Cities of over 50, 000 population are referred to as "entitle- meat°cities and receive block grant money under this `act by virtue of their popula- tion. Some other cities that are less than 50,000 also receive "automatic hold harmless" funding if they have been engaged in a program such as-urban renewal which has not as yet been completed. The theory is -that such cities will continue to receive about the same. amount of money from. this block. grant program that they would.. have recoived to .complete a categorical grant such as urban renewa.lo Cities that are less than 50, 000. in population and not eligible-for hold harmless funds must apply for discretionary grants. In Hennepin County the cities of Minneapolis and Blogmington are entitlement ciLties and receive fundsbecause they have-been invoT ~~d in urban renewal projects, Richfield, along with all other cities in Hennepin County, must. ccmpete.forediscretonary funds available to non-entitlement cities..n the twin city,. area It ~nrould appear that discretionary funds totalling $1, 400, 000" are available in the twin city area . The City of Richfield has the alternative of applying for some of 'these funds as an individual city or joining with other Hennepin County municipal- ties ri making it possible for Hennepin. County to be designated as an urban county and `thereby receiving funds by that route. It would appear that it would be possible for Richfield and other Hennepin County municipalities to obtain more funds by pur- J suing the Hennepin County urban county procedure . However, it .was not really de- termined until about the middle of last week whether Hennepin County would be eligible for such designation. Once this matter was resolved, a number of represent- atives of Hennepin County municipalities- met with county personnel to pursue ..this matters We have held two meetings and I have served as the informal chairman of` this ad hoc group. .r ~f:_ ~- ~ Council Letter No. 30 _ -2- January 27, 1975 ' It appears to all of us who .have explored Pais matter .that while we are. faced with very tight .time restraints and while the process is a difficult one, there is substantial advantage to municipalities in supporting the urban courity designation proposal, This would rewire that each municipality enter into a joint powers agreement with Hennepin County with such agreement to be completely executed and in Washington, D. Ce by January 31, 1975. t .; Mayor Law ~a'nd I attended a meeting Friday noon, January 24 at which time. 'Hennepin County municipalities considered a draft of a joint powers agreement which would make the urban county designation possible for Hennepin County., A few amendments ;were suggested and those changes. will be made'. in the agreement this weekend os`that final. copies will be available on Monday. The agreements must be signed and returned to Hennepin County by Wednesday, January 29 , so that they can be received in Washington by Friday, January 31, 1975, , , In summary, it is recommended that the city council.. take the following action: l . Adopt resolution authorizing Mayor and City Manager to execute a joint powers agreement with Hennepin County for community. develop- merit block grant purposes. 2 . Authorize the city manager to prepare and submit a community' deve op- menu grant pre:-application which-actions'should be-taken in the event • " the Hennepin County .urban county designation does not -,prove: to ,be~ ` successful.

The six percent annual increase in spending allowed by the ' current levy limitations is not realistic in view of the ,_~ -.rapid rate of inflation and the increasing and/or mandated demands for municipal services. Additionally, only one year, 1971, tvas used as the base year for establishing this limitation and because of the many differences among the municipalities if 1971 happened to be a low levy year for some unique reason then that particular municipality must still live with an unrealistic base. j~Ye strongly oppose- .. - in principle such limitations and SUPPORT THEIR REPEAL. Political considerations would indicate that. total repeal may not be accomplished at the present time. J The present six percent levy limit SHOULD BE A~,IENDED TO IN- CORPORATE A T+10RE REALISTIC.

The 1973 Omnibus Tax Act was built upon the efforts of pre- c vious legislation to hold the line on property taxes by in- creasing the amount of non-property revenue distributQd to local units of government and by consolidating several ex- ~ fisting local government. aids into the County-Municipal Aid Fund. The State aids are a fixed dollar per capita amount ` and combined-with the 60 levy limit does not allow for _ "real growth" in the tax base of a local government unit,. ~C-1: ~ PER CAPITA- AiD The State-l~iunicipal Aid per capita payments SHOLTL.D BE Ii\'CREASED FROi:I THE PRESENT $37 PER CAPITA FOR CALENDAR YEAR 1975 10 COI~IPE?V`SATE FOR THE SO~iRI \'G I\TFLATION RATE ~~HICH HAS RESULTED 11Vr VASTLY IN- ..CREASED COSTS FOR LOCAL GOVERi`ii~IE~iT AND SiiOUL•D BE ' CONTIi`;UALLY I;.EVIEj~ED 'PO .KEEP PACE ~7I'I'H FUTtiRE .i~`-- ` FLATTON, _ ~' . ,~2_ - __ .. ._ ,, .. -:. . . . ....

