about the size of the sign. Mr. Fontaine stated the Planning Commission

approximately $99,991.00, are not included in MSA participation.
Construction bids will be received on August 31.
William Biessener, 306 No. 4th St., asked where the "No Parking" area
would be. He also asked if digging would go on in his backyard'on the
sewer and watermains. Mr. Moore replied they would be replacing the mains
in the center of the street.
Jim Jacobs, 503 W. Mulberry St., asked about the width of the road and
questioned why it should be widened. Mr. Moore stated we have to follow
state aid rules. Mr. Jacobs asked if the City will be contributing toward
the assessment. Mr. Kriesel explained this project had to be approved
before a new assessment policy is adopted and can't reply to Mr. Jacobs
question now. Mr. Jacobs also asked if his water service will come up to
his basement and Mr. Moore replied it will come up to the property line.
The assessment policy was further discussed and Mr. Moore stated Mulberry
Street was in the five~ear plan for reconstruction this year. Further
questions followed regarding the width of the street and the City's
assessment. Mr. Biessener asked if the City should be paying for the 30
ft. sewer main easement running through his backyard. Mr. Moore replied
no, because this is still Mr. Biessener's property, although the City
requires the easement for repairs.

PUBLIC HEARING
1. This is the day and time for the Public Hearing to
consider a possible change to an Election Ward System for the
election of Councilmembers in the City of Stillwater, (to be
implemented in 1992).
Mayor Abrahamson asked Jack Evert, Chairman of the Charter
Commission, to give background on the issue. Mr. Evert
explained that for the past year the Charter Commission has
studied the two systems, at-large and ward, and determined
that a recommendation should be made to change to the ward
system. He stated that the ward system would bring city
government closer to the people, and make campaigns easier
which would increase the number of people running for City
Council.
Mayor Abrahamson asked for comments from the audience. Sis
Casanova stated that the Council should make decisions for
the entire City, not just a ward.. She also is not in favor of
the Grandfather clause. She stated that the issue should go
to referendum, and the public should be further educated on
the issue. Nancy Putz, former Charter Commission member,
stated that the recommendation was thoroughly thought out by
the Commission.
Mayor Abrahamson closed the Public Hearing.
Councilmember Bodlovick asked for an explanation of the
Grandfathering clause. Mr. Evert explained that present
incumbents could run one time in a ward in which they do not
live. If the ward system was adopted, each councilperson
would be assigned to a ward, then allowed to run one time in
that ward. The grandfathering would be completed in 1996.

SMART DRIVE BRINE PUMP CONTROL
ENERGY ANALYSIS
Following is an energy analysis which aetails the estimated electrical and
refrigeration savings potential by installing a SMART DRIVE brine pump contre
The SMART DRIVE is designed to take advantage of the centrifugal pump
laws by varying the pump speed,flow and horsepower in response to the
actual heat load on the ice. In particular, as Hp varies with the cube of
the speed,a slight decrease in speed will result in a significant reduction
in horsepower. For example, reducing the speed (and flow) of the pump by 30%
results in a power savings of 66% !!!

Re: Policy O~ Use Of
Lowell Park Levee
Da: September 14, 19ge
The Stillwater Port Authority has asked the City to develop a policy
regarding the use of the Lowell Park levee, especially as it relates to
cc'mmer'ci al operat iCIl'IS. . Based on i l'lqui ries a'nd actual appl icat iClrls fc,"('
wharfage permits for the 1991 boating seaso~ (the City has already rec-
eived tvKI appl icat ic<l"IS for 1991 and I am avla'r'e of thi"ee more char-'terl
excursion boat operators that will probably be applying for permits next
year) there could be some problems in terms of activity. I would recomm-
el'ld that Steve Rl.lSSell be directed to meet lo'lith arid a!:"sis"t the Authoi"ity
e tCI develop a written policy for the use of the levee. As you k~ow Steve
helped develop the Dm'/rltolo'/rl PIal's al'ld the waterfrcll'lt y/as orle clf th~, area!:"
that Steve and the Downtown Plan Committee looked at. He would therefore
have a good knowledge base to start with.
I have talked to Steve about this matter and He is willing to assist the
Authority depending on workload and Council priorities.

Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of $1,350,000 General Obligation Capital Outlay
Bonds, Series 1990A
We respectfully request your consideration of our recommendations for the sale of the above
mentioned bonds. Proceeds of the capital outlay bonds will provide monies to finance land
purchases, equipment acquisitions and remodeling work for various departments within the
City. This financing will provide for projects approved for 1990 and 1991. The departments
and the amounts being funded are shown as follows:

City of Stillwater, Minnesota
September 11, 1990
e To the amounts authorized for the 1990 and 1991 projects has been added an allowance for
discount bidding and bond issuance costs. We have subtracted the estimated investment
earnings which will accrue primarily as a result of projects which will not be paid for until
1991, resulting in a net bond issue of $1 ,350,000.
The City has issued capital outlay bonds several times in the past. A program of financing
two years of capital outlay projects in one single bond issue has been utilized. This
approach reduces the costs of issuance and provides a sounder basis for long-range
planning. The Council has recently approved the 1990 and 1991 projects included in this
bond issue. We concur with this approach of combining two years of financing into a single
issue at this time,
Debt service levies captified to be made on the City's outstanding bonds have been
provided by the City. Those levies are shown in Appendix I, column 8. The principal of the
new bond issue has been deferred to provide minimal impact until the drop off of existing
debt service levies in 1995. This can be viewed in Appendix I, column 9. The first principal
payment will be made from the 1991 levy, payable on February 1, 1993 since the City has
already increased its debt service levy to accomodate a balloon payment on an existing
issue. The total number of levies involved with this bond issue is eight, starting with the 1990
levy which includes 15 months of interest for the period November 1, 1990 through
February 1, 1992,
e
We are recommending the bonds be dated November 1, 1990, and mature on February 1,
1993 through 1999. Bonds maturing in the years 1998 and 1999, representing $700,000 or
52% of the issue, are callable on February 1, 1997 without penalty, at the option of the City,
This will provide the City future flexibility if market conditions warrant a refinancing of the
issue. We do not anticipate the call provision will adversely affect the marketability of these
bonds,
A bond rating from Moody's will again be required. We do not anticipate any change in the
City's excellent "A" rating.
The bonds are subject to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which in certain instances, requires
rebate and reporting of any arbitrage earnings. There is an exception from the requirements
for "small issuers" who issue less than $5 million of tax-exempt bonds during the calendar
year. It is our understanding the City does not anticipate issuing more than $5 million of tax-
exempt bonds during 1990, and therefore can exempt itself from the rebate and reporting
requirements. Also, since the City will issue less than $10 million of tax-exempt bonds during
1990, it will declare these bonds "qualified bonds" under the Act, which enhances their
attractiveness to commercial bonds.
e
We are recommending the issue be offered for sale on Tuesday, October 16, with bids to be
received at 11:00 A.M. at our offices in Saint Paul, at which time they will be opened and
tabulated. We will present the bids to the Council at your meeting that same day at
7:00 P,M. for Council consideration. The proceeds of the issue will be available to the City in
early November.

will pay for the services of the registrar.
CUSIP NUMBERS

Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds, The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the

