Workshop on Joint Venture with Mahtomedi to Build Second Recreation Center. City Coordinator Kriesel reported he, Mayor Kimble, Councilmember ZolIer, and city staff have been meeting with representatives from Mahtomedi and the St. Croix Valley Hockey Association (SCVHA) to determine the feasibility of joining with Mahtomedi to construct a second sheet of ice. He presented a proposed ice time distribution worksheet developed to determine if adequate ice time would be available to all potential users if a second sheet of ice were added. Mahtomedi is happy with the numbers, but the SCVHA is concerned with availability oftirne in the future as the City needs expand. If the proposed ice time distribution summary is acceptable to Council, a proforma would be needed to determine if the construction of the second sheet would be feasible. The Committee that has been formed to study this issue is recommending Springsted, Inc., be commissioned to do the proforma. Mahtomedi will pay 1/3 or more of the cost. Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Bealka authorizing Springsted, Inc., to complete a proforma on the possible joint venture with Mahtomedi to construct a second sheet of ice at the St. Croix Valley Recreation Center, and requesting Mahtomedi to pay half the cost of the proforma.

Ed Cain, Legislative Associates - Update on Legislative Issues. Mr. Cain presented an update on 1999 Minnesota Legislative activities. Stillwater has now authorized two additional liquor licenses outside of the downtown central business district. The tax bill contained a provision authorizing the City to divide its area into urban service districts and rural service districts constituting separate taxing districts for the purpose of all municipal property taxes, including those levied for the payment of bonds and judgments and interest on them. This legislation became necessary when it was found the annexation agreement with Stillwater Township was not fully in accordance with special legislation involving payment oftaxes in the annexation area. He also updated Council on funding for stage two of the levee/flood control project and the surcharge process. The schedule for completion of stage two is the end of the summer in 2000. Stage three should begin in the spring of 2001. City Engineer Eckles reported the City will apply for assistance from the State of Minnesota in the form of a trout stream protection loan. The governor vetoed a portion of the funding, but approximately half of the $3.5 million included in the bill will be available. Browns Creek (' Watershed District sponsored the bill.

Project No. 9613. This is the day and time for the public hearing on Lily Lake Water Quality Improvement Project. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on May 21, 1999 and May 28, 1999 . Civil Engineer Sanders presented a summary of the proposed project. The primary objective is to improve the overall water quality by limiting the amount of phosphorus entering into the lake. Short Elliott Hendrickson (SEll) provided the original water quality management study in 1996 and is responsible for the project design. Earlier this year, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik and Associates (BRA) was hired to assess the impacts of water quality changes in Lily Lake and review the strategy of the 1996 SEH report. This report will be used as part of an overall comprehensive lake protection plan. The first phase includes the improvement of West Lake Street Ravine and the Northwest Diversion. This would be funded through an area-wide assessment. The assessment areas include the watersheds of the Lake Street ravine and Northwest Diversion. This would be a one-time assessment to the residents for this project and any future water quality improvements to Lily Lake. r The proposed comprehensive lake protection plan details future phases over the next five years. Future phases would also involve assessing residents of those watersheds. Staff is reco=ending adopting the BRA report as the Lily Lake Comprehensive Lake Protection Plan. Joel Shilling, senior scientist with SEH, summarized the report. Rich Brasch of BRA, Project Manager, discussed the review report of the 1996 SEH report. Councilmember Thole explained to the residents that no "super assessment" will be assessed to properties adjacent to the lake. Councilmember Cummings questioned if the lake could be dredged to eliminate the issue of shallowness. Mr. Schilling stated the contractors will reach out as far as possible, but additional dredging was not within the present scope of the project. The mayor opened the public hearing. Bill Fierke, 724 S. Owens, expressed concern that the project was phased rather than done all at once. He also questioned why alum treatments were not part of the proposal and requested alum treatment be included. He questioned if the project will be delayed, even if the money is raised. Councilmember Thole stated the project will be done if the money is available. r Mr. Nelson, III S. Brick, expressed concern with the holding pond to be constructed at Brick and Myrtle and possible bacldlow into his yard. He did not want a mosquito breeding ground and any possible undermining of the street. 