No. 51 - ~~ Agenda Febrta ry 10, 1976 The Honorable Mayor i _ -.and 'Members of the City Council it of hf' 1 C Ric e d Y Gentlemen:.. Subject: Resolution Supporting Special Pension Legislation For Public Safety °Director Position The ..purpose of the special legislation which' is attached is to resolve' a pension_sifiuation for'the public .safety "director which will benefi both the public safety director and the City of Richfield. When the present.: public safety director was appointed, the- city. made. an effort'to assi n him to the State PERA Police and Fire Fund . Some .considerable 9' correspondence has come back and-forth between the cit and the PERA with Y fihe net result"being that special legislation is .required for the present public "safety' director to be assigned to the PERA `Police and Fire Fund. ` In the interim ' he has been assigned to PERA, which is also inapprgpriate. Legal research of this matter has',determined that under existing legislation the present public safety:. director must be a. member of a'1oca1 police pension fund if one exists despite the fact he holds administrative and supervisory responsibility for both police and fire services. Since Richfeld`does have a local police; relief pension fund, it would be necessary under existing legislation to remove him from` PERA and make him a member of flint pension fund. In" his previous employment with. the City of Golden Valley, -the public safety :director wads a member of the State PERA Police and Fire Fund and it would be to 'his advantage to continue membership` in that fund. On the other hand, it:would be substantially more expensive to the City of Richfield to ' assign the public Safety .director to the local police pension fund than it would be for the city to make contributions toward the State PERA Police and Fire Fund membership.. _ Therefore, in an effort to resolve the complications of the pres~nfi situation in a way, which will benefit both the public safety director and-the .city, the IL A bill for an -act. relating to the City of.Richfield; providing for membership of a certain employee thereof in the Public ErnpJ_oyees Police and. Fire Fund; amending . Laws 1965., Chapter 458, Section 5. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of .any law to the. contrary, any person duly appointed to the office of Director of Public Safety of the City of Richfield is a member of the Public •Employees Police and Fire Fund established by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 353.b3 to 353.68, and is deemed to be a police officer and a fire fighter within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 353.64. Sec. 2. If, on the effective date of this act, the Director of . Public .Safety of the City of Richfield is a coordinated member of • the'Public Employees P.etirement Association as defined in Minnesota - Statutes, Section 353.01, Subdivision 32, and the service of such a . member is continuous with prior allowable service as a member of the --~ Public Employees Police and Fire Fund, the Association shall transfer from the Public Employees Retirement Fund to the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund all accumulated employer contributions, additional employer contributions and employee contributions in said fund for said employee.. The period of employment for which such contributions- ~ were made is allowable service and is deemed to be continuous with prior allowable service as a member of the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund. In addition, in the-case of such an employee, the City of Richfield shall remit to the Public Employees Police and Fire Fund an - • amount equal to the: difference between said employer and employee li - , . _ _._ ._ .,~. - -- contributions and the employer and employee contributions required '~ for the same period by Pinnesota Statutes, Section 353.65., together .with interest thereon ai: 6~ per annum..- The respective appropriate officers of the Public Employees Retirement Association and the Gity . of Richfield are hereby directed and authorized to make the transfers and,payrlents required by this Section, and to take all other actions necessary to .carry out the purposes of this act. - Ser. 3.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONTINUATION OF SPORTS FACILITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL AT THE METROPOLITAN SPORTS CENTER ~. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Richfield is the official governing body of the City of Richfield; and .WHEREAS, the City of Richfield is one of the owners of the Metropolitan Sports Area now operated by the Metropolitan Sports Area Commission; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the various proposals and. ideas to upgrade and provide improved facilities for professional baseball and football; and .WHEREAS, the City Council is aware of the efforts by the House Committee: on Local and Suburban Affairs and the Senate :Subcommittee on Metropolitan and Suburban Affairs as well as the Select Joint Sports Facilities Subcommittee of the Legislature to research and consider proposals for improved facilities for. professional baseball and football,` NOW THE. REFORE,-BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield. that the City. Council recognizes the .need for improved facilities for both professional football and professional baseball and believes that the most beneficial manner of providing these facilities is to upgrade existing facilities. and provide .any new facilities on the Metropolitan Sports Area eland for the following reasons: 1. Of all the various proposals presented, improvement at-the Metropolitan Sports Area land would be least costly to the citizens of -the Metropolitan Area and the State of Minnesota. 2. The Metropolitan Sports l~rea includes sufficient land to provide any desirable new facilities making it unnecessary to remove more property from municipal tax roles . 3. Utilities and parking space are currently available to support any upgraded or new facilities at the Metropolitan Sports Area. 4. A major road system already exists to service the Metropolitan Sports Area and any traffic and parking problems could be solved in an easier and less costly manner at this location than at any other site proposed fore a. major stadium-facility... y- -2- 5 The existing sports area location is well known and convenient to . both out-state and out-of-state users and may be easily reached by these users . 6 . Many actions involving employment, employee residence and .supporting. businesses have been taken in support of the present Metropolitan Sports .Area location. Change in location could jeopardize both personal and business investments and create hardships which would not have ta~ occur if the present facilities were expanded and improved. 7. Any decision to commit additional tax resources beyond what would be required to provide new and expanded facilities at the Metropolitan Sports Area should be considered in light of other important state priorities .such as the critical need for more and better housing opportunities for. citizens of the Metropolitan Area and of the State .

