COMMUNICATIONS
From the St. Croix Barge Terminal Company which read as follows:
"Pursuant to the terms of the contract of September 22, 1958, below is an annual
1959 "On and Over the Dock Report" along with a check, No. 1453, in settlement
in amounts due for that year. Dock activities for the year 1959:

The total tonnage reflects a continued increase in tonnage on and over the dock
amounting to a 22% increase over the year 1958. The warehouse building is now
completed along with the installation of the ccnveyor system which allows the
continued flow: of material from barge to any point in the warehouse and out again
to a hopper for loading of material into railroad cars or trucks. Piling has
been driven and other mechanical machinery has been installed to allow dockage
and movement of the barges for unloading. A continued effort is being made to
extend the dock by adding fill, cutting trees, and landscaping the southerly
portion of the grounds in order to provide dock storage along the whole area.
A11 of the above expenditures have been made in behalf of both of our interests
and I trust that it is quite evident that a goodly sum is being invested by the
Stillwater St. Croix Barge Terminal Ccmpany in order to promote and attract
river transportation to Stillwater."
On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, the letter
from the St. Croix Barge Terminal Company was ordered filed.

,o, From the Department of Health, Education and welfare, Regional Office, Kansas
City, Missouri, addressed to Mayor Madsen, which read as follows:
"We are in receipt of the City Attorney's opinions relative to site, easements,
and rights of way dated October 27, 1959 and December 28, 1959. Based upon his
assurances that the necessary easements have been obtained and that the City
owns the treatment plant site in fee simple with a clear title we are now in a
position to make a formal grant commitment to the City of Stillwater. 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."
Copy cf a letter written by Mayor Madsen to Mr. C. J. Freseman, Division dngi-
neer, Chicago Northwestern Railway Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, which read
as follows:
"Received your letter of January 11 in regard to the license or permit to cross
your right of way with the interceptor sewer. You stated that you would re-
quire an annual rental of 4100.00 and that you would be relieved of any assess-
ments in connection with the project. We are not very happy about your sugges-
tion of y100.00 a year rental because we feel that this is considerably out of
line but we would be willing to go along with a deal on the same basis that we
made with the Northern Pacific Railway for a considerably longer easement and
that was done as follows:
They gave us an easement for the sum of 4100.00 on the condition that we do not
charge them any assessments and that we pay for removing and relaying any tracks
wherever necessary.
This has already bean done and we sincerely hope that you will agree to the same
terms which would be very satisfactory to us. Anything that you can do to speed
this matter along will be greatly appreciated by us as the contractor is getting
to the point where he is going to need access to your property."
Mayor Madsen stated that he had received a telephone call from Mr. Freseman and
that the Railway Company has agreed to go along with the Mayor's suggestion.
From Mrs. George Stennes, b13 Nortn Third Street, complaining about doge congre-
gating around the schools, particularly in the mornings.
Mayor Madsen referred this matter to the Chief of Police.

spectfully request the Stillwater City Cowell to change the name of this street

The bids were tabulated by Mr. Burhandt and Mr. Miller of the Bannister Mngineer-
ing Company. Mr. Miller then informed the Co ,mail that the Peter Lametti Con-
struction Company was thelow bidder and recommended that the Council award a
contract for construction of sanitary sewers at this time to the Peter Lametti
Construction Company but he suggested that the council defer action on award-
ing a contract for construction of the sewage Dumping station because he felt
the unit bid by the Peter Lametti Construction Company should be checked before
making a recommendation to. the Council.
On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Simpson, the Peter
Lametti Construction Company bid for construction of sanitary sewers was accepted
and the Mayor end City Clerk were authorized and directed to enter into a con-
tract covering same. (See Resolution cn this action)
This was the day and time set for the hearing on the petition to vacate a por-
tion of Wiest Willard Street in the City of Stillwater, Minnesota.

"All that portion of Nest Willard Street lying immediately south of Block
Eleven (11) of 'Walter Nelson's Lakeview Addition."
There was no one present who objected to the vacation of said street. (See
Resolution)
The request from Stenseng and Fierke for a non -conforming building permit to
cover construction of a gasoline service station at Third and Churchill Streets
was again considered by the Council. The following Letters from Mr. Rodney,
consultant for the Local Planning Commission and from Charles Thompson, Secre-
tary of the Planning Commission, were read:
"Thomas H. Rodney, Community Planning and Design Associates, inc.
It is our recommendation that a permit to construct a non -conforming use on the
northwest corner of Third Street and Churchill Street be denied., we do not
believe that the granting of such a privilege is ccnsistant witn good zoning
practice. we feel compelled to note that the investigation we conducted into
this case indicates that the existing commercial activity around the intersec-
tion of Fourth Street and Churchill Street appears to be important as a neignbor-
hood center today, and will in all likelihood continue to be cae in the future.
Therefore, we believe that consideration be given to the possible expansion
and modernization of the center. A concrete recommendation of the center cannot
— be given until a comprenensive planning program is undertaken and an opportun-
ity nas been nan to fully review the zoning ordinance in relation to proposed
land use distributions."
•
•
"C. J. Thompson, Secretary of the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission took action to recommend to the Council that the request
for non -conforming use of property by Stenseng and Fierke on the northwest corner
Third and Churchill be denied. Similar action was taken on the non -conforming
use of property on the northeast corner of Pine and Martha Streets.(Nester Bar-
vieux) for a multiple dwelling. Both recommendations were in concurrence with
the recommendations of the community planning and design associates who are the
City Planning Consultants."
On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, it was decided
to follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission andedand enyatheareny the qionuestf a
t
from Stenseng and Fierke for a non -conforming permit
gasoline filling station at Third and Churchill Streets.
Mayor Madsen reported that he did meet witn the Board of .water Commissioners
and that said board has agreed to use the same engineering firm employed by the
City. The Mayor stated that this method would avoid duplication in engineering.

