regarding a request by John Westrick, the attorney for Steve
Quam, for a bill for legal services related to-the council
vacancy issue in the amount of $4829.75.

` felt the action was a self serving effort by Mr. Quam and Mrs.
Garcia to control the appointment process and also that the cost
was too high.
Ernest Lindstrom, 7406 Fremont Avenue reviewed the City
Charter provisions regarding council vacancies and the council
actions taken regarding the vacancy. He said it was his opinion
that the writ of mandamus was a political action evidenced by the
fact and that Gordon Anderson sought private donations for the
costs. Mr. Lindstrom stated the City should not pay the bill.
Council Member Sandahl stated the City Council should make a
decision based on two issues: 1) the precedent set,
(2) reasonable stewardship - further litigation will cost much
more. He stated the City Council should have a policy about
intracouncil litigation and disputes. Council Member Sandahl
said that council members should feel there is a reasonable
chance of some possibility of payment for .legal costs. If not,
there is no opportunity for challenge.

anything.

for the record the factual basis for the determination by council
as a group because Mr. Westrick had indicated future litigation

the impact of the neighborhood from teenagers who would

wholesome family fun but that the facility would be too busy and
open too late to~operate in this residential area.

staff recommendation to deny this proposal. He stated that he
supported the plans for the area in the. Comprehensive Plan and
the City should continue to follow those.

suggested for Legion Lake.
Council Member Bullock asked Public Safety Director Erskine
if there had been any problems at the teen center.
Public Safety Director Erskine stated that there had been
very few problems and that the center is well staffed.
Council Member Sandahl asked what could be required of the
operator if problems did occur.
.Public Safety Director Erskine indicated licensing of this
type of operation could provide more control if it is needed.
Council Member Sandahl stated teenagers are not all bad and
that other permitted uses may be worse for the neighborhood.

conditions upon the approval to address potential problems and
suggested possible language to use in the motion.

Long Lake Ford 36,914 .(8,400) 28,514
The equipment bid by L-Z Company, Inc. did not meet
specifications. In particular, the loader proposed did not have
an eight-speed transmission which is a major requirement for this
piece of equipment.
The second .low bidder, Carlson Tractor and Equipment Company, met
all specifications as written.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the bid minutes/tabulation and authorize a purchase order
to Carlson Tractor and Equipment Company in the amount of 528,439
for the purchase of a tractor-loader for Rich Acres Golf Course.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Carlson Tractor and. Equipment Company met all specifications
and submitted the low bid for the equipment needed.
2. There is sufficient funding in the approved 1991 Central
Garage budget for this purchase.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council could choose to reject all of the bids and instruct
staff to obtain new bids; however, staff does not believe we
can obtain a better price for the type of equipment needed.
2. Council could choose to authorize purchase of the equipment
from another bidder. However, as noted above, not all bids
submitted met specifications.
3. Council could choose not to purchase new equipment at this
time. However, the existing equipment is fully depreciated
and in need of replacement.
5A-~
Discussion/Decision Mode:
-~ In order to facilitate timely delivery of this equipment, staff
is asking for approval at the February 25, 1991 City Council
meeting.

authorizing the purchase of 7645 Oakland Avenue South and the
submittal of a Right-of-Way Acquisition Loan Fund (RALF)
application; 77th Street Project.
Background•
On 0ctober•8, 1990, the City Council approved the submittal of a
preliminary RALF application to the Metropolitan Council. The
RALF would provide a no interest loan to the City for the
purchase of 7645 Oakland Avenue South. The loan would be repaid
when financing for the 77th Street project is provided.
RALF is designed to provide funds to cities to purchase homes
when it can be determined that continued ownership would be a
hardship for the current owner. Recently, the Metropolitan
Council and its Systems Committee gave preliminary approval for
the use of RALF to purchase this property.
As part of the final application process, the regulations
required MNDOT to review the appraisal report. MNDOT has
reviewed the appraisal. report and has authorized purchase at
$93,000.
It is anticipated that no relocation benefits will be paid.
The RALF loan may include all costs related to the purchase. In
addition to acquisition and relocation expenses, appraisal.
reports and staff time may be included. The total amount of the
loan for this property may approximate $100,000.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which authorizes the following:
1. Sets just compensation and authorizes staff to negotiate
and. purchase the property at the value indicated.
2. Directs the City Manager and Mayor to execute a purchase
agreement in the amount of just compensation.
3. The preparation and submittal of a final loan application to
the Metropolitan Council for the use of RALF.
4. Execution of loan related documents by the City Manager and
Mayor.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City Council previously approved submittal of a

--1-1
2. The sale would relieve a hardship which qualifies under
the RALF program.
3. The Metropolitan Council has approved the preliminary
application for RALF.
4. MNDOT has authorized purchase at the amount indicated in
the resolution.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Not authorize :purchase and submittal of the loan application.
2. Authorize purchase at a different price.
Discussion/Decision Mode:

It is desirable to continue in a timely manner. to help assure a
closing by May, 1991.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
~ Council Letter No. 59
Agenda February 25,.1991
Issue Statement:
Consideration of resolutions related to Wood Lake Nature Center:
1) Establishing the Friends of Wood .Lake and 2) Establishing the
Friends of Wood Lake Endowment Fund and the Friends of Wood Lake
Operating Fund, and provision for the safe keeping and use of
such funds.
Background:
Richfield's Wood Lake Nature Center will be celebrating its 20th
Anniversary this year. To observe the anniversary, a family day
of celebration, including a short formalized program, is being
planned for Sunday, May 5, 1991.
While planning for the Nature Center's 20th anniversary,
discussion by the citizens on the various committees included the
possibility of establishing a fund raising effort for Wood Lake
that would go beyond the anniversary celebration. As discussed
at the February 4 Council Study Session, the concept of creating
an organization called "Friends of Wood Lake" would permit a
group. of people, hoping to broaden the funding base of Wood Lake
Nature Center, to seek dedicated donations from that wider
community that is involved with the Center. The goal would be to
establish a source of funds to assist the Nature Center in
continuing to provide excellent programs and services.
The Community Services Advisory Commission discussed the "Friends
of Wood Lake" concept at the February 12 meeting. It was the
unanimous action of the Commission to recommend the following to
the City Council:
1. That an independent, separate group, tentatively called
"Friends of Wood Lake" be created.
2. That this group report to and be advisory to the Richfield
Community Services Advisory Commission.
3. That the group have a Board of Directors with Board voting
membership consisting of:
One member from the Richfield City Council.
Two members from the Community Services Commission.
An even number, up to 10, of members serving at-large.
4. That the Board of Directors be selected by the Community
Services Commission with the exception of the City Council
member which shall be selected by the City Council from its
membership.
5. That Board of Director members serve staggered terms of
three years; the initial Board be appointed for one, two or
three year terms.
~-i
6. That the intent of the group is to raise operating and
endowment funds for Wood Lake Nature Center for purposes
over and/or above the City budget(s).
7. That the budgeting for improvements should be based on funds
available rather than funds anticipated.
8. That funds raised by this group for Wood Lake Nature Center
shall be designated by .ordinance or resolution, whichever
is appropriate.
9. That the Community Services Commission recognizes the
current efforts of many people working toward the goal of
this proposed group and will make every effort to appoint
an initial Board of Directors from this existing group of
people.
Staff has since worked with the City attorneys to create the
resolutions appropriate to the wishes of the anniversary planning
committee and the Community Services Commission. Two resolutions
are attached for Council review and consideration. The first
creates the "Friends of Wood Lake". The second focuses on the
financial relationship between the new organization and the City.
Should the Council approve the two resolutions, the "Friends of
Wood Lake" kick-off would be held May 4 and coordinate with the
20th Anniversary Celebration of Wood Lake Nature Center.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt 1) the resolution establishing the Friends of Wood Lake and
2) the resolution establishing the Friends of Wood Lake Endowment
Fund and the Friends of Wood Lake Operating Fund, and providing
for the safekeeping and use of such funds.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Wood-Lake Nature Center has long had broad public
participation and support. With the exception of some
grants, donations and class/program fees, the financial
support from other than the City's general fund has been
limited.
2. It appears the City's ability to support Wood Lake Nature
Center through. the general fund will continue; however,
additional funding support through the Friends of Wood Lake
could enhance the program and services of the Nature Center.
3. The Friends of Wood Lake would serve in an advisory capacity
to the City Council, through the Community Services
Commission. The City Council retains absolute and sole
discretion related to Wood Lake as outlined in City policy
and the resolutions.
~-z
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Reject the concept for seeking additional financial support
for Wood Lake Nature Center. Do not establish the "Friends
of Wood Lake".
2. Amend the proposed resolution(s), pending legal counsel, as
deemed necessary.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the February 25, 1991 Council meeting.
Although not absolutely necessary that action be taken at this
time, affirmative action now would permit more time to prepare
for the May 4 "kick-off" of the Friends of Wood Lake.

/'" A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
THE FRIENDS OF WOOD LAKE ENDOWMENT FUND AND
THE FRIENDS OF WOOD LAKE OPERATING FUND AND
PROVIDING FOR THE SAFE KEEPING AND USE OF SUCH FUNDS
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. adopted on February 25, 1991,
the City Council of the City of Richfield established the Friends
of Wood Lake, an advisory and resource organization created for the
purpose of providing aid and assistance to the Wood Lake Nature
Center; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that one of the principal
activities of the Friends of Wood Lake organization should be to
raise funds by voluntary contributions from the public for the use,
protection, preservation, and enhancement of the Wood Lake Nature
Center; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that it is appropriate to
provide procedures for securing input from interested citizens
prior to expending such funds; and
WHEREAS, the. Council wishes to provide a means of segregating
such contributions from the general funds of the City by creation
of two special funds as hereinafter provided; and
_ WHEREAS, the Council has determined that one of such funds
should be a general operating fund and that the other such fund
should be an endowment trust fund, the principal of which may not
be expended by the Council as long as such fund is in existence,
but which shall be held in trust and invested for the purpose of
generating investment income for use at or in aid of the Wood Lake
Nature Center;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Richfield, Minnesota, that:
1. The Friends of Wood Lake Operating Fund (hereinafter referred
to as the "Operating Fund") is hereby established. Such Fund shall
be accounted for as separate revenue and expenditure accounts
within the City's computerized general ledger in the City's Special
Revenue Fund.
2. The Friends of Wood Lake Endowment Fund (hereinafter referred
to as the "Endowment Fund") is hereby established. Such Fund shall
be maintained as a non-expendable trust fund within the City's
Trust and Agency Fund. The Endowment Fund shall be maintained as
an invested fund. Interest earned on investments shall be credited
to the Operating Fund, but the principal shall not be expended as
long as the Endowment Fund is in existence. If at any time the
City Council determines that maintenance of the Endowment Fund is
no longer appropriate, it may dispose of the remaining monies in
the Fund either by making capital expenditures at the Wood Lake
Nature Center or, if in the judgement of the City Council such
action more accurately reflects the intent and purpose of creating
the Endowment Fund, such funds may be released to any nonprofit,
charitable or governmental organization for similar educational and
"~o
environmental purposes at the direction of any judge of district
court.
3. One hundred. percent of all contributions to the Friends of
Wood Lake Endowment Fund shall be deposited in the Endowment Fund.

Nature Center shall be deposited in the Endowment Fund. Unless

4. The City Council shall not make any expenditures from the
Operating Fund except for the benefit of .Wood Lake Nature Center
and programs at the Center, and for costs and expenses of the
Friends of Wood Lake and programs of the .Friends of Wood Lake. It
is intended that expenditures from the Operating Fund will be for
programs, projects and improvements at the Nature Center which
would not otherwise be funded by ad valorem taxes or revenues from
programs at the Nature Center; however, the City Council may make
expenditures for any lawful purpose relating to the Nature Center
which, in the judgement of the Council, serves the public interest.
5. No expenditures from the Operating Fund shall be made without
first securing the comment on such proposed expenditure from the
Board of Directors of the Friends of Wood Lake. The Friends of
Wood Lake shall have 60 days from the date of submission of
proposed expenditures by the City Council to comment on such
expenditures. Comment on such expenditures shall be deemed to be
favorable if 60 days have elapsed without comment. Expenditures
for costs and expenses of the Friends of Wood Lake or programs of
the Friends of Wood Lake and expenditures for programs, projects or
improvements recommended by the Friends of Wood Lake need not be
submitted for comment. The City Council shall have the authority
to make such expenditures in its absolute and sole discretion
notwithstanding any comments thereon from the Friends of Wood Lake.
6. This resolution shall serve as acceptance within the meaning
of Minnesota Statutes Section 465.03 of all donations which are
made, without restriction, to any Friends of Wood Lake Fund; or are
made to the City, without restriction other than that they shall be
used for the Wood Lake Nature Center; or are made to the Endowment

those established herein for the Endowment Fund.

Council Letter No. 47
Agenda February 11, 1991.
Zssue Statement•
Request for a conditional use permit and off-street parking
permit at 7200 Cedar Avenue.
Bachround
Putter's Paradise Inc. is requesting a conditional use permit and
off-street parking permit to allow an indoor miniature golf
facility with video machines and concessions in the C-2 district.
The proposed 54 foot by 77 foot concrete block building would be
located on the southwest corner of the vacant site.
Recommended Motion:
Deny the conditional use permit and off-street parking permit for
an indoor miniature golf facility with video machines and
concessions at 7200 Cedar Avenue.
Basis of Recommendation: •
1. The proposed use is inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. The T.H. 77/New Ford Town district, which includes
this site, was recently redesignated. The redesignation
identifies three mixed land use types as acceptable for the
district. Putter's Paradise lies within the area identified
for Mixed Land Use "A", a land use limited to wholesale,
light industry, offices and some retail component tied to
office use. Putter's Paradise does not fall within one of
these use types.
2. Potential for increased negative impacts on adjacent
residential property. Uses identified as appropriate in
the redesignation were selected based on their low
potential for interference with the adjoining
neighborhood. Traffic and noise associated with such
uses would not normally extend beyond working hours. The
proposed hours of operation for Putter's Paradise extend
well beyond working hours and into the late evening and
early morning on Friday and Saturday. The neighborhood
adjoining Putter's Paradise would likely experience an
increase in traffic and associated noise as a result
of activities associated with Putter's Paradise's
operation.
3. The proposed use is conditionally compatible with the
Metropolitan Council's Noise Compatibility Program. Putter's
Paradise is located in Noise Zone II, a zone which
conditionally allows indoor entertainment such as Putter's
Paradise. Uses considered to be consistent within this zone
are industrial, communications, utility and agriculture and
resource related uses..
~~~
~~ 4. If the usage of Putter's Paradise reaches the levels
anticipated by the owner, parking needs may exceed the spaces
available.
5. The Planning Commission deadlocked, 3-3, on a motion for
approval. The Commission subsequently voted in favor of
forwarding the application to the City Council with no
recommendation.
Alternative Recommendation:
Approve the conditional use permit and off-street parking permit.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. Monday, February 11,
1991. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers at
Richfield City Hall. Notice of the hearing was published in the
Sun-Current and mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the
property.

` City of Richfield
6700 Portland Ave.
Richfield, MN. 55423
RE; Putter's Paradise, Inc.
Conditional Use Permit
?200 Cedar Ave. So.
Gentlemen:
I am the owner of a Twenty-Two (22) unit apartment building at
?134 Cedar Ave. So. with Sixteen (16) garages and additional
parking for Twenty (20) automobiles, which is just North of the
proposed ~iinature Golf Recreation Center.
I attended a meeting of the Planning Commission on January 22,
1991 on above subjeet to voice my objection of proposal for a
Conditional Use Permit.
Evidently, the Planning Commission could not decide if this was
a suitable use for the property at ?200 Cedar Ave. So. as the vote
was three (3) to three (3), even though Richfield City Planner
did not think this was a good use for this piece if property.
It is hard for me to believe that this would be an acceptable use
for this property considering not only the hours of operation,
but the impact of having only one (1) facility in a basically
resgdential area. This kind of facility belongs in a Mall, or
similar development. Only one reason for people to be travelling
to ?200 Cedar Ave. So. would be to go to the Minature Golf
Recreation Center, there is nothing else to attract traffic to
this area.
Sincerely,
Dolores L. Weidert

Re:7200 Cedar Avenue South
Conditional Use Permit
January 31, 1991
Dear City Council:
I am an absentee owner of 7201 and 7203 18th Avenue South,
the property directly to the West of the subject property.
When first notified of the public heari*!g befn.re the• Planning
Commission, I went to find out what it was that was being
proposed,. and was disappointed on the "No Recommendation"
vote the Planning Commission voted for. After the
presentation I realized that the real issue was the change
allowing an "Entertainment" type use rather than the planned
office C-2 type zoning that the City approved years ago. Was
that zoning something to be taken lightly? I see it not just
a matter of an indoor putt-putt type business, it is the
opening of something much greater that would have the
potential of being a real teenage hang-out.
What happens to the zoning and the property if this business
operation fails or is transferred to someone else who has a
hidden motive to use the property for an allowed use under
the "Entertainment" use permit?
It is not the concern what goes on inside the building as
much as what happens in the parking lot. Concerned as to the
traffic, noise, and bottles, and other things thrown around
the neighborhood. What extra load will be placed on the
Public Safety Department in order to keep the neighborhood
quiet, safe, and protection of the neighbors property?
I am wanting to attend the hearing of Feb 11, 1991; but in
the event I am unable to do so, I want to express my
concerns. I urge your denial of this request.
Sincerely,
Cl/D~~~
