09-22-80 agendat CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 353 Agenda September 22, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Application for Raffle License (Fee Waived) An application for a raffle license has been submitted by the Parents Advisory Board, West Middle School Isabella Fund, for re- view by the staff in conformance with ordinance requirements. The applicants have requested that the license fee and fidelity bond be waived since the activity for which licensure is requested is for nonprofit purposes. The ordinance enables the city council to waive the license fee and fidelity bond for such purposes. City ordinance prohibits the sale of raffle tickets in resi- dential areas except with prior approval of the city council. The applicant has requested that the city council permit the sale of raffle tickets for this fund raising activity in residential districts. This item is placed on the city council agenda of September 22, 1980 as a special agenda item because the activity for which licen- sure is sought is for the month of October, 1980, and is to commence before the next regularly scheduled city council meeting. It is recommended that the city council approve the request for sale of raffle tickets in a residential area and also approve the applicant's request for waiving of the license fee and fidelity bond.

APPLICANT: / T- ~i tt Its ~- /~- Acs Sy Its The abov~ap~lic 'on was re19iv y the City of Richfield on ~~~ /~ 3/=sir /~ CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Off ice of City Manager Council Letter No. 352 Agenda September 22, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Minutes, Tabulations and Contract, Golf Course Fertilizer On September 19, 1980, bids were opened for the Richfield Rich Acres Golf Course fertilizer. The deputy city clerk, Admin- istrative Services Director, Community Services Director and other staff members were present. A copy of the bid minutes and tabulations are attached for council review. The specifications called for three different types of fertilizer, to include greens fertilizer, fairway fertilizer and fertilizer plus dicot. The specifications indicated that contract award may be based on a single product, any combination, or all of the three prod- ucts. Twnety-two sets of specifications were distributed. Two vendors submitted proposals as noted on the minutes and tabulations. The proposal of Howe Incorporated included "No Bid" for the greens fertilizer and fertilizer plus dicot. Their bid on fairway fertilizer calls for a unit price of $415.25 per ton for a total of $6,353.33. Anticipated delivery date is February 17, 1981, and a discount would apply if paid by June 1, 1981. With the discount, the total price for fairway fertilizer from Howe, Inc., less any discount, would be $6,099.20. The specifications for fairway fertilizer called for the 31% nitrogen to be .8% amoniacal nitrogen, 23.5% water soluble nitro- gen, and 6.7% water insoluble nitrogen. Essentially, this means that the fertilizer has slow release capabilities as well as fast release. The slow release is especially important in that it provides a con- tinuous growth stimulant. A fertilizer with basically fast release will "shock" the plant into growth, creating a turf which is more difficult to maintain and could cause problems for the golfer, and could cause long range problems with the turf canopy. Because the slow release specified is so important, the product proposed by Howe, Inc., would not be considered by staff to be an equal to the product specified. In addition, the Howe product is not of a uniform granular nature, which could cause additional problems in that the application would be uneven as the product leaves the machine making the application. The Howe product also has a higher than specified salt index, acidity or calcium carbonate factor. This means that more water will be needed on the turf canopy to reduce or eliminate the possibility of burning the leaf growth. Council Letter No. 352 -2- September 22, 1980 The second proposal was submitted by O.M. Scotts, Inc. This proposal included bids on all three products. This fairway fertilizer product does meet specifications in that the product is capable of slow release with some rapid release, the granules are uniform in nature, and the acidity is within the acceptable range. The other two products also meet specifications. Fertilizers are typically patented by each manufacturer. The specifications allowed for a firm to submit a proposal based on an "equal" to the fertilizer specified. O.M. Scotts, Inc., has been the :vendor in the past to receive the contract for fertilizer at the golf course. Although the regulation 18 hole course is now open for play, the staff is diligently working to establish and maintain a playable turf surface for golf. It is essential that the hybrid bluegrass used in seeding and topseeding the course has the proper nutrients. A sound program of fertilization also discourages fungal development, enables the desired grass species to combat weeds, yields a consistent growth pattern, and ultimately results in an aesthetically pleasing environ- ment for golf. The fertilizer application will take place next spring when weather and other conditions permit. O.M. Scotts, Inc., indicates the discount is available if the order is placed by September 30, 1980 and a total of 500 units are ordered of one or more of the three products included in the proposal. There is no problem with ordering now and storing until the product(s) are used as there is sufficient space available in the maintenance building. It is recommended that the city council take the following actions: 1. Accept the bid minutes and tabulations 2. Authorize the mayor and city manager to execute a contract with O.M. Scotts, Inc. for 124 units (2.8 ton) of greens fertilizer for a discount price of $2,400.33; for 478 units (15.3 ton) of fairway fertilizer for a discount price of $10,103.73 and for 138 units (3.8 ton) fertilizer plus dicot for a discount price of $5,004.42 and a total contract price for the three products of $17,508.48.

