CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 333
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Award contracts for the remaining two sites of the Ballfield Replacement Project.
Background:
The City of Richfield has chosen three sites to reconfigure for the replacement of the
displaced ballfields currently located on Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC)
property: Richfield Junior High/Donaldson Park, Washington Park, Roosevelt Park and
Richfield Intermediate School.
The contract for the Roosevelt Park Site was awarded to Ingram Excavating, Inc. at the
November 9 Council meeting. At that time, the awards of contract for the other two
sites were tabled, pending an agreement with the Richfield School District regarding the
site improvements on School District property.
At the December 8 Richfield School Board meeting, the School Board approved a Right
of Entry agreement for the City to proceed with the award of contract for the two
remaining proposals of the Ballfield Replacement Project.
The following recommendation maintains a 5% construction contingency. Also,
$150,000 is being kept in reserve for the completion of future recreation improvements
on Academy of Holy Angels property.
Recommended Motion:
Award contracts to Ingram Excavating, Inc. for Proposal #2 - Donaldson Park/Junior
High Site (base bid plus alternates #1 and #2) in the amount of $753,356 and KA Witt
Construction for Proposal #3 - Intermediate School Site (base bid plus alternate #1) in
the amount of $187,839. Both proposals are for City Project No. 421-40-754, Phase
Two and Three of the Ballfield Replacement Project.
Basig of Recommendation:
1. The City Council has already awarded a contract to Ingram Excavating, Inc. for
Proposal #1 of the Ballfield Replacement Project and now, with the Right of Entry
Agreement with the Richfield School District, may proceed with the award of
contract for the remaining two project proposals.
2. The bids were opened according to legal requirements on October 27, 1998. The
consultant has verified bid amounts, checked references, and has recommended
award to the two bidders listed above.
3. Neighborhood meetings have been held with neighbors of these sites on July 21
and July 23 to discuss proposed plans, design and funding for the project.
/8..-/
Alternate, interim plans are available to accommodate the user groups as necessary
until the replacement ball fields are ready for use. City staff will maintain and
schedule the new facilities.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council may reject the bids and direct staff to re-advertise. However, staff does not
believe a better price can be obtained from a reputable vendor.
2. Council may elect to award a contract to another bidder. However, the consultant
has verified bid amounts, checked references, and has recommended award to the
two bidders listed above (see attached letter from Brauer and Associates, Ltd.).
3. Council may reject bids and direct staff and the consultant to amend the
specifications prior to re-advertising for bids.
4. Council may reject all bids and delay Proposals #2 and #3 of the Ballfield
Replacement Project.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is requesting action at the December 14, 1998 Council meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Ja s D. Prosser

Re: Phase One - Ballfield Replacement Project: including Improvements to Roosevelt Park, Donaldson /
Richfield Junior High School Site, Washington Park, and Richfield Intermediate School Site.
Mr. Prosser,
The bids opened on October 26, 1998 for this project have been reviewed and checked for errors. No significant errors
were found in any of the proposals that were submitted. All bidders acknowledged receipt of the two addenda and
submitted bid bonds as required. I have attached a copy of the bid tabulation for your review. In all there were three
proposals for the work included in the first phase of the ballfield replacement project. All three proposals received five
bids each from responsible contractors.
The low base bid for each of the three proposals is as follows:
Base Bid Amounts and Contractors Recommended for Acceptance
Proposal
Proposal #I Roosevelt Park
Proposal #2 Donaldson / Jr. High School Site
Proposal #3 Intermediate School Site
Company
Ingram Fwavating. Inc.
Ingram Excavating, Inc.
K.A. Witt Construction
Base Bid Amount
$825.561.00
$671,589.00
$141,839.00
Total Base Bids
$1,638,989.00
Having worked with both of these contractors in the past 12 months oti similar projects, I am satisfied with the
competency of both to preform the tasks involved in completing these projects.
The city received a total grant in the amount of two million dollars for this work. If the three low base bids are accepted
for this work, some money will remain for acceptance of alternates.
Monies Available for Construction
State Grant Amount $2,000,000.00
Base Bid # 1 Roosevelt Park (5825,561.00)
Base Bid #2 Donaldson / Jr. High School Site (5671,589.00)
Base Bid #3 Intermediate School Site ($141,839.00)
Construction Contingency of 5% ($81,949.45)
Subtotal S279,06155
Amount of Reserve for AHA Development ($150,000.00)
Total Funds Remaining
S129,061.55
40 1 8 2 Page 2 of 2
In the light of the the $129,061.55 balance in the state grant monies, I would recommend that the city consider awarding,
in addition to the base bids, the following alternatives for the three proposals:
Alternates Recommended for Acceptance
Proposal #2 Donaldson / Jr. H. School Site
Alternate #I Sod in Lieu of Seed $68,267.00
Alternate #2 New Score Board for Babe $13,500.00
Ruth Field
Proposal #3 Intermediate School Site
Alternate #I Sod in Lieu of Seed $46,215.00
Total Alternates Recommended
$127,982.00
Please be aware that we are not recommending, at this time, that the city accept the alternate for sod in lieu of seed for
Roosevelt Park. We are doing this for monetary reasons. We will ask the contractor to hold this price until we are fin-ther
into the work to determine if fiords will be sufficient to cover the added cost.
In summary, Brauer and Associates, Ltd. recommends that the City of Richfield Award Contracts to the low bidders
on each of these proposals in the following amounts:
Summary of Award Recommendation
Proposal #1 Base Bid to Ingram Excavating, Inc in the amount of $825,561.00.
Proposal #2 Base Bid and Alternates #1 and #2 to Ingram Excavating, Inc in the amount o 753,356.00.
9.00.
Proposal #3 Base Bid and Alternate #1 to K.A. Witt Construction in the amount o[$187,83
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the bids received for this project please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Brauer and Associates, Ltd.

Council Letter No. 332
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
City Council approval of separation agreement.
Background:
For the past several months the City's Director of Recreation Services has been on
approved leave. During that period several critical recreation related projects and
issues have come before the City. The relocation of City ballfields, and consideration of
a proposed community recreation facility are two examples of such matters. In the
meantime, the City has utilized the services of George Watson, a Recreation
Consultant, to assist the City with those issues on a temporary basis. However, the City
is now at a critical point where the services of a full time Recreation Director are needed
to direct the overall activities of the department as well as to manage the special
recreation related projects before the City. At this time, the Recreation Director is not
available to return to work and it is uncertain when the Director will be able to return.
After consideration of these matters and considerable discussions with a legal
representative of the current Recreation Director, it has become apparent that it would
be in the best interests of both the City and the current Director of Recreation Services
to agree upon a separation agreement mutually acceptable to both parties. This would
allow the City to receive a letter of resignation now so that the City may immediately
pursue the recruitment and selection of a new Director of Recreation Services.
The most significant monetary provisions of the separation agreement would be a lump
sum severance payment of $22,000 (approximately 18 weeks of salary) and an
agreement by the City not to contest any reemployment insurance to which the
employee may be eligible in the future. The employee would, of course, also be entitled
to a payment of any unused accrued vacation and personal leave pursuant to City
ordinance. This benefit is provided to all separating employees.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to
execute a settlement agreement between the City of Richfield and the current
Recreation Services Director, Gretchen Blank.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City has an immediate need for a full time Recreation Services Director.
2. Ms. Blank is currently on leave and is not available to return to work at this time.
3. It would be in both parties' best interest if a separation was settled upon so that the
City may proceed with filling the position.
0 4. The terms of the settlement are reasonable and satisfactory to both parties.
/?-l
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could decide not to approve the agreement that could ultimately result
in a dispute between the parties.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is recommended that the City Council approve authorization for separation agreement
at the December 14 City Council meeting in order to conclude this matter and proceed
with the filling of the vacant Director position.
Respectfully submitted,
Jam D. Prosser
City Manager

