The properties at 6329 and 6339 Portland Avenue are now available for purchase and the city staff has negotiated purchase agreements, prepared by the city attorney, for these properties.. Three appraisals were conducted for 6329 Portland Avenue. The three market values indicated in the appraisals were $79,200, $80,000 and $81,000. The city, as buyer, and the owner of 6329 Portland, as seller, have agreed to a purchase price of $78,000 with real estate taxes and installments on special assessments to be prorated as of the date of closing. The seller has waived: relocation benefits. Two appraisals were conducted for 6339 Portland Avenue. The two market values indicated in the appraisals were $87,600 and $89,000. The city, as buyer, and the owner of 6339 Portland Avenue, as seller, have agreed on a purchase price of $85,200 with real estate taxes and installments on special assessments to be prorated as of the date of closing. The seller has waived relocation benefits. As the seller is in the process of .building a new home, the city has agreed to provide a rental opportunity to the seller at $250 per month for the balance of the 1986 calendar year. It is anticipated the seller will not find it necessary to exercise the full extent of the rental option. Funding for purchase of these two properties is available through the park land acquisition fund and the Legion Lake project account. The Community Services Advisory Commission has recommended approval of the purchase of these properties for park purposes. The Planning Commission, at their meeting of April 22, 1986, found that the proposed purchase of these properties for park purposes was in compliance with the comprehensive plan and recommended that the purchase be approved. It is recommended .that the city council authorize the purchase of properties at 6329 Portland Avenue and 6339 Portland Avenue for park purposes as outlined in this council letter.

Y pp Passed this 28th day of April, 1986. John Hamilton Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 177 Agenda April 28, 1986 .The Honorable Mayor - and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Smoking Policy - Richfield Ice Arena Council Members: The Richfield Community Services Advisory Commission recently considered initiating a new smoking policy for the Richfield Ice Arena. Presently, smoking is prohibited in the. main rink portion and the locker .rooms. However, this policy is difficult to enforce... The commission discussed limiting smoking to the restroom, vending area and lounge .areas of the Ice Arena, and to provide smoking areas near the entrance-and in the south lounge area. It was the opinion of the Community Service s Advisory Commission that such a policy would not have clear, definable areas, differentiating the smoking and non-smoking areas thus making such a policy very difficult to enforce. At city hall, public areas such as the main lobby, council chambers and all conference rooms are now designated as "No Smoking". The Community Services Advisory Commission felt that the restrooms, wending area and lounges in the ice arena, are also "public" areas, and smoking should not be permitted in those areas. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of staff and the Community Services Advisory Commission that the entire Richfield Ice Arena should be designated "No Smoking". It is further recommended by the Community Services Advisory Commission. that since enforcement of no smoking policies are difficult, the city council should consider funding for public safety personnel to assist in the enforcement of the policy should it be adopted and such enforcement assistance becomes necessary.

WASHINGTON, D.G ]p006 A~~~j~ a / ¦ r CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 175 Agenda April 28, 1986 The Honorable Mayor. and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Council Discussion Item - SuperAmerica request for Temporary Ground Signs, Pennants and Banners, and Semi-Trailers from April..14, 1986 Agenda Council Members: At the council meeting of April 14, 1986, city council considered on the .consent agenda a request by SuperAmerica stations for authorization to erect banners, pennants, a 15 square foot portable ground sign and park semi-trailers at their four Richfield locations for a 30 day period. Staff recommendation on that council action was that the pennants and banners be approved but that the portable ground sign be denied because it exceeded the 12 square foot limitation set forth by .city ordinance and that the request to park semi-trailers at the four station locations be denied because the parking of those trailers on the station lots for a period of 30 days would be in violation of SuperAmerica's off street parking contract. On Tuesday, April 22, Steve Archer, manager for SuperAmerica stores, came to the writer and stated that he had a problem concerning his request for the banners, pennants, signs, and trailers. He went on to state that the trailers were already at the stations, the signs were already there and had been paid for, and the banners and pennants were up. He added that he was not aware that the city council had denied the request for the portable ground signs or the semi-trailers. He also stated that he had been in attendance at the council meeting and when the city council adopted the consent calendar, he assumed that it meant that they approved his request. He did not telephone the inspectional services department or any other. city department to ascertain whether that assumption was correct; nor did he come in to pick up any permits prior to taking these actions. Subsequently, in a telephone conversation with an employee of the inspectional services department early in the week of April 21, he became aware that the request for the portable ground signs and the semi-trailers had been denied. Thus, he approached the Acting City Manager with his problem. Upon conversing further with Mr. Archer, he indicated that he did not intend to park the trailers for a 30 day period at each station, but rather, wanted .them for a period of only 7 days and that his letter to the city was in error in that regard. He -also indicated that last year, in April of 1985 (see,attached Council Letter No. 111 from 1985), that the portable ground signs had been approved and that this year the exact same signs had -been disapproved. Upon researching the background data, it becomes apparent why that situation occurred.- In 1985 the ground signs were listed as being 4 x 3 feet which is 12 square feet and allowable for ordinance. On the application submitted for .1986 by Mr. Archer, he indicates those same signs are 5 x 3 feet for a total of 15 square feet which exceeds the ordinance. Thus the difference from 1985 to 1986. With respect to the semi-trailers, in 1985 the council received a recommendation from city staff that the request to park the trailers on the properties be denied.. City council then took action on April 8, 1985 to approve the portable ground signs, the banners and pennants, but denied the request to park semi-trailers. at the four sites as special use Permits for services stations do not allow the parking of semi-trailers on thesite. On April 22, Mr. Archer attended the city council meeting and approached the city council requesting that the denial of the permit to park semi-trailers at each of the SuperAmerica stations be reconsidered in that he had already ordered trailers. The city council did reconsider the request and granted permission to park the trailers for up to 8 days. (See attached minutes. from -April 22, 1985). In the current situation Mr. Archer is in a similar position. The semi-trailers and oversized portable ground signs are already on the SuperAmerica sites. The Acting City Manager at this point has delayed taking any action to proceed with citations on the matter to give Mr. Archer an opportunity to explain his situation to the city council on the April 28 meeting. This is being done because Mr. Archer wanted to make sure the council understood that he made an error in asking for the 30 day permit for parking of the trailers, requesting only 7 ' or 8 days, and also to explain the confusion with the measurement of the signs. Recommendation The Acting City Manager does not mean to question the city council action of April 14, 1986. Instead, the writer has determined that in order to clarify the situation so that there could be no misunderstandings, it might be helpful to allow representatives from SuperAmerica to address. the city council on this issue once again with the new information. However, the recommendation of the city staff has.-not: changed. The ordinance limits the size of temporary ground signs to 12 square feet and.- //-~3 if the signs are indeed 5 x 3 (15 square feet) they are in excess of the ordinance and are recommended for denial. Similarly, even though the semi-trailers were approved during 1985 for a period of 7 or 8 days, it is still recommended by city staff that authorization to park semi-trailers at the station sites is in conflict with the off street parking contract. Thus, the city staff still recommends that the parking of the trailers be ~ denied. Mr. Archer will be at the city council meeting to present his position. .Res c fully submitted, Sl.~v n L.