CITY OF STillWATER, MINNESOTA
GENERAL OBLIGATION CAPITAL OUTLAY BONDS, SERIES 1990A
Sealed bids for the Bonds will be received by the City Clerk or her designee on Tuesday,
October 16, 1990, until 11:00 A.M., Central Time, at the offices of SPRINGSTED Incorporated,
85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota, after which time they will be opened
and tabulated. Consideration for award of the Bonds will be by the City Council at 7:00 P.M.,
Central Time, of the same day.
DETAILS OF THE BONDS
e
The Bonds will be dated November 1, 1990, as the date of original issue, and will bear interest
payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 1991. Interest will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be rounded
pursuant to rules of the MSRB. The Bonds will be issued in the denomination of $5,000 each,
or in integral multiples thereof, as requested by the purchaser, and fully registered as to
principal and interest. Principal will be payable at the main corporate office of the registrar and
interest on each Bond will be payable by check or draft of the registrar mailed to the registered
holder thereof at the holder's address as it appears on the books of the registrar as of the
close of business on the 15th day of the immediately preceding month.
The Bonds will mature February 1 in the years and amounts as follows:
1993 $ 50,000
1994 $ 50,000
1995 $100,000
1996 $150,000
1997 $300,000
1998 $350,000
1999 $350,000
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 1997, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 1998. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part, at the option of
the City and in such order as the City shall determine and within a maturity by lot as selected
by the registrar. All prepayments shall be at a price of par and accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general Bonds of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and credit
and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. The proceeds will be used to finance
various capital outlay projects for 1990 and 1991.
TYPE OF BID
e
Bids shall be for not less than $1,330,000 and accrued interest on the total principal amount of
the Bonds, and shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check in the amount of
$13,500, payable to the order of the City. No bid will be considered for which said check has
not been received. The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will
be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the
purchaser fails to comply with the accepted bid, said amount will be retained by the City. No
bid can be withdrawn after the time set for receiving bids unless the meeting of the City
- i -
e
scheduled for award of the bids is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without
award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or 1/8 of
1 %. Rates must be in ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate
from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional bid will be accepted.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder offering the lowest dollar interest cost to be
determined by the deduction of the premium, if any, from, or the addition of any amount less
than par, to the total dollar interest on the Bonds from their date to their final scheduled
maturity. The City's computation of the total net dollar interest cost of each bid, in accordance
with customary practice, will be controlling. The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-
substantive informalities of any bid or of matters relating to the receipt of bids and award of the
Bonds, (ii) reject all bids without cause, and, (iii) reject any bid which the City determines to
have failed to comply with the terms herein.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City
will pay for the services of the registrar.
CUSIP NUMBERS
e
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be
subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Dorsey & Whitney of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, which opinion will be printed on the Bonds, and of customary closing
papers, including a no-litigation certificate. On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds
shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds which shall be received at the offices of the City
or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms
of payment for the Bonds shall have been made impossible by action of the City, or its agents,
the purchaser shall be liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by reasons of the
purchaser's non-compliance with said terms for payment.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly-final Official
Statement as required by Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For
copies of the Official Statement and the Official Bid Form or for any additional information prior
to sale, any prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted
Incorporated, 85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone
(612) 223-3000.
e The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 1502-12. By awarding the Bonds to any
- ii -
e
e
e
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting an Official Bid Form therefor, the City agrees
that, no more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without
cost to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 50
copies of the Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The City
designates the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded
as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each
Participating Underwriter. Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with
respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such
designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all Participating
Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such Participating
Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

DOWNTOWN STILLWATER ENTRY PLAN
P.lJD MANAGEME}ll. PROjJ]AM
During the public hearings on the Downtown Stillwater Capital Facilities
Program, some concerns were expressed regarding the proposed entryway
improvements.
The proposed improvements are both located at the southern boundary of
Downtown. They consist of bluff landscaping and lighting and new entry
signage. The purpose of the improvements was to highlight, through lighting,
the entry b1uff1ine and to provide a new sign for the new improved downtown.
The logo on the new sign is carried through on proposed informational signs.
The Downtown Action Committee felt additional study of the entryways is
appropriate to make sure the proposed improvements are consistent with the
existing natural features, visual resources, and historic downtown. The
Downtown Action Committee referred consideration of the entryways to the
Heritage Preservation Commission for additional study.
Scope of study:
It is recommended that all prominent entryways to Downtown be considered. This
includes South 95, North 95, Bridge (East) and Myrtle Street (West).
Timing:
The Entry Plan and Management Program should be completed by the Heritage
Preservation Commission for recommendation to the Downtown Action Committee by
November 1, 1990.
Work Program Elements:
Entryway Survey
Entryway Goals
Entryway P1 an
Design Guidelines
Implementation Program.

In Re: Application of Schwyzer
Dear Nile:
t
Charles Horn, of the firm of Faegre & Benson, asked if the city
would assist him in clearing a flaw in the title of certain
property owned by his client.
In 1966 the city conveyed a parcel of land to the Irving H.
Overman estate. The estate then conveyed to subsequent owners.
The flaw occurs because an estate is not an entity that can take
or hold title to real property.
Mr. Horn asks if the city would approve a corrected deed in form
attached to this letter. It is my recommendation that they tak~
this remedial action. Please place this on the agenda for the
next meeting, for consideration by the city council.
Yours very truly,

