Farmington High School Participates InTake Heart Minnesota Grant Study
Farmington High School is participating in a study to determine the effectiveness of using the Friends and
Family CPR Anytime Kit to teach high school students CPR. The study is funded through a grant from the
American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical.
The Friends and Family CPR Anytime Kit includes an 30-minute interactive video that teaches students
how to perform CPR and their own manikin for practicing CPR techniques, The Farmington students had
not previously studied CPR in school. After each group learned the skill, they were tested for proficiency
by using Laerdal computerized manikins. The data will be analyzed ancl compared to a group of students
from Eagan High School that learned CPR through a four-hour health care provider class.
The first test was immediately after instruction.The second test will come six months later to assess
retention,
FAllMINGTON VARSITY FOOTBALL
AMT entered into an agreement with Jon Summer, Athletics Director for Farmington School District
192, to provide a dedicated ambulance for four home football games. The agreement also included five

A LEGISLATIVE SESSION
As with previous reports, the legislature's direction on healthcare reform
continues to be of intense interest. Gov, Dayton announced early Medicaid
enrollment which will help provide health care for several thousand
Minnesotans and bring substantial matching federal dollars to Minnesota,
The tUl110ver in legislators and the change in leadership and protocols for
this session are creating a very dynamic environment, Allina is committed to
ensuring that policymakers have factual information and perspectives when
making decisions that will impact the healthcare we provide,
Challenges and threats to EMS abound again this session, We will be
monitoring EMS-specific legislation as well as any bill that might include
amendments that could impact us, We are aware of several topics that may
draw legislative interest including the Revenue Recapture Program, No-Fault
Insurance, Ambulance Tax Exemptions, and Tort Caps, We cominue to
work with the Minnesota Ambulance Association and its lobbyist on these
and other issues,
CONTRACT RENEWAL
2011 is the third year in our contract to operate AlF Ambulance Service,
The contract is for a three-year period with two, three-year renewals allowed,
Based on the conversations, interactions and feedback from the Executive
Management Committee and the ALF Board of Directors, we believe you
have been pleased with our peLformance. We enjoy serving the communities
and look forward to continuing our relationship.

.
CONTRACT RENEWAL CONTINUED
We believe it may be time to begin discussions about the potential for renewing the contract for an additional
three-year tenl1, The city councils of the three cities saw some changes that may alter the membership of the
ALF Board. We would like to allow adequate time for orientation of new Board members to support informed
decision-making,
We are open to considering any changes to the agreement which the cities may wish to propose, We suggest
a series of dialogues over the year to identify and understand any changes to that may be appropriate. We
respectfully suggest that some language changes may be appropriate to reflect the realities of how the Dakota
Communications Center processes emergency medical calls,
NEW INITIATIVES
In 2011 Allina Medical Transportation is undertaking two exciting initiatives, We are working with other
areas within the Allina Health System to pilot the use of paramedics to monitor and manage patients at risk for
readmission to a hospital. The pilot will not be in the ALF area, but the outcome of this pilot will influence the
future role of paramedics across our entire system, The use of paramedics in expanded roles holds great potential
to help improve the health of our communities, make better use of a skilled and knowledgeable resource, and
secure additional revenue,
The other exciting initiative is a research project AMT will conduct to evaluate what difference varying levels of
first response service has on patient outcome, AMT works with a wide range of first response models across our
system, We will be comparing the patient outcome for similar clinical present~.tions to determine whether more
advanced firs[ responders improve [he patient's clinical outcome. The research will not provide definitive answers
to the value- added by first responders I but we hope it will help advance the discussion of this emerging issue.

William Snoke
Director, Office of EMS
Allina Hospitals & Clinics

Swnmary of 2011 EMS Legislative Issues
ALF Executive Management Committee
Medicaid Enrollment
The decision by Governor Dayton to enroll eligible Minnesotan's itl Mcdicaid brings fcderal
matching dollars into the healthcare system. Prior to this action, several thousand
:Minnesotans were removed from dle State's General Assistance Medical Care (GAMe)
program, The result was that ambulance senrices were requited by lVIinnesota law to provide
service but denied any reimbursement for those senrices, While reinlbursement for this
patient population is often below the cost of providing se~vice, it is revenue dlat helps offset
operating costs,
Revenue Recapture
Many EMS Selvices across lVIinneSOL'l participate in dus program wluch allows any licensed
ambulance service to subnut claims for reimbursement - after appropriate collection
attempts have failed - to dle State. Those claims are paid from refunds owed to dle patient
for income taxes, rent credit, lotte~y winnings, etc. This program has been an important
collections tool that generates sigtuficant revenue, Allina Medical Transportation typically
receives about $600,000 annually from dus program.
There is potential that the State would narrow the list eligible participants for this program.
If ambulance selvlces were elhninated dus would constitute a se110us loss of revenue fot
EMS in 1-Iinnesota.
No-Fault Insurance
Over the past several legislative sessions there have been efforts to elhlunate Ivlinnesota's
No-Fault Insurance program. The dueat to ambulance services is for both a delay in
paym.ent as well as the potential for reduced reimbursement. There have been discussions
with key legislators to include a $20,000 medical benefit that would allow ambulance services
and emergency departments to be paid for the initial emergency care provided to dle
insured. Since ambulance selv.ices and emergency departments are requited to p.rovide dus
care, it is being argued that payment should be assured. This assurance will also help
prese~ve the State's traum.a care system.
Ambulance Tax Exemptions
Over the years, all ambulance selvlces in Minnesota regardless of ownerslup have received
favorable tax treatment du:ough exemption from various taxes, These incluqe sales and fuel
taxes. As the State Legislature wrestles Witll $6+ billion budget short fall, it is possible tllat
these tax exemptions will be revoked. Loss of tllese will increase tlle operating cost
between $750,000 and $1,000,000 annually at Allina,

