P. MA DATE: OCTOBER .-'7, 1989 ---------------------- ------------------------------------------- As directed in the Cou cil meeting of October 17, 1989, I am submitting a proposal 'or the cr2aticrn of the position ~f Police Captain 1~ thsPolice epartment ana recommending the appointment of Sgt. Donald Beberg to "hat position. In p~'epa~'ing this P'r,.:.pcsal, I sU'r'veyed "nine c1t1es 11'1 the Star,tiorl e five group that were n ar our population. These Cities were; Prior ~aKe, Shakopee, MoundS 1ew, Haistings, RODblnsdale, Hopkins, Oakdale. Anoka and Woodbury. e results of the survey are as follows; All of them a position of Lt. or Capt. on their departments. This position was the second in command for the depat'tmer,t. Wages varied trom a low of 3.6~ over the Patrol Sergeant compensation to a high of 20.9~ over the Patrol Sergeant. The average w~s 11~ over the Patrol Sergeant. The total Stanton group five cities average was g~ over the Patrol Se"r'geayrt. In all ~ne sU'rveyed cities, the Lt. and/or Capt. was not a member of the bargaining unit. In all the surveyed cities, the Lt. and/or Capt. did not qualify for overtime. In all but one of the surveyed cities, the Lt. and/or Capt. did not receive longevity, it was built into the base wage. In all the surveyed cities, the Lt. and/or Capt. worked a five day wO"r'k eek with Sat. arId '3,-lY"I. arId a 11 ho 1 idays off. e 212 orth Fourth Street. Stillwater. Minnesota 55082 Police Phone: 612-439-1314 or 612-439-1336 Fire Phone: h1?-41Q-n1?O e e e None of the cities paid holiday pay, this was also built into the Lt. and/or Capt. wage so that the Sergeants did not make more money than the Lt. and/or Capt. Five of the the cities appointed the Lt. and/or Capt., the others promoted. I would like to propose the following regarding the position of Police Captain for the Police Department; That Sergeant Donald Beberg be appointed to the position. That he work a straight Monday through Friday schedule wlth weekends and holidays off unless special circumstances exist. That the following wage and benefit package be provided to him; a) Wage of 10% over the wage package of Patrol Sergeants including base wage at top patrol, longevity at the maximum step, holiday pay at Patrol Sergeant rate, and the Sergeants monthly spread. This would put Captain Beberg's monthly wage at $3,859.86 for the rest of 1989 and at $4,020.58 a mQ~ith fo~~ ~990. ....... . .. .. ~~'lS MO~~~t'lY, waga a month over the amounts to a difference of $365.50 wage of the Patrol Sergeant. It should be noted that there is an increase in the Sergeant's spread for 1990, estimated at $25.00 a month, factored into the Captai~i's waga package. Please ~lna the proposed Job description and employment agreement far the position of Police CaptaIn. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

STAFF REQUEST ITEM DEPA RTMENT ___-"_~~L!~~___________________ ~1EET I NG DATE 11-07 -89 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Briefly outline what the request is) !..:.. Enlarge the parking lot in front of the Police and Fire Departments garages ~ . e Currently the PD has to move cars.to get int%ut of the garage. This would move --------------------------------------------------------------------~ the parked squads ahead and out of the way of the door. By moving the parked 'squads ahead, there would be more room for the fire trucks to get out of their garage and more room for them when returning and backing into the garage. Their trucks are , --------------------------------------------------------------------- longer and harder to maneuver then when the current design was laid out. We propose cutting back the grassy area to the East of the Police parking area a total of 22 ft. This would be ample room to satisfy the needs of both de~artments parking problems. -----------------------------------------------------~--------------- P.W. Director Junker figures the bank could be cut back and terraced and there would not ----------------------------------------_._--------~------------------ , be a need for a wall of any type ahead of the squad parking area. There is a need for additional lighting where the squad cars are parked and we ask for -------------------------------~------------------------------------- !..:.. 1 additional light the same as was installed on the Fire Department to light up the -------------------------------------------------------------------- parking lot to the South of the Fire and Police Departments~ FINANCIAL IMPACT (Briefly outline the costs, if any, that are associated with this request and the proposed source of the funds needed to fund the request) Per Public Works Director Junker the total cost would be $2,000.00 maximum for the ---------------------------------------~----------------------------- parking lot change.

At this time I would like to continue this process by asking that these promotions be granted. pend~ng proper wage or contract negotiat~ons with Mr. Kriesel. These promotions will allow two more of the regulars to be placed ~n the incident command system at a high level. This is very important to us especially in day time response woen we are lacking command people. By March 1, 1990 we are required to have a incident command program fully in place and operational. (OSHA final rule) In the initial discussion of these promotions I asked for a Lieutenant and a Captain in the areas where their primary dut~es would be maintenance and inspection. After much study in this area I feel that both jobs should hold the title of Captain. The title of Lieutenant in this department is a replacement position when a Captain is not available. This is not what I had in mind for this position. At this time I would like both these pos1tions to be Captains. According to the people I have talked to these people can remain in bargaining group or removed from it iz the Council so desires. This will be no problem with the fire department.

