Item #1 LYNDALE AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION UPDATE AND CAPITAL PROJECT
PLANNING
CM Rodriguez introduced the Lyndale Financing and Capital Planning process. She gave a
brief overview of the process and welcomed Director of Public Works Asher.
Director Asher reviewed the Lyndale historical budget context from 2017 up to 2019 including
changes in the 66th Street project. She also discussed aspects of the budget for 66th Street.
Council Member Supple wanted clarification on the municipal state aid account. Director Asher
listed how the funds had been adjusted and applied.
Director Asher discussed the 77th Underpass construction and outlined the process. In
addition, Director Asher proposed that the Five Year Plan will need a reimbursement resolution.
Council Member Whalen asked about selling the $1.2 million in bonds. He also inquired if that
will be paid back with utility bonds and what the impact would be for the constituents.
Director Asher clarified that when a bond is sold, payments begin the following year. The bond
would be paid back with utility costs collected.
Council Member Trautmann asked for explanation on the process of paying for the bond from
utilities.
Director Regis spoke to the collection for debt service utility bond and that debt service pays
out of utility funds.
City Manager Rodriguez gave an explanation of how utility funds not only pay for operating
costs for the infrastructure as well.
City Council Work Session Minutes -2- October 22, 2019
Director Asher discussed that selling the bond early helps with cash flow.
Council Member Trautmann expressed concern with the big picture plan and the long term
payment plan.
Director Regis clarified the initial plan of $2 million of debt has increased to $3 million
concerning the Lyndale project which will affect the tax levy. The new $1.2 million of debt from the
water utility bond will be paid out of the utility fund and there will be no effect on the tax levy.
Director Asher explained that 65t" Street is in need of repair in the near future and hopefully in
2023 the MSA funds will be back in the black and can be put toward that reconstruction.
Director Regis spoke to the Key Financial Strategies and estimated levy for each year going
forward to include the street reconstructions.
Council Member Supple asked if we are approaching the threshold of where the debt load is
too high. Director Regis confirmed that there is still room and not in danger of approaching that
number. City Manager Rodriguez explained that they are working to smooth out the debt issues.
Council Member Whalen expressed being weary of the increase of the debt but appreciates
that none of the future projects are projected to bond at the maximum amount.
Director Regis described the 2021 to 2024 and beyond reconstruction projects of 65th 69th
70t" and the 771" Underpass.
Council Member Trautmann questioned the margin on the outstanding debt and wanted
clarification of the city retaining its credit rating and how the debt is affecting the residents. Director
Regis and City Manager spoke to the concern of utility fees and/or property taxes going up for
residents.
Director Asher renewed the process for moving forward and the updated standard operating
procedures to avoid going over budget.
Council Member Supple asked if they have added an internal audit process. City Manager
Rodriguez confirmed that the procedure is more robust so overages are avoided.
Council Member Whalen showed his appreciation to the staff for finding ways to mitigate the
$3 million gap.
Item #2 PRESENTATION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS FOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Mayor Pro Tempore Garcia introduced the item and Jack Broz, Transportation Engineer.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider a resolution granting a conditional use permit to allow small wireless facilities in the right-of-
way near 6920 Penn Avenue South.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
SAC Wireless, on behalf of AT&T ("Applicant"), is requesting approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to
allow the installation of a small wireless facility in a residential area. The Applicant is proposing to replace a
City -owned light pole adjacent to 6920 Penn Avenue South with a new pole that will accommodate the
attachment of the small wireless facility. This site was identified by AT&T's radio -frequency engineers
as an area where cellular coverage is lacking and where light poles, utility poles, or other structures
