Over the next ten years, the cash balance is expected to decrease, largely due to ongoing support of the City’s Scattered
Site Housing Program and increasing operating costs. The Scattered Site Housing Program is expected to need more
City support as funding from Community Development Block Grants decreases.
To improve the EDA’s cash position, the following opportunities are being considered:
Reallocating excess increment received to the EDA budget will provide additional funding of about $30,000
annually.
Utilize available district funds to support the scattered site housing program.
Review payroll cost allocations and payroll documentation procedures for reallocation of TIF related payroll
expenses to the related districts.

TIF Districts: Pre-90 Districts
In the development accounts, $3,893,130 is available to be spent (pooled) anywhere in the City’s project area for TIF eligible
costs.
As of December 31, 2019, estimated pooled resources are available in the following districts:
Elderly Apartments (85-1) - $409,357
42nd Avenue (85-2) - $2,549,625
36th Ave Apartments (86-2) - $9,934
Ryland/East Winnetka/CVS (3-1) - $924,214
In addition to the available cash, these districts have made interfund loans to other TIF Districts totaling $2,225,611. As the
interfund loans are repaid, cash available for pooling will increase.
The below chart illustrates restricted cash, available cash for pooling and interfund receivables, for these districts as a whole,
over the next ten years.

basis, eliminating deficit balances in other TIF Districts.
Other initiates determined by the EDA’s strategic plan
8
TIF Districts: Administrative Fees
Through 2019, administrative fees charged to the combined TIF Districts were about nine percent of TIF revenues
collected. TIF Districts are allowed to charge up to ten percent for allowable administrative costs. Non captured
administrative costs total about $400,000.
Currently, administrative fees being charged to the Districts include professional service billings, county processing fees
and publishing costs. To fully capture administrative costs associated with each district, EDA staff time and other internal
resources used on TIF projects should be charged to the related districts.
Going forward, an annual transfer from the combined TIF Districts of $80,000 to $100,000 could be made to reimburse the
EDA fund for admin costs. To ensure proper reimbursement documentation exists, the City should consider the following
recommendations:
Employee timecards should identify time spent working on TIF Districts or related projects, specifically stating the
TIF District or project.
When deposits are received and planning is started, costs incurred as part of the development process should be
charged to the related TIF District.
The following table summarizes allowable administrative costs for each district and maximum transfers to the EDA over
the next three years:

TIF Districts: Other Key Highlights
o Interfund loans are recorded in most TIF Districts to either cover cash deficits or record costs associated with the
purchase and sale of redevelopment property. See page 40 for a detailed schedule of the projected interfund loan
balances.
o Future Projects – The cash flow analysis has been updated with project activity that has occurred to-date. We have
not included project expenses for the year 2020 and thereafter. Please keep this in mind when reviewing the projected
cash balances.
o City Center District – This district has an interfund loan with an authorized amount of $8 Million. Through 2018,
$2,357,289 of the loan has been used to reimburse other Districts and the EDA for prior year land redevelopment
costs. The City has until 2020 to incur project costs and use the remaining interfund loan. One possible use of the
interfund loan is to pay bond payments related to the 2016A bonds.
We would be pleased to further discuss any of the information contained in this memo or any other concerns that you
would like us to address. We would also like to express our thanks for the courtesy and assistance extended to us by City
staff during the course of our services.

Prior Year Notes:
- Other revenues of $18,170 and transfers in of $89,052 identified as unspent and were returned to the EDA fund in 2012. Revised land sale proceeds of $200,000 were returned to the EDA in 2015.
- $343,322 in project costs for the K-Mart Project were originally paid out of District 86-1, with the intent to be reimbursed once the City Center district was set-up.
A transfer occurred in 2017 to reimburse District 85-1 from the City Center District. Due to the reimbursement, interfund loan interest has been adjusted.
- A transfer of $25,751 will occur in 2017 to correct the 2015 miscoding of tax increment returned to the county. Cash was erroneously paid out of 85-1 instead of 85-2.

Current Year Notes:
- In 2019, the interfund loan from the EDA was reclassified to Districts 85-2 / 86-1.
Prior Year Notes:
- The loan from 3-1 was paid back in 2017 and combined with the loan from the EDA.
- In 2017, it was determined that $2,433,161 in land expense and a related interfund loan, originally recorded in 2008/2009 to districts 3-1 and 4-1
for the purchase of the Bass Lake Road Apartments, was related to parcels located within district 11-1.
The land expense, interfund loan and related interest expense have been reclassified to district 11-1, resulting in a
an increase in the interfund loan of $3,112,558. The formentioned property was sold in 2017, decreasing the interfund loan by the sale proceeds.
This loan will be paid back after the TIF Note is paid in full.

I:\RFA\P&R\Pool and Civic Center Pk Projects\2020\WS Updates\June WS\Q- June Landscaping, Pool and Park Update.docx
Request for Action
June 15, 2020
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Parks & Recreation
By: Susan Rader, Director
Agenda Title
Update on Pool/Civic Center Park/City Hall Landscaping projects by Stantec Engineering (Improvement
Project Nos. 995/941/994)
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council receive an update on the pool, Civic Center Park and city hall landscaping
construction projects. City engineer, Dan Boyum will be in attendance. The last update was provided at the
May 18, 2020 work session.
Policy/Past Practice
Past policy and practice has been to provide the Council with updates on projects and receive input and
feedback.
Background
The city began discussing plans for the pool, Civic Center Park and city hall landscaping in January 2017
when the City Council approved the new police station/city hall being located on the former pool site. In June
2018, an agreement was approved with Stantec to provide engineering and planning services for the pool,
Civic Center Park and city hall landscaping projects. As was recommended, a staff committee and the Mayor
worked with the engineers regarding the final design plans for each of these projects.
On December 10, 2018, the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for
bids. Bids were reviewed with the Council at the March work session and on March 25, 2019 all five contracts
were approved:
Demolition of theater, shelter building, hockey rink and city hall
Pool
Park amenities, parking lots and landscaping for the city hall and park
Theater and picnic shelter
Skatepark
Update
Sunram, the contractor for the green contract, has started placing remaining trees as well as plants around the
City Hall site and parking lot. Rock for the front is expected the first part of July, and final plantings will take
place following the rock installation. They have also installed the final storm sewer piping and structures
around the vortex pool. Irrigation drip lines for plants have been installed. Blow-mulch has been placed
throughout the park area. Sunram’s electrical subcontractor continues to work on light poles, bollards, and
wiring throughout the park areas. Remaining concrete sidewalk along the north side of the city hall parking
lot as well as stand-up curb near the theater area is scheduled to be placed after final fencing is placed by the
pool contractor. The bituminous trail around the park areas is scheduled to be placed the week of June 15.
Agenda Section
Work Session
Item Number
11.2
Request for Action, Page 2
On the performance center and picnic shelter project, the contractor has finished staining and sealing wood,
stonework, concrete stage, and concrete slab at the picnic shelter. Once the stand-up curb is placed by
Sunram, the performance center and picnic shelter contractor will finish sidewalk, topsoil, irrigation, seeding,
and sodding. They are also preparing to complete lighting at the performance center.
At the 50-meter pool, the pool contractor is finishing up grout and tile work and the pool has been filled for
the “curing” time. Sodding and irrigation is also installed in this area. In the bathhouse, the contractor
continues work on the punchlist. A punchlist has also been prepared on the mechanical building, and work
has started on addressing that list. The parking lot by the mechanical building has been paved. The vortex
pool walls have been poured and backfilling was completed. The shallow water area, current channel and
vortex pool were filled for a leak test this past weekend. The test was successful, so the pools were drained to
prepare for the installation of the plaster. Foundations and posts for the south fence area were expected to be
installed the week of June 8, with the chain link fencing installation expected early the week of June 15.
Updates will continue to be provided in the Friday Updates. Construction meetings are held on a weekly
basis via a WebEx meeting and will continue through construction.
Change Orders
There are identified change orders that will be coming forward in the next couple of months for formal
approval. Many of these items have been previously discussed with Council.
Donlar extension:
On March 23, 2020, the Council approved Pool change order no. 7 for the Rainfall and Delay costs of
$34,814.86 and the CenterPoint Utility Delay costs of $18,620.63. The Winter Shelter/Inefficiency costs of
$14,000 will be a line item overage instead of a change order. At the time of negotiations, it was decided to
wait to further discuss the Extended General Conditions costs and time extension. City and engineering staff
are meeting with Donlar on June 11 to review this item as well as other project startup/shut-down operations.
The total cost would not exceed $44,000.
Hose Bibs:
The plans showed a hose bib in the men’s and women’s shower. The type of hose bib was not labelled, and
the contractor assumed a standard hose bib when bidding the project. The intent was to place a hot and cold
hose bib in that location, and the contractor wants to be paid for the difference in price between the standard
hose bib and hot and cold hose bib. The architect and contractor are continuing discussions on this item.
Soil Correction Additions:
At the January work session, the city engineer updated the Council on the overages for soil c orrections on the
pool project that could be close to $260,000. To date, an additional $234,000 has been spent on removal of
poor soils and importing of needed sand. This will be a line item overage on quantities instead of a change
order.
Donlar Letter (May 5, 2020):
Donlar received a letter from their subcontractor related to extra costs for trench stabilization on piping
placed this spring. They continue their discussions with their subcontractor on this item. They do not
Request for Action, Page 3
consider their letter a claim at this time, but they forwarded and retain their rights to submit a claim at a later
date.
Incentives:
Incentives are still included in overall project budgeting for the Performance Center/Picnic Shelter, the Pool,
and the Green Contract (City Hall Landscaping, Parking Lots, Trails, and Park Amenities). As previously
mentioned, staff will be discussing incentives with the pool contractor on June 11. Since no work session is
scheduled for July, staff would like to discuss project incentives with the Council at the June 15, 2020 Work
Session.
And as mentioned previously, additional charges may be seen from Sunram for the park amenities,
landscaping, and parking lots contract because of their delay at the new city hall site due to restricted access
from the city hall contractor.
Additional Information
As projects are getting closer to completion, there are various inspections that are taking place.
Intermediate Inspection Notices and Defective Work:
Once a contractor indicates they are completed with their project, a punchlist is created. Punchlists have been
prepared for the bathhouse and mechanical buildings at this time. However, there are some parts of the
project where contractors have been provided Intermediate Inspection Notices as well as correspondence on
Defective Work prior to a punchlist being prepared. The Intermediate Inspection Notices and Defective Work
list items that need to be resolved prior to preparation of a punchlist.
At this time, an Intermediate Inspection Notice has been prepared on the green contract related to trees and
plantings. Some trees planted last fall did not survive the winter. These trees have been identified for
replacement. Also, there are plants and trees that are stressed and need water. These are being monitored and
many will need replacement before a final punchlist is prepared.
Also portions of the sidewalk placed last fall at the police entrance have been identified as defective based on
the discoloration as well as workmanship. Correspondence from the City Attorney and Engineer has been
sent to the Sunram related to repairing or replacing the defective sidewalk. The contractor is proposing a
repair at this time; however additional items need to be submitted and reviewed related to a repair. If the
repair will not meet durability requirements or address discoloration, then those portions of the sidewalk will
need to be removed and replaced.
On the pool project, Donlar is addressing sod, east of the mechanical building, that has not survived the
recent warmer temperatures. The sod will need to be replaced or restored with blow-mulch.
Schedule
Key dates include:
June-July Pool work: add tile and plaster finish to vortex and current channel; install
permanent fence along south end of site; continue irrigation, sod and plantings;

Request for Action
June 15, 2020
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Police
By: Tim Fournier, Director of Police
Agenda Title
Dialogue between police department and Council regarding police policies.
Requested Action
The City Council has requested to meet with the police chief for an exchange of information regarding police
department policies, procedures, and training-specifically those related to use of force and officer accountability.
Policy/Past Practice
The Council often calls on City department heads for updates and information related to policies and
procedures.
Background
In the wake of George Floyd’s in custody death in Minneapolis, police department use of force policies,
training, and related procedures are being reexamined nationwide for any proactive changes necessary to
improve delivery of service, accountability, and transparency.
The New Hope Police Department has a history of proactive policy development, up-to-date training
procedures, and officer accountability measures that continuously pass Minnesota Police Officer Standards
and Training (POST) licensing yearly audits.
The police chief and members of his training staff will be on hand to provide information on these important
issues.

