Item #1 UPDATE REGARDING 66TH STREET MEDIAN DESIGN (COUNCIL MEMO NO.
101)
City Engineer Pearson discussed the results of the resident outreach efforts through Richfield
Connect and a public open house held on November 19, 2015 on the proposal to close medians
along the 66th Street Corridor.
Mr. Pearson reviewed the recommended options for consideration:
• Option A—full medians at Morgan Avenue, Knox Avenue, James Avenue & 2nd Avenue.
• Option B —West Only—full medians at Morgan, Knox and James Avenues
• Option C— enhanced park access; full median at James Avenue
• Option D — no change; full medians at previously approved location

Item #2 DISCUSSION REGARDING STEVENS AVENUE STORM (COUNCIL MEMO NO.
101)
Maury Hooper, Hennepin County, discussed two options to address the storm water capacity
issues at Stevens Avenue and 66th Street.
• Option A— gravity system to Milner Pond. Because of the large hill between the drainage
area and the pond, the pipe would have to be bored which would be a significant cost.
• Option B — acquisition of one property from a willing seller, a dry holding pond and the
most economical.
Mr. Hooper stated Hennepin County recommends proceeding with Option B from a cost
standpoint.
The City Council consensus was to proceed with Option B.
Special Worksession Minutes -2- November 24, 2015
Item #3 DISCUSSION REGARDING STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR CITY COMMISSIONS
(COUNCIL MEMO NO. 98)
Assistant City Manager/HRA Manager Dmytrenko and City Attorney Tietjen presented
proposed changes to City Code, Section 305, Commissions; Board. Several substantive and
housekeeping changes were recommended in order to provide more clear, simplified and standard
procedures governing commissions.
Mayor Goettel commented that commissions should be expanded to include youth members,
feedback from the commissions should be obtained regarding attendance requirements, and
recruiting only two times per year may be a concern for some commissions.
Ms. Dmytrenko explained the City Council could direct commissions to include youth
members.
Council Member Howard expressed concern that the 75% attendance requirement may be a
deterrent to some individuals and suggested lower the threshold and mitigate for extenuating
circumstances.
Council Member Fitzhenry suggested removing the word `automatically' for removal from the
commission because excused and unexcused absences should be considered. He added it should
be the City Council's discretion regarding removal of a Commissioner.
Ms. Dmytrenko stated the ordinance is scheduled for first reading at tonight's Regular City
Council Meeting and the ordinance would be amended with the suggested changes for the second
reading on December 8, 2015.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a resolution regarding site plan approval and variances to allow the
partial demolition of an existing building and construction of an accessory parking lot at 6232 Lyndale
Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The building at 6232 Lyndale Avenue has been vacant since June of this year when the building was
purchased by Contract Collection Systems and vacated by Nelvin's Paint and Body Shop. The site had been
approved for and used as an auto body and paint shop since 1964. The use was approved with three parking
stalls immediately in front of the building; these stalls extended into the public right-of-way. No outside storage
of vehicles as permitted, including on the adjacent land to the north, which at the time of approval was part of
another parcel that has been removed for construction of Highways 62 and 35W. This parcel is the second-
smallest commercial property in the City. The only smaller parcel is home to the seasonal Dairy Queen at
66th Street and Nicollet Avenue.
The new property owner would like to lease the building for something other than auto body and paint work.
In order to change the use of the building, the applicant must meet or approach current Code requirements
for the new use. This includes removing all parking from public right-of-way. The applicant and City have
explored a variety of options. Ownership of the remnant land to the north is to be transferred from MnDOT to
the City. When this occurs, the City would be willing to consider leasing the area to the property owner for
additional parking area; however, this process has been very slow and staff is unable to estimate when this
transfer will occur. In the meantime, the applicant is proposing to reduce the footprint of the building and to
provide three legal parking spaces in front and one stall behind the building in order to lease the building for
office or service use. With a credit for transit proximity, the minimum parking requirement for an office of this
size is six stalls. The applicant is requesting a variance for approval with only four stalls.
While redevelopment of this entire block would be ideal, staff is supportive of the proposed site plan and
requested parking variance because it improves upon current conditions. Specifically, the reduced building
size and placement of large planters along Lyndale Avenue will improve a dangerous situation in which parked
cars hang over into the public right-of-way and utilize the sidewalk as part of the drive aisle to exit via the
property to the south. As a condition of the requested variance from parking minimums, staff has discussed
with the applicant a stipulation that limits use of the building to low-intensity service and office uses such as
insurance, chiropractic care, acupuncture or similar uses. Staff also recommends a stipulation that allows an
administrative modification to this approval should the lot to the north become available for additional parking.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requests on November 23, 2015.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the resolution granting approval of the proposed site plan and variances for
modifications to the existing building and lot at 6232 Lyndale Avenue.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
See Executive Summary
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes.etc.
The General Business (C-2) District allows for a wide variety of retail and service businesses. Site plan
approval is required prior to the construction or alteration of any building in the City.
General Requirements
The proposed building reduction and site modifications will improve upon existing dangerous conditions,
while allowing for reuse and aesthetic improvements to a very difficult site. The applicant is requesting a
variance from minimum parking requirements and parking lot setbacks. All other existing conditions that
do not meet current Code requirements will either be brought up to Code (e.g. stormwater) or are
considered legally nonconforming and may continue.
Variances Requested: Required (R), Proposed (P)
- Minimum parking setback(R: 15 ft.; P: 0-1.5 ft.)
• A parking stall cannot be accommodated behind the building without setback
variances. Staff feels that this additional stall is necessary for reuse of the building
and that the addition of this striped stall will, in reality, not change the existing
condition. A fence and curb will be added along the rear property line to further
screen and protect the adjacent residential parcel. Additionally, parking lots are
required to be a minimum of three feet from adjacent right-of-way or five feet from
adjacent commercial property. The setback along the northern property line has
been reduced to zero. While designated right-of-way, it is anticipated that this land
will either remain vacant or eventually become a contiguous parking lot, making the
setback unnecessary.
- Off-Street Parking (R: 6 stalls; P: 4 stalls)
• With a reduction for proximity to frequently-operating transit, Code requires 6
parking stalls for a 1,760 sq.ft. office. In the future, additional parking may be
available on the remnant parcel to the north. For the time being, staff is supportive of
a variance due to the narrowness of the lot, so long as the uses are limited to those
with very low parking needs. Staff recommends allowances for an administrative
approval of either more intense office use or retail use should parking to the north
become available.
Additional information related to the requested variances and required findings can be found in the
attached document.
General Criteria for Site Plan Evaluation
In evaluating a site plan, the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider its compliance with
the following criteria which are discussed more fully in the attached requirements document:
• Consistency with the various elements and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
• Consistency with the purposes of the City Code.
• Consistency and harmony with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas and open
spaces.
• An internal sense of order and provision of a desirable environment.
• Appropriateness of the amount and arrangement of open space and landscaping, the building
materials, textures and colors.
• Adequacy of circulation and parking for all modes of transport.
• Use of energy-conserving design.
• Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties from negative environmental impacts.
This site is identified for Community Commercial use in the Comprehensive Plan and is one of the first
properties that people see when entering Richfield from either the Crosstown or Minneapolis. The site
has major challenges: the building essentially extends from property line to property line, the only
access to the rear of the property is through the overhead doors within the building, existing parking is
within the City's right-of-way, etc. While staff would prefer to see wholesale redevelopment of this block,
the potential for this with only a half-block of depth is limited - as is evident in other commercial corridors
throughout the City. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for improving gateways to the
Community - creating a visual means of welcoming people to Richfield. Investment and improvement of
this property will help to strengthen what was begun with the installation of the Richfield monument sign
just to the north.
Other criteria listed are improved, if not completely met(e.g. circulation, parking). In addition to the
usual stipulations of approval, staff proposes the following additions to the resolution:
• A survey must be provided prior to the issuance of any permits.
• A cross access agreement with the property to the south (6234 Lyndale Avenue) must be
recorded.
• Stormwater corrections required by the Public Works Department must be made.
• Uses shall be limited to very low intensity businesses.
• If the remnant parcel to the north becomes available for additional parking, staff shall be
authorized to approve an amendment allowing for general commercial/business uses.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
60-DAY RULE: The 60-day clock'started'when a complete application was received on November 9,
2015. A decision is required by January 8, 2016 OR the Council must notify the applicant that it is
extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total) for issuing a decision.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• A public hearing was also held before the Planning Commission on November 23, 2015 .
• Notice of the required public hearing was published in the Sun Current newspaper and mailed to
properties within 350 feet of the site.
• No members of the public spoke before the Planning Commission.
• The Planning Commission recommended approval of the requests.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• Approve the attached resolution with modifications.
• Deny the requests with findings that requirements are not met.

