    Local Sales Tax Communications Update

    A communications update on the proposed local sales tax (LST) referendum was scheduled for the March 26 work session, where staff was expected to present the 'Our Legacy, Our Future' campaign developed with consultant Rapp Strategies, Inc. The proposed 0.5% sales tax on retail purchases was on track to appear on the November 2024 general election ballot. If approved by voters, proceeds were intended to fund three major projects: a new Wood Lake Nature Center, improvements at Veterans Park Complex, and a Richfield Community Center project.

    Discussion of Impacts from Citywide Speed Limit Reduction on School Bussing Operations

    The city was scheduled to discuss concerns raised by Richfield Public Schools regarding the impact of a planned citywide speed limit reduction on school bus schedules. The school district estimated that lowering local roads to 25 mph could add 3–5 minutes to bus routes, while also reducing 76th/77th Street to 30 mph could add another 10 minutes—potentially forcing changes to school start times. Staff recommended pausing speed limit changes on 76th/77th Street while proceeding with the 25 mph reduction on other local roads, with an implementation target of June 25, 2024.
