Company for work performed under that certain contract tetween the Moelter
Construction Company and the City, which contract was dated November 25, 1958.
(Construction of earth dam at north end of McKusick Lake.)
Mayor Madsen explained that many truck loads of suitable material have been hauled
and dumped alone the north end of McKusick Lake which was designated and recommended
by the State Conservation Department, Division of Waters as a proper site for a
dam to raise the water level in the lake, but due to muck deposits in the area the
till material has been settling and as a result it will require many more yards.
of materiel than was estimated by the State Conservation Department at the time
the City called for bids to construct said dam. (Plans and specifications for
construction of the dam were prepared by the State Department of Conservation.)
Mr. Harvey Moeltem of the Moelter Construction Company, requested that the Council
authorize payment of '11,250.80 which amount represents the contract price for
construction of the earth dam. He explained that it is impossible to complete
the spill -way portion of the dam because the steel sheet piling furnished by
footing.e Mr.sMoeltern lsoar requested not of that thesCouncilnt length terminateto theeach a solid
Deprtment contract

The City Attorney stated that in his opinion the Council could legally terminate
the contract with the Moelter Construction Company covering construction of the
dam at the north end of McKissick Lake, release bond covering said contract and
authorize payment of all work completed to date. He also stated that the Council
reserves the right to complete said dam by force account or re -advertise for
bids and enter into a contract.

Councilman Simpson brought up the matter of entering into a contract with the
Stillwater Development Corporation, said contract would guarantee fire protection
over and above contract presently in force with Stillwater Township. He ex-
plained that the Corporation would be charged at the rate of $1,000.00 per fire
run and also some nrovisicn would be set up in the contract for a stand-by fee
or charge. He also stated that the Corporation would get a substantial decrease
in fire insurance premiums if the proposed agreement was approved by the Council.
Mayor Madsen was opposed to entering into a special contract.covering any prop-
erty outside the City limits except school buildings. Re felt that such agree-
ments would tend to discourage the possibility of annexation to the City of
areas around the City. He stated the Council should make every effort to en-
courage annexation which in turn would increase the assessed valuation and
provide a greater tax base.

Councilman Simpson reported that he and Fire Chief Lawson have tabulated and
analyzed the five bias submitted on a new fire engine pumper, which bids were
opened and read aloud at the regular meeting of the Council on March 10, 1959.
He explained that all of the bids met specifications and that the bid submitted
by the Public Works Equipment Company exceeded specifications because said bid
included booster reel, one inch booster hose and nozzle. Stated that he and the
fire chief recommend purchase of the 1000 G.P.M. fire engine pumper, all wheel
drive, manufactured by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company of Clintonville, Wis-
consin at a firm price of 116,845.60. On motion of Councilman Simnson seconded
by Councilman Charlser It was decided to purchase the 1000 G.P.M. fire engine
pumper, all wheel drive, manufactured by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company of
Clintonville, Wisconsin at a firm price of 116,845.60 and the Mayor and City
Clerk were authorized and directed to enter into a contract covering purchase
of said truck.
Following is an opinion rendered by the City Attorney with reference to pro-
posed agreement between Korner Displays, Inc. and the City for litterbug
receptacles. (This matter was referred to the City Attorney at the last reg-
ular meeting of the Council on March 10, 1959) "Inasmuch as said agreement
in its proposed form would grant to Korner Display's, Inc., an exclusive
privilege for a period of at least five years, it is my opinion that the City
is without power to enter into such agreement. It is my opinion that the matter
comes within the purview of Charter section 301 which provides that no ordin-
ance granting any franchise shall become operative unless submitted to the
voters and approved by a majority voting on same. There appears to be no
other controlling legislative or constitutional authority". (No action taken
at this time.)
Following is an opinion rendered by the City Attorney in regard to contract
with Moelter Construction Co. in connection rlth dam at MoKusick Lake.
"At a Special Meeting held on March 2, 1959, you considered the request of
R. W. Moelter and Harvey Moelter that they be excused from further perform-
ance under their contract to construct a dam and to do certain other work at
MCKusick Lake, which contract was entered into on November 25, 1958. You
requested preparation of a Resolution terminating the said contract and author-
izing payment of the reasonable value of labor and materials performed and
provided thereunder. Inasmuch as I had not contemplated your taking tnis
particular action, I deliberately postponed the drafting of such a Resolution:
until I had had an opportunity to research the legal questions Involved.
The principal issue with which we are concerned is: when is a party, who
contracts absolutely to do a thing which is not impossible or unlawful,
bound to do it? Tinder the common law, performance was required unless pre-
vented by an act of God, the law or the other party to the contract. Recent
cases in the State of Minnesota show a definite tendency to break away from
this harsh rule and to subscribe to the view that, where performance of the
contract has become impracticable due to extreme or unreasonable difficulty,
expense, injury or loss caused by facts not only unanticipated but also in-
consistent with facts that the parties obviously assumed to exist, and has
become so vitally different from what should reasonably have been within the
contemplation of the parties when they entered the contract, the risk should
not fairly be thrown upon the promisor. Each case must, of course, be de-
termined on its own particular facts. Accordingly, if you have honestly and
in good faith determined that present circumstances do not merely render per-
formance of the contract more difficult and expensive but are such as were
unanticipated and obviously not assumed to exist at the time of the contract;
then, it is my opinion, the foregoing rule of law would permit termination
of the contract".

