Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Management
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the terms and objectives of our engagement and the nature
and limitations of the audit services CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA) will provide for the City of Stillwater (“you,”
“your,” or “the entity”) for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Christopher G. Knopik, CPA, CFE is responsible for the performance of the audit engagement.
Audit services
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business‐type activities, the discretely
presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, which collectively
comprise the basic financial statements of the City of Stillwater, as of and for the year ended December 31,
2015, and the related notes to the financial statements.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) provides for certain required supplementary information
(RSI) to accompany the entity’s basic financial statements. The following RSI will be subjected to certain limited
procedures, but will not be audited.
1. Management’s discussion and analysis.
2. Schedule of funding progress – other post employment health care benefits and Stillwater Fire Relief
pension plan.
3. GASB Statement No. 68 schedule of propitiate share of net pension liability and schedule of employer
contributions.
We will also evaluate and report on the presentation of the supplementary information other than RSI
accompanying the financial statements in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Combining and individual fund financial statements.
The following information other than RSI accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and our auditors’ report will not provide an
opinion or any assurance on that information:
1. Introductory section.
2. Statistical data.

Audit objective
The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions about whether your basic financial statements are fairly
presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (U.S. GAAP). Our audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAS) and will include tests of your accounting records and other
procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. We will perform procedures on the
financial information of the Stillwater Board of Water Commissioners to enable us to express our opinions. We
will apply certain limited procedures to the RSI in accordance with U.S. GAAS. However, we will not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. We will also perform procedures to enable us to
express an opinion on whether the supplementary information (as identified above) other than RSI
accompanying the financial statements is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.
We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of your financial statements. We cannot provide
assurance that unmodified opinions will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to
modify our opinions, add an emphasis‐of‐matter or other‐matter paragraph(s), or withdraw from the
engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If
circumstances occur related to the condition of your records, the availability of sufficient, appropriate audit
evidence, or the existence of a significant risk of material misstatement of the financial statements caused by
error, fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets, which in our professional judgment prevent
us from completing the audit or forming opinions on the financial statements, we retain the right to take any
course of action permitted by professional standards, including declining to express opinions or issue a report,
or withdrawing from the engagement.
As part of our audit, we will also perform the procedures and provide the report required by the Minnesota
Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions.
Auditor responsibilities, procedures, and limitations
We will conduct our audit in accordance with U.S. GAAS. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the basic financial statements.
There is an unavoidable risk, because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent
limitations of internal control, that some material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit is
properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. GAAS. Because we will not perform a detailed
examination of all transactions, material misstatements, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial
reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are
attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the entity, may not be
detected.
December 10, 2015
City of Stillwater
Page 3
In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental
regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform
the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation
of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations
of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential.
In making our risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the basic financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal
control. However, we will communicate to you in writing significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in
internal control relevant to the audit of the basic financial statements that we identify during the audit.
Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later
periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
Management responsibilities
Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you (management and, when appropriate, those charged with
governance) acknowledge and understand that you have certain responsibilities that are fundamental to the
conduct of an audit.
You are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and RSI in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Management’s responsibilities include the selection and application of accounting principles;
recording and reflecting all transactions in the financial statements; determining the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates included in the financial statements; adjusting the financial statements to
correct material misstatements; and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects
of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest
period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a
whole.
You are responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error. You are responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls
to prevent and detect fraud; assessing the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a
result of fraud; and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving
(1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud
could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your
knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity received in communications from
employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying
and ensuring that the entity complies with applicable laws and regulations, and informing us of all instances of
identified or suspected noncompliance whose effects on the financial statements should be considered.
December 10, 2015
City of Stillwater
Page 4
You are responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to
the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, and other
matters, and for the accuracy and completeness of that information; (2) additional information that we may
request for the purpose of the audit; and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom we
determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. You agree to inform us of events occurring or facts discovered
subsequent to the date of the financial statements that may affect the financial statements. You are also
responsible for providing us access to component information, those charged with governance of component,
and component management (including relevant audit documentation and communications).
Management is responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and
indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited
financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon
or make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later
than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon. You agree to provide us written
representations related to the presentation of the supplementary information.
Management is responsible for providing us with a written confirmation concerning representations made by
you and your staff to us in connection with the audit and the presentation of the basic financial statements and
RSI. During our engagement, we will request information and explanations from you regarding, among other
matters, the entity’s activities, internal control, future plans, specific transactions, and accounting systems and
procedures. The procedures we will perform during our engagement and the conclusions we reach as a basis for
our report will be heavily influenced by the representations that we receive in the representation letter and
otherwise from you. Accordingly, inaccurate, incomplete, or false representations could cause us to expend
unnecessary effort or could cause a material fraud or error to go undetected by our procedures. In view of the
foregoing, you agree that we shall not be responsible for any misstatements in the entity’s financial statements
that we may fail to detect as a result of misrepresentations made to us by you.
Responsibilities and limitations related to nonaudit services
For all nonaudit services we may provide to you, management agrees to assume all management
responsibilities; oversee the services by designating an individual, preferably within senior management, who
possesses suitable skill, knowledge, and/or experience to understand and oversee the services; evaluate the
adequacy and results of the services; and accept responsibility for the results of the services.
Use of financial statements
The financial statements and our report thereon are for management’s use. If you intend to reproduce and
publish the financial statements and our report thereon, they must be reproduced in their entirety. Inclusion of
the audited financial statements in a document, such as an annual report or an offering document, should be
done only with our prior approval of the document. You are responsible to provide us the opportunity to review
such documents before issuance.

thereon in a future private placement or other offering of equity or debt securities, you agree that we are under
no obligation to re‐issue our report or provide consent for the use of our report in such a registration or offering
document. We will determine, at our sole discretion, whether we will re‐issue our report or provide consent for
the use of our report only after we have performed the procedures we consider necessary in the circumstances.
If we decide to re‐issue our report or consent to the use of our report, we will be required to perform certain
procedures including, but not limited to, (a) reading other information incorporated by reference in the
registration statement or other offering document and (b) subsequent event procedures. These procedures will
be considered an engagement separate and distinct from our audit engagement, and we will bill you separately.
If we decide to re‐issue our report or consent to the use of our report, you agree that we will be included on
each distribution of draft offering materials and we will receive a complete set of final documents. If we decide
not to re‐issue our report or decide to withhold our consent to the use of our report, you may be required to
engage another firm to audit periods covered by our audit reports, and that firm will likely bill you for its
services. While the successor auditor may request access to our workpapers for those periods, we are under no
obligation to permit such access.
With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financial statements
published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute
information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in those sites or to consider
the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original document.
We may issue preliminary draft financial statements to you for your review. Any preliminary draft financial
statements should not be relied on or distributed.
Engagement administration and other matters
We expect to begin our audit in March 2016.
We understand that your employees will prepare all confirmations, account analyses, and audit schedules we
request and will locate any documents or invoices selected by us for testing. A list of information we expect to
need for our audit and the dates required will be provided in a separate communication.
We are available to perform additional procedures with regard to fraud detection and prevention, at your
request, as a separate engagement, subject to completion of our normal engagement acceptance procedures.
The terms and fees of such an engagement would be documented in a separate engagement letter.
The workpapers supporting the services we perform are the sole and exclusive property of CLA and constitute
confidential and proprietary information. We do not provide access to our workpapers to you or anyone else in
the normal course of business. Unless required by law or regulation to the contrary, we retain our workpapers in
accordance with our record retention policy that typically provides for a retention period of seven years.

