visible and audible effects when they are caused to ignite by a user. The oxidizers include potassium
nitrate, strontium nitrate and potassium perchlorate . Fuels include charcoal, sulfur, starc h, and aluminum .
All chemical composition is contained within the device, and there should be minimal-to-no exposure to
the chemicals under normal conditions of handling of the type typically in vo lved in retail sales operations.
The chemical mixtures are stable to temperatures up to at least 250 °F , and no ignition of these devices
should occur during normal handling, transportation , movement, and storage. A match or other flame or
heat source is required to ignite the fuse on the devices in order to cause the devices to operate.

Public Works Director.
(b) Dumpsters. The Association must furnish dumpsters or roll–off boxes according
to a plan approved by Public Works Staff in sufficient quantity to contain the
accumulation of trash generated by the Celebration and must ensure that all trash
or garbage is collected and hauled away daily in the Event areas. Dumpsters and
trash receptacles in the Event Areas must be picked up and empty each day during
the Celebration. The Event Coordinator may amend the plan and require additional
dumpsters or trash receptacles if the need arises.
(c) Traffic Control. To ensure traffic and pedestrian control the Association must place
standard reflective barricades according to a plan approved by the Public Works
Director or his designee. Barricades may be supplied by the Association, or by the
City. Charges for the City supply of barricades are set forth in the current City Fee

main or hydrants is required, the Association must make arrangements with the City
Water Department and must pay related Water Department fees.

crowds in a number approved by Public Works. Additional portable restrooms
must be provided by the Association if deemed necessary to protect public health
as determined by the Event Coordinator. City Public Restrooms on the Pedestrian
6
Walkway and the South end of Lowell Park will remain open during the Celebration
and the City will supply and equip both restrooms, however, the Association will
be responsible for maintaining, cleaning, staffing and security and supervision for
both restrooms. If the Association elects not to provide these services it must notify
the City at least two weeks prior to the event, and in that event, the Association will
bear the City costs associated with this work.
(f) Irrigation System in Park Property. Lowell Park is maintained by a buried
irrigation system. This system is easily damaged by stakes or posts that are driven
into the ground or by equipment and vehicles running over irrigation heads. For
that reason, stakes or posts longer than 12 inches and more than a quarter inch in
diameter may not be used in the Park.
(g) Grey Water. The Association agrees to ensure that all vendors’ waste water be
discharged into a holding tank approved by Washington County Health
Department. Vendors without an approved holding tank must discharge into grey
water barrels provided by the Association. Disposal costs are the responsibility of
the Association. Grey water barrels or holding tanks shall not be disposed into the
City’s sanitary or storm sewers, for any reason.
(h) Use of City Parking Lots. The City prefers the Association to stage the event in
Lowell Park rather than in public parking lots. If Lowell Park is not flooded and is
not recovering from flood waters, then it should be the primary event venue. Use
of public parking lots will be approved only as an alternate or if sufficient space
does not exist in the Park to accommodate all event activities. If in the opinion of
the City, public parking lots will be needed, then the preferred lots for use would
be Lots 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11. In this event, the City approves, at no cost to the
Association, lots 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11. These lots will be available to the Association
exclusively from Thursday AM until Monday AM of the Event weekend. Lot 11
will be shared with Public Safety as a staging area.
(i) Umbrella Events. By June 1st the Association must submit to the City a complete
list of all “umbrella events.” “Umbrella events” are events taking place during the
time frame of the Lumberjack Days (formerly known as Log Jam) Festival, and
are included in Lumberjack Days (formerly known as Log Jam) Festival
promotional materials, but are not directly produced by the Association.
14. Rules for Vendors.
(a) Food Vendors. All food vendors must be inspected and approved by Washington
County Department of Health and the Stillwater Fire Department and the State
Electrical Inspector prior to beginning operation. The Association must provide a
complete list of all vendors to each of these agencies at least two weeks prior to the
event.
(b) No Camping. No camping in tents, trailers or campers is allowed in the Downtown
during the events.
7
15. Damage to Parks, Paved Trails and Parking Lots. All damage to parks, paved trails,
or parking lots must be repaired at the expense of the Association whether caused by the
Association or its vendors. The City will deduct the cost of repair from Association Deposit,
however, the Association will remain responsible for costs and repairs that exceed the Deposit.
16. Music. Musical entertainment must be selected with the approval of Public Safety.
Public Safety must also review and approve the Media Advertising Campaign before the campaign

no later on each day than set forth as follows: Thursday, 11:00 p.m.; Friday, 11:30 p.m.; Saturday
11:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 10:00 p.m.
17. Downtown Clean-Up. On the day following the close of the Celebration, weather
permitting, the Association will clean Lowell Park and other areas that have been impacted by the
Celebration. The Association is responsible for all costs, incurred for the clean-up of areas
neglected by the Association. The city will run Street Sweepers after the event at no cost to the
Association.

City Facility Meeting Rooms -After Business Hours & Weekends
Over the past few months there are have been security and other concerns that brings the
staff to request consideration of limiting the City's meeting room usage by the public after
normal business hours. The reasons consist of the following :
• No facilities staff available for to monitor entry, closing and use of City equipment
( computer, projector etc.) after normal business hours.
• Security concerns ( equipment attempted to be stolen)
o Doors propped open or not locked and City Hall open to all floors overnight.
o People wandering throughout City Hall.
• Meetings held without cleanup afterward according to the existing policy.
• Availability of Police Department Officers to open and close the building cannot be
guaranteed.
Due to these security concerns and the other issues, staff recommends that the City no
longer provide meeting rooms to the general public or organizations (non-governmental)
after business hours .. Staff would suggest that the public and organizations contact the
library for use of their meeting rooms. The library has facilities staff available to set up
and assist user with equipment (if needed) in the evening.

normal business hours and the weekend by the general public.

Mr. Sanders stated the City can work with Mr. Anderson on the paving portion of the project.

NEW BUSINESS
Possible approval for permit to keep bees – 1007 Sixth Street South
Community Development Director Turnblad explained that Camilla Correll, property owner, has
requested a beekeeping permit and wishes to sell honey from her home. One letter of objection
has been received from a neighbor who has allergies. The application meets all code requirements.
The application meets code and staff recommends one-year conditional approval.
Councilmember Weidner asked if complaints have been received about other current beekeepers’
hives, and Mr. Turnblad replied no.
Councilmember Junker reiterated the concern about allergies.
Mayor Kozlowski stated it always seems like once the hives go in, those with concerns do not
seem to have complaints.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve a one-year
beekeeping permit for Camilla Correll, 1007 Sixth Street South.
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Junker, Polehna, Mayor Kozlowski
Nays: Councilmember Weidner
Possible approval for permit to keep chickens – 911 Owens Street North
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that Chris Seidler, property owner, has
requested a permit to keep chickens. He explained the proposed plans. The application meets code
and staff recommends one-year conditional approval. Two neighbors have objected to the permit,
raising concerns about care of existing animals on the property and about the noise, smell, yard
waste and pests associated with chickens. One letter of support was recei ved. The applicant
indicated if there is strong opposition to the keeping of chickens on his property, he may not
proceed with the keeping of chickens, and would then request a refund of the $50 application fee
associated with the permit request.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Mayor Kozlowski, to approve a one-year
chicken keeping permit for Chris Seidler, 911 Owens Street North.
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Weidner, Mayor Kozlowski
Nays: Councilmembers Junker and Polehna
Councilmember Weidner pointed out that whether or not Councilmembers like the idea of
chickens in the City, the permit process has been established; perhaps the ordinance should be
changed if the Council does not agree in principle with the keeping of chickens in the City.