COUNTY, MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, the proposed site plan is for a lot that is approximately 37.5 feet
wide and 4,687.5 square feet in area; and
WHEREAS, the proposed site plan allows for parking lot setbacks of 0 — 1.5 feet;
and
WHEREAS, the City Code requires a minimum parking lot setback of 15 feet
from Residential property and 3 feet from right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the proposed site plan includes space for the parking of 4 vehicles;
and
WHEREAS, the City Code requires a minimum 6 stalls for a 1,760 square foot
office; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, Subdivision 6, provides for the
granting of variances to the literal provisions of the zoning regulations in instances
where their enforcement would cause "practical difficulty" to the owners of the property
under consideration; and
WHEREAS, based on the findings below, the Richfield City Council approves the
requested variances from Richfield City Code Subsections 534.11, Subdivisions 1;
534.11, Subd. 6; and 544.13, Subd. 6; and
WHEREAS, the City has fully considered the request for approval for the site
plan with variances; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The City Council makes the following general findings:
a. The Property is zoned General Business.
b. Office and service uses are permitted in the General Business District.
C. The site and building are existing, and have been used for automobile
repair and painting since 1964.
d. The site is the second smallest commercially zoned property in the City.
e. Reuse of this building on this site in any fashion will require variances.
f. Code states that the minimum parking lot setback from adjacent single-
family residential property is 15 feet. A variance from Subsection 534.11,
Subd. 1 is required.
g. Code states that the minimum parking lot setback adjacent to right-of-way
can be reduced to three feet in cases where modifications are being made
to an existing lot. A variance from Subsection 534.11, Subd. 6 is required.
h. Code states that the minimum required parking for a 1,760 square foot
office is 6 spaces. The proposed site plan includes 4 parking stalls. A
variance from Subsection 544.13, Subd. 6 is required.
2. With respect to the application for variances from the above-listed requirements,
the City Council makes the following findings:
a. Strict enforcement of the Richfield Zoning Code Subsections listed above
would cause a practical difficulty. The existing property cannot be used in
any fashion without variances; only site assembly could alleviate all
issues. The proposal can be adequately accommodated with the
proposed conditions to limit the intensity of the permitted businesses.
b. Unique circumstances affect the Property that were not created by the
land owner. The existing lot was created and building constructed prior to
the adoption of current Codes. These circumstances were not created by
the land owner.
C. Granting the requested variances will not alter the essential character of
the neighborhood. The requested variances will allow the reuse and
improvement of a challenging site and building. The improvements
proposed will benefit the surrounding neighborhood by improving the
parking and pedestrian conditions as well as the aesthetics of the site.
d. The variances requested are the minimum necessary to alleviate the
practical difficulty. The proposed variances are the minimum necessary to
reuse this property.
e. The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
ordinance and consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed
variance will allow reuse and improvement of a building on a significantly
constrained site.
3. With respect to the proposed site plan, the City Council finds that it will
adequately serve the purpose for which it is proposed and will not have adverse
effect upon the public safety or general welfare.
4. Based upon the above findings, variances to the above-specified requirements
are hereby approved.
5. Based upon the above findings and variances, the proposed site plan is hereby
approved according to the terms of Richfield City Code Subsection 547.13 with
the following additional stipulations:
a) A survey and revised site plan are required prior to the issuance of any
permits.
b) Parking must be striped in accordance with the approved plan and all parking

d) Uses are limited to low-intensity service and office uses such as insurance,
chiropractic care, acupuncture or similar uses approved by the Community
Development Director.
e) If and when additional off-site parking becomes available, the Community
Development Director or designee is authorized to consider an administrative
amendment to this approval which would allow additional uses with greater
demand for parking. Off-site parking areas must meet minimum City design
standards in order to be considered and counted toward parking
requirements.
f) Building permits shall not be issued until stormwater plans have been
submitted to and approved by the Public Works Department.

Part 1 - Site Plan Approval (Subsection 547.13)
In evaluating a site plan, the Planning Commission and Council shall consider its
compliance with the following:
a) Consistency with the various elements and objectives of the City's long range
plans including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use
of the property for low-intensity office or service use is not inconsistent with the
guiding Community Commercial designation. Additionally, the Comprehensive
Plan discusses the need for improving gateways to the community and the
proposal would
b) Consistency with the purposes of the Zoning Code. The purposes of the Zoning
Code include: assisting in the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan;
creating harmonious and workable relationships among land uses; enhancing
and protecting the physical appearance of the City and more. The proposal is
consistent with these purposes of the Zoning Code.
c) Preservation of the site in its natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing
tree and soil removal, and designing any grade changes so as to be in keeping
with the general appearance of neighboring developed or developing areas. The
site is already fully developed and is 100 percent impervious. The proposed
building and site have been designed so as to compliment and improve the
surrounding area.
d) Creation of a harmonious relationship of buildings and open spaces with the
terrain and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
proposed development. The proposed building fagade is complimentary to the
adjacent building on the property to the south. The site design reduces auto and
pedestrian safety issues.
e) Creation of a functional and harmonious design for structures and site features
including:
i. Creation of an internal sense of order for the various functions and
buildings on the site and provision of a desirable environment for
occupants, visitors and the general community;
ii. Appropriateness of the amount and arrangement of open space and
landscaping to the design and function of the development;
iii. Appropriateness of the materials, textures, colors and details of
construction as an expression of the design concept of the project and
the compatibility of the same with the adjacent and neighboring
structures and functions; and
iv. Adequacy of vehicular, cycling and pedestrian circulation, including
walkways, interior drives and parking, in terms of location and number
of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and
access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian,
cycling and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking so
as to be safe, convenient and, insofar as practicable, compatible with
the design of proposed buildings, structures and neighboring
properties.
This site is significantly constrained; however, the proposal will provide safe and
adequate space for the low-intensity use that is proposed. This site will likely
never be able to accommodate a business or use with high customer traffic or
turnover.
f) Creation of an energy-conserving design through design location, orientation and
elevation of structures, the use and location of glass in structures, and the use of
landscape materials and site grading. The proposal will not worsen conditions.
g) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provisions
for such matters as surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation
of views, light and air, and those aspects of design, not adequately covered by
other regulations, which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Adequate provisions are included in the approval stipulations to protect adjacent
properties.
Part 2 -Variances:
The proposed building reduction and site improvements will improve upon existing
conditions that are dangerous, while allowing for reuse and aesthetic improvements
to a very difficult site. The applicant is requesting a variance from minimum parking
requirements and parking lot setbacks. All other existing conditions that do not meet
current Code requirements are considered legally nonconforming and may continue.
Subsection 534.11, Subd. 1:
o Parking lot setback— 15 feet from adjacent single-family residential
(proposed 1.5 feet)
Subsection 534.11, Subd. 6:
o Minimum parking lot setback from right-of-way— 3 ft. (proposed 0 ft.)
Subsection 544.13, Subd. 6:
o Required off-street parking for office use is 6 stalls (proposed 4 stalls)
The findings necessary to approve variances are as follows (Subsection. 547.11):
a) There are "practical difficulties"that prevent the property owner from using the
property in a reasonable manner. It is reasonable to allow the reuse of an
existing building on an existing lot. The applicant's proposal includes
improvements where possible and will improve the site overall, especially in
regard to auto and pedestrian safety.
b) There are usual or unique circumstances that apply to the property which were
not created by the applicant and do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zone or vicinity. This lot was created prior to existing codes that dictate the
minimum size and width required for a commercial property. The building was
constructed in 1964. The applicant did not create this situation, but rather has
proposed a scenario that offers reuse of a difficult property and improvements
that will be apparent to the community. There are relatively few properties that
are this constrained in the City.
c) The variance would not alter the character of the neighborhood or the locality.
The proposed variances will improve safety in this area and the aesthetics of the
property. No negative impacts are expected.
d) The variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the practical difficulty. The
proposed variances are the minimum necessary to reuse this property.
e) The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance
and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plans are consistent
with the general purposes and intents of the Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan as discussed further in Part 1 of this document.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the approval of a resolution authorizing acceptance of a grant for$4,000 to the City of
Richfield from the Statewide Health Improvement Program Grant (administered by Bloomington Public
Health) for funding of a Bike Rack Cost Share Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Bloomington's Division of Public Health is administering the Statewide Health Improvement
Program (SHIP) Grant on behalf of Bloomington, Richfield and Edina.
Community Development staff(in consultation with Recreation Services and Public Works staff) have
proposed use of a $4,000 portion of that grant for the implementation of a Bike Rack Cost Share Program.
Staff is anticipating the inclusion of$1,333 in matching City (or HRA) funds in the next three years' budgets
(totaling $4,000) to administer the Program for three years at a level of$2,666 per year.
The grant would cover some of the costs for purchasing and/or installing bike racks at local businesses and
nonprofit organizations. Program details will be forthcoming in spring 2016.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve a resolution authorizing acceptance of a grant for$4,000 to the City of Richfield
from the Statewide Health Improvement Program Grant (administered by Bloomington Public Health)

