CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 28
Agenda January 24, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Report on Public Recreation Swimming Program
The purpose of this council letter is to provide council members with a
report on the winter public recreational swimming program which was initiated
on an experimental basis January 4, 1977 and to review the need to establish
user fees for the summer use of West Junior High School pool.
,• On December 13, 1976 the city council approved a public recreational
• swimming program on an experimental basis for the months of January and
February, 1977. The program involves rental of both the East and West Junior
High School pools with swimming to be offered on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and on Sunday afternoons.
The public recreational swimming program has been publicized by the
following methods:
1. A front page story in the Richfield Sun on December 1.5, 1976.
(Copy attached) .
2. A notice included in the most recent city quarterly report which
was mailed to all city addresses in the City of Richfield on
December 31, 1976. (Copy attached) .
3. Elementary school children were provided copies of the notice
and encouraged to take these copies home for use by all interested
in the swimming ,program. (Copy attached) .
im
Notices were posted at.all city facilities, including warming houses,
and at many local businesses. The program was also publicized by
the ice arena sign for a week before the program started.
5. The program was also mentioned in the Suburban- _Repoxts.
program on January 4, 1977.
Council Letter No. 28 -2- January 24,1977
Attached is a statistical report indicating the experience for the open
swimming
program since January 4. The following conclusions can be drawn
from the
figures on the report:
1.
A total of 18 hours of public recreational swimming have been
provided during the period January 4 through January 23.
2.
There have been a total of 463 admissions representing an
•
average.26 swimmers per hour.
3.
There have never been a sufficient number of swimmers at any
of the swimming sessions to cover the cost of pool rental and
'
personnel to provide the, swimming program.
4.
It has been necessary for the city to sU,.- '_,d1i'ze th`. cost by
an ay.�rar, e of $15 per two hour ses:310 r :,d t'Rat an avarage, 52
people (average 26 per ho�:r) could enjoy c j :> n n crcationdl
swimming.
5.
On the basis of experience thus far it is estimated 'i-h.at the exper-
imental public recreational swimming p,ogram during the months of
January and February will not be self - sl.lstaining and, that it will be
necessary to subsi.diz , the program by an estimaied $353 during
•
this two month period.
We will continue to monitor this program and provide another report at the end
of February.
Council members will recall that the public recreational swimming program
which the city offered at West junior High pool in the summer of 1976 required
an estimated expenditure of over $13,000 over and above user fees collected.
When the 1977 budget was adopted, funds were not included in the budget to
provide for a major subsidy of public recreational swimming at West Junior. High
School pool in the summertime. Therefore, it is recommended that the city council
request the city manager and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission to de-
velop a proposed fee structure for swimming this summer which will permit the city
to continue to provide the swimming program at the city pool on a self- supporting
basis and to .also provide public recreational swimming at West Junior High pool
on a self- supporting basis.

Dear Mr. Burggraaff:
Government as a whole is often confusing to the average citizen. However, to
many citizens one part of goverment is often frightening. To those who have
had no previous exposure to it, the criminal justice system itself becomes a
threat because it is unknown.
,•
. I am writing to ask that you and your City Council join with me to sponsor an
open forum on criminal justice in your campinity. It is my fizm belief that-
, prevention must accompany prosecution if we are to effectively combat the national
trend of increasing crime. By sponsoring an open meeting in your comunity, we
will give local residents the opportunity to learn what criminal justice programs
are available, to discuss crime prevention methods and to ask any questions which
may ccue to mind.
I, along with key members of my staff, would be available at your convenience for
an informal public forum, possibly to be held in your municipal building. We
would welcome the opportunity to organize this effort jointly with your police
department. I have asked my Executive Secretary, Bjarnie An3erson, (348-4432),
to coordinate scheduling. Please do not hesitate to call him or me directly should
.you have any glues tions on the form.
I appreciate your continuing efforts on behalf of local law enforcement. Best
personal regards.

Subject: L /H /N Public Improvement Right -of -Way Acquisition
C>n November 29, 1976, the city council and the HRA held a public hearing
for the public improvements in the L /H /N area, and authorized the project.
At that time, the city council also authorized initiation of negotiations for
acquisition of the needed right -of -way. However, the appraisals for all the
rights -of -way had not been completed and the city council deferred establishing
just compensation until the appraisals were received.
MWe have now received two appraisals from independent appraisers (Janski
and Gibson and Mr. Vern Anderson) for the property occupied by Nelson's
Restaurant. It is recommended that the city council adopt the attached
resolution establishing just compensation in the amount of $260, 000.

