CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 332
Agenda November 22, 1993
• Issue Statement:
City Council consideration of selected budget issues.
Background:
At the oetober 13, 1993 Special City Council budget meeting, four
issues were identified for further discussion prior to the
December 1, 1993 truth-in-taxation public hearing. Those issues
include:
? The proposed Human Services Planner and Coordinator position.
? Source of funding for Madison Park.
? The proposed fourth liquor store.
? Water and sanitary sewer utility fund balances.
This Council Letter outlines these issues and provides additional
requested and newly available information.
HUMAN SERVICES PLANNER AND COORDINATOR POSITION
The Human Services Planner and Coordinator position was
recommended by several community representatives. This position
has been given preliminary consideration during previous budget
discussions. It is proposed that this position would be funded
• from the General Fund and a similar amount of communication-
related expense would be-charged to the Cable Fund.
Attached is a draft position description for Council review as
requested. (Exhibit A)
As previously stated, there is currently no one employed by the
City who has training, experience and time to provide these types
of services.
The establishment of this position is supported by the Advisory
Board of Health (see attached) and the Richfield Community Human
Services Planning Council.
FUNDING FOR MADISON PARK
During the City Council discussion of the capital improvement
program and budget, the Council directed staff to explore the
possibility of redeveloping a second neighborhood park in 1994.
The current capital improvement budget includes the cost of
redevelopment of Washington Park in 1994. After review, it has
been determined that funding for Madison Park improvement could
be provided in 1994 by transferring $500,000 in the Capital Fund
to the Special Revenue Fund. In 1995, the Liquor Fund would
repay the Capital Fund with the $500,000 transfer. This transfer
would be in lieu of a 1995 transfer to the Special Revenue Fund.
This would allow the completion of both Washington and Madison
Parks in 1994 and payment for these improvements would be
provided through the Liquor Fund.
FOURTH LIQUOR STORE
At previous budget sessions, the City staff has recommended that
the Council consider the addition of a fourth liquor store. The
proposal is based upon a number of considerations including:
? A market analysis of the potential performance of the fourth
liquor store has been completed by the firm, Grinstead and
Associates. The same individual has developed market analysis
for the Liquor Operations in the past. His reports have been
quite accurate.
The report generated by the Grinstead firm indicates that a
fourth liquor store located near 77th and Lyndale would be
successful with net annual sales increase for the operations of
$1.2 million and net income of $90,000.
? A more conservative proforma prepared by staff projects an
increase in net income of approximately $57,000. The
assumption and costs that are used to prepare the staff
proforma have been reviewed by the City's auditor and
determined to be reasonable estimates.
? In addition, marketing analysis indicates that the three
current stores attract customers from both Minneapolis and
Richfield with little market penetration in Bloomington. The
proposed fourth store would be positioned to attract the
Bloomington market as well as the south portion of Richfield,
including traffic along 77th Street.
• ? A final consideration of the fourth liquor store is the end
result of the profits. The City's Capital Improvement Fund
could make use of the additional funds generated by the fourth
liquor store to complete projects which have been identified.
In addition, there are some future capital projects with as yet
unidentified cost including adaption of City facilities to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
WATER AND SANITARY SEWER FUND BALANCES
The issue of fund balances and ultimately, rates in the combined
Water and Sanitary Sewer Fund remain unresolved. For the past
few years, the City has sustained an operating loss in the
Sanitary Sewer Fund. It is projected that 1993 will be the third
consecutive year with the loss of approximately $200,000. The
City auditors have recommended rate adjustment for the past three
years in order to avoid a continued loss within this fund. A.
rate adjustment of about 20% is necessary in 1994 to reach a
projected break-even point. This is especially critical since
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) charges to the City
of Richfield, which account for approximately 75% of our total
operating costs, will increase by 21.5%.
Richfield's sanitary sewer rates are currently well below the
average of other cities in the metro area. In fact, even with
• the 20% rate increase, Richfield's average cost per home in 1994,
as defined by the MCC, would be $90. MWCC reports show that the
average cost per home in the metro area for 1992 is $138.
Another approach to the rate structure in 1994 would be to have a
smaller increase in rates and utilize approximately $1.7 million
in cash balance to make up the annual operating loss which would ??
occur. This could be accomplished for approximately three years.
After that time, the cash balance would be reduced to
approximately $500,000. However, after the initial three year
period, rate increases of about 14% and 18% respectively are
projected for the next two years to maintain the $500,000 balance
and break-even operation. It is important to note that this
assumes that the Water and Sewer Fund would not require
additional capital improvements during this period of time. This
is an unlikely scenario as the sanitary sewer and water system
infrastructure become older. Increased costs to maintain and
improve the system will be required. Prudent financial planning
would suggest that the Council should consider maintaining Fund
balances in order to avoid the need to borrow funds as system
improvements and replacements are required.
An example of the benefit of these savings are illustrated with
the current Water Plant system improvement. The water softening
system replacement cost is approximately $3.7 million. If the
City had not set aside funds for the improvement, rates would
have had to increase by approximately?10% in order to service the
debt.
An additional consideration are the assumptions used to forecast
fund performance in the next few years. If a water consumption
pattern of the past year is used, a rate of approximately 13%
would be necessary. If an average of the past five years is
used, a 5.5% increase would be satisfactory. Under either
scenario, rate projections for 1995, 1996 and 1997 would be less
• than 3$ each year under normal conditions, barring demands for
major repairs in the system.
Recommended Motion:
Discuss the end result of budget issues identified in this
Council Letter.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The Council has asked that these issues be considered at the
November 22, 1993 Council meeting so that further discussion
can take place prior to the public hearing.
2. Some additional information on these issues is available.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may decide to defer any discussion on this until
budget discussion.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
These items are scheduled for discussion at the November 22, 1993
Council meeting.

