Council Letter No. .122
Agenda March 26,1984
Subject: Request for Authorization to Initiate Eminent Domain 708 Vest
66th Street, LHN Project
Council Members:
On March 26, the HRA and City Council will meet concurrently to hear a
presentation for the development of Market Plaza on the site bounded by Lyndale
Avenue and 65th Street and located within the LHN Project. The HRA will
then be requested to authorize execution of a developer's agreement.
The HRA must provide the site to Derrick Land Company in a timely manner.
The western portion of the block is owned by the HRA. Mr. Gordon Strom owns
property on the north side of the block. On June 20th, 1983, the HRA
authorized Eminent Domain proceedings against this property. The City Council
subsequently concurred in a similar action on October 10, 1983• On January
16, 19341 the HRA authorized condemnation of the property by "quick take".
Negotiations have been initiated for the purchase of t'ree property located
at 708 'Jest 66th Street which is onwed by Amos and Daniel Herlieher and present-
ly occupied by a restaurant. There is a need to provide the property in a
timely manner in order to comply with the provisions of the Developer's
Agreement. Thus, the HRA has been requested to authorize Eminent Domain
proceedings. Because housing will be constructed as a part of Market Plaza,
the City Council is being requested to authorize Eminent Domain proceedings as
well.
The City Council will be provided with the appropriate resolution at the
March 26, 1934 meeting. It is recommended that the City Council adopt the
resolution.

city relationship;
2-formalize a sister city connection; and,
3-plan activities to establish a community-wide sister program and
maintain it from year to year.
Attached to this council letter is a resolution which establishes such a
citizen's Advisory Board. It is recommended that the City Council
approve this resolution, and authorize notifications to be placed in tie local
newspapers and on cable television that the city is seeking applicants for
appointment to the Sister City International Advisory Board. Depending upon
the response from citizens, it is planned that appointments to the Advisory
Board will be scheduled for either the last council meeting in April,

Council Letter No. 120
Agenda March 25, 1934
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
SubjecL: Amendment to the Agreement between the Greater 'Minneapolis Day
Care Association and the City of Richfield Relating to the Use of
Community Development Block grant Funds
Council Members:
In June of 1953, the city council allocated $17,814 of the city's Year IX
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Richfield Parents
Assistance Fund. This fund is used to provide a sliding fee subsidy to low
and moderate income Richfield residents to help cover day care costs of their
children. In September of 1983, the council approved an agreement with the
Greater Minneapolis Day Care Association (GKIDCA) to administer the Richfield
Parents Assistance Fund. In January of 1934, the council reallocated )4,000 of
Year VIII CDBG funds which were originally designated for improving facilities
at the Richfield Fun Club day care center to the Richfield Parents Assistance
Fund. The X17,314 originally allocated to this program will be used up
assisting 11 Richfield children.
As of %9arch 13, 1934, GMDCA was assisting 9 children (3 families). Two
more children will be included in the program soon, making a total of 11
children in the program. There are currently seventeen Richfield
families on a waiting list for this assistance. The additional $4,000 will be
used to assist two or three additional families on the waiting list. The
program has not been advertised or promoted in any way by the city. It is
staff's opinion that there are other eligible families in need of this
assistance over and above those already on the waiting list so there is a need
for these additional funds. City staff recommends approval of this amendment
to the CIMDCA agreement.
In order to implement the reallocation of "4,000.00, the city needs to
amend its agreement with GXDCA to include the additional $4,000. An
amended agreement increasing the funds allocated to GNiDCA from 117,314 to
$21,314 is attached for your consideration. All other aspects of the agreement
remain the same.
It is recommended that that city council approve the attached agreement and
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute it on behalf of the city.

Mr. John Cartwright
City of Richfield
6700 Portland Ave.
Richfield, Mn 55423
Dear Mr. Cartwright:
Enclosed is the projection we use to manage the sliding fee fund for the City
of Richfield. The figures are based on average daily cost of care. The
figure under "fund cost" reflects the maximum we expect to spend with existing
families assuming that cost factors remain constant. We expect, of course,
that some rates may increase. However, this is usually offset by increases in
parent fees or reduced costs due to illness or vacations.
The projection is our prudent estimate of the costs for the present families.
As you can see we are somewhat underspent at this point and will be taking
another family on as soon as possible. We go slow in bringing families on
when we near the fund limit since families can vary as to their cost to the
program depending on the number and ages of children as well as the income of
the family.
The additional $4,000.00 would allow us to serve another four to six children.
We need written confirmation byway of a letter or contract amendment,
however, before we can make a commitment to the families.
The families now being served include six single parents, only one of which
receives any child support. All of these single parents are working full
time. The other two families have two parents, one of whom works while the
other attends the U of M.
At the present time there are 17 Richfield families on our waiting list for
this program. Attrition is very difficult to predict on such a small program.
In general we expect that some people will no longer need the program because
of changes in their financial or family situation. There is a bill in the
State Legislature for additional State funding for sliding fee child care
subsidy, but the chances of it passing are not good at this point. I suggest
that you delay advertising until we know what level of support we can expect
beyond September.
Please feel free to call me if you have questions.
Sincerely
Jim N cho1ie

Dear Mr. Cartwright:
Here are the corrected eligibility figures for families receiving child care
sliding fee subsidies from CDBG funds, after March 1, 1984. (The floor has been
raised, due to the fact that as of that date Hennepin County will raise its
ceiling of eligibility for totally free child care for working parents, funded
through Title XX and other County monies. It will raise its ceiling to 60% of
the State Median Income based on the new 1984 median income guidelines for
Minnesota received from the federal department of agriculture.)
You may want to emend the information I sent you for a press release accordingly,
in order to bring it up to date.
Family Size:2 Family Size: 3 Family Size: 4 Family Size: 5
$11,938 - $17,400 $14,747 - $19,550 $17,557 - $21,750 $20,366 - $23,100
Anyone applying to us with income below these levels, we will refer on to Hennepin
County (348-6688), on the assumption that such families may very likely be eligible
for total subsidy from the County.
Thank you for your assistance and support in communicating all this very complicated
information. I hope it will help us all to serve Richfield working parents and their
children in the most supportive way possible.

