Subject: Concerns About the Public Employees Retirement
Association Board Actions Regarding the
Appointment Process for Hiring an Interim
Executive Director
Council Members:
The Metropolitan Area Management Association of the Twir:
Cities area, has passed a resolution expressing concern about
the appointment process used by the Public Employees Retirement
Association Board members to hire an interim Executive Director
of PERA. The MAMA resolution proposes three actions:
1. That the Legislature seek a five-year compliance
audit of the Public Employees Retirement Association;
2. That the interim Executive Director be replaced and an
open process be used to select an Executive Director
for PERA; and,
3. That the Minnesota Legislative Commission on Pensions
and Retirement review the election process of Public
Employees Retirement Association board members to
determine if there is a better way to provide a
broader representation of PERA members on the PERA
Board.
According to a newspaper article by Barry Evans, City
Manager of Maplewood, there may have been some oper. meeting
violations in the appointment of the interim Executive
Director. There is apparently also a question about the interim
Executive Director holding a second full time position with
Local 28~ of the Service Employees International Unior. according
to a Minneapolis Tribune newspaper article.
The City Manager recommends to the City Council the adoption
of the resolution provided ir. your backup which is the same
resolutior. adopted by the Metropolitan Area Management
Association,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA ~
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 364
Agenda of October 8, 1984
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Greater Minneapolis Daycare Association Sliding
Fee Daycare Assistance Program.
Council Members:
In response to the concerns expressed by Councilmar: Ludeman,
city staff met with Danita Banks and Jim Nicholie from the
Greater Minneapolis Daycare Association (GMCDS) to discuss the
administration of the Richfield Community Development Block
Grant Funded Sliding Fee Daycare Assistance program. During
this meeting it was learned that during the period from
September 1983 through September 1984 fifteer. families with
seventeer. children were being served by the program. Of these
. children, three were infants, three were toddlers, seven were
pre-schoolers, and four were school-aged children. Twelve of
the families assisted by the program were single parent
families. The income of the families assisted ranged from
approximately $4,900 to $15,700. The average income was
approximately $12,100.
There currently are ten families with eleven children being
served by the program and there is a waiting list of twenty-four
Richfield families who would like to be assisted by the
program. The number of people served by the program has dropped
because families become ineligible because of an increase in
income or because they have moved out of Richfield. Additional
families from the waiting list are not being assisted because
the amount of funds available continues to drop as the year
comes to ar. end .
The funds are distributed on a first come, first served
basis to eligible families. To be eligible families must meet
certain income guidelines that have been established by the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. These
guidelines establish maximum income limits based on family
size. The maximum income for a family of two is $21,000 and the
maximum income for a family of three is $23,600. As previously
indicated the income of those persons assisted by this program
are well below the maximum income requirement limits. The
highest income for a two person family is approximately $15,700
while the maximum income of a three person family assisted by
the program is approximately $14,400.
-2
In the meeting with the representatives of the Greater
Minneapolis Daycare Association, the staff discussed, at some
length,the way the funds are distributed and whether a priority
should be given For lower income persons. The Greater
Minneapolis Daycare Association representatives indicated that
such a priority system could be set up. However, their
experience indicated that the first come, first serve, method is
the most equitable and most efficient to administer. They
cautioned the city about setting up a complicated criteria
system since it would directly effect the cost to administer the
program. The more complicated the criteria becomes, the more
checking that has to be done.
Greater Minneapolis Daycare Association is currently
operating with 1 1/2 people and providing funding to persons ir.
eight cities plus Hennepin County. Another problem is to
determine what priority has the greatest or highest ranking
amongst alI the criteria (income; single parent; number of
children, etc.). This may cause conflicts and hard feelings and
misunderstandings from applicants for daycare aid.
Another factor that has to be considered is that persons
with lower income may be eligible for other types of public
assistance such as AFDC, food stamps and medical benefits while
eligible persons with higher incomes may be ineligible for these
benefits. Their need for assistance may, in fact, be greater
• than someone with a lower income because they are not receiving
these other types of aid.
Another factor which should be considered is that this is a
sliding fee assistance program, that is the lower the family
incomes the more aid that is provided. Therefore, the lower the
income served the fewer the number of families that can be
funded by Richfield funds.
Finally, the GMDCA representatives indicated that there are
daycare funds provided by the state of Minnesota and by Hennepin
County. A majority of these funds are aimed at persons with
lower incomes which fall below 60~ of the state's median income
which is $11,900 for a family of 2. There seems to be a great
reed for daycare assistance for families with incomes over 60~
of the state medium income because there are fewer funds
available to assist these families.
Mr. Nicholie indicated that he felt that the funding for
daycare should come from the state of Minnesota because there is
a need for consistent and larger amounts of funds thar. could
presently be provided by local units of government. He felt
that child care should be placed or. the same need basis as a
good education. People should have access to daycare facilities
for their children if they have such a need. He indicated that
child care should be a seperate funded program and should not be
mixed with other human service programs where it might get the
"short end" of funding.
-3-
He also indicated that the program needs more money. A
study completed for the State Legislature estimated that there
is a need for $40 millior. of funds to meet the daycare
assistance needs. Presently there is only $2.3 million
allocated. Mr. Nicholie indicated that there was not
administrative capability to handle a $40 million dollar program
however, but that an allocation of 10 to 20 million dollars
would be ar~ appropriate figure at this time. He indicated that
money could be saved if the state would fund daycare assistance
programs at ar. adequate level, People could be taken off
welfare and it would allow people to have jobs and 'nigher
incomes which would then result in higher sales ar_d income taxes
for the state. Mr. Nicholie indicated that there has been a
reluctance on the part of out state legislatures to increase the
level of funding for daycare assistance programs.
Based on staffs' conversation with the representatives from
the Greater Minneapolis Daycare Association it is recommended
that the allocation system be left as is. It is also
recommended that council members indicate to our state
legislators that there is a need to provide higher levels of
funding for daycare assistance programs by the state of
Minnesota.

