Director Russell Recording Secretary Schaubach Others: Tom Thueson Press: Julie Kink, The Courier Mike Marsnik, Stillwater Gazette POSSIBLE PURCHASE OF GLACIER PARK PROPERTY Community Development Director Russell reported on the negotiations with the Glacier Park Company regarding the purchase of 6.2 acres of land in Downtown Stillwater. Mr. Russell stated that the City received a matching grant from the State Outdoor Recreation Program for $200,000 which has been set aside specifically to purchase Mulberry Point. Mr. Russell reported that the appraisal done for the City valued the property at $1,275,300. Glacier Park is asking $1,100,300 for the property. Cub currently leases property from Glacier Park and would be willing to sign a long-term lease for the property from the City. Finance Director Deblon reported on possible financing of the purchase. The City could possibly sell a $650,000 taxable bond issue which could be supported by the lease payments by Cub. Another $200,000 is available from the State grant, which the City must match. The last capital outlay bond issue sold included $480,000 for land purchase. $300,000 of that money is earmarked for a new Armory. If the Armory is not built for several years, there may be TIF money available to purchase the land for the Armory. There would be a balance of $230,000 available for purchase of the Armory site. City Attorney Magnuson reported on the Elmer Lowell Trust which can be used only to expand Lowell Park. The principal amount of the trust is $120,000 and the City earns approximately $13,000 annually from the fund which would be lost.

Box 6 14900 North 61st Street Stillwater MN 55082 Dear Mr. Ryan: The City of Stillwater Downtown Plan Action Committee is responsible for overseeing the growth and improvement of Downtown Stillwater. For the past three years, the Minnesota Zephyr has operated out of the Downtown from a North Main Street location leased from the City. The train operation adds to the vi tal i ty and i nteres t of the North Main Street area. e The train owner has City approval to construct an .$800,000 depot facility and museum. The project is consistent with the City.s plans for the Downtown. The design of the depot is consistent with the Stillwater historic charm. In addition to being a compatible use in the Downtown, the Minnesota Zephyr and Minnesota Transportation Museum__ attracts 60,000 visitors a year to the Downtown area and employs sixty people. This represents a significant benefit to the City and Downtown. The City Downtown Plan Action Committee feels these important benefits to the Stillwater community should be a part of consideration of the use of the railroad lines. Sincerely, Wally Milbrandt Chairman Downtown Plan Action Committee WM/sm e CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 " e ~ Y~~i~~~o1ull~?f!~~e~p~~i~:S~~~~' March 5, 1991 Mayor and City Council City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Members of Stillwater City Council: Attached is Vinland National Center's application for a premise permit to conduct charitable gambling at Trumps Deluxe Grill and Bar in Stillwater. Vinland is anon-profit rehabilitation.agency that challenges and supports adults and children with disabilities to reach their full potential. Vinland programs are highly individualized and influence the total person with services promoting vocational, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. e Vinland serves over 3,000 people annually, approximately 30% from the eastern metro area, through residential and community-based programs as well as professional education. Vinland provides: o innovative vocational rehabilitation services o specialized chemical health services o community-based youth and family programs o adaptive recreational activities With the current budget cuts at the state and local level it has become necessary for Vinland to seek out additional revenue sources so that we can continue to offer our s.ervices to as many people as possible. A few weeks ago Scott Zahran, owner of Trumps, contacted Vinland after receiving information about our programs and our desire to expand our charitable gambling operations. After meeting with Scott on February 13, it was decided that a pull tab operation at Trumps could be beneficial to both parties. Please review this application and contact me if you would like any further information about Vinland, its programs or our charitable gambling operation. e Sincerely, . ~9.;5-~~ Business Manager Lake Independence - P.O.

I obtained copies of the Minneapolis City Code that deals with charitable gambling and sets up the ten percent requirement. As you can see, this ten percent is in addition to the three percent tax imposed by the City. The contribution is made for the benefit of the Minneapolis Family Fund as defined in the Ordinance. You will also note that since Minneapolis requires a three percent tax, it requires a tax return to be filed on a monthly basis and therefore provides a ready and easy way to monitor the ten percent requirement. We must decide several things before we can effectively draw up the regulations. First of all, should a tax return be filed, and if so, should it be monthly, quarterly or yearly? Next, should we require a three percent tax in addition to the ten percent contribution for local lawful purposes? Also, who should administer the fund, Nile, Diane or Mary Lou? And, perhaps most important, how will the fund be used? It seems to me that these are all decisions for the Council, blJt I am sure the staff would be happy to make suggestions. e The limitation on th~ expenditure of these funds is that it be used only for a "lawful purpose." I enclose two pages from the Minnesota statutes that define lawful purpose. As you can see, there is a wide vari~ty of allowable distributions of this money. I await your directibn before going further. DTM/cs cc: Wally Abrahamsdn Stillwater City Council Diane Deblon Mary Lou Johnson Enclosures Yours very truly, ~ David T. Magnuson ~. ..

