SPECIAL USE AND VARIANCE - CASEY'S C-STORE: Chuck Twedtand Chad Carlson
discussed the Specia! Use and Variance request. The Planing Commission held a public
hearing to consider a Special Use Permit to allow a convenience store in a General Business
Zone and to allow a variance for construction of a Pylon sign. The Planning· commission found
the proposed use consistent with the standards for a Special Use Permit as stated in City
Ordinance. The findings of the Planning Commission were:
. Granting of such variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege. that is denied
by this Ordinanc~ to other lands in the same district. - Finding - The City has in the past
allowed such sig~s to be constructed and the petitioner would be denied that same right.
I
. The ordinancere1qUireS that such structurewill not impair an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent property or diminish or impair established propertyvalues within the surrounding
area, or in any other respect impair the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the
City. Finding - T~e alternative ground sign proposed which could be constructed under the
. guidelines of the .ordinance may impair surrounding qualities.

Variance and Specia,l Use Permit as requested; seconded by Ehlert. Discussion - Niedenfuer

ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF MILLER, BORESCH PROPERTIES: Mayor Hiemenz stated
these properties were zoned Commercial prior to annexation, but with the annexation resolution
the property came into the City as Residential. It would be appropriateto reconsider the zoning

to look at the process as well.

US West Communications, to request consideration of a lease to allow hiscompany to install
three antennae on thewater tower, with peripheral equipment installed near the base of the
tower. The Mayor and City Attorney have been in contact with him negotiating an agreement
with market rate rents. It was àgreed to placethe rent at $1.50 per foot. Nielsen asked to be
allowed to move the location of the equipment to be placed on the ground, counterclockwise as
far as necessary to remove itfrom existing conditions that would interfere with the equipment.
Niedenfuer asked about screening the equipmentand aesthetics. Nielsen stated shrubbery of .
the City's choosing, would be placed around the equipment, leaving adequate space for
maintenance. Niedenfuer stated she would not be in favorof the equipment being closer to
College Avenue.
Other items discussed were that the antenna would be paintedwith the same color, type and
brand of paint as the water tower; insurance will require a 30 day written notice of cancellation
clause; rent forfuture additional antenna will be based at the current rate with C.P.I. increases.

drafted by the City Attorney and agreed on by the City Council for the City of St. Joseph,
contingent upon determining a mutually agreeable location; seconded by Loso.

COUNCILORS Board and was again elected for the coming year.
Bob Loso 3) The St. Joseph ARartments, Inc. holds an annual meeting each year at the end of

Re: 998 property/casu~lty dividend - calculations and outlook
i
How is your city's diVidJd determined? ·
The LrplUS that LMCIT Jas at anyone time is the cumulative result of all of the cities'
premtums and losses sincb LMCIT began. Cities that have been members the longest, that have
contr~buted the most in pr~miums, and that have had fewer losses have in effect contributed more
to creating that surplus. 1[he dividend formula is designed to return a proportionally greater
share of the total dividend to those cities.
I
. As in the past, each city's bhare is proportionate to the difference between that city's total earned
prem urns and total incurr~d losses (net of deductibles) for all the years the city has participated
in L:11C1T. The formula also incorporates a "loss limiting factor" which tempers the effect a
singl11arge "s,hock" loss can have on the city's dividend. Without this kind oflimitation, a small
or mi~-sized city that happened to be hit by a single catastrophically large loss might not receive
any jVidend for many years.
i
The·· ividend calculation
The erc10sed sheet showsithe premium and loss figures that were used to calculate your city's
dividrd. The premium figure is your city's total of all earned premiums through May 31" , for
all of the years the city has been a member. The "adjusted loss" figure is your city's losses for
aU yers of participation,j>:mus applicable deductibles: and after."cappmg" each individual,large
loss. For purposes of the dIvIdend formula, each mdIvIdualloss IS capped at the lesser of either
the city's earned premium for that year or $100,000.
To c~culate the dividend,¡we subtract your city's adjusted losses from your earned premiums,
The 1mainder represents your city's contribution to the surplus. We do that same calculation for
all of the member cities, afid up all of those remainders, and then calculate your city's remainder
as a percentage of that tot*1. Your city receivesthat percentage of the $10 million total.

Should we expect similar dividends in thefuture? .
Trying to predict future dividends is at best an uncertain proposition, because it really depends
on what the losses turn out to be. Thenext couple years are especially uncertain because. of the
Year 2000 (Y2k) issue. There's just no way to predict with any certainty what sort ofJlosses and
claims Y2k problems will cause for cities. It might be negligible, it might turn out to be
catastrophic, or it might turn out to be somewhere in between.
The LMCIT Board has set funds aside to cover anticipated Y2k losses, even if the losses are well
above our best (admittedly very uncertain) projections. IfY2k-related losses turn outto be lower
than what we've projected, those funds wouldn't be needed and could then be available:: to be
returned to the members as a dividend. ··If cities'effortsto address Y2k problems are as good as
we anticipate, we think. there's a reasonable chance that that's what we'll see. On the other hand,
Y2k could also turn out to be a loss and litigation nightmare for cities and everyone else. A year
and a half from now, we'll have a pretty good idea. Until then, we can only guess.
For purposes of financial planning, here are the key points to keep in mind:
· In preparing city budgets, don't rely on there being future dividends. LMCIT will return
funds that aren't needed for losses, expenses, or reserves, but we can never guarantee how
much if any unneeded funds will be available to be returned in any future year.
· The long-term trend should be for smaller dividends in the future. As we've reduced overall .
rate levels, the safety margin in the rates is smaller. That margin is what produces the
dividend if losses come in at or below projections.
· Y2k is a big unknownfor the next couple years.
Because LMCIT has been able to return sizable dividends for several years in a row, some cities
have begun to build those amounts into their budgets. If your city does so, we'd caution you to
make sure that you have a plan for what you'd do if there is no 1999 dividend or if it's
substantially smaller than it has been.
We'll do our best to run the program as economically as we can. LMCIT will return to the
members any funds that aren't needed for losses, expenses, or reserves. But we can't guarantee
that there will always be a sizable dividend, or any dividend at all. It's important to keep that in
mind when you're doing your financial planning.
Those uncertainties aside though, we want to congratulate member cities on another very
successful year. After the worst run of storm losses in LMCIT's history, we're still able to return
a substantial dividend and even bring rates down a bit. And LMCIT is in good shape to help
cities deal with the unique risks and problems thatY2k poses. None of this would be possible if
cities hadn't put the effort into controlling losses and made the commitment to cooperating
through LMCIT.

Re: 1998 LMCIT dividends
As y~m know, the LMCIT property/casualty program is returning $10 million to member cities as
a div~dend this year. Members of the LMCIT workers compensation program will also share in a
$5 m~llion dividend to be distributed in April, 1999. We'd like to congratulate you on what your
. city ijas accomplished by cooperating through LMCIT and by your commitment to reducing
claims and losses.
We've enclosed a chart showing your city's share of this year's LMCIT property/casualty
divid~nd, how that compares with your premiums, and what your city's past premiums and
divid~nds have been. The amount of each city's dividend depends on the city's total premiums
and l~sses for all the years the city has been a member of LMCIT. The longer your city has
been ~ member and the more successful it has been in avoiding losses, the greater your city's
dividènd.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
LMCIT's premium rates have been stable or declining over that same period. LMCIT's liability .
rates are now lower than they've been since the early 1980's. LMCIT work comp rates for 1999
are just over half of the 1992 rates. At the same time, LMCIT has been able to continue: to
improve the coverage to respond to city needs. The coverage for claims arising from YI:::ar 2000
problems - a risk that private insurers seem almost universally to be trying to avoid - is one more
example of how LMCIT tries to help cities meet new problems and needs as they arise.
How is this all possible? A lot ofthings go into it, but the most important is that cities have done
an outstanding job of controlling and avoiding losses. To do that takes both the support of the
city elected officials and the efforts of your city staff people. That commitment to controlling
losses is paying off for all of us.
As Minnesota city officials we can all be very proud of what we're accomplishing cooperatively
through LMCIT. AsLMCIT's Trustees, we offer you our congratulations.

[quote/rom mayor, city manager or clerk about city's participation inLMCIT's , , ,
.property/¿asualty program - We're very pleasantly surprised to receive adividend again this year: The
severe sto~ activitythis past spring had asignificant impact on Minnesota cities. (add anecdotes related
to your city's storm experience\ ifappropriate: Our city incurred over $---,--- from these storms.) We
weren't sufeto what extent the~elosseswould impact LMCIT's ability to return a dividend. Thankfully,
LMCIT's rinsurance bore the þuIk of these losses, so the impact on the trust wasn't that severe.]
An ther contributing faltor that enabled LMCIT to return a dividend this year: continued good
liability experience that more than offset the negative impact of the increased property losses. Liability is
a much bi5ger percentageofto~al LMCIT claims and losses than property, so even significant swings in
property losses don't have that great an impact overall.
Jim Antonen, Chair of the LMCIT Board of Trustees and City Manager of Moorhead, says,
"Cities have done an outstanding job of controlling and avoiding losses; To do that takes both the support
of the city fected officials and the efforts of city staff. That commitment to loss cootrol and protecting
our citizen from harm is paying off for all of us."
Thij is the 12" consecotive year in which the LMClT property/casualty program has retorned a
dividend to membercities. Thi~ year's $10 million dividend brings the total to over $100 million since
1987, whic is equal t031perc~nt of the cities' premiums for that period.