Council Letter No. 363
Agenda of October 8, 1984
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: An Agreement Between the City and Minnegasco for
the Delivery of Energy Conservation Programs.
Council Members:
On September 24, 1984, the City Council authorized the
implementation of a Residential Energy Conservation Program for
the 1984-85 heating season. The Council letter at that time
indicated that a contractual relationship with Minnegasco would
be proposed for implementing a portion of the conservation
program activities. This letter discusses the proposed contract
and requests the City Council to authorize its execution.
. Both the City and Minnegasco are investing time, personnel,
and, financial resources to ensure that a variety of energy
conservation programs will be available for residents to
utilize. For instance, aside from a formal agreement,
Minnegasco presently provides customer residents (and all rate
payers):
-a telephone "question/answer" information service;
-home energy audits if requested; and,
-a listing of qualified contractors that repair ar:d install
energy efficient appliances and furnaces.
By entering into an agreement with Minnegasco, the followir:g
services would also be provided in Richfield during the 1984-85
heating season:
-$40,000 to administer a program ar.d make available $380
energy improvement grants to 100 lower income households
not eligible for federal fuel assistance and not able to
afford other types of improvements or financing that may be
available. The City would receive $2,000 to pay for the
additional administrative costs incurred ir. qualifying the
100 lower income households;
•
-2-
-qualified contractors, as arranged by Minnegasco (such as
• Energy Outfitters or Sentinel), would install the low
cost improvements that are funded by the grant; (this would
be called the "house doctor" program); and,
-consumption data would be made available to evaluate the
success of the grant program. It is hoped that those
households that receive a grant could benefit by a 10 to
20~ reduction ir. natural gas consumption.
In return for Minnegasco's efforts, the City will provide:
-the services of the energy aide to coordinate and promote
the pilot program of Minnegasco and its qualified
contractors;
-a list of 100 qualified households that have lower it:comes
and are high consumers and thus benefit from "house
doctor" types of improvements. A high energy consumer is a
household which uses more than the average of 1,200 ccf
annually, A copy of the qulified incomes is attached;
-regular reports to Minnegasco indicating the number of
households served each month, and the improvements made;
and ,
. -ar: evaluatior. of the success of the program.
More specifically the agreement which the city council would
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into:
-defines the working relationship between the City and
Minnegasco;
-has an effective date of October 15, 1984 to July 31, 1885
(Most of the administrative work required by the city would
be completed by December 31);
-provides the services of the energy aide at least through
December 31, 1984 (when the temporary postior. ends);
-provides $40,000 of Minnegasco's Conservation Investment
monies to Richfield to implement a grant program for lower
ir:come persons;
-assigns responsibilities for administration, program
monitoring, and program evaluation;
-permits Minnegasco to select qualified contractors; arid,
-protects the City and Minnegasco from claims, losses,
judgements, and liabilities or expense for damage to
property or person.
-3-
The City Attorney has had an opportunity to review the
content of the agreement.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the
execution of into an agreement with Minnegasco for services to
be provided during the 1984-$5 heating season.