PLANNERS 3535 VADNAIS CENTER DRIVE, 5[ PAUL, MINNESOTA 55110 612490-2000 December 26, 1990 RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA CITY ENGINEER HUDSON STREET SEH FILE NO: 89114 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Council Members: e The City Council asked the City Engineer to review a request for paving Hudson Street east of South Sixth Avenue, with the Public Works Director. The City Engineer was to report back to the Council. This review was requested after the Council received a letter from Mr. Peter Furseth at 809 Sixth Avenue South. Since the property at 809 Sixth Avenue South is lower than the street, any drainage on the north side of Hudson Street will wash down the driveway and across the yard area. There is an existing catch basin on the south side of Hudson Street which drains to the storm sewer system in Sixth Avenue South. This catch basin has been partially blocked with wood appareptly by residents on the street. We would recommend that a catch basin and short length of pipe be constructed on the north side of Hudson Street west of the driveway entrance to house number 809. This work could be accomplished by City public works personnel. The catch basin on the south side of Hudson Street also serves as the bottom step for a set of stairs that comes down the bank from a house on parcel 8480. The property on the south side of Hudson Street is above the street surfacing. At one time there was a rail on the north edge of the existing catch basin serving as a stoop for the stairway allowing people to step off the concrete structure to the west. We would recommend that this ornate rail be replaced by public works personnel. The railing supports can be fastened into . the concrete cover of the catch basin for sturdiness so the boards that were placed in the catch basin opening on Hudson Street could be removed and the full opening of the catch basin utilized for drainage. e SHORT EWOTT HENDRICKSON lNe 5T PAUL, MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA FALLS, WISCONSIN ..;, ~ City of Stillwater December 26, 1990 Page #2 e It is proposed that public works personnel also regrade Hudson Street to direct runoff into the new catch basin constructed west of the driveway to house number 809 and into the existing catch basin on the sout~ side of Hudson Street.' Public works personnel would also place the aggregate base required on the street prior to paving. I We estimate the cost of the additional storm sewer and revisions to the existing catch basin to be approximately $600 for materials. There may be some additional costs such as backhoe rental. The Public Works Director obtained an estimate from Tower Asphalt to do the paving in 1990 of $1,800. This did not include the installation of a bituminous berm on the north side of the street to keep wa~er from running onto lower property. If the total cost quoted by Towe~ Asphalt remains the same in 1991, we estimate it would cost approximately another $200 for the berm, or a total I of $2,000. The public works personnel can salvage the exis~ing gravel before doing any grading. We estimate there ma~ be some additional Class 5 required to provide ~ the proper foundation for paving. We estimate the cost of the ~ additional Class 5 to be approximately $295. The total estimate would be $2,895. I According to past I City policy, all the residents on -the street have agreed to ~ay for the project cost and would then be assessed according~y.However, in the case of Hudson Street, not all the property ~wners have signed the request, or have agreed to the need for paving the street. However, it is a drainage problem for the qwners at house number 809 Sixth Avenue South because of their (elevation below the road. This property has been developed fpr a number of years and the grades were established many Iyears ago by previous city engineers and/or I public works per~o~nel. Because of the terrain and the proximity of the bluff line,i etc., it was probably difficult at the time to change the adjacen~ property grades. At this time, however, with I an improved conc~ete driveway, it appears that drainage and washing of gravel~ etc., onto the lower property is a problem. By improving the sFreet and constructing a bituminous berm on the north side, the water can be channeled so less runoff is directed onto developed property. Also the installation of an additional catch basin on the north side would enhance the drainage considerably. I 1 We have included I a map indicating the project location and Drawing No. 2 indi~ating the proposed improvements. e e e e '" .~..

The garage is located one foot seven inches from the front property line and sixteen feet seven inches from the edge of Harriet Street. The existing garage is non-conforming regarding street setback (thirty feet required). The request is to add a second story for a family room. The reason for the request is indicated in the attached letter. Earlier this year a variance was granted for the swimming pool in the front yard. The Zoning Ordinance limits the height of garages and accessory structures to one story and does not allow its use for habitation (family room). A variance is being requested to the street setback requirement for a second story and to use the space for habitation or living. If approved, it is recommended that a condition be recorded on the property prohibiting the installation of plumbing facilities not allowing use of the space as a separate living unit. RECOMMENDATION: Denial. ATTACHMENT: Application and plans. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval with condition. CONDITION OF APPROVAL: 1. The structure shall be used as a pl ay room or storage room only witrl no water or sewer service. .

Comments: (U~e other sica). '. I ,,' . e ------------------------------------------------------------------ '. e e e November 2, 1990 Ci ty of Stillwater: The reasons for adding on to our garage are twofold: Vie would like to add a recreation room without changing the structure of our home. Our house was built in the 1880s and we would like to preserve the original structure. Since the house does not include a full basement or attic, we do not have a family room for ourselves and our children. By adding on to the garage instead, we could leave the original house unchanged. The second reason is cosmetic. Our three car garage is modern looking with a low ceiling and does not match the Victorian look of our house. By raising the roof and adding dormers, we could better match up the garage to look like the original house. We think this would certainly add to the beauty of our home and the neighborhood in general.

KRIESEL, CITY COORDINATOR MARCH 13, 1991 APPOINTING TOM LAMMERS AS HONORARY MEMBER OF PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION. I have reviewed the action of the Park and Recreation Commission whereby they made Mr. Lammers an honorary member with voting rights. This does not appear to be consistent with the City Ordinance establishing the Park and Recreation Board. Therefore, it is my opinion that, although Mr. Lammers can be an honorary member, I do not believe that he would be allowed to have voting rights. NLK/mlj Attachments stillwater Park and Recreation Board February 26, 1991 e Mr. Wohlers reported that the restrooms are being cleaned more often and are in fair condition. Mr. Thomsen reported that the building inspector has informed him that if any structural changes are made to the restrooms, it would then have to be made handicapped accesslble. He also stated that new partitions are needed. , I There was discussioh regarding a part-time employee at the Arena and the possibility! of raising his present $6.00 per hour salary. This led to discuss!on with Mr. Funke of the City's objective to reduce comp time fo~ exempt employee3. It was 3ugge3ted that if an a3sistant manag~r was hired for the arena, Mr. Bielenberg's need for comp time ~ould be reduced. Dick Blekum made a motion that the Park and Recreation Board recommend that the ~ity Council employ Scott Schmidt as assistant manager at the Arena, and to authorize Tim Thomsen and Bob Bielenberg to prepare a proposal for the City Council with figures indicating now this action would eliminate the manager's comp time and howl it would save on part-time salar ies. Steve Joyce seconded. Mot~on carried. Tim will have a proposal prepared by March 12. indicated his willingness to testify to the regarding this recommendation. Mr. Blekum also City Council e There was discussion regarding the lights for the outside of the Arena. The budget request for this item was for $5,000, but only 1 $2,500 was approvedl.

