CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 82
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution to increase the pay of election
judges.
Background:
Minnesota Statute 204B.31(d) provides that compensation to
election judges serving in any city is to be determined by the
governing body of the city and that election judges shall receive
at least the prevailing Minnesota minimum wage for each hour
spent carrying out their duties at the polling places and in
attending training sessions. The City of Richfield currently
compensates election judges at the following rates:
Chairperson $6.00 per hour
Asst. Chairperson $5.50 per hour
Judge $5.25 per hour
The City revises the pay of election judges periodically to
maintain reasonable and appropriate compensation rates. The last
time Richfield adjusted the pay for election judges was four
years ago in 1990.
Recommendation:
Adopt the attached resolution increasing the pay of election
judges to the following:
Chairperson $6.25 per hour
Asst. Chairperson $5.75 per hour
Judge $5.50 per hour
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Election judges fulfill an essential role in the conduct and
integrity of the election process.
2. Election judge compensation was last adjusted in 1990.
3. This increase would maintain the pay scale as comparable with
what other communities in the area are paying election
judges (see attached survey).
4. Maintaining a reasonable wage will assist in retaining
experienced judges and recruiting new judges.
5. The 1994 Election Division budget includes funding for the
proposed adjustment.
. Alternative Recommendation:
1. Reject an increase for election judge pay.
2. Adjust election judge pay to different rates than what is
recommended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter has been scheduled for consideration on March 14,
1994 to enable the City to incorporate the new pay structure into
the election judge recruitment and training process for the fall
1994 elections.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 83
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Consideration of an amendment to a contract with the Cantus
Corporation for computer hardware and software for Public Safety.
Background:
In February 1991, the City Council approved a contract with the
Cantus Corporation of Bloomington, Minnesota, for a computer-
aided dispatching and police records system consisting of both
hardware and software. The system is now fully operational and
meeting the City's requirements. However, the software is
running on a different hardware platform than called for in the
contract. The mini-computer purchased by the City under the
contract did not meet expectations. A proposed amendment to the
original contract has been negotiated to compensate the City for
the equipment which did not function properly.
The computer-aided dispatching system was implemented in August
1992. Although extensive testing had been conducted, technical
problems and poor performance began to occur almost immediately
after the system went "live." After two months of attempting to
solve them with no success, Cantus and the City jointly agreed to
try running the programs on a different type of hardware.
The City also installed a network of personal computers in the
Public Safety Department for other purposes. A version of the
Cantus software was installed on the network in October 1992.
None of the technical problems reoccurred and the software's
performance on the PC network was superior to the mini-computer.
The police records programs were moved to the PC network and the
mini-computer was taken out of service in January 1993.
In January 1993, staff formally notified Cantus that the mini-
computer was unacceptable and withheld the final payment for the
system. Staff determined that $40,866 worth of equipment and
services purchased from Cantus and $5,972 purchased from other
vendors were sitting idle due to the inability of the mini-
computer to function as required. Staff requested that Cantus
meet with them to discuss possible remedies. Although Cantus
argued that staff had not allowed them enough time to solve the
problems, a proposed settlement has been negotiated which is
valued at $42,851.
The settlement is in the form of an amendment to the original
contract and consists of five components:
01. Retainer Payment.
The City will not make the final payment of $6,310.
qc- (
• 2. Sale of Mini-Computer.
Cantus will sell the mini-computer and related items. The
City will receive up to $10,000 of the selling price. If the
selling price is below $10,000, Cantus will make up the
difference with services, software or equipment agreeable to
the City.
3. Maintenance.
Cantus will provide 12 months of free support for all of
their software and on-site maintenance for the PCs used for
dispatching, valued at $4,081.
4. Software Modules.
Cantus will provide the City with four additional police-
related software modules valued at $3,200 for no cost.
5. Custom Programming.
Cantus will provide custom programming services for five
groups of modifications and enhancements to their software at
no cost. These are changes that only Richfield is requesting
and which Cantus will not be providing as a part of the
package they sell to other agencies. This programming is
valued at $19,260.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the City Manager to amend the City's February 8, 1991,
contract with the Cantus Corporation to add provisions valued at
$42,851 as compensation for the expenses incurred by the City
relating to the non-functioning mini-computer.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The amended agreement calls for the City to be compensated
for all of the ineffective items purchased from the Cantus
Corporation and for a third of the items purchased from other
vendors. The net cost to the City is $3,987 out of a total
of $46,838.
2. The services and products proposed in the amendment are of
benefit to the City. The City has paid for the maintenance
services in the past, the custom programming will improve the
usefulness and accuracy of the system, and the software
modules would have been acquired as a part of the planned
expansion of the application.
3. This agreement will allow the City to maintain a good working
relationship with the Cantus Corporation and preserve our
investment in a system that is now meeting the City's needs.
4. The staff feels that this negotiated settlement is reasonably
• fair to the City and is preferable to costly litigation.
q c- D.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could direct staff to resume negotiations with
the Cantus Corporation to attempt to achieve a settlement for
the full amount, or to change the composition of the
agreement.
2. The Council could direct the City Attorney's office to
evaluate possible litigation against the Cantus Corporation.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is requesting Council approval at the March 14 meeting.
Cantus has secured a buyer willing to pay $10,000 for the mini-
computer if it can be delivered by the first week of April. If
Council action is delayed, this deal would probably fall through
and staff and Cantus agree that another buyer, other than a used
equipment company at a much lower price, will be hard to find.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No.84
Agenda: March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 of a reversible plow and wing.
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.
At the February 14, 1994 City Council meeting, Council approved the
purchase of a single-axle dump truck with the understanding that the
remaining budgeted funds be used to purchase attachments for snow
removal. One of the attachments is a reversible plow and wing.
Since staff has not had experience with this type of attachment,
several cities were contacted who presently operate vehicles with
these attachments. The cities of Edina, Bloomington and Brooklyn
Park all highly recommend the Falls brand of reversible plow and
wing. This particular brand is durable, has low maintenance, and
some unique design features such as a multiple trip edge on the front
plow, and hydraulic disconnect on the wing attachment.
Staff obtained quotations on a 12 ft. power reverse front plow and a
10 ft. wing plow from two vendors as follows:
MacQueen Equipment, Inc.
Little Falls Machine, Inc.
$12,464.25
12,701.00
Recommended Motion:
Approve the purchase of one reversible front plow and one hydraulic
wing plow from MacQueen Equipment, Inc. for the sum of $12,464.25
including tax and installation.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. This attachment is highly recommended by neighboring cities who
have been using them for years.
2. MacQueen Equipment, Inc. submitted the low quote for the purchase
and has proven to be a reliable vendor in the past.
3. Adequate funds are budgeted for this purchase.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to reject the quotes and ask staff to obtain new
ones, however, staff does not believe a lower price can be obtained
from a reputable vendor.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff is asking for approval at the March 14, 1994 Council meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 85
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Public hearing on the Urban Hennepin County 1994 Year XX
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation.
Background:
The City Council is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on
March 14, 1994 to determine Richfield's use of the 1994 Year XX
Urban allocation of $267,533. Requests for $276,213 of Year XX
funds have been submitted.
Information concerning Hennepin County's CDBG program objectives,
the project funding requests and the rationale for providing the
funds is attached. Total funds allocated to Richfield in Year XX
increased 10$ from last year. As in past years, Richfield
proposes Public Service and Home Improvement program components.
Richfield has supported three public service agencies through the
CDBG allocation - Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association
(G.M.D.C.A.), H.O.M.E. and SKILLS 200 programs. In recent years,
the G.M.D.C.A., H.O.M.E. and SKILLS 2000 programs have received a
combined total of 15 percent of Richfield's allocation. This is
consistent with the 15 percent cap guideline Hennepin County
• recommends. A fourth public service agency request from
Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH) is also discussed.
The CASH request falls outside the 15 percent cap.
The H.O.M.E. Program (Household and Outside Maintenance for
Elderly) indicates that the need in Richfield is great and
continues to increase. This program allows elderly residents to
stay in their homes and delay entering nursing home facilities.
H.O.M.E. draws down their CDBG annual funding in six months.
H.O.M.E. has experienced decreases in funding from other sources
such as United Way and contributions. Therefore, this year
H.O.M.E. is requesting $21,300.
SKILLS 2000, a Richfield based adult education service program
for low income individuals, has been funded for the last two
years. SKILLS 2000 was initially funded by the McKnight
Foundation and is seeking other funding to continue this service.
This year, SKILLS 2000 is requesting $8,510.
G.M.D.C.A. funds the Richfield child care sliding fee program.
For the families they can help, it is often the difference
between keeping a job, going on AFDC or putting their children in
less than adequate care developments. There are over 120
Richfield families on the waiting list. G.M.D.C.A. is requesting
$12,000.
CASH has submitted a request for $7,000 to support a tenant
information and advocacy hotline, a tenant community organizer
5-1
staff position, and
Hennepin County has
prevention program i
CASH indicates that
mortgage foreclosure

