Study Session Letter No. 27
Agenda May 6, 1991
Issue Statement:
Information and discussion regarding 1991 Revised/1992 Proposed
Budget strategies and schedule.
Background:
The City has begun its 1991 Revised/1992 Proposed Budget process.
The initial informational meetings and forms distribution were
done on April 24, 1991, with a statutory deadline of September 1
to submit a preliminary tax levy to Hennepin County to meet truth
in taxation targets. The following information will present a
schedule and process framework associated with this year's
budget.
® Schedule
A budget calendar has been implemented to assist the City in
meeting deadlines necessary to comply with truth in taxation
preliminary levy requirements. After the September 1, 1991
preliminary deadline has passed, a new budget calendar will be
implemented to meet publication and public hearing requirements
prior to submission of a final levy in late December. The
following schedule provides a framework through September 1,

Last day to submit preliminary levy to
Hennepin County.
s Legislative Environment
The legislative environment for this year's budget process is one
of uncertainty. Legislative proposals to meet the state's
current budget crises have varied greatly, with some proposed
changes likely to severely impact upon the City. Obviously,
Local Government Aid (LGA) reductions such as those proposed by
the Governor would not only force drastic reductions in services,
but also could cause significant local tax increases.
More recently, a variety of options for state revenue increases
which do away with large LGA cuts and significantly mitigate
potential property tax increases have been introduced. The
attached excerpt from the Minneapolis Star Tribune summarizes the
most significant such proposals and the resulting revenue impact.
® Current Budget Adjustments
Budget Adjustments 1991/1992
As Council Members know, the City will lose $200,000 of its 1991
LGA payment in July. This loss represents one half of the entire
general fund expenditure budget increase from 1990 to 1991. In
order to meet this unanticipated revenue loss, each department
has been asked to review their respective 1991 budgets to
identify across the board cuts and/or reliable revenue
enhancements which would cumulatively total $200,000.
With respect to budgeting for the 1992 Proposed General Fund
Budget, departments were instructed to prepare a two-scenario
budget. One scenario followed a 4% salary increase package built
into a 3.5% total budget increase over the reduced 1991 budget.
The second scenario calls for no increases in salary plans for
1992, including all bargaining unit positions, with no overall
budget increase for 1992 over reduced 1991 levels. Each
scenario, even the one featuring an overall 3.5% increase over
reduced 1991 budget levels, will be extremely difficult to
prepare without making fairly significant cuts in current
services provided.
:0
i Suagestions for the Public Employees
With the budget framework there has also been a direct effort to
obtain suggestions on economizing or modifying operations from
City employees. Departments have used group meetings and/or
individual discussion to gain insight from individuals on how the
City could provide services more efficiently or what services
might be reduced or eliminated. A number of valuable suggestions
have been discussed.
In addition, suggestions from the general public have been
solicited. While the public input has been relatively light,
staff is seriously examining each of those suggestions with a
sensitivity to cost savings suggestions.
Suggestions from the City Council
Staff would also welcome suggestions from the City Council
concerning the 1991 Revised/1992 Proposed budget. Suggestions
early in the budget process are more helpful than those received
after the process has reached the stage of having a draft budget
document for review by the City Council. Any suggestions should
be given directly to the City Manager.
Recommended Motion:
Discuss the budget process, timeframe and environmental factors.
• Basis for Recommendation:
1. The budget process is just now commencing for the 1991
Revised/1992 Proposed budget.
2. Input early on in the process allows for more meaningful
input into the budget process.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Discussion of the budget schedule and process are set for the May
6, 1991 study session to provide an appropriate timeframe for
input.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 26
Agenda May 6, 1991
Issue Statement:
Discussion of an ordinance regulating the parking of trailers attached
to vehicles used for commercial activities on City streets.
Background:
Public Safety has received some complaints of trailers attached to
commercial vehicles parked on public streets.
The current ordinances of the City do not address this problem except if
the trailer is attached to a vehicle and is parked more than 48 hours,
or is unattached and parked more than two (2) hours. If it were a
commercial trailer, it could only be parked for two hours. Boat,
snowmobile, all-terrain, and utility trailers under 10,000 pounds GVW
are exempt from the two hour limit. These are currently allowed to park
for 48 hours, attached to a motorized vehicle.
