DETAILS Dates Posted: 1/19/2015 Date Closed: 2/23/2015 Question Type: Instant Poll Number of Votes: 84 Number sof Comments: 38 RESULTS ,ummary of results: Martin O.Sabo (3) Skyway (21) Charles Lindberg (27) Wold-Chamberlain (4) Other(see comments in Idea Report) (29) 4/23/2015 1 Richfield Connect Topic Summary, cont. Comments Comment 1 : 1 really like (Emily) Day Drive, for reasons practical and sentimental. I agree with previous comments that multiple Lindberg(h)'s with the airport may lead to unnecessary confusion. Comment 2: 1 agree with most of what Joe said. Naming an area gains value and adds a personal identity to this roadway. I also agree with David, the name has to be easy to say and remember. This is why I selected the Skyline choice. Btw, Lanes, are usually not long roads, Blvd is my preference. Comment 3: Lindberg Lane. Easy to say. Former Richfield resident. Provides a sense of place. Comment 4: Unfortunately, other than. giving vague concepts, the City did not go into the rational need for the name.change. This is not being done to simply spend tax dollars for a vanity project. The project is long over due to happen. This has quite a bit to do with: A). Marketing an underdeveloped business district (Hence "sense of place") that has significant redevelopment potential with a street unique street name. This would help strengthen and stabilize the City's fax base. B). Create one named street out of two (76th and 77th Street) and help end confusion by nonlocals (be nice the the newbies). Comment 5: 1 think adding commemorative signage along the road would be more effective 1 and cost-efficient. Could be a couple of signs along 77th going both directions noting it as "Chuck Lindberg Memorial Blvd," for example. Kind of like you see on a highway in memoriam of a police officer. Comment 6: Seriously, this is a solution in search of a problem. Drop it. Comment 7: These are all awful ideas; Skyway is only slightly better than the rest. Comment 8: 1 really hope that with whatever they name it, it doesn't become another road where bicycles are favored more than the cars and trucks that actually help pay for the costs of the roadway. Comment 9: 1 would like to put my vote in for Emily Day Drive. Comment 10: WHY are we even contemplating this? I've been a homeowner in Richfield for over 15 years and none of the selections means a thing to me. Why should we promote our proximity to the airport? It's evident that we're next to the.airport! To the people that selected these options: Be a little more creative if you're going to come up with a name that promotes our city! I also think it's costly: manufacturing of new signs, removing old signs, installing new signs, PR to inform everyone of the new name, etc. Does it change/improve the image of our fine city? NO. We have a great city that I am proud of; one that's easy to travel through and live in. Our good, healthy neighborhoods promote our city and that should be used in coming up with a good name that promotes our city. Please, come up with better ideas than trying to recognize PEOPLE from the OLD Richfield - move forward not back. Remember this is a story for future residents. Comment 11: @Lee: There are a number of exceptions to the Avenue/Street thing for named streets -- including Franklin Avenue, Riverside Avenue, or Parklawn Avenue in 4/23/2015 2 . ....................._______.. Richfield Connect Topic Summary, cont. ..............__............___.. Edina. Since "Boulevard" provides no navigational hints either, I'd just as soon go with Something Avenue -- but I guess "Street"would be even better. @Theresa: I totally agree with you about the long names, but I assume (hope?) that they're only listing full names in this question to give people the background. I assume it would only be the last name actually signed (Lindberg Blvd or Sabo Blvd, etc). Comment 12: 1 agree with the suggestion for Emily Day Blvd. Comment 13: Richfield's goal for renaming 77th Street is to establish a sense of place, similar to American Boulevard on the Bloomington side. Of the 4 proposed names, the first 3 full names will not give us that sense of place. The full names of individuals will not roll easily off the tongue and our community will have lost our one chance for that identity we are striving for. 2Skyway Boulevard may provide that identify, but may also confuse folks with the skyway system downtown Mpls. However, Lee M's comment above, shortening the first option to Lindberg Boulevard or Lindberg Lane would be most appropriate for the following reasons, 1) it's easy to say, 2) it identifies a former Richfield resident, 3) it identifies with the airport itself, and 4) it has the best chance of establishing a "sense of place". My vote would be for Lindberg Boulevard Comment 14: As a newer resident of Richfield, I would have to say that none of them are really appealing. I agree with the statement regarding Lindbergh and the terminal confusion. Drive sounds a bit more impressive as Boulevards are for cute, quiet streets and Parkways are bike friendly (another discussion I'd like to chime in on). Skyline is much better than Skyway; too much like the SkyMall (that's now going under because no one uses it anymore). If the goal is to establish a "sense of place" , Skyline might make sense (in-line with the airport). Or just leave it as-is. Save the memorials of people for parks and the green space that needs to be developed/ improved. Comment 15: To me, Lindbergh, makes sense, we need the 77 tunnel first. Skyline sounds more progressive but maybe too generic. Last name only? For ease. Btw, avenues run north and south here is avenue doesn't make sense to me. Comment 16: Fred A. Babcock, Jr. Boulevard Comment 17: How about Skyline Drive, Beltline Road, Skyway Ave, Byline Ave or combo thereof. Something more forward thinking, attractive and descriptive vs reflective and stuck in the past. We want to attract businesses and investment which in turn will bring more families and investment to the community. Comment 18: Chuck seems rather familiar? Perhaps Charles. I barely remember Wold Chamberlain, it seems a bit distant. I would not select Skyway, Charles Lindberg or Martin Sabo would be my choices. I am not sure the middle initials are required for either of those. Comment 19: Emily Day or Bartholomew Boulevard, after the first chairman of Richfield. Comment 20: 1 like the Emily Day tribute as well; I don't think there is anyone else in Richfield that has had that longevity and touched that many people doing it. Comment 21 : 1 like the Emily Day idea, put my vote in for that! Comment 22: Since there have been several suggestions of keeping it 77th (especially on the City's Facebook page), why not simply rename the shorter 76th St portion 77th"? This would achieve the goal of a unified name, and create no more confusion with 4/23/2015 3 Richfield Connect Topic Summary, cont. address number than created by a non-numbered name. There is only a short, three- block portion of 77th on the west side that would have to be 77th 1/2 or something. I would say that 77th itself could be a good brand, and it would mean that both Richfield's main streets would be palindromic -- 66th and 77th. Comment 23: Keep it as 77th Street......when the underpass is finally built what's wrong with saying "take 77th Street straight across to 34th Avenue". Comment 24: Keep it the same! Comment 25: Leave it as isHHH! I grew up in Richfield, and hearing it being changed to a boulevard just sounds absurd...perhaps because I like to think if nothing is wrong with it, then don't try to change it! Comment 26: Why not leave it as is? Sounds like Richfield has "boulevard" envy of Bloomington. Comment 27: BTW: We are looking at getting 76th Street between Cedar and 35W renamed "Babcock Parkway' and get a memorial sign on the corner of 76th Street and Lyndale Avenue, close to where he was killed in the line of duty. htfps://www.facebook.com/groups/babcockparkway/ Comment 28: BTW: We are looking at getting 76th Street between Cedar and 35W renamed "Babcock Parkway" and get a memorial sign on the corner of 76th Street and Lyndale close to where he was killed in the line of duty. Comment 29: Emily Day Boulevard The Twin Cities needs more streets named after strong female role models (nearly all are after men) and who better than someone how dedicated her life to service as a public school teacher and a strong community leader. Comment 30: There are so many syllables in suggested names other than Skyway Blvd which is a bit misleading for a Richfield thoroughfare. I like the Babcock suggestion. Skip the first name- Babcock Blvd Comment 31 : A skyway is something you pass through on your way to something else, not a meaningful destination. I'm not fond of any of these options and look forward to hearing something better come forward from the