The city manager distributed copies of the resolution which could be; adopted for the purpose of formally expressing that position. No action was taken on the.. resolution inasmuch as it was not known whether an impasse would be .declared . As you kno an impasse has been declared in these negotiations.

Gentlemen: ,- Subject: Request to Construct Backstop at Donaldson Park ~ At the city council meeting of January 26, 1976, the city council directed` -.the staff to gather additional evidence regarding: the proposed installs ion of a` ~, :new ba eball field°backstop at Donaldson Parka The council expre sed concern that the: present problem which creates a hazard from the ballfield to .children 11 ,playing in the tot -lot resulted from an oversight in the park design. The '~ council's concern appeared to be that the potential for this problem should have , !, been realized.at the time the park was being de igned, and tha~.,perhaps.-the tot' ~, lot' could have been located `in"some other place`. Staff has reviewed the design and plans for Donaldson Park, and it appears that, if all the'desred facilities ~, were to be located in the park, no other reasonable location. for the ~to't lot. was ~~ possible . ~ - The council also requested. staff to contact Brauer and Associates and esk that they provide the city with a new backstop design free of charge, This '~ request has been made of Brauer and Associates, who indicated they would not I, do so. Mr. Donald Brauer will be n attendance at the February 9, T976 city ', council meeting to respond further to that request. '~ " the: council finally directed staff to obtain other proposals. for design of the backstop if Brauerand Associates were unwilling to provide the, design services .free of charge. The city; has-.received one.. other proposal for this work which was approximately twice as much as the charge. negotiated with Brauer and Associates . Conversations with other planning and engineering companies ;indicate that they would be willing to prepare plans if the-city ` submitted specifications, but .would not make the design or assume responsi- bilty,for the design in terms of providing protection to the tot lot. Informal communications with various: fence contractors indicated that. approximate cons truction` coats for the backstop would be $6500 to $8500. These figures are based orb winter or early piing construction (before or by March 15) . The park and jrecreation. advisory commission has discussed- the existing safety problem at!Donaldson Park. Construction of the present backstop is i Council Letter No ~ 47 -2- Febn.a ry 9, 1976 quite unstable, which presents a'hazard to ballplayers.. on the field. The backstop height of 24 feet appears.. inadequate to 'stop foul. bails from entering .the tot iot. The commission has expressed concern that the backstop,be replaced and the safety hazard corrected a ; soon:as possible. The timing of'ithe bid process which must be: followed to undertake the ' , backstop project is such that construction could ,probably. not begin much before April 1, 1976. Tf construction of the backstop is not completed before the beginning: of the playing eason, the council should also indicate whether construction should be postponed until after the playing season, or whether. use. of the baseball facility should: be halted to,permit~construction during'the season. Construction later.-in the spring weuldnot-only interfere with the use of the ballfield, but would a so. do a great .deal of damage 'to the turf, It is recommended that the city council authorize `the city manager to obtain the necessary design service from Brauer and Associates and to advertise for bids for construction of the backstop.

OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager ~' Council Letter No. 46l Agenda February 9, 1976 The Honorable Mayor - I asd Members of the City Council City of Richfield Gentlemen.; Subject: 'Animal Kennel Contract 'The City of-Richfield currently has'a contract with. Oak. Crest Kennel to handle animals impounded by the city. That contract 'was implemented effective January ,l, 1975 and`in ongoing, remaining in effect unless either party gives thirty (30) days notice requesting some .change. The present' .contract: provides. for. a boarding fee• of $2.5.0 per day for any canine species. of animal and $1.75 per day for boarding any feline species of animal. The kenne .has requested. that-the contract be amended to provide for a flat. boarding fee'of $2.50 per day for any animal. Their .request is based on the fact that a large.. percentage of -their expense is personnel costs . In caring for ..the animals and maintaining a'nitary-kennel facilities, there is no difference in the actual costs incurred between canine and feline. The... Public Safety Department has contacted five other area kennels to compare boarding; fees:. The fees charged by the Oak .Crest Kennels are comparable to the range of .fees charged'by other. kennels. It might also be noted ;that many kennels do not provide boarding for cats . Of the. other kernels .contacted, only one does impounding, and that one is located in an area' much less convenient to;Richfie.ld than:-the Oak Crest Kennels. The city has experienced satisfactory service' during the past year. The problems experienced in previous :years with other kenne s which have done impounding for the .city have: not been'experienced with Oak Crest Kennels... The Environmental Health Department has inspected - the Oak Crest Kennels facilities. and has found them to meet all the applicable codes and standards. ,~ During 1978,; 84 felines were impounded. Most of these animals have been claimed by their owners within the five days which the law provides, and- r ~ ', :~ Council Letter No. 46 -2- February '9, 1976 CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA ~ r ' Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 45 Agenda'February 9, I976 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of :Richfield Gentlemen: - N. , Subj e,ct: Award of Bid .for One Rescue Truck Cab and Chassis Back rg ound Information The T976 approved budget includes an appropriation for the purchase of a Rescue Truck Cab and Chassis. The decision to purchase this vehicle-wa made by he city council upon staff recommendation that the existing vehicle was becoming ess suitable .for Richfield's expanding rescue needs . The existing vehicle does not provide sufficient storage space for the considerable equipment necessary for rescue work, and its general construction is not of a heavy duty 'nature required for emergency 'rescue work. With this in mind, the staff, in consultation with the fire division, developed bid specifications for a new rescue vehicle.... Bids were opened on February 4, 1976. Analysis ,: Three bids were received. for this item. Bids ranged from:.$4,877..25 to $5,173.00, a range:'.of $296.00.:.The low bid was submitted by North-Star Dodge, Inc. While this bid complied with most aspects of the. bid specifications , there. were some significant exceptions . To begin with, North Star was unable to provide-the desired heavy duty springs and rear axle.. Furthermore, they-were unable to provide a rear stabilizer bar. 'Freeway Dodge:, the econd .lowest bidder, .was also unable to comply with all aspects of the specifications because they : could not provide a .rear stabilizer bar. It is essential thaw the-truck ordered by the city possess:'rear stabilizer bars, ..heavy duty'springs and axles because: of the extensive amounts_of equipment carried` and the severe environment in which this :vehicle operates .' ~ It is estimated that 3000 pounds of equipment will be contained in this... vehicle.. 'Furthermore, it is probable that additional equipment will be requiredin the future: It is, therefore, beneficial for the city to purchase a vehicle possessing :heavy duty equipment.

RESOLUTION DETERMINING THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF A RESCUE TRUCK GAB and CHASSIS WHEREAS, competitive bids have been received by the city for the sale.to the city of a Rescue Truck Cab and Chassis, and WHEREAS , it appears necessary for the .City Council to evaluate the bids received and to make a determination as to the lowest responsible bidder based upon such evaluation, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Richfield,. Minnesota,. as follows: 1. The City Council herewith makes the following determination:.. a. There are sufficient variations in the design, construction and other features of a Rescue Tnlck Cab and Chassis so that such ..equipment is not capable of exact or precise specifications. It is, therefore,. necessary for the council to make a determin- ation of which of the bidders is the lowest responsible bidder on such equipment and, in doing so~, to consider in addition to the bid price, the quality, suitability, adaptability, and delivery: of the equipment. for the use it is intended. b. Based on such general criteria, the bid of Superior Ford, Inc. . is hereby. found and determined to be the lowest. responsible bid on the- Rescue Truck Gab and Chassis . c. This determination is based upon such considerations as: (1) The Superior Ford equipment .meets or exceeds ..all bid ' a ions set forth b the cit for the urchase of e ifi t s c c Y p Y p this equipment. k . (2) The Superior Ford equipment is best adapted to emergency rescue service by virtue of its heavy duty suspension design. (3) That the equipment bid by Northstar Dodge, Inc. and Freeway '~ Dodge, Inc. are incompatible with city needs in the following areas: (a .) The equipment-bid by Northstar Dodge, -Inc. does not meet specification requirements for rear axle and rear springs . (b.)

