ITEM #1
4-YEAR (2023-2027) STRATEGIC PLAN QUARTERLY UPDATE
City Manager Rodriguez gave a brief update about the progress of the strategic plan and
dashboard and asked for feedback from Council Members.
Mayor Supple asked if there was a way to measure the amount of visitors to the dashboard.
Management Analyst Swanson stated there was not a way to see how many people visit the
dashboard but staff could see how many visited the website. He stated 83 people had visited the
website since launch.
Council Member Whalen stated he would be interested in seeing how many people visit the
website and asked if it would be worth keeping the dashboard if not many people were visiting the
site. City Manager Rodriguez stated it would still be useful for reporting purposes, telling stories, and
decision making.
Council Member Whalen stated it was helpful to have a comprehensive report at the beginning
of the process but asked for more high-level reports over the course of the year. Management Analyst
Swanson stated the dashboard is only at the starting point now and staff would look at other options
as time went on.
Council Member Hayford Oleary stated the director notes were helpful in better understanding
the goals of the plan.
Mayor Supple noted there were some benchmarks still waiting for progress updates. City
Manager Rodriguez stated she was hopeful those benchmarks would be added by the end of 2023.
City Council Work Session Minutes
-2- March 28, 2023
Mayor Supple asked if any members of the public had given any feedback. City Manager
Rodriguez stated there has not been any feedback received from residents yet.
ITEM #2
RECAP PRESENTATION AND COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THE REMOVAL OF
ALL TOBACCO PRODUCTS FROM RICHFIELD LIQUOR STORES
City Manager Rodriguez gave a brief introduction into the item. Assistant City Manager
Thongvanh gave updates on the operations of the liquor store as well as funding streams from
revenues. He noted the city was studying the effects of removing tobacco products from liquor stores.
Liquor Operations Manager Fierst spoke about current inventory of tobacco products.
Assistant City Manager Thongvanh spoke about challenges including worker turnover in the stores.
Mayor Supple summarized the discussion and spoke about the financial outcomes of
removing tobacco products.
Council Member Hayford Oleary stated it would not be fair to new small business owners if the
city could sell tobacco products but they could not.
Council Member Whalen agreed with Council Member Hayford Oleary’s statement but noted
there needed to be conversations about how the city would make up the lost income.
Council Member Whalen asked for clarifications about where additional profits go other than
the park budget and if other sources could be reduced. City Manager Rodriguez stated that since it is
an enterprise fund, portions of it go to other city funds. She also stated staff was still researching how
the funds could be moved around. In regards to making up lost revenue, City Manager Rodriguez
stated the city would look at selling low potency THC products and other possibilities. She expected
some lean years as the pandemic produced better sales only temporarily.
Council Member Whalen asked if enterprise funds could be used to pay off bonding debts. City
Manager Rodriguez stated she was unsure if liquor store profits could be used to keep up building
maintenance.
Council Member Hayford Oleary and Assistant City Manager Thongvanh discussed liquor
store profits and how one store was underperforming more than others. Council Member Hayford
Oleary stated he would be comfortable with closing one store if underperforming. Council Member
Whalen added that selling the store in a prime location could help the city financially.
Mayor Supple stated she understood both sides and asked if the prohibition of tobacco
products would cause customers to go to other liquor stores instead. Liquor Operations Manager
Fierst stated tobacco was a convience product and that it would be hard to say if they drove overall
sales.
City Manager Rodriguez spoke about Council Member Trautmann’s views and that he could
go either way depending on how the rest of the Council would vote. Council Member Christensen
stated she would support ending tobacco sales in liquor stores giving the measure a majority vote
along with Council Members Hayford Oleary and Whalen.
City Manager Rodriguez asked if this item should come to Council when adult-use cannabis
legislation was completed at the legislature. Council agreed with that decision.
City Council Work Session Minutes
-3- March 28, 2023
Mayor Supple stated if a prohibition was put in place, business owners should be notifed

owners.

THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO ELIMINATE
THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT FOR A PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT (STAFF REPORT NO. 37)
Council Member Hayford Oleary presented Staff Report 37.
Council Member Whalen asked for examples of past projects where PUD’s were applied.
Community Development Director Poehlman noted it could vary from project to project including where
City Council Meeting Minutes -3- March 28, 2023
setbacks are needed, landscaping plans, etc. can be varied in order to get the type of project the
Comprehensive Plans called for. She noted in many cases they would be asked to do something above
and beyond code requirements in exchange.
Council Member Hayford Oleary stated he was in support of the size condition as he did not
believe that was a useful way to judge this, but he did worry about changing the rules for certain
properties rather than keeping things that work universally in the future.
Mayor Supple stated one of the things she understood was that this could apply only to items
that say planned in front of them and it was not the entire city. Community Development Director
Poehlman responded in order to have a PUD, it was necessary to rezone to a PUD district. However,
if it was already zoned with a “P” in front, then they could use this flexibility.
M/Hayford Oleary, S/Whalen to approve the Ordinance amending the Zone Code Regulations
to eliminate the minimum lot size requirement for a Planned Unit Development and the associated
Resolution approving summary publication of an Ordinance to eliminate the minimum lot size
requirement for a planned unit development.

