REQUESTED PURCHASE OF PC - ADMIN. DEPT.
DATE:
SUBJECT:
This memo is in answer to some questions Council has raised regarding the
purchase of an IBM PC for the Administration Dept.
The advantages a color monitor are that it is more effective to use color with
the "Word Perfect" software, it is easier on the eyes, it uses color
to highlight certain features and is more productive. A monochrome monitor,
with this software, would be in shades of gray.
The following, answers questions regarding the amount of $576 for Maintenance
Agreement. First of all, there is a 90-day warranty before the agreement
would go into effect. The agreement covers parts, travel, labor 100% and
software support - the high amount is because of the sheet feeder and envelope
feeder for the Quiet Writer printer where most trouble calls are generated. A
service call costs $50/hr., portal to portal, and I was informed a couple of
calls could eat up the cost of the Service Agreement.
There is a definite need for an additional machine in the Administrative
Office. Shirley uses her machine constantly -- she has many reports, letters,
etc. from Steve and Ann to take care of, and Sheila and I are vying with each
other for the use of the other machine. I have minutes, various memos, and
items to be typed and drafted. Sheila has letters and reports from Nile, and
other people in the office. With the PC we also would have more options for
indexing Minutes, Resolutions, Ordinances; sorting Contractors Licenses by
different categories for sending notices of expiration; all licenses could be
kept (dog, liquor, miscellaneous, etc.); graphs could be drawn and also used
for tranparancies; we could catalog Planning cases, sort by number or
alphbetically and do spread sheets.

RE: CITY OF STILLWATER
CITY ENGINEER
SEH FILE NO. 87007
Mr. Dave Magnuson
City Attorney
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Magnuson:
As you requested, we have reviewed the Runk property next to the
City garage to determine any environmental concerns with the site
for future development.
On October 17, Mr. Jim Rudd, SEH soils engineer visited the site
with David Junker. Mr. Rudd felt that a three phase approach to
the evaluation of any possible contaminates was appropriate.
Braun Engineering Corporation offers such a service. Mr. Rudd
further recommended that the City consider doing both the phase 1
and phase 2 at the same time to expedite the review process as
much as possible. Phase 1 is a typical audit consisting of a
history site and site reconnaissance. The purpose is to identify
potential sources of pollution from site reconnaissance and
review of historical information. Phase 2 would consist of two
soil borings and the recovery of samples to be tested in the lab
for volatile organic compounds and heavy metals. We have
included a description of the work that would be accomplished by
Braun Engineering for the three phases. Mr. Rudd believes that
phase 1 and phase 2 would only be necessary at this time. If any
contaminates are found, phase 3 would be necessary.
The phase I audit and reconnaissance is estimated to cost $1,300.
The phase 2 investigation and chemical analysis is estimated to
cost $2,500. If any contaminents are found in the investigation
under phase 2, it would be necessary to put down a monitoring
well. The estimated cost for this monitoring well is $1/200.
This could bring the total cost to approximately $5,000. An
addi tional $700 should be added for coordination work and any
additional requirements of the City Engineer.

We therefore recommend that the City consider an estimate of
$5/700 for the site survey. We feel at this time this would be
adequate to cover the costs incurred for phases 1 and 2 and a
possible monitoring well. However I if other potential problems
show up as a result of the phase I and phase 2 investigation such
as ground water pollution, additional monitoring wells and
investigative work would be necessary.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned.

CHANGES TO POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
PROGRAM
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
.
Accompanying this memo are revised pages 29 & 30. The changes pertain to the
corrective action for officials/managers, professionals and protective service
workers. The previous language said that the City would "select at least at
present (availability) rate. However, as Councilmember Farrell pointed out _
why have this statement if the City does not have any problems identified for
these groups? The new language merely says that we will continue to monitor
the situation through workforce analysis.
If the language is acceptable, I will submit the Affirmative Action Program to
the Department of Human Rights for their review. The COuncil can then adopt
the program for final certification by the Department of Human Rights.
POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL
Also accompanying this memo is summary of the changes approved by the City
Council on October 11, 1988. The memo includes new language regarding sick
leave for employees hired after January 1, 1989. This language is very
similar to that of Washington County and some other Cities. I think it is
reasonable.
.
I have reduced the amount of sick leave "earn back" to one day per month (for
exempt employees hired prior to January 1, 1989). The original language
proposed had a two day per month "earn back": after five years of service.
This seemed rather generous (24 days per year) so I am now proposing that we
change the pOlicy as shown on the summary.
Finally, I have asked City Attorney Magnuson to provide us with acceptable
non-discriminatory language regarding the hiring of relativeS. The material I
received from other Cities indicate that most Cities have the type of nepotism
rules that presently are contained in the Policy and Procedure Manual.
Therefore, I asked for Dave's assistance. We may have some acceptable
language by the meeting Tuesday night.

