Council Letter No. 264
Agenda August 23, 1982
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Cable Television Budget for 1982 and Cable
Legislation
The Southwest Suburban Cable Commission has recommended a
budget for operation of the commission for 1982 to the city
council. Under the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement, the
commission is to prepare and submit to the cities, a budget for
the balance of 1982 as soon as possible. The budget becomes
effective upon approval of a majority of the five cities in-
cluded in the Joint Powers Agreement. Consideration of the bud-
get for 1983 man be undertaken when the cities consider their
• regular budget proposals in September and October, 1982. A
copy of the proposed budgets for 1982 and 1983 is attached to
this council letter. The commission is recommending a budget
for 1982 of $35,210. The budget envisions the hiring of a cable
coordinator to provide the administrative activities necessary
for the franchise ordinance. In addition, costs relating to legal
fees and other miscellaneous dealings of the commission are in-
cluded in this budget. The 1982 budget is to be financed by a
flat fee of $2,500 per member, as provided for in the Joint
Powers Agreement, with the costs over and above the $12,500 to
be financed by a pro-rata calculation of the amount each city
receives in franchise fees compared to the total franchise fees
received in the five-city area.
During 1982, the City of Richfield will pay the bulk of the
pro-rata (46%) due to the fact that our community has been wired
and operational so far in advance of the other cities. The 1982
expenditures for administration of the cable commission would be
$12,947. This compares to an anticipated franchise revenue in
excess of $21,000. The city has budgeted $14,328 for contribu-
tion to the Southwest Suburban Cable Conunission in 1982 for this
purpose.
It is recommended that the city council approve the resolu-
tion attached to this council letter adopting the 1982 cable
• commission budget. In addition, it is recommended that the city
council approve the proposed 1983 cable commission budget with
the understanding that the City of Richfield's share will be in-
Council Letter No. 264 -2-
August 23, 1982
cluded in the 1983 proposed budget to be discussed by the city
council in September of this year.
In addition to budget considerations, the .cable commission
discussed the impact of the "cable telecommunications act of 1982
(SF 2172)" currently being considered by the United States Senate.
The Senate Commerce Committee has recommended the passage of SF ~.
2172. This piece of legislation would have the affect of nullify-
ing current franchise agreements between the City of Richfield
and Minnesota Cablesystems. The commission has urged the city
council's to oppose the bill for the following reasons:
1. SF 2172 is special interest legislation, designed to
eliminate meaningful competition from the cable
industry;
2. State and local government, rather than the federal
government, should have exclusive authority for the
regulation of cable;
3. Invalidating freely negotiated requirements of fran-
chise agreements by unilateral federal action is fund-
amentally unfair, especially when the beneficiary of
the federal action - cable operators - retain their
franchise rights;
4. The existing system - which allows for the establish-
ment of regulatory and service requirements through
the competitive franchise process and negotiations,
brings the benefits of competition to the residents
of communities ;
5. Providing existing cable operators with a right of
renewal in refranchising is anticompetitive;
6. Extensive involvement of the FCC in the regulation of
cable as the bill proposes is likely to stifle the
development of cable and is not practical given the
FCC's small staff and nearly 5,000 cable systems in
operation;
7. Authorizing the FCC to eliminate access requirements
and the cable operator to reduce them is likely to
prevent the development of locally produced cable pro-
gramming and the provision of a diversity of information;
8. News services such as two-way interactive services and
institutional networks are not likely to be implemented
in the near future since the bill prohibits cities from
enforcing franchise agreements requiring their provision.
It is recommended that the city council endorse the position
of the Southwest Cable Commission concerning SF 2172 and direct
the city manager to communicate this position to Senator Boschwitz
and Senator Durenberger.

Council Members:
Subject: Award of Contract - Lime Sludge Excavation
and Disposal
At the March 8, 1982 city council meeting, the council
awarded a three year (1982, 1983 and 1984) contract for lime
sludge excavation and disposal to Vets Salvage Diving, Inc.
In a letter dated July 14, 1982 the city was informed by an
attorney for Vets Salvage Diving, Inc. that their client
would not honor this contract. This matter has been forwarded
to the city attorney`s office.
In the meantime, it was necessary to again arrange for the
excavation and disposal of the lime sludge at the water plant.
Accordingly, specifications were prepared and bids were again
opened in accordance with legal requirements. A designee of the
city manager, a designee of the city clerk, the Community
Services Director, the Technical Operations Coordinator, the
Utilities Superintendent and others were present for the bid
opening. A copy of these bid minutes and tabulations is
attached for council review.
Four bids were submitted. Vendors were asked to submit bids
for various contract options: one year (1982 only); two years
(1982, 1983); three years (1982, 1983, 1984); four years (1982,
1983,1984,1985); or five years (1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986).
After a review by the city staff and city attorney of the bids
submitted, it was felt that the three year contract was in the
best interest of the city. 6~ork for 1982 must be done in the
very near future, work for 1983 will begin in a relatively short
time and as work for 1984 is being done, the staff would again
be examining the market for lime sludge and possible alternate
disposal methods. Furthermore, settlement of the contract
default with Vets Salvage Diving may be facilitated if any new
contract for the same work covers the same period.
Only one vendor submitted a bid for a three year
The proposal included a first year cost of $53,550, a
year cost of $56,250 and a third year cost of $60,210
otal three year bid of $170,010. The contractor has

Subject: Execution of Contract with the City of
Bloomington for Public Safety Communication
System Antenna
The work related to the merger of our public safety
con~ununications system with the City of Eden Prairie is moving
along on schedule. To implement this system, the consulting
electrical engineer has determined that the appropriate
location for a satellite antenna tower to cover both com-
munities would be on a water tower located in the City of
Bloomington, at Normandale Highlands Road and Rich Road. Our
city attorney has negotiated an agreement with the City of
Bloomington for the installation of this tower. The Blooming-
ton City Council, at their regular meeting on August 16, 1982,
has approved this agreement.
It is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director,
in which I concur, that the city council approve this agree-
ment with the City of Bloomington for the installation of the
necessary antenna tower.

pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes 360.063-360.074. Richfield,
along with the other municipalities who surround the airport
property, was asked to participate on this board for the
purpose of establishing, administering and enforcing zoning
laws for the area surrounding the airport. At the October 22,
1979, city council meeting, the city council approved
participation on this board and appointed the City Manager
and then council member Vern Luettinger. as the city's representatives<.
Although this board was Formed in 1979, it is just row ready
to begin meeting. This joint zoning board will develop a zoning
ordinance as an overlay ordinance on top of the existing
residential, commercial and industrial zoning ordinances now
in effect in the surrounding municipalities. This ordinance
will have significant influence on the development of a major
portion of East Richfield and a small portion of northeast
Richfield.

The Honorbale Mayor

Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Consideration of Adjustment in Fee for
Residential Kennel
At the July 26, 1982 city council meeting, the council heard
a request from Mr. Richard Burris that his residential ]sennel
license fee be waived. Mr. Burris' request was based on his
contention that the four cats which he owns are not a "kennel,"
but are rather a part of the residential use of his property
by his family. It was Mr. Burris' position that the residential
kennel license fee of $40 was excessive; on his behalf, he
requested that the fee be waived.
In reviewing Mr. Burris' request, the city council indicated
some concern for the issues he raised, and directed the staff
to study the issue and return to the council with a recommenda-
tion regarding the appropriate application of fees for residential
kennel licenses. Council members might recall that the policy
related to waiver of fees is quite specific, in requiring that
the license sought must be for a religious, charitable or other
nonprofit organization, and that any waiver of fees would only
extend to the point where the city incurred no costs for
issuance of such license. In this case, there is no basis for
granting of a waiver fee for the residential kennel license.
The city's residential kennel license applies to both dogs
and cats, and is required when more than two dogs or two cats
reside at any one property. In reviewing this license, the
staff has concluded that the regulation of dogs and cats and
the nuisance potential which might be created by these animals
is about the same. The costs of licensing and the nuisance
potential are similar although individual situations may be an
exception to the nuisance potential. It is the position of the
staff that the $40 annual fee for a residential kennel license
is fully justified in terms of the city's regulatory
responsibility for residential kennels having dogs and cats.
Council Letter No. 258 -2- August 23, 1982
It does not seem appropriate to change the existing
• ordinance to accomodate a single situation. However, if the
city council desires to accomodate the request from Mr. Burris,
it is suggested that a fee waiver provision be added to the
ordinance for situations similar to this one where three or
four animals are housed but are judged not to create any
nuisance to adjoining properties. An ordinance which would
allow for that alternative is attached for council consideration.

Dear Sir:
Please put me on the agenda of the Richfield City Council
on July 26, 1982. The issue I wish to ask the Council to
take action on is a waiver~of the Residential Kennel License
fee.
For many years, I have paid a small fee for a Residential
Kennel License, although I thought this was an improper
charge. How that the fee has been increased to $40, however,
it has become a substantial matter financially as well as a
matter of principle.
I contend that Iab not have a "Residential Kennel". T have
four cats, Period. My ownership of four eats has no relation-
ship in any way to the operation of a kennel. There is no
commercial aspect to this ownership. The Richfield form
states that a Residential Kennel is "A place...where the keeping
of such dogs or cats is incidental to the occupancy of the
premises for residential purposes". Our pets are not some
kind of a commercial side-line. They are not incidental to
anything; they are integral to our family's life. The Richfield
form, however, forces me to say that I"operate such business in
accordance with the laws of Minnesota and the ordinances of the
City of Richfield.", even for a "Residential Kennel .License."
I will no longer sign this form without a test of its legality.
Socially, this whole matter is ludicrous. Our pets are in no
need whatsoever of City supervision. The City of Richfield will
receive no complaints about our cats. Attached is a letter of
support given to us voluntarily by our neighbors, Marjorie and
Albert Fournier. When there is no need for a City service, I
hardly feel that I should be asked to pay far it. Let the City's
services be gse~Yved for those situations where they are requested.
I sincerely hope that the City Council will support my petition
for waiver of this Residential Kennel Licenee Fee. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Agenda August 23, 1982
The Honorable !~ayor
and
A~embers of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Fee Waiver Request - Minnesota Valley
Women's Club
On April 26, 1982 the city council adopted Resolution No. 6599,
the City Facilities Use Policy, that became effective July 1, 1982.
The policy relates to use and rental of the Community Center,
Council Chambers, Golf Course Clubhouse and Nature Center Build-
ing by all organizations. In a letter to the city council dated
July 15, 1932, the ~~~innesota valley Women's Club has requested
waiver of the fee for use of the Community Center.
• On July 2, 1932, the Club submitted an application to use
the center for the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for monthly
luncheon meetings on September 14, October 12, November 9 and
December 14, 1982, and January 11, February 8, March 8 and
April 12, 1983. Expected attendance at each meeting is 90-125.
The lower level can be divided into two rooms, but with this
size group, both rooms are used, as are full kitchen facilities,
the dishes, silverware, dishwasher, tables and chairs. Accord-
ing to the council-approved policy, the rental rate for non-
profit organizations is $4.00/hour/room plus one additional
hour of clean-up for groups over 75 which is $10, plus food
service for a lunch, dinner, potluck, etc. prepared at or outside
the Community Center (using full kitchen facilities) for $10.
Therefore, the per meeting charges to the Minnesota Valley Women's
Club based on their request for the fall of 1982 and spring of 1933
would be as follows:
Room Rental (lover level
5 hours x 2 rooms x $4.00 $40.00
Group over 75 10.00
Food Service l0.OC
TOTAL CHARGE PER LU`CHEON `-MEETING $60.00
Council Letter `do. 257 -2- August 23, 1982
It should be noted that a member of the Club normally
arrives at 8:00 a.m. The policy would indicate the "hours of
• use designated on the application must be adhered to" and
therefore the application should include a listing of hours
as to when the facility is to be first opened. We typically
have not charged for this additional one and one-half hours.
The policy also notes that the facility will be closed at
the time last indicated on the application. On occasion, the
group will remain until shortly past the 2:30 p.m. time noted
on the application, although we have typically not charged
for this additional time either. At no charge to the organiza-
tion, the Center provides free storage space to the Club on
the lower level of the Center, as well as some cupboards in the
kitchen. Once a year, the Club requests a portable stage stored
at the city garage be brought to the Center for use by the Club.
The Center assumes the charges for the delivery and return of
the portable stage and the Club is not charged for this service.
The city attempts to make every possible accomodation to
organizations such as the Minnesota Valley Women's Club. The
adopted policy reflects charges of minimum costs incurred by
the city to provide these accomodations and services, and even
at this rate does not entirely recover the costs of operation.
Based on anticipated attendance at the monthly meetings, our
cost per person for the five hours is approximately S0~ to 65~
per member.
• At the August 10, 1982 regular meeting of the Community
Services Advisory Commission, the commission reviewed the fee
waiver request. It was the unanimous recommendation of the
commission that no exception be made to the fee structure for
the facility use and rental policy. It is also the recommendation
of staff, in which I concur, that a fee waiver not be granted.

Minnesota Valley Woman's Club is a philanthropic group begun here in
Richfield in 1954 as a chapter of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
g10 has been a rental we could afford. By raising the fee to $30, it will
mean that some of our activities, such as scholarships to Richfield High
• School students, will have to be cut. We have donated thousands of dollars
to students through scholarships in the years of our existence.
In the beginning the building now used as a Community Center began as a
Hennepin County Library Branch. It was partially paid for by many of our
members who went door-to-door collecting money for the above mentioned
library. We donated the draperies in the downstairs room and have taken
care of your facilities as though they were our own.
We are assuming that if the rental raise is hitting us that it is also
affecting other even smaller and less affluent groups than oars, such as the
Scouts and the Campfire Girls.
We cannot see the business sense in maintaining an empty or Partially empty
building. It appears to us that if fee waivers are not granted to old
tenants, such as Minnesota Valley Women's Club, this is what is going to
happen.
We hope you will give ti~is your careful consideration before you vote on this
Question.
Very truly yours,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, ^1I :`?NESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter r1o. 256
Agenda August 23 , 19f32
The :~ionorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richf field
Council Members:
Subject: Amendment to Ordinance Regulating Public
Nuisances. Second Reading.
At the August 9, 1982 city council meeting the council gave
first reading approval to an ordinance amendment that would
repeal a portion of the existing city code regarding public
nuisances. The portion of the ordinance proposed for repeal
is paragraph 1, Subd. 4 of Section 10.01, and reads as follows:
"All snow and ice not removed from public sidewalks 12 hours
after the snow contributing to the condition has ceased
• to fall," (is considered to be a nuisance affecting safety.)
It is the opinion of the city attorney and city's insurance
carrier that the current ordinance could place an unreasonable
burden upon the city. For example, it calls for correction of
the specified nuisance within 12 hours. In many cases, it may
be difficult or perhaps impossible for the city to comply with
its own ordinance which creates a major liability for us if
someone falls or is otherwise injured o~_sidewalks that are
allegedly improperly maintained.
Under common law, the city has the responsibility to take
reasonable care in eliminating such nuisances, similar to our
obligation relating to the care and maintenance of sewers. Thus,
the ordinance provision is not necessary, since we have the
jurisdictional responsibility to maintain public sidewalks in
passable conditions anyway. it will continue to be our policy
to clear sidewalks as quickly as possible after a snowfall
subsequent to street plowing.
It is recommended that the city council approve this ordinance
repealing Section 10.01, Paragraph 1, Subd. 4, at the public
hearing scheduled for August 23, 1Q82.
