~om: Dep. S. Johnson, Andover
Date: 8-25-86
Subj: In ref. to the request for a report on speeding vehicles in the Red Oaks Add.
The following is in reference to a request made by Mayor Windschit1 for extra
patrol during the early part of May, 1986 due to the problem or complaints of speeding
vehicles, primarily in the area of 139 Ave. NW, east of Crosstown Blvd. NW.
After the request was made, this area has received special attention in the form
c::r extra patrol coverage and stationary radar, as the Sheriff's Office logs for
the City of Andover will indicate for the months of May and June. A high visibility
of a marked squad car in the area was maintained during the first two weeks after the
request was made by Mayor Windschit1. During this time, a citation for speed was issued
and on another occasion a 3-Whee1er was towed, as it was operating in an illegal manner
on the roadway.
The area of Red Oaks Add. still is patrolled on a regular basis to date. Since
this time of the request for extra patrol, I have personally not received any type of
c::>omp1aint while patrolling the City involving speeding vehicles in the area of 139 Ave.
It was my observation whi1e~perati"g stationary radar that the majority of the,
vehicles encountered were not exceeding the speed limit of 30 mph. by more than 4 or 5
miles per hour over this limit.
If there are further complaints of speeding vehicles on 139 Ave.. NW, I have not
,
.
been made aware of them in the form of a'radio call or complaint during the course of
my shift. If there is a problem... We will all be willing to once again concentrate
our patrol efforts as much as possible to remedy such complaints. All of the Andover
Deputies will be happy to cooperate in this matter.

The 80 foot strip that the County wants to split off and
attach to the parcel with the house is zoned Neighborhood
Business while the house is zoned R-4.
According to the Auditor's office, they can legally split
this without coming to the city because it is a repurchase
of a tax forfeit parcel. I explained the two different
zoning classifications to them. Jim in the Auditor's office
has written to Natalie Haas-Steffen but has not heard from
her as of today (8-26-86).

6a - Receive Budget
BY: Jim Schrantz
The City Council is requested to receive the proposed budget for 1987
and schedule a budget hearing.
Three (3) dates have been suggested: September 16th, 23rd or 30th.
The Budget is presented so the Council can review the summary of the
revenues and expenditures, review the LGA 280 form that shows the levy
limit and overlevy at a glance. The back-up budget showing each line
item is in the back with 1986 and 1987 on opposite pages.
The Council should note that summary of the 1986 estimated revenue doesn't
include the last revenue sharing payment and the expenditure summary shows
an over-budget expenditure under legal payments and insurance premiums
that are beyond our control.
The format this year is different than the past years. We prepared it
this way to eliminate a lot of copying and recopying of numbers. Also
the format is the same as the final budget. '

Re: Insurance and Liabil ity
Dear Jim:
At the last meeting you asked me about potential
liability for yourself and other members of the Lower Rum
River Watershed Organization as it relates to the insurance
or defense costs and indemnification. I told you that I
had drafted an ordinance for Brooklyn Park and a resolution
for Mound which were a little different, but that I would
share these things with you and that maybe you and the other
officers would like to have that kind of material incorporated
into your own ordinances. I think you will find that your
city councils will be quite sympathetic because it not only
applies to staff members, it also applies to planning com-
missioners, board.of zoning appeal members, park and recre-
ation members, etc; and I think it realistic in that it points
out the real world in which we all live making controversial
decisions.
At your direction, I am sending you a copy of these
documents and also sending a copy to each of the other com-
missioners and to Bob Johnson. If you have any questions or
comments concerning the material, please let me know.
Very truly yours,
~' ~

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INDEMNIFICATION OF DEDUCTIBLE
AMOUNTS FOR PUBLIC OFFICERS
WHEREAS, the City currently has a policy of insurance
providing protection for public officers and an employee's liability
policy, and
WHEREAS, said policy contain s a $200 deductible, and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 466.07 provides that the Council
may defend, save harmless, and indemnify any of its officers and
employees, whether elective or appointive, against any tort claim
or demand, whether groundless or otherwise, arising out of an alleged
act or omission occurring in the performance of duty, and
HHEREAS, under Subd. la of Section 466.07, the statute
states, "Each municipality or any instrumentality thereof shall
indemnify and provide defense for any employee or officer against
judgments or any amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with any tort claim or demand arising out of
an alleged act or omission occurring within the scope of his employment
or official duties, subject to the limitations set forth in
section 466.04",
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MOUND CITY COUNCIL:
1. The City shall reimburse or pay the $200 deductible
amount contained in the current public officer and employee liability
policy.
2. City officers, whether elected or appointed, shall be
protected against any tort claim or demand and shall be protected
and indemnified in accordance with the provisions of M.S.A. 466.07.

Section 201:100
o
Section 201:100. Defense and Indemnification of Officers and
Employees of the City.
Subd.1. Pur~ose. In recent years there has been a loss
of sovereign ~unity for municipal functions and employees
and a trend has developed wherein municipalities, their
officers, employees and agents have b~en joined in litiga-
tion and a number of these lawsuits have been filed naming
officers, employees and agents'individua11y in lawsuits.
As a result of this trend in the law, it becomes more
difficult to obtain the services of citizens who are re-
luctant to volunteer for service in municipal government
and to assume individual 1iabil ity Hhen acting in behalf
of the City. City council members, employees and office~s
are in the normal course of events participants in many
controversial decisions which result in lit ig at ion and
&Jbject the individuals to concern regarding personal
liability.
o
It is the purpose of this ordinance to unequivocally state
that the City of Brooklyn Park will protect its City
officials elected or appointed, including members of the
Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, Park and
Recreation Commission, and other Commissions appointed by
the City Council in performing their duties to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare. Public officials
must be in a position to make decisions when they ar~
needed and to act to implement decisions of the City
Council. Action on controversial subjects and implementing
policy decisions can and will result in errors on the part
of an employee or an elected or appointed official, and it
is determined that it is better that said officials act and
risk some error and possible injury from such actions rather
than not to act at all.
The public health, safety and general welfare will be pro-
moted and preserved by providing assurances to these
individuals that they will be supported by the municipality
in carrying out their official duties.
Subd. 2. Defense and Indemnification. The City shall
defend, save harmless and 1ndemnify any of its officers and
employees, whether elected or appointed, and specifically
including members of its advisory commissions, against any
tort, claim or demand, whether groundless or otherwise,
arising out of an alleged act or omission occurring in the
performance of their duty. This responsibility to defend
and indemnify does not apply in cases of malfeasance in
office or willful or wanton neglect of duty.
o
Section 201:100 added by Ordinance #1979-310(A)
Section 201:100
Subd. 3
o
Subd. 3. Defense Counsel. The City Council will designate
the City Attorney or legal counsel representing an insurance
carrier for the City to defend the City's employees and
officers against all such lawsuits wherein the employee or
officer is individually named as a defendant. The City
shall continue to represent the employee or officer if the
decision is appealed to a higher court, or the City Council
may authorize the appeal of any decision against the officer
or employee to a higher court.
Subd. 4. Right to Personal Counsel. The provisions of this
Section of the administrative code shall not supersede or
preclude the officer's or employee's right to retain at his
own expense his personal legal counsel to provide for his
defense. The determination as to whether to use the City's
legal counsel, for which the City shall be responsible for
defense costs, or whether the officer or employee chooses to
use his own individual counsel at his own expense, shall be
at his option, and if the official selects his own attorney,
this shall relieve the City from all present and future
obligat ions as they relate to any defense' or indemnification
of the officer or employee for the alleged tort, claim or
demand.
