04-24-89 agendaCITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 102 Agenda April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: Consideration of City Attorney appointment. Background: John B. Dean has announced that he will be leaving the firm of LeFevere, Lefler, Kennedy, O'Brien and Drawz effective May 1, 1989. John, along with Charlie LeFevere and Ron Batty, has joined the firm of Holmes and Graven effective May 20, 1989. The city's agreement with LeFevere, Lefler is in essence a package agreement. The agreement specifically states "The city appoints the firm as City Attorney with John B. Dean as primary legal counsel." The information regarding John B. Dean's departure was provided to the council in a memo dated April 14, 1989. That memo included a recommendation that city staff conduct interviews with LeFevere, Lefler and the Holmes and Graven firm to provide a recommendation for appointment to be made by the City Council at the April 24, 1989 City Council meeting. City staff has reviewed the RFP's and conducted interviews with both firms. Recommended Motion: Staff recommends that the firm of Holmes and Graven be retained for general corporate representation with John B. Dean as principal attorney. Basis for Recommendation: 1. Staff has reviewed the qualifications of LeFevere, Lefler and their designated attorneys and Holmes and Graven and their designated attorneys. The review indicated that both firms had excellent municipal background and experience. The significant difference between the firms included the experience of key personnel designated to provide services to Richfield. John Dean has been the assistant to the attorney for 16 years, and has served as city attorney officially since August, 1988. During that time he has provided excellent representation for the city. The firm of Holmes and Graven has the capability of providing good general backup support for John Dean. The addition of John Dean, Charlie LeFevere, and Ron Batty further enhances this firm's capabilities. 2. The LeFevere Lefler firm designated David Kennedy to provide legal services for the city. David Kennedy is a fine municipal attorney. The recommendation to appoint John Dean and Holmes and Graven is not a reflection on Mr. Kennedy's / capabilities, but rather the previous experience with John Dean. 3. The fee structure for both firms is virtually identical. Holmes and Graven has committed to maintaining the fee structure established in the LeFevere Lefler retainer agreement for the balance of 1989. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City Council could decide to reject this appointment and request additional study for other alternatives. Staff has completed a review of other legal service alternatives in August, 1988. That information was again reviewed prior to providing this recommendation. It would not appear that any other firm would be able to provide the level of service and experience that John B. Dean and Holmes and Graven would provide. Discussion /Decision Mode: This matter will be presented at the council meeting of April 24, 1989. If the council concurs with this recommendation a new retainer agreement will be developed. John Dean and Holmes and Graven have agreed to maintain the same agreement including fees as provided by LeFevere, Lefler. ResAsD. ec fully submitted, Ja Pr osser City Manager JDP /eja CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA City Council Letter No. 101 April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: Request for an offstreet parking permit for Hope Presbyterian Church at 7132 Portland Avenue. Background: Hope Presbyterian Church has requested an offstreet parking permit for the property located at 7132 Portland Avenue. The applicant is proposing to construct a walkway between the recently purchased school building and church at 7132 Portland Avenue. The proposed walkway addition would be constructed at ground level, and would be approximately 100 feet long by 30 feet wide. A summary of uses at the property is found in Attachment A. This summary specifies activities, space utilized, hours of operation and the number of staff. Proposed improvements associated with the application for the offstreet parking permit are summarized below along with city requirements. 1. Parking The applicant is proposing to provide 270 parking spaces. The basic city guideline for parking would require that 213 spaces be provided. However, on Sundays, when the various services are scheduled 15 minutes apart, there is a high volume of overlapping traffic which the parking lot cannot adequately accommodate. This situation presently exists on Sundays, with 315 existing spaces provided (See Table A). 2. Circulation The applicant proposes to revise the existing circulation such that there will be a new curb cut along Fourth Avenue, at the south end of the property. This will accommodate traffic ingress and egress from the main parking lot, which will no longer be connected to the northwest corner parking lot. 3. Setbacks Setbacks proposed and required are summarized and attached in Table B. Setback requirements have been met. 4. Drainaae A drainage plan has been submitted and reviewed by the City Engineer. The plan has not been approved because the plan does not include a catch basin or drainage plan for the northwest corner parking lot. 5. Curb Cuts As indicated previously under the circulation discussion, the applicant proposes to construct a new curb cut on the southwest corner of the property onto Fourth Avenue. Additionally, two curb cuts along the northwest corner parking lot will be eliminated, and the existing Portland Avenue curb cut is proposed to be widened to 26 feet. The applicant proposes to maintain all the remaining curb cuts at their existing widths of 18 feet in the northwest corner parking lot, and 26 feet along the existing Fourth Avenue drive along the school. The City requirements for curb cut width is 26 feet. 6. Lighting and Signage Lighting has been incorporated into the proposal to illuminate parking areas and entry ways. There is no indication on the plan, however, how the lighting, especially at the south entry way, will spill over toward adjacent residents. No new signage is proposed. The existing signage would remain, as proposed. 7. Screening & Maintenance (Landscaping, Fencing, Irrigation & maintenance) The applicant proposes to install a row of shrubbery along the southwestern corner of the property adjacent to the proposed drive. The existing landscaping and perimeter fencing (mesh) are in marginal condition. 8. Perimeter Curbing The proposed plan does not clearly identify curbing is in place inspection by staff portions of the lot curbing. or will be installed. of the property, there which do not presently where perimeter In a field are numerous have perimeter At the February 28th Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the applicant's request for the granting of a preliminary plat, at this time adjacent residents expressed concern over any additional traffic along Fourth Avenue. In addition, concern was expressed by neighbors that adequate screening be provided around the perimeter of the Hope Presbyterian Church property. The Planning Commission requested that these concerns be relayed to the City Council at the review of the offstreet parking permit. Recommended Motion: To deny the granting of an offstreet parking permit for Hope Presbyterian Church at 7132 Portland Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: 1. That the proposed plan would have an adverse impact on the adjacent properties, due to drainage, circulation, and aesthetic concerns, detailed below. a. Parking /Circulation - Adequate provision has not been made for on -site parking, particularly at peak times during Sunday services (See Table A). In addition, numerous residents have contacted city staff requesting that church buses not park on Fourth Avenue. Staff recommends that a designated area on the applicant's parking lot be provided to accommodate church buses. This would require that additional parking be provided for both the overlapping traffic volume and the parking of buses on -site. Staff recommends that the applicant provide 309 spaces for automobile parking and in addition, provide designated bus parking areas on -site which will accommodate church buses (See Table A). b. Drainaae - Adequate drainage has not been provided in the northwest corner of the parking lot. The proposal must include a catch basin and associated drainage plan for the northwest corner of the parking lot to meet the approval of the City Engineer. c. Curb Cuts - All curb cuts as proposed do not meet the minimum 26 feet requirements. In addition, the two drive entrances in the northwest corner of the parking lot which are no longer to be used must be closed off. The applicant has proposed to keep them open. d. Lighting & Signage - Illumination must meet city requirements such that there is no glare onto adjacent residents. It is unclear from the proposed plans how the proposed lighting will affect adjacent residents. Signage should reflect the new changes in circulation, particularly at the Portland Avenue exit. e. Perimeter Curbing - Must be installed around the perimeter of the parking lot. Presently, areas are proposed to remain without curbing. f. Screening - Sufficient screening has not been provided by the applicant's proposed plan. Particularly due to adjacent resident's concerns raised before the Planning Commission, staff recommends that a comprehensive screening plan and maintenance plan be implemented. This plan would entail a combination of landscaping and fencing around the perimeter of the property, as well as along the westerly school entrance drive. Staff recommends that new fencing (preferably board on board rather than mesh) be installed around the perimeter of the school, as the current mesh fence is unsightly and in disrepair. This would be complemented with additional /J - A( landscaping to soften the large bituminous surfaces of the parking lot. Staff recommends that this also be accomplished by installing planting islands within the parking lot which will also serve to designate parking areas and ease circulation within the parking lot. In addition, staff recommends that a maintenance program for the sod, plantings and fence be instituted by the applicant. 2. Discussions were held mid -day Friday between staff and representatives of the applicant whereby certain of the above concerns were tentatively resolved. However, these latest proposals have not yet been presented to staff in a plan format that can be specifically reviewed. These proposals include the following issues: A. Curb Cuts: a. The remaining non - conforming curb cut in the northwest corner lot will be widened from 18' to 26' as per city requirements. b. The two curb cuts along the northwest corner parking lot will be closed, per city requirements. B. Perimeter Curbing: a. Perimeter curbing will be added in the northwest corner parking lot in addition to other areas proposed on the plan submitted. However the applicant does not propose to add perimeter curbing along the adjacent resident's property at the perimeter area fronting along Portland Avenue. Staff has concern that if perimeter curbing is not added, the parking lot will more likely erode in these areas. C. Parking a. The applicant has no specific proposal to address overflow parking concerns at this time. b. A designated on -site bus parking area will be indicated on the final plans. It will likely be located at the south end of the main parking lot adjacent to the neighboring apartment garages. D. Drainage - The applicant will install 2 catch basins in the northwest corner parking lot, which meet the City Engineer's remaining drainage concerns. E. Screening - The applicant has not proposed any additional screening, beyond a shrub row as indicated on the submitted plans for the southwest drive. Representatives of the applicant indicated to staff they will meet to discuss the possibilities for a more comprehensive screening program, and present this to the City Council on Monday, April 24. Staff has recommended that this program include landscaping, fencing r,;�- S (preferably new board on board) and a maintenance program. If new fencing is not installed, staff would recommend a much more intensive landscape material planting plan to buffer the adjacent residents from Church traffic and headlight glare. The above issues will be addressed by the applicant before the City Council on Monday, April 24, 1989. Alternative Recommendation: To approve the granting of an offstreet parking permit for Hope Presbyterian Church at 7132 Portland Avenue South, with the following stipulations. 1. Full perimeter curbing be installed adjacent to public right of ways, to adjacent properties, and per staff approval. 2. Lighting reviewed with staff and meet illumination requirements with no glaring on adjoining residences. Signage be modified to reflect new changes in circulation, particularly at the Portland Avenue exit. 3. A designated area be specified for church bus parking on the applicant's property, and approved by staff. That the issue of overflow parking be addressed. 4. Curb cuts be closed which are no longer is use along the northwest corner parking lot. 5. A catch basin and associated drainage plan be proposed and approved by the City Engineer. 6. To install screening sufficient to buffer adjacent residents, particularly from headlight glare, per staff approval. Decision Mode: This item has been placed on the April 24, 1989 city council agenda for consideration. Respectfully submitted, Ja s D.

Background: Staff has on a number of occasions received complaints of cars or trucks parked too close to an intersection which causes sight problems. Currently, city ordinance and state statutes do prohibit parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk. However, no provision is made for parking near intersections without a crosswalk. Public Safety and the Traffic Control Committee have reviewed this problem. Both concur that we lack the authority to address the problem and that the problem is real. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of an ordinance amending Section 1305.25 of the city ordinance code prohibiting parking within thirty feet (30') of intersections without crosswalks, and schedule the second reading and public hearing for the May 22, 1989 City Council meeting. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Staff and the Traffic Safety Committee believe this amendment would address this unsafe practice. 2. It appears the intent of this ordinance was implied, but not specified when the ordinance prohibiting parking within twenty feet (201) of a crosswalk at an intersection was adopted. 3. Vehicles parked too close to an intersection do restrict sight. 4. An ordinance such as this reduces the need for additional parking restriction signs. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Do nothing, which would allow vehicles to continue parking right up to an intersection without crosswalks. 2. Direct staff to find another alternative. 3. Direct staff to sign any problem intersections with "no parking here to corner" signs. This alternative could work, but would lack uniformity throughout the city. Discussion /Decision Mode: First reading of this ordinance has been placed on the April 24, 1989 city council agenda. If the ordinance is approved at the /64 0160t second reading on May 22, it would become effective 30 days after publication in the city's official newspaper. The city would also develop appropriate publicity to advise residents of this new ordinance prior to enforcement.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 99 Agenda April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: First reading on a request for rezoning of the property at 7312 Lyndale Avenue. Background: Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Smith, have requested the rezoning of 7312 Lyndale Avenue South from 'R', single family residence district to 'MR -21, multiple residence district. The purpose of the rezoning is to construct six townhomes in two buildings. The existing structure on the site is in poor condition. The applicant is proposing to sell off the jog to the east (as noted on the attached site plan "area to be removed "), contingent upon the rezoning of the property. A copy of the purchase agreement has been attached. This would serve to straighten out the rear lot line. The proposal has been reviewed based on the straight lot line. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on March 28, 1989 and recommended denial (7 to 1) on the basis of incompatibility with the neighborhood. An analysis of the proposal is outlined in Attachment A. Recommended Motion: To approve first reading of an amendment to Section 545.11 of the zoning ordinance rezoning the property at 7312 Lyndale Avenue from 'R' single family residence to MR -2 multiple family residence district to allow the construction of six townhomes in two structures; and schedule; and schedule the public hearing and second reading for May 22, 1989. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The Comprehensive Development Plan designates the property as medium density buffer, MR -2 (multiple family). 2. The proposed common element subdivision is in conformance with the city's subdivision regulations, based on the revised lot line. 3. The proposal meets all city requirement for an MR -2 district. 4. There are 42 mature trees on the site. The applicant proposes to maintain 7 trees and install 7 new trees. Staff has reviewed the landscape plan submitted and found it to be adequate. 5. The abutting properties are zoned 'R' district except one lot to the west which is zoned (MR -1) two family dwellings. The site plan indicates a 6 foot privacy fence along the westerly property line extending 32 feet along the northerly and southerly property line. it -2- Alternative Recommendation: 1. To review the request to construct six townhome units in two buildings on the basis of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), limited to six units. The applicant has adequate land acreage in order to apply for a PUD. If the PUD were limited to six units, the concerns for a potentially more intensive development could be alleviated. In addition, with a PUD, the layout of the townhomes could be reviewed in terms of relationship to the adjacent residents. 2. To deny the request on the basis that most of the properties in the neighborhood are single family residential uses, and therefore the proposal would be incompatible with the neighborhood. Decision Mode: First reading of the zoning amendment is scheduled for April 24, 1989.

SIGNATURE OF OWNER ADDRESS LEGAL DESCRIPTION 41 To the Richfield City Council: This letter concerns the rezoning proposal for the property at 7312 Lyndale from single family to MR2 (Multiple Dwelling). We have several serious concerns regarding this proposal. Water Runoff Currently our home is the lowest in the neighborhood. In spring and during heavy rain it is not uncommon to have 4 -6 inches standing water in the backyard. This affects 3 -4 lots surrounding ours as well. Grading, landscaping, and tree removal in developing these adjoining lots would certainly have a negative effect on what currently is a growing problem. Tree Removal Tree removal is a fact of development. We feel that removing the majority of trees on the lots would seriously affect the appearance of our neighborhood. Certainly more of these trees can be saved. A Single Family Neighborhood This is the most serious point of our concern. It is our understanding that an MR2 rezoning does not establish a guaranteed number of units that will be constructed on a property. We have seen and heard a great many different proposals that supposedly would not affect our neighborhood negatively. We cannot believe that a landlord, property management company, or townhome owner could provide the pride and care to the property that a single family dwelling would. With current real estate tactics, who can guarantee this property will be developed and sold as promised? As homeowners we must cry out against this rezoning. The property is bordered on all sides by single family homes. This would be a slap in the face to all of us who enjoy a peaceful neighborhood. The parking and traffic problems alone should be enough grounds to deny this proposal. We feel any development of this property should improve the neighborhood both financially and esthetically. We admit our concerns are selfish, but we see the neighborhood out our windows everyday. Thank you for your attention. "7- - (;� U�r3b� aye Re her Paul Hannaman X32 Ave - �0- z d a�� r r H_ �_ `� i CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 98 Agenda April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: Continuance of the public hearing on a request for a preliminary plat, common element subdivision of the property at 7312 Lyndale Avenue. Background: Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Smith have requested that the property at 7312 Lyndale Avenue be subdivided into a common element subdivision to allow the construction of six townhomes in two buildings. The existing structure on the site is in poor condition. The applicant is proposing to sell off the jog to the east (as noted on the attached site plan "area to be removed "), contingent upon the rezoning of the property. An analysis of the proposal is outlined in Attachment A. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on March 28, 1989 combined with a request for a rezoning from 'R', single family residence district to 'MR -21, multiple residence district. The Planning Commission recommended denial (7 to 1). Recommended Motion: To continue the review for the preliminary plat common element subdivision of the property tentatively scheduled for May 22, 1989. Basis of Recommendation: The motion for a rezoning request must go to a second reading, tentatively scheduled for May 22.

Background: Enterprise Leasing Company has requested a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a rent -a -car business, which they refer to as a "replacement" vehicle operation. They rent cars to people who need a "replacement" vehicle while their vehicle is being repaired due to an accident or mechanical failure. The facility would be located in an existing vacant structure. The applicant proposes to remodel the structure to contain offices, a waiting area, service area, a break room and bathrooms, for a total of 1,800 square feet. The applicant is also proposing to add a 625 square foot car prep area which would be structurally detached from the existing building, although linked with an enclosed trash area. The trash area would be accessible by two gates and the car prep area by two garage doors on the south side and a service door on the west side. The existing lighting presently on site would be utilized with no modifications. The hours of operation would be from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon on Saturdays. The business would employ seven to eight employees. The property is zoned 'C -21, general commercial district. A rental car facility is a permitted use in a general commercial district with a conditional use permit. Recommended Motion: Approve the conditional use permit with the following stipulations: 1. That the proposed facility and particularly the car prep structure meet city building and safety code requirements. 2. That the trash area be relocated or the prep area structure must be moved eastward 5 feet. The city zoning ordinance requires accessory buildings be at least 5 feet from the principal building, and the trash enclosure as designed is considered to be a part of the principal building. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The proposal meets the city parking requirements, and with the adjustment of the trash area or car prep area, will meet setback requirements. 2. The City Building Inspector has recommended that the prep building meet building and plumbing code requirements to catch grease and sand, and that the energy code be met for heating and ventilation. f-;14 Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City Council may deny the conditional use permit if a finding of fact determines that the proposal would have an adverse impact on the surrounding neighborhood. 2. The City Council may continue the hearing until all previously referenced stipulations are met. Discussion /Decision Mode: Notice of the hearing was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the property. Legal notice was published in the Sun Current Newspaper.

The type of business we engage in is referred to as the "replacement" rent -a -car business. Our business is with people such as yourself who live /work in the community- - not the business /vacation traveler. We rent cars to people who need a "replacement" car while their car is in the shop due to an accident or mechanical failure. Enterprise Rent -a -Car has been in this business for 32 years with locations here in the Twin Cities for the last two years. Our customers come to us without a car so customer parking space needs are clearly minimal. We offer free pickup of the customer or delivery of the vehicle at no charge as a part of our service. We operate our business from 8 -6:00 Monday through Friday and 9 -12:00 on Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays and holidays. We anticipate a need for approximately 7 -8 employees to operate this branch. Enterprise Rent -a -Car is very anxious to do whatever is necessary to obtain the Conditional Use Permit. Please feel free to contact me if any questions arise while reviewing our application. I can be reached at 488 -8818. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Patricia A.

