MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: City Coordinator DA: November 9, 1993 .f1...e.-'-~Jfrr/V\~f RE: EFFICIENCY STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN /) (~3o!q"3 Accompanying this memo are the following items: Phase I - Administration Efficiency Study Phase II - Public Works Efficiency Study Proposed Phase I and II implementation Plan Proposed Building Modification Plans Although the written part of the study has been completed, the report also includes a somewhat detailed layout (drawing) of proposed changes to the municipal building which took several meetings to complete. The proposed changes were made under the assumption that the present building would be modified to accommodate present city departments/staff. The modifications involve all levels/offices of city hall (except the fire department) and includes the conversion of the lower level (basement) to office space for the police department. I believe there is a consensus among staff that the modifications could be a workable solution to the over crowdedness and inadequate organization of the present office space. However, it will be necessary to present the proposed layout to a professional architectural firm to develop final plans for the modification. At this time, questions remain unanswered regarding the use of the lower level and what must be done to comply with state laws, specifically ADA requirements (elevator or ramps to accommodate handicap access) and building codes (sprinklers, exiting, lighting, etc) . Obviously, the building could be modified to comply with any or all laws. It is just a questions of whether or not the cost of doing so is economically feasible and whether there are less costly alternatives - such as building "up" rather than building "down" or building a new building to separately house some of the departments (Le., a new public safety building for police and fire and/or expanding the city garage). Further, many of the recommendations made by Mr. Tennessen assume that the building must be modified before it is practical to implement the recommendations. For example, one recommendation is to create a receptionist station in the main (admin) office area. Staff agrees with this recommendation and propose that Sue Stickan, Junior Account Clerk, be assigned this duty while also retaining most of her present duties, which includes being the main telephone operator for City Hall and doing the utility billings. In order to allow Sue to perform the activities pertaining to the utility billing function and to handle "over the counter" business, it is suggested that an automated telephone service be purchased. An automated telephone service would basically instruct a caller on how to , contact the individual I 01' department Q-::ing ea1led without having the receptionist actually ansfier the phone. However, the actual phone system will depend to some ext~nt on how t..'1e building is actually laid out. In any event, it would appear I to be prudent to determine the overall telephone needs of the offices hous d at City Hall before a new system is purchased and it will be necessary to establish how the building is organized before any final decisions can be ade on implementing many of the recommendations. This will be noted everal times!!! ) on the Proposed Implementation Schedule. I don't know how Council discussion will be necessary on the recommendation related to the various processes. Many of the recommendations can be implemented without need for further discussion or direction from the Coun' and I did not think it necessary to present the Council with a detailed nalysis of what needs to be done to implement the recommendations. Howe er, Council will obviously need to review and discuss the recommendation that involves purchase of new equipment and certainly those pertaining to the building modifications. In that regard, I would give you one more reco endation and that is to conduct a workshop with City staff (and possibly th consultant) to go over the proposed building modification plans to re ch a final tlteam" consensus. Once the consensus is reached, the Council could then consider hiring an architect to provide the City with a cost es' te to modify to develop final plans and specs for the building modifications. ~!;l( .- . e e e PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE .HASE I STUDY Archive and Department Files: Recommendation Implementation Plan Time Table Cost No. 1-7 A.

Transportation Engineer Edward Kapler, Facilities Operations Manager Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Stillwater 21 6 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: McKusick Lake Road Dear Mayor and Council: I received a letter from your City Engineer expressing your concerns about the timing of the paving of McKusick Lake Road. I am sure by now many of you have seen or heard that the road has been paved. This work was done on Veteran's Day, November 11, including patching of the road. e We did originally plan on having the paving done by November 1 st. We agreed to let the contractor work further along McKusick and pave on this later date for two reasons. The first was where we stopped will be easier to start again in 1994 than at Maple Street, and the second reason was we wanted to get as much done as we could this year. This will allow us to get past the golf course entrance next year as soon as possible. The contractor will now be shut down until next spring. We will notify you of the proposed schedule when we start up again. Overall the project has gone very well, including the Neal Avenue portion, and we are sure its completion next year will be a great benefit to area residents and road users. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other concerns.

Technical and Administrative Services DATE: November 19, 1993 SUBJECT: OPEN HOUSE FOR COUNTY ROAD 5 PROJECT County Road 5, also known as Stillwater Boulevard, runs from Trunk Highway 36 through Stillwater to Trunk Highway 96. I am sure as a resident of this road you have seen a tremendous increas'e in traffic in recent years. We have also had the new Stillwater Area High School open up south of Trunk Highway 36, and next year a new Target/Cub Foods development will open east of County Road 5 and north of Trunk Highway 36. You can see this site being graded right now. e The growth in traffic on this road is creating problems. I am sure many of you have almost been in an accident, seen an accident, or unfortunately actually been involved in an accident. There is also no place for pedestrians to walk safely, including school children.u - " Our department is responsible for the County'Road system~:-anctwe are planning to ,~,:'"" -':. , improve County Road 5 to address these traffic and pedestrian problems. Not to do so, would be irresponsible of us. Our project limits run from Trunk Highway 36 to Croixwood Boulevard. We are proposing to improve County Road 5 to a 4-lane divided roadway with traffic signals at Orleans Street and an extension of Curve Crest Boulevard. We are also wiring for a future signal at Croixwood Boulevard. We need your helo in this effort. It is very important that we hear the concerns, ideas, issues, etc., that you have about this project. We are just entering the design phase of this project and need your input now. There is no project of this size that does not have some impacts to adjoining properties. We also want to discuss these with you. An Open House is scheduled for Thursday, December 2, 1993, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lily lake Elementary School Library. The school is located at 2003 W. Willard Street. We will have our project design team at the Open House along with our preliminary layout. Feel free to stop by anytime during the Open House hours.