City of Richfield
Subject: Purchases in Excess of $5,000
Council Members:
In accordance with Policy Resolution No. 6847, the city council shall--
approve the purchase of merchandise, supplies and contracts when the amount
exceeds $5,000. There are three such items on the March 26, 1934 city council
agenda.
PUBLIC SAFETY VEHICLE
The adopted 1934 budget provides for purchase of a Bronco-type vehicle for
Public Safety. Two writt_an quotations were received. Brookdale Ford quoted
• $12,563 for a 1934 Bronco 4x4 while -WC Truck and Coach Operation quoted
>11,828 for a 1984 G11C Jiminy 4x4. It is recommended the city council authorize
the purchase from Gi,1C Truck and Coach Operation in the amount of $11,823.
PLANTS
A wide variety of plant materials are proposed for planting as part of the
Richfield Lake Project. Written quotations were received from six vendors, and
two of ttie best quotes exceed ;5,000, thereby requiring council approval. The
following is a comparison of quotes:

In summary, it is recommended the city council authorize the purchase of
130 Nortiiwoods Red ;Iaple, 150 Niobe Weeping willow, 20 Flame Willow and 200
American Highbush Cranberry from J. V. Bail--y Nursery in the amount of
$7,344.50. It is further recommended the city council authorize the purchase
of 200 Tamarack, 300 Balsam Fir, 200 Quaking Aspen and 200 Northblue Blueberry
from Tru Gro Nursery in the amount of $9,750. Funding for these items is
included in the project budget for Richfield Lake.
SEWER RODDER
The 1984 budget includes $11,000 for the replacement of a fully
depreciated and worn sewer rodder. Three quotations were received. Flexible
Pipe Tool Company quoted a standard machine at ,$9,341.50. h;acQueen Equipment
quoted an Aqua-Tech machine at $9,575.00. Flexible Pipe Tool Company also
quoted a machine with an industrial engine, heavier rods and 'nose at
$10,498.00. (Net with trade-in).
We have not received machine specifications for the Aqua-Tech machine
quoted by MacQueen Equipment although the information was requested March
1984. It seems the machine 'ias been in production for only about two months
and to our knowledge Aqua-Tech has not built a trailer mounted rodder in the
past. They have sold only nand rodder turning machines. We have received a
copy of sample specifications, an operating manual and catalog.
The difference in the two quotes from Flexible Pipe Tool Company is in the
quality of the rods, engine and rod hose.
1. The heavier rods should last for approximately twice the length of
time. A set of flexchrome rods should last approximately 85,000-90,000 feet
while the flexcarbo rods would last about 40,000-45,000 feet. A set of
flexchrome rods cost $1,470 while the flexcarbo rods would be about ,735.
2. A heavier hose is metal lined and will last a longer length of time.
The cost of the heavier hose is about $475 while the lighter hose is about
$279. The hose has to be replaced periodically and the heavier hose will last
about twice as long.
3• The engine is an industrial type with cylinder liners Mde of cast
iron. The alternate on the engine is also heavier and is capable of handling
warning lights and other equipment on the rodder. The difference in cost is
about $125.
4. The city does have in stock some parts including drive chains, that
would fit the higher-priced machine. These drive chains cost X393.
Council Letter No. 119
Page Three
It is recommended the city council authorize the purchase of a SRECO
Hydraulic Sewerodder Model HM-38 from Flexible Pipe Tool Company in the amount
of $13,043 less a trade-in of $2,550 for the existing equipment making a total
purchase price of $10,2498. Although not the lowest price quoted, it is felt
this is the best machine on the market and would give the city the most for the
dollar invested.

Subject: Award of Contract - Gravity Sand Filter Controls
Council Members:
On--March--15, 1984 bids were opened for gravity sand filter controls and
appurtenant work at the Richfield Water Plant in accordance with legal
requirements. A copy of the bid minutes and tabulations is attached for council
review.
The six existing consoles require continuing expensive maintenance so
ensure operation. The new controls will provide better control of the
filtering process. The amount budgeted for this work is "P30,000. The two bids
received have been checked and examined. It is the recoramendation of the
consultant and staff, in which I concur, that the city council take the
following actions:
1. Accept the bid minutes and tabulations.
2. Award a contract to Lane Minnesota in the amount of $85,924.00 for
gravity sand filter controls and appurtenant work.
Although the recommended bid exceeds the appropriated amount, it is
recommended that the purchase be approved. Sufficient funds are available in
the dater Utility Fund to cover the additional $5,924 of capital outlay
expense. Also, staff and the consultant believe re-bidding could result in
higher, rather than lower, bid prices.

Council ,Members:
For the past several years the city has entered into agreement witiz the
Richfield Swim Club providing for the club's use of the city's outdoor
municipal swimming pool facility for a two-day swim meet. The Richfield Swim
Club has again requested such an agreement with the city for 1934.
The proposed agreement would provide for the Richfield Swim Club to host a
sanctioned swim meet for two days on Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8, 1984.
This agreement would provide that the city close the pool to open swimming on
the two days of the club's sponsored meet.
Closing the pool to public swimming in order to accomodate Lille swim meet
does have a potential cost to the city. The following estimates outline this

On March 12, 1984, the city council approved an amendment to the 1934

Agenda March 26, 1934
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Year X Community Development Block Grant Program Public 'Nearing
Council Members:
A public hearing has been scheduled for the March 26, 1984 city council
meeting for the following purposes:
1. To provide citizens with information about the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program;
2. To obtain views of citizens on local housing and community development
needs;
•
3. To provide citizens with the opportunity co comment on the Urban
Hennepin County (UHC) Statement of Objectives for 1954;
4. To provide citizens an opportunity to comment on the City of
Richfield's proposed use of approximately :$209,000 of the Year X
Urban Hennepin County (UHC) CorTnunity Development Block Grant funds.
The 1931 amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
made significant changes to the CDBG program. The amended act eliminated the
requirement for a formal application and considerably eased ?IUD's
responsibilities for review and approval of the application replacement -- a
statement of local objectives, a projected use of funds, and certification
assuring proper administration and implementation. A Statement of Objectives
has been developed to provide the guidance necessary for planning and
implementing the Year X Urban Hennepin County CDBG program in a manner which
meets the National Objectives.
These changes place almost the entire responsibility on the Urban County
for ensuring that each activity to be carried out with CDEG funds is clearly
eligible, and :newts the National Objectives of the :--lousing and Community
Development Act, as amended. The National Objectives remain unchanged:
developing viable urban comnunities; providing decent housing; providing a
suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities (principally
for low and Doderate income persons);aiding in the prevention or elitaination of
slums or blight; or, meeting other co.nmunity development needs having a
particular urgency.