COMMUNICATIONS
From Thomas C. Campbell, Superintendent of school District i1o. S34, which read
in part as follows:
"The Loord of Education will agree to the extension of Orleans Street and will
dedicate the property along their south boundary for this purpose. However, the
hoard has made its plans relative to the access to and from the new Senior High
School and relative to parking with the thought that Orleans Street would not be
cut through. Consequently they have little use for nor see any direct value to the
school eminating from the developed street. The board takes the posy ion that the
cost of the property to be dedicated for the right cf way is such that they would
not feel that they would or eculd undertake to pay the cost cf development of the
street."

From Thomas C. Campbell, duperintendent of School District No. 834, which read
as follows:
"The question cf the extension of Orleans Street along the south line of the
new District 834 Senior High School sight threatens to delay progress at the job.
At the present time our plans are drawn to have Northern States Power install
the poles and the line along the existing property boundary. We must make a
decision on any change within the next two weeks. The board has indicated its
desire to cooperate if assurances can be gained that the school district will
not be expected to defray the cost of building, and, or, maintaining the road.
It is unfortunate that the matter of extending Orleans Street was so late in
being called to our attention. Our planning bcth in placement of the building
and in gaining access to the building v:ere premised on the non-existance, now,
or in the future, of a road at that location. ?e don't foresee a need or a
desire for the road from the standpoint of the school itself. fie are construct-
ing roads into the building from existing city streets. We cannot alter our
plans for use of the various areas of the sight now. The loss of property from
the south length of the sight could cause serious crowding of plans to develop
the sight for physical education and athletic purposes. These are some of the
reasons why the school board is reluctant too pprove the property transfer un-
less they know how the street will be financed. Other street development in tie
general area of the high school would appear to be more immediately pressing
es far as traffic to, from, and around the area concerned. Marsh Street, par-
ticularly, is urgent from that standpoint. Can we be apprised of the position
of the City in the above matter very soon."
From James L. Douville, City Attorney, which read in part, as follows:
"You requested that a prepare a resolution changing the name of balsam Street to
River Heights Drive. I have carefully examined the city charter for applicable
provisions and have been unable to find anything specifically relating to the
subject. Accordingly, in the absence of a charter provision it is m�yy opinion
that the authority and procedure as set forth in M.S.A. 440.11 and i40.12
is controlling and that in order to change the name of or rename a street an
ordinance is required."
From the League of Minnesota Municipalities announcing dates of Municipal short
courses at the University of Minnesota Center for Continuation.
From the Minnesota Rail Fans Association, Inc., requesting that the Council
authorize an expenditure to e•ect a steel fence around the steam locomotive

NEW BUSINESS
Mr. John nheinberger appeared before the Council representing the Chamber of
Commerce and requested that the Council take necessary action to provide park-
ing facilities in the business district. He stated that the Legislature passed
an Enabling Act in 1953 which provides that the City Council has the authority
to acquire by purchase or lease facilities to park automobiles and that revenue
derived from parking facilities can be set aside for the purpose of paying for
said facilities. He suggested that the Council engage the services of Mr. Hodne,
who is the consultant for the Local Planning Commission to make an immediate
survey of the business district and report his findings to the Council, and
when the report 1s received by the Council, necessary legislation should be
enacted to provide additional parking facilities.

Commerce, stated that Mr. Hodne could probably complete the survey in about
eight weeks and that the cost of the survey would be between 41,850.00 and

license was granted to Paul Liberty (Liberty's Service Station) 1607 W.Olive

COMMUNICATIONS
Letters from the following, objecting to the proposed South Fourth Street im-
provement between Churchill and Willard Streets were read.
1. Mrs.Ethel A.Gower, 704 South Fourth Street
2. Miss Lenor A. Iserman, 719 South Fourth Street
From Mrs. Julius Neuman, 1672 East Seventh Street, St. Paul, Minnesota, ob-
jecting to the proposed South Fourth Street improvement.
From the Minnesota Nailfana Association, Inc., which read as follows:
"Our Club has been approached by a Cititens' Committee inquiring about the
possibilities of securing a serviceable steam locomotive to be moved to the
City of Wiasted, Minnesota, for display purposes. Retired steam locomotives
are no longer available from a railroad, so there was some talk of viewing the
engine on display in your park with the thought being that they might be able
to secure this engine for their town. I am sure that you will be approached by
these people on this matter in the near future and perhaps this should be given
some forethought in conjunction with my letter to you dated February 25, 1960."
Mayor Madsen stated that a committee from the City of Winsted called on him in
regard to this matter and he informed them that the Council has requested an
estimate of cost to erect a fence around the old locomotive to comply with a re-
quest from the Minnesota Railfans, Inc., and should the Council members decide
that the cost of displaying the old locomotive runs too high, he would let the
committee members know in the near future.
The Superintendent of Public Works informed the councilmembers that it would
coat approximately $1,000.00 to erect a fence around the old locomotive on dis-
play in Lowell Park.
From the League of Minnesota Municipalities in regard to North Central Highway
Conference to be held on March 29, 1960 at the Leamington Hotel in Minneapolis.
in part
From the city attorney which read/as follows: "At the last meeting of the coun-
ell, there was some question relative to the request of the Stillwater Armory
Hoard for an appropriation of $500.00 in connection with maintenance of the arm-
ory for the year 1959. After checking applicable statutes it is my opinion this
request 1s made under and pursuant to M. 3. A. 193.35 which authorizes the State
to pay annually to the Armory Board for maintenance and equiping each armory,
the sum of $250.00 for each company or other unit quartered there. The fore-
going payment, however, is conditioned upon the appropriation of at least an
equal amount by the municipality in which the armory is located. Accordingly,
the appropriation requested is not mandatory but is a necessary prerequisite
to acquistion of a like amount by the Armory Board of the State of Minnesota."
From the State of Minnesota, Municipal Commission, which read as follows:
"This will acknowledge receipt of ordinance #370 from the City of Stillwater.
This ordinance was hear.' at the March 10th meeting of the Commission and accepted
for filing on that date."

inch C.I.P. together with appurtenances.