that could feasibly hold a small wireless facility are present. The proposed small wireless facility is
able to fill a "pocket" of poor cellular coverage that signals from a traditional tower cannot reach.
In order to approve a CUP, the Council must find that the request is consistent with the purpose and goals of
the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code; complies with applicable performance standards; and will
not cause "undue adverse impacts" on governmental facilities, utilities, or services; or on the public health,
safety, or welfare. The proposed installation does not conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan or
Zoning Code. The placement on an existing (or replacement) light pole limits aesthetic impacts in
the Single -Family Zone, and the supplied frequency study indicates that radio -frequency emissions
will be within the acceptable limits for the general public set by the Federal Communications
Commission. Afull discussion of CUP requirements can be found in an attachment to this
report. Finding that the proposal meets requirements, staff recommends approval of the CUP for a
small wireless facility at 6920 Penn Avenue South.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve a resolution granting a conditional use permit to allow small wireless facilities in
the right-of-way near 6920 Penn Avenue South.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
State law gives "telecommunications right-of-way users" the right to install facilities in the right-
of -way. This right is subject to local governmental authority to manage right-of-way permitting. In
2017, the Minnesota Legislature amended the definition of a "telecommunications right-of-way
user" to include persons deploying facilities to provide "wireless service." Wireless providers
may deploy a "small wireless facility" or a "wireless support structure" in the right-of-way.
While the City's authority to deny permits in the right-of-way is limited, cities may make such facilities or
structures a conditional use in right-of-way located in "a district or area zoned for single-family
residential use or within a historic district." The City Council held a work session to discuss this issue on
July 25, 2017 and directed City staff to move forward with an amendment to make these facilities a
conditional use in single-family residential areas.
In July 2019, the Planning Commission reviewed applications for wireless facilities at 6 other sites
throughout the City. The City Council approved CUPS for those locations on August 13, 2019.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etch
• Small wireless facilities are a conditionally permitted use in the Single -Family Residential (R)
District.
• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established guidelines for human exposure
to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. All antenna sites must comply with established FCC
guidelines.
• The City Attorney's Office has advised that in order to reject an application based on health
impacts, the City would have to show (with evidence) that the Federal Government's ruling on the
allowable exposure limits is wrong.
• A policy to prevent a proliferation of installations in residential neighborhoods was discussed at the
Planning Commission meeting on October 28, 2019. The Director of RAN Engineering at AT&T
has indicated that the required spacing to avoid signal interference between small cell facilities is
approximately a one to two block radius. A policy related to spacing seems unnecessary at this
time.
• A full discussion of general CUP requirements and required findings can be found as an
attachment to this report.
C. CRITICALTIMING ISSUES:
60-DAY RULE: The 60-day clock 'started' when a complete application was received on October 15,
2019. A decision is required by December 14, 2019 or the Council must notify the Applicant that it is
extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days total) for issuing a decision.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. Installation and maintenance will be the responsibility of the Applicant.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
• A public hearing was held on October 28, 2019. Notice of the public hearing was published in the
Sun Current newspaper and mailed to properties within 350 feet of the site on October 17, 2019.
No members of the public spoke.
• The Planning Commission recommended approval (6-1).
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION .
• None

