I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve a purchase in the sum of $40,713.30 plus tax and license to Thane Hawkins Polar Chevrolet for two new pickup trucks for use by the Street Maintenance and Park Maintenance Divisions. II. BACKGROUND Units 381 and 382, 1995 Ford F250 4X4 pickup trucks, currently used by the Street Maintenance and Park Maintenance Divisions are fully depreciated and. scheduled for replacement in 2005. These units have wom-out front ends and substantially rusted bodies. They have already been extended four years beyond their original depreciated life. 022205Pickups Purchase of replacement vehicles has been coordinated through the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Program. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The City of Richfield participates in the Minnesota State Cooperative Purchasing Program. Under this program, the State of Minnesota solicits bids from a variety of dealers for specific motor pool equipment. The low bid vendor for each manufacturer is then awarded a contract to the participating members of the Cooperative Purchasing Program at the lowest possible price. B. CRITICAL ISSUES • Approval at the February 22, 2005 Council meeting will facilitate delivery of the two new pickup trucks. • The Chevrolet pickup trucks were chosen over the Ford or Dodge because of transmission difficulties staff has encountered with the previous two Dodge trucks and the front frame breakage encountered the three Ford F250's. The Chevrolet 2500 plow truck has not exhibited any of these problems. This, along with the fact that these trucks are now kept in service 10 years as opposed to 6 years in the past, led to the decision to choose the Chevrolet truck. • Extended cab pickups were chosen to provide more versatility for moving a whole crew with one truck instead of using two trucks for a crew of four. This is especially important in the months there are many part-time employees on staff. C. FINANCIAL • The approved 2005 budget contains $68,000 for this purchase. • Prices for the three brands of equally equipped vehicles are: ~ Chevrolet - $20,365.65 ~ Dodge - $20,122.00 ~ Ford - $20,305.65 • The purchase price is substantially lower due to the fact these vehicles are gasoline powered unlike the diesel powered pickup units being replaced. Staff has tracked the cost per mile on this size vehicle and has determined that gasoline powered pickups to be substantially more cost efficient. Also, the truck plows that were initially scheduled to be replaced at the same time as the trucks, were replaced in 2003 and will be reused and mounted on the new trucks. The original plows just didn't last 10 years. • Upon delivery of the vehicles, charges for rustproofing and strobe lights will be deducted from the remaining funds budgeted for this purchase. • Funding for these vehicles will be equipment certificates issued in 2003. D. LEGAL • When the purchase of materials, merchandise, equipment or construction exceeds $25,000, authority to purchase shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~ • Council may delay approval to a later meeting. Delayed approval, however, will result in delayed delivery. • No action by Council on this purchase will eventually cost thousands of dollars in repairs and lost efficiency in plowing, and other Public Works operations. • Council could direct staff to further investigate other options of trucks.

The resulting "Cedar Avenue Corridor Redevelopment Hennepin County TOD Grant Application Concept Master Plan" called for alignment of a north/south arterial and a new intersection at 66th Street, between 17th and 18th Avenues. • The City has been working with Ryan Companies to redevelop the area north of 66th Street, between 17th and Cedar Avenues for a regional commercial center. • Funding sources for transit-related improvements at the arterial intersection with 66th Street are being identified. • Hennepin County has a grant program for transit-oriented developments. Staff thinks it appropriate to submit an application to access funds to assist with construction of the bus pull outs, traffic calming/pedestrian enhancements, transit stations and other transit/bicycle-related facilities in the mitigative area. • A resolution indicating City Council support of the application is required. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • It is appropriate to seek outside funding whenever possible. • The City identified the 87db low frequency noise area for acquisition of existing property and redevelopment with noise-compatible uses and structures. • The Cedar Point area has been identified as the first phase of the Cedar Corridor redevelopment project. B. CRITICAL ISSUES • Hennepin County continues to support redevelopment objectives in the mitigative area. The County has identified the Cedar Corridor as a Target Area for investment. In December 2004, the Hennepin County Board budgeted $2 million to assist with acquisition to make way for the Cedar Point Development. • Funding assistance was secured through Hennepin County's 2004 TOD grant round to cover costs associated studying the new intersection. • The application would request funding to cover transit-related infrastructure and facility expenditures. Transit investments are appropriate given planned densities (residential, commercial, and office uses) in the mitigative area. The Cedar Corridor is a major transit corridor, linking Richfield to downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, the Mall of America, the Hiawatha Light Rail system, and other regional destinations. • A higher level of investment is anticipated to provide a gateway into the community and to provide asafe/aesthetic environment to maximize transit use. C. FINANCIAL • Financing for the Airport Mitigative Area is tight; funding from outside sources will increase the likelihood of successful development. • Additional funds are anticipated to realize intersection and transit improvements. • If a grant is not received, staff and development partners will continue to pursue other avenues. • No local match is required for the grant. D. LEGAL • The program guidelines require the City Council to pass a resolution in support of the application. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~ • Deny authorization with result that application will not be prepared. V. ATTACHMENTS • Resolution authorizing application to Hennepin County for Transit-Oriented Development Grant funding. VI. PRINCII'AL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING • NA RESOLUTION NO.

D. LEGAL • The donation to the School District is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.85 which provides: "Any county, city, town, or school district may transfer its personal property for a nominal or without consideration to another public corporation for public use when duly authorized by its governing body."

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve the attached resolution urging the state legislature to increase funding for necessary transportation imarovements in the Twin Cities metro area. II. BACKGROUND The 494 Corridor Commission has requested its member cities to adopt the attached resolution urging the state legislature to approve an increase of between $700 million to $1 billion per year in transportation funding for the next ten years. This is the current estimate of what is needed to correct deficiencies in both roads and transit for the Twin Cities area according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation 2030 Systems Plan. A list of possible funding sources is attached. 0222Transportation The 494 Corridor Commission is concerned that the Twin Cities area is falling behind other major cities in making transportation improvements and, consequently, is losing its economic competitive edge in comparison to other large cities. Council Member Sandahl represents the Richfield City Council on the 494 Corridor Commission Board. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The City's Comprehensive Plan has identified improvements that are needed to the regional highway network, including I-494 in Richfield. Current funding is inadequate to make the necessary improvements. B. CRITICAL ISSUES • The 494 Corridor Commission is encouraging its member cities to pass new resolutions that can be handed to local legislators and members of key transportation committees in the Legislature about the need for increased transportation funding for the Twin Cities area. C. FINANCIAL • The resolution has no financial impact on the City. D. LEGAL • The resolution does not have legal implications for the City. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION~S~ • Oppose passing the resolution. Some people may believe that the amount of funding requested is too high. However, MnDOT 2030 Plan shows the cost of needed improvements of Twin Cities Area roads to far exceed current funding levels. V.