The staff is recommending that this primary goal be realized through three main objectives, listed in order of priority: 1. completion of_ sidewalks on both sides of arterial streets (see Exhibits A and B for a description of these streets); 2. sidewalk installations on both sides of collector streets (see Exhibits C and D for a description of these streets); 3. installation of sidewalks on residential streets on a selected need basis, by either local petition or council action. sees fit. to align munities. Within these stages, a conscious Richfield's pedestrian system with proposed schedule as it effort should be exerted those of neighboring com- The typical sidewalk proposed shall be constructed of concrete, five feet wide, and four inches thick (six inches thick at driveway approaches). An aggregate base would not be required, except where unfavorable soil conditions prevail. Handicap ramps would be located at the intersections with the streets, to provide a smooth transition from sidewalk to street. The sidewalk would typically be located within the boulevard, one foot from the property line. Council Letter No. 351 -2- September 22, 1980 cations is $10.00 per linear foot. Thus, installation of sidewalks on a typical avenue block (long block) will cost $6,000, and on a typical street block (short block) $3,000. A number of alternatives for financing sidewalk construction is available to the city council. In the past, residential property has typically paid for 20% of the cost of the sidewalk construction, while commercial property and multiple-family has paid 50%. This policy could be retained.

Council Members: Subject: Hearing on Special Assessments for City Project 705 The public hearing on the special assessment for city project 705 has been scheduled for the September 22, 1980 city council meeting. CP705 is the public improvement part of the L/H/N redevelopment project. Although an absolute necessity to the L/H/N redevelopment, the public improvements are supportive and not the primary economic stimulus for revitalization of the L/H/N commercial area. Develop- ment of private land in the L/H/N with projects such as K-Mart is the most important stimulus for revitalization. The five supportive elements of CP705 are: 1. Increase the traffic capacity and traffic safety of the redevelopment area streets; 2. Develop a shopping theme which like theme shopping centers creates customer identity and ties the shopping area together; 3. Provide improved pedestrian access, circulation, and safety; 4. Increase the amount of usable land available for redevel- opment purposes; 5. Protect the surrounding residential areas from traffic and conflicting land use. In other words, the traffic capacity of the streets has been in- creased by widening and intersection improvements. Curb cuts are being closed, and medians are being constructed to reduce congestion and improve safety. The pedestrian system is being improved with wide sidewalks and plazas. This pedestrian system separates vehicles and pedestrians. A shopping center theme is being created by landscaping, special pavement at intersections and in crosswalks, constructing entrance features and undergrounding utilities. ~ Council Letter No. 350 -2- September 22, 1980 Adding productive redevelopment land is accomplished by vacating unnecessary streets, relocating 65th Street to increase the effective use of land and separating residential and commercial streets. Special efforts have been made to limit thru traffic into the residential areas including cul-de-sacing streets, and reducing easy access to residential areas from the commercial area. CP705 was divided into three phases: Phase I (CP7050) - First Avenue from 65th Street to 66th Street, Nicollet Avenue from 64th Street to just north of 67th Street, 66th Street from First Avenue to Grand Avenue, and 65th Street from Rae Drive to First Avenue. This phase was completed in 1979. Phase II (CP 7052) - Lyndale Avenue from~64th Street to Lake Shore Drive, 66th Street from Grand Avenue through the Lyndale Avenue in- tersection. The Lyndale Avenue part of the Phase II is often re- ferred to as the FAU Project or Federal Aid Urban Project.. This project will be bid in 1980 and completed in 1981. Phase III (P 7053) - 66th Street from just west of Lyndale Avenue to Interstate 35W and a small portion of Lake Shore Drive just south of 66th Street. This project will be bid and constructed in 1981. The of CP 705 is $9,280..818, which includes the $1.4 million cost of capitalized interest on bonds sold to finance the project. Of this total amount, Hennepin County will contribute approximately $1.5 mately another $1.5 million. A bond issue sol on September 8, 1980 will provide the revenues the remaining project cost.

Each property owner ~ Council Letter No. 350 -3- September 22, 1980 has been notified of the specific total of the proposed assess- ment for their property, and of the public hearing scheduled be- fore the city council on September 22, 1980. The term of the proposed assessment is 20 years. The city council preliminarily established an 8% interest rate on the unpaid balance of the special assessments each year. In accordance with council action on September 8, 1980, all affected property owners have been notified that the interest rate on the assessment will be 9%, rather than 8%. A previous city council commitment to prop- erty owners in the area provided that the special assessments-would be spread over the life of the assessment so that the principal and interest payments each year would be approximately equal.. The proposed assessment roll has been established on that basis. A property owner has several financing .alternatives in meeting the assessment obligation: 1. Prepayment in full, no financing costs: Under state law, a property owner may prepay his/her special assessment, without interest, if paid in full within. 30 days after the city council adopts the assess- ment roll. 2. Partial pre-payment, reduction of interest payable: In the year of adoption, partial prepayment of an assessment in any amount not less than $100 is allowed if the original and principal amount of the assess- ment is $300 or more and such partial prepayment is made within 30 days after adoption of the assessment roll. Such partial prepayment made will bear no inter- est. The unpaid balance will be respread over the life of the adopted roll. 3. Certification: The adopted assessment will be certified to Hennepin County and spread out in equal annual installments wit interest calculated at 9% per year. The principal and interest payment due each year will be shown on the property tax statement. For this project, the annual principal and interest payment over the 20 years is about equal each year. 4. Prepayment in full of any unpaid balance, cancellation of future interest: Such payment will cancel future interest installments from appearing on future tax statements. ~ Council Letter No. 350 -4- September 22, 1980 The city engineer will public hearing to describe It is recommended that the affected property owners su tion, and respond to quest' public hearing, it is reco attached resolution, adopt' KN/eja be present at the September 22, 1980 the CP 705 public improvement project. city council receive testimony from bsequent to the city engineer's presenta- ions at that time.