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 331
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Site selection for the new Public Works Facility.
Background:
The Maintenance Facility Task Force has spent the last several months studying the
need for a new maintenance facility and potential sites. Seven sites were evaluated. Of
those sites, the Task Force as its top choice for a new maintenance facility chose a site
at 77th Street and Cedar Avenue owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission
(MAC). If that site cannot be secured from the MAC by June 1999, the Task Force
recommends the City move to its second choice -- redeveloping the current
maintenance facility site at 7700 Pillsbury Avenue. The Task Force's
recommendations, approved in September 1998, are attached for Council review.
The Task Force recommendations were published in the November 1998 issue of Your
City. The public has had an opportunity to review the recommendation (s) with Task
Force members at an open house held November 18, 1998. Four residents attended
the open house. To review space needs and preparatory to selection of a site for a new
maintenance facility, the Task Force scheduled public information and input meetings
on Wednesday, July 15 at Wood Lake Nature Center, and on Thursday, July 16 at City
Hall. Residents were encouraged to attend one or both of these meetings. Residents
could call 490-3690, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide ideas for a new location
or design for a Richfield Public Works maintenance facility. Residents could write to the
Task Force at 6700 Portland Avenue. Approximately 50 people attended the July 15
open house and approximately 100 people attended the July 16 open house. A
complete list of comments is available for review.
On November 10, 1998 the Community Services Commission unanimously approved
the Task Force recommendation(s). On December 8, 1998 the Planning Commission
made the following comments related to the Task Force recommendation (s):
• The proposed site is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; however, there
is a low probability that the first alternative site will work. It may also be an
inappropriate time to try and negotiate with MAC for the property given other City
concerns.
• The second alternative then becomes the first choice. This site is inconsistent with
the City's Comprehensive Plan which designates the property for medium density
housing. This site also spends more of the City's scarce resources and involves
acquiring single family homes and a business. The Comprehensive Plan would
have to be amended to accommodate this location.
• The Veterans Park site should be reevaluated if the City is unsuccessful obtaining
the airport site. This site is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the idea of
creating a civic campus in the park. There is also building synergy and working
• efficiencies gained with the Veterans Park site that the other two sites do not
provide.
Recommended Motion:
Thank the Maintenance Facility Task Force for the work performed in preparing
recommendations for a maintenance facility, receive the recommendations of the Task
Force, select the first choice of 77th Street and Cedar Avenue for location of the future
Public Works facility, direct staff to pursue use of the 77th Street and Cedar Avenue site
for a Public Works facility, and, if that site cannot be secured from the MAC by June
1999, direct staff to resubmit the Task Force recommendation (s) to the City Council for
consideration.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A new maintenance facility is needed.
2. A citizen Task Force has considered several sites and reviewed the Task Force
recommendation(s) with the public.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Determine that a new maintenance facility is not needed.
2. Review the second choice of the Task Force (existing maintenance facility site) at
this time in light of the Planning Commission comment that this site is inconsistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Request the Task Force to consider additional sites for a new maintenance facility.
4. Select a new maintenance facility site other then those, or the order of those,
recommended by the Task Force.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Members of the Task Force, including Task Force Chair David Gepner, will be at the
December 14 Council meeting to discuss the Task Force recommendation (s).
Respectfully submitted,
Jam. Prosser

l(-q
Maintenance Facility Task Force Recommendations
Approved in September 1998
1) A new maintenance facility is needed.
The Task Force found that because of age and inefficiency of existing facilities along
with growing needs, the City must build a new facility.
2) The site for the new facility should be located at the northeast corner of 77th Street
and Cedar.
It is estimated that building at this site would cost $7.9 million including land.
However, the feasibility of acquiring the land and the exact land cost is not yet
known. This site was selected as the top choice because it ranks high in the areas
of building costs, opportunity loss, zoning/compatibility with the City Master Plan,
traffic flow, and "not-in-my-backyard" issues. It did not rank well in terms of land
availability and acquisition costs, and a central location for operational effectiveness.
Should the site not be available from the MAC, the Task Force recommended the
City move to its second choice.
3) The second choice would be redevelopment of the existing maintenance facility site.
Redeveloping the current site would cost an estimated $8.8 million. This site was
ranked less desirable than the Cedar Avenue South site (77th and Cedar) because
of cost and loss of opportunity to sell the existing site. This site would also require a
two-story structure and the acquisition of three single-family homes and Gleason
Mortuary.
4) A third site that ranked high in the evaluation was the Veterans Memorial Park of
Richfield site. However, the Task Force did not select the site because of community
feedback on the value of the park to Richfield.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Task Force's site recommendation (s) are
outlined below.
Cedar Avenue South Site -- Choice No. 1
The site is contingent on the following:
• Owned by MAC, requires FAA/MAC agreement.
• Cost of about $7.9 million.
Advantages
• Allows for redevelopment opportunity of existing site (lower taxes to residents).
• Easily accessible.
• No residential or park conflicts.
)(,-5
• Operationally viable, not as central as other locations, however no great distance
to other public services.
Disadvantages
• Back-up plan needed due to high degree of uncertainty in acquiring the land
within a year.
• Seemingly high valued property.
Redevelop Existing Site -- Choice No. 2
The site is contingent on the following:
• Purchase of Gleason's Mortuary and three homes.
• Cost of about $8.8 million.
Advantages
• Easily accessible.
• Operationally viable.
Disadvantages
• Loss of opportunity to lower resident's tax through redevelopment of existing
property into commercial property.
• Residential property in close proximity.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 329
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Resolution providing authorization to adjust the 1998 Revised General Fund Budget for a
portion of unspent year-end funds for Administrative Services, Public Safety and Airport
expenditures.
Background:
The City Council has been previously made aware that there are several ongoing needs
at City Hall and satellite facilities that have not been addressed in the last few years
because of the inability to find adequate funding. This was true of the budget process for
1999 where a number of requested items were excluded from the budget due to funding
limitations. However, the 1998 budget, including revisions, may provide the opportunity
at year-end to address some of these concerns with a positive year-end fund balance.
There are a number of such issues that should be considered.
The first item requested is replacement of the parking lot and driveway at Fire Station #2.
The parking lot is deteriorated and in need of replacement. The driveway is cracked in
several places creating a safety hazard. The cost to replace the parking lot and driveway
• is estimated at $50,000.
The second item is the airport expenditures incurred during 1998. Expenditures for the
year are expected to reach $850,000, which will far exceed the revised budget of
$417,000. The amount requested to be transferred if funds are available would be
$200,000. Presently $226,000 of transfers for airport expenditures are included in the
revised 1998 budget. The $200,000 recommended is in addition to this. This would
bring total transfers for airport expenditures to $426,000.
The third issue concerns the remodeling of office space in the Community Development
Department and Finance Division areas. Due to the increase in staff in Community
Development, significant remodeling has been undertaken. The funds requested would
complete the remodeling through the completion of one workspace and carpeting certain
areas. The Finance Division request concerns improving workstation space needs for
employees. The estimate of costs to provide these improvements is estimated at
$10,000.
If the City Council gives authorization to proceed with these items, funds would be set
aside in the 1998 budget year, either through a capital account or project, to pay for
these items so they are recognized as a 1998 expenditure.
n
/CI-I
• Recommended Motion:
Adopt a resolution providing authority to adjust the 1998 Revised General Fund Budget
to use a portion of unspent year-end funds for Public Safety, Community Development
and Airport related expenditures.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is likely that there will be surplus funding available in the 1998 budget to provide for
these needed improvements. If adequate surplus funds are not available at year-end,
an amount less than the year-end surplus would be used to cover a select portion of
the costs identified.
2. Because of the restrictive budgets of the last several years, the City has not included
upgrades that would normally be included as part of the cost of doing business on a
year-by-year basis. Therefore, there is a growing list of items that need to be
addressed to keep the City's infrastructure, capital equipment and productivity current.
3. The airport expenditures are costs of doing business the City has incurred and must
incur to protect the residents of the City.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could decide to not make any revisions in the budget to pay for
these improvements and equipment. In that case, City staff would look for
funding in 1999 to make the improvements and purchase needed equipment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
If the City Council is to approve the use of the1998 surplus funds to make these needed
purchases, December 14 would be the last opportunity to do so.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 328
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Adoption of the 1998 Revised/1999 Proposed budget and final tax levy and related
resolutions.
Background:
The City of Richfield has conducted and closed its 1998 truth in taxation hearing on
December 7, 1998. During the course of the public hearing, there was an opportunity
for testimony from the general public. Information was also presented by staff
regarding the proposed levy and budget. No official City Council action to act on the
levy was permissible on the day of the public hearing.
The City Council must now take final action on the City's budget and tax levy. State
Statute requires that municipalities conduct public hearings no later than December 20
of each year. Cities then have five working days after December 20 or no later than
December 28 to prepare all the documentation necessary to certify a final levy to the
County Auditor and State Department of Revenue.
• In addition to the resolutions authorizing the revised 1998 budget and adopting a 1999
budget and tax levy, several other resolutions included within the total budget document
need to be considered. Resolutions pertaining to water and sewer utility rates, capital
improvement and program budget and license/permit fees should also be considered.
In addition, the resolution restating the City Manager's charter ordinance authority to
modify the budget during the budget year and pay plan resolutions for the General
Services, Specialized, and Management pay plans are also included.
In September 1998 the City approved and certified a preliminary tax levy of $8,054,792
to Hennepin County. The final tax levy must now be considered and approved by the
City Council. The final levy may be less but cannot be greater than the preliminary levy
amount. Taxpayers have received individual parcel specific tax notices in anticipation
of the truth in taxation public hearing.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the resolutions approving the 1998 Revised/1999 Proposed budget and tax levy
and related resolutions.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A revised 1998 budget and final 1999 budget and tax levy must be adopted on or
before December 20, 1998.
is 2. A proposed 1999 tax levy has been submitted to the City Council for
consideration.
13-/
3. The gross tax levy for 1999 reflects a 1.57 percent increase over the previous
year, and the local 1999 tax levy represents a 3.54 percent increase over 1998.
4. A truth in taxation public hearing for the 1999 proposed budget and tax levy has
been conducted in accordance with state law.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could adopt a final 1999 budget and a tax levy in any amount which
does not exceed the preliminary levy of $8,054,792.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is suggested that the City Council take action on these items at the December 14,
1998 regular City Council meeting to ensure ample time to prepare final documents for
submission to the County Auditor. Action on this item cannot be taken on the same
night as public testimony at the initial truth in taxation hearing on the budget and tax
levy are taken, according to state law.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 327
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Approval of a joint powers agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) to facilitate purchase of property and required relocation of residents as part
of the widening of 66th Street at I-35W.
Background:
In March 1998, a public hearing was held and the City Council approved the layout for
the widening of 66th Street between Lynwood Boulevard and Humboldt Avenue. The
proposed layout will require the total acquisition of three parcels: 1314-1316 West 66th
Street (two units), 1315-1317 West 66th Street (two units), and 6600 Emerson Avenue
(a single-family home adapted for use as a group home). Six partial acquisitions of
parcels include: 1415 West 66th Street (single family home), 6600-04 Girard Avenue
(two units), 6601 Emerson Avenue (single family home), 6812 Emerson Lane, 1107-
1109 West 66th Street (two units), and 6544 Girard Avenue.
The joint powers agreement would allow the City to act on behalf of the State to
facilitate appraisals, initiate relocation, update titles, negotiate purchases, and close on
property sales. The City would be reimbursed for all expenditures and staff time. Given
other projects, the State does not have the time for facilitating the process on their own
and needs to subcontract the work. The limited number of properties involved, and the
accessibility of City staff to residents, makes the City as subcontractor an appropriate
choice. Any eminent domain proceedings would be pursued by MnDOT.
The attached contract has been reviewed by Kennedy & Graven, and has been found
acceptable. Appraisal, relocation and legal consultants currently used by the City are all
considered "approved contractors" by MnDOT.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the joint powers agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
to facilitate purchase of property and required relocation of residents as part of the
widening of 66th Street at I-35W.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. After a public hearing, the City Council approved the layout for the widening of 66th
Street at their March 23, 1998 meeting.
2. All property purchased will be in the name of the State of Minnesota.
3. The City will be properly reimbursed for all appropriate charges incurred, and will
not be required to pursue any eminent domain proceedings.
4. City staff will be able to provide good customer service to residents whose
properties will be purchased, in whole or in part.
1a-I
. Alternative Recommendation:
Do not approve joint powers agreement and require MnDOT to find another agent to act
on its behalf.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The widening of 66th Street is planned to begin in the spring of 1999 simultaneously
with the construction of the 1-35W bridge. Acquisitions and relocations need to begin
immediately.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPROVAL OF A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO FACILITATE
THE PURCHASE OF PROEPRTY AND REQUIRED RELOCATION OF RESIDENTS
AS PART OF THE WIDENING OF 66TH STREET AT 1-35W
WHEREAS, in March 1998, a public hearing was held and the City Council
approved the widened layout for 66th Street between Lynwood Boulevard and
Humboldt Avenue; and
WHEREAS, certain real property will need to be acquired to properly perform the
construction on 66th Street and the 1-35W bridge; and