Property legally described above.
3. This conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions in addition to those
specified in Section 547.09 of the City's Zoning Ordinance:
a) The recipient of this approval shall record this Resolution with the County,
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 462.36, Subd. 1 and the City's Zoning
Ordinance Section 547.11, Subd. 7; and
b) The applicant is responsible for obtaining all required permits, and for

5. This conditional use permit shall remain in effect for so long as conditions regulating
it are observed, and the conditional use permit shall expire if normal operation of the
use has been discontinued for 12 or more months, as required by the City's Zoning
Ordinance, Section 547.09, Subd. 10.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 12th day of
November, 2019.

Elizabeth VanHoose, City Clerk
Code Requirements / Required Findings
Part 1 — Conditional Use Permit: The findings necessary to issue a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) are as follows (547.09, Subd. 6):
The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. This requirement is met. The location of the facility is
designated as "Low Density Residential". The Utilities section of the Comprehensive
Plan states that the provision of public and private utilities is essential to a thriving,
healthy community. This proposal to upgrade privately owned wireless equipment is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the
purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed
use. This requirement is met. The purpose of the Zoning Code is to protect and
promote the public health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and
general welfare of the City. The proposed use is not inconsistent with these
intentions. The property is in the Single -Family Residential (R) District. The purpose
of the R District is to provide residential locations that are safe, attractive and quiet.
The proposed use of attaching a small wireless facility to an existing pole in the
right-of-way does not pose threat to this and is conditionally permitted in this district.
Given that there is not currently an excessive concentration of small wireless
facilities at this location, this requirement is met.
3. The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment plans or
urban design guidelines. There are no specific redevelopment plans that apply.
4. The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance standards
specified in Section 544 of this code. Section 544 of the code does not apply to
small wireless facilities in the Single -Family Residential Districts.
5. The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities,
utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements. Small wireless facilities
located in the right-of-way require a permit from Public Works and are required to
meet certain conditions. The facility will be co -located with existing utilities. The
City's Public Works and Engineering Departments have reviewed the proposal and
do not anticipate any issues.
6. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare.
No adverse impacts are anticipated. The supplied frequency study indicates that
radiofrequency emissions will be within the acceptable limits for the general public
set by the Federal Communications Commission.
7. There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. Maintaining and
providing up-to-date wireless facilities at multiple locations is necessary to maintain
a thriving community.
8. The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this code for
the granting of such conditional use permit. This requirement is met.

In the RF Exposure Simulations below all heights are reflected with respect to main site level. In
most rooftop cases this is the height of the main rooftop and in other cases this can be ground
level. Each different height area, rooftop, or platform level is labeled with its height relative to
the main site level. Emissions are calculated appropriately based on the relative height and
location of that area to all antennas. The total analyzed elevations in the below RF Exposure
Simulations are listed below,

5 Site Compliance
501 Site Compliance Statement
Upon evaluation of the cumulative RF emission levels from all operators at this site, RF
hazard signage and antenna locations, Sitesafe has determined that:
AT&T Mobility, LLC will be compliant when the remediation recommended in Section 5.2
or other appropriate remediation is implemented.
The compliance determination is based on General Public RFE levels derived from
theoretical modeling, RF signage placement, proposed antenna inventory and the level
of restricted access to the antennas at the site. Any deviation from the AT&T Mobility,
LLC's proposed deployment plan could result in the site being rendered non -compliant.
Modeling is used for determining compliance and the percentage of MPE contribution.
5.2 Actions for Site Compliance
Based on FCC regulations, common industry practice, and our understanding of AT&T
Mobility, LLC RF Safety Policy requirements, this section provides a statement of
recommendations for site compliance. Recommendations have been proposed based
on our understanding of existing access restrictions, signage, and an analysis of
predicted RFE levels.
AT&T Mobility, LLC will be made compliant if the following changes are implemented:
Light Pole Access Location
No Signs - Controlled access to the structure should be implemented by AT&T and
the structure owner.
Notes:
• The area with the potential to exceed the General Public MPE limits is
extends beyond 16' from the antenna. Sitesafe would normally
recommend the appropriate RF signage on the structure at the vertical
safe distance below the antenna; however, per ATV's signage policy, no
signage should be recommended in this instance and controlled access
to the structure should be implemented by AT&T and the structure owner.
• MPE is calculated to be 15,1 13.26 at the antenna level and MPE safe
Distance is 27' Horizontal and 4' vertical.
• Signage may already be in place. Sitesafe does not have record of any
existing signage because there were no previous visits or data supplied
regarding them. All remediation is based on a worst -case scenario.

Appendix A - Statement of Limiting Conditions
Sitesafe has provided computer generated models) in this Site Compliance Report to
show approximate dimensions of the site, and the model is included to assist the reader
of the compliance report to visualize the site area, and to provide supporting
documentation for Sitesafe's recommendations.
Sitesafe may note in the Site Compliance Report any adverse physical conditions, such
as needed repairs, that Sitesafe became aware of during the normal research involved
in creating this report. Sitesafe will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist
or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such
conditions exist. Because Sitesafe is not an expert in the field of mechanical engineering
or building maintenance, the Site Compliance Report must not be considered a
structural or physical engineering report.
Sitesafe obtained information used in this Site Compliance Report from sources that
Sitesafe considers reliable and believes them to be true and correct. Sitesafe does not
assume any responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other
parties. When conflicts in information occur between data collected by Sitesafe
provided by a second party and data collected by Sitesafe, the data will be used.