We are suggesting that we have a formal negotiating session at your earliest possible convenience. I wish to point out that the Union is not interested in a two-year agreement based upon the percentage increases you are offering in either of the calendar years. Also, you have made no provision for an insurance increase in the second year. The other items requested by the Union have received no attention from you to this point. If the City is really interested in a multiple year agreement they will have to do much better then the current offer. As indicated by the October 25, 1993 memo from Chief Beberg, the Union is not in agreement with the change in the method of payment being proposed. This is a negotiable item and we therefore are placing it on the table for negotiations at this time. Please contact me with dates that you will be available as soon as possible.

Senior Accounting Clerk . Payroll Clerk . City Clerk I enjoyed the opportunity to speak with you last week. As requested, I am writing to document the scope and estimated costs ofPDI's services. PDI is prepared to design and implement a process to select the most qualified individuals as finalists for these positions. To accomplish this, we propose a four-part process: . Discussions (either via telephone or in person) with designated individuals to detennine the most important criteria for screening . Resume review to reduce the pool to a more manageable number . Design of infonnation-gathering tools . Evaluation of candidate responses to designate fmalists The process described above will meet all state and federal requirements regarding legality of selection procedures. I anticipate that the processes described. above could be completed within thirty days from the close of applications. At this point, you could interview finalist c.uldidates. It may be helpful to designate interview iimes now; we could notify candidates in our correspondence to hold that time, should they become finalists. Labor costs for the procedures described above would not exceed $3,750. Postage costs would add no more than $125. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and the City of Stillwater.

I carried legislation last year in the Senate asking the Coast Guard to reevaluate the schedule based on serious traffic congestion problems in Stillwater. The legislation passed the Senate Committee but died in the House, not on its merits, but due to unrelated political considerations. Although I live in the country north of Stillwater, I shop, bank, attend church, go to the doctor, dentist, etc. in Stillwater. I am keenly aware of the huge traffic tie-up caused by the frequent lifting of the bridge. I am sure you have received detailed information as to the negative environmental impact of this traffic congestion. The wait to cross the bridge and related traffic delays have also negatively impacted the business community. I would adamantly support a more restrictive schedule. In fact, I would propose to eliminate the elevation of the bridge when" traffic is heaviest. Thank you for your support and input. I hope you give serious consideration to this request.

The primary purpose of requiring a business license is to ensure that the business complies with building codes and fire codes. Without some form of review (such as would be available if licensing would be required) there is a strong possibility that the Building and Fire department may not be aware of building conversion/remodeling. I think Allen Zepper's previous memo to Council dated December 19, 1989 does a good job of pointing out the problems that could occur. A minimal fee of $25 - $30 is recommended. The registration form could also be used to gather information such as type of business, ownership of the building and the business if different (Le., names, addresses, telephone numbers of residence or corporate office), etc. that could be useful data for other uses. Further, in order to obtain a Class III ISO insurance rating the City will have to develop information pertaining to the layout and contents of the buildings. I think we could get the process going by hiring someone (possibly an intern) to do a property record search plus a survey to identify all businesses within the City (this would be useful information even if the Council decided not to license businesses). I would estimate that this preliminary work would take about two - three weeks at a cost of $400 - $600.

WIMN is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to operate under strict guidelines of frequency and power, Because of your comments regarding unwanted interference over the last few weeks, I directed W!MN's Chief Engineer and the manufacturer of our transmitter to again verify that we have done everything possible to make sure that our operation complies with the terms of our license. All reports show that everything technically possible has been done on our end, e Electrical phenomena are not always easy to trace, Many factors, often beyond our control, may contribute to unwanted radio reception, Weare enclosing a copy of material prepared by the government on this subject. We trust that you will find it helpful. Some of you have found remedies to the problem on your own. I appreciate you sharing anything that could be helpful so that I may pass it on to others. One listener picked up an AT&T (model number Z 1 OOB 1 for the telephone) Radio Interference Filter for approximately $15.00 at thelocal Wal-Mart, It was easily installed and it cut out all interference! You may want to try this method. We also have information regarding other types of interference we can pass along to you if the enclosed book does not cover your problem, Should we learn of any more possible remedies applicable to your situation, we will, of course, pass them on immediately, Thanks again for your support and patience. e 7~t \ P .dl[iP I ~iW{ ZHfJ)J.

Over the past several years, some innovative, creative programs have been developed through partnerships and cooperative efforts between the private and public sector to deliver services. As a result, we have been able to obtain results not possible by either the public or private sector. e In our system of government, the judicial branch of government is designated as the vehicle to resolve'disputes and conflicts between citizens (individuals, business, government). The obvious question is "can similar partnerships be created in the judicial branch?" The answer is, yes, we can. As you review your 1994 budget and particularly your budget for legal costs, I hope you will consider seriously looking at dramatic ways to change the way in which we handle conflicts. I refer to conflicts with contractors, constituents, among staff/council, etc. We can't make any dramatic changes in legal costs by merely shop- ping around for more of the same. I'm suggesting that you adopt a policy requlrlng that all civil conflicts be handled through the mediation/arbitration process (there are now proposed rules which would require all disputes to be submitted to Alternative Dispute Resolution before submitting to litigation). We would be happy to make a presentation to your councilor to be available to answer questions about the process. As a former State Senator and former Mayor of Brooklyn Center, a practicing attorney for 20 years, and now a full-time professional mediator, I think I can effectively serve you in mediating and/or arbitrating disputes. sincerely, tt Dean A.

