Item #1
MINNESOTA STATE STATUTE 115.94 SETS OUT A PROCESS FOR CITIES TO

COUNCIL AND STAFF WILL PROVIDE THEIR GOALS AND PRIORITIES IN
ORGANIZING COLLECTION AND RESIDENTIAL HAULERS CAN PROVIDE
THEIR FEEDBACK IN PREPARATION FOR FUTURE CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez gave an overview of the history behind the decision to organize waste
collection including developing a Sustainability Commission and adopting a Climate Action Plan among
other things. The city has a strong interest in reducing the city’s carbon footprint and becoming more
green.
City Manager Rodriguez explained the intent of the meeting, a staff presentation, Council
remarks followed by group discussion. She then asked Council Members, staff and haulers to introduce
themselves.

Council Meeting Minutes -2- November 23, 2020
Director Markle shared a presentation that reviewed guiding principles and plans; economic
reasons; environmental reasons; and social and education impacts.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm spoke about the ‘must achieve’ priorities for Richfield for
switching to organized hauling. She then stated the ‘would like to achieve’ priorities for the city followed
by a brief overview of next steps.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez thanked staff for the presentation and stated Council Members will be
giving their perspectives and what they have heard from residents regarding organized hauling.
Council Member Whalen spoke of when he initially ran for Council, organized collection was a
priority of residents for a desire of reduction in the number of trucks for safety and noise. He spoke of
the uncertainty in pricing and how his current hauler recently called him and wanted to increase his bill
roughly $40. He believes this will give new residents peace of mind in setting up hauling instead of
forcing them to shop around along with finding organics drop off. He spoke of how price is a priority for
residents. He also stated the billing process and having it included on a utility bill or working directly
with provided hauler. The transition period is also important regarding bin replacement. He also
prioritized customer service options without having to threaten a company to terminate service in order
to get things done or price reduction. He spoke of how he is also not interested in a one size fits all but
giving residents the options of cart size and pick up options along with the possibility of bulky item pick
up.
Council Member Trautmann echoed most comments from Council Member Whalen. He stated
this is a direction the community is dedicated to moving forward with organized hauling. He stated
concerns are limited communication, loss of services or choices and loss of engagement.
Council Member Elect Hayford Oleary stated residents are becoming much more aware of the
number of trucks running during waste pick up with more people working from home and the
inconveniences they pose. He stated how residents will be relying on the city to go to bat for residents
but having a point of contact to discuss issues. He has heard a desire for large item pick up one or
twice a year and incorporating a cost over the 12 months or a one-time purchase; organics pick up;
variety of cart size with appropriate pricing; yard waste option but not necessarily essential and
affordability. He also stated he would like to see a path for organics and recycling for multi-family.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez wanted to focus that at the end of the day; the city will be producing
less waste and reducing its carbon foot print. She believes the city has a strong community base that is
very consciences of sustainability. She expressed to the haulers in attendance that Richfield is a small
city that is nimble and adaptable to do what works best for everybody. She would like to find a way to
provide quality services without jeopardizing customer service or price.
City Manager Rodriguez stated the city has somewhat of a road map with state statute and
viewing other cities during this same process but some have been quite bumpy and Richfield is looking
for a more smooth method.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm spoke of how the city will be involving the community and how
residents will be supplying feedback. Staff will be doing ‘listening and learning sessions’ with the
community as these engagements will need to be virtual due to the pandemic circumstances. The city
would like to be as transparent as possible with residents during the entirety of the process. She stated
there has been great communication so far with licensed haulers within Richfield and it has been
greatly appreciated and hopes it will continue.
Council Meeting Minutes -3- November 23, 2020
Rocci Berrni asked what kind of plans the city has associated with multi-family dwellings.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm explained incorporating multi-family housing is a future goal
that will have a tiered approach starting with recycling. The city is not currently looking at organized
collection with multi-family housing, only residential.
Bev Mathiasen expressed her excitement to take part in this process and hears that customer
services and accessibility are important. She then asked what languages education and communication
materials need to be translated.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm explained she would need to look more in depth of the
demographics to provide specifics.
City Manager Rodriguez stated there is a strong demand for Spanish and there is also a
growing need for Somali.
.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez commented on the 2010 Census that listed Richfield having 17% Latino
but the current school district is 40% Spanish speaking students. Richfield is also the second largest
Tibetan refugee community.
Micah Hamstra asked about single entity structures some other cities have inquired about in the
past.
City Attorney Tietjen explained it will be a city preference and will be in discussion with
negotiations going forward.
City Manager Rodriguez stated staff has been speaking with other cities to gain their
perspectives but Richfield is open to ideas and would like to find a creative approach.
Julie Ketchum stated her involvement in other organized collection processes and how having
fewer haulers generally works very well. She recommended Richfield have discussions with other cities
who do not have consortium to see what their experience has been.
Council Member Trautmann asked if any haulers had examples of cities that had cohesive
collaboration when moving to collective hauling.
Julie Ketchum stated St. Anthony was a very easily negotiated process.
Micha Hamstra spoke of how he has heard from haulers associated with Bloomington that there
are complaints about the spring clean-up.
Council Member Whalen would like to hear from haulers if large item pick up is a logistical
nightmare because Richfield residents have shown interest in wanting that service.
Bev Mathiasen explained how curbside clean-up is much more complicated for haulers and
there is also an issue with illegal dumping. She stated drop off event works better and is more cost
effective and efficient.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm added the Climate Action Plan noted the idea of a drop off
style event as a future goal.
Council Meeting Minutes -4- November 23, 2020
Thor Nelson asked if the city will be engaging with a third party consultant.
City Manager Rodriguez stated the city is hopeful to engage in discussion and negotiations
without a third party consultant.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm added how staff has done a tremendous amount of research
to see how other cities have navigated the process in hopes to avoid brining in a third party consultant.
The city is hoping to find the best possible route for the city and its residents.
Micah Hamstra asked about residents sharing carts and how logistically that would impact
hauler market share.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm explained that is something that will need to be discussed
during negotiations as city code does currently allow cart sharing.
Rocci Berrni asked about single stream recycling and if the city would like every week or
every other week.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm stated pricing would determine how that decision is made.
There has been some resident interest of collection every week but pricing is a priority. She also asked
haulers to reach out to herself or staff if there are any documents or information that would be helpful to
them to have from the city to assist in the negotiation process.
Julie Ketchum asked if there had been any recent discussion with Hennepin County regarding
organics availability and limits in facilities.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm spoke of no recent conversations but will reach out to see if
anything new is happening with the facilities. However, the county is aware of a number of cities
coming online to include or increase organics collection.
Julie Ketchum explained how they currently do a direct haul to SAT and are doing everything
possible to reduce contamination. She then asked if Richfield is looking at an opt-in versus mandatory
option to help reduce the amount.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm spoke of how a more mandatory program, makes it more
financially viable for residents to participate. Richfield has had a very high participation and incredibly
low contamination with the current drop off option. She stated how education for the organics drop off
has been going very well in the city.
Micah Hamstra stated how St. Paul bought new carts and imposed an administrative fee on
utility bill and Bloomington supplies their own carts. He asked if the city has thought about buying carts.
Director Markle indicated the city is not currently looking at buying carts and would look to the
haulers to supply carts for residents.
Julie Ketchum asked if the hauler would need to buy new carts then or if they could distribute
what they currently have in inventory.
Sustainability Specialist Lindholm stated the city would not require a hauler to purchase new
carts.
Council Meeting Minutes -5- November 23, 2020
City Manager Rodriguez asked haulers to send any questions or concerns to Rachel so the city
can address them all during negotiations.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez thanked everyone for their time today. She reminded everyone to reach
out to staff if there are any more questions or concerns.