A recommendation was made by Dave to increase visibility of parking enforcement to eliminate increase ticketing of first, second and third offenses and have straight ticketing. This should eliminate much time spent for officers checking on computers as to how many tickets a person has received. e The recommendation was voted on and passed by 100%. We would like the council to consider the same. Our task force is in agreement that more visibility of enforcement is greatly needed. Hopefully, a part time enforcement officer could be hired in the future to off set days when the present officer is on vacation, ill or days when not working. We also approved signage for loading zones, handicap and 30 minute parking areas which was presented by Steve Russell. e ------ e e - RESOLUTION NO. 8325 RESOLUTION SETTING PARKING TICKET FINES, PARKING ZONES AND PARKING PERMIT FEES WHEREAS, Stillwater City Code Section 51.02, Subd. 1, Subsection 5 authorizes the Stillwater Council to set fines for parking violations by resolution and, WHEREAS, the Council has determined that repeat violations by the same offenders should be addressed in the fine structure, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL, that parking ticket fines shall be as follows: 1. That the zones and districts described on the attached Exhibit "A" are hereby adopted, 2. $5.00 for any violation which was not preceded by another parking violation within the City in the prior 90 days; 3. $10.00 for any violation preceded by one parking violation in the prior 90 days; 4. $30.00 for any parking violation preceded by two or more parking violations within the prior 90 days. 5.

In addition to Armory Committee members, three members of the State National Guard accompanied Major Shields. The State Guard representatives gave the Committee a status report on new armory construction in the State and indicated a new Stillwater Armory may be possible in two to three years based on available funds. The Committee reviewed an offer made by Neil Skinner for Outlot A, Parcel I, an 8.6 acre site in the Stillwater Industrial Park (see map). Terms of the offer include a $378,062.00 selling price, $25,000.00'earnest money deposit by March 29, 1991, $87,000 owner contribution toward new armory/communi ty center. (Net sales cost = asking price - contribution) $291,062.00. The City appraisal for the site determined a $348,000 value for the 8.6 acre parcel. The Armory Committee reviewed the site suitability with National Guard representatives. They felt the site was excellent because of its ease of access and location in an Industrial Park. The State representatives indicated it is important to get soil tests of the site and receive official State approval before purchasing the land. The Committee felt those conditions could be a part of the offer to purchase the site. After further discussion, the Committee recommended to the Council to purchase the 8.6 acre site with conditions regarding soils conditions and State armory site approved. RECOMMENDATION; Direct the City Attorney to prepare an agreement for purchase of the 8.6 acre site for a net cost of $291,062.00 with conditions regarding soil testing and State site approval and authorize the Mayor to sign such an agreement. ~ ATTACHMENTS CITY HAll: 216 NORTH FOURTH STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 I./I.r I..., k"( 47.7 -I IP-I 4 --- ~ --- "Ha 8 \ : \----- \.. ,/f ' .

Attached to this memo are the calculations used in this review. I have also attached a listing of the various projects currently being pursued by the City. Analysis The factors ralslng concerns about TIF Revenue have been analyzed with these results: The high delinquency rate for TIF revenue has been reduced to a low 2 percent delinquency rate for 1990 (payable 1990 city delinquency tax rate is 3.43%). Further analysis showed that the delinquency rate for 1989 without the River Heights and Woodland Lakes parcels was about 8 percent. River Heights and Woodland Lakes were both repossessed by the lenders in 1990 with all delinquent and current taxes paid in full. Also, there were abatements of taxes for both River Heights and Woodland Lakes in 1989 and 1990. The reduced values are reflected in the Payable 1991 Tax Revenue. Therefore, it does not appear that there would be further significant reductions in assessed value and consequently TIF revenue for payable 1991 and beyond. To be conservative in future revenue projections, the following deductions were made from TIF revenue, where applicable: 1. Delinquency rate of 10% (currently @ 2%) 2. Fiscal disparity reduction of 33%. 3. Payment to school district for bond levies. 4. No increase in TIF revenues due to inflation adjustments. Conclusion After making the various deductions from TIF revenue, it appears that a minimum of approximately $500,000 per year is available to support a TIF Bond. The maximum TIF available is over $850,000fyear after the year 2003. The TIF districts continue out to the year 2011. I believe that $500,000/year would support a $5 million TIF Bond (20 years @ 7%). Ron Langness will be able to give a more accurate debt service schedule to match the available revenue. It is likely that if a bond issue were tailored to all e e e ~ available TIF revenue, a bond issue of 7 or 8 million could be supported. It may be in the best interest of the City to sell a larger bond issue at this time because of low interest rates. (City Council could authorize only spending $5 million at this time.) The remainder could be reserved for construction of a parking ramp in 1993. (Pending review of TIF revenue at that time.) Mr. Langness is currently on vacation, but will return on Monday, March 18, 1991. I will contact him on Monday for possible debt schedules to be available at Tuesday's meeting. Also, you will note on the project listing that the CUB land purchase has been included as part of TIF financing. TIF revenue is restricted as to use and the CUB land qualifies for use of TIF. The City would still receive estimated lease payments from CUB in the amount of $70,000, but this money received would not be restricted as to use. (i.e., the City could then use the money for project costs or maintenance that do not qualify for use of TIF funds.) This same method could be used when constructing a parking ramp. (i.e., finance with TIF and revenue from project is unrestricted as to use.) One other item to note - Woodland Lakes has been forfeited to First Minnesota with probable sale and development of this land in the near future and Brick Pond TIF district still has several parcels to be developed. Any development in these areas would increase future TIF and have not been included in these projections. e e e , Project CUB/R.R. Land Purchase Total Armory Land Purchase L.