SANITARY SEWER PROJECTIONS
0 Attached are three separate Sanitary Sewer Fund models using
different rate increase assumptions. Each assumes only moderate
increases from the MWCC annually.
Schedule A
Schedule A is a projection which attempts to bring the Fund into
a break-.even level of annual operation in 1994 and maintains that
level of performance through 1998.
Pros
? Projects a stop to the annual operating losses.
* Addresses auditors concerns about deficit operation of this
Fund.
? Assists the City in maintaining its excellent current bond
rating.
? Maintains and slightly increases Fund cash balance available
for repairs and maintenance.
Cons
? Requires a 20% increase in 1994, and may require another
significant increase in the future if the 20% does not
correct the Fund deficit.
? Reflects a large increase in the same year that tax levies of
combined Richfield taxing jurisdictions are significant,
. primarily due to the school referendum.
Schedule B
Schedule B is a projection modeled upon a suggestion by Council
Member Priebe. It assumes no increase in 1994, and 5% increases
there after until a $500,000 cash balance is attained. The
model then maintains a $500,000 cash balance.
Pros
? Allows for small increase in rates for the first three
years.
? If a $1.7 million cash balance is seen as excessive, reduces
cash balance to a minimal level.
Cons
? Fund does not reach a positive operating position in any of
the years modeled.
? Five additional years of Fund operations deficits could
adversely affect the City's bond rating.
? If sizable repairs or improvements in the system become
necessary, funds may need to be borrowed to complete such
projects. For example, a $1 million bond issue would result
in a 5% increase in rates.
? The rates rise significantly in the last two years in order
to maintain the $500,000 cash balance.
? If more than projected MWCC rate increase occurs during this
time period, the rate adjustment necessary in 1999 and
beyond will be greater than the other models because of the
low interest income in the Fund.
/3_=
Schedule C
Schedule C is a modified rate adjustment schedule that models
10% increases in the first two years, 8% in the third and fourth
years and 5.6% in the final year. It is an attempt to show
close in on the operating deficit more gradually.
Pros
? Cuts the rate increase in Model A (20%) in half, while still
moving toward a positive Fund performance.
? Projects a break-even operation in 1997.
? Maintains the cash balance of the Fund to provide for future
repairs and improvements.
Cons
? Schedules three
Fund.
? Requires fairly
1998.
? Could adversely
extended years
more years of operational deficits in the
sizable rate increases each year except
affect the City's bond rating because of the
of deficit operation.
Summary
With each of the rate models, some issues should be considered.
? Each of the models ends in 1998 with roughly the same rate.
The significant difference is the cash balance of the Fund
• in each model in 1998.
? If there are larger increases than expected by MWCC, all
models would require greater rate increases in future years.
However, each model would be impacted differently by large
unexpected expenses.
? In each model, there is a necessity for some rate increases
far greater than the small inflationary types of increase
which were seen in the mid to late 19801s.
? Richfield's sanitary sewer rates are well below the metro
average and would remain so in every model.
? If a $1,000,000 bond issue is necessary for improvements or
repairs in the future, it could be costly. Even at today's
favorable rates, a $1 million bond issue at 6% for 20 years
would require an $86,000 annual debt service payment. That
would represent a roughly 5% increase in rates to cover
annual debt service.