indicated only the mortgage foreclosure
s an eligible CDBG initiative. In 1992,
14 Richfield homeowners were assisted by the
prevention program.
Richfield supports two Home Improvement projects; Housing
Rehabilitation Deferred Loans and the New Home project; Housing
Rehabilitation Deferred loans and New Home Program Scattered
Site Housing. Presently 25 households are waiting to be served
by Rehabilitation Deferred Loans. The CDBG Year XX funds, when
combined with loans presently in progress, will be sufficient to
serve all those waiting plus approximately six additional
households which either need emergency repairs or seek more
major repairs during the 1993 spring, summer, fall,
repair/construction season. A total amount of $136,603 is
requested for rehabilitation.
Two projects are proposed with the $78,800 request for the New
Home Scattered Site Housing Program. One site is committed to
the HRA's ongoing Vo-Tech project initiative for a moderate
income purchaser. The HRA has also expressed an interest in a
site being identified to facilitate a Habitat for Humanity
initiative; home ownership for lower income families.
Sufficient funds are budgeted to provide this additional
opportunity.
• A new project this year is to begin the process of bringing City
Hall into compliance with accessibility standards required by
the American Disability Act. This Act required the City to
conduct an evaluation which identified the needs which include
modification to the entry doors and restrooms.
Since Richfield's total allocation is higher than last year, all
recipient programs increase. The chart below summarizes
previous allocations and requested and recommended funding:

Recommended Motion:
Approve the attached resolution which identified the allocation
of Year XX CDBG funds as follows:
1. Housing Improvements:
a. Housing Rehabilitation $ 78,800
b. Scattered Site Housing $136,603
2. Public Facilities and Improvements
a. City Hall improvements $ 12,000
3. Public Service:
a. H.O.M.E. $ 21,300
b. Child Day Care $ 10,320
C. SKILLS 2000 $ 8,510
Total $267,533
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The County's statement of objectives indicates that
communities should limit the number of projects funded to
three and the minimum project budget to $7,500. The proposal
is divided into three projects, Home Improvement and Public
Service and Public Facilities and Improvements, which meet
the objectives stated.
• 2. Housing Improvement funding should be allocated to housing
rehabilitation and scattered site acquisitions under the New
Home Program. The $78,800 allocated for scattered site is
the minimum required to complete one scattered site project.
The $148,603 would be used for rehabilitation of single
family homes through the Deferred Loan program.
3. Public service funding would be allocated for the H.O.M.E.
program to service approximately 20 households. The child
day care subsidy would be used to service approximately five
families. The SKILLS 2000 allocation would service up to ten
individuals. The three programs are combined into one
project entitled "public services". The proposal by CASH is
not included because specific need, direct benefit and
alternative means of supply to Richfield are not delineated
such that it would dictate reducing the funding to the other
public service providers.
4. Public Facilities and Improvements would begin to bring the
City Hall facility into compliance with ADA accessibility
requirements.
5. Public service accounts may not be increased beyond the
percent of total level of funding as proposed. This will
• allow the County to stay within the 15 percent guideline for
commitment to public service funding.
5-3
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Change the amount of funds allocated to each project.
2. Fund other eligible projects which have not been identified
by staff for funding.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing on this matter has been scheduled for March 14,
1994. The deadline for submitting the 1994 CDBG Year XX
application to Hennepin County is Friday, April 1, 1994.

