CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 136 Agend March 24, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Consideration to Authorize Execution of Labor Agreement with the Richfield Police Officers Federation Council Members: There. is an item on the March 10, 1986, City Council agenda providing for Council approval of a labor contract which has been negotiated between the City and the Richfield Police Officers Federation which is represented by Law Enforcement Labor Services, a statewide Police Labor Union. The contract covers the period from January 1, 1986, through December 31, 1987. This bargaining unit represents all Public Safety employees assigned to the position classifications of Police • Officer and Investigator/Agent. There are presently 32 employees represented within this unit. The major changes in the 1986-87 contract with the Richfield Police Officers Federation are as follows: 1. Effective January. 1, 1986, a 4.5~ adjustment over the 1985 wage rates for the Police Officer classification. The top Police Officer rate would be established at $2,562.00 per month. Effective January 1, 1986, a 3.3% adjustment over the 1985 wage rates for the Investigator/Agent classification. The top Investigator/Agent rate would be established at $2,729.00 per month. The lower wage rate for the Investigator/Agent classification was negotiated by the City in order to bring the wage differential between the top Police Officer and Investigator/Agent in line with comparable Police bargaining units in the metropolitan area. The contract contains a reopener for negotiations of the 1987 wage rates but rovides ~ P for the top Investigator/Agent wage rate to be set at 6`b over the top patrol rate. The 1985 differential was 7.7~ over top patrol, and 6.5% over top patrol in 1986. 2. Effective January 1, 1986, the maximum employer contribution for health and dental insurance would be increased from the 1985 level of $156..0.0 per month to $164..50 per month,. an increase of $8.50 per month. The 1987 maximum contribution for employee health and dental insurance coverages increased to $176.00 per month. The insurance contribution increase ~ established for 1986-87 brings the Richfield Police Bargaining Unit employees more in line with comparable employee units in the. metropolitan area, based on other settlements for Police employees. i 3• The Educational Incentive Program, which pays eligible police employees for approved college credits earned (up to 180 credits). will be increased, effective January 1, 1986,. from $•95/credit to $1.05/credit and effective July 1, 1986, to $1.20/credit. Effective January 1, 1.987, $1.20/credit would be increased to $1.25/credit, and, effective July 1, 1987, to $1.30/credit. Thus, during the life of the contract, the maximum monthly Educational Incentive payment for eligible officers for 180 approved college credits would be increased from $171.00/month to $234.00/month. This is below the maximum paid for educational incentive programs in comparable metro communities. In 1973, the City negotiated the replacement of Longevity Pay with an Educational Incentive Program. In past years, however, Richfield's Educational Incentive Program increases have not matched the gains made by Police Officers in other metropolitan area communities who have the choice of either Longevity Pay or Educational Incentive Pay. Many of those contracts provide for Longevity or Educational Pay based on a percentage scale of top patrol officer pay. The per credit increases provided for 1986-87 bring the Richfield College Incentive Program more in line with comparable Police bargaining .units with other metropolitan area police units. Another change relating to the administration of the Educational Incentive Program was made. The change would credit the employee with the number of college quarter credits (g0 credits) which are required by the employer at the time of the employee's initial appointment. In the present agreement, these credits would not be counted toward Educational Incentive Pay when an employee becomes eligible for such pay. 4. Effective January 1, 1986, the three police unit employees on the "Capped Off" Longevity Program will receive a flat monthly rate of $155:00, and effective January 1, 1987, $165.00. This is changed from the 1985 rate of 4~ of monthly pay. The three employees have been frozen at 4~ of wages for the past .several years. Other metropolitan area cities currently pay longevity up to g% of monthly wages. During the negotiations, the City agreed to increase the longevity payment on a flat fee in order to provide some equity between those employees under the Longevity Program, and those employees on the City's Educational Incentive Program. 5. The clothing allowance for the Police Officer classification would be increased from $315.00 in 1985 to $325.00 in 1986-87. There would be no increase for Investigator/Agents~in 1986-87. ~3 6. Effective January 1, 1986, employees in the Police Officer and Investigator/Agent classifications will receive, in addition to the holiday hours, time and one=half pay for the hours they are assigned to work on the following three holidays: New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and, Christmas. Effective January 1, 1987, two additional holidays will be added: Fourth of July and Labor Day. Thus, employees will be eligible for five premium pay holidays in 1987. This change brings the Richfield Police Bargaining Unit employees more in line with comparable employee units in the metropolitan area. Several comparable cities now pay premium .pay at time and one-half in addition to holiday leave for six or seven holidays per year. There were no other changes with economic impact and no changes in vacation, holiday, or, sick leave accrual rates. In negotiating the 1986-87 Police Officer rates, the following factors were considered: 1. The 1986 average top Police Officer rate in comparable metropolitan area communities is $2565/month. 2. Benefits provided to Police employees in other metropolitan area communities - educational incentive, longevity, insurance, and holiday premiums. • 3. The duties of Police Officers in Richfield, as compared to other comparable communities. 4. Wage and Benefit settlements of other City of Richfield employee groups. Staff. believes the 1986-87 contract, which has been negotiated with the Police Officers Federation, recognized these concerns and represents an equitable settlement for both the City and. the bargaining unit employees. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution, authorizing implementation of this labor agreement. Resp et ully s mitte , ~teven L.

