APIF, motion carried. Water Efficiency Grant Public Works Director Gehler presented information on the water efficiency grants that the Met Council is offering again. Met Council Representative Wendy Wulff shared information on this program at a recent city council meeting. This program offers the city the opportunity to collaborate with the Met Council to make grants available to residents for certain purchases that help with water conservation. This is similar to a program the city offered over a year ago that had 23 people participating. The city is required to provide 25%of the funding if approved by the Met Council. Cities may apply for up to $50,000 of funding. Gehler was looking for direction on whether the city wanted to offer the program to residents. Mayor Larson asked how much administrative work is involved in the program. Gehler stated there is work involved in operating this type of program. Councilmember Craig asked how it would benefit Farmington. Gehler stated the benefit would come in the form of water conservation. Gehler shared the estimates on how much water was saved metro wide with the last program offered. Councilmember Bernhjelm stated that it is a minimal cost and supported offering it to residents. August 5,2019 Work Session Minutes - 1- Councilmember Hoyt clarified the financial impact on the city. Councilmember Craig asked if this program was only for upgrades. Gehler stated it is only for upgrades, not new construction. The consensus of the city council was to apply for the grant at an amount based on our history, likely in the$10,000 to $15,000 area. New Water Tower Public Works Director Gehler reviewed the plans for a new water tower. The 2040 Comp Plan looked at water needs in the community for the next 20 years. The city is looking at a new two million gallon water tower in the north part of the city. Gehler shared that a feasibility report will need to be performed to start to look at issues and answers to questions that exist today. A water tower typically needs about two acres of land but we should be looking at other potential city land needs with this future purchase. Councilmember Donnelly asked how we connect to the water grid. Gehler stated that the tower project would need to include connections to existing infrastructure no matter where it is located. Councilmember Bernhjelm asked about continued discussions with Empire Township on their water needs. Gehler stated that discussions continue but they are headed in the direction of the city building and owning the water tower and the township potentially purchasing water in the future if needed. Councilmember Donnelly asked about using the Daisy Knoll site for a future tower. Gehler stated there are many issues to consider when placing a tower. This site will be included in the feasibility study. Councilmember Bernhjelm asked about the project timeline. Gehler stated at this point it includes construction starting in 2020 and being completed in 2021. Discussion took place about project funding. The city council would like to avoid bonding for this project if possible. The consensus of the city council was to move forward with the feasibility study on the new water tower.

FarmingtonMN.gov TO: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator FROM: Gary Rutherford, Police Chief SUBJECT: Approve Out of State Training-Police DATE: August 12, 2019 INTRODUCTION In 2010, the Farmington Police Department joined with seven other Dakota County law enforcement agencies to form the DCLEA(Dakota County Law Enforcement Agencies). The DCLEA is a joint powers agreement to have Dakota County CJN host a new records management system(RMS) for our collective use. This initiative occurred at a time when LOGIS (who had hosted our previous RMS system)was in the process of selecting a new offering as well. The product the DCLEA chose was ProPhoenix Records. Since the implementation of this system, Farmington has saved approximately$237,000 in RMS costs compared to if we had gone with the LOGIS offering. DISCUSSION Each year, ProPhoenix holds an advanced training conference. This conference allows attendees to become familiar with new upcoming features in the software, as well as have face-to-face contact with the ProPhoenix developers and support staff. In addition, this conference provides networking opportunities with other users of the product from around the United States. Staff has attended this conference in past years. This year the conference is being held at the Kahlari Resort and Convention Center in the Wisconsin Dells, WI, September 30, 2019 to October 3, 2019. The conference registration fee is $525 per attendee, which includes all meals during the conference. However, the DCLEA pays the conference registration fee for two members of each agency every other year. This year is Farmington's turn. The lodging cost per attendee is the responsibility of the agency, which will be approximately$377 per attendee. There will be no direct transportation costs as a department vehicle will be driven. Most meals are provided at the conference. BUDGET IMPACT The cost of lodging for this conference is approximately$754 and is included in the 2019 Police Administration training budget. ACTION REQUESTED Staff requests that Sondra Baar and Amy Mailhot be approved to attend the 2019 ProPhoenix Advanced Training Conference.