Appendix B - Regulatory Background Information
FCC Rules and Regulations
In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted regulations for the
evaluating of the effects of RF emissions in 47 CFR § 1.1307 and 1.1310. The guideline
from the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology is Bulletin 65 ("OET Bulletin 65"),
Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01, published August 1997. Since 1996 the FCC
periodically reviews these rules and regulations as per their congressional mandate.
FCC regulations define two separate tiers of exposure limits: Occupational or
"Controlled environment" and General Public or "Uncontrolled environment". The
General Public limits are generally five times more conservative or restrictive than the
Occupational limit. These limits apply to accessible areas where workers or the general
public may be exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields.
Occupational or Controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment and where those persons exposed have been made
fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
An area is considered a Controlled environment when access is limited to these aware
personnel. Typical criteria are restricted access (i.e. locked or alarmed doors, barriers,
etc.) to the areas where antennas are located coupled with proper RF warning signage.
A site with Controlled environments is evaluated with Occupational limits.
All other areas are considered Uncontrolled environments. If a site has no access controls
or no RF warning signage it is evaluated with General Public limits.
The theoretical modeling of the RF electromagnetic fields has been performed in
accordance with OET Bulletin 65. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits utilized
in this analysis are outlined in the following diagram:

OSHA Statement
The General Duty clause of the OSHA Act (Section 5) outlines the occupational safety
and health responsibilities of the employer and employee. The General Duty clause in
Section 5 states:
(a) Each employer-
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of
employment which are free from recognized hazards that are
causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his
employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards
promulgated under this Act,
(b) Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and
all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are applicable to
his own actions and conduct.
OSHA has defined Radiofrequency and Microwave Radiation safety standards for
workers who may enter hazardous RF areas. Regulation Standards 29 CFR § 1910.147
identify a generic Lockout/Tagout procedure aimed to control the unexpected
energization or startup of machines when maintenance or service is being performed.

Appendix C - Safety Plan and Procedures
The following items are general safety recommendations that should be administered
on a site by site basis as needed by the carrier,
General Maintenance Work: Any maintenance personnel required to work immediately
in front of antennas and / or in areas indicated as above 100% of the Occupational
APE limits should coordinate with the wireless operators to disable transmitters during
their work activities,
Training and Qualification Verification: All personnel accessing areas indicated as
exceeding the General Population MPE limits should have a basic understanding of
EME awareness and RF Safety procedures when working around transmitting antennas.
Awareness training increases a worker's understanding to potential RF exposure
scenarios. Awareness can be achieved in a number of ways (e.g. videos, formal
classroom lecture or internet-based courses),
Physical Access Control: Access restrictions to transmitting antennas locations is the
primary element in a site safety plan. Examples of access restrictions are as follows:
• Locked door or gate
• Alarmed door
• Locked ladder access
• Restrictive Barrier at antenna (e.g. Chain link with posted RF Sign)
RF Sianaae: Everyone should obey all posted signs at all times. RF signs play an
important role in properly warning a worker prior to entering into a potential RF Exposure
area.
Assume all antennas are active: Due to the nature of telecommunications
transmissions, an antenna transmits intermittently. Always assume an antenna is
transmitting. Never stop in front of an antenna. If you have to pass by an antenna,
move through as quickly and safely as possible thereby reducing any exposure to a
minimum.
Maintain a 3 foot clearance from all antennas: There is a direct correlation between the
strength of an EME field and the distance from the transmitting antenna. The further
away from an antenna, the lower the corresponding EME field is.
Site RF Emissions Diaaram: Section 4 of this report contains an RF Diagram that outlines
various theoretical Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) areas at the site. The modeling
is a worst -case scenario assuming a duty cycle of 100% for each transmitting antenna
at full power. This analysis is based on one of two access control criteria: General Public
criteria means the access to the site is uncontrolled and anyone can gain access.
Occupational criteria means the access is restricted and only properly trained
individuals can gain access to the antenna locations,

