Law Mayor r. 0 M CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 418 Agenda December 27,1979 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Traffic Control Requests The Traffic Control Committee met on Thursday, December 20, 1979 to review several pending traffic control matters. Minutes of the December 20, 1979 Traffic Control Committee meeting are attached for council review. The Traffic Control Committee recommends that the city council authorize the following traffic control changes: 1. Remove the "No Parking" signs on the north side of �.rr °ry 65th Street west of Lyndale Avenue to Graham Avenue. Authorize establishment of a "No Parking 2:00 A.M. - 6:00 A.M." restriction on the north side of 65th Street from Graham Avenue westward around to the east curb line of Rae Drive; 2. Authorize removal of the "No Parking" signs on 73 1/2 Street between Pleasant and Pillsbury Avenues. 3. Establish a No Parking 2:00 A.M. -6:00 A.M." restrict -ion on West Pleasant Avenue between 64th and 65th Streets. Petitioners who have requested these traffic control changes have been notified of the committee's recommendations. At the time the city council established the Traffic Control Committee, the committee was comprised of a representative from the city manager's office, the public works department, and the public safety department. When the committee actually was formed, the specific personnel assigned to serve on this committee were comprised of the administrative assistant to the city manager, the public safety director, the public works director, the police captain, and the technical operations superintendent. The committee subsequently requested participation on this committee by a representative of the planning department as well, and these city staff members have com- prised the Traffic Control Committee in recent years. Given the re- cent organizational changes in the city's administrative structure, Council Letter No. 418 -2- December 27, 1979 I believe it would be appropriate for the city council to review the composition of this Traffic Control Committee, and to authorize restructuring of this committee to more accurately reflect the job responsibilities of certain personnel under the administrative re- organization. It is my recommendation that the Traffic Control Committee personnel be comprised of the city engineer, the associate planner, the police captain, and the technical operations superintend- ent. The administrative services director /assistant city manager should continue to play a liaison role between this committee and the city council in terms of forwarding recommendations for council consideration from the committee. In summary, it is recommended that the city council authorize the Traffic Control Committee recommendations described in this letter, and confirm appointment of the recommended personnel to serve on the Traffic Control Committee. Respectfully submitted, hkar_f Nollenbercj_r City Manager KN /eja cc: Acting Planning Director Community Services D-irector Public Safety Director 0 F TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMITTEE December 20, 1979 The Traffic Control Committee met at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, December 20, 1979 to review several pending traffic control requests. Committee members present included: M. Raaen, R. Richardson, S. Weston, J. Wilde. The committee reviewed the following traffic control requests: 1. Request that "No Parking" signs on the northside of 65th Street between Graham Avenue and Lyndale Avenue be removed: J. Wilde indicated that Council Member Ludeman had requested that the committee review the placement and necessity for the "No Parking" restrictions currently existing on both sides of this portion of 65th Street. R. Richardson indicated that there had been some confusion regarding posting of these signs, and that he was unable to find a specific resolution de- scribing when, or how, the traffic control signs on 65th Street were installed. M. Raaen expressed con -- cern with traffic hazards that could occur if parking were,permitted on the south side of the street, because of the numerous curb cuts and parking lots leading into 65th Street from the south side. J. Wilde indicated that the concerns relating to the current flat parking prohibition appeared to be related to persons using and visiting the apartment building on the north side of the street, and the limited parking around the Richfield Post Office. The committee voted to recommend that the "No Parking" signs on the north side of 65th Street between Lyndale Avenue and Graham Avenue be removed, and that the park- ing restrictions from Graham Avenue to the east curb line of Rae Drive on the north side of 65th Street be changed to provide only for a nighttime parking re- striction. The signs on the north side of 65th Street from the east curb line of Rae Drive to Graham Avenue should read "No Parking 2:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m." The committee voted to recommend no changes in the existing parking control signs on the south side of 65th Street from Rae Drive to Lyndale Avenue, / 2. Request that "No Parking" signs on 73 1/2 Street between Pleasant Avenue and Pillsbury Avenue be removed: J. Wilde indicated that a petition had been received from at.-least four of the six homes facing this portion of 73 1/2 Street requesting that the signs read "No Parking between 8 - 10:30 a.m. Schooldays" be removed. R. Richardson observed that these signs were established as part of the overall high school parking district. M. Raaen observed that this portion of 73 1/2 Street was on the fringes of the parking control district, and that the -2- next block of 73 1/2 Street had parking restrictions. The committee voted to recommend that the parking restrictions be removed. 3. Request for night time parking restrictions on West Pleasant Avenue between 74th and 75th Street. J. Wilde reported that a petition had been received from the owners of the single family dwellings facing on this portion of West Pleasant Avenue requesting a night time parking restriction. She indicated that the petitioners expressed concern with on- street parking which might in- gress and egress of emergency vehicles and effective snow removal plowing. The petitioners expressed concern that residents and visitors of the apartment building located at 6438 Pleasant Avenue were using the street for parking purposes.: M. Raaen reviewed provisions of the off - street parking permit for this building which indicates that the seven unit apartment building has seven off- street parking stalls available.. The committee discussed in general terms the desirability of restricting on- street parking during the night time hours for snow removal purposes, and agreed that the circumstances surrounding the mixed land use between apartment and single family dwellings in this block of a very narrow roadway warranted establishment of overnight parking restrictions. The committee recommends "No Parking 2:00 a.m. -6:00 a.m." restrictions be established in the 64 to 6500 block of West Pleasant Avenue. 4. Request for stop signs at 69th Street and Sheridan Avenue and 67th Street and Russell or Sheridan Avenue: J. Wilde reported that petitions had been received from the neigh- bors of both of these intersections, requesting the in- stallation of stop signs. M. Raaen reminded the committee that the city had authorized a comprehensive traffic engineering sign analysis to be completed by the State of Minnesota for the entire City of Richfield. He indicated that this survey would likely be concluded in January, and recommended that the committee make no recommendation re- garding the placement of additional stop signs anywhere in the community until such time as this comprehensive traffic control analysis is completed and reviewed by the city council. " R. Richardson distributed accident history statistics for these intersections. The committee voted to accept this information and table the requests until completion of the traffic engineering sign analysis. The committee chairman was directed to notify the petitioners of the committee's action. Respectfully submitted, Joyce L.

