CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 167
Agenda July 10, 1989
Issue Statement:
Approval of an agreement for assessment services with Hennepin
County.
Background•
In 1981 the City of Richfield entered into a four year agreement
with Hennepin County for assessment services. Prior to that
time, assessment services were performed by city assessing
personnel. In 1985 the assessment agreement with Hennepin County
was extended for an additional four year period. Currently, on
July 31, 1989, the contract with Hennepin County will once again
expire. At that time, the City must take action to either extend
the agreement for an additional four year period or discontinue
the contractual relationship with Hennepin County.
In determining the best course of action in this matter, several
issues must be considered.
1. Service - In terms of service to the public, it is the
conclusion of the Administrative Services Director and
the City Manager that the service available to residents
under the Hennepin County contract is responsive and
professionally provided. The day-to-day requests for
information on processing homestead applications are
transactions typically handled by the Assessment Clerk
who is a City employee. In addition, much of the other
day-to-day public contact is also handled by Richfield
clerical support. The major services provided by the
Hennepin County staff are the services related to the
assessment of commercial and residential properties in
the City of Richfield.
2. Local Control - Minnesota Statute 273.061 clearly states
that the County Assessor has the authority to override
evaluations established by any local assessor and to
finalize evaluations. Thus, the City has no less local
control under the joint Hennepin County contract than it
would have if we had an in-house City assessing staff.
In the past, on several different occasions, the Hennepin
County Assessor has made across the board aggregate
increase adjustments to the valuations of properties in
communities in Hennepin County which are served by an in-
house assessing staff. Typically, the county average
median assessment ratio is in the 92~$ to 93$ range. For
the past several years, the median ratio for Richfield
properties has been at the 92~$ range. Thus, the
assessment of Richfield properties has been very much on
target when compared county wide.
~~/
3. Costs - There are some cities in Hennepin County that
continue to operate with an in-house assessing staff
comprised of city assessor, appraisers, and assessment
technicians and clerks. Others, such as Richfield,
utilize the Hennepin County Assessing Staff on a
contractual basis to provide those services.
Attachment A shows the cost of several neighboring
communities which employ in-house assessing staffs. The
cost to the City of St. Louis Park for their in-house
assessing staff budget for 1989 is $351,383. Similarly,
Edina pays $313,.073 for 1989 in-house assessing.
Brooklyn Park, which is slightly smaller than the
previous two comparisons, pays $180,606 in 1989 for its
in-house assessing service.
Another interesting comparison would be the cost of an
in-house City Assessing Division based on the staffing
level of the Richfield City Assessing Department prior to
1981 when in-house assessing was discontinued. Based on
a staffing level of one assessor, two property appraisers
and two assessment clerks, the cost to the City. for in
house assessing in the 1989 budget would be $276,000.
In comparison, the adopted 1989 total assessing budget
for Richfield is $165,410. The proposed revised 1989
budget, which will be presented to the City Council
within the next several weeks, calls for $174,935 with an
increase to $178,900 in 1990. Of the 1989 total City
Assessing budget,. Hennepin County contract amounts to
approximately $120,000. For that price, the City has
assigned to it most of the year, a principal property
appraiser and two additional property appraisers. At
such times when those property appraisers are not needed
for work here in Richfield, they may be reassigned back
to Hennepin County. However, typically, the City has at
least two appraisers assigned each week in Richfield.
The average cost increase for the Hennepin County
contract from 1985 through 1989 has been 3.8g per year.
That includes the additional costs generated by new
commercial construction which took place in that period
of time. As compared to other City budget increases, the
3.8$ figure is extremely conservative.
4. Board of Review - Another consideration with the
assessment contract is the Board of Review process which
takes place each year. In practice for the past eight
years, the Hennepin County Assessing Staff, along with
the Director of Administrative Services, have kept the
City Council informed of Board of Review proceedings.
Pre meetings to the Board of Review have taken place
where principal Property Appraiser, Larry Miller, has
briefed Council Members on the methods and procedures
used in developing the assessment, as well as typical
assessment appeals that may be heard before the Board.
City staff feels that those meetings between Hennepin
County staff and the City Council have been valuable in
giving all members of the Board of Review process a
better understanding of how property appraisal is
conducted and has effectuated better communication
between the City Council, City staff and Hennepin County.
