OTHER BUSINESS
Chamber Update - Jennifer Severson
Jennifer Severson, executive director of the Greater Stillwater Chamber, gave an
update on the Chamber and some of its initiatives for 2009. She stated with the
formation of the CVB (convention and visitors bureau), the Chamber is transitioning
from a CVB model chamber to a traditional chamber. The three major initiatives include
local marketing, business advocacy and economic development. To kick off the three
initiatives, a leadership forum is tentatively scheduled for May 26. Ms. Severson
described some of the projects the Chamber is working on, including involvement with
the East Metro Transportation Alliance, downtown beautification, and special events.
.
Mayor Harycki noted the issue of general downtown cleanliness/presentability has come
up in several conversations and asked whether the Chamber is doing anything about
this issue. Ms. Severson suggested part of the solution is individual responsibility on the
part of businesses. Councilmember Roush asked about the impact of special events on
downtown businesses. Ms. Severson responded that any event that brings people to
town creates the potential for those people to turn into customers and that a recent
study by ArtReach Alliance had very positive results on the side of economic impact of
events. She said she would like to see the special events task force look more deeply at
economic impact to assist with making educated decisions regarding events.
Councilmember Cook asked if the Chamber would be taking advantage of University of
City Council Meeting
May 5,2009
Minnesota resources in evaluating the impact of events, such as the marathon; Ms.
Severson said that (evaluation) was part of the contract with the marathon. Mayor
Harycki noted the City had received a request for a beer-tasting event, an event that the
Parks Board recommended to be denied; he asked Ms. Severson whether this is the
type of event the Chamber would see as being beneficial to downtown. Ms. Severson
said the Chamber has not addressed this event as a Board so she could not make any
official recommendation to that specific event; however she would have to look at the
targeted audience and geographic area and other specifics. Councilmember Polehna
suggested it might be a good thing for the Chamber to educate businesses on
marketing strategies to take advantage of the special events. Councilmember Gag
asked for an update on the Downtown Merchants Association; Ms. Severson gave a
brief overview of the Association's activities. On a question by Mayor Harycki, Ms.
Severson described marketing efforts for promotion of the marathon. Mayor Harycki
noted the City will be implementing an initiative to clean up graffiti; Ms. Severson said
the Chamber would be happy to get the word out. Mayor Harycki asked about putting
information on the City web site; City Clerk Ward said it would be possible to put a
reporting form on the site.
Possible approval of Special Event - Chamber's VintaQe Car Show
City Clerk Ward reviewed the special event request. She stated the request was
reviewed by the Parks Commission and Downtown Parking Commission, with both
groups recommending approval. Ms. Ward said there was one potential date conflict,
that with setup for Lumberjack Days. Ms. Severson said it has been decided to not have
a car show on the date in question. She said the good experience with the car shows
during Summer Tuesdays resulted in the plan to turn the shows into a separate event.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Gag to approve the special
event as presented. All in favor.
STAFF REPORTS
Fire Chief Glaser updated the Council on a serious fire that occurred in the 700-block of
South Holcombe Street. He stated the fire was well under way before firefighters arrived
on scene, and it is believed the fire started on the outside deck of the home and spread
to the detached garage and into the interior of the home. He said about 25 personnel
were on scene with Bayport assisting on mutual aid. No injuries were reported to the
residents or responders.
Community Development Director Turnblad gave an update on the ramp project, noting
the foundation work is about three-fourths completed. Mayor Harycki asked about
budget; Mr. Turnblad stated there will be additional costs due to the need for exporting
and importing good materials for the foundation work.
Public Works Director Sanders updated the Council on a meeting with MnDOT
regarding a mill and overlay project MnDOT will be doing on Highway 95. He said the
Page 2 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
work will begin at Highway 97 in Scandia and continue through downtown Stillwater to
about the Highway 36/95 bridge and will be completed over a two-year period. He said
the work in Stillwater is scheduled for April-May 2010. All pedestrian ramps and traffic
signal pedestrian crossings will be updated to meet ADA standards. He said several
additional meetings are scheduled and it has been suggested that perhaps the
downtown Stillwater work could be scheduled for nighttime to minimize traffic disruption.
He noted there is some cost share for the City involved in the project. Mayor Harycki
asked about pothole repair. Mr. Sanders said the focus now is on sealing cracks;
pothole patching will resume in June, but that residents can call to report any severe
potholes and crews will make every effort to do the repair as expeditiously as possible.
Mayor Harycki noted there is a pothole reporting link on the City's web site.