Agenda January 24, 1977
Mrs. Gertrude Ulrich, the current chairperson of the Richfield Bicentennial
Committee, has requested opportunity to appear before the city council at the
January 24, 1977 meeting to present a final report on the projects undertaken by
the Bicentennial Committee during 1976. A written report summarizing those
activities and including the year -end financial statement for the committee is

YEAR -END REPORT OF THE RICHFIELD BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE
FOR THE 1976 BICENTENNIAL YEAR
As members of the Richfield City Council are aware, the Richfield
Bicentennial Committee was first formed in April, 1975. This committee
has met at least once each month since then with numerous other subcommittee
and task force meetings held to plan specific activities.
The committee scheduled three major celebrations during the 1976
Bicentennial Year. The council has previously received reports describing
the Spring Festival, held in April, and the Summer Festivities, a week -long
series of events centered around the 4th of July. It is the purpose of this
report to summarize the Fall Activities, and to bring the council up -to -date
on the status of the "Project of Lasting Significance".
The Fall Bicentennial Events began on October 4, 1976 with "Richfield
Days at the Government Center". Monday through Friday of that week the Rich-
field High School band, .choirs, and dance lines presented noon -time performances
in the visitors area of the Hennepin County Government Center. The first day
activities were highlighted by presentation of the Richfield City Flag to Hennepin
County Commissioner Tom Ticen. In addition to these special activities at noon
t� each day, the Wood Lake Nature Center and the Richfield Public Safety Department
• :; had on -going displays throughout the week. One additional highlight of Richfield
Days at the Government Center was a display of paintings by Carl Boeckmann,
a Norwegian artist who painted the scenes around him in the Richfield area in
the late 1800's and early 1900's..
The next Fall Bicentennial activity, a tour of historic Richfield homes, was
undertaken as a joint project between the Richfield Bicentennial Committee and
the Richfield Historical Society. The tour was held on Sunday afternoon,
October 10, 1976. In addition to the tour itself, this project resulted in the
compilation of a booklet with historical data regarding several Richfield home-
steads. This booklet is available from the Richfield Historical._ Society.
The major activity of the Fall schedule was the Richfield Town Meeting,
held on October 16, 1976. The purpose of the Town Meeting was to provide an
opportunity for all Richfield residents to meet together and identify the challenges
and needs of the community while outlining programs and proposals to meet those
needs. A lunch was provided to all participants, donated by local businesses.
Various community groups provided training leaders who helped direct the
discussion and recommendations. The Town Meeting participants observed that
a continuing major need in Richfield is to encourage increased participation in
community affairs. The Town Meeting organizors will be holding follow -up
Year -End Report
Page 2
meetings to establish more specific proposals to address this and other issues
identified at the October Town Meeting. The Town Meeting also resulted in a
written report which documents the concerns and enthusiasm of the participants.
The final Fall Event was a Fine Arts Festival held on October 22, 23, and 24.
This event premitted various Richfield artists to display their work in an informal
open -house type of setting in the Richfield Community Center.
The one remaining project of the Bicentennial Committee is the "Project of
Lasting Significance". The Richfield Bicentennial Committee in early 1976
applied to the Minnesota Bicentennial Commission for a state grant to help
finance a Richfield civic space marker. In the late summer of 1976, the Bicen-
tennial Committee received a $1, 000 grant from the state for the project. A
project fund has been established with this grant money and with $1,000 in
matching city funds from the Bicentennial Committee's 1976 appropriation.
The Bicentennial Committee is particularly concerned that the civic space
be established in the L /H /N area and be included as part of the overall L /H /N
redevelopment project. The Bicentennial Committee feels that it would be
• appropriate to associate the L /H /N redevelopment and renewal with the
Bicentennial. Because of the limited funds available for the civic space marker,
it appears that the design of the marker will be the only portion of the project
to be completed with the present funds available. However, the Bicentennial
Committee has recently learned that the National Foundation for the Arts may
have some grant funds available for projects such as our proposed civic space
marker. The committee will be contacting the National Foundation to explore
the possibility of preparing a grant application for federal funds which would
help with the actual fabrication of the civic space marker. '
The Bicentennial Committee has contacted a graphic designer to suggest
possible designs for the civic space marker which would also tie in with the
L /H /N project. Once the committee has selected a possible design, the
committee recommendation will be forwarded to the city council, the HRA and
the planning commission.
The attached financial statement shows the 1976 year -end summary of the
Bicentennial Committee budget. The expenditure figures include the transfer of
$1 , 000 to a project fund for the civic space marker.
Respectfully submitted,
• Gertrude Ulrich, Chairman