Consideration of the approval of the renewal of the 2016 licenses for On-Sale 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff completed a staff report for each business at the time they originally applied for and received Council
approval to operate their ta)a business or to sell On-Sale 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor and Off-Sale 3.2 Percent
Malt Liquor at their business in the City of Richfield. This is simply a request to renew their annual license for
2016. There is not a public hearing requirement for renewals for these types of licenses. The businesses
named in this report are presented for Council's approval on this date.
It should be noted that five taxa companies have failed to meet the renewal deadline. Each of them has
received two separate written notices from the City as well as one telephone call from staff making them
aware of the deadline and they failed to comply within the deadline date so they are not on the agenda as of
the date of this writing. They will be contacted after the Council meeting to let them know they are unable to
operate in 2016 until their licenses/fees are received and they can be placed on a Council agenda for
approval sometime in 2016. Some of the licensees in this particular license category seem to not be willing to
adhere to deadlines like others do and this is the result of their failure to respond accordingly.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the 2016 renewal of named business licenses for On-Sale 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor
and Off-Sale 3.2 Percent Malt Liquor establishments doing business in Richfield. Approve the 2016
renewal of named business licenses for taxi companies doing business in Richfield.

photography events in the City.Currently, there is no ordinance language or standard permitting
process in place to regulate these types of activities to protect the health, safety and general welfare
of the public.

general welfare of the public.
In doing research, staff found that most of the surrounding cities do require a permit for commercial
filming and photography. Staff reviewed applications and fees from surrounding cities and drafted a city
code ordinance and created an application process. The proposed ordinance language provides clear
guidelines, procedures and processes for the issuance of permits.
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes,etch
The proposed ordinance language would be added to the City Code under a new Section 1197,
pertaining to motion pictures and commercial photography.

The City has recently and continues to be approached by individuals and companies interested in
conducting motion picture and commercial photography events in the City. The goal is to have the
ordinance language and fees in place by January 1, 2016.

• A permit application fee will be included in Appendix D.
• Any additional costs associated with motion picture or commercial photography events will be
borne by the permit holder.

The ordinance language has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

experience and to feedback received from commissioners and staff liaisons who have expressed frustration
and difficulty in interpreting and applying the current commissions' inconsistent bylaws, several amendments,
both significant and of a housekeeping nature, are proposed for Section 305 of the City Code. For example,
the proposed ordinance includes requirements for youth commissioners, residency, attendance at
commission meetings, and a consistent process for removal of commissioners.
Overall, the goal of the proposed amendments is to provide more simple, clear and consistent
standard procedures governing city commissions.
At its November 24, 2015 work session, the City Council provided feedback on specific provisions,
specifically in regards to the attendance requirement. In response, revisions have been made to Subd. 5,
Attendance, that removes the 75% attendance requirement and automatic removal for failing to meet that
requirement. In the new proposed language, the importance of attending meetings is emphasized, as well as
notifying the commission chair or staff liaison of any absence. Under Subd. 6, RemovallVacancy, language
has been added that indicates the Council can remove commission members for excessive absences from
commission meetings.
The other edit to the initial proposed code language is in Subd. 4, Youth appointments. The last sentence in
the original language was removed that gave voting rights to youth members of all commissions. Based on
City Council discussion, it seems more appropriate for each commission to determine if it's youth members
should have voting rights or serve in an advisory capacity only.
Changes to the ordinance, made after the Council work session, are shown on the attached excerpt.
If the ordinance revisions are adopted, all commissions will be directed by the City Council to amend their
respective bylaws to be in conformance with the new code requirements. Staff is also asking the Council to
adopt a resolution that rescinds resolutions relating to commissions that are no longer needed due to the new
code language or which are outdated.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1)Approve the second reading of an ordinance amending Section 305 of the City Code to codify
requirements pertaining to city commissions; and
2)Adopt a resolution approving summary publication of the ordinance; and
3)Adopt a resolution repealing Resolutions 7718, 7983, 8344, 8142, 8933, and 9282 and directing city
commissions to amend their respective bylaws in accordance with the new city code requirements.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Currently, there are several inconsistencies between city commissions' bylaws and processes. These
inconsistencies have resulted in frustration and confusion for both commissioners and staff liaisons to
interpret and apply.
In response to the City Council/Staff 2015 goal of enhancing the commission experience and to
feedback from commissioners and staff liaisons requesting more simple and consistent procedural rules,
several amendments to city code Section 305 are proposed. The amendments are both substantive and
housekeeping in nature.
Some of the more significant proposed changes to Section 305 include:
• Clarifying youth appointments to require that youth applicants must be at least 15 years of age, a
Richfield resident and currently enrolled in a high school or equivalent;
• Changing the attendance provision to require attendance at all regular commission meetings and
notification to the chairperson or staff liaison of any absences. The City Council will monitor
commissioner attendance and can remove a commissioner for excessive absences;
• Codifying the rules for residency, commission term lengths and removal/vacancy process rather
than having them addressed under separate resolutions;
• Directing that city commissions be in conformance with Section 305; and
• Requiring the use of Sturgis' Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure.
It is hoped that the adoption of these clear and consistent rules, applicable to all city commissions, will
enhance the commission experience by minimizing procedural confusion and providing commissions
with the tools necessary to hold effective and productive meetings.
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes,etch
• The proposed amendments to Section 305 of the City Code will codify requirements pertaining to
city commissions and supersede any city commission bylaws not in conformance.
• The proposed code amendments codify several rules that are currently in resolutions,
necessitating the rescission of those resolutions at the December 8, 2015 City Council meeting.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• If the ordinance amending Section 305 is approved, all city commissions will be directed
by the City Council to bring their respective bylaws into compliance with the new city code
requirements in early 2016. This schedule ensures that all commissions will be in
conformance when new commissioners are appointed in February 2016.
• The repealing of the outdated/unnecessary resolutions is to coincide with the adoption of
the Section 305 code amendments.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this action.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The City Attorney prepared the proposed ordinance amendments and recommended the process for
bringing consistency and conformity to city commissions' standard procedures.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(B)LI
Do not approved the proposed ordinance amendments or suggest modifications to the proposed language.

• If no applications were received from qualified Richfield residents or after the
interview the applicant was determined to be not qualified, it would be the
Council's discretion to appoint a qualified applicant who is a non-resident and
has a vested interest or connection to Richfield.
• Appointment of the non-resident would require a recommendation by a majority
of the commission on which the individual is desiring to serve.
• The preference would be for a Richfield resident to be appointed.
• Permit a maximum of two non-residents to serve on each commission.
3. The Council finds that it is desirable and appropriate that membership in all the
other boards and commissions of the City be limited to residents of the City.