community. Comment 32: I'm on board with the others who suggested Fred Babcock Comment 33: "Essence... noun The basic, real, and invariable nature of a thing or its significant individual feature or features"So Chuck Lindbergh is the essence of Richfield? Martin Sabo? Give me a break. I'm also not sure why we're building a tunnel using fax payer dollars as well as renaming a street that effectively will dead end at Fort Snelling National Cemetary. Comment 34: Also: why are all the streets ending in boulevard? "Wold-Chamberlain Parkway" sounds catchier than "Wold Chamberlain Boulevard". Similarly, Sabo Street or Lindberg Avenue roll of the tongue a lot more easily than "Boulevard" Comment 35: The goal of Lindberg is a noble one, but naming a major street a mile from the airport after a different Charles Lindberg/h than the main terminal of that airport is immensely confusing. Comment 36: Either Emily Day or Fred Babcock. Comment 37: If not Chuck Lindberg please add Police officer Fred Babcock, the only 4/23/2015 4 Richfield ConnecIt Topic Summary, cont. Richfield police officer to have died in the line of duty. Comment 38: I'd suggest Emily Day Blvd in honor of the legendary Richfield school teacher who just passed away at age 101 . Comment 39: Minnesota Blvd. f "W �MJ 4/23/2015 5 Richfield Connect Topic Summary 101OVERVIEW Topic Question: Email Results - Rename 77th Description or Subtitle: The Richfield City Council is proposing to rename 77th Street/76th Street to better reflect the essence of our community. Much like American Blvd. in Bloomington. Reason or Goal of the Question: to establish a sense of place. DETAILS Dates Posted: 1/1/2015 Date Closed: 2/26/2015 Question Type: Email Number of Votes: 24 Number of Comments: # RESULTS Summary of results: expressed concerns regarding the potential expenses his business would incur if the street name were to change. He also asked the usual question of "Why do they want to do this?" Why would we spend money changing a name, signage, etc. when people will continue to refer to it as 77th? It makes no sense. The numerical progression makes Richfield easy to learn and navigate. We do not need to spend taxpayer dollars to stroke egos. Richfield resident, Sandra Bernardson (who lives on an impacted section of 76th St.), thinks the idea is a very bad idea. She opposes renaming the street. She asked for more information on how she and others would be affected by an address change. She said that the all of the suggested names are all too long for a street name. She also 4/23/2015 1 Richfield Connect Topic Summary, cont. doesn't like "boulevard." (she thinks the street looks nothing like a boulevard; there is nothing extraordinary about it). She also shared that she believes memorials are for parks, not streets. Finally, she said that renaming the street does not solve the problem (the problem that there are, essentially, two, separate 76th Streets-which is confusing). My vote is for Chuck Lindberg The Richfield Centennial committee in 2007 suggested to the council at that time Centennial Blvd be used for renaming 77th street and that we should not be naming the street after an individual. No action was taken by the council. Centennial Blvd would compliment the names American Blvd on the south arterial of Interstate 494 and Centennial Blvd as the North arterial in the area. I do not like any of your listed suggestions for the street. Please reconsider your choices. If a name change is necessary for the 77/76th street; I would favor honoring Martin Sabo. He had a profound influence on road construction and deserves recognition. I believe there is already significant recognition of Lindberg with the Veteran's Park Memorial. I like Skyway Dr. HOW ABOUT"RICHFIELD BOULEVARD" Can you please add this name to the list. It came from a Richfield resident. They had problems accessing the web site "International Blvd" Wasting Tax Payer Money Boulevard I cast my vote for Chuck Lindberg Boulevard. What a great way to honor a WWII Veteran. I vote to change the name of 77th Street to Skyway Boulevard In the beginning, Richfield was known as Richland. Why not rename the 77th street area "Richland Boulevard"? I would like to submit my ideas for the renaming of 77th St. First off, I would like to state that I am in my 40s and have been in the advertising and marketing industry for 18 years, working for various advertising agencies in the metro throughout my professional career. While I appreciate the city's attempt to give the new street name some meaning (i.e. naming for esteemed residents from the community), I feel that those names aren't in line with the city's identity. 4/23/2015 2 Richfield Connect Topic Summary, Cont. Before I get to my ideas, I want you to know that I ran the four ideas that the city came up with past my neighbors here on Newton Ave. These are the comments I received: Chuck Lindberg Boulevard: "Like the pilot?" "Why'd they shorten it to Chuck and not have it as Charles?" "is that supposed to be funny - Chuck- I don't get it?" As you can see, everyone I surveyed thought it was referencing Charles Lindbergh, so this would be way too confusing to people. Martin O. Sabo Boulevard: Not one single person ran this name past had any idea who he was (that include my 80 year old neighbors). I think this name is too obscure and doesn't have any meaning to the people of the city. Vold Chamberlain Boulevard: Again, this name doesn't mean anything to anyone I surveyed. One commenter joked, "Is that Wilt Chamberlain's brother?" Skyway Boulevard: I understand that this is referencing the proximity to MSP, but it's too vague to draw the connection for most people. Commenters either thought that this meant they were building some sort of skyway system (like in downtown Minneapolis) over the road or they got that it was talking about the airport but they weren't really keen on the name. Plus, really, do we want to be promoting the fact that we are SO close to the noisy airport? My idea is this: Our city was named for the rich soil that provided bountiful harvests to the farmers that first homesteaded this area. I feel that we need to play off of this theme. Especially in this day and age, when everyone is all about farm- to-table eating, using fresh, local organic produce, and doing their shopping at farmer's markets, etc. Any name you use that is reference to farming evokes in most people's mind an image of wholesomeness, healthiness, and happiness - all things that Richfield residents desire. My top two choices are: #1. Fieldstone Lane - I like this one the best because it incorporates the farming theme (you find fieldstones as you're working the land), plus it's a nod to the name Richfield, since it has the word Field in it. #2. Pristine Prairie Parkway - This is nice because it really speaks to the way this land was when it was settled Other Ideas: Blue Skies Boulevard (besides being a nature-related word, it also is a reference to the airport), Pioneer Parkway, Prairie Grass Parkway, Heritage Acres, Old Farm Road, Sunrise Drive, Harvest Lane, 10,000 Lakes Parkway (this is more of a nod to the state of Minnesota, but given the number of visitors we get each year due to the Mall of America, I think it ties in nicely and really promotes the state. Plus it just sounds great!). I hope these are some ideas that the City of Richfield will consider. Thank you for reading my message and passing it along to the appropriate people. Please cast my vote to change the name of 7711, Street to: Skyway Boulevard 4/23/2015 3 Richfield Connect Topic Summary, cont. 2 VOTES FOR CHUCK LINDBERGH BLVD! Our former neighbor and a very humble, deserving man/friend! My choice: Skyway Boulevard I vote for Skyward Boulevard Like the name Skyway Parkway Chuck Lindberg Boulevard Why do we have to change the name? As a lifelong resident of Richfield, I think that the Council is again trying to decide what's best for Richfield because the residents just aren't smart enough to know what WE want. Sounds to me like the Richfield City Council has "boulevard" envy of Bloomington. In the past few years we've had bike lanes forced upon us by the very same people. I can count the number of bicyclists that use Portland Ave in the winter without having to use an abacus. Is the cost of putting a bike lane on a Minnesota road really cost effective? I doubt it. It's just greedy planners standing in front of the Federal/State governments with their hands out. Stop with the penis envy. Wold Chamberlain Boulevard (in reference to the original airport adjoining Richfield) Keep the 77th Street name and use the funds, government employee time, and resources on something that will benefit the city more than renaming a street. This gives the impression that our city workers do not have enough to do and/or are not putting their efforts into things that really matter.