Background: Total Petroleum, located at 7645 Lyndale Avenue, has requested the granting of a conditional use permit to allow expanded retail sales (food and beverage coolers, reach in freezer units, snack and beverage center); a new detached accessory drive -thru car wash facility on the northern portion of the property; and a reduction in the size of the existing building from approximately 2,088 square feet to 1,176 square feet. The public hearing was scheduled for the April 24, 1989 City Council meeting. However, the applicant has requested that the hearing be continued to the May 8, 1989 City Council meeting. Recommended Motion: Continue the conditional use permit hearing for 7645 Lyndale Avenue to the May 8, 1989 City Council meeting. Basis of Recommendation: Applicant wishes to collect additional information concerning the proposal before presenting the case to the City Council. Decision Mode: Because the notice of public hearing was published in the official newspaper, this item has has been placed on the April 24 City Council agenda for continuance. Respectf lly submitted, Jame . Prosser City anager 7fi-1 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 95 Agenda April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: Purchase in excess of $5,000 for Caterpillar 950E Rubber Tired Wheel Loader. Background: In recent months evaluation of the motor pool has indicated that many of the larger pieces of equipment purchased years ago were put in the motor pool on a depreciation schedule that was too long. Our large rubber tired loaders are an example of this problem. Purchased in.the mid '70's, they are set up on a 20 year depreciation schedule. Most communities keep this kind of equipment for five to ten years. At this time, we have the opportunity to join with Hennepin County and several other cities in a joint purchase for this equipment under the Hennepin County bid process. This equipment is no longer reliable for its intended use and requires replacement. Hennepin County has bid the loaders two ways: New machines with a guaranteed maintenance warranty and guaranteed five year buy back; and used machines (less than 500 hours of use) with full guarantee identical to a new machine. Ziegler was the only bidder willing to guarantee their machines as specified by the County. The bids were as follows: New Used Caterpillar 950E articulated 4WD loader $111,660 $102,660 Option #1 - Craig plow and wing $ 23,959 $ 23,959 Option #2 - Grapple fork $ 12,106 $ 12,106 Option #3 - Straight fork lift $ 4,615 $ 4,615 Option #4 - Special paint $ 2,800 $ 2,800 Staff looked at one of the used machines presently being leased by Metropolitan Airport Commission and found it to be in excellent condition with less than 400 hours of use on it, as discussed in Council Memo No. 9 dated March 23. We had planned to budget for this replacement and funds are available in the garage fund. Recommended Motion: Approve the purchase of a used Caterpillar 950E with Option #1, Craig plow and wing, for $126,619 through Hennepin County Contract #9648 to replace existing Unit #212, a 1975 Caterpiller 930 with plow, wing and backhoe even though this unit is not fully depreciated on a 20 year schedule. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Originally our loaders as well as some of our other large pieces of equipment were put in the motor pool on a depreciation schedule that is too long to be practical and this is an excellent opportunity to begin an accelerated program for replacing them. 2. Unit 212, a 930 loader has always been a little under powered. A 950 is more suitable for heavy plowing. Unit 212 has a backhoe attachment which has not been used since the Water Department bought a new backhoe a couple of years ago. This unit still has the old style Balderson plow and wing which we have replaced with the more efficient Craig equipment on our other loaders. 3. This is Hennepin County's first attempt to bid heavy equipment in conjunction with other municipalities and the prices, especially on the used equipment, are very good. Staff feels opportunity to purchase equipment of this quality and with comparable guarantees will never be better. 4. Ziegler has an excellent reputation for quality of their machines and their back up service. Alternative Recommendation: Reject the bid and go out on our own next year for bids on a loader replacement. Discussion /Decision Mode: The advantage of accepting this bid would be the acceleration of the process to replace our large, older equipment. This process will take the next several years and the sooner we can start this program, the better. Respectfully submitted, JameInager Prosser City JDP /eja M-1 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 94 Agenda April 24, 1989 Issue Statement: Purchase of mowers in excess of $5,000. 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 approved Central Garage Budget contains $24,000 for mowing equipment to replace fully depreciated Units #279 and Unit #254. These units are no longer reliable and require replacement. Staff obtained quotes on mowing attachments for two of our sidewalk plowing units, the MT Trackless and the Holder, in an attempt to make these units more versatile and allow us to use them year round. Since these attachments are specifically designed for these units and can only be purchased from the vendors who sell MT and Holder, we could not get comparable bids. The quotes were as follows: MacQueen Equipment - Series V 120" rotary mower with turf tires to fit MT Trackless $ 7,797 Triumph, off set, rotary guard rail mower to fit MT Trackless $ 5,110 TOTAL $12,907 Less Trade -in of Advance Sweeper Unit #254 $ 2,500 TOTAL $10,407 Boyum Equipment - 63" offset flail mower with linkage and 3 pt. hitch to fit Holder tractor $11,909 Recommended Motion: Purchase the above mowing attachments from MacQueen Equipment for $10,407 and Boyum Equipment for $11,909. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The purchase of this equipment would allow us to get year - round use of these sidewalk tractors. 2. Both vendors are reliable and are the only source for these particular attachments. 3. Sufficient funding is available. 7A- 2JV Alternative Recommendation: Council may choose to reject the quotations and direct staff to obtain quotes on standard equipment. However, if we purchase independent mowing units as replacements we will continue to have limited use of sidewalk tractors during the summer months. Staff believes the proposed equipment purchase will, more fully meet our needs. Discussion /Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for the meeting. Staff is requesting facilitate timely delivery.

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 and 1988. However, in 1989, the National Arbor Day Foundation requires a proclamation for recertification. Recommended Action: Present the proclamation designating April 28, 1989 as Arbor Day and May, 1989 as Arbor Month in the City of Richfield to Don Fondrick, Director Community Services. 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 1989. Alternative Action: None.

Background: On May 1, 1989 at 7:00 p.m., the Richfield Board of Review will convene to conduct its annual business. The Board of Review will consist of City Council Members and two resident experts appointed by the City Council, Mr. Lawrence Emond and Mr. John Janski. The April 27, 1989, Study Session will focus on the methods of property appraisal used by Hennepin County appraisers. In addition, Hennepin County Principal Property Appraiser, Larry Miller, will review the types of appeals which may come before the 1989 Board of Review. Attached is a brief synopsis of the duties and responsibilities of Local Boards of Review, some data indicating Richfield home values, and sample property comparisons which will be explained at the Study Session. Recommended Motion: None Alternative Recommendation: The City Council could conduct the Board of Review without the preliminary information. Discussion /Decision Mode: This Study Session is timely in preparing City Council Members for the May 1, 1989 meeting. Respectfully submitted, Jame D. Prosser City anager JDP : e j a C DATE: 8/88 SECTION: 4123 PAGE: 1 SUMMARY Minnesota Statutes, Section 274.01 provides that the town board of each township and the governing body of cities shall be the board of review. The board is to review the assessment and classification of property in their township. The county assessor sets the dates for boards of review to meet in his county. He must notify the clerk of the various dates on or before February 15 each year. The meetings are held between April 1 and May 31. DUTIES OF LOCAL BOARDS OF REVIEW 1. See that all taxable property in the township is properly assessed, valued and classified. 2. If any property has been omitted, the board must correct the assessment by adding it to the list of assessments along with its market value. 3. The assessments of each description of real property consisting of land and buildings are reviewed by the board. 4. The assessments of personal property are likewise within the board's jurisdiction. Personal property is now limited to mobile homes, structures on leased public lands and railroad operating rights -of -way and leased buildings located on land owned by the occupant and used for purposes of a homestead. So be sure to note the board may give consideration to both valuation and classification of real and personal property. 5. The authority of the local board extends over the individual assessments of real and personal property. The board can't increase or decrease by percentage all of the assessments in the district of a given class of property. Changes in the aggregate assessments by classes are made by the county board of equalization. 6. Although the local board of review has the authority to increase or reduce individual assessments, the total of such adjustments must not. reduce the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor by more than one percent of said aggregate assessment. If the total of such adjustments does lower the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments will be allowed. This limitation doesn't apply, however, to the correction of clerical errors or to the removal of duplicate assessments. 7. The local board of review doesn't have the authority in any year to reopen former assessments on which taxes are due and payable. The board considers only the assessments that are in process in the current year. Occasionally a taxpayer may appear with a tax statement and protest the taxes or assessment of the previous year. The board should explain tactfully that it has not authority to consider such matters. After taxes have been extended, adjustment can be made only by the process of application for abatement or by legal action. SP:100 SS - ) SS-3 DATE: 8/88 SECTION: 4123 PAGE: 2 8. In reviewing the individual assessments, the board may find instances of undervaluation. Before the board raises the market value of property, it must notify the owner. The law doesn't prescribe any particular form of notice except that the person whose property is to be increased in assessment must be notified of the intent of the board to make the increase. The local board of review meetings assure a property owner an opportunity to contest the valuation or classification that has been placed on his property or to contest or to protest any other matter relating to the taxability of his property. The board is required to review the matter and make any corrections that it deems just. 9. When a local board of review convenes, it is necessary that a majority of the members be in attendance in order that any valid action may be taken. The local assessor is required by law to be present with his assessment books and papers. He is required also to take part in the proceedings but has no vote. In addition to the local assessor, the county assessor or one of his assistants is required to attend. The board should ask the local assessor and county assessor to present any tables that have been prepared, making comparisons of the cur- rent assessments in the district. The county assessor is required to have maps and tables relating particularly to land values for the guidance of boards of review. Comparisons should be presented of assessments of types of property with previous years and with other assessment districts in the same county. 10. It is the primary duty of each board of review to examine the assessment record to see that all taxable property in the assessment district has been properly placed upon the list and valued by the assessor. In case any property, either real or personal, has been omitted, the board has the duty of making the assess - ment. 11. The complaints and objections of taxpayers who feel aggrieved with any assessments for the current year should be considered very carefully by the board. Such assessments must be reviewed in detail and the board has authority to make corrections it deems to be just. The board may adjourn from day to day until all cases have been heard. If complaints are received after the adjournment of the board of review, concerning changes made after the board of review, these shall be heard and determined by the county board of equalization. 12. A nonresident may file written objections to his assessment with the county assessor prior to the meeting of the board of review. Such objections must be presented to the board for consideration while it is in session. 13. Before adjourning, the board of review should prepare an official list of the changes. The law requires that the changes be listed on a separate form which is appended to the assessment book. The assessments of omitted property must be listed in detail with their market values. All assessments that have been increased or decreased should be shown as prescribed in the form along with their market values. After the changes have been completed, the record should be signed and dated by the members of the board of review. The changes listed in the proceedings should be entered in the assessment book by the county assessor. SP:100 DATE: 8/88 SS-1 SECTION: 4123 PAGE: 3 INFORMATION FOR LOCAL BOARDS OF REVIEW The board of review, unless a longer period is approved by the Commissioner of Revenue, must complete its work and adjourn within twenty days from the time of convening specified in the notice of the clerk. No action taken subsequent to such date shall be valid. A request for additional time in order to complete the work of the board of review must be addressed to the Commissioner of Revenue in writing. The commissioner's approval is necessary to legalize any procedure subsequent to the expiration of the twenty day period. The Commissioner of Revenue will not, however, extend the time for local boards of review to meet past the time county boards of equalization convene in June. If a person fails to appear in person, by counsel, or by written communication before the board after being duly notified by the board's intent to raise the assessment of his property, or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to apply for a review of the assessment or classification, he may not appear before the county board of equalization for a review of his assessment or classification, except when an assessment was made subsequent to the meeting of the board or that he can establish that he did not receive notice of his market value at least five days before the local board of review meeting. All real property subject to taxation shall be listed and at least one - fourth of the parcels listed shall be appraised each year with reference to their value on January 2 preceding the assessment so that each parcel shall be reappraised at maximum inter- vals of four years. All real property becoming taxable in any year shall be listed with reference to its value on January 2 of that year. LOCAL ASSESSOR - - The duty of the duly appointed local assessor shall be to view and appraise the value of all property as provided by law, but all the book work shall be done by the county assessor, or his assistants, and the value of all property subject to assessment and taxation shall be determined by the county assessor. COUNTY ASSESSOR - - The county assessor makes all assessments based upon the appraised values reported to him by the local assessors or his assistants and his own knowledge of the value of the property assessed. He must personally view and deter- mine the value of any property which because of its type or character may be difficult for the local assessor to appraise. The county assessor is to make all changes ordered by the local boards of review relative to the assessed value of the property of any individual, firm or corporation after notice has been given and hearings held as provided by law.
