07-13-85 agenda • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI~aY~~SOTA Council Letter No. 221 July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Approval of an application to Hennepin County for Community Development Block Grant Discretionary Funds. Background: The city was recently informed by Hennepin County that there will be an additional $200,000 of Community Development Block Grant Discretionary Funds available. They have requested that communities interested in those funds apply to the County by July 20, 1987. In March of this year the city applied for $123,200 of discretionary funds for two projects. The two projects were housing rehabilitation loans ($55,000) and a shared scattered site acquisition program ($68,200). The county approved $50,000 of funds for the housing rehabilitation loan program, but did not .fund the shared scattered site acquisition project. Staff is seeking authorization to resubmit the shared scattered site acquisition project for consideration for funding for these additional funds. Attached is a copy of the application materials describing this ~I project. The shared scattered site acquisition project would • allow the city to acquire substandard housing, initiate clearance for .new construction and market housing to moderate income households. The shared acquisition project is unique in that it '~I requires a significant cash contribution from the developer at the outset. The developer will contribute $25,000 at the closing between the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the property owner to share in the cost of acquisition. This is equivalent to the value of the land. The developer would recover this contribution when the unit was sold. The $68,200 requested would provide sufficient funds for the acquisition of two properties for redevelopment as single family dwellings. Staff Recommended Motion: Authorize staff to submit the scattered site housing project to Hennepin County for Community Development Block Grant Discretionary Funding. Basis of Recommendation: 1. There is a great need in Richfield is to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing affordable to low and moderate income persons. 2. The project would expand affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income person. 3. The project makes long term improvements when substandard • housing is acquired and cleared. ~%7' • Alternative Recommendation: The alternative recommendation would be to not authorize staff to submit this project for discretionary funding. Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for council consideration on July 13, 1987. The schedule received from the county indicates that action must be taken that night in order to meet the county's July 20th application deadline. Respectfully submitted, Jame D.

Shared Acquisition Project - This scattered site project. provides Richfield and its Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) the opportunity to acquire substandard housing, initiate clearance for new construction, and market housing to moderate income households. The HRA in experienced in implementing scattered site improvement project. .Since 1975, thirty units of housing have been constructed or rehabilitated. Ten additional units were recently completed and sold. During 1987, one house will be sold and two more units will be .started, for sale in 1988. CDBG Year XIII funds have been requested to initiate one additional project that would be underway in 1988 for sale in 1989. Through this process, thirteen "garage" homes have been eliminated, seventeen vacant lots developed, and two units received moderate rehabilitation. Revenues, approximately $1.7 million, primarily CDBG funds, have made these activities possible. However, the ".Shared Acquisition Project" (SAP) is unique. It requires a significant cash contribution from the developer at the outset. It also-requires HUD income limits implemented with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) first time homebuyer financing programs: • Family Size Max. Income Limit 3 $27,350 4 $30,400 5 $32,300 6 $34,200 A sample transaction (two are proposed with the requested discretionary funds) follows: Site Cost Activity ~ Source of Funds 45,000 Acquisition CDBG, Developer 6,000 Relocation (tenant) CDBG 5,000 Clearance CDBG $56,000 The HRA would identify the property, select the developer, relocate the tenant (if applicable), clear the structure, and transfer title to the developer to construct a house and market the completed project to a moderate income purchaser within the specified income limit. • j~~ S • ` The HRA will have contributed $31,000 in COBG funds as follows: $20,000 Acquisition (one property) 6,000 Relocation .5,000 Clearance $31,000 The developer will contribute, at closing between the HRA and the original property owner, $25,000 to share in the cost of .acquisition. This is equivalent to the value of the land. The developer would recover this contribution when the unit was sold. Although the HRA would .not recover any C08G funds directly as a result of this project, the taxing jurisdictions (city, school, county) would benefit by the increase in tax revenue generated as a result of the project. Over a 25 year period, at $1,200 per year in additional property tax revenue, the $31,000 would be distributed. The $1,200 figure is typical given the HRA experience in the past. The budget represented in the application would include administrative expenses related to staff time, legal fees to • develop closing and development documents, and survey and appraisal work. . HUD regulations for acquisition and relocation would be followed. :Nhen appropriate, these sues will be acquired on a voluntary sale basis to reduce relocation costs which otherwise must be paid. Adequate relocation funds are available within the project budget. The greatest need in Richfield is for decent safe and sanitary _ housing affordable to low and moderate income persons. The project will expand affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income persons. The project makes long term improvements ~+vhen substandard hfl using is acquired and cleared since approximately 90 such garage homes exist in Richfield • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 220' Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Approval of an offstreet arkin ermit at 501 West 77th Street. P g P Background: i Mr. LaMettry currently operates LaMettry s collision and aint P business at 500 West 78th Street. He has now purchased the property at 501 West 77 1/2 Street and lans to relocate his P business to that site. II Site improvements being proposed are new blacktop, new perimeter curbin , landsca in alon 77th Street and stri in The i g P g g P g westerly curb cut on 77th Street and the northerly curb cut on Harriet Avenue would be removed. Two on-site catch basins would be added and the grades of the site adjusted so storm water would flow to these catch basins. The site plan shows the 24 foot wide easement along 77th Street for future roadway improvements. Mr. LaMettry is currently negotiating with the city concerning the cost of this easement. The plan indicates that this easement area will be sodded and that other site improvements would not be made on this area. Recommended Motion: Approve the attached resolution approving the layout and design • of the offstreet arkin area for 501 West 7th treet. p g 7 S Basis of Recommendation: 1. The proposed plan meets all offstreet parking design standards with the exception of the minimum-width requirement for driveways for commercial and industrial uses. The curb cuts remaining on the site are existing curb cuts which are less than 26 feet. The curb cut on 77th Street is 25 feet in width and the curb cut on Harriet Avenue is 16 feet in width.. It is staff's opinion that the curb cut width is sufficient and that no changes be required at this time. Based on the angled parking design and traffic flow on the site the curb cut on Harriet Avenue would be an exit only. The 16 foot width is sufficient to handle the one way traffic flow. The curb cut on 77th Street is only 1 foot less than the required width and in the light of the long term ILN plans to widen 77th Street at some future date, it is staff's opinion that the existing curb cut should be allowed to stay in its present form. 2. The number of parking stalls provided on the site would be less than what city offstreet parking guidelines indicate should be provided for an automobile service type use. City guidelines indicate that automobile service uses should • provided three parking spaces for every service bay plus one space for every employee. The proposed facility would have 12 bays and eight employees. This would result in 44 • offstreet parking spaces being required. It is staff's opinion that the 23 spaces provided would be sufficient for the proposed use. Mr. LaMettry has indicated that all of the vehicles being worked on would generally be inside the building and not in the offstreet parking spaces. The 23 spaces, therefore, should be sufficient to handle employees and customers coming to the site. 3. The proposal would result in a substantial improvement to the site. However, it would not be consistent with the ultimate goals of the ILN Plan and is also not consistent with the new C-3 zoning district requirements which was recently passed by the council, but which are not in effect yet. The proposal would be an acceptable interim use until redevelopment. Alternative Recommendation: The alternative recommendations are to either approve the offstreet parking permit subject to changes or to deny the offstreet parking permit. Decision Mode: This matter is scheduled for council consideration on July 13, 1987. No public notice is required for council approval of offstreet parking permits. • Respect u11y submitted, Jam D.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI.~~~~SOTA Council Letter No. 219 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Adoption of Resolution approving the adequacy of a Holy Angels Petition; authorizing the execution of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Petitioner and the City of Richfield, and ordering certain fire protection improvements. Background: Attached to this Council Letter is a Resolution authorizing Petition for installation and financing of certain fire protection facilities in the Holy Angels School building, and a Petition for installation and financing of certain fire protection facilities from the Sisters. Of St. Joseph Of Carondelet; and a Resolution of the City Council declaring adequacy of Petition for local improvement. For the past .few years the City has worked with Holy Angels School to bring certain school facilities up to current fire code standards. In that process, fire suppression equipment has been identified for several school facilities, including the school, new gym and boiler plant. The fire protection devices include sprinklers, fire alarms, smoke detectors and other improvements. In an effort to facilitate the installation of the fire suppression equipment, Holy Angels School, through the Sisters Of St. Joseph Of Carondelet, in conjunction with the City, has availed itself of the provisions of MN Statute Chapter 429, .particularly Section 429.031, Subd. 3 to secure the construction and installation of the equipment. The Statute cited authorizes the inclusion of permanent funding for these improvements in conjunction with the City's General Obligation Improvement Bonds of 1987. The total cost of the fire protection improvements shall not exceed the sum of $610,000. The repayment of the amount bonded would take place over a twenty (20) year period. Also included is a copy of the Memorandum Of Agreement between the City of Richfield and the Sisters Of St. Joseph Of Carondelet, St. Paul Province. The Agreement provides for procedures to be implemented for the planning, construction and payment of costs related to the improvements. Additionally, the Agreement provides for the Academy Of The Holy Angels to idemnify and hold the City harmless through any claims or actions resulting from the construction of these improvements. The Resolution. which is before the City Council for consideration provides for accepting the Sisters Of St. Joseph Petition and to execute the Memorandum of Agreement attached to the Petition on behalf of the City. Recommended Motion: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution declaring adequacy of petition for local improvement. Basis Of Recommendation: 1. The Fire Division has spent a great deal of time working with representatives of Holy Angels School to attempt to bring the School facilities up to fire code standards. This Petition would accomplish that goal. 2. MN Statute 429.031 provides the legal basis for a Petition for certain fire protection equipment by qualified school facilities. 3. The procedure has been reviewed by the City Attorney and found to conform with MN Statute 429.031. 4. Without the Special Assessment process, it is likely that the fire protection improvements for Holy Angels School would be further delayed. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City Council could decide not to approve the Petition. Discussion/Decision Mode: Action on this item should take place on July 13, so that staff may proceed with a Special Assessment Bond sale for 1987 sometime in late August.

