In 1956 Colfax Avenue was vacated between 73rd and Oak Grove Boulevard, thereby, allowing this property to revert back to residential. ownership.- Since that time., additional housing has been constructed in this area- with the ex- ception of one lot located at 7231. Colfax Avenue. Because each of the lots in this area are characterized by low elevation, residents have had to direct drainage away from their property and into the vacant lot. The vacant lot was .recently purchased and house construction operations were initiated. The ......neighbors in this urea have therefore contacted the city, indicating their ` concern about the potential drainage problems which might result.

Area #9 - On August 9,, 1976 the -city council held a hearing on the proposed assess= meat for the 1975 street improvement project Area No. 9. At that hearing twelve individuals. spoke regarding the assessmena palires. In same cases it was possible t~ answer questions that are'-common at.the assessment hear~.ng. In .other cages, .staff members were agile to provvide the i ~ necessary in~ormatian. However, in these insta•rices where there. were some questions as to what the assessment should be or v~~hether the work was prop- erly performed, the city council asked the staff to investigate furthe and make a report at the August 23, 197E city council meeting. The- following is the report of the nine parcels deferred at the August 9, 1.975 -city council meeting; f ~ 1, 2, 3. Mr. Thomas Laws, 711 Lake Shore Drive, Mr. V. K.

'_ ~ Coun:cil Letter No. 265- Agenda August 23 , 1976 The Honorable Mayor i~ and ll Members of the City Council City of Richfieldl Genalemen: Subject: City Use of:School District Swimming Pools ~~, At the May 10, 1976 city council. mEetng, the city council adopted a policy and schedule for use of the city and school- district swimming pools ~~, during 'the summer season. The action. taken by the city council at that time provided that the city would operate numerous instructional and open ' swimming programs at both the outdoor municipal pool and the West. indoor. '~ pool throughout the summer, and report back to the council at the end of -• _ the summer on those programs, i On ul 16 1976 the cit many er sent to the cit council a status T Y Y g Y report- on the summer swimming -programs being operated by the City of II .Richfield at both the outdoor and indoor pools. A copy of that council mem- `I, orandum is attac' .ed to this letter. That counci memo indicated that summer season ticket sales have been at approximately the same level in 1976 as in 1975. The schedule for fees and charges for he season passes which was adopted by the council on May 10, 1976, did n ~t provide for any noticable revenue increase unless sales also increased. The. 1976 s mri~er season pass may be used by the subscriber for both 'the outdoor pool and the indoor pool during general open swimming time. The indoor pool receives little additional revenue from daily admissions. Essentially, the municipal outdoor pool has operated in 1976 as had been predicted, with approximately a $14,000 deficit. However, because there was virtually no increase in season pass sales and because of the lack of daily admission revenues for the West junior High, the indoor pool open swimming program has created a substantial deficit, estimated at approximately $15, OOO by the nd of the summer. The council also established abusing schedule which cost the swimming program an additional $3,000. .Because of =~ this. substantial ideficit, the Park anal Recreation,Department has modified the open swimming hours a the .indoor pool for the rest of the summer, in i Council Letter hl'o'. ?.65 -2- August:23, 19:76 an effort to minimize the deficit as much as possible. ~~ - Commission. Recdm`mendation . The Park and-Recreation Advisory. Commission evaluated the city's policy. regarding the, use of the school district pools at its July 14, 1976 meeting. The commission's discussion centered' on several considerations whch'may affect the. city's- continued use of the school district pools, and which are outlined in detail in the council memorandum that is attached. Eased on these considerations and the city's summer experience in oper- ating the school district pool, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission supported the .proposal that the city not participate in providing swimming pro- grams at the school district pools beginning September 1, 1976. The Park and' " Recreation Advisory. Commission unanimously recommended to the city council that the. city continue operating.. the outdoor municipal pool as in previous. summers and that the Richfield School District assL~me full responsibility for operating the indoor pools . The school district did operate the East Junior High Pool for open swimming earlier this: spring before the city pool was open. The district. has also offered instructional swim programs in the school pools to supplement the instructional programs offered 'by the city. The school pools