SU111U1aty of 20"11 EMS Legislative Issues

Tort Caps
The cost of liability insurance where there is no cap is a contributing factor to the overall
cost of health care including emergency medical setvices, PtOviding a unifotm liability limit
for all ambulance selvices - regat(Uess of ownership - would help control escabting
operating costs,
Another aspect of tlus issue is the risk to ambulance medical directors for municipal selyices.
Those ambulance services enjoy linuted liability for the actions of their employees,
Regrettably, the physician medical director is seldom afforded that saine ptOtection. Tlus
increases the cost of providing medical direction for public-sector ambulance selyices.
The Legislature is considering a bill that will reduce inunicipalliability limits. Contained in
the bill is also a provision that prohibits cities from requiting liability limits above those caps
in any contract. While this specitic provision is not a ptOblem for the ALF-Allina
partnership, we understand that other cities have concerns about contracting for various
services.
Death Benefits
The IYIinnesota Legishltl.1re is considering HF 149 which will require employers of police
officers and firefighters to ptOvide health insurance to the sm-viving dependents of a an
ofticer or firefighter killed in the line of duty until the employee would have been age 65,
The particular chapter of Minnesota Statutes includes the staff of any licensed ambulance
service in the definition of public safety ofticer used in that particulat law. It is unclear
whether the bill's autho.r is intentionally lin.uting the application of this bill to police and fire
or whether the intent is to include all public safety ofticers,
At the time this report is being written, the bill has pulled ftOm being heard due, at least in
part, to cost concerns raised by various cities,
Community Paramedic
As healthcare reform unfolds tllere is growing interest in utilizing paramedics in expanded
roles. These initiatives are in their infancy but so far include assisting ,vith reducing
readmissions, delivering pmnary care, and providing public health screenings, Legislative
efforts have begun to include paramedics in the def111ition of community health workers.
This inclusion may allow health care providers to bill separately for the care provided by the

Farmington Fire Department Relief Association
What is a Relief Association
The Farmington Fire Department Relief Association is a nonprofit corporation that
exists to provide a retirement incentive, disability and or death reimbursement for
the Farmington Fire Department paid on-call firefighters. Relief associations are
considered governmental entities. Therefore, they have similar rights, duties and
responsibilities as other governmental entities, such as a city but is, but is
separate from the city. As a governmental entity, the Relief Association manages
the retirement money for the firefighter, so that he/she has a good retirement
benefit. The money it receives and manages goes to a IISpecial Fund" and is public
money budgeted by the city specifically for pension benefits for the Department
members. This money can only be spent by the Relief Association for this purpose
governed by MN Law. The hope is that this will allow the city to recruit and retain
good, well-trained, experienced people to provide fire suppression services and
medical care to the communities they serve. (MN Statute 424A.001, 424A.002,
424A.Ol)
Is the Relief Association part of the Fire Department?
No, the Relief Association is a separate legal entity from the Farmington Fire
Department. Its purpose is to provide benefits to the Fire Department Members.
The Relief Association is governed by Bylaws and Policies voted on by its
members. (MN Statues 424A.02, 424A.021, 424A.03, 424A.01S, 424A.OS, 424A.06,
424A.07)
Who runs the Relief Association
The Relief Association is governed by a IIBoard of Trustees." The board's activities
include determining plan benefits and funding requirements/contributions,
maintaining necessary administrative records, approving expenditures, and
investing pension plan assets. The Board consists of 9 members: The mayor, The
City Manager, The Fire Chief, and 6 Firefighters. (MN Statue 424A.04)
Pension
The Farmington Fire Pension is a onetime payout for vested members at the
time of retirement and age 50. All increases in the pension must be
approved by the City Council. The City uses public money to support the
pension. This money is placed into a "Special Fund" account and
managed by the Relief Association with the guidance of a Financial
Planner. This money is allocated into various funds with the sole purpose
to obtain the highest yield. The distribution of this money is strictly
regulated by the state.
This "Special Fund" account has to have enough money to payout each
member of the Fire Department that is eligible to receive benefits. Every
year this account is rebalanced If the money from the investments do
not yield enough for that year, the City has to add to the "Special Fund" to
make it balanced again. They are legally obligated in accordance with
Minnesota Law to balance this fund Poor economic times causing a
poor yield to the funds and/or multiple members retiring in the same
year can cause a short fall to the "Special Fund" account.
Each Fire Department member has to be active for a minimum of 10
years to become vested A vested member will receive a pension after
they retire from the department, and are at least 50 years old. This
pension is a onetime payment based on years of service. Death and
disability are two other ways a member can receive a pension benefit.
This is all regulated by MN state law and bylaws of the Relief Association
governed by the Board of Trustees. (MN Statute 424A.02)
-The Finances that the Relief Association receives are governed by separate
MN State statues, as well as by the Relief Association's articles of incorporation
and bylaws. Because Relief Associations are required to maintain control of their
own funds, they utilize a separate account from the pension account. This
account is called the General Fund.
"General Fund" (MN Statue 424A.06)
- This account is funded from fund-raisers and donations to the Relief
Association. This account and the use of its money are regulated by the Relief
Associations bylaws. No public money from the city is placed into this account in
accordance to MN state laws. We have purchased many items for the Fire
Department with this money. The money is raised from our 2 yearly fund raisers
which are Turkey Bingo and Advertising ads in our calendar. The calendaris
handed out to all elementary students in Farmington.
Ways the Relief Association has helDed save the City money.
1. Fire Department members have voted to not ask for an increase in the
pension for the years of 2010 and 2011 to help the City of Farmington's
budget. Even though a plan was made to increase the pension level to get
the pension level equal to comparable cities.
2. In the years of 2007,2008, and 2009 the pension plan was balanced due to
the high return on our investments there for lifting the cities obligation to
contribute to the fund. In 2008 the city did make a contribution which was
very helpful in keeping the pension balanced during economic down turns.
3. Items purchased by the Farmington Fire Relief Association from Fund
Raising since 2007
1. Thermal Imager (07/2007) $9,854
2. Zodiac Boat Motor (10/2007) $2,438
3. Animal Rescue Equipment (10/2007) $500
4. Rescue Equipment Bags (01/2009) $622
5. Gas Monitors (03/2009) $1,933
6. Computers in Trucks - Donation made to city (11/2009) $1,168
7. New Helmets for all Firefighters (01/2010) $8,282
8. Rescue Cribbing - Station #2 (06/2010) $1,730
9. Rescue Saws (02/2010) $2,800
Total $29,327
Statement:
The past couple of years have been very trying to our economy not only
here in Minnesota but across America. Our investments in the "Special Fund" have
taken a substantial decrease in their yield starting in 2008. The investments have
since rebounded and the yields are back on the rise again. Like any investment
out there the economy plays a huge role in how good our return will be. It
happened that during this same economic down turn we had multiple Members
become eligible for a lump-sum payout of their pension. Since the members
were eligible they are entitled to receive their pension. Between the economy and
retirements our "Special Fund" had taken a substantial decrease. In 2010 and
2011 the city has had to pay into this account to make it balanced again. Under
State law the city is responsible to make up the difference to balance out this
account when our yields don't make up enough to balance out the account.