The City Council Members of
Stillwater, Minnesota
216 North Fourth street
Stillwater, MN. 55082
Dear Council Members:
A letter of explanation has recently been sent to the residents neighboring Lakeview
Memorial Hospital and St. Croix Valley Clinic regarding our overflow parking problem.
For your information, parking space wi 11 be added to the West of the bui ldings
providing an additional 54 parking spaces. This project is planned for early September
and should alleviate the residential parking currently taking place.
A concern was recently expressed regarding the added inconvenience of High School
student traffic along with the overflow parking on both sides of Everett Street. To
immediately address this a request to all employees of both Lakeview and St. Croix
Valley Clinic has been made to first utilize the Employee Parking lot, and if parking
on Everett is necessary, to park on only the one side of the street.
We have expressed our gratitude to these neighbors for patiently handling the
inconvenience and informed them of the addition to our parking lot. We also wish to
thank the City Officials who have needed to respond to some of their concerns.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the hospital.
Sincerely,
~r/&~

instrumental in establishing the Community Access Center ("Center") and
establishing operation of the community access channels.
10. On or about March 1, 1987, after a public search for a
permanent executive director, Plaintiff was hired as the Executive
Director of the Corporation.
11. During her term of employment as cable franchise
administrator of the Commission and executive director of the
Corporation, Plaintiff was employed concurrently in both positions as a
part-time employee for each.
12. During her term of employment with both the Commission and
Corporation, Plaintiff received several positive performance
evaluations. At no time prior to her termination did Plaintiff receive
a negative annual review and she was given yearly bonuses and/or salary
increases.

Chairperson Knutson and Vice-Chair Jaclyn Ulrich that Plaintiff was

3238.084 and the Ordinance requires that all cable systems provide
community access channels for the public benefit.
15. Under the terms of the Ordinance and the agreement between
the Commission and King Video, certain community access channels were
to be maintained as part of the cable communications system. King
Video, as franchise h lder, was to provide certain equipment and
financing for purposes of community access. The Corporation was
established by the Co mission to serve as an independent, non-profit
entity which would op rate the community access channels.
16. Beginning i February of 1989, serious difficulties began to
develop in the relati nship between the Corporation, Commission, and
King Video. Most of hese difficulties revolved around the role each
was to have in connec ion with the operation of the Center.
17. Prior to Fe ruary 21, 1989, the center staff had been under
the direction of the orporation. On or about February 21, 1989, King
Video began to actively direct the Center staff. Equipment purchased
with foundation grant and owned by the Corporation was being operated
by King Video employe their own purposes. Plaintiff believed
that King Video's ope of the Center was a direct violation of the
Corporation's duty to and manage the community and public
access channels, to r the citizens of the franchise area, and
to enact policies and procedures to assure community access to cable
television. made her objections to King Video's operation of
the Center known to t e Corporation and its Board Members by letter
dated March 7, 1989. A copy of said letter is attached as Exhibit "All
and incorporated herein.
e

e
18. After King Video's take-over of the Center, Plaintiff
undertook an investigation of the legalities of a for-profit
corporation's use of the equipment and funds of a non-profit
corporation. By memo dated March 28, 1989, Plaintiff informed the
Board of her belief that the actions of King Video were placing the
Corporation in violation of state law. (A copy of said memo is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein).
19. In early April of 1989, the Center newsletter was prepared by
King Video employees but was to be mailed under the Corporation's name
and logo. Defendant James Francis, Chairperson of the Corporation,
directed Plaintiff to write a check to cover the cost of mailing the
newsletters under the Corporation's non-profit bulk mail permit.
Plaintiff made inquiries to the post office and was informed that a
commercial company may not legally use a non-profit bulk mail permit.
By memorandum dated April 4, 1989, Plaintiff informed the Board Members
of her refusal to violate the law and cooperate in King Video's use of
the Corporation's non-profit bulk mail permit. A copy of said
memorandum is .attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein.
20. In early 1989, the Commission was to approve the
Corporation's budget and provide financing for the upcoming fiscal
year. On February 15, 1989, the Commission met and discussed the
financing for the Corporation for the upcoming fiscal year. The
Commission, lead by Defendant Knutson and the Commission Members,
decided to withhold funds and threatened to dissolve the Corporation
unless Anne Davis was terminated as Executive Director. The Board was
then informed by the Commission and Defendant Knutson that the
Corporation would receive no funding for the year unless Anne Davis was
e
e
- 5 -
terminated from h r position as Executive Director of the Corporation.
The Board discuss this threat at an executive session on February 16,
1989. A copy of he minutes of said meeting are attached hereto as
Exhibit "0" and i corporated herein.
21. In late 1988 and early 1989 the Commission, the Corporation
and King Video be an to discuss the possibility of passing through
funding for the 0 eration of the Center from King Video directly to the
Corporation. Thi "flow-through" method of financing would be
advantageous to t e Corporation in that it would provide the
Corporation with ore direct access to and control over its financing.
22. By lett r dated February 15, 1989, King Video informed the
Commission that i would not agree to implement the flow-through
financing in ligh of what it claimed as "mismanagement" at the
Center. King Vid that it might consider such a financing
method in the fut re, when the Center was, "fu'nctioning productively in
a positive- enviro Said letter is attached hereto as Exhibit liE"
and incorporated erein.
23. On info and belief, King Video refused to negotiate
flow-through fina cing of the Center because it wanted Plaintiff
discharged from h r position as Executive Director of the Corporation.
Plaintiff was str ngly opposed to the involvement of a commercial cable
company in communlty access, since such involvement generally leads to
decreased public articipation in community access and underminds the
true purposes and goals of community access. King Video viewed
Plaintiff as a th eat to its control over the Center, and used
flow-through funding as a tool to secure her discharge.

