Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. The City's basic financial statements include the operations of the Stillwater Water Commission. Our audit did not include the operations of the Stillwater Water Commission because the component unit engaged for its own separate audit. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraphs and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there can be no assurance that all such deficiencies have been identified. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be significant deficiencies. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We did not identify any dcfciencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the following deficiencies in the City of Stillwater's internal control to be significant deficiencies: Recreation Center Receipt Process When invoiced payments are received at the recreation center, they are recorded on a manual recording sheet. Payments are then posted to the customer's account in the MaxEnterprise software and also run through the PixelPoint terminal which causes the payments to be included on the Daily Receipt Sheet, which is reconciled to the bank deposit receipt. We noted that there is no control that would prevent a payment from being entered on the manual recoding sheet and posted in MaxEnterprise, but not run through the PixelPoint terminal. We recommend that the manual recording sheet be reconciled to the Daily Receipt Sheets to ensure that all payments received have been run through PixelPoint and thus included in the bank deposit. We recommend that this reconciliation be done by someone who does not have physical custody of the receipts and is documented. We further recommend that at least two individuals be present when mail is opened and recorded on the manual recording sheet. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Stillwater Page 2 Recreation Center Cash Register Closing Procedures A supervisor is present when the recreation center opens and closes, however we noted there are not always two people present when the cash register is closed to count cash and prepare the deposit. We recommend the Recreation Center two people be present when opening or closing out the cash register. Data Storage & Backup Administration We noted that while the recreation center server is backed up daily, backup media is not stored off-site. We recommend that backup media be stored at a third party storage facility, or at City Hall.. This reduces the risk that if a physical disaster were to destroy the recreation center systems, the backup media would be preserved. Recreation Center Security Cameras We noted that the camera covering the front desk and register was not close enough or at the right angle to properly monitor the cash drawer and register transactions. Written Description of Procedures and Process for Key Aspects of Recreation Center Operations and Identification of Key Controls We noted that procedures and processes for the Recreation Center are not documented in written form for several key areas of operations, including billing, rate setting, scheduling of arena time, receipts, collections, purchasing/ordering, and approval of vendor invoices. We recommend the recreation center evaluate operations for internal control weaknesses and establish clear and concise written procedures to document how each transaction or process is to be handled. This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, City Council, and the Office of the State Auditor of Minnesota, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified. �;5 07' ' A - CliftonLarsonAllen LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota June 12, 2012 0 oix Mary McFarland Brooks Minnesota Department of Transportation 395 John Ireland Boulevard Saint Paul, MN 55155 1'e1651- 366 -4280 cell 651-200-5453 Email mary.mcfarland@state.mn.us Christine Ouellette Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Region 718 W.

Complete C.v + good back Removal Trim Stump Grinding Cut Down Only Cut Down and Cut Up BALANCE FORWARD Ism PAY C�SY AMOUNT IN THIS COLUMN Memo DATE: July 13, 2012 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Sharon Harrison, Finance Director RE: Sanitary Sewer Adjustments BACKGROUND: During the course of any given year, sanitary sewer rate adjustment recommendations come before Council. These adjustments are mainly due to leaks found during the course of the year, but often stand out more during the readings during the Is' quarter of every year. For residential properties, sanitary sewer billing rates are set during the 2nd quarter of every year using the water consumption (obtained from the Water Board) from the Is' quarter of the year. This rate is then used for the next 4 billing cycles (quarters) until the rates are reset again the following year. As mentioned before, occasionally there are some properties that have experienced increased water usage during the Is' quarter of the year due to some unforeseen circumstances (e.g. leaky toilet, water softener issues, pipe issues, etc.). This increased water usage naturally in turn increases their sanitary sewer billing rate for the next 4 billing cycles (quarters). These residents/owners will then call the City to explain their individual circumstance, We (Finance) then review consumption rates from prior/current quarters to see if we can determine the duration/termination of the leak based on the information provided to us by the water department and the resident/owner. This information