12/2/2015
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the second reading of an ordinance authorizing the conveyance of property owned by
the City of Richfield to the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
One of the primary purposes of a City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is to purchase and sell
properties for redevelopment purposes. State statutes have established a more streamlined process for HRAs
to act in this capacity. HRA legal counsel has provided a memorandum (attached) that provides further details
on the HRA's roles and abilities related to the ownership, sale and leasing of publicly owned land. This memo
further supports staff's recommendation that City-owned parcels intended for redevelopment be conveyed to
the HRA.
In recent years, staff has encountered situations in which portions of a redevelopment site are owned by the
City while other portions are owned by the HRA. This is the case on the City Garage site and with much of
the Cedar Corridor Redevelopment area. Staff has also encountered situations where the City owns the site,
but the HRA would act in partnership with potential non-profit developers for the solicitation of funding and
other roles in the process. Often times, the applications from agencies that provide grant funding are written
in a way that presumes the body applying for funds also owns the property.
For these reasons, staff is recommending that the City convey the properties it owns for the sole purpose of
redevelopment to the HRA.
The properties in question are located in one of three areas; the Cedar Avenue Corridor, the area on the east
side of Portland Avenue just south of the 66th Street roundabout and parcels located at the former City
Garage site (see full list of properties in the attached Ordinance).
This information was provided to the City Council and HRA earlier in the year via Council Memorandum No.
28 (April 23) and at an April 28 worksession. At that time, Council Members were in agreement that this item
should be brought back for formal consideration. Since that time, staff has been working to clean up any title
issues or other issues related to each property so that the parcels are as unencumbered as possible. A First
Reading of this Ordinance was approved by the City Council on October 27, 2015.
The conveyance of the properties would result in a one-time expenditure (in the book value of the properties)
to City accounts and commensurate revenue to HRA accounts. This transaction would be reflected in the
2015 financial reports for both the City and HRA.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the second reading of an ordinance authorizing the conveyance of property
owned by the City of Richfield to the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• Staff provided City Council members with a memo (Council Memorandum No. 28) on April 23,
2015 in which this action was recommended.
• At its worksession on April 28, 2015, City Council members discussed this topic and directed staff
to draft an Ordinance for formal consideration.
• The City Council approved a First Reading of this Ordinance on October 27, 2015.
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes,etcy
• State Statutes prescribe a process allowing a City's HRA to purchase and sell properties for
redevelopment purposes.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• Six properties included in the ordinance are affected by an Option Agreement held by Ryan
Companies (Ryan). Those Agreements are set to terminate on June 30, 2016. Staff will delay the
conveyance of those properties to the HRA until after that date (unless Ryan is amenable to
terminating those Agreements prior to that date).
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• The conveyance of the properties would result in a one-time expenditure (in the book value of the
properties) to City accounts and commensurate revenue to HRA accounts. This transaction would
be reflected in the 2015 financial reports for both the City and HRA.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• The Ordinance was drafted by Julie Eddington, HRA legal counsel.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
• Delay consideration of this Ordinance in order to obtain further information about the impacts or
benefits of transferring the properties to the HRA.
• Deny approval of this Ordinance and allow the subject properties to remain under the ownership of the
City.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Stark
Community Development Director
City of Richfield
FROM: Julie Eddington
DATE: April 22, 2015
RE: HRA Holding Property for Future Redevelopment
BACKGROUND
The City of Richfield (the "City") is considering conveying property it currently holds for
redevelopment to its Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA") to take advantage of
the redevelopment abilities the HRA has under Minnesota law. You've asked for a brief
summary of the HRA's redevelopment powers, which may provide a benefit to both the City and
HRA if the properties designated for future redevelopment are transferred from City ownership
to HRA ownership.
HRA'S REDEVELOPMENT POWERS
HRA has the broad powers to create and operate "redevelopment projects" pursuant to Minn. Stat.
Sections 469.001 to 469.047 (the "HRA Act"). A redevelopment project can be any work or
undertaking to acquire property in order to remove, prevent or reduce blight or blighting factors;
construct utilities and site improvements essential to the preparation of sites for uses in accordance
with the redevelopment plan; or sell or lease land for uses in accordance with a redevelopment plan.
To redevelop properties within the City, in addition to the general powers of redevelopment set out
above, the HRA has the power to, among other things:
a. To undertake, prepare, carry out and operate projects and to provide for the construction,
reconstruction, improvement, extension, alteration, or repair of any project or any part
thereof.
b. To give, sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of real or personal property or any
interest therein, and to execute leases, deeds, conveyances, negotiable instruments,purchase
agreement and other contracts or instruments.
C. To carry out studies of the housing and redevelopment needs within the City and of the
meeting those needs.
d. To lease or rent land and buildings.
e. To own, hold and improve real or personal property and to sell, lease, exchange, transfer,
assign,pledge or dispose of any real or personal property.
£ Establish and operate a commercial rehabilitation loan program.
g. To make loans to a business, a for-profit or nonprofit organization, or an individual for any
purpose that an HRA is otherwise authorized to carry out under the HRA Act.
In addition to the powers described above, HRAs may establish tax increment financing districts
(with City Council approval). Tax increment may be used to finance or otherwise pay "public
redevelopment costs" pursuant to the HRA Act, including public infrastructure, land acquisition,
site improvements, demolition, correction of soil conditions, and administrative expenses of the
HRA.
Please contact me at your convenience with any questions regarding the foregoing.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a Right-of-Way Agreement with Hennepin County for the 66th Street Reconstruction
Project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In advance of the upcoming reconstruction of 66th Street(County State Aid Highway 53) between Xerxes Ave
and 16th Avenue, City and County staff have negotiated the attached Right-of-Way Acquisition Agreement.
Consistent with Hennepin County's Cost Participation Policy, Hennepin County will equally split the cost of
right-of-way acquisition with the City. Based on the 50/50 split outlined in the policy and proposed agreement,
the total estimated cost to the City is$5,500,000. This figure includes all required temporary and permanent
easements along the corridor as well as the purchase of eighteen full properties impacted by the
reconstruction.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds are the primary funding source for right-of-way acquisitions. As negotiated
in the attached agreement, any portion of the funding for the right-of-way costs may be provided to the
County in the form of additional road reconstruction money. This provision allows the City more flexibility in
funding its portion of the right-of-way for the project. For instance, instead of paying directly for the
associated right-of-way costs, the City could pay an additional share of the road reconstruction costs,
equivalent to the share of right-of-way, which will allow the use of street reconstruction bond funds not eligible
for right-of-way costs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the Right-of-Way Acquisition Agreement No. PW-45-19-14 between the County of
Hennepin and the City of Richfield for the purchase of right-of-way required for the reconstruction of
66th Street between Xerxes Avenue and 16th Avenue.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Project Layout
• The City Council approved the Preliminary Layout No. 413 from 1-35W to 16th Avenue at

on December 9, 2014.
• The City Council approved the Roundabout Design as the intersection control at Lyndale
Avenue and Nicollet Avenue on February 24, 2015.
Property Impacts
• The selected designs require the following right-of-way acquisition:
18 Full Acquisitions
154 Partial Acquisitions (Permanent and Temporary Easements)
• The size and locations of the easements along the corridor varies.
• The County obtained a MN/DOT Design Variance for the segment from Xerxes Avenue to
Oliver Avenue. This eliminated the need for a number of easements along that section.
• As of 11/17/2015, the ROW acquisition status is as follows:
13 full acquisitions- complete
2 full acquisitions- purchase agreements
3 full acquisitions-in negotiation
23 partial acquisitions (easements) complete
-20 partial acquisitions (easements) offer accepted
-95 partial acquisitions (easements) in negotiation

possession date of June 1, 2016 for the project to stay on schedule and not risk loss of
funding.
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes,etcy
• The 66th Street Reconstruction Project is included in the approved Five Year Street
Reconstruction Plan and the City's Capital Improvement Budget/Plan.
• The 66th Street Reconstruction Project has been identified as a priority in the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
• The Right-of-Way Acquisition Agreement needs to be approved before the acquisition process
can be complete.
• $7,840,000 in federal funds may be revoked if the right-of-way acquisition is not complete by
June 2016.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• The City's portion of the right-of-way costs are estimated to be$5,500,000 and will be paid for
using Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds and in the form of additional road reconstruction money
(Street Reconstruction Bonds), as needed.
• The total project is estimated to cost$58.64 million with the following contributions:
• $7,840,000 Federal
• $37,050,000 County
• $17,250,000 City (includes reconstruction of City utilities and undergrounding of overhead
utilities)
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and will be available to answer questions.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(Sl:
Council may choose to take no action at this time; however, if the Right-of-Way Acquisition Agreement is not
approved by March 2016 the project may be delayed or canceled.

