Council Letter No. 42
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement:
Approval of the 1991 labor contract with the Richfield Police
Supervisors unit.
Background•
The City staff has completed negotiations on a labor agreement
for the year 19.91 with the Richfield .Police Supervisors unit,
subject to Council approval. The bargaining unit is represented
by Law Enforcement Labor Services, a state-wide Police labor
union.
The Richfield Police Supervisors unit represents the positions of
Police Captain, Lieutenant and Sergeant. There are presently
nine employees represented within the unit.
The significant changes which have been negotiated for the year
1991 are as follows:
- An adjustment of 4$ over 1990 wage rates for all
classifications.
- A $30.00 monthly increase in the City's contribution for
dependent health insurance for a maximum of $240.00/month.
This maximum contribution is identical to other City
employee groups for 1991.
- A $2.00 monthly increase in the City's contribution for
single dental insurance for a maximum of $18.00/month.
This maximum contribution is also identical to other City
employee groups for 1991.

the annual clothing allowance to $415.00.
- Provision of a health fitness program allowing employees to
fulfill work schedule payback obligations (if applicable)
by approved health fitness participation and further allows
the conversion of 18 hours of Sick Leave annually to
.Holiday Leave for successful participation. This is
identical to the program granted to Police
Officers/Investigator Agents several years ago.
- The addition of two named holidays to the list of holidays
for which Sergeants are compensated on a time and one-half
rate basis if required to work the holiday. This also is
identical to the benefit already provided to Police
Officers/Investigator Agents.
- Implementation of a mandatory Drug Testing Policy.
~~-i
Recommended Motion:
Approve the resolution approving a labor agreement with the
Richfield Police Supervisors unit for the year 1991.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Police Supervisors' wage settlement maintains
Richfield's ranking with other comparable communities.
2. Wage and benefit settlements are comparable to other City
of Richfield employee groups.
3. The package contains the City's first mandatory Drug
Testing Program which is desirable for the City.
4. Union members have voted on the issues and have given their
approval.
Alternative Recommendation:

negotiations and/or arbitration.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
In order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify
payroll records and enact the new pay rates retroactive to
January 1, 1991. as soon as possible, it is recommended that the
City Council act on February 11, 1991 to adopt the attached
resolution .providing for contract changes, effective January 1,

The Hennepin County Board recently adopted Resolution 90-8-592R1,
which requires municipalities to adopt ordinances directing property
owners of multifamily buildings to provide recycling services by July

project is anticipated to operate between 60 and 90 days and will

implement and evaluate the program.
The three dwellings for the test project are currently in the process
of being identified by BFI.

project in three multi-unit apartment dwellings in Richfield.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Multi-unit apartment dwelling property owners will be required to
provide recycling services to their tenants by July 1, 1991.
2. The test project will help to promote recycling in apartment
dwellings.

to encouraging and facilitating recycling programs in multi-unit
apartment buildings.

Council Letter No. 45
Agenda, February ll, 1991
Issue Statement•
Consideration of a resolution establishing a limit on number of
terms for Advisory Boards and Commission Members and limiting the
number of Commissions on which individuals may serve.
Background•
From time to time the City Council clarifies their policy regarding
appointments to Advisory Boards and Commissions. The Council
currently has a policy limiting. the number of consecutive terms
individuals may serve on specific Boards and Commissions. Recent
discussions involving appointments to Boards and Commissions
indicate a need to clarify three additional policies. Those
policies include:
• The number of Commissions on which individuals may serve.
• Reaffirming the three consecutive term policy.
• Establishing a policy regarding Charter Commission Members who
wish to serve on other Boards and Commissions.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the resolution establishing the number of terms for members
of Advisory Boards and Commissions and establishing a policy
regarding membership of an individual on multiple Advisory Boards
and Commissions.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. Council desires to provide broad participation in community
activities.
2. Recognition that the Charter Commission serves in a distinct and
separate capacity than other City Advisory Boards and
Commissions .
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not approve this resolution.
2. Establish additional policies regarding service on Boards and
Commissions .
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented in the Consent portion of the February
11, 1991 City Council Agenda as directed by Mayor Kirsch.

