suggested that the regular City Council meeting scheduled for
December 27 be cancelled.

Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City Council business can be carried over to January
1995.
2. The December 27 meeting follows the Christmas holiday
weekend.
• Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not cancel the December 27 City Council meeting.
2. Reschedule the Council meeting.

This item has been placed on the December 12, 1994 City Council
agenda so proper notification can be made if the December 27

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 348
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Adoption of the 1994 Revised/1995 Proposed budget and final tax
levy and related resolutions.
Background:
The City of Richfield has conducted and closed its 1994 truth-in
taxation hearing on December 7, 1994. During the course of the
public hearing, testimony from members of the general public was
heard. Information was also presented by staff in accordance
with truth-in-taxation statute.
The City Council must now take final action on the City's budget
and tax levy. State Statute requires that final action by each
municipality be taken on a final levy no later than December 20,
1994. The City then has five days to prepare all necessary
reports and certification for submission to the County Auditor
and State Department of Revenue.
In addition to the resolutions authorizing the revised 1994
budget and adopting a 1995 budget and tax levy, several other
resolutions included within the total budget document need to be
considered. Resolutions pertaining to water and sewer utility
rates, capital improvement and program budget, compensation plans
and license/permit fees should also be considered.
. The key issues to be considered as a part of the levy and budget
adoption process are:
Street Lighting Maintenance
The proposed budget assumes that the street lighting
maintenance will be implemented. If the program incorporates
City staff including a City electrician, the annual cost would
be $6.12 per residence and include total costs of $85,000. If
the work is performed by outside contract, the annual cost per
residence is $7.94 per residence and costs roughly $110,250.
This program would free up general funds to assist in the
street maintenance program.
If the City Council does not wish to authorize this program,
Council action will be necessary to address the funding
contemplated in the budget.
? Values and Attitude
If the City Council
City Council should

$45,000 expenditure

s Training
chooses to implement this training, the
direct staff to make appropriate revisions
budget to accommodate the approximately
necessary to pay for the Values and
• ? Cornerstone Intervention Program
If the City Council chooses to implement the program at a cost
of $10,000 for 1995, the City Council may direct staff to
include this $10,000 expenditure in the 1995 Proposed budget
by making revisions necessary to accomplish this addition.
C? /-/
? Frequency of Newsletter
It appears that the City Council would like to reduce the
frequency of the Your City newsletter. The City Council may
• wish to direct staff to revise the 1995 Proposed budget to
provide for a bi-monthly newsletter with up to eight issues
per year.
? Capital Improvement Budget/Capital Improvement Program
The City Council has directed staff to prepare options for
funding park improvements in the capital budget. The attached
memo provides those options.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the resolutions approving the 1994 Revised/1995 Proposed
budget and tax levy and related resolutions.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A revised 1994 budget and final 1995 budget and tax levy must
be adopted on or before December 20, 1994.
2. A proposed 1995 tax levy has been submitted to the City
Council for consideration. The revised 1994 budget reflects
a $50,870 increase from the adopted budget but continues to
remain a balanced budget.
3. A truth-in-taxation public hearing for the 1995 proposed
budget and tax levy has been conducted in accordance with
state law.
• Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could adopt a final 1995 budget and a tax
levy in any amount which does not exceed the preliminary levy
of $7,452,200.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is suggested that the City Council take action on these items
at the December 12, 1994 regular City Council meeting to ensure
ample time to prepare final documents for submission to the
County Auditor. Action on this item can not be taken on the same
night as public testimony on the budget and tax levy are taken,
according to state law.

Council Memorandum No. 121
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Options for Capital Improvement Budget
Council Members:
The City Council has directed staff to provide options for park
improvements related to the proposed 1995 Capital Improvement
Budget. As background, the Council authorized development of two
neighborhood parks for 1994. Initially, the Council directed
that the funding for the second park would be a loan to be repaid
from liquor store profits earned in 1995. This would mean that
no park improvements would be made during 1995. The Council did
direct direct staff to preapre a 1995 proposed capital
improvement budget with and without loan repayments.
It is important to note that the Community Services Commission
• recommendations regarding the Capital Improvement Budget did not
provide for funding of Fremont Park under capital budget Plan A
or B in 1995.
Some options for the Council to consider include the following:
OPTION ONE
Provide $20,000 of funding for park playfeatures at Fremont Park.
Implications:
? $20,000 will provide minimal playfeatures. It is possible that
some residents will not be satisfied with this level of
playfeature improvement.
? $20,000 will not permit funds for removal of any existing
playfeatures at this park. It is possible, due to limited area
of construction of new playfeatures, that some of the new
playfeatures may be too close to existing playfeatures which
could constitute a hazard.
? Neighbors from parks that will not be improved may request
similar advance improvements to their park.
OPTION TWO
Provide funding for modest playfeature improvements to Roosevelt,
Augsburg, Lincoln, Fremont, Christian and Garfield Parks at a
cost of $60,000 per park or a total of $360,000.
Implications: •
It will be necessary to either deplete liquor store reserves or
capital projects reserves to fund these improvements. (The
liquor store reserves were established in order to provide
funding for replacement of the Penn Store or for establishment
of a new liquor store which will generate additional revenues.
The capital projects fund was established in order to provide a
cushion should the State reduce funding to cities. Currently,
the capital projects reserve is approximately $2.5 million or
roughly 20% of General Fund expenditures. These reserves would
allow a gradual tapering reduction of City services should
State funds be eliminated in order to reduce impact to the
community due to a potential funding crisis.)
Funding of these park improvements from future liquor store
profits would delay redevelopment of Sheridan Park and
construction of additional parking at Veterans Park.
OPTION THREE
The City Council could defer final action on the Capital
Improvement Budget until January. It is not necessary to approve
the Capital Improvement Budget at this time. There is apparently
a fair amount of controversy and uncertainty regarding the
implications of various options. In addition, City staff has
learned that it may not be possible to fund the $100,000 of ADA •
improvements from CDBG because of federal and county
restrictions.. Other funding sources need to explored.

classification times the parcel's acreage times the basic system
rate.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 347
Agenda December 12, 1994
c? D
Issue Statement:
First reading of an ordinance amending Section 1155.07, Subd. 3,
of the City of Richfield's Code of Ordinances regulating
unnecessary noise by licensed auto dealers.
Background:
For the past couple of years, the City has continued to receive
complaints from neighbors in-the area of automobile dealers
regarding the use of the dealer's loudspeaker systems. Nothing
the dealers have done thus far has been able to reduce the amount
of complaints.
Recently, one dealer conducted a special sale on a Saturday
Their loudspeaker system could be heard several blocks away.
Numerous complaints were received by Public Safety.
The current ordinance relating to this problem lacks specificity
and frustrates Public Safety and citizens because staff seem
powerless to curtail the noise.
Recommended Motion:
The Council, at a recent meeting, directed staff to amend the
ordinance which will more closely address this problem. The
proposed ordinance appears to accomplish that prupose. It is,
however, directed at only licensed auto dealers. This should be
sufficient since this has not been a problem in other parts of
the business community.
Staff is, therefore, recommending approval of the first reading
of the attached ordinance.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do nothing. Leave the ordinance as is and see if the auto
dealers will police themselves. This, however, has not
worked to date. Public Safety will continue to get
complaints as will members of the City Council.
2. Instruct staff to amend the ordinance to ban loudspeaker
systems altogether. This may be the end result if it is
legally permissible and if the proposed ordinance is
ineffective.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Approve first reading of an ordinance amending Section 1155.07,
Subd. 3, of the Richfield Code of Ordinances regulating
automobile dealers and disturbances to adjacent properties. In
addition, set January 23, 1995 as public hearing and second
reading.

Council Letter No. 346
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Recommendation of the wildlife management committee related to
the issue of deer overpopulation.
Background:
On November 14, 1994, the City Council appointed a committee to
consider wildlife management related to the issue of deer
overpopulation. Committee members include Co-chair Matt Stokes,
chair of the Community Services Commission; Co-chair Bill
Bullock, chair of the Friends of Wood Lake (FOWL) Board of
Directors; Council Member Mike Sandahl; Public Safety Director
Jack Erskine; Community Services Director Don Fondrick; and
Nature Center Manager Karen Shanberg.
The problem, being experienced throughout the metropolitan area,
was identified by the Committee to be that a large number of deer
result in:
? loss of biodiversity - overall habitat loss; that is to say,
loss of flowers, shrubs, saplings and animals that depend on
them; i.e., rabbits are reduced because they eat what the deer
eat;
? conflict with cars (auto/deer accidents);
? conflict with neighbors' yards and gardens;
? safety issues associated with bucks during the rutting season;
and
? concern that the health of deer is affected when there are too
many for a limited habitat.
Several possible solutions were discussed. They included, among
others:
? do nothing;
? hunting;
? sharpshooting;
? trap and relocate;
? trap and dispatch; and
? birth control.
The committee met with interested individuals and organizations.
The committee hosted an open house, attended by approximately 50
people, to receive comments about solutions to the issue. A
complete report is attached to this Council Letter.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the trap and dispatch of deer at Wood Lake Nature
Center with the intention of maintaining a Nature Center deer
(one to three deer). Further, authorize application and payment
for a permit from the DNR to accomplish the trap and.dispatch of
deer at the Wood Lake Nature Center.
lq-/
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The metropolitan area, including the City of Richfield, is
experiencing overpopulation of deer.
2. Richfield residents have asked that consideration be given to
finding solutions to problems related to deer overpopulation.
3. A committee, appointed by the Council, considered the issue
and provided an opportunity for citizens to provide comment.
4. The proposed action is considered to be the most humane
treatment of the animal while still meeting the desires of
the community.
5. The Friends of Wood Lake (FOWL) Board of Directors, at its
December 8, 1994 meeting, unanimously agreed with the
recommendation of the Committee.
6. It is necessary to have a permit from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources to conduct trap and dispatch.
Alternative Recommendation:
As outlined above there are several possible alternatives. The
positive and negative aspects of these alternatives are discussed
. in the attached Committee report.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the December 12, 1994 Council agenda. Council is
asked to take action as soon as possible so that any solution of
the problem may be instituted before the situation becomes overly
negative for the animal and the community and while conditions
permit the most humane treatment for both the animal and the
community.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL RELATED TO DEER ISSUES
IN THE CITY OF RICHFIELD, SPECIFICALLY THE WOOD LAKE NATURE CENTER
•
THE PROBLEM:
The problem, being experienced throughout the metropolitan area, was
identified by the Committee to be that a large number of deer result
in: 1) loss of biodiversity -overall habitat loss; that is to say,
loss of flowers, shrubs, saplings and animals that depend on them;
i.e., rabbits are reduced because they eat what the deer eat; 2)
conflict with cars, 3) conflict with neighbors' yards and gardens; 4)
safety issues associated with bucks during the rutting season and 5)
concern that the health of deer is affected when there are too many
for a limited habitat.
The mission of the Wood Lake Nature Center is to manage and interpret
natural ecosystems and, therefore, there is a responsibility toward
addressing all native plant and animal species. Unfortunately, the
deer population buildup is not natural and is out of control due to
the urban setting, the lack of predators and other means to limit
population growth.
A diversity of plant life is the foundation upon which all other life
forms are based. Over-browsing by large numbers of deer damages
plants, eliminates entire species of them, thereby undermining the
entire food chain. Wood Lake Nature Center has provided exclosures
• since 1991 to evaluate the results of browsing. In 1989 there were
no.deer at Wood Lake Nature Center. In 1994 the estimated size of
the herd has ranged from counts of 36 to 48. According to the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and many other research
sources, a limit of 10 to 20 deer per square mile does not impact the
ecosystem. Wood Lake Nature Center is less than one quarter square
mile with only one third of this area providing woods or habitat
conducive to deer. That would indicate an optimum deer population of
one to three.
The incidence of deer and vehicle encounters is being more widely and
frequently reported. Personal safety issues of disease and deer and
human encounters, especially during the rutting season, are of
growing concern. Concern for the health and safety of the deer also
is growing based on the urban setting and the increasingly limited
habitat.
THE PROCESS:
It was very exciting when deer were first noted at the Wood Lake
Nature Center. However, the number of deer continued to grow as it
did throughout the upper Midwest. Members of the Wood Lake staff
attended conferences that more and more frequently addressed deer
overpopulation issues. Staff was in communication with the
Department of Natural Resources, the University of Minnesota, private
consultants, neighboring communities such as Bloomington, and
• communities and agencies throughout the country such as the.Forest
Preserve District of DuPage County in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Reports
of other communities such as Eden Prairie, other agencies such as the
Minnesota River Valley and surveys by groups such as Macalester
College were gathered, reviewed and made available to others. Some
of these resource materials are attached to this report.