Recommendation:
Staff was directed to look at solutions which would limit the parking of
trailers that are attached to a towing vehicle used for commercial
activities on City streets for more than two hours.
Staff consistently receives complaints regarding this issue. Current
ordinances regulate commercial trailers over 10,000 lbs. and limit them
to two hours. Other vehicles, including recreational vehicles or
utility trailers attached to tow vehicles, can park up to 48 hours on
City streets. Trailers attached to tow vehicles used for commercial
activities are a safety hazard and City streets are not meant to be a
storage area for commercial vehicles.
Alternative Recommendations:
1. Restrict the parking of trailers entirely. This could create more
confusion and is not necessary.
2. Do nothing. Leave the ordinances as is which would allow these
vehicles to remain on City streets up to 48 hours.
3. Increase or decrease the number of hours from two on the parking of
these vehicles. This, however is inconsistent with other ordinances
(i.e., trucks, 2 hours).
Decision/Discussion Mode:
Discussion of an ordinance regulating the parking of trailers attached
to vehicles used for commercial activities on City streets.

DRAFT ORDINANCE
Trailers. No person may park or let stand for more than two (2)
hours on any public street or highway a trailer of any gross
weight, in commercial or noncommercial use, when said trailer is
attached to a tow vehicle which is used, in whole or in part, for
commercial purposes; except that parking shall be permitted
during active commercial activity at a site if such trailer/tow
vehicle is currently engaged in commercial activity at the site
adjacent to where it is parked and that such activity requires
the parking of the trailer/tow vehicle at the site and that the
commercial activity is underway by persons at the site
• contemporaneous to the parking of the trailer/tow vehicle.

Study Session Letter No. 24
Agenda May 6, 1991
Issue Statement:
Consideration of Council authorization to formally request
approval by Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) of a
resolution authorizing the joint feasibility study of a New Ford
Town/Rich Acres buyout, relocation and redevelopment.
Background:
Residents within New Ford Town and Rich Acres have previously
indicated a desire that their homes be bought out and that they
be relocated. Residents within this area are experiencing
continued noise from airport operations. At the same time, the
residents are experiencing an uncertain future due to various and
continuing proposals for airport expansion. This uncertainty has
caused economic and social disinvestment within those
neighborhoods.
The City Council has previously authorized the staff to initiate
a process which would lead to a proposal for the buyout of New
Ford Town and Rich Acres by Metropolitan Airports Commission.
The result of that initial effort by staff and consultants
indicates the following:
• e There are a variety of financial mechanisms available which
would provide a viable financing mechanism to accomplish the
buyout, relocation and redevelopment.
e An acquisition, relocation, property management capacity can
be developed in order to accomplish a buyout within a three
to five year period.
e There are a variety of viable redevelopment options for the
New Ford Town/Rich Acres area including direct airport uses
as well as airport related uses.
e There is a net tax loss to the City and school district if
these neighborhoods are bought out. It will be necessary to
provide a mechanism to reimburse both the City and the
schools for this net tax loss.
With the completion of this preliminary analysis, it is
appropriate to initiate direct discussions with the Metropolitan
Airports Commission in order to develop a financing mechanism and
management plan in order to accomplish the buyout, relocation and
redevelopment. MAC needs to be involved with those discussions
in order that a product acceptable to them is developed for
consideration by the MAC board.
r 1
A resolution has been prepared which would authorize MAC and City
• staff to initiate this feasibility study process. It is
anticipated that the City of Richfield would continue to provide
staff support for the service but that MAC would provide payment
for the majority of the cost of consultants necessary to complete
final analysis.
Some of the specific issues that will be included in the
feasibility study include:
1. Development of a work plan, specifically describing the
issues that will need to be analyzed and the method of
analysis.
2. Financial analysis, including identification of potential
funding sources.
3. Legal and regulatory requirements to permit acquisition,
relocation and redevelopment.
4. Acquisition, relocation, demolition and management.
5. Disposition of redevelopment alternatives.
6. Identification and mitigation of financial impacts on City
and school finances.