Bergh Deputy City Clerk y/~ CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 349 Agenda September 22, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: the sale of three properties adjacent to the Crosstown Highway. The parcels are located at 6204 Morgan Avenue, 6209 12th Avenue and 6204 Vincent Avenue (see attached maps). When bids for these properties were requested, the county discovered that the City of Richfield owned them. The city had purchased the lots in the edL 1~/ 1 70 V 5 L.V ~JCL1Ll 1.L 1.11C 111.7 LC11.L Gi l-1 V11 VL wa~..cL uuu ocw c.i i.i++~-.~ . To complete the sales process, the county offered to repurchase the property from the city.. This request_grompted the city to reevaluate the future of this land. Alternatives examined in- cluded: 1. Rezoning the land for commercial development. This was unlikely because it would be an incompatible use in a residential area; 2. Using the parcels as open space for parks. The lots are too small to be versatile enough for such a pur- pose; 3. Allowing single family homes to be built. The lots irregular shape and size do not meet requirements, without variances, for construction.. Utility ease- ments also prevented utilization of the lots for housing; 4. Negotiating sale of the parcels to adjacent property owners, and 5. Returning the parcels to the county. On February 13, 1978, the city council considered the county's request to repurchase this property, and referred the request to the planning commission for review and recommendation. On Febru- ary 21, 1978 and again on March 28, 1978, the planning commission Subject: Recommendation Regarding Disposition of City Owned Property, The "Crosstown Lots" Council Letter No. 349 -2- September 22, 1980 maintained, as vacant land, to serve as a buffer between the residential area and the Crosstown Highway. The commission felt that the vacant parcels served a public purpose when considering factors such as noise control, house spacing, public health, vis- ual aesthetics, and some future undesignated public use. They specifically mentioned that the lots on Morgan and Vincent Ave- nues are attractively landscaped and should remain that way, and that houses should not be squeezed in between the existing houses and the road. Thus, it was recommended that the parcels not be returned to the county. On April 10, 1978 the city council authorized the staff to explore the negotiated sale of these parcels to the adjacent prop- erty owners. This city action was taken after the county stopped maintaining the parcels as part of their routine crosstown highway right-of-way maintenance program.

No bid was re-. ceived for the property on Vincent Avenue. for housing uses. This evaluation was undertaken because of the very limited availability of housing sites in Richfield. Lot size, easement locations, neighborhood suitability and deed restrict- ions have been reviewed for each of these parcels. The parcel at 6209 12th Avenue has a deed restriction that prevents construction given the existing parcel dimensions. The opinion of our legal counsel is that these restrictions would be very difficult to re- move. The parcel could be sold subject to restrictions that maintain the utility easements. It would be necessary to relocate the watermains at an estimated cost of $5,000 per parcel. This cost could be borne by the city or a developer. Because the property is subject to high traffic noise, techniques to reduce it on the home's interior would have to be used. The new homes would be valued at approximately $75,000. The homestead tax revenue to the city could approxi- mate $1,500 yearly. Prior to returning to the council for action, the HRA staff Council Letter No. 349 -3- September 22, 1980 ne more appropriate to provide that their suture use be for open space. Because of the lot size and proximity to high noise levels, the homes would probably not be similar to the existing adjoining homes. The amount of yard space remaining after construction of a house on the lot would be limited and not supportive of long- term occupancy. By selling to the adjoining property owners, the lots will remain essentially as open space. One bidder, for ex- ample, would like to plant additional landscaping and locate a fence on the lot. With sale of these properties, the city would no longer have the burden of maintenance costs, and would receive a small amount of additional tax revenue. at 6209 12th Avenue and that they be kept essent- It is also recommended that the staff be directed to continue seeking a buyer for the property at 6204 Vincent Avenue.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MIi`7NESOTA , Office of City Manager . Council Letter No. 348 Agenda September 22, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Street Lighting Policy The city installed a uniform system .of street lighting on all residential streets during the mid-1970's, in conjunction with the permanent street improvement program. This system provides a light at every interval of 220 feet, (two mid-block lights) and has produced a standard of well lit, high visibility streets in the City of Rich- - field. There are five streets which were not included in the lighting program which need to be addressed at this time: Penn Avenue, Nicol- . let Avenue, Portland Avenue, 76th Street and 66th Street. The three north-south streets (Penn, Nicollet, Portland) have one light at each intersection. Seventy-sixth Street has no lighting other than spill- over from the lighting system on adjacent avenues. Sixty-sixth Street has lighting at each intersection plus the spillover from adjacent avenues. In addition, the portion of 66th Street in the LHN ~edevel- opment area has been upgraded t'o a high standard of visibility. The current lighting on 66th Street provides the same standard of lighting established in other areas of~Richfield. However, the lighting on Portland, Nicollet, and Penn Avenues, and on 76th Street does not meet the standard of high visibility that has been established in the rest of the city. These streets have a high volume of vehicular traffic, high pedestrian use, and high density housing. The purpose of this council letter is to propose a policy for improvement of the lighting levels on these streets. The details of the street lighting improvement policy are as follows: 1. High Visibility Standard of Lighting The city has established a standard of lighting in the past when the permanent streets were installed. Penn Avenue, -'~ Nicollet Avenue, Portland Avenue, and 76th Street do not meet these standards. Midblock lighting should be provided on 76th Street. This could be achieved by having NSP in- stall 47 midblock lights on existing NSP poles, as was done ~on the other east-west streets. Since the poles are already in place, three ,~~uuid be no installation charge for this . ? 'ghting and therefore, the city would incur no capital cost _. ,; -- --- The lighting for Penn, Portland & Nicollet Avenues would re= quire 120 lights at a cost of $178,239, including installa- tion. This cost represents the cost of installing light ' poles and standards on all of these roadways. .. _> tr1..,41='-~ ~~.Y•.,.~e. . .ii9~f~ ~ Council Letter No. 348 -2- September 22, 1980 ~ 2. Initiation of Project The city council can initiate a street lighting program through one of two methods. Alighting improvement project may be initiated by a petition signed by the owners of af- fected property totaling 35 percent or more of the total assessable footage. Upon receipt of such a petition, the council may order an investigation of a project with sched- uling of necessary procedures and hearings required by law. A lighting improvement project may also be initiated by the .~ council at its discretion. In the case of such council initiation, the property owners shall be notified in ac- cordance with normal procedures and legal requirements. 3. Assessment for Lighting Cost It is proposed that the property owners on Penn Avenue, .Nicollet Avenue and Portland .,Avenue be assessed for 100 percent of the cost of the street lighting. These property owners were not assessed previously for any of the street lighting that was installed with the permanent streets from 1972-1977. The previous lighting assessment for that project was $2.00 per front foot (75 ft. lot assessed $150). The , '~~~•~ estimated assessment for the proposed project .would be $3.08 per foot, at current costs ($231 for 75 ft. lot). There would be no assessments necessary for the 76th Street proj- ect, since the city would incur no capital costs for light- ing there. This method of installation of lighting for the streets (as opposed to avenues) is as the norm from 1971 to 1978. • 4. berating Cost Considerations . If the city were~to light Portland Avenue, Nicollet Avenue, Penn Avenue and 76th Street, 44 of the current NSP-owned lights on those areas would be eliminated and replaced with 120 city owned lights, with an•additional 47 NSP-owned lights to be installed as well. This net increase of 123 lights would increase the operating budget of the city by $5,035.20 a year for increased maintenance and energy charges. How- ever, updating of these major arterial streets to the estab- lished lighting standard is necessary to provide the same level of service to all Richfield residents. The city has initiated a test of low pressure sodium lighting to evaluate the energy savings and the public reaction to this type of lighting. The results of this evaluation should govern any decision regarding the choice of a bulb for new lighting in - such a project, and any other lighting policy in the future. The city staff will be present at the September 22, city council meeting to discuss this matter in greater depth. If the council • desires to proceed further, a resolution detailing the policy should ' f ._ ~, ~ ,~~..~~~~.2~ .,1 y , 7 ~ V i S N .- '. .. --. S ~~ . ~:..~ :~.,.~~..~. '-"x,;.,~4ragtaR~~~.i.a.~-..

Revenue Bond Issue Canteen Company of Minnesota At the September 8, 1980 city council meeting, the city council approved an off-street parking contract for the Canteen Company of Minnesota located at 6300 Penn Avenue. The Canteen Company is desiring to expand their facility by approximately 20 percent. Attorneys for the Canteen Company recently approached the city regarding the possibility of issuing an Industrial Revenue Bond for the expansion. They are anticipating the bond issue being in the neighborhood of $275,000. This request establishes a new area of utilization of Industrial Revenue bond capacity by the City of Richfield. In the past we have utilized IDR bonds to provide incentives for development in the L/H/N rede- velopment area and additionally to encourage development of the site immediately south of 76th Street adjacent to I35. We justified the Corporate Travel project on the basis that the site was a very difficult site to develop, due to the topography and access. The Canteen Corporation property is industrial property already zoned within the community with no particular difficulties for development of it. At the same time, the size of the bond issue is extremely small in terms of the Industrial Revenue Bond- ing laws. The resolution enclosed with this council letter would set a public hearing on October 13, 1980 at 7:00 p.m. in the Rich- field City Hall Council Chambers. At that time the developer would present the justification for the project to the city council and request approval of the resolution authorizing pre- liminary approval. In the interim, the city staff will be pre- paring a policy statement for the city council to consider on the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. While it is most likely impossible to consider all types of IDR issues which might come before the council, it would appear desirable to have a better handle on the process and policy implications of this subject matter. Council Letter No. 347 -2- September 22, 1980 It is recommended that the city council adopt a resolution setting the date of hearing on October 13, 1980 at 7:00 p.m. at which time more information will be presented for council action.