Situation
Several inoidentshave occurred in the lastfeviJ days around the UnìtedStatesìn wmch envelopes"
containing la white powder labeled as "anthrax" have been mailed or delivered to a variety of facilities "
(planned pr;enthood clinics, chhrches,and businesses). We expect tbistrend to continue resl11ting in
an. inCf.. easl.. d likelihood that MiF... esota Responders may soon be inVOlVed. in an anthrax threat'

· Responders can readily and¡ easily protect themselves.
· Media ~mpact has dramatiWly ìmpacted the level of response.
· These ~ncidents are crime sfenes, and potential hazardous materials incidents
· Immediiatehospitaliza.t:ìon of exposed persons is not necessary

I
. Guidelines for Facilities that luy receive anthrax threat lettersj
The follO'Tng recommendatiohs are based on input ftomtheM:N Dept. ofHealt:h;FBI, BCA, DEM.
and the ~ey. County Sheritt
If your o~ce receives a lettfr wbich allegedly contains anthrax or if you receive a request for
assistance IÎn such a matter; 1
1. Minile the number of JeoPle who come into contact with the letter by immediately limiting
access Ito the immediate aria in which the letter is discovered.
2. Ask th~ person who.disco~ered or opened the letter to place the letter into another container such
as a Plas~tiC ziplock bag or ~other envelope.
1
3. Notify 911 and the State Dµty Officer (651-649-5451). .
4. Move I "uninvolved" p..!Ple out of the immediate area to a holding area. .
5. Ask iJvolved people to r~ain calm until local public safety officials~. Anthrax is not an
imme9iate threat and must be inhaled to cause an infection. It is very difficult to keep anthrax
airborne due to it large particle size~ therefore airborne exposure is very unlikely.
6. Ask ¡Lived people to mi1mize their contact with the letter or their surroundings because the area
. is now a crime scene. I " .'
When the local and state auth6rities arrive; they will provide assi~ance with decontaminatloJJ., sample
transport ror analysis), and th~ logging of contact jnfonnation for involved and wùnvolved people.

MN. Dept. Children, Families & Learning

1500 Highway 36 West
Roseville, MN 55113-4266
December 15, 1998
Dear City Council Members and Municipal Utility Commissioners,
Happy Holidays fTom Reach Out for Warmth! As this year draws to a close, we have
many of you to thank for your support this past year.
Just over three years ago, Reach Out for Warmth (ROFW) raised about $4,000 a year,
primarily fTom customers of Otter Tail Power Company or Goodhue Rural Electric
Cooperative. Thanks to growing support fTom utilities, churches, civic groups, private
foundations, local businesses and even school children, statewide fundraising jumped to
$459,873 between July 1997 and September 1998. Coupled with the dollar-for-dollar
. match funds set aside trom the Federal Energy Assistance Block Grant, ROFW was able
to provide critical emergency energy assistance and energy repair to households affected
by the floods, the spring tornadoes and other unfortunate life circumstances.
As we begin another year, we want to extend an invitation to join us in a wonderful
fundraising promotion, "Rise On' Shine to Reach Out for Warmth". On the morning of
February 12th, all Hardee's restaurants in Minnesota will be selling their Sausage & Egg
Biscuits for the reduced price of $1.00, with the entire proceeds going to local Reach Out
for Warmth funds. Here is a way for those of you with a Hardee's in your area to help us
build additional emergency energy resources that can assist your customers in crisis.
Enclosed is copy that can be used in city newsletters and bill inserts or on community
cable stations. Please assist your local energy assistance office in getting the word out on
this event. By working together we can maximize this statewide fundraising opportunity.
Thank you in advance for any assistance. If you have questions about this event or Reach
Out for Warmth, feel fTee to contact me at 1-800-657-3805.
With best wishes for a warm and bright 1999,

RE: Compensatory Time
I
MAYOR
Kenneth J. Hiemenz
lam aware that ¡City policy allows a carry over of 80 hours compensatory time from
CLERK! one year to another. In trying to abide by this policy,l had planned to take time off
ADMINISTRATOR the last week in I December.
r
Rachel Stapleton I
However, due tÒ the recent death of one of the parents of the Maintenance staff
and the fact that other members of our department also had scheduled days off, I
¡
COUNCILORS was unable to take off as planned. As of December 31, 1998 I have a total of 95
Bob Loso hours of compe'nsatory time. Therefore, I am asking for an extension of 30 days in
.Ory Ehlert which to expend the excess 15hours.

lEARNING OBJECì1VES FOR USE OF FORCE TRAINING
INTRODUCT10N:
The following learning objectJves have been developed to assist law enforcement agencies 1111 providing use
of force continuing education to agency officers. Pursuant to .M1nn. Stat § 626.8452. thistn¡ining must be
provided to all peace officers and part-time peace cfficers annually. Trainingoffice~¡and agency
administrators should be aware of the following information.
1) There are many formats for delivering continuing education. Cassroom lecturt~, Independent
study. roll caJl, and video education are all appropriate delivery methods for 1thls education.
Agencies are encouraged· to exptore creative and c:o-opera.ttve means of.. prcvidingthis
education.
2) The POST Board recognizes that Individual officers. have different levels . of abil~
additionally, there are Individual dlfferencas among law enforcement agenc:ies throughout
the state. Therefore. the agency must determine the minimum competency levels
appropriate for agency personnel. consistent with accepted competency levels for agencies
of simßar size and nature of operations.
3) Nothing in these objectives prohibits an agency from developing additiol1al objectives,
requiring higher standards or developing alternative means of testin'g an officers'
knowtedge. understanding and competency. This allows the agency to provide meaningful
education which meets the needs and abŒities of the officer. the agency and the community.
4) Finally, the POST Board Intends that officers receive InstnJctlon relatlve.2!!titc) weapons and .
equipment which the cfficer is Issued or authorized to use.

. CASE 1
SAGER V. WOODLAND PARK
543 F. SuPP. 262 (D.Colo. 1962)
FACTS: This was a civil rights action brought by the parents
a'nd sister of victim of a police shooting. The plaint1ffs
Jlleoed that the victim was shot and killed intentionally and
~ith;ut provocation or justification. The plaintiffs sued the
0lfficer, thelChief of Police and the city alleging gross
legligence in r failure to train.
~ROCEDURE:suit was brought in the Federal District Court for
Colorado. The!Chief of Police and the city(in turn) sued
Jnother city i as a 3rd-party alleging that the other city was
lli ab 1 e because I of neg 1 i gence by it's pol ice academy in the
~raining of ah officer, and it was the negligent training tnat
Jas thereasonlfor the victim's death.
I
ISSUE: Can the city who trained the officer be held liable in
I
, 3rd-party action for indemnification or contribution?
. ~OLDING: Thel 3rd"-party (the city whose training facilities
ere used to train the officer) may be liable for their
rlegligence, if! it was that negligence which caused the victim's
death.
IATIONALE:
I
( 1 ) Because the training academy was negligent (through
use of al film showing an improper means of arrest) they
had a duty to possible victims who suffer because of
that neg 1 ii gence.
I
I
(2 ) I f I the vi ct i m ' s death was due to the improper
training,! the city whose training academy was used would
bel i ab 1 e ¡ because the i r neg 1 i gence was the direct cause of
the victi~'s death.
OTE:
The ·fi 1m 1 at issue was "Introduction to Crime Prevention "
purchased! by the training academy from the Motorola
Corporation in 1976. It showed an officer makino an
arrest iþ which a suspected burglar is ordered do~n to
the ground and spread eagled. The officer in the film
.I
uses one ! hand to handcuff the suspect and the other to
. hold a shotgun to the suspect's head. It was in this
manner the victim in this case was shot.
i

I
.
-
In deciding against such a claim, the Court found no soec1fic .
facts or circumstances that would suooort the 3rd-party
plaintiff's allegations. On the contrary, it noted that the
3rd-party defendants had introduced affidavitsinto.the record
asserting that they had fulfilled their responsibilities in
good faith and without gross or wanton negligence.
Most importantly to P.O.S.T. and the Training Directors of
Missouri's law enforcement academies, the Court noted that "In
addition, the 3rd-party defendants have placed in 'the record
materials describing in detail the Delaware Sta'te Police
Training Academy curriculum, which they now cite as support for
the i r assert ions of good fai thand due care." 648F. SuPp. at
955.
SUMMARY: The good faith actions of the administrator and
members of the police training counc i 1 which consist.ed of
t.raining and supervising police officers, but which were done
in official caoacities and without gross negligence, involved
the exercise of discretion. Simole negligence, even if it had
exist.ed here, is generally insufficient to support the
liability of suoervisory officials for failure to ade~uately
train or suoervise individual officers. Gross negligence or
recklessness is usually required.

"i"'O""O"''''+ Re: Ordinance 52 Amendment
Our File No. 16,397
Dear Rachel:
I
i Based upon a conversation I had with the Mayor, I revised the. Amendment to
i Ordinance 52 as it relates to wetlands regulation. Specifically, I have adjusted the
\ setbacks to those originally set out in the proposal presented by Ellen Walstrom. I
. mistakenly presumed that those mÚri.bers were just propúsals for discussion as
opposed·. to the numbers actually considered for adoption by the City Council. This
revised Amendment is now consistent with the original numbers.
I have also enclosed another copy of the Amendment tú Ordinance 54 and Ordinance
106. Let us know when the Council takes action on these amendments.
I Very truly yours,
I
Frank J. Hajkow,ki "1 RAJKOWSKI HANS MEIER LID.