NEW HOPE POLICE MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the New Hope Police Department is to provide quality professional services to
all residents, organizations, and visitors by ensuring a safe and secure urban environment.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-1.002
NEW HOPE POLICE VISION STATEMENT
The New Hope Police Department serves the employees, residents, and larger community of
New Hope by:
• Making a commitment to excellence through responsible and accountable service
delivery. We respond to community needs with sensitivity, understanding, and
thorough actions.
• Exemplifying professionalism through fair, equitable, and impartial services to the
diverse community we serve. The principles of honesty and integrity are the
cornerstones which guide us.
• Utilizing teamwork and open communication to cooperatively respond to community
needs. We embrace innovative ideas and encourage creativity.
• Building cooperative partnerships with the community. We recognize the need for, and
benefits of, an interdependent relationship.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-1.003
COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING
Purpose
To establish the guiding principles and operational standards the New Hope Police
Department will follow in delivering services to the community we serve.
Principles
Though the longstanding principle for law enforcement, “To Protect and To Serve,”
remains valid, the reality imposed on both citizens and law enforcement by our
complicated society requires a different focus. Individual citizens, small businesses, and
corporations must embrace their responsibility to reduce crime. Law enforcement’s
responsibility is two-fold. First, law enforcement must continue to provide the services
traditionally expected of us—the protection of life and property, the investigation of
crimes and the apprehension of the persons committing those crimes, general assistance,
and traffic safety. Second, law enforcement must spend the requisite amount of time
communicating and building partnerships with all segments of the community in an
effort to limit the amount of crime to the lowest possible level, to provide the necessary
tools for the community to actively participate in discouraging crime, and improve the
general quality of life for everyone.
Community policing is a proactive approach to crime fighting in contrast to the
historical reactive response practices of law enforcement. Community policing increases
the number of tools, methods, and alternatives available for law enforcement service
delivery by emphasizing close partnerships and working with citizens to prevent crime
and provide a safe community.
The New Hope Police Department embraces these principles by working on permanent
solutions to community problems instead of relying on short-term interventions. The
emphasis for all police department employees is achieving resolution of problems for
the longest term possible. The goal of each contact is providing quality service that is
achieved through empathy and a thorough understanding of the customer’s needs, the
sharing of relevant information, and a shared understanding of the resolution.
Practices
The very nature of law enforcement requires officers and other police department
employees to make decisions and carry out actions that do not always satisfy the
customer’s desires, but do achieve a satisfactory solution when applying the law and
community standards. This policy does not hinder the application of the law; rather, it
encourages officers and other police department members to embrace the participation
of the community as partners in addressing crime and the factors that contribute to
crime.
Officers and other police department members must keep in mind the following
principles and practices as they fulfill their responsibilities to the community:
• All customers deserve professional and complete service.
• The New Hope Police Department must sell itself through our actions,
communication, and decisions that we make every day.
• It is the responsibility of every member of the New Hope Police Department to
actively engage customers and the community at large.
• The principles of the SARA Model (Scanning, Analysis, Response, Assessment)
provide a foundation for addressing community issues.
• For each and every problem, there are underlying factors contributing to it. It is
our responsibility to identify and analyze these factors followed by a response
that best addresses the problem and the factors contributing to it.
• Successful problem resolution is achieved through persistence and creativity.
Officers and other police department personnel are encouraged to bring multiple
resources of the department and city together to address problems. Successful
resolution includes a review of the outcomes, making certain the problem is
resolved and either does not require any more immediate services or requires
other support services for a specified period of time.
• Communication is our most powerful tool. Isolation is our greatest weakness.
Spend all the time required to share information, communicate ideas, improve
understanding, and collaborate with our customers.
• We are educators and students. We can improve safety and reduce crime
through the sharing of information, ideas, and time with the community.
Listening to citizens teaches us about the needs and desires of the community, as
well as the solutions that benefit them best.
• Creativity is encouraged.
Programs
The primary goal for every police department employee is providing high quality
community oriented services as a natural part of the way we do business. The New
Hope Police Department has selected programs designed to reach out to the community
and communicate specific messages that support our Community Oriented Policing
efforts. These programs are continually evaluated for their effectiveness and are subject
to elimination or change when the needs of the New Hope Police Department and the
community would be better served.
The responsibility for these programs belongs to the Community Services section of the
New Hope Police Department. The staff assigned to this unit are responsible for the
organization and delivery of these programs. However, it is the responsibility of all
officers and other members of the New Hope Police Department to actively support
these programs through their direct participation as needed. Patrol officers,
investigators, clerical staff, and command staff must contribute to these programs to
ensure their successes.
Some of the New Hope Police Department programs supporting Community Oriented
Policing are:
• D.A.R.E. – Drug Abuse Resistance Education
• C.F.M.H. – Crime Free Multi-Housing
• General crime prevention and C.P.T.E.D. – Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design
• Neighborhood Watch
• National Night Out/Night to Unite
• Citizens Police Academy
• Mall walks
• Safety Camps – regular and half-pint
• Bicycle Safety Rodeo
• Child safety restraint education, checks, and clinics
• Violence prevention initiatives
• Kids, Cops, and Firefighters
• We Care About Kids
• Multiple safety and informational presentations
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-2.001
AUTHORIZED USE OF FORCE
Purpose
To ensure the safety of all concerned parties in subduing and apprehending persons suspected
of crimes and mentally ill persons.
Procedure
Officers shall not use more force than is reasonably necessary under the circumstances. Officers
shall use force in accordance with the law and department procedure.
An officer is authorized to use reasonable force upon or toward the person of another without
the other's consent when the following circumstances exist or the officer believes them to exist:
• In effecting a lawful arrest.
• In execution of legal process.
• In enforcing an order of the court.
• When used to restrain a mentally ill or mentally defective person from self-injury
or injury to another.
• In executing any other duty imposed upon the officer by law.
Whenever a police officer determines that it is necessary to use force to achieve a legal objective,
it shall be incumbent upon that officer to use no more force than is necessary. However,
nothing in this policy shall be interpreted to mean that an officer is required to engage in
prolonged hand-to-hand combat or struggle rather than resort to the method which will most
quickly and safely bring the subject under control.
The two types of force used by police officers are non-deadly and deadly force. State statute
and department policy require any use of force to be reasonable and necessary. What is
reasonable and necessary will be determined by the unique circumstances of each situation.
Circumstances to be considered are included, but not limited to:
• Nature of the offense.
• Behavior of suspect toward the police and members of the public.
• Past history of crime and/or violence, if known.
• Number and actions of others present.
• Number of officers present.
• Physical conditions.
• Feasibility or availability of alternative actions.
• Officer - subject factors including, but not limited to, size, special skills, age, and
gender.
• Proximity to firearm.
• Officer injuries.
• Fatigue.
• Ground position: Under normal conditions, these are the only methods approved
for the size, special skills, age, and gender.
• Other approved non-lethal weapons.
The use of the flashlight or any other items are permitted when other approved weapons are
unavailable or due to the circumstances of the incident; i.e., suddenness, etc. Flashlights or any
other items used as a weapon are restricted to the use as outlined for impact weapons.
Anytime an officer uses force upon another, the officer must submit an Offense Report to the
department describing the circumstances and necessity of the use of force, what method of force
was used, and the type of first aid and/or medical attention administered.
Anytime a person complains of, or sustains an injury as a result of, the use of force, first aid
shall be administered and further medical attention shall be sought. A supervisor will be
immediately notified of the incident and shall also submit a report to the chief of police
concerning the incident.
AEROSOL SUBJECT RESTRAINTS
See Policy 4-2.002
BATONS, NIGHTSTICKS, PR-24s, EXPANDABLE BATONS, AND OTHER DEPARTMENT
APPROVED IMPACT WEAPONS
Conditions for Use
• Defensive maneuvers, come-alongs, and restraint devices may be used at the police
officer’s discretion.
• Blows struck with the above impact weapons are prohibited except:
• to protect the police officer or another from an assault.
• to effect an arrest when resistance is encountered that is likely to result in
personal injury to the police officer or the person being arrested, or when
resistance cannot be overcome without extensive force.
• to subdue persons who have threatened to do bodily harm to themselves or
others, or whose actions are creating hazards to themselves or others when
other means of control have failed or are impractical.
• in appropriate crowd control situations, to direct and control the movement
of people or persons, or as a barricade.
Prohibitions
The aforementioned impact weapons will not be used:
• to subdue a person already effectively taken into custody.
• to punish anyone being uncooperative, noisy, or disruptive.
• as a come-along or choke hold that in any way jeopardizes the integrity of the
windpipe, unless the officer is authorized to use deadly force.
Procedures for Use
• The primary uses of these methods are to ward off blows or kicks from the
assailant, or to restrain resisting or disturbed subjects, or to effect an arrest
when resistance is encountered for the purpose of rendering the person
temporarily incapacitated.
• Blows delivered with these weapons should be targeted only to those
vulnerable areas of the body which will render the subject temporarily
incapacitated, but will not cause serious bodily harm.
The following areas should not be targeted, as blows may cause serious injury or death:
• head
• neck
• groin
• throat
• chest cavity (except those strikes to the shoulder/pectoral tie-in, as instructed)
• armpit
• colon
The following areas are non-lethal front target areas:
• arms
• legs
• hands
• shins
• abdomen
• shoulder/pectoral tie-in
The following areas are non-lethal rear target areas:
• arms
• thighs
• calves
• ankles
• Achilles’ tendon
Anytime one of the above impact weapons is used against someone, the officer shall
document it, describing the circumstances and necessity of the use of this weapon.
All officers shall be properly trained in the use of the approved impact weapon they
carry as determined by the chief of police.
DEADLY FORCE
Deadly force is defined as “force which the actor uses with the purpose of causing, or
which the actor should reasonably know creates, a substantial risk of causing death or
great bodily harm. The intentional discharge of a firearm in the direction of another
person, or at a vehicle in which another person is believed to be, constitutes deadly
force.”
It is the policy of this department that members exhaust all other reasonable means of
apprehension and control before resorting to the use of firearms. It is also the policy of
this department that members shall not unnecessarily or unreasonably endanger
themselves in applying the firearms regulations to actual situations.
The use of deadly force is justified ONLY WHEN NECESSARY:
• to protect the peace officer or another from apparent death or great bodily
harm.
• to effect the arrest or capture, or prevent the escape of, a person whom the
peace officer knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, has committed or
attempted to commit a felony involving the use or threatened use of deadly
force.
• to effect the arrest or capture, or prevent the escape of, a person whom the
officer knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, has committed or
attempted to commit a felony if the officer reasonably believes that the
person will cause death or great bodily harm if the apprehension of the
person is delayed.
The use of deadly force will normally consist of an officer utilizing a firearm (see
firearms policy). The use of a squad car for ramming (see pursuit policy) may also
constitute deadly force, along with the use or misuse of other weapons. An Offense
Report and any other required reports will be completed when deadly force is used. The
chief of police is to be notified as soon as possible whenever deadly force is used.
The use of any force greater than an escort hold will be documented on a Use of Force
Report form, as well as in the Offense Report. The Use of Force Reports will be kept in a
separate file. The completion of the Use of Force Report will be documented on the
coversheet of the Offense Report in the “Additional Paperwork” area.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-2.002
AEROSOL SUBJECT RESTRAINTS
Purpose
To establish guidelines for the conditions under which aerosol subject restraints may be used
against another person.
Definitions
An aerosol subject restraint, for the purpose of this policy, is defined as an aerosol containing
Oleoresin Capsicum and/or other approved chemical reagent.
Procedure
Aerosol subject restraints may be used in the following situations where verbal commands have
not worked and the officer believes that the use of soft, empty hand or other techniques will not
work or would present a possible danger to the officer, subject, or others.
• In the defense of self or another from assault.
• To effect an arrest.
• To subdue a person who has threatened to do bodily harm to another or self.
Use
Unless specified in the directions of a particular aerosol subject restraint, or if it is not feasible
due to extenuating circumstances that must be documented, aerosol subject restraints should be
used in the following manner:
• The aerosol should be sprayed in the face, targeting the nose and mouth. The eyes may
be targeted, but it should be less than three feet, as there is a possibility of injury when
spraying closer than that.
• Officers should attempt to spray in one-second bursts.
• Extreme caution should be used when dealing with a violent suspect, as aerosol subject
restraints are not 100% effective and may not take effect for several minutes. Have other
means available, if feasible, to deal with any escalation of the situation by the subject.
• Routinely shake your spray container as the ingredients may settle.
• Routinely check to make sure that the spray nozzle is free from obstruction.
• Aerosol subject restraints should not be used on small children, physically incapable
people, or prisoners who are already restrained.
• Aerosol subject restraints that have alcohol as an ingredient should not be used near a
flame or electrical device.
Decontamination
After the subject on whom the aerosol subject restraint has been used is subdued, so that person
can be controlled, then the individual shall be given the opportunity to flush the affected areas
with water. If necessary, the individual will be provided with medical treatment.
Prohibitions
Aerosol subject restraints should not be used to:
• subdue a person already effectively taken into custody.
• punish anyone for being uncooperative, noisy, or disruptive.
Report
• Officers will describe every use of an aerosol subject restraint in a police report,
including use on animals.
• This report should document the circumstances and reasons for the use of the aerosol.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-2.003
HANDCUFFS
Purpose
Establish guidelines as to when restraining devices will be used.
Procedure
If feasible, all prisoners who are placed in custody under arrest for a felony, or probable cause
to believe a felony has been committed, will be placed in handcuffs until in custodial control of
a jailer. The cuffs will be behind the back of the prisoner (unless physically unable). Exception:
elderly persons, nonviolent crimes, and children, if safety is not a factor.
In misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor arrests, the handcuffing of a prisoner is left to the
discretion of the officer. However, it must be clearly understood that the officer is responsible
for their own safety and the safety of the prisoner until released to the jailer. Therefore,
handcuffing of all prisoners is strongly recommended.
If feasible, the tightness of the handcuffs should be adjusted and double locked. It is realized
that this may not be possible if the subject is still combative.
At no time will the prisoner be handcuffed to any portion of the transporting vehicle while the
vehicle is in motion.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-2.004
LESS LETHAL WEAPONS
Purpose
To set standards for the training and use of less lethal impact devices.
Policy
The police department recognizes that combative, non-compliant, armed, and/or violent
subjects cause handling and control problems that require special training and
equipment. Less lethal weapons are designed to bring dangerous situations to a
conclusion with a reduced chance of fatal injury to everyone involved. Less lethal
weapons are designed to supplement, not replace, lethal weapons. In a lethal force
situation, only backup officers should deploy them.
Definitions
Less Lethal Force Philosophy: A concept of planning and force application, which
meets operational objectives, with less potential for
causing death or serious physical injury than
conventional police tactics.
Kinetic Energy Impact Flexible and non-flexible projectiles which are intended
Projectiles: to incapacitate a subject with minimal potential for
causing death or serious intended physical injury when
compared to conventional projectiles. General use of
these munitions is not considered use of deadly force
as defined in MSS 609.066.
Safety Priorities: Safety priorities include the following:
Hostages and involved non-subject civilians
Police officers
Subject
Subject: The focus of the police operation.
Force Continuum: The New Hope Police Department places the use of
less lethal projectiles above an impact weapon, but
below deadly force. The use of kinetic energy
projectiles is considered less lethal force when
deployed to areas of the suspect’s body that are
considered unlikely to cause death or serious physical
injury. However, kinetic energy impact projectiles are
considered deadly force if intentionally deployed to
the head or neck.
Target Areas: Green Target Areas – Those that present a minimal
level of resulting trauma. Targets include the lower
legs below the knee joints, upper thighs, lower
abdomen, forearms, shoulders, upper arms, shoulder
blades, buttocks, calves, and Achilles’ tendon.
Yellow Target Areas – Those where there is a
likelihood of a moderate to serious level of injury.
These include the elbow joints, knee joints, upper
abdomen, groin, collarbone, and rib cage.
Red Target Areas – Those that have a great likelihood
of causing death or serious bodily harm. These include
the head and neck areas, solar plexus, kidney, and
spine. These should only be targeted when deadly
force is justified.
Flexible Baton: The authorized 12 gauge less lethal rounds are
manufactured by Defense Technology. These rounds
are referred to as the flexible baton 12 gauge sock
rounds. The standard sock round is a 2¾” clear plastic
12 gauge cartridge containing a sock-like projectile
filled with approximately 40 grams of lead shot. The
standard bag exits the barrel at approximately 300 feet
per second and delivers approximately 120
feet/pounds of kinetic energy.
Non-flexible Baton – 37mm: The authorized 37mm less lethal rounds are
manufactured by SAGE Control Ordinance and is the
KO1 baton round. This round contains a non-flexible
polyurethane projectile weighing 77.5 grams. The
standard KO1 round has a velocity and energy of 240
feet per second and 154 feet/pounds of energy.
Procedures and Technical Aspects:
Less-Lethal Extended Range Impact Devices
There are many projectiles considered “less lethal.” The projectiles authorized by the
New Hope Police Department are the following:
flexible baton 12 gauge
non-flexible baton 37mm
Deployment Areas
The less lethal projectiles will be delivered to subject areas based on the
circumstances, the established safety priorities, and the level of force authorized.
Less lethal projectiles should be directed at the area with the lowest risk of death
or serious physical injury, if the situation allows.
Officers are authorized to consider target areas with a greater risk of injury if the
use of force is justified based on the circumstances, and efforts to subdue the
suspect using the lower risk areas are ineffective, inappropriate, or too
dangerous.
Intentional impacts to the red target areas will be avoided unless the use of
deadly force is justified.
Deployment Techniques – 12 Gauge Sock Round
The New Hope Police Department will have a dedicated system of authorized
shotguns using only less lethal ammunition.
The range at which the projectiles are used is determined by the totality of
circumstances.
Only backup officers shall carry and deploy less lethal shotguns.
Department approved dedicated shotguns will be carried with less lethal
ammunition in the magazine.
Once loaded, the shotgun shall have a piece of tape wrapped around it with the
date the weapon was checked and the officer’s initials legibly written.
The deploying officer shall announce to all other officers on the scene that they
are deploying a less lethal weapon. A radio call acknowledgment shall be
completed when the circumstances allow.
The officers will, whenever possible, inform other officers on the scene when less
lethal munitions will be fired at the subject.
Only under unique circumstances should less lethal ammunition be used in cases
involving subjects with firearms.
Only trained officers will deploy the rounds.
Deployment Techniques – 37mm
Only trained SWAT officers will deploy the 37mm less lethal rounds.
Medical Evaluation
Subjects struck by less lethal projectiles shall be given appropriate medical treatment on
the scene and then transported to a medical facility for examination.
Notification
The on-call command person shall be notified whenever less lethal munitions are used
on a subject.
Investigation
The use of less lethal force shall be documented in a report.
An investigation shall be conducted for all incidents involving the firing of a less
lethal round, including review of incident and policy compliance.
An Administrative Report shall be submitted to the chief of police containing all
pertinent facts in the case.
In the event of a fatality, the investigation shall be conducted consistent with
New Hope Policy 4-3.004.
Evidence
The expended sock round and shell casing, along with other pertinent evidence, shall be
collected and placed into evidence. Photographs of the impact location(s) shall be taken,
if feasible to do so. Same sex officers or medical staff should take these photos, when
appropriate, due to the location of the sock round’s impact.
Training
Training in the use of extended range, kinetic energy impact projectiles will consist of
the approved department end-user program and annual training.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police