Office of City Manager
Council Letter No. 23
Agenda January 24, 1977
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Subject: Study of Richfield's Data Processing System
In June, 1976 the city council approved an agreement with Tntech, Tnc.
to provide computer consulting services for the City of Richfield. The agree-
ment provided for the work to be performed in the following three areas:
1. Phase I: An analysis of the system requirements to determine
the need for new equipment and to explore alternative methods
t
of providing data processing services.
• 2. Phase II: Preparation of technical bid specifications to be
used in obtaining equipment to replace existing data process-
ing equipment.
3. Phase III: Analysis and recommendation on the award of bids
for new equipment.
Phase I work has been completed. A copy of the report prepared by Mr.
Dewey Albers of Intech, Inc. was distributed to the city council at the special
council meeting on Monday, January 17.
A summary of the consultant's recommendations may be found on page 5
and 6 of the consultant's report. A possible schedule for implementation is
shown on page 6A. Briefly, the consultant makes the following recommendations:
1. - The city should replace existing equipment.
2. The city should seriously explore purchasing certain data processing
. services from LOGIS and perform remaining services with city staff.
3. The city should authorize preparation of technical bid specifications
_in such a way so that the city will have the option of selecting a
• large computer for completely in -house services or purchasing
services from LOGIS and performing remaining in -house services
on a mini - computer.
Council Letter No. 23 -2- January 24, 1977
The city user's committee repot supports the findings and recommendations
of the consultant. The user committee memorandum is included in the report
document as Exhibit C. The finance director and I have reviewed the report,
discussed it with the consultant and met with LOGIS representatives and
concur in the consultant's recommendations.
Therefore, it is recommended that the city council receive and approve
the recommendations contained in the Phase I report and authorize the consultant
to proceed with Phase II which involves the preparation of technical bid
specifications.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office of City Manager
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
City of Richfield
Gentlemen:
Council Letter No. 21
Agenda January 24, 1977
Subject,- Feasibility Study for Bandshell and Picnic Shelter
At the March 18, 1976 city council hearing on the proposed 1976 - 81
Capital Improvement Program, the council discussed the nead for a feasibility
study to analyze the desirability of building a bandshell and picnic shelter at
Augsburg Park. The 1976 - 81 C.I.P. adopted by the city council provided
funding for such a feasibility study.
At the April 26, 1976 city council meeting, the city manager submitted a
. recommendation for an agreement between. Richard Schwarz and Associates and
the City of Richfield for the performance of this study. Subsequent to council
approval of the agreement, Mr. Richard Schwarz conducted this study and
submitted a' preliminary report to the Richfield Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission on November 9, 1976.
At the October 13, 1976 Park and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting,
the commission discussed the 1977 - 82 Capital Improvement Program. At that
time, the commission took action recommending deletion of the $47,000 currently
scheduled for 1977 for construction of a bandshell and picnic shelter in Augsburg
Park. After receiving the feasibility study, the Park and Recreation Commission
discussed the proposed bandshell project again at the December 14, 1976
commission meeting. At that meeting, the commission amended its original
recommendation to recommend the delay of the bandshell and picnic shelter
concept in Augsburg Park until the 1980 Capital Improvement Program year,
when further discussion could be held.
Mr. Schwarz submitted his written report in early January. The report
summarizes the studies he made regarding the feasibility of constructing a
building or structure which could -be used as both a picnic shelter and a band-
shell. The report outlines both alternatives for the building itself, and also
discusses the feasibility of the city for having to both plan and program
Council Letter No. 21 -2- January 24, 1977
continuing community use of such a facility. After receiving the written
report, the Park and Recreation Commission at their January 11 , 1977 meeting
again agreed to continue with its present recommendation for deferral of the
bandshell and picnic shelter project until at least 1980.
A copy of the feasibility study report is attached for council review. Mr.
Schwarz, the consultant who prepared this report, will be available at the
January 24, 1977 city council meeting.
I strongly concur with the recommendation of the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission. Due to limited funds and the need to reconsider priorities
for such items as initiating a reforestation program, the bandshell project takes
on a very low priority. Therefore, it is recommended that the report be received
and held in abeyance until such time as the need for a bandshell can be reassessed
in accordance with the 1980 Capital Improvern, nt Program.
Respectfully submitted,