• WATER UTILITY PROJECTIONS
Attached are two Water Utility projections using different rate
and consumption models. Both models address the change in rates
necessary to ensure the continued positive operation of the fund
with the additional depreciation for the Water Plant addition.
Schedule A
Schedule A uses the water usage of 1993 to model the rates
necessary to continue positive fund operation. Of course, 1993
was an unusually wet year and resulted in low water usage. This
low usage has an adverse impact on the rate structure necessary
to break-even. After a worst case scenario rate increase of 13%,
the fund would appear to be able to sustain only minimal
increases for the next four years.
Pros
? This model may keep the fund positive even in a worst case
wet year scenario.
? This continued positive operation would assist the City in
maintaining its bond rating.
Cons
? This model assumes another wet year and requires a large 13%
rate increase in 1994.
? If 1994 is a dry year, this type of rate increase would not
• be necessary.
Schedule B
This model is based on a higher consumption rate based on an
average of the past several years. In this projection, a 5.4%
rate increase would allow the water fund to maintain a break-even
operation for 1994, with only minimal rate increases for the next
four years.
Pros
? This model allows for a moderate increase in 1994.
? The fund maintains a positive annual operation.
Cons
? If 1994 is another wet year, this rate increase will most
likely result in an operating loss for the year.
? If the fund experiences an operating loss, it could be
detrimental to the City's bond rating especially if it is in
conjunction with another loss in the Sanitary Sewer Fund.
Summary
Both models represent positive operation positions, differing
only in the assumption of usage due to weather conditions. Both
models also fully cover the cost of the depreciation of the
Water Plant and the new construction.

Council Letter No. 327
Agenda November 22, 1993
Issue Statement:
Resolution designating City's contribution toward health,
term life and dental insurance premium for General Services
and Management employees.
Background:
At the present time, the City contributes to the cost of
premiums for four kinds of insurance coverages available to
City employees. Management and General Services employee
contributions are discussed within this letter. Other
employees are covered under terms of labor agreements.
LIFE
A $15,000 term life insurance policy is provided for all
Management and General Services employees. The City pays the
full premium for this insurance, which is $2.55 per month per
employee for 1993.
The $15,000 limit is comparable to insurance provided by
other metropolitan municipalities. The 1994 rate will remain
. at $2.55 per month per employee.
DENTAL
The second type of insurance provided to Management and
General Services employees is a self-funded group dental
insurance. In 1993, the City contributed $22 per month per
employee for the total cost of employee (not dependent)
coverage. Employees who desire dependent coverage must pay
the full cost of such additional premium, which.for 1993 was
$30. Inasmuch as dental insurance is self-funded, the City
establishes the dental rates from year to year internally,
based upon administrative and benefit pay-out cost data. For
1994, the estimated cost of employee coverage is $23. While
the City does not contribute to dependent coverage for dental
insurance, for informational purposes, the rate the employee
will pay will be increased to $31 per month.
HEALTH
The third type of insurance coverage available to Management
and General Services employees is group health coverage.
Employees may select among three optional plans available
through the LOGIS Health Insurance Program. The City pays
the full individual employee premium and provides an
additional contribution toward dependent coverage up to a
specified maximum insurance premium.
The 1993 and 1994 monthly premium costs of the health plans are:
1993 Rate 1994 Rate $ Increase
Group Health Inc.
Individual $ 145.68 $ 158.13 8.54$
Family 397.48 431.44 8.54$
MedCenter Health Plan
Individual $ 146.90 160.71 9.40$
Family 437.25 478.35 19.39$
Medica
Individual S 187.16 187.16 0$
Family $ 430.92 449.05 4.20%
In 1994, the City's contribution for Management and General
Services employees will be increased by $30 to $315. The City's
contribution for Management and General Services employees as a
percent of premium over the past five years is shown in
Attachment 1.
LONG-TERM DISABILITY (LTD)
The fourth type of insurance provided to Management and General
Services employees is disability insurance. Short-term
disability insurance is self-funded out of the current operating
budget, similar to the manner in which sick leave costs are
covered. Long-term disability insurance (LTD) is provided
through a group LTD policy secured by the City. Currently, the
City pays a premium rate of 410 per $100 of salary for covered
employees, which is 140 less per $100 of salary than in
1992/1993.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the following actions be taken with
respect to the City's insurance contributions for Management and
General Services employees:
A. Life Insurance
That the term life insurance remain at $15,000 with a
premium charge of $2.55 per month per employee.
B. Dental Insurance
That the per employee per month contribution be increased
from $22 to $23. As in the past, employees who desire
dependent coverage would pay the full cost of such
additional premium.
C. Long-Term Disability Insurance
That the long-term disability insurance remain with a
premium charge of 410 per $100 of salary.
• D. Group Health Insurance
That the City contribution be increased from a maximum of
$285 per month to $315 per month per employee for dependent
coverage.
?-a
• Basis of Recommendation:
1. To provide adequate insurance protection for the Management
and General Services employee groups, which are comparable
to other City employee groups, as well as employees
performing similar jobs in comparable communities.
2. Greater benefit equality is achieved between female classes
found in General Services and Management groups and male
classes found in the contracted labor units.
3. The 1994 Budget includes the funding necessary to provide for
premium contribution increases recommended.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may take no action to increase the insurance
premiums beyond the current 1993 funding level.
•
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The City should implement the premium increases for coverages by
December 10, 1993. Payroll deductions for January insurance
payments, the beginning of the new insurance period, are
calculated in December.