Assessing with respect to the Board of Review process.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City
Manager to execute the first amendment to Contract 50385
extending the Hennepin County Assessment Contract by four years
commencing August 1, 1989.
Basis For Recommendation:
1. The contract extension provides only minor language
amendments to the contract that has been in place since 1985,
none of which are onerous to the City of Richfield. The
basic contract amount for the first year of the contract is
$120,000.
2. The service provided by Hennepin County in the past has been
extremely effective and Hennepin County continues to respond
to City requests for improving the assessing service to
Richfield residents any time that such matters are
introduced.
3. The cost of continuing to contract a service with Hennepin
County is extremely cost effective as compared to
establishing an in-house assessing staff. This is especially
critical with the restricted levy limitations the City will
be facing for 1989 revised and 1990 proposed budgets.
4. The City continues to maintain excellent local control and
effective interaction with its citizens with the Board of
Review process utilizing the Hennepin County contract.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could terminate the current contract with
Hennepin County and elect to establish its own assessing
staff. That process would be a very challenging undertaking
at this point and would require additional funding for 1989
and 1990 above what is currently projected.
r~
Discussion/Decision Mode:
It is recommended the City Council take action on this item on
July 10, 1989 in order to execute the contract extension prior to
the July 31, 1989 expiration date.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No ..166
Agenda July `10 ; 19 89
Issue Statement:
Authorization to contract with a consultant team to conduct the
Bloomington/Richfield Airport Adequacy Study.
Background•
Bloomington and Richfield have joined together to conduct a study
of the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport because of
their common concern regarding the future of the airport at its
present site. A budget of $100,000 was set for the entire study,
with Bloomington and Richfield sharing the costs proportionally
to their populations: Bloomington pays 70$, Richfield pays 30$.
BRW, Inc. drafted a Request for Proposals which was sent to
approximately 35 consulting firms. After repeated follow-up
calls, five of those firms submitted proposals: Battelle,
Gellman Research, Jefferson Center, Mendelsohn Associates, and
SRI, International/Bechtoll.
Staff from Richfield and Bloomington reviewed the proposals and
selected to interview Battelle and Mendelsohn Associates. The
interviews were held on June 14, 1989. Staff from both cities
further reviewed the two consultants and recommended Mendelsohn
Associates, Inc.
Mendelsohn Associates, Inc. was selected on the basis of a
combination of their experience, knowledge of the issues and the
importance of the political process, willingness to involve
participation by the cities through a series of workshops, and
projections to finish the Study before the November 30, 1989
target date. A copy of their proposal is attached.
The City Council of the City of Bloomington will be taking up
this matter at their Council Meeting on Monday, July 10, 1989.
A copy of the proposed contract is attached.
Recommended Motion:
It is the recommendation of the city staff that the council
authorize the city to jointly contract with the City of
Bloomington to retain Mendelsohn Associates, Inc. as the
Consultant to conduct the Bloomington/Richfield Airport Adequacy
Study.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The city staff recently completed a consultant selection
process. To repeat the process would be time consuming, delay
the Study, and would not likely yield different results.
~~~~
2. Mendelsohn Associates, Inc. submitted a proposal meeting all
of the specifications for the Study.
Alternative Recommendation:
The council could direct staff to undertake a complete interview
process of all the candidates prior to making a recommendation.
However, this would be time consuming.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be discussed at the July 10, 1989 Council
Meeting.

Mr. Rick Geshwiler
Director of Planning
City of Bloomington
Municipal Building
2215 West Old Shakopee Road
Bloomington, Minnesota 55431-3096
Dear Mr. Geshwiler:
It is with pleasure that I respond to the Request For Proposal
for the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport Adequacy
Study.
To respond to the tasks set forth in the RFP, I have assembled a
core group of experts in the fields of airport study, economic
and land use impact, and legislative and administrative strategy.
In addition to Mendelsohn Associates, Inc., the core group will
consist of Walter E. Gillfillan Associates, Inc, Walter E.