Finance Director Harrison listed possible budget calendar dates. Possible workshop
dates were Tuesday, July 14, 4:30-to be determined; July 28, 4:30-6 p.m.; August 11,
4:30-to be determined; Aug. 18,4:30-6 p.m.; August. 25, 4:30-to be determined. After
discussion, it was decided to schedule the workshops for July 28 and August 11, with
August 18 a reserve date if needed.
Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to set the budget
workshops for July 28 and August 11, with the August 18 as a reserve date.
Councilmember Polehna suggested adding changing the regular August 5 Council
meeting date to July 28 due to a conflict with National Night Out.
Councilmember Cook agreed to amend her motion to include that change as suggested.
Councilmember Polehna seconded the amended motion. All in favor.
Finance
Director Harrison stated because the proposed levy and budget must be certified to
Washington County by September 15, the Council must adopt the levy on September 1,
with September 8 as a supplementary meeting if needed.
Motion Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Cook to adopt the dates for
adoption of the levy as recommended by Ms. Harrison. All in favor.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, moved approval of
the April 21, 2009, regular meeting minutes. All in favor.
Mayor Harycki noted the passing of Bob Thompson and acknowledged some of Mr.
Thompson's efforts on behalf of the City.
OPEN FORUM
Mike Robinson, 801 W. Pine St., gave a presentation on Stillwater parks which
highlighted the provision of picnic tables and pavilions and other amenities. He spoke of
the need for picnic tables in Lowell Park and also suggested the provision of skateboard
elements downtown given the popularity of that sport. Public Works Director Sanders
said he would look into the possibility of using some tables the City had received from
the School District. City Administrator Hansen pointed out it is more than just putting
some tables in Lowell Park - a concrete slab has to be laid and the tables chained
down to avoid vandalism and having the tables thrown in the River.
Alex Roush, Eagle Ridge Court, told the Council he is working on his Eagle Scout
project, constructing a canoe launch and dock at Lake McKusick. He said his project
has been approved by the Parks Board and asked for Council approval.
Alex Roush noted that because the Park Board has recommended a new location for
the launch/dock, the project will be more costly and wondered whether the City could be
of any assistance. Public Works Director Sanders said the City might be of assistance in
providing needed gravel. Mayor Harycki suggested checking with other civic
organizations and the McKusick Homeowners Association regarding other donations.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve of the proposed
Eagle Scout project. Motion passed 4-0, with Councilmember Roush abstaining.
CONSENT AGENDA
Councilmember Roush said he would like to hear from Fire Chief Glaser before
approving the application for sale of fireworks. Chief Glaser said this is an annual
process - permits are sold to any establishment selling fireworks within the store and
Page 4 of 12
City Council Meeting

the fire department then inspects the store; and that stores must comply with code and
said he did not foresee any problems.
Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the Consent
Agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
No Public Hearings
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible approval of lease aoreement renewal- Max Todo Marine Services
City Attorney Magnuson reviewed the special process used in the original agreement in
1999. He noted that the lease has been reviewed in three-year increments, with several
conditions, such as accommodating the state of Minnesota during the bridge
construction process, added over the years. Mayor Harycki said he was surprised to
learn that this was City property and suggested there is a lot of potential public use for
the property. Community Development Director pointed out there is a full-blown plan for
the property, including a trail system to be constructed as part of the bridge mitigation
efforts, and the relocation of the Shoddy Mill buildings to a portion of the site. Tom
Huninghake, owner of Max Todo, described some of the services he provides.
Councilmember Roush said he had a problem with the agreement, utilizing public
facilities for a private enterprise. Mayor Harycki agreed with that concern and said he
didn't see any public benefit in maintaining a decaying boat. Councilmember Polehna
pointed out this property has been in limbo due to the bridge/levee wall projects.
Councilmember Cook expressed a concern about liability issues; City Attorney
Magnuson said this is covered under the City's general liability insurance.
Councilmember Roush suggested that, at a minimum, the City ought to charge rent for
the use of the facilities/property; City Attorney Magnuson pointed out the agreement
provided for in-kind obligations in services/repairs in lieu of rent. City Administrator
Hansen suggested, as a compromise, granting an extension through 2009 and
addressing the issue again early in 2010; he also suggested in the meantime that Mr.
Turnblad show the Council the plans that have been developed for this property. Mayor
Harycki said he would be comfortable with the 6-month extension but said he would like
to see some rent attached to the extension; he suggested a token $1,500 rent.
Page 5 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Gag to approve a six-month extension
with a $1,500 a month lease payment effective May 1. All in favor. '
Mr. Huninghake asked for a 45-day extension after which time he would vacate the
premises. Mr. Magnuson said he could write that into the extension agreement.
