Downtown Stili�{.0 *~Plan Forward
Outline for Council Workshop DRAFT
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you ....
We are here to discuss with you the idea of creating an updated, more detailed, Design - Forward
.... Downtown Plan for the City of Stillwater.
We've had Downtown Plans in the past, and we most recently updated ours in 2008 as part of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. But we have, right now, in Stillwater a confluence of truly
significant — even historic - opportunities that past plans have not addressed.
We'll discuss these in more detail, but these key opportunities are:
1) The New Bridge, and its wide range of effects it will have on the City
2) The New Browns Creek Bike Trail
3) Downtown and Riverfront Special Events Planning and Infrastructure
4) Economic Development and Special Opportunity Sites
We think this is a once- in- a ... half- century? ... opportunity. We want to try to work with and
harness some of the current energy and momentum in the community.
We've talked at least briefly with most of you about this idea, including Bill Turnblad and Larry
Hanson. We recognize that with all of the current projects under way in town, City Staff is limited
in the amount of time and energy they can bring to this type of planning.
So we've put together a team of local planners and designers, each bringing different abilities
and experience — but all very familiar with our City and Downtown. Most of you know us, but
perhaps we should briefly introduce everyone:
■ Steve Russell
o Former Stillwater City Planner for 20 years
0 35 years of Planning experience
o Stillwater resident
■ Roger Tomten
• Local Environmental Designer
• HPC member for 18 years
• Co- authored Stillwater Downtown Design Guidelines
■ Brian Larson
• Local Architect and new HPC member
• Former Stillwater Traffic commission member
• Co- authored Conservation District Design Guidelines

Scope of Work DRAFT
1. INTRODUCTION
The following list of services is provided to give Council members a description of key components of
updating the Downtown Plan in response to the construction of the New St Croix River crossing and the
Browns Creek trail. Because of these long awaited physical changes effecting the Downtown, there is
an energy and renewed interest in downtown improvement and a desire for local sustainable economic
development. The momentum and interest from the new bridge and trail can be very beneficial to the
plan update effort and help "Plan Forward" Downtown Stillwater to the next generation in its long history
of successes. Today is the "Perfect Storm" for planning and improving the Downtown.
This scope of work provides a way to channel the energy and desire for an improved Downtown into
tangible results. The scope of work will be further defined and refined with City input once a decision to
proceed with the Downtown Plan update is made.
2. SCOPE OF WORK
1. Engage Community
The plan update process is an open inclusive process with participation from all interests including the
Downtown, community and City Hall.
2. Reestablish Downtown Vision
The existing Downtown Plan (2008) establishes a vision for Downtown Stillwater. This vision will be
reviewed and reconfirmed or refined. The new vision will direct the overall plan update.
3. Identify Opportunities and Challenges
New opportunities and challenges are presented with the construction of the new bridge and trail. This
component will detail them using new information and analysis.
4. Co I lect/Gene rate key data
Pedestrian, bicycle and auto movement studies will be conducted to evaluate movement needs and
opportunities. This information will be used to develop and evaluate new ways to access parking and
other destinations, and redefine the streetscape.
5. Prepare Strategic Specific Improvement Plans
Based on opportunities, challenges and changed conditions identified above, improvement plans and
development guidelines will be developed. Possible areas of plan development include, auto circulation
and parking, private /public streetscape improvements, bicycle plan, festival space definition,
opportunity site plans and guidelines and an economic development strategy.
6. Implementation Plan
A detailed Implementation Plan including organization responsibility, phasing, costs and sources of
funds will be prepared. for each implementing action.
7. Plan Implementation Benefits
Estimate potential private and public benefits of plan implementation projects.
The short and long term benefit of each plan improvement will be estimated to better understand the
sustainability and importance of the projects.

