The meeting was called to order by Mayor Kimble, Present: Absent: Council members Bealka, Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Zoller and Mayor Kimble None Also present: City Administrator Hansen City Attorney Magnuson Public Works Director Eckles Police Chief Dauffenbach Community Development Director Russell City Clerk Ward Press: Julie Kink, Courier OTHER BUSINESS Discussion on sale of Citv propertv for eiaht-plex housina - Mike O'Brien Mr. Mike O'Brien, Dr. Robert Butler from HIS and Mr. Richard Gager from Gager Engineering presented conceptual drawings for an eight-plex housing unit for the public works property behind City Hall that would house women coming out of a chemical treatment program and their children. Dr. Butler explained the funding and program design, He stated in order to receive funding a site must be acquired by December. They asked if the Council would be willing to enter into negotiations for the sale of that property. Councilmember Rheinberger asked what the value would be of the project. Mr. O'Brien stated approximately $1.4M. Council member Bealka asked Public Works Director Eckles if there is a value determined for the public works property, Mr. Eckles stated that there has not been any serious discussion among staff or Council to determine the possible use of the public works property so no appraisal or study has been done on the property. Councilmember Rheinberger asked Dr. Butler if there has been any neighborhood interaction/reaction in the past on programs similar to this. Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 Dr. Butler stated that fortunately they have not had any problems with their sites with neighborhoods and that they have six different duplex sites. Council member Rheinberger asked how long would the people be living at this facility, Dr. Butler stated that HUD has defined this program as permanent housing so there is no time limit. However, the program is designed to get the residents employed and into better living conditions. The expectation is that residents would live there two-five years. Councilmember Milbrandt stated that Council would need to see what options were available for the property before we sell it. Council member Bealka asked how would this property be listed on the tax roll. Dr. Butler stated that he would hope it would be listed as tax-exempt. Mayor Kimble asked if there is an end date of the program. Dr. Butler stated that the commitment to HUD and MHFA is to provide supportive housing for this popUlation for 20 years. Councilmember Rheinberger stated he felt that this project should move forward because $1.4M is an improvement for the area, provides for redevelopment of the area and returns the property to the residential status that it previously had, Council member Zoller stated that there is a process that should be followed which is to have review by the staff, Parks Board and Planning Commission before any decision is made on the property. Councilmember Bealka stated that the City should determine the value of the property and obtain a survey of the property, Councilmember Milbrandt stated he is not ready to make a commitment between now and December to sell that property to any developer. He stated that even though this is a worthwhile program, if Council decides to sell city property, he would be more open to offer it to all developers to see what the best return of the investment will be. The decision to sell or develop the property has not been determined Mayor Kimble provided a history of the publiC works property, the special use permit given in the 1960s for the public works operation and sale of this property. He stated that the property is not zoned for this commercial use and caused a problem with the residential homes and that came into play in the decision to look elsewhere for a new public works facility, Motion by Council member Zoller, seconded by Council member Rheinberger directing this issue to staff, Parks Board and Planning Commission for their review and to return to Council for their review at the October 1, 2002 meeting, All in favor. Page 2 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting STAFF REPORTS September 3, 2002 Community Development Director Russell reviewed a request from the fire department for the placement of signs for Fire Prevention Week placed on some city properties. Motion by Council member Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger approving the placement of signs for Fire Prevention Week, All in favor, Council member Rheinberger stated he has received complaints about the removal of garage sale signs, Community Development Director Russell stated that only one sign per property is allowed by the sign ordinance and no signs are allowed on public right-of-way. Staff does remove the signs but it is not a top priority for enforcement, but if staff, police or public works see the signs they do remove them. Council member Bealka asked Public Works Director Eckles for an update on the lighting project. Public Works Director Eckles stated that Excel Energy is presently installing the bases for the poles and in two to three weeks the mast arms will be installed on the poles, Councilmember Milbrandt asked about the funding for the seeding item on the Consent Agenda and if the contractor is the same as last year's contractor. Mr. Eckles stated that the Parks Board authorized the funding for Lowell Park out of the Lowell Park improvement fund and that funding for the other two parks will be funded out of the parks improvement fund. He stated that it is a different contractor however the prices received are based on the City taking the risk if the seed does not take due to weather, etc. If the City wants the contractor to take the risk the price of seeding would be significantly higher. Mr. Eckles stated that the sites are graded and it is basically to get some good turf in the parks. City Attorney Magnuson reviewed his memo on the negotiation for the railroad property purchase. He stated that the City and Burlington Northern agreed to share the costs of a joint appraisal on the remaining downtown railroad real estate. He stated that each party would have 60 days from the date of the delivery of the appraisal to object to the price and stated that if an objection to the price is not done within 60 days the price is binding for both parties. He recommended that Council object to the appraised amount and that notice be sent to the railroad which would allow for continued negotiation and allow the City to obtain their own appraisal. Mr. Magnuson stated that some recent sales in downtown have skewed the costs of this property. He stated that there are some other options to negotiate the price. Motion by Council member Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Milbrandt directing City Attorney Magnuson to send notice to the railroad objecting to the appraisal.

