Questions?
1. Policy confirmation:Food vending trucks catering outside of downtown. The current policy is not to require a permit for mobile food vendors that are catering private gatherings outside of the downtown area. These food vending caterers can only park on private property, not on public streets, in public parking lots or on other public property. And, no sales can be made to the general public, only to the guests of the private gathering they are catering. Is the City Council supportive of this policy?Work SessionSeasonal food vending4 discussion points
2. Policy change:Food vending trucks catering downtown.The current policy is to require any food vending downtown to have a permit from the City. But, staff has received a number of requests to allow mobile food vendors to cater private events downtown without a permit. For example at the JX Event Center. If a downtown property owner hosts food trucks only several times a year (three or less?), would the City Council be in support of allowing the food trucks to park on private downtown property to cater private gatherings without first getting a seasonal food vending permit? If so, how many days per year before a permit is required?A. Food vending done in association with special events that have event permits from the City operate under the auspices of the event organizer and do not need a separate permit.
3. Policy confirmation:Food vending trucks catering in City parks.Is the City Council supportive of the current policy to allow mobile food vendors in city parks to cater private gatherings? As long as the following standards are met, staff has been allowing this type of catering without a permit.A. No sales to the public, only to the guests of the private gathering.B. Parking of food truck allowed in parking lots within park, or at Washington Square, in the parking area on the north side of the park.C. Larger gatherings and “public events” require an event permit and food vendors would then operate under the auspices of the event permit.D. This policy does not apply to Lowell Park and the parking lots abutting it. Since the Lowell Park is Downtown, a mobile food vendor can only operate there under the auspices of a special event permit approved by the City Council.
4. Ordinance amendment:Administrative issuance of seasonal food vending permits. Seasonal food vending permits are issued annually. New permit applications, and applications with substantial changes from previous years are required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. In the four years since the standards for these permits were adopted by ordinance, it has become clear that as long as the applicants meet all of the performance standards, the Planning Commission has always approved them without conditions. Therefore, staff believes it would be appropriate to revise the review process and make it administrative only. If all standards are met, then the permit would be issued administratively. If the Council supports this change, staff would draft an ordinance amendment and bring it back to the City Council.

Regarding Review of Tasks 2 and 3
Goal of the MIDS Evaluation
To evaluate how adopting MIDS in specific portions of the watershed will affect downstream
resources: specifically Long Lake, McKusick Lake and the St. Croix River. This memo builds off the
Task 1 memo by describing the steps taken to calculate the volume of stormwater runoff that would
need to be mitigated under MIDS and the BCWD rules (Task 2) and how much water quality
treatment would be provided by the application of each rule in this portion of the watershed (Task
3).
As the Task 1 memo articulates, there is significant variation in the application of the MIDS
Performance Goals and the BCWD rules in this portion of the watershed due to the following factors:
Application of the TSMP Agreement and the Kern Center Agreement;
Location of a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) classified as having high
vulnerability; and
Differences in how the cities of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights allow the use of stormwater
infiltration in the DWSMA (i.e. Stillwater prohibits the use of infiltration within the ERA and
allows it in the rest of the DWSMA while Oak Park Heights prohibits the use of infiltration in
the entire DWSMA).
At the end of this memorandum, EOR summarizes the overall findings of this evaluation.
Comparison of Volume Requirements
Task 2 of the MIDS Evaluation was to "calculate the volume of stormwater runoff that needs to be
retained under the BCWD rules and MIDS". Using the assessment of future development (specifically
Figure 9 of Task 1), EOR performed calculations to determine how much volume needs to be retained
on site for each development area (see Table 1) for MIDS and the BCWD rules. These calculations
were performed using the District's PCSWMM model which allows for event -based comparisons,
meaning that pre -development and post -development runoff volumes can be determined for the 24-
hour rainfall events prescribed by the rules. Since the MIDS Calculator generates results on an annual
basis, it could not be used for the comparison of volume requirements. A description of the main
parameters and assumptions used in the modeling analysis can be requested from the BCWD.
As Table 1 demonstrates, MIDS provides more volume control than the BCWD's rules (for the entire
drainage area to the Diversion Structure) due to all of the site restrictions and exemptions to the
BCWD rules that apply in this portion of the watershed. The total amount of stormwater runoff
retained using the MIDS Performance Goals is higher than that retained using the BCWD's rules:
15.45 acre-feet of runoff retained versus 11.57 acre-feet of runoff ( a difference of 3.9 acre-feet).

memo
2 of 10
Table 1 also shows the differences in volume retained within the Long Lake drainage area. Again the
total amount of stormwater runoff retained using the MIDS Performance Goals is higher than that
retained by the BCWD rules: 10.74 acre-feet of runoff retained versus 10.39 acre-feet of runoff ( a
difference of 0.35 acre-feet).
A couple of assumptions were made in this analysis that require explanation:
• The MIDS analysis assumes that a permit applicant can achieve 25% of the Full MIDS
Performance Goal (1.1") when Flexible Treatment Option 2 applies to the site. "Maximum
Extent Practicable" was assumed to be 1/4 of the Full MIDS requirement based upon a review
of recent permit applications approved in this portion of the watershed.
■ Where a development area is located in the ERA or DWSMA and we know NPDES and the
cities won't allow stormwater infiltration, we applied the full volume control requirement
whether it's the 2018 volume control standard or the difference between the 2018 and 2000
standards. Because the rules do not currently include off -ramps or flexible treatment options,
a permit applicant will be required to request a variance from the volume control standard if
alternative means of volume control (e.g. green roofs, tree trenches, stormwater reuse)
cannot achieve the full requirement.
While the City of Stillwater is comfortable with the use of stormwater infiltration in a DWSMA
classified as having high vulnerability, they have not performed the engineering review as required
by the NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit. Shawn Sanders, Stillwater Public Works
Director has indicated that the City would be interested in partnering on the development of this
engineering review.

Comparison of Water Quality Requirements
Task 3 of the MIDS Evaluation was to "compare how much water quality treatment is required for
MIDS and the BCWD rules". Again, information regarding site restrictions (summarized in the Task
lmemo) informs the level of water quality treatment provided by MIDS (the application of Full MIDS
results in higher water quality treatment than the Flexible Treatment Options). Since the BCWD's
water quality requirement is a stand-alone rule (independent of the volume control requirement), it
is not affected by site restrictions that preclude the use of infiltration or result in a lower volume
control requirement. Since the application of District's volume control requirement typically results
in meeting or exceeding the District's water quality requirement, this volume retention is also
evaluated as part of the water quality comparison.
In order to perform an apples -to -apples comparison of the level of treatment provided by both
standards, EOR used the MIDS Calculator, which allows for the comparison of annual total
phosphorous (TP) loads. Table 2 identifies the annual % TP removal and TP load removed for MIDS,
the BCWD volume control standard, and the BCWD water quality standard.
As Table 2 demonstrates, the water quality treatment provided by MIDS and the BCWD rules is
comparable in the drainage area to the Diversion Structure. The total amount of annual TP loads
retained using the MIDS Performance Goals is higher than that retained using the BCWD's rules:
348.6 lbs/yr TP retained versus 338.2 lbs/yr TP (a difference of 10.4 lbs/yr TP or 30). Where we see
a discrepancy in the level of treatment is when we compare the numbers for the Long Lake Drainage
Area. In this case the total amount of annual TP loads retained using the BCWD rules is 234,3 lbs/yr
versus 225.5 lbs/yr being retained by MIDS. This 8.8 lb/yr difference equates to a 40 difference in
treatment between the BCWD rules and MIDS.
If the BCWD Board of Managers approved any variances in the drainage are to Long Lake, the level of
treatment provided by the BCWD rules would decreasing, bringing the level of treatment more in line
with MIDS.

Conclusions
The results of this evaluation demonstrate that the application of MIDS in both the Long Lake
Drainage Area and the drainage area to the Diversion Structure is comparable (and in some cases
higher) to the level of treatment provided by the BCWD rules. As a result, the same level of protection
for downstream resources should be provided by MIDS.
This finding is based solely on the fact that there are numerous overlapping site restrictions and
agreements with the cities of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights, which limit the application of the
BCWD rules. If the District's 2018 volume control requirement could be applied to all development
areas, a higher level of water quality treatment would be provided. Therefore, the results of this
analysis cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the Brown's Creek watershed.

Regarding I Review of Task 1
Goal of the MIDS Evaluation
Revised
06/26/2019
To evaluate how adopting the Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) in specific portions of the
Brown's Creek watershed could affect downstream resources: specifically Long Lake, McKusick Lake
and the St. Croix River. This memo defines the evaluation area, determines where new
development/redevelopment is anticipated, and the likely applicable MIDS performance goal for
each anticipated development.
This evaluation was conducted for the following two drainage areas:
Long Lake Drainage Area - This area includes portions of the cities of Stillwater, Oak Park
Heights, Lake Elmo and Stillwater Township.
Drainage Area to the Diversion Structure - The drainage area to the Diversion Structure
encompasses the Long Lake Drainage Area as well as the area between Long lake and the
Diversion Structure east of Manning Avenie (County Road 15). This area also includes
portions of the cities of Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Lake Elmo and Stillwater Township. It
should be noted that this drainage area does not include drainage west of County Road 15 in
the City of Grant. Given that the request to consider MIDS for this portion of the watershed
was brought up by the more developed communities concerned with implications to
economic development along the Highway 36 corridor, the District limited the evaluation to
these communities. Grants' desire to maintain rural development patterns means that there
would likely be little to no development in this portion of the drainage area in the next 10 to
20 years. Additionally, the Trout Stream Mitigation Project (TSMP) Agreement Area does not
apply to the City of Grant so there are no factors affecting the application of the District's
rules.
Definitions
A quick definition or explanation of terms is provided to assist the reader with the terminology used
for this evaluation.
Hydrologic Soil Groups (HSG) - A classification system based on the soil's capacity to convey
and store water. HSG's are divided into four groups (USDA NRCS):
HSG A Well drained sands and gravel, high infiltration capacity, high leaching potential
and low runoff potential
HSG B Moderately drained fine to coarse -grained soils, moderate infiltration capacity,
moderate leaching potential and moderate runoff potential

memo
2 of 19
HSG C Fine grained, low infiltration capacity, low leaching potential and high runoff
potential
HSG D Clay soils, very low infiltration capacity, very low leaching potential and very high
runoff potential
Emergency Response Area (ERA) - The part of the wellhead protection area that is defined by
a one-year time of travel within the aquifer used by any given public water supply well
(Minnesota Rules, part 4720.5250, subpart 3). It is used to set priorities for managing potential
contamination sources within the DWSMA. This area is particularly relevant for assessing
impacts from potential sources of pathogen contamination because this time of travel is believed
to closely correspond with the survival period of many pathogens.
Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) - The surface and subsurface area
surrounding a public water supply well, including the wellhead protection area, that must be
managed by the entity identified in a wellhead protection plan. This area is delineated using
identifiable landmarks that reflect the scientifically calculated wellhead protection area
boundaries as closely as possible.
Karst - A terrain having distinctive landforms and hydrology created primarily from the
dissolution of soluble bedrock. In karst, water dissolves fractures and joints in the bedrock
forming a network of interconnected underground conduits that can easily transport surface
water to the groundwater system and carry groundwater long distances at speeds up to miles
per day.
Assessment of Future Development Activity
Task 1 of the MIDS Evaluation was to "Determine how much of the evaluation areas would be subject
to new development, redevelopment, infill, and road reconstruction/construction projects". This
memorandum summarizes the work completed for this task.
The BCWD met with MnDOT, the City of Stillwater and the City of Oak Park Heights to identify where
new development and/or redevelopment is expected to happen in the drainage areas to Long Lake
and the Diversion Structure (Figure 1) within the foreseeable future (defined as the next 10 years).
Information for Washington County was collected using the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and their 5-
year Capital Improvement Plan. In addition to identifying the parcels expected to be developed
and/or redeveloped, the cities identified which parcels would be developed under a single plan and
how much impervious coverage would apply to the anticipated development activity.
Figure 1 identifies the individual parcels/roads expected to be developed/redeveloped and assigns
an identification number to each development plan. In total, there are 19 development or
redevelopment projects in the drainage area to Long Lake and 24 development or redevelopment
projects in the drainage area to the Diversion Structure. Two of these projects are road improvement
projects, both of which are located in both drainage areas: MNDOT's Highway 36 and Manning
Avenue Interchange (Area #9) and the City of Oak Park Heights' frontage road reconstruction project
(Area #10). There is also a portion of the Central Greenway Regional Trail that will likely be
constructed in the City of Lake Elmo (Area #23).