Councilmember Junker recognized if there are problems with the particular permit, the permit
may be reviewed before a year is up.
Possible approval of resolution approving Stillwater Fire Department application for Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Staffing for adequate Fire And Emergency Response
(SAFER) Grant For $179,526 to hire additional firefighter personnel
City Administrator McCarty informed the Council that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has made two-year grants available to support local fire departments’ needs for
additional firefighter personnel. The program is known as the Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant. The Department’s current firefighter staffing levels would
be enhanced with additional personnel funded through the SAFER grant, allowing for a more
optimum fully staffed fire engine crew on a 24/7 basis. The SAFER grant would fund an additional
full time firefighter position for two years at a cost of $179,526. The SAFER grant does not require
a city cost share, nor an ongoing maintenance of effort commitment beyond the grant closeout
date of June 30, 2020. There is no fiscal impact to the city. Staff recommends the Council approve
the submittal of the application for the grant.
Fire Chief Glaser reiterated that the entire salary and benefit package for the position would be
covered by the SAFER grant. He asked the Council for a resolution of support for the grant
application. The City may not know until late 2017 if the grant is awarded.
Councilmember Weidner asked if there are employment ramifications of releasing the firefighter
if needed at the end of the grant. Fire Chief Glaser replied that according to the grant information,
the City may release the firefighter if it chooses, as long as it complies with the two year term of
the grant. He noted that the Department will likely have openings occur in the period of the grant.
The goal is not to release the additional firefighter, but to have a four -person engine crew,
hopefully permanently, as needs are increasing. Councilmember Weidner expressed concern
about trying to back-door another permanent firefighter position. Chief Glaser responded he is
not trying to back-door another position. Within two years, he would attempt to figure out how
the City could maintain the position and cover the cost of the position. During the course of the
grant period, the City must maintain the staffing it currently has.
Councilmember Weidner stated he feels a grant is a great idea, but it will be tough to say it’s no
longer a full time position at the conclusion of the grant period. He would like to get a person for
two years and then have a better discussion about why there is a need for another full time
firefighter.
Councilmember Junker asked if the new hire would be made aware it is a two year position, and
Chief Glaser stated yes, they would be fully aware of the grant requirements.
Councilmember Weidner asked what happens if that person gets hired away to another
jurisdiction. Chief Glaser replied that during the period of the two year grant, the City has to
maintain the level of staffing. If a full time firefighter retires during the period of the grant, the
City would have to refill that full time position. Technically if the new hire wants to apply for that
full time internal position, they could; then the City would have to refill the grant position for the
remainder of the grant period. He mentioned that the grant was awarded in 2006 but the Council
turned it down - at that time it was a five year position. He feels grant availability may be phasing
out.

Possible purchase of Armory building – request for 90 day extension of Notice of Interest to
Department of Military Affairs
City Administrator McCarty reported that in February 2016, the Minnesota Department of
Military Affairs (DMA) formally offered to sell the Armory Building at 107 Chestnut Street to
the City of Stillwater for an appraised value of $1,200,000. The DMA further requested that the
City formally respond with a Notice of Interest in purchasing the property by May 3, 2016. City
staff has been conducting a due diligence analysis of the Armory Building proper ty, but it is not
yet complete. A 90 day extension of the May 3 deadline would allow the City time to complete
the necessary due diligence analysis. Staff recommends that the Council approve a resolution
requesting a 90 day extension.
Councilmember Junker requested clarification, and Councilmember Weidner explained his
understanding of the process of offering the building for sale. The bill that was introduced by
Representative Dettmer and Senator Housley asked that the City be allowed to purchase the
Armory for $1 and not go through this process; however, DMA Executive Director Kerr wanted
to go through the process.
Mayor Kozlowski thanked Councilmembers Weidner and Polehna and Senator Housley for
spending a great deal of time on the matter and going to the Capitol.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution
2016-087, resolution requesting a 90 day time extension from the May 3, 2016 deadline for submittal
of a Notice of Interest to the Department of Military Affairs for purchase of the Armory Building
Located at 107 Chestnut Street by the City of Stillwater.

Possible resolution approval for Flaherty-Hood Classification Compensation Study and Contract
City Administrator McCarty stated that the Strategic Plan includes an initiative to complete and
implement a classification compensation study for the City. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for
completion of a classification compensation study was issued; eight proposals were received and
a staff committee unanimously recommends award of the contract to Flaherty & Hood P.A. The
study will include all City, Library and Water Board positions. The base cost of the study is
$25,850, which is within the budgeted appropriation. The anticipated time line for completion is
six months. Staff recommends that the Council adopt a resolution approving the proposal and
awarding the contract to Flaherty & Hood P.A.

Possible approval of appointments to Commissions for Downtown Parking, Heritage Preservation,
Human Rights, Park and Recreation
City Clerk Ward updated the Council on openings on the commissions. She noted there has been
discussion about reducing the number of commissioners on the Planning Commission froim nine
to seven.
Councilmember Weidner stated he has been a proponent of making the Council liaison to the
Planning Commission a voting member. He feels that rather than appoint a new member to the
Planning Commission, the Council may want to fill that position with the Council liaison as a
voting member.
Councilmember Menikheim stated he is not in favor of the liaison voting. He has not heard
anything about the Planning Commission being reduced to seven members.
Councilmember Junker stated it appears there is no consistency in numbers on the various
commissions. He would like to see at most seven commissioners because nine is a large number
of people. He also noted in 2016 there has been a lot of absence on the Planning Commission. He
agreed with Councilmember Weidner that the two Planning Commissioners whose terms are up
for reappointment should be reappointed, but this is a good opportunity to reduce the number on
the commission by not appointing a third person.
On a question by Councilmember Weidner why there are nine commissioners on the Planning
Commission, Mr. Turnblad stated that past Councilmember Roush believed that more was better;
however it is an unwieldy number because it is hard to get that many people at the dais. Staff feels
that seven is a good number for all the commissions, but no one should be forced off the
commission; as attrition occurs, the Council could simply not fill vacant positions until the
number reaches seven.
City Attorney Magnuson commented if the Councilmember votes as a Planning Commissioner
liaison, and then they have to sit on the Council and listen to an appeal of a Planning Commission
vote, their vote on the appeal could be perceived to be prejudged.
City Clerk Ward provided history of the issue, stating that prior to 2007, some of the boards and
commissions had a voting Council liaison and some did not. In 2007 the Council in place felt it
was necessary to have term limits, interviews by the Council representative and the commission
chair, and that none of the Council liaisons should be voting members.
Councilmember Weidner recalled that when he was the liaison to the Planning Commission, he
would seek approval from the chair to participate and did not participate often in the discussions.
Mayor Kozlowski commented that having Council liaisons on the commissions seems to have
worked well; they provide perspective on an issue when asked.
Councilmember Polehna stated that even though the liaisons do not vote, they should still have
the opportunity to participate in the discussions.
Councilmember Menikheim acknowledged that when he is a liaison he always feels he has a voice
but no vote. It appears to be working. He does not know how the Council can change one
commission and not the rest. He expressed concern about the possibility of tie votes which could
be cumbersome.
Councilmember Weidner asked why Councilmember Menikheim felt the need to be a voting
member of the Library Board, and is the need the same on the Planning Commission ; and
City Council Meeting April 19, 2016
Page 7 of 9
Councilmember Menikheim replied the difference for him is that the Library Board represented
taxation without representation. As he looked further into it, he found the statute allowed a
Councilmember to be on the Library Board. He did not make an overt attempt to get on the Library
Board; he was asked to be on the Board. He felt that would allow for taxation with representation.
Mayor Kozlowski agreed the Library Board is unique because it functions independently of the
Council. He feels that a voting Council liaison essentially votes twice on the same issue - on a
Commission and then when the issue comes to the Council. It could create confusion if a
Councilmember votes a different way on the Council than he did on the Commission because of
disagreeing with an ordinance, for instance.
Councilmember Junker remarked that, going back to the 1980s when he was a commissioner and
then a Councilmember, he valued the input that the Councilmembers provide on the commissions.
Councilmember Polehna commented he now agrees with Councilmember Weidner that the
Planning Commission is unique because it makes decisions on a lot of issues that do not come
before the Council. The Councilmember liaison should have a vote, at least on the Planning
Commission. In contrast, the Parks Commissioners’ votes are usually recommendations to the
Council, but not the final decisions.
Councilmember Weidner related that Planning Commission Chairman Kocon is very
knowledgeable and runs a good Commission, but he feels there should be participation by the
Councilmember liaison. He questioned why the change was made in 2007 removing the vote from
the Council liaison, and Mr. Turnblad replied it was to achieve consistency among all the
Commissions.
Mayor Kozlowski stated he personally does not have a problem treating the commissions
differently; nor does he have a problem with a Council liaison voting on the Planning
Commission.
Councilmember Menikheim questioned the impact of one vote on a commission, adding that the
Council liaison can bring issues to the Council’s attention. Maybe the question being addressed
is whether the Council has granted too much authority to the Planning Commission. He feels that
just having one Councilmember voting is not going to change anything.
Councilmember Weidner replied that having a vote may change the conversation - the Council
liaison would have no more authority than anyone else, but they would be able to participate in
the conversation freely at the dais, rather than being a complete outsider in the conversation. He
feels this would be beneficial.
Councilmember Menikheim questioned if the Council would be having this conversation if there
were a different Planning Commission chairman, and Councilmember Weidner responded no, he
thinks Mr. Kocon has done a good job. He just does not think the Planning Commission meetings
are structured to facilitate conversation from the Council liaison.
Councilmember Junker stated with nine members at the dais and the Council liaison sitting down
at the table, it lessens the likelihood of the Council liaison participating. That is one reason the
Planning Commission should go to seven people, to have room for everyone at the dais.
City Clerk Ward reminded the Council that one reason the Planning Commissioners sit at the dais
is that their meetings are televised.
Mayor Kozlowski reiterated he is not opposed to reducing the Planning Commission from nine to
seven, nor is he opposed to having a Councilmember with voting privilege on that commission.

