CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 222
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Resolution adopting the proposed budget and property tax levy for
the year 1993 and setting Truth-in-Taxation hearing dates.
Background:
As required by the Truth-in-Taxation legislation (M.S. 275.065)
each "taxing authority" must certify its proposed property tax
levy for payable year 1993 to the County Auditor on or before
September 15, 1992. "Taxing authority" includes all counties,
all school districts, all cities regardless of population, all
towns and all special taxing districts. No local units of
government are exempted from this requirement.
In addition, each "taxing authority" must certify to their County
Auditor the date that has been selected for the Truth-in-Taxation
hearing by September 15, 1992. The date for this hearing must
not conflict with the hearing dates of the County or of the
school district in which the "taxing authority" is located. This
Truth-in-Taxation public hearing must be held between November 30
and December 21, 1992.
.Pursuant to City Charter a 1992 Revised/1993 Proposed Budget and
• tax levy was presented to the City Council at the September 1,
1992 Special City Council meeting. A presentation of the budget
and discussion occurred at that meeting.
In addition to the 1992 Revised/1993 Proposed Budget and
preliminary property tax levy, City staff is also recommending
dates for this year's Truth-in-Taxation public hearing. It is
recommended that this year's hearing be set for 7:00 p.m.,
Wednesday, December 9, 1992 with a continuation date of 7:00
p.m., Wednesday, December 16, 1992, if necessary. As Council
Members are aware, at that public hearing, the tax levy may be
reduced from the preliminary tax levy, but not increased.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution certifying a proposed property tax
levy and budget for 1993 and setting a public hearing for 7:00
p.m., December 9, 1992 with a continuation date of 7:00 p.m.,
December 16, 1992, if necessary.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Truth-in-Taxation timelines establish the process that must
be followed to adopt a preliminary property tax levy.
September 15 is the deadline for cities to submit a 1992
proposed property tax levy, Proposed 1993 Budget and Truth-
in-Taxation hearing dates to the County Auditor.
2. The recommended dates are available according to the Hennepin
County Auditor.
/3
• 3. The budget and tax levy are ready for consideration.
4. A discussion regarding the budget and tax levy was held on
September 1, 1992.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could adopt either a greater or lesser 1993
preliminary property tax levy, 1992 Revised/1993 Proposed
Budget or select other allowable Truth-in-Taxation hearing
dates.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The September 14, 1992 City Council meeting date is critical in
this process. The Proposed 1993 Levy and Truth-in-Taxation must
be presented to the County Auditors office-on September 15, 1992.
Failure to do so would place the City out of compliance with the
Truth-in-Taxation Statute and would, at minimum, forfeit the
City's tax levy increase over the previous year's levy.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 221
• Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Authorization to proceed with hiring consultant to prepare plans
and specifications for a Water Plant expansion per the revised
1992 Capital Budget.
Background:
The City Council has received the executive summary of a design
concept study and feasibility report for expansion of the Water
Plant; i.e., reconstruction of the accelator(s). The revised
1992 Capital Budget includes $125,000 to begin the design process
and the proposed 1993 Capital Budget covers the remaining
$115,000 design cost. Funding comes from the water utility fund.
The engineering firm of Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc.
(OSM) has been involved with the design and construction of the
City's water system, including the treatment plant, since the
beginning of the utility. OSM is currently under general
agreement with the City. The proposed agreement with OSM for the
water treatment, plant expansion, under terms of the general
agreement, would provide engineering services for the design
report, equipment procurement and detailed design stages of the
project at a cost not to exceed $240,000. This is a very typical
and reasonable cost for such services on the project of this type
and magnitude. For the construction stage of the project, OSM
• would furnish services on an hourly basis.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize a contract, at a cost not to exceed.$240,000, with Orr-
Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc. for engineering services
related to expansion of the water treatment plant, such services
to include, among other things, design report, prequalification
of clarifier' vendors, equipment.procurement and detailed design.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The next major piece of the water utility system to be
considered for renovation is the accelator. The accelator is
.the large tank which performs the softening process.
2. The Community Services Commission recommends renovating the
Water Plant.
3. In recent years the long range capital improvement program
has included an item to expand the Water Plant. The project
is included in the revised 1992 Capital Budget and the
proposed 1993 Capital Budget which are being considered as
part of the current budget process.
4. The Water Plant expansion study estimates a cost of $3
million to construct two "side by side" softening units,
is using the existing space, to provide 20 million gallons of
water per day. The proposed contract for engineering
services is reasonable based on a project of this size.
/a-/
5. Beginning the design of the project now will allow bids to be
received the summer of 1993 with construction completed in
1994.
6. There is sufficient funding for the engineering agreement.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not expand the Water Plant. However, the City's water
system includes only one accelator. The accelator pumps
about four to five million gallons of water per day (mgd)
during the winter.. The peak pumping in the summer has been
15 mgd. Richfield has been fortunate that the only time the
accelator has been out of operation in the 30 years of
existence was for a six week period when it was painted.
2. Expand the Water Plant in a different configuration; i.e.,
convert the existing accelator space to hold two units and
build a new unit in an expansion of the building for a
pumping capacity of 20 million gallons per day. The
advantage of this alternative is that the plant could supply
soft water throughout construction. The recommended
alternative requires that hard water be pumped for 60-90 days
during construction. However, this method of expansion would
cost an estimated $5.46 million and the engineering and other
related costs would be higher than for the method proposed.
. Discussion/Decision Mode:
The Council may delay action but such a delay should be for only
a short time if the project is to be completed with the least
inconvenience to the residents. In order to begin work in a
timely manner, Council approval is requested at the September 14
Council meeting.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 220
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Award of contract for construction and installation of a
miniature golf course at Veterans Memorial Park of Richfield.
Background:
The Capital Budget includes a miniature golf course at Veterans
Memorial Park of Richfield.
On September 2, 1992, bids were received for the miniature golf
course at Veterans Memorial Park of Richfield. Proposals
included a base bid and six add alternates. The plans were
modified from the previous bid request to eliminate sidewalks
around greens, reduce some of the water features, eliminate the
bridges, and use pre-formed holes which are made with insulating
foam and clad with concrete. This significantly reduces job time
in fine grading,_.forming and pouring concrete. The holes are
factory made and set into place on the site.
Seven set's of plans and specifications were requested from
various contractors.
? The base bid was for the simplified course as outlined
above.
? Alternate #1 moves hole #6 and adds a