A couple of assumptions were made for development plans located in the City of Stillwater. Within
the commercial area located east of County Road 5 and north of Highway 36 (Area #22), the City
anticipates that Herberger's a department store, which closed in 2018, will redevelop in the
foreseeable future (Area #22a). This site occupies seven parcels and is located east of Washington
Avenue between Tower Drive and the Frontage Road. Within this same commercial area, the City
envisions some of the larger parking areas redeveloping into fast-food/drive-through businesses (as
Dairy Queen did at Valley Ridge Mall). As a result, it was assumed that a similar sized development
would occur within the parking lot at Target (Area #22b), which is located in Stillwater Market Place.
Additionally, it was assumed that 1/4 of the individual parcels in Area #6 will redevelop at a slightly
higher density.
Given these assumptions, 11% of the Long Lake drainage area and 13% of the drainage area to the
Diversion Structure (as shown in Figure 1) would be subject to Rule 2.0 of the BCWD's Rules.

Application of the Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS)
After identifying which parcels/roads the member communities and MNDOT expect to
develop/redevelop in the next 10 years, FOR evaluated how the location of these sites may be
impacted by prohibitions identified in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Construction Stormwater General Permit (July 31, 2018) or site restrictions which would allow the
development to meet alternative MIDS performance goals (or what is referred to as Flexible
Treatment Options).
It should be noted that three of the 24 development areas would not trigger the Construction
Stormwater General Permit which has a trigger of one acre or more of land disturbance. Area # 8,
Area #22b (fast-food/drive-through businesses in the Target parking lot) and Area #23 (regional
trail) would likely fall below this threshold. Additionally, redevelopment activity in Area #6 may also
fall below this threshold depending upon how these areas redevelop (individually or common plan
of development). In all cases, development/redevelopment of these areas would trigger the BCWD's
current rules (10,000 sq. ft. or more of imperviousness or 5,000 sq. ft. of imperviousness in the
contributing drainage area of a groundwater dependent natural resource). It would also trigger the
6,000 sq. ft. threshold adopted by the Middle St. Croix WMO and the Valley Branch Watershed District
(VBWD).
According to the NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit, the construction of infiltration
systems within a DWSMA is prohibited if the system will be located:
a. In an ERA within a DWSMA classified as having high or very high vulnerability; or
b. In an ERA within a DWSMA classified as moderate vulnerability unless a regulated MS4
Permittee performed or approved a higher level of engineering review sufficient to provide a
functioning treatment system and to prevent adverse impacts to groundwater; or
c. Outside of an ERA within a DWSMA classified as having high or very high vulnerability, unless
a regulated MS4 Permittee performed or approved a higher level of engineering review
sufficient to provide a functioning treatment system and to prevent adverse impacts to
groundwater.
While the BCWD rules do not currently include language restricting the use of infiltration in an ERA
or DWSMA, the District is interested in applying its rules in a consistent fashion with the State of
Minnesota and its member communities. In May 2019, the City of Stillwater adopted MIDS.
According to the City's Engineering Design Guidelines, infiltration is precluded if the property is (1)
within a Wellhead Emergency Response Area and (2) within a DWSMA with a moderate to high
vulnerability. Recent permit applications located in the City of Oak Park Heights' DWSMA have not
been allowed to use infiltration (or create new infiltration) to meet volume control requirements (e.g.
Permit 18-11 Ridgecrest and Permit 18-08 Holiday Inn Express & Suites). As a result, it is assumed
that both communities have limitations in the use of infiltration as a means of meeting the MIDS
requirement or the BCWD rules and will continue to be a factor for consideration under the District's
variance process. Specifically, the City of Stillwater prohibits the use of stormwater infiltration in the
ERA and the City of Oak Park Heights prohibits infiltration in the DWSMA.
According to Minnesota Statute 115.03, Subd. 5c (c) "The agency (MPCA) shall develop performance
standards, design standards, or other tools to enable and promote the implementation of low impact

development and other stormwater management techniques. For the purpose of this section, "low
impact development" means an approach to stormwater management that mimics a site's natural
hydrology as the landscape is developed. Using the low impact development approach, stormwater is
managed on site and the rate and volume of predevelopment stormwater reaching receiving waters is
unchanged. The calculation of predevelopment hydrology is based on native soil and vegetation."
In 2013, MIDS was released after a five-year long development process. While the MIDS performance
goal for new development sites that do not have restrictions is the retention of 1.1 inches of runoff
from imperious surfaces, there are different performance goals for redevelopment activity, linear
projects and sites subject to conditions that may limit the use of infiltration. If site restrictions make
it infeasible to meet the 1.1 inch performance goal, a 0.55 inch performance goal is explored, followed
by a 60 percent annual Total Phosphorous removal goal, and then a final option of meeting the 1.1
inch volume reduction goal at an off -site location. To determine which performance goal would apply
to the individual development plans identified in Figure 1, FOR evaluated which site restrictions
would apply to each of the sites (see Table 1). As Table 1 indicates, the main factors influencing
application of the performance goals are HSG D soils and the DWSMA. Figures 2 through 5 illustrate
how these particular site restrictions affect the application of the BCWD rules and MIDS on the
development plans. Specifically, Figures 2 and 3 identify where HSG D soils are located on the
development plans and Figures 4 and 5 illustrate how the development plans are situated relative to
the City of Stillwater's and Oak Park Heights' drinking water supply management areas (DWSMAs).

In addition to evaluating the site restrictions identified in the MIDS Design Sequence Flowchart -
Flexible Treatment Options, FOR considered whether or not the development plans would be subject
to existing agreements or regional treatment. The BCWD is a partner to two agreements, which
exempt certain portions of the watershed from the District's volume control requirement: the TSMP
Agreement and the Kern Center Pond Agreement (Figure 6). If a development plan falls within one
of these two agreement areas, it is noted in the column titled "Other restrictions" in Table 1.
Additionally, Area #8 falls in the Bradshaw Development, which implemented a stormwater
management plan designed to retain runoff for all events up to the 100-year 24-hour rainfall event.

** While Development Areas #11 and #12 are located in the Stillwater TWP, conversations with the Cities of
Stillwater and Oak Park Heights indicate that this property will likely fall within the City of Stillwater's
jurisdiction.
Conclusions
As this memorandum describes, the main site restrictions driving the application of the BCWD rules
and MIDS performance goals are (1) the Emergency Response Area (ERA) and/or Drinking Water
Supply Management Area (DWSMA) and (2) existing agreements, which exempt development from
portions of the District's volume control requirement.
The following flow charts illustrate how these restrictions affect the application of MIDS and the
BCWD rules. Figure 7 illustrates how a site's location in a DWSMA (classified as having high
vulnerability) and in the ERA, determine which MIDS performance goal a site has to meet: Full MIDS
or Flexible Treatment Option 2.

Re: The Demolition Permit Application, Demolition Designation Study, and proposed
Designation of a Heritage Preservation Site concerning the real property located at 615
Broadway Street South, Stillwater, Minnesota (the "Property'').
Mayor Kozlowski, Honorable Counci lors, and Honorable Commissioners ,
Please be advised that I am an attorney and that I represent Reid and Julie Miller in this matter.
On February 22, 2019, my clients applied for a demolition permit from the Heritage Preservation
Commission ("HPC "). On April 3, 2019, the HPC found that the Property was a historic resource
and did not immediately approve the application for a demolition permit. On April 16, 2019, the
City Council ordered the preparation of a designation study to determine if the Property should be
designated as a historic preservation site .
Based on the Council 's dec ision, the City 's chosen expert performed an evaluation of the Property
to determine if it should be designated as a historic preservation site . The expert 's evaluation
applied the criteria found in the City Code at section 22-7, subdivis ion 4:
a. The character , interest or value as part of the development heritage or cultural
characteristics of the city, state or county.
b . The location as a site of a significant historic event.
c. The identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the city's
culture and development.
d. The embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style , period, form
or treatment.
e. The identification as work of an architect or master builder whose individual work has
influenced the city's development.
f. The embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship
that represent a significant architectural innovation.