• As the deer population in Richfield continued to grow, the Council
was asked to respond to citizen concerns. The deer and raccoons were
not only destroying Wood Lake Nature Center vegetation and
residential plant growth but were causing damage to schools, homes
and vehicles. The deer, then a herd of about 20, were considered to
be a danger to the community as well as to themselves as they became
entangled with fences and benches. Some deer had been destroyed
after causing injury to themselves. As recommended by the Friends of
Wood Lake (FOWL) Board.of Directors and by the Community Services
Commission, on*September'27, 1993 the City Council approved an.
ordinance amendment prohibiting the feeding of deer and raccoon.

However, the deer population in Richfield continued to grow. In
response to increasing citizen concerns and inquiries indicating the
deer population was becoming more of a problem, the Council was asked
to appoint a committee to consider wildlife management related to the
issue of deer overpopulation in Richfield. On November 14, 1994, a
committee consisting of Council member Michael Sandahl, Community
Services Commission chair Matt Stokes, FOWL Board chair Bill Bullock,
Public Safety Director Jack Erskine, Community Services Director Don
Fondrick and Nature Center Manager Karen Shanberg was created. The
committee held meetings, including a public Open House on December 6,
1994 at Wood Lake Nature Center. Discussion items included, among
other things, identification of the problem and potential solutions.

Report to the City Council related to deer issues Page 4
CONCLUSION:
Increasing numbers of white-tailed deer are a concern. The growing
population is negatively impacting native ecosystems and threatening
the survival of plants and animals. Continual overgrazing by too
many deer will set back years of restoration efforts attempting to
save ecosystems for all wildlife species, not just deer. To avoid
further damage, to ensure protection of the natural environment, and
to relieve concerns of personal safety,•implementation of a deer
management program is desired.
The Committee gave careful consideration to the sensitive issue of
deer: As many resources as possible were explored. As many
solutions as possible were considered. The public was invited to
provide comment. To provide a recommendation that is sensitive,
practical and effective is difficult. After careful analysis, it is
the recommendation of the Committee that:
1. The trap and dispatch method of deer management be instituted at
Wood Lake Nature Center with the intention of maintaining a
Nature Center deer population of approximately one to three deer,
the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimated carrying
capacity of Wood Lake.
2. That the management program be conducted during hours when the
park is closed to the public.
• 3. That the deer removed as a result of the management program be
processed as quickly as possible with meat to be provided to food
shelves.
4. That the Council authorize application of a permit from the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to implement the
management program as soon as possible.
5. That the ordinance prohibiting feeding of deer be enforced.

Deer at Wood Lake
r?
u
History of Population
Deer have been seen very sporadically at the nature center for years, and beginning in 1987 three •
deer were seen fairly regularly throughout the summer. In 1990, three deer spent the winter here,
representing the first time in over 10 years that a deer had overwintered. In the summer of 1991, 3
deer were born on site (for a total of 6), and an additional 3 deer joined the herd that fall, for a total of
9 deer (8 females and 1 male) that overwintered. Four deer were born on site in the summer of 1992
(total of 13) and the deer herd grew to 24 in the fall of 1992. An average of 30 deer overwintered in
1992-93, and there were 35 deer overwintering in 1993-94. The staff counted 48 deer on December
6, 1994.
Origin
Deer populations are high all over the metro area. High population densities make deer move more.
Yearlings and young adults move most. Deer can range from 1 or 2 to 11 miles, and the current best
guess is that the initial immigrants came from the Minnesota River area, where populations are very
high. However they got here, Wood Lake is now holding an unnaturally large permanent deer
population.
Habitat and Food
Deer are plant browsers that eat new pla ?t shoots, flowers, leaves and the tips of shrub and tree
twigs. Deer eat over 7 pounds of food a day. They have adapted well to urban areas and the Wood
Lake herd mostly stays at the south end during the day, browsing all areas of the nature center at
?g t, Surveys in February and March through 1993 have shown the deer mostly stayed in the nature
nter; there were virtually no signs of them leaving to browse anywhere else. Summer of 1994
brought a dramatic increase of neighborhood complaints of deer browsing in their yards and there are
very prominent deer trails outside Wood Lake's fence line.
Staff Concerns
The herd size has grown dramatically in the past few years. Wildlife experts say that deer
populations over 10-20 per square mile degrade the vegetation. Wood Lake Nature Center covers
1/4 sq. mile, but only 1/3 of.that area is woods and prairie (the rest is cattails' and open water).
Transect surveys of prairie and woods this year have shown virtually 100% of all plants have been
browsed. With a huge population of stationary deer at the nature center, the habitat has been
completely degraded, sending deer into the surrounding neighborhood to find food. One study
predicts that if all browsing stopped today it would still take over 10 years for the plant population to
return to normal. The deer population is going to have to be carefully monitored to insure the health
of the whole Wood Lake habitat.. In 1994 staff found 2 very young deer dead from starvation and
cold. Additionally, 2 deer were destroyed after breaking legs hopping fences. There were 3 car/deer
collisions on city streets in 1994.

DATE: November 15, 1994
TO: Don Fondrick
FROM:" Wood Lake Staff
SUBJECT: Deer impacts on vegetation
Some of the staff.notes and studies on deer impacts on vegetation
are as follows:
1. We've gone from 45 blooming species of prairie flowers on the
south prairie in a 1991 survey to 2 (hyssop and 1 individual
gray-headed coneflower plant) in the 1994 transect. We've also
dropped to 18 species of flowers (16 of which did not set seed in
1994). Roy Robison (our prairie consultant) indicated that if
the deer keep cropping the prairie flowers, the grasses will
continue to spread and dominate, making it very expensive, if not
impossible, to come bac:x at a later date and put flowers back
into the area. In 1988, after the flood, Wood Lake spent $5,700
in prairie flower seed and seedlings to restore damaged areas. '
The current deer browsed prairie area (approximately 130,000 sq.
feet) is larger than the flooded area (approximately 110,000 sq,
feet).
2. The results of sampling from the small deer exclosure are also
fairly dramatic. We measured average stem height and percent
ground cover in six 10 inch by 20 inch plots from April-August.
Below are listed examples indicative of the overall results.
Plots 1-3 are inside the exclosure and 4-6 are outside. Zeros
indicate times'when no living plants over 1/4 inch tall could be
found in the plots. I can provide all data collected if needed.

3. Most of the other evidence is anecdotal. Richfield 6th
graders ran sixty 6' by 80' transacts on the east and west sides
and calculated the percent browse of.shrubs and trees. Almost
all plots showed 100% deer browse. Snakeroot, milkweed and
members of the mint family were the very few forbs that.set seeds
this year. Even stinging nettle, poison ivy and thistle were so
heavily browsed that they were virtually unnoticed this past
summer. Let us know if you need any specific information.

"Rats with antlers." Hunting limits and the disappearance of predators like wolves have led to a baby boom of white-tailed deer.
Deer, deer
everywhere
A population boom to 20 million takes its toll on towns and forests
n the forests of Wisconsin, rare or-
chids and lilies are disappearing. and
the stately hardwoods and hemlocks
have failed tc reproduce for 50 vears. At
Gettysburg National Military Park. the
cornfields that the park has tried to grow
to re-create the scene that blue- and
gray-clad soldiers saw on the morning of
July 1, 1863, never make it more than 6
inches tall. In the town of Irondequoit.
N.Y., (population 52,700) a 1,000-acre
park and arboretum has been stripped
bare of exotic plantings, the golf greens
are full of holes and 100 cars a vear are
damaged in collisions with shadowy ob-
jects that prowl the roads at night.
Once a rarity, the American white-
tailed deer is now a full-fledged men-
ace -"rats with antlers," some disgusted
suburbanites have taken to calling them.
From a mere 500.000 at the turn of the
century, the deer population now stands
at 20 million and growing. Deer are
showing up in places they haven't been
seen for a century or more, invading sub-
divisions and eating shrubs, raiding farm-
ers' orchards and fields and sending sales
of deer fence, repellents and ultrasonic
whistles for car bumpers soaring.
But ecologists are finding that deer
are more than just a nuisance to home-
owners. "There are dramatic ecological
changes as deer populations grow," says
wildlife biologist William Porter of Syr-
acuse University. Rare plants and ani-
mals, and even entire forests, are now
threatened as hordes of voracious deer
plunder the food chain.
Habitat change. All this is part of a
worldwide population explosion of deer
species, from moose in Sweden and red
deer in Scotland to elk in America's
Western parks. Tough enforcement of
conservation laws, bans on hunting in
suburban areas and the disappearance of
predators such as wolves and mountain
lions are part of the explanation. But the
most dramatic change has been in the
available habitat. for deer. Deer are
"weedy" species that readily exploit the
fresh growth of young, recently disturbed
forests. With suburban development,
"the fragmentation of forest and farm-
land into a combination of the two is
ideal for white-tailed deer," says Porter.
When the town authorities of Ironde-
quoit, a suburb of Rochester, banned
hunting in 1978, the deer quickly began
to take over. Besides damaging cars and
plantings, the estimated 500 deer run-

ning through the town soon.exhausted
available food and began to show signs of
starvation and extreme stress-very low
weight, little body fat and poor repro-
ductive success. "It just got to the point
that it was intolerable," says Lawrence
Myers of the New York State Depart-
ment of Environmental Conservation.
"Most of these communities expert-
ending deer problems go through a se-
quence," observes Porter. "First, the
deer are wonderful, and that's why we .
moved here. Next, there are
too many, and What we need to
do is get rid, of a few of them
and give them good homes.
They eventually get to the
point where they say, `Let's get
someone in here to shoot
them as quickly as possible."'
The spread of Lyme disease,
which is tamed by deer ticks
and which has been on the rise
as deer populations grow, has
added to their unpopularity,
In Irondequoit, a citizens'
task force was finally appoint-
ed to make recommenda-
tions. The committee con-
cluded that there was no
alternative but to cull the
herd. After a legal challenge
by the Humane Society of the
United States was turned
back, police officers were
hired to carry out the shoot;
80 deer were shot in 1993,160
last year and 240 will be shot
this winter. The meat is do-
nated to charitable organiza-
tions. The cost has been sev-
era] hundred dollars per animal shot.
But, Porter argues, the costs of doing
nothing are probably much greater: The
average deer-car collision costs $2,000.
The ecological costs, though, maybe t
incalculable. Animal-rights groups fre- t
quently present the issue of deer man- 1
agement as simply one of human incon-
venience. "Many people comfortably
live in regions highly populated by a
deer," states a pamphlet produced by d
the Fund for Animals that urges home- c
owners to adjust their attitudes. a
Many ecologists beg to differ. "At a a
local level, you can put a fence around fo
it or put deer repellent on the yew in
your front yard, but that isn't a viable to
solution at a larger scale," says botanist f
William Alverson of the University of w
Wisconsin. His studies of old-growth in
Wisconsin forests found that the domi- d
nant hemlocks and white cedars have h
failed to reproduce; the deer simply L
gobble up all the seedlings that emerge. ha