Councilmember Milbrandt stated that the Sunrise Rotary proposal comes at a good time because the Parks Board is in the process of doing inventory and is at the beginning of a comprehensive plan for the City parks and it is a welcomed call to aid. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger referring this issue to the Parks Board and Public Works Department to work with the Sunrise Rotary.

Page 5 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 City Administrator Hansen reviewed the recommendation by the Charter Commission approved at their meeting on Thursday, August 29, 2002 that the Council adopt an ordinance amending the City Charter to merge the Water Board with the City, but if Council does not adopt the ordinance they are requesting that the question be placed on the November ballot City Attorney Magnuson stated that the Council sets the form of the ballot but not whether or not the question goes on the ballots. City Administrator Hansen reviewed the study by Larson Allen that was hired to study the immediate and predictable cost savings or cost avoidance and identifiable general efficiencies if the Water Commission were to merge into the City. Mr. Hansen stated that the immediate cost savings would be $22,000, however that probable cost avoidance, which included additional staff at a cost of $95,800 and prospective cost avoidance that would include staff, equipment rental and reduced overtime in plowing at a cost of $55,150 for a total cost savings now and in the future of $172,950, He also stated that there would be some one-time costs involved in the merger for training ($1,000), radio signal control box ($20,000 or $75,000 for moving the water control panel to the Public Works facility) and legal and accounting fees (est $5,000), Councilmember Milbrandt asked if the Charter Commission unanimously approved the recommendation. Mr. Hansen stated that the Charter Commission approved the recommendation unanimously. Councilmember Bealka asked the Mayor for his recommendation. Mayor Kimble explained the process that Council has to follow on this issue, He stated that his personal feeling was there some cost savings and being responsible for taxpayer expenditures and getting the best that you can for the money it may seem prudent However, his personal feeling is that the question should go on the ballot because even though it may be a worthwhile decision, this would be a major cultural change for the residents of the community. He stated that the people come into City Hall to pay their sewer bill and go to the Water Department to pay their water bill. He stated that when the Gazette moved there were regular visitors to the Gazette building coming to pay their bill or get a copy of the paper not knowing that the Gazette had moved. It is that kind of cultural change that would occur. He stated that Charter Amendments that change the tradition of the community, such as the ward system, should be placed on the ballot Council member Rheinberger asked the Mayor if he is likely to vote against the ordinance so it will go on the ballot for the community to act on, Mayor Kimble stated that he is likely to do that Councilmember Bealka asked how the question would be presented. Page 6 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 Mayor Kimble stated that the Council sets the ballot and that the recommended question by the Charter Commission is Question 1 with the addition of "thereby dissolving the Board of Water Commissioners?" Council member Rheinberger stated that reluctantly he is in favor of the ordinance. He stated he serves on the Water Board. He also stated that the way he sees it is that there is a hemorrhaging loss of $172,000, that the City has probably lost $1.5M in opportunity costs over the years, that if it gets to the ballot it will be very confusing to the residents, it is a reluctant advancement of government that we close/merge departments in the name of efficiencies and technology improvements, Councilmember Milbrandt stated that he has been on the Council for almost two years and that this issue was brought up to be investigated at his first workshop session and here it is two years later with this study which shows a $150,000 savings. He stated he has received no negative input He has talked with Mr. McKnight and Mr. Eckles who are in favor of this merger and that it should work and the City should realize these savings, He stated that he hoped that the decision on this issue is not going to get lost in the political overtones of the season and that since some of the overtones already have questioned the people's leadership he felt that this is the type of decision that leaders have to make. He further stated that the Council has all the facts and have had a year and a half to study them. Mayor Kimble asked Council member Milbrandt if he didn't think that this would be a cultural change to the community, Councilmember Milbrandt stated there is no doubt that decisions the Council makes may have an affect on the