then is used to provide Council with new billing rate recommendations for upcoming billing periods (until the new rates are reset the following year). This practice has been used by the City for many years, and has been proven to be a fair and accurate way for property owners to pay their fair share of the use of the sanitary sewer system. RECOMMENDATION: Attached are staff recommendations for sanitary sewer rate adjustments currently requested by property owners. These adjustments are expressed in gallons (of consumption), based on the average consumption of the prior 3 years, and converted to the new billing rate using the most current billing rates approved by Council. These adjustments will begin with the next billing cycle (3`d quarter billing). In other words, staff is recommending to Council that the property owner at least pay the increased sanitary sewer rate for the billing period in which the leak occurred. COUNCIL ACTION: If Council agrees with Staff's recommendation, Council needs to approve staff recommendations as listed on the attached Exhibit A. CITY OF STILLWATER EXIBIT A Description of Billing Quarter Circumstance Winter Average Gallons Adjustment Begins 1 Leaking Faucet From 28,000 3rd To 14,000 2 Leaking Toilets From 68,000 3rd To 17,000 3 Leaking Toilet From 19,000 3rd To 16,000 4 Water Softner Leak From 27,000 3rd To 14,000 5 Water Softner Leak From 39,000 3rd To 5,000 6 Leaking Toilet From 67,000 3rd To 47,000 7 Leaking Toilet From 140,000 3rd To 13,000 8 Leaking Toilet From 83,000 3rd To 7,000 9 Leaking Toilet From 19,000 3rd To 8,000 10 Outside Faucet Leak From 29,000 3rd To 9,000 fflldffl:: ► MW TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Michel Pogge, City Plannerg DATE: June 15, 2012 RE: Mainstreet Pedestrian Walkway Project Site Work Change Order #3 DISCUSSION Site work for the Mainstreet Pedestrian Walkway Project continues. Due to the condition of the blacktop after the utility work was completed staff decided to replace the entire blacktop parking lot surface. Due to this, the City is required to add a bioretention cell to meet watershed requirements. Other changes are due to additional bad soil conditions, adding a water line blowout, and adding an electrical outlet for the irrigation system. Finally, as plans progressed for the new kiosk, it became clear we needed to make some revisions which resulted in additional costs. These changes will allow future technology upgrades to occur more easily in the future and will add lockable doors to the kiosk. The following is a summary of those changes: PRs included in this change order: PR #11- Bioretention Cell $6,063.00 PR #12- Rock and Debris Removal $600.00 PR #13- Kiosk Stand $6,114.00 PR #14- Copper Water Line Blowout $385.00 PR #15- Pergola Flashings $ 1,155.00 PR #16- Irrigation electrical outlet 132.00 TOTAL for PR #11 through PR#16 RECOMMENDATION $14,449.00 The City Council approved Change Order #3 in the amount of $14,449. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting the Resolution 2012-113 APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #3 MAIN STREET PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY SITE WORK. RESOLUTION 2012-113 APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #3 MAIN STREET PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY SITE WORK BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota, that Change Order #3 in the amount of $13,678.00 for the Main Street Pedestrian Walkway Site Work Project is hereby approved: Change order #3: PR # Item Amount 11 - Bioretention Cell $6,063.00 12 - Rock and Debris Removal $600.00 13 - Kiosk Stand $6,114.00 14 - Copper Water Line Blowout $385.00 15 - Pergola Flashings $1,155.00 16 - Irrigation electrical outlet $132.00 TOTAL change for PR #11 through PR #16 $14,449.00 This change order increases the base contract amount from $585,634 to $600,083.

With your support we have built partnerships with other communities, law enforcement, schools, parents, families and the courts to better meet the changing needs of youth and their families. We ask that you continue this partnership in 2013 by allocating $12,000 through a Purchase of Service Agreement. I have discussed this recommendation with Larry Hansen and enclose a model agreement for your review, along with a report showing the number of youth served in 2010 and 2011. With resources shrinking across all sectors, we are especially proud that over $8 is returned for every $1 invested in early intervention due to reduced truancy, improved school performance, reduced near -term court costs, reduced need for social services, and improved health outcomes. In addition, 85% of the over 1,600 youth served last year will not reoffend, and 75% of the families involved in counseling report improvement. YSB is committed to ensuring access to respectful and affordable programs and services that promote and aid in building healthier youth, families and communities. YSB staff take pride in responding promptly to service requests with flexible scheduling, affordable fees that can be waived and neighborhood based locations. I look forward to joining you at your City Council meeting on July 3rd when I will share information about the services we've provided to Stillwater's youth and their families and the outcomes of those services. Thank you for your consideration and years of support in finding local solutions that help young people and their families realize their strengths, find solutions and create positive futures.