ELIMINATING THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENT FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
Council Member Whalen stated his understanding is that this is not that they are moving
toward every development becoming Planned Unit Developments, but rather this would allow the
flexibility that if a developer was proposing something the city thought was worth flexibility, that the
option was there but it would still go through the full vetting process. He stated he was in support of
this.
Council Member Hayford Oleary asked how the PUD’s worked when changes were made to
the zoning code. Community Development Director Poehlman explained the process and noted it
was dealt with individually but it was based on the current code.
Motion carried: 4-0
ITEM #6
CONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ALLOWING STAFF TO

Mayor Supple asked if the funds passed through the city and then the city sent it through to
the Health Department or was this separate. Jennifer Anderson explained how the funds would be
handled. She indicated this was saying Richfield was opting in so they could become part of the
settlement.
Motion carried: 4-0
ITEM #7
CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Rodriguez indicated on the previous Open Forum Mr. Ernster and Ms. Best had
requested information. She noted she would be sending additional details to them by email. She noted
the PowerPoint presentation given by Mr. Ernster and Ms. Best contained inaccuracies which was
understandable as TIF was complicated. She recommended if anyone wanted to learn more about the
issue to view the presentation from the Ehlers that they made at the March 6 Work Session. She noted
the elimination of the minimum assessment agreement would not reduce the payments to the city,
county, or school district.
City Manager Rodriguez stated Ms. Balaban noted at the previous Open Forum that Ms.
Balaban had requested that all city meetings be videotaped. She indicated currently there was not the
staff capacity or the technology in every meeting room to videotape all meetings. She indicated the
Council, the Planning Commission, and the HRA meetings would continue to be videotaped.
City Manager Rodriguez indicated Ms. Balaban had also requested the Commission members
be provided city email addresses. She stated staff was hoping to be able to do this and they are
currently researching the best way to facilitate this.
City Manager Rodriquez stated Ms. Balaban had also requested the Community Development
Department not staff multiple commissions. She indicated CDC only staffs the Planning Commission,
the HRA, and the EDA and not the Charter Commission. She noted the HRA and EDA had the same
governing board and had consecutive meetings also.
ITEM #8

winning an infrastructure grant. He thanked Will Wlizlo at the school district for looking for grants for
the city.
Mayor Supple noted the Richfield Chamber of Commerce had their Circle of Excellence Awards
earlier this month. She congratulated the award recipients. She did a shout out to the Richfield public
schools for their Job Olympics. She noted the Richfield Foundation was starting planning for their Taste
of Richfield to be held on May 11 and were looking for volunteers and sponsors. She shouted out to the
Minnesota Whitecaps who made it to the playoffs for the Isobel Cup. She thanked everyone who came
for the Commission interviews.

Consider adoption of a resolution requesting an advance payment of Municipal State Aid (MS A) Street
Funds to collect funds available for the completion of ongoing and upcoming projects.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed resolution requesting an advancement of MS A funds.
These funds would then be available to cover costs related to the ongoing 77th St Underpass and 65th St
Reconstruction projects and the upcoming 494 Project 1.
The maximum amount of MS A funds that Richfield can request is typically $4,000,000. To help fund the
ongoing and upcoming projects within the City, Richfield staff have identified the following amounts needed to
cover expenditures at this time:
494 Project 1: $2,700,000 (local capital costs of $2.2M plus staff time)
77th St Underpass Project: $400,000
65th St Reconstruction Project: $900,000
These amounts do not constitute the anticipated total funding needs for these projects, so additional advance
requests may be recommended in the coming years.
Richfield Staff are recommending the City Council request an advance for these amounts.

Consider approval of a bid tabulation and award of contract to Corrective Asphalt Materials, LL C for
the 2023 Maltene Pavement Rejuvenation Project in the amount $100,700, and authorize the City
Manager to approve contract changes under $175,000 without further City Council consideration.