Request for Community Development Block Grant Funding
Amount: $10,000
Purpose: Retro-fitting entry doors to City Hall with button actuated power
opener/closers for ADA accessibility.
Background: In conducting the City's ADA self evaluation, one of the issues that needed
to be addressed is modifying the entry doors to provide a power opener for
individuals with a disability. The main entry doors to City Hall from the
parking lot would be modified with a retro-fitted closer unit. In addition,
one set of doors in the rear of City Hall on the lower level would also be
fitted with a power opener, if it can be accomplished within the existing
space.
Amount: $2,000
Purpose: Modification of Public Safety lobby restrooms to conform with ADA
requirements.
Background: The City's ADA self evaluation also indicated that one restroom facility in
the lobby level of City Hall be made ADA accessible. The Public Safety
lobby restrooms could be modified to meet the ADA standards

RATIONALE FOR FUNDING REHABILITATION DEFERRED LOAN PROJECT
Richfield's Rehabilitation Deferred Loan Program provides a means
for low income homeowners to make needed repairs to maintain
their homes, and improve the general condition of Richfield's
housing stock. Improvements include code compliance, general
repairs and improvements, weatherization, and accessibility for
the handicapped. For 1994, $148,603 in CDBG Year XX assistance
is requested for the following reasons:
- 25 households have already applied for assistance.
- The spring and summer high demand months, when new requests
for assistance most often occur, are approaching.
- The Deferred Loan.Program is the only rehabilitation
program which serves the low income homeowner clientele.
- The amount requested, although an increase, is still
insufficient to meet waiting applicants and anticipated
demand.
- The 1994 HRA and Housing & Redevelopment Division goals are
to assist homeowners in making repairs and to maintain the
existing housing stock.
In 1993, 19 low income Richfield homeowners were assisted with
approximately $124,000 in deferred loans. The loan total
reflects funding activities which overlap during every calendar
year. Five of these were emergency loans which primarily
financed furnace replacement where failure occurred.
The continued demand for deferred loans reflects the increasing
financial commitment required for households to maintain a home.
Assistance to elderly homeowners allows them to continue to live
independently in the community. Assistance to families, often
single parent households, provides a measure of household
stability.

RATIONALE FOR FUNDING SCATTERED SITE PROJECT
The New Home Program (Scattered Site project) provides the HRA
with the opportunity to expand affordable housing opportunities
and maintain the existing housing stock for moderate income
persons. The project makes long term improvements when:
substandard housing is cleared;
- vacant land suitable for development is acquired;
- buildings are acquired and rehabilitated to create
additional housing;
- new housing is developed that increases the affordable
housing stock.
The New Home Program is the most active scattered site
acquisition and clearance affordable housing program occurring in
Richfield. During the last 10 years, the Richfield HRA was often
the only agent producing new affordable housing opportunities for
young families in the city.
Funding this project accomplishes several goals:
1. Allows further removal of approximately 150 substandard homes
that currently exist.
Those properties are difficult to sell in the market place.
The HRA continually receives offers throughout the year from
owners interested in selling. During 1993, 35 property
owners indicated interest in selling their property to the
HRA.
2. Allows blighted housing conditions or abandoned housing
problems to be resolved.
The housing stock, which is primarily 45 to 50 years old and
includes garage homes and older cottages, are approaching
replacement age.
When foreclosures occur and create vacant/abandoned housing,
the HRA can become involved by acquiring, rehabilitating and
selling those properties.
3. Ensures reutilization of Richfield house structures within
the City.
The HRA has reused seven Richfield house structures by
relocation and remodeling them on scattered sites throughout
the City. Structures were acquired from properties purchased
for park expansion and commercial and residential
developments.
4. Provides affordable first-time home buying opportunities.
5?
Larger family households with moderate incomes have
difficulty finding three and four bedroom homes in good
repair which sell for the Richfield average sale price of
$83,000. With cost reductions by Hennepin Technical College,
MHFA mortgages and HRA second mortgages, purchasing families
can qualify with incomes between $25,000 and $40,000,
depending on family size. The New Home Program has also
provided a stable tenancy. Since the program started in
1978, all but two of twenty properties developed have
continued with the original owner.
5. Continues a cost effective construction relationship with the
Hennepin Technical College (HTC).
Working with HTC, new homes can be built at a cost of
approximately $65,000 to $75,000 while existing homes sell
for $83,000 on the average. Recent private new construction
by contractors has cost in excess of $100,000.
6. Increases property tax revenue.
The increase in tax revenues from properties redeveloped by
the HRA approximates $1,000 per property annually.
7. Continues housing distribution on scattered sites.
Blighted housing conditions and HRA redevelopment occur on
scattered sites throughout the City as properties become
available. This achieves uniform upgrading of neighborhoods
throughout the City without concentrating assistance in one
location.
8. Provides housing stability in neighborhoods where blight has
continued for a lengthy period of time.
Most acquisitions are encouraged by surrounding neighbors who
seek a solution to a substandard house, which usually
experiences frequent changes in ownership and progressive
deterioration.
9. Continues a process where one scattered site purchase each
year ensures that HTC will exclusively provide new homes in a
timely manner for sale to low and moderate first time buyers.
CDBG funds expended in 1993 provided a completed home at 6803
Nicollet Avenue South. CDBG funds in 1993 also provide the
opportunity for completed homes in 1994 on sites at 6634
Fourth and 7112 First Avenues. Approximately one to two
homes are built each year if CDBG allocations continue.
10. Complements other program initiatives by enabling the HRA to
address a variety of housing needs.
Staff utilizes the Richfield Rediscovered New Construction
Program (RR) to increase the rate at which substandard
structures are removed and new single family homes are built.
CDBG funds, however, continue to be important in enabling the
HRA to meet specific needs:
- New housing opportunities are provided for low and moderate
income first-time home buying families, while RR homes have
above average values and will be sold at market rates.
- CDBG funds enable the HRA to provide a housing program
continuum that meets modest cost housing needs as well as
housing needs for middle income persons.
- CDBG funds provide a mechanism to ensure a continued
affordable housing construction relationship with HTC.
RR uses only private developers.
- CDBG funds function as a write-down subsidy requiring no
repayment, thus allowing the HRA to also work with non-
profit developers such as Habitat for Humanity.