are operated by school district employees and it;would not be necessary for the district to make any substant- ial operating changes in~ order to offer. swimming programs in their pools. Now that the summer swimming schedule is almost completed, it i.s nec- essary for the. council to make a decision regarding future city policy for use of the school district indoor pools. There are presently no city programs scheduled for the indoor pools after September l; 1976, and there is no money , provided in either the proposed 1976 budget revision or the proposed 1977 budget to subsidize an indoor swimming program. I It is recommended that the- city council authorize the city manager to advise. the- the school di~trict that the city will not be able to assume responsibility for the community open swimming and instructional swimming programs provided in ,the school pools.l Respectfully submitted, .~.._ ~:a.y. '" CITY OF RiCiiPIELD, MINN>;SOTA ' Office of City Manager Council Memorandum No. 155 July 16, -$976 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen: Subject: Status Report on Summer Swimming Programs The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with an up-to-date report on the open swimming programs which are being operated. by the City of Richfield during the months of June, Juiy and August. This report is being submitted because the city is operating the West Junior High School pool for the first tune this year, and because the operation of that pool has placed an unanticipated financial burden on the 1976 operating budget. Historical. Informati-on • V The following actions have been taken by the city council with respect to the summer open swimming program: 1. In October of 1975 the city council adopted a 197G $59, 861 operating budget for the Richfield sti~imming pool. The adopted budget provided that $45, 485 of the estimated operating costs would be derived from user fees with the remaining $1 ~4, 379 to come from other revenue sources to subsidize and balance the Richfield swimming pool operating budget. 2. The adapted 197G budget did not include any funding provision ' for city use of newly constructed school district swimming pools inasmuch as it was intended to charge adequate fees to cover all costs imposed by the school district. It should also be noted that funds for busing childrer~ to the city pool for swimming lessons had been eliminated from the 1976 budget in an effort to help balance the budget and reduce recreation costs. . 3. On January 2G, 197G the city council. adopted a written policy stating that user fees for use of the school district pool facilities would be established at a level which would make it possible for the revenue generated by these fees to cover all charges which the city must pay to the school district for use of pool facilities. ~.. Gounci.I Memorandum No. 155 -2- July 16, 1376 The balance of the policy statement related to the use of dastrict pool facilities and was consistent with the policy on use and management of the facilities which had initially been proposed by the school superintendent. 4. On April 1.2, 1976 the city council approved a usage fee system for summertime use of the city pool and year around use .of the West Junior High pool. This system which provided for equal . payment of fees by all pool users, had been developed by the park and recreation department staff anal was supported by the - city manager and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. The system provided f-or the purchase of tickets to be used for ad- mittance to the pools and was consistent with the January 26, 1976 council policy. S. On April 26, 1976 the city council recinded council action taken at the April 12, 1976 council meei:ing on the usage fee system for swimming pools. The city council indicated a desire to return to the family and individual ticket system and requested that certain alternatives be submitted for council consideration at the May 10p 1y76 council meeting. 6. On May 10, 1976 the city council adopted a usage fee system for the Richfield pool and. the West junior High pool -just for the i months of June, July and August which was inconsistent with the previously adopted )-anuary 26, 1976 council policy on lees. The ' ~ city council also decided to reinstitute busing service at no cost to the user. The pool fee system provided that a family season ticket could be purchased for $20 and an ia-~dividuai season ticket purchased for $15-with other fees being essentially the same as the previous year. The major change i.n the system adopted by - the city council was that the holder of a season ticket could use either the Richfield pool facility or the West junior High facility. ,The family ticket fee represented only a $.50 increase over 1975. - The individual ticket charge represented a $2.50 increase over 1975. 