In addition, Superamerica is requesting that they be " permitted to place banners and pennants at these four locations- during their annual Pepsi sale which runs from June 9 through June 16, 1985. Pennants, banners and portable ground signs. with a maximum size of 12 square feet are permitted by city - ordinances. It is also city policy that banners and pennants be permitted only once per year for a period not to exceed 30 days. - The staff recommends that the city council approve the permit for banners, pennants, and portable ground signs for the period April 24 through May 6, 1985, and that the request to park a semi-trailer at the four sites be denied as special use permits for service stations do not allow the parking of semi- trailers on the site. The City Manager also recommends that the permit for banners and pennants for the period June 9~through June 16, .1985, be approved. Although this would be the .second time banners and pennants would be placed at a location in one year, the total number of days for the two sale events is less than 30 days. s ectf 1 submitted , y . , ~ • J hn G./Ca twri h ity Manage - - - ~I- ~1 - 1240 W.98TM STREET - SU PE RAM ~ R 1 CAa BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA SSS31 612887-6100 p1Y1lIOM O/ AlMLAMO OIL, IMC. .

The purpose of these signs and banners will be to advertise a Vavoline Oil promotion at each of their four stations. The sale will last for nine days; however, they are requesting permission to have the promotional devices up for a period of 30 days. City ordinance provides that council approval is required for all temporary signs and all illuminated signs. Illuminated Portable Siqns The maximum size permitted by city ordinance for temporary portable signs is 12 square feet. The signs proposed by SuperAmerica are 15 square feet. Banners and Pennants The city ordinances permit banners and Pennants to be used for a period not to exceed 60 days. Semi-Trailers The city ordinance does not specifically address the parking of semi-trailers on service station sites. This use is regulated by off-street parking contracts. It is the opinion of the building inspector that to permit the parking of semi-trailers on the service station lots would be equal to a temporary amendment of the aff-street parking contract, as the trailers will take up spaces used by customers. • I, Recommendation ~l It is recommended that the city council take the following actions on the request. by SuperAmerica: Denv the request for Illuminated Portable Siqns - because the proposed signs are larger than those permitted by city ordinance. Approve the request for Banners and Pennants - City ~ - ordinance permits banners and pennants to be up for a period of 60 days. SuperAmerica is requesting permission to have them in place for 30 .days. Deny the request to park Semi-trailers- because the parking of semi-trailers on the service station lots for a period of 30 days would be in violation of SuperAmerica's off-street parking. contract.

Therefore, a transitory ordinance to appropriate funds for the above capital improvements has been placed on the April 28, 1986 city council agenda for first reading consideration.