e changes due to deer are so slo
that it's not obvious to someone d '
by in a car," he says, "[but] at the r
gional level, hemlock forests are beco
ing rarer and rarer." An exception
the Menominee Indian reservation '
northern Wisconsin, where intensi
hunting-both in and out of season
has held deer to about 8 per squar,
mile, versus 20 in other Wisconsin fo
ests and as much as 200 in some hard
hit suburbs.
A study by William McShea of th
Smithsonian Institution documente
other worrisome ecological changes as
deer take over. McShea built six "exclo-
sure" fences around 10-acre plots in Vir-
ginia's Shenandoah National Park and
he adjacent. George Washington Na-
ional Forest and compared the animal
ife inside those plots with that in similar
areas where deer had free access. In years
when oaks produced a small acorn crop
nd food was scarce, competition with
eer caused the number of squirrels,
hipmunks. flying squirrels, wood rats
nd mice in the unfenced plots to drop to
s little as 10 percent of the number
und in the deer-free exclosures.
In two of the exclosures, rare migra-
ry songbirds not seen elsewhere in the
orests unexpectedly began to appear as
ell; McShea speculates that by destroy-
g the low-lying plants of the forest un-
erstory, the deer have eliminated the
abitat for the insects the birds feed on.
ike Alverson in Wisconsin, McShea
s found a near total absence of young
w seedlings of many of the key species of
rlvmg trees that make up the forest. "A lot of
e the woods you see now are woods that
m- grew up 40 years ago when there were
is no deer," he notes
n The bigcull. Porter calculates that with-
ve out any hunting, deer populations would
be five times what they are at present.
e For areas where public hunting is not an
r- option, the best alternative may be a cull
that removes the entire deer population.
Biologists had believed that whenever
e deer were reduced in one area, deer from
d surrounding areas would simply drift in
and fill the empty slots. But
PAUL RaENM Porter found that deer tend to
be highly conservative, stick-
ing to the territory where the%
were born and maintaining
contact with other members of
their social group. About
percent of the females do reg-
ularly migrate, but that means
that a cull may be necessary
only once every(10 to 15 years.
Nonlethal alternatives have
been tried in some areas, but
the costs have been stagger-
ing. Trapping and removal -
assuming that someone can
be found who wants to take
the animals-costs $600 per
head. Contraception by surgi-
cal implants or immunization
requires treatment of at least
80 percent of the entire fe-
male population to be effec-
tive, at a cost of $500 to $1.000
a head. "At Gettysburg, there
are 800 deer, 500 females, so
you've got to get 400 fe-
males," says Porter. "Tell me
where .you're going to get a
quarter of a million dollars a year to do
that? I had one woman from Long Island
come up to me at a conference and say,
`We'd really like to do something about
our deer problem and we've raised $800.'
That's just not going to do it."
In the long run, changes in forest man-
agement might be effective in limiting
deer numbers. Leaving more of a forest
undisturbed-either by setting aside
large blocks, probably at least 50,000
acres, where no cutting is allowed or by
concentrating timber harvests in large,
single clear-cuts rather than many small
cuts-can reduce the amount of forest
"edge" that deer prefer. But with deer so
numerous that they are wiping out 100
percent of the young seedlings in some
areas, just getting to the point where for-
ests can be left alone is a problem. "Right
now," agrees McShea, "hunting is the
only tool available."

those who love them.

and reducing the diversity of plant
and animal species. The article
cites an excessive deer population
in Virginia ("...probably five times
as large as it was when European
settlers arrived."), but in fact the
problem extends throughout the
eastern temperate hardwood
forests from southern New
England through the mid-Atlantic
states and westward to the Great
Lakes region.
From the Post: "Recent studies of
whitetail deer in the eastern decid-
uous forest demonstrate that there
can be too manv deer, and that
their feeding has major impacts on
forest vegetation and wildlife. But
the general public and deer
hunters do not understand this
impact. This lack of understanding
greatly impedes support for the
only viable solution to the problem
of too many deer, which is to
reduce deer populations to the
point where they no longer endan-
ger forest resources."
The task as we see it, however, is
not to find a way to reduce deer
populations (there are solutions,
which we'll talk about later). It is

rather to convince those for whom
there cannot be "too many deer" of
the serious and permanent conse-
quences of not reducing deer num-
bers-thereby removing impedi-
ments to what we believe are nec-
essary actions.
In his essay "Wilderness," Aldo
Leopold eloquently described the
phenomenon of deer overpopula-
tion:

landscape is deprived of a certain exu-
berance which arises from a rich vari-
ety of plants fighting' with each other
for a place ill the sun.
Leopold offered those cautions
as he toured Germany in 1935.
Almost 60 years later and an ocean
removed, we must now come to
grips with our own forest system
that has been out of balance for
decades.
The whitetail deer, hunted to
near extinction at the turn of the
century, has made a remarkable
recovery throughout its range.
Populations have irrupted in
response to protective game laws,
freedom from natural predators
iwolves and mountain lions were

because they preyed on livestock),
and an abundance of favorable
habitat (landscapes of intermin-
gled young forest and agricultural
fields that produce a plethora of
deer food). Resource managers,
forest landowners, and the general
public are faced with the conse-
quences-reduced diversity of
woody and herbaceous forest
ground cover and songbirds,
delayed and altered recovery of
forests from disturbance, and diffi-
culty in regenerating commercially
valuable tree species.
And the deer's impact is not lim-
ited to the forest ecosvstem: Crop-
damage figures are astronomical,
totalling over $80 million annuallv
in Pennsylvania alone. In addition,

effects of deer density.

are 80 per square mile.
s
Forest renewal is far more
complete in the area at XA r
right, where there are A;, t,, ry?f '?#?>
about 10 of the animals per ti rh-
square mile.
But deer numbers are i
not the only factor deter- ?. ?
mining whether the ani-
mals are impacting other
resources. The lmbitat itself
is another vital element.
The abundant food and cover of Vir?inia's Shenandoah
Valley, tier example, can support many more deer than the
large, unbroken forests of West Virg»tia. 7lnther harvest-
too, creates real snackbars t6r whitetails. Such areas
can support higher deer numbers than can less lush forests
tnfnrr the nni„uds brgin to make inroads on other
deer-vehicle collisions exceed
40,000 every year in both Michigan
and Pennsylvania. And finally, the
whitetail's voracious appetite
includes most garden and home
landscaping; plants.
Motorists _are often subjected to
the conflicting sensations of
adventure and danger that accom-
pany most nighttime drives in the
rural Appalachians and lake states.
There may be pleasure in viewing
a doe and her fawns grazing along
the shoulder, but there is definitely
tensor in fiAding a 150-pound buck
in your headlights at 55 miles per
hour.
High deer numbers are also
implicated in the rapid increase in
the incidence of Lyme disease in
humans, which is the second-
fastest-growing infectious disease
in the country, according to a
recent Associated Press article.
On the other hand, some of the
effects of high deer numbers are
quite pleasant:
Two of the authors are runners
who, during a late-summer jog at
dawn through New York's
Allegany State Park, counted 55
deer along our 3.5-mile loop. The
sighting; triggered a special kind of
runner's high.

P The above personal observations
ca de, researchers are providing far
omtore than anecdotal evidence to
suopport the claim that deer popu-
rations s are too high.
iliFirst, let's define "too high" in

0 65 of three types of carrying
Racities: cultural (the maximum
?
nmber of deer that can coexist
compatibly with local human pop-
ulations); biological (the number of
deer the ecosystem can support in
good physical condition over an
extended period of time); and bio-
diversity (the maximum number of
deer that can exist without nega-
tively affecting floral and faunal
diversity).
When deer numbers exceed the
biodiversity carrying capacity, they
eliminate some species and reduce
others. Biodiversity carrying
capacity is reached at deer densi-
ties lower than either cultural or
biological carrying capacity. Deer-
vehicle accidents, crop depreda-
tion, and garden and landscape
plant losses serve notice that in
parts of the East, we are pushing
the boundaries of cultural carrying
capacity. The research findings
outlined below should convince
you that we are beyond both the
biological and biodiversity carry-
kg capacities as well. In general,
er densities in excess of 20 per
square mile appear to decrease

own and operate, with l?ieir jour children, a familt• timber business in the heart of that'
'state's pnme hardwood country. We asked them to give uv a landowner s per Ixrctitx on the
deer problem there. Here is the result:
The whitetail deer is changing our lives and the lives of future generations. The changes are affecting
many elements of the natural world here.
The soil and climate conditions of the Appalachian range grow some of the most valuable hardwood
timber in the world. The deer are decimating some of those trees, panicularly the black chern• (Prunus
serotina). We're proud of our chern•: the richest stands of cherry in the world grow here. The stumpage
price for cherry currently is $1 per board-foot!
The price is so high because the trees are disappearing. Deer eat the new seedlings, allowing only
ferns to grow. Once ferns cover the ground, hardwoods cannot grow. I like to get out in the woods on a
bulldoze, a,-td scrape away the thick mats of ferns, but it's disappointing to see how quickly the deer nib-
ble off the seedlings that come up in such places.
Years ago we enjoved hunting the big white snowshoe rabbits that were common in the swamps, and
the cottontails in the thick underbrush. Often it was a New Year's Day event. The baying of the hounds as
they worked the rabbits in a big circle (hopefully back toward us), the snow on the Wound that some-
times allowed us to see the chase in progress, occasionally a glimpse of the ghostly snowshoes, and even
a shot once in a while-those were memorable days.
But the deer have eaten away most of the brushy cover, and
the rabbits have disappeared. So have the whippoorwills, which
we loved listening to in the evenings but have not heard for
many years.
Also gone is the wild ginseng. Years ago an old logger, who
had gathered the roots in burlap bags in the 1930s, showed me
a wild ginseng plant and told me they were getting scarce. There
was always some of the root remaining to continue the growth.
But now the ginseng is gone here as far as I know.
It used to be that areas where we cut timber grew up quickly
in lush patches of wild raspberries and blackberries. Now we
find lots of short plants that have been nibbled off by the white-
tails..but few large plants with delicious berries.
Our life is good here in this beautiful wooded country-but it
is changing.-MUGHT Lt:a7s

FOREST REGENERATION
The eastern harwood
region, with its abundant
rainfall and generally
benign climate, is irre-
pressibly green. Clearcut,
burned, and grazed by cattle at the
turn of the century, it quickly
returned to its customary green in
response to conservation efforts,
although the new green was brush
land and not deep forest. That
"brush" included the seedlings
that grew into today's hardwood
forests. But when we create similar
forest openings today, the new
growth that springs up is often of a
far different nature. Commercially
important, high-value hardwood
trees are often difficult to regener-
ate. Are deer a factor?

FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF DUPAGE COUNTY
• DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Ecosystem Restoration and Management Program
The Forest Preserve District's mandated function is to " acquire lands ...for the purpose of
protecting and preserving the flora, fauna, and scenic beauties...and to restore, restock, protect,
and preserve such lands ...in their natural state and condition ...for the purpose of education,
pleasure, and recreation of the public..." To this end, the District has developed and routinely
passed ordinances relating to ecosystem management and the protection of all natural
resources. Among these include the 90/10 policy whereas 90 percent of District lands remain
in a natural state and are managed as such, and only 10 percent of the land is used for
recreational development. Two additional policies include the wildlife management policy
and the Natural Areas Management Program. The wildlife management policy was passed in
1992 and allows for population control of animals if ecosystem degradation can be
scientifically documented and attributed to this over population. The Natural Areas
Management Program, passed in 1993, is a 10 year program with the goal of restoring the
ecological integrity and natural conditions to more than 7,000 acres of the District's highest
quality natural areas. The deer management program is part of an overall, comprehensive
program of achieving this goal.
Bottom Line: The deer management program is legal and necessary in achieving the goals set
forth in the District's legislative mandate and agency policies.