7. On May 10, 1976 the city council also adopted a resolution transferring $28, 000 from the remaining $45,158 emergency contin- gency .fund and salary adjustment fund to the swimming pool budget to cover the estimated cost of busing and rental of West Junior High ` pool facilities in accordance with the usage fee plan adopted by the city council.. When the city council made the fina 1 decision on the swimming pool usage .fee plan at the May 10, 1976 city council meeting, several council members in- • dicated their belief that it would not be necessary to use much, if any, of the $28, 000 whicli was appropriated primarily for the rental of West Junicr High pool and bus service. The assumption was. made by i:he council that the additional pool i..i t Council Ivlemarandum Igo. 155 -3- , •ruly 16 ~ 1976 I •r facilities would result in a substantial increase in .daily admittance fees and number of season tickets purchased. r i 1976 Summer Swimming Experience The following table comparing- estimated pool revenue for 1976 with actual revenues in 1975 .indicates that there has. been very little change in the purchase of season tickets and daily admissions. There were a few more family tickets ..sold in 1976 than in 1975. On the other hand, the number of single tickets sold fn 1y76 is less than single tickets sold in 1975.. The season ticket sale revenues are current as of July 9, 197G and inasmuch as most of the season tickets are sold either before the season opens. or during the- first two weeks of the swimming, program, these figures represent accurate estimates far the summer pool season. The estimate .for daily adr,~issions for the outdoor Richfield pool. in 1976 include actual figures through July 9 and a projection of daily admissions. at the .same rate through the . end of August. This figure has been higher than usual due to the unusually hot sunny weather which we have experienced this summer. Less desirable weather during August could reduce this figure. Daily admission revenues at the West Junior High 1'001 through July 9 amounts to $775. Total daily admissions for West Junior High for fine entire summer season. are estimated at $2,.000. Net con- cession income and other recreational programs such as instructional swimming, which are pool revenues, are estimated based on lass: year's actual figures. By reviev,.ing the following revenue table, it can be seen tlx~ t the only new revenue which can be readily attributed to the West junior High Pool are the daily admissions; COI~iI'ARISON OP POOL REVENUES ' For 1975--7G Category Actual Est9.mated 1975_ 197G Family tic}:ets $23, 212 $23, 831 Single tic}:ets -4, 951 4,195 • Daily admissions (Richfield 1'001) 6, 220 8, 079 • Daily admissions (W.

The city council transferred $28, 000 from the contingency fund to cover the• anticipated costs of.this decision. For a number of reasons it was extremely difficult to schedule the same number of open swimming hours at the West Junior pool as are available at the .Richfield poole Similarily, it did not seem necessary to duplicate bus service for swimming instruction by providing residents. with the option of taking a bus to either West Junior High Pool or the city pool. Moreover, the transfer of $28, 000 from the contingency fund left only $I7, 000 in the contingency account which inadequate to cover the approximately. $25, OD0 cost of a 1976 Local 1215 settlement which will. be occurring later this year. Therefore, after reviewing this. matter very carefully with the Park and Recre- ation Department staff, I made the decision to not provide swimming instruction bus service to West junior High (even though lessons were provided) and to offer a somewhat more limited open swimming program at West Junior High pool-than is being offered at the Richfield pool. Thus, the bus expenditure will be only about $3, 000 rather than the more than $5, 000 and the pool rental costs will be less than anticipated had the same number of open swimming hours been offered at the West Junior High Pool. Our current estimate is that it will. be necessary to spend approx- imately $20, 000 of the $28, 000 appropriation from the contingency .fund which will make it possible to restore $8, 000 to the contingency account: This change should make it .possible for the contingency fund to come very c1_ose to covering the an- . ticipated cost of a Local 1215 settlement;, but will leave no additional funds for • emergency purposes in the contingency fund for the balance of the year. Future of the Program The summer swimming program will end in approximately seven wee}cs .and thought should be given to whether the city will be involved in making use of the school district pool for swimming purposes during the balance of the year or, for that matter, next summer. In considering this matter, the follovving items are of concern: ' 1. The decision to substantially subsidize the open swimming program this summer depleted the contingency fund for 1976 and there is no other money available in the general fund to continue any kind of svvimiriing pool subsidy for the balance of the year. 2. The general fund contingency has never before in my experience been totally depleted. 