RESOLUTION N0.
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE NUMBER OF
TERMS FOR MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council has established from time to time
Boards and Commissions to serve in an advisory capacity to the
City Council;. and
WHEREAS, annually there are usually more volunteers to serve
on Advisory .Boards and Commissions than there are openings to
fill; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City Council to seek and
involve citizens as a way of adding citizen input in the policy
process; and
WHEREAS, Advisory Boards and Commissions are established
with a portion of the membership. terms to expire each year to
afford an opportunity for citizens who have not previously served
or may have some break in the continuity of service to be
considered for appointment; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to have some change in the
membership from time to time to encourage volunteerism /and to
facilitate broad community representation including geographic
considerations, ethnic minorities, women, youth, and
professional, business and technical people; and
WHEREAS, Charter Commission members are not appointed by the
City Council and generally this Commission's responsibilities are
distinct from other City Advisory Boards and Commissions; and
WHEREAS, service by the same individual on two Advisory
Boards and Commissions, not including the Charter Commission,
does not provide and encourage broad community representation and
may also provide some conflicts.
NOW, .THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of Richfield as follows:
1. That this Resolution supersedes Resolution No. 7548.
2. That it shall be the policy of the City Council except
as otherwise provided by State Statutes and City Ordinances to
limit the term of any Advisory Board or Commission Member to
three consecutive terms on the same Advisory Board or Commission
unless there are fewer applicants than positions open. For the
purposes of this resolution, appointment to serve on a Board or
Commission for a period of time greater than one-half of a
complete term shall be counted as a full term. If the City
Council appoints a citizen who has had a break in continuous
service on the same Advisory Board or Commission, it shall be
treated as a first term appointment.
(~ ~ .Z
3. It is the intention of the City Council that the same
individual should not serve on more than one Advisory Board or
Commission, with the exception that Members of the Charter
Commission may serve on one other Advisory Board or Commission.

Council Letter No. 46
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement•
Consideration of a request to pay legal fees related to council
vacancy dispute. (Continued from January 28 City Council
meeting.)
Background•
John Westrick, the attorney for Steve Quam, has submitted a legal
bill to the City in the amount of $4829.75. The bill is for
legal services rendered in connection with the litigation
initiated by Steve Quam against Council Members Kirsch, Ludeman
and Sandahl.
Recommended Motion:
The Council should make a determination whether the bill will be
paid.
Basis for Recommendation:
The City Attorney has advised that the bill can be legally paid
by the City. However, .the Council may also decide not to pay the
bill. It is important to distinguish payment of this bill from
other legal bills related to the defense of the suit initiated by
Steve Quam. The City Attorney has advised that costs pertaining
Council Members' defense of the action are obligations of the
City. However the obligation to pay the Quam bill is not as
clear. Final determination of payment of this bill should be
made by the City Council.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented for continued discussion at the
Council meeting of February 11, 1991.

Council Letter No. 47
Agenda February ll, 1991
Issue Statement:
Request for a conditional use permit and off-street parking
permit at 7200 Cedar Avenue.
Back~c round
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.
~-i
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.

Richfield, MN. 55423
RE: Putter's Paradise, Inc.
Conditional Use Permit
7200 Cedar Ave. So.
Gentlemen:
I am the owner of a Twenty-Two (22) unit apartment building at
7134 Cedar Ave. So. with Sixteen (16) garages and additional
parking for Twenty (20) automobiles., which is just North of the
proposed Minature 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 7200 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
residential 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 hearing before the.- Plahni:ng
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.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 48
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement•
Request for an amendment to the off-street parking. permit for
Metro Sales Inc., 1620 East 78th Street.
Background•
Applicant Metro Sales Inc. has requested an amendment to their
off-street parking permit to allow the construction of a two
level building addition, approximately 26 feet by 87 feet (5,427
square feet). This addition requires 22 parking spaces,
increasing the total required on site parking spaces to 72
spaces. The proposed site plan shows 69 parking spaces.
The new addition would be attached to the existing structure,
similar in appearance and height, and located between the present
front entry and 78th Street. The project would include a re-
striping and expansion of existing parking, additional landscape
work (pending final design of 77th Street), additional site
lighting and modification of the existing irrigation system to
accommodate site changes.
On January 15, 1991, the applicant was granted a variance to
allow a front yard setback of ten feet in the C-2 zoning district
where the minimum required front yard setback is 40 feet.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the request for an amendment to the off-street parking
permit for Metro Sales Inc. subject to the Administrative Review
Committee requirements (see attached).
Basis of .Recommendation:
1. A variance was granted to allow a front .yard setback of ten
feet.
2. If built as proposed, the addition would permit better
circulation of the building space and provide an organized
parking area.
3. Commercial property is adjacent to this property and would
not be adversely affected by the proposed addition.
4. When the need arises, Metro Sales Inc. should make
provisions for three additional parking spaces, preferably
through a shared parking agreement with a neighboring
business.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may deny the amendment request to the off-street
parking permit based on sufficient evidence that the request
would have a negative impact on the adjacent properties.
~~
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Consideration of this item is scheduled for the Monday, February
11, 1991 City Council meeting.