Dated: Oerk: Deputy: Marie Sllnlit:iR .. e e - "' CONCILIATION COURT APPEALS TO DISTRICT COURT According to statute, ft party has a right to appeal the decision of the Conciliation Court to District Court. Before you do this, however, you should be aware of the following. 1. You may be required to pay an extra $250.00 if you lose. Minnesota Statute 487.30, s~bdivision 8, provides that the appealing party shall be ordered to pay to the opposing party $250.00 as costs, if he or she does not prevail in District Court. You should read the statute carefully before you decide to appeal. 2. District Court is different from Conciliation Court. Conciliation Court gives each party a chance to state his or her case without the constraints of rigid procedural and evidentiary rules. The purpose of Conciliation Court is to en- able parties to litigate small claims without the expense of attorneys and large court costs, and without complicated procedural re- quirements. This is not true of District Court. When a Conciliation Court case is appealed to District Court, the parties will be expected to adhere to the Rules of Evidence and Civil Procedure. For this reason, the parties should obtain an attorney. The judges recognize that, in some cases, the amount of money in dispute is so low that hiring an attorney would not be' practical. In such cases, the judge may offer minimal assistance to the unrepresented party, such as telling him or her where to sit or when to speak. Additionally, the judge may answer the litigant's procedural questions during trial. However, no one should make the mistake of assuming that District Court will be as easy and informal as Conciliation Court. No special consideration will be given to a party merely because he or she does not have an attorney. If you de~ide to come to District Court without an attorney, you will be expected to conduct yourself just as lawyers do during a trial. Everything that is said at a District Court trial is recorded by an official court reporter. Therefore, it is very important that persons speak one at a time and not interrupt each other. You will be able to state your case at a certain point in the trial, and you will be able to cross-examine the opposing party. After the opposing party has spoken, you will always be given an opportunity to respond. At the end of the trial, you will be allowed to summarize your case, if you desire. Therefore, it is alw9_~r<; improper to argue back and forth during a District Court tri"~. fou should wait your turn and, eventually, you will be allowed to speak uninterrupted. e e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council ~~ FR: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DA: November 24, 1993 RE: TRUTH IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING The State of Minnesota has changed the requirements to include additional information that must be presented and' discussed at the Truth in Taxation public hearing. Specific information for the previous year (1992), current year (1993) and proposed budget year (1994) must be presented on: a. percent of total proposed budget representing total compensation costs for employees (wages, salaries, benefits, etc.); b. number of employees by general classification and whether they are full-time or part-time; c. budgeted expenditures for and numbers of consultants and other independent contractors (including maintenance agreements); and d. the effect of budget increases or decreases on the proposed property tax levy including the change in procedure for HACA deduction. Another change made by the state requires the City to adopt the final tax levy and final budget at a meeting held after the Truth in Taxation public hearing. The City has set the date of December 7, 1993, at 7 p. m. for this. (Prior to the close of the Truth in Taxation public hearing, the date, time and location of the subsequent hearing should be announced to the public.)

Study's results let you see how cities' spending stacks up e e If you live in Fal- con Heights, Lake Elmo or Vad- nais Heights, you owe your local elected officials a vote of thanks. They appear to be demonstrating effi- ciency and re- straint in providing basic services. But if you live in South St. Paul, Apple Valley or Rose- mount, you may have cause for concern. In those communities, local officials are spending substantially more than what may be necessary to meet basic needs. These conclusions are drawn from a new study by the governor's Commission on Reform and Efficiency (CORE), which spent nearly two years analyzing local spending and service needs. The study is ex- pected to be published later this month. The ultimate product of the commission's ef- forts will be a proposal for anew, needs-based formula for distributing state aid to cities. In the past, aid has been handed out largely on the basis of past spending, encouraging even greater spending rather than holding down local property taxes. More immediately, however, the com- mission's study will provide Minnesota taxpayers with a new valuable tool for judging whether their elected officials are being prudent with their use of prop- erty tax revenues and other resources. As a draft of the CORE study puts it, "Minnesota taxpayers are demanding more accountability from .local officials for how tax dollars are spent. Account- ability, however, requires that citizens be able to ask questions about and evaluate city spending practices. To evaluate their city, Minnesota taxpayers need accurate and understandable information about how their city's spending compares to that of other cities." The CORE study is an effort to fill this void, and the timing couldn't be better. Within the next two weeks, Minnesota homeowners will be receiving their annu- al "Truth in Taxation" notices, providing ASSOCIATE EDITORIAL PAGE EDITOR them with a preview of what their 1994 property taxes could be. By the end of December, all local governments must conduct public hearings on their proposed budgets and approve their property tax levies for next year. In its study, CORE analyzed the spend- ing of 181 Minnesota cities with popula- tions of 2,500 or more during the year 1990, the most recent for which complete data was available, Using a combination of factors that affect the cost and demand for services, the study determined every community's basic spending needs for each of five essential services: streets, police, fire, parks and recreation, and general admin- istration. A basic spending level also was determined for "other" expenditures that did not fall into these five categories. However, the study excluded certain services that are not offered by all cities, or services provided primarily on a self- supporting basis. These include ambu- lance service, economic development, and housing and redevelopment. CORE then examined each communi- ty's actual 1990 spending, and compared it with their basic service needs. The results indicate that 8t. Paul city government may be less wasteful than some taxpayers have suspected, 8t. Paul's total spending exceeded its basic needs by 23 percent. This compares with 39 percent for Minneapolis, 50 percent for Eveleth, 53 percent for Red Wing, 75 To learn more . The CORE report on local !;pending is expected to be i!;sued by the end of November.