Gillfillan, principal, and EDAW, Inc., Stephen S. Fuller,
principal. Mr. Gillfillan will join with me to co-manage the
Adequacy Study and assist in coordinating the work of the core
group and additional experts who may be required.
_ The range of services provided over the past 20 years by Walter
E. Gillfillan and Associates, Inc., has focused on technical
services related to airport issues. The scope of work in many of
these projects has been conflict resolution between an airport
proprietor and surrounding communities. Mr. Gillfillan has
extensive experience both as project manager and as technical
staff in support of airport planning and noise control studies.
His transportation planning expertise spans 37 years and
encompasses experience in design, programming, research, teaching
and planning.
EDAW is a multidisciplinary firm of more than 200 community,
city and regional planners, architects, landscape architects,
economists, and environmental and social scientists. EDAW
specializes in land use planning and design, economic and fiscal
analysis, and environmental analysis. Dr. Fuller is an economist
and planner with more than twenty-five years of experience in
urban and regional planning, independent consulting, teaching and
research. He has worked with all levels of government on
projects involving economic and community development and
revitalization, housing studies, socio-economic impact
assessment, and research into public program effectiveness, tax
incentives and fiscal impact, facility location, program design
and implementation.
Please see the "Qualifications" section of this proposal for
background on me and my firm, and more detailed material on my
colleagues.
Mr. Gillfillan, Dr. Fuller and I have carefully reviewed the
material included in your RFP, and have had several discussions
with officials in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, in an effort to
understand as much as possible of the background for the Adequacy
Study. .Years of combined- experience in projects reflecting
similar public policy problems lead us to respectfully propose to
you a restructuring of the methodology of the study.
In essence, we propose to analyze all of the issues included in
the RFP, but organize the effort in a manner more likely to
'- produce a usable product more efficiently and expediently.
Bearing in mind the extremely important point made in the RFP
that "(t)he study will emphasize identification of pivotal
issues, reduction of scope, and focused analysis," we feel the
process .should enable this essential targeting activity to be
accomplished earlier, and with more Client input.
Thus we propose that the first week of the study should include a
scoping workshop with the Client which will help us to move
quickly to "focus on those issues which most strongly influence
the conclusion regarding airport adequacy." While we set forth
below--purely as examples--some of the individuals and firms who
are candidates for inclusion on a panel of experts, we strongly
feel the actual selection of additional experts should be made
jointly with the Client, and only after initial scoping has taken
place.
We have set forth an outline of our proposed work plan in the
"Task Definition" section, followed by a time schedule (Figure
1). You will note we have provided for several facilitating
workshop sessions with the Client, and a critical interactive
technical session involving our professionals, the Client, and--
very significantly--MAC, the Metropolitan Council, and their
consultants.
By this method we hope to avoid a common debilitating pitfall of
efforts of this sort, i.e., an adversarial "war of technical
consultants", which only obfuscates the objectives of the Client.
A lengthy "fatal flaw-finding" effort is unlikely to actually
produce such flaws on a scale or of a nature to be of real help
in support of the Client's most important premises. Further,
preliminary checking leads us 'to believe that the kind of strong
and convincing experts you must have will not be willing to enter
into a frankly adversarial relationship with their peers, and
also• will not be willing to risk forsaking future business
opportunities at MSP Interational Airport as a result of their
role as fault-finder.
Our proposed process, on the other hand;
- uses an interactive format that allows the Client cities,
MAC, the Metropolitan Council, and their technical
consultants to communicate in a non-adversarial arena, where
skillful moderating and questioning can produce extremely
valuable responses;
- focuses on the interpretation of information and analysis
rather than on finding fault with the data, and allows for
different--but equally valid--conclusions because different
values and viewpoints are used to interpret the information;
- accelerates and sharpens the effort by focusing only on
those technical matters central to the political and
strategic process.
In sum, our proposed process can be accomplished quickly and
efficiently, will concentrate our joint attention on issues which
can best impact on public policy, allows for maximum Client feed-
back, and sows the seeds of implementation with a clear plan for
follow-on action. It will maximize the opportunity to get a real.
and usable "fresh perspective", and provide for greater scrutiny
of the most relevant issues.
Examples of the kinds of expert firms and individuals we would
jointly select are Landrum and Brown (aviation activity
forecast); Gerry Bogan, FAA retired (airspace capacity); Peat,
Marwick and Mills (airfield facilities capacity); Arnold Thompson
(terminal capacity); Mestre Greve Associates (noise impact on
__ land uses). Additionally, Mr. Gillfillan himself is a recognized
authority on various airport issues, including noise impact.
We believe the proposed Adequacy Study is a fine and creative
idea that has the opportunity to have a real impact on airport
planning in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We would like very
much to be a part of this exciting effort, and look forward to
hearing from you. We of course stand ready to provide any
additional information you require.
Best regards,
Ro ert H. Mendelsohn

MENDEISOHN ASSOCIATES, INC.
OVERVIEW OF COMPANY
Mendelsohn Associates, Inc., is a development and consulting firm
based in Washington, D.C. The firm specializes in .overall
project coordination services for large clients both locally and
nationally, particularly in projects where governmental agencies
play a significant role.
Normall, Mendelsohn Associates acts to organize an entity, group,
or team in an attempt to have significant impact in the shaping
of public policy at a given level of government.. For example:
o In response to serious economic concerns by a major segment
of the cured meats industry, Mendelsohn Associates organized
a new group within the industry,. entitled. CURE (The
_ Committee United against Regulatory Excess), which worked
_- with the Federal administration to present the views of a
group of small businesses that had hitherto been without a
voice.
o. A large but diffused group of Washington, D.C., businesses,
making up the limousine industry, was organized by
Mendelsohn Associates into the Washington Area Limousine
Association, which has become a cohesive entity with a clear
agenda which has met with success on a variety of important
issues.
The firm's role on behalf of development clients includes
selecting team members; coordinating the efforts of the team in
preparing concept proposals and submissions for competitive
public projects; establishing and monitoring timetables;
representing the team with city, state and federal officials;
ensuring that all requirements are satisfied in packaging
development proposals; and assisting in the management of a
project through to completion.
Development projects in which Mendelsohn Associates has played a
significant role include:
o Washington Harbour, a $200 million mixed-use development
located the on Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Mendelsohn
Associates directed the complex effort to secure approvals
for this project from a variety of local and federal
agencies. A new waterfront park was constructed on twelve
acres of land west of the site as part of the National Parks
system, pursuant to an agreement negotiated by Mendelsohn
Associates.
o Market Square, a $150 million project which will include
approximately 500,000 square feet of first-class office
space, 240 residential units, 70,000 square feet of retail
space. Rights to design and construct the Market Square
project were awarded by the Pennsylvania Avenue Development
Corporation to a team organized by Mendelsohn Associates,
following a competition. It is located on historic
Pennsylvania Avenue across from the National Archives in
Washington, D.C. and is currently under construction.
o The Portals, which will overlook the waterfront at the 14th
Street Bridge entrance to Washington, D.C. This $600
million mixed-use complex will include over 3 million square
feet of office, retail, hotel, community and parking uses.
The District of Columbia Redevelopment Land Agency awarded
the rights to design and construct the 10 acre Portals
project to a team organized by Mendelsohn Associates,
following a major competition. .Construction is planned to
begin in the fall of 1989.
o The New Carrollton Metro Station, the location of a mixed-
.use project on land owned by the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority, at the crossroads of the Washington
Beltway and Route 50 in Prince Georges County, Maryland.
Rights to develop the project were awarded to a team
organized by Mendelsohn Associates, following a competitive
process. This complex will include over one million square
feet of office, retail, hotel, parking uses, and an
extensive public winter garden plaza.
o The General Mail Facility, a $100 million postal facility
for the United States Postal Service on in Washington, D.C.
Rights to develop the project were awarded to a team
organized by Mendelsohn Associates, following a competitive
process. Designed to meet all of the Postal Service's
specifications, the project includes workroom and all
operational facilities on a 443,745 square foot ground
floor, and offices, locker facilities and mechanical rooms
on a 115,000 square foot upper floor. Coordinated by
Mendelsohn Associates, construction proceeded on a special
fast track basis and was completed and dedicated August
1986, well ahead of schedule and under budget.
PRINCIPAL
Robert H. Mendelsohn
Mr. Mendelsohn is President of Mendelsohn Associates, Inc. He is
a specialist in organizing professionals from various disciplines
into a team, and then managing the effort of the team to produce
specific results within a specific time frame. Examples, drawn
from various points in his career, include the following:
o As the Community Relations Specialist for the San Francisco
Redevelopment Agency (1961-1964), Mr. Mendelsohn worked with
the Japanese community in the Western Addition of the city
to organize the United Committee for the Japanese Community,
and assisted the UCJC in preparing the plan to create the
Nihonmachi ("Japan Town") neighborhood development. He also.
worked with various residents of the Diamond Heights section
to create the Neighbors for Moderate-Priced Private Housing
to effectively counter opposition to the development of
needed lower middle income housing in the neighborhood.
o As Assistant to State Senator J Eugene McAteer of San
Francisco (1964-1967), Mr. Mendelsohn wrote the legislation
for, and created the concept of, the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission, charged with the responsibility of
controlling the then rampant filling of San Francisco Bay.
He went on to become a member of the original BCDC, first
representing Senator McAteer, and then the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors (to which he was elected in 1967).
While with Senator McAteer, he also helped to develop the
Bay Area Transportation Study Commission.
o As a member of the Board of Supervisors (1967-1977), Mr.
Mendelsohn played an active role in such regional agencies
as the California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission, the
Bay Area Sewer Services Agency, and the Bay Area Chapter of
the League of California Cities, which he served as
President. As Chairman of the Finance Committee of the
Board of Supervisors, Mr. Mendelsohn took a lead role in the
program to plan and finance the major expansion of the San
Francisco International Airport.
o As project administrator with the urban and landscape design
firm of Lawrence Halprin & Associates (1970-1973), Mr.
Mendelsohn headed up the complex and interdisciplinary
efforts to produce downtown and riverfront plans for Ft.
Worth, Texas, and the Freeway Park in Seattle, Washington,
utilizing in these projects the advanced workshop techniques
(always with heavy client involvement) developed by Mr.
Halprin. Of special note is the fact that the Freeway Park
project involved financing from private sources, local bond
funds, and grants from the stat and federal Departments of
Transportation. Approvals for this precedent-setting
project were required at every level of government.
o As a consultant to the Pennsylvania Avenue Development
Corporation (1978), Mr. Mendelsohn played an important role
in the successful effort to turn PADC from a planning body
to an operating agency, properly organized to carry out its
mission to redevelop the Avenue.
o As Assistant to the Secretary of the Interior (1978-1980),.
Mr. Mendelsohn reorganized the Office of Youth Programs,
helped conceive, lobby for, and ultimately manage the Urban
Park and Recreation Recovery Program, and brought together
city planners, historians, cultural .leaders, and officials
of the federal government and the District of Columbia, to
participate in a conference and subsequent study which he
managed, to develop programs to balance the conflicting
needs of Washington, the city, and Washington, the Nation's
Capitol.
o In 1987, Mr. Mendelsohn was appointed by the President to
the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, where he
serves as a member of the Museum Development Committee,
charged with .the responsibility of designing and
constructing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on the
National Mall in Washington, D.C. As a member of the Board
of Directors of the Wolf Trap Foundation, he serves on the
Building Committee which has overseen the $22 million
reconstruction of the Filene Center at the Wolf Trap
Foundation for the Performing Arts.

EDAW
Community Planning and Design
EDAW is a planning and design firm with over forty years of experience in city and regional
planning and urban design. In recent years, the firm has specialized in planning and design
for new communities and has obtained a national reputation in this area based on experience
involving numerous new communities in the United States and abroad. Our multidisciplinary
staff of more than 200 community, city and regional planners, architects, landscape architects.
economists, and environmental and social scientists offers experience in all of the interrelated
facets of new community development including development planning, detailed site planning
and design, economic and fiscal analysis, environmentally conscious design, public processin;
and permitting, and phasing and implementation. This experience enables EDAW to plan
and design new communities which meet federal, state and local requirements, meet and
exceed client objectives for quality of life, and are at the same time efficiently designed, cost
effective and implementable.
For new communities and other large scale projects, our services can be described under the
~. three broad headings: land use planning and programming, environmental assessment and
_ permitting, and site development planning and design.
Land Use Planning and Programming
In order to develop the program for a new community project, EDAW will first study client
objectives and then define and evaluate community needs based upon the population to be
accommodated, both initially and for the long term. Important considerations include factors
such as climate as it influences community design concepts and outdoor recreation potential,
and relative distance to existing cities providing goods, services and amenities. This phase of
the planning process focuses upon housing requirements, public and quasi-public community
facilities, traffic and circulation within the community and in the regional context, and general
safety and community service requirements to meet the goal of providing a community which
will attract a stable high-quality work force and meet the client's capital investment program.
EDAW realizes that projects in remote locations may be subject to uncertainties of
government policy, labor supply shortages, and evolving client priorities and schedules. Our
programming and planning process for such developments is designed to be flexible and
responsive to changing client needs.
The product of these studies is a phased master plan map and program documents identifying
land use categories, locations and public facilities, keyed to a population-based phasing
schedule. The accompanying program document correlates required facility development to
population build-up, optimal spatial relationships, client financial programs, and projected
public facility financing.
Environmental Assessment and Permitting
EDAW is knowledgeable of today's regulatory environment and is experienced in planning
new developments and communities designed from the start to meet the requirements in a
timely and cost-effective manner. Understanding local geology, soils, hydrology, and other
natural systems enables us to design projects that meet environmental regulations and also
avoid costly engineering solutions or mitigation measures whenever possible.
EDAW
We are experienced in community master planning, zoning and permitting requirements,
and environmental impact assessment requirements. We have expertise in the socio-
economics of boomtowns and have developed state-of-the-art growth management techniques
to help clients develop financially attractive projects which attract a stable work force within
today's strict regulatory requirements and level of public expectation.
Typical products may include environmental assessments, impact reports, master plan
submittals and zoning applications. EDAW is also experienced and able to assist clients in the
formation of special districts, municipal annexations and public facility bonding.
Site Development Planning and Design
In the final analysis, the configuration of the built environment will directly affect construction
costs, operations and maintenance costs, and the quality of life of community residents. In the
last ten years, EDAW has won over fifty awards and honors for design excellence. As site
designer, EDAW will translate the master plan and zoning map into actual land plans
including subdivision design, community facilities layouts and special features such as park
design.. This design activity includes progressively more detailed products, from conceptual
design through site construction documents:
Recent New Community Projects
In the past several years, our new community planning and design work has included new
residential communities in both urban and rural environments, resort and second home
communities, numerous mixed-use developments, large-scale new military installations and .
major projects in several foreign countries.
Kingstowne in Fairfax County, Virginia is a 1,000-acre new town being developed over aten-
year period that will include 5,700 residential units, 2.3 million square feet of commercial
space, a 74-acre park and 14-acre lake. The Pavilions at Knoxville in Tennessee is being
planned for the adaptive reuse of the 1982 World's Fair site and adjacent riverfront. The
preferred land use plan creates a new town for Knoxville on both banks of Fort London Lake
including festive retail, entertainment, arts, district, office and residential.
For Bell Operations Corporation, we performed the master planning, land use analysis,
facilities programming, and design and project management for a complete new community
and manufacturing complex in Iran. For the U.S. Air Force, EDAW developed master plans
for operating bases in support of the M-X Weapons System. We also provided master
planntng and design for Northstar- at-Tahoe, California; Redwood Shores, California; Village
14 of the Irvine New Community, California; Nlililani Ne~v Town, Hawaii; Burke Mountain
New Town, British Columbia; New Orleans East New Town, Louisiana; and King Abdul Aziz
IVfedical Facility, Saudi Arabia. EDAW recently completed the master plan for the 12,000
acre Naval Submarine Support Base at Kings Bay, Georgia.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 165
Agenda July 10, 1989
Issue Statement•
Resolution proposing to specially assess 1990 Maintenance L/H/N/
Redevelopment Area,. City Project No. 853, and setting date of
hearing for August 14, 1989.