community but did not believe it would be a huge cultural shock. Council member Zoller stated that the Charter Commission studied this issue and unanimously recommended the merger of the Water Board to the City. He also stated that the Council is looking at balancing the budget and here is $150,000 in front of the Council and that in his mind it would be irresponsible if Council does not vote for this ordinance. He stated that it would be irresponsible, as leaders of this community, to not make the City more efficient. Mayor Kimble asked Council member Zoller if this issue were going to be so confusing that the citizens would not be able to make this decision, Council member Zoller stated yes, Council member Rheinberger stated that he agreed with Councilmember Zoller in that it gets caught in the political rhetoric, To the Council it is clear because the Council has accountants and have taken the time to study the issue and most of the residents are only going to have a moment to answer a ballot question and not really understand the whole concept He stated that he is not saying that the citizens could not make a better decision, but that the Council is the better informed. He stated for wisdom sake it would be better for the Council to make the tough decision, He also stated that no decision is Page 7 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 perfect and agreed with the Mayor that there will be some culture change, but within six weeks everyone will have new habits, He stated that he is not so sure that the City will gain $172,000 in savings, but as historical government studies show you will probably save 2/3 which is $120,000, He also stated that the City has a deficit in the current budget that has to be closed and the Council has some reluctant responsibilities to do but the Council has a responsibility to bring government efficiencies, Councilmember Bealka agreed with Councilmember Rheinberger to a point and stated that he felt that Council was elected to govern and make decisions, but he felt the Council owed the public an opportunity to have their voice in the matter and yet again there is quite a bit of money that could be saved. Council member Zoller asked Council member Bealka how he would stand on the issue being that he is a member of the Charter Commission that passed this recommendation unanimously. Mayor Kimble stated that if Council passed the ordinance a public hearing would be held on September 17. He asked what good does a public hearing do on the 1th if the second reading fails and the question cannot be placed on the ballot in November. City Attorney Magnuson stated that if the ordinance is adopted unanimously it would be the first reading of the ordinance, and the public hearing is required by statute. The second reading would be on the 17th. City Clerk Ward stated that the County would like to have the ballot question by September 12, however the final date a ballot question can be placed on the ballot is September 17, 2002 at 5:00 p,m. Mayor Kimble asked if he votes negative tonight then the opportunity to place the question on the ballot is not lost for two years and if the ordinance can have a 4-1 vote tonight for the first reading and a 5-0 vote at the second reading after the public hearing. City Attorney Magnuson stated that both readings would have to have a 5-0 vote, Councilmember Milbrandt stated that the Council has had first readings and the second readings in the past and the second reading has been automatic. Mayor Kimble stated that in recent past ordinances that the ordinances were not Charter Amendments that require a public hearing. Councilmember Milbrandt stated that even if this is a Charter Amendment no ordinance receives a year and a half of study prior to its reading. Mayor Kimble explained that the process would be Council must adopt the ordinance with a 5-0 vote approving the first reading and then a public hearing would be set for September 17, 2002 and that the second reading would also have to be a 5-0 vote to adopt the ordinance, Page 8 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 Mayor Kimble asked wouldn't it be wiser to put the question on the ballot and let the citizens decide as it did in the ward system. Councilmember Rheinberger stated that it deals with the materiality of the issue. The changing of the whole election system citywide should have gone to the citizens and it did, However, the significance of this issue is not major to the ordinary citizen and that Council should take the leadership and decide. He also stated that when Council changed the charter for vice-mayor that did not go to the public it was done internally. He stated that this issue should move forward. Mayor Kimble asked if the Water Board builds a water tower if that goes against the City's debt limit. Assistant Finance Director Harrison stated that the last water tower that was built was funded by a revenue bond and that does not go against the City's debt and if the City built a water tower it would