1 DATE; JANUARY 21, 199"
TO: THE ST JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHIEF LINDGREN
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY REPORTS
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED THE FINAL 1998 QUARTERLY REPORTS.
I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THE YEAR END
REPORTS AS WELL, AND HOPE TO· HAVE· THEM. BY THIS COUNCIL
MEETING IN ADDITION TO· THIS .REPORT.
THERE ARE SEVERAL· ITEMS ENCLOSED WITH THIS REPORT I
WOULD LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO. I AM VERY HAPPY TO
PRESENT TO YOU A LET.TER OF COMMENDATION .TO OFFICER DAHL FOR A
JOB WELL DONE IN REFERENCE TO APPREHENDING 2 AREA JUVENILES
INVOLVED IN A RASH OF CAR BREAK-INS WE HAVE HAD RECENTLY HAD. .
AGAIN, AND SO YOU ARE AWARE, THIS YEAR OUR DEPARTMENT
ISSUED OVER 250 WRITTEN WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE START OF
ISSUING CITATIONS FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING THIS WINTER.
OUR DEPARTMENT RECEIVED SEVERAL THANK YOU NOTES AND
LETTERS THIS PAST QUARTER, THEY ARE ATTACHED AND I BELIEVE
SELF EXPLANATORY. 1 IS FOR KEYS LOCKED IN A VEHICLE AND SOME
ftEXTRA EFFORTft PUT FORWARD BY THE OFFICER. THE NEXT IS
RELATED TO AN ON GOING "DOMESTIC" SITUATION. FINALLY, A
THANK YOU FROM THE MAYOR OF COLD SPRING & COLD SPRING FIRE
CHIEF AND RELATIVE TO THE GOLD·N PLUMP FIRE.
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO A CHART
ENCLOSED RELATIVE TO HOMICIDES IN. MINNESOTA AND TRAFFIC
CRASHES. IT HELPED ME TO Lomc AT SOMETHING IN A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE, AND THAT IS THIS: NEARLY 5 TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE
WERE KILLED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN 1997, THAN IN ALL
HOMICIDES IN MN. ADDITIONALLY, NEARLY ALL PERSONS KILLED IN
ACCIDENTS WERE NOT IN THE TWIN CITIES. ( IE, IT EFFECTS US>
NOT TO MENTION THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PERSONS INJURED
YEARLY IN CRASHES AS WELL. AGAIN~FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
FINALLY~ A COPY OF A RECENT SAFE & SOBER CHECK .F. y. 1., A
POEM BY A VETERAN FOR VETERAN·S DAY I BELIEVE IS WORTH
READING~ AND THEN ATTACHED ISA LITTLE HUMOR.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED~

Dear fOlice Department sr:
At 1l:~0 a.m. on Decembe~ 11, 1998, an urgent call for assistance was issued by the City of
St. C1eud to many agenci9s and personnel throughout the State of Minnesota to deal with a major
natur~l gas explosion in St. Cloud's downtown area. We wish to convey our heartfelt thanks for I
reSPOrlingin such a qUlc: and efficient manner to our call for assistance.
To date, we have identifie~ over 50 different agencies or groups that assisted in not only the
mitigåtion of the incident, I but also in the recovery period. This process is still ongoing. Without
your lssistance throughout this crisis, we are convinced that the final outcome could have been
· I !
even¡ore tragic. !
As tr gic as t!ûs eXP¡osiol was for the entire community, it is reassuring to. know that the term
"co unity" means mor~ today than ever. We certainlyunderstarrd that "community" does not
recog ize jurisdictional lines drawn on a map. As demonstrated in this situation, it is "neighbor
helpi ; g neighbor," all working together to resolve a tragedy.
,

PREFACE .
Alcohol consumption by young people has aprofound impact on our nation, our communities,
our families, and our children. Alcohol use by young people is related to traffic crashes, crime,
teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, suicides, drownings, and poor performance in
school. Teenage drinking also has a directeconOInicimpact on our communities; the costs· oflaw .
enforcement, health care, education, treatment,.. and other services increase as reso.urces are
diverted to attend to the painful and often tragic consequences of teenage drinking.
What can be done? In recent years many organizations have attempted toidentifyinnovativeand
effective methods to reduce underage drinking. Some approaches have focused on educating
young people about the dangers of drinking and equipping them with the knowledge and
resources to. make responsible choices. Other approaches have tried to strengthen the
relationships young people have with family, peers, teachers andothex-s who can influence the
immediate social. environment that affects the behavior of young people. ~till others havefosused
on the acray of adult institutions that manufacture, distribute, sell, provide, market,. promote, and
regulate alcohol.
No single approach will entirely solve the problem. But each approach, wisely implemented and
used in combination with other promising strategies, may reduce the. scope oftheproble~ and
limit the damage to America's next generation. .
This manual is designed for . public officials, law· enforcementofficers,. andalc?hol-regulation
agents as.a practical guide for. developing and implementing a compliance check system for
establishments .that sell or serve alcohoL Extensive research in recent years indicates that while
many alcohol establishments act responsibly in refusing sales to underage buyers, a significant
number of establishments continue to sell to people under the legal drinking age of 21.
Wehayeattempted to make thisrnanualas user-friendly and practiCal as possible. We have drawn
from the. experiences of many .communities around the nation that.a1readyconduc~compliance
checks, as well as from the experience Of numerous respected and knowledgeable leaders in the
law enforcement community. We hope the manual will remove some of the practicalban'Ìers to
enforcement of alcohol laws. Effective enforcement is one of the keys to reducing alcohol sales
to minors and building safe, healthy communities for youth.

I WHY ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS? .
I Effective, inexpensive, and increasingly requested by community interest groups, enforcement of
liquor laws can provide law enforcement agencies with a powerful tool in the fight against crime.
I Evidence shows that regular compliance checks of establishments that sell or serve alcohol
decrease sales to underage youth.
I Alcohol has been identified asa major contributing factor to a wide variety of crimes. Crimes
against both persons and property often involve people who have consumed alcohol. Youthful
offenders commit many of these crimes. Research shows that the earlier teenagers start drinking,
I the more likely they will later become addicted to alcohol or other drugs. When states raised the
legal drinking age to 21, researchers found that the rate of alcohol consumption and alcohol-
I related problems decreased among 18- to 20-year-olds; those who started drinking later in life
drank less and drank less often. I Thus, reducing the availability of alcohol to youth is an effective
strategy to reduce crime, both today and in the future.
I Police attitudes and operations affect communities well beyond investigations and arrests. Law
enforcement personnel, from the beat cop to the chief or sheriff, are important "opinion leaders"
I in the community. The views and actions of the general public are strongly influenced by what
leaders, who are perceived to have in-depth knowledge about the issue, say and do. The .
community learns from law enforcement officials - a sheriff or chief in a press conference, or a
I patrol officer ta1king.with citizens at the lunch counter.' Law enforcement officials can use their
influence to change the beliefs and attitudes of the community about underage access to alcohol.
I Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, law enforcement played a major role in redefining drinking and
driving in our society. A crime once tolerated, driving after drinking is now socially unacceptable.
This attitude change about Dill benefits public safety and public health, and is in large part the
I result of police who sent clear and consistent messages to communities that drinking and driving
is not acceptable behavior.
I Throughout the United States, grassroots community organizations, city councils, and state
legislatures are demanding that law enforcement participate in efforts to limit youth access to
I alcohol. Progressive law enforcement executives are experimenting with assigning resources to
this area of enforcement. Participating in community education and then checking businesses to
determine if they comply with liquor laws has proven to be effective in decreasing youth access to
r alcohol, alcohol-related crime, and other associated problems.

CONDUCTING COMPLIANCE CHECKS .
.
PRE-GPERA nON ACTIVITIES
Type of Compliance Check
Determine what type of compliance check operation fits your jurisdiction: administrative~ criminal~
or educational. A checklist in Appendix A lists this and other decisions that you must make to
plan a successful compliance check operation.
Ordinance Review/Revision
Minnesota communities that have conducted the most successful compliance check operations
have first revised local licensing ordinances (see Appendix B for relevant sample ordinances).
Minnesota statute 340A.509 provides that "A local authority may impose further restrictions and
regulations on the sale and possession of alcoholic beverages within its limits. Communities
should make amendments~ if necessary~ to ensure their ordinances provide:
1. Increased license fees to fund the compliance check operation.
Funding compliance checks with license fees is legal and appropriate. Tobacco compliance
checks recently mandated by the Minnesota legislature will be funded through license fees. We
recommend fee levels that support two routine compliance checks of every alcohol licensee
annually.
2. Specific progressive fines for first, second, and subsequent violations. .
Under Minnesota statute §304A:415~ licensing sanctions for liquor law violations can include
fines up to $2000, license suspension up to 30 days, or license revocation. Judges seldom
impose these maximum consequences; however, fear of high fines or loss of licenses often
prompts licensees to fight charges. The cost of compliance check operations goes up each time
a trial or administrative hearing is held. Ordinances that provide reasonable and specific
progressive fines have several benefits:
· Licensing authorities are more likely to apply penalties to first-time offenders if sanctions are
graduated and the first penalty is not overly severe
· Business owners may be less likely to contest charges
· The community may see specific graduated consequences as being fairer to the businesses
See sample ordinances in Appendix B for examples of progressive penalties.
3. Equal treatment in terms of fines for all three parties involved in an illegal sale
- the buyer, the seller, and the licensee.
Business owners often complain that they can be put out of business by irresponsible
employees or youth who commit the crime of illegally purchasing alcohol. Ordinances that
include a "full circle of responsibility" approach equalize the consequences for initial offenses.
A 1994 fifty-state study indicated that for every 1000 arrests of 16- to 20-year olds for
underage possession of alcohol, only 130 licensees have any action taken against them. and .
only 88 adults over age 21 are charged with furnishing alcohol to youth.2

Not¡e the choices you Irufke regarding the following issues in the space provided in the Decision
ChTk1Ïst, Appendix A'I
-1ype and Quantit}t of Alcohol to Purchase
ConsideryouthftIl drinking practices to determine the type and quantity of alcohol to purchase in
yo+ compliance check pperation. It is generally believed thatthereis a relationship between the
volume ofbe.er purchased and the danger that alcohol sale generates. The. Minnesota Supreme
cOE in Kavanli v. Vill~ge of Watson 272 Minn 481, 139 N.W. 2d. 275 (1965) recognized that a
minor buying 24 bottles! of beer should be expected to share that illegally purchased alcohol with
othbr minors. Hence, the purchase of larger volumes of alcohol suggests greater danger.
. Be~r is ge¡¡èr:illyreCP~d a$ tlte drinkpf chpice among ypung people. Typjcal young drinkers
select.common and lessl expensive brands of beer. When young people consume mixed drinks,
stt drinks are a CPTD choice.