2. DOWNTOWN PLAN HISTORY
■ We've had Downtown Plans in the past. They can be very effective and useful tools to guide key
developments. Some examples of projects that have emerged from past Downtown Plans:
• Downtown infrastructure improvements
• Levee Wall
• Parking ramp
• Pedestrian Plaza
• Downtown Grocery
• Residential development
• Cub HQ redevelopment, Junior High reuse
■ Our most recently updated 2008 Plan, as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan, does not account for
the new river crossing or the new bike trails, and does not address the numerous key changes and
site development opportunities.
3. WHY A NEW PLAN, AND WHY NOW?
• There are four OPPORTUNITIES that are in flux right now; Bridge, Bike Trail, Special Events and
Economic Development & Opportunity Sites.
• These OPPORTUNITIES are interlocked, and affect each other.
• Some of these OPPORTUNITIES involve public infrastructure, some involve private development
• If we PLAN FORWARD we can better coordinate how these OPPORTUNITIES work with one
another and the downtown as a whole.
• If we PLAN FORWARD with these OPPORTUNITIES NOW, we can have a plan in place in a timely
way, before their impact begins on the city.
• The closing of the Historic Bridge from September to December provides a ONE TIME
OPPORTUNITY to study and experience "post new bridge" traffic patterns and impacts.
1) NEW BRIDGE
• Traffic reduction AND traffic changes
• Traffic circulation modification opportunities
• Pedestrian, Streetscape & Greenspace improvements
• Development of a pedestrian and vehicular circulation loop that guides people through the
city to Parking areas and helps direct traffic to off -Main street businesses
2) NEW BIKE TRAILS
• Browns Creek Trail (DNR)
• River Crossing Loop Trail (MnDOT)
• Connections to City trail and street system
• Opportunities to meet needs of visiting and commuter bicyclists
3) DOWNTOWN EVENT PLANNING
• Plan for appropriately scaled community events
• Plan for the coordination of various event types
• Identify opportunities to coordinate parking, circulation and pedestrian infrastructure
• Plan for long term Streetscape and Greenspace improvements
4) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & OPPORTUNITY SITES
o Chestnut Street Plaza opportunities
o 2nd Street parking and development opportunity sites @ Mulberry, the Armory, Nelson Street
o Pedestrian connection opportunities from 2nd Street to the River
o Marketing and Economic Development opportunities

LIST OF ACTIONS
CITY COUNCIL RETREAT
Friday, May 11, 2012
STILLWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY
Margaret Rivers Room
8:00 a.m. —12:00 p.m.
Previous retreats and progress
It was requested that City Administrator Hansen circulate a list of contracts that will be bid to
determine if neighboring communities — Stillwater Township, Grant, Oak Park Heights, etc. —
would be interested in piggybacking on those contracts.
Fire station /armory /gymnasium
(;Nu lnasiuni
Community Development Director Turnblad noted that a joint use agreement still has to be put
together with the National Guard.
Mayor Harycki indicated that according to the figures provided by finance, debt service would
amount to $15,700 a month, and suggested it would also be good to get some information about
operating costs for such facilities, as well as typical rental fees.
Mayor Harycki estimated it might require that the courts be rented 224 hours a month in order to
break even, and requested contacting Doug Brady from the Rec Center regarding rental hours of
the two ice sheets.
Mayor Harycki requested that Mr. Turnblad talk with Col. Jensen in an effort to answer some of
the questions about what a joint use agreement might look like, as well as contact Doug Brady
regarding rental times. Mr. Turnblad responded that staff could probably put together an
estimate of operational costs and revenue.
Councilmember Polehna stated that he could get some more definitive numbers regarding rental
costs and inventory of facilities.
Fire Station
Community Development Director Turnblad noted that due to the National Guard's timetable, a
decision on whether to proceed with 35% of the design for the expanded gymnasium will have to
be made within 3 -4 weeks.
Mayor Harycki requested that a resolution be prepared approving the design fees for the fire
station for a vote at the next Council meeting, and suggested that pending the vote on proceeding
with design for the fire station, there should be some action to begin the process for moving
forward with improvements /reconfiguration of the police department space.
Streets
No actions
Special events
Create focus group, survey public, public forum, decide how many races,'send our RFPs
After discussion, it was decided to get a cost estimate from Readex to do a survey, and
Councilmember Menikheim suggested having a special Council meeting along with the survey.
It also was decided to keep the survey focused on the issue of special events and to schedule a
Council workshop to discuss survey results /input and make policy decisions.
There was a question as to whether the survey could be funded through TIF, and Mr. Magnuson
is to look into that issue.
Other issues
Councilmember Menikheim submitted scheduling a workshop session prior to every Council
meeting. It was decided to schedule a workshop session at the second meeting in June to discuss
items remaining on the retreat agenda.