Needless to say, this new statistical yardstick is likely to be about as wel- come among local officials as Ross Perot at a White House dinner. Roger Peterson, director of legislative affairs for the Association of Metropoli- tan Municipalities, complains that mem- bers of CORE set out "to find a way to cut state aid to cities as much as they could" and then devised a system to achieve that goal. But John Brandl, a University of Min- nesota public affairs professor and a for- mer DFL state senator who served on the commission, believes it is "as good a job as has ever been done" to measure local service needs. In the past, comparisons of local spending typically have been done on a per-capita basis, with no attention to oth- er factors that affect the cost of police and fire protection, street maintenance and other services. The CORE spending comparisons will require further analysis to determine what the percentages mean. For exam. pie, is Community X wasting money by exceeding its basic spending need on street maintenance? Or is it simply re- sponding to local demands for services? One obvious conclusion, however, is that the 35 Minnesota cities with full- time fire departments are paying the price. For example, South St. Paul - with 16 full-time firefighters to serve a suburban community of 20,000 - is spending 480 percent more for fire protection than what CORE judges to be its basic need. West St. Paul and Burnville, two Dakota County neighbors, also have full-time fire departments - and they also shoot off CORE's spending charts. In contrast, Bloomington ~ Minneso- ta's third largest city with a population of 86,000 - manages to provide fire protection with an all-volunteer depart- ment. And its spending is within 5 per- cent of what CORE judges to be the community's basic need. The CORE study also suggests that Ramsey County suburbs that contract with the county sheriff's department for police protection appear to be getting a good deal. Arden Hills, Little Canada, Nortb Oaks, 8horeview and Vadnais Heights all are spending far less that what CORE defines as their basic need for police services. Indeed, communities that look for ways to contract for or share services with other governmental units appear to be reaping the rewards. For example, the Ramsey County sub- urb of Falcon Heights purchases police protection from Roseville, buys snow re- moval service from Ramsey County, and sells fire and rescue service to Lauder- Comparison of local spending vs. needs The Go Commission on Reform and Efficiency determined how much eac nity should be spending for basic services, and compared that each community actually is spending. This chart lists the percentage of spending that is above or below each community's basic needs as determined by CORE.

All told, Falcon Heights is spending 39 percent less than what CORE defines as its basic need for city services. Jane belage, a state Department of Administration analyst who worked on the study, acknowledges that there may be very logical explanations for why some communities are spending more than what CORE has defined as its basic needs. PIONEER PRESS GRAPHIC But she says the CORE comparisons allow taxpayers to ask, "Are we, or are we not, getting more for what we are spending? And is the 'more' worth it?"

The information presented in this report involved the following procedures: 1, Examination of documents including: * "Report on Utilities and Street Improvements: The City of Stillwater, MN, SEH Engineering, February 23, 1970; * "Needs Assessment for Community Development," SEH Engineering, Jan, 10, 1989; * "Feasibility Study: Southeast Area Sanitary Sewer, Water main, Drainage, and Streets," SEH Engineering, May 18, 1993, * "The Community Development Applications Manual," State of Minnesota, "Small Cities Development Program," and the "Public Facilities Authority," and other Federal and State publications; * Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429, pages 579-642, as amended, 2, Meetings and discussions with the Governor's Office, key Legislators, State and Federal officials, City Engineer Dick Moore, and others, 3. Meetings and discussions with home owners from the Southeast Area, Based on information received from these sources, the following findings and recommendations are submitted to the Council for your consideration, Page 2 - LAI Report; SE Sewer Project. e The Problem: The Mayor and City Council is very much aware of the problems facing the City and the residents, The sewer projects for both the North and South Hill areas have been delayed for years because of the costs involved in extending the sewer system, as a result of the topography of the area, The problem is exacerbated further by the diversity of home values served with the sewer system expansion, and the socioeconomic differences within the area, Hook-up costs, and assessments will be constant irrespective of the value of the homes served by the system, The removal of septic systems atter construction and hook-up will be another significant cost to the residents, Secondly, the growth of the City has created additional demands on the storm sewer system, Blacktopping of areas, new home construction, and commercial growth has caused excessive run-off through the natural ravines and gullies, resulting in serious erosion in certain areas of the City, This condition has demanded immediate action, e Thirdly, the Mayor and Council should be commended for moving aggressively on the repair and improvement of the City's infrastructure, and the constryction of the levee wall system, both of which had reached the critical stage, The Council had little choice but to move forward on the reconstruction of the infrastructure of downtown Stillwater, and even less of choice in responding to the deterioration of the levee wall system, Even with $2,6 million in Federal and State assistance on the levee, and tax increment financing of the downtown repairs, there will still be some costs to the citizens, The North and South Hill sewer projects, the Myrtle Street storm sewer construction, and new road construction all require bonding and assessments that will increase the pressures on the City budget and the taxpayers, It is vital that the Council structure these projects in such a way to maximize the opportunity for receiving Federal and State assistance for the City and the citizens wherever and whenever possible, Funding Availability: There are funding programs which can assist both the City, and the area residents, by reducing the costs of this project. While some sources are competitive grants, others are available by structuring the proposals in such a way that they meet the criteria established in the rules and regulations for the programs, The success in acquiring funds will depend on: 1. How the projects are structured; e Page 3 - LAI Report: SE Sewer Project e 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, How the projects are presented to the funding agencies; The demonstrated financial needs of the City and the citizens; The health, safety, and environmental concerns of the project; The relationships established with the decision-makers in the agencies; The timing of the applications in accordance with the availability of funds; The sequence of actions by the City in moving the project forward; 8, The commitment of the City to the acquisition of funds; Recommendations: Currently, three necessary projects are on the drawing boards for the City, The sanitary sewer projects on the North and South Hills, and the storm sewer project required to abate the erosion in the Myrtle Street area, Funding for all of these projects should be approached simultaneously, They support each other, e 1, No action should be taken by the Council regarding the awarding of bids until all funding options have been fully examined. 2, No action should be taken by the Council regarding the financing of these projects until all funding options have been futly examined, 3, The Southeast and North Hill sewer projects should be divided into phases for bidding purposes to provide the best possible ratio of low and moderate income families, (This will require some engineering work to assure that the project division makes sense from the technical standpoint.) 4, A house-to-house survey is needed to assure that aU LMI households are included, 3, Funding for the sewer projects, and any other projects planned, should be incorporated into a single application at the outset. This will provide more funding options for the City, strengthen the need factor, and increase the opportunities for receiving assistance, 4, A basic proposal document must be prepared, 5, Follow up of the meetings with the State and Federal officials contacted in this feasibility report, e e Page 4 - LAI Report; SE Sewer Project. 6, Frequent reporting to the Council to allow the projects to move forward as quickly as possible, and providing the Council with information to enable them to make sound decisions, 7, Legislative action is another option available in the 1994 session, however, it is imperative that all program sources be exhausted before a legislative effort is undertaken, To bring a good case before the State Legislature, it has to be "case of last resort," Summary: If directed by the Council, I will approach the project from a multiple grant funding process, That is, I will be working for funds that will lower the tax assessment, and possible assist in hook-up costs for the residents, and funds that reduce the City's share of the project costs, Since the City's cost in the project is shared by all taxpayers, many households will benefit. Different funding sources, have different time frames, and procedures for application, Consequently, this will permit the Council to make future decisions based on the results of the efforts, e Time is extremely important. If the decision is delayed to seek funds, certain funding options will not be available, I will be available to respond to any questions you may have, e ",. e ..e ;'..',. ". e J ?(y November 28, 1993 Mr. Charles Hooley, Mayor stillwater city Hall 210 North 4th street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mayor Hooley, The Palmers believe it is time to prepare stillwater's Lowell Inn for the next millenium. The first step is to complete two key projects. First, is the repair and renovation of the building parallel with a major equipment replacement/updating program. Second,is a city-backed, refinancing plan including the sale-leaseback of the Lowell Inn parking lot. The objective of refinancing. is to lower both the capital costs and. operational .costs of the core business mix...at the present level of consolidated revenues. -, '.~, - . .