PLANNERS 3535 VADNAIS CENTER DRIVE, 5T PAUL, MINNESOTA 55110 612490-2000 March 8, 1991 RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA CITY ENGINEER SEH FILE NO: 89114 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Council Members: e On February 12, 1991, the undersigned transmitted to the City a memorandum from Glen Van Wormer, Traffic Engineer, regarding the review of T.H. 95 north of Stillwater, Mn/DOT construction proj ect. This was a result of a letter and preliminary plans from Mn/DOT dated January 14, 1991. Recently Mary Lou Johnson received a letter with final plans and special provisions from Mn/DOT dated March 5, 1991 for the T. H. 95 construction. Mn/DOT is also requesting approval of a resolution at your March 19, 1991 Council meeting. This resolution is required by state statutes before Mn/DOT can award bids on a project within the City of Stillwater. This requires the City to consent to the proj ect before bid opening. Since this resolution states that the City approves the plans, including elevations and grades as shown, and that the City consents to any changes in grade occasioned by the construction; I have reviewed the plans within the City limits for the finished grade at entrances, landscaping, lighting, and storm sewer. e The Mn/DOT project begins at the old railroad bridge on Highway 95, approximately 850 feet south of T.H. 96 and ends two miles south of where the previous proj ect through Marine on the st. Croix ended. T.H. 95 reconstruction provides right turn lanes at most streets and left turn lanes at major crossroads. Within the City, the project will realign the 3-legged T.H. 95 and T.H. 96 intersection to a standard intersection with Alder street, relocated, to complete a fourth leg on the east side. The north connection between T.H. 95 and T.H. 96 will become a frontage road connecting to the existing frontage road into County Road 11 (Ferry Falls Road). The construction will require the closing of T. H. 95 for the summer. A detour route will be set utilizing T.H. 96, County Road 55 and County Road 7. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. 5T. PAUL, MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA FALLS, WISCONSIN >4 ' e e It City of Stillwater March 8, 1991 Page #2 New storm sewer will be constructed on T.H. 95 east of T.H. 96. New lighting will be placed at ~he intersection of T.H. 95 and T.H. 96. As part of the project, Mn/DOT will be adding landscape elements adj acent to Browns Creek between the frontage road. and T. H. 95 and T.H. 96. There will also be some landscaping added on the east side of T.H. 95 south of T.H. 96.. Browns Cr.ee.k !rd.]:J .be improved and the inplace box.culverts will be extended. . Since the T.H. -96 intersection with T.H. 95 will be realigned (approximately 300 feet farther north than existing) and Alder Street will be realigned, the grades shown on the plans are approximately 2 feet lower than the existing in this area. The highway will bend slightly more to the east also before it bends back again. It appears that Mn/DOT has matched into existing entrances and properties fairly well. There will be a short piece of retaining wall constructed in this vicinity. Where the dead end frontage road is constructed from what presently is T.H. 96, the grade matches Ferry Falls Road real well. It appears that the realignment of the T.H. 96 and T.H. 95 inter- section will be an improvement over the existing roadway alignment. I would recommend to the Council that the Mn/DOT proj ect be approved. If you have any questions, I will be more than pleased to discuss them with you. Sincerely, {jl~ERCJ#p-rr-C Richard E.

Third Street. Some of the residents have resided at this address since the building was opened. A new condo owner who has not moved in is insisting that the number be changed. This party would have no problem with the change of number because so far he has not lived at this address, but the owners and residents would be greatly inconvenienced. The present residents would have to change the address on all their legal documents such as deeds, mortgages, tax statements, income tax, stocks and bonds, social security, Medicare, paychecks, dividend checks, pensions, insurance, driverls license, charge accounts, credit cards, telephone directory, personal stationery and checks, all periodicals and personal mail. e We, the present owners and residents, have been completely satisfied living at 301 S. Third Street. We ask your assistance in preventing this change. Thank you for your consideration. e })~. ]11 .

Access Channels Studio, 1913 South Greeley Street, Stillwater, Minnesota. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Commissioners Ann Bodlovick, Jaclyn Ulrich, Phyllis White, and Jack Doerr ABSENT: Commissioners Dean Kern, Douglas Beedle and Mary Kreimer-Adrian ALSO PRESENT: Donald Fixmer, Donald Aderman and Marilyn Richert 7:42 p.m.: Karen Wandmacher, David Thorbus, Roy Lalime, Michael Knutson, Charlie Foukes, and Annette Rehn AGENDA APPROVAL The agenda was approved as amended.

