NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Crystal that the Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to renew the Conditional Use License Agreement with Hennepin County for access to the County's electronic digital data. Adopted this 6th day of January, 2009. ReNae J. Bowman, Mayor ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk G:\Council\Resolutions2009\010609.Henn Co License.doc Memorandum �Cf1�1STAL DATE: December 29, 2008 TO: Mayor and City Council Anne Norris, City Manager FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director C N SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution Making Annual Elections for the 2009 Insurance Policy Background There are many choices that must be made each year as part of the process of applying for the renewal of the City's insurance policies. Two of these choices must be made by the City Council, not the staff. One of these choices is whether or not to waive the statutory limit on tort liability. The other is whether or not to provide worker's compensation insurance for the City Council. Discussion Liability Insurance: The City must select one of three options for the statutory tort limit on liability claims. The options are as follows: 1. Do not waive the statutory tort limit. In this case, no individual will be able to recover more than $400,000 from the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will be limited to $1,200,000. These limits will change to $500,000 and $1,500,000 on July 1, 2009. 2. Waive the statutory tort limit but do not purchase excess liability insurance. In this case, an individual will be able to recover up to $1,200,000 from the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will still be limited to $1,200,000. This limit will change to $1,500,000 on July 1, 2009. 3. Waive the statutory tort limit and purchase excess liability insurance. In this case, an individual will be able to recover up to the limit of the coverage purchased by the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will still be limited to the coverage purchased by the City. The City of Crystal doesn't purchase excess liability insurance because our circumstances don't require it and the excessinsurance is quite expensive. This eliminates option 3 above. Workers Compensation Insurance for City Council Members: Unlike city employees, elected officials are not automatically covered by the worker's compensation law. Cities wishing to cover elected officials need to pass an ordinance or resolution to make the elected officials "employees" for purposes of worker's comp coverage. Providing the coverage means that a city council member who is injured while on city business would receive worker's compensation benefits. The risk of such an injury is low, but the benefits would be important to the individual if it happened. I estimate that the premium to provide this coverage to the entire city council will total less than $100 in 2009. Insurance Agent: The City of Crystal has used the Nesbit Agencies as its insurance agent for many years. A lump sum fee is paid to the agent instead of commissions which are a percentage of the insurance premiums. This fee was $7,000 for the 2008 insurance year and will remain at $7,000 for the 2009 year. I recommend staying with the Nesbit Agencies because their service has been good and there they have developed the knowledge of the city required to effectively carry out the function of the insurance agent. Conclusion I recommend that the Ci ' ty Council approve the attached resolution making elections for the 2009 insurance policy. zj:***1 ItiltIOUNZWWAIII �ESOLUTION MAKING ANNUAL ELECTIONS FOR THE 2009 INSURANCF POLICY WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to waive the statutory limit on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04, and WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to provide worker's compensation insurance for elected officials, and WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must appoint the insurance agent that will represent the city in dealing with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the City of Crystal does not waive the statutory limit on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04 for the 2009 insurance policy. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal elects to provide worker's compensation insurance for members of the City Council while on city business. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal appoints the Nesbit Agencies as its agent of record for purchasing insurance policies. Adopted by the Crystal City Council this 6th day of January, 2009. ReNae Bowman, Mayor ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk i F iii'll IlIZI, RESOLUTION APPROVING POLICE EQUIPMENT REVOLVING FUND EXPENDITURE FOR PURCHASE OF TWO POLICE PATROL VEHICLES WHEREAS, the City Manager's office has received and recommends approval of said appropriations, and WHEREAS, the appropriation is included in the 2009 Police Equipment Fund Budget, and WHEREAS, the City Council hereby acknowledges: 1. These police patrol vehicles will be equipped for use by police officers and community service officers. 2. Police vehicles represent a benefit to the City in terms of delivery of police service and are consistent with the City's long range goals, programs, and policies. 3. The most suitable source of funding is the Police Equipment Revolving Fund. 4. Per the Police Equipment Revolving Fund's Policy, there will be sufficient accumulated earnings to cover the appropriation without use of fund principal. WHEREAS, the City has a State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract bid quote for police vehicles. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL hereby accepts the state bid quote and appropriates monies from the Police Equipment Revolving Fund for the purchase of two police patrol vehicles. Cost to include purchase of the vehicle as well as necessary replacement and installation of accessory equipment not to exceed $34,000 per vehicle.