Page 6
Pursuant to authority given by law or regulation, we may be requested to make certain workpapers available to
the Minnesota Office of the State Auditor for their regulatory oversight purposes. We will notify you of any such
request. Access to the requested workpapers will be provided to the regulators under the supervision of CLA
personnel and at a location designated by our firm. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of
selected workpapers to such regulators. The regulators may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or
information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies.
Professional standards require us to be independent with respect to you in the performance of these services.
Any discussion that you have with our personnel regarding potential employment with you could impair our
independence with respect to this engagement. Therefore, we request that you inform us prior to any such
discussions so that we can implement appropriate safeguards to maintain our independence and objectivity.
Further, any employment offers to any staff members working on this engagement without our prior knowledge
may require substantial additional procedures to ensure our independence. You will be responsible for any
additional costs incurred to perform these procedures.
Our relationship with you is limited to that described in this letter. As such, you understand and agree that we
are acting solely as independent accountants. We are not acting in any way as a fiduciary or assuming any
fiduciary responsibilities for you. We are not responsible for the preparation of any report to any governmental
agency, or any other form, return, or report or for providing advice or any other service not specifically recited in
this letter.
Mediation
Any disagreement, controversy, or claim (“Dispute”) that may arise out of any aspect of our services or
relationship with you, including this engagement, shall be submitted to non‐binding mediation by written notice
(“Mediation Notice”) to the other party. In mediation, we will work with you to resolve any differences
voluntarily with the aid of an impartial mediator.
The mediation will be conducted as specified by the mediator and agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree
to discuss their differences in good faith and to attempt, with the assistance of the mediator, to reach an
amicable resolution of the Dispute.
Each party will bear its own costs in the mediation. The fees and expenses of the mediator will be shared equally
by the parties.
Any Dispute will be governed by the laws of the state of Minnesota, without giving effect to choice of law
principles.
Time limitation
The nature of our services makes it difficult, with the passage of time, to gather and present evidence that fully
and fairly establishes the facts underlying any Dispute. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any statute or
law of limitations that might otherwise apply to a Dispute, any action or legal proceeding by you against us must
be commenced within twenty‐four (24) months (“Limitation Period”) after the date when we deliver our final
audit report under this agreement to you, regardless of whether we do other services for you relating to the
audit report, or you shall be forever barred from commencing a lawsuit or obtaining any legal or equitable relief
or recovery.
December 10, 2015
City of Stillwater
Page 7
The Limitation Period applies and begins to run even if you have not suffered any damage or loss, or have not
become aware of the existence or possible existence of a Dispute.
Fees
Our fees for these services will be $33,573 (in accordance with our letter dated September 4, 2012). These fees
include travel and other out‐of‐pocket costs such as report production, word processing, postage, etc…. The fee
estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and their assistance with preparing
confirmations and requested schedules. If the requested items are not available on the dates required or are not
accurate, the estimated fee for services will likely be higher. If significant additional time is necessary, we will
provide detailed billing analysis of the additional hours and costs incurred. Our invoices for these fees will be
rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In accordance with our firm policies,
work may be suspended if your account becomes 60 days or more overdue and will not be resumed until your
account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to
have been completed even if we have not issued our report. You will be obligated to compensate us for all time
expended and to reimburse us for all out‐of‐pocket expenditures through the date of termination.
Other fees
You also agree to compensate us for any time and expenses, including time and expenses of legal counsel, we
may incur in responding to discovery requests or participating as a witness or otherwise in any legal, regulatory,
or other proceedings that we are asked to respond to on your behalf. You and your attorney will receive a copy
of every subpoena or request we are asked to respond to. You can control the costs of any discovery process or
document request by informing us which requests you would like us to act on.
Finance charges and collection expenses
You agree that if any statement is not paid within 30 days from its date, the unpaid balance shall accrue interest
at the monthly rate of one and one‐quarter percent (1.25%), which is an annual percentage rate of 15%. In the
event that any collection action is required to collect unpaid balances due us, reasonable attorney fees and
expenses shall be recoverable.
Consent
Consent to use financial information
Annually, we assemble a variety of benchmarking analyses using client data obtained through our audit and
other engagements. Some of this benchmarking information is published and released publicly. However, the
information that we obtain is confidential, as required by ET Section 301 of the AICPA Code of Professional
Conduct. Your acceptance of this engagement letter will serve as your consent to use of the City of Stillwater’s
information in these cost comparison, performance indicator, and/or benchmarking reports.
Subcontractors
CLA may, at times, use subcontractors to perform services under this agreement, and they may have access to
your information and records. Any such subcontractors will be subject to the same restrictions on the use of
such information and records as apply to CLA under this agreement.

Agreement
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately summarizes the
significant terms of our engagement. This letter constitutes the entire agreement regarding these services and
supersedes all prior agreements (whether oral or written), understandings, negotiations, and discussions
between us. If you have any questions, please let us know. Please sign, date, and return the enclosed copy of
this letter to us to indicate your acknowledgment and understanding of, and agreement with, the arrangements
for our audit of your financial statements including the terms of our engagement and our respective
responsibilities.

Discuss scoping document for Bergstein Buildings Business Plan Advisory Committee
Community Development Director Turnblad led discussion of a scoping document for the
Bergstein Buildings Business Plan Committee. He stated the Committee's function would be to
develop an operation plan for the future use of the Bergstein Warehouse and Shoddy Mill.
City Planner Wittman reviewed the proposed make-up of the Committee and the expected
timeline for the study, and that final plan adoption is expected by the end of July.
Councilmember Weidner emphasized that all committee members should be aware that the plan
will not be implemented unless funding is raised; and Ms. Wittman responded that the City has
not budgeted the estimated $75,000 necessary for the specific plans to be developed. Community
Development Director Turnblad added that each year, the City does capital improvement planning
to determine what should be funded each year.
Councilmember Menikheim noted the process seems overly complicated. He questioned whether
the committee would really need six months to plan.
Mayor Kozlowski stated that in his opinion, six months seems appropriate.
Councilmember Weidner agreed that six months seemed reasonable, considering all the other
planning issues the City is working on.
City Planner Wittman explained that the process was developed this way to stay on schedule, and
pointed out that the committee is a large group of people with very diverse interests.
City Council Meeting December 1, 2015
Councilmember Polehna commented the six-month timeline seems reasonable, that his only
concern is whether this is a real priority for the City, as he does not want other projects to suffer.
Councilmember Menikheim indicated that he feels the Downtown Revitalization Committee
should be added to the committee list. Ms. Wittman replied that since the Chamber is on the
committee, she felt the Chamber would probably inform the Downtown Revitalization
Committee.
Councilmember Weidner commented he would like to make sure the Committee is strong enough
to say "no," since there may be many organizations that will want a piece of the operation, and
the Committee needs to be able to say that something will not work if it does not support or
enhance the operation.
Councilmember Polehna agreed, and added that interpretation is great, but he hoped organizations
would not expect the City to pay for it all.
City Planner Wittman remarked that the reuse study indicated that the likelihood of a revenue
generator in this facility is very minimal. It is generally recognized that a lot of the work would
be the responsibility of the property owner, the City.
Ms. Wittman informed the Council that a resolution will be brought back to the Council to
establish the committee based on the scoping document. In June a draft plan would be submitted
to the Council, which would include summary rehabilitation recommendations.
Update on Solid Waste & Recycling Contract
City Clerk Ward explained that the City's current contract with Waste Management expires on
December 31, 2015. Staff members have been in negotiations with Waste Management since June
and will bring back the contract, with a resolution for the rates, for Council approval. The main
change will be quantity limits on appliances and large bulk items.
Discussion on Purchasing Policy
City Administrator McCarty reviewed the current purchasing policy, in light of concerns
expressed by Councilmembers. The question had been raised whether the current procedure for
approval of the purchase of capital outlay items is necessary and/or required by City policy, or
whether the City could manage its capital outlay purchases in a manner consistent with the
purchasing procedure for other services, thereby only requiring City Council approval for
purchase of budgeted capital items in excess of $50,000. This would be more efficient.
Councilmembers voiced preference for the more efficient procedure, that avoided every single
capital outlay purchase to come before the Council. City Administrator McCarty concluded that
appropriate amendatory language and protocols for purchase of budgeted capital items would be
drafted for review, and a resolution to amend the City's Purchasing Policy would be brought back
to the Council.
Discussion on Legislative Agenda
City Administrator McCarty presented a preliminary list of possible legislative agenda items
identified by Councilmembers and staff. It was determined that staff would review the legislative
agendas of the League of Minnesota Cities, State Police Chiefs, and Fire Chiefs Associations, and
Metro Cities to determine what may align with the City's interests. He asked Councilmembers to
do the same thing in preparation for more discussion in January.