Deer Population Researh
After years of hearing complaints from landowners and the public regarding deer damage and
deer-car collisions, the Illinois Department of Conservation contracted the Illinois Natural
History Survey to conduct deer population studies in the urbanized areas of Northeastern
Illinois.. The Urban Deer Study was conducted from 1983 through 1989 with a 1992 report
published. The Forest Preserve District, aware of and concerned with deer population
increases, participated in the study and has been conducting independent population research
since 1989. At least once each year, District staff conduct minimum counts, which is to say
that on a given day and time deer numbers are observed and recorded in an "at least" fashion.
Although these numbers are an attempt to assess the deer population, they record a minimum
number of animals that were observed on that day and time.
Bottom Line: The District has documented rising deer populations in DuPage County Forest
Preserves that, in many, exceed 100 deer/square mile. The ecological carrying capacity for
DuPage County's various natural environments is less than or equal to 20 deer/square mile.
Other deer management programs in Northeastern Illinois are managing for 10-15 deer/square
mile.

Damage To Ecosystems
To answer the scientific question, "Are deer impacting ecosystems", District ecologists
developed a scientific study analyzing the impact, if one existed, on woodland vegetation- the
vegetation that is a preferred food source for deer. Ten deer "exclosures" were established at
preserves that might be experiencing some reduction in plant species diversity. The
"exclosures" are 15'X15' and are designed to allow for migration in and out for all plant
eating wild animals, except deer. Random points both inside and outside the "exclosures"
were used to examine plants. Variables measured at the points included plant height, number
of native species (diversity), and total percent plant cover to name a few. These variables
were measured twice a year for the past 4 years. Statistically significant differences (not due
to chance) were found in the "exclosure" studies, thus establishing a relationship between high
deer populations and negative impact to woodland vegetation. Vegetation is the foundation of
food chains and ecosystems. Additional research conducted by the Chicagoland Bird
Observatory has documented declining bird populations in the lower levels of woodland
ecosystems, the very same area that the deer are impacting. The published biological
literature contains other documentation of deer over population negatively impacting
ecosystems.
Bottom Line: The high deer densities are negatively impacting plant communities and bird
populations, thus impacting ecosystems. Excessive deer populations pose a severe threat to
the diversity of plants and animals through the alteration and degradation of habitat and
ecosystems. The loss of plants reduces the food supply for those animals which depend upon
• them for food. Changes in the character of ecosystems will ultimately affect all living things
in it.
Methods of Kill
After considering the facts and investigating alternatives to lethal removal, District staff
recommended 2 methods of killing animals: sharp-shooters and rocket nets/captive bolt.
Sharp-shooting is a form of wild animal euthanasia recommended by the Humane Society of
the United States. Rocket nets are widely used by wildlife biologists to capture animals for a
variety of research. The captive bolt is considered a conditionally acceptable form of
euthanasia by the American Association of Veterinarian Medicine's Panel on Euthanasia when
the animal is properly restrained and the instrument is used by trained personnel. District
staff conforms to these recommendations when using the device. Only the sharp-shooting
method with the captive bolt as a back-up (no nets) has been used from December 2, 1993 to
March 1, 1994
Bottom Line: Humanness is a matter of opinion. The District has used 2 methods that are
recommended by 2 different organizations that are interested in the humane treatment of
animals. Neither method is a cruel way to kill animals.
0
/9-r')
Contraception
The District has been interested in contraception as a means of maintaining deer populations
since the inception of the deer management program. District staff have been monitoring the
progress of various forms of birth control research for the past 3 years and have inquired
about using DuPage forest preserves as research/test sites. The District has always maintained
that the first possible availability of contraception will not be until at least 1995.
Contraception is not designed to reduce populations in an efficient manner, but only to
maintain populations at desired densities and slow population growth. This has been
confirmed on numerous occasions by the researchers. The Commission has not directed staff
to become involved in contraceptive research in the past. Staff has contacted 2 researchers as
to the status of their research. Staff has attended a wildlife contraception conference in
Denver at the end of October, 1993 and reported back as to the trends, status and progress of
a variety of different ongoing research projects.
Bottom Line: There are no effective, field proven, non-lethal means of controlling deer
populations at this time. A reduction program prior to implementing contraception is usually
recommended by researchers. Implementing contraception in lieu of a reduction program may
work, but it could take up to 15 years for current populations to reach the desired deer
densities. Continued destruction to the ecosystems would still occur.

POPULATION LEVELS:
According to an article in American Forests, Pennsylvania
wildlife officials recommended 20 deer per square mile as
"balanced population levels"
Jay Mcinnich, a Minnesota DNR deer research expert, recommends
carrying capacity of 15-20 deer per square mile as the carrying
capacity.
.Ryerson Woods and the Cook County forest preserve (both in
Illinois) use the-15-20 deer per square mile as maximum deer
populations.
In an article from Conservation Biology, a Wisconsin study shows
deer populations as low as 10.36 per sqare mile may prevent
regeneration of preferred (by the deer) tree species.

Wildlife Management Committee Open House re deer population ??--?
Tuesday, December 6, 1994
Page 1 of 3
Written comments provided on cards by those attending Open House:
Clara Nieder, 6401 Newton Avenue South, daytime 869-0282: I like to
see the population limited to 4-6 fawns,.allowing people to feed
them at least during the winter.
Allen Linderwell, 6732 Second Avenue South, daytime 869-1314: I
think we should trap and move the deer to wildlife refuges where
they can put new blood in old herds. We should keep at least 5
deer and remove the no feeding ordinance, encourage people to feed
them, and the supplement will take some of the pressure off the
browse. Deer live on farm land south of the Cities and don't eat
anything but alfalfa and corn. Many people come to the Nature
Center only to see the deer. SAVE the 10 point buck.
R. Bock, 6615 Lakeshore Drive, #814, daytime 869-8001: Keep 1 buck
and 5 does. Get rid of the rest by whatever means is necessary.
Judith Scoville, 4849 Girard Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, 55409,
daytime 825-5333, member of FOWL and frequent user of Wood Lake:
Deer are destroying Wood Lake and must be controlled by the most
effective and humane means compatible with public safety - which is
probably trap and dispatch. To allow uncontrolled deer in Wood
Lake is to allow destruction of prairie restoration and habitat for
many other species.
Jim Cohen, 5440-14th Avenue South, daytime 825-2593, evening 572-
7115: Deer in the Wood Lake Nature Center are a bonus. The area is
large enough to support not 1 or 2, but at least 8. A walker can
walk anywhere, but the deer give incentive to come to the Center.
The present deer population has grown to its current size over the
past 5 years because of mismanagement of the asset! The current
manager of the Center incorrectly believes the solution to the
overpopulation problem is total destruction of the herd. The
Center needs deer, as it does birds, fox, etc.
Jeri Cohen, 6322 Harriet Avenue, daytime 825-2593: I realize the
deer herd must be cut but don't make the Center exclude the deer.
Many people's hearts and beings are tied to these deer; i.e.,
seniors, children, the already most abused members of society.
Manage at least 6 deer incorporating birth control, volunteer
feeding program, different plantings for them to browse, etc.
There has to be a way to work their way gracefully into this Nature
Center and be maintained within the balance. If I were a
naturalist I would have more solutions, perhaps -
Chester N. Eggen, 6733 Emerson Avenue South, daytime 866-9097: They
are now on the streets endangering life. I almost hit one on
Emerson Avenue the other night.
Dorothy Lindberg, 6615 Lakeshore Drive, daytime 869-6612: The
problem of too many deer should be resolved soon. The sooner the
better. Severe winter weather plus inadequate food supply will
only bring unecessary suffering to those beautiful and much loved
animals. Reducing the population by an approved, humane method
seems to be the only solution. Please, no bows and arrows. A deer
rifle in the right hands would be quick, sure and almost painless.

Written comments provided on cards.by those attending Open House:
Alan and Beth Bruce, 6615 Lake Shore Drive, daytime 861-1582: A
public note is no way to solve a problem that threatens the Nature
Center. Surely there has developed some professional expert
opinion in the Twin City area. Professionals should make
recommendations and defend them. Kill the deer; save the Center!
Helen Lapakko, 7250 Oak Grove Boulevard, daytime 866-3860: I
understand the need to thin the herd. But ethically it bothers me.
We have allowed people to feed the deer. Often I see people with
bags of corn. The deer eating out of their hand. So now they are
tame to humans and we go in and put a gun to their heads. A fair
hunt would be good. But there can't be one. We need to be
responsible to the deer, now they are roaming our neighborhoods
eating our plants, getting hit by cars. We helped create the
problem. What's fair to all?
Conny Brunell, 6801 Sheridan, daytime 869-7749: Please handle the
trap and kill during the hours when the park is not open-so that we
do not have to witness it.
Bud and Fern Friskey, 6933 Columbus Avenue, daytime 866-6094: I

Robert Clinite, 6615 Lake Shore Drive #200, 861-6945: 40 to 50 deer
are far too many. Cut it down to 6-10 does in the most humane way
you can. Set up a feeding program to furnish roughage and corn and
allow the public to feed the animals. Eliminate the foxes and you
will have ducks and geese and rabbits again.
Steve Manhood, 5345-28th Avenue South, evening 721-4254: Allow
bowhunters to harvest all the deer. This is a safe and humane
solution although I doubt this will take place due to how
"politically" incorrect hunting (and bow hunting) has become.
However, if the City of Richfield does nothing and a deer ends up
killing somebody due to car/deer accident, Richfield will pay
i millions due to being sued.
Harold H. Hussman, daytime 824-4467: Trap and relocate to wildlife
management areas. We need good reliable information re relocation
effects on deer. All we hear from D.N.R. is - it can't be done.

Written comments provided on cards by those attending Open House:
Kristal Stokes, 6733-17th Avenue South, evening 869-7499: This
community has worked hard to keep this Nature Center alive and
vital. That needs to be protected. I would like to see the deer
herd managed to the point that would not destroy the Center (1-2).
The most humane way is to trap and dispatch them. I do not agree
to sharp shooting due to close proximity to neighborhoods.
Anna Stokes: I think we should trap them, take them out of the City
and kill them. Thank you.
Emily Day: It seems if we want to have a nature center for other
animals, birds, plants and trees, we will have to build high fences
to keep them out! (Of course we'd have to shag them out first.)
Barbara Gilfillan: I think they should be trapped and dispatched
and immediately!!
Jeff Henrikson: The results of our decision be permanent and that
it not be brittle enough to brake under pressure!, after it is
publicized.
i Jim Scoville: Trap and dispatch seems most humane and safest way to
get the problem under control...fast.
Mary Wahlutrand: I believe very strongly that action needs to be
taken to decrease and control deer population of Wood Lake. It is
sad to see the results of deer overpopulation on Wood Lake.
Arnie Auchstetter: Shoot.
Daniel Manhood: If you do nothing a lot of these deer are going to
starve. Another thing is to have a special bowhunt.
Sharon Mattson: Let's be responsible for a situation we've allowed
to perpetuate. Don't let them starve. I've watched them forage in
my yard and it shouldn't continue for the sake of the deer. Shoot
them in a humane-safe manner.
David Paxson: We live one house away from Wood Lake. For at least
the past 2 years we have thought that the deer numbers have needed
to be reduced drastically. We have watched what they have done to
the foliage in the Center! Now, this fall, we have grown even more
concerned (and frustrated and angry) as we have seen no action
taken when it should have been and as we find deer in our yard a
number of times eating our foliage as well. I have no strong
preference as to the method of removal. But, I do have "strong
.preference" that they be removed/greatly reduced in number, and
soon!
Irene M. Dahl, 6615 Lakeshore Drive, daytime 861-2035: The deer
will come and go but we must save our fine Wood Lake park.

