RE:
FIRE PROTECTION CONTRACTS
Background
The fire protection contracts with the townships are due to expire on April 30,
1989. The Council approved a thirty-day extension of these contracts at their
meeting on April 25, 1989.
,\
Analysis
The townships have been notified of this extension and have also been sent a copy
of the proposed 1989-1990 contract with the new verbiage pertaining to hazardous
material included by the city attorney.
In light of the changes made in regards to the hazardous materials issue and the
time constraints involved, a rate st~cture review could be conducted for the
1990-1991 contracts.
Conclusion
~
Attached as Exhibit A is a cost allocation with 1989-1~90 proposed contract
amounts for each of the townships. Exhibit B is a detailed five-year averaging
schedule for each township that was used in the calculation of the contract
amounts.
Recommendation
Recommend approval of the 1989-1990 contract amounts for the townships as
follows:

RE:
DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
Background
There are three debt service funds that can be closed out because the bonds are
paid up for these funds. These funds are as follows:
#365
#370
#350
$425,000
$350,000
$300,000
G.O. Bonds of 1980
G.O, 'Bonds of 1981
G,O. Bonds of 1980
$11,792.02
$ 4,807.24
$29,273.59
Anal ys is .
. It is not necessary to keep. these funds open after the bonds are paid off.
According to the original bond resolutions, the funds remaining after the bonds
are paid may be used for other "General Obligatibn_debt service of the C;ity as
are made payable therefrom by the City Council."
Conclusion
..
There are many other G.O, debt service funds that the City currently has in use
for outstanding bonds and therefore the City Council may transfer these remaining
funds.
Recommendation
Recommend that the City Council authorize transfer of the rema~n~ng assets,
liabilities and fund balance to other general obligation debt of the City with
an effective date December 31, 1988.

RE.. OAK GLEN STATUS
For Your Information
The status of Oak Glen is of great concern to the City with regard to the
financial impact in paying off the bonds sold for this project.
As of December 31, 1989, Oak Glen was delinquent on approximately $578,000 of
special assessments, with $400,000 of this attributed to 1988 alone.
The bonds require approximately $555,000 payment per year. It is estimated that
the funds remaining in the construction account will be fully expended in the
year 1990 (provided the special assessments are not paid). .... As of today, a
deficit is projected for the year 1990 of approximately $26,000. This could
change if additional prepayments are received by the City.
The Council should be aware that this will have an impact on the 1990 budget.
The City will need to levy at 105 percent to make up for this shortfall.
It is my understanding that Ron Langness from Springsted is working on this and
will have a presentation for the Council at their May 16; 1989 meeting.

RE:
DOWNTOWN PLAN
The Council held a public informational hearing on April 11, 1989 to receive
citizens input for implementation of the Downtown Plan. This gave the Council
an opportunity to listen to public comment on the proposed plan.
Staff has met to discuss the possibilitie~ for steps to be taken with regards
to implementation. The City Engineer was unable to have the information ready
for the agenda packet on Friday but will have more detailed information at the
May 2 meeting.
A recap of that information is discussed below:
1.
-
Timing is Critical. For the project to be completed with the least
disruption to businesses as a major concern, a one-year constniction
period is planned. The scheduling for feasibility studies, public
hearings, preparing plans and specs, receiving bids and actual
construction is tight. The City Engineer estimates that with Council
approval to begin feasibility studies on May 15, 1989 a project
completion date of November 1, 1990 could be achieved.
..
2. In order to proceed with the downtown plan project, Council approval
is needed for a feasibility study with an estimated cost of $170,000
- $198,000. This would include the $6,000,000 for Phase I (i.e.,
not including special projects of $4,000,000),
3. Council approval is needed to proceed with televising of sewers in
the downtown area to be analyzed and included in the feasibility
report. Approximate cost is $20,000.
4. The possibility of providing underground utilities on Water Street
should be addressed. These were not included in the original plan
but this is the opportune time to make these improvements and would
enhance the aesthetics in this area. .
5.
Mn Dot funding and MSA designations have not been pursued as yet,
pending Council action.

Dear Mr. Russell:
This letter is prepared in response to your request, that Rocket Billiards,
IDC. inform the Stilhvater City Council as to R.ocket Billiard's plans and
operations concerning the lease of 201 Nort.h 2nd Street, ~tillwater,
Minnesota. The folIc\1ing is Rocket Billiard's proposed usage of said
space:
.
Location - 201 North 2nd Street.
A)
B) Appropri~te square footage - 7000.
C) Proposed usage - Billiard Eall and Game Room, consistir.g of.
approximately 20 Brunswick Gold Crown Pool Tables, 10 to 15 video
games and pop machines. No alcoholic beverages on premises. No
food or restaurant items on premises.
D) Parking' - It has come to the attention of Rocket Billiards that
parking may be an issue. We have studied the area and find there
exists ample on street and public lot parking. Rocket Billiards
operates a Billiard Hall and Game Room at 273 West 7th Street, St.
Faul, Minnesota wi tb approximately 7000 square feet of space.
There exists very little parking at the location, hut we find that
very few clientele drive alone, therefore, reducing the need for
a great deal of parking. We find that 90%, of our cli8ntele, do
r.ot drive alone to the location. Busses, cabs, bikes and
rideshare are used. We would be more than willing to discuss'any
foreseen parking problems, ~ith the Council, at your convenience.
E) Signage - At present, Rocket Billiards would only te utilizing
neon signs within the building. No exterior signage is needed at
present.

RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
BILLIARD PARLOR
2ND STREET
SEH FILE NO. 89114
Mr. Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
I
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Steve:
We have briefly reviewed some of the traffic impacts of the
proposed Billiard Parlor on 2nd Avenue and Commercial Street in
the downtown area. Li ttle data on our current studies exist
. relative to the traffic generated by Billiard Parlor.
We can estimate traffic generated by the Parlor based on the size
of. the building, number of pool tables and video games, and other
potential spectator activities or facilities.
Assuming approximately 20 to 25 pool tables with four players per
table and some spectators, the maximum crowd for the Billiard
area would be approximately 125 people. -Wi th a mixture of
numbers of players and a lesser utilization, an average peak
period of 70 people is more reasonable. Assuming the inner
activities such as video games also attract a number of patrons,
, the maximum number of patrons could be as high as 170 with a more
reasonable figure of 100. Based on between 1.4 and 1.6 people
per vehicle, there would be between 60 and 100 vehicles at the
building at a particular time. Obviously, a lower utilization of
tables and games would resolve in a lower number of vehicles.
At lower use times, it might be assumed that less than half of
the tables are in use and all with only two' players per table,
with a minimum number of spectators and video game players, there
may be as low as 25 people in the building.
We estimate that the 7,000 square foot facility will generate
approximately 700 daily vehicle trips. The demand for parking
will vary from only a few vehicles during the day to
. approximately 70 vehicles during heavier periods.

DATE:
APRIL 12, 1 '38'3
RE:
PROPOSED BILLIARD HALL AT 201 NORTH SECOND ST.
I wish to formally advise Council of the Police Department's strong
objection to the approval of the abov~ captioned matter. The reasons
for this objection are as follows:
.
e~~~iDg - This area is already a congested area for parking. As
you know, there is the senior high rise, businesses already in
the area and the Lowell Inn patt;~ns consuming all the available
parking in that area. The fire department had to take action
recently against the senior high rise because the peop~e were
parking in the fire lane in front of the building because of lack
of parking and residents have been complaining for some time
about lack of adequate parking in the area. We have had several
other complaints about the lack of parking in this area. To add
another traffic intensive use like this to this area would create
grave problems and would increase the service demands
urn~eascIYlably.
~ili~Q_~~~ - I also feel that this proposed use is inconsistent
with the area. This area houses is primarily elderly
individuals. To add a use that attracts mainly young persons
would, again, greatly increase the service demands from the
current residents. This would place an unreasonable hardship on
the police department clfficet~s who are already "up to their
necks" with calls for service.
I strongly oppose this proposal and urge you to do the same.

To Whom it May Concern:
We will be offering different tours in and around Stillwater
highlighting including Houlton, Wisconsin, the Old Buckhorn
sight, scenic overlook on the Wisconsin side, the old
prison in Bayport, etc. Our tour will include some of
the more hilly streets of Stillwater and will be geared
to transportation in Stillwater when trolleys first
operated in 1889. ..
We expect that one of our more popular tours will be
downtown Stillwater along the levy, under the Stillwater
Bridge, north through the large parking lot to the
boat docks, up Myrtle Street to North Main Street,
highlighting the Minnesota Zephyr, up Elm Street to
Wilkins, highlighting Pioneer Park, then travelipg
down' and highlighting such items as the Lowell Inn,
the old Post Office, traveling up South Third Street
to the old Court House, then traveling down to the
overlook and looking at downtown Stillwater, coming
back down the hilly street behind the Grand ~~rage,
and then back down to the Lowell Park.
We will be operating irregular routes on our tour
pointing out other points of interest as time permits
or as a specific group may request. We feel that by
offering some flexibility, we will be able to change
our route as traffic may demand. We also feel that
this will give us an opportunity to more closely
study the best routes to develop a regular route -.
car connecting the upper part of Stillwater the hotels
and shopping cente~s with lower Stillwatei including
Houlton, Wisconsin and Kolliner Park.

We feel that the route car can become extremely effective
in helping alleviate parking problems and effectively
move the people in the valley.
Enclosed find written permission of the Freight House Restaurant,
Jim Williams, manager and agent, to place a ticket booth
on the Freight House property near the entrance to the
parking lot. The ticket booth will approximately be
4 feet by 8 feet and approximately 7 feet tall and
will have Rivertown Trolley tickets on it. ,We also feel
that the ticket booth can be an effective information
source for tourists as to all the things that are happening
in and around Stillwater.
Enclosed find a picture showing approximate location of the
ticket booth labelled Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2 shows a
picture in Lowell Park, whi6h ~s already a bus stop
and could be used for safe .loading and unload~ng-~f
passengers.
. -Should the Planning Commission require, wewill-be'available.
to meet with them to more clearly point out and answer
any additional questions that the Commission may have.
~;so included is a rough sketch of the ticket booth
sight as it relates to existing buildings. _We are
confident that an effective trolley system will enhance
the City of Stillwater and the St. Croix valley area
and will be able to help solve some traffic problems
and to help the city grow with the adopted downtown
plan.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
.
DATE:
APRIL 26, 1989
SUBJECT: PARKING REVIEW OF 9,800 SQUARE FOOT FLEA MARKET USE IN EXISTING
BUILDING AT 312 NORTH MAIN STREET.
The application is to use an existing building for a Flea and Farmers Market.
The market would be open on Saturdays and Sundays only. The Flea Market is a
permitted use in the CA, General Commercial District. There are not specific
parking requirements but using the standards for retail sales, 65 parking
spaces are required. The applicant has indicated there will be 20 vendors. The
vendors could park on a portion of the Domino Pizza site currently leased by
the applicant. There is no other on-site parking for customers. An entrance to
the use would be constructed along Main Street. A sign is proposed for that
location. The Sign Ordinance limits the size of the sign to 25 square feet.
Parking is a concern in the North Main Street area as with other areas of the
Downtown. The previous use of the 312 North Main Street building was a
furniture making business. The parking demand for that use would be primarily
Monday through Friday and require fewer spaces than a Flea Market.
The applicant has indicated that he will pe contacting adjacent property
owners to see if he can use their parking lots on weekends for Flea Market
use.
.
The Building Department has reviewed the request for code compliance (review
attached). No major problems have been identified.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consideration of request and decision based on parking avqilability for the
use.
If approved the following Conditions of Approval are recommended for Council
consideration.
1. A minimum of twenty parking spaces for Flea Market vendor Shall be ~-/;1
available, signed and used on the Domino Pizza site. ~~ .
2. There shall be no outside storage of sales of any items. All items /fiJo.rP "",.,..J
shall be sold or stored inside the building. r
3, The sign size shall be 25 square feet maximum. No off-site signing is
a 11 owed.
.
4. The use, conditions of approval, and parking situation shall be
reviewed in six months. If the use or parking demand of the activity
adversely affects the use, the use may be revoked. '
5. The applicant shall provide the City with a lease for any off-site
parking to show the forms of its availability.
6. Existing improvements shall be made to meet City building code
requirements, as approved by the City Building Official.
7. A maximum of twenty vendors shall be allowed on any day.