After reviewing previous meeting days and your suggestions from last year, the above date is being proposed. I sincerely hope that it is agreeable with your council. Minnesota Statutes require that in order to hold a local board of appeal and equalization meeting in 2009 there must be a quorum and at least one of the voting members must have attended the approved training. I would suggest that an informal review of your members with a request that they mark their calendars would be appropriate. I have attached additional information about the legislation and a summary of the duties and responsibilities of the local board of appeal and equalization. If your board has additional questions or need more information, please contact your local assessor. Please confirm the date as set out above or if you wish to change the date, call me with your alternative date by January 18, so that our valuation notices can be prepared on time. We suggest starting times of 6:30, 7:00 or 7:30 p.m., but will discuss alternatives with you if you wish a different time. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 612 348-3388. Your early completion and return of the attached tear off strip will be appreciated and we will send your official notice for posting as required by law.

In addition to the local assessor, the county assessor, or one of his/her assistants is required to attend. ® At least one member must be present at each meeting of the Local Board of Appeals and Equalization (beginning in 2006) that has attended an appeals and equalization course as developed and approved by the Commissioner of Revenue. a The valuation notices shall be in writing and be sent by ordinary mail at least ten calendar days before the meeting of the board. The valuation notice will include the dates, places and times set for the meetings of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization as well as the Hennepin County Board of Appeal and Equalization. ® The meetings must be held between April 1 and May 31 each year. The County Assessor shall fix a day and time when the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization . shall meet. The board must complete its work and adjourn within 20 days from the time of convening stated in the notice of the clerk, i.e., calendar days -- original night is day one. a The clerk shall give published and posted notice of the meeting at least ten days before the date of the meeting. ® Local Boards of Appeal and Equalization must see that all taxable property is properly assessed, valued, and classified for all current assessments. The board may consider both real and personal property. ® If any property has been omitted, the board must correct the assessment by adding it to the list of assessments along with its market value. ® The board may not increase or decrease by percentage all assessments in a district of a given class of property. Changes in the aggregate to assessments are by class and are made by the county board of equalization. ® Although the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization has the authority to increase or decrease individual assessments, the total of such adjustments must not reduce the aggregate assessment by more than one percent. If the total reductions would lower the aggregate assessments by more than one percent, none of the adjustments may be made.

Please present them to the City Council for approval at the City Council's meeting on January 7, 2009.

At the Hearing of December 23, he signed the Order but is holding it awaiting the City Council's approval of the Agreement. The Agreement calls for the City to pay the owner $105,000.00 as the settlement amount. We are to pay the Owner and his attorney $8,500.00 within five days following City Council approval. Under the Agreement the City is to deliver to me all photographs (and copies thereof, electronic or otherwise) of the interior of the house located on the Subject Property. Upon approval of the Agreement by the City Council, the City and Owner are agreeing in the Stipulation to issuance of an order requiring delivery by the City to the Owner of the photographs at the time of final payment. The City also is agreeing that no additional photographs should be taken inside the Subject Property pending final payment as long as the Owner is not in default under the Agreement. 344907v RJL CR225-311 vcHs0i 1 2. - Anne Norris December 29, 2008 Page 2 The Owner has until February 15, 2009 to remove all personal property and movable items present within the Subject Property except such materials which may be located in the lower level.