The HRA could then implement the project. In addition, the council must decide whether the structure, once re- located, will be similar in character to residences adjacent to 6500 Standish. A letter from the school, indicating the work to be done, an elevation and site location of the finished home, photographs of the site and adjacent house have been included to assist the city council in its' evaluation of this matter. A petition with signatures of adjacent residents will be available at the council meeting. Iri addition, an advertisement was placed in the Richfield Sun Newspaper indicating that public testimony would be received on this proposal at the September 22, 1980 city council meeting. The adjoining prop- erty owners have been notified by mail that they could appear at the meeting to discuss the issue. The city council approved the acquisition of the property at 6445 21st Avenue South on August 28, 1978. The purchase price was $45,000. The intent of the acquisition was to permit expansion of the New Ford Town Park. The~Planning Commission found the acquisition to be in conformance with the comprehensive plan and designated the property as public park and open space by resolution. At the time of acquisition, the house was to be rented for about two years, and then moved to a lot on Standish Avenue. Relocating the house was to be done in connection with a New Ford Town Park improvement project. Be- cause of a change in requirements for utilizing Community Development Block Grant monies, there are not funds available for this park improvement project at this time. However, the Vo-Tech would like The Richfield HRA is proposing to relocate the house at 6445 ' Council Letter No. 344 -2- September 22, 1980 to undertake a rehabilitation project with the HRA similar to those cooperative projects done in the past, and this property appears highly suitable for such rehabilitation. During the summer of 1980, the Vo-Tech contacted the HRA, indi- cating their interest in starting another rehabilitation project. The cooperative effort of the HRA and Vo-Tech in the past has resulted in two substantially rehabilitated single family homes. These are located at 7238 Wentworth (a 1977 project) and 7444 Bryant (a 1979 project). The Vo-Tech has evaluated the house and proposed lot, and believes that the house can be rehabilitated for approximately $44,000. The rehabilitation will provide a new basement, one or two additional bedrooms, a new roof, siding, windows, a modernized kitchen and bath- room, new wiring, plumbing and heating systems, and new insulation. The house, as with previous projects will be sold to a moderate income family that qualifies under the FHA Section 235 program. With this program, the maximum selling price for a three-bedroom home is $45,600. A four-bedroom home would have a maximum selling price of $52,800. After meeting HRA program expenses, any cash balance could be given to the city to offset the original cost of purchasing the house and vacant lot. The HRA will be evaluating the contract to participate with Vo- Tech during October. If the house and property transfer and the house moving is approved, the contract with Vo-Tech can be executed. The house would be relocated in late October, and the exposed founda- tion at the park leveled. The house rehabilitation should be com- pleted by the summer of 1981. The house moving is suggested at this time because Vo-Tech is ready to start another project. The lease for the tenants now living at 6445 21st Avenue South expires October 1, 1980. If the house is resold using the Section 235 program with Section 8 income limits, the city will receive credit from the Metropolitan Council for providing additional family housing, and for using local money to acquire the structure. Because the city acquired the land for park purposes, the house will have to be relocated at some time. Respectfully submitted, ~~~ ~ ~ .

State statutes have established maximum time limitations for review of some of these items. Regarding the rezoning, 60 days from the date of referral is the maximum time permitted. For a Planning Commission finding regarding the sale of city-owned property to the HRA, the council may establish its own deadline. It is recommended that the HRA and City Council jointly authorize Cooperative Living Centers to proceed with the second phase of their marketing program. Secondly, it is recommended that the City Council refer the rezoning, street anal alley vacations, and the disposition of city owned property to the Planning Commission for review.

There has been a question raised as to the safety of allowing parking only one day a week on 76th Street. Accident records for 1979 and thus far in 1980 indicate that thirteen rear-end type accidents have occurred on 76th Street. Four have occurred on Sunday, and two of those involved parked cars. One of those two involved failure of brakes. This accident history woulci indicate that the provision for parking on 76th Street on Sundays does not appear to create a significant safety problem, probably because of the decreased traf- fic volumes on that day of the week. signs be posted.

Over the past one and one-half years, the city council has periodically discussed the need to improve alleys within our community. Beginning with the city council meeting of February 12, 1979, the council took under advisement a capital improvement program providing for the resurfacing of the city's alleys. Sub- sequent to that time, on May 14, 1979, the city council adopted a preliminary engineering report and set a policy for the permanent alley surfacing program. On July 23, 1979, the city council held a public hearing to gain input from citizens living in the Jeffer- son Park cluster of alleys located generally in the neighborhood of the area bounded by 66th Street, Penn Avenue, 70th Street and Xerxes Avenue. At the hearing, 28 persons gave testimony, ranging from wanting deeper holes to control the alley "speedways", to a firm "no" to making the alleys permanent because of the high cost involved. The council rejected the permanent alley improvement program by unanimous decision. They requested that additional in- formation be put together concerning the conditions of the alleys within our community. The council received the report concerning the alley conditions in late 1979, and decided to hold future public hearings on those alleys which were in the most deteriorated con- dition. Further work on the alley improvement program was deferred until the city engineering office could deal with the issue in more detail, due to changeover in staffing. There are approximately eleven miles of unpaved alleywavs in the City of Richfield. The exi~ ski eys in the ty fall into three basic categories: 1)-an oil stabilized surface 2) a_dirt __ surface and 3) an alley w_hich~as been deeded or has an e~s_~ment, --_ --- - but is unimprovecr-andvTias not been used as a travelled alleyway. We have 96.5 blocks of oiled alleys, 2 blocks_of dirt alleys, and 9.5 bloc.- ks_of ~n~mproued~a Z~.~.~s: Since approximate l--~-~y 1~9~1 , these alleys have been graded and patched on an as need basis by street divis~Qn_,personnel when manpower is not utilized for other~prior- -- _ ities within the city. However, because of sub-soil conditions or drainage, and the fact that this grading and filling process is merely temporary, the surface condition of the alleys has continued to deteriorate. and has become a constant maintenance problem.

Streets were -ont foot, spread over three ~ 20~_,per front foot basis ocess for se of the ir~itiation of the_p_~rmanent street improvement program. That was the last time that any sealcoating of alleyways was undertaken by the city. There are generally four areas where alleys__are_located in the City of Richfield. Four clusters are indicated on the map attached ~_ with ~s__~~ouncil letter and are labeled as the Jefferson Park Clus- ~~ ter, Madison-Richfield Lake Cluster, Legion Lake Cluster, and the Augsburg Park Cluster.. In the initial alley improvement program considered by the city council, it was recommended and approved by ~~ the city council that the alley improvement program be initiated in the Jefferson Park Cluster and proceed to the other three clusters on a systematic basis. Subsequent to the July 23, 1979 public hear- ing, that approach was rejected by the city council and information concerning the condition of the various alleys in the community was requested. Also attached to this memorandum is a li~~ing ofall of the cur_rent - a11e_~i~_i„iithin__the--~omm~znity. The alleys are rated on a rating system as follows: 1. Fully deteriorated condition 2. Severe deterioration 3. Moderate deterioration 4. Slight deterioration 5. Good condition This is the same numbering system adopted for the permanent street program. As can be noted on the survey made of the alleys, there are very few alleyways within our community that are ranked "4:"' or ~~5~~. Council Letter No. 341 -3- September 22, 1980 Engineering Report _ -The engineering consultants retained. by t~..P-~t~' invest.lq~ed ___ -- three paving-__mat~er.ia~ls, and selected concrete as the most usable paving m~~.~r_i_al__fnr__a_~i.ty__._~hy__paving__program. Their recommenda- tion provided that all alleys would be paved with six inches of concrete to a 12' wide section with an alley gutter. Although the city staff originally favored asphalt surfacing, due to the lower cost- and-ava>_abl~ty, the engineering study recommended the use of concrete for the following reasons: 1. Concrete can be placed with better accurac than asphalt. In flat areas such as Richfield, it be- comes important to place the paving material to close grade tolerances to avoid puddling. Concrete can meet these standards more readily than asphalt. 2. Concrete alleys can be shaped to provide a-dis- tinct center alley gutter. This gutter is important to provide adequate drainage between the public ave- nues and streets. 3. Concrete. is_.~c~re l,.i`kely to contain., its_._st~~?r_tural integrity throughout its entire width, which should prevent the alley edges from breaking up and unravel- ing. 4'. Concrete can withstand the higher weight loads assoc- iated wth~_delivery, garbage trucks and other vehicles that frequently use alleys and does not need to be constantly compacted to remain structurally sound. 5. Concrete is less prone_to_ fail due to petroleum_sQills, chemical spills, and other volatile substances that are found in garbage and trash containers set in alleys. While there is a cost differential between the concrete alley- ways and asphalt, the increased advantages of using concrete as well as decreased maintenance costs over the long-term justify the construction of alleyways in the City of Richfield with concrete as opposed to asphalt. Recommendations publ The residents who eared at the July erson Park Cluster 23, 1979 city council seemed to generally be opposed to ma~or_,improvements in favor of continued use of 1< ~cost~ur~facing-that is maintain~_n__a _pa_ssable condition. T,Y~e. rationale for._ their a~uments appeared to be strictlyeconomic. Alley maintenance by the city in recent years has been direct- ed on a spot basis to local alley problems. With constantly de- teriorating conditions, this spot maintenance approach,__although Council Letter No. 341 -4- September 22, 198.0 involving minimal cost, is becoming ineffective as evidenced by citizen feedback. The costs of maintenance are currently included in the general street maintenance operational costs on a minimal level. Since alley improvements and maintenance benefits only those residents that have alleys, it is recommended that future alley re- surfacing programs be on a more systematic basis with improvement costs assessed against benefited properties. The mini_m_um level of alley improvements is an oil stabiliza- tion process (sealcoating) similar to that performed on ci'~y s -eets and alleys prior to the street improvement program. Oil stabiliza- tion has an estimated cost of $5.OO~er lineal foot of alley, with an estimated useful design life of. three to foLr_ ears. ~~Tv"er a -. ~ ,_ _ ~ _i _ , ,.,-....~ r.~ ter, ;~mr~rnvamPnt by thlS method An intermediate level of alley improvement is construction of _ -- -- . a bituminou-s aI-~ey resurfacing _similar_ to_that constructed on_ t e di._y__ :tee s :~ ~ Bituminous surface alley improvements has an , estim- ated initial cost of $20 per lineal foot of alley With new seal- coa~ing at approximately seven-year intervals, it has a useful e- sign life of nearly 30 years. Over a 30-year time period, the total cost of improvements by this method is estimated to be $24 per lineal foot of alley. The best and recommended method of alley improvement is by con- struction of a concrete surfaced alley. A concrete alley has an estimated initial cost__of__~32_~er lineal foot, and a useful design life in ex~~~_s__of 30__years. The total cost over a 30-year period is estimated at $32_-~?~r_~_ineal foot. When these costs are reviewed it is obvious that the method of improvement with the least initial cost is the highest projected total cost over the improvement life. initiated by one of two ----__ a_pp~ro~a~c_h~s . The alley improvement can be initiate-~gePar- ation of petitions signed by owners of affected property totaling 35% or more of the total project assessable footage. After receiv- ing the petition, the council can order an investigation of the pro- ject with the scheduling of necessary procedures and hearings as required by law. Alternatively, the city council may initiate an alley improvement project at its own discretion. In this case, the council notifies affected property owners in accordance with normal procedures and legal requirements. After citizen input is received at a scheduled public hearing, the council can order construction based on its determination-of need or determination of public in- terest.

