provided an update on flood preparations, including procurement of sandbags, Jersey barriers,
pumps and emergency lights.
On a question by Councilmember Roush, it was noted the City has purchased the Jersey

PUBLIC HEARINGS
This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider the possible adoption of a
spending plan for Stillwater TIF District #1 in compliance with Minn. Stat. X469.176, Subd.
4m Notice was published in the Stillwater Gazette on February 4. 2011
Community Development Director Turnblad spoke about economic development and recent
special legislation which allows more flexibility in how Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds
are expended. He pointed out this special legislation is meant to assist private businesses, with a
focus of creating/maintaining jobs. He also noted that in order to take advantage of the special
legislation, the City needs to adopt a spending plan; he indicated that the plan is not a
commitment to actually expend the funds, but is required in order for the City to consider
projects as they come along.
City Planner Mike Pogge reviewed the proposed spending plan, which includes a downtown
fagade program and commercial building fund. He explained that the fagade program was listed
in the original TIF District l financing plan, but was never implemented. He added that the
legislation would allow the City to expand the fagade program to all downtown businesses, not
Page 2 of 11
City Council Meeting
February 15, 2011
just those in TIF District 1. He indicated that the proposal is to initially allocate $500,000 to the
fagade program, with up to $1 million in funding included in the spending plan. Regarding the
commercial building renovation fund, he reported that staff has been in discussion with several
individuals regarding possible projects in the West Business Park and the downtown area. He
suggested that including this fund in the spending plan gives the City the flexibility to fund
projects as they might be proposed.
Councilmember Roush asked about the disposition of repayment of any loans that might be
made through the program; Mr. Pogge replied that it would be considered TIF increment and
would revert back to the various taxing authorities if the loans were repaid after the expiration
of the TIF district. In discussion it was noted the incentives would be in the form of grants or
loans at the Council's discretion.
Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing. No comments were received, and the hearing was
closed.
Mayor Harycki expressed that he had serious reservations about the City playing banker,
passing out taxpayer funds on what may not be the most efficient projects. Mayor Harycki
added that the City has the option of returning the money to the various taxing districts, which
might enable the City to pull down the budget or bolster the street improvement program. He
also indicated that it has been suggested the City consider forming a redevelopment authority,
which would focus on brining jobs to the area. Mayor Harycki stated that he would like to know
more about what a redevelopment authority might be able to do for the City.
On a question by Councilmember Roush, Mr. Pogge responded the legislation requires that any
project that utilizes the authority provided by the special legislation must start construction by
July 1, 2011; he reviewed the proposed timeframe for the facade program to meet the July 1
deadline.
City Administrator Hansen explained that, from his experience, economic development
authorities and housing redevelopment authorities work out well in large cities, and that most
smaller communities usually find that creating one of those entities results in another
bureaucratic level of government. Mr. Hansen noted that, oftentimes, a council will appoint
itself as the economic development or similar authority. Mr. Hansen urged the Council to
consider approving the proposed spending plan at this time due to the timeline, noting that the
plan doesn't commit the City to fund any projects /programs.
Councilmember Polehna asked about other projects, such as sewer separation, that might be
funded, and Mr. Hansen answered that this plan represents no commitment, it is a first step.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution
2011 -27, adoption of a spending plan for Stillwater TIF District #1 in compliance with Minn. Stat.
§469.176, Subd. 4m spending plan.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Polehna and Roush
Nays: Mayor Harycki
Mr. Hansen informed the Council that he had asked City Attorney Magnuson to research issues
related to the formation of the special authorities, such as an economic development authority.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible approval of Cost Recovery Rate Schedule
Fire Chief Glaser reviewed the proposed cost recovery rate for the fire department and the
public works department.
On a question by Councilmember Cook, it was noted a proposal will be coming from the police
department.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to adopt Resolution
2011 -28, approval of Cost Recovery Rate Schedule for the Fire and Public Works Departments.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
Abstain: Councilmember Menikheim
Possible approval Downtown Facade project
City Planner Pogge reviewed the proposed guidelines for the downtown facade program. He
noted the possibility of such a program has generated a lot of interest and referred to some of the
possible projects. He explained that, as proposed, this would be a combination grant /loan
program. A grant could be used to cover up to 25% of the cost of a project, up to $25,000, with
loans, in the form of a special assessment, of up to $75,000 to cover the remaining costs. He
reviewed the timelines involved due to the special legislation and expiration of TIF District 1,
and indicated that the recommendation is to have an initial cutoff date of April 15, 2011, for
receipt of applications.
Councilmember Cook spoke in support of the program, but asked whether there might not be
the same amount of interest in participation if offered entirely as a loan program, expressing a
concern about providing taxpayer money to private business owners.
Councilmember Roush agreed with the concern about offering grants.