MINUTES APPROVAL MOTION by Ulrich, seconded January 16, 1991, minutes as abstaining. by White, to approve the minutes of 'the presented. Motion CARRIED; with Doerr e: CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT Chairperson Bodlovick announced that there would be an executive meeting immediately following the regular meeting. PUBLIC COMMENT - None. e FRANCHISE ADMINISTRATION 4TH QUARTER FRANCHISE FEE REPORT - Bodlovick reported that the Commission had received a check, in the amount of $15,202.21, representing franchise fees for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1990, and the corresponding report. She pointed out to Foukes that there was no breakout of basic subscribers, as previously requested by the Commission. Foukes had indicated this could be done on the quarterly report. Foukes said he will get breakdown for this last quarter. Ulrich questioned Foukes on figures reported for converters. Foukes explained that when people disconnect, the company charges them for the converter until such time they are returned to the company. When the converter is returned, the subscriber receives credit on his bill. Foukes said this really is not a credit and should be netted against another line item, such as remote controls. Foukes will have this corrected. 4th QUARTER ACCESS EXPENDITURE REPORT - The Commission reviewed the summary of King's community access programming financial support reports for the calendar year of 1990, noting a total of $52,466.96 attributed to access expenditures. Joint Cable Commission Minutes 2-20-91 Page Two e Bodlovick said Fouke's letter dated February 8, 1991, indicated that $7,270 had been spent on capital equipment in October of 1988; namely, two panasonic WV-D5000 video cameras with accessories and one FA-200 Time Base Corrector with rack mount kit. Foukes said this amount came out of the projected allocation of $12,000 allocation for year five of the franchise. Ulrich questioned which accounts were charged for these expenditures and remarked that all through flow-through talks the amounts of $12,0~0, $18,000 and $18,000, or a total of $48,000 was included in the nego~iations, and that the Commission was never advised that these e*penditures had been deducted from the 1988 allocation. Foukes ~rgUed that these were capital expenditures. Bodlovick felt the c mpany should have identified these expenses at the time of purchase indicating a balance after the expenditures. Knutson said that th~ time base corrector, which Lalime said he thought accounted fo~ approximately $3,500, was never acceptable from the beginning. He did not feel this charge acceptable, as Coaxial was replacing the initial time base corrector, which never did work, and the company most likely put the original to use in another access center. Ulrich asked Foukes if he and Lalime had assessed any needs for equipment now, and F:ukes replied they had found nothing. Lalime said the studio cameras were getting old, and that he would like to see money available for hem, indicating a cost of $12,000. Foukes said if there is a need Ifor capital equipment to be upgraded or replaced, the company will buy :it, and that he will consult with Lalime on a quarterly basis t~ determine needs. Bodlovick said these are dedicated funds, to w~ich Foukes replied that the franchise refers to them as "projectedl" funds, and they do not have to be spent unless there is a need for c~pital equipment. Ulrich and Bodlovick suggested that this be presented to the Commission's attorney for his opinion. CARRYOVER ACCOUN~ - Ulrich asked Thorbus if he had been asked for his input on brochure! promoting public access, as requested by the Commission at the Jan~ary meeting. Thorbus replied in the negative. Knutson asked what percentage would be charged to access budget. Foukes said company wpUld charge to appropriate account. South Washington was includ~d in the promotion. The company carries a line item for promotion on the budget, which Lalime indicated would most likely be used up fori other expenses, and a carryover account on the company's fiscal year~end report in June. (Foukes letter of January 9, 1991, indicates a figure of $7,089.30 at the end of June 1990 in the carryover account.) The corporation had requested that the company pay for the editor out of the year five allocation. Foukes responded to this request in his letter of February 15, 1991. Ulrich recommended addressing this issue when talking to Ayotte about years five and eight allocations. JOHNSON COMPLAINT - The administrative secretary reported that Darold Johnson had phoned the Commission Office again, regarding a refund that he felt w~s due him from the company. Marty Welch is handling this situati~n. SCHULTZ REQUEST FOR CABLE - David Schultz phoned the Commission Office regarding getting cable service in his area in West Lakeland Township. A copy of :the line extension policy was mailed to him, and his call referred to King Videocable. e e e .......~ ~.: - e Joint Cable Commission , Minutes 2-20-91 Page Three VERIFICATION/KVC's WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE Foukes provided the Commission with a certificate of insurance for King's Workers' Compensation coverage, which carries an expiration date of April 1, 1991. FORM 325 due with the annual report is still outstanding. Foukes said the form was being revised and has not yet been supplied to the company. Bodlovick suggested checking on this on a quarterly basis. CABLE COMPANY REPORT SUBSCRIBER ACTIVITY REPORT/JANUARY 1991 - Commissioners reviewed the report. Bodlovick questioned Foukes about senior citizen rates, saying she was informed that the company had a promotion offering free installation and a senior citizen rate on basic cable. Foukes said he had not heard of this. Foukes introduced Annette Rehn, Marketing Manager at Brooklyn Park Office, who reported on Midwest Sports Channel being added to the basic lineup as of February 25, 1991. Foukes will submit written notification to the Commission Office. Rehn said the company will be advertising on all medias and mail was directed to non-subscribers. Rehn said the company is going to negotiate with Prime Sports Network and is talking basic for PSN, also. CITIZEN COMPLAINT The Commission Office received a citizen's complaint regarding the scheduling of access programming appearing' in the local newspaper for Presidents Day, when the center was closed and there was no programming. Lalime said the employee makes up the schedules three weeks in advance, and the employee had erred in scheduling for Presidents Day. Another problem occurred when a producer was persistent about taking a tape he had produced from the center on that same day when the Access Center was closed. He was told by the Commission's administrative secretary that she had no authority to release the tape to him. When asked if the producer had taken the tape, Lalime responGed in the affirmative, and went on to say that he had written a letter to the producer advising him on this