PAUL PROVINCE By .,~~~~t.~% 7-L~~ Its / (Officer) • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI,.~Y~~SOTA Council Letter No. 218 July 13, 1987 ~I Issue Statement: Consideration of revised sign regulations. Background: On April 6, 1987 the City Council conducted a study session on draft sign ordinance revisions. Staff has further refined the ordinance by removing inconsistencies, and redundancies. The following is a summary of the revisions that have been made to the ordinance subsequent to the study session. 1. Section 3.47 Subdivision 1 (Definitions) has been changed as follows I, a. A definition for a banner has been added.(5) b. The definition of flashing traveling and changing message sign has been clarified.(11) c. The definition of on-site direction sign has been amended to allow a business logo or symbol to appear on such a sign. (20) d. The definition of temporary sign has been changed to take out a specific time period from the definition. (39) e. The definition of a wind device has been changed to take ' banners out of that classification. (42) ' • 2. The sign installer license requirements in Section 3.47 Subdivision 3 Paragraph 1 have been changed to indicate that no such license is required for the erection of signs exempt from sign construction permits. ~ 3. The requirements for an annual maintenance permit (Section 3.47 Subdivision 4) have been removed. It was determined that these permits only apply to billboards and not to all signs. 4.. The provisions found in Section 3.48 Subdivision 1 Paragraph 2 dealing with temporary real estate signs have been changed to increase the size of real estate and construction signs in commercial districts from 32 square feet to 64 square feet. Open House signs would now be permitted on the day before an Open House also. A provision has also been added to allow a combination temporary real estate and construction sign which cannot exceed 128 square feet in sign area. 5. Section 3.48, Subdivision 2, paragraph 3 (Neighborhood ~ Business District Requirements) and paragraph 4 (General C~~~u«ercial and Industrial Districts) have been changed by taking window signs out of subparagraph (d) and adding a new subparagraph outlining the specific restrictions on window signs. The total sign area of window signs cannot exceed 30$ of the area of the window that they are attached to or displayed from. 6. Section 3.48, Subdivision 2, paragraph 4 (General Commercial and Industrial Districts) has been changed by adding a new - subparagraph (g) which is the regulations concerning banners, #f~ ~ wind devices, promotional display devices and fixed temporary round si ns. These re ulations were reviousl in Section g g g p Y 3.49, Subdivision 10 but have been relocated to this section so that all regulations are in the district regulations. Section 3.48, Subdivision 2, paragraph 4 is also changed to add a new subparagraph (h) entitled "Off Site Directional Signs". These regulations were previously found in Section 3.49, Subdivision 5, Special Commercial Uses. Again this section has been relocated to get all regulations into the specific district sections. Some of the provisions applicable to these kinds of signs have been .eliminated or changed to provide more updated regulations. 7. The provisions previously found in Section 3.49, Subdivision 3 concerning outdoor advertising displays have been relocated to a new Section 3.48A because they didn't seem to fit the general title of Section 3.49 of construction design location and maintenance of signs. The regulations pertaining to .out door advertising displays remain unchanged. 8. Section 3.49, Subdivision 2, paragraph 1 has been eliminated because these requirements are no longer necessary. 9. Section 3.49, Subdivision 4 has been eliminated, certain provisions have been relocated into the Outdoor Advertising Display regulations found in Section 3.48A. 10. Section 3.49, Subdivisions 11, 12, 13 and 16 have been ~ relocated into Section 3.47, Subdivision 2, sign construction it permit requirements. 11. Section 3.49, Subdivision 14 has been eliminated and certain provisions relocated into Section 3.48A, Outdoor Advertising Displays. 12. The provisions dealing with nonconforming signs found in Section 3.49, Subdivision 1, paragraph 2, have been changed to require that all nonconforming permanent signs be brought into compliance with the new regulations within 5 years. Nonconforming temporary signs would have to be brought into compliance within 60 days. These provisions would not apply to Outdoor Advertising Displays. The Planning. Commission unanimously recommend approval of the new sign regulations with one change. The commission indicated that abandoned signs should be required to be removed. The. attached draft makes abandoned signs prohibited signs in all districts which would require that they be removed. Recommended Motion: Approve first reading of the revised sign ordinance and set August 10, 1987 as the date for second reading and the public hearing. .Basis of Recommendation: 1. The current city sign regulations are outdated, are confusing and difficult to interpret. 2. The current regulations contain many inconsistencies and do not regulate signs in a proper manner. 3. The revised sign regulations have removed the ~iy~ inconsistencies, reorganized the regulations in a manner that is easier to inter ret and understand and re ulate si ns in a g P g manner which would allow businesses to adequately advertise their business while at the same time providing a good image to the community. Alternative Recommendation: The alternative recommendations are to either not pass revised sign regulations or to make appropriate changes to the attached staff recommended sign ordinance and pass a revised ordinance. Decision Mode: This item is scheduled for first reading consideration on July 13, 1987. A public hearing is not required for first reading and no notice has been provided. Notice of the public hearing and second reading will be published in the Richfield Sun Newspaper. A copy of these regulations has been transmitted to the Chamber of Commerce.

OOOOODO1.S40 -23- • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI,~~~~SOTA Council Letter No. 217 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Public Hearing and Second Reading of an Ordinance Proposing an' Amendment to the City Charter regarding Purchases and Contracts. Background: Sections 6.05 and 6.06 of the City Charter address the subject of purchases and contracts. Under the current provisions of 6.05, Purchases and Contracts, the City Manager may make or let a contract for the purchase of merchandise, materials and equipment or any kind of construction work, when the amount of such contract does not exceed $10,000. If such contract exceeds ~ $10,000, but is less than $15,000, it .may be let by the City Manager after first obtaining approval of the City Council. Section 6.05 goes on to say that all other purchases shall be made and all other contracts shall be let by the Council. Section 6.06 entitled Contracts: How Let, indicates that every contract for the sale or purchase of merchandise, materials or equipment or the rental thereof, or for construction, alteration, repair, maintenance of real or personal. property where the amount involved is more than $15,000, shall be let only by the City Council, upon recommendation of the City Manager to the lowest • responsible bidder, unless the Council shall otherwise provide by Resolution, adopted by a majority of the council and published once in the official legal newspaper of the City. i, There are several important considerations which are not now covered in Sections 6.05 and 6.06 which need to be addressed in the immediate future. First, Section 6.05 of the City Charter does not reference rental or lease agreements, purchase of service agreements, or the sale of City material, equipment or supplies. Additionally, the final statement in Section 6.05 makes it confusing as to what kind of routine purchases can be approved administratively by the City .Manager, and which must be approved by the City Council. Under Minnesota Statute 471.345, the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, rental or lease of merchandise, materials or equipment, or the sales thereof, is i covered, thus it would be helpful to have the City Charter language conform to the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law Statute. In addition, while the State Uniform Municipal Contracting Law does not address purchase of services, it is recommended that within the City Charter, contracts for purchase of services be specifically included, so as to clarify exactly where the authority for executing such contracts would lie. Along with the City Charter language, the City also has in place Resolution No. 6847, which directs the City Manager to inform the . City Council of purchases in excess of $5,000, even though the Charter allows the City Manager to make purchases or contracts up to $10,000, without Council approval. The latter Resolution is #/..3 • the reason why purchases in excess of $5,000 are now included under the Consent Calendar. in the City Council Agenda. If the City Council wishes to continue that practice, the Resolution should also be modified to conform with the new Charter language. The attached language drafted. by the City .Attorney's Office attempts to clarify within Section 6..05 the entire scope of purchases and services authority of the City Manager and City Council and includes rental or lease agreements, repair work, purchase of services and sale of City assets and equipment. Section 6.06, entitled Contracts: How Let, would be deleted insofar as all appropriate language would be covered in Section 6.05. Under the proposed Charter language, the authority of the City Manager to let contracts is basically unchanged, in that the City Manager retains the authority to make purchases under $10,000 and purchases between $10,000 and $15,000 may be let by the City Manager after first obtaining approval of the City Council. The real change in the new language of 6.05 is that it clarifies that purchases for personal services, rentals and leases, sale of City property, is all specifically included within the dollar limits established by Charter Provision 6.05. Authority under Section 6.05 has been unclear in the past., making it difficult .for City Administration to be absolutely sure we are • operating under the intent of the City Charter. With the modifications proposed here, the City Charter provisions would conform to the State Uniform Bidding Law, and in fact, be more specific, in that purchases and services would also be covered by the Charter. On May 28, 1987, the Charter Commission considered the proposed ordinance amendment and have forwarded a Transmittal Order to the City Council for consideration. At the June 22, 1987 city council meeting, the city council gave first reading to the proposed ordinance and scheduled second reading and the public hearing for the July 13, 1987 council meeting. Recommended Motion: Approve an amendment to the city charter amending Section 6.05 and deleting Section 6.06. Basis for Recommendation: 1. The current Provision 6.05 and 6.06 of the City Charter concerning purchases and contracts do not totally conform with the Minnesota Uniform Municipal Contracting Law. 2. The City Charter Section 6.05 and 6.0b are unclear with respect to treatment of certain kinds of purchases and contracts, such as rental, personal services, and sale of City assets. 3. It would be advantageous to both the Administration and City ~ Council for there to be a clear understanding by City staff as to the staff's authority in making purchases under the City Charter. 4. The Charter Commission has recommended that the City Council approve this Charter Amendment. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City Council could decide not to amend the Charter. 2. The City Council could propose alternative provisions for City Charter Section 6.05 and 6.06. Discussion/Decision Mode: This matter has been scheduled for consideration on June 22, 1987. Action is requested to allow time for publication and second reading consideration at the July 6, 1987 City Council meeting.

John Hamilton Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber City Clerk - , • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 216 Agenda July. 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Public hearing and second reading consideration of an ordinance amendment to control defacement of public or private property. Background: Recently the police division has had occasion to investigate complaints regarding the placement of graffiti on private buildings. The present city ordinance does not provide for the .prompt cleanup of what clearly should be a public concern. The police division has proposed that the ordinances regulating the posting of notices be revised in order for the city to work with businesses and residents to keep the city free of unwanted graffiti. The suggested changes to Section 4.01, Subd. 16 would add written symbols or markings as prohibited items in this section. Also, it would extend coverage of this subdivision to private property if the owner does not consent to such ostin s or writin s. P g g Amendment of Section 4.01, Subdivision 18 , would provide that the owner or person in control of any private property be required to maintain the property from any condition which constitutes a public nuisance. Section 10.01, Subd. 4 would add number 18 to this ordinance in order to make the improper posting of notices written s mbols or markin s a ublic nuisance. Y g P The presence of graffiti in any form gives an impression of neighborhood indifference and decay. It is in the best interest of the city to require citizens and business establishments to care for their properties so that this impression is avoided. At the June 22, 1987 city council meeting, the city council gave first reading approval to the proposed ordinance amendments and scheduled second reading and the public hearing for the July 13, 1987 city council meeting. Recommended Motion: Approve amendments to Chapter IV, Section. 4.01 and Chapter X, Section 10.01 to allow for a timely resolution of problems that might be caused by the indiscriminate defacement of public or private property with graffiti. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The ordinance amendments would provide a tool to allow the city to effectively combat the unsightly defacement of property within the city by making the posting of written symbols or markings upon private or public structures a public nuisance. • i • Alternative Recommendations: 1. Leave the ordinance unchanged and request the responsible persons that any graffiti be removed as soon as possible. 2. Handle problems created by graffiti on a case by case basis. Discussion/Decision Mode: -The public hearing and second reading of these ordinance amendments have been scheduled for the July 13, 1987 city council agenda.