C TV-CTS? -Fc CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 417 Agenda December 27, 1979 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Proposed Ordinance Amendment Relating to Adjustment in Water Utility User Rates, Second Reading. On December 10, 1979 the city council gave first reading approv- al to an ordinance amendment adjusting the water utility user rates. A copy of the background report prepared on this matter is attach- ed to this council letter. The recommended adjustments in the water utility user rates are necessitated by higher water treatment operating costs, increasing capital investment requirements relating to the age of the water utility operation, and a decreasing fund balance in the water util- ity water account. The proposed water utility rate adjustments are designed to place the water utility fund in a position to meet projected 1980 operating costs on a break -even condition. The attached amendment to the rate ordinance provides for the following changes: 1. Increase the basic rate from 58� per 1,000 gallons to 74� per 1,000 gallons; 2. Institute a minimum quarterly water fee in the amount of $7.40 which will cover the cost of 10,000 gallons or less, water consumed during that quarter; 3. Authorize a customer service fee to cover costs of billing and collection; 4. Authorize a certification charge to prepare for certif- ication to taxes of delinquent accounts; 5. Authorize the city council to, by resolution, establish specific charges for special services rendered to water system users. During the council's discussion of the proposed rate adjustment Council Letter No. 417 -2- December 27, 1979 on December 10, 1979, several questions were raised regarding the impact of the proposed ordinance change. One question related to the number of delinquent bills that were certified to taxes. As of November 15, 1979, 527 accounts equalling $26,145 were de- .linquent. In 1978, 356 water bills were certified to taxes, in the total amount of $15,180. In 1977, there were 336 water bills certified to taxes, representing $15,832 in delinquent charges. The certification charge of $10,00 was first established in 1979 to cover the city's cost of certifying delinquent sewer bills. Most delinquent sewer bills include delinquent water charges, and most delinquent water bills include delinquent sewer charges. For this reason, the proposed ordinance amendment provides that the revenues collected from the $10..00 certification charge be allocated equally between the water and sewer fund, when both de- linquent water and sewer charges are certified to taxes. The customer service charge was also established in 1979, to cover the city's cost of utility billing. Historically, the City of Richfield has charged the personnel costs for all utility bill- ing to the sewer fund, and the $1.50 customer fee was established to cover the city's cost for that billing. However, most sewer bills include a water bill, and it appears that the revenues gener- ated by that customer service fee should be allocated fairly between the sewer and water funds.. The proposed ordinance amendment would accomplish that. The customer service fee during 1979 is expected • to have generated approximately $46,635 for the sewer fund. The billing costs between the sewer and water funds are approximately equal, meaning that allocation of the customer service revenues based on actual billing costs would provide nearly $23,000 to the water utility, and reduce sewer fund revenues by a similar amount, on an annual basis. However, as already noted, the sewer fund has historically borne the entire cost for billing, and it is proposed that the billing cost as well as the billing revenues be split equally between the sewer and water funds. This means that, although the sewer fund will lose approximately $23,000 in 1980 by allocating a portion of the customer's service revenues to the water fund, the sewer fund costs for billing will be reduced by about the same amount. The ordinance which was before the city council for first read- ing provided in Section 5, subdivision 8 that the city may estab- lish a charge for final meter readings. During discussions of this matter, the staff suggested that the council may wish to amend that provision of the ordinance to permit establishment of otfier spec- ial charges for special services rendered to a water customer,other than the final meter reading service. Attached to this letter is alternate language for subdivision 3 which would authorize the city to charge for any special service. A full schedule of spec- ial services, and the city's costs for these services, will be provided to the city council at the January 14, 1980 city council meeting, so that the council may consider what sort of charges they may wish to establish for specific special services rendered to water utility customers. 0 0 Council Letter No. 417 -3- December 27, 1979 Finally, the city council indicated an interest in providing for some way to enable senior citizens who need financial assist- ance to receive water service at a reduced rate. The staff has reviewed various city and HRA programs which have income limitations, in an attempt to identify some equitable means of establishing a reduced rate for elderly, low income persons. It is the recommendation of the staff that,if the city council wishes to establish such a system, the criteria apply to persons of age 62 or older, with an annual adjusted income of $5,000 or less. This income limitation is that used in some of the HRA's low income housing rehabilitation assistance programs, and appears to be the most easily calculated income based criteria- Many of the other HRA and income assistance programs have complicated sliding fee schedules which could create a major administrative burden to the staff if we were to attempt to determine eligibility for reduced water rates based on those criteria.. If the city council wishes to establish such a program for elderly low income persons, it is recommended that the rate schedule provide for waiver of the min- imum quarterly rate, and payment only for the actual water used, at the 74� per 1,000 gallons, to persons applying for, and meeting the age and income criteria. In summary, it is recommended reading approval to the attached sertifln of the alternate section council establish the specific c implement a reduced rate program customers. KN /eja that the city council give second ordinance amendment with the in- subdivision 8, and that the city riteria to be used if they wish to for low income elderly water Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberg r City Manager cc: Community Services Director Finance Coordinator OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No.. 396 :Agenda December 10, 1979 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield - Council Members: Subject: Proposed Ordinance Amendment Relating to r Adjustment in Water Utility User Rates ,gat First Reading 3 ,2 Earlier this year, the city council was advised that it would ,probably be be necessary to consider an increase in the water util ity rate, to be implemented