Recommended Motion:
1. Review the resolution which would authorize the feasibility
analysis of New Ford Town/Rich Acres buyout, relocation and
redevelopment and the accompanying draft letter to be sent to
MAC.
2. Authorize staff to establish a neighborhood meeting to inform
the public, particularly New Ford Town and Rich Acres
residents, of our intention to request MAC to participate in
this analysis.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Residents within Rich Acres and New Ford Town have previously
indicated a desire for their homes to be purchased and they
be relocated.
2. Metropolitan Airports Commission staff has previously
indicated a desire to assist the City in redeveloping New
Ford Town and Rich Acres.
. 3. It is necessary for the City to propose a positive action to
proceed with a buyout, relocation and redevelopment effort.
• 4. It will be necessary for MAC to participate in a feasibility
analysis in order that they are comfortable with the
recommended funding and management mechanisms.
5. Preliminary analysis by staff and consultants indicates
viable financing and management options are available to
accomplish the buyout, relocation and redevelopment effort.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council may decide to take additional time to examine
options.
2. The Council may direct staff to initiate the feasibility
analysis effort independent of MAC.
3. The Council may decide to take no action on this matter.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented for discussion at the Study Session
of May 6.

Dear:
DRAFT
. The City of Richfield is requesting that the Metropolitan
Airports Commission approve the attached resolution authorizing a
joint feasibility study for property acquisition, residential
relocation and redevelopment of New Ford Town and Rich Acres.
The report would examine the potential redevelopment of that site
for specific airport (MAC) purposes or airport related purposes
as well as private development.
The City of Richfield is asking MAC to take this action because
it is quite apparent that the environment of New Ford Town and
Rich Acres is not suitable for prolonged residential use. It is
also clear that redevelopment of these areas should occur
regardless of the outcome of the dual track strategy. Even if
40 the legislature authorizes a new airport, it appears extremely

unlikely that the new airport could be constructed in less than
20 years. In the meantime, residents within New Ford Town are
asked to endure not only significant noise impacts, but also an
uncertain future.
This uncertainty is beginning to cause economic and social
disinvestment within these neighborhoods. These residents have
also provided a clear indication of an urgent desire that their
homes be acquired and that they be relocated.
We are asking for Metropolitan Airports Commission to initiate a
process which will determine how the airport and the City of
Richfield can structure a mechanism to permit that these wishes
• be fulfilled.
Preliminary research conducted by the City of Richfield indicates
that there are a variety of viable alternatives to accomplish our
purpose. However, it is clear that MAC needs to become a partner
in the final design of the buyout and redevelopment effort.
We look forward to an opportunity to meet with the Metropolitan
Airports Commission to respond to any questions you might have
regarding this request.
Sincerely,
• Martin J. Kirsch
Mayor
City of Richfield, Minnesota
Study Session Letter No.23
Agenda, May 6, 1991
Issue Statement:
Policy and Strategy Recommendations for Airport Related Issues.
Background:
Recent developments regarding the airport include the following:
s MSP Intergovernmental Planning Group
The MAC developed this airport interactive planning group to help
determine off-site impacts and potential mitigation measures for
each airport development proposal in the long-term comprehensive
plan. Members of this group include elected and city officials
from the communities surrounding MSP, representatives from the
Met Council and MAC.
Mayor Martin Kirsch and Bill Weaver are designated to this group.
Attached are summary notes from two meetings held on April 10 and
April 24, 1991.
s MAC Part 150 Program
The MAC developed a MSP Land Use Policy Advisory Committee to
• meet with MAC staff and consultants to monitor and make
recommendations on the development of the land use implementation
plan. The committee consists of the Chair and Vice Chair from
MASAC, representatives from communities surrounding MSP, the Met
Council and FAA. Bill Weaver was appointed by the City Council
as the city's representative on the committee.
Bill Weaver attended the first committee meeting on April 24.
Attached is a summary of that meeting.
Richfield will establish a core group to review the Part 150
Program implementation process. This group will provide
technical assistance relative to the city's concerns.
s New Airport Legislation
A bill has been introduced by State Rep. Dennis Ozment, IR-
Rosemount, and Rep. Bill Macklin, IR-Lakeville that would require
the Metropolitan Council to conduct a feasibility study on
expanding the current airport before designating a final search
area for a new airport (House File No. 1440). The study would
compare the feasibility and cost of expanding the MSP with
relocating and developing a new airport site. This bill is
amending Minnesota Statutes 1990, sections 473.155, subdivision 3
and 473. 1551, subdivisions 1 and 2 which state the provisions
for the new airport search process. A copy of the bill is
attached.
-0
Local government officials from Dakota County urged Rep. Ozment
to adopt the legislation. On March 26, the Dakota County Board
unanimously passed a resolution to stop the siting of a new
airport. A number of other resolutions have been passed by city
councils and townships in the county opposing the siting of a new
airport in that area.
The bill will be referred to the House Committee on Local
Government and Metropolitan Affairs. A Senate companion bill
still needs to be found.
Recommended Motion:
With this background information, the following recommendations
are provided to address these issues:
® MSP Intergovernmental Planning Group
Staff will continue to participate in this group and keep the
Council informed of the topics covered and the tasks accomplished
at these meetings.
• MAC Part 150 Program
Staff will continue to provide summary updates the Council of the
MSP Land Use Policy Advisory Committee meetings.
• New Airport Legislation
The Council will be updated on future developments of House Bill
is No. 1440 and any Senate companion bill in the Legislature.
Alternative Recommendations:
A variety of alternative recommendations may be discussed at the
May 6, 1991 Study Session.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PLANNING GROUP
April 10 IPG
The IPG meeting of April 10, 1991 focused on three major issues:
1. Discussion of Off-Airport Impacts
2. Review of the six consolidated airport concepts
3. Review of roadway impacts
Discussion of Off Airport Impacts
• The group recommended that the two major categories for analysis , airfield and landside
development impacts be changed to runway/taxiway development and terminal/landside
impacts. In addition the following revisions were made relative to runway/taxiway
development impacts:
1. Air Quality: impact of changes in aircraft operations
2. Light Emissions (Navigational Aids): airfield lighting, radar systems, and landing
aids;
3. Runway - Taxiway Construction: noise due to construction and operational
changes; impacts on wetlands/groundwater and waterbodies;
4. Land Use: add the following categories - histoncal/archeological, recreational
areas, relocation of military facilities, other land acquisition; Runway Protection Zone
(RPZ)) acquisition will also include impacts on utilities;
5. Noise: year 2000 noise impacts will be determined through use of Ldn 60 -65 and
L10 descriptors; assumptions relative to aircraft mix and activity, health effects and
federal properties will also be included.
Revisions to the terminal/landside development list were:
1. Traffic: acquisition impacts, noise impacts, and travel times; direct airport
development impacts and induced development impacts;
2. Land- Use: induced development, federal lands, economic dislocation, community
disruption, and historical/archeological impacts;
Review of Consolidated Airport ConcepIs
The general descriptions of the six airport concepts were reviewed for content . The group also
requested maps showing noise contours overlaid with the six airport concepts. The maps were
requested at V-2000' for noise contours and 1 " - 800' for the concepts.
Dave Warner of BRW reviewed the regional roadway impacts of each of the six alternatives,
copies of the traffic forecasts are attached. The forecasts were prepared for the years 2010
and 2020. Some specific points relative to the traffic analysis are:
1. The forecasts were adjusted to reflect differing services provided by the terminal
facility and the remote parking facility.
2. The remote facility will not be able to handle checked baggage
3. The most significant differences in traffic volumes occur on the highways forming
the borders of the airport,. Those changes are the result of changes in the locations
of the main terminal and remote parking/curbside facilities.
April 24 IPG meeting
The April 24 meeting focused on the following:
1. Proposed work Plan
2. Noise contour re-evaluation
3. Public meetings
4. Economic impacts
Proposed work plan:
Communities were assigned responsibilities for compiling and analyzing the impacts of
Terminal/Landside and Runway/Taxiway development as follows:
1. Terminal/Landside development
a. Traffic impacts on local streets
b. Economic dislocation and community disruption
2. Runway/Taxiway development
a. Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) - tax impacts and community disruption.
b. Noise - landaus compatibility, community disruption, growth patterns and
population movement, tax implications.
