CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 33
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution establishing the number of terms
for members of Advisory Boards and Commissions.
Background:
The City Council has previously approved Resolution No. 7548.
This resolution provides for a limit on the terms for Advisory
Board and Commission Members to three consecutive terms, except
in cases where there is a conflict with State Statutes or City
Ordinances.
The limitation was established because there are usually more'
volunteers to serve on Advisory Boards and Commissions than there
are openings. The policy provides for broader inclusion of
residents volunteering to serve on Advisory Boards and
Commissions. At the same time, there are occasions when there
are not sufficient volunteers to serve on certain boards and
commissions. As a result of the screening of applicants for the
1993 appointments, the Council determined that it would be
appropriate to consider revision in the policy.
Recommended Motion:
Consider a resolution changing the maximum number of consecutive
terms from three to two for Advisory Boards and Commissions.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The reduction in the number of terms encourages broader
participation on Boards and Commission.
2. There are, in many cases, more volunteers willing to serve on
Boards and Commissions than there are vacancies.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may decide not to make this change.
2. The Council may decide to provide different limitations than
those included in the attached resolution.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented for action at the Council meeting
of January 25, 1993. The resolution applies for appointments
made beginning calendar year 1994.

RESOLUTION NO.
. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE NUMBER OF
TERMS FOR MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council has established from time to
time Boards and Commissions to serve in an advisory capacity to
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, annually there are usually more volunteers to
serve on Advisory Boards and Commissions than there are
openings to fill; and.
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City Council to seek and
involve citizens as a way of adding citizen input in the policy
process; and
WHEREAS, Advisory Boards and commissions are established
with a portion of the membership terms to expire each year to
afford an opportunity for citizens who have not previously
served or may have some break in the continuity of service to
be considered for appointment; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to have some change in the
• membership from time to time to encourage volunteerism and to
facilitate broad community representation including geographic
considerations, ethnic minorities, women, youth, and
professional, business and technical people.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of Richfield as follows:
1. That this Resolution supersedes Resolution No. 7548.
2. That it shall be the policy of the City Council except
as otherwise provided by State Statutes and City
Ordinances to limit the term of any Advisory Board or
Commission Member to two consecutive terms on the same
Advisory Board or Commission unless there are fewer
applicants than positions open. For the purposes of
this resolution, appointment to serve on a Board or
Commission for a period of time greater than one-half
of a complete term shall be counted as a full term.
If the City Council appoints a citizen who has had a
break in continuous service on the same Advisory Board
or Commission, it shall be treated as a first term
appointment
3. This resolution shall be in full force and effect for
terms expiring January 31, 1994.

Council Letter No. 32
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Request from the State of Minnesota to review request for a
license for a currency exchange license for Super Cash, 6417
Lyndale Avenue.
Background:
On December 16, 1992, the City of Richfield received notification
from the State of Minnesota Department of Commerce of a renewal
application for a currency exchange license in the name of Super
Cash located at 6417 Lyndale Avenue.
A license for this type.of business is not required in the City.
However, effective on April 24, 1992, Minnesota Statute 53A.04 _
requires that the Department of Commerce submit any application
for licensure as a currency exchange to the governing body of the
municipality in which the business proposes to conduct business.
This law also requires the governing municipality to render a
decision regarding issuance or denial of the license within sixty
(60) days receipt of the State's notification.
The State requires that the applicant submit the following
information when applying for this type of license:
- License fees in the amount of $50.
- A current fee schedule used for cashing checks, money order's
or traveler's checks.
- A surety bond in the amount of $10,000.
- Any owner, partner, officer, director, stockholder (owning
10% or more of the corporate stock) or any employee with the
authority to exercise management or policy control over the
company must submit to a background investigation by the
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
All of this information has been provided to the State of
Minnesota and a background investigation conducted by the Bureau
of Criminal Apprehension found no information on the applicants,
Donald E. and Gloria Anderson. The Anderson's reside in the City
of Bloomington.
Richfield Public Safety Department has conducted a background
investigation on the applicants. There were six public safety
contacts with this establishment in 1992. They were for one
burglary, two alarms, one check forgery, one 911 call and one
warrant call.
?-i
Staff has checked with the Bloomington Public Safety Department
A and found no problems with either their home address or their
business address in that city. They have a check cashing
business in Bloomington located at 7854 Portland Avenue.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the Council pass a resolution approving of
a license issued by the State of Minnesota for Super Cash, 6417
Lyndale Avenue.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with State Statute 53A.04 for a
currency exchange license with the State of Minnesota.
2. A background.investigation of the applicants finds no reason
to recommend denial of the license.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could pass a resolution specifically disapproving
the license request, however, staff has determined that there
is no basis for this alternative.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A resolution approving of the issuance of a currency exchange
license by the State of Minnesota for Super Cash, 6417 Lyndale
Avenue, is submitted for City Council consideration at this time.

Council Letter No-31
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a request for a new 1993 on-sale wine license
and renewal of a non-intoxicating malt liquor license for Silver
Spoon Restaurant, 6700 Penn Avenue.
Background:
On December 11, 1992, the City received the new application and
other required documents for the wine and non-intoxicating malt
liquor licenses for Silver Spoon Restaurant. The applicant has
paid the required license fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and
reveals the following:
-Mr. Gin Ng has made application for an on-sale wine and non-
intoxicating malt liquor license under the name Silver Spoon
Restaurant. The corporate structure shows that Mr. Gin Ng is
serving as President, and his wife, Oi Chi Lau is Treasurer.
Mr. Gin Ng will be serving as the General Manager of the
restaurant. Mr. Gin Ng and Oi Chi Lau are the sole owners of-
the restaurant. Neither of these individuals has any known
criminal record.
-Background criminal history record checks shows that Gin Ng or
Oi Chi Lau have no known criminal history, and no outstanding
warrants.
-The lease between the applicant and the property owner, Mr.
Kenneth Youngberg, is in effect until 1995 and renewable at that
time.
-All general real estate taxes, state sales and withholding taxes
have been paid and are current.
-The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage has
been received showing Acceptance Indemnity Insurance Company as
affording the required coverage. Proof of workers' compensation
insurance has been supplied.
From January 1992 through December 1992, there were four Public
Safety contacts with Silver Spoon Restaurant. All four contacts
were.of a criminal nature. One suspicious vehicle, one forgery,
one theft and one burglary alarm. There were no environmental
health complaints received during this time period.
On-sale wine 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
is also attached to this Council Letter.
?_ I
Recommended Motion:
Approve the issuance of a new 1993 on-sale wine license and the
renewal of a non-intoxicating malt liquor license for Silver
Spoon Restaurant with the stipulation that the requirements are
met in Resolution No. 7380.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of both
City Codes and State Statutes pertaining to on-sale wine and
non-intoxicating malt liquor licenses.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted, there appears to be no reason to
deny the license requested.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to deny the request for an on-sale
wine license. This would mean that the restaurant would be
unable to serve any intoxicating liquor. They would continue
to serve non-intoxicating malt liquor only.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the request for the issuance of a
new on-sale wine and renewal of a non-intoxicating malt liquor
license for Silver Spoon Restaurant has been scheduled for
January 25, 1993 and is being presented to Council at this time.