RE:
Area to be used for Flea Market.
As per your request, I visited the area on North Main Street with
Mr. Junker today. The area is sprinklered and has the proper number
of exits, however the stairs to the exits will have to be remodeled.
There is a proper off street loading area in the rear.

Dear Council Members:
Re: Parking for proposed flea market on North Main St.
I am sorry I will be unable to attend the meeting tonight with
regard to the proposed flea market for North Main Street. As a
property owner, I would like to make the Council aware that I
do not have an agreement with any of the neighboring property
owners for usage of my lot for parking. That is not to say
that I am opposed to a leasing arrangement in the future.
At this time, I am opposed to the flea market until -adequate
parking is provided.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NO. PR/89-23 - Parking Review for a 7,000 square foot Billiard Hall
located at 201 North Second Street in the CA, General Commercial District.
Rocket Billiards, Applicant.
John Polski, representing-the applicant, corrected the description of the_use.
He indicated there would be twelve 9' pool tables, 18 tables total rather than
the 20. Other video and vending machines would be as described in the
application. Mr. Polski presented figures showing activity levels from Rocket
Billiatds existing business at 7th Street in St. Paul. He indicated the hours
of operation of the use would be 12:00 Noon to 1:00 A.M. and that there are
twelve parking spaces on site that could be used in the evening and on
weekends by the Billiard Hall, others on Second Street and Main Street. He
indicated that it is anticipated that most of the customers would probably be
adults during evening hours. Tim Ducharme, who has the existing Rocket
Billiards use at 273 West Seventh Street in St. Paul said that business has
worked out for the area and it has no on-site parking.
No one from the audience spoke against the request. Commissioners felt that
the use has potential for being a problem but with good management problems
could be minimized. The twelve parking spaces located on the site should be
used for the Billiard Hall parking. Commissioners mentioned that another
Billiard Hall has recently been approved in the City and the same conditions
of approval should apply. Conditions of approval include:
1. No food or restaurant items on premises.
2. No alcoholic beverages served on premises.
3. Window signage shall not cover more than 30% of the window area.

SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO SITE PLAN OF APPROVED PLANS FRO A 7,200
SQUARE FOOT AUTO/TRUCK REPAIR BUILDING LOCATED ON THE
CORNER OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD AND CURVE CREST BOULEVARD.
Th is project was approved by the City Council January 3, 1989. Since
that time, the applicant has surveyed the site in more detail. Based
on the survey, they have modified the site plan. The building has
been moved to align with the south property boundary further away
from Curve Crest Boulevard and the residences to the north. The
garage doors have been relocated to the north side of the building.
The building design, signage, and landscape plan have been modified
to reflect the changes. The visual impact of the building wou1~ be
reduced because the rear portion of the building is excavated six
feet into the hill. Another benefit of the revision is that the
enclosed storage area will be scree,ned by the building and,located
further from the road. The original Staff Report and Coriditions of
Approval are attached.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. SUP/88-73
Planning Commission Meeting: December 12, 1988
Project Location: Southwest corner of Curve Crest and Industrial Blvds.
Zoning District: Industrial Park Industrial
Comprehensive Plan District: IP-I
Applicant's Name: Happy Thomsen
Type of Application: Special Use Permit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Auto and truck repair use.
DISCUSSION:
A repair garage requires a Special Use Permit in the Industrial Park -
Industrial District. Permitted uses in the district include limited
manufacturing, office, research facility, warehousing and wholesale business.
The truck/auto repair is different from the manufacturing and office uses on
Industrial Boulevard and Northwestern Avenue. The site on the corner of Curve
Crest and Industrial is located at an entrance to the Stillwater Business
Par k .
PROJECT ANAL YS IS
-The proposed 7,200 square foot building meets the setback and height -
requirements for the district. A landscape plan shows street trees, bermed and
sodded areas. Signage is shown on the Curve Crest Boulevard side of the
building in two sixty square foot signage areas. Building compatible with the
area as well as use compatibility is a permit consideration. The proposed
building would be of a similar design to the buildings under construction east
of the site on the north side of Curve Crest with exceptjon of no mansard band
around the top of the building.
The proposed twenty foot bui lding would be constructed of vertical rib metal
siding with brick accent siding on the Curve Crest and Industrial Blvd. sides.
The repair areas of the building would be one story while the central office
section two stories. No mechanical equipment or refuse storage areas are
shown on the site plan.
It is recommended that a mansard be added around the entire top of the
building. This would increase the interest of the building and make it more
compatible with other buildings in the area. Other recommendations include
removal of the farthest west security light (toward residences) realigning the
driveway entrance to a regular entrance, screening any mechanical equipment
and trash area, and removing signs over garage doors. Before bui lding permits
can be issued, a final grading/drainage plan must be submitted for City
Engineer review.