The lot on which the Toy Pony is located is in close proximity to residences as well as to several retail businesses. 5. .Since the Toy Pony began operation in September, 1975 the residents of the area, business patrons and a business owner have observed the following incidents which appear to 'relate directly to the operation of the Toy Pony: _ a. Litter in the farm of cans, bottles, _paper and broken glass have been discarded on the grounds surrounding the Toy Pony and in the general neighborhood. b. Patrons of the Toy Pony have been seen to iea~e the Toy Pony and loiter. upon surrounding. .. private property. c. In the evenings,.youngstershave been _ _. entering an apartment building located near the Toy Pony, running up and down the hills, smoking in the hallways, and disturbing tenants. d.' Youngsters have beenscratching windows of the' Richview Nursing Home, located. behind. -the Toy Pony and disturbing and .annoying the residents. ~ _ ,. • ~ -2- . e. When the establishment closes at night, perhaps as late as after midnight, the patrons leave the area b -car and on foot in a boisterous Y and disturbin manner i h anno s the resid n s g wh c y e t in the area . ~f. Patrons of the Toy Pony park their vehicles on other .private parking lots in the. area. g. Loud voices coming from the. interior of the` Toy Pony can be heard in the business premises"located next door. These noises include profanities and obsenities which tend to annoy .and alarm the patrons • of-that establishment. h. Patrons of the business-located next door, .~~~ . a beauty shop, have been verbally accosted'. by patrons- of the Toy Pony and have stoppedpatronizing,the business, i. Patrons of the Toy Pony stand around :the windows of the beauty shop and sit: on the vehicles . owned by .:patrons of the beauty shop. • j. Transactions believed to involve drugs have '~, been observed in front. of the .Toy Pony. 'I ~' k. Acts of vandalism including .siphoning of gas, damage to vehicles,. driving across lawns have . -all occurred in the immediate vicinity of the Toy. Pony.'. 6. Many of the problems which are .now occurring in the immediate vicinity of the Toy Pony appear not . .to .have existed at all .prior to the Toy Pony beginning operation. 7. A second arcade operating within.. the City of Richfield, located in close proximity to residential properties, and serving what appears to be the same type of patrons has _. been operated. for the same period of time but virtually , .without problems. 8.. The council .concludes that the nuisance consequences created .and. caused. by the operation of the Toy Pony are-.the -. direct result of a:"failure on the-part of the owners or managers of the Toy Pony to exercise adequate control over . ~ the business enterprise and supervision of the patrons. • .. . . _ ~ 9. The continued operation of the Toy Pony on ~~~ . the same basis which it has operated heretofore would constitute a public nuisance contrary to the general health, safety, welfare and morale of the community. II. The application for licenses to operate amusement devices at 611 East 77th Street is therefore denied. The effect . of this resolution is, however, stayed until the council meeting of-March 8, 1976. At that time the city council shall consider any plan which the applicant may :formulate to relieve the ac.verse impact to the surrounding area. Such a plan might include..`:e following elements: 1. Rules governing the conduct of patrons while on the premises and while leaving ar coming onto the premises; and providing for sanctions .for failure to comply. • 2. :The placing of a light at the rear of the• building. • 3. A policy or procedure for cooperation with nearby apartments, nursing homes and retail businesses in responding to .their complaints. concerning Toy, Pony. _ patrons. _Should the-city council determine at its March 8, 1976 meeting that the plan proposed by the applicant is reasonably fashioned to eliminate the cur•renfi problems, the council may then vote to gran t the requested amusement.device licenses subject to any conditions or stipulations which it may deem necessary to promote the public.. health, safety, welfare and morals. - . _. .~ ~~• . _ r- _.. _ r ~ ,~" .~ l , -CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office. of City Manager / _ Council Letter No . 41 l; ~ ~ `Agenda February 9 , 1976 The.Honorable Ma or - and , _ IVlembers` of th'e City Council.