(Item No. 1, Pine Street Water Main. Item No. 2, Fourth Street Water Main.
Item No. 3, Fourth Street Storm Sewer. Item No. 4, Fourth Street Grading and
Surfacing)
The City Clerk informed the Council that the advertisement for bids on the Pine
Street water main as published in the Construction Bulletin set the time for
opening bids at 2:30 P.M. on April 19, 1960 but through a typographical error
the notice published in the official paper of the City, namely the Stillwater
Evening Gazette, set the time for opening bids at 7:30 P.M., April 19, 1960.
The City Attorney advised the Council tc open bids on the Pine Street water main
at 7:30 P.M., April 19, 1960, because he felt that the Council would be bound
by the notice as published in the official paper of the City. On motion of
Councilman Jewell, seconded by Councilman Tennant, it was decided to defer the
opening of the Pine Street water main bids to 7:30 P.M., April 19, 1960.

Special Adjourned Meeting
The meeting was called to order by President Madsen.
Present: Councilman Charlsen, Jewell, Simpson, Tennant and President aadsen.
Absent: None.
Mayor Madsen stated that upon recommendation of Mr. Banister of the Banister
Engineering Company, the meeting held on April 19, 1960 at 7:30 P.M. was ad-
journed to this evening for the purpose of considering the bids which were
opened and read on April 19, 1960 at 2:30 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. covering the
following projects:
(Bids tabulated by the Banister Engineering Company)
1. South Fourth Street grading and surfacing.
2. South Fourth Street storm sewer.
3. South Fourth Street water main.
--� 4. West Pine Street water main extension.
Mr. Banister stated that a representative from the Jay W. Craig Company of
Minneapolis, one of the bidders on Fourth Street grading and surfacing, had
informed him that the company was not in a position to enter into a contract
with the City at this time because the Craig Company has entered into contracts
with other municipalities since the bids on the South Fourth Street project
were opened on April 19, 1360 and that the work load is such that any addition-
al projects would have to be sublet.
rTa
azIla
Mr. Banister suggested that the Council award a contract to the Solberg Con-
struction Company covering the Fourth Street grading and surfacing. He also
suggested that the Council award a contract to the Houliston Contracting
Company, Inc. covering the Fourth Street storm sewer. Mr. Banister explained
that the low bidder on the Fourth Street water main project, namely the Houlis-
ton Contracting Company, did not list their base bid and therefore he recommended
that a contract be awarded to the Moelter Construction Company covering the said
Fourth Street water main. Mr. Banister stated that the low bid on the Pine
Street water main submitted by the Walbon Excavating Company, was not signed
but the bond of 10% of the amount of t:e bid was properly signed and in order.
He recommended the acceptance of the Walbon bid. Mr. Douville, city attorney,
stated that in his opinion, the unsigned bid was an irregularity and the accep-
tance of the Walbon bid could possibly result in mitigation. He cited the Iowa
case which in his opinion is similar to the case at hand and explained that the
Court ruled that a bid bond properly executed does not cure a defect in the bid.
Mr. Banister statedthatin spite of the defect in the (unsigned) Walbon bid,
his recommendation still stands and recommended the awarding of a contract to
the Walbon Excavating Company covering construction of the West Pine Street
water main extension.

"'We have been informed by the Municipal Engineers Screening Committee that a
new Municipal State Aid System Needs Study based on IBM 650 Computer operations
must be made. This Needs Study must be finished by May 1, 1960 and submitted
to the district engineer. We are completely familiar with this process and
can have this work completed by that time if aut prized to do so. We would like
to call your attention that on page 13 of the City Engineer's Manual actual
traffic counts will be required for the entire Municipal State Aid Street Sys-
tem. These traffic counts should be taken at the four different seasons of the
year and on all streets so that the heaviest traffic count can be used. We
would recommend that the City of Stillwater acquire a traffic counter which is
capable of counting and recording traffic counts by the hour for a period of
one week at a time. This traffic counter will provide flow informations which
must be applied in the 1962 study. All communities must have this traffic flow
information by that time."

fore I must repeat that the Railway Company is willing to issue a five year
lease on the basis outlined in my letter of March 24. I agree that to date
our negotiations on most matters have been agreeable and that the cooperation

Mr. Smith, one of the heirs in connection with property located at 1003 South
Third Street appeared before the Council and inquired if any action has been
taken residencehat 1003nce to South Thirdst from Street.�y�rThelCityist to Clerk then lish an read office read thefollowi g
letter from Mr. Thomas H. Hodne who is the planning consultant for the local
Planning Commission:
"It is our recommendations that a permit to construct or use existing facili-
ties for a non -conforming use along Third Street be denied. We do not believe
that the granting of such a privilege is consistent with good zoning practice.
A sound planning principle to follow is that commercial use of land should be
encouraged to locate in orderly clusters rather than in a Strip fashion. As
alternates a facility as proposed could be located in the Churchill and Fourth
Street area or encouraged to locate in downtown Stillwater. Our building space
survey shows that there is ample vacant office space in the central area."
Mr. Stennes, Chairman of the Local Planning Commission, appeared before the
Council and presented a Phase One report on planning activities during the
past year by said Commission and recommended the acceptance of said report
by the Council. 0n motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman
Simpson, the report as presented by Mr. Stennes was accepted and the Planning
Commission was commended for the splendid manner in which it carried out its
assigned duties. Mr. Stennes then explained that it would cost the City a-
bout $7,100.00 to complete Phase 2 on the overall planning. Phase 2 would
be a detailed report covering each block in the City.

"We would like to inform you that the water main improvement project on Fourth
Street South is progressing reasonably well except for one condition. Our
soil borings indicated that there was ledge rock reasonably close to the surface
of Fourth Street south of Churchill. The borings taken in January were e0.
located that they missed a good share of the rock ledge. Because of this con-
dition the 140 cubic yards of rock excavation set up for the project will be
overrun somewhat: At present there has been 160 cubic yards of rock excavated
to date and the quantity may go as high as 200 cubic yards or thereabouts.
The bid price of ;18.00 a cubic yard for rock excavation is a good bid. Be-
cause of this we have ordered the contractor to proceed with the project as
called for in the plans and specifications. We would like to inform you at this
time that there will be a slight overrun in the cost of the project which may
amount to somewhat more than 1,000.00. Our recommendation is that this pro-
ject be continued as planned. On motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by
Councilman Charlsen, the action taken by the Banister Engineering Company, as
outlined in the letter was approved.