I have been very disappointed in the way WLKNCTR has
dealt with the deer problem, and there attitude tvords the deer.
Why did WLKNCTR turn a blind eye to the deer Problem, until
there only solution would be to ust, the quick fix, and kill
all but one or two deer?
Why didn't we find an effective, harmoneous way for nature
and the deer in WLKNCTR to survive before it exceeded the
Biological Carrying Capacity?
What can we do to prevent this from happening again,
because it is an emotional, heartbreaking issue for those
of us who come to the WLKNCTR specifically because we love
seeing the deer.
Most of these deer have been born in the WLKNCTR, and have
become very tame and dependant on us for food because they are
trapped inside a city surrounded by busy streets and freeways
with no natural habitat for them to move to. City Ordinance
or not people will not watch these deer starve to death.
These deer are an important, beautiful part of nature and
give the young and old alike something that touches our hearts
in a special way. We have had a rare opportunity here at very
close range to experience the majestic beauty of the bucks,
and the tenderness of the does caring for their fawns, and the
innocent, carefree, playfullness of the young fawns.
The Wildlife Management Committee, and the City Council
needs to be compassionate to the feelings of the many people
who care for the future of the deer, and come here often just
to see the deer.
It is unrealistic to expect the WLKNCTR to be able to
return to its original habitat quality. The deer are here now,
and they will continue to move in and out because the surround-
ing areas have an overflow of deer. Killing them all now will
not solve. this problem only cause more distress to an already
highly emotional issue.
Please be fair when deciding on an acceptable number of deer
to be left, and respect the feelings of the large number of ,
people who come to this Park just because they love seeing the
deer, and the tranquility it provides them with.

To whom it may concern:
I did not know there was going to be an open house on Tuesday, December 6 at Wood Lake
Nature Center regarding the fate of the deer.
I am very opposed to destroying the deer. I would be a significant contributor to feeding them. I
would not like to see another situation like the one in Minnetonka where they trap and kill them.
We have enough weeds and don't need them as much as we need the deer.
I take my nieces, nephews and family to the Nature Center. We love seeing the deer. I know my
family would also like to feed them.

Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Do Nothing
Pro: No comments provided.
Con: -
Doing nothing means further destruction of all habitat and eventual
starvation of the herd. Jim and Judith Scoville (FOWL)
Doing nothing caused the deer population to overgrow the Center.
Jim Cohen
Ditto. D. Czupryna
Doing nothing means further to total destruction of our habitat for
all natural life - further destruction of the neighborhood around
Wood Lake and more accidents to cars and people injured!
If you do nothing a lot of the deer will starve to death. Daniel
Manhood
• A policy must be implemented to control the deer herd so that the
Nature Center and the deer can both be healthy.
Save the Nature Center - not the deer! A. Bruce
Stop feeding!
Save the Nature Center including the deer -
Doing nothing is not a solution in this case; the problem is here
and must be solved. With no natural predators, deer are like
rodents, they multiply rapidly and become very destructive!! Ron
Bender
I agree with comments regarding taking action immediately. Do
what's best for Nature Center and deer. Don't let the deer starve
and suffer. Dorothy Lindberg
Allowing deer to starve to death is cruel and unnecessary. P.M.
Gilfillan
Don't let the deer starve to death.

Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Hunting
Pro:
I would-be for this if it would be a fair natural hunt. But deer
trust humans so would just stand there.
If it can be done safely - is bow hunting a safer alternative? Jim
and Judith Scoville
If done right with trained hunters a bowhunt would be the lowest
cost solution. Larry Kavanagh
I think there should be a special bowhunt for the deer. Daniel
Manhood
Hunting with a bow from an elevated stand is both very safe as well
as humane. S.P.M.
If professional sharpshooter could do it with no chance of hitting
. park visitors.
Bow and arrow hunting would be safe and humane if hunters were
skilled.
Not with bow and arrow, please! D. Lindberg
Con:
A bad solution because the field of fire cannot be properly
controlled. High-powered weapons (long guns,-shotguns, and bows)
are too powerful to be used in this urban setting. Jim Cohen
It would "upset" people who believe that deer have "feelings" too
and tend to put animals on the same level as humans. Politically
incorrect but probably the best choice. These same people who want
to protect these deer would change their minds if they were to
watch these deer as they drove down 35E. Steve Manhood
No hunting open - trap and kill most effective, safe and humane for
the deer.
No open hunting - the quickest death is the most humane.
No open hunting.
No - dangerous if opened to public! D. Lindberg

Page 3 of 6
Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Sharpshooting
Pro:
Probably the safest and most humane way - to trap and dispatch
might-cause more fear and suffering. The trust the deer have does
not create an ethical objection, for it means they can be killed
more quickly and with less fear. Jim and Judith Scoville
Humane if area is large enough not to endanger humans. Sharon
Mattson
Skilled bow hunters, use the food.
If can be done with no danger to people.
There is good location in the S.E. corner that will geographically
accommodate this. To control the herd in this way is good!
Questionable, depending on method used - when and how. D. Lindberg
. Con:
NO
Dangerous within City limits.
Unethical to deer who are tamed to humans. Eating out of peoples
hands.. We have taught them to trust us.
Again, because of the potential difficulty in controlling the field
of fire, this is not as good a solution-as trap and dispatch. And
trap and dispatch should only be implemented if trap and relocate
is not acceptable to the DNR. Jim Cohen
These deer are "public" property and as a result could be treated
as such by having a lottery to harvest the deer (all). SPM
No - Sharpshooting not safe in this close city surroundings.
No - This could create problems for residents and is not being fair
to the deer.

Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Trap and Relocate
Pro:
Jackie Hussman
Helen Lapakko: Again we have tamed these deer to not fear humans,
to shot them seems unethical, so relocate and learn to keep herd to
desired number or have no deer. Seems there are no natural
predators for them.
Trap and relocate the does and fawns - Mille Lacs Wildlife Refuge.
H. Hussman
Trap and relocate all to Tarcott Wildlife Refuge in southwest Minn.
Trap and relocate; keep up to 6 fawns.
If this solution is acceptable to the DNR, trap and relocate all
but 6. Keep the dominate male, the alpha females and 4 others.
• Jim Cohen
Con:
Everywhere else has plenty of deer, too. We see this as a solution
only if other options won't work or get enough public support. Jim
and Judith Scoville
Just talked to Dave Sheed - DNR deer expert. Tried unsuccessfully
in Milan, Wis. Cost was $500 per deer. Kept head bands on deer.
Within.3 months 90% of the deer died. Deer counts in Northern U.S.
never higher. Putting deer up north only adds to overpopulation
problem. Letting deer starve is least humane method. Therefore,
only solution left is controlled killing! Respectfully, Lew
Workman
There is nowhere in Minnesota that is short on deer. Larry
Kavanagh
Deer population is abundant everywhere in the state. S. Mattson
This has been tried before. Too expensive and the animal is too
fragile.
Too costly, many deer will die and/or be injured. Who's "back
yard" are you going to put them in?
. A danger to hikers and walking. We don't need a law suit!.
Too stressful to relocate deer. Do what's best for the animals.

Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Trap and Dispatch
Pro:
Fran Higgins
Norma McIntyre
Emily Day: Because there will soon be NO Nature Center for them or
all the other plants and animals that would enjoy the place.
Garnett Kirchner: The only reasonable solution.
Keep one buck, five does, get rid of the rest.
Helen Lapakko: If it comes down to shooting this seems the safest
to the community. It would be the best of three evils:
sharpshooting, hunting, trap-dispatch.
The question is whether this or sharpshooting is the most humane
and effective way to deal with the problem. That may be a question
for the experts.
If trap and relocate is unacceptable to the DNR, this becomes the
only remaining possibility. Jim Cohen
If sharpshooting is not allowed, this would be the ONLY solution.
D. Czupryna
This is a workable solution. Larry Kavanagh
Make sure the public using the park does not have to see this
during park hours . . .
Yes! and use the food.
This appears to be an excellent solution, both efficient and
humane. Much better than the deer decimating our property in
search of food - then probably starving to death anyway. Ron
Bender
Yes and soon! B. Gilfillan
It's the most humane method! D. Lindberg
• Yes! Charlotte and Chester Eggen
Con:
"Trapping" will put undue stress on these deer, also may injure
them as a result.
Trapping could result in injury to the deer as well as trapper

Page 6 of 6
Written comments provided by those attending Open House related to
possible solutions:
Solution: Other
Pro:
Keep one buck and five does. Get rid of the rest.
Get rid of all but 6-10 does by whatever means is necessary. Set
up a feeding program to furnish hay and corn and salt block. Allow
public to feed deer if they desire. Robert Clinite, 6615 Lake
Shore Drive
Work harder to prevent feeding. Jim G.
Since all the deer habitat is going fast, in order to keep any
birds, rabbits, etc. etc. we may have to pay for fencing that can
keep the deer out and let plants and animals start to reintroduce.
Employ birth control methods when they are finally perfected.
Since control of the deer population in the Center will have to be
done on an annual basis, look to this solution in the future. Jim
• Cohen
Trap deer daily and kill all unwanted deer. A.A.
It is necessary to trim the herd because the area cannot support
this number of deer. I believe 6 should be kept and in the future
these deer should be properly maintained by a combination of
solutions, perhaps: 1) birth control, 2) volunteer supplemental
feeding, 3) specific vegetation grown for browsing, 4) keeping
number down on a yearly basis, 5) improve control of unwanted deer
entering Center.
Con:
It is regrettable that the problem has gone on so long and there
has been such devastating destruction because that probably means
it will be a long time before Wood Lake can support any deer.

CITY OF RICHFIELD
RESOLUTION NO. 7380
RESOLUTION SPECIFYING CERTAIN IMPROPER

LICENSEES AND STATING RECOMMENDED
DISCIPLINE THEREFOR
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield
as follows:
I. BACKGROUND STATFMF.NT
The City of Richfield annually issues a number of licenses
•
0 which is detrimental to the public safety, health, morals and
permitting the on-sale sale of intoxicating liquor within the
City. The conduct of the licensed activity is governed by the
provisions of Section 1200 of the City Code. Although, the
provisions of that Section describe in a general way what is
expected of licensees in the proper conduct of the licensed
activity, the City Council is concerned that licensees should
have a more specific understanding of the types of conduct,
generally described in the Code, which may subject their licenses
to discipline; and further that they have a clear understanding
of the scope and nature of the discipline which may be imposed
for certain specific conduct. The levels of discipline described
in this resolution will be imposed only in accordance with the
applicable provisions of law. The list of activities and conduct
contained in this resolution is not intended to be exhaustive,
but rather concentrates on the types of conduct most frequently
observed at licensed establishments. Other activity or conduct
0 up to 10 days and `a civil fine of $2,000 for each
incident.
b) For ten (10) such incidents occurring within less than a
61-day period (beginning with the date of the first of

day period (beginning with the date of the first of such
incidents) - suspension of the license for up to 60 days
and a civil fine of $2,000 for each incident.
The discipline outline above is intended to be cumulative in
• nature, and incidents which give rise to discipline (or the right
to discipline) during a shorter period may be counted in
determining whether discipline is appropriate during a longer
period.

report made to the director of public safety by the licensee or
a complaint made by others concerning an incident constituting a
crime under the City Code or the laws.of the State of Minnesota,
which, in the opinion of the director, is directly attributable
to the licensed activity.
Verified reports of criminal misconduct do not of necessity
mean requests for service, and licensees shall not be required to
• make requests for service in situations where the licensee is
Open Bottle Law. The following discipline may be imposed upon
• on-sale intoxicating beverage licenses:
a) The first incident during the license year - up to a 10-
day suspension and $2,000 civil fine.
b) The second incident during the license year - up to a
.30-day suspension and $2,000 civil fine.
c) The third incident during the license year - up to a 60-
day suspension and $2,000 civil fine.
d) The fourth incident during the license year - revocation
of license.

