143. DIGITAL BODY RECORDERS
R I C H F I E L D
P O L I C E
D E P A R T M E N T
P O L I C Y
NOTE: This policy is for internal use only and does not enlarge an employee's civil or criminal liability in
any way. It should not be construed as the creation of a higher standard of safety or care in an
evidentiary sense, with respect to third party claims. Violations of this policy, if proven, can only form the
basis of a complaint by this Department, and then only in a non-judicial administrative setting.
I. PURPOSE
The primary purpose of using body-worn-cameras (BWCs) is to capture evidence arising from police-
citizen encounters. This policy sets forth guidelines governing the use of BWCs and administrating the
data that results. Compliance with these guidelines is mandatory, but it is recognized that officers must
also attend to other primary duties and the safety of all concerned, sometimes in circumstances that are
tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving.
II. POLICY
It is the policy of this department to authorize and require the use of department-issued BWCs as set forth
below, and to administer BWC data as provided by law.
III. SCOPE
This policy governs the use of BWCs in the course of official duties. It does not apply to the use of
squad-based recording systems. The chief or chief’s designee may supersede this policy by providing
specific instructions for BWC use to individual officers, or providing specific instructions pertaining to
particular events or classes of events, including but not limited to political rallies and demonstrations. The
chief or designee may also provide specific instructions or standard operating procedurals for BWC use to
officers assigned to specialized details, such as carrying out duties in courts or guarding prisoners or
patients in hospitals and mental health facilities, or to officers deemed to be Brady Giglio-impaired.
IV. DEFINITIONS
The following phrases have special meanings as used in this policy:
A. MGDPA or Data Practices Act refers to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. §
13.01, et.seq.
B. Records Retention Schedule refers to the General Records Retention Schedule for Minnesota Cities.
C. Law Enforcement-Related Information means information captured or available for capture by use of
a BWC that has evidentiary value because it documents events with respect to a stop, arrest, search,
citation, or charging decision.
D. Evidentiary Value means that the information may be useful as proof in a crim inal prosecution,
related civil or administrative proceeding, further investigation of an actual or suspected criminal act, or
in considering an allegation against a law enforcement agency or officer.
E. General Citizen Contact means an informal encounter with a citizen that is not and does not become
law enforcement-related or adversarial, and a recording of the event would not yield information
relevant to an ongoing investigation.
Effective Date: 05/21/14
No. of Pages: 9
Serial Number: 10-043
Authority: Chief Jay Henthorne
F. Adversarial means a law enforcement encounter with a person that becomes confrontational, during
which at least one person expresses anger, resentment, or hostility toward the other, or at least one
person directs toward the other verbal conduct cons isting of arguing, threatening, challenging,
swearing, yelling, or shouting. Encounters in which a citizen demands to be recorded or initiates
recording on his or her own are deemed adversarial.
G. Unintentionally Recorded Footage is a video recording that results from an officer’s inadvertence or
neglect in operating the officer’s BWC, provided that no portion of the resulting recording has
evidentiary value. Examples of unintentionally recorded footage include, but are not limited to,
recordings made in station house locker rooms, restrooms, and recordings made while officers were
engaged in conversations of a non-business, personal nature with the expectation that the
conversation was not being recorded.
H. Official Duties, for purposes of this policy, means that the officer is on duty and performing authorized
law enforcement services on behalf of this agency.
V. USE AND DOCUMENTATION
A. BWC recordings generated are the exclusive property of the Richfield Police Department and shall be
governed by the policy and law regarding government data and its collection and retention.
B. Officers may use only department issued BWCs in the performance of official duties for this agency or
when otherwise performing authorized law enforcement services as an employee of this department.
C. Officers who have been issued BWCs shall operate and use them consistent with this polic y. Officers
shall conduct a function test of their issued BWCs at the beginning of each shift to make sure the
devices are operating properly. Officers noting a malfunction during testing or at any other time shall
promptly report the malfunction to the officer’s supervisor and shall document the report in writing.
Supervisors shall take prompt action to address malfunctions and document the steps taken in writing.
D. Officers should wear their issued BWCs at the location on their body and in the manner spec ified in
training.
E. Officers must document BWC use and non-use as follows:
1. Whenever an officer makes a recording, the existence of the recording shall be documented
in an incident report, citation, computer aided dispatch (CAD) records or other documented
record of the event.
2. Whenever an officer fails to record an activity that is required to be recorded under this policy
or captures only a part of the activity, the officer must document the circumstances and
reasons for not recording in an incident report, CAD record, or other documented record of
the event. Supervisors shall review these reports and initiate any corrective action deemed
necessary.
F. The department will maintain the following records and documents relating to BWC use, which are
classified as public data:
a. The total number of BWCs owned or maintained by the agency;
b. A daily record of the total number of BWCs actually deployed and used by off icers;
c. The total amount of recorded BWC data collected and maintained;
d. This policy, together with the Records Retention Schedule.
General Guidelines for Recording
A. Mandatory Recording - Understanding that officers encounter tense, uncertain, and rapidly
evolving situations, officers must activate their BWC at their earliest opportunity and before
arriving on scene when recording is required by this policy.
Activating a BWC early, before an officer arrives on scene, allows an officer to safely turn on
the BWC before reacting to or dealing with the circumstances of a particular call, incident,
investigation or event. This also helps document important information from a view closer to
that of the officer’s perspective. Therefore, officers must activate their BWCs when preparing
for or initiating any law enforcement action, when responding to any call or incident, and
before arriving on scene in the following circumstances and conditions:
When an officer is dispatched to or investigating any call or incident.
