Council Letter No. 35
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Ratification of Labor Agreement with Local 49
There is an item on the January 14, 1980 city council agenda
providing for council ratification of the 1980/81 Master Contract
Agreement with Union of Operating Engineers Local 49, the bargain-
ing group which represents most of the city's maintenance personnel.
Richfield and 21 other communities negotiate a master contract
agreement with Local 49 which covers most of the major contract
items, including most of the language and economic benefits. The
contract which is before the city council on January 14 represents
the master contract. The City of Richfield, and each other indiv-
idual city, is responsible for negotiating with its own group of
Local 49 employees on issues not covered by the master contract
which are bargainable under terms of the Minnesota Public Employee
Labor Relations Act. In Richfield's case, there are but two or
three issues which have been raised by the 49ers to be addressed
in local negotiations, and no more issues than that to be addressed
with which the city is concerned with addressing on the local
level. It is anticipated that negotiations on the local contract
will be initiated before the end of this month.
The major economic issues relating to the Local 49 employees
are addressed within the master contract. The major changes with
economic impact which are included in the 1980 contract include
the following: the employer will contribute up to a maximum of
$85 per month per employee during 1980 for group health and life
insurance, including dependent coverage. The maximum employer
contribution for insurance coverages to Local 49 employees during
1979 was $72 per month. The employee will provide 11 paid holidays,
rather than 10 paid holidays. The top step of each payroll class-
ification will be increased by 62? per hour. The first and
second steps of the three step range will be adjusted to be at 900
and 95% respectively, of the top step. The percentage increase
on this wage adjustment ranges from 8.4% for a light equipment
operator to 8% for a heavy equipment operator. The contract is
to cover both 1980 and 1981, with the city's insurance contribution
and the wage schedule to be reopenable for negotiation during cal-
endar year 1981.
Council Letter No. 35 -2-
The master contract for Local 49
for 1980 is basically consistent with
adjustments for other groups of city
January 14, 1980
which has been negotiated
the wage and other economic
employees in 1980.
One of the considerations which the council may wish to add-
ress with regard to the proposed master agreement with Local 49
for 1980 relates to the addition of one more holiday. Richfield
police officers and supervisors already receive 11 paid holidays.
The employees represented by the firefighters bargaining group
receive holidays based on their 24-hour work day, which is difficult
to compare to the 8-hour shift assignments and work day holidays
given other employees. However, the city's management and general
service employees only receive 10 paid holidays. It would be my
suggestion that the city council consider a means of amending
the ordinance code to establish 11 paid holidays for these em-
ployees as well, to be consistent with the holiday schedule now
provided for those employees represented by organized bargaining
groups.

•
The city council will be presented with a resolution at the
January 14, 1980 city council meeting which will provide for rat-
ification of the proposed master agreement between the City and
Local 49 for the year 1980 and 1981 and authorizing a transfer from
the contingency account to the appropriate departmental accounts
which is necessary to implement the financial settlement described
in this contract agreement.

Council Letter No. 34
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Discussion of Order of Business for
Council Meetings
Several council members have recently indicated an interest
in reviewing the existing order of business relating to the conduct
of council meetings. Three specific proposals have been suggested
that relate to council agenda procedures:
1. Provision of allocated time at the beginning of the
agenda to permit residents to address the council
on miscellaneous matters not specifically related
to other agenda items;
2.' Consent agenda procedures
3. .License and permit approvals
The city code, section 2.01 through 2.08 (copy attached), es-
tablishes the existing rules and order of business for city council
meetings. These ordinance provisions have been enacted in accord-
ance with Section 3.03 of the city charter, which provides "the
council shall determine its own rules and order of business."
The city attorney has suggested that if the council wishes
to establish a new rule of procedure, it should be done by amending
the appropriate sections of the ordinance code. For instance, if
the city council wishes to establish a time period at the beginn-
ing of each council meeting to permit citizens to address the
council, that order of business should probably be listed in
Section 2.03. I would suggest that if the council wishes to es'ab-
lish this type of agenda item, that the city council also adopt,
perhaps by resolution, the specific procedures to be followed in
receiving such testimony from members of the public, and regulat-
ing the specific time on the agenda allocated for this purpose.
Ordinance Section 2.07, subdivision 2, contains provisions
relating to special rules. If the city council wants to provide
. for a special rule permitting a consent calendar, or as it is
sometimes called, a consent agenda, it would be appropriate for
Council Letter No. 34 -2- January 14, 1980
such a provision to be adopted in this section of the code. Such
a provision could, in substance, authorize the city manager to
place any item which he deems to be of a routine or non-contro-
versial nature, on a consent agenda. Any council member could re-
quest that any item on the consent agenda be removed from the
consent agenda and made a separate item of business. All items
not so removed from the consent agenda, could then be acted upon
by the council by a single, non-debatable motion.
Items which are customarily included on consent agendas are:
Approval of minutes of previous meetings, acknowledgement of commun-
ications to the council and the granting of licenses and permits.
Other items which might appear on a consent agenda could include
release of contract bonds upon completion of contracts, approval
of partialpayments on construction contracts, approval of claims,
and perhaps purchases in excess of $1,000.
A final matter which members of the city council have requested
the staff to look into, relates to the issuance of licenses and
permits. On almost every city council agenda, there are numerous
licenses and permits listed for council approval. These range from
certain types of signs and parking permits, to various amusement
related permits, to taxicab driver licenses. Attached to this
council letter is a summary prepared by the city attorney's office
of licenses and permits currently issued by the city and the current
issuing authority. This listing is provided to the council for
. discussion and determination if the council wishes to establish
different,issuing authofizations for any or all of these permits.

2.08. ATTENDANCE AT COUNCIL = TINGS. The attendance at council meetings of
each member of the council is deemed to be one of the most important duties
imposed by law upon him. His presence to participate in the hearings, delib-
erations and decisions of the Council is essential to the proper discharge of
his official duties. Recognizing that it is not always possible for each
member of the Council to be present at all meetings, and that by reason of
business demands, state of health, personal problems, vacations and other
matters occasional absences are excusable, the following rules apply to
absences of Council members from council meetings when invoked by resolution:
(1) The Council may by resolution at any time invoke the rules hereinafter
set forth, and such rules shall thereupon remain in effect until the end of
the calendar year during which the resolution is passed unless revoked prior
to that time by resolution of the Council.
(2) No member of the Council shall be absent from any regular meeting of
the Council, nor from any special meeting of which he receives proper notice,
unless excused by a majority of the Council.
(3) Notices of special meetings shall be deemed properly addressed if
addressed to the address shown on the member's voting registration.
(4) For each unexcused absence from a regular or special meeting of the
Council, each Councilman shall be penalized by a fine of such amount not ex-
ceeding $75, as set out in the resolution invoking these rules, and the Mayor
is penalized by a fine of such amount, not exceeding $100, as may be set out
in such resolution. The resolution may specify a lesser penalty for absence
from a special meeting than a regular meeting.
(5) Any member of the Council desiring to be excused sliall, insofar as
possible, give advance notice in writing to the Clerk, stating the meeting
at which-lie will be absent, his reason for being absent and where lie will be
during the meeting.
(6) If circumstances prevent a member from giving such advance written
notice, he shall give a written statement to the Clerk as soon as possible
after the meeting from which he was absent, setting forth the reason for his
absence and his reason for being unable to give such advance notice.
(7) At the next ensuing meeting after such written notice or explanation
is received, the Council shall act to either excuse the absence or refuse to
excuse it.
(8) Until the Council has received and acted on such written notice of
explanation, further salary of the member who has been absent shall not be
paid.
(9) If the Council deteryines that the absence is not excused, the amount
of the penalty for each unexcused absence shall be deducted from the salary
of the member whose absence was not excused.
(10) The total penalties for such unexcused absences occurring during
any month shall not exceed the amount of the total monthly salary of any
Councilman involved.