lots 5 and 6, block 9, Cooper's Addition in commercial district B. Property
owned by Mr. Knefelkamp and he 1s operating a gasoline filling station and
confectionery store on said land. The Council members agreed that the area
involved in the request from Mr. Knefelkamp should be rezoned and the Mayor
requested that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance which would place the
area in commercial district B and also the area on South Main Street across
from the barge terminal property. (Nelson 011 Company)
On motion of Councilman Charlsen seconded by Councilman Jewell the Chief of

On motion of Councilman Charlsen seconded by Councilman Simpson the Chief of

arrange for these firemen to attend the eighth annual fire school at the
University of Minnesota Farm Campus on April 27 through May 1, 1959. A11 le-
gal expenses incurred by the firemen will be paid by the City.
Mr. Vernon Stenseng and Mr. William Fierke appeared before the Council and
requested that the Council consider and act upon one of the following items.
1. Issue non -conforming permit to construct a gasoline filling station
(Service station) on the northwest corner at the intersection of Third
and Churchill Streets.
2. Rezone the area referred to in item one from residential to commercial B.
Mr. Stenseng explained that in his opinion there are only a few locations in
the City that are suitable for the purpose of locating a modern service station
end that the business district or downtown area is over crowded at the present
time. He also stated that there is a definite need for a modern service station
on the south hill at this time because service stations along highway 212 are
being moved to provide for road expansion. He also felt that removal of the
old house at Third and Churchill Streets and replacing same with a modern ser-
vice station would be a definite improvement in that area. Plans and pictures
of the proposed new station were presented. Mr. Stenseng then presented a
petition with signatures of 64 persons residing on the south hill which petition
read in part as follows: "We the undersigned property owners in blocks 3, 4,
5, 12, 13 and 14 of Churchill, Nelson and Slaughters Addition, do hereby con-
sent and state that we have no objection to the Stenseng and Fierke Petroleum

Company of Stillwater. Minnesota, erecting a service station on the northwest
corner of Third and Churchill Streets". Mr. John Rheinberper, attorney at law,
appeared before the Council and presented a petition with signatures of 54 per-
sons, which petition read in part as follows: "We the undersigned owners of
property within a block and a half of South Third and Churchill Streets are
opposed to any change in the zoning regulations of that area. We are specific-
ally opposed to the granting of a permit to establish a filling station on any
of the corners of that intersection". Mr. Rheinberper stated that in his opinion
the Council could not legally grant a permit to erect a filling station on
either corner of the intersection of Third and Churchill Streets because it would
be contrary to existing ordinance which provides in part that a gasoline fill-
ing station must be at least 300 feet from any building used for the purpose
of public gathering which has a seating capacity of 50 persons or more. He
pointed out that the labor temple which is located on the southeast corner of
Third and Churchill is such a building. He felt the Council should proceed
slowly on rezoning any area in the City. He stated people residing in the
vicinity of Third and Churchill Streets are very proud of their property and
have spent thousands of dollars to improve same and if the neighborhood was
deteriorating then it would probably be advisable to rezone the area. Mr.
Rheinberper stated that much junk is stored behind the service station owned
by Stenseng and Fierke at their downtown location and such a condition would
probably exist at their proposed new location. He stated that a gasoline fill-
ing station is dangerous and gasoline creates a good deal of odor. Mr. Fierke
read a survey on the safety of service stations which was compiled in the
cities of Detroit and Buffalo. The survey showed that very few accidents are
caused in and around sub stations. Mr. Fierke also stated that the reason
for barrels being stored behind their station In the downtown area was due to
lack of space. Mr. Dave Monson, from the Mutual Insurance Company, stated
that insurance rates would not increase on residential property around the
proposed service station. Mr. John Akers, property appraisor, stated that
in his opinion the locating of a service station at Third and Churchill
Streets would not tend to reduce the value of property in the area. Mr. Wally
Randevidt, local contractor, stated that in his opinion property values would
increase if the proposed station was located at Third and Churchill Streets.
Councilman Jewell stated that he has always felt that the general area involved
should be rezoned from residential to commercial. Councilman Tennant stated
that there is presently another service station in the general area and he felt
if people outside the City were engaged to view the City in general they would
probably recommend that the area at Third end Churchill Streets would be re-
zoned from residential to commercial. Mayor Madsen inquired of the City At-
torney if the Council could legally act on the request for a special permit.
The City Attorney stated that he would not attempt to advise the Council at
this time because there are legal questions involved which would require add-
itional time for research. The Council decided to postpone action on both the
request for special permit and rezoning of the area involved until the City
Attorney has had an opportunity to study the matter and file his opinion.
On motion of Councilman Tennant seconded by Councilman Simpson the Building
Inspector's Report covering activities during the month of March, 1959 was
approved and ordered filed.
A request from Robert Burger and Harold LaBore for 2 hour parking limit on
Water Street between Nelson and Chestnut Streets was carried over to the next
meeting of the Council.
A request from Stanley 0. Larson for installation of a culvert to divert water
at Seeley and Oak Streets was referred to the City Engineer.