Appendix D — RF Emissions
The RF Emissions Simulations) in this report display theoretical spatially averaged
percentage of the Maximum Permissible Exposure for all systems at the site unless
otherwise noted. These diagrams use modeling as prescribed in OET Bulletin 65 and
assumptions detailed in Appendix E.
The key at the bottom of each RF Emissions Simulation indicates percentages displayed
referenced to FCC General Public Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. Color
coding on the diagram is as follows:
• Areas indicated as Gray are predicted to be below 5% of the MPE limits. Gray
represents areas more than 20 times below the most conservative exposure limit.
Gray areas are accessible to anyone.
• Green represents areas are predicted to be between 5% and 100% of the MPE
limits. Green areas are accessible to anyone,
• Blue represents areas predicted to exceed the General Public MPE limits but are
less than Occupational limits. Blue areas should be accessible only to RF trained
workers.
• Yellow represents areas predicted to exceed Occupational MPE limits. Yellow
areas should be accessible only to RF trained workers able to assess current
exposure levels,
• Red represents areas predicted to have exposure more than 10 times the
Occupational MPE limits. Red indicates that the RF levels must be reduced prior to
access, An RF Safety Plan is required which outlines how to reduce the RF energy in
these areas prior to access.
If trained occupational personnel require access to areas that are delineated as above
1007o of the limit, Sitesafe recommends that they utilize the proper personal protection
equipment (RF monitors), coordinate with the carriers to reduce or shutdown power, or
make real-time power density measurements with the appropriate power density meter
to determine real-time MPE levels. This will allow the personnel to ensure that their work
area is within exposure limits.

Appendix E — Assumptions and Definitions
General Model Assumptions
In this site compliance report, it is assumed that all antennas are operating at full power
at all times. Software modeling was performed for all transmitting antennas located on
the site. Sitesafe has further assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximum radiated power.
The modeling is based on recommendations from the FCC's OET-65 bulletin with the
following variances per AT&T guidance. Reflection has not been considered in the
modeling, i.e. the reflection factor is 1.0. The near / far field boundary has been set to 1.5
times the aperture height of the antenna and modeling beyond that point is the lesser of
the near field cylindrical model and the far field model taking into account the gain of
the antenna,
The site has been modeled with these assumptions to show the maximum RF energy
density. Areas modeled with exposure greater than 100% of the General Public MPE level
may not actually occur but are shown as a prediction that could be realized. Sitesafe
believes these areas to be safe for entry by occupationally trained personnel utilizing
appropriate personal protective equipment (in most cases, a personal monitor),
Use of Generic Antennas
For the purposes of this report, the use of "Generic" as an antenna model, or "Unknown"
for an operator means the information about a carrier, their FCC license and/or antenna
information was not provided and could not be obtained while on site. In the event of
unknown information, Sitesafe will use our industry specific knowledge of equipment,
antenna models, and transmit power to model the site. If more specific information can
be obtained for the unknown measurement criteria, Sitesafe recommends remodeling
of the site utilizing the more complete and accurate data. Information about similar
facilities is used when the service is identified and associated with a particular antenna.
If no information is available regarding the transmitting service associated with an
unidentified antenna, using the antenna manufacturer's published data regarding the
antenna's physical characteristics makes more conservative assumptions.
Where the frequency is unknown, Sitesafe uses the closest frequency in the antenna's
range that corresponds to the highest Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE), resulting in
a conservative analysis.