Also, the present adminis~ra- tive review procedure is probably lacking in essential faixness and due process, in that the .governmental bodies making the adjudicatory decision on the merits of the tax- p_ayPr-s~pgeals .are the same bodi~.,~ ~s~h; r:h impo ~'n~~ y ~ in the first laced T~mem-hers of the Appeals Boards are ~ o~ ten unqualifie -to make the factual and legal determina- tions they are called upon to make.

TI~e State of ~~iinnesota has enacted Iegisla.tion (La,v of -P~iinnesota, 1974, Chapter 355, Section 66).requiring ea•Lh county and municipality in the seven county metro area to establish a mandatory shade tree disease control pro- gram, subject. to regu7.ations by .the State Commission of Agriculture: .The law does .allow for several different methods .for financing the costs. of such a program and, in general,-these .costs are exlcuded from the levy lim- - itation procedures. There was:. an immediate temporary financing problem for municipalities in -that this pro- .gram became mandatory in mid-year 1974, long after the . municipal budgets were adopted and finalized in 1974, Partially as a result of .this, some municipal-ides ha~~ been slog=~ in implementing this program and because or the nature of the shade tree disease ail municipalities mast comply if the program is to be effective for the metro- politan area. The-law-also gives the Commission of Ag- riculture the authority~to implement a program for a municipality if a municipality does not implement a pro- gram that meets the requirements set forth by the Ccm,- • missioner. The success of the shade tree disease control effort in the metropolitan area depends on an EFFECTIVE PROGRA~~I being IbIPLEtviEilTED and ENFORCED in all areas t~+ith- in and adjacent to the seven county metropolitan area.

Metropolitan government exists now in the Twin Cities metropol- itan area. .The Metropolitan Council is the policy decision mah- ing body for the Metropolitan Sewer Board, the P~Ietropolitan Tran- sit Commission and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. In ad- dition, it .has area-wide plar_ning and coordinating powers over the local governments. The total budgets for the three izetropol- itan Commissions and the ilietropolitan Council for 1975.wili amount to $131,53.3,830. The question is, should expenditures of this magnitude be in the handscofcanLelectedror an appointed .group of persons. The Committee strongly believes it should be under a body elected by the people who can hold the. members directly accountable for-their actions. _ An elected councilman's orientation would tend to be more toward . the people and their needs. Under the appointed system, the Council member is accountable to no one once he is appointed. On the other hand, the elected. councilman would have had to camT paign among the. people in his. district, which would not only cause him to beco;~:e familiar with their. problems, needs and as- pirations, but he would also have hart to articulate them~as '~ tvell before he ever tapes a sexton the Council. .~ '~. - !I _~~_ - j . - `: .. • _ •.

Mangan, Jr. ~us,~ECS SOUTHWEST CAB Director of Public Safety COMPANY The Police Division has conducted a review of the operational procedures of the Southwest Cab Co-~pany in accordance with the conditional licehse approval granted them by the City Council. During the period from August 30, 1974, through October 7, 1.974, the Busch Detective Agency performed twenty-one t27) spot checks on drivers during- the performance of their job, We have reviewed Busch's reports and find that there was no attempt to solicit any of .the. undercover investigators. I n most cases the i nvesti.gators ,engaged i n a`: conuersati on. with. the drivers that could easily have lead: to solicitation had the drivers been so inclined. Since October 7, 1974, our own personnel conducted-three similar 'spot checks with the same results encountered by the-Busch investigators. From all evidence we have collected it appears that the Southwest Cab com- pang is running under a much tighter control. than what was previously.. the case. Mr. Isaacson, the company president, iias established a formal set of company'rules..and.regulations for his own internal control `of the company. = A copy of these are attached for your information. _ It is my opinion that we have no grounds to-deny them their license at the_ end -of this probationary period. Because of the potential problem inherent in this business,. and the specific past problems we have: had with: this company, I would recommend that they continue to be required to maintain their own internal pal icing of their employees on some form of formalized :basis such as they now have under their contract with the Busch.