There are key reasons.why financial backing for the Lowell Inn by the City of stillwater is essential to this first step. These reasons can be considered in the pUblic interest and, consequently, should be supportive of the common good of the stillwater community as a whole. First and foremost is the intrinsic value of this historic property to the city. Second, the public value of the consistent, traditional style of Lowell Inn hospitality operations. Third, the city's future role in serving the "speci:'.l occasion" market subsegment within and for the seven-county metropolitan' area. 102 North Second Street .

South Hill Sewer Project: The South Hill Sewer Project is expected to cost '.~ about $1.4 million. The citizens in the project area will be responsible for both the assessments and hook-up costs. Even though the City is spreading half the cost among all the taxpayers, there will be some of the area residents who will be placed in a very serious financial situation as the result of this double hit. Funds are available to help defray these costs for the citizens if a proper foundation is laid, if the project is correctly approached and presented, and if continuous follow-up is maintained. 3. North Hill Sewer Project: An earlier start on this project will open the doors for additional funding that has the potential of decreasing the cost to the City as well as to the citizens in the project area. It is estimated that the cost of the North Hill Project will be similar to the South Hill Project, or about $1.5 million. A slightly different socioeconomic structure for the South Hill area may help the process. It is likely that I will combine these two projects in some funding approaches. _ i e "I. . .' -~~ .,.,.~ ',':-: ':'''-;-''.~ I ' ._._"" .~~..~~t~' :;:. :::~~~f*~ .

Market value is defined as the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed or well advised; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; and acting in what they consider their best interest; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.

Croix County in Wisconsin) constitutes the region influencing the subject property. located generally at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, in Southeast Minnesota, it is the major metropolitan focal point of the Upper Midwest. While the cities of Minneapolis (population 358,166) and st. Paul (population 267,968) are the dominant political subdivisions, the area is also partially governed by the Metropolitan Council, a form of regional government with responsibility for common area problems such s public transit, utilities, distribution, etc. e The Twin Cities is growing faster than any other northern metropolitan area east of the Rocky Mountains. It ranks sixteenth in size of the nation's twenty-five largest metropolitan areas. The population of the metropolitan area was estimated at 2,464,124 persons on April 1, 1990. Growth has been characterized by consistency rather than rapidity. According to the Metropolitan Council Data Center, the'1990 estimated population is 2,464,124 and increase of 15.3% since 1980. The Twin Cities has many more large headquarters companies than metropolitan areas of comparable size. The area ranks seventh nationally compared with other metropolitan areas. There are some 2,500 manufacturers based in the area including Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, General Mills, Pillsbury, Cargill, Control Data Corporation, Northwest Airlines, Land O'Lakes, Brown & Bigelow, West Publishing, Munsingwear, Clay Research, and st. Judes. Other manufacturers include International Harvester, Ford Motors Parts Division, General Electric, DuPont, John Deere, and a cross section of many other national firms. e The Twin Cities are, in addition, the financial center of the Upper Midwest. The largest commercial banks are the First Bank System, and the Norwest Banks. Minneapolis is the headquarters of several billion-dollar savings and loan associations including Twin City Federal & Midwest Federal; five large insurance companies including Northwestern National Life, Lutheran Brotherhood, Western Life, st. Paul Insurance Companies, and Minnesota Mutual Life together with smaller companies have their home offices in the Twin Cities. In addition, the Twin Cities ~nclude Prudential Insurance Company's Regional Office and numerous branch offices of other insurance companies. Investors Diversified Services (I.D.S.) anchors downtown Minneapolis in the I.D.S. Tower. 5 ~ R. W Kirchner & ~ssociates The Twin Cities Metro olitan Area has traditionally enjoyed a low unemployment r~te. The unemployment rate as of June 1993 is 4.9%. The Twin Cities have by the University of in the United state students on its four attention through it relationship with the an excellent educational system highlighted Minnesota, now the third largest university , with an enrollment of 50,000 full-time campuses. The Medical College has gained Medical Center, Heart Hospital, and close Mayo Clinic. Ranking in quality, although not in size with University, are Macalester College, Augsburg College, College of st. Thomas, Hamline College, and t. Catherine College. The diversificatio of the Twin Cities' economy is greatly enhanced by its bein surrounded by an in a primary position to serve a vast and rich agricultural region of the United states. Culturally, the Twin Cities supports two area museums, a science museum, two zoos, the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra, several civic theaters, a host of libraries, and Tyrone Guthrie Repertory Theater. , The Twin Cities hav~ become the sport sports capitol of the Midwest with the Mirnesota Vikings of the National Football League, the Minnesot Twins of the American Baseball League, the Minnesota North Sta s of the National Hockey League, and the Timber Wolves of the National Basketball Association. Additionally, year.r und participant sports are easily available to all residents wi hin the Metropolitan Area because of many lakes, ski resorts, .hunting and fishing areas wi thin close proximity, and extens,'ve public park systems. i In conclusion, the eqonomic climate in the Twin Cities is excel- lent. The area con~inues to experience a broad and healthy growth based upon a well-diversified economy, coupled with an enlightened public an governmental climate. 6 e e Upper e ~ R.

