Burggraaff City Manager W SB/j kl cc: Personnel Director !y' CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of -City Manager Council Letter No. 168 Agenda May 23, 1y77 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the -City Council City of Ric'nfield Gentlemen: Subject: Recommendation for Denial of Temporary Sign Permit Lindahl Olds, 1900 West 78th Street, has requested a temporary sign permit to allow the use of advertising spotlights for May 28-29-30 in conjunction with a Memorial Day weekend promotion. In September, 1976, the city council approved a special use permit to allow expansion of the building facilities of Lindahl Olds. That special use permit was approved with two stipulations: 1. That landscaping on Knox Avenue be maintained in accordance with city policy. 2. That parallel parking be provided in the off-street parking area along I494 frontage road. In addition, the off-street parking contract approved in conjunction with the special use permit contained two stipulations: 1. That striping of the off-street parking area be completed in conformance with the site plan. 2. That the applicant establish and maintain a landscaped boulevard along Knox Avenue . Lindahl Olds has not complied with the stipulations contained in either the special use permit nor the conditions required as part of the off-street parking contract. The applicant continues to park cars along the frontage road in such a manner that the front. ends of the vehicles hang .over the curb, creating a serious safety problem. The Knox Avenue boulevard is also used frequently to park cars and has not been landscaped as required. No parking lot striping has been done. ` Council Letter No. 168 -2- May 23, 1977 A building permit was issued by the inspection department on April 22, 1977 for the expansion permitted by the special use permit. At that time, a representative of Lindahl Olds again stated that they would make an attempt to comply with their obligations. Nevertheless, none of the stipulations. contained in either the special use permit nor the off-street parking contract has been met. Therefore, it is recommended that the city council deny the application for the temporary sign permit, and request Lindahl Olds to come into compliance with the stipulations imposed on the special use permit and the off-street parking contract. - Respectfully submitted, i~ ayne S .

At the time of that council authorization, a minimum acceptable bid price of _$59,000 was established. On January 12, 1976., the city manager recommended to the city council that the single bid which had been received for the truck be rejected,._snce the amount bid, $48,500, was below the minimum established in the bid specifications. Also at that time, the city manager requested authorization to enter into informal negotiations with the City of Minneapolis, the bidder, in an effort to achieve an acceptable quotation for purchase of the apparatus. The council took action to reject both the bid and the proposal to enter into informal negotiations.. As the public safety director reveiwed at that time, Richfield's need for aerial equipment is limited due to the structural composition of the community, and the particular piece of aerial equipment now owned is largely inappropriate to meeting the fire fighting needs of the community. This ladder truck requires two drivers to operate, representing an unnecessary strain on present manpower allocations in the fire division. The equipment is difficult to use when a timely response to a fire emergency situation is necessary. If we were to retain aerial apparatus, some form of aerial platform which could be operated by one man would be far more suitable to the city's needs. Currently, the First Alarm Response Agreement we have with Edina provides that their community will respond to specific locations in Richfield with their aerial equipment, Additionally, the fire chief has discussed a similar arrange- ment with the City of Bloomington, and found that Bloomington would be willing to respond to some Richfield fire emergencies on a first alarm basis with their aerial equipment. In both of these cases, the neighboring communities can have aerial equipment to the scene of an emergency faster than we can respond with our present aerial ladder truck manned with callback personnel. ~lJ lAtl V11 L~+~-ova ivv. ~vv } The City of Minneapolis and the City of .Lake- City nave both recently indicated interest in exploring the possibility of purchasing our 85 foot aerial ladder truck. Therefore, it is recommended that the city council authorize the city manager to enter into informal negotiations with these communities and any other interested bidders to obtain a satisfactory sale price for disposal of this equipment. If such an agreement can be reached, the council will be asked to approve the final sale of the vehicle at some future date. Respectfully submitted, ~ ~~~ ~'~ ~~~~.~~ ~~ Wayne S.

The request for a rehearing of the Paradise Palace Sauna matter is scheduled on the May 23, 1977 city council agenda.

There are two such items on the council agenda of May 23, 1977. Utility Box for Pick-I7p Truck This item provides for authorization to purchase a new utility box to be used on a new truck in the water division. The original plans for use of this new truck provided that an existing box presently mounted on a truck which will be auctioned later this summer would be removed and placed on the new truck. However, we have now found that the existing box is so badly deteriorated with rust that it would be impossible to remove it from the truck on which it is presently mounted. Quotations have been solicited from two companies that handle such utility boxes. ~ One quotation was received from McQueen Equipment Company in the amount of $1,372, providing fora 30-day delivery. The second quotation was submitted by Telelect Company, in the amount of $1,225, with a 120 day delivery date. It is the recommer:dation of the acting public works director, in which I concur, that the council authorize the purchase of this utility box from McQueen Equipment Company in the amount of $1, 372. Although this quotation is slightly higher than the otI-~ r received, the 30-day time schedule is consiUerably more beneficial to the city, and sufficient funds are available in the water division budget to provide for the cost of this purchase. Repairs to Air Conditioning/Heating System The city has athree-year contract with Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Company providing far routine service and maintenance work on heating and air conditioning equipment and controls in the city hall building. This agreement also provides that repairs and replacement of worn or defective parts shall be performed Council Letter No. 164 -2- May 23, 1977 +by Advanced Engineering, with the city to pay the actual cost of the materials necessary to make such repairs. Several days ago, a motor in one oj: the major air conditioners/chiller units in the city hall was found to be burned out. The replacement of this motor re- quired substantial overhaul as well as new filters, and compressor parts. The Advanced Engineering Company estimated that the repairs would cost approx- imately $4500. Since the repair work was of an emergency nature, I authorized the repairs to be made immediately and the work is now underway. However, it would be appropriate for the council to adopt the attached resolution authorizing the necess- ary repairs as a purchase in excess of $1, OOO and providing for a transfer from the contingency account tc the public works department to cover the cost of these repairs .