This is the day and time for the public hearing to make a determination of visual conspicuousness (as viewed from the St. Croix River) of an addition/alternation of an existing single family residence located at 120 Lakeside Drive in the Riverway Bluffland/Shoreland Dist., Alan Rousseau, Applicant. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October 6, 1989 and sent to the affected property owners. e Mr. Russell presented pictures and a videotape taken of the Rousseau house from various points on the St. Croix River during the summer months. Jackie Marshall, a resident of Croixwood, stated all homes as viewed from the river look to be about the same degree of conspicuousness and doesn't view the Rousseau house as being conspicuous. She stated the Council could make better use of their time than studying this issue. Mayor Abrahamson advised Ms. Marshall that the Council has to hold this hearing to satisfy other governmental agencies. Steve Ordahl stated he viewed this house from the river and said he could not tell which house was the Rousseau's. Furthermore, there other structures which are more conspicuous, such as the Freighthouse. Molly Shodeen, representing the Dept. of Natural Resources, distributed pictures taken of the Rousseau residence from the river and on land. She stated the DNR position is that the house is visually conspicuous from the river, and they have concerns regarding the deck addition and shoreline grading. Dan McGuinness, representing the Minnesota/Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission, stated they feel the house is easily seen from the river. Jackie Marshall stated they have friends who come to Stillwater to view the beautiful homes on the river and feel this issue is not worth the time it is being awarded. Dennis Kluy stated the deck should be no problem because it was not built closer to the river than the original and the house is not conspicuous. Shelly Thompson, Croixwood, agrees that the house does not stand out in front of anything else. e 5 Stillwater City Council Minutes October 17, 1989 Regular Meeting - Alan Rousseau, owner f the house, stated someone made arbitrary rules at an earlier date -- si e does not dictate the beauty of a structure and this arbitrary rule t kes away the rights of others and is discriminatory.

Council commented tha this hearing is being held because of other governmental agency c ncerns, the intent is to protect the river from extreme deterioration the wild and scenic river designation was declared after the river was d vel oped, and the public has not complained about this structure. Some questions were asked about construction of the deck and the sand that was added to the beach. Mr. Rousseau stated he did not know he needed a perm t to add sand -- he used the type approved by the DNR. Councilmember Farrell stated the conspicuousness is a judgment call and he is not confident in j st viewing a tape -- perhaps it would be less conspicuous if viewed from the river. Motion by Councilmember K mble, seconded by Councilmember Opheim to determine that the alteration and e pansion of an existing single family residence located at 120 Lakeside D . in the Riverway Bluffland/Shoreland Dist., Allen Rousseau, Applicant, is v sually inconspicuous; and directing City Staff to 4It prepare findings of fact 0 be adopted at the Nov. 7, 1989 meeting.

ARCHITECTS. PLANNERS October 5, 1989 RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA PLANNING CASE REVIEW PLANNING CASE SUB-89-69 Mr. Steve Russell, Community Development Director City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mr. Russell: We have reviewed the above referenced planning case which is the Prime site addition located in the northeast corner of Curve Crest Boulevard and Washington Avenue in the Stillwater Industrial Park. This site is approximately 15 acres in area. The preliminary plan as submitted does not have a finished grading plan. We feel an overall preliminary grading plan should be submitted to provide verification of lot drainage between lots, etc. Lot 1 of the subdivision presently does not have access nor utili ty service. There is no indication on the plan of the intent of the developer to provide these services to Lot 1. Drainage and utility easements will also be required on all the lot lines. The developer is proposing to cut into both Curve Crest Boulevard and Washington Avenue to install a sewer and water service to Lot 6 and Lot 3. Since Lot 5 has two existing services it would be better for the City not to disturb Curve Crest Boulevard and rather for the developer to install a manhole on the sanitary service behind the curb and run a new service to Lot 6 easterly if the proposed development on each lot will not be a high water user. Also, the existing 8" water service could be extended easterly to Lot 6 to provide service thereby deleting the need to cut into Curve Crest Boulevard. However, the developer will need to assess the proposed water demand for both Lot 5 and Lot 6. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC.

Parking requirements are in two sections, one for the Industrial Park and another section for the residential and older portions of town. The existing Ordinance has different standards for the same use. Since the Ordinance was adopted, new uses have become popular, i.e. day care centers, convenience service stations, and drive-in food establishments. The new Ordfnance provides parking standards for the new uses and combines the two sections into one set of standards for the City. Other provisions of the Ordinance allow shared parking credits, cooperation parking allowance, and an option for a parking district for the Downtown. Parking lot standards, landscape requirements and loading are also included. The Planning Commission reviewed the Ordinance Amendment at their meeting of October 9, 1989 and recommend it for Council approval.

That hous s surround the Rousseau home on the south north sid and behind the home, and houseboats clutter in front and to the north and south of the Rousseau 5. That ther close to the Rousse the river since som home. are extensive shoreline vegetation and trees u home that partially obscure the view from of these trees are higher than the Rousseau 6. That the orne is of an earthtone color that blends with the adjacent surrou dings and is unobtrusive relative to the background. e 7. That people who view the structure from the river view it from a nt channel located some 2,000 feet away and that islands covere with dead trees and vegetation partially obscure views of the Rousseau home from that vantage point. 8. That the ackground to the Rousseau home and adjacent residential structures is a tree covered hill much higher than the homes. 9. That the ousseau home does not appear much taller than any adjacent struct re and no taller than two-story homes that are visible from the river but not located in the riverway district. 10. That full range of riverward locations from far north views of the Rousseau home are obscured much of the time by vegetation adjacent to the Rousseau home or vegetation covering the islands that interrupt the view of the Rousseau ho e from the channel. 11.

That the Rousseau home is essentially a two-story structure of the same design and character as most of the hundreds of other houses located within the City of Stillwater visible from the riverway. 15. That the testimony at the hearing reflected strong public sentiment that the Rousseau home and any appurtenant structures are visually inconspicuous and not noticeable.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the project is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, the development pattern of the area and the general community welfare.