Rear fenders will have Packages Delivered and LCC 420 lettered " on them. G, 'Trunk lids will be lettered Richfield, Bloomington-451-222E. 5) Radio Procedure. A. Your radio is not a toy. Please use it accordingly. -There are other. people in other cars listening and also peop],e at the office who may be there for various business. Why tie up the air with things that are not important. B. iQo one but,: the driver of the automobile uses the. radio or calls in. If you let unauthorized people use your radio you will be .off the street. `; y •~. C. .. _. Please limit your .conversation to basebusiness, there will • be no clowning a-round or garbage .allowed. on-the air. • D. Do not air your :,.disagreements with the. dispatcher on the radio. If you have a complaint, call him on t;he telephone and discuss it. Do not tie up the air. E. 14hen a stand is .called the driver_~rill answer by number and the stand_he is on, Example: (Dispatcher) Sheraton:'(Driver) 69 Sheraton. F. When receiving an order the driver will repeat the complete address and apartment number or name of thepassenger.. Then ;write it .down so that it does note-have to be repeated again later. There will be no clicking of the mike allowed.-- if :you can't repeat.,.the order ycu saon't..gat 'the run,'. G. All bidding will include car .number and location at .the time of bidding. Do-not bid until three stands hays been called. You will-not be eligible until them anyway and you-are wasting airtime.But stay alert, so the if the call goes wild, you can bid on it. Only bid`if you are green until the dispatches' asks of someone is going into the area. Thats what the radio is for,' to cut down on dead miles. _. H. The dispatchers-have instructions not to take back a run once it is g yen out, If -you can't bid on a run before _t goes opt 'how can you bid on ict after. `This will be a firm^rule. When a run :s gone, it's gone.. That's .all there is to-it. I. The radio is for company business only. No call-will be given " • or_rnessages other than immediate .family on'the."air. All other messages will be given out on the telephone only. J. When needing information, press mike button and give your cab number. Then wait until dispatcher acknowledges you. Then proceed to talk to him. K. No cab on stand -may "pass" unless there are no cabs behind him., If there are cabs behind you, you must go on the order, This prevents any cab:from sorting out his runs and taking only the good ones, with cabs sitting behind him doing nothing._ Remember this, you can only "pass" to a wild. car if ,you.are..alone on the stand. G) Cal l Board Color Coding. ` A. .The call board will be controlled by three. colors, Yellow Green .and orange. The peg for .your car on the board will show a currehtcalla A yellow tag for ..out of. service or a 'green tag for in line at the airport, and the orange tag for a driver who is home but volunteers help if needed. This .will be used for everyone. B. T~-iE YELLQW TAG" This means you are not available fora call® Everyone will be required to call stepping out for whatever cause. If for some reason your-car is not working, the dispatcher will be told and your car will carry a yellow tag statis until you cola. back in service.. At this time the • x ~, ,.. , o : `o ^: yellow tag will be removed from your peg and the dispatcher will ~cno~a you are .now o.~ the air and available for. calls even though you are not in your area.. C. THE: GREEN TAG: This means only one thing, you are at the airport. If you step out of your car at the airport or turn off your radio, you will still carry a'green tag. When you - - - .pull. into the airport line you will tell the dispatcher and he will put the green tag on your peg. When you :leave the airport for whatever reason. on a lic}ht, dead heading home,: or'~oing back to a. stand, you must call in so hat the green tag-can be removed from your`;~eg. Now the dispatcher knows that you are on the air 3oing somewhere of he wants to:~`reaeh you. :; THIS WILL`: BE ENFORCED ANII WILL BE REQUIRED NO i'~"~T`fER `IF YOU ARE A SCi-~DULED CAR OR NOT, OR JUST WORKING THE LINE AT NIGHT, - OR Oi~1 SUNDAY ~;FTERNOON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS; FOR A COUPLFti ;OF BUCKS. D. The dispatcher must have.: total control nay and night and know the statis of each arzl every car at'alltirnes. This is alsa going to be aninsurance requirement, You viriifi-very possibly have'some.problems with the `insurance people i,f you have an accident and-your car is` carrying an out of service {yellow] tag. -THIS-GOES FOk EVERYONE. (Read th4s carefully). E. IF YOU ARE'MOVING. THAT TAXI YOU HAD BETTER TELL THE-DISPATCHER .'AND .WHEN YOU LEAVE IT YOU HAD BETTED ALSO TELL HIM, UNLESS YE7U .HAVE ENOUGH INSUc~ANCE OF YOUR OvdN TO CQVER ANY PROBLEMS TH.AT~ • MIGHT-OCCUR. This will eliminate all disappearing and popping out of .the wood work, and .the dispatcher will know at all: times `just what :cabs he has on the street to work with. THIS: TADS LITTLE OR NO EFFORT ON YOUR PART AND IF'YOU CANNOT DO THIS MUCH, ONLY YOU-WILL SUFFER THE END RESULT. F. All cabs:at the airport will be required to move out to w~,at ever. area that you work when requested by the dispatcher.' This will be enforced. You will be given time off with no reduction in dues if you refuse. A hired driver will be ..'dismissed, we don't need you if you don't want to work and protect the business of the man's-car you are driving. G. ORANGE TAG:` If an owner goes home for the night,. but feels he can help out if needed, he tells the dispatcher to call him if he is needed. '7) Advertising and Discounts. A. A11 airlines personnel will receive a 10% discount on all taxi rides re~~ardless of where they go or where you get-them. B The amount will be discounted to closest dime. Example: $2.34 meter will be $2.40. C. Offer all passengers a card .with our. phone number on it'. D. giver to .put up cards furnished by company in all apartment lobbies, Places of business or wherever you can get permission` to place them, i .. .. v ~ • 3) ~ - .. i Airport.. • A.

