Mr. Adam Josephson, MnDOT East Area Manager, reviewed the open issues of the bridge. Congress has a bill before them that will be up for a vote soon. If approval is received, they are looking at a January 2014 letting date. Design work will begin shortly after approval. A load test project was done two years ago to put footings in the river and test the soils. This is needed for efficient design of the footings. With approval, a new test will be done in the spring of 2012. Shoddy Mill Warehouse was looked at for relocation from Oak Park Heights to Stillwater, and is a mitigation item. He presented a cost estimate handout that explained how the number of nearly $700 million was determined. The bridge itself is estimated at $292 million. Much of the rest is approach work for the TH36— Oakgreen/Greeley intersection, Minnesota approach, Wisconsin approach, right of way, mitigation estimate, contingency and risk, and engineering. Cost splits are shown on the handout. Minnesota has funds set aside in the State Transportation Improvement program. State bonds will cover $200 million (Chapter 152 dollars), set aside by the legislature in 2008. Federal bridge funds will cover about $160 million. Wisconsin has about $225 million in state bonds available. Councilmember Roush asked what the preliminary feeling on the footings is as far as the high risk contingency range. Mr. Josephson answered that he feels they can bring the risk contingency down, although soils in the bottom of the river are mucky, so there are challenges. Mr. Josephson went over the diagonal bridge concept proposed as the "Sensible Stillwater Bridge Partnership Alternative," an idea that has a long history with the project. The current diagonal concept proposed by this group has been modified from earlier concepts, but the location of the diagonal crossing and many of the impacts to protected resources remain similar to the 1999 concept and the alternates studied in the Stakeholder /EIS process. It was reviewed again August 2011. City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 The diagonal concept has the following four key areas of concern: (1) Significant Additional Environmental Impact; (2) Lengthy schedule delay; (3) Concept cost savings overstated; and (4) Wild and Scenic River Act. Councilmember Cook thanked Mr. Josephson for coming to the meeting and asked if he was involved in the original stakeholder process. He replied that he was not, though he monitored it from the office. Ms. Cook wondered why the only options considered (ABCDE) were 65 m.p.h., and slower ones were not considered as possibilities. Mr. Josephson responded that in the handout entitled Diagonal Bridge Concept, design speed was not 65 m.p.h. for all the alternatives; D and E are 40 m.p.h. The preferred alternative is 55 m.p.h., and there are transitional areas through intersections at lower speeds. Speeds are based on engineering design studies for a safe and reasonable speed as well as Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) studies. Projected traffic volumes are enough to warrant a four -lane crossing. Traffic counts on the state's highways are done every one to two years by MnDOT. Met Council figures are updated every 10 years. Ms. Cook expressed concerns about the chronic congestion in Stillwater, and asked if there was anything MnDOT could do to assist the City in the interim. Mr. Josephson pointed out that some things have been done such as signal timing, but due to the limited and challenging environment there is little that can be done. Through traffic must be diverted out of the downtown area, and perhaps electronic signs could direct traffic away from Main Street while the lift bridge is up. A transit feasibility study determined that the transit demand in the east metro area is best handled on the Hwy 94 corridor. Employers are encouraged to stagger starting and ending times of shifts, and suggest that workers participate in ride -share programs. Councilmember Cook stated that we know moving Shoddy Mill is the City's responsibility, but what other costs will be incurred? Mr. Josephson responded that costs are detailed in agreements already signed, such as traffic signals, moving utilities, etc., and are included on a cost spreadsheet previously presented. Ms. Cook then asked how fracture critical is defined. Mr. Josephson referred to page 3 of "St. Croix Bridge Term Definition." The term refers to a scenario of back -up features in the event of failure of, for example, a bridge support or truss, whereby if one area were damaged, the remaining areas would continue to support the bridge. Mayor Harycki asked if the diagonal bridge will impact the city's neighborhoods. Mr. Josephson responded that one of the down sides is that the proposed bridge is a three -lane bridge where the center lane is a reversible lane until it meets Highway 36 and becomes four lanes. Excavation would have impact on the homes. Widening the river way