Council Memorandum No. 62
The Honorable Mayor �
and
Members of the City Council
Subject: Discussion Regarding Branding
(Worksession Agenda Item No. 1)
Council Members:
The Richfield Tourism Promotion Board, the Richfield Chamber of Commerce and the
City of Richfield have jointly embarked on an effort to review and update the "Brand" of
the City of Richfield. The Richfield Tourism Promotion Board (RTPB) engaged the
NemerFieger advertising firm to complete the first phase of the branding pro�ect.
NemerFieger has done similar corporate branding work in the past. The cost of the first
phase was paid for by the RTPB.
The first phase of the branding exercise is now complete and before embarking on the
next phase of the project, Tom Whelen, NemerFieger, will present a summary of work
done in Phase I.
Mr. Whelen will cover the following:
• How we came to look at Branding and Identity for Visit Richfield, Richfield
Chamber and the City of Richfield
• Collecting impressions of Richfield
o First from the Visit Richfield group and special guests
o Subsequently from two focus groups
■ Business community (people who work at or own Richfield
businesses)
■ Residents
• Developing a Logo/Identity
o What happened/didn't happen in Austin
o A look at other city logos/marks
o Color palettes from which we might work
o Sample taglines that can give us indicators for what form the logo might
take
• Next steps
Mr. n hopes to make this an interactive discussion.

OPEN FORUM
Susan Myers, 6226 Fourth Avenue, representing Richfield Open Space, spoke in
opposition to the proposed band shell location in Veterans Memorial Park and encouraged the City
to work with the Lyndale Garden Center developer to have a band shell at their location. She
requested the City Council reconsider the use of public funds and donations and schedule a date
for a public discussion and vote.
Kathy Kline, 6312 Portland Avenue, agreed with the comments of Ms. Myers and requested
the City Council remember their role and civil discourse as representatives of the citizens.
Carol Propotnik, 6400-11t"Avenue, spoke in opposition to the proposed band shell location
in Veterans Memorial Park and asked the City Council to keep the green space because it is an
important resource.
Jeff Wright, 136 East 70th Street, agreed with the comments of the previous speakers and
stated it does not make economic sense to have a band shell in Veterans Memorial Park since
there is already a band shell being proposed at the Lyndale Garden Center redevelopment site.
Jim Grupe, 7609 Second Avenue, spoke in opposition to the band shell in Veterans
Memorial Park because it could detract from the Honoring All Veterans Memorial and agreed with

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of the application for a premises permit by Fred Babcock VFW
Post#5555 to conduct lawful gambling at the Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post
#435, 6501 Portland Avenue South.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the resolution approving the lawful gambling
premises permit application for Fred Babcock VFW Post #5555, to
conduct lawful gambling at the Minneapolis-Richfield American
Legion Post #435, 6501 Portland Avenue South.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 2, 2014, the City received a copy of an application for a premises permit
submitted to the Minnesota State Gambling Control Board by Fred Babcock VFW
Post#5555, to conduct lawful gambling at the Minneapolis-Richfield American
Legion Post #435, 6501 Portland Avenue South. If approved, the application would
allow lawful gambling to continue at the Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion
Post#435, following a one year revocation of the Legion's gambling license due to
gambling violations. The Fred Babcock VFW Post #5555 would be responsible for
managing the conduct of lawful gambling on the American Legion's premises.