• appraisals and appraisal services
• title opinions and updates
• document searches (judgment,name title, etc)
• closing, conveyance and recordation fees and taxes
• costs to maintain,provide security for, or remove and dispose of vacant properly, and
any improvements thereon
• costs incurred for the relocation,reconstruction, adjustment, and/or removal of existing
private or public utility conduits or other structures located in or upon lands acquired
and within present right of way when existing valid easements and/or permits provide
for reimbursement to the utility owner for the relocation,reconstruction, adjustment,
and/or removal of the existing utility facilities
Specifically excluded from the above listing are the County's personnel costs.
Damages, as used in this section, pertains to acquisition costs allowed by Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 117 and does not abrogate the meaning of the language set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement.
VI
The estimated cost to acquire the right of way and temporary easements for the
construction of the Project is Eleven Million Dollars and No Cents ($11,000,000.00). This
estimate includes anticipated costs for security,maintenance, and structure removals that may be
required on any of the properties acquired.
It is understood and agreed that the City shall be responsible for fifty(50)percent of all
acquisition costs incurred by the County for the right of way and easements acquired for the
Project.
For informational purposes only,the City's cost responsibility under this Agreement is
estimated to be $5,500,000.00.
It is recognized by the parties that the City's anticipated source of funding for the Project
may preclude its use for right of way acquisition. Therefore,the County will only invoice the
City for its share of right of way acquisition costs as established herein up to the City's available
funding,anticipated to be $2,000,000.00. Instead,the City agrees to pay a portion of the
County's construction cost share for the Project in an amount equal to the City's remaining cost
responsibility for right of way acquisition as established in this Agreement.
Attached is the"HENNEPIN COUNTY POLCIES FOR COST PARTICIPATION
BETWEEN HENNEPIN COUNTY AND OTHER AGENCIES FOR COOPERATIVE
HIGHWAY PROJECTS" (marked Exhibit "A")which is made a part of this Agreement. As
previously mentioned,the County and'the City will enter into a future cooperative agreement

of its share of the right of way acquisition costs for the Project, it is understood that the City will
be responsible for a portion of the County's participating share in the construction costs of the
Project as established in said future construction cooperative agreement.
Therefore, in addition to its participating share of the construction costs to be determined
in accordance with Exhibit"A"and specified in said future construction cooperative agreement,
the City hereby agrees to pay the County a portion of the County's participating construction cost
share for the Project,the ai-nount of said payment being equal to the City's remaining
participating share of the Project's right of way acquisition costs. As previously noted, it is
estimated that the City will pay the County$3,500,000.00 toward the County's participating
construction cost share for the Project in addition to its own participating construction cost share
as established in said future construction cooperative agreement. It is further understood and
agreed that the actual amount that the City shall pay the County shall be the actual amount
determined to be the City's actual share of the right of way acquisition costs as specified herein.
It is understood and agreed that in the event the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT)Office of State Aid and/or the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) determines
that County State Aid and/or Federal Aid reimbursement for the Project may be denied and or in
jeopardy because of the provisions of this Agreement,the City shall reimburse the County for its
share of the right of way acquisition costs for the Project in lieu of participating in the County's
construction costs as provided in the above paragraph.
It is further understood that in the event the City secures funding that it can use to
participate in its share of the right of way acquisition costs as provided for herein,the City may
reimburse the County directly for its share of the right of way costs in lieu of reimbursing the
County for right of way acquisition costs in said future construction cooperative agreement.

POLICIES FOR COST PARTICIPATION
BETWEEN HENNEPIN COUNTY AND OTHER AGENCIES
FOR COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
I. PURPOSE
To establish policies for determining appropriate division of cost participation to be used
by Hennepin County in funding cooperative roadway, traffic signal and bridge
construction projects with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, municipalities
and other agencies.
H. SCOPE
The establishment of cost policy is consistent with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 162.17,
373.01, 471.59 and Amendments.
III. GENERAL POLICIES
A. The basic premise is that the County pays for costs pepliar to County needs and
municipalities pay for costs peculiar to municipal or local needs.
B. The County may limit its participation to items eligible for reimbursement with
County State Aid Highway(CSAR) funds, notwithstanding the specific policies
contained in this document. However,the County will not request CSAH funds for
project costs assigned to the municipality as a result of the approved cooperative
construction agreement,in order not to preclude the municipality from using its
Municipal State Aid funds for those project costs.
C. A greater degree of County participation is afforded municipalities having a
population of less than 5,000 because of the function of the County roadways in these
areas. It is generally true that these roadways are of greater benefit to County-wide
users and of less benefit to local users than is the case for roadways in more urbanized
areas. In addition, this would be a.form of compensation for the absence of direct
State Aid allocations to these municipalities; notwithstanding the present County
program of Aid to Municipalities under 5,000 population.

III. GENERAL POLICIES - continued
D. It is recognized that there may be occasional differences between these policies and
written participation policies of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. In
those cases, participation will be negotiated by the County Engineer.
i
- E. When federal aid highway funds are utilized on a County highway project, this policy -
will be applied to the federal participating items and will be shared proportionally
with'the municipality. In the event federal or state grant funds are made available to a
project on a lump sum basis, the County will determine the items for which those
funds will be utilized.
IV. DEFINITIONS

V. ROADWAYS
The County's participation in roadway projects will be as follows:
i
A. Right of Way
Under 5,000 100%
5,000 and Over 50%
The County will not participate in right of way for parking lanes requested by a
municipality.
The County's percentage of participation in retaining walls and appurtenances
constructed in lieu of right of way will be the same as for right of way. Routine
maintenance shall be a municipality responsibility. Wall reconditioning/replacement
costs shall be split at the same percentage as the original installation unless a-

i
V. ROADWAYS - continued
municipality's population either rises above or falls below 5,000 between initial
t
construction and subsequent reconditioning/replacement.
Right of way required for wetland mitigation and for surface water retention basins
will be at the same participation-ratio as the remainder of the project even if the
locations of these.facilities are not contiguous to the project.
B. Grading
Under/5,000 and Over 100%
C. Surfacing
Under/5,000 and Over 100%
The County will not participate in surfacing of parking lanes requested by a
municipality.
D. Storm Sewer
The County's participation is based on the State Aid formula as defined in the State
-Add Manual.
The following formula determines the percent eligibility for State Aid funds for trunk
storm sewer and catch basins and leads. The formula allows for some contributing
drainage areas outside of the State Aid right of way that still results in 100%
eligibility for State Aid funds for the storm sewer system. The County's participation
in State Aid eligible storm sewer costs (including trunk lines, catch basin/leads, and
water quality/retention structures and basins) within the logical touchdown limits of
the County highway will be at the percentage in the Cost Participation Summary
below. The County will not participate in any portion of the drainage system not
eligible for State Aid funding. Storm sewer cost participation for frontage roads shall
be determined by the County Engineer.
Routine maintenance of catch basins and leads, and trunk lines serving the County
roadway only shall be a County responsibility. Routine maintenance of trunk lines
serving areas beyond the County roadway shall be a municipality responsibility.
State Aid Eligibility Formula
%Eligible=25% + {(State Aid Right of Way Area) (F)/Total Drainage Area x
100%
i
F= 1.0 when the area outside State Aid R/W is predominately hard-surface
(such as a commercial district)
F=2.0 where the area outside State Aid R/W is predominately residential

Hennepin County Agreement PW 45-19-14
Exhibit"A"; Sheet 9 of 18
SII. TRAFFIC SIGNAL.SYSTEMS
As traffic volumes increase, the County is being faced with an expanding number of
intersections where traffic signals are warranted in accordance with the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Installation of marginally warranted traffic
signals reduces the efficiency of moving traffic on the County highway system and
consumes construction and maintenance funds more appropriately used on higher priority
needs. The County must, therefore,be more selective in terms of which traffic signals are
installed and the extent of County participation. The County has developed a Traffic
Signal Ranking System which reflects traffic volumes and accident susceptibility and
severity. This system will be utilized to determine priorities for new traffic signals (both
temporary and permanent). As a general policy, the County will not normally install, or
allow to be installed, traffic signals at intersections with a priority factor of less than 30.
In addition, some elements of County participation may vary depending upon the factors
in the Traffic Signal Ranking System.
Municipalities under 5,000 normally will not be required to participate in costs for traffic
signal systems.
The County's participation in traffic signal projects with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, municipalities 5,000 and over and other agencies will be as follows:
A. Permanent Traffic Signal System Installations
The County will not normally install, or allow to be installed, traffic signals at
intersections with a priority factor of less than 30.
At locations where traffic signals are warranted and have a priority factor of 30 or
more in the County's Traffic Signal Ranking System, the construction costs shall be
pro-rated as follows. The construction costs include all of the control equipment and
standards, signal heads and related items, but does not include the costs of
interconnect cable, conduit, and handholes necessary to coordinate traffic signals
between intersections. These interconnect costs will be 100% County cost.
1. No Trunk Highways involved:
Two legs of the intersection or less State Aid Eligibility or
are County roadways. 25%Whichever is Less
Three legs or more of the State Aid Eligibility or
intersection are County roadways 50% Whichever is Less
2. Trunk Highways involved:
County participation shall be calculated as follows:
County cost share x (number of County legs -total number of legs) x 50%
If no leg is city/private the County will pay 100% of the County share.