State statutes have established a more streamlined process for HRAs to act in this capacity. HRA legal counsel has provided a memorandum (attached) that provides further details on the HRA's roles and abilities related to the ownership, sale and leasing of publicly owned land. This memo further supports staffs recommendation that City-owned parcels intended for redevelopment be conveyed to the HRA. In recent years, staff has encountered situations in which portions of a redevelopment site are owned by the City while other portions are owned by the HRA. This is the case on the City Garage site and with much of the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment Area. Staff has also encountered situations where the City owns the site, but the HRA would act in partnership with potential non-profit developers for the solicitation of funding and other roles in the process. Often times, the applications from agencies that provide grant funding are written in a way that presumes the body applying for funds also owns the property. This is not the case with the City-owned properties south of the roundabout on Portland. For these reasons, staff is recommending that the City convey the properties it owns for the sole purpose of redevelopment to the HRA. A list of these properties is attached. The conveyance of the properties would result in a one-time expenditure (in the book value of the properties) to City accounts and commensurate revenue to HRA accounts. This transaction would be reflected in the 2015 financial reports for both the City and s ectf Ily submit Devic City anager SLD:jcs Email: Department Directors Assistant City Manager y� 470 US Bank Plaza erlrleC[V, 200 South Sixth Street Minneapolis MN 55402 sp (612)337-9300 telephone Greven (612)337-93 10 fax http://www.kennedy-graven.corn CHARTERED MEMORANDUM TO: John Stark Community Development Director City of Richfield FROM: Julie Eddington DATE: April 22, 2015 RE: HRA Holding Property for Future Redevelopment BACKGROUND The City of Richfield (the "City") is considering conveying property it currently holds for redevelopment to its Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA") to take advantage of the redevelopment abilities the HRA has under Minnesota law. You've asked for a brief summary of the HRA's redevelopment powers, which may provide a benefit to both the City and HRA if the properties designated for future redevelopment are transferred from City ownership to HRA ownership. HRA'S REDEVELOPMENT POWERS HRA has the broad powers to create and operate "redevelopment projects" pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sections 469.001 to 469.047 (the "HRA Act"). A redevelopment project can be any work or undertaking to acquire property in order to remove, prevent or reduce blight or blighting factors; construct utilities and site improvements essential to the preparation of sites for uses in accordance with the redevelopment plan; or sell or lease land for uses in accordance with a redevelopment plan. To redevelop properties within the City, in addition to the general powers of redevelopment set out above,the HRA has the power to, among other things: a. To undertake, prepare, carry out and operate projects and to provide for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, extension, alteration, or repair of any project or any part thereof. b. To give, sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of real or personal property or any interest therein, and to execute leases, deeds, conveyances, negotiable instruments,purchase agreement and other contracts or instruments. C. To carry out studies of the housing and redevelopment needs within the City and of the meeting those needs. d. To lease or rent land and buildings. e. To own, hold and improve real or personal property and to sell, lease, exchange, transfer, assign,pledge or dispose of any real or personal property. £ Establish and operate a commercial rehabilitation loan program. g. To make loans to a business, a for-profit or nonprofit organization, or an individual for any purpose that an HRA is otherwise authorized to carry out under the HRA Act. In addition to the powers described above, HRAs may establish tax increment financing districts (with City Council approval). Tax increment may be used to finance or otherwise pay "public redevelopment costs" pursuant to the HRA Act, including public infrastructure, land acquisition, site improvements, demolition, correction of soil conditions, and administrative expenses of the HRA.

Devich 4/23/2015 ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of the approval of the resolutions to adjust the City's Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) network. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Municipal State Aid (MSA) rules allow cities to adjust the designation of MSA routes within the city in order to maximize the annual MSA allotment (over$1.5M in 2015). City staff is recommending changes in the MSA route designation to maximize the City's annual MSA allotment under the new policy formula for the calculation of MSA Needs. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: 1. Adopt a resolution revoking Municipal State Aid Street designation from the following City streets: MSAS # Street Name Limits 157-106 67th Street 12th Avenue to Bloomington Avenue 157-113 70th Street Bloomington Avenue to 18th Avenue 157-113 18th Avenue 70th Street to Diagonal Boulevard 157-360 70th Avenue Penn Avenue to Humboldt Avenue 157-365 Upton Avenue 70th Street to 66th Street 157-366 Humboldt Avenue 75th Street to 69th Street 157-371 68th Street Lyndale Avenue to Portland Avenue 2. Adopt a resolution for Municipal State Aid Street designation of the following City streets: MSAS # Street Name Limits 157-101 Vincent Avenue 70th Street to 66th Street 157-114 Diagonal Boulevard Bloomington Avenue to 18th Avenue 157-353 69th Street Penn Avenue to Humboldt Avenue 157-361 76th Street 77th Street to Portland Avenue 157-374 75th Avenue Penn Avenue to Humboldt Avenue 157-375 Newton Avenue 76th Street to 75th Street 157-376 Sheridan Avenue 66th Street to 65th Street BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT Municipal State Aid Street Designation Municipal State Aid (MSA) rules state that 20% of city streets are eligible for designation as MSA routes. Proposed Needs Map Adjustments The Needs Map adjustments are proposed to maximize the annual allotment. These changes are suggested primarily because of the following: • The MSA Needs system formula was changed in 2014 so that all designated streets earn continual "Needs", based on traffic volumes. The number of traffic signal legs present on the route also increases the apportionment. • Under the previous formula only streets over 20 years old earned "Needs". System Revision Procedure Staff submits a letter to the District State Aid Engineer(DSAE) requesting approval of system revisions. The DSAE and the MSAS Needs Unit review the proposed revisions and approves or denies the request. If approved, a City Council Resolution is required to make the changes. The proposed changes outlined in the proposed resolutions were approved by the DSAE on April 20, 2015. Once adopted, the resolutions are sent to the DSAE for final approval of the MSAS system revisions by the Commissioner of Transportation of the State of Minnesota. B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, exc): City Council resolutions are required by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Office of State Aid for requesting the revocation and designation of Municipal State Aid Streets. C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES: The resolution requesting changes to the MSAS system is due by May 1, 2015 to be included in this year's MSAS Needs. D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed changes are expected to maximize the City's Municipal State Aid allotment. E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: N/A ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S): The Council may choose to not adopt the attached resolutions. However, that would reduce the 2016 Annual MSAS Allotment.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the resolution authorizing the acceptance of the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) reimbursement grant in the amount of$1,500 for the purchase of a traffic count video camera. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT • Using a previous SHIP grant, the City purchased the CountCam traffic count system in 2012 which included two black and white cameras. • The 2012 SHIP grants allowed the Cities of Edina and Bloomington to purchase the same systems. • In order to get timely and comparable counts of all modes of traffic around the City, the three cities have lent each other an extra camera on occasion. • Seeing the need for a full time third camera in each city, SHIP approached staff with the reimbursement grants to purchase an additional camera. • The new camera will be color and feature a wide angle lens which will aid in counts at large intersections. • The count system can be used for a wide variety of traffic data collection drastically reducing the staff time required to collect the information compared to in-person collection methods. B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, exc): • Minnesota Statue 465.03 requires all donations to be accepted by resolution of the council and adopted by two-thirds majority of its members. C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES: • Staff will be completing several traffic counts associated with upcoming road projects. D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: • The donation does not impact the City's budget. E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: • The City Attorney has reviewed the resolution and will be available if there are questions. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S): • Council may choose not to approve the resolution, which would void the acceptance of the grant. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING: None ATTACHMENTS: Description Type D SHIP Grant Resolution Resolution Letter RESOLUTION NO.