Croix River, a nationally nown scenic and recreational area. The st. Croix River forms the eastern city limits and also the borderline for the neighboring state of Wisconsin. The city lies just east of the Twin Cities A ea and is approximately twenty miles from downtown st. Paul. Although Stillwater is fast becoming an integral part of the win Cities suburban area, it has a distinct identity of its own. e Stillwater is one of the oldest cities in the Northwest. It is steeped in the histo ical tradition of an early river town. It was the first town si e of Minnesota and was settled in 1843 when a group of young busi essmen established the first sawmill. From that time, Stillwat r grew rapidly owing its existence to the lumber business. In 1848, delegates assembled in Stillwater to hold the first Min esota Territorial Convention. At this convention, the name of Minnesota was decided on and a petition was drawn up memori lizing Congress to set up a Territorial Government. Stillw ter became recognized as the spot where .. Minnesota was born. ~ The town was incorp rated in 1854 and grew in size to 12,318 people in 1900. town's primary existence was lumbering, but it was also import an as a port city in the steamboat days. As the lumbering indus ry declined, so did the town. In 1940, Stillwater had a pop lation of 7,013. Since then, the city grew from 8,310 in 1960 0 12,290 in 1980. During the 1980's, the city grew roughly 13% to an estimated 1990 population of 13,882. Adjusting for infla ion, i.e., income stated in terms of 1989 Dollars, Stillwate had a 1989 median household income of $42,244, an increas of 3.1% over the past 10 years, giving Stillwater a rankin of 111 out of 192 communities in the 7 county metropolitan area. Source: U.S. Census. However, the surrounding township in Washington County and western Wisconsin ~ave seen a more dra~atic increase in both population and medium ~ncome . I Stillwater was al lays closely linked with st. Paul and Minneapolis by trans ortation. During the early history, rail and steamers were th main elements of transportation. During the first half of th Twentieth Century, trolley cars provided regular service be ween st. Paul and Stillwater. Today, Minnesota State High ays #95, #96 and #36 converge at Stillwater and provide easy acceis to the Metropolitan Area. ~ I 8 e e e R. ~ Kirchner & Associates stillwater is served by the Metropolitan Transit buses. Driving time to downtown st. Paul and the 3M Headquarters in Maplewood, via freeway is approximately twenty to thirty minutes. There is a local bus and local taxi company with radio equipped vehicles. The main street and business area of the city are located relatively close to the river with steep hills sloping upward. About half of the area in the corporate limits of the city is located on the high bluffs which parallels the st. Croix River, affording unusually attractive residential areas. Zoning ordinances and complete building codes and inspection are in effect in the city. The downtown area is old, congested and lacks adequate parking; but it has many major stores and numerous miscellaneous shops. The area is served by an excellent school district which has seven elementary schools, two junior high schools and a new senior high sch school. There is also one parochial elementary school. Much of the recent development has' been on the western edge of the community and along Minnesota Highway #36. The western edge of the city has experience large scale residential subdivision including two golf courses and roughly five hundred residential lots. Recently built homes have generally been in the $130,000 to $300,000 price range with some higher. The commercial development has been concentrated along Highway #36 including numerous restaurants, retail space, four banking facilities, Cub Foods, Walmart, lumber yard, office buildings, motels and automobile repair and service facilities. Construction is due to start soon on a new Cub store and Target. OAK PARK HEIGHTS Stillwater's southern boundary is formed by Oak Park Heights, which forms a continuous urban link with Bayport, located three miles to the south. Oak Park Heights has a large Northern States Power plant which provides a large portion of school taxes for the area. There is a modern shopping mall off State Highway #36. Oak Park Heights had a 1980 population of 2,591. The estimated 1990 population was 3,486 an increase of 34.5%. Median household incomes stayed relatively stable. 9 R.

W Kirchner & Associates ~ Appraisal Report Parcel 29a & 30 Stillwater, Minnesota DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The property is located on South Main Street (Minnesota Highways 95 & 36) in downtown Stillwater just south of the Central Business District. It is a triangular shaped parcel of land with roughly 210 feet of frontage on South Main Street and a depth of 95'. Area is 9,975 square'feet, more or less. The property is served with all utilities including bituminous street, concrete curb, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, gas and electric services. Soils consist of shallow deposits over limestone formations. Soils are assumed to be of a stable'nature. The topography is steep and very little of the site is usable. A 70 foot to 100 foot stone cliff splits the site leaving a small usable area below the cliff. Roughly 40% or 4,000 square feet is located below the cliff face. Much of the 4,000 square foot area below the face of the cliff has less than 20 feet of relatively level topography between the street right-of-way and the face of the cliff. It is difficult to see how the frontage area with less than 20 feet from right-of-way to cliff face could be economically used and still provide for proper drainage and air circulation between the face of the cliff and any prospective building. If the portion of the site lacking adequate depth between the street right-of-way and the cliff excluded, all that is usable below the bluff is a 2,000 square foot site. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS The subject property is a mostly vacant site that serves an aesthetic role in Stillwater's CBD approach. Vittorio's Restaurant has been leasing 3,504 square feet of land (Parcel 30) and may have inadvertently encroached on existing R/W with improvements for its Cave Tour concession. It is this appraiser's assumption that Lessee's improvements will be removed at the expiration of the lease and are not considered in this report. 11 R. W Kirchner & ssociates ~ e Appraisal Report Parcel 29a & 30 Stillwater, Minnesota The following impro ements are associated with the Vittorio's Cave Tours concessio~, located at 420 South Main Street, and are considered to be t~e private property of the Lessee. They encroach the subjec 's developable T.H. 95 frontage and are considered to be enc mber the existing Mn/DOT R/W (Parcels 29a and 30). The Lessee~nd~cated that C~~ s~er and water (Water & Sewer assessments unrecorded) serve the concession building and metered gas and e'lectrical service was observed. All improvements are con idered to be in average condition. 10' x 20' Concession A 1930's era lean-t 'structure serves as the main entrance to Vi ttorio' s Cave Tours concession.' The 8' building height is comprised of a 3' hi~h limestone wall (w/concrete cap) supporting .. a wooden timber fram and roof joists. A split-pine siding and ,., several fixed-pane windows complete the wall treatment. A concession window nd the Cave Tour's wooden entry door are located in the south,ast corner of the 260 square foot building. The wooden shake roof has a steel-frame temporary sign mounted illegally on its op (See Sign Regulations in Addendum). Personal property wi hin includes a stainless steel double sink, counters and open ca inets. No evidence of gas cooking or heat was evident in the b ilding. 20' x 50' Wooden Dec. i A 1980's era treatei wood deck (with 7 foot wooden landing) is located adjacent to the concession building on its South. The approximate 1.000 sq are foot deck is used for an outdoor eating area. The South lin of the deck's 3 foot high wooden railing is developed as a bench and serves with wooden picnic tables to provide an aesthetic area for Tour patrons. Note: A brass pIa ue commemorating the 1937 National Youth Project, which deve oped the South Broadway Street steps and a large area adjacent 0 the subject's rock bluff, is located near the deck. Several Otd barrels and wrought iron pieces are placed near a small pond t at has been constructed by the Lessee. A 1 1/2' high retaining all (9" x 9" timbers supports the deck's 50' frontage along sou~h Main Street and continues south for a combined total wall etaining wall length of 135 linear feet. e 12 -~ R.

W Kirchner & Associates ~ Appraisal Report Parcel 29a & 30 Stillwater, Minnesota DEFINITION OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE Highest and Best Use is defined as "The most profitable likely use to which a property can be put. The opinion of such use may be based on the highest and most profitable continuous use to which the property is adapted and needed, or likely to be in demand in a reasonable near future. However, elements affecting value which depend upon events or a combination of occurrences which, while within the realm of possibility, are not fairly shown to be reasonable probable, should be excluded from consid- eration. Also, if the intended use is dependent on an uncertain act of another person, the intention cannot be considered." The property is zoned Public Administration. It is located on South Main Street, just south of the Central Business District and has major highway frontage. It is currently leased to Sondra Gozzi of Vittorio's for $1,926 annually. Due to its current usage and its location, I do not believe that the City would have a problem with rezoning the land to Central Business District. This zone requires 10,000 square 100t lot area and front setbacks of 15 feet; rear setback of 20 feet and side setback of 10 feet, or 20 feet total. It appears that the site is just under 10,000 square feet and would require a variance. Off street parking is also required. As indicated previously, if the area of the site that has less than 20 feet between the street right-of-way and the cliff face is excluded all that is usable is roughly 2,000 square feet and that at most would accommodate a triangular building with a foundation area of 600 square feet without any available area to meet parking requirements. I do not believe the City would waive its parking requirements or that a developer would be interested in a development so limited in scope. Therefore, it is my opinion that the highest and best use of the site is its current usage or as public parkland dressed up to enhance the southern entrance to downtown. 15 ~ R.

