The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Park and Recreation Fee Schedule
Council Letter No. 77
Agenda February 28, 1977
The purpose of this council letter is to submit for city council consideration
certain adjustments in park and recreation program fee schedules for 1977.
At the January 24, 1977 city council meeting the city council asked the
city manager and Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to develop recommend-
ations for user fees which would be adequate to provide public recreational
swimming on a self sustaining basis at West Junior High pool this summer. The
is request came as a result of the substantial losses which the city incurred in this
program last year. In addition to reviewing fees for summer use of West Junior .
High Pool, we have reviewed fees for the city swimming pool, for the ice arena,
and for the community center. This letter contains recommendations on all of
these programs.
Swimming Pool Fees and Charges
Prior to 1976, the City of Richfield owned and operated an outdoor municipal
swimming pool which offered a variety of instructional programs as well as general
open swimming on a season ticket basis. In 1976, the Richfield School District
indoor swimming pools at East Junior High and West Junior High were available to
the public for the first time.
The city sponsored swim program in the summer of 1976 included instruction
time at all three pool facilities. One half of the lessons were offered at the out-
door pool, one fourth of the lessons at East Junior High and one fourth at West
Junior High. Open swimming was offered at the outdoor municipal swimming pool
seven days a week between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. General open
swimming was offered at the West Junior High School pool between the hours of
2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. seven days a week. Evening hours of 7:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m. were also offered at West Junior High School pool with general swim
on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, adult night on Mondays, family
night on Tuesdays, and teen night on Fridays. Information regarding average use
Council Letter No. 77 -2- February 28, 1977
of the indoor pool during open swim times in the summer of 1976 is attached
• for your information and review.
Open swimming at both the outdoor pool and the indoor pool was included
in a season ticket which cost $20/21 for Richfield families and $15/$16 for
Richfield individuals. Without a season ticket, admission to the outdoor pool
was $1.00 for eight hours of general open swim and $1.00 for each three hour
session at West Junior High pool.
The following figures for 1975 and 1976, compare revenues and expenditures:
Pool Expenditures: 1976 1975
Personal Services $33,638 $26,972
Other Services and Charges 13,999 10,153
School Pool Rental 13,325 -
Supplies 9,951 6,939
Capital Outlay 1 , 085 403
$71,998 $44,467
Pool Revenues:
Family season ticket $24,446 $23,212
• Single season ticket 4,333 4,9S1
Non-resident family ticket 962 404
Non-resident single ticket 115 38
Daily admissions 10,680 6,221
Concession income 6,015 5 , 213
Guest ticket 12 82
Water babies 998 789
Diving 219 396
Lifesaving 559 830
Swim instruction - adult 268 314
Swim instruction - youth Red Cross 4,231 4,074
Handicap swim 40 -
Outdoor pool rental 659 -
$53,537 $46,524
Differences of Expenditure/Revenue ($18,461) $ 2,057
It is very difficult to review the 1976 figures and distinguish which expend-
itures and revenues are attributable to the outdoor pool and which to the indoor
pool operations. However, staff review would indicate approximately $13, 000
of the deficit realized in 1976 can be attributed to the school pool operation.
The 1977 operating budget, which the city council approved on October 8,
1977, does not include any allocation for an outdoor swim program or for bus
Council Letter No. 77 -3- February 28, 1977
transportation for youth Red Cross swim instruction. The city council has
• indicated a desire, however, to provide a summer indoor swimming program.
The direction to city staff and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission
was to meet the 1977 budget for the outdoor pool as outlined in the budget
document and to provide an indoor swim program on a financially self-sustaining
basis. On Tuesday, February 8, 1977, the Park and Recreation Advisory Comm-
ission developed the following recommendations:
1 . The outdoor pool operation or any other park and recreation activity
or program should not subsidize the indoor pool operation. This
may be accomplished in the following manner:
Outdoor Pool:
Resident season tickets for families or individuals would be
available at the same rate as in 1976 (Richfield family season
ticket: $20/$21, Richfield single season ticket: $15/$16).
This would allow the municipal pool to operate as per the
adopted 1977 budget allocations and projections.
Indoor Pool:
An hourly charge would be made without the benefit of season
ticket. This allows for clear separation of the two facilities
• and proper analysis of the indoor pool operation. The hourly
rate for West junior High swim facilities should be reasonable
while attempting to provide a self-sustaining budget. The fee
structure would be:
A. General admission to open swim: $.50 hour or $1.00-3 hours
B. Wading Pool/Patio Area Only: $.25 hour or $ .50-3 hours
C. Parents or others in street clothes
supervising children in wading pool
area: No Charge
2. A non-resident season ticket to the outdoor pool should be provided
at the same rate as in 1976 (non-resident family season ticket: $30,
non-resident single season ticket: $20).
3. As there is no budget allocation for busing to swim instruction and as
indications from the 1976 season indicate small demand for such service,
the 1977 swim season should not provide busing for swim instruction.
4. The city staff should have authority to make any necessary adjustments
in indoor pool hours to keep the program on a self-sustaining basis. The
tentative 1977 summer swim schedule at the West junior High indoor
swimming pool and at the municipal outdoor swimming pool is briefly out
lined in an attachment.
• Council Letter No. 77 -4-
February 28, 1977
Winter Indoor Swimming Program
• The winter indoor swimming program has been analyzed for the first two
months of 1977. A statistical summary indicating the experience with this
program is attached for your information. At the present time it is running on
a self-sustaining basis and it is recommended that the program be continued
through the month of May.
Community Center Fees and Charges
The following is the staff recommended fee structure for rental of the
Community Center. This recommendation was approved by the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission at the February 8, 1977 meeting.
Groups using the center on a regular basis
during regular center hours:
Youth groups
Adult clubs and organizations using the
center outside regular center hours:
0-20 members attending
• 20-50 members attending
50-100 members attending
100+ members attending
No charge for room rental
No charge for room rental
(Room rental only)
$ 2.50
$ 5.00
$ 7. 50
$10.00
In addition to room rental rates, the following rates would be charged related to
food service which would be provided by the club or organization:
Snack and/or beverage $ 2.50
Lunch or dinner using center coffee pot $ 5.00
only
Lunch or dinner using full kitchen facil. $10.00
It is further recommended that the center be made available for private
ceremonies such as receptions while continuing the city policy prohibiting alco-
holic beverages. In this instance there would be a minimum charge of $40.00
for up to three hours. A $10.00 charge would be made for each additional hour.
Ice Arena Fees and Charges
Inasmuch as the city council approved a new rate structure for rental of ice
time in August of 1976 and the full impact of this increase will not be realized
until after February of 1977 when all rental contracts some under the new rates,
is it is staff's recommendation to propose no change at this time. Staff would
propose to study the effect of the new rate structure and maintain the option to
recommend changes during 1977 to become effective January 1, 1978. At the
February 8, 1977 Park and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting it was the
Council Letter No. 77
-5-
February 28, 1977
unanimous vote of the commissioners present to accept the staff recommendation
outlined above.
•
Summary
In summary it is recommended that the city council take the following
action:
1. Continue to use the 1976 rates for pool season tickets in 1977 with the
provision that such season tickets may only be used at the city outdoor
pool.
2. Establish hourly charges as recommended in this council letter for
summer use of the West junior High School.
3. Continue the existing indoor swimming program through the month of
May, 1977.
4, Raaffirm the action taken during the 1977 budget hearings whereby
busing will not be provided for Youth Red Cross swim instructions.
5. Authorize the city manager to make any necessary adjustments in
scheduling the use of the West junior High pool for the summer
swimming program so as to maintain this program on a self-sustaining
basis.
•
6. Adopt a resolution amending the Community Center fee schedule by
establishing the schedule recommended in this council letter.
In addition to these recommendations the staff will give full consideration to
ice arena fees and charges and will make the necessary recommendations for further
adjustments later in the year.