? Alternate #4 replaces a wood retaining wall with rockwork at
hole #17.
? Alternate #5 replaces a wood retaining wall with rockwork at
hole #3.
? Alternate #6 adds 4 foot high fencing around the perimeter
of the course.
40
Three bids were received. A copy of the bid minutes/tabulation
is attached. Two contractors submitted identical low base bids.
Staff has checked references of both bidders, and both have
received favorable recommendations. However, references have
recommended that the bidder with the most water feature
experience-is more important as that tends to be the most
difficult portion of the project. Olympic Pools, Inc. has had
years of experience with installation of pools and fountains,
including installing the rockwork pools, and water features at
the miniature golf course at Valleyfair. Council should
understand that there is always the chance that the award may be
challenged.
Staff is recommending accepting the first five alternates at this
time. All the recommended alternates add to the ambiance and
experience of the water and landscaping theme of the course.
Alternate #1 can only be included at the time of construction
since it involves realigning hole #6 to allow for the additional
ponding and waterfall. Alternate #2 could be added later only if
Alternate #1 is completed with the original project. Alternates
#3, #4, and #5 could all be added at a later date, although at a
considerably higher expense. Alternate #6 can be added by City
crews at a later date for less money than bid. The total of
these alternates will increase the total project cost from
$325,000 to $350,000. Staff believes this would provide for the
best course for the City and public, and would not significantly
increase the repayment of the construction loan.
Should Council choose to award fewer add alternates, staff would
next recommend Alternates #1 and #2. These two have the most
impact on the course and would be the most difficult to add at a
later date. This also would clarify the low bidder and reduce
cause for challenge by other bidders. Adding any alternate would
clarify the low bidder.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes/tab

Basis of Recommendation:
1. Olympic Pools, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid.
2. The recommended alternates will provide for the best course
for the City and the public.
3. The increased loan costs can be repaid by course revenues.
4. On September 8, 1992, the Community Services Advisory
Commission uanimously recommended accepting the base bid and
Alternates #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5 for a total contract award
of $243,300 and a total project cost of $350,000.
5. The PIR and Cable Funds have sufficient capital to support
this loan. The loan will be repaid at market interest rates.
Alternative Recommendation: .
1. Do not award any contract for the construction and
installation of a miniature golf course.
2. Award the contract to Olympic Pools, Inc. in the amount of
$231,900 for the base bid and Alternates #1 and #2, which

Council Letter No. 219
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Consideration to approve South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency
1992-1993 work plan.
Background:
Attached is the South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency (SHeRPA)
1992-1993 work plan. This is the first work plan developed by
the newly formed SHeRPA. The goal of the work plan is to provide
four cities with baseline information with which decision makers
can determine human service priorities and future research and
planning needs. This goal was established by the City Managers,
who are the Board of Directors for SHeRPA, and the SHeRPA
Advisory Commission in January.
To meet this goal, two primary research projects were identified.
The first project is impact of demographic, social and economic
trends on human service needs. The second is a study of trends
in provision of human services in the South Hennepin region.
Other significant issues to be addressed by. SHeRPA include
increase awareness and accessibility to available services,
• identify issues of diversity and programs to respond to
diversity, develop prevention programs, promote community support
system and a sense of community responsibility, and implement
programs for low income families and individuals. These issues
will be carried forward and priorities for next year's work plan.
The work plan also proposes the establishment of a child care
research group to review trend data as it relates to child care
needs in the South Hennepin region and to make recommendations
for further research and planning.
Other ongoing SHeRPA activities include:
? Community service priorities report to Hennepin County.
? The annual planning process which determines research and
planning priorities for SHeRPA.
? The South Hennepin Mental Advisory Committee.
? The coordination of Hennepin County Emergency Services
Program in South Hennepin.
In order to make sure that this work plan meets the needs of the
City, it is appropriate for the City Council to review the work
• plan.
to-I
Recommended Motion:
IS Approve the South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency work plan
proposal for 1992-1993.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The work plan reflects the direction provided by the City's
Human Service Planning Council.
2. The City's Human Service Planning Council has met with the
City Council to receive input for the work plan.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may make other recommendations regarding
priorities which they would like to see considered in the
work plan.