FEASIBILITY STUDY
COMBINED"' BA DS LL AND PICNIC SHELTER
RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS STUDY
The purpose of this study is to determine the structural and cost feasibility
for the construction of a single facility to be used as both a stage for per -
forming musical, dance and theatre groups, as well as a shelter for picnics
and multi - purpose uses; to assess the needs of the coriyriuniiy for this type of
facility; to project %he uses that might be made and to address the staff and
equipment requirements to program, and control the programs that might be
offered.
The study reports on the following research undertaken to reach the recommenda-
tions which follow:
1. Investigation of facilities and programs in other communities within the
metropolit�aun area.
2. Site selection criteria for various uses and resolution of the conflicts
between them.
t . 3. Determination of performance criteria for the structure.
4. Investigation of various areas within Augsburg Park, and other parks
within the city of Richfield-as a site for a combined performance center/
picnic area.
5. Synthesis of the research and general recommendations.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMING IN OTHER COMMUNITIES
Several communities in the Twin City Metropolitan Area have made provisions
by band and orchestra concerts, and several have community bands.
The most visible programming is that done by the Minneapolis Park and Recrea-
tion Department primarily at the bandshel7 at Lake Harriet, although they have
substantial decentralized programs in other parks. Minneapolis has one prof-
essional program staff member who devotes full time to musical and arts pro -
gramning plus additional support from other staff. Tiro of the volunteer bands
that perform in Minneapolis programs are the Police Band, and the Post Office
Band which recci e support from the organizations t1ey represent.
Edina, has a •city band with fully voluntary leadership and musicians., ;Although
they are considered a great asset to the conmiunity, and are included in the
park programming efforts; they are specifically budgeted only the extent of
approximately $200.00 per year, which is used primarily for purchase of music.
The band programs in various park areas in a portable trailer mounted "band
shell" equipped with lighting and sound equipment which was donated to the city
by a community service club several years ago. Perfe:- mances draw audiences
primarily over 20" years old.
Excelsior-dedicated a new bandshell constructed for less than $15,000.00 on
July 4 1976. During this past year, progranarni ng has been done primarily by
I°
the Minnetonka Community Services Department, an agency funded by several lake
area communities which are served by the Minnetonka Schoold District, and by the
district itself. Additional programming is handled by the Minnetonka Concert
i
i
page 4 i
Association, a fully volunteer organization. A variety of performing groups
-have used the facility in`its first season, and it is generally.seen as an
asset to the areal.
The Minnetonka ar'a is also served by a volunteer civic orchestra led by Roger
el , vahi h gives outdoor concerts usiDo portabl � acous iical shells.
White Bear Lake w s given`an antique rased gazebo bandshelI several years ago,
which was reconstructed and. restored V rough donations. All. programme: erg i s

The Robbinsdale City Band is another totally volunteer community band that is
included,in the city's recreational.programming, but not specifically supported
in city budget.

POTENTIAL PROGRAMMING COSTS
Although arts programming does not appear as such in the budgets of many of
the communities that we talked to, obviously the communities have absorbed
certain costs for the events held. Richfield must.consider their indirect
costs addition to specific program support if they choose to commit the city
to concert programming.
Maintenance Cost - Personnel required to set LIP for performances and clean
up following the ,events . Additional mai ntenar:ce of new facilities.
Utility Costs - Power for lighting and sound equipment; heat, eater and
sewer.-costs .i-f .toilets. are included _in .the :Tiew__f- acil_itiese_..
°
On-site control..,. personnel for new facilities or extended use of existing
facilities.
Programming Staff - may require additional part or full time professional
staff to create programs in this new direction.
■ Clerical staff as required for scheduling, fees, and program staff support.
° Police support in prevention of vandalism, security, and crowd and traffic
control during public €,rents.
Insurance as)d Li abi l i ty
All of the same sources of indirect cost would be attributable to picnic
shelter Use with °the exception of the treed for programming staff. The required
funding levels; however, would be significantly lower.
page '6
It is impossible to predict with any certainty what these costs would'be
without laying out a complete annual budget for the department, and without
making specific.program ' propos'als. We can`, however, project that the creation
of sufficient use of a new performance center to justify the construction and
fixed maintenance expenses might require the equivalent of one quarter or more
of a'full time staff position. The timing of the work load for these primarily
summer -use programs -- the season of use and the th,,_e months preceding it
may allow the us of recre,a j-i on interns in the prcgt s1 ;-Pmi ng level.
Specific program, i ng suppo' rt costs are equally di f � i t�u; t .to assess i n this
report. Certain,l ama,teur groups, will perfoi -)m for the reimbursbm.ent of travel
and other expenses, other professional groups will require fee =. Tickets are
difficult to control in outdoor perfori�?U�=ce) so all cost must be borne by the
city or a sponsoring group.
Organization and support of a city band, with or without voluntary leadership
and musicians, would require certain efforts on the p art of the city staff.
The efforts will reduce the time available for performance of other duties.
Some of the potet-ttial costs Include the,' cjs--. (,7 iluFJC, ;, the cost of large inStru-
meats that are not normally ow s by a^a.:cur r sect :rs, travel expenses, rental
of practice rooms, etc. An inv -stm :nt of $15,000 to $25,000 in large instruments
and basic equipment would nt be considered unusual for a community based organ