When an officer is assisting another officer at a call or incident.
When an officer is participating in any of the following police actions:
Any vehicle stop, including traffic and investigative stops.
Vehicle pursuits.
Investigative stops of individuals.
Initiating any arrest.
All frisks and searches (e.g., suspect, vehicle, structure, physical area).
All strip searches must be conducted in accordance with Prisoner Transport Policy #243
and will only be audio recorded with the BWC.
When encountering or responding to resistance or aggression. See Use of Force Policy
#201.
When any situation becomes adversarial, including situations which are either verbally or
physically adversarial
In-custody transports.
Suspect interviews in the field, including in-custody interviews occurring in the field when
the Miranda warning is required.
When directed by a supervisor.
While operating a vehicle under Vehicle Operation General and Emergency Policy #208.
If an officer is at a location or in any situation where an event occurs or develops where this
policy mandates recording and their BWC is not alre ady activated, the officer must activate
the BWC as soon as activation is possible and safe.
B. Discretionary Recording
This policy does not describe every possible situation where the BWC may be activated.
Beyond the mandated scenarios described above, an officer may activate the BWC when
they believe it should be activated based on their training, experience, and judgement, except
when recording is prohibited under this policy. If an officer is involved in a situation and they
are unsure if the activation is mandatory, discretionary or prohibited, they should activate the
BWC.
C. Prohibited Recording
Interactions solely among other department employees when not actively investigating or
assigned to a call or incident.
Non-work related activity.
Within areas of a police facility restricted to personnel-only access, including roll call
rooms, locker rooms, break rooms, and report rooms. BWCs should only record citizen
contacts inside a police facility if relevant to an investigation or to compl y with the
Mandatory Recording situations described in this policy.
When interacting with undercover officers or confidential informants, or persons providing
information based on confidentiality, unless necessary for a law enforcement
investigation or to comply with the Mandatory Recording situations described in this
policy.
During a work break.
At any location where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists, such as a bathroom or
locker room, unless necessary for a law enforcement investigation or to comply with the
Mandatory Recording situations described in this policy.
In patient care areas of a hospital, sexual assault treatment center, or other healthcare
facility unless necessary for a law enforcement investigation or to comply with the
Mandatory Recording situations described in this policy.
This policy also recognizes that officers encounter tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving
situations regardless of location. Given this fact, officers may unintentionally create a
prohibited recording or may intentionally record to comply with the Mandatory Recording
requirements of this policy.
Officers who are aware they may have created a prohibited recording must report that
recording to their supervisor. The video management personnel will manage data recorded in
violation of policy.
Victim or witness interviews must also be recorded, unless the officer becomes aware of the
following:
Officers may be aware that the identity of a victim or witness is protected by the Minn.
Stat. § 13.82. Individuals whose identities are protected under the Minn. Stat. § 13.82
include victims or alleged victims of criminal sexual conduct or sex trafficking. An officer
may deactivate recording to protect the identity of someone afforded protection under the
Minn. Stat. § 13.82, provided the request does not conflict with any other Mandatory
Recording requirement under this policy.
An officer may deactivate recording upon the request of a victim or witness, provided the
request does not conflict with any other Mandatory Recording requirement under this
policy.
Officers should consider the totality of the circumstances before deactivating recording
and determine the best approach for a particular circumstance. For example, deactivation
may be the best option if the situation is not adversarial and a BWC inhibits a victim or
witness from providing information. Nothing precludes an officer who has deactivated
recording under these circumstances from reactivating it should mandatory recording
circumstances emerge or the officer choose to reactivate recording in their discretion.
Deactivation under these circumstances must be documented in an incident report, or if
no incident report is otherwise required it must be documented in CAD comments.
This policy recognizes officers cannot or will not always know of or have time or
opportunity to account for protections afforded under the Minn. Stat. § 13.82. An officer
may also intentionally record an individual with Minn. Stat. § 13.82 protections, or any
witness or victim who has requested recording be deactivated, in order to comply with
other sections of this policy. Compliance with the other Mandatory Recording
requirements under this policy is the higher priority.
The video management personnel will provide the final review to ensure appropriate
management of data and compliance with the Minn. Stat. § 13.82.
Special Guidelines for Recording Officers may, in the exercise of sound discretion, determine:
A. To use their BWC’s to record any police-citizen encounter if there is reason to believe the
recording would potentially yield information having evidentiary value, unless such recording
is otherwise expressly prohibited.
B. To use their BWC’s to take recorded statements from persons believe d to be victims of and
witnesses to crimes, and persons suspected of committing crimes, considering the needs of
the investigation and the circumstances pertaining to the victim, witness, or suspect.
C. Officers need not record persons being provided medical care unless there is reason to
believe the recording would document information having evidentiary value. When
responding to an apparent mental health crisis or event, BWC’s shall be activated as
necessary to document any use of force and the basis for it, and any other information having
evidentiary value, but need not be activated when doing so would serve only to record
symptoms or behaviors believed to be attributable to the mental health issue.
D. Officers are encouraged to activate their BWC and in-car video system when transporting
prisoners under the following conditions:
a. Prisoner is argumentative or combative.
b. Prisoner assaults an officer prior to transport.
c. Prisoner is injured or claims to be injured.
d. Prisoner is attempting to injure himself
Downloading and Labeling Data
A. Each officer using a BWC is responsible for transferring or assuring the proper transfer of the
data from his or her camera to the Watchguard storage location by the end of that officer’s
shift. However, if the officer is involved in a shooting, in-custody death, or other law
enforcement activity resulting in death or great bodily harm, a supervisor or investigator shall
take custody of the officer’s BWC and assume responsibility for transferring the data from it.
B. Officers shall label the BWC data files at the time of video capture or transfer to storage, and
should consult with a supervisor if in doubt as to the appropriate labeling. Officers should
assign as many of the following labels as are applicable to each file:
1. Report: The recording was made during an event which resulted in the creation of an
incident report. 7 year retention
2. Citation with no report: The recording was made during an event which resulted in the
issuance of one or more citations, but no incident report was created. 3 year retention
3. Event with no report: The recording was made during an event which did not require an
incident report or issuance of citation(s). 90 day retention
4. Test: The recording was made during a test of the devices functionality. 90 day retention
5. Unintentionally recorded footage: 90 day retention
C. In addition, officers shall flag each file as appropriate to indicate that it contains information
about data subjects who may have rights under the MGDPA limiting disclosure of information
about them. These individuals include:
1. Victims and alleged victims of criminal sexual conduct and sex trafficking.
2. Victims of child abuse or neglect.
3. Vulnerable adults who are victims of maltreatment.
4. Undercover officers.
5. Informants.
6. When the video is clearly offensive to common sensitivities.
7. Victims of and witnesses to crimes, if the victim or witness has requested not to be
identified publicly.
8. Individuals who called 911, and services subscribers whose lines were used to place a
call to the 911 system.
9. Mandated reporters.
10. Juvenile witnesses, if the nature of the event or activity justifies protecting the identity of
the witness.
11. Juveniles who are or may be delinquent or engaged in criminal acts.
12. Individuals who make complaints about violations with respect to the use of real property.
13. Officers and employees who are the subject of a complaint related to the events captured
on video.
14. Other individuals whose identities the officer believes may be legally protected from
public disclosure.
D. Labeling and flagging designations may be corrected or amended based on additional
information.
Administering Access to BWC Data
A. Data subjects. Under Minnesota law, the following are considered data subjects for
purposes of administering access to BWC data:
1. Any person or entity whose image or voice is documented in the data.
2. The officer who collected the data.
3. Any other officer whose voice or image is documented in the data, regardless of whether
that officer is or can be identified by the recording.
B. BWC data is presumptively private BWC recordings are classified as private data about
the data subjects unless there is a specific law that provides differently. As a result:
1. BWC data pertaining to people is presumed private, as is BWC data pertaining to
businesses or other entities.
2. Some BWC data is classified as confidential (see C. below).
3. Some BWC data is classified as public (see D. below).
C. Confidential data BWC data that is collected or created as part of an active criminal
investigation is confidential. This classification takes precedence over the “private”
classification listed above and the “public” classifications listed below.
D. Public data The following BWC data is public:
1. Data documenting the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty,
other than for training or the killing of an animal that is sick, injured, or dangerous.
2. Data that documents the use of force by a peace officer that results in substantial bodily
harm.
3. Data that a data subject requests to be made accessible to the public, subject to
redaction. Data on any data subject (other than a peace officer) who has not consented
to the public release must be redacted if practicable. In addition, any data on undercover
officers must be redacted.
4. Data that documents the final disposition of a disciplinary action against a public
employee.
However, if another provision of the Data Practices Act classifies data as private or otherwise
not public, the data retains that other classification. For instance, data that reveals protected
identities under Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd. 17 (e.g., certain victims, witnesses, and others)
should not be released even if it would otherwise fit into one of the public categories listed
above.
E. Access to BWC data by non-employees Officers shall refer members of the media or
public seeking access to BWC data to the Records Supervisor or Chief of Police, who shall
process the request in accordance with the MGDPA and other governing laws. In particular:
1. An individual shall be allowed to review recorded BWC data about him or herself and
other data subjects in the recording, but access shall not be granted:
a. If the data was collected or created as part of an active investigation.
b. To portions of the data that the agency would otherwise be prohibited by law
from disclosing to the person seeking access, such as portions that would reveal
identities protected by Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd. 17.
2. Unless the data is part of an active investigation, an individual data subject shall be
provided with a copy of the recording upon request, but subject to the following guidelines
on redaction:
a. Data on other individuals in the recording who do not consent to the release must
be redacted.
b. Data that would identify undercover officers must be redacted.
c. Data on other officers who are not undercover, and who are on duty and
engaged in the performance of official duties, may not be redacted.
F. Access by peace officers and law enforcement employees No employee may have
access to the department’s BWC data except for legitimate law enforcement or data
administration purposes:
1. Officers may access and view stored BWC video only when there is a business need for
doing so, including the need to defend against an allegation of misconduct or
substandard performance.
2. Officers involved in a Critical Incident may view or listen to video technology of the
incident only after:
a. Officer(s) involved in a Critical Incident may view and/or listen to BWC and
Squad Camera Data of the incident only after:
The Officer has met with the Union representative or legal counsel, if those
entities are requested by the officer, and
The officer and legal counsel have met with the investigative entity or
designee regarding the process for Critical Incident set out in Policy #213.
3. Agency personnel shall document their reasons for accessing stored BWC data at the
time of each access. Agency personnel are prohibited from accessing BWC data for non-
business reasons and from sharing the data for non-law enforcement related purposes,
including but not limited to uploading BWC data recorded or maintained by this agency to
public and social media websites.
4. Employees seeking access to BWC data for non-business reasons may make a request
for it in the same manner as any member of the public.
G. Other authorized disclosures of data. Officers may display portions of BWC footage to
witnesses as necessary for purposes of investigation as allowed by Minn. Stat. § 13.82, subd.
15, as may be amended from time to time. Officers should generally limit these displays in
order to protect against the incidental disclosure of individuals whose identities are not public.
Protecting against incidental disclosure could involve, for instance, showing only a portion of
the video, showing only screen shots, muting the audio, or playing the audio but not
displaying video. In addition
1. BWC data may be shared with other law enforcement agencies only for legitimate law
enforcement purposes that are documented in writing at the time of the disclosure.
2. BWC data shall be made available to prosecutors, courts, and other criminal justice
entities as provided by law.
Data Security Safeguards
A. Access to electronically archived BWC data shall be controlled by secure and individualized
login credentials. BWC data storage is self-contained within the Watchguard system. Once
data is captured, it migrates through multiple secure hard drives, making backup copies of
the data. BWC data is also automatically stored to a secondary external server, making it
accessible in the event data cannot be retrieved from the primary server for some reason.
B. Access to BWC data from city or personally owned and approved devices shall be managed
in accordance with established city policy.
C. Officers shall not intentionally edit, alter, or erase any BWC recording unless otherwise
expressly authorized by the chief or the chief’s designee.
D. As required by Minn. Stat. § 13.825, subd. 9, as may be amended from time to time, this
agency shall obtain an independent biennial audit of its BWC program.
Agency Use of Data
A. At least twice a month, supervisors will randomly review BWC usage by each officer to
ensure compliance with this policy, and to identify any performance areas in which additional
training or guidance is required.
B. In addition, supervisors and other assigned personnel may access BWC data for the
purposes of reviewing or investigating a specific incident that has given rise to a complaint or
concern about officer misconduct or performance.
C. Nothing in this policy limits or prohibits the use of BWC data as evidence of misconduct or as
a basis for discipline.
D. Officers should contact their supervisors to discuss retaining and using BWC footage for
training purposes. Officer objections to preserving or using certain footage for training will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. Field training officers may utilize BWC data with
trainees for the purpose of providing coaching and feedback on the trainees’ performance.
Data Retention
A. All BWC data shall be retained for a minimum period of 90 days. There are no exceptions for
erroneously recorded or non-evidentiary data.
B. Data documenting the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty, other
than for training or the killing of an animal that is sick, injured, or dangerous, must be
maintained for a minimum period of one year.
C. Certain kinds of BWC data must be retained for six years:
1. Data that documents the use of deadly force by a peace officer, or force of a sufficient
type or degree to require a use of force report or supervisory review.
2. Data documenting circumstances that have given rise to a formal complaint against an
officer.
D. Other data having evidentiary value shall be retained for the period specified in the Records
Retention Schedule. When a particular recording is subject to multiple retention periods, it
shall be maintained for the longest applicable period.
E. Subject to Part F (below), all other BWC footage that is classified as non -evidentiary,
becomes classified as non-evidentiary, or is not maintained for training shall be destroyed
after 90 days.
F. Upon written request by a BWC data subject, the agency shall retain a recording pertaining to
that subject for an additional time period requested by the subj ect of up to 180 days. The
agency will notify the requestor at the time of the request that the data will then be destroyed
unless a new written request is received.
G. The department shall maintain an inventory of BWC recordings having evidentiary value.
H. The department will post this policy, together with its Records Retention Schedule, on its
website.
Compliance
Supervisors shall monitor for compliance with this policy. The unauthorized access to or
disclosure of BWC data may constitute misconduct and subject individuals to disciplinary action
and criminal penalties pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13.09.

manage the effec ts of shore area crowding and development.
A significant portion of the designated public waters within Richfield (W ood Lake, Ric hfield Lake, and Legion
Lake) are surrounded by park land with no development possibilities. I n areas where improvements on public
or private lands surrounding these public waters have been proposed in the past, staff c onsidered the
Department of Natural Resources (D NR) recommendations in all reviews. This ordinance would formalize
those D NR recommendations at a City level with referenc es specific to the public waters within Richfield
jurisdic tion.
I t is in the best interest to adhere to the D NR recommendations to ensure the wise development of shore
lands of public waters and thus preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, c onserve the natural
environmental values of shore lands, and provide for the wise utilization of waters and related land resources.

Statutes, Chapter 462.
430.02. – Purpose.
The uncontrolled use of shorelands of the City of Richfield affects the public health,
safety and general welfare by contributing to pollution of public waters and by impairing the
local tax base. It is, therefore, in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to
provide for the wise development of shorelands of public waters and thus preserve and enhance
the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of
shorelands, and provide for the wise utilization of waters and related land resources.
The purpose of this Section is to implement regulations concerning the use, development,
and alteration of certain shore areas in the City of Richfield in compliance with directives and
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 103F.221, Subd. 1 and rules adopted pursuant
thereto. These regulations are adopted in order to protect the natural characteristics of such shore
areas and adjacent water areas to prevent the pollution of surface and ground waters to minimize
flood damage, to manage the effects of shore area crowding and development, and to maintain
shore area property values.

I T E M F O R C O UNC I L C O NS I D E RAT IO N:
Consideration of the approval of an ordinance amending the City's Zoning Or dinance related to
construction standards to mitigate the impact of airport noise and consider ation of a resolution
authorizing summary publication of said or dinance.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
I n 2009, the City adopted a new sec tion to the Zoning Code entitled "541.19 Noise Attenuation." One of the
main purposes of this code provision was to require building materials with superior sound transmission
classification (S TC) rating to better insulate against noise penetration in the area of the City most affected by
airc raft overflight noise associated with operations at the Minneapolis-St. Paul I nternational Airport (MS P).
I n 2013, this section of the Code was amended to make it clear that the upgraded building requirements were
to be c onsidered only a recommendation for remodeling projects while remaining a requirement for new
construction.
Sinc e the original adoption of the Ordinance, only a few homes have been built in the affec ted area. W ithin
the past 6 months, however, three new single-family homes and 283 units of multi-family housing have been
proposed for the area. I n apply ing the Code requirements, as c urrently written, to the new proposals, both
staff and the construction contractors involved in these proposals have found that the language in the code is
too vague in some cases and practic ally and/or financially infeasible in others.
Currently, the language states that construction in the affected areas "shall utilize building materials with a
sound transmission classification rating of at least 40." W hile it was the intent of the C ode that this
requirement was only meant for the exterior envelope of the building, and not interior walls or floors, this is not
clearly stated. I t is also not clear whether the S TC of 40 is required of each and every exterior building
component (i.e. dry er vents, storm doors and primary doors, soffits, etc.). I n practic al terms, not every
component rec eives an S TC rating or is easy to test for sound transmission and there are some c omponents
that are either not offered on the market with an S TC rating of 40 or greater or the c ost of them c an be so
excessive as to render c onstruc tion of any housing in this area as infeasible.
For these reasons, staff is recommending amending the language in the code to specify that the S TC
requirements only apply to exterior building materials and that the S TC rating goal of 40 or higher would be
applied as an average to the exterior surfaces rather than to eac h individual c omponent. Additional
specificity for minimum S TC ratings for windows and doors is being proposed, as these are a c hief cause of
conc ern for noise penetration. The specific S TC ratings for windows and doors that are being recommended
is the result of a great deal of researc h as to the market availability of windows and doors designed for noise
insulation.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion:
1. Approv e an ordinance ame nding the City 's Zoning Ordinance related to construction
standards to mitigate the impact of airport noise , and;
2. Approv e a re solution authorizing summary publication of an ordinance amending the
City 's Zoning Ordinance related to construction standards to mitigate the impact of
airport noise.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
W hen the Minnesota legislature and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MA C ) made the
decision to expand the Minneapolis-S t. P aul I nternational Airport (MS P ) in 1999, the City of
Richfield had many conc erns regarding the impac t of airport related noise. I n the early 2000's the
City undertook legal challenges to address some of those c oncerns. Ultimately, a C onsent Decree
was agreed upon that served as a framework for a resolution, settling the legal dispute. As part of
that C onsent D ec ree, the MA C agreed to expand its noise mitigation program whic h made
upgrades to homes in order to better insulate against noise penetration. A c ondition on Ric hfield
was that the C ity had to consider an ordinanc e requiring new residential construction to include
building materials and methods designed to better insulate against noise penetration.
The C ity did pass suc h an ordinanc e in 2009 (subsequently revised in 2013). Since that time,
application of this ordinanc e in prac tice has shown that the language is too vague and, in some
cases, requires building materials that do not exist in the market.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
As a requirement of the Consent Decree between the City and the MA C , the C ity was required to
consider an ordinance governing construction standards to mitigate the impact of airport noise.
The C onsent D ec ree, however, did not require adoption (only consideration), nor did it affect
whether the C ity could amend such an ordinanc e.
The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing to c onsider this ordinanc e amendment at their
November 27, 2017 meeting and voted unanimously to rec ommend its approval.
The C ity Council held a 1st reading of this ordinanc e amendment at its November 28, 2017
regular meeting.
I t should be noted that the City Counc il's 1st Reading of this Ordinance required a minimum S TC
rating of 27 for glass doors; that number has been changed to 28 for this second reading.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
There are three single-family homes and 283 units of multi-family housing planned in the affected
area. The contractors involved in those projects have expressed to C ity staff that there is some
confusion about the language in the existing ordinanc e and that, depending on the interpretation
of that ordinanc e, it might affect whether their proposals are financ ially feasible. Those projects
have paused their design phase as it applies to exterior c onstruction materials until this issue is
further c onsidered by the Planning C ommission and City Council.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
There is no direct financial impact to the C ity.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION :
The C ity Attorney has been involved in discussions about this ordinance amendment and was
involved in drafting the language for the proposed revision.
ALT E R N AT IV E R E C O MME N D AT IO N(S):
Do not approve the rec ommended ordinanc e amendment.
Approve the ordinance amendment with changes based on City Counc il direction.

Public hearing and consideration of the appr oval of a transitory ordinance vacating a portion of 67th
Street East right-of-way and a storm sewer easement within The Chamber lain development.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City Counc il approved plans for The Chamberlain project (approximately 283 new apartments, 33
renovated apartments, and a 2-bloc k extension of Richfield Parkway) on September 26, 2017. A condition of
this approval is the platting of land within the development area. As part of the plat review process, the city
considers whether or not existing easements should remain in plac e or be vacated; two segments of 67th
Street and a storm sewer easement were identified for vac ation. One segment of the 67th Street right-of-way
in question was largely removed in 2007 and construction of The Chamberlain projec t will eliminate any
potential for reopening this c onnection from 17th to 18th Avenue. The other segment of 67th Street was
constructed as a temporary connec tion between 18th Avenue, south of the roundabout and Cedar Avenue.