COMMUNICATIONS
From Roward J. McLaughlin, 1003 South Fifth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota, which
read in part as follows: "While my name appears on petition of Stenseng and
Fierke Petroleum Company to erect a service station at Third and Churchill
Streets and although I have no personal objections to said station I believe
matters of this nature should be decided by those property owners in the area
concerned".

place for their delivery truck".
UNFINISRED BUSINESS
At the regular meeting of the Council held on April 7, 1959 Mr. Stenseng and
Mr. Fierke appeared before the Council and requested that the Council consider
one of the following items.
1. Grant a non -conforming permit to construct a gasoline filling station at
Third and Churchill Streets.
2. Rezone the area referred to in item one from residential to commercial B.
Petitions for and against granting of a special permit or rezoning the area
referred to above were presented at the April 7th meeting and all persons pre-
sent were given an opportunity to express themselves in regard to this matter.
Mayor Madsen then announced that the matter would be carried over to this meet-
ing which would allow time for the City Attorney to study the matter and render
his opinion. An opinion from the City Attorney was presented which read in
part as follows:"Thus in conclusion there seems to be no legal authority
for granting of a special or non -conforming permit authorizing the use requested
in the application under consideration. Rowever, the Council, taking into con-
sideration all of the facts and circumstances. effecting the property in question
and the surrounding area, may amMend the zoning ordinance so as to permit now
prohibited uses upon this or any other property provided such action is rea-
sonable, substantially related to the public welfare and in accordance with a
comprehensive plan for the future physical development and improvement of the
City". After the legal opinion from the City Attorney was read Mr. Stenseng
butt requested that lthe d lCouncil ke to iconsider thdraw i the s ematter quest fof rezoning or a ntheareformint a from

From James L. Douville, City Attorney, which read as follows: "You have in-
quired as to the compensation of the Special Municipal Judge while presiding
in the absence of the Municipal Judge. Section 20 of.the special act estab-
lishing the Municipal Court provides that the Special Judge, when acting as
judge of said court, shall receive compensation in addition to the salary of
$100.00 per year fixed by said act at the rate of $5.00 per day. The same to
be paid by the'Clty and deducted from the salary of the Municipal Judge except
that when such additional compensation shall be for services performed by
the Special Judge when the Municipal Judge is absent with the consent of the
City Council or when said Special Judge is called to assist the Municipal Judge
during an unusual Press of business. The said Special Judge shall be paid by
the City and the same shall not be deducted from the salary of the Municipal
Judge. If either of the exceptions mentioned above should exist it would appear
that the City can lawfully pay the Special Judge at the rate of $5.00 per day
for services rendered while acting as Judge of the Municipal Court".

