CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 6
Agenda January 3, 1984
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Request from Petitioner Paul Chellsen for
The City Council to Consider a Nuclear
Freeze Ordinance.
On December 7, 1983, the city clerk received a request from
Mr. Paul Chellsen for city council consideration of a nuclear freeze
ordinance (copy attached). Mr. Chellsen was a primary sponsor of
the unsuccessful initiative petition for this ordinance.
A brief chronology of the events related to this petition is
as follows:
1. During June, 1983, city staff became aware of the
petition effort. Staff met separately during the
next several weeks with Mr. John Dean of the City
Attorney's office, and Mr. Chellsen to discuss the
legal requirements and deadlines for the petition.
It was determined that the petition would require
1,329 signatures of registered Richfield voters (5%
of the total number of registered voters at the time of
the last regular election) to be a sufficient initi-
ative petition.
2. The first petition was submitted on October 7, 1983
and city staff determined that 1,014 signatures were
valid, 267 were unregistered, and 7 were duplicates.
3. On October 14, 1983, a "letter of insufficiency" was
delivered to Mr. Chellsen. He then had 30 days to'
make the petition sufficient.
4. On November 14, 1983, Mr. Chellsen submitted addition-
al signatures to the petition. Staff's check of these
found 312 to be valid, 101 to be unregistered, and 11
to be duplicates. Mr. Chellsen and other sponsors
were subsequently notified that the petition was not
sufficient (three signatures short) .
• 5. On December 7, 1983, Mr. Chellsen made the request
for consideration presently before the city council.
Council Letter No. 6 2 January 3, 1984
The city council has three options in considering this
• request:
A. To refer the ordinance to the voters at the next
regular or special election. This right is re-
served to the city council by charter, despite
the insufficiency of the petition. The council
may refer the ordinance to the next regular elect-
ion, to be held on November 6, 1984, or schedule
a special election. It might be possible to
schedule a special election to coincide with the
May 15, 1984 school district election, thereby
reducing the cost.
A special election could cost the city approximately
$3500 to $5000. The costs to the city include both
direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include
notices, supplies, election judges, and so on; and
indirect costs would be regular staff time. Recent
elections have had the following costs:
Year Primary General Total
1977 $3,292 $3,927 $7,219
1979 $2,836 $2,952 $5,787
1981 $3,237 $3,945 $7,181
1983 --- $4,763 $4,763
• It is estimated that a special election in 1984 would
cost approximately $3,500 to $5,000, which has not been
budgeted. There would also be some incremental cost
if this item is added to the regular 1984 election.
B. To consider the adoption of the ordinance by the city
council either in its original, or in an amended form.
As with any other matter, the city council may estab-
lish an ordinance as long as it is not inconsistent
with state or federal law. If desired, the council
could amend the proposed ordinance prior to adoption.
C. Take no action. The city council is not compelled by
law or charter to take any action on this matter. Its
present consideration is a courtesy extended to Mr.
Chellsen and other sponsors of the petition.
It is believed that Mr. Chellsen, and perhaps other sponsors
of the petition will be present at the January 3rd council meeting
to express their concerns. Also, city staff and the City Attorney
will be prepared to respond to any procedural or legal questions
council members may have.

PROPOSED ORD _ `NCE
We the people of Richfield support a mutual United
States-Soviet union weapons freeze to improve rational
and international security. Specifically, they should
adopt a mutual freeze on the testing, production and
deployment of nuclear weapons and of mi ssles and new
aircraft designed primarily to deliver nuclear weapons.
This is an essential, verifiable first step toward
lessening the risk of nuclear war and reducing the
nuclear arsenals.

The purpose of this memo is twofold and addresses:
(a) Costs of Municipal Elections (see attachment A) and
(b) City Council options in processing the Nuclear Freeze Petition
(see attachment B)-Section 5.06 (page E.11)
During a phone conversation this a.m. with city legal staffer John B.
Dean he gave assurances that the city council need not act in any way on the
Nuclear Petition at its meeting on January 3, 1984. Since the petition was
found to be insufficient the council has "no legal obligation at this point"
to consider the issue, according to Mr. Dean.
I know that the committee requested that the council hear their concerns
. on the nuclear freeze issue and that the council agreed to provide a forum
on Tuesday for an exchange of ideas and information to occur.
Mr. Dean reminded me that Clayton L. Le Fevere would be present on the
third to address any legal questions that may surface or to provide back-
ground or clarification to the process that has already occurred.
Mr. Dean also invites you to phone him if you have more technical
questions on this item. (at 333-0543).

Subject: Cost of Municipal Elections
In compiling data for this report I researched our City Charter and found three
types of elections, regular, primary and special. Definitions are as follows:
1. Chapter 4, Sec. 4.01 - "A regular municipal election shall be held
on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each
year at such place or places as the city council may designate."
0 Since many municipal elections "overlap" statewide contests (as they did this
2. Chapter 4, Sec. 4.02 - "On the first Tuesday after the second Monday
in September preceding the regular municipal election there shall be
a primary election for the selection of two nominees for each elected
official at the regular municipal election unless no more than two
nominees file for each elective office."
7"
3. Ce ter 4 , Sec. 4.03 - "The council may by resolution order a special
tion and provide all means for holding it."
year whereby three ward council seats became filled) I found it prudent to describe
only those elections that "stand alone" for purposes of analysis.
Below are shown primary and regular (general) elections from odd-numbered years,
1977, 1979 and 1981. Bear in mind the fact that those were held under a ten precinct
plan and that wards were not yet implemented at that time. (*It was difficult to
pinpoint specific charges for supplies/postage/etc. in 1981 due to the consolidation
of 4052 (licensing) and 4054 (elections) into one account number for budget purposes
in 1980, that of 4052.)

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Subject: Designation of Official Depositories for
1984 and Approving of Collateral
Council Members:
There is an item on the January 3, 1984 city council agenda
providing for council designation of official depositories to be
used by the City of Richfield in 1984 and approval of the collat-
eral pledged by these depositories.
Five institutions have pledged collateral over and above the
amount of the Federal Insurance for public depositories. They are:
Richfield Bank & Trust Company is pledging collateral of $957,937;
the Summit State Bank, $1,387,853; First Federal Savings and Loan,
$175,754; Midwest Federal Savings and Loan Association, $1,000,590;
and Twin City Federal is pledging $189,285. Attached to this
council letter are resolutions designating each of these institutions
as an official depository, and approving the collateral pledged.
An additional resolution is attached, providing for designation
of certain other savings and loan associations as official deposi-
tories in which the city will be able to invest funds not exceeding
the Federal Insurance Coverage of $100,000.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolutions designating official depositories, with the understand-
ing that the city would not invest in any of these depositories be-
yond the level of the insurance coverage of the pledged collateral.

Agenda January 3, 1984
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richf ield
Subject: Purchase in Excess of $5,000
Council Members:
The adopted 1984 budget includes an appropriation in the amount
of $13,000 for the purchase of a replacement offset press for the
Data Processing/Central Services Division of the Administrative
Services Department.
The decision to replace the press was made largely because of
problems arising from the age and unreliability of the existing
press, which is over eight years old. Over the last two years,
nearly $2,000 has been spent for repetitive repairs and major main-
tenance. Also, staff has been advised that future repairs would
be more difficult due to a lack of parts and lack of service technicians
trained to repair machines this old. A lower quality of printing, due
to poor mechanical condition of the press has resulted in reprint-
ing or the need to print over-runs at a cost of several hundred
dollars per year.
The staff has obtained quotations for a replacement press from
area vendors as follows:
Itek_Gr aphic Systems
975 Off-set duplicator $13,995.00
Less trade-in 4,000.00
Total $ 9,995.00
Perfection Type, Inc.
RYOBI 3200 Press $15,000.00
Less trade-in 3,950.00
Total $11,050.00
A.B. Dick
Model 9820 press $13,338.00
Less trade-in 2,080.00
Total $11,258.00
All of the models quoted are very similar in their operation and
features. Additional features not found on the existing press that
will enhance the printing operation include: a larger maximum paper
Council Letter No. 4 -2- January 3, 1983
- size (11' x 17", vs. 10 1/2" x 16 1/2"), sharper printing quality,
programmable counter, shorter paper path, 40% faster printing
(10,000 copies/hour vs. 7,000 copies/hour), quieter operation, and
smaller required floor size.
Based on the foregoing information, it is recommended that the
purchase' of the replacement press Model 975 from Itek Graphic Systems
be approved in the amount of $9,995.00.

tive and one alternate, with the exception of the South Hennepin
Human Services Council, which has four directors with staggered
terms of two years each. The terms of Sgt. John Nelson, Public
Safety Department, and Mr. Norris Olson, a Richfield citizen,
will expire in January, 1984. The other two directors, Mrs. Helen
Yates, a Richfield resident, and Council Member Ludeman, will ex-
pire in January, 1985. Therefore, it will be necessary to make
two appointments to this council.
It might also be noted that traditionally, the Director of
Administrative Services has been designated as Acting City Manager.
However, this position was vacant in January, 1983, and the Director
of Community Services was designated as the Acting City Manager
in 1983. It is recommended that the City Council appoint Mr. Ron-
ald Rankin, Director of Administrative Services, as the Acting
City Manager for the year 1984.
It is recommended that these liaison appointments be made
at the January 3, 1984 city council meeting.