RESOLUTION SPECIFYING CERTAIN IMPROPER
CONDUCT OF ON-SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR
LICENSEES AND STATING RECOMMENDED
DISCIPLINE THEREFOR
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield
as follows:
I. BACK O-UND STATF.MFNT
The City of Richfield annually issues a number of licenses
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
which is detrimental to the public safety, health, morals and
A
0 welfare and which constitutes a violation of the provisions of
Section 1200 of the City
discipline. The actions
with this resolution are
actions such as actions
prosecution available to
this resolution.
Code may also subject liquor licenses to
which the City may take in accordance
not intended to preclude such further
in law or in equity or criminal
the City for the conduct described in
II. SPF.OTFTO PROHTRTTFn OONniiOT ANT) PROPORPn SANCTION
A. Noise and Other ni-gtnrhiny rnndurt Within or Near the
Licensees are responsible for the conduct of their patrons while
within the licensed establishment; and of individuals within the
immediate vicinity of the establishment who are either coming to
or leaving the establishment. The City is unwilling,; to permit
the continued operation of a licensed liquor establishment in
circumstances where it is evident that the licensed activity is
having a detrimental impact upon the health, welfare, safety and
morals of the community and patrons of the establishment. The
following discipline may.be imposed upon on-sale intoxicating
liquor licenses for verified reports of criminal misconduct
occurring on or near the licensed premises and attributable to
patrons of the establishment (including persons entering or
leaving):
a) For five (5) such incidents occurring within less than a
31-day period (beginning with the date of the first of
0 such five incidents) - suspension of the license for
?-y
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
such incidents) - suspension of the license for up to 30
days and a civil fine of $2,000 for each incident.,
c) For fifteen (15) such incidents occurring,within any 91
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.
The term "verified reports of criminal misconduct" means a
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
0 make requests for service in situations where the licensee is
capable of resolving the incident without police assistance.
However, it is necessary for the City to have an accurate measure
of the level of criminal misconduct. The department of public
safety shall establish standards and criteria for the making of
such reports by the licensee. If the licensee fails to make-the
required reports of criminal misconduct in accordance with such
standards and criteria, the following additional discipline may
be imposed upon its on-sale intoxicating liquor license:
a) For the first incident of failure to report criminal
misconduct within any license year - suspension of
license for up to five days and a civil fine of $2,000.
b) For the second such incident in any license year -
suspension of license for up to 10 days and a civil fine
of $2,000.
c) For the third such incident in any license year -
suspension of license for up to 15 days and a civil fine
of $2,000.

the service and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be
confined only to those areas permitted by the license. Failure
to do so may have an evident and adverse impact upon other
activities lawfully occurring within the area and creates a
is substantial risk of criminal behavior such as violation of the

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-

of license.

Licensees are absolutely bound to prevent situations in which
the licensed premises become overcrowded. The City finds that
the opportunity to serve alcoholic beverages contributes to an
environmental wherein overcrowding, if not strictly controlled by
the licensee, may occur. Each liquor license issued shall state
the maximum occupancy limit for the licensed premises. The
following discipline may be imposed upon on-sale intoxicating
liquor licenses for incident of overcrowding verified by the
City's public safety director:
a) The first incident during the license year - up to a 10-
day license suspension and $2,000 civil fine.
0 b) The second incident during the license year - up to a
30-day suspension and $2,000 civil fine.

d) The fourth or subsequent incident during the license
year - revocation of the license.

device on the licensed premises which could be used for
gambling. Such devices include blackjack tables, video games of
chance, roulette wheels and any other amusement or gambling
• device as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 349 and 609,
and Richfield City Code Subsections 1100.13 and 1100.01

Council Letter No. 30
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for the 1992 Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Water Appropriation Permit.
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 City is required by State law to purchase an annual water
appropriation permit which allows the City to extract water for
City use from seven deep wells. The fee is based on total water
usage in a calendar year. In 1992, approximately 1,292 million
gallons was extracted from City wells.
The fee for the 1991 water appropriation permit was $5,985. The
total permit for 1992 is $5,345, a decrease of approximately
$640.
Recommended Motion:
Approve a 1993 purchase order to the Minnesota Department of
• Natural Resources for the 1992 water appropriation permit in the
amount of $5,345.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Minnesota State law requires each city to purchase a water
appropriation permit for water extraction.
2. There is $6,500 allocated in the 1993 Water Maintenance
budget for the permit.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.

Council Letter No. 29
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase of three administrative vehicles for use by the
Public Safety Department.
Background:
Three vehicles used by the Public Safety Department are fully
depreciated and due to be replaced in 1993. The three
vehicles are Units 8706, 8707 and 8709, all 1987 Pontiac
6000's. In 1991, the low bid on midsize administrative
vehicles was $11,747 per car. In 1992, the City did not buy
any vehicles of this type. Purchase of these new vehicles
has been coordinated with Hennepin County through the joint
purchasing agreement.
Thane Hawkins Polar Chevrolet submitted the low 1993 bid on
midsize administrative vehicles, bidding Chevrolet Luminas at
$11,497 per car. In 1993, the City is also buying one $45
service manual (allocating $15 per car) and the City has to
pay sales tax, which is another $748.28 per car, for a total
per-car cost of $12,260.28. The approved 1993 Central Garage
budget contains funds for the purchase of these vehicles.
Recommended Motion:
Approve a purchase order to Thane Hawkins Polar Chevrolet for
three midsize vehicles at $12,260.28 each for a total of
$36,780.84.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The three vehicles currently in the motor pool are fully
depreciated and due to be replaced in 1993.
2. The replacement is required because experience indicates
that maintenance costs and vehicle downtime increase
signficantly at this time.
3. Purchasing vehicles through county contracts assures the
lowest possible price for the type of vehicle required.
4. There is adequate funding available in the approved 1993
Central Garage Capital Outlay budget for these purchases.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council could choose to deny approval and direct staff to
obtain new bids for these vehicles; however,. staff does not
believe a lower price can be obtained from a reputable dealer
• other than through the Hennepin County purchase contract.
?L-
DiscuSsion/Decision Mode: .
In order to.take advantage of these prices, the vendor
requires a purchase order to be issued in January, 1993.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 28 6K
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase of vehicles for use by Public Safety Department.
Background:
Four full size sedans being used by the Public Safety Department are
scheduled to be replaced in 1993. Purchase of new vehicles has been
coordinated with the State of Minnesota's bid process. All four of
the cars are currently in use. All of the cars, Ford Crown Victoria
squads, were purchased in 1991 and will be fully depreciated in 1993.
The extent and nature of the use of these cars indicates a two year
replacement schedule.
The lowest responsible bid for the type of vehicle required was
submitted by Superior Ford, Inc. The approved 1993 Central Garage
capital outlay budget includes money for these purchases.
Actual cost per 1992 marked squad car was $12,946.50. The 1993 per
car bid price is $13,107.31, for a total of $52,429.25. Staff does
not believe a better price can be obtained other than through the
State of Minnesota bid.process.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the purchase of four Ford Crown Victoria full-sized police
sedans through the State of Minnesota purchasing agreement from
Superior Ford, Inc. for a total purchase price of $52,429.25.
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. Several manufacturers of full size cars were requested to submit
bids following predetermined specifications. Of the bids
submitted, Superior Ford, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder
for the type of car requested.
2. The City is in need of replacing four fully depreciated squad
cars.
3. The cost of maintenance and vehicle downtime will be excessive if
the vehicles are not replaced at this time.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to reject this bid and request staff to obtain
bids from other sources in an attempt to receive a lower purchase
price. However, staff does not believe a better price can be
obtained from a responsible dealer.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Time constraints dictate that in order to take advantage of the bid
price, the dealer requires a purchase order by January 31, 1993.
Staff is requesting approval of this purchase at the January 25, 1993