Debbie Goettel, Mayor ATTEST: Elizabeth VanHoose, City Clerk AGENDA SECTION: PROPOSED ORDINANCES AGENDA ITEM# 7. STAFF REPORT NO. 63 d, CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4/28/2015 0 REPORT PREPARED BY: Melissa Poehlman, City Planner DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: John Stark, Community Development Director 4/20/2015 OTHER DEPARTMENT REVIEW: None CITY MANAGER REVIEW: Steven L. Devich 4/23/2015 ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of requests for a resolution for a Comprehensive Plan amendment, second reading of an ordinance regarding rezoning and a resolution for a final development plan/conditional use permit for a planned unit development that would allow construction of a new Audi car dealership along Interstate 494. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: International Autos Group ("Applicant") has entered into a Purchase Agreement for the properties located at 1400, 1420 and 1500-78th Street East and 7711-7th Avenue. The applicant proposes to combine the parcels, demolish the existing structures and construct a new$13 million, three-story Audi car dealership and separate parking ramp. The applicant is requesting a change to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations in order to make this possible. Regulations in the 1-494 Corridor were established in order to provide for, and take advantage of, opportunities that the visibility along the Interstate could provide - opportunities including an increased and diversified tax base and increased employment. The Corridor Plan established guiding principles that were intended to create an attractive, dense, walkable and green edge along the City's southern boundary. As part of the 2005 Corridor planning study, market consultants suggested that retail alone in Richfield's 1-494 Corridor would be difficult to sustain due to competition from the Mall of America, Southdale Mall and existing businesses on the south side of the Interstate. Sites designated as Regional Commercial/Office were reduced to those in areas near existing or anticipated major transportation access points (Penn Avenue, Lyndale Avenue, Portland Avenue and immediately adjacent to an anticipated 77th Street underpass). The properties in question are one block east of a regionally-designated area. The proposed project is substantially compliant with City requirements; only minor deviations have been requested. The project includes buildings that provide attractive views from both 77th Street and the freeway and meet the siting and design requirements of the Code. The main building fronts on and provides direct access from 77th Street, avoids large blank walls and utilizes high-quality building materials. The proposal also addresses the significant pedestrian and landscaping desires expressed by the Code and Comprehensive Plan, through the inclusion of quasi-public amenities like sidewalks on all four sides of the property, and a more than 11,000 square-foot plaza and landscaped area. The proposal also includes four electric vehicle charging stations that will be available to the public. On-site pervious area will more than double and will exceed minimum requirements - a rare occurrence for a commercial development. The applicant has requested a phased approach to site build-out in order to better evaluate the size of the parking ramp. At a minimum, the applicant will construct a two-story ramp; however, based on inventory and service needs, this could be increased to four stories. The City has been approached by a team of development representatives who would like to be the "master developers" in this particular corridor of the City. Development team representatives Dean Dovolis and Theresa Carr have stated that the proposed Audi dealership would be compatible with their plans. A public hearing to consider the proposal was held before the Planning Commission on March 23rd. Notice of the public hearing was sent to the surrounding properties, including the individual apartments in the building immediately adjacent to the site and the single-family properties north of the 77th Street sound wall. No members of the public attended the hearing or have submitted comments related to the proposal. The Planning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend approval of all the recommended actions. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: 1) Approve the resolution authorizing a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the designation of 1400, 1420 and 1500-78th Street East and 7711-14th Avenue from High-Density Residential/Office to Regional Commercial; and 2) Approve the second reading of an ordinance amending Appendix 1 to the Richfield City Code by rezoning 1400, 1420 and 1500-78th Street East and 7711-14th Avenue from Mixed Use - Community to Planned Mixed Use; and 3) Approve the resolution authorizing a Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit and Final Development Plan to construct a multi-story automobile dealership and parking ramp at 1400, 1420 and 1500-78th Street East and 7711-14th Avenue. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The properties located at 1400, 1420 and 1500-78th Street East and 7711-14th Avenue currently include tenants 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment and Ace Rent-A-Car; the other properties (formerly Airport Bowl and The Backyard Bar and Grill) have both been vacant for more than five years and have fallen into disrepair. The Comprehensive Plan currently guides these properties for High-Density Residential/Office use and the associated zoning is Mixed Use- Community. Prior to the adoption of the 1-494 Corridor Plan in 2005, these properties were guided for Regional Commercial/Office use and zoned General Business (C-2). B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, exc): Comprehensive Plan: In 2005, the City adopted an 1-494 Corridor Master Plan which has since been incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Plan was to help ensure the continued investment in and future vitality of the corridor. Regional Commercial designations were limited due to a perceived saturation of the retail market in this area. Regional retail was not identified as an undesirable use, but rather was not seen as a viable option at this location. A car dealership is a unique type of regional retail to which the general rules used to construct the Corridor Plan may not be applicable. State Law and specific franchise requirements largely dictate the location of dealerships and dealerships are a definitive example of"destination retail." The destination component of the proposed use makes regional commercial development possible in this location. Additionally, the City has received a preliminary pledge of funding and is moving forward with a plan to construct the long-awaited 77th Street underpass. This increased access and the potential regional traffic that could now travel along this section of roadway makes it reasonable to reconsider the designation of properties in this area. Staff believes that a regional commercial development is compatible with the City's vision for the area and would not be detrimental to future redevelopment. Zoning: The Mixed Use Zoning Districts and associated regulations were created to implement the Master Plan vision. These properties are currently zoned Mixed Use -Community and would not allow automobile sales. The applicant has requested a change in zoning to a Planned Unit Development District- Planned Mixed Use-which would be consistent with the requested Comprehensive Plan amendment. Planned Unit Developments are intended to encourage the efficient use of land and resources and to encourage innovation in planning and building. In exchange for these efficiencies and superior design, flexibility in the application of dimensional requirements is available. There are a number of different sets of review criteria that apply to this proposal. A full discussion of all requirements is included as an attachment to this report. The following variations from standard requirements are requested: • Building Coverage -Without the multi-story parking ramp, the proposal offers building coverage of 29 percent of the site. Minimum required building coverage in the Mixed Use- Regional District is 50 percent. Coverage would increase to an estimated 44 percent upon construction of the parking ramp (assumes 24,300 sq.ft. footprint). The applicant could construct a two-story ramp now; however, would prefer to wait and assess their needs once open for business. The applicant has indicated that a ramp would be constructed within five years and is open to a stipulation requiring as much. For reference, current combined building coverage is less than 18 percent and the nearby Honda/Mitsubishi site will cover 41 percent of the site once the parking ramp is constructed. • Setbacks - • The main building exceeds the maximum side setback along 14th Avenue; however, the proposed design nicely separates parking lots such that there are no huge expanses of pavement. The site design significantly improves compliance with all setbacks regulations from current conditions. The 15-foot buffer yard requirement adjacent to the apartments to the east is met. Due to the location of a large storm sewer pipe, the buildings cannot be flipped such that this larger setback would abut the apartment