As a part, of the relief package adopted approximately one year ago, the member cities had some concerns regarding the • business operations of Rogers Cablesystems. To that end, while the member cities did not want to .directly be involved with the business operations of Rogers, they did want some assurances that Rogers business operations would not lead them to another appearance before the SWSCC member cities requesting additional financial concessions. Thus, the business plan was originated. There is no specific format required for the business plan. The business plan format and content has been left to Roger's to organize and present. Under the provisions of Section 7.06 of the performance agreement entered into, by the member cities and Rogers, a .business plan now must be submitted for review. Rogers was somewhat delayed in submitting this first business plan. However, the plan has now been submitted and was acted upon by the full Southwest Suburban Cable Commission at its meeting of April 2, 1986. Based on the review of .the business plan, and the recommendations of the SWSCC Operating Committee, the full commission determined that there should not be an objection to the business plan, and as a matter of policy furthermore recommended that each member city review the plan and determine that it should be accepted. For your information, the business plan briefly summarizes the subscriber status, rates and anticipated changes in rates, operations,-marketing strategy, programming strategy, reviews the technical department services, and provides some administrative goals.. The final pages of the business plan provide a variety of data depicted in charts and graphics.. f If Council Members have no objection to the business plan, the performance agreement requires that the City Council act on the matter within thirty days from the date of its delivery to the City Council, which for purposes of this document should be April 2, 1986 (the date it was delivered to the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission headquarters). It is recommended that the City Council accept the annual business plan of Rogers Cablesystems for the period September 1, 1985, through August 31, 1986.

Since that time Rogers Cablesystems has developed a refinancing plan and is now in the process of submitting that plan to five member cities of the SWSCC which includes, Edina, Eden Prairie,.. Hopkins, Minnetonka and Richfield. At the council meeting of April 14, 1986 council members were informed that on April 2, 1986, the SWSCC had received a completed application from Rogers Cablesystems to approve the following: 1. The refinancing plan which provides for alternative financing mechanisms to relieve Rogers of its unfavorable long-term debt, and 2. A request for approval of the sale and transfer of the cable franchise. .Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota would be acquired by Rogers Cablesystems of America, thus the operation would stay within the Rogers Cablesystems family of companies, but the long-term outstanding debt of the company would be refinanced under the much larger credit line of Rogers Cablesystems of America, and 3. Approval of the extension of the terms of the city' franchises for an additional four year term. At its April 2 meeting, the SWSCC considered the application by Rogers. Cablesystems .and unanimously adopted a resolution which. r provided for a recommendation to the member cities on the following findings: 1. The SWSCC found that the applications of Rogers for. its refinancing plan. is complete subject to the receipt of the buy-sell agreements and related financial information between the transferrer and the transferee and the process for evaluation may be started by member cities; 2. That the cities adopt a schedule of proceedings that was prepared by the Administrator of the SWSCC, Adrian Herbst, for .review and processing of the Rogers application; 3. That the member cities notify Rogers within 30 days of the date of the application (April 2, 1986) that a public hearing is being scheduled for April 28, 1986. . because the proposed actions may have an adverse effect on company subscribers. 4. -That the public hearing not be closed and all necessary approvals finalized until Rogers has sub- mitted to the cities and the SWSCC its buy and sell agreements and related financial information and the SWSCC has provided its recommendation to the cities, or alternatively that the hearing is closed but approval are not final and ordinances not published until the -SWSCC has filed its recommendation with the cities that the buy sell agreements information related thereto are in conformance with the representation of Rogers public hearings. 5. That the city attorney's of each member city assist and- coordinate the commission's attorney in the steps necessary toward the preparation and documentation necessary for each individual city to act upon the request as provided for in the scheduled proceedings. On April 14, 1986 the city council made a finding that the Rogers application may have an adverse impact upon company subscribers and took action to: 1. Authorize the Acting City Manager to notify Rogers Cablesystems that the application may have an adverse impact upon company subscribers. Thus, a public hearing-has been scheduled, 2. That a public hearing be scheduled and published for April 28, at 7:00 P.M. At the April 28, 1986 public hearing, representatives from Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota LTC Partnership and Adrian Herbst, attorney for the SWSCC, will be in attendance to present -~J r information regarding the application and to answer any questions the council members and public may have. Once again the three issues which will be considered at the public hearing are the following: 1. A request for approval by each of the member cities of a refinancing plan of Rogers Cable-systems- of Minnesota Limited .Partnership. During the course of the past year, Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota has attempted to secure financing to alleviate the cash flow problems caused by their long-term debt. However, several problems arose in that refinancing including a reluctance on the part of at least one lender because of the provision in the franchise agreement which provides that the system could be taken over by the member cities at the net book value of Rogers in the event of a default of the franchise agreement. Thus, the: possibility arose in the mind of the potential lender that in .the. event of a default there would not be sufficient funds to insure that. the lender. was properly paid. Secondly, the interest rates available at the time Rogers .attempted to secure refinancing were in excess of 11X interest ~ their cost under the current bank loan agreement. The refinancing proposal now up for approval includes the provision wherein the bank loan of Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota would be amended to match the terms of Rogers Cablesystems of America's long-term debt. This long-term debt bears an .interest rate at the prime rate plus one percent (as .,compared to the Minnesota loan rate which is the prime plus one and one-half per cent. The refinancing if approved would result in reduced interest costs, extending payment terms and a greater degree of flexibility for the Minnesota Limited Partnership. A copy of a letter from the Touche Ross accounting firm reviewing the proposed refinancing plan is attached to this letter. 2. Hand in hand with the refinancing of the Cablesystems of Minnesota debt, with the Rogers Cablesystems of America credit line, would be the request for sale and transfer of the franchise -from Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota Limited Partnership to Rogers Cablesystems of America, Inc. Both companies operate within the Rogers Cablesystems of America corporate group. 3. The request to extend the franchise term by four nears in each of the member cities. In the relief ordinance, executed approximately one year ago, the cities recognized that with the refinancing there was also a need to permit an extension of the franchise term to make the best possible long-term debt restruct- uring and at that time the cities agreed that upon approval of . the refinancing of the long-term debt they would also extend tfie franchise term by four years. Thus, along with approval of the financing plan, would come approval to extend the franchise for Cfj e another four year term for the City of Richfield as well as the other four member cities of the SWSCC. In summary, the proposals that are before the city council for action have been reviewed and acted upon by the SWSCC and have all been approved by the SWSCC. The SWSCC has also made recommendations to each of the five member cities to approve the .refinancing plan, the sale and transfer of the franchise and to extend the franchise term for an additional four years. In order for the council to take official action on these three matters, an ordinance must be passed amending the cable franchise communications ordinance, and a resolution must be adopted accepting the terms of the refinancing plan.. At the time of this writing, a final draft of an ordinance for first reading is not available nor is a final draft of the resolution available. Attached to this council letter is a rough draft developed by Adrian Herbst which was used for .the basis of discussion with the five city attorneys to develop a final copy ' of those documents. A final copy of the ordinance and resolution may be available by the time of the public hearing. Rogers has requested that the SWSCC and member cities take action on this matter as soon as possible so they ma,y proceed with the refinancing. The SWSCC has targeted the end of May as the date by which all member. cities should have acted on this ~i matter. If the ordinance and resolution are available at the time of .the April 28 public hearing, it is recommended that the city council adopt that resolution approving the refinancing plan of Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota, LTD., and adopt the ordinance amending the cable communications ordinance providing for the sale and transfer of the franchise and extending the terms of the franchise. If the ordinance and resolution are not available at the time of April 28 public hearing, it is recommended that the city council take the above actions during the May 12, 1986 council meeting and that in either event, the second reading of the ordinance be scheduled for the second. meeting in May.