Item #1
DISCUSS A PLANNING STUDY THAT WOULD EXAMINE LAND USE
REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO PROPERTIES ALONG PORTLAND AVENUE
AND 66TH STREET IN THE AREA SURROUNDING VETERAN'S PARK.
City Manager Rodriguez introduced the item along with city’s recommendation of a nine month
moratorium to develop a plan for the land where the American Legion is placed since it is such an
important location. The city will be looking at the feasibility of possibly purchasing the land or
partnering with a developer to include community space.
Commander Seamans gave a history of the American Legion Post 435 since its inauguration
in 1957. He spoke of working with the city to keep Post 435 in Richfield, along with its 1,000
members. He described the steps the Post has taken since the beginning of 2019 to improve the
stability and financials including a legal team and full time Controller. The Post realizes the most
valuable asset is the land and building they own. The Post will need to sell these assets to generate
the revenue needed to move forward. The funds will be used to ensure all Post bills are paid, retiring
old debt and securing the future of the Post and its members. The Post would like to continue to have
a physical presence on the property even after sale and would like to continue to work with the city to
make this happen. The Post knows this will be a lengthy process but are dedicated to continue to
Council Work Session Minutes -2- November 24, 2020
serve its members along with the community. The Post is opposed to any kind of moratorium as it will
hinder the sale of the property.
Commissioner Hayford Oleary asked for clarification as he thought the Post would sell the
current property and move to another location but some of the language stated tonight states the Post
would like to stay on the current property in some capacity.
Commander Seamans stated the Post would like to stay at the current location in some
capacity and the team would work with either the city or new developer to develop what that would
look like.
Commissioner Elliot asked Commander Seamans when the city first contacted him about the
desire of placing a moratorium on the property.
Commander Seamans stated that today was the first time he had heard of the moratorium.
Glen McClusky confirmed that today was the first time the legal team had heard of the idea of
a moratorium and why.
Commissioner Elliot then asked how many conversations have been had between the Post
and the city up to today’s date.
Glen McClusky stated he has had two meetings but others may have had more.
Commissioner Elliot explained the first notice of the moratorium he received was a few days
ago when he received the agenda. It included a plan for a six month moratorium which has now been
suggested for nine months. He expressed concern for the position of the Post and the sale of their
property.
Glen McClusky confirmed a moratorium of any kind would put the Post in a poor position and it
is something they would not like to see happen.
Peter Coyle stated the concern as it will slow down any kind of process and will most likely will
cause the Post to lose all of 2021 before anything were to happen.
Commissioner Elliot asked city staff why the members of the Post where not notified until
today of the possibility of a moratorium.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez stated staff does have a presentation and would like to allow them to
present and answer questions.
Director Stark explained the Post approached the city around April this year about the
possibility of selling its property. The city then referred to its Comprehensive Plan which was adopted
in 2018 and shows this land as multi-family housing. This was discussed with the Post as the property
was desired by both policy makers and residents to become multi-family housing. Director Stark
further explained that community members expressed their desire for community space. The city
would like to see the overlap of multi-family housing, community space and space of the Post. He
then gave some examples of concerns regarding visibility and wildlife. Staff has had multiple
conversations with the Post to ‘pause’ their process so the city can develop a better and more
inclusive plan for the property. The reason for the moratorium would be to develop standards for what
could be developed on the property.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked for clarification as to what is up for discussion tonight is that of
the moratorium itself and not the actual small area plan specifics.
Director Stark confirmed.
Council Work Session Minutes -3- November 24, 2020
Council Member Supple expressed the importance of supplying public amenities whether it is
a community center or something else but would like to look at the financial options to explore this
once in a lifetime opportunity.
Commissioner Hayford Oleary supported the moratorium but would like to see it is as short as
possible so as to not continue to hinder the Post and the sale of the property. He also echoed Council
Member Supple’s comments of supplying some sort of public amenities.
City Manager Rodriguez explained the need to bring the financials to the Council if the
purchase of the land is feasible. This can be a lengthy and in-depth process so there is concern with
getting it done in six months. The process would also include public engagement.
Director Stark added the public engagement piece is more difficult due to the pandemic and
will also take more time to conduct. He also spoke to the language of the moratorium where it can be
lifted early or modified at the Council’s discretion.
Commissioner Elliot believes the moratorium is very one sided to the city and not the survival
of the Post. He would like to see more consideration for the Post as a huge asset to the community
and putting a six or nine month moratorium could very easily turn into twelve or eighteen months and
would put another hindranceon the Post.
Commissioner Lavin wondered why serious discussions had been taking place sooner as the
Post building has been dark for months.
Commissioner Vrieze Daniels asked for clarification on what the moratorium prevents the Post
from doing with the property.
Assistant Director Poehlman explained the moratorium prevents the request for permits. The
property could be listed and sell but realistically, no one would buy until the moratorium is lifted due to