Council Letter No. 75
Agenda February 28, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Request for Special Use Permit for A Car Sales Lot
At 616 East 78th Street.
Mr. Steven J. Anderson of Dollar Rent-A-Car Systems, 616 E. 78th
Street is requesting the issuance of a special use permit to establish a used
car sales lot in a general commercial zone.
The following items are attached to this report and will be referred to
throughout:
• Exhibit A shows current zoning
Exhibit B - shows current land use
Exhibit C - shows the existing site plan
Exhibit D - regulations relating to car sales lots.
Background
The applicant is requesting this permit so that he may sell rental vehicles
as they are retired from rental service. On February 8, 1971 a special use
permit was approval by the city council for a car rental agency at this location.
On October 28, 1974 the city council modified the special use permit to allow
parking for up to five truck and van rental units so that the applicant could
rent these vehicles as well as automobiles.
The applicant has been selling rental vehicles at this location in violation
of the city ordinance. The zoning ordinance Section 3.33, subd. 3, requires
a special use permit for the establishment of a car sales lot.
The rental cars and passenger vans will be sold throughout the year.
All of their rental cars are for sale at arty time. However, usually five to
twenty-five specific vehicles between six and eighteen months old are
advertised for sale. Vehicles from the company's St. Paul location and
proposed airport location could be sold from this location as all of their
vehicles are continually rotating and are not assigned to a specific location.
Council Letter No. 75 -2- February 28, 1977
On site advertising of sale vehicles at this time is a sign reading "For
• Sale" which is mounted on the dashboard.. These vehicles will occupy
the stalls nearest to 78th Street. No changes to the existing building,
lot design, signing, landscaping or business emphasis is proposed.
Staff Review
Staff has reviewed this application for conformance to the regulations
governing car sales lots and finds:
1. The use will not abut a lot in an "R" residential district.
The property on three sides is zoned C.-2, general
commercial.
2. The use will not create undue traffic hazards or traffic
congestion. 78th Street between 12th Avenue and Portland
Avenue is a one-way, west.
3. This property is not located on a corner lot, therefore, no
driveways will be closer than 40 feet to the nearest inter-
section.
4. Only one permanent detached sign, pedestal type is allowed
18 on the street frontage. No additional signs are proposed.
Staff Recommendations
It is the opinion of the planning staff that the issuance of a special use
permit for a car sales lot will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals,
comfort, convenience or welfare of persons residing or working in the neigh-
borhood of such use or to the public welfare or injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood.
It is the recommendation of the staff that the special use permit be
issued with the following stipulations:
1. Car sales lot be allowed only as an accessory use to a rental
vehicle operation.
This stipulation is suggested as a means of tying this particular
type of car sales business to the car rental business. If the
property were no longer used as a car rental business, this
special use permit would no longer be in effect.
2. Method of on-site advertising of sale vehicles be limited to
signs affixed to the interior of the vehicles for sale.
These stipulations have been discussed with the applicant and are acceptable
to him. The enforcement of the second stipulation could be a potential problem.
•
Council Letter No. 75
-3-
February 28, 1977
However, under the conditions of the ordinance, violation of a stipulation
imposed on a special use permit would be cause for revocation of the special
use permit.
Planning Commission Recommendation
•
The application for a special use permit was considered by the
planning commission at their February 22, 1977 meeting. The planning
commission in their review of the application favored the staff recommended
stipulation for limited car sales signage, but questioned the long-term enfor-
cibility of the stipulation. The planning commission voted to recommend
approval of the special use permit for a car sales lot with the stipulations
recommended by staff with a vote of 3 ayes, 1 abstained and 1 no.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Inter-Office M morandum
DATE February 16, 1977
To Wayne S. Burggraaff, City Manager
FROM James V. Lacina, Personnel Director
SUBJECT Report on Application of the Comprehensive Employment and Training
Act to the City of Richfield
This memorandum has been prepared in response to your request for historical
information on the CETA Program and for a proposal for continued use of
anticipated CETA funding in 1977.
Background Information
The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) enacted by Congress in
1973 replaced several previous federal employment and training programs. Prior
to 1973 there were such programs as the Emergency Employment Act, Work
• Incentive Program, and others. The CETA Act of 1973 coordinated all of these
programs under one section of law with various titles pertaining to different
employment and training programs.
Richfield particpated to the extent possible in the available employment programs
prior to 1973. In every instance it was necessary for the city to participate in
WIN or EEA through Hennepin County inasmuch as our population was below the
50 , 000 population figure required for these programs.
CETA funding under Title VI (Public Service Employment) of the 1973 act was
first made available to suburban municipalities in Hennepin County with
populations under 50, 000 in January of 1975. The 50, 000 population requirement
meant that in Hennepin County only the County, the City of Bloomington and the
City of. Minneapolis could be prime sponsors and receive funds directly from the
federal government. It was necessary for all other participating municipalities
to receive funds through Hennepin County with the county 'serving as the prime
sponsor and the municipalities acting in the capacity of sub-grantees.
CETA Em lp oyrnent Regulations
There were and still are a number of significant regulations which a prime sponsor
or a sub-grantee must follow in mai,.ing use of CETA funds. The federal government
insures that these regulations are followed by conducting periodic audits. The
City of Richfield has been audited once during the past two years by the federal
government 'to insure our compliance with the regulations.
2
• The basic regulations which apply to the City of Richfield and which were
implemented in accordance with the 1973 act are as follows:
1 . All CETA employees must be residents of Hennepin County,
excluding Bloomington and Minneapolis. No other more restrictive
or more liberal resident requirements are permitted.
2. In order to be eligible for employment under the public service
employment section of the CETA Act, an individual must either
be unemployed for 30 days or under employed for the same period
of time.
3. The maximum monthly salary eligible for reimbursement under the
CETA Act is $833 per month. In addition, all fringe benefits paid
on monthly salaries up to $833 per month are eligible for reimburse-
ment. In those instances when an employee in a CETA position is
paid at a higher rate than $833 per month, the recipient agency must
fund the difference.
4. Unemployment compensation paid to any individual who has been
in a CETA funded position is an eligible reimbursement.
• 5. In the employment of individuals for a CETA funded position, the
city is bound by federal affirmative action and equal opportunity
regulations as well as the CETA maintenance of effort agreement.
The maintenance of effort agreement prevents the city from using
CETA funds for existing or previously budgeted positions.
The preceding list of regulations are those basic criteria which the city has had
to follow in this program. The city does not have the responsibility of insuring
that an individual has been unemployed for 30 days or under employed for the
same period of time. This responsibility has been assumed by the State Depart-
ment of Manpower Services which does the necessary screening and provides an
eligible individual with a special certificate of eligibility which must be submitted
to any agency employing persons in CETA funded positions.
Extensions of CETA Funding
The CETA program has been a difficult one for recipient local governments to
administer because of the temporary nature of the program. In addition to pro-
viding employment and training according to the provisions of the act, local
governments had to do this in such a way so that they could be prepared to
layoff those CETA funded employees in positions where funding could not be
provided by the local government at the end of the program. The matter has been
further complicated by numerous extensions of the program. In most instances
these extensions tended to be last minute actions occurring just before funding
for the program was due to run out.
3
• As indicated previously, CETA was enacted in 1973. The City of Richfield
first started receiving CETA funds on January 1, 1975. Initially the program
was due to terminate June 30, 1975. In was subsequently extended to
June 30, 1976. Still additional actions extended the program to September 30,
1976; then to November 30, 1976 and then to March 31, 1977. Current pro-
jections are that the program will be extended to September 30, 1977 and
perhaps beyond.
These extensions have made it difficult to effectively plan for the use of CETA
funds. Nevertheless, it would appear that current circumstances would strongly
support our efforts to anticipate CETA funding for practically all of 1977 and to
plan for CETA funded positions for that period of time.
Funds Received and CETA Positions Filled
In 1975 the city received a total of $68,564 for CETA funded positions. Initially
there were nine positions in 1975, but through additional funding the number of
positions grew to fourteen by the end of the year. In 1976 the city received a
total of $159, 077 for the CETA program and filled a total of 15 positions.
When the 1977 budget was being prepared it was necessary to assume, on the
basis of information available at that time, that there would be no CETA funding
• in 1977. Therefore, the 1977 budget does not include any CETA revenue.
Moreover, provisions were made to fund six positions with other revenues.
These were positions which were necessary for the city to retain and which
previously had been funded with CETA money.
During the latter part of 1976 and the first part of 1977, the CETA funded positions
have been continued on a month-to-month basis because of the uncertainty in the
program and the several funding extensions. However, at the end of January, the
city received a CETA grant in the amount of $67,645 for 1977 and we have been
assured that we will receive additional grants for the balance of the year which
will make it possible to extend our CETA program at least through September 30,
1977.
Proposal for Use of CETA Funds in 1977
At your request I have met with department directors to discuss the best possible
use of CETA funds during 1977. In considering this matter and developing staff
recommendations, you should know that we took into consideration the following:
1 . We were aware of the purpose of the federal legislation and the
recent change in employment requirements and endeavored to develop
a proposal which would be in accordance with. these provisions.
4
2. We realized that those positions funded by CETA money would
not, in most instances, be retained due to the lack of other
available funds. Therefore, we could only anticipate up to
one year of employment in most cases.
3. We attempted to propose positions which would provide manpower
where most needed and where the elimination of this manpower
after a one year period of time would be least affected.
4. We also took into consideration the need to arrange CETA funding
in such a way so as to achieve maximum savings in the general
fund budget which could be carried forward for 1978 revenue
purposes.
Attached to this memorandum you will find an exhibit which indicates the positions
which have been funded with CETA money in 1975 and 1976. The exhibit also
illustrates the proposed allocation of these funds for 1977. The 1977 proposal
consists of the following:
1. The positions of community center programmer, clerk typist II (com-
unity center) and two janitors at city hall were originally supported
by other revenues in the 1977 budget. We are proposing to continue
• funding these positions by CETA funds thereby creating an estimated
savings in the general fund budget of $45,000, assuming that CETA
money will be available for the entire year.
2. The former CETA funded position of health environmentalist is proposed
to be funded by the Community Health Act money which the city will be
receiving from the state in 1977. Most of this money will be used for
the improved personal health nursing service, but it is necessary that
a small portion also be utilized for environmental health activities.
The net effect of this change will be to continue funding this position
with other than normal general fund revenues and also free up CETA
funding so that an additional CETA position in the maintenance area
can be created in 1977.
3. The positions of clerk typist II (liquor) and administrative aide (Public
Works) would be moved out of the general fund- budget. The clerk
typist II works exclusively on liquor store records and is therefore
properly funded in the liquor store operating budget. The administrative
aide does considerable work in the areas of the water and sewer
utilities and the central garage and is, therefore, properly financed
by these three funds. The net effect of these actions would be to
make it possible to use the CETA funds previously allocated to these
two positions for additional maintenance positions .
5
4. Two additional CETA maintenance positions would be added in the
street division of the public works department to reflect the antici-
pated need for additional personnel in this division to work in the
area of Dutch Elm disease control. Three additional maintenance
positions would be allocated to the park maintenance budget in
acknowledgment of the need for additional manpower in this area
and also in recognition of the fact that substantial cuts were
made in the 1977 budget for seasonal park maintenance activities.
5. Two street maintenance positions, two park maintenance positions,
a naturalist and a janitor at the ice arena would be continued from
1976 to 1977.
In summary, the use of CETA funds anticipated to be received in 1977 is
recommended to be allocated as shown on the attached exhibit for 1977.
Assuming that there will be CETA funding for the entire year, adequate to
cover the 15 proposed positions, it is anticipated that the city will receive
an estimated $180,000 for this purpose. It will be necessary for the city to
contribute $26,500 over the course of the year to make up the difference between
the allowed $833 per month maximum payment and actual wages provided for by
resolution or labor contract. The $26,500 can be derived from savings created
by the continuation of CETA funding for positions already funded by the 1977
• budget. In addition, in order to implement the. recommendation, it will be
necessary for the city council to authorize a reduction of one permanent street
maintenance man in the public works department. This position is one of those
positions not funded in the 1977 budget, but this action should be taken by the
city council so as to avoid any complication with CETA regulations.

