Background: At the November 7, 1988 council study session, council members reviewed the procedures and staff recommendations for provision of legal services beginning in 1989. The staff is recommending that the LeFevere, Lefler firm be retained for corporate legal services, and that the firm of Peterson, Bell and Converse be retained for prosecution services. Recommended Motion: Authorize the City Manager to prepare and execute retainer agreements with John Dean of the LeFevere, Lefler firm for general corporate legal services, and with Martin Costello of the Peterson, Bell, Converse firm for the provision of prosecution services. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Proposals for both corporate and prosecution have been received and reviewed. 2. It is the opinion of the city staff that the two firms recommended are the most qualified to provide legal services to the city. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Not authorize preparation of these documents. Decision Mode This item has been placed on the November 14, 1988 City Council agenda for action so that retainer agreements may be in place beginning in January, 1989. Respectfully submitted, Ja e D. Prosser Ci Manager JDP /eja CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 280 November 14, 1988 Agenda Issue Statement: 1_,�4/�1 Off- street parking permit at 6511 Cedar Avenue South. Background- Mr. Ron Ryan of R. J. Ryan Construction, Inc. has requested an off - street parking permit for 6511 Cedar Avenue South. Ryan recently purchased the building which was previously used for a retail business. The existing 1380 sq. ft. building would be remodeled for five employee office. The basement of the building would be used for storage. The front yard setback is 25 feet instead of the required 40 feet. Therefore, the building is legally nonconforming. All other setbacks meet city requirements. The property is zoned C -2 general commercial district. The proposed office use is permitted in a C -2 district. Ordinance Requirement: 1. Section 800 of the Richfield City Code indicates the regulations for parking areas. 2. Section 520.13, subdivision 3, indicates the setback requirements in a C -2 district. Recommendation: Approve the off- street parking permit at 6511 Cedar Avenue south with the following stipulations: 1. The three parking spaces in front of the building be designated for customer parking only and such spaces be installed and maintained for 30 degree angle parking. 2. If additional parking becomes necessary, the rear yard should be utilized but only if improved to City standards. 3. A cash escrow should be provided in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of the incomplete parking lot improvements, including landscaping, and such amount should be held for one year to ensure the viability of the landscaping. Such escrow should be submitted before an occupancy permit is granted. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The building has been used for retail and fewer parking spaces would be required for office use. The required eight parking spaces would be met by providing three angular spaces in front of the building and five along the driveway located adjacent to the south property line. Should additional parking become necessary in the future, the rear yard is open and available for parking lot development. . 2. The existing traffic circulation in front of the building appears unsafe due to the fact that a car would have to back straight out into Cedar Avenue. The driving isle width in front of the building is inadequate. However, reducing the number of parking spaces from five with straight in parking to three with angular parking would improve the situation. 3. The existing blacktop area does not have perimeter curbing but the changes on the site are minimal. Perimeter curbing for the parking area should be required when the parking area is extended into the rear yard. 4. The existing curb cut in front of the building is almost 45 feet which is required by the front yard parking layout. No change is proposed. 5. The applicant proposes to provide two 6 foot spruce trees and twelve 24 inch junipers in front of the building. The proposed landscaping would enhance the aesthetic appearance of the building. To ensure planting and maintenance of the landscaping, a cash escrow consistent with present City policy regarding on site improvements, is necessary. 6. The applicant has submitted a drainage plan which is acceptable to the city. Alternative Recommendation: Deny the off - street parking permit. The denial would be based on the following: 1. The proposed parking in front of the building does not meet the City guidelines for driving isle width and creates an unsafe condition. However, staff does not have any evidence of traffic accidents on the site. 2. The parking area, without perimeter curbing, is contrary to City requirements for new parking areas. Discussion /Decision Mode: This item is placed on the agenda for council action at 7 P.M., Monday, November 14, 1988. No public hearing is required.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 275 Agenda November 14, 1988 Issue Statement: First reading of an ordinance to amend the City code to prohibit the parking of utility trailers in front and side yards. Background: The Public Safety Department has received complaints of one or two instances where utility trailers have been parked for long periods of time (months) in the front of a home or in side yards which has disturbed neighbors. The issues are: - Trailers of this nature can be unsightly. - City ordinances do not specifically address the issue. The ordinance regulates trailers, but is preceded by a discussion on trucks and tractor trailers. The City Attorney is hesitant to interpret the current ordinance to include trailers of this nature. (Ref: City ord. 1320.03 attached). - City ordinance 1305.27, Subd. 5 Prohibits parking of motor vehicles in front yards except in driveways. Motor vehicles are defined as self propelled which excludes utility trailers. - City ordinance 1325 deals with recreational vehicles and they are restricted to parking in: a. Rear or side yard. b. Not closer than three (3) feet of a building. C. On an established driveway and not closer than twelve (12) feet of the curb line. d. Can be stored anywhere on a lot for not more than 48 hours. At the November 7 Council Workshop the Council discussed certain alternatives to this problem. The Council directed staff to include utility trailers in the definition section of the recreational vehicle ordinance (Sect. 1325.03). By doing this, utility trailers would have to comply with parking requirements identical to recreational vehicles. - May park on any rear or side yard except the side yard of a corner lot. - Not closer than three feet to any building or structure, including fence. - In an established driveway, but not closer than three feet to any structure and not closer than twelve (12) feet to the curb line. Must not be in a state of disrepair. Slip on campers can be stored in the same manner as recreational vehicles. In a further review of the ordinance, it was discovered that RV's could be stored on property without having a current license. Section 1325.11 was added to the proposed ordinance amendment to cover this issue. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of an amendment to the City code to prohibit the parking of utility trailers in front and side yards. Alternative Recommendations: 1. The Council could elect not to do anything which would leave the situation as is, no specific regulations as to where these vehicles can or cannot park. 2. The Council could direct staff to prepare an ordinance which prohibits utility trailers anywhere in a residential neighborhood. This would be an extreme and highly controversial. 3. Council could direct staff to prepare an ordinance amendment that would prohibit utility trailers from parking on any front yards except established driveways. This approach probably would not accomplish anything. Discussion /Decision Mode: This item has been placed on the November 14 City Council agenda for first reading, and scheduling of the public hearing and second reading. Respectfully submitted, James D. Prosser City Manager JDP:sae Richfield City Code Section 1320. Parking: outside storage. 1320.01 1320.01. Declaration of nuisance. The outside parking or outside storage, on or near residence district properties, or vehicles, materials, supplies or equipment not customarily used or needed for use in connection with the occupan- cy of residential property for residence purposes, is found to create a nuisance and detrimental influence upon the public health, safety, prosperity, good order and general welfare in such district, including obstruction of view on streets and on private properties, bringing unhealthful and noisome odors and materials - into residential neighborhoods, creating a cluttered and otherwise unsightly areas, preventing the full use of residential streets for residential parking, introducing commercial advertising signs into areas where commercial advertising signs are otherwise prohibited, and otherwise adversely affecting residential property values and neighborhood patterns. 1320.03.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 274 Agenda November 14, 1988 Issue Statement: First reading of an ordinance amending CATV Relief Ordinance 1985 -12; consideration of a resolution Approving a Settlement with the Grantee under the City's Cable Communications Franchise, the Stipulation of Settlement and Release, and the Amendment to the Performance Agreement. Background: Rogers Communications, Inc. has agreed to sell all interests and holdings in its U.S. cable systems to KBL Cable, Inc., a Texas corporation. The transfer from Rogers to KBL Cable shall be effectuated through the transfer of the controlling stock interest in the RCA Cablesystems Holding Co., the parent corporation of the Grantee. The City previously granted relief to Rogers under the CATV Relief Ordinance 1985 -12. Rogers has requested that this relief be extended to the new owners. A Stipulation of Settlement with Rogers and Grantee, Exhibit A ( "Stipulation ") and a Resolution of Approval of Settlement, Exhibit B ( "Resolution "), are attached. The Stipulation and Resolution provide a description of requirements and conditions and are made part of this ordinance by reference. The ordinance will be effective only if the Stipulation and Resolution are satisfied and the Proposed Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this ordinance as part of its acceptance of the transfer of the ownership. Recommended Motion: Approve the resolution approving a settlement with the grantee under the city's cable communications franchise, the Stipulation of settlement and release, and the Amendment to the Performance Agreement; approve first reading of an ordinance amending CATV Relief Ordinance 1985 -12, and schedule the public hearing and second reading consideration for November 28, 1988. Basis for Recommendation: 1. The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission has reviewed this request and has recommended extending certain portions of the CATV Relief Ordinance to the new owner. 2. Approval of the Settlement Resolution, Stipulation of Settlement and Release, and the Amendment to the Performance Agreement is necessary to effectuate the ordinance. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Not approve the documents. However, the SWSCC has recommended their approval, and no action may result in a delay in the sale of the cable company. Discussion /Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for Council action at the November 14, 1988 City Council meeting. Respectfully submitted, James Yager rosser City JDP /eja T i( -/ ?-f . or.,-<.