Therefore, I would be honored if you woqld like me to continue to serve in this capacity. 8. Feedback I'd like to give regarding the commission p Tom Mathiesen is a valuable asset on the TAC. We confer before most commission meetings regarding agenda items and how they may impact Crystal and the BCWMC in general. AsaTAC member hehelps explain the implications ofdifferent projects totheBC\NMC. • Stu Stockhaus takes his position as assistant commissiollpr very seriously and attends most meetings - something most assistant commissioners don't do. We also visit occasionally v(' ULa-n between commission meetings. This makes it much easier when I need to be gone as he is up to speed. O 1 am still convinced that the BCWMC would function more efficiently if we had an administrator, but I have reluctantly decided that because of the dire economic situation we are in that this is not the time to go forward with this position. Our current chair, Michael Welch, is an outstanding asset to us because of his extensive knowledge of watershed issues. Without him we would not function as well as we do. I hope we don't wear him out. We also have some outstanding commissioners. I feel so fortunate to be working with these fine people. ® 1 am anxious for the City of Crystal to make greater use of the exhibit pieces we have available to you. Please let me know if you have ideas of where and when you would like to use them. One of the problems we run into is that most cities want them in mid-April for Earth Day. I was in Michigan when the application for reappointment was due. My son and his family are moving from Michigan to Wisconsin and I was needed to help with the four young children while they are in the process of selling their home. John, who worked in management for Chrysler, is already working at his new job in Wisconsin. The six weeks I spent in Michigan witnessing how devastating the collapse of the auto industry is on a community was quite a sobering experience. When I returned home a week ago, I did a lot of soul searching before I decided to reapply. I am more convinced than ever that residents need to step up to the plate to help their cities in these challenging times. �-- TAL CITY CF CRYSTAL APPLICATION FOR REAPPOINTMENT FOR BOARDS or COMMISSIONS Return this application >Bassett Creek Watershed Employee Review Board Planning Commission Human Rights Commission )Shingle Creek Watershed by October 24, 2008 Charter Commission Environmental Quality Commission Joint Fire Board Parks & Recreation Commission NWHHSC 1.

Background The City of Crystal's Investment Policy calls for the designation of a bank as the official depository. As a matter of practice, the City Council has affirmed this selection at the first meeting of the year. Well Fargo Bank N.A. has been the depository for many years and has retained that position through several requests for proposal processes. The most recent RFP was done in late 1999. Discussion Wells Fargo provides the City with an extensive range of banking services. These include the following: Checking Account. This gives us the ability to write checks to pay for goods and services and to deposit revenues and fees received by the City. ACH transactions. All employee paychecks are in the form of direct deposit transactions and many transactions such as tax withholding payments to the federal and state governments are made this way. Wells Fargo provides a fraud filter that reduces the chance of loss through fraudulent transactions. Wire transfers. These are almost exclusively used to transfer money to other banks that serve as the paying agent for principal and interest payments on the City's bonded debt. Merchant banking. This is an essential component of the credit card service that enables the City to have the E -Permits and Crystal Connect programs. These are the services that allow customers to purchase certain building permits and register for recreation programs online.. Money market account. Money that isn't immediately needed in the checking account, but may be needed in the near future, is deposited in this account. Investment broker. Wells Fargo is one of the brokers from whom we purchase investment securities. The others are RBC Dain Rauscher and Wachovia Securities. Buying from several brokers enables me to direct more purchases to the broker who is providing the highest interest rates for the types of securities being purchased. Investment safe keeping. Securities purchased from any of the investment brokers are held at Wells Fargo Brokerage Services. The securities are protected by insurance from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $500,000 and by additional insurance up to $150,000,000 purchased by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has charged the City of Crystal $9,827.56 for these services (except merchant banking) for January through November 2008. Wells Fargo also credits the City a money market rate on the money that is in the checking account waiting for checks to clear. These earnings are offset against the charges for services, but aren't paid out to the city if they exceed the charges for services. Through November, the earnings credit equals $4,027.28, so the City owes Wells Fargo $5,800.28 for the services. The extremely low interest rates earned by the money in the checking account result in this net expense being much larger than in past years. Merchant banking fees paid for the credit card sales are a percentage of the sale plus a fixed fee per transaction. We surveyed merchant banks in 2006 at the start of the E -Permits and Crystal Connect programs and found that Wells Fargo's fees were competitive with the others. We decided that it will be more efficient for us administratively to have all the services under the Wells Fargo umbrella. Conclusion I recommend that the City Council approve the motion designating Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as the City's official depository for the year 2009.