to facilitate appraisals, initiate relocation, negotiate purchases, and other actions
required to assemble the necessary right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Transportation will reimburse the City for
related expenditures and staff time to facilitate the purchase of property and required
relocation of residents as part of the widening of 66th Street at 1-35W.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the joint powers agreement with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation to facilitate the purchase of property and the
required relocation of residents as part of the widening of 66th Street at 1-35W is
approved, and the Mayor and City Manager of the City of Richfield are authorized to
execute the agreement and other agreements necessary for the completion of the
project.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 326
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
First reading of a transitory ordinance vacating right-of-way for the Urban Village
redevelopment project.
Background:
Richfield State Agency (RSA) is proposing to develop a mixed land use project at the
southeast corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. The Urban Village proposal
includes a mixture of new housing choices, retail, office and public spaces. The
proposal provides 73,000 sq. ft. of additional office/retail space, 216 housing units, a
600 space parking ramp and a relocated McDonald's to the corner of 67th and Lyndale.
The housing types would include assisted living housing and townhome style
apartments for the Pleasant/Grand block.
RSA is requesting that portions of three streets be vacated for the proposed
development. Grand and Pleasant Avenues would be vacated between 66th and 67th
Streets. The north half of 67th Street would be vacated between Harriet and Pleasant
Avenues. The south half of 67th Street would not be vacated but would be converted
to a loop street between Grand and Pleasant Avenue and an access between Grand
Avenue to the alley.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of a transitory ordinance vacating Grand and Pleasant Avenues
from 66th to 67th Streets and the north half of 67th Street from Harriet to Pleasant
Avenues and set a second reading and public hearing for January 11, 1999.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The right-of-way is not needed for street or sidewalk purposes.
2. The right-of-way is needed for the Urban Village development.
3. Adequate access for emergency vehicles will be maintained.
4. The south half of 67th Street will be used to provide loop street between Pleasant
and Grand Avenue for the neighborhood to the south of Urban Village. Closing
67th Street will prevent Urban Village traffic from spilling into the residential
neighborhood.
5. The south half of 67th Street will be use to provide access from Grand Avenue to
the alley on this right-of-way.
0
()-I
6. The proposed loop streets have been reviewed with the neighbors south of 67th
Street. Reactions were positive.
7. Public Works and Public Safety staff find the street vacations acceptable
8. RSA is responsible for the cost of installing the loop streets.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Deny this vacation at first reading.
2. Refer the vacation to the Planning Commission.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
First reading is set for December 14, 1998. If approved, a public hearing and second
reading will be scheduled on January 11, 1999.

Council Letter No. 325
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
First reading of an ordinance amendment rezoning land between 66th and 67th Streets
and Grand and Pleasant Avenues from R (single family residential) to PC-2 (planned
general commercial) and rezoning land at 6701 Lyndale from PC-2 to C-1
(neighborhood commercial).
Background:
Richfield State Agency (RSA) is proposing to construct a mixed land use development
at the southeast corner of 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. The Urban Village
proposal includes a mixture of new housing choices, retail, office and public spaces.
The proposal provides 73,000 sq. ft. of additional office/retail space, 216 housing units,
a 600 space parking ramp and a relocated McDonald's to the corner of 67th and
Lyndale. The housing types would include assisted living housing and townhome style
apartments for the Pleasant/Grand block.
The property at 6701 Lyndale is currently a parking lot and is part of the existing RSA
PUD plan. RSA is proposing to move the brick house that is located adjacent to the
bank and clinic parking lot at 67th and Harriet to 6701 Lyndale Avenue. The property
will then be sold to the owners of chiropractic clinic who are being relocated from their
office at 66th Street and Grand Avenue. Since the ownership of 6701 Lyndale will be
separate from that of the Urban Village, a rezoning to C-1 (neighborhood commercial),
while not required, would be appropriate.
The City Council is being asked to initiate the rezonings because the developer does
not yet have title to all parcels.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an ordinance rezoning land between 66th and 67th Streets and
Grand and Pleasant Avenues from R to PC-2 and rezoning land at 6701 Lyndale from
PC-2 to C-1; and set a public hearing and second reading for January 11, 1999.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the Pleasant/Grand site is Regional
Commercial/Office. The Regional Commercial/Office designation supports
commercial and multiple family development.
2. The City Council can initiate a rezoning. The rezoning request is then sent to the
Planning Commission for review.
n
?J
c)-1
i 3. The Planning Commission and City Council will also review a planned unit
development plan, final development plan and conditional use permit for the
proposed development.
4. Mixed use development in the City is permitted through a planned unit
development. The PC-2 district allows uses that are allowable in the C-2 district.
Retail, offices, townhomes and multi-family housing are all allowable in the C-2
district.
5. The C-1 district allows small office uses such as a chiropractic clinic.
6. The rezoning will not be effective until RSA owns title to all properties.
7. This development is consistent with the Richfield Lake Area Master Plan recently
accepted by the City Council and HRA.
8. This development is consistent with a redevelopment plan recently approved by
the HRA and City Council.
9. The HRA also recently approved a Contract for Private Development with
Richfield State Agency for this site.
0 10. The property at 6701 Lyndale requires single family residential. The
neighborhood was receptive to the present R-1 zoning or would have accepted a
C-1 designation. RSA has decided to develop 6701 Lyndale.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny this rezoning at first reading.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
First reading is set for December 14, 199E
reading will be scheduled on January 11,
If approved, a public hearing and second