Housino Ordinance Information
City Attorney Magnuson reviewed the City's previous experience with enactment of
housing/health regulations. He pointed out that most local regulations are now codified
in the Uniform Building Code and County health regulations, so in 1987, the City deleted
its local regulations. Councilmember Roush spoke of accountability by landlords. There
was a discussion of staffing needs.
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion on Special Event - Liquid Twelve Events - Beer Samplino
Matt Keneven, 1133 Shelby Ave., St. Paul, reviewed the request/plans for a beer
sampling event. He noted there are two charities involved in the tastings, including one
local charity, which in Stillwater will be either the Sunrise Rotary or the Hockey
Association. Councilmember Cook noted the Parks Commission had recommended
denial of the event application; Councilmember Polehna stated the Parks Commission
recommended denial because this is a for-profit event and because of a long-standing
policy to limit events in Lowell Park due to the negative impact on the Park from over-
use. Mr. Keneven stated the plans are to hold the event in the parking lot area, not in
the park grass area. Councilmember Gag suggested this is a good example of the need
for the special events task force to set better direction; he noted he would be abstaining
due to his membership in the Sunrise Rotary. Councilmember Roush asked if it has
been confirmed if the local charities are involved. City Administrator Hansen spoke to
the past practice of limiting events in Lowell Park and limiting use to non-profits.
Councilmember Cook noted the special events task force would be looking at setting
standards for the kinds of events the City wants to promote and attract. Councilmember
Roush pointed out the Council couldn't approve the event until the charity participation
is formalized. Mayor Harycki questioned the benefit to downtown and suggested waiting
until the special events task force completes its work before approving new events. Mr.
Keneven spoke to the benefit of potentially having 3,000 people visit the community.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Cook to deny the request for this year.
Motion passed 4-0, with Councilmember Gag abstaining.
Request from Vern Stefan for a construction staoino area north of Mulberry. east of the Desch
Buildino parkino lot
Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request for a construction
staging area for Mainstream Development. He said two sites are under consideration.
Page 6 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
He stated that one possible site is an area north of Mulberry Street by the Desch
parking lot, which has the disadvantage of being a visible site but the advantage of
being somewhat isolated from the majority of the activities on the south part of town. He
also noted the site is gravel, which will mitigate restoration needs. Mr. Turnblad pointed
out that this site will require an access lane between the staging area and the River.
He stated that the second site under consideration is immediately adjacent to the
construction site which will not have the negative impact of views as the site to the north
and will eliminate the need for construction traffic crossing Mulberry Street. However, he
noted that Water Street will have to be closed in that area. Mr. Turnblad said staff and
the Parking Commission is recommending that the staging area not be blocked off until
after Lumberjack Days. He said staff believes the site immediately adjacent to the
construction area is a better site, but would recommend that the issue go back to the
Parking Commission to determine compensation for the loss pf eight parking spaces.
Mayor Harycki suggested working with neighboring businesses regarding
signage/parking/access issues.
Mayor Harycki asked if the U-Haul trucks could be removed and that parking area
opened up for public parking until construction begins. Vern Stefan, 717 Sixth Ave. S.,
and representatives of A&P, project contractor, were present to answer questions. Mr.
Stefan said he would be willing to move the trucks to the east side and make public
parking available in the area in question. It was agreed to add that to the conditions of
approval.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Gag to authorize the use of
the site adjacent to the construction site as conditioned.
Councilmember Gag suggested adding a condition that the matter be referred to the
Parking Commission for determination of a fee structure for the loss of the eight parking
spaces. Mr. Roush agreed to add that condition to the motion. Councilmember Cook
asked that the motion reflect that staff will be talking with the affected business owners;
Councilmember Roush agreed to include that in the motion.
There was discussion about having the construction site fence open to accommodate
the Lumberjack Days marathon; Mr. Stefan agreed to try to accommodate that request.
Councilmember Cook said she wanted to make sure that affected businesses have the
opportunity to weigh in on issues arising. Councilmember Gag suggested invited
businesses within a certain notification area to the Parking Commission meeting where
plans will be discussed and a fee determination made. After discussion about the
notification area, it was decided to state that neighboring business owners, to be
determined by staff, will be invited to the meeting. Councilmember Cook asked about
the length of the use of the staging area; it was estimated the area will be in use for
about six months from the start of construction. Mr. Turnblad clarified that it was staff's
recommendation that the staging area not be fenced at all until after Lumberjack Days;
the A&P representative stated if that is a condition of approval, that is what they will
have to live with. Mr. Stefan agreed that the area will not be fenced until after
Page 7 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
Lumberjack Days and asked that the reference to having the fence open be stricken
from the motion. That condition was changed to indicate the area will not be fenced until
after Lumberjack Days. Mayor Harycki suggested a condition. that the U-Hauls be
removed in 30 days; Mr. Stefan said he could not agree to that.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Gag to authorize the use of
the site adjacent to the construction site as conditioned along with being referred to the
Parking Commission for fees for the loss of the eight parking spaces and staff notifying
neighboring business owners for the next Downtown Parking Commission meeting where
plans will be reviewed and fees determination will be made.