1'he significance of this action is that in • previous years it has always been possible to make use of the unused portion of the contingency fund to help provide financing for the next year's budget. This will not be possible to do in • 1977. •• t Council Memorandum No. 155 -5- July 16, 1976 3. The drop-in population fora 1976 results in a loss of $112, 000 in potential new .revenues that will be available to help fund the 1977 city budget, (Council Memorandum No. 150 provided more detail on. this situation). . 9:, The city council has indicated a desire to stay away from utilizing ..federal revenue sharing funding for operating budget purposes. in spite of the fact that this concept was initiated by the city council ~, in 1972, This will be extremely difficult to accomplish in-1977 in ~, view of our other financial constraints. Moreover, finaL~congressional ', action on .the general federal revenue sharing is not now anticipated until the .end of August or early, in September which contributes to un- certainty as to how much the .city will have available to spend in 1977.. 5, There are certain necessary crew expenditures which will 1-tave to be considered for 1977 such as the .cost of wage and- salary adjustments for city employees and very substantial new costs .associated with Dutch Elm disease control and reforesi:ration programs. i• 6. While our 1976 gross sales are increasing at the municipal liquor stores, the net profit is less than in 1975 due to lower prices and greater competition which leads to increasing uncertainty surrounding liquor store profits in the foreseeable future. (More information on this item is available in Council Memorandum No. 50). 7. All of the preceding concerns tend to support a very basic ooncept that decisions on budget. financing should r.ot be made without giving careful consideration to how the decision will affect not only the current year's budget, but budgets for the next several years. The Par} and Recreation Director reviewed the summer swimming program at the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting on July 14, 1976. At~that time the Park.and Recreation Director suggested that it migl~it be appropriate for the school district to offer instructional and open swimming programs in their pools beginning with the 1976 fall season. The Park and Recreation Director supported his proposal with the following justifi~cataon: 1, The scliool district did operate East Junior High pool for open swimming for approximately a one month period before the city pool was opened this ~ surnmer, 2a The school district is offering instructional swimming programs this summer in school pools to supplement instructional programs offered by the city . . • 3. The school pools are operated completely by school district employees so that it would not be necessary for the district to. make. substantial operating changes in order to offer swimming programs in their pools. ~~ ~ Council Memorandum No. -155 -6-. July 16, 1976 M 4. The city could still re:~t the school district pools for special occasions iiz the same manner in which other groups and organ- izations could rent the pools., • School board member John Hamilton, who is the school board liaison to the park and recreation advisory comrnission, indicated at the July 14 meeting that he concurred with the idea that programs. in the school pools should be provided by the school district. I3e indicated however, that this was his personal. opinion and that he could not guarantee that a majority of the school boa rd members. would support the suggestion. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission voted to support the concept that the school district should be requested to assume responsibility for community open swimming and instructional swimming in the school pools. I have discussed this briefly ~vi_th the school superintendent and IVir. Fondrick will be meeting with the athletic director for the school district to discuss this matter. In summary, it seems to me-that there are three basic alternatives available for the swimming program: 1. The city could continue renting the school district pools for open swimming and charge a fee ~Nhi.ch v~ould completely cover all of the operating costs charged to i:he city by the sckiool district, . Z. The school district could ddcide to operate their pools for community, instructional and open swimming (the school district did charge a fee during their open swimming period at East Junior I3igh which was sufficient to cover the cost of operating the pool) . 3. Or, in viev~,~ of the tight budgetary problems being faced. by both .the city and the .school district, a decision could be made to use the pools only for educational purposes and not provide community open swimming and swimming instruction programs. I will advise you of the reaction of the school district. administration to the proposal for the school district to operate the district swimming pool program just as soon.as that information is available.