There is one such item on the city council agenda of September 22, 1980. Sheridan Park Pathway The adopted 1980 Capital Improvements Budget provides a $25,000 appropriation for Sheridan Park, for minor park redevelop- ment. As is typical of the park redevelopment process in the City of Richfield, several meetings have been held with the neighbor- hood, and the resultant plans were previously approved by the city council. One of the items in that plan is an asphalt pathway with a basically north/south direction. The six foot wide path- way is to begin at approximately 65th Street and Thomas Avenue on the north, and proceed south on the east side of the tennis courts to connect on the south at the Thomas Avenue cul-du-sac. Nine sets of plans, specifications and proposal forms were issued for this pathway. Four vendors submitted quotations. Prior Lake Blacktop, Inc. quoted $3,002.00; Bituminous Roadways, Inc. quoted $4,073.20; Barber Construction Company, Inc. quoted $5,304.00; and P•lunn Blacktop, Inc quoted $17,606.92. The quotations are based on unit prices for an estimated 34 cubic yards of aggregate base, one unit corrugated metal pipe and an estimated 2,760 square feet of 2z" bituminous surface. Payment will be based on the actual field measurements. It is recommended that the city council approve the quotation from Prior Lake Blacktop, Inc., at a unit price of $14.00 for the aggregate base, $130.00 for the corrugated metal pipe, and $.85 for the bituminous, for construction of the Sheridan Park Pathway. The total estimated purchase will be $3,002.00. It appears that the work will qualify for a state trail grant with a 400, or $1,200.80 reimbursement of this cost.

The city was awarded a grant of $8,000 from the Minnesota League of Cities to support this test project. The amount of this grant was based on estimated prices of lamps and fixtures to be supplied by the Norelco Company at a reduced cost for test purposes. Use of low pressure sodium lighting is a recent development in the United States, and I~'orelco has been the leader in this area, having the majority of all current such lighting installations nationwide. Norelco is the only company cur- rently having installations in Minnesota, with test sites in Blooming- ton, Minneapolis, and St. Paul. They have developed a solid track record of experience in this field. For this reason, Norelco was the only company from whom a bid was solicited to provide this lighting. It is the opinion of the staff that the test objective of this light- ing installation will best be met by using the most extensively proven low-pressure sodium lamps and fixtures, which are those available from the Norelco Company. The special test price quoted by Norelco is $9,669 for the lamps and fixtures. The $1,669 cost that is not covered by the $8,000 grant would come from the building and energy improvement account in the 1981 capital budget. It is the recommendation of the staff that the city council authorize the purchase of the low pressure sodium lamps and fixtures from the Norelco Company, in the amount of $9,669. Respectfully submitted, Karl Nollenberger City Manager KN/jf cc: Community Development Director Community Services Director City Engineer /w o CITY OF RICHFIELD, DIINNESOTA Office of City Manager Council Letter No. 337 Agenda September 22, 1980 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Richfield Council Members: Subject: Authorization to Contract with State of Minnesota for Food, Beverage and Lodging Inspections For many years, the Minnesota Department of Health has conducted inspection activities with regard to all food, beverage and lodging businesses. In the past, all such businesses have been required to have state licenses, as well as any appropriate local license. The State of Minnesota is now in the process of turning over these in- spection responsibilities to either counties or local units of govern- ment, whichever is equipped to most effectively handle such inspection responsibilities. The Hennepin County Department of Health is pre- sently assuming these inspection responsibilities throughout the county, with exception of municipalities within the county who have th.e re- sources to conduct adequate inspections locally. For some time, Richfield's environmental health activities have included these inspections of local business establishements. Pre- sently, these businesses are required to be licensed both by the state and by the city. Additionally, these business establishments have been subjected to inspections by both city staff, as well as staff of the State Department of Health. The proposed consolidation of in- spection activities will eliminate the existing duplication of effort, and provide for a less complex inspection process for our local busi- ness eatablishments. The inspection process seems to fit well into our newly consolidated city inspection program. As council members may recall, just recently the city entered into a contract with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety to provide for all fire-related inspections in hotel/motel establishments. The addition of formal responsibility to conduct health inspections of these facilities would compliment that inspection program. The City of Richfield presently receives approximately $85,000 per year in subsidies from the State Community Health Services Act. Of this amount, approximately $22,800 is allocated for health inspec- tion activities. Since we are already conducting local inspections of the establishments which have required previous state licenses, we would anticipate no additional work load by~assuming full responsi- bility for this inspection activity. However, if the city did not assume this responsibility, the county would automatically take over this area of activity and a continued duplication of effort would exist. Council Letter No. 337 -2- September 22, 1930 Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Director of Public Safety, in which I concur, that the city council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a formal contract with the State of Minnesota to locally provide food, beverage and lodging health related inspection programs for_the City of Richfield. A copy of the proposed contract is attached for council consideration.