DATE: June 14, 2012
RE: Readex Event Survey
BACKGROUND
At the May Council retreat staff was directed to request Readex to give us an estimate for the
cost of conducting a community survey on the topic of events.
STAFF REQUEST
In order to provide Readex staff with enough direction to outline a survey and estimate its
cost, City staff is requesting Council to clarify the purpose of the survey a bit more. We have
written a few discussion points below to help.
Readex. staff will be present at the work session to hear the discussion first hand. They will
also be available to answer questions and offer advice.
DISCUSSION POINTS
To define the scope and direction of the survey, some discussion on each of these points
would be helpful.
1. Is the general purpose of the survey to gather opinions on:
a. a replacement community event, or
b. the community's views on events in general, or
c. community input on what types of events are desired, or
d. community input on the number of events that are acceptable, or
e. the general level of tax dollars /public resources the community finds
acceptable to subsidize events, or
f. all or a combination of the above?
2. Who is the target audience?
Residents
i. Stillwater residents: all neighborhoods or just neighborhoods near
downtown?
ii. Residents from a larger area?
Event Survey
Page 2 of 2
b. Business owners
i. Downtown businesses or all Stillwater business owners?
ii. Business owners from a larger area?
c. Event organizers?
d. Others?
NEXT STEP
After the Council discussion City staff will meet with Readex staff to define project details
further for estimate purposes. The cost estimate will then be brought back to the City
Council.