Council Letter No. 27
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Approval of the continuation of the agreement with the City of
Bloomington for the provision of inspectional services for
Richfield for the year 1993.
Background:.
The City of Bloomington has provided inspectional and enforcement
services in the areas of plumbing, heating and air conditioning,
food service, forestry and plan check for food services for
several years.
The proposed contract for 1993 is $89,550 compared to the 1992
contract.of $87,170.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement
with the City of Bloomington for the provision of inspectional
and enforcement services for the year 1993.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a
professional level of inspectional services to Richfield
• residents. Annual evaluations of their services has shown
that they are providing effective services in a very cost-
effective manner..
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own
plumbing, heating and air conditioning, food inspection and
'forestry services. The cost of hiring the staff necessary to
provide the same level of services and administrative support
would be more than our current expenditures, and would
require a budget increase.
•
2. The Council could decide to compensate the City of
Bloomington at a lower rate which would require designated
reduction in services or programs.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The renewal of the agreement between Richfield and the City of
Bloomington for the provision of inspectional services is being
presented for council approval.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 26
January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Approval of the continuation of the agreement with the City of
Bloomington for the provision of public health services for the
City of Richfield for 1993.
Background:
In 1977, the State of Minnesota enacted the Community Health
Services Act which transferred the responsibility for the
administration of public health programs to local jurisdictions.
The State also provided funds for the programs and encouraged local
jurisdictions to increase the efficiency of the programs by
grouping together. Richfield and Edina entered into a joint powers
agreement with Bloomington, and the program has been administered
under that agreement since that time.
The contract for 1993 reflects a 4% increase over the 1992
contract. This is primarily due to increases in staff salaries.
The 1993 contract will be $154,10.0, while the 1992 contract was
$148,165.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council renew the joint powers
agreement for 1993.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a
professional level of public health services to Richfield
residents. Annual evaluations of their services have shown
that they are providing effective services in a very cost-
efficient manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own
public health services. The cost of hiring the nursing staff
necessary to provide the same level of services and
administrative support would be more than current expenditures,
and would require a budget increase.
2. The Council could decide to compensate the City of Bloomington
at a lower rate which would require designated reduction in
services or programs.
Discussion/Decision. Mode:
The renewal of the joint powers agreement between the City of
Richfield and the City of Bloomington for 1993 for the provision of
public health services is being presented for Council approval.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 25
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
City Council resolution appointing representatives to the
Richfield Tourism Promotion Board.
Background:
On June 25, 1990, the City Council approved the ordinance to levy
a 3% tax on gross receipts of lodging from Richfield hotels and
motels pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. The establishment of the
Richfield Tourism Promotion Board and the appointment of three
directors was also a part of that resolution.
The articles and bylaws of the Tourism Board provide that the
City Council appoint three directors to the Board. The three
directors shall represent the Richfield Chamber of Commerce, the
Hampton Inn and Motel 6. The directors' terms are normally for a
period of three years.
The three nominees for appointment/reappointment are as follows:
1. Larry Zielke, Attorney, representing the Richfield Chamber of
Commerce; reappoint to a one year term ending December 31,
1993.
2. William Brusman, Vice President of Realty Management
Services, Inc., representing the Hampton Inn; reappoint to a
three year term ending December 31, 1995.
3. George Otterson, Area Manager for Motel 6, replacing Charles
Davis who is no longer with Motel 6; appoint to a two year
term ending December 31, 1994.
The terms have been staggered to ensure that only one director is
considered for appointment each year. In addition, it is
proposed that the term of appointment run from January 1 to
December 31 rather than the July to June term originally
established.
Each of the three organizations represented on the Board selects
an individual to represent them and be considered for
appointment by the City Council.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution making appointments to the
Richfield Tourism Promotion Board.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City Council has the authority to make appointments to
the Richfield Tourism Promotion Board.
69-1
2. Due to a resignation, one of the Richfield Tourism Board
• Directors must be replaced.
3. The Tourism Board was originally established in midyear, thus
resulting in terms which appear to expire at the end of
June. This.is an excellent opportunity to change the
Board's terms of office to coincide with a calendar year
term and reestablish the staggered term expiration dates to
a calendar year system. This time frame is common to other
types of City appointment terms.
4. The current Board members have done an excellent job of
directing the functions and activities of the Board,
promoting the City of Richfield.
5. The above referenced individuals have all indicated a
willingness to serve on the Tourism Board.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could leave the terms as they currently are.
2. The City Council could appoint another or other individuals
to the Richfield Tourism Board.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is requested that the City Council act upon this matter at
• the January 25, 1993 meeting so that the replacement board
member may begin his term as soon as possible.