MEMO-RANDUM TO: Mayor and city Council FR: city Coordinator DA: November 2, 1989 RE: SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY Accompanying this memo is a sexual harassment policy that is recommended by the Department of Human Rights. I believe the policy is straight forward and should be adopted. We have had preliminary discussion with Washington County to have county staff provide the training that will be necessary for our employees to administer, understand and to comply with the policy. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED, by the Ci y Council that the Policy and Procedures Manual dated November 1, 1988, is hereb amended to include a Sexual Harassment/Discrimination Policy attached hereto as Exhibit "A". Adopted by the City Council this 7th day of November, 1989. ATTEST: Mayor City C erk e e e Exhibit "A" e City of Stillwater Sexual Harassment/Discrimination Policy 1. Purpose statement The intent of this policy is to notify about and heighten employee awareness on the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace. The policy will address what qualifies as sexual harassment, whom to notify, grievance procedures, possible remedies and sources of appeal after judgement rendered on allegations; in cases of dissatisfaction. The overall purpose of this policy is to provide a work environment free of verbal or physical harassment based on sex, sexual orientation or any belief or attribute unrelated to job performance. These actions are meant to be consistent with the merit principles, meaning free of discriminatory practices and in accord with M.S. Subsection 43A.Ol, Subd. 2 (Precedence of merit principles and nondiscrimination) which makes removal and elimination of all forms of harassment a necessity. II. Sexual Harassment 1. Generally defined as: a. Unwelcome or unwanted sexual advances. This means patting, pinching, brushing up against, hugging, cornering, kissing, fondling or any other similar physical contact considered unacceptable by the other individual. - b. Requests or demands for sexual favors. This includes subtle or blatant expectations, pressures or requests for any type of sexual favor accompanied by an implied or stated promise of preferential treatment or negative consequence concerning one's employment status or conditions of employment. c. Verbal abuse or kidding that is sex-oriented and considered unacceptable by the other individual. This includes commenting about an individual's body or appearance where such comments go beyond mere courtesy, telling "dirty jokeslt that are clearly unwanted and considered offensive by others; or any other tasteless, sexually oriented comments, innuendoes or actions that offend others. d. Engaging in any type of sexually oriented conduct that would unreasonably interfere with another's work performance. This includes extending unwanted sexual attentions to someone that reduces personal productivity or time available for work at assigned tasks. e. Creating a work environment that is intimidating, hostile or offensive because of unwelcome or unwanted sexually oriented conversations, suggestions, requests, demands, physical contacts or attentions. e 2. Title VII Def nitions: Sexual harass ent is defined as a form of sexual discrimination under _ Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Guidelines on Discriminatio Because of Sex, Section 1604.11, Sexual Harassment, indicates: a. Harassm of Titl favors constit conduct conditi or reje basis f ( 3 ) suc interfe an int' nt on the basis of sex is a violation of Section 703 VII. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual nd other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature tes sexual harassment when (1) submission to such is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or n of an individual's employment; (2) Submission to, tion of, such conduct by an individual is used as the r employment decisions affecting such individual; or conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably ing with an individual's work performance or creating idating, hostile or offensive working environment. b. In det rmining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassm nt, the City will look at the record as a whole and at the otality of the circumstances, such as the nature of the se al advance and the context in which the alleged inciden s occurred. The determination of the legality of a particu ar action will be made from the facts, on a case-by- case ba is. Applyin general Title VII principles, an employer, employment agency, joint apprenticeship committee or labor organization (hereaf er collectively referred to as "employer") is respons ile for its acts and those of its agents and supervi ory employees with respect to sexual harassment regardl ss of whether the employer knew or should have known their 0 currence. The City will examine the circumstances of the par icular employment relationship and the job functions perform d by the individual in determining whether an individ al acts in either a supervisory or agent capacity. c. e d. With re pect to conduct between fellow employees, an employer is resp nsbile for acts of sexual harassment in the workplace where t e employer (or its agents or supervi~ory employees) knows 0 should have know of the conduct unless it can show that it took immediate and appropriate corrective action. An empl yer may also be responsible for acts of nonemployees, with r spect to sexual harassment or employees in the workpla e, where the employer (or its agents or supervisory employe s) knows or should have know of the conduct and fails to tak immediate and appropriate corrective action. In reviewi g these cases, the City will consider the extent of the emp oyer's control and any other legal responsibility which the em loyer may have with respect to the conduct of such nonempl yees. e. e f. Prevent' on is the best tool for the elimination of sexual harass nt. An employer should take all steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring, such as affirmatively . - raising the subj ect, expressing strong disapproval, developing' appropriate sanctions, informing employees of their right to raise and how to raise the issue of harassment under Title VII and developing methods to sensitize all concerned. g. other Related Practices - Where employment opportunities or benefits are granted because of an individual's submission to the employer's sexual advances or requests for sexual favors, the employer may be held liable for unlawful sex discrimination against other persons who were qualified for, but denied that employment opportunity or benefit. 3. Normal, courteous, mutually respectful, pleasant, noncoercive interactions between men and women that are acceptable to both parties are not considered to be sexual harassment. III. Supervisory Responsibility 1. Supervisors are required to deal swiftly and vigorously with persons harassing others. 2. An employee who engages in sexual harassment is subject to standard disciplinary procedures. 3. A supervisor who becomes aware of sexual harassment but fails to take immediate action against it will also be subject to disciplinary procedures. Failure to take prompt remedial action as a supervisor may be viewed under the law as the supervisor and employer condoning the behavior. - 4. Appropriate Corrective Actions for Supervisors: a. Sensitive handling is required for sexual harassment complaints. A person making such a complaint is often upset, even though the complaint could be a simple misunderstanding or misreading of behavior. Suggested plans of action: 1. Bring the matter to the alleged harasser's attention; obtain his/her side of the story without the complainant being present. 2. Bring both parties together and serve as a mediator to encourage them in understanding each other's behavior. Be thoughtful; since if this situation is not handled in a sensitive manner, bad feelings can develop. Often simply talking about the complaint will stop the unwelcome behavior. However, if the harassing behavior has been so blatant and demeaning that the complainant will not confront the harasser under any circumstances, the story must be verified by talking to other knowledgeable individuals. Questions to keep in mind in this regard might be: e a. Who did the offensive behavior? b. What was the offensive behavior? c. When did the offensive behavior occur? . Did it happen more than once? Where did the offensive behavior occur? What did the victim do in response to the behavior? _ Was there a witness? If so, what is the name(s)? What does the victim want done to remedy the situation? Are there any other relevant facts or data to be reported? Has the offender been involved in similar other incidents? 5. Impose progr ssive discipline as appropriate. The harasser can maintain a igh position in the organization but action against him/her must be applied just as vigorously as it would be against any other em loyee. 6. The City mus insure that no retaliation toward the complainant or persons who s pport the complainant occurs. Some supervisors, having been charged with harassment, might become vindictive when it comes to performa ce appraisals, recommendations for training and promotions, r other daily assignments. If any supervisory decision is made on th basis of a sexual harassment complaint, the City could be liable fo the supervisor's misconduct and will take appropriate disciplinary action. IV. Re Sexual H rassment 1. An employee harassed by person in re to consider ho believes that he/she is being or has been sexually supervisor, co-worker, elected official or any other ationship to employment with the City should be advised he following options: - a. Polite y but firmly confront whoever is doing the harassing. State ow you feel about his or her actions. Politely request the pe son cease harassing you because you feel intimidated, offend d or uncomfortable. If practical, having a witness with you fo this discussion. memorandum for your personal file that describes the t(s) of sexual harassment, a summary of your ation with the person you believe is harassing you and at person's reaction was when confronted. b. If you believe some adverse employment consequences may result from c nfronting the harasser, go to your supervisor or the City C ordinator. Either orally or in writing state specific detail of the sexually harassing behavior. c. If, af er what is considered to be a reasonable length of time (for e ample, 30 days), you believe inadequate action is being taken to resolve your complaint, the next step is to report the i cident to your department head, union steward or City Coordi ator. If you are still dissatisf ied, you may seek assist nce from the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. e e - e . 2. Confidentiality: Under the Minnesota Data Practices Act, all allegations and subsequent investigations shall remain "non-public"; all complaints and investigative materials will be contained in a file separate from the involved employees I personnel files. If disciplinary action does result from the investigation, the results of that disciplinary action will then become a part of the disciplined employee's personnel file and will become "public" under the Act. v.

Counselor is a department head, union steward, employee assistance coordinator or any other individual who is responsible for the informal counseling and resolution of a sexual harassment complaint.