Council Letter No. 72
Agenda February 28, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Joint Bloomington-Richfield Sludge Disposal Study
On February 14, 1977 the city council deferred action on the joint Bloomington-
Richfield sludge disposal study until the February 28, 1977 city council meeting.
As was pointed out at the city council meeting of February 14, 1977, it is the
opinion of the staff in which T concur, that a study of this nature is desirable at
this point in time. Since 1970 the cost of emptying one sludge pit per year has
risen from $11i,000 to $/10,000. 1t is anticipated, that this cost. will rise to over
$50, 000 per year by 1980 and $70, 000 per year by 1985. In addition, pollution
control regula tions may radically affect our ability to find land sites that will
accept sludge of this nature for disposal.
By initiating the study at this time the City of. Richfield will be in a position
to evaluate long term sludge disposal possibilities and program necessary
capital expenditures over a number of years.
Attached to this council letter is a copy of Council Letter No. 49 dated
February 14, 1977 giving the background and other detailed information regard-
ing this study. It should be noted that tine study was approved by the Blooming-
ton City Council on February 14, 1977 with the condition that the City of Rich-
field would also be a party to the agreement.
It is'the recommendation of the public works director in-which I concur, that
the city council approve the following:
1. Authorize the proposed joint sludge disposal study in the amount of
$55, 000 with cost to be equally shared between the cities of
Bloomington arid Richfield.
2. Request the city attorney to prepare an agreement for implementing this
study with the City of Blcomin ;ton and Metcalf and Eddy, Inc. The
cost for this study would be paid for through water utility revenues.