I .
identification of the seller and immediately focuses attention away from the buyer and onto the .
officers.
I In researching compliance check operations across the country, no reports exist of buyers being
, injured. However, the greatest safety for buyers can be achieved if they are under close
observation by an officer. Your knowledge of the risk level of establishments in your jurisdiction,
as well as budget limitations, will affect your decision to use one or two officers. If using two
t officers is impractical, consider alternatives. Departments have successfully conducted compliance
checks in which the buyer carnes a transmitting body wire or a small tape recorder to generate an
audio record of the sales transaction. If a case goes to trial, this secondary evidence may minimize
t challenges to the buyer's testimony, and reduce the burden on the buyer.
. Multiple Buyers
, Using two or more buyers in a compliance check operation is a more thorough test of a business'
tendency to sell alcohol to underage youth. The outcome in smgle-buyer checks realistically
reflects the behavior of only one employee, which mayor may not be representative of the
, business' general practices. Checks by multiple buyers are most suited to businesses that have
more than one employee engaged in selling or serving alcohol.
, A multiple-buyer approach offers the business a greater opportunity to have at least partial
success. Charging decisions and or sentence/sanction recommendations could be proportional to
I the business' success in complying with the law. If one or more buyers are refused sale (i.e., a .
success), then the action taken against the business for selling to the other buyer(s) could be
justifiably reduced. Total failure in multiple-buyer purchase attempts offers a stronger case for
, sanctions. A multiple-buyer process will also help to defeat arguments attributing the sale to the
buyer's appearance (apparent age) or the misconduct of a single employee.
, . Viewing the Buyer
Some owners and managers, after an underage sale has occurred in their establishment, request· to
view the buyer to assess the buyer's apparent age. Establish policy on requests to view the buyer.
I Infonn the owner or manager that he or she will have an opportunity to observe the buyer in court
or at the administrative hearing. Or, if you do decide to provide a view of the buyer, show the
owner/manager the buyer's ID card (cover the name and address) and pre-operation Polaroid
, photograph. The ID provides proof of actual age and the Polaroid shows current appearance. If
you decide to allow a direct view of the buyer, the viewing should occur outside at the cruiser and
~ only if the owner/manager remains calm. The owner or manager will be in a public place and the.
buyer can easily retreat into the cruiser should hostility ensue.
I Site Selection
The ideal compliance check campaign systematically checks all licensees in the jurisdiction.
I Successful operations have been conducted in a wave format in which all licensees are checked
over a short period of time. Long-tenn success in changing the compliance rates often comes with .!
waves done twice annually, on an irregular schedule. Other successful operations run on a routine
, periodic basis, in which a few businesses are checked every few weeks. This approach avoids
periods when businesses can be reasonably certain no checks will be conducted.

TOlsuccessfully counte~claimsthat you are unfairly targeting apanicular business, establish a
protocol defining whiè~.businesses will be checked during any particular operation. Targeting a
p~icularbusiness typel- for example off-sale convenience stores -leaves the operation open
to 90mplaints offavoritfsm. An off-sale owner may complain that on-sale establishments don't get
cheFked as often. Ideally, everytype of licensee should experience an equal deterrent effect from
an fquallikelihood of ~ing checked. Approaches to selecting sites, in order of effectiveness,
include: I
,
1. Random· sele*tion. Obtain a complete list of licensees; select and check sites randomly.
2. Region. If resqurces are limited, select one region of the jurisdiction and attempt checks
at all licensees within that area.
i
I
3. Underage sale record. Re-check sites that haye sold to minors in earlier checks.
4. Arrest & investigation source tracking. Check businesses that are frequently
identified as the Isources of alcohol in crime involving people who have been drinking
(obtain this infoIroation from arrest and investigation reports).
I
I
5. Complaint-driven checks. Check businesses identified in other law enforcement
I
. investigations ~possible sources of alcohol for underage persons. To avoid claims that
competitors.or others can maliciously,cause a business to be checked, don't check those
establishments i~entified in anonymous or unverified complaints.
¡
6. License type.l Select businesses by license type (e.g., liquor store, convenience store,
I
restaurant, bar, ~tc.)and rotate among types.

WhFnever possible, con~uct future operations at sites not initially targeted until all licensees in the

License administration has both legal and political dimensions. A pre-operation hearing or .
meeting is an ideal opportunity for law enforcement to call for support of the compliance check
I operation from public health officials and community groups organized around ,alcohol issues.
News of the compliance check operation will likely prompt some business owners to call their city
I council members. Ideally, council members will have advance knowledge of how andwhy the
compliance operation is conducted. Council members, acting as the licensing authority, have an
obligation to enforce alcohol laws by imposing certain restrictions on business; however, they are
I often expected to promote business as well. If business owners complain about upcoming
compliance checks, council members can respond with:
I .. Didn't you read the information on complying with liquor laws in the notice letter you received?"
"Don't you know how much crime and other problems in our community are related to underage drinking?"
,
, Evaluate the political climate in your jurisdiction and conside~. calling both citizens and experts in
,
ì alcohol issues to provide testimony on the value of compliance checks at a council meeting.
Sources of credible experts include:
· State Department of Health staff
· Local county or city public health staff
· Community or regional prevention coalitions
· A doctor or nurse from the local hospital emergency department
· College or university faculty and staff who research youth alcohol use .
· Local drug and alcohol counselors - from clinics, private practice, schools, local hospitals, or
professional organizations
· Youth who are concerned about the issue
Prior Notice
Educate the community and businesses about liquor laws and provide notice of upcoming
compliance checks. The community policing movement reflects the expectations of many citizens
that in addition to crime investigation and criminal prosecution, law enforcement agencies also
playa proactive role in crime prevention. Prior notice tO,both the 'license,es and the COnlIIlUnÎty
will provide:
. Reduced rates of sales to youth. Research shows about 50% of businesses sell
alcohol to underage buyers.3 When half of businesses checked for compliance with alcohol
laws sell to youth, prosecution may be difficult. Prosecution of offenders may be easier if
you can show that the conduct in question is exceptional, not common. Departments have
found that educating people involved with alcohol sales, giving prior notice of compliance
checks, and following up with warning-only checks, helps bring a majority of the businesses
into compliance. Thus, the small percentage of businesses that sell to youth after, receiving
notice and warning-only checks exhibit exceptional behavior, and prosecution may be easier.
. Increased awareness of liquor laws. Merchant surveys and focus groups with ..
managers and owners of alcohol establislunents indicate that most people who sell alcohol
do not expect or fear enforcement ofliquor.Iaws.~ Providing notice to businesses of

upcoming coml?liancechecks may create the perception among staff that enforcement will

.. How to Inform ~usinesses
1^'rite a letter to all alcohol sales licensees who will be part of your compliance. check operation
indicating that you ~ill soon be conducting compliance checks in their area. Include in the letter
tecommendatiOns fat how the b~SineSS can ensure compliance with the mw (see sample notice
etter in Appendix Q). Responsible beverage service training is recommended for all
trverslseners. A ijs~ oftramers in Minn~sota ¡sattached as Appendix E. Both the contents of the
otice letter and the lmanner in which it is delivered communicate the seriousness of complying
I ith alcohol sales la'fs. Keep a record that a letter was delivered as evidenc.e of notice. for
Friminal or administ~ative hearings (see sample receipt in Appendix F). Choose one of the
. I ollowing methods o,f delivering the notice letter:
,
Þ> Ideally, have off,icers deliver the letters to the business owners and obtain signed receipts. Personal
delivery of the notice letter sends a powerful message to business owners about the seriousness of
the enforcemen~ effort. Direct contact with establishment staff provides an opportunity for officers to
answer questio~s and highlight critical elements of the laws.
OR
I
Þ> Mail letters "ce7ified-retum receipt requested"
i
Sending notices thrdugh standard mail carries much less impact than hand-delivery and provides
no evidence that the) liquor licensee actually received the notice. In addition to the notice letter,
another method of ïpforming businesses of upcoming compliance checks and building business
support is to encourage patrol officers. to discuss liquor laws with servers/sellers at establishments
that will be checked'. Using casual "coffee stops" during quiettimes on afternoon and evening
shifts, officers can educate while building useful contacts among these "eyes and ears" of the
community. A "Stop & Talk" outline is attached as Appendix G.
. Why and How :to Inform the Community
Announcements in local media (TV, radio, newspapers, posters on community bulletin boards,
school papers, etc.)j and presentations by officers to community groups can provide public notice
'. of upcoming compliance check operations. Sample public service scripts, posters, and print ads
are included in Ap~endices H, I, & J. Notifying the community of upcoming compliance checks
is beneficial in the fbllowing ways:

.
þ;> Community members are inoculated against objecting to the compliance check operation, and .
may be more likely to ask why businesses sell alcohol to youth when they know it is illegal.
þ;> Provides further notification to alcohol business owners and sellers/servers that compliance check
operations will be conducted.
þ;> Heightens the attention of parents and other adults to underage alcohol use. Messages directed to
adults may decrease youth access to alcohol in the home, at keg parties, or through other adults
in the community.
þ;> Builds support for compliance checks from the community at-large. Many citizens are concerned
about youth alcohol use and will be supportive of efforts to reduce illegal youth access to alcohol.
Hire and Train Buyers
. Paid versus Volunteer Buyers
Issues to consider include:
., Paid buyers may be covered by municipal insurance in the event of accident or injury.
., Some prosecutors consider paid buyers to be more credible in court. Paid employees are seen as
professional and are less susceptible to being characterized as anti-alcohol crusaders.
./' Recruiting volunteer participants may be difficult or time-consuming.
./' Paid buyers are often more committed to being available for court/administrative hearings.
./' Volunteers may be necessary due to lack of funds or to avoid bureaucratic hassles.
Pay should not be related in any way to purchase attempt success or failure rates. The typical rate .
of pay for such buyers in large cities is approximately $8 to $9 per hour. Match buyer wages to
prevailing wages in the local community.
. Apparent Age
An analysis of the political and legal climate of your jurisdiction will govern the extent to which
you need to assess "apparent age" in buyer selection. For many judges and city councils, the only
evidence needed of an illegal sale is proof of the buyer's age and that a sale was made. However,
some business owners, sellers/servers, judges, and councilpersons believe that "apparent age"
I warrants consideration. They may argue that any "reasonable person" would have considered an
r older-appearing buyer to be age 21, regardless of actual age. Counter defenses of apparent age in
the following ways:
I
! . Hold an age assessment panel before hiring buyers (see Appendix K).
. Call sellers and servers who refused to sell to the buyer as witnesses in administrative or criminal
hearings.

I . Obtain and Prepare Evidence Containers
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Forensic Laboratory, Alcohol Section
recommends the use of 2 oz. Nalgene plastic bottles, an HDPE type plastic product, for
( preserving alcohol samples from open containers. One source for these bottles is VWR(l-800..:
932-5000; product #16125-027). Unopened containers and those with screw caps that can be
sealed airtight can be preserved as is. Samples stored for long periods in containers that are not
I airtight (e.g., an opened beer can sealed with tape) may lose evidentiary value, as the alcohol will
evaporate. Ideally samples from open containers will be refrigerated, but they should not be
frozen. Wann storage is acceptable; however, samples will deteriorate if stored for a long period
I of time.
I IMPLEMENTING THE COMPLIANCE CHECK
I Follow the steps below to implement the compliance check purchase attempt:
1. Photograph the buyer. (Repeat each day __ document and preserve as evidence)
J 2. Search the buyer to document that he/she is not carrying extra cash and/or age identification. .
, 3. Briefly review training. (See appendix N)
A T EACH SITE:
I 4. Distribute purchase attempt cash to the buyer.
5. Plainclothes officer enters establishment; exits if conditions are inappropriate for check. (Use ora
I plainclothes officer inside the establishment is optional but strongly recommended; small agencies
may need to swap officers with neighboring agencies to avoid recognition of the officer by the
sellers).
J 6. Buyer enters and selects six-pack of beer (off-safe) or places order for a bottle of beer (on-sale).
7. Buyer and plainclothes officer witness seller/server's refusal or sale (see buyer training in Appendix
I N for detailed buyer protocol). Buyer does not consume any alcohol!
8; If using two buyers. second buyer enters and makes a second purchase attempt. from a different
l employee if possible (confrontation of the sellers should occur after the last buy attempt in the
establishment).
9. IMMEDIATE POST-BUY CONTACT PROCEDURE: Plainclothes officer approaches server/seller,
¡ explains check, and signals uniformed officer by radio to enter the site.
.
DELAYED POST-BUY CONTACT PROCEDURE: Officer exits site and fully documents safe with
I sufficient detail to ensure identification of the individual seller when contact is made at a later time.

t Communication with Businesses .
( A letter of appreciation to businesses that did not sell to underage buyers serves several purposes:
· Licensees get positive feedback about the efforts they took to ensure staff were compliant with
I the laws.
· Licensees will be prompted to re-think the importance of compliance. The letter could include
( data on the overall outcome of the compliance check operation and information about the
consequences for those who failed the compliance check.
· Licensees will be prompted to communicate with their staff the importance of compliance when
I selling and serving.
· Continuing the business education plan after the enforcement operation will be powerful evidence
J to counter claims that you are "out to get businesses."
A second letter directed to the individual seller, but mailed to the owner or manager, will prompt
·
I management to positively reinforce the seller's good behavior.
Sample licensee and seller letters are attached to this manual as Appendix P. Some cities send
I businesses a certificate suitable for framing, allowing the business to display recognition that they
did not sell alcohol to underage youth.
I Communication with the Community .
News releases on the compliance check operation, which include data on the negative
J consequences of alcohol access by minors, can further influence community attitudes toward
underage access to alcohol. Most departments issue a press release soon after the first wave of
compliance checks is complete, citing successes and failures and the number of reports sent to the
I county attorney for charges. Other departments elect to use criminal conviction or administrative
hearing results as the lead for the new release, avoiding pre-tria1!hearing publicity. Ideally, news
I releases should be issued both after the first wave of compliance checks and after conviction(s).
( News releases contribute significantly to the effect of your operation in the following ways:
.
v" They send powerful messages to the community that the chief executive of their law
J enforcement agency considers providing alcohol to underage persons a serious issue
I v" They provide an opportunity to educate the entire community on the negative consequences of
alcohol use by youth (e.g., crime, teen pregnancy, educational problems, auto crashes, etc.)
, v" They let community residents know that their law enforcement agency is proactive in trying to
help keep their kids safe
¡ v" They send messages to businesses and individuals working as alcohol servers or sellers that
law enforcement is paying attention to their level of compliance with alcohol sales laws. .

imPfrtantrole in Ameri¿an culture. Many people, including participants in the criminal justice
sysrmayremember participating in underage drinking. Cre,dtble research has been dqne

rec gnize and respect the social acceptability of alcohol. Judges, juries, and elected officials who

~ OTHER CONSIDERATIONS ·
I Departments that bypass an educational wave of checks and bring criminal cases onthe first wave
may benefit from postponing the decision to charge until after all checks have been completed.
I The charging recommendation by the law enforcement agency head may be influenced by an
analysis of sales rates, a review of the evidence gathered, and interaction with the community.
Some departments have experienced exceptionally high sales rates that undennine the strength of
I a criminal case. Two identified factors that contribute to unusually high sales rates are a buyer
whose apparent age is consistently judged by sellers to be over 21, and a community-wide norm
of non-compliance with the law. These problems are more likely to arise where no pre-buy age
I assessment was conducted and where little or no pre-operation community education occurred.
Other issues and strategies for fighting youth access to alcohol are covered in Appendix S.
Telegraphing - Delayed Post-Buy Contact
Many businesses that are checked during a compliance operation will call neighboring businesses
to warn them a compliance check is occurring and to provide a description of the buyer who is
working with law enforcement. This behavior is often called "telegraphing." Some departments
use several buyers, alternating buyers from business to business to minimize the affect of such
warnmgs.
Agencies have reported that telegraphing has become so great a problem thatthey have altered ·
their compliance check procedures to avoid immediate post contact with the sellerlbusiness.
These agencies conduct a purchase attempt at several establishments without any law enforcement
contact with the sellers or the businesses. After all business selected for that wave of inspections
have been checked officers return to complete enforcement or education activities.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that most licensees in the area are atypically careful for a short
period following compliance checks. Communities with a large number of licensees typically
schedule waves (buy nights) several weeks apart. Their objective is a fair test of the businesses'
typical level of compliance, not to test· the level of compliance stemming from a warning that a
check is imminent.
A delayed post-buy contact procedure complicates evidence preservation at on-sale
establishments. Typically, the buyers have to preserve and remove the evidence. Usually the
buyer(ideally a buy team of two) will pour a sample from the bottle or glass into an evidence
bottle and carry it to the squad car in his or her pocket or purse. The food must be paid for. With
immediate post-buy procedures, the officer typically interrupts the food order. It·is canceled or
ignored and establishments seldom expect payment. With delayed post-buy contactthe buy teams
either wait for delivery of ordered food and eat, or must leave early placing an adequate amount
of cash at the table to cover the bill.

¡Repeat & Egregious Offenders
Occasionallypartic~lar businesses will be identified as blatantly disregarding. the liquorlaw.
Several tactics can quild a case for more severe sanctions for these. types of businesses,inc1uding
permanent license rçvocation. Conduct compliance. checks at the business using multiple buyers
over multiple days, to show a pattern of blatant violation of the law. Procedures should include:
~ Make no imm~diate post-buy contact with the seller.
~ Use a variety of buyers of various ages and both genders.
!
¡
~ Use surveillance photography to documenttheseller's identity.
I
¡
» Use progressi,velY younger buyers to establish the age limit, if any, of customers usually carded at
this business.!
I
» Attempt to target different sellers (store clerks, waitpersons, bartenders) to show that the pattern
of sales is attributable to the policy of the licensee, not to one particular·irresponsible.employee.
I
I
» Target shifts .When the licensee and/or a manager are typically working the. cash register, counter,
or bar. I
. » For off-sale b¡usinesses, consider an increase in the quantity of beer being purchased. Volume
often correlatøs to potential short-term harm. Selling two cases of beer to a 17 -year-old will be
difficult for anyone to justify.

Q
, Combined Tobacco Checks .
- (Optional; not recommended)
The compliance check processes for alcohol and tobacco are similar in many ways. Many off-sale
alcohol licensees also have tobacco licenses. Combining compliance checks for both alcohol and
W tobacco at these businesses may offer operational efficiency. However, caution should be
exercised in combining these operations.
I Consider the following:
· The legal age to purchase tobacco isl8; the legal age to purchase alcohol is 21. As a result,
buyers of different ages will be needed. A 14-year-old seeking to buy tobacco would not be
~ extraordinary, whereas the same person seeking to buy alcohol would.
. A check detennining if a clerk will sell alcohol to someone who looks under 18 will leave
, unanswered the seller's practice in selling/serving of 18- to 20-year-old youths.
· In small jurisdictions where strangers attract attention, twò consecutive strangers buying
controlled products may attract attention and prompt clerks who typically do not check IDs to
, do so, or may induce one establishment to warn neighboring establishments of the suspicious
buyers.
I Separate compliance operations will be more effective in focusing the attention of the sellers,
servers, business owners, and the community on the separate issues of alcohol and tobacco access
by youth. However, combined recruitment, training, and education processes for the buyers can .
, be used to limit the time and expense involved. If combined checks cannot be avoided due to
budgetary limitations, consider the following safeguards:
1 · Use two buyers. Use one buyer with an apparent age of 15 to 17 for tobacco checks and a
second buyer with an apparent age of 18 or 19 for alcohol checks. Alternate the order in
, which the buy attempts are made from one store to the next.
· Check multiple sellers. If the business has more than one clerk and/or cash register in
I operation, have the buyers attempt to purchase from different clerks. This will minimize the
influence of one check on the other and will better represent the general practice of the
business as opposed to the behavior of a single clerk.

Appe . dix 8 · Model prdinances
. .
Communities have used a vari~ty of local ordinances as tools in controlling. the sale of alcohol to
underage] and intoxicatedpers9ns. Research on the effectiveness of different approaches is not complete.
Based 01 anecdotal reports corunities may want to consider:
· Civ~l penalty structures (¥odel I below)
· pre~. mptive penalties (Mpdel II below)
· Gra uated penalties (bothlModel I & Model II below)
I
Penalties imposed by local ordinance as "civil penalties" carry less of a stigma than the criminal penalties
provided for ÍD the ,tatute. The! character uf evidence required to 'µstaÍD imposition of a civil penalty ¡,
less burdensome than that requµ-ed for a criminal conviction. The use of civil penalties and local
ordinanc~s can make the compµancecheck process less difficult to operate and less onerous on those
found to r-e non-compliant. Use of the civil penaltyllocalordinance approach does not preclude using the
statutory Friminal process whe* egregious circumstances or repea~offenses . make the criminal process
more approPriate. Model I prO\¡ides an example. of a civil penalty ordinance.
Preswn~tive penalties estabüJh a 'tandard consequence that wiü be impÇJ$ed for mI1kíng an îI)egai ..Ie.
Provisions provide for deviation, up or down, from the presumptive penalty when exceptional
circumsdnces exist. Presumpti~e penalties provide clear notice of the consequences of non-compliance.
Gradua4d . peDal ties. affix. a re~atívelY ,mall cost to fID¡t offen,es while providing in<rea$ingly larger
consequences to those who don(t correct their behavior. Graduated penalties are generally seen as being
. fair. It is believed that people accept sanc.tions more readily and that the sanctions are more apt to change
behavior khen they are seen as I fair. Model I below uses a percentage increase approach to its civil
penalties. Model II below has s~t increases in both the civil penalties and periods of licensees' suspension
as an elelent of the presumptir penalty grid.
We provi?e the following two rpodels for consideration. Several other models exist. Local jurisdiction's
legal counsel should be able to pelp select the approach best suited to each communities need.

Dear BUSines)Owner:
The Anytown ·.Ioüce Det>artment Wirlbegin (continue) to uSe compliance checks to enforce liquor ,ales law, in
Any town, ~esota. We believe tMt helping you to avoid law violations, such as selling alcohol to underage
people, will he'lp us to avoid the pro1:)1ems that come with underage drinking. IUs less expensive and easier to
prevent YOUthtcces, to a1coholthan:to investig¡¡te the motor vehicle crashes. fights. and other crime that underage
drinking prom tes. Nearly haliof injury motor vehicle crashes involve drivers who had been drinking alcohol.
Communities Mlat have reduced the ~vailability of alcohol to underage drinkers have experienced fewer.crashes
and fewer cri~es. · In over 6,000 alc9hol purchase attempts in Minnesota conducted since 1992, youthful-
appearing buyers were. sold alcohol ~thout being checked for ID approximately 50% of the time. This evidence
,uggests a 'erirUS problem exists. I
Underage youn.g adults will come in~o your business during the next few months to try to buy alcoholic
beverages. Poµce officers will be working with these youths. Staff caught selling alcohol to underage buyers will
. referred tole County Attorney for criminal prosecution. Businesses where sales to underage buyers occur
ill be referr . to the licensing authority or the State Department of Safety-Alcohol Enforcement Division for
administrative action. Reports on compliance check operations become public d.ata under. Minnesota law,
meaning that t e identity of business1es checked and the outcome of each check can be obtained and published by
the news medi .
We want your staff to refuse alcoholi sales to our underage buyers. We can offer the following tools. to help
ensure that your staff knows the law;

I Appendix G · "Stop & Talk" Outline .
I The Any town Police Department will be conducting a series of alcohol law compliance checks in our
jurisdiction. We have mailed notices to each business licensed to sell alcohol. The notices. include an offer
to have a patrol officer stop by the business to talk with the management or staff about alcohol laws. This
I document outlines information you may wish to discuss with staff during a "stop & talk."
If your routine includes stopping for meals or breaks at businesses licensed to sell alcohol, we encourage you
r to take time to talk about the forthcoming compliance checks. The department's goal is to increase
compliance with the laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol to underage and intoxicated persons. Warn the store
clerks and waitpersons with whom you interact daily to be careful when selling alcohol to avoid being caught
I selling to an underage buyer. Provide them with basic information on how to comply with these laws.
The information below lists suggestions on how to sell alcohol in compliance with the law and details
I Minnesota laws relating to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
How to Comply with Alcohol Laws
I Provide guidance to store clerks and waitstaff on easy ways to check IDs. Encourage owners and
managers to maintain calendars that show the current date and the corresponding year for the legal
I age to purchase alcohol.
Officers should encourage store staff or waitpersons to use law enforcement as a resource. Remind
f them that they can call an officer to the store anytime they believe someone is trying to illegally .
purchase alcohol.
I The primary purpose of these talks is to make sure people selling alcohol know what their rights and
responsibilities are under our laws. Once this has been accomplished it may help convince them to
take the law seriously if you explain some of the reasons the law exists. Here are some good
I reasons why it is illegal for people under age 21 to purchase alcohol.
~ When the drinking age was 18, many more youths were killed and injured in alcohol-related motor
vehicle crashes
I ~ People who start drinking at an early age drink more and more often later in life, are more likely to
become addicted to alcohol, and have more alcohol-related health and employment problems
> Researchers report that when younger people drink they experience:
I · More unplanned teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and unplanned sex.
· More assaults, vandalism, and violence
· Increased problems in school and work
I Remind the clerks and waitpersons that checking IDs takes verY.little time compared to dealing with
being caught in a compliance check sting or being involved in alawsuit. "Stop& talks" are an
I important community policing tool that help you to keep alcohol businesses out of trouble when
compliance checks test their businesses.