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Councilman Charlsen
1. He suggested that the Council consider the matter of remodeling the Court
Room and Council Chamber. He then presented plans and stated that said
plans were drawn by Mayor Madsen. On motion of Councilman Charlsen
seconded by Councilman Jewell the plans, as presented, were approved and
the Clerk was directed to advertise for bids on remodeling of the Court
Room and Council Chamber. Bids returnable May 21, 1989 at 4a30 P.M.
Councilman Jewell
1. Suggested that the Council consider reducing insurance covering the new
street lighting system from $80,000.00 to y$45,000.00. On motion of Council-
man Jewell seconded by Councilman Simpson the City Clerk was directed to
order a reduction in the insurance coverage as suggested by Councilman
Jewell. (00,000.00 to $45,000.00)
2. Stated that it would cost about $60.00 to construct a base and install
light standard on same. Total cost including standard and luminare about
$600.00. He also stated that the board of trustees of Trinity Lutheran
Church have indicated that they are willing to pay part.of the cost.
(Light to be installed north of approach to fire station on North Third
Street.) The Clerk was directed to order a light standard and luminare
from the Linner Electric Company complete with bolts to fasten the standard
to the concrete base.
3. He stated that the county has purchased a portable machine to mix tarvia
known as a hot mix and suggested that the City Engineer contact the County

Councilman Simpson
1. He read a copy of a letter addressed to Band Parents of School District
No. 834 which read in part as follows: "For a number of years the City of
Stillwater has financed part of the summer program along with the summer
concerts. Now the Council feels that because up to 40 percent of the stu-
dents involved in the summer instrumental program do not come from the City
of Stillwater they can no longer work under the agreement which dates back
some nine or ten years. This is certainly understandable since the day
time instructional program is a s:hool district program". Councilman Simpson
suggested that the Clerk contact Mr. Campbell, Superintendent of School
District 834 and explain the City's position in regard to this matter.
2. He suggested that the City enter into separate contracts for fire protection
covering various buildings outside the City limits such as the Ammerman
Plant, New Oak Park School, Stillwater Clinic and Olson Transfer Company.
On motion of Councilman Tennant seconded by Councilman Simpson it was de-
cided to authorize Councilman Simpson to negotiate with any firm or school
district for said separate contracts within _nehalf mile outside the pre-
sent City limits providing such property has a water supply furnished by
the City of Stillwater and that said property has a valuation of not less
than $75,000.00. Councilman Charlsen voted no on this matter. All con-
tracts for fire protection will require Council approval before becoming
effective. (All property mentioned is presently covered under contract
with the township forfire protection.)

From Banister Engineering Company, calling the Council's attention to a problem
which has arisen in connection with the proposed interceptor sewer line along
the river front on property now under lease to the Stillwater St. Croix Barge
Terminal Company. (Manholes on interceptor sewer) On motion of Councilman
Jewell seconded by Councilman Simpson the matter was referred to the City Engi-
neer.
From the City Attorney which read in part as follows: "The question has arisen
as to what, if any, authority the new created planning commission may have to
incur expenses incidental to its work. M.S.A. 471.26 - 471.33 enables munici-
palities to engage in planning activities and in connection therewith to appoint
a commission of citizens to act in an advisory capacity. Authority to engage
in such activities would imply authority to incur expenses necessary or inci-
dental thereto. However, such authority in the absence of contrary legal pro-
nouncement is vested in the City Council and not the planning commission. Con-
sequently, the planning commission has no authority to contract or to incur ob-
ligations binding upon the City".

On motion of Councilman Charlsen seconded by Councilman Jewell it was decided

After some discussion it was decided to take no further action in regard to
a letter addressed to Band Parents and signed by Mr. Campbell, Superintendent
of School District No. 834. A copy of this letter was read at a previous Council
meeting and the City Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. Campbell and explain
the City's position with reference to summer band concerts financed by the City

At a previous meeting of the Council it was decided to reduce the insurance
covering the new street lighting system in the downtown area from 080,000.00
to 045,000.00. The Clerk reported that upon investigation it was found that