AM2 10/19/88 "-r / CITY OF RICHFIELD,MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 273 Agenda, November 14, 1988 Issue Statement: Second Reading Public Hearing of an ordinance amending the City code relating to the parking of truck- tractors, semi - trailers, truck - tractors /semi - trailer combinations and trucks. Background: At the October 10, 1988, Council meeting first reading of an ordinance which would restrict the parking of certain types of trucks was approved by the City Council and forwarded to the Planning Commission prior to second reading. The Ordinance Amendment: - Provides a definition of truck - tractor, semi - trailer, truck - tractor /semi- trailer combination and trucks. These definitions are similar to those found in State statutes. - Restricts the parking of these vehicles in virtually all zoning districts with some exceptions: they may park during construction; they may park up to 12 hours for loading and unloading; may be parked while for sale or lease by a motor vehicle dealer; may park during paper recycling or similar activities by non - profit organizations; and by businesses operated in Richfield that use vehicles of this nature in connection with their business. PUD districts have been excluded from the proposed amendment not because the restrictions are inappropriate within such districts, but because the City Attorney believes there is sufficient reference in the PUD ordinance which incorporates these restrictions into it. - Does not allow these vehicles to: park in a right -of- way; obstruct visibility; interfere with emergency vehicles or; park within 150 feet of residential property. Section 515.67 of the ordinance deals both with areas of the City which are zoned residential, but not used for residential purposes, and with situations where the property is used for such purposes. At the October 25 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended enactment of this ordinance. They did suggest that vehicles of this nature be permitted to park in commercial and industrial districts, provided they are used in connection with the business. Recommended Motion: Approve second reading of an ordinance restricting the parking of truck- tractors, semi - trailers, truck- tractor /semi - trailer combinations and trucks within all zoning districts of the City. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Staff and Council have received several complaints on this issue. Allowed to continue unchecked, these problems would not be resolved and more truck parking might occur. 2. With the deregulation of the trucking industry, truck farms have gone out of business and many independent truckers have surfaced. 3. With trucks parked all over the City, our community could become unsightly. 4. Parking of trucks in commercial areas can be a nuisance. If the number of truck parking in these areas increases developing an ordinance may become more difficult in the future. Alternative Recommendation: - Do nothing, allow current ordinances to deal with the issue. This would only apply to residential neighborhoods and C -1 districts. - Redraft the ordinance restricting the parking on City and School properties. This would allow trucks to park on commercially owned property with no restrictions. Discussion /Decision Mode: The public hearing to consider the ordinance is scheduled for November 14, 1988. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Richfield Sun newspaper. Respectf lly submitted, Jame Prosser City nager JDP:sae ?I- % °<�_.

Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield this day of , 1988. Steven J. Quam, Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber, City Clerk 00550D15.E14 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 272 November 14, 1988 Issue Statement: Public hearing on the Hearing Examiner's denial of the variance request at 7501 Fremont Avenue South. Background- Mr. Peter Strot has requested a rear yard setback variance at 7501 Fremont Avenue South. The granting of the variance would allow the construction of a 30 foot x 16 foot deck to the existing attached garage. There is a single family dwelling with an attached garage. The existing rear yard setback is only 23 feet which is less than the required 25 foot setback. The construction of the deck would further reduce the setback to 7 feet. All other setbacks meet the city requirements. On October 11, 1988, the Hearing Examiner denied the variance request. The property is zoned single family 'R' residence district. The existing single family structure is nonconforming. Ordinance Requirement: 1. Section 515.11, subdivision 1(a), indicates that the rear yard setback in 'R' district be 25 feet. 2. Section 510.05, subdivision 4, indicates that a nonconforming structure may be expanded if the expansion meets all applicable city ordinance requirements. 3. Section 545.01 thru 545.07 outlines the process of granting variances. Recommendation: Deny the rear yard setback variance request at 7501 Fremont Avenue South. Basis of Recommendation: 1. Reasonable use of the property could be continued without the variance. The variance is not necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. 2. No unique circumstances exist on the site. Although the site is irregular in shape, it is larger than most single family lots in the neighborhood. It is staff's opinion that the applicant has failed to provide conclusive evidence meeting all the conditions for granting of a variance. Alternative Recbmmendation: Approve the variance request. The site is irregular in shape with the rear lot line being some 41 feet wider than the front lot line. It is also a corner lot with the 75th Street side classified as a streetside side yard. The long axis of the house and garage is parallel to 75th Street. The granting of the variance would not have any substantial negative impact on the welfare of the residents or character of the neighborhood. Discussion /Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 14, 1988. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue. Written notice was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site. Legal notice was also published. Respectful submitted, James U Prosser City Manager JDP:sae FREMONT "E.

A. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. Notice of public hearing was proper. Notice was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site in question as required by city ordinances. The ten day notice requirement was also met. 2. The street address and legal descriptions of the property in question are as follows: Lot 26, Block 20, Irwin Shores Street Address: 7501 Fremont Avenue South 3. The zoning of the site in question is single family 'R' residence district. 4. The variance requested is to reduce the existing rear yard setback from 23 feet to 7 feet. The required rear yard setback is 25 feet. 5. The reason for the request is to allow the construction of a of a 16 foot x 30 foot deck attached to the garage. Telephone 869 -7521 (612) An Equal Opportunity Employer 7501 Fremont Avenue South 14 B. CONCLUSIONS Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, subdivision 6 provides for the granting of variance to the literal provisions of the zoning regulations in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship to the owners of the property under consideration. In determining whether to grant or deny the requested variance, I specifically make the following conclusions: 1. Is the granting of the variance necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights? I conclude: Granting of the variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. The current use as a sinqle- faQnily residence can be continued without the addition of a deck. 2. Are there special circumstances or conditions affecting the particular land or building referred -to in the application, not caused by the property owner, which are not common to other properties in this or similar districts? I conclude: There are some special conditions af_fectinq the property, in that the house officially fronts on Fremont Avenue, but is actually oriented as though 75th Street were the front street. In either case, the house would be nonconforming, since neither the east nor the south setback is adequate for the required 25' rearyard setback. 3. Will the granting of the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood or locality? I c o n c l u d e: Granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 4. Are there any conditions which must be attached to the granting of the variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent properties? I conclude C.

Background: Richfield Floral and Nursery Inc. has requested a setback variance to allow the construction of a solarium to the existing building at 811 East 66th Street. The 28 foot x 10 foot solarium would reduce the existing setback from 20.16 feet to 10.16 feet on Chicago Avenue. The existing structure does not meet the setback requirements from Chicago Avenue, so is therefore nonconforming. The existing curb cuts do not meet the city's minimum requirement of 26 feet. The applicant does not propose to make any changes in the parking area. On October 11, 1988 the Hearing Examiner denied the variance request. Attached is the Hearing Examiner's decision for your information. The property is zoned C -2, general commercial district. Retail commercial use is permitted in a C -2 district. Ordinance Requirement: 1. Section 510.05, subdivision 4, indicates that a nonconforming structure may be expanded if the expansion meets all applicable city ordinance requirements. 2. Section 520.13 and Section 520.25 indicates that the front yard setback in a C -2 district shall be 40 feet. 3. Section 545.01 thru 545.07 outlines the process of granting variances. Recommendation: Deny the setback variance request at 811 East 66th Street. Basis of Recommendation: Review of the proposal indicates that the request does not meet the city and state standards for granting of the variance. The discussion of the proposal against the city ordinance is outlined in the following: 1. The granting of the variance is not necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights. The operation of the floral shop in the existing facility could continue without the variance. 2. There are no unique circumstances on the site. The site is large enough when compared to other commercial sites in the surrounding neighborhood. The solarium could be built facing 66th Street without the variance. However, construction of a solarium facing 66th Street would not be aesthetically pleasing and would also eliminate a number of parking spaces. 3. The granting of the variance would change the character of the neighborhood to the extent that it would further reduce the landscaped area on the site. Alternative Recommendation: Approve the variance request. established that the denial of hardship to the property owner. Findings of fact must be the variance would cause undue Discussion /Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 14, 1988. The hearing will be held in the City Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue. Notice of the hearing was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the property. Legal notice was also published in the newspaper. Respectfully submitted, James Prosser City fanager JDP:sae C Nip 0C >U OUr. SO.