" Sub2eet; State Grant Application .for Bikeway"Development Funds In September, 19?5, the city-council adopted the Richfield Bikeway Plan, and requested city staff to seek funding sources to begin development of the four priority routes included- in that plan. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources h.as established a grant program which .provides funding for development and construction of bicyci.e , trails. - The City of Richfield is eligible to apply for bikeway funds through this Minnesota B'~~icycle Trail. Assistance Program, and the Planning Department is preparing an application fora $12, 000 grant of trail assistance monies. The bikewayis proposed to be developed with the grant monies are shown on Exhibit A, ati:ached to this cowzcil letter. The proposed development in- eludes eight milES of Class II bikeway, and. six miles of Class III bikeway . This development will consist primarily of signing and striping along existing. roadways, to de ~ignate bike routes. A $1?.,000 grant would enable the city to complete appr ximately 32% of the bike~Nay plan. The P/Iinnesgta Bicycle Trail Assistance Program is a cost sharing program between the .state and the local unit of govern The De~artmer.t of T~Tatural Resources will r~imburse the city for 65%, oY $T, 800 of the cost of the bikeway -development, TYhe city will have to provide the remaining 35% of the cost, which will be $4, 200. We have been assured that the city's share can be provided as a "soft" match, and it is anticipated that the city's contribution will be in the form. of services, usi g current personnel. In this way, tiie city may begin develop- - merit of the bike ay system without incurring any additional operating fund liability.. ~'~ o b '~ ~ ~~ ~~~~~a 3' ~, 5" a ~°' ~° ~~' Council letter nro 26~ -2- Agenda August 23.,' I~?~ The Departm~ntof Natural ~eso~trc~:s has estat,lished an August 31, 1976 deadline for grant applications._ It is .recommended that tyre city"council authorize city staff to complete a .gram ~p~al.icaton_to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Minnesota Bicycle Trail Assistance Program, in the amount of $12,000.

A percentage fee representing a percentage of the construction cost of the facilities shown on the drawings and specifications prepared by the engineers, with such percentage to be as sho~m on 'I'ig. 2 - Curve B' attached hereto and made a part hereof. In determining the basis for calculating the percentage fee payable to t?~e engineers, the following provisions shall be applicable. 1. "Construction cost of the facilities", as used in this • agreement, means the total cost of all work designed or specified by the engineers for the project but .does not include any payment to the engineers or other consultants, the cost of acquisition of any necessary sites or rights of way, or the cost of arty out-of-pocket ex~,enses of tre engineers which are reimbursable under the provisions of this agreement. • 2. No deductions shall be made from the engineers' compensation ' because of penalties, liquidated damages or other amounts withheld from payments to the contractors. 3. "Construction cost of the facilities", as used in this agreement, and the time for payment of fees, shall be determined as follows: (a) If bids are received and a contr<^.et fcr ee;.struction _ of the project~is entered into, the "construction cost of the facilities" shall be the contract cost. If, upon completion of the contract, the actual construction cost is different from the original contract cost (by reason • of such things as change orders and differences in actual work quantities bid on a unit price basis), the fees shall . be based upon the final actual contract cost. Ninety percent (90~) of the percentage fee shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the city has entered into a contract for the construction of the facilities shorrn.on the drawings and specifications and the remaining ten percent (10q) shall be paid upon the completion of construction. If a deletion is made from the project shown in the drawings and speci- fications, by the city, the engineers shall be paid for their services on such deleted work equal to ninety percent (90%) of ';,he percentage fee which woald have been payable if the deleted work had been constructed. (b) If 't~ids are received but no construction contract is entered. into within thirty (30) days thereafter, or within the period during which. bids may be accepted; the "constrructior, cost of the facilities" shall be the amount M3~ „_- ~ --,. t •n` ~^ . I' t •~ of the lowest responsible bid, and in such event the fees shall be paid in full as to work shoran on such drawings and specifications within sixty (60) days after receipt • of the bids, or within the period during which bids may be accepted.. In the event that no construction contract ~ is awarded as provided in this paragraph, the engineers- shall be paid ninety percent (90~) of the percentage fee provided for in "Fig.. 2" attached. (c) In any case where only ninety percent (90%) of the basic percentage fee has been paid, as provided in this article, if the work is later constructed, • the engineers shall provide supervisory services for such construction and shall receive ,from the-city the remainder r of the percentage fee, so as to bring tree total fee paid to the engineers to the percentage of the "construction . cost of the facilities" as shown on the .attached "Fig. 2." B. In addition to the percentage fee for engineering services the city shall reimburse the engineers for. actual out-of-pocket excen>es i~icurred for soil testing and materials quality testing whcxe such testing is done by third parties. ARTICLE VII. If the engineers fare required to perform.ex~ra services (e.g. revising drawings and specifications after they have been approved by the city or in providing services not included within the scope- • of this agreement) such extra services shall be paid fox on a basis to be agreed upon in writing by the parties at the time s~.ch edtra services are ordered, No claim for extra engineering services shall be made ~by the engineers, hcwever, unless, before they are undertaken, they are specifically ordered in tirriting by the city "extra services" and the basis for paying for them is established by a written memorandur_. ARTICLE VIII. " A11 records, drawings, specifications, test results and as- built plans prepaxed by i;he engineers pursuan+, to this agreement ' shall became the absolute property of the city upon payment there- for in accordance with the provisions of this agreement. • ARTICLE IX. _ r The engineers agree to undertake 'the work provided for in this agreement promptly upon the execution hereof, and to prosecute such work to completion without undue delay. •<i' • TN 1dITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have made and executed this agreement as of the date and year first above written. . ~ e CITX OF RICHFIELD Sy ` Its Mayor gy Its Manager ORR-SCHELEN-MAYER~N & ASSOCIATES, ?INC.