Dear (Seller),
Congratulations on your recent commendable performance during the alcohol sales compliance
check.conducted atyourworkplace. Your decision to refuse al~ohol sales to our underage decpy
reflects your c0nunitment to being aresppnsiblemember of the alcohol sales. industry.. The extra
time you tooktoensure that your customer was oflegal age sayed you from facing gross
misderneanorcharges and several hundred doUarsin fines., As you likely know, the penaltiesfor
illegally providing alcohol to youth, including sale of alcohol, can be as high.as $3,000 and one year
in jail. Refusing to sell alcohol to underage customers is the "right thing" to do; it is also easier and
cheaper for you in the long run.
Your law enforcement agency conducts alcohol sales compliance checks because we care about .
youth access to alcohol. When underage people drink they have more car crashes, get involved in
violence and petty crime more often, and are more apt to get pregnant orcontractasexually
transmitted disease. Your efforts to keep. alcohol out of the hands of underage drinkers are helping
keep our community healthy and safe. Thanks for doing the rightthing and keep up the good work!
Yours in Safety,
Chief/S heriff

Q ·1
,. .' .;,
Appendix R · Expert Testimony Guide
.
Try 10 get into evidence..the following negative.·consequ~I1ces of underage drinking:
Alcohol,.even in small quantities, effects the highest levels of reasoning in the mind first. Judgment
is impaired, inhibitions are suppressed, and emotions come to the surface. These effects are why
many adults include alcohol in social situations to ease conversation and relax internal barriers to
personal interaction. Young people are just learning how to socialize: when to trust, when to
discourage, when to pursue romantic or physical advances, when to take offense at challenges and
when to respond tothreats. Immature judgem.ent is challenged by these decisions. Adding alcohol
to the brain suppresses immature inhibitions and sets loose volatile emotions which ofte.n leads t()
the threats to public safety that alcohol sales laws are designed to prevent.
· Auto crashes continue to be the number one cause of untimély death of young adults.
· Vandalism often is committed by offenders under the influen<?e of alcohol.
· Many thefts and burglaries are committed by juveniles. Many of these kids are seeking alcohol or
property to sell to get money to buy alcohol or other drugs.
· Many sexual. assaults and rapes involve both perpetrators and victims who have been drinking.
· Unplanned sexual activity leading to teen pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases often occurs
when one or both of the partners have been drinking.
· Alcohol poisoning-drinking to extreme intoxication-often occurs with the more inexperienced .
youthful drinkers. As alcohol levels in the blood increase it progresses to the parts of the brain that
controls basic involuntary actions such as breathing. Blocked airways or pneumonia from aspirated
vomit and respiratory slowdown to the point of respiratory failure are the typical mechanisms of
alcohol poisoning deaths.
· Impaired judgment leads to falls, drowning, and other injuries stemming from a combination of
attempting risky activities and the reduced coordination and reaction time of a person under the
influence of alcohol.
Beyond these relatively immediate effects of alcohol use, alcohol use by youth also affects their
lives long-tenD.
· Research shows that people who start drinking after turning age 21 drink less often and in lower risk
amounts than those who start drinking at an earlier age.
· A large number of adult criminals have substance abuse problems and frequently commit crimes
while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Many alcohol counselors report that these conditions
began during the criminal's youth, typically starting with drinking alcohol.
Dnnking during developmental years increases the risk of developing an addiction, and the. rate at
whIch an addiction will occur. Evidence suggests that there can be a genetic predisposition to
alcohol addiction, but these effects are small. The tendency to drink is effected möreby
envIronmental circumstances, particularly the ease of access to alcohol. ..

. The bo I y, particularly the p¡msof the brain involved in higher reasoning, develops at a fast rate
during ~he first 20 years of Ufe. While this development is occurring, alcohol addiction will
similarl~ develop fast. Kee~ing alcohol out of the hands of our youth will give them a better chance
to avoid addiction. As adul~s,the process of growth is slower, and the process of becoming
addictef is slower. Adults ?ave better judgment and more experience with which to understand the
evolving cravings and urges.

Appendix S · Other Issues & Strategies
.
Patrol Walk-Through
Uniformed patrol officers walk through alcohol sales establishments. They check the age
identification of any individuals with alcohol who appear under the legal drinking age. Managers of
bars report this strategy is very effective in keeping servers and bartenders in compliance with age
verification policies. Jurisdictions wishing to initiate walk-throughs should work with owners and
managers, provide advance notice before initiating the program, and keep the process low key.
Investigate the Source
Youth Access to Alcohol
Research on the sources of alcohol for underage youth suggests that in many close-knit
communities, both inner-city and rural, some businesses regularly sell alcohol to youth "out the
back door." These flagrant violators of the law are not susceptible to typical compliance check
operations since they sell only to kids they know and the transaction usually does not involve an
over-the-counter sale.
Apply community policing tactics to prevent this type of youth access to alcohol. Community
policing helps keep law enforcement in touch with the people they serve. When officers establish
close relationships within neighborhoods, people "in the know" will report which businesses sell .
"out the back door." Encourage officers to include locating sources of alcohol for youth in their
community interactions. Make investigating the source of the alcohol a standard part of any
investigation of crime in which alcohol is a contributing or aggravating cause.
Intoxicated Persons Involved in Crime- Track the Source
Include alcohol involvement and alcohol sources as standard questions on investigation and an-est
reports. Law enforcement routinely tracks the relationship between motor vehicle crashes and
locations. Speed limits, sign sizes, or sign locations are changed when crash patterns suggest a
problem. Use a similar approach to track the role of intoxicated people involved in crimes. Add
sections to report systems that ask if illegally purchased alcohol or intoxication played a role in the
event under investigation. If the answer is yes, have a section for identifying where the alcohol was
consumed or purchased. If a liquor licensee. is identified as the source and the sale was illegal
document the business' name. The vast rn.ajority of liquor licensees are upstanding businesses that
provide professional hospitality services. A few establishments abuse the privilege of the license
and contribute to crime in the community. Tracking the sources of alcohol consumed by people
involved in crashes and crimes will help to identify those businesses that abuse the privilege. This
data will also contribute to the overall understanding of the relationship between alcohol and crime.

Send Wa ings to Businesses Identified as Sources of Alcohol
. Man ~ reSrSib Ie liquor licen¡ees are unaware of illegal sales that occur in their establishments.
Warnings are the least expens~ve tool for deterring illegal sales. Notify the licensees when they
have bee~ identified as the so~rce of alcohol by people involved in crashes or crime (see sample
notice let~er below). The pote,ntial for intoxicated subjects involved in crime misidentifying the
source ofJheir alcohol is a legitimate concern. However, a friendly non-threatening alertthat an
unverifiereport has been rec~ived can help a liquor licensee stay in compliance through internal
review. Such warnings send the message that the law enforcement agency considers illegal alcohol
sales a sefiousmatter. The w~ing letter also shows that lawenforcement's first goal is prevention
of crime, ot arrests and convtctions.

RE: Crime Prevention
Dear Business Owner:
The Anytown law enforcement agency prefers to prevent crime, rather than perform investigations and make
arrests. Prevention of crime is easy, cost effective, and leaves no innocent victims. Alcohol plays a
legitimate role in our society; however, excessive and illegal use of alcohol contributes significantly to crime
in our community. As a routine part of our investigations of incidents involving an intoxicated or underage
individual possessing alcohol, we attempt to determine how the alcohol was obtained. If the alcohol was
illegally obtained (i.e., sold to an underage or intoxicated person) we seek to identify the source of the
alcohol. Unless corroborated by other witnesses or evidence, we consider these reports unverified and
recognize that they mayor may not be accurate. Circumstances and limited investigatory resources make it
inappropriate or impractical to further investigate all these reports. Typically, we investigate further only
when a particular source is named in several different cases.
We consider most liquor licensees to be responsible and contributing members of our community. In an
effort to help you keep track of what may be going on in your business we are sending this letter. We want
to alert you that your business was recently identified as a source of alcohol, allegedly illegally
obtained. At this time, we do not intend to pursue further investigation of this unverified report. We want .
you to know about it so you can evaluate the practices of your staff. We trust you to determine if a problem
exists at your business. We encourage liquor licensees to have written policies that clearly describe
employee's responsibilities under law when serving or selling alcohol. Give every employee a copy of your
policies. We also support regular training of staff. Keep samples of valid forms of identification atthe bar or
cash register, and use other tactics that help keep staff alert and your business in compliance with the law. If
we can assist you in any way with staff training please contact (name).

Dear· Parent,
Youth consumption of alcohol is a serious problem in our society. Enclosed is a summary of
evidence on health and public safety. problems associated with underage drinking. Limîtingthe
supply of alcohol that is accessible by underage youth is one important tool in a comprehensive
program of detemng underage drinkiI1g. Youth who areofage, friends, and relatives-so-called
social providers-are. one source. of alcoho I for underage youth.. Licensed liquor stores, convenience
stores, bars and. restaurants are . another. source¡. The experience of law. enforcement around the
country. and University research suggest thatin.communities without active enforcement progr.uns,
youth are served alcohol without ill at approx.imatelyfifty percent of licensed establishments. The
most effective police strategies for detecting and deterring irresponsible adults who provide or sell
alcohol to underage youth require the use of underage young people-as buyers.
Your child has expressed an interest in serving as a youthful buyer and we seek your consentfor
their participation. In compliance checksandshoulder-tap operationstheyouthful buyer will make
an attempt to purchase alcohol from a cOmmercial or social provider. ·Ifalcoholispr0'lided
illegally, law enforcement action is taken.against the seller and, when appropriate,· administrative
action is taken against the liquor licensee.
Youth serving as buyers are underconstant supervisionthroughouttheseoperations. While most ·
cases do not involve public trials or hearings, it is possible that the youth buyer may .need to appear
as a witness at some future date.
Youth buyers generally find the experience of working with law enforcement exciting and
educational. Serving as a youth buyer is a public service that many youth have found beneficial
when listed on college or employment applications. Serving as a youth buyer is particularly
appropriate for anyone contemplating a career in law, law enforcement, or public health.

COVERAGE FOR INJURIES TO ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS
I
I
The workers compensati:on statutes provide benefits to an "employee" who is injured while
wor ing; M.S. l76.011,lsubd. 9, (5), provides that "municipal officers elected or appointed for a
reg lar term of office" are considered to be "employees" for workers compensation purposes
Onlî if the city has pass.!d an ordinance or resolution to thet effect. An elected or appointed
offi ial injured while peforming his or her duties would not be eligible for workers
cOJpensation benefits ress the city had passed that ordinance or resolution.
Whjm does this affect?
This provision clearly ap~lies to mayors and council members. In some cities the clerk and
!reter are elected positions, and are therefor covered by this provision as well.
It se ms likely that members of other administrative boards that the city creates pursuant to
. stat+e such as planning qommissions, utilities commissions, park boards, hospital or nursing
home boards, etc. would fall under this provision as well. It's not clear though whether a
me~ber of a purely advi~ory committee or commission thatthe city creates would be considered
to b1 an "officer" or "official" for purposes of this statute.
Somf charters may provi~e specific terms for certain appointed' positions such as the assessor,
engi~eer, police chief, etS. Under a strict reading of the work comp statute, these individuals
wou~d ~ot be covered by Forkers c.ompensation ~nl~s~ the city has passed ~ ordinance or
resolftlOn to add coverag~,.. assummg that these mdIvIduals would be consIdered "officers"

If we want to add coverage, flOW should tlte ordinance or resolution be worded?
The tsolUtiOn or ordinan~e should specifically list the positions the city intends to cover. If the
city 'shes to extend coverage only to the mayor and council, the ordinance or resolution should
refer specifically and onl~ to elected officials. An ordinance to extend coverage to members of
other boards andcommis~ions, could be worded this way:
i
I
"Pursuant to Minn¡esota Statutes 176.011, subd. 9, clause 6, elected officials and
I
members of the following boards, commissions, and committees are included in
1
. the coverage of th~ workers compensation act: planning commission, park board,
utilities commission..."

~
. If a y of the city's appoi~ted positions such as police chief or assessor have a specific term, these
· posrons should be liste~ as well.
I
It's ot completely clear Whether the city can distinguish among its elected and appointed
offi ials, by providing wprkers compensation to some officials but not to others. The statute
perh ps could be read to Imean that the city's only options are either to cover all elected and
app inted officials or nohe at all. If so, an ordinance or resolution extending coverage,
rega dless of how it is w6rded, might be interpreted to mean that all "officials" are covered. ,
The the question ofwh~ther, say"planning commission members are covered would depend not ·
on ¡hether they are listed in the ordinance or resolution but rather on whether they are "officials"
or "officers." Such an interpretation seems unlikely, but cities should at least be aware of the
bility. i

Is th re any reason to us~ an ordinance rather than a resoilltion?
\
Ifth9 city wishes to provide workers compensation coverage for elected officials, it is preferable
to use an ordinance rathe¡¡ than a resolution. Resolutions are often recorded only in the council
minutes; years later it cmj be very difficult and time-consuming to track down a resolution.
We'v seen a number of cases where a city has been paying premiums for workers compensation
cove age for elected officials for years, but now can't find any ordinance or resolution specifying
· that elected officials are covered. An ordinance will generally be easier to keep track of
perm¡nently, since itis reÞorded in the city's ordinance book as well as in the council minutes.
1
I,
Do wr need to do anything special if we don't want to cover elected officials for workers
comp~nsatiOn? i
If the city does not wish t1 cover its elected officials for workers compensation, it might be wise
to pas¡s on ordinance to thllt effect as well unless you are absolutely certain that the city has never
passedl a resolution to provide coverage. That resolution could have been passed as long ago as
1967, when the law was first amended to permit cities to opt for coverage.
The D llowing language could be used for the ordinance:
"The I fficers of the City of _ elected or appointed for a regular term of office shall not be
inclu1d in the coverage of the Minnesota Workers Compensation Act, purSlliUlt to Minnesota
Statut .176.011, subdivisiÓn 9, clause 6."
,
I
How TUell does it cost to fdd workers compensation coverage for elected officials?
Workrs compensation fori elected officials used to be a pretty expensive proposition. However,
· over t e past several years,! LMCIT has very substantially reduced premiums for this coverage, to
bring tI e cost more in line ,with the actual risk.
i
¡

. elected officials, L~ClT'S 1999 premium rate is $.33 per $100 of payroll. This rate is
. Po
I
ap~lied either to the of~cial's actual salary or to an imputed salary of $70/week, whichever is
grer-ter. Obviously, the imputed minimum salary will come into play in most cities, since
COt ncil salaries in most bties are much less than that. Using the imputed minimum salary, the
ma ual premi urn comesl to $60 for a five-member council. The actual cost to the city may be
so I ewhat more or less than that, depending on the city's experience modification, volume
dis ount, and deductibld if any.
Thi. same approach and rate will also be used to calculate premiums for coverage for any other
bO~dS' commissions, o~ committees which are specified in the city's ordinance or resolution
ext nding coverage, Unless the city specifically indicates that members ofa particular board are
cov red, LMCIT will as~ume that they are not.
!
For officials other than rhembers of the council and other board members, premiums will be
I
bas d on the actual salarf and the appropriate class rate.
\

I
I
Wh· t benefits would an:official receive under workers compensation?
As Lth any other emPlo~ee, indemnity benefits would be based on the individual's actual
e~gs from all emplo~ment In other words, benefits would be based on the total earnings
. fro the official's regull employment plus the salary (if auy) be receives from the city.
The $70 per week imput~d minimum salary is used solely to calculate premiums, and does not
figT into the benefit caIculation in any way.
Are here any alternativ~ ways to protect elected officials "lid board members?
i
I
LM IT has arranged with CIGNA to offer another option through which cities can provide some
prot ction for their counSil members· against the risk of being injured or killed in the course of
perfì, rmingtheir duties. for a cost of$12.75 per person per year, the city can purchase an
acci ent policy which prçvides benefits for death or a disabling injury arising out of an accident
whidh occurs while the council member is traveling to, participating in, or traveling from a
regu}arlY scheduled counçil meeting, or while conducting official council business on behalf and
at thr request of the counril.
The ~olicy provides a de~th benefit of $1 00,000. It also provides a schedule of lump sum
benTts for loss of a hani' foot, or eye.
The r1iCY also provides a short-tenn disability benefit of $400 per week. Disability benefits are
paya Ie for a maximum of 26 weeks, after a three-day waiting period. Disability benefits would
I
. be p~id if as the result of~ covered injury the individual cannot do at all the substantial and
mate ial duties of his type of work.
~
.
.
.
:
~ I
· T~is coverage differs ~ignificantly from the benefits that would be provided by workers
compensation. Some 6fthe more important differences are:
\
· The accident policy does not pay for medical costs. The individual would have to look to his
own health coverage to pick up these costs. !
I
· Disability benefits ~ould continue fora maximum of26 weeks; By contrast, workers
compensation benefits would continue as long as the disability lasts.
I
I
· Benefits are payablè only if the individual is totally disabled from perfonning the duties of
his regular employriIent. Unlike workers compensation, the policy provides no benefits for
partial disability. \ .
!
i
· Death and disabilityl benefits are paid according to a fixed schedule. Workers compensation
benefits, by contrastl are based on the individual's actual earnings, from both his regular
employment and his! council pay.
!
i
· Workers compensati;on includes various other benefits, such as rehabilitation, retraining, etc.;
re accident policy does not.
'J orkers compensati6n benefits are tax-exempt; some or a11 ofthe benefits paid under the
· ccident policy might be taxable.
Ob~OuslY, there are maly "borderline" situations where it might be debatable whether a council
me I ber is "conducting drficial council business on behalf and at the request of the council." For
exa+ple, a mayor or coufcil member might be asked individually to attend a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce or a service club to discuss and explain city policies or proposals the
coujcil is considering. qities might want to consider adopting a resolution specifying whether
the c¡ity considers such activities to be within the scope of duties thatthe city expects its
elected officials to perform.

Re: Right-of- 'fay R.ulernaking Hearing
MPUC Docket No. U·999/R-97-902
I
Date: January 8, \1999
\
As you recall, this fall. the Minnesota Public Utijities<ComnUssion CMPUC) proposed
rules under Minn.] Stat. §237.162 and §237.I63 (1998) which address use ()f the public
right-of-way by telecommunications right-of-way users. The MPUC's rules 'Went beyond
the use of the right-of-way by telecommunícations companies, andalsoìncluded gas and
. electric users, incl~ding municipal utilities. MMUA protested in. September, arguing that
theruIes. exceed the scope of ,the MPUC's statutory authority to adopt right-of-way roles.
On that basis. many of you requested a hearing on the rules.
I
The hearing,Ontbe~,e rules.was held on, January 6, 1999 before Administrative Law Judge
(AlJ) Ste\1e, Mihalchick. At the hearing, the staff of tbeMinnesota Public Utilities
Commission (MPUC) presented its Statement of Need and Reasonableness along with
some suggesteð.fihal changes (att2!ched).Participanr.s included representatives of the
tclecommunicationk indu$try, gas and electric industry,. League of Minnesota Cities and
\
MMUA. I
,
Because most of thr comments made by the parties (including MPUCstaff) addressed the
jurisdiction. of. the I MPUC to.· adopt rules which. would also· govern < gas and ,. electric
utilities, municipal i, utilities and cooperative electric utHities, the AL.l. indicated. that he
would take coromelhs from all those wishing to make them, butthat he expected the legal .
I . . ,. . .
issues to be briefed and would only view the comments made on the legal issues as
backgro~d and t~~elp. him begint~ understand the issues.
Briefs are dµefrorri the parties onJanwµy26,1999. Replybnefs are due February 2,
1999.· FoUowing thp subnússion of briefs, the AlJ.will issue hisrecom!nendations to the
MPUC.