SITE SELECTION CRITERIA
Bandshell Performance Center
The following criteria are critical to a site for a performance center.
No order of preference is implied.
' Visibility -from adjoining streets for the purpose of natural security,
vandalism_.prevention and creation of a tense of welcome or invitation in
order to,attract casual passers -by and to easily.direct concert goers.
'Acsi_,ss i bi l i �y From parking areas of adequate size to handle anticipated
audiences.
Accessibility to toilets and dressing areas from performing and audience
areas if not provided in a new structure.
Orientation of bandshell to prevent detrimental effects of climate and
weather; i.e., glare from the sun on either performers or.audienccs; effect
of wind on distribution of sound.
10'Protection from external noise sources, most importantly, vehicular traffic
and airplane noise.
° Relationship to natural and existing man made reflective or absorbtive sur-
faces such as ponds, tree masses, walls, berms.
Picnic t5,)eI e.
The following features are considered important for casual and passive activi-
ties expected in a picnic area.
? Quiet - protection from external noises - traffic, airplanes, noisy activi-
ties of others.
Accessibility from parking areas.

RESOLUTION OF DIFFERENCES.
E
It.is in the build'ng
desiign rather than ,attributes of,a, site that conflicts
between the two us
s considered arise, and even "then i t i is not in the specific
requirements of th
program itself, but in the building form that responds to
r
it, that we,realizal
that we may need to compromise some of the principles. Where
the kapdshell musi,he

more successful i�

a sense of enclosure and a feel i ng i of solitude and retreat.
These contrasts ar'-
expressed -to alert us to the dangers, rather than to indi-
cate that the'comb

good solut ins May
be a, hieved within a isingle building';. There are some facilities
that both require and41hith