Member-at-Large share of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Year XX
Robert DeGhetto (July 1, 1994 - June 30,1995) funds to support the HOME
Member-at-Large Program. It has become increasingly difficult, with decreases in
Mary Anderson funding for the past three years from the United Way (due to -
Lucille Crow poor campaigns) and from contributions, for Senior Community
Karl Dansky Services to fill the gap between the HOME Program's expenses
Alison Fuhr and revenues. This is the reason for the larger than average
William H. Gray

Kev nud ueger Richfield's CDBG funds will still be leveraged from client fees,
Senator Gen Olson funding from the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches

Benjamin F. Withhart -third of the Programs' cost. GMCC funding, utilizing Federal
Executive Director & C.E.O. Title III monies, helps to subsidize chore services. Friends of

Dear Ms. Kunz:

I am requesting that Richfield use $12,000 of its Year XX CDBQ money to continue funding the
childcare sliding fee program. The Richfield child care sliding fee program has been an
important support to Richfield families who
. are working or in school.
The r
h o ra description
p g m we have used for a number of years is still accurate. We continue to
work with Hennepin County to implement a coordinated first come first serve waiting list. There
are over 120Richfield families on the waiting list for sliding fee child assis tan
out ce. We have
spent all but $2,300.00 of the Richfield Year XIX CDBG funds, At the present time we are
contacting the next family. on. the waiting list to see if their need matches this funding amount.
I know that With such a long waiting list the $12,000 r uest may sound insignificant. For the
families we are able to helpp however, it is often the difference between keeping a job, going on
AFDC or uttin their children in less than d uate
p g a out arrangements. We are continuin our
efforts to obtoin full funding from'the State and Federal levels. gIn the mean time I hope that the
City of Richfield will renew its commitment to this program.
. In addition We would like to request that the City of Richfield formally consider endorsing State
funding of thb Child Care Sliding Fee Program. Both Hennepin County and the City of
Minneapolis have placed fully funding the Child Care Sliding Fee waiting list high on their
legislative priorities. I have enclosed the form the Child Care Works Coalition is using for
organizations to endorse this funding. Please let us know if this can be placed on the City Council
aginda or rofl,.rred to an appropriate committee for discussion. We would be happyy to provide
information aid background as well as attend a meeting to answer any questions, Ultimately full
state funding of the Sliding Fee Child Care program along with Federal Welfare reform could
relieve the City of Richfield of our annual requests and allow Richfield families to work and
provide dece4t quality care for their children.
Sincerely,
/Jim hiicholie .

The 1994 Child Care Campaign
Child Care Sliding Fee Endorsement
A broad coalition of Minnesota organizations is supporting a campaign to
increase the child care sliding fee by $32 million this 1994 legislative session. The
$32 millioh increase will meet the demonstrated need for child care for the 6200
families that are currently on the waiting list for child care in the state. Child care
is a basic need for single parent families and many two parent families. It is also
where important nurturing and education happens for many children. The .
average cost of child care for at pre-schooler is $4,000. Minnesota's low-income
families need assistance in paying for child care so they can work or go to school.
Less than One-third of the families needing asssistance, receive it, because oil
itnited investment of both the federal and state governments.
The 1994 Child Care Campaign aims to make Minnesota more responsive to this
basic need for families with children.

Dear Judy:
I am. pleased to once again request funding for SKILLS 2000 through the City of Richfield and
its Community Development Block Grant Funds. I am requesting $8,510 in Block Grant Funds
to serve Richfield residents.
SKILLS 2000 continues to serve residents of Hennepin County with innovative programing that
promotes the economic self-sufficiency of low skilled, unemployed or underemployed parents
who face multiple barriers to employment. SKILLS 2000 combines adult basic education for
workplace literacy; vocational counseling, job-specific training, and other job-related services;
and family counseling and support. Services are provided through the collaboration of employers,
• educators, vocational experts and social service professionals.
In 1993, SKILLS 2000 provided educational, vocational and employment services to 67
individuals. Ten of these program participants were residents of Richfield. Of these ten:
• 100% were economically disadvantaged.
80% were unemployed.
• 90% were single parents.
• Four are currently employed.
• One entered post-secondary training.
• Four are continuing in the program.
• Four received High School Diplomas or GED and two plan to graduate in June 1994.
I am pleased with the program outcomes from 1993 and anticipate continued success in the
future. It appears that the carefully designed, comprehensive services provided by the program
makes SKILLS 2000 a model for the integration of education. and employment training for adults.
Estimates for program costs are based on the following information. A SKILLS 2000 participant
in a high school diploma track will spend, on average, six months completing academic
requirements. That participant will continue working with program staff an additional two
months to develop a vocational plan, to build skills, and to find employment. The cost in 1994
of providing services will be approximately $7.50 per hour or $3,750 per participant annually. I
• anticipate that the SKILLS 2000 program will serve at least ten Richfield residents in 1994.
A Program of
Employment Action Center, A Division of Multi Resource Centers, Inc.,
and South Hennepin Adult Programs in Education, A Community Education Service
I am grateful for the support that the City of Richfield has provided to SKILLS 2000 through
CDBG funds. This cooperation has resulted in several Richfield families reaching self-sufficiency
in a relatively short period of time. I hope that the City Council will approve this request and that
our mutually beneficial relationship continues. A complete program budget for 1994 is included
with this letter. Please contact me with any questions or for additional information.

(612) 933-9180
FAX (612) 933-6147
This letter is to request funding in the amount of $7,000 from the city's Community
Development Biock Grant program for 1994. Funds will be used to support HOME Line, the
housing services program of Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH).
HOME Line was begun by CASH in January 1992. Over the past two years, HOME Line has
developed four housing programs for low and moderate income homeowners and renters:
- 1) a tenant "hotline" to assist tenants with rental housing problems;
- 2) tenant organizing assistance to educate and train low income tenants to work together to
solve common problems in a given complex;
- 3) a mortgage foreclosure prevention program to provide personal, technical, and financial
help to homeowners facing foreclosure due to circumstances beyond their control; and
- 4) free legal help and financial assistance for families with children facing eviction.
These programs are described in more detail in the HOME Line Program Description enclosed. I
have also included a 1994 operating budget for our housing services and a fact sheet that details
HOME Line's tenant advocacy and foreclosure prevention activities in Richfield.
Altogether, HOME Line has assisted approximately 10,000 suburban Hennepin County residents
since it began operation in early 1992. Well over 90% of these people have low or moderate
incomes by HUD standards.
We appreciate your willingness to consider our request for support. If you have questions or
need additional information, please feel free to contact Charlie Warner, our Housing Programs
Manager, at 933-9180. We would also appreciate being informed of any public meetings or
hearings at which your 1994 CDBG program is considered.
Sincerely,