Subject: Approval of Amended Off-Street Parkir:g Contract
for 1200 East 7$th Street
Council Members:
The plans submitted for a building permit by the developers
of the proposed restaurant in the former Robert Hall building at
1200 East 78th Street indicated that the layout of parking area
has been revised from what was approved previously by the city
council. City council approval of ar. amended off- street
parking permit is required before a building permit can be
issued.
• The revised plan differs from the previously approved plan
ir. that the orientation of parking stalls has been charged to
provide additional parking capacity. The curb cut from 12th
Avenue has beer. eliminated as required by the eour.cil, The
solarium addition has beer. eliminated, additional parking
stalls added, and a number of compact car spaces have-been
utilized. Parking on the site has been increased from 88 spaces
to 101 spaces.
The city staff notes that the developer has expressed a
desire for a liquor license. The Director of Public Safety
reports that the developer should apply for same as soon as
possible because of the time required to complete a liquor
license investigation.
Staff has reviewed the revised plat. ar.d has found that it
meets the city's off-street parking standards. It is therefore
recommended that the council approve the revised plan and
authorize the execution of an off-street parking agreement by
passing the attached resolution.

Subject: Performance Bond Release: Hub Shopping Center
Council Members:
As part of the planned unit development plan approval for
the improvements to the HUB Shopping Center, the owners were
required to post a performance bond. Goldome National
Corporation has requested that the city release this performance
bond .
Staff has reviewed the request and has found that all
improvements and conditions covered by the performance bond have
. completed with the exception of the filing of the plat. The
final plat has been completed, approved by the city, and the
owners have attempted to file the document with Hennepin
County. Hennepin County, however, will not process the plat
until some property tax questions are resolved.
Goldome is only one of three companies that have ownership
over the shoppir:g center referred to as the "Hub". Goldome is
responsible for property east of vacated Pillsbury Avenue.
Kentucky Fried Chicker< and Hauser/Sr.yder companies have parking
lot responsibilities west of vacated Pillsbury Avenue.
The owners have filed the plat and the processing delay is
not directly related to the PUD process. It is recommended that
the council release the performance bond as requested.

Agenda of October 8, 1984
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Reconsideration of the Screen Wall requirement at
the Nautilus Swim and Fitness Club.
Council Members:
Earlier this year the city council approved a plan unit
development plan amendment to allow the construction of the
Nautilus Swim and Fitness Club addition to the north of the
structure currently occupied by Hawser's Food and Snyder Drug
Store. One of the stipulations of that approval was that the
owners were to construct a masonary screening wall to screen the
loading and delivery area at the northwest corner of the
existing Snyder Drug Store. Attached for Council consideration
is a letter requesting that the City Council reconsider this
stipulation and not require the construction of the screening
wall. The property owner indicates that the screen wall is not
necessary for the following reasons:
1. That there are no new delivery doors ir. the area and
that the two new businesses in the addition do not
require deliveries.
2. There will be no storage of trailers or other vehicles
in the area.
3. That access needs to be maintained to the west side of
the Snyder Drug and Hauser Food Stores because
deliveries are made to those doors by smaller utility
type vehicles.
4. The construction of the screening wall would prohibit
use of the area for employee parking spaces.
5. That other developments in the area have not been
required to develop masonary screening walls but were
allowed to use a wood fence instead.
City staff has contacted Mr. Steve Western, the manager at
• the Snyder Drug Store, concerning the number of deliveries which
are made to the area in question. Mr. Westerr. indicated that
during a typical week they have five deliveries made to the
entrance on the north side of the building. The longest time
i
-2-
that a semi-truck would be ir. the area would be on Monday
mornings when a semi delivers merchandise from their warehouse.
The semi is typically on the site from 7:00 AM to approximately
7:45 AM. The other delivery trucks are on the site for 10 to 15
minutes. In addition to this there is garbage pick up 6 days a
week at 8 AM.
It is staff's opinion that because of the small number of
deliveries in the area, that the requirement for a masonary
screening wall may be unreasonable. The benefit received would
not seem to justify the expense of such a screening wall.
Therefore it is recommended that the City Council remove the
requirement for a masonary screening wall. If the council
believes that some screening is still necessary, staff will work
with the property owner to provide a less expensive method of
screening the delivery area.
City staff has contracted the property owners about a number
of items including providing additional fire lane signs to
eliminate parking in the driving aisle ire front of the building,
preventing cars from overhanging the sidewalk adjacent to the
Kentucky Fried Chicken property, and painting out parking space
lines no longer needed.