Dear Members of the City Council:
.
Attached please find my water bill for the first quarter of
1989 and a copy of the check paying the same. We indeed did
use that much water. Dennis from the water department'
called me prior to us getting this bill, and said our water
consumpti on is much hi g!"1er than i t usu~~l y,~~~.
I inspected
all water outlets, and found that we had a outside sill
faucet that had been turned on by some kids over the winter.
Because annual sewer charges are predicated on one's first
quarter water bill, I would like some consideration on my
sewer bill.
I did use the water I was billed for, but
didn't flush it down the sewer.

City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Mayor and Honorable Members of the Stillwater City Council;
Enclosed please find copies of my water and sewer bill covering the last quar-
ter of 1988.
The 1st quarter of 1989 and the 1st 3 quarters of 1988 reflected water usage
of 53,000 to 75,000 gallons per quarter.
The 4th quarter of 1988 showed usage of 173,000 gallons. Mr. Dennis McKean
from the Water Department sent a man to our building on December 14, 1988 to
determine if there are any problems. None were discovered. Our maintenance
man did report to us however that he had recently repaired a toilet that had
been running for an unknown periOd of time.
Our current water bill for the 1st quarter of 1989 indicated the usage is down
to 84,000 gallons, so I presume that if there was a-problem in the buildtngrt
'has been corrected.
Natur~lly with the high water usage we have a correspondingly high sewer bill.
I know that in the past the City has given relief in these unusal cases, and
I am herewith requesting your consideration in reviewing our situation and
hopefully affording us whatever help you can.
I know that you have many other pressing matters to consider, but I do appreci-
ate your assistance.

SUBJECT:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
APRIL 28, 1989
CONSIDERATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FOR BRICK POND
AREA.
The City recently developed and adopted a land use plan for the Brick Pond
area. The plan designates the area Commercial, Multi-Family Residential and
Parks and Open Space. Improvement plans for the street, water and sewer lines,
and storm water have recently been approved. Because of the land use pattern,
developable land on only one side of the street, and planned public
improvements (neighborhood park and pathway), the costs of improving the area
are high and may be a constraint to the future development of the land.
To assist with the improvements cost and to improve the likelihood of
development of the area, to strengthen the tax base,itts suggested_that the
Council consider establishing an Economic Development District for the area.
Economic Development Districts are tenyearudjstric't s.Ei ghtyears ofutax
increment would be generative. The District would be a part of the overall
Development District of the City and revenues from the District could be used
in the Downtown, or other project areas, to upgrade the substandard
conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consideration of establishing Brick Pond Economic Development District. If
recommended, direct Staff to prepare necessary notice and plan amendment
information.

RUDY PERPICH
GOVERNOR
April 19, 1989
The Honorable Wallace L. Abrahamson
Mayor
City of Stillwater
City Hall
216 North 4th Street
stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mayor Abrahamson:
Enclosed are two articles from a California journal that I believe
should be read by all of our state and local policy-makers. It
describes the groundswell of support and the urgent need for
enhanced, aggressive recycling and waste reduction programs.
As a part of our efforts to make recycling a major element of all
waste management strategies in Minnesota, we must be sensitive to
the need for markets for recycled materials. Without markets, any
effort to expand recycling will be frustrated. So,~I am~urginga11
state and local elected officials to review the existing procurement
practices in your offices and schools. It is time ,to act now to
convert to recycled office paper, to purchase items that. can be
re-used, and to seek ways to substitute virgin-based products for
recycled products. Our schools and government offices should be
"model~" to encourage all employees and students to participate in
source separation of recyclable materials and above all, to reduce
waste so that disposal is averted. -
I have presented the 1989 Legislature with a comprehensive package
to bring Minnesota to the forefront in our efforts to recycle and
reduce waste and litter. The recommendations came as a result of
The Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) which
included private industry, state and local officials as well as
those representing recyling and environmental interests.
It is time to enact environmentally progressive laws that will set
the solid waste policies for our state. Your participation in the
conversion of our citizenry from a "throw-away" to a '
reduction-recycling oriented society is essential. Government
and our schools should set an example and lead the way.

Pigs, paper and politics
Recycling waste seems simple, but there are problems galore in implementing
a reprocessing program. Even a successful program won't end
the need for landfills or waste-to-energy plants.
J used to say that aslcing people to
separate their garbage was hazardous
to an elected officials health. ·
- Joy Picus. Los Angeles city
councilwoman
By JOHN RUNNETTE
.
It wasn't that long ago when pigs re-
cycled part of Los Angeles' gar-
bage, The San Gabriel Valley was farm
country then. The year was 1947. The
population of the county was just over
4 million people. (It is double that
today, )
John Runnette is afTee-lance writer
in Los Angeles.
Almost everyone lived in single-
family homes then. And utilizing pigs'
natural appetite for garbage to produce
pork. ham and bacon made sense in an.,
area still conscious of its rural
heritage.
Forty years ago. most Southern Cal-
ifornians still burned their trash in
backyard incinerators. then set out the
ashes for weekly collection. along with
the empty bottles and cans. Another
container held kitchen scraps or slop.
(These were the days before garbage
disposals.) City crews picked up every-
thing. The bottles and cans went to
scrap glass and metals dealers. the
kitchen scraps to the pig farmers of the
San Gabriel VaHey.
But then the pigs suddenly got sick.
and tainted kitchen scraps proved to be
the cause. Cities stopped collecting
food garbage about the same time that
pig farms began being divided up for
new home developments.
Other habits changed too. once war-
time reasons for residential recycling
faded with victory. Falling scrap
prices removed the last economic in-
centive. Smoke and foul-smelling air
put an end to backyard incinerators.
That set the stage for Sam Yorty's pop-
ular campaign promise of the early
19605: He promised to free Los An-
geles housewives from the burden of
separating their garbage.
Yorty's election did not singlehand-