Subject: Minutes, Tabulation of Bids and Award of
Contract for Treated Lumber for Fence
Construction
On January 10, 1980, at 11:30 a.m., bids were opened by the
Assistant City Manager in the city hall council chambers for
treated lumber to be used to build the fence on the north side
of 65th Street in the L/H/N redevelopment area. The Community

Safety Director and Acting City Clerk also represented the city
at the bid opening. A copy of the bid minutes and tabulations
are attached.
. The city received two bids to supply treated lumber. These
bids were from G. M. Stewart Lumber Company and Lampert Lumber
Company. The bid of Lampert Lumber in the amount of $5,679.41,
was the low bid received.
It is the recommendation of the Acting Planning Director, that

Subject: Request for Approval of Planned Unit Development
Rezoning Ordinance, and Preliminary Plat, for
Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market, Inc. Improve-
ment Project
HISTORY
The redevelopment plan for the Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet redevel-
opment plan adopted by the city council originally called for the
existing Lyndale Fruit,& Vegetable Market, Inc. to be relocated
to the home improvement center area at 66th Street and Lyndale
Avenue. Multiple residences were to be developed on the present
Lyndale.Market site. Subsequently, the staff determined that it
was no longer economically feasible to relocate the Lyndale Fruit
& Vegetable Market, Inc. as planned. On March 26, 1979, the city
council amended the redevelopment plan to allow the existing Lyn-
dale Fruit & Vegetable Market, Inc. building to be rehabilitated
and expanded at its existing location. On November 13, 1979 the
city council gave first reading approval to the attached ordinance
amendment to accomplish the rezoning.
PROPOSAL
Mr. Burt Rutman is proposing to rehabilitate the existing
22,000 square foot Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market building and
construct a 31,000 square foot building addition to the north of
the existing building. The new addition would be used for stor-
age, general sales, and greenhouse sales. The existing building
would continue to be used as a general sales area. Exterior
building materials to be used on both the existing and new build-
ings will be brick, wood and greenhouse glazing.
The existing print shop will remain, the parking area to
the south of the existing building will be removed, and the ex-
isting house to the north of the existing building will be re-
located, either on the site or adjacent to it. There will also
Council Letter No. 32 -2-
January 14, 1980
be outside display areas south and west of the building, and also
east of the new addition. All outside display areas will be en-
closed by architectural picket, chain link or wood screen fences
depending on location.
The proposal involves several land acquisitions. The appli-
cant will be requesting that the HRA acquire land adjacent to the
north edge of the existing Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market prop-
erty. This land would then be sold to the applicant to allow for
the development of a new parking lot. The applicant also proposes
to lease two small parcels of city owned land adjacent to Richfield
Lake to increase the amount of outdoor display space available to
him.
Parking areas for 238 cars will be developed to the north of
the building. Two existing homes would have to be removed to
allow the proposed parking lot development to take place. The
proposed parking lot would be lower than the adjacent residential
properties and will be screened by a six-foot wood fence.
Access to the parking area will be from one entrance to the
site from Lyndale Avenue at 64th Street. An easement of 8-20 feet
wide, in the amount of $55,000, along Lyndale Avenue for the
planned Lyndale Avenue public improvements will be dedicated to
the city at no cost, if the project is approved.
Landscaping will consist of overstory trees, shrubs, bushes,
• and ground cover which will conform to city standards.
The applicant is requesting that

The comprehensive plan indicates that this site should be developed
as medium to high density central business district development in-
cluding retail commercial establishments. The site is within the
boundaries of the L/H/N redevelopment project. The L/H/N redevel-
opment plan calls for the rehabilitation and expansion of the
existing Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market. The project plans have
been coordinated with the subdivision regulations of the city and
there is no departure from subdivision regulations.
It is the opinion of the staff that the proposed project is
in general conformance with the comprehensive plan, the redevelop-
ment plan and the subdivision regulations of the city. The prop-
osal does depart from the general commercial zoning district re-
quirements for front yard setback. The existing building is set
back 16 feet from the existing property line and 8 feet from the
public improvement easement along Lyndale Avenue. The new addition
will be set back 36 feet from the existing property.line and 16
feet from the easement area. It is the staff's opinion that the
proposed setbacks will not be detrimental to the public welfare.
The front yard setback of the new addition will be similar to
the setbacks of the buildings to the north and to that of the
Lyndale Avenue liquor store to the south.
2. Availability of Public Services - The site is adequately
served by utilities including gas, water, electricity and sanitary
sewer from lines within the Lyndale Avenue right-of-way. A storm
sewer line runs through the property to Richfield Lake. North-
western Bell has requested a five-foot wide utility easement
through the property.
3. Traffic Circulation and Control - Access to the site will
be provided by one entrance off of Lyndale Avenue at 64th Street.
There will be a 22-foot wide entrance land and a 22-foot wide exit
lane separated by a six foot median. There will be a left turn
lane on northbound Lyndale Avenue to facilitate access into the
site.
Council Letter No. 32 -4- January 14,, 1980
The fact that there will only be one access into the site
• poses some safety and traffic flow problems because all traffic
is concentrated in one area. Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market
can generate approximately 1700 ADT during peak seasons. The
proposal would more than double the floor area of the building
which could mean that up to 4000 ADT could be generated by the
completed development. This estimate would be high, however,
because the use is already established on the site and it has an
established clientele. Some increase in traffic can be expected
however.
Lyndale Avenue adjacent to the site presently carries 14,700
vehicles per day. Once the L/H/N redevelopment project is com-
pleted, traffic projections indicate that 16,300 vehicles per day
will travel on Lyndale. Eighteen accidents occurred on Lyndale
Avenue in 1978 according to public safety department records. The
additional trips due to the proposed development could result in
one or two more accidents over this segment of Lyndale Avenue.
The planned public improvements, including channelization and
signalization, will increase the capacity of Lyndale Avenue and
reduce the number of accidents in the area.
4. Parking - City parking guidelines indicate that 250 off-
street parking spaces should be provided on the site. Only 238
spaces are shown on the site plan. The proposed parking areas
would not meet city parking standards in that some parking stalls
will be only 18 or 19 feet deep, rather than the required 20 feet
and some driving aisles would not be 24 feet wide. Also, the
proposed parking lot would not provide the required 15 foot setback
from the residence zoning district on the north edge of the prop-
erty. A 10 to 12 foot setback will be provided. Sufficient land
area exists on the site to provide sufficient number of spaces and
to comply with city standards. The amount of outdoor display space
would have to be reduced, however. A 6 foot high wood screen
fence will be provided to protect the adjacent residences from
the parking lot impacts.
5. Lakeshore Issues - Because the site is adjacent to Rich-
field Lake which is classified as a public body of water, the plans
have to be approved by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Minnehaha Watershed District.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has indicated
that no cutting, filling, destruction of existing vegetation, con-
struction or use of property can occur within the ordinary high
water mark of the lake without a DNR permit. The DNR has deter-
mined that the ordinary highwater mark occurs at an elevation of
115.95 feet. A portion of the outside display area and a portion
of the new parking lot will fall within the ordinary high water
mark. The applicant has indicated that the parking lot will be
redesigned so that it will not be within the ordinary high water
mark. DRN has approved a permit to allow the outside storage
area to exist below the ordinary high water line. The applicants
have agreed to provide runoff control measures which have been re-
quested by the watershed district.
Council Letter No. 32 -5- January 14, 1980
Potential problems exist also because of the proposed bike-
way around Richfield Lake. The applicant has indicated that there
• is insufficient space on his property to provide the city with an
easement for the proposed bikeway. This means that the bikeway
would have to be constructed outside the property and probably
within the ordinary high water mark. This would limit the design
possibilities of the bikeway and increase its cost.
6. Light Exposure, Air Circulation, and Open Space - There
will be adequate light exposure and air circulation on the site.
There will be adequate space between the proposed buildings and
adjacent buildings which will insure sufficient light and air cir-
culation to all buildings. Considerable open space will be main-
tained around the proposed buildings.
7. Impact of Project on the Neighborhood - The project should
have minimal effect on the surrounding neighborhood. Two single
family residences will have to be removed to allow for the devel-
opment of the north parking area. No undue increase in traffic
will occur in surrounding residential areas because access to the
site will be from Lyndale Avenue only. The primary building mater-
ials to be used on the existing and proposed addition will relate
well with surrounding buildings. Proper screening will be installed
to protect adjacent residences from the proposed use on the site.
8. Preliminary Plat - The attached sheets 1-3, constitute the
preliminary plat. All required information is shown except for a
5 foot utility easement for Northwestern Bell through the site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION ,
1.; Preliminary PUD Plan - It is the staff's opinion that the
proposal is in substantial compliance with applicable ordinances
and plans. The project fulfills the goals of the city's comprehen-
sive plan and the L/H/N redevelopment plan. The proposal will be
compatible with surrounding structures and will have minimal impact
on surrounding residential neighborhoods. Traffic generated by
the proposal can be handled adequately by the planned improvements
on Lyndale Avenue. Therefore, it is recommended that the city
council approve the PUD plan with the following stipulations:
A. That all site lighting, landscaping, and signing
conform to city standards;
B. That the 16 foot parking lot island north of the new
addition be recluced to 6 feet to provide smoother
traffic flow;
C. That a turn-a-round be provided on Aldrich Avenue
where it deadends at the Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable
Market, Inc. property.
D. That the exterior of the print shop be renovated to
match the other buildings on the site;
E. That the parking area be redesigned so that it will
not be within the ordinary high water site.
0 2. Rezoning Ordinance - It is recommended that the city
council approve the rezoning ordinance on second reading.
Council Letter No. 32 -6-
January 14, 1980
3. Preliminary Plat - It is recommended that the city
council approve the preliminary plat with the following change:
A. A 5 foot wide utility easement for Northwestern Bell
be shown across the property.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The planning commission recommends that the PUD plan be
approved with the following stipulations:
A. That all site lighting, landscaping and signing conform
to city standards;
B. That all DNR, watershed district, and city lakeshore
issues be resolved;
C. That the 16 foot parking lot island north of the new
addition be reduced to 6 feet to provide smoother
traffic flow;
D. That a plan be developed acceptable to staff to provide
a turn-a-round on Aldrich Avenue where it deadends at
the Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable property.
2. The planning commission recommends that the preliminary
plat be approved with the following change:
A. A 5 foot wide utility easement for Northwestern Bell be
shown across the property.
3.' The planning commission also found that the proposed land
acquisitions would be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan
and the L/H/N redevelopment plan.
It should be noted that a plan change has occurred since the
planning commission considered this matter. The plan they consid-
ered called for the removal of the print shop and the developer
is now proposing to keep the building and use it for storage. Also
another plan change may occur. The existing house which was to be
relocated on the site may be relocated to a vacant lot adjacent
to the site. If the city council feels that these are major
changes which should be considered by the planning commission, they,
can refer the PUD plan back to the planning commission for further
consideration. It is the staff's opinion that these changes will
not have detrimental impact on the project or the surrounding area
and, therefore, that the-re is no need to refer the PUD plan back
to the planning commission.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 31
Agenda January 14,1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Approval of Agreement with Hennepin County
for Community Health Services
There is an item on the January 14,1980 city council agenda
providing for council approval of an agreement with Hennepin
County related to Community Health Services.
Richfield receives funding through the Minnesota Community
Health Services Act as part of a direct share community within
the Hennepin County community health services allocation. Rich-
field should receive $82,915 in 1980 through CHS funding, and
• $85,716 in 1981. The allocation of these monies for various
environmental and personal health services has previously been
approved by the city council in the 1980/81 Richfield Community
Health Services Plan, that was approved by the city council in
August, 1979. The attached agreement provides for the city to
receive the describe CHS funding allocation from Hennepin County,
in accordance with the prescribed reporting and accounting pro-
cedures. This agreement is virtually identical with agreements
of previous years between the county and the City of Richfield
for CHS services.
It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution, approving the agreement and authorizing the City
Manager and Mayor to execute this agreement.
Respectfully submitted,
Karl Nollenberger
City Manager