$17 40 (co-insurance) per year. Premium on 04 ,000.00 coverage would amount

Stillwater are unable to contact our base radio station since the antenna

COMMUNICATIONS
From C. C. Ludwig, Executive Secretary of the League of Minnesota Municipal-
ities, which read in part as follows: "Pleaseconvey to the Council, my thanks
for the resolution of commendation they.adopted and which, with many others,
was presented to me at the International Falls Convention when we announced
my pending retirement at the University and as League secretary".
From Moody and Springsted, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota, fiscal agents engaged
by the City which read in part as follows: "We have examined the sewer rental
ordinance which the City Attorney has prepared. It has been most expertly done.
Your provision for the placing of delinquencies on taxes pursuant to the
authority of the statutes is an excellent one. Before the final adoption of
rates is made we suggest that it would be well to consider the possibility of
basing rates upon the water bill of the winter quarter. The more we think about
this the moro we favor it. This method would lend itselfmore readily to growth.
It is a recognized fact, exclusive of the addition of units, water consumption
in most communities continues to rise per capita. Thus, a sewer rental charge
based upon water consumption would keep pace automatically with increased water
usage. By contrast the rate method we have proposed now would produce more
income only by the addition of new units or by a revision of the rate ordinance.
In the light of the history of such things the later possibility is never a
strong probability. A further advantage of the water consumption basis is that
it is less likely to create controversies such as will arise when varying rates
are proposed for different categories of users. The big disadvantage of course,
of a water consumption basis, is the mechanics ofcomputation each year. In
order to avoid the arguments which are sure to come from people who use water

"It is evident to me from the experience which I have now had acting as Municipal
Judge that tne duties of the Clerk are important and numerous. It is becoming
apparent that the court business is on the upswing. For tne Court to operate
efficiently, it must depend upon a capable clerk and staff. The present Municipal
Court Clerk is doing an exceptional job and it is my opinion that he should be
compensated for it. It is the courts recommendation that the salary of the
clerk be set at no less than $150.00 per month. Yourconsideration of this
-"' recommendation will be very much appreciated". The foregoing correspondence
was also approved by Judge Nolan on July 7, 1959.

It is our recommendation that financing in the amount of $710,000.00 be undertaken.
However, in view of the two contingent items of the estimated cost, it appears
feasible ;:that_$700,000.00 may be adequate. It is our recommendation, financing
be accomplished by the issuance of general obligation bonds of. the City pursuant
to the provisions of chapters 429 and 475 of Minnesota Statutes Annotated. Upon
the C ouncil's determination that $700,000.00 will be adequate, it is our reoom-
mendation the. Council proceed forthwith with the issuance of these bonds. They
cannot be delivered until such time as contracts for the improvement have actually

be called as soon as practical without waiting until final determination of the.
construction contracts. However, since the receipt of bids for the construction
work on October 6, could conceivably considerably change present estimates of the
amount -of money needed, we believe it is wise to place the date of the bond.offer
a few ,days afterwards. The time required for the printing of bonds should coin-
cide with the time required to reoeive approval of the contracts from the. Federal
people in Kansas City. It is our recommendation the bonds be sold upon the terms
and oonditions set out in the proposed notice of bond sale.
In arriving at the maturity schedule we have assumed total To essmeentsrof $237,000
of which approximately 25% or $59,000.00 will be prepaid.
have assumed none of the assessments will be prepaid prior to the debt service re-
quirements of the period November 1, 1959 to. May 1, 1961. In that only one-half of
these prepayments will be received to meet the debt service of May, 1961 to -May 1,
1962, with the other half being received the succeeding, year. Following this pre-.
payent'me have assumed there will be no other prepayments and that the principal
amount of $8,750.00 of assessments will be received each year with interest upon
the udpaid balsnce.at the rate of 6$ per cent per annum. We have also assumed that

supplemented with a tax levy of approximately $25,000.00 which is about 7} mills
of your :present assessed valuation. From May 1, 1961 to the end of the issue we
have assumed a tax levyin this amount will becntinuedmandrwwill Qbe supppplem1,ented

by $10.000.00 from sewer rentals. By'making all
subject to call on that date, $245,000.00 of the issue' which is 35% of the total
amount will be subject to redemption at that time thus enabling the City to re,.
finance at a more favorable rate ofrest if f such hesho lddcbepteecasefl hen. It
will also permit the City to prepay some
present estimates. •
The program which we are recommending is a conservative. one. We believe the. City
could :pay those bonds faster than suggested but have preferred to recommend a more
conservative course of action with the flexibility of a redemption privilege. We
have arrived at the total assessment figure in the following manner:
1,500 residences at $100.00, $150,000.00
105 commercial, properties a 300.00 31,500.00
15 churches 0 1,000.00 15,000.00
Pubite schools 35,840.00
Count,- property 5,000.00
Total 237,340.00
•
The assessments for the public schools and county property were arrived at by con-
sidering the contribution which would be paid by these areas if they were residen-
tial property. In each instance, we believe the suggested amount of assessment