Issue Statement:
Renewal of 1995 on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses for Chi-Chi's,
Inc., d/b/a Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurante, 7717 Nicollet Avenue.
Background:
On December 1, 1994, the City received the renewal applications
and other required documents for the on-sale and Sunday liquor
licenses for Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurante. The applicant has
paid the required license fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and
reveals the following:
? The corporate structure of the organization has changed from
last year. They have undergone a name change which has
affected the officers and directors positions. A copy of the
list of officers and directors of the corporation is attached
to this letter. Robert Schmidt continues to serve as the
General Manager of the restaurant. The background
investigation concerning their name change has not yet been
completed as of the printing of this Council letter, however,
the new officers have no known criminal record. While changes
have occurred over the past year with this company's corporate
structure, they have been slow to notify Public Safety of these
changes.
? All general sales, real estate and withholding taxes have been
paid and are current.
? The lease agreement between the applicant and the property
owner, Maro-Max Company, continues to be in effect with all
lease payments being current.
? The $10,000 bond will be submitted as soon as possible.
? The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage has
been received showing Travelers Insurance Company as affording
the required coverage. Proof of workers' compensation
insurance coverage was also supplied.
? An accountant's statement has been prepared and submitted.
This statement covers the period from November 1993 through
October 1994 and indicates that food sales accounted for 61% of
the total sales, while liquor sales accounted for 39% of the
total sales.
From November 1993 through October 1994, there were 59 Public
Safety contacts with Chi Chi's. This compares with 61 contacts
for the previous year. A breakdown of these contacts is attached
to this letter.
Environmental health staff received two complaints in 1994
regarding Chi-Chi's. Both complaints involved food poisoning.
The Bloomington Health Department was notified and no further
complaints have been received by staff.
On-sale and Sunday liquor licenses require owners of these
establishments to comply with Resolution No. 7380, which outlines
discipline they can expect if any ongoing problems occur. A copy
of this resolution has been given to the owner of the
establishment and a copy is also attached to this letter.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1995 on-sale and Sunday liquor
licenses for Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurante with the following
stipulations:
1. That the requirements are met in Resolution No. 7380.
2. That their $10,000 bond is received as soon as possible.
3. Provide Public Safety with any changes in their corporate
structure in a more timely basis in the future.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
• City Codes and State Statutes pertaining to on-sale and
Sunday liquor licensing with the exception of the submittal
of their $10,000 bond.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to
deny the renewal of the licenses requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing, however, if
the hearing is continued beyond January 1, 1995, the Council
should consider the granting of a license extension to allow
the applicant to continue to sell liquor until the
rescheduled hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses.
Any suspension or revocation must, according to Minnesota
State Statute 340A.415, be based upon a finding that the
licensee has failed to comply with an applicable statute,
rule or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. The
Council must also note that no revocation or suspension takes
effect until the licensee has been afforded an opportunity
for a hearing under Section 14.57 to 14.70 of the
Administrative Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation
relating to alcoholic beverages and therefore, it is
recommended that the licenses not be revoked or suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the requests for the renewal of
Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurante on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses
has been scheduled for December 12, 1994. These licenses expire
January 1, 1995. Therefore, if the Council decides to continue
the hearing beyond December 12, any subsequent hearing should be
held before the licenses expire.

total sales.
From November 1993 through October 1994, there were 54 Public
Safety contacts with the American Legion. This compares with 40

Recommended Motion:
Approve the renewal of the 1995 club on-sale and Sunday liquor
licenses for Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post 435 with the
following stipulations:
1. That the requirements are met in Resolution No. 7380.
2. That their $10,000 bond is received as soon as possible.
3. That their required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage
and proof of workers' compensation insurance information is
submitted as soon as possible.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
City Codes and State Statutes pertaining to club on-sale and
Sunday liquor licensing with the exception of the submittal of
their $10,000 bond, their required proof of liquor liability
insurance coverage and proof of workers' compensation insurance
information.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to deny
the renewal of the licenses requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to continue the hearing, however, if the
hearing is continued beyond January 1, 1995, the Council should
• consider the granting of a license extension to allow the
applicant to continue to sell liquor until the rescheduled
hearing can be conducted.
2. The Council could decide to suspend or revoke the licenses. Any
suspension or revocation must, according to Minnesota State
Statute 340A.415, be based upon a finding that the licensee has
failed to comply with an applicable statute, rule or ordinance
relating to alcoholic beverages. The Council must also note that
no revocation or suspension takes effect until the licensee has
been afforded an opportunity for a hearing under Section 14.57 to
14.70 of the Administrative Procedure Act.
It appears that the licensee has not committed any violation
relating to alcoholic beverages and therefore, it is recommended
that the licenses not be revoked or suspended.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the requests for the renewal of
Minneapolis-Richfield American Legion Post 435 club on-sale and
Sunday liquor licenses has been scheduled for December 12, 1994.
These licenses expire January 1, 1995. Therefore, if the Council
decides to continue the hearing beyond December 12, any subsequent
hearing should be held before the licenses expire.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No.333
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Request for an amended planned unit development plan/final
development plan and conditional use permit with respect to Phase
I of the CSM Redevelopment Project.
Background:
The current final development plan for Phase I was approved on
August 1, 1994 and consisted of 116,605 square feet of retail
space, as follows:
? Anchor A tenant (SportMart); 43,968 square feet-west building
? Anchor B tenant; 15,561 square feet-middle building
? Anchor C tenant (Best Buy); 57,076 square feet-east building
CSM is proposing to increase the Phase I building area to 127,366
square feet. The increase would be realized by adding
approximately 10,500 square feet to the Anchor B (middle) tenant
space, to be occupied by PetSmart.
The parking ratio for the proposed plan amendment would be 4.55
spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross building area, for a total
of 579 spaces. The City requires a minimum of 4.0 spaces per
• 1,000 square feet of gross building area for retail uses.
The proposed amendment is similar to the original Phase I plan,
which was later scaled back to provide a more favorable parking
ratio for Phase I, due to uncertainty over who would develop
Phase II. On November 1, 1994, the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) selected CSM to develop Phase II.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the amended planned unit development plan/final
development plan and conditional use permit for Phase I of the
CSM Redevelopment Project with the following stipulation:
1. That a veterinary clinic not be located in the Phase I area.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposal is consistent with the Interstate-Lyndale-
Nicollet (ILN) Redevelopment Plan and Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Phase I site is capable of supporting the additional
square footage of building space as proposed.
3. The number of parking spaces to be provided would exceed the
City's parking standard.
. 4. The loading area would be adequate.
• 5. The City Council recently determined that a veterinary clinic
is not appropriate for this type of setting.
6. On December 6, 1994, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal.
Alternative Recommendation:
The Council could deny the amended planned unit development
plan/final development plan and conditional use permit for Phase
I of the CSM Redevelopment Project with a finding that the
amendment would have adverse effects on surrounding properties or
the City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December
12, 1994. 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.

• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No-332
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of the adoption of a resolution
approving the redevelopment plan and the establishment of a
redevelopment project at 6601 Bloomington Avenue.
Background:
Mr. Charles Ehlers, D.D.S. and Mr. James Koller, D.D.S. propose
to own and occupy a new dental clinic at 66th Street and
Bloomington Avenue. The 6,000 square foot facility (3,000 square
feet on the first floor and a like amount in the basement) would
be constructed by Belair Builders Inc. of New Brighton. It would
replace the existing car wash.
At their meeting on November 21, 1994, the HRA took three
actions. They adopted a resolution approving the establishment
of the East 66th Street Redevelopment Project Area which includes
only the 6601 Bloomington property; they approved the attached
redevelopment plan; and a loan of $50,000 to assist the
redevelopment. (This is not a tax increment project.) It should
be noted that the existing taxes from the site total $4,700.
With a dental office, the total tax revenue could be as high as
• $38,700. These increased funds could be available beginning in
1997.
The attached redevelopment plan reflects the requirements of
state law and makes it possible for the HRA to provide the noted
assistance. The table of contents provides an outline of the
five page document which contains a statement of public purpose,
goals and objectives, description of the site and activities to
be undertaken.
Mr. Winkles of Belair Builders will be present at the Council
meeting to respond to questions. Attached is a preliminary site
plan. If the project proceeds, the Council will be requested to
consider an off-street parking contract for this development at a
future date.
Recommended Motion:
Hold the public hearing and adopt the attached resolution which
approves the redevelopment plan and the establishment of a
redevelopment project.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The HRA found the site to be in need of redevelopment due to
poor conditions.
2. The Planning Commission found the proposed development to be
• in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan on December 6,
1994.
5,-1
• 3. The current use has been a nuisance to the adjoining
residential area.
4. The existing zoning will accommodate this development.
5. The site plan is sensitive to the adjoining residential uses
to the south as it provides for open space and landscaping
along the southern edges..
6. The public hearing notice was published in the Sun-Current on
November 30, 1994.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Delay action.
2. Reject the redevelopment plan and project.
•
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The dentists would like to proceed with this project as they are
severely crowded in their office at 56th Street and Chicago
Avenue.
Respect ly submitted,

EAST 66TH STREET REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA PLAN
• A. STATEMENT OF PUBLIC PURPOSE
It is found that the public interest requires the replanning, reconstruction, and
rehabilitation of neighborhoods; that in order to protect the overall economic stability of the
community, particularly its commercial areas, it is necessary to redevelop and remedy conditions
of underutilized land, economic obsolescence, and physical blight; that in order to create an
economic environment which fosters the growth of a healthy commercial base and facilitates the
redevelopment of land, it is necessary to encourage private enterprise to engage in redevelopment
to be constructed in accordance with a comprehensive community plan.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota
(the "HRA") and the City Council of the City of Richfield (the "City") have determined that
public intervention is necessary in the East 66th Street Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project
Area") in order to achieve set goals and objectives for proper redevelopment of the area.
B. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a redevelopment project in the Project Area
and the redevelopment activities proposed in the redevelopment plan relating thereto is conferred
upon the BRA pursuant to and in accordance with the Housing and Redevelopment Authorities
Act (the "Act"), Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.001 to 469.047. Specifically, Minnesota
Statutes. Section 469.027 establishes the requirements for redevelopment plan preparation by an
HRA prior to undertaking property acquisition, relocation, and redevelopment.
C. STATEMENT OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The HRA determines that it is necessary, desirable, and in the public interest to undertake
a redevelopment project in the City pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes. Chapter
469.
The following goals and objectives are intended to serve as a basis for guiding the
development and redevelopment of the proposed project area:
1.) To facilitate the acquisition of land or space which is vacant, unused or
underused;
2.) To facilitate the redevelopment of land for the construction of a
contemporary professional office building;
3.) To achieve a high level of design and landscaping quality in order to
enhance the surrounding physical environment;
• 4.) To facilitate the removal of nuisance uses adjacent to residential uses;
5.) To create effective buffers, screens and transitions between residential and
non-residential uses;
6.) To improve the commercial property tax base of the City and other taxing
jurisdictions;
7.) To provide increased employment opportunities and improve the income
base of the state; and
8.) - To provide maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the city and
other local jurisdictions, for development by private enterprise.
D. DESCRIPTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
In order to guide the development and redevelopment in the Project Area, the HRA has
created this redevelopment plan. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. Sec. 469.002, subd. 12, the
proposed project meets the definition of a redevelopment project. More specifically, Minnesota
Statutes. Sec. 469.002, subd. 14, states that a "`Redevelopment project' means any work or
undertaking:
1) to acquire blighted areas and other real property for the purpose of
removing, preventing, or reducing blight, blighting factors, or the causes of blight;
• 2) to clear any areas acquired and install, construct or reconstruct streets,
utilities, and site improvements essential to the preparation of site for uses in
accordance with the redevelopment plan;
(3) to sell or lease land so acquired for uses in accordance with the
redevelopment plan;
(4) to prepare a redevelopment plan, and to incur initiation, planning,
survey and other administrative costs of a redevelopment project, and to prepare
technical and financial plans and arrangements for buildings, structures, and
improvements and all other work in connection therewith."'
The redevelopment project area boundary is site specific to the project and encompasses
all that real property within an area described as follows:
The North 250.feet of the West 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4 of
the Southeast 1/4 of Section 26, Township 28, Range 24, except streets, Hennepin
County, Minnesota.

