Study Session Letter No. 9
Agenda March 5, 1990
Issue Statement:
Progress report on trash hauler efforts to coordinate pickup
schedule.
Background•
At the February 5, 1990 study session, the council requested
cooperation of trash haulers in coordinating pickup dates. The
purpose of the coordination was to avoid situations where some
blocks had garbage on the curb to be picked up on three or more
days during the week. The goal was to coordinate a schedule
where there would be a minimum of days, preferably one, or
maximum two, during which garbage would be at the curb for
pickup.
Staff has met with waste haulers on two occasions since that
time. The first meeting was to discuss the general direction and
preliminary boundaries. The haulers were to examine their
current routes and see if boundaries were feasible and report
back at the second meeting.
The second meeting was held on February 12. There was
considerable discussion as to how the boundaries would be drawn.
Compromise was reached. The plan is ready to be presented to the
City Council for general information purposes.
Staff Recommendation:
Review the schedule developed by trash haulers.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The council should determine if the proposed schedule meets
the proposed requirements that they have established.
2. In order to make these changes, schedules of pickup for some
residents will be affected. The residents will be notified.
Undoubtedly, some of the calls will be referred back to the
city and Council Members. Council Members should be aware of
what changes are being made for that purpose.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The council could choose not to review the changes.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented at the March 5, 1990 study session.
A more complete schedule and map will be provided at that time.

Memorandum
DATE: February 20, 1990
TO: James D. Prosser, City Manager
FROM: Don Fondrick; Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Trash Hauling Districts Proposed By Haulers
Since the February 5th Study Session,. we've met with the waste
haulers on two occasions. The purpose of the first meeting was
to discuss the Council's directive and have the haulers set some
preliminary boundaries. The haulers were to examine their
current routes to see if these boundaries were feasible; then
report back at the second meeting.
The second meeting was held Monday, February 12. There was
considerable discussion on where boundaries would be drawn,
especially on the east side of Richfield (Monday and Tuesday
routes). Haulers reached a compromise and determined that the
Monday boundary would be set at 10th Avenue and the Tuesday
boundary at Stevens. Although this presents a hardship for two
haulers in particular, establishing a three block "buffer"*
(where haulers could collect on two days from three blocks on
either side of-the determined boundary) would make these
boundaries acceptable to all haulers and decrease the amount of
disruptions.
Boundaries for the remainder of the week are:
- Wednesday: I-35W
- Thursday: Penn Avenue
- Friday: Xerxes Avenue
If it is decided this districting plan should be implemented,
haulers will need some lead time in order to notify their
customers. Rest assured, the haulers will refer customers
annoyed by this change to the Council and city staff.
* This "buffer" is crucial (especially to the small haulers) as
they do not have customers evenly distributed across the city.
On the buffer blocks, trash may be collected on two consecutive
days.
CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 8
Agenda March 5, 1990
Issue Statement•
Sale of State of Minnesota Lottery Tickets at Municipal Liquor
Stores
Background•
In 1988 a state lottery was approved by Minnesota voters. Of the
2 million+ casting ballots, 59~ voted in favor of the lottery.
The 21,000 Richfield voters approved the measure along similar
margins.
In 1989 the State Legislature approved start-up and operation of
the lottery. Outlets for lottery sales will include many retail
operations, including retail and municipal off-sale liquor
stores. City staff consulted with liquor industry consultants
regarding the impact of sales at the municipal operation. In
addition, the liquor store manager observed operations in other
states.
Staff Recommendation:
Authorize the sale of lottery tickets at municipal liquor stores.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. State law permits sale of lottery tickets at municipal liquor
stores.
2. An internal review by consultant indicates the city
operation has the management capacity to operate as a lottery
e agent with no increases in operational expenditures.
3. Internal review and review by consultant indicates that
customers will expect the liquor operations to sell lottery
tickets. A decision not to sell may translate into loss of
customers to other stores.
4. The consultant has provided conservative estimates of
additional gross profits of $50,000. The profits are
generated from a five percent commission on ticket sales.
5. Start-up costs are expected. to be minimal.
6. It appears that many other municipal liquor stores will be
operating lottery sales.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Request further council discussion on this matter, including
a formal vote on whether to approve or not approve lottery
sales. The city attorney advises that a formal vote is not
required. However, the council may wish further discussion.
Discussion/Decision Mode•
Unless there is a request to further discuss this item it will be
placed on the agenda for March 12, 1990.

operation.
A network of lottery ticket sales outlets throughout the state
will be established, beginning i.n the Spring of 1990.
Proceeds from the Lottery are dedicated to the Evironment
and Natural Resources Trust Fund and the Greater Minnesota
Corporation for economic development initiatives in rural
communities. _
Final results of Richfield's vote for a constitutional
amendment allowing a Minnesota Lottery by total precincts
were:

Deadline for initial application to be considered as a Lottery
agent was February 23, 1990.
The Municipal Liquor Dispensary has applied along with about
6,000 other retail outlets.

Council Lottery Letter
February 22, 1990
Staff has conferred with a beverage industry consultant on the
positive and negative impacts town operation concerning a
lottery.
Three basic areas are affected, all positively with regards to
.lottery ticket sales; Marketing, Management Productivity and
Financially.
# Management Productivity
The operations has the management capacity to run.
as a lottery agent with no increases in operational
expenditures.
# P~arketing
Customers will expect the operations to sell
lottery tickets, or mazy decide to shop else-
where.
The beverage consultant has indicated that
because of our merchandising, convenience, and
one-stop shopping that we will benefit by non-
lottery sales and .prof its.
# Financially
Conservative estimates indicated by the beverage
consultant.,- gross profiits could very well be in-
creased up to $50,000. A lottery agent receives
5% of each dollar sold in ticket form.
The beverage consultant, Grinstead & Associates recommends t-hat
the .Richfield Stores partictp~te in the lottery especially with
the strong response from other retail outlets who will be offer-
ing lottery tickets.
The initial cost to the operations is $100..00 per store as a
application fee.
It initially appears that the operations meets all require-
ments set forth by the lottery board.

Study Session Letter No. 7
Agenda, March 5, 1990
Issue Statement•
Policy and Strategy Recommendations for Airport Related Issues.
Background•
The Richfield Airport Strategy Group has met and reviewed issues
and events related to the airport. R.A.S.G. has provided
recommendations for policy and strategy implementation. Recent
developments regarding the airport include the following:
•New Ford Town Redevelopment Communication Plan.
Tom Martinson and staff have been presenting the plan
to organizations and individuals for visibility,
feedback and support. (See enclosed schedule for
further information.) So far, the plan has been
presented to local groups and agencies. The next
step is to inform the region of the concept.
By presenting this plan to various governmental
groups and state agencies, we are ensuring that
Track A is being addressed equally with Track B.
Ideally, the momentum of Track B should not surpass the
momentum of Track A.
®Develop Track A Task Force. At this time, there
is no statewide task for monitoring projects
at MSP Airport similar to the statewide
task force monitoring the new airport search area
process. At this time, the future state airport
planning is more heavily weighted on Track B.
By establishing a Track A Task Force, the future
airport planning would become equal between the
two tracks. Also, this new task force would keep
the MAC moving ahead with expanding capacity at
the present site.
sBloomington-Richfield Airport Adequacy Study.
Mendelsohn Associates have completed the duties as
stated on the joint contract between the cities of
Bloomington and Richfield. The final report was
submitted to both cities from the consultant group
in February 1990 (enclosed).
The next step with the study is to write
a Legislative Summary Report to submit it to the
Legislature. Rob Smith, Smith Patterson Co.,
has been hired to write the summary report.
estate Advisory Council on Airport Planning Update.
Sue Sandahl presented to the group a proposed schedule
being followed by the Council, January through July 1990
(enclosed). She reported on the topics covered at the
meetings held in January and February.
A concern was raised that the meeting schedule focuses
too heavily on Track B issues and that Track A issues
need to be placed on the agenda.
oDual Track Airport Strategy Environmental Review Process.
The strategy group found. after reviewing the document
being developed by the Metropolitan Council to be
emphasizing Track B while Track A is not being adequately
addressed. In the current future airport planning
process, we must make sure that Track A and Track B are
equally addressed as mandated by the State of Minnesota
in 1989.
Staff Recommendation:
With this background, the following recommendations are provided
to address these issues:
oNew Ford Town Redevelopment Communication Plan. The
strategy group recommends the following action:
1. Prepare for MAC a nine-month strategy plan to include
the implementation of the redevelopment concept
into their future airport planning.
2. Present the plan to the State Advisory Council on
Airport Planning with MAC initiating the request.
3. Produce a video tape with Tom Martinson presenting
the redevelopment concept. The tape would be shown on
regional cable channels and various meetings to give
the redevelopment concept broad exposure. The
estimated cost is $5,000.
4. If Northwest Airlines announces in March 1990 to
locate their Heavy Maintenance Facility at MSP Airport,
the City of Richfield will respond immediately by
stating approval and to be included in the coordination
of our redevelopment plans with their plans.
5. Develop an acquisition and clearance agreement between
the City of Richfield and MAC regarding acquisition
of property in New Ford Town.
6. Continue to set up meetings with individuals and
organizations listed on the communications plan
schedule.
•Develop Track A Task Force. The strategy group
recommends the City of Richfield should meet with
MAC officials and inform them of the importance of
developing a statewide task force to monitor Track A
similar to the established task force monitoring
Track B. The MAC should initiate establishment of
the task force.
•Bloomington-Richfield Airport Adequacy Study. The strategy
group recommends the Legislative Summary Report to be
completed in three weeks and sent to the Legislature.
•State Advisory Council on Airport Planning. The strategy
group recommends the MAC needs to initiate placing Track A
agenda items before the Council rather than Sue Sandahl.
Richfield-staff could prepared issues for MAC
presentation.
•Dual Track Airport Strategy Environmental Review Process.
The strategy group recommends that staff highlight
areas of environmental concern that were not
adequately addressed in the report. Staff should ensure
that both Track A and Track B are being dealt with equally
and pass this information to the Metropolitan Council and
MAC. Also, staff will investigate this concern with MAC
staff for their reaction.
®MAC staff and board members have been meeting
individually with Bloomington City Council Members to
discuss 4/22. MAC may also be requesting meetings with
Richfield Council Members for the same purpose.
Council may want to discuss how this should be
addressed.
Alternative Recommendation:
A variety of alternative recommendations may be discussed at the
March 5, 1990 Study Session.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
These matters will be discussed at the March 5, 1990 Study
Session.
