• CITY OF RICHFIELD, ,MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 166
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution establishing a Building Code Board of Appeals to review
decisions of the City's Building Official.
Background:
The Uniform Building Code, as adopted in Richfield, requires the City Council to appoint
a board of appeals to review decisions of the local building official (UBC 105 is
attached). The purpose of the Building Code Board of Appeals is to "determine the
suitability of alternate materials and methods of construction and to provide for
reasonable interpretations of this Code." It is important to note that the appeals
process is not intended to permit waivers or variances of Code provisions.
The members of the Board of Appeals must be "qualified by experience and training to
pass upon matters pertaining to building construction, and who are not employees of
the jurisdiction. The Building Official shall be an ex officio member of, and shall act as,
secretary to said board."
The Building Code Board of Appeals to be appointed at the June 23 City Council
meeting is recommended to consist of three members. The staff has contacted three
individuals who are qualified in the building code and have expressed an interest in
serving in this volunteer capacity. The three Board of Appeals candidates are:
• George Magdal, Fire Marshal, City of Hopkins. Mr. Magdal is a resident of Hopkins
and is very experienced in building code matters.
• John Oksness, General Contractor. Mr. Oksness is a Richfield resident and the
President of Tancor Construction, Inc. He has 20 years of experience in building
construction and design.
• Russell Smith, Building Official, University of Minnesota. Mr. Smith is a resident of
Richfield and has extensive experience as a public building official at the University
of Minnesota. Mr. Smith is also an arbitrator on the panel of the American
Arbitration Association and serves as Chair of the Education Committee at Inver
Grove Community College.
The appeals process would consist of the following steps:
1. Review with local building official.
2. Request review by Building Code Board of Appeals.
3. Board of Appeals' decision reviewed by State Building Codes and Standards
Division.
4. Appeal State Building Codes and Standards Division interpretation to the
Commissioner pursuant to MN Statutes 16b.67.
•
It should be noted that any person dissatisfied with the Commissioner's determination
may seek review in District Court.
Recommended Motion:
Approval of a resolution establishing a Building Code Board of Appeals to review
decisions of the City's Building Official
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The establishment of a Building Code Board of Appeals to review decisions of the
City's Building Official is a requirement of the Uniform Building Code.
2. This provides citizens and contractors an opportunity to have a board hear of their
concerns relating to requirements made by the Inspection division staff or Building
Official.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could choose not to establish a board of appeals to review decisions
of the City's Building Official which would mean that the City would not be in
compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Consideration of a resolution establishing a board of appeals to review decisions of the
City's Building Official is being submitted for City Council review at this time.

• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. - 165
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of resolution amending Appendix D of the Richfield City Code relating to
fee structure changes for plumbing permit fees.
Background:
Appendix D currently requires a per fixture fee for both residential and commercial
plumbing permits. Staff proposes a change to a 2% of job cost permit fee, keeping the
current minimum fees the same and adding an $18 minimum for work complying with
Point of Sale inspections.
The net impact on residential permit fees will be negligible. The net impact on
commercial fees will be increased to cover the cost of commercial inspections and to
remain consistent with neighboring municipalities. The new fee schedule will be the
same as the City of Bloomington. Edina and St. Louis Park currently use a sliding
percentage with approximately the same permit rates.
• Recommended Motion:
Approve a resolution amending Appendix D of the Richfield City Code updating the
plumbing fees, effective July 1, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. To more accurately reflect time and cost spent on commercial plumbing
inspections while keeping residential plumbing fees to a minimum.
2. The City of Bloomington recently increased their plumbing permit fees to 2% of
total job cost. Since Richfield contracts with the City of Bloomington for plumbing
inspections, it would be appropriate to continue to keep our fees consistent
between the municipalities.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could. decide not to approve the Appendix D amendments.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Staff requests consideration at the June 23, 1997 City Council Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,

• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 164
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution approving the 1997 -1999 labor contract for the
International Association of Firefighters Local 1215.
Background:
City staff has completed negotiations with the International Association of Firefighters
Local 1215 on a three -year labor agreement for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, subject
to City Council approval.
The bargaining unit is represented by the International Association of Firefighters to the
statewide organization. Local 1215 represents the positions of Firefighters, Fire
Lieutenants and Fire Captains. There are presently 24 employees represented within
this unit.
The following issues were negotiated between the representatives of Local 1215 and
the City and represent overall increases of 3.54 % for 1997, 3.86% for 1998 and 3.20%
for 1999, as calculated on the BMS form:
•
1. SALARIES
The parties agreed to a settlement which includes a January 5, 1997 wage increase
of 3% across the board, a January 1, 1998 wage increase of 3% across the board,
and a January 1, 1999 wage increase of 3% across the board. This is a similar
increase given to other employee groups.
2. EMPLOYER'S INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION
The parties agreed that the maximum employer's contribution for health insurance
be increased by $20 to $365 per month per employee, effective January 1, 1997, an
increase of $20: to $385 per month per employee, effective January 1, 1998, and an
increase of $20 to $405 (or whatever increase General Services and Management
groups receive) per month per employee, effective January 1, 1999. This is
identical to other employee groups for 1997, 1998 and 1999.
The parties also agreed that the employer's contribution for dental insurance may
increase by $2 to $26 per month per employee for individual coverage for 1997,
1998 and 1999 if the premium increases that much.
3. CLOTHING ALLOWANCE
The parties agreed that the employer increase the annual clothing allowance from
• $380 to a maximum of $400 per year for 1997, to $415 per year for 1998 and to
$430 per year for 1999.
• 4. HOLIDAY COMPENSATION
The parties agreed that effective January 1, 1997 employees will a) be paid time
and one -half pay for all hours worked on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and b)
have the option of selling back one additional holiday midyear, bringing the total to
three such holidays. Effective January 1, 1999, employees will also be paid time
and one -half pay for all hours worked on Memorial Day and Independence Day, as
well as Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The time and one -half provisions are
similar to other represented groups and other cities.
5. LONGEVITY
The parties agreed that effective January 1, 1998, an additional 0.5% is added to all
longevity steps. This provision makes the longevity benefit more competitive with
other cities.
6. PHYSICAL FITNESS
The parties agreed to establish a physical fitness program. It allows employees to
convert 0.7 hours sick leave biweekly to holiday leave by maintaining an exercise
program. This benefit is identical to Police Officers.
7. VACATION
The parties agreed that beginning the twenty -fifth year, employees will begin
• accruing vacation leave at a rate of 11.54 hours per biweekly payroll (300 duty shift
hours per year).
8. DISABILITY RESERVE
The parties agreed to increase the accrual cap from 840 hours to a maximum of 960
hours, decrease the accrual rate from 3.46 hours, decrease the accrual rate from
3.46 hours to 3.31 hours per biweekly payroll period, and increase the cash bank
from 1.15 hours to 1.30 hours per biweekly payroll period.
The parties also agreed on minor housekeeping changes.
No other changes in the bargaining agreement were negotiated. Overall, the package
negotiated by the City and Local 1215 is comparable to other settlements for City
employee groups for 1996.
The attached resolution provides for Council ratification of the agreement and the
contract is signed by the Firefighters.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the labor agreement with the
International Association of Firefighters Local 1215 for the 1997, 1998 and 1999
• calendar years.
1.1- 0,
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City and Local 1215 have negotiated a settlement for all of the three years the
bargaining agreement covers.
2. The proposed agreement provides for economic benefits for the labor unit.
3. The agreement appears to be a fair and equitable settlement for both Local 1215
and the City.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City could elect not to approve the provisions in the 1997 -1999 labor
agreement, resulting in additional bargaining and /or binding arbitration.
2. The City Council could defer ratification of the contract to a future meeting.
However, that would delay processing back pay to individuals in the unit.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
In order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify payroll records in a timely
manner and to proceed to process the year of 1997 to date for wages and benefit
changes included in the contract referenced herein, it is recommended that the City
Council act on June 23, 1997 to adopt the attached resolution providing for contract
• changes and implementation effective January 1, 1997.

Council Letter No. 163
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of an application for a renewal of a residential kennel license for Ethel
Zobel, 6800 Cedar Avenue.
Background:
On June 11, 1997, Ethel Zobel submitted an application for a residential kennel license.
She owns three dogs. Ms. Zobel's application contains all contiguous property owners'
signatures.
On June 16, 1997, an inspection of the property was conducted ,by a Community
Service Officer. There were no apparent problems found at that time.
The City has adopted a policy that staff notify neighbors surrounding the area of the
residential kennel license. Staff received no calls or complaints from any of the
neighbors.
Although this application is for three dogs, it does not exceed the maximum number of
six animals that was approved by the Council as policy on July 22, 1991.
Recommended Motion:
. Staff recommends that the application for a residential kennel license be approved for
Ethel Zobel, 6800 Cedar Avenue.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is up to the animal owner to prove that the keeping of more than two dogs does
not have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Ms. Zobel has been able to do
this.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to deny Ms. Zobel's residential kennel license. This
would mean that she would have to reduce the number of animals on her property
from three to two.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Recommendation to approve a residential kennel license for Ethel Zobel, 6800 Cedar
Avenue, is presented for Council consideration at this time.

six animals that was approved by the Council as policy on July 22, 1991.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the application for a residential kennel license be approved for
• Ruth Peterson, 2800 West 71st Street.

not have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Ms. Peterson has been able to
do this.

would mean that she would have to reduce the number of animals on her property
from four to two.
Discussion /Decision Mode:

Council Letter No. 158
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a request for an off - street parking permit to allow construction of a
2,255 square foot retail building at 220 East 78th Street.
Background:
Spence Diamonds is requesting an off - street parking permit to allow them to construct a
2,255 square foot building for retail sales at 220 East 78th Street. The existing house
located on the property would be demolished.
Nine parking spaces would be provided on the property. Access to the parcel would be
off of 2nd Avenue because future access to 78th Street would be restricted at such time
that 1 -494 is expanded.
Landscaping would be provided in accordance with City landscape standards. The
applicant may also be able to preserve some of the existing trees on the site.
The existing parcel of land is 7,888 square feet. The applicant plans to purchase land
from the Church of the Assumption to make the property useable as a commercial site.
The Church of the Assumption currently owns a 14 foot strip of property to the west of
the subject property. The Church has agreed to sell this strip of property to Spence
Diamonds along with a 13 -foot strip of land to the north of the subject property.
A pedestrian bridge is located on the right -of -way to the west of the property. The
height and location of the bridge will partially obscure the site, so the applicant has
requested approval for a sign taller than the maximum 27 feet allowed by the sign
ordinance. The City Council can grant approval of a sign of unusual height in certain
cases. Staff will bring the request fora taller sign to the City Council after receiving and
reviewing plans for all of the signage for the site.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the request for an off - street parking permit with the following stipulation:
1. That the Community Development Director approve the landscape plan and that a
cash escrow be submitted for the cost of the landscaping.
2. That a sediment and erosion control plan be approved by the Public Works
Director.
3. That a stormwater management plan be approved by the Public Works Director.
• 4. That a subdivision waiver be approved for the purchase of additional land to the
west and north of the property and the resolution recorded.
S O -i
5. That the final location of the trash enclosure be approved the Community
Development Director.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposed demolition of the house and construction of a new building provides
a more viable use of the site than the existing house. The existing house is
nonconforming as a residential use and commercial use of the house would
require handicapped accessibility modifications.
2. The proposed parking meets City parking standards for the proposed building size
and use of the property.
3. The proposed property access takes into account future expansion plans for 1-
494.
4. The proposed retail use is permitted in the C -2 (general commercial) zoning
district.
5. The parcel is designated "freeway strip" in the current Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed use is consistent with the "freeway strip" classification.
6. Landscaping would be provided in accordance with City landscape standards.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the request with a finding that the proposal would have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Consideration of this item is scheduled on the Consent Calendar of the City Council
meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 157
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution approving a subdivision waiver at 220 East 78th Street to
allow a purchase of property from 305 East 77th Street.
Background:
Spence Diamonds is requesting a subdivision waiver to allow purchase of property from
Church of the Assumption, 305 East 77th Street. Spence Diamonds is purchasing the
property at 220 East 78th Street to construct a new retail store. The property is
currently 7,888 square feet in size. The parcel is zoned C -2 (general commercial), but
the small size of the parcel makes commercial use of the property difficult.
Spence Diamonds would purchase a 14 -foot strip of land located between the subject
parcel and the right -of -way that is currently owned by the Church. Future expansion
plans for 1 -494 will remove 78th Street in front of the subject property. Ownership of
this piece of land would provide direct access to Second Avenue from 220 East 78th
Street.
• Spence Diamonds is also proposing to purchase a 13 -foot strip of land located to the
north of the subject property. This would create a larger parcel and make development
of the site as a commercial use more viable. The north property line would be located
five feet from the existing church driveway. The size of the parcel at 220 East 78th
Street would be 10,578 square feet. The impact of the sale on the church property
would be negligible.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt a resolution approving a subdivision waiver for 220 East 78th Street to allow
purchase of property from 305 East 77th Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Approval of the subdivision waiver would not interfere with the purposes of platting
regulations, Section 500.05
2. Compliance with the regular platting requirements of Section 500.05, Subd. 1 of
the City Code would result in an unnecessary hardship.
3. Purchase of the subject property would create a 10,578 square foot parcel at 220
East 78th Street, which meets the 9,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement
of the C -2 district (Section 526.29, subd. 2).
• 4. Future expansion plans for 1 -494 would eliminate access to 78th Street from the
parcel, requiring direct access to Second Avenue. Purchase of the 14 -foot strip of
2N-1
• land to the west of 220 East 78th Street would allow for the necessary access to
Second Avenue.
5. Purchase of the subject property would not negatively impact the remaining
church property at 305 East 77th Street; the church parcel would still meet the
minimum lot size requirement of 9,000 square foot.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may deny this subdivision waiver if a finding of fact determines that the
proposal would have an adverse impact on adjacent properties.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Consideration of this item is scheduled on the Consent Calendar of the City Council
meeting.

2. Twenty -three parking spaces would be provided on the west property, exceeding
the City's parking requirement of 20 stalls.

4. The proposed landscape plan does not meet City landscape standards; a revised
plan with additional trees and plantings should be submitted.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the request with a finding that the proposal would have an adverse impact on
adjacent properties or the City as a whole.

Consideration of this item is scheduled on the Consent Calendar of the City Council
meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 154
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Appointments to Aesthetic Design Review Committee for the proposed 1 -35W High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Project from 1 -494 to 42nd Street.
Background:
Council may recall that when considering the layout to add a third lane for high
occupancy vehicles on 1 -35W from 1 -494 to 42nd Street in Minneapolis at the March 24,
1997 Council meeting, there was a request by the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) that Council would be asked to appoint City representatives to
serve on an Aesthetic Design Review Committee to oversee aesthetic design elements
of the 1 -35W project. The Committee will consider aesthetic opportunities and
challenges and resolve any issues necessary to incorporate appropriate aesthetic
details into the project's final design.
The Committee, which is expected to meet over the next 12 -18 months, will consist of
four MnDOT representatives, four Minneapolis representatives and four Richfield
41 representatives. The MnDOT representatives will be from the areas of road design,
bridge design, and site development. Representatives for the cities of Richfield and
Minneapolis will be one staff person and three local citizens. Council may want to
consider having both neighborhood citizen participation as well as citizen participation
from a broader perspective when making appointments.
Staff recommends that the City staff representative be John Melin from the Community
Development Department. Citizen representatives suggested by staff are:
• David Gepner, 750318th Avenue, Planning Commission
• Roger Gordon, 6345 17th Avenue, Planning Commission
• Joseph Capetz, 6227 Wentworth Avenue. Mr. Capetz recently expressed concern
to the City Council about the impact of the proposed 1 -35W Project on residents
living near the 62 Crosstown Commons Section.
Arlene Dixson of Highland Management Group has agreed to serve as an alternate in
the event one of the other candidates can not attend the monthly Committee meetings.
While she is not a resident of Richfield, she has been involved in a number of
successful aesthetic design projects with the City of Richfield involving multi - family
apartment buildings.
Recommended Motion:
SAppoint the three citizen representatives, one alternate and one staff representative
from the City of Richfield as proposed to serve on the Aesthetic Design Review
Committee for the proposed 1 -35W High Occupancy Vehicle Lane Project from 1 -494 to
42nd Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has proposed creation of an 1 -35W
Aesthetic Design Review Committee including one staff and three citizen
representatives each from Minneapolis and from Richfield to assist in the aesthetic
design of 1 -35W from 1 -494 to 42nd Street.
2. The City of Richfield acknowledges that the magnitude of this project will provide
many aesthetic opportunities and challenges. The project's aesthetic issues need
to be resolved cooperatively between MnDOT, Minneapolis, Richfield, the public,
and other interested agencies such that appropriate aesthetic details can be
incorporated into the project's final design.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not participate on the Aesthetic Design Review Committee. However, the City
of Richfield has long believed in participation by affected parties for the resolution
of concerns to mutual benefit.
2. Appoint different members to the Committee. However, staff is not aware of other
candidates willing to serve on the Committee.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Appointments need to be made at the June 23, 1997 Council meeting so appointees
can be given adequate notice of the first meeting of the Aesthetic Design Review
Committee set for July 14, 1997.

City of Richfield Representative
I -35W Aesthetic Design Review Committee
Re: First scheduled Committee Meeting
Thank -you for choosing to serve as a representative for the I -35W Aesthetic design review
committee. The reconstruction of the I -35W /Highway 62 common section and other highway
improvements to I -35W between I -494 and 42nd Street will provide many aesthetic challenges
and opportunities that the committee will need to cooperatively work through.
There will be twelve committee members, comprising of citizen representatives from
Minneapolis and Richfield, city staff persons from both cities, and Mn /DOT staff. It is
expected that the committee will need to meet monthly for at least a year. The first committee
meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 14th, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Richfield Water Plant,
6221 Portland Avenue. The first meeting will be an introductory meeting to provide committee
members with general project information, discuss the role of the committee, and begin to get
to know each other.
At this meeting we will also be setting up a meeting schedule for the committee for the next 12
to 18 months. As a starting point I suggest that the committee meet on the second Monday of
each month starting in August (i.e. 8/11, 9/8, 10/13,11/10, etc.).
I look forward to working with you and the other committee members. If you have any
questions I can be reached at 582 -1320.

Council Letter No. 153
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Award the contract to resurface 76th Street between Sheridan Avenue and Xerxes
Avenue, and install a new traffic signal at 76th Street and Upton Avenue.
Background:
The City solicited bids to resurface 76th Street between Sheridan Avenue and Xerxes
Avenue, and install a new traffic signal at 76th Street and Upton Avenue. The bids
were opened on June 11, 1997. The following bids were received:
• Ashbach Construction Co. $327,361.80
• Midwest Asphalt Corp. $369,759.50
The above bid tabulation summary indicates Ashbach Construction Co. of St. Paul, MN
submitted the lowest responsible bid. The City's engineering consultant, WSB &
Associates, Inc., has reviewed the bids and confirmed the lowest responsible bid in
• keeping with State specifications is $327,361.80. The bid is below the engineer's cost
estimate of $337,540 for the contract. There appears to be no cause to reject the bid.
The contract start date for the work is July 7, 1997. The resurfacing work will take six
weeks and the signal work will be done by mid - October.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes /tabulation and award the 76th Street resurfacing and signal
work contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Ashbach Construction Co. of St. Paul,
MN for $327,361.80.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The bid submitted by Ashbach Construction Company was reviewed and
considered complete.
2. The lowest bid is below the Engineer's cost estimate to perform the work.
3. The Ashbach Construction Company has recently performed similar resurfacing
projects in Richfield in a satisfactory manner
Alternative Recommendation:
Reject all bids and rebid the project. However, rebidding would delay the project and
the lowest bid was within the Engineer's cost estimate for the work.
U-1
Discussion /Decision Mode:
The Council is encouraged to make a decision on June 23, 1997 to allow the contractor
to begin the construction work in early July, 1997.

Council Letter No. 152
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Authorization to sign the Interim Funding Agreement and join the Warden Oil Site
Group.
Background:
The City of Richfield was notified this spring by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) that the MPCA considers the City of Richfield a Potentially Responsible Party
(PRP) for the contamination of the Warden Oil Site, located at 187 Humboldt Avenue
North in Minneapolis. The City's Public Works Department used Warden Oil for the
appropriate disposal of used motor oil prior to 1992, possibly during the years 1985
through 1991. A list of PRP's for the Warden Oil Site, which was compiled by the
MPCA, is attached to this Council Letter. The listing indicates that the City of Richfield
is the 40th largest contributor to the site with slightly less than 0.3% of the total waste
in. This is based on information available to date.
Based on this information, it would appear that the City may have some exposure to a
claim and be jointly and individually liable for the costs of investigating and remedying
the contaminating conditions present at the Warden Oil Site. Past situations of this
nature seem to indicate that the most cost - effective method of responding to this
problem is to participate in a parties group with other PRP's. The parties group can
than retain a single consultant to advise the group and assist it in negotiating with the
MPCA concerning an appropriate remedy. If an agreement is obtained, the parties
group can supervise the implementation of the remedy. The group will need to finance
the remedy, however it may then seek contribution from insurers and other PRP's.
Typically, those initially identified by the MPCA are only part of the universe of PRP's
who contributed waste to the site.
An exploratory meeting about the formation of a parties group ( "Warden Oil Site
Group ") for the Warden Oil Site was conducted on April 18, 1997. Robert Lindahl, of
the City Attorney's office, attended the meeting on behalf of the City of Richfield. The
City has been asked by the law firm of Leonard, Street and Deinard about joining the
Warden Oil Site Group. The cost of participating is $500, payable to the group upon
joining. Inasmuch as the group is the most cost - effective method for parties to jointly
investigate and plan remediation of a site, whenever the parties are ultimately likely to
be determined to have liability, it is advantageous for PRP's to participate.
The alternative to joining the group is to let the MPCA or group plan remediation of a
site and then sue the City and others for all or a portion of the clean -up costs. Under
that scenario, the City would potentially be required to bear all of its own legal and
environmental costs in defense, plus a likely higher mediation cost due to the MPCA
over - designing the remedy or seeking to recover significantly more cost incurred by
MPCA in designing and enforcing the remedy. However, even if the City joins the
group, it will be necessary for the City to incur some legal and administrative expenses
in attending group meetings and otherwise monitoring its activities.
2--_ I
The City is currently exploring whether any insurance coverage exists for this exposure.
However, it is quite possible that there is no coverage.
If the City Council authorizes the City to join the Group, the primary City representative
would be Public Works Director Mike Eastling. Robert Lindahl of the City Attorney's
office would serve as the legal representative for the City as needed.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the City Manager to sign the Interim Funding Agreement and to pay $500 to
the Leonard, Street and Deinard Trust Account as the City's initial interim payment to
join the Warden Oil Site Group and authorize the City Attorney or other representative
of the City to represent the City in the affairs of the Group.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City has been named by MPCA as a potential PRP in the contamination of
the Warden Oil Site.
2. The most effective way to deal with such a situation is to join other PRP's in
forming a group to evaluate and monitor the issue.
3. Robert Lindahl, of the City Attorney's office, has already attended a preliminary
40 meeting of the formation of such a group and recommends that the City
participate.
4. It is staffs belief that this is a more cost - effective way to respond to the situation
than attempting to have the City of Richfield pursue this matter on its own.
5. Along with Mr. Lindahl, from the City Attorney's office, Public Works Director Mike
Eastling would represent the City in meetings of this group.
Alternative Recommendation:
City Council could decide to disapprove this action and have the City investigate and
defend itself in this charge on its own.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
It is recommended that the City Council take action on this item on June 23 so that the
City may enter into the Interim Funding Agreement and join the Warden Oil Site Group
as soon as possible. Joining this group in a timely manner is important for the City to
be on board in terms of the future actions of the group.

Council Letter No. 151 21-�
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Award of bid to Crystaplex for the installation of dasher system and the manufacture and
supply of dasher materials, spectator shielding and mounting supports at the Richfield Ice
Arena.
Background:
The Richfield Ice Arena opened in 1971. The dasherboard system is deteriorating, the
spectator shielding is scratched and unclear, and the mounting supports are unstable in
many areas.
The framing for the dasherboards is wood. The backing to the polyethylene facing is
plywood. the plywood is deteriorating, thus causing the dasher facing to become less
secured and lay flat.
The framing in the players /penalty box area is loosening from the floor mounts, the
players /penalty box doors are no longer flush with the rink facing and do not close properly.
The spectator shielding is plexiglass, some are original pieces, and many are so scratched,
discolored and faded that it doesn't provide a clear view of the rink. The mounting supports
• for the shielding are less stable.
The renovation would remove all the wood backing, caprail and backer panels. Most of the
wood framing is in good condition. The framing that is deteriorating would be replaced.
Then, rather than use plywood backing and 1/4" polyethylene facing, a 1/2" white
polyethylene facing would be installed directly to the framing. The wood caprail would be
replaced with 1" solid polyethylene, and the backer panels to hide the wood framing on the
spectator side would be polyethylene rather than plywood.
The players /penalty box area would be an entirely new system with steel framing.
The spectator shielding would be tempered glass. The glass is more durable than plexiglass,
requires less maintenance to clean, doesn't scratch and will remain clear indefinitely.
The existing mounting supports are not adequate to support tempered glass and would need
to be replaced. Also, the shielding on the sides of the rink would be 1 foot higher than
existing shielding so that patrons heads would be below the glass and protected from being
hit by a puck while walking around the rink.
The completed renovation will reduce maintenance, improve safety and spectators view of
the events.
• Three bids were submitted. They are as follows:
Crystaplex Base: $53,500.00
Ontario, Canada Add: 650.00
Total: $54,150.00
—� Rink Systems Base: $57,275.00
Albert Lea, MN Add: 1,825.00
Total: $59,100.00
Becker Arena Products Base: $64,215.00
Prior Lake, MN Add: 850.00
Total $65,065.00
Recommended Motion:
Approve the bid from Crystaplex to install the dasher system in the players /penalty box;
manufacture and supply the dasher materials, spectator shielding and mounting supports;
and modify the Zamboni gates for $54,150.00
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The existing dasher system is deteriorating, doors do not close properly and spectator
shielding is unattractive.
2. The new system will reduce maintenance and will make the facility more attractive.
3. There will be less risk of injury to players and spectators.
4. Crystaplex was the lowest quote submitted.
5. Crystaplex has been installing and providing materials to ice arenas for many years
6. The renovation project was originally scheduled for 1994, but delayed because of arena
roof installation and lockerroom expansion. Funds are in the CIB for the dasherboard
project.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could award the bid to another company.
2. The City Council could elect to delay the project. However, the project must be done in
August- September.
3. The City Council could elect not to replace the dasher system.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the consent calendar for the City Council meeting of June 23,
1997. Action is requested at this time to assure that materials can be supplied and installed
by re- opening of arena on September 15, 1997.

Council Letter No. 150
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Proposed 1998 alley maintenance special assessment project, proposed to be City
Project No. 943.
Background:
The alley policy adopted by the City Council in 1980 provides that "all costs involved in
maintaining'an alley will be assessed against the property abutting the alley." In 1981,
the maintenance functions to unpaved alleys covered sweeping, cleaning of potholes
and cold patching. In 1982 and years since, the maintenance functions covered by this
assessment included not only repair work to unpaved alleys, but also an assessment to
all alleys, paved or unpaved, for snowplowing services. A concrete joint sealing
maintenance program for paved alleys was initiated in the 1989 alley maintenance
program.
In 1994, staff obtained estimates for the joint sealing in paved alleys. Due to the small
quantity of work, the prices quoted were exorbitant. In previous years, this work had
been included with the larger concrete street repair program, and prices were
• reasonable; but that program was reduced by budget cuts to the point where there is no
longer the volume of work to produce good prices.
In order to obtain reasonable prices for this work, staff needed to double the quantities.
No work for joint sealing was performed in 1994. A large project was awarded in 1995,
no work was performed in 1996, and a large project is again scheduled for 1997. To
bank monies for this type of biannual bidding, staff needed to assess a constant
$20,000 each year for alley maintenance. Council approved this program at their July
10, 1995 meeting.
A history of exact costs for alley maintenance services from 1995 -1996, and estimated
costs for 1997 -1998 are below:
1995 $30,420.36
1996 $12,568.00
1997 $30,000
1998 $10,000
The $20,000 amount assessed for alley maintenance is approximately $10.75 for a 50-
foot lot. $7.75 /per lot is the estimate for sweeping and a normal winter of snowplowing.
The additional $3 per lot, which is contracted on a biannual basis, is an estimate of
costs to continue a concrete joint sealing maintenance program on paved alleys as a
part of routine maintenance.
U 6-�' -I
Estimates of additional costs on unpaved alleys each year have been about $23 per lot.
Costs have varied depending on the amount of patching required.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which proposed to specially assess $20,000 for 1998
services for alley maintenance and sets the public hearing on this proposed special
assessment project for August 25, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Previously adopted policy mandates the assessments.
2. The project is feasible.
.Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to continue assessing only actual costs each year. However, the
biannual crack repair policy would cause the assessment to fluctuate considerably, and
residents complain when even minor changes occur in the assessment amounts, due to
more or less snow plowing costs.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay adoption of this resolution until the next meeting;
however, any further delay would cause scheduling problems with legal notices
required by Minnesota State Statute.

Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Resolution relating to 1998 maintenance assessments, LHN (Lyndale /HUB /Nicollet)
redevelopment area, proposed to be City Project No. 942.
Background:
On January 26, 1981, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6372, which established
a service in the LHN area (approximately bounded by 64th Street, First Avenue, 67th
Street and Emerson Avenue) which would be specially assessed. The special
assessment to commercial property would be made on the basis of area, with each
square foot of assessable commercial property within the district being assessed an
equal amount. All single family, two family and multiple family residential property
within this area were eliminated from the special assessment levy.
In 1982, agreements were reached with owners in the LHN area related to maintenance
of property. For the most part, each owner was to be responsible for property to the
curb while the City is responsible for common areas such as street islands. Although
the City does perform some maintenance work for individual property owners, these
• costs are directly assessed to the appropriate owner and maintenance of common
areas continues to be assessed to the entire district. Current maintenance services for
the district would include, but not necessarily be limited to, one or more of the following:
1. Landscaping, including tree trimming;
2. Sidewalk sweeping in summer;
3. Snow removal in winter;
4. Sidewalk deicing;
5. Painting and repair of wood furniture;
6. Trash removal;
7. General maintenance, including repairs and replacement;
8. Irrigation maintenance.
These items are extra services provided directly to the LHN Redevelopment Area and
do not include services provided to the entire City. For example, all City streets are
swept twice a year, and for this service there would be no charge to the LHN
maintenance assessment. However, any additional street sweeping in the LHN area
would be an assessable item.
Estimated and actual costs for LHN maintenance services 1995 -1998 are:
Year
Estimated Actual
1995
$45,516 $36,105.50
1996
$46,080 $48,118.39
1997
$47,730
1998
$49,165
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution proposing to specially assess for the costs of current
services provided within the LHN project area for the period of January 1, 1998 through
December 31, 1998, and to set the public hearing date for August 25, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 6372, adopted in 1981, established policy for assessing the costs.
2. This policy allows staff to continue to provide excellent service to the LHN
Redevelopment Area.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the maintenance performed to that
dollar amount; however staff believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this commercial area is recommended by staff in
order to sustain the current standards for landscaping and maintenance which have
been successful over the past years.

Council Letter No. 148
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Resolution relating to 1998 maintenance assessments for the 77th Street
redevelopment area, proposed to be City Project No. 941.
Background:
Resolution No. 7405, adopted in 1988, established a policy for assessing the costs to
the special assessment district for a portion of the I nterstate/Lyndale/N icol let (ILN)
project area, an approximate two block area near the Hampton Inn. The district
included properties east of Lyndale and south of 77th Street, and the properties were
assessed for current services required to maintain special landscape features and other
public amenities on or adjacent to the right -of -way.
On June 12, 1994, the City Council took action to support the continuance of specially
assessing a redefined ILN /expanded 77th Street Project Area (from 1 -35W to Portland
Avenue) for the period of January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
On November 25, 1996, the City Council took action to support the continuance of
• specially assessing another redefined expanded (from 1 -35W to Cedar Avenue) 77th
Street Project Area for the period of January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996.
For the most part, each owner is to be responsible for property to the curb while the City
is responsible for common areas such as street islands, the north boulevard and sound
wall. Although the City does do some maintenance work for individual property owners,
these costs are directly assessed to the appropriate owner and maintenance of
common areas continues to be assessed to the entire district. Current maintenance
services for the district would include, but not necessarily be limited to, one or more of
the following:
1. Landscape maintenance of common properties including, among other
things, tree trimming, mowing, fertilizing and edging.
2. Irrigation maintenance.
3. General maintenance including repair and replacement of lights, signs,
curbs and plantings.
These items are extra services provided directly to the 77th Street Project Area, and do
not include services provided to the entire City. Most of the routine maintenance
(mowing, weeding, litter cleanup) has been and will continue to be contracted, leaving
city crews to perform repairs on irrigation, lights and signs. Estimated costs for the
ILN /77th Street maintenance services from 1995 -1998 were /are:
After construction is completed and warrantees are expired, future estimated annual
costs are $80,000.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution proposing to specially assess for the costs of current
services provided within the 77th Street Project Area for the period of January 1, 1998
through December 31, 1998, and to set the public hearing date for Monday, August 25,
1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 7405, adopted in 1988, established a policy for assessing the costs.
2. This policy allows staff to continue to provide service to the 77th Street Project Area.
3. Commercial property owners will be assessed on a per- square -foot basis. However,
all single family and multi - family residential properties, plus the two churches in the
area, would be exempt from the special assessment levy.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the maintenance performed to that
dollar amount; however, staff believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this area is recommended by staff in order to

After construction is completed and warrantees are expired, future estimated annual
costs are $80,000.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution proposing to specially assess for the costs of current
services provided within the 77th Street Project Area for the period of January 1, 1998
through December 31, 1998, and to set the public hearing date for Monday, August 25,
1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 7405, adopted in 1988, established a policy for assessing the costs.
2. This policy allows staff to continue to provide service to the 77th Street Project Area.
3. Commercial property owners will be assessed on a per- square -foot basis. However,
all single family and multi - family residential properties, plus the two churches in the
area, would be exempt from the special assessment levy.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the maintenance performed to that
dollar amount; however, staff believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this area is recommended by staff in order to
sustain current standards for landscaping and maintenance. Staff is asking for action at
this time in order to facilitate meeting state deadlines for publication of legal notices and
notification of property owners.

Issue Statement:
Resolution declaring costs to be assessed for alley maintenance and snowplowing for
the period January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, and setting a public hearing date for

Background:
City staff has determined costs to be assessed for alley maintenance, City Project No.

preparation of the proposed assessment rolls, and setting the hearing date for the
proposed assessment. Property owners on permanently paved concrete alleys are
assessed for snowplowing, joint repair, and patching work done on the alley right of
way.
In 1994, the City Council approved a proposal to assess a constant $20,000 each year
for alley maintenance services in order to bank monies for biannual joint sealing. This
was performed to provide better contract prices for concrete joint cleaning, and to
reduce resident complaints of fluctuating maintenance assessments for alleys.
Actual costs for the alley maintenance services from 1995 -1996, and estimated costs
for 1997 -1998 are:
Year Actual Estimated
1995 $30,420.36
1996 $12,568.00
1997 $30,000.00
1998 $10,000.00
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering the
preparation of the proposed assessment roll; and adopt the attached resolution setting
the date of hearing on the proposed assessment for August 25, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Council ordered this work to be performed.
2. Council approved setting a set $20,000 for alley maintenance at its July 10, 1995
regular meeting.
3. Adoption of the resolutions at this time will allow adequate time for staff to complete
necessary legal requirements in order to meet certification deadlines.
gp -I
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may revise the special assessment roll after the public hearing as deemed
necessary.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
Council may choose to delay action on the attached resolutions; however, Minnesota
State Statute requires specific notices and public meetings, and scheduling problems
may occur beyond a two week delay.

Council Letter No. 146
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Preparation of assessment rolls and setting hearing date for City Project No. 912, 1996
LHN (Lyndale /HUB /Nicollet redevelopment area) maintenance.
Background:
City staff has determined costs to be assessed for the maintenance of the
Lyndale /HUB /Nicollet (LHN) redevelopment area, City Project No. 912, the 1996 LHN
Maintenance Project. Attached are resolutions declaring the costs to be assessed and
ordering the preparation of the proposed assessment rolls, and setting the hearing date
for the proposed assessment.
Estimated and actual costs for the LHN maintenance services 1995 -1998 were /are:
Year
Estimated Actual
1995
$45,516 $36,105.50
1996
1997
$46,080 $48,118.39
$47,730
1998
$49,165
Fluctuations in expenditures for maintenance of LHN are caused by a number of
factors. Weather determines water usage and irrigation costs; street light knockdowns
are never foreseeable and very expensive; and the need to paint street lights and repair
concrete varies from year to year. In 1996, expenses were up due to the dry summer
and extensive work on the irrigation system. The 1997 and 1998 estimated costs also
show an increase due to higher costs for contracted mowing and irrigation repairs
mandated by new codes.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of the
proposed assessment roll for LHN Maintenance, and adopt the resolution setting the
date of hearing on the proposed assessment for August 25, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
Council ordered the work, and the work is finished.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may make any changes to the assessment roll as deemed necessary after the
public hearing.
Discussion /Decision Mode:
In order to meet notification and publication deadlines, staff is requesting approval at
this time.

Issue Statement:
Approval of resolution declaring costs to be assessed for removal of diseased trees
from private property for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, and

Background:
The costs to be assessed for the removal of Dutch Elm diseased trees on private
property for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 have been
determined to be $25,020.70. The property owner of a diseased tree has four options
available:
1. Remove the tree themselves.
2. Hire and pay their own contractor.
3. Hire the City's contractor and pay for the removal within 30 days, or
4. Use the City's contractor and request that the cost of the tree removal be assessed
against their property tax.
In the period from January 1, 1996 through December 21, 1996, 25 property owners
chose the fourth option. One property owner originally agreed to the third option for two
houses, but has not yet paid for the removal costs. This property owner will be sent a
registered letter regarding the impending assessment to the properties. The
Metropolitan Airports Commission is responsible for the unpaid costs.
The property owner may prepay the special assessment, but if it is certified on or before
October 10, 1997, for the 1998 taxes, the interest rate is eight percent with payment
spread over three years.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution declaring costs to be assessed and ordering the
preparation of the proposed assessment roll, and adopt the resolution setting the date
of hearing on the proposed assessment for August 25, 1997.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Except for the two property owners noted, the work has been done with prior
approval from the affected residents.
2. Minnesota State Statute requires the County to be notified of all special
assessments.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may revise the special assessment roll as deemed necessary following the
public hearing.

Richfield is a fully developed first ring suburb of the center city of Minneapolis. I
The challenges of location and aging population and housing stock also include these
community perceptions
• Richfield is only a starter community
No one is building new homes in Richfield
• Don't improve your house to value higher than your neighbors.
• No one would buy a new more expensive house in Richfield.
The Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority created "Richfield
Rediscovered" as the catalyst to change perceptions. The program success clearly
demonstrates the active role that housing authorities can play in changing housing
markets.
Since 1991, the accomplishments include:
■ 92 new homes with average property values at completion in excess of
$140,000
20 homes remodeled to an average value in excess of $150,000
• An average sale . price of a single family- home in Richfield in 1991 was
$82,000. By the end of 1996, the average sale price is $100,400.
• 813 homes have been modestly remodeled with investments in excess of
10,000 each.

Council Letter No. 140
Agenda June 23, 1997
Issue Statement:
Presentation of the "Gene and Mary Jacobsen Outstanding Citizen" award to the
Richfield High School National Honor Society.
Background:
The Richfield Human Rights Commission has selected a Citizen of the Year award
recipient since 1971. The award has been presented to a person or organization
whose actions demonstrated an awareness and commitment to the attitudes and
practices that foster human understanding, tolerance and the spirit of human relations.
After careful deliberations, the Human Rights Commission has decided to present the
Gene and Mary Jacobsen Outstanding Citizen award for the year 1996 to the Richfield
High School National Honor Society (NHS).
For many years, Richfield High School's National Honor Society has demonstrated
service, leadership and goodwill to the City of Richfield and surrounding communities.
In October 1996 they hosted a food drive with other schools in the Classic Lake
Conference. This resulted in 25,000 pounds of food collected and donated to the
Emergency Foodshelf Network.
NHS members participate in volunteering at Wood Lake Nature Center, Value Village
Thrift Store and Augsburg Park Library. They spend two hours, once a month, helping
with maintenance and assisting with various jobs. Their volunteer work helps these
non - profit organizations to continue to serve the community and keep their facilities in
fine condition.
All NHS members participate in and conduct a leadership project that benefits the
community in some way. Picking up trash at local parks, delivering home -made cards
to patients at the VA hospital, and hosting a carnival for young children are just a few of
this year's projects. In addition, NHS members complete at least 50 hours of
community service during the year in service such as mission trips, volunteering at a
soup kitchen or building a ramp for a disabled individual.
Richfield's chapter of the National Honor Society participates in State -wide and national
conventions that focus on ways in which the youth can grow stronger as an
organization and continue to demonstrate the characteristics of NHS: scholarship,
leadership, service and character.

has brought her. As part of her reign Jodi has taken part in many parades and festivals all

scholarship after they have completed their reign. Jodi also received a scholarship to
Premier School of Modeling and Self Improvement where she has worked to help prepare
herself for the Minneapolis Aquatennial competition in mid July.

people of Richfield and those directly involved with the Richfield Fourth of July Hometown
Celebration and Miss Richfield Ambassador Program for their support and the opportunity
to be an ambassador for such a wonderful community. Without such support my year as a
Miss Richfield. Ambassador would not have been possible."
Next fall Jodi will be a sophomore at Concordia College in Moorhead where she will be
studying secondary education. She hopes to become a social studies teacher and coach
a dance team. Her parents are Tim and Cici Flanery.