Herbst & Thue, Ltd. 2030 Northwestern Financial Ctr. 7900 Xerxes Avenue South Bloomington, MN 55431 Dear Adrian: In accordance with the performance agreement approved by the Southwest cities last year, Rogers Cablesystems is to update the Commission on its progress in securing system refinancing. I presented a verbal report to the Operating Committee at its meeting on February 27, 1986 and indicated a written report would be provided. Outlined below is a review of the company's activity in pursuing refinancing. In August 1985 the Partnership approached the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York with a view to obtaining long term financing for the Rogers Cablesystems of Minnesota Limited Partnership. Negotiations for a 12 year fixed rate loan were conducted which culminated in a visit to the Partnership by senior officers of MONY. After their review of the financial documents, franchise ordinances, and other information which they requested, the insurance company indicated that they had a significant problem with the franchise pro- vision which indicates that the cable system can be taken over by the respective cities at its net book value in the event of a default under the franchise agree- ment. This raised the possibility that in the event of a default, there would not be sufficient funds to ensure that the lender was properly paid out. A second stumbling block was that of the interest rate. The prospective lender would loan funds to the partnership at a rate of interest of 12-7/87. The interest cost under the bank loan agreement at that time was 117. This interest differential would result in the Partnership paying an additional $337,000 per annum. This additional cash cost would exacerbate the current funding shortfall which exists within the Partnership. As a result of these factors we were un- successful in completing the negotiation of a long term credit arrangement. As I indicated at the Operating Committee on February 27th, the company is currently attempting to arrange a method of transferring the Partnership to Rogers Cablesystems of America, Inc., a public subsidiary of Rogers Cablesystems Inc. Concurrent with that transaction, the existing bank loan would be refinanced ~3~ t -2- by a member of the Rogers Cablesystems of America corporate group. The terms of the bank loan would then be amended to match the terms of Rogers Cablesystems of America, Inc.'s long term debt. This long term debt bears interest at the prime rate plus 17 (as compared to the Minnesota loan, rate of prime plus 1-1/2 rate) and is repayable in 28 consecutive, quarterly installments commencing on March 31, 1987 with 57 of the amount outstanding repayable in 1987, 107 in 1988, 107 in 1989, 107 in 1990, 157 in 1991, 207 in 1992, 207 in 1993, and 107 in 1994. This xepresent's a 3 year defer- , ral on the final maturity of the loan. This refinancing, if completed, would result in reduced interest costs, extended payment terms, and a greater degree of flexibility for the Minnesota Limited Partnership. You will be meeting with Sallie Fischer this week to discuss information needed by the: Commission for review of the refinancing through RCA. The company will provide the information so that the Operating Committee will be able to fully review the proposal at its next meeting on March 20,- 1986. Thank you for your continued cooperation.