hereinafter set forth herein, the County and the Municipality agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT
The term of this Agreement shall be from January I, 1980, through
December 31, 1981. This Agreement shall include the period July I,
1981, through December 31, 1981, only if the Community Health
• Services Act is continued, fully funded by the State of Minnesota for
the 1982-83 biennium and the County receives the full amount of
subsidy funds requested in the approved 1980-81 Hennepin County
Community Health Services Subsidy Plan. If such funds are not
available to allow for funding during the period July I, 1981, through
December 31, 1981, this Agreement shall be cancelled upon written
notice from the County; such cancellation to be effective as of July I,
1981.
2. CONDITIONS OF COUNTY SUPPORT
a. The County agrees to make payments to the Municipality in
reimbursement for the provision of Community Health Services as
described in the 1980-81 Community Health Services Subsidy Plan,
hereinafter referred to as Plan, written pursuant to Minnesota
Laws 1976, Chapter 9, a copy of which is on file at the Hennepin
County Community Health Department, 4th Floor, 501 Park
Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Plan is incorporated
into and made a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth
herein.
b. The total 1980 cash payments to the Municipality for Community
Health Services shall not exceed $82,915, and total 1981 payments
shall not exceed $85,716.
r?
C. These payments to the Municipality will be made in eight (8)
installments to be paid on or about March 30, 1980; June 30, 1980;
• September 30, 1980; December 31, 1980; March 30, 1981; June 30,
1981; September 30, 1981; and December 31, 1981. Payments

claims against the County.
3. CONDITIONS OF THE PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS
a. It is understood and agreed that the Agreement between the
parties is conditional upon the County receiving sufficient funding
from the State of Minnesota. If such funding is not available, this
Agreement shall be cancelled immediately upon written notice to
the Municipality, other provisions for cancellation of this
Agreement notwithstanding. This Agreement may be renegotiated
to reflect any reduced funding.
b. This Agreement or any part thereof may be cancelled by either
party upon thirty (30) days written notice delivered by mail or in
person if by State law, regulation or policy the relationship
between the County and the Municipality as it concerns the
expenditure of State funds for the purpose of providing the
services as described in the Plan is modified as to render the
obligations under this contract materially changed.
C. The Municipality agrees to make expenditures of Community
• Health Services funds provided through County payments within
Minnesota Department of Health rules and policies relating to
Community Health Services, including Minnesota Department of
Health Rules 451 to 460, Policies Relating to Community Health
Services, Assurances and Agreements contained in the Plan and
policies contained in the Minnesota Department of Health Fiscal
Management Report for Community Health Services Boards, June,
1978.

determine if payments to subcontractors anticipated in the budget
contained in the Plan duplicate payments by the County directly
to those subcontractors pursuant to any other agreements between
the County and such subcontractors, and shall endeavor to use all
information available to prevent any such duplicate payment to a
subcontractor.
e. Any alterations, variations, modifications or waivers of provisions
of this Agreement shall be valid only when they have been reduced
to writing, duly signed and attached to the original of this
Agreement.
f. Upon cancellation or termination of this Agreement, the
Municipality will reimburse to the County any and all unobligated
funds as required by the Minnesota Department of Health. This
reimbursement shall be made within sixty (60) days of the

