RESOLUTION NO. 91-53
A RESOLUTION REGULATING GAMBLING
There is hereby imposed a tax, at the rate specified in this
resolution, on all lawful gambling conducted in the City of
Stillwater by organizations licensed by the Minnesota
Charitable Gambling Control Board.
2. On all lawful gambling the tax is three (3%) percent of the
gross receipts of a licensed organization from lawful
gambling, less prizes actually paid out, payable by the
organization.
'e
e
3.
The tax imposed by this section shall be paid on a monthly
basis, and shall be reported on a dubplicate copy of the
gambling tax return filed with the-Minnesota Charitable
Gambling Control Board each month. The report shall be an
exact duplicate filed with the Minnesota Charitable Gambling
Control Board, without deletions or additions, and must
contain the signatures of organization officials, as
required on the report form. The tax return and the payment
of the tax due must be post marked, or if hand delivered
then received in the Office of the City Treasur:er, on or
before the 20th day of the month following the month for
which the report is made.
4. Beginning April 1, 1991, any organization licensed by the
Minnesota Gambling Control Board to conduct gambling in the
City of Stillwater shall contribute ten (10%) percent of its
net profits from gambling to the City of Stillwater, to be
held in a fund administered and regulated by the City
Council for disbursements by the City Council for lawful
purposes as set forth in Minnesota Statutes 349.12 Subd. 11.
5. Payments of ten percent of the net profits shall be made on
a monthly payment basis. Payments shall be due on the date
upon which duplicate monthly gambling tax returns and taxes
are due to the City of Stillwater, for the previous month's
gambling activity. Payment shall be made by separate check
made payable to the Stillwater City Treasurer. Payment
shall be remitted to the Office of the City Treasurer, City
Hall, 216 North Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082,
accompanied by the duplicate Minnesota Gambling tax return
and schedules for the monthly reporting period covered.
6. Failure of any organization to pay either the three percent
local tax or the ten percent contribution of net profits, as
set forth in this Resolution, shall be grounds for the
revocation or suspension of the organization's license for
the remainder of the license year. No license shall be
granted or renewed if any of these sums remain unpaid.

STATE OF MINNESOTA
DISTRICT COURT
COUNTY OF WASHINGTON
TENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
Frederick Brass and
Mary Sue Brass,
Appellants,
NOTICE OF APPEAL OF
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IN
CONNECTION WITH LOCAL
IMPROVEMENT NO. 257
PARCELS 10692-2650;
10692-2550; 10692-2600
v.
City of Stillwater,
Minnesota,
Respondent.
TO: CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA, AND WALLY ABRAHAMSON, ITS
MAYOR, AND MARY LOU JOHNSON, ITS CITY CLERK.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Frederick Brass and Mary Sue
Brass, Appellants, owner of land described in the assessment
rolls for the above-entitled projects hereby appeals to the
Washington County District Court from the following special
assessments levied against Appellants' land:
Proiect No. Proiect Assessment
257 10692-2650 $ 4,592.50
257 10692-2550 3,151.20
257 10692-2600 4,137.35
Total assessments subject to appeal: $11,881. 05
e
This appeal is taken pursuant to Minnesota Statutes S429.081
upon the following grounds:
1. The amount of the special assessments adopted and
levied against Appellants I land substantially exceeds the
benefits accruing to such land from the respective improvements,
and written objection to said assessments were filed by
Appellants prior to and at the public hearing.
2. The method of assessing Appellants' land, the precise
details of which are not presently known, is upon information and
belief, an improper method of assessment, not consistent with the
~ assessment of similarly situated properties and not reflective of
the special benef it, if any, accruing to Appellants' land from
the respective improvements.
3. Landowners other than the landowners included in said
assessments receive benefits from the respective improvements but
have not been assessed therefore, and to the extent that the
assessments to Appellants' land are for benefits to lands owned
by other persons, said assessments are arbitrary, capricious, and
unjustified.
~
-2-
, ..
e
4. The benefits from the improvements assessed to
Appellants in fact represent significant benefits to the general
public and to the City of Stillwater but have not been adequately
reflected by appropr ia te payments for these benefits from the
general funds of the City, and to the extent that the assessments
to Appellants' land are for benefits to the general public and to
the Ci ty of Stillwater, said assessments are arbitrary,
capricious, and unjustified.
5. Such other statutory and constitutional grounds as may
e be found to exist.
6. The levy of the assessments which are the subject of
this proceedings, at amounts which substantially exceed the
benefit to the Appellants' property, constitutes a taking of
property in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, entitling Appellants to such damages, costs,
disbursements, and attorneys' fees, as Appellants may prove at
trial, in accordance with 42 U.S.C. ~1983.
e
-3-
..... .. to.
e
WHEREFORE,
Appellants pray for
judgment against
the
Respondent City of Stillwater as follows:
1. Setting aside the assessment against Appellants I land
and ordering a reassessment pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
~429. 071, Subd. 2, in accordance wi th the relief sought in this
appeal and as may be ordered by the Court.
2. Requiring the City to pay interest on any principal or
interest payments made by Appellants for the special assessment
now levied for the above-referenced improvements and granting a
credi t therefore on any reassessment ordered pursuant to this
appeal.
3. Awarding Appellants costs and disbursements in this
~ appeal, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
4. For such other and further relief as the Court may deem
just and equitable.