445253v1 MDT RC160-3
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• The Minnesota Gambling Control Board recently revoked the lawful
gambling license of American Legion Post 435 for a period of one year
due to gambling violations. The Legion wishes to continue to offer
lawful gambling at its location during the period of revocation. The
VFW, which is currently a licensed gambling organization and
conducts gambling at its own location, is interested in operating and
managing the gambling activity at the Legion site.
B. POLICY
• City Code, section 1100.13, subd. 7, allows a licensed gambling
organization to lease or occupy an on-sale liquor establishment at a
different location for the purpose of conducting gambling. The Legion
is an on-sale liquor establishment.
• The Minnesota Gambling Control Board requires that a licensed
gambling organization submit a premises permit application and lease
form for lawful gambling activity at another site. The Board requires
that the City Council approve the permit application by Resolution.
• Because the Fred Babcock VFW Post#5555 is already a licensed
gambling organization, no investigation or fee is required.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• The Minnesota Gambling Control Board approves permit applicants at
the beginning of each month. If the Council adopts the Resolution at
the meeting on June 24, 2014, the VFW could begin operation and
management of the gambling activity at the Legion after July 1, 2014.
Otherwise, the applicant would be required to wait until August 1.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution authorizing the execution of an amended Joint Cooperation
Agreement between the City of Richfield and Hennepin County for participation in the Urban
Henne in Count Communit Develo ment Block Grant ro ram in Fiscal Years 2015 —2017.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve a resolution authorizing the execution of an
amended Joint Cooperation Agreement between the City of Richfield
and Hennepin County for participation in the Urban Hennepin County
Community Development Block Grant program in Fiscal Years 2015 -
2017.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2008, the City of Richfield executed a Joint Cooperation Agreement (JCA) with
Hennepin County that allows it to receive federal Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) entitlement funding. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has made several administrative changes to the JCA and is
requiring participating communities to approve an amended JCA. A new Joint
Cooperation Agreement between the City and Hennepin County is needed in order
for the City to participate in the CDBG program for Fiscal Years 2015-2017.
06242014 CDBG JCA changes.docx
In the past, Richfield has used CDBG funds to fund the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority's Deferred Loan Rehabilitation Program, New Home
Construction Program, and public service agencies providing assistance to low-
income homeowners and renters. Funding a new Penn Avenue Fa�ade
Improvement Program is also proposed in 2014.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• On June 10, 2008 the City authorized the execution of a Joint
Cooperation Agreement between the City and Hennepin County for
participation in the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program. That
agreement is on-going unless the City notifies the County that it no
longer wishes to participate in the CDBG Program.
• On April 25, 2014, HUD released Notice CPD-13-04 which required
changes to the JCA for 2015-2017. The following changes have been
made:
1) The addition of language stating that the agreement covers not
only the CDBG Entitlement Program and the HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME), but also the Emergency Solutions Grants
(ESG) Programs.
2) The addition of a provision that a unit of general local
government may not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of such funds to another such metropolitan city, urban
county, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe, or
insular area that directly or indirectly receives CDBG funds in
exchange for any other funds, credits or non-Federal
considerations, but must use such funds for activities eligible
under Title I of the Act. This new requirement is contained in
the FY2014 HUD appropriation bill.
3) Clarification of Fair Housing language.
4) Moving contract term language specific to the CDBG contract
year from the JCA Section D to the annual CDBG subrecipient
contracts for awards (beginning in FY 2015)
5) Expanding Planning and Administrative cost language to reflect
the County's growing costs associated with compliance and
timeliness monitoring and the potential need for future
increases within the term of the JCA (the County has retained
13 percent since 2002; the maximum allowed by HUD is 20
percent).
B. POLICY
• The JCA ensures the ongoing opportunity to fund CDBG programs
and projects.
• All CDBG-funded activities must meet ane of three national objectives:
benefitting low and moderate-income persons, preventing or
eliminating slums and/or blight, or meet an urgent need. In addition,
activities must be consistent with priorities identified in the County's
Consolidated Plan. Those priorities include a variety of housing
activities such as housing rehabilitation, public services to maintain or
increase self-sufficiency, and neighborhood revitalization activities.
C. C�TICaL T�rNG IssuEs
• The resolution approving the amended JCA must be returned to
Hennepin County by July 18, 2014.
D. FnvaNClaL
• These are Federal funds awarded to the City of Richfield through
Hennepin County. Failure to approve the amended JCA will result in
the City losing its federal CDBG funding.
• The City was most recently awarded $205,188 in CDBG funds.
E. LEGAL
• The changes to the JCA require a certified City Resolution approving
the amended JCA.
F. ENVIlZONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

IV. ALTERNATNE RECOMMENDATION(S�

B. The balance of the basic grant amount shall be made available by COUNTY to COOPERATING
LJNITS in accordance with the formula stated in part C and the procedure stated in part D of this
section utilizing U.S. Census Bureau data. The allocation is for planning purposes only and is not a
guarantee of funding.
C. Allocation of funding will be based upon a formula using U.S.Census Bureau data that bears the same
ratio to the balance of the basic grant amount as the average of the ratios between:
1. The population of COOPERATING i1NIT and the population of all COOPERATING UNITS.
2. The extent of poverty in COOPERATING L1NIT and the extent of poverty in ail
COOPERATING UNITS.
3. The extent of overcrowded housing by units in COOPERATING UNIT and the extent of
overcrowded housing by units in all COOPERATING IJNITS.
4. In determining the average of the above ratios,the ratio involving the extent of poverty shall
be counted twice.
D. Funds will be made available to communities utilizing the formula specified in C ofthis Section in the
following manner: �
1. All COOPERATING UNITS with aggregate formula percentages of greater than three and
one half percent(3.5%)of the total using the procedure in part C.of this section will receive
funding allocations in accordance with the COUNTY formula allocations.
2. COOPERATING UNITS with aggregate formula percentages of three and one half percent
(3.5%)or less of the total using the procedure in part C. of this section will have their funds
consolidated into a pool for award in a manner determined by COUNTY on a competitive
request for proposal basis. On(y the COLINTY and COOPERATING UNITS whose funding
has been pooled will be eligible to compete for these funds.
6
E. The COUNTY shall develop these ratios based upon data to be furnished by HUD. The COiJNTY
assumes no duty to gather such data independently and assumes no liability for any errors in the data
furnished by HUD.
F. In the event COOPERATING UNIT does not request a funding allocation,or a portion thereof,the
amount not requested shall be made available to other participating communities, in a manner
determined by COIJNTY.
VL METROPOLITAN CITIES
Any metropolitan city executing this Agreement shall defer their entitlement status and become part of
Urban Hennepin County.
This agreement can be voided if the COOPERATING UNIT is advised by HUD,prior to the completion of
the re-qualification process for fiscal years 2015-2017,that it is eligible to become a metropolitan city and the
COOPERATING L1NIT elects to take its entitlement status. If the agreement is not voided on the basis of the
COOPERATING UNIT's eligibility as a metropolitan city prior to June 20,2014,the COOPERATING L7NIT must
remain a part of the COUNTY program for the entire three-year period of the COLJNTY quali�cation.
VII. OPINION OF COUNSEL