Re: Construction of a masonary screening. wall, located at the rear of the
Nautilus Swim and Fitness Center, 100 West 65th Street, Richfield,
:'~innesota
Dear Mr. Jopke:
As the construction of our addition at the Hub Shopping Center nears com-
pletion, we, the owners and landlords of the center, hereby request the
City Counsel of Richfield to reconsider and reverse its decision to require
the construction of a masonary screening wall behind Nautilus Swim and
r^itness Center, 100 West 65th Street, Richfield, Minnesota.
we feel the construction of this screening wall is not necessary based on
the following criteria:
A. There are no new delivery doors-in the area. tautilus and Great
Clips do not require repetitive deliveries as they maintain no
inventories of any kind.
B. There will be no storage of trailers or other vehicles in this
area. The Snyder Drug trailer has been removed and the Kloster/
Maddsen txailer will be removed shortly.
C. Snyder Drug and Super Valu have supplimental delivery doors at the
rear of their stores which are accessable only thsoug:~ the area
where the screening wall would be constructed. Although these two
delivery doors are used very seldom (only several times per week),
by smaller utility type vehicles, construction of this wall will
create a more difficult traffic situation.
D. Without the construction of the screening wall there could be
some additional "employee" parking spaces provided which would
alleviate some of the pressure or. the main carking lot. Construction
of the screening wall will prohibit this.
E. There are other recently. constructed developments in the area of
similar nature which nave not been recuired to construct masonarv
screening walls. In most cases where a screening wall was required
a wood "cverlapped board" fence was erected.
2 hope the points outlined a'nove will inf luence the city counsel's position.
If I can be of any help, please call me at 377-0494.
Respectfully su~tted.

Gentlemen:
As you know, Richfield State Agency, Inc. is making sub-
stantial improvements to its property in the southeast
quadrant of the intersection of 66th and Lyndale. A legal
description of the property of Richfield State Agency, Inc.
is attached to this letter.
Our plans call for the excavation of the area along 66th
Street to provide a depressed parking lot. This will
necessitate a storm sewer outlet from the parking lot area.
We have consulted with Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates,
Inc., with representatives of the city, and with representa-
tives of Market Plaza, Inc. (developer of the property in
the northwest quadrant of 66th and Lyndale). A preliminary
study and cost estimate has been prepared by our engineers,
Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc., for a storm sewer
outlet which would lead from our property through the inter-
section to the southerly edge of the Market Plaza project;
thence along their property to a point between P•Zarket Plaza's
condominium project and its commercial project; thence on a
new road to an outlet in Richfield Lake.
We are advised by our engineers that the estimated construc-
tion cost of this project is $170,000.
Richfield State Agency, Inc, hereby petitions the city of
Richfield to construct this proposed storm sewer outlet. We
waive any public hearing on such project and agree that it
may be undertaken by the city as an assessable public improve-
ment project.
This petition is made with the understanding that the total
cost of the project, except the sum of $15,000 to be assessed
against the Market Plaza property, may be especially assessed
against our property, with the special assessment being

City of Richfield
Subject: Purchase of Property, 6744 Irving Avenue
Council Members:
On September 10, 1984 the city council authorized
negotiations for purchase of 6744 Irving Avenue South for park
purposes. This property is located in the southeast corner of
Monroe Park.
The one story wood frame on concrete block foundation single
family residence built in 1950 has 774 square feet of gross
living area above grade. An independent firm estimated the
market value at $71,000 while the Hennepin County Assessor
estimated a market value of $72,500. It has been agreed that
. the city would pay the Krominga's $72,500 for 6744 Irving Avenue
South. It has further been agreed that the property may be
rented by the Krominga's until April of 1985. The Krominga's
have waived relocation.
The Community Services Advisory Commission has recommended
purchase of the property and the Planning Commission found
acquisition to be ir. conformance with the city's comprehensive
plan and recommended in favor of acquisition.
19$4 has beer: unusual ir. that several properties suitable
for park purposes have been placed on the market. The fund
which accumulates money for purchase of such properties would
typically purchase only once every several years. Because of
the number of properties available for purchase, the fund will
be depleted ir, 1984, but funding will begir. again in 1985. To
purchase 6744 Irving Avenue in 1984 additional funding will be
needed. The balance of the special revenue fund is sufficient
to allow the purchase at the agreed upon price of $72,500.