Ms. Ward asked for Council opinions about the process, whether it is working to have interviews
prior to appointment, and also about term limits. There is a lot of institutional knowledge on some
of the commissions and the City cannot fill some of the positions. Current term limits are three
terms at three years a piece.
Councilmember Polehna replied that he feels term limits are too much considering the City has a
hard time filling some of these commissions.
Councilmember Weidner suggested as a matter of compromise, rather than deciding whether the
Council liaison should vote, to follow staff recommendation tonight for reappointments, and not
fill the third seat on the Planning Commission, with the intent of reducing it down to seven. He
emphasized it has nothing to do with the applicants or their qualifications.
City Clerk Ward answered any variations would require changes by ordinance or resolution.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to adopt Resolution

Preservation, Human Rights, Parks and Recreation, Planning, and Traffic Safety Review Committee.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tim Moore, Public Works Superintendant
DATE: April 22, 2016
SUBJECT: Possible Purchase Dodge Ram 4500 with Contractor Body and Crane
Background
Currently the City of Stillwater Public Works Department has a 2001 Ford F350 with a
contractors body and crane used in the utilities department. It has 145, 700 miles, is
mechanically unreliable and undersized for the department's needs.
Discussion
Staff has received quotes on State Bid and from Fury Motors on the Dodge Ram 4500 cab and
chassis. State bid contractors do not have any inventory in the 2016 model year, but Fury can
get a 2016. Fury's price is $36, 747.00 or $1793.00 more that State Bid pricing with an increase
of $1000.00 expected for the 2017 model year.
Additionally staff received a quote from Truck Utilities on state bid for the contractors body and
crane of $33,585.90 with a trade of the 2001. Increase on the 2017 state bid pricing is expected
to be 5% or $1679.30. This would be a total increase of $2679.30 for the 2017 model year or
$886.30 more than purchasing the 2016 model year.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the purchase of the new 2016 Dodge Ram 4500 Cab and Chassis from Fury
Motors for $36,747.00 and the contractors body and crane from Truck Utilities on state bid for
$33,585.90 for a total of $70,334.90. Funds will come from the Sanitary Sewer Capital Outlay
carry over of $65,000.00 with the remainder of $5334.90 coming from the Sanitary Sewer
Machinery and equipment Fund.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn 'tenders, Director of Public Works
DATE: April 27th November 24th, 2014
SUBJECT: Long Lake Rain Gardens Agreements
DISCUSSION:
This past year, the Browns Creek Watershed District (BCWD) applied and received a
Clean Water Grant for Rain Gardens in the Long Lake Watershed. This project would
benefit Long Lake by reducing the amount of runoff, phosphorous, and suspended solids
by way of infiltration through rain gardens. The BCWD solicited the project to the
neighborhood and received interest and resulted in several rain gardens being installed
the neighborhood. As part of the grant, a requirement was to get buy in/approval from
the City and cooperate with the District and the homeowners on the project. An
agreement has been prepared by the district which spells out responsibilities and duties of
each party. The City's responsibilities are minimal in that we permit the use of the right-
of-way and will meet to confer on damages due to our maintenance work. Attached is an
agreement from one of the properties in the project area. Since there are number of
agreements for signature it is proposed to have council approve the agreement and give
authority to the City Engineer to sign on the City's behalf.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve agreement as presented and give authority to the
City Engineer to sign on the City's behalf.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass motion approving the
agreement between the Homeowner, City of Stillwater and the Browns Creek Watershed
District on the Long Lake Rain Garden Project and give authority to the City Engineer to
sign the agreements on the City's behalf.
RESOLUTION 2016-093

Gardens Agreements between the homeowner, Browns Creek Watershed District
and the City of Stillwater for installation of rain gardens, as on file with the City
Clerk, is hereby approved.

Engineer to sign the contracts on the City's behalf.

and utility easement on the Property as provided in Exhibit A, consents to the
grant of easement to District and agrees that its rights in the Property are
consistent with the grant of easement to District. The rights granted to District

5. Warranty
a. All construction and maintenance activities undertaken by District and
Homeowner on the Property will be conducted in a safe and workmanlike
manner. In the event the Property is damaged by the District's activities relating
to, or arising from, the exercise of any rights under this agreement, the party
responsible will promptly repair or restore any damage to the Property to the
extent reasonably practicable, including alteration of existing grades and
grading, filling and other activities within the Rain Garden Area as necessary to

Hayner-City of Stillwater-
Brown' s Creek Watershed District
3 Long Lake Neighborhood Rain Garden
Project Agreement
about District programs, District may cite the Rain Garden and its location and may
depict the Rain Garden in text, photographs or other media.
7. Independent Relationship
No employee, representative, contractor or consultant of any party to this agreement
has acted or may act in any respect as the agent or representative of any other party.
8. Remedies
Only contractual remedies are available for a party's failure to fulfill the terms of this
agreement.
9. Indemnification; Immunities
District agrees to def end, after District defense indemnify, and hold harmless
Homeowner and City from and against any and all suits, actions, causes of action,
claims or proceedings arising out of District's design, construction or maintenance
activities pursuant to this agreement, except to the extent such suit, action, cause of
action, claim or proceeding arises from actions or inactions of Homeowner or City for
which that party would be independently subject to liability.
Except as specifically provided herein, each party is responsible for its own acts and
omissions and the results thereof. Minnesota Statutes chapter 466 and other applicable
law govern City's and District's liability. A party's approval of or concurrence in plans
prepared by or on behalf of another party is solely to allow the first party to ascertain
the nature and timing of its own contributions to the work described by this agreement.
Such approval does not in any respect constitute a certification or warranty to the other
party, or any third party, of plans and specifications. No action or inaction of a party
under this agreement creates a duty of care for the benefit of any third party. This
agreement creates no right in and waives no immunity, defense or liability limitation
with respect to any party not a party to this agreement. Notwithstanding any other
term of this agreement, District and City waive no immunities in tort. Pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes section 471.59, subdivision la, neither City nor District will be liable
for the acts or omissions of the other. For purposes of determining total liability for
damages, District and City are considered a single governmental unit and District's and
City's total liability will not exceed the limits on governmental liability for a single
governmental unit as specified in section 466.04, subdivision 1.
10. Insurance
Homeowners will remain solely responsible for maintaining property, liability and
other insurance for their own use of the Property.