Issue Statement:
Consideration of.a resolution denying the rezoning of land at

Background:
on November 8, 1993, the City Council conducted a public hearing
to consider the rezoning of 6438 and 6444 First Avenue from R

with the adjacent single family neighborhood.
4. The subject parcels have been zoned R.for several years.
5. The applicant did not demonstrate that changes have occurred

RE: Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. ("Norwest") - Application for Rezoning
Parcels at 6438 and 6444 First Avenue From Residential (R) to General
Commercial (C-2) ("Application")
Members of the City Council:
As a member of the Richfield City Council there is before you the matter represented by
the above referenced Application which has significant impact to the City of Richfield.
Norwest remains very committed to obtaining your approval for the rezoning of its two
residential lots.
• The purpose of this letter is twofold: First, Norwest will set forth in detail how it has
fully complied with the rezoning ordinance and application procedures and has met all of
the criteria for approval of its Application. Second, Norwest will address each of the key
issues raised at the second reading and public hearing on this matter in an attempt to make
clear the "facts" as distinct from the "fears". Upon receipt of the Findings of Fact that you
have directed the City's staff to develop in support of a motion to deny Norwest's
Application, we will again seek to respond directly to those Findings.
1. Compliance with Rezoning Process and Criteria
In full recognition of the requirements of the City's zoning ordinance which has the
underlying purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of
the City of Richfield, Norwest submitted the Application on August 2, 1993 to rezone two
lots (Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, First Federal Richfield Addition) from Residential to General
Commercial for the purpose of allowing improvements to Norwest's drive-up teller
facility.
On August 11, 1993, the City's Administrative Review Committee ("ARC") reviewed the
Application. Representatives of both the Inspection and Public Safety-Fire departments
had no comment to the proposed Application and the proposed plan for the site. The
Community Services-Engineering and the Planning and Zoning departments each required
additional documentation before the Application could be placed on the agenda of the
November 19, 1993
Page 2
City's Planning Commission. Those items were supplied by Norwest and the matter was
heard by the Planning Commission at its meeting on September 28, 1993, at which time
the ARC's (or Staffs) recommendation to the Commission was to "Approve the
rezoning application with stipulations."
The following stipulations were included in the Commissions "Preferred"
recommendation to approve the rezoning:
"1. That the City Council approve the request for an amended off-street
parking permit.
2. That entrance and exit signage be approved by the City.
3. That the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) not be included in the drive-up
teller area."
The basis for the Staffs recommendations were as follows:
"1. The proposal would be in compliance with the comprehensive
development plan for the City.
• 2. The improvement would alleviate the parking and traffic circulation
problems now present on this site.
3. The site layout and buffer yard would minimize the impact of the bank
operations, while improving the overall appearance of the site and
neighborhood.
4. The proposed site improvements would comply with City engineering
and landscape requirements.
5. Approval of the request would not constitute a spot zone, because
contiguous parcels to the west are zoned C-2." (emphasis added)
At its meeting on October 11, 1993, the City Council heard the first reading of the
Application and asked the City's Planning Commission to review Norwest's proposal
"with respect to the most appropriate and effective means to control land use if the
subject parcels are rezoned to C-2." A recommendation from the Commission was
sought by the Council based upon consideration of the following:
"1. replatting of the entire bank property into a single lot of record;
2. limiting the subject property only to uses incidental or accessory to the
adjacent principal (bank) use; and
is 3. placing of a restrictive covenant on the subject property."
November 19, 1993 17'
Page 3
• At the Council's direction, the Planning Commission at its meeting on October 26, 1993
considered these means to effectively control the use of the land to be rezoned and offered
the recommendation to the Council to add the following stipulation to approval of the
Application:
"That the applicant prepare and record against the property an instrument,
satisfactory to the City Attorney, that incorporates the site plan, landscaping,
buffering and access requirements and that restricts the future use of Lots 2-3,
Block 1, First Federal Richfield Addition (6438 & 6444 First Avenue) to use as a
drive-up teller facility and parking lot accessory to Lot 1, Block 1, First
Federal Richfield Addition (6445 Nicollet Avenue). The instrument must
provide that the restrictions may not be released without the approval of the City
Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota." (emphasis added)
Norwest has been and remains totally in agreement with the intent of this recommended
stipulation and has requested merely that the phrase "to use as a drive-up teller facility and
parking lot" be amended with language to expand the use to include "any use incidental to
banking, mortgage lending and insurance."
At the City Council's meeting on November 8, 1993, at the conclusion of the second
reading of the zoning ordinance amendment and public hearing relating to the Application,
• the Council directed the Staff to draft a resolution, together with findings of fact in
support thereof, denying Norwest's Application with the apparent intention of adopting
such a resolution at the City Council meeting on the evening of November 22, 1993.
Norwest remains firmly resolved in its goal to receive approval of its Application.
Norwest has met every single requirement of the City; we have conferred with our
neighbors at informational meetings held prior to the Planning Commission's September
26th meeting on two separate occasions regarding the proposed plan; Norwest has
incorporated residents' suggestions into its plan; we have offered to participate with our
neighborhood residents in mediation to resolve any remaining differences; and Norwest
stands ready to accept the stars recommended stipulation, which the Council suggested,
to control the use of the land after rezoning to General Commercial.