The RRP Rule covers renovations, which are defined as modifications of existing structures or portions of structures. The rule does not apply to demolitions of an entire free - standing building or structure. The RRP Rule does apply to renovation activities that modify portions of existing structures. Waste from these activities must be contained to prevent releases of dust and debris before the waste is removed from the work area for storage or disposal. If a chute is used to remove waste from the work area, it must be covered. At the conclusion of each work day and at the conclusion of the renovation, waste that has been collected from renovation activities must be stored under containment, in an enclosure, or behind a barrier that prevents release of dust and debris out of the work area and prevents access to dust and debris.

FROM: Tim Moore, Assistant Public Works Superintendant DATE: July 11, 2012 SUBJECT: Upgrade of Northland Park Irrigation BACKGROUND Northland Park has had an irrigation system for the lower ball field since 1978. This irrigation system has reached its service life and has been inoperable for several years. DISCUSSION Staff has received two quotes to replace the irrigation system, one from WaterWorks Irrigation for $10,900.00 and a second from Mickman Brothers for $11,998.00. The 2" main from Northland Drive line should be upgraded to a material for potable water for an existing and a possible future drinking fountain. This cost would be $1200.00. In addition to the irrigation, there are some costs associated with connecting the water. Public Works will perform this work and the cost should not exceed $5000.00. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve WaterWorks for the installation of the irrigation system in Northland Park for $10,900.00 and $1200.00 for pipe upgrade and an additional $5000.00 for connection to existing water. Washington County, Minnesota Board of Commissioners - Actions FYI Actions at the Tuesday, July 10, 2012 Board Meeting This page is a brief view of the actions taken by the Washington County Board of Commissioners. For further information, please telephone 651 -430 -6001. Washington County's mission is to provide quality public services in a cost - effective manner through innovation, leadership, and the cooperation of dedicated people. County Board conducts three public hearings The Washington County Board of Commissioners conducted public hearings on three items at its meeting July 10. They included: • public hearing on amending the Washington County Shoreland Management Ordinance pertaining to non - conforming situations; • a public hearing on amending the Washington County Development Code pertaining to the standards used when considering the granting of a variance; • a public hearing on amending the Washington County Development Code pertaining to wind energy conversion systems (WECS). As a result of recent changes in state law pertaining to "shoreland non - conformities" and the standards to be used when considering the granting of a variance, it is necessary to amend Washington County's Shoreland Management Ordinance and a section of the county's Development Code. The primary change is in the standard used when considering granting a variance. According to revised state law, the "hardship" standard was changed and now an applicant for a variance must make a showing of "practical difficulties." 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 WECS and determine if the ordinance should be revised. The PAC is recommending that that ordinance also be amended. The commission received information from experts on the health effects of WECS from the Minnesota Department of Health; from the non - profit Windustry; and from a May Township resident who has installed a wind conversion system on his property. The issues considered include tower height, aesthetics, noise, parcel size, setback distances, shadow /flicker, and bird kill. The existing ordinance requires a minimum lot of 10 acres for a WECS, with a maximum height of 100 feet and a maximum rotor diameter of 26 feet for the system. The proposed ordinance would base the proposed system's height and rotor diameter on the parcel size, and a minimum parcel size for a WECS would be five acres, with total height ranging from 100 feet to 199 feet. After the public hearings, at which one resident spoke regarding the WECS, the board approved amending the ordinances and the Development Code. Contract will go to C.S. McCrossan Construction for Valley Creek Road work The Washington County Board of Commissioners named C.S. McCrossan Construction, Inc., July 10 to construct the Valley Creek Road (County State Aid Highway 16) project. Page 1 of 3 The project consists of milling bituminous pavement, concrete overlay, bituminous paving, pedestrian ramps, bituminous paths, storm sewer, signing, striping and signals on Valley Creek Road from 45 feet east of Bielenberg Drive to 52 feet east of Woodbury Drive in Woodbury. The project will include seven signal system upgrades, and install American with Disabilities Act compliant pedestrian ramps. Existing storm sewers will be improved, and trails in the area will