As was stated in Council Letter 1Vo. 10 for that meeting, the neighborhood representatives and thee.. Park-and Recreation Comm- fission supported-the site plan as pre ented -to the. city council with the exception of requesting further study of the potential for-and handling of automobile access on or from 76th Streeto In an effort to-resolve this issue, the Park and. Recreation department set up a spe~iaL•meeting of the Park".and Recreation. Advisory Commiss- loners, Roosevelt Park neighborhood representatives, Roosevelt Park architects and ..the property owner's abutting Clinton,::Fourth :and Fifth. Avenues for January 21, 1975. After reviewing the site plan at the January 13 city council meeting.; the city council deferred action on authorizing the site planner to proceed with working.: draw- ings until .the problems.-relating to the. pedestrian .and vehicular access on Clinton., Fourth and Fifth Avenues could be resolved. Prior to the January 21, 1975 special meeting bf the Park and Recreation Commission, the staff developed five alternative methods of dealing with the pedestrian/vehicular issue. They are as follows: 1. The vacation of Clinton, Fourth and Fifth Avenues for private driveways - or gre'en'spacesat the property owners .preference. In addition, the city would retain a twelve foot easement at Fourth Avenue for apark pathway entrance -and utility easements at Clinton .Avenue . This alternative also' included installation of a stop sign at Fourth Avenue and fencing of the three street stubs. 2 . Dead -end Fourth and Clinton Avenues 3. Cul-du-sacing Fourth and Clinton Avenues 4 . Provision of a twenty-four foot :roadway- c~rar~eci between Fourth ..and Clinton Avenue ~~ 5 .' Vacatadn of Clinton, .Fourth and =Fifth Avenues fob private driveways or green spaces at th.e property owners preferences . In addition., the 'fY '~. Z Counci Letter No. 21 -2- January 27, 1975 , ,,: ~~~ city would retain pathway easements to the park at Clinton, Fourth and Fifth Avenues as well as the utility easement at Clinton., This alterna- tine also included inseallation of pedestrian caution signs on 76th Street. ..After much discussion with tre neighbors and neighborhood representatives, the, :.Park and Recreation Commission unanimously approved alternate number five a the best solution. Since alternate number five requires a vacation of three streets, it will require the agreement of both property :owners abutting .each of the streets in cguestion, As only three of.the six abutting property owners were. in attendance at the January 21 meeting, the three property owners present agreed to meet with the other property owners to review the recommended alternate. With one of the property owners out df town for the winter, we will be unable to totally resolve this particular issue until the neighbors meet with her when she returns . The commission also met to discuss their concerns about the building design for Roosevelt Park. After some discussion the commission voted 4-2 to approve the pre.- liminary building .plans as presented. Based on the. by-laws of:the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, a simple majority of-the total nine membership' or five votes are necessary to.carrya motion. Therefore the motion failed. In view of all of this. information, it is recommended that the city.-council approve the preliminary. park development site anal building plans. and authorize the preparation of final plans and specifications for ame. This. action is required at this .time so that the project can be completed this; year. It is also recommended that the city council approve the first reading of the attached transitory ordinance appropriating $175, 00,0 from the special revenue fund o provide a budget fox this project.