Richfield staff will therefore be responsible for compiling and writting draft analysis of each of
the above issues. In order to maintain consistency between communities staff representatives
from each community will meet to agree on a format for analysis.
Because of the difficulty in obtaining 1990 census data and disagregating it to fit the
requirements of the noise analysis it was agreed that the 1980 census data would be linked
with the year 2000 base noise profiles to provide a "0" point for analysis. Consequently, the
impacts of noise contours on population will be measured in terms of the incremental changes
in coverage from 1980 / year 2000 base contours to 1990 population overlaid by each new
noise contour.
_--1
• Each community will be holding public informational meetings to be conducted by MAC and
HNTB staff. The meetings will be similar to previous ones but will include all material
available to date in addition to other materials requested by each community. Meetings are
tentatively planned for late May. It is our intention to hold a special meeting of the City Council
and the Planning Commission prior to the public meeting so that both bodies may review the
information available to date and be fully aware of the issues prior to the public meeting.
Socio Economic impacts
An outline of the socio economic impacts of each concept alternative was presented and is
attached for your information. Clearly Richfield has the bulk of the socio-economic issues.
Runway use diagrams
Runway use diagrams for each of the proposed alternates were presented and are attached
for your information. the diagrams represent the per cent usage of each runway end for each
concept.
PART 150 POLICY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PAC)
The PAC held its first meeting April 24. The purpose of the committee is to serve as an
advisory body to the Metropolitan Airports Commission during development of its Part 150
application and study. The purpose of this group is not to be confused with other airport
related groups whose purpose is to study airport expansion and or relocation options. The
purpose of the PAC is to establish a process for mitigating existing airport noise related
problems and establishing criteria for mitigating such problems. The operating assumption of
the study is that the 1996 Ldn noise contour will be the base for determining funding
assistance under FAR Part 150.
The process is seen to be a multi-year effort involving
- Establishment of a project area with clearly defined boundaries;
- Establishment of local "core teams" within each community;
- Conducting community workshops
- Selecting implementation strategies based on core group and citizen input.
- Selecting a master implementation plan for each city.
Richfield will begin its part of the process by establishing its core group. the core group's role
will be to review the process in light of Richfield's issues and provide technical guidance
relative Richfield's specific concerns. The group will also host the workshops and be the point
of contact for the community. A core group workshop is tentatively scheduled for June 5th at
2:30 PM . During the workshop the MAC staff and consultants will review the requirements of
Part 150, the various mitigation methods, and the results of work completed to date.

RE: Long-Term Comprehensive Plan Traffic Forecasts N
Introduction
The Metropolitan Airports Commission is developing the Long-Term
Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International
Airport (MSP). The LTCP is a thirty-year concept plan which determines
facility needs assuming that MSP continues as the designated air carrier
airport through the Year 2020.
Two terminal location concepts and three airfield concepts are being
considered. Although each combination of terminal and airfield concept
results in a potentially different trip distribution pattern, the
passenger terminal location is the key determinant of trip distribution.
The runway configuration influences the access plan. This analysis
examines the effect of passenger terminal location and runway
configuration on future traffic volumes on the surrounding roadway system.
Airport Terminal Concepts
Under Terminal Concept A, all ticketing and baggage handling facilities
for regional, domestic and international operations would be located in
the area where the existing Lindbergh Terminal is located. A remote
parking/curbside facility would be provided on the west side of the
airport.
•
Under Terminal Concept B, all ticketing and baggage handling facilities
for regional, domestic and international operations would be located near
the northwest corner of the airport site. A remote parking/curbside
facility would be located on the east side of the airport.

Airfield Concepts
Airfield Concept A incorporates a runway parallel to and 1,000 feet north
of Runway 11L-29R.
Airfield Concept B adds a runway which is parallel to and 1,000 feet south
of Runway 11R-29L.
Airfield Concept C includes adding a new NNW/SSE runway along the west
edge of the airport site.