The proposed arrangement spreads -the repayment over a longer period, to .1994 (of possibly later, if a deferral is negotiated). The principal payment requirements under the proposed arrange- ; went are significantly less each year between 1986 and 1991 than they are under the existing agreement. - The proposed interest arrangement is prime plus 1~, compared- to prime plus 1-1/2~ under the current agreement. - We contacted certain lending institutions and described the Southwest Suburbs sys- tem. The proposed eight-year repayment term is similar to terms quoted by these institutions, and the prime plus 1$ in- terest rate is somewhat lower than rates quoted by these institutions. Touche Ross fnternatianai . Touche Ross ~ • Rogers Cablesystems of America, Inc. (RCA) is a healthier financial entity than Rogers U.S. Cablesystems, Inc. (RUSCI). - The overall basic penetration of the. RCA systems, (reported to be 58.9$) and the monthly revenue per subscriber (reported to be $23.55) compare favorably to national averages.- In contrast, the systems under RUSCI generally have rela- tively low penetration. - RCA reportedly has a X20 million line of operating credit that may be applied to cover cash needs of its constituent sys- tems. - We have requested additional RCA finan- cial information from Rogers, and will update our observations .for you once we have received and analyzed this informa- tion. • The projected operating cash flow of the Southwest Suburbs system may not in itself be sufficient to service the debt each year. Rogers may have to draw on the RCA cash .flow from other operations, the RCA line of credit, or some other source to help meet the repayment schedule. - We updated our Southwest Suburbs finan- cial projection model with base case assumptions similar'to those Rogers in- cluded with its March 14, 1986 corres- pondence to you. Applying the base .case assumptions, there is sufficient cumula- tive operating cash flow to service the loan. However, in certain years the cumulative .cash flow after debt service approaches zero, leaving little margin for shortfalls from the base case y assumptions. Touche Rosa ~ ~5 - We tested the sensitivity of the projec- tions to certain less favorable assump- tions. If the prime rate were to increase to 11%, the system's cumulative cash flow would not be sufficient in certain years to service the debt. If the. system's basic penetration were to cap-at 45~, the system's cumulative cash flow would not be sufficient in certain years to service the debt. A deferral of the principal repay- ments, to begin in 1988 and extend into 1996, would enable the system to service its debt each year out of operating cash flow, even if the prime rate were at 11% and basic penetration capped at 45% (and all other assumptions remained the same as in the base case). - Even under the unfavorable assumptions (11% prime rate and 45% basic penetration cap) the system's projected cumulative cash flow after debt service eventually becomes positive by 1995 or 1996. If RCA or other funds were made available (at .an interest rate of prime plus 1%) for the interim periods of cash shortfalls, the system could eventually service its own debt. Given the other assumptions (base case with a 45% basic penetration cap), the prime rate would need to aver- age about 13% to cause the system not to be able to cumulatively service its debt by 1996.. • Certain other information should be obtained from-Rogers to help assure the adequacy of the proposed change in financing, including: /~Touche Ross P ~ !/'~G/ - Confirmation of the terms of the appli- cable loan arrangement, including the interest requirement, repayment schedule, and covenants. - Assurance .that other .sources of funds (for example, from RCA operations or from .RCA's line of credit) will be available to service the Southwest Suburbs debt for any periods where the Southwest .Suburbs' immediate cash flow may be insufficient. I will report further to you when we have reviewed the additional RCA financial information we have requested. The conclusions I have expressed in this letter are subject to the review of this information and to your receipt of the confirmation and assurances from Rogers described above. Please contact me at (503) 243-6333 if you have .any ques- tions. Sincerely, .Jay C. Smith .JCS/jim CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA :Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 170 Agenda April 28, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members Of The City Council .City of Richfield Subject: Amendment to the Hub Shopping Center Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan to Allow the North Entry to the Marshall's Store To Be An Emergency Exit Only City Council Members: In April of 1982, the City Council approved a final development plan for improvements to the Hub Shopping Center. These improvements included a building addition to increase the size of the space which is now occupied by the Marshalls Store. The final development plan included the following stipulation: "United National Corporation agree to install, a major customer entrance on the north side of the building formerly occupied by Sibley's and proposed to be occupied by Marshalls, with the entrance consisting of double glass doors with a minimum width of six feet for the two doors combined". Representatives of the Marshalls Store have subsequently requested that-this stipulation be eliminated to allow the north entry to be an emergency exit only. , Staff Review The requirement for the north entrance was stipulated because of parking concerns at the Hub Center. The north entry encourages customers to use the underutilized north parking lot rather .than the main south parking lot. Representatives of Korner Plaza were very concerned that Marshalls customers. would use up all the parking in the south lot and Korner Plaza customers would not have a place to park. Marshalls Store has been having shoplifting problems and their representatives believe that use of the north door contributes to the problem. Shoplifters are able to leave the store through the north door and escape in cars waiting outside the door. According to Marshalls representatives, customers are not using that entrance, so they do not have a person at the north door cash register except during peak times. Marshalls also indicated that the installation of security-cameras has not solved their problem. They have also expressed concern about the U \ r safety of store personnel who try to stop shoplifters. Representatives of Marshall feel that changing the entry to an "emergency .exit only" is the only way to safely solve the shoplifting problem. r Public Safety Review Public Safety Department personnel concur. that there is a shoplifting problem at Marshalls and that the north door is one significant factor to the problem. Marshalls was aware of the potential shoplifting problem when the store was originally designed. It is the opinion of the Public Safety Department that Marshalls did not design the interior layout of the store properly to control the problem and have ignored public safety suggestions on ways to deal with the shoplifting. .These suggestions include,: 1. Have a person at the north end cash register at all times 2. Install turnstiles so that customers must exit past the cash register 3. Have uniformed security personnel on duty 4. Change the interior layout of the store to open up the store and allow better observation 5. Have more on-duty personnel circulating through the store Recommendation: It is staff's belief that Marshalls could take actions to deal with the shoplifting problem through alternative interior design and by the use of additional management techniques. Staff further feels that it is important to encourage the use of the north .parking lot to take the pressure off of the south parking lot. It is recommended that the city council hold the public hearing, and maintain the stipulation that the north entry remain as a customer entrance. It is further recommended that Marshalls be encouraged to implement the suggestions of the public safety department to deal with the shoplifting problem.