2. Response to Key Issues Raised During the
Public Hearing on November 8, 1993
It is unmistakenly clear to Norwest that acting in its legislative capacity in response to a
request such as Norwest's to amend the City's zoning ordinance, the City Council must
have as its primary consideration the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the City of Richfield.
It is equally as clear to Norwest that its proposal as outlined in the Application to rezone a
portion of its property is, in fact, totally consistent with the City's primary objective as well
November 19, 1993
11 Oe Page 4
as with the City's comprehensive development plan. Moreover, a denial of its Application
has no factual basis upon which the City Council can reasonably rely.
A. General Welfare
Norwest's proposed plan and intended use of its property reflects the past and present
utilization of the site which promotes the welfare of the City of Richfield as well as its
residents, many of whom are Norwest customers. The two lots in question will be used in
a manner consistent with and fully integrated into Norwest's use of its present drive-up
teller facility while at the same time creating an attractive and aesthetically pleasing buffer
zone to those residential properties adjacent to and across First Avenue from Norwest's
property. Moreover, the reconfiguration of the existing drive-up teller facility will result
in the substantially more efficient use of the site. Norwest will thus be able to better serve
its customers. Less waiting in lines and more available parking will, as the Staff
concluded, alleviate the present parking and traffic circulation problems while at the
same time minimize the impact of bank operations, while improving the overall
appearance of the site and neighborhood.
This positive impact of the improved appearance to the site should not be merely a
minor consideration. Not only will the rezoned lots take on a more "park like" appearance
due to the extensive berming and landscaping, it will also serve as attractive "screening"...
• to shield the view of bank operations and "provide a wide buffer yard in the east
portion of the subject parcels." (Quoted phrases are from the Planning Commission's
September 28th meeting).
The proposed buffer zone improvements become all the more important to remember in
view of the fact that whether Norwest's Application is approved or denied, the existing
house at 6444 First Avenue will be razed. Norwest will not continue to maintain the
residence and pay the non-homestead real estate taxes thereon. Redevelopment of this
property as a landscaped buffer will be considerably more appealing than two vacant lots.
From an economic point of view, for all parties concerned, including the neighboring
residents, the City and Norwest, the improvements contemplated by the Application will
be a benefit. To argue, as some of the residents have, from fear and not fact, that rezoning
of these two parcels will necessarily result in a decrease in value of the residential
properties, is a gross over generalization and does not take into account the aesthetic and
economic improvement to the rezoned site. Nor does it take into account the probable
alternative use, described in the preceding paragraph, for the Norwest owned parcels if
rezoning is not granted.
Relating to the general welfare of the public is the fact that Norwest is a good corporate
citizen of the City of Richfield. Norwest has been and will continue to strive to be a good
neighbor as well. Its continued growth and service to the residents of Richfield has been
• on the increase since the branch facility was constructed in the early 1960's. Norwest's
civic contributions both monetarily and by its employees are substantial. Norwest, based
November 19, 1993
Page 5
• on its growth, has reached a point where the increased utilization of its present site is
absolutely essential to enable it to better serve its Richfield customers. Norwest has
explored all viable options with respect to this site. The proposed plan as described in
the Application is the only option that makes sense from an economic and customer
relations perspective.
The residents' suggestion of building an underground parking ramp on the site is not
feasible both from a physical and financial point of view. The suggestion to attempt to
acquire the commercial building directly to the north of its property, is not only
speculative but does not seem to make economic sense for what Norwest can
profitably do at this banking location.
-1,(0
If the City Council denies Norwest's Application, the message to Norwest is clear. Either
Norwest must be content to serve its customers at a level of service that may be
unsatisfactory to the customer solely because Norwest cannot fully utilize its own
property; or Norwest should seek out another location that makes good business and
economic sense and which may or may not be found in Richfield.
B. Health and Safety
Of utmost importance to all parties concerned is the health and safety of the public in and
• around the site in question. It is well documented that the current entrance into Norwest's
property from Nicollet Avenue has been the scene of numerous automobile accidents
during the past two years. The proposed plan would improve an existing condition along
Nicollet Avenue by creating more "stacking" capacity at the Norwest drive-up teller
facility. Under the proposed plan Norwest will also be able to provide twelve more
parking stalls. This means customers in automobiles can conduct their banking business
in a more efficient and less time consuming manner thereby "alleviating" the traffic
congestion now present at the site.
One major concern expressed by the residents is that of more automobile traffic exiting
from Norwest's facility onto 65th Street and proceeding in an easterly direction towards
the residential neighborhood. Here again, the proposed plan provides for one exit that will
be distinctly angled toward the west and Nicollet Avenue, and will be posted with a sign
indicating that a left turn (proceeding easterly) from Norwest's facility will be prohibited.
This is in fact a distinct safety enhancing feature in the plan. At present, customers can
turn in either a westerly or easterly direction from the site. This will be made significantly
more difficult under the proposed plan. It is our understanding that the prohibition can be
enforced if necessary by City safety officials.
One other suggestion that was made during the review process was to make 65th Street a
one-way going in a westerly direction between First and Nicollet Avenues. Norwest
would support such a plan in connection with the approval of its rezoning Application.

The general public welfare and safety is best served by the approval of Norwest's
Application.
3. Summary
In summary and in conclusion, Norwest's Application for rezoning, to General
Commercial of its two Residential parcels at 6438 and 6444 First Avenue, should be
approved based upon the following facts:
Norwest's plan is in full and complete compliance with the City of
Richfield's comprehensive development plan.
2. Norwest's plan will in fact promote the health, safety and general
welfare of the public.
There is no rational or legal basis in fact relating to promoting the public
health, safety or welfare that supports or justifies a denial of this
Application.
4. The use by Norwest of the two lots in question will not remain
residential regardless of the City Council's action on the Application
• resulting in a lesser valued tag base for the City, if Norwest's Application
is denied.
5. To deny Norwest's Application in light of the facts, as opposed to fears
expressed by residents, could reasonably be interpreted to be
arbitrary and capricious.
Based upon the foregoing, Norwest's Application should be approved.
Sincerely,
NORWEST BANK MINNESOTA, N.A.

Agenda November 22, 1993
Issue Statement:
Continuation of?a public hearing and second reading of an
ordinance amendment to classify pawn operations, secondhand goods
operations which require a license under Section 1186 of the City
Code, auction houses, and consignment auction houses as
conditional uses in the C-2 (general commercial) and I
(industrial) districts.
Background:
The zoning ordinance does not adequately address the
classification of pawn shops, secondhand goods dealers, and
auction houses. Last year, the City Council imposed a one year
study moratorium on the development of these uses. The purpose
of the moratorium was to protect the planning process; to protect
the health, safety, and welfare of City residents; and to allow
adequate time to develop regulations for such uses.
Over the past several months, the Planning Commission and staff
have been reviewing relevant planning and land use issues, which
include the following:
? The particular zoning districts in which such uses shall be
• allowed as either a permitted or a conditional use.
? The concentration and density of such uses in the City and
its neighborhoods.
? The effect of such uses on other uses in the area, and ways
to minimize any adverse impacts.
? The possible need for modifications to the licensing
regulations.
The Planning Commission and staff review found that such uses
should be restricted to the C-2 and I districts to prevent
inharmonious land uses and reviewed individually through the
conditional use permit process. The proposed ordinance regulates
the density of such uses by setting minimum spacing requirements
between such uses and residentially zoned property, schools,
churches, daycare centers, and public institutions. The
ordinance has provisions to minimize adverse impacts by
addressing parking, screening, noise concerns, and traffic
safety. The ordinance also grandfathers in such uses which are
legally existing, but which may not meet the specific conditions
set by the ordinance.
The City Licensing Division is not recommending any changes to
the licensing regulations for such uses at the present time.
Recommended Motion:
• Adopt the attached ordinance approving an amendment which
classifies pawn operations, secondhand goods operations which
require a license under Section 1186 of the City Code, auction
houses, and consignment auction houses as conditional uses in the
C-2 and I districts.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The proposed ordinance amendment would classify such uses,
allowing them in the C-2 and I districts with a conditional
use permit.
2. Conditions for the granting of a conditional use permit have
been established to protect and promote the public health,
safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general
welfare of the City and its residents.
3. On August 24, 1993, the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval of this ordinance amendment.
4. On October 26, 1993, the Planning Commission voted 5-3
against recommending the inclusion of currency exchanges in
this ordinance. The Planning Commission is studying this
issue for possible future inclusion in this or a separate
provision.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide not to adopt the amendment.
2. The Council could modify the amendment.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled at 7 p.m. on
Monday, November 22, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.

Agenda November 22, 1993
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a request for a new 1993 on-sale wine license
for Kiang's Red Pepper, Inc., d/b/a Red Pepper Chinese
Restaurant, 2902 West 66th Street.
Background:
On September 23, 1993, the City received the new application and
other required documents for a wine license for Red Pepper
Chinese Restaurant. The applicant has paid the required license
fees.
The Public Safety background investigation has been completed and
reveals the following:
? Mr. Ricky Kiang has made application for an on-sale wine
license under the name Kiang's Red Pepper, Inc., d/b/a Red
Pepper Chinese Restaurant. The corporate structure shows that
Mr. Ricky Kiang is serving as President, Vice-President,
Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Kiang will be serving as the
General Manager of the restaurant and is the sole owner. Mr.
Kiang has no known criminal record.
• ? Background criminal history record checks indicate that Ricky
Kiang has no known criminal history and no outstanding
warrants.
? The lease between the applicant and the property owner, Carlson
Real Estate Company, is in effect until December 1, 2003 and
renewable at that time.
? The required proof of liquor liability insurance coverage will
be supplied by Farmers Insurance Group as affording the
required coverage. Proof of workers' compensation insurance
will also be supplied by Farmers Insurance Group.
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 letter.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the issuance of a new 1993 on-sale wine license for Red
Pepper Chinese 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 a On-Sale Wine
license.
5-l
• 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.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
The public hearing to consider the request for the issuance of a
new on-sale wine license for Kiang's Red Pepper, Inc., d/b/a Red
Pepper Chinese Restaurant has been scheduled for November 22,
1993 and is being presented to Council at this time. .

CITY OF RICHFIELD
RESOLUTION NO. 7380
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. BAC"'KnRnTTNn STATRMRNT
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 thi.s 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
5,3
welfare and which constitutes a violation of the provisions of
Section 1200 of the City Code may also subject liquor licenses to
discipline The actions which the City may take in accordance
with this resolution are not intended to preclude such further
actions such as actions in law or in equity or criminal

A. NnigP and nthAr Djqturhincl Conduct Within nr NPar 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
• such five incidents) - suspension of the license for
54
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
• make requests for service in situations where the licensee is
s5
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

Open Bottle Law. The following discipline may be imposed upon

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.

RED PEPPER CHINESE RESTAURANT
2902 West 66th Street
Richfield, Minnesota 55423
October 28, 1993
John Erskine, Public Safety Director
Richfield, Minnesota 55423
Dear Mr. Erskine,
I am planning to open a Chinese restaurant at 2902 West 66th Street.
The interior is being completely renovated. It is expected to be completed
by November 7, 1993
Please refer my request for an on sale 3.2 beer license to the Mayor and
Council, as I understand that the limit of nine 3.2 beer licenses has been
filled. I would appreciate the City to give serious consideration to increase
that number to ten.
Having the ability to serve wine and 3.2 beer to my customers at their
dining table only, would mean a great deal to those customers who would like
is a little wine or 3.2 beer served with their meal My past experience over the
last 11 years managing other Chinese restaurants in other parts of the South-
western Suburbs gives me the experience to estimate that 5 to 10% of gross sales
would come from wine and 3.2 beer combined.
We intend to create a family style, smoke free restaurant that will give
the citizens of Richfield another option for dining in Richfield or even for
take out. We want to be a good neighbor and hope it also would help create
customers for the other businesses in the area.
Please refer any correspondence to my home address until I can officially
occupy my restaurant.
S' cerely,