The motion passed 4-1, with Mayor Harycki voting no.
Request to reconstruct oaraoe within the Hazel Street rioht-of-wav
Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request. He explained that the
existing garage encroaches on the City's right-of-way for Hazel Street East. The
Heritage Preservation Commission has approved a demolition permit for the garage,
and the applicant would like to construct a new garage which is pulled back somewhat
but still encroaches 2.5 feet onto the right-of-way. If the Council agrees staff is
recommending that City Attorney Magnuson prepare a license which formalizes that
encroachment. Councilmember Gag questioned whether this requires a public hearing.
Mr. Turnblad noted this is a grandfathered location and the request is not worsening the
encroachment, thus a variance is not required.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Cook to approve the request and
directed City Attorney Magnuson to prepare a municipal license for the encroachment. All in
favor.
Possible approval to advertise for annual seal coatino proiect
Public Works Director reviewed the project area, noting that $123,000 has been
budgeted this year for seal coating. Mayor Harycki suggested that Willow, between
Hazel and Poplar, be added to the project list; Mr. Sanders said staff would look at that.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Cook to adopt Resolution
2009-76, authorize advertisement for bids for 2009 seal coat improvement project (Project
2009-06)
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Gag, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
Possible acceptino bids and awardino contract for 2009 Street Improvement Proiect
Public Works Director Sanders stated three bids were received for the 2009 street
improvement project, with the low bid submitted by Tower Asphalt in the amount of
Page 8 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
$1,002,978. The engineering estimate was $1.3 million. He stated a bid alternate for
new water main will have to be approved by the Water Board before it is included.
Councilmember Gag asked if the assessment rate might be decreased due to the lower
than anticipated bid. Mr. Sanders responded that in the past, the assessment rate has
not been adjusted regardless of the bid amount. It was consensus to look at lowering
the assessment rate. Councilmember Gag suggested the possibility of doing additional
streets due to the low bid; Mr. Sanders said a small mill and overlay project could be
done for about $200,000, with a good candidate being the area of Shelton Drive,
Tuenge Drive, West and East Ridge. Mr. Sanders noted a mill and overlay project would
not affect the street assessment rate; the Council could still look at the assessment rate
for the street project. Mayor Harycki asked if Second Street North from Wilkins to
Riverside was a candidate for mill and overlay; Mr. Sanders responded in the
affirmative.
Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, moved to authorize a
feasibility study for a mill and overlay project, looking at both the Shelton Drive
neighborhood and Second Street North. Motion for the feasibility study was retracted.
Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2009-77, accepting bid and awarding contract for 2009 Street Improvement Project (Project
2009-02).
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Gag, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki

Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2009-78, authorizing feasibility report for mill and overlay project.

Possible appointment to Downtown Parkino Commission
City Clerk Ward stated an application had been received from Jeffrey Johnson, Ward 4,
for appointment to the Downtown Parking Commission. She stated Councilmember Gag
did not feel an interview was necessary. She stated that If the appointment is made the
Parking Commission would have a full complement of members for the first time in eight
years.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Resolution
2009-79, approving appointment to Downtown Parking Commission.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Gag, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki

Follow-up on request for downtown screenino
Community Development Director Turnblad said subsequent to the discussion of this
issue at the previous Council meeting, staff, as directed, prepared a report and
recommendation. The first recommendation is that if a trash receptacle is located on
City property, it ought to be moved; second, if the receptacle is on private property, it
ought to be screened in some way. Mr. Turnblad reviewed the specific items of concern
identified in the staff's report. The list identified:
1. Boats and three receptacles owned by the Stillwater Marina and located on City
property. He stated a representative of the Marina has submitted a letter requesting
that the items be allowed to remain in the current location; staff would suggest that
the boats ought to be removed from City property and sto'red on Marina property and
that the receptacles ought to be removed or in the interim screened with some type
of wooden structure. It was consensus to require that the items be removed. City
Attorney Magnuson noted the area in question is definitely City property but was at
one time leased by Muller Boat. Mayor Harycki moved to require that the items be
removed and give one week to do so. Councilmember Gag suggested that perhaps
some type of lease agreement can be reached until the City has a use for the
property. It was agreed to have Mr. Turnblad determine whether the Marina is
interested in a lease agreement. If interested, staff will work with City Attorney
Magnuson in drawing up a lease agreement, one that would be renewed season-to-
season, and if not interested in a lease agreement, notify the Marina to vacate the
property. Mayor Harycki suggested obligating any lease revenue to downtown
cleanup efforts. It was also agreed that if a lease agreement is reached, the
receptacles could remain in the current location until the City has need for the
property but screened ASAP and at the Marina's expense. Mayor Harycki moved to
direct staff to prepare a lease, with funds dedicated to some of the future
screening/cleanup work on City property. Councilmember Roush seconded the
motion; motion passed unanimously.