opines that the terms and provisions of the Agreement are fully authorized under State and local law and that the

Transportation and Amendment of License Agreement with Transmission Shop, Inc. for the
arkin lot at Cedar Avenue and Dia onal Boulevard.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve attached Amendment of Commercial Lease with
the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Amendment of
License Agreement with Transmission Shop, Inc. for the parking lot at
Cedar Avenue and Dia onal Boulevard.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2001 the City of Richfield (City) worked with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) to secure a commerciai lease for the construction of a
parking lot on excess MnDOT right-of-way. In return, the City leases the parking lot
to the Transmission Shop, Inc. (Transmission Shop) located at 6958 Cedar Avenue
to remedy a neighborhood parking problem that occurred from the relocation of the
business. The Transmission Shop constructed the parking 1ot and has paid the
taxes for the property since 2001. The parking lot has been successful in
remedying any parking problems that had existed in the neighborhood. The
agreement between all the parties has been successfully renewed every two-years
per MnDOT's request since 2001.
062414-Amed Comml Lease 6958 Cedar Trans Shop.docx
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• In August 2001 the City approved a Commercial Lease between the
City and MnDOT for the construction of a parking lot on excess right-
of-way land (45,750 sq. ft.) at approximately Cedar Avenue and
Diagonal Boulevard.
• At the same time, the City also approved a License Agreement
between the City and the Transmission Shop for the use of the
parking lot. The City pursued this arrangement with MnDOT as a way
to remedy neighborhood parking problems resulting from the
relocation of a transmission shop from 6409 Cedar Avenue to 6958
Cedar Avenue. The property located at 6409 Cedar Avenue was
acquired for the 66th Street/TH 77 Interchange bridge and ramp
project.
• The original Lease and License Agreements were set to expire on
June 30, 2006. The Lease and License Agreements were continued
via an amendment by the City Council in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012.
• The parking lot has been successful over the years, remedying any
parking problems in the area and the Transmission Shop is interested
in extending the License Agreement.
• MnDOT has provided an amendment to the Lease to extend it for
� another two years, after which time, additional extensions can be
considered. The License Agreement is also being extended for the
same term.
• Barring any redevelopment in the area or use of the excess land by
MnDOT, it is understood by all parties to the Lease and License
Agreements that the excess land can be used until at least 2016.
B. POLICY
• The original Commercial Lease and License Agreements allow for
term extensions.
• Amendments to the Lease and License Agreements are set for
another two years. Term extensions can be made once the proposed
term expires.
G CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• MnDOT could terminate the Lease if the subject land is needed for
highway purposes. Currently it continues to be considered excess
right-of-way.
• The City could terminate the Lease with MnDOT. However, the Lease
is tied to the License Agreement, which calls for use of the premises
until at least 2016. This date was set to protect the Transmission
Shop's business interests and to amortize the cost of construction of
the parking lot, which was borne by the business owner. The cost of
construction of the parking lot was $91,000.
D. FINANCIAL
• Neither Agreement calls for rent to be paid. The Transmission Shop's
construction of the improvements on the excess land was the
consideration for this transaction.
• Taxes are current and being paid by the business owner through a
personal property tax account. Taxes for 2014 are $14,645.73 and
disbursed by Hennepin County to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions.
• Maintenance and repair of the licensed premises are the
responsibiiities of the Transmission Shop.
E. LEGAL
• Kennedy and Graven prepared the original License and the
Amendment to the License Agreement for the City.
F. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
• N/A
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S�
• Do not extend the lease with MnDOT or License Agreement with the
Transmission Shop, Inc. However, parking could again become an issue for
the neighborhood.
V. ATTACHMENTS
• Amendment of Commercial Lease No. 5
