There are three such items related to th.e city project for repair and replacement of the Wood Lake Nature Center boardwalk, and one item for the central garage on the city council June 23, 1980 agenda. Nature Center Boardwalk Improvements The Wood Lake Nature Center officially opened in 1971. One of the identifying features of the nature center is the boardwalk that spans the marsh area and is a multi-use trail used for var- ious guided programs or activities at the center. The boardwalk is a floating device that receives periodic routine maintenance. However, the sytrofoam and other materials included in the board- walk have been deteriorating, and reached a point where it is necessary to provide major renovation and replacement. There is CIP, in addition to a state trail grant of ~b,LUU. ~rne Labor t repair and replacement of the boardwalk will be provided by the city staff. Treated Timbers Quotations have been received from three firms for treated limbers to be used in the rebuilding and strengthening of the boardwalk railing. Steward Lumber quoted $.82 per foot, Wheeler Lumber quoted $1.30 per foot, and MacGil_1_._s and Gibbs quoted $.45 per foot. It is recommended that the city council authorize the purchase of 135 treated 2" x 6" x 12' boards and 135 treated 2" x 6" x 6' boards at a total purchase price of $1,093.50. From the same vendor, on the same purchase order, rough sawed pine planking would be ordered for other trail work at the nature center. This is not part of the boardwalk or that project. Rough Council Letter No. 231 -2- June 23, 1980 Much of the water in the nature center marsh is from street run-off and storm sewer flow. The effect of the water and the various chemicals in the water have caused problems in the past with rusting of the wire which is used on the underside of the boardwalk to hold inplace the Styrofoam used for floata- tion. If the wire is not maintained, the muskrats will chew through and burrow into the sytrofoam to create their homes. In researching this situation, it was determined that lobster trap wire would be the most cost-effective product. The vinyl coating prevents rusting, the wire is substantial enought to eliminate or at least limit the effect of the muskrats, and is light weight enough for floatation purposes.. There is only~one vendor of this wire that could be located.. Mid City Steel, in Westport, Maine submitted a quotation for the wire, the clips and the crimping tools needed to work with the wire. It is recommended that the city council approve purchase of 33 rolls of 12" 1 x 1 vinyl-coated wire, 11 rolls of 48" 1 x 1 vinyl-coated wire, 10 pounds of stainless steel J-clips and two crimping tools for a total purchase price of $3,858.84. Styrofoam The current boardwalk construction includes use of headboard polystyrene raylite as the floatation method. This material has been replaced frequently, as it breaks down relatively quickly by absorption of water.. However, the staff has determined that the Styrofoam method of floatation would still best meet the needs of the center. Following research, it was determined that Dow Chemical brand Styrofoam bouancy billets were more stable than the headboard, in that the product is not supposed to absorb water and is supposed to have a resistance to gas and oil. Assuming this to be true, the billets would have a longer life than the head- board under conditions of the nature center, although there is still some question as to the life expectancy of. the vinyl coated wire and the billets. If the claims for these products hold true, the entire boardwalk would ultimately be completed with the billets. In the meantime, the project proposal is to use the vinyl coated wire for the entire boardwalk and alterr_ate sections of headboard and the Dow Chemical billets. A quotation from White's provided a unit price of $60.66 for 140 pieces of 10"x24"x9' billets, for a total purchase price of $8,492.40 for the materials. In addition, the city would be responsible for .picking up the material in New Hope. The quotation from Brock-White Company provides the same material at a unit price of $57, including delivery. It is recommended that the city council authorize the purchase of Dow Chemical styrofoam brand bouancy billets from Brock-White Gn: Council Letter No. 231 -2- June 23, 1980 The adopted 1980 budget for the central garage operation provides for purchase of a tire changer, with a budgeted amount of $1,250 for the central garage mechanical operation. This is a replacement item which allows the city staff to remove tires from rims of vehicles to patch flats and make repairs. Three vendors submitted quotations. "~Hanco Corporation submitted a quotation of $1,218.75, Gene's Service quoted $1,1.70, and a quotation from Meyers Tire Company which included a two-year warranty and was in the amount of $1 ,089. It is recommended that the city council approve the purchase of a tire changer from Meyers Tire Supply in the amount of $1,089. Respectfully submitted, l Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN/eja cc: Community Services Director - /~ CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of C ity Manager Council Leter No. 23C Agenda June 23, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council C ity of Richf field Council Members: Subject: Cable Television Franchising Process On June 16, 1980, the