This committee, which was composed of both business persons and residents in the area, as well as members representing the community. at large, will cease to exist after March 31, 1986 unless the City Council takes action to extend its term. At its last meeting in 1985, the committee requested that it be allowed to continue in existence even though the ILN Redevelopment Plan has been prepared. There are still many elements of the planning process which still need to be undertaken. These include: detailed design for those areas along Lyndale Avenue between 75th and 77th Streets, the designing of public improvements along 77th Street throughout the entire ILN project, including the designing of the berm separating the commercial and residential areas as well as the design of 77th Street itself.. i It is also possible that redevelopment will be occuring in the area which is bounded by 77th Street on the north, Lyndale Avenue on the east, I494 on the south and Emerson Avenue on the west. If this occurs, the business persons owning property or businesses in this area should be an integral part of the redevelopment process. The above elements can be best achieved by the continuation of the ILN Advisory Committee for an additional year. The attached resolution provides that the ILN Advisory Committee will be continued until-March 31, 1987, and it shall be dissolved at that time unless the City Council determines to continue it. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution continuing the existence of the ILN Advisory Committee. Res c fully s mit d, I II rQn Aeting City. Manager I • ~'V RESOLUTION N0.

Over the past few years there has been an increasing need for standardized guidelines by which all cities manage their records. To fulfill that need, the Minnesota Department of Administration, along with the League of Cities and a task force made up of city officials from around the state, have developed a general records retention schedule for cities. The purpose of a Records Retention Schedule is to rovide a P plan for managing government records by giving continuing authority to dispose of records under Minnesota Statutes 138.17. The City General Records Retention Schedule establishes minimum retention periods for City records based on their administrative, fiscal, legal, and historical value. The retention schedule is a comprehensive list of record series common to cities, and states how long each such record must be kept.

John Hamilton, Mayor ATTEST: ~ Thomas P. Ferber, City Clerk Y / February 26, 1986 Dear Mayor Hamilton and Members of the City Council: This past year has been a year with both accomplishments and disappointments. One of the disappointments was the community controversy that occurred regarding the proposed redevelopment project on the Cloverleaf Motel site. In my judgment this community controversy has impaired the effectiveness of the City Manager in his relationship with the City Council and some. residents of the community. I do not believe I can continue to be an effective administrator for this city under these circumstances. . Therefore, in the best interests of the community, my family and my career, I believe it is best to resign. My resignation is to become effective March 8, 1986. I.am taking this action after conferring with the members of the Council and with the understanding that I will be compen- sated at my current salary rate through the first week in June, 1986. This compensation will cover any accrued vacation, sick leave, personal leave, severance pay and any other similar accrued benefits. I have enjoyed my association with the City Council, HRA, citizens and staff in contributing to a number of major accomplishments. Among these accomplishments are: 1. Implementation of a major storm sewer improvement program; 2. Development of a comprehensive park improvement plan for Legion-Lake and the initial phase of construction; 3. The cooperative public and private undertaking to redevelop the Godfather Block for the Woodlake . Point Condominium and Market Plaza projects; and, 4. Continuation and improvement to the City's strong financial condition. Si erely o ~M.- ohn G. ar"-wrigh CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 130 Agenda March 2~4 , 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield. Subject: Reallocation of $10,000 Year XI Community Development Block Grant Program Funds Council Members: As part of the Year X Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the city allocated a total of $13,000 to set up . and coordinate a pilot recycling program. This project was eligible as a planning activity and was approved by Hennepin County and HUD. In Year XI the city allocated an additional $10,000 to continue the program. Hennepin County and HUD subsequently have ruled the proposed Year XI recycling project ineligible because it is no longer a planning project. The program is operating and the funds would be used to pay for the continuing operating costs of the program. .For the project to be eligible, the city would have to demonstrate that the program would be providing jobs for low and moderate income persons. The recycling project does not provide jobs for low and moderate income persons and, therefore, we must reallocate and spend the $10,000 originally allocated to the recycling program by December 31, 1886 or it will be returned to Hennepin County and reallocated as part of their discretionary account reallocation process. The $10,000 can be reallocated to any eligible project, except for public service programs such as daycare or the HOME program. The latter two programs would not be eligible fund recipients because there is a 15% maximum allocation to public service programs, and Richfield is currently at the maximum allocation level ($30,715 is allocated for public service programs, $31,026 is the maximum possible). It is staff's recommendation that the funds should be reallocated as follows: 1. $7,000 to the ongoing Housing Rehabilitation Deferred Loan program. 2. $3,000 to the new Energy Grant which is discussed in the Year XII program and in the .recent Hennepin County .discretionary reallocation process. . 7~ Attached is a copy of the proposed amended Year XI CDBG budget. Detailed descriptions of the housing rehabilitation deferred loan program and energy grant program are attached for your information: It is recommended that the council conduct a public hearing on this matter and reallocate the $10,000 from the Year XI recycling project as outlined above ($7,000 to housing rehabilitation loans and $3,000 to energy grants).