It is adj cent to Vittorio's Restaurant also owned by Ms. Gozzi and is lea ed to provide aesthetic support and access for Cave Tours. The site is adjacent to her facility and has no obvious use to anyone else except the City of Stillwater in order to spruce up the sout ern entrance to the downtown area. LAND LEASE VALUE Land leases are reI tively scarce in the Twin Cities Area, so current data on leas rates are scarce. In estimating a market lease rate for the 1 nd that is the subj ect of this appraisal,' I talked to lessors, r al estate developers and speculators, other 4It appraisers and theist. Paul Port Authority. Three actual comparable leases we~e found. One was from 10 years ago and was between a developer and a bank in La Crosse. The second was between Lakeview Hos ital and st. Croix Valley Clinic, P.A., the third was a parcel of industrial land in Minneapolis. The appraisers and 1 nd investors indicated 8% to 10%. Another rule of thumb is 1% ess than a normal capitalization rate used in appraising land a d buildings. Typical capitalization rates are currently running 10%. This also indicates 9%. Therefore, I have concluded that reasonable rate of return would be 9% with reappraisal every fi~e years to reflect inflation in land values and/or changes in lonf term rates of returns. AS indicated previou ly the site is leased at $1,926 annually. M~nus the prospectiv expense of real estate taxes estimated at $600 indicates a net 'ncome of $1,326. I Capitalized at 9%: $1,326 .09 = $14,733 Sa $14,700 e 22 -~ e R. ~ Kirchner & Associates Appraisal Report Parcel 29a & 30 Stillwater, Minnesota CORRELATION AND VALUE CONCLUSION The indicated value by each of the approaches is: Cost Approach Direct Sales Comparison Approach Income Approach N/A $10,000 $14,700 As indicate in the highest and best use analysis, it is my opinion that the highest and best use, other than public, is its current usage. Therefore, in my final analysis I have relied on the income approach for my final va+ue estimate. Therefore, it is my opinion that the market value of the land, ~ excluding all improvements on the site, is: FOURTEEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS (14,700) The above value estimate represents fee simple market value unencumbered by special assessments. However, in this case, the buyer will be assuming pending special assessments. In my opinion, the utility and street improvements enhance the value of the property 25% or $3,000.00. Therefore, the estimated reasonable purchase price is $14,700 minus $3,000 special assessments equals: ELEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ($11,700) NOTE: This appraisal cannot be fully understood unless the Assumptions and Limitations are read in their entirety. e 23 R.W Kirchner & fssociates _~ I I e ASSUMPTI AND LIMITATIONS OF APPRAISAL This appraisal is fo no purpose other than property valuation, and the appraisers ~e neither qualified nor attempting to go beyond that narrow sc pee The reader should be aware that there are also inherent lim'tations to the accuracy of the information and analysis contai ed in this appraisal.

The title is assume to be good and marketable. The value estimate is given w thout regard to any questions of title, boundaries, encumbra ces, or encroachments. We are not usually provided an abstract f the property being appraised and, in any event, we neither ma e a detailed examination of it nor do we give any legal opini n concerning it. e 24 R. W Kirchner & Associates ~ e It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report. A comprehensive examination of laws and regu- lations affecting the subject property was not performed for this appraisal. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with, unless a nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report. Information and analyses shown in this report concerning these items is based only on a rudimentary investigation. Any signifi- cant question should be addressed to local zoning or land use officials and/or an attorney. It is assumed that all required licenses, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, or national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based. Appropriate government officials and/or an attorney should be consulted if an interested party has any questions or concerns on these items since we have not made a comprehensive examination of laws and ~ regulations affecting the subject property. Appraisal is not an engineering or property inspection report This appraisal should not be considered a report on the physical items that are a part of this property. Although, the appraisal may contain information about the physical items being appraised (including their adequacy and/or condition), it should be clearly understood that this information is only to be used as a general guide for property valuation and not as a complete or detailed physical report. The appraisers a.re not construction, engineering, environmental, or legal experts, and any statement given on these matters in this report should be considered preliminary in nature. e The observed condition of the foundation, roof, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, heating system, plumbing, insulation, electrical service, and all mechanicals and construction is based on a casual inspection only and no detailed inspection was made. For instance, we are not experts on heating systems and no attempt was made to inspect the interior of the furnace. The structures were not checked for building code violations, and it is assumed that all buildings meet applicable building codes unless so stated in the report. 25 R. W Kirchner & ..(1ssociates I -~ e The age of any impro ements to the subject property mentioned in this report should b considered a rough estimate. We are not sufficiently skilled in the construction trades to be able to reliable estimate the age of improvements by observation. We therefore rely on cir umstantialevidence which may come into our possession (such as ates on architectural plans) or conversa- tions with those who might be somewhat familiar with the history of the property such as property owners, onsite personnel, or others. Parties inte ested in knowing the exact age of improve- ments on the land sh uld contact us to ascertain the source of our data and then mike a decision as to whether they wish to pursue additional invrstigation. Because no detaileq inspection was made, and because such knowledge goes beyond the scope of this appraisal, any observed condition or other co ents given in this appraisal report should not be taken as a g arantee that a problem does not exist. Specifically, no g arantee is made as to the adequacy or condition of the fo ndation, roof, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, heatin system, air conditioning system, plumbing, electrical servic ; insulatio~, or any other detailed construction matters. If any interested party is concerned about the existence, condit 'on, or adequacy of any particular item, we ~ would strongly sugges that a construction expert be hired for a ~ detailed investigatio . I I A raisal is made un er conditions of uncertaint with limited data As can be seen from jimitations presented above, this appraisal has been performedl with a limited amount of data. Data limitations result ff'om a lack of certain areas of expertise by the appraiser (that g beyon.d the scope of the ordinary knowledge of an appraiser), th inability of the appraiser to view certain portions of the prorrty, the inherent limitations of relying upon information provrded by others, etc. There is also an ecdnomic constraint, however. The appraisal budget (and the fee f r this appraisal) did not contain unlimited funds for investigat on. We have spent our time and effort in the investigative sta e of this appraisal in those area where we' think it will do t e most good, but inevitably there is a significant possibil ty that we do not possess all information relevant to the subje t property. e 27 e ~ R. W Kirchner & Associates Before relying on any statement made in this appraisal report, interested parties should contact us for the exact extent of our data collection on any point which they believe to be important to their decision making.

Information (including projections of income and expenses) provided by local sources, such as government agencies, financial institutions, accountants, attorneys, and others is assumed to be true, correct, and reliable. No responsibility for the accuracy of such information is assumed by the appraiser. The comparable sales data relied upon in the appraisal is believed to be from reliable sources. Though all the comparables were examined, it was not possible to inspect them all in detail. The value conclusions are subject to the/accuracy of said data. e Engineering analyses of the subject property were neither provided for use nor made as a part of this appraisal contract. Any representation as to the suitability of the property for Uses suggested in this analysis is there~pre based only on a rudimentary investigation by the appraiser and the value conclusions are subject to said limitations.