follows:
? A pay adjustment of 3% effective January 1, 1993.
? A $25 increase in the City's contribution for dependent health
insurance, for a maximum of $285 per month.
• ? A $2 monthly increase in the City's contribution for single
dental insurance, for a maximum of $22 per month.
? A $25 per year increase in the clothing allowance to $450 per
employee per year.
? A provision which would convert any accrued Sick Leave to
Personal Leave/Short-term Disability for new hires or
promotions into this bargaining unit. Current members of the
Unit have the Personal Leave/Short-term Disability benefit
rather than Sick Leave.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt a resolution approving a labor agreement with the Richfield
Police Supervisory Association for the year 1993.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Wage and benefits settlements are comparable to other City of
Richfield employee groups.
2. The package contains a conversion from the former sick leave
program, bringing the Supervisors in line with Management,
General Services and the Local 49 group with respect to the
personal leave program.
. 3. The union members have voted on the issues and have given
their approval to the settlement.
(PE
• 4. The settlement proposal appears to be an equitable resolution
of the contract for both parties.
Alternative Recommendation:
Do not approve the labor agreement requiring further negotiations
and/or arbitration.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
In order to allow the City's,accounting personnel to modify
payroll records and enact the new pay grades retroactive to
January-1, 1993 as quickly as possible, it is recommended that
the City Council act on January 25, 1993 to adopt the attached
resolution providing for the contract implementation effective
January 1, 1993.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 21
Agenda January 25, 1993
Issue Statement:
Acceptance of the dedication of Girard Avenue extension to the
City of Richfield; Cloverleaf site area.
Background:
In 1982, Lyons, the then owner of the Cloverleaf site, and
Erickson, the owner of the Corporate Travel property adjacent to
I-35W, entered into an agreement providing for the construction
and maintenance of the road which separates their two properties
and provides access to 76th Street, and to 78th Street.at Emerson
Avenue. The agreement also provides for the dedication of this
road to the City at a time when the parties are agreeable. It
further provides that the parties agree not to accept
compensation when given to the City.
As planning for the construction of 77th Street continues, it
recently became apparent that a detour of 76th Street traffic
will be necessary. For approximately 45 days, an excavation
across 76th Street will be necessary to accommodate the
installation of a storm sewer line. The most efficient and least
disruptive detour route would be to utilize the Girard Avenue
Extension and Emerson Avenue.
Now would be the appropriate time for the City to accept this
private road from the current owners. The north/south roadway
segment was built to City standards. The east/west segment was
already paved as it provided access to the Cloverleaf Motel.
However, as part of the utilization of the road for project
detour purposes, the roadway will be upgraded to City standards
utilizing 77th Street project funds. For example, the pavement
width of the east/west leg will be increased from 18 to 24 feet.
The existing asphalt will be overlayed.
Erickson has recently indicated an interest in dedicating his
interest to the City. The HRA as successor in ownership to Lyons
on January 19, indicated an interest in dedicating their portion
to the City. The number of linear feet the City would be
assuming approximate 1,500. The annual impact on maintenance
would be limited to snowplowing. From time to time, it may be
necessary to repair a pothole. However, once the detour route is
ended, the traffic volumes would diminish to current low levels.
The estimated annual maintenance cost to the City is less than
$1,000.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution in which the City Council agrees to
accept the proposed dedication of the Girard Avenue extension as
a public right of way.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City is the appropriate manager of roads.
2. The Girard extension provides the most efficient and least
disruptive detour route for the 77th Street project.
3. The current owners are willing to dedicate the road to the
City without payment.
4. Funds from the 77th Street project are available to upgrade
the portion of the road not now to City standards.
5. The maintenance cost impact to the City is negligible.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Reject the recommendation.
2. Delay the recommendation.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
An affirmative response will permit the finalization of a ,detour
route to continue and the timely submittal of additional plans to
MnDOT for approval which would help assure a spring construction
start.

Issue Statement:
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
Background:
The City was recently notified that its comprehensive annual
financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1991
qualifies for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the
highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and
financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant
accomplishment by a government and its management.
The GFOA, which is responsible for presenting the certification,
is a nonprofit, professional association serving 9,500 government
finance professionals. The Association provides a variety of
technical publications in various fields of government finance
and represents the public finance community in Washington, D.C.
The specific comprehensive annual financial report was judged by
an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program
established by GFOA, including demonstrating a constructive
spirit of full disclosure effort to clearly communicate its
• financial story and motivate potential persons and users to read
the financial report.
When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded to a government, an
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement is also given to the
individual designated as primarily responsible for having earned
the certificate. This Award of Financial Reporting Achievement
has been presented to Bridget Walstrom, the City's new Finance
Manager. The 1991 annual financial report represents the first
report completed solely by Ms. Walstrom and her staff.
Richfield has previously earned the GFOA Certificate of
Achievement and Certificate of Conformance for its annual
financial reporting for the years 1976, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1984,
1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1990. Thus, for the City of
Richfield, this represents the tenth time since 1980 that the
prestigious award has been attained and the eighth straight year
that the City of Richfield has received the award.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council present the Certificate
of Achievement for Financial Reporting to Finance Manager Bridget
Walstrom on behalf of the Government Finance Officers
Association.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The City has been notified by the GFOA that the certificate
has been attained and that presentation to Bridget Walstrom
would be appropriate.
3-l
• 2. The City Council wishes to take such opportunities to
recognize achievement of City staff, especially at a public
forum, such as a City Council meeting.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could accept the award and make no mention
of it at the Council meeting.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this item is suggested for January 25, 1993.