Background:
On January 26, 1981, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
6372, which established a service in the L/H/N area
(approximately bounded by 64th Street, First Avenue, 67th Street
and Emerson Avenue) would be specially assessed. The special
assessment to commercial property would be made on the basis of
area, with each square foot of assessable commercial property
within the district being assessed an equal amount. All single
family, two family and multiple family residential property
within this area were eliminated from the special assessment
levy.
In 1982, agreements were reached with owners in the L/H/N area
related to maintenance of property. For the most part, each
owner was to be responsible for property to the curb while the
city is responsible for common areas such as street islands.
Although-the city does do some maintenance work for individual
property owners, these costs are directly assessed to the
appropriate owner and maintenance of common areas continues to be
assessed to the entire district. Current maintenance services
for the district would include, but not necessarily be limited
to, one or more of the following:
1. Landscaping, including tree trimming;
2. Sidewalk sweeping in the summer;
3. Snow removal in the winter;
4. Sidewalk deicing;
5. Painting and repair of wood furniture;
6. Trash removal;
7. General maintenance, including repairs and replacement;
8. Irrigation maintenance.
These items are extra services provided directly to the L/H/N
Redevelopment Area and do not include services provided to the
entire city. For example, all city streets are swept twice a
year, and for this service there would be no charge to the L/H/N
maintenance assessment. However, any additional street sweeping
in the L/H/N area would be an assessable item.
~y-~,
1988 actual costs for these services were $44,405.24. Estimated
1989 costs are $40,614.00 and estimated 1990 costs are $41,570.00
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution proposing to specially assess for the costs of current
services provided within the L/H/N project area for the period of
January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990, and to set the public
hearing date for August 14, 1989.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 6372, adopted in 1981, established a policy
for assessing the costs.
2. This policy allows staff to continue to provide excellent
service to the L/H/N Redevelopment Area.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the
maintenance performed to that dollar amount; however, staff
believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this commercial area is
recommended by staff in order to sustain the current standards
for landscaping and maintenance which have been successful over
the past years.

Council Letter No. 163
Agenda July 10, 1989
Issue Statement:
Resolution proposing to specially assess 1990 Alley
Maintenance, - City Project No. 852, and setting date of hearing
for August 14, 1989.
Background•
The alley policy adopted by the City Council in 1980
provides that "all costs involved in maintaining an alley will be
assessed against the property abutting the alley." In 1981, the
maintenance functions to unpaved alleys covered sweeping,
cleaning of potholes and cold patching. In 1982 and years since,
the maintenance functions covered by this assessment included not
only repair work to unpaved. alleys, but also an assessment to all
alleys, paved or unpaved, for snowplowing services.
The actual 1988 maintenance costs for all alleys totalled
$8453.93 or approximately $4.50/per fifty-foot lot. These
charges were primarily for sweeping. The mild winter of
1987/1988 resulted in very low costs for snowplowing.
The 1989 estimates for alley maintenance are $20,000, or
approximately $10.75/per fifty-foot lot on a paved alley. This
estimate is anticipating a normal winter of snowplowing and
sweeping; plus the concrete joint sealing maintenance program
initiated in the 1989 alley maintenance program.
As for 1990, the estimates are also $20,000 for alley maintenance
or approximately $10.75 for a fifty-foot lot. $7.50/per lot is
the estimate for sweeping and a normal winter of snowplowing.
The additional $3.25/per lot is an estimate of costs to continue
a concrete joint sealing maintenance program on paved alleys as a
part of routine maintenance.
Estimates of additional costs on unpaved alleys each year
has been about $23.00/per lot. Costs have varied depending on
the amount of patching required.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution which proposes to specially assess the costs of 1990
services for alley maintenance and sets the public hearing on
this special assessment project for August 14, 1989.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Previously adopted policy mandates the assessments.
2. The project is feasible.

Council Letter No. 161
Agenda July 10, 1989
Issue Statement:
Resolution proposing to specially assess 1990 Maintenance, I/L/N
Project Area, City Project No. 854, and setting date of public
hearing for August 14, 1989.
Background:
On March 14, 1988, the Council adopted Resolution No. 7405
establishing a policy that the actual cost of performing current
maintenance services in the I/L/N Project Area, (area
approximately bounded by Lyndale on the east and 77th Street on
the south) would be assessed. The special assessment to multi-
residential and commercial property would be made on the basis of
area, with each square foot of assessable property within the
district being assessed an equal amount. Current maintenance
services for the district would include, but not necessarily be
limited to the following:
1. Landscape maintenance of common properties including,
among other things, tree trimming, mowing, fertilizing
and edging.