Council Letter No.30
Agenda January 14,1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Purchase of Services Agreement with
Storefront/Youth Action, Inc.
There is an item on the January 14, 1980 city council
agenda providing for council approval of a purchase of service
agreement with the Storefront/Youth Action, Inc.
The city's adopted 1980 budget appropriates $24,000 for
the Storefront/Youth Action, Inc. This city contribution to the
agency includes support for rent, phone, utilities and printing
services as well as the consulting services detailed in the
agreement. The proposed 1980 purchase of service agreement be-
tween the city and the"Storefront/Youth Action, Inc. is similar to
agreements between the two organizations in previous years. The
major change in this agreement is the provision that the city shall
contribute an additional $3,000 for the agency during 1980 to be
passed through to the Project Charlie volunteer program. This
provision is reflective of the council's action on December 27,
1979 appropriating these monies to Project Charlie. Although the
Storefront has no direct control over direct expenditure of these
funds, use of the agency to pass through these monies to Project
Charlie will help the city in accounting for the Project Charlie
donation.
Steve Lipenski, Executive Director of the Storefront, Youth
Action, Inc., will be present at the January 14, 1980 city council
meeting to make a brief presentation to the council regarding the
agency's proposed 1980 programs. Mr. Lipenski has also requested
that the city waive the administrative monies due it for the last
quarter of 1979 under terms of a grant agreement sponsored by the
city, but administered by the Storefront. His letter making this
request is also attached.
is
' Council Letter No. 30 -2-
January 14, 1980
It is recommended that the city council approve the 1980
purchase of service agreement with the Storefront/Youth Action
Inc., and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute said
agreement. It is also recommended that the council respond to
the agency's request to waive the city's administrative share of
the adolscent victim counsel grant.

Dear Karl:
D C ? ? L ? j
1 DEC 27 1979
.? nr
?1?f C;?y „,
would like to request that Storefront/Youth Action not pay $833 to the City
of Richfield for the fourth quarter indirect costs in the L.E.A.A. grant sponsored
by Richfield. The total amount of indirect costs for the grant are $3,333.
Through the first three quarters $2,500 has been paid to Richfield. As we discussed
when we talked about the 1980 grant application, the actual costs incurred by
Richfield are minimal.
If you were to approve this request the funds would be used to purchase some
carpet, some chairs, and some additional supplies. These items were not able
to be included in the grant for 1980 because of the reduction in L.E.A.A. funds
by Congress.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Steve Lepinski, Executive Director

Council Members:
Council Letter No. 29
Agenda January 14,1980
Subject: Discussion of July 4 Community Celebration
CJ
0
On January 2, 1980, the city council requested that the staff
begin planning for a July 4, 1980, community celebration. The
staff has begun researching information related to fireworks and
parade routes. Information obtained so far on fireworks indicates
that a 20-25 minute display would cost $1,000 - 1,200; a 25-30
minute very good display would cost $1,500 - $2,000. The operator
of Minneapolis' Powderhorn Park's display indicates a cost of about
$3,000. This does not'include any expense for crowd or traffic
control or any other items, but includes only the purchase price
of the materials, an operator, and insurance. While there is a
wide range of expenditures for fireworks displays, information
regarding other area displays indicates a cost at Blaine, MN and
Hudson, Wisconsin of about $2,500; at Winona $2,800; and for the
Met Stadium display for the Twins and Kicks, a cost of approximately
$5,000. The staff was also requested to suggest various organiza-
tions that might be represented on a citizen committee assigned
to plan the celebration.
The city has promoted two July 4th celebrations in 1974 and
1976. Neither event was very successful from the viewpoints of the
groups involved or the city staff included. Perhaps the city should
consider a date other than July 4 for a community celebration, or
at least learn from past problems with this event. With the
4th of July on a Friday again this year, use of the three day week-
end to camp or trav-1 will be prevalent. Many other communities
and organizations already have events planned for that time of
year, and many of the bands and marching units may have made
commitments. for July 4, 1980. In very close proximity to Richfield,
;i.e.. Met Stadium, Powderhorn Park, Lake Harriet) there are already
fireworks displays on July 4. It is the recommendation of the staff
that the city council give consideration to the alternatives of a
July 4 celebration or a city-wide festival on another date. Either
one could be scheduled to include a number of events, in addition
I
r?
Council Letter No. 29 -2-
January 1 4 , 1930
to the fireworks and parade already mentioned, as well as possibly
the grand opening of the golf course. This matter could be dis-
cussed with the committee members appointed by the city council.
Staff recommendations for appointment to the committee might
include representation from the following organizations:
Chamber of Commerce
Park and Recreation Advisory Comm.
Senior/Handicapped Citizens Comm.
Human Rights Commission
VFW and American Legion
Little League, square dance, and other special
interest groups
Richfield Churches United
Richfield Historical Society
Richfield School District
Richfield Jaycees and other similar
organizations
Scouting organizations
•
Whatever the direction given to staff by the city council or
the recommendation of the council appointed committee, it is impor-
tant that organization for a community celebration begin immediate-
ly. It will take time, coordination and cooperation to provide a
festival for renewed spirit of community within the City of Rich-
field.

Council Letter No. 28
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Purchase in Excess of $1,000
Chapter Six, Section 6.05 of the city charter stipulates that
the city council must approve the purchase of merchandise, mater-
ials, equipment or construction when the amount exceeds $1,000.
There are two such items on the January 14, 1980 city council
agenda.
Central Garage/Motor Pool Vehicles
• The City of Richfield participates in a joint purchasing or-
ganization with numerous other jurisdictions within Hennepin
County. This organization has advertised for bids for various
various motor equipment, and has accepted the lowest bid by a re-
sponsible bidder, and awarded contracts. Now each individual
municipality included in the joint purchasing agreement must take
action awarding a contract for those pieces of equipment they wish
to purchase.
It is recommended that the city council authorize the pur-
chase of an intermediate station wagon for the low bid of $5,277.54,
submitted by Bloomington Chrysler Plymouth, Bloomington, and a
four door mid-size police sedan for the low bid of $7,347, submitted
by Iten Chevrolet, Brooklyn Park. Funds for the purchase of these
two vehicles are provided in the adopted 1980 central garage bud-
get. These units will replace existing, fully depreciated units
currently used in the public safety department. Disposal of the
existing units will take place through the process of sealed bids
or through the Hennepin County auction in the spring.
In addition, it is recommended that the council authorize
the purchase of a second four-door midsize police sedan from
Iten Chevrolet in the amount of $7,347. This vehicle will replace
a public safety vehicle which was totally damaged in an accident
40
Council Letter No. 28 -2- Agenda January 14, 1980
on December 28, 1979. It is estimated that at least one-half of
the purchase cost will be covered by the city's automobile in-
surance, with the remaining coming from the 1980 central garage
budget.
Data Processing Disc Packs
In order to implement disc to disc backup for file mainten-
ance, it is necessary to order three additional disc packs.
Quotations have been received from Data Documents (3-M disc packs)
at a unit price of $425, and Control Data Corp (CDC) at a unit
price of $503.
It is recommended that we purchase the disc packs from Con-
trol Data Corporation for the following reason: Two 3-M disc
packs were purchased in 1978 for the initial computer installation,
although it was necessary to replace both of these packs because
of vibration problems. Then in December, 1979, one of the replace-
ment 3-M packs failed gain, resulting in temporary loss of one
entire weeks' data. The pack was replaced. However, because the
warranty on 3-M disc packs is only one year, the city has been charged
for the cost to refurbish the failed pack.
Control Data disc packs have a lifetime warranty against fail-
ure for any reason except damage caused by mishandling by the oper-
ator such as dropping it. One reason for this is the fact that
• the disc drive is also manufactured by Control Data Corporation.
Because of the severe information distortion and loss situation
that can occur when a disc pack fails, and the city's recurrent
problems with failure of the 3-M disc packs, I believe it is wise
to purchase this item with the lifetime guarantee from CDC. There-
fore, it is recommended that the city council approve a purchase
in the amount of $1,509, for three disc packs from Control Data
Corporation.