clogging will be obvious, in the spring prior to first rain events, and in the
fall after leaf fall.
b.Cleanout of accumulated sediment and debris in the sediment
pretreatment box and on the filter wall of this box.
c.Cleanout of accumulated sediment and debris in the rain garden area.
d.Visually inspect and repair erosion monthly. Use small stones to stabilize
erosion along drainage paths.
e.Re-mulch any void areas by hand as needed.
f.Once a month (more frequently in the summer), visually inspect
vegetation for disease or pest problems.
g.If chemical treatment is desired, use the least toxic approach.
h.Twice a year, first between March 15 and April 30, then again between
October 1 and November 30, remove and replace all dead and diseased
vegetation considered beyond treatment.
i.During times of extended drought, look for physical features of stress
(unrevived wilting, yellow, spotted or brown leaves, loss of leaves, etc.).
Water in the early morning as needed.
j.Weed regularly, as needed.
k.Prune excess growth annually or more often, if desired. Trimmed
materials may be recycled back in with replenished mulch. After

All chemical composition is contained within the device, and there should be minimal-to-no exposure to
the chemicals under normal conditions of handling of the type typically involved in retail sales operations.
The chemical mixtures are stable to temperatures up to at least 250°F, and no ignition of these devices
should occur during normal handling, transportation, movement, and storage. A match or other flame or
heat source is required to ignite the fuse on the devices in order to cause the devices to operate.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards -Suffocation methods should not be used -the devices contain their
own oxygen. Use a strong water flow instead. A fire that has reached consumer fireworks may produce
substantial smoke as well as flame, sparks, and burning projectiles. Once consumer fireworks begin
burning, all persons must immediately evacuate the area. Only fire fighters wearing appropriate safety
equipment should ever consider approaching an area where consumer fireworks are on fire. Remote
firefighting methods should be use whenever possible. Where conditions permit, it may be advisable to
allow the fireworks to bum to completion -this will greatly simplify clean-up efforts.

RE: Ramp Ads Contract
BACKGROUND
Ramp Ads Marketing, LLC has approached the City with a request to consider allowing
them to advertise in the City’s parking ramp.
The Parking Commission heard a proposal from the company in March and approved
of the concept of placing discrete ads in the ramp. They also approved of the method
used by Ramp Ads for installing and removing the ads. Essentially, a shrink-wrap-like
3M film adheres to a wall with heat, and can be removed without wall damage or
residue.
In April the Commission worked through a draft contract. The City would receive 20%
of the advertising revenue and would have no up-front costs.
COMMENTS
• Chris Christian of Ramp Ads will make a short presentation to the Council on
May 3rd.
• The Parking Commission unanimously approved the concept of advertising with
the media and methods presented.
• The Parking Commission unanimously approved the draft contract with two
conditions:
1. Paragraph 1.4 should be revised so that the City would approve each ad
before it is placed. The language currently says that if the City does not
respond to a proposed ad, it will automatically be deemed approved. The
Commission took exception to that and wants a no-answer to mean “no”,
not “automatic approval”.
2. A committee of the Parking Commission will be formed to review each
proposed ad for approval.

services for spaces within Customer’s parking ramp; and
WHEREAS, RampAds has the design, production and installation experience to provide such
services; and
WHEREAS, the Customer desires to engage RampAds to provide advertising services, and
RampAds agrees to provide advertising services on behalf of the Customer;
NOW THEREFORE, based upon these premises and in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, the Customer and RampAds agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Advertising Services
1.1 Exclusive Services by RampAds
In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, RampAds shall provide exclusive sales,
installation and management services for the Customer’s Parking Ramp, excluding all skyway
bridges to the Ramp. RampAds shall sell, install, maintain, repair, modify and reconstruct, as
necessary, visual advertising (“Signs”) in spaces set aside for this purpose in all existing
Customer-owned parking ramps. Customer’s Parking Ramp is located at
__________________________________. RampAds shall also undertake and administer all
accounting, sales and billing required in the sale and installation of the advertising.
1.2 – reserved –
1.3 Space Selection
Customer shall designate spaces in the Parking Ramp for the placement of advertising and shall
provide RampAds with a signed Parking Ramp map showing such approved locations.
RampAds may decline to use designated space(s) if the condition of the surface of such
designated space(s) would, in RampAds sole discretion, require too much preparation for proper
application of the advertising material.
2
1.4 Approval of Signs
RampAds shall provide Customer with proofs of advertising concepts in either a reduced-size,
hard-copy or an online PDF for all signs proposed for each Parking Ramp. Customer shall have
10 (10) business days to approve or reject the proposed Signs. If Customer does not approve or
reject the proposed Signs within such time, it shall be deemed denied (unapproved).
1.5 Rejection of Signs
Customer has the right to reject any Sign which interferes with the safe operation of the Parking
Ramp or with the placement or safe operation of Customer equipment. The determination as to
whether any Sign interferes with the safe operation of the Parking Ramp shall be within the sole
determination of the Customer. RampAds will rely on Customer’s determination of placement
and safety of approved Signs; if any installed Sign is subsequently found to interfere with the
safe operation of the Parking Ramp or with the placement or safe operation of Customer
equipment, RampAds shall be entitled to compensation for only reasonable direct costs
associated with the removal and reinstallation of the Sign.
1.6 Sale and Installation of Signs
a. RampAds is responsible for sale, installation and removal of all Signs. Any Sign
sales generated or discovered by Customer will be promptly referred to RampAds.
b. Installation of Signs may occur at any time. All RampAds activities relating to
the installation and removal of Signs shall be undertaken and conducted so as not
to unreasonably interfere with safe and orderly parking operations by the
Customer.
c. RampAds shall supply, at its own expense, all equipment required to install the
Signs. RampAds shall ensure that all Signs are designed and installed so as to fit
safely and securely onto the surface provided; RampAds shall promptly remove at
its expense any Signs installed in error.
1.7 Ramp User Information
Customer shall provide RampAds with any and all information concerning the demographics of
users of the Parking Ramp, provided that Customer is not under an obligation to keep such
information confidential. The information so provided may be used by RampAds, in its sole
discretion, to better tailor the sale of Signs to the users of a Parking Ramp. Except to the extent
used by RampAds to market advertising space, all such information shall be kept confidential
and shall not be used for any other purpose.
1.8 Parking Pass
Customer shall provide RampAds and its subcontractors a mechanism that allows for free
3
passage in and out of the parking ramps. Such passage will be used only to install, maintain and
remove the Parking Ramp Signs, and also to allow RampAds the ability to show and sell the
advertising space to its prospective clientele. Any use other than that noted above will result in
the termination of free passage in and out of the parking ramp, resulting in RampAds and its
subcontractors paying market parking rates.
1.9 Maintenance and Repair
All Signs installed by or on behalf of RampAds in the Parking Ramp shall at all times be and
remain the property of RampAds. RampAds agrees to maintain the Signs in good repair and to
promptly replace Sign due to poor workmanship or material failure. Any Sign damaged or
marred by graffiti will be replaced or repaired by RampAds at a reasonable cost to be borne by
advertiser.

Upon termination of this Agreement, RampAds shall, at its sole cost, remove all its advertising
and any material residue from the surface on which the advertising was placed, and paint, if
necessary, the surface immediately behind the advertising a color that is as close as practical to
the surrounding surface. Customer, at its sole cost, shall be responsible for further surface
treatment.
1.11 Public Service Signs
Customer and RampAds reserve the right to provide free advertising space to non-profit
organizations and units of government in those parking ramp locations which are not sold to
advertisers by RampAds. Such non-profit advertising (the “Public Service Signs”) shall be
selected and approved by RampAds, with guidance from Customer. RampAds shall provide
installation and maintained in accordance with this Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed in
writing, any production costs or expenses associated with the Public Service Signs shall be at the
sole expense of Customer, the non-profit and/or units of government placing such advertising.