large volumes just as water rates are reduced for the larger consumers. However,
we believe the charges of these users should be proportinate to the basic charges
to residential properties,
The use of water by sn industrial operation is as important to it as any of its
machinery, personnel or power and it should therefore expect to pay for it. We
recognise there may be some instances particularly in the case of large users where
it will be necessary for the Council to make some adj:a tments. In these situations,
we believe the most realistic approach then is to establish a maximum charge.
Wherever a user does nothave a city water meter then he shoulu be required to in-
stall a meter on his supply source at his expense if the water is discharged into
the sanitary sewer system" (This letter refers to financing of the proposed inter-
ceptor sewers and sewage treatment plant and lift stations.) On motion of Council-
man Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, it was decided to follow the suggestions
as outlined in the above letter for financing of the proposed new interceptor sewers,
sewage treatment plant and lift stations.
From James L. Douville, City Attorney, which read as follows: "At the Council

provision relative to the passage of ordinances. Zoning ordinances and amendments
thereof, are controlled by State Law and in order to clarify the point, I enclose

COMMUNICATIONS
From the Banister Engineering Company which read as follows: "This letter is writ-
ten relative to plans and specifications for the sanitary sewers in the area between
MoKusick Lake and Lily Lake which is also that portion of the sanitary sewers in our
previous report entitled Area B and is further for that area for which a public hear-
ing is being held on November 5th. Our purpose in writing you about this is that no
street grade has as yet been established for Sunny Slope Lane and for Sunset Drive.
Some of the area on which these streets are proposed is low and will require a sub-
stantial portion of fill. If the proposed lift station is built to an elevation to
serve the balance of the area the proposed sewer at the north end of Sunny Slope Lane
would be on top of the existing ground at a short distance south of this through a
present pothole. The proposed sewer would be approximately three (3) feet above
existing grade. Filling the ground to this proposed elevation appears to be a reason-
able possibility. However, we hesitate to try to out -guess what the developers might
do. Probably the safest procedure would be to lower the lift station approximately
five (5) feet. This will raise the cost of the lift station approximately $2,500.00
to $3,000.00. It is our recommendation that calling for bids on this project be de-
layed until such time as the street grade is established. It is our recommendation
that no sewers be constructed on streets until they are actually physically graded,
not just establishing a grade on paper. We should like the opportunity to discuss
this matter with you in detail at your special meeting on the afternoon of October
14th."
From the James B.wolf Construction Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, which read as follows
"Regard Pine Street Sewer System. We propose to rough grade Grove Street from Pine
to Oak plus or minus feet north of Oak at no additional cost to the City if we are
awarded the above mentioned sewer project." On motion of Councilman Jewell, seconded
by Councilman Simpson, this matter was referred to the Superintendent of Public Works
and he,in turn, to furnish the necessary levels so that the Wolf Construction Company
oan carry out their offer as outlined in the letter.
From the Banister Engineering Company which read as follows: "We are pleased to pre-
sent the following proposal for engineering services on Municipal State Aid street
work in Stillwater, Minnesota, for the year 1960 as discussed with you at the Council
meeting on October 6, 1959. The Municipal State Aid Law allows the State Highway De-
partment to allocate funds up to 5% of the project cost for preliminary engineering
and up to 7%, of the project costs for construction engineering on any one project
making a total of 12%. The funds for the street construction and engineer come from
moneys allocated to Stillwater for Municipal State Aid street work. Preliminary engi-
neering as interpreted by the State Highway 'Department consists of all necessary pre-
liminary plans and cost estimated, public hearings, conferences with city officials
and interested groups of people, assessment esttmates and hearings if assessments are
proposed, surveys and drawing of detail plans end specifications, advertising for
bids and opening and tabulation of bids. Construction engineering is interpreted by
the State Highway Department to mean the awarding of a contract, all necessary field
surveying and staking for grading, inspection of materials being used on the project
and general supervisory engineering and inspection of the entire project. Also draw-
ing up monthly cost estimates and final contract payments based on the bid proposal
and making the final inspection to see that all work has been done in accordance with
the plans and specifications. We propose to provide the following engineering ser-
vices:
Preliminary engineering report.
We will provide preliminary engineering services which will consist of a report
showing a preliminary plan and grade.
Extent of work necessary for the project and cost estimate.
All legal descriptions.
Prepare data for public hearings.
Attend all pertinent public hearings and other meetings as directed by the coun-
cil. For this work we are to be paid a sum equal to one and one-half per cent
of the cost of construction. The sum of one and one-half per cent shall be due
and payable to us upon submission of the project to you and your approval thereof.
Plans and specifications.
If the council proceeds with the project after the public hearing, we proposed
to provide a detailed set of plans and specifications for all proposed improve-
ments, advertising of bids, open and tabulate such bids, examine and recommend
to the council whether the project should be awarded and constructed. For this
work, we will be paid the sum of three percent and the lowest responsible bid-
der which shall be due and payable to us upon completion of the plans and speci-
fications. Their approval by the necessary State agencies and their approval by
your city council. This provides a total fee for preliminary engineering within
the scope of highway department definitions equal to four and one-half (44) per
cent of the cost.