Roll Call
Approval of Minutes
The annual meeting of the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization was
called to order by Chairman Carol Johnson, who asked that those in attendance introduce
themselves.
Present: Chairman Johnson, Vice Chairman KristaL Stokes, and Treasurer Coral Houle,
Commissioners Andrews, Mahon, Peterson, and Spies of Bloomington, and
Commissioners Bullock, Kirsch and Ludeman of Richfield.
Absent: Secretary Michael Sandahl and Commissioner Schuler of Bloomington.
Also present: Executive Director Michael Eastling of Richfield and Assistant Executive
Director Charles HonchelL of Bloomington.
Motion was made by Kirsch, seconded by Houle, and all present voting aye, to approve
the minutes of the February 4, 1991, annual meeting as presented. The motion carried
11-0.
Election of Officers The Chairman asked for nominations from the floor for election of officers. Mahon
suggested that the same slate of officers who had served the previous year be elected
inasmuch as it was their first year in office. He nominated the following slate:
Chairman, Carol Johnson; Vice Chairman, Kristat Stokes; Secretary, Michael Sandahl; and
Treasurer, Coral Houle. Motion was made by Mahon, seconded by Kirsch, and all
present voting aye, to close the nominations and to instruct the secretary to cast a
unanimous ballot for the above slate. The motion carried 11-0.
Appointment of Executive The Chairman suggested that the Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director
Director and Assistant be reappointed for a second term. She recommended that Michael Eastling, City Engineer
Executive Director of Richfield be reappointed Executive Director and Charles HonchelL, Director of Public
Works of Bloomington, be reappointed Assistant Executive Director inasmuch as the past
year was their first year in those respective roles. Motion was made by Houle, seconded
by Andrews, and all present voting aye, to reappoint Michael Eastling of Richfield as
Executive Director and Charles HonchelL of Bloomington as Assistant Executive Director.
The motion carried 11-0.
New Rules from the Assistant Executive Director Charles HonchelL said he has been serving on the state
Board of Water and Soil policy committee that has been establishing the Metropolitan Watershed Management Plan-
Resources ning Rules. A overview of the eighth draft of these rules was submitted with the agenda
material, and he noted that the final planning rules are now in the process of
completion. These rules regulate the operation of the water management organizations,
and one rule requires the submission of an annual report and audit by every WMO and
watershed district in the state to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.
Executive Director Michael Eastling reviewed the proposed draft of the annual report of
the RBWMO. The water issues with which Richfield and Bloomington become involved are
those affecting the two cities and water from Richfield crosses under IH-494 to
Page 1 February 24, 1992
Bloomington. He said there hasn't been much controversy with stormwater quality issues
but a procedure must be set up for resolving any areas of conflict should they occur.
Mr. Eastling said the sections of the annual report are numbered in accordance with Part
8410.0150 of the rules to provide for easy reference and cover the.following: (a)
membership; (b) staff; (c) 1991 Work Plan; (d) 1992 Work Plan; (e) permits, variances and
enforcement; (f) water quality monitoring; (g) local plans; (h) information program; (i)
solicitation of or interest for consultant services; (j) expenditure; and (k) wetland
banking.
He said under (c) the RBWMO Water Management Plan was approved by the Minnesota Board of
Water and Soil Resources in 1991 which then directs the member cities to administer the
plan. A Local Watershed Management Plan will be prepared after all of the water
management organizations of which each city is a part have their water management plans
approved. Richfield is awaiting approval of the Nine Mile Creek and Minnehaha Creek
Watershed Districts' water management plans while Bloomington is waiting for approval of
the Nine Mile Creek, Riley Purgatory and Lower Minnesota Watershed Districts' water
management plans.
Mr. Eastling said both the Cities of Richfield and Bloomington have stormwater utilities
that provide funding for stormwater control activities. The Federal FLoodpLain revision
was approved in early 1991, and there are flood insurance requirements around Smith Pond.
Both Richfield and Bloomington have requested status as Local Government Units for the
purpose of the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. For the 1992 Work Plan he said as soon
as the water management organizations of which Richfield and Bloomington are a part have
finished their water management plans, both cities will begin preparation of their Local
Water Management Plan.
Under the rules for an information program, Mr. Eastling said each WMO must prepare a
newsletter or publish in their. local newspaper a public notice that outlines the purpose
of the organization, the elements of its annual report, and setting forth the steps to be
followed if someone wishes to bring an issue to the organization. He said it is proposed
that the public notice for the RBWMO be published in the Sun Current newspaper.
Following discussion, motion was made by Andrews, seconded by Ludeman, and all present
voting aye, to approve the annual report of the RBWMO and to authorize its submission to
the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. The motion carried 11-0. Motion was
made by Houle, seconded by Buttock, and all present voting aye, to approve publication of
the public notice that is required in the Sun Current newspaper. The motion carried
11-0. Mr. HoncheLL said when this publication is made, a map will be included so the
boundaries of the RBWMO are identified. Because of the amount of information to be
published, he said it might require the use of a full page of the newspaper.
Mr. Honchell said in 1995 as required by the rules, the RBWMO will be required to update
its Watershed Management Plan, and preparation of the Local Water Management Plan for
cities will be required two years after approval of the last WMO plan in each city. He
said as soon as approval is received of the water management plans for Nine Mile Creek,
Minnehaha Creek, Riley Purgatory and Lower Minnesota Watershed Districts both Richfield
and Bloomington can begin its Local Water Management Plan.
Minnesota River Quality Mr. Eastling said included with the agenda materials was a draft resolution which
Requirements addresses the concern of the Metropolitan Council about the water quality of the Lower
Minnesota River, and achievement of a 40% reduction in nonpoint pollution by July 1,
1996 to meet state water quality standards. He said all of the watershed districts which
drain into the river are being asked to improve the quality of that water.
Page 2 February 24, 1992
While approval was given by the Metropolitan Council for the continued operation of the
Seneca and Blue Lake sewage treatment plants, he said it was with conditions that include
improving the water quality of water entering the Minnesota River. The river drains much
of southern Minnesota, including a lot of farm land so it is not just urban water that is
polluting the river. He said WMO's are being requested to review a plan to improve the
water quality, which he said is difficult to monitor before it reaches the river. After
adoption of the resolution, he said WMO's must adopt policies as agreed to in the
resolution. Ludeman commented on the wording in the resolution which says the RBWMO will
cooperate with the Metropolitan Council to which Mr. Eastling said the first resolution
that was received from the Metropolitan Council said the organization would agree to any
plan which was presented. He said the Metro Council wants to be assured that the RBWMO
will agree to cooperate with them.
Following discussion, motion was made by Mahon, seconded by Andrews, and all present
voting aye, to adopt the resolution. The motion carried 11-0. Mr. Honchell said Jim
Gates, Deputy Director of Public Works for Bloomington, is a member of a committee that
is addressing the achievement of the 40% reduction goal. Mr. Gates said agreement has
been reached for the 40% reduction at Shakopee. The Metro Council is concentrating
its efforts with the three watershed districts upstream draining to the river. The
resolution adopted by the RBWMO is for the river downstream of Shakopee. He noted that
the Metropolitan Council has stated that improvement of water quality should be included
as an amendment to the comprehensive plan of cities.
E.P.A. National Mr. Honchell said he and Jim Gates are working with a group that is formulating the
Pollutant Discharge requirements for state PCA and national EPA non-point discharge permits. He said
Elimination System construction permits would be required if five acres or more of land is disturbed. He
(NPDES) Permits said the group has been attempting to establish a general permit that would allow
proceeding if a certain set of conditions is met and there was agreement to implement
those conditions. Paperwork could be eliminated if a general permit process was
approved. He said approval is being sought from the federal government for this process.
Mr. Gates said it is hoped that industrial permits could also be handled in this same
manner. The deadline has been extended from May 1, 1992, to October 1, 1992. The areas
that would be affected by industrial permits would be salt storage areas that are exposed
to runoff. Efforts would be made to prevent that runoff from going into the storm sewer
system. He noted that the state PCA is the regulatory agency for the EPA in this area,
and while the regulations first came out in 1990 everyone is still on a learning curve.
He said the PCA is striving for a general permit because it doesn't have the staff or
funding to handle many different types.
Mr. Gates said cities over 250,000 in population are required now to have a municipal
permit and after October 1992 cities from 100,000 to 250,000 in population will be
required to obtain a municipal permit. He said cities under 100,000 will be required to
have a permit in the future, and this is something that staff is monitoring.
Mr. Eastling said the City of Richfield is co-applicant with the City of Minneapolis for
a municipal permit because much of Richfield drains to Minneapolis. He said one of the
requirements of the permit is sampling of water and this will include rainwater and snow
melt. He said Richfield will be able to get a good idea of water quality by monitoring
Legion Lake.
Wetland Conservation Mr. Eastling said included with the agenda material was a brochure on the Wetland
Act Conservation Act of 1991. On the back page is a listing of the interim prohibitions
because most of the programs and regulatory provisions in the act do not take effect
until July 1, 1993. The interim prohibition begins January 1, 1992, and continues
Page 3 February 24, 1992
through July 1, 1993, with a number of exemptions. One role of local government units is
to convene a technical evaluation panel and go through a sequencing procedure in
reviewing projects affecting wetlands. The Board of Water and Soil Resources will be
providing guidelines for local government units for the interim program of the Wetland
Conservation Act. He said Richfield and Bloomington are seeking approval to be the local
governing unit for this act and other watershed districts are also requesting this
authority.
Mr. Gates noted that this Wetland Conservation Act doesn't modify protected waters as
defined by the State but does encompass other waters not under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Natural Resources. He said, for example, the pond at the Ice Garden in
Bloomington isn't affected by the DNR but is affected by the requirements of the Wetland
Act. He reviewed the features of the Act as detailed in the brochure as well as the
timetable for compliance.
Projects - Park 'n Fly Mr. Gates reviewed projects in the area covered by the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed
and Storm Sewer Management Organization. He said the agreement for the Smith Pond area storm sewer
Regulator - Maintenance regulator, which was installed in the Richfield-Bloomington line going under IN-494, was
signed with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. When this line is not in use for
draining water from IH-494, it drains water from Richfield which would otherwise flow to
Smith Pond. He said as a requirement of the agreement, the Bloomington Engineering
Division monitored the regulator weekly from March through October and reported to MnDOT
on how it functioned,.the amount of debris and so forth. He said the regulator is
working very well.
Mr. Gates said another project in which Bloomington was involved was with a Park 'n Fly
facility where a water quality pond on the site was established to capture the runoff
from the lot. He said guidelines have been established for developments such as this
and a water quality policy is being prepared. That policy will be brought to the
Bloomington City Council for adoption when it is ready.
Insurance The Chairman indicated that the topic of insurance for both cities in the WMO was
discussed last year. Mr. Eastling said payment of the insurance of $2,291 last year was
handled by each city paying half of the premium. Therefore, there were no disbursements
by the organization so no audit is required. He said his recommendation would be that
the insurance for next year be handled in the same manner. Following discussion, motion
was made by Houle, seconded by Ludeman, and all present voting aye, to maintain the
present policy of each city paying for its own insurance. The motion carried 11-0.
Amendment of Bylaws The Richfietd-Bloomington Watershed Management organization was requested to consider an
amendment to the bylaws to allow the annual meeting to be held any time in the first
quarter of the year. The bylaws presently require that the annual meeting be held in
January. Proper notice of the proposed amerximent was sent to the members in advance of
the meeting as required by its parliamentary authority. Following discussion, motion was
made by Ludeman, seconded by Buttock, and all present voting aye, to adopt the proposed
amendment to the bylaws. The motion carried 11-0.
Adjourn Meeting The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Johnson at 6:25 p.m. The motion carried 11-0. The
Executive Director indicated that next year's meeting would be hosted by the City of
Richfield at the Richfield City Hatt.