Second Reading. Background: Chapter XII, Section 12.02 of the city ordinance establishes the salaries of the City Council and provides that these salaries be reviewed by December of each year. It has been the practice in past years to place this item on a city council agenda prior to the time that work begins on the proposed budgets for the next fiscal year, which will occur during the months of June and July, 1987. Council salaries were last adjusted for fiscal year 1986, when the salary of the Mayor was increased from $6,000 to $.6,700 per year; and Council Member salaries-were increased from $4,500 to $5,200 per year. The City Charter stipulates that "No change in salary shall take effect until after the next succeeding election." This means any change in salaries would not take effect until after the November, 1987 election. At the June 8, 1987 city council meeting, the city council gave • first reading approval to an ordinance amendment which would increase council salaries to $5,435 beginning January 1, 1988. The salary of the Mayor would remain unchanged. The council also scheduled the public hearing and second reading for the July 13, 1987 city council meeting. At the June 8, 1987 council meeting, council members also requested that a policy to review council salaries be developed. Attached to this council letter is a policy statement which would provide that each calendar when a municipal election will be held, the council shall establish a revised pay schedule for council members and the mayor. This amount shall be based upon the amount of increase granted to employees generally in the year(s) subsequent to the previous council salary adjustment. The council would then make a determination regarding the salaries. Final determination would be subject to council approval as required by the City Charter which stipulates that council salaries may be adjusted only by ordinance. Motion: 1. Approve or not approve an amendment to Chapter XII Section 12.02 of the Richfield Ordinance Code increasing the salaries of council members from $5,200 to $5,435 per year, effective January 1, 1988. 2. Approve the policy statement relating to pay schedules for the Mayor and Council Members. • Basis for Recommendation: 1. The City Charter stipulates that council member salaries must be reviewed by December of each. 2. The City Charter stipulates that council .member salaries may be adjusted only by ordinance. 3. The Council has requested development of a policy statement • regarding consideration of council salaries. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Not approve the ordinance amendment increasing council salaries. 2. Not approve the policy statement.

John Hamilton Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber City Clerk ~j~ CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI~W~~.~SOTA Council Letter No. 214 July 13, 1987 • Issue Statement: Adoption of a housing maintenance ordinance requiring annual licensing of apartment buildings and rented homes, and requiring certificates of housing code compliance for homes when they are sold.. Background: The objectives of the proposed ordinance are to maintain a safe housing environment for residents and keep Richfield's housing stock from deteriorating. The Public Safety Department has studied the present ordinances and enforcement methods, and determined that: 1. The current housing code requirements do not need to be changed. 2. With the current enforcement procedures, the city is not aware of property maintenance problems until a tenant or neighbor makes a complaint. The recently hired animal control/code enforcement officer is initiating complaints on outside problems which can be seen from the street, but the city does not become aware o.f violations in rear yards and inside a structure until a complaint is received. 3. The department has found that housing code and property • maintenance violations can exist for a long period, and become very serious, before citizens initiate a complaint. The department has .developed the proposed ordinances in order to change the enforcement method to a proactive approach instead of the current reactive method. It will also enable inspectors to routinely check all areas of the property, both inside and outside, for violations.. The department has emphasized that no new or more stringent requirements are in the proposed ordinance. The currently used housing and property maintenance requirements would not be changed. A key feature of the proposed ordinance is that the license fees are designed to fund sufficient personnel to regularly inspect apartment units and rented homes. Experience from communities with similar ordinances shows that the regular inspections will allow the inspectors to find violations before they become serious. When such violations are discovered before they become serious, the problems are less expensive to resolve. Also, better relations between neighbors and tenant/landlord relations can be maintained when they can depend upon the city staff to point out and resolve housing safety and property • maintenance violations. The Public Safety Department has noted that current staffing levels in the Fire and Inspection Divisions are not sufficient to handle the increased inspection activity which would be generated by the new ordinance. ~j~-~ The number and type of personnel recommended to operate the • program were selected to provide an extremely cost-effective housing code enforcement operation, while also increasing the efficiency of current programs in both divisions. Several Richfield apartment building owners are members of the Minnesota Multi-housing Owners Association. Representatives of the association met with Fire Division Commander Coughlin on July 1, 1987 to express the following concerns regarding the ordinance. A summary of the discussion is attached. The city council held first reading of this ordinance on June 22, 1987 and scheduled the public hearing and second reading for the July 13, 1987 council meeting. Recommended Motion: 1. Adopt the housing maintenance ordinance requiring annual licensing of apartment buildings and rented homes, and requiring certificates of housing code compliance for homes when they are sold. 2. The effective date of the ordinance shall be October 1, 1987. 3. Adopt a resolution establishing housing maintenance fees. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The new ordinance will improve our enforcement process, which in our present method of operation does not begin until a property maintenance problem has become quite serious. This will ensure that our residents have a safer environment, that Richfield's housing stock will not deteriorate, and will help maintain better relations between tenants, landlords and their neighbors. 2. Other communities (see exhibit) who have adopted similiar ordinances indicated a positive result. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The council could reject the proposed ordinance and accept the present enforcement program. This would let the present conditions continue, which originally created concern from council members about housing and property maintenance conditions. 2. The council could direct staff to increase inspection activity without a license fee. This would require an increase in the operating budget for the additional personnel. Also, the present ordinances do not allow inspectors to routinely enter apartment units and rented homes, and thus we still could not resolve violations in those units until a tenant or neighbor files a complaint. • 3. The Council could limit the scope of the ordinance by omitting rental homes or apartment buildings or sold homes from the ordinance, and direct staff to adjust the license fees and personnel requirements accordingly. The Public Safety Department analysis of the problem has indicated that all three categories need to be included in the ordinance if the .housing ordinances are to be effectively enforced. , ~j0~~ 4. The frequency of inspections for .rental property could be changed from approximately one year to once every two years: Given our current schedule we will actually inspect about once every 14-18 months. Doubling the inspection frequency to 28- 36 months would significantly reduce the. effectiveness of the Ordinance. Additionally, given the. fixed cost of the 'program, fees would not be reduced. proportionally. Decision/Discussion Mode: The revised housing maintenance ordinance has been submitted for second reading at the July 13, 1987 council meeting. Respectfully submitted, Jame D. Prosser City anager JDP/eja • -~f jD -3 Minnesota Multi-housing Owners Association Summary 1. The .first concern regarded the effective date of the . ordinance and the 6.0 day compliance time. The association .representatives expressed concern that compliance orders might create a financial hardship for owners. Chief Coughlin pointed. out that the ordinance allows the building official to extend the compliance time for justifiable reasons. Examples were given of the Fire and Inspection Divisions' practice of considering economic factors and granting extensions where justified. Such problems which might be created with the new ordinance will be handled in the same manner. 2. The association representatives were also concerned about the period between application and licensing, questioning whether a building owner would be prevented from renting out units until the license was issued. Chief Coughlin reviewed the language with them, showing that units could be rented while waiting for the license inspection and approval. The .only instance where a unit could be prohibited from being rented is one where the city has inspected and found that the .conditions present an imminent hazard to occupants. 3. .Another concern regarded the relationship of the fee revenues to the cost of operating the program. Chief Coughlin described the basis of the cost estimates, and showed that the proposed fees are designed to pay only for the cost of • the program.. No funds would be left to subsidize any other tasks. The cost estimates were made after analyzing data from cities with similar programs. The data indicated that the proposed number of personnel will be necessary to operate the program, and pay for the personnel. Two cities have elected to subsidize their housing maintenance program costs with general revenues and have lower fees for their licenses. 4. The association representatives asked about the frequency of inspections, expressing concern about the workload placed on building managers if they are required to arrange for inspections too frequently. Chief Coughlin noted that inspections would be by appointment in order to allow building managers to schedule sufficient time for them. The inspection frequency will likely be from 14-18 months, but definitely no more frequently than once a year unless a serious hazard is identified.. The Public Safety Department has determined that less frequent inspections would allow violations to become serious before being found. This would com romise the ob'ective of the ro ram which is to catch P J P g problems while they are small and inexpensive to correct. • ~i~-~ • DRAFT `COPY 6-4-87 BILL NO. 1987 - AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER III, PART III OF THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF RICHFIELD CITY OF"RICHFIELD-"DOES ORDAINi Chapter III, Part III of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield entitled "Housing - Health and Sanitation Regulation" is hereby amended in the following respect: I.

