The Water Fund experienced another good year from a financial
perspective in 1989. Net income for 1989 was $412,295, which was
a 14.6$ decrease from the previous year. It should also be
noted, however, that 1988 was an outstanding year in its own
right. The solid performance in 1989 is due to the usually dry
summer. Water rates were not increased in 1988 or 1989.
At year-end 1989, retained earnings in the Water Fund total
$4,039,800. The retained earnings and available cash in the
Water Utility Fund are necessary to fund capital improvements and
maintenance of the operation. This cushion greatly reduces the
possibility that the City would be required to issue bonds to
make emergency repairs, upgrades or maintenance in the water
utility system. Constant renovations and repairs in the Water
Treatment Plant and the associated City wells are being

The Sanitary Sewer Fund showed net income in 1989 of $129,173.
This is nearly $30,000 below the estimated $158,000 projected in
the 1989 Revised budget. The decrease is tied to increases in
Metropolitan Waste Control rates. Overall, 1989 was another
financially successful year for the Sanitary Sewer Fund.

sewer rates were raised to eliminate the possiblity of ending the
year in a deficit position as occurred in 1989. In addition, in
1989, storm sewer improvements were constructed as identified by

1989 was another exceptionally good year for the Golf Course.
While net income for 1989 was $134,723, as compared to $110,230
in 1988, 1989 is the third straight year of strong net income
showing at the Golf Course. Commencing in 1987 and continuing
into the future, the City will be required to remit a portion of
its net income each year to the Metropolitan Airports Commission
as part of the lease agreement for the Golf Course land.

Year-end revenues for 1989 reached $6,165,192 as compared to the
record $6,375,615 of the previous year. This 1989 year-end
revenue figure al so was, once agai n, the highest total of any
municipal liquor operation in the State of Minnesota.
While sales were at a near record high, surpassing the $6,000,000
mark, the operation also saw a solid gross margin on products
sold. The financial health of the liquor operation remains
strong and in a good position for the future.
Summary
This financial report summary represents the highlights of the
overall financial report for Richfield. Financial reports for
all funds are attached to this letter, including Internal Service
Funds not specially highlighted herein.
A comprehensive review of the 1989 financial operations will be
presented to the City Council once the Auditor's report is
complete.
In general, 1989 was another favorable year for the City's
financial operations. Additions to the City's fund balances will
be very helpful to retain financial stability as the City faces
potential future revenue shortfalls.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 100
Agenda, April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Consideration of first reading of a proposed ordinance to
authorize the City to levy a lodging tax and establish a
Richfield Tourism Promotion Board.
E
•
Background:
The owners •of the Hampton Inn Hotel have requested that the City
consider establishing a Richfield Tourism Promotion Board. The
purpose of the Board would be to provide promotion of Richfield
with emphasis on the use of Richfield hotels and motels. The
activities of the Board would be funded by a portion of a lodging
tax to be levied by the City of Richfield in accordance with the
request of the Hampton Inn Hotel.
Minnesota Statute Section 169.190 authorizes the
tax of up to 6% on the gross receipts of lodging
hotels. Of the taxes received, the law requires
gross proceeds of the first 3% be used for the pi
marketing and promoting the City as a tourist or
center. The remainder of the taxes received may

The owners of Hampton Inn Hotel have requested that.a tax be
levied and used to fund a Richfield Tourism Board. They have
also agreed that the tax should be in the amount of'4% of gross
receipts and the first 3% would be used for the Tourism Promotion
Board. The Hampton Inn proposes that if the tax levied by the
City is 5$, the City would keep 1%.
The principal basis of Hampton Inn's proposal is that a Tourism
Board would assist with the marketing of their hotel and their
advertised rates. At the present time, Richfield hotels
advertise rates which include expenditures for marketing. Many
of these expenditures could be made by a Tourism Promotion Board
of the City using the proceeds of a lodging tax.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the establishment of a Richfield Tourism Promotion Board
and approve the establishment of a 5% lodging tax.
Basis For Recommendation:

Tourism Board to assist with

4. Twenty-five percent of the 5% tax received under this
proposal would go to the General Fund of the City to reduce

5. City Attorney and staff have reviewed the proposals to
establish the Tourism Board, including the bylaws of the
Richfield Tourism Promotion Board, the Articles of
Incorporation, the agreement between the City and the Tourism
Board regarding the expenditure of funds.
6. Establishment of the Tourism Board as outlined would not
provide a burden to City staff or the Council.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City could decline the request of the Hampton Inn Hotel.
2. City Attorney has stated a concern that the Richfield Tourism
Promotion Board could make expenditures with tax dollars
which were not authorized because they do not market or
promote the City as a tourist center.
To address this concern, the City and the Hampton Inn have
developed a proposed contract between the City and the
Tourism Promotion Board which provides that expenditures of
the Board must be in accordance with law and that if the
Tourism Board breaches the agreement, it may be terminated by
the City on ten (10) days notice.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter is presented for general discussion at the Council
meeting on April 9, 1990. If this concept is generally
acceptable of the Council, the matter will be placed on the
agenda for future consideration. The following actions would be
required:
• Approval of the establishment of the Tourism Board.
• Approval of a lodging tax.
• Authorization to execute an agreement between ',the Tourism
Promotion Board and the City of Richfield.
• Appointments to the Tourism Promotion Board.