HOME Line Program Description
(January 1994) .
Introduction
HOME Line is the name given to CASH's set of housing services that operate in suburban Hennepin County.
These currently include tenant advocacy (started in January 1992), tenant organizing (May 1992), mortgage
foreclosure prevention counselling (August 1992), and legal defense for families facing eviction (September
1993). CASH, standing for Community Action for Suburban Hennepin, is the "anti-poverty agency" serving low
income people throughout Minneapolis' suburbs. It is a private nonprofit corporation with tax-exempt status
under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. CASH is funded primarily with federal grants passed to
us through the Minnesota Department of Jobs and Training. Additional funding is provided by Hennepin County,
the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), ACTION, and several. suburban Hennepin municipalities.
Tenant Advocacy
The advocacy service assists individual tenants and is provided primarily over the phone (the "hotline"),
although tenants do occasionally drop in to the office. Individual advocacy includes identifying. the tenant's
• problem, providing accurate and timely information on relevant tenant/landlord rights and responsibilities,
helping the tenant understand options they might use to remedy their problem, and, often, mailing out printed
materials provided to us by Legal Aid. As advocates gain experience and expertise, there may be opportunities
to assist individual tenants prepare for court and, in some cases, represent them in court.
More complex cases are often referred to Legal Aid or to volunteer (pro bono) lawyers through the Hennepin
County Bar Association's Legal Advice Clinic. Frequently, advocates will assist by referring tenants to other
services and programs to help with problems that may be outside the sphere of tenant/landlord issues. Where
advocates discover problems affecting many or all tenants in a complex, they may refer the case to HOME
Line's tenant organizer.
Tenant Organizing
Where circumstances warrant and general problems exist, HOME Line's tenant organizer will work with groups
of tenants to address problems collectively. Collective tenant action has been used in situations involving poor
maintenance and repair throughout a complex, abusive behavior against tenants by management or maintenance
personnel, and violation of regulations governing various housing assistance programs. Often, especially in
cases involving government-assisted housing, HOME Line will secure assistance for the tenant group from Legal
Aid.
The organizing _project has helped to form a county-wide tenant organization, the Suburban Association For
Empowering Tenants (SAFE-T), to promote education on tenant/landlord rights and responsibilities and other
housing issues. We are also actively assisting in the formation of a state-wide tenants group, the Minnesota
Tenants Network. The Network is primarily focused on improving tenant/landlord law through legislative
• work.

Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention
HOME Line's Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention program helps lower income homeowners who are facing fore-
closure and the possible loss of their homes due to circumstances beyond their control. Often this is caused by
a family bleak-up (divorce, abandonment, or death of a spouse) or the loss of a job due to economic dis-
location. Intensive individual financial counselling with the homeowner and prompt, knowledgeable negotiations
with the lender can sometimes save the situation. .
The foreclosure prevention staff assist homeowners gain access to public and private financial resources to
help solve a delinquency. Where appropriate, a last-resort loan will be made to the homeowner to bring the
loan current. The loan is non-interest bearing and comes due on sale of the property or when it is no longer
owner-occupied. The program's Emergency Loan Fund is capitalized with funds from CASH; additional loan
funds are available to the program through the MHFA's Emergency Mortgage and Rental Assistance Program .
Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance
This Is. Home Line's newest program, funded by Hennepin County in September 1993. Through this county
assistance, we contract with an attorney in private practice to provide legal advice, help with negotiations,
courtroom representation, and, for income-eligible households, emergency loans for families with children who
are facing eviction from their homes. The program operates primarily in the Brookdale division of Hennepin
County District Court. Most assisted families live in Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Robbinsdale,
and Crystal.
• Staffing
HOME Line's storefront office on Mainstreet in downtown Hopkins is staffed by CASH employees, VISTAs
(Volunteers in Service to America, a program of the federal ACTION office) and volunteers from the
community. CASH/HOME Line staff include the director of the tenant advocacy program, a tenant organizer,
the director of the foreclosure prevention program and her assistant, and an overall housing programs.
manager. CASH also contracts with an attorney in private practice to provide eviction defense to families with
children. The VISTAs are assigned, one each, to the tenant advocacy program and the tenant organizing
program. Volunteers serve primarily as tenant advocates.
We work closely with the Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis. Legal Aid lawyers train our volunteer advocates in
Minnesota tenant/landlord law and provide back-up advice to advocates. Legal Aid lawyers also provide
representation to tenant groups organized through HOME Line.
Because volunteers are a critical element in HOME Line's success, we place strong emphasis on their
recruitment, training, and recognition.
Volunteer Involvement
Volunteers are a mainstay of much of HOME Line's work. Our tenant hotline is staffed in large part by
volunteers recruited from area law schools and the suburban community. The tenant organizing program works
with groups of volunteer tenants seeking to improve their collective situation. SAFE-T and the Minnesota
Tenants'Network are totally volunteer organizations. The Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention program utilizes a
five-person Loan Committee composed of volunteers from the CASH board and from the community. Law
• students also volunteer with HOME Line's Family Homelessness Prevention and Assistance program. Law
student volunteers, provided to the project through the Minnesota Justice Foundation, interview clients,
prepare trial documents, and represent eviction defendants in court under the supervision of HOME Line's
contract attorney. Altogether, over 3,000 hours of volunteer time are donated to HOME Line each year.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 86
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Approval of a resolution amending the allocation of the 1993
General Fund budget.
Background:
The City Charter provides that the City Council must appropriate
monies for operations of the City on a departmental level basis.
During the course of the year, the City Council amends the
operating budget and it is referred to as the Revised Budget.
After the compilation of the 1993 Revised Budget, the Housing and
Redevelopment and Community Development Administration Divisions'
expenditures have exceeded the appropriation contained in the
1993 Revised Budget, resulting in the Community Development
Department's total 1993 expenditures to exceed appropriations.
The Housing and Redevelopment (HRD) and Community Development
Administration Divisions' expenditures exceeded budget by $38,170
and $14,409, respectively. The budget overruns resulted from
overestimated interdepartmental labor credits for both divisions.
In 1993, the HRD and Community Development staff allocated their
time between Housing and Redevelopment programs and the 77th
Street Project. It was difficult to forecast the level of
• staffing needed on the various HRA programs and the 77th Street
Project housing acquisitions.
For 1993, the Legal Division expenditures were $87,667 under the
1993 Revised Budget. In 1993, the City incurred less than
anticipated general legal fees and legal fees for ordinance
codification. In addition, there were no legal fees incurred for
special projects.
City staff is recommending that the 1993 Revised Budget be
reallocated between the following departments and divisions:

Council Letter No. 87
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Order project, approve plans and specifications and authorize
advertisement for Madison Park improvements.
Background:
The Council has authorized $500,000 in special revenues for the
funding of 1994 park improvements at Madison Park. Madison Park
is approximately 4.2 acres located in the vicinity of Knox Avenue
and 63rd Street.
Invitations announcing two neighborhood meetings were mailed to
approximately 620 addresses. At the first meeting, held
Saturday, January 15, in the Council Chambers of City Hall,
neighbors provided individual and group comments and designs
which were used by professional site and building architects in
preparation of the park plans and specifications. The neighbors
at the second meeting, held Thursday, January 27, appeared to be
in general agreement with the park plans. However, several
neighbors, some who had attended one or both of the neighborhood
meetings and some who had not attended either meeting, called or
wrote letters to staff following the January 27 meeting to
comment on the proposed plans. As a result, a third neighborhood
• meeting was held Saturday, February 26. At that meeting a vote
of the neighborhood indicated 100% approval of the plan
submitted. On March 8, 1994, the Community Services Commission
reviewed the same plans which were presented to the neighbors.
The Community Services Commission is in unanimous agreement with
the concept plan for Madison Park.
The plan calls for an active area in the southern sector of the
park. This includes a building, play equipment and court game
areas. An informal ballfield area, space for ice skating rinks,
and pathways are also part of the plan. As suggested by the
neighbors at the meeting, the plan does not call for off-street
parking.
Leisure Services Coordinator Gretchen Blank and the architects,
Barry Warner of Barton-Aschman and Associates and Richard Schwarz
Schwarz Architects, will be in attendance to describe the plans
and specifications and to answer questions.
Recommended Motion:
Order City Project 899, approve the plans and specifications and
authorize the advertisement for bids for the Madison Park
redevelopment project.
Basis of Recommendation:
. 1. The Council has determined Madison Park is to be improved as
a project in the adopted 1994 Capital Budget.
/7-I
2. The neighborhood was invited to participate in the design of
the park improvement and those attending the meetings are in
agreement with the plan.
3. Members of the Commission attended the neighborhood meetings.
The Community Services Commission has reviewed and is in
agreement with plans for the park.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not do any Madison Park neighborhood park redevelopment at
this time.
2. Amend the plans for the Madison Park project.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the March 14, 1994 Council meeting.
Action to advertise for bids is requested at this time to allow
construction during 1994.

Background:
The annual •Financial Report for the period ended December 31,
1993, 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 18, 1994.
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 March 14, 1994 City Council meeting.
The attached summary report reflects the performance of the
General Fund, Liquor Fund, Utility Funds, and Recreation Fund.
Recommended Motion:
Receive the unaudited 1993 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 1993 will not be available for
several weeks.
3. The Administrative Services Department has just completed
their financial reporting for 1993.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could request the staff to make a more
detailed presentation of the unaudited 1993 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 1994.

FINANCIAL REPORT SUMMARY - 1993
The following is a summary of fund highlights for the General Fund,
Utility Funds, Recreation Fund and Municipal Liquor Fund. A thorough
audited report will be presented to the City Council as soon as it
becomes available.

The General Fund of the City has a 1993 year-end Fund Balance of
$2,613,293 as compared to $2,504,391 at year-end 1992. Although
municipal court fine revenues were significantly less than
anticipated, revenues from licenses and permits, deputy registrar
fees, and interest earnings were higher than anticipated, resulting in
General Fund revenues which were approximately $50,000 over budget
expectations. In addition, many divisions incurred expenditures
that were less than budgeted. Legal charges incurred in 1993 were
$87,000 lower than budgeted and an annual contribution to the PERA
Police and Fire Fund was not required. This contribution was budgeted
at $96,560 in 1993. The Streets Division incurred less than
• anticipated professional fees, resulting in total division
expenditures which were $71,000 less than budgeted. The General Fund
transferred $97,000 to the HRA to cover airport expenditures and
$50,000 to the Capital Improvement Fund to reimburse a portion of the
acquisition cost of the Lampert Lumber building.
The December 31, 1993 fund balance is designated for working capital
to meet the subsequent year's expenses until property taxes are
collected in July of the next year.

The Water Utility Fund operating revenues were approximately $174,000
less than in 1992 as a result of a decrease in water usage in 1993.
Interest earnings were approximately $56,000 higher than anticipated
as the cash outlay for the water plant expansion was more gradual than
anticipated. Operating expenses decreased compared to 1992, primarily
for utilities, maintenance and repairs, and parts, tools and supplies.
• The Water Utility Fund cash balance decreased from $3.5 million in
1992 to $2.1 million in 1993 due to cash outlay for the water plant
expansion. Transfers included $114,940 transferred to the Capital
Projects Fund for utility work required for the 77th Street Project
and $46,850 transferred from the Richfield Rediscovered Program as
repayment of amounts transferred in prior years.

C.I
L?
At year-end 1992, retained earnings in the Water Fund totalled
$4,884,454. The retained earnings and available cash in the Water
Utility Fund are necessary to support capital improvements and
maintenance of the operation. This cushion greatly reduces the
possibility that the City would be required to issue bonds to make
emergency repairs, upgrades or maintenance in the water utility

The Sanitary Sewer Fund showed a net loss in 1993 of $164,281. This
is approximately $14,000 below the net income of 1992 and $21,000
lower than the 1993 revised budget. The decrease in the net income is
tied directly to the increasing charges of Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission (MWCC). MWCC rates for 1993 were $167,003 greater than
they were in 1992. Rate increases for 1993 and 1994 in the Sanitary
Sewer Fund took into consideration the increases faced by the Fund in
payments to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Transfers
included $27,200 transferred to the Capital Projects Fund for utility
work required for the 77th Street Project and $46,850 transferred from
the Richfield Rediscovered Program as repayment of amounts transferred
in prior years. The cash balance of the Sewer Utility Fund decreased
from $1,905,135 in 1992 to $1,896,144 in 1993.

Revenues for the Storm Sewer Utility Fund in 1993 were at the same
level as in 1992. The increase in exp enses in 1993 re sulted primarily
from increases in interdepartmental labor charges, maintenance and
repairs, professional services, and ut ilities. Storm sewer rates were
not increased for 1994.

The Recreation Fund includes the golf course, ice arena, swimming
pool, and special facilities operations. Special facilities include
the Adventure Garden Miniature Golf, Veteran's Memorial Park rentals
and concessions, Taft Park concessions, and Farmers' Market rentals.
The net income after transfers for the Golf Course and Special
Facilities Funds was $63,525 and $850, respectively. The Special
Facilities Fund was in operation for six months in 1993 and
transferred $20,000 to the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund (PIR)
as repayment for funds used to construct the miniature golf course.
Net losses for the ice arena and swimming pool were $14,765 and
$42,274, respectively. Ice Arena revenues exceeded budget
expectations, however, maintenance and repairs and general supplies
exceeded appropriations. The swimming pool did not transfer funds to
the PIR Fund as a result of the lower than anticipated revenues and
the substantial operating loss.

