INTRODUCTION OF NEW COMMISSIONER
The Commission welcomed Commissioner Chris Lepage.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Possible approval of minutes of April 18, 2019 meeting
The minutes of the April 18, 2019 meeting were accepted with the correction of a spelling
error.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Summer Tuesdays
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that Summer Tuesdays has applied for a
2019 special event permit. The event would occur Tuesday evenings July 9 to August 20,
featuring live music and a movie in Lowell Park. Food vendors would set up in Lot 5;
merchandise vendors would be in the north half of the Water Street Inn parking lot.
Reserving the seven spaces in Lot 5 for the seven event dates would cost $73.50. Staff
recommends approval.
Corey Buettner said the organizers are excited about new retail vendors and the possibility of
farmer’s market produce being sold this year.
Motion by Commissioner Hopfe, seconded by Chairman Anderson, to approve the use of Lot 5
for Summer Tuesdays for seven event dates July to August 2019. All in favor, 5-0.
Lumberjack Days
Mr. Turnblad stated that The Locals submitted a special event permit application for
Lumberjack Days 2019, July 18-21. They are asking to reserve seven spaces in Lot 5, 19
spaces in Lot 8b, 30 spaces in Lot 9, 21 spaces in Mulberry Circle, and 15 spaces on Water
Street. This is the same arrangement as last year. The normal charge for these parking spaces
would be $2,052. In the past, the City Council has committed the parking spaces to The
Locals as a City contribution to the event. Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Anderson asked what happens if water is high or construction equipment is still
there?
Downtown Parking Commission Meeting May 16, 2019
Page 2 of 2
Mr. Turnblad replied because of the high water, construction progress on the Water Street
Inn addition has slowed down. Much of the construction equipment in the Water Street Inn
lot will have to be moved to accommodate this plan (it is the location for the beer tent). The
Locals should be asked what is Plan B when it gets to the Council level.
Officer Pasket asked about whether Sixth Street will be used for staging for the parade.
Mr. Turnblad responded that will be clarified before the application goes before the Council.
Motion by Commissioner McAllister, seconded by Commissioner Lepage, to approve the use of
seven spaces in Lot 5, 19 spaces in Lot 8b, 30 spaces in Lot 9, 21 spaces in Mulberry Circle, and
15 spaces on Water Street for Lumberjack Days 2019. All in favor, 5-0.
OTHER BUSINESS
Union Alley ADA Space
Mr. Turnblad stated that at the last DTPC meeting staff was asked to determine if the
handicapped parking space in Union Alley is crucial to remain compliant with ADA
standards. It has been determined that the 468 marked on-street parking spaces would need
nine handicapped parking spaces. The system currently has 19 on-street handicapped parking
spaces. So the handicapped space on Union Alley need not be replaced if all parking on the
east side of Union Alley is prohibited during the winter.
Officer Pasket suggested designating all parking on that side as three-hour parking, including
the handicapped space, and posting it no parking in the winter.
Commissioner Lettner said the 15-minute space should probably be included too.
Motion by Chairman Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Lepage, to remove the 15-minute
spot and the handicapped spot in Union Alley and turn them into three-hour spots. All in favor,
5-0.
Mr, Turnblad noted that the City Council is slated to adopt a resolution Tuesday prohibiting
parking on Union Alley Nov 1 - March 31.
UPDATES
Riverwalk and Shoreline Restoration Update
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that last year the City lobbied for State
bonding funds to stabilize and restore the St. Croix River shoreline. The City was awarded
$1.65 million which will likely be half the cost of the project. The project design is 30%
completed. A pedestrian trail (riverwalk) will be added, as well as three overlooks. The
riverwalk, right above the shoreline, will be for pedestrians; the existing trail will be for
bikes. The trail will run in front of the Dock Cafe. Most of the work in front of St. Croix Boat
& Packet will be done during the winter. It is being requested to use the east half of Lot 1 for
construction staging starting November 1. More information will be available at the next
Parking Commission meeting.
Film Crew
Commissioner Lettner said last Sunday a film crew blocked off Main Street near the Laura
Hotel, and took ten spaces downtown during the busiest weekend so far.
Officer Pasket said the crew called him a couple days ahead and paid the $180 fee to reserve
the spaces.
Downtown Parking Commission Meeting February 21, 2019
Page 3 of 3
Mr. Turnblad said all events are required to come to the DTPC but that does not include
filming permits. He feels the DTPC should be informed of any reservation that takes parking
spaces. It would take Council action to change this language.
Commissioner Lepage suggested the language be changed so any application that utilizes
parking spaces goes to the DTPC.
Commissioner Hopfe suggested this be discussed with the Council.
ADJOURNMENT
Chairman Anderson adjourned the meeting at 9:16 a.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Julie Kink, Recording Secretary