The Clerk reported that the Public Examiners are now auditing and examining the
City's books and records covering the year 1959 and suggested that the audit
be extended to cover the period from January 1, 1960 thru Jun, 3J, 1960. On
motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by Co-ncilmen Jewell, it was decided to
extend the audit period and include the first six months of 1960.
Mr. Jerry Miller from the banister Engineering Company, now acting as resident
engineer for the City on all projects for which plans and specifications were
prepared by the Banister Engineering Company appeared before the Council and
gave a detailed progress report.
Mr. Edward Simonet appeared before the Council and stated that in his opinion
all Electric poles should be removed from South Fourth Street between Willard
and Orleans St"eets. He felt that every effort should be made to do a com-
plete and thorough job end that the electric poles would jut into the sidewalk
and spoil the general appearance of the project when completed.

Absent: Councilman Tennant.
Also Present: Mr. Reg Kilty of the Kilty Fuel Co., Mr..Lawrence Linner of
the Linner Fuel Company, Mr. Jerry Wallace, Northern States Power Com-
pany, Mr. Arno Schwantes, Schwantes Heating Company and Mr. Robert Langness,
Stenseng & Fierke 011 Company.
The matter of converting the present heating system from coal to gas or oil
was discussed. Councilman Charlsen stated that in his opinion the stoker is
not being properly taken care of by the firemen resulting in breakdowns and
interrupted heating. He also felt if the conversion is made from coal to gas
the City should apply for interruptable service because the rate is much lower
than regular service.
Mr. Schwantes of the Schwantes Heating Company inibnsei the Council members
that it will require 1,496,000 British Thermo Units to properly heat the Fire
Station, street garage and city hall and that the present boiler is rated at
1,800,000 British Thermo Units which in his opinion is ample capacity. He
suggested that a burner with a capacity of 2,225,000 Eritish0TThermo
eo onUnits a
nits
be installed. He estimated that it wculd cost about 04,5
combination
ngas d lburner owllon oil tanks. This cost
would alsoinclude theremoval ofthe present stoker.
Mr. Reg Kilty stated that the cost of the combination burner world be equivalent
to a four year supply of coal.
Mr. Jerry Wallace of the Northern States Power Company stated that gas rates
are fixed for a period of one year.
Councilman Charlsen suggested that the Council defer action on this matter

Mayor Madsen stated that Mr. Edward Simonet who resides on South Fourth Street
stopped at his office and insisted that the Council take whatever action is
necessary to move the present wooden electric poles from Fourth Street to back
yards. Mr. Simonet has contacted the Northern States Power Company officials
in St. Paul in regard to this matter and they informed him that the company is
willing to move the poles as suggested but it will cost each property owner
about 0110.00 to move the present service from t he front of each house to a
location in the rear. The Mayor stated that this matter has delayed work on
the Fourth Street improvement and that Mr. Simonet has requested additional
time, no later than Wednesday, July 20th, to again contact the Northern States
Power Company officials about paying the costs of moving the service as outlined
above.

The matter of converting the present heating system from coal to oil or gas
was again discussed. Mr. Thompson, the Building Inspector, stated that it would
be possible to install one gas meter which would measure the gas consumption
used at the Fire Station, City hall, Water Department Building and the Library,
but the City would be required to pay the cost of laying a gas main from the
Fire Station to the Water Department and Library. Mr. Thompson felt that
should the Council decide to convert to natural gas it would be advisable to
use one meter for City buildings because we could then take advantage of the
interruptable gas rate which is considerably lower than the firm rate. Mr.
Thompson reported that he has made a complete inspection of the heating plant
at the Library and would not recommend installing a gas burner in the present
boiler. Mr. Thompson estimated that it would cost about $700.00 to purchase a
new gas burner to replace the present stoker at the Fire Station and about
$700.00 to install the gas burner, total cost for conversion, about $1400.00
and estimated cost to replace present stoker with a rebuilt commercial type
stoker, about 4600.00. Mrs. Flotten, Humphrey and Lavine, Library Board members,
appeared before the Council and Mrs. Flotten spoke forthegroup and stated that
the Library budget would not permit an expenditure of 43,000.00 for a new
heating plant. She also invited the Council members to attend a meeting at
the Library and consider a proposed improvement which would add considerable
space for book racks. On motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by Councilman
Jewell, it was decided to convert the present heating plant at the Fire Station
from coal to natural gas and purchase a new gas burner at a cost of about
$739.30. (Councilman Charlsen voted no on the motion).
Mr. Mosby, representing the Lystad's Exterminators, appeared before the Coun-
cil by invitation in regard to City wide rat control. (See Resolution).
The Supt. of Public Works reported as follows:
1. Estimated cost of watermain in North Cwens Street
Total cost, $7,674.40
Total assessable frontage, 1,750 feet

From Arthur O. Hallgrain, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith of Minneapolis,
addressed to Roland E. Ehlinger, Supt. of Public Works, whioh read as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith of Stillwater have called upon me with reference to
your letter of August 18 and enclosed plat covering your proposed sewer to be run
on South Sixth Street and across their Lot 2, Marsh's Addition. At the time the
storm sewer was installed across their Lot 2 in 1952 the Smith's paid the City of
Stillwater the sum of 3115.00 on July 26, 1952, and in addition to this paid
1102.00 labor to a Mr. Wilson for a total expenditure of 4217.00. In talking
to you recently the Smith's understood that the new sewer would be put in at the
expense of the School Board whereas your letter shows an intention of 38.32 per
foot on their 50 foot Lot 22 which assessment would be in the amount of 1416.00.
As in the past this Lot 22 does not appear to be saleable. The sewer in front
of Lot 22 would be of no particular benefit to them. The Smith's are willing to
make the following proposition to you. They would grant a 10 foot easement for
construction and a permanent easement of five feet for maintenance across the
north end of their Lot 2 and waive the payment of 1120.00 which they do not consi-
der sufficient in consideration for no assessment to them for the sewer in front
of Lot 22, thus they would be contributing 3217.00, previous expense paid,
1120.00 for the easement or a total of 4337.00 which should be sufficient to
pay their portion of the sewer in front of Lot 22 which is of no immediate bene-
fit to them, and the sewer connection they have for Lot 2 is direct from Fifth
Street. They would, however, wish to have the catch basin at the rear of the
present storm drain and reconstructed remain to take care of surface water. The
payment of 1120.00 for a permanent easement is not sufficient and taking this
into consideration it would seem that they should not be put to any further
expense and that they shculd not be put to any further expense and that they

posed sewer extension. Hearing no objections, he then closed the public hearing.