Council Letter No. 49
Agenda February 14, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Joint Bloomington-Richfield Sludge Disposal Study
On December 3, 1976 I forwarded to the city council a memo indicating
that the staff was investigating the possibilities of a joint sludge disposal
study with the City of Bloomington. At that time I indicated that we would be
submitting specific recommendations to the city council after definite proposals
were received and reviewed.
Background
The operation of Richfield's municipal wafer treatment plant produces c
lime residue that is stored in two large sludge pits behind the water plant. This
sludge must be disposed of by private contractors in private landfills on a yearly
basis. Landfilling and trucking costs have risen substantially over the past ten
years, and the high water content of the lime sludge has caused the Pollution
Control Agency to put additional restrictions on the disposal of the sludge.
Since 1970, the city has spent nearly $190,000 to remove and dispose of
the lime residue generated by the treatment plant process and each year, the
annual costs have tended to increase. For instance, the 1970 removal contract
cost $14,186 compared to the recently completed contract which cost $36,708.
The 1976 cost was 160% higher than the 1970 removal costs. The fact that
these costs have increased so greatly, together with the continuing increases
that we can expect in the future, supports the desirability of exploring alternative
sludge disposal methods.
Proposed Lime Sludge Study
The City of Bloomington operates a water treatment plant that is very
similar to Richfield's in terms of types and volume of sludge produced, and they
are facing the same types of problems in disposing of sludge as Richfield is
experiencing. Because of the similarity between the operation of the Bloomington
and Richfield water treatment plants, the staff has been exploring with the City
of Bloomington the possibility of engaging a consultant to analyze the current
sludge disposal methods and suggest alternative methods for intermediate and
long term sludge disposal.
Council Letter No. 49 -2- February 14, 1977
Proposals have been submitted by Metcalf and Eddy, nc. and Pfeifer
is and Shultz/HDR, Inc. for such a study. It is the opinion of the water
superintendent, public works director and the Bloomington staff that the
contract submitted by Metcalf and Eddy, Inc. is the best proposal received
for this study. A copy of the proposal received from Metcalf and Eddy, Inc. is
attached for council review.
In general the contract provides for:
A. Evaluation of Existing Facilities, Processes and Waste Characteristics
to determine kind and amount of sludge produced and review current
treatment processes for possible modifications that would reduce the
volume of sludge produced.
B. Define Standards and Design Criteria. Confer with appropriate federal,
state and local agencies as to standards and requirements relating to
water treatment plant wastes, treatment and disposal of solids.
C. Investigate Alternative Sludge Treatment and Disposal or Recovery
Processes. Conduct a preliminary screening of these alternatives,
including:
1. Controlled discharge of sludges to the sanitary sewage system
for treatment and ultimate disposal with the sewage sludge.
2. Spray application of thickened sludge to cropland and/or land
reclamation areas for soil conditioning.
3. Various dewatering methods for solids separation and concentration
in preparation for ultimate disposal or recovery of the solids.
4. Alternative methods for recovery or ultimate disposal of dewatered
sludge.
5. Ultimate disposal methods.
6. Other methods of treatment and recovery or disposal.
D. Conduct Detailed Investigation of Sludge Treatment and Disposal or
Recovery Processes. After the initial screening procedure the most
viable treatment and recovery or disposal processes will be selected
for detailed investigation. These processes will be evaluated taking
into consideration the impact of economy of scale if sludge from the
Eden Prairie Water Treatment Plant is to be treated.

E. Recommend A Sludge Treatment and Sludge Disposal or Recovery System
which will be made based on the results of evaluating alternative treat-

Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the public works director, in which I concur,
that the city council approve the following:
1. Authorize the proposed joint sludge disposal study in the amount
of $55, 000 with the cost to be equally shared between the cities
of Bloomington and Richfield
2. Request the city attorney to prepare an agreement for implementing