matter with copies of the letter provided to both the Commission and the corporation. Chairman Bodlovick advised the administrative secretary to lock the door to the center on days when only the Commission Office is open. COMMUNITY ACCESS REPORT Thorbus reported that Valley Access Channels will be holding an open house on February 21, 1991, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. This is being done in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce mixer. Thorbus said the corporation would be presenting their budget for fiscal year 1991 at the Commission's March meeting. He reported that two residents have indicated interest in serving on the corporation's Board of Directors. Thorbus said officials of School District # 834 are interested in having all sporting events cablecast live, and that they would be working with the cable company regarding hookups. He assumed the programs would be shown on channel 3. Joint Cable Commission Minutes 2-20-91 Page Four COMMISSION BUSINESS PRESENTATION OF BILLS - Ulrich mentioned that she had talked to Mark Ayotte regarding eliminating one-quarter hour from his November bill, to which he had agreed. The Commission paid $163.30 instead of $185.80. MOTION to adopt Resolution No. 91-2-5, approving payment of bills and transfer of money from General Fund to Operating Expense Cash Fund, was made by White, seconded by Ulrich. All in favor. FINANCIAL REPORTS - The Commission reviewed the trial balance for January, which reflected cash transactions during the month of January. An adjusted trial balance and statement of revenues and expenditures will be completed when all transactions are completed for fiscal year 1990, ending January 31, 1991. SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX - MOTION by Ulrich, seconded by White to keep the Commission's saf~ty deposit box in the First State Bank of Bayport. All in favort CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT - MOTION by Doerr, seconded by Ulrich, to rollover the certificate of deposit, maturing on March 19, 1991, currently located at Metropolitan Federal Bank to the financial institution offering the best rate of interest. Bodlovick said she and the Doug Beedle will make a comparison of interest rates. All in favor. CABLECASTER - Fixmer provided the Commission with copies of a job description he had developed for his assistant. Ulrich said letters had been mailed to the government entities requesting their assistance in funding for one-manishoots, and that only one camera man would be provided for the agreed upon figure. She said if any of the entities wanted a second cameraroan, they would have to address that to the Commission. MOTION by iUlrich, seconded by Doerr, to adopt Resolution No. 91-2-6, employing pon Fixmer effective February 1, 1991, at the terms discussed during Ithe Commission's executive session on January 16, 1991. All in favoI). CABLECAST ASSIS~ANT No wage was set for the second cameraperson, who is to be available if Fixmer is unable to cablecast a meeting. CHANNEL 12 EQUIPMENT MOTION by Ulrich, seconded by White to purchase one porta-braqe case for a Sony monitor from Alpha Video at a price of $109.00. Alliin favor. EVALUATION/ADMINI~TRATIVE SECRETARY Ulrich told of the evaluation on February 11, 1991, for the administrative secretary and commended her for her hard work and effort during the past year. She recommended the Commi~sion approve of the rate increase discussed during the previous evaluation, retroactive to February 1, 1991. MOTION by Ulrich, seconded by White, to approve of the increase effective February 1, 1991. All in favor. Discussion followed regarding the prudence of purchasing a small computer for the Commi~sion Office. During the evaluation Beedle had indicated that a complete set-up could be purchased for under $1,000.00. Thorbus said he maintains ledgers and the corporation pays an accountant $25.00 per hour to reconcile their bank statements and generate their financial reports. e e e Joint Cable Commission Minutes 2-20-91 Page Five e e- Thorbus said because the corporation is non-profit it is advisable for them to have an accountant, and that the bookkeeping system was difficult to operate on the computer. White commented that fund accounting can't be done on a spreadsheet. Discussion followed if the volume of work would warrant the cost for a computer system and programs. INTERCONNECT - A letter dated January 31, 1991, was received from Ann Mathews of the Ramsey-Washington Counties Suburban Cable Commission, requesting to be informed of the Commission's committment to Christoper Glenn's proposal letter. Ulrich gave a synopsis of Glenn's letter dated January 31, 1991, stating Northeast Metro Tech's goal was to establish a regional higher education/vocational/technical access channel for the distribution of advanced academic programming, and that after investigating the microwave and copper alternatives, they have made the concession to utilize our fiber optic network, which they feel will provide the most cost effective level of quality. Although they indicated last year there would be no cost, which Glenn says was incorrect, they are now requesting $8,100.000 from each of the individual cable franchises to assist in payment for a fiber optic demodulator to download the regional signal off the NE Metro fiber optic network, and a CATV modulator to send the regional channel to the respective local headends. Program narrative and maps showing the areas covered were enclosed with the letter. Glenn suggested that perhaps a leased access channel could be re-designated by the Commission for use by the proposed regional higher education channel. He continued that he is leaving the decision up to the Commission. Doerr said Jim Commers had assured the Commission that money would be available from the company for this purpose. Ulrich said the cable company had allocated $15,000 for the interconnect with NE Metro Tech with the understanding that they would install at the Commission's request. Discussion followed regarding the availability of ~ leased access channel, getting documentation of what will be shown on the channel, etc. Ulrich said the letter requests that the Joint Cable Commission presents question to the cable company and starts scoping out the dedication of a channel. She thought it wise to get the Ayotte's opinion on this matter. Foukes remarked that North Central has five commissions, and suggested carrying over to the March Commission meeting. CORRESPONDENCE/ANNOUNCEMENTS - A file of additional incoming and outgoing correspondence not addressed during the meeting was available for Commissioner's review. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None. PUBLIC COMMENT - None. NEW BUSINESS - None. AFFIRM NEXT MEETING DATE - 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 18, 1991, at whichever location is available. e Joint Cable Commission Minutes 2-20-91 Page six ADJOURNMENT - MOTION by White, seconded by Doerr, to adjourn the meeting.