INTRODUCTION
The South Hennepin Regional Planning Agency for Human Services (SHeRPA) is a joint
powers organization serving the communities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina and
Richfield. Our mission is to assist these communities in identifying and meeting their human
service needs through research, planning and coordination. The South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency is the new name of the former, South Hennepin Human Services Council,
which was reorganized in 1991. The purpose of the reorganization was to strengthen the
agency's functions of research, planning and coordination and move away from providing direct
services.
The present proposal is the first work plan of the newly formed SHeRPA. Its goal is to provide
the four cities with baseline information with which decision-makers can determine human
service priorities and future research and planning needs. This goal was determined by the City
Managers (board of directors) and SHeRPA's Advisory Commission in January of this year at an
annual planning meeting. To meet this goal, two primary research projects were identified as
planning priorities for 1992. The first is a study of the impact of demographic, social and
economic trends on human service needs in the region. The second is a study of trends in the
provision of human services in the South Hennepin region.
The City Managers and members of the Advisory Commission also identified a number of other
significant issues to be addressed by SHeRPA. In order of importance, additional priorities
included the following: 1) increase awareness of and accessibility to available services; 2)
identify issues of diversity and programs to respond to diversity; 3) develop prevention
programs; 4) promote community support systems and a sense of community responsibility; and
5) implement programs for low income individuals and families. These issues will be carried
forward for consideration as priorities in next year's work plan.
The work plan also proposes the establishment of a Child Care Research Group to review the
trend data as they relate to child care needs in the South Hennepin region, and to make
recommendations for further research and planning.
In addition to the project-based priorities identified above; SHeRPA has ongoing activities.
These include the Community Services Priorities (CSSA) report for Hennepin County, the
annual planning process which determines the research and planning priorities of SHeRPA, the
South Hennepin Mental Health Advisory Committee, and the coordination of the Hennepin
County Emergency Services program in South Hennepin.
The present proposal is submitted as a 1992 and 1993 work plan. It outlines activities for the
first half of 1993 and thus will need to be amended in 1993 as new priorities are recommended.
• SHeRPA may also contract with any of the four cities for additional research and planning
projects. These projects may arise at anytime throughout the year and would be financed with
supplemental funds by the city (or cities) contracting for the service.

OUTLINE OF RESEARCH PROJECTS
Research And Planning Goal For 1992 & 1993:
To obtain baseline information which will help city decision-makers determine human service
priorities and future research and planning needs.
Research Project I
Study Of Demographic, Economic And Social Trends
Completion date: May, 1993
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of demographic, economic and social trends
on human service needs in South Hennepin. The study will serve as a comprehensive reference
document for information users, as a tool to develop human service policy goals, and as a means
to determine where to focus future planning efforts.
Data and Methodology:
• The information collected for this study will include demographic, housing, economic, health,
education, crime, and social service program data. The U.S. Bureau of Census will provide the
base data for the study. Additional information will be gathered from secondary sources
including governmental and planning organizations, school districts, research reports and social
service providers. The methodology of analysis will consist of two steps.
The first step will be to document demographic, economic and social trends in the region. The
following trend areas will be analyzed:
• population
• age composition
• racial and ethnic composition
• employment
• immigration
• income and poverty
• housing mix and affordability
• household and family size, structure and composition
• education levels
• commuting patterns
• persons with disabilities
• public assistance
• domestic violence
. • public safety issues
• teenage pregnancy
• mental and chemical health
5
/C)-R
• These trends will be analyzed statistically and geographically. The statistical analysis will
provide a numerical description of the data and employ simple measurements of frequency,
mean and median, percentage change, and cross tabulation. The analysis will identify changes in
the above list of variables over time, the relationships among the variables and the changes in
these relationships over time. What these trends might look like over the next 10 to 20 years
will also be assessed.
Once the trends are identified statistically, their spatial distribution will be displayed and
analyzed with the aid of mapping software. Various maps will be constructed and overlaid to
assess different trends occurring simultaneously.
The second step will be to estimate the human service needs impacted by these trends. This
section will evolve around three questions: 1) What need areas are impacted by changes in the
demographic, economic and social makeup in the region? 2) What changes will occur in the
level and nature of the impacted needs? 3) What shifts in the demand for services and programs
will occur as a result of these changes?
The need areas that will be assessed include education and training, employment, transportation,
economic assistance for basic needs, physical disabilities, services for seniors, services and
programs for youth and families, low- and moderate-income housing; early childhood care and
education, school-aged child care, public safety, and mental and chemical health services.
Geographic Unit Of Analysis: The geographic unit of analysis will be the municipality.
Depending on their availability, data will be assessed at the block, census tract or city level for
each municipality.
Research Product: The findings of the study will be specific to each city in South Hennepin.
Five reports will be prepared, one of each city and a summary of the region.