SITE .ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.,
After a complete, though casual inspection of all the major park areas in
Richfield, we recommend that if !a bandshell /picnic shelter is constructed,
the logical location is Augsburg Park. Our responses to the other locations
"`are as follows:
Wood Lake, Memorial Park and other small parks within the city, were
dismissed from real consideration because of size, inappropriate location
and /or'spccific specialized uses.
TAFT PARK
With the exceptiar-.of the north portion of the park which has significant
exposure to the freeway and freeway noise, this park is too heavily oriented
to active uses which could create functional conflicts between park uses and
users. The vegetation that exists is not of sufficient size and quality to
create a desirable location for group picnics. Because of the close distance
to the airport and runway alignment, this park will have greater exposure to
airplane noise.
LEGION PARK
Even though this'park area is planned for further development within the next
few years,..we feel that the present plain topography and lack of. important vege-
tation masses, would make it -a less desirable location for this type of facility.
Although it is possible to create an appropriate area for construction, it will
be many years before new tree plantings can create spaces as pleasing and exciting
as those that exist at Augsburg Park.
DONALDSON PARK
i
This park is totally
-
consumed by athletic fields and has much greater exposure.
to freeway noise than
anyother park in the city.
AUGS9URG PARK
j
Augsburg seems to
fi11 all the obvious considerations for desirable locations
plus it has sever
l areas within the park that fulfill, the more specific needs
for this structur:
i
• Central location.
4
• Relative freedo
from airplane noise.
• Frontage on relatively
low volume streets.
• Easily accessible
from all areas of the city.
■ Identification by
citizens as a cultural center.
• Handsome vegetation
- the present stand of oak gives a sense of shelter as
well as shade.
- 0 Interes'iing topography
- several land forms lend themselves to the construc-
tion of a .perfor
ance center:.
0 Water - -the drainage
pond, which even d.uririg this dry year maintained a
relatively constant
level, is a visual asset.
0 Available utilities
and services - three existing buildings can provide
toilets if they
cannot he provided for in the construction budget.
Four distinct areas
withi'r% Augsburg Park received thorough investigation.
•
Other areas were rejected
because of obvious conflicts with other activities and
page 13
adjacent properties. The areas and our responses are as follows:
SITE A (See Site Plan, Figure 3)
The bowl form southwest of the Community Center presently used as a location
for a portable platform and acting as a sump area for storm water.
This is a delightful and logical area to consider. It has an ideal land form
in -the semi circular ampitheater shaped area that can be used as a seating area
and, which is, if any fault can be found in that aspect' too large a form for
the audiences that might be expected for the usual events.- permanent land
forrvand .acoustic shell could be created at the base of the slope, which would
act as a performance platform without being obtrusive to the rest of the_'park
area.
This area offers accessibility, it is close to the parkling lot; toilets are
l
available in the Community Center. The audience and performers are reasonably
well protected from the sun, and this site offers the best protection from the
wind. Seating can be created by the construction of timber retaining walls
along the slopes,:although extreme care would be necessa ry to avoid tree darrlage.
The site is visibTe from the street; however, it is also subject to street
I noises. The use of this site might reduce the area available for softball to
the east and reduce the length of available sliding hill on the southeast.
In this location, the performance platform would be inappropriate as a picnic
shelter - it meets few of the design criteria. It is possible to build separate
page 14
shelters behind.th'e seating area in a semi circular form to satisfy that
function. This co plete scheme would create a forceful and successful massing
concept. Site A has potential problems with site drainage and sewer connection
because of its elevation,,if plumbing is included in the proposed structure.
An opening in the woods to the southwest of Site A on the north edge relatively
flat area in the center of the park. We visualize a structure built on;the
top edge of the bowl form that is used for seating in Site A and opening toward
the south.
This arrangement meets the criteria for both -fucti ons reasonably well. The
increased distance from the Community Center facilities, and the parking lot,
is offset by the relationship to the parking lots on the south side of the
site. The structure in use as a picnic shelter would have good visual contact
with several areas' available for activities - the present softball area, the
hard surfaced game.area towards the library, and the open area that would be
used p' ,se4ingn I Tie area is well i "solated from traffic noise, and because
of its central location within -the park, it would not.destroy the privacy of
the neighbors.
Among the negative aspects of Site B, are the possible.. intrusion into.the
open space to which the library windows relate, the `probable necessity for
..bench seating in order to provide comfort and good sight lines. The seating.areE
is flat and would require raising the performance platform significantly above
normal grade in order to provide visibility.
0
page 15
SITE C
The open area with slight depression between the Community Center parking
lof.and the tot lot, bordered on the south by the intersecting paths.
This site offers most of the advantages.of A with only slightly greater
distances to the facilities in the Community Center. It is physically removed
from Nicollet Avenue, and it contains a large area to accommodate an audience
on both retaining wail or portable seating, and on the ground. As we vis-
ualize the use of the site with a performance area near the south edge of the
site, some landscaping may be necessary on the north edge of the opening in
order -to -remain polite to -the - neiobo -rs -- across 7 -0th -- Street. Thi s- -si to woul d
easily accommodate a portable platform and shell such as that used by Edina
and the Minnesota Orchestra. It offers views and control of the available
athletic - areas-; -the- tot —l- of -nd- -the -ponding- area:-
We cannot easily achieve protection from the wind on this site., and care must
be used to avoid problems from-low sun angles.
I
page 16
SITED
Although we had some initial positive feelings about the edge of the ponding
area on the westiside of.the park, and expressed them to the city staff; we
have, in further,analysi,s, generally dismissed this area from serious consid-
eration. The po d. location offers the disadvantages',of poor orientation,
poor exposure to the high school athletic fields, lack of visibility from the
streets and questionable water level stability.
I_
SITE RECOMMENDATIONS
If the City of Richfield decides to extend its prograrmiling efforts and builds
a new BandsPell and Picnic Shelter facility, we recommend that it be built in
Augsburg Park at the area we designate-on Site C. Our preference is not over- •
whelming over Site A, but we favor it for the following reasons.
0 The view.of add relationship to the ponding area and the tot lot gives
the audience good control over the bored or restless child who might wander
off to new adventures.
v There appears to be less chance of damage to the existing oaks by construc-
tion and excessive traffic in this location.
' Better isolat on from tine traffic on Nicollet Avenue can be achieved.
No site has better visibility and control.
8 The woods in the center of the park remains open and free from building intrusion..
0 A structure can be designed to allow seating on all sides, possible structured
and surface sating on the north, and seating at picnic tables on the south.
0 The character of this area is not so unique that we will destroy something
of great value by further development.
page 17
BUILDING PROGRAM
The City of Minneapolis has long range plans to replace the bandshell now in
use at Lake Harriet. Phoebe Hanson, the recreation -staff member responsible
for the cultural programming, shared her "want list" with me. Although the
facility in Richfield cannot satisfy all the needswe should be aware of these
desirable features:
Secure'area-for sound equipment, speakers plac ed high off the ground to
prevent vandalism.
Toilets and dressing areas, drinking fountain.
Secure storage area for instrument cases during performances.
Risers for choral groups.
Wood floor for dance groups.
Hard surface area for audience participating- dancing,, square dancing
not physically separated from seating area.
Adequate performing area for 90 to 100 musicians may use portable stage
units to augment permanent platform.
Steps from audience area to stage.
Moveabl-e.walls or panels to reduce stage area for -small groups.
11 Central lighting controls, 220 volt electrical power source for broadcasting.
These suggestions with the building criteria listed above, and the use of mater
ials offering the desireable acoustical properties, consist of the building
program that we are responding to in-this-report.
page 18
CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
The following options 'for construction of a Performance Center /Picnic Shelter
are shown as guidelines for reference purposes. Actual cost may vary because
of more specific program requirements, because of bidding 'and bonding require -
ments of the City, and with the size of the project being bid.
t
1. The Non- Building
The City of Edina 'and. the Minnesota Orchestra each have portable performance
centers called ban wag ns or showmobiles consisting of,a folding platform and
acoustical shell mounted on a,trailer which is towed to various locations, and
which is completely equipped with,power generator, lighting and sound system.
They can be enlarged With the use of 'portable folding platforms and additional
folding acoustical'shell units. Both units were manufactured by the Wenger
Corporation of Owatonna, who manufactures new units at a cost of $30,000
$40,000.
Edina will rent their bandwagon fo,r reir,bursement for the cost of personnel to
move and set up the equipment: plus a modest rental f6 o.
2. The Landscape Structure (See Figure 1)
At modest cost, a, permanent hard surfaced platform can be constructed: using
timber retaining wails, and concrete or timber floor surfaces Seating areas can
be created by similar construction of 18," high timber retaining wails in an amphi-
theater around the platform. A platform on this type was dedicated on Nicollet
0
page 19
Island, Minneapolis, in 1976.
Cost with electrical power
$18,000 - $25,000
This platform can be improved acoustically by the addition of folding acoustical
shells.
Cost, 4 six foot wide units of $500.
$2,000
Or a permanent concrete or masonry and
wood reflecting back wall and roof
structure.
Cost
$8,000 - $15,000.
3. The Building (See Figure 2)
A suitable structure for a concert should
accommodate at least sixty musicians
within the effective acoustic shell area
(not necessarily under cover); the
picnic shelter should accommodate 60 to
100 people for a single group picnic.
Assuming then a covered area of 15`00 to
2000 square feet, we estimate that the
following building budget limits can be
considered.
$45,000 - $60,000
Additional site work
$10,000 - $20,000
.,
Add for toilets
$10,000
Add for permanent site lighting
$5,000 to $15,000
page 20,
I
4. Cluster Building Concept t (See Figure 1)
The idea suggested for Site `A of a separated stage area and.picnic shelters,
can most economically and interestingly be achieved by combining -a stage and
acoustic shell whi h is more landscape than building, that is, a raised plat-
form as a land °form, and the shell being partially backed into the hill. See
Option 2. The`pic Ic shelters can then be isolated timber structures.- Each
such structure at approximately 400 square feet and seating 25 to 30 people
might be budgeted as follows:
$8,000 $1231000
The.unit p rice wou d be reduced if more than one was contracted at one time.

