Council Members:
Subject: Approval of Plans and Specifications and
Authorization to Submit Application for
CP 744 - 67th Street and Lyndale Avenue
Traffic Signal
Installation of new traffic signals at the intersection of
67th Street and Lyndale Avenue is included as part of the revised
capital budget for 1982. tVhen the final plans were being prepared
for the L/H/N Lyndale Avenue improvement project between 64th
Street and Lake Shore Drive, the signals were omitted because it
was unclear what Richfield State Agency, primary contributor to
the traffic entering at 67th Street, was going to do with their
drive-up facility. A planned unit development has subsequently
been approved for the Richfield State Agency which calls for the
bank's drive-up facilities to exit onto 67th Street and on to
Lyndale Avenue. A traffic signal is warranted at this time at
the intersection, and the approved RSA development plan indicates
that the traffic will continue at about the same level or be greater.
The consulting engineering firm of Orr-Schelen-I~Iayeron, has
prepared plans and specifications for this traffic signal. The
signal will be financed by Municipal State Aid Funds (1ISA). The
signal will be installed this year, but it will be necessary to
borrow against next year's i`ISA allotment.
The staff recommends that the city council adopt the attached
resolutions, ordering the installation of the traffic signals, re-
questing i`1SA funding, approving the plans and specifications,
and ordering the advertisement of bids.

Subject: Discussion of Neighborhood maintenance
Problems at 6844 and 6900 Cedar Avenue
Neighbors adjacent to the rental properties at 6844 and
6900 Cedar Avenue have requested that action be taken to
correct maintenance problems at these two properties. A copy
of this request which was submitted to the city manager and the
city council is attached to this council letter.
The Public Safety Department has been investigating these
complaints, and Thomas Morgan, Director of Public Safety, will

RICHFIELD CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: DETERIORATING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS
SIR:
In past years, the City has done a good job in improving commercial
and Park/Recreational areas of the City.
We would like your help in solving potentially serious residential
problems in our neighborhood.
Although the problems we will be listing may apply to many
neighborhoods throughout our city, we are referring to two rental
homes in our neighborhood located at 6844 & 6900 Cedar Ave. So.
as noted below.
* Loud, late night parties with upwards of 150 people
~ Junked, unlicensed automobile in the backyard
* Significant increase in auto traffic
* Unkept lawns, accumulated debris, junk, garb age
* Littered streets & neighboring property
~ Parking violations
* Urinating & vomiting on private property
* Drunken, disorderly conduct
* Our children can't sleep when loud parties are in progress
and for days thereafter contend with broken glass and empty
beer cans-on sidewalks and streets.
In short, this is a public nuisance by any definition. Not the
quality of life we've come to expect in Richfield.
These conditions have persisted for the past several yaars i;~
spite of changing tenants. In the past, calls to city officials
have resulted in prompt although temporary solutions to some of
these problems. What we need ,are some long term solutions to the
problems.
Additional details of the types of problems we are experiencing
are noted in Attachment'A'. Attachment 'B' is a copy of a letter
recently sent to the owner of the property at 6844 Cedar Ave. So.

regard, and also what we can do to help.

owners to discuss these problems, and possible solutions in more
detail at your convenience.
Please respond to Charles D. Herzog

Dear Nir. Berndt
We understand that your tenant, Peter Smith, at 6844 Cedar, is
moving or has moved.
We hope that you will use better judgement in your next renters.
For the past three years our neighborhood has been nothing but
traffic, loud noises, parties,•people urinating on our lawns,
garbage problems, and debris piled up behind and on the side of
the garage. We would like you to correct this problem or we will
be obliged to take other action.
If you are out this way at some time we would be willing `to
talk this problem over with you.

Subject: Award of Contract, Four-Wheel Type TZechanical
Front End Loader
On July 19, 192 bids were opened for a four-wheel type mech-
anical front end loader. The city clerk, a representative of the
city manager, the community services director, the technical oper-
ations coordinator and representatives of the bidding firms were
in attendance. A copy of the bid minutes and tabulations is attach-
ed for council review.
• This truck is used primarily for sidewalk snowplowing and to
assist in loading trucks with salt, sand and/or gravel in the win-
ter. Dur~.ng the summer, it is used for landscaping type purposes
in the L/H/N area, the Nature Center and various city parks. i~ionies
for this purchase are available in the Central Garage Revolving Fund.
ifinneapolis Equipment Company submitted one bid for a new,
gas powered unit. The base unit amount was $24,210, but the unit
would need to be painted and a cab would need to be ordered separate-
ly. With an estimated $3,400 for the cab, the total price for this
unit would be $27,960, plus an estimated $350 for painting. rlinnea-
polis Equipment Company also submitted a bid for a used, diesel
powered unit for $26,560. This unit has 145 hours of use, has a
60-day guarantee, includes the cab, but would need to be painted.
Including the painting cost, the total cost of this unit would be
$26,910. Olson Equipment Company submitted a bid for a used gas
powered unit. The $22,000 bid for the unit with 40 hours of use in-
cludes painting and a one-year guarantee. A cab would need to be
purchased at a cost of $3,430. The total cost of this unit would be
$25,430.
It is recommended that the city council take the following
actions:
• 1. Approve the bid minutes and tabulations;
Council Letter Tdo. 242 -2- July 26, 1982
• 2. Award a contract to Olson Equipment Company in the
amount of $22,000 for a used, gas powered Waldon 5000
four wheel type mechanical front end loader;
3. Authorize purchase of a cab for the Waldon 5000 unit
from Olson Equipment Company in the amount of $3,400.

INT'EROr FILE MEI~SORANDLT~1
Date: 22 July 19b2
TO: Karl
FROM: Joyce
~1,he front end loader purchase which is before the council
for approval P•Ionday night is a change from the adopted
1982 budget. Just in case anyone asks, I thought I should
update you a bit on this... we did discuss it with Don
during review of his revised budget...
The Nature Center adopted 1902 budget had a $16,000 approp-
riation for purchase of a tractor. During the budget amend-
rr~ent process in February, we reduced that appropriation and
agreed to buy the i3ature Center vehicle from the Central
Garage Fund. This front-end loader is a substitute for
that Mature Center tractor. Although it casts more, it is
also more versatile, and the 19E2 revised budget will show
the increased cost. There is adequate money in the Garage
Fund for the purchase. We'll be using this equipment to
replace an ancient sidewalk plow that has been depreciated
for about 5 years, so we really will be reducing our plannea
vehicle inventory by one, since the loader will substitute for
the tractor which was to have been bought as well as the
existing sidewalk plow.
(I think I right have been better off not even trying to
explain!?)

The Honorable Mayor

City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Purchase in Excess $2,500
The city charter requires the city council approve the pur-
chase of merchandise, materials, equipment or construction when
the amount exceeds $2,500. There is one such item on the city
council agenda for July 26, 1982.
Traffic narking Tape
Each year, the city stripes approximately 21 crosswalks with-
in the city. The present method of corsswalk marking uses a paint
• application which has a very short period of visibility, about
five months or less. The cost per intersection to stripe is
about $137, including paint, labor and equipment rental. With
ope application per year under the present method, the four year
cost of the program would be approximately $548 per intersection.
There is a traffic marking tape available on the market. It
is recoilunended that this reflective tape be purchased and install-
ed to cover 8 crosswalks at random locations within the city as a
test program. The material cost for this type of application would
be approximately $493 per intersection, and labor would be an estim-
ated $100 per intersection, for a total intersection cost of $593.
While the cost using the reflective traffic tape method is $45 more
per intersection than the painting method, the advantage is that
the traffic tape application has an estimated life of four years,
would not need to be reapplied every year, and the visibility
would be greater than 5 months a year.
The only local vendor of the 3-ti Traffic Marking Tape is Safety
and Security Systems which quoted $82.20 per roll. The staff did
attempt to locate other vendors, but they did not submit a quota-
tion. Therefore, it is recomritended that the city council authorize
the purchase of 48 rolls of 3-~1 Traffic r~Iarking Tape for a total
purchase price of $3,945.60 from Safety and Security Systems.

Agenda July 26, 1952
The Honorable I-Iayor
and
Members of the City Council
Council Members:
Subject: Transitory Ordinance Vacating Alley in Block
6, Lyndale Oaks Addition. Second Reading.
Approval of Off-Street Parking Permit and
Landscape Plan
On July 12, 19c2, the council received a petition froralvlr.
mark Ahlquist requesting vacation of the alley in Block 6, Lyn-
dale Oaks Addition. At that time, the council passed a resolution
accepting the petition and setting a public hearing on the matter
for July 26, 1932. The council gave first reading approval to a
transitory ordinance vacating the alley.
• Mr. Ahlquist is also requesting that the city approve an off-
street parking permit to allow hire to construct improvements to
the existing parking areas on the site. In conjunction with Mr.
Ahlquist's improvements, the city staff is requesting council
approval of a landscape plan for buffering between I~ir. Ahlquist's
property and the adjacent residential area, in accordance with the
L/HjN redevelopment plan.
The staff has reviewed this request for alley vacation, off-
street parking permit and landscape plan and founts the following:
1. That there are overhead utility lines within the ex-
isting alley right-of-way;
2. Subsequent to the July 12 council meeting, the staff
has met with dir. Orwell Opdal, owner of the remaining
comrlercial property abutting the alley . i`ir . Opdal in-
dicated his support for vacation of the total alley as
long as truck access to the rear of his buildings is not
hindered. :~~r. Opdal has signed a petition requesting
vacation of the portion of the alley adjacent to his
property. A copy is attached to this council letter.
3. One property owner (515 ~~. 64th Street), has requested
that access be maintained to his property from the alley
because he parks his truck and stores material in his
• back yard. Access to his garage is from Harriet Avenue.
4. Access to the garage of one residential property abutting
the alley at 6420 Harriet Avenue is from the alley.
Access to this garage would be maintained.
Council Letter No. 240 -2- July 26, 19&2
• 5. The proposed improvements on the existing parking lot
meet city standards, except for the width of the driving
aisle at the northeast corner of the building, which is
19.5 feet wide instead of the required 22 feet wide;
6. The vacation of the alley would reduce city maintenance
costs;
7. In conjunction with the improvements
of the Ahlquist property, the staff i
stall some landscape buffering on the
property. Attached is a copy of the
ment plan, which indicated a major la

~P 705 budget was
identified to be
used in this landscape butter area. '1'he $2,500 was not
based upon any definite construction plan, but rather en-
visioned Borne trees and shrubs to fill in existing gaps
in permanent residential landscaping.
Mr. Ahlquist has presented a plan which proposed a fence
at the north property line along what is now the alley,
between the cormlercial and residential property. In
addition, landscaping would be added along the Harriet
Avenue/64 1/2 Street frontage. A barrier curb will be
constructed along the fence and landscaping in order to
provide protection.
The difference between the $2,500 budgeted a!~ount anc~
the $9,500 estimated cost would be obtained from the L/I:/N
irrigation account, CP 7054. It was estimated that the
irrigation would cost $150,000, whereas the total cost of
the project, including all indirect costs, will be less
than $140,000. Of the remaining balance, $7,000 could be
transferred to the portion of project for funding these
landscaping improvements ;
•
E. The alley vacation and fence construction will make it nec-
essary to construct an additional curb cut off of Harriet
Avenue to maintain separate access to the conunercial and
residential property now having access to the alley. The
cost of this curb cut is included in the $9,500 estimated
project cost.
It is recommended that the city council conduct the public
hearing on this matter anti give second reading approval to the
transitory ordinance vacating the alley in Block G Lyndale Oaks

Addition. It is also recom;nended that the city council approve
the off-street parking permit by passing the attached resolution.
It is further recoirunended that the city council approve the land-
scape plan for the buffer/screening and the curb cut construction.

Agenda July 26, 1982
The Honorable Mayor

r~lembers of the City Council

Council Members:
Subject: Request for Fee Waived License
There is an item on the July 26, 1982 city council agenda,
requesting waiver of a residential kennel license fee. The
request for waiver of this fee, submitted by Mr. Richard
Burris, is attached.
On April 12, 1982, the city council adopted quidelines
for waiver of license fees. These guidelines provide that
license fees may be waived under the following circumstances:
1. The establishment where the machine is located must
be the party applying for the license.
2. Only groups that are religious, civic, benevolent,
educational, verterans, or nonprofit will be considered
for fee waived licenses.
3. Only license fees for which no inspectional services
are required will be considered for fee waiver.
4. For licenses requiring background investigation,
the cost of investigation may be substituted for the
license fee if all other criteria are met.
There is no provision in the city ordinance which provides
that any sort of ;cennel license fee may be waived. A "residential
kennel" is defined in city ordinance, and requires an inspection
before the license may be issued. The residential kennel
designation has been established because of the potential
nuisance of a situation where several animals are present in
a residential neighborhood.
•
Council Letter No. 238 -2- July 26, 1982
• There is similarly no characteristic of a residential
kennel which fits the guidelines established by the city council
for granting a fee waiver request. As noted, inspectional
services are required for a residential kennel license, and
the designation is purely for an individual, rather than a
religious, nonprofit, etc. group.
It is the opinion of the staff that there is no basis
for waiver of a residential kennel license fee. If the
city council wishes to pursue such, it will be necessary to
change both the city ordinance requirement and the provision
of the resolution establishing guidelines for waiver of a
license fee.

Richfield, Mn. 5523
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. Now 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". I have
four cats. Period. My ownership of four cats 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 for it. Let the City's
services be ~se~~ved for those situations where they are requested.
• I sincerely hope that the City Council will support my petition
for waiver of this Residential Kennel Licence Fee. Thank you.
Sincerely,
,~

We have lived next door to the Richard Burtis family, 7325 Fremont

They keep their cats confined to the house. The only time we are

annually to have us sign for his permit.
We wish to protest the injustice of the fee required for them to
keep these unobtrusive little animals within the confines of their
home, and respectifully request that you review this case and
substantially reduce the fee paid by these good and cooperative
neighboors.

The Honorable Mayor

City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Traffic Signals at 76th Street and
Lyndale Avenue
A committee made up of business persons from the 76th Street
and Lyndale Avenue area and city staff have been meeting
periodically over the last six months in an effort to identify
means to resolve the traffic and parking problems near the
intersection of 76th Street .and Lyndale Avenue. The meetings
have culminated in the following recommendations:
1. On-street parking should be prohibited on Lyndale
Avenue between 74th and 76th Streets. (The council acted
affirmatively on this recommendation at their July 12,
1932 meeting.)
2. A new signal should be constructed at the intersection
of 76th and Lyndale. This new signal should be
provided with mast arms to assure that the signal
heads hang above the flow of traffic in a more highly
visible location.
3. All parking should be eliminated within the 50-foot
sight triangle at all four corners of the intersection,
to allow for better visibility.
As part of these deliberations, the committee has requested
the HRA authorize a long range study of the 76th and Lyndale
area from Nicollet Avenue to I-35Ta and from 74th Street to
I-494.. Such a study would investigate both traffic and re-
development in the area and would result in the preparation of
a plan for the revitalization of this commercial area. A
lone range study of the area would answer not only remaining
traffic-related questions but would also address future re-
development.
•
•
•
Council Letter No. 237 -2-
July 26, 1982
The staff and the committee felt that, although an
increased level of safety would be provided by installing
medians to provide a left turn bay on Lyndale Avenue, there
was a significant possibility that the traffic patterns in
this area may change when new development occurs in the area.
The decision was then made not to recommend construction of
the median until the future of the area has been determined.
It is the committee's recommendation instead that the council
authorize installation of the signals at the intersection and
implementation of parking restrictions within the 50-foot
visibility triangle.
The new signal would be financed with rlSA funds. It
will be necessary to borrow a portion of the estimated $90,000
project cost against a portion of next year's $300,000 r~SA
allotment. This project should not require a variance from
the normal state aid procedures for the installation of signals.
Although the design of the project will proceed immediately,
there is generally a significant delay in the delivery of the
electronic equipment needed for signal systems. If it
appears that this delay will prevent construction of the signals
during this construction season, the construction would occur
next spring.
The 76th Street and Lyndale Avenue businessmen's committee
and the staff recommend that the council adopt the attached
resolution which:
1. Orders the installation of new traffic signals at the
intersection of 76th Street and Lyndale Avenue, and
2. Authorizes the

Council t^embers
Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to "Snowbirds"
For several years, the city has actively encouraged
citizens to cooperate in facilitating our snow removal efforts
by moving vehicles off of public roadways until the snow is
cleared. Articles encouraging this cooperation have been
placed in brochures distributed to each residence, and flyers
have been placed on windshields of vehicles still on the street
during removal operations. However, we have continued to
experience problems in snow removal due to cars parking on the
streets.
• During budget modification discussions earlier this year,
the city council directed the staff to develop an ordinance
amendment to deal with the "snowbird" problem. The cooperation
method has not worked very well and the cost of returning for
spot removal was expensive not only in additional equipment
charges, but it meant staff was not free to work on other
projects. The proposed ordinance would allow for stricter
enforcement that could add to the revenue of the city, or,
at least help lessen the cost of clean-up snow removal which
is necessitated by snowbirds. The Community Services Advisory
Commission has recommended that the city council approve the
snowbird ordinance.
It is recommended that the city council give first reading
approval to the attached ordinance amendment, and schedule the
public hearing and second reading consideration for August 9,
1982. This ordinance amendment would prohibit parking on
public streets after a three-inch or more snowfall, until
after the streets are cleared. If the ordinance is approved
at that time, it would become effective prior to the 1982/1983
winter season, and allow for sufficient time to inform the
public of the new regulations. ti+le would include notice of
the new regulations in the Fall brochure, anticipated for
distribution in September, and in the tiainter brochure,
anticipated for distribution in early December. Ltiie would also
•
Council Letter No. 236 -2- July 26, 1932
anticipate notifying the public through inserts in the utility
bills and by including announcements on cable television and
in the newspapers. During the snow season, we would hope to
have a telephone number that could be called to provide
information on snow removal operations, including the time
anticipated for start.

Council Letter No. 232
Agenda July 26, 192
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to the Sale of
Drug Paraphernalia. Second Reading.
At the June 23, 192 city council meeting, the city
council gave first reading approval to an ordinance amendment
prohibiting the sale of drug paraphernalia in the City of
Richfield.
State legislation prohibiting this sale will become
effective August 1, 192. However, the cities of Minneapolis
and Bloomington have both enacted ordinances prohibiting the
sales of drug paraphernalia which are more restrictive or
specific in language than the statute which will become effective
August 1. Although there are presently no establishments within
the City of Richfield which are engaged in the sale of drug
paraphernalia, the public safety director is concerned that the
local ordinances passed in Minneapolis and Bloomington may
encourage dealers to establish their business in our community.
Therefore, this ordinance amendment, which is similar to those
of Minneapolis and Bloomington, has been developed.
The public hearing for this ordinance amendment, a copy
of which is attached to this council letter, has been scheduled
for the July 26, 19f~2 city council meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
',,~'

Council Members:
Subject: Ordinance Amendment Amending Section 2.07
of the City Charter Relating to Council
Salaries. Second Reading.
At the June 14, 19~i2 city council meeting, first reading
approval was given to an ordinance amending Section 2.07 of the
city charter relating to salary increases for council members.
The amendment would delete the phrase "and such ordinances
nay be amended only by a four-fifths vote of the council" and
add the phrase "No change in salary shall take effect until
after the next succeeding municipal election."
The current state law allows a change in salary to take
place upon a majority vote of the city council effective after
the councilmember stands for election. An alternate procedure
is the Home Rule Charter which allows a salary change to take
place 30 days after publication of the ordinance when a four-
fifths vote of the council takes place. The charter amendment
would bring the Home Rule Charter into the same language as
the state law and prevent any salary increases prior to standing
for election.
A public hearing on this amendment, a copy of which is
attached, has been scheduled for the July 26, 1942 city
council meeting. Approval of the ordinance requires a
unanimous vote of the city council.

Re: Change of Council Salaries

TELEPHONE

6Ve have been requested to respond to several questions which
have been asked about the procedural requirements which are
applicable to changes in council salaries.
Section 2.07 of the city charter provides as follows:
"Salaries. The mayor and the members of the
council shall receive payment as set by ordinance
and such ordinance may be amended only by a four-
fifths vote of the council. The city manager. and
all subordinate officers and employees of the
city shall receive such salaries or wages as may
be fixed by the council."
In the absence of any statutory provisions, it would be possible
to change the salaries of the mayor and the other members of the
council only by an ordinance adopted by four-fifths vote of the
council. The charter provision does not contain any limitation
on when the change becomes effective. It appears that the only
limitation is that the change could not be effective before the
ordinance (or an amendment of the ordinance) itself became
effective. From time to time the city council has amended the
salary ordinance and made the amendment effective upon publica-
tion.
After the adoption of the Richfield city charter, the legisla-
ture passed the following legislation relating to council
salaries:
"415.11 CITIES OF SECOND, THIRD AND FOUP,TH CLASS,
SALARIES OF GOVERNIPIG BODY. Subdivision 1. Not-
withstanding the provisions of any general or special
law, charter, or ordinance, the governing body of any
statutory or home rule charter city of the second,
LAW OFFICES

third or fourth class may by ordinance fix
their own salaries as members of such governing
body, and the salary of the chief elected
executive officer of such city, in such amount
as they deem reasonable.
Subd. 2. No change in salary shall take
effect until after the next succeeding municipal
election."
It is our opinion that the provisions of §415.11 provide an
independent alternative method of fixing council salaries. If
the council proceeds under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes
X415.11, it is our opinion that the salary change could not
take effect until after the next succeeding municipal election.
If the council undertakes to proceed under X415.11, rather than
under charter section 2.07, it is our opinion that the require-
ment of a four-fifths vote does not apply, and the salary amend-
ment ordinance (which would be delayed in its effect until after
the next municipal election) would require three favorable votes
to pass.
Very truly yours,