g. The unique location or singular physical characteri stic representing an established and
familiar vi sual feature of a neighborhood, community or the city.
The Demolition Designation Study was submitted to the City on May 24, 2019 . The City's chosen
expert reached the conclusion that the Property does not meet any one of the seven possible criteria
for listing as a historic preservation site. Nevertheless, the City Council voted , by a 2-1 vote to
"reject" the Demolition Designation Study and referred this matter to back to the HPC to reevaluate
if this Property should be designated as a historic preservation site .
. After the City Council 's r ejection of the study, the City Code contemplates that the Planning
Commission and State Historic Preservation Office will consult the HPC. The HPC will then hold
a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council as to whether or not the City
should locally designate the structure. The City Council would then hold another public hearing
and make a final decision. Each of the upcoming public hearings would require public notice and
the additional investment of City resources. Moreover , the City Code also requires the HPC to
make recommendations concerning a "proposed program for site preservation" -yet another
investment of City resources.
My understanding is that the relevant sections of the City Code have been infrequently invoked
and not amended for many years . I write primarily to make the City aware that state statute,
together with a 20 13 decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court, requires the City to issue the
demolition permit that my clients applied for. Considering the involved and costly procedures
required by the City Code going forward, and the lack of any evidence to support designating the
Property as a historic preservation site, the City Council should simply reconsider its prior decision
and vote to accept the Demolition Designation Study and issue a demolition permit.
Cities must approve or deny a "written request relating to zoning" within 60 days of the
application . Minn. Stat. § 15.99, sudb . 2(a). If a city does not act within the 60-day deadline, the
application is automatically approved. Id. Heritage preservation proceedings fit within the
definition of a "written request relating to zoning." 5 00, LLC v. City of Minneapolis, 83 7 N. W .2d
287, 292 (Minn . 2013 ). Thus , my clients' demolition permit application is automatically approved
unless it was denied within 60 days of February 22, 2019.
More than four months have passed since the application was submitted to the City and there has
been no final decision on my clients ' application. The 60-day "clock" does not stop until a final
decision has been made. Moreno v. City of Minneapolis, 676 N .W.2d 1, 5-6 (Minn. Ct. App.
2004). Under the applicable provision of the City Code, section 34-4 , subdivision 2(2)(b)(iii)(l),
the application is still pending a final decision. The demolition permit would still be approved if
"the completed designation study is not approved within 180 days of the commission
determination" or "if the city council denies implementation of the designation study ." Under the
terms of the City Code , the City Council could still approve m y client's application-no final
decision has been made.
I realize that the City does not need a letter from me to explain the law. The City has an excellent
city attorney to tum to in the event they have any legal questions . However, my clients and I felt
it was important to make the City aware of this legal authority before significant public resources
P a ge J3
are expended in the futile pursuit of de signating the Property as a hi storic site. The demolition
permit has already been approved by operation of Minn. Stat. § 15.99.
Mayor Kozlowski and Councilmember Weidner were not present for the vote rejecting the
Demolition Designation Study . It would seem that the most efficient way to address this issue
would be for the City Council to reconsider its rejection of the Demolition Designation Study at
the next meeting of the City Council and vote to accept the study and issue the permit. I
respectfully request that Mayor Kozlowski and Councilrnember Weidner move to put this matter
on the agenda for the City Council meeting of July 2, 2019.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mayor & City Council
DATE: June 27, 2019
TOPIC: Policy and procedures for food vending trucks
REPORT BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
Food trucks are increasingly popular as caterers for private gatherings. Traditionally party
planners contacted catering services to provide food service. These arrangements required no
City review. Food trucks, on the other hand, generally require permits from the City.
But, if food trucks operate as caterers they currently do not receive the same level of City
oversight. This distinction is drawn by staff generated policy. Since food trucks that function as
caterers do not have the same impact as food trucks offering food to the public, we do not require
food vending permits for them.
Because food truck catering is becoming increasingly popular, staff would like to discuss current
practices with the City Council to confirm or get direction to change them.
ISSUES TO CONSIDER
1. Policy confirmation: Food vending trucks catering outside of downtown. The current
policy is not to require a permit for mobile food vendors that are catering private
gatherings outside of the downtown area. These food vending caterers can only park on
private property, not on public streets, in public parking lots or on other public property.
And, no sales can be made to the general public, only to the guests of the private
gathering they are catering. Is the City Council supportive of this policy?
2. Policy change: Food vending trucks catering downtown. The current policy is to
require any food vending downtown to have a permit from the City. But, staff has
received a number of requests to allow mobile food vendors to cater private events
downtown without a permit. For example at the JX Event Center. If a downtown
property owner hosts food trucks only several times a year (three or less?), would the
City Council be in support of allowing the food trucks to park on private downtown
property to cater private gatherings without first getting a seasonal food vending permit?
If so, how many days per year before a permit is required?
a. Food vending done in association with special events that have event permits
from the City operate under the auspices of the event organizer and do not need a
separate permit.
Page 2
3. Policy confirmation: Food vending trucks catering in City parks. Is the City Council
supportive of the current policy to allow mobile food vendors in city parks to cater
private gatherings? As long as the following standards are met, staff has been allowing
this type of catering without a permit.
a. No sales to the public, only to the guests of the private gathering.
b. Parking of food truck allowed in parking lots within park, or at Washington
Square, in the parking area on the north side of the park.
c. Larger gatherings and “public events” require an event permit and food vendors
would then operate under the auspices of the event permit.
d. This policy does not apply to Lowell Park and the parking lots abutting it. Since
the Lowell Park is Downtown, a mobile food vendor can only operate there under
the auspices of a special event permit approved by the City Council.
4. Ordinance amendment: Administrative issuance of seasonal food vending permits.
Seasonal food vending permits are issued annually. New permit applications, and
applications with substantial changes from previous years are required to be reviewed by
the Planning Commission. In the four years since the standards for these permits were
adopted by ordinance, it has become clear that as long as the applicants meet all of the
performance standards, the Planning Commission has always approved them without
conditions. Therefore, staff believes it would be appropriate to revise the review process
and make it administrative only. If all standards are met, then the permit would be issued
administratively. If the Council supports this change, staff would draft an ordinance
amendment and bring it back to the City Council.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Mayor & Council Members
REPORT DATE: June 26, 2019
MEETING DATE: July 2, 2019
REQUEST: Consider concurrent detachment/annexation concept
REPORT BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
Canvas Health approached the City about a future plan to redevelop their property on the
south side of Orleans Street between Panama Avenue and Ozark Avenue. As it turns out, the
property lies partly within Stillwater and partly within Oak Park Heights. So, Canvas Health
has asked whether their whole property could be located within Stillwater. This would require
the detachment of the area shown below in red-cross hatch from Oak Park Heights and
annexation to Stillwater.
Page 2
Oak Park Heights supports the
detachment request if the City
of Stillwater is willing to
concurrently detach the right-
of-way property that Lookout
Drive traverses. This is
important to Oak Park Heights
primarily because it provides
direct access for one of their
neighborhoods to Highway 95.
The four parcels that they
would like to have detached
from Stillwater are shown in
light blue to the right.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
City staff is requesting the
Stillwater City Council to
consider the conceptual
concurrent detachment-
annexation. If the Council
conceptually supports the
action, then the staffs of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights would draft a Memorandum of
Understanding for each City’s Council to consider.
COMMENTS
1. Stillwater’s responsibility to maintain the MnDOT constructed trail along Lookout Trail
would transfer to Oak Park Heights with the detachment.
2. Sanitary sewer and municipal water for Canvas Health’s redevelopment would be
provided by Oak Park Heights.
3. Oak Park Heights would like to see no access to Ozark Avenue from Canvas Health’s
redeveloped property. They would also like to see robust landscaping for screening
purposes along Ozark Avenue.
COUNCIL ACTION
City Council could decide to conceptually support the concurrent detachment/annexation or not.
If the decision is to conceptually support, the staffs of the two Cities will draft a memorandum of
understanding to bring back to the Councils for formal adoption.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case 2019‐23 to consider a Zoning Text Amendment to amend city code pertaining to the citing
of wireless towers.
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that City Code Section 31‐512,
Regulation of radio and television towers, indicates the prefer red locations for antennas and
towers include: government and utility sites; school sites; and golf courses, or public parks
when compatible with the nature of the park or course. However, the Allowable Uses in Non‐
Residential Districts table does not indicate they are allowed in the Parks Recreation and
Open Space (PROS) district, nor the Public Works Facility District (PWFD). Furthermore, the
Code expressly indicates they are prohibited in the Public Administrative Offices (PA)
district. Given the conflicting language, staff is seeking to clarify in which public zoning
districts antennas and towers should be allowed. He explained the proposed amendment,
which is recommended by the Planning Commission and by City staff for approval.
Mayor Kozlowski opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Mayor
Kozlowski closed the public hearing.
City Council Meeting June 18, 2019
Page 3 of 6
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to approve first
reading of an Ordinance amending Article 31‐325, allowable uses in non‐residential districts,
and Article 31‐512, regulation of radio and television towers of the City Code of the City of
Stillwater, Case No. 2019‐23. All in favor.
Ordinance amending City Code Section 35‐25 (d): Regulations for Commercial Lawn Fertilizer
Applicators.
City Attorney Land informed the Council that the City has historically licensed businesses
that apply lawn fertilizers, however this is not necessary because the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture has the sole authority to regulate the licensing of fertilizer
applications. Staff recommends the repeal of Section 35‐25(d) regarding Regulations for
Commercial Lawn Fertilizer.
Mayor Kozlowski opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Mayor
Kozlowski closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve first
reading of an Ordinance repealing Section 35‐25(d) regarding regulations for commercial lawn
fertilizer applicators of the Stillwater City Code. All in favor.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There was no unfinished business.

references up‐to‐date with State and Federal law, and to expand descriptions of current
practice. Due to the number of updates, staff recommends the revised Employment Policy
Manual be approved in its entirety.
Motion by Councilmember Collins, seconded by Councilmember Weidner, to adopt Resolution
2019‐075, approving the revised City of Stillwater Employment Policy Manual. All in favor.
Chicken Keeping Permit for 2509 Hidden Valley Lane
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that the City received a complaint
regarding unpermitted chickens being kept at 2509 Hidden Valley Lane. Through code
enforcement, Patricia Strauss, the property owner, was told that she would have to apply
for a chicken keeping permit or remove the chickens from the property. She chose to submit
the permit application. Objections were received from two nearby property owners. They
request that the permit be denied due to excessive noise, chickens escaping the backyard,
the fact that chickens attract vermin and predators, a twenty foot distance from the coop to
the neighboring house is not adequate, and the overwhelming smell. Four letters of support
were received. Staff suggests revising Condition #2 to limit this permit to one year, since
there are concerns, rather than two years. Staff finds that the application meets all of the
City Code requirements and recommends approval with five conditions.

Councilmember Collins stated he looked at the property and feels that birds and dogs in the
neighborhood generate more noise than the chickens. He believes the request is reasonable.
Councilmember Polehna expressed that he feels chickens do not belong in town.
Motion by Councilmember Collins, seconded by Mayor Kozlowski, to approve the chicken
keeping permit for 2509 Hidden Valley Lane with the five staff‐recommended conditions
including the change to Condition #2. Motion failed.
Ayes: Councilmember Collins and Mayor Kozlowski
Nays: Councilmembers Junker, Weidner and Polehna
Short Term Home Rental Ordinance Amendment Request
Community Development Director Turnblad reported that Brian Brosdahl would like to
convert a Type B2 license for his property at Second and Pine Street to a Type C. Since all 15
Type C1 vacation rental licenses currently allowed by City Code have been issued and there
is a waiting list, Mr. Brosdahl has submitted a request to amend the City Code by increasing
the number of Type C licenses that can be issued. There is only one property that has
generated complaints in the two and a half years that the Short Term Home Rental
Ordinance has been in effect. The amendment has not gone to the Planning Commission
because it has been moved out of zoning ordinance and is now in the licensing section whose
amendments go only before the Council. Staff finds the request to increase the number of
Type C licenses by five Downtown and by five in residential nei ghborhoods to be reasonable
and timely, and therefore recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Mayor Kozlowski noted that when the Council passed the ordinance they were very
cautious. He would have no problem with another five Type C licenses downtown and five
up on the hill. However he does not want future increases to be driven by applications.
Councilmember Junker agreed. He feels Stillwater is becoming a model city for how to
regulate short term home rentals.
Councilmember Polehna stated he does not want downtown filled w ith nothing but Airbnbs.
He is also concerned about the impacts of increased STHRs on hotels.
Councilmember Collins remarked he feels Type C licenses should be capped at 25.
Councilmember Weidner stated he views the Type C home rentals as mini hotels and he
thinks there are already enough of them in the City.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to approve allowing
five more Type C Short Term Home Rental licenses in the CBD Zoning District, and five more in
Residential Zoning Districts. Motion passed.
Ayes: Councilmembers Collins, Junker and Mayor Kozlowski
Nays: Councilmembers Weidner and Polehna
Maple Island Brewery Bands for the Brave Event
Community Development Director Turnblad stated that Doug Kotulski of HOOAH, Inc. has
applied for permission to sponsor an event known as Bands for the Brave at Maple Island
Brewery on September 7, 2019. The owner of the brewery has given consent for the event
City Council Meeting June 18, 2019
Page 5 of 6
to occur in the private parking lot. Proceeds from the event go to HOOAH (Helping Out Our
American Heroes) to help prevent suicide amongst military veter ans. Since the event will be
held entirely on private property, a special event permit is not necessary, but Council
permission is required to hold the outdoor event. This would be the second approved event
in the brewery parking lot. Staff recommends approval.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve a permit
for Bands for the Brave at Maple Island Brewery on September 7, 2019. All in favor.

RE: Baker-Tilly (formerly Springsted) Financial Consulting Agreement
BACKGROUND
The City of Stillwater has utilized the financial consulting firm of Springsted for many years
to provide municipal financial consulting services. The Springsted firm recently joined
with two additional firms, Umbaugh and Baker-Tilly, under the name of Baker Tilly
Municipal Advisors, LLC. Springsted staff have continued with the Baker Tilly firm and will
remain assigned to the City of Stillwater. With the business merger, all existing Springsted
agreements need to be renewed under the Baker Tilly name.
Attached for City Council review and approval is the updated Baker Tilly engagement letter
and agreement to provide the City of Stillwater with municipal advisory services. City staff
(Finance Director, City Attorney and City Administrator) has reviewed the proposed Baker
Tilly engagement letter and agreement and recommend that the City Council approve the

act or omission of the Client, the Advisor shall be paid the amount which it would have

been due if the Advisor's services to the point of abandonment had been ch arged at the
hourly rate set out in paragraph B. herein however not more than the fee had the Debt
Obligation been issued. A Debt Obligation shall be deemed abandoned upon notice by
the Client to the Advisor of abandonment or whenever the Client has taken no action with
respect to the Debt Obligation within one year, whichever occurs first. Delay in the
issuance of Debt Obligations resulting from failed authorization referenda shall not
constitute abandonment unless otherwise provided by agreement between the Client and
the Advisor.

determination for each Debt Obligation when such determinations are made for periods in
excess of one year.
2. At such time as the original proceeds and investment earnings thereon are completely expended
and only a non-commingled bona fide debt service fund remains, the Advis or will notify the Client