PROPERTY LOCATION: 811 East 66th Street HEARING EXAMINER: Connie Murray HEARING DATE: October 6, 1988 APPEARANCES: Mr. & Mrs. Wikstrom, Richfield Floral & Nursery, Inc. Patti Haris, Richfield Floral & Nursery, Inc. Nancy Griemann, Richfield Floral & Nursery, Inc. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, the undersigned makes the following findings of fact, conclusions and decisions. A. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. Notice of public hearing was proper. Notice was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the site in question as required by city ordinances. The ten day notice requirement was also met. 2. The street address and legal descriptions of the property in question are as follows: Lot 1 and that part of W 1/2 of lot 2 lying W of the E 10 ft thereof also that part of the E 10 ft of the W 1/2 of lot 2 lying S of the N 10 ft thereof, Block 3, Terrace Gardens Addition Street Address: 811 East 66th Street 3. The zoning of the site in question is C -2 general commercial district. 4. The variance requested would reduce the existing setback from 20 feet to 10 feet. The required building setback is 40 feet. 5. The reason for the request is to allow the construction of a a solarium on the west side of the existing building. Telephone 869 -7521 (612) An Equal Opportunity Employer Richfield Floral & ''•rsery, 811 E. 66th Street B. CONCLUSIONS Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357, subdivision 6 provides for the granting of variance to the literal provisions of the zoning regulations in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship to the owners of the property under consideration. In determining whether to grant or deny the requested variance, I specifically make the following conclusions: 1.. Is the granting of the variance necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights? I conclude: Granting of the variance is not necessary for preservation of substantial property rights. Although the requested solarium might imrove and expand the business, the business could continue to operate as it is now. 2. Are there special circumstances or conditions affecting the particular land or building ref-erred-to in the application, not caused by the property owner, which are not common to other properties in this or similar districts? I conclude: There are no special circumstances not comrnn to other commercial properties. All ccarmercial buildings are affected by the ordinance definition of both street frontages as•a front yard. The property is of adequate size and of basically regular dimensions. 3. Will the granting of the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood or locality? I conclude: Granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 4. Are there any conditions which must be attached to the granting of the variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent properties? I conclude MW C. DECISION Based upon the foregoing, the undersigned determines that the request be denied .