This area is beneath a proposed building. A new 67th Street connec tion, between the Vinocopia property
(6636 Cedar Ave) and the development will be constructed as part of the project. Finally, there is an existing
storm sewer that will be removed as part of the projec t; the easement over this area should also be vacated.
Easements for all new roads and utilities shall be incorporated into the plat.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Approve a second reading a transitory ordinance
vacating a portion of 67th Street East right-of-way and a storm sewer easement within The
Chamberlain development area.

The C ounc il may by ordinance vacate a street, alley, public grounds or a part thereof, on its own
motion or upon the petition of the owners of half of the land abutting the street, alley, public
grounds or part thereof, to be vacated.
The Housing and Redevelopment A uthority is the owner of more than 50% of the land abutting the
right-of-way and considered a petition requesting the vacation on November 20, 2017.
Kraus-A nderson and Richfield Apartments L L C c omprise more than 50% of the land abutting the
storm sewer easement and have petitioned for its vac ation.
No vacation may be made unless it appears to be in the interest of the public to do so.

Consideration of the approval of resolutions approving the 2017 Revised/2018 Proposed budget and
tax levy and related resolutions.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
On September 12, 2017, the City Council approved and c ertified a preliminary tax levy of $20,399,828 and
an Ec onomic D evelopment Authority (E D A) levy of $560,467 to Hennepin County.
At the September 12, 2017 meeting, staff presented these levies as two separate levies. However, per state
statues, the E D A levy is part of the City’s levy, and it is inc luded on the City’s tax rate, not on the special
taxing district tax rate. Therefore, subsequent to that meeting, the City has refined its 2018 proposed budget
and tax levy to include the E D A levy in the City’s general tax levy.
I n light of the fac t that the E D A levy is included in the City ’s general tax levy and in order to mitigate the
impac t this has on the levy, staff is recommending an inc rease of $335,000 in budgeted Local Government
Aid revenues, whic h in essenc e reduc es the overall levy.
Acc ordingly, with the additional local government aid included in the levy calc ulations, staff is now presenting
to the City Counc il a gross tax levy of $20,621,911, whic h inc ludes a levy for general fund operations of
$15,995,394, a debt service levy of $2,910,328, a tax abatement levy of $370,722, an equipment levy of
$785,000, and an E D A levy of $560,467. The gross levy, whic h now includes the E D A levy, now represents a
6.11% increase from the 2017 gross levy.
The final tax levy of $20,621,911 must now be considered and approved by the C ity Council. Taxpayers have
rec eived individual parcel specific tax notices in antic ipation of the truth-in-taxation hearing.
The City of Richfield c onducted and closed its 2017 truth-in-taxation hearing on December 5, 2017. During
the c ourse of the public hearing, there was an opportunity for testimony from the general public . I nformation
was also presented by staff regarding the proposed levy and budget. No official City C ounc il ac tion to act on
the levy was permissible on the day of the public hearing.
I nc luded for your consideration are salary inc reases for non-represented employee pay plans. The proposed
inc reases are 3.00% for the Management, General S ervices, and the Specialized pay plans. The increases
are effective the first full pay period of J anuary 2018.

1. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 720.0 of the Ordinance Code of the City of
Richfield, the rates and charges for City storm sewer service are hereby established to
be those set forth in the following paragraphs of this resolution:
2. The rates and charges for the use and availability of the system are determined through
the use of a “Residential Equivalent Factor” (REF). One REF is defined as the ratio of
the average volume of surface runoff coming from one acre of land and subjected to a
particular use, to the average volume of runoff coming from one acre of land subjected to
typical single-family residential use within the City during a standard one year rainfall
event. The REF’s for the following land uses within the City and the billing classifications
for such land uses are as follows:
LAND USES REF CLASSIFICATION
Cemeteries
.25
1
Parks and railroads .75 2
Two-family residential 1.00 3
Single-family residential 1.00 4
Public and private schools
and institutional uses
1.25
5
Multiple-family residential
uses and churches
3.00
6
Commercial, industrial, and
Warehouse uses
5.00
7
3. The basic system quarterly rate for storm sewer service is $88.90 per acre of land.
$17.78 is the quarterly rate for a single-family residence, which is considered to have an
acreage of one-fifth acre. The charge made against each parcel of land is then
determined by multiplying the REF for the parcel’s land use classification times the
parcel’s acreage times the basic system rate.
STREET LIGHT RATES AND CHARGES FOR 2018
1. Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes, Section 429.101and Section 825
of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield, the rates and charges for City street light
service are hereby established to be those set forth in the following paragraphs of this
resolution:
2. The street light fee for residential single family property is $5.77 per quarter.
3. Rates for other land uses will be determined by land use types based on the following
table:
STREET LIGHT LAND USES:
COM All commercial properties, to include multifamily residents (apartments) and
industrial parcels.
RES All residentially coded parcels.
PUB Public buildings, i.e. City Hall, City Garage, and Fire Stations
CHURCH All Churches also to include cemeteries and activity buildings associated with
a Church
SCH All schools, to include private and public schools.