Standard Business Terms
Page 1 of 4 Rev.March.2019
These Standard Business Terms (“Terms”) govern the services provided by Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC (“Baker Tilly”, “we”, “us” or “our”) set forth in
the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work to which these Terms are attached (the “Services”). These Terms, together with the Engagement Letter or
Statement of Work to which they are attached, constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the client identified on such Engagement Letter or
Statement of Work (the “Client”) and Baker Tilly with respect to the Services described in the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work (collectively, the
Engagement Letter or Statement of Work and these Terms are referred to as the “Agreement”) and supersede and incorporate all prior or contemporaneous
representations, understandings or agreements, and may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed between the parties hereto.
If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms of any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work, these Terms shall govern.
Section 1. Confidentiality
With respect to this Agreement and any information supplied in connection
with this Agreement and designated by the disclosing party (the
“Disclosing Party”) as “Confidential Information” either by marking it as
“confidential” prior to disclosure to the receiving party (the “Recipient”) or,
if such information is disclosed orally or by inspection, then by indicating
to the Recipient that the information is confidential at the time of disclosure
and confirming in writing to the Recipient, the confidential nature of the
information within ten (10) business days of such disclosure, the Recipient
agrees to: (i) protect the Confidential Information in the same manner in
which it protects its confidential information of like importance, but in no
case using less than reasonable care; (ii) use the Confidential Information
only to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) reproduce
Confidential Information only as required to perform its obligations under
this Agreement. This section shall not apply to information which is (A)
publicly known, (B) already known to the recipient; (C) disclosed to a third
party without restriction; (D) independently developed; or (E) disclosed
pursuant to legal requirement or order, or as is required by regulations or
professional standards governing the Services performed. Subject to the
foregoing, Baker Tilly may disclose Client’s Confidential Information to its
subcontractors and subsidiaries.
Section 2. Deliverables
(a) Materials specifically prepared by Baker Tilly for Client as a deliverable
under an Engagement Letter or Statement of Work (each a “Deliverable”)
may, when fully paid for by Client, be used, copied, distributed internally,
and modified by Client but solely for its internal business purposes. Client
shall not, without Baker Tilly’s prior written consent, disclose to a third
party, publicly quote or make reference to the Deliverables. Baker Tilly
shall retain all right, title and interest in and to: (i) the Deliverables,
including but not limited to, all patent, copyright, trademark and other
intellectual property rights therein; and (ii) all methodologies, processes,
techniques, ideas, concepts, trade secrets and know-how embodied in the
Deliverables or that Baker Tilly may develop or supply in connection with
this Agreement (the “Baker Tilly Knowledge”). Subject to the confidentiality
restrictions contained in Section 1 and fiduciary obligations as set forth in
applicable law or regulation, Baker Tilly may use the Deliverables and the
Baker Tilly Knowledge for any purpose.
(b) The documentation for this engagement, including the workpapers, is
not part of the Deliverables, is the property of Baker Tilly and constitutes
confidential information. We may have a responsibility to retain the
documentation for a period of time sufficient to satisfy any applicable legal
or regulatory requirements for records retention. If we are required by law,
regulation or professional standards to make certain documentation
available to regulators, Client hereby authorizes us to do so.
Section 3. Acceptance
Client shall accept Deliverables which (i) substantially conform to the
specifications in the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work or (ii) where
applicable, successfully complete the mutually agreed to acceptance test
plan described in the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work. Client will
promptly give Baker Tilly written notification of any non-conformance of
the Deliverables with such requirements (“Non-conformance”) within thirty
(30) days following delivery of such Deliverables, and Baker Tilly shall
have a reasonable period of time, based on the severity and complexity of
the Non-conformance, to correct the Non-conformance so that the
Deliverables substantially conform to the specifications. If Client uses the
Deliverable before acceptance, fails to promptly notify Baker Tilly of any
Non-conformance within such 30-day period, or delays the beginning of
acceptance testing more than five (5) business days past the agreed upon
date for the start of such acceptance testing as specified or otherwise
determined under the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work, then the
Deliverable shall be deemed irrevocably accepted by the Client.
Section 4. Standards of Performance
(a)Baker Tilly shall perform its Services in conformity with the terms
expressly set forth in this Agreement and all applicable laws and
regulations governing the Services. Accordingly, our Services shall be
evaluated on our substantial conformance with such terms and standards.
Any claim of nonconformance (and applicability of such standards) must
be clearly and convincingly shown. Client acknowledges that the Services
will involve the participation and cooperation of management, officials and
others of Client. Unless required by professional standards or Client and
Baker Tilly otherwise agree in writing, Baker Tilly shall have no
responsibility to update any of its work after its completion.
(b) It is understood that Baker Tilly will serve in an advisory capacity with
the Client. The Client is responsible for all management decisions and
functions relating to the proposed transactions and for designating one or
more individuals with suitable skill, knowledge and experience to oversee
the Services provided hereunder.
Section 5. Warranty
(a) Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has full power
and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and any
Engagement Letter or Statement of Work entered into pursuant hereto and
the person signing this Agreement or such Engagement Letter or
Statement of Work on behalf of each party hereto has been properly
authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement.
(b) Client warrants that it has the legal right and authority, and will continue
to have the legal right and authority during the term of this Agreement, to
operate, configure, provide, place, install, upgrade, add, maintain and
repair (and authorize Baker Tilly to do any of the foregoing to the extent
the same are included in the Services) the hardware, software and data
that comprises any of Client’s information technology system upon which
or related to which Baker Tilly provides Services under this Agreement.
(c) Baker Tilly warrants that any Services that it provides to Client under
this Agreement and any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work will be
performed in accordance with generally accepted industry standards of
care and competence and all applicable laws and regulations governing
the Services. Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of Baker
Tilly’s warranty will be for Baker Tilly, in its sole discretion, to either: (i) use
its reasonable commercial efforts to re-perform or correct the Services, or
(ii) refund the fee Client paid for the Services that are in breach of Baker
Tilly’s warranty. Client must make a claim for breach of warranty in writing
within thirty (30) days of the date that the Services that do not comply with
Baker Tilly’s warranty are performed. This warranty is voided in the event
that Client makes alterations to the Services provided by Baker Tilly or to
the environment in which the Services are used (including the physical,
network and systems environments) that are not authorized in writing by
Baker Tilly. If Client does not notify Baker Tilly of a breach of Baker Tilly’s
warranty during that 30-day period, Client will be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted the Services.
(d) Baker Tilly does not warrant any third-party product (each, a “Product”).
All Products are provided to Client by Baker Tilly or otherwise “AS IS,”
provided that, if the review of a recommendation of a Product is requested
by the Client and within the scope of the Engagement Letter or Statement
of Work, Baker Tilly will determine, based on the information obtained
through its diligence, whether the Product is suitable for the Client and the
basis therefore. Client, recognizing that Baker Tilly is not the provider of
any Product, expressly waives any claim that Client may have against
Baker Tilly based upon any product liability or infringement or alleged
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual
Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC
Standard Business Terms (cont.)
Page 2 of 4 Rev.March.2019
property right (each a “Claim”) with respect to any Product and also waives
any right to indemnification from Baker Tilly against any such Claim made
against Client by another. Client acknowledges that no employee of Baker
Tilly or any other party is authorized to make any representation or
warranty on behalf of Baker Tilly that is not in this Agreement.
(e) This Section 5 is Baker Tilly’s only warranty concerning our Services
and any Deliverable, and is made expressly in lieu of all other warranties
and representations, express or implied, including any implied warranties
of merchantability, ACCURACY, TITLE, non-infringement, or fitness for a
particular purpose, or otherwise.
Section 6. Limitation on Damages and Indemnification
(a) The liability (including attorney’s fees and ALL other costs) of Baker
Tilly and its present or former partners, principals, agents or employees
related to any claim for damages relating to the services performed under
this Agreement shall not exceed the fees paid to Baker Tilly for the portion
of the work to which the claim relates, except to the extent finally
determined to have resulted from the willful misconduct or fraudulent
behavior of Baker Tilly relating to such services. This limitation of liabilit y
is intended to apply to the full extent allowed by law or regulation,
regardless of the grounds or nature of any claim asserted, including the
negligence of either party. Additionally, in no event shall either party be
liable for ANY lost profits, LOST business opportunity, lost data,
consequential, special, incidental, exemplary or punitive damages
DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, OR VIRUSES arising out of or related to this
Agreement even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of
such damages.
(b) As Baker Tilly is performing the Services solely for the benefit of Client,
Client will indemnify Baker Tilly, its subsidiaries, affiliates and their present
or former partners, principals, employees, officers and agents against all
costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and all defense costs) associated with any third-party
claim, relating to or arising as a result of the Services, Client’s use of the
Deliverables, or this Agreement.
(c) In the event Baker Tilly is requested by the Client; or required by
government regulation, subpoena, or other legal process to produce our
engagement working papers or its personnel as witnesses with respect to
its Services rendered for the Client, so long as Baker Tilly is not a party to
the proceeding in which the information is sought, Client will reimburse
Baker Tilly for its professional time and expenses, as well as the fees and
legal expenses, incurred in responding to such a request.
(d) Because of the importance of the information that Client provides to
Baker Tilly with respect to Baker Tilly’s ability to perform the Services,
Client hereby releases Baker Tilly, its subsidiaries, affiliates and their
present and former partners, principals, agents and employees from any
liability, damages, fees, expenses and costs, including attorney’s fees,
relating to the Services, that arise from or relate to any information,
including representations by management, provided by Client, its
personnel or agents, that is not complete, accurate or current.
(e) Each party recognizes and agrees that the warranty disclaimers and
liability and remedy limitations in this Agreement are material bargained
for bases of this Agreement and that they have been taken into account
and reflected in determining the consideration to be given by each party
under this Agreement and in the decision by each party to enter into this
Agreement.
(f) The terms of this Section 6 shall apply regardless of the nature of any
claim asserted (including, but not lim ited to, contract, tort, or any form of
negligence, whether of Client, Baker Tilly or others), provided that nothing
herein shall constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which the Client
may have under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, or any other laws
whose applicability is not permitted to be contractually waived. The Client
understands that it should consult independent legal counsel to determine
if it has a non-waivable claim against Baker Tilly. These terms shall also
continue to apply after any termination of this Agreement.
(g) Client accepts and acknowledges that any legal proceedings arising
from or in conjunction with the Services must be commenced within twelve
(12) months after the performance of the Services for which the action is
brought, without consideration as to the time of discovery of any claim.
Section 7. Personnel
During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six (6) months
following the expiration or termination thereof, neither party will actively
solicit the employment of the personnel of the other party involved directly
with providing Services hereunder. Both parties acknowledge that the fee
for hiring personnel from the other party, during the term of this Agreement
and within six (6) months following completion, will be a fee equal to the
hired person’s annual salary at the time of the violation so as to reimburse
the party for the costs of hiring and training a replacement.
Section 8. Termination
(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon
written notice to the other. However, upon termination of this Agreement,
this Agreement will continue to remain in effect with respect to any
Engagement Letter(s) or Statement(s) of Work already issued at the time
of such termination, until such Engagement Letter(s) or Statements of
Work are themselves either terminated or the performance thereunder is
completed.
(b) This Agreement and all Engagement Letters or Statements of Work
may be terminated by either party effective immediately and without
notice, upon: (i) the dissolution, termination of existence, liquidation or
insolvency of the other party, (ii) the appointment of a custodian or receiver
for the other party, (iii) the institution by or against the other party of any
proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other foreign,
federal or state bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or other similar law
affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (iv) the making by the other
party of any assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(c) Client shall pay Baker Tilly for all Services rendered and expenses
incurred as of the date of termination.
(d) Any rights and duties of the parties that by their nature extend beyond
the expiration or termination of this Agreement, including but not limited
to, limitation of liability, confidentiality, ownership of work product, and
survival of obligations, any accrued rights to payment and remedies for
breach of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement or any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work.
Section 9. Dispute Resolution
(a) Except for disputes related to confidentiality or intellectual property
rights, all disputes and controversies between the parties hereto of every
kind and nature arising out of or in connection with this Agreement as to
the existence, construction, validity, interpretation or meaning,
performance, nonperformance, enforcement, operation, breach,
continuation, or termination of this Agreement shall be resolved as set
forth in this Section 9 using the following procedure: In the unlikely event
that differences concerning the Services or fees should arise that are not
resolved by mutual agreement, both parties agree to attempt in good faith
to settle the dispute by engaging in mediation administered by the
American Arbitration Association under its mediation rules for professional
accounting and related services disputes before resorting to litigation or
any other dispute-resolution procedure. Each party shall bear their own
expenses from mediation and the fees and expenses of the mediator shall
be shared equally by the parties. If the dispute is not resolved by
mediation, then the parties agree that the dispute or claim shall be settled
by binding arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in the
city in which the Baker Tilly office providing the relevant services is
located, unless the parties mutually agree to a different location. The
proceeding shall be governed by the provisions of the Federal Arbitration
Act (“FAA”) and will proceed in accordance with the then current
Arbitration Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Disputes of the
AAA, except that no pre-hearing discovery shall be permitted unless
specifically authorized by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will be selected from
AAA, JAMS, the Center for Public Resources, or any other internationally
or nationally-recognized organization mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Potential arbitrator names will be exchanged within fifteen (15) days of the
parties’ agreement to settle the dispute or claim by binding arbitration, and
arbitration will thereafter proceed expeditiously. The arbitration will be
conducted before a single arbitrator, experienced in accounting and
auditing matters. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award non-
monetary or equitable relief and will not have the right to award punitive
damages. The award of the arbitration shall be in writing and shall be
accompanied by a well-reasoned opinion. The award issued by the
arbitrator may be confirmed in a judgment by any federal or state court of
competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be responsible for their own costs
associated with the arbitration, except that the costs of the arbitrator shall
be equally divided by the parties. The arbitration proceeding, and all
information disclosed during the arbitration shall be maintained as
confidential, except as may be required for disclosure to professional or
regulatory bodies or in a related confidential arbitration. In no event shall
a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or
equitable proceedings based on such claim would be barred under the
applicable statute of limitations.