Airport Concepts
Each of the airfield concepts is combined with a terminal concept to
achieve the "airport concepts." The airport concepts are:
Concept 1 - Airfield Concept A and Terminal Concept A
Concept 2 - Airfield Concept A and Terminal Concept B
Concept 3 - Airfield Concept B and Terminal Concept A
Concept 4 - Airfield Concept B and Terminal Concept B
Concept 5 - Airfield Concept C and Terminal Concept A
Concept 6 - Airfield Concept C and Terminal Concept B
Access Plans
An access plan has been developed for each airport concept. Some of the
concepts have the same access alternative:
Concept 1:
o Access to Main Terminal at TH 5
o Access to Remote Parking/Curbside Facility at TH 62 and at
TH 77
Concept 3 and Concept 5:
o Access to Main Terminal at TH 5
o Access to Remote Parking/Curbside Facility at TH 62
Concept 2, Concept 4 and Concept 6:
o Access to Main Terminal at TH 62 and at TH 77
o Access to Remote Parking/Curbside Facility at TH 5
2010 Traffic Forecasts
The forecasts for each of the access plans were prepared using a
computerized travel model. The forecasts from the model were adjusted to
reflect the fact that the..terminal facility and the remote
Nigel Finney
• March 8, 1991
Page 3
parking/curbside facility provide different services. The assumption made
in this analysis is that passengers will not be able to check or claim
baggage at the remote facility. It is further assumed that passengers
with bags to check or claim will begin or end their airport trip at the
terminal.
The Year 2010 traffic volume forecasts for the access plans of Concept 1,
Concepts 3 & 5, and Concepts 2 & 4 & 6 are illustrated in Figure 1, Figure
2, and Figure 3, respectively.
2020 Traffic Forecasts
The airport traffic volumes and general traffic volumes in 2020 were
calculated by applying a growth factor to the 2010 traffic volumes. The
growth factor used for the airport traffic volumes was 1.137 and was
calculated from the forecasted increases in originations and terminations
at MSP from 2010 to 2020. The growth factor applied to the general
traffic volumes was 1.2, which is a calculated average from the growths of
traffic along each link in the study area from 1988 to 2010
Traffic volume forecasts for the year 2020 for the access plans of Concept
• 1, Concepts 3 & 5, and Concepts 2 & 4 & 6 are illustrated in Figure 4,
Figure 5, and Figure 6, respectively.
Analysis
The traffic volumes entering the roadway system around the airport are
similar in each of the future access alternatives. The differences in the
traffic volumes are most significant on the major highways along the
airport boundaries. These differences are a result of changes in the
location of the main terminal facilities and the remote parking/curbside
facilities.
Comparison of Concepts 1, 3 and 5 to Concepts 2, 4 and 6
A comparison of Concepts 1, 3 and 5 (east terminal) to Concepts 2, 4 and
6 (northwest terminal) shows that when the main terminal facility is
located near the northwest corner of the airport site:
o Traffic volumes on TH 5 bordering the airport are lower.
o Traffic volumes on TH 77 bordering the airport are higher.
o Airport trips.shift fromientering/exiting the study area from
I-494 to entering/exiting the study area from TH 62.

Comparison of Concept 1 to Concepts 3 and 5
A comparison of Concept 1 (remote parking/curbside facility access to
TH 62 and TH 77) to Concepts 3 and 5 (remote parking/curbside facility
access to TH 62) shows that when only one point of access is provided:
o Traffic volumes on TH 5 bordering the airport south of the
airport access are higher.
o Airport trips on TH 77 are lower.
o Airport trips on I-494 are higher.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 22
Agenda May 6, 1991
Issue Statement:
Status of South Hennepin Human Service Council reorganization.
Background:
The cities •of Richfield, Bloomington, Eden Prairie and Edina
participate in a joint powers agreement human service planning
program. The program, South Hennepin Human Service Council
(SHHSC), was founded in 1970 and provides for human service
planning on a regional basis. Initially the SHHSC was
established in order to provide regional planning data to
Hennepin County for coordination and operation of decentralized
human services delivery systems. The effort was funded by
Hennepin County. The current structure of the SHHSC provides
that each community shall appoint four members to the Council.
The SHHSC administers a staff and the staff provides planning
based on community input provided by the Council.