is not practical and would most likely not be approved by the Parks Service. There are peak preferences of direction, but traffic is very heavy both ways on weekends. Thus the two -lane way is able to handle the traffic, but the one -lane way is not. This concept has been looked at and rejected at least three times, partially due to unfavorable environmental and historical impacts. STAFF REPORTS Police Chief Gannaway reported about Code Red training that the Police and Fire Departments attended, indicating that it is an Emergency Community Notification Network for all of Washington County. It is a versatile online web -based notification system that immediately notifies residents of dangerous situations or other emergency information. - He added that annual cost is based on population. Page 2 of 12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Deputy Fire Chief Ballis invited council to a dinner kicking off Fire Prevention Week that will be served between meetings today. Community Development Director Turnblad gave an update on the Brown's Creek Trail purchase. He pointed out that the DNR, as of September 30th, officially elected the option of purchasing the land and are waiting on title work before closing. The first open house on master planning for the trail will be on October 19 at the Stillwater Public Library. More information is on the website. Mr. Turnblad then stated that bids were received for the fire station feasibility study, and some came in lower than expected. A recommendation will be available at the next council meeting. Public Works Director Sanders reported that the levy wall proposed schedule will be submitted to PCA for approval and clean -up work should be started shortly. Plans will be modified to fit the scope of the project. Plans and specs should be done by January 2012. He noted the revised cost estimate based on overall numbers for the project, that underground work is expected to begin in May 2012, and that parking lot work can begin in the summer. Director Sanders will keep in touch with PCA over the next few months. Mayor Harycki complimented the department on the Wilkins Street project. City Attorney Magnuson commented on the number of objections that have been filed to the assessments, and suggested that the assessment roll be adopted as it is, due to obligations of the Finance Director to mail notices of final assessment, with 30 days to pay, and then certify delinquent accounts to the County. He indicated that Notice of Appeals must be filed in the District Court within 30 days of adoption. Mr. Magnuson suggested that he and Public Works Director Sanders be directed to meet with each individual who provided an objection to the assessments and make a recommendation at the next meeting as to whether or not an assessment should be reduced. The meeting was recessed at 5:34 p.m. RECESSED MEETING Mayor Harycki called the recessed meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. Present: Councilmembers Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Absent: Councilmember Cook Staff present: City Attorney Magnuson Finance Director Harrison Fire Chief Glaser Police Chief Gannaway Community Development Director Turnblad Public Works Director Sanders Admin Secretary Manos PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Harycki led the Council and audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. 7:00 PM Page 3 of 12 City Council Meeting APPROVAL OF MINUTES October 4, 2011 Motion by Councilmember Roush, second by Councilmember Polehna, to approve the minutes from the August 16, 2011 executive meeting, September 6, 2011 regular, recessed and closed meeting, and September 13, 2011 regular meeting.

Deputy Fire Chief Ballis invited the community to the open house and highlighted safety concerns and precautions. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. NEW BUSINESS Possible approval of Noise Variance for Acapulco Restaurant United Way gathering Mayor Harycki moved Item #31 on the agenda under new business to this point due to a time conflict. Community Development Director Turnblad indicated that Acapulco Restaurant and the United Way of Washington County East will host the 6 th Annual Casino Night on Friday, October 14, from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. He noted that the applicant received permission from the property owners, and that the event will be held entirely on private property and will not require the use of any City resources. Therefore, an event permit is not necessary. The benefit location is far from any residential property and sound transmission to the north is blocked by Valley Ridge Center, staff recommends that Council review and take action on the request to waive the 10 p.m. music limit and extend it to 11:30 p.m. for the Casino Night benefit. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to approve the 11:30 p.m. variance to the noise ordinance. Motion passed unanimously.