(b) Because a breach of any the provisions of this Agreement concerning
confidentiality or intellectual property rights will irreparably harm the non-
breaching party, Client and Baker Tilly agree that if a party breaches any
of its obligations thereunder, the non-breaching party shall, without limiting
its other rights or remedies, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including,
but not limited to, injunctive relief) to enforce its rights thereunder,
including without limitation protection of its proprietary rights. The parties
agree that the parties need not invoke the mediation procedures set forth
in this Section 9 in order to seek injunctive or declaratory relief.
Section 10. Force Majeure
In the event that either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to
perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement due to any act of God,
fire, casualty, flood, war, strike, lock out, failure of public utilities, injunction
or any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of any governmental
authority, epidemic, destruction of production facilities, insurrection,
inability to obtain labor, materials, equipment, transportation or energy
sufficient to meet needs, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control
of the party invoking this provision (“Force Majeure Event”), and if such
party shall have used reasonable efforts to avoid such occurrence and
minimize its duration and has given prompt written notice to the other
party, then the affected party’s failure to perform shall be excused and the
period of performance shall be deemed extended to reflect such delay as
agreed upon by the parties.
Section 11. Taxes
Baker Tilly’s fees are exclusive of any federal, national, regional, state,
provincial or local taxes, including any VAT or other withholdings, imposed
on this transaction, the fees, or on Client’s use of the Services or
possession of the Deliverable (individually or collectively, the “Taxes”), all
of which shall be paid by Client without deduction from any fees owed by
Client to Baker Tilly. In the event Client fails to pay any Taxes when due,
Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Baker Tilly, its officers,
agents, employees and consultants from and against any and all fines,
penalties, damages, costs (including, but not limited to, claims, liabilities
or losses arising from or related to such failure by Client) and will pay any
and all damages, as well as all costs, including, but not limited to,
mediation and arbitration fees and expenses as well as attorneys’ fees,
associated with Client’s breach of this Section 11
Section 12. Notices
Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement
or any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work shall be in writing and
shall be deemed received (i) on the date personally delivered; or (ii) the
date of confirmed receipt if sent by Federal Express, DHL, UPS or any
other reputable carrier service, to applicable party (sending it to the
attention of the title of the person signing this Agreement) at the address
specified on the signature page of this Agreement or such other address
as either party may from time to time designate to the other using this
procedure.
Section 13. Miscellaneous
(a) This Agreement and any Engagement Letters or Statement(s) of Work
constitute the entire agreement between Baker Tilly and Client with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements,
promises, understandings and negotiations, whether written or oral,
regarding the subject matter hereof. No terms in any Client purchase order
that are different from, or additional to, the terms of this Agreement will be
accorded any legal effect and are specifically hereby objected to by Baker
Tilly. This Agreement and any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work
cannot be amended unless in writing and signed by duly authorized
representatives of each party. Headings in this Agreement are included for
convenience only and are not to be used to construe or interpret this
Agreement.
(b) In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any Engagement
Letter or Statement of Work is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be unenforceable because it is invalid or in conflict with any law of any
relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be
affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced as if the Agreement or such Engagement Letter or Statement
of Work did not contain the particular provisions held to be unenforceable.
The unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by mutually acceptable
provisions which, being valid, legal and enforceable, come closest to the
intention of the parties underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision. If
the Services should become subject to the independence rules of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Client, such that any
provision of this Agreement would impair Baker Tilly’s independence
under its rules, such provision(s) shall be of no effect.
(c) Neither this Agreement, any Engagement Letter or any Statement of
Work, any claims nor any rights or licenses granted hereunder may be
assigned, delegated or subcontracted by either party without the written
consent of the other party. Either party may assign and transfer this
Agreement and any Engagement Letter or Statement of Work to any
successor that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of
such party by way of merger, consolidation, other business reorganization,
or the sale of interests or assets, provided that the party notifies the other
party in writing of such assignment and the successor agrees in writing to
be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(d) The validity, construction and enforcement of this Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without
reference to its conflicts of laws principles, and any action (whether by
arbitration or in court) arising under this Agreement shall be brought
exclusively in the State of Illinois. Both parties consent to the personal
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Illinois.
(e) The failure of either party at any time to enforce any of the provisions
of this Agreement or an Engagement Letter or Statement of Work will in
no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the
right of party thereafter to enforce each and every provision thereof in
accordance with its terms.
(f) Client acknowledges that: (i) Baker Tilly and Client may correspond or
convey documentation via Internet e-mail unless Client expressly requests
otherwise, (ii) neither party has control over the performance, reliability,
availability, or security of Internet e-mail, and (iii) Baker Tilly shall not be
liable for any loss, damage, expense, harm or inconvenience resulting
from the loss, delay, interception, corruption, or alteration of any Internet
e-mail.
(g) Except to the extent expressly provided in the Engagement Letter or
Statement of Work to the contrary, no third-party beneficiaries are
intended under this Agreement.
(h) Important disclosures relating to Baker Tilly, potential conflicts of
interest and legal and disciplinary events are attached as Exhibit A
to these Terms and may be updated from time to time.

Exhibit A
Important Disclosures
Non-Exclusive Services
Client acknowledges and agrees that Baker Tilly and its affiliates, including but not limited to Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, Baker Tilly Capital, LLC, and
Baker Tilly Investment Services, LLC, are free to render municipal advisory and other financial services to others and that Baker Tilly does not make its
municipal advisory services available exclusively to the Client.
Conflicts of Interest
Contingent Fee. The fees to be paid by the Client to Baker Tilly are or may be based on the size of the transaction and partially contingent on the successful
closing of the transaction. Although this form of compensation may be customary in the municipal securities market, it presents a conflict because Baker Tilly
may have an incentive to recommend unnecessary financings, larger financings or financings that are disadvantageous to the Client. For example, when facts
or circumstances arise that could cause a financing or other transaction to be delayed or fail to close, Baker Tilly may have an incentive to discourage a full
consideration of such facts and circumstances, or to discourage consideration of alternatives that may result in the cancella tion of the financing or other
transaction. Baker Tilly manages and mitigates this conflict primarily by adherence to the fiduciary duty which it owes to the Client which require Baker Tilly to
put the interests of the Client ahead of its own and its duty of fair dealing that it owes to obligated person clients which require it to deal fairly with all persons.
Hourly Fee Arrangements. Under an hourly fee form of compensation, Baker Tilly will be paid an amount equal to the number of hours worked multiplied by
an agreed upon billing rate. This form of compensation presents a potential conflict of interest if Baker tilly and the Client do not agree on a maximum fee
under the Engagement Letter or Statement of Work because Baker Tilly will not have a financial incentive to recommend alternatives that would result in fewer
hours worked. In addition, hourly fees are typically payable by the Client whether or not the financing transaction closes.
Affiliated Entities. Baker Tilly’s affiliate, Baker Tilly Investment Services, LLC (“BTIS”), a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registered
investment adviser, may provide services to the Client in connection with the investment of proceeds from an issuance of securities. In such ins tances,
services will be provided under a separate engagement, for an additional fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Baker Tilly may act as solicitor for and recommend
the use of BTIS, but the Client shall be under no obligation to retain BTIS or to otherwise utilize BTIS relative to Client’s investments. The fees paid with respect
to investment services are typically based in part on the size of the issuance proceeds and Baker Tilly may have incentive to recommend larger financings
than would be in the Client’s best interest. Baker Tilly will manage and mitigate this potential conflict of interest by this disclosure of the affiliated entity’s
relationship, a Solicitation Disclosure Statement when Client retains BTIS’s services and adherence to Baker Tilly’s fiduciary duty and/or fair dealing obligations
to the Client.
Baker Tilly’s parent company, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (“BTVK”), may provide services to the Client in connection with human resources consulting,
including, but not limited to, executive search and community survey services. In such instances, such services will be provided under a separate engagement,
for an additional fee. Certain executives of the Client may have been hired after utilizing the services of BTVK and may make decisions about whether to
engage the services of Baker Tilly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Baker Tilly may recommend the use of BTVK, but Client shall be under no obligation to
retain BTVK or to otherwise utilize BTVK relative to the Client’s activities. Baker Tilly will manage and mitigate this potential conflict of interest by this disclosure
of the affiliated entity’s relationship and adherence to Baker Tilly’s fiduciary duty to the Client.
No additional conflicts of interest have been identified by Baker Tilly. To the extent any such material conflicts of interest arise after the date of this Agreement,
Baker Tilly will provide information with respect to such conflicts in the form of a supplement or amendment to this Exhibit A.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: City Council
MEETING DATE: July 2, 2019
REQUEST: Approval of the Minnesota Historical Society Historical & Cultural
Heritage Grant Acceptance Form for the Stillwater Heritage Preservation
Commission Enabling Ordinance Amendment Project
REPORT BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
INTRODUCTION
To help protect the character and nature of the community and its historic resources, in 1987 the
City of Stillwater developed an ordinance specifically pertaining to its Heritage Preservation
Commission (HPC). The framework created remains mostly intact today with minimal
modifications in the last three decades. However, certain activities of the HPC (or activities
which the HPC may be required to be involved with) are also addressed in over one dozen other
City Code Sections.
This complex and disconnected system for the preservation of Stillwater sites and structures has
made it difficult for the public to understand and for the HPC to administer. Consequently, City
staff is challenged when assisting elected and appointed officials and property owners through
specific application review processes and permit approvals. As a result, the Historic Resources
chapter of the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls for an update to the City’s preservation
ordinance.
ORDINANCE UPDATE
In conjunction with its HPC, an outside consultant and a small citizen advisory committee made
up of business and property owners, the City will:
1. Conduct a detailed and thoughtful review of specific City Code Sections pertaining to the
Heritage Preservation Commission (as shown on the attached page and labeled as Exhibit
A) and conduct an ordinance amendment to clean up code inconsistencies, strengthen the
connection between the City Code and the design guidelines, to better define HPC
activities, as well as strengthen the connection between HPC activities and the City’s
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
2. Combine all adopted and draft design guidelines into a single reference document.
Page 2 of 3
a. A specific goal of the reference document will tie established design
guidelines to the standards set forth in the City Code.
b. This will not involve significant alterations of, or additions to, previously
adopted guidelines.
Though overlap may occur and the chosen consultant may choose to modify it, it is anticipated
the project will progress as per the following schedule:
Year Month Activity
2019 July Project Administration
August Stakeholder Outreach
September Consultant Selection
October Existing Ordinance Analysis
November Ordinance Reorganization
December Stakeholder Survey
2020 January Stakeholder Listening Session
February Ordinance Amendments
March Public Input
April Ordinance Finalization
April SHPO Review
May Commission(s) Hearing
June Council Hearings(s)
July Project Conclusion
It is estimated this project will cost $31,275. City staff has applied for and been awarded
$26,000 in grants to help offset the costs associated with hiring a consultant. The Minnesota
Historical Society has awarded the City from the $9,950 from the Historical & Cultural Heritage
Grant program. Acceptance of this grant is for Council consideration. An additional $16,050
has been awarded by the State Historic Preservation Office; acceptance of this grant will come at
a later date.
COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the Council move to approve the Minnesota Historical Society’s Historical
and Cultural Heritage grant for the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission Enabling
Ordinance Amendment project and authorize the mayor to sign the grant agreement.

SUBJECT: Employment Policy Manual Revisions due to new Wage Theft Law
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Legislature passed and the governor signed a new Minnesota Wage Theft law.
The new law amends existing state labor laws and provides for new wage and hour requirements,

the employment status and terms of employment as well as offering to provide the notice in up to
12 different languages. The employer is required to obtain the employee’s signature on the
written notice and to retain the document pursuant to Minnesota records retention laws. Under
the new law, full time, part-time and seasonal employees will all receive and be required to sign
and return the written notice generated by the employer.
The City has updated the Employment Relationship Section 5 of the Employment Policy Manual
by adding new sections labeled New Hire, Discharge, and Earnings Statements, and has revised
the Separation from Employment section of the employment policy manual to bring it in to
compliance with the requirements of the new law’s provisions. All provisions of the new law are
effective July 1, 2019, except for the provisions relating to criminal wage theft and sanctions that
go into effect August 1, 2019.