In the past year, three communities, Edina, Eden Prairie and
Bloomington, have indicated a dissatisfaction with the structure
of the SHHSC. Their concerns appear to include the following:
e The day-to-day administration of SHHSC staff is burdensome for
the appointed representatives.
e The SHHSC planning staff should be supervised by professional
staffs within the cities.
® The planning effort should be locally directed with greater
emphasis on local issues. Regional planning would continue,
however, on a more selected basis.
It is clear that there are philosophical differences among the
cities regarding some of these issues. Richfield has indicated
support for the current structure. Edina appears to be somewhere
in the middle of the two positions. A series of planning
meetings have produced a compromise structure. The recommended
structure basically provides for the following:
s Planning staff would work under the direction of staff from
the four cities.
• The formal structure of the SHHSC would be essentially
disbanded and replaced with an advisory council.
s The advisory council would be comprised of four
representatives appointed by the cities. One of the four
representatives would be a staff liaison. The Council's
primary function would be limited to establishing annual
• planning goals and planning priorities, serving as a sounding
board to the planning staff and identifying potential regional
cooperative planning initiatives.
• Each community shall establish a broadly based local advisory
board for the purpose of determining local planning needs and
goals. This group is primarily responsive to the City
Council.
The model anticipates the potential withdrawal of County funding
for planning efforts for budget reasons. The new model would
provide the capability for Richfield and Edina to share a planner
if Hennepin County monies are withdrawn. Eden Prairie and
Bloomington currently maintain that they have an individual with
human service planning capabilities and responsibilities on
staff.
The net cost to the City of Richfield is not expected to increase
as a result of the new model. Under the scenario that Hennepin
County funds are eliminated some additional cost may be indicated
depending upon staffing levels. The total cost to the City for
the past three years for the SHHSC is as follows:
1988 $ 6,240
1989 $10,700
1990 $15,500
• A copy of the proposed model is attached.
Recommended Motion:
Review the proposed model.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The model is a compromise which would permit continued
cooperative effort, albeit in a different form than
previously existed.
2. The City of Richfield has played an extensive role in
attempting to formulate a compromise solution which allow a
continued cooperative effort.
3. It is important that a cooperative effort be maintained in
order to continue to take advantage of not for profit
volunteer and quasi-governmental human service providers that
serve communities on a regional basis.
4. The new structure may enhance human service planning
capabilities.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may decide to defer this item for discussion to
• a later date, however the model will require formal Council
action at a future date.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented for discussion at the
administrative meeting of May 6. Representatives to the SHHSC
are invited to attend that meeting. No final action is required.
The purpose of discussion is to make certain that the City
Council concurs with the direction of the new structure. It is
likely that a new joint power agreement will require City Council
action at a later date.

ANNUAL PLANNING PROCESS
The two primary functions of the planning office are research and the coordination of
resources to address identified needs and issues. The coordination of resources refers to the
ability to bring together existing resources (i.e. providers, schools, cities, citizens) and
mobilizing new resources to engage in problem solving or to fill an identified service gap.
The Regional Planning Office will conduct research, coordinate resources and facilitate the
problem solving process for those issues defined as priorities by the Regional Citizen Advisory
Board. Deciding priority issues, developing the work plan and allocating planning time will be
performed on an annual basis.
DEVELOPING THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN:
A. Defining Human Service Need and Issues
1) At the municipal level, the Local Advisory Groups and the designated human service
liaison define human service issues. The Regional Planning Office provides
research to assist the cities in this process.
2) Each city completes its own planning process, identifies local planning needs and
identifies planning projects based on these needs.
3) The Regional Office Planning Staff, with the assistance of the Human Service Liaison,
prepares a summary report of identified issues, trends and priorities for review by the
Regional Citizen Advisory Board.
4) The Regional Citizen Advisory Board reviews the report and makes recommendations
for the annual work plan.
B. Developing Planning Activities and Budget
i) The Regional Citizen Advisory Board and the planning staff design a citizen
participation process for the budget year.
2) The planning staff, in conjunction with the Human Service Liaison Committee,
draft the annual work plan and budget.
3) The Regional Citizen Advisory Board reviews and approves the work plan and budget.
4) The recommended work plan and budget are submitted to the City Councils for
approval.