Southwest Suburban Cable Commission re- ~ceived franchise applications for the franchise to provide cable television services in the five city southwest area (Richfield, Hopkins, Edina, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie). Three companies - Northern Cable Systems, Canadian Cable Systems and Tele-Prompter, submitted bids to be the franchisee for SWSCC. Copies of each company's bid have been transmitted to each city council member and copies of the bid are available for public review in city hall. We have enough copies that we can check out the bids to Richfield cit- izens in the event that they would like to read them in total. It is extremely important that the city council be aware of the procedure and process that will be undertaken to analyze the franchise applications. In addition, the city council needs to become familiar with the various evaluation categories and elements which will be considered by the SWSCC. The following categories are areas in which SWSCC would center their discussions prior to making recommendations to the various city ,councils: Evaluation Categories & Elements Services A Broadcast Signal Carriage (independent stations, spec- ialty stations, late night carriage) A Special Interest Programming (number of hours, types~of programming ) A Automated programming (national services, local program services, equipment and commitment to the program) A Pay Services (number, type, lockout device, choice re- lated to tiers) A Tiered Structures (creation of choice, appro~ Council Letter No. 230 -2- Services A FM, Audio & Shortwave Services (types) June 23, 1980 B Local Origination (equipment, staff, budget, programming plans, self-support) B Access Support (channels, equipment, maintenance, staff, budget, allowance for growth, operating policies, pro- motion, relationship to nonprofit corporation, universal .service, community channels) B Interactive Services (home alarm, device for reducing ' false alarms, opinion polling, data retrieval) B Service to Institutions (rates for installation and service, video origination points) Technical C System Concept (hub number, use and interconnection, distribution system, design) C System Engineering Channel capacity (initially activated channels, upstream/ downstream bandwidth, narrowcasting) System Performance (technical standards) Service Security (pay security, tiering security) Headend and Importation of Signals (plans for importing signals) System Interconnect (among 5 cities, Twin City area) C Institutional Service (design for accomodating video, ' audio, and data transmission among institutions) C Subscriber Equipment (addressability -- remote control of connections and pay services, data retrieval, inter- active services, real time interactive services) C Ancillary Services (FM service quality, emergency over- ride and channel, home alarm) C Construction Plans (initial coverage area, extension policy, timetable) C Reliability, Maintenance and Repair (response to service calls, system testing and maintenance, standby power) C Financial Goal (reasonableness, ability to meet goal) C System Financing (guarantees for financing, guarantee of parent company) -~ Council Letter No. 230 -3- June 23, 1980 D Rates In brief discussion, the SWSCC indicated that a weighting of the various elements to be considered would be as follows: All items listed as "A" would be approximately 40% of the weight- ing, all items listed "B "would be approximately 25% of the weight- ing, ail items listed as "C" would be approximately 30% of the weighting, and that item listed as "D" would be about 5%. At the June 23, 1980 city council meeting we will attempt to go through discussion of the evaluation categories and elements so that council members are aware of what the categories entail... Anita Benda, consultant to the S6VSCC will be present at the council meet- ' ing to~aid in that discussion. The SWSCC will begin their analysis of the three proposals submitted for franchises immediately.. A number of groups that have, been following the SWSCC process have indicated their desire to evaluate the proposals and submit recommendations to the commission. .In addition, the Cable Television Information Center, as consultant to the conunission, will do a formal evaluation of all the bids and submit a report in early September, 1980. By mid-September, the SWSCC will be finalizing their recommendations to the five city councils. The five city councils must then consider the recommenda- tions and decide which company to award the franchise to through passage of an ordinance on first and second reading. Under terms of the franchise application, all five cities must concur in their award of bid to a single company or four of the cities must come to agreement on a company with that company choosing to accept the franchise for the four cities. This provision was included in the application ordinance that the city council approved late last year in an attempt to receive the best possible franchise applications through the banding together of the five communities. Potential dissolution of the group would have left the cable companies bidding on a basis of providing services to all five groups and receiving only one or two cities in the franchise award. It is extremely critical that the city councils involved not make determination on the award of the