property. • A 15-foot landscape buffer is required along 1-494. The proposed buffer yard within the applicant's property boundary ranges from approximately five feet to eight feet; however, there is an unusually large boulevard along this southern edge. Over 18 feet of grass currently exist between the property line and the sidewalk on 78th Street. The applicant has proposed to expand their landscaping into this large boulevard area. Mn-DOT has reviewed preliminary plans and no issues are anticipated. • Sign height-The applicant is proposing one freestanding sign along 1-494 that would exceed the 27-foot District maximum. The proposed sign would be 33-feet tall and is requested in order to be better proportioned with the 48-foot high building facades. For reference, this increase is less than that which was approved for the Honda dealership. • Lighting -The proposed lighting exceeds City maximums; however, it is significantly lower than typical auto dealership lighting and is similar to that which was approved for Honda. The photometric plan shows that no light from the dealership will spill over to the north side of 77th Street. Decorative pedestrian lighting along the path on the east side of the site pushes light levels over the one footcandle limit at the shared residential property line. The applicant is willing to remove pathway lighting; however, Public Safety recommends its installation. The applicant intends to install dimmable fixtures that can further lower light levels if they become a nuisance. Staff recommends that a stipulation of approval require the parking lot lights to be dimmed to meet City standards between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. daily. Fixture selection will continue to be evaluated by staff and only full cut-off fixtures shall be permitted for non-decorative lighting. • Shadows -There are no specific requirements related to solar access for multi-family properties; however, in the interests of full disclosure, staff asked the applicant to submit a shadow study for the summer and winter solstice. The parking structure will increase shadows significantly over a portion of the apartment parcel. C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES: 60-DAY RULE: The 60-day clock 'started' when a complete application was received on March 9, 2015. A decision is required by May 8, 2015 OR the Council must notify the applicant that it is extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total) for issuing a decision. D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: • City staff estimates that the proposed redevelopment would result in between $80,000 and $128,000 in additional tax revenue annually for the City. • City staff estimates that a mixed-use high-density residential/office development would result in approximately $70,000 in additional tax revenue annually. • An explanation of calculations and assumptions used to estimate taxes is provided as an attachment to this report. E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: • A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on March 23, 2015 . • Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current newspaper and mailed to properties (including individual apartments)within 350 feet of the site. • No members of the public spoke before the Planning Commission. • The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments and site plans (6-0). • A Comprehensive Plan amendment requires a four-fifths majority vote by the City Council. Amendments must also be approved by the Metropolitan Council. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S): Deny one or more of the requests with findings.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 28th day of April, 2015. Debbie Goettel, Mayor ATTEST: Elizabeth VanHoose, City Clerk Exhibit A Legal Descriptions Parcel A: That part of the West 175 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, lying North of the South 339.5 feet thereof, Section 35, Township 28, Range 24, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and Parcel B: The South 339.5 feet of the West 175 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 35, Township 28, Range 24, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and Parcel C: The East 125 feet of the West 300 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 35, Township 28, Range 24, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and Parcel D: The Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, except the East 198 feet and except the West 300 feet thereof, of Section 35, Township 28, Range 24, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Required Findings Part 1: Development proposals in the Mixed Use Districts shall be reviewed for compliance with the following (537.01, Subd.2): 1. Consistency with the elements and objectives of the City's development guides, including the Comprehensive Plan and any redevelopment plans established for the area. The applicant has applied for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan that would change the designation of the property from High-Density Housing/Office to Regional Commercial. The intent of the 1-494 Corridor study and resulting plan was to help ensure the continued investment in and future vitality of this area. It was meant to establish guiding principles that would help create an attractive, dense, walkable and green edge along the City's southern boundary. Regulations were intended to provide for and take advantage of opportunities that the visibility along the Interstate could provide- advantages related to an increased and diversified tax base and increased employment opportunity. Regional Commercial designations were limited due to a perceived saturation of the retail market in this area. While this area was seen as marginal for typical regional retail and therefore guided for housing and office use, the destination component of the proposed use makes regional commercial development possible. Additionally, the City has received funding and is moving forward with a plan to construct the long-awaited 77th Street underpass. This increased access and the potential regional traffic that could now travel along this section of roadway makes it reasonable to reconsider the designation of properties in this area and change the guiding of these properties. 2. Consistency with the regulations of the Mixed Use Districts as described by Section 537 of the Code. The proposed development meets the intent of the Mixed Use District regulations. There are both general Mixed Use District regulations and specific criteria that apply to automobile sales businesses and auto-mechanical shops. The proposal deviates from regulations as follows: • Building coverage—Without the multi-story parking ramp, the proposal offers building coverage of 29 percent of the site. Minimum required building coverage in the Mixed Use—Regional District is 50 percent. Building coverage would increase to an estimated 44 percent upon construction of the parking ramp (assumes 24,300 sq.ft. footprint). The applicant could construct a two-story ramp now; however, would prefer to wait and assess their needs once open for business. The applicant has indicated that a ramp would be constructed within five years and is open to a stipulation requiring as much. Current combined building coverage is less than 18 percent. • Setbacks— • The main building exceeds the maximum side setback along 14th Avenue; however, the proposed design nicely separates parking lots such that there are no huge expanses of pavement. The site design significantly improves compliance with all setback regulations from current conditions. The 15-foot buffer yard requirement adjacent to the apartments to the east is met. • A 15-foot landscape buffer is required along 1-494. The proposed buffer yard within the applicant's property boundary ranges from approximately five feet to eight feet; however, there is an extremely large boulevard along this southern edge. Over 18 feet of grass currently exist between the property line and the sidewalk on 78th Street. The applicant has proposed to expand their landscaping into this large boulevard area. Mn-DOT has reviewed preliminary plans and no issues are anticipated. 3. Creation of a design for structures and site features which promotes the following: i. An internal sense of order among the buildings and uses. The location of buildings, drives, amenities and walkways provide a safe and accessible site that will adequately serve everything from large tractor- trailer delivery trucks to pedestrians. ii. The adequacy of vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width or interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. See above (i). iii. Energy conservation through the design of structures and the use of landscape materials and site grading. The proposal includes a number of sustainable elements including the specific heating and cooling system that will be used, greatly increased pervious areas and high-efficiency lighting. iv. The minimization of adverse environmental effects on persons using the development and adjacent properties. The proposal includes improved buffering and landscaping along property boundaries, a quasi- public plaza and walkway in addition to removing a number of blighted buildings. Part 2: The following findings are necessary for approval of a PUD application (542.09 Subd. 3): 1. The proposed development conforms to the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and any applicable redevelopment plans. See above— Part 1,#1. 2. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries. See above— Part 1,#3. 3. The development is in substantial conformance with the purpose and intent of the guiding district, and departures from the guiding district regulations are justified by the design of the development. The development is in substantial compliance with the intent of the guiding Mixed Use Districts. Minor deviations from Mixed Use and Performance Standard regulations have been allowed in exchange for superior quasi-public amenities and to accommodate project staging needs. All deviations are consistent with the intent of the MU District regulations. 4. The development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets or other public facilities and utilities that serve or area proposed to serve the development. The City's Public Works, Engineering and Recreation Departments have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any issues. 5. The development will not have undue adverse impacts on neighboring properties. Site improvements are expected to improve overall conditions in this area. Upon construction of the multi-story parking ramp, shadows will be cast onto the property to the east. The Code does not provide specific protections for multi-family developments in regard to solar access iand the buildings a oriented s 6h that n windows fa6e the east-.[ The overall impact ,- Comment[MP1]:Therein windows fa6ng east. of the project is expected to be positive. 6. The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity of the plan are sufficient to protect the public interest. The final development plan, which establishes the terms and conditions of the development, meets this requirement. Part 3: All uses are conditional uses in the PMU District. The findings necessary to issue a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)are as follows (Subd. 547.09, Subd. 6): 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. See above— Part 1, #1. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. The use is consistent with the intent of the Planned Mixed Use District and the underlying Mixed Use Districts. The proposal provides a "destination oriented commercial" use at what will be a significantly increased level of density/intensity. The site plan includes pedestrian-oriented building siting, improved landscaping, and attractive public and private spaces with a pedestrian and bicycle friendly character. 3. The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment plans or urban design guidelines. The proposal includes additional pedestrian lighting called for as part of the 77th Street Corridor. 4. The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance standards specified in Section 544 of this code. The proposed development is in substantial compliance with City performance standards. Deviation from Code requirements is requested as follows: • Sign height—The applicant is proposing one freestanding sign along 1-494 that would exceed the 27-foot District maximum. The proposed sign would be 33-feet tall and is requested in order to be better proportioned with the 48-foot high building facades. This increase is less than that which was approved for the Honda dealership. • Lighting -The proposed lighting exceeds City maximums; however, it is significantly lower than typical auto dealership lighting and is similar to that which was approved for Honda. The photometric plan shows that no light from the dealership will spill over to the north side of 77th Street. Decorative pedestrian lighting along the path on the east side of the site pushes light levels over the 1 footcandle limit at the shared residential property line. The applicant is willing to remove pathway lighting; however, Public Safety recommends its installation. The applicant intends to install dimmable fixtures that can further lower light levels if they become a nuisance. Staff recommends that a stipulation of approval require the lights to be dimmed to meet City standards between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. daily. Fixture selection will continue to be evaluated by staff and only full cut-off fixtures shall be permitted for non-decorative lighting. 5. The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. The City's Public Works and Engineering Departments have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any adverse impacts. 6. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare. Adequate provisions have been made to protect the public health, safety and welfare. 7. There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. The City's long-term plans call for dense, walkable, well-landscaped development along the 1-494 Corridor. The existing sites have a significant amount of deferred maintenance and it would be a benefit to the City to redevelop this area. 8. The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this code for the granting of such conditional use permit. This requirement is met.

Phone: 612-377-3333 227 Colfax Avenue North Fax: 612-377-7337 Suite 100 Minneapolis, MN 55405 On Behalf of Mr. Tom Dexter Thdexkaol.com Mr. Ralph Mauro Gesualdo Rmauro33(c�aol.com Mr. Francis Mauro Francis e,iaorlandopark.com International Autos Group Phone; 414-543-3000 2400S. 108th St. Milwaukee, WI 53227 Site: The property is located at 1400, 1420, 1500 78th Street East and 7711 14`h Avenue South. These are 4 properties include a vacant restaurant, a vacant bowling alley, a retail outlet store and a small building with a rental car agency. Some of the parking is used for vehicle storage believed associated with the car rental agency. The four properties will be re-plated as one lot consisting of 163,135 square feet after additional ROW is dedicated to the city. There is a 20' wide stoim sewer easement extending the entire length of the property in the north south direction. The easement is located east of the center line of the new lot. Proposed Uses and Phases: The proposed uses include a new automobile dealership with new and pre-owned vehicle sales and service. There will be an urban laza with a water feature and a variety of seating and tables. The plaza will be accessed from 77t' Street E as well as a new pathway connecting 78th Street E to the plaza and 77th Street. Three parking spaces with public charging stations for electric vehicles (EV) also provided. 1 Audi Terminal- Richfield Narrative Revised March 9, 2015 Phase One of this project will include constructing a new three story 94,623 square foot automobile dealership building on the west side of the lot. The urban plaza and the public EV charging stations will also be completed as part of Phase One. Phase One will start construction in the summer of 2015 with approval and will complete in the late spring of 2016. Phase Two will add a parking structure with a minimum of 48,600 square foot and two stories on the east portion of the site. This parking facility may have more than two stories and additional service stalls as the business needs are evaluated. Construction of Phase Two is planned for 3 to 5 years after Phase One. Zoning& Comprehensive Plan: The property is currently guided for High Density Res/Office. The applicant is requesting that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to a Regional Commercial designation. This is consistent with the Regional Commercial about one-half block to the east. It is also consistent with the expected extension of 77th Street under Cedar Avenue. The current zoning for the properties is Mixed Use—Community. The applicant is requesting the zoning be changed to Planned Mixed Use. Development Plan.- The lan:The development plan will have 43.6% total site coverage when the Phase Two parking structure is completed. This is a deviation from the 50% standard. The green space on the site exceeds the 15% standard at more than 17% including the pervious Urban Plaza. The green space alone is 11.57% of the site. There is a total reduction of impervious surface on the site of approximately '/4 acre. Pat-king: Parking is as shown on the site plan. The applicant has calculated the current needs and finds they will be met at the opening. The planned Phase Two parking structure will insure the future needs are met. Phasing the parking structure will allow it to be built with more floors as needed. Site Lighting: The site lighting is shown on the lighting plan with the photometrics. The lighting is designed to minimize the impact on the neighboring properties. State of the art LED lighting by LSI Industries will be utilized. Each pole is individually controllable and dimmable. This lighting can be seen at the Lincoln dealership parking lot on the south side of I-494. Street lighting has been shown along 77 h Street using the city required poles and fixtures. The pathway lighting along the path on the east side of the property can be omitted or dimmed as desired to minimize spill to the adjacent property. Audi Terminal- Richfield Narrative Revised March 9, 2015 Signage: A signage plan with has been submitted for approval. The signage would comply with the zoning ordinance for Regional Commercial except that the Brand Pylon on the south side of the property is 32'10"high which exceeds the 27' allowable.