STAFF REPORTS
Police Chief Gannaway noted the Council that Toys for Tots are collected in the City Hall lobby
and at the Police Department for drop off December 16. He and Fire Chief Glaser also reminded
the community to make safe decisions during the holidays.
Community Development Director Turnblad updated the Council on committees to be formed
within the City. Over the next three months, the Council will see a list of volunteers and be asked
to make selections for the Downtown Plan, Trail Plan, and Bergstein Operations Plan
Committees. He encouraged Councilmembers to have any interested candidates contact him.
Public Works Director Sanders reminded residents of odd -even parking and no parking from 2-6
a.m. downtown; also on garbage day, to put containers behind the curb to not interfere with snow
plowing.

OPEN FORUM
Leslie Davis, 408 Third Street North, approached the Council about her assessed market value
and resulting 33% tax increase. Mayor Kozlowski pointed out the City taxes are only one portion
of the total tax increase. City Clerk Ward added that an open book meeting is held by Washington
County, which does the assessing for Stillwater. City Administrator McCarty suggested Ms. Davis
contact the County about the assessed value, and invited her to stay for the Truth in Taxation
hearing covering the City's portion of property taxes.

Councilmember Weidner asked City Attorney Magnuson if he should recuse himself from voting
on Resolution 2015-212 and if the item needs to be pulled and voted on separately. City Attorney
Magnuson responded that there is no conflict, as it is a non -controversial matter of clearing a
conflict in the title.

Agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible adoption of resolution establishing the Trail Plan Advisory Committee
Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the proposed Resolution establishing the
Trail Plan Committee, and asked for Council clarification on discussion points regarding
formation of the Committee.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim to adopt a resolution establishing a Trail Advisory
Committee. There was no second.
Councilmember Polehna stated he thought the Parks Commission should function as the Trail
Advisory Committee, because there is not a lot of Parks Commission business lately.
Page 4 of 8
City Council Meeting December 1, 2015
Councilmember Junker suggested making the Trail Advisory Committee a subcommittee of the
Parks Commission and incorporating it into the Parks Commission meetings over the next few
months. He added that there appeared to be many people passionate about trails who could add
valuable input, and that a separate subcommittee should be formed to include that input and not
overload the Parks Commission.
Councilmember Menikheim rescinded his motion and suggested changing the name of the Parks
Commission to the Parks and Trails Commission. City Attorney Magnuson noted that it would
take an ordinance amendment to change the Commission's name.
Councilmember Weidner suggested leave the name Parks Commission and acknowledge that they
also handle trail issues. He would not want a separate subcommittee.
Councilmember Polehna agreed. He voiced that perhaps one person from each ward could be
added to the Parks Commission, and then expand its purview to include trails.
Mayor Kozlowski remarked that all those who gave comments during consideration of the Trail
Plan should be invited to serve on the Committee.
Councilmember Polehna added that the new group, Friends of Stillwater Trails, should be
included.
Councilmember Menikheim pointed out that this is really about the growth taking place in the
City.
Mayor Kozlowski stated it would require less staff time to simply add trails as an agenda item at
the Parks Commission meetings, for now.
Councilmember Menikheim concurred that the City could try a subcommittee and then if it does
not work well, maybe it can grow into its own Commission.
Councilmember Weidner stated the Parks Commission should come to the Council and report
whether they can handle the addition of trails issues.
It was the consensus of the Council, to request the Parks Commission, with Friends of Stillwater
Trails invited to add input, and list trails as an agenda item on Parks Commission meetings.
Possible adoption of resolution of findings related to the Bugbee appeal
Community Development Director Turnblad updated the Council with the proposed Findings of
Fact related to the Bugbee appeal.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution 2015-
213, resolution adopting findings of fact, conclusions and order related to an appeal of administrative
interpretation by Robert & Rachel Bugbee, located at 1427 Lydia Circle Case No. 2015-38.
Update on 2015 System Statement
Community Development Director Turnblad provided a letter from LisaBeth Barajas, manager of
the Local Planning Assistance Department of the Metropolitan Council, that responded to
Resolution 2015-203, which challenged the 2015 System Statement. He explained that the letter
acknowledged the City's Resolution, and accepted the City's position that the Minar and
McKusick Road North neighborhoods would not be included in the 5 unit per acre aggregate
calculation for new development and redevelopment projects.

Presentation: Truth in Taxation and possible adoption of resolutions for 2015 Budget and Tax Levy
City Administrator McCarty and Finance Director Harrison presented the 2016 Truth -in -Taxation
budget, which included total operating revenues; 2016 proposed operating expenditures; and 2016
proposed property tax levy, that resulted in an increase of 6.093% over 2015. Mr. McCarty noted
the property tax system and impacts on property owners.
On a question by Councilmember Polehna if there is a way to get the levy increase under 6%, Mr.
McCarty replied that it would require reduction of the levy by roughly $25,000; for instance,
reduce the debt service portion of the levy by reducing the proposed budget in one of the program
areas, such as street improvements.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution
2015-215, adopting the final budget and the commitment of certain revenue sources for the fiscal year
2016.
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Junker, and Mayor Kozlowski

Possible approval of first reading of Ordinance 1084, amending the Stillwater City Code Chapter 29,
Sewers and Chapter 32, Nuisances
Public Works Director Sanders informed the Council that the City's consultant, WSB, reviewed
the City of Stillwater's ordinances and identified areas that have deficiencies in the area of
Minimum Control Measure (MCM) III, which deals with Illicit Discharge Detection &
Elimination according to the new requirements of the MS4 General Permit. Illicit discharge is
generally defined as any non -storm water drains into the City's storm sewer system. Mr. Sanders
summarized changes required to bring the City's ordinances into compliance with the new
requirements of the MS4 General Permit.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve first reading
of Ordinance 1084, amending the Stillwater City Code to comply with current requirements of the
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit.

year contract. The lowest responsible bidder is with Plymouth Ridge Inc., DBA Coverall Twin
Cities in the amount of $27,744. Staff recommends that the proposal from Plymouth Ridge Inc.,

Re: Rollover of 2015 Capital Funds
December 9, 2015
At its regular meeting on December 8, 2015, the Board of Trustees passed a motion requesting that
the City Council roll the following 2015 capital funds into 2016. A number of projects identified for
2015 would best be accomplished in 2016 when combined with approved 2016 capital funds. As an
example, both the 2015 and 2016 budgets include funds for new data projectors for meeting rooms.
We think that we may be able to get better pricing by combining the two projects. Also, bids
received for building improvements exceed the 2015 capital budget and must be combined with the
2016 budget to accomplish.
• Rollover $9,407 in Operations Capital from 2015 to 2016.
• Roll over $18,037 in Plant Capital from 2015 to 2016.

CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: November 18, 2014
REGARDING: Extension of 2014 Annual Contract for Mowing, Snow Removal and
Clean Up Services with C. Hassis Snow Removal & Yard Services, LLC
and MSP Outdoor Services
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
BACKGROUND
On March 18, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 2014-044 authorizing contracts for
services related to mowing, snow removal and property clean up. The Resolution was
approved after the City conducted a request for service proposals and determined the lowest,
responsible bidders. The contracts, however, had no expiration date and 011 November 18, 2014
the Council adopted Resolution 2014-183 authoring the contracts to extend to December 31,
2015. Both consultants have performed their work professionally and have agreed to maintain
their prices for an additional two years.
However, since the inception of the city's mowing, snow removal, and property clean up
services in 2008, the program has not been reviewed for determination of what is working and
what is not. In conjunction with the Police and Finance departments, Community Development
staff reviewed the program and proposed modifications to each of the vendors in a contract
addendum. Both vendors have agreed to the addendum provisions while maintaining their
service rates through December 31, 2017.
ADDENDUM PROVISIONS
In regards to the work of the consultant, the addendum focuses on reoccurring mowing
provisions, the inclusion of ice removal from sidewalks, and notation to the requirements of the
adopted building code, if applicable. Generally speaking, no actions the contractor performs
will require a building permit however, in the circumstance where security measurements may
need to be made, and a building permit is required, city staff would like to ensure the work is
done in conformance with the adopted provisions of the building code.
Additionally, in the past few years there have been circumstances where the City has called a
contractor to perform work but the homeowner has rectified the violation by mowing their yard
or shoveling their sidewalk before the contractor comes to the property. In the seven years of
implementation of the program, the City has paid $10 to the contractor. Staff is proposing
increasing this to $25.
Page 1 of 2
Provisions for removal from the provisions of routine mowing/snow removal have been made.
There have been circumstances where the City was unaware work was routinely being
performed on a property where the property owner has been conducting the work. In addition
to working in greater coordination with the finance and building departments, police and
planning staff will rely on the contractor to report when it appears the property is being
maintained.
Invoicing for services will be conducted twice monthly. This will help ensure the City is able to
assess the property (or report on current assessments) more frequently.
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff requests the Council to approve the attached resolution, approving an extension of the two
contracts with the 2016-2017 contract addendum for: 1) for mowing, snow removal, and clean
up services with C. Hassis; and 2) for yard clean up and securing of property to MSP Outdoor
Services through December 31, 2017.

MEETING DATE:
REGARDING:
PREPARED BY:
December 1, 2015
Bergstein Reuse Committee
Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
RELEVANT BACKGOUND
In June the Council received a draft reuse study for the Bergstein Warehouse and Shoddy Mill.
The study's assessment of the two structures indicated full rehabilitation of the warehouse
would require reconstruction of the second floor support system, installation of new stairs,
elevator and HVAC system. As the cost associated with the rehabilitation of the building will
be the responsibility of the City, and it was assumed unlikely interior uses would generate
enough funding cover the costs associated with the interior rehabilitation and exterior
restoration, the Council upheld the recommendations of the HPC and determined the partial
rehabilitation should occur. Partial rehabilitation includes the complete restoration of the
exterior facades of both buildings, including modifications to openings depending on the final
use of the property, as well as interior rehabilitation of the mill and the first floor of the
warehouse.
Proposed uses identified in the reuse study included basic services for trail users restrooms,
snack bar, historic interpretation, community program and exhibit spaces, a National Parks
Service visitor contact station as well as a potential bike repair or rental facility. Three primary
themes stood out during the study process: take advantage of the riverfront location and
proximity...to the trail; focus on recreational/non-motorized activities; and commercial
amenities should provide only basic amenities for trail users. The Council also learned certain
agencies and organizations were willing to partner with the City on the seasonal operations and
programming so the Council determined the City would develop a reuse committee to
formulate the business and operations plan for the two structures.
SCOPING DOCUMENT
Attached the Council will find a Scoping Document for the Reuse Plan Committee. The intent
of the Scoping Document is to provide a framework for the Committee and to help guide staff
in the development of an operations plan for the structures and site. The primary function of
the Bergstein Building's Reuse committee is to take responsibility for the development of an
operation plan for the future use of the Bergstein Warehouse and Shoddy Mill while making
specific recommendations for the rehabilitation and interpretation of the buildings. Members of
the committee will include:
Stakeholder Agency/Organization
Stillwater City Council
Department of Natural Resources*
Stillwater HPC
Washington County Historical Society
ArtReach St. Croix*
Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce
Sustainable Stillwater's Friends of Trails*
At -Large
National Parks Service*
St. Croix River Association
Stillwater Parks Commission
Upper Midwest Jewish Historical Society*
Stillwater CVB
Independent Business Association
St. Croix Boat and Packet*
At -Large
* Representatives of these organizations were identified during the reuse study process as
having an interest and willingness to partner with the City in programming and exhibits.
The committee is anticipated to create the plan within six months. During this process the
committee will identify:
• The specific community programming activities and events that will occur in the
buildings.
• The physical resources required for each of the specific programming activities.
• Clear, concise and accurate recommendations for the interior rehabilitation and exterior
restoration needs.
• The human resources required for each of the specific programming activities.
• The programming and operational commitments of each stakeholder
agency/ organization including the roles and responsibilities of each partnering
agency/ organization as well as the City of Stillwater.
• Site-specific interpretation theme.
While the reuse study identifies this committee as the party responsible for the development of
rehabilitation plans, the City has not budgeted the estimated $75,000 necessary for the plans to
be developed. Therefore, the committee will explore rehabilitation plan options. It is expected
at least one member of the reuse plan committee will continue to serve in an advisory capacity
for rehabilitation plan development.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND ACTION
The Council should discuss the Scoping Document and provide direction to staff for
modifications and adjustments, as needed. If the Council is comfortable with the Scope of Work
and duties of the Committee, staff will bring a Resolution establishing the Reuse Plan
Committee for consideration of the Council at their next meeting.