This requested study was in response to residents who have appeared at city council meetings expressing concern regarding nuisances caused by loose dogs and cats. A committee comprised of four city staff members representing residents, planning and zoning, public safety and environmental health was selected to review this problem. Most of the complaints received through the feedback program or by calls to the public safety community services officers concern loose animals and; or excrement deposited by dogs and cats on lawns and in city parks. At the present time, the city has issued licenses for 2,900 dogs and 540 cats. It is estimated that fewer than 50 percent of dog and cat owners license their pets, so it can be as- sumed that there are at least 6,000 dogs and over 1,000 cats in Richfield, Dogs under the age of six months do not require a license. In their discussions and review of the current animal control ordinances, the city staff considered the following issues: Vicious Dogs Once responds to a ca animal is gone. mals each month., community service officer very often the offending licensed. Council Letter No. 335 -2- September 22, 1980 $5.00 impoundment fee, payable to the city, plus boarding fees of $4.00 per day. If the animal is not licensed, a license, in the amount of $5.00 plus a $3.00 late fee, must be purchased before the animal can be released. A citation is also issued, with a fine ranging from $25 to $300. However, it has been our experience that, when pet owners appear in court in response to the citations, the fines are usually suspended. First Offense: $ 5.D0 . Second Offense: $25.00.

This is particularly irritating to persons wishing to picnic at Augsburg Park, and for those using the playgrounds. Therefore, ordinance amendment be enacted which would prohibit dogs in city parks and playgrounds. This would be easier to enforce than a pooper scooper ordinance, and would alleviate some of the problems with dog feces in our parks and playgrounds. Proper signing of the parks and playgrounds would be a necessity with this ordinance. Barking Dogs The nuisance of barking dogs is adequately covered by the present city ordinance and no changes are recommended. . Vicious Dogs It would be the staff's recommendation that an ordinance be ap- proved which would allow for disposal of an animal after it attacks The committee discussed the possibility of a "pooper scooper" ordinance to address this problem. An ordinance of this sort would make it mandatory for persons walking their pets to have a "pooper scooper" in their possession and to remove any messes left by their • Council Letter No. 335 -3- September 22, 1980 Summary In summary, the staff would recommend that the city council ~~N approve the following: / ~ \// ~~ 1.

This benefit in- crease was arrived at for all relief associations in the state as a compromise to the phase out of the relief associations statewide, and all new police and firefighters being put into a statewide public safety PERA (Public Employees Retirement Association) Plan. The benefit increase included in the legislation basically related to the provision of additional retirement benefits for service benefit amounted to one-hal number of years over 25 yea and fire relief association provided for an alternative cost of the alternative ben salary when both normal and unfunde As a result of the legislation, we underwent discussions with the Richfield Police Relief Association and the Richfield Fire Re- lief Association. In addition, we received actuarial information from the firm of Gabriel-Roeder-Smith and Company, concerning the cost of various benefit options which would serve as alternatives to the benefit increase as established in the statute. Both assoc- iations have requested us to consider alternative benefits other than the one established by the state law. Both alternatives. cost less than the 1.26 percent limit set by the legislature. The 1.26 percent limit was the cost of the legislatively enacted benefit in the St. Paul pension plans.

With the realization that the police officers and firefighters contributions will increase by 2 percent on January 1, 1981, unless phased in by the city council, I would recommend that the city council adopt the resolution pro- viding the alternative benefit plan for each fund. In addition, I would recommend that the city council not consider phasing in the payroll percentage increase that police officers and firefighters will pay effective January 1, 1981, but rather allowing the increase to go from 6 percent to 8 percent on that date. All of the above items have been discussed thoroughly with the relief associations.

At the present time the city has an ordinance prohibiting cars to be adver- tised for sale while located on city streets. However, it is not illegal for vehicles to be parked on private property while exhibiting for sale signs. In addition, cars can be parked on the grassy area of private residences, and not re- stricted soley to hard surface areas. Council Member Luettinger is concerned that this detracts from the general appearance of the community. The city does require that recreational vehicles, and boats stored on private property are parked on hard surfaces. In addition, any long term storage of vehicles is restricted by the code. Subsequent to the discussion, the city council may desire to request the city attorney to draft ordinances concerning this area of interest. Respectfully submitted, _.