Year-end revenues for 1993 of $6,843,736 were slightly over 1992
revenues of $6,837,794. Gross margins in 1993 were consistent with
1992 and operating expenses were slightly higher due to increases in
personal services. The cost of insurance coverages decreased in 1993
due to the City initiating a change in insurance carriers. Transfers
include $500,000 transferred to the Special Revenue Fund for Capital
Improvements.
Summary
This financial summary represents the highlights of the overall
financial report for the City of Richfield. Financial reports for all
funds discussed are attached to this letter.
A comprehensive review of the 1993 financial operations will be
presented to the Council once the Auditor's report has been completed.
In general, 1993 was a favorable year for the City's financial
operations. The General Fund performed extremely well due to strong
revenues and the efforts of all divisions to closely monitor
expenditures. The steady increase in charges by the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission for sewer treatment resulted in a 10.4%
increase in sanitary sewer rates for 1994, and Sewer Fund performance
will have to be carefully monitored in setting rates for 1995 and
future years.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 89
Agenda March 14, 1994
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a conditional use permit to allow Tasks
Unlimited to operate a Fairweather Lodge at 6733 Lyndale Avenue.
Background:
Tasks Unlimited proposes to use the single family home at 6733
Lyndale Avenue as residence for five unrelated individuals. The
proposed use does not come within any existing use
classification, therefore, the Council should classify the use or
grant a conditional use permit according to the City Code.
On February 28, 1994, the City Council authorized a hearing
officer to conduct a public hearing, make findings of fact, and
provide a recommendation to the Council by March 14, 1994.
On March 8, 1994, a public hearing was conducted on the matter.
The Hearing Officer's written report dated March 9, 1994 is
attached to this Council Letter for reference.
Recommended Motion:
Approve a conditional use permit for Tasks Unlimited to operate a
Fairweather Lodge at 6733 Lyndale Avenue with the following
stipulations:
1. No more than three vehicles, which are owned or used on a
regular basis by the residents, may be parked in the front
yard area at any given time.
2. No transfer of ownership or operation to any other unlicensed
group home program may occur without City Council approval.
3. No signage, exterior lighting, or other modifications may be
made which will alter the residential character of the home
or adversely impact the neighborhood.
4. The property must comply with all City regulations governing
use of single-family residential property in the R district.
5. The facility on the premises must operate at all times as a
Fairweather Lodge which provides housing support, rather than
a treatment or transitional housing facility.
6. No more than five people may live in the residence.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Hearing Officer's findings of fact, conclusions, and
recommendations indicate that a conditional use permit should
• be granted with six conditions.
q-i
2. The recommended conditions are reasonable and ensure that the
proposed use will be compatible with the surrounding single-
family residential neighborhood. Tasks Unlimited is in
agreement with the proposed conditions.
3. There have been no complaints about the conduct of residents
at any of the eight Fairweather Lodges currently operated by
Tasks Unlimited, some of which have been operating for 24
years.
4. Similar uses in Richfield have not generated adverse impacts
on their neighborhoods.
5. The proposed use meets the standards which govern issuance of
a conditional use permit, as described in Section 545.09 of
the City Code.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could determine that the proposed Fairweather
Lodge is a permitted use in the R district and not subject to
a conditional use permit, thereby, allowing the proposed use
without further action.
2. The Council could determine that the proposed Fairweather
Lodge is a prohibited use in the R district and not subject
to a conditional use permit, thereby, prohibiting the

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
CITY COUNCIL
In the Matter of a
Conditional Use Permit
for Tasks Unlimited
at 6733 Lyndale Avenue
REPORT OF
HEARING OFFICER
A public hearing was held before the undersigned hearing
officer on March 8, 1994, at 7:00 p.m., in the Richfield City
Council Chambers. The hearing was held pursuant to Richfield City
Code §545.09, Subd. 4 and authorization of the Richfield City
Council at its meeting on February 28, 1994. Based on the evidence
presented, I make the following proposed findings, conclusions, and
recommendations:
• FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Tasks Unlimited is an organization which provides housing
support for people with mental disabilities. The organization
proposes to use the single-family home at 6733 Lyndale Avenue as a
residence in its housing program. Up to five unrelated individuals
would reside in the home, which is in a single-family zoning
district.
2. The Richfield zoning code allows single-family dwellings
in the single-family zoning district and defines "family" to
exclude more than three unrelated individuals. Richfield City Code
§505.07, Subd. 16. Under Minnesota Statutes §462.357, Subd. 7, a
licensed residential facility serving six or fewer persons is a
permitted single-family use.
1
Q-3
• 3. The community development director determined that the
proposed use of the subject property does not qualify as a
permitted single-family use under city code or state law
definitions and does not come within any existing use
classification in the zoning code. Pursuant to City Code §505.11,
the director referred the matter to the City Council for a
conditional use permit.
4. At its meeting on February 28, 1994, the Richfield City
Council authorized the undersigned hearing officer to conduct the
public hearing required by Richfield City Code §545.09, Subd. 4,
and to make recommendations to the City Council regarding whether
the permit should be issued and what, if any, conditions should be
imposed.
• 5. City staff sent notices of the hearing to all property
owners within 350 feet of the subject property.
6. Eighteen people spoke at the hearing. Fifteen of these
spoke in support of granting the conditional use permit: two are
City staff members; five are part of the administration of Tasks
Unlimited; two were clients of Tasks Unlimited; two are residents
of Richfield whose children participate in the Tasks Unlimited
housing program; and five are people unaffiliated with the Tasks
Unlimited program (three of which are current Richfield residents
and one grew up in Richfield). Three people who are Richfield
residents asked questions about the program and expressed concerns
about the location.

