    Update on Hennepin County's Nicollet Avenue Cost Share

    City Engineer Joe Powers updated the council on cost-share negotiations with Hennepin County for the Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) reconstruction. The county declined to change its cost-participation policy but re-evaluated project items, cutting the city's share by about $1 million to just under $8.7 million, plus an additional $700,000 in city staff costs. Staff sought council direction to move forward so the county can bid the project in early 2026, warning that delays could raise construction costs and prolong disruption.

    Consider Richfield's Proposed 2026 Legislative Priorities

    The council reviewed and reached consensus on the city's top four proposed 2026 legislative priorities: making 4d(1) affordable housing aid permanent, repealing or modifying a 2024 law restricting rental licensing for group assisted-living facilities, supporting stronger state gun-violence legislation, and reducing local financial obligations for county/state projects. Council also backed two bonding requests: $10 million for the Nicollet Avenue project and $2.5 million for a Richfield-Minneapolis emergency water interconnect. The full priority list will be formally adopted at the December 9, 2025 council meeting.