RE: Cashman tuk-tuk license
BACKGROUND
Jim Cashman is proposing tuk-tuk service in downtown Stillwater. Essentially a tuk-tuk is a motorized
three-wheeler. (See attached photos.) The State of Minnesota licenses them as motorcycles.
The drivers would offer rides and mini-tours all over downtown for free. Mr. Cashman’s plan is to place
two 5 foot wide by 13 foot long battery operated vehicles into service between April and October.
Revenue to support the drivers and vehicle costs would be generated through rider donations and
advertising placed on the vehicles.
One reserved parking stall is requested for each of the two vehicles. As with the Stillwater Trolley and
the BierCycle, a license would be necessary from the City Council to reserve public parking spaces for
private use.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
Mr. Cashman is requesting the necessary license to reserve two parking spaces for his tuk-tuk service.
His two preferred spaces are designated as #1 and #2 on the attached exhibits.
COMMENTS
• Though Mr. Cashman would prefer the spaces designated as #1 and #2 on the attached exhibits,
he has shown two others that would also be acceptable, should the City Council prefer them.
• Each of the four potential spaces has advantages and disadvantages. Staff believes that spaces #2,
#3 and #4 could be acceptable. But, #1 is not acceptable for a number of reasons. Foremost is
that parking is not allowed anywhere on Sam Bloomer Way. But, also the Police Department
routinely uses that spot for monitoring Downtown safety. And, this is the service entrance to the
amphitheater stage.
• The Parking Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council deny the request to
reserve on-street parking spaces for this use. While they recognize that the Stillwater Trolley and
the BierCycle both have reserved on-street parking, they feel that public parking spaces
Cashman tuk-tuk
Page 2
downtown are a very limited resource. And, that the occupancy rate for public on-street and lot
spaces is so high right now, that it is not good policy to reserve any more spaces for private use.
• In addition to using public streets, Mr. Cashman has asked to be allowed to run the tuk-tuks on
the Riverwalk and the Downtown Trail. As a street-legal vehicle, the use of public streets is
allowed. But, the City does not allow motorized vehicles (with the exception of Segways) on
pedestrian/bicycle trails or the Riverwalk. And, public safety staff do not recommend granting an
exception for the tuk-tuks.
• Cost per space
o On-street spaces - For two on-street spaces the current cost of reserving from April
through October would be $3,120.1 However, to be consistent with the BierCycle and
Trolley licenses, the City would likely reduce that cost by 50% for a total of $1,560. This
number would be reduced on a pro-rated basis to correspond to the date each of the two
vehicles is actually put into service.
o Lot 6 space – The one space in Lot 7 would be $459.2 This number would be reduced on
a pro-rated basis to correspond to the date each of the two vehicles is actually put into
service.
NECESSARY ACTION
The City Council should decide whether it supports the request to reserve two on-street parking spaces for
the tuk-tuks. If so, staff will bring a license back to the next Council meeting for formal approval.

Attachments: Parking spaces location maps
Letter from Cashman
1 153 high season days x $9 per day x 2 spaces = $2,754. Plus 61 off season days x $3 per day x 2 spaces = $366. For a total of
$3,120.
2 86 high season weekend days x $3 per day = $258. Plus 67 high season weekdays x $1.50 = $100.50. Plus 67 off-season days
x $1.50 = $100.50. For a total of $459. To date the City has never applied the 50% discount to spaces in a parking lot.

RE: Pedicab License request for eTuk Stillwater
Stillwater City Council and Planners
Dear Stillwater City Council and Planners,
Marilyn and I fell in love with this awesome city and valley 35 years ago on our first visit, and why we’re
still here. We are all so fortunate to be part of this area’s natural beauty, history, coolness, and charm.
It’s easy to understand why it is such a desired destination for people, whether for business, to retire,
start a family, or just visit for a great time.
Below are some pictures that Michael Fox, Director of Sales and Marketing from eTuk Companies
(www.etukusa.com) sent me. On May 18, 2015 eTuk USA announced the first street legal, electric tuk
tuks in the United States, and now has them in 23 states. They are manufactured and assembled in
Denver, CO and meet or exceed all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) set forth
by the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Each eTuk has a 17 Character VIN allowing it to be
registered and plated at the state level.
Tuk tuks are a widely used form of transportation around the world. Until recently a tuk tuk could not be
found in the United States, let alone an electric one. These unique, three wheeled, high quality and
versatile zero‐emission vehicles are 100% electric and street legal; making them very effective, eco‐
friendly, super cool, and a ton of fun. They are great for city tours, passenger shuttles, courier service,
and many other applications.
Our plan is to start with one or two of these asap and operate yearly from April through October with
energetic and charismatic drivers and offering short FREE mini rides/tours (with a donation to help with
operating expenses and local charities) using roads downtown, especially along the river, and hopefully
the riverwalk when it’s not under water. We will also provide FREE downtown courier service and
passenger shuttle (maybe citywide, depending on how they perform with the hills) to and from homes,
apartments, businesses, hotels, marinas, restaurants, parking spots, bars, boats, churches, event
centers, etc.
eTuks define a good time. They have a captivating appeal that instantly turn heads in wonderment and
produce a desire to want to hop on (riders/donors), and/or participate (advertisers/sponsors).
Most riders will likely experience exuberance and a heightened sense of well‐being that can turn a bad
day into a good day, maybe even a great day. They seem to naturally enhance and uplift your love of life
and make everything seem better, at least for the moment.
Obviously, they will generate lots of excitement and publicity. Should we get satisfactory results from
the city I plan on a proposal for Mn Governor Dayton to sign a proclamation that a day this summer be
“eTuk Stillwater Day” and “Ride an eTuk for Good ” with the first electric tuktuk shuttle service in the
State, or maybe 2016 “Year of the eTuk ”…
It is crucial to get a couple of prime outdoor reserved parking spots to maximize visibility, hopefully
with daytime charging ability, and indoor overnight parking spots, also with charging ability (public
parking ramp next to Lowell Inn would be ideal).
A few highlights for the “eTuk Stillwater Give Back Mission”
‐ “Talk of the Town” very quickly.
‐ An even more fun and vibrant city for all to enjoy.
‐ Lots of publicity with a tremendous amount of goodwill and value for the advertisers.
‐ The probability of tens of thousands of dollars going back into the community over time to
help with other dynamic initiatives, thanks to the business model based on donations and the
riders /advertisers/sponsors who help make it happen.
‐ The creation of a fun and meaningful activity and an enhanced sense of empowerment and
purpose to help others for the betterment of community and self.
‐ A great feeling of being part of something cool and good.
‐ The creation of thousands of smiles and positive vibes on a weekly basis resulting in priceless
memories that can last a lifetime.
‐ . . . ???
In summary, we are committed to offering a FUN, safe, eco‐friendly, inexpensive, respectful,
meaningful, and memorable riding experience, and a reliable, professional courier service while
collecting gifts from the heart to help sustain this endeavor, as together we share the benefits and help
meet the needs of the community.
We believe that the overall result will have an immediate and long term, significant positive impact on
our residents, businesses, and tourists, helping Stillwater continue to be one of the best and most fun
places to live and visit in the Midwest.
Thank you for your time and consideration, we look forward to collaborating with you and other
community leaders to boost the magical allure of Stillwater to a new level.
Sincerely,
James/Marilyn Cashman