Basically, the letter stated the Sierra Club does not support the new bridge crossing due to the additional proliferation of structures over a Wild and Scenic River. However, preservation of the historic lift bridge is important. Bridge traffic restrictions and reroute traffic alternatives should be planned by MnDOT as an answer to traffic problems in Stillwater. The letter ends with a statement that the Preservation Commission and the Sierra Club have the same goals in mind. Shawn Draper fel~ that, although preservation of the lift bridge is important, the Cityl's position on a new river crossing has already been made public. ! The Het'itage Preservation Commission will not comment on this letter from the Sierra Club. 5. On Friday, April 19,1991 Stillwater, along with the ~1innesota Historical Society, will be ho~ting the Preservation Commissioners from allover the state of Minnesota! and other various local historical societies at Brines. Along with the reception, a short tour of Stillwater will be conducted.

Heritage Preservation Cbmmission members will host the reception at Brines. The meeting adjourned a1 8:50 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Ann Pung-Terwedo e 2 e Feb.22,1991 Ann Pung-Terwedo Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission Stillwater, MN 55082 e Dear Ann Pung-Terwedo and Commission Members; I write to you today to bring to your attention a very important matter. I am Conservation Chair for the local Sierra Club. I read from the public record your stand about the proposed Stillwater bridge. Your advocacy of the historic downtown area is very important to the Stillwater community. That is why I feel it is necessary to inform you of the stand that is being taken by eight agencies and associations concerning the disposition of the lift bridge. MNDoT will take no stand on the issue at present. However, The US Dept. of the Interior (National Par~ Service), The Lower St.Croix Management Commission, the MN-WI Boundary Area Commission, WI DNR, MN DNR, the St.Croix Valley Sierra Club (as well as the MN, WI, and National Sierra Clubs), Voyageurs Region Park Ass'n., and the St.Croix River Association have all insisted that if a new bridge is built over the St.Croix, the old bridge will have to be removed under MN law, stating no proliferation of structures over a wild and scenic riverway. The Sierra Club is already investigating a possible lawsuit in the matter. I am a native of Stillwater and love its historic quality. I do not want to see the old bridge moved. It must remain part of the historic commercial district. These eight environmental groups are emphasizing that MNDoT needs to do a Regional Tranportation Systems plan that involves utilizing the 194 bridge at Hudson, with faster access from the Stillwater area by creating access roads that would bypass Bayport and Hudson. It needs to eliminate truck traffic on the old bridge, use a much vaster plan of mass transit vans or buses to area employers and reroute traffic in Stillwater. Bridges in other parts of the country are subject to these kind of res~ctions, especially if the community wants to preserve them. Stillwater-Houlton does not have to become a major thoroughfare. Metropolitan sprawl into. ~t.Croix County will not inhance the historic quality of Stillwater and its unique placement on a wild and scenic river. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. I feel that we have the same goal in mind. e Sincerely ~/f" tL~ )4d~<f~ Cindy Gustavson Conservation Chair St.Croix Valley Interstate Sierra Club 1007 Pine Tree Trail Stillwater, MN 55082 430-1541 r illwater ~ --~ -- -~ THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA J e MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR ~ DATE: MARCH 19, 1991 SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT TO DOWNTOWN PLAN ACTION COMMITTEE The Downtown Plan Action Committee recommends Fred Brass, owner of the Village Shop, as the replacement to the Downtown Plan Action Committee.

After announcing the north alignment of the South Corridor as the preferred location for further study, the DOTs have been busy laying.the groundwork for the next stage in the study process design development. We are now prepared to get the task force involved. We would like to schedule our first meeting for 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, March 21 at the Stillwater City Hall. At the meeting, we will review the process steps which lie ahead and discuss future task force involvement. e The design phase has two major components: the bridge type and design process, and the design of the approach roadways in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Mn/DOT is coordinating the bridge type and design process, in conjunction with a consulting firm which has been hired to provide visual representations of various bridge types and designs. Mn/DOT is also responsible for coordinating the studies on interchange and overpass locations along TH 36 in Minnesota. Wisc/DOT is handling the interchange/overpass studies on its side of the river. We have scheduled the first series of public bridge type and design meetings for 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, April 24, at the Stillwater High School Auditorium, and Thursday, April 25 at the St. Joseph Town Hall. At the first task force meeting, one of the major agenda items will be to preview our thinking about what will occur at these first bridge type/design meetings, and then get your ideas and reactions. If you have questions, feel free to call me (612-779-1208).

