DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR
REVIEW:
REVIEWED BY CITY
MANAGER:
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
First reading of an ordinance amendment relating to vacant buildings.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Conduct a first reading of an ordinance amending Richfield City
Code Section 925 by adding a new subsection related to vacant
buildings.
2. Schedule second reading for March 22, 2011.
II. BACKGROUND
One of the effects of the economic recession has been an increase in the
number of vacant buildings. Vacant buildings have adverse effects on the
livability of the community, especially when they are not properly managed or
maintained.
The City has authority under State law to require vacant buildings to be properly
secured. However, the law requires the City to adopt an ordinance if the City
wants to provide for emergency securing of buildings. The proposed ordinance
0308 First Reading of Vacant Building Ordinance Amendment
also regulates vacant buildings by requiring them to be registered and by
requiring the persons responsible for the buildings to provide the City with a plan
and timetable to return the building to occupancy and use and to correct code
violations or nuisances, or demolish the building.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• Vacant buildings adversely impact the livability of the community,
especially when they are not properly managed or maintained.
• The City incurs costs in monitoring vacant buildings, whether the
buildings are boarded or not. That cost should be borne by the
persons responsible for the buildings rather than by taxpayers.
B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• Adoption of the ordinance will allow the City to implement a vacant
building registration process.
C. FINANCIAL
• The registration fee is intended to offset City costs in monitoring
vacant buildings.
D. LEGAL
• The City Attorney prepared the proposed ordinance.
E. ENVIlZONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
• Vacant buildings often become dumping grounds for junk, debris
and other materials, some of which may be hazardous or
detrimental to the environment.
• Vacant buildings are a source of blight in the community.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~
• None.
V. ATTACPIMENTS
• Ordinance.
VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT
MEETING
• None

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE PERTAINING TO PUBLIC
NUISANCES CAUSED BY VACANT OR ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND PROVIDING
AUTHORITY TO REGISTER, MONITOR, ABATE, ASSESS, AND CLOSE VACANT OR
ABANDONED BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF RICHFIELD
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Section 925 of the Richfield City Code is amended by adding the
following new subsection:
925.02. Registration and Regulation of Vacant Buildings. Subdivision 1. Policy. The
purpose of this subsection is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by
establishing a program for the identification and regulation of vacant buildings within the
City. Subsection 925.02 also determines the responsibilities of owners of vacant
buildings and provides for administration, enforcement, and penalties associated with
the same.
Subd.2. Findings.
(a) Vacant buildings have become a major cause of and source of blight in
residential and non-residential neighborhoods, especially when the owner or
responsible party of the building fails to actively maintain and manage the building to
ensure they do not become a liability to neighborhoods and the community.
(b) Vacant buildings may attract transients, homeless people, trespassers,
and criminals, including drug abusers. Neglect of vacant buildings, as well as use of
vacant buildings by transients and criminals, creates a risk of fire, explosion, or flooding
for the vacant building and adjacent properties.
(c) Vacant properties are often used as dumping grounds for junk and debris
and are often overgrown with weeds and grass.
(d) Vacant buildings that are boarded up to prevent entry by transients and
other long-term vacancies discourage economic development and retard appreciation of
property values.
(e) There is a substantial cost to the City for monitoring vacant buildings
regardless of whether those buildings are boarded or not. This cost should not be borne
by the general taxpayers of the community but rather these costs should be borne by
those who are responsible for vacant buildings. It is a responsibility of property
~~ -a
ownership to prevent property from becoming a burden to the neighborhood and
community and a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.
(f) Owners of multiple vacant properties within the city that allow code
violations, criminal activity, or other activity or conditions that create a public nuisance
upon their vacant properties to continue for extended periods contribute to blight and
neighborhood decline in a much greater manner than a single property owner.
Therefore, owners of multiple properties who fail to maintain their properties and correct
violations, criminal activity ~ or public nuisances on their vacant properties shall be
subject to imposition of higher administrative penalties in order to encourage these
owners to correct violations in a prompt manner.
Subd. 3. Adoption of State Law. Minnesota State Statute 463.251, in its entirety,
and any future amendments to said statute are adopted by reference.
Subd. 4. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of rejecting all bids for Richfield Municipal Center audio/visual information
display components and direct staff to re-bid this ortion of the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Reject all bids and re-bid the Richfield Municipal Center
audio/visual information display components of the project due to
confusion in the bid documents regarding the calculation of sales
taxes.
II. BACKGROUND
On February 17, 2011 the City staff advertised for bids for the audio/visual
information display components for the new Richfield Municipal Center. Bids were
collected and opened at 1 p.m. on March 2, 2011. The bid specifications provided
for audio visual equipment for both the new City Council Chambers and the new
training rooms. Unfortunately, the format of the bid documents left ambiguity with
respect to the sales tax that the City would be required to pay for this type of
equipment and ultimately, the bottom line costs of the submitted bid packages.. In
addition, there was also some confusion with respect to the alternates allowed for
certain pieces. of the requested equipment.
It is staffs recommendation that because of this confusion and subsequent
inaccurate bottom line totals that all bids be rejected and this portion of the project
be re-advertised and re-bid. '
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION

so that the re-bidding process may start immediately.
C. FINANCIAI,
• There is minimal cost to re-bidding this portion of th.e project.