Research Project II
Study Of Trends In The Delivery & Provision Of Human Services
Completion date: May, 1993
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to assess the resources available to meet human
service-needs in the South Hennepin region; and secondly, to identify trends in the use of and
demand for human services. More specifically, this study will attempt to identify and assess the
following:
• the existing agencies that provide human services to the residents of South Hennepin;
• the level and nature of services available in the region;
• the availability of services with respect to affordability, physical accessibility and
hours of service;
is • changes in the use of and demand for the various human services over time;
• changes in client profiles (age, race, income, sex, etc.);
• changes in programming in response to changes in demand for new services;
• changes in funding sources and levels among providing organizations as a means to gain an
understanding of stability of services and how their provision is being determined;
• where general service gaps exist (this can be done when combining the results of the survey
with the need areas identified in project I);
• the working relationships among the various providing organizations as a means to better
understand how and among whom cooperative and collaborative efforts can be coordinated;
• public policies that have significantly influenced the delivery and provision of human services
in the past 10 years.
Data and Methodology:
The primary method used to collect the above information will be a survey among human
service providers. The survey will be complemented with secondary sources of information,
including service directories, United Way, policy documents, and related research. The survey
will be administered to the majority of providers in the South Hennepin region and a random
7
/0 _ /0
selection of providers in the surrounding communities. The survey instrument and approach will
be customized for the different types of providers.
For the purposes of this study, a provider is any organization that delivers a service or contracts
for a service to be delivered. Therefore the list of potential organizations to be surveyed
includes non- and for-profit human service agencies, religious institutions, schools,
municipalities and other governmental organizations (i.e., Hennepin County). Computer
statistics, graphics and mapping programs will be used to analyze the data. Matched with data
resulting from the study of demographic and economic trends, the relationship between the
location of services and where people live who need those services can be assessed.
Geographic Unit Of Analysis: The geographic unit of analysis will be the South Hennepin
region. Service resources located outside of the South Hennepin region, but offering services
to its residents, will also be identified and assessed
Research Product: This study will result in one report for the region and include a map of the
distribution of services in the area.
Summary of Research Projects
The two proposed studies will identify the important demographic, economic and social trends in
• the region; the human service needs impacted by these trends, and the resources available to
meet human service needs. The studies will provide a statistical and geographical profile of
these trends and resources, which will serve as a reference document for a diverse set of
information users in the region. The studies will also help public policymakers to identify where
monetary resources should be targeted and policy efforts focused for human services in South
Hennepin:

PROPOSAL FOR A CHILD CARE STUDY GROUP
The issue of child care in South Hennepin has been evolving for a number of years,
particularly early childhood care and education. Studies by the Greater Minneapolis Day Care
Association and qualitative data demonstrate that there is a gap in the availability of
affordable and quality child care, especially for low-income families. In 1991, through a
series of nine focus groups exploring issues of work and poverty, participants indicated that
the cost of child care was one of the most serious barriers to finding and maintaining an
adequately paying job or job training. High costs make quality. child care inaccessible for
low- and moderate-income families. On average, full-day child care costs $4000 per child per
year. For low- and moderate-income families the cost of child care is prohibitive. For this
reason, affordable child care is a primary concern for single-parent families, who represented
18% of all households with children in South Hennepin in 1990.
Despite the apparent need for affordable child care services, much is not known about the
"specifics". We do know that most parents prefer to leave their child with a relative when
they return to work, but only about half of working parents are able to utilize this
arrangement. We do not know how many families need what type of care, for what age
groups of children, during what hours, etc. For this reason, the adequate establishment of
• policy alternatives and the resulting development of child care programs are difficult.
The proposed demographic and economic trends study can provide a baseline of information
on child care needs. More specific needs, however, can only be assessed though a survey of
families in need of child care. The priorities for the 1992-1993 work plan proposal are to
provide baseline information from which future research and planning efforts can be
formulated. Specific research on a targeted need, such as child care, will not be conducted.
A Child Care Study Group:
Throughout the transitional period of 1990-1991, the South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency was a participant in the Suburban Hennepin Head Start Access Task Force and local
efforts which explored collaborative partnerships to meet early childhood education and care
needs. The purpose of a child care study group will be to maintain a research focus of the
issue of child care. It will have the following responsibilities:
review and respond to studies produced by SHeRPA as they relate to child care;
determine the types of future studies that need to be undertaken to better identify the
specific child care needs in South Hennepin; and
explore strategies to address child care needs once information is available to act on.
Composition and staffing: The study group would consist of approximately 12 people,
• selected from the Citizen Advisory Commission, the schools, business, consumers, providers,
and the religious community. The study group would be chaired by a representative from the
Advisory Commission. SHeRPA staff would be responsible for attending meetings and
presenting information as it becomes available through the proposed research.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES ACT (CSSA)
Citizen participation is an important contribution to the work of South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency. Through forums, focus groups, round table discussions and other means,
the Agency seeks to gain input on human service issues. Citizens also play a direct
participatory role in planning and coordinating human services. The Regional Citizens'.
Advisory Commission of SHeRPA serves as a representative body of citizens in the South
Hennepin region. This group acts as a key link to people with human service needs in the
region.
Each year, through the efforts of the Advisory Commission, the South Hennepin Regional
Planning Agency gains input from users, providers and other concerned citizens, on needs
ranging from mental and chemical health to domestic abuse. Diagram 2 illustrates the
citizen participation process used to determine citizens' priorities with respect to community
service needs in South Hennepin. The Advisory Commission synthesizes the various input
• gathered through the focus groups, forums, surveys and other forms, and prepares a set of
priority community service needs in the region.
Based on this information, a report titled "Community Service Priorities" is prepared and
presented to Hennepin County Community Services Division staff in March and, when
appropriate, to Hennepin County Commissioners in October. Hennepin County policy
makers and staff use the information to prioritize the appropriation of community service
dollars.
The following citizen participation process is proposed for 1992 and 1993:
I. Designate liaisons from the Advisory Commission to act as links to the human
service target populations as defined by Hennepin County.
II. Establish a citizen participation review committee from the Advisory Commission.
III. Plan, coordinate and conduct citizen input activities.
IV. Synthesize and prioritize the citizens' input. This is undertaken by the citizen
participation review committee.
V. Prepare 1994 Community Services Priorities report based on citizen's input.
0 VI. Present report to Hennepin County Community Services staff in March, 1993.

SOUTH HENNEPIN
EMERGENCY SERVICES PROGRAM
Hennepin County Community Services contracts with the South Hennepin Regional Planning
Agency to coordinate an emergency services program in the region. Hennepin County funds
the administration of the program and provides the direct service dollars. SHeRPA serves as
the fiscal agent and overall coordinator of the program. We provide over $57,000 in direct
service dollars to four emergency services providers in the region. These providers are
Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People (VEAP) and Cornerstone Advocacy Services (CAS) in
Bloomington; People Reaching Out to People (PROP) in Eden Prairie; and Colonial Church
in Edina. The police departments of the four cities provide service in the case of an
emergency after 5:00 p.m. and on the weekends. SHeRPA is responsible for the following
activities:
• administer funds and paper work;
• coordinate in-service meetings;
• maintain records and client data; and
• prepare quarterly and annual reports.
The program assists approximately 1000 individuals and families a year. There is, however,
always a greater demand for financial assistance than there is money and many people are
turned away from the program. The program is a very effective means to monitor the basic
needs of people in the South Hennepin Region.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
• Council Letter No. 218
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution which approves a purchase agreement
between the City of Richfield and Mr. Ed Bergquist, Trustee for
Lampert Lumber, for the property at 300 West 78th Street and
authorizes purchase.
Background:
In December 1989, the Lampert Lumber property was listed for
sale. The Lampert Lumber Company was reorganizing and closing
some of its operations. The site in Richfield was closed.
With the approval of the 77th Street project, it was desirable to
examine the potential need of the City for this property. While
a site is not yet available to which the entire City garage
operation can be relocated, an interim site is needed for some of
the garage operations displaced by 77th Street (the 77th Street
project will bisect the site). The operations which may be
relocated include equipment and materials storage. A second
function for a portion of the site may be as a staging area for
the 77th Street construction contractor. As a long term use,
this would not be appropriate under the C-3 zoning; however, it
is appropriate on an interim basis in order to build the
• infrastructure necessary to redevelop the ILN and, at the same
time, hold the property for redevelopment.
The proposed purchase price for this 2.9 acre site is $450,000 or
$3.51 per square foot. The initial asking price in 1989 was $1.1
million or $8.85 per square foot. An appraisal undertaken by the
City in May indicated the property was worth $755,000 or $5.90
per square foot. The assessor has valued the property for 1992
taxes at approximately $700,000.
Recently, Lampert Lumber filed bankruptcy. The trustee set an
asking price of $450,000 or $3.51 per square foot. Initially the
City offered $385,000 or $3.00 per square foot. That offer was
rejected. An offer of $450,000 was then tendered. The Trustee
has accepted the offer subject to the approval of the bankruptcy
court. The approval is expected by September 15. The City
Council must also approve the agreement.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution to be effective following a finding
by the Planning Commission as to the conformance of the proposed
purchase with the Comprehensive Plan which:
1. Approves the purchase agreement, and
2. Authorizes the Mayor and City Manager to execute documents
related to purchase should the terms of the agreement be met
following a finding by the Planning Commission as to the
conformance of the purchase with the Comprehensive Plan.
q'i
•
•
3. Authorize payment from the City's Capital Projects Fund.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The site is available at a very reasonable cost.
2. It would provide a needed nearby interim site for some City
garage functions.
3. Both the State and Federal Government rejected purchasing
the entire property with 77th Street project funds.
4. Funds are available in the City's Capital Projects Fund
(current balance $2.5 million).
5. The HRA obligations in the ILN can continue to be met with
the purchase of this property and resulting tax exempt
status.
6. The agreement provides the City with an opportunity to
determine whether or not hazardous substances exist on the
site prior to purchase. The seller bears the cost to
correct any problems or may rescind the proposed sale if
costs are too high.
7. To help maintain compliance with the zoning ordinance, the
City will utilize the existing buildings to house the interim
garage operations to the extent practicable. While there may
be some expenses to utilize the buildings, they would be off-
set by revenue from the 77th Street project. The project
will purchase a strip of land from the site for widening the
street.
8. The City will be able to sell the site for redevelopment
in the future.
9. The Planning Commission will meet on September 22, 1992. The
request of the Council for a finding will be on the agenda.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Delay action.
2. Reject the proposal.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A decision would permit this purchase to proceed and planning for
City garage operation relocation.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No.217'
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading on the rezoning of property at
521 West 64th Street from R-Residential to C-2; and consideration
of an amended off-street parking permit to allow expanded parking
for Woodlake Plaza Shopping Center.
Background:
Investors Savings Bank, owner of Woodlake Plaza Shopping Center,
is requesting the rezoning of property at 521 West 64th Street
from R to C-2. The existing home would be demolished and a
parking lot would be constructed on the site. The proposal would
increase Woodlake Plaza's parking capacity from 78 to 103.
Woodlake Plaza does not currently meet City parking standards,
which dictate that 99 spaces should be provided based on the
gross floor area of the Center.
The application states that the rezoning and off-street parking
amendment will improve the viability and vitality of Woodlake
Plaza by attracting a more compatible tenant mix. The rezoning
would also improve site appearance and overall presentation of
Woodlake Plaza to the neighborhood and the City. The proposal
does not include any alterations to the existing shopping center.
• The new parking area would be screened and buffered from the.
adjacent residences and 64th Street through a combination of
fencing and plant materials. In addition, the proposal includes
new fencing and landscaping of the existing parking lot along
64th Street.
Some adjacent property owners attended the Planning Commission's
review of the rezoning to voice concerns about traffic volume and
speeding on 64th Street. These residents stated they are
planning to submit a proposal in the future which would close off
64th Street east of Lyndale Avenue.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached ordinance amendment approving a rezoning of
521 West 64th Street; and approve the amended off-street parking
permit and site plan for Woodlake Plaza with the following
stipulations:
1. That a cash escrow agreement be submitted for all required
landscape improvements.
2. That the property owner be responsible for the maintenance
of the fence and landscaping.
3. That when the new parking area is paved, it be contoured to
• conduct flow to catch basin "B".
3,1
Basis of Recommendation :
. 1. The expanded parking would bring Woodlake Plaza into
conformity with City parking standards.
2. The expanded parking would alleviate some of the traffic
circulation problems now present in this area of the City.
3. The proposed site improvements would comply with City
engineering and landscape requirements.
4. The proposed buffering and screening would minimize the
impact of the Center on adjacent properties, while improving
the overall appearance of the neighborhood.
5. Approval of the request would not constitute a spot zone
because contiguous parcels are presently zoned C-2.
6. On July 28, 1992, the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the proposal with a stipulation that
lighting issues be resolved. On August 12, 1992, the
lighting issues were resolved through mediation. A copy of
the mediation agreement is attached for review.
7. The alley which runs behind Woodlake Plaza was vacated in
.1982.
• 8. The Fire Marshal has reviewed and approved the fire lane
plan. The revised layout improves access.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could deny the rezoning and off-street parking
permit with a finding of fact that the proposal would have an
adverse impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on
Monday, September 14, 1992. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.
Notice of hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to
property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.