PRK All parks owned by the City of Richfield, also to include Nature Centers and all
“properties” located within city park parcels
DPLX Addresses that split a residential lot, to include townhomes, 3 -plexes, and 4-

4. The multiplier of “5” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre;
hence multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
5. The multiplier of “1.25” ” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre
and multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
However, the total area of each parcel is not proportional to the number of street lights in
an equivalent residential area so the factor of 5 is reduced by 75%, pr oducing 1.25.
6.5% PENALTY ON PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
1. Customers will have twenty eight (28) days to pay their water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, and street light quarterly bills from the date of the mailing by the City. Any unpaid
amount will be added to the next quarterly bill along with a 6.5% penalty on the
delinquent amount.
2. The penalty charge when billed on past due accounts shall be allocated proportionally
between the City’s water fund, sewer fund, and storm sewer fund based on the user fees
billed for each fund.

Consideration of the approval authorizing a capital improvement to upgrade the municipal liquor stor e
at 6444 Penn Avenue South.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
At the September 6, 2017 City C ounc il/Staff Budget Review, staff presented preliminary renderings prepared
by W old Architec tural of the Penn Avenue liquor store.
The City Manager has disc ussed the need to upgrade the store prior to the budget meeting. The Penn liquor
store was construc ted in the late 1970's and seen no signific ant improvements in the facility for many years.
Many of the mec hanic al c omponents and the roof are bey ond repairs and in need of total replac ement. The
store exterior and interior are outdated as well as deteriorating parking area. Liquor management and the city
building superintendent have assessed and identified the areas in need of replacement or upgrading at the
Penn location.
Roof Replac ement
Concrete sidewalk replacement
Parking area mill and overlay
Exterior wall signage (new graphics)
Exterior pedestal signage with dynamic sign
Addition of five windows
Relocation of customer entrance/exit pneumatic doors
Expansion and installation of product refrigeration (beer cooler)
Restroom and offic e reloc ation
Point of Sale/C ustomer servic e counter relocation
Removal of c arpeting and expose and polish conc rete floors
Expose ceiling and HVA C system components
New LE D sales floor lighting
New product shelving
New product display case
Product demonstration/sampling counter
New outdoor landscape features
I n addition to the work needed on the store, the initiative to upgrade the store is related to added competition
in the area and the positive consumer response to the recent upgrades at two other c ity-owned stores (6444
Ly ndale and 6600 Cedar). Both stores have experienced immediate and continued sales inc reases after the
upgrades.
The estimated cost of the proposed project is $1.2 million and architec tural fees of $48,000. The project
would take plac e in early April with an interruption of business for approximately nine weeks. A newly
refurbished store, c ompleted in late spring of 2018 would ensure strong summer sales and adequate timing to
prepare for key holiday, year-end sales.
As in past upgrade projects, when stores were closed for extended periods, staff marketed Richfield's other
liquor store loc ations prior to c losure with maps and discounts attempting to not lose customers to
competitors.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion: Authoriz e a capital improvement and direct staff to proceed with upgrading the municipal
liquor store at 6444 Penn Avenue South.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
An upgrade to the Penn liquor store has been an ongoing goal with staff due to the age of the
facility and exposure from Penn Avenue. A continuous land (site) search has been c onducted by
Community Development and Liquor Operations staff with minimal suc cess.
An upgrade would ensure customer interest similar to that when the Lyndale and C edar stores
were remodeled.
Expanded retail competition has affected all metro retail beverage outlets, an upgrade will peak
beverage consumers in a new state of the art loc al beverage store. The Penn store has
traditionally been a profitable store regardless of it's size and limited visibility from Penn Avenue.

Consideration of the approval of a resolution r egarding establishing a voluntary advanced resignation
notice pilot pr ogram for regular full-time licensed officers and firefighter s in the Police and Fire
departments with a minimum of ten (10) year s of continuous service with the C ity of Richfield.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City is proposing to re-establish a pilot program for voluntary advanced resignations from licensed
offic ers and firefighters in the Polic e and Fire departments with a minimum of ten (10) y ears of continuous
service with the City of Richfield. This program was initially c reated and exec uted in 2014 as a pilot program
and was successful. D ue to that suc cess, the City would like to re-establish the pilot program at this time in
anticipation of upcoming vacanc ies within the two departments.
This program was designed to improve the efficienc y and stability of the City 's workforce by encouraging
employ ees to give the C ity advanc e notice of their intent to resign. The purpose of this program is to begin
the proc ess of replacing an employee who is leaving the City as soon as possible after notice is rec eived. By
offering a one-time payment to employees who provide the City with an advanc ed resignation notice, the City
hopes to reduc e the time that a position remains unfilled and signific antly reduc e the c osts associated with
addressing staff shortages.
Currently, the proc ess of replac ing a full-time licensed offic er takes a minimum of eight weeks from the
beginning of a rec ruitment to the new employee's actual start date. Once hired, new firefighters require an
additional week for on-the-job training. New polic e offic ers require an additional 14 weeks of on-the-job
training before becoming a viable offic er. The costs assoc iated with this lengthy hiring and training process
range from $7,000 to $15,000 per new hire. I n addition, the c osts of paying overtime costs to fill the
temporary vacanc y can far exc eed the hiring costs. The advanced notice should signific antly reduce such
overtime expenditures.
I n order to qualify for the program, the licensed offic er or firefighter will need to remain an active City
employ ee, in their current job status, until the effec tive date of his/her resignation.