FROM: Patrick Coughlin,. Fire Division Commander LL , .SUBJECT: COSTS FOR IMPLEMENTLNG RENTAL LICENSING AND POINT OF l SALE.ORDINANCE Per your request, I have broken down the costs of maintaining an inspection program to enforce the above ordinance, which was reviewed at the April 9th Council study session. The. program. is designed to be self-supporting. No funds from.-the inspection fees will be used to support any other activities. Once the program is underway we will monitor the costs and revenues, and will adjust the fees up or down to reflect our actual costs. The program's total cost is based upon four factors, the number,. of inspections required, the time needed for the inspections, the number of personnel needed to .perform the inspections, and the -level of expertise of the personnel. Each of these factors is discussed below in detail to show how they relate to the cost. Number of Inspections Our estimates of the number of inspections required are based on data supplied by the Community Development Department. They list, 4,575 apartment units, 374 duplexes, and 500 non-homesteaded single family homes in the city. .Home sales in the city have averaged about 500 per year, with a range from 200 to 700. Our inspection experience with current building and fire inspections indicates that-each apartment building and-house will require 1.5 inspections. That is, for every two inspections we perform, one will require that we do a follow-up inspection. For " the apartment unit inspections, we will need. l:2 inspections. 'The annual total number of inspections required to enforce the ordinance will be approximately 7,549 inspections. • ~ 1 h i3' Inspection Time Our estimates of the time required to perform the inspections are based .upon our experience with building and fire inspections. Follow-up inspections take about one third to one fourth the time of initial inspections.. We verified our estimates with the City of St. Zouis Park fire department, which has a licensing program similar to our proposal. Our estimates matched their experienc®. The total hours required for the inspections will be approximately 2,315 hours.. Number of Personnel The number of personnel required to operate the inspection program are based upon the. assumptions that the inspectors, would be devoting.20-30 hours per week to inspections, with the balance used for report writing, filing, training, lunch breaks, etc. Two inspectors will be capable of performing the required inspections in 40-60 weeks, depending upon where, in the weekly range our actual ex erience fall s. P r In addition, a clerical position will be needed to handle correspondence, perform the telephone scheduling for the inspectors, receive and process the .license applications, and maintain the record system. We are proposing that we start with a halftime clerical position for the program start-up, and not go to a full time position unless it is warranted after the program is fully operational. Lever of Extaertise ` The point of sale inspections will require an inspector trained and. experienced in all facets of building and housing codes, including building, electrical, plumbing and heating. This person must be familiar with the full .range of electrical, plumbing and heating devices which ex st, and must be capable of performing a thorough inspection of each system. We will require that the succesful applicant hold a state certificate in building inspection. Also, the person selected will be one with several years of experience in residential inspection, since good judgement is 'required to determine when an older component of any of these systems is likely to be a safety threat. The apartment inspection can be performed by a person trained in basic building inspection requirements. This person would not ' need the level of expertise of the above, as the housing inspector would be available-for consultation on technical problems. 2 • We are proposing that a firefighter working a 40 hour week be assigned to inspect apa~l....ent units. Using a firefighter will give us one more person available for any structure fires during the day.. The. firefighter/inspector would be called to a fire on th r e av e age of once a week, which would not affect the inspection duties that much.. It will, however, provide us with an extra person at a time when it is difficult to get off-duty personnel. The clerical position will not require skills beyond .normal secretarial duties. The specific building and housing code background needed for the position can be taught ors the fob. Program Costs Nearly ail of the program's cost is personnel cost. The annual salaries for the positions were derived from .existing personnel costs. The amounts .reflect the entire cost-of each-position, i.e., salary plus all fringe benefits such as vacaton,'holidays, health and life insurance, pension costs, etc. Also, the amounts are based. upon the salary ranges for experienced personnel.` Housing Inspector $30,00.0.00. Firefighter 40,000.00 Clerical 20,000.00 Administration, ~ • Office Supplies, . Forms,. etc. .20,000.00 TOTAL $110,000.00 Revenues The revenues are based upon the proposed fee schedule on page - four. The schedule considers the time needed per inspection. Inspections for point of sale, apartment building and rented houses will take the most time (about 45 minutes). Therefore, these occupancies have a higher fee than apartment units, which will take less time. s Four attachments are included after page four, which show fees charged by other cities in the metro area for similar programs.. • 3~ ~~~-/`3 • ..r Inspection Fee Schedule for Rental Licensing and...

Council Letter No. 213 Agenda July 13, 1987 ~ / Issue Statement: Second reading and public hearing on the consideration of an ordinance vacating a portion of an alley between 16th Avenue and Bloomington Avenue. Background: ~ Hines and Sons, Inc. and Mt. Calvary Church have petitioned the ' city to vacate the easterly half of a 12 foot alley between Bloomington Avenue and 16th Avenue. The applicant wishes to i construct a three story 15 unit apartment building for the elderly. The vacation of the requested portion of the alley would allow the church building to be structurally connected with the proposed apartment building, thus providing convenient accessibility for the elderly residents to participate in church activities. The vacation of the easterly portion of the alley would provide each of the abutting property owners with an additional 800 square feet of land. The properties abutting the north side of the alley are single family residential uses. Two single family dwellings, the church and a commercial structure, are located south of the alley. Two single family lots (6528 and 6532 16th Avenue) north of the • alley along 16th Avenue are owned by the applicants. South of ' the alley the abutting single family dwelling west of the church is owned by a group of people associated with the church. The existing uses would remain the same except for the two properties I, at 6528 and 6532 16th Avenue which are proposed for the apartment building and parking lot. The single family residential uses on the properties abutting the alley are nonconforming. i The City Council gave first reading to the ordinance vacating a portion of the alley in question on June 22, 1987. A special use permit would be required for the apartment use in a C-2 general commercial district. The applicant intends to apply for a special use permit if the council approves the vacation of the alley. ZOn1riQ Ordinance Reduirement: Section 12.04 (city ordinance), outlines the regulations for vacation of an alley. Staff Recommended Motion: Deny the vacation of the easterly portion of the 12 foot alley located between Bloomington Avenue and 16th Avenue. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The proposed vacation would create a dead end alley. This would make snowplowing and other maintenance activities extremely difficult because trucks .would have -~9-i • to back up approximately 130 feet. This is not acceptable to city maintenance staff, and the Community Services Department has. objected to the vacation of only part of this alley. 2. The existing alley provides access to the single family dwellings and the commercial property abutting the westerly half of the alley. The vacation of part of an alley would create maintenance problems and hinder smooth access to the two garages abutting the alley. 3. Utilities present within the alley are a four inch waterline and two power lines. The water main runs 165 feet east from Bloomington Avenue. Utility easements and maintenance agreements would have to be provided if the vacation is approved. 4. The applicant has failed to secure signatures of the property owners abutting the alley supporting the request. 5. The Planning Com~yission motion to recommend approval of the vacation of the easterly half of the alley failed (7-2). Alternative Recommendation: The City Council may choose to recommend approval of the vacation of the easterly half of the alley between Bloomington Avenue and 16th Avenue. Such an approval would have to be contingent upon • proper access and maintenance agreements being provided. The City would also require utility easements. Discussion/Decision Mode: While the staff and Planning Commission recommendation is to deny the alley vacation, it is necessary for the council to vote on h v tion econd readin and ublic the ordinance granting t o aca S g p hearing on the above request is scheduled for July 13, 1987. Published notice was provided for the public hearing and second reading. Written notice of the public hearing was also provided to the property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.

NTY ROAD N0. 53) 66~H ST E i • CITY OF RICHFIELD,' MI~~LW~SOTA Council Letter No. 212 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Second reading and public hearing on the consideration of an ordinance rezoning the northerly portion of 6528 16th Avenue from 'R' single family residence to 'C-2' general commercial. Background:. Hines and Sons., Inc. and Mt. Calvary Church have petitioned the city to rezone the northerly 20 feet of the lot addressed as 6528 16th Avenue from single family residence 'R' district to C-2 general commercial.. The lot proposed to be rezoned is vacant at the present time. The applicant wishes to construct a three story 15 unit apartment building for the elderly, including auxiliary parking, on the subject lot as well as the adjoining lot and alley. In a separate action, council is also considering a request for vacating portion of the alley between 16th Avenue and Bloomington Avenue. The vacation of the requested portion. of the alley would allow the. church building to be structurally ~ connected with the proposed apartment building, thus providing convenient accessibility for the elderly residents to participate in church activities. The vacation of the easterly portion of the alley would provide each of the abutting property owners with an additional 800 square feet of land. • The properties within 250 feet north of the centerline of West 66th Street are zoned C-2 general commercial all the way from 11th Avenue to Cedar Avenue. The zoning district boundaries in most cases do not. conform with property lines in this area. This results in there being many properties where a portion of a lot is zoned C-2 and the remainder of the lot is zoned 'R' single family residence. The subject property is such a case. The rezoning being requested would result in the total lot being zoned C-2 general commercial. The use of the properties abutting the site is single family residential. Across 16th Avenue is a church school. The single family residential use of the properties abutting the site to the south is nonconforming because the site is zoned C-2 general commercial. The City Council gave first reading to the attached ordinance rezoning the site on June 22, 1987. A special use permit would be required for the apartment use in a C-2 general commercial district. The applicant intends to apply for a special use permit if the council approves the vacation of the alley and the proposed rezoning. • Zoning Ordinance Requirement: 1. Section 3.42, outlines the procedural requirements for rezoning of a property. Staff Recommended Motion: Approve the rezoning of the northerly 20 feet of the lot addressed as 6528 16th Avenue South from "R" single family residence to "C-2" general commercial. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The proposed rezoning would allow the property owner to have a single zoning district classification, i.e. C-2 general commercial, for the said property. 2. The proposed rezoning would not be "spot zoning.". The area to be rezoned C-2 general commercial is contiguous to an existing C-2 general commercial zoning district. 3. An apartment use of low/medium density would create a I~~, buffer between single family residences to the north and west and the more intensive uses along 66th Street. ~ 4. The comprehensive development plan designates the site to be developed as single family residential uses. C-2 general commercial zoning is therefore inconsistent. 5. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning of the northern 20 feet of the • lot addressed as 6528 16th Avenue from "R" single family residence to "C-2" general commercial. Alternative Recommendation: The City Council may deny the rezoning of the portion of the subject property because it is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. However, such an action would maintain the existing condition where a single parcel of land has two zoning designations. ' Discussion/Decision Mode: The public hearing on the ordinance amendment for the rezoning is scheduled for July 13, 1987. Notice of the hearing was published in Richfield Sun Newspaper. Written notice was also provided to the property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Respectfully submitted, James Prosser City pager JDP/sae • ' BILL N0. • ORDINANCE N0.

(Old Mr. Steak location). The 5,200 square foot building would require .minimal change other than adding a separate bar area, refurbishing and upgrading. The restaurant would be a sit down pizzeria serving liquor. The site is located in a C-2 general commercial zoning district. A restaurant serving liquor would. be allowed with a special use permit. The applicant has revised the site plan which indicates a new fence along the westerly property line and also additional lighting in the parking lot. The applicant should provide a plan indicating the design of the fence. Detail lighting plan should also be provided for staff review. and approval. • Some of the residential property owners from the neighborhood expressed opposition to this request at the Planning Commission hearing. The residents stated their belief that a restaurant with full service liquor next to the existing Ground Round restaurant would cause increased traffic, and noise problems in the area. Zoning Ordinance Requirements: 1. Section 3.33, Subdivision 4, outlines the regulations relating to restaurant in C-2 commercial districts. 2. Section 3.32, subdivision 4, indicates the setback requirements in C-2 general commercial districts. 3. Chapter ll of City Ordinance outlines the liquor license requirements. 4. Section 3.41, subdivision 5, outlines the conditions governing the issuance of a special use permit. Staff Recommended Motion: Approve a special use permit for a restaurant serving liquor at 1420 East 78th Street with the following stipulations: 1. The seating capacity in the proposed restaurant not exceed 174. 2. The existing parking island in the parking lot be -landscaped with evergreen shrubberies and four overstory trees be planted along the northern property line. 3. The fence along the property lines be replaced and additional fence be installed along the western property line up to the. "bowling alley" structure. 4. The width of the curb cut be 26 feet. 5. The remodeling of the building meet all the building, fire and .health codes. 6. The proposed location and the design of the sign must meet the sign ordinance at the time when the occupancy permit is issued. 7. Adequate non-obtrusive lighting be installed in the parking lot. 8. All the stipulations must be met prior to the occupancy permit. 9. The applicant should be advised that the issuance of a liquor license is an issue separate from the land use consideration ~ under review. In their case it does appear that the general operational requirements of a liquor license can be met. However, the decision of the council to issue a license is discretionary. Basis of Staff Recommendation: 1. The Planning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend the City Council approval of the special use permit for a restaurant with a bar serving liquor at 1420 East 78th Street and adopting the aforementioned stipulations. 2. The proposed use requires 81 parking spaces for the 174 seats and 23 employees and the site plan indicates 83 parking spaces which is adequate. 3. The Comprehensive Development plan indicates high density freeway strip development use for the site. A restaurant use is permitted in the district, although it would not be considered a high density use. The restaurant appears to meet the general criteria for issuance of a liquor license. 4. The City Council must, consider whether to review the license. for their location, however the license issue is separate from the land use consideration. 5. The abutting properties are commercial, but there is a single family use to the north of the site across 77th Street. It is important that the fence is repaired and the overstory trees are planted to screen the area from residential property. Alternative Recommendation: The City Council may decide to deny the special use permit on the basis that the proposed restaurant use with full liquor license would be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents living in the area. It is staff's opinion that the impact of the proposal would not be significantly different from the old restaurant use. Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled before the City Council at 7:00 PM • on Monday, July 13, 1987. The hearing is scheduled in the Council Chambers, Richfield City Hall. Notice of the hearing has been provided to the residents within 350 feet of the site. • Legal notice of the public hearing was also published in the Richfield Sun Newspaper.