This building is on the south side of the Chestnut Street stairs and on the north side of the stairs is a vacant lot owned by the City of Stillwater. The legal description of the city property is Lot 5, Block 23 original city and its' size is 50' wide and 150' deep. I would like to make an offer to purchase this city owned lot. The City of Stillwater has owned this lot since 1943 and over the last ten years has allowed some unrecorded construction use on the property which limits its future use. Specifically these are: (1) Northern States Power Co. pole in the middle of the lot. (2) Storm sewer from Del's Out- door Equipment that runs diagonally across the front of the lot. (3) Retain- ing wall to protect S.W. corner of Del's building on the north side of the lot. (4) Access ramp to rear balcony of Del's building across the middle of the lot. Also limiting the use of the land is that the back 50' is a very steep rising hill. My interest in this city property is to use it for off-street park- ing for the Arlington Apartments. I would propose to build retaining walls on the north and east side to level up the front half of the lot so it could accomodate from 10-13 cars. I offer to purchase this lot from the city for $10,000.00 and ask that you consider this offer as a way of returning this land to the tax rolls, improving the condition of this piece of land in the heart of town and as a way to help provide off-street parking. :~~~ /R"'PtJ~e:v' USE - L./Jr", 4~.11/ \.,.

The consideration to be paid therefore is to be the sum of Ten DOllars, ($10.00) in cash and in addition. the City is to release and discharge said Frank Schmidt from any and all claims against him arising out of his failure to clean up said property or to do anything else with respect thereto except what has allready been done to the same. And upon delivery by said Frank Schmidt of a quit claim deed to said premises to the City, duly approved by the City Attorney, the City Clerk is authorized and directed to issue his warrant on the City Treasurer for the sum of Ten Dollars, ($10.00) payable to said Frank ~chmidt. Passed April, 6, 1943. Fublished April, 7, 1943. Attest. ,~ Mayor City Clerk "\ e e e MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Wally Abrahamson Nile Kriesel.., Cj.J:y Coordinator Ci ty Council V FROM: David T. Magnuson, City Attorney DATE: November 3, 1989 RE: Kilty Offer to Purchase Lot 5, Block 23 Pursuant to Nile's request, I found that the City purchased the property that Kilty wants to buy in June of 1943. A copy of the Resolution of April 6, 1943, that authorized the purchase is enclosed in your packet. It appears that approximately 90 x 50 feet of the lot would be usable for Mr. Kilty. This amounts to approximately 4500 square feet. In view of the many appraisals that you have obtained within the last year in the downtown and the many comparables that you have already considered, it would seem that $3.25 a square foot would be an accurate price for the property provided that the title would be marketable. In this case, there are a number of factors that would lessen the value of the parcel. There is the matter of an undefined storm sewer easement constructed across the front of the property, the encroachment of the ramp connected to Del's Outdoor Equipment building, and furthermore, the condition of the title to the property that might require some work since it was obtained in 1943 by quit claim deed from the then owner. A suggestion would be that $10,000 would be a reasonable price for the property if Kilty would agree to accept a quit claim deed to the property subject to the City easement for storm sewer purposes and subject to a condition that it only be used for parking lot purposes. This approach would make the transfer of the property inexpensive for the City, derive revenue for the City, ensure that the property be used to lessen the parking problems in the area and finally, ensure the property's return to the taxrolls.

Mark Vierling, City Attorney for Lake St. Croix Beach, requested an opi ni on ,from the Attorney General's Off; ce and thei r interpretation is that a limited food handling establishment where only unwrapped bakery products, candies, canned or bottled beverages, nonperishable machine-dispensed beverages, or prepacked sandwiches, snacks or ice cream novelties which are heated, served or sold for consumption on the premises or immediate consumption off the premises does not meet the criteria for holding a Sunday liquor license. There are three such establishments in Stillwater -- John's Bar, Hidden Valley Lounge and the Elks Club. I am enclosing a copy of the City Ordinances covering this item and the letter from Mr. Vierling and the State Attorney Generalis Office. The City Attorney will offer an opinion on this item at Tuesday's meeting.

The bar in question is not known to be a restaurant; but, nonetheless, upon obtaining the license for limited food stablishment from Washington County, it indicates that it's serving food and, therefore, calling itself a restaurant, qual'fying for the Sunday Sale provisions under the statute. ~pparently, several establishments throughout our respective communi license from Washi have already quali for purposes of th list of those esta and a copy of an 0 General's Office g ies have obtained this particular type of food gton County and may, in fact, be attempting or ied themselves as a Sunday Sale establishment statute.