• The Statement of "Objectives has been divided into CDBG program
sub-headings. A copy of the Statement of Objectives is included in the
backup material. Under each sub-heading are specific objectives and procedural
statements supporting how the objectives can be achieved. The following is a
sLwnnary of the Statement of Objectives for Hennepin County.
Program Planning and Administration
Develop and implement a Housing and Community Development Program which
addresses Urban County community development objectives, and meets local needs
and priorities in a timely and efficient manner.
Neighborhood Revitalization
Maintain and preserve viable neighborhoods and neighborhood service
centers through a program of concentrated community development activities.
Housing: New Construction
Facilitate the development of new housing, including, but not limited to,
site acquisition, public improvements, assistance with front-end costs and
multi-community projects.
Housing: Existing Rental
0 Maximize utilization of available rental assistance programs.
Housing Rehabilitation
Provide housing rehabilitation assistance to eligible households.
Public Facilities and Improvements
Rehabilitate existing public improvements and facilities, and assist in
the development of new facilities and improvements. Emphasize activities which
directly benefit low and moderate income persons.
Handicapped improvements
Ensure that program supported facilities and housing units are acc=essible
to handicapped persons. Each accessibility improvement should meet a
particular need, remove a specific barrier and represent a defined priority in
the community.
Economic Development
Undertake activities to stimulate economic development consistent with
local economic development strategies which provide permanent private sector
jobs and job training opportunities to low and moderate income persons.
Enemy
Develop the urban county CDBG program in a manner sensitive to energy
conservation issues. Provide assistance to low and moderate income homeowners
for energy improvements.
Council Letter No. 115
Page Three
Public Services
Provide funding for public services which are consistent with CDP.G
regulations and the program needs of Hennepin County and the participating
co:rununities. CDBG funding for public services should directly benefit low and
moderate income persons.
Displacement
The direct or indirect displacement of owners and renters from occupied
dwelling units and business locations through the use of CDBO funds, should be
minimized.
In 1983, Congress passed the Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 19,83
which reauthorized the CDBG program for federal fiscal years 1984, 1985, and
1935. This Act also made some changes in the regulations and funding levels of
the CDEG program. A summary of these changes are included in the attached
backup material. The main effect of these changes on Richfield include a
reduction in the amount of funds available in Year X from $288,000 to $209,450,
an increase in the amount of funds which can be used for public service
projects from ;28,300 (100)) to $31,417 OW and to the expansion of eligible
activities.
As indicated above, the amount of funds available for Year X projects is
$209,450. City staff has identified or has received requests for a number of
projects to be considered for Year X CDBG Funds. These include:
1. Housing Rehabilitation loans to low and moderate income homeowners -
$76,156. $94,035 in Year VIII and $109,149 in Year IX have previously
been allocated to this project.
2 Interest write dons to assist low and moderate income persons to
purchase homes constructed through the city's new home program -
$30,240. This is a new project.*
3. Scattered site acquisition of "garage homes" or vacant lots to be
used for construction of new housing units for low and moderate income
persons - :45,916. $373,062 was allocated to this project in Year IX.
4. Economic development activities which could include acquisition,
clearance, or interest write-down to redevelop properties or to assist
businesses wiFh the rehabilitation and expansion of their facilities -
$75,156. '151,245 was allocated to this project in Year IX.
5. Public service projects totalling $29,000. This includes $17,300 for
sliding fee day care subsidies to low and moderate income persons,
$7,200 for the South Hennepin Human Services Council (SHHSC),
Household and Outside Maintenance for the Elderly (H.O.M.E.) program,
and X4,000 for various other SHHSC programs. !v[ore detail on these pro-
jects is included in the backup. $21,814 was allocated to the sliding
fee daycare program in Year IX. A total of $3,303 has been allocated
to the SHHSC H.O.M.E. program in Years VIII and IX.
6. Funds 'lave been requested to help start up the recycling program being
organized by the city's Energy Awareness Commission. A total of
$10,0,000 is needed to fund the following start up costs:
Council Letter No. 115
Page Four
A. A part-time intern is needed to assist in promoting,
administering and organizing the effort. This intern could be of
low/moderate income or lone-term unemployed. Approximate one-
year cost: $7,000.
B. The initial promotion is an important element to a successful
recycling effort. A single mailing to all Richfield households
costs $500. Printing and design costs will bring total promotion
cost to $3,000.
C. Two-ton trailers are needed to collect the recyclables. The
trailers will be pulled by vehicles provided by volunteers. Each
trailer should cost about $2,000 for a total of $20,000 for ten
trailers.
D. To encourage greater participation, stackable tubs to hold news-
papers, glass and cans are needed. Three two-cubic foot tubs
such as those used in the St. Louis Park recyclig effort cost
about $15 per set. It would cost an estimated $150,000 for a
set in each household in Richfield.
7. General Administration of the CDBG program including application
preparation, warrant submittal, record keeping to insure that all
program requirements and regulations are met. $20,000 is necessary
for this activity.
8. $61,000 has been requested for improvements to the Cotariunity Center
for senior ciitzen activities. This includes .$9,000 for two permanent
folding room dividers, $15,000 for a patio which would include a fire-
place, benches and tables, '54,000 for new exterior signage and land-
scaping, $20,000 for an attac,Z ed storage building for lawnmowers,
gasoline, tables, and chairs, and $13,000 to replace the carpeting in
the upper level. $123,000 was allocated to improvements to the Center
in Year IX.
The total of all projects listed above is $518,4618 or $309.018 more than is
available.
A number of these projects are on-going projects which have been approved
as part of the Year VIII and/or Year IX CDBG program. The following is the
status of the prior year projects:
1. 1$94,035 was allocated to the Year VIII housing rehabilitation
project. $1,387 of these funds have been expended for 3 loans. An
additional 3 loans totalling $31,463 have been approved, but the funds
have not yet been expended. T'nis leaves a balance of $49,635 of
Year VIII funds to be expended. An additional $,109,149 of Year IX
CDBG program funds have also been designated for housing
rehabilitation. Staff is currently processing 10 additional loans
which would commit up to $73,100 of additional funds. This would
expend the remaining Year VIII funds and $23,465 of the Year IX funds
leaving a balance of $85,634 of Year IX funds.
• 2. X373,062 was allocated to the Year IX scattered site acquisition
project. $52,368 have been expended leaving a balance of :$320,694.
Council Letter No. 115

