DAVID MAGNUSON stated that the City had just receivelin yesterday's mail Judge Dablow's Order which was signed by him on December 27, 1979 - it provides that the temporary injunction continue in effect; that the City communicate with River Town Restoration and the Zoller- Larson partnership to determine if their offer is still in effect - if it is still in effect the parties should proceed to negotiate any unsettled matters - the negotiations to be conducted in a manner consistent with his opinion - negotations shall proceed with due deliberate speed, but in any event shall be concluded within ninety days; if the results of the negotiations are such that the Council finds that there is no prudent and feasible alternative to destruction, then the City may apply to the Court for additional relief. The memorandum along with the order reminded the City that it is "the paramount concern" of the law is that historic resources be protected and that the City has an obligation to proceed in good faith to preserve the school - he is not ordering that the City grant variances and if the City feels that in the public interest it would be hurt by granting variances, then the Council should not do it.

(all in favor) CITY COORDINATOR'S REPORT 1. Mr. Krisel distributed to the City Council copies of the Proposed Budget for 1980 for their study and possible adoption at the Council meting on January 22, 1980. There was a letter of explanation indicating the changes rade from the original draft. 2.

(all in favor) 3. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Powell, that the mileage allowance for all other employees to be 190 per mile effective January 1, 1980. (all in favor) 4. There was discussion on the contract with Junker Sanitation, Inc. for the removal of garbage and rubbish from all residential dwellings in the City of Stillwater. There was reference to Paragr,ph 3 - line 8 and that the wording be changed to read "may make" rather than "shall be obligated" as indicated in the draft. In paragraph 9 the public liability insurance was set at $500,000/ 1,000,000 and property damage at $100,000. In paragraph 10 the mount of the bond should be changed from $10,000 to $2,500. Mr. Junker's attorney suggested that there be an arbitration clause in the contract but the Council members did not feel that was necessary and Mr. Magnuson explained the various procedures that could be used for this purpose, and he did not feel that this would do anybody any good and the Council concurred since there has not been a problem in the past in working ou the problems 5 anresolution seconded INFILTRATION/INFLOW Bodlovick, ON/ NFLOW ANALYSIS' AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Harry Peterson, Roger Peterson, Powell and Mayor Junker NAYS- -None (see resolutions) 6. Mr. Kriegel informed the Council that there will be a hearing at the Metro- politan Health Board on January 16, 1980 to discuss the application by the City of Oakdale and the Stillwater Ambulance Service for an ambulance license application to service the lower half of the City of Oakdale. The EMS service area has approved this and the Washington County Health Board has also made a recommendation that they support this. He felt that the more runs that the Stillwater Ambulance Service makes, there would be a more favorable picture as to what they are going to charge the City of Stillwater and the ambulance subsidy that they request. MAYOR JUNKER was very much opposed to this support and felt thrt the City of suffer Stillwater would Stillwater - and that we i needt o hetwo e would ambulances andthey COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON felt that it should decrease the City's costs by expanding the area and the total costs could be spread over a wider area, hopefully reducing the costs and if they are asking for opinions - we have nothing to do with setting the area - this is done by the State of Minnesota- he did not see anything wrong with the City saying that we think it would be logical for the Stillwater Ambulano Service to handle it. COUNCILMAN POWELL felt that it would be reasonable to find out if Mr. Cropp could service this area without reducing the service to our community. He also felt that the larger the area the more that it would appear that the cost should be less but he would not want to do it if it meant a sacrifice of our service; if there is an emergency we need the service. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that there are two applications and she did not know that the more area they cover there should be a cost reduction in charges he have place here to cover that area. • • • 1 f a THE MAYOR DELCARED A RECESS FROM 8:45 to 9:00 P.M. January 8, 1980 • On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Powell, that the City of Stillwater make a recommendation to the Metropolitan Health Board that we support the EMS application for Stillwater. Ambulance Service for the Oakdale Service Area. (all in favor) 7. Mr. Kriesel informed the Council regarding the mediation with the Firefighter's Association on January 7, 1980 and an impasse has been declared in this matter. The City offered $104 per month in salary over three years plus an increase of $32.00 per month for hospital /medical coverage - this would be 100% of the single coverage and 75% of the family