Mayor Harycki reiterated his concern about the City playing banker. He suggested it is in a
property owner's best interest to maintain a building with a good appearance and that private
sector loans are available to do that. Mayor Harycki stated that he would favor returning the TIF
funds to the various taxing districts, which would allow the City to decide what it wants to do
with the money, such as offset property taxes or pay off a bond.
City Administrator Hansen reiterated that this is no commitment to fund any projects; if the
Council determines a project isn't worthy of a grant or loan, then the Council can deny funding.
Mr. Hansen added this preserves an option for the City.
City Planner Pogge pointed out the City has provided incentives for larger businesses in the
past, and this is aimed at assistance for the smaller business owner that might not have the
resources available that the large corporation does.
Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to adopt Resolution 2011-
29, approving the Guidelines for the Downtown Stillwater Fagade Program.
On a question by Councilmember Polehna, Mr. Pogge listed some of the advantages of
obtaining a loan through this program versus going through a private lender and the incentives
this program might provide for historic preservation efforts. In discussion, it was noted proposed
projects would go through a review by the Heritage Preservation Commission.

Nays: Mayor Harycki
Discussion of Lift Bridge Strategies
Mayor Harycki reviewed the report of an engineer, retained by the History Channel, on the
condition of the lift bridge and MnDOT's most recent sufficiency rating of the lift bridge of
32.8, which is below the 35W bridge level when it collapsed. In later discussion, it was noted
the Stillwater bridge will be featured in a History Channel report on crumbling infrastructure.
Mayor Harycki expressed a number of items of concern raised by the engineer, several of which
were observed during a walking tour of the bridge. Mayor Harycki stated that it was very
disturbing to see the condition of the structure, and that he believes the bridge is unsafe and that
the Council's original inclination to vote to have the bridge closed is the right thing to do. He
suggested that the Council should take strong action regarding the position to get the bridge
closed.
Councilmember Menikheim pointed out the lift bridge is a full 8 points below the next worst
rated bridge in the metro district. He noted the bridge is categorized as being structurally
deficient and functionally obsolete, and that as good stewards of the City, the Council should
take action to shut the bridge down.
Mayor Harycki indicated that he would like to City to take legal action to have the bridge
closed, and enumerated the number of presidents who have dealt with this issue. He also
suggested suing to get the name of the lift bridge changed, saying he did not want the name
Stillwater associated with crumbling infrastructure. He also suggested placing warning signs on
the bridge.
There was discussion about the City's priority not in getting a new bridge, but getting the traffic
out of downtown, which is destroying the infrastructure.
Councilmember Menikheim stated he thought there were two approaches to be taken: legal
action and working for legislative action.
City Attorney Magnuson responded that it would be difficult for the City to sue the state to take
action. However, Mr. Magnuson referred to a lawsuit involving the City and the Department of
Natural Resources and subsequent stipulation which limits the number of boat launches from the
launch site at the former Mulberry Point and St. Croix Marina's dry stack building to 1973
levels. Mr. Magnuson reported that increasing the number of launches above 1973 levels was
viewed as a violation of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and he suggested that same argument
might apply to the Stillwater lift bridge. Mr. Magnuson added that, if directed to do so, he could
pursue that argument, as well as seek an order, perhaps of the federal court, that the Minnesota
Department of Transportation be ordered to shut down the bridge. There was discussion as to
possible cost of filing a suit; Mr. Magnuson replied that he could bring back additional
information at the next Council meeting.
Councilmember Cook noted lawsuits are expensive and lengthy and suggested pursuing other
options for putting pressure on MnDOT to get the bridge closed, perhaps inviting local media to
tour the bridge. After discussion, it was agreed to ask local legislators to take a tour of the
bridge, with the engineer Mayor Harycki mentioned earlier in the discussion, available for
information/questions.
Page 5 of 11
City Council Meeting
February 15, 2011
Councilmember Roush suggested inviting both state and federal representatives to take the
walking tour. It also was agreed to have Mr. Magnuson report back at the next Council meeting
regarding a potential lawsuit.
Regarding contracting for lobbying services, Mr. Hansen replied that there is no money
available in the existing budget for that service.
Fire Chief Glaser asked whether the Council wanted the fire department vehicles to cross the lift
bridge, as the City has mutual -aid agreements with several Wisconsin entities. It was agreed to
have Mr. Hanson contact the engineer in question to schedule a tour.
After additional discussion, Mayor Harycki suggested informing mutual -aid communities in
Wisconsin that the City is concerned with the safety of sending firefighters and equipment
across the bridge.
Councilmember Cook asked Mr. Sanders to check with the city of Minneapolis regarding what
led to the immediate closure of the Plymouth Avenue bridge.
Councilmember Menikheim spoke of the importance of developing a strategic plan of actions,
such as efforts aimed at public relations, writing letters and editorials, etc. It was agreed to
schedule the walking tour as soon as possible, with the Council to meet before /after the tour,
perhaps at the Water Street Inn.