RE: Ragnar Relay
INTRO
As explained in the attached documents, the Ragnar Relay Minnesota is a long-distance running
relay starting in St. Paul and ending in Duluth, MN. The run organizers anticipate 400 teams to
participate in the race. Each team is comprised of 12 individuals and 2 vehicles (“Ultra” teams
have six participants and one vehicle). 4,700 participants are 200 spectators are expected in
Stillwater.
Teams take turns running relay style to complete the course, picking up a runner and dropping
off the next runner at each of the 36 exchange points along the course. There are two planned
exchange points in Stillwater. One at the Evangelical Church on Manning Avenue and the other
at Mulberry Circle in North Lowell Park. 60 to 80 cars are expected at the Evangelical Church
exchange point at peak hours. Downtown Stillwater would be a major exchange (with runner
support, services, etc.) So, the Mulberry Circle exchange could see 215 cars at the peak time,
which will be about noon. Runners are expected in Stillwater between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on
Friday, August 16th.
Since the Downtown exchange point would be a major exchange point, the organizers would like
to use a portion of South Lowell Park for staging relay services and support. Here they would
have bathrooms, an equipment truck, and a number of tents for other runner support. As part of
this staging area the organizers are requesting the reservation of 22 parking spaces for two days
in Municipal Parking Lot 2. The staging area would be set up on August 15th.
HOW DOES THE RELAY WORK?
Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles, with six runners in each vehicle.
The first vehicle will drop off the first runner at the start, and then proceed to the first exchange
point. At the first exchange, the vehicle will drop off the second runner and pick up the first
runner when that runner’s leg is complete. Teams will repeat this pattern for six legs until they
hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will continue all the way to the finish
line.
Ragnar Relay
Page 2
Ragnar will have an exchange manager present during the entire race and 10-15 volunteers.
Additionally, Ragnar staff will be present throughout the event to ensure everything is running
smoothly.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
Ragnar Relay is requesting permission to reserve the 22 spaces shown below in Lot 22 on
August 15th and 16th.
COMMENTS
Reserving spaces in Lot 2 on high-season weekends (Thurs – Sun) costs $15 per space, if
approved by the City Council. For the two days, the reservation fee would be $660.
COMMISSION ACTION
The Downtown Parking Commission should consider the request and formulate a
recommendation for the City Council’s consideration.

A. Special Event Information
The Ragnar Relay Minnesota is a long-distance running relay starting in St. Paul and
ending in Duluth, MN.
We anticipate 400 teams to participate in the race. Each team is comprised of 12
individuals and 2 vehicles (“Ultra” teams have six participants and one vehicle), therefore
we expect no more than 4,700 participants. Teams take turns running relay style to
complete the course, picking up a runner and dropping off the next runner at each of the
36 exchange points along the course.
Parking/Traffic Flow:
• Ragnar teams start in waves from the start line and are staggered from 5:00 am –
2:00 pm to spread participants along the course, allowing about an 11 hour time
frame to pass through communities.
• We expect less than 350 parking spots during our peak hours for Ragnar vehicles
at major exchanges. Throughout the majority of the race, you can expect only 60-
80 vehicles onsite.
• Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles, with six runners
in each vehicle. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner at the start, and
then proceed to the first exchange point. At the first exchange, the vehicle
will drop off the second runner and pick up the first runner when that
runner’s leg is complete. Teams will repeat this pattern for six legs until they
hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will continue all
the way to the finish line.
Race Personnel Onsite:
• Ragnar will have an exchange manager present during the entire race and 10-15
volunteers. Additionally, Ragnar staff will be present throughout the event to
ensure everything is running smoothly.
Sanitation and Garbage Disposal:
• Ragnar will provide portable toilets through United Site Services.
• Ragnar staff will manage all trash clean up. A trash dumpster will be provided to
collect team trash and will be removed after the event.
B. Organization Information
The event is sponsored and managed by Ragnar Events LLC. Ragnar Events
presented its first event, the Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back, in Utah in 2004. To date,
Ragnar has over 40 events worldwide and is the largest series of overnight relays in
the world. For more information, see www.runragnar.com

C. Safety, Emergencies and First Aid
Runner safety is of foremost concern. Before a team can begin the race, they must go
through a safety gear check and training at the start line. All runners sign waivers where
they acknowledge that the course includes areas where there may be traffic congestion
and that they must obey race rules, which require observance of all applicable traffic
rules and regulations.
Runners and community residents are able to notify Ragnar through the Ragnar Race
Command number, which will be published closer to race day, with any concerns of
problems along the course. Medical personnel is provided at each Major Exchange point,
or approximately every 25-35 miles of the course. If a runner encounters a first aid issue
at a minor exchange, they are directed to proceed to the closest major exchange to be
treated. In the event of an emergency, runners are directed to contact 911 and then notify
Ragnar staff.
D. Volunteers
Exchanges are staffed by a combination of team required volunteers and community
groups and charities. Groups and charities are given a donation for providing volunteers
to manage exchange logistics such as parking, exchange chute details, team tracking and
general runner directions. Volunteers are trained on site by a Ragnar staff member and
released by a staff member once the last runner has come through.
E. Community Impact
Communities directly benefit economically from money spent by participants for food,
lodging and other services. Additionally, Ragnar partners with regionally based charities
and groups for each event to encompass an even more positive impact on the local
communities.
These overnight relays benefit both participants and the communities where they
are presented. Participants have been unfailingly enthusiastic about their
experiences and there are always a wide variety of human interest stories
associated with these events. These range from the experienced runner finding
special meaning through participation in a running event as a member of a team, to
the first-time runner who participates at the urging of a friend and discovers
previously unknown abilities and a love for running; to families, businesses, old
friends and other groups who enhance their relationships as they individually and
collectively test their limits; to teams who simply run for a cause, whether in honor
of a deceased friend or relative, or to raise money for local charities or another
charity of special importance to the team.
F. Insurance
We are sanctioned under USA Track and Field. If you would like a Certificate of
Liability Insurance for $1 Million in coverage, we are happy to provide that upon request.
Please inform us what entity to have listed on that certificate.
