After watching the Planning Commission, discussion among the Commissioners came
up about attendance at Council meetings. For as far back as I can remember, this has been
an Informational Item on their agendas. Both the Park and Planning Commissions have a
Council Liaison who is available to give updates on the Commission meetings. Although,
it can be beneficial for Commissioners to attend Council meetings, maybe it is time to look
at an update/change for attendance to Council meetings.

Action Requested: Consider Do ation to Homecoming Carnival
Background/Justification (Please indicate any previous action has been taken or if other public
bodies have been advised).
I received the attached flyer from Stillwater Area High School. As this is something that
has not come up before, I thought Council should discuss. As you can see from the flyer,
this is something new for the High School for a Homecoming Carnival. We were approached
last year about a possible parade, but the students chose a carnival instead.
This will also be the evening of a ribbon cutting/dedication of the improvements done at
the high school and stadium, and also their 1,000' game.

Action Requested: Approval for Staff to Work With MnDOT on a Study of the Southwest
Portion of the TH 36 Frontage Road at Osgood
Background/Justification(Please indicate any previous action has been taken or if other public
bodies have been advised).
I talked to Adam Josephson last week regarding some phone calls that I had received regarding
the new St. Croix Crossing. He asked if the City had considered a study for improvements
for the TH 36 and Osgood southwest portion of the frontage road. There are still some HPP
funds left that could only be used for a study. As with other studies,the cost share is 80/20.
The City will already be working with MnDOT on a study for possible future improvements
at TH36 and Norell/Washington.
This is not a commitment to build anything, but to have a study to know what options there
may be in the future.

Background/Justification (Please indicate any previous action has been taken or if other public

Anyone who has tried to make a left turn on Osgood to TH 36 has seen how far the back up can
be, blocking intersections, and making travel unsafe. I have received many phone calls, and
many others may have as well, regarding how travel is still a problem, even though the frontage
road to the east has been pulled back. Even though 1 would have to believe that Washington
County is already aware of the problems, I would suggest sending a letter to the Commissioners
requesting improvements,

Background/Justification(PIe indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public
bodies have advised):
Attached you will find the Purchase Agreement that would generally outline a process for the sale of City
lands to the Madison Hospitality Group.
The Agreement accomplished two main items sought by the Council:
1. Purchase Price of$875,000(Sec.2.1)
2. Requirements of constructing of a hotel on the parcel. (Sec. 5.2 e and 6.1 e&f)
Once this is executed the Buyer will need to apply for the required land-use permits and proceed through
the traditional zoning review protocols and ultimately enter into a final developer's agreement with the
City. Once that is completed the parties can set up a closing and the lands can be conveyed with such
commitments further established.
Please recall there are some utility issues that the City will need to address—possibly relocating
water /sewer service lines that dissect the parcel, but these will be addressed in the above developer's
agreement once complete site layouts are understood.

information and recommendat
As a result of two sudden vacancies, the Planning Commission did seek residents from the City to
serve to fill these roles. Five residents did submit applications and were interviewed by the Planning
Commission on Aug IOfh. The Commission did note that it appreciated all the applicants and found
them all to be qualified to serve.
However, at this time there are only two openings and the Commission did desire to appoint:
1. Ms. Jennifer Giovinazzo (Application enclosed)
2. Ms. Jennifer Van Dyke (Application enclosed)
Staff would recommend that these appointments run through May 3151, 2019. These appointments
would be for a partial term—both completing the terms held by Beth Nelson and Greg Quale. This will
ensure continued overlap and staggering of terms. Both persons would be eligible for reappointment at
the end of this partial term.