DISCUSSION Staff is requesting that city council approve the attached policy for the Cellular Phones and Wireless Communications Policy. Beginning on August 1, 2019, the State of Minnesota has a Hands-Free Law regarding the use of cellular phones and wireless communications while driving. Based on this new law,the city is updating our Administrative Policies and Procedures, Section 3.9- Cellular Phones, Smart Phones and Personal Digital Assistants, to Cellular Phones and Wireless Communications Devices, to comply with the new law. As detailed in the policy, the reading/composing/sending text messages, initiating or engaging in phone or video calls, taking a photograph or video, scrolling, typing, accessing a web page, playing games, viewing or selecting stored device content, or using any other software applications or features while driving without using voice activated or hands-free equipment is strictly prohibited. There is a state law exemption for authorized emergency vehicles while in the performance of official duties, however we ask these employees use also good judgment. BUDGET IMPACT Any funds needed to purchase hands-free devices is included in the 2019 budget. ACTION REQUESTED Approve the attached policy for inclusion in the Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual. ATTACHMENTS: Type Description D Backup Material Section 3.9- Cellar Phones and Wireless Communications Section 3.9- Cellular Phones and Wireless Communications Devices This policy outlines the use of both City-provided and personal cellular phones and other wireless communications devices. The City provides cellular phones to employees who have a business necessity to telephone others or receive calls while outside of City buildings. Cellular phones are provided to employees for the sole purpose of enhancing the quality, timeliness, and overall service level of local government activities. Guidelines Cellular phones are intended for the use of City employees in the conduct of their work for the City. 1) All cellular services and billing plans provided by the City will be established by City Administration, and audited periodically. 2) Use of cellular phones should be limited to those necessary to perform assigned duties. 3) Reading/composing/sending text or email messages, initiating or engaging in phone or video calls, taking a photograph or video, scrolling, typing, accessing a webpage, playing games, viewing or selecting stored device content, or using any other software applications or features while driving without using voice activated or hands-free equipment is strictly prohibited. a. In accordance with State law, there is an exception to hands-free cellular phone operations when it is necessary to obtain life-threatening emergency assistance, to report a traffic accident, medical emergency, or serious traffic hazard, or to prevent a crime from being committed. There is also a State law exception for authorized emergency vehicles while in the performance of official duties. b. Using wireless radio equipment is not prohibited. c. Navigation applications may be viewed while driving solely for guidance purposes as long as the device is not held in hand. However, relying on only audible guidance instructions is strongly preferred. 4) All employees are expected to follow applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding the use of wireless communications devices at all times. Employees whose job responsibilities include regular or occasional driving, and who are issued a cellular phone for City business use, are expected to refrain from using their phones while driving. Safety must come before all other concerns. Regardless of the circumstances, and in accordance with Minnesota law, employees are required to either use voice activated or hands-free equipment or pull off the road and lawfully stop the vehicle before placing or accepting a call. Employees are encouraged to refrain from discussion of complicated or emotional matters and to keep their eyes on the road while driving at all times. Special care should be taken in situations where there is traffic or inclement weather, or when driving in an unfamiliar area. 5) Voice activated or hands-free equipment will be provided with City-issued phones to facilitate the provisions of this policy. 6) Employees who are charged with traffic violations resulting from the use of wireless communications devices while driving will be solely responsible for all liabilities that result from such actions. 7) Personal phone calls on both personal and City cellular phones at all times will be acceptable in those circumstances where it is urgent or an emergency. All personal phone calls should be kept to a minimum and be as brief as possible. 8) Text messaging on City cellular phones is only allowed for documented business purposes. If an employee receives a personal text message, the employee should notify the sender to refrain from sending text messages to the City cellular phone. 9) Regardless of who pays the bill, cellular phone records about City business are subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. What this means is that if a request were received, the City would be under the obligation to determine what information is public data and what information is private data and would need access to the employee's phone records, and possibly the device itself, in order to provide the data that is being requested. Therefore, the best practice is to limit usage of personal cellular phones for City business to that which is truly necessary—otherwise, the employee will be required to hand over your personal cellular phone and the associated records if needed. 