As a 33 year resident at 7645 15th Avenue (directly behind the Ground Round Restaurants xe have had nothing but problems with the current and former tenants at that location. Since xe already have the following problems xe don't want more: 1. Liquor bottles and beer cans thrown the fence to break in the street or in our property. 2. There appears to be tail gate type drinking parties with loud music and fights in the parking lot from early evening to long after closing. 3. Overflow parking in the residential area. 4• We have had to complain numerous times for lack of maintenance orl their fence and boulevard. 5. We hsve called the police several times for drinking aad disturbances in the parking lot at 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. 6.. This type of operation is not catering to a first class dining customer, but to theyoung and irresponsible crowd. We do not think the parking area would be sufficient for this business as xe can alreaady see-that the Ground Round parking is not sufficient. The frontage road is now already filled with overflow parking from the Ground Round. khere will their overflow parking be? In our residential? We do not think it would be an asset to the community. Judging from the clientele of the Ground Round we do not need to attract any more of the loud rowdy crowd. Does Richfield want the reputation of attracting this a _ I Page 2 type of c~..~~3?

City of Richf field 6700 Portland Avenue South Richfield, MN 55423 RE: Special Use Permit at 1420 E. 78th Street (Former location of Mr. Steak) Dear Commissioners: Please register our opposition~to the issuance of a Special Use Permit with a liquor license for the above-described property. We have lived at 7645-14th Avenue South, across from the bowling alley, since February of .1954. We believe two liquor licenses side-by-side would be just too much. The Ground Round patrons at present use the Frontage Road as an overflow parking lot. It would seem to be inevitable that the patrons of a new establishment next door would use 77th Street as their overflow lot. Even with No Parking signs, it will probably be a full-time job for an officer ,to enforce. The physical configuration of the building and parking lot would seem to be conducive to being another "joint" rather than a fine restaurant. The Ground Round often has as much activity in the parking lot after hours as there was inside during regular business hours. "Bar hopping" would be so convenient, that it would be extremely difficult for bartenders and waitresses to monitor the quantity of the drinks of the patrons. Sooner or later, a widening of Interstate 494 seems inevitable. This would result in 77th Street becoming the access to all businesses presently served by the Frontage Road. That would be catastrophic at closing time with side-by-side "joints". There is also the potential of another "restaurant" at 77th Street and 12th Avenue, That is presently "on hold", but eventually something is going in that corner, and it will probably be an establishment that sells some spirits, at least beer and wine, Those of us who live in the first house on the north side of 77th Street, seem to have a special set of problems. Many of us are . ~~.1E C Page Two 3une 18, 1987 City of Richfield Planning Commission. approaching retirement, and possibly plan to move into an apartment, condo, or townhouse. What are. the prospects for selling our homes, with the uncertainty of whether or not they might be razed in a few years? If we had a definite answer as to whether that is to happen, and/or when that is to happen., that would help. Until then, please let us have the relative peace of only one booze joint in that small area. Sincerely, / I ' oseph Martin Shirley A Martin 7645-14th Avenue South Richfield, MN 55423 • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 210 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issued Statement: Public hearing on the request for a special use permit to allow a housecleaning business (home occupation) with outside employees in a single family 'R' residence district. Background: Ann Schoenhofer, Kimberly Poe and Richard Hagstrom have made a request for a special use permit to allow a house cleaning business operation in their rented residence at 7339 Stevens Avenue. The business office would be located at the subject site, but there may be no necessity for an employee to come to the office as employees would be picked up at their homes and transported to the worksite. The operation would involve a maximum of five employees outside employees, although, initially, there would be no outside employees. The property is zoned single family residence 'R' district. A home business with outside employees is permitted in an 'R' district with a special use permit. Written notice of the hearing was provided to the property owners within 350 feet of the site. The property owner of the dwelling has been notified by the city regarding this request. The applicants have received a number of signatures supporting their request. Zoning Ordinance Requirements: 1. Section 3.28, subdivision 14, indicates the performance standards for a home occupation in 'R' district. 2. Section 3.41, outlines the conditions governing the issuance of a special use permit. Staff Recommended Motion: Approve the special use permit for a housecleaning business at 7339 Stevens with the stipulation that the total number of outside employees involved in the business not exceed five in number. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The operation would not require any structural change of the dwelling or the garage. The dwelling meets all the setback requirements. 2. The applicants do not intend to install any advertising signs or devices; therefore, this use would not disrupt the character of the single family neighborhood. 3. It is staff's opinion that the nature of the business is limited and would not create any traffic, parking or noise problems in the area. 4. The Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend the City Council approval of the special use permit with the • stipulation that the total number of outside employees involved in the business would not exceed five. Alternative Recoamnendation: Alternative recommendation would be to deny the special use permit on the basis that the business would have an adverse impact on the residents living in the surrounding neighborhood. However, no evidence has been provided to support this position. Decision Mode: A public hearing on this request is scheduled before the City Council on Monday, July 13, 1987 at 7:00 PM. The hearing will be held at the .Council Chambers of Richfield City Hall. The legal notice of the council hearing was published in the Richfield Sun newspaper. Respectfully submitted, Jam D.

Background: The Burger King restaurant at 140 East 78th Street has applied for a special use permit to allow them to change their drive thru window facility. They wish to add a new cash window at the .rear of the building and to relocate their menu board further east. To do this they would remove curbing at the north side of their building, add a new cash window at the rear of the building and construct a new concrete island for a new menu board. The new cash window would not project beyond the existing rear wall. The changes are being proposed to speed up drive thru service time to more efficiently handle drive thru customers. With the second window, a customer would order at the menu board, drive to the new window, pay for their food and then proceed to the existing drive up window to pick up their food. The site is zoned I General Industrial. The Planning Commission reviewed this matter and unanimously recommended approval of the special use permit with the stipulations listed in the staff recommendation. Zoning Ordinance Requirements 1. Section 3.33, subdivision 2 and 3.34 subdivision indicates that restaurants are permitted by special use permit in I General Industrial zoning districts. 2. .Section 3.33, subdivision 4 indicates the standards for restaurants. 3. Section 3.41, subdivision 5 outlines the conditions for issuance of special use permits. Recommended Motion: Approve thee special use permit to change the drive thru window facility at 140 E. 78th Street with the following stipulations: 1. That the existing gas meter be relocated so as not to project into the drive thru driving lane. 2. That the proposed new concrete island be narrowed to 4 feet east of the new menu board to provide the 12 foot driving aisle on the south side of the new island. 3. That existing curb cuts be widened to meet the current city standard of 26 feet. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The proposed changes will provide more efficient service at the drive thru facility. 2. The proposed changes should not adversely affect traffic on surrounding streets. 3. The improvements would result in better traffic flow on .the site by providing better separation and less conflicts between traffic using the parking lot and traffic using the drive thru facility. The 10 foot drivin aisle south of the new concrete island is g too narrow. It would be difficult for traffic to make the turn into that driving aisle from the existing parking area. A 12 foot driving aisle should be provided. 4. The existing curb cuts into the site do not meet the current city minimum width requirements for curb cuts on commercial property. The curb cuts are 22 to 25 feet wide instead of the required 26 foot wide. 5. There is an existing gas meter on the north side of the building. This meter is currently protected from cars by the curbing north of the building. This curbing will be removed. The applicant should work with Minnegasco to find another location for the meter. The applicant has indicated that there is no other suitable location for the meter and that they would provide posts around the meter to protect it. 6. The site is isolated away from residentially zoned property and therefore would have minimal affect on the surrounding residential area. 7. The restaurant with the proposed changes would continue to meet the conditions outlined in the ordinance for restaurants. Alternative RecoIImnendation: The alternative recommendation would be to deny the special use permit. Findings of fact would have to be made supporting this action which indicate that the proposal would be detrimental to the public welfare. Decision Mode: A public hearing is scheduled before the City Council on this matter for July 13, 1987. Published notice of this hearing has been provided to property owners within 350 feet of the property.