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ms. Annette Kuyper, representing Warrior to Citizen, stated the organization is starting
its fourth year. There was a Veteran's Dinner at Farmington Lutheran tonight and the
next dinner is March 7, at Bible Baptist Church. They are working on scheduling two
more churches for monthly dinners. When that is complete, over the last two years all 18
Farmington churches have opened their doors and offered to serve Veteran Dinners.
They have served up to 52 attendees and there have been veterans from every era. Every
church has committed to hosting a dinner for two years. When the Veteran Dinners
started, a focus group was held with older and younger veterans. The two things that
would bring them together would be free food and no program.. So at the dinners the
different eras are meeting each other and sharing stories. The third annual spaghetti
dinner fundraiser will be March 6, at the American Legion. On May 7, the Military
Mother/Grandmother Luncheon will be held. There are over 20 gold star mothers who
4
Council Minutes (Regular)
February 7,2011
Page 2
will be special guests. These are mothers who have lost a child in combat. On May 21,
the Military Family Picnic will be held. All the Dakota County Yellow Ribbon networks
are coming together to form a committee for this event. It will be held at the
Fairgrounds. The Patriotic Day Celebration is being planned. Last year 1,000 people
from Farmington attended the dinner. The committee for planning this event is made up
of everyone in the community. She invited a Councilmember to be a representative and
they hope to also have someone from the School Board. There is also business
representation and various organizations. This event will be held November 3.
7. CONSENT AGENDA
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Bartholomay to approve the Consent Agenda as
follows:
a) Approved Council Minutes (1/18/11 Regular)
Councilmember Bartholomay noted he wanted the capital expenditures for the
City for the next five years, not just the Fire Department.

APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Adopt Resolution - 401/409 Oak Street Recording Error Correction -
Planning
Councilmember May clarified on two separate properties the legal description
was incorrectly recorded. City Attorney Jamnik explained due to an incorrect
legal description in 1994, the variance intended to be issued against the property
at 409 Oak Street, was actually recorded against the property at 401 Oak Street. It
is to remove the variance from the title records on 401 Oak Street and place it
back on 409 Oak Street consistent with the Council actions in 1994. The
application approved in 1994 was to allow a duplex multiple family dwelling at
409 Oak Street. MOTION by Fogarty, second by May to adopt RESOLUTION
R8-11 directing staff to send the approved documentation to Dakota County for
recording. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Approve Deputy Registrar Agreement - Administration
City Administrator Herlofsky presented the agreement with Quick-Serv, the
license vendor who will be operating the license center. It is anticipated to open
in February 2011. Staffhas the applications ready for the driver and vehicle
services and has met with the Department of Natural Resources. Passports and
birth and death certificates will not be handled at this office. Councilmember
Fogarty asked about the hunting and fishing licenses as a business in town also
sells them. She understood the people who buy them at that business will
continue to buy them there for convenience when buying supplies. City
Administrator Herlofsky noted we will provide a wider range of licenses.
Councilmember Fogarty noted the hours of operation are 8:00 - 5:00. She asked
if they are flexible, for example with summer hours. Ifwe change City Hall
hours, is this business willing to change with us? City Administrator Herlofsky
stated it has been set up for 8:00 - 5:00. Ifthere is a need to adjust hours, we
have to advise the State agency. City Attorney Jamnik stated the agreement has a
provision that generally it will be those hours, but they will not be able to do
operations any time the municipal building is closed unless we have written
permission to do so. There is some flexibility if Council wants to close at noon
on Friday. They will have to figure their 40 hours on Monday - Thursday to
accommodate that. Councilmember Fogarty did not want the City limited to
certain hours based on an agreement we have made with a private party. City
Attorney Jamnik stated within the regulations of a 40-hour minimum, we have
flexibility. Councilmember Fogarty asked where in City Hall this will be located.
City Administrator Herlofsky noted it will be on the east side of the building,
inside the front door.
Councilmember Bartholomay asked ifwe have considered any security access.
Staff stated there is no concern with that. Councilmember Bartholomay clarified
if City Administrator Herlofsky is absent, there is an Assistant Deputy Registrar.
City Administrator Herlofsky stated Brenda Wendlandt has that designation in his
absence. Councilmember Bartholomay asked if there is any special training
required. City Administrator Herlofsky stated the training will be the
responsibility of the vendor. He will be responsible for what they do and have the
authority to address issues.
Councilmember Donnelly asked why not passports and birth and death
certificates. Human Resources Director Wendlandt explained birth and death
certificates come through the County. Passports are governed by the Department
6
Council Minutes (Regular)

of Homeland Security and there has to be a separation. The same people cannot
issue driver's licenses and passports.
Councilmember May asked about the tenant's termination option and asked if
they can terminate and do not have to pay any fee to the City regardless if they are
over the $100,000. City Attorney Jamnik stated the trigger for the payment would
still be there, but if their fees are less than $150,000 after year three, they could
terminate, but would still be obligated to pay any splits if the amount is over that.
Councilmember May noted the agreement states no monthly rent shall be due or
payable to landlord in the term year in which the tenant serves a notice of intent to
terminate regardless of the amount offiling fees collected by tenant in said term
year. City Attorney Jamnik stated there is an error as the threshold should be at
$100,000 not $150,000. They would only pay rent if they were over the
threshold. Councilmember Fogarty clarified if they do not make $100,000 in the
third year they have the right to terminate. Councilmember May thought the
percentage for the City would be on more of a scale. She understood if they make
more we get more, but would like to have seen after year five go to 30%. City
Administrator Herlofsky noted they are taking all the risk at the beginning. If you
want 100% of the profits you take 100% of the risk. We want them to be
successful so the 25% is a beneficial number.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Bartholomay to approve the Farmington
License Center Agreement with Quick-Serv with the noted change in section 8
from $150,000 to $100,000. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b) Appoint City Administrator as Deputy Registrar - Administration
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Bartholomay to appoint City Administrator
Peter Herlofsky as Deputy Registrar for Office 177 to satisfy the requirements of
the State of Minnesota. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
12. NEW BUSINESS
a) Farmington Fire Relief Association Contribution Budget Amendment -
Finance
The auditors reviewed the paperwork for the Fire Relief Association Contribution.
After the budget was approved, the State noticed an error in the amount. The City
owed $56,538 more to the Fire Relief Pension. The total contribution amount is
$187,713. The auditors, KDV, offered $5,000 towards the additional amount.
The amount will be made up through the following:
Contingency
KDV Contribution
Fund Balance
Total
$45,841
5,000
5,697
$56,538
Councilmember Fogarty stated several years ago the Fire fund was doing very
well and the firefighters asked us to raise the liability and the City did. There
have been a lot of departments in the City that have made concessions. She
7
Council Minutes (Regular)
February 7, 2011
Page 5
would like to have a conversation with the ftrefighters about helping to reduce the
liability for 2012. She understood we cannot force them to do that. $187,000 is
jobs. What alternatives do we have ifwe cannot get a concession from our
fIreftghters? This has been a habitual debt for the City for the past three years and
has become really tough on our budget. She wanted the City to have a
conversation with the fIrefighters. A lot of people have lost jobs or jobs have not
been filled, which means everyone in City Hall is working harder. She wanted to
see what can be done for 2012 because we cannot afford this. City Administrator
Herlofsky noted the new numbers will be coming out this summer and that would
be a good time to approach this.
Councilmember May was concerned we are finding out about this now. It is
unfortunate we had that contingency and we are only in the fIrst part of February.
She asked who is on the Relief Board and is there a way for Council to be
informed throughout the year how it is doing. Staff explained the number is
submitted in September. The issue is the State did not review the documentation
until late December. Finance Director Walters stated we would have known what
the number is had it been calculated correctly. In the past the Fire Relief
Association has done the work themselves to calculate the number and it has been
accurate. Had things been checked more through our auditing fIrm we would
have known the exact number when we were doing the budget. Councilmember
May wanted to know how we can stay better informed as to how the fund is
doing. Finance Director Walters stated she is on the Board and receives updates,
but how they are doing this year will not matter. It is what they did in the prior
year as far as being able to calculate it. City Administrator Herlofsky stated the
best way to tell if the cost will increase is to watch the stock market. We should
see a break coming into 2012 and we will know this summer. Councilmember
May felt there is something wrong when the Council has to carry the liability.
City Administrator Herlofsky explained the issue is the Council approves the
benefit level. The fIrefighters can invest the money based on their own choice.
We went through a fmancial crisis, so that causes a problem.
Councilmember May noted instead of using the fund balance, staffwas hoping to
make up that amount through careful spending and a reduction to various line
items. Councilmember May asked if Council can receive detail on that. Finance
Director Walters explained right now our budget is very tight. It depends on
whether certain things happen or not throughout the year as to whether we would
spend our entire budget. We hope by the end of the year we would be able to
save $5,600. We cannot pinpoint where we will save that money and will cut
back where we can. City Administrator Herlofsky stated the monthly budget
summaries will provide an indication of portions of the budget that are more
favorable than others.
Councilmember Bartholomay asked if the fIrefighters could voluntarily help to
reduce this by agreeing to safer investments. Staffwill mention it. Mayor Larson
noted they can invest as they want and the City has to recover any losses.

Council Minutes (Regular)
February 7,2011
Page 6
Councilmember Fogarty noted she did not want to imply they have mismanaged
their funds. When the markets were good and they had a lot of money in their
fund, they asked for an increase in the benefit. What she is asking is since the
market is not good anymore, would they be willing to consider a reduction in the
benefit.
Councilmember Donnelly asked if the local Fire Association makes the
investments themselves or is it statewide. Staff stated they manage it themselves.
All Cities operate the same way. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Bartholomay
to approve a budget adjustment adding $56,538 to the Fire Department budget for
Fire Pension Aid, accepting the $5,000 from KDV into the General Fund
reimbursements, and approve the utilization of the contingency funds and fund
balance as shown above. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember Donnelly: Regarding the Deputy Registrar agreement, he asked if
changing the amount from $150,000 to $100,000 made it easier for the vendor to get out
ofthe agreement. City Attorney Jamnik stated no matter what amount, decisions would
have to be made, hopefully that will not occur. Expectations are that it will be profitable
for both parties. Ifthe amount is $150,000, the question is what is the benefit to having it
here?
The Community Expo was a great event and had a wonderful turnout. He thanked
everyone who participated. It was a great way to show off our community.
Councilmember Fogarty: Agreed the Expo was a great event. After the Expo all
Councilmembers attended the ribbon cutting at the new Napa Auto. It was the first time
all five Councilmembers were at an event and a ribbon cutting. It says a lot to the
community when they see Council involved.
Thanked staff for working on the agreement for a Deputy Registrar. It will be very good
for the City.
One thing moving through the legislature is liquor stores being open on Sunday. She
wanted information on what that means for the City, for employees, for staffing, for
obligations with contracts, etc. She would like to have that information in case the
legislature passes that bill we can make the decision whether we want our liquor stores
open on Sundays. She was noticing policies at liquor establishments that they are carding
everyone and they are looking for the e-card endorsement. She would like the City to do
this at our liquor stores. The individual is no longer allowed to consume alcohol, but can
purchase it. Bars and liquor stores are starting to card everyone and looking for that
designation and choosing as a policy to not serve or sell that individual alcohol. She felt
it would be a good policy for the City and would cover us regarding carding minors. She
would like staff to consider this policy change.

Councilmember Bartholomay: Thanked everyone who attended the frrst Brew
HaHa and Blondie's for hosting the event.
The Community Expo was great and a good turnout. It was fabulous seeing all the
businesses.
The next GROW Farmington session will be February 9, at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
Council received foreclosure information for Farmington. He asked if these numbers are
reflected in the budget for taxes. Finance Director Walters stated we are not levying to
cover for foreclosures. The banks will pay the taxes on foreclosed properties.
Councilmember May noted there could be some delay as some banks will not pay until
the property is sold. Some Cities set up contingency funds for that purpose.
Councilmember Bartholomay noted Farmington was the highest in Dakota County. It
gives us that much more push for development and looking at the catalyst for why
Farmington is the highest. He suggested working with other entities to combat this. The
easiest solution is to lower taxes, but that is not always the best.
For the April workshop, he would like to start discussing the budget without numbers and
begin planning. He would like things brought forward from Councilmembers and staff.
He also suggested having a Council retreat without impacting the budget, before looking
at numbers.
Councilmember May: Suggested having a short discussion about a retreat at the
workshop next Monday. The next workshop is Monday, February 14, at 6:30 p.m. to
discuss franchise fees. Many residents have different opinions on that subject, so the
workshop will take place next Monday.
The Community Expo was a great event. She thanked Community Ed and the City for
the event.
The Knights of Columbus is hosting a spaghetti dinner on Saturday, February 26,
followed by bingo at St. Michael's Church.
Mayor Larson: Warrior to Citizens is hosting a Veteran's dinner on March
7, at Bible Baptist Church, on March 6 there is a spaghetti dinner fundraiser, May 21 is
the Military Family picnic.
Regarding the liquor stores being open on Sunday, he agreed with Councilmember
Fogarty's comments to keep Council informed on any plans for that.
He attended the Chamber BrewHaHa briefly and then went to the high school to speak to
civics classes. He also attended the Community Expo for a short amount of time and it
was a very good event.