Chapter, the following terms, phrases and words, and their derivations shall have
the meaning given therein. When not inconsistent with the context, words used in
the present tense include the future, words in the plural number include the

Subd. 5. The term "operator" means a person who provides lodging to others
or any officer, agent or employee of such person.
Subd. 6. The term "person" means any individual, corporation, partnership,
association, estate, receiver, trustee, executor, administrator, assignee, syndicate,

thereof as the case may be.
Subd. 7. The term "rent" means the total consideration valued in money

10
five (5%)
1400.02. Imposition of tax. There is hereby imposed a tax of > w:(4%? percent on
the rent charged by an operator for providing lodging to any person after the
adoption of this ordinance and upon thirty (30) days following its legal publication.
The tax shall be stated and charged separately and shall be collected by the
operator from the lodger. The purpose of the tax must be made known to the
lodger by either inserting the statement "Proceeds from this tax are used to fund a
local convention or tourism bureau" on the lodger's receipt or by posting the
statement at the registration desk where it can be clearly seen by the lodger. The
tax collected by the operator shall be a debt owed by the operator tot he City and
shall be extinguished only by payment to the City. In no case shall the tax imposed
by this section upon an operator exceed the amount of tax which the operator is
authorized and required by this Chapter to collect from a lodger.
1400.03. Collections. Each operator shall collect the tax imposed by this Chapter
at the time the rent is paid. The tax collections shall be deemed to be held in trust
by the operator for the City. The amount of tax shall be separately stated from
the rent charged for the lodging.
1400.04. Exceptions and exemptions. No tax shall be imposed on rent for lodging
paid by any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason
of express provisions of federal law or international treaty. Any exemption shall
be granted to any person as to whom or whose occupancy it is beyond the power of
the City to tax. No exemption shall be granted except upon a claim therefor made
at the time the rent is collected, and such a claim shall be made in writing and
under penalty of perjury on forms provided by the City. Al such claims shall be
forwarded to the City when the returns and collections are submitted as required
by this Chapter.
1400.05. Advertising no tax. It shall be unlawful for any operator to advertise or
hold out or state to the public or any customer, directly or indirectly, that the tax
or any part thereof will be assumed or absorbed by the operator, or that it will not
be added to the rent or that, if added, it or any part thereof will be refunded. In
computing the tax to be collected, amounts of tax less than one cent shall be
considered an additional cent.
1400.06. Payment and returns. The taxes imposed by this Chapter shall be paid by
the operator to the City monthly not later than 25 days after the end of the month
in which the taxes were collected. At the time of payment the operator shall
submit a return upon such form and containing such information as the director
may require. The return shall contain the following minimum information.
1. The total amount of rent collected for lodging during the period
covered by the return.
2. The amount of tax required to be collected and due for the period.
3. The signature of the person filing the return or that of his agent duly
authorized in writing.
4. The period covered by the return.
0
5. The amount of uncollectable rental charges subject to the lodging
tax.
The operator may offset against the taxes payable with respect to any
reporting period, the amount of taxes imposed by this Chapter previously paid as
result of any transaction the consideration for which became uncollectable during
such reporting period, but only in proportion to the portion of such consideration
which became uncollectable.
1400.07. Examination of returns, adjustments, notices and demands. The director
may rely upon the Minnesota sales return filed by the operator with the state of
Minnesota in determining the accuracy of a return filed under this ordinance.
However, the director shall be authorized to make any investigation or examination
of the records and accounts of the person making the return if the director
reasonably determines that such steps are necessary for determining the
correctness of the return. The tax computed on the basis of such examination shall
be the tax to be paid. If the tax due is found to be greater than that paid, such
excess shall be paid to the City within ten (10) days after receipt of a notice
thereof, given either personally or sent by registered mail to the address shown on
the return. If the tax paid is greater than the tax found to be due, the excess shall
be refunded to the person who paid the tax to the City within ten (10) days after
determination of such refund.
1400.08. Refunds. Any person may apply to the director for a refund of taxes paid
for a prescribed period in excess of the amount legally due for that period,
provided that no application for refund shall be considered unless filed within one
year after such tax was paid, or within one year from the filing of the return,
whichever period is the longer. The director shall examine the claim and make and
file written findings thereon denying or allowing the claim in whole or in part and
shall mail a notice thereof by registered mail to such person at the address stated
upon the return. If such claim is allowed in whole or in part, the director shall
credit the amount of the allowance against any taxes due under this Chapter from
the claimant and the balance of said allowance, if any, shall be paid by the director
to the claimant.
1400.09. Failure to file a return. Subdivision 1. If any operator required by this
Chapter to file a return shall fail to do so within the time prescribed, or shall
make, willfully or otherwise, an incorrect false, or fraudulent return, the operator
shall, upon written notice and demand, file such return or corrected return within
five (5) days of receipt of such written notice and shall at the same time pay any
tax due on the basis thereof. If such person shall fail to file such return or
corrected return, the director shall make a return or corrected return, for such
person from such knowledge and information as the director can obtain, and assess
a tax on the basis thereof, which tax (less any payments theretofore made on
account of the tax for the taxable period covered by such return) shall be paid upon
within five (5) days of the receipt of written notice and demand for such payment.
Any such return or assessment made by the director shall be prima facie correct
and valid, and such person shall have the burden of establishing its incorrectness or
invalidity in any action or proceeding in respect thereto.
Subd. 2. If any portion of a tax imposed by this Chapter, including penalties
thereon, is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is required to be paid, the City

Council Letter No. 99
Agenda, April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Public hearing on a request for an amendment to the planned unit
development for the Hub Shopping Center.
Background:
Bradley Real Estate Trust, owner of the Hub Shopping Center,
received approval of a planned unit development plan and a
conditional use permit for the center on September 26, 1988.
The amendment proposal is to include an electronic readerboard at
66th Street and Nicollet Avenue South and a tenant signage pylon
sign on 66th Street at the main center entrance. The property is
within the LHN Redevelopment Area and is zoned PC-2, planned
general commercial.
Recommendation:
Approve the amendment to the PUD plan with the following
stipulation:
That the landscape plan implementing the "Energizing 66th
Street" plan be approved by staff.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Planning Commission has reviewed and recommends
approval of the amendment.
2. The proposal does not substantially change the aesthetics
of the center. The replacement pylon sign will be smaller
-- than the existing sign and will be constructed of materials
consistent with other signage at the Hub Center. The
existing Hub sign at the corner of 66th Street and Nicollet
Avenue will be reskinned and be fitted with an electronic
readerboard. This sign will also be consistentlwith the
design of the Hub Center.
3. The Sign Ordinance requires that more than half of the
time that the readerboard is in operation must be devoted to
"public service information including time, date,
temperature, weather and public events." Applicant is aware
of this requirement.
4. A meeting was held with the applicant and city's consultant
on the 66th Street plan. The applicant indicated intention
to help implement the plan. The landscape techniques
suggested for this area include some transplanting of
existing trees to the boulevard area and moorheim blue
spruce to create a back drop for flowering annual plantings.
In addition, a row of hedges is suggested to help
screen the cars yet allow the Hub Shopping Center to be
clearly viewed. This would be a major starting point in
giving a sense of place to 66th Street and introducing a
sense of cohesiveness along the corridor.
-;6f /& - I
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council may deny the PUD amendment if a finding of fact
determines that the amendment would have an adverse impact on the
surrounding properties.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m, on, April 9, 1990.
The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of
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. 98
Agenda, April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Public hearing on a request for a conditional use permit to allow
a retail glass replacement and repair company in an existing
structure at 1201 East 66th Street.
Background:
City Auto Glass has requested a
East 66th Street. The existing
would be utilized for a retail
company. City Auto Glass would
mobile repair van as well as at
conditional use permit for 1201
service station type building
auto glass replacement and repair
service their customers from a
this site.
The site is located in a C-2, general commercial zoning district.
An auto related operation of this type is a permitted use with a
conditional use permit.
Recommendation:
Approve the conditional use permit request with the follow
stipulations:
1. That three of the four driveways be eliminated with the
southwest driveway remaining.
2. That the remaining driveway be widened to no less than 26'-
0" and no more than 321-0".
3. That one handicapped parking space and a ramp be provided for
access for handicapped individuals.
4. That a landscape plan as part of the Energizing 66th
Street plan be approved by staff.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommends
approval with closure of the two driveways closest to the
intersection. A City Ordinance precludes a driveway within
40 feet of an intersection because of safety concerns. The
owner of the property requested _a driveway onto 66th Street
so that after the expiration of the lease with City Auto
Glass, there would be a driveway available for truck access
for his sign painting business.
2. A meeting was held with the owner and the City's consultant
on the 66th Street plan. The consultant stated,that this
location was important in helping to give a sense of place
and cohesiveness to the 66th Street corridor. He suggested
pollarded silver maples 25 foot on center as well as
deciduous and evergreen hedges to screen cars which would
not impede corner visibility. This can only be
accomplished by closing both driveways on 66th Street.
There is no agreement between the owner and the City on
the closure of both driveways on 66th Street, the
landscaping, or the submission of a cash escrow or other
security to ensure that improvements will take place.
(-? - /
3. A City Ordinance requires a driveway to be no less than
26 feet nor more than 32 feet in width. None of the
existing driveways meet this requirement.
4. There is ample parking available for the two or three
employees and the anticipated need (six) for customer spaces.
At least one handicapped parking space with ramp access to
the commercial building is required by the off-street
parking provisions.
5. Repairs are normally made while the customer waits and
hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council may recommend denial of the conditional use
permit if a finding of fact determines that the conditional
use permit would have an adverse impact on the surrounding
properties.
2. The City Council may recommend denial of the conditional
use permit if any of the stipulations cannot be met.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on, April 9, 1990.
The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of
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.

Council Letter No. 97
Agenda, April 9, 1990

Background:
The,City Council approved an amended conditional use permit on
September 12, 1988 and conditioned that approval, in item 2, on
the removal of the three billboard type signs "within one year".
This condition was subsequently reconfirmed on January 8, 1990.
The billboards have not been removed.
A notice of violation was sent to Walser with a demand that such
violation be remedied within ten days. The signs have not been
removed.
Pursuant to ordinance, it was referred to the City Manager who
concurred that a hearing be held and that such hearing be
scheduled for March 26, 1990.
The City Council granted a continuance to April 9, 1990 at the
request of Peter K. Beck, attorney for Walser.
Walser Attorney has sent a letter to the City stating that the
City's requirement to remove the signs violate a State Statute.
The Statute referenced requires compensation for removal of
certain signs.
Recommendation:
The City Attorney be directed to seek a declaratory judgement on
this issue.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The conditional use permit amended September 12, 1988 was
conditioned on the removal of the three billboard type
signs "within one year".

Item #5 CONTINUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING ON AN'AMENDMENT TO
THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR WALSER BUICK FACILITY AT
2100 WEST 78TH STREET AND 7745 PENN AVENUE. C.L. 215
City Manager Prosser reviewed Council Letter No. 215
regarding an amendment to the conditional use permit for the
Walser Buick Facility at 2100 West 78th Street and 7745 Penn
Avenue.
Peter Beck, 7900 Xerxes Ave. So., representing' Walser Buick,
summarized the improvements made to the Walser facility in
compliance with past city approved upgrades to the Walser
business and good faith compliance with the condition stipulated
by the City.
Council Meeting Minutes -4- September 12, 1988
Mr. Beck described the new proposal for the Walser
facilities. He indicated that the building size is smaller than
what was previously approved in July. Mr. Beck further stated
the use would be less intense and provide for better traffic
flow.
Mr. Beck said that Walser would remove the time and
temperature sign, however, the other signs on the property are
seen as important for screening. Walser asked the Council to
allow them to keep those signs.
Mayor Quam asked if the parking inventory area has the
potential for greater inventory because of no marking.
Mr. Beck responded that overall there was no increase.
City Manager Prosser asked if the main purpose of the three
billboard signs was advertising.
Mr. Beck responded that screening is the primary reason.
City Manager Prosser asked if Walser would be willing to use
another screening device and remove the billboards.
Mr. Beck did not agree to do so.
City Manager Prosser stated that stipulations for parking
for Walser Mazda were not adhered to and Walser has received a
notice of noncompliance. He questioned whether Walser can now
live with the new stipulation.
Mr. Beck responded that once Walser management received the
notice, they began working on rectifying of the problem. All
other stipulations have been adhered to. ,
Council Member Sandahl said that with respect 'to billboard
signs, he was concerned that the elimination of the billboard
sign will create a greater screening 1 problem.
City Manager Prosser said that the only real value of the
billboards is for advertising. The billboards are very
ineffective as screening.
Council Member Ludeman commended Walser for their project.
He stated that parking on 77th Street by employees continues.
Mayor Quam asked what the height was of the current
screening fence.
City Manager Prosser described the screening and landscaping
currently on the site and what was needed to provide appropriate
screening.
Council Member Kirsch asked if the lights are the same as
the Mazda facility.
Council Meeting Minutes -5- September 12, 1988
Mr. Beck responded yes; tall and short lights will be gone.
Mayor Quam read a letter (Clerks File No. C-300) into the
record from Lois Lovdal, 7644 Newton Avenue, supporting Walser
Buick as long as traffic did not get worse.
Lorraine Guthe, 7634 Oliver Avenue, spoke in opposition to
the Walser improvements requested, citing parking as a major
concern.
Loren Law, 7220 York Avenue South, owns a piece of property
adjacent to the Walser property. He spoke in support of the
Walser proposal. He suggested that staff should check the
property between 77th and 78th Morgan on east side of the street.
M/Ludeman, S/Kirsch to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
Council Member Garcia summarized the letters received
concerning the proposal, most being in opposition. She indicated
Walser's track record is not a good one with respect to complying
with provisions of conditional use permits.
M/Garcia to deny the conditional use permit for Walser
Buick.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Council Member Ludeman stated his support for the
improvement with the removal of three billboard signs. He
questioned how the billboard issue could be resolved.
Council Member Kirsch questioned if no action is taken
tonight, would we be back to the current conditional use permit.
City manager Prosser stated he would have to check how long
that permit lasts and indicated that there are some violations.
He stated the signs would have to conform in 10 years.
Community Development Director Wallace stated under previous
approval existing signs would be allowed.
City Attorney Dean stated a conditional use permit lapses
unless actual use commences within one year of issuance. There
is the possibility that if the council denies the request, the
current Conditional Use Permit could lapse.
Council Member Kirsch indicated if the council approves the
request, the city is in a better position to address problems
such as signs.

Council Meeting Minutes
-8- January 8, 1990
Council Member Ludeman suggested that the requirement for
removal of the billboards imposed in September, 1989 be
reconsidered. He stated that the sign ordinance will require
removal in seven years and he supported allowing the billboards
to remain until then.
City Attorney Dean reviewed the provisions of the sign
ordinance as it applies to the elimination of such billboards.
Peter Beck, attorney representing Walser Buick, reviewed the
proposed amendments. He indicated that the applicant could not
meet the 30 day stipulation for designation of the parking spaces
until spring weather would permit painting. He reviewed the
history of the development of the site. He asked that the
billboards be allowed to remain. He indicated that they provided
noise and light screening, carried utilities, and provided a
divider between inventory and service cars.
He stated that Henry Reget, owner of 2101-2121 West 77th
Street, had submitted a letter (Clerks File No. C-310) in support
of Walser's request to keep the billboards.
James Bergin, 7627 Oliver Avenue, spoke in opposition to
allowing Walser change the conditions and keep the billboards.
City Manager Prosser indicated that the City must work with
businesses and the neighborhood on this type of issue. He stated
Walser received their conditional use permit to expand with •
stipulations and now want to eliminate a stipulation. He stated
that noise experts from MnDot and David Braslau Associates
indicate the wall does not provide any buffer. He indicated that
the neighborhood has been frustrated that Walser has not always
met stipulations or done as they promised.
Mayor Quam reviewed a letter from Robert E. Guthe, 7634
Oliver Avenue (Clerks File No. C-309), asking that Walser comply,
with the condition of their conditional use permit by removing
the billboards. Mayor Quam stated this was a City issue. He
stated Walser was issued the permit with the stipulation that the
billboards be removed and should honor their commitment. He
stated that he does not support waiting 7 more years to eliminate
the billboards.
Council Member Garcia stated that Walser should not be
allowed to go back on their commitment.
Council Member Ludeman noted other stipulations had been met
and the neighborhood parking problem had been resolved. He
stated he had reservations about requiring one dealer to remove
these type of billboards when another dealers remained

This letter will constitute Walser Corporation's formal response to
= the notice of non-compliance (copy enclosed) which Mark Hammerstrom
has received from Sivert Hendrickson with respect to the 'three
billboards on the Walser Buick site.
As you know, Walser Corporation (Walser) recently applied for an
amendment to the Conditional Use Permit for the Walser Buick site.
Included in this application was a request to delete the condition of
approval requiring the three billboards on the Buick site to be
removed. This request was denied by'the City Council on a 3-2 vote at
its January 8, 1990 meeting. All other requested amendments to the
Conditional Use Permit were approved.
The requirement that the billboards be removed first surfaced during
City Council consideration of Walser's September 1988 amendment to the
Conditional Use Permit for the Buick dealership. This was after the
City had twice approved, in 1986 and early 1988, a Conditional Use
Permit for the Buick site with no mention of removal of the
billboards. In fact, the 1986 approval exempts existing signs from
the requirement of complying with the City's sign ordinance. The
requirement for removal of the signs was an eleventh hour addition to
the list of conditions for approval of the September 1988 amendment to
he Conditional Use Permit. Walser did not agree to this condition at
_!Y ? -ice
LARRi,,, HOFFMAN, DAL1 & LINDGRE_, LTD.
John Dean, Esq.
February 12, 1990
paqtz 2
the time and has not agreed to it at any time since. The Minutes of
the City's September 12, 1988 meeting confirm this.
Walser has requested that the condition requiring removal of the
billboards be deleted for a number of reasons, including:
1. The three billboards in question are vitally important to the
ability of Walser Buick to operate its business. The
billboards form a backdrop for the new car display areas on
the Buick site. They make the entire dealership
significantly more visible by attracting attention to the
Buick building and the display cars. Their importance has
been significantly magnified because the City has required
removal, as a condition of Walser Buick's Conditional Use
Permit, of the former "time/temperature sign" and virtually
all other attention-getting devices.
The billboards in question are similar to but smaller than a
series of billboards located on the Wally McCarthy Oldsmobile
site to the east of Walser Buick. The McCarthy dealership
also has numerous other banners, pennants, signs and other
attention-getting devices. It is very difficult for Walser
Buick to compete with this circus. In Walser's opinion
removal of the remaining three billboards from its site would
make it all but impossible for Walser to compete with Wally
McCarthy Oldsmobile in attracting potential automobile buyers
onto the property.
2. The cost of removing the billboards would be prohibitively
expensive. It would cost tens of thousands of dollars to
remove the three billboards from the Walser site and relocate
underground the utility wires which are supported by these
billboards. In addition to these costs, the automobile sales
lost as a result of removal of these billboards'makes it
impossible for Walser to agree to take them down.
3. They are irreplaceable as advertising and attention-getting
devices. If the three billboards were removed, current City
Ordinance would not allow their replacement with similar
structures, or any structures or devices which could play the
same role as an advertising, attention-getting and backdrop
device.
4. The only directly affected property owner supports the
billboards. The only property directly affected by the
billboards in question is the apartment building located at
2101-2121 West 77th Street. The owner of this property, Mr.
-Z ?
LARhI?, HOFFMA\; DALY &- LIN-DGR€\, LTD.
John Dean, Esq.
February 12, 1990
Page 3
Henry C. Reget, has written the Council to request that the
signs be maintained to screen views of the Walser lot and to
reduce the noise and lights of the freeway for his tenants.
5. The Planning Commission supports allowing the billboards to
remain.
These reasons seemed compelling enough and Walser was very hopeful
that the City Council would drop the requirement that the billboards
be removed as a condition of approval of the Amended Conditional Use
Permit. However, that was not the case.
Following the January 8, 1990 City Council meeting Walser instructed
me to research further its legal right to maintain these billboards on
the Buick-site, because of Walser's conviction that they cannot
compete effectively with Wally McCarthy Oldsmobile without the
billboards. My research has led me to Minnesota Statutes Section
173.17(4), which reads, in part, as follows:
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
including Section 173.20, no advertising device which was
lawfully erected shall be removed until all rights in the
property, personal or real, have been acquired by purchase,
gift, or eminent domain proceedings under Chapter 117,
whether or not the advertising device is removed pursuant to
this chapter or any other statute, ordinance, or regulation
of any political subdivision of the state or local zoning
authority.
Advertising device is defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 173.02,
Subd. 2 as follows:
"Advertising device" means any billboard, sign, notice, poster,
display, or other device visible to and primarily intended to
advertise and inform or to attract or which does attract the
attention of operators and occupants of motor vehicles and shall
include any structure erected primarily for use in connection with
the display of any such device and all lighting or other
attachments used in connection therewith except "Star City" signs
erected under Section 173.085.
It has always been agreed by all parties that the three billboards in
question were lawfully erected prior to adoption of the City's sign
ordinance. This being the case, the statute set forth above prohibits
the City of Richfield from requiring removal of the billboards
pursuant to its zoning ordinance until all rights in the property have
`peen acquired by purchase, gift or eminent domain proceedings.

