January 10, 1997 RE: City of 81. Joseph
East Minnesota Street Improvement
SEH No. ASTJOE9604.00
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of St. Joseph
c/o Ms. Rachel Stapleton
Clerk! Administrator/Treