L.'IELD, MINNESOTA (7-ouncil Letter No. 120 .^.cenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Council receipt of the unaudited 1995 financial report. Background: The annual financial report for the period ended December 31, 1995, has been completed by the Administrative Services Department. The audited financial report is not available at this time, due to the audit provision which requires Richfield's financial reports to be audited by Deloitte and Touche subsequent to April 15. As Council Members may be aware, the City receives a reduced audit fee in turn for approval for the auditors to delay their audit work until after April 15. The audit is scheduled to begin April 22, 1996. The Richfield City Charter requires the financial report to be submitted to the City Council for fiscal year-end information by April 10 of each year. The report is submitted for official receipt at the April 8, 1996 City Council meeting. The attached summary report reflects the performance of the General Fund, Municipal Liquor Fund, Utility Funds, Recreation Fund and Street Light Fund. Recommended Motion: Receive the unaudited 1995 financial report of the City. Basis of Recommendation: 1. City Charter provides that the financial report of the City be submitted to the City Council by April 10 of each year. 2. Audited financial reports for 1995 will not be available for several weeks. 3. The Administrative Services Department has just completed their financial reporting for 1995. Alternative Recommendation: The City Council could request the staff to make a more detailed presentation of the unaudited 1995 financial report at this time or at a future Council Study Session. However, a detailed presentation of the audited report will be presented in the month of June 1996. Discussion/Decision Mode: The financial report is considered for formal acceptance at the April 8, 1996 City Council meeting. Respectf ly submitted, James .Prosser City Manager JDP:cak as-I • FINANCIAL REPORT SUMMARY FOR YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,1995 The following is a summary of fund highlights for the General Fund, Municipal Liquor Fund, Water & Sanitary Sewer Fund, Storm Sewer Utility Fund, and the Recreation Fund. A more detailed, audited report will be presented to the City Council after the audit has been completed in June 1996. General Fund Revenues Expenditures Net Transfers Increase to Fund Balance Fund Balance, 12/31/95 1995 Actual $ 12,528,714 12,490,327 244,171 282,558 $ 3,053,201 1995 Budget $ 12,333,370 12,580,480 247,110 $ 2,770,643 1994 Actual $ 12,155,401 11,693,258 (306,547) 155,596 $ 2,770,643 As of December 31, 1995, the City General Fund has a fund balance of $3,053,201, an increase of $282,558 from December 31, 1994. The year-end fund balance is designated for working capital and is necessary to meet expenditures until property taxes are collected in July 1996. In 1995, General Fund revenue exceeded budget by approximately $195,000. This was primarily due to continued revenue generated from permits issued for the CSM Corporation for the development in the Interstate/Lyndale/Nicollet tax increment district. In addition, expenditures in the General Fund were under budget by approximately $87,000. This can be attributed to departments generally keeping spending within budget levels. In 1995, the General Fund transferred $108, 000 to pay for the City's Street Lighting Reconstruction Project. 1995 was the first year of a scheduled four year project. Municipal Liquor Stores Revenues Expense Net Transfers Net Income (Loss) Retained Earnings, 12/31/95 1995 Actual $ 6,910,600 6,248,956 (673,610) (11,966) $ 2,216,897 1995 Budget $ 7,232,490 6,583,020 (673,610) (24,140) $ 2,204,723 1994 Actual $ 6,913,466 6,263,612 (549,970) 99,884 $ 2,228,863 In 1995, the three municipal liquor stores reached $6,812,160 in gross sales, a decrease of $26,000 in comparison to 1994. Operating expenses in 1995 increased slightly over 1994, with increases of $20,000 in personal services and $14,000 in other services and charges. Transfers in 1995 include $20,000 to the Special Revenue Fund for park capital improvements, $500,000 the Capital Improvement Reserve Fund and $153,160 to the General Fund for administrative costs, public safety services, and payments in lieu of taxes. aa? a E E • Water & Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund 1995 Actual 1995 Budget 1994 Actual Revenues Expense Net Transfers Net Income Retained Earnings, 12/31/95 $ 3,980,284 3,929,506 12,000 62,778 $ 7,657,309 $ 4,029,710 3,802,000 227,710 $ 7,822,241 $ 3,630,614 3,709,341 83,852 5,125 $ 7,594,531 In 1995, the Water Utility portion of operating revenues increased approximately $47,000 over 1994 revenues. For 1995, water rates remained the same as in 1994. Operating expenses showed an increase of approximately $115,000, of which purchases of chemicals to treat water quality comprised the largest part of the increase. The Sanitary Sewer Utility portion of operating revenues in 1995, were approximately $307,000 higher than in 1994, primarily due to an increase in sewer rates. The increase in operating revenue was offset by an increase in treatment charges paid to the Metropolitan Council-Wastewater Services of $117,145. Operating expenses actually decreased by approximately $12,000 if the Metropolitan Council-Wastewater Services are not taken into account. The net result was a virtual break-even operation in the Sanitary Sewer portion of the fund. Storm Sewer Utility Fund Revenues 1995 Actual $ 799,231 558,539 101,907 342,599 $ 1,728,604 1995 Budget 1994 Actual Expense Net Transfers Net Income Retained Earnings, 12/31/95 $ 795,000 550,150 340,000 584,850 $ 1,970,855 $ 705,668 632,810 160,000 232,858 $ 1,386,005 Revenues for the Storm Sewer Utility Fund increased $97,000 in 1995 over 1994. The increase can primarily be attributed to an increase in rates. In addition, operating expenses decreased $69,000 in 1995 from 1994. The primary cause of this is reflected in a decrease in professional services from 1994 to 1995. Recreation Fund Revenues Expense Net Transfers Net Income Retained Earnings, 12/31/95 1995 Actual 1995 Budget 1994 Actual $ 1,944,224 1,767,846 (150,875) 25,503 $ 1,141,457 $ 2,016,550 1,765,830 (150,220) 100,500 $ 1,216,454 $ 1,894,252 1,788,331 (100,100) 5,821 $ 1,115,954 The Recreation Fund includes the golf course, ice arena, swimming pool, and special facilities (miniature golf, concessions, farmers market) operations. An increase in operating revenues from 1994 to 1995 was due to the golf course operations, which ended the year with income before transfers of $250,183, an increase of approximately $46,000 over 1994. The ice arena, swimming pool. and special facilities operations all ended the year with with losses of $63,592, $3,740 and $8,261 respectively. Despite the operating losses the swimming pool and special facilities operations each made transfers out of $25,000 to repay prior year loans from the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund. as 3 0 Street Light Fund Revenues Expense Net Transfers Net Income (Loss) Retained Earnings, 12/31/95 1995 Actual 1995 Budget 1994 Actual $ 72,607 $ 73,040 (71,840) 767 $ 767 (71,840) 1,200 $ 1,200 This fund was established in 1995 to account for Street Light fee revenues collected from residents as part of the Street Light reconstruction project. 1995 was the first year of a scheduled four year project. Revenues received in 1995 were slightly less than budgeted, however, enough revenue was realized to transfer out funds to cover the first year reconstruction costs. Summary This financial summary includes the highlights of the overall financial results for the City of Richfield for the year ended December 31, 1995. Financial reports for each fund are attached to this letter. A comprehensive review of the 1995 financial operations will be presented to the City Council after the completion of the annual audit by the City's independent auditors. In 1995, the General Fund had a very strong year due to actual revenues exceeding budget and the efforts of departments to closely monitor expenditures. This resulted in a net increase to fund balance of $282,558. The Water & Sanitary Sewer Utility, Storm Sewer Utility and Gulf Course Funds continued to perform well. The Municipal Liquor Fund realized a small drop in gross sales, however, net income before operating transfers still exceeded 1994's level by approximately $10,000. The Street Light Fund performed as expected with revenues coming close to budget. The ice arena, swimming pool, and special facilities operations will continue to be carefully monitored in 1996 to market the facilities and control costs. is CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA GENERAL FUND COMPARATIVE BALANCE SHEET December 31, 1995 and 1994 ASSETS Cash and investments Receivables: Taxes Special assessments Accounts Due from component unit Due from other governments Total Assets ?J LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE Liabilities: Accounts payable Accrued salaries and employee benefits payable Due to component unit Due to other governments Deferred revenue Total Liabilities Fund Balance - Unreserved: Designated for state aid reductions Designated for working capital Total Fund Balance Total Liabilities and Fund Balance .7 1995 $ 4,279,794 98,552 2,706 109,556 64,909 $ 4,555,517 $ 153,857 1,153,464 136,388 58,607 U j- 1 FORM F 1994 $ 4,166,211 88,759 3,765 60,940 2,188 63,814 $ 4,385,677 $ 97,233 1,078,940 261,287 108,666 68,908 1,502,316 1,615,034 288,980 2,764,221 3,053,201 $ 4,555,517 274,214 2,496,429 2,770,643 $ 4,385,677 -66- CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA GENERAL FUND .

Backar- On February 12, 1996, City Council heard testimony from the owner and from neighbors in the area of this establishment as a result of a request to renew their car wash license. City Council had requested that the owner, David Colehour, participate with neighbors in mediation in an effort to help resolve some of the issues and concerns that neighbors have about the site. Mr. Colehour agreed. The mediation was scheduled to occur on April 4, 1996. The week of March 25, Public Safety staff received calls from both West Suburban Mediation and a neighbor who were calling to say that Tip Top Car Wash had been stripped of all of its car wash equipment and the business was closed. West Suburban Mediation contacted Mr. Colehour as did Public Safety staff and found that the business is closed. Mr. Colehour told Public Safety staff that he wants the license request rescinded. Recommended Motion: Request to rescind the request for renewal of a car wash license for Tip Top Car Wash, 6601 Bloomington Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: The owner has notified Public Safety staff that the business has been closed and he no longer is in need of a business license for the site. Alternative Recommendation: None. Discussion/Decision Mode: Request to rescind the request for renewal of a car wash license for Tip Top Car Wash, 6601 Bloomington Avenue, is presented to Council at this time.

Background: As discussed at the March 4 City Council Study Session, the City is about to begin a study to downsize 76th Street east of 1-35W from four to two traffic lanes. A five member task force is recommended to oversee the planning process. The task force could have a representative of the Planning Commission, the Community Services Commission, a representative of adjacent property owners and two members representing the community at large. The City Council is being asked to appoint all of these people for the duration of the study, estimated to last five months. The following candidates have volunteered to serve on the task force: • David Gepner, member of the Planning Commission and a bicycle enthusiast; • Denise Schaefer, member of the Community Services Commission; • Saybert or Laura Johnson, 2701 West 66th Street, member at-large; • Dick Walker, Richfield Schools, member at large; and • John Barnes, 7544 Bryant Avenue, 76th Street resident. Recommended Motion: Appoint the five people as members of the task force to oversee the study to downsize 76th Street east of 1-35W. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The five candidates are all Richfield residents who have expressed interest in serving on the task force. 2. The five candidates represent both the interests of people living along 76th Street and the community-wide perspective. 3. The five candidates offer their interest and expertise in bicycling, recreation and general public affairs. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Take no action. The Council can choose to do nothing. This will delay the start of the study. 2. Appoint one or more different people to serve on the task force. Discussion/Decision Mode: The Council should appoint five people to the task force so the study may begin. Respectfully submitted, Ja s D.

Background: Chapter II, Section 210 of the City ordinance establishes the salaries of the City Council and provides that the salaries of the Council Members be reviewed by December 1 of each year in which an election is held. The City Council adopted Council Policy Statement No. 1 on July 13, 1987. The policy statement provides that in years a municipal election is to be held, the Council shall establish a revised pay schedule for Council Members and the Mayor. The policy also provides that the amount of increase granted to employees in the year subsequent to the previous salary adjustment should be used as a guideline. The salary increase for employees in the General Services and Management pay plans for 1996 was 3%. The last Council salary increase was approved on May 9, 1994, effective January 1, 1995. At the April 1, 1996 Study Session, the City Council requested that a proposed ordinance amendment to increase Council salaries by 3% be prepared for consideration at the April 8, 1996 City Council meeting. The 3% increase would adjust the Mayor's salary to $7,995 per year and Council Member salaries to $6,206 per year. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of an ordinance amendment to Chapter II, Section 210.01 of the ordinance code to increase the salaries of Council Members from $6,025 to $6,206 per year and the salary of the Mayor from $7,762 to $7,995 per year and to schedule the public hearing and second reading for May 13, 1996. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Chapter II, Section 210 of the City ordinance establishes salaries of the City Council and provides that salaries of Council Members be reviewed by December 1 of each year in which an election is held. 2. The City Charter stipulates that Council Member salaries may be adjusted only by ordinance. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Continue discussion of this item to another Council meeting. 2. Propose alternative salary adjustments other than the proposed amount. 19-1 3. Do not approve first reading of the ordinance and take no further action. Discussion/Decision Mode: This item has been scheduled for first reading at the April 8, 1996 City Council meeting. If the ordinance is approved on second reading at the May 13, 1996 City Council meeting, salary increases would become effective in 1996. Respectfully submitted, Ja D.

Ferber, City Clerk 0 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 116 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to Section 905, Animal Control, regarding the licensing of pets. Background: In an effort to streamline cumbersome ordinance requirements, Public Safety staff has identified several areas of the animal control ordinance to amend. Primarily, these areas are regarding the licensing of pets and the clarification of definitions. Currently, pets are licensed annually with proof that the pet has been vaccinated. Annual pet license fees are $9 for a dog and $8 for a cat. These licenses are due by July 1 of each year and the 2,000 animal licenses are processed in a four to six week period of time. Often this results in lines at City Hall for residents to get their pet's license. The amendments being proposed would change the process to one in which licenses • are issued in conjunction with the length of time their rabies vaccination is valid. Rabies vaccination shots can be valid for a period of one to three years. If an individual had a rabies vaccination good for a two year period of time, they could obtain a license for two years at an $8 per year fee whether the animal is a dog or a cat. This is not only a cost reduction in the license fee but a savings of citizens' time. It is feasible that an animal owner may only have to visit City Hall for this license once every three years. This would also spread out staffs time issuing licenses throughout the year so that pet licensing lines at City Hall should be significantly reduced. The amendments would also be a cost savings to an individual who could provide proof that an animal is spayed or neutered. Unneutered or unspayed animals would need to continue to purchase a one year license at the cost of $12 per year. Hopefully, this would result in an incentive for individuals to consider spaying or neutering their pets. This is also viewed as a more responsible approach to dealing with the ever growing number of unwanted dogs and cats. Multi-year licenses may only be issued for animals which have been spayed or neutered. This would also amend the section on the need to immediately dispose of feces. The old language referred only to the need to immediately clean up dog feces. Staff proposes changing the word "dog" to animal throughout the ordinance to make it clearer that it means both dogs and cats. The only exception to that would be the leashing requirement for dogs that is not intended for cats. /3-1 Recommended Motion: First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to Section 905, Animal Control, regarding the licensing of pets and schedule the public hearing and second reading for April 22, 1996. Basis of Recommendation: 1. There is a slight cost reduction to the residents of Richfield in the license fee as well as a savings of their time, 2. This should be a much more convenient way for residents to obtain their pet's license. 3. This may result in an added incentive for residents to have their pets neutered or spayed. This is a more responsible approach in dealing with the growing number of unwanted dogs and cats. 4. This should spread out the animal licensing function throughout the year which would eliminate the burden on staff to process a large number of licenses in a relatively short period of time. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Do nothing and leave the ordinance as it currently is. Discussion/Decision Mode: First reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to Section 905 Animal Control regarding the licensing of pets is presented for Council's consideration at this time.

Basis of Recommendation: 1. The study should be conducted by the Advisory Board of Health to include analysis of the appropriateness of licensing. 2. If the Advisory Board of Health determines that licensing should be required, then the Advisory Board of Health should recommend appropriate licensing provisions. 3. The Advisory Board of Health should also recommend whether the uses should be restricted in terms of location. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The Council may decide not to authorize a study. 2.

Background. 1.01. The City of Richfield ("City") currently regulates a wide variety of retail and service businesses through official controls or licensing or both. 1.02. The City does not currently have in place any official controls which would be directly applicable to businesses engaged in tattooing, body piercing, body painting, body branding or similar activities. 1.03. To the extent that these activities are subject to official controls, it is by relating them to similar businesses which are the specified subjects of the official controls. 1.04. The City Council is concerned that application of its official controls by inference may not be an adequate way to address land use issues presented by the businesses activities described in 1.02. 1.05. There exist a number of significant planning and land use issues pertaining to the protection of health, safety and general welfare of the City, including the following: a) Should these activities be restricted to certain zoning districts of the city, and if so, which ones? b) Should these activities be separated from other activities such as liquor establishments, schools and churches? c) Should the activities be conditional uses in the districts where they are allowed, and if so, what conditions would be appropriate? 1.06. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355 Subd. 4, allows the City to adopt an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Section 2. Findings. 2.01 The City Council finds that it is necessary to conduct studies to determine if there is a need to amend the City's official controls or its comprehensive plan relating I ? -)L-I to the uses described in Section 1.02 above, and if so, to adopt the appropriate amendments. 2.02. The City Council finds that there is a need to adopt an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens regarding such matters. Section 3. Planning and Zoning Study: Moratorium. 3.01. A study is authorized to be conducted by City staff to determine whether the City's official controls need to be modified as they relate to the uses described in Section 1.02 above. 3.02. Pending completion of the study and adoption of any amendments to the City's official controls, it shall be unlawful for any person to establish, expand, or rebuild any of businesses which is engaged in the uses described in Section. 1.02 above. 3.03. Upon application to the City Council, and the showing of an undue hardship, the City Council may grant such waivers to the provisions of this ordinance, and upon such waivers to the provisions of this ordinance, and upon such conditions as the City Council shall, in its sole judgment deem appropriate. Section 5. Enforcement. The City may enforce any provisions of this ordinance by mandamus, injunction or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction. Section 6. Term. Unless earlier terminated by action of the City Council, this ordinance shall be effective for one year from its effective date, and may be further extended for such additional periods as the City Council may deem appropriate, not exceeding a total additional period of 18 months. Passed by the City Council this day of , 1996. Martin J. Kirsch, Mayor ATTEST: Thomas P. Ferber, City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 113 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Consideration of resolution regarding the findings of fact in support of denial of the kennel license for Vetsmart. Background: The City Council has previously received a request for issuance of a kennel license for Vetsmart to operate a veterinary clinic at 1100 West 78th Street. On March 25 the request to issue a kennel license was brought before the City Council. The City Council did not authorize the kennel license. Recommended Motion: The City Council should consider approval of the resolution stating the findings of fact relating to the kennel license. The findings will be made available at the April 8 Council meeting. Basis of Recommendation: The Council has determined that the proposed operation of the veterinary clinic did not conform with the approved final planned unit development/final development plan and Is conditional use permit for Phase I Shops at Lyndale. Alternative Recommendation: The Council may decide to amend the findings of fact. Discussion/Decision Mode: This matter will be presented for City Council consideration at the meeting of April 8. Respectfully submitted, Jame . Prosser City Manager JDP:ds • lLf CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 112 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Request for an amended planned unit development/final development plan and conditional use permit to allow the addition of a veterinary clinic as an allowable use in Phase I of the Shops at Lyndale. Background: Petsmart is requesting City approval to operate a veterinary clinic in Phase I of the Shops at Lyndale planned unit development. The vet clinic would encompass approximately 1,800 square feet in the southeast portion of the retail store. Customers would access the clinic through the retail store or through a separate entrance which is located just east of the main entrance. The vet clinic would be operated by an independent company that would lease the clinic space from Petsmart. The conditional use permit for Phase I of the Shops at Lyndale, as amended'on December 12, 1994, is for retail uses only. A veterinary clinic is a service business. An amendment is required to incorporate the use into the PUD plan. Regulations for the C-2 district serve as a guide for the PC-2 district (planned general commercial). Veterinary clinics are a permitted use in the C-2 district. A substantive, reasonable land use basis is required to deny the presence of a vet clinic in a PC-2 district. Council Members have expressed concern with the presence of veterinary clinics in shopping centers. Several factors mitigate the potential threat the presence of animals may pose to the public health, safety and welfare: • Animals are currently allowed in the retail portion of the store, regardless of the presence of the vet clinic. The clinic will not bring a significant number of additional animals to the shopping center. • The City has laws governing the handling of animals in public places to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. • Petsmart employees are required to follow procedures related to cleanliness as well as safety. The store has several safety measures in place in the event an animal acts in a dangerous manner. • The presence of a separate entrance into the vet clinic minimizes the potential risk of exposing sick animals to the people and animals in the retail store. • The Planning Commission recommends adding several stipulations related to cleanliness and animal safety to approval of the amended planned unit development. • One veterinary clinic currently operates in a retail center (although the center is smaller than Shops at Lyndale). There have been no reported problems with this clinic. W-1 M Recommended Motion: Approve the amended planned unit development/final development plan and conditional use permit for the Shops at Lyndale with the following stipulations: 1. That all animals be leashed. 2. That the walkways and parking lot be kept free of animal waste. 3. That pets not be exercised outside of the building. 4. That parking needs be assessed one year following approval of the amendment and that appropriate parking be provided if there is a need for spaces designated for dropping off pets. Basic of Recommendation: 1. Veterinary clinics are permitted uses in the C-2 district, which serves as a guide to allowable uses in the PC-2 district. 2. The Planning Commission and staff have found no substantive, reasonable land use basis for denying the amendment. 3. The existing shopping center provides adequate parking, parking circulation, and • landscaping to accommodate the addition of a vet clinic. 4. Existing laws and measures taken by Petsmart minimize the potential threat posed by the presence of animals to the public health, safety and welfare. 5. On March 26, 1996, the Planning Commission voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the proposal. 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: A public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 8, 1996. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue. Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Respectf ly submitted, James .

Background: The Academy of Holy Angels is proposing to construct a seasonal sports facility on its property at 6600 Nicollet Avenue. The neighborhood raised several issues with the proposal at the Planning Commission meeting on March 26, 1996. The Planning Commission recommended that Holy Angels and the neighbors go through mediation to facilitate communication between the two parties. The first mediation session is scheduled for April 9, 1996. A second session will be scheduled after the first session. Therefore, staff is recommending the public hearing be continued to April 22, 1996. Recommended Motion: Continue the public hearing regarding the amended conditional use permit for the • Academy of Holy Angels to the City Council meeting on April 22, 1996. Basic of Recommendation: 1. The Planning Commission requested that the two parties use mediation to communicate about the issues. 2. The Planning Commission did not complete its raview of the application. The Planning Commission will discuss the item after the mediation has been completed. Alternative Recommendation: None.

Background: The applicant is proposing to operate a used car sales lot at 6529 Penn Avenue. The City Council first approved a conditional use permit for the property on April 23, 1990 for a period of three years. The Council renewed the conditional use permit in 1993. The applicant began operating his business under the existing conditional use permit in January 1996. The conditional use permit expires on April 23, 1996. The former operator of the business did not comply with the conditional use permit and received two separate notices of noncompliance. The current applicant has been made aware of the past violations and has been informed of his responsibility to meet the stipulations of the conditional use permit. If he does not meet the stipulations, staff will take action to revoke the permit. • In the past, staff requested that the applicant make stormwater improvements to the site in compliance with City guidelines. The owner of the property asked that he not be required to make the improvements because of the time limit of the conditional use permit. Staff believes that the present use has been operating for a length of time sufficient to warrant stormwater improvements. Recommended Motion: Approve the conditional use permit for an additional three years to allow continued use of the property as a used car sales lot with the following stipulations: 1. That a 22 foot minimum drive aisle be maintained in the parking area. 2. That landscaping in the front of the property be maintained in compliance with the approved landscape plan and in compliance with PASSS design guidelines. 3. That a maximum of 30 cars be on the site at any one time. 4. That the City Engineer approve a stormwater management plan for the site. Basic of Recommendation: 1. The additional three year term will provide the Council with further oversight given the expected long term redevelopment of the area. • 12-I 0 2. On March 26, 1996 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use permit for an additional three years. 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.

Background: In an effort to streamline cumbersome ordinance requirements, Public Safety staff has identified an area of the liquor ordinance to amend regarding the licensing of liquor servers in liquor establishments. Currently, servers must apply for an annual license that entitles them to serve liquor in the establishment in which they are employed. Staff conducts a criminal history background and provides a typed, laminated identification card to the liquor establishment so that they are aware their employees are properly licensed. These cards are maintained by the establishment and must be presented to Public Safety staff upon request. Richfield's fee is currently $21 per year which is significantly higher than other surrounding communities. Licenses are generally for a period of two to three years with an average fee of $10-15 for a two year period. Annual licensing and processing of these licenses is very time consuming. Staff proposes that Richfield's fee remain at $21 but that the length of the license be extended to cover a two year period. This would result in streamlining the level of work involved. This change would also put the City more in line with the fees being charged for this type of license in the metro area and would more accurately reflect the time and cost involved in processing the license. First reading of this ordinance amendment was on March 11, 1996. Recommended Motion: Conduct the public hearing and approve second reading of an ordinance amending Section 1200.33 regarding the licensing of liquor establishment servers. Basis of Recommendation: 1. This amendment would more closely reflect the time and cost in processing these types of licenses. 2. This change would result in a more efficient process and provide staff with a small amount of additional time in which to process increased license requests in other areas. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City Council could decide to leave the current ordinance as is. Discussion/Decision Mode: Conduct the public hearing and approve second reading of an ordinance amending Section 1200.33 regarding the licensing of liquor establishment servers.

Background: The zoning ordinance prohibits automobile-related uses from locating on any site that abuts an R or R-1 district. Prior to the adoption of the revised ordinance in April 1995, the ordinance was written and interpreted in such a way that the fact that a site abutted an R or R-1 district was only one criteria used to review a conditional use permit application for an auto-related use. The effect of the ordinance change was to make any existing automobile-related use that abuts an R or R-1 district a legally nonconforming use. The zoning ordinance prohibits the expansion of legally nonconforming uses and the state of Minnesota prohibits the issuance of use variances. Thirteen auto-related business in the City were impacted by the change and are not able to expand, intensify, replace, or make any structural alteration to their business. The intent of the provision is to separate auto-related uses from residential uses. A buffer yard is another tool that can be used to separate incompatible uses from each other. The zoning ordinance currently requires buffer yards for uses such as hotels/motels and restaurants when they are located next to residential districts. The owners of the nonconforming businesses that would be affected by the change and the owners of the abutting residential property were notified of the proposed change. Recommended Motion: Hold a public hearing and adopt the attached ordinance amendment that allows service stations and auto-mechanical garages to locate next to an R or R-1 district if a buffer yard is established. Basic of Recommendation: 1. There is a need to provide a separation between residential and commercial uses. A buffer yard with landscaping and other screening is one means to separate residential and automobile-related uses. 2. The revised ordinance made several existing auto-related businesses nonconforming uses, which prohibits them from expanding and creates a is disincentive for making improvements to the property. i0_1 3. The buffer yard allows existing businesses to expand while protecting the adjacent neighborhood. It allows staff and policy makers to review and consider proposed expansions based on the individual proposal. 4. The ordinance change would apply only to auto-mechanical garages and service stations. Auto sales/lease lots and auto-body garages would still be prohibited from locating next to an R or R-1 district. Auto-mechanical garages and service stations provide services to the neighborhood and have less of an impact on the neighborhood. 5. There are several additional conditions relating to auto-related uses, such as noise limits and screening requirements, that were adopted with the revised ordinance. Any new business locating next to a residential district would have to comply with these requirements in addition to providing a landscaped buffer yard. 6. On February 27, 1996, the Planning Commission voted 7-1 (1 abstention) to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Deny the amendment. 2. Return the item to the Planning Commission for additional study. Discussion/Decision Mode: Ordinance amendments require a two-thirds majority vote of the Council for approval. A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on April 8, 1996. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue. Notice of the hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to property owners of the affected, non-conforming auto-related uses and the owners of the abutting residential property.

Prosser Martin Kirsch Don Priebe Michael Sandahl Susan Rosenberg Russ Susag March 27, 1996 Dear Resident: In 1995, the City revised its Zoning Ordinance. One of the changes made to the ordinance was to limit where auto-related businesses can locate. This change means that existing businesses that are located next to residential areas can continue to operate, but they can't expand their building. The City's Planning Commission took a look at this ordinance change this Winter and decided it might be too strict in a community like Richfield where so much of the land is residential. Businesses like gas stations and service garages provide services to residents and can be good neighbors if they are required to uphold certain standards. The Planning Commission has suggested that if these • businesses want to expand, they should be allowed to do so only if they provide a landscaped area to separate their business from the residential neighborhood. This ordinance change does not mean that your neighboring auto-related business is planning to expand at this time. If the business ever wanted to expand, they would still need to have their plan reviewed and approved by the City. You would be notified if your neighboring business ever proposed an expansion of their business. Because you live next to an auto-related business, staff wanted to let you know that the City Council will be discussing this issue on Monday, April 8, 1996, at 7:00 in the Council Chambers at Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

Background: The City Council policy resolution on purchasing provides that when the purchase of merchandise, materials, equipment or construction exceeds the amount of $5,000, authority to purchase shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration. Richfield's City Hall building is 30 years old. The heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems are reaching the point in life expectancy where considerable maintenance is required to keep them operating. The air conditioning system contains two large "Worthington" brand compressors. One of the compressors has developed a "knock," which indicates parts in the machine are worn and could fail during the coming cooling season. New Worthingtons are no longer manufactured. Comelex Corporation in Minneapolis rebuilds this brand of compressor; however, they do not supply labor to remove and replace the equipment. Comelex Corporation quoted a cost of $9,982 to purchase a rebuilt Worthington brand compressor. Further inquiries brought quotes from two vendors for the labor costs to remove the old compressor from the boiler room, and install the rebuilt compressor. Gartner Refrigeration & Manufacturing, Inc. quoted a price of $6,400, and Allan Mechanical, Inc. quoted a price of $7,400. Recommended Motion: Approve a purchase order to Comelex Corporation in the amount of $9,982 for the purchase of a rebuilt Worthington compressor; and approve a purchase order to Gartner Refrigeration & Manufacturing, Inc. in the sum of $6,400 for the labor costs of removing the old compressor and installing the rebuilt compressor. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Comelex Corporation is the only dealer in the area that works on the brand of compressor installed in 1966.z 2. Gartner Refrigeration & Manufacturing, Inc. quoted the lowest price for the labor costs. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Council could reject the quotations and instruct staff to obtain new quotes. 0 2. Council could do nothing and hope the system lasts one more season. qc-/ Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for the April 8, 1996 Council meeting.

Respectfully submitted, Jai Prosser City ager JDP:ds q1q CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 103 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Consideration for approval of increasing long term disability benefit. Background: The City's General Services, Management, Labor & Trades and Police Supervisors groups of employees are eligible for long term disability insurance coverage as part of their benefits package. Currently, the benefit pays 60% of salary coordinated with other disability benefits up to 70% All Sources Maximum. The premium for this coverage is $.36 per hundred dollars of salary per month. This City was recently made aware of an opportunity to increase the coordination of benefits level from 70% to 75% All Sources Maximum for an additional $.01 per hundred dollars salary. The increased cost for all covered City employees is approximately $50.00 per month or $600.00 annually. When this long term disability coverage was originally implemented, the benefits were not subject to income taxes. Internal Revenue Service regulations have changed since this benefit was first introduced at the City, making the entire benefit now taxable. By increasing the coordination from 70% to 75%o All Sources Maximum, the City has the opportunity to make this benefit more valuable to employees at a very minimal cost. In addition, it brings the true coordinated benefits level closer to where it was originally projected. • Recommended Motion: Approve the increase in the long term disability benefit. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The City has the opportunity to enhance the long term disability benefit at a very minimal cost. 2. Internal Revenue Service regulations now tax this benefit. 3. The City's budget can absorb the $.01 per hundred dollar salary increase for the remainder of 1996. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Do not approve the benefit increase. Discussion/Decision Mode: This item has been scheduled for April 8, 1996 so the City can seize the opportunity of the minimal cost for the benefit enhancement. Respec Ily submitted, Jame .

Ferber, City Clerk 1*07 0 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 102 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Proclamation recognizing that Wood Lake Nature Center, a nationally recognized nature center, is celebrating 25 years of success as an environmental education center, outdoor recreation area, naturalist training center, wildlife viewing area and open green space for the City. By supporting this facility of the Community Services Department for the past quarter of the century, the City has made a great contribution to the quality of life of its citizens and visitors. The Nature Center has a reputation of providing quality programs and classes as well as maintaining a natural area for passive leisure activities. Background: Nineteen ninety-six represents the 25th Anniversary of the beginning of Wood Lake Nature Center. In 1968, Brauer and Associates proposed to the Richfield City Council a plan for preserving and beautifying the 150 acres of land that is now Wood Lake. The City had the foresight to see the value of preserving and utilizing the area as a nature center and used funds from the liquor store and from the County to begin its long commitment to what has become a gem of the City. . Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people have hiked the trails, enjoyed the programs, gone skiing, birdwatched, photographed wildlife and received the benefit of the basin's function as a storm water holding area. Wood Lake initially set up a plan to offer three free field trips to all students in Richfield and continues to do so today. Other groups may sign up after Richfield students and pay a fee. In 1995, Wood Lake's professional staff taught 10,692 Richfield students and 3,372 non-Richfield students with its graduated K-6 curriculum. Additional groups, special classes and birthday parties add up to 16,854 participants for the same year, totaling 30,221 contact hours with staff. Wood Lake also established itself as a naturalist training center and has enjoyed the benefits of having college interns over the years who help with the teaching of environmental education. Up to four interns each quarter, from colleges around the state and from as far away as Boston and Washington, have been a part of Wood Lake's training program. Wood Lake maintains and updates exhibits which help to interpret the wildlife in the area. One in particular shows the pattern of occurrence of over 200 birds which have been sighted in the park. • Wood Lake has served as the site to celebrate Arbor and Earth Day for the City with programs ranging from All Species Walks to Arbor Day Plays. ? A The Halloween program has captured the imagination of its young visitors for years and has been Wood Lake's most popular public program, attracting hundreds of people annually who cannot wait to see what costumed creature is going to pop out on the trail. Recommended Motion: Approve an official proclamation by the Mayor designating that the City of Richfield does officially recognize the 25th Anniversary of its Wood Lake Nature Center and the events that will commemorate this momentous occasion from April 22 to April 28, 1996. tsasis of Kecommenoation: Richfield, through its Wood Lake Nature Center facility, has much to be proud of in the way it has served its constituents and added to the aesthetics of the community during the.last 25 years. Alternative Recommendation: None. Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for the April 8, 1996 Council meeting. Wood Lake Nature Center Manager, Karen Shanberg, will be present to accept the proclamation. Respectf Ily submitted, Jam64 D. Prosser City Manager JDP:ds ?J F-1 L Zia ? ?s s gg' N ..

Background: The American Water Works Association has declared May 5-11 as National Drinking Water Week and May 11 as National Drinking Water Day for 1996. This recognition has been nationwide for several years. This will be the seventh year Richfield has participated with a local celebration. Utility and Engineering personnel have planned an Open House at the Water Plant for Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the National Drinking Water Week and Public Works Day observance. There will be_exhibits including several pieces of equipment for the public to inspect, tours of the Water Plant, and momentos for all ages. Although May 4 is a week earlier than the official National Drinking Water Day, Richfield has found the Open House to be a good way to kick off the National Drinking Water Week and the earlier date has provided greater attendance at the Open House by avoiding conflict with Mother's Day and the fishing opener. • Recommended Motion: Adopt an official proclamation by the Mayor designating May 5-11, 1996 as National Drinking Water Week and May 4, 1996 as National Drinking Water Day in the City of Richfield. Basis of Recommendation: Richfield has an outstanding water treatment plant and distribution system, and should be recognized. Alternative Recommendation: None.

Background: The Community Services Department of the City of Richfield encompasses the areas that are traditionally known as "Public Works" - streets, parks, sewer, water, public buildings and engineering. In 1960, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed a National Public Works Week as an annual reminder of the many ways public works contributes to the quality of life. For many years, public works professionals across North America have applauded and shared the accomplishments of those in their profession. The National Public Works Week for 1996 is May 19-26. Although Richfield City staff plan to hold celebrations on May 4 with a Garage Open House and Water Plant Open House, the attached proclamation includes that week as an effort to coordinate with the national observance. Recommended Motion: Adopt an official proclamation by the Mayor declaring May 4, 1996 as Public Works Day, and May 19-25, 1996 as Public Works Week in the City of Richfield. Basis of Recommendation: Richfield has an outstanding public works record, and should be recognized for the same. Alternative Recommendation: None.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 98 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Proclamation designating April 28 as Arbor Day in Richfield, and May as Arbor Month. Background: For many years, the City of Richfield noted Arbor Day and Arbor Month in an informal manner. The Forestry and Park Maintenance Divisions coordinated a tree-planting with the schools and Mayor; and the press usually noted the occasion with a brief article and/or picture. These observations of Arbor Day and Arbor Month (along with meeting other requirements) were sufficient to grant Richfield a "Tree City, USA" status from 1986 through 1988. In 1989, the National Arbor Day Foundation required a proclamation for recertification, and from 1990 through 1995 the proclamation plus proof of an official observance was required. Forestry Division staff worked with Wood Lake Nature Center staff to hold an observance each year, which has been covered by local cable news, and at times, the official newspaper. Again in 1996, an official observance of Arbor Day is needed in order to renew Richfield's "Tree City USA" status for the tenth year. The official Arbor Day observance will be held on April 28, 1996 at Wood Lake Nature Center. Many Richfield residents appreciate the . opportunity to teach their children the importance of trees in the urban areas. Recommended Motion: Approve an official proclamation by the Mayor designating April 28, 1996 as Arbor Day and May 1996 as Arbor Month in the City of Richfield. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Richfield has a long tradition of acknowledging and celebrating Arbor Day and Arbor Month. 2. The proclamation is necessary to retain "Tree City, USA" status in 1996. Alternative Recommendation: None Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for the April 8, 1996 Council meeting.

C?- CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 97 Agenda April 8, 1996 Issue Statement: Acceptance of a Tree City USA ten year award. Background: Tree City, USA began as a 1976 Bicentennial project co-sponsored by the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA-Forest Service. The National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors are now co-sponsors as well. To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: • a tree board or department (which is the Community Services Commission); • a city tree ordinance (Richfield's ordinance provides for the planting, maintenance, care, protection and removal of trees on public property); • a comprehensive community forestry program; and • an Arbor Day observance. The Forestry Division pursues an aggressive diseased tree removal and disposal program, as well as a planting project each spring. The Forestry Division budget contains over $200,000 each year to achieve these goals, which is well above the $2 per capita requirement for Tree City USA status. In 1985, the City of Richfield applied to the National Arbor Day Foundation for Tree City USA status. Richfield was named a Tree City USA for the first time in 1986. Since that time, Richfield has applied for and received Tree City USA status each year. Communities recognized for the 10th year receive a special ten year award, the 10th anniversary flag and entrance signs. Jonathan Stiegler, the Tree City USA Coordinator with the Department of Natural Resources, will be at the meeting to present the award to the Mayor and City Council. Recommended Motion: Accept the ten year award recognizing the City of Richfield as a Tree City USA. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Richfield has promoted an effective community forestry program as an ongoing process of growth and renewal, a program of planting and care that continues through the years. 2. Due to this program, the City of Richfield has earned Tree City USA status for the past 10 years. Alternative Recommendation: None. a-1 Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for the April 8, 1996 Council meeting. Operations Coordinator Randy Hughes will be in attendance at the meeting to represent the Forestry Division. Respectfully submitted, James Prosser City Ma ager JDP:ds c:
