CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 236
Agenda August 9, 19;93
Issue Statement:
Setting special meetings for 1993 Revised/1994 Proposed budget
and setting preliminary tax levy.
Background: ,
City staff •is now in the process of preparing the draft 1993
Revised/1994 Proposed budget. Included in that draft document is
the proposed preliminary property tax levy for the City of
Richfield. The Truth in Taxation statute requires that a
preliminary levy be adopted by the local units of government and
certified to the County Auditor on or before September 15 of each
year.
In order to review the draft budget document with the City
Council prior to the September 15 deadline, it is necessary to
establish at least one special City Council meeting. For the
current year, staff is proposing that such special meetings be
set for the following dates:
7:00 p.m. Wednesday, September 1, 1993
7:00 p.m. Wednesday, September 8, 1993 (if.necessary)
• The above suggested meetings should provide adequate time to
review the budget document and proposed tax levy. The adoption
of the preliminary levy and dates for the Truth in Taxation
public hearings could either be adopted at one of the special
meetings listed above or at the September 13, 1993 regular City
Council meeting.
Recommended Motion:
Set the dates of September 1 and September 8, 1993 (if necessary)
as Special City Council meetings to review and discuss the 1993
Revised/1994 Proposed budget and 1994 preliminary tax levy prior
to certification to the County on September 15, 1993.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. It is necessary to review and discuss the 1993 Revised/1994
Proposed budget and 1994 preliminary tax levy prior to
certification to the County on September 15, 1993.
2. Draft budget documents will be available to City Council
Members on August 16. This will allow some time for Council
Members to review the draft budget before the scheduled
meetings.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could schedule meetings on a different
• date(s) than those suggested.
1?-I
2. The City Council could schedule additional sessions than
those suggested.
3. The City Council could decide not to schedule any budget
meetings and proceed with the preliminary levy at a regular
City Council meeting between August 9 and September 15, 1993.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Because of the strict timeframe associated with the Truth in
Taxation process, this issue should be considered at the August
9, 1993 meeting so dates for special meetings may be established
if the City Council wishes to use that process.

• CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 235
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Adoption of a resolution approving a statutory increase in the
PERA Police/Fire Fund benefit formula.
Background:
In the most recent legislative session, the Legislature approved
Chapter 352 which increases the multiplier rate for employees who
are part of the PERA Police and Fire Fund. The change increases
the multiplier rate from 2.5% to 2.65% per year of service. The
multiplier is then applied to the average salary of the highest
five years of salary earnings.
In addition to changing the multiplier rate, the legislation also
reduced the employer contribution for PERA Police and Fire
employees from 12% to 11.4%.
While the statute became effective on July 1, 1993 for most PERA
Police and Fire Fund members, the law provides a provision that
individual cities must approve the benefit increase where a
consolidated local pension plan is involved. Richfield
consolidated its Police Relief Association with PERA Police and
Fire on December 31, 1991. Thus, Richfield must act on this
• increase before it may be applied to Richfield Police personnel
who were part of the consolidated Relief Association Plan.
City staff requested an actuarial report of the cost implications
of approving the benefit increase and found that while it would
decelerate the progress toward full funding of the consolidated
account by 2010, the increase would not require additional cash
payments by the City to PERA based on current projections. In
fact, the net effect of the benefit increase according to the
actuarial report is a decrease in annual cash contributions by
the City because of the statutory change in the employer
contribution rate.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the benefit increase of
the PERA Police and Fire Fund.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City has received an actuarial report on the impact of
the benefit increase in the PERA Police and Fire Fund and
found it to be negligible.
2. The majority of the Police Officers on the Richfield staff
who are part of the PERA Police and Fire Fund will
automatically receive this benefit increase because they
• were not part of the consolidated fund. In order to
maintain equity among the employees, the benefit increase
must also be approved for the members of the consolidated
fund.
Q'I
• 3. A number of the members of the consolidated fund have
approached the City and asked that the benefit increase be
approved. It is their position that they voted to
consolidate on the belief that their benefit level would be
the same as other PERA Police and Fire Fund employees.
4. This may be the last benefit enhancement that the PERA Police
and Fire Fund experiences for a significant period of time
inasmuch as the "overfunding" of that fund will now be
reduced to a level of 105%. The reduction in the employer
contribution will likely keep the fund from growing in the
funding level.
5. The net cash effect of this benefit increase is actually a
small cash savings to the City because of the reduced
employer contribution rate coupled with the actuarial report
that.no additional annual funding is needed to attain full
funding by 2010 because of this change.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could decide not to approve this benefit
increase.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this matter is requested at the August 9, 1993 City
• Council meeting so that the affected employees will be aware of
the City's position on this matter as close to the effective date
of the legislation as possible.

• RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION APPROVING BENEFIT INCREASE TO
PERA POLICE AND FIRE FUND
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature has approved a bill to
increase the benefit level of PERA Police and Fire Fund employees
by increasing the multiplier from 2.5% to 2.65% per year of
service of the average of the high five salary years; and
WHEREAS, the legislation providing for the benefit increase
requires local approval of all cities which have a consolidated
local pension plan with PERA Police.and Fire Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Richfield Police Relief Association
consolidated their pension plan with the PERA Police and Fire
Fund as of December 31, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield has obtained an actuarial
report of the impact of the benefit increase to the City which
projects no additional annual cash contribution by the City; and
WHEREAS, employees of the consolidated fund have requested
that the City approve the benefit increase; and
WHEREAS, the benefit increase approval would place all PERA
• Police employees of the City of Richfield at the same benefit
formula.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Richfield that the benefit increase from 2.5% TO 2.65% in
the multiplier for members of the PERA Police and Fire Fund be
approved for members of the consolidated Richfield fund.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield,
Minnesota this 9th day of August, 1993.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 234
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Council approval to extend the current two year contract with
Chief's Towing for a two year period.
Background:
In 1989, a bidding process was conducted to award a contract for
the towing, impounding and storage of vehicles. This service is
requested most often by the Public Safety Department and is used to
tow and impound vehicles during certain arrests, criminal
investigations, hazardous parking or abandoned vehicle situations.
Chief's Towing, Bloomington, Minnesota, was awarded the contract
for the period October 1, 1989 through September 30, 1991.
The detailed specifications of the contract provide that the
contract may be extended on a bi-yearly basis upon mutual agreement
between both parties. Application for extension must be initiated
by the performing contractor and must be submitted in writing at
least 60 days prior to the date of contract expiration. On August
12, 1991, the Council extended the contract through September 30,
1993.
Chief's has again submitted an application for renewal more than 60
• days prior to September 30, 1993, as required, and has again agreed
to the same prices and specifications.
Recommended Motion:
Approve a resolution to extend the existing towing contract with
Chief's for the period October 1, 1993 through September 30, 1995.
Basis for Recommendation:
Staff is satisfied with the performance of Chief's Towing during
the past two year contract and extension and recommends extension.
Since all terms and prices of the previous contracts remain the
same, there should be no need to begin a lengthy bidding process.
Alternative Recommendation:
Begin a new bidding process with a new contract and price.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Since the existing contract extension expires September 30, 1993,
the resolution by the Council should be done as soon as possible.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 233
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and second reading of an ordinance amendment to
rezone certain parcels east of Xerxes Avenue between 62nd Street
and 64th Street from MR (multiple residence) to MR-1 (two family
residential) or R (single family residential).
Background:
Staff has the zoning ordinance under review for revision and
update. Initial analysis indicates that the MR district is not
effective because its provisions are incomplete, outdated and
ambiguous. The MR district has no density limitation and
incorporates the single family uses of the R district as well as
the two family, multi-family and group housing developments.
The MR district was the original and only multi-family district
when Richfield's growth occurred. Later, the MR-1 (two family),
MR-2 (multi-family), and MR-3 (high density multi-family)
districts were created to provide more precise controls for the
expanding variety of multi-family housing. When the MR-1, MR-2
and MR-3 districts were added, most MR zoned land was rezoned to
fit into that classification system. The intention was for all
MR zoned land to be rezoned but approximately 90 parcels of land
• in about 25 areas of the City are still zoned MR. These parcels
are being evaluated and presented for reclassification to the
most appropriate land use zone.
The proposed zoning designations for the subject parcels are
consistent with existing land use and, therefore, will remain
conforming uses.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached ordinance amendment approving the rezoning of
certain parcels on the east side of Xerxes Avenue between 62nd
Street and 64th Street from MR to MR-1 or R.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. This rezoning will help to bring the zoning map up to date
with current land use practices and the comprehensive plan.
None of the uses will become nonconforming as a result of the
rezoning.
2. An MR zone is no longer an appropriate zoning district in the
City and an update to a more appropriate district is called
for whether or not the text of the zoning ordinance is
changed.
3. If the text of the zoning ordinance is updated later this
• year eliminating the MR district, then it would be apropos to
have eliminated such designated areas before the text change.
? - i
. 4. The proposed MR-1 zoning is most appropriate for the existing
duplex uses in this area, and would ensure that higher
density development (as allowed under the MR provisions) does
not occur.
5. The proposed R zoning is most appropriate for the existing
church use on the south end of this area, while offering
proper regulatory control for future land uses.
6. On June 22, 1993, the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could deny this rezoning with a finding that
such rezoning would have an adverse impact on the subject
parcels, adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing and second reading is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on
Monday, August 9, 1993. The hearing will be held in the City
Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue.
Notice of hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to
property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.

Council Letter No.232
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Public hearing for consideration of an application for a new
residential kennel license for Joanne Ecklund, 7001 Penn
Avenue.
Background:
On June 2,.1993, Joanne Ecklund submitted an application for
a residential kennel license. She owns six cats (four are
Domestic Short Hairs and two are Domestic Medium Hairs). Ms.
Ecklund's application had all contiguous property owners'
signatures on it.
On June 12, 1993, an inspection of the property was conducted
by a Community Service Officer. There were no apparent
problems found at that time.
The City has adopted a policy that staff notify neighbors
surrounding the area of the residential kennel license.
Staff has received letters from three of these neighbors and
telephone calls from five others. Some of the concerns
mentioned involve a garden being used as a litter box, cats
urinating in and on their garage, two neighbors complained
that the cats roam around and kill birds. Several of the
neighbors feel the cats should not be allowed to run free.
One neighbor mentioned that she would not dispute the kennel
license if the cats were kept inside and not allowed to run
free.
Although this application is for six cats it does not exceed
the maximum number of six animals that was approved by the
Council as policy on July 22, 1991.
Recommended Motion:
Staff recommends that the application for a residential
kennel license be denied.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. It is up to the animal owner to prove that the keeping of
more than two cats does not have an adverse effect on the
neighborhood. The City has been contacted by neighbors
who have concerns that staff believes have caused an
adverse effect on the neighborhood.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to approve Ms. Ecklund's
residential kennel license. This would mean that she
would be able to keep her six cats.
?-I
• Discussion/Decision Mode:
Recommendation to deny the application for a residential kennel
license for Joanne Ecklund, 7001 Penn Avenue, is presented for
Council consideration at this time.

• Council Letter No.226
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for installation of new light
fixtures over the ice at the Ice Arena.
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 fluorescent lighting fixtures at the Ice Arena are original.
They are deteriorated and have less reflective capability than
when new. The lamps are very high output, expensive to operate
and require regular changing.
New bi-level metal halide fixtures were ordered in June and have
been delivered. The cost to operate the new fixtures will be
about 40% less than the existing system and require less
maintenance.
The installation will include the removal of the existing
fixtures, re-wiring of the ceiling fans and retrofitting of the
. new fixtures and controls. The installation of the new lights
and control panel needs to be completed by August 23, 1993 in
order to remove the ice and install a new sheet of ice by
September 10.
The project was advertised in the Construction Bulletin and
notices were sent to five specific contractors. Three
contractors visited the Arena for the pre-quotation meeting and
requested specifications for the project. 'Two quotes were
submitted. The third contractor indicated afterwards that he
would not be able to complete the job in the time scheduled.
The cost for the installation of the fixtures would be financed
by Northern States Power Company (NSP). The City will make a
monthly payment of approximately the current monthly electric
charges. The difference in actual usage and the amount paid
would pay off NSP. There is no capital cost outlay to the Arena.
There are two quotes for the installation required:
1. Eagan-McKay Electrical Contractors, Inc. $ 14,973
7100 Medicine Lake Road
Minneapolis, MN 55427
2. Master Electric Company, Inc. •$ 24,500
• 12467 Boone Avenue South
Savage, MN 55378
56-1
Recommended Motion:
Approve a purchase order in the amount of $14,973 to Eagan-McKay
Electrical Contractors, Inc.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Eagan-McKay submitted the lowest quotation.
2. Reasonable if not extensive effort was made to make vendors
aware of the project. Despite limited response, the price
quoted is approximately as expected; i.e., under $15,000.
3. The new lighting.fixtures will improve the lighting in the
Arena, be less expensive to operate and require less
maintenance.
4. Financing is available through NSP.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Authorize the purchase from the second vendor submitting a
quotation. However, that quotation is much higher.
2. Direct staff to seek additional quotations. However, if the
quote is not accepted, then the installation cannot be
completed this year. The City would then become responsible
for the payment of over $13,000 for the new fixtures already
delivered.
• Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is schedule on the consent calendar for the Council
meeting of August 9. Action is requested at this time to be
assured of installation during the Arena maintenance shutdown.

Council Letter No. 225
Agenda August 9, 1993
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for electrical work done in
conjunction with the Central Garage demolition project.
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.
When the 77th Street improvement funding on the federal level
became available late last year, the plans for construction
included extending 77th Street through a portion of the Richfield
Municipal Garage which lies in the proposed right-of-way of 77th
Street. This required demolition of approximately 150 feet of
the garage building. The two ends of the building that remain
were capped off with new walls. New utility services were
provided to each building and extensive work was performed to
reconnect electrical systems, heating systems and plumbing
systems.
The electrical work on this project was performed by Linden
• Electric, the City's contractor, on a time and materials basis.
City staff assisted in the work wherever possible. Total cost to
accomplish this changeover, including City labor, directly
purchased materials, and contracted labor and materials, has been
about $22,000. Some of these costs, an estimated $4,000, will be
eligible for reimbursement to the City by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. Engineer's preliminary cost
estimates for this work were $31,700. By using the approach
outlined above, the work was completed for less than the
engineer's estimate. Linden Electric's present invoice for labor
and equipment is $14,988.43.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize payment of $14,988.43 to Linden Electric for electrical
work, labor and materials, in conjunction with the Central Garage
demolition project.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The work was required as part of the demolition project.
2. The work was completed in an economical manner.
3. The new services to the disrupted buildings are functioning
properly.
• Alternative Recommendation:
None.

Discussion/Decision Mode:

Council agenda. Action is requested at this time so payment may
be made for work completed.