edly initiate the age of landfills -like
all cities, Los Angeles already had a
few small dumps, But the Yorty vic-
tory gave impetus to a dependence on
landfills, and new habits helped too,
The growing waste stream now began
to contain a lot of new packaging
materials,
As larger landfills came on line in
the '60s, recycling began to seem like
an old-fashioned habit. City trucks
carried everything away to new dumps
like Mission Canyon and Calabasas in
tween recycling and its first phase: re-
covery, Collecting and recovering
materials from some point in the solid
waste stream is only the beginning; re-
ycling comes when basic manufactur-
rs use recovered materials to produce
lass, aluminum, tin or paper,
In Los Angeles and several other
ities throughout California, citizens

ials in support for recycling, and
lected officials are ahead of their bur-
aucracies. The grassroots aspect of
the Santa Monica Mountains, Scholl in
Glendale~ Spadra in Pomona. In 1971
the giant facility at Puente Hills
opened up.
Then the old $~ck-pig problem
popped up in modern form. From the
huge landfills, methane gases and
leachates began percolating into the
ground, seeping down and out into
water supplies. As public health con-
cerns grew, more citizens began ques-
tioning what was really happening
inside those mountains of gtrbage.
Several smaller California cities -
Modesto, Downey, Davis and Berke-
ley among them - gradually resumed
recycling programs in the '70s, while
Los Angeles flirted with and ulti.
mately rejected expensive waste-to-en-
ergy technology. Today recycling is a
thoroughly rehabilitated, "progres-
sive" idea, even in the City of the
Angels.
Yet even in its new popularity, re-
cycling is little understood. A
basic distinction must be made be-
28 GOLDEN STATE REPORT
the issue has pushed it onto the polit-
i al agenda in many citie:; - it may be
point for debate in the L.A, mayor-
lty race this year,
The sense of urgency varies widely,
owever. Some cities seem indifferent
hile others are almost militantly
roused. One rule of thumb seems to
ork: The closer a community is to an
xisting or proposed landfill, the
igher the interest. As John Waddell of
efuse News has said, "We won't see
solution until there's garbage on the
s reets. "
Consider what happeried in the~San
ernando Valley when Sunshine Can-
on landfill began operating. Located
alf in the city of Los Angeles and half
( ostly undeveloped) in the county,
t is landfill currently accepts a little
ore than one-third of L.A. 's solid
aste stream. BFI Inc., which oper-
tes_.the facility, has petitioned the
county for expansion which, if ap-
roved, would make Sunshine one of
t e biggest landfills in the United
tates.
"Living next to a landfill." says
Mary Edwards of the North Valley Co-
alition, "has made believers and re-
cyclers out of us." The Coalition has
been in the forefront of the battle to
limit the life and growth of Sunshine.
So have L.A. City Councilman Hal
Bernson, whose district includes part
of the landfill, and Citizens for a Better
Environment, which earlier fought
L.A, 's plan to build three waste-to-en-
ergy plants,
Another ally has been Assembly-
woman Marian LaFollette (R-North-
ridge), who represents the north San
Fernando Valley. LaFollette authored
AB 2818, which makes cities and
counties commit to recycling before
expanding landfills or opening new
dumps. '
Edwards says the North Valley Co-
alition "did not feel it was ethically
correct to take a 'not-in-my-back-
yard'" attitude. In some other areas,
local efforts reflect similarly positive
reactions to the growing problems of
waste disposal:
Y' Granada Hills Junior Chamber of
Commerce launched a residential re-
cycling program even before any city
efforts began. The chamber provides
monthly curbside j)ickup of news-
paper, glass, plastics and aluminum.
mu__~Jn the Lake.YiewuTerraceareaof
the San Fernando Valley, near the city-
owned Lopez Canyon Landfill, the
same type of neighborhood curbside
program began last ~fay, Cooperating
with a private recycll.'r, the Lake View
Terrace Improvemem Association pro-
motes participation with the motto,
"Everything you put on the recycling
truck stays out of the landfill." The
group's profits have been spent on
library books and local improvements,
But profits are slim, in part because
of the falling price of used newsprint.
Association spokeswoman Phyllis
Hines says that as long as there's any
market for recycled goods, "things are
okay. But we'd love to have a paper
mill close by that used our paper. We'd
like to see legislation passed that all
city offices had to use recycled paper."
Hines' volunteers are reluctant to
join the city's pilot curbside recycling
program. "Our program isn't costing
the city a cent," she says. "There was
no startup cost. Our private recycler
even paid for the door hangers to tell
the community about the program. . .