be repaved. The low bid was for $3.267 million. The project will be paid for with 2011 county bonds. The construction will close traffic at the Valley Creek Road and Radio Drive intersection six days, 24 hours a day. Without traffic, the construction will be done more quickly. There will also be financial incentives for the construction company to finish the project promptly. It is anticipated that work will begin July 23, and finish in October. A website page, www.co.washington .mn.us /valleycreekroad, has been established, and e-mail, Twitter and weekly business owners will be used to keep those affected informed about the project's progress. County hears from association director Washington County commissioners received a report July 10 from Keith Carlson, executive director of the Minnesota Inter -County Association. Washington County is a member of a 13- county association that works together to communicate with state legislators on issues that have an impact on county government. While 2012 is the first in five years in which counties have not had their budgets reduced by the state in the current budget year, budget problems loom for 2013 and the following years, Carlson said. The state will see a more than $2 billion shortfall for fiscal years 2014 -2015, if inflation is taken into account. The state's Legislature did not reduce the mandates that it places on local governments, Carlson said, but the Legislature has also not imposed any new mandates. Carlson also said that he anticipates that if the constitutional amendment requiring a photo identification for voting is approved, it will place substantial new administrative burdens on counties. Carlson also noted that due to the large number of retirements after the 2012 legislation session, at least a quarter of legislators will be first -time state office holders when they arrive in St. Paul in January. Belisle, Pelletier, Doneux named to county advisory bodies John Belisle, Hugo, was named to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Citizen's Advisory Committee by the Washington County Board of Commissioners July 10, to a partial term expiring Dec. 31, 2013.

Mark Doneux, Stillwater Township, was named to the County's Planning Advisory Commission, to a first term expiring Dec. 31, 2014. The Washington County CDBG Citizen Advisory Committee provides public input and increases the accountability of the CDBG and HOME programs in Washington County. The purpose of the CDBG program is to develop strong urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate - income persons. The purpose of the Parks and Open Space Commission is to bring citizen perspective to the operation of Washington County Parks. The commission reviews current operation policies, capital improvement programs, parkland preservation, park development projects, and long -range planning for county parks, and recommends plans and policy changes to the county board. The commission also provides citizens' perspectives on the administration of the Land and Water Legacy Page 2 of 3 Program. The Planning Advisory Commission's purpose is to promote the proper planning and development of Washington County, and is established under state statute. The commission makes recommendations on amendments to the Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan prior to adoption of the amendment by the County Board, and conducts hearings on any alleged violations of codes and conditional use permits. Forest Lake, Stillwater to receive grants for recycling programs Forest Lake will receive up to $67,640 and Stillwater will receive up to $68,384 during the next two years to support their curbside recycling programs. The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved the grants to the cities July 10. In 2012 -13, cities and townships are eligible to receive grants for operating recycling programs. Other cities and townships will also receive grants in amounts less than $50,000, which are approved by a department head, not the County Board. Funds are used to administer the recycling program, conduct waste education in schools, and develop and promote additional recycling opportunities for residents. The money comes from a metropolitan landfill surcharge, a state solid waste tax, and the County Environmental Charge. County will purchase Croone property to add to Big Marine Park Reserve Washington County will purchase property on Margo Avenue to add to Big Marine Park Reserve in the northern portion of the county. The County Board approved the $465,000 purchase of the two- and - half -acre parcel at its meeting July 10. The County Board began authorizing negotiations for acquisitions for the park in 1989. The acquisition of this piece of property was initiated by the property owners who advised the county of their interest in selling the property. An appraisal was completed and reviewed by the County Board; the Washington County Parks and Open Space Commission also recommended purchasing the property. The purchase price will be paid by the Land and Water Legacy Program (LWLP), and the Metropolitan Council will reimburse the LWLP 75 percent of the acquisition cost, or $348,750. Page 3 of 3