Richfield's vision for the future is to continue
The Urban Village is a proposed redevelopment project for
the southeast quadrant of Lyndale Avenue and 66th Street
that adds new housing choices and new commercial space.
Already part of the Richfield Lake master plan, this area
comprises the Richfield Bank and Trust property and the
block east of the bank, bordered by 66th/67th Streets and
Oeasant/Grand Avenues.
The Urban Village proposal provides 78,000 square feet of
additional office/retail space, 210 housing units, a 600 space
parking ramp, plus the relocation of the McDonalds to the
to be known as the best place to live, work,
learn and do business. One of the ways the
f
vision is achieved is through redevelopment o
f
commercial areas ir-decline and adjacent
residential areas.
?
corner of 67th and Lyndale. If the Pleasant/Grand block
is included, townhome style apartments are proposed for
that area.
The developer, Richfield State Agency, submitted plans to the
Rich fieki Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) in
April and again in September. The HRA will make a final
decision about the proposal on November 16. The City
Council and Planning Commission will also review the
proposal because tax increment financing is requested to
build the parking ramp. The City Council meets on

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 324
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Conduct a public hearing on an amended planned unit development plan, final
development plan and conditional use permit for Gramercy Park Cooperative, 710 Lake
Shore Drive and 6724 Lyndale Avenue.
Background:
On September 28, 1998, Gramercy Corporation received approval of a planned unit
development plan, final development plan and conditional use permit to construct a 218-
unit senior housing cooperative.
Gramercy is proposing to make the following changes to the development:
• reduce the total building square footage from 393,422 sq. ft. to 327,405 sq. ft., a
16.7 percent reduction;
• reduce the number of units from 218 to 160;
• reduce the number of stories from 14 to 12;
• eliminate the portion of the parking deck that would have been constructed
underneath the alley;
. • decrease the amount of covered parking from 230 to 168 stalls (approximately 64
outside stalls will also be provided);
• eliminate the second story of the VFW, although the number of square feet in the
facility would remain approximately at 8,000; and
• adjust the entrances to the parking structure and reconfigure loading/unloading
areas.
The appearance of the main building will not change. The elevation for the VFW portion
of the project does not show the final design. A stipulation requiring that the design be
coordinated with that of the housing tower should be added to the approval.
The fewer number of units does mean that fewer of these housing options will be
available to Richfield seniors and consequently, fewer single family homes will be made
available to families with children.
Recommended Motion:
Conduct a public hearing and approve the request for an amended planned unit
development plan and final development plan, and adopt a resolution approving an
amended conditional use permit to allow a reduction in the building square footage at
710 Lake Shore Drive and 6724 Lyndale Avenue with the following stipulations:
1. That a final landscape plan, including tree replacement both on and off site, be
approved by the Community Development Director and a cash escrow submitted
for the cost of the landscaping.
q_1
2. That a stormwater management plan be approved by the Public Works Director.
3. That a sediment and erosion control plan be approved by the Public Works
Director.
4. That appropriate measures be taken to ensure that cooking odors from the VFW
will not negatively impact future cooperative residents or other surrounding
properties.
5. That the property be replatted.
6. That final design of the VFW portion of the structure be consistent with that of the
housing portion and approved by the Community Development Director.
7. That a resolution approving the conditional use permit be recorded with the
County, pursuant to Minnesota statutes section 462.36, subdivision 1.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City's planned unit development ordinance requires an amendment to a PUD
plan, FDP and CUP if the amount of building square footage changes more than 10
percent.
2. The proposed downsizing of the project does not substantially impact the nature of
• the project.
3. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designation is Community
Commercial, which allows for high density, multiple family housing and a facility such
as the VFW.
4. The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities,
utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. The proposed changes will
lessen the impact on governmental facilities, utilities, services and improvements.
5. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare.
The proposed changes will lessen any impact on the public health, safety and
welfare.
6. There is a significant number of seniors in the City and adjacent communities who
are seeking or will be seeking alternatives to living in a single family home. The
cooperative style of housing is currently unavailable in Richfield.
7. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to property
owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
8. On December 8, 1998, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the
amendment.
9-a
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the amendment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m., December 14, 1998 in the Council Chambers,
Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 323
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Conduct a public hearing regarding a request for an amended conditional use permit to
allow an increase in restaurant seating capacity from 90 to 150 at 6519 Nicollet Avenue.
Background:
Eastern Buffet, 6519 Nicollet Avenue, received a conditional use permit on October 27,
1997 to operate a 90-seat restaurant. Eastern Buffet is requesting an amendment to its
conditional use permit to add 60 seats to the restaurant's capacity.
Parking in the shopping center does not meet City standards. There are approximately
191 parking spaces available for the 57,500 sq. ft. center (3.3 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.).
City standards would require 230 parking spaces to reach a parking ratio of four spaces
per 1,000 sq. ft. Because the parking lot does not meet City standards, staff requested
a parking analysis of the existing parking situation.
Parking counts conducted by RLK-Kuusisto, Ltd. indicate that parking is generally
adequate during evening hours. On the two evenings counted, the parking lot had
between 28 and 43 parking stalls available. During the weekday lunch period, the
parking lot is generally 80 percent full, with 21 and 26 parking stalls available. A
Saturday lunch count was also taken and showed approximately ten stalls available.
To accommodate the additional seating, the applicant proposes to add 13 parking stalls
to the shopping center parking lot. Four stalls would be in front and nine in the rear of
the shopping center. Two of the stalls proposed in the front lot and two stalls proposed
in the rear lot would interfere with traffic circulation and should not be allowed. Four
stalls proposed in the back lot will require additional curbing to accommodate the stalls.
The application is not clear whether or not curbing would be installed. According to the
application, additional measures would also be taken to accommodate the added
seating. The measures are described in the attached parking study. A summary of
those measures along with staff's response to the proposed measures is also attached.
Recommended Motion:
Conduct a public hearing and deny the request for an amended conditional use permit
to allow an increase in restaurant seating capacity from 90 to 150 at 6519 Nicollet
Avenue and adopt a resolution approving an increase in seating capacity from 90 to 120
seats with the following stipulations:
That shopping center management continue its efforts to encourage employees to
park in the back parking lot and to improve the safety of the back lot.
0 2. That fencing be installed along the east side of the shopping center subject to final
design approval by the Community Development Director.
$-I
0 3. That additional dry storage be provided as approved by the Environmental Health
Specialist.
4. That a parking plan be resubmitted and approved by the Community Development
Director. The plan should show a total of nine parking stalls and indicate curbing
at either end of the parallel parking spaces.
5. That the trash dumpsters be consolidated.
6. That the owner not allow snow to take up parking spaces, removing it from the
property as needed to keep parking spaces available.
7. That a resolution be recorded with the County, pursuant to Minnesota statutes
section 462.36, subdivision 1.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The shopping center parking lot does not meet City parking standards of four
spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of space in a retail center. The proposed parking spaces
will not bring the lot into compliance with City standards.
2. Parking counts indicate that the front parking lot is, on average, 80 percent full
during the noon hour when usage of the center is at its peak. Approximately 20
parking spaces are available during this time for all businesses within the shopping
center. A Saturday lunch count showed the lotto be 92 percent full with
approximately ten spaces available.
3. At 90 percent, a parking lot is functionally full. The remaining parking spaces are in
a state of transition with entering and exiting vehicles. Using the lunch count
capacity of 80 percent, there are approximately ten spaces of excess parking. The
two spaces proposed in front would result in 12 excess parking spaces in the front
parking area. City parking standards require one space for every 2.5 restaurant
seats so if all of the excess 12 spaces are attributed to the restaurant, an additional
30 restaurant seats could be accommodated.
4. Two of the proposed parking spaces in the front parking lot and two in the rear
parking lot would interfere with traffic circulation and should not be allowed. The
four parallel parking spaces in the rear parking lot should be defined through the
use of curbing.
5. The proposed parking spaces in the back parking lot are not likely to substantially
increase the capacity of the front lot. The applicant's argument for additional
seating relies largely on encouraging employees to park in these rear spaces. It is
unknown whether or not new efforts to encourage parking in the rear will be
successful. In addition, City counts of the rear parking area show that there is not a
significant number of empty parking spaces in the rear area.
6. Other tenants in the shopping center have testified to staff and the Planning
Commission of their need for parking and stated that they have observed a
ff-a
shortage of parking and received complaints from customers since the restaurant
opened.
7. Dry storage is currently a concern of the City's Inspectors. Additional seating will
require storage space to be added on the main level of the restaurant.
8. The design of the fencing along the east side of the shopping center was decided
upon as part of the original LHN redevelopment. The applicant proposes to install
chain link fencing to fill in the gaps along the fence and improve safety in the rear
parking lot. The fencing should be made to match the existing fencing in keeping
with the LHN design standards.
9. On December 8, 1998, the Planning Commission voted 4-1-1 to approve an
increase in the seating capacity to 120. One Commissioner voted against the
motion stating that the restaurant warrants the same number of seats as Arnold's
restaurant had (132). One Commissioner abstained from voting stating that
additional parking counts are needed before a decision can be made.
10. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to
property owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Deny the request for an amended conditional use permit at 6519 Nicollet Avenue
with a finding of fact that sufficient parking does not exist to allow for an increase in
seating capacity.
2. Continue discussion on the item to a date certain and request that additional
parking counts be taken over a longer period of time with the restaurant seating
capacity at 90 seats.
3. Deny the request for an amended conditional use permit to increase seating to 150
and approve an increase in seating capacity to 132 seats.
4. Approve the request for an amended conditional use permit to increase the seating
capacity to 150 seats at 6519 Nicollet Avenue.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, December 14, 1998. The hearing
will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