receiving a monthly salary of $960.50 per month from the Corporation.
A copy of the minutes of said meeting are attached hereto as Exhibit
"F" and incorporated herein.
25. Plaintiff has been unemployed since April 12, 1989. She has
diligently sought other employment in the public sector field of cable
communications but has been unable to secure employment. Plaintiff has

actions.

March 7, 1989
Chairperson and Members of the Corporation
Board of Directors
As executive director of the corporation, with this letter I
advise you on the following matters regarding turning over
control of the premises, equipment and post office box to
another party:
Liability in the use of the space, ie: Community Access Center,
The Corporation's insurance does not cover cable company actions
in the Community Access Center; the Corporation is not relieved
of liability in any accidents, theft, fire, etc. r recommend
against this proposed action. If you proceed, at a minimum,
the Corporation must obtain a certificate of insurance from the
other party naming the Corporation as also insurancec and
indeminifing the Corporation.
Corporation equipment purchased with Foundation grant monies.
Foundations only award grants to SOl(c)(3) organizations. If
the Corporation allows a commercial venture to manage the
equipment, this action may be contrary to the intent of the
award. Such an action would most certainly jeopardize the grant
applications before Foundations currently. Certainly monies in
the Corporation's accounts should be returned. I believe the
same principle applies to donations of office furniture.
Corporation-managed equipment. The Corporation manages equipment
owned by other parties. The corporation mu~t received writ~n
permission authorizing the Corporation to permit another party
to manage equipment which belongs to other organizations. Examples:
Lower St. Croix Valley Joint Cable Communications Commission
AG 160 camcorder, PZM microphone, and tripod; Central st. Croix
Valley Joint Cable Communications commission and City of Stillwater
D-SOIO camera, six PZM microphones, tripod, microphone stands,
sound barriers, cables, connectors, etc.
I advise against permiting another party to manage the equipment
whic~ belo~gs to the Corporation and to other parties.
Key to the mail box. Concern: the Corporation receives mail
which may contain important documents, information and checKs
_EXH1.Bll A