Stat. ~~ 340A.504, subd. 3 (1988). The technical answer to your question ~s no. The mere possession of a food handling l.cense does not in itself qualify an establishment as a " estaurant" which may be granted a Sunday liquor license. As ou indicate, the definitions of restaurant contained in Minn. Sat. 9 340A.I01, subd. 25 is in part as follows: "A 'restaur hotel, unde manager, wh to the gene capacity fo numbers: * nt' is an establishment other than a the control of a single proprietor or re meals are regularly served at tables al public, and having a seating guests in the following minimum * e N EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER .~...a"ct e e e Mr. Mark J. Vierling Page 2 Thus, in addition to the seating capacity and managerial requirements, it is necessary that, in the establishment, "meals are regularly served at tables to the general public." Deciding whether this requirement is actually met at a particular establishment obviously calls for factual determination by the licensing authority. Furthermore, the standard described by this language is somewhat imprecise and subject to reasonable interpretation by the licensing authority. For my own part, it seems clear that the mere fact that food products are available for sale and consumption on the premises is not sufficient. Minn. Stat. 9 340A.IOl, subd. 10, defines exclusive liquor store to include: "an on-sale . . . establishment which sells food for on-premise consumption when authorized by the municipality issuing the license. On the other hand, the definition of restaurant previously required that the "principal part of the business. . . (be) the serving of foods."l This element of the definition was eliminated in 1974. Minn. Laws 1974 ch. 196 9 1. Thus it appears that food service is not required to be the "principal" part of the business. Nonetheless, it would seem that the actual serving of meals at tables must be "regularly" done. Regular is defined to mean "customary, usual or normal." The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Ed. (Houghton, Mifflin Company 1985) at 1041. Therefore it is my view that the serving of meals at tables must be the customary usual or normal activity at the establishment. While I would not necessarily dispute that a "meal" could not be composed exclusively of the items which may be dispensed under the limited food handling license described, the occasional consumption of snacks or sandwiches by scattered patrons within the establishment would not meet the definition. 1 See Minn. Stat. 9 340.07, subd. 14 (1973), Op. Atty. Gen. 218-g-18, January 9, 1973. Mr. Mark J. Vierling Page Three While I hope th considerations of t establishment in qu be made by the lice KER:gpr se thoughts are of help in focusing the e city, the ultimate judgment on whether the stion is in fact a restaurant must in the end sing authority.

The applicant for the Sunday On Sale intoxicating liquor license is attempting to qualify as a restaurant, claiming to have a seating capacity for at least 30 persons. The establishment currently holds an On Sale intoxicating liquor license. Minnesota Statute 340A.lOl defines restaurants in Subdivision 25 thereof to read as follows: e "A 'restaurant' is an establishment other than a hotel, under the control of a single proprietor or manager, where meals are regularly served at tables to the general public, and having a seating capacity for guests in the following minimum numbers: * * * in the case of 'ClassGs Band C above, the governing body of a city or county may prescribe a higher minimum number. In fourth class cities and statutory cities under 10,000 population, minimum seating requirements are those prescribed by the governing body of the city." Mr. Kenneth Raschke Assistant Attorney eneral Page 2 September 26, 1989 e For purposes 0 City of Lake St. Cr requirement of 30 p not by ordinance restaurant. this fact situation, you may assume that the ix Beach has established a minimum seating rsons. You may also assume that the City has attempted to define what constitutes a The applicant for the Sunday On Sale intoxicating liquor license claims to b_ a restaurant by virtue of having obtained from the Washington County Public Health Department a "limited food establishment' license. Pursuant to Washington County's Food Protection Ordinance a limited "food establishment" license is defined as follo s: "Limited Food andling Establishment, shall mean a food establishment here the only food sold or offered for sale to the public is unwrapped bakery products or candies, canned or bottled beverages, nonperishable machine-dispensed beverages, or repacked sandwiches, snacks or ice cream novelties whic are heated, served or sold for consumption e on the premises or i~~ediate consumption off the premises. This definitio does not include the off-sale of liquor or similar bottle or canned beverages." The establishment in question does not have kitchen or kitchen facilitie. It does not provide place settings with eating utensils, me us; it does not have waiters or waitresses, nor is there any distinction or separation between the bar and seating area. What is sold the public by th2 establishment are prepackaged, prepre ared food items that are either microwaved or served cold, which can be eaten on or off the premises. The County, of course, has been delegated by the State to license restauran s and food handling establishments under Minnesota Statute 145A.05, Subdivison 1. Washington County provides four categories of food establishments, they being: C. itinerant food establishment; and ishment; A. food B. od vehicle; e D. limited fo d handling establishment e e e Mr. Kenneth Raschke Assistant Attorney General Page 3 September 26, 1989 all of which require a license. You may assume for the purposes of this presentation that the applicant has obtained a valid license from Washington County as a limited food handling establishment. We then ask substantially the fOllowing: QUESTION: DOES THE POSSESSION OF A "LIMITED FOOD ESTABLISHMENT" LICENSEr PROPERLY ISSUED BY THE COUNTY, AS HELD BY AN ESTABLISHMENT HOLDING AN ON SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE ENTITLE THAT FACILITY TO APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE A LICENSE FOR SUNDAY ON SALE INTOXICATING "LIQUOR LICENSE OR, ALTERNATIVELY, DOES THE HOLDING BY AN ESTABLISHMENT OF A LICENSE ISSUED BY THE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS A "LIMITED FOOD ESTABLISHMENT" LICENSE QUALIFY THE FACILITY AS A RESTAURANT AS PROVIDED IN MINNESOTA STATUTE 340A.504r SUBD. 3 AND 340A.lOlr SUBD. 25? I realize that the City of Lake St. Croix Beach, or any other s~atutory city, could probably adopt an ordinance providing for a more restrictive definition of restaurant than that which is currently provided within the statutes; but assuming that none is so adopted by the City, please direct your inquiry to the questions above referenced.