0 PETITION FOR CHANGE IN WATERSHED DISTRICT BOUNDARY
TO: Secretary of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources
Please consider this document as a formal petition to the Board of Water and Soil
Resources to change a portion of the watershed boundary of the Minnehaha Creek
District, the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District and the Richfield-Bloomington Water
Management Organization. This request is made in accordance with MINNESOTA
STATUES SECTION 103D.251. This request is made based on the following findings:
1. The Watershed Districts or Water Management Organization affected by the
proposed boundary change includes the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, the
Nine Mile Creek Watershed District, and the Richfield-Bloomington Water
Management Organization.
2. The property affected by the proposed boundary change includes areas tributary
to Wood Lake and a limited area along 77th Street within the City of Richfield
that would be directed to drain into Wood Lake instead of Nine Mile Creek as
part of a 77th Street improvement project. As part of this improvement project,
the Wood Lake outlet would also be constructed.
3. The proposed boundary change will benefit the Richfield-Bloomington WMO by
making its legal boundary consistent with both the actual existing watershed
boundary and the actual watershed boundary which will exist with the construction
of planned drainage improvements. The proposed boundary change will benefit
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District for the same reasons.
4. The drainage area tributary to Wood Lake as described in Exhibit A lies within
the boundaries of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, but does not have an
outlet to Minnehaha Creek and has never contributed surface water runoff to
Minnehaha Creek.
5. The area tributary to Wood Lake has not in the past, and will not in the future
contribute runoff to Minnehaha Creek and has not received any benefits from the
operation of the Watershed District that cannot be provided in the future by the
Richfield-Bloomington WMO.
111
6. All proposed future drainage improvement projects for the area involved by the
proposed boundary change will affect only the Richfield-Bloomington Water
Management Organization and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District and will
not affect or contribute drainage to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
Therefore, all of the affected water management organizations and watershed
districts will benefit by avoiding the administrative effort and expense which
would be required in permitting and coordination of projects which will result if
boundaries are not changed.
7. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District can perform the functions for which it
was established without the inclusion of this territory.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the CITY OF RICHFIELD that the
Minnesota Water Board of Water and Soil Resources is requested to approve the change
in boundary described in Exhibit A.
Adopted by the Richfield City Council this 7th day of December . 1992.

RESOLUTION NO. 93.1
SUPPORTING THE WATERSHED BOUNDARY CHANGE ADDING
THE AREA TRIBUTARY TO WOOD LAKE TO THE RICHFIELD
BLOOMINGTON WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION
WHEREAS, the property affected by the proposed boundary
change includes the area tributary to Wood Lake as well as a
limited approximate 100 acre area along 77th Street that would be
directed into Wood Lake instead of Nine Mile Creek as part of a
77th Street improvement project.
WHEREAS, an outlet to Wood Lake would be constructed as part
of the 77th Street improvement project.
WHEREAS, the proposed boundary change will benefit the
Richfield Bloomington WMO by making its legal boundary consistent
with the actual watershed boundary which will exist with the
construction of planned drainage improvements.
WHEREAS, all proposed future drainage improvement projects
for the area involved by the proposed boundary change will affect
only the Richfield Bloomington WMO and the Nine Mile Creek
Watershed District and will not affect or contribute drainage to
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
WHEREAS, all of the affected water management organizations
and watershed districts will benefit by avoiding the
administrative effort and expense which would be required in
permitting and coordination of projects which will result if
boundaries are not changed.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Richfield Bloomington Water
Management Organization that the Minnesota Board of Water and
Soil Resources is requested to approve the change in boundary
being requested by the City of Richfield in their petition of
December 7, 1992, and that the 77th Street Project is approved.