During the year 1990, the Washington County Sheriff's Department entered
into a joint powers agreement with three municipalities within the County.
The theory behind this ~greement, was that each municipality would dedicate
an Officer from their Policd_Department to work ~lith the Sheriff's Narcotic
Unit for v'a.:ciu".l"; :er.-:,i.:lls of time during th': Yc~r.
On 1/1/90 OFFICER DAVE ROETTGER Stillwater P.o. joined the unit for the
entire year. In September 1990, OFFICER KENT FARNHAM Bayport, and OFFICER
MIKE HAUSKEN Oak Park Heights P.D. joined the unit for six months each.
The results of this joint effort are as follows:
During the year the Narcotics Unit initiated 213 new cases, a total of
45 search warrants were executed and 58 people were arrested on felony
narcotics violations, within Washington County.
~he Narcotics Unit also provided information to other Narcotics units,
outside the County, which led to the arrest of at least 15 people.
The Unit seized approximately 2,484 grams of Cocaine with a total street
2,389 ounces of Marijuana
136 grams Methamphetamine
value of $620,350.00.
The Unit also eradicated 17,300 wild and c\1ltivate1 Ha~ijuana plar;tS\"ith
a potential street value of $2,4000,000.00.
The Unit also seized $105,345.00 in U. S. Currency
1 - house, valued - $65,000.00
1 - motorhome valued - $7,000.00
2 - cars valued - $4,000.00
Miscellaneous jewelry and coins valued - $5,000.00
Aside from investigating cases in Washington County, the Unit is often
called upon by other agencies to assist them in various situations, such
as surveillance, execution of search warrants, and undercover operations.
Recently, we assisted the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in
an investigation that began in 1990. This investigation included three
oral intercepts on three suspect telephones. OFFICER ROETTGER had the
primary informant used in this investigation. This case concluded on

The Unit also investigated cases other than narcotics during the year.
We conducted four illegal gambling investigations, which resulted in the
arrest of four defendants. We also assisted other investigators from
within the Sheriff's Department, and other Police Agencies in the County,
on various burglary investigations, which included surveillance, and
search warrant executions. This resulted in the recovery of over
$30,000.00 worth of stolen property.
During the year, Officers from the Unit attended various hours of training,
consisting of one week in Springfield, MO., attending the Mid:"'States
Organized Crime Information Center, 10th Annual Intelligence Conference,
12 hours Basic Narcotics course, 28 hours Covert Drug Investigation course,
8 hours Narcotics Conspiracy course, 16 hours training provided by the
Minnesota Narcotics Investigators Association, 4 hours U. S. West Telephone
Security Seminar and 8 hours Aerial Observation Training provided by the
Minnesota Air National Guard.