July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Award of contract for Data Processing Consulting Services. Background: In the 1987 budget, funds are provided for purchasing the additional computer hardware necessary to complete the initial installation of the City's Burroughs system. The equipment planned for will provide computer access to several additional positions in the City and enhance the disc storage capacity and , processing speed of the operation. During the past year there have been a number of changes in computer technology which could affect the original plan for specific types of equipment which were to be added to the City's system. Additionally, the costs projected for some of these items of equipment have decreased. Thus, the approach that is being followed for the computer equipment purchase includes an analysis of potential computer configurations, and a Request for Proposals which asks the prospective vendors to submit an equipment configuration plan, as well as prices for specific pieces of equipment. City staff would .then evaluate the various plans and make a selection. • The most critical portion of this bid process is the first stage, where a thorough evaluation of the City's current hardware and software configurations is made and the Request for Proposal language is developed. Thus, outside expertise at this stage is .essential to provide technical input and alleviate the burden of preparing the document which would otherwise fall solely upon the Data Processing Manager. To assist the City in preparing a Request for Proposals, the City staff .solicited "not to exceed" quotations from several firms ~,ihich specialize in this service. The firms and quotations are as follows: 1) Cap Gemini - did not supply City with "not to exceed" bid. Supplied estimate of $4,800. 2) Technalysis - called and stated they had no one available. ' 3) Deloitte, Haskins & Sells - they had no one available. 4) MIS Contract Services - not to exceed $12,000. 5) McGladrey, Hendrickson & Pullen - not to exceed $8,000. Recommended Motion: I~ Authorize the City Manager to .enter into a contract with • McGladrey, Hendrickson & Pullen for data processing consulting services, not to exceed X8,000. i Basis of Recommendation: 1) Technical assistance is needed to help the City staff assess its current hardware and software status and prepare an RFP based on that analysis. 2) The proposed contractor, McGladrey, Hendrickson & Pullen, has an individual specified to work on this project who has extensive local government computer/bidding experience, as well as being very familiar with Burroughs equipment. The contractor was also the lowest "not to exceed" figure. The City should engage a very experienced technical individual to assist us in the project and McGladrey, Hendrickson & Pullen projects the best qualified individual. 3) Other metropolitan municipalities including Plymouth, Crystal, Hopkins and West St. Paul have recently used the services of McGladrey, Hendrickson & Pullen for computer purchases, specifically working with the individual designated to work with Richfield. The experience of these other communities has been very favorable. 4) With the technical assistance, the City staff will be able to proceed with the bid process without delay and could anticipate delivery of the new equipment by mid fall, 1987. To not use the assistance of a consultant would delay the purchase or projects in pro ress by approximately two months. 5) Funding for the contract will be charged to the Data Processing budget and paid from the funds set aside for the computer purchase. Alternative Recommendation: 1) The City could select another contractor, Cap Gemini, who has quoted a lower price per hour. However, the quote has no cap and the person designated to do the work does not appear to be as well suited b revious experience to work on this project. Y P 2) The City Council could decide not to approve any of the contractors. Decision/Discussion Mode: Staff is requesting City Council action at the July 13, 1987 City Council meeting so that staff may proceed as quickly as possible to secure the additional computer hardware/software needed. Respectfully submitted, Jam Prosser Cit Manager JDP/eja CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 207 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Approval of a service contract with Albers Associates, Inc. for contract computer programming for Fair Labor Standards Act Overtime reporting. Background: In 1986, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) became applicable to all local government employees. Previously, a State Supreme Court ruling had exempted municipal employees from the provisions of the Act. Upon becoming .effective, the City was responsible for providing overtime pay reporting in conformance with the. Act.- However, this compliance with the Act became especially complicated when applied to Fire and Police Division employees. The complexity centers around the labor agreements in effect with those groups and the more unusual schedules that they work. The labor agreements provide a separate basis upon which overtime is calculated, differing substantially from Fair Labor Standards. Thus, employees could be eligible for overtime under both the • contract or FLSA or either of the two. Additionally, the 27-day schedule period worked by Police and Fire employees does not conform to 14-day pay periods, which makes it extremely complicated to reconcile hours worked under their schedules with FLSA and standard payroll periods. To further complicate the matter, the Firefighters' normal schedule under FLSA provides for built in overtime pay each payroll period. The City had been tracking overtime payments under a computer program developed in-house in the Public Safety Division. However, there have been some problems in administering that program, especially in tying it into the new payroll system. Further, the program did not include non-Public Safety personnel. The net result is that the FLSA overtime reporting system is in need of a complete overhaul so that FLSA overtime would be integrated into the automated payroll system. City staff has asked Ray Giske of Albers Associates, Inc., the developer of the City's payroll programs, to study the current FLSA overtime problems facing the City and to provide an estimate of the cost to write computer programs which would provide an automated City-wide FLSA payroll reporting .system. Mr. Giske has responded that he could design, develop and install a series of programs which would provide the automated system necessary, as well as train users of the system for a cost of approximately • $4,860,. and take four to six weeks to complete. He cautioned that if additional complications arose or he was confronted with system failures during the programming, it would require additional hours of programming at $45 per hour. Mr. Giske indicated that in any event, he could finish the project for a figure not to exceed $7,500. However, it was his best estimation that the project could be completed for $5,000 or slightly less. Rec .,,,.....endation It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to engage the services of Mr. Giske to program a FLSA Overtime Reporting System for an amount not to exceed $7,500. Basis for Recommendation: 1. The City needs to immediately implement an automated FLSA Overtime reporting procedure to ensure that employees are paid in accordance with Federal law. 2. No staff programmer is available to perform this programming. 3. It is very important that this computer application interface completely with the City's existing computerized payroll program.. Since Mr. Giske wrote the payroll program, he is the individual most familiar with what must be done to accomplish this task in a manner compatible with our existing system. Alternative Recommendation: 1. The City could seek out other programmers who could design, develop and install this software. However, the City is under a time constraint in that this project should be completed as soon as possible. Additionally, there is a risk of employing someone unfamiliar with the current payroll system. and that the interface with the payroll system would not function properly. This is a significant risk, in that the City's payroll application is one of the most complex computer applications the City has. Discussion/Decision Mode: It is essential that the programming begin as soon as possible. Thus, staff is requesting authorization at the July 13, 1987 City Council meeting. Respectfully submitted, Ja s D. Prosser Ci Manager JDP:sb • ~~~,y` 02 t • JUly H, 190 / INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION 103 NALPAK BUILDING Mr. Steve Devich 333 SIB LEY STREET - ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55101 City of Richfield 6700 Portland Ave. (612) 227-8564 Richfield, MN 55423 Dear Mr. Devich: The purpose of this letter is to provide the framework for proceeding with modifications to the Richfield Payroll system so as to incorporate the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (ELBA). The letter describes my understanding of the FLSA requirements, the processing approach that will be implemented, and, finally, our estimated cost for completing the project. In preparation for writing this letter, I have discussed the requirements and various approaches with Vaughn Lambert, Howard Rowland, and Jean Mitchell. In addition, I have reviewed FLSA documentation provided by Vaughn and I looked at programs he developed for use in recording time for Public Safety personnel. NEID FOR MODIFICATIONS • Modifications to the payroll system are required in order to handle differences between the City's payroll processing requirements and the FLSA processing requirements which have been superimposed on those of the City. These differences relate primarily to: ~ 1. The City's bi-weekly pay cycle versus the FLSA work period. 2. The overtime for an employee as defined by the City's contract with the employee's bargaining unit versus the overtime as defined by FLSA requirements. 3. The rate of pay used in computing overtime pay under the contract versus the rate used in computing overtime pay under the FLSA requirements. Because of the work schedule established for police and fire personnel, these differences have greater impact on Public Safety employees than on General Service employees. IMPLII+4ENTATION APPROACH The general processing approach, after the proposed changes have been made, is described below. The approach assumes that no changes are required in order to accommodate General Service employees and that the FLSA work periods for Public Safety employees is 27 days. 1. Time card data, for purposes of meeting FLSA requirements, will be entered by • Public Safety personnel. The time will be entered using the time card as the data source; however, hours will be entered in sufficient detail to allow accumulating data either for a 27-day work period or for a bi-weekly pay cycle. • July 8, 1987 Mr. Steve Devich Page Two 2. The time entered will be accumulated by work period and the number of FLSA overtime hours will be computed for each eligible employee at the end of each work period. 3. The overtime hours by employee will be transferred to the payroll system where overtime pay for FLSA will be computed and stored as a pay adjustment transaction to be paid on the next bi-weekly payroll cycle. 4. Reports will be generated which will provide audits on: ~ a) the hours entered by Public Safety personnel as compared to hours entered by payroll personnel. b) the transactions generated by the system including the employee paid, amount, FLSA overtime hours, and pay rate used. 5. Security will be provided to preclude access by Public Safety personnel to employee master file data except for those employees for whom time is being entered. Based on this approach, we have outlined a series of tasks for completing the project. These tasks are listed on the attached pages. TIMING AND FEES We expect the elapsed time for the project will be 4-6 weeks. Our estimated fees for service are $5,000 to $7,500 based on our understanding of the project and our estimate of the time required to complete the proposed tasks. If the nature or scope of our work changes during the project, we will notify you and discuss any expected changes to the fees. Our time on the project will be billed monthly on a time and materials basis using $45.00/hour as a standard billing rate. I have truly enjoyed working with the City of Richfield and appreciate the I' cooperation and courtesy extended to me by your staff. Please let me know if I can provide you additional information or clarify any of the points above.

Background: Each year the city removes and replaces deteriorated concrete sidewalk sections and curb and gutter in various areas of the city as a safety precaution. This work is solely for repair of existing sites and does rnot include construction of new sidewalk, curb or gutter. On July 1, 1987 bids were opened for the 1987 concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter repair. A copy of the bid minutes and tabulation is attached for council review. The two bids were as follows: Randy Kramer Excavating - $32,336 Victor Carlson & Sons - $43,505 These bids are based on unit prices for estimated quantities. Because of the unit price bidding procedure, the actual cost could vary, often resulting in a lesser cost to the city, • depending on actual field measurements at the time of the work. The adopted 1987 budget for street maintenance includes $23,000 for repair of concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters. However, the inventory taken in preparation of plans and specifications indicated additional sites in need of repair. The engineer's estimate at the time of bidding was. $28,000. The fact that only two bids were received is a strong indication that concrete contractors have plenty of work available to them this summer. While the low bid of $32,336 is above engineering estimates, there is sufficient funding available in the street maintenance budget for the added expense. Recommended Motion: Accept the bid minutes and tabulation and award a contract to Randy Kramer Excavating in the estimated amount of $32,336 based on unit prices submitted July 1, 1987 for 1987 concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter repair. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The bid from Randy Kramer Excavating is the lowest submitted. 2. Staff has investigated the contractor and found he has ably performed work of this-type in the past for other municipalities. 3. Funding for the work is included in the 1987 street maintenance operating budget. Alternative Recommendation: The city council may choose to reject the bids and direct staff to obtain new bids. However, the bids received are in line with the amount of work which needs to be completed. Staff does not believe we will obtain better prices from a reputable contractor. Discussion(Decision Mode: Although this item has been scheduled for the July 13 agenda, the council may choose to delay award of this contract. The contract documents allow bidders to withdraw their bids in 30 days so action should be taken no later than July 27, 1987.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 204 ul 1 1 87 A enda J 3, 9 g Y Issue Statement: Execution of XIII CDBG Public Services Agreement/Day Care contract with Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association. Background: On May 9, 1987 the City Council approved an allocation of $20,000 to the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association from the XIII Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program. Subsequently, Hennepin County has approved the funding allocation as submitted. As a cooperating unit the City of Richfield is required to execute the attached contract with Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association. Recommended Motion: Approve the attached contract with Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association to provide $20,000 from the XIII Urban Hennepin County CDBG funds in support of the Richfield Child Care Sliding Fee Program. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The execution of the contract formalizes the approved funding allocation and responsibilities for CDBG Year XIII Sliding • Fee Day Care Assistance. 2. The execution of the contract is consistent with previously established procedures. 3. The contract. is similar to contracts approved by the city in previous years. Alternative Recommendation: The City Council may choose not to execute the contract with Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association and assign the administrative responsibility for the program to Hennepin County. This may simplify the administrative responsibilities of the Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association, but may also mean less local control of the program. The city's role would be limited to deciding the amount of money allocated to the program.