7. Tasks Unlimited is non-profit organization which has been
9 in existence for 24 years. It provides an employment program and
housing support for mentally disabled adults. Through the housing
support, clients live in small groups in single family dwellings
owned by the agency. Each such dwelling is called a "Fairweather
Lodge." Tasks Unlimited currently operates eight Fairweather
Lodges in other communities: five in Minneapolis and one each in
Bloomington, Fridley, and St. Paul. These are not licensed by the
State of Minnesota because no license is available for this type of
residential program.
8. Tasks Unlimited has a screening process for reviewing
applicants for the housing program. This process includes a
lengthy application to be submitted by the applicants and a review
• of the applicant's history in other programs. Once selected, a
client is unlikely to join a lodge immediately. Generally, a
client is sent to the agency's training facility in Minneapolis for
approximately 4 months. At the training facility, a client is
taught independent living skills, such as cooking and cleaning.
Only 40% of the people successfully complete the training and are
assigned to a lodge. The success rate is low because the program's
standards are high.
9. The purpose of the lodge is to provide a supportive,
family-style living arrangement for the clients. There are no
treatment or vocational assistance programs conducted in the lodge.
The living arrangement is not transitional. Clients stay in the
IF]
3
9-5
same lodge for an average of 4 to 5 years; some stay as long as 20
• years. The lodge is considered their permanent home.
10. The lodge residents are responsible for all normal tasks
in the home, including cooking, cleaning, and maintenance. They
operate interdependently as a single housekeeping unit, making
joint decisions and dividing tasks. No agency staff reside in the
lodge. Agency staff visit to check on the residents two or three
times a week. The staff ensures that maintenance standards are met
and helps resolve problems which might arise.
11. There have been no complaints about the conduct of
residents at any of the Fairweather Lodges in other communities.
None of the residents have ever been arrested while living in the
lodges. In one instance where there had been opposition to the
• siting of a Lodge, there was one complaint about plastic covering
which had been placed over the windows as an interim energy
conservation measure. Otherwise, there have been no complaints
about the maintenance of any of the other Fairweather Lodges.
12. Similar types of residences in the City of Richfield have
also generated no adverse impacts on adjacent residential property.
13. City staff recommended approval of the conditional use
permit and suggested six conditions to be imposed. The executive
director of Tasks Unlimited stated that the agency would have no
difficulty complying with the proposed conditions.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The standards governing the issuance of a conditional use
permit in these circumstances are contained in City Code §545.09,
4
9- to
Subd. 5 and Subd. 6. These are listed below with conclusions for
• each:
a. The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety,
and welfare of the people working or residing in the
neighborhood;
CONCLUSION: The proposed use complies with this standard.
The structure will be used by the same number of people that
could be expected for any other single-family residence. It
will be used for a stable living arrangement, not transitional
housing, rehabilitation, or treatment. The residents will
operate as a single housekeeping unit. Consequently, the
characteristics of the household are functionally equivalent
to a more traditional single-family household unit, and there
will be no adverse impacts on the surrounding residential
neighborhood. This is shown by the fact that Fairweather
Lodges in other cities and similar uses in Richfield have had
no adverse neighborhood impacts. There was no evidence to
substantiate fear about the types of people who will live in
the home, the effect on property values, and potential crime.
Community fear alone is not a legally sufficient reason for
denial of a conditional use permit.
b. The use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
• injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood;
CONCLUSION: The proposed use complies with this standard
for the same reasons noted under the first standard listed
above.
C. The use is in compliance with the comprehensive plan;
CONCLUSION: The proposed use is consistent with the
comprehensive plan's commitment to promoting housing
opportunities for all segments of the population. In
addition, the proposed use complies with the land use
designation for the proposed location in the comprehensive
plan: medium density buffer, which allows single-family to
fourplex dwellings.
d. The use is in compliance with an officially adopted
redevelopment plans and design guidelines; and
CONCLUSION: The proposed location is not in a redevelopment
area, and this standard is not applicable.
e. The use is in compliance with applicable parking
regulations and landscape guidelines.
5
9-1
CONCLUSION: This standard applies to commercial,
industrial, and multi-family uses and thus is also not
applicable.
2. The City Council may impose reasonable conditions in a
conditional use permit. Richfield City Code §545.09, Subd 7.
3. With slight modifications for clarity, the conditions
proposed by City staff are reasonable and ensure that the use will
be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Each
is listed below, followed by a conclusion regarding its
justification:
a. No more than three vehicles, which are owned or used on
a regular basis by the residents, may be parked in the
front yard area at any given time.
JUSTIFICATION: Because all resident will be adults, there is
the potential for each to own and drive a car. This is one
external impact which may be different from a traditional
single-family household unit. If the number of cars parked
A outside exceeds three, the use appears less compatible with
the residential neighborhood. To ensure compatibility, the
impact should be controlled.
b. No transfer of ownership or operation to any other
unlicensed group home program may occur without City
Council approval.
JUSTIFICATION: The characteristics of the use proposed by
Tasks Unlimited make it functionally equivalent to a
traditional single-family use. Another program may operate
with different characteristics which are unlike a family use.
Accordingly, it is reasonable for the Council to review any
other program to ensure compatibility.
C. No signage, exterior lighting, or other modifications may
be made which will alter the residential character of the
home or adversely impact the neighborhood.
JUSTIFICATION: This condition simply ensures that there will
be no external changes making the structure less residential
in appearance.
d. The property must comply with all city regulations
governing use of single-family residential property in
the R district.
6
9-8
JUSTIFICATION: While one might argue that thin condition is
S not needed because the property is already subject to these
regulations, the condition is reasonable as an added incentive
to comply with applicable regulations. By attaching this
condition to the permit, the permit holder risks loss of the
permit in addition to normal consequences for a violation.
e. The facility on the premises must operate at all times-'as
,,Dort,
a Fairweather Lodge which provides housing sup
rather than a treatment or transitional housing fWllity.
JUSTIFICATION: The characteristics of a Fairweather, Lodge are
more like a traditional single-family household unit than
either a treatment or transitional housing use are.
Therefore, it is appropriate to prohibit those uses.
f. No more than five people may live in the residence.
JUSTIFICATION: Limiting the number of individuals ensures that
the size of the household groux: remains consistent with other
housekeeping units in trie neighboring single-family
residences.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Because the proposed use complies with all applicable
city code standards, a conditional use permit should be granted to
Tasks Unlimited for a Fairweather Lodge at 6733 Lyndale Avenue.
2. The conditional use permit to Tasks Unlimited should
include the following conditions, which are reasonable and ensure
that the proposed use will be compatible with the surrounding
single-family residential neighborhood:
a. No more than three vehicles may be parked in the front
yard area at any given time.
b. No transfer of ownership or operation to any other
unlicensed group home program may occur without City
Council approval.
C. No signage, exterior lighting, or other modifications may
be made which will alter the residential character of the
home or adversely impact the neighborhood.