Therefore, the billboards will not be removed and we would appreciate
your advising Mr. Hendrickson and other affected City officials that
the condition requiring their removal is unlawful and unenforceable.
During the course of researching this issue further I came across the
enclosed memorandum from Desyl Peterson in one of our files from the
City of Minnetonka. As you can see, Desyl also interprets the
language of this statute as prohibiting cities from making removal of
a billboard a requirement for a development approval.
During the period of time that this firm has represented Walser we
have worked hard with Walser and the City to avoid a legal
confrontation and to comply with all reasonable City requirements for
the Mazda and Buick dealerships. Walser has agreed to and has
complied with all other conditions imposed by the City Council on the
issuance of its original and amended Conditional Use Permits for the
Buick and Mazda sites, including a number which impose substantial
burdens on the dealerships. However, Walser has not and cannot agree
to removal of the billboards, because of the severe impact which this
would have on its ability to operate its business. We hope that the
positive attitude towards Walser which has emerged as the dealerships
"lave been remodeled and employee parking has moved on site will
Ocontinue notwithstanding this disagreement with respect to the
billboards.

Chapter 173 of the Minnesota Statutes requires that compensation

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Dear Mr. Hammerstrom:
It has been brought to my attention that the Walser Corporation
is in apparent violation of a condition of the Conditional Use
Permit granted to Walser for the Buick site located at 2100 W.
78th Street in Richfield.
I have reviewed the conditions under which the Conditional Use
Permit was granted and I have made an onsite inspection of the
property.
The Conditional Use Permit that was approved on September 12,
1988 by the City Council, conditioned that approval, in item 2,
on the removal of the three billboard type signs "within one
year". The time has expired and those signs are still in place.
The remedial action which you must take to achieve compliance
with the terms and conditions of the Conditional Use Permit is
the removal of the three billboard type signs. The ',signs must be
removed within ten days of receipt of this notice or I, as
Director of Community Development, will request the 'City Council
to consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter, please
contact me.

Re: Walser Buick
Dear Mr. Wallace:
This letter will constitute Walser Corporation's response to the
March 1, 1990 Notice of Violation which Mark Hammerstrom has received
from you with respect to the three billboards on the Walser Buick
site.
Enclosed please find my letter of February 12, 1990 to the City
Attorney responding to Sivert Hendrickson's January 18, 1990 Notice of
Non-Compliance. As pointed in out in our February 12, 1990 letter,
state law prohibits cities from making removal of billboards a
requirement for development approval. Accordingly, the condition in
Walser Buick's Conditional Use Permit requiring removal of the three
billboard type signs is unlawful and unenforceable.
As you know, Walser Buick has worked long and hard with you, your
staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council to improve the
Walser Buick and Mazda Dealerships and to comply with all requested
conditions. However, for the reasons set forth in our letter of
February 12, 1990, Walser simply cannot agree to forego its legal
right to keep the three billboards. Removal of the billboards would
have a severe impact on Walser's ability to operate its business and
on its ability to compete with adjacent automobile dealerships.

We sincerely hope that this position will not adversely affect the
good relations which Walser has enjoyed with you and your staff over
the past few years, and we look forward to working with you and your
staff in the future on issues of common interest such as the final
parking plan for Walser Buick, the proposed traffic diverter at West
77th Street and Morgan Avenue South, etc.