HR COORDINATOR
ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Second reading consideration of amendment to the City Administrative Code Chapter III,
Subsection 310.33 describing vacation leave.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve the second. reading of the proposed ordinance
amendment to the City Administrative Code Chapter III, Subsection
310.33. Subdivision 2, describing vacation leave accrual.
II. BACKGROUND
In an effort to remain competitive with other cifiy governments and the benefits that
they offer and provide non-Union employees benefits already offered to Union
members, a recommendation is being made to amend Section 310.33, Subdivision
2 as follows:
Subd. 2, (f) from the beginning of the twenty-sixth year
and through the twenty-ninth year of
continuous employment each employee shall earn vacation at the rate of 7.08 hours
per biweekly pay period (23 days per year).
(g) from the beginning of.the thirtieth year of continuous employment, throughout
the duration of employment, each employee shall eam vacation at the rate of 7.38
hours per biweekly pay period (24 days per year
Nnr~ T/YZE
03080rd Chg-Vacation Leave 2nd Read
This change would affect employees included in the General Services and
Management Pay Plans who are not represented by a Union. The amendment is
requested so that the City of Richfield's benefit package remains competitive with
those of other Stanton V cities and to balance the benefits of the City's non-union
employees with those represented by collective bargaining agreements.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• The proposed modification to Subsection 310.33, Vacation Leave,
aids in balancing some of the benefits offered to non-union City
employees. In practice, those benefits offered to Union employees
should not exceed the benefits offered to employees not represented
by unions. Of additional consideration is the fact that the majority of
employees represented by collective bargaining agreements are
males while non-union employees are primarily female.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
• The addition of 8 hours of vacation leave for employees with more
than 30 years of service recognizes the contributions of long-time staff
members and is commensurate with similarly situated employees
represented by collective bargaining agreements.
C. FINANCIAL
• Sy amending Section 310.33, Management and General Services
employees with 30 or more years of continuous service would receive
an additional day of vacation leave per year.
• This benefit increase would affect nine Management and General
Services employees.
D. LEGAL
• In order to provide the requested vacation leave accrual rate increase,
the City Couricil must approve an amendment to the City's personnel
ordinance.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~
• Do not amend the ordinance and take no further action.
Defer discussion to another date.
V. ATTACHMENTS
• City Administrative Code change.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution approving the contract with the Police Supervisors LELS Local
162 for the contract period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.
I. RECOMI~~NDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the resolution approving the provisions of the 2011
labor agreement with the Police Supervisors LELS Local 162
bargaining unit and authorize the City Manager to execute the
aareement.
II. BACKGROUND
City staff has completed labor negotiations with the Police Supervisors LELS Local
162 (Union). The provisions of the 2011 labor agreement cover all of the
employees in this Union which consists of 11 positions: 8 Sergeants and 3
Lieutenants.
During the course of negotiations, City staff made the Union aware of the severe
financial constraints the City is facing in 2011 and beyond, and agreed on a two
percent wage adjustment for the entire 2011 contract year.
The tentatively approved one year contract settlement includes the following
significant changes:
0308Police Supervisors 2011_ contract
Wages
A two percent wage increase for contract year 2011.
Health Insurance
A $60 increase to the Employer health insurance contribution which provides full
coverage at the High Option plan for single Employee at $734.10 per month, $915
per month for Employee plus spouse or Employee plus child(ren) coverage and
$965 per month for Employee plus family coverage. For Employees who select the
single tier $2500 High Deductible Health Plan option, the Employer will contribute a
maximum of $250 per month into the Employee's Health Savings Plan.
A $1 increase to the Employer contribution for Employee single dental insurance
coverage, from $37 per month to $38 per month. .
Clothing Allowance
A $25 increase to the annual clothing allowance from $820 to $845.
III. BASIS OF RECOMI~~NDATION
A. POLICY
• 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 non-union City employees.
The City has a long history of providing the same level of insurance
benefits to all eligible City employees. These provisions are also
identical to settlements reached with Police Officers, Dispatchers and
Local 49.
• The two percent wage increase represents the same two percent
wage adjustment implemented for non-union City employees. This is
one of four contract settlements before the Council on March 8, 2011.
The Fire bargaining unit remains unsettled for 2011.
• The two percent wage adjustment and health insurance increase is
comparable to other bargaining groups in similar metro cities. A
survey of Stanton 5 cities indicates that those cities are providing
anywhere from a 1 to 3 percent increase. The City has a long history
of trying to remain as close to the mid-range as possible for Stanton 5
cities, in terms of wages and benefits.
B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• In order to allow the City's accounting personnel to modify payroll
records in a timely manner for 2011 wages and benefits, it is
recommended that the City Council act on March 8, 2011 to adopt the
attached resolution providing for contract changes, effective January
1, 2011.
C. FINANCIAL .
• A maximum $60 increase in Employer monthly contribution towards
health insurance coverage for 2011.
• $1 per month increase in Employer monthly contribution towards
employee single dental insurance in 2011.
• Two percent wage increase for contract year 2011.
• A $25 increase to the clothing allowance for 2011.
D. LEGAL
• If the terms of this agreement are not approved, further negotiation
and/or mediation will be necessary.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
• NA
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~
• Do not approve the terms of this agreement and prepare for further
negotiation and/or mediation.
• Defer discussion to another date.
V. ATTACHMENTS

RESOLUTION APPROVING LABOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF RICHFIELD AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT LABOR SERVICES (EELS), LOCAL 162
BARGAINING UNIT FOR THE YEAR 2011
WHEREAS, the City Manager and the Richfield Police Supervisors EELS Local 162
have reached an understanding concerning conditions of employment for year 2011; and
WHEREAS, it would be inappropriate to penalize EELS Local 162 members who
have negotiated in good faith; and
WHEREAS, the City Ordinance requires that contracts between the City and the
exclusive representative of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit shall be
completed by Council resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby approve
the Labor Agreement between the City of Richfield and EELS Local 162 Bargaining Unit for
year 2011, under the provisions of the Labor Agreement to be implemented, effective
January 1, 2011 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 8th day of March