Rehabilitation (a discussion of needs, results, and project components • fOllOWS) This project involves providing financial and technical assistance to low income Richfield residents to make improvements to their homes. These improvements include code compliance improvements, accessibility improvements for the handicapped and weatherization improvements. The financial assistance comes in the form of a deferred loan. The technical assistance is provided by Richfield staff. Staff determines and defines necessary improvements for bidding -purposes by private contractors. ..The average age of the Richfield housing stock is 30 to 40 years old, a transition. age that .requires a number of major improvements to the home (i.e., furnace replacement, electrical update, roof replacement, improved insulation, and siding and window update). Providing deferred loans/grants to low income Richfield residents allows homeowners to maintain their homes and improve the general condition of Richfield's housing stock. Assistance to elderly homeowners allows them to continue to live independently in the community. • The demand for the deferred loanjgrant program reflects the needs of lower income elderly and single parent households for these improvements. There are. over 1,800 lower income owner occupied households which may be able to benefit from deferred 1oaCi/grant improvements. The project was last advertised in .spring, 1984. There has been a continual request .for assistance. In the past, residents have waited one to two years for funding. There is currently a waiting list of 8 persons waiting for Yr. XII funding. The Year XII funding level is $36,894, or enough funds for seven loans. A recently applied .for Discretionary Fund allocation of $42,000 will be utilized to cover additional applications received through advertising. It is expected that advertising will provide a supply of applicants that will again outnumber the amount of funding available to assist them. The reallocation of Year XI funds provides enough monies to initiate one additional home improvement loan. The CDBG Yr. XI Finds would be targeted to a lower income elderly household or family. The families are often single parent heads of household,-with children. The elderly are usually on fixed incomes. The deferred loan project is the only way for lower income persons to make. major repairs and,. thus, help maintain the housing stock, which of course, benefits the occupant and the entire city. These households are unable to assume significant monthly debt payments. The "deferred" nature of the assistance removes the payment problem associated with the loan debt. The "emergency loan" feature of the project continues to be useful to ensure that lower income people can resolve what seems like impossible situations for them: collapsed sewer lines, deteriorated roofs during the. spring rains, and unreliable furnaces during the heating season. _ i ' ~ =b- ~ - 0 Qne home improvement deferred loan/grant would be provided with $7000 in Yr: XI funds. An evaluation of the last three years of CDBG project delivery suggests: -The average household income for loan recipients = $10,230 -The average loan = $5,200 -Approximately 40~ of loan proceeds directed to major weatherization (furnace replacement, insulation) -Approximately 20~ of loan proceeds directed to roofing replacement -Approximately 19~ of loan proceeds directed to exterior maintenance (painting, siding replacement) -Approximately 119 of loan proceeds directed to building code items (plumbing, electrical problems) There is one component to the project:. direct deferred loan/grant ($7000). No administration costs will be deducted from the allocation. The implementation schedule suggests the manner in which expenditure will occur. B. Ener~Y (a discussion of needs, results, and project components follows) A primary objective of the Residential Energy Conservation Program, funded by the City and managed within the Housing and Redevelopment Division, is to assist lower income people in reducing energy .consumption and their fuel costs. Thus, improvements increase affordability of existing housing but do not significantly improve value or provide for the replacement or repair of deficient major elements of the home such as furnaces, roofs, etc. The financing resources for the Energy Program have been provided by the public utilities (Minnegasco and NSP} and the State Department of Energy and Economic Development. For 1986, approximately $23,000 has been received from the City's General Fund to continue program administration. Since -the program was developed in 1983, $475,000 in energy related improvements have been made to homes. Approximately 100 lower income households have received "housedoctor" types of weatherization services totaling $50,000. These funds were .provided by Minnegasco. Staff and local banks have arranged for approximately 135 loans totaling $425,000 in energy conservation improvements. These reduced interest rate loans have gone to persons having incomes adequate to support a monthly loan payment. Staff has also programed educational workshops and audits that assist residents in identifying and prioritizing needed improvements. For the 1986 and 1987 energy program, the public utilities are less likely to fund "housedoctoring" efforts as in the past. Thus, the most. cost effective