NEW BUSINESS
Possible approval to purchase a switch for the Emergency Operations Center
City Administrator Hansen referred to the memo in the packet, and noted that the City has been
preparing the police and fire training room to serve as the emergency operations center. He
indicated that a lot of money has been expended equipping the room, however, one piece
lacking is the switch described in Ms. Holman's memo. The cost of the switch is $1,463. He
added that the cost is not budgeted, but Ms. Holman believes she has some savings in other
accounts that could be utilized for the purchase. He pointed out that the emergency operations
center likely will be used during the upcoming flood event, and he recommends approval of the
requested purchase.
Councilmember Roush noted this is a critical piece of equipment.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution
2011 -30, approving the Purchase of Switch for the Emergency Operations Center.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
Possible approval of Rec Center indoor air quality testing equipment
Doug Brady was present to request the purchase of new air monitoring equipment for the
Recreation Center and Lily Lake. He reported that indoor air quality must meet Department of
Health standards, and that there is a new technology available, which they have been testing
with the manufacturer and the Minnesota Department of Health since June. He indicated that
the Department of Health has certified the equipment as meeting that agency's new standards.
He briefly described the difference between the old and new monitoring systems, and stated that
he believes the savings achieved by the new system will pay for the purchase over time.

City Council Meeting
February 15, 2011
On a question by Mayor Harycki, Mr. Brady responded that this purchase is a capital outlay
item that was planned.
Councilmember Polehna noted this is a health and safety issue.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution 2011-
31, approving the Purchase of PPM System for St. Croix Recreation Center.
Councilmember Roush asked how long it might take for the system to recover costs, and Mr.
Brady replied that he anticipated about 4 years.
Aye: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
Possible approval of feasibility report and calling for hearing on 2011 Street Improvement
rp oiect
Assistant Engineer Kraftson reviewed the proposed project area. He noted the streets selected
for reconstruction were rated in poor or worst condition in the 2010 pavement management
plan, while streets selected for mill and overlay were rated in fair condition. Mr. Kraftson
indicated that galvanized water services will be replaced in conjunction with the project, with
some storm sewer rehabilitation, replacement of catch basin and 5 fire hydrants. He added that
the project also will include some infiltration basins on Wilkins Street, improvements to two
ponds between Amundson Drive and the golf course to meet Minnesota Pollution Control
requirements, as well as several rain gardens. He pointed out that the proposal is to reduce the
width of Wilkins Street through the installation of bump -outs that will include basins for
stormwater infiltration, as well as improve pedestrian safety, and serve as a traffic calming
measure. He reported that the proposal regarding the bump -outs was presented at the
neighborhood meetings, with a good response received.
Mr. Kraftson addressed plans for narrowing the street and eliminating on- street parking on
portions of Wilkins between Fourth and First streets, which represents a compromise after
talking with the impacted property owners.
On a question by Mayor Harycki, Mr. Kraftson responded that there is not a lot that can be done
to lessen the grade of the street.
Mr. Kraftson reviewed proposed street widths with new curb, and possible trail /sidewalk
improvements for Wilkins. He noted that due to overwhelming response, trail improvements for
Amundson has been eliminated from consideration. He indicated that the Comprehensive Plan
calls for trail improvements from 4th Street to William Street, and new trail or sidewalk from
William to Owens. He explained that surveys were sent to 40 residents on Wilkins Street
between Owens and 4th Street that would be impacted by any decision, and that 20 responses
were received, with 15 in favor of leaving the existing sidewalks and 5 favoring replacing the
sidewalk with a new trail.
On a separate question regarding a new trail or sidewalk from William to Owens Street, 12
favored leaving the block as is with no trail or sidewalk, with 8 in favor of installing a new trail
or sidewalk. He enumerated some of the comments received with the surveys. He showed
Comprehensive Plan trail maps for the area in question, as well as the park and sidewalk plan,
noting there is a missing block of sidewalk between William and Owens. He listed five
alternatives for consideration.
Page 7 of 11
City Council Meeting
February 15, 2011
Mayor Harycki indicated that he would not favor pulling up existing sidewalks to put in a wider
trail system, and suggested focusing on Option 3 (leaving the existing sidewalk in place between
4th and William Street, with new sidewalk on both sides of the street between William and
Owens), referring to the number of children walking to school.
Councilmember Cook agreed and stated that she had received feedback from people not in favor
of a new trail, but she thinks extending the sidewalk to Owens makes sense. She noted the
difference in cost of assessment is relatively small.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to accept Option 3. All in
favor.
Mr. Kraftson reviewed estimated cost, proposed financing, proposed assessment policy and
rates, and preliminary assessment amounts. He reported some of the comments received during
the neighborhood meetings, and possible project timeframe.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution 2011-
32, approving Receiving Report and Calling Hearing on 2011 Street Improvement Project (Project
2011 -02).