RE: JX Event Venue – Reserved Parking
BACKGROUND
Judd Sather is well into the remodeling project for the JX Event Center, which is located in the historic
shoe factory building on 2nd Street and Commercial Avenue. As Sather works through final operational
details, he is hoping to create four event drop-off spaces on 2nd Street and four event parking spaces on
Commercial Avenue. The requested drop-off spaces are at the front entrance to the Event Center. The
requested event parking would be for catering and other service needs and are located near the service
entrances on Commercial Avenue.
In addition, the delivery dock that projected into the Commercial Avenue right-of-way has been removed
as part of the Event Center renovation. This was necessary in order for the City to be able to complete the
Commercial Avenue pedestrian improvements planned in the current Comprehensive Plan. Though the
timing for the improvements is unknown, eventually the curb line on the south side of Commercial
Avenue would be straightened out (it currently does a jog around the loading dock and loading space) and
the sidewalk on both sides of the street would be upgraded and made more welcoming to pedestrians.
Mr. Sather has removed the loading dock at his cost. In return, he asks the City to consider allowing the
event parking and 15 minute parking.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
Mr. Sather has made four specific requests (see Exhibit D):
1) Designate the two southerly parking spaces on 2nd Street in front of the JX Event Center for 15
minute parking on Saturday and Sunday.
a. These spaces are currently for three hour parking from 8 am to 6 pm daily.
2) Designate the two northerly parking spaces on 2nd Street in front of the JX Event Center for 15
minute parking daily.
a. These spaces are currently for three hour parking from 8 am to 6 pm daily.
3) Designate the four parking spaces adjacent to the north side of the building for JX Event Center
use only (24x7x365).
a. They are currently for three hour parking from 8 am to 6 pm daily.
Sather Event Venue
Page 2
4) Allow the current curb line on the north side of the JX Event Center to stay as it.
a. As seen in the attached photo and graphics, the sidewalk on the south side of Commercial
Avenue was replaced by a loading dock and curb cut to allow vehicles to back into the
dock area.
b. Per the conceptual rendering included in the Comprehensive Plan, the City eventually
needs to realign the curb here to create sidewalk and other pedestrian amenities. In the
meantime, Mr. Sather would like to leave the curb line as it is so caterers and other
service providers can back in and unload.
COMMENTS
In order for a private business owner (in this case JX Event Center) to reserve exclusive use of publicly
owned property (e.g. the on-street parking spaces), an annual license would have to be approved by the
City Council. This was done, for example, with Stillwater Trolley and the BierCycle.
As with the trolley and pedal pub requests, the Parking Commission and City Council should consider the
specific spaces to determine whether it would be good public policy to reserve them for use of a single
private business. How many other property owners and customers rely on the proposed spaces? Are
there good parking alternatives in the immediate area for people who rely on the spaces?
If the Parking Commission and Council find that it is reasonable to reserve the spaces, then according to
the current fee schedule there would be an annual license fee equal to $3/day/space during the off-season
and $9/day/space during the high-season1.
Rather than approve the request to leave the curb line as it is, Public Works Director Sanders recommends
a curb line solution that would both create a continuous sidewalk for pedestrians as well as allow vehicles
to back into the former loading dock area. With this solution, the curb would be rebuilt in a straight line
so that the sidewalk would function as a through sidewalk. But, a curb cut would be allowed that is wide
enough to accommodate a vehicle backing up to the door where the loading dock used to be. This
represents a compromise, since staff would prefer a standard sidewalk without a curb cut.
RECOMMENDATION
The Parking Commission recommended:
1. Approval of the two northerly spaces on 2nd Street in front of the event center to be signed for
loading and unloading. These would be available to anyone, not restricted to event center use.
2. Denial of the request to convert the two southerly spaces on 2nd Street to short term parking.
3. Denial of the request to convert the four spaces on Commercial Avenue to event parking.
Staff recommends realigning the curb on Commercial Avenue so that the loading dock jog is removed.
However, to accommodate backing into the former loading dock area, a curb cut could be allowed. The
design of the curb cut and sidewalk in this area would have to be approved by the City Engineer.
1 153 high-season days at $9 per day for each of the 4 spaces = $5,508. 212 off-season days at $3 per day for each
of the 4 spaces = $2,544. The total would be $8,052 per year for the four spaces on Commercial Avenue.

NECESSARY ACTION
The City Council should consider the four requests and decide whether to approve them. If the Council
views favorably the request for reserving on-street spaces exclusively for the JX Event Center, staff will
develop a license for Council’s approval at the next Council meeting.

Update Browns Creek Parking Lot
INTRODUCTION
As part of the City's Capital Outlay Projects in 2016, it is planned to construct a paved parking lot in
Browns Creek Park, located on the west side of Neal Avenue north of the Brown Creek Trail. The
proposed parking lot would be designed for 25 vehicles, to fit within the existing gravel area, and
60' X 117' in area. Staff has been approached by the Browns Creek Watershed District (BCWD),
who would like to construct water quality project on the site of the city's parking lot project. This
would include a rock crib basin that would decrease the temperature of storm water runoff, structures
that capture sediment before it enters into Browns Creek, and a rain garden.
In their design of the rock crib, BCWD has proposed a location for the rock crib that would require a
change in the configuration of the original parking lot design. This in increases the size of the lot to
42' X 225' and would increase the cost of parking lot to the City. Staff proposed and BCWD has
agreed to pick up the any additional cost of the change in configuration of the parking lot in order to
meet the new location of the rock crib. It also agreed that it would make more sense to have both
projects designed and constructed by one agency. Since BCWD has engineers working on the rock
crib and their portion of the parking lot, BCWD has agreed to engineer and construct the city portion
parking lot as well. This would help out the engineering department and save time with an
anticipated busy summer construction season.
Since it is proposed that the two agencies work together on the project, BCWD has prepared draft
cooperative agreement for the project. The agreement would address issues such as BCWD right to
construct and maintain the rock crib on City Property, cost participation. The agreement is still is
being reviewed by staff and would be brought back to council at the next meeting for approval.
ACTION REQUIRED
It is recommended that Council consider and approve the project, and direct staff to work with
BCWD on the project and bring the Cooperative Agreement to council at a later meeting.

City Council
DATE: April 25, 2016
TO: Mayor & Council Members
SUBJECT: Community Development Department
Status of 2016-17 Project Work Plan
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
In November 2015 the Council reviewed the two-year work plan for the Community
Development Department. We are now a quarter of a year into the plan and are
making progress in many areas. Though, there are several high profile projects that are
either falling behind schedule or have been postponed.
This report is written to keep the Council appraised of the status of the work plan.
STATUS OF PROJECTS
Completed Projects
Several projects have been completed already this year. They are highlighted in green
in the status column of the attached work plan. Some of them are:
1. Develop a Historic Preservation Commission recognition program for owners
of older properties;
2. Review the Metropolitan Council’s 2015 System Statement for the City, and
work with City Council and Met Council to come to agreement;
3. Study formation of a Trail Plan Advisory Committee (Council decision not to
create one);
4. Explore front yard parking ordinance (Council decision not to adopt
ordinance).
Work plan update
Page 2 of 3
On schedule projects
Currently the community development department is involved in 21 projects. These
are all identified in the attached work plan. A sampling of them includes:
1. Develop HPC training materials that will be used state-wide;
2. Update the Downtown Plan;
3. Create Palmer property management plan;
4. Acquire Aiple property, prepare concept development plan and management
plan;
5. Manage police station and city hall remodel.
Delayed or postponed projects
The department is falling behind on some of the long range planning projects. This
includes for example that:
1. The sign ordinance amendment has been postponed;
2. The lodging study to address VRBOs is behind schedule;
3. The Bergstein Buildings committee and operations plan has been postponed;
4. The Aiple property concept park plan, conservation easement, management
plan and acquisition is considerably behind schedule;
5. Trail plan approval by Met Council is behind schedule.
The attached work plan highlights in yellow the high profile projects and the critical
projects that are either behind schedule or have been postponed.
COMMENTS
The first quarter of this year has generated an atypical amount of “routine” planning
work. This includes private development proposals, variance and special permit
applications, economic development work, enforcement issues, public inquiries, etc. In
addition, the department secretary accepted a position with the St Croix County
Planning Department and the position is in the process of being filled. Consequently,
administrative support is being done by planners.
The result of the unexpected routine work load increase, together with the loss of the
planning secretary, is that some projects have been put on hold or are progressing more
slowly than hoped.

ALTERNATIVES
There are at least two approaches to reconciling the project work plan with staff
resources.
1) Reschedule to 2017 the projects in 2016 that have been postponed or have fallen
behind.
a. Perhaps in 2017 the routine planning workload will be at a more typical
volume, or
b. Perhaps staffing level will change by adding a Zoning Administrator.
2) Explore retaining a planning consultant to help with the project work load.
a. If the Council is interested in this alternative, staff will contact planning
consultants for cost estimates.
b. Funding for the consultant costs can come from revenues budgeted for
economic development.
i. The consultant could work on economic development related
projects such as the VRBO study/ordinance, the sign ordinance
work, the Bergstein Building operation plan, and old armory re-
purposing.
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff requests direction from the Council. If the Council is in support of hiring a
planning consultant to work some of the projects, then staff would solicit bids for
hourly rates. We would bring that information back to the Council at the next meeting
for further discussion.