Council Letter No. 49
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement:
Request for a conditional use permit and off-street parking
permit at 7608 Knox Avenue.
Background•
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit and off-
street parking permit to allow a public garage in the C-2
district. The public garage would contain an automobile tune-up
and brake repair shop. According to the applicant, the shop will
not be a fast turnover "service while you wait"-type of business.
The existing 33 foot by 58 foot building has three service bays
and an office area. The rear parking lot is accessible only by
passing through the south service bay where there are overhead
doors on each end.
The applicant proposes to utilize the property in the existing
configuration, with no physical changes to the exterior of the
building or the existing curb. cut.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the conditional use permit and off-street parking permit
per the attached site plan, for an automobile tune-up and brake
repair shop at 7608 Knox Avenue with the fallowing stipulations:
1. The applicant provide a cash escrow to cover parking lot
restriping, required signage, and fence repair in the rear
parking lot.
2. All building and fire code orders be completed within 90
days.
3. The overhead doors be in the down position while automobiles
are serviced.
4. A drainage agreement be reached with the property owner to
the south. The agreement should include (1) the granting of
an easement by the property owner to the south, and (2) an
agreement by both property owners relative to the costs of
correcting any drainage problems created if and when the
south property is developed.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. On January 22, 1991 the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval.
2. Ten parking spaces are provided per the parking requirement.
3. The City Manager has authorized the 22 foot wide curb cut.
to-I
4. Overhead doors in the down position while automobiles are
serviced will reduce the impact on neighboring residential
properties.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny the conditional use permit and off-street parking permit if
a finding of fact determines that the proposal would have an
adverse impact on surrounding properties.
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, 6700 Portland Avenue South. Notice of
hearing was published in the Sun-Current and mailed to property
owners within 350 feet of the property.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 50
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement:
Public Hearing and Second Reading of transitory ordinance
providing funding for certain capital improvements from the
Special Revenue Fund.
Background•
On January•14, 1991, the City Council

approved appropriations
defined as outlined below:
$230,000
14,000
34,000
22,000
$300,000
The adoption of a transitory ordinance is now necessary to
finalize these appropriations pursuant to City Charter. Charter
Section 7.12, Subdivision 2 allows expenditures for capital
improvements from the Special Revenue Fund only by ordinance.
Recommended Motion:
Hold the public hearing and approve the attached transitory
ordinance providing for the expenditure of funds from the Special
Revenue Fund for certain capital improvements.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. On January 14, 1991, the City Council adopted the 1991
Capital Improvement Budget.
2. On January 14, 1991, the City Council held first reading and
scheduled. the. second reading and public hearing for February
11, 1991.
3. Under Section 3.09 of the City Charter, a transitory
ordinance becomes effective 30 days after publication of the
second hearing notice. The hearing process must be completed
in 1991 so the Capital Projects can be completed as approved
and the funds expended.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could allocate the funds to a totally new
project or projects, but a public hearing for a budget
revision would be necessary.
2. The City Council could decide not to authorize the
expenditure of Special Revenue Funds.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action on this item is requested at the February 11 meeting of
the City Council. This would allow the ordinance to become
effective in a timely manner so that the capital improvements can
be ordered as budgeted.

City of Richfield, Minnesota
Council Letter No. 51
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement:
Provide authorization to the City Building Official to waive
ceiling height code provisions which allow the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to complete rehabilitation loan
activities.
Background•
HRA's Deferred Loan Program provides funds to eligible. homeowners
to make improvements to their homes. A primary focus of the
program is to address health and safety problems.
A homeowner on the 7300 block of Upton Avenue is participating in
this program. Among the improvements specified for the property
is the resolution of a severe overcrowding problem. Currently, a
six member family is living in a two bedroom home. Four children
consequently sleep in an unfinished basement.
Sufficient loan funds are available to create a safe and healthy
environment in the basement. However, one element that cannot be
corrected is the ceiling height. It is below the minimum seven
foot requirement.
Minnesota Statute 469.041, allows the City Council to waive
Building Code requirements that assist in implementing HRA
housing programs. In this circumstance, a specific waiver to
ceiling height code provisions of the Building Code is sought.
The exact address and name of the homeowner are not provided in
accordance with the Minnesota Data Practices Act.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the Building Official to waive provisions of .the
Building Code as it relates to ceiling height at the subject
property.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The Building Official has found that a waiver to the ceiling
height requirement at the subject property will not pose a
health and safety issue.
2. Minnesota Statute allows the Council to waive the Building
Code requirement for this purpose.
3. A safe and healthy living environment can be created and
thus resolve a hardship for the family.
Alternative Recommendation:
Not approve the waiver. Without a waiver, an unsafe living
environment will continue.
~ a-~
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Approval of the waiver at the February 11, 1991 meeting would
allow improvements to be made to the living environment.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 55
Agenda February 11, 1991
Issue Statement:
Consideration of a resolution opposing further cuts in state aid
to cities.
Background•
The state legislature will be considering a number of proposals
to limit Local Government Aid (LGA) payments to cities. In 1989,
$85 million in aid was shifted from cities to school districts.
In 1990, city. aid was permanently cut by $15.6 million and $30
million of LGA inflation adjustment was eliminated for pay in
1991 and all future years. In mid-year 1990, the City lost
5150,000 of LGA. That amount was carried over to 1991. $200,000
is expected to be cut from the 1991 LGA payments.- Over two
years, the City has lost approximately one-half million dollars
in LGA payments.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the resolution opposing further cuts in state aids to
cities.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The cities have already received significant reductions in
state aids.
2. The initial purpose of state income and sales tax was to
reduce property tax impact upon cities.
3. These funds are necessary in order to maintain essential
services for cities.
4. Independent auditors analysis indicates the City of Richfield
is operating in an efficient manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
Do not approve resolution.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented at the meeting of February 11,
1991.

RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OPPOSING FURTHER CUTS IN STATE AID TO CITIES
WHEREAS, state aid helps fund basic city services for the
City of Richfield and aid cuts would force large property tax
increases and threaten cuts in these services;
WHEREAS, many city services are essential -- police and fire
protection, drug programs, ambulance and emergency services, and
sewer, sanitation and water services -- and affect citizens'
health and safety. The state has an interest and responsibility
to help finance these services;
WHEREAS, if property taxes. increased as a result of aid
cuts, the tax rate disparities between some neighboring cities
and between cities and adjoining townships would .widen causing
great taxing inequities. The state has a responsibility to
ensure a reasonable level of equity in its tax system;
WHEREAS, our city has already faced large aid cuts: in
1989, $85 million in aid was shifted from cities to schools
districts; in 1990, city aid was permanently cut by $15.6 million
and the $30 million LGA inflation adjustment was eliminated for
Pay 1991 and all future years; for 1992, another $29 million in
local aid cuts are expected to meet the budget reduction target
in the 1990 tax bill;
WHEREAS, we oppose Governor Carlson's plan to cut local
government aid ( LGA) .and homestead a__nd a~:rir~i~ ~titra 1 rrcr~ z +~; ~
(HACA) by $21 million to help solve the $197 million state budget
shortfall;
WHEREAS, cities are not the cause of the current budget
crisis, and cities, like our own, have proven to be frugal
spenders. Per capita city spending in 1989 was virtually
unchanged from its level in 1980;
WHEREAS, while state spending on higher education, welfare,
and state agencies has increased significantly, LGA and property
tax relief funding have become smaller portions of state
spending;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Richfield,
Minnesota, that state aid to cities be maintained at current
levels;
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that further cuts in property
tax relief programs or tightening of levy limits for Pay 1991-
1993 will force the City of Richfield to raise property taxes and
seriously affect our ability to provide vital services to our
citizens;
~~~~
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that our members of the
Minnesota State Legislature oppose cuts in state aid to cities,
tightening of levy limits, or reductions based on fund balances.
.This Resolution is hereby passed and approved the 11th day
of February, 1991.