ARTICLE 2 SERVICES OF THE ENGINEER
2.1 General
2.1.1 The,Engineer will perform professional services
in 'connection with the Project as hereinafter
stated.
2.1.2 Thet Engineer will serve as the City's professional
..engineering representative in those phases of the
Pro;ject,to which this Agreement applies, and will
eorsult and advise the City and the City of Rich-
field during the performance of these services.
2.1.3 The, Engineer will provide the following profes-
I .
signal services to comprehensively evaluate various
treatment and disposal methods for treating sludge
k!.
producedllat the two water plants.
2.2 Evaluation of Existing Facilities, Processes and Waste
Characteristics
2.2.1 Review current water treatment processes and opera-
ting methods to determine if appropriate modifica-
tions could reduce the volume of sludge produced
without 'impair.ing the finished water quality.
2.2.2 If!required, supplement existing data on the charac-
teristics of the sludges produced'by the various
water plants. Required sampling and analyses pro-
grams would be developed by Metcalf & Eddy and car-
ried out by personnel of the City and/or the City
of!Richfield at laboratory facilities of the City
and/or the City of Richfield. Laboratory tests
which cannot be conducted by personnel of the
cities will be conducted by either a local labora-
tory or by the Engineer.
2.2.3 Prepare a solids inventory and.mass balance
throughout the treatment plants to'determne the
relationships between the parameters of plant flow,
raw water and finished water quality and chemical
dosages; prepare an estimate of the solids removed
by the treatment processes.
2.2.4 Determine quantities of sludges to be disposed of
for both the existing and future water treatment
facilities.
• 2.3 Standards and Design Criteria
2.3.1 Confer with appropriate Federal, State and local
agencies as to standards and requirements relating
to water treatment plant wastes, treatment and
-disposal of solids.
2.4 Alternative S1ud!;e Treat-ent and Disposal or Recovery
Processes
Investigate alternative processes for treatment
of water plant sludges, including possible modification
of existing water treatment processes such as an evalua-
tion of the Spiractor Softening System for reducing the
sludge volume and modifying the sludge characteristics.
Conduct a preliminary screening of possible waste

treatment and OisPosal methods includ
economic and general environmental considerations'for .
each of the alternative sludge disposal or recovery
processes. This screening will eliminate from consi-
deration those systems that prove infeasible.
The environmental considerations in selecting
the sludge processing, handling and disposal alterna-
tives will be limited to direct effects as determined
from readily available information and as related to
specific site development and utilization and those
will be determined based on engineering judgement.
Specifically, consideration will be given to wetlands,
floodplains,compatibility with surroundings, air quality
and groundwater quality. It is not intended that these
considerations fulfill the requirements of the.Minne-
sota Environmental Policy Act for an Environmental
Assessment report.
Maximum utilization will be made of previous
information developed by the cities of Bloomington and
Richfield and by others during the screening process.
Particular emphasis will be placed on determining what
effects the individual water plants will have on the
various systems evaluated, including the feasibility of
combining the sludges from both plants into a centrally
located recovery or disposal facility.

Those methods of sludge treatment and recovery
or ultimate disposal that would be considered during
the preliminary screening will include:
2.4.1 Controlled discharge of sludges to the sanitary
sewerage system for treatment and ultimate dis-
5
posal with the sewage sludge.. This will include
an evaluation of the impacts on the sanitary
sewerage system and wastewater treatment plant
considering hydraulic and solids loading and the
economics of ultimate sludge disposal. If approp-
riate, a determination will be made of the econo-
mies and operating procedure for a separate force
main to convey sludge to the wastewater plant for
treatment. and'ultimate disposal.
2.4.2 Spray application of thickened sludge to cropland
and/or land reclamation areas for soil condition-
ing. The environmental and other aspects of this
-procedure will be considered to determine the long
range effects of this procedure, in particular, the
possibility of heavy metals accumulation in the
soil. If land application by spraying is deter-
mined to be a viable alternative, various options
will be evaluated for transporting the thickened
sludge to the point.of application including; private
contract haulers.

be selected for detailed investigation. These processes
will be evaluated taking into consideration the impact
of economy of scale if sludge from the Eden Prairie Water
Treatment Plant is to be treated.
2..6 Pilot Testing
Every attempt will be made to make a final det-er-
mination of the recommended treatment and recovery or

Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Application for Waiver of Platting Procedures
Mr. Lundeen Bengston, 1707 East 89th Street, Bloomington has requested
that the city council waive the platting procedures for subdivision of land in
accordance with Section 3. 54, Subd. 5 of the city code. The applicant wishes
to subdivide a 110 foot by 133.8 foot lot at 6732 West Pleasant Avenue into
two substandard lots. Both new lots would be 55 feet by 133.8 feet.
Section 3.54 of the city code provides fore waiver of the platting procedures
for subdivisions when the subdivision will not interfere with the purpose of the
platting regulations. Exemption from the procedures must be granted by the city
council.
Staff Review
The staff finds the waiver of platting procedures in this instance justified
by the fact that a lot of record is proposed to be subdivided into two lots, and
no additional easements or public right-of-way will be needed. The city council
may waive compliance with platting procedures by adoption of a motion to
that effect.
Planning Commission Recommendation
At their February 22, 1977 meeting, the planning commission recommended
waiving the preliminary platting procedures for this simple land division.

Agenda February 28, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Variance to Residential Lot Size Request at 6732
West Pleasant Avenue
Mr. Bengston, 1707 E. 89th Street, is requesting a variance to the zoning
ordinance requirement Section 3. 57, subd. 1, which establishes the minimum
area of lots in plats or subdivision at 8, 000 square feet and the standard width
of said lots at 75 feet. A request for a variance must be judged in accordance
with the conditions set forth in Section 3.40, subd. 6, of the city code.
Mr. Bengston would like to divide the lot at 6732 West Pleasant into two
lots. The dimension of the lot is presently 110 x 133.8 feet. The applicant
proposes to divide this lot into two 55 x 133.8 foot lots. Each would have a lot
area of 7, 360 square feet. This division would create two substandard lots.
There is presently a substandard house at the back of the lot. This house would
be torn down.
Staff RA ViPV,7
The application has been reviewed in accordance with the following conditions:
(1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the
particular land, building or use referred to in the application, not
common to other properties in this or similcir district.
It is the opinion of the staff that a special. circumstance does exist on this property
which is not common to other properties in this or similar districts. The special
condition is the size of the lot in question. This lot has over twice the area and
width of the median lot size on West Pleasant Avenue between 66th Street and 69th
Street.
(2) That the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property rights.
Council Letter No. 70 -2- February 28, 1977
It is the opinion of the staff that the granting of this variance is necessary
for the preservation of substantial property rights. Tf the variance were not
granted and the lot was not divided, the applicant would not be financially
able to remove the substandard non-conforming house and construct only one
new home.
(3) That the granting of the application will not materially and
adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working
in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood.
Of the 23 parcels fronting on West Pleasant Avenue between 66th Street and 69th
Street, the median width and area of these lots is 50 feet and 6, 500 square feet.
Because of the prevailing lot sizes the granting of the application will not
materially and adversely affect the health, safety and public welfare of persons
residing in the neighborhood.
It is the recommendation of the staff that the variance be granted as all
three conditions were met.
P1-Inning Commission Recommendation
The request for a variance was considered by the planning commission at
their February 22, 1977 meeting. The planning commission reviewed the request
for the three conditions which must be present. The planning commission voted
to recommend granting of the variance to allow development of two substandard
lots 55' x 133.8'.