Appendix F - Definitions
5% Rule - The rules adopted by the FCC specify that, in general, at multiple transmitter
sites actions necessary to bring the area into compliance with the guidelines are the
shared responsibility of all licensees whose transmitters produce field strengths or power
density levels at the area in question in excess of 5% of the exposure limits. In other
words, any wireless operator that contributes 5% or greater of the MPE limit in an area
that is identified to be greater than 100% of the MPE limit is responsible for taking
corrective actions to bring the site into compliance.
Compliance -The determination of whether a site complies with FCC standards with
regards to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields from
transmitting antennas.
Decibel (dB) - A unit for measuring power or strength of a signal.
Duty Cycle -The percent of pulse duration to the pulse period of a periodic pulse train.
Also, may be a measure of the temporal transmission characteristic of an intermittently
transmitting RF source such as a paging antenna by dividing average transmission
duration by the average period for transmission. A duty cycle of 100% corresponds to
continuous operation.
Effective (or Equivalent) Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) -The product of the power
supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to an
isotropic antenna.
Effective Radiated Power (ERP) -The product of the power supplied to the antenna and
the antenna gain in a given direction relative to a half -wave dipole antenna.
Gain (of an antenna) -The ratio of the maximum power in a given direction to the
maximum power in the same direction from an isotropic radiator. Gain is a measure of
the relative efficiency of a directional antenna as compared to an omnidirectional
antenna.
General Population/Uncontrolled Environment -Defined by the FCC as an area where
RF exposure may occur to persons who are unaware of the potential for exposure and
who have no control over their exposure. General Population is also referenced as
General Public,
Generic Antenna -For the purposes of this report, the use of "Generic" as an antenna
model means the antenna information was not provided and could not be obtained
while on site. In the event of unknown information, Sitesafe will use its industry specific
knowledge of antenna models to select a worst -case scenario antenna to model the
site.
Isotropic Antenna - An antenna that is completely non -directional. In other words, an
antenna that radiates energy equally in all directions.
Maximum Measurement -This measurement represents the single largest measurement
recorded when performing a spatial average measurement.
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) The rms and peak electric and magnetic field
strength, their squares, or the plane -wave equivalent power densities associated with
these fields to which a person may be exposed without harmful effect and with
acceptable safety factor.

condition of employment or specific activity and can exercise control over their
exposure.
OElr Bulletin 65 -Technical guideline developed by the FCC's Office of Engineering and
Technology to determine the impact of RF exposure on humans. The guideline was
published in August 1997.

propagated from antennas through space.
Spatial Average Measurement- A technique used to average a minimum of ten (10)
measurements taken in a ten (10) second interval from zero (0) to six (6) feet. This
measurement is intended to model the average energy a 6-foot tall human body will
absorb while present in an electromagnetic field of energy.

Consider approval of the Animal Shelter Agreement with the City of Bloomington.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Bloomington has provided animal control services for the City of Richfield for the past several
years. The City of Bloomington has an established animal control program, shelter, trained staff, supervision
and related equipment and tools to provide Richfield with appropriate and humane animal control services.

BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The City of Bloomington has provided animal control services for the City of Richfield for the past
several years. The City of Bloomington has an established animal control program, shelter, trained staff,
supervision and related equipment and tools to provide Richfield with animal control services.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes. etcy

a city animal pound either within or outside the limits of the City.
C. CRITICALTIMING ISSUES:
N/A
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Richfield spends under $6,000 annually for services provided by the City of Bloomington
under the Animal Shelter Agreement, for veterinary costs and dangerous dog hearings. This is far less
than what the the City of Richfield would spend if it were providing these services within the city.
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The City Attorney has reviewed the Animal Shelter Agreement and has approved the contract.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION .
The City Council could choose to have Richfield provide its own animal control services. The costs of hiring
qualified staff and securing a location to house and care for animals for extended periods of time would be
more than our current expenditures and would require a significant budget increase.

determined that the 7636 Cedar Ave. S. property will be used for an underground stormwater system
and may also be used for surface parking as part of a Washington Park expansion.
• The completion of a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment would help identify if there are any
unknown environmental risks associated with the site prior to the start of construction.
• The City is working cooperatively with Hennepin County to conduct a "Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment" per the attached scope of work dated October 29, 2019 from Barr Engineering Co.

11 /6/2019
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing and consider a resolution approving a final plat of the NOVO Addition, in order to allow
construction of the previously approved NOVO apartments at 66th Street and Queen Avenue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development plans for the NOVO apartments at 66th Street and Queen Avenue were approved by the City
Council on December 11, 2018. Re -platting of the property was a stipulation of that approval. The
development site for NOVO consists of eight (8) parcels of land and adjacent right-of-way. The
developer has either purchased all eight of these properties or has them under binding purchase
agreements. The proposed final plat will combine those properties into a single lot.
The proposed plat of NOVO has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office, Richfield Public Works
and Hennepin County. All comments have been addressed or included as stipulations in the
resolution. While a public hearing is required by State Statute, the plat is a technical document
dealing with the combination or division of land, and is not a reconsideration of land use approvals
for the development. The proposed plat meets requirements and therefore staff recommends
approval of the attached resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Adopt a resolution approving a final plat of the
NOVO Addition.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Development Plans for NOVO were approved by the City Council on December 11, 2018. These
approvals require the applicant to re -plat the properties.