3. $161,243 of Year IX funds have been allocated for Economic Development
• activities. None of these funds have been expended.
4. $3,323 has been designated for public services in Year VIII for the
South Hennepin Hunan Services Council H.O.M.E program. A request for
all of these funds is currently being processed. $32,300 of Year IX
funds have also been designated for public services. These include
$21,814 for sliding fee day care subsidies, $1,920 for the YES Home
Service Program, $4,985 for the South Hennepin Hunan Services Council
(SHHSC), H.O.M.E. service program, $3,000 for the SHHSC Mini-
directory, and $1,081 for the South Hennepin Family Violence
Committee. Requests are currently being processed for a total of
$3,628.96. This includes $4,500.01 for the sliding fee day care
subsidies, $3,000 for the SHHSC directory, and $1,128.95 for the SHHSC
H.O.M.E. program. This leaves a balance of $24,171.04.
5. $20,000 was allocated to the general administration project in each of
- - - the Years VII and VIII. All of the Year VII funds and $4,124 of the
Year VIII funds have been expended. The remaining balance is $15,876.

monitor and process public service requests and to maintain proper records.
Additional staff time will also be allocated to monitoring the expenditure of
funds for all projects to insure that funds are spent expediciously and within
Hennepin County and HUD deadlines. The community center project would have a
balance of $180,895•
In addition to the activities outlined above, projects such as providing a
bus drop off area for the community center and the leasing of word processing
equipment are being considered for the community center.

developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suit-
able living environment and expanded economic opportunities principally
for low and moderate income persons; aiding in the prevention or elimi-
nation of slums or blight; and meeting other community development needs
_having_a_particular urgency. Urban Hennepin County objectives are
supportive of the national objective and detail their application
specifically to the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program.
Eactr activity carried out with CDBG funds must, of course, be eligible
under program regulations (24 CFR 570) and meet the objectives of the
Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program.
Consistent with the 1983 amendments to the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, 5IS of the program funded over the next
three years must be used for projects which directly benefit low-and
moderate-income persons. N
- - CD8G funds may be utilized to address a wide range of housing and cam-
munity development needs. The Statement of Objectives identifies Urban
Hennepin County Community Development needs which should be addressed
through the use of CDBG funds as well as how these funds should be pro-
grammed and used.
The Statement of Objectives is divided into program subheadings, under

CHANGES
1. The CDBG program was reauthorized for Federal Fiscal Years 1984,
1985 and 1986, at essentially the same funding level as FFY 1983.
For 1984, however, 1980 Census data will be used for the first time
for all elements of the entitlement grant formula, which' determines
allocations to recipients of program funds. Preliminary HUD esti-
mates indicate that the Urban Hennepin County FFY '84 entitlement
allocation will be reduced by 18.0q. The primary reason for the
estimated reduction was that the number of over-crowded housing
units in Urban Hennepin County decreased at a rather significant
rata. As it evidently turned out, this was a universal phenomenon
for all Minnesota entitlement grantees, but not quite as dramatic as
.the Hennepin County drop of nearly fifty percent.
2. The entitlement status of those urban counties whose 1980 population
had dropped below the 200,000 person threshold was extended. In
addition, fast growing counties that in 1980 had populations of
190,000 to 199,000 and can demonstrate a current population of
200,000 are also considered entitlement jurisdictions. These
eligibility changes further act to reduce the Urban Hennepin County
entitlement by an estimated two to three percent. Assuming a two
percent reduction attributable to additional entitlement j.uri sdi c-
tions and an eighteen percent reduction for formula application, the
Year X Urban Hennepin County reduction is approximately $776,0004
Under these circumstances, the FFY '84 entitlement amount for the
Urban Hennepin County CDBG program would be S2,976,000 as compared
.to the S3,752,000 received for FFY '83.
3. The Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds which
establishes how the UHC CDBG entitlement will be used must, in
addition to all previous requirements, include (a) a description of
the use of funds received in FFY's '82 and '83'and (b) an assessment
of the relationship of such use to the community development
objectives identified in the final statement for FFY's '82 and '83
and to the national objectives.
•4. Citizen participation requirements have been augmented to include
(a) furnishing to the public the estimated amount of CDBG funds
proposed to be used for activities which benefit low- and moderate
income persons and (b) plans for minimizing displacement of persons
as a result of CDBG assisted activities and to aid persons actually
displaced.
5. It is required that at lest fifty-one percent of the CDBG funds over
a three-year period be used to benefit low-and moderate income
persons. A plan must be prepared which specifies how low-and
moderate-income persons will be the principal beneficiaries of CDBG
funds over the three year period 1984, 1985, 1986. in addition,
housing and community development needs must be identified and short
and long tern objectives developed.
6. Public facilities and improvements aimed at river reclamation, flood
and drainage, parking, fire protection, and solid waste disposal
facilities are now eligible activities.
a
?. The ceiling on the use of CDBG funds for public (human) services was
increased from 10 to 15 percent.
8. Grants to nonprofit organizations may be made to assist in the
development of shared housing opportunities for elderly persons.
9. The emphasis in national housing policy was focused on rehabili-
tating the existing rental housing stock and making the improved
units accessible to law-and moderate income persons. Termed Rental
Rehabilitation, the new program establishes a public-private
partnership in housing. The intent is to leverage public resources,
not to exceed 55,000 per unit, with at least a similar amount from
private owners of rental housing. In addition to the public
capital, HUD will provide one Section 8 Rental Assistance Certifi-
cate for each rehabbed unit. Rental Rehab is an entitlement
program; therefore, Urban Hennepin County will be allocated its
proportionate share of the national appropriation for FFY '84 and
FFY '85, the two years for which funding was approved. By appli-
cation of the formula included in the Act, Urban Hennepin County
will be entitled to approximately $150,000 to fund the rehab of
rental properties in both FFY '84 and FFY '85. None of the entitle-
ment may be used for administration, which is intended to be covered
by the regular CDBG program. The Rental Rehab entitlement is in
addition to the regular CDBG entitlement.
10. The locally popular Section 202 housing program for the elderly and
handicapped was funded for the construction of 14,000 units nation-
wide. At least two such projects are pending approval for location
in Urban Hennepin County.
11. Funds may be used in combination with the-new housing development
program (substantial rehabilitation and new construction awarded
through national competition).
12. Grants to local governments and non-profit organizations were
authorized for FFY '84 to provide shelter and essential services to
the homeless. Separate application must be made for this assistance.
Structures improved to provide the shelter must be used for emer-
gency housing for at least three years.
13. Funds were provided for FFY '84 and FFY '85 for a demonstration
program to encourage the upgrading of lower income housing, parti-
cularly housing occupied by AFDC recipients. This program requires
separate application and a local contribution of funds and/or
services equal to 15 percent of the grant.
14. Weatherization funds were provided to be used in conjunction with a
similar on-going program conducted by DOE and allocated to local
governments through state energy organizations. TEA administers the
DOE program for suburban Hennepin County and 0PD has run a special
segment of it (improvements to properly condition homes to receive
weatherization treatment) through inter-agency agreement.