uncertainty of building specifics.
Commissioner Sandahl supported Council Member Supple’s comments as this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity and if the city needs the additional time, it should take the time. She believes
residents would be very upset to allow something to go on the property that does not compliment
Veteran’s Park and the current surrounding amenities.
City Manager Rodriguez clarified the Post needed to go through a process with their members
to moveforward which took time and needed to happen before staff could bring the idea to Council for
discussion.
Commissioner Quam asked if the Post would have a legal relationship to decide what would
become of the property if sold to the city.
Commander Seamans specified the Post would partner with the city and/or developers chosen
to make sure the needs of the Post are met along with the needs of the city. However, a moratorium
would prevent the Post from being nimble enough to make that process happen in that it would take
too long.
Commissioner Quam believes if the city is suggesting a $35,000 study, it must be very
important and supports the necessary steps needed to take place.
City Attorney Tietjen explained the moratorium will not prevent the Post from continuing with a
planning process or working collaboratively with the city during the planning study. However, it
protects the planning process and having to act on any applications that may come forward.
Council Work Session Minutes -4- November 24, 2020
Council Member Trautmann thanked the Post and staff as this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity. The city is in a unique place to recognize the value of the Post in the community as well
as jointly invest in a chance to make the community better.
Post Controller Diane Miller reminded Council the reason the Post is selling the property is due
to the significant financial situation they are in currently. Any moratorium will not pay property taxes or
bills and will put even more significant financial burden on the Post. She also reiterated the Post
supports not only the 200 Richfield residents that are members but 800 others from the area along
with providing community involvement.
Council Member Whalen appreciated hearing from the Post and the urgency for a decision. He
believes it is important to explore the first step of this process. He asked if the city would have a
decision in January to provide the Post with an answer if the city would be a buyer or partner. He also
asked about the potential of having a buyer and plan lined up at the end of the moratorium or if that
process would need to start after the moratorium is lifted.
Director Stark stated in an ideal situation, the Post would see where the city is going with
some design standards, work with a buyer and develop a plan. However, a moratorium does scare off
potential buyers so it may take time after the moratorium is lifted to retain a buyer and/or developer.
Council Member Garcia reiterated this is a once in a life time opportunity and how important it
is to retain the image of Veteran’s Park. She believes there needs to be a great amount of community
input and there are many options to explore. She also offered some options of possible partnerships
the city should explore.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez thanked everyone for their thoughtful comments and discussion on
this extremely important topic.
Item #2
RICHFIELD COVID-19 UPDATE FROM JENNIFER ANDERSON, COMMUNITY
HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR, NICK KELLEY, PHD., CITY OF
BLOOMINGTON ACTING PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATOR AND PUBLIC
SAFETY DIRECTOR/EMERGENCY MANAGER JAY HENTHORNE.
Health Administrator Kelley presented some slides of the current situation in the community
regarding COVID. He spoke of the spike in cases due to concentrated areas of multi-family housing
and a high number of essential workers. He also spoke of the drastic increase in cases within the
BIPOC community, specifically Hispanic. Residents are facing the difficulties of no paid sick leave and
still needing to provide for their families.
Council Member Whalen asked what the city should do to help its community. Beyond posting
recommendations and guidelines, what should the city do?
Health Administrator Kelley stated continuing to spread the word and stories with the public.
Most people will not change their ways unless they themselves are affected by the virus. Keeping
pressure on the State and Federal entities to keep paid sick leave and other standards in check will
help in altering the current state and help assist residents.
Council Member Trautmann asked if the city can help in other ways to assist in surging
resources in in areas of congregate living where the cases are higher.
Health Administrator Kelley stated how daily communications are being tailored and driven to
certain areas. People just need to understand how dangerous this virus can be and certain venues
are closed for a reason and shouldn’t be replaced with backyard or house gatherings.
Council Work Session Minutes -5- November 24, 2020
Council Member Supple asked if there is a long term plan to facilitate a vaccine when it
becomes available.
Health Administrator Kelley stated plans and guidance are actively being made to vaccinate
Richfield residents. Currently it will be administered to first responders and medical staff then
distributed to high risk populations followed by the general public. Hopefully there will be a better
timeline after mid-December.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked about the coordination between the local, county and state
health departments and maximizing all efforts.
Health Administrator Kelley stated the ability to work handin-hand with all entities. They work
very closely with county and state providers so as to not overlap efforts and have specifically assigned
lanes.
Health Administrator Anderson spoke of one of the biggest challenges the city has faced is the
communication to the community but one in which the city is succeeding at more and more every day.
She then spoke of local organizations for the Richfield BIPOC residents and how they are helping the
community.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez thanked all staff and community partners for their efforts.

