, Mainstream Development, was in attendance. Mayor Harycki reviewed the issue of the City vacating the parking easement for 17 spaces in exchange for Mr. Stefan providing public restrooms in his new office/retail building and the various proposals discussed to date. Mr. Stefan said he had made some adjustments to the proposal presented in December and said he would like the issue resolved so they can move forward with the project. Mayor Harycki asked if the City would be in a position to send someone down on weekends to check on the conditions of the restrooms; City Administrator Hansen stated summer help is now being hired with the understanding that some weekend work may be involved. Councilmember Milbrandt said the agreement proposed by Mr. Stefan talks about providing space but not constructing and says nothing about maintenance. Mr. Stefan said Mainstream would construct the restrooms, however his primary concern is with weekends and security issues. Councilmember Nyberg asked if the agreement would address quality of construction; Mr. Stefan said that was addressed in the original proposal. Councilmember Nyberg questioned whether it might not be wiser to have an agreement for cash in lieu of facilities at this location. Councilmember Gag said the agreement dated December 2007 seems to be in the spirit of the original intent of vacating the parking easement. City Attorney Magnuson summed up the Council's wishes regarding the agreement as: Mr. Stefan (Mainstream Development) will build and own the restrooms, and maintain the restrooms except on weekends when the City will be responsible for opening and maintaining the restrooms. City Administrator Hansen asked if Mr. Stefan would still be agreeable to signage indicating the location of public restrooms; Mr. Stefan said he would be agreeable to that as long as the signage is in keeping with good sign design. Mr. Stefan reiterated his concern about security on weekends. Councilmember Nyberg asked about the duration of any agreement; Mayor Harycki pointed out that the parking easement was for an in definite period of time, unless not used for a period of two years when it would revert to the owner, and suggested a similar term might be appropriate. Councilmember Milbrandt cautioned that the City still has a parking situation and a parking ramp under discussion and before jumping to the conclusion of vacating 17 parking stalls downtown that factor be taken into consideration; Mayor Harycki pointed out that the City had previously agreed to vacate the parking easement with the condition that the developer consider providing public restrooms. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Council member Nyberg to direct City Attorney Magnuson to continue to refine the agreement with Mainstream Development. All in favor. Councilmember Polehna asked about scheduling a possible City cleanup days, saying he had received a lot of calls/correspondence about junk in people's yards. Clerk Ward pointed out a hazardous waste collection day is scheduled for May 17. Council member Milbrandt pointed out that the City did away with special cleanup days as the agreement with the trash hauler provides that the hauler will pick up anything with advance notice. Page 11 of 12 City Council Meeting - 08-07 April 1, 2008 Council member Polehna reiterated his concern about getting people to clean up their properties. Chief Gannaway stated that if there are specific properties of concern to let the police department know the properties and officers can investigate the problems. Mayor Harycki suggested discussing this issue at a future 4:30 workshop session. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Council member Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Polehn to adjourn at 8:48 p.m. All in favor.