MOTION by Fogarty, second by Bartholomay to approve the agenda. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
City Staff Comments
Police Chief Lindquist stated the management team has been discussing Council's desire to do
some strategic planning. Staff would like to meet with Council to provide them with as much
information as possible and to discuss any concerns to move forward with a budget. Staff would
like to focus on a five-year plan. Mayor Larson asked if Council wanted to meet with staff
before or after Council has their own retreat. Police Chief Lindquist stated if Council meets with
staff first, Council may have answers to questions that come up during Council's discussion.
Meeting with staff after Council's retreat, Council may be more focused on the topics you want
to discuss. Council reached a consensus to have a Council retreat before meeting with staff, but
to have the dates close together. Saturday, March 19, 9:00 a.m. was set for Council and staff to
meet for strategic planning. It will be held at the Maintenance Facility. Council will meet on a
Thursday afternoon before March 19. There will not be a facilitator and each Councilmember
should bring three items to focus on.
Franchise Fees
The City Engineer and Finance Director prepared information on the road and bridge fund. They
obtained current balances and provided information through 2027. At the end of the system,
there will be a positive fund balance. Nothing more will go into this fund. Any future projects
will be their own fund. Councilmember May asked staff to provide the actual costs for the
projects included in the road and bridge fund. Staffwill provide the construction cost and the
fmancing cost for each project in this fund.
There were several questions from audience members and discussion between Counci~ staff and
the audience on project funding and road maintenance.
After a discussion, Council asked staff to bring back options to pay for seal coating through a
levy or through franchise fees. There was a concern in the ordinances regarding the utility
companies being allowed to charge a surcharge fee. Council asked that the City Attorney review
this language. In December, staff had presented several options for franchise fees.
13
Council Workshop Minutes
February 14,2011

Councilmember Fogarty preferred option C which charges a franchise fee of $2.20 per month for
residential and business properties.
Public Information Discussion
Council and staff discussed who at City Hall should residents and the media contact for
information. CounciImember Fogarty contacts department heads directly and they have shared
that information with the City Administrator. City Administrator Herlofsky stated if information
goes out to the public, Council looks to him to manage it or make sure it is correct. Everyone is
treated fairly. As far as reporters, he encourages them to call him as he is the best one to help
them fmd the right person. He wants to make sure the correct information goes out. He has
asked department heads to be careful with giving out information when the correct person is not
available. He has worked to make sure information flows freely. All reporters do not talk to him
first. We try to manage it in a way that is correct and as timely as possible. CounciImember
May wanted to make sure there is open communication and to understand how things operate.
She felt people should be able to call department heads directly. CounciImember Fogarty felt the
media should contact the City Administrator directly. Mayor Larson wants everyone to have
equal and fair access and be sensitive to deadlines. City Administrator Herlofsky does not want
department heads and staff to be gophers at the last minute because of a deadline that does not
affect our operations. There is cooperation and effort to get back to reporters. Things are being
done fairly and they would not be done any other way. Council agreed everyone is on the same
page. CounciImember Bartholomay confIrmed anyone can call department heads. City
Administrator Herlofsky noted that is being done now. He does tell department heads if there
are questions which put them in an uncomfortable situation they should forward the call to him.

INTRODUCTION
The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRP A) is offering a National Playground Safety Institute
(NPSI) Playground Inspector Course (the Course). The Course will be held April 13 and 14, 2011 in St Louis
Park, MN.
DISCUSSION
The NPSI is a national organization whose focus is to educate and train people on playground equipment safety.
Information about how to properly inspect playground equipment is presented during the two days of the
Course. All meals during the two days of the Course are included with the registration fee.
A request is being made to send Dan Thielbar, a park maintenance staff member, and Jeremy Pire the Facilities
and Parks Maintenance Supervisor to the Course. The request for two staff members is being made because Mr.
Thielbar would be the primary playground equipment inspector for the City and Mr. Pire would serve as the
backup inspector. Mr Pire is also fairly new to the supervision of parks maintenance and it would be especially
beneficial for him and the City to attend so he has a good understanding of playground equipment inspections
and safety.
Both staff members will share with other Parks Maintenance staff the information they learn while participating
in the Course. The goal of having both staff members attend the Course is so that they are able to thoroughly
understand and inspect playground equipment for hazards and to ensure that the City's playground equipment
complies with federal and state safety and accessibility standards and guidelines. The Course provides both of
them with an excellent opportunity to receive the training needed on playground safety inspection requirements
and practices. Components of the Course include: identifying hazards, looking for specific safety concerns,
reviewing and learning about safety standards and guidelines, ensuring that playground equipment complies
with accessibility laws, providing proper safety surfacing under playground equipment, developing proper risk
management tools and making sure the playground equipment is designed in a safe manner.
BUDGET IMPACT
The registration fee if paid before March 9th is $415 per person which includes two days of classes all course
materials and all meals. After March 9th the registration fee increases to $465 per person. Funding is available
in the 2011 budget to send both staff member to the Course. Additionally there will be an estimated fuel cost of
$30 to use a City vehicle to travel the two days to the Course.
ACTION REOUESTED
By motion, approve this request.