2. A cluster of three bins used by PD Pappy's. Bins are located on City property, and
staff has been working with the business to find an alternate location. Until the levee
project is completed, when the bins would have to be removed, Mr. Turnblad
suggested a license/lease agreement, with the receptacles to be screened. It was
agreed that to be consistent, this should be a lease agreement as with the Marina.
Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Cook, moved to have staff pursue a
lease agreement, with funds dedicated to future cleanup work. Motion passed
unanimously. City Attorney Magnuson pointed out the City Charter may require eight
weeks of public notification for these lease agreements.
3. A trash enclosure for the Desch building meets the requirements of the special use
permit but is open on one side. It was noted there is limited visibility of the opening.
It was agreed to talk with the building owner to see if he would be willing to rectify
the situation.
Page 10 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
4. The area behind Northern Vineyards and the Co-op. Mr. Turnblad stated the owners
of Northern Vineyard are committed to getting trash behind that building removed by
May 11. He said staff is working with Mead Stone regarding trash enclosures behind
the Co-op; this is on private property, staff is working to get the dumpsters
consolidated in one area and then on some screening proposal.
5. Water Street Inn. Mr. Turnblad said the owner has agreed to repair the trash
enclosures and install a wooden fence by the end of May.
6. He stated that there are three portable toilets located on City property north of the
gas station. Staff is suggesting the toilets be screened as they are in some of the
parks; cost is about $3,500. It was agreed to have staff come back with a
recommendation regarding the screening.
7. Dumpsters on Water Street south of Chestnut. Mr. Turnblad said two dumpsters
behind Summit Board are located on City property and will have to be moved; at the
Freight House, staff has worked with the manager to have the smaller dumpsters
moved inside the masonry storage structure as a temporary solution. He pointed out
several dumpsters behind Marx are located in the handicapped-accessible parking
spot and will have to be removed. A solution for the rest of the clutter in that area is
to cluster the dumpsters and construct an enclosure, similar to what was done
behind Brine's; Mr. Turnblad suggested having staff put together a proposal and
come back with an estimate. He stated that the Dock Cafe also has a three-sided
trash enclosure, and staff will ask that gates be installed.
It was noted that staffs review of the properties stopped at Nelson Street.
Councilmember Cook thanked Mr. Turnblad and Mr. Pogge, who did the inventory, for
their efforts.
Regarding the transformers, Mr. Turnblad stated that as part of the downtown
improvement project, it was decided that all of the overhead lines be buried, resulting in
the utility pedestals that are located throughout town. He stated these cannot be
screened as Excel and others require a three-foot clearance from their utility to the edge
of the screening. Mr. Polehna suggested the possibility of painting the pedestals.
COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS
Councilmember Polehna told the Council and audience that a Beyond the Yellow
Ribbon committee meeting was scheduled for 6 p.m. May 18 in City Council chambers.
He invited anyone interested in working on the committee to attend the meeting.
Councilmember Cook thanked the Council for delaying implementing the pay parking
program opening for the May Day event, an event which was a big success.
Councilmember Roush said a meeting for Ward 3 residents was scheduled for 7 p.m.
Tuesday, May 26, in Council chambers at City Hall. He reviewed topics for possible
Page 11 of 12
City Council Meeting
May 5, 2009
discussion such as were future street projects, trail and sidewalk projects, proposed cell
tower locations, speed and crosswalks, possible location for a dog park, and other items
of interest.
Mayor Harycki asked about the status of applications for the traffic committee. City
Clerk Ward said applications had been received from residents of Ward 1, Ward 2, and
Ward 3, none from Ward 4. She said Councilmembers Polehna and Cook would be
scheduling interviews soon.