The as essrzent hearing will cover the construction work performed in City Project,No. 667, in ..Area No. 8, West of Lyndale Avenue as shown on the attached rriap. Each -prop- erty owner who will be assessed for this work has received two letters from the city. The first letter requested property owners to advise the city of any defects • or problems concerning the project of-which they maybe aware. :Each response has been answered either through corrective work already completed or scheduled., o'r through an explanation to the resident describing the circumstances involved in the particular'situation. A second letter has also been sent; advising property owners of the date and time of the assessment hearing. This letter included the amount of the assess- ment and an explanation of the alternate-ways by which the assessment could be paid.. A total of 689 parcels are included in the 1975 Project Area 8, west-of , Lyndale Avenue . - The assessi ent rolls for this project have been calculated in accordance .with ;the Sfreet I provement Assessment policy adopted by the city council in June, 1970.. An 'mportant element in the city-wide street improvement project is the position of she city council that the assessment policy. adopted in 1970 would . remain in effect until the entire project is completed in 1977. This means that all property owners would receive equal treatment for assessment, using stand- ardized criteria. The 1975 assessment rolls have been adopted based on this policy.- ~Propert owners have previously been advised of the assessment policies • at public inform tional meetings, .public hearings, and, by vaay of printed materials and audio-visua information aides prepared by the city.

Council Letter No. 255 Agenda August` 23, 197.6 The Hon;ora~le ~ Maybr and - Members of the Ci,~ty Louncii City= of Richfield ~ - , Gentlemen: - - ` Subject: Proposed Adjustments in Ice Arena Fees and Charges On the city council agenda ~of Augus't 23, 1976 there is an item. providing fir council consideration of a proposed increase in the fees charged to users of the Richfield Ice Arena. The proposed increases have been recommended by staff and approved by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission... ~.Che new rates would beco e effective September 1, 1976.; which would provide that' .-most contracts for ice usage during the coming winter would be .renewed at the new rate . Background f User fees ar~d charges have a long history iri the field of public recreation.. To charge or not to charge is a policy question which has been debated by Park and Recreation Ad isory Boards., .staff and city council for many years. The Richfiel Park and Recreation Department lias utilized the user fee .concept in many o its programs over the years . When the ice arena operation - began in 19.71,. th user fee concept was implemented with the intent that the 'arena could provi e basic services on a 'self-supporting basis. However,- in- crea ir,g costs of peration, new federal and state wage laws, and severe levy . limitation impos don the city,. made it necessary in 1975 to adjust the fees ,.:being .charged in rder to maintain the expected level of service. Although the ice arena operatio was monitored very carefully in 1975 in an effort to reach financial self-suf iciency, arena expenditures by the end of the year had ex- seeded income by approximately $14,.000. As a result f this deficit, city staff again evaluated the ice arena ex- penditures and revenues and made a proposal for an increase in fees. Some of the fees were a justed by the .city council on March 22, 1976. At that time, city staff ndica e to the council that most other arenas in the -area were also seeking an increase in hourly rental rates. Since then, most arenas have made a rate adjustment, acrd the attached survey of other metropolitan area ice arena fee structures show that the City af,Richfield i providing ice at a substantially lower rate than any other arena. .This has been the pattern for the Richfield.: ice i -1 .