delivery of weatherization services requires that various program elements be combined. Anew pilot program, the "Home Energy Check", combines an audit, education, and home improvements. On January 27, 1986, the Council authorized the establishment of an audit program with two levels of service. In the first tier of the program, Northern States Power would pay $50 and the homeowner $10 for a Home Energy Check Audit. The auditor would examine the. structure, evaluate heating system efficiency and discuss and educate the homeowner concerning beneficial improvements. Based on the funds provided by each audit, . -C- a second tier of service may occur with every third audit: "basic housedoctoring". • Basic housedoctoring would include services such as hot water tank insulation, and living area caulking and weatherstripping. These needs are determined by a blower door test. An evaluation of the need for a setback thermostat, sealing of attic bypasses, and heating system improvements is also undertaken. A third tier of service, approved by the City Council on February 10, 1986, and initially being funded with $5000 of CDBG Yr. XII funds, would seal attic bypasses, insulate duct work and exposed hct water pipes, and install setback thermostats and flue dampers if a benefit can. be determined. The third tier improvements would cost an estimated $250 per Ynusehold. It is this third tier of improvements that would be expanded with the additional allocation of CDBG Yr. XI funds. Lower income persons could benefit from this third tier weatherization and heating equipment retrofit program by the reduction in infiltration, increased comfort, and improvement in heating plant efficiency. These benefits provide more affordable housing with the reduction in fuel bills and fuel consumption.. Based on program implementation to date, infiltration could be reduced an average of 30 percent. Heating plant modification could improve efficiency 10 to 15 percent. There is one component to the projects direct grants ($3000).. No adminsitration cost will be deducted from the allocation... Approximately twelve homes could be "housedoctored" through energy conservation grants. The City initially submitted a request for 1986 Discretionary Funds to fund housedoctoring services. However, a $10000 request was denied because of the limited amount of funds available given competing priorities.- The $3,000 Year XI reallocation provides a portion of the requested amount.. Richfield staff is attempting to secure the balance from the Public Utilities, NSP and Minnegasco. CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 129 Agenda March 24, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Purchase in Excess of $5,000 (Golf Course Aerifyer and Change Order No. 2 for Storm Sewer Improvements, Norby-Wilson Ponds) 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, the authority to purchase will be submitted to the city council for consideration. There are two ,such items on the March 24th. agenda. Greens Aerifyer The adopted 1986 budget includes $6,000 for an aerifyer to relieve soil compaction and promote water penetration and root development of golf course greens and collars.- In the past it has taken five days to aerify all the greens with one machine. With a second machine this process should be completed in a three day period. A second machine would also mean the aerifying operation could continue uninterrupted in the event of a breakdown of one machine. Two written quotations were received: R.L. Gould & Co. - Ryan Greensaire. II - $6,585 M.T.I. Distributing Co. - Toro Greens Aerator - $7,995 The Ryan Greensaire II is a mechanical start with forward gears only, an 8 h.p. Briggs. engine, weighs approximately 800 lbs and aerifys 8,000 s.f. per hour. The Toro Greens Aerator has an electric start, a reverse :gear, a 16 h.p. Kohler engine, weighs ~ approximately 1,150 lbs and. aerifys 13,000 s.f, per hour. In 1985 a prototype of the Toro aerator (new in the market and the first direct competition for Ryan which has held a monopoly on the market since its .invention in the early 1950's) was tested at Rich Acres with 100 hours of operation. It is staff's understanding that the same machine, which has also been to Hazeltine National C.C. and a golf course in Florida,, U~ now has 270 plus hours of operation without major repair. It is estimated the Toro will not require major work until after more than. 300 hours of operation while the Ryan requires a major overhaul approximately every 175 to 200 hours. Future plans are to have additional attachments, such as overseeder, small trencher and top dressing unit, which are interchangeable, to make the Toro Aerator more versatile. In the opinion of staff, the Toro is easier to operate, aerifys faster, is more stable during .operation, has the capability of being more versatile and, although new on the market, has already proven itself at the Rich Acres Golf Course. It is recommended that, although it is more expensive, the city council should authorize the purchase of a Toro Greens Aerator from M.T.I. Distributing Co. in the amount of $7,995. Change Order: Norby Pond Storm Sewer Improvements A change order for $45,610.85 is being sought to allow the storm sewer relief line scheduled for construction this summer from Norby's Pond to Milner Pond to be constructed entirely within the