Lweo
Mayor Madsen announced that this is the day and time set for the hearing on pro-
posed assessment covering sewer improvement # 1-1959. The City Clerk then read
the offictsl notice pertaining to the hearing in connection with assessment roll
covering sewer improvement # 1-1959.
Mayor Madsen then inquired if the notice of tearing was duly published as re-
quired by state law. The City Clerk informed the Mayor and Councilmen that
said notice was duly published as required by state law and that a copy of said
notice was mailed to each owner or occupant of property to be assessed.
Mayor Madsen introduced Mr. Osman Springstead, the City's bond Consultant, and
Mr. Roger Short of the Banister Engineering Company, the project engineers.
The Mayor then inquired of the City Clerk if any written objections to the pro-
posed assessment had been received. The Clerk read the following letters:
1. From Mr. and Mrs. 0. R. Staloff, 916 West Anderson Street.
"We received notice through the mail of our City Council's intention to make fur-
ther improvements In the sewage system and as we understand it this cost is to
be spread to all property owners. We should like to register our objection to
this proposal. We are now paying sewage charge of $20.00 a year. Our taxes for
the year 1959 have also been substantially increased. Don't you think it 1s
time to curtail this constant increase in taxation of one kind or another. We
have taken this means to voice our objection knowing the Council Chambers has
limited room for attending such a meeting."
2. From James S. Mulvey, 306 West Elm Street.
"I feel the flat assessment of $100.00 and $300.00 is very unfair and unequit-
eble. There is simply no justification as far as I can see for taxing a tiny
home with a'value of $3000 to $4000 the same amount as one valued at 675,000.
It would appeartome that there might be some method of a comoination of a
small minimum charge plus some charge for valuation. As I plan to be out of town
during the time of this hearing, 1 am taking this means of expressing my disap-
proval of your present plans and hope that a better plan can be arranged."
Mayor Madsen and Mr. Springstead then explained the method of assessment in
detail. Mayor Madsen then inquired if there was anyone present who objected to
the proposed assessment. Following are comments and questions asked by some of
the 26 persons who attended the hearing:
1. Mr. Patrick White stated that in his opinion he should not be assessed on
a commercial basis because he does not have toilet facilities in connection with
hiHes
sdid admit bthat toilet facilities areuavailableginnthe ebasement of his ss from his residence. grocery place
of business.
2. Mrs. McDermott who resides at 924 South Fourth Street, stated that she lives
alone and felt that she should not be required to pay a $100.00 sewer assessment.
3. Mr. George Earker, 1312 South Fourth Street, inquired why it 1s necessary
to collect sewer rental charges before the sewage plant is in operation. Mayor
Madsen informed him that it was necessary to accumulate money in this fund

tion of work. Mayor Madsen informed Mr. Kuts that the Board of Water Commiss-

COMMUNICATIONS
From General Services Administration, Area Manager, informing the Council that
Congress of the United States makes no appropriation from which special assess-
ments to municipalities may be paid.
From the Board of Water Commissioners, which read as follows:
"At the last regular meeting of the Board of 'Water Commissioners which was held
on September 8, 1960, it was brought to the attention of the Board that a pet-
ition had been received by the City Council signed by property owners on West
Ramey Street betwen Gre and ands
son West MyrtleeStreet betweenrBrick and Groveick, on South rStreetsick ,�e askingen a that ey nwater
d tle,
main extensions be made in those streets, the total amcunt of main requested
being approximately 1,750 feet. Since the benefited property owners ask that
the above water main extension be installed on an assessment basis, the Board
of Water Commissioners approve such an installation providing that it is instal-
ledaccording to State Board of Health, State Fire Underwriters, and A.W.W.A.
specification". The Board further asks that the Council finance and assess
said water main extension." On motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by
Councilman Charlsen, it was decided to refer this matter back to the Board of
Water Commissioners for further action.
From the Banister Engineering Company, which read as follows:
"The granite curbing on Hancock Street approaching Fourth Street from the east
is 6 inches north of the g'oper location in the street right of way. Therefore
after notifying Mr. Ehlinger and Mr. L. B. Brower,we have the contractor
place his curbing to meet the existing conditions. On the west side of Fourth
Street at Hancock the curbing was placed in correct location. The possibil-
ity of replacing all of the sidewalk on the Fourth Street project has been
discussed. I talked to the sidewalk contractor about this and he said that the
prices were satisfactory with him on all items except sidewalk removal. His
price of $.50 per square yard on this would have to be increased to $.75 per
square yard. On the approximate 2000 lineal feet that would have to be replaced

would offset this small savings."

Department in the City of Stillwater and transferred to the City Street Depart-
ment. At the time of his removal from the mire Department, Mr. Bonse held the
rank of Lieutenant. As you know, Mr. Bonze is an honorable discharged veteran
of World War II and as such enjoys certain legal protections so far as his

notice upon stated charges in writing.