coverage; the Firefighters counter - offered with a salary increase of $176 in 1980 and 100% of the single coverage and 75% of the dependent coverage and for 1981 they want a cost of living increase of 5% plus 85% of the difference between 5% and the cost of living; also in 1981 they want 1007, single coverange and 100% of the family coverage with an additional 7§% clause in the longevity clause after 15 years, and we will be going into arbitration. The City offered the Public Works 60c per hour over the next thee years which comes out to $104 per month plus an additional day and half holiday day - the day after Thanksgiving and a half day either before Christmas or New Years. The City Coordinator was instructed to release the News Release on this matter which he had prepared. MR. MAGNUSON stated that the Mediator will send the three issues to the City for a written statement on their final positions on these and then it is certified to the Arbitrator. The arbitrator is not bound to pick either position - he can pick middle ground if he would like, but after July 1st it will be difference - he will have to either pick the City's proposal or the employee's proposal and he felt that the intent of that law was to make the offers more reasonable in the beginning. CONSULTING ENGINEER'S REPORT 1. MR. ELLIOTT reviewed with the Council his most recent report on the Lily Lake Level and the pumping of the same. This was an update of the 1974 report. He briefly reviewed this report with the Council with the use of the special map that was prepared showing the areas that are contributory to Lily Lake and McKusick Lake. The total area for the Lily Lake Drainage is about 700 acres and the surface area of Lily Lake is 26 acres - the McKusick Lake drainage area is 485 acres and the lake surface area is about 46 acres. There is a pipe under Owens Street to take care of the overflow fro McKusick Lake and he cited the capacity of this pipe. He felt that there is no alternative other than pumping to correct the situation with a permanent pumping station - there had been discussion about using the Cristifuli Pump, but he felt that a permanent one would be a better long range solution. He stated that both reports have been sent to the DNR and in a telephone conversation they have little objection to the proposal as the City would be protecting Brown's Creek be assessed or financed. Most of these same people have already been assessed for storm sewers and since the City does maintain a recreation facility on the south side of the lake it would be more of a City wide benefit This project would improve the quality of the water in Lily Lake and also control the levels. The cost of the project is $21,000. The date of February 12, 1980 was set for an imformational hearing on the proposed pumping of Lily Lake. 2. MR. ELLIOTT asked about the status of the Augustine Plat and COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that Mr. Folz was to get information from Mr. Elliott as to the drainage pattern for this property and come back to the Joint Powers. MR. ELLIOTT stated that he reported at the Joint Powers meeting that it is necessary that storm sewers be constructed in order to satisfy the drainge of the Augustine Plat which is immediately south of the Forest Hills Addition which has no storm sewers - there is no way that they will approve the Augustine Plat without providing some storm sewers - the Joint Powers had asked for his opinion on the street grade, utilities and drainage and he did present that report to the Joint Poers and it is feasible that all of those things be resolved and can be solved and in order to do it in detail he felt that the plat would have to be brought before the Council if approved by the Joint Poers and a request for an engineering study be done on it - that would require some field survey wok in order to determine the route of the storm sewer which would have to go through the Forest Hills Addition and some of this would have to across some streets that are proposed for surfacing next spring and could not go down 61st Street due to the elevation. There should be a peition from these people for this work before the Council can proceed. L • • • ■ • • • 0 1t4 January 8, 1980 He also made reference to the platting of some of the Outlots in the Industrial Park which were discussed earlier this evening and he felt that the City should sit down with these people to find out what their plans are for this property - he was looking for some better communications between the Joint Powers and the City of Stillwater. His current response to the Joint Powers, if ordered by the City Council to provide some information to the Joint Powers, he is doing it and did not feel that he could operate on his own, but totalling through Mr. Kriesel. 