BERGSTEIN REUSE PLAN COMMITTEE SCOPING DOCUMENT
A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
In June, 2015, the City Council considered draft recommendations for the future reuse
and rehabilitation of the Bergstein Warehouse and Shoddy Mill, two National Register
listed structures located in Bridgeview Park near the southeastern entrance to the City
of Stillwater. The recommendations came about from a year-long reuse study process
designed to identify the potential reuse and rehabilitation opportunities of and for the
structures. The recommendation to the Council was that the "...the buildings could
function in part as a gateway for visitors to Stillwater... a general consensus that
restrooms and a picnic area should be included as part of any redevelopment and that
vehicle parking should be limited...that any commercial enterprise housed...should not
compete with existing local businesses."
■ Take advantage of the Riverfront Location and proximity...to the trail;
■ Focus on recreational/non-motorized activities;
■ Commercial amenities should provide only basic amenities for trail users.
Specifically noted, basic services for trail users, historic interpretation, community
program and exhibit spaces, and a National Parks Service visitor contact station could
be incorporated into the Warehouse. The Mill could serve as a snack bar, bike repair or
rental facility or other trailside amenity. Amenities and day-to-day maintenance would
be provided through a low-cost or no -cost lease agreement between the city and a
private concessionaire (rentals, snack shop, etc.). The concessionaire would take care of
day-to-day maintenance and security and would take the lead in scheduling events.
The reuse study acknowledges "... [a]s public buildings, the mill and warehouse have
limited potential to generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs of rehabilitation and
ongoing operation. If the buildings are to be rehabilitated, the city will probably have to
fund the work... [o]fficials and residents generally seemed willing to support some
public investment in the property, but there was also agreement that the rehabilitation
should be accomplished as cost effectively as possible, and that an effort should be
made to generate some sort of revenue stream or barter arrangement that would reduce
ongoing operating and maintenance expenses." However, "[b]ecause of the buildings'
simplicity and relative lack of character -defining original interior features, no
extraordinary measures or artisanal skills will be required to return them to functional
condition....substantial reinforcement of the upper level floor system in the Warehouse
would be required to return that portion of the building to active use." Therefore, the
Council agreed with the recommendations of the reuse study team and the Heritage
COMMITTEE SCOPING DOCUMENT, PAGE 1
The Birthplace of Minnesota
%),
Preservation Commission that partial rehabilitation should occur to the buildings.
Partial Rehabilitation would include the full restoration of the exterior of both
buildings. The interior of the mill and the lower level of the warehouse would be fully
rehabilitated, leaving the interior space of both buildings finished in an open way to
allow for maximum flexibility of use.
B. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The primary function of the Bergstein Building's Reuse Committee (the "Committee")
of the Council (the "Council") of the City of Stillwater (the "City") is to take
responsibility for the development of an operation plan (the "Plan") for the future use
of the Bergstein Warehouse and Shoddy Mill while making specific recommendations
for the rehabilitation and interpretation of the buildings.
A primary goal of the Council is to adaptively reuse these vacant buildings. Following
the anticipated outline, the Committee will identify specific programming and
operation commitment, recommend site-specific interpretation, and draft
recommendations for interior rehabilitation of the structures.
C. COMMITTEE COMPOSITION
Membership
Committee members are appointed by the Council. The Committee shall be comprised
of representatives of the following stakeholder organizations as representatives have
indicated their willingness to partner in the future operations and programming on this
site. In the event the stakeholder organization would not like to participate in the
Committee, the stakeholder may nominate a representative of a different organization
for the Council's consideration or appoint an at -large individual to serve in place of the
agency/ organization.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2015
REGARDING: Contract for Qualified Historian Professional Services
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
BACKGROUND
City Code requires a "designation study" to be completed prior to a City Council decision
to deny a request for a demolition permit. The study must be completed by a historian that
meets the Department of the Interior Standards. The elaborate process necessary to solicit,
select and approve a qualified historian; then to enter into contract for their work is too
lengthy to complete within established time limits. Therefore, the City Council approved
Resolution 2013-109 which adopted a process to pre -approve qualified historians,
conducted a formal Request for Proposals process, and received a single proposal from
Summit Envirosolutions (SEI).
In November 2013, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2013-181 which added SEI to
the preapproved qualified historian list. As part of that approval the City entered into a
two-year contract with SEI for designation studies. That contract is set to expire on
December 31, 2015.
SEI has agreed to maintain their all-inclusive fee for service of $5,000 through December 31,
2017 and their company has more than sufficient experienced staff resources to complete
the fast 60 day turn around needed for the designation studies. However, the City has not
had to utilize their services in the last two-year contract term. As such, staff would like the
Council to extend the contract with SEI for two additional years.
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff requests the Council to approve the attached resolution preapproving Summit
Envirosolutions, Inc. for historian services related to demolition requests.

RE: Renewal of Wolf Tour Cycle License
BACKGROUND
Pat Wolf has been operating the Wolf Tour Cycle ("BierCycle") in Downtown Stillwater for
about three and a half years now. She is requesting renewal of the license for 2016.
COMMENTS
1. Police Chief Gannaway reports that no complaints were filed, nor were any public safety
issues or parking issues of substance brought to the City's attention during 2015.
2. Wolf plans to operate the business in 2016 much the same as in 2015. This includes tours
during the winter as weather permits. Also, she offered her business as an activity
associated with other events, such as the WCHS ice cream social. When she does this,
her Cycle is included in the event permit application that is submitted by the event
organizer.
3. The cost of the reserved parking space by the pedestrian walkway has been set by the
Council, at the Parking Commission's recommendation, at $3 per day for the single space
that is needed. This is the same rate charged to the Stillwater Trolley Company.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution, which conditionally authorizes staff to issue
the 2016 license.

Public Works Department, the City Clerk is authorized to issue a license to Patricia

4. No license will be issued or renewed without proof of general liability insurance in
the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

following:

to these areas.

parked in a specified location while idle or waiting for customers.
k. Upon receipt of any serious substantiated complaints, as determined to be
serious and substantiated by the City Administrator, the license will be placed

employees of this agreement and the services which are available to them.
III. Use of Name:
The City of Stillwater agrees to allow The Sand Creek Group, Ltd. to list the City as a

IV. Eligibility:
EAP is a service intended to provide short term assessment and brief counseling services to
a wide variety of personal and work-related stressors. The service is intended to evaluate
relevant information regarding the history of the concerns brought to the EAP by he client;
the current status of the concerns; and the impact they are having on the client. EAP 's
goal is the construction of an action plan to help the client/s deal with their concerns in a
successful fashion. Some times the action plan can be successfully implemented exclusively
within the EAP. In other cases, the action plan may entail referring the client to a variety
of community resources that can provide longer term or specialized services that are beyond
or outside the scope of the EAP.
The EAP benefit is focused on the individual client whenever an employee or covered family
member runs up against individual events, conditions or circumstances that don't envelop
other members of the family system. In that case, the individual client is eligible to use up to
a certain number of counseling sessions clearly defined in the EAP contract. When an event
(i. e. — marital/relationship struggles; divorce; death of a family member; etc.) impacts part or
all of an entire family unit, the EAP benefit is available for all family members to use
collectively in the initial stages of addressing the impact of that family event. The EAP
sessions are intended to define a broader plan of action that includes all involved family
members. In many situations that involve multiple family members, the variety of counseling
and emotional support needs that exist oftentimes goes beyond the EAP benefit. When that is
the case, our goal is to help all impacted family members utilize the EAP benefit in a
collective fashion to help guide them towards additional support and counseling services,
either individually or as a family.
V Employee Participation:
A working policy of the EAP is that Employee participation in the EAP will affect
neither future employment or advancement nor protect employee from disciplinary
action for continued substandard performance.
VI. Reporting:
The Sand Creek Group, Ltd. will provide quarterly reports on program utilization.
No information on individual employees will be released outside of The Sand Creek
Group without the written consent of the employee.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
Memo
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Tim Moore, Public Works Superintendent
Date: December 9, 2015
Re: Possible Purchase Sewer Televising Camera
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department uses televising equipment, camera and software, in the sewer
department to use for inspecting sanitary and storm sewer mains. This equipment is used on a
regular basis to assess the condition of the city's underground facilities before construction
projects, to monitor cleaning of our bi-annual pipe cleaning locations and locating
undocumented areas.
DISCUSSION
The current software and camera were purchased in 2009. The software operates on a
Windows XP platform that is no longer supported and the software manufacturer is no longer
in business. Also, the camera has recently failed and is a discontinued model with no available
parts. Staff is proposing replacement of both the software and camera. We have received three
quotes from vendors ranging from $36,583.40 to $78,886.00. Flexible Pipe from St. Joseph, MN
submitted the low quote. Staff has worked with this vendor on several different sewer
equipment purchases with available service maintenance and feel they have met the
department needs very well. Staff has budgeted $25,000.00 in the 2016 CIP for sewer televising
upgrades and $11,583.40 would come from the 2015 Sewer CIP.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the purchase of sewer televising camera and software from
Flexible Pipe St. Joseph, MN for $36,583.40. The funds will come from 2015 and 2016 Sewer CIP

the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an emergency, the
authorized enforcement agency may take such steps as deemed necessary to
prevent or minimize damage to the MS4 or Waters of the United States, or to
minimize danger to persons.
Subd. 4. Suspension due to the detection of illicit discharge. Any person
discharging to the MS4 in violation of this ordinance may have their MS4
access terminated if such termination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge.
The authorized enforcement agency will notify a violator of the proposed
termination of its MS4 access. The violator may petition the authorized