GREATER MINNEAPOLIS DAY CARE CITY OF ASSOCIATION STATE OF MINNESOTA By By Its Mayor ~I and and Its City Manager ~ 'i I~~ I i • ' CITY OF RICHFIELD., MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 203 Agenda July 13, 1987 • Issue Statement: Resolution Authorizing Lease of a 10' x 470' tract of City Property abutting Lincoln Field Park to Mr. Thomas Price Background: For several years a small 10' x 470' tract of land, the western edge of the city's Lincoln Field Park, has been leased to Mr. Thomas Price in connection with the operation of a mobile home park located east of Lyndale Avenue, north of the Century Court Apartments and west of the city's Lincoln Field Park. The current lease will expire July 31, 1987. The property is not presently needed for municipal purposes, so it appears that to continue leasing the property is in the best interest of the city. It is understood that the property can be used only in connection with a mobile home park, that no permanent structure other than a fence may be erected, that no other use of the leased land may be made without written consent of the city and that the city council may at any time terminate the lease if it is determined a mobile home park is incompatible with the city's use of its adjacent park property. The term of the proposed lease is five years. For the last five years, Mr. Price has leased the land for $350 each year. It is proposed that with the new lease there be a five percent annual • increase in rental rates. Mr. Price is in agreement with these lease provisions. The rental sums received from the proposed lease would continue to be paid into the General Fund. Staff Recommended Motion: Approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor and the City Manager to execute a lease with Mr. Thomas Price for the rental of a small tract of land for a period of five years. Basis of Recommendation: 1. The land to be leased is not presently needed for municipal purposes and such premises probably will not be needed for a term of five years. 2. Mr. Price is in accord with the terms of the proposed lease. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Do not lease the land. 2. Reduce or extend the length of the lease. 3. Reduce or increase the annual rental rates. Discussion~Decision Mode: This item has been scheduled for the July 13, 1987 city council agenda. To allow Mr. Price sufficient time to either make payment before August 1, 1987 or to vacate the property, decision should be made no later than the July 27 city council meeting. • Respec fully submitted, J Prosser City ~ anager RESOLUTION N0. • RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING LEASE OF CITY PROPERTY TO THOMAS E.