The .current .license fee. is $1;00. It has been our experience that owners very seldom renew their licenses. upon expiration. Nevertheless, the city does receive numerous: requests to locate stolen bicycles of expired license numbers. Retrieving stolen bicycles is difficult at best, • but it is made more cumbersome when the license for .the bicycle which has been stolen has expired. Therefore, the: attached ordinance amendment has been drafted and is being prop- osed for first reading consideration. The amendment would provide for permanent_bi- c~cle'registration for a $2.00 fee. In addition, lfcen.~ees' would be required to report the sale or transfer of ownership. Adoption of this ordinance amendment would make our :bicycle registration regulations 'cons'istent with those now_in effect in Minneapolis and Bloomington.

Recent Hennepin County studie indicate this to be a potentially dangerous,. congested intersection. '.i Council Letter No. 15 -2- January 27, 1975 ,7q . Staff Review ~ °~~ , `~~~ .. ~_,! This restaurant would be located within the area. of the city which has. been comm- only .characterized as one of Richfield° s problem areas in terms of visual,~lutter, traffic congestion and business turnover. This is due to the poor location of various =Strip" commercial businesses Wand the mj.xing of conflicting land uses . Traffic Ha- zards and Congestion 'Although the proposed restaurant. would not generate significant amounts of traffic, this restaurant added to the existing situation relative to location and street design in the area would create traffic hazards. Traffic (1,140 vehicles per day) is :'presently using Graham.Avenue ~°- short-cut the congested Lynda le-66th Street intersections This .traffic is also using Graham Avenue for access to the busy hard- ware store rear entrance and to the parking lot and other stores in the .area via Circle Place (Graham and Circle Place converge) There have not been a large number of accidents in the Graham-66th Street area . However, the potential exists for this intersection to be Ye zardous, 66th Street. bends south just east of Graham Avenue. This bending. design of.66th Street limits .site (visual) distance of drivers on Graham`Avenue who desire, to enter 66th Street. The limited sight distance makes the corner potentially hazardous . Also, because of both the site distance and the land uses to the. north, across 66th Street {poste office, restaurant, gas stations), the hazardous traffic conditions exist. These hazards are relevant to.the turning movement of traffic .onto Graham-and onto 66th Street. An additional. traffic generator in this. area without traffic flow improvements would create traffic hazards. The site plan (attached) for the proposed .restaurant shows an exit into the alley between Lake Shore Dri a and Graham Avenue. With the alley, three access points . including the alley, exist within a distance of 300 feet on 66th Street. Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan The proposed restaurant would be 1, 5Hb square feet on a parcel of land .containing 10,451 square feet,' The city°s comprehensive plan indicates that this area is best suited for medium o high density commercial. (mixed'J~,land uses . The proposed one. story land-use would occupy 15% of the lot area and 9% of the total land area (land area is equal to lot. area, plus one=half of abutting public streets) . f The'lot has a potential within the restriction of city's present zoning ordinance of containing 8, OQ 0 square feet of structure (2 1/2 story building), joint parking or structural parking) . The proposed use _(donut house)- under utilizes. the.: land re- source'and is not medium to high density land use. .The proposed use does-not conform to the. city°s comprehensive plan. City Council Letter Noa 15 -3- January 27, 1975 The development complies completely with the building. setback, buffer areas, and exterior treatment requirements . However, because the building faces. 66th Street, the back for the building will.. abut a residential area . This. could create .sources of nuisance and annoyance for the adjoint residential .area . The development will:'have seating for 18 people which according to our stand- arils of one parking space for three'sea s requires a minimum of 6 parking spaces... The site plan indicates. the development will have 17 parking spaces which is mere :.than adequate. Recommendation: The proposed use does not conform o all of the criteria for granting a special use permit and should. be denied.` Planning Commission Recommendation On January 21, 19T5 the planning commission took this application under advise- ment. The planning commission recommends that .this item be deferred until -the first city council meeting in June. This will allow the Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet program to be completed.