SECTION 10-1 GOAL STATEMENT
~
.
.
10-2
10-2
.
The City will attempt to administer an employee
relations program with emphasis on team effort,
goal orientation, performance appraisal and
management support. Discipline, except in extreme
situations where protecting the City.s interest are
paramount to all other considerations, should be
coupled with plans of corrective measure to prevent
recurrence of problems.
The City will attempt to anticipate situations
which might require disciplinary action and to the
best of its ability attempt to prevent them from
happening. These situations may be prevented by
orienting the employee to rules and regulations by
working with the employee in areas of job
performance and by orienting employees to
managements goals and objectives. It is imperative
that the employee knows what is expected from
him/her. A performance appraisal affords the
employee and the supervisor an' opportunity to
define job expectations, clarify the support
employees expect from management to accomplish
expectations and discuss performance on a regular
basis.
Discipline is an attempt to improve employee
performance or conduct by assigning a corrective
action appropriate to the offense. If, after the
initial corrective action, employee performance or
conduct has not improved, dfsciplinary action of
greater severity may be administered.
Discipline shall be, when circumstances permit, of
an increasingly progressive nature for each
successive instance of employee misconduct. In
recognition of the fact that each instance of
misconduct differs in some respect, the City has a
right to treat each occurrence individually without
setting a precedent for future cases.
No employee shall be disciplined without just cause
or without due process.
Change 10-2 C to read:
C. Suspension
An involuntary temporary absence from duty. The
City Coordinator, or a department head, with the
consent of the City Coordinator, are authorized to
suspend a subordinate employee without pay for
serious infraction; for anyone of the group
offenses listed in Section 9-4; or in situations
where the continued presence of the employee at the
work place would unduly disrupt the normal
7
.
operation of City services or would adversely
affect the health safety or welfare of the

WASHINGTON COUNTY
.,
Date:
October 10, 1988
To: Washington County Township and City Clerks
From: J. Scott Renne, Washington County Assessor
Subject:
New Tax Laws and Local Boards of Review
Extensive changes were made to ~innesota's Property Tax
System by the 1988 Legislature. Many of these changes are
becoming effective with property taxes payable in 1989.
The Washington County Assessor's Office offers to make a
brief presentation covering the major points of these changes
along wi th information aboll L a new format for ,Local Boards of
Review at a Township Board or City Council Meeting. A
tentative outline for the presentation is enclosed. I
anticipate that the presentation would take about 15 minutes.
If the Councilor Board opts to ha~e a presentation, I would
appreciate being able to give it at the beginning of a
meeting. Local Assessors. are invited to participate in the
presentation in locally assessed areas.
.
1989 Local Boards of Review would be held from April 1st
to May 31st, 1989. Most Boards require t~o meetings, an
initial meeting to hear the concerns of the taxpayers, and a
second meeting, one or two weeks after the initial meeting,
to allow the Assessors to follow up and report back to the
Council/Board, where the final decisions are made. In the
past our office has been represented at the first meeting,
but frequently not the second meeting. In 1989 our office
will be represented at both meetings. I would like to have
both dates scheduled for all Jurisdictions prior to November
30, 1988. If I do not hear from a jurisdiction, I will
assign the dates.
Please call me at 779-5136 if you are interested in
having the Property Tax Presentation or to arrange for 1989
Local Boards of Review.