Hennepin and Ramsey counties still

considerably from the very large ones

Felony drug convictions up in suburbs
. Rate of increase
due to work by 'police'
and suburban growth
VIRGINIA RY81N STAFF WRITER
SO you just moved into a comfortable,
$120,000 home in Eagan, safe from the
perils of the inner city.
Don't get too cozy, because you just
may have a drug dealer in your neighbor-
hood.
A new study by the state Sentencing
Guidelines Commission says drug convic-
tions are increasing faster in suburban
Twin Cities counties than in the counties
that include the major cities of Minneap-
olis and St. Paul.
The study shows that felony drug con-
victions increased faster in 1989 in Ano-
forces in those areas contributed to the
rise in convictions. Phillip Prokopowicz,
assistant Dakota County attorney, said
county police departments and the sher-
iff's office formed two task forces in
1988, with five to six officers on each, to
specialize in drug crime. He said federal
and state funding made this possible.
Prokopowicz said drug prosecutions
decreased slightly in 1990 as the task
forces changed officers and they learned
new jobs. But he said charges are up
again this year.
According to the commission's study,
felony drug convictions increased from
48 in Dakota County in 1987 to 82 in
1989. In Washington County, the commis-
sion said, there were 33 convictions in
1987 and 59 in 1989.

About 88 percent of those con.

1989 have served or are serving
time in either prison or a county
jail. The majority \fent to jail,
while 13.7 percent were sentenced
to prison.
"This certainly is a significant
number of people doing time, con.
trary to the idea people have that
drug offenders don't do time,"
Dailey said.
The average prison sentence
was 26 months. Drug offenders
sent to county jails served an
average of 71 days.
Women convicted of drug
crimes were less likely to be sent
to prison than men, the study
found.
. Washington County Attorney
Richard Arney agreed with Proko-
powicz that concentration on the
drug problem by law enforcement
officers is a factor in the in-
creased convictions. Though inci-
dence of drug crime cannot be
established, Arney said he also has
a feeling "there's a lot more drug
activity out in the counties," possi-
bly related to "more people mov-
ing around, on the freeways, in
shopping centers."
Ken Boyden, chief deputy Wash-
ington County sheriff, said he ha:;
noticed that drug dealers are mov-
ing their homes to outlying areas.
He said surveillance can be harder
there because one unmarked car
on a county road sticks out.
"Also, the suburbs are growing,"
Boyden said. "When you add peo-
ple) you get more potential for
criminal activity."
. In Ramsey County, the commis-
sion found, drug convictions in-
creased 44 percent from 1988 to
_, co~pared with 66 percent
""revlous year.
Robert Plesha, director of the
drug prosecution unit in the Ram-
sey County attorney's office, said
1990 convictions were about the
same as 1989, and this is the first
time in about five years the coun-
ty ,has not seen a double-digit in-
crease in drug prosecutions.
"The police took out some of the
big players," he said, "though
there are still a lot of drugs out on
the street. Also we are chasing
bigger dealers. That takes time,
and you're not going to get as
many."
Plesha said another factor in
the leveling off could be increas-
ing sophistication of street dealers
in avoiding arrest. Also, he said,
the'St. Paul Police, Department
decreased the number of officers

1991, edition of Multi-Channel News, regarding the distribution of 34
Minnesota Twins home games being offered on pay-per-view beginning in
June with 30 more games on the basic service. The Commission wishes
clarification from the company of the effect this will have in the
Central Saint Croix area, as no notification was received from the
company with reference to any games being offered on a per-per-view
basis. .