It is my understanding that Mr. bonse was removed from his position without a
hearing and without the filing of formal charges against him. Such action under
the law constitutes a breach of the City's legal duty toward him as an honor-
ably discharged veteran. As to the suspension order issued against him by
Mr. John Lawson, the fire chief of the Stillwater Fire Department, dated Dec-
ember 11, 1959,-1 do notbelieve it has any legal effeet sine it was issued
before the filing of formal charges and is neither limited as to the time now
upon the happening of any event. Because of Mr. lonse's illegal removal he
hereby makes demand as follows:
1. That he be forthwith reinstated to his former rank as Lieutenant in the
Stillwater Fire Department.
2. That he be forthwith reimbursed for the difference in wages he has earned
to date in his present work since the time of his discharge and the amount he
would have received as a Lieutenant in the Stillwater byre Department had he
not been removed.
3. That earned sick leave for seven days in December, 1959, 31 days in January,
1960 end 7 days in February, 1960, amounting to $254.00 payable from the Fire-
men's Relief Association be paid to him without undue delay. In the event of
the City's failure to comply with these demands within 10 days from the date
hereof it will be necessary that legal proceedings be commenced t.o accomplish
these objectives." On motion of Councilman Tennant, seconded by Councilman
Jewell, this matter was referred to the City Attorney, Councilman Simpson
voted no on the motion.
From R. D. Hagen, Vice Chairman, Local Planning Commission, which read as fol-
lows:
"Regard payments due Community Planning and Design Association, Inc. At our
planning and zoning commission meeting today, we recommended the June and July
payments of $500.00 each be paid to Community Planning and Design Assimilation,
Inc. We recommend that the bill of $60.00 forextratechnical assistance on
Hooley Super Market be denied in as much as much as we do not recall author-
izing this expense. If we are wrong we can be corrected and will discuss it
at our next meeting. Regard confirmation of Community Planning and Design
Association, as consultants for Phase 2 and 3, we further recommend that this
firm be engaged to carry out Phase 2 and 3 as stipulated in their proposal to
us subject of course, to any conditions you wish to include in a contract.
Regard Caton Felix Grocery request for addition, our commission moved to table
this request until our next meeting so that a subcommittee of three ofour
members can investigate the request and feeling of adjoining property owners.
Regard Skramstad request for non conforming use of new home in residential area
to include a beauty parlor. In this matter our Commission recommends denial
of the request on the grounds that non conforming permits must be denied. It
is the Commission's feeling that many of our present non conforming problems
started out this way and that some of the property subsequently changed hands
with the new owners enlarging the use to such a point that it is now objection-
able. We feel that the Skramstad's would not abuse the use but who could
say what subsequent orders might do."
On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, it was decided
to accept the Parking Survey Report in principle as prepared by the Community
Planning and Design Associates, Inc.
From E. D. Hagen, Vice Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, which
read as follows:
"In accordance with your wishes, when we recommend a new committee our Planning
Commission has visited with the following three citizens as prospective mem-
bers of the newParkingCommittee or Authority: Mr. Pert 0. Lund, Mr. John
Rheinberger, Mr. Edward W. Frye. This information is sent you so that should
the City Council agree with our recommendation regarding the parking study,
such a committee or authority might be appointed promptly and the fine work
of the Chamber of Commerce Parking Committee and Mr. Tom Hodne's firm might con-
tinue without delay." Mayor Madsen then appointed Mr. Pert 0. Lund, Mr. John
Rheinberger, and Mr. Edward Frye as members of the new parking committee or
authority and on motion of Councilman Simpson, seconded by Councilman Jewell,
the appointments were confirmed. Councilmen Tennant voted no on the motion.

Fed-
eral excise tax applicable to the above equipment will be waived upon receipt of
an executed tax exempt certificate. Your particular attention is called to
the trade in allowance quoted above. In the event that the Charter Amendment
being presented to your electors In November is passed the typewriter account-
ing machine will do the water billing in addition to the sewer and sewer ass-
essment billing. The need therefore for a separate machine for water billing
will be eliminated. You may desire to place your order at this time so that
installation plans may be made for January, 1961. As this is prior to learn-
ing the outcome of the voting on the Charter Amendment you have the option of
trading in the water department billing machine at any time up to ninety days
after the new machine has been delivered for the trade in allowance shown.
To do this it will only be necessary for you to advise the Burroughs Corpora-
tion by letter of your desire to trade in the present machine and a credit
memo will be issued for the allowance. The proposed system requires that the
machine be programmed to perform the following accounting operations:

"It is my understanding you recently made inquiry as to whether or not Civil

Defense workers wherein they are ussignea to code 9410, Municipal, County, State
Employees, etc. Each such Civil Defense employee shall be subject to a minimum
hourly wage of $1.00 and a minimum annual wage of $100.00 for premium computa-
tion purposes. You will note Jim, this hes reference to Civil Defense employees
and thereby would pertain tc those workers who are on active duty. If, for
example, you should volunteer for first aid •work and would merely hold meetings
to learn how to do first aid and were injured, that would be another situation.
Under that situation it would be our opinion that they would not be considered
as defense workers on active duty. We trust this properly takes care of the
situation and meets with your approval."
UNFINISHED BUSINESS

between Moelter Construction Company and the City covering construction of sewers

sewer will cross the Fred Johnston property, was discussed. The City Attorney
stated that Mr. Johnston felt the City should waive the assessment in connection
with construction of the sewer and also the regular sewer assessment or connec-
tion fee of $100.00. Mayor Madsen suggested that the City Attorney inform Mr.
Johnston that the City will waive the construction assessment amounting to
about $917.90, but cannot waive the connection fee of $100.00.

Perking Commission. As you knew, we recently recommended this new three man
commission so that no time would be wasted in considering our acute parking prot-
lem. ae do net believe that we suggested any one of the tnree men to be chair-
man of the Perking Commission. To our knowledge there still is no chairman.
Consequently to pin down the responsibility of this commission we aauld 11ke
to recommend Mr. Edward Frye be appointed chairman and be so informed.
Miscellaneous. ae had consideratle discussion about cold, hard, flat denials.
it is our group's thought that when wo find it necessary to recommend a turn-
down of a request, we at the same time endeavor to De helpful in suggesting
other areas where such a land use may be permitted. While we make none in
regard to the first two paragraphs above we feel there are areas where both
would be permitted and where both would serve themselves and our citizens
in a better manner to our community."