4 City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 (' Duane Nelson, 607 Lake Drive, requested information of design plans of holding ponds. City Engineer Eckles explained final designs are not made until this portion of the public hearing process is completed. He also questioned if holding ponds or running through grassy areas was better. Joel ShilIing, SEH, responded that if used alone, holding ponds are most efficient if designed properly. However, a combination of both is best. Herb Lundberg, 515 Pine Tree Trail, asked what the normal phosphorous level would be if there had been no development. Jackie Ulrich, 612 Lake Drive, asked what share the City was paying. She also expressed disappointment that the Pine Tree Trail area is not included in this phase. Those properties drain into the backyards of the west side of Lake Drive. Myron Scullen, 904 ChurchilI, questioned ifISD 834 wilI be paying for the damage done by runoff from Lily Lake School and the Junior High. He also asked if Lakeview Hospital is included. Mr. Eckles reported the school wilI be included in the next phase, and the hospital is included in the first phase. Ted Gillen, 1011 W. Myrtle St., stated the work done several years ago was poorly done and hoped his property would not be assessed. Ernest Peaslee, 1017 W. Abbot, stated water comes down the gulch and goes into Lily Lake. He r grew up swimming in the lake in the 1930's. It was a great lake; just get the job done. Del Peterson, 1210 W. Willard, expressed frustration with the slow process but is now encouraged that it is progressing. He is happy to pay the assessment. There is now a comprehensive plan, so the City should go ahead and get the project done. Gene Schleusner, 524 S. Brick, questioned if damage will be done to the street during the project and would that involve a future street assessment. Mr. Eckles stated if dredging is done, there would be more impact to the street than if only a small pond is constructed. Gary Warren, 828 S. Greeley, stated no more studies are needed; proceed now with the program. He also requested information on a timeline of construction and cost. Bill Regis, 617 Lake Drive, stated there was no assurance that phase two and three would take place. He asked the rationale for phasing. Mr. Eckles stated doing the entire project now would involve tearing up Greeley Street before street reconstruction is needed. In addition to assessment costs, this could involve losing MSA funds if the street is reconstructed before it is needed. Steve Markert representing the Highlands of Stillwater Homeowners Association, stated the association's seven acres are in a natural state and do not contribute phosphorus to the lake. Mr. Eckles stated staff is recommending that the area be deleted from this phase. Because it is in a natural state, there is no urban runoff. r . . Pat Johnson, 611 Lake Drive, supported the assessment for pollution control but did not support the phasing of the project. Storm sewer control must be done at the same time. She also requested dredging. 5 City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 r Robert Kroening, 12480 N. 720d Street, questioned where will the sludge go if alum treatments are done. Mr. Schilling stated a small layer less than 1/3" settles on the bottom of the lake. Ronald Schoenborn, 514 S. Hemlock, expressed support for the project and asked that it be completed as soon as possible. A resident on Oak Street questioned why the watershed is the only area being assessed when the whole city benefits from the improvement of the lake. Mayor Kimble explained that all residents are responsible for runoff from their own property. In addition, all residents contribute to the storm water utility fund which assists in paying for the project. Bill Fierke, 724 S. Owens, repeated his request that alum treatments be part of the process. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings deleting the undeveloped area owned by the Highlands of Stillwater Homeowners Association from the project and ordering improvement and preparation of plans and specifications for Lily Lake water quality improvements. r Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings amending the motion to include adopting the Lily Lake Water Quality Review Report as the comprehensive plan for Lily Lake. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to adopt Resolution 99-146 ordering improvement and preparation of plans and specifications for Lily Lake Water Quality Improvements and adopting the Lily Lake Water Quality Review Report as the comprehensive plan for Lily Lake, Project 9613. Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble Nays: None Recessed at 10 p.m. and reconvened at 10: 15 p.m. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. Receiving Downtown Pedestrian Lighting Feasibility Report. As directed by Council, staff prepared a feasibility study on downtown decorative street lights. City Engineer Eckles presented the report for lights along Main Street from Nelson to north of Mulberry, and along Chestnut between Main Street and the river. It is proposed NSP would install, own and operate these lights. The City would pay NSP for initial installation as welI as on-going electrical costs. r The total project cost of $262,600 includes the cost of installing the decorative lights and rehabilitating existing overhead lights. The rehabilitation is a maintenance issue and will not be assessed. The new improvements would be assessed at 100% to adjoining property owners. If downtown businesses in the project area respond favorably, the project could be constructed within this year's construction season. 6 City Council Meeting 99-11 June 1, 1999 r Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by CounciJmember Bealka to adopt Resolution 99- 147 receiving the report on installation of decorative street lights in portions of the downtown area and calling a public hearing for July 6, 1999.