in 1980. The purpose of this council letter is ' to propose such an adjustment in the water utility user tes. The adjustment in the water rate' -is necessary primarily ° wµs, to enable the city to meet increasing costs of operating the •i _ 'water utility and to be able to adequately fund the water util- �. ity. The proposed adjustment would increase the average quarter - 1 ly water user fees for a Richfield residential property from 3§ ,� $5.80 to $7.40;. Even with the proposed increase in water rates, <, Richfield's charges for water service will be approximately com- parable to rates charged�by other water utilities in our area el a 7 which treat water in a way similar to the way Richfield treats z,k E;its w Ater. The "procedure for changing the water utility user rates i.n- r N volves amending the rate ordinance, a copy of which is attached. M, A° It is proposed that the water utility user rate adjustment be- �_ T come effective April 1, 1980. This would mean that all customers �,;x;:u purchasing water in 1980 from the City of Richfield will pay for j x that water at the increased rates, 'since there is a three month .delay in billing after water is used and water used beginning #rig 5 in January will not be billed until after April 1, 1980. VF History of Water Utility User Rate Adjustments a The city council adopted Richfield's first water utility `user rates in January, 1964, when the municipal water utility °� began operating. Those rates were in effect for approximately 10 1/2 years; until August, 1974, when the city council amended :the water utility rate structure. • When the water utility was established in 1.964, the user `x rates provided for a $.45 per 1, 000 gallon basic rate. The ��,;a UN December 10, 1979 rate structure at that time also established a water availability charge for all properties, a minimum water user fee (per quarter) and a quantity water discount. The rate adjustment implemented in 1974 increased the basic rate for water usage to $.58 per 1,000 gallons. That rate structure eliminated the water availability charge for those prop erties'connected to the city system, but continued the charge for those properties not yet connected, on the basis that the non -. ` connected properties are, in effect, paying for the availability for water for,fire protection services and for the ability to immed- iately connect to the municipal water system should their private source of water fail. That rate adjustment finally established that th f d • e minimum ees an quantities discounts be eliminated so that all users were paying equitably for the amount of water used. When the water department and treatment plant began oper- ation in January, 1964, there were approximately 2,800.buildings hooked up to the city water system, and the city produced approx imately 533 mil- 1 ion gallons of water per year. Since 1964, the city fF . has increased the number of water connections to' 11,158 and in 1978, produced more than 1 -3 billion gallons of water. .In the mean - �Fsri time, the water utility is 16 years old and has been, ' and will continue to be, facing some major capital investment requirements to meet existing environmental and operational demands, while keeping `the lant technologically gically sound in terms of control and checking ;mechanisms. Finally, the cost of maintaining and operating the water $utility system has risen sharply in the years since the last rate �; adjustment was implemented. Some of the more dramatic cost increases Y' from 1974 to 1979 include the following: Labor, 39 %; chemicals, r utilities, 80 %. F S r <f }History of Water Utility Fund Balance >� The city charter provides that public service enterprise . `funds such as the water fund may not make a "profit", ��xTh Y p , and that in the event this happens, excess funds must be transferred to the special revenue fund. In the past, it has been a general city -� policy to establish utility rates so that the rates will be firm ^a v for 'several years and there would not be the need to change rates r ,frequently. I believe it is for this policy reason that t}ie city , -,has not changed water utility rates since 1974. Until the last year or so, the water utility was self- sustained with the rates which were established in 1974. However, since 1978, the fund balance in the water utility has decreased dramatically, creating a potent- serious cash flow problem to the operation of the water util- F:ity and evidencing the need to implement a rate adjustment so that „user fees are once again supporting the cost of the water utility ,enterprise fund. For instance; at the end of 1978, the water utility fund balance was $145,447. Revised 1979 revenue and expenditure t k J $ 3 Y $ .NS� Y.N7, Council Letter No. 396 -3- December 10, 1979 estimates indicate that we will end this year with a fund balance ` of $30,779, and that the fund will be in a deficit position at the end of 1980, if no rate increase is adopted. The water utility _needs a fund balance of $200,000 - $250,000 just to meet cash flow requirements, based on accounts receivable, inventory, etc.' Proposed Rate Adjustment Attached to this council letter is a proposed water rate or dinance amendment which would accomplish the following rate adjust- ments: 1. Increase the basic rate from 584 per 1,000 gallons to 74� per 1,000 gallons; 2. Institute a minimum quarterly water fee in the amount of $7.40, which will cover the cost of 10,000 or less water consumed during that quarter; ,# 3. Authorize a billing charge to cover costs of billing and collection; 4. Authorize a certification charge (preparation for, certification to taxes of delinquent accounts) ; ft��` kA` 5 Preparation of this special assessment and letters to a9zi� absentee landlords explaining the transfer warrant some form of additional charge. The customer service charge and certification charge for util- ity billings was established earlier this year when the city council �a amended'. the sewer utility rate ordinance. Also attached to this �$ council letter is a proposed amendment to the sewer :rate ordinance r - ;which modifies the charges included in that ordinance for billing and certification. Historically, the.sewer utility has covered the t ;tSQentire personnel cost of water and sewer billings, and the water } fund has borne only the postage and miscellaneous charges. I under - x' �fF,,stnad. that this practice arose because for many years the sewer fund was in better financial condition to support the costs of billing. z However, as the city seeks to improve our financial control and budget on a programmatic system, I believe it is more appropriate Wr for the water and sewer utility funds to share their proportional costs of customer billings, and, similarily, to be credited with y the revenues derived from the customer service charge. Similarily, =f� the water utility fund should receive the revenues generated by the certification charge for delinquent water accounts. The proposed ordinance amendment includes a -final change which would provide that the city council can, by motion; establish a f specific charge for special