USE OF THE ADVANCED TASER
Purpose
To establish guidelines for the use and training of the Advanced Taser.
Definition
The Advanced Taser is a hand-held, laser aimed, battery operated unit. Voltage is delivered
to a subject from direct contact or from two darts discharged from a cartridge connected to
the unit by conductive wires. It delivers a low amperage/high voltage electrical charge that
affects the neuromuscular system, resulting in temporary involuntary muscle contractions.
The contractions should incapacitate subjects so they can be placed under control by law
enforcement.
The Advanced Taser is a less lethal/minimum impact weapon likely to have less lasting
effects than chemical weapons, closed hand, or impact weapon tactics. The M-26 and
X-26 Taser models are approved for use by trained department personnel.
Application
The Advanced Taser is not a replacement for the firearm and shall not be used
without firearm backup in those incidents where there is a threat of deadly force
directed toward others.
The Advanced Taser may be used in situations where less than deadly force or deadly
force is justified.
The Advanced Taser can be fired at a subject up to a maximum of 21 feet away. The
most effective range is 15 to 18 feet.
When utilizing the Advanced Taser, officers shall make every effort to avoid dart
placement in the soft tissue areas of the body such as the face, eyes, neck, and
genitals. Optimal target areas are the upper torso and large muscle groups.
The Advanced Taser may be used by direct contact as a “stun device” when involved
in a physical confrontation.
Uniformed officers issued an X-26 or M-26 Taser will be required to carry it on their
duty belt. Officers may use the X-26 or M-26 Taser at other city related work
assignments approved by the chief of police.
Safety Considerations
The deploying officer(s) shall announce to all other officers on the scene that they are
deploying the Advanced Taser.
The officer will, whenever possible, inform other officers on the scene when the
Advanced Taser will be fired at the subject.
Officers will attempt restraint and control of the subject as soon as possible.
Used darts are considered biohazards and must be handled appropriately. This
includes wearing protective gloves and using appropriate evidence containers.
Medical Evaluation
The officer must provide medical evaluation and offer medical treatment to all
subjects struck by an Advanced Taser.
Officers must not overlook injuries that may have occurred from the subject falling
from a standing position.
Officers may remove darts that have not penetrated soft tissue areas and which can be
safely removed without causing further injury.
Darts that may have penetrated soft tissue areas (as described above) must be
removed by medical personnel.
Restricted Use
The Advanced Taser shall not be used:
on a passive or compliant subject whose behavior is non-threatening to themselves or
others.
on restrained subjects unless other techniques to gain control are not effective and a
substantial physical struggle is likely to result in injury to the subject, officers, or
others.
when the presence of flammable fumes, liquids, or gases are known or likely.
on women known to be pregnant unless all other means available, short of deadly
force, have been used.
on known minors or the elderly unless their actions present the immediate threat of
death or great bodily harm, or a substantial physical struggle is likely to result in
injury to the subject, officer, or others.
Investigation
Photographs of the impact locations shall be taken, if feasible to do so. Same sex
officers or medical staff should take these photos, when appropriate, due to the
location of the dart’s impact.
Officers are required to fully document the use of the Advanced Taser and its results
in a narrative report. This shall include the time the Advanced Taser was used and
the time the photographs were taken.
The photographs shall be submitted with the narrative.
The Advanced Taser shall be turned over to a supervisor as soon as practical so the
data from the Advanced Taser’s use can be downloaded and saved. This information
will be placed with the report file.
Training
Officers shall receive training from a certified Advanced Taser instructor.
Officers shall re-train with the Advanced Taser annually.
Notification
The on-call command person shall be notified whenever use of the Advanced Taser results in
significant or unusual injuries.
Evidence
The expended cartridge and darts, along with other pertinent evidence, shall be collected and
placed into evidence.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-3.001
FIREARMS
Purpose
To establish rules governing the manner and use of firearms.
Procedure
Officers are equipped with firearms to defend themselves or others against deadly force or the
threat of imminent deadly force. However, when firearms are used by an officer, it must be
with the realization that the death of some person may occur. Justification for the use of an
officer's firearm is limited to the facts known to the officer or perceived by the officer at the time
they decide to fire their weapon. Facts unknown to the officer cannot be considered in later
determining justification of the shooting.
The law authorizes officers to use deadly force when it appears necessary to protect themselves
or others from what reasonably appears as an immediate threat of great bodily harm which
could conceivably result in death.
AUTHORIZED FIREARMS
Firearms and ammunition that meet agency authorized specifications, approved by the chief of
police and issued by the department, may be used by officers in their official duties as law
enforcement officers.
Duty firearms shall be inspected by a trained firearms instructor. Records and dates of these
inspections shall be maintained by the training division.
No duty firearm shall be carried by a member of the New Hope Police Department who has not
qualified with that style of weapon at an authorized department training and/or qualification.
Duty Firearms
The authorized department handgun is the Glock 9mm and, until the transition is complete, any
firearm with which the officer has previously qualified in the use of within department
standards.
The authorized department long gun is an AR-15 rifle.
The authorized department less lethal long gun is a shotgun style weapon.
1. A secondary or backup firearm may be used as a primary duty weapon in special
circumstances, to include special “non patrol officer assignments.” This is subject to
approval by the chief of police based on the nature of the assignment.
2 A secondary or backup handgun may be worn at the uniformed officer’s discretion if the
officer has qualified with that style of handgun. The handgun must be approved by the
chief of police.
3. Officers may carry their personal AR-15 style long gun with written approval from the
chief of police. They must show proficiency with this weapon and qualify with it at
authorized department training.
4. All patrol officers who have been issued a department firearm (Glock 9mm) are required
to carry three spare magazines. Officers who have not received department issued Glock
9mms are required to have two spare magazines. This is in addition to the magazine
already in their guns. All ammunition used in the department issued firearm will be
supplied by the department.
5. Plainclothes, non-field, and supervisory personnel may carry additional magazines as
authorized and consistent with the needs of their assignment.
• The authorized duty holster is the issued patrol/duty holster and shall not be altered.
• Specialty assignments and plainclothes officers are authorized to carry an approved
holster of their choosing based on function of their assignment.
• Officers not in uniform, whether on or off duty, shall carry their handguns in a
concealed manner when possible.
• Officers using a concealable holster, due to their assignment, need to train with the
concealable holster during their scheduled department training.
• No firearms shall be left unattended by an officer in a common area on or off duty.
• All department firearms shall be listed with the department by make, model, and serial
number.
Authorized Off Duty Firearms
Officers may carry, but are not required to carry, the department issued handgun or the
handgun which they are currently qualified while off duty. However, if an officer elects to
carry the department issued handgun off duty, by authority vested to police officers per State
Statute 624.714, the handgun shall be used in compliance with this section. If an officer chooses
to carry an authorized off duty weapon they shall adhere to the following.
Licensed officers who choose to carry a firearm while off duty, based on their authority as a
peace officer, will be required to meet the following guidelines:
• The firearm shall be from a major gun manufacturing company.
• The purchase of the weapon shall be the responsibility of the officer.
• The firearm shall be carried concealed at all times and in a manner as not to be alarming
in nature or to the public, and in a way that prevents the unintentional cocking,
discharge, or loss of physical control.
• A firearms instructor shall ensure that the officer is proficient in handling and firing an
off duty weapon and that it be carried in a safe manner.
• The firearm shall be subject to the inspection of a firearms officer and/or supervisor.
• Officers must meet off duty qualification requirements with a semi-automatic handgun
in order to be allowed to carry a semi-automatic style handgun while off duty.
• Officers must meet off duty qualification requirements with a revolver style handgun in
order to be allowed to carry a revolver style handgun while off duty.
• Officers who carry firearms off duty shall also carry or have proper identification with
them showing that they are a licensed peace officer with the state of Minnesota and or
the city of New Hope.
• Newly hired officers with the New Hope Police Department must also successfully
complete and pass their field training orientation phase prior to be allowed
authorization to carry an off duty weapon.
• Any officer who elects not to carry a handgun while off duty shall not be subjected to
discipline action if an occasion should arise in which police action could have been taken
had the officer been armed.
Removal of Duty Firearm from Holster
The following are reasons why a police officer may remove their duty weapon from their
holster:
• For repair, inspection, cleaning, training, or at an authorized range for firearms training.
• For safekeeping in a locked locker or storage container when entering a jail area.
• For transition and transportation from on duty status to off duty status.
• When necessary for the performance of official police duties during day-to-day
operations.
Discharge of Firearm
Officers shall only discharge firearms in accordance to Minnesota State Law and within New
Hope Police Department policies. Warning shots are prohibited.
An officer is justified in firing at or from a moving vehicle when the provisions of the deadly
force statute are met. In addition, the following factors are to be weighed in firing at or from a
moving vehicle:
• ricochets
• danger from a vehicle out of control
• danger of an accident at a high speed
• safety of innocent bystanders or hostages
Duty Firearm Storage
Duty handguns are to be stored and controlled in a secure area when not in use by the officer.
No firearms in the officers’ control should be left unattended or out in the open in common
areas by any officer. Officers are required to keep their duty/department weapon and duty belt
with them, locked in an assigned locker or in a secure storage area within their office.
Patrol rifles will be secured in assigned squads and/or secure storage areas within the police
department.
Duty Firearm Carrying
Firearms shall be secured in storage lockers before entering the jail area. It is the responsibility
of New Hope police officers to ensure officers from other agencies do not enter the jail area with
a firearm.
MAINTENANCE OF HANDGUNS
It is the primary responsibility of the officer to keep their department or personally owned duty
handgun clean and in full working order. The primary responsibility for the cleaning and
maintenance of patrol rifles and less lethal shotguns shall fall on firearms instructors.
Patrol officers shall be responsible for promptly reporting any damage or malfunction of any
duty weapon, handgun, or long gun to a supervisor or firearms instructor.
Any duty weapon found to be non-serviceable shall be clearly identified and tagged as non-
serviceable, including details in regard to the condition and who tagged the weapon. The
weapon will then be placed in a secure safe.
If a duty handgun is personally owned, the cost to clean, repair, or replace that weapon is the
responsibility of the officer owning the weapon. If available, a department owned handgun
may be used as a temporary replacement if a personally owned handgun is out of service.
Patrol officers shall be responsible to show any duty or off duty weapon, upon request, for
inspection to a supervisor or firearms instructor.
Any weapon that is determined to be unserviceable shall remain out of service and not be
carried until a supervisor or firearms instructor has inspected it and placed it back in service.
MAINTENANCE OF AMMUNITION
All ammunition carried by officers in any capacity must be exchanged every calendar year so
that no ammunition is more than 12 months old. The department will exchange all ammunition
on an annual basis. All ammunition must be maintained free of corrosion and coating by other
foreign substances. Ammunition should be carried in such a manner that it is not susceptible to
any contamination. Officers must ensure that their ammunition is not affected by any type of
penetrating oil or any other chemical which would render the ammunition partially or fully
ineffective. Officers should regularly check their ammunition to ensure its serviceability. It
should be noted that, generally, range officers will approve ammunition to be carried only by
specific type and not inspect each individual round for defects. However, all ammunition can
be subject to inspection by supervisors or firearms instructors.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-3.002
FIREARMS/WEAPONS TRAINING
Purpose
To ensure that each member of the New Hope Police Department, whose duty requires the use
or possession of a firearm, is thoroughly trained, familiar, and proficient in the use of firearms.
Scope
The scope of this program may include, but is not limited to:
• scheduled qualifications supervised by a range officer.
• identifying officers not able to meet department standards.
• training and qualification with weapons selected as duty weapons.
• training and qualification with weapons selected as off duty weapons.
Method
• All officers are required to participate in the program.
• Scheduled training days are set up at the beginning of each year as part of the patrol
work schedule. Officers are expected to attend their on duty training day and may
switch days only under approval of the training sergeant.
• The purpose of the training and practice portion of the program is to familiarize officers
with the proper handling of their weapons, as well as the conduct and use of the range
for qualification.
• The course may be fired indoors or outdoors.
• The course of fire and scoring will be determined by the range officer and approved by
the chief of police.
• All personnel scoring less than the required number of hits will be required to
participate in training sessions with the range officer.
• The weapon used by the officer during the qualification portion will be the only weapon
authorized to be used as an on duty weapon.
• Off duty weapons carried by officers must be approved by the range officer and the
officer must attend annual off duty course of fire training.
• All weapons fired by an officer for the purpose of training will be inspected and
approved by the department range master. The weapon is to be inspected to ensure
compliance with existing department rules or policies, as well as mechanical soundness.
These weapons will be registered with the department range master as the selected duty
weapon of the individual officer and will be the same weapon fired during the
qualification.
• A range officer may alter the weapon or course used for practice by individual officers
if, in the range officer's opinion, it will enhance the officer's training.
• Exceptions will also be made for the repair of the weapon if the officer receives
permission for the weapon repair and is able to provide and show proficiency with a
replacement weapon.
• The shift supervisor may authorize change (under the guidelines of department
weapons) in cases of emergency where time does not allow the replacement weapon to
be inspected by the range officer or allow the individual officer to show the required
qualification. In all cases of this nature, the shift supervisor is responsible to see that the
weapon is inspected, approved, and proficiency is reached prior to the officer carrying
or training with the weapon for extended periods of time. A report of this type of
incident will be made to the range officer immediately by the shift supervisor.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-4.006
OPERATION OF ARMORED RESCUE VEHICLE (MRAP)
Purpose
To define use and application of the police department’s armored tactical vehicle (ARV)
(MRAP) used during tactical operation and special emergencies.
Procedure
It is the intent of the New Hope Police Department to have tactical vehicle(s) for tactical
operations or special emergencies and this document is intended to establish the general
operating and training procedures for tactical vehicle operations.
The ARV-MRAP is considered an authorized emergency vehicle and shall be operated in
accordance with New Hope Police Department Policy 4-4.002.
ARMORED RESCUE VEHICLE UTILIZATION
1) Operational Use: The department’s ARV is the primary vehicle utilized for
team deployment and security during SWAT operations and warrant service. The
vehicle may also be utilized by trained patrol personnel for initial response to
major events at discretion of the Patrol Supervisor. The primary use for the ARV
includes but is not limited to:
a) The primary casualty collection point (CCP) during SWAT
operations and warrant service
b) The execution of dangerous arrest or search warrants
c) Natural disaster rescue
d) Potential violent crowd control or civil protest involving mass
arrests (Mobile Field Force operations)
e) Hostage situations
f) Violent barricaded individuals
g) Active shooter response
h) Officer/citizen rescues in a hostile environment
i) Other incidents or functions which calls upon the expertise and
training of police personnel in which the ARV can be utilized in
protection of the officers and the citizens they serve
2) Operator Transport: These missions may include the movement of tactical
personnel, negotiators, or other support personnel through areas that may or may
not contain the threat of gunfire, chemical agents, civil disorder, or other dangers,
either manmade or natural.
3) Exterior Transport: When utilizing an ARV, occupants may ride on the
outside of the vehicle with the appropriate running boards installed. However, all
occupants riding on the outside of the vehicle/running boards will only do so for
short distances and at low speeds.
4) Civilians in ARV: Civilians are authorized to be transported in the ARV in
circumstances that a civilian could be transported in a normal squad car under
appropriate emergency conditions. This also includes during training and during
public demonstrations with prior approval. At no time will members of the public
be allowed to ride on the outside of the vehicle when it is in motion. The Chief of
Police, Captain, SWAT Commander, Team Leader, or Vehicle Commander may
authorize, under emergency conditions/rescues, members of the public to ride on
the outside of the vehicle/running boards when high risk police tactics dictate the
utilization of the ARV in order to protect/save lives as opposed to unnecessarily
exposing personnel and members of the public to potential danger by accessing
the ARV passageways to gain access to the interior of the vehicle.
5) Rescue Operations: These missions may involve the removal of injured or
uninjured people through areas that may or may not contain the threat of gunfire,
chemical agents, civil disorder, natural disasters, or other dangers, either
manmade or natural. Rescue operations utilizing the ARV will only be conducted
using adequately trained SWAT and police personnel.
6) Tactical Shooting Platform: These missions may involve the placement of the
ARV to improve accuracy or minimize risk to personnel in order to deploy less
lethal munitions, chemical agents, a precision long range marksman, or directed /
suppressive fire.
7) Defeat or Breach of Obstacle: These missions may involve the use of the
ARV to defeat a fence or other barricade on or near the exterior of the subject
location or to breach a door or window through the use of an attached ram,
chemical agent delivery system, or hook and winch system.
8) Vehicle Interdiction: These missions may involve the placement of the ARV
to prohibit the movement of suspect vehicles in order to deter a suspect from
fleeing or create a barrier to protect the public from an armed or potentially armed
subject in the vehicle.
9) Protection Missions: These missions may involve the movement of
dignitaries, witnesses, victims or others that are in suspected risk in order to
transport them safely to or from a destination in which there is significant risk to
the subject.
10) Delivery of Equipment: These missions may involve the delivery of certain
tactical surveillance equipment such as robots, listening devices, and public
address systems, throw phones, or other tactical equipment.
11) Mutual Aid Response: These missions may involve the emergency
deployment of a tactical vehicle from the ARV fleet to a neighboring state, county
or municipal law enforcement agency for tactical support, or rescue operations.
Mutual Aid Request Procedure:
In the event a request for mutual aid is made, the following steps should
be immediately taken:
1. The name, rank, agency, and contact telephone number of the
requesting law enforcement official.
2. The nature of the emergency situation, and location.
3. The type of assistance requested (ARV, SWAT team, CNT, or
equipment).
4. Notify the SWAT chain of command, or higher authority.
ARMORED RESCUE VEHICLE TRAINING
1) MRAP vehicle operators will conduct initial drivers training and orientation.
a) Designated operators of the HMMWV will satisfactorily complete
a two hour MRAP orientation and basic operation course prior to
operating the vehicle under non-emergency conditions.
b) Annual training sustainment of this initial training will consist of
utilization of the MRAP vehicle during training operations as well as
annual refresher on fundamentals of vehicle safety and operations.
c) This policy does not limit operation of the MRAP by sworn
personnel under emergency conditions.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-5.008
MOBILE AUDIO/VIDEO RECORDING
Purpose
To establish guidelines for the operation and use of mobile audio and video recording
equipment in police vehicles.
Policy
The primary use of audio/video recording equipment in police vehicles is for the
purpose of collecting evidence to be used in the prosecution of those who violate the law
and to provide objective evidence of police and subject actions during encounters. This
equipment is provided to enhance officer capability and performance.
Officers are responsible for checking the functionality of the recording unit at the
beginning of their shift. Officers are responsible for assuring the squad mobile video
and audio recording equipment is fully operational at all times and shall report any
malfunction to a supervisor immediately.
The recording equipment shall be installed in a manner that automatically activates it
when all emergency lighting is activated.
Audio recording shall be concurrent with video recording. It is strongly recommended
that the recording equipment be manually activated by the officer in the following
circumstances:
• To record reasonable suspicion or probable cause for a traffic stop, arrest, or
other law enforcement activity.
• To create a video record of crashes or crime scenes.
• Field sobriety testing.
• Domestics.
• In-progress calls.
• Fights/disturbance complaints.
• Anytime enforcement action is likely.
• Hostile persons.
• Transport of prisoners and/or civilians.
• To record interviews and conversations for evidence or other record keeping
purposes.
• All other times where objective documentation is beneficial to accurately report
events.
Retention and Cataloguing of Recorded Media
• All recorded media shall be replaced when 30 minutes or less of recording time
remains.
• Officers shall not erase or record over any recorded media.
• All used recorded media shall be placed in the designated area in the sergeants’
office to be downloaded.
• Duplication of recorded media shall be only for assigned court, incident review,
compliance with data practices requests, or other reasons approved by a
supervisor.
• Retention of data will be set by the chief of police.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-5.030
IMPARTIAL POLICING
Purpose
This policy is intended to reaffirm the New Hope Police Department’s commitment to
impartial policing and to reinforce procedures that serve to assure the public that we are
providing service and enforcing laws in a fair and equitable manner to all.
Procedure
Policing Impartially
Investigative detentions, pedestrian and vehicle stops, arrests, searches, and
property seizures by officers will be based on a standard of reasonable suspicion
or probable cause in accordance with the Fourth Amendment of the United
States Constitution. Officers must be able to articulate specific facts,
circumstances, and conclusions that support reasonable suspicion or probable
cause for investigative detentions, pedestrian and vehicle stops, arrests,
nonconsensual searches, and property seizures.
Except as provided in the next paragraph, officers shall not consider race,
ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, and religion in establishing
either reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
Officers may take into account the descriptors in the preceding paragraph of a
specific suspect based on information that links specific, suspected, unlawful, or
suspicious activity to a particular individual or group of individuals. This
information may be used in the same manner officers use specific information
regarding age, height, weight, etc., about specific suspects.
Preventing Perceptions of Biased Policing – Procedural Guidelines
In an effort to prevent the perception of biased law enforcement, officers shall utilize the
following guidelines:
• Be respectful and professional.
• Introduce or identify yourself to the citizen and state the reason for the contact as
soon as practical, unless providing this information will compromise officer or
public safety.
• Ensure that the detention is no longer than necessary to take appropriate action
for the known or suspected offense.
• Attempt to answer any relevant questions the citizen may have regarding the
contact, including relevant referrals to department personnel or other agencies
when appropriate.
• Provide your name and badge number when requested, either on a business card
or in some other written form.
• If you determine that the reasonable suspicion was unfounded (i.e., after an
investigatory stop), provide an explanation for your actions.
Supervision and Accountability
Supervisors shall ensure that all personnel in their command are familiar with the
content of this policy and are operating in compliance with it.
By Order of Tim Fournier – Chief of Police
4-5.032
AUTHORIZED USE OF PROTECTIVE HELMETS
Purpose
To establish guidelines for the use of protective helmets by officers.
Definition
This policy refers to protective police helmets issued or approved by the department.
Only authorized helmets will be worn by police personnel.
Storage
• A protective helmet will be kept in each marked squad.
• The helmets will be stored in a box or other authorized storage container for
protection.
• The remainder of the helmets will be kept at the police department.
Authorized Use
Officers will be authorized to wear the helmets subject to the approval of a sergeant or
officer-in-charge (OIC). Approved use would include, but not be limited to, the
following circumstances:
• Riots or large, hostile crowds.
• Large parties.
• In-progress assaults or fights.
In the event that the sergeant or OIC is not available to give approval, an officer may use
a protective helmet if they can articulate the immediate need of a helmet for their safety.
A sergeant will review any use of a protective helmet that is not approved and may
require an Administrative Report from the officer if the sergeant feels the circumstances
dictate such a report.
Principle Two
Employees shall refrain from any conduct in an official capacity that detracts
from the public’s faith in the integrity of the criminal justice system.
Rationale
Community cooperation with the police is a product of its trust that officers will
act honestly and with impartiality. The employee, as the public’s initial contact
with the criminal justice system, must act in a manner that instills such trust.
Rules
2.1 Employees shall carry out their duties with integrity, fairness, and
impartiality.
2.2 Employees shall not knowingly make false accusations of any criminal,
ordinance, traffic, or other law violation. This provision shall not prohibit
the use of deception during criminal investigations or interrogations as
permitted under law.
2.3 Employees shall truthfully, completely, and impartially report, testify, and
present evidence, including exculpatory evidence, in all matters of an
official nature.
2.4 Employees shall take no action knowing it will violate the constitutional
rights of any person.
2.5 Employees must obey lawful orders, but must refuse to obey any orders
the employee knows would require the employee to commit an illegal act.
If in doubt as to the clarity of an order, the employee shall, if feasible,
request the issuing employee to clarify the order. An employee refusing
to obey an order shall be required to justify his or her actions.
2.6 Employees learning of conduct or observing conduct which is in violation
of any law, policy, rule, or regulation of this department shall take
necessary action and report the incident to the employee’s immediate
supervisor, who shall forward the information to the chief law
enforcement officer. If the misconduct is committed by the employee’s
immediate supervisor, the employee shall report the incident to the
immediate supervisor’s supervisor. Any employee reporting such
information shall not be disciplined for doing so.

Works
Agenda Title
Receive presentation on the city’s ADA Transition Plan
Requested Action
Staff is recommending Council receive a brief presentation from staff regarding the city’s ADA Transition
Plan
Policy/Past Practice
The city began drafting the ADA Transition Plan in 2019.
Background
Staff began developing the ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act) Transition Plan in fall of 2019. Beginning
in 2020, MnDOT will not allow any federal funding to be distributed to communities without an ADA
Transition Plan in place or in progress. The goal of the ADA Transition Plan is to bridge the gap between the
Federal ADA requirements and our goal to provide an accessible community for all of our residents. This
plan will work in conjunction with the existing Comprehensive Plan and the Complete Streets Policy.
The ADA Transition Plan identifies the city’s methods for the replacement of out-of-date and non-compliant
pedestrian facilities within the city of New Hope. The plan states that the city will prioritize pedestrian
improvements by following the 10-Year Pavement Management Plan, as well as coordinating with Hennepin
County and adjacent cities on projects.
Funding
The plan does not identify any direct cost for ADA improvement projects. The city will continue to combine
these pedestrian improvement projects with street infrastructure projects to reduce cost.

ADA TRANISTION PLAN
Introduction
Transition Plan Need and Purpose
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted on July 26, 1990, is a civil rights law
prohibiting discrimination against individuals on the basis of disability. ADA consists of five
titles outlining protections in the following areas:
1.Employment
2.State and local government services
3.Public accommodations
4.Telecommunications
5.Miscellaneous Provisions
Title II of ADA pertains to the programs, activities and services public entities provide. As a
provider of public transportation services and programs, City of New Hope (City) must comply
with this section of the Act as it specifically applies to public service agencies. Title II of ADA
provides that, “…no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be
excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities
of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.” (42 USC. Sec. 12132;28
CFR. Sec. 35.130)
As required by Title II of ADA, 28 CFR. Part 35 Sec. 35.105 and Sec. 35.150, City has conducted a
self-evaluation of its facilities within public rights of way and has developed this Transition Plan
detailing how the organization will ensure that all of those facilities are accessible to all
individuals.
ADA and its Relationship to Other Laws
Title II of ADA is companion legislation to two previous federal statutes and regulations: the
Architectural Barriers Acts of 1968 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 is a Federal law that requires facilities designed, built,
altered or leased with Federal funds to be accessible. The Architectural Barriers Act marks one
of the first efforts to ensure access to the built environment.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a Federal law that protects qualified individuals
from discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law
apply to employers and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal
department or agency. Title II of ADA extended this coverage to all state and local government
entities, regardless of whether they receive federal funding or not.

ADA TRANISTION PLAN
Agency Requirements
Under Title II, City must meet these general requirements:
·Must operate their programs so that, when viewed in their entirety, the programs are
accessible to and useable by individuals with disabilities (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.150).
·May not refuse to allow a person with a disability to participate in a service, program or
activity simply because the person has a disability (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130 (a).
·Must make reasonable modifications in policies, practices and procedures that deny
equal access to individuals with disabilities unless a fundamental alteration in the
program would result (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130(b) (7).
·May not provide services or benefits to individuals with disabilities through programs
that are separate or different unless the separate or different measures are necessary to
ensure that benefits and services are equally effective (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130(b)(iv) & (d).
·Must take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with applicants,
participants and members of the public with disabilities are as effective as
communications with others (29 C.F.R. Sec. 35.160(a).
·Must designate at least one responsible employee to coordinate ADA compliance [28
CFR Sec. 35.107(a)]. This person is often referred to as the "ADA Coordinator." The
public entity must provide the ADA coordinator's name, office address, and telephone
number to all interested individuals [28 CFR Sec. 35.107(a)].
·Must provide notice of ADA requirements. All public entities, regardless of size, must
provide information about the rights and protections of Title II to applicants,
participants, beneficiaries, employees, and other interested persons [28 CFR Sec.
35,106]. The notice must include the identification of the employee serving as the ADA
coordinator and must provide this information on an ongoing basis [28 CFR Sec.
104.8(a)].
·Must establish a grievance procedure. Public entities must adopt and publish grievance
procedures providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints [28 CFR Sec.
35.107(b)]. This requirement provides for a timely resolution of all problems or conflicts
related to ADA compliance before they escalate to litigation and/or the federal
complaint process.
This document has been created to specifically cover accessibility within the public rights of
way and does not include information on City programs, practices, or building facilities not
related to public rights of way.