franchise until after the SWSCC recommendation. We are undoubtedly down to the most difficult part of the franchising process and the next three months will be critical to the process.. In addition, the council needs to decide on what role the Richfield Citizen Advisory Committee on Cable Television will play in the process. In April, 1979 the city council appointed an ad hoc citizens advisory committee on cable television. The committee was to be a temporary committee formu- lated under the Minnesota Cable Commission Board's requirements to determine needs for cable television prior to beginning the franchise process. The citizens advisory committee met over a period of four or five months and issued a needs assessment report which undoubted- ly was the most comprehensive done within the five city area. At the conclusion of their work the city council requested the advisory committee to stay in existence to help with the franchise evaluation for a cable television system for the City of Richfield. The comm- ittee undertook an analysis of the draft ordinance at the city council request and submitted recommendations, many of which were Council Letter No. 230 ultimately accepted by SWSCC for ordinance. Since that time the i.3;€ormed of the timetable on the of their input on the evaluation needs to determine exactly what have the cable committee review. -4- June 23, 1980 inclusion in the final franchise city staff has kept the committee franchising process in anticipation of the proposals. The city council and how much, they would like to We have enough proposals to provide each cable committee member a copy of all three company~s proposals. Due to the rather technical nature of the proposals and the voluminous amount of reading which they entail, it would seem appropriate to limit the cable conunittee's analysis to those areas which they originally addressed in their needs assessment report. I am sure that the cable committee does not feel that they have the expertise to evaluate the technical items within the proposals, nor would they probably desire to get into those matters. They have, however, expressed strong concerns about specific needs of the community and would undoubtedly like to make suggestions concerting the applicant's responsiveness to those needs. I would suggest that the city council request the cable committee to review the proposals in light of the needs assessment report and to issue a report which would detail their analysis of the proposals. That report could be transmitted by the city to the SWSCC for their consideration in the evaluation of the applicants. The items which the cable committee listed in their needs assessment report are for the most part, items listed as "A" and "B" in the evaluation categories listed above.. However, many other items will need to be evaluated by the SWSCC and as a result, the cable committee should probably refrain from making a recommendation as to a specific company, but rather evaluate each company in light of their proposed needs. I am sending copies of this council letter to the cable committee so that they may make any input into the city council that they might desire for Monday night. .

Y The city staff has been meeting with the owners of this property to explore rehabilitation alternatives. There are several property owners and they are represented by their attorney's Joseph and Stephan Bard. After the initial meetings, which were held in the spring of 1979, the Bards met with the property owners who concluded that they were not interested in rehabilitation of the property. Company. Mr. John Seiff is p_r_eside~lt and chairman of the board of the company. In the fall of 1979, Mr. Seiff expressed an interest in purchasing and rehabilitating the property. For several months, negotiations involving the Bards, Mr. Sieff, and his attorney have been underway. To encourage the negotiations to a successful conclusion and to achieve the rehabilitation of the property, the HRA and the city council have been requested to undertake certain actions. The HRA at their June 16, 1980 meeting, adopted a resolution describing three options which the present property o;,mers may exercise in meeting the rehabilitation goals for this property: (1) to rehab- ilitate the property in accordance with L/H/N standards; (2) to sell the property to someone who agree: to bring it into conform- ance with L/H/N standards; or, if neither. of the above is possible, (3) the HRA would authorize eminent domain proceedings to acquire the property. The HRA would then pursue rehabilitation with a third party. At this time, option number two appears to be the _Council Letter No. 229 -2- June 23, 1980 The ci under the issue would be utilized by Mr. Seiff, included in this project, and the cost to the city the easements necessary for improvements to Lyndale 6th Street. By adopting the attached resolution, the city council will estab- lish July 28, 1980 as the date of public hearing to consider pro- viding tax exempt financing for this project. At that time, the council will also be requested to approve a developer's agreement. If the hearing results are satisfactory and the developer's agree- ment is acceptable, the appropriate council action subsequent to the hearing would be to adopt a resolution giving preliminary approval to the use of tax exempt financing for this project.

The city is still negotiating with representatives of Local 49 IUOE, which repre- sents most of our maintenance employees, on the local issues portion of the 1980-81 contract for that group of municipal employees. The master contract for Local 49 was approved by the council last winter. We have received word from representatives of the Richfield Police Officers Federation, Police Supervisors Association and the International Association of Firefighters Local 1215, of their in- tent to reopen contract negotiations for 1981. For this reason, I believe it is appropriate for the city council to take formal action designating the city's representative for conducting these labor negotiations for the upcoming contract negotiations. It is my recommendation that the city council designate the city manager to be responsible for our labor contract negotiations, and authorise the manager, in turn, to form a negotiating team to represent the city at the bargaining table. I believe it would also be appropriate for the city council to designate one member of the council to serve as a primary council liaison to work with the city manager in the formulation of negotiation issues and to monitor the on-going negotiation process. This council liaison process for labor relations negotiations has worked very well for the city over the past couple of years, enabling the management staff to have on- going conversation with at least one council member, to insure that the direction of negotiations and city policy is consistent with overall council policy, while not circumventing the negotiation process by requiring negotiation strategy to be discussed at an open meeting. It is very important that all participants in the labor relations process respect the integrity of the process. Any discussions or violations outside the bargaining process which have an ultimate effect on the negotiation can result in charges of unfair labor Council Letter No. 228 -2- June 23, 1980 practices against one of the parties. That outcome would result in costly problems both in terms of expense and morale. I anticipate negotiations for 1981 to be very difficult in light of the city's financial constraints, the inflationary economy and the recent fire- fighter wage settlement. On a related issue, attached to this council letter is a recent request from the Metropolitan Area Management Association suggesting that N1AD1A member cities designate the MAMA organization to serve as their representative in 1981 police negotiations.. As council members are aware, Richfield for many years has participated jointly through the MAMA organization with numerous other communities in negotiating master contract issues with Local 49. Many of those same communities for years have conducted joint police negotiations because many of their police personnel were represented by Teamsters Local 320. The. Teamsters union has recently begun withdrawing from representation of police personnel, at least in this Metropolitan Area, which threatens to breakdown the joint bargaining process which has been used with police negotiations in the past. It is the feeling of the MAMA organization that designation of a single bargaining representative on the management side (i.e. MAi3A) will help alleviate any whipsaw effect which might occur if indiv- idual municipalities are forced to negotiate individually with their police bargaining units. The historical pattern in any metropolitan area such as ours has been for each successive wage and benefit agreement from one city to the next to be slightly better than the one previously negotiated. This pattern of oneupsmanship can create wide disparity among similar groups of employees performing similar functions, can increase overall costs of compensating those employees, and can .serve as a deterrent to the negotiation process, as each group seeks to delay settlement until others have settled, in hopes• that they may achieve a slightly better settlement based on what other communities do. I believe it is very important that metropol- itan area cities cooperate very closely to minimize the impact of such competitive negotiations. However, the labor negotiator which would represent P~iA in these negotiations is a professional negotiator whom the City of Rich- field has used on several occasions in the past. In any discussions with our employee groups, the negotiator would become the issue rather than the discussion of wages, benefits, and working conditions. For this reason, although I support the concept of cooperative bar- gaining and the need to carefully monitor and coordinate negotiated labor settlements, I believe the most productive relationship which we can maintain with our organized employee groups will result from conducting labor negotiations with existing city staff personnel, rather than using an outside professional labor negotiator. It is my intent, unless council members disagree, to advise the MAMA organization that the City of Richfield will conduct its own Council Letter No. 228 -3- June 23, 1980 labor negotiations, rather than naming P~.AMA as their management representative in police negotiations. At the same time, I would request that we be able to closely coordinate with the joint bar- gaining team in order to gain the benefits of that process without its negative implications for our community.

Waiver of the lighting fee for use of Donaldson Park ballf fields; 2. 3. e and maintain Donaldson Park for the 11, 1980 tournament. The first request relates to the council adopted schedule of fees and charges for ballfields and light usage. A copy of that fee schedule is attached. The city staff does not have the authority to waive these fees. These requests were before the park and recreation advisory commission on June 10, 1980. In one action, the commission mem- bers present expressed unanimous sentiment that the park and recre- ation advisory commission supports the American Legion State Base- ball Tournament. In another action, following much discussion of ter presentations by the staff, Mr. Kispert and by George Karnas, general chairman of the 1980 State Legion Tournament, the commission recommended that the city council waive the curfew, as requested, and that further consideration be given to the light fee waiver Various fund raisers have been held and will be held in conjunction with this tournament. Additional revenues are gained through admission fees to the games and through the sale of con- cessions during the games. The cost of lights would be an expense - ~ .~ ~~ w.

Since early this year, the staff has been meeting with park neighbors as part of the regular neighborhood park planning process used by the city.. The first neighborhood meeting focused on the possibility of vacating 65th Street be- tween Sheridan Avenue and Thomas Avenue and combining the school and park grounds into a single area.. At that time, it was agreed by the park community and the Park and Recreation Advisory Conun- ission that 65th Street should not be vacated. Hence, the three subsequent meetings with the Sheridan Park neighborhood were dir- ected toward only the 6.79 acres in the existing park for the purposes of park, recreation and open. space design. Discussion centered on aesthetics activities and amenities. Written and verbal commentary Eton; the neighborhood was amassed by the city staff and a park plan design was presented to the neighborhood. The design elements that received the highest prior- ity from the neighborhood included a path connecting from the south side of the park at Thomas Avenue cul-du-sac to the north end of the park at about Upton Avenue, additional plantings of trees and shrubs, a duck island for the storm water holding pond, a security light, a sand volleyball pit, horseshoe pits, benches, picnic tables, resurfacing of the ballfield, and expansion of the play apparatus to provide for younger children, generally in the 3-5 year-old range. 6Vork on the path will need to be contracted. The security light can be provided by NSP at no charge except for the payment of energy usage. Other supplies and materials such as plantings, sand, lurlber, hardware and so forth, will need to be purchased. Labor for construction and installation of the majority of items will be provided by city labor forces, and design of the play apparatus for the tot lot expansion will be done by the city staff. Current cost estimates indicate that the improvement items. Council Letter PJo. 225 -2- June 23, 1980 The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission reviewed the Sheridan Park plans at their regular meeting of June 10, 1980.. The plans, as presented by the staff and as outlined herein, were unanimously recommended for city council approval by that comm- ission. A sketch of Sheridan Park and the proposed park improve- ment design will be avilable for council review at the city council meeting on June 23, 1930. Subsequent to that review, it is recommended that the city council approve the plans for minor improvements at Sheridan Park and au.thor.ze construction of those improvements. Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberger City b2anager KN/eja cc: Community Services Director Finance Coordinator CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 224 Agenda June 23, 1980 The~Honorable Mayor . and Members of the City Council City of Richf field Council Members: Subject: Proposed Golf Course Fees and Charges Planning and construction of a Richfield municipal golf course has been underway for several years. As we near the anticipated official opening day in August, 1980, it is important to determine policies, fees and charges relating to that facility. The staff, ad hoc citizen golf course committee and the park and recreation advisory commission have held numerous discussions and completed untold amounts of research on these subjects, and have developed a proposed fee schedule for council consideration at the June 23, 1980 city council meeting. The proposals, if adopted by the city council, would be in effect for 1980, although adjustments to the fee schedules would most likely be necessary for the 1981 season. Although, for example, we know that the Par 3 course will not open until 1981, it is the opinion of the staff that a structure of policies, fees and charges should be determined for the entire facility as a basis for opera- tions in later years. All of the recommendations are based on three primary concerns: first, the desire to stay competitive with surr- ounding golf courses; second, the need to establish and maintain fiscal responsibility for this major facility which must be "profit- able"; and third, ease in management and administration. Recommenda- tions are made to reflect the 198G market and need. Careful con- sideration has been given related to limitations imposed on the lease between the Metropolitan Airports Commission and the City of Richfield for the golf course site. Those limitations are primar- ily that all citizens shall be treated equally without undue dis- crimination for or against any segment or population, such as Rich- field residents. The driving range opened on Jur_e 7, 1980. A large bucket of balls has been selling for $2.00, and a small bucket of balls for $1.25. As a point of interest, the driving range seems to be doing well. .Usage is steady, weather permitting, and revenues are currently Council Letter No. 224 -2- June 23, 1980 about $200 per day. It is recommended that the city council confirm these driving range charges. Following is the recommended fee schedule for the regulation 18-hole course: - Weekday $6.50 $4.50 $4.00 $3.25 per round Weekend 7.00 5 ~o ~ 4.00 3.25 per round 5.,~~,~~., .a .any ~_~;~~ c `~~o~> A.M *Restricted hours only (see recommendations for junior and senior permits). Patron Ticket The committee and park and recreation commission have held ex- tensive discussions related to a season ticket and/or patron ticket. A season ticket would provide for a.purchase price that allows the ticket holder to play an unlimited amount of golf without daily charge. Generally, the price of a season ticket is set so that the golfer must play approximately 30 or 40 rounds of golf or more per year to "breakeven". A patron ticket allows for a green fee discount per round. In addition, the patron ticket holder is offered an advantage in making a reservation, as can be noted in the summary of those recommendations. It was the opinion of the committee that the patron ticket best suited the Richfield golf course and its players.„, The following is the recommended fee schedule for the patron ticket: , Individual $30.00 Senior permit 10.00 - special green fee Junior permit 10.00 - special green fee Individual Patron Ticket Holder Discounts: 18-hole $ 1.00 9-hole .50 Par-3 .50 Junior Permit 1. Require registration with the golf course manager to receive .a "junior permit" at the cost of $10.00. 2. This permit would allow its holder to purchase a special green fee for $3.25 per round. . Council Letter No. 224 -3- June 23, 1980 3. The purchaser of this special green fee would be re- stricted to specific hours of plav. Those times ~QY , (Tee off times). 4. To be eligible for this permit, a junior would have to be no older than 18 years, or still in high school, and no younger than 13 years. 5. Juniors 12 years and under would be eligible to purchase a "special junior permit" at the same price, but would be only allowed to play-the Par 3 golf course. There would be two exceptions to this rule: (a) if a junior plays with a ap rent, or (b) can shoot a. score of 40 or better on the Par 3 golf course. 6. Juniors who wish to play at hours other than those 7. The permits would not give its holder the privilege of making starting times. 'l. Require registration with the golf course manager to receive a "senior permit" at the cost of $10.00. 2. This permit would allow a senior to green fee for $3.25 per round. 3.

To be eligible for this permit a senior would have to be of social security age (62 years or older). 5. This permit would not give its holder the privilege of making starting times. The reservation systems for golf courses seem to vary widely. Considerable discussion was held related to the variety of systems available, and the following system is recommended as the most appropriate for the Richfield facility: 1. Patrons may make reservations on Tuesday for Saturday and on Wednesday for Sunday . ~ ~ r1 ~ ~_ ~ ~-. ~ ~~ = -t-;+ ~ "` ~ ~ „M t-S L ('r '1 A-~o,_.2. 4-71 ~~.. ~'"+ .l (~~~I% ~,. p... .. i ~. c~p ~1,~..1 ~. 2.