The plans and specifications for the 1986 alley paving project are essentially the same as in previous years. The standard 11 foot concrete alley cross-section will be installed. Asphalt will be placed between garages or fences and the concrete alley where the garages or fences. are three feet or less from the concrete. If the garages are more than three feet away, sod will be installed. Driveways and other areas will be matched in to tfie alley with the same material as existed. The contractor will be given 20 working days to complete the work. This should allow .sufficient time to complete the work, while at the same time requiring the contractor to follow up each phase of the construction immediately after the previous phase. It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering the placement of an advertisement for bids. The bid opening is scheduled for May 28, with award of contract to be considered by the city council on June 9, 1986.

John, Hamilton Mayor ATTEST: Thomas Ferber City Clerk /n / I ~V / CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 166 Agenda April 28, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Authorization to Submit Grant Application For Legion Lake Improvements Council Members: ' Preliminary applications must be submitted by May 5, -1986 for fiscal year 1987 Federal Land & Water Conservation (LAWCON) and State Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR). grants to acquire and develop outdoor recreation facilities. This is the traditional LAWCON/LCMR grant program which focuses funding on natural resource-oriented recreation facilities such as swimming beaches, trails and boat launches located on high quality natural amenity sites. It appears there is $380,000 available for projects in thee seven-county Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area. Current appropriation language provides that: 1} A local government applicant may not receive more than one state LCMR grant per biennium (fiscal years 1986 and 1987) and 2) the per-project limit for state LCMR grants is $200,000 for the life of a project. (regardless of the number of grants awarded). Neither of the restrictions on LCMR funding apply to the federal LAWCON fund appropriation. Availability of LAWCON funding is contingent on congressional action and is, therefore, unknown at this time. The following are the various formulas which could be utilized to program available funds for ranked applications: A. Based on ranking and availability of LAWCON funds., applications could. be recommended for fundings as follows: LAWCON grant 50% LCMR grant 25% Local share 25% B. If no LAWCON funds are available or .after all LAWCON funds have been programmed, applications could be recommended for. funding as follows:.. y~-~, LCMR grant. 50% Local Share 25% C. Because of the limited amount of available LAWCON and LCMR funds, grant amounts may be restricted to no greater than 50% of total eligible projects costs, regardless of the funding source. Should federal LAWCON funds be approved for a local park project, the local park sponsor must assure that no person on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, or handicap be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be ~ otherwise subjected to discrimination with respect to use of a LAWCON fund-assisted park.

Dev'ch Acting City Manager SD/eja V I r CITY OF RICHFIELD, .MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 165 Agenda April 28, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Approval of an Off-street Parking Permit at 7400 Cedar Avenue Council Members: The owners of 7400 Cedar Avenue (Seventy Four Hundred Cedar Partners) have applied for an off-street parking permit to allow them to renovate and expand the existing office building at this ~ address. The applicant wishes to add a 1,673 square foot addition to the north and east of the existing 652 square foot building. (See attached map). The existing parking area to the east of the building would be upgraded by adding perimeter curbing and new striping. The parking lot would .provide the required 12 parking spaces for a building this size. Staff can find no record of an existing off-street parking permit for the site. Therefore, city council approval is necessary prior to the issuance of complete building permits (footing permits only have been issued). Staff has reviewed the proposed plan and finds it meets city guidelines and standards except for the width of the curb cut and the drainage plan. The existing curb cut, which is proposed to remain, is 22 feet wide. The city recently increased. the minimum driveway width for commercial property from 20 feet to 26 feet. The city staff believes that because this is an existing parking lot and because. traffic volumes will not be excessive, the 22 feet width should be sufficient. The staff does not believe that the proposed site drainage is appropriate. The applicant proposes to construct a 3 foot wide concrete channel to drains major portion of the parking lot to 74th Street. The remainder of the lot would drain out the curb cut to Cedar Avenue.. It is staff's recommendation that a catch basin be constructed to tie into the city's storm sewer in place of the concrete. channel.- The design and location of the catch basin should be approved by the city engineer. a Q Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving the off-street parking permit with the following stipulation: 1. That a revised drainage plan showing a catch basin in place of the concrete drainage plan be submitted for approval of the .city .engineer.

Council Letter No. 164 Agenda April 28, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Purchase in Excess of $5,000 For Golf Course Turf Mower Council Members: 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. There. is one such item on the agenda for April 28. Turf Mower Since the opening of Richfield's Rich Acres Golf Course, the city has had a cooperative agreement with Toro to test various pieces of equipment at the site, the majority of which has been mowers. The city was recently informed that Toro will no longer be providing a particular mower. Therefore, it has become necessary for the city to purchase this piece of equipment although it is not included in the adopted budget. Three written quotations were received for a current production model four- wheel front mount diesel powered turf mower with four post roll- - .over protection system: Terra Care, Inc. $10,975.00 Kaye Corporation $10,009.95- - MTI Distributing Co. $ 9,987.00 It is recommended the city council authorize the purchase of a Toro Groundsmaster 322 diesel deluxe seat, 72" deck complete with four post ROPS for $9,987 from MTI Distributing Co., Plymouth, MN.

