Council Meeting Minutes
-5-
February 8, 2005
Council Member Wroge expressed concern for the specific area of 1-494/Nicollet Avenue
where a CVS and possible Wendy's ac~,proposed. He reviewed the estimated increase in taxes
payable in 2005 for that area as it currently is developed and with the proposed development. He
stated this area works for a CVS and they're not asking for a City subsidy.
Council Member Wrage stated he would not support the moratorium and that litigation is a
possibility when the CVS fits in with what's there now.
Council Member Sandahl stated it was a practical matter to support the moratorium
because there is a need to have the Comprehensive Plan be in accordance with the zoning
ordinance and the vision of the City.
Council Member Sandahl questioned the estimated taxes for the proposed development.
Assistant Community Development Director Stark explained the tax figures and that some
interpretation is necessary. He added that staff found the market value for the proposed CVS
drugstore higher than realistic and difficult to substantiate.
Council Member Wroge stated the value is for the entire site and that he had seen this
figure previously.
Mr. Stark explained the CVS developer was contacted and confirmed the $5 million figure
used by the assessor.
Council Member Sandahl stated the data was interesting but not appropriate because it
does not apply to the whole 1-494 Corridor.
Council Member Wrage stated he is concerned with the appearance that, in some
instances, the City is jumping around on development with no consistency.
Council Member Kilian expressed support for the moratorium because of the
Comprehensive Plan and zoning issues on this gateway to the City and the need for higher-end
development.
Mayor Kirsch expressed support for the moratorium based on Comprehensive Plan
consistency.
Motion carried 4-1. 0Nroge opposed.) This resolution appears as Resolution No. 9582 in
Resolution Book No. 75.
Item #8
Council Member Sandahl presented Staff Report No.'s 32 and 33 (Items 8 and 9) regarding
a second reading of an ordinance modifying the electric franchise fee on Northern State Power
d/b/a Xcel Energy for providing electric service within the City of Richfield, a second reading of an
ordinance modifying the gas franchise fee on Centerpoint Energy for providing gas service in the
City of Richfield, and resolutions authorizing a summary publication of both ordinances.
Council Meeting Minutes
-6-
February 8, 2005
Acting City Manager Devich clarified that the cumulative annual fees generated by the 10%
increase amount is approximately $60,000 with a full year of collections - not $40-50,000 as stated
in the Staff Report.
Acting City Manager Devich sta,ted the public hearing for Items 8 and 9 could be conducted
together with separate motions on the ordinanGes and resolutions.
Betty Gustafson, 7327 Thomas Averue, spoke against the franchise fees and stated they
were increased because no one complained. She added there is sales tax applied to the franchise
fees.
Robert Hall, 7309 Oliver Avenue, questioned the sequence of the City Council action taken
to implement the increase. He asked what would happen if the ordinance was not unanimously
approved by the City Council as stated is necessary in the Staff Report since the increase is
already being collected. He stated there should be one fee with one utility to hold costs down. He
questioned how the rates were determined and said the fee should be based on usage, not a flat
fee, so it more closely mirrors how property taxes are assessed. The franchise fee is more
equitable than a street light utility fee. He suggested the City Council reconsider a' better remedy
for the next budget year.
City Attorney Thomson clarified that the unanimous approval by City Council is not with
respect to the ordinance, but the resolution authorizing summary publication of the ordinance
which is required by the Charter. '
City Attorney Thomson explc;lined the sequence of action for the franchise fee increase.
The ordinances implementing the fees were approved last year. The City has a form of a contract
with the utility companies that already provides that the fees may increase and the company may
simply accept the increase. The City's annual budget process provides an opportunity for the City
Council to review and ,discuss the franchise fees. The City Council agreed to increase the fees
and the companies accepted, which was legally sufficient. The City's legal counsel thought it
appropriate to put the increased fees into an ordinance. If the City Council does not approve the
ordinance, the legality of the fee increa$es is not impacted under the franchise agreement.
Mayor Kirsch stated the franchise fees do come before the City Council as part of the
budget.
Council Member Wroge asked why the largest fee is for electric and the least for gas.
Acting City Manager Devich explained that when the franchise fees where originally
adopted there was careful review and consideration of charging based upon usage or per meter.
The companies preferred the fee by meter which provided a consistent budgetable fee, not based
upon weather. The fees were modeled after other cities and considered the fairest.
Council Member Wroge requested the City Council be provided an explanation regarding
the discrepancy in fees and the number of class categories.
George Holter, 6424 Emerson Avenue, expressed agreement with Mr. Hall's comments.
Government is being made more complicated and asked the City Council to repeal the fee or
change to the usage base.
Larry Wozniczka, 6744 Wentworth Avenue, spoke in opposition to the increased fees
because of the burden placed on small households. The sales tax on the fees should be reviewed
by the City Council if continued. He also stated the City should seek a legislative change to avoid
tax stacking.

M/Sandahl, S/Rosenberg that this constitutes the second readinq of Bill 2005-4 modifyinq
the electric franchise fee on Northern States Power d/b/a Xcel Enerqy for providinq electric service

RESOLUTION NO. 9583
RESOLUTION APPROVING SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO
APPENDIX E OF THE RICHFIELD CITY CODE WHICH PERTAINS
TO THE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE
Council Member Wroge stated the franchise fee should be used as a tool for emergency
uses and expressed concern that the Legislature may put a property tax freeze in place leaving the
City with the only option of increasing fees or laying off staff. There is no sales tax on property tax
and the franchise fees should be revisited.
Council Member Wroge said the franchise fees cover what property tax already pays - tree
replacement and street maintenance. The cost of services should not be hidden in franchise fees
but rather charge for the actual fee.
Council Member Sandahl stated it's not known what the Legislature will do with levy limits
and if they're restricted, the franchise fees are one consistent alternative source of revenue for
street maintenance. Taxes need to be paid to cover the cost of services that residents rely on and
a big jump in taxes is not wanted. She expressed support for the increased fees.
Council Member Kilian expressed agreement with many of Council Member Wroge's
comments. The funds are needed to get the job done. There is a fairness concern and hoped to
continue the review of the franchise fees during the budget process and not assume the fees will
always be there.
Mayor Kirsch asked Acting City Manager Devich if the franchise fees are reviewed during
the budget.
Acting City Manager Devich said yes.
Council Member Rosenberg stated the City Council had no other choices last year when
the franchise fees were implemented. The amount of the fees is distributed fairly and there are
benefits to this good deal.
Council Member Wroge stated there needs to be a change in property taxes and the City
Council will need to be held responsible. Homeowners won't mind an increase of $38 to their
property taxes because the work needs doing.
Council Member Sandahl stated she anticipated that tree replacement costs are more than
$38 and requested the Acting City Manager to provide that information to the City Council.
Motion carried 5-0. This resolution appears as Resolution No. 9583 in Resolution Book No.