SUBJECT: Walser Buick Notice of Violation and
Failure to Comply
A notice of violation, pursuant to Section 545.09, Subd. 7(b),
was mailed to Walser Automotive and received by them on March 5,
1990. The violation particularized in the notice is as follows:
The Conditional Use Permit that was approved on
September 12, 1988 by the City Council, conditioned
that approval, in item 2, on the removal of the three
billboard type signs "within one year". The time has
expired and those signs are still in place.
Walser was given ten days to remedy the violation and the ten
days have expired. I have again reviewed the property and the
violation has not been remedied. In addition, I received a
letter from Peter Beck, the attorney representing Walser
Corppration, stating their position that they have a "legal right
to keep the three billboards".
I am recommending to you as City Manager, pursuant to Section

Re: Walser Buick
Dear Byron:
I have received today, March 19, 1990, a "public hearing not ice"
addressed to Mark Hammerstrom at Walser Automotive advising of a
hearing before the Richfield City Council on March 26, 1990 to
consider revocation of the Conditional Use Permit for Walser Buick.
The stated ground for revocation is failure to remove three billboard
type signs from the Buick site.
Enclosed are letters from myself to the City Attorney dated
February 12, 1990 and to you dated March 5, 1990 pointing out that it
is unlawful under Minnesota state law to condition a land use approval
on the removal of an advertising device. Revocation of the Walser
Buick Conditional Use Permit for failure to remove the three billboard
signs on the property would be in direct violation of this state
statute. If and when the City Attorney is consulted, I am sure he
will agree that this is the case.
Nevertheless, we will be happy to meet with the City Council to
explain the impact of this state law on the situation and to discuss
the importance of these signs to Walser's business. Unfortunately,
however, I have a long-standing commitment to be out of town from
March 23 to April 1, 1990. The principals at Walser, including Mike
Shrank and Mark Hammerstrom, will also be out of town at a seminar on
March 26, 1990. We would appreciate it very much if this hearing
Sl P-
Ile
LARHIN, BOFFMA\, DALY L1 IANDOREN, I.TI)

could be continued from March 26, 1990 to sometime on or after
April 2, 1990. This would also give us and the City Council an
opportunity to review the staff report and prepare for the hearing
before the City Council. Even if we were not out of town, seven days
notice of the hearing and one business day to review the staff report
is an awfully short period of time to prepare for a hearing which
could potentially put Walser Buick out of business.
Please let me know as soon as possible if the hearing will be
continued, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Dear Mr. Wallace.
I own property within 350 feet of Walser Buick and I received
a letter about the conditional use permit used by Wlser Buick.
There was a hearing to be held on Monday March 26, 1990 and now
changed until April 9, 1990 for the convience of Walser Buick.
I had planned to appear in person on the 26th to voice my
opinion about removing the signs at Walser Buick.
Let us be realistic about this!!! Walser Buick was told that
on September 12, 1989 there had to remove three signs on their
property. This time has come and gone. In fact several months
have gone by and both Walser and the City of Richfield have
taken no action.
0 Walser Buick has been given enough breaks! There should be no
extension for those signs to remain up. Buick was ordered to
take them down and they should be taken down. Or the, City of
Richfield should take them down for Walser and charge Walser for
the cost of taking them down.
Walser violated the Conditional Use Permit. They must be made to
comply and they must be told to take down . Walser Buick is not
above and beyond the law. Just bU use they got a staff of lawye
rs to get continuances should theyAbe allowed to break the law.
Every resident of Richfield and those people that have any
connection with Richfield have to obey the laws of Richfield.
If we don't, we must pay in some way. Walser Buick is no and I
mean no exception. Walser Buick must be made to comply with
the law and that means taking those signs down.
Another point is if you look at those signs,more than 60% of the
time they are not used. The eyesore should be taken down.
Again Walser Buick has broken the law, has had plenty of time to
correct their problem, took no action and should now comply with
the law and remove those signs.
incerely,

Dear Mr. Prosser:
When we attended the last City Council meeting which
discussed the revocation of a conditional use permit for
Walser Buick we thought it was settled that the Council
would enforce the removal of the billboard signs on
Walser Buick property. We assumed this matter would
finally be resolved by the Council as it is a city matter.
We will be out of town April 9th, the new date requested
by the Walser attorney. We feel that sufficient time and
money has been spent on Walser issues but if it is necessary
to bring legal action against Walser Buick we would be in
favor of this action.
Time and money can better be spent on new projects that
Richfield is considering for improvement of our city.

Council Letter No. 93
Agenda April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Purchase in excess of $5,000 for one Groutmaster Mini Pump for
use in storm sewer catchbasin-and manhole repair.
Background:
The City Council policy resolution on purchasing provides that
when the purchase of merchandise, materials, equipment or
construction exceeds the amount of $5,000, authority to purchase
shall be submitted to the City Council for consideration.
The Groutmaster Mini Pump would allow us to pump concrete into
voids in catchbasins and manholes, thus stabilizing the street
and also seal the catchbasins and manholes. In the past these
repairs have involved major excavation.
Two vendors were contacted and proposals were received from two
manufacturers'for the Groutmaster Pump:
Boundary Waters Drilling Supply $8,225
E.H. Renner & Sons $8,600
Recommended Motion:
Approve a 1990 Purchase Order to Boundary Waters Drilling Supply
for one Groutmaster Mini Pump for an estimated total purchase
price of $8,225.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. This pump would allow us to pump concrete into the voids
around the catchbasins and manholes without the major
excavation, as in the past.
2. Boundary Waters Drilling Supply submitted the lowest
quotation.
3. There is $12,000 in the 1990 Storm Sewer budget for the
purchase.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose not to accept any of the quotations and
instruct staff to obtain new quotes. However, staff does not
believe better prices can be obtained at this time.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Staff requests approval at the April 9, 1990 Council meeting.