A CIYY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of. City Manager
Council Letter No. 69
Agenda February 28, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
an d
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Review and Consideration of Significant State and
Federal Legislative Issues
The purpose of this council letter is to provide information on state and
federal legislative issues which are significant and have an effect on the City
of Richfield. Some of these items are included solely for information purposes.
In other instances, the council may wish to adopt a specific policy position
to communicate to our legislators.
Tree Removal Licensing
Attached to this letter is a model ordinance prepared by the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities, providing for regulation and licensing of tree removal
and treatment. Because of the growing incidence of tree diseases, and the state
1<iw providing that diseased trees must be removed within 20 days of disease
-.Ictection, numerous tree removal and treatment services have recently gone into
business. Some legislators have suggested a mandatory license process, but
it is the position of the AMM that such regulation is a local prerogative. The'
model ordinance is submitted for council review and discussion.
Taxation of. Iaorne Improvements
A bill has recently been proposed in the state legislature that would put a
-moratorium on the taxing of all home improvements. The only stipulation on
N7" the bill is that the homesteaded structure must be five years old or older, and
e
the improvement must not increase the square footage of the structure itself.
S? A ropy of the proposed bill is attached. Senator Benedict has asked that the
city council consider this proposed legislation and advise him of any reaction
or support which the city council might wish to provide.
911 Financing
01 Council members received sorne information regarding the 911 financing
proposal at the February 14, 1977 meeting. As you will recall, the financing
Council Leiter No. 69 -2- February 28, 1977
recommendation prepared provides for the basic 911 operating service cost to
be paid for by state collected tax funds. This proposed financing proposal
received approval and support from the LMC Board of Directors at our meeting
earlier this week. It is also being considered by other municipalities and
generally receiving favorable consideration.
It is recommended that the city council adopt a policy statement supporting
this method of funding basic 911 operating services.
Association of Metropolitan Municipalities Board Vacancies
There are two vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities. Both vacancies are for unexpired terms with one
term expiring May 31, 1977 and the other expiring May 31, 1978. The Board of
Directors will be filling these vacancies at their March 3 meeting in accordance
with the Association by-laws.
The board is soliciting recommendations from member municipalities which
can be. considered in making these appointments. A very important function of
the AMM Board relates to reviewing, recommending and adopting policy positions
with respect to legislation affecting local governments in the Twin City area.
The Association also works to maintain significant. relationships between local
government and the Metropolitan Council.
Inasmuch as the City of Richfield does not presently have a representative on
the board, this matter is being presented for council consideration with the thought
that the city council may wish to suggest the name of a council member for appoint-
ment consideration to one of the two unexpired terms.
Vacancy on Technical Advisory Committee
There is a technical advisory committee which consists of professional staff
members (city engineers, planners and public works directors) which provides
technical assistance and makes recommendations to the transportation advisory
board. One of the most important functions of the transportation advisory board
and, consequently, the technical advisory committee, is to determine priorities
for funding federal aids to urban highway projects in the seven county metropol-
itan area.
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities appoints six members to the
technical advisory committee. At the present time there is a vacancy and inasmuch
as Richfield is not represented, it is suggested that we place the name of Dick
Krier, Planning Director, in nomination for the appointment. It is anticipated that
the AMM Board will make this appointment at their March 3 board meeting.
Respectfully sub tted,
Wayne S. Burggraa f
VVSB/eja City Maneger
ORDINANCE NO. XXX
An ordinance regulating and licensing the removal and treatment
of trees and providing penalty for violation thereof.
The city council of ordains:
Sec. 1. License Required. It shall be unlawful
for any individual, partnership or corporation to conduct as a
business the cutting, trimming, pruning, removal, spraying or
otherwise treating of trees, shrubs or vines in the city with-
out first having secured a license from the city to conduct such
business.
Sec. 2. License' Recuirenents.
(a) Aeplication. Application for a license under
this ordinance shall be made at the office of the City Clerk of
the city.
(b); Application For:. The application for a license
shall be made on a form approved by the city which shows, among
other things, the name and address of the applicant, the number
and names of the employees of the applicant, the number of vehicles
of,applicant, together with a description and license number of
each, and the type of equipment proposed to be used.
(c) Liability Insurance. No license or renewal shall
be granted, nor shall the same be effective, until the applicant
shall file with the City Clerk proof of a public liability in-
surance policy covering all operations of such applicant under

t
this ordinance for the'sum of at least fifty thousand dollars
($50,000) against liability for bodily injuries or death for
each person, for'the sum of at least one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000) against liability for bodily injuries or death to more
I"
than one person from one accident and for at least ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) against liability for damage or destruction of
property. Th'e city shall be named and the insurance provided

(10) days' written notice to the city, and if
so cancelled and the licensee shall fail to re-
th another policy conforming to the pz-ovision_=
said license shall be automatically suspended
Circe shall have been replaced.
Comment: The liability insurance coverages used on
the above',paragraph are only a suggestion baEed on
inspection of various existing ordinances and in
amounts which seem reasonable to adequately cover
an accident. The range of insurance requirements
in other ordinances vary from $25,000/$50,000/.$5,000
to $100,000/$300,0001$50,000. I-lost reputable con-
tractors and businesses normally carry liability
insu,ance'in excess of the lower limit. It is
suggested-,that where cities require liability in-
suraNce in other license ordinances the same limits
might be used for consistency.
Comment Additional protection may be desirsd by
the 'city in the form of a surety bond to ensure
agail:nst faulty workmanship and liens and provide
-2-
i
S
•
t
another remedy in addition to license revocation.
If a city.desires this additional protection the
bond amount should be nominal, otherwise the cost
to the applicant might be prohibitive. Suggested
language follows:
Bond. Before being allowed to engage in
business, the applicant shall give a twenty
five hundred dollar ($2,,500) bond to the
city which shall be approved in form and
as to security by the city.
0
•
(d) Workmen's Compensation Insurance'. Each license
applicant shall file with the City Clerk a Certificate of Insur-
ance of Workers' Compensation when such insurance is required by
State Statute.
(e) Chemical Treatment Requirements. Applicants
who propose to use chemical substances in any activity related to
treatment or disease control of trees, shrubs or vines shall file
with the City.Clerk proof that the applicant or an employee of the
applicant administering such treatment has been certified. by the
Agronomy Division of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture as
a "commercial pesticide applicator". Such certification shall
include knowledge of tree disease chemical treatment.
Comment: Certification by the Agronomy Division
is mandatory by the state for commercial pesticide
applicators. To be so certified, a commercial
applicator probably has some knowledge of forestry
and completed course work sponsored by the state on
shade tree disease treatment but not necessarily.
-3-
.Therefore, the last sentence requires this knowl-
edge. Currently state regulations do not require
the individual applying chemicals to be certified,
but someone in the firm who need not be on site.
Clause (e) as written requires the actual applica-
tor to be certified. When not specifically denied,
cities usually may enforce requirements more strict
than`the state, as is suggested in this clause. It
is possible that a commercial firm could challenge
thisauthority. The courts decide these types of
issues on their judgment of legislative intent to
preempt the field. On examination of the legisla-
tion,-it does not appear to suggest such an intent
and, therefore, the city would probably win.
(f). Fees. The annual license fee shall be the sum
of dollars ($ ) with the license year being from
January 1 to December 31 of each year.
>°t?^::•?•a!•;a'i•)!':':F?Fi-?'r:Fa':i'R•i.•fi?•?':'.._•': i.•kxt?•?(-
Comment: The most common fee encounu'ered :.7as
$25.00; however, this should be consistent r;ith
other such fees charged by the city.