57--1
E. DEVELOPMENTACTIMUS AND AGREEMENTS
• General
The objectives of this Redevelopment Plan will be accomplished pursuant to the authority
granted to the HRA by the Act.
Redevelopment within the Project Area must be financially feasible, marketable, and
compatible with long range redevelopment plans of the City and HRA. The following
development activities are appropriate for the area in light of current redevelopment
opportunities:
1.) Land acquisition;
2.) Site clearance; and
3.) Site improvements.
Any and all proposals by the developer will be reviewed by the HRA to determine
conformance with the redevelopment plan and applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To
facilitate this effort, the following documents may be requested for review and approval:
1.) Site plan;
2.) Construction, mechanical, and electrical system drawings;
3.) Landscaping plan;
• 4.) Grading and storm drainage plan;
5.) Signage system plan; and
6.) Any other drawings or narrative deemed by the HRA to demonstrate the
conformance of the development with the redevelopment plan.
It is the intention of the HRA that the majority of the redevelopment activities, including
but not limited to acquisition, relocation, site clearance, and improvements be directly undertaken
by the developer with assistance when and where appropriate from the HRA.
Description of Anticipated Private Development Activities
The proposal for redevelopment of the project area calls for the acquisition, site clearance,
and construction of a new commercial, dental office building and related parking. The subject
land is owned by a private, third party. Currently and since approximately 1965, the site has been
occupied by a self-service car wash business with four stalls.
The new commercial dental office building is expected to accommodate a dental clinic for
three dentists. The dentists have outgrown their current space in an adjacent community and have
sought Richfield as an appropriate community to locate to. The commercial office building will
approximate 6,000 square feet in size, including finished space on the lower level. The site will
also accommodate parking and landscaping.
3
Description of Anticipated Public Development Activities
• The proposed public development activities in the redevelopment project area would be
undertaken by the HRA and City in order to support the private development activities and
facilitate redevelopment of the area in a manner suitable to overall development plans. These
activities include direct financial assistance to the developers for project costs and indirect
assistance to the project for acquiring and extinguishing a leasehold interest in the subject
property. Redevelopment activities would be contingent upon the mutual agreements set forth in
a Contract for Private Redevelopment.
F. PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT COST; PROCEEDS; FINANCING
The HRA determines that the funding of the necessary activities and improvements in the
redevelopment project area shall be accomplished through the use of the revenue in the HRA's
Development Fund. Specifically, the developers will obtain a $50,000 loan from the HRA for the
dental office project in order to relocate the tenant from the property through a leasehold interest
buyout.
As the HRA will not acquire any land directly, no capital proceeds from land sale are
expected.
G. PROPOSED LAND USE
• The current land use in the redevelopment project area is zoned C-2, General Commercial.
The proposed redevelopment project would be consistent with permitted uses in the C-2, General
Commercial District.
H. ACQUISITION, RELOCATION, AND REHABILITATION ACTIVITIES
Acquisition
As stated previously, the HRA does not intend to acquire any real property for the
project. However, it is intended that the developers will acquire the following
property in order to assemble land for redevelopment, according to the objectives
set forth in this plan:
PID # 26-028-24-41-0004
Legal Description: The north 250 feet of the West 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of the
Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 26, Township 28, Range 24, except
streets, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
2. Relocation
The existing car wash business must be removed from the site for the proposed
development.
4
57--/5.
3. Rehabilitation Program
• No rehabilitation is currently intended in the Redevelopment Project Area.
L ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed redevelopment project does not present any permanent environmental
problems. All municipal actions, public improvement, and private development shall be carried
out in a manner that will enhance, rather than detract, from the natural environment.. All
necessary environmental permits and clearances will be obtained by the developer.
J. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN MODIFICATION
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. Section 469.029, subdivision 6, a redevelopment plan
may be modified at any time provided that the HRA and City Council adopt such modifications
upon the notice and after the public hearing required for the original adoption of the
redevelopment plan. If the HRA determines the necessity of changes in an approved
redevelopment plan or approved modification thereof, which changes do not alter or affect the
exterior boundaries, or do not substantially alter or affect the general land uses established in such
plan, then such changes shall not constitute a modification of the Redevelopment Plan nor require
approval by the governing body of the political subdivision in which the project is located.
K. ADMINISTRATION OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
•
The administration of the redevelopment project area will be undertaken by HRA officials.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 331
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 to print the 1995 Spring Leisure
Services brochure.
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.
Seasonal recreation brochures are distributed to each residence
in the City. Historically, the City has contracted on an annual
basis with a company to produce four quarterly brochures.
However, due to anticipated year long changes in computer
technology there appeared to be value in separately contracting
for printing of each seasonal brochure for 1995.
Informal specifications were distributed to 36 vendors. Eight
quotations were received as follows:

There were two options to quote:
Specified Paper: Includes all printing services with assistance
from the City for layout and artwork. The
City will also provide a camera ready cover.
The publication is printed on bond paper.
Recycled Paper: Includes everything in above option, except
the publication is printed on recycled paper.
The City made recycling efforts in several areas including the
printing process of previous brochures. The staff is
recommending to use recycled paper as a part of this purchase.
Although though there is an additional cost, the cost is minimal.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize a purchase order for the 1995 spring seasonal brochure
to Artcraft Press, Inc. in the amount of $5,738.56 which includes
all printing services required with the publication printed on
recycled paper.
qT- t
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Artcraft Press, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible quote.
2. There are sufficient funds available for this purchase.
Alternate Recommendation:
1. Have Artcraft Press, Inc. do the work on the specified paper.
However, the cost savings would be only $7.17.
2. Accept a quotation from another vendor. However, Artcraft
Press, Inc. submitted the lowest quotation and has previously
worked with the City on publication of quarterly brochures.
3. The Council may choose to reject all quotations and/or direct
staff to obtain additional quotations. However, this could
affect the publishing date for the spring brochure in 1995.
Based on the number of quotations solicited, staff feels
additional and/or lower quotes are unlikely.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The quotations received December 2, 1994 are to remain in effect
for a period of 30 days. December 12, 1994 is the only Council
meeting to fall within this time period. Council should take
action at this time.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 330
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for an automatic production bedknife
grinder for Rich Acres Golf Course.
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.
The golf course maintenance has over 50 reels and bedknife type
mower cutting units. Reels and bedknives are all ground
(sharpened) during the winter. Due to wear and damage from
spikes, rocks, and so forth, the bedknives are reground and/or
replaced several times during the cutting season.
Currently, a 12 year old manual sharpener is being used. Parts
are hard to obtain for this unit. The new automatic unit is
faster, more accurate and safer. It has a flood coolant system
that prevents heat warping of the bedknife and controls grinding
dust. Once the bedknife is set up on the unit, the mechanic can
work on other aspects of the sharpening process. An automatic
sharpener would repair cutting units faster and produce less
"down" time as well as being safer for the operator.
Staff solicited quotations and the following quotes have been
received:
M.T.I. Distributing Inc. $7,921
Less Trade-In -1,500
Total 6 421
Erv's Lawn Mower Repair $8,450
Less Trade-In -650
Total 7 800
Neary Manufacturing
No Trade In
Recommended Motion:
Approve a purchase order to M.T.I. Distributing Inc. for a total
of $6,421 plus tax-for automatic bedknife grinder.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The old sharpening unit is no longer able to keep up with the
quality, quantity or safety demands of the golf course
operation.
2. The Neary Model 270 production bedknife sharpening machine
will increase productivity and safety.
qT- i
3. There are adequate funds in the Golf Course Enterprise Fund
to cover this expense.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to reject all quotations and instruct staff to
rebid. However, staff does not believe we can obtain a better
price from a reputable manufacturer or distributor.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the December 12, 1994 City Council agenda.

Council Letter No. 329
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Approval of a purchase order in
pickup and recycling collection
facilities.
excess of $5,000 for 1995 trash
services at City-owned
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.
Trash pickup is required at all City facilities on a regular
basis. In addition, recycling collection of newspaper, glass,
cans, plastic and cardboard was added in the past couple of
years. Most sites haul their recycling items to City Hall;
however, the Golf Course requires a separate pick up for
cardboard during their busy season. In 1994, the City requested
formal bids for trash hauling. The bids were very competitive,
and Quality Waste Control was the lowest bidder who would honor
their bid at an estimated cost of $19,944.94. The actual year-
end total came to $19,324.94 without recycling,costs. The trash
. hauling cost included a Minnesota Waste Assessment Fee, which was
$499.52 in 1994. The Minnesota State Legislature increased this
fee from $.12 per loose yard to $.60 per loose yard, effective
January 1, 1995. The fee applies to every hauler in the state.
Quality Waste Control has agreed to renew the 1994 price for
1995, with the addition of the increased Waste Assessment Fee.
The fee for 1995 will increase overall by $1,980.08. The cost
will be split between all of the sites who receive trash pickup
services.
The various sites budget

Recommended Motion:

1. Quality Waste Control has been a cooperative hauler in the
past year, often making extra trips to accommodate major
recycling loads.
9 2. Proposed 1995 budgets include funding for this service.

order to provide uninterrupted service to City facilities.