process and next steps along with exchanging information. Information was supplied regarding leasing
costs and if tenants needed relocation material.

Motion carried 4-0 with 1 abstain from Council Member Trautmann
.Council Member Whalen commented on how he first opposed this project. He expressed
appreciation of the developer working with the current tenants and deep gratitude for the creativity in
making the affordable units possible that included two bedroom housing. He plans to support this item
but believes more work has to be done to develop more affordable housing within the TIF district in the
future.
Director Stark spoke of an example in this project is the amount of return the developer should
be achieving. That amount changes all the time and staff works with Ehlers to find that amount. He
explained how the HRA actually has more money to spend and staff will be working on a plan to put
that money into future projects.
Rebecca Kurtz added one of the challenges with TIF is a timing issue of when the increment will
come in which can hopefully be improved in the future.
Council Meeting Minutes -6- November 24, 2020
Council Member Supple also appreciated the addition of two bedroom units as they are a great
need for Richfield residents.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez echoed comments of appreciation on inclusion of two bedroom units
and looks forward to developing more deeply affordable units. She then asked the developer to include
staff and Council on the email chain with current tenants to keep up to date on changes.
Brian Bochman confirmed there would be no problem to include staff and Council on plans of
the process and next steps. Tenants expressed the possibility to start the project after April to provide
ample time to relocate if necessary. He then spoke of the constant communication they will be having
with current tenants.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked about reducing miscommunication and misunderstandings with
current tenants and being able to assist in relocation.
Assistant Director Poehlman spoke of the newsletter that had been provided during the
Chamberlain project and staff would be happy to help facilitate the same kind of communication with
this project.
Brian Bochman explained their project managers have done the same type of communication
on previous projects and would happy to do the same on this project.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked that the tenants are provided information about relocation and
the resources that are available to them.
Brian Bochman asked how they would like the communication whether it is a hand out or
separate meeting to provide the information.

Item #8
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AND A FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE
ESTABLISHING A SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM ON THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY OF VETERAN'S PARK. THE
MORATORIUM WOULD APPLY TO PROPERTIES THAT ARE GUIDED
FOR MEDIUM AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL USE IN
THE 2040 RICHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. STAFF REPORT NO. 150
Council Member Whalen presented staff report 150 with recommendation to extend to a nine-
month moratorium instead of six-months.
Director Stark explained why staff is recommending an additional three months in that additional
analysis needs to be done to define what community space might look like and what financial
obligations the city could have for the space. He reminded everyone the moratorium can be lifted early
or altered at any time by Council.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez clarified this is a first reading to have a robust discussion on the very
important piece of property. The following meeting will contain a public hearing and second reading.
Council Member Garcia asked if the developers have worked with anyone to develop a practical
idea.
Director Stark stated Ehlers Associates will be assisting in identifying funding sources.
City Manager Rodriguez spoke of staff working with Ehlers to see if buying the property or
partnering with a developer is a feasible option for the city.
Council Member Garcia asked if Director Regis will be a part of discussions with Ehlers.
City Manager Rodriguez confirmed she spoke with Director Regis and he will be brought into
discussions on the feasibility of the project.
Council Member Garcia spoke of what an institution Veteran’s Park is to the community of
Richfield. She would like to see an organization that will work with the city to preserve the area and the
American Legion Post 435.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked for clarification on the item for voting tonight which will be on the
moratorium.
Assistant Director Poehlman explained the need to adopt a resolution inclusive of a moratorium
so as to not receive any building applications between the first and second readings.
City Attorney Tietjen confirmed this is a necessary step.
Council Member Supple thanked Post 435 for their presentation at the work session. She then
asked staff about the boundaries of the area.
Assistant Director Poehlman explained the boundaries are extended as the area is slotted for
high density and the homes included in the boundaries are vacant and owned by the HRA.
Council Meeting Minutes -8- November 24, 2020
Council Member Supple would like the city to consider things carefully to be financially prudent
but would like to see it done expeditiously as to not put more burdens on Post 435.
Director Markle spoke of the unique opportunity of this area and that time is needed to see what
should be developed. Veteran’s Park is very important to many residents and needs to be aesthetically
tailored to the existing surroundings.
Council Member Trautmann expressed appreciation of discussion around this area. He
supported comments from Director Markle. He then asked about the zoning of the area.
Director Stark spoke of the degree of what will happen but it is currently zoned for housing so it
may need to be re-zoned depending on the findings.
Council Member Trautmann asked if zoning or developing and financial analysis could be done
simultaneously.
City Manager Rodriguez explained the Post 435 needed to go through the process with their
members before bringing any discussion to Council. She realizes this is going to take longer than the
Post 435 would like but the process needs to take place. She believes this will be a two-step process
where the first step will be to see if it is financially feasible and second step will be planning.
Council Member Whalen agreed this is an important process and should be conducive to what
already exists within the park. He echoed the comments of having this done as quickly as possible but
would also like it done correctly. He asked about the possibility to provide answers of city involvement
after the financial findings are presented to Post 435. He would like see a plan that serves Post 435
and the community needs.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked about member involvement from Post 435 and if they are still in a
process.
City manager Rodriguez stated to her knowledge, the members have voted to sell the property
but engagement regarding their presence on the property in the future is ongoing.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez spoke of the balancing act of doing what is right for the community and
Post 435. She reiterated the value of the land and once in a lifetime opportunity. She does not wish to
stunt the growth and involvement Post 435 has in the community. Community engagement will be a
high priority in this process.
Council Member Supple asked about community engagement going forward and the public
hearing in the next meeting.
Assistant Director Poehlman defined the public hearing will be specifically on the moratorium
and not any kind of development plan. In regards to community engagement, that will take place later in
the process as to not provide options that may not be financially feasible.
Director Markle added there has been some desire for a community center gathered from the
parks master plan a few years ago.
M/Whalen, S/Garcia to adopt the attached resolution and conduct a first reading of the attached
ordinance establishing a six-month moratorium on the development of properties in the vicinity of
Veteran's Park that are guided for Medium or High Density Residential, or Commercial use in the 2040