Sec. 3. Pena 14-y. ? ny person violating any provisi n
of this ordiance shall, upon conviction, be fined not to exceed
one hundred dollars ($100.00).
Comment: If the penalty includes a possible
jail confinement, the violator has an option
to request a jury trial. By providing only
a fine penalty, a jury trial is normally
precluded.

Richfield MN 55423
Dear City Council Members:
I am enclosing for your review and comment a copy of a bill
that would put a moratorium on the taxing of all home improvements.
This bill is coauthored and supported by the Chairman of the
Tax Committee, Chairman of the Housing Committee, and
Chairman of the Energy Committee. The only stipulation on
the bill is that the homesteaded structure must be five years old
or older, and the improvement must not increase the square
footage of the structure itself. As a state we must stop
discouraging the upgrading of residential property, including
desperately needed energy saving improvements.
The first Senate hearing will be taking place this month, and
if you have any comment, I would very much like to include
your input into the hearing record.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
G ? l1G'

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the state of Minnesota is currently involved in a severe
energy shortage; and
WHEREAS, a critical need for moderate income housing is projected
for at least the next two decades; and
WHEREAS, it is far less costly to encourage citizens to upgrade
existing housing than it is to government to attempt
to rennovate neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, it is essential that the State stop discouraging people
from improving their own property .
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of
does hereby support the concept of Senate File 103
that would put a moratorium on the taxing of home
improvements as long as the square footage living area
was not increased and the property is five or more years old.

The 911 telephone system for the metropolitan seven-county area;has
been developed through a planning process that included a 911 planning group
from each county. These groups individually developed, with the assistance
of a consultant, an operational plan for each county. These county oper-
ational plans were translated into technical specifications for a 911 tele-
phone system for the seven-county area by the consultant.
The consultant combined the seven separate county plans in such a way
as to reach an optimum design for the entire area which should provide the
greatest service at the lowest cost.
This position paper is the result of a joint effort of representatives
from each of the-seven counties working as an ad hoc task force (see at
tachment). It is intended that this.paper serve as a common understanding
that will be reported to the appropriate county and local officials. It
is also intended that this position paper serve as the basis of seeking
legislative authority to fund the 911 telephone system.
ASSUMPTIONS
1. A 911 telephone system will be mandated for the state.
2. Eventually, 911 will be used throughout the state as the number
to call to obtain emergency assistance.
3. Capital costs for the equipment necessary to implement the 911
system will be paid for with state and/or federal assistance.
4. Although county and municipal governments may be willing and
able to finance certain local recurring costs associated with
this service, the financing capability of local government is
extremely limited and state financial assistance will be sought
to support certain telephone system network costs.
t
i, -2-
f
i
5. It is likely that local units of government and telephone sub-
scriber will experience some increased costs for telephone
servicejwith the implementation of 911.
FACTS BEARING ON THE ISSUE
1. The geographical boundaries of the various political subdivi
sions ini the metropolitan area do not correspond with the tele-
phone e?change:,boundaries.
2. A greatlnumber'of these political entities have their own public
safety agencies which require immediate notification of requests
for service.
3. Because #ese communities are contiguous, it is possible that
a person needing emergency assistance may not know which com-
munity he is in or which public safety agency should be called
to obtaijn service.
4. It'is necessary to provide a telephone system whereby a call
to request service will automatically be routed to the proper
public safety answering point that can either provide the ser-
vice requested'or, as in the case of ambulance service in Hen- •
nepin County, extend the call to the appropriate agency without
requiring a caller to re-dial
5. Telephone companies operating in the state of Minnesota do not
pay a local property tax. Instead, they pay a gross earnings
.tax to the state of Minnesota.
DISCUSSION
The 911 configuration that has been recommended is an optimum design
for the metropolitan area. It is recommended because through the sharing
of common elements;the overall cost is lower and the system will serve
the,,needs of the entire metropolitan area equally.
The complexities of this areawide system make it virtually impossible
to allocate a fair share of the costs to each public safety answering
point. For example', it is not possible to equitably determine who bene-
fits from a particy',l?ar trunking arrangement, or a trunking arrangement
may be recommended which dictates additional telephone lines being routed
to a particular public c-safety answering point, which in turn, however,
produces a greater eduction in the overall trunking costs for the entire
metropolitan area. II',

CONCLUSIONS
1 'A definition of the basic 911 service to be provided statewide
i
should be adopted.. Such a definition should be expressed in
operational terms rather than technical specifications.
2. The basic level of service for the metropolitan area is by-defi-
nition the same as the basic level of service for the rest of
the state. However, the complexity of the system trunking and
the sophistication of the telephone equipment in the metropolitan
area are likely to be greater than out state.
3. It is anticipated that as the units of government increase in
population and density, the telephone trunking and equipment
needed to deliver basic 911 service will increase.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That "Basic 911 Service" for the state of Minnesota is defined
as: An emergency response system whereby it is possible for a
person anywhere in the state of Minnesota to dial 911 and be
connected directly to a public safety answering center which
serves the area from which he is calling and which has the ability
to either directly dispatch the appropriate public safety ser-
vice, extend the call or directly relay the request to the ap-
propriate responding agency. (If individual counties and/or
municipalities elect to dispatch some of their emergency services
from a location or locations other than a public safety answering
center, the telephone trunking and equ,ipment necessary to extend
the calls are not considered part of the basic service.)
2. That the recurring costs of the telephone network and equipment
that are necessary, to provide this "basic service" be paid for
by state-collected tax funds.
3. That the telephone termination equipment at the public safety
answeringpoint will be paid for by the governmental unit oper-
ating the public safety answering point.
4. That a governmental unit desiring a level of service greater
than the basic service, as herein defined, is expected to pay
all costs of such additional service.
5. That the state should look to the tax on telephone company gross
earnings as a source of revenue for the recurring 911 basic sys-
tem costs. (It is understood that the.gross earnings tax pro-
duces approximately 34 million dollars of revenue annually and
k
f
I
.that the anticipated natural growth of this tax revenue each
year will,,more than cover the projected annual cost of basic
911 service for the state.)
6. That any legislation which mandates 911 throughout the state
include a'provision describing the method the state.will use

Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Bicentennial Committee Civic Space Marker Project
Last summer, the Bicentennial Commission received a $1,000 grant
from the Minnesota American Revolution Bicentennial Committee. This
grant was for the purpose of designing a marker for a Richfield Civic Space,
to be tentatively located in the L/H/N redevelopment area. These grant
monies require a $1 , 000 match of city funds. The $2 , 000 has been set
aside in a project account from the Bicentennial Committee's 1976 city
general fund appropriation.
i The Bicentennial Committee has received a proposal for the preparation
of the design and working drawings of the civic space marker. Represent-
atives of the committee have reviewed the proposal and support proceeding
with this project. The designer has also met on a preliminary basis with
the planning director and the L/H/N project consultant to discuss the re-
lationship between the civic space concept and the overall redevelopment
project. When the design is completed, it will be possible to schedule
construction and installation of the marker in accordance with the L/H/N
project.
An agreement for the purchase of design services for the civic space
marker has been prepared. It is recommended that the city council authorize
the mayor and city manager to execute this agreement.

Council Letter No. 65
Agenda February 28, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization
to Request Bids on City Project No. 686
On the February 28, 1977 city council agenda there is a resolution which
will provide for city council approval of plans and specifications, and author-
ization to take bids for City Project No. 686, the 1977 permanent street improve-
ment project. The council is being requested to adopt the resolution approving
the plans and specifications for street paving, ornamental street lighting and
sod restoration and tree planting for Districts 12 and 14A. The resolution would
also authorize the city manager to call for bids on these three components of
the project.
Background Information
The 1977 permanent street project covers Districts 12 and 14A. District 12
includes that area bounded on the north by the 62nd Street Crosstown, east by
west Pleasant Avenue north of 66th Street and south of 66th Street by Lyndale
Avenue, on the south by 66th Street from West Pleasant Avenue to Lyndale Avenue
and on the west by I-35W. District No. 14A (Rich Acres) includes that area
bounded on the north by East 68th Street, on the east by 21st Avenue, on the
south by East 69th Street and on the west by State Highway No. 36. This area
also includes the East Service Road, State Highway No. 36 from East 68th
Street to East 66th Street.
As was indicated in Council Memorandum No. 33, dated February 18, 1977,
it will be necessary to delay District No. 15, the paving of Lyndale Avenue from
Lake Shore Drive to 74th Street, until completion of the north portion of Lyndale
Avenue. This delay is necessary in order to obtain FAU grant funds for the
improvement work on Lyndale Avenue between 67th Street and 62nd Street Crosstown.
On June 14, 1976 the city council ordered preparation of engineering reports
for the street paving program in Districts 12, 14A and 15. On July 26, 1976 the
council. received those engineering reports and confirmed the date of hearing on
the 1977 permanent street improvements and the consulting engineers were authorized
Council Leiter No. 65 -2- February 28, 1977
and directed to proceed with the final survey work and preparation of plans and
specifications. On September 22, 1976, the public works director and his staff
met with residents in the project districts to discuss and review the plans. On
September 27, 1976 the city council held a public hearing and adopted a resol-
ution authorizing the 1977 permanent street improvement project except for
District No. 14A. Authorization for this district, known as "Rich Acres", was
deferred until representatives of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency could
be present to discuss the implication of PCA noise standards on this residential
area. On December 13, 1976, the hearing on the project for District 14A was
concluded, and a resolution was adopted authorizing the improvement.
The final plans and specifications for City Project No. 686 have been com-
pleted and reviewed by the public works director. The total estimated construction
costs for permanent paving, ornamental street lighting, turf establishment and
plant installation and appurtenances thereto for District No. 12 is $723,600, and
for District No. 14A it is $176, 600. These estimates include indirect costs such
as plan preparation and construction supervision, as well as actual construction
costs. The attached resolution would authorize the staff to call for separate bids
on permanent street construction, ornamental street lighting and sod restoration,
including tree replacement.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the council approve the plans and specifications for
is the permanent street paving, ornamental street lighting, and sod restoration and
tree replacement for City Project No. 686. It is further recommended that the city
council authorize the city manager to call for bids for the permanent street paving,
ornamental street lighting, and sod restoration and tree replacement. April 1 ,
1977 has been tentatively scheduled as the day on which these bids would be
received.

The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Authorization to Call for Bids
On the February 28, 1977 city council agenda there is an item requesting
authorization to call for bids for the procurement of a vacuum street sweeper
and a hydraulic sewer cleaner.
Vacuum Street Sweeper
The purchase of the vacuum street sweeper is a scheduled replacement
• of a fully depreciated sweeper currently owned by the city. Recent advance-
ments in sweeper technology have made it possible to combine vacuum and
brush cleaning action to provide faster and more efficient street sweeping.
The purchase of this unit will allow the city to conduct one-man continuous
sweeping operations throughout the city. The sweepers currently owned by
the city require two men crews for sweeping operations, one man to drive
the sweeper and another man to follow in a truck, collecting the rubbish
swept from the streets. One man sweeping operations are especially import-
ant in light of position reductions scheduled in the street division in 1977,
due to budget limitations. ltg4 000,
Hydraulic Sewer Cleaner
The hydraulic sewer cleaner utilizes a high pressure water jet to remove
debris from sewer lines. The major advantages of the hydraulic sewer cleaner
are its speed and adaptability. Because the hydraulic rodder is faster than the
mechanical models, it will strengthen Richfield's sewer maintenance program.
Furthermore, because the machine uses water as its principle cleaning agent,
damage to sewer lines is reduced. The hydraulic sewer cleaner may also be
used for cleaning hydrants, sign posts, and other metal surfaces.

0 Recommendation
Funds for both of these purchases are included in the 1977 central
garage and sewer utility budgets. It is therefore the recommendation of the
Public Works Director, in which I concur, that the city council authorize
the call for bids for purchase of one vacuum street sweeper and one hydraulic
sewer cleaner.