Council Letter No. 26
Agenda January 14, 1980
Subject: Renewal of Interceptor Sewer Maintenance
Agreement with the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission
This agenda item provides for renewal of an agreement with
the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to reimburse the City
of Richfield for maintenance costs on interceptor sewers owned
by the commission.
The interceptor sewers throughout the City of Richfield are
the property of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. How-
ever, the most efficient and economical means of insuring proper
• maintenance of the sewers is for the city to provide the mainten-
ance and be reimbursed by the Waste Control Commission. All
communities within the seven county area served by the Waste Con-
trol Commission use this same arrangement.
The attached Statement-of Agreement Renewal provides for a
one-year extension of our existing agreement under the same terms
and conditions as the existing agreement. The basic agreement
provides that all city costs will be reimbursed and that if the
estimated reimbursement is not adequate, an additional adjustment
is made on an annual basis. The actual cost in 1978, reimbursed
under the terms of this agreement, was $1285. Costs for 1979
through October are similar.
This agreement has been reviewed by the city staff and it is
recommended that the Mayor and City Manager be authorized to ex-
ecute the agreement on behalf of the city.

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT RENEWAL
•
U
INTERCEPTOR MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT NO. 131
The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and the City of
Richfield agree to renew the Interceptor Maintenance Agreement
No. 131 which is currently inforce between these parties. The
terms of the Agreement for the renewal period shall be the same
as those contained in the Agreement which was executed for the
January 1, 1979 December 31, 1979 period with the exception
of Section 6.02:
"Section 6.02 Cost Estimates; Payments." The parties estimate
that the total amount of costs which the Commission will be
required to pay to the Municipality for performance of this
Agreement in 1980 will be $2,100.00. Such amount shall
be paid in twelve monthly installments as an advance payment
of such costs. On or before March 1, 19817 the Municipality
will submit to the Commission a detailed statement of the
actual costs incurred by the Municipality which the board
is required to pay in accordance with Section 6.01, and
will remit to the Commission any amount paid to the Municipality
which is in excess of such actual costs. If the total of
the monthly advances paid by the board is less than the
actual amount of such costs, the Commission shall pay to
the Municipality on or before April 1, 1981 an amount equal
to the difference between the actual costs and the monthly
advances previously paid. The Municipality shall keep detailed
records supporting all costs of the types specified in Section
6.01 which it expects the Commission to pay, and shall make
the same available to the Commission on request.
The renewal period for Interceptor Maintenance Agreement No. 131 shall
be January 1, 1980 - December 31, 1980. That both parties agree to
the renewal period and terms is evidenced by the signatures affixed
to this statement.

Council Members:
Subject: Agreement with City of Minneapolis for
Participation in Urban Corp Intern Program
0
F- --gel
L_Ak?
For several years, the City of Richfield has cooperated with
the Urban Corp to place area college students in internship posi-
tions with the city. This arrangement has been quite beneficial
to us, since it has enabled the city to hire additional part time
employees at every little cost, to either undertake short term
studies or projects, or to supplement our full time work force in
performing some of the city's on-going services. Foy instance,
Urban Corp interns havC done much of the work on the citizen's
feedback program.
The Urban Corp program is administered by the City of Minne-
apolis. In order for Richfield to continue participating in this
program, it is necessary to execute an agreement with the City of
Minneapolis, a copy of which is attached. This agreement does not
commit the City of Richfield to hire Urban Corp interns, but it
does provide that we can hire interns through the Urban Corp program
if we choose. The cost to the city ranges from $1.15 to $1.65 per
hour, depending upon on time worked and educational level of the
intern.
The attached agreement covers the time period from January
1, 1980 through June 30, 1980. The Urban Corp will prepare a
similar agreement to be implemented on July 1, 1980, which will
be effective until June 30, 1981. The duration of the agreement
is being amended to allow the Urban Corp to correspond with the
fiscal year of the federal, state, and private programs from which
these students receive funding through the Urban Corp office, which
does not affect the city's participation in this program at all.
It is recommended that the city council authorize execution
of the attached agreement with the City of Minneapolis.

City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Tabulations of Bids, Award of Contracts, Water
Treatment Plant Chemicals
On January 8, 1980, bids for chemicals used at the water treat-
ment plant were opened by the Director of Administrative Services,
in accordance with previous council authorization. The acting city
clerk, director of community services, acting planning director,
water superintendent and representatives of various bidding firms
were also present at the bid opening. The bid minutes and tabula-
tions are attached for city council review.
• Quick Lime
The only bid submitted for quick lime, a water softening
chemical, was by Cutler-Magner in the amount of $63.08 per ton.
The estimated total expenditure for the 140 tons of this chemical
used per year will be $88,312. The 1979 cost for quick lime was
$60.40 per ton, or 4.4% less than the 1980 cost.
Liquid Aluminum Sulfate
The only bid submitted for liquid aluminum sulfate, a water
softening chemical, was by Hawkins Chemical in the amount of $101
per ton. The estimated total 1980 expenditure will be $10,100,
based on 100 tons usage during this year. 1979 cost was $91.40
per ton, or 10.50 less than the 1980 cost.
Liquid Anhydrous Ammonia
Three bids were submitted for liquid anhydrous ammonia, a water
softening chemical. The lowest bid by a responsible bidder was
$.30 per pound, submitted by Jones Chemical, compared to $.23 per
pound in 1979. The estimated total 1980 expenditure will be $900,
for an increase of 30.4%.
Sodium Silico Flouride
Three bids were submitted for silico flouride. This chemical
is is not easily or effectively stored at our water treatment facilities.
Council Letter No. 23 -2- January 14, 1980
Therefore, orders are placed. for immediate usage. Due to the
quantities to be ordered at one time, the low bidder is Hawkins
Chemical, with a bid of $24.50 per hundred pounds. Based on
1979 usage experience, the estimated total 1980 expenditure will
be $5,145. The city paid $20.15 per hundred pounds for this chemi-
cal in 1979, which is 21.60 less than the 1980 bid.
Sodium Polyphosphate
Three bids were submitted for sodium polyphosphate, a con-
ditioner of water and the sand filter used in the water processing.
The lowest bid by a responsible bidder was $.7477 per pound, sub-
mitted by Nalco Chemical. Estimated expenditure for total 1980
usage will be $8,972.40. This chemical was not bid in 1979.
Funds for these purchases are included in the 1980 operating
budget of the water treatment plant. In summary, it is recommended
that the city council take the following actions:
1. Accept the bid minutes and tabulations on the water
treatment chemicals.
2. Accept the bid for
amount of $101 per