Administrator regarding COVID.
Council Member Supple expressed her thankfulness for the information provided at the work
session. She commented on some of the key things driving the spread was the need for people to go to
work to support their families due to not having paid sick leave. She is hopeful that is something that
can be changed in the future so families do not have to make the choice.

E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
The City of Richfield has had a public health c ontrac t with the C ity of Bloomington to provide public health
services on Ric hfield's behalf for 43 years. The amendment to the public health contract requires City
Council approval and reflects an approximate 1.5% inc rease over the 2020 c ontrac t amount. Additionally,
there is a new financial agreement and structure in plac e to ac count for shared services between the cities of
Richfield and B loomington.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion: Approve the amendment to the agr eement with the City of Bloomington for the provision of
public health services for the City of Richfield for 2021.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
I n 1977, the S tate of Minnesota enacted the C ommunity Health Servic es Ac t whic h transferred the
responsibility for the administration of public health programs to local jurisdictions. The State also
provided funds for the program and encouraged loc al jurisdictions to increase the effic iency of their
programs by grouping together whenever it made sense to do so. Richfield entered into a contractual
agreement with Bloomington at that time and the program has been administered under a contract with
them sinc e. The Ac t was revised in 2003 and is now referred to as the Loc al Public Health Act.
The contract amount for providing public health servic es in 2021 reflects an approximate 1.5%
increase over the 2020 contract amount. The c ontrac t amount for 2021 is $262,000; with the 2020
c ontract amount having been $259,000.
I n 2004, c hanges were made to the Public Health Act at the State level to make reporting,
acc ountability, and record keeping more efficient. Those c hanges also "regrouped" a large number of
funding sourc es into one, which gives more personalization of the funds for the best spec ific user of the
dollars within the c ommunity to be used in c onjunc tion with subsidy guidelines. I t is now referred to as
the Local P ublic Health grant.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Historically, the cost of the annual contrac t between Richfield and Bloomington for public health services
has been covered by the Local Public Health (L P H) grant and mandatory 75% loc al matc h for the
Ric hfield C ommunity Health Board.
2017 is the first y ear that the c ost of the agreement has signific antly exceeded the LPH grant plus the
mandated local match. As grant funding has not inc reased to matc h cost of living, insuranc e, and other
c osts, it bec ame necessary for Bloomington, Edina and Ric hfield to address this shortage. There has
never been a specific cost formula for how services were c ontrac ted. I n the past 5 y ears, contract
increases have ranged from 2-5%, however, the increases to the contrac ts with Bloomington have not
kept up with the inc rease in costs to Bloomington's Public Health Division.
These inc reased c osts for Bloomington are due to several reasons:
Flat or reduc ed grant funding for long-term grants.
I nc reased staffing c osts related to increased salaries, new part-time, staff benefits and health
insurance c osts.
Loss of grants that have supported administrative time and costs.
I nternal Charge inc reases (phones, copier, spac e and oc cupancy, mail room, building repairs,
computers, and professional liability insurance.
City Managers, along with public health staff of Bloomington, Edina and Richfield met in May 2019 to
c ome to an agreement on how shared servic es would be alloc ated to eac h city. Beginning in 2020, the
y early cost for services will be based on c urrent 2019 c ontrac ted fees adjusted for 2018 servic e levels.
For 2021, we would be using the 2020 contracted fees adjusted for 2019 service levels. The c ities all
agreed to keep this framework in place for 3 y ears and review and update at that time. Exhibit D in the
2021 Public Health amendment outlines the agreed upon c ost allocation strategy.

The City Attorney has reviewed the amendment and approves of its contents.