This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider the assessments for the 2011 Street Improvement Project. Notices were mailed to affected property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on September 2, September 12, and September 16, 2011. City Attorney Magnuson reiterated his suggestion that the assessment roll be adopted as it is, due to obligations of the Finance Director to mail out notices. There were seven property owners who appealed their assessments. Their next step is that in order to perfect their appeal, they file a petition in district court within 30 days. Staff should meet with each of these people individually before the next meeting to see if some resolution can be worked out without Page 5 of 12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 incurring legal expenses. Staff can then report any adjustment recommended at the next meeting. Assistant City Engineer Kraftson highlighted the process and schedule for street improvement projects. They have had 12 meetings since December 2010, approving plans and bids. He displayed a map of the streets they have been working on in 2011. The project is completed except for restoration, signage, and a few other items. Project costs are projected to come in 3% below the engineer's estimate. The cost of the galvanized water service replacement was 33% below the feasibility estimate. Preliminary assessments and final assessments are listed in the table presented, showing a decrease in the final assessments. Deferred assessments are proposed for 14 parcels that are vacant or have potential to be subdivided. Assessments can be paid in a lump sum with no interest, or they can be paid over 10 years with 4% interest. Staff recommends that Council hold the assessment hearing, adopt the attached assessment rolls for the 2011 Street Improvement Project as submitted, and authorize the deferred assessments. Mike Sobieski, 1022 3rd St N, expressed his concern that his is a corner lot, which according to guidance he received, he should receive 1/2 unit. Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution 2011 -142, adopting assessment for 2011 Street Improvement Project (Project 2011 -02) L.I. 390. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to adopt Resolution 2011 -143, adopting deferred assessments for 2011 Street Improvement Project (Project 2011 -02, L.I. 390).

Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Mayor Harycki asked City Attorney Magnuson if he needed a motion to direct staff to meet with affected homeowners that have written letters of objection, and the response was yes. Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to direct staff to meet with homeowners to resolve the dispute and advise them of the timeline for appeal. Motion passed unanimously. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Mayor Harycki commented on the actual price for the work coming in lower than the bids, and Assistant Engineer Kraftson indicated that assessments have been lower since 2004 assessments due to lower prices in construction. Page 6of12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Possible approval of 1st reading of an ordinance amending the Stillwater City Code, Chapter 41, entitled License, Permits and Prohibitions by addition Standards for certain Seasonal Outdoor Sales Community Development Director Tumblad reported that the Planning Commissioners have been dissatisfied over the years with the City Zoning Ordinance requirement that vendors and seasonal outdoor sales be operated by Special Use Permit (SUP) which are tied to a specific property, but operators of tent sales and vending carts are not. He indicated that the Planning Commission suggests an annual permit for tent sales or vending businesses that be approved by the Planning Commission for the first year, and for each subsequent year, the permit would be reviewed and issued by City staff, unless there were substantial changes to the business. Then the Planning Commission would review the permit. The business owner would submit an annual application that would include site plan, utility plan, signage plan, a signed agreement with the owner of the private property that the business will be located on, and a narrative explaining operational details. The ordinance before Council has two main sections, the first being Seasonal Outdoor Sales, and the second being Seasonal Food Vending. Food vendors operating under a special event permit do not need a vending permit of their own. On a question from Councilmember Roush regarding moving the site from year to year, Community Development Director Turnblad responded yes, but a permit is needed every year. The Planning Commission and city staff recommend approval of the first reading of the attached ordinance. Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve the 1 st reading of the Ordinance as presented. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None UNFINISHED BUSINESS Possible accepting of bids and awarding contract for the Downtown Pedestrian Walkway Restroom City Planner Pogge reported that bids for the Downtown Pedestrian Walkway Project Public Restroom Building were opened on Tuesday, September 27, 2011, and the City received six bids with the low bid of $297,700.00 submitted by Terra General Contractors. The architect's estimate for the project was $276,016.00. Due to the number of bids received, City Staff and the Architect, Bill Hickey, are confident that the bid represents a fair market value. Additionally, the Architect has reviewed the bid line items from Terra General Contractors and did not find anything that raised concerns. Bids on the main part of the Pedestrian Walkway Project are due to the City on October 12th, and will be presented to the City Council for possible action on October 18th. Architect Bill Hickey explained some of the items that bumped up the cost slightly, such as carpentry framing for the canopy area, and more substantial roofing and building materials. Councilmember Roush asked about getting utilities into the site, grading and preparation work. Mr. Hickey responded that these things have been taken into consideration and will be coordinated as the project progresses. City Attorney Magnuson clarified that the City is required to take the lowest "responsible" bid. Page 7of12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Mayor Harycki, to adopt Resolution 2011 -144, accepting bids and awarding the contract for Downtown Pedestrian Walkway Project Public Restroom Building as presented.