Farmers Market Request. r As requested by Councilmember Zoller at the last meeting, adjoining property owners of the Riverview Parking Lot and CUB Foods were notified of the request from the Stillwater Farmers Market to move to the Riverview Parking Lot. The market would be held in the upper lot and open from 7:30 a.m. - II :30 a.m. The request is to begin operations at the Riverview Lot in July. Community Development Director Russell reported three calls from residents were received, and the callers were in support of the market. CUB Foods stated they could not support competition, but the City owns the lot, and Cub Foods does not lease the parking lot on weekends. Richard Kilty, 118 W. Oak Street, stated he supported the concept of the farmers market. However, he asked to take this occasion to ask the city to clean up the parking lot property. He requested the City cut the trees and remove the brush surrounding the lot before the market goes into the lot. Council directed City Engineer Eckles to look into the removal of debris and brush around the Riverview Parking Lot. Motion by Bea1ka, seconded by Thole approving the use of the Riverview Parking Lot for the Farmers Market, beginning July, 1999. All in favor. NEW BUSINESS 1. Approval of2 lot subdivision at 13147 McKusick Road in the RA Single Family Residential District SUB/99-11, Hodge VanTassel, Applicant. r Community Development Director RusselI reported the site is zoned R-A Single Family requiring 10,000 square feet per lot. No new development is proposed as part of this request. The existing lot is currently an existing single family home and auto repair use in two lots. No changes are proposed 7 r c c City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 to the existing structures. The Planning Commission has reviewed the request and recommended approval as conditioned. Conditions are as follows: I) existing residence and driveway access shall be located on the same lot; 2) drainage and utility easements shall be provided as required by the City Engineer; and 3) a certified survey of existing and new lots including existing structures, easements and setbacks, shall be provided before final Council approval and recording of the lot split. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to adopt Resolution 99-148 approving the subdivision of the 7.44 acre lot at 13147 McKusick Lake Road North into two lots of 1.76 and 5.68 acres, as conditioned by the Planning Commission.

Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings directing consideration of zoning use at 13147 McKusick Lake Road to the Planning Commission. All in favor. 2. Annual Financial Report - Larson, Allen, Weishair & Co. Finance Director Deblon reported the independent auditor's report on legal compliance has been received. Tom Koop of Larson, Allen, Weishair & Co., presented a summary of the audit results and stated the audit of the City Annual Financial Report has determined the financial report to be represented fairly. They do not audit intemal controls but will make recommendations. No assurances are made regarding Y2K compliance. 3. City Response to Washington County Water Governance Study. City Engineer Eckles reported that, because of recent failures of water management organizations in Washington County, the County Board authorized a Water Governance Study to examine alternatives to current methods. The study concluded there are too many small water govemance units within the county. The report recommended minimizing the number of units, increasing the fiscal capacity of each, and raising the level of competence and involvement of the restructured districts. Options included leaving the system as is, combining all into one large district, or creating three large districts wholly within the County. Where existing districts cross over to other counties, those districts would remain the same. Although he favored the second option of three units, he was concerned that Stillwater was being placed in the North Washington Unit which would be predominantly townships and rural areas. There would be basic philosophical differences and cost sharing issues. City Engineer Eckles recommended Option 2A which would add an additional district known as the Middle St. Croix River Unit. He sent a letter to Sherri Buss, facilitator of this study, and requested more consideration be given to Option 2A. He requested Council's direction on the City's position on the options. 8 c r .,..~ ("' City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Thole directing staff to submit a letter to Washington County requesting the County Board give further consideration to boundary issues related to the restructuring of water management governance. AlI in favor. 4. Possible first reading of Tree Protection Ordinance. Community Development Director Russell reported staffhas been working with the City Attorney, the City Forester, and the Tree Committee to prepare a revised draft ordinance. The revised draft is included in the Council packet. Council expressed concern with the charge of $25 per diameter inch of significant tree removed. Don McKenzie, 12620 N, n"d St., stated the ordinance goes far beyond a tree ordinance. It includes vegetation and shrubs; this is excessive regulation. He would need a permit just to continue maintaining his property. Hodge Van Tassel, 13093 N. McKusick Road stated that as a taxpayer, the City can't tell him ifhe can cut down his own trees or shrubs. Leah Peterson, member of the tree committee, stated the vegetation is included because it is protecting the slopes during development and native vegetation in forested areas. Paula Kroening, 12480 N. n"d Street, stated the "native land" being discussed was originally corn and wheat fields. Councilmember Thole stated staff was directed to develop an ordinance but the proposed ordinance is becoming overburdensome. Enforcement would be difficult as revisions take the teeth out of the ordinance. Motion by Councilmember Bealka to no longer pursue the development of a new tree protection ordinance and enforce the current tree ordinance. Died for lack of second. Council agreed the ordinance should require a license for commercial pruning, chemical treatment or removal of trees. However, the current draft ordinance should be simplified and include trees only. Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Cummings directing staff to continue to refine the draft tree protection ordinance. 