Mr. Rick Jopke
City of Richfield
6700 Portland Avenue
Richfield, MN 55423
March 14, 1984.
Dear Mr. Jopke:
Gty of Richfield
I am writing on behalf of the child care community of Richfield, to request that the
city of Richfield allocate a minimum of $17,800 of its 1984-85 Community Development
Block Grant Funds for a sliding fee child care subsidy for low-to-moderate income
working parents. This is the same amount that Richfield allocated in 1983-84.
The targeted population consists of Richfield residents with young children, whose
gross income falls between 60% of the State Median Income and the Section VIII. Hud
income eligibility cut-off guidelines by family size. Applicants must be working, or
in training, or a combination, for a minimum of 20 hours a week. This targeted pop-
ulation consists of those parents whose income is.just too high for them to be eli-
gible for total child care subsidy under Hennepin County, but far too low for them to
be able to afford the full cost of licensed child care (on the average $4,500 for an
infant. per year, and $3,450 for a child under 30 months). The current lack of public
funding for child care effectively pressures working parents in a downward spiral, as
a disincentive to accept raises or to search for-higher paying job opportunities with-
in their skill level. Our 'agency has heard testimony from countless parents who have
turned down raises, and worked hours without pay, just so that they would not earn too
much and lose their eligibility for totally subsidized child care. A sliding fee program
works on exactly the opposite principle, supporting parents at a slowly decreasing rate
as they move up the economic ladder.
The Richfield CD8'G dollars allocated to child care in 1963-64 are currently serving
9 children, and 2 more are expected to be added to this group in the coming.weeks,
making a total of 11. If the same amount, $17,800, is allocated in 1964-65, we would
expect to be able to serve the same number. Along with the need to maintain those
families already being served, there exists another need. Right now there are 17
Richfield families on the waiting l.ist, and this without the program ever having been
publicly advertised in Richfield. We know of these families, because they originally
applied for the State Sliding Fee program (which follows more or less the same guidelines),
but that pot of money is totally inadequate, and has been frozen since June of 1983,
leaving us with a county-wide waiting list of close to 300.
Families do move off a sliding fee program - ideally, by the parent or parents earning
sufficient money to meet the full cost of care. Other common reasons for moving off
are the marriage of a single parent, resulting in a higher combined income, or simply
the aging of the child, to a point where he/she is in school the better part of the
day and supplemental child care costs decrease significantly.
I hope that you will give this request your serious consideration. Please contact me

if I can be of further help or provide you with additional information. We apprec-
iate the leadership that Richfield has taken in suburban Hennepin County, in hearing
the needs of low income working parents, and of their children, and in doing some-
thing about it. The alternatives to safe, healthy, licensed child care are something
that noone wants to think about. To support our working parents, particularly those
who are single parents, we need.to support their upward mobility, professionally, to
help keep them from falling back down into public assistance. And to support the
welfare of our children, we need to guarantee that they will never be left alone or
in an unsafe place, no matter what the financial saving.
Again, thank you for your consideration and help in this matter.

Rick Jopke, City Planner
City of Richfield
6700 Portland Ave. S.
Richfield, MN 55423
Dear Rick:
This letter is a request for funding of the H.O.M.E. (Household and Outside
Maintenance for Elderly) Program utilizing Richfield Community Development
Block Grant Year X allocation. The formal request is for $7,200.
H.O.M.E. has worked with Richfield for the past two years in providing chore/
homemaker services to low and moderate income residents. In Year VII, Richfield
allocated $3,323 and in Year IX, $4,985 was allocated. The experience we
have had in those two years documents the need for the additional requested
. funding. In Year VIII, $4,451.95 worth of no.n-reimbursed work was completed
for low and moderate income-residents with only $3,323 available for compensa-
tion. The publicity for Year VIII was very minimal and those residents
verified for eligibility-were only-a- small percentage of those potentially
eligible. It is expected, with the expanded publicty through the Mini-
Directory distribution as -well as a more clearly defined process for
eligibility, the year IX will see at least $6,900 non-reimbursed services
provided to low and moderate income Richfield residents. Unfortunately.,
$4,985 is all that is available for reimbursement.
I am confident the H.O.M.E. Program has been of great assistance in improving
the housing stock in Richfield as well as providing a trusted, quality
chore/homemaker service for Richfield resident. My hope is to provide
Richfield residents with these needed services and yet to maintain funding
sources which would adequately pay for the costs of services.
Ilook forward to continued work with you and your staff and thank you for
your support of the H.O.M.E. Program.
If you have any questions on this request, I would be happy to talk.with
you.

Dear Rick:
On behalf of the South Hennepin Human Services Council,,I am submitting
a budget request to the City of Richfield for 1984-85 Community
Development Block Grant funding.
SHHSC is requesting a total of $4,000 to address the needs of low and
moderate income residents in Richfield. Services to be provided with
these funds would enable SHHSC to:
1. Provide needs assessment, outreach, advocacy and service
coordination on behalf of low and moderate income Richfield
residents. Attached is an Action Plan to address many high
priority needs in Richfield. CDBG funding would enable SHHSC
to carry out this plan in your community. Requested amount.
$1000.
2. Coordinate and administer the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Surplus Food Program. Sufficient funds are not currently
available to transport, store and provide this much needed
service in 1984-85. COBG.funding would enable SHHSC to
continue to administer this program. Requested amount:
$1,500.
3. Coordinate and administer emergency food, shelter, clothing
and transportation services: Currently, Richfield residents
in crisis are eligible for services but a portion of the cost
to administer the program is not covered. Requested amount:
$500.
4. Coordinate and administer various energy assistance programs.
For the past five years, SHHSC has administered the energy
assistance programs for low income residents. These programs provide
both direct financial assistance as well as emergency repair
and insulation of homes and heating systems. Requested amount:
$1,000.

The South Hennepin Human Services Council has made every effort to
maximize the contribution of limited resources so as to better serve
the community. The $4,000 requested would play a big role to ensure
the provision of needed services in Richfield.

PHILOSOPHICAL STATEMENT
• The following report deals with the selection and prioritization of issues from
the Comprehensive Study.for areawide action. In prioritizing the issues
identified in this report, several criteria were important: areawide applicability,
unmet needs where there is currently a lack of alternatives, extent of need
(numbers of .people affected) and feasibility of making an impact on the problem.
As part of this selection process, it was the concern of the Implementation
Committee that priorities selected represent a continuum of life needs, not only
the needs of one age group such as children or seniors or of one service area
such as chemical dependency or mental health. Therefore, while four priorities
were chosen for particular emphasis, it was the opinion of the Committee that
we should not "lose other major identified priorities. Also, we should be
careful not to be unduly influenced by a current "popular" emphasis on a particular
human service area, such as family violence, and-thereby neglect an area such as
teenage pregnancy which is not currently receiving as much public press. There-
fore, the focus identified by the Committee was to see human service needs in
balance along a continuum of ages and service areas.

BACKGROUNO'STATEMENT
The work of the Comprehensive Study Implementation Committee is a continuation
of the task begun in 1978 with the directives of the Cities to SHHSC to
initiate the Comprehensive Study of Human Service Needs in the South Hennepin
Area. This study set in motion an ongoing process of assessing, recommending
and initiating action about issues pertinent to the human service delivery
system in the South Hennepin area.
The original study involved a thorough identification and analysis of these
issues through a Public Opinion Survey (random sampling of South Hennepin house-
holds), Key Informant-Survey, Agency Inventory and a review of available demo-
graphic data. In addition to the Public Opinion Survey, a great deal of input
was obtained through committees of citizens and elected officials during 1979-81
and reported in the Key Informant Survey and Recommendations of the Comprehensive
Study. The process was guided by an areawide Study Advisory''Committee and
four Community Consultation Committees. Twelve broad areas of human services
plus three administrative areas were addressed. Out.of this process many
.unmet needs were identified and recommendations were made along with commendations
for those agencies/organizations already involved in meeting needs in a unique
or outstanding way. The needs identified and recommendations made were both
areawide and city specific.
When the Comprehensive Study was completed in mid-1981, the task still remained
of putting the recommendations into action., To begin to do this, each City
Council desi-gnated one of its commissions to proceed with implementation of the
recommendations. These commissions (Bloomington and Richfield Advisory Boards
of Health, Eden Prairie Human Rights and Services Commission and Edina Human
Relations Commission) met during 1981-82 to review the large amount of data
generated in the Comprehensive Study, decide what needs identified had been
met or were being met-in their City and to prioritize the recommendations which
needed action in the future. Cities also reported relevant recommendations to
their schools, churches,- governments and other organizations. The reports of
each City were brought together in early 1983 in an update of the review and
implementation process.
This update was reported to a group of areawide representatives in March, 1983.
An Areawide Committee was formed, "to promote and monitor the process of
implementing the Study recommendations". The Implementation Committee is
composed of representatives selected and designated by each City through
their delegated commissions and SHHSC Board members.
The specific charge of the Areawide Implementation Committee as stated in the
1983 SHHSC Goals and Objectives is: 1) to review, confirm and prioritize the
recommendations of the Comprehensive Study which address areawide needs,
2) develop options for meeting these unmet needs for each of the top priority
recommendations and 3) to implement at the direction of the SHHSC Board of
Directors the chosen options as well as establishing a timeline for this
implementation.
This Implementation Committee has met four times to decide on top priority
areawide issues and to develop recommendations for implementation based on
the results of the Comprehensive Study augmented by the 1983 Citizen Participa-
tion Process..
There are a number of ways in which SHHSC and this Committee can appropriately
respond to these priorities and pursue their implementation.

velopment block grant program
are beginning the process of de-
termining how $2,976,000 in federal
money will be spent.
It is estimated by Hennepin coun-
ty officials that $1,355,002 is avail-
able for use within one of the areas.
The money is expected to be avail-
able to begin projects in July. The
county administers the program.
Hennepin officials said com-
munities can plan for using the

$34,819 and St. Louis Park, $253,644.
In order for the funds to be
released, a statement outlining how
the money is to be spent must be
submitted to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment by June 1, it was explained.
Preparation of the statement is
the joint responsibility of each local-
ity planning to use the money, the

Specific uses of the block-grant -
money must be consistent with

Council Members:
During the 1970's, the city applied for and received certain grants which
reimbursed a percentage of the costs to build and maintain a cross country ski
trail at Wood Lake Nature Center. Then, apparently due to a cutback in state
funding, the grant program was reduced and Richfield no longer
received the funding. With this last winter season, new state licensing of
cross country skiers commenced for the purpose of creating revenue for trail
construction and :Maintenance. Richfield again plans to apply for a grant,
which is expected to be approximately .-t1,300. it is recommended that the city

City of Richfield
Subject: Trunk Highway 77 - 76th Street Study Session, Monday, March 26;
6:00 P.M.
Council Members:
At this work session representatives from the Metropolitan Council, the
City of Bloomington and their consulting firm, BRW, Inc., will make a
presentation decribing four alternative configurations for a half diamond
interchange at 76th Street and Trunk Highway 77.
One alternative will provide for access for southbound traffic on 77 only
to travel to the east with no connection with either Cedar Avenue or with 76th
Street. This alternative will also have access for northbound traffic coming
from east of Highway 77.
• Another alternative will provide for the possible later connection of this
half diamond interchange with 76th Street. If this alternative were to be
constructed, the alignment with Cedar Avenue would have to be moved to the
west. This would then result in the removal of one block of apartments on the
west side of Cedar Avenue immediately north of 76th Street. If the apartments
were not removed, then the Cedar Avenue frontage road would then have to be
severed and rerouted. This alternative also contemplates the southbound to
eastbound to go under Highway 77. If this were to occur and if there
were to be a later tie in to 76th Street, the route would have to
be physically depressed in the vicinity of 18th Avenue continuing to
the east. This alternative would not have any impact on any existing golf
course property.
Another alternative would result in the main line of Trunk Highway 77 being
moved 45 - 50 feet eastward from where it is presently located. If this were
to occur there would then be no impact on property on the west side of Cedar
Avenue.
The final alternative, which is going to be discussed, will shift the
main line of Highway 77 to the east and will also feature a
collector-distributor roadway system on both the east and west sides of
Highway 77. If this were to occur, there would be some impact on the
apartments located on the west side of Cedar Avenue and north of loth Street
similar to alternative #2 above. This alternative would also result in the
elimination of the frontage road by the golf course, but would once again, have
• no direct impact upon golf course property. Under this alternative the
main lint: of the road would be shifted approxiolately 75 feet to the east.
Council Letter No. 113 -2- March 26, 1934
• The Bloomington and ;Metropolitan Council staff and the consultant will also
comment on potential traffic volumes which will likely be experienced on this
roadway. They will also be able to provide the council with an updated report
on actions taken by the City of Bloomington during the past two weeks, as well
as responding to other technical questions that the city council might have on
this subject.
The city council should be prepared to respond to the following points:
1. Should future potential access from Cedar Avenue to Highway 77
northbound and 76th Street east of Highway 77 be reserved? The
staff recommends that this be done.
2. Should southbound traffic on Highway 77 be allowed future access to
the business area on the north side of I-494? The staff recommends
that this be done.
3. Should a future connection from Highway 77 to westbound 76th Street
be provided for? The staff recommends that this not be provided for.
4. Should Cedar Avenue continuity from 66th Street to the I-494 frontage
road be maintained along essentially the same alignment as presently
exists? The staff reserves judgment on this question until after
the consultant's presentation.
is 5. Should the apartments on the northwest corner of 76th Street and
Cedar Avenue be allowed to"be removed for intersection improvements?
The answer to this question is tied to council response on Lhe
Cedar Avenue continuity question described above.