VI. TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS - continued �
B. Reconstruction of Existing Traffic Signal Systems
i
Where existing traffic signals are upgraded by installation of a new system, the
County's share shall be twice that shown in Paragraph A of Section No. VL
C. Temporary Traffic Signal Installations
The County prefers that permanent traffic signals be installed initially wherever
feasible. In the event that permanent traffic signals are not feasible, the following cost
participation policies apply for temporary traffic signal installations:
- The costs for temporary traffic signals installed only for traffic control during
construction of a County project shall be paid 100%by the County.
- The municipalitywill pay the full cost of a temporary traffic signal and will not
receive any credit for those costs when a permanent traffic signal is installed if, at
the time the temporary traffic signal is installed, the accident severity factor is less
than 10 or the priority factor is less than 40.
The following shall apply to temporary traffic signals where the accident severity
factor is greater than or equal to 10 and the priority factor is greater than or equal to
40:
- For those temporary traffic signal projects with an accident severity factor greater
than 19 or priority factor greater than 49, the municipality will receive credit for
75% of the temporary traffic signal cost when the permanent traffic signal is
installed.
- For those temporary traffic signal projects with an accident severity factor of 10-
19 or a priority factor of 40-49, the municipality will receive credit for 50% of the
temporary traffic signal cost when the permanent traffic signal is installed.
D. Electrical power shall be furnished by the municipality. Source of power, including
transformer, shall be provided by the municipality.
E. Maintenance for all traffic signals on County roadways shall be furnished by the
County when the County is the road authority.
F. The entire cost of necessary equipment, installation and maintenance of any traffic
signal emergency preemption equipment will be borne by the municipality.
G. Costs for County furnished equipment such as,but not limited to, controller cabinets,
mast arms,poles, etc. will be apportioned the same as the traffic signal
installation/reconstruction costs.
H. When street lighting is integral to the traffic signal pole, the cost will be included with
installation.

The County will net participate in the installation of new street lighting as long as the
lighting adequately lights the County highway. The County will participate in the
installation of pedestrian level lighting along sidewalks/trails if street lighting does not
adequately light them or if the pedestrian level lighting can adequately light both the
street and sidewalks/trails. Lighting shall become the property of the municipality.
Participation in the relocation or reconstruction of existing street lighting will be on the
same basis as for municipal utility relocation or reconstruction(see Paragraph I. of
Section No. V.).

the County and the municipality for other construction items. Mobilization,Field Office
and Field Laboratory, and Traffic Control are construction items and shall be subject to
the negotiated percentage charge for engineering.
XV. INVOICE AMOUNT COMPUTATION
After bids have been received and a contract awarded, and also upon completion of
construction, the unit prices shall be substituted for the estimated unit prices/quantities
and the percentage ratio established originally shall be recomputed.
XVI. UTILIZATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
This policy has been included to address the use of Tax Increment Financing on County
projects by municipalities. Tax Increment Financing limits expansion of the tax base for
new development and, thereby, limits the availability of additional County Property Tax
funding which might be used on the County highway system.
The County's participation in a project where Tax Increment Financing is utilized by a
municipality will be as follows:
At the time a municipality is requested to approve the preliminary plans for a project, the
municipality must identify,by resolution, whether it intends to use Tax Increment
Financing for any portion of the project cost. If the municipality elects to use Tax
Increment Financing from any Economic Development District for any portion of the
project cost,municipal participation will be 50% of the total engineering and construction
cost and 100% of the right of way cost for any portion of the project within that
municipality.
XVII. ROADSIDE ENHANCEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The Roadside Enhancement Partnership Program has been incorporated into these
policies and governs only those projects which are along County road corridors within
municipalities located entirely within the Metropolitan Urban Services Area on December
8, 1998 and have been funded from the "Highway Enhancement" element of the 1999
Capital Budget which was established by the County Board of Commissioners on
December 8, 1998 (Resolution No. 98-12-701R1).
County highway corridors in municipalities located wholly within the 1999 Metropolitan
Urban Services Area(MUSA) were developed during an era when community interest
and focus was on the accommodation of the automobile. As a result, those corridors
tended to lack aesthetic roadside features and produced somewhat stark
conditions with little visual appeal or consideration for mixed use, i.e. intermodal. The
goal of the Roadside Enhancement Partnership Program is to enhance the roadside
environment of such County highway corridors and bolster community support, in terms
11 Hennepin County Agreement PW 45-19-14
Exhibit"A"; Sheet 14 of 18
XVII. ROADSIDE ENHANCEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM- continued
i
i
of both acceptance and financial assistance, for projects intended for such enhancement.
In addition, the program is intended to increase traveler awareness that such corridors are
under the jurisdiction of the County, but are also intended to support the economic
viability and sustainability of the communities and neighborhoods through which they
traverse.
Program Objectives:
The Roadside Enhancement Partnership Program objectives are to:
-remove unsightly roadside features
- establish the roadway as a good neighbor
-make a positive impression on roadway users
- increase motorist awareness that the road is a County highway
- improve safety for all types of travelers
promote multi-modal use of the corridor
Program Prioritization for County Funding:
Enhancements.Which Improve Corridor User Safety
It is important to improve corridor user safety for motorists, bicyclists;pedestrians and
transit patrons as an element of a streetscape enhancement. When municipalities and
community organizations develop corridor enhancement programs, the financial incentive
offered by the partnership program will focus first on improvements which promote
safety. Examples of safety improvements which may also be defined as enhancements to
the streetscapeiinclude:
-undergrounding of utilities when poles lie within vehicle recovery zones
-construction of off-road bicycle paths which will remove bicyclists from the roadway
-construction of sidewalk where safety of pedestrian traffic, existing or projected,
necessitates such action
-installation of transit stops to define locations for patrons and provide shelter from
the elements
-installation of street and/or pedestrian lights
Enhancements,Which Promote Multi-Modalism
In order to improve modal options available to citizens, the partnership program will
provide financial incentive for improvements which offer an alternative to single
occupancy vehicles as streetscape enhancements are developed. Examples of multi
modal improvements include:
i
-installation of transit shelters, benches and hard surface paving
-construction of bikeways and multiple use trails
-construction of sidewalks
-installation of bicycle racks

XVII. ROADSIDE ENHANCEMENT PARTNERSHIP PICOGRAM - continued
i
Roadway Beautification
Although projects which promote corridor user safety and multi-modalism are of higher
priority within the context of corridor enhancement, improvement of a corridor's visual
aesthetic remains a strong priority of the partnership program. The partnership program
is intended to restore an aesthetic appeal to the roadside and restore the County road
corridor as a"good neighbor".within the community. Examples of roadway
beautification elements include:
-planting materials and appurtenances which support their viability(does not include
irrigation)
- installation of vertical elements (bollards, banner poles, etc.)
-installation of streetscape materials to establish a theme consistent with area architecture
(does not include irrigation)
Screening/Sgparation of Adjacent Properties
Occasionally, it is necessary to screen abutting properties from a roadway corridor as a
means of enhancing the visual aesthetics of the area. Separation of properties from the
corridor may also serve to improve corridor user safety(fences separating parking lots
from pedestrian ways).
Increase Awareness of County Highway Jurisdiction
In order to improve public awareness of the existence of a road as a County highway, the
partnership program will provide a financial incentive for improvements which recognize
the County's presence. Examples of elements which increase public awareness include:
-monuments at municipal entries which recognize the County
-roadway/roadside signage which identifies the road as a County route
Ownership/Maintenance of Improvements
The partnership program anticipates that municipalities will become owners of and will
be responsible for the maintenance of enhancements financed by the County.
Partnership Program Funding Levels
County funding under the partnership program is not intended to further write down
municipal cost participation if funding for these items is provided elsewhere in this policy
or from other County funding sources.
Street Light Installation 50%
The partnership program will participate with municipalities to provide adequate, uniform
street lighting for the=safety of motorists,bicyclists and pedestrians.
Pedestrians Level Light Installation 50%
Where street lighting cannot serve the sidewalk or off road trail, the partnership program
will participate in the cost.
If street lighting can serve the sidewalk or off road trail, the partnership program will not
participate in the cost.