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield that the sum of $4, 500 be transfered from the contingency appropriation of the General Fund to the Public Works Department.

Moran City Clerk y CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 163 Agenda May 23, 1977 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Authorization to Advertise for Bids On the May 23, 1977 city council agenda there is an item requesting authorization to advertise for bids for the procurement of a vacuum street sweeper attachment to be installed on our existing Vac-All truck. Vacuum Street Sweeper Attachment The April 11, 1977 council agenda included an item for "Vacuum Street Sweeper -Approval of Bid Tabulations and Rejection of Bids." At that time the council approved a recommendation by the acting public works director and the city manager that alI bids be rejected for the following reasons: 1. Bids meeting specifications are in excess of the funds budgeted for this purchase. 2. Bids which are within budgetary limits differ substantially from the. city's minimum requirements. We ;lave now re-evaluated our present and future needs for this type of equip- ment and find that a vacuum street sweeper attachment may be obtained and in- stalled on our current Vac-All truck, which will perform the same function as a new sweeper unit. This attachment has a larger capacity, which will allow mare time on the job, and provides for a substantial savings in capital outlay. Funds for the purchase of this equipment are included in the 1977 central garage budget. It is the recommendation of the acting public works director, in which I concur, that the city council authorize the call for bids for the purchase of a Vacuum Street Sweeper Attachment.

The property owners on both sides of Cedar Avenue between 64th Street and 65th Street have been notified that a request is pending before the council for establishment of "No Parking Anytime" restrictions on both sides of Cedar Avenue between 64th Street and 65th Street. The committee's recommendation on this request was .that the request be denied. The committee also recommended to the council that parking prohibitions reading "No Parking 3:30-5:30 p. m. " be established on the west side of Lyndale Avenue between 74th and 76th Street.

Signature of applicant iy CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA • Office •of City Manager Council Letter No. 160 Agenda May 23, 1977 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Taxicab Driver License, Mr. Floyd S. Marshall, Sr. At the city council meeting on May 9, 1977.-the council took action to approve the application for a taxicab driver license by Mr. Marshall. As the council may recall, this action had been deferred from the April 25th council meeting because of a recommendation for denial by the Public Safety Director. This recommendation for denial was based on an extensive past traffic violation record as well as a criminal offense conviction record. At the council meeting on May 9th, Mr. Marshall indicated that he had received a taxicab driver license from the City of Bloomington. Several members of the council have stated that this information influenced their favorable consideration of this matter. In a routine follow-up on this action, the public safety department has determined that the City of Bloomington has not granted Mr. Marshall a taxicab driver license. Mr. Marshall has applied for such a license in the City of Bloomington and apparently presented the city council with a receipt for the application fee during his presentation on May 9th. However, because of Mr. Marshall's traffic and criminal conviction records, the Bloomington Police De- partment has denied the approval of his taxicab driver license in that community. Councilman Luettinger has indicated that he feels the manner in which this matter was presented by Mr. Marshall was misleading and has asked that this item again be placed on the council agenda for discussion purposes. - Respectfully submitted, j~/ C~ . ~~'~ VL Wayne S.

Since these two ordinances were initially adopted, the public safety department has found from experience that adequate monitoring is taking far more time than originally anticipated. Based on the experience the public safety department has had in these investi- gations, the city attorney's office has determined that we can justify higher license and investigation fees. The city council has also discussed other ordinance changes, which the city attorney's office is currently researching. However, I think it would be appropriate for the council to take immediate action amending the fee schedule relating to these ordinance sections . The present annual fee for a sauna license is $600. Based on the on-going monitoring activities which the public safety department has found necessary, it is recommended that this fee be increased to $1,500. The sauna ordinance also provides for an initial investigation fee of $700. Based on the time these initial background investigations-are taking, it is recommended that the investigation fee be increased to a minimum of $1, 5 00 . The present annual fee for amasseur-masseuse certificate is $25, and there is no investigation fee. While the annual fee appears adequate, it is recommended that the ordinance be amended to include an initial investigation fee for amasseur- masseuse certificate of $75. This fee would snore accurately reflect time spent by the public safety department in making the necessary background investigation on the applicant. The final amendment suggested to these ordinances is a provision that the fees stated be stipulated as minimum fees, with the city retaining the right to charge an applicant for any investigation costs incurred that might exceed this minimum fee . Council Letter No. -2- May 23, 1977 Copies' of the proposed ordinance amendments are attached for city council review. It is the recommendation of the public safety director, in which I concur, that the city council give first reading consideration to these proposed ordinance amendments .
