Staff Reports
Recreation Services
Topitzhofer reported on the following:
New Year’s Eve: Successful events were held at the Ice Arena and Wood Lake Nature Center.
Richfield Home and Garden Show: The RHGS, formerly known as the Remodeling Fair, will include displays provided by Richfield
Recreation, to share information about gardening, outdoor recreation, etc. CSC members are asked to volunteer to staff a booth with a
slide show of Richfield’s parks and park information.
Action Items
Farmers Market Report & Policies
Byers-Ferrian explained the idea of the satellite location of the Farmers Market, which has been held in addition to the main Saturday
market for the last few years. She said that the location and day of the week of the satellite market has changed over the years. She
said that, for the past two years, the market has been held on the property owned by Cornerstone Development, where the Lyndale
Garden Center used to be. She said that it has presented a few challenges: parking, space, run down pavement, access to electricity
and water, visibility and signage, competition with Lakewinds and their certified-organic produce, and limited staff time. Topitzhofer
asked for the group’s reaction to the idea of taking a break from the satellite market for a year or two. Heinze said that it sounds like
the challenges outweigh the benefits. Bornholdt asked if anybody is strongly in favor of keeping the satellite market. Engeldinger said
that she leans that way, considering that it may take time to build an audience for it and other sites could be considered. Topitzhofer
said that a main deterrent to having a market with such low attendance is not as much about the City’s time and money, but more about
the vendor’s time and money. Byers-Ferrian said that many vendors did not come back to the satellite market because it costs them
money to be there and they depend on sales. Engeldinger moved, seconded by Kruse, to approve of the decision to suspend the
satellite market at Lyndale Gardens. Byers-Ferrian also presented the group with her draft application for community groups to have a
presence at the Farmers Market. She said that it has been groups like master gardeners, Hennepin County transportation, Richfield 4th
of July Committee, Richfield Historical Society, etc. She said that she likes having these groups as a connection to the community.
She said that some markets do not like having any groups that would be doing any fundraising. She asked the group how they felt
about allowing for-profit groups. She recommended limiting it to Richfield-based non-profit groups and not allowing for-profit groups
who may be in competition with the market vendors for people’s money. Dragotis said that they may be open to for-profit groups
having a presence, but more in a sponsorship role. Engeldinger asked if for-profit groups have been charged in the past and if it would
generate a lot of revenue if we did. Byers Ferrian said that they have not been charged. Topitzhofer said that he favors the
sponsorship idea, like our relationship with Lakewinds. Edgerton said that community groups definitely would create that vibrant
community atmosphere and for-profit groups should be more limited. Kruse said that the policy could be written with clear criteria about
the groups that would be allowed at the market for free and what kind of objective the market has with the sponsorship idea.
Topitzhofer asked how the group feels about local community groups that may ask for donations. Heinze said that fundraisers would
have a strong presence. Kruse said that, thinking in terms of scout groups selling cookies and wrapping paper and wreaths, it would
not be the proper forum for active fundraising groups. Edgerton said that maybe there could be some guidelines that would limit the
sales and fundraising activity. Engeldinger agreed, saying that if they had a presence that wasn’t more aggressive than the vendors,
it’s part of the community. Heinze said that, through the application process, staff could make the decision. Edgerton said that it
shouldn’t be arbitrary. Topitzhofer summarized: the CSC favors groups that are in or near Richfield and some guidelines should be
written that clearly spell out the kind of group that would or would not be allowed. Byers-Ferrian said that the criteria may be more
useful if they disallow certain aggressive sales tactics, rather than certain groups. Edgerton said that maybe businesses could be
approached with a formal sponsorship plan, like bronze, silver, and gold levels.
Friends of Wood Lake Board Reappointment
Edgerton moved, seconded by Thompson, to reappoint Nancy Stiller to the Friends of Wood Lake Board for a three-year term.
Approved, ayes all.
DRAFT MINUTES UNTIL APPROVED BY THE CSC.
January 20, 2015
Discussion Items
66th Street Intersections
Transportation Engineer Pearson outlined the plans for the reconstruction of 66th Street, spotlighting the planned use of roundabouts,
public art, signage, and different types of pedestrian signals. He outlined the schedule for bringing the plan to the Planning
Commission, Council, and Arts Commission.
Garfield Park Play Equipment Replacement
Topitzhofer said that Garfield Park is the next park in the cycle to have its play equipment replaced. He said that the old play
equipment had to be removed for safety reasons, as it was old and not up to current standards. He said that staff would use the usual
process: hold a neighborhood meeting just prior to the February CSC meeting, invite neighbors to talk about their preferences, issue a
request-for-proposal, assemble a subcommittee to grade the proposals, and present the contract to the Council. He presented a few
alternate features to propose to the neighborhood for the park, like benches, pet waste receptacles, a perimeter trail, better lighting, or
a drinking fountain. Kruse likes the idea of a perimeter trail, since people have used the park for walking dogs. Topitzhofer asked
about the choice between a perimeter trail and play equipment. Kruse said that it depends on the people of the neighborhood.
Edgerton asked if the playground was well-used. Topitzhofer said that he has gotten three or four calls from neighbors, asking if it will
be replaced. Kruse said that these calls probably warrant new equipment. Topitzhofer said that he will talk with neighbors about these
options, as well as ideas for gates in the fence between the park and the apartments. Engeldinger asked if there is a waste receptacle
in the park now or if a new one would require another stop for garbage trucks. Topitzhofer said that he wasn’t sure, but it would be
added as a stop for the park garbage truck. Topitzhofer said that the neighborhood meeting would be at the Community Center.
Capital Improvement Budget Preliminary Discussion
Topitzhofer presented the outline of the draft capital improvement plan, saying that he’s presenting the items for an initial look; the
items will return for the group’s consideration in February.
Committee Reports
Transportation Commission: Edgerton provided the report.
Band Shell Taskforce: Bornholdt provided the report, talking about the concept of naming the band shell after the Peterson Family.
Arts Commission: Thompson provided the report.

of years, so will have to resign from the group, effective immediately.

Recommended Action:
None
In anticipation of the reconstruction of 66th Street, City Council has been discussing the use of roundabouts
along the corridor as an alternative to signalized intersections. With the technical recommendation from the
Transportation Commission recommending roundabouts along the corridor, staff is also recommending a
review of the Guiding Principles and how they relate to the choice of intersections along the corridor. To
accommodate this effort, the intersections were discussed with the Community Services Commission at the
last meeting and with key stakeholders and commissions prior to Council consideration of the intersection
choice, which is expected to occur at the February 24, 2015.
The Community Services Commission decided to wait a month before taking action on this item. A short
presentation will take place to introduce the Guiding Principles to new members and to refresh the
Commission on the pros and cons of roundabouts along the corridor as an alternative to signalized
intersections.

Lincoln Fields Loan* - The remaining balance is $156,740, to be paid off in 2016

dating back to 1961. Recommend new equipment includes state of the art controls and an energy efficient
boiler & air conditioner with condensing unit.
Arena Rink 1 Dasher Boards – The existing dasher boards are original wooden structure that surrounds
the ice. This structure is rotting and is obsolete, and should be replacement with a more suitable material.
Rink 1 Conversion to Indirect Refrigeration- Richfield is one of 120 ice arenas that is required to change