Dakota County Outdoor Warning Siren Activation System
DATE: February 22,2011
INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION
Public out door warning sirens within Dakota County are activated via radio from the DCC. The
current warning sirens use ''wide band" radio technology that must be retired prior to January 1,
2013. The radio conversion from wide band to narrow band operation is required by published
FCC Rules. A staff work group from the County and the Cities has examined the issue and
recommended upgrades to the siren warning activation method. The group has further
considered and recommends standards for:
1. Improved operational performance; and,
2. Two-way configuration of the system that would permit individual communities or siren
owner/operators to monitor and know if a siren(s) was activated or was otherwise ready
for activation; and,
3. Faster and more secure activation technologies that could be implemented as part of FCC
narrowband compliance; and,
4. A structure to permit fmancial assistance from Dakota County grants for siren owners
that elect to utilize the strategies recommended by the Siren Work Group.
At their October 16,2008 meeting, the DCC Board adopted an Agreement with Dakota County
which establishes responsibilities for outdoor warning siren activation and central transmission
equipment maintenance. This Agreement continued the past practice of making individual
communities responsible for their local siren equipment.
The siren Work Group reviewed various technologies and operational concepts relating to siren
activation and monitoring. The Work Group also explored opportunities to expedite and
simplify siren activation for DCC staff based upon migration to a common activation technology
for more than 115 outdoor warning sirens within Dakota County.
26
In order to achieve the recommendations of the Outdoor Warning Siren work group it will be
necessary for all siren owner/operators to adopt a common signaling method. The common
signaling method must be compatible with narrow band FCC regulatory requirements and
suitable equipment purchases and programming modifications to the activation equipment used
by the DCC will be necessary.
BUDGET IMPACT
The City of Farmington currently operates seven (7) outdoor warning sirens. The estimated
average upgrade cost per siren is $1,450.00 for a total of$10,150.00 to upgrade all seven sirens.
The board has recommended a 50/50 cost sharing solution using VASI grant dollars through
Dakota County. This would ultimately reduce the Cities cost to approximately $5,075.00. A
contingency of $2,500.00 is also recommended. A total of $7,075.00 will be added to the 2012
Emergency Warning Siren Budget.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve the attached resolution authorizing the re-banding of all warning sirens within the City.

RESOLUTION No. R13-11
Outdoor Warning Siren System Narrow Banding
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of
Farmington, Minnesota, was held in the Council Chambers of said City on the 22nd day of
February 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
Members Present:
Members Absent:
Larson, Bartholomay, Donnelly, Fogarty, May
None
Member Fogarty introduced and Member Bartholomay seconded the following:
WHEREAS, in 2007 the Dakota Communications Center (DCC) began to provide 9-1-1 call
answering, public safety radio dispatching, and related Public Safety Answering Point (pSAP)
services to the citizens and visitors of Dakota County; and,
WHEREAS, in 2008 the DCC and Dakota County (County) entered into an Agreement
relating to the maintenance, operation, and support for certain fixed radio communications and
signaling equipment used to activate individual outdoor warning sirens located in various
communities and townships within or near Dakota County; and,
WHEREAS, individual outdoor warning sirens are owned and maintained by various entities
including cities, townships, and private enterprises (e.g. Xce1 Energy); and,
WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established Rules and
Regulations which require the reconfiguration of radio transmitters and receivers used in
conjunction with the outdoor warning siren system by January 1,2013; and,
WHEREAS, the aforementioned transmitter/receiver reconfiguration is commonly known as
the First Phase Narrow Banding requirement; and,
WHEREAS, failure to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations may subject the County
and/or the Cities to possible sanctions including loss of FCC license authority and/or fines; and,
WHEREAS, representatives of the Cities and Dakota County staff (Work Group) have been
planning a method to narrow band equipment used by the DCC to activate outdoor warning
sirens as well as individually owned/operated sirens across the County; and,
WHEREAS, the DCC Joint Operations Committee has reviewed and recommended the Work
Group recommendations to the DCC joint power's board.
WHEREAS, the Work Group has recommended a migration strategy including funding
assistance to local communities to narrow band individual siren radio transmitter/receivers using
technology that will provide additional redundancy, faster signaling methods, and capability for
future siren status monitoring.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That The City of Farmington hereby endorses and recommends the adoption of the Work
Group's outdoor warning siren narrow banding plan.
This resolution adopted by recorded vote of the Farmington City Council in open session on the
22nd day of February 2011.

FROM:
Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution - Vacating a Portion of Dunbury Avenue - Riverbend Subdivision
DATE:
February 22, 2011
INTRODUCTION
Mattamy Homes has petitioned the City for the vacation of a portion of Dunbury Avenue within the
Riverbend Subdivision. Per Section 8-6-12 of the City Code, a public hearing must be held at the City
Council in order to vacate any public rights-of-way.
DISCUSSION
Attached, for the Council's consideration, is a resolution authorizing the vacation of the portion of
Dunbury Avenue depicted and legally described in Exhibit A. Mattamy Homes is in the process of
replatting the northern 11 acres of the Riverbend Subdivision and are requesting the portion of Dunbury
Avenue shown in Exhibit A be vacated The Riverbend 4th Addition replat incorporates residential lots
into that existing right-of-way petitioned to be vacated. The portion of right-of-way (stub road) to be
vacated was platted with the original Riverbend Subdivision in 2005. At that time, it was anticipated that
an east/west county road would be constructed on the northern side of this development that Dunbury
Avenue would eventually connect to. Since that time, the alignment of that county road has shifted
further north into the City ofLakeville. Additionally, the location of a county wetland bank directly north
of the Riverbend Subdivision makes for the extension of the Dunbury Avenue north beyond the
development extremely difficult and expensive. Due to the aforementioned conditions, the portion of
right-of-way identified in Exhibit A is no longer warranted and should be vacated.
On January 18, 2011, the City Council approved the Riverbend 4th Addition preliminary plat with the
contingency that the portion of Dunbury Avenue depicted in Exhibit A be vacated.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution vacating the portion of Dunbury Avenue right-of-way as depicted and
legally described in Exhibit A.
Respectfully submitted,
Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner
Cc: Tom Wolter, Mattamy Homes