General supervision.
We propose to provide general supervision during the construction phase of the
project which will include certified periodic estimates for payments to contract-
ors to the City Council.
Final inspection.of the project.
Preparation of the fihal "as billed" plans and working with the project engineer
or inspector. For this work we are to be paid a fee equal to two percent of the
construction cost of the project.
Staking and field surveys during construction.
Should the City Council desire us to do the actual surveying and staking we shall
do so on a per diem basis equal to the actual salary paid by us to our engineers
plus 50% mileage, shall be charged at the rate of 8 cents per mile when actually
engaged in the work subject to the ceiling hereinafter outlined.
Resident inspection.
Should the council desire us to furnish the services of a full time inspector,we
shall furnish said qualified and competent and experienced inspector at a fee
equal to the salary paid by us to the man, plus 50 per cent of said salary plus
mileage at the rate of 8 per cent per mile when engaged in the work. Materials
inspection done on a commercial laboratory shall be billed at cost. All these
charges are subject to the ceiling hereinafter outlined.
Ceiling.
All work included as construction engineering shall be charged at the foregoing
fees and charges except at the maximum charge therefore including general super-
vision, staking and field surveys and resident inspection shall not exceed a sum
equal to 6 per cent of the construction cost.
SUMMARY.
In some way we proposed to provide a complete and necessary preliminary engineer-
ing and detail plans for four and one-half percent of the actual cost. We also
propose to provide general supervision of the project under construction for a
two per cent of the project cost. Survey crews, inspections and tests of
materials will be extra but shall not exceed four per cent of the construction
cost. The city will have the privilege of providing their own inspector or sur-
vey crew under the direction of the project engineer who provides the general
supervision if so desired.
Special provisions.
The foregoing percentage fees are in direct accordance with the recommended
schedule of minimum fees for professional engineering services. It is stipulated
and agreed that all percentage fees are to be based on the actual construction
cost with the exception that if the Report or certain plans and specifications
are;prepared for work, which for some unforeseeable reason, is not constructed,
tie fee for e mated cost toftsuch twork. ion f In accepting this work not tproposal ructed hthe City all be aauthorizesed upon,uses-
to proceed only with the work outlined in the paragraph "Preliminary Engineering"
Report. Any further steps are to be taken only upon further authorization by -
the City Council. The City agrees to make available all pertinent City records
and furnish us with all information and data prepared and collected by other
Engineers which is now available w the City. The City reserves the right to can-
cel this Contract at any time upon a majority vote of the Council and payment is
to be made to us only for the work previously authorized. We shall be pleased,
to consider this a Proposal a Contract between us upon the signature of your
officials."

From Mr. E. H. E.Palmer, Assistant District Maintenance Engineer, State Highway

way routes was read. Mayor Madsen referred this matter to the Superintendent of
Public Works.
From the Board of Water Commisssloners explaining charge for moving hydrant at
corner of Third and Pine Streets. Also enclosed was a list showing number and
location of hydrants which should be replaced. On motion of Councilman Charlaen,
seconded by Councilman Simpson, the matter was referred to the Superintendent of
Public Works with instructions to replace defective hydrant" whenever money was
available for such purposes.
From the Banister Engineering Company addressed to Mayor Madsen in regard to
staking out the interceptor sewer line along the river front in connection with
the sewage treatment plant.
From Mr. R. V. Aurae, Assistant Director, Department of Civil Defense:,, State of
Minnesota addressed to Mr, Art Kleinschnits, Civil Defense Director City of
Stillwater, which read as follows: "Several inquiries have been made to this
office relating to the desirability of combining the rescue service as • division
of the fire service on municipal and county levels. Originally the policy of this
department was to maintain separate services in these two fields. However, with
the development of a Minnesota Operational Survival Plan, a policy was made plac-
ing fire and rescue in one service, but within that service maintaining two di-
visions. To the best of my knowledge no formal announcement was made of this
policy change other than its incorporation in the proto type county and municipal
survival plans. I believe that you might find it highly desirable to place your
rescue service in with the fire service in Stillwater, making the rescue a division
of the Stillwater Fire Department. Personnel assigned to rescue would retain
their identity as rescue workers and would be handled the same as the auxiliary
civil defense fire people in the fire services. You might also find it desirable
to use fire calls as a means of further training for your rescue personnel by per-
d-by basis to