REPORT DATE: June 26, 2019

July 16, 2016 – 2nd Reading & Adoption
APPLICANT: Brian Brosdahl
REQUEST: Amend City Code to allow five more Type C Short Term Home Rental
licenses in the CBD Zoning District, and five more in Residential Zoning
Districts
REPORT BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
Fifteen Type C1 vacation rental licenses are currently allowed by City Code to be issued in the
City. All fifteen have been issued. However, Brian Brosdahl (applicant for this case) would like
to convert a Type B2 license for his property at Second and Pine Street to a Type C. Since no
Type C licenses are available, he has submitted a request to amend the City Code by increasing
the number of Type C licenses that can be issued.
At the June 18, 2019 meeting, the City Council gave conceptual approval of this amendment on a
3-2 vote.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
The specific request is to hold a hearing and approve an amendment to City Code Sec. 41-8,
Subdivision 11 (3) that reads as follows:
(3) Type C. No more than twenty-five (25) Type C licenses shall be issued and valid at
any one time. Of these twenty-five (25) licenses, no more than ten (10) shall be issued
and valid for the CBD Zoning District and no more than fifteen (15) shall be issued
and valid for Residential Zoning Districts.
1 Type C vacation rental properties are those that do not serve as the residence of the land owner. Essentially they
are properties used exclusively for short term vacation rentals.
2 Type B vacation rental properties are those that serve as the primary residence of the land owner, but also is rented
occasionally to short term guests.
Case no. 2019-33
Page 2
ANALYSIS
The request to increase the number of Type C licenses to 25 has the effect of allowing five more
in the CBD Zoning District and five more in the City’s Residential Zoning Districts. This is
summarized in the table on the next page.
CBD District Residential Districts
Issued Available Issued Available Total
Current licenses 5 0 10 0 15
Requested amendment 5 5 10 5 25
Subdivision 11 of Section 41-8, with legislative notation, would look as follows if the requested
ordinance amendment were approved.
Subd. 11. Limit on number of licenses.
(1) Type A. No more than thirty-five (35) Type A licenses shall be issued at any
one time.
(2) Type B. No more than thirty-five (35) Type B licenses shall be issued at any
one time.
(3) Type C. No more than fifteen (15) twenty-five (25) Type C licenses shall be
issued and valid at any one time. Of these twenty-five (25) licenses, no more
than ten (10) shall be issued and valid for the CBD Zoning District and no more
than fifteen (15) shall be issued and valid for Residential Zoning Districts.
The primary reason for establishing limits on the number of vacation rental licenses was to
prevent a concentration of vacation rental properties in residential neighborhoods. This was
especially applicable to Type C short term rentals, since the potential impact on neighbors is
greater when a property is used exclusively as a vacation rental, rather than as a the primary
residence of the landowner as is the case of Type A and B licenses.
With only two exceptions, the licenses (of all types) that have been issued are for properties
either in the historic neighborhoods or Downtown. This can be seen in Exhibit A. And the
licenses are fairly evenly distributed. Type C licenses follow this same pattern, as can be seen in
Exhibit B. So fortunately, the concern that vacation rentals could become concentrated to the
detriment of existing neighborhoods did not materialize. And, the request to allow five more in
residential neighborhoods and five more Downtown would not seem to result in detrimental
concentrations.
Comments
How did the City decide upon 15 as the limit for Type C licenses? The process was
somewhat random. But the limit was intentionally kept rather low with the understanding
that the number could be raised if needed and appropriate.
Lodging is allowed Downtown, and given the mix of uses permitted in the CBD Zoning
District, the impact of vacation rentals on surrounding properties is not of the same
potential magnitude as in residential zoning districts.
Case no. 2019-33
Page 3
Of the 28 vacation rental licenses issued3 to date, only one property has received
complaints in the two years that the program has been in existence.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
The City Council has the following options:
A. Approve the first reading of the ordinance amendment.
B. Deny the requested ordinance amendment.
C. Table the request for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds the request to increase the number of Type C licenses by five Downtown and by five
in residential neighborhoods to be reasonable and timely. We therefore recommend approval of
the request.

REVIEWED BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
Dan and Allison Boblit would like to demolish their two-car garage and replace it with a
similarly-size, three car garage. At their May 15, 2019 meeting, the Stillwater Heritage
Preservation Commission denied the demolition of the accessory structure on the property
located at 114 Harriet Street North, historically known as the David Swain house. The HPC’s
denial is on the basis the structure is a historic resource and there are feasible alternatives to
demolition.
At the City Council’s June 4, 2019 meeting, the Council authorized the preparation of a
demolition designation study for the accessory structure. However, at the June 18th City Council
meeting, Councilmembers absent from the June 4, 2019 meeting requested reconsideration of the
preparation of the demolition designation study. A copy of the June 4 City Council packet is
attached for the Council’s review.

Street View (Google Images – August, 2013)
HPC Case no. 2019-09
Page 2
ANALYSIS
The residence at 116 Harriet Street North was built by David Swain in 1877. Swain was a
prominent steamboat builder and captain, owner of the local Marine Engine Works, where he
manufactured marine engines and parts, and builder of the steam engine used to swing the
pontoon open on the first (1876) bridge across the St. Croix River at Stillwater. As noted in the
HPC staff report, the Greeley Addition Historic Preservation Planning Area Report (Report)
indicates Swain was probably the wealthiest individual to live in this neighborhood. The
residence was also home of the Hooley family, prominent Stillwater grocers. This structure is
not proposed for demolition.
The circa 1918 outbuilding, now used as a private garage, was constructed by David Swain
during the Development of Residential Neighborhoods (1850s – 1940s) Historic Context period.
While the HPC report indicates “it can be assumed Swain constructed steam engines in this
structure,” historical narratives indicate Swain built the “storehouse and workshop” “to house his
steamboat patterns and parts” but, within the month after building permit issuance, David Swain
died. The property owners have indicated the garage’s second story contains steamboat parts.
The Report includes a Bird’s Eye View of the west north hill in 1879; a large outbuilding
appears to be shown on the rendering in the location of the existing structure. Furthermore, the
(approximately) 900 square foot garage appears to be in the same configuration as a similar
structure was is shown on the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. However, neither of those
structures were this specific building. Although the interior lumber is dimensional, several
boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash”. There is a sag in the loft floor, a
sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior paint, determined to
be lead, is peeling from the structure.
Applicable Regulations
City Code Section 34-4, Subd. 2(b)(iii) indicates when the Heritage Preservation Commission
has made a positive finding that the structure is a historic resource and that there is a feasible
alternative to demolition, then the HPC shall direct the Community Development Director to
prepare a demolition designation study. The purpose of the designation study (a $5,000 cost that
the City must pay) is for a historian to investigate whether there is sufficient historical value in a
structure to merit designating the property as a local heritage preservation site. The City Code
further indicates “If the city council does not approve the preparation of the designation study
within 30 days of the commission determination…then the building official shall issue the
demolition permit”.
Public Comment
The City has received no public comment regarding this demolition request.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
The City Council has the following options:
A. Approve the preparation of the Demolition Designation Study.
HPC Case no. 2019-09

B. Deny the preparation of the Demolition Designation Study and authorize the demolition
of the accessory structure.

PUBLIC HEARING
Case No. 2019-09: Consideration of a Demolition Permit for the garage located at 116 Harriet Street North in
the Neighborhood Conservation District. Daniel and Allison Boblit, property owners and Jim Barton, applicant.
City Planner Wittman explained the case. The applicant is requesting a demolition permit for the garage
located at 116 Harriet Street North in order to build a three-car garage. Due to the location, the future garage
will require a variance from the Planning Commission. The approximately 900 square foot garage appears
to be in the same configuration as the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Although the interior lumber is
dimensional, several boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash.” There is a sag in the loft
floor, a sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior paint, determined to be
lead, is peeling. On a March 18 site inspection by Building Official Cindy Shilts and Ms. Wittman, the
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019