Sincerely, ly, Bob Cole Vice President and Group Publisher In the Community ® With the Community ® For the Community Memorandum 'CRYSTAL C4 DATE: December 24, 2008 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Kimberly Therres, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: National League of Cities (NLC) Prescription Discount Card Program As a member of the National League of Cities, the City of Crystal has the opportunity to participate in a prescription discount card program. The program is designed to help residents cope with the high cost of prescription drugs. Residents who are without health insurance, have a traditional pharmacy benefit plan, or have prescriptions that are not covered by insurance may be able to save an average of 20% off the full retail cost of the prescription through this program. The NLC Prescription Discount Card program is in collaboration with CVS Caremark. There is no cost to the city to co-sponsor the program with the National League of Cities. Below are some questions and answers regarding the program: Q: Why is NLC sponsoring this program? A: NLC is always interested in expanding program opportunities to help its member cities provide a beneficial service to residents. NLC looked into the CVS Caremark Discount Card program and concluded that it was a low cost (no cost) — high benefit program for our member cities and that CVS Caremark experience and reputation were highly regarded. Q: What is CVS's role? A: CVS Caremark administers the program — providing the discount cards and the customer support. In addition, CVS provides communication tools to city staff for promoting the program. Q: If there is a 20% discount, who is making up the difference or why don't the providers just lower their cost? How does the program work so a 20% discount can be provided? A: The 20% discount is an average. Pharmacies agree to participate in the Caremark discount card program (more than 59,000 nationwide participate). One benefit that many pharmacies have identified is that the discount card brings people into the store, where they buy other products in an addition to their prescription. Q: That is the role of the City in this program? Is the City just a pass through or marketing tool? Why are cities needed in the program? A: The role of the city is to promote the program through the local media and distribute the discount cards at various locations around the city. Q: What other Minnesota Cities are participating in the program? What other cities nation wide are participating in the program? A: The program was announced in October 2008 and in the two months it has been available, only Robbinsdale is currently participating. Four cities — Madison, AL; Clarksburg, WV; Northglenn, CO; and Riverside, CA - have completed the eight week implementation process and are offering the discount cards to residents. However, there are more than 50 cities in the implementation process and are expected to launch the program in January. Q: What pharmacies are participating in the program, especially in Crystal? (Walgreens, CUB Foods, Target?) A: To locate the participating pharmacies, go to: www.caremark.com/nIc and see "Locate a Pharmacy" under the Quick Links. In a search for area pharmacies within 15 miles of City Hall, there are 100 participating pharmacies. Cub Foods, Walgreens and Target are participating pharmacies. Q: Can the City of Crystal choose not to participate in the program at any time? A: The city can choose to stop participating at any time. Any cards already in the hands of residents would still be valid. Information from the NLC website, a flyer and a copy of the discount card are attached. The City of Crystal is scheduled to roll out its program on January 17, 2009. A Newsletter article is also being planned to be included in the February/March issue. As part of the roll but, the City Council is requested to approve a Resoultion to Participate in the NLC Prescription Discount Card Program. Thank you for your consideration. Approving City Participation in NLC Prescription Discount Card Program Whereas many citizens of (City) are among the millions of Americans without health insurance or with limited prescription drug coverage, and; Whereas the National League of Cities is sponsoring a program in collaboration with CVS Caremark to provide relief to city residents around the country from the high cost of prescription drugs, and Whereas the NLC Prescription Discount Card Program will be available to member cities of NLC at no cost to those cities, and; Whereas CVC Caremark will provide participating cities with prescription discount cards, marketing materials and customer support, and; Whereas the discount cards offer an average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of most prescription drugs, has no enrollment form or membership fee, no restrictions based on the resident's age or income level, and may be used by city residents and their families any time their prescriptions are not covered by insurance, and; Now Be It Resolved by the City Council of the Crystal, Minnesota, that the City will inform the National League of Cities of its intent to participate in the NLC Prescription Discount Card Program and will work with NLC and CVS Caremark to implement the program to the benefit of the residents of Crystal.