Council Letter No. 224 June 23, 1980 4. A patron would be entitled tomake only one reservation. 5. Once a patron reservation has been made, that patron or another patron, must play in the group or the time is forfeited. 6. 7. Reservations will be taken for fivesomes on weekdays and weekends. 8. Reservations will be taken by .telephone or person, alter- nately, beginning at 7:00 a.m. The following is recommended as the green fee system for the Par 3 course: Regular *Unrestricted hours -4- Juniors & Patron Seniors $2.50 $2.00 2.50 2.00' Juniors & Seniors with Permits $1.50 1.50 The following recommendations. are made related to the Par 3 course: 1. That juniors and seniors be encouraged to play the Par 3 course and be given a reduced rate. 2. That no reservations be taken for the Par 3. 3. That a second round discount of 50~ be given with no preference on the first tee. Golf Cars It is recommended that no golf cars, furnished or private, be allowed on the course for safety, traffic control and turf mainten ance reasons until such time as paths are provided in strategic locations, at a minimum, or other arrangements can be made to in- sure safety, traffic control and turf conditions. At such time as golf cars are permitted on the course, the following fee schedule is recommended: ~ .l . - ~. .... J , ~ V V In the last two years or so, we have received approximately 20-25 written requests for leagues. League play will not be permitted on the course during the 1980 season due to the late opening date. However, the following recommendations are made related to leagues and league play: 1. Thursday on both nines. 2. Minimum size for league consideration would be 16 players. 3. No discount would be given to league players. They would pay the standard nine hole rate of $4.50 for all participants. 4. A tee time fee of $20.00 for the season, based on 16 weeks, would be imposed. This fee would be paid in advance of the season by each league. 5. Once the number of necessary tee times were established for each league, they would be required to guarantee those times. Payment of these guaranteed green fees would be made before play each day. 6. Each league's conduct and performance would be review- ed at the end of the season. Leagues not meeting the standards of the golf course would be dropped from the schedule. 7. Leagues would be given a special rules sheet and asked to adopt it for the purposes of speeding play. In 1979, a group of men interested in the game of golf began organizing a Richfield's Mens Club. The club is similar in structure to other special interest groups in the City of Richfield such as Little League, soccer or basketball, in that the club is independ- ently organized and operated. It was the general opinion of the staff and the advisory golf course committee that a club provides a nucleus of people to patronize and promote a golf facility. [4ith that in mind, the following recommendations are made related to a Men's Club: ~ w Council Letter No. 224 -6- June 23, 1980 3. To be eligible for advance tee time registration, the group must be composed of Men's Club members only. 4. Times not taken by the Men's Club would be given to the general public two days in advance. 5. That consideration be given for a maximum of five events to be held throughout the season on Sunday mornings. This excludes the 24-man team event which is based on a periodic rotation from course to course. Specific times would be arranged with the golf course manager. These dates and times would be published and actively advertised well in advance. •~. ~\.~_, Ladies C lu b /~ ~ 1 ~, ~,.; CQ.Q- . [although we are not aware of any specific organization of a Ladies' Club in the city, the organizers of the Men's Club indicate that some women have called them and the committee members indicate hearing interest in the community for the formation of a Ladies' Club. In anticipation of the organization of a Richfield Ladies' Club, the following recommendations are made: 1. 2. 3_ 4. Summary To be eligible for advance tee time registration, the group must be composed of Ladies' Club members only. Times not taken by the Ladies Club would be given to the general public two days in advance. /~ ~~~ O ~k~`' a The Rich Acres Golf Course is just beginning its operational activities. The golf course is a facility that must be self-supporting to the point of repaying the bond issue that financed its construction, in addition to providing for operating expenditures. The staff, the committee and the commission have spent many hours reviewing possible structure systems for policies, fees and charges.

At that time, the city council requested additional information regarding these festivals and requested that this item come before the city council at a later council meeting.