UNFINIS}EDD BUSINESS
This was the day and time set to open bids on official advertising for the year
1961. Only one bid was received ana that was the bid from the Stillwater Even-
ing Gazette which read as follows:
"In accordance with your request for a bid on publication of legals for the City
of Stillwater for the year ending December 31, 1961, that all such notices be
set in six point type, spacing to be in a workmanlike manner, legal rates to be
charged as set by the Minnesota Legislature, *1.50 per folio for the first in-
sertion and 6.75 per folio for each subsequent insertion. Verified invoices
shall be furnished."
On motion of Councilman Charlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, the Stillwater
Evening Gazette bid was accepted and the Mayor and City Clerk were authorized
and directed to enter into a contract covering same.
The City Engineer presented specifications in connection with a pick up truck
for use at the sewage treatment plant. On motion of Councilman Jewell,seeonded
by Councilman Charlsen, the City Clerk was directed to advertise for bids on a
pickup truck, said bids to be returnable on December 12th at 4:30 P.M.
The City Attorney reported that he had contacted Mr. O. J. Skooglun with refer-
ence to an easement over and across property previously conveyed to the City
of Stillwater and he read a letter which he had received from Mr. Carl A. Palm,
attorney for Mr. Skooglun, which read as follows:
"I submit this letter pursuant to a recent telephone conversation relative there-
to. I have again discussed this matter with my client and it appears that this
time he is quite willing to relinquish the vested right he has in an easement
over and across property previously conveyed to the City of Stillwater for the
consideration of 3475.00 together with the easement over and across the 100
foot strip lying east of Mr. Skooglun's property which the City would appar-
ently grant to my client. My client understands that he is to have permissive
use of the present roadway now existing over and across the property of the
City which was conveyed by Mr. Skooglun recently. It appears that this is an
unfortunate situation in light of the various and sundry representations that
have been made. However, at this point it would be well to so determine and
+++ conclude this transaction. As I understand it you are willing to present
this proposal to the City Council for action and your continued cooperation
in the disposition of this matter is sincerely appreciated by the undersigned.
In the event you would desire any further information kindly advise."

Louis, Missouri.
From the State of Minnesota, Liquor Control Commissioner, which read in part
as follows:
"A survey of premises licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquor wherein there
is also located a bowling alley has been carried out by this department. The
results of this sure:y reveal the following licenses have not been issued in
conformity with the Minnesota Liquor ContrL' Act:
Pla-Mor Bar and Recreation, Donald F. Mosiman and Glenn L. Karloske, 317 South

On motion of Councilman Cnarlsen, seconded by Councilman Jewell, the letter
was ordered filed.
From James L. Douville, city attorney, in regard to petition dated October
19, 1960 for annexation to the City of certain territory which read as
follows: 60 for annexation to the City
"Enclosed is the petition dated Cctober 19, 1960
of certain territory described as follows: Lots 1 to 10 inclusive; 21-22-
25-26-27-40 and 41, Fairmeadows No. 1. It appears that said territory atuts
fromC the municipality onnits th aeasterly side. Consequently, nd west. However, a county oassuming ad ates it
said
territory is so conditioned as properly to be subjected to municipal govern-
ment it may be annexed without an order of a municipal commission, by Ordi-
nance upon petition of the majority of the owners in number after a hearing
held on thirty days posted notice. Such hearing would not be necessary,
however, if the petition is signed by all of the owners. My findings in the
instant case indicate that ownership of the property involved is divided
among 20 individuals: George A. Siegfried, Agnes L. Siegfried, hood Conver-
sion Company, Clarence A. ?olzin, Helen J. Polzin, 'Reiter V. Skyberg, Lor-
raine I. Skyberg, Wallace H. Frazier, Marion B. Frazier, Arthur H. Wienke,
Alturia M. Wienke, Dale M. Tulgren, Margaret M. Tulgren, Archie H. Parker,
Patricia Parker, Richard A. Gimmestad, Audrey L. Gimmestad, T. & L. inc.,
Paul J. Kopel and Kathleen Kopel. Of the foregoing you will note that only
seven have joined in the petition, a number inaufiicient to constitute a
majority. Also appearing in the petition are the signatures of John itoettger,
Lee C. Thomas ana Gerald F. .right. the record does not disclose the inter-
ests of' these latter three signatories to the petition. it is possible they
ars purchasers under unrecorded contracts for deed. Accordingly, it is my
opinion that the petition as presented does not meet all of the statutory
requisites add is aot therefore one upon which the Council is authorized
to act."