Subject: Stillwater Downtown Development Plan
After careful review of the Downtown Development plan which was presented on
September 21, 1988, this office on behalf of the Burlington Northern Railroad
would object to the following:
1.
Any changes in zoning which would cause a change in its present use as a
switching yard.
2. Any changes in zoning which would cause a decrease in value of the
property or cause the impediment of sale of this property to another party
for their use.
Currently, Stillwater is needed as a switching yard by BNRR and we can only
support the Downtown Plan which allows us to operate this yard until the need no
longer exists or someone can pay to relocate us.
We will continue to work with the City of Stillwater on this matter and support
any efforts that mutually benefit both of us.

RE: Draft Downtown Development Plan
Dear Mayor Abrahamson and Members of the Council:
I have reviewed the draft Downtown Development Plan, September,
1988 and offer the following comments on behalf of the staff of
tpe Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission:
1. SECTION = Existing Conditions
.
Your recognition of the bluffs and the St. Croix River, adding
to the "natural beauty and interest" of the downtown area, is to
be commended and it is reflected in the plan. The plan inciudes
several significant proposals to preserve and protect those
elements.
In particular, you note that "the riverfront is the most
precious natural and cultural feature of Downtown Stillwater,
and how its edge is used is of utmost importance." We agree.
The intent of the Riverway regulations is to protect that
feature through controlled development.
2. SECTION - Goals and Objectives
We strongly support the following objectives stated in the plan:
"Preserve the natural appearances of the entrances to
Downtown, of the bluffs and hillsides, of the river
valley."
"Develop and administer design guidelines for new
development, so that the integrity of the existing and
surrounding buildings is maintained and new development is
of a height, size, and design compatible with the best
examples of existing development."
.
.
.
.
page 2
downtown development
"Establish height limits for new developments." (This is
particularly important given the official Riverway boundary
is so close to the river in the City of Sti1water. Please
note the 35 foot maximum height restriction for all
structures within the Riverway boundary as well.)
"Establish screening requirements for utility areas and
menchanica1 equipment."
"Remove parking from the riverfront along Lowell Park as
new parking becomes available and adequate spaces are
available."
"Develop a riverfront park and open space system including
Lowell Park, the City owned property south of downtown, and
Ko11iner Park." We, in particular, support this
recommendation and suggest, at such time you develop
specific site plans for areas within the Riverway district,
that you notify the National Park Serive, the Wisconsin and
Minnesota DNR's and our office. We extend an invitation to
work with you to assure compatibility with the National
Scenic Riverway.
We support your objectives for landscaping, views and
vistas, and the riverfront, in general. Each element
serves to enahnce public awareness of the Riverway as an
asset to the community and the region. We encourage you,
within limits, to provide interpretive displays and signage
in the park to explain to visitors the resource and efforts
to protect it.
3. SECTION - Special Sites
We support your intentions for Site #7 South Riverfront
Property, particularly your efforts to revert the area to
public use and control. Your design guidelines appear to
meet the inent of the Master Plan for the National Scenic
Riverway, to the extent you encourage efforts to "maintain
natural appearance of site from the river and entering
Stillwater along Highway 95 from the south."
We support your intentions for Site #8, Ko11iner Park.
Much of what happens here will depend upon the final
decisions for a bridge across the St. Croix River. We
invite you to work with the Riverway managing agencies on
final site design.
r._,.": #-. -~..
page 3
Downtown Development Plan
i
In general, we support tie extensive efforts you have made to
guide future economic de e10pment in a manner that recognizes
the natural resources an amenities of the river valley and
supports the long-term p eservation and protection of those
assets. The benefits are both economic and environmental.
.
As the largest city on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
you are embarking on an 9Pportunity to be a positive example in
this valley and for other regions where cities are bounded by or
part of our National andlState parks, Riveways, and Monuments.
I
I am sure you recognize fhe benefits of such association. At
the same time, you recog ize the constraints. You are doing a
great job of recognizing the benefits and attempting to work
within the constraints. ICongratu1ations on your efforts and
best wishes in the years! ahead as you strive for implementation.
! '
Please call upon our office for assistance as it is appropriate,
in particular when you begin work on specific design work within
the boundaries of the National Scenic Riverway.
Sincerely,
~<d~'