PURPOSE OFREPORT.
To evaluate the feasibility of adding additional seats to Eastern Buffet's existing
Conditional-Use Permit.
This study will examine an appropriate seat number for the Eastern Buffet
restaurant by defining the availability of parking for both this tenant and for the
remaining tenants within the Richfield Shoppes Center.
Currently, the Eastern Buffet Restaurant holds a Conditional Use Permit allowing for a 90
seat Class #II restaurant. A--cording to the June 1995 City of Richfield Zoning Ordinance
a Class #II Cafeteria Restaurant is defined as restaurant where food and non-intoxicating
beverages are selected by customers while passing through a service line and taken to a
table for consumption.
This report will analyze the existing parking situation, count existing parking numbers, and
make recommendations. The analysis of the existing parking situation will look at
potential parking up-grades, employee parking, loading and trash services, and other
parking tendencies.
The parking lot will be counted during the busiest times of the shopping center:
• Tuesday: supper
• Wednesday: lunch
• Thursday: lunch
• Friday: lunch
• Friday: supper
• Saturday: lunch
The recommendations will focus on the opportunities to create parking
improvements. For example; adding parking stalls, combine trash containers, install
signage, improved security, etc.
RECOMMENDA TIONED PARKING IMPROVEMENTS:
1. Provide additional parking for the shopping center. 12 stalls will be added to the
shopping center. Of those 12 stalls, ten will be added to the backside of the shopping
center and designated as employee parking. This will help encourage the center's
employees to park in the back rather than along the front side. Two more stalls will
also be added to the front of the building, specifically, right in front of the Eastern
Buffet store. This will help provide more parking options for all of the shopping
centers clientele. (Refer to Attachment D' for parking improvements plan)

2. Encourage employees to park in the designated areas. This might be accomplished
by reinforcing this designation with the tenant's employees. Midwest Management is
committed to enforcing this, by sending memos to the appropriate tenants encouraging
employees to park in the designated areas. Security personal have also been assigned
to the parking lot with the sole purpose of watching over the employee parking
situation. Another potential motivation might be to improve the security along the
back side of the center. Midwest Management, in hopes to help improve security, has
already added additional lighting fixtures to the backside of the center.
3. Midwest Management is committed to improving the security along the backside
of the shopping center. As suggested by Kevin Lehman, Richfield's Crime
Prevention officer, Midwest Management is putting a chain link fence between the
sections of the privacy fence along the East side of the center to restrict unwanted
access to the parking lot. (Refer to Attachment `E' for a memo from the Department of
Public Safety).
4. Consolidate garbage dumpsters to free up more room for additional parking
stalls. Currently, there are a high number of garbage dumpsters along the backside of
the center. Wherever possible, these garbage dumpsters should be combined. This
will accomplish two things: (l.) provide additional parking stalls (2.) clean up the
image of the back of the center. Midwest Management is committed to analyzing this
opportunity.
5. Encourage further bus participation. The center is fortunate to have a major bus
line nearby. A high number of bus users rely on this center to do a majority of their
shopping. This also helps lower the dependency on the automobile as well as decrease
the center's parking demand, which will allow a higher seat count for the Eastern
Buffet restaurant.
6. Encourage bike usage. Midwest Management has agreed to place bike racks along
the front of the shopping center. This will, especially for children and young adults,
provide an alternative form of transportation. This will also help lower the dependency
on the automobile as well as decrease the center's parking demand. which will allow a
higher seat count for the Eastern Buffet restaurant.
7. Provide additional parking signage. For example, a 15 minute parking limit
designation will provide tenants with sufficient parking. Another parking signage
opportunity is to provide employee parking signs at the entrances of the backside of
the center. This will help educate employees that the backside has been designated for
their use.

CONDITIONAL-USE PERMIT RECOMMENDATION:
? RLK-Kuusisto, Ltd. supports a 150 seat conditional-use permit. This
recommendation is based on the implementation of the RECOMMENDED PARKING
IMPROVEMENTS listed above and the justifications listed below:
¦ A typical shopping center user will make multiple trips, for example, a user will
go to the restaurant and the photoshop during the same visit.
¦ A typical stop at the Eastern Buffet restaurant is shorter (estimated at 18 min.)
than a typical sit down restaurant(30-35min).
¦ The restaurant's typical busy times, nights and weekends, do not conflict with
the majority of the shopping center tenants. (27% are closed after 5: 06pm, 34%
of the tenants are closed on Saturday, 69% of the tenants are closed on Sunday)
¦ Currently, parking for the 90 seat restaurant during the evening rush(5-7pm) is
acceptable.
¦ Currently, parking for the 90 seat restaurant during the weekends is
acceptable. (34% of the tenants are closed on Saturday / 69% of the tenants are
closed on Sunday.)
¦ Currently, parking for the 90 seat restaurant during the daytime rush(12-Ipm)
is acceptable.
¦ Three years ago, a Class I restaurant, named Arnold's Hamburger Grill, with a
seating capacity of 132 occupied the applicant's shopping center space.
¦ The parking situation will improve as the above-mentioned recommendations
are implemented.
¦ Enforcement of employee parking.
¦ A number of the shopping center's clientele utilize the local bus system.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS.
• Parking during the supper rush is acceptable. (Refer to attachment "F" for a table
outlining the parking counts)
• Tuesday: supper - 66% filled (an average of 43 stalls available).
• Friday: supper - 77% filled (an average of 28 stalls available).
An explanation for this high number of available night-time parking is that by 5:00
p.m. on a typical Monday-Friday, over 27% of the shopping center is closed.
• The parking counts for the weekday lunch suggest an acceptable level of available
parking. (Refer to attachment "F" for a table outlining the parking counts.) The
parking counts for the lunch rush are as follows:
• Wednesday: lunch - 79% filled (an average of 26 stalls available).
• Thursday: lunch - 83% filled (an average of 21 stalls available).
• Friday: lunch - 81% filled (an average of 23 stalls available).

• The parking counts for the weekend lunch suggest an acceptable level of available
parking. (Refer to attachment "F" for a table outlining the parking counts)
• Saturday: lunch - 92% filled (an average of 10 stalls available).
• The explanation for this percentage is that the emnlovee narking alone the
backside o the shopping center was under-utilized. An alarming 25 parking stalls
were available or employee parking during this parking count. Iplovee
Darkinz can be enforced the varkine numbers in the front ofthe center for a
ical Saturday will improve.
During a typical Saturday over 34% of the center's businesses are closed. A
Sunday typically reveals that over 70% of the center's businesses are closed.
• Currently the employee parking area is under-utilized. The area on the back side
of the center has been designated employee parking. (Refer to Attachment C for the
October 20, 1998, Midwest Management memorandum addressing employee parking.)
During the gathering of the parking counts, the employee parking area was also
counted. The number of stalls which were unoccupied averaged 10 stalls. This
suggests that there still are opportunities to further encourage employees to park in the
back.
Approximately, three to four years ago, this same tenant area contained a sit-
down style restaurant with seating for up to 132. Arnold's Hamburger Grill, a Class
I, restaurant held a conditional use permit allowing for 132 seats.
• The typical stay at the Eastern Buffet Restaurant is shorter than a regular sit-
down style restaurant. The average stay for the Eastern Buffet clientele is about 18
minutes. The average stay at a sit-down restaurant is approximately 30-35 minutes.
This results in a quicker turn-around in parking usage. In other words, a parking stall
is freed-up quicker with this style of restaurant compared to a sit-down style restaurant,
allowing a higher seat count for the Eastern Buffet restaurant.
• To illustrate the typical business li sirs of the shopping center the following
businesses have been broken down into these categories: (#) number of businesses,
(%) of businesses. (Please refer to Attachment B for the business listings, size of store,
and hours of operation.)
CATEGORY 1 (open Monday-Friday, 9:00-5:00 p.m.) (7) (27%)
CATEGORY 2 (open Monday-Friday, after 5:00 p.m.) (2) (7%)
CATEGORY 3 (open Monday-Saturday) (9) (35%)
CATEGORY 4 (open Monday-Sunday) (8) (31 %)