the adjacent CVS property at 6540 Penn Avenue, and Queen Avenue right-of-way between 65th
1/2 and 66th Streets, as well as a small portion of the Russell Avenue cul-de-sac right-of-way. The
City Council approved the vacation of said right-of-way on December 11, 2018.
The City Council approved a preliminary plat on June 11, 2019.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consider the approval of:
1. The updated Five -Year Street Reconstruction Plan (2020-2024) as detailed at the October 22,
2019 City Council Work Session; and
2. A resolution for reimbursement of certain expenditures from the proceeds of street
reconstruction bonds to be issued by the City of Richfield for the Lyndale Avenue Street
Reconstruction project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City is authorized under Minnesota Statutes to prepare a five-year plan for street reconstruction in order
to issue general obligation bonds to finance the cost of the reconstruction described in the plan (Street
Reconstruction Bonds). The plan was last updated in July 2018 (for 2019-2023) and the proposed plan
updates the five-year plan through 2024.
The reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue from 66th to 76th Streets has been underway since May of this year.
The project will achieve substantial completion by the end of 2019.
Approval of the proposed resolution will enable City staff to continue incurring construction costs for the
project. The resolution allows costs incurred up to 60 days prior to Council approval of the resolution to be
reimbursed using the proceeds of the street reconstruction bonds.
The original budget and funding plan identified a total of $12.5M in street reconstruction bonds to
be issued in 2019 and 2020 for both the 66th Street and Lyndale Avenue projects. In 2019, $5.53M
in street reconstruction bonds were sold, the proposed resolution identifies an additional $3M in 2020
to complete the funding for the Lyndale Avenue reconstruction. This is consistent with the attached
five-year plan and what was discussed at the October 22, 2019 City Council Work Session.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Approve the updated Five -Year Street Reconstruction Plan (2020-2024) as detailed at
the October 22, 2019 City Council Work Session; and
2. Approve the resolution for reimbursement of certain expenditures from the proceeds
of street reconstruction bonds to be issued in 2020 by the City of Richfield for the
Lyndale Avenue Street Reconstruction project.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
A. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
See executive summary.
B. POLICIES (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc.
The reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue was identified in the 2019 Cl P and 5 Year Street Reconstruction
Plan.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES:
The reimbursement resolution is necessary to cover any project costs incurred prior to the sale of bonds.
D. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Adoption of the proposed reimbursement resolution provides approval for City staff to continue to
incur costs for the Lyndale Avenue Reconstruction project.
• The following sources are proposed for the full reconstruction project funding:
• Street Reconstruction Bonds
• Utility Bonds
• Local Government Aid
E. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
The City Attorney has reviewed the resolution and will be available to answer questions.

RESOLUTION NO.
DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF
RICHFIELD TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES
FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY
THE CITY WITH RESPECT TO THE LYNDALE AVENUE
STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are
met; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield, Minnesota (the "City") expects to incur certain
expenditures that may be financed temporarily from sources other than bonds, and
reimbursed from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent (the
"Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City has undertaken the Lyndale Avenue Street Reconstruction Project
and has determined a need to finance additional costs for such project (the "Project").
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain
costs of the Project from the proceeds of bonds in an estimated maximum principal
amount of $3,000,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures, costs of
issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under
Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of
any original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the
proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds;
(b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue;
or (c) "preliminary expenditures" up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the
aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance or are reasonably expected by the
City to finance the Project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. The term
"preliminary expenditures" includes architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance,
and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or
rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the
City based on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The
anticipated original expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds
described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City's budgetary and financial
circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are,
or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise
set aside pursuant to the City's budget or financial policies to pay such Project
expenditures.
5. This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.