Subject: Traffic Enforcement Special Assignment - 64th St, Lyndale to Pleasant
At your direction, acting on complaints received by Acting Manager Steve Devich
from residents, a special assignment was initiated on 8/11/92. It was reported
that traffic was speeding on W. 64th Street, between Lyndale and Pleasant
Avenues. A total of 504 minutes were spent by various officers working both A
and B shifts monitoring speeds along W. 64th Street. The following are the
results of the assignment:
No citations were issued, and only one written warning was issued during the
assignment. The following comments were logged by officers working this
• assignment-
• There was almost no traffic coming through this area at all.
• Two cars in 15 minutes, both well under limit.
• No traffic.
• Only one vehicle seen.
• No vehicles seen.
• Nine cars seen, fastest speed was 38 m.p.h.
• Five vehicles, 3 eastbound, 2 westbound.
• Two cars observed, both within speed limit.
• Eleven vehicles, max. speed 31, all but two vehicles going to or from garage
sales in the 6300 block of Harriet.
• Six vehicles, max. speed 29 m.p.h.
• Two cars, two bikes.
• No cars over 29 m.p.h.
It appears that either there is no significant speeding problem in this area, or that
the enhanced presence of police has slowed down traffic in that area. The
records of this assignment are available from my office.

Council Letter No.216
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Consideration of an application for a renewal of a residential
kennel license for Tony Neubauer, 6401 22nd Avenue.
Background:
On August 28, 1992, Tony Neubauer submitted an application for a
residential kennel license. He owns three dogs. Mr. Neubauer's
application had all contiguous property owners' signatures on it.
On August 30, 1992, an inspection of the property was conducted
by a Community Service Officer. There were no apparent problems
found at that time.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the application for a residential kennel
license be approved.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. It is up to the animal owner to prove that the keeping
of more than two dogs does not have an adverse effect
on the neighborhood. Mr. Neubauer has been able to do
this.
• Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to deny Mr. Neubauer's residential
kennel license. This would mean that he would have to
reduce the number of dogs he has from three to two.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Recommendation to approve the application for a residential
kennel license for Tony Neubauer, 6401 22nd Avenue, is presented
for Council consideration at this time.