ADDENDUM
0
This is an addendum to the Richfield - Bloomington Watershed Management Plan, dated
January 1991. This addendum reflects changes to the Richfield Bloomington WMO plan that
are necessary in order to incorporate the Wood Lake and its tributary drainage area into its
legal boundaries. ( see figure 1A) This change is necessary as a result of an outlet which is
to be constructed in Wood Lake that would take water from Wood Lake south to the I-494
storm drainage system. The changes are outlined below for each section of the WMO plan.
I. INTRODUCTION
Section I-B, General Information, Sentence No. 5:
Currently States:
"The Richfield - Bloomington Watershed area comprises portions of eastern
Bloomington and southeastern Richfield, as shown on Figure 1."
Replace With:
"The Richfield - Bloomington Watershed area comprises portions of eastern
Bloomington and the south half of Richfield, as shown on Figure 1 and Figure
1B."
Section I-B, General Information, Sentence No. 7:
Currently States:
"The total area is approximately 4 1/2 square miles."
Replace With:
"The total area is approximately 6 1/2 miles."
II. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND LAND USE
Section II-A, Geology and Topography, Sentence No. 3:
Currently States:
"Figure 2 shows a composite geologic column and bedrock type and
contours".
Page 1
Replace With:
"Figure 2 and Figure 2A show a composite geologic column and bedrock type
and contours".
Section II-A, Geology and Topography, last sentence:
Currently States:
"The topography of the area is shown on Figure 3".
Replace With:
"The topography of the area is shown on Figure 3 and Figure 3A."
Section II-C, Land Use, Sentence No. 5:
Currently States:
"Projected land use is shown on Figure 4."
Replace With:
This sentence should now read "Projected land use is shown on Figure 4 and
Figure 4.A."
0 Section II-D, Fish and Wildlife:
Replace existing paragraph with:
"The Richfield - Bloomington Watershed Management area, being 100% urban,
supports small numbers of wildlife. Parks and open space are generally too
small and well manicured to support more than typical squirrels and song birds.
The only exception to this being the Wood Lake Nature Reserve, which
supports a small number of deer, pheasants and water fowl. Typically, when
larger animals wander into the area, it is usually considered more of a nuisance
than an amenity. The ponds in the area are used by migratory water fowl, but
are either too small or too shallow to support game fish populations."
III. THE HYDROLOGIC SYSTEM
Section III-A.1 Drainage Patterns, First Paragraph, Sentence No. 5:
Currently States:
"Figure 5 shows features of the surface water drainage system."
Page 2
Replace With:
"Figure 5 and Figure 5A show the features of the surface water drainage
system."
Section III-A.1, Drainage Patterns, Paragraph 10:
Currently States:
"The existing ponds are shown on Figure 5 along with the existing storm
sewers."
Replace With:
"The existing ponds are shown on Figure 5 and, Figure 5A along with the
existing storm sewers."
Section III A.1, Drainage Patterns:
Insert after Paragraph 10:
"Wood Lake is located east of I 35W north of the intersection of 1-35W and
71st Street, and south of the intersection of I-35W and 66th Street. This lake is
approximately 120 acres in area and receives drainage from two square miles in
Richfield. Wood Lake is designated 26 P by the Minnesota DNR. At this time,
Wood Lake is currently a landlocked basin having no surface outlet. The current
normal water level for Wood Lake typically ranges from elevation 818.5 to
820.0. There currently are plans to construct an outlet from Wood Lake, which
would take water from Wood Lake south to the I-494 storm drainage system via
Humboldt Avenue".
Section III-A.2, Hydrologic Analysis, first paragraph, Sentence No. 7:
Currently States:
"The combined results of the analysis are shown on Figure 6 and presented in
the detailed tabulation of hydrology which is provided in the Appendix."
Replace With:
"The combined results of the analysis are shown on Figure 6 and Figure 6A
and presented in the detailed tabulation of hydrology which is provided in the

IV OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
There are no changes required in this section of the Water Management Plan.
V. THE MANAGEMENT PLAN
,Add Section V.F, Wood Lake:
States:
Wood Lake and its surrounding tributary drainage area encompasses two square
miles. Currently Wood Lake is a land locked basin with no surface outlet.
There currently are plans for storm sewer improvements within the Wood Lake
drainage area. These storm sewer improvements will be included in the 77th
Street Improvement project. The 77th Street Improvement Project includes
• solving -minor flooding problems that currently exist along 77th Street and the
areas tributary to this drainage system. The water in this drainage area, which
currently drains southeast to Penn Lake, would be collected and conveyed north
to Wood Lake as part of this improvement. As part of this project, an outlet
would then be constructed from Wood Lake, taking water to the south along
Humboldt Avenue, then east along 77th Street to Colfax Avenue, where it
would tie into the existing and the future I-494 storm drainage system. This
project would relieve current water quantity problems along the 77th Street
drainage corridor and provide Wood Lake with a positive water outlet.

E
Met Council Nine Point Plan
1. Local governments in the Minnesota River Basin must adopt design standards for new
stormwater ponds that will reduce the contaminant loadings from surface water runoff. One
set of design criteria that is widely accepted is from the National Urban Runoff Program
(NURP). Appendix A is attached and describes NURP designed pond performance
standards. These criteria, or similar specifications which are equally effective, should be
incorporated in the stormwater plan of every local government in the Minnesota River Basin.
At the present time, this policy does not direct the retrofitting of existing stormwatcr ponds.
2. Local governments in the Minnesota River Basin must also include in their stormwater plans
the MPCA's urban "best management practices," titled Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas
or an equivalent set of standards. These standards are to be used for all new or redeveloped
land development. These local governments must also notify their residents of the
EPAIMPCA 40 percent reduction goal, "best management practices" to achieve this goal and
available resources if additional information is needed.
3. All local governments in the Minnesota River Basin must adopt the Department of Natural
Resources' shoreland regulations as found in the Statewide Standards for Management of
Shoreland Areas as prescribed by the timeline in (Minnesota Regulations Parts 6120.2500 -
6120.3900) and consistent with the DNR's implementation strategy. Local governments
should work with the DNR to determine the most effective way to implement the DNR's
shoreland regulations.
4. All local governments in the Minnesota River Basin must adopt as part of their
comprehensive plans and official controls the measures described in items 1 and 2 by
September 30, 1992. Each local government should notify the affected Watershed
Management Organizations of its intentions to comply with items 1 and 2.
5. After September 30, 1992, the Council may require modification of plan amendments that
involve land use activities. that would generate surface water runoff, unless the local
government has adopted the interim measures described in items 1 through 3. The Council
will not require a plan modification regarding nonpoint source pollution if a local government
has adopted NURP standards and MPCA's "best management practices" by September 30,
1992, and is following the DNR's shoreland regulation implementation strategy.
6. The Metropolitan Council will continue to develop target pollution loads for all watersheds
in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
7. The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will advise its member cities of the urgent
need to implement runoff and land management practices that improve the quality of direct
and indirect runoff discharges to the Minnesota River and of the consequences to the region
of failing to meet the EPA/MPCA 40 percent reduction goal by 1996.
0
8. The Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will work with
State of Minnesota agencies to reduce nonpoint source pollution to area water bodies in
Greater Minnesota.
9. The Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will monitor
the effectiveness of the above-mentioned interim steps to address the nonpoint source
pollution problem in the Minnesota River Basin. If sufficient progress has not been made
by 1994 to reduce nonpoint source pollution to the Minnesota River, the Metropolitan
Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will work to devise a solution
designed to meet the EPA/MPCA goal of 40 percent reduction by 1996.