a Council Letter No. 22
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Status of Issues Related to the Appointment of
Additional Firefighters
The 1980 budget appropriation for the Department of Public
Safety provides for the appointment of three additional firefighters
raising the authorized compliment of the Fire Division to twenty-
five people. At the time of the appropriation the city council in-
cluded the stipulation that the appointments were not to be made
until such time as action had been accomplished to place the new
firefighters in the Police and Fire Fund of the Public Employees
Retirement Association. The budget appropriation itself for these
three additional firefighters was based on the premise that one
would be appointed approximately February 1, 1980, the second would
be appointed approximately April 1, 1980, and the third would be
• appointed on approximately June 1, 1980. This schedule reduced the
financial need in 1980 as well as allowing for the assimilation of
the new manpower in an orderly manner.
At the January 2, 1980 city council meeting, there was a dis-
cussion related to these appointments. As a result of that discus-
sion the council asked that the staff research two basic issues.
The first of these issues related to the potential of making appoint-
ments on some provisional basis prior to determining the final pen-
sion plan into which these new employees would be placed. The second
question raised by the council related to the cost differential to
appoint all three firefighters simultaneously rather than on the
staggered basis which was originally proposed in the 1980 budget.
The staff has reviewed the issue related to the provisional
appointment of new firefighters prior to their placement in a per-
manent pension plan. The city attorney has examined the language
of the current private pension plan provided through our Fire Re-
lief Association. The special legislation establishing that plan
has language which specifically requires the enrollment of all
firefighters, exclusive of those over 35 years of age, in the local
plan. On the other hand, the language in the statutory provisions
of the Police and Fire Fund of the Public Employees Retirement As-
sociation prohibits the enrollment of our new firefighters in that
plan until the effective date of our recent ordinance relating to
police and fire pensions on April 1, 1980. Therefore, any fire-
fighters appointed prior to April 1, 1980 would be required to become
members of the existing Fire Relief Association plan.
Council Letter No. 22 -2-
January 14, 1980
Perhaps the most critical issue with regard to the enrollment
• of new firefighters into a permanent pension plan at their date of
employment relates to the fact that the pension plan provides the
major disability benefit to these employees. Because of the very
high risk involved in the firefighters job, it is extremely impor-
tant that there be no question about their disability coverage at
the time they actually start on the job.
The staff has also examined the issues raised by the council
relative to cost alternatives based upon appointment dates. Because
of the major impact of potential pension plans on the total city
cost to support a firefighter an accurate cost comparision is some-
what difficult. However, one way of looking at this issue might be
to first exclude pension costs from the comparison. On this basis,
the cost (salary and related insurance benefits exclusive of pension
costs), of the appointment of the three fire7`ighters on the staggered
basis as anticipated in the 1980 budget would be $43,065 for 1980.
On this same basis, if all three firefighters were to be appointed
simultaneously on February 1, 1980, the total cost for the year would
$52,635. Therefore, the total additional salary and related in-
surance benefit cost, exclusive of pension costs, to the city for an
earlier appointment of a?`eh ers than that originally anticipated
would be approximately $:9;570.
In addition to this salary and insurance benefit cost, the cost
differential of the PERA pension plan as compared to the local Fire
• Relief Association plan must also be considered. It is this compar-
ison which is somewhat difficult to make since the cost of the local
plan fluctuates from year to year based upon the actuarial evaluation
of the plan. As the council may recall, much of the fluctuation in
the cost of the local plan is attributed to the varying annual im-
pact of the escalator provision of the plan. One comparison which
might be made, even though it would not accurately reflect the actual
situation on an ongoing basis, would be to look at the present exist-
ing status of the local plan in comparison to PERA. The city cost
of participation in PERA is a straight 12% of the total salary of
the employee. This 12% cost figure for PERA is comparible to the
normal cost as a percent of payroll figure which is calculated as
a part of the actuarial study of the local pension plan. For 1979
this normal cost percentage in the Fire Relief Association is 26.86%,
of which 6.00% is contributed by the employee. Therefore, the nor-
mal city cost as a percentage of payroll would be approximately 21%
compared to the 12% cost of PERA. If these two rates were applied
to the three additional firefighter positions the cost of enrollment
in our local plan would be $375 per month higher than enrollment in
PERA, or a total of $4,125 higher for the balance of the current
year. Since the commitment to the local relief association versus
PERA is a long term commitment, the costs of this differential for
at least 20 years must be considered. On a non-inflated basis, this
amounts to $90,000 on the three firefighters indicated above.
The problem with this comparative approach is that the cost dif-
ferential calculated on this basis is far more conservative in theory
than fact. The normal cost as a percent of payroll figure for our
Council Letter No. -3- January 14, 1980
local plan does not include the city's cost for amortizing the past
unfunded liability of the plan. In theory, the normal cost figures
used for this calculation for purposes of illustration should fund
the potential pension liability of the new firefighters added to
the plan. However, in fact this would not be the case because the
escalator provision, and some of the actuarial assumptions upon which
the unfunded deficit is being amortized, increase the deficit beyond
the provisions under which a normal cost figure can fund the plan.
For instance, at the present time based on the current Fire Division
payroll the interest on the unfunded liability amounts to 30.09%.
This amount added to the 21% normal cost as a percentage of payroll
creates a total city cost for the existing plan of approximately 51%.
It would not be accurate to compare the 51% cost of the city plan
to the 12% cost of PERA since the city is responsible for the exist-
ing unfunded liability regardless of any future change in pension
plans, but it does emphasize the potential cost differential between
these two plans. Contributions for all firefighters including the
three new positions in 1980 must include normal cost and unfunded
liability percentages. Total contributions in 1980 for both normal
cost and unfunded liability to the relief association exceeds PERA
contributions by $22,498. This is the actual budget impact for 1980
but does not reflect long term costs completely.
The actual impact of these considerations means that the addi-
tion of three more members to the existing Fire Relief Association
plan, as opposed to their enrollment in the PERA plan or a plan of
• comparable cost, will result in a significantly higher cost for the
city. When one considers that this cost must be borne over the mini-
mum twenty-year enrollment period of the employee the increased cost
to the city becomes an even more significant factor with which to
be concerned.
I hope that this addresses some of the issues behind the ques-
tions the council has raised and can provide a basis for discussion
at your meeting scheduled for January 14, 1980.

Council Letter No. 20
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Council Member and Mayor Salary Ordinance
Mayor Priebe has requested that there be an item scheduled
on the January 14, 1980 city council agenda providing for council
discussion of the ordinance establishing salaries for the Mayor
and City Council members.
A change in the salary of the mayor or council members, or
both, can be made effective 30 days after publication of.the ordin-
ance, under Section 2.07 of the city charter, by a 4/5 vote of
the council in favor of the ordinance. Any change in the mayor's
or council member's salaries can be made effective after the next
succeeding municipal election with a simple majority vote of the
council, under provisions of Minnesota State Law.
The city attorney has prepared several alternative salary or-
dinances which are attached to this city council letter. The first
of these ordinances reduces the salary of both the mayor and council
members under authorization of the city charter, and would be
effective 30 days after its adoption and publication. This ordin-
ance would require a 4/5 vote of the council in favor of the or-
dinance in order to be implemented.
The second attached ordinance amendment is the same as the
first, except that salaries of council members other than the
mayor, are not reduced, while the salary of the mayor is reduced.
This ordinance would also become effective 30 days after publica-
tion and would require a 4/5 vote in favor of the ordinance.
The third alternative is an ordinance which reduces the
salaries of both the mayor and council members, would require
only a majority vote of the council, and would not be effective
until after the 1980 general municipal election. The fourth alter-
native ordinance is the same as the third, except that the salaries
of council members other than the mayor are not reduced.
9
Council Letter No. 20 -2- January 14, 1980
Essentially, the alternative ordinances provide for a choice
of reducing all council member salaries from their current level
to a lower level, or for reducing only the salary of the mayor,
while retaining the existing council member salary. The other
major difference in the alternatives relates to the implementation
date. As noted, the implementation date is determined by the
number of council members voting for the ordinance, with a major-
ity vote implementing the ordinance after the next municipal
election, and a 4/5 council member vote enabling implementation
of the salary ordinance immediately upon publication, in accord-
ance with existing city charter requirements relating to amend-
ment of the city code.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Recommendation for Denial of Taxicab
Drivers License
The city has received an application for a taxicab drivers
license from a David Gary Nerud. The background investigation
conducted by the public safety department with regard to this
license reveals that the applicant has been convicted six times
during the past year for driving violations. Two of these con-
victions involved alcohol related offenses.
The public safety department policy used as a standard in
recommending approval of applications for taxicab drivers licenses
requires a minimum of one-year driving experience which is free
from traffic violation convictions. It is the opinion of the
public safety department that this applicant's record of traffic
violation convictions relates. directly to the license he is seek-
ing. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the public safety
director, in which I concur, that Mr. Nerud's request for a Rich-
field taxicab drivers license be denied.