A news article rega~ding Colony Communications was received today
from Jim Commers. It ~llustrated the company's interest in the
production of ethnic apd foreign languages and its promotion of
Portuguese, Spanish an~ Cambodian language programs on local access

COMMUNITY ACCESS CORPORATION'S REPORT - David Thorbus presented
members of the Commission with a written report regarding
reappointments to the ~ommunity Access Corporation's Board of
Directors, the electioh of officers, recent Board approval of
Skaar, and reSignatiO\ of Rogers George IV. He requested
Commission approve the above-mentioned appointments. He said
Board had changed some of its bylaws, as follows:
1) Meeting every ot er month, with Executive Committee making
, decisions in the interim.
2) Allowing three of the 12 seats on the Board to be occupied by
persons residingloutside the franchise area.
3) Allowing cable c~mpany employees to serve on committees.
4) Changing qualification requirements pertaining to volunteer
programs.
5) Changing attenda~'ce requirements.
A draft of the revised bylaws will be furnished to the Commission.
Thorbus reported tha the Board had received a letter of resignation
from Rogers George Iv.11 Due to lack of transportation, George found it
difficult to attend me tings.
APPOINTMENT OF DA YL SKAAR - Thorbus said that the Board was of
the opinion that Skaar would be a valuable addition to the Board and
requested that the com~ission approve the appointment at this meeting
even though Skaar was ~ot in attendance. After some discussion,
MOTION was made by Whi~e, seconded by Doerr, to approve of the
reappointments of Boar~ members, the slate of officers, and the
appointment of Daryl S~aar to the Community Access Corporation's

It will be necessary for him to have an assistant to cover this
meeting (Roy Lalime or Jeff Zyvoloski.) Don Aderman will be
cablecasting the School Board meeting which is scheduled for the same
evening. The County meeting will be aired on channel 12 and the
School Board meeting on channel 3. Fixmer reported spending extra
time and expenses, trying to locate and alleviate problems that occur
occasionally, stating that there was no provision in his personnel
manual to compensate him for these expenses. He reported interference
problems at Stillwater and the County Board. He was of the opinion
that the problem may be in the wiring at the locations rather than
with channel 12 equipment. Beedle suggested the use of an isolator to
locate the problem.
Don Aderman reported spending a half hour of his time repairing
microphone cables. Beedle expressed the importance of allocating
money for maintenance and repair of channel 12 equipment in the
budget. Discussion followed in connection with ownership of
equipment, problems requiring the cablecaster to travel to sites for
testing of signals in advance of scheduled meetings.
Fixmer had also requested in his letter of April 10th financial
assistance for a seminar he is attending, "Basic Video Engineering for
the Production Staff," in Minneapolis in May, which cos~ $214.00.
After discussing budget allocations for fiscal year 1991, the
decided that the $250 allotted for conferences, meetings and dues was
not sufficient to support Fixmer's request. Ulrich suggested that
Fixmer request money for this type of activity prior to development of
the budget for the fiscal year..
FINANCIAL REPORTS/MARCH 1990 - The Commission reviewed the March
1991 financial reports.
WINDOW BLINDS - The Commission received an offer of $20.00 for
four sets of blinds previously used in the Commission Office at 1941
South Greeley Street. The window between the Commission Office and
the Access Center is the same size as the outer windows, and it was
decided that one set of blinds should be retained for that window.
YELLOW PAGES LISTING - The Commission is listed directly below
"Television-Cable & CATV" in the .U. S. West st. Croix Valley
Directory, and since it is the only 439 number under that listing,
phone calls for both the company and the Access Center are received in
the Commission Office. Commissioners discussed listing the Commission
under "Government," but felt that the public would not locate the
Commission under that heading. Consensus was to keep the same listing
in the yellow pages, but to request that King Videocable identify
under their listing that they service the st. Croix Valley area.
CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION was made by Doerr, seconded by White to approve the consent
agenda, including Resolution No. 91-4-11 approving payment of bills
and transfer of money from the General Fund to the operating Expense
Fund. All in favor.