• CONCLUSIONS
We believe the existence of a Performance Center or Bandshell in. Richfield
would be a great asset to the community. The presence of a Performance Center
would bring additional focus oD Augsburg Park as a cultural center for the
City. We question, however, whether such an investment in an expensive facility
both initial construction cost and maintenance cost, can be justified without
the prior existence of extensive prior prograa�-aing experience. , Our research
has noted that program staff and recreation budgets are already overloaded in
all communities including Richfield, and question whether sufficient budget
allocations can- -be made to organized perforrzi ng groups - from -wi thi n'the community
F itself to properly utilize such a facility. Ode realize the potential for gen
• erating performance from present playground prograras and from the schools, but
our reaction is 'that such performances might be desirable because the facility
exists, not because the group wants to perform there. While we have found no
reason to believe that the combined bandshell and picnic shelter facilites would
not be a valued asset to the City of Richfield,,we understand and want to impress
on you that some compromises in the desirable cha racteri s tics, of the two functions
e.`t° ncc ssaa y in order to combine th�t!l ill � )� s "r":�tvre. Soii�' o'f oi3r Gi3�ussions
with other co-Kimunities, 'and our knowledge of our own experiences, has sh6,n us
I that many families would like to combine attendance at a concert with a picnic;'
and wre therefore, see mar3y advantages in having picnic areas in close relationship
with the performance center. The City should consider, however, that if the
picnic area is coincidental with the stage, that use is limited. We therefore
recommend that if you pursue this further, you give serious consideration to the
•
planning scheme.
Because -of the few available places for successful use within the City and
high initial cost we do not consider the use of a portable performance
-center, Option 1, to be an economical permanent solution.. In the short term,
the rental of .one for specific use might be a reason011e option.
From. the st vidpoi nt of the overall park devel opl,e37t i Niie would i i lke to mention
something about the relationship of any new structures to the three existing
buildings now loc teci in the park, ` Each of the buildings has _a distinct- design
�ienship to one another. We considered this
concept, and have no design relat
unfortunate, and want the City to avoid further structural differences by
closely relating 'any new buildings in form and materials to the building closest
to them, probably,the Community Center.
One issue that is often avoided in considerations oflthe construction of new
faci1i�citis is an Acipa1,,, ' ;;e s an. 3ecLLlse of continuous programming and
large suols, of money -spejt in 'periodic rebuilding, the major facilities in the
Twin Cities, Lake Harriet and Como Park, have been in continuous use for many
years. However•, general experience in smaller communities indicates that change
interests and p riorities,, reduced programming budgets can create a decline in
use within ten, ears , resulting in a structural deterioration in even an
expensively constructed facility within twenty years The stability of Richfield
may produce gre 'ter programming consistency than other communities have experi ed