Issue Statement:
Application for a community celebration event license with a
request for a fee waiver for events scheduled to take place on
September 19 and 20, 1992.
Background:
This year Visions 2004 has applied for a celebration event
license and requests that the fee be waived for the activities
that take place in Veterans Memorial Park on September 19 and 20,
1992.
The committee has contacted food sanitarians from the City of
Bloomington to ensure that proper food handling practices are
followed. They will work with Bloomington sanitarians and follow
their recommendations for safe and wholesome food handling.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends the approval of a community celebration event
license for the Richfield Cattail Days to be held on September 19
and 20, 1992.
Basis for Recommendation:
• 1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of the
City application process and meets requirements for the fee
to be waived.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide not to grant the license. This
would result in the applicant not being able to conduct
activities, especially those concerning food preparation, on
September 19 and 20, 1992.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Consideration of the request for the issuance and fee waiver of a
community celebration event license for September 19 and 20, 1992

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No.214
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement: .
Award of contract for joint cleaning and resealing.
Background:
Cleaning debris from joints in concrete streets and alleys
removes inflexible material that can cause the joint to erupt
during times of expansion. After cleaning, the joints are
resealed with material that expands and contracts with the
pavement surface. This also will reduce water intrusion into the
pavement base, which weakens the street surface.
76th Street between 10th and 12th Avenues and nine allleys are
scheduled for work.
Bids were opened August 28, 1992 from three contractors for the
1992 joint cleaning and resealing project with the following
results:
Progressive Contractors, Inc. $41,542.00
Division 7 Corporation 54,697.45*
Arcon Construction 66,971.00
*Corrected amount; original $56,197.45 calculation was in error
The Street Maintenance budget contains $46,100 for concrete joint
cleaning and resealing. This 'includes both the contractor and
City labor costs. In addition, $10,000 is the estimate for alley
joint cleaning and resealing in 1992.
The contracts are based upon estimated quantities. Payments will
be made on actual work performed. Council would be authorizing
contracts at the stated amounts, with the stipulation that the
contract documents allow variances.
In 1990, $54,389.43 was spent on this type of work. In 1991,
$51,562.35 was spent.
Recommended Motion:
Accept the bid minutes/tabulation and award a contract for the
1992 joint cleaning and resealing project to Progressive
Contractors, Inc. in the sum of $41,542.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The bid from Progressive Contractors, Inc. is the lowest
responsible bid.
2. Progressive Contractors, Inc. is a well-known and reputable
company that has previously worked for the City.
3. The work is included in the 1992 budget.
'7F- I
• Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may choose to reject all the bids and direct
staff to obtain new quotations. However, the bids obtained are
reasonable, and staff does not believe a better price from a
reputable contractor could be obtained.
Discussion/Decision Mode :
Council may choose to delay award of this contract. However, the
contract documents allow the bidders to withdraw their bids after
60 days of the bid opening and an extended delay could result in
the loss of construction season. Therefore, staff is asking for
approval at the September 14, 1992 Council meeting.

Council Letter No.213
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Request for a one year extension to the setback variance for King
Oscar's Restaurant, 1120 East 66th Street.
Background:
On September 23, 1991, the Richfield Hearing Examiner granted a
variance to King Oscar's to allow construction of an eight foot
by 44 foot addition on the east side of the restaurant. The
addition would house a refrigeration unit and garbage enclosure.
The variance permitted a 27.4 foot setback from the east property
line where 40 feet is the requirement..
The improvements will bring the restaurant into compliance with
City health code requirements. The addition would be of similar
materials and design to that of the existing restaurant.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the request for a one year extension of the setback
variance for King Oscar's restaurant, 1120 East 66th Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. There are no changes in the proposed plans from that
• originally approved by the Hearing Examiner.
2. Extensions have been routinely granted to petitioners
when there are no changes in the proposal.
3. If extended, the variance would expire on September
23, 1993, unless the addition is completed by that time.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the variance extension if the circumstances of the variance
have changed.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Consideration of this item is scheduled on the consent calendar
of the September 14, 1992 City Council meeting.

on September 17,1991.
We are scheduled to begin this construction during the month of October

Variance Request
CASE NO. 91-V-7
APPLICANT: King Oscar's Restaurant, Curtis Carr
PROPERTY LOCATION : 1120 East 66th Street
HEARING EXAMINER: Vern Luettinger
HEARING DATE: September 17, 1991
APPEARANCES: Curtis Carr, Earl Kinley, and Janet Holman
Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, the undersigned
makes the following findings of fact, conclusions, and decisions.
A. FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Notice of public hearing was proper. Notice was
published in the Sun-Current and mailed to property
owners within 350 feet of the site as required by
City Ordinance. The ten day notice requirement was
also met.
2. The street address and legal description of the property
in question are as follows: 1120 East 66th Street
Block 2, Lot 8, Eliason Fourth Addition.
3. The zoning of the site in question is C-2 general
commercial.
4. The variance requested is to allow a 27.4 foot setback
from the street, where the minimum required setback is 40
feet.
5. The reason for the request is to allow the construction
of an eight foot by 44 foot addition to house a
refrigeration unit and a garbage enclosure.
B. DETERMINATIONS:
Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, subdivision 6, provides
for the granting of variance to the literal provisions of the
zoning regulations in instances where their strict
enforcement would cause undue hardship to the owners of the
property under consideration. In determining whether to
grant or deny the requested variance, I specifically make the
following conclusions:

ordinance cause undue hardship,

I conclude: There is an undue hardship. The Health
Department has issued orders to correct code deficiencies.
With the approval of this variance, King Oscar's Restaurant
will be in compliance of our safety code.
2. Are there unique circumstances or unusual conditions
affecting the property or building which are not created by
the land owner?
I conclude: Yes. The lot size and configuration along with
the location of the kitchen within the building makes the
proposed site the only suitable location for the addition.