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
TO: Mayor & Council Members
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: December 9, 2015
SUBJECT: Veterans Memorial Expansion — Concept Approval
PROPOSAL
The Veterans Memorial Board is hoping to increase the size of their memorial grounds at Municipal
Parking Lot 19. The purpose of the expansion is to create more area for their paver program. The
expansion would result in the loss of ten parking spaces.
The City Council considered the concept on November 17, 2015. While the proposal to expand the
memorial was received well, the mitigation for the ten lost spaces was not resolved. Staff was directed to
estimate the cost of expanding Municipal Lot 18 to compensate for the lost spaces.
REQUEST
The Memorial Board requests the City Council to discuss and approve the proposed concept to expand the
memorial and mitigate the loss of ten spaces with proof of parking in Municipal Lot 18.
COMMENTS
As seen in the attached air photo, the south side of Municipal Lot 18 currently has six parallel parking
spots. If the lot were expanded to allow 90° angled parking here, the lot could create about eight
additional spaces. This is to say that the southern bay of spaces could be increased to fourteen spaces,
whereas it currently has six. (See attached sketch.)
This would compensate for eight of the ten spaces lost in Lot 19.
In 1998 the former Stillwater Junior High School site was proposed as the new home of the Cub
Corporate Office. To meet the parking needs, and keep Cub in Stillwater, the City offered to build
parking lots across 3rd Street for 161 cars. The total parking need for the building's space was 210, of
which at least 52 were to be provided on the Cub site. (58 were actually constructed.)
As currently configured, the three public lots have a total of 157 spaces. Together with the 58 spaces on
Cub's property, there are 215 spaces available. This exceeds the 210 required for the Cub building.
Vets Memorial Expansion
Page 2
Cub Foods has recently moved many of their staff out of the office building in Stillwater to SuperValu's
corporate office in Eden Prairie. Therefore, the number of parking spaces currently available far exceeds
the office building's parking needs.
The Memorial Board is requesting that if the lost parking spaces are needed in the future, the City would
pay for constructing those spaces.
POTENTIAL COST TO CITY
The City Engineer estimates that if the bay of fourteen spaces (a net increase of eight spaces) were
constructed today, the cost would be $54,596.
If the Council agrees with the Veterans Memorial Board and only requires five spaces to be mitigated',
then three of the eight spaces gained in the fourteen space expansion could be eliminated. The cost of
constructing this alternative would be 21.4% less (3 less of the 14 spaces; 3/14ths; 21.4%), or $42,912.
ACTION NEEDED EVENTUALLY
If the Council approves the project conceptually, the Memorial Board would need to submit formal plans
and an application to the City for:
• Design review approval by the Heritage Preservation Commission;
• Parking mitigation plan review by the Downtown Parking Commission; and
• City Council approval of:
o Parking mitigation plan
o Amendment to existing Municipal License as approved by Res No. 2002-125
o Amendment to the existing Parking Lot Maintenance Agreement
ACTION REQUESTED
The Veterans Memorial Board is asking the City Council to:
1) Conceptually approve the proposed expansion and loss of ten parking spaces.
2) Require the mitigation of only five of the ten lost spaces.
3) Approve "proof of parking" as mitigation for the five spaces.
4) Approve the use of public funds to construct the five spaces if they are needed in the future.

Stillwater Veterans Memorial Master Plan
11-17-15 Larson Architects LLC
Mr. Mayor and Council
I have been working with the Stillwater Veterans Memorial committee over the past year, reviewing their existing
site and considering long-range maintenance and improvements. As you may know, the memorial has been
successfully funded and maintained through donations and memorial paver sales. Though paver sales have
been strong, the available space for pavers is diminishing. Currently there are 1314 existing pavers in place,
with about 30 remaining spaces for future pavers.
Planning and discussions ten years ago considered pavers could potentially be distributed around the perimeter
of the site if needed. But the multiple uses of the site (including parking and other events), and the input and
desires of those purchasing pavers has strongly suggested that the central axis of the site is the best place for
additional pavers. Grouping pavers along this central axis helps consolidate the memorial area, avoid conflict
with other uses, and enhance the purpose and sense of place that has developed near the memorial structure.
By making this central axis slightly wider, a stronger identity and spatial definition for the memorial - distinct from
the parking lot - is created. Not surprisingly, people who purchase pavers for loved ones want to have them
along this axis and near the memorial itself.
The most simple and direct way of achieving a compact, consolidated memorial area is to extend the width of the
planter and paver "islands" at the center and north end of the axis to match the width that already exists on the
south end of the site. This would result in the loss of eight parking spaces at the center island area, and two
space at the north, for a total proposed reduction of ten parking spaces. With these additional island areas, we
calculate that 520 additional pavers could be added, which will be more than enough for the foreseeable future.
We understand a City agreement with Cub/Supervalu notes there are about 210 off-street parking spaces in the
area. To the best of our knowledge, in the past 20 years, the surface lots have never been filled or fully utilized,
with many of these spaces seldom if ever used. We also understand that Supervalu is currently trying to lease
space in their building. In preliminary discussions with Supervalu real estate sales people, they appear reluctant
to endorse any potential loss of parking, due to uncertainty of their leasing situation.
However, the reduction of 10 spaces from 210 spaces would seem to be fairly insignificant in impact, especially
considering the available on -street parking near the area. If future circumstances should ever warrant, there
appears to be room for spaces to be added in the area. If the lot just south of the Memorial site were expanded,
at least 6 spaces could be added, and there appears to be potential for about 10 spaces that could be added on
the southeast corner of the CUB site itself.
On behalf of the Stillwater Veteran's Memorial Committee, I ask that you consider this request to allow reduction
of 10 parking spaces in the Riverview parking lot, to help enhance the Memorial and provide space for pavers
that will support and maintain this valuable asset to our City for generations to come.
Thank you

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Council
From: Rose Holman, IT Manager
Date: December 11, 2015
Subject: Joint Powers Agreement with the Board of Water Commissioners
The Board of Water Commissioners (Water Board) has had a need for IT support for some time.
The City IT staff put together a proposal to provide that support to the Water Board. The
proposal included infrastructure upgrades necessary for the IT staff to take over support of their
computer systems and laid out the type of support that will be provided. This proposal was
presented to the Water Board at their November 12th meeting and was approved.
The attached agreement is the result of that proposal. As stated in the agreement the City IT
staff will be taking over support for the Water Board's IT systems and the Water Board will pay
the City $6,000.00 for 2016. This amount will be reevaluated for 2017 to determine if this is a
fair figure.
The agreement was approved and signed by the Water Board at their meeting on December 10th
It is now before the City Council for approval and signature.

SUBJECT: RFP for Police Station remodel and City Hall improvements
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
During the development of the 2016 budget, the City Council decided to fund the first phase of the Police
Station remodel next year. In addition, funds were budgeted for a variety of improvements to City Hall
as a whole. Both improvement projects will be combined and a Request for Proposals (RFP) has been
drafted to provide design services.
COMMENTS
Requested design services include:
1. Development of preliminary Police Station design plans consistent with the 2013 space study.
2. Development of preliminary design plans for City Hall improvements that include:
Building access control system (card readers); building security cameras; security upgrades
for council chambers and receptionists; emergency generator upgrades; foundation water-
proofing; re -cabling for IT; entrance canopy for employee entrance at NW corner of City
Hall; clock tower roof rehab; parking lot lighting; mechanical systems review (& update?)
3. Development of construction phasing plan to accommodate Police Depal tment operations and
project funding.
i. The phasing identified in the space study (attached) is not intended to be absolute. A
different phasing sequence is possible as long as it accommodates Police operations and
does not exceed available funds for the phase.
ii. The total project costs are estimated to be under $2.5 million Around $2 million of this
would be for Police Station expansion and remodeling. The remainder would be for City
Hall improvements.
iii. Funding for the first phase of the project is set at $1,116,500'. This is to include design
and construction documents for all phases of the project; access control system (card
readers) for entire City Hall; re -cabling for IT needs in entire City Hall; emergency
generator updates; entrance canopy for the employee entrance; and foundation water
proofing.
' Though the RFP does not include these details, the budgeted $1,116,500 for the first phase is to be allocated
roughly as follows: $200,000 for design services; $740,000 for 1St Phase of Police Station work; $50,000 for City
Hall access control system; $40,000 for IT cabling; $6,000 for emergency generator upgrade; $15,000 for canopy
over NW entrance to City Hall (employee entrance); and $66,500 for foundation water proofing.