STAFF REPORT NO. 64 d, CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4/28/2015 0 REPORT PREPARED BY: Melissa Poehlman, City Planner DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: John Stark, Community Development Director 4/20/2015 OTHER DEPARTMENT REVIEW: None CITY MANAGER REVIEW: Steven L. Devich 4/23/2015 ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Consideration of the second reading of an ordinance amending the City Code and a resolution for an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit for Richfield High School. The proposed Code amendment would conditionally permit school-based health centers as accessory uses within currently operating schools. A school-based health center is proposed for Richfield High School; approval of an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit is required. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Richfield Public Schools has requested a text amendment to the Zoning Code that would allow school- based health centers within public and/or private schools. The proposed ordinance would conditionally permit school-based health centers as an accessory or subordinate use to existing schools so long as certain conditions related to size, hours of operation, parking, and signage are met. The Richfield School District is proposing to develop a 2,200 square foot health center at Richfield High School. The proposed plan meets all of the proposed conditions of the ordinance. Five staff members are anticipated during peak periods and nine additional parking stalls shall be added to the parking lot immediately adjacent to the health center. Staff recommends an alternate design to accommodate this additional parking; a design that would involve only re-striping of the existing lot as opposed to the paving of additional area. Anticipated hours of operation for the health center are from noon - 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By motion: 1) Approve the second reading of an ordinance amending the Richfield City Code to allow accessory school-based health centers as a conditional use; 2) Approve the resolution authorizing summary publication of an Ordinance amendment to allow accessory school-based health centers as a conditional use; and 3) Approve the resolution approving an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit at 7001 Harriet Avenue (Richfield High School) to allow a school-based health center. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The purpose of the proposed Richfield High School health center is to improve student access to affordable health care services. Primary health care along with dental, vision and mental health services would be provided. According to the attached "Case Statement" provided by the applicant, school-based health centers are considered one of the most effective and efficient ways to provide needed health care to children. Similar school-based health centers operate in Brooklyn Center and St. Louis Park. While the primary focus is on students, the clinic would be open to all children (and their families)within the District. Most schools within the City are located within residential districts which would not currently permit a medical clinic. B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, exc): The proposed text amendment is intended to allow school-based health centers with limitations that will ensure compatibility with surrounding residential development. Summary of proposed Ordinance: School-based health centers shall be permitted as an accessory use to existing schools with the following conditions: • The health center must primarily serve students; • In residential districts, hours of operation may not extend beyond the regular operational hours of the school by more than one hour in the morning and 6:00 p.m. in the evening; • Total square footage of the health center may not exceed 3,000 square feet or 10 percent of the total building square footage, whichever is less; Designated parking equal to staff plus one per exam room must be provided and identified for clinic use; • Signs: In residential zones, sign area and height may not exceed the limits set for the MR-2 and MR- 3 Zoning Districts per Subsection 549.23. Total square footage of freestanding signage for the property shall remain limited to 100 square feet. In commercial and mixed use zones, sign area and height may not exceed limits set for nonresidential uses per Subsection 549.23. Total square footage of freestanding signs shall be governed by the underlying zoning district. A full discussion of all requirements necessary for the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, per Subsection 547.09, Subdivision 6 and a detailed discussion of compliance with the proposed regulations has been provided as an attachment to this report. C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES: 60-DAY RULE: The 60-day clock'started'when a complete application was received on March 9, 2015. A decision is required by May 8, 2015 OR the Council must notify the applicant that it is extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total)for issuing a decision. D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: • A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on March 23, 2015 . • Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current newspaper and mailed to properties within 350 feet of the site. • No members of the public spoke before the Planning Commission. • The Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinance (6-0). • A first reading of the proposed ordinance was held and approved by the Council on April 14, 2015.

Students and families have reported specific needs for health services to address immediate health needs, pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease prevention, and support for mental and emotional health. An advisory group has been established to discuss needs; identify potential resources and partnerships; and explore models of best practice.The following case statement outlines the information that is known and provides direction for future work. Vision Statement Accessible and affordable healthcare is available to all Richfield youth, infancy through high school,through a school-based health center operated at Richfield High School. Richfield School-Based Health Center Advisory Group Marie Abele—Graduation Specialist, Richfield High School Phoebe Anderson—School Nurse Richfield High School & District Health Services Coordinator Eric Paulson -Assistant Secondary Principal, Richfield High School Cassie Acostacano—Counselor, RCEP Christina Gonzalez- Director of Student Support Services, Richfield School District Michael Schwartz - Richfield District Business Manager Nikki Monette—Health Educator,The Family Partnership Rita Molestina—Health Educator, Planned Parenthood MN, ND, SD Lisa Turnham -TP3 Project Manager, Hennepin County Libby Lincoln - Program Officer, Park Nicollet Foundation Rita Cortese, M.D.— Medical Director, Park Nicollet School-Based Health Centers Molly Snuggerud - Family Health Program Manager, Bloomington Public Health Rationale Our goal of the Richfield SBHC is to provide resolution of students' health care needs that may impact their educational achievement. School-based health centers are considered by experts as one of the most effective and efficient ways to provide needed health care to children. Few programs are as successful in delivering health care to children at no cost or little cost to the patient, and where they are, in school (Children's Aid Society, 2014). Schools- based health centers (SBHCs) ensure that students can be treated for acute illnesses, get a flu shot, have an annual physical, or speak to a mental health counselor—all in a safe, affordable, easily-accessible location. Many SBHCs also offer dental, vision and hearing screening as well as health education. SBHCs Positively Impact Student's Health • SBHCs increase access to health care. • SBHC users are likely to use primary care - both medical and behavioral health - more consistently. • SBHC users are more likely to have yearly dental and medical check-ups. • SBHC users are less likely to go to the emergency room or be hospitalized. Source: www.sbh4all.org With an emphasis on early intervention, school-based health centers prevent health issues from becoming acute concerns at home or in the emergency room. As a result, students receive healthcare when they need it, miss fewer school days (and parents miss fewer days at work), and academic performance improves. SBHCs Positively Impact Student's Educational Achievement • SBHCs have demonstrated positive impact on absences, dropout rates, disciplinary problems and other academic outcomes. • Students receiving SBHC mental health services improve their grades more quickly than their peers. • States with SBHCs that serve as Medicaid providers have higher student achievement results. Source: www.sbh4all.org Need The following overview provides data on the city of Richfield and the Richfield School District.This data