Council Members:
Subject: Approval of Preliminary Plans and Author-
ization to Prepare Final Plans and Specifi-
cations, Adams Hill Park Improvements
In early 1978, the city council approved a plan for use of
Community Development Block Grant funds which the city anticipated
receiving from August, 1978 through July, 1981 (funding years IV,
V, VI). That plan designated $350,000 for the development of
Adams Hill Park. The Department of Housing and Urban Development
has subsequently approved this allocation. In the meantime, the
city council authorized the staff to submit a preliminary applica-
tion for federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act (LAWCON)
funding and State Natural Resource Fund funding. The Adams Hill
redevelopment project received a very high ranking for this fund-
ing, based on the preliminary application, although it is not yet
known what the exact amount of funding available through these
two sources may be. The Adams Hill Park development project is
quite unique with the site topography and special storm water hold-
ing pond problems, but the three sources of funding are quite
specific about eligible activities to be funded in the project.
On October 9, 1979, the city council approved an agreement
with James Robin and Richard Schwarz to provide architectural
and planning services for building and site improvements at Adams
Hill Park. Following this council action, the staff sent letters
to all residents in the area bounded by 70th Street on the north,
Penn Avenue on the east, 76th Street on the south, and Xerxes
Avenue on the west. In addition, letters were posted in the various
housing developments in the Yorktown area. This extensive notifi-
cation was necessary because the Community Development Block Grant
funding eligibility is based on the low and moderate income of
the park service area of the park. These approximately 565 letters
invited the park neighbors to attend a meeting on November 7, 1979,
to begin discussing the Adams Hill Park major redevelopment pro-
ject. A second neighborhood meeting was held November 28, 1979.
The staff and architects also met with elementary and middle school
•
•

children at Lincoln Hills School and West Middle School to inform
them of the planning process and to collect their ideas and
suggestions for facilities to be included in the park redevelop-
ment project.
A third meeting with the Adams Hill Park neighbors was held
on December 11, 1979, to review the preliminary plans which had
been developed, based on the citizen input received at the earlier
meetings. That meeting was also attended by the park and recrea-
tion advisory commission membership.
Richard Schwarz and James Robin participated in all the
neighborhood meetings as well as the regular December 11, 1979 meet-
ing of the park and recreation advisory commission. The park neigh-
bors indicated basic agreement with, and no basic objections to,
the preliminary site and building plans, as presented. The Park
and Recreation Advisory Commission recommended approval of the pre-
liminary plans.
A copy of the proposed preliminary site and building plans
are attached for council review. In addition, the community services
director, and the architect and the site planner will be present
at the January 14, 1980 city council meeting to present these plans.
Following the presentation, it is recommended that the city
council adopt the attached resolution which provides for the follow-

Council Members:
Subject: Discussion of Ordinance Amendment
Regarding Manager of Licensed
Liquor Establishments
At the December 27, 1979 city council meeting, the city
council requested the city attorney to develop an ordinance
amendment for council consideration which would require periodic
certification of the residence of the manager of a licensed on-
sale liquor establishment. The city code requires that the
manager of such licensed liquor establishment be a Richfield
• resident, and also requires that the licensed liquor establish-
ment notify the city in the event of a change in the manager
of their establishment. However, because managers have some-
times changed and the city has not been advised of the change
in manager, or the change in residence of a manager, the city
attorney has drafted the attached ordinance amendment to
address.the council's concern with regard to this problem. This
ordinance amendment provides that on April 1, July 1, and October
1, the licensee must file with the city a sworn statement con-
firming that the manager, managing partner, or licensee named in
their original license application does act in that capacity and
does reside in the City of Richfield.
Subsequent to the last council meeting, the Wine Ordinance
Committee has met in conjunction with the study of a wine ordin-
ance. The committee discussed a residency requirement as it
pertains to a wine ordinance and decided against such a provision.
At the same time, they have recommended that the city council
eliminate the residency requirement in the liquor ordinance. They
felt that this requirement was non-productive and unnecessary in
light of recent history with the liquor ordinance. If the city
council desires to accept their recommendation, an ordinance
will be available for your consideration in lieu of the above
discussed ordinance.

Council Members:
Subject: Request for Special Use Permit, Poppin
Fresh Pies, Inc. 3000 W. 66th Street
Mr. Victor L. Weber, representing Poppin Fresh Pies, Inc.
3000 West 66th Street, has requested a special use permit to
allow the construction of an 11 foot by 28 foot addition to the
existing restaurant building, located at that address. The
proposed addition will house a walk-in cooler/freezer. The site
is in a district zoned C-2, general commercial.
The following

items are attached to this council letter:
Letter from applicant
Petition and map
Zoning map
Land use map
Site plan map
Section 3.33, subdivision 4 of the zoning ordinance estab-
lishes regulations with which hotels, motels, restaurants and
cafes must comply. Section 3.33, subdivision 2, paragraph 4 of
the zoning ordinance establishes uses allowed by special use per-
mits in C-1 general commercial districts.
Staff Findings
Although the existing restaurant has a special use permit,
a new special use permit is necessary because the structure is
proposed to '_)e expanded beyond what was originally approved. The
staff has reviewed the request for special use permit and found
that there will be no loss of existing parking spaces, that the
proposed addition is of similar construction materials and design
so that it will not detract from the appearance of the existing
building, and the proposal is in general compliance with city
ordinances and regulations relating to the issuance of special
use permits for hotels, motels, restaurants and cafes.
Although the width of the traffic lane directly north of
the existing structure will be reduced from 21.3 feet to 10.7
Council Letter No. 15 -2- January 14, 1980
• feet, adequate space will still exist for fire protection access.
The proposal is in compliance with the City of Richfield's compre-
hensive development plan.
Staff Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the staff that this request for
a special use permit be granted, with the following stipulations:
1. That refrigerator condenser noise does not exceed
state standards;
2. That the traffic lane adjacent to the north of the
building be kept clear of parked vehicles, except
delivery vehicles, so that an adequate fire lane is
maintained.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The planning commission recommends that the city council
approve the special use permit.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT
POPPIN FRESH PIES RESTAURANT
SOUTHDALE SQUARE, RICHFIELD
We wish to make application for a special use permit to allow
the modification of the existing building so that a walk-in
cooler and freezer may be added. This would be achieved by
• adding an approxiTately 11-foot by 28-foot structure to the
rear of the building to house the new walk-in cooler and
freezer. Complete drawings showing this addition are enclosed
for your review.
This additional cooler and freezer space is required to support
the implementation of the breakfast menu at this restaurant.
We trust that we have fully complied with all your require-
ments; but if there are any further questions, we would be
more than happy to answer them.

Subject: Authorization to Submit Grant Application
0
Last year the Public Safety Department applied for and re-
ceived a $5,000 grant to be used in support of the Bicycle Safety
Program. These grant funds are provided by the National Highway
Safety Act and administered by the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety. We have recently learned that there will be limited grant
funding available again this summer for the support of bicycle
safety programs. The maximum available grant award would again
be in the amount of $5,000, which would apply primarily toward
salaries of the part time bicycle safety officers employed by the
public safety departmeiat during the summer months. The remaining
funds would support the cost of educational material used in this
program.
The deadline for submitting grant applications for this
year's bicycle safety program is January 15, 1980. It is
recommended that the city council adopt the attached resolution,
authorizing the city manager to submit an application to the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety for a Bicycle Safety Program
Grant.