ADA TRANISTION PLAN
Self-Evaluation
Overview
The City is required, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
28CFR35.105, to perform a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure policies,
practices, and programs. This self-evaluation will identify what policies and practices impact
accessibility and examine how the City implements these policies. The goal of the self-
evaluation is to verify that, in implementing the City's policies and practices, the department is
providing accessibility and not adversely affecting the full participation of individuals with
disabilities.
The self-evaluation also examines the condition of the City's Pedestrian Circulation
Routes/Pedestrian Access Routes (PCR/PAR) and identifies potential need for PCR/PAR
infrastructure improvements. This will include the sidewalks, curb ramps, bicycle/pedestrian
trails, traffic control signals and transit facilities that are located within the City rights-of-way.
Any barriers to accessibility identified in the self-evaluation and the remedy to the identified
barrier are set out in this transition plan.
Summary
As of 2019, the City conducted an inventory of pedestrian facilities within its public right of way
consisting of the evaluation of the following facilities:
397 City street curb ramps
-569 total curb ramps within City limits (includes County Roads)
26 miles of sidewalks
22 miles of trails
1 traffic control signal maintained by the City
283 bus stops
The sidewalks, trails, APS signals and bus stop inspections are not complete and
will continue until they are all inspected which is projected to be 2025. A detailed evaluation on
how these facilities relate to ADA standards will be updated periodically as the inspections are
completed and inventoried. Self-Evaluation results are in Appendix A.
Policies and Practices
Previous Practices
Since the adoption of the ADA, the City has striven to provide accessible pedestrian features as
part of the City's capital improvement projects. As additional information was made available
Page |6
ADA TRANISTION PLAN
as to the methods of providing accessible pedestrian features, the City updated their
procedures to accommodate these methods.
Current Policy
The City's goal is to continue to provide accessible pedestrian design features as part of the
City's capital improvement projects. The City has established ADA design standards and
procedures as listed in Appendix F. These standards and procedures will be kept up to date
with nationwide and local best management practices.
The City of New Hope has established policies, plans and programs that support accessible
pedestrian design decisions:
·Pavement Management Program
·Complete Streets Policy
·Trail and Bikeway Comprehensive Plan
The City will consider and respond to all accessibility improvement requests. All accessibility
improvements that have been deemed reasonable will be scheduled consistent with
transportation priorities. The City will coordinate with external agencies to ensure that all new
or altered pedestrian facilities within the City jurisdiction are ADA compliant to the maximum
extent feasible.
Maintenance of pedestrian facilities within the public right of way will continue to follow the
policies set forth by the City .
Requests for accessibility improvements can be submitted to the City. Contact information is
located in Appendix E.
Improvement Schedule
Priority Areas
Each year the City Council approves a Pavement Management Plan (PMP) which includes
planned Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) for the following 10-years. ADA compliance and
improvements are reviewed and proposed if relevant into each of these projects in compliance
with City of New Hope’s Complete Streets Policy.
External Agency Coordination
Many other agencies are responsible for pedestrian facilities within the jurisdiction of the City.
The City will coordinate with those agencies to track and assist in the facilitation of the
elimination of accessibility barriers along their routes.
Page |7
ADA TRANISTION PLAN
ADA Coordinator
In accordance with 28 CFR 35.107(a), the City has identified an ADA Title II Coordinator to
oversee the City policies and procedures. Contact information for this individual is located in
Appendix E.
Implementation Schedule
Methodology
The City will utilize two methods for upgrading pedestrian facilities to the current ADA
standards. The first and most comprehensive of the two methods are the scheduled street and
utility improvement projects. All pedestrian facilities impacted by these projects will be
upgraded to current ADA accessibility standards. The second method is the stand-alone
sidewalk and ADA accessibility improvement project. These projects will be incorporated into
the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on a case by case basis as determined by City staff. The
City's PMP and CIP are both available on the City of New Hope Website, which includes a
detailed schedule and budget for specific improvements, is included in Appendix B.
Public Outreach
The City of New Hope recognizes that public participation is an important component in the
development of this document. Input from the community has been gathered and used to help
define priority areas for improvements within the jurisdiction of the City.
This document was also available for public comment. A summary of comments received and
detailed information regarding the public outreach activities are located in Appendix C.
·Summary of the draft ADA Transition Plan presentation to the Citizen Advisory
Committee (CAC) – October 8, 2019
·Public Hearing after on-line comment period at an upcoming City Council Meeting –
Winter 2020
·Final ADA Transition Plan brought to a regularly scheduled City Council Meeting for
adoption – Spring 2020
Grievance Procedure
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, each agency is required to publish its responsibilities
in regard to the ADA. A draft of this public notice is provided in Appendix D. If users of the
City's facilities and services believe the City has not provided reasonable accommodation, they
have the right to file a grievance.
Page |8
ADA TRANISTION PLAN
In accordance with 28 CFR 35.107(b), the City has developed a grievance procedure for the
purpose of the prompt and equitable resolution of citizens’ complaints, concerns, comments,
and other grievances. This grievance procedure is outlined in Appendix D.
Monitor the Progress
This document will continue to be updated as conditions within the City evolves.
The appendices in this document will be updated periodically, while the main body of the
document will be updated in 3-5 years, with a future update schedule to be developed at that
time. With each main body update, a public comment period will be established to continue
the public outreach.

Appendix B – Schedule/Budget Information
Cost Information
Unit Prices
Construction costs for upgrading facilities can vary depending on each individual improvement
and conditions of each site. Costs can also vary on the type and size of project the
improvements are associated with. Listed below are representative 2011 costs for some typical
accessibility improvements based on if the improvements are included as part of a retrofit type
project, or as part of a larger comprehensive capital improvement project.
A.Intersection corner ADA improvement retrofit: +/- $4,000 per corner
o Of the 397 inspected curb ramps, 274 curb ramps need improvements
§274 X $4,000 = $1,096,000
§173 curb ramps still require inspection
B.Intersection corner ADA improvement as part of adjacent capital project: +/- $1,500 per
corner
o Of the 397 inspected curb ramps, 274 curb ramps need improvements
§274 X $1,500 = $411,000
§173 curb ramps still require inspection
C.Traffic control signal corner ADA improvement retrofit: +/-$ 10,000
o Est. 15 County Owned Signals require some work on each corner, 60 corners
§60 X $10,000 = $600,000
D.Traffic control signal APS upgrade as part of full traffic control signal installation: +/-
$10,000
o Est. 15 County Owned Signals require APS
§15 X $10,000 = $150,000
E.Sidewalk / Trail ADA improvement retrofit: +/- $5.00 per SF
o TBD in coming years of self-evaluation
o If 10% of all sidewalks and trails require retrofit improvements: +/- 5 miles of
improvements (264,000 Feet)
§Average Sidewalk is 5’ wide: 264,000 FT X 5 FT Wide = 1,320,000 SF
§Estimated Retrofit cost for 10% of City Sidewalks and trails:
·1,320,000 SF X $5/SF = $6,600,000
F.Sidewalk / Trail ADA improvement as part of adjacent capital project: +/- $3.50 per SF
G.Bus Stop ADA improvement retrofit: +/- $400 per stop
H.Bus Stop ADA improvement as part of adjacent capital project: +/- $250 per stop
Page |13
ADA TRANISTION PLAN
Entire Jurisdiction
Based on the results of the self-evaluation, the estimate costs associated with providing ADA
accessibility within the entire jurisdiction is at this time for pedestrian ramps $1,096,000 when
completed outside of a CIP project. For cost reasons and as set-forth in the report, the city of
New Hope will primarily improve pedestrian curb ramps as part of the adjacent CIP Project
which lowers the overall cost to approximately $411,000 for all the failing pedestrian ramps
identified in the 2019 field investigation. In the coming years other pedestrian facilities will be
self-evaluated and the overall investment required will continue to rise as most of the City was
built in the 1960’s prior to the ADA Federal Requirements being adopted. The eventual total
amount signifies a significant investment that city of New Hope is committed to making in the
upcoming years. A systematic approach to providing accessibility will be taken in order to
absorb the cost into the city of New Hope budget for improvements to the public right of way.

ADA TRANISTION PLAN
Appendix D – Grievance Procedure
As part of the ADA requirements the City/County has posted the following notice outlining its
ADA requirements:
Public Notice
In accordance with the requirements of title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
The City will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of
disability in City's services, programs, or activities.
Employment: The City does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or
employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission under title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Effective Communication: The City will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and
services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can
participate equally in the City's programs, services, and activities, including qualified sign
language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and
communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing, or vision impairments.
Modifications to Policies and Procedures: The City will make all reasonable modifications to
policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to
enjoy all City programs, services, and activities. For example, individuals with service animals

of policies or procedures to participate in a City program, service, or activity, should contact the
office of the ADA Coordinator, as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the
scheduled event.
The ADA does not require the City to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature
of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden.
The City will not place a surcharge on a particular individual with a disability or any group of
individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids/services or reasonable
modifications of policy, such as retrieving items from locations that are open to the public but
are not accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.

Page |18
ADA TRANISTION PLAN
If the grievance filed does not concern a City of New Hope facility, the City will work with the
complainant to contact the agency that has jurisdiction.
3. Within 60 calendar days of receipt, a City staff person will conduct an investigation necessary
to determine the validity of the alleged violation. As a part of the investigation, the staff person
would conduct an engineering study to help determine the City's response. The staff person will
take advantage of department resources and use engineering judgment, data collected, and
any information submitted by the resident to develop a conclusion. A staff person will be
available to meet with the complainant to discuss the matter as a part of the investigation and
resolution of the matter. The City will document each resolution of a filed grievance and retain
such documentation in the department’s ADA Grievance File for a period of seven years.
The City will consider all specific grievances within its particular context or setting.
Furthermore, the City will consider many varying circumstances including: 1) the nature of the
access to services, programs, or facilities at issue; 2) the specific nature of the disability; 3) the
essential eligibility requirements for participation; 4) the health and safety of others: and 5) the
degree to which an accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration to the program,
service, or facility, or cause an undue hardship to the City.
Accordingly, the resolution by the City of New Hope of any one grievance does not constitute a
precedent upon which the county is bound or upon which other complaining parties may rely.
File Maintenance
The City shall maintain ADA grievance files for a period of seven years.
Complaints of Title II violations may also be filed with the DOJ within 180 days of the date of
discrimination. In certain situations, cases may be referred to a mediation program sponsored
by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ may bring a lawsuit where it has investigated a
matter and has been unable to resolve violations.

Agenda Title
Discuss and/or approve the 2020 Performance Measurements Survey
Requested Action
Staff requests that Council review the Performance Measurements Survey and approve the survey to be
mailed out with the July utility bills
Policy/Past Practice
In 2011, the Minnesota Legislature’s Council on Local Results and Innovation released a standard set of ten
performance measures for cities to aid residents, taxpayers, and state and local officials in determining the
effectiveness of cities in providing services and to measure the residents’ opinions of those services. The city
has participated in the program since 2011 to evaluate residents’ satisfaction with city services. Cities that
participate in the program are eligible for a reimbursement of $0.14 per capita, resulting in approximately
$2,800 per year for New Hope.
Background
At the May 2020 work session, Council decided to delay the 2020 professional city-wide survey that was to
be conducted by the Morris Leatherman company. This decision was made due to the effects the COVID-19
pandemic has had on programs and facilities that were to be surveyed about in-depth in the Morris
Leatherman survey. Council requested that instead, staff conduct the survey for 2020 in order to save money
and also so that the Morris Leatherman survey could be conducted in a year when it would provide more
beneficial information.
Staff has prepared a 2020 survey reflecting that of 2019, that also includes the additional questions that
Council and staff asked to be added to the Morris Leatherman survey. Questions highlighted in yellow
represent the questions that were requested to be added.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council review the survey submitted by staff, decide if any changes need to be
made, and then approve the survey for distribution with or without any changes to the submitted survey.