XVII. ROADSIDE ENHANCEMENT PARTNERSHIP PICOGRAM- continued
I
Under org ending of Overhead Utilities 50% or 33%
The partnership program will participate with municipalities based upon conditions that
exist along the corridor. If the undergrounding is for safety purposes, the partnership
program will contribute at a 50% level. If the undergrounding is to enhance the visual
- aesthetics of the corridor,the partnershipprogram will contribute at a 33% level.
Note: The maximum partnership program contribution for undergrounding overhead
utilities will be$500,000 per centerline mile(project length) under the 50%level
and$330,000 per centerline mile (project length)under the 33%level.
Construction of Sidewalks for Pedestrian Safety 25%
The partnership program will participate where pedestrian safety, existing or projected,
necessitates construction of sidewalks.
Enhancements that Promote Multi-Modalism 50%
The partnership program will participate to promote the use of transit by the public,
including transit stops, shelters, benches, hard surface paving, bike racks, bikeways and
multiple use trails.
Roadway Beautification 33%
The maximum partnership program contribution will be $330,000 per centerline mile.
Note: Since surface treatments (color, scoring patterns, etc.)have limited visual impact
on the motorist, the partnership program will not contribute toward the cost of the
improvements.
Screening/Separation of Adjacent Properties 50%
The partnership program will participate equally with municipalities to provide security
for corridor users. Examples of security improvements include fencing which separates
parking lots from adjacent public bicycle and pedestrian ways and lighting at transit.stops.
Increase Awareness of County Highway Jurisdiction Up to 50%
The partnership program will contribute up to 50% for monuments at municipal
boundaries that recognize the County and the road as a County highway. i

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of the adoption of resolution supporting an additional median design for 66th Street at
James Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to the scope of the 66th Street reconstruction project, a Value Engineering Study was required and
completed by MnDOT on October 9, 2015. One of the recommendations from that study was additional
medians along 66th Street in the areas between Penn Avenue to 1-35W and Nicollet Avenue to Portland
Avenue. These access control medians were not included in the original design layouts previously approved
by City Council.
As directed by City Council, a public open house was held on November 19, 2015 to gather feedback to the
proposed medians. As a result of that feedback, staff recommended four options for medians to the Council at
the November 24, 2015 worksession. The Council requested that'Option C', with one additional median at
James Avenue, be continued for formal consideration.
The median at James Avenue creates an improved pedestrian access to Monroe Park for users north of 66th
Street. In addition, the access impacts to residents of a median at this location are minimized since there is
no south leg to the intersection. For these reasons, the James Avenue location likely provides the greatest
benefit to impact ratio of all options proposed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt a resolution approving the addition of a full-closure median on 66th Street at James
Avenue with the inclusion of an enhanced pedestrian crossing to Monroe Park.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT

• East Segment- 10/28/2014
• West Segment- 12/09/2014
• Intersections (Roundabouts) - 02/24/2015
VE Study Recommendations
• Additional access control medians between Penn Avenue and 1-35W.
• Additional access control medians between Nicollet Avenue and Portland Avenue.
• Recommended medians would create right-in, right-out intersections at approximately every other
side street.
• Other recommendations did not affect layout(staging, contract letting, etc.).
Staff Recommendations Based on Public Input
• Option A-Additional full medians at: Morgan Ave, Knox Ave, James Ave, 2nd Ave.
• Option B -Additional full medians at: Morgan Ave, Knox Ave, James Ave.
• Option C-Additional full median at James Ave.
• Option D - "No change", Full medians only at previously approved locations.
B. POLICIES(resolutions,ordinances,regulations,statutes,etch

Transportation)
• The addition of a full-closure median with an enhanced pedestrian crossing at James
Avenue is consistent with multiple City planning documents including:
• Street Reconstruction Guiding Principles Document
• Complete Streets Policy
• Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 6—Transportation)
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
Hennepin County is at 85% design and needs any additional design changes to be approved by
December to complete the plans by the required funding dates.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The additional median will have minimal impact to the cost of the project.

2. The rates and charges for the use and availability of the system are determined through
the use of a "Residential Equivalent Factor" (REF). One REF is defined as the ratio of
the average volume of surface runoff coming from one acre of land and subjected to a
particular use, to the average volume of runoff coming from one acre of land subjected
to typical single-family residential use within the City during a standard one year rainfall
event. The REF's for the following land uses within the City and the billing
classifications for such land uses are as follows:
LAND USES REF CLASSIFICATION
Cemeteries .25 1
Parks and railroads .75 2
Two-family residential 1.00 3
Single-family residential 1.00 4
Public and private schools
and institutional uses 1.25 5
Multiple-family residential
uses and churches 3.00 6
Commercial, industrial, and
Warehouse uses 5.00 7
3. The basic system quarterly rate for storm sewer service is $72.50 per acre of land.
$14.50 is the quarterly rate for a single-family residence, which is considered to have an
acreage of one-fifth acre. The charge made against each parcel of land is then
determined by multiplying the REF for the parcel's land use classification times the
parcel's acreage times the basic system rate.
STREET LIGHT RATES AND CHARGES FOR 2016
1. Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes, Section 429.101 and Section
825 of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield, the rates and charges for City street
light service are hereby established to be those set forth in the following paragraphs of
this resolution:
2. The street light fee for residential single family property is $5.77 per quarter.
3. Rates for other land uses will be determined by land use types based on the following
table:
STREET LIGHT LAND USES:
COM All commercial properties, to include multifamily residents (apartments) and
industrial parcels.
RES All residentially coded parcels.
PUB Public buildings, i.e. City Hall, City Garage, and Fire Stations
CHURCH All Churches also to include cemeteries and activity buildings associated with
a Church
SCH All schools, to include private and public schools.
PRK All parks owned by the City of Richfield, also to include Nature Centers and all
"properties" located within city park parcels
DPLX Addresses that split a residential lot, to include townhomes, 3-plexes, and 4-
plexes.

4. The multiplier of "5" is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre;
hence multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
5. The multiplier of 1.25" " is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre
and multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
However, the total area of each parcel is not proportional to the number of street lights in
an equivalent residential area so the factor of 5 is reduced by 75%, producing 1.25.
6.5% PENALTY ON PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
1. Customers will have twenty eight (28) days to pay their water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, and street light quarterly bills from the date of the mailing by the City. Any unpaid
amount will be added to the next quarterly bill along with a 6.5% penalty on the
delinquent amount.
2. The penalty charge when billed on past due accounts shall be allocated proportionally
between the City's water fund, sewer fund, and storm sewer fund based on the user
fees billed for each fund.

PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE
CITY OF RICHFIELD
CITY POLICY
DATE: January 1, 2016
SUBJECT: Public Purpose Expenditures
Background
Pursuant to provisions of the Richfield City Charter and the statutes and laws of the State of Minnesota,
which permit and require the expenditure of public funds for public purposes, the City of Richfield
believes it necessary and appropriate to provide assistance and guidance to the officials, employees and
representatives of Richfield to aid in the determination of when public funds may be spent for a public
purpose.
Definition
A public purpose expenditure is one which relates to the purpose for which the City of Richfield exists
and the duties and responsibilities of Richfield, its elected and appointed officials, employees and other
representatives.
Public Purpose Guidelines
A. Training and development programs for Richfield employees serve a public purpose when those
training and development programs are directly related to the performance of the employees'job-
related duties and are directly related to the programs/services for which the City is responsible.
B. Payment of employee work-related expenses, including travel, lodging and meal expenses, serves a
public purpose when those expenses are necessarily incurred by Richfield employees in connection
with their actual work assignments or official duties and those expenses are directly related to the
performance of the governmental functions for which Richfield has responsibility.
C. Appropriate safety and health programs for Richfield employees serve a public purpose because they
result in healthier and more productive employees and reduce certain costs to the City and the
taxpayers of Richfield, including various costs associated with workers' compensation and disability
benefit claims, insurance premiums and lost time from employee absences.
D. Public expenditures for appropriate Richfield employee and volunteer recognition programs serve a
public purpose because formally recognizing employees and volunteers who make significant
contributions and demonstrate their commitment during the performance of their duties result in
higher morale and productivity among all Richfield employees and volunteers, and therefore help the
City to fulfill its responsibilities efficiently and more cost effectively.
E. Public expenditures for food and refreshments associated with official Richfield City functions serve a
public purpose when the provision of food or refreshments is an integral part of the function and is
deemed necessary to ensure meaningful participation by the participants.
F. Public expenditures for appropriate community and customer outreach and similar activities serve a
public purpose when those expenditures are necessary for Richfield to ensure the efficient operation
of its programs/services, promote the availability and use of City resources, and promote
coordinated, cooperative planning activities among and between the public and the private sectors.
Specific Programs and Expenditures
Every City of Richfield expenditure must be valid based upon the public purpose for which it is
purchased. The following items are deemed to meet the Council definition of public purpose
expenditures.
PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE PAGE 2
A. Employee Recognition and Engagement Programs
The Richfield City Council recognizes the hard work and service performed by the employees
of the City through a formal Employee Recognition Program. The City Council believes the
benefits of attracting, retaining and motivating employees through an Employee Recognition
Program support employee job satisfaction, which in turn impacts cooperation and
productivity. The result is to provide excellent public and customer service to better serve the
interests of the citizens of the community.
The Employee Recognition Program is considered "additional compensation" for work
performed by employees but is entirely dependent on receiving funding from year-to-year. No
provisions of this policy, or its administration, shall be subject to review under the grievance or
arbitration provisions of any collective bargaining agreement.
The Program may include:
1. City employees completing 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years of service may receive a
service award not to exceed $150 in value, as determined by the City Manager.
2. Annually, the City may have an annual budget allotted to the City staff's Employee
Recognition & Engagement Team.
3. Annually, the City may sponsor a Volunteer Recognition event to promote teamwork and
coordination among the City Council, Department Directors, Commission/Committees, and
employees. This event and/or a token gift for invited participants and their guests also
serve as de minimus compensation for the service provided by the volunteers.
4. Annually, the City may sponsor a Holiday Party for City employees. In lieu of a Holiday Party,
the City may sponsor an annual employee event, such as Rootbeer Float Day.
5. The City supports other events that are planned and paid for by employees. Examples of
such events include holiday gatherings, golf and/or bowling tournaments.
6. The City supports recognition clocks and up to $50 for a cake in recognition of long-time
service or retirement for employees, volunteers and elected officials.
7. Annually, at the end of each calendar year, each Department may receive designated funds
related to participating in and promoting safety practices in their respective
Departments. Each Department may use such funds to sponsor an employee event
recognizing their employees' safety accomplishments.
The cost of the elements of the Employee Recognition Program will be included in the City of
Richfield Annual Budget. This item will be approved annually by the City Council as a part of
the overall budget approval process which includes a public hearing on the proposed budget.
B. Employee Wellness and Safety Programs
The City Council recognizes the importance of employee fitness and health as it relates to the
overall work and life satisfaction of the employee and the overall impact on the City's health
insurance program. As such, the City Council supports an Employee Wellness Program, which
has been designed to educate employees on fitness/health issues.
The Employee Wellness Program is considered "additional compensation" for work performed
by employees, but is entirely dependent on receiving funding from year-to-year. No provisions
of this policy, or its administration, shall be subject to review under the grievance or arbitration
provisions of any collective bargaining agreement.
PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE PAGE 3
The cost of an Employee Wellness Program will be included in the City of Richfield Annual
Budget. This item will be approved annually by the City Council as a part of the overall budget
approval process which includes a public hearing on the proposed budget.
The Employee Safety Program is funded by the Self-Insurance Fund. The City supports
programs created by the Human Resources Division and the Safety Committee to promote and
maintain a safe work environment. Safety incentive programs such as Richfield Safety Pays,
which provide the opportunity for cash prizes for accident/injury-free work days, is an example of
such programs. Such safety incentives shall be included in the City of Richfield Annual Budget.
C. Meeting Food/Meals
The City Council recognizes that situations in which City business needs to be discussed can
and do occur during meal hours (i.e. luncheon meetings). In addition, there are public and
employee meetings and events in which reasonable refreshments may be necessary to create
a more productive environment and to be responsive to participants' time schedules. The
following items are deemed to meet the Council definition of public purpose expenditures in
regards to food and meals.
1. Meals and refreshments are allowed at City meetings and events that have a purpose of
discussing City issues. These meetings would normally have a pre-planned agenda.
2. Meals and refreshments are allowed at employee meetings and events that have a purpose
of discussing City issues or are a part of employee training. These meetings would also
normally have a pre-planned agenda. These meetings could include new employee
receptions to introduce new employees to existing employees, provide an orientation to the
City, and promote teamwork and cooperation. This does not include routine staff meetings.
3. Meals and refreshments are allowed when they are part of a breakfast/lunch/dinner meeting
for official City business when it is the only practical time to meet. Usually these meals
involve meeting with City Council members, Committee/Commission members, business or
civic organizations. Payment for fees relating to a special event, such as a Chamber of
Commerce event, may also be allowed when approved by the City Manager and when
attendance is deemed to meet the public purpose guidelines for community or customer
outreach and marketing of the City.
4. Meals and refreshments may be provided during official meetings of the City Council, City
Council committees, advisory boards/commissions, and taskforces that have purpose of
discussing City business. These meetings would normally have a pre-planned agenda.
5. Travel expenses for employees as outlined in the Richfield Travel Reimbursement Policy.
6. Meals and refreshments are allowed where employees or volunteers are participating in a
City-sponsored special event, participating in an outside event as an official representative of
the City, or working additional hours and where the Department Director deems appropriate
as recognition of efforts above those normally required. Because emergency personnel are
often called to perform for extended periods of time and duties where refreshments are
important to duty performance, emergency response personnel may be provided
refreshments or food when it is deemed appropriate by the City Manager or Department
Director to assure the delivery of quality emergency response service.
7. No purchase of alcoholic beverages is allowed at any time.
The cost of these meals or fees is included in the departments' travel/conferences line-item in the
City of Richfield Annual Budget. These items are approved annually by the City Council as a part
of the overall budget approval process which includes a public hearing on the proposed budget.
PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE PAGE 4
D. Membership, Dues, and Donations
The City Council has determined that the City will fund memberships and dues (individual or
organization) in professional organizations and City social and community organizations when the
purpose is to promote, advertise, improve or develop the City's resources and relationships and
not personal interest or gain.
The cost of memberships/dues is included in the departments' dues and subscriptions line-item
in the City of Richfield Annual Budget. These items are approved annually by the City Council
as a part of the overall budget approval process which includes a public hearing on the
proposed budget.
All donations must be approved by the City Council during the annual budget process and/or by
City resolution. Donations provided by the City must be for programs that serve our citizens and
are deemed to meet the public purpose guidelines.
E. Education Reimbursement
The Personnel Policy contains guidelines for a Richfield Employee Education Program (BEEP).
Job related advanced education meets the public purpose guidelines of this policy. The amount
available for this program shall be considered annually. The cost of this program is contained in
the City of Richfield Annual Budget.
F. Clothing and Other Sundry Items
Employees may receive T-shirts, and other sundry items of nominal value ($10.00) when these
items; are made available to the general public or if these items are determined by the City
Manager to be important to the successful involvement of employees in special City-sponsored
or City-supported events (i.e. National Night Out, etc.). Employees may be supplied with
uniforms, clothing, boots and other gear necessary for the performance of their job. The cost of
these items for City-sponsored or City-supported events shall be contained in the City of
Richfield Annual Budget.

purpose.