which are addressed to the Corporation. Persons not familiar
with Corporation business may not recognize the importance of
the individual pieces of mail. I advise against allowing another
party to have a key to the mail box. There are several empty
post boxes, the former cable commission box, as an example. If
you proceed with this proposed action, I recommend the other
party have a separate mail box.
To recapitulate, as Corporation executive director, I advise
against the proposed action due to the many concerns raised in
this letter. If you proceed with the contemplated plan, I do
not accept any responsibility for the Corporation's actions,
either by the board or. by the Chairperson or other officers taken
in between the board meetings.
The corporation has legal liabilities, and obligations with regards
relinquishing your charge as the promoter and encourager of
the pUblic's use of t e public's use of the community access
channels, as the operator and manager of community access in the
Valley. I am not an attorney. I cannot draft a legal statement
with regards to liability. I have contacted Mike Sokol and
discussed this with him. He will prepare the document in time
for the board meeting on the 16th.
Apparently, the corporation has no future, so I have not made
any arrangements for a retreat for Tuesday, March 14th.
Laurie Maher, Corporation secretary, has offered to take the
minutes at the meetin on the 16th. She is in the office Mondays
and Wednesdays from 12 noon to five pm, if you wish to have any
meeting materials prepared, or correspondence prepared following
the meeting, please contact her at 430-0074, during those times.
Someone should be in attendence at the Joint Cable Commission
meeting on the 15th.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
CORPORATION ASSETS
'-
It is my position, after speaking with the State Attorney
General's office (Charities Division) on'Monday, March 27,
that the Corporation may not divert its assets to use by a
commercial company, that is, its furnishings, equipment or
funding. The Attorney General staff person I spoke with
strongly urged me to call the Corporation's attorney to have
him review Minnesota Statutes Chapter 317, Non-Profit Corporations,
for his legal opinion. This I have done. Mike Sokol will issue
a memorandum prior to the next regular board meeting on the
subject.
In the meantime, it appears the many activities the Corporation
is engaged in with the cable company employees is illegal and
is placing the Corporation in jeopardy of being terminated by
the State Attorney General. I believe,. as one example, the
joint newsletter, is out of the question, as it would be in
violation of state statutes.

Mr. Mike Knutson
Chairman
Central St. Croix Valley
Cable Communications Commission
1941 So. Greeley Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mike,
\
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with members of the Central
I
St. Croix Valley Joint Cable Communications Commission and
members of the Access C~rporation. I appreciate the chance to
discuss issues related to the operation of Community Programming
which affect the Commission, the Corporation,\ King Videocable,
and cable television customers in the' Central St. Croix Valley
area.
As you will recall from our discussions during the transfer _
process, King Videocable has experience in, "and a tradition of,
providing Local Programming services in communities served by
their other catlle television systems. The evolution of a "co-
management" relationship in the Central St. Croix Valley area
between the cable operator, the Access Corporation, and the Cable
Commission, is a new situation for King Videocable.
This situation apparently began with a letter that Mr. Byron
Wurtz from TDS had written the Commission explaining his feelings
regard~ng the operation of Community Programming. We have read
Mr. Wurtz' letter and have discussed the matter with him
directly. He has assured us that he never envisioned the type of
"hands off" relationship currently in effect.
We are all aware of the problems caused by the current operating
environment. King Videocable employees have been told they
should have no contact with our office for even the most routine
matters. We have been told that authority to hire, promote,
discipline, and terminate employees at the Access Center is the
responsibility of the Access Corporation's Executive Director
rather than King's, as the cable 0perator.
The problems however, seem to go beyond even
reporting structure which has evolved since Mr.
letter. There seems to be substantial problems
management at the Access Center.

.To that end, we are prepared to take the following actions:
1) As I mentioned in my letter to Jim Francis on January
31, 1989, Roy Lalime has been appointed Community
Access Coordinator effective Tuesday, February 21st.
As Community Access Coordinator, Roy will report
directly to me.
All King Videocable sta~f at the Access Center will
report directly to Roy. We are in the process of
revising the job descriptions for each position and
will forward that information to the Commission as soon
as it"is available.
2)
Roy after consultation with me, will have
responsibility over all purchase orders, invoices,
hiring of employees, termination of employees,
promotion of employees, and discipline of employees.
All employee time sheets must be approved by Roy prior
to issuance of payroll checks.
Roy and I will meet weekly to discuss programming
activities. The quarter and half-time employees will
be invited along with Roy to our monthly company
employee meetings. Attendance at these meetings is
optional for quarter and half-time employees.
" 3)
When the current studio lease expires in June, King
Videocable will attempt to enter into a lease agreement
directly with Washington County for studio and office
space. If it is not possible to come to terms on a
studio lease at that time, an alternative studio
location will be sought.
We are not eager to take the steps which I have outlined above.
We do so only in light of the mis-management which has been
brought to our attention. Perhaps at a future date, when the
Access Center is functioning productively in a positive
environment, it may be possiole to sit down and discuss re-
directing the responsibility for Community Programming in the
Central St. Croix Valley area.
Mr. Mike Knutson
Fe bruary 15, 1989

I look forward to "meeting with you, the other members of the
Commission, anu the A cess Boaru to discuss this matter further.
If you have any ques ions about this or other matters, please do
oot hesit le to contact Ine directly.