Board of Water Commissioners Workshop
4:30 P.M.
Steve Speedling, Chair of the Water Department, introduced himself, as well as Robert Benson,
manager of Water Department, and George Vania, Board member. He explained that the
purpose of the workshop was to provide the Council with an update on the work of the Water
Department since the last workshop.
Mr. Speedling reported that there has been only a I% response from the community to the rate
increase introduced earlier this year.
Councilmember Roush indicated that he has heard from several residents and he remains
opposed to the rate increase.
Mr. Speedling invited the Council to bring any issues to the department for discussion. He
reminded the Council that a study was done prior to the rate increase.
Mr. Speedling offered that the Water Department is looking at connecting with City Hall for
future sharing of data.
Mr. Benson explained that the Water Department and the City are working together to
coordinate Water Department access to the GIS system that the City currently has in place.
Mr. Speedling pointed out that right now, through the GIS system, public works staff can see
manholes, mains and valves, but cannot access the attribute data for the hydrants, valves and
services, or initiate work orders associated with the pipe segments. He added that the goal is for
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
staff to be able to view a map and see what has occurred in any segment in the City. The Water
Department will be responsible for making any changes and the system will be "read only" for
anybody else. The work order system will be developed in 2013.
Mr. Benson informed that the Water Department is also looking at a meter change -out program.
TKDA is currently doing a feasibility study. Most meters are now 20+ yrs old. The typical
lifespan is 20 -25 yrs. Due to current regulations, the meters cannot contain any lead in the brass,
narrowing down the choice of meter suppliers.
Mr. Speedling presented a resolution that the Water Board approved regarding street
improvements. He stated that some areas of the City have private service lines for which the
home owner is responsible. The Board agreed to split cost of water mains 50/50 with residents
undergoing street reconstruction, for example, Linden Street.
Councilmember Roush asked if there is a remedy if the main is damaged by the City or the
Water Department. Mr. Benson answered that once the main is installed, the Water Department
takes care of it 100 %.
Mr. Benson noted that the Water Department has always worked with the City in eliminating
galvanized services impacted by street improvement projects. Another project underway is
Millbrook Addition. He continued that earlier this year the Water Department completed a rehab
at Well No. 6 and there was a chlorine leak. The department is in the process of replacing
valves.
Councilmember Menikheim mentioned that he has attended Water Board meetings and is
impressed.
Mayor Harycki brought up that the City is spending over 50 cents to send a utility bill to
residents. He asked if the City and the Water Board could eliminate some of that overlap in
mailing costs which could potentially save $3,000 a quarter by combining mailings.
Mr. Benson and Mr. Speedling responded that the Water Department would be happy to look at
that.
Councilmember Polehna spoke of a problem with mowing grass around the pump station at
Benson Park, and Mr. Benson remarked that it has been addressed.
Request for TIF assistance from HAF Group for new building at 229 Main St. S.
City Planner Pogge introduced the application of the HAF Group for Tax Increment Financing
Assistance. He stated the first floor of the building, to be called the Peaslee Building, will be
used for restaurant and retail, and the second floor will be used for office space. The building
design has been reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission and the Planning
Commission. The total square footage is approximately 3,120 square feet.
City Planner Pogge described that this request is due to two conditions: poor soil conditions and
additional flood proofing necessary due to the property being in the St. Croix River floodplain.
These issues add approximately $170,000 of cost. He added that total project costs are over $1
million. According to State Statute, this project is eligible for about $173,000 in TIF assistance.
The request is for $150,000 TIF assistance. City policy allows assistance in the amount of 50%
of the increased tax revenue over a five year period. This building would see about $20,900
annually of additional tax revenues which equates to approximately $52,250 in TIF assistance.
While the request exceeds that, City staff believes site conditions and the City's desire to see a
two story building rather than a one story building dictates a recommendation for approval.
Page 2 of 11
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
Mayor Harycki inquired if the extra cost comes from the weight of the second story. Michael G.
Hoefler, principal for HAF Group, responded yes. He reviewed the changes in plans since the
poor soil conditions were discovered. Additionally, construction will significantly match the
building that had been there before it burned down around 1951. The poor soil conditions added
items which added an immense amount of cost.
Mayor Harycki voiced that he likes the fact that the fagade looks like it fits into the area.
City Planner Pogge asserted that normally a retail office building is allowed up to 50% of the
increased tax revenue over a five year period, so this project would warrant $50,000 of TIF
assistance, but the applicant is requesting $150,000. It would require about 7.5 years to pay
back.
Councilmember Menikheim reiterated that the project appears to fit beautifully, but asked if this
the best use of our TIF funds and the benefit to the City.
City Planner Pogge replied that it brings an under - utilized property back onto the tax rolls.
Councilmember Menikheim commented that a one story project would also accomplish that.
City Attorney Magnuson noted an approach suggested by City Administrator Hansen was to
look at how much of the project could be financed by a bank and what the shortfall if any would
be. He continued that the main floor is to rent at $14 per square foot, the upper floor at $11 for
total of $50,000 of rental which supports a maximum loan of $400,000, so the shortfall on the
project is $345,000. This much of the owner's equity will have to go into the project to make it
feasible.
City Planner Pogge mentioned that the funds to be used would be from TIF District 1.
On a question from Councilmember Roush about the cost of the land versus construction costs
and why the property owner spent $1 million to get a building worth $600,000. Mr. Hoefler
responded that HAF Group is the architect and developer and intends to locate its own offices in
the structure. They have wanted to move to downtown Stillwater for many years, have been in
business since 1992, and have high paying jobs. The firm is currently housed in temporary space
on Chestnut Street. He conveyed that the company has a lot of emotional buy -in in the project.
Mayor Harycki commented that the plaza is nice but has no economic value, and that he wants
to review the City's plans for TIF District 1 which were crafted last fall.
City Planner Pogge provided that there is about $3 million in the TIF district today. The fagade
program has allocated about $300,000.
Councilmember Cook inquired if there would be other projects competing for this TIF money,
and City Attorney Magnuson listed other possible uses for the TIF funds are: fagade programs,
perhaps entrances on both ends of the City, possibly walkways and trail connections. He
continued that a building of this size and scope will generally increase the tax base for the
foreseeable future, and added that TIF was designed to spur development on under - utilized sites.
Councilmember Roush pointed out that the project isn't bringing in entirely new money to the
City, because the firm's employees are already working here in Stillwater.
Mayor Harycki asked how the TIF payments would be administered, and Mr. Magnuson
presented various options.
Page 3 of 11
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
Mr. Hoefler stated that he envisioned the money could be paid over 5 months in increments to
pay the subcontractors.
Councilmember Polehna reminded the Council that the City has been trying to find a location
for dumpsters downtown, and suggested perhaps this project might incorporate that. Mr. Hoefler
replied that a trash enclosure is planned for the project but it may not be able to be enlarged.
City Planner Pogge indicated that the City has been discussing different options for trash
enclosures with a few property owners. The issue is that no one wants it behind their building.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Mayor Harycki, to direct staff to proceed with
drafting the development agreement with up front TIF assistance in the amount of $150,000.
Councilmember Cook expressed that she doesn't feel comfortable voting on this project yet. She
asked how the applicant was made aware of the possibility of TIF funding.
City Planner Pogge implied that staff made the applicant aware when the one story project was
proposed, because the one story design didn't seem to fit with the area.
Councilmember Roush voiced that he loves the project, but sees a big difference between giving
developers money and loaning them money.
Councilmember Polehna pointed out that the building will be there to provide increased tax
revenues over many years.
Councilmember Cook asked how the City could be sure the facade would look as proposed, and
Mr. Hoefler responded that the firm has done many other successful projects in Stillwater.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim, Polehna, and Mayor Harycki

STAFF REPORTS
Police Chief John Gannaway reported that when the department staffed the temporary levee,
there was only one incident.
Fire Chief Stu Glaser relayed that the City has received an invitation from the East Metro Public
Safety Training Center to its groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, June 14th, at Hwy 120 and
Hwy 5 in Maplewood. He also informed the Council that the SCBA Maze Trailer, part of the
department's annual training for self - contained breathing apparatus, is on site. He invited
Councilmembers to visit the trailer to see what it's like to be in a confined space with an air tank
on.
City Clerk Diane Ward updated the Council on candidate filings which closed at 5 pm June 5.
Candidates are:
Ward 2: Cassie McLemore, Ted Kozlowski, Adam Frederick, Tom Corbett
Ward 3: Councilmember Roush and Tom Weidner
Community Development Director Turnblad mentioned the dirt in various places downtown is
part of the pedestrian walkway project.
City Planner Pogge submitted that construction is going well with the public bathrooms,
expected to be done by June 29. Some traffic redirection will be involved.