computerized cash register and inventory system for the municipal
liquor operation.
Background:
In the spring of 1992, the City purchased a computerized cash
register and inventory system for the liquor stores. An upgrade
to this system is now available which offers enhancements of
benefit to the City. Liquor Operation, Finance and Central
Services staff have reviewed the new features contained in the
package and recommend that the City acquire the upgrade.
The computerized liquor system was purchased from Total Register
Systems (TRS) in April 1992 based on competitive bids. The City
also contracted with TRS to provide support and maintenance for
the system. TRS is the only vendor of this system for the liquor
industry in Minnesota. The upgrade proposed by TRS consists of
both hardware and software changes for $8,892.00 plus $577.98 in
sales tax.
This purchase will be made from the Central Services Fund from
• monies budgeted for the replacement of out-of-date equipment and
upgrading of the City's computer capabilities. The liquor
operation will pay a monthly rental charge back to the Central
Services Fund to cover the cost of the upgrade.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the City Manager to purchase an upgrade to the City's
computerized cash register and inventory system for the liquor
operation in the amount of $9,469.98 from Total Register Systems
of New Hope, Minnesota.
Basis for Recommendation:
The upgrade contains features which will increase efficiency and
reduce errors:
1. The upgrade will allow the liquor operation to implement
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with its vendors.
With an EDI system, the vendors will send their invoices to
the City electronically. The upgraded software will then
automatically post the invoice to the inventory system. This
will eliminate the need to manually key every item received
into the computer which will reduce errors and free up many
hours of staff time for other tasks. Such a system could
likely be operational in 1995 with vendor participation.
2. Some functions will process significantly faster with the
upgrade, such as updating the price lookup files in the cash
y c-- i
• registers. Other functions provide additional controls for
the store managers to reduce errors.
3. The upgrade provides a multi-user environment. Currently,
only one person at a time can access the system.
4. The multi-user environment in combination with EDI will also
provide the store management with a real-time inventory. The
multi-user environment allows sales from the cash registers
to be posted to the quantity on hand as each sale occurs.
EDI will allow purchases to be posted to the quantity on hand
virtually as soon as the product comes through the door.
5. The upgrade also makes it possible to use hand held scanning
devices to take inventory in the store. The scanning devices
are not a part of this proposal, but the capability to
incorporate them at a later date is.
Alternative Recommendation:
Staff have only received the assurance of one major vendor that
they will participate in EDI with the City. The Council could
delay this purchase decision until staff have secured the
cooperation of other vendors. However, even if it takes longer
than anticipated to implement the EDI portion of the upgrade, the
other advantages can be realized immediately.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 327
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Purchase in the amount of $33,712.71 for personal computers,
software and services for various City divisions.
Background:
The City is converting its computer system to a personal computer
(PC) network. The process began almost two years ago in the
Public Safety Department. Since that time, Community
Development, Central Services and portions of Community Services
have also been converted.
The next group of users scheduled for conversion to PCs includes
7 in Public Safety, 6 in Administrative Services and 4 in
Executive, for a total of 17 PCs.
Staff sent a request for sealed bids for this equipment to 12
vendors, 3 of whom are located in Richfield. Three vendors
submitted the following bids:
Portico Computers II of Bloomington, MN $35,873.17*
Blue Star Marketing of Richfield, MN $34,821.41
Unique Software of Eagan, MN $33,712.71
* The Portico bid contained a calculation error of 40.
The correct amount is reflected above.
The PCs are all 486DX2/66MHz computers with 16MB of RAM and 420MB
hard drives. The PCs have three different cabinet styles and two
different monitor sizes. Each comes with DOS and Windows
software and a five year on-site maintenance agreement (one year
on monitors). Staff recommends that the purchase be made from
the lowest bidder, Unique Software. Their total bid amount
included $31,738.00 for products and services and $1,974.71 for
sales tax.
The quoted price includes only operating system software (DOS and
Windows). If the Council authorizes this equipment purchase,
staff will purchase the remaining software needed based on
competitive quotes. This will include word processing and
spreadsheet packages totaling about $4,000.
These purchases will be made from the Central Services Fund from
monies budgeted for the replacement of out-of-date equipment and
upgrading of the City's computer capabilities.
Recommended Motion:
That the attached resolution be approved granting a contract for
49 the purchase of personal computers, software and services as
specified in the City's request for proposals dated November 22,
1994, to Unique Software of Eagan, Minnesota.
UFi
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Unique Software's proposal meets all of the City's
specifications and is the lowest bid received.
2. Staff's experience in working with Unique Software is limited
but positive. References contacted provided very favorable
endorsements of Unique's equipment and service.
3. The prices bid are competitive and are actually approximately
$100 lower per PC than 2 months ago for virtually the same
configuration.
Alternative Recommendation:
The Council may reject all of the bids and instruct staff to
either draft new specifications and seek new bids or delay the
process until some future date.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff requests approval at the December 12, 1994 Council meeting.
The bids are valid until January 4, 1995. A delay beyond this
date would require new bids.

Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for replacement standby power generator
for Penn Avenue Fire Station.
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.
Since 1991, the battery standby power at Fire Station 2 has been non-
reliable and finally non-functional. Standby power is essential in
the event of electrical power outages (during storms, etc.) to
maintain the capability of the fire/rescue crew to respond to
emergencies. The generator will provide power for radio
communication, some lighting, and for opening the garage doors.
Four vendors were contacted and proposals were received for a 22.5kw
generator:
1. Katolight Corp. 23Kw $ 8,972.00
2. Excel Energy 27Kw $12,544.00
3. Omni Energy Systems 25Kw $ 8,495.00
• 4. Flarety Equipment 23Kw $ 9,600.00
Recommended Motion:
Approve a purchase order to Omni-Energy for the purchase of a standby
power generator in the amount of $8,495.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Standby power is.essential to the operation of Fire Station 2.
2. Omni-Energy submitted the lowest quotation.
3. The 1994 Revised budget includes sufficient funds for the
generator purchase.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose not to accept any of the quotations and require
new quotes be obtained. However, staff does not believe better
prices can be obtained.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 325
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution extending completion date for St.
Nicholas Episcopal Church Special Assessment.
Background:
On August 8, 1994, the City Council adopted a resolution
approving the adequacy of the St. Nicholas Episcopal Church
special assessment petition. The petition authorizes the
execution of a Memorandum of Agreement between the petitioner and
the City of Richfield and ordering certain fire protection
improvements. The resolution also authorized the use of
Permanent Improvements Revolving (PIR) Funds to finance the
project on an interim basis and to assume the assessment roll
upon completion of the project.
The agreement approved by the City Council on August 8 provided
for the loan of $27,500 to St. Nicholas Church under the Chapter
429 Special Assessment Process for the construction of the fire
suppression system. The agreement also provided that a
completion date for all construction associated with this project
be September 30, 1994.
. During the construction phase of the project, the main contact
person from St. Nicholas Church regarding this assessment and
construction project encountered serious health problems and was
incapacitated and unable to work towards the completion of this
project. Since that time, the individual has recovered, and the
church is now working toward completing the installation of the
fire suppression system and the addition to their building,
targeting a completion date in the spring of 1995.
The resolution under consideration by the City Council would
simply extend the agreement already in place by changing the
completion date from September 30, 1994 to March 1, 1995. All
other aspects of the special assessment process have been
fulfilled according to statute and will proceed as anticipated.
The actual special assessment will not be certified by the City
until fall of 1995. In the meantime, interim financing would be
provided by the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund as indicated
in the original resolution with interest accruing from the time
the funds are loaned until the project is certified and repaid by
the church.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution amending the Memorandum of
Agreement by extending the completion date to March 1, 1995.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. St. Nicholas Church has made a good faith effort to comply
with the installation of the fire suppression system and to
complete the construction initiated in the fall of 1994.
4?-I
2. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the project was unable to be
completed as originally anticipated and an extension of time
is now necessary to allow St. Nicholas Church to fulfill
their obligations under the agreement.
3. All other aspects of the 429 process have been fulfilled, and
the assessment may proceed as originally anticipated once
this extension is granted.
4. The fire suppression system would be an asset to the
community as well as the church.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could argue that the St. Nicholas Church has
defaulted in their special assessment agreement because the
project was not completed according to the terms of the
agreement on September 30, 1994, However, if the City took
such an action, that would leave St. Nicholas Church without
a source of funding to provide for the cost of a fire
suppression system.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is requested the City Council act upon this amendment to the
agreement as soon as possible so that St. Nicholas Church may be
aware of the City's position in their request to extend the
construction time.-

Council Letter No. 324
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Approval of supplemental agreement #2 to the Agency Agreement
between Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the
City of Richfield for reimbursement of Phase I construction
engineering costs incurred by City staff and for reimbursement of
Phase II construction engineering costs on 77th Street.
Background:
Supplement .#2 to the Agency Agreement with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for Construction Engineering on the
77th Street Reconstruction Project allows MnDOT to receive
federal highway funds for use by the City on the 77th Street
Reconstruction Project.
The City Council approved both the initial Agency Agreement and
the Supplemental Agreement #1 for Construction Engineering for
the 77th Street Project on May 10, 1993. The initial agreement
only covered construction engineering costs for the demolition
work on Phase I and Supplemental Agreement #1 addressed
construction engineering work done by consultants for the balance
of construction work performed in Phase I.
• Approval of Supplement #2 will enable the City to be reimbursed
by the federal government for 80% of eligible costs for
construction engineering costs incurred by City forces on Phase I
of the 77th Street Project in the amount of $95,565 and for
construction engineering costs incurred by consultants on Phase
II in the amount of $587,511. At this time 80% of these eligible
costs are estimated to be $516,263. Actual costs will vary based
on final audited figures at the time of project completion.
The remaining eligible costs for construction engineering will be
reimbursed using Minnesota State Trunk Highway funds.
The federally ineligible portion of the costs will be split 75%
MnDOT/25% MSA (gas tax).
Recommended Motion:
Approve the 'attached resolution authorizing appropriate City
officials to sign the Supplemental Agreement.
Alternative Motion:
No alternative is offered as the recommended action since
administrative implementation of the existing agreements with
MnDOT on the 77th Street Project.
Basis of Recommendation:
• 1. A supplemental agreement is needed to reimburse the City for
80% of the costs for additional construction engineering work
done on the 77th Street Project using federal funds.
He-,- i
2. The proposed agreement is consistent with estimated costs for
the proposed work.
3. The proposed agreement is consistent with existing agreements
with MnDOT for cost participation on the 77th Street Project.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A decision is needed before the City can be reimbursed for
construction engineering costs on the 77th Street Project by the
federal government.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 323
Agenda December 12, 1994
Issue Statement:
Request for amended off-street parking permit to allow parking
expansion at 6237 Penn Avenue.
Background:
Quality Refrigeration has purchased the site formerly occupied by
Gamet Manufacturing. The building contains 22,000 square feet.
Quality Refrigeration would utilize slightly over half of the
building for office and warehouse space. The remaining space
would be divided into leasable space for up to four general
commercial uses. Tenants for the leasable area have not yet been
identified.
Under the plan, the existing 18 stall parking lot situated
between Penn Avenue and the building would be removed and
replaced with sod, landscaping, and sidewalk. A new 56 stall
parking area would be constructed in the large undeveloped area
on the north side of the building. The plan would save several
large trees in the northeast portion of the site. In addition, a
15 foot buffer yard with landscape screening would separate the
IS
parking area from the apartments to the north.
Several building improvements are included as part of the
proposal, including installation of a fire sprinkler system and
updating of the Penn Avenue facade.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the amended off-street parking permit at 6237 Penn Avenue
with the following stipulations:
1. That the City may require installation of additional parking
stalls in the future, if staff determines that parking
generated by the site exceeds on-site capacity.
2. That a cash escrow agreement be submitted for required
landscape improvements before this off-street parking permit
will become effective.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Based on building size only, parking standards would dictate
that 66 stalls be provided. However, due to the nature of
Quality Refrigeration's operation and nine employees, 11
stalls should be adequate for their use. The leasable area
would utilize the remaining 45 stalls. Overall, parking
appears to be adequate. Staff would like the ability to
• require that more stalls be added if parking problems arise
in the future.
q8_1
• 2. Drainage for this site is being handled in a regional storm
water pond. The applicant will assist in the cost of the
pond via a cash payment in lieu of on-site storm water
ponding. This arrangement has been approved by the City
Engineer.
3. The overall landscape plan meets the landscape requirements.
The applicant will provide alternative plant materials along
Penn Avenue that are tolerant to salt spray.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could modify the permit, adding or deleting
stipulations as it feels appropriate.
2. The Council could deny the off-street parking permit with a
finding that the proposal would have adverse effects on
surrounding properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Consideration of this item is scheduled on the Consent Calendar
of the December 12, 1994 City Council meeting.

The terms of appointment of an existing hearing examiner, Connie
Murray, expires this month and she has indicated a willingness to
continue.
Recommended Motion:
Confirm the City Manager's reappointment of Connie Murray to a
two year term as a Hearing Examiner.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Ms. Murray's current term expires on December 31, 1994.
• 2. Ms. Murray has experience, training and knowledge as a
Hearing Examiner and warrants reappointment.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Defer confirmation to a later Council meeting.
2. Deny confirmation of the appointment.