services rendered to water system users, to be..based on the actual cost to the utility in taking final meter readings. We have not historically charged customers for this ervice, but it seems appropriate that persons receiving special °,services should pay for those services. nt Council Letter No. 396 -4- December 10, 1979 ` Analysis of Recommended Rate Adjustment One of the major factors in analyzing and establishing utility rates relates to benefits accrued to the user, and actual costs to the utility of providing the service. This is a particularly difficult- analysis to complete for a water utility because a muni- cipal water system in a community such as Richfield has to have a capacity almost as large to meet fire suppression and protection needs as it would require just to meet fire usage demands. For this .,reason, a minimum user fee could justifiably be established based -on the cost of maintaining the'system, or the cost of customer services (those functions such as water treatment which are more specifically related to water consumption) or the total cost, both to maintain the overall system, even if no water were sold, plus the cost of providing customer services which are specifically re- lated to water usage and demand. In analyzing the 1978 water utility operation, it was determined that $568,9.43 was the fixed cost of the system operation. That cost does not include the costs which are specifically related to water production, but rather include only costs such as maintenance of ,,the system, utilities to keep the plant functioning, etc. Taking that system cost and dividing by the 1,250,000,000-gallons of water"sold ;in 1978, it ;would appear that a minimum quarterly water bill per user should be fixed at $12.52. This minimum system cost would be cut approximately in half if bonds and interest were excluded. How- ever, since bonds and interest are a very real portion of the system • _ cost, the system users should generate the revenues to retire those bonds and interest, to avoid the necessity of placing the water util- ity debt service on the general tax rolls. We began looking at reinstituting the minimum fee for the ;reason that all system users are benefitting from the presence of the water utility, i y, and that this basic reliance on the system should be reflected in the rates that people are charged.' Perhaps this M'minimum charge system is similar to the water availability charge that was formerly levied against all water system users. The--prob- em with looking at the minimum charge concept is one of determining ,,,,how many gallons of water a user should be able to purchase for that minimum charge,'and what revenues beyond the minimum must be gener- sated to support the cost of production. In 1978, the cost of water production, beyond the fixed cost, was $428,441, making the cost of production based on water sold that year equal to 43� per 1,000 'gallons. The combination of costs between the fixed costs"and the cost of production in 1973 equals 79.8fi per 1,000 gallons, which is considerably higher than the 59� per 1,000 gallons in revenues that the city actually derives to support the water utility in 1979. In 1980, the water utility cash requirements are approximately $940,962. This would be the cost both for the basic system main- as well as the cost to produce an estimated one billion, M1h three hundred million gallons of water. Assuming that approximately $40,000 in revenue could be derived from implementation of the t ;proposed customer service charge, total cash requirements in 1980 4i k ,,_n.ai}it5a..:,�+.i.. rs�r ,, .e _ .<. .. ,.. _. __. _ . .. ., ..., .. , ,. ._.... s r,e ,. _ ._ , :�.✓ ..,7:.'.it,. x � .,.� s .. _.. Council'Letter`No. 396 -5- December 10, 1979 . t will be approximately $900,000,.,.,, This means that it would be necessary to charge 79� per I'000 gallons to support the 1980 water utility operation, if.our projections of water usage are correct. g I believe that it would be unwise to anticipate that more water would be sold in 1980, given the pattern of decreasing water 'sales' since 1976, and current emphasis on conservation of all nat Ural resources. Of course, it is possible that 1980 would be a very dry year and that water sales would increase over those of this year and last year which were wet years when people did little lawn sprinkling and, therefore, used less water than they might -in a dry year when they purchase water to sprinkle their lawns, and water their flowers. Several alternatives exist in terms of implementing a water Y 'Sit a { rate adjustment.. We could initiate a. base rate increase from 58� x x5 :per 1,000 gallons to 78� per 1,000 gallons, using anticipated 1980 , costs and allocating the appropriate share of the customer billing Al 4 charge to the water fund.. This rate structure represents a substant- °ial cost increase, and does nothing to recognize that the utility certain system costs which, perhaps, should be borne equally all water users that are not related to that users' consumption water. I. believe the most equitable way of charging for water usage 5� is to- establish a minimum rate which reflects the approximate cost ,of the system, but which Aay also be applied 'toward purchasing water. r ',The proposed minimum charge of $7.40 per quarter reflects a base rate of 74� per 1,000 gallons. This rate provides sufficient fund k, ing to support the fixed costs of the water utility system and Fi provides some revenues toward retirement of the bonded indebted- mess: ,Although the outstanding debt on the water treatment plant s* will be expired in 1985, the age of the water treatment plant nec- N��2 essitates some major and j potentially very costly capital investment. ,The capital investment to the system is a function of age and the systems existence more than it is a function of the level of water }f ;consumption.`' .. For this reason, I believe some small portion of the 3 minimum water charge should be allocated toward retirement of the t,,tdebt during the .next few years, and then toward the necessary capital .investment to improve and maintain the overall system in a function- ing manner. A final factor which is important in evaluating the water util ity operations and financial condition, relates to the provisions 'of special services. Richfield's meter readers in the first 9 months of 1979 completed 680 final meter readings, for persons who were moving or who for one reason or another, needed to determine their water consumption at some time other than at the end of the regular quarterly reading. The city's cost to read a meter is approximately $4.29 per special reading. This does not include the cost of ren- ' dering,a special bill to collect revenues for the water used during period other than the standard three month period, nor does it reflect the cost of disruption to the readers' regularly scheduled work Council Letter No. 396 6 December 10, 1979 Karl Nollenberger City Manager #,z k KN /e] a r cc: Finance Coordinator R :Community Services Director bra �A 4 C N 49 Y pP 1 � "X f tF Y .} :gin t r bd t� n 7d r1l �-d td 7d M n o o m r-' 1 o r. r.