3. MR. ELLIOTT stated that the I/I action taken this evening was very timely since the application for these funds has not been made by MWCC to PCA for the million dollars but it is suppose to go in next week. 4. MR. ELLIOTT commented on the article written by Mr. Broede on a $30,000 "desk - Lop" study and he confirmed the fact that the previous report was a "desk -top" study - the new study there will be meters set in the system and there is a great deal of field work to be done in this and is not a so- called "desk top" study. COMMITTEE REPORTS PUBLIC SAFETY 1. On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilman Harry Peterson, the Council authorized the attendance of Bruo:Klosowsky to the Sexual Abuse Seminar on January 30, 31 and February 1, 1980 and said expenses to be paid by the School District. (all in favor) 2. On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilman Harry Peterson, Chief Abrahamson and Firefighter Robert Barthol were authorized to attend the Arson Investigation School at Arden Hills on February 5, 6, 7 and 8, 1980. (all in favor) PUBLIC WORKS 1. MR. SHELTON reported that Jeff Junket and Dave Reichow will be going to the sewer school on January 23, 24 and 25, 1980. Originally it was approved for Jeff and George Deithart to go, but Mr. Reichow will go in place of Mr. Diethert. 2. On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council authorized Mr. Shelton to secure quotes on two pickup trucks for the Public Works Department. (all in favor) 3. Mr. Shelton reported that on the street light request on the Frontage Road that the Northern States Power Co. was out here the other day and there is no way that this light can be put until spring and he will notify the Hooleys that this is the earliest date. 4. MR. SHELTON reported that they will be hauling snow to the old dumpsite starting tonite and that there is very little wood left and he suggested that an article be placed in the Gazette regarding the fact there will be no more wood until possibly next fall. On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council directed that the City Coordinator place a news item in the paper regarding the availability of wood at the old sumpsite. (all in favor) PARKS AND RECREATION 1. MR. BLEKUM reported to the Council regarding a meeting that he had this evening with the River Valley Lions regarding the improvements for the Pioneer Park area - they have engaged a landscape architect from Park Nursery to formalize and draw some plans and they have a proposal which will be presented to the Lions Club at their next meeting on Monday and at the next Council meeting. The total cost is about $13,000 to $20,000 and they hope to raise this money in conjunction with other organizations within the area and they have a committee setup to get the money. The plans are that it will be nothing but preparation next summer and the first plantings may go in the fall. 2. MR. BLEKUM reported that at the last Recreation Commission they studied the rate study for the Arena and they made a recommendtion at the rate for Ice Time next year be set at $47.50 for everyone for any time - no differential for time or organizations and this takes Council approval. MR. KRIESEL stated that Mr. Sweeltna would like to be present when this matter is discussed and this matter was held over for the January 22nd meeting. • • J • • • January 8, 1980 BUILDING OFFICIAL MR. SNELSON presented to the Council copies of the annual report from his department for 1979 for their revirw and study. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT 1. MR. MAGNUSON briefed the City Council on the Melton condemnation which is a piece of land 95 feet by 435 feet and the City acquired 30 feet of it for the road - the argument that the City has been making all along is in a prior deed about five owners back from Melton, there was a promise that the owners would convey to the City, if needed, the right -of -way from this piece and the Melton's never had notice of that - the issue was finally resolved by agreeing that it was during the taking of a private easement for a public purpose and, therefore, the land owner is entitled to certain condemnation at the rate of one -half of what the market value would be. It was complicated further by the fact that after the condemnation that the lot is no longer really buildable - they argued that it was really 100 feet wide which was a buildable parcel and now it is 70 feet wide which is less than minimum standards - the City argued that it was 95 feet to begin with which was less than the 100 feet which was needed initially. The Commissioners came in with $20,000 as an award which is approximately $1.50 per square foot for the land taken. Our testimony based on our figures would be one -half of that or $10,500 - that is beyond our appraisal but he felt that it would be his advice to accept it. Right now he is involved with Joint Powers to get a permit to do things and he has been turned down a couple of times and he felt that we should not take an appeal. MR. KRIESEL stated that we have already assessed on Local Improvement No. 127 -1 the amount of $10,000 and he felt that the way it should be handled is to pay the $20,000 from the debt - service fund and twenty years from now when those bonds become due the City will have to provide another $10,000 to retire the balance of that debt. MR. MAGNUSON stated that there could be a re- assessment of this additional $10,000, and the Meltons have a right to appeal this in District Court and he did not know what their position will be. The City will also have to pay the Commissioner's fees. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Powell, the Council authorized the payment of the $20,000 to the Meltons's and the Commissioner's fees for the condemnation of the property in the Stillwater Industrial Park area. (all in favor) COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON asked if the payment of this claim would commit the City in any way to approve the use of the remaining parcel of land - grant any variances from the zoning requirements, etc. - there is going to be a public hearing on this before the Joint Powers next week. MR. MAGNUSON stated what the law says on that if the remanent can be put to any use then it is not a total taking - there are some uses that could be undertaken out there other than a used car lot - there are somethings that could fit on that parcel - what they want the City to do is widen that intersection and take the whole thing and be done with it - the City is not bound to have them put a used car lot there, but some reasonable use of it. This case was settled for $8,500 and the agreement was made and the Council had authorized it and then before the checks were made out and sent over there, he was turned down by the Joint Powers on a requdst of some kind and it was all off and he had to go back to the commissioners for a new hearing on it. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Powell, the Council authorized the payment of the $20,000 plus the commissioner's fees for the condemnation award for the Melton property. (all in favor) 2. MR. MAGNUSON reported on the award for the Erickson property - the award is $113,500.00 which is for about one acre - the original appraisal which the City had from Eldon Robey was about $73,000 prior to the hearing when we got to the Commissioner's hearing he updated his appraisal to $93,000 - Erickson's appraiser testified that it was worth $130,000. He felt that what the commissioners did was to split the difference and that amounts to about $2.50 per square foot and this would be on the high side, and felt that this was a reasonable figure and that the City should accept it. Ten years ago the City paid five to ten dollars per square foot for the Reed Parking Lot - this is a peculiar site in that it is uniquely suited to this sort of operation that Erickson has - the traffic flow, the accessibility to the highway, the grade and he brought evidence to the Commissioners that he still has the authority and allocation from the Federal government for a million gallons a year and he could have made a lot of money from this site. He may very well appeal this award. On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilman Powell the Council accepted the Commissioners award of $113,500 for the Erickson property on South Main Street. (all in favor) • • • • • • • January 8, 1980 r MR. MAGNUSON said that what this means is that the Council is going to have to find a way to pay for this $113,500 along with the $70,000 improvement of the project. The statutes say that if the City assesses 51% of the cost of that project somehow or other than we don't need a referendum - if we assess less than that then we do need a referendum and has to be approved by the voters. The Downtown businessmen have pledged in a real informal way something around $80,000 which is not 51% - the other thing about that pledge would not be equally and fairly as to the closeness of the parking area - he felt that the Council should adopt some kind of an assessment policy of the kind that North St. Paul has used where it is assessed on the different proximity to the parking lot, available on -site parking spaces and possible expansion of sites and then the whole downtown area would be assessed for it and he felt that would be more fair. There were questions raised about the total cost of the improvement and how it could be paid for - the land is the biggest share of the cost and the whole downtown district was notified of the improvement hearing which was the flood plain district. It was felt that we should have a cost estimate of the parking lot again and we should get one: that will be useful, practical and the least expensive - the value of the parking lot has not changed because in the summertime the City needs that parking. MR. ELLIOTT was directed to come up with some new figures on these costs for the next regular meeting and Mr. Elliott reminded the Council of the letter that they received from the DOT a couple of weeks ago and on the highway related improvements at one time they were going to pay 100% of them and they are now only paying 75% of these costs. There was discussion about the plans for the filling station and these files will be available for the next Council meeting. On motion of Councilman Harry Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council rescinded the earlier motion to accept the award and that this matter be laid on the table until the next regular Council meeting. (Councilman Roger Peterson opposed - motion carried) COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS 1. MAYOR JUN &ER Made comments about the editorial which appeared in the Gazette after the meeting which pertained to the manner in which the Council meetings are conducated. There was discussion on the agenda at this time - all hearings will start at 7:45 P. M. 2. MR. KRIESEL informed the Council that the City has to have an audit of the Revenue Sharing Funds. On motion of Councilman Harry Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the Council appointed DeLaHunt & Voto to do the Revenue Sharing Audit for the City of Stillwater. (all in favor) 3.