Council Letter No. 94
Agenda April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Award of Contract for City Hall Space Utilization Study.
Background:
The adopted 1990 Capital Budget includes $10,000 for a City Hall
Space Utilization Study. Consulting services were sought for a
needs assessment to determine the size and type of facility or
facilities needed to handle the operations currently housed at.
City Hall. Potential consultants were also informed the
assessment may also need to consider possible operations,
services and/or needs of the future. Of the 47 firms receiving
the Request for Proposals, 18 firms submitted proposals. These
proposals were reviewed by the City Manager and Department
Directors. Six firms were selected for interviews'. References
were contacted for two firms. These reference checks included
visiting sites of similar work performed by the firm.
Boarman and Associates has a wide range of experience working on
similar studies with municipal governments. They propose to do a
needs assessment, a schematic analysis and to look at cost
impacts. The work is anticipated to be completed within 90 days.
Boarman and Associates would be compensated on an hourly basis
with a "not to exceed" $10,000 maximum.
Recommended Motion:
Award a contract, not to exceed $10,000, to Boarman and
Associates for consulting services related to a City Hall Space
Utilization Study.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Expansion of both the size and number of departments using
City Hall, and the amount of equipment and other materials
housed there, has resulted in a facility not presently
meeting our indoor or outdoor needs.
2. The most effective approach to solving space utilization
problems at City Hall is to look at the total situation and
propose the logical system of problem correction.
3. It is the opinion of staff that, based on the proposals.
received and information gathered, Boarman and Associates is
the firm best suited to the study.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not conduct a City Hall Space Utilization Study.
2. Select a different consulting firm to conduct the City Hall
Space Utilization Study.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the April 9, 1990 City Council
meeting. The Council need not take action at this time but the
sooner the contract is awarded, the sooner the work may begin and
the study completed. There should be some consideration given to
completion of the study prior to budget preparation for 1991.

Council Letter No. 95
April 9, 1990 Agenda
Issue Statement:
Approval of the•request for funding from the 1990 Urban Hennepin
County CDBG Discretionary account.
Background:
Hennepin County has provided the opportunity for all Urban
Hennepin County Cooperating Units to request funding from the
County-wide Discretionary Account.
The 1990 Discretionary Account contains $158,251.
A local public hearing is not required for the application of
these funds. However, Council approval is necessary.
Richfield proposes to request $60,000 from this account to serve
the 21 rehabilitation loan applicants who are currently on a
waiting list with the HRA.
Recommendation:
Approve the request of $60,000 from the 1990 Urban Hennepin
County CDBG Discretionary Account for the Rehabilitation Deferred
Loan project.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners established the
following program priorities for the allocation of 1990
s discretionary funds.
a. The development of new owner/renter housing affordable
to low-and moderate-income families and handicapped
persons.
b. The rehabilitation of existing rental and single-family
dwellings.
c. The development of transitional housing facilities for
persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
d. The maintenance and preservation of viable neighborhoods.
e. The removal of material and architectural barriers
which restrict the mobility and accessibility of
handicapped persons to public facilities and housing.
2. Currently there are 21 homeowners awaiting the availability
of funding for rehabilitation loans. Three of these
applicants have emergency requests. The $60,000 will
provide approximately nine homeowners with needed assistance.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Change the amount of funds requested from the 1990
Discretionary Account.
2. Fund other eligible projects which have not been identified
by staff.
7 e,
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Requests to Hennepin County for 1990 Discretionary funds must be
received no later than May 1, 1990.

RATIONALE FOR FUNDING REHABILITATION DEFERRED LOAN PROJECT
The Deferred Loan Program provides the following:
1. Virtually the only means for low income homeowners to fund
major improvements.
The average age of Richfield homes is 35 to 45 years. At
this age, major improvements are needed; furnace replacement,
electrical update, roof replacement, window and siding
update. Weatherization and handicapped accessibility
improvements are also funded by this program.
2. There are 21 homeowners currently waiting for assistance.
The YR XVI request for $68,236 will only fund approximately
11 of those waiting homeowners. This application for
$60,000, is needed to fund the remaining 10 homeowners.
Many of them have been waiting for assistance for more than a
year.
The 21 homeowners currently waiting do not yet 'reflect
the requests usually received in the spring. There are an
estimated 1,800 lower income homeowners who need deferred
loan assistance.
3. Funds are needed for potential emergency situations.
Three applicants are currently waiting for emergency
assistance. Discretionary funds would be used to fund these
applicants.
4. Deferred loans provide for household stability and
independent living.
Having deferred loans available to elderly home owners often
makes it possible for them to continue to live independently.
The availability of deferred loans to families helps them
resolve seemingly impossible situations which threaten
their stability.

From: Casey Thompson, Roger Rude
Greatapes
Re: RFP Video Production Services
Thank you for the opportunity to bid on the "Development Options Through
Interaction" Video Project. Greatapes is uniquely qualified to produce these
programs because of its vast experience in production of policy issue videos and
also because of its overall creative and technical capabilities.
Greatapes has been in business since 1975. From its inception, Greatapes has
dedicated its staff and resources toward the development of audio/video
programs for corporate or public use that - "Make A Difference." Programs that
help "Make A Difference" for a privately held company, for education, for
0 government. Programs that help sell, educate and train - people.
This philosophy helps Greatapes attract and maintain a diverse client base - from
the Advance Machine Corporation to the University of Minnesota -'clients who
view Greatapes as a production company that help them "Make A Difference" in
their private or public world.
The following is a budget and proposal breakdown per the committees request:
ITEM al Gods and Objectives
x Illustrate why an interactive planning process is beneficial to the equitable
development of the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.
Explain some of the economic, social, environmental & geographic implications.
related to the development of a new airport.
Show why the concept, site acquisition and construction of a new airport is 15-
20 years and 2-3 billion dollars away.
s Explore some of the livability issues through residential opinion regarding air
traffic noise, site accessibility and service availability of the existing site.

Raise the question "what if? "What if" we look at modifying the present
airport location. Is this a viable option for the next 15-20 years and beyond.
s Identify some of the key players in the airport development Process ( MAC,
Met Council, MNDot, Mpls, St. Paul) and what their relative positions are for
airport development (i.e. two-track etc.)
Highlight some development options now available that can cost effectively
accomodate and mitigate the present and future needs of Minneapolis, St Paul,

DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS THROUGH INTERACTION
VIDEO TREATMENT
Program Alternatives
While this video treatment follows a certain format, style and
theme, we are also proposing an alternative approach to the
program which would be similar in objectives and content, but
which would allow for more depth of the issues involved, and
employ more state-of-the-art video production and post-production
techniques. The first program (9 to 12 minutes in length) would
emphasize sections from location interviews and a minimal amount
of static graphics. The second program (15 to 18 minutes in
length) would allow for a wide variation of interviews,
computerized animated graphics, digital video effects and aerial
footage. The cost difference of the two types of programs is
reflected in the enclosed program budgets.
Program Obiectives
First, to create for the various audiences a more definitive
awareness of the development options available concerning the
future of the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, the
future of the region in question west of the current airport and
the communities adjacent to the airport.
Second, to make those audiences aware of the existing and
potential interaction between communities and agencies who are
stakeholders in those issues in planning, refining and eventual
decision-making concerning those development options.
a
Program Tone
Objective, honest, straight forward, non-threatening' and
non-confrontational.
Program Open
The program would open with a rapid visual montage of the various
locations being addressed (New Ford Town, the airport, Rich
Acres, Interstate 494, Cedar Avenue, Crosstown Highway), and
aerial shots of the surrounding communities (Mendota Heights,
Eagan, Bloomington, Minneapolis and St. Paul), and would be
interspersed with short comments from local residents concerning
their current awareness of the airport and surrounding area as it
relates to themselves, their homes, businesses or their community
in general.
0
_# 7-b '5-
2
Program Approach
By means of graphics and short interview segments from community
and agency representatives, the Two-Track Plan would be briefly
outlined following the program open. General shots of airport
activity and the area surrounding the airport would be used to
supplement this section. While it will be pointed out that the
feasibility of the Track II/new airport concept is some time away
and the costs of such a plan quite high, the focus will then turn
to the fact that local communities and agencies have an
opportunity to develop an interactive approach to evaluate the
plausible options, options which fall under Track I--"working to
improve the current Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport".
Using aerial shots of the specified area, short interview
selections from the various players involved (community and
agency representatives as well as local residents), and various
graphics, those options would be briefly highlighted, stressing
the importance of interaction related to the prioritizing of
those options which include:
-the option of a second terminal built to the west of the
present terminal facility
-the option of an additional north-south runway to
accomodate the capacity traffic now experienced by the
current airport
-the options of redeveloping the New Ford Town region into
various types of business complexes
-the option of an airport maintenance facility in the New
Ford Town area
-the option of developing noise insulation or, control for
adjacent residents and businesses
Each of these options would be presented in a comparative style,
wherein the current area or region would be depicted through
location video, and the future option which follows would be
depicted through animated or static graphics.

Program Close
While summarizing the program highlites, it would be stressed
that the awareness that has been created concerning interaction
on development options could lead to a forum in which those
options could be further shared and expanded, and that such
forums could help to further shape public opinion on the various
issues involved. This close would be visualized in a similar
manner to the program open in which the locations would be
depicted and the players involved would have a brief closing
statement.

Greatapes can be described as a "full-service," "broadcast quality" production
facility. This essentially means that Greatapes has the talent and the resources to
produce programs at a level that meets the technical criteria for broadcast
production. This definition is important in that it ensures your program would be
of quality to "air" or what's most important - to insure the quality of your
duplicate copies. The better the quality of your "Master" the better the quality of
your distribution medium - in this case VHS or 3/4".
Greatapes will shoot on the broadcast quality "Betacam" format and master or edit
on I" videotape. All necessary graphics or visuals will also be recorded on
Betacam.
Greatapes will serve as the creative and technical producer on this project. Which
means developing script, recording on-location footage, creating graphics or
visuals, producing soundtrack with professional narrator and editing all elements
into the final "Master" program.

ITEM #5 Roles & Expectations
Greatapes personnel will work closely with the Video Production Committee and
its designated representative on all aspects of the production. A preliminary
meeting will be set-up where we can identify roles and expectations (i.e.
Greatapes is the technical expert - Production Committee is the content expert)
and also identify pertinent research materials and site locations.
We will then submit for approval when:
` There are any revisions on the outline or script.
There are any changes or additions on interview or locations than those agreed
upon by the team.
` There are graphics or visuals to be used in the production.
Ow ` Talent is to be selected for narration and any music or sound effects.
The off-line or preliminary edit is completed (if necessary) and when the video
is in its final edit stage.
We may ask for research assistance, site coordination and a representative of the
Production Committee to accompany production crew on-location and/or in
postprod uction.
ITEM e6 Deadlines
Greatapes is proud of the fact that our client on-time deadline production rate is
100%! A recent production with the Minnesota Environmental Education Board
was produced in 35 days from concept to completion. Because we are a full-
service facility we can schedule and control production factors (i.e. 2 shifts of
editing, staff videographer, audio recording & editing and video duplication) much
more closely than those who have to schedule work with outside facilities.
This full-service capability allows us to continuously monitor a project from start
to finish. If changes occur during production Greatapes can accommodate our
clients needs more efficiently by rescheduling at our discretion without
restructuring production timeline or budget.

Dear Casey:
On behalf of the STEP Policy Video Project team, I would like to
thank the Greatapes staff and you for your fine work and
terrific cooperation on "Protecting the Source," the video
project of the STEP Policy Video Team.
In particular, we are pleased that Greatapes was willing to set
aside stereotypical ideas about working with government and risk
working with four state different state agencies on a low budget
project! The purpose of the STEP program is to encourage
innovation in state government and to introduce creative
management techniques; so the project was an experiment from our
point of view, too!
We are very pleased with the solid content and high visual
quality of "Protecting the Source." I am sure it will get much
use by state agencies and the legislature.
Sincerely,
/01

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
y Council Letter No. 92
Agenda April 9, 1990
Issue Statement:
Proclamation Designating April 22 as Arbor Day and May as Arbor
Month.
Background .
Richfield traditionally has noted Arbor Day and Arbor Month in an
informal manner. The Forestry and Park Divisions will coordinate
a tree-planting with the schools and Mayor; and the press usually
notes the occasion with a brief article and/or picture. These
observations of Arbor Day and Arbor Month (along with meeting
other requirements) were sufficient to grant Richfield a "Tree
City, USA" status in 1986, 1987 & 1988. However, in 1990, the
National Arbor Day Foundation requires a proclamation for
recertification.
Recommended Motion:
Approve an official proclamation designating April 22, 1990 as
Arbor Day and May, 1990 as Arbor Month in the City of Richfield.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Richfield has a tradition of acknowledging Arbor Day and
Arbor Month.
2. The proclamation is necessary to retain "Tree City, USA"
status in 1990.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do nothing to observe Arbor Day or Arbor Month.
2. Do not approve the proclamation for Arbor Day and Arbor Month
thereby losing Tree City, USA status.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for the April 9, 1990 Council meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Jame". Prosser
City `Manager