city-owned right-of-way. The contract to construct the relief line was awarded December 9, 1985. The plan called for temporary easements from property owners on the south side of 65th Street between Third Avenue and Milner Pond. These easements are similar to the easements obtained from residents on Washburn Avenue for last year's storm sewer project. Discussions with the affected 65th Street property owners indicated a fear of the deep trench on their property close to the house and concern for loss of trees on their own property. The. property owners also expressed a reluctance to sign temporary easements. The design engineers with Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates and city staff analyzed the route of the new pipe. A new ` alternative for the. pipe location was developed. The new alternative combines the proposed 72" pipe with an existing 60" storm sewer pipe in 65th Street into a 90" pipe with the same capacity as the two smaller pipes. Although this alternative is more expensive, the city sewer work would be entirely within city right of way and would not affect any private property. It is recommended that the city council approve Change Order No. 2 to Project No. 708-1564 in the amount of $45,610..85. Change Order No. 1 was a deduction of $13,800 for a change in the rip .rap at the emergency overflow spillways in Legion Lake. Res e tfully ~bmi ted, en L.

Office of Cit Mana er Y g Council Letter No. 126 Agenda March 24, 1986 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Subject: Resolution Approving the Display of Local Artists Work at City Hall Council Members: There is an item on the March 24, 1986 City Council Agenda providing authorization for the City Manager to enter into an agreement, and set standards and policies concerning the display of art work in City Hall. The Employee Advisory Board, an informal group consisting of seven members, six of which are elected by General Services employees, (Howard Rowland, Personnel Manager, is the seventh member) discusses and makes recommendations to the City Manager concerning personnel policies and other matters effecting the quality of the municipal service. Since October, 1985, the Board has explored the possibility of displaying art work in areas of City Hall.. The majority of the art work now at city hall is the result of a project with the Richfield Schools over ei ht ears a o. g Y g The Board felt that buying new art work for areas in City Hall would be expensive and that current budget restraints would preclude the City from making any new purchases. The Board then looked at other alternatives, such as borrowing art work from the area library.. The library was ruled out, in that the employee borrowing the work could incur the cost of replacement if the work was taken or damaged while at City Hall. The art work can only be loaned for a period of 3 weeks. It was felt that this was too short a time for display purposes. Several Board members have suggested that it might be possible for the City to display the work of area artists' in .City Hall. This is a practice at area businesses, such as Group Health clinics, and the Richfield Employees' Credit Union office in City Hall. ~~-a After exploring this alternative further, it was found that three area artists are interested in displaying their art work at City Hall for the exposure benefit. The issue was reviewed with Assistant City Attorney, John Dean. Mr. Dean saw no problem in proceeding with the display of art work under the conditions stated in an agreement drafted by the city attorney's office. A copy of the agreement is attached to this council letter. Under the terms of the agreement: *The art work will remain the property of the artist at all times. *The City is held harmless from responsibility for damage or loss of the art work while on display at City Hall. *The artist is responsible for transporting the art work. *The City retains the sole right to determine suitability, display location, length of display time, etc. The artist may display a business size card on the work but may not display price. The writer feels that this proposed arrangement is a very exciting opportunity for the City to improve the aesthetic environment of City Hall without incurring costs or liability for the project. It is also an opportunity for the City to implement an improvement suggested and coordinated by employees through the Employee Advisory Board. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the agreements and set the standards and policies concerning the display of art work. Res e fully submitted, _ St L.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT AND SET STANDARDS AND POLICIES CONCERNING THE DISPLAY OF ART WORK WHEREAS, the Artist has requested that the City permit Artist to display certain of Artist's works on the premises of the Richfield City Hall, located at 6700 Portland Avenue South; and WHEREAS, the City believes that such display will benefit the aesthetic environment of the City Hall for both employees and the public and is willing to permit such display.

When Lois approached her, she said she would be happy to display some of her art work. Since-then, several other artists have expressed their interest-also.: - An agreement has been drawn up and i_t's attached. I have reviewed this with .John-Dean, in-the City Attorney's office.