How recycling cracked Walnut
Geography was a key motivator in the campaign to
make the city of Walnut a leader in recycling. The
bedroom community of 25,000, just south of Los An-
geles, borders two large landfills - the BKK facility in
West Covina and the L.A. County-City of Pomona
landfill at Spadra. (The latter also was the proposed
site of a waste-to-energy plant.)
Former Walnut Mayor Harvey Holden is now the
executive director of the San Gabriel Valley Associa-
tion of Cities and a leader in the recycling program.
"We studied recycling, composting, waste-to-energy
and a proposal which we didn't start out taking seri-
ously but in the end did, which was rail haul. I
"In recycling we learned that we are not a Japan,
where they've been doing it, in some cities, for 100
years, We discovered what everyone probably already
knows: that composting is a great idea - a necessary
component to solving the waste problem - but we
simply haven't learned how to cope with the products
cc,ming out of citywide composting.
"The composting situation will have to have a break-
through to deal with the volume that will be produced.
Even here, the junior college started a program, and
then they had to say. 'Stop.' Where were they going to
put it?"
Holden is somewhat impatient with the pace 01 re-
cycling action. "One of the things which distresses me
most." he says, "is that all of the recycling information
is available from the state, from the l.A. County San-
itation Districts. Nobody needs to study it - all they
need to have is the guts to implement it."
The possibility of a nearby waste-to-energy incin-
eration plant was enough to get Walnut's opposition
organized. "Never had so many people reacted so fast
to an issue," Holden recalls. "It was only rivaled one
time by the hint that a prison might be located (nearby)
in the City of Industry."
The city worked out the cost of curbside collection
and charged all residents an additional recycling fee
of less than $1 a month. That will be rebated, says
program administrator Sean Joyce, when proceeds
from the sales of collected recyclables come in.
Ex-Mayor Holden believes the experts who say that
, waste-to-energy plants'must come eventually, as a part
of managing the waste stream.
He's convinced that there's a lot of misunderstanding
about recycling. "People hear 50 percent, and think
that's half of the problem solved. But residential re-
cycling is only 10 percent of our (total) solution. . .
~ome people have used the argument of recycling
against waste-to-energy plants, but I haven't heard
anyone say that recycling can do everything."
Holden says the public must be educated and then
alternative solutions, with realistic cost estimates, must
be placed on the ballot. "We haven't got the solutions,
because the issues are too politically hot.I/he says.
"We have tons of trash right now, with no real place
to go. ,
"- -"If we don"t get the ball moving right now, then_ we__
have a problem," he says. "For a politician now, you
have to forget this political suicide and put the issue
on the ballot." - j,R.
helping our communir.v The city gets
so bogged down in politics and red
tape. "
y# In Walnut. a bedroom commu-
nity near Los Angeles. residents have
adopted one of the state's first man-
datory curbside recycling' programs
with virtually no political opposition.
(See box.)
Y# Santa Monica has whaf may be
the most complete recycling program
in the nation. It has curside pickup,
multi-family zones (for apartments).
drop-off zones. buy-back centers,
composting. home toxic curbside
pickup. office paper programs, plastics
collections and even toy recycling.
The success of any recycling pro-
gram hinges on three questions:
What's in the trash? How much can be
recycled? What percent of the popu-
lation will be involved?
Garbage falls into three general cat-
egories. one-third residential, one.
third commercial and institutional.
one-third industrial. Most pol itical
discussions of recycling focus on the
residential segment because it is the
easiest and most dramatic place to
begin.
Separating bottles from cans is a
daily reminder to citizens that some.
thing is being done about the waste
problem, but since residential waste is
only one-third of most waste streams,
residential programs can create the
impression that greater amounts are
being diverted from landfills than ac-
tuallyare.
Most private haulers feel they must
offer some form of recycling as part of
the collection service they seek to sell
their city-clients. Yet no matter how
committed the hauler and how enthu-
siastic the community, the content of
garbage defines what impact recycling
can achieve,
Among "garbologists," one gener-
ally agreed-upon statistic is that 20
percent of residential wastes are "read-
ily recyclable." Another 30 percent
from single-family homes is "yard
waste." Together, those elements form
the 50 percent which is considered a
realistic recycling target for residential
garbage.
.... Yet such figures hide as much as they
reveal. How much of the "readily re-
cyclable" cans, glass and newspaper
are already being diverted through
paper drives and the new California
."bottle bil1?'~How much ofy~rd
, wastes are actually compostible (grass
clippings, leaves, etc.) and how much
are solid wood?
Another problem is the amount of
miscellaneous paper than cannot be re-
cycled readily. Junk mail is but one ex-
ample; food packaging is another.
Cities like Palo Alto have begun edu-
cation campaigns on so-called source
reduction, urging citizens to buy fresh
vegetables instead of frozen to cut
down on packaging wastes.
How many people will actually re-
cycle household wastes? L.A,'s County
Sanitation Districts surveyed 600 res-
ket value for used plastic containers.
Currently 95 percent of recycled plas-
tic bottles are sent to mills outside of
the United States where they are pro-
cessed into items like carpet backings.
paper from landfills, "There are three
countries who lead the world in recy-
cling," says Gary Peterson of Ecolo-
Haul, a Los Angeles recycling and
waste paper company. "Japan, Ger-
many and California,"
The problem, according to Al
Strickman of Garden State Paper of Po-
mona (a leading producer of new paper
out of old), is that the paper mills are
demand-driven. "No paper company
builds a plant without a market," he
says, Yet right now the city of Los An-
geles could produce more used news-
paper than could be consumed by all
California paper mills, he says.
One solution would be for govern-
ment to stimulate the market for recy-
cled produce, just as it has stimulated
markets for other products, according
to Ecolo-Haul's Peterson. "We don't
want or need government interference,
just stimulation, Why can't the gover-
nor grant a tax break for building more
paper plants that use old newspapers?"
.
Timetable to crisis
Here are the grim numbers on Calif, rnia's waste management scene:
Annual waste stream production: 3 .8 million tons,
Remaining permitted landfill capac ty: 490,230,909 tons.
Time remaining until all existing lar dfill is closed: 12 years.
Some cities and counties are in bet er shape than others, of course,
In some areas, existing landfills will b loaded in fewer than five years,
To see how California's most populpus county will be affected, look
at l.A.'s Sanitation Districts' "time-to crisis" timetable.
Y' If no landfill expansion is pern itted, no new sites opened and
current recycling level continues, l.) . County will reach crisis condi-
tions in 1991,
Y' If all possible expansions of exi ting landfills were permitted, no

at nearly twice the rate of the country
as a whole.
Consequently, our dumps are filling
up. About 70 percent of California's
urban areas will be out of landfill space
within eight years. Eight of our largest
counties have less than five years to go.
What then?
Cities should be worried. but the
same local officals who demand trou-
ble-free waste disposal also make land-
use planning decisions. And they tend
to oppose new landfiIls anywhere
nearby.
There is still remote space in Cali-
fornia. but trucking waste long dis-
tances will run up garbage bills
astonishingly, violating the citizen ex-
pectation that waste disposal should be
cheap as well as easy.
Recycling is cheap but not easy. And
so for a long time, few households
did it.
Now. some communities have gone
to curbside recycling. These experi-
ments have shown that people will
recycle if the system can be made
conven ient.
""" In San Jose, curbside recycling is
expected to reduce tonnage to landfills
one-third by 1992.
""" In San Francisco, more than 25
percent is already being recycled.
""" In my district, in addition to San
Jose, the communities of Fremont,
Newark and Union City will go to curb-
side recycling in 1989.
Such programs should be models for
urban and suburban recycling. But for
less densely populated areas, we will
have to invent methods that match the
dispersed characteristics of those com.
munities, and that will not be easY,uWh

bill, was carried successfully in the
1985-86 session by Assemblyman Burt
Margolin. But the results to date have
not been the kind of bottle recycling
we had hoped for. Perhaps the incen-
tive - 1 cent per bottle - does not
outweigh the inconvenience.
In the 1987-88 kgislative session,

understanding about that, I carried AB
2448 in 1987. Among other things, the
law makes owners financially respon-
sible for their landfills up to 30 years
after they close. The bill also sets up a
so-called garbage superfund to ensure
that there is a means to clean up un-
foreseen problems.