not go against the City's debt limit because a revenue bond would probably be issued for the water tower. Councilmember Milbrandt stated that it would go against the enterprise fund the City would have to create if the Water Board was merged with the City. Ms, Harrison stated that was correct. It would not be a capital outlay bond unless Council decides to use tax dollars to back the bond issue rather than a revenue bond of which revenues are used to back the bond, Councilmember Milbrandt stated that this issue has boiled down to an operational integration issue, He stated that it is getting more "bang for our buck" by merging the two departments to exercise savings and efficiencies. He also stated that he does not see the cultural impact and the feedback from the department heads from both departments have been positive. The financial impact is that there is $120,000 per year of savings identified by an independent consulting firm. Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 928, an ordinance amending the Charter of the City of Stillwater. All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Zoller and Mayor Kimble Nays: None Motion by Councilmember Rheinberger, seconded by Council member Milbrandt setting the public hearing for September 17, 2002 at 7:00 p.m, or as soon as possible thereafter. All in favor. NEW BUSINESS Request for continuinq TIF assistance for Simonets Community Development Director reviewed the request from Mr. James O'Brien to extend the TIF assistance for five more years, He stated that the site is within the Page 9 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 scattered site tax increment district but the improvement does not contribute to the district making this request different from most requests. Mr. Russell stated that in discussions with Mr. O'Brien it was suggested that in lieu of providing five years of additional assistance, that the cost of the Curve Crest Lighting project be paid by the City using TIF funds, He also stated that this assistance would also benefit not only the Simonets Furniture Store but also the other businesses involved in the Curve Crest Lighting project; Sutler's and Brines, Because lighting is an eligible TIF assistance item. Motion by Council member Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to adopt Resolution 2002-198, approving TIF assistance for Curve Crest Lighting assessments for Simonets, Brines and Sutlers Liquor Store, All in favor. Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Zoller and Mayor Kimble Nays: None Possible approval of convevance as a result of property line encroachment City Attorney Magnuson reviewed the conveyance request He stated that the City conveyance of property to the Christofferson's is necessary since the Christofferson's title is senior to the City's title and it is also registered property with the protection given by the Torrens Act The description of the property was in error and recommended that Council approve a resolution authorizing the conveyance. Motion by Council member Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger to adopt Resolution 2002-199, authorizing the conveyance of property. All in favor, Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Milbrandt, Rheinberger, Zoller and Mayor Kimble Nays: None Possible approval of aqreement with Washinqton County for a Street Liqht at CSAH 15 and 62nd Street Public Works Director Eckles reviewed the street light agreement with Washington County, Council member Zoller clarified that this is a street light being installed; not a traffic light Mayor Kimble asked when a stoplight would be installed in this area with left turn and right turn lanes. Mr. Eckles stated that a project is in progress to upgrade that intersection and as part of that project a bypass lane has been added and is now complete which means that southbound traffic on Manning can go on the right if there is a car turning left off of Manning. He also stated that the County is looking at the installation of a traffic light at County Road 12 and Manning and potentially either a stoplight at Boutwell or McKusick Road. Page 10 of 14 Stillwater City Council Meeting September 3, 2002 Motion by Councilmember Milbrandt, seconded by Councilmember Rheinberger to adopt Resolution 2002-200, approving the agreement with Washington County for a Street Light at CSAH 15 and 62nd Street.

He stated that an assessment hearing could wait until next year however the City would absorb the bonding costs, etc, City Attorney Magnuson stated that many cities hold an assessment hearing along with an improvement hearing so that assessment issues can be handled prior to the construction of the project He stated that it is not unusual to base assessments on an estimate of the project costs, He also stated that corrections to the assessment roll could be done until December. Councilmember Milbrandt stated that the bids for the projects came in less than the estimate so the assessments should be less than what was anticipated.