2. Irrigation maintenance.
3. Painting and repair of wood furniture.
4. Trash removal and general maintenance including repair
and replacement of lights, sidewalks, curbs, furniture
and plantings.
These items are extra services provided directly to the I/L/N
Project Area and do not include services provided to the entire
city.
1988 actual costs for these services were $7001.47. Estimated
1989 costs are $7254.00 and estimated 1990 costs are $7514.00.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution proposing to specially assess the
I/L/N Project Area for the period of January 1, 1990 through
December 31, 1990, and to set the public hearing date for August
14, 1989.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Resolution No. 7405, adopted in 1988, established a policy
for assessing the costs.
2. This policy will allow staff to continue to provide
excellent service to the I/L/N Project Area.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to establish a set rate and limit the
maintenance performed to that dollar amount; however, staff
-~ ~%~- i
believes the redevelopment area would suffer if limited
maintenance was performed.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Continued maintenance service for this area is recommended by
staff in order to sustain current standards for landscaping and
maintenance. Action on this item should be taken at this time to
meet the requirements for the public hearing date.

Licenses for Frenchman's Tavern & Grill, 1400 East 66th St.
Background:
On June 10, 1989, the City received an application for on-sale
and off-sale non-intoxicating malt liquor licenses from
Frenchman's Tavern & Grill. The required license fees have been
paid.
Frenchman's currently has on-sale and off-sale 3.2 beer licenses
and has been owned and operated by Mr. William Snyder for many
years. Mr. Snyder has decided to retire and has sold the
establishment to Mr. Charles J. Cordray, a Bloomington resident.
Mr. Cordray was employed by Unisys for over 20 years and has no
known criminal record.
Mr. Cordray has supplied the required liquor liability and
workers compensation insurance coverages.
There have been no significant incidences with the Frenchmans
since the renewal licenses were granted for 1989.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the on-sale and off-sale non-intoxicating malt liquor
licenses for Frenchmans Tavern & Grill located at 1400 East 66th
Street.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The applicant has complied with all of the provisions of
both the City code and state statute pertaining to 3.2 beer
licensing.
2. Based upon the information supplied by the applicant and the
investigation conducted by the Public Safety Department,
there appears to be no reason to deny the licenses
requested.
Alternative Recommendations:
1. The Council could decide to continue the request for the
licenses, however, the applicant is anxious to start
operating the business.
2. The Council could decide to deny one or both of the licenses
requested. The Public Safety Department investigation has

Recommended Motion:
Approve a purchase order in the amount of $11,167.78 to A & M
Disaster Services, Inc.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A & M Disaster Services, Inc. submitted the low quotation
for the clean-up work.
2. A & M is recommended as a reliable company by our insurance
company.
3. The smoke damage at the Central Garage needs to be cleaned
by professionals using special chemicals in order to remove
the soot, grime and odor permanently.

Award of contract to replace the bathhouse roof at the municipal
pool, 630 East 66th Street.

The existing roof is 27 years old. The flashing was repaired in
1981 and the drains patched in 1984. The roof has very little
gravel, does not drain properly, and leaks in several areas.

Zenith Roofing Inc. $10,100
Weather Proof Systems Inc. $10,399
Faircon Roofing Co. $13,037

Metro Summit Builders, Inc. $15,970
Recommended Motion:
Award a contract to the S.A.I. Construction Company, St. Louis
Park, to re-roof the municipal pool bathhouse for $10,000.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. S.A.I. submitted the lowest quote for the project.
2. The 1989 budget has sufficient funds to complete the
project .
3. The infrastructure study indicates the bathhouse roof is
past due to be replaced.
4. The quote is less than engineering estimates.
Alternative Recommendation:
Council may choose to reject all quotes and request staff to
solicit further quotes; however, staff does not believe a better
price can be found by a reputable company.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
In order to complete the project in this construction season,
staff is requesting the contract be awarded at this time.