All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None NEW BUSINESS Possible new appointment to the Water Board Councilmember Roush stated that he feels that the candidate who was selected will do a fine job, but five other candidates who applied were not interviewed. Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Mayor Harycki, recommended appointing Kristin Sheehan to the Water Board. The vote was a 2 -2 tie and went to further discussion. Ayes: Councilmember Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: Councilmembers Menikheim and Polehna Councilmember Menikheim objected that this does not give a fair chance to other candidates who want to get involved, and suggested this go back to the Water Board to conduct interviews. A subcommittee was formed to proceed with interviews. Councilmember Roush and Councilmember Menikheim will serve on the subcommittee. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to appoint Councilmember Roush as interim member of the Water Board for one meeting. All in favor. Possible approval of estimate for insulation of St. Croix Valley Rec dome — Yeadon Fabric Domes, LLC St. Croix Valley Rec Center Manager Doug Brady presented his request to add insulation to the dome structure which will greatly reduce the Center's natural gas usage, has a 1.5 year payback, and will result in additional savings in the future. The funding will come from 2009 CIP. Mr. Brady is currently working with Xcel Energy on a rebate up to $10,000. City Administrator Hansen recommended in a phone call that this project be approved. Yeadon Fabric Domes submitted the lowest estimate. Page 8 of 12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to adopt Resolution 2011 -145, Approval of estimate for insulation of St. Croix Valley Rec Dome with Yeadon Fabric Domes, LLC. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None The Agenda was rearranged to accommodate agenda item #39, Possible approval of new Wine with Strong Beer liquor license for The Lumberyard Bob Kaufrnan reported that the facility is ready, with a grand opening scheduled for Friday, October 14, and that members of The Wild are coming. This is a multi -sports facility, focused on hockey but will also have baseball, soccer, and LaCrosse training as well as strength and conditioning. A retail store is already open for sporting goods equipment sales. There will also be a small cafe that will serve food, wine and beer. Liquor will only be allowed in the restaurant area, and will not be in the sports facility itself. Chief Gannaway was asked if he had any concerns, and responded that he did not. A public hearing is not required for this type of liquor license. Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve Resolution 2011 -147, approving a new wine with strong beer liquor license for The Lumberyard. Motion passed 3 -1. Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Polehna, and Mayor Harycki Nays: Councilmember Roush Possible approval of purchase of computers IT Holman presented a request for approval to purchase computers for various departments. In January a request to purchase 12 computers was submitted, but only six were approved at that time. She explained that the need for replacement computers was so great in January, the IT department was only able to use one of the old computers, leaving no spare computers or parts. Ms. Holman reported that funds for these computers is in the capital outlay budget for 2011. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to approve purchase of six computers. All in favor. Possible approval of purchase of SCADA Telemetry hardware and software for public works IT Holman stated that the Public Works Department's SCADA computer and software is 10 years old and has not been updated since it was purchased. The systems currently being used are not compatible with Windows 7. The system is used to monitor and control the sewer pump stations and allows remote access to the pumps. This notifies Public Works staff of potential issues with the system so that they can eliminate problems before they occur. The plan is to migrate to a new system with software and hardware that is upgradable and can be connected to our network to monitor operations and notify personnel of problem conditions. This will also make remote monitoring more consistent and reliable. The cost of the new system was budgeted in the sewer fund, however, a vendor will be needed to find a migration path that would be the least disruptive to staff and operations, and would be similar to what we were using. It would come out of the MIS budget, from another project, but staff feels that it is very important