03-23-81 agendar CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 105 Agenda March 23, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: The Reconstruction of the 66th Street and Penn Avenue Intersection The City of Richfield has for a long time recognized the problems at the intersection of 66th Street and Penn Avenue. Hennepin County has been doing some preliminary layouts and designs for the reconstruction of this intersection. These preliminary reports indicate that the reconstruction of the intersection would be high on their priority list. It also appears that the project would meet the standards for a federal aid urban (FAU) project. To begin this FAU process the county has requested the City of Richfield to endorse its application for FAU funding. The staff recommends that the council adopt the attached resolution encouraging Hennepin County to apply for FAU funding for the reconstruction of 66th Street and Penn Avenue.

Priebe, Mayor City of Richfield 6700 Portland Avenue South Richfield, MN 55423 ' RE: Committee Response to Proposed Use of Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Funds by Richfield for Year VII (1981) Dear Mayor Priebe: A responsibility of the Planning Area One Citizen Advisory Committee as outlined in the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program "Citizen Participation Plan" is to respond to Planning Area One community participants following public hearings and evaluation of proposed activities in the light of planning objectives and strategies for achieving them. The Committee has re- viewed the proposals with regard to their conformance with the Federal Regula- tions and the Urban Hennepin County Comprehensive Strategy as well as local policies and objectives, all of which must be substantially complied with to ensure funding of the program. With respect to Richfield's proposal to use $338,000 of Year VII Community Development Block Grant Funds, the Committee approved the following projects: Housing Rehabilitation, $121,000; Scattered Site Acquisition and Clearance, $50,000. The Committee can give only conditional approval to the Lyndale /Hub /Nicollet project of $175,000. Since, in and of themselves, the restructuring of streets does not eliminate slums and blight, the approval is conditional based on the full implementation of the total LHN project. The Committee questions the Year VII Community Center Improvements Project ($22,000) not encompassed in the Year I project for the provision of a Senior Citizen Center. We need an explanation of how the replacement of appliances, cupboards and counters will make the center sufficiently more accessible to make this an eligible project. The Committee is looking forward to the additional information that Richfield agreed to provide to us, including more data on its goals and objectives with regard to housing, its comprehensive strategies for meeting them, data on housing u The Honorable Donald J. Priebe, Mayor March 16, 1981 Page Two needs, number of low and moderate income families, as required by regulation §570.304 and all of the subelements thereof. Without such information and data, it is difficult to evaluate Richfield's commitment to providing safe, sanitary and decent housing to low and moderate income persons. The Committee understands the need for administration but does not feel capable of evaluating such funding amounts. However, the Committee does feel that ad- ministrative costs should be itemized to substantiate the amounts and requests that an itemized budget be forwarded to the County for their review. The Committee notes that as of December 15, 1980, Richfield had spent 100% of Years I -IV funds and 73% of Year V funds. It commends the City for moving promptly in using the CDBG funds made available. We wish to thank Mr. Rick Jopke for his presentation and answering the questions raised by the Committee members. Sincerely, J. B. Hatcher, Chairman Me cc: Planning Area 1 Citizen Advisory Committee Members Rick Jopke @@gnaw Council Letter No. 104 -2- March 23, 1981 life insurance provided by the city for employees covered by this contract will be increased in 1982 from $5,000 to $25,000. The increases in the city's contribution for insurance is generally comparable to the increases pre- viously approved for the general services, management and police officer employees, although part of the city's increased contribution for those other employees has been designated for dental insurance premiums. Employees covered by the Police Supervisors Association contract will not receive the dental insurance benefit. It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached res- olutions, approving this labor agreement, and authorizing a transfer of funds from the contingency account to the Public Safety Department, to implement terms of the agreement.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 103 Agenda March 23, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Approval of Health Services Contract With City of Bloomington There is an item on the March 23, 1981 city council agenda pro- viding for council approval of the health services contract with the City of Bloomington, for the period January 1 through December 31,1981 The City of Richfield has contracted with the City of Blooming- ton to provide personal health services to Richfield residents since 1977. This program is made possible in large part by the Community Health Services Act, which provides a subsidy to Richfield for the purpose of supporting and expanding health program services. Rich- field uses the Community Health Services Program to support a large portion of the personal health services provided through the contract with Bloomington, while also supporting a part of our internal en- vironmental health inspection and enforcement programs. In 1981, it is anticipated that we will receive $85,716 through the Community Health Services subsidy. The 1981 Community Personal Health Services contract with Bloom- ington provides that Richfield will pay Bloomington $94,528 to provide a wide variety of personal health programs to Richfield residents. This is an increase of 8% over the 1980 contract amount of $87,526. The city has a separate contract with the Richfield School District to provide nursing services to the nonpublic elementary and secondary schools in the city. State law requires that these services be made available to the nonpublic schools to the same extent services are available in the public schools. A state subsidy is available to support the provision of school nursing services, and the Richfield School District has applied for those subsidy monies to provide such services to the city's nonpublic schools. Our agreement with the school district provides that the city will deliver the community health services-to the nonpublic elementary and secondary schools as part of our contractual agreement with the City of Bloomington. In turn, the school district coordinates the service and reimburses the city from their state subsidy money. The city retains 5% of the school district subsidy funds for reimbursement of our administrative costs. Since the city is, in effect, an intermediary for the ser- vices between the City of Bloomington and the Richfield School District, the cost of those services is not reflected in the basic health ser- vices contract amount. Council Letter No. 103 -2- . March 23, 1981 It is recommended that the city council approve the 1981 con- tract with the City of Bloomington for provision of personal health services, and authorize the city manager and mayor to execute this contract.

The City of Richfield has partially funded Project CHarlie III (community) in 1979 - 1980. In order to maintain a liason with the City, we are requesting participation in our steering committee-by a Richfield representative. This person would act as a liason between Project CHarlie and the City Council and City staff. In 1980 -81 Project CHarlie members developed a slide presentation which accurately represents some of the activities and philosophies of the community Project CHarlie. We would like to share our slide presentation with the City Council and any City staff who would be interested at an upcoming City Council briefing. Please contact me if you have any questions and also let me know when you are able to schedule a time for the slide presentation. Project CHarlie has enjoyed working with Richfield and hopes to build a closer working relationship with both staff and City officials. Sincerely, Rosie Nielson Chairperson, Project CHarlie III RN /jmd J 7 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 100 Agenda March 23, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Ordinance Authorizing Permanent Transfer from PIR Fund, Second Reading. On February 23, 1981, the city council gave first reading ap- proval to an ordinance amendment which provides for additional flexi- bility in the use of monies in the city's Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund. The adopted 1981 Capital Improvement Budget provides funding for a major remodeling and expansion of the public safety portion of the city hall complex. Funding for that project is to be derived from several sources, including the city's Permanent Improvement Revolv- ing Fund. The attached ordinance amendment would initiate the pro- cess for transferring monies from that fund to a Capital Improvement Fund to be used in financing the public safety building project. Adoption of the ordinance amendment is the first step in the process to make this transfer of funds. The ordinance amendment enables the council to take subsequent action transferring PIR Funds for this purpose. The ordinance amendment also expands the general use of PIR Funds as a temporary loan source for other city capital expentitures. In the past, the PIR has been able to loan monies to the HRA, but not to the city. After the council has given first and second reading approval to the ordinance amendment, it will still be necessary for the council to adopt a resolution specifically authorizing the transfer of funds to the public safety project. It is recommended that the council give second reading approval to this ordinance amendment at the March 23, 1981 city council meeting. Respectfully submitted, k2 Z t� � ,��, Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN /jf cc: Public Safety Director Administrative Services Director Finance Coordinator A-in r AMENDMENT TO SECTION 12.18, SUBIDVISION 3 OF THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF RICHFIELD CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN: Section 12.18, Subdivision 3 of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield relating to the Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund is hereby amended to read as follows: "Disposition of Funds. The monies in said fund shall be used only as directed by resolution of the city, and for the purposes of (1) advancing to local improvement funds the cost of improvements for which assessments are to be levied and (2) providing interim financing of capital expenditures for projects of the city or the city's housing and rede- velopment authority. All such monies so furnished shall be restored when and as sufficient monies are received in said improvement funds, or permanent project financing has been obtained, as the case may be, with-interest at a rate of not less than five percent per annum during the time for which such monies have been so furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subdivision, the proceeds of said Lund, in a total amount not to exceed $300,000, may be trans- ferred to the capital improvement budget of the city, by resolution of the city council, to provide funds for the aquisi- tion and betterment of public safety facilities in the city." Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, this day of , 1981. ATTEST: Sylvia K. Bergh, City Clerk U Donald J. Priebe Mayor CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 104 Agenda March 23, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Ratification of Labor Contract with Richfield Police Supervisors There is an item on the March 23, 1981 city council agenda providing for council approval of a labor contract agreement which has been negotiated with the Richfield Police Supervisors Associa- tion, to cover the period from January 1, 1981 through December 31, 1982. The Richfield Police Supervisors Association is the officially recognized bargaining unit for police division personnel assigned to the ranks of Captain, Lieutenant and Sergeant. There are pre- sently eight positions within this unit of the police division. The major changes in the 1981 -82 contract with the Police Supervisors Association are as follows: 1. Effective 1 -1 -81, an 11.3% adjustment over 1980 wage rates for all classifications. In addition, the wage structure has been modified from a five -step to a four -step progres- sion. Under the previous five -step progression there were several overlapping steps between the different classifi- cations. Thus, in order to provide pay increases to em- ployees promoted from the next lower classifications, only the upper limits of the grade were utilized. The new four -step progression addresses this problem and provides greater use of the entire pay grade. The wage rates and structure negotiated recognizes wage rates paid to personnel positions performing similar jobs in comparable area communities. 2. A 10% adjustment in 1982 wage rates over 1981 wages, for all steps in each classification. 3. An increase in the city's portion of the premiums paid for life and health insurance, from the $83 paid per employee per month in 1980, to a maximum city contribu- tion of $103 per employee per month in 1981, and $115 per employee per month in 1982. In addition, the term CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City City of Richfield Council Members: Subj ect : Council Letter No. 98 Agenda March 23, 1981 Council Final Approval of Year VII Community Development Block Grant Application On December 9, 1980 the city council approved the preliminary application for Year VII Community Development Block Grant funds. The staff has subsequently submitted the preliminary application to Hennepin County and discussed the Year VII projects with the Hen- nepin County Planning Area Citizen's Advisory Committee. A copy of their comments is attached for your information. The projects in the final application are the same as those in the preliminary application. Project descriptions are attached for your information. The amounts allocated to each project are dif- ferent, however. The changes were necessary for three reasons. First of all, the total amount of funds available was reduced from $374,000 to $354,950. This reduction was due to a federally man- dated two.percent reduction in CDBG, which reduced the total Urban Hennepin County entitlement. The second reason for a change in project budgets was that Richfield was not in compliance with the requirement that no more than 25 percent of the total funds available in Years V -VII be used for projects which do not principally benefit low and moderate income persons. We had allocated 27 percent of our funds to the LHN public improvement project, which is intended pri- marily to remove slums and blight, rather than to principally benefit low and moderate income persons. The LHN project has been reduced by $21,795 to be in compliance with this requirement. A third change was made at the request of Hennepin County. In the preliminary ap- plication, funds for acquiring a house for a Vo Tech project were included in the housing rehabilitation project. Because this is an acquisition, the county asked that this be included in the acquisition project rather than in the housing rehabilitation project. The project budget amounts have been adjusted to reflect this change. The following is a comparison of the preliminary and final budgets: Project Preliminary Final Community Center 22,000 22,000 Housing Rehab. 121,000 82,000 LHN 175,000 153,200 Site Acquisition 36,000 77,750 Administration 20,000 20,000 TOTAL 374,000 354,950 Council Letter No. 98 -2- March 23, 1981 It is recommended that the council adopt the attached resolu- tion approving the final Year VII community development plan and budget, and authorizing the city manager to submit it to Hennepin County.

Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 23rd day of March, 1981. Donald J. Priebe, Mayor ATTEST: Sylvia K. Bergh, City Clerk CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 97 Agenda March 23, 1-981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Final Payment Through Engineering Services Agreement, L /H /N Public Improvements In an agreement dated February 10, 1976, the HRA retained the services of Bather, Ringrose & Wolsfeld, Inc. (BRW) to assist in the design of the Lyndale /Hub /Nicollet (LHN) project public improve- ments. BRW has recently been retained by Richfield State Agency as architect for the planned Richfield State Agency building. To avoid any perception of a conflict of interest, BRW has resigned from the contract with the HRA. The design work for the public improvements portion of L /H /N is essentially completed. The remaining construc- tion engineering will be done by Hennepin County, on 66th Street (CP 7053), and by OSM on Lyndale Avenue (CP 7052). The services agreement with BRW specified the work to be per- formed and the fee schedule to be followed. The agreement delin- eated certain maximum amounts to be spent in each phase of the proj- ect, based upon the work contemplated at the time the contract was signed. As the project progressed, the scope was expanded and was also significantly delayed. Several significant expansions in the scope of the project occurred without extra funds beinq allocated for the planning and engineering. The most significant expansion of the project occurred on 66th Street when the improvement project was expanded to include the area west from Lake Shore Drive to 35W. Not only did this expansion add to the number of meetings that the BRW engineers were requested to attend, but the city /county cooperative construction agreement had to be renegotiated. The successful renegotiation of this agreement netted the city a $300,000 to $400,000 savings in right -of -way costs. Another addition was the review of the Woodlake School site and Coach Homes development. When FAU funds became available for the Lyndale Avenue improvement project, the plans for this improvement had to be dramatically revised to meet the federal standards. Again, this revision of the Lyndale Avenue plans netted the city increased revenues for the project, but the engineering services agreement was not amended to allow for the revision of the plans and the negotia- tions surrounding the change. Finally, BRW was requested to make several additions and changes to the original plans surrounding the K -Mart and the civic plaza site. Council Letter No. 97 -2- March 23, 1981 In addition to these changes, several delays occurred which have stretched the project from a two -year endeavor to what is now a five - year project. A one -year delay occurred when negotiations bogged down on acquisition of the right -of -way purchase adjacent to the Hub. The Lyndale Avenue project was delayed a year when President Carter froze the funding for all FAU projects. The 66th Street project west of Lyndale was delayed with it was expanded to include the area from Lake Shore Drive to 35W. The net effect of these delays was to in- crease the cost of the planning and engineering. Over $50,000 in fees are attributable to the extra work that BRW was requested to do throughout these five years. About half of these charges were absorbed into the original agreement, up to the maximum charges allowed by the contract, making the amount billed that exceeded contract authorization equal to $26,196.66. The or- iginal agreement authorized expenditures up to $277,840.28. Timing and the need to meet deadlines left this services agree- ment unamended until now. BRW has supplied the city with the needed services. Therefore, the staff recommends that the council accept the resignation of BRW from this contract, and approve the final payment of $26,196.66 under the Engineering Services Agreement.

The plans call for an elevator addition to the east (Nicollet Avenue) side of the lobby on the north side of the Com- munity Center. In addition to this base bid item, there is alter- nate #1, which provides for a power door into the lobby from the sidewalk connecting to the parking lot; alternate #2, which calls for a vestibule to be constructed in the lobby; alternate #3, which calls for reglazing of the lobby windows; and alternate #4, which provides for steel railings on the ramp on the south side of the building leading from the parking lot to the lower level. The Community Services Director and the architect will be present at the March 23 meeting to answer any questions the council may have. It is recommended that the city council take the following actions: 1. Approve the final plans and specifications for the Community Center improvement project. 2. Authorize the city staff to advertise for bids on said improvements as required by law. Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN /jf cc: Community Services Director t:e.. �,:� -..

Bid minutes and tabulations are attached for city council review. The sweeper would be used primarily in the LHN area for maintenance of sidewalks and public.areas. In addition, the sweeper would serve in the parks for paths, parking lots and asphalted areas. Funding for the unit is included in the budget for 1981 in the amount of $10,752. While the actual cost is greater than anticipated, the manpower savings is significant which justifies the initial capital outlay and reallocation of other funds to this purchase. Two bids were received. The Advance industrial sweeper bid by Nott Company and the Tennant sweeper bid by Tennant Company have both been demonstrated to the city, and a tour of the Advance assembly plant has been made. The Advance machine does not meet specifications in total but the variances, such as tire size, are not great enough to reject the bid. It is therefore recommended that the city council award the contract to Nott Company, dealer of the Advance Sweeper, in the low bid of $12,702.00.

Bergh City Clerk �J �6 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 94 Agenda March 23, 1981 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Public Hearing Alley Maintenance Project In order to implement the alley policy passed by the city coun- cil on November 23, 1981, it is necessary for the council to initiate a specific alley maintenance project. The policy states that: "All costs involved in maintaining an alley will be assessed against the property abutting the alley." The - maintenance functions to be cov- ered by this assessment include such work as the cleaning of potholes, cold patching, some rough grading,-and sweeping. A public hearing on the alley maintenance project is scheduled for March 23, 1981. Street maintenance division personnel estimate the annual cost of this project to be $43,500, or approximately $440 per block'. This would result in an average assessment of about $20 per lot, assuming a 50 ft. lot. Assessments will vary according to the amount of work necessary on each individual alley. The costs for the repair of an alley will be charged to the property owner abutting the alley that was fixed. Alleys which are to be resurfaced this year will not be assessed for maintenance. This project will include all alleys not scheduled for permanent paving this year. The staff recommends that the city council adopt the attached resolution, ordering this alley maintenance project, at the close of the public hearing.

The policy stipulates that a petition signed by the property owners of more than 50 percent of abutting property must be submitted before an alley can be included in an alley paving project. Pursuant to this policy, on February 23, 1981, the council accepted the preliminary engineering report and ordered a public hearing to be held for improvement of the following alleys: Between 3rd and Clinton Avenue Lyndale and Aldrich Avenue First and Stevens Avenue Garfield and Harriet Avenue 2nd & 3rd Avenue Oliver and Newton Avenue 65th and 66th Street 65th and 66th Street Washburn and Xerxes Avenue From 73rd Street To 74th Street 75th Street 76th Street 71st Street 72nd Street 73rd Street 71st Street 305 ft. south 73rd Street 63rd Street 470 ft. south 22nd Avenue Standish Avenue 13th Avenue 66th Street 14th Avenue 67th Street The project would provide for construction of an 11' wide concrete or asphalt alley with concrete curb and gutter, involving a total of 5,130 lineal feet of alley surfacing. We propose to solicit bids for both the concrete and asphalt alternatives. The final determination between concrete and asphalt surfacing will be made after the bids are in. The estimated cost of the improvements will depend upon the method and materials selected. It is estimated that the total project cost will not exceed $253,300.00. Property abutting alleys will be assessed for alley construc- tion according to the assessment policy established in the city council Resolution No. 6345. The estimated assessment rate for residential abutting property is 17.80 /foot.

There are four such items on the council agenda of March 23, 1981. Brochure Paper A Newsletter /Brochure is distributed to Richfield residents four times a year. Quotations have been received for paper tc be used in the 1981 Summer publication. Butler Paper quoted a unit price of $20.55/M for the text paper and $40.50/M for the cover paper. Turnquist Paper Company quoted a unit price of $17.52/M for the text and $34.52/M for the cover. Wilcox Paper Company quoted $16.56/M for the text and $32.19/M for the cover. It is recommended that the city council authorize the purchase of 90,000 sheets of paper for the text pages and 18,000 sheets for the cover pages from Wilcox Paper, in the total amount of $2,069.82. Dow Billets In 1980, the city began work on replacement of the floating bridge at the Wood Lake Nature Center. About half the work was completed, with the remainder scheduled for 1981. There are only two vendors of the Dow Billets in this area. These are the flota- tion components for the overall bridge structure. Both were con- tacted and submitted price quotations. Brock -White Company quoted the lowest price of $63.85 /billet delivered. It is recommended that the city council authorize purchase from Brock -White Company of eighty (80) Dow Billets 10" X 24" X 9', delivered, at a unit price of $63.00, for a total purchase price of $5,040. Street Liqht Poles and Bases Each year a number of street lights are damaged, frequently by being knocked down by vehicles. The city typically has a num- ber of poles and bases on hand for replacement of damaged pieces. If the vehicle doing the damage can be identified, the driver's insurance will frequently cover the cost of parts and installation. Council Letter No. 92 -2- March 23, 1981 However, the city still must repair or replace the poles and bases. The city's inventory of these items is currently out of stock. There is only one vendor for the poles and bases used in the city's street lighting. Therefore, it is recommended that the city coun- cil authorize the purchase of 20 stainless steel bases, at a unit price of $110.00, and 15 street light poles, at a unit price of $481.00, from Millerbernd Manufacturing Company, at the total purchase price of $9,415.00. Lime In certain areas of the golf course we have experienced trouble establishing a healthy turf condition. Those areas are the first fairway of the Regulation 18 hole course, and the driving range. These areas were generally undisturbed during construction, and we are having difficulty cultivating the type of grass preferred for the golfing areas. Soil tests reveal that a PH imbalance exists, in that the soil is too acidic. This imbalance hinders an exchange of nutrients which are necessary to grow the turf we desire. To help rectify this condition, an application of lime should be made prior to the opening of the golf course. Quotations were received from three companies for 30 tons of lime. This lime would be applied to the golf course by city staff and equipment. Barzen of Minneapolis submitted a quotation of $103 /ton, Hennepin County Fertilizer Exchange quoted $90 /ton. It is recommended that the city council authorize the purchase of 30 ton of lime, delivered, from Howe Inc., the low- quoter, at a unit price of $60 /ton, for a total purchase price of $1,800.00.

The standard sidewalk in the City of Richfield is 5 foot wide and it is generally placed near the edge of the right -of -way as far from the curb as possible. Generally, the right -of -way restrictions require that the sidewalk be placed within a few feet of the curb, or, in some instances, sometimes adjacent to the curb. In the LHN the standard sidewalk is eight feet wide and much of the sidewalk is of bomonite rather than the standard concrete. The distance that the sidewalk is placed from the curb varies greatly depending upon the right -of- "= ' way restrictions. The sidewalk constructed in the first phase of construction was buffered from the street in a variety of ways. On 65th Street from Rae Drive to Pillsbury Avenue the eight foot sidewalk was placed adjacent to the curb on the north side of the street. From Pillsbury 4 Blaisdell Avenue, sufficient right -of -way was purchased to allow qtfour foot sodded area between the sidewalk and the curb. Between B� aisdell and Nicollet Avenue some bollards and wider sod strips were used as additional buffer. Along Nicollet Avenue the sidewalk meam- ders through and around landscape islands. At various places it o adjacent to the curb, depending on-the need for crosswalks and the desires of adjacent businesses. Along the south side of 66th Street east of Lyndale Avenue the eight foot sidewalk meanders from the property line to the curb line around various landscape islands. In some areas bollards are used as a buffer between the street and the sidewalk where the sidewalk is adjacent to the curb. The sidewalk alignment proposed for Lyndale Avenue will -have much the same character as that on Nicollet Avenue, that is, the sidewalks will meander around landscape islands and parking areas, and occasionally will be adjacent to the businesses along Lyndale Avenue. On the east side of Lyndale Avenue south of 66th Street, the sidewalk will be adjacent to the curb again because of right -of- way restrictions. The sidewalk on 66th Street west of Lyndale Avenue will have the character of the sidewalk that is in place on 65th Street except the sidewalk will be on both sides of the street. The distance from the back of the curb to the right -of -way on 66th Street varies from 8 to 20 feet, with most areas at about 12 feet. There are sections of 66th Street where the sidewalk could be moved away from the street and some sort of buffer be placed in that area between the sidewalk and the street. However, the design favors buffering the area be- tween the sidewalk and the residential areas of 66th Street rather than buffering between the sidewalk and the street. The City Engineer will be at the March 23 meeting to give a presentation on sidewalk alternatives. Several agreements have been made between Hennepin County and the City of Richfield regarding the L /H /N public improvements. The first agreement, dated June 3, 1976, was of a general nature and committed the county to participate in public improvements even before any final designs were done. That agreement covers , . '.1p ft 'OdM;l, qAft*i ..... W*M -N --*POO* 4h X*T*- Council Letter No. 91 -3- March 23, 1981 the design, acquisition of right -of -way, construction and division of costs for all of the L /H /N work. On May 27, 1980, that agree- . ment was revised because the 66th Street project had been extended westward from Lake Shore Drive to 35W. The principal effect of that amendment was to increase the county's participation in the right -of -way acquisition cost. Based upon this general cooperative construction agreement, a specific cooperative agreement has been developed for CP 7053, the 66th Street improvement project. This agreement includes the engineer's project cost estimate of $978,338.80; a payment schedule for when the city is to pay the county for its share; the distribution of project costs; and the duties of the parties involved in contract administration. It is recommended that the city council authorize the mayor and city manager to execute the construction cooperative agreement for CP 7053 with Hennepin County.

Lupu, operating in Richfield as Shakey's Pizza Parlor. The application has been referred to the Department of Public Safety for investigation, which has now been completed. The original license was granted in August, 1980, to the Northstar Pizza Corporation and its vice - president, David J. Whetstone, operating manager of Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Richfield. The background investigation conducted by the Richfield Public Safety Department has revealed that Mr. David Whetstone, manager of record, and vice president of the corporation when the original license was issued, is no longer with the corporation. Mr. Whetstone has left the corporation to enter into another business. The in- vestigation conducted by the Public Safety Department indicates that Richard M. Lupu, president of Northstar Pizza Corporation, and oper- ating manager of Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Richfield, is an indiv- idual of high moral character and a businessman who has the highest standards of quality and service in both employee and customer relations. There is no history record which would preclude issuance of the requested license. In approximately eight months since the original license was granted, there have been no major incidents at Shakey's Pizza Parlor involving or requiring the services of the Public Safety Department. The investigation in accordance with city ordinance code requirements finds the certificate of insurance and financial statements to be in order. Based upon the information provided by the applicant, and the information developed during the background investigation, it is the opinion of the Public Safety Director, in which I concur, that there are no existing conditions which would prohibit the renewal of the wine license requested.

State law requires that the city reevaluate one - fourth of real estate property within the city each year, and that values of the remaining properties of the city be adjusted accordingly. Each property owner in the city is notified by mail of any in- crease in valuation of his property, and must also be notified of the date, time and place for the Board of Review meeting. The Board of Review hears appeals from residents who wish to have their property evaluations established at some level other than established by the city assessor. Section 7.04 of the city charter details the responsibilities of the Board of Review: "The Board of Equalization shall consist of members of the city council and two residents of the city appointed for a one -year term by the city manager and approved by the council. The two resident members shall be experienced in real estate matters and shall receive such compensation as the council may determine. The Board of Equalization shall equalize assessments of property for taxation pur- poses according to law. As soon as any real estate has been reassessed, the affected property owner should be notified by the assessor of the amount of the change and the reason therefore." It is recommended that the city council set the date for the 1981 Board of Review meeting for '4 C18d`aY, May" 19-,' 1'981 at 7 ". 00 p.m. The council may consider appointments of citizen members to serve on the Board of Review at some future council meeting.