The Community Services Director, Donald Fondrick, will review the policy alternatives and the problems associated with the current policy. Following the council discussion, the council may wish to direct the staff to either retain the policy currently in .effect,. or to direct the staff to prepare a modified alley paving policy for future council consideration. Respec fully submitted, ~ S even L. D i Acting City Manager SD/eja ss~ STUDY SESSION REVIEW AND POSSIBLE REVISION OF RICHFIELD'S ALLEY PAVING POLICY The Alley Paving Policy adopted in 198.0 (revised in 1981) resulted in a paving program which has paved 67 (including two in 1986) of 96 graded alleys. With only two alley petitions sutx`fitted in 1986, the price per foot. of alley will likely increase. Also, this low number of alley petitions may indicate that many of the alleys will be left unpaved for some time. At the study session April 28, 1986, the city ..council will have an opportunity to discuss the present situation. The attached map shows the paved and unpaved alleys. Nine of the .unpaved alleys are along T-35W, Cedar Avenue or in the LHN and are potentially subject to being absorbed by the adjacent project. When the Alley Paving Policy-(attached) was established, there were strong opinions both for and against paving alleys. Since that- time, however, there appears to be a general acceptance of paved alleys. In some cases, however, absentee owners or commercial property owners are against paving. The-city staff also gets occasional inquiries from property owners wishing to have their alleys paved, but are unwilling or unable to circulate a petition. The paved alleys look good, function well, and are easy to clean and maintain. They also have served as an incentive to "spruce up" the backs of the lots along the alley. The addition of a paved access to property may also enhance the value of.an~ ~ffected piece ofproperty. Is there an alley paving policy which better suits .today's situation? Some alternatives are suggested below: ALTERNATIVE ALLEY PAVING POLICIES A. Leave as is. .The attached alley paving policy can be left intact. A petition representing more than 50% of the property owned along the alley is required. A simple majority vote of the council is needed to order the project. It was pointed out above that this policy may make the cost of paving excessive due to the small project size. Also, some alleys will probably be left unpaved and in an unsightly, rough condition for many years. This policy, however, has gotten most alleys paved and is now accepted. B. Pave all remaining alleys without petitions. A public hearing is required prior to ordering .any special assessment project. A 4/5 vote of the council is needed to order the project when a petition representing 35% of the property has not been submitted. This alternative would clean up the remaining unpaved alleys and reduce maintenance costs. C. Pave all remaining allevs unless a petition reauestinp exemption signed by over half of the property owners on a Qarticular_aliev is received at the public hearing. ss~ A 4/5 .council vote is required to order the project. This policy ' would give the momentum to paved alleys, yet still allow blocks which have an objection to .withdraw.. D. Reduce the percentage needed for a valid petition from 50% to 35%. State statute says that simple majority vote of the council is needed for approval-of a special assessment project initiated by a 35% petition. E. Stop the-annual offering to pave alleys by instituting an alley paving moratorium for three to-five years. When only one, two or three alleys are to be paved in a season, the cost for the work is higher because there is no economy of scale. If we wait until_ a large number of alleys have deteriorated to a poorer condition sometime in the future, a consensus for improvement is more likely. I t r ~ ' ` ~ RESOLUTION No. 1:423 S s3_Y RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN ALLEY POLICY (Rescinding Resolution No~. 6345) BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota,. as follows: 1. All costs involved in maintaining an alley will be assessed against the property abutting the alley. - 2. An alley paving project may be initiated on an alley by a petition signed by the property owners of more than 50 percent of abutting property. 3. All costs involved in the paving of an alley will be assessed against the abutting property except that residential property will be assessed only for the shorter of the two primary sides. 4. The maximum amount to be assessed against residential properties will be 50 percent of the cost of paving full width of the. abutting alley. However, if the residential property is located in a block which contains some commercial property, the residential assessment will be less than 50 percent. In this particular instance, the c~.~LL«ercia'1' assessment will first be levied against the commercial property in the block and then the residential property will be assessed a prorata share of the remaining portion of the assessment. . Under no circumstances shall the residential assessment be less than 25 percent of the-cost of paving the alley. 5. Commercial alleys will be assessed for three-fourths of the cost of paving the actual full width of the alley, except that should the total... assessment collected on a block using the aforementioned procedure amount to more than the cost of the alley, the commercial assessment will be prorated by abutting footage. 6. The City of Richfield will pay the costs of paving an alley not abutting assessable 'property. 7. The type of surface will be chosen at the time the contract is awarded on the first alley paving project. 8. A minimum of six alleys in one cluster (as defined by the city engineer). or ten alleys regardless of cluster. is required for a project. 9. The deadline for the submittal of petitions is February lst of each year. 10. The maximum assessment for commercial properties in a block will not exceed 75 percent of the cost of the alleys to be paved and the minimum assessment shall be at least 50 percent of this cost. 11. If a commercial lot has an alley on two primary sides, the commercial property will be assessed only for the longer of the two sides. . _ -,.-.;...~,~-.a,:: : , . - - , .mss- _ ~ 5 ~ ~Yae City Council of the City of Richfield. this 11th Donald J.