demonstrates that the Richfield community is diverse and has a large number of families in poverty. Sources: www.city-data.com and Richfield School District. City of Richfield Population 26,307 = Number of Family Households in District $50,352 = Median Household 13%of residents living in poverty 20%of residents are foreign born District Enrollment (Richfield Residents) = 3865 out of 5275 students living within the district (73% Market Share) Richfield Public Schools(Enrollment) Total District Enrollment (4,405) 32% EL's/LEP Enrollment Richfield High School: 9-12 (1,130) 63% Free & Reduced Lunch Richfield Middle School: 6-8 (917) Student race/ethnicity: STEM (748) 37% Latino Centennial: K-5 (479) 31%White Sheridan Hills: K-5 (505) 18% Black Richfield Dual Language: K-8 (463) 7%Asian RCEP (43) 1%American Indian ECSE (103) 6% 2 or More Races Transitions (17) Comparing the above population data with state data on health insurance, it is evident that there are many Richfield families at risk for being uninsured and underinsured. For example,the Latino and foreign-born populations in Richfield are larger than the statewide average. And, according to statewide data, Latino and foreign-born individuals have much lower rates of health insurance coverage. Source: M D H, 2013 Minnesota Population Uninsurance Rates Latino 35% Foreign Born 26% Proposed Model In collaboration with Richfield district staff the Richfield SBHC will incorporate the common characteristics of quality SBHCs: • Located on school grounds at Richfield High School • Work cooperatively within the district to become an integral part of the school environment • Provide a comprehensive range of services that meet the specific physical and behavioral health needs of the young people in the community • Employ a multidisciplinary team of providers to care for the students: physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, educators and other health professionals • Provide clinical services through a qualified health provider • Require parents/guardians to sign written consent for their children to receive the full scope of services provided at the SBHC, except confidential services provided under Minnesota "Minors Consent" law • Have an advisory board that includes community representatives, parents,youth, and family organizations,to provide planning and oversight The following healthcare services will be provided at the Richfield SBHC: • Medical • Mental Health • Dental • Vision • Health Insurance Referrals Cost Build Out: The health center will be located in the lower level of Richfield High School. The space needs to be reconfigured for appropriate clinical use. The District has offered the space,the build out costs need to be subsidized through community grants and/or partnerships. Operations: Richfield District will provide support for daily operations costs (i.e.telephone lines, internet access, utilities, waste disposal, and accessible parking) Clinical Services:The partner health providers would support the provision and maintenance of health services. Staffing: A dedicated part-time staff position is imperative for success with the clinic start-up and long- term management and coordination.This position could be supported through grant funds but should be a district position. Sustainability According to the National School-based Health Alliance -sustainable SBHCs share three common characteristics: 1. Develop and nurture strong partnerships with school and community stakeholders committed to SBHCs. 2. Create a sound business model that relies on a variety of stable and predictable funding sources. 3. Operate health care practices that meet the comprehensive needs of students and demonstrate a high quality practice. In an effort to work towards sustainability, even in this early phase of development planning,the Richfield SBHC Advisory Group has considered the following to respond to the above sustainability characteristics. Partners from non-profit and government organizations are engaged in the Advisory Group. A larger representation from Richfield business leaders, faith-organizations, parents, and youth will serve on the Community Advisory Board to strengthen partnerships in all levels of the community. The Richfield SBHC Advisory Group has explored the Health Resource Center at Brooklyn Center Schools as a model for replication. The Brooklyn Center Health Resource Center(HRC) has been successful at raising necessary funds for clinic operations and overhead costs. Efforts are being explored to garner similar partnerships and resources to support efforts in Richfield. One unique consideration for sustainability is that as a result of services provided at the Brooklyn Center HRC, families are choosing to enroll and remain in the school district as a result of the accessible and affordable care provided in the HRC. Richfield will work to model the services and care provided so that Richfield families choose to enroll students in the Richfield District Schools. In regards to patient utilization, if the Richfield clinic were to perform as the BCHRC has,the following clinic visits and dental visits could be estimated. Clinic Clinic Visits Dental Visits District Student Enrollment Brooklyn 875 1,235 Center (actual) (actual) 1,700 Richfield 2202 3215 4,405 (estimated) (estimated) The Richfield SBHC will abide by the highest standards of pediatric health care practice, including standards of best practice for provision of adolescent health care services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: City staff has completed labor negotiations with the International Association of Firefighters Local 1215 (Union). This was the last of the four union contracts settled for the 2015 calendar year. The provisions of the one year contract cover all twenty-five employees represented in this unit. The tentative settlement provides a wage adjustment of 2.25%, effective the first full pay period of January 2015. It also provides a $60 per month increase to the Employer health insurance contribution and a $6.00 per month increase to the Employer contribution for single dental insurance coverage. One other provision of the tentative agreement includes a language change to the Sick Leave provision to match Minnesota Statute 181.941-181.944. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Adopt the resolution approving the provisions of the 2015 labor agreement with the International Association of Firefighters Local 1215 bargaining unit and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The tentatively approved one year contract settlement includes the following significant changes: • Wages: A two and one-quarter percent wage adjustment in 2015. • Health Insurance: A$60 increase to the Employer health insurance contribution, which provides up to a maximum contribution of$741.24 per month for single Employee coverage, $1,045 per month for Employee plus spouse or Employee plus child(ren)coverage and $1,100 per month for Employee plus family coverage. • Dental Insurance: A$6.00 per month increase to the Employer contribution for Employee single dental insurance coverage at$58.50 per month. B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, exc): • The City has met and negotiated in good faith with the Union and its representatives and is bound under the Public Employer's Labor Relations Act to meet and bargain over the terms and conditions of employment. • The proposed settlement for the health and dental insurance provisions is identical to those provided to non-union City employees. The City has a long history of providing the same level of insurance benefits to all eligible City employees. • The 2015 two and one-quarter percent (effective the first full pay period in 2015)wage increase represents the same wage adjustment implemented for non-union City employees. All of the other City unions are settled for 2015. • The wage settlement and health insurance provision is well within the range for other comparable bargaining groups in similar metro cities. C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES: • In order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify payroll records in a timely manner for 2015 wages and benefits, it is recommended that the City Council act on April 28, 2015 to adopt the attached resolution providing for contract changes, effective January 1, 2015. D. FINANCIAL IMPACT: • Two and one-quarter percent(2.25%)wage increase, effective the first full pay period of 2015, for contract year 2015. • A$6.00 per month increase in Employer monthly contribution towards employee single dental insurance in 2015. • A$60 per month increase in Employer monthly contribution towards health insurance coverage in 2015. E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: • If the terms of this agreement are not approved, further negotiation and/or mediation will be necessary. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S): • Do not approve the terms of this agreement and prepare for further negotiation and/or mediation. • Defer discussion to another date.