10) Use of public resources by City employees for personal gain and/or private use including, but not limited to, outside employment or political campaign purposes, is prohibited and subject to disciplinary action which may include termination and/or criminal prosecution, depending on the circumstances. 11) While at work, employees are expected to exercise the same discretion in using their personal wireless communications devices as is expected for the use of City devices. City policies pertaining to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and confidential information apply to the use of personal devices for work-related activities. 12) Non-exempt employees are not expected to use cellular phones or other wireless communications devices for City business outside of working hours unless the employee has received approval from his/her supervisor in advance. 13) Supervisors may also prohibit employees from carrying their own personal cellular phones during working hours if it interferes with the performance of their job duties. 14) The City will not be liable for the loss of personal wireless communications devices brought into the workplace. Procedures It is the objective of the City of Farmington to prevent and correct any abuse or misuse of cellular phones through the application of this policy. Employees who abuse or misuse such cellular phones may be subject to disciplinary action. Responsibility The City Administrator, or designee, will have primary responsibility for implementation and coordination of this policy. All supervisors will be responsible for enforcement within their departments. Cellular Phone Allowance Upon request,the City may provide a cellular phone allowance in the amount of$45.00 per month in lieu of a City cellular phone, at the discretion of the City Administrator. If a cellular phone allowance is provided, the employee must provide documentation regarding the City cellular phone use upon request by the City.

DISCUSSION A donation in the amount of$129.00 was recently made by Happy Harry's Furniture to the RRC. The donation was made through a program created in 2011, in which a customer of Happy Harry's Furniture is able to select a charity of their choice to receive a donation when merchandise is purchased from the store. Then, 10% from the sale to the customer is donated to the charity. The RRC is one of the charities that can be selected by customers. With this most recent donation, Happy Harry's Furniture has donated a total of$11,495.94 to the RRC since the program's inception. This donation has been deposited into the RRC Capital Improvement Fund to fund future building improvements and/or purchase new equipment. Accepting this donation fits with the City Council's priority of forging partnerships with existing partners. Specifically it aligns with working with the business community to provide opportunities for partnerships, sponsorships and more. This partnership with Happy Harry's Furniture has been very beneficial over the long term given the funds that have been donated to the RRC. Staff will communicate the city's appreciation on behalf of the City Council to Happy Harry's Furniture for their generous donation to the RRC.

DISCUSSION Initial project quote packets were mailed in July to nine contractors experienced with this type of work. It was discovered during the initial solicitation of quotes that the plans and specs developed for the project did not include a few of the arena's existing railings. As a result of this, the project plans and specs had to be revised, so all railings were included in the project. After it was revised, it was then resent to contractors which is causing a delay in receiving quotes for the project. Solicitation of quotes for the revised project were mailed on August 5, 2019 to the same nine contractors with a new quote submittal deadline of on or before 11:00 a.m. on August 22, 2019. Because of this new deadline, the project contract will not come before the City Council until its September 3, 2019 meeting. This results in a lag of 12 calendar days that the contractor who submitted the lowest responsible bid could be mobilizing to start work on the project. Because it is imperative to have this project finished before the high school boys and girls seasons begin, a project deadline was set for November 1, 2019. Because of the delay from when the quotes will be received and when the contract will be awarded by the City Council, staff would like to receive authorization from the City Council to proceed working with the lowest responsible bidder in order to provide additional days to complete the project. BUDGET IMPACT The 2020 Building Maintenance Fund budget included funding in the amount of$75,000.00 for the project. Staff will communicate to the City Council the low quote submitted after all quotes have been received and tabulated in order to make the City Council aware of how the low quote compares to the project's budgeted amount. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is being asked to authorize staff to proceed moving forward with the project's lowest responsible bidder in order to have the project started as soon as possible, so it can be finished by the November 1, 2019 deadline. In addition, staff will have the City Council formally approve at its September 3, 2019 meeting a contract with the contractor submitting the lowest responsible bid.