Please Note: Over 1/3rd of the businesses are closed on Saturday while over 2/3rds of
the businesses are closed on Sunday.
• A high number of the shopping center's clientele utilize the local bus system. A
major north/south regional bus line travels along Nicollet Avenue with a principal bus
stop at the northeast corner of Nicollet and 60h Street. This helps lower the dependency
on the automobile as well as decrease the shopping center's parking demand, which
will allow a higher seat count for the Eastern Buffet restaurant.
• Some of the businesses have commented that non-customers have been parking
early in the morning, then taking the bus. Parking signage will alleviate this
concern.
PROJECT LOCATION:
The Eastern Buffet Restaurant is located on the northeast corner of Nicollet Avenue and
66'' Street. (Please refer to Attachment A for existing site conditions.) This corner is a
very busy intersection. Almost 15,000 cars travel along this intersection on a daily basis.
This restaurant is within a larger shopping center called Richfield Shoppes North. This
shopping center contains 57,463 sq. ft. of a primarily retail/office mix. Currently, its'
vacancy rate is at a very low level. (Please refer to Attachment B for the business listings,
size of store, and hours of operation)

CITY OF RICHFIELD
Department Of Public Safety
Memorandum
Date: Noy embar 23- 1998
To: Jesse Symynkywicz
From: Kevin Lehm=- Crime Prevention Officer
Subject: Security suggestions for Richfield Shoppes
Rieger from tilidwesi Management : oncenur?g
Ln the spring of 1998,1 met with sfatt
parking securty at R.ichneld Shopnes.
At that time, I suggested putting :pain link fence between the sections ofpr'vacy fence
along the East Side to restrict access to the parking got.
I suggested having Dairy Queen place a picnic table on he north or East Side sc patrons
could hsve a clear sigh: line to the rear of the businesses at the Richfield Shoppes. i his
would help greatly during the sununer hours, as Dairy Queen is easemely busy with
several customers ou*side. Lingg the picnic tables.
I suggested putting a gate on the north side of Dairy Queen so that it is far enough away
from Dairy Queen that :hey could still have parking. This would eliminme foot as c
and car traffic. It would require the north end of the alley be the sole entrance and exit
except when deliveries are made in wiich each business would have a key to the gate.
I suggested possibly installing A indo-vs on the East Side ofthe businesses so ra-u-al
surveillance would be easier.
I realize each of these suggestl'om is only a suggestion. and not a requitement or
expectation. Financial costs arid convenience =just a couple of the concerns a
company may have with these suggestions.
make
One other alt,-rn».i,L,e I recently thought of is to have any of the stores remodels to
the rear (east) door open to the public and encourage East Side parking. This would
make the lot safe: as more people would be coming ind going at various rimes.
I understand the concerns that the employees have about parking on the East Side as we
have noticed vehicles broken into and iteass stolen from inside the vehicle`.
If I :an be of any assistance, please give me a cell 3t 851.9875 or FA-Xre at 866-0297

Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Renewal of 1999 on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor license for Subeck
Incorporated, d/b/a Ketsana's Thai Restaurant, 7545 Lyndale Avenue South.
Background:
On November 6, 1998 the City received the renewal applications and other required
documents for the on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses for Ketsana's Thai
Restaurant. The applicant has paid the required license fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and reveals the
following:
• The corporate structure of the organization remains unchanged. Scott Bechtel and
Ketsana Bechtel are the owners of the establishment. Ketsana Bechtel continues to
serve as the General Manager. Neither of these individuals has any known criminal
history. A current list of officers is attached.
• The building and property continue to be owned by JSB Corporation, and the lease
between the applicant and the landlord continues to be in effect with all payments
current.
• All general real estate taxes, State sales and withholding taxes have been paid and
are current.
• The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage has been received showing
General Star Indemnity Insurance Company as affording the required coverage.
• An accountant's statement has been prepared and submitted. This statement
covers the period from June 1998 through October 1998 and indicates that food
sales accounted for 96% of the total sales, while 3.2 percent malt liquor and on-sale
wine sales accounted for 4% of the total sales.
• There were two Public Safety contacts with Ketsana's Thai Restaurant from
November 1997 through October 1998. This compares to no contacts for the
previous year. A breakdown of these contacts is attached to this letter.
• Environmental Health staff received no complaints in 1998 regarding Ketsana's Thai
Restaurant.
• On-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses require owners of these
establishments to comply with Resolution No. 7380, which outlines discipline they
can expect if any ongoing problems occur. A copy of this resolution has been given
to the owner of the establishment.
• There are no distance stipulations requiring notification of neighbors of issuance or
renewal of on-sale wine or 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses.
?L_
• The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Richfield Sun Current on
December 2, 1998.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1999 on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor license for
Subeck Inc., d/b/a Ketsana's Thai Restaurant with the following stipulation:
1. That the requirements are met in Resolution No. 7380.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both the City code and
State Statute pertaining to on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licensing.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the investigation
conducted by the Public Safety Department, there appears to be no reason to
deny the issuance of the license requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing. However, if the hearing is
continued beyond January 1, 1999, the Council should consider the granting of a
license extension to allow the applicant to continue to sell on-sale wine and 3.2
percent malt liquor until the rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses. Any suspension or
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation relating to alcoholic
beverages and, therefore, it is recommended that the license not be revoked or
suspended.
revocation must, according to State Statute 340A.415, be based upon a finding
that the licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute, rule or ordinance
relating to alcoholic beverages. The Council must also note that no revocation or
suspension takes effect until the licensee has been afforded an opportunity for a
hearing under Sections 14.57 to 14.70 of the Administrative Procedure Act.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the request for the renewal of Subeck Incorporated,
d/b/a Ketsana's Thai Restaurant's on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses has
been scheduled for December 14, 1998. Their current licenses expire January 1, 1999.
Therefore, if the Council decides to continue the hearing beyond December 14,any
subsequent hearing should be held before the licenses expire.

• On-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses require owners of these

• The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Richfield Sun Current on

Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1999 on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses for
Kiang's Red Pepper, Inc., d/b/a Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant, with the following
stipulation:
1. That the requirements are met in Resolution No. 7380.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both City Codes and State
Statutes pertaining to on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor licenses.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the investigation
conducted, there appears to be no reason to deny the license requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing; however, if the hearing is
continued beyond January 1, 1999, the Council should consider the granting of a
license extension to allow the applicant to continue to sell on-sale wine and 3.2
percent malt liquor until the rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the license. Any suspension or
revocation must, according to Minnesota State Statute 340A.415, be based upon
a finding that the licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute, rule or
ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The Council must also note that no
revocation or suspension takes effect until the licensee has been afforded an
opportunity for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation relating to alcoholic
beverages and, therefore, it is recommended that the license not be revoked or
suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the request for the renewal of Kiang's Red Pepper, Inc.,
d/b/a Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant's on-sale wine and 3.2 percent malt liquor
licenses has been scheduled for December 14, 1998. Their current license expires
January 1, 1999. Therefore, if the Council decides to continue the hearing beyond
December 14, any subsequent hearing should be held before the licenses expire.