TO: Mayor, CounciImembers and City Administrator
FROM: Brenda Wendlandt, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: City Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual
DATE: February 22,2011
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information regarding the changes made to the
City's Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual. The complete manual, in draft form, is
attached.
DISCUSSION
Over the past year, City staff has reviewed and revised the City's administrative policies and
procedures. Many ofthe changes being made were required to ensure compliance with state and
federal statutes, rules and regulations. Though a number of the policies or procedures either did
not change or did not substantially change, staff wanted to provide the manual in its entirety.
Additionally, based on previous direction from Council, work continues regarding the revision of
other items in this manual; however, until that work is completed, the current policy remains in
effect and is what is reflected in this document (i.e. group insurance).
The following policies and procedures reflect those with the most significant changes:
Policy or Procedure
Minnesota Personnel Record Review and Access Act
Harassment/Sexual Harassment
Global Positioning Systems: Location and Monitoring
Policy Implementing the Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee
Testing Act and Related Regulations
Discipline
Nepotism
Jury and Witness Duty
Voting Leave
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Military Leave
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Job-related Injury or Illness
Administrative Leave

Healthcare Continuation Coverage (COBRA) 125
Even though all employees are subject to this manua~ it is important to note that where ever the
City administrative po licies and procedures conflicts with a co llective bargaining agreement, the
collective bargaining agreement takes precedence.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve the changes to the attached Administrative Policies and Procedures manual.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Wendlandt, SPHR.

Section 4.4 - Probationary Period
The probationary period is regarded as an integral part of the hiring process and is used for evaluating an
employee's work performance, allowing the employee to adjust to a new position, and for dismissing any
employee who is not capable of meeting minimum performance standards. Employees remain "at will"
both during and following the probationary period.
The City requires all regular employees to serve a probationary period of employment whether it is for a
new position, a promotion, a transfer, or a demotion. During this time, employees have the opportunity to
show their ability to meet the standards of work performance wb.U~, they get to know the job and co-

There are operatio~il~f~.9pirements'lahin the City that do not afford an employee time away from their

their job duties during the;~~Br~';:::2i'i-est break as circumstances warrant. Therefore, these lunch breaks
shall be compensated as part O;iylligular eight (8) hour shift.
'....~rf~::..
Procedure
Employees are required to notify their supervisor as determined by department policy, or no less than
thirty (30) minutes from their normal starting time, if they are unable to come to work or if they will be
late for work. Failure to use established reporting process will be grounds for disciplinary action.
Employees who are absent for 3 days or more and who do not report the absence in accordance with the
terms of this policy will be considered to have voluntarily resigned not in good standing.

In genera~ the length of the workday cannot be shortened by eliminating rest breaks or lunch periods. In
special circumstances, Department Directors have the authority to authorize this on an occasional basis as
long as regular department operations remain unaffected.
Limited Flex Time
Department Directors are authorized, but not required, to approve flex-time scheduling for employees

Section 5.2 - Exempt Employees Paid Leave and Flexible Scheduling
The City of Farmington has classified each position as either exempt or non-exempt in accordance with
State and Federal employment law. An exempt employee is exempt from overtime and paid for the
position responsibilities not for hours worked. The following paragraphs outline the policy and procedure
for using accrued leave if you are an exempt non-bargaining employee. Exempt employees within a
collective bargaining unit should refer to the appropriate contract language within the collective
bargaining agreement.
Because exempt employees are paid for the duties they perfo~::::~i~)have more flexibility in their work
schedules which affects how paid leave is used. This infOl'l!ml!9p::::is in addition to the procedures that
may be outlined in the Vacation and Sick Leave policies.;:(J@lfm%"

official. The City will not use the employee's direct supervisor for this contact. Before the City makes this
direct contact with the health care provider, the employee will be given an opportunity to resolve any
deficiencies in the medical certification. In compliance with HIP AA Medical Privacy Rules, the City will
obtain the employee's permission for clarification of individually identifiable health information. If the
employee does not authorize the City to contact the employee's health care provider to clarify
information, an employer may deny FMLA leave.
Recertification: The City may request recertification for a serious health condition no more frequently

necessary. Leave may be taRinkin.::irlifements as small as one hour. The employee must make a reasonable
effort to schedule treatment~tl::::~:r~ not to disrupt the employer's operation. Further, subject to any
continuous leave hours being granted. the employee must first use any accrued vacation, compensatory
time, personal or sick leave fIrst, before a request for unpaid intermittent leave is considered. If the
intermittent leave involved is greater than 20% of the working days during the period over which the
leave extends, the City Administrator, upon consultation with the Department Director, may direct that
the employee be transferred temporarily to an alternate equivalent position so as to minimize the effects
that the leave would cause on the operations of the respective City department. Any such alternate
position shall be one for which the employee is qualified and shall include the same pay and benefIts, and
the same terms and conditions of employment as the employee's full-time position.

Notice Requirement: In either case of continuous or intermittent unpaid leave, an employee must
provide a 30 day notice of the qualifying event to the Human Resources Director or designee. In cases
where the qualifying event will occur within 30 days, the employee must provide notice either that same
day or the next business day. Notice of need for unforeseeable leave must be given as soon as practicable
under the facts and circumstances of the employee's need for the leave, in accordance with the City's
requirements for notice ofleave.
Employees must provide sufficient information for the City to determine if the leave may qualify for
FMLA protection and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave. Sufficient information may include
that the employee is unable to perform job functions, the famjlylmember is unable to perform daily
activities, the need for hospitalization or continuing treatment Q}f:iili~~alth care provider, or circumstances
supporting the need for military family leave. Employees alsd:iffi1~i.. inform the City if the requested leave