It should be noted,,that while this information has been provided by a certified public' accounting firm, the information is based on unaudited data supplied to the accounting firm by the applicant. Therefore, the public safety:department has been unable to specifically verify the financial reports. The corporation operates on ,a fiscal year which runs from Oct- ober 1 through September 30. Based on 'this accounting period, the pertinent statutorily required financial information is as follows: 12 Month Ending 12 Months End.

The city • attorney has advised that "principal part of business" may be in- terpreted to refer to percent of gross sales, but also to such things as amount of investment necessary to serve food, compared.to the serving of beverages or the number.of employees engaged in the preparations and serving of food compared with beverages, or the amount of space provided for the preparation and serving of food as compared with beverages.._ ".In short, the statute could be defined in a number of ways and.in no way 'infers that the definition must be limited.to a percent of gross retail sales..

During the evening hours, ;there is a, private security officer on duty at the establishment, and dur- ing weekend evenings, there are'two - private security' officers on duty at the establishment. The Public Safety Department has worked with the applicant in an effort to correct the criminal incidents occurrence rate. A part of this increase in reported police inci dents may, be attributed to the fact that there has been a substan- tial increase in the establishment's business activity in recent months', as will be noted in the discussion of the accountant's report. Though, the Public Safety Department is concerned about this increase in reported 'incidents, I do feel that the nature of the business will create some police activity. The Public Safety Depart - ment has.noted the cooperation of the applicant in attempting to deal with this situation. Accountant's Report The on -sale liquor ordinance requires that the applicant file with the city a statemen-t made by a certified public accountant which shows the gross sales and the total food sales of the preced- ing twelve month period. It should be noted that, while this infor- mation has been provided by a certified public accounting firm., the financial report itself is` based upon unaudited data supplied to the accounting firm by the applicant. Therefore, the Public Safety Department has been unable to specifically verify the financial reports. The corporation operates on a fiscal year which runs from June 1 to May 31. The.financial statements dated May 31, 1979 and September 30 -, 1979 are the latest statements that the applicant could provide at this time. Based on-this accounting period, the pertinent statutorily required financial information is as follows: 12 Months Ending 4 Months Ending May 31, 1979 SeptembeV 30, 1979 Total Sales £6:�5: ` $40a0, 030 Food Sales 533 109,3' 244 , X4'8 % of Food Sales to Total 50� % of Liquor Sales to Total 4g 5 The purpose of obta,,,ping this information is that state s�tat��l;es '.