ardous waste programs. The next step
is the development of local implemen-
tation plans.
Third. the Legislature must find
ways to promote more recycling, and
we can do that by stimulating the
growth of markets for recycled goods,
To gain the governor's support this
time. we probably need a fresh way to
illustrate the economics of the situa-
tion, I suggest we develop a new mar-
ket model of waste disposal that
quant i fies not only the out-of-pocket
costs of recycling, but also the costs we
avoid when recycling reduces the need
for so much waste disposal.
The federal government did this sort
of "avoided costs" analysis during the
oil embargo. It based energy strategies
not only on the costs of developing al-
ternative sources. but also on the costs
we could escape by IIiOt importing for-
ei!;n crude,
Appl ied to the waste question, it
seems reasonable thal there is a poten-
tial benefit to the staif, by recycling,
we can avoid some of the costs and
risks that come w!th 'andfilling.

As waste-to-energy projects go, the new Stanislaus
County Resource Recovery Facility 20 miles
southwest of t-.AGde,to is something of a California
miracle.
Plans for the plant, which started trial runs at the
end of 1988, wele'initwted only about three years ago.
Given California'sstrict environmental controls, most
waste-managemerTt specialists estimate that it can take
five years just to get a proposal through the permit
process.
But when local officials get full steam behind a proj-
ect, it can move r.l!Qidly, as was the case of this venture
involving StanislilWsCounty, the city of Modesto, Og.
den Martin Systems Inc., the California Pollution Con-
trol Financing Authority, the state Department of
Health Services~ the state Energy Commission, the
state Solid WasteManager:nent Board a-nd the state Air
Resources Board.
The $120 million project is designed to process 800
tons of waste a di1r,and will serve more than 400,000
residents of Stanislaus County, relieving pressure on
.
.-'
two landfills that will reach capacity in 1991 and
2004. Electricity from the plant will be sold to Pacific
Gas & Electric Co.
The facility is California's third waste-to-energy plant
and Ogden-Martin's first in the state. The New Jersey-
based firm designed, built and helped finance the
plant. It will own and operate the facility until 2014,
,1;
industry representatives, local offi-
cials and citizens' groups all helped
out in good faith to make the measur~
workable,
In the 1989-90 legislative session,
we'll go at it again. The first item
on the solid waste agenda, it seems to
me, should be discussions with local
government over the landfill siting pro-
cess. That will be controversial.
I am a former city councilmember
and a strong backer of the "local con-
trol" principle. A few years ago, I
fought a measure that would have per-
mitted state ,government to override..
localities that rejected siting appliCa-
tions for controversial operations like
chemical plants.
But we have to clarify openly the
tradeoffs and then choose consciously.
Cheap waste disposal implies nearby
landfills, Remote landfills imply very
significant cost increases. It will not be
fair play for city officials to profess
"shock" later if they deliberately se-
lect the high-priced option.
This is not a decision we can post-
pone. Ten years from flOW, five years
from now, even two y'~ars from now
will be too late. We should decide in
this session, or get ready for Califor-
nia's version of the famous New York
garbage barge that had no place to go.
Decisiops like this are complicated
these days by a new and nasty public
affairs acronym - NiMBY, It stands
for "not in my backyard, .. and it refers
to the growing tendency to resist the
siting of facilities that could conceiv-
ably cause problems, even though all
agree the facilities are essential: sewer
plants, jails, mental hospital~ and land-
fills, to name a few. '
But there is another acronym that
should inform this debate: TWABAL.
It means "there will alwl'ys be a
landfill. "
That is a disagreeable assertion to
those who hope the need for landfills
soon will fall drastically. These folks
expect that environmental limits will
force us, under the whip of necessity,
to re-learn the lost art of efficient
consumption.
That would be wonderful, but noth-
ing of the kind is in sight. Even if we
could reduce the flow of waste to land-
fills, as this year's vetoed legislation
attempted to do, state growth and the
continued use of non-recyclable prod-
ucts means these materials will bave to
be disposed of somewhere.

new session's agenda should be a
policy encouraging localities to de-

Products like paint, insecticides and

stances should be disposed of sepa-

usually no ready channel for proper

Dear Wally:

We have received the check for $2,625 from the City of Still-

On behalf of all of us here at Community Volunteer Service,
I'd like to thank you very much for this contribution. Your
continued support of the Senior Center has never been more
important or more appreciated.
Last year, the Senior Center welcomed 73% more seniors through
its doors than in the previous year, and it appears this trend
is continuing into 1989. 'The Senior Center continues to seek
out and offer the services and activities that senior citizens
need and want. It is a healthy and viable program that has
grown. steadily to accomodate the senior citizens of Washington
county and much credit for that goes to the City of stillwater
for its continued support.
I have enclosed our 1988 Annual Report for you. Again, thank
you very much.