structure was determined to be in fair to good condition. The existing structure could be repaired. Based on
the review of the property and associated records, staff made a determination that the property could
potentially be locally designated because of one of the following: a) The character, interest or value as part
of the development heritage or cultural characteristics of the city, state or county. b) The location as a site
of a significant historic event. c) The identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed
to the city's culture and development. d) The embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an
architectural style, period, form or treatment. e) The identification as work of an architect or master builder
whose individual work influenced the city's development. f) The embodiment of elements of architectural
design, detail, materials or craftsmanship that represent a significant architectural innovation. g) The unique
location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a
neighborhood, community or the city. Thus, as required by the demolition ordinance, the application is
before the HPC for review and consideration. The Commission must first determine if the structure is a
historic resource and, if so, if it is worthy of designation.
Allison Boblit, applicant, pointed out the work they have done on the house since 2014 shows their
dedication to maintaining the historic look of the home. The garage is presently more of an eyesore than an
architectural feature. They would like to build a more beautiful and functional garage.
Dan Boblit, applicant, added that they want to add a third stall to get their car off the street.
Chair Mino opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Finwall asked the applicants if they considered adding onto the existing garage.
Mr. Boblit replied there are many things that would need to be replaced from siding to trusses sagging to
garage doors and a cracked floor.
Mrs. Boblit added it would cost as much or more to repair everything. They would like to get a third stall.
Commissioner Larson explained that in the Conservation District a property owner may add onto or alter a
structure without coming to the HPC, but demolitions do come to the HPC and restrictions are tight.
Whether a structure has spectacular architecture does not matter, only whether it has historic significance. It
may be preferable to have a new structure, but it seems that it is feasible to repair it.
Chair Mino asked, what was the structure originally?
City Planner Wittman replied it is assumed, but not known for sure, that it was Mr. Swain’s workshop. The
garage doors have been altered slightly. At one time there was supposedly a pulley lift system in the floor
that would lift things into the attic but it is unclear whether that was part of this structure.
Commissioner Larson questioned, if it was built at the peak of the local lumber industry, why was the
lumber was imported from Seattle? This makes him question whether this was the original building.
Commissioner Finwall acknowledged that its historic significance could be its construction by a person
contributing to the history of Stillwater. An addition appears to be feasible.
Mrs. Boblit replied she doesn’t think they could do an addition and stay under the square footage restriction.
City Planner Wittman explained the existing garage is 916 square feet and the proposed new garage would
be 994 square feet. A challenge is how to add a third stall and still maintain the integrity of structure. The
depth of the structure is almost 30 feet and a stall is about 10 feet wide, so they could not add another stall
and still be under the maximum square footage according to zoning code.
Motion by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to deny a demolition permit for the
garage located at 116 Harriet Street North, Case No. 2019-09, and to forward to the City Council a
determination that the the structure is a historic resource and there is a feasible alternative to demolition. All in
favor, 6-0.
Case No. 2019-11: Consideration of a new infill residence for the property located on XXX William Street
North in the RB district. Mulcahy Holdings, property owner and Paul Bruggeman, applicant.
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019
Page 3 of 3
City Planner Wittman stated that the applicant is requesting a permit to construct a two and a half story, one-
family residence at XXX William Street North, a lot in the Neighborhood Conservation District. The
proposed house will measure approximately 22’ wide by 48’ deep and will contain a 6’ deep front porch and
an attached 24X32’ garage. A 12/6 gable will run parallel with the front lot line. It will contain a 10/12 pitch
projection that will not rise to the primary gable. The front gable area will contain a 6’ porch with a 4/12
pitch roof. LP lap siding, to extend to the grade level, and aluminum soffit and fascia is proposed on all four
sides; LP board and batten will be located on the front of the home, above the porch and on the garage, to
add visual interest. Double hung windows are proposed for the front and sides of the home; the rear will
have slightly wider windows. All windows and trim boards will be 1X4” LP Smart Siding. Asphalt shingles
are proposed. Staff recommends approval with ten conditions.
Paul Bruggeman offered to answer questions.
Chair Mino opened the public hearing.
Jean Heinrichs (no address given), who lives south of the vacant lot, expressed concerns about disruption
that will be caused by construction and the amount of rotten and dead wood at the back of the lot drawing
carpenter ants.
Chair Mino closed the public hearing.
Mr. Bruggeman stated the trees at the back of the lot are not desirable trees and they will be removed.
Commissioner Finwall suggested adding a condition requiring removal of the dead trees along the lot line.
Commissioner Larson suggested that the contractor ensure that the swale directs runoff as shown toward the
street as opposed to the property to the south which sometimes is a concern with new construction.
Commissioner Finwall said she likes the look of the structure, but the three car garage wider than the house
is off-putting. She asked if the applicant considered stepping it back.
Mr. Bruggeman replied he could step the garage back. Another idea is to jog the driveway back or put a
window in the garage roof to break up the massing.
Commissioner Larson remarked a window dormer centered over the double garage door would help.
Commissioner Steinwall asked if the applicant considered side-loading the garage.
Mr. Bruggeman responded side-loading the garage was considered but it would be too tight.
Commissioner Larson stated the pattern of vertical versus horizontal does not follow all the way around the
structure. He suggested the use of vertical board and batten on the garage to achieve four-sided design.
Mr. Bruggeman said he could run the board and batten around the other two sides of the garage.
Commissioner Finwall suggested adding a condition that the color of the house be consistent with the
surrounding neighborhood.
Motion by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Walls, to approve Case No. 2019-11, a new infill
residence for the property located on XXX Williams Street North, with the ten conditions recommended by
staff, adding Condition #11 stating “The vertical board and batten shall be extended around all three sides of the
garage” and Condition #12, “The vertical board and batten shall be added to the north and south façade gable
above the window line” and Condition #13, “A proportional shed dormer shall be added onto the garage” and
Condition #14, “The color of the home shall follow the spirit and intent of the Neighborhood Conservation
District Design Guidelines.” All in favor, 6-0.
NEW BUSINESS
Case No. 2019-06: Consideration of a Site Alteration Permit for a master sign plan and exterior modifications
for the property located at 123 2nd Street North in the Downtown Design Review district. Judd Sather, property
owner and Sara Jespersen, applicant.
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019
Page 4 of 3
Ms. Wittman stated the applicant is requesting approval of façade improvements and signage at 123 Second
Street North, a contributing building in the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. The request includes:
removal of the existing wooden bi-fold doors and replacement with a painted black wood and glass entry
door system with gold accents; removal of the arches iron over the entrance and installation of it below the
existing awning; installation of iron grates on the first floor windows on the north façade; installation of a
30’ diameter wooden sign above the new storefront entry. The sign will read “The Lumberjack Axe
Throwing Bar” in burnt circle with corresponding sign plan; installation of a gas fireplace on the interior of
the building, requiring an exterior vent on the east side facade; and installation of new mechanical
equipment on the south side of the building in the existing patio area, screened to the west with a 10’
rockface wall and an 8’ chainlink fence. Staff finds the most of the proposed alterations are consistent with
the guidelines and recommends approval of the wooden storefront, signage, decorative arched ironwork,
awning repairs and painting, as well as all mechanical installations, with seven conditions. However, staff
recommends denial of the installation of iron grates on a portion of the building’s windows.
Councilmember Junker asked what is the purpose of the iron grates on the lower level.
Reagan Nix, Blue Pencil Collective, replied the purpose is building security and protection of the windows.
Commissioner Larson asked about the mechanical area, what is there now and what will be new.
Judd Sather, applicant, replied the transformer is existing. The the generator will be removed from the
interior of the building to the outside, in an enclosure.
Councilmember Junker remarked that the alley looks bad. Restaurants on the east side of the alley need to
cooperate as Mr. Sather does. There are plans to repave the alley but the City needs cooperation from
business owners.
Mr. Sather said he is looking at solutions to make the alley a little more walkable.
Commissioner Finwall asked if there is an alternative to the grates on the windows for security.
Mr. Sather said he is open to suggestions. The windows don’t currently have storm windows and it would be
easy to break into the building.
Commissioner Larson said adding storm windows would be one alternative.
Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Larson, to approve Case No. 2019-06, site
Alteration Permit for a master sign plan and exterior modifications for the property located at 123 2nd Street
North, with the seven conditions recommended by staff. All in favor, 6-0.
Case No. 2019-07: Consideration of a Site Alteration Permit for new siding and railings for the property located
at 126 Main Street North in the Downtown Design Review District. Murray and Heidi McAllister, property
owners.
Ms. Wittman stated the applicants are requesting approval of façade improvements at 126 Main Street
North, a contributing building in the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. The request includes: replace
all north elevation doors with a two-paneled solid door painted dark bronze; back addition modifications to
include repair and painting of stucco or replacement with bronze board and batten steel; construction of a
new rooftop access, sided in bronze colored board and batten steel with French doors; installation of a black
metal and steel cable roof railing system; and installation of glass block on a rear window. Staff finds the
proposed alterations are consistent with the guidelines and recommends approval with three conditions.
Heidi McAllister, applicant, stated there used to be three apartments in the building, now there will be two.
Access doors on the north side have original transom windows in the arches which will be retained but the
combination screen/storm doors that are all different will be replaced with a consistent style door. She
requested feedback on how to improve the overall look of the building. The stucco is in relatively good
shape but the paint is inconsistent in places. They may paint it a color more in keeping with the brick.

Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski, to approve Case No. 2019-07, Site
Alteration Permit for new siding and railings for the property located at 126 Main Street North, with the three
conditions recommended by staff. All in favor, 6-0.
Case No. 2019-10: Consideration of a Design Permit for store front remodel for the property located at 225 2nd
Street North in the Downtown Design Review District. Ann Engstrum, property owner.
Ms. Wittman stated the applicant is requesting approval of the storefront alteration of the structure located at
225 2nd Street North. The request includes: siding below each window with LP Smartside in mahogany lap;
siding the columns on each side of the door, as well as above all windows and doors, with vertical LP
Smartside in onyx; siding the corners with Versetta stone with the Mission Point color; restaining the
building canopy and door to match the mahogany lap; replacement of flush-mounted under-canopy lights;
and updating the existing signage. Staff recommends approval with two conditions.
Ann Engstrum, applicant, said the new signage will be in the same location and the same size but a different
look. This is a one-sided facelift because the building is surrounded by the Crosby hotel, parking ramp, and
another building. They are doing the facelift because they have lost a lot of tenants and need curb appeal.
She provided samples of the materials to be used.
Councilmember Junker agreed the building needs a facelift. However the proposal looks very different from
the other brick buildings. The wood siding gives it the feel of a rambler home.
Ms. Engstrum said they are avoiding brick because they don’t want the building to look like it is part of the
Crosby Hotel complex.
Commissioner Larson remarked he appreciates the need to update the look of the building. The Design
Guidelines point in the direction of relating to the context of other buildings, not doing something
completely different. He finds this a struggle because this is a contemporary building. Everything else on the
street is brick and stone except for the Rivertown Commons building. The wood siding feels out of place.
Ms. Engstrum asked if the HPC would prefer board and batten like the building on Third Street which is the
building she modeled this after.
Commissioner Larson replied that the nichiha siding on the building on Third Street is not lapped and looks
less residential. He suggested using a thin brick that adheres right to the wall with some stone accents.
Commissioner Steinwall disagreed that the guidelines push a modern building to look old. She doesn’t feel
the HPC is compelled to suggest this building be resided in thin brick. The guidelines advise that buildings
should be recognized as products of their own time.
Commissioner Larson agreed it should not be made to look old but brick is compatible with existing
buildings. There are other materials that could make it compatible.
Ms. Engstrum said she is opposed to all brick. She really wants a modern look to match the building style.
Chair Mino recognized there is already a lot of brick on the street and this is a modern building. She likes
the way it looks as proposed.
Commissioner Finwall said she appreciates the applicant trying to dress it up, but a lot more could be done
to celebrate the modern feel of the building, for instance making the door and windows more appealing. She
suggested looking at metal siding.
Ms. Engstrum replied she considered metal siding for where the vertical siding was going to go, but there
was a problem with sizing because it was going to go above the windows.
Commissioner Larson said vertical black under the windows would be better. He is concerned with how the
materials turn corners. The edge should be finished at the corner rather than a sawed raw edge. He suggested
using board and batten in a dark color, with the stone on the corners as proposed.
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019
Page 6 of 3
Ms. Engstrum said she would be open to that. They originally wanted to use board and batten. The wood
front fascia board needs to be repainted. The window trim on the north side would be painted onyx. The rest
of the building needs to be repainted but they have not decided on a color.
Motion by Commissioner Finwall, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to approve Case No. 2019-10, Design
Permit for store front remodel for the property located at 225 2nd Street North, adding Condition #3, “All
vertical mahogany LP siding shall be replaced with LP board and batten style siding in onyx” and Condition #4,
“Fine design elements of the stone siding and siding trim shall be reviewed by staff” and Condition #5, “The
sign plan shall be reviewed by staff.” All in favor, 6-0.
OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS
HPC Ordinances and Design Guidelines
In response to a previous question from Commissioner Larson, City Planner Wittman said if there is not a
condition of approval specifically tied to an item, for instance color, then it is not enforceable. There was a
question about lighting downtown. City Attorney Land said there are no specific lighting ordinances, only
guidelines. A business had an awning that was approved by the Commission but the awning did not include
lighting so Ms. Wittman advised the property owner they would have to either amend their permit or
remove the lighting. The City has standards and guidelines. Guidelines “should” and standards “shall” be
followed.
FYI
Annual Training Program
Ms. Wittman requested the Commissioners attend a new training program for all Boards and Commissions

MEETING DATE: May 15, 2019 CASE NO.: 2019-09
APPLICANT: Jim Barton of Barton Construction Services representing Dan and Alison
Boblit, property owners
REQUEST: Demolition request for a pre-1945 garage located at 116 Harriet Street
North
ZONING: RB-Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: Low/Medium Density Residential
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
REQUEST AND
STRUCTURAL
CONDITIONS
The applicant is requesting a
demolition permit for the
garage located at 116 Harriet
Street North in order to have
a modern three-car garage.
Do to the location, the future
garage will require a
variance from the City’s
Planning Commission.
The (approximately) 900
square foot garage appears
to be in the same
configuration as the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Although the interior lumber is
dimensional, several boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash”. There is a sag
in the loft floor, a sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior
paint, determined to be lead, is peeling from the structure.
PROPERTY HISTORY
According to the Greeley Addition Historic Preservation Planning Area Report, the property
was developed by David Swain, a machinist and builder of stream engines. The report
indicates “Swai was one of the most affluent residents of the area. It 1884 his personal property
was listed at $4,375.” The study included a Bird’s Eye View of the west north hill in 1879.
Swain’s garage appears to be shown on the rendering.

The report further accounts Swain “built stream engines, many of which were used in the
steamboats plying the river trade. Swain also constructed the steam engine used to swing the
pontoon open on the first (1876) bridge across the St. Croix River at Stillwater”. It can be
assumed Swain constructed steam engines in this structure.
STAFF REVIEW
On a March 18 site inspection by Building Official Cindy Shilts and I, the structure was
determined to be in fair to good condition. The existing structure could be repaired.
Based on the review of the property and associated records, staff made a determination that
the property could potentially be locally designated because of one of the following:
a) The character, interest or value as part of the development heritage or cultural
characteristics of the city, state or county.
b) The location as a site of a significant historic event.
c) The identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the
city's culture and development.
d) The embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period,
form or treatment.
e) The identification as work of an architect or master builder whose individual work
has influenced the city's development.

f) The embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials or
craftsmanship that represent a significant architectural innovation.
g) The unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established
and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the city.
Thus, as required by the demolition ordinance, the application is being forwarded to the
HPC for review and consideration.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
Chapter 34, Building Demolition¸ of the municipal code outlines the community development
director shall review the permit, conduct an on-site visit of the property with the applicant,
make … determinations, and take the associated action.
For a historic resource, the Commission must decide on one of the following:
(i) Negative finding. If the commission finds that the property is not a historic resource, then
the commission shall notify the building official that a demolition permit may be issued.
(ii) Positive finding with no feasible alternative to demolition. If the commission finds that the
property is historically significant or a historic resource, but that there is no feasible
alternative to demolition, then the commission shall notify the building official that a
demolition permit shall be issued.
(iii) Positive finding with feasible alternative to demolition. If the commission finds that the
property is historically significant or a historic resource, and that there is a feasible
alternative to demolition, then the commission shall deny the demolition permit and
direct the community development director to prepare a designation study of the
property.
Before approving the demolition of a building, the commission shall make findings that the
demolition is necessary to correct an unsafe or dangerous condition on the property, or that
there are no reasonable alternatives to the demolition. In determining whether reasonable
alternatives exist, the commission shall consider, but not be limited to, the significance of the
property, the integrity of the property and the economic value or usefulness of the existing
structure, including its current use, costs of renovation and feasible alternative uses.
The commission may require a mitigation plan as a condition of any approval for demolition of
a building. Such plan may include the documentation of the property by measured drawings,
photographic recording, historical research or other means appropriate to the significance of the
property.
With the approval of the city council, the commission may stay the release of the building,
wrecking or demolition permit for up to 180 days as a condition of approval for a demolition of
a building that has been found to contribute to a potential historic district to allow parties
interested in preserving the historic resource a reasonable opportunity to act to protect it.