Foslien Division Administrator Federal Highway Administration suite 490, Metro Square Building 7th and Roberts streets st. Paul, MN 55101 REF: stillwater-Houlton Bridge Project Dear Mr. Foslien: e Thank you for providing us with information regarding the referenced project. We note that you disagree with the Minnesota state Historic Preservation Officer's (SHPO) finding that a new bridge in the southern corridor could have an adverse effect on historic properties. Given the level of information available at this relatively early stage of planning, we must object to this contention and agree with the Minnesota SHPO. We applaud your stated commitment to building a visually compatible new bridge. Pending further design development, however, the possibility remains that a new bridge could have a negative visual impact on historic properties. Efforts to design the structure so as to avoid adverse effects should move forward within the context of consultation pursuant to the Council's regulations. e We feel strongly that disposition of the existing bridge is not an issue separate from this project. The Draft section 106 Documentation indicates that state funding for maintenance of the historic bridge will be discontinued following construction of the new bridge. Unless ownership of the structure is transferred to another party, lack of maintenance will lead directly to the deterioration of the property. Neglect is one of the criteria for adverse effect in the Council's regulations, and it is clear that construction of a new bridge could lead to neglect of the historic bridge. While this is more than sufficient reason to address the disposition of the.historic bridge during section 106 consultation, analysis of this issue is even more imperative given the Department of the Interior's previously-stated position that the historic bridge should be demolished. 2 We look forward to consulting with you and the other parties involved to seek ways to avoid or mitigate the potential adverse effects discussed above. If you have any questions, please contact Druscilla Null at (202) 786-0505. Sincerely, ~lIArM ~~ J!t-bon L. Klima J Director, Eastern Office of Project Review e e e ~ 1 [ f R N e City Council Members City of Stillwater 212 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 12 March 1991 Re: Downtown Plan Phase I Dear Council Members, e We are writing to express our support for the proposed downtown plan. As downtown property owners, business owners and residents, we have been very interested in the attitude and direction the city will take with proposed development. After attending several council meetings and other presentations on the plan, we feel the main question to us is do you want all the parts of the plan. This has been an all or nothing question, accept the parts in question or expect to never have them a part of the the downtown plan. We feel the plan has the parts to achieve the city's goals of improving the downtown, but we question~ if the details of the individual parts achieve the goals. We feel pressure to accept these parts because they are 'on sale' whether they are appropriate for Main Street or not. This of course is a very minor point in the scheme of the entire plan and it is just a personal preference but it is what makes one plan distinguishable from the next. We have listed the parts of the plan which come to mind and our comments and preference for inclusion in the plan. 1. Infrastructure-storm sewer and utilities all as required. 2. Roadway surface-all as required. 212 North Main Street Stillwater MN 55082 6 1 2 .43 0 . 005 6 Architecture l and s cap e Architecture e R~~OCIR1[~ e 3. Sidewalks-Prefer slab concrete to the selected pavers. The pavers are residential in scale and seem inappropriate. 4. Lighting-Pedestrian lighting is necessary for pedestrians. Cars require lighting to satisfy MNDoT. Too many pedestrians lights will make a mall out of Main Street, fewer lights would be desired. The proposed shoebox style lights are totally inappropriate for Main Street. There are other alternati~es for automobile lighting. ! 5. Landscaping-Minimal or no planting on Main Street. The impact would be greater if used to enhance entry points, provide screening or line side streets into residential areas. 6. Maintenance-This could say the most about pride and attitude, more care should be given to what exists. Again, we feel the complete plan needs to be committed to as it was thought of ~s a complete idea. We do support the idea and hope the council commits to the entire plan. If a question is to be raised it is not over which parts should be included, but what the details of the parts are. Thank you for your time. e Sincerely, STEFAN ASSOCIATES ~~ Tim Stefan Architect Stillwater HPC member A~ )~~ Landscape Architect cc Steve Russell Ann Pung Terwedo e e e e - ~ *, - MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: City Coordinator DA: March 14, 1991 RE: CHARTER COMMISSION EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT Accompanying this memo is a voucher request from Warren Pakulski, Charter Commission member.

ADOPTED: , 1991 ATTEST: Mayor 2 e EXHIBIT A WASHINGTON COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 1991 SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA Minnesota statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Act"), authorizes a city to develop and administer programs of making or purchasing mortgage loans to finance the acquisition, by low and moderate income persons and families, of single family housing located anywhere within its boundaries, subject t.o Minnesota Statutes, Section 462C.07. The City of Stillwater, Minnesota (the "City") intends to authorize The Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority") to issue its single family mortgage revenue bonds pursuant to the Act to finance a program of making or purchasing loans (or securities representing pools of such loans) to finance the acquisition of single family housing by low or moderate income persons as defined in the Act. e In creating this housing finance program, the City has found and determined that the preservation of the quality of life in the City is dependent upon the maintenance and provision of adequate, decent, safe and sanitary housing stock; that accomplishing the provision of such housing stock is a public purpose and will benefit the residents of the City; that a need exists within the City to provide in a timely fashion additional affordable housing to be sold to persons of low and moderate income residing and expected to reside in the City; and that a need exists for mortgage credit to be made available for both existing and new single family housing and for rehabilitation of existing single family housing and for home improvements.

[Date of Publication] BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY By Executive Director e e March 14, 1991 Stillwater City Council Stillwater City Hall 216 N. 4th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Dear Council Member Funke: This letter is written to inform you about two issues which were discussed at a recent meeting of the Rivertown Commons Residents' Council e The first issue regards the safety of the residents of this senior high-rise. In the recent past, two women living in this building have been killed when struck by automobiles in downtown Stillwater. We have recently heard that during the renovation of downtown streets, traffic will be diverted to Second Street. At present, the traffic coming down the hill from Pioneer Park is often exceeding the speed limit. To us, more traffic means more difficulty crossing the street. Practically all of the tenants of Rivertown Commons are over sixty-five years of age and need more time to cross the street. It is necessary for all of us living in the building to have safe access to stores and bus routes in downtown Stillwater. We are requesting that a well-marked crosswalk be installed at the corner of Second Street and Commercial. At one time there was a marked crosswalk at this corner, but when the street was resurfaced, it was eliminated. e Our second concern is related to the ever increasing problem of parking. Rivertown Commons was built in spite of the lack of adequate parking spaces, and now more car owners have moved in. The few parking spaces located directly to the south of the building have been used as overflow parking and also for visitors and those doing business in the building, but now it is almost impossible to find an open parking space in this area. It seems that the cars which were formerly parked at downtown meters are now parked in this lot. Also there has been an increase in the commercial use of property in the area which adds to the congestion. Stillwater City Council Office of the Mayor March 14, 1991 Page Two e There does not seem to be an easy solution to this problem. We would suggest ,that if a parking ramp is still in the city's plans, or if 'ani additional parking lot is added in the area, a reasonable num~er of spaces be reserved and designated as parking for resi~ents of Rivertown Commons. I Thank you for yotir consideration of these concerns.

Second St~eet Stillwater, Minn~sota 55082 cc: Building Manager e e Mayor Wally Abrahamson Stillwater City Hall Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mr. Abrahamson: We, the undersigned, are requesting that the city look into the problem of excessive speed of vehicles in the Pine Street/South Fourth Street/ Walnut Street area in light of the accident and serious injury that occurred at South Fourth and Walnut streets on Saturday evening, March 16. This incident marks the second time in less than eight months that speeding vehicles have caused serious personal injury or property damage in this area. For the safety of not only the drivers and passengers of these vehicles but of neighborhood pedestrians and residents as well, we ask that the city take the necessary action to deal with this situation.