Council Letter No. 323
Agenda November 22, 1993
•
Issue Statement:
Approval of Change Order No. 1, decreasing the original contract
amount by $5,812 for Bor-Son Construction, Inc. Contract No.
2543, City Project 703-1592, Water Treatment Plant modifications.
Background:
As work on•the Water Treatment Conference/Training Room
progressed, some changes in the original contract were necessary.
The existing floor was stronger than anticipated, which allowed
deletion of the modified structural slab, grade beams and pile
caps. Two concrete stoops and frost footings were added to the
original work, and the brick veneer from the existing outer wall
was removed. The total of the changes in materials and labor
result in a net savings of $5,812.
Recommended Motion:
Approve Change Order No. 1, for a net decrease in the amount of
$5,812, City Project 703-1592, for Contract No. 2543 between the
City of Richfield and Bor-Son Construction, Inc.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The changes became apparent during the construction process.
2. The work has been done.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the consent calendar of the November 22, 1993
Council meeting.
R c fully submitted,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 322
Agenda November 22, 1993
Issue Statement:
Approve a purchase in excess of $5,000 for personal computers.
Background:
The Community Development Department has,a personal computer (PC)
network which was installed this summer. At that time, a file
server for the network and new equipment for the Section 8 staff
was purchased. Personal computers already owned by the City and
located in the department were also attached to the network at
the same time. The file server and network software was
purchased with sufficient capacity to handle the additional PCs
planned for the department.
Staff is now requesting authorization to purchase six additional
PCs to complete the Community Development network. One of these
PCs will replace an obsolete PC, one will replace an older Unisys
computer, and four will be used by staff who currently either
share PCs with others or in most cases do not have access to a
PC. Department activity is at an all time high and PCs provide
the means to greater productivity and decreased dependence on
outside professional services. This results in an overall cost
savings because staff are able to provide expanded services for
the City which previously would have been hired from the outside.
Some expanded areas of staff expertise are graphics, cash flow
projections and many documents, reports and flyers which can be
made "print/copy ready" by the in-house computer capabilities.
Staff requested and received written quotes from four vendors:
PC Express, Portico Computers, PC Tailors and Pony Computer. The
lowest prices and best warranties were offered by Portico
Computers at a total cost of $13,162.35 including sales tax.
The quoted price includes only operating system software (DOS).
If the Council authorizes this equipment purchase, staff will
purchase the remaining software needed from a Hennepin County
contract. This will include Windows, word processing and
spreadsheet packages for about $2,000 including tax.
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:
Authorize the City Manager to purchase six personal computers in
the amount of $13,162.35 from Portico Computers.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Portico Computers quoted the lowest prices for most items and
agreed to match the lowest price on the remainder.
4E-1
2. Portico's warranty is the best offered by the three vendors
considered. It covers almost all parts and 100% of the labor
for five years. Portico will come to City Hall to make the
necessary repairs rather than staff having to transport or
ship the equipment to them.
3. The quotes were very competitive and the City is benefiting by
getting the equipment at very low prices.
4. The City has purchased similar computer equipment from Portico
and staff have been satisfied with the quality of the
equipment and service.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could direct staff to seek quotes from additional
vendors and report back at a later date.
2. The Council could withhold approval of the purchase.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council action to authorize this purchase is requested at the
November 22 meeting. If action is delayed more than 30 days,
staff will need to seek new price quotes.

licensed building movers. An open house was held October 26, 1993. Bid
specifications and instructions were available at the open house and at
City Hall. Approximately 24 bid packages were distributed. Bids were

to the highest successful bidders, as indicated on the attached Exhibit
B.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The recommended successful bidders for each structure submitted the
highest complete bid, as required.
2. All appropriate guidelines were followed.
3. Revenue in the amount of $181,314.59 will be generated as a result

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 320
Agenda November 22, 1993
Issue Statements
Council authorization to enter into Contract No. A01384 with
Hennepin County to allow continued access to the property
information system.
Background:
Since September 19, 1978 Hennepin County and the City have had a
contractual agreement which provides the City with access to the
County's real estate tax information. From 1978 through October
1989, the City had access to the County's real estate data via a
leased Hennepin County data terminal and printer. In November
1990, the City Council approved the purchase of the Hennepin
County data terminal, software and printer when the County
announced that it was getting out of the leasing business. After
purchase of the equipment, the City entered into Contract No.
A09689 with Hennepin County to provide continued access to the
County data with the City's owned equipment.
That contract has provided the City with an extremely economical
way to access Hennepin County real estate data. The contract is
not automatically renewable and must be renewed each year by the
• City and County. The City has now received information from
Hennepin County announcing the fees for the contract year 1993
and is asking if the City is interested in renewing this
contractual agreement. The Council action here would be to take
advantage of the renewal.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the City Manager to execute Contract No. A01384 with
Hennepin County for access to the property information system for
the period beginning January 1, 1994 and ending December 31,
1994.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The current contract with Hennepin County expires as of
December 31, 1993.
2. The contract is a necessary part of the City of Richfield's
ability to deliver property data to the public through the
on-line connection to Hennepin County records.
3. The County has announced that inquiry fees will be charged at
the rate of $.0218 per transaction, which is slightly less
than the fee charged in 1993.
• 4. The network support charge will remain at $39 per month for
the one workstation. The telephone line charge will remain
at $74.60 per month, subject to rate increases/decreases in
phone line charges.
• 5. The contract with Hennepin County is a very economical way
for the City to provide this data to the public.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City could elect not to renew this contract with Hennepin
County. However, if this contract is not renewed, the City
would lose its on-line access to County property tax records,
leaving the City's Assessing Division a very ineffective
function.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this item needs to be taken sometime prior to the end
of 1993. However, since City staff finds no problem with the
arrangement proposed by Hennepin County, it is preferred that the
agreement be signed and returned to Hennepin County as soon as
possible.