From Mr. George Smart, Manager, Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, requesting that
the City pay the electric bill in connection with street Christmas decorations
in the business district. On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Council-
man Simpson, it was decided to comply with the request and pay the electric bill
in connection with Christmas decorations in the business district.
From Osman R.Springsted of Moody and springsted, Inc. in regard to payment for
their services as fiscal agents for the City in connection with the $700,000
sewage treatment plant bonds. The matter was carried over to the next meeting of
the Council on November 24th at 7:30 P.M.
From I. A.Bergen which read as follows: eI would like to ask the City Council if
they would be willing to make a recommendation to the School Board of District
#834 that space be left between the school board property and the Fairview Cemetery
Association property to continue Orleans Street so as to give us access to 42 acres
of building sites immediately south and west of the school property. If Orleans
Street should reach the end of the cemetery property and starting with our property
we, of course, would be glad to contribute on a 50-50 basis so as to continue Or-
leans Street further west running up to Mr. Ritzer's property on the north side of
Orleans Street. If it were followed through east and west to the end of our pro-
perty,it would only be a few more blocks to put the road through all the way to
Greeley Street or hospital toed. For future planning you might want to consider
a road running through town east and west on Orleans Street. If school traffic
could come in on Greeley Street through, Orleans instead of going around the hospi-
tal on Anderson Street a good deal of congestion could be eliminated in front of
where the new hospital will be. I have planned to start doing some home building
on this 42 acres next year provided City facilities will be obtainable by that
time and by having good access to the property will be more desirable for home
owners".
On motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by Councilman Charlsen, this matter was
referred to the Superintendent of Public Works with instructions to make arrange-
ments to meet with the school board in regard to this request and report to the
Council at a later date.
From the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Regional Office, Kansas City,
Missouri, addressed to Mayor Madsen which read a s follows:"We wish to :acknowledge
receipt of the signed Part B,"Supplement]Project Information^and supporting dom-
ments which complies with the conditions of the offerfer financial aid under the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Please note that in Assurance M of the Part
A of the Offer and Acceptance the City has agreed to have,prior to awarding of the
construction contract, all matters pertaining to site, easements, and rights -of
way clear. We would appreciate the position of your community in this situation,
particularly your relation with the contractor. In order to provide the required
assistance, we suggest the following procedure if you so desire. The City of.
Stillwater may wish to award the contract and then work toward clearing up all
questions concerning easements and rights -of -way. While this office cannot make
a formal commitment of a Grant until the matter pertaining to easements and rights -
of -way is cleared, if this is done within sixty (60) days, or with further mututal-
ly agreed upon extension, if necessary, we can assure you that such a grant will
be available to the City of Stillwater upon receipt of documentation that ease-
ments and. rights -of -way are clear so that the City can successfully complete
its project without interruption. Even though this .office cannot make le formal
commitment of a Grant at this time, verbal authorisation to award a construction
contract to the low bidders was given on October 16,1959. The tabulation of bids
indicates the low bidders were the Acton ConstructionCompany and Barbarossa and
Sons, Inc., Upon award of contract three (3) certified copies of ead:.'contract :
should be sent to the Minnesota State Department of Health in. Minneapolis, Minne-
sota. The amount of the Federal Grant will be based on the actual eligible project
cost not to exceed the amount "of the original grant offer. Payments under the
Grant must be preceded by an inspection by the Public Health Service of the eem.
plated construction. However, inspections cannot be made until the matter pertain-
ing to site is cleared up. We hope to effect payment as necessary to provide max-
imum service to the community, end at the same time hold our inspection cost co a
reasonable minimum. We will, therefore, appreciate your requesting only a final
inspection and payment. However, if your financial situation requires It, we
will make a partial inspection and payment. Please notify us through the Minnesota
State Department of Health of the date on which construction starts and the date
it is compbted.e On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Simpson,
the Mayor and City Clerk were authorized and directed to sign contracts covering
construction of sewage treatment plant and lift stations Projects Nos. 1 and 3
and forward completed contracts to the Acton Construction Company.