4-1 (Bealka nay) 5. Results from the Joint Stillwater City/Township Planning Review of Bergmann Property Comprehensive Plan Amendment City Attorney Magnuson reported the resolution adopted by Council for annexation of 40 acres of the Bergmann Farm, most of which lies north of 62" Street, adjacent to County Road 15, was filed with the Municipal Board, pursuant to the Orderly Annexation Agreement. However, the Board did not act on it before the Board was disbanded on June I, 1999. However, the Executive Director of the Board remains on duty. The State Planning Director will perform Municipal Board functions in the interim and has scheduled the approval of the Orderly Annexation Resolution for the July 7, 1999, meeting. The Executive Director is confident it will be approved at that time. Community Development Director Russell reported the development plans for the property were presented to the Joint Board and Stillwater Township Planning Commission. An amendment to the 9 City Council Meeting 99-11 June 1, 1999 (' Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendment would be needed to permit attached housing on the Bergmann parcel. At the May 19th meeting, the Joint Board voted 2-2 on the amendments. In effect, this action denies the amendment to the comprehensive plan and zoning. City Attorney Magnuson explained that in a deadlock, the Orderly Annexation Agreement provides the Joint Board Members shall designate a qualified neutral to conduct mediation and potential arbitration. The City can either withdraw the request or pursue mediation and arbitration. He requested Council direction. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller directing City Attorney Magnuson to pursue the mediation/arbitration feature of the Orderly Annexation Agreement relating to the Bergmann property annexation and zoning dispute. All in favor. COMMUNICATIONSIREOUESTS I. Board of Water Commissioners - Water Storage Facility for Annexed Area. Community Development Director Russell reported the Board of Water Commissioners, at their May 13, 1999, meeting, discussed a storage facility for the newly annexed area of Stillwater. Cost estimates had been received for both an elevated tank and for an underground reservoir. The Board determined the underground reservoir would be less controversial from residents, and the top of the reservoir could be incorporated into park land. It was assumed this reservoir can be constructed on City property known as Settler's Park, directly across from the land where well #11 is to be drilled. The property would be at no cost to the Water Board. The Board is requesting authorization to place ~ the storage facility on the City property. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka approving the request of the Board of Water Commissioners to place the underground storage facility on City property known as Settler's Park. Counciimember Zoller questioned why it should be constructed on City land at no cost to the Water Board. The City is always subsidizing Water Board activities. Councilmember Zoller stated Benson Park is now smaller because the City gave part of the park to the Water Board for a pumphouse. Even if the storage facility is underground, there would be some things (such as a building) that cannot be placed on top of an underground structure. Counciimember Thole withdrew his motion. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to direct City Coordinator Kriesel to report back to Council at the next meeting with a recommendation on the request of the Water Board to place an underground storage facility at Settler's Park. City Coordinator Kriesel stated staffhad not made a recommendation on the request because he thought it would be approved since the storage facility was underground and the surface could be used for recreational purposes. Staff did not recognize any adverse implications; however, r Councilmember Zoller did bring up the possibility that it could restrict use. Staff informed Zoller that no park use would be lost and the pumphouse would be on other property provided by the developer. 10 . . r r r City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to rescind the previous motion. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings approving the request of the Board of Water Commissioners to place an underground storage facility on City property known as Settler's Park. All in favor. COUNCIL REOUEST ITEMS Mayor Kimble returned to Item No. I from the 4:30 p.m. meeting.

STAFF REPORTS (continued) Community Development Director Russell reported Union Pacific Railroad has inquired if the City is interested in purchasing land south of town, from Nelson to the south city limits. The property is appraised at $87,800. The Railroad is requesting $240,000. The offer would be made for the purpose of continuing discussion. Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Thole directing Community Development Director Russell to offer Union Pacific Railroad the appraised value for property from Nelson Street to the south city limits and continue negotiations for the purchase of the right-of-way. All in favor. Community Development Director Russell also reported the Cayuga is leaking and becoming a potential nuisance. He requested Council's direction for preserving the boat, including future use and ownership of the boat. Council stated the report should also include the sale of the boat. All options should be included in the report. Options should be based on cost-effectiveness. City Coordinator Kriesel reported there have been inquiries for the purchase of the Cayuga. Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Thole directing Community Development Director Russell to prepare a report on options for preservation, use, or sale of the Cayuga. All in favor. Mr. Russell also requested authorization to work with Master Civil & Construction Engineering Inc. for survey work for the construction of the Water Street Parking Lot, and authorization to spend up to $5,000 out of Planning funds for survey work for that parking lot. Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Thole authorizing survey work by Master Civil & Construction Engineering Inc., for a cost of up to $5,000, for the construction of the Water Street Parking Lot. All in favor. 11 , .' r City Council Meeting 99-11 June I, 1999 City Coordinator Kriesel reported the Browns Creek Watershed District is forming an advisory committee to create a second generation water management plan.

AlI in favor. City Coordinator Kriesel also wanted to clarifY to residents on Burlington that the letters sent to residents regarding the movie production permit for Tundra Films (approved on consent agenda), incorrectly stated the filming will be on Burlington Street between South Second Street and South Fourth.