It is the feeling of the Public Safety. Director, based on the financial statements_ submitted by the applicant, that the business is in conformance with this statutory requirement. One final - comment might be made with regard to the analysis of the financial statements. As the council may recall, since this business establishment opened, they operated for many months.on a deficit basis. Because of the council's concern about adequacy of the initial funding with which this business' opened,' a. stipulation was attached to the original license requirement that the applicant file a monthly financial statement with the city. This condition was not made apart of the 1979 license approval 'AF.-Ur the year e d'Ntay�. <1s; ;:1978r then orp raEtium -IT�ad a det4 cit o 3'$130 87`0:` � . howt4 31 0(:2 1 { so a en a m r <i e mret�he dae t elda� c ed to 7z0 a ;TYeref`ore, "based on the f inanc'al 'st °a'tements' submitted b�the applicant,' it would appear that the deficit condition which was previously of concern to the council is rapidly being corrected.

Law City of Richfield 6700 Portland Avenue South. Richfield, MN 55423 Dear Mayor Law: 7145 Harriet Avenue. Richfield, - Minnesota 55423 Thank you for your warm, personal pep talk on the eve of-Project CHarlie III`s Kick -off. Thankful as we are for your speech effort, we must now ask for funds to further our three main goals. r We are delighted with the progress made in the new Project CHarlie program to be instituted in our schools. In fact, it is an answer to our prayers of the past three years. However, the school program in funded within the school system which leaves us with the task of raising funds somewhere else within the community if we are to implement our goals. Some of our projected goals: 1. To compile and sponsor a resource of speakers consisting of people knowledgeable in the chemical dependency field, such as facilitators, counselors and drug dependents who have arrested their habit. They would speak to both community and school groups telling of their personal experiences with drug abuse. A 2. Continue to stock the pamphlet racks and expand to more locations. (Some pamphlets cost 85� apiece.) 3. Produce a slide film show about Richfield Project CHarlie III to be shown at community and civic groups. 4..Mailing, postage and printing costs for newsletters and flyers informing the community and media about Project CHarlie III. I _W_ Mayor Loren L. Law -2- S. Sponsoring recreational alternatives for the youth of Richfield ... restricting the attraction of at -home booze parties. A benefit to the City would be a better, more responsible community. Some of the characteristics of the community that show residents to be more aware include: a. Less drug - related crime b.-Less fires due to carelessness. (A person under the influence of drugs isn't too conscious of their cigarettes.) c. Less drunk and /or careless driving d. Less absenteeism and better performance from students and employees e. Less acts of violence in the home (domestic quarrels) or elsewhere Richfield residents are intensely involved in chemical dependency issues and have supported a proposal to fund CETA employees to staff a project CHarlie office. Enclosed is a proposed budget request to the City for assistance in our efforts. Again, we appreciate your efforts to support Project CHarlie activities in Richfield.

General Services Pay Plan _ The nonunionized city employees have established an informal organization called the Nonunionized City Employees (NORCE). This group is not presently organized as a bargaining unit under the Ap, provisions of state law, and while the city manager and his staff meetcperiodica.11y with the group to discuss salaries and °other matters, no negotiations are conducted with 'them. �~ . December 27, 1979 Council Letter No. 407 -3- The general services pay plan covers approximately thirty -five ' percent of city employees, including all full time, nonunion.ized employees except.those included in the,management pay plan. It is recommended that each step in this pay plan be increased by eight percent, and that the increase be effective January 1, 1980. The adjusted general services pay plan is reflected in Exhibit A. Management Pay Plan A 1980.pay plan resolution covering the position classifications assigned to grade G 17 through G 21 in the management pay plan has also been attached (Exhibit B)'. It is recommended that the minimum and maximum rates in each range be increased by eight percent with specific increases to be implemented in accordance with the pay plan resolution. In recommending the overall adjustments to the management pay plan several criteria were examined.. Consideration was given to survey data of comparable positions in other jurisdictions, the number of employees supervised, size of budget, organizational structure and overall duties and responsibilities. Specialized Pay Plan 'Thespec�al� zeds 7.�an a4p lies a rsmarily Ito a <rt t e 7 os 4scnalr, ssary "f'or sub - sjak'.changes to be made in this pay plan.

Further, Y the federal minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $3.10 in 1980. With the federal minimum wage rate so much higher than our pay rates for these positions, considerable recruitment problems occur because of the abundance of available jobs elsewhere which must meet the minimum wage requirement.