The mayor and city manager are. hereby authorized and directed to execute such lease for and on behalf of the City. 4. All rental sums received under the provision of such lease shall be paid into the. General Fund. Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, this 13th day of July, 1987. John Hamilton, Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber, City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MI~W~.~~SOTA Council Letter No. 202 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Purchase and installation of Ice Arena heat reclaim coils. 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 adopted 1987 Capital Budget includes $12,000 for the 'I materials and labor to install a heat reclaim system that will utilize the rejected heat from the refrigeration equipment to heat the Ice Arena. The work for both the east and west handling units includes a warranty for one year after date of installation. City staff would be responsible for the work not j included in the proposal, as provided in the Ice Arena operating budget. Three local vendors with a history for this type of work were requested to submit quotations. Two were received: Vendor Quotation Cool Air Mechanical, Inc. $11,035 Holmsten Rinkmaster $18,270 Staff Recommended Motion: Authorize the purchase of materials and labor from Cool Air Mechanical, Inc. to install a heat reclaim system at the Richfield Ice Arena in the amount of $11.,035 per the quotation of June 18, 1987. Basis of Recommendation: 1. This project was proposed for more efficient and economical operation of the Ice Arena. 2. The quotation by Cool Air Mechanical, Inc. was the lowest submitted by a responsible vendor. Cool Air Mechanical, Inc. had a similar installation at the Bloomington Ice Garden. 3. Sufficient funding is provided in the 1987 Capital Improvement Budget. Alternative Recommendation: 1. Abandon the project even though it is anticipated the work will provide a higher comfort level, greater efficiency and an operating cost saving for the Ice Arena. 2. Attempt to secure additional quotations before proceeding. However, the city staff has reviewed a number of options and found this approach to be best suited for the Richfield Ice • Arena. It is unlikely additional quotations would be forthcoming. y • Discussion/Decision Mode: This item is on the consent calendar of the July 13, 1987 city council agenda. Action need not be taken at this time, but it would be in the best interest of the city to authorize the purchase as soon as possible so the work may be scheduled to afford the least possible interruption of activities at the Ice Arena. The prices quoted are in effect through July 31, 1987. Respectfully submitted, Jame Prosser City tanager JDP/eja y-, CITY OF RICHFIEhD, MINNESOTA • Council Letter No. 201 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Approval of the 1987 and 1988 labor contract with the Richfield Police Supervisory Association. Background: The City staff has completed negotiations on a labor agreement, subject to City Council approval, with the Richfield Police Supervisory Association, to cover the period of January 1, 1987., through December 31, 1988. This item was originally scheduled for the February 23, 1987 council meeting, but was postponed because of a pending Bureau of Mediation Services petition by the Captain and .Lieutenants to split out of the Police Supervisory Association bargaining unit and form their own unit. Until the determination was made by„the Bureau, the contract could not legally proceed. That determination has now been made and provides that the unit will stay together as one and therefore, the contract is now before .the council for approval. i The Richfield Police Supervisory Association represents the positions of Police Captain, Lieutenant, and Sergeant. There are presently ten employees represented within the unit. The 1987 contract year is the first of a two-year agreement. The changes which have been negotiated for the year 1987 are as follows: 1. An adjustment of 4~ over 1986 wage rates for all classifications. 2. The addition of Dental Insurance at $14.00 per month per employee, up to a maximum employer contribution for Health and Dental Insurance of $182.50. The, total package cost of the 1987 settlement is 4.188, which is comparable to the 1987 settlements of the City's Firefighters and Patrol Officers-Investigator/Agent Units, and other supervisory units in the Metropolitan area. The changes which have been negotiated for the year 1988 are as follows: 1. An adjustment of 3.8~ over 1987 wage rates for all classifications. 2. Effective January 1, 1988, employees in the Sergeant classification will receive, in addition to the holiday hours, time and .one-half pay for the hours they are assigned to work on the following five holidays: • New Year's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. . 3. Effective January 1, 1988, the maximum employer contribution for health and dental insurance would be increased from the i, 1987 level of $182.50 per month to $193.00 per month, an I, increase of $10.50 per month. The total package cost for 1988 is 4.18$. ~i Recommended Motion: Approve the Resolution approving a Labor Agreement with the Richfield Police Supervisory Association for the years 1987/88. Basis For Recommendation: 1. Police Supervisors' wage settlements for 1987 in other communities, which were consistently at 4~. 2. Benefits provided to Police Supervisors in other Metropolitan area communities - insurance and holiday ' premiums. 3. Wage and benefit settlements of other City of Richfield employee groups. Alternative Recommendation: Do not approve the Labor Agreement, requiring further negotiations and/or arbitration. Discussion/Decision Mode: In order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify • payroll records and enact the new pay rates retroactive to January 1, 1987 as soon as possible, it is recommended that the City Council act on July 13, 1987 to adopt the attached II resolution providing for Contract changes, effective January 1, ~ 1987. Respectfully submitted, Jame Prosser City anager JDP/sb ~ ~ ~ RESOLUTION N0. RESOLUTION APPROVING LABOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN~THE CITY OF RICHFIELD AND THE RICHFIELD POLICE .SUPERVISORY ASSOCIATION BARGAINING UNIT FOR THE YEARS 1987-1988. WHEREAS, the City Manager and the Richfield Police Supervisory Association Bargaining Unit have reached a complete understanding concerning rates of pay, hours, and other conditions of employment for the years 1987 and 1988 and, WHEREAS, .the Personnel Ordinance requires that contracts between the City and the exclusive representative of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit shall be implemented by Council Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby approve the Labor Agreement between the City of Richfield and the Richfield Police Supervisory Association Bargaining Unit for the years of 1987 and 1988, and orders the provisions of the Labor Agreement to be implemented, effective January 1, 1987. !I Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, ' Minnesota this 13th day of July, 1987. • John Hamilton, Mayor ATTEST: Thomas P. Ferber, City Clerk • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 200 Agenda July 13, 1987.. .Issue Statement: Request for authorization to enter into a contract with Brown Computer Services for programming services. Background: For the past .several months the City's Data Processing and Finance Divisions have worked to bring the City back on schedule with the processing of financial data and implementation of the new computer system. Considerable progress has. been made thus far. Projections by the Data Processing staff target the end of ~ July as the point where much of the financial processing of the City is caught up to normal schedule. ~ At the same time, the Data Processing staff, along with the I Administrative Services Director, are working on the City s 1987- 1988 budget process as well as preparing the RFP for the acquisition of the additional computer equipment which was scheduled for purchase in 1987. Thus, the next several months will. be extremely busy for the entire Data Processing staff as they work toward attaining these goals. In addition to these projects, several miscellaneous conversion • projects must be completed as soon as possible to restore the day to day access to information needed by City Departments. These projects include the Public Safety Accidents Record System and Police Monthly Reports, Utility Billing Improvements and Documentation,~EEOC Reporting, Leave Reporting, Cost Accounting Improvements and Program Cost Accounting Conversion. A conservative estimate of the programming hours necessary to complete these projects is 180 to 200 hours. In addition, some smaller projects surface periodically as more users come on to the new system and greater computer applications are used. Since the City eliminated its only Computer Programmer position in ~I 1984, all new applications must be either programmed or planned by the Data Processing Manager. Under this staffing arrangement, there is simply no time available for the next several months for these conversion projects or new computer applications. Late in 1986, the City needed computer programming assistance and solicited quotations from area firms engaged in this service. Quotations were received from three of the better known firms in the metro area: Brown Computer Services of Roseville, Minnesota..........$26.00 per hour I Cap Gemini America of Edina, Minnesota ..............$32.00 per hour • y~ • Technalysis Corporation of Edina, Minnesota ..............$32.00 through $36.00 per hour The City engaged the services of an experienced COBOL Programmer from Brown Computer Services during late 1986 and early 1987. The productivity of the Programmer was excellent. Currently, Brown Computer Services has the same Programmer available to the City for the 1986 quoted rate of $26.00 per hour. $26.00 per hour is $9.00 per hour less than the "going rate" for this type of programming service. In addition, this Programmer is extremely familiar with the City's software as well as being very proficient at COBOL and PDS programming languages which constitutes the languages used for the bulk of the City's software. Recommended Motion: Approve contracting with Brown Computer Services for a Contract Programmer at a rate of $26.00 per hour for up to 240 hours of programming for a cost of up to $6,240. Basis of Recommendation: 1) There is an immediate need to complete the remaining conversion items outstanding at the same time that there are equally important immediate needs relating to the 1987-88 budget • and computer purchase. 2) The City no longer has a Computer Programmer position. Thus, during the computer conversion and during the initial period of time where new software applications are needed, in house staff is not available to complete these projects. 3) The Programmer from Brown Computer Service, who has assisted the City in the past, is available to the City at the 1986 rate of $26.00 per hour. Alternative Recommendations: ~ 1) Do not approve the Contract Programmer. However, some very important conversion projects would not be completed until very ~I late in 1987 or spring of 1988. This data is needed in the next several weeks. 2) Approve the Contract Programmer for a lesser amount of hours. 3) Direct staff to seek an alternative Contract Programmer or seek other quotations. i I '~I • - - Action/Decision Mode: Action on this matter is requested at the July 13, 1987 meeting so that these projects can be completed as quickly as possible. Respectfully submitted, James D. Prosser City M ages • • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Council Letter No. 199 Agenda July 13, 1987 Issue Statement: Acceptance of a report of the Hennepin County Environmental Task Force, presented by Ms. Jeanette Lofstrom, a member of the Richfield Advisory Board of Health. Background: The State Community Health Services Advisory Committee (SCHSAC), comprised of local health board representatives, advises the Minnesota Department of Health on public health priorities. In 1986 the SCHAC discussed how it could assist counties in meeting the requirements of the Local Comprehensive Water Management Act.. The committee decided to publish a planning guide for local jurisdictions. In order to ensure that all relevant issues were covered in the guide, the SCHAC recommended that counties study the issues of water planning and quality, and report their recommendations to the SCHAC. The SCHAC will use the recommendations to publish the guide in late 1987 or early 1988. Hennepin County organized a task force of local advisory health • board members to develop recommendations for the SCHAC. Ms. Lofstrom represented the Richfield Advisory Board of Health. The task force has completed its mission and Ms. Lofstrom will report to the city council on the county task force recommendations. Staff Recommended Motion: Accept the report of the Hennepin County Environmental Health Task Force. Basis of Recommendation: The Local Comprehensive Water Management Act requires local jurisdictions to develop a plan for water availability and quality. The SCHAC guide which will be published to assist local government in meeting this requirement will be based upon the recommendations from task forces such as the Hennepin County Environmental Task Force. Alternative Recommendation: The city council could direct staff to develop its own recommendations for the SCHAC. The deadline. for reports to the SCHAC is September, 1987. The development of an independent set of recommendations to augment the county study would likely be redundant, and would require a great deal of staff time to complete by September. • ~02 Discussion/Decision Mode: Ms. Jeanette Lofstrom, a member of the Richfield Advisory Board of Health, will attend the July 13, 1987 city council meeting to report to the council on the Hennepin County Environmental Task Force report. i Respectfully submitted, Jame Prosser City anager JDP/eja • • y' INTRODUCTION The Countywide Environmental Health Task force held. eight . meetings between March 27, 1986 and February 4, 1987. .The goal of the Task Force was: "Local Boards of Health will work together to expand public kµ~. knowledge and awareness regarding environmental and public safety issues important to the well-being of the County and region, and maintain a healthy, safe environment for Hennepin County residents." After identifying several environmental health issues affecting residents of Hennepin County it became apparent that the protection of our groundwater resource is perhaps the most significant issue of our time. The Task Force also realized that protecting this resource • is not being accomplished in a coordinated and effective manner. Many State and Federal agencies have an interest in groundwater, however, there is a lack of a well planned coordinated effort to implement programs which will reduce the risk of groundwater contamination. The Task Force concluded that local involvement in a groundwater protection program is needed to assure that this very large and valuable resource will be available for future generations. BACKGROUND Minnesota is blessed with an abundant supply of high quality groundwater. In most areas of the state, access to this resource is relatively inexpensive. Groundwater beneath the Twin City Metropolitan area is contained within five separate water bearing formations called aquifers. One estimate of the volume of water in these aquifers is roughly one billion gallons per day. In 1979, the Metropolitan area utilized an average of 179 million ~ , gallons of groundwater per day. s 4 i Rain water supplies the "recharge" for groundwater in these aquifers. This recharge takes place within Hennepin County and in counties directly north and west of Hennepin County. Movement • of water through these aquifers is slow, ranging from less than one inch per year to 25 feet per day. The deepest aquifer in the Twin City area which is relatively easily accessible is 1~d0 feet beneath the surface. This aquifer is called the Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifer. The Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifer is . separated from other aquifers by almost impermeable layers of rock affording this water bearing formation a high degree of -3 t safety from surface pollution. This degree of safety can be compromised by penetrations through the layers of rock with well i bore holes. By avoiding contamination of groundwater, the aquifers beneath the Twin City Metropolitan area_can be expected to supply the area with water well into the forseeable future. THE PROBLEM The safety of the deeper aquifers was found to be compromised in the 197~'s in St. Louis Park. Residents were alarmed to find that at least one of their city water wells was contaminated with a potential carcinogen associated with creosote. How could this happen when there are several layers of supposedly impervious rock layers between the aquifer and ground . surface? It was known that the operation of a creosote plant had • contaminated the near surface water table. ~n fact, one could drill a shallow well in the vicinity of the old creosote plant site and pump creosote laden water out of the well. But, how did this contamination reach the deeper aquifer? Some of St. Louis Park's city wells were taken out of operation and an investigation undertaken to determine how the contamination was gaining access to the deeper aquifer. It _ was discovered that a deep water well was open to the surface in the immediate area. A rail car spill had occurred on the site about 50 years earlier and the spilled contaminants had flowed directly down the unused water well. This well transported the contamination directly into the aquifer which, at a later date, the City tapped with one of their water wells. In addition other inactive wells in the area were identified and after visual inspection of the wells it was found that the • well casings had corroded, holes were formed in the casings and contaminated water from upper aquifer was flowing down the casings into the. lower. aquifer at the bottom of the wells. Efforts are now underway to correct this problem. The contaminated deep aquifer is being pumped and the water is treated and discharged to waste. Wells have been identified in the area and properly sealed by filling the bore holes with • cement grout. The costs for this project are very high. Decisions of what to do with the contamination near the surface have not been formalized and legal actions are pending to recover some of the cost related to this project. Pumping of the deep aquifer will continue into the next century and beyond. Since then, other municipal water wells in :Minnesota have peen identified as contaminated with industrial chemicals. The - • Other potential threats to groundwater include contamination by sanitary landfills, leaking underground storage tanks leaking sewage systems, agricultural chemicals and hazardous wastes. It is difficult to determine which of these have the greatest impact on groundwater contamination. Improperly abandoned water wells . are a potential mechanism which can create a direct link between the aquifer and the pollution source. Eliminating. the water well linkage between the pollution source and the groundwater supply will increase the safety of this valuable resource. PRESENT DAY STATUS The Task Force was frustrated with the multiplicity of agencies involved in groundwater and the lack of a program designed to cagy out a groundwater protection program. The lack. of a groundwater protection and conservation policy statewide has been criticized in other reports reviewed by the Task Force ("A Strategy for the Waterbelt", Citizen League Report, 1985 and "Water Quality Monitoring", Office of the Legislative Auditor, • February .1987). Management and monitoring of groundwater is shared among several state agencies. The Minnesota Department of Health manages the state water well construction regulation, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources administers groundwater allocation and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency monitors groundwater contamination at specific sites in Minnesota. Information about groundwater and geology is gathered by the Minnesota Geological Survey, the United States Geological survey, the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board and local Conservation Districts. As a result of the Legislative Auditors Report on Water Quality Monitoring, it may be anticipated that efforts towards developing a groundwater protection plan in Minnesota may improve. However, the magnitude of the groundwater problem will require resources at the local level for implementation. Additional state funding will be needed to provide adequate resources for implementing a groundwater plan in Minnesota. Funding at the State level is tenuous at best. LOCAL RESPONSE • The Task Force concluded that a water well abandonment program should be implemented within the County. The program should assign priorities to wells which are of large diameter, multiaquifer and located near a pollution source such as a high risk industry, sanitary landfill, abandoned dump or other identified high risk areas. y i The Hennepin Conservation District has obtained funding to develop a groundwater atlas for Hennepin County. The groundwater ~ atlas will be a valuable tool in identifying weaknesses in geological formations which may render the deep aquifers susceptible to rapid contamination from the surface in some areas of the County. This knowledge could be used to decide whether a . high risk industry is located in an inappropriate area. The. k groundwater atlas could be used to help communities in making land use decisions. An effort to identify all abandoned open dumps in Hennepin County should be implemented and coordinated with .the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies activities in the same area. Alternative funding sources should be investigated to offset the cost of the water well abandonment program. Foundation Grants may be available through the Northwest Foundation, or other foundations. The Task Force did no investigate this possibility due to time constraints. The activities listed above should be coordinated with a public awareness campaign to .develop public support for the need • of such a massive program. There are literally thousands of improperly-.abandoned wells in Hennepin County and cooperation from the various communities in the county will be critical for successful implementation of these control measures. Local Boards of Health should be prepared to review state agency initiatives concerning groundwater protection. The local Board of Health should be in a position to support or recommend changes to legislation which may be introduced to protect groundwater. . ~ RECOMMENDATION I i A countywide groundwater protection program should be implemented in Hennepin County. The Boards of Health in Hennepin County should take a lead role to ensure that this groundwater protection program is developed and implemented in_Hennepin County. A Task Force consisting of representatives from each CHS agency in Hennepin County and other involved .agencies should be established to develop an implementation plan for groundwater protection program is developed and implemented in Hennepin County. The following issues should be addressed by the Task Force: 1. Develop a uniform program for water well drilling, maintenance and abandonment in Hennepin County. • 2. Increase public awareness of the health issues relative to groundwater contamination. 3. Identify all operating and abandoned water wells located in Hennepin County. 4. Establish a system which will give priority to inspection and possible abandonment of water 'I wells which pose the greatest risk of contaminating groundwater. 5. Promote the use of the pending Conservation Districts' II groundwater atlas as a tool to be used by local ~I government in making decisions for industrial, residential and recreational land uses. 6. Investigate the availability of alternative funding I', sources to support a water well abandonment program including the possibility of funding the abandonment ~I of water wells which are under the ownership of I, indigents. 7. _ Evaluate the status of present day activities in I~, monitoring groundwater contamination. i