CORRESPONDENCE/ANNOU~CEMENTS The Administrative Secretary informed
the Commission that $1,000.00 had been transferred from the General
Fund into a certificqte of deposit at Metropolitan Federal Bank for
the independent audit. (This amount represents a $500 transfer from
the Fund Balance for [each of fiscal years 1989 and 1990. The last
independent audit wa~ completed in 1988 on 1987 financial records.
An independent audit [is to be conducted every five years.)
PUBLIC COMMENT - NoJe.
CABLECAST EXPENSES - Don Aderman resumed the conversation on expenses
incurred by the cablecasters when working special meetings. He
questioned the mannep of charging these expenses to the responsible
party and suggested: the Commission establish a procedure to handle
both expenses and an hourly rate for any extra work performed above
and beyond that requi~ed for a regular cablecast. After a
considerable amount o~ discussion it was determined that Ulrich,
Bodlovick and Beedle i(or Gene White) would meet some afternoon next
week (at approximatelr 3:30 p.m.) to discuss the cost to the
Commission, taking in~o consideration salary plus benefits, and other
allowable expenses, spch as mileage, maintenance and repairs, who is
responsible for expense (Commission or entity requesting special tt

RE:
SALARIES FOR TEMPORARY PUBLIC WORKS PERSONNEL
I met with Cy Smythe, Labor Relations Associates, to discuss the question of
salaries for temporary public works personnel. Mr. Smythe suggested that the
salary for someone like Ken Kress who has been with the City for three - four
years, and who is qualified to perform light equipment operator duties should
receive a minimum of $7.50 - $8.50 per hour. Mr. Smythe also suggested that the
salary for relatively new and inexperience labor/maintenance personnel could
be set at a lower rate of, say $6.50 - $7.00.
I have also reviewed the salary schedule for the Washington County Public Works
Department that was obtained by Councilmember Bodlovick. Based on my discussion
with Cy and after reviewing the county's program, I would recommend that the
Council consider adopting the following pay schedule for temporary public works
(and parks) personnel:
1st Year
2nd Year
Skilled
Semi-skilled
$7.75
$6.00
$8.00
$6.25
3rd Year
4th YEEr
$8.25
$6.50
$8.50
$6.75
Choc, Tim and I will be prepared to discuss this with you in more detail at the
meeting Tuesday afternoon.

RE:
FIRE SERVICE CONTRACTS
Accompanying this memo are the exhibits related to the cost allocation for
providing f ire protection services to Grant, May and Stillwater Townships.
Basically the cost of the City's fire protection services (including
depreciation) is allocated to the communities by combining the five year average
of fire runs, assessed valuation, population and households. The five year
averages are shown on Exhibit B.
As you can see on Exhibit A the budgeted cost for 1991 is $537,114 and is
allocated as follows:
City of Stillwater
Grant Township
May Township
Stillwater Township
$369,726
$ 69,059
$ 39,717
$ 58,620
$537,114
e
(69%)
(13% )
(7%)
( 11%)
If the City were to provide fire protection services to the City of Oak Park
Heights and were to use the same formula, the results are estimated to be as
follows:
City of Stillwater
Grant Township
May Township
Stillwater Township
Oak Park Heights
$316,897
$ 59,083
$ 32,227
$ 48,340
$ 80,567
~537 , 114
(59%)
(11%)
(6%)
(9%)
(15%)
The costs ($537,114) shown above are for current operations only and does not
include any costs for a satellite station. In regards to the method of
allocating costs of the fire protection services. ,the formula that we are
using (at least to my knowledge) is very similar to that which is used by other
cities. I think it is fair if you consider that the City is providing fire
protection to a total service area and the cost to provide this service is the
same for one service area as it is for another area. On the other hand, there
may be justification for using an "incremental cost" approach considering the
size of the contract amounts for the Townships and the possibility of "losing"
a township because of the cost allocated to them. The problem is one of
determining or defining "incremental costs" and the fact that any decrease in
revenues from the contracts will have be borne by City taxpayers. Hopefully the
e Council can give staff some direction in this matter at the workshop Tuesday night.