There have been amending resol- utions since that time, the most recent in December of 1977, which provided for youth representation on the Park and Recreation Comm- ission, in lieu of a separate Youth Advisory Commission. At its regular meeting in August, 1979 the commission was in- formed of the city's administrative reorganization concept. At the regular meeting in October, the commission requested an oppor- tunity to further discuss the reorganization and the Community Ser- vices Department organization and that of the rest of the city ad- ministration along with financial ramifications. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission then discussed their role in the re- organization. It was the unanimous recommendation of those members present that the city council be informed that the present Park and Recreation Advisory Commission is willing to undertake expanded responsibilities in conjunction with the city reorganization and the consolidation of functions embodied in the Department of Community Services. It is the position of the Community Services Director, in which I concur, that the proposal of the Park and Recreation Comm- ission to assume expanded responsibilities as a Community Services Advisory Commission be given approval by the city council. The council appointed commission membership is an effective advisory board, and helps provided the needed "pulse of the community." The membership keeps well informed on matters and gives careful, well thought- through consideration to times brought before them, serving as a sounding board for the staff, council and the whole of the community. The Community Services Department includes many activ- ities that are highly visible to the community, and I believe it would serve the city well to have an advisory commission to monitor and make recommendations regarding those activities and responsibilities. Council Letter No. 371 -2- November 29, 1979 Attached to this letter is a resolution for city council consideration which provides for expansion of the Park and Recre- ation Advisory Commission to serve as a Community Services Advisory Commission.

On November 29, 1979, the city council adopted a resolution establishing a public hearing on December 27, 1979, on a request for the city to finance an expansion of the Lyndale Fruit & Vegetable Market, Inc. (Lyndale Garden Center), located within the LHN project area. The hearing notice was published on Wednesday, December 12, 1979, in the Minneapolis Tribune and the Richfield Sun. The appro- priate documents have been on file with the city clerk for review by the public. These include the documents which are attached: a resolution giving preliminary approval to this request; the memorandum of agreement, the letter of intent from the sponsoring investment bankers and the application to the Securities Division, Minnesota Department of:-Commerce, for approval of the issuance of municipal industrial revenue bonds to support this project. On October 22, 1979, the city council reviewed the proposed project for the Lyndale Fruit and Vegetable Market, Inc. The pro- ject will include construction of an additional greenhouse, ware- house and display areas, as well as remodeling of the existing fa- cility. The purchase of additional land would be necessary to accommodate an enlarged and relocated parking lot and open display space. The project is in conformance with the LHN redevelopment plan adopted in March, 1979, by the HRA and the city council. It will result in better utilization of the subject land, reduce traffic congestion and traffic accident hazards along the adjacent portion of Lyndale Avenue, provide a safer environment for pedestrians and increase employment opportunities and tax revenue. It is, estimated that an additional twenty jobs will result from expansion of the garden center, with the annual payroll from these jobs equalling $120,000. The development costs will not exceed $1,500,000. Financing of this development under the Municipal Revenue Bond Act has been requested by the developer, in order to make this de- velopment financially feasible for the developer. Any other form of money, if even available, for temporary and permanent financing of this development would cost between 15 and 17 percent. Under the Revenue Bond Act, financing for the project would be available Council Letter No. 403 -2- December 27, 1979 for approximately 9z percent, because of the tax exempt status of municipal industrial revenue bonds. The city previously provided this type of financing to Financial Developers Properties, Inc., for construction of the K -Mart Store, at 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue. Preliminary approval by the city council of this type of finan- cing will enable the project to proceed on schedule, which calls for construction in the summer of 1980. Following city council approval of the proposed bond sale, it will be necessary to obtain state approval for the sale. Negotiations will then be initiated with the private investor, the city and the developer to formulate terms for the mortgage, to include the exact amount of the mortgage, amount of payments and an amortization schedule. Upon completion of negotiations, the agreements will be presented to the city coun- cil for final approval. Until final approval by the city council, financing for the project cannot be consumated. Preliminary ap- proval of the financing mechanism serves as an indication that the city supports the project, and will enable contacts with investors to be seriously pursued. With final approval of this financing, a mortgage note will be issued by the city. A private investor, probably a bank, will pur- chase the mortgage from the city. The city will lend the funds to Lyndale Fruit and Vegetable Market, Inc. and assign its interest in the mortgage to the investor. Lyndale Fruit and Vegetable will then make mortgage payments'to the investor. It is recommended that the city council give preliminary ap- proval to this project financing proposal by adopting the attached resolution. Approval of the bond sale by the Minnesota Securities Division will not be sought until a developer's agreement has been negotiated and approved by the city council.