WHEREAS, the City of Richfield desires to improve and expand
its bicycle safety efforts, and
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the
Minneapolis Bicycle Safety Committee have funding available to assist
and support local bicycle safety programs, and
WHEREAS, final applications for a bicycle safety program grant are
due to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety by January 15, 1980.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota as follows:
1. That the City of Richfield enter into an agreement with the State
of Minnesota, Department of Education, for the following purpose,
to-wit:
To reimburse the City for monies spent for approved activities
in connection with project grant number 80-03-04 for the pro-
motion of bicycle safety.
2. That the City Manager of the City of Richfield is hereby authorized
and directed to execute and file such application with the State of

Subject: Recommendation for Denial of Taxicab Driver License
The city has received applications for taxicab driver licenses
from a Mr. Michael Edward Bronston and a Mr. Richard Allen Lee.
The background investigation conducted by the public safety de-
partment with regard to these license applications reveals that
both applicants currently have expired Minnesota driver's licenses.
Additionally, Mr. Bronston has been convicted of four traffic re-
lated violations within the past 16 months, three of these viola-
tions occurring during the past year.
' The public safety department policy used as a standard in
recommending approval 'of applications for taxicab driver licenses
requires a minimum of one-year driving experience which is free
from traffic violation convictions. In addition to currently hav-
ing an expired Minnesota drivers license, Mr. Bronston's record
of traffic violation convictions, in the opinion of the public
safety director, relates directly to the license he is seeking.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the public safety director,
in which I concur, that this request for taxicab driver license
be denied.
It is the further recommendation of the public safety director
in which I concur, that Mr. Lee's application for a taxicab driver
license be denied until such time as he corrects the problem with
his currently expired Minnesota dirver's license.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration periodi-
cally provides funding to support state and local traffic safety
enforcement efforts. Recently, funds were allocated to the State
of Minnesota for the replacement of portable breath testing units
used by state and local law enforcement officers in determining
potential blood alcohol rates of traffic violators.
This funding program, which is administered by the State
. Department of Public Safety, would provide two new portable
breath testing units fbr our public safety department. It is the
recommendation of the public safety director, in which I concur,
that the city council authorize execution of an agreement with
the State of Minnesota for receipt of these units. Attached to
this council letter is a resolution authorizing such an agreement.

Council Members:
Subject: Authorization to Execute a Joint Powers
Agreement, Inter-Agency Special Investi-
gation Squad
For some time, our public safety department has been working
on a cooperative basis with other communities to share police
officer resources for certain specialized criminal investigation
activities. Because of the relatively small size of our police
division, it becomes difficult to carry out any on-going under-
cover activities, since most of our officers become known to
those individuals whom we might seek to investigate. Therefore,
0 for the past several years we have been "borrowing" officers from
other communities to work on specialized investigation problems.
As a result of this practice, we have also been involved in "loan-
ing" our officers to other communities for work in similar opera-
tions.
Generally, it has been our belief that this type of inter-agency
cooperation is covered under the terms and conditions of the Police
Mutual Aid Agreement of which the City of Richfield is a part.
However, that agreement is primarily designed to provide a vehicle
for mutual aid during emergency situations and is not specifically
designed to facilitate joint investigative efforts. Therefore,
the major suburban police agencies in Hennepin County are proposing
to join together under the legal framework of the joint powers
agreement to provide for a more effective system to continue these
joint investigative efforts. Any participation in this project
will be totally controlled by the local communities. The use of
Richfield officers for these cooperative investigations will be
limited to the extent of our ability to commit time to a specific
investigation without disrupting the operations of our police
division. Primarily, our participation in these activities will
be on a multi-city basis, dealing with crime problems which in
one way or another directly affect the City of Richfield.
We believe that this proposed joint powers agreement will be
another positive step in inter-city cooperation which will improve
the level of local services available to Richfield residents, with-
I

out a corresponding increase in costs. It is the recommendation
of the public safety director, in which I concur, that the city
council adopt the attached resolution, approving the joint powers
agreement and authorizing execution of this agreement. A copy
of the agreement is included with this council letter.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 10
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor !J
and Q6
Members of the City Council ?g ??
City of Richfield V
Council Members:
Subject: Recommendation for Amendment to City Ordinance
Code, Appendix D License, Permit and Miscell-
aneous Fees Billboard Sign Maintenance
In August, 1977, the city council adopted an amendment to
Appendix D to the Richfield City Ordinance Code, Section 2 (Sub.
34) which establishes the annual maintenance inspection fee for
billboards. This 1977 amendment more than doubled the cost of
the previous annual billboard licensing fee. The amended fee, as
was the case with the previous fee, is based on the square footage
size of the billboard with a present annual charge of 15? per
square foot with a minimum fee of $20. The previous rate had
. been 7? per square foot, with no minimum annual fee.
The principle owner of billboards in our community, and the
party who has been most directly affected by this change, is the
Naegele Corporation. At the time the fees were increased, Naegele
expressed concern regarding the magnitude of the increased fee.
Since that time, they have continued to express concern with the
level of these fees. On December 4, 1979, Naegele requested that
the city council reconsider this particular fee. That request
was considered by the city council on December 10, 1979. As a
result of the council's discussion of this matter at that time,
the city staff was directed to do a thorough cost analysis of the
city expense in this annual maintenance inspection program and to
attempt to come to some mutual understanding with the Naegele
Corporation regarding a realistic annual licensing fee.
The public safety director has had several meetings both with
his staff and with re•Dresentatives of the Naegele Corporation since
December 10. While the city's administrative cost of this licen-
sing program has generally been less than the fee structure ad-
opted in 1977, there has been a rather unique problem in attempt-
ing to manage this licensing program. That problem is based on
the marketing practices of the Naegele Corporation which, during
the course of the year, provides "add-on" features to their bill-
boards. An example of this might be the large pictures of the
advertiser, his clients, or his product which are constructed on
the billboard for a particular display and overextend the frame
of the billboard itself. This practice has increased the square
Council Letter No. 10 -2- January 14, 1980
AI
footage of advertising space and made the monitoring, for annual
licensing purposes, somewhat difficult for the city to perform.
To accurately monitor these "add-on" features for purposes of
calculating the square footage which is allowed by the annual
licensing fee requires actual periodic measuring of the billboards.
Quite simply, this whole practice is neither practical nor partic-
ularly beneficial for either the city or the billboard owner.
Therefore, it is recommended that the annual billboard mainten-
ance license fee be established simply based on a flat per structure
rate, rather than on a square footage basis. The staff recommends
changing the existing fee from 15? per square foot with a minimum
annual fee of $20 to the following rate:
$35 per year per billboard structure up to a maximum of
300 square feet
$60 per year per billboard structure in excess of 300
square feet
It would appear that this fee structure would provide a far
more simplified annual licensing process for the city to administer
and at the same time provide a more equitable and comparable lic-
ensing fee for licensees. If the council approves in concept,
this proposal, it is recommended that the city council give first
reading approval to this ordinance amendment concept. At that
• point, the city attorney's office can develop language of the
specific amendment to the licensing fee schedule prior to pub-
lication and second reading consideration by the council.
Respectfully submitted,

Council Letter No. 9
Agenda January 14, 1980
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subject: Rejection of Bids, Authorization to Rebid
Air Warning Siren Improvement Project
The 1979 budget for the public safety department included an
appropriation of approximately $18,000 for the second phase of
the city's air warning siren improvement project, with 75% of the
appropriation to be reimbursed to the city from federal and state
civil defense funding.
On December 5, 1979, bids for this project were solicited in
conformance with previous city council authorization. Two bids
is were received by the *ity and were opened on December 21, 1979.
Both of these bids substantially exceeded the budget appropriation
for the second phase of the project. Additionally, one of the
bidders has informed the city that s calculation error was made
in the submitted bid proposal, and that the actual bid would be
higher than that which was submitted.
The 1979 project involved the installation of one new siren
and the rehabilitation and relocation of four existing sirens for
the West Richfield area. Because of the problems with the bids
which were received for this portion of the air warning sire im-
provement project, the city attorney has recommended that the two
bids be rejected. The public safety director believes that the
specifications could be changed to defer the rehabilitation and
relocation of two of the existing sirens and expects that this
action would result in bids that would more closely conform to
the budget appropriation.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the public safety dir-
ector, in which I concur, that the council reject the bids which
were received on December 21, 1979 and authorize the city staff
to rebid the project with the proposed modifications to the
specifications.
Respectfully submitted,