The city staffs for both cities cooperate to provide necessary
staff support for the Water Management Organization (WMO).
C. 1992 Work Plan
The BWSR approved RBWMO plan directs the member cities
to administer the plan. The storm water management
efforts of each city will eventually be codified in
their respective Local Watershed Management Plan. This
plan will not be finalized until after all the WMO's of
which each city is a member has their WMP approved by
BWSR. State law gives cities two years following the
approval of the last WMO WMP within their boundary.
Richfield is awaiting approval of Nine Mile Creek and
Minnehaha Creek Watershed Districts WMP's. Bloomington
is awaiting approval of Nine Mile Creek, Riley
Purgatory, and Lower Minnesota.
In addition to the regular review and permitting
authority afforded all cities, both cities have storm
water utilities which provide a reliable funding source
for storm water control activities.
Both cities have requested status as Local Governmental
Units (LGU) from BWSR for purpose of the Wetland
• Conservation Act of 1991.
Bloomington has enacted a Stormwater Quality Ordinance.
Richfield has prepared a stormwater management plan for
the area of Richfield included in the NPDES application
made with Minneapolis. Many of the same management
practices will also be applied to the area within the
RBWMO.
Richfield has petitioned BWSR to request a change in the
boundaries of the RBWMO to include the area tributary to
Wood Lake. The petition was precipitated by a proposed
project to provide an outlet to Wood Lake directing the
flow of the outlet to the RBWMO. A RBWMO plan amendment
has been drafted for consideration after BWSR acts on
the petition.
D. 1993 Work Plan
If the BWSR approves the proposed boundary change, both
member cities will promptly consider an amendment to the
official plan of the RBWMO and have the member cities
act on the amendment as soon as possible. Such an
amendment would then be processed to the BWSR.
Assuming that all the WMO's of which Richfield and
is Bloomington are amember have approved WMP's, both
cities will be finalizing their local WMP's.
Bloomington and Richfield will be performing water
quality monitoring with new sampling equipment in 1993.
The Board of the RBWMO will review and act on a plan
amendment to accomodate the Wood Lake boundary change
following BWSA approval of the changes.
E. Permits, Variances and Enforcement
Bloomington has had five actions persuant to their
status as an LGU for administration of the interim
rules for the Wetland Conservation Act.
F. Water Quality Monitoring
Bloomington and Richfield will be monitoring stormwater
quality in 1993 with new samples. RBWMO agreed by
resolution to cooperate with Met Council and the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in their efforts
to meet their commitment to the EPA to reduce nonpoint
pollution to the Minnesota River by 40%.
G. Local Plans,
Will be prepared upon approval of the remaining WMP's
for the WMO's in Richfield and Bloomington.
• Considerable base information is being compiled to
assist in this upcoming endeavor.
H. Information Program
A copy of the publication in the Bloomington and
Richfield Sun is attached.
I. Solicitation for Interest for Consultant Services
No consultant sources were used by the RBWMO in 1992.
J. Expenditures
There were no RBWMO expenditures in 1992.
K. Wetland Banking
A wetland banking program for each city as LGU to
implement the regulation is being investigated for
potential implementation.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONCERNING THE RICHFIELD-BLOOMINGTON
WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION
The Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization
(RBWMO) is a joint powers agreement between the cities of
Richfield and Bloomington. The organization was established to
manage natural water drainage and retention occurring in
approximately a 4 ? square mile, contiguous area that comprises
portions of eastern Bloomington and southeastern Richfield. A
map of the area is shown below:
(map of area to be inserted here)
The intent of the organization is to address water drainage
issues within the watershed that are inter-governmental, rather
than local (specific to one community or the other), in scope.
Goals of the organization include the following:
? Protecting, preserving, and using natural surface and
groundwater storage and retention systems;
? Minimizing public capital expenditures needed to correct
flooding and water quality problems;
? Identifying and planning for means to effectively protect
and improve surface and groundwater quality;
? Establishing more uniform local policies and official
. controls for surface and groundwater management;
? Preventing erosion of soil into surface water systems;
? Protecting and enhancing fish and wildlife habitat and
water recreational facilities; and
? Securing the other benefits associated with the proper
management of surface and ground water within the Richfield-
Bloomington Watershed.
The RBWMO meets at least once a year in the first 90 days of each
year, at which time the Board elects officers and conducts
necessary business. The annual meeting is open to the public.
Commissioners of the RBWMO Board are all members of the Richfield
and Bloomington City Councils. Current members of the RBWMO
Board are as follows:
Name Representing
Carol Johnson, Chair Bloomington
Michael Sandahl, Secretary Richfield
.Coral Houle, Treasurer Bloomington
Jim Andrews Bloomington
Martin Kirsch Richfield
Neil Peterson Bloomington
Donald Priebe Richfield

Chair Richfield
Michael Eastling, City Engineer for Richfield, is the current
(1993) Executive Director of the RBWMO. Charles Honchell,
Director of Public Works for Bloomington, is the 1993 Assistant
Executive Director.
The RBWMO has no direct expenses. Each city budgets and expends
funds in their respective storm drainage utilities to cover costs
associated with watershed drainage.
The RBWMO's Watershed Management Plan was approved by the Board
of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 1991. Once approved by the
RBWMO Board of Commissioners, the Plan will remain effective
until 1995. The plan discusses the physical environment, land
use and development in the RBWMO area; discusses geologic and
hydrologic features of the watershed district; sets forth a
management plan for the district, including the water qualities
that will be sought and opportunities for improvement; describes
the objectives and policies of the RBWMO; and, sets forth an
implementation program consistent with the management plan.
The City of Richfield has submitted a petition to the BWSR to
request that the area tributary to Wood Lake be added to the
RBWMO. The petition was precipitated by a proposed project to
provide an outlet to Wood Lake directing the flow of the outlet
to the RBWMO. The BWSR will likely make a decision on the
requested in 1993.
Both cities serve as the Local Governmental Unit in their
respective communities for enforcement of the interim regulations
of the State Wetland Conservation Act of 1991.
Richfield is participating with the City of Minneapolis in
obtaining a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permit for the northern portion of Richfield that drains into the
City of Minneapolis. This permit is required of all cities with
a population over 250,000.
Bloomington has adopted an ordinance requiring most properties
that construct one acre or more of impervious area, or do major
reconstruction, to provide ponding or funding for both water
quality and water quantity aspects of stormwater management.
Richfield and Bloomington residents can obtain additional
• information about the RBWMO, view the Watershed Management Plan,
and/or contact their RBWMO commissioner by calling their city
halls. Addresses and phone numbers for both locations are listed