City-staff has been investigating a number of sidewalk plowing equipment attachments. Some were too large, some were too small, some were difficult to operate or had little flexibility. Of the twenty or so pieces of equipment examined, five might be suitable for Richfield sidewalk snow removal operations. Plows may be the fastest, but they cause the greatest amount of damage by cutting and scarifying turf. Blowers are slower, but there is less .damage and the sidewalk is generally cleaner. In looking at the three tractors currently available and the possible attachments, it appears two Blower replacements would be needed. In addition, two new tractors, with Blower attachments would be recommended. The total purchase price for .this new equipment is estimated at $76,800. This would provide the city with five units, each responsible for 9 miles, more or less, of sidewalk snow removal. It is estimated the five sidewalk districts could have snow removal completed in 9-10 hours. This completion time would be de endent on several P factors. For .exam le the cit could low a sidewalk the first P ~ Y P time, but would need to return a second time after the county had plowed streets. If sidewalks are to be a priority in snow removal, it must be-made clear that skating rink cleaning and/or parking lot cleaning would be delayed and would have to wait. the other alternative might be an increase in manpower needs. One immediate step that could be taken to increase the efficiency of sidewalk snow removal would be relocation of the 102 -signs to the "non-curb".side of city sidewalks. It is estimated the cost would be $2,550 and the work could be done ss~-~ r during the Summer and Fall, prior to the 1986/87 winter season. Another factor related to sidewalk snow removal is that there are 60 hydrants located adjacent to sidewalks. It would cost an estimated $48,000 to relocate hydrants at one time. However, should there be an accident, .improvement in the area or some other activity necessitating work on hydrants, they could be relocated at that time. There are also 187 street lights adjacent to city sidewalks. It is estimated that it would cost $121,550 to relocate street lights at one time. City staff feels that this is too expensive to do at the present time, but that relocation could take place when there is a new street lighting replacement program. STREET SNOW REMOVAL The adopted 1986 budget includes purchase of a new plow attachment for a front end loader to be used in snow removal operations on city streets. It may be prudent to look into the possibility of a second front end loader plow attachment so city streets, would experience the same quality of snow removal where 'front end loaders are used. At the present time, the city has one undercarriage plow which was used as an experiment in one of the street plowing districts during the 1985/86 winter season. The results appeared to be quite successful. Although not in the adopted budget, the city council may wish to consider the purchase of four additional undercarriage plows for districts where trucks are used. It is estimated the cost to purchase the plow attachments for the front end loaders would be $13,800 each. The undercarriage plows are estimated to cost $4,500 each..

A study session with the city council and Mr. Nollenberger has been scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 28, 1986. The purpose of the study session is to review a Richfield Community Profile and other matters relating to the recruitment process. Res ctfully ubm' ted, " n D,.vic Ac ing City Manager SD/eja ~ ~ss~-~ ' FACTS ABOUT RICHFIELD AND ITS CITY~GOVERNMENT THE CITY Richfield is primarily a single family residential community with limited multiple residential, industrial and commercial develop- ment. Geographically, the city encompasses seven (7} square miles. Established within the community is a quality public educational school system which includes a senior high school, two junior high schools, and four elementary schools. Richfield's present popula- tion is 42,500. Access to an excellent highway system which surrounds Richf field enables its residents to enjoy the conveniences .and privacy of suburban living .and yet be only minutes away from-most of the cultural and recreational facilities available in the Twin City Metropolitan Area. TI3E GOVERNMENT Richfield was incorporated. as a village in 1908. The residents .approved a village manager form of government~on November 7,1950.. On November 3, 1964, voters adopted a home rule charter and Rich- field became a city with council-manager government. .The city council consists of a mayor and four council members. The council has the responsibility of making basic policy decisions for the community,. including the appointment of a city manager, who has. the responsibility of putting council policies into. effect and administering the affairs of city government. Since adopting the village manager form of government in 1950, four persons have held this position. The present five member city council has served a total of 48 years. Council members are presently elected at-large.- However, an amendment to the city charter adopted last fall provides that beginning in 1981, three of Richf field's five council officials will be elected by district,. with the mayor and one council member to. continue election at-large. The Richfield city government is organized into nine functional departments: Executive, Environmental Health, Finance, Legal, Park and Recreation, Planning and Redevelopment, Public Safety, .Public Works and the Municipal Liguor Stores, with a total of 209 full time employees and a general fund budget for 1979 of $6,313,731. Richfield has just completed a seven year permanent street.improve- ment project in which 120 miles of city streets were paved and curb, gutters and ornamental street lighting were installed. The city is-presently involved in a multi-million dollar tax increm- ent financing redevelopment project at one of our major shopping center areas. s S/-.3 ~ ~ Construction will begin this summer of an 18-hole municipal golf course which will be constructed on 186 acres of land the city ' has leased from the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Richfield is .also involved in a systematic park improvement program, and is hoping within the next few years to redevelop most of the city's parks. Funds for this purpose are provided primarily from profits of the three municipal liquor stores and Community Development Block Grant funds. The council members also sit as the Richfield HRA, of which the City Manager serves as Executive. Director. In addition to manag- ing the redevelopment project, the HRA administers several housing rehabilitation and assistance programs, including a Section 8 Leased Housing Program. i r