METHOD OF FINANCING FOR PARK LAND ACQUISITION

(Projected cash fund balance as

Therefore, it is recommended that the city council approve
the acquisition of property at 6744 Irving Avenue South for park
purposes through funding from the balance of the special revenue
fund at a total purchase price of $72,500 and that monies
received from the rental of the property be applied to the park

Subject: Authorization to Negotiate The Purchase of 7438
Emerson Avenue for Park Expansion
Council Members:
The property at 7438 Emerson Avenue South, east of ar.d
adjacent to Fremont Park, was recently placed on the market.
Contact has been made with the seller who indicates interest in
selling to the city. Appraisals have been completed. An
independent appraiser estimates the market value at $83,000
while the Hennepin County assessor estimates a market value of
$89,000.
Purchase of the property by the city would, at a minimum,
double the size of Fremont Park, a very active mini or pocket
park. The Community Services Advisory Commission. recommends
purchase of the property for park purposes. After conducting a
public hearing the Planning Commission recommends that the
comprehensive development plan map be amended by changing
7438 Emerson Avenue South from low density single family
residential to parks and open space. The Planning Commission.
passed a resolution which found the proposed acquisition. to be
consistent with the comprehensive plan if it were amended as
recommended.
For a report on the source of funding for this potential
acquisition. as well as the site on Irving Avenue, refer to the
council letter which reports on the possible purchase of the
Irving Avenue property (Council item No. 8).
It is recommended the city council authorize r:egotiatior. for
purchase of 7438 Emerson Avenue South for park purposes.

REVISED
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Temporary Election Sign Amendments to Chapter
III, Section 3.47. First Reading.
Council Members:
One ordinance provision that may have caused confusion is
whether a successful primary candidate can continue to place
more temporary political signs on private property .immediately
after the primary election and before the 28 days of the general
election.
Ir. order to clarify this matter, Subsections 2 and 3 of
Subdivision 19 have been amended as follows:
(1) by adding the words primary, special or general
to the first sentence of subsection 2 so as to
provide that the 28 day period applies to all
three types of elections; and,
(2) by deleting the remainder of the paragraph in
Subsection 2 concerning the confusing language
about whether additional signs car. be put immedi-
ately after a primary election by a successful
candidate.
The revisions to Subsections 2 and 3 of Subdivision 19 have
been drafted to permit the placement of additional temporary
election signs by a successful primary election candidate
immediately following the primary election.
An additional sentence could be added to Subsection 2 of
Subdivision 19 to insure that the city council intent is to
permit successful primary election candidates to erect
additional signs immediately after the primary election. The
recommended language is set forth below and underlined:
"(2) No sign may be placed more than four weeks (28
days) before the date of the primary, special or
general election to which the sigr. relates; provided
• that additional signs relating to a successful primary
candidate may be placed at any time after the primary
election. "
-2-
• Another amendment to the ordinance regulating temporary
election signs is Subsectior. 5 of Subdivision 19 which adds the
provision of prohibiting such signs in the public right-of-way.
The last amendment is to Subsection 6 of Subdivision 1g.
The new provision would require temporary political signs to be
placed on private property so that they are parallel with the
street closest to the sign.
The intent of this amendment is to lessen the impact of the
sign on passing motorists and thereby encourage the candidate to
place the sigr. further back from the street. For a sign which
is parallel to the street (rather than perpendicular) to have
its maximum exposure, the sign would need to be placed closer to
the house rather than the street.
It is the City Manager's understanding that Council Member
Howard Bunce will propose a further amendment which would change
the 28 day period to the fifth Saturday before an election as
the point in time when a temporary election sign may be placed
on private property.

Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Special Use Permit at 1916 East 66th Street
Council Members:
Mr. Bruce Drury has made application for a special use
permit to allow him to operate a used car sales lot at 1816 East
66th Street N.W.corner of East 66th Street and 20th Avenue).
The business would operate out of the existing
structure, which would be remodeled to accomodate a showroom,
storage area, and eventually a body shop. The southern 60 x 40
foot portion of the structure will be used for show floor and
storage. The body shop would be located in the rear portion of
the existing building.
The used cars would either be parked on the show floor or
along the south and west sides of the building. The applicant
has indicated that no used cars would be parked on the easterr.
portion of the lot.
The business would eventually employ a maximum of two
salesmen and two mechanics on the site.
ZONING ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS
1) Section-3.33, subdivision 2 lists a car sales lot as a
specially permitted use in a C-2 general commercial district.
2) Section 3.33, subdivision 3 sets forth the standards to
be met for car sales lots seeking special use permits.
3) Section 3.41, subdivision 5 governs the issuance of all
special use permits.
STAFF REVIEW
1) The parcel is located in a C-2 general commercial
district. Car sales lots are specially permitted uses withir.
this district.
2) The building does not conform to the rear or either
front yard setback requirement. The constructior. date of the
building has r.ot been determined, however according to the city
files the building was in existence as of April 24, 1959•
•
-2
• 3) The site abuts a single family residential district
on the north side. Uses on the other three sides are compatible
with the proposed use. A golf course is located across 66th
Street to the south, a multiple family structure across 20th
Avenue to the east, and a general commercial structure to the -
west.
4) The use may create undue traffic hazards or traffic
congestion. The 20th Avenue curb cut on the south portion of
the property, which is located extremely close to 66th Street,
would make for a very difficult and potentially dangerous
turning movement in order to enter or exit the site. The curb
cut does not meet the required 40 foot setback from the
intersection. The other two curb cuts are also located on 20th
Avenue, and are within 20 feet of one another. No direct access
is available to the property from 66th Street.
5) Off-street parking will be very tenuous at best.
Available space on the west side of the building is limited to
four parallel parking spaces. With only a 28 foot setback from
East 66th Street there is only room for two parking spaces.
There is room for two parking spaces on the east side of the
site. Therefore, a total of eight spaces could be located on
the site.
• If two service bays are constructed and 4 people are employed
12 parking spaces would be required and only eight would be
provided. If one bay is planned and the same number of people
work on the site, 10 spaces would be required. This would
Beverly limit the display area. If the deteriorating 24 by 36
foot additior. on the rear of the structure were __t~_be razed
there would be room for 13 parking stalls and g would be
required. This would allow for four indoor display spaces and
an additional four outdoor display spaces could be parked or.
the showroom floor.
Staff is also extremely concerned about this parking
shortage in light of the tendency at other car sales
lots ir. the city to use all the area available for parking
inventory, leaving little or no parking for customers and
employees. This forces customers and employees to park on
surrounding streets causing problems for the neighborhood.
6) The required 50 foot visibility triangle cannot be
provided with buildings located as they are on the site. The
situation will be made worse by the parking of cars withir.
that triangle.
7) All exterior lighting must be so designed and placed as
to not be a nuisance to adjacent residential properties.
Screening would also be required between the site and -the single
family residential property immediately to the north.
-3-
As can be seen from the attached building inspection
memorandum, the northerly addition of the structure is in
an advanced state of disrepair. The structure as proposed does
not meet fire code requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Due to the many site related problems staff believes the
location is not suited for the proposed use and recommends
denial of the special use permit.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
. On a unanimous vote, the Planning Commission recommended
denial of the special use permit.

City of Richfield, Minnesota
T0: Whom it May Concern
FROM: Sivert Hendrickson, Building Official~a'`,
City of Richfield, Minnesota
SUBJECT: Inspection of 1416 East 66th Street, Richf field, Minnesota.
The nor*_h portion of this building is in advanced state of disrepair
as follows:
The entire north wall is rotting at the base plate. Both the southeast and
the southwest corners of the building a,re rotten. The balance of the walls
are sheathed inside and out and the condition cannot be determined without
removal of sheathing. All rotting members must be replaced. The roof needs
reinforcing. There is evidence of the roof leaking (stained roof boards and
rafters). The siding has deteriorated to the extent that it must be replaced
in it's entirety. Windows and doors must be replaced. Walls must meet the
fire resistive requirements of the code when re-constructed (1 hour fire re-
sistive). Roofing must be fire retardant. It appears that a structural
column has been removed.
The east wall of the south portion (masonry building) has an area that has
moved laterally about This must be corrected by re-alio ing the wall and
reinforcing it properly. A structural engineer must prepare a plan of repairs
for approval.
The bathrooms must be upgraded as to be sanitary and in good repair with proper
ventilation.
The heating system must be evaluated for specific use that may be proposed.
The roof on this portion of the building shows evidence of leaking in several
areas and needs replacement. L'pon replacement, a fire retardant roof is re-
quired and the roof insulated to the present energy code requirements (R=16.6).
Exits must be evaluated based on proposed use.
Electrical wiring must be evaluated based on proposed use.
A change in occupancy (UBC Section 505) will require compliance as for a new
building.