Sinc e this is a pilot program, staff will analyze its suc cess at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020 and return to
the City Counc il with a recommendation on whether it should be c ontinued.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion: Approve a resolution authorizing a voluntary advanced resignation notice pilot program for
regular full-time licensed officers and firefighter s in the Police and Fire depar tments with a minimum of
ten (10) years continuous service with the C ity of Richfield.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
An advanc ed resignation program was piloted in 2014/15. W hile that program was suc cessful the
City determined to let the program sunset until this time.
During the 2014/15 pilot program there were approximately six employees who availed themselves
of this opportunity to resign with advanced notice.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
There is c urrently no City voluntary advanced resignation notice program available to offer City
employ ees. However, the program was in effec t with the City in 2014/15.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
None.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The voluntary advanced resignation notice pilot program proposed is typical to other programs
offered by other governmental subdivisions.
The actual funding from the program would be established through the C ity's General Fund.
One-time payments to eligible employees providing and advanced resignation notice are as
follows:
Sixty (60) days: $500.00
Ninety (90) day s: $1,000.00
One hundred and twenty (120) day s: $1,500.00
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION :
The C ity has the legal authority to provide a one-time voluntary advanc ed resignation notice pilot
program.
The voluntary advanced resignation notice pilot program has been reviewed by the C ity Attorney.

VOLUNTARY ADVANCED RESIGNATION NOTICE
PILOT PROGRAM
Purpose
The City's Voluntary Advanced Resignation Notice Pilot Program is designed to improve
the operational efficiency and stability of the City's workforce by encouraging employees
to give the City advance notice of their intent to resign. The purpose of this program is
to begin the process of replacing an employee who is leaving the City as soon as
possible after notice is received. By offering a one-time payment to employees who
provide the City with an advanced resignation notice, the City hopes to reduce the time
that a position remains unfilled.
This program’s primary purpose will be to serve as a means to minimize the extensive
costs associated with replacing officers in the Public Safety and Fire departments, while
also maintaining the existing service level to the public.
The process of replacing a full-time licensed officer or firefighter takes a minimum of
eight weeks before the new employee’s actual start date. Once hired, new firefighters
require an additional week for on-the-job training. New police officers require an
additional 14 weeks for on-the-job training before they are able to perform on the street.
The costs associated with this lengthy hiring and training process range from $7,000 to
$15,000 per new hire.
Eligibility
This program is available only to regular (non-probationary), full-time licensed police
officers and firefighters in the Public Safety Department and Fire Department with a
minimum of ten (10) years of continuous service with the City of Richfield. In order to
be eligible for an advanced notice payment, an employee must have completed a fully
executed Advanced Resignation Notice Agreement within calendar years 2018 or 2019.
Application and Approval
In order to be eligible for an Advance Notice payment, an employee must give at least
60 calendar days’ notice and up to 120 calendar days’ notice to the employee’s
Department Director before his or her last day of work. For the purposes of this
program, the last day of work is defined as the last day that an employee will actively be
working for the City (not on paid or unpaid leave).
It is the policy and intent for an employee utilizing this pilot program to remain actively
working for the City and not use extended paid or unpaid time off during the 60-120 day
notice period. All use of accrued leave benefits during the 60-120 notice period is
subject to normal processes of approval per the City’s leave policies and the relevant
collective bargaining agreements.
The Advanced Resignation Notice Agreement must be signed by the Employee, the
Department Director, and the City Manager in order to be effective. The City reserves
the right to refuse to enter into this agreement with any employee. For purposes of this
policy, the term day(s) shall mean calendar day(s).
The City will provide the following one-time payment for advance notice:
• Sixty (60) days: $500.00
• Ninety (90) days: $1,000.00
• One Hundred and Twenty (120) days: $1,500.00
Payment will be made on or after the employment termination date. An employee can
elect to have the payment included in their final pay check, subject to taxation and
required deductions, or deposited tax-free into their Post-Employment Health Care
Savings Plan (HCSP).
Once signed, an employee has up to five calendar days to revoke the agreement.
Thereafter, the employee may not rescind his/her agreement without the City’s
agreement to either permit rescission or defer the resignation. Refusing to accept the
Advance Notice payment will not void the agreement. In the event the employee
breaches this Agreement by terminating employment with the City in advance of the
agreed upon resignation date, the employee forfeits all eligibility for any advance
resignation payment. In addition, the employee’s separation from employment may be
considered by the City as “not in good standing” and this determination may be relayed
to the inquiries of the employee’s prospective employers. Breach of the agreement may
also serve as basis for ineligibility from future employment with the City.
Additional Considerations
• Participation in this pilot program is strictly voluntary.
• To accept this offer, you must sign a release agreement acceptable to the City,
which waives your right to pursue any legal claim against the City of Richfield or
its employees or Council Members.
• All payments made are subject to customary payroll deductions.
• All payments contained in this pilot program are supplemental to traditional
benefits of a resigning employee.
• The City reserves the right to decline any employee’s request for the advanced
resignation notice program based on the number of requests received, an
employee’s critical skills, or service delivery needs.
• Employees who resign under this program and are subsequently rehired by the
City, will not be able to participate in this program again.
• The City reserves the right to not replace any employee who resigns under this
program or to modify the position and duties prior to hiring a new employee. This
decision will not affect an employee’s eligibility for an Advance Notice payment.
This pilot program sunsets at the end of calendar year 2019.
Any questions regarding this program may be directed to the Human Resources
Division.