RE: Application for variance
116 Harriet Street North
Dear Members:
We are request i ng a variance to re-construct our garage, located at 116 Harriet Street North. A
April 23, 2019
design permit for partial demolition was issued for this property in 2015. After two long years, the full
restoration of the house was completed. Throughout the project our design team demonstrated attention to
acetic detail and devotion to preservation. This is best seen in the attached photos of before and after the
renovat ion project. Now we'd like to extend that spirit to creating a garage that matches the modern
function and historic beauty of the home.
The existing garage has never matched the architectural integrity of the home; it is covered in failing lead
paint and has degraded. The garage doors are mismatched, support beams are compromised, siding is
beginning to rot, and joists are sagg i ng. We'd li ke to re-build and slightly expand the garage in a similar
location and incorporate some of the architectural details of the home. There would be no encroachment on
the existing set-backs; in fact, the proposed garage would be several feet farther from Rice Street than the
existing structure. As shown in the design plan, the new garage matches the character and construction of
the renovated home. Furthermore, the size proposed is consistent with a home of this scale and falls within
the city's size limit of 1,000 square feet. The existing garage is 916 square feet and the proposed garage
would be 994 square feet. The footprint would be less than that of the house and occupy less than 10% of
the buildable lot.
There are also circumstances unique to th is property wh ich warrant a variance request . The house is located
on a corner lot. The current garage is situated on the corner of Harriet Street North and Rice Street West,
with the house situated on the east side of the lot. The typical side-yard set-back of 3 feet becomes 30 feet
due to the corner lot and house/garage locations.
Neighborhoods of this era were not designed with current set-backs and we feel that maintaining existing
set-backs will have no hindrance on traffic or sight-lines. The proposed garage set-backs are consistent, if not
greater, than the surrounding neighbors. Though the address of our home i s Harriet Street North, the
driveway ente rs onto Ri ce Street West. All the neighbors' garages on Rice Street have similar or smaller
setbacks. There are no neighbors to the east, as the home is located on a dead-end and is the only home on
the south side of Rice Street. There are 3 homes on the north side. Both the nearest neighbor to the north
and to the south have three car garages, so the proposed structure is in line with the neighborhood and will
not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Building the garage as proposed will eliminate the
need for on-street overnight parking as well as another accessory building on the property.
Over the past several years we have invested time, effort, and money into our property, neighborhood, and
community while preserving the h istorical detail and essence. With your permission we would like to
complete this process by finishing the garage in a style that is worthy of the home and ne ighborhood.
Sincerely,
Property Owners

SUBJECT: Lumber Jack Days Event Parking Request
The organizers of the Lumberjack Days Event would like to request reserving
parking Lot 3 (the small lot behind Two Brians) as a valet lot for the Water Street
Inn guests. In the past the City allowed parking lot 4 to be used for Water Street Inn
guests, while their lot was being used for the Event. However this year with
MnDOT’s construction items and limited access to parking lot 4, they would like to
use parking lot 3.
The request was reviewed by the Downtown Parking Commission at their June 20th
meeting. The Commission recommends a reservation of only 22 spaces, as shown in
the attached graphic, and the organizer shall pay the reservation fee for 4 days
according to the 2019 fee schedule (total cost would be $264).
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council agrees with the Downtown Parking Commission recommendation, they
should pass a motion to approve the parking reservation request and fee
requirement.

From: Beth Wolf, City Clerk
Subject: Ragnar Relay Event & Contract
Attached is an application packet for an event called Ragnar Relay to be held August 16, 2019.
This is a long distance running event consisting of approximately 450 teams of runners
starting in St. Paul and ending in Duluth with many stops along the way. Two of those stops
are in the City of Stillwater.
This event has been held in the City of Stillwater for over 15 years. Past years this event went
from LaCrosse to Minneapolis with a exchange stop in Stillwater. Earlier years it was at Lowell
Park but most recently at the Stillwater Junior High. The event would run through Stillwater
during the early morning hours with little impact to the City. This year however with the route
change, size of the event, and type of exchange point, City Council needs to review the event
and enter into an agreement. The event will have a minor exchange stop at the Evangelical
Church on Manning Aveue and a major exchange stop in South Lowell Park.
Different charities are supported by portions of race entry fees, fundraising by teams, and
fundraising by the charities at major exchanges along the race course. Ragnar will invite
charities or local community organizations to fund raise at the major exchange.
BACKGROUND
Runners leave St. Paul on staggered times so not all runners are in one location at one time.
Runners obey all traffic rules. They run on sidewalks/trails where available, stop at
intersections and follow strict adherence to safety protocols. Teams take turns running relay
style to complete the course. Safety support vans aid the runners along the course. Stillwater
Police have been hired to watch over high traffic intersections/crossings within the City of
Stillwater.
Each team is comprised of 12 individuals and 2 support vans. Each van has 6 runners. A
runner completes a portion of the route and exchanges with their teammate from their van at
minor exchange points. At major exchange points such as Lowell Park, one runner from Van
“A” enters into the exchange location and another teammate from Van “B” proceeds out of
Stillwater to the next minor exchange where they exchange teammates that are in that van.
Van “A” then stays in Stillwater to grab a bite to eat or shop before heading to the next major
exchange location where the cycle repeats.
The major exchange location in South Lowel Park would stage relay services and support.
They would have a designated exchange point along the riverwalk, portapotties, an equipment
truck, and tents for support supplies. The organizer did request North Lowell Park, however
due to scheduling conflicts with the Valley Winds concert on the night of their setup, the event
moved into South Lowell Park. The organizer is requesting to reserve several spots in parking
lot 2 for the equipment truck and porta‐potties. The vans coming and going out of Stillwater
would find their own parking throughout the City.
The event was reviewed by the Downtown Parking Commission at their June 20th meeting.
The Commission was concerned about the location of the porta‐potties right out in front of the
Freight House Restaurant deck. They were also concerned about the potential impact of all of
the team vans. A recommendation wasn’t made as they needed more information on the
phasing for the vans.
The event was reviewed on June 24th by the Parks and Recreation Commission and they
recommend to approve the event. Any associated City costs and fees will be invoiced
according to the 2019 Fee Schedule and due July 26, 2019.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council wishes to approve the special event they should pass a motion approving the 2019
Ragnar Relay event and contract with Ragnar Events LLC subject to coordination of the event
with the City’s Police, Fire, EMS and Public Works to meet the City’s requirements.

agencies requiring permits for the Event.
6. Participant Count. Organizer shall provide Public Safety and EMS accurate participant
numbers as of July 26, 2019.
7. Required Information, Meetings, and Documentation. Organizer agrees that failure to

the requirements to public safety resources based on participant numbers, threats, or
weather conditions and any associated City costs will be paid for by the Organizer.

Minnesota Statutes, Section §466.04, covering claims that might be brought against them
that arise out of the events authorized by this Agreement and to name the City as an
additional insured on their policy “as their interest may appear” by July 26, 2019.

them of specific Race timelines and will be given a direct “hot line” number to reach on
Race day. This information must be delivered to each such owner by mail one week
before the race.
16. Public Safety Meeting. Organizer will make arrangements to meet at Stillwater City Hall
with Public Safety officials of Stillwater Police and Fire and Lakeview EMS for a pre‐race
meeting before July 26, 2019, if required by the Stillwater Public Safety officials.
17. Police Power. The City reserves the right to shut down the Event if the Chief of Police
determines that the public safety is threatened, or the health or safety of Event
participants is threatened because of weather, temperatures, or any unforeseen cause
that threatens the public health or safety, or if closure is directed by the Medical Doctor
designated by the Event in the Emergency Plan.
18. City Costs. Organizer will prepay the City for the estimated costs of the City Police
Department, Public Works Department, and Fire Department, estimated as determined
by the City Administrator for city services needed to safely conduct and maintain the
Event or any supporting activities. The payment of estimated costs and costs incurred
at the time of the billing (i.e. neighborhood meeting expenses and/or city equipment and
services) shall be received by the City no later than July 26, 2019. Failure to make the

In the event of a cancellation of this Event after the deposit is made, the City will be
entitled to deduct actual out of pocket costs incurred in preparation for the Event, before
returning the balance to Organizer.
19. City Services. The type and amount of City services and materials needed for the Event
will be determined by the Public Works Superintendent. The Organizer must provide
portable toilets to augment the existing facilities, barricades for street closure, and trash
removal.
a. No Parking signs. The Organizer may contact the Stillwater Police Department to

remove No Parking signs for the Event.
b. Portable Toilets. Organizer will provide portable toilets that will be placed in the
north portion of parking lot 2 and staggered throughout the course in keeping
with Standard Race Requirements. The number of portable toilets will be
established by the Public Works Superintendent.

4. ENGINEER –
a. 94th and Neal Quotes – Town Board members discussed and reviewed the two
bids for the culvert work and related improvements for the Neal Avenue and 94 th Street
culvert issues. Schifsky Companies bid was $8,370.00 with detailed line items and
Miller Excavating Inc. bid was $9,801.30 with more categorized grouping of work. The
Township Attorney commented that both bids were very comparable. The Township was
not required to go out for bid but elected to do so. M/S/P Hunter/McMahon moved to
accept the $8,370 bid and awarded the contract to Schifsky’s. (5 ayes)

(5 ayes)
7. PARK MANAGER – Jackie Garofalo was present to report.
a. Assistant Park Manager Position – Bennett Shantz has been working in an
unofficial type/volunteer position. Help is needed about 4 -5 hours/week with garbage
and another 2-3 hours with Pavilion clean-up after parties. Suggestion of a pay increase
from last year’s $12/hour to $15/hour. Chairperson Sheila-Marie Untiedt suggested a
simple agreement be signed for liability purposes. M/S/P McMahon/Sinclair moved to
Stillwater Town Board Mtg. – 6/13/19 Page 2
approve Park Manager Jackie Garofalo to hire Bennett Shantz as an assistant at
$15/hour. (5 ayes)
b. Spring Clean-Up – A huge success. For 3 hours cars lined up and down the
street. An increase of 1-Ton more scrap metal and solid waste was collected from last
year’s totals. Maroney’s did a nice job again this year. Tires were collected as well but
several had come with rims and Minnesota Mosquito Control would not take those.
Unfortunately, someone dumped more items after the “Spring Clean -Up Day” and we
will have to incur costs for Maroney’s to remove the garbage. Jackie Garofalo report
that we will likely not do tires again next year.
c. Neighbor on Norell Sight Lines – The Park Committee made a recommendation to
not fund or plant trees on the township property on the corner of Hwy 96 and Norell.
There is a suggestion to check with the Planner. Jackie will follow up with Mr. Heifort.

and asked if they could donate a “tee marker” for the Disc Golf Park.

this Sunday, June 16th.
f. Park Check-Ins - Police Chief Steve Nelson and Assistant Park Manager Kelley
Shantz have been doing daily check-ins and will begin logging what is seen in the
garbage cans at the park to have documentation to respond to concerned residents.
g. Keep Arcola Heights Park open - It is the Park Committee’s recommendation to
not sell the park land and that this park i s safe and highly used for Disc Golf and it
should be kept open.
h. STS – Crews were out clearing sight lines from Hole 8 to the road. Next year the
focus will be more on removal of Prickly Ash versus Buckthorn. Supervisor Rod Hunter
commented that the tee boxes could use a little clean up where some of the gravel has
shuffled out. He reported the times he has been to the park and has met small groups
of nice kids playing disc golf.
i. Goats - For Buckthorn removal the Township is looking into having goats at the
park. Jackie is working with a representative from Washington County who is assessing
the area.
j. Reimbursement - An invisible fence was accidently cut while clean up happened.
The Township will reimburse the $120 to the resident.
k. Garbage – Increase in garbage pick up has solved the issue.
l. Park Survey – Deputy Clerk Barbara Riehle drafted a survey. The plan is to begin
at the picnic, then to all residents. Supervisor Rod Hunter suggested adding “What is
your favorite thing?” instead of Comments.

moved to recommend Soren to review Ordinances with Steve (5 ayes)
4. Arcola Heights Park- 10 trips to the park in 20 days. All people were legal