that this long overdue upgrade to this system be completed. Page 9 of 12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Motion by Mayor, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve the purchase of the SCADA telemetry hardware and software as presented. All in favor. Possible approval of purchase of Websense® web filter IT Holman presented a request that the City renew its e -mail filter software and purchase web - filtering software to monitor and filter both e -mail and internet activity and usage. At the end of last year, IT decided that they would try to use a freeware version of web filtering software to save money, however, it performing as needed. On a question from Councilmember Polehna, Ms. Holman confirmed that this type of web filter will stifle a lot of stuff, but can be set to control specific websites. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to approve the purchase of the SCADA telemetry hardware and software as presented. All in favor. Possible approval of agreement with of Bloom Engineers to conduct HVAC system study IT Tech Bornt presented staff's recommendation on the City's HVAC chiller issues from this summer, that a study should be conducted to look at the entire system and proposed options and related costs to correct the issues. This study may help identify opportunities to improve the energy efficiencies, possibly adding some automation controls. Bloom Engineers have been in contact with Xcel Energy about various rebate programs to help fund this study. When asked if he had gotten more quotes, Mr. Bornt responded that Bloom was the only one that followed through. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to adopt Resolution 2011 -146, accepting quote and awarding contract for HVAC study for City Hall. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers, Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None Possible approval of Lift Bridge Brewery Special Event Permit — "Commander" new beer Community Director Turnblad presented the request from Lift Bridge Brewery, who is planning the release of a new beer named "Commander," scheduled for Saturday, November 19, 2011, 5:00 -10:00 p.m. All activity areas will be on Lift Bridge's property, but a portion of the street will be barricaded to provide control of the entrance to the event. They will hire off duty officers since beer will be consumed at the event. The organizers have discussed this with abutting business owners, who are in agreement, and will allow event visitors to park in their neighboring lots. There will be no impact upon City resources, so a contract is needed. Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve the Lift Bridge Brewery special event. All in favor. Possible approval of resolution authorizing the call of the outstanding General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2003B Finance Director Harrison presented the resolution, adding that these bonds were issued in 1994, and refunded in 2003. The bonds paid for a project in TIF district #4. There is an estimated $27,000 cost savings in interest. Page 10 of 12 City Council Meeting October 4, 2011 Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to adopt Resolution 2011 -148, Authorizing the call of the outstanding General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2003B. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Polehna, and Roush, and Mayor Harycki Nays: None COMMUNICATION AND REQUEST ITEMS Councilmember Polehna updated on Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, that due to a big deployment to Iraq, two families contacted him about needing help with snow removal this winter, and asked if anyone can help out, please call him. He also stated that the Washington County meeting will be hosted by the City of Stillwater at the Washington County Government Center on October 12. Mayor Harycki passed along a concern to Deputy Chief Ballis about the burning of home garbage, and Deputy Chief Ballis expressed that it is not allowed, along with leaves or brush. Councilmember Menikheim wondered if the Dave Paradeau letter would be addressed tonight. Councilmember Polehna expressed that he would like to see a map, and suggested Mr. Turnblad do a presentation at the next meeting , including handouts with aerial photos. Mayor Harycki gave an update on legislation on the new bridge: tomorrow will be an important step in the process of moving the project along, as the bill will go before the House. Congresswoman Bachmann and Senator Klobuchar have been working together on common language. Mayor Harycki met with several senators and most are positive about getting the bill through.