Consider the appr oval of a contract with Minnesota D irt W orks in the amount of $123,456.00 for the
Christian Par k pond dredging project.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Richfield P ublic W orks Stormwater Utility division initiated this project to remove “regulated” sediment
per the Minnesota Pollution Control Agenc y (MPC A) definition from the pond in Christian Park.
Sediment c ores were taken where sediment will be removed in the basin and it is estimated that
approximately 1600 tons of MP C A regulated material will be removed.
All dredged material shall be hauled and disposed of by the contractor in a landfill facility permitted to
accept MP C A regulated dredged materials or shall be hauled and disposed of by the c ontrac tor at a
site with an industrial land use c lassification that is selected by the contrac tor and approved by the
City.
Other maintenance and modific ation activities inc lude installation of a new outlet struc ture, riprap and
filter at the ends of all inlets and the outlet, and minor c learing and grubbing.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
By motion: Approve the contract with Minnesota Dirt W orks in the amount of $123,456.00 for the
Christian Par k pond dredging project.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
Christian Pond is part of the City's stormwater treatment system.
Runoff from carrying sediment is deposited in treatment ponds. Over time the sediment builds up
and needs to be removed as part of regular maintenanc e.
This will be the first signific ant dredging of Christian Pond.
See executive summary.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
Performing stormwater pond maintenance fulfills requirements set forth in the City 's MS4 permit
and S tormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (S W P P P).
Contracts estimated to have a value over $175,000 must be made by sealed bids, solicited by
public notice, and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
Award of the projec t at this time will allow c ontrac tors to begin the work over the winter months which will
allow for projec t c ompletion prior to spring.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
The C ity rec eived and tabulated 18 bids and the projec t c onsultant (B arr Engineering) checked
the bid results following the public bid opening. Barr ’s review of the bids resulted in changes to the
total bid amount for 6 of the 18 contractor bids, however, the changes resulted in no differences to
the order of the three lowest bidders.
Bids ranged from $117,458.50 to $234,075.00.
Following the bid opening, the apparent low bidder, Standard Contracting (Standard), indic ated
that they had a mistake in their bid. This mistake made Standard’s bid pric e much lower than it
should have been and Standard requested to withdraw their bid from c onsideration and to forgive
the bid bond. After consultation with the City Attorney, the City is allowing Standard to withdraw
their bid and will forgive the bid bond. The City will award the project to the next lowest, responsive
bidder whic h is Minnesota Dirt W orks.
The Engineer ’s Estimate for the projec t was $180,000. City staff and B arr believe the number of
contractors seeking winter work led to a high number of very competitive bids whic h drove the
project costs down.
Funding for the C hristian Park pond dredging projec t is inc luded in the 2021 budget and will be
funded through stormwater user fees.
E.L E GAL C ON S ID E R AT ION :
T he bid opening held on November 19, 2020 was in accordance with legal requirements.
The ad for bid was published October 29 in the Sun Current.
The C ity Attorney will be available for questions.

Memorandum
To: Michael Peterson, City of Richfield
From: Josh Phillips, Barr Engineering Co.
Subject: Recommendation for Bid Award
Date: November 24, 2020
Project: Christian Park Pond Maintenance and Improvement Project
c: Steve Klein, Barr Engineering Co.
Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) attended and assisted the City of Richfield with a public bid opening for the
Christian Park Pond Maintenance and Improvement project on November 19, 2020. The city received 18
bids for the project and Barr tabulated and checked the bid results following the public bid opening.
Barr’s review of the bids resulted in changes to the total bid amount for 6 of the 18 contractor bids,
however, the changes resulted in no differences to the order of the three lowest bidders.
Following the bid opening, the apparent low bidder, Standard Contracting (Standard), indicated that they
had a mistake in their bid. Their mistake was on the bid price for the sediment disposal. The project
specifications stated that the disposal should be handled and bid as hazardous material. Standard bid the
sediment disposal as regular material not hazardous. This mistake made Standard’s bid price much lower
than it would have been if it was bid as hazardous material. Standard requested to withdraw their bid
from consideration and to forgive the bid bond. After consultation with the City Attorney, the City is
allowing Standard to withdraw their bid and will forgive the bid bond. The City will award the project to
the next lowest, responsive bidder.
Barr recommends awarding the Christian Park Pond Maintenance and Improvement Project to Minnesota
Dirt Works for $123,456.00.

I T E M F O R C O UNC I L C O NS I D E RAT IO N:
Conduct a public hearing and consider a second reading of an ordinance establishing a nine-month
moratorium on the development of certain pr operties in the vicinity of Veteran's Park. The moratorium
would apply to pr operties that are guided for Medium and High Density R esidential or C ommercial use
in the 2040 R ichfield Comprehensive Plan.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Veteran's Park is an important community asset, providing year-round recreational opportunities for Richfield
residents and visitors. The 108-ac re park includes important fac ilities (ice arena, pool, mini-golf, band shell),
as well as as natural space, and the Veteran's Memorial.
The City's Comprehensive Plan guides land uses along the edge of the Park, along Portland Avenue and 66th
Street, as a mix of low to high density residential and community commercial, but provides no spec ific
guidanc e for how these parcels relate to the Park itself. The American Legion (Legion) owns a large piece of
property that essentially extends into the Park. As the Legion prepares to sell this property, staff has begun
considering how the redevelopment of this parcel, and others nearby, could be done in a way that would be
complimentary to the Park - adding value to any potential redevelopment and also to one of the City's most
popular destinations.
Staff is recommending that the C ity Council conduc t a planning study of the area along Portland Avenue
between Highway 62 and 67th Street and 66th Street between 5th Avenue and approximately 11th Avenue.
The study would provide an opportunity for additional policy maker and community engagement to better
inform redevelopment goals. I n order to conduct this study, staff rec ommends a 9-month moratorium on
properties with a P lanned Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential, High D ensity Residential, or
Community C ommercial in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. W ithout a moratorium, development could occur
in this area that satisfies the minimum requirements of the Zoning Code, but does not meet the intent or long-
term goals of the C ity.
The likely outc ome of a study would be a recommendation for either zoning modification though adoption of
an Overlay District, similar to what has been done for the Penn Avenue Corridor, or design guidelines. I n
either case, the purpose would be to ensure that private and public investments in the area work together for
mutual benefit.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T IO N:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Approve a second reading of the attached
ordinance establishing a nine-month moratorium on the development of pr operties in the vicinity of
Veteran's Par k that are guided for Medium or High Density Residential, or C ommercial use in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT IO N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON TEXT
Planned land use designations in Veteran's Park area have changed only slightly over the past 25
years, modestly expanding and contracting the c ommercial areas at the 66th & Portland
interchange and vary ing residential densities along both streets. The Legion site has been guided
for higher density housing since 1997.
The home at 6505 Portland Avenue was built in 1935. The Legion and the Morris Nilson Funeral
Chapel were c onstruc ted in 1956 and 1958, respectively.
The C ity most recently studied the 66th Street portion of the proposed study area in partnership
with Hennepin County, prior to the road reconstruction (2011). I dentified next steps inc luded
continued collaboration with property owners in the area of Veteran's P ark to strengthen the
relationship between public and private spac es.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
State Law allows cities to adopt interim ordinances for the purposes of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
Although not required by Statute, the City is holding this public hearing and has notified affected
property owners.
I f approved, the moratorium may be rescinded at any time.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G ISSU E S:
There is a potential for the submittal of land use or building permit applications whic h do not meet
the intent or long-term goals of the City for this area.
I t is likely that the Legion site will be sold for redevelopment in the near future.
The C ity does not wish to unduly delay a sale or the redevelopment of this parc el or any other
within the planning study area; however, it is important to take a closer look at our current
regulations and whether or not they provide suffic ient guidance to ac hieve c ommunity goals for
the area.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
Staff spoke with several planning firms about the potential study and ultimately requested proposals from
two firms. A contract with Hoisington Koegler Group, I nc . is being prepared.

AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A NINE-MONTH MORATORIUM ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN THE VINICITY OF VETERANS
MEMORIAL PARK THAT ARE GUIDED FOR MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, OR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL USE IN THE 2040
RICHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND DIRECTING THAT A PLANNING STUDY
BE CONDUCTED
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. The 2040 Richfield Comprehensive Plan (“Comprehensive Plan”) describes
Veterans Memorial Park as one of the City’s most popular parks and a
destination park drawing in people from the surrounding metro area.
1.02. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for additional study of a
Community Center strategy to weigh costs and benefits of a potential
community center, potential locations, and more.
1.03. The 66th Street Corridor Plan (“66th Street Plan”) identifies a need for
continued exploration of public/private partnerships, synergy of future uses
with adjacent neighborhoods, and a strategic vision to strengthen
development along East 66th Street.
1.04. The City has not studied or adopted any zoning or design regulations specific
to the Veterans Memorial Park area that would effectuate the synergy and
strengthened relationship contemplated by these plans, nor has the City
further explored a potential Community Center as described in the
Comprehensive Plan.
1.05. The Comprehensive Plan guides certain parcels of land in the vicinity of
Veterans Memorial Park as Medium Density Residential, High Density
Residential, or Community Commercial.
1.06. Some of the land within the area of Veterans Memorial Park that is guided for
Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, or Community
Commercial use in the Comprehensive Plan is presently zoned R – Low-
Density Residential.
1.07. At the present time there is no zoning classification, overlay district
regulations, or design guidelines that appropriately correspond to the type of
development contemplated in the Veterans Memorial Park Area.
1.08. Minnesota Statutes Section 473.865, subdivision 3 requires that official
controls, such as zoning codes, that are inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan be amended within nine months of adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
so as not to conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
1.09. The City has received more than one inquiry about potential redevelopment
of property within the Veterans Memorial Park Area that further evidences
the need for the City to bring its official controls into conformance with its
Comprehensive Plan.
1.10. The lack of an adequate and available zoning classification that corresponds
to the desire for a complementary development is a barrier to staged and
orderly implementation of the Comprehensive Plan and is contrary to the
fundamental precepts of orderly municipal planning.
1.11. The public interest will be harmed if piecemeal development is permitted to
continue according to zoning standards that conflict with the stated goals of
the Comprehensive Plan.
1.12. The City Council has determined a need to undertake a study to determine
the appropriate zoning controls for the land in the Veterans Memorial Park
area that is guided for Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential,
or Community Commercial use.
1.13. Upon completion of the study, the City Council, together with such city
commissions as the City Council deems appropriate or as may be required
by law, will consider the advisability of amending certain official controls,
which may include the City’s Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinance, and
capital improvement program, or other official controls.
1.14. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subdivision 4 allows the City to adopt
an interim ordinance for the purpose of protecting the planning process and
the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
Sec. 2. Findings.
2.01 The City Council finds that it is necessary to conduct planning studies to
determine the appropriate land use controls that should apply to properties
that meet all of the following characteristics:
a. The lands have a Comprehensive Plan land use guide plan
designation of Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential,
or Community Commercial; and
b. The lands are located within the Veterans Memorial Park Area, which
is defined as that area lying along Portland Avenue between Highway
62 to the North and 67th Street to the South, and along 66th Street
East from 5th Avenue to 11th Avenue, including properties on the east
side of 11th Avenue;
2.02 The purpose of the studies to be conducted includes, but is not limited to
determining the appropriate land use and development standards that should
apply to such property and determining the appropriate changes, if any that
should be made to the City’s official land use controls, including but not
limited to the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan and Capital
Improvement Program.
2.03 The City Council finds that there is a need to adopt a moratorium ordinance
for a portion of the City to prevent development within the Moratorium Area
as shown in Exhibit A, while the studies referenced in section 2.01 are
conducted.
2.04 The City Council finds that this moratorium should apply to the following
types of land use applications, as more specifically described at section 3.02
below: requests for rezoning, subdivisions, conditional use permits, site plan
review, and building permits for construction in excess of 500 square feet, all
signs, or exterior remodeling.
Sec. 3. Planning Study: Moratorium.
3.01. A study is authorized to be conducted by City staff, to be followed by
consideration of potential changes to the city’s official land use controls by the City
Council and such other commissions of the City as required by law or as directed by
the City Council.
3.02. Pending completion of the study and adoption of any amendments to the
City’s official controls, a moratorium is established on the issuance of City approvals
for the properties in the Moratorium Area, as provided in this section:
a. Except as provided at paragraph c of this section 3.02, no building permit
may be issued (I) for the expansion of any existing use in the Moratorium
Area, where the expansion is greater than 500 square feet, or (ii) for the
establishment of a new use; or (iii) for exterior remodeling or façade
improvements; or (iv) for the construction of a new building.
b. Except as provided at paragraph c of this section 3.02, no applications for
any of the following approvals may be granted or processed during the
period of the moratorium: rezoning, comprehensive land use plan
amendment, subdivision or consolidation approval, variances, conditional
use permits, site plan approval, free-standing or monument signs, or
changes in curb cut location.
c. The moratorium will not apply to building permits issued for routine
maintenance or routine repairs of an existing use that do not constitute an
expansion or a change in use. The moratorium will not apply to interior
remodeling or improvements. The moratorium will not apply to wall signs
related to change in tenancy.
3.03 During the period of the moratorium, applications for any such approvals
related to property in the Moratorium Area shall not be accepted by the City
nor shall the Planning Commission or City Council consider or grant approval
of any such application, except after approval of the City Council as provided
in section 3.05 of this ordinance.
3.04 The Moratorium established by this ordinance shall apply to any application
pending as of the date of this ordinance, but it shall not apply to a subdivision
or consolidation that has received preliminary plat approval prior to the
adoption of Resolution No.__________, nor shall the moratorium extend the
timeline for acting upon an application as provided in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 15.99. Any application submitted to which the moratorium applies
shall be denied unless the application includes a specific request that it be
excepted from the moratorium, in which case the City staff shall submit the
application to the City Council for consideration of granting an exception.
3.05 The City Council may approve exceptions to this moratorium for an
application if the City Council, in its sole discretion, determines that the
approval being sought will not interfere with the purposes for which this
moratorium was adopted.
Sec. 4. Enforcement. The City may enforce this ordinance by mandamus,
injunction or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Sec. 5. Term. Unless earlier repealed by the City Council, the moratorium
established under this ordinance shall remain in effect until August 24, 2021. The
moratorium may be extended for a reasonable time, in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes Section 462.355.
Sec. 6. Effective Date. This ordinance is effective as provided by section 3.09
of the Richfield City Charter.