CITY OF STILLWATER
Police Station Expansion Study
March 5, 2013
Recommendations of the Core Group Committee
A Police Station Expansion Study has been completed to identify the operational deficiencies and projected space
needs of the City of Stillwater Police Department now and into the anticipated future. The intent of the study is to
determine how to best expand into and utilize the existing Fire Station in the event that it becomes available once a
new Fire Station is constructed at the New Armory site.
The Core Group Committee has convened and met six times including once to tour recently constructed example
police stations in the neighboring communities of Cottage Grove and Inver Grove Heights. They have studied issues
and requirements relative to the mission of the Police Department and have developed the following recommendation:
Space Needs Recommendation
The established guiding principles for facility planning suggest the Police Station should be planned to meet City of
Stillwater's anticipated population for the next twenty years. Because projected general population growth in the city
is relatively stable, this was not an important factor. It is important to accommodate the operational needs of the
Police Department within a contiguous, secure environment that allows for the collaboration of the entire Police
Department. This shall occur in a manner where law enforcement activities are strengthened and made more efficient
because of the cross pollination of information and efforts.
• The Core Group Committee understands and recommends that the primary need is to provide adequate spaces
for Police functions. There are which currently deficiencies in locker rooms, evidence storage and processing,
patrol and investigation spaces, conference and interview rooms, and vehicle storage. Approximately 21,126 SF
will be ultimately needed to accomplish the Police Department patrol, investigations, evidence and processing,
records, training, administration functional objectives and vehicle storage now and for the next twenty years.
Space calculations are the result of a detailed description and analysis of space needs. On pages 13-15 of this
report a program of space needs are detailed. Currently there is only approximately 9,100 square feet (SF) in
the existing Police Department, including all garage functions.
• The Core Group Committee understands and recommends that efficient and secure Police Departments
maintain a contiguous secure perimeter, keeping confidential police operations separated from the public. In
addition, interview rooms where police can privately meet with public, separated from the public, but not within
the secure perimeter are also essential. Currently, spaces utilized by the Police are bifurcated by City Hall staff
and publicly accessible hallways. In addition, there are currently no interview rooms to be used by the public
without entering into the secure perimeter.
• Police vehicles are currently left parked in an open parking lot which allows minimal parking. Police
Department vehicular resources serve as important assets and are shared by all officers. During shifts which
have fewer officers on duty, there are unutilized squads which need to be stored in a protected and tempered
environment to prevent unnecessary degradation of mechanical and electronic equipment in each squad.
Currently there is no dedicated indoor squad parking — the garage spaces in the building are used for evidence
parking and quick visits in and out of the facility for on -duty officers who need to bring a suspect in custody
into the facility. Considering the quantity of costly technical electronic equipment in the squads and the need to
respond quickly without weather impacts, it is recommended to provide enclosed Police Department vehicle
parking for safekeeping of these important resources.
Page 3 Commission No. 122219
CITY OF STILLWATER
Police Station Expansion Study
March 5, 2013
Facility Recommendation
The existing police facility is located at 216 4th Street North in Stillwater, Minnesota.
• The Core Group Committee's recommended option is a remodeled, contiguous Police Department at the City
Hall site with secure, tempered parking located on the ground level in the current Fire Station Apparatus Bays
for critical law enforcement vehicles. Evidence Processing and Storage as well as vehicle support functions
would be located directly off of the vehicle parking area. Patrol Officer and Sergeant work spaces are proposed
to be the next closest to the garage. The appropriate space is proposed to be provided by infilling the area
between the Fire Station and City Hall structures with a small building addition. As well as providing the
required spaces, this addition also serves to unify the department into one facility instead of presenting a
department occupying two distinctly different facilities. Public entry into the Police lobby and the building's
public circulation system is proposed to occur where the easternmost garage door currently exists on the south
facade.
The Core Group Committee looks forward to commencing the next steps in the planning process of Schematic
Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Bidding, Construction and Occupancy with regular
updates and approvals of the City Council.

• Analysis of current operations
• Department Interviews
• Projection of future operational opportunities
Growth Needs Analysis
• Review and approval of projected growth needs
• Space deficiencies explored
Facility Analysis
• Analysis of current facility utilization and capacities
Step 2:
Program
Options
• Development of a program of spaces
• Discussion of potential future operational models
• Refinement of basic program needs

Guiding Principles and Strategies for Implementation
Guiding principles and strategies for implementation were developed by the Core Group in order to define the role,
image and mission of the Police Department functions for the City and served as objectives for the planning of the
resulting facility.
1. A public "Police Department" identity/entrance at City Hall.
2. A contiguous, secure Police Department is ideal.
3. Better evidence/property management, processing and storage.
4. Achieve best function organization for the department, not just expansion.
5. Create private "public" interaction spaces near the public entrance.
6. A design that creates a natural workflow organization.
7. A comfortable work environment which staff takes pride in.

Current and Future Operations
The number of Police Department personnel is the basis for determining space needs. The projection of personnel is
based on a variety of factors. The following assumptions were used as a basis for projecting staff needs:
• The Police Department will continue to provide the services it currently provides.
• The staff necessary to provide services will continue to incorporate new efficiencies to minimize growth.
Methodology
Wold Architects and Engineers used a survey and meetings with each division within the Police Department to gather
base line information and operational descriptions for use in projecting personnel needs. The survey data is
summarized in the following pages by division.
Three primary forecast models were used to develop staff projections. These three forecast models are described
below. Ultimately Model 1 was used to inform this study and the trends that the Police predicts for their staffing.
Model 1 is the management's estimate of employee growth based, in part, on current and projected workloads. The
divisions provided personnel forecasts for a twenty year horizon. For divisions that have been functioning for a
number of years, particularly if the same division head has witnessed personnel trends, Model 1 is a good predictor
of future personnel growth trends.
Model 2 assumes that a given division will grow at the same rate that it has grown in the past decade. In most cases,
divisions have been reduced due to the economic conditions affect on budgets and staffing over the last five years, so
this model is not considered to provide good trends.
Model 3 ties personnel growth to the growth of City population. This model assumes that growth in the department or
division will occur in direct proportion to City population. This model is based on the premise service provided and
staff efficiency are constant. The Metropolitan Council's January 1, 2013 Projections were used as the baseline for
general population projections.
The number of citizens in the City is typically proportional to the number of patrol officers on staff. However, because
general population growth is predicted to be very stable, the indicator of projected general population growth was not
seen as very useful. Instead, Model 1 was utilized, basing any preparation for future staff growth on the anticipated
needs of the department or new operations that are predicted.

Facility Analysis
A team from Wold, including an Architect, a Mechanical Engineer and an Electrical Engineer toured the existing
Police and Fire facilities with the goal of observing and noting the operation and the condition of the existing building
components regarding their impact on the Police Expansion Study. Notable observations are conveyed below.
Site
• The public entry is accessible via the breezeway between the Fire Department and Police Department or down one
floor by elevator through the main public entry on the second level. The police public service desk entry has poor
visibility from either approach.
• Public parking is available on the street or in the small lot northwest of the City Hall. This north lot is not very visible
to the unfamiliar visitor to City Hall.
• Parking for staff is available in the lots northwest of the City Hall and south of the Fire Station in awkward, double
deep stalls.
• Squad car access from 4th Street North is direct, but on-site vehicular circulation becomes difficult due to the limited
area for squad car and administrative parking and the sharing of vehicular circulation with the fire station.
Exterior
• The structural system is steel framed with concrete retaining walls below grade.
• The exterior is typically a red brick with accents of stone and metal paneling canopies.
• The roof on the fire station is believed to be the original ballasted membrane roof.
• Windows are vinyl clad, wood windows with thermopane glazing.
Interior
• Partition walls are a combination of gypsum board over steel studs and concrete block walls. It is believed that most
concrete block walls are not part of the bearing system of the upper level.
• Finishes are typically vinyl tile in circulation areas and carpet elsewhere; gypsum board walls with vinyl wall covering
with random tears and signs of wear; and 2' x 2' acoustical ceiling tile, which appeared dirty. Most finishes are fairly
worn and are not worth retaining during a remodeling.
Accessibility
• Although some accessible features have been incorporated, all staff toilets, locker rooms and showers observed did
not meet current accessibility guidelines.
• Accessible public restrooms for the facility are located on the third floor.
Program
• Evidence intake and storage are inadequately sized and secured and more importantly separated from each other.
• Limited indoor vehicle parking is available, putting sensitive mobile equipment at risk.
• The spaces occupied by the Police are not contiguous making the creation of a secure perimeter difficult.
• There are no interview rooms for meeting with the public outside of the Police office space.
• Locker rooms do not meet the current standards for personal equipment and gear storage and charging.

Life Safety
• The facility is fully sprinkled and both the City Hall/Police and the Fire Station buildings are protected by the same
Simplex 4020 addressable fire alarm control panel, located in main electrical room. Panel is beyond its expected
service life and the manufacturer no longer supplies replacement parts. A full -building fire alarm system replacement
is recommended as part of any significant building renovation.
Mechanical Systems
Plumbing Systems:
• Most of the plumbing systems were renovated in 1996 and appear to be in good condition. The plumbing fixtures
have approximately 25 years left on their expected service life and the piping has approximately 35 years left on its
expected service life.
• There is one water service that provides water to both buildings. Two water heaters, located in the fire department
building, installed in 2012, provide domestic hot water to the entire facility. The expected service life of the water
heaters is 15 years. The lower level of the police building has sump pumps, installed in 1996, for drainage of the
sublevel area wells and elevator pit.
• It is recommended to only replace plumbing systems as part of a renovation project if needed to accommodate a new
floor plan layout.
Hydronic Systems:
• The entire facility is served from a heating plant. The heating plant, located in the sublevel of the police building, has
two Patterson Kelley boilers which are in excellent condition. One boiler was installed in 2006 with 750,000 Btu/hr
capacity and the other boiler was installed in 2004 with 300,000 Btu/hr capacity. The boiler plant has 20-25 years
remaining on its expected service life. There are two base -mounted pumps that circulate heating water throughout
the facility.
• A McQuay 70 ton air-cooled chiller, installed in 2012, provides cooling for the police building only. The fire
department building utilized direct -expansion packaged units for cooling.
• The heating plant and cooling plant should not require modification in a renovation project unless the building area
increases in size. The hydronic piping may need to be reconfigured at terminal equipment if spaces are rezoned.
HVAC Systems:
• Ventilation for the entire police building is provided by a single VAV air handling unit located in the sublevel. This
unit was installed in 1996. Ventilation for the fire department building is provided by two packaged rooftop air
handling units and a gas-fired makeup air unit. The ventilation systems are in fair to good condition.
• If the renovation project significantly alters the fire department floor plan and space usage type, the ductwork in the
area would need to be reconfigured and the rooftop units may need to be replaced to accommodate the rezoning.
Fire Protection Systems:
• The entire facility is fully sprinkled. The sprinkler mains and branchlines could likely remain during a renovation, but
the drops and sprinkler heads would need to be reconfigured to accommodate a new floor and ceiling plan.
Building Automation System:
• Controls are a Metasys system by Johnson Controls. Any new equipment installed as part of a renovation could be
integrated with the existing controls system.

Electrical Systems
Power Service and Distribution:
• One service feeds the entire facility. The service is located off the existing basement fitness room and is 208/120V, 3-
phase, 4 -wire with (2) 800A main circuit breaker disconnects. Based on information from the utility (Xcel Energy) the
peak power demand for the building in the last two years was 151 KVA (420A) — the facility has ample capacity.
• The service feeds two 800A fusible switch distribution switchboards, both located in the main electrical room. There
is ample physical space in these boards to accommodate new switches for a building renovation.
• The fire department area does not contain enough breaker capacity for significant renovation. A new sub -panel (or
panels) will be required to accommodate renovation this area.
Grounding
• There is no visible grounding busbar at the electrical service distribution and data rack locations.
Emergency Power
• The facility contains an indoor Cummins Onan 100kW 208/120V natural gas standby generator with (1) 400A 3 -pole
transfer switch. The generator appears in good working condition. The transfer switch feeds a 400A fusible
distribution switchboard which in turn provides standby power to (2) 100A panelboards (one in fire hall, one in first
floor police). These emergency panels are believed to power select receptacles, lights and equipment.
• Building emergency lighting is currently produced by battery packs, not on the generator. The generator has capacity
to handle the entire building's emergency lighting loads but doing so would require slight modifications to the
distribution system (additional generator output breaker, transfer switch and panelboard). It is recommended that
emergency lighting be added to the generator as part of any significant building renovation.
Lighting
• The building utilizes T8 fluorescent lamps. Fixtures in the police areas are in fair condition and should be considered
for replacement as part of any major renovations that area. Fixtures in the fire areas are in good shape and should be
considered for reuse as part of any renovations that area.
• Local switches are utilized for lighting control throughout the facility. It is recommended that occupancy sensor
control be added as part of any significant building renovation.
• See discussion in Emergency Power (above) regarding emergency lighting.
Systems/Technology
• The police video distribution system utilizes wireless antennae connecting squad cars with network. There is no
paging system within the police areas — police staff utilize radios but may wish to update. Reception is poor in the
basement for all wireless systems. Telecommunications is adequate for present needs. Future needs should be
considered as part of any significant building renovation.

RE: Exploring a Consistent Variance Review Process
Dear Honorable Mayor Kozolowski and City Council Members:
In response to requests from multiple communities and leaders of the Middle St. Croix Watershed
Management Organization, the MSCWMO is initiating a process to explore and develop a consistent
shoreland variance review process in an effort to bring more consistency and to support local
decision makers. The technical review process would consider past precedence of variances issued
along the Lower St. Croix and provide a technical recommendation for local decision makers. The
benefits of this approach include:
• Consistent technical review of ordinance variance requests along the Lower St. Croix.
• Building on the successful model of local collaboration to protect and improve water resources and
the St. Croix.
• Consistent integration of coordinated evaluation of variance requests.
• Increased clarity for applicants whose projects trigger multiple permit requirements.
• Voluntary option for communities to utilize experienced and knowledgeable technical staff to support
the local planning process.
This process will take time and will require input from all agencies, member communities as well as
seeking public input. As additional information becomes available it will be forwarded and shared.
We are optimistic that we can find a fair and reasonable approach that makes the process easier and
provides better outcomes. Please contact me if you have any questions 612-325-3038.
Sincerely,
Brian Feller