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield _. Gentlemen: i Subject: Street Width Determinations. for 1.976. Street` ~ Improvement Project _ f The purpose of this council letter is to provide the city council- with information on` which to:-base final deci ions on street widtY determinations for certain streets `which have been included in the 1976 street improvement program.. Background Information ~ ~ On October 6,' 1975 the city council held a hearing and adopted a resolution authorizin g cityproject No. 674 which 3s the 1976. permanent street improvement ` project. At that meeting residents in the area bounded by; 66th Street; Penn Avenue, 62nd Street and Highway 35W expressed concern.regarding the width which would _ be established for certain streets `in this. area. Generally, the concern related to the.;effect which street widths ;could have on existing boulevard trees .. At the time of the hearing on October 6, neither the city staff nor the city's consulting engineers had completed sufficient field work to answer all of the questions coricerni~ig street widths. Normally, extensive -field "work and the related costs do not begin until after a project is authorized.. Therefore, the city council deferr~d action on thematter of street widths in this part of the project area~until f~Zrther data could be gathered ana rzviewed with residents . ~. : On January Y4- and 15, 19 76,,the public-works director and his staff met with residents to review. field data and discuss alternate strAet widths i*~: relation to potential effect on boulevard trees . Following those.. meetings the staff conducted a mail survey of th s ,part of the project-area t'o obtain additional input from residents. Approximately 600 individual parcels were surveyed with 360. survey- cards re urned, representing a generally high level of interest. A copy of the survey results received as of February 3, 1976 is attached.. ' The .booklet which. includes the survey results also includes copies of any ' Council Letter No. ~ 39 -2- February 9; 1976 petitions or letters; which have been received on this subject. Analysis j In studying street widths in this part of the project area .the city staff took-into consideration traffic volumes, acce s requirements for public safety vehicles, ease of driving and pedestrian safety in`the` neighborhood and general indications_of'on-street parking requirements, Traffic volumes although higher than some residential neighborhoods. because of limited. access to the area., .were not high enough to dictate any special treet width considerations. Gen- erally, the primary;: requirement for ease. of access for public safety vehicles is that there: be a free moving lane of traffic at all times . .This requirement for public safety vehicles can be met on various width streets as long as required parking restrictions are implemented. Ease of driving and pedestrian safety can also be accomplished with various width streets, but again, necessary. parking res rictions with narrow width streets should be implemented to achieve this. objective. Finally,, general obseraance of the streets in this neighborhood indicated that there is a normal amount of on street parking which .would indicate- that parking restrictions-should be imposed with narrow width streets. Survey results;: as well as the:two"public meetings indicated that a portion . of the residents iniths area are voncerned with.,the narrow'wdth of-some of these I, streets. - Removal of'various numbers of trpas as'indicat;~d by the attached- survey information could result in a normal width residential street. On the other hand, ` a decision to retain some or all boulevard trees could result in a decision to _ . establish streets with a width less than normal residential streets. ~If street-widths. are established whiich are substantially narrower -than. thee- standard residential street, it is important in'the opinion of_the city staf# that corresponding parking restrictions be implemented . ' The city's per~ianent street Policy calls for 36' residential streets which allows room for parking on both- sides of the street and two moving lanes of traffic on a residential street. It is the recommendation of the 'city staff that the following parking. restrictions:: should be implemented ifstreet widths of less than the standard residential street widths are :established. - Street Width ` Parking Restrictions 34 - 36' None` 28 "- 32' Parking permitted on { one side. only Less than Z8' No parking permitted Recommendations It is recomme ded that- the city council use the following four steps in resolving. street width probleixis in this part bf the .1976 street improvement program..... Presentation An initial presentation should be made by the public works director ' for the purpose of explaining the problem, indicating the process that. has been _ _ ... - _. _. Council Letter No . 3~9 _3 _ `February 9, 1976 used to analyze the problem and obtain citizen input. -. ~ Adoption of Parking Criteria -It would appear that the next logical step in determining street widths is to consider the reco mmen ded a p rking restriction .criteria proposed in this letter for various street .widths. In considering. these criteria, the followin al g ternatives are available to the city council:~ i 1. Adopt the ~ taff recommendation. or a variation of that re comme nda do n a nd use t~e =criteria in the decision making process of street widths by establishing on street parking restrictions wh .ere necessar atth time the s~reet width decision is made. y e 2. Make street width decisions. without regard to parking restrictions E and give consideration to establishing on street parking :restrictions at a later meeting. t ~; 3. Postpone donsideration of on street parking restrictions. until such - ~ t. time a s arkin ` p ~ g problems or hazardous conditions for vehicles or pedestrians develop. Non~'roblem Sfreets'i ,; There are sixty~•two blocks in this part of the project area . Ei n blocks represent streets where there are no tree - g .teen of these generall problems and,the residents have y, indicated their desire to have .standard width streets installed'. There= fore, it.is recornme~ided that the city council approve the standard street widths for the following: 1. Oliver:Ave ue from 62nd to,,66th Street 2 . Logan Aven 'e from ~ 6 2nd to 6 3rd Street ` 3 . James Aven~ie from .62nd to 63rd Street 4. Irving Avenue from 6~nd to 63rd 'Street 5. Humboldt A~enue from 62nd to 63rd Street 6.
