REVIEWED BY CITY
MANAGER:
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution asking Hennepin County to reconstruct county roads in Richfield.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the resolution requesting Hennepin County to
reconstruct county roads in Richfield.
I II. BACKGROUND I
The condition of county roads located in Richfield including 66th Street (CR 53),
Penn Avenue (CR 32), Nicollet Avenue (CR 52) and Portland Avenue (CR 35) has
deteriorated over the years to the point that most of them are in need of major repair
or total reconstruction. Curb and gutter sections are sinking. Old overlays to repair
county roads have paved over the top of the old curb and gutter. .
Pavement overlays by the county have left the curb so shallow that trucks and other.
vehicles drive easily over the curb, further pushing the curb down. A sunken curb
also poses a safety hazard for pedestrians.
Most of the sidewalks along county roads in Richfield are in poor condition and
need to be replaced. Sidewalks can't be fixed without first replacing a curb that has
sunk.
0124County Roads
The sidewalks along county roads are poorly designed and difficult to maintain. In
most cases, the sidewalk is placed immediately behind the curb due to a severely
limited right of way width. The City would like to cooperate in improving the design
of the sidewalks so that adequate snow storage space is available making them
safer and easier to maintain. Increasing sidewalk width and/or moving the
. sidewalks away from the curb will also improve safety for pedestrians.
City staff has shared its concern about county roads with Hennepin County staff.
This resolution intends to urge the County to make repairs where appropriate and
schedule reconstruction where necessary on its road system in Richfield.
The County begins to prepare its new capital improvement program in February of
each year. By passing a resolution now, the City Council will have the greatest
impact on the County's decision-making regarding road improvements in Richfield.
I III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION I
I A. POLICY I
. Four county roads and their sidewalks further the achievement of the
following Comprehensive Plan Goal: Preserving the transportation
infrastructure that provides a high degree of accessibility for
destinations in and around Richfield.
lB. CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The Council can best influence road investment decisions at the
county level in February of each year as the County begins to prepare
its capital improvement program.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. There could be financial participation by the city where crosswalk and
sidewalk replacement is necessary.
I D. LEGAL I
. The proposed resolution does not impose any legal obligations on the
City.
I IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) I
. Council may choose not approve the attached resolution. However, road
improvement funds may be diverted to other cities in Hennepin County.
I V. ATTACHMENTS I
. Resolution requesting Hennepin County to repair County Roads in Richfield.
. City of Richfield Map - Municipal State Aid Street System
I VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
. None anticipated.
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT HENNEPIN COUNTY RECONSTRUCT COUNTY
ROADS IN RICHFIELD
WHEREAS, the four county roads in Richfield, 66th Street (CR 53), Penn Avenue
(CR 32), Nicollet Avenue (CR 52) and Portland Avenue (CR 35), are in poor condition; and
WHEREAS. the four county roads in Richfield carry the most traffic and are in the
poorest condition than any other road within the city; and
WHEREAS, the current road design is outdated and does not safely accomodate
bicyclists and pedestrians; and
WHEREAS, the curbs on county roads in Richfield have sunk and the gutters have
been overlayed, leading to safety hazards for pedestrians on sidewalks along these county
roads; and
WHEREAS, the sidewalks along county roads in Richfield are in need of
replacement or repair but can not be fixed until the curb is replaced; and
WHEREAS, many of the roads have deteriorated to the point where overlays are no
longer adequate for maintenance and should be scheduled for complete reconstruction;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield is willing to cooperate in the redesign of the
roadways and sidewalks along county roads in Richfield to improve their safety and
simplify their maintenance by providing additional snow storage where possible; and
WHEREAS, conversations with county staff have indicated that it is our reponsibility
to request repairs/reconstruction to county roads in our jurisdication.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Richfield requests
Hennepin County to identify major road repairs where appropriate and road reconstruction
where necessary on the county roads in Richfield for inclusion in the County's Capital
Improvement Program.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 24th day of
January, 2006.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution regarding an interfund loan to provide interim financing for the
repayment of the 2003A Bonds; Cornerstone Group Kensinaton Park proiect.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the resolution regarding an interfund loan in the
approximate amount of $718,000 for six months with interest at the
rate of 6% per annum in accordance with MN Statute 469.178 Subd. 7.
I II. BACKGROUND I
. As part of The Cornerstone Group's (Cornerstone) Kensington Park
development, the City of Richfield issued on behalf of the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to help fund on an interim basis Cornerstone's
Kensington Park Development, Taxable G.O. Temporary Tax Increment Bonds,
Series 2003A (Bonds).
. As part ofthe issuance of the Bonds, the HRA and Cornerstone agreed that
Cornerstone would be responsible for the repayment of principal and interest on
the Bonds. It was agreed that sale proceeds from residential units from the
development would be used to pay the Bonds.
. The Bonds mature on February 1, 2006, the principal due is $3,000,000 and
interest due is $37,500 for a total due of $3,037,500.
. Presently there is a deficiency in residential sale proceeds received by the
City/HRA from Cornerstone. The number of units currently unsold at Kensington
012406 2003A Bonds
Park totals twelve units. In communication with Cornerstone, four units are
currently under contract for purchase and they anticipate three of the units to be
sold prior to January 31,2006. However, even with the sale of these three units
there would still be a deficiency of around $326,000 needed to payoff the Bonds
on February 1, 2006. If any of the estimated closings do not occur, the
deficiency could increase to a balance up to $718,000.
I A. POLICY I
. The HRA approved attheJanuary 17, 2006 meeting a resolution, to
establish an interfund loan to fund the deficiency in residential sale
proceeds used to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds.
. This loan would be from the HRA to the City.
I B.' CRITICAL ISSUES I
. The Bonds mature on February 1 , 2006 and it is necessary to identify
an interim financing plan to ensure timely payment of the Bonds.
I C. FINANCIAL I
. Principal and interest on the Bonds is to be paid by Cornerstone out of
residential sale proceeds from the development.
. Total principal and interest due on February 1,2006 is $3,037,500.
. It is expected that at February 1,2006, residential sale proceeds
received by the City from Cornerstone could be deficient by
approximately $718,000.
. The City will secure the funds necessary to cover the deficiency and
pay the Bonds on February 1, 2006 by an interfund loan from HRA
funds available for this purpose.
. After payment of this amount, the City will have no further obligations
on these Bonds.
. The interfund loan will be for a period not to exceed six months and
will. bear interest at the rate permitted by MN Statutes, Section
469.178 Subd. 7.
. Principal and interest on the interfund loan will be charged against
sale proceeds for the remaining units received from Cornerstone.
. If the City has not received sufficient proceeds from the sales of
additional units during that six-month period to repay the interfund
loan, the HRA will utilize any of the remedies available to it under the
Redevelopment Contract.
I III.
I D. LEGAL I
. The interest permitted by MN Statues, Section 469.178 Subd. 7 is 6%.