Pavement Preservation Program
I n 2018, the City initiated a thorough pavement preservation and maintenance program for streets that follows
the Accelerated Mill and Overlay program. The intent is to preserve the new road surface and further extend
pavement life in an effort to preserve the City's investment in Richfield streets. The maintenance program
includes:
Maltene Pavement Rejuvenation or Reclamite application (1-3 years following mill and overlay)
Crack Sealing (1-3 years following mill and overlay)
Sealcoat or other application (7-10 years following mill and overlay)
This year's Reclamite application will be performed on the streets that were resurfaced in 2021 and 2022, as
well as Lyndale Ave, which was reconstructed in 2019. Bids for the project were opened on March 23rd,
2023. Corrective Asphalt Materials, LL C was the only bidder, with a bid of $100,700.
The Preservation Process
After paving, asphalt settles and dries out causing surface voids to form that allow water into the pavement and
ultimately lead to cracking and other forms of pavement failure. Maltene based pavement rejuvenation,
using the product known as Reclamite, soaks into these voids to seal them. T his process gives the
asphalt more durability and flexibility, and results in longer pavement life.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Approve the bid tabulation and award of contract to Corrective Asphalt Materials, LL C for
the 2023 Maltene Pavement Rejuvenation Project in the amount $100,700, and authorize the City

B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
Maltene based pavement rejuvenation/Reclamite has been a critical part of the preservation of the
City's investment in the 6-year Accelerated Mill & Overlay program.
All of the City's local roadways are monitored on an annual basis, and roads not resurfaced
during the Accelerated Mill and Overlay project are resurfaced as needed.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
W hen the amount of purchase is estimated to exceed $175,000, sealed bids shall be solicited by
public notice in the manner and subject to the law governing contracts or purchases by the City of
Richfield.
W hile this contract is below the $175,000 purchasing threshold, Staff is seeking City Council
approval because bids were solicited through the formal competitive bidding process.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
The maltene based pavement rejuvenation should be completed by the fall.
Regular preventive maintenance techniques are effective in delaying costly street reconstruction
projects.

Consider the adoption of a resolution approving the contract with the Labor and Trades Local 49 for
the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 and authorize the City Manager to execute the
agreement.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
City staff have completed labor negotiations with the Labor and Trades Local 49 (Union). The provisions of
the 2023 labor agreement cover all of the 39 employees in this Union.
The one-year contract provides a cost-of-living wage adjustment of 3.00% in 2023, consistent with other
employee groups.
I t also provides a one time increase of $0.25/hour to replace the C D L licensure pay.
There is also a one-time increase of $1.50/hour to the LT3 pay to align better with the market. Currently, there
are no permanent LT3 positions but staff are moved into the LT3 position temporarily when supervisors are
out.
There is also a $2.00/hour shift differential for nights and weekends added for water plant employees, also to
better align with the market.
Call back pay is being increased to double-time on 3 specific holidays.
The agreement also includes the same employer-provided health and dental insurance contributions as given
to the city's non-represented employee groups and other bargaining units. I t also provides nominal increases
to the uniform/boot allowance and to a licensure/certification pay rate.
Last, we are entering an agreement to participate in the Local 49 Training Center Fund at a rate of
$0.10/hour for each hour worked by employees in any classification that fall under this contract.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By motion: Adopt a resolution approving the provisions of the 2023 labor agreement with the Labor &
Trades Local 49 bargaining unit and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
The City and Labor & Trades Local 49 were unable to reach agreement on a two-year contract for 2022
and 2023. This proposed one-year contract should restore a schedule to complete two-year contracts
with all 5 collective bargaining groups for 2024 and 2025 forward.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The City has met and negotiated in good faith with the Union and its representatives and is bound under
the Public Employer's Labor Relations Act to meet and bargain over the terms and conditions of
employment.
The proposed settlement for the health and dental insurance provisions is identical to those provided to
both union and non-union City employees.
The City has a long history of providing the same level of insurance benefits to all eligible City
employees. T he 3.00% cost of living wage increase is the same increase implemented for non-
union City employees and other contracts settled for 2023. A survey of comparable cities
indicates that those cities are providing an average of a 3.00 % cost of living increase, in
addition to implementing other incentives, and other pay plan adjustments.
The City also has a long history of trying to remain as close as possible to the midrange of wages and
benefits compared to similar cities. The proposed and agreed upon wages will allow the City to continue
this practice and remain an employer of choice.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
I n order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify payroll records in a timely manner for 2023
wages and benefits and in order to not further delay any pay due to employees, it is recommended that
the City Council act on April 11, 2023, to adopt a resolution providing for contract changes, effective
J anuary 1, 2023.
D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T:
W ages: A 3% wage adjustment to all pay grades.
A flat $0.25/hour added to each base rate of pay, replacing the current C D L pay.
T here is also a one-time increase of $1.50/hour to the LT 3 pay to align better with the market.
Currently, there are no permanent LT 3 positions but staff are moved into the LT 3 position
temporarily when supervisors are out.
There is also a $2.00/hour shift differential for nights and weekends added for water plant employees,
also to better align with the market.
Double-time pay for call backs when they occur on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas
Day.
An increase of $.25/hour for A P W A certificate pay for those employees who have completed 5 years of
service in the Public Works W orker job title.
A $0.15/hour increase to the maximum licensure/certification pay.
Change the C D L I nspection Specialist pay of $1.50/hour to a Licensure/Certification pay.
An increase of $25 to the uniform and clothing allowance.
Health and Dental I nsurance: The same health and dental insurance employer contributions as all other
bargaining and non-bargaining groups.