Agenda October 8, 198
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Purchase in Excess of $5,000 - Liquor Stores
Energy Management System
Council Members:
At the Liquor Operations Budget Review session, the Liquor
Operations Director and City Manager recommended approval for
the purchase of an Energy Management System that would monitor
and help to reduce the ever increasing energy expenditures
at the Lyndale Avenue Liquor Store.
This totally automated energy saving system has been
examined by the Liquor Operations Director and the City's
Building Superintendent and found to be effective in reducing
the amount of energy that is expended on a daily basis. The
system is currently in operation at 11 MGM Liquor Operations and
at South Lyndale Liquors. Both operations have experienced
significant reductions in energy expenditures. A somewhat
downscaled system is in use at 21 new car dealerships in the
area.
Quotes on energy maintenance and management systems have
been collected although none of them seem to have a total
package that includes all the features of the Common Sense
Energy Management System. One feature that is quite innovative
and will probably be the most economical is where cold air
from the outside is drawn into the walk-in beer cooler during
the winter months. This allows the compressor that operates the
refrigeration equipment to be shutdown when it would
normally be in operation full time.
Presently, liquor store employees have been relied upon to
be diligent about conserving energy by physically maintaining
operating standards in regards to energy conservation such as
lowering thermostat controls at closing time, keeping lights off
ir~ storage areas when not in use, and shutting down all cooling
units at night and Sundays. The aforementior:ed system would go
one step further and automatically monitor energy requirements.
With this system, monies that are now sper:t or. utilities would
ultimately be profit for the liquor operations.
-2
A similar system was installed at City Hall two years ago
at a cost of $5,600. When bids were made on cooler
conservation units in 1880, the costs were $3,692. If we were
to total those two expenditures at a total cost of $9,292 and,
of course, add on any increased costs, the bid of the Common
Sense Energy Management System would still be less expensive at
$8,885 and be more advanced than the system we now have at city
hall.
As discussed at the Liquor Operations budget session, the
1984 capital outlay of $14,000 for roof repair work was not as
extensive as previously anticipated. Therefore, there are
adequate capital outlay funds for the Management System.
Along with being a totally self-contained system that would
bypass human error, the Hopkins, Minnesota based firm has
provided the city with a guaranteed 50~ payback on our initial
outlay within the first year of operation. It is recommended
that the City Council approve the purchase of ar. energy
management system from Common Sense Energy Improvement Systems
at a cost of $8,885.

Subject: Change Order ~~2 - Public Safety Improvement
Project
Council Members:
On October 24, 1983, the city council awarded a bid to the
Maertens-Brenny Construction Company for a major renovation of
the Penn Avenue Fire Station and work necessary to complete the
renovation of the Portland Avenue Fire Station. The contract
was in an amount of $247,041. The renovation work is nearly
complete at this point.
During the course of the renovatior. to the Penn Avenue Fire
Station, some alternations from the original specifications were
required to primarily correct problems which existed in the
original mechanical system installed in the building. These
renovations were not anticipated because there had beer. changes
made during the original construction of the station which had
not been shown on the "as built" original plans and
specifications for the building. These modifications were
included in Change Order ~~1 for the project and were approved by
council action on April 9, 1984.
Since that change order was approved, several other minor
changes from the original specifications have been encountered,
agair. because the original drawings on file were incomplete.
The second change order reflects all additional work necessary
to complete this project and is ir. a total amount of
$5,883.32.approved, several other minor changes from the
original specifications have been encountered, again because the
original drawings on file were incomplete. The second change
order reflects all additional work necessary to complete this
project and is in a total amount of $5,883.32.
The funds for this change order have already been included
in the revised project budget which has been approved by the
City Council. It is the recommendatior. of the Director of
Public Safety, in which I concur, that the City Council approve
Charge Order 4~2 to the Maertens-Brenny Construction Company in a
total amount of $5,883.32.