Issue Statement:
Renewal of 1999 on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses for The Ground Round of Minn.,
Inc., d/b/a The Ground Round, 1500 East 78th Street.
Background:
On November 24, 1998, staff received the renewal applications for the on-sale and
Sunday liquor licenses for the Ground Round. There was a recent merger of the Parent
Company, Ground Round Restaurants, Inc., with American Hospitality Concepts, Inc.;
however, Ground Round of Minn., Inc. is still the operating entity for the restaurant and
no changes occurred within that Corporation. All required fees have been paid.
Public Safety's investigation is complete and reveals the following:
• The corporate structure of the organization has changed from last year. Mark
Lawless is now serving as President and Treasurer, Russell Savrann serves as
Vice-President and Secretary, and Salvatore Lamarca is now serving as General
Manager. None of these individuals has any known criminal record.
All general sales, real estate and withholding taxes have been paid and are current.
• The lease with A.G. Bogan (property owner) is in effect and all payments are
current.
• The $10,000 bond issued by American Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Company
has been submitted.
• The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage has been received showing
Royal Indemnity Insurance Co. of America as affording the required coverage.
Proof of workers' compensation has also been received.
• A financial statement has been prepared and submitted. This statement covers the
period from October 1997 through September 1998 and indicates that food sales
accounted for 67% of the total sales, while liquor sales accounted for 33% of the
total sales.
• There were 36 Public Safety contacts with the Ground Round from October 1997
through October 1998. This compares with 49 contacts for the previous year. A
breakdown of these contacts is attached to this letter.
• Environmental Health staff received two complaints in 1998 regarding The Ground
Round. One complaint involved sanitation in the bathroom. The other complaint
be- I
• was a food related problem. In both cases, the Bloomington Health Department
was notified and no further complaints have been received by staff.
• On-sale and Sunday liquor licenses require owners of these establishments to
comply with Resolution No. 7380, which outlines discipline they can expect if any
ongoing problems occur. A copy of this resolution has been given to the owner of
the establishment.
• There are no distance requirements in which to notify neighbors of the issuance or
renewal of an on-sale and Sunday liquor license.
• The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Richfield Sun Current on
December 2, 1998.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1999 on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses for The Ground
Round of Minn., Inc., with the following stipulations:
1. That the requirements are met in Resolution No. 7380.
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both City Codes and State
Statutes pertaining to on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the investigation
conducted, there appears to be no reason to deny the renewal of the licenses
requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing. However, if the hearing is
continued beyond January 1, 1999, the Council should consider the granting of a
license extension to allow the applicant to continue to sell liquor until the
rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses. Any suspension or
revocation must, according to Minnesota State Statute 340A.415, be based upon
a finding that the licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute rule or
ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The Council must also note that no
revocation or suspension takes effect until the licensee has been afforded an
opportunity for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
• It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation relating to alcoholic
beverages and, therefore, it is recommended that the licenses not be revoked or
suspended.
• Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the request for the renewal of The Ground Round of
Minn., Inc., on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses has been scheduled for December 14,
1998. These licenses expire January 1, 1999. Therefore, if the Council decides to
continue the hearing beyond December 14, any subsequent hearing should be held
before the licenses expire.

CITY OF RICHFIELD
RESOLUTION NO. 7380
RESOLUTION SPECIFYING CERTAIN IMPROPER
CONDUCT OF ON-SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR
LICENSEES AND STATING RECOMMENDED
DISCIPLINE THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield as follows:
1. BACKGROUND STATEMENT
The City of Richfield annually issues a number of licenses permitting the On-Sale
sale of intoxicating liquor within the City. The conduct of the licensed activity is
governed by the provisions of Section 1200 of City Code. Although, the provisions of
that Section describe in a general way what is expected of licensees in the proper
conduct of the licensed activity, the City Council is concerned that licensees should
have a more specific understanding of the types of conduct, generally described in the
Code, which may subject their licenses to discipline; and further that they have a clear
understanding of the scope and nature of the discipline which may be imposed for
certain specific conduct. The levels of discipline described in this resolution will be
imposed only in accordance with the applicable provisions of law. The list of activities
and conduct contained in this resolution is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather
concentrates on the types of conduct most frequently observed at licenses
establishments. Other activity or conduct which is detrimental to the public safety,
health, morals and welfare and which constitutes a violation of the provisions of Section
1200 of the City Code may also subject liquor licenses to discipline. The actions which
the City may take in accordance with this resolution are not intended to preclude such
further actions in law or in equity or criminal prosecution available to the City for the
conduct described in this resolution.
II. SPECIFIC PROHIBITED CONDUCT AND PROPOSED SANCTIONS.
A. Noise and Other Disturbing Conduct Within or Near the Licensed Premises.
Licensees are responsible for the conduct of their patrons while within the licensed
establishment; and of individuals within the immediate vicinity of the establishment who
are either coming to or leaving the establishment. The City is unwilling to permit the
continued operation of a licensed liquor establishment in circumstances where it is
• evident that the licensed activity is having a detrimental impact upon the health,
welfare, safety and morals of the community and patrons of the establishment. The
&14-
following discipline may be imposed upon On-Sale intoxicating liquor licenses for
verified reports of criminal misconduct occurring on or near the licensed premises and
attributable to patrons of the establishment (including persons entering or leaving):
a) For five (5) such incidents occurring within less than a 31-day period
(beginning with the date of the first of such five incidents) - suspension of the
license for up to 10 days and a civil fine of $2,000 for each incident.
b) For ten (10) such incidents occurring within less than a 61-day period
(beginning with the date of the first of such incidents) - suspension of the
license for up to 30 days and a civil fine of $2,000 for each incident.
c) For fifteen (15) such incidents occurring within any 91 day period (beginning
with the date of the first of such incidents) - suspension of the license for up
to 60 days and a civil fine of $2,000 for each incident.
The discipline outline above is intended to be cumulative in nature, and incidents
which give rise to discipline (or the right to discipline) during a shorter period may be
counted in determining whether discipline is appropriate during a longer period.
The term "verified reports of criminal misconduct" means a report made to the
director of public safety by the licensee or a complaint made by others concerning an
incident constituting a crime under the City Code or the laws of the State of Minnesota,
which, in the opinion of the director, is directly attributable to the licensed activity.
Verified reports of criminal misconduct do not of necessity mean requests for
service, and licensees shall not be required to make requests for service in situations
where the licensee is capable of resolving the incident without police assistance.
However, it is necessary for the City to have an accurate measure of the level of
criminal misconduct. The department of public safety shall establish standards and
criteria for the making of such reports by the licensee. If the licensee fails to make the
required reports of criminal misconduct in accordance with such standards and criteria,
the following additional discipline may be imposed upon its On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor
license:
a) For the first incident of failure to report criminal misconduct within any license
year - suspension of license for up to five days and a civil fine of $2,000.
b) For the second such incident in any license year - suspension of license for
up to 10 days and a civil fine of $2,000.
c) For the third such incident in any license year - suspension of license for up
to 15 days and a civil fine of $2,000.
E
B. Serving Alcoholic Beverages Beyond the Interior of the Licensed Premises or
Permitting Patrons to Leave such Licensed Premises with Alcoholic Beverages.
Licensees must assure that the service and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be
confined only to those areas permitted by the license. Failure to do so may have an
evident and adverse impact upon other activities lawfully occurring within the area and
creates a substantial risk of criminal behavior such as violation of the Open bottle Law.
The following discipline may be imposed upon On-Sale intoxicating beverage licenses:
a) The first incident during the license year - up to a 10 day suspension and
$2,000 civil fine.
b) The second incident during the license year - up to a 30 day suspension and
$2,000 civil fine.
c) The third incident during the license year - up to a 60 day suspension and
$2,000 civil fine.
d) The fourth incident during the license year - revocation of license.
C. Permitting Occupancy to Exceed the Limits Permitted Under the Uniform Fire
Code 25.114 (Overcrowding)
Licensees are absolutely bound to prevent situations in which the licensed
premises become overcrowded. The City finds that the opportunity to serve alcoholic
beverages contributes to an environmental wherein overcrowding, if not strictly
controlled by the licensee, may occur. Each liquor license issued shall state the
maximum occupancy limit for the licensed premises. The following discipline may be
imposed upon On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor licenses for incident of overcrowding verified
by the City's public safety director:
a) The first incident during the license year - up to a 10 day license suspension
and $2,000 civil fine.
b) The second incident during the license year - up to a 30 day suspension and
$2,000 civil fine.
c) The third incident during the license year - up to a 60 day suspension and
$2,000 civil fine.
d) The fourth or subsequent incident during the license year - revocation of the
license.
D. Facilitating Gambling. Licensees must not permit or allow any condition to occur
on the licensed premises which would facilitate gambling activity. Licensees may not
permit any device on the licensed premises which could be used for gambling. Such
( A-9
devices include blackjack tables, video games of chance, roulette wheels and any other
amusement or gambling device as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 349 and
609, and Richfield City Code Subsections 1100.13 and 1100.01.
For any incident of facilitation of gambling the On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor may
be suspended for up to a period of days equal in number to the period of days that such
incident continued.
E. Effect of Suspension or Revocation of Food License. On-Sale intoxicating
Liquor licenses which are issued to establishments because they qualify as restaurants
shall cease to be valid for any period of time during which the establishment's food
license is under suspension or revocation as the result of actions taken by the City
Manager, enforcement officer, or both pursuant to Subsection 615.05, subdivision 6 of
the City Code. The On-Sale sale of intoxicating liquor during such period shall
constitute an unlicensed sale.
The City Council retains the right to modify the provisions of this resolution from
time and to impose penalties in excess of those contained herein when, in the judgment
of the council it is appropriate to do so.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield this 14th day of December
1998.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 308
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Award of contract for 400 tons of soda ash for water treatment.
Background:
The chemical soda ash is used in the water treatment process to lower water hardness
and to produce soft water. Soda ash removes the non-carbonate hardness from the
water as well as assisting the lime in softening the water. Approximately 200 tons of
soda ash are required each year for treatment.
Bids were opened in a formal bidding process on November 23, 1998 for the purchase
of 400 tons of soda ash for a two-year period. The results of the bids are as follows:
Vendor Unit Price Base Bid
Feed-Rite Controls, Inc. $191 /ton $76,400
Van Waters & Rogers, Inc. $190/ton $76,000 (adjusted = $76,600)*
* The specifications asked for a firm price for a two-year contract. Van Waters &
Rogers, Inc. added a proviso for a price increase of up to $3/ton for year two. That
translates to an estimated total cost of $76,600 for a two-year contract with Van Waters
& Rogers, Inc.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes/tabulation, reject the bid of Van Waters & Rogers, Inc. and
award a two-year contract to Feed-Rite Controls, Inc., a division of Hawkins Chemical
Inc., for the purchase of approximately 400 tons of soda ash at a price of $191 per ton.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Soda ash is a necessary chemical required to soften water.
2. Feed-Rite Controls, Inc. submitted a firm price for the two-year period as the bid
documents specified and meets all requirements. Van Waters & Rogers, Inc.
submitted a firm price for only the first year.
3. There are sufficient funds available for the chemical purchase.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council may accept the bid of Van Waters & Rogers, Inc. although, because of the
price increase for year two of the contract, the total purchase price would exceed
that of the other bidder, if the $3/ton option is exercised.
2. Council may reject all bids and direct staff to readvertise; however, staff does not
believe a better price can be obtained. It should also be noted the current contract
5-1-1
will expire at the end of calendar year 1998 and it would be some time after the
expiration of the current contract before new bids could be obtained.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay a decision on this item. However, the current contract will
expire December 31, 1998 and the bids opened November 23, 1998 will hold for only a
60 day period.