TO: Mayor & Council Members
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: April 26, 2016
RE: Management Plan for former Palmer Property
BACKGROUND
In December of 2015 the City purchased the former Palmer property remnant on the
corner of Manning Avenue and Dellwood Road. It was purchased from Washington
County, which used legacy funds to reduce the City’s purchase price. As part of the
purchase contract with the County, the City agreed to develop a management plan for
the protected areas of the site.
The City asked the Brown’s Creek Watershed District board of directors if they would
help develop the plan. They approved the request and committed $7,200 to hire EOR
for the job. EOR and Watershed District staff met a number of times with the Public
Works Director and myself to draft the plan. It is now ready for City Council to
consider.
COMMENTS
As mentioned in the draft management plan, it “presents a site analysis, management
recommendations, and implementation guidelines for control of invasive species and
habitat restoration/enhancement...” The goal is to improve the vegetation on the
portions of the land outside of the future active park area. On the attached property
map, the area that the management plan applies to is marked as “averaged wetland
buffer area” (which also includes delineated wetlands).
Public Works and Community Development staff find the plan’s recommendations,
guidelines, and monitoring to be reasonable.

REQUEST
Public Works and Community Development staff recommend approval of plan and ask
the City Council to consider adopting it. If it is found acceptable, then Council could
adopt the attached Resolution of approval.

Introduction
This management plan presents a site analysis, management recommendations, and implementation
guideline for control of invasive species and habitat restoration/enhancement for the former Palmer
Property located at the southeast quadrant of the intersection of County Road 15 and State Highway 96.
This site is adjacent to Brown’s Creek and all delineated wetlands and associated upland areas serving as
buffers to the wetlands. This management plan is intended to be used as an adaptive management plan
with the objective of controlling invasive species, restoring a diverse assemblage of native species and
enhancing the overall ecological value of the property. It is expected that full restoration of the site will
require several years of management and ongoing monitoring. A combination of management
treatments and methods will be required and will likely require adaptation over the course of the
restoration based on current conditions, levels of infestation, as well as funding availability. This plan
provides recommendations for initial control efforts in 2016 and recommendations for future
management based on the effectiveness monitoring following initial control efforts.
Background information was gathered from the City of Stillwater and a desktop analysis including review
of aerial photos, topography, stormwater infrastructure, wetland boundaries, and soils was completed
prior to the initial site inspection conducted on February 8th, 2016. The former Palmer Property consists
of a 12.9 acre parcel. Preliminary plans for the developable portion of the parcel include construction of
a parking lot, a lacrosse field, volleyball courts, and trail improvements. The parcel is encumbered by a
conservation easement to protect existing wetlands and Brown’s Creek. This plan addresses the portion
of the property that lies within the delineated wetland and the averaged wetland buffer (approximately
9.8 protected acres; Figure 1).
Former Palmer Property Page 3
Wetland Buffer Management Plan April 26, 2016
All wetlands on the property are classified as “Preserve” according to the Brown’s Creek Watershed
District (BCWD). Preserve wetlands meet one or more of the following rating levels pursuant to the
Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MnRAM) 3.0 for a “Preserve” wetland (Table 1).
Table 1. Brown’s Creek Watershed District “Preserve” Wetlands Requirements
Function or Value Rating
Vegetative Diversity Exceptional
Wildlife Habitat Exceptional
Fish Habitat Exceptional
Aesthetics/education/recreation/cultural Exceptional
AND Wildlife Habitat High
Stormwater Sensitivity Exceptional
AND Vegetative Diversity Medium or greater
Vegetative Diversity High
AND Maintenance of hydrologic regime High or greater
BCWD Wetland Buffer Requirements
BCWD has established the following wetland buffer requirements for preserve wetland types:
a. BCWD Wetland Buffer Requirements - Preserve” wetland type = 100 feet
b. The District may require a planting or landscaping plan to establish adequate native vegetative
cover for area that
i. Has vegetation composed more than 30 percent of undesirable plant species (including,
but not limited to reed canary grass, common buckthorn, purple loosestrife, leafy
spurge, bull thistle, and other noxious weeds); or
ii. Consists more than 10 percent of bare or disturbed soil or turf grass.
c. Other wetland buffer rules
i. Creating impervious cover.
ii. Excavating fill or placing fill or debris, except for temporary placement of fill or debris
pursuant to duly-permitted work in the associated watercourse, in compliance with all
conditions of the permit, and in compliance with section 4.6.
iii. Altering vegetation, except for (i) vegetative enhancements, as approved in writing by
staff; and (ii) the removal of invasive exotic species or of trees for disease control or
revegetation. A tree larger than six inches in diameter at a point two feet above the
ground may be removed only on written authorization from District staff on a
determination that the function of the buffer will not be diminished.
iv. Applying phosphorus-containing fertilizers, except on written authorization from District
staff on a determination that phosphorus application is appropriate and will not injure

Site Description
Existing Vegetation
The 9.8 acre undevelopable area is currently comprised of scattered upland woodlands and an upland to
wetland transitional zone that buffers the high quality wetlands adjacent to Brown’s Creek. The
woodlands contain quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), red pine (Pinus resinosa), white pine (Pinus
strobus), common buckthorn (Rhamnus carthica), tartarian honey suckle (Lonicera tartarica) and
scattered Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Most buckthorn shrubs were heavily fruited during the site visit
and were distributed in isolated clumps throughout the parcel. The wetland transitional zone appeared
to be dominated by reed canary grass, (Phalaris arundinacea). Other species observed within the
wetland during the site visit included speckled alder (Alnus incana), steeplebush (Spiraea tomentosa),
sensitive fern (Onoclea sensiblis), narrow leaf cattail (Typha angustifolia), prickly wild rose (Rosa
acicularis), Sedges (Carex sp) and fringed brome (Bromus ciliatus).
Topography and Soils
The topography of the former Palmer Property consists of a gradually sloping floodplain that borders
Brown’s Creek on the northeastern quarter of the property (Figure 2). The floodplain transitions quickly
to an upland plateau on the properties’ northwestern corner, this upland plateau appears to have been
created by fill material placed along the previous wetland boundary. The southern portion of the
property contains the steepest slopes including an isolated cone shaped land feature that overlooks a
small tributary to Brown’s Creek.
Two thirds of the property is comprised of Antigo 49C soil series on slopes from 6 to 12%. This soil series
is classified as well drained and is the dominant soil series on most upland portions of the property
despite being classified as partially hydric. Mahtomedi loamy sandy soils are the dominant soil series on
the steeply sloped feature along the southern portion of the property boundary. Auburndale soil series
border both sides of Brown’s Creek; this is a hydric soil series. Markey Muck soils (also hydric) are found
in the valley that borders the tributary that flows from west to east along the southern portion of the
property (Figure 3).

Hydrology and Watershed
The property is located in the Brown’s Creek Watershed District. The National Wetland Inventory
recognizes one wetland on the property. The NWI wetland is classified as an emergent, lotic, stream
floodplain, and flow through wetland (Figure 4). Wetland signatures on the parcel do not appear to have
changed over the past 60 years based on a review of aerial imagery from 1957 (Figure 5).
Site Survey
The location of mature non-native species within the undevelopable area was collected using a
submeter differential Global Positioning System (GPS) during the February 8th, 2016 site visit. Data
collected was then transferred to ArcMap v. 10.3 Geographic Information System (GIS) for evaluation
and mapping. A vegetation map depicting the location of mature, non-native species observed during
the site visit is provided in Figure 6. The site inspection confirmed a scattered, clumped distribution of
mature, fruiting buckthorn (Rhamnus carthica) along with several other invasive herbs and shrubs
including tartarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tartarica), spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe), and tansy
(Tanacetum vulgare). Deteriorated metal fencing and fence posts on the property create barriers to
wildlife movement and detract from the aesthetics of the property. Fence post location points were
collected using a submeter differential Global Positioning System (GPS) and transferred to ArcMap v.
10.3 Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate the total amount of fencing present on the
property and the condition of the fencing (Figure 7).