A PLAN TO CONSTRUCT an interchange at Cecar Ave. S. and 76th St. in Richfield was approved by the
city council on "Monday. The proposed half-diamond interchange would allow southbound traffic on
Cedar to exit on eastbound 76th St. It also provides the opportunity to open a low-cost connection from

The Bloomington City Council Mon-
day approved preliminary plans for
a $17 million improvement of Cedar
Av. near the Met Stadium site.
The project will widen Cedar. Av.
(Hwy. 77) to a six-lane freeway from
Interstate Hwy. 494 to the portion of
Cedar Av. just south of Killebrew
Dr., which already is a six-lane free-
way.
The plans will be submitted to the
state transportation department,
which will make final decisions.
Members of the Airport South Trans-
portation and Environmental Man-
agement Study coordinating - group,
who review plans for the 300-acre
a near the Met Stadium site, rec-
nded the plan to the council
,'considering several alterna-
tives for the stretch of road from
79th St. to Killebrew-Dr.
The highway will be dropped to 20
feet below grade from 80th St. to
south of Killebrew Dr. and that will
act as a noise barrier.
Major discussions about the plan in-
volved concerns from officials of the
North Stars hockey team that drivers
traveling north would not have easy
access to Met Center. The study
group adjusted its plan by adding a
ramp to a proposed 20th Av. Lt
would improve access to Met Cen=
ter's west gate.
i
The study group is considering im-
provements for other areas along
Cedar Av. and has met with Rich-
field officials.
In Richfield, council members ap-
proved a plan for the interchange at
Cedar Av: and 76th St. which would
not allow traffic from Cedar Av. to
exit in Richfield. However. officials
wanted to build into the plan the
option to add that access if residents
id0hed it in the future.

Subject: Ordinance Amendment to the On-Sale `dine License Regulations,
Requiring that Applicants for On-Sale 'Wine Licenses be Present

Council Members:
At the March 12, 1984 city council meeting, the city council gave first
reading approval to an amendment to the municipal code of ordinances which
requires that applicants for an on-sale wine license must be present at the
city council meeting when their license applications are considered.
The ordinance provisions for on-sale liquor and on-sale wine are very
similar in that public hearings must be set for license renewals, and the
public safety department conducts a thorough investigation of each
• establishment, including a review of the percentage of food and wine/liquor
sales, status of tax payments and background investigations of the owners and
managers of these establishments. There are four establishments in the City of
Richfield licensed to sell wine. These four establishments also have beer
licenses.
The proP"amendment which requires that applicants for an on-
sale wine license be present at the council meeting when their license renewal
is considered has been placed on the city council agenda of March 26, 1984 for
the public hearing and second reading consideration.

ORDINANCE CODE OF
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD
CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Chapter XI, Section 11.08 of the Ordinance Code of the
City of Richfield entitled: "On-Sale Wine" is hereby amended
by amending paragraph (2) of subdivision 10 thereof to read
as follows:
"(2) Upon completion of the manager's preliminary
report and within 20 days thereafter, the manager
may recommend to the council that a public hearing
be held upon the application. The council shall
then instruct the city clerk to cause to be
published in the official newspaper 10 days in
advance, a notice of the hearing to be held by the
city council, setting forth the day, time and
place when the hearing will be held, the name of
the applicant, the premises where the business is
to be conducted, and such other information as the
. council may direct. At the hearing opportunity
shall be given to any person to be heard for or
against the granting of the license. The applicant
or applicant's representative must be present
at the hearing to provide such additional informa-
tion as may be required by the council. Failure
to attend shall be grounds for denial of the
license. After the hearing the council may
either grant or deny the license. If the license
is granted, the council may withhold its issuance
until the applicant has qualified in all respects
for the license. If the premises to be licensed
are not complete at the time that the hearing is
conducted the council may grant the license but
shall withhold its issuance until the premises
have been completed in accordance with the representa-
tions made by the applicant. If a license has

pending completion of the premises to be licensed,
and if the licensee does not proceed with reasonable
dispatch to ready the premises, the council may
rescind the action granting the license. Such
action shall not be taken, however, without giving
the licensee at least eight days notice of the
time and place of a hearing on the proposed
rescission."

Subject: Ordinance Amendment and Resolution Relating to !n`ater Meter
Access, and Providing for Penalty if Access if Not Permitted
Second Reading
0
•
Council Members:
At the March 12, 1984 city council meeting, the city council gave first
reading consideratin to an amendment to Section 8.25 of the ordinance code, and
scheduled the public hearing for March 26, 1934.
The amendment to Section 8.25, Water Meters , sets out the city's
authority to enter premises to read, repair, or replace water meters. It also
provides various alternatiave actions to the city when reasonable access is not
permitted, including a penalty charge set by the council, shutting off water
service, and billing on an estimated basis. The amendment requires access to
be provided between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, or for good cause,
another designated reasonable time or times..
The amendment permits the city manager to cancel any of the above penalties
for good casue, if access has been provided to the city. The accompanying
resolution would set the penalty charge for this section at $5O per quarter.
The amendment was prompted by occasional difficulties associated with the
meter replacement process, although it also applies to other reasons to gain
access to water meters. Since shutting off service is the only available
penalty at the present time, and because it is not generally considered a
viable alternative except in extreme circumstances, the penalty charge is
recommended. As noted, the city manager would have authority to cancel the
penalty for good reason, and the hours of access may also be changed for good
cause. In addition to serving as an incentive to provide water meter access,
tha penalty charge also helps cover the city's added costs of repeated attempts
to gain access to water meters.
It is recommended that the city council hold the public hearing and approve
second reading of the attached ordinance amendment at the March 26, 1954 city
council meeting. It is further recommended that the council also approve the
attached resolution, which sets the penalty fee at :$50 per quarter.