however, the location that we propose and its exposure to constant use
and possible vandalism by high school students may reduce the life span
considerably.
Although we have avoided a specific recommendation on whether or not to
proceed with planning and construction of a Performance Center /Picnic
Shelter, Vle have attempted to point out some o f- the potential pitfalls,
and hopefully some of the advantages available to the residents of the
City. There are certainly other questions vie have failed to address and
other solutions
that
we ignored
or forgot, however, we
hope this report
will assist the
City
to reach a
determination on this
question.

Council Letter No. 20
Agenda January 24, 1977
Subject: Amendment to Moritorium on Filling of Full
Time Vacancies
During the 1977 budget hearings the city council established a moritorium
on the filling of full time vacancies . The purpose of this letter is to request
that this moritorium be amended to permit the filling of two full. time vacancies.
The two vacant positions are as follows:
1. Police Captain - Police Division, Public Safety Department
2. Clerk Typist II - Nature Center, Park and Recreation Department
The police captain position is the management position in the public safety
department responsible for the overall activities of the police division. The
clerk typist II position in the Nature Center must be filled immediately to com-
pensate for the other reductions in staff and hours which occurred at the time
the 1977 budget was adopted. Both positions are fully funded in the 1977 budget.
it is recommended that the moritorium be amended as proposed herein.
Respectfully submi -d,

Council Letter No. 18
Agenda January 24, 1977

Members of the City Council

Gsntl -:men:
Subject: Proposed Change; in Fee Schedule
The purpose of this c,uncil letter is to propose revisions in certain fees
charged by the city for special use permits, variances, zoning district changes, .
land subdivisions, off - street parking contracts, street vacations and for planned
unit developments. These changes are necessary in order to reflect the costs
the city incurs in processing these applications.
Only a few of the fees for these services have ever been changecci. During the
i
1977 budget hearings, the staff indicated that it would be submitting recommenda-
tions to adjust various fee schedules in order to bring the fees in line with the
services received. The city is allowed by Minnesota law to charge fees adequate
to cover the cost incurred by the city in administering the zoning ordinance.
Examples of permit costs in other metropolitan communities is attached as Exhibit
A.
City departments involved in the zoning and development process have
estimated their average time and cost below. In all cases, the fees charged are
substantially less than the cost of processing the average application:

(These figures were derived from the data contained in Exhibit B.)
There is a direct relationship between the value of the development project
and the cost to the city. Therefore, there is a diminishing relationship between
the city's processing cost and the development cost. To recognize this relation -
ship, as the building or development cost increases above $1,000 the staff is
recommending a sliding scale fee schedule. The sliding scale concept is more
equitable to the small developer. Establishment of a sliding fee schedule as
recommended, for all types of zoning applications, will better reflect the actual
amount of time spent on the application. In preparing a proposed revised fee
schedule, the staff has attempted to accomplish the following two objectives:
1 , A permit fee schedule that will equate fees with costs incurred
by the city.
2. A format that will be easily understood by those obtaining
permits.

Off- Street Parking. Contract
January 24, 1977
$350.00
174.00
$524.00
The staff review of material for off - street parking agreements includes a
site plan review, drafting of plan, council presentation and contract execution.
This process takes place at the same time as the review for a special use permit
and planned unit development, or separately for a permitted use. When an off -
street parking plan review is completed in conjunction with review for a special
use permit or PUD, the cost is figured into the special use permit fee. When a
permitted use requires an off - street parking contract, it is recommended that a flat
fee of $50.00 be established. This will cover approximately tnree-- fourths of the
actual average cost.
0 Street Vacation
There is currently no charge for this procedure. It.is recommended that a fee
of $50.00 be charged to partially cover the costs associated with the street vacation
procedure.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the planning director, in which T concur, that the
city council approve the proposed schedule and request the city attorney to prepare
the appropriate ordinance amendments to implement the fees.