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
Possible approval of resolution describing emergency procedures
Mayor Harycki pointed out that currently there is nothing in City ordinance which allows staff
to respond to emergency situations.
City Attorney Magnuson reviewed state statute related to local emergencies which lists the types
of actions that can be done without the time - consuming procedures and formalities that
generally are part of municipal government. Mr. Magnuson informed the Council the statute
stipulates that the only way a local emergency can be declared, is by the mayor of a local
community, and the state of emergency only lasts for three days unless a city council extends
the emergency.
Councilmember Roush asked if it would be prudent to have a spending limit in place; and City
Administrator Hansen responded that the Council could do that, but noted unless he knew what
the emergency was, he wouldn't know what the expenditures should be.
City Attorney Magnuson pointed out that this proposal is modeled after Washington County's
and represents standard policy. He suggested that it is necessary for the city administrator to be
trusted in an emergency to act quickly and decisively to alleviate the emergency conditions.
Councilmember Menikheim pointed out that, as written, this policy only authorizes the Mayor
or Administrator to take the described actions and wondered what would happen in the event
that neither of those persons were available; it was agreed to change the language to include the
vice mayor as an authorized person under the policy.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution
2011 -33, a resolution describing emergency procedures, with the amended language.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim, Polehna, Roush and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None

Possible approval of Water Street Inn land acquisition /Downtown Pedestrian Plaza
City Planner Pogge reviewed the status of negotiations with the Water Street Inn to purchase a
parcel of property that the City needs for desired alignment of the pedestrian plaza. He
indicated that agreement has been reached on all but one issue. He reviewed the tentative
agreement, including a description of the property involved and the 8 considerations to be
provided to the Water Street Inn in exchange for the property. He noted the remaining issue is
the possible vacation of the parking easement the City retains over the Water Street Inn parking
lot. He added that if the City gives up the easement, it would provide the Water Street Inn with
a future building site that might not require a height variance, which would be of great value to
the Water Street Inn owner. Mr. Pogge expressed that because of this, staff recommends against
the release of the parking easement.
There was discussion of impact on parking spaces. Mr. Turnblad stated that the area by the
pedestrian plaza, as proposed, would gain quite a few parking spaces.
Chuck Dougherty, owner of the Water Street Inn, was present. Councilmember Menikheim
asked if it was the intent to build on the parking lot, and Mr. Dougherty responded that was
always planned as a phase of development of the property.
Councilmember Polehna expressed concern about Item 7 (trash enclosure), noting this has been
a long- standing issue. He questioned spending taxpayer money to build a dumpster enclosure
that was supposed to have been built years ago by the owner as part of the development
agreement.
Mr. Pogge noted this is not unlike previous efforts to assist in improving trash enclosures in the
downtown area, and Mayor Harycki noted this would be an opportunity to clean up the area.
Councilmember Cook questioned the cost for reconstructing the Water Street Inn parking lots
that would be paid for by a special assessment loan; and Mr. Sanders responded that it is
estimated at about $40,000.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Mayor Harycki, to approve Water Street Inn land
acquisition /Downtown Pedestrian Plaza and staff's recommendation of providing
considerations /compensation listed as Items 1 -8.
Councilmembers Cook and Polehna questioned the value of what the City will be receiving
versus what it will be paying. Mr. Pogge answered that not obtaining the property in question
would substantially disrupt the pedestrian plaza, noting that one of the goals when the plaza was
first envisioned was to provide a clear view from Main Street to the river. He added that
without the property, that visual connection would be lost. Mr. Pogge also referred to an
appraisal that placed the value of the property the City would gain, assuming it is 100%
encumbered, at $35,000. He indicated that the Water Street Inn would be receiving
compensation above that amount, but suggested it is a very small amount overall.
Councilmember Cook stated, including the possible amount of the loan and the other items,
compensation/costs to the City total $92,180 for 1,000 square feet of land and would position
the Water Street Inn property so there would be a buildable site for future development.
Mr. Pogge pointed out that it is City policy to compensate businesses for the loss of parking,
noting it is the City that is causing the need to reconfigure the parking lot, and suggested the real
costs to the City would be the $38,000 and up to $10,000 for the trash enclosure. He added that
the cost of the parking lot reconstruction is a loan to the property owner to be repaid, with
interest.

City Council Meeting
February 15, 2011
There was additional discussion about the trash enclosure. On a question by Councilmember
Cook, Mr. Pogge responded that the relocation of the street curb and utilities in the existing
Water Street right -of -way is an attempt to provide Mr. Dougherty with the land so he can build
a parking lot with the same number of spaces as he currently has.
Councilmember Menikheim verified that the motion on the floor included approval of items 1 -8
and not the parking easement.