Richfield relating to water meters is hereby amended by adding,
at the end thereof, the following subdivision:
"Subd. 9. Permission to Enter Premises. The application
for or acceptance of water services by the owner or occupants
of premises shall constitute permission upon their part for the
city, its employees or agents to enter upon the premises served
for the purpose of reading of meters, inspection of facilities or
any other purpose reasonably necessary for the proper administration
of the service rendered.
If the city requests access and the owner or occupant of any
premises fails to provide access to the premises, whether for the
reading, inspection, repair or replacement of a meter or for some
other purpose reasonably necessary for the proper administration of service,
true city may take one or more of the following actions: (a) impose and
collect, along with and in addition to other charges for service, a quarterly
penalty charged as established by resolution of the city council; (b) terminate
service to the premises; (c) bill and collect for service to the premises on an
estimated consumption basis whether or not meter readings are being obtained.
Access shall not be deemed to have been provided if it is restricted to
times other than 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays. For good cause shown,
however, the owner or occupant may designate another reasonable time or times
when prompt access will be made available.
Upon good cause shown in writing the city manager may in his discretion
cancel any P salty imposed under paragraph (a) of this section provided that
access to tie premises has been provided."

Subd. 2. Security Deposit. A security deposit shall be made by customers for
the furnishing of water meters by the city. The customer shall pay such
security deposit before the water meter is installed. The deposit required
by this subdivision is not a customer service deposit and is not computed with
reference to or based upon service supplied; the deposit is required to insure
the safekeeping and proper maintenance of the meter only, and for no other
purpose. Such deposit shall be equal to the actual cost to the city of ob-
taining the meter. Such deposit shall stand to the credit of the property
where the meter is installed, rather than to the credit of the owner of the
property at the time of the original deposit. (Bil-1 1974-11) 8/26/74
If the property is transferred, the deposit shall not be refunded to the trans-
ferror unless the transferee has first made a new deposit in lieu thereof.
Such a deposit shall be refunded when the property is permanently disconnected
from the water system and the meter has been returned to the city in satis-
factory condition. (Bill 1970-17) 5/10/70
Subd. 3. Maintenance of Meters. The city shall maintain and repair all meters
when rendered unserviceable through ordinary wear and tear and shall replace
them if necessary. However, where replacement, repair or adjustment of any
meter is rendered necessary4by the act, neglect or carelessness of the owner
or occupant of any premises, any expense caused the city thereby shall be
charged against and collected from the water consumer, and water service may
be discontinued until the cause is corrected and amount charged collected.
Subd. 4. Complaints on Billing. When a consumer makes a complaint that the
bill for any past service period has been excessive, the city shall upon
written request have such meter reread. If the consumer remains dissatisfied
and desires that the meter be tested, said consumer shall then make a deposit
with the finance department as prescribed in Subdivision 5 of this section,
and the city shall test the meter. The consumer shall, if he so desires, be
present when such test is made. In case a test should show an error of over
five percent of the water consumed in favor of the city, the deposit will be
refunded to the consumer, a correctly registering meter will be installed and
the bill will be adjusted accordingly. Such adjustment shall not extend back
more than one service period plus one month from the date of the written re-
quest and the minimum charge shall not be affected. In case the test shows
an accurate measurement of water or an error in favor of the consumer, the
amount deposited shall be retained by the city to cover part of the expense
of making such test.
Subd. 5. Deposit. Before making a test of any meter, the person requesting
such test shall, at the time of filing his request with the city, make a de-
posit with the finance department of the amount charged for such test, subject
to the conditions stated above, which charges are as follows:
For testing 1/2 inch to 2 inch meters $ 5.00
For testing 3 inch meters 10.00
For testing 4 inch meters 20.00
For testing 6 inch meters 30.00

From February 16, 1983 through February 1984, there were only four Public
Safety contacts with Davanni's and of these four contacts three were of an
inspection or licensing nature while the remaining contact was a public
assist. There were no reported criminal or "bar-type" contacts with Davanni's
for the past twelve months. It appears that the applicant has made a
concentrated effort to control the behavior of their customers and thus project
a positive public image.
Upon completion of the background investigation conducted by the Public
Safety Department, it is the recommendation of the Director of Public Safety,
in which I concur, that members of the city council give favorable
consideration to the renewal of the on-sale wine license application submitted
by Pontillo's Pizzeria d/b/a Davanni's.

of insurance that details public and liquor liability coverages. These
documents appear to be in conformance with the city ordinance code. Prest

submitted for the on-sale wine license for Shakey's Pizza Parlor. In addition,
the 1984 on-sale pro-rated wine license fee,in the amount of $401.47,was paid.
The corporate structure of Northstar Pizza, Inc., remains unchanged. Mr.
Richard M. Lupu continues to serve as President; Mr. Herbert W. Stone remains
Vice-President; Mr. Milton H. Sethre, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. L. R. Hovey of
Wolf Point, Montana retains 22.25% interest in the corporation. Mr. Michael
• R. Berndt continues to be the on-premises Manager. None of these individuals
have any known criminal record.
The required $5,000 Surety Bond has been submitted and the St. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Company of St. Paul is carrier of this bond. A
certificate of insurance detailing public and liquor liability coverages was
also submitted and lists the National Union Fire Insurance Company of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania as affording the required coverages. All 1983 real
estate, state sales and withholding taxes have been paid and are current. The
building and property continue to be owned by the A. J. Bogen Company of
Minneapolis. The lease agreement between the applicant and the property owner
continues to be in effect with all payments current.
Mr. Paul F. Joffe, C.P.A., has again this year provided the city with the
required accountants's statement. A breakdown of this statement for the twelve
month period ending December 31 1983, is as follows:
Food Sales: $776,969.56 847.
Beverage Sales: 150,209.22 16?
Total Sales: 927,178.78
From march 1983 through February 1984 there were thirteen reported public
safety contacts with Shakey's Pizza. This represents a decrease of four
contacts from the previous year. Of the total number of contacts, five were of
a criminal nature which compares with three contacts of a criminal nature for
the last reporting period. The remaining contacts involved a medical
emergency, licensing and inspections and various public assists. The slight
increase in criminal contacts does not appear to be a significant concern for
the Public Safety Department.

The building and property continue to be owned by the Miller's.
An accountant's statement detailing sales percentages for the year 1983 has
been supplied by the certified public accounting firm of Broen and Company,