Fourth Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mayor Abrahamson: Senator Roger Moe forwarded to me a copy of your October 23, 1989 letter to him regarding the way the City of Stillwater was divided into two legislative districts during the redistricting process that followed the 1980 census. I currently chair a small committee of House and Senate members that was created to prepare for redistricting following the 1990 census. This committee has met regularly for more than a year now to consider miscellaneous issues that must be addressed during the redistricting process. One of the issues that has been discussed is the standards that will be followed when preparing a redis- tricting plan. One of the standards that has been discussed is keeping political subdivisions within a single legislative dis- trict. At this point in time, I cannot guarantee that no political subdi- visions will be split between two or more legislative districts when redistricting occurs, but I believe it is accurate to say that there is a general consensus that one of the goals during re- districting should be to keep political subdivisions within a single legislative district if at all possible.

ABRAHAr1S0ij HAYOR, CITY OF STILUV"ATER, HINNESOTA DEAR HAYOR ABRAEANSON: Hotivation for this letter lies in the receipt of the utility statement I received on or about 4 November 1989 and emanating from the city of Stillwater, Hinnesota. Hr. Hayor, this statement reflects a se\V"er charge of $39.00 and a refuse charge of $33.75 both of which are for the 4th quarter of 1989. While these charges may include discounts due to my age, these charges, in my opinion, are excessive. To the best of my knowledge and belief, about 6000 gallons are used by myself during each quarter. The refuse pickup is less than five gallons for one week. This means that the charge amount is roughly $3.00 for each refuse pickup --ex- tremely high! Now then, it is the oplnlon of our governing bodies that we can look forward to substantial increases in the items mentioned above plus still more in the form of electricity, income taxes, property taxesto include school costs, and many more. I admit that I am old! I admit that I hav~paid the taxes and assessments which I hav.e been confronted withl I admit that my income has gone down while my cost of living has increasedl I admit that I cannot perform today as \.vas the case twenty or more years agol I, also, admit that I participated as a combatant in both the European and Korean theaters of operationl e Apparently we elders have served a purpose and now that He are old, there is no further need for our being here except to pay exhorbitant taxes and other service charges. Then to turn our homes over to other local, state or federal agencies for their disposition. I could go on and on citing what I believe to be unfair and ruthless charges against the elderly and some others. But I will contain myself for the time being. However, I will say there is dmnned little consideration extended to those elderly people who were, and still are, the backbone of our community, state and country. Thus far, the philosophy of our governing bodies appears to be tlget all possible from the elderly and to hell with them after thattl. There is actually: no evidence which points to a decrease of our living expenses. Cordially submitted as an expression as to how lIas a citizen/view the present conditions.

KASKE e e November 1, 1989 Mayor Wally Abrahamson Stillwater City'Hall 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, ~~ 55082 Dear Mayor Abrahamson: This letter is to let you and the Stillwater City Council know of our concern over the fire-damaged church/apartment property at the corner of West Pine and South Fourth streets. As nearby property owners, we are most anxious to see something done with the building which we consider a safety hazard and an eyesore to our neighborhood and to the city as a whole. Our main safety concern is with motorist visibility at the intersection. The building greatly reduces the visibility of those stopped at the Pine Street stop sign. The overgrown shrubs and trees on the Fourth Street side compound the problem. In addition, the property makes it even more difficult for those of us south of Pine to back out onto Fourth Street, as already we must contend with excessive speed and "rolling stops" at that intersection. e Aside from other obvious safety and health problems that the fire-damaged property presents (a temptation for children playing, the possibility of falling debris, a breeding grounds for rodents, pigeons and other pests), the property's visual impact, especially on the many visitors who corne to this part of town, also disturbs us. We don't feel the decaying condition of such a visible piece of property or the delay in its cleanup leaves a very favorable impression on those such as Governor Perpich who was in. the area last Friday or even the many "trolley" patrons who receive an "up close and personal" view each time the trolley stops in front of the building. While we don't know at this point what power the city has over the property, we are simply asking you and the council to do whatever you can to facilitate the demolition and cleanup. And if there is anything area property owners can do to speed up the process, please do let us know. Thank you very much for your attention. Sincerely, Carol De\-Jolf ~~ {jJJ 4liU e 518 S. 4th St. Stillwater,}fr~ 55082 e City Council Members 10/31/89 We, the neighbors of the ex-church, ex-storage buildin~, ex- condominium, and now unsightly, fire-dama~ed nuisance at the corner of So.4th St. and West Pine st., have been reasonably patient with and tolerant of it over the years. However, now that it has no useful future we strongly urge you to take all action necessary to remove it. We will oppose any proposal to restore it, which would be unlikely. We will oppose any proposal to rebuild on that property which would require a like number and nature of variences granted to the restoration efforts of the original building. On the grounds that this building is a nuisance, a public e dan~er, is unkempt and a detriment to our real estate values, we request that it's case be discussed at the next possible council meeting.