It is hereby found, determined and declared as follows: 1.1 The welfare of the State of Minnesota requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce through governmental acts to prevent, so far as possible, emergency of blighted lands and areas of chronic unemployment, and the state has encouraged local govern- ment units to act to prevent such economic deterioration. 1.2 Lyndale Fruit and Vegetable Inc., a Minnesota corporation (hereinafter the "Company "), has advised this Council of its .desire to acquire and improve land and to construct and equip thereon additional facilities for and the expansion of the Lyndale Gardens facility for use in its business of the retail sale of agricultural products. 1.3 The existence of the Project within the City would significantly increase the tax base of the City, County and school district in which the City is located, and would provide opportunities for employment for residents of the City and surrounding area. 1.4 The City has been advised by the Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic .feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly reduced, but that with the aid of municiapl financing, and its resulting low borrowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible. 1.5 This Council has been advised by Dougherty, Dawkins, Strant & Ekstrom Incorporated, investment bankers, that on the basis of information submitted to them and their discussions with representatives of the Company that bonds to finance all or part of the cost of the Project can be successfully sold. 1.6 The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, to issue its revenue bonds or other obligations (the "Bonds ") to finance capital projects consisting of properties used and useful in conection with a revenue producing enterprise, such as that of the Company, and the issuance of such Bonds by the City would be a substantial inducement to the Company to construct its facility within the City. U 2. On the basis of information given the City to date, it appears that it would be in the best interest of the City to issue its industrial development revenue Bonds under the provisions of Chapter 474 to finance the Project of the Company at a cost presently estimated to be approximately $1,500,000. 3. The Project above referred to is hereby given preliminary approval by the City and the issuance of Bonds for such purpose and in such amount approved, subject to approval of the Project by the Commissioner of Securities of the State of Minnesota and to the mutual agreement of this body, the Company and the initial purchasers of the Bonds as to the details of the bond issue and provisions for its payment. In all events, it is understood, however, that the Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance legal or equitable upon any property of the City except the Project, and each Bond, when, as and if issued, shall recite in substance that the bond, including interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenues received from the Project and properly pledged to the payment thereof, and shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any con- stitutional, charter or statutory limitation thereon. 4. The form of Memorandum of issuance of the Bonds to finance t hereby approved, and the Mayor and authorized and directed to execute in behalf of the City.- Agreement relating to the ze cost of the Project is City Manager are hereby the Memorandum of Agreement 5. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01, Subdivision 7A, the Mayor and City Manager are authorized and directed to submit the proposal for the Project to the Commissioner of Securities for approval. The Mayor, City Clerk, City Manager, City Attorney and other officers, employees, and agents of the City and Messrs. LeFevere, Lefler, Pearson, O'Brien & Drawz, as bond counsel, are hereby authorized to provide the Commissioner with any preliminary information needed for this purpose, a -nd the City Attorney is authorized to initiate and assist in the preparation of such documents as may be appropriate to the Project, if it is approved by the Commissioner.

Second Reading. At the November 29, 1979 city council meeting, the city council gave first reading approval to a proposed ordinance amend- ment which would provide for regulation of parking in public park- ing lots within the city. A copy of the proposed ordinance amend- ment is attached to this council letter for council review and for second reading consideration. The proposed ordinance amendment would essentially enable the city council to establish, by resolution, parking restrictions for specific public parking lots. The ordinance amendment was developed specifically to enable the city to better control parking congestion and use of the parking lot adjacent to the community center, and to other city facilities which are used by widely divergent groups of people. If the city council gives second reading approval to the proposed ordinance amendment, the staff will develop a resolution to establish parking restrictions for the community center parking lot and other public parking lots with experienced traffic control problems, for council consideration at the January 14, 1980 city council meeting. It is recommended that the city council give second reading approval to the proposed ordinance amendment at the December 27, 1979 city council meeting.

Law, Mayor • CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 399 Agenda December 27, 1979 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Ordinance Amendment Relating to Bid Openings, Second Reading On December 10, 1979, the city council gave first reading approval to an ordinance amendment which proscribes the process for the opening of official sealed bids received by the city for various purchases and construction projects. The proposed or- dinance amendment is attached to this council letter for second reading consideration by the city council. The proposed ordinance amendment would provide that sealed bids may be opened by the city manager, or his /her designee, the city clerk and /or department head. The previous ordinance required that three department heads, plus the city manager be present at any bid opening. As a result of the change in the city's admini- strative organization, it has become very difficult to assemble three department heads, plus the city manager for any bid opening, and it has presented major scheduling problems to meet this ordin- ance requirement. I believe the attached ordinance amendment pro- vides sufficient legal representation for the city in the opening of bids, and will alleviate some of the scheduling problems which have been presented by the requirement that three out of the city's four department heads housed in the central municipal building must be present at all bid openings. It is recommended that the city council give second reading approval to the proposed ordinance amendment at the December 27, 1979 city council meeting.

Administrative Staff to Open Bids. All competitive bids submitted for any purpose shall be opened by the City administrative staff. When such bids are opened, (at Least three City department heads shall be present including the City Manager) the City Manager or his /her designee, the City Clerk and one City department head shall be present.

This certificate of conformance, as noted in the attached letter, is a significant recognition of Richfield's financial accounting and reporting procedures. The certificate of conform- ance is accompanied by award of financial reporting achievement, which has been presented by the MFOA posthumously to Thomas J. Moran, the city's finance director during the year for which the award is made. The award of Financial Reporting Achievement and the MFOA Certificate of Conformance represents a significant accomplishment for the City of Richfield and, I think, deserves tribute to all of the city's financial and accounting staff per- sonnel. The presentation of the Certificate of Conformance has been scheduled for the December 27, 1979 city council meeting. Mayor Law has requested the opportunity to present this award to Jean Mitchell, the city's current finance coordinator, in public rec- ognition of Richfield's financial management accomplishments.