Agenda Title
Review Proposed Revision to New Hope City Code Regarding Organics Collection
Requested Action
City staff is requesting that City Council review preliminary changes to the city code regarding garbage,
recycling and organics collection.
Policy/Past Practice
The city currently operates with an open garbage collection system, in which individual customers can choose
their own hauler. City ordinance requires that haulers be licensed and that garbage services be provided to
each household at least once a week. Currently the city has megno requirement that garbage haulers offer
organics collections. The city is a member of the Hennepin County Recycling Group (HRG), and HRG
contracts with a vendor to provide weekly recycling services to the cities of New Hope, Crystal and Brooklyn
Center. The HRG contractor does not currently provide organics collection services. Hennepin County is
requiring all cities have some means of offering organics collection to their residents by January, 2022. City
Code is updated frequently to reflect changes to modern day verbiage as well as to reflect best practices in the
surrounding area.
Background
In 2018, the Hennepin County Board passed a mandate that all cities in the county must provide curbside
collection of organics by January, 2022. Waste Management, the current provider of recycling services in the
city, has offered to add the citywide collection of organics to its contract at a cost of $2.15 per month, per
household. This requires a separate cart customers use and a separate truck the company must use to pick
up these carts. The only hauler currently offering joint organics collection is Randy’s Sanitation. Randy’s
utilizes a patented blue bag that residents can place in their trash container that gets separated later from the
garbage at a facility. Currently this service is offered at $58 per year ($4.83 per month).
After discussion with all three City Councils, the HRG Board consisting of New Hope, Crystal and Brooklyn
Center has decided that the best approach to fulfilling this obligation with the county is to amend the
garbage and recycling code, so that all garbage haulers licensed in the city will be required to offer an
organics collection service of some sort to their customers. Staff has worked with Tim Pratt, Administrator
of the Hennepin County Recycling Group, to write language in the code that would implement this
requirement. Along with this change, Tim Pratt offered potential changes to the current City Code to bring
the verbiage up to more modern day standards. Staff agrees with these changes, and there are also three
minor policy changes staff would like Council to consider and advise staff on how Council would like to
proceed with them. The sections that are highlighted in yellow in the attachments, represent potential policy
changes for review. The following are the sections of the City Code that staff is proposing changes to:
Agenda Section
Work Session
Item Number
11.6
Request for Action, Page 2
Section 1-2 – Definitions
Update verbiage.
Section 8-14 – Licensing
Update verbiage.
Add section regarding Source Separated Organics (SSO) that would require licensed haulers to offer
organics collection services.
Section 9-11 – Waste and recyclable materials collection and disposal
Update verbiage
Currently the language in the City Code only requires that all residents utilize licensed garbage
hauling in the city. This new policy change would require that all dwellings in the city meaning:
private dwellings, houses, multiple residences, stores, motels, restaurants, and every other type of
property which accumulates garbage; would now need to have garbage service provided by a
licensed hauler. According to Tim Pratt, adding this change would help fulfill a Green Step and also
aligns with best practices in the surrounding area.
There is also the potential to write into the code a section that would allow residential neighbors to
share garbage carts. This would be useful for instances where either one or both neighbors create
very little garbage and are able to share a cart.
Sec 9-11(b)(1) listed in proposed changes, is an ordinance that some communities have implemented
giving the option for collection and disposal pickups every other week as opposed to every week,
which the city currently requires. This ties in with the above option, and also as some dwellings
begin to utilize more organics and recycling, they have less of a need for more frequent garbage
collections.
Section 9-42 – Noise.
Sec 9-42 listed in the proposed changes would eliminate the exception for residents conducting their
own refuse handling. Since all residences in the city are required to utilize a licensed garbage hauler,
this conflicts with Sec 9-11(b)(1) of the current code.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council review the updated language changes to the garbage and recycling code, and
also the addition of language requiring licensed garbage haulers in the city to provide organics collection
services. Staff also recommends that Council give advice on how they would like to proceed with the three
suggested policy changes, so that they can be potentially included in an ordinance amendment shall Council
show support for them. Once feedback is received from the Council, staff will work with the city attorney to
prepare an ordinance amendment that can be adopted in the future.

Agenda Title
Preliminary Discussion on 2021 Budget
Requested Action
Staff requests to begin discussions on the 2021 budget with the City Council. Topics staff would like to
discuss include general direction from the Council on goals and priorities, review of the budget schedule
and process, discussion of Central Garage replacement costs, major projects scheduled for 2021, cost of
living adjustments/insurance, Council salaries and other topics. AEM has prepared the attached memo
summarizing several of the key items for budget consideration and excerpts have been incorporated into
this RFA.
Policy/Past Practice
In past years the City Council has provided general direction to staff regarding the budget, and Council and
staff have worked together through the summer/fall months to achieve a final budget for
adoption/implementation.
Background
A. Goals/Priorities
Staff requests that the Council briefly discuss any special goals or priorities that you have for the 2021
budget and provide direction to staff. Listed below are ideas from staff, and some of the goals/priorities
that are continued from 2020 such as redevelopment projects and infrastructure improvements.
1. Hold the line on spending; continue to provide existing services and programs with current
resources.
2. Keep the general fund tax levy/property taxes as low as possible (levy limits are not in effect
for 2021).
3. Implement 5% annual increase in street and park infrastructure levies to fund increased
street/park improvements and increase park infrastructure levy by $100,000 (final year of
increase) to help fund ice arena capital needs and debt (as outlined in the long-term financial
plan). Staff is recommending the increase allowed in the EDA levy (based on a percentage of
market value) to help fund the scattered site housing program, as CDBG funding resources are
diminishing. There are no new levies to be added this year and most of the previous debt levies
are decreasing.
4. Central Garage equipment replacement costs will be funded at 100% in the general fund and
staff recommends using LGA funding for that purpose (not general operations).
Agenda Section
Work Session
Item Number
11.7
Request for Action, Page 2
5. Continue to proactively pursue all outside funding opportunities for infrastructure and facility
improvements and other programs including public safety, parks and recreation, public works
and housing/redevelopment.
6. 2021 is not an election year and the city will realize a savings of approximately $60,000 in
election judge training costs and wages paid in 2020 for three elections (Presidential Primary,
Primary, and General). Funds will be budgeted for equipment maintenance. Due to the fact
that there are open positions on the City Council to be filled with the 2020 election, staff will be
preparing orientation materials for any new residents who may be elected to the Council.
7. Public safety is high priority; major CIP items to include replacement of squad camera
systems/software, replace two squad radar units, replace five Taser units and initiate purchase
of body worn camera systems for officers (year one of three-year implementation).
8. Continue support and coordination with West Metro Fire-Rescue District, including
emergency preparedness and EOC, in partnership with city of Crystal; continue to support
long-term capital plan based on major apparatus report. New Hope’s share of JPA budget to
increase approximately $55,000 including annual lease payment for aerial. Continue to budget
annually for Station #3 improvements that are the city’s responsibility ($30,000 per year).
9. Redevelopment will remain a high priority with continued focus on City Center and other
commercial/industrial/housing redevelopment opportunities throughout the city. Continue
coordination on Windsor Ridge development and coordinate with St. Therese Nursing Home
to facilitate potential expansion and/or renovation of existing campus. Other potential
expansions/new developments could include Auto Concepts, Oildyne and Marcos Pizza/Alex
Audio site. Continue with variety of scattered site housing new construction and rehabilitation
projects. Property maintenance and inspections will continue as a top priority.
10. Continue with infrastructure/environmental improvements; major CIP projects for 2021 will
include completing final wear course on 2020 reconstruction project (Northwood Parkway and
36th Circle) and the 2021 street infrastructure improvements in the Lions Park neighborhood.
Annual seal coat and crack/fog seal program will continue in the Meadow Lake and West
Broadway areas along with sewer pipe lining. Parking lot repairs will take place at Hidden
Valley and Lions Park. Continue review of potential future addition to public works facility.
Continue coordination with other cities on Joint Water Commission, maintain partnership with
Meadow Lake and Northwood Lake Watershed associations and coordinate with Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission on Meadow Lake improvement project.
Scheduled equipment replacement includes two dump trucks with plows, trailer for roller, two
Toro workmans, squad cars and replacement of the 50,000 lb. truck lift.
11. In Parks and Recreation, open new pool facility for 2021 season, replace playground equipment
at Corner Park, replace Little Acre basketball court and add lighting at Hidden Valley Park
parking lot. Improvements at the ice arena include replacement of south rink roof, replacement
of radiant heaters at north rink and weight room upgrades. Golf course improvements to

protector fence on hole #1. Coordinate with OBMT on first production at new performance
center and continue dance and gymnastics programs.
12. Continue Emerald Ash Borer program on public property and invasive species (buckthorn)
removal in parks.
13. Continue contractual arrangement with AEM for financial oversight, continue to implement
technological efficiencies on departmental basis to retrieve budget data, continue to update 10-
year financial plan and monitor utility and enterprise fund operations, and work to improve
credit rating for bonds Continue to work on implementing long-term equipment schedule
replacement program for all park and recreation facilities.
14. Continue contractual agreement with Solution Builders for IT services, continue replacing
computers as appropriate in order to keep up-to-date with technological capabilities and meet
IT needs of staff. IT budget to include funds for the city’s share of repl acing the fiber optic
network in 2024 and additional viral server and video storage at LOGIS for security and police
department cameras. Continue to maintain the new website as well as increase the level of
communications from the city regarding programs/projects/events through greater utilization
of the reader board signs, social media, etc.
15. Conduct professional city-wide survey with Morris Leatherman to solicit feedback on city
services/projects/issues (delayed from 2020 due to pandemic), continue to encourage/improve
public participation in city affairs and promote inclusiveness, continue to promote
Nextdoor.com, update performance measurement report and SMART goals and conduct City
Day event.
16. Continue to update 10-year pavement management and street infrastructure plans, follow-
through on Council direction regarding garbage collection/refuse haulers, and continue
coordination with other HRG cities to develop organic waste collection plan.
17. Continue participation in Green Steps program and implement actions to achieve next step in
program.
18. Staff recommends incorporation of a 3% cost of living adjustment for employees so the 2017
compensation study results remain current and a 50/50 cost share for employee insurance
increases. Council salary adjustments should be discussed and a 3% increase is included in the
budget.
B. Budget Schedule and Budget/Levy Adoption Process
Attached is the 2021 draft budget schedule and summary:
1. June 15 Work Session Conducted tonight for general discussion/direction.
2. Mid-June to
early-August
Dept. heads and city manager complete preliminary budgets;
city manager and AEM meet with each dept. to review all
budgets line-by-line. Preliminary budgets compiled into
workbook.
Request for Action, Page 4
3. Aug. 17
Work Session
Budget notebooks distributed and initial discussion on general
fund tax-supported budgets.
4. Sept. 8
(if needed)
Due to the fact that the Council will need to agree on and
determine a preliminary maximum tax levy for the general
fund budgets by the Sept. 14 Council meeting, I am requesting
that we set aside the date of Tuesday, Sept. 8 (following Labor
Day) for another budget work session (if needed). If that date
does not work, we can schedule another date prior to Sept. 14.
In the past this meeting has not been necessary.
5. Sept. 14
Council Meeting
Preliminary maximum levy adopted by Council (statute
requires resolutions for City and EDA proposed levies to be
adopted by September 30). Council must announce the date of
the budget hearing for public input.
6. September – November Continue to refine general fund budget and discuss all
enterprise and utility fund budgets.
7. Sept. 21
Work Session
Discuss general fund budgets with dept heads/city
manager/AEM.
8. Oct. 19
Work Session
Discuss enterprise/utility fund/HRG budget with dept
heads/facility managers/AEM/city manager.
9. Nov. 16
work session Final review of all budgets prior to the Dec. 7 public hearing.
10. Dec. 7
Truth in Taxation hearing (staff recommends Monday, Dec. 7,
as there is not a regular council meeting on that date). Although
a separate meeting for the budget public hearing is not
required, this has been a past practice of the Council (statute
requires a public meeting be held between Nov. 25 and Dec 28).
11. Dec. 14 Adopt final budget and tax levy (statute requires cities to certify
final adopted tax levies by Dec. 30).
I will be asking AEM to be in attendance at the budget work sessions. I would also recommend department
heads be in attendance at a work session when their budgets are discussed so they can explain and answer
questions about their respective budgets. I believe the Council will agree that there has been a good
dialogue with department heads over the past several years. Staff and AEM will also be reviewing the
budget with the Citizens Advisory Commission in November as requested by Council in 2015.
C. Budget Format
The 2020 budget included the Council approved priorities for each department. The 2021 budget will
follow this same format, and the approved priorities will be received and updated as needed.
D. 10-Year Financial Plan
In 2017, AEM coordinated with department heads and the city manager and expanded the city’s five year
financial plan to include an additional five years. AEM presented the 10 -year planning model to Council
Request for Action, Page 5
in December of last year and presented select enterprise fund capital analysis in May of this year. The
model is intended to show stakeholders the results of current budget actions and provide scenarios for
future actions at the staff and Council level. This format integrate d the current 10-year capital plan and
2020 budget. This plan provides information and analysis on the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds as
well as the Street and Park Infrastructure Funds.
When the preliminary 2021 budget is completed, the budget assumptions will be integrated into an
updated 10-year plan and presented to Council. The city’s credit rating was upgraded several years ago
as a result of the implementation of this long-term financial planning tool, and the AA credit rating was
reaffirmed in 2017 and 2018 by Standard & Poors. An overall financial management plan for the city
integrating all policies and procedures was completed in August 2016, which improved the management
score from “strong” to “very strong”, the highest value assigned by S&P for that part of the rating.
E. LGA
Per the attached excerpt from the MN House Research Department, the legislature approved an increase
in local government aid (LGA) that has positive impacts for some cities, includin g New Hope. Under the
new approved legislation, New Hope’s LGA will increase from $815,623 in 2020 to $865,307 in 2021, an
increase of $49,684. Similar to the 2020 budget, it is recommended that all of the LGA received be directed
to the general fund to help offset the Central Garage replacement expense. The funds would be utilized
for savings for future equipment purchases, not general operation.
F. Central Garage Funding
The Central Garage is operated as an internal service fund. This means that user charge s are established
for the funds that use the services of Central Garage. In previous years, the city used some of the reserves
of this fund to offset some of the state aid adjustments in the general fund. This was accomplished by
reducing the amount of budgeted replacement charges in the general fund. In 2017, the replacement
reserve returned to a 100% funding level, reducing the reliance on the Central Garage reserve. The overall
financial position of the Central Garage is strong ($7.5 million in cash at December 31, 2019). The total
Central Garage charges to the general fund for 2020 were $1,479,016. The total Central Garage charges to
the General Fund for 2021 are $1,536,443, or an increase of $57,427. The enterprise funds
(water/sewer/storm sewer/golf/ice and the Central Garage) are also funded at 100% replacement and there
is a $46,410 increase for 2021. The overall impact to the entire city budget (general and enterprise funds)
is an increase of $103,837 ($57,427 + $46,410). It is recommended that the building replacement reserve
charge remain at $400,000 for 2021 to save funds for the future public works building expansion.
G. PERA Changes
In 2020, the city implemented the last step up in contribution rates from 2018 legislation. At this time,
contribution rates are expected to remain the same for 2021.
H. Other Legislative Initiatives
At this time, staff and AEM are waiting for the law summaries to be published that highlight the legislative
initiatives that may impact the 2021 budget.
Request for Action, Page 6
I. Administrative Charges
Administrative charges/transfers are fees that are included in each of the enterprise fund budgets that are
intended to repay the general fund for general administrative costs incurred on behalf of other
departments for services such as accounts payable/receivable, human resources, communications and
general management. Staff and AEM recommend that the fees be increased incrementally on an annual
basis. For the 2020 budget, the fees were increased 2.5% and staff is recommending a 2.5% increase for the
2021 budget. In 2020, the General Fund charged out $287,488 of administrative charges to other city funds.
Staff is proposing to increase the administrative charges by 2.5% for 2021, resulting in revenue of $294,675
to the General Fund, an increase of $7,187 (see attached schedule).
J. IT Charges/Allocation
Annually, the city’s IT costs, including computer replacement, LOGIS and Solution Builders costs, are
calculated and charged out to various departments based on an allocation method. The city uses a
hybrid approach to allocating the indirect charges associated with the IT fund. The approach utilizes
information on phones, computers, employee counts and departmental expense budgets to allocate out
certain IT fund expenses. Direct departmental IT costs will continue to be a direct charge to the
benefitting department. The General Fund IT allocations will increase from $517,076 in 2020 to $550,747
in 2021, an increase of $33,671.
K. Elections
2021 is not an election year so the city will realize a savings of approximately $60,000 compared to the 2020
budget. In a non-presidential election year (2018) the cost to the city was approximately $40,000 to conduct
two elections (primary and general). 2019 was not an election year and the budget was $4,000 for
equipment maintenance and postage. In 2020 a Presidential Primary was required to be conducted which
increased the number of elections from two to three and required additional election judge training and
more election judges. An increase in election judge hourly pay comparable to other cities was also
implemented. The 2020 budget for elections was $64,500, and the amount budgeted for 2021 is
approximately $4,000.
L. Council Salaries
In 2018, the City Council made changes in the Council’s compensation for 2019 and 2020. See attached
2018 ordinance. The increase was 3% for 2019 and 2020, respectively. The increase was consistent with the
approved cost of living increase for employees. Per the attached memo from the city clerk, in order to
make adjustments in Council compensation for 2021 and 2022, an ordinance change must be adopted and
published prior to the General Election on November 3, 2020. Minnesota statutes give City Councils the
authority to set their salaries by ordinance; however, “no change in salary shall take effect until after the
next succeeding municipal election”.
Staff is recommending a 3% wage increase for Council be included in the 2021 budget, similar to the
increase recommended for employees. Attached is a comparison of Council wages in neighboring cities
showing 2020 rates. New Hope’s rates are slightly below the rates in Golden Valley. Many cities have not
yet determined 2021 or 2022 rates. If the City Council is agreeable, the city attorney wi ll prepare an
ordinance for consideration this all prior to the election.
Request for Action, Page 7
M. Employee Compensation and Insurance
Please see the attached information from Director Johnson on employee compensation and medical
insurance increases. The city conducted a compensation analysis in 2017, and the City Council approved
a new step and grade plan in 2018. The new step and grade plan was approved to ensure that the city’s
overall compensation plan could be aligned with the market. To ensure tha t salaries do not fall behind
market, for preliminary budget planning purposes, staff is recommending the Council consider a 3% cost
of living adjustment in 2021 similar to the increases already approved for the city’s collective barganaing
agreements with public works and police. That is the same increase included in the West Metro Fire budget
and Crystal is considering a similar increase. Staff is recommending the usual 50/50 cost share regarding
anticipated health insurance increases. Final health insurance premiums are not yet known but the overall
cost of the increase will be less than the impact to the 2020 budget as the city was successful in negotiating
a rate cap of 9% for both 2021 and 2022. Both wages and health insurance will be discussed in more detail
later this year after more details are available.
N. Levy Limits