First of all, as you will see, I have enclosed, a copy of the Municipal General Liability Declarations page from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) which affords liability coverage to the City. As you will see by the Endorsement GL0300 that we enclosed, the City was given the option of either purchasing this insurance with a deductible which would be applied per claim or per occurrence. As you can see the City chose to purchase the coverage with the deductible that applies per each claim. This coverage was purchased in this manner strictly at the City's option. When this deductible clause is applied to the particular claims in question, you will see that six of the eight claims fall below the City's deductible and therefore, the LMCIT would not be required to make any contribution to those settlements. The remaining two claims we had one by Mr. Dan Cunningham totalling $6,637.10 and one by Mr. & Mrs. Howard Jacoby totalling $7,472.92. Therefore, when combined, these two claim settlements would leave a total of $4,110.02 for the insurance company to afford coverage. This, however, presents a second problem. In reviewing the documentation involved in settling these claims it would appear that the City took no notice of either depreciation or betterment when reaching the settlements with the various claimants. In a situation such as this, it would be customary for the insurance company or whoever in fact has agreed to honor a liability claim to pay the claimant only actual cash value and there, again, only for 56542-07083 - 2 - 10-06-89 e items actuaLLy damaged by the insured party. In the instances of the Cunningham and Jacoby cLaims it is our opinion that had we been aLLowed to properLy evaLuate the cLaims, before any payment had been made, we wouLd have been abLe to properLy depreciate them down to a fair and reasonabLe doLLar amount which may weLL have faLLen beLow the City's $5,000.00 deductibLe but wouLd have in any case constituted Less of an expense than that which you are being asked to be reimbursed for. Keeping that in mind, as a means of an equitabLe soLution to the probLem, we wouLd be wiLLing to offer the City 50% or $2,055.01 of that amount which feLL over the City's deductibLe. In Light of our previous expLanation, we feeL that this is a fair and reasonabLe offer. LastLy, and perhaps most importantLy, we wouLd ask that in the future, when the City does not agree with the decision that we have made, that they contact us so that we can either offer an expLanation to them as to why a certain decision was made or perhaps even provide with additionaL information that may cause us to rethink our originaL decision. e PLease forward our offer of $2,055.01 to the City and we will await their response. If I can offer any further assistance or if the City would Like anything explained further, pLease feel free to contact me at 292-1234. Since~~,;~ I ~. Sm; th Adjuster GHS:kar EncL.

To fund programs needed to meet these goals, the SCORE legislation will raise an estimated 530 million during the remainder of the biennium (about 520 million per year) by ~ .' ,_,_,';i~~i<?I1~~Sll~tto ~,.nt sates tax;~ective ~ 1,ltb...,;1: 1990.~ About 75 percent of the revenue will be distributed to counties, and 25 percent will go to state agencies. Some of the state agency funding will be available to counties and private companies as grants and loans. How much money will each county receive? The Legislature has appropriated 522,281,000 to eounties and 57,687,000 to state agencies for fiscal years 1990-91. The Office of Waste Management (OWM) will distribute the funds to counties according to a formula based on population. Each county will receive a minimum of S82,500 (S27,500 the first year and S55,000 the second year). If revenue from the tax exceeds the projected total of 529,968,000, the excess. up to 55 million, will be distributed to county/state recipients using the same 75 percent!25 percent ratio. Excess revenue must be distributed so ~ ~ October 1989 SCORE Waste Reduction and Recycling Legislation Impact on Counties that each county receives at least 50 percent of the revenue generated in that county by the tax. If revenue falls short of the projected amount, 75 percent of the deficiency will be withheld from counties (although counties would still receive the 582,500 minimum). Each county must provide matching funds of 25 percent the amount received from the OWM. The SCORE legislation grants counties authority to use a special levy to raise matching funds. How will the money be collected? A county or other political subdivision must pay the tax if it provides or contracts for collection or dis osal seryt~es. (,.. t For citizens or businesses that haul their own waste to a solid waste disposal facility, the tax will apply to the disposal charge or tipping fee. For what purposes can the money be used? The money a county receives under the SCORE legislation may be spent only on solid waste management programs that: * reduce waste, recycle the maximum amount of solid waste technically feasible, develop markets for recycled materials, remove problem materials from the waste stream and develop proper disposal options. inform and educate the public about proper solid waste management practices, * * * * (continued on other side) * provide technical assistance tn p blic and private entities to ensure proper SOl.,.!. aste management, and * provide educational, technical, a d financial assistance to prevent litter. What must a county do to ceive SCORE legislation funding? Prior to receiving funds, a county m st create a separate account in its general fund to credit the money provided hv the SCORE legislation and set u accounting p'rocedures to make sure the money is spent only for the purposes listed above. In each following year, the county * have a solid waste management Ian in place that includes a recycling implementat on strategy and a household hazardous waste man gement plan, '" submit a report to the OWM b August 1 of each year detailing how the money w s spent and what results were achieved, and * show that 25 percent in local m tching funds will be spent for purposes listed above. What are counties required 0 do under the SCORE legislation?