From James L. Douville, City Attorney, in regard to server improvement Ho.
1-1959 which read as rollows:
"Confirming our telephone conversation of this date it is my opinion that
under the terms oi' contracts entered into with Earbarosa and Sons, inc. and
Acton Construction Company which provide tnat the City will retain 15% of the
Amount of each monthly estimate certified by the engineer until final com-
pletion and acceptance of all work covered by such contracts, the City 1s
obligated to retain such percentage unless or until there is modification of
the contracts. It is my further cpinlon that the City will be unable to ac-
cept the work covered by the contracts until after the same has been finally
inspected and approved by the proper federal agency.
From James L. Denville, city attorney, in regard to liquor control commiss-
loner's letter with reference to on sale liquor license, Mosiman and Karloske:
"I have conferred with Mr. Glean L. Karloske concerning the subject matter of
the letter addressed to you December. 9, 1960 by Jack Puterbaugh, Liquor
Control Commissioner. Mr. Karloske informs me that the window between the
bar and bowling alleys nes been closed. While I nave not actually examined
the premises I am advised that a door from the street enters into a hallway
wherein separate doors provide access to the bowling alleys, the bar and the
recreation facilities on the second floor. if this arrangement is objection-
able under the Commissioner's regulation No. 4130, Section (E) to which
reference is made on Page 2 of said letter the licensees should be advised
to make appropriate structural changes. I nave also recommended to Mr. Kar-
loske that in order to avoid apparent licensing of the bowling alley as such
the liquor license should be applied for and issued in the name of Donald F.
Mcsiman and Glenn L. Karlooae, doing business as Pla-Mor Bar. Whether or
not the operators of the establishment in question have permitted any viola-
tions of provisions of Minnesota Statutes 617.60 is of course primarily a
police matter. No such violations with respect to these premises nave as
yet come to the attention of this office. 'Without more specific information
as to the Commissioner's objections I find it difficult to advise the Council
other than as aforesaid."
From the State of Minnesota, Department of Health, in regard to Sewage Treat-
ment Works which read as follows:
"We have received a letter from banister Engineering Company, St. Paul, stat-
ing that construction of the Municipal Sewage Treatment Works is completed and
that the City Council wishes a final payment of the federal grant. We are en-
closing three copies of a form requesting a final payment inspection and list-
ing certain documents required for review at the time the investigation is made.
Please complete and return two copies of this form to this office, and we will
request the necessary inspection from the Regional Office of the United States
Public Health Service at Kansas City, Missouri."
From Howard R. Albertson which read as follows:
"Enclosed herewith is my resignation as Civil Defense Director for the City
of Stillwater. Last April when Cliff Halsey asked if I would be his replace-
ment I accepted reluctantly knowing that the job would be time consuming with
much responsibility. There was at that time no thought of my being elected
State Representative from Washington County. While serving as Cliff's assis-
tant I learned that Stillwater Civil Defense is comparably superior to other
Minnesota Municipalities but woefully lack compared to the goals the State
and National Civil Defense officials have established. On July 25, 1960 when
I filed for the office of the State Representative there was no assurance of
my election to that office. Since election it appears that Article 4, Sec-
tion 9, of our State Constitution prohibits me from holding both offices.
While I would like to remain active in Civil Defense as a volunteer it already
has become apparent that time spent as a representative will take all of my
time for the next four months at least. After that the office will require
additional time serving on various commissions. Since election nalf of my
time has been devoted to 1ecoming acquainted with issues and being called on
by legislative representatives sometimes known as lobbyists. i am sorry
that I cannot recommend a replacement but Councilman Charisen has graciously
agreed to act in his capacity as deputy civil defense director. Also please
be advised that as a legislator I am going to he most interested in our State
Civil Defense Organization and further that I am going to have some rather
important questions to ask regarding it. You know that I am vitally interest-
ed in doing whatever I can to promote and aid the City of Stillwater and Wash-

From Mr. Thomas L. Ammerman, which reed as follows:
"This is to give you notice of faultsewer service at 1303 and 1309 South
Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota. Since I purchased the property at 13U3
Soutn Fe2rth Street in October, 1)58 tne serer main has plug.^ed and backed up
into my basement twice. I nad it corrected teen at my own expanse. I dis-
cussed this matter with Mr. F. 5. Lammers and Mrs. A. Shirley, former owners
of the premises concerned and T was i d'ormed that this has coatiaually occurred
throughout the .ears and can be expected to occur periodically again." Follow-
ing is a letter which v:as written by Ronald E. Enliager in reply to Mr. Ammer-
, man's letter which read as follows:
"In reply to your letter of December 9, 1960 concerning the problem of trouble
with your house service sewer connection. The street department acted on this
matter shortly after receipt of your letter. Using the sewer cleaning equip -
meat they cleaned from tee intersection at Third and .aarsh dtreets up to a
point where they struck an obstacle. They then came down Marsh Street from
the intersection of :Marsh and Fourth Streets to a point where they 'struck an
..� ctstacle. by measuring these distances they found that the stopping pciat was
approximately at the point where the house service connection from 1303 South
}Torte Street is connected to the main sewer. This seem to show that when the
service was connected for the house that an improper connection was made at
the main sewer. If this is the case it is not the responsibility of the City
to correct the situation. On December 21, 1960 to
eroctcheck
h kothe
hsanitary
sewer main the crew asked someone that is living at
to flusn the toilet twice. it was oiserved from this test that main sewer
was flowing freely with no olstructions. 1 wish to thank you for calling
this matter to our attention aad as stated in the foregoing paragraphs the
matter was checked. Please contact this office if you have further questions
concerning this matter."
From James L. Denville, city attorney, in regard to claims submitted by the
.Stillwater Ambulance Service which read as follows:
"I return to you without legal appreval the following claims:
Stillwater Ambulaace Service, uth 26,
Stillwater Ambulance Service, JA Julia Short, July 28,e1 1960,159, 5 00.
15.00i
Stillwater Ambulance Service, Bernard Johnson, August 17, 1960, $15.00.
There is to my knowledge no authority under the General Laws of the State or
the City Charter which permits the City to contract for private ambulance
service. It would seem that in each othe foregoing ng ctases
seclaimant te ightamake
e greater effort to recover from the persons
ed."

On motion of Councilman Charlsea, seconded by Councilman Jewell, from and
after January 1, 1361 all purchases of commodities of any nature and work per-
formed for the City shall be covered by a purchase order. Said purchase order
to be issued by the City Clerk upon request of City officials and department
heads, but in no event except by further order of the Council shall a pur-
chase order be issued if the amount of said purchase order exceeds the bal-
ance in the account or fund upon which the order is drawn. After careful
consideration the Council members felt it was necessary to take the foregoing
action for the following reasons:
1. A City of the fourth class in limited by law to a tax levy of 45 mills
against the assessed valuation for General Fund purposes. The Council has
levied the legal limit forthe year 1961.
2. In previous years a substantial balance was held in reserve for emergen-
cies but due to salary increases and other increased costs the estimated
balance as of December 31, 1960 was treated as income.
3. If the current expenses exceed the estimates upon which the tax levy is
based or that the revenue of the City is likely to fall short of the estimated
amount it is mandatory that the Council reduce current expenses of the City
in such manner as may be deemed advisable and may diminish the amount of ser-
vice for lignting streets, reduce force or number of persons employed in the
several departments of the City, or reduce salaries or compensation of all
officials and persons employed by the City.
RESOLUTIONS
The following resolutions were read and were on roll call unanimously adopted:
1. Directing the payment of bills.
2. Designating depositories of public funds.