O. Park Infrastructure Levy
Over the past several years, the city has been increasing the Park Infrastructure levy by 5%, annually, to
support the park capital improvement plan. In 2020, the base Park Infrastructure levy was set at $367,290.
In 2017 the City Council reviewed the long-term financial operations of the ice arena, including future
capital improvements and outstanding debt on improvement bonds, and agreed to an additional levy to
support ice arena debt and capital needs. In 2020 the additional levy was $400,000, for a total Park
Infrastructure levy of $767,290.
Staff and AEM are recommending a 5% increase in the base levy for 2021 (or $385,665) and increasing the
support to the ice arena by $100,000 (total $500,000) for a total Park Infrastructure levy of $885,655. The
$100,000 increase in the levy to support the ice arena is the last step up in this levy.
These levy amounts were included in the 10-year financial plan reviewed with the Council in 2019/2020.
P. Street Infrastructure Levy
Over the past several years, the city has been increasing the Street Infrastructure levy by 5%, annually, to
support ongoing pavement management needs. In 2020, the Street Infrastructure levy was set at
$1,467,333. For 2021, staff and AEM are proposing a $1,540,700 levy for the Street Infrastructure Fund, or
an increase of $73,367. This levy increase was included in the long-term financial plan and was discussed
with the Council.
Request for Action, Page 8
Q. EDA Levy
The EDA levy is limited at 0.01813% of overall market value. For 2021, we estimate the levy will be
capped at $365,000 (based on an assumed 5% growth in the city’s overall market value). This would
represent a $17,000 increase from the 2020 levy of $348,000.
R. Debt Service Levies
In 2015, the City issued $5.960 million in General Obligation TIF Bonds (Series 2015A) for the City
Center project. In 2021, the City will levy $237,747 for these bonds, or a decrease of $2,415 from 2020.
The 2020 levy was $240,162.
In 2015, the City also issued $3.825 million in General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds (Series
2015B) for the streets south of Northwood Lake. In 2021, the City will levy $206,828 for these bonds,
or a decrease of $835 from 2020. The 2020 levy was $207,663.
In 2016, the City issued $4.885 million in General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds (Series
2016A) for the streets north of Northwood Lake. In 2021, the City will levy $260,979 for these bonds,
or an increase of $1,837 from 2020. The 2020 levy was $259,142.
In 2017, the City issued $18.435 million in General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan Bonds
(Series 2017A) for the construction of a police department/city hall facility. In 2021, the City will levy
$1,705,515 for the repayment of these bonds, or a decrease of $3,675 from 2020. The 2020 levy was
$1,709,190.
In 2018, the City issued $9.52 million in General Obligation Tax Abatement Bonds (Series 2018A) for
the construction of a new 50 meter swimming pool and Civic Center Park improvements. In 2021,
the City will levy $867,464 for the repayment of these bonds, or an increase of $1,837 from 2020. The
2020 levy was $865,627.
In July of 2019, the City issued $5.235 million in General Obligation Tax Abatement Bonds (Series
2019A) for the construction of a new 50 meter swimming pool and Civic Center Park improvements.
It was the second and final phase of debt issuance for this project. In 2021, the City will levy $468,248
for the repayment of these bonds, or a decrease of $630 from 2020. The 2020 levy was $468,878.
S. City Levy Process

Request for Action, Page 9
09/30/20 At one meeting, the Council adopts the proposed property tax levy and
announces the time and place of future council meeting at which the budget and
levy will be discussed and public input allowed, prior to the final budget and
levy determination. This public input meeting must occur after November 25,
2020 and must start at or after 6 pm. The time and place of the public input
meeting must be included in the minutes but newspaper publication of the
minutes is not required. This information must be filed with the county auditor.
11/25/20–12/28/20 EDA must pass a resolution approving the 2021 EDA levy.
11/25/20-12/28/20 City Council must hold a meeting to discuss the budget and property tax levy
and, before a final determination, allow public input.
11/25/20-12/28/20 City must pass a resolution approving the 2021 EDA levy and City levy.
12/30/20 City must file the certificate of compliance (form TNT-2020) with the Department
of Revenue by December 30, 2020.
T. City Survey
The last professionally conducted city survey regarding city services was conducted in 2015. Prior to
that, the last survey was conducted in 2005. In 2019 staff recommended that the Council budget for
another professional city-wide survey in 2020, which would be five years from the previous survey. In
2015 the cost of the Morris Leatherman survey was $20,500, and it was funded out of the EDA budget.
Staff obtained an estimate of $22,000 from Morris Leatherman to conduct a similar survey in 2020. The
Council supported staff’s recommendation, and the cost was included in the 2020 EDA budget. Due to
the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic could impact resident responses on the survey because of closed
facilities, the Council decided to delay the survey until 2021. The cost of the survey will be included in
the 2021 EDA budget. The city does participate in the state’s performance measurement program to
solicit resident feedback on city services in the years that a professional survey is not conducted.

I:\RFA\City Manager\2020\WMFRD\06.15.2020 WS\Q - Discuss Joint August Fire Board_Council Tentative Work Session 061520.docx
Request for Action
June 15, 2020
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: City Manager
By: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Agenda Title
Discuss Joint August Fire Board/Council Tentative Work Session
Requested Action
Staff requests to briefly discuss whether the City Council wants to conduct a joint council work session with
the West Metro Fire-Rescue District Board of Directors in August or cancel the tentatively scheduled meeting.
The fire board discussed this topic at their June 10 work session and requested that the city managers inquire
of their respective councils and report back at the July 8 board meeting.
Policy/Past Practice
Due to lack of agenda items, low attendance at these meetings, and improved communication with
the Chief’s quarterly updates, this work session has been cancelled in recent years.
Background
During the city council work sessions in 2012 to discuss the future of the West Metro Fire -Rescue
District (WMFRD), it was agreed that the two city councils should meet with the WMFRD Board
annually to keep the lines of communication open. Due to lack of agenda items, low attendance at
these meetings and improved communication with the Chief’s quarterly updates, this work session
has been canceled in recent years. Both councils agreed that the annual joint sessions could be held
on an “as needed” basis and marked as “tentative” on the meeting schedule. The councils also
requested to be notified if the meeting was canceled. The joint session is currently tentatively
scheduled for August 12, 2020.
At the June 10 board work session, the board requested that the city managers inquire if their
respective city councils want to hold a work session in August or not and bring that information
back to the July 8 board meeting. The board can then determine if the work session should be
scheduled or cancelled based on the feedback received form the city councils. Staff does not think
that a special work session is necessary.

Agenda Title
Discussion with Council regarding resuming meetings at city hall
Requested Action
Staff would like input from Council regarding how to safely conduct future council meetings.
Background
Since March 23, 2020, the city has been conducting council meetings remotely through WebEx due to COVID-19.
While this has been an acceptable alternative during the Stay Safe Order, it provides a number of challenges.
Phase III of the Stay Safe Order has loosened many restrictions and indoor gatherings of ten people or less are
allowed. The Council Chambers is a large room and can accommodate some meetings. However, the dias is not
wide enough to provide a six-foot social distancing separation based on the typical seating arrangement. Staff
has discussed the following options for resuming meetings on site:
1. Place plexiglass between council members at 4 foot intervals (the city manager, police chief, and city clerk
could be seated at one of the staff tables)
2. Allow the mayor to conduct the meeting from the podium and have the four council members at the dias
(would allow more separation between one another). We would also remove many of the audience chairs
and space them six feet apart.
CCX has advised that it is not possible to televise a meeting with some persons on site and others participating
remotely from home. If Council is not comfortable with holding meetings on site, we could continue with the
remote meetings and devise a plan (timeline) based on Council’s input for being back in the building.