~. i Council Letter Noa 255 _ -2- 1 August 23, 1976 ~:; ,. arena since it began-operation in 1971. `~ .. Records; indicate that the to al operating cost, per hour;, for the ice arena in 1976 is approximately $39 to $40. Since` the arena began operation, the hourly operating cost has increased approximately. $2.00 per hour each year: The`;19T6 experience reflects this. trend and it does not appear that the cost increase pattern wi~.ll change significantly over the next,few years. V~hile the operating costs ofthe arena have increased approximately $2.00'per hour per year since Iy71, t!he charges for 'rental of the ice have not kept pace. One of the basic reasons,;~for the deficit experienced in 1975 and the .anticipated deficit for 1976 is that the existing rate structures do not-meet current operating costs::: The arena"staff has made every effort to provide the greatest service at the least cost, and toyprovide maximum efficiency in programming and scheduling as well as in limiting operational costs. However, increased utility and personnel costs have hampered the ability to further restrict operating costs, _ and it, appears that the only option for continuing efficient operation of the arena is to increase the revenue received for the hours during programs are scheduled. Staff Recommendation ,~ As indicated!, -the operating cost per hour for the Richfield ice arena is currently between ~$39 and $40. A survey made by the Park and Recreation • ~ staff, comparing local arena charges for ice rental, shows that Richfie.ld's rental rate is approximately $4.00 per hour lessthan the average standard .hourly rental rate #ar other metropolitan. area arenas: Special Hourly Standard Hourly Renta 1 Rate Renta 1 Rate . Richfield 1 $37.50 $42.50 Average j $43.33 $46.20 This averag includes both prime time and non-prime time uses. The - R9.chfield ice. aren~ offers prime time hours to Richfield organizations at a lower rate than that cha ged to other organizations for non-prime. time. Some metrop- olitan area arenas charge more for prime time than .for-non-prime time and most of them do riot pro ide lower rates for local organizations. The Richfield rate structure has not sufficiently met the costs of operating " the ice arena. Th~refore, the following recommendations are made: for increases in charges for ice rental: Current Proposed • I.acal organizations purchasing 100 plus hours - $37.50 $42.50/hour Other rental time 42.50 46.50/hour ', This proposal i~ s}milar to hat .presented to the city council in March, 1976.. The proposed rate structure would provide the opportunity for Richfield to be compet- itiv~e with other metropolitan aranas, .while increasing revenues to bring them i Council Letter No.; 255 -3- ,August. 23, 1976 '~ ',. more nearly in lin~'with actual opera ing costs. Local organizations purchasing '~ over I00 hours of ice time would still be able to rent the iee at a reduced rate which equals the approximate cost of merely providing the. ice with .little, if any, charge to cover. other operating costs. . Park and: Recreation Commission Recommendation. The resolution establishing ~a Park -and Recreation .Advisory` Commission sta es that the commissign shall make recommendations regarding. the financial operation. of'the department.! To that end, the Park and Recreation Commission at its 'August 4,' 1976 meeting reviewed the staff's proposal. for adjustments in the ice .arena ~ fee schedule. The commission voted .unanimously to approve the staff recomm- endations for userlfee increases and to implement the increased user fees effect- ive 'September l , 14976. ~~ ~ Summary: • The 1976 budget was prepared with the assumption that fees would con- . time to be adjusted to keep the ice arena operating on aself.-supporting basis. Because the .proposed fee increases were not implemented last March, it is anticipated tha t the ice arena will experience approximately a $24, 000 deficit iri 1976 (even if the ice rental fees proposed now become effective September 1, 1976).. The 1977 b~,udget.proposal has also been established on the assumption that fees. would bej adjusted to help keep the ice arena operating .more nearly on aself-supporting basis. The alternat ve of not- making any rate adjustments would be to reduce ice `arena programs or other services to provide for the amount by which expenditures •are estimated to e~I~ceed revenues. The recommendations contained in this council letter are made to Ndjust fees where they are not now covering the cost foraervices, . as an a ternative t~O reducing. arena services or other city services: It is the :recommendation of~ the Park and Recreation Director and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commiss on, in which i concur, that the rate adjustrrlents' proposed in this. council letter be adopted to become effective for`new contracts implemented. after September 1, 1976. ~ Respectfully submitted, ~~ v ~ G.~ Peter G.