Respectfully submitted, ,~ Karl Nollenberger City Manager s cc: Public Safety Director CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 220 Agenda June 23, 1980 The Honorable Mayor - and Members of the City Council City of Richf field Council Members: Subject: License Renewal Request, Tip-Top Car Wash, 6601 Bloomington Avenue There is an item scheduled on the June 23, 1980 city council agenda providing for council consideration of a business license renewal application for the Tip-Top Car Wash, located at 6601 Bloomington Avenue. As council members are aware, the city has experienced reoccuring problems with this business establishment. In fact, as of early Niay, the business owner had not applied for a license with which to operate during the current year. As a result of this fact, and in consideration of the number of com- plaints we have received over the years, the Director of Public Safety wrote to the owner of the business ordering him to cease operations until such time as a license was granted for the current year. The special use permit for a coin operated car wash at G601 Bloomington Avenue was issued by the city council on September 13, 1965. In reviewing the council minutes, it appears that there was a great deal of concern expressed by the council at that time with the potential problems that a non-attended car wash could create, although operation of this type of a business was permitted in this location by Richfield's zoning code. The business buildings were constructed in late 1965, with completion on December 10, 1965. Our first recorded complaints regarding this business were received by the city in April, 1966, and have been rather consist- ent since then. Over the years, we have received at least 34 formal complaints generally involving the manner in which the premises were maintain- ed, or rattier, not maintained. The city has been involved in liti- gation as the result of citations issued to the owner for failure to comply with orders to correct various violations which were the basis for the complaints the city received. Additionally, on occasion the city has employed a private contractor to correct vio- lations and has assessed the cost of this activity directly against the business. 1~ Council Letter No. 220 The -2- June 23, 1980 itionally, there have been a number of indirect complaints which have been brought to our attention through contacts made by the neighbors directly with members of the city council. In an attempt to resolve some of these problems, in June, 1979, Mayor Law chaired a meeting between I~~r. Colehour and several members of the city: staff including the environmental health manager, the planning director aid the city's chief building inspector. That effort seemed to resolve a number of complaints which the city had received, at least for a period of months. In March .of this year, however, we again started receiving complaints about the general maintenance of the p•operty and the manner in which the business is operated. At that time, the environmental health manager inspected the premises and found the complaints to be substantiated. It was also deter- mined at that time that the bus'_:.ess license for the current year had not been renewed. Since the present owner took over operation of the business in January, 1978, there have been eight direct contacts made by the city ordering compliance with various code violations. Since our last inspection in March of this year, the Public Safety Director has been in personal contact with the owner of this business oper- ation, seeking to resolve these complaints. In reviewing the pattern of complaints the city has received over the years, it appears that the problems with this business seem to exist in the following areas: 1. The driveway area is frequently littered with refuse. 2. The trash cans are frequently overflowing. 3. The general condition of the landscaping is neglected. 4. Customers are permitted to use the car wash after 12 o'clock midnight in violation of the city licen- sing_code. 5. The building structure is not maintained in a respons- ible manner and has become a blight upon the neigh- borhood. 6. created a community nuisance, which is not compatible with the neighborhood in which it is located, and is both obnoxious and detrimental to the community. This general condition violates the special use permit which was originally granted for the operation of this business. r r Council Letter No. 220 -3- June 23, 1980 Because of the on-going pattern of this business over the years regardless business operated without a license for current year, and, finally, because the to be operated in a manner consistent w which was granted by the city council, scheduled for discussion by the council complaints generated by of ownership, because the six months during the business does not seem ith the special use permit this matter is now being as a regular agenda item. is in the ~..~,. ... ...++r vv~.a++v .+.~ vv .~..~~.

Therefore, the Director of Public Safety, in consideration of due process proceedings, has deferred action terminating the business activity until such time as the applicant has an opportunity to be heard before the city council. In view of the lengthy problems both the city and the resident- ial neighborhood have experienced with this business operation, it is the recommendation of the Public Safety Director, in which I concur, tha assure the corrected, Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN/ej a cc: Public Safety Director Deputy City Clerk City Attorney