Background: The City of Bloomington has provided animal kennel services for the City of Richfield since 1982. This service has been very satisfactory. The fee structure of the Bloomington kennel is competitive with other alternative kennel facilities in the area. We have also found that the proximity of the kennel to our city is conveniently located for residents who are picking up animals. The kennels' location reduces travel time and costs for our Community Services Officers compared to other alternatives. There is a fee increase in the 1989 contract. The impound fees have increased from $7.50 to $8.00, and the fee for disposal of animals from $7.50 to $15.00. This is the first fee increase since the 1985 agreement. The fee increase was necessary as Bloomington has had veterinary costs increase also. During a 12 month period, approximately 500 animals are impounded and 20 are disposed of. Therefore, animal kennel services will increase approximately $400 in 1989. Recommended Motion: Approve the agreement with the City of Bloomington for the provision of animal kennel services for the year 1989. Basis of Recommendation: The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a professional level of kennel services to Richfield staff and residents. Based upon the proximity, past relationship, and conscientious kennel administration, it is recommended that the City of Richfield continue to contract with the City of Bloomington for animal control services at the new rate. Alternative Recommendation: The council could decide to have Richfield provide its own kennel services. The costs involved in hiring staff to provide the same level of services and administrative support to operate a kennel efficiently and effectively would require a budget increase. Discussion /Decision Mode: The renewal of the agreement between Richfield and the City of Bloomington for the provision of animal kennel services is being presented for council approval. Resp lly submitted, �iT anagt -,r JDP:sae a — — — — "r TM This Agreement executed on the day of , 1988, by and between the City of Bloomington, a municipal corporation, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter called "Bloomington "), and the City of Richfield, a Minnesota municipal corporation (hereinafter called "Richfield "); WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Bloomington has facilities for the impoundment of animals available for the use of Richfield; and WHEREAS, Richfield is desirous of using Bloomington's facilities for the impoundment and storage of animals which are impounded pursuant to the ordinances of Richfield; and WHEREAS, the parties.have agreed on the type of use and manner of use by Richfield of Bloomington' impoundment facilities; NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 1.

That Bloomington shall assume the responsibility for releasing animals, delivered to Bloomington by Richfield Animal Control personnel, to those owners wishing to redeem said animals. V_ —_I­ 3.

City Attorney CITY OF BLOOMINGTON By: Its Mayor By: Its Manager CITY OF RICHFIELD By: Its Mayor By: Its Manager / V CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA. Council Letter No. 26 Agenda November 14, 19889 Issue Statement: Approval of the continuation of the agreement with the City of Bloomington for the provision of inspectional services for Richfield for the year 1989. Background: The City of Bloomington has provided inspectional and enforcement services in the areas of plumbing, heating and air conditioning, food service, forestry and plan check for food services for several years. In evaluating our current services as well as our future needs, it became apparent that several additions needed to be made in our agreement with the City of Bloomington. They are as follows: - Public outdoor swimming pool inspections (apartment buildings, municipal pools, lodging facilities) - Indoor swimming pool inspections (schools, health clubs) - Lodging facility inspections (motel /hotel) It is important to note that Bloomington personnel have responded to complaints received in the past on any public pool (indoor or outdoor) and resolved any problems that may have existed. This service, however, has not been reflected in the contract amount for 1988. Bloomington personnel already routinely inspect lodging facilities for food services, but not the individual lodging units. Richfield's fire division has conducted lodging unit inspections and enforced code violations that were noted. It is the State Health Department's recommendation that these inspections be conducted by a registered environmental health sanitarian who has a more technical background, rather than a member of the City's fire division. The contract amount will increase from $62,750 in 1988 to $70,674 in 1989. This reflects a 4% inflation cost as well as an increased level of services. Recommended Motion: Approve the agreement in the amount of $70,674 with the City of Bloomington for the provision of inspectional and enforcement services for the year 1989. Basis of Recommendation: The City of Bloomington has sufficient resources to provide a professional level of inspectional services to Richfield residents. Annual evaluations of their services has shown that they are providing effective services in a very cost - efficient manner. Alternative Recommendation: The Council could decide to have Richfield provide its own plumbing, heating and air conditioning, food inspection and forestry services. The cost of hiring the staff necessary to provide the same level of services and administrative support would be more than our current expenditures, and would require a budget increase. Discussion /Decision Mode: The renewal of the agreement between Richfield and the City of Bloomington for the provision of inspectional services is being presented for Council approval.

Thus, several municipalities are taking advantage of this excellent opportunity before the contract expires on December 31, 1988. The Divisions in question are working either without work area partitions or have partitions that do not adequately serve the purpose intended. Similarly, the office furniture in these Divisions dates back to 1970 and is not suited to fit the modular office partitions now being considered. The lack of functional partitions and work surfaces prevent staff from working at the most efficient level possible. In some cases, there is simply not adequate work area for each employee to have their own work space; thus, requiring that some areas be shared by employees. Similarly, the offices in the City Manager and Administrative Services area are inadequate to provide convenient storage and access of files and conference areas for some meetings.