3. Will the granting of the variance alter the essential

I conclude: There would be no change to the character of the
neighborhood or locality. It would be an improvement.

granting of the variance to ensure compliance and to protect
adjacent properties? (If yes, specify stipulations under

Council Letter No. 212
Agenda September 14, 1992
Issue Statement:
Resolution approving bylaws of the Richfield Fire Department
Relief Association.
Background:
The purpose of the bylaws of the Richfield Fire Department Relief
Association is to provide for rules governing service and
disability pensions for its.members and their survivors.
Periodically, these rules are reviewed, amended and submitted for
approval by a vote at the annual general membership meeting which
is held each April. Bylaw changes which result in increased cost
of funding the Pension Fund must be approved by the City Council
prior to their becoming effective.
Presently, there are seven active members in the Richfield Fire
Department Relief Association. In addition, thirty-one retirees
and survivors are currently receiving benefits. The Fund is
closed and must be fully funded by the year 2010 according to
State law. The assets of the Fund currently total over $6.6
million with unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities of about $3.6
million for a 64.7% funding ration.
is Existing bylaws contain some dated language which has been
modified by recent State legislation. One such change involves
the distribution of marital property upon marriage dissolution
and the other is the payment of pensions of widows who
subsequently remarry. Prior to these most recent State statute
changes, assignment of pension payments such as garnishment was
not allowed and only one benefit check could be issued each
month.
Under the new law in divorce settlements, it is now possible for
the ex-spouses each to receive checks for a portion of the
benefit, if so ordered by the court. Similarly under past law,
if a widow remarried she forfeited survivor benefits. In
essence, the Fund saved money because the actuarial calculations
to the Fund were based upon the assumption that no widow ever
remarried and forfeited pension benefits. The new State law
changes this prohibition and removes the restrictions on the
private lives of individuals.
Articles XIII, XVII and XIX of the Richfield Fire Department
Relief Association Bylaws were appropriately amended. They are
attached for review. None of these amendments increase any cost
to the Fund. All changes are for clarification and are needed
for the Relief Association bylaws to coincide with State statutes
governing pensions.
,7D -- /
Recommended Motion:
. 1. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution approving the amended bylaws of the Richfield
Fire Department Relief Association.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could fail to approve the bylaw amendments.
However, the bylaws have been voted upon and approved by a
majority of the membership and failure to pass these
amendments would place the Association's bylaws in violation
of the new Minnesota statutes on pensions.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is recommended that the
amendments-at the September
allow the bylaws to become
City Council approve the bylaw

Re: Remarriage of Surviving Spouse
Dear Mr. Sutter:
As requested, we have reviewed the financial impact on your relief association
of allowing surviving spouses to remarry and continue receiving benefits. The
effect of paying future benefits to present remarried surviving spouses, if any,
would, be to increase the actuarial accrued liabilities and amortization payment.
As future surviving spouses become eligible, it is presently, assumed that they
will be eligible to receive benefits for life (without regard to remarriage).
Accordingly, the computed contribution amounts for present active and retired
members would not be affected by the elimination of the remarriage provision.
However, there could possibly be some reduction in future actuarial gains that
would occur as the result of a future remarriage under the present provisions.

Issue Statement:
Resolution levying a special assessment for nuisance abatement.
Background:.
There is a•resolution on the September 14, 1992, City Council
agenda certifying a special assessment for nuisance abatement to
Hennepin County. This assessment is for costs incurred by the City
in connection with abatement for nuisances on certain properties in
the City which are not properly maintained by their owners. In
each case, the owner of the subject property was notified by the
City to.correct the nuisance and failed to do so within a timely
limit. Property owners were notified that if the nuisance was not
abated within the proper time limit, the City would take the
corrective action necessary and bill the property owner. When the
cost of the nuisance abatement provided by the City is not paid by
the property owner, it can be assessed against the property tax for
a one year period.
The attached resolution provides for this assessment against five
properties in the total amount of $1,012.89. One property incurred
costs of $825.39 for the removal of a shed on the property, after
the owner failed to respond to several City requests to comply.
• Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution levying a special assessment for
nuisance abatement against the listed property owners in the total
amount of $1,012.89.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The properties were not maintained by the owners and the City
incurred costs to abate the nuisance.
2. Minnesota State Statutes provide that the City may levy a
special one year assessment for these costs.

the City.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item has been placed on the September 14, 1992 agenda so that
this assessment may be filed with Hennepin County along with the