City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
On a question by Councilmember Polehna if Kolliner Park will be out from underwater by July
4th, Public Works Director Sanders responded that the river level has dropped four feet, and the
City shouldn't have to re- grade.
IT Tech Bornt gave the Council an update on the new chiller. The unit that was previously
recommended is quiet but there are some other units out there that are even quieter. The
information was sent to the sound engineer to verify the specifications. Staff has found a
different unit 4 -5 decibels quieter than the recommended unit, also is a few thousand dollars
cheaper. He offered that it appears the City can move forward with this model. It will take
approximately 8 weeks for delivery, and it will take 2 -3 weeks to replace the unit.
Councilmember Cook expressed appreciation for staff communication with residents on this
issue.

OPEN FORUM
Page 5of11
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
Karin Housley, president of the Stillwater Chapter of Let's Go Fishing, a nonprofit, informed
the Council the organization is offering free fishing and boating excursions to athletes of the
Special Olympics which is scheduled to be in Stillwater June 21 -23. She requested that the City
provide 12 parking spaces in the City's south lot for three days for parking for the athletes at no
cost. There was Council discussion on other possible parking locations.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to direct staff to work with the
organization on the best location for the parking. All in favor.
Ms. Housley also announced she is running for State Senate.
Amy McKee, 601 Fourth Street South, addressed the Council on her ownership of chickens
which she discovered is against City ordinance. She is working with a number of other residents
who raise chickens to get the ordinance changed. Community Development Director Turnblad
relayed there has been no application yet for an ordinance amendment which costs $500.
Councilmember Polehna expressed concern that the issue could grow to include other farm
animals such as horses, goats, or pigs.
Councilmember Roush pointed out there are areas of the City where chickens would definitely
be unacceptable, and the Council is required to enforce ordinances that include the entire City.
Ms. McKee stated that other cities have ordinances regarding number and care of the chickens.
Her children consider the chickens as pets.
Councilmember Menikheim proposed that until the chickens become a problem, the City
shouldn't worry about it. The Council shouldn't get in the residents' way.
Councilmember Cook noted that changing an ordinance takes a lot of staff time and work,
justifying the $500 application fee. She believes the group is close to raising the $500
application fee. She would favor directing staff to work with the group if they apply for the
ordinance change through normal channels.
Councilmember Roush asked Mr. Magnuson if chickens could be allowed in some parts of the
City but not others, and he indicated that raising chickens seems to be an urban phenomenon
and staff could look at ways that other cities regulate chickens.
Chief Gannaway offered that his department can continue to advise the Council when there is a
complaint about existing chickens.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to direct staff to suspend
enforcement of the existing ordinance for 90 days pending looking at a possible amendment.
Ayes: Councilmembers Cook, Menikheim and Mayor Harycki
Nays: Councilmembers Roush and Polehna

Residential District and any variances related thereto. Notices were mailed to affected property
owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on May 25, 2012.
Community Development Director Turnblad explained this case was approved by the Planning

by the City engineer and the DNR. The City is still waiting for that plan and approval. He

Case 2012 -17. This is the date and time for a public hearing to consider a request from HAF
Architects for a flood fringe conditional use permit for the construction of a two -story building at
229 Main Street South in the CBD Central Business District. Notices were mailed to affected
property owners and published in the Stillwater Gazette on May 25, 2012.
Community Development Director Turnblad presented that HAF is proposing to construct a
two -story building on Main Street. This portion of the request is to allow construction in the
fringe of the St. Croix River floodplain. The conditional use permit may be approved as long as
the building is at or above the floodplain and as long as the approaches to the building are no
more than two feet below the floodplain., He noted that this project meets those requirements.
Mayor Harycki opened the public hearing.
Hearing no persons wishing to testify, Mayor Harycki closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Cook asked Community Development Director Turnblad about other nearby
buildings. He stated most all buildings east of Main Street have similarly had a Conditional Use
Permit.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Roush, to adopt Resolution
2012 -093, approving a flood fringe conditional use permit as outlined in the City of Stillwater
floodplain overlay district regulations.

upgrade from a wine /strong beer to a combination on -sale and off -sale and Sunday liquor
license. She stated that the applicant will have to abide by the off -sale liquor store hours set by

Request for Proposals for Police Department Expansion
Community Development Director Turnblad informed the Council that because the fire station
area will be freed up with construction of the new fire station, the existing space might be
reconfigured to provide for the needs of the Police Department. He would like to request
proposals for a study to be distributed in the next few weeks.
Page 8of11
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
Councilmember Cook asked if this would be an appropriate time to discuss having a fire
presence downtown after the new fire station is constructed, and Mr. Turnblad answered that
this would be a separate project.
Mayor Harycki noted that he would hope to find out approximately how much money the City
could expect to spend for the possible retrofit of the station to serve Police Department space
needs.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution
2012 -096, authorizing staff to proceed with an RFP for expansion of the Police Department facility.
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Polehna, Roush, Cook, and Mayor Harycki
Nays: None
COMMUNICATIONS AND REQUESTS
Councilmember Polehna reported that plans for the July 4th fireworks are moving along. The
music will be simulcast on KLBB radio.
Councilmember Cook inquired about the expansion of the problem property issue brought up at
the last meeting. She asked if there was any progress on the possibility of the City contracting
with a service for housing inspections.
Community Development Director Turnblad answered that the City currently doesn't have a
code of what to inspect for, so hiring a service may be premature at this time. He stated that in
regard to the property on South Fourth Avenue, Mr. Magnuson is helping the City work toward
a finding that the building is abandoned. This approach will give the City more options. Mr.
Magnuson suggested that for the next meeting he could have four or five proposals from
inspection services for discussion.
Councilmember Cook informed the Council she has had complaints of chronic congestion
downtown. With completion of the bridge set for 2017, she stated the City is looking at five
more years of congestion downtown. She has contacted the Coast Guard to learn options for
requesting that the lift bridge schedule be changed. She learned that the issue was last looked at
by the Coast Guard in 1998.
Mayor Harycki offered that the City might solicit suggestions for a recommendation from the
Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Councilmember Menikheim expressed that he feels this is all part of a bigger picture of how can
the City control traffic. He suggested that perhaps instead of every hour or every half hour, the
bridge could wait to be lifted every hour during the most intense traffic times. He suggested
consulting Mr. Anderson of St. Croix Boat and Packet Company about the issue.
Mayor Harycki noted that getting everyone on the same page, and approaching the Coast Guard
with a concrete proposal for suggested lift times, might provide a better likelihood of success.
Councilmember Polehna indicated that feedback could be solicited from the Assistant
Commissioner of Transportation.
Public Works Director Sanders agreed to organize a meeting among stakeholders on this issue.
Mayor Harycki reported that the City's current population is 18,299 according to the
Metropolitan Council.
Page 9of11
City Council Meeting
June 5, 2012
Mayor Harycki recapped the Council's recent meeting on review design of the proposed
Armory /Fire Station. He pointed out that the process is moving forward, and final concept
sketches should be before the Council on July 3.
Councilmember Roush mentioned that at an earlier meeting today, the Fire Department
effectively cut some costs from the project. The department continues to be diligent in cutting
costs wherever possible.
Councilmember Menikheim spoke about the fact that the Council has been waiting to get iPads
which are in the budget. He also would like to move forward with getting the City Hall
equipped with wireless access.
Mayor Harycki stated that he thought the school district had previously expressed an interest in
some type of cost sharing. He requested that City Clerk Ward follow up on this.
Councilmember Menikheim suggested the City revisit having a lobbyist.
Mayor Harycki stated that money is needed to complete the Gateway Trail. He believes the City
should look at possibly hiring a lobbyist to help obtain funding for this project and others, as
part of budget discussions.

Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adjourn at 7:57 p.m.

FROM: Michel Pogge, City Planne,4
DATE: June 15, 2012
RE: Mainstreet Pedestrian Walkway Project Site Work
Change Order #2
DISCUSSION
Early plans for the Pedestrian Walkway called for the placement of a kiosk along Main
Street. For some reason this was inadvertently dropped from the plans. The architect has
revised the plans to add the kiosk back to into the plans. The architect's cost estimate for the
kiosk was $13,000. The general contractor for the pedestrian walkway submitted a bid for
the kiosk in the amount of $12,455.00.
Since the design of the kiosk requires a foundation, is would be more cost effective to install
it now before the surrounding concrete work is completed versus waiting to do it at a later
date.
PRs included in this change order:
PR #10 - Add Kiosk $12,455.00
TOTAL for PR #10 $12,455.00
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council approved Change Order #2 in the amount of $12,455.00.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting the
Resolution 2012- APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #2 MAIN STREET
PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY SITE WORK.
RESOLUTION NO. 2012-101
APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #2
MAIN STREET PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY SITE WORK
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, that Change Order

hereby approved:
Change order #2:

10 - Add Kiosk $12,455.00

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Council 0__,,,A
From: Rose Holman, MIS Specialist
Date: June 15, 2012
Subject: Wireless and iPad Discussion
There has been some discussion regarding paperless agendas for the City Council meetings for
some time. Many cities have gone this route and I have done some research into the ways this
has been done. My best recommendation would be to have the packets distributed as PDF's and
put into a dropbox (an online depository for documents). Council members would be able to
retrieve the packets from that dropbox and download to an iPad (or other device). Once on the
device they would be able to manipulate the document with an app called iAnnotate. This app
allows users to highlight, comment, type, write (and much more) in the document so that you can
personalize it in a way that works best for you. If you want to find out more about this app you
can visit http://itunes.ai)i)le.com/us/app/iannotate-pdf/id363998953?mt=8 . That is a quick
overview of what we would like to do. I have not tested this yet because we need to accomplish
a few things before I can fully test this and give you a demonstration on how it works. Once
you see the demonstration, I think you will find this a very user friendly solution. I have
budgeted money in the 2012 budget for the purchase of these devices.
On another note, the iPad will be very helpful to those of you who do not like to switch between
your e -mail accounts. On the iPad you can set up multiple e -mail accounts and easily view your
e -mail from any of them by touching on the account you want to see. This will allow us to keep
our City e -mail separate from other accounts as recommended.
However, the first step in this process will be to get wireless in the Council chambers. This is
something that would be beneficial for several reasons. It would allow the City to give access to
the internet to outside entities that use our Council chambers without compromising the integrity
of our network. This is our biggest concern, but it would also allow us to move forward on this
paperless project. This will benefit the City in printing costs and staff time.
It would cost approximately $1200 to put wireless in the council chambers. For $1800 we
would be able to put in all the conference rooms (Riverview Room and Training Room). These
devices would be controlled by our firewall so that we could direct guest traffic to the outside
without touching our internal network. I had budgeted $1500 for this but there should be a little
leeway in the budget to come up with the addition $300 if we wanted to include the other
conference rooms.
Once we have wireless, I can begin testing with the iPads, dropbox, and iAnnotate and come
back to council in July to give you a demonstration on how things would work. This would
allow you to get an idea of how it will work before we make the purchase of the iPads. I know
that some of you are concerned about the viewing your documents on a screen, and we could
come up with some alternatives, if that is what you would like to do. Some ideas would be to
print out the PDF of the packet and still send it to the councilmembers that do not want to use the
iPads, or we could still drop the PDF in the dropbox and those councilmembers could print it out
at home. I think we can work with everyone to transition and train so that you are comfortable
with the solution we decide on.
I look forward to having our discussion on Tuesday and am open to any ideas that you may have.
If you would like to discuss anything with me before the meeting, please give me a call at 651-
430 -8804.
Staff Recommendation: Approve the purchase of wireless access points for the conference
rooms and have staff come back with a demonstration on the iPad in July.

RE: Required Credit Card Security Upgrade at the Parking Ramp
Background
The pay equipment that is at the parking ramp currently uses the Cardholder
Information Security Program (CISP) standard developed by VISA. At the time the pay
station equipment was installed this was the industry standard for credit card data
security. Since then the new "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard" (PCI-
DSS) has replaced the CISP standard. Our equipment as configured does not meet the
new PCI -DSS requirements and we are required to upgrade the equipment in order to
remain compliant.
We could upgrade the equipment today at a cost of around $14,615; however, our
equipment vendor Amano McGann is working on a new solution that we are being told
will be less expensive (around $10,000 to $11,000). We are being told that the new less
expensive equipment is currently in beta testing; however, there is no date certain when
the new equipment will be available. This cost of the upgrade will be covered by the
Parking Ramp enterprise fund.
Options
At this point we have two options. Neither of them are particularly appealing.
1) We could upgrade the credit card equipment at a cost of about $14,615.
2) We could continue to use the existing noncompliant equipment and wait for the
less expensive equipment to become available.
The second option has two potential issues. First, the company that processes credit
cards for the City could cut us off with no notice. Second, if we were to have a breach in
the equipment security the City could be liable.
Credit Card Options
June 15, 2012
Page 2
Parking Commission Recommendation
The Parking Commission reviewed and discussed the two options. Due to the risks
involved and the fact that credit card payments could be cut off at the ramp without
warning the Commission recommended that the City Council authorize them to
proceed with upgrading the pay station equipment without delay at a cost of 14,614.

include personal care assistant, home health aide, homemaker, chore, companion, and respite care.
Washington County Community Services provides case management for clients who receive Home and Community

directly through Medicaid and receives payment from the state. All services are paid for with federal and state dollars,
and no county dollars are used.

number of precincts to 16.
The county and city have an agreement under which the county administers the city's elections. The Washington County
Board of Commissioners amended that agreement June 12 to add the new precinct to the city's list.

tax forfeited parcels of property to prepare appraisals and environmental site assessments, as the land will be conveyed to
the park service.

service needs access to the properties to complete the requirements.
Mini farmers' market will be at government center starting June 19
A mini farmers' market will be set up on the north side of the Washington County Government Center in Stillwater
Tuesdays starting June 19.
The County Board approved contracts with three vendors, Great Harvest Bread Company, Sunshine Gardens, and Zoua
and Dang's Farm, June 12. They will be on site from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. until Sept. 18. The market is open to employees,
the general public, and neighbors and visitors to the Government Center.
The mini market is in response to an annual county employee health assessment that showed 53 percent of the
respondents noting a need to make nutritional improvements in their lives, including adding fruits, vegetables and whole
grains to their diets.
An application process was followed for interested farmers who wished to participate at the mini market
Public hearing July 10 will consider 'shoreland non - conformities,' variance review
criteria, wind energy systems
The Washington County Board of Commissioners set a public hearing for July 10 to consider amending the county's
Shoreland Management Ordinance pertaining to "shoreland non - conformities," and amending the Washington County
Development Code in regard to criteria used when considering the granting of a variance. The board will also consider an
amendment to the development code pertaining to wind energy conversion systems.
The board set the July hearing at its June 12 meeting.
As a result of recent changes in state statute pertaining to "shoreland non - conformities" and the criteria to be used when
considering the granting of a variance, it is necessary to amend the county's Shoreland Management Ordinance and a
section of its Development Code. The Washington County Planning Advisory Commission (PAC) conducted a public
hearing on the two ordinance amendments and recommended approval.
In addition, the County Board requested that the PAC review the county ordinance as it pertains to wind energy
conversion systems and determine if the ordinance should be revised. The PAC conducted a public hearing and
recommended the ordinance be amended.
County will apply for cross - country ski trail assistance funds
The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved an application June 12 for participation in the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources funding program for maintenance of cross - country ski trails in the county's parks.
The county has participated in the Minnesota Cross - Country Ski Trail Assistance Program in prior years and wishes to
continue to receive help to maintain trails at Pine Point Park, Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park, St. Croix Bluffs
Regional Park, Big Marine Park Reserve, and Lake Elmo Park Reserve.
The application is for $31,853.60 for ski trail assistance in 2013, but the funding fluctuates from year to year.
County reviews budget process as work nears completion on Broadway Avenue project
The Washington County Board of Commissioners received an update on Broadway Avenue in Forest Lake June 12, along
Page 3 of 4
with a report on a pilot project on how to manage contracts for the project more efficiently
The construction project runs along County State Aid Highway 2, or Broadway Avenue, from just west of Interstate 35 to
just west of Highway 61, and includes grading, concrete and bituminous paving, storm sewer, concrete curb and gutter,
traffic signals, signing and striping, lighting, water main, sanitary sewer and a bridge over the interstate. This is the third
and final year of the construction project.
In 2011, the board approved a pilot contract program for the project that changes the threshold at which the County Board
must approve construction contract amendments. The pilot project changes were designed to maintain fiscal oversight of
the project by the County Board while reducing the amount of staff time spent processing minor amendments to the
contract. In addition, the pilot project will enable payments to be made more promptly and to reduce contractor delay
claims. The result is a construction project that is on schedule and on budget, with less time tied up by county staff
gaining County Board approvals.
The project budget is $16.4 million for the interchange and roadway construction. Unexpected changes during
construction included finding extra debris in roadbeds and drainage ponds, finding asbestos that road debris, power pole
relocation delays, and a need for additional muck excavation and fill for the interchange and bridge. Contract changes
processed to date total $955,966.21.
In addition, costs not included in the 7 percent contingency costs include money for erosion control, costs incurred by last
year's state government shutdown, and additional streetscaping, the latter of which will cost an additional $511,000.
Construction is expected to be complete in September.