2016 Implementation & Monitoring
Invasive Woody Species Removal
All fruiting buckthorn and mature tartarian honeysuckle will be removed from the 9.8 acre
undevelopable area in 2016. An ecologist will oversee all removal activities to ensure proper care is
taken to minimize seed dispersal. The City of Stillwater has previously committed staff and budget to
clearing buckthorn on the property.
Native Species Protection
All native species in the shrub layer will be flagged by an ecologist prior to any management activities.
Protecting naturally recruiting native species over the course of the restoration will hasten succession
and reduce costs associated with purchasing and planting.
Mechanical Removal
Initial removal efforts will be targeted to mature, fruiting individuals to reduce seed dispersal. This will
be achieved by placing mature fruiting buckthorn shrubs on tarps for transport to designated area for
chipping. Stumps will be cut (to a height not to exceed 4”) and treated with herbicide to prevent re-
sprouting.
Herbicides
Cut stumps will be treated immediately with herbicide using a paint brush or wick applicator. Broadcast
spraying is not recommended due to potential impacts to native species. It is recommended to add dye
to the herbicide to keep track of stumps that have been treated. Table 3 provides a list of recommended
herbicides.

Seedling control
Buckthorn is a prolific seeder, and areas that have been recently cleared quickly regenerate by seed.
Following the removal of mature, fruiting species, seedling control efforts will be needed. Removal of
small seedlings will occur first as these are the easiest to control. For small seedlings/ saplings that are
less than 3/8 inch in diameter, hand-pulling or mechanical pulling will be used to prevent plants from re-
sprouting. For buckthorn that is greater than 3/8 inches, cutting and stump treating with a wick
Former Palmer Property Page 14
Wetland Buffer Management Plan April 26, 2016
applicator will be the recommended approach. Hand pulling should be conducted when the soil is
moist, such as after a snowmelt or rain event. This method will provide the best results but will increase
disturbance. If soil is significantly disturbed during hand pulling, it will be tamped back in place and
seeded to prevent erosion. Spot-treating buckthorn seedlings and stems smaller than 3/8”with an
herbicide will only be done if native herbaceous species are dormant or not present.
Slash
Stems and branches without fruiting berries will be chipped and spread over the upland portions of the
site taking care to not smother any native plant species (newly planted or existing). Logs will be hauled
away or placed flat on the ground to serve as erosion control, especially on the steep slopes. Logs will be
placed horizontally on the slope (i.e. parallel to the contours). Branches with berries will be placed onto
tarps or plastic and moved to a single location on site for chipping. Additionally, selected corridors for
removal will be established to minimize seed dispersal.
Fence/Fence Post Removal
All existing metal fencing will be stacked at an accessible location where it will be hauled offsite by City
of Stillwater. All fence posts and footings will be removed during the winter of 2016-17 with the use of
small mechanical equipment such as a skid steer. The majority of the work will be completed by the City
of Stillwater with Conservation Crew of Minnesota and Iowa providing temporary labor focused on
stacking metal fencing at a predetermined accessible location.
Herbaceous Invasive Species Control
Species such as tansy, spotted knapweed, and other non-native herbaceous species (other than reed
canary grass) identified during future site visits will be hand pulled immediately following woody species
control efforts to prevent further spread. It is expected that more herbaceous invasive species will be
identified in spring, when the snowmelt occurs. Other than reed canary grass, non-native herbaceous
species infestations appear to be smaller; hand-pulling prior to seed set will be the most effective means
of controlling these smaller infestations. Reed canary grass control is not proposed at this time. If reed
canary grass management is needed in the future, options for management may include herbicide
treatments, mowing of fruiting seed heads and controlled burns.
If larger infestations of invasive herbaceous species are identified where hand-pulling is not feasible,
these areas will be spot treated with an approved herbicide by spraying the rosette stage prior to
bolting. Spot treating will be accomplished by spot-spraying with a backpack or handheld sprayer.
Herbicide treatments will be performed in late summer to reduce impacts to native plants and animals.
All herbicides will be used according to manufacturer labels. All uprooted vegetation, especially with
seed heads, will be removed from the site by placing the plants into bags or onto tarps. One corridor
will be identified for accessing the site to minimize seed dispersal.
Targeted Planting and Over seeding
A site inspection following shrub removal activities will be made to confirm that all mature, non-native
woody species have been removed. All areas disturbed during invasive shrub and fence post removal
Former Palmer Property Page 15
Wetland Buffer Management Plan April 26, 2016
will be seeded by hand with the following native seed mixes:
Wetland – State Mix 34-261 @ 31.5lbs/per acre
Wetland/Upland Transition – State Mix 33-262 @ 44lbs/per acre
Post-Restoration Monitoring
The dominance of reed canary grass in addition to the presence of buckthorn, tartarian honeysuckle,
spotted knapweed, and tansy suggest that the wetland buffer does not meet the BCWD rule set forth for
preserve wetlands stating that the wetland buffer should consist of no more than 30 percent of
undesirable plant species. As site restoration activities progress, adaptive management strategies will
be used to control invasive species within the undevelopable area.
Schedule of Activities
The BCWD has offered to initiate the first steps of this management plan, which are outlined in Table 4,
and has secured the Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa (CCM&I) labor force to do so. It is
anticipated that the allotted time of CCM&I should be sufficient to complete these initial tasks, but it is
understood that the City is responsible for all unfinished tasks.

Extended Implementation & Monitoring
In addition to the detailed activities identified for 2016, the following activities are recommended to
optimize the ecological value of the buffer, wetland and creek.
Invasive Woody Species Removal
No mature buckthorn or tartarian honeysuckle will remain on the site following the first year of
management. Continued monitoring and management of seedlings will be necessary to ensure these
invasive species do not recolonize the site.
Herbaceous Invasive Species Control
Continued monitoring and management of the invasive herbaceous species will be necessary to
maintain the ecological integrity of the site. Depending on site conditions, an adaptive management
strategy will be needed. Management tools may include spot herbicide treatments, hand pulling, seed
head removal and controlled burns.
Targeted Over seeding
Reestablishing a robust vegetative community on the site will improve resiliency and enhance ecological
function. To minimize the risk of recolonization of invasive species, all denuded areas caused by site
management activities should be seeded with a suitable native seed mix. The following seeding guide
could be used across the buffer:
Wetland – State Mix 34-261 @ 31.5lbs/per acre
Wetland/Upland Transition – State Mix 33-262 @ 44lbs/per acre
Stream Corridor Enhancements
Brown’s Creek runs through the project site. Management recommendations include enhancing
thermal protection and increasing in-stream habitat. This will be accomplished by selective planting of
native wetland shrubs along the creek corridor and conceivably installing large woody debris1 to this
reach of Brown’s Creek that is essentially void of this beneficial habitat structure. Funding for these
projects is not currently available. These activities will be implemented as funding permits and the City
is not required to complete these enhancements.
On-going Monitoring
The dominance of reed canary grass in addition to the presence of buckthorn, tartarian honeysuckle,
spotted knapweed, and tansy suggest that continued monitoring and adaptive management will be
necessary to maintain ecological function and to meet the BCWD wetland buffer rule.
1 Large woody debris (LWD) is a term applied to pieces of dead wood larger than 0.1 m in diameter and 1.0 m
length. The term can be used to refer to entire trees, roots, trunks, logs, branches and other large pieces of wood that
can accumulate within river systems. They provide a diversity of habitat patches which can support a wide range of
organisms at different stages of their life cycle. LWD accumulations can have an important role in regulating water
quality and in sustaining refuge habitats to protect biota during pollution episodes and high flows. In addition, LWD
accumulations provide important food sources for aquatic biot a.

Schedule & Level of Effort
All City activities/responsibilities for a 10-year period are summarized in Table 5. Labor hours,
equipment and material cost have been estimated for each activity. It is assumed that the City will
evaluate the wetland buffer after this period and update the Management Plan accordingly at that time.