Council Letter No. 306
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Authorization to execute the Cooperative Agreement between the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD) and the City of Richfield regarding permitting authority.
Background:
The MCWD Board of Managers approved this Agreement at its meeting of December
23, 1997. The City Attorney has reviewed the Agreement. The Agreement outlines
responsibilities of the City and responsibilities of the MCWD. Basically, the Cooperative
Agreement places responsibility with the City for regulation of wetlands under the
Wetland Conservation Act and for stormwater management which includes addressing
water quality, water quantity, grading and erosion within the City. The City of Richfield
has completed the revision of applicable ordinances as required in the Agreement. A
copy of the proposed Cooperative Agreement is attached for Council review.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute, on behalf of the City of Richfield, the
Cooperative Agreement between the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the City
of Richfield regarding permitting authority.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City of Richfield has developed a local water management plan with revisions
to applicable ordinances.
2. The City's local water management plan was approved by the MCWD pending
execution of this Cooperative Agreement.
3. The Cooperative Agreement will clearly establish the role of the City and the role of
the MCWD in regulating certain activities on land and in water within the MCWD
and the City.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not authorize execution of the Agreement. This would mean the MCWD would
be the responsible party for water management activities and regulations for MCWD
areas in the City of Richfield.
2. Return the Agreement for the City Attorney for modifications. Any modifications
would need to be returned to, reviewed by and approved by the MCWD before the
Cooperative Agreement would be in effect.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for consideration by the City Council at the December 14, 1998
City Council meeting.

Council Letter No. 304
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Approval of the continuation of the agreement with the City of Bloomington for the
provision of inspectional services for Richfield for the years 1999 and 2000.
Background:
The City of Bloomington has provided inspectional and enforcement services in the
areas of plumbing, heating and air conditioning, food service, forestry and plan check
for food services for several years.
The Public Works Department no longer requires contractual forestry services since
someone on Richfield's staff is able to provide that service.
The proposed contract for 1999 is $102,000 compared to the 1998 contract amount of
$111,800. With the deletion of the need for forestry services, the contract proposed for
1999 is significantly less than the 1998 contract. There is also a slight reduction in the
1999 contract for the amount of money designated for food service plan checking.
There is approximately a 3% increase in the areas of plumbing inspection and code
enforcement, HVAC inspection and code enforcement, and food service inspections
and code enforcement which includes lodging and public swimming pool inspections.
These increases are in direct relation to increased staffing costs.
It is also being proposed that Richfield enter into a two year contract with the City of
Bloomington, therefore eliminating the need to renew the agreement on an annual
basis. The proposed contract for 2000 would be $105,700 compared to the 1999
contract amount of $102,000. The increase reflected from the 1999 to the 2000
contract is directly related to an increase in staffing costs. The terms of the contract still
provide for the contract to be terminated upon the expiration of 30 days after service of
written notice upon the other party, if there should be a need to terminate it before it
expires December 31, 2000.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with the City of
Bloomington for the provision of inspectional and enforcement services for the years
1999 and 2000.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a professional level of
inspectional services to Richfield residents. Annual evaluation of their services
has shown that they are providing effective services in a very cost-effective
manner.
6-0=1
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own plumbing, heating, air
conditioning and food inspection services. The cost of hiring the staff necessary
to provide the same level of services and administrative support would be more
than the City's current expenditures, and would require a budget increase.
•
2. The Council could decide to compensate the City of Bloomington at a lower rate
that would require designated reduction in services or programs.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The renewal of the agreement between Richfield and the City of Bloomington for the
provision of inspectional services for the years 1999 and 2000 is being presented for
Council approval.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 303
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
Approval of the continuation of the agreement with the City of Bloomington for the
provision of public health services for the City of Richfield for the year 1999.
Background:
In 1977, the State of Minnesota enacted the Community Health Services Act, which
transferred the responsibility for the administration of public health programs to local
jurisdictions. The state also provided funds for the programs, and encouraged local
jurisdictions to increase the efficiency of the programs by grouping together. Richfield
and Edina entered into a joint powers agreement with Bloomington, and the program
has been administered under that agreement since that time.
The contract amount for 1999 reflects a 3% increase over the 1998 contract amount.
This is primarily due to increases in staff salaries. The 1999 contract amount will be
$184,004 while the 1998 contract amounted to $178,645.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council renew the joint powers agreement for 1999.
10 Basis of Recommendation:
The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a professional level of
public health services to Richfield residents. Annual evaluations of their services have
shown that they are providing effective services in a very cost-efficient manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own public health services.
The cost of hiring the nursing staff necessary to provide the same level of services
and administrative support would be more than the City's current expenditures,
and would require a budget increase.
2. The Council could decide to compensate the City of Bloomington at a lower rate
which would require designated reduction in services or programs.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The renewal of the joint powers agreement between the City of Richfield and the City of
Bloomington for 1999 for the provision of public health services is being presented for
Council approval.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 300
Agenda December 14, 1998
Issue Statement:
City Council resolution appointing a representative to the Richfield Tourism Promotion
Board, Inc.
Background:
On June 25, 1990 the City Council approved an ordinance to levy a 3% tax on gross
receipts of lodging from Richfield hotels and motels pursuant to Minnesota statutes.
The establishment of the Richfield Tourism Promotion Board, Inc. and the appointment
of three directors were also a part of that resolution. The terms of appointment are for
three years and are staggered to maintain board continuity.
The current members of the Tourism Board and the ending dates of their current terms
are as follows:
1. Bill Brusman, Vice President of Realty Management Services, Inc., representing the
Hampton Inn; term ending December 31, 1998.
2. Larry Zielke, Attorney, representing the Richfield Chamber of Commerce; term
ending December 31, 1999.
3. Jeff Andrews, Americinn; term ending December 31, 2000.
Mr. Brusman's appointment ends at the conclusion of 1998. He is an original appointee
of the Tourism Board and serves as the Secretary/Treasurer of the Board. Mr.
Brusman has been a very valuable part of the Tourism Board since its inception and
has been instrumental in bringing the Board to its current status. Mr. Brusman has
indicated that he would be willing to serve an additional term on the Tourism Board if he
were to be re-appointed. Staff believes that at this time, with the potential changes
before the Tourism Board such as the addition of the new Candlewood property and the
potential of another hotel in the Interchange West Project area sometime in the next
few years, it would be especially important to maintain Mr. Brusman's leadership on the
Richfield Tourism Board. For that reason staff recommends the City Council re-appoint
Mr. Brusman to a three-year term.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution regarding the re-appointment of Bill Brusman to the
Richfield Tourism Board Inc. for a three-year term ending December 31, 2001.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City Council has the authority to make appointments to the Richfield Tourism
Board.
0 2. Mr. Brusman, the representative from the Hampton Inn, has been a very active
participant in the Richfield Tourism Board and is willing to be re-appointed.
3. The Tourism Board has, since its inception, included representatives of hotel/motel
operations in Richfield.
4. Mr. Brusman has provided leadership to the Tourism Board since it's inception and
staff believes the Board would benefit from his presence in another term.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could seek another representative for this Board appointment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is suggested the City Council make the appointment of Mr. Brusman at the December
14, 1998 City Council meeting so that he may assume the position on January 1, 1999.