2. The rates and charges for the use and availability of the system are determined through
the use of a “Residential Equivalent Factor” (REF). One REF is defined as the ratio of
the average volume of surface runoff coming from one acre of land and subjected to a
particular use, to the average volume of runoff coming from one acre of land subjected to
typical single-family residential use within the City during a standard one year rainfall
event. The REF’s for the following land uses within the City and the billing classifications
for such land uses are as follows:
LAND USES REF CLASSIFICATION
Cemeteries
.25

Parks and railroads .75 2
Two-family residential 1.00 3
Single-family residential 1.00 4
Public and private schools
and institutional uses

Multiple-family residential
uses and churches
3.00
6
Commercial, industrial, and
Warehouse uses
5.00
7
3. The basic system quarterly rate for storm sewer service is $103.82 per acre of land.
$20.76 is the quarterly rate for a single-family residence, which is considered to have an
acreage of one-fifth acre. The charge made against each parcel of land is then
determined by multiplying the REF for the parcel’s land use classification times the
parcel’s acreage times the basic system rate.
STREET LIGHT RATES AND CHARGES FOR 2021
1. Pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes, Section 429.101and Section 825
of the Ordinance Code of the City of Richfield, the rates and charges for City street light
service are hereby established to be those set forth in the following paragraphs of this
resolution:
2. The street light fee for residential single family property is $5.77 per quarter.
3. Rates for other land uses will be determined by land use types based on the following
table:
STREET LIGHT LAND USES:
COM All commercial properties, to include multifamily residents (apartments) and
industrial parcels.
RES All residentially coded parcels.
PUB Public buildings, i.e. City Hall, City Garage, and Fire Stations
CHURCH All Churches also to include cemeteries and activity buildings associated with
a Church
SCH All schools, to include private and public schools.
PRK All parks owned by the City of Richfield, also to include Nature Centers and all
“properties” located within city park parcels
DPLX Addresses that split a residential lot, to include townhomes, 3-plexes, and 4-
plexes.

4. The multiplier of “5” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre;
hence multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
5. The multiplier of “1.25” ” is based on the definition that a residential lot is 1/5 of an acre
and multiplying acreage by 5 produces the equivalent number of residential lots.
However, the total area of each parcel is not proportional to the number of street lights in
an equivalent residential area so the factor of 5 is reduced by 75%, producing 1.25.
6.5% PENALTY ON PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
1. Customers will have twenty eight (28) days to pay their water, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer, and street light quarterly bills from the date of the mailing by the City. Any unpaid
amount will be added to the next quarterly bill along with a 6.5% penalty on the
delinquent amount.
2. The penalty charge when billed on past due accounts shall be allocated proportionally
between the City’s water fund, sewer fund, and storm sewer fund based on the user fees
billed for each fund.

In 2017, the State Legislature approved legislation to allow cities to establish housing
trust funds in order to facilitate affordable housing efforts in the State.
On May 26, 2020, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing an Affordable
Housing Trust Fund.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):

The C ity's C omprehensive Plan supports the preservation, maintenance and diversific ation of the
City 's housing stoc k and the provision of housing that meets the diverse needs of all its residents.
Ensuring housing stability for its residents and preserving and creating affordable housing
furthers these goals.
The HRA works to implement the Comprehensive Plan by administering a variety of housing
programs for people who own their homes and who rent their homes as well as for residents
across the income spec trum.

T he 2020 revised budget included $125,000 in H R A Capital Improvement Fund money
for emergency rent assistance; however, the H R A has been reimbursed for that
expenditure with federal CARE S Act funds so there are no expenditures/revenues in the
Trust Fund in 2020.