Dear Mayor Abrahamson;
I'm writing in regards to the newly installed stop sign at the
corner of Martha and Moore. I do not believe the traffic on these
streets warrant a stop sign. I'm wondering how much input was
received before the decision was made. How many cars travel on
Moore Street per day? What was their average speed determined to
be? How often do vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians meet another
vehicle at this intersection? How many accidents have occurred
here? My parents have lived here for forty years and they know
of none. Were any citizens in this neighborhood asked their
opinion or did the voice of one constitute a need?
Mr. Mawhorter took the easy route and honored a request without
studying the situation. I understand the request was made because
of a concern about speed. Instead of restricting the flow of
traffic were other avenues pursued? The patrol cars in this
neighborhood have decreased in the past few years instead of
becoming more visible. If there is reason for concern why not
increase the patrol? Have any tirikets ~ver bee~ issued for speeding
on Moore Street? Did anyone consider placing a "Caution Children"
sign here if the concern is with children? ,
The trend seems to' be to place stop signs wherever, with no
thought being given to the overall flow of traffic. The residential
areas of our city seem to be inundated with unnecessary stop signs.
I know they are a must in many situations but I think they are
being placed with insufficient information. -
The volume and speed of traffic on Moore Street does not call
for a stop sign. In fact, traffic along the golf course is often
slow moving traffic. It is only a three way intersection as
opposed to a four way intersection and Martha Street carries a very
minimum amount of traffic. Traffic has also been stopped on an
incline. Was that ever considered?
For the above stated reasons, I would like to request the
removal of the stop sign on the corner of Martha and Moore.
Thank you for listening and acting on my concerns.

Levy Limits Proposed by Tax Bills--
Cities Need to Contact Legislators
TO:
RE:
Both House and Senate tax bills (H.F. 1734 and S.F. 473) propose a
severe tightening of levy limits for Pay 1990. Both bills impose a
strict three percent limit for next year. The Senate bill would
impose such limits on all cities, including small cities with
populations under 2,500. Population/household adjustments are also
restricted under both bills. A summary of levy limit provisions is
provided below.
. cities .should immediately contact their~-legislators-~ about~ proposed-'-'~o~"~-,, d_

services, programs and number of employees. Copies of any
correspondence should also be sent to tax conferees (list
attached). The tax bills are expected to be considered this week
on the House and Senate floors. Conference action will begin next
week. -
The League is opposing this tightening of levy limits because it
will pose financial problems for many cities. The three percent
adjustment is well below the inflation rate. stringent limits are
being imposed at a time when cities are struggling with the high
costs of mandates --particularly comparable worth and binding
arbitration. '
Three Percent Levy Limit
Both House and Senate bills impose a three percent levy limit for
Pay 1990. For larger cities with populations over 2,500, the three
percent increase will be applied to the Pay 1989 levy limit base
(rather than the actual levy for Pay 1989). Under the Senate bill,
small cities must use actual levies for Pay 1989 as the levy limit
base for Pay 1990.
.
Under the House bill, cities with reserve appeals for Pay 1989 and
1990 must use a different levy limit base (see previous Action.i ;'"'1\/ i

Re:
Potential Conflict of Interest Relating to
Proposed Development by Tim and Don Nolde
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
It has come to my attention that Tim Barnett, a partner of
mine in Mackall, Crounse & Moore and I have a potential conflict
of interest regarding the proposed Nolde development project in
the City of Stillwater. I discussed this matter-with City
Attorney David Magnuson last week and requested that he bring the
matter to your attention at the next council meeting.
Mr. Barnett represents Tim and Don Nolde as legal counsel
and has been asked to represent them on the "hotel-mixed use"
project being considered on the South Main Street parking lot. I
have been asked to represent the City regarding the structuring
of the use of tax increment financing and the drafting of the
redevelopment agreement relating to the project. We anticipate
that the Noldes will request certain public assistance, including
tax increment financing, in connection with the project.
.
In order to allow both of us to represent our respective
clients in this matter, we would like to propose an arrangement
by which we can eliminate any possibility that our representation
of either client would adversely affect our relationship with the
other. At the end of this letter, we will ask the City to
consent to such representation. We are also asking the developer
for a similar consent.

MACKALL, CROUNSE a. MOORE
Working Arrangements
As I have stated above, the proposed project will likely
involve a number of business and legal issues on which I have
advised the City in the past, including the structuring of the
use of tax increment and the drafting of the redevelopment
agreement. With respect to the project, I would expect to advise
the City on these issues in the same manner as I have in past
projects. We believe that the interests of the City and the
developer in this project are generally aligned. However, to
minimize any conflict of interest, I would not become directly
involved in the negotiations with the developers and their
counsel. Instead, this task would be exclusively handled by
David Magnuson, and steve Russell. Although I would not
participate in the negotiations, I would consult with and advise
Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Russell on the issues involved in the
negotiations to the same extent that I have in the past. As part
of my representation of the City, I also would draft any required
legal documents.
The Noldes will be principally represented by Mr. Barnett,
with assistance from one of the members of our Public Finance
Department, John Utley. We will take formal steps to ensure that
neither I nor any other attorney in the firm representing you in
connection with the project will discuss any aspect of the
project with Messrs. Barnett or Utley, or any other attorney
representing the developers. We will also take steps to ensure
that attorneys representing the developers will not be allowed
access to any files created in connection with our representation
of the City. With this protection in place, and in light of the
proposed role of Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Russell i~ the
negotiations, we believe we can adequately represent the
interests of both the City and the developers in the development
of the project.
This advantage of our dual representation in this matter is
that each party will be represented by counsel of its choice.
The disadvantage is that, should it become evident during the
course of our firm's dual representation of the City and the
developers that we cannot continue to represent both clients
without adversely affecting our relationship with one or both
clients, or should either the City or the developers revoke their
representative consent to such dual representation at any time
during such representation, our firm would be required to
withdraw from the representation of both parties.
If the arrangement described above is acceptable to you,
please confirm your consent to our firm's dual representation of
the City and the developers by signing and dating the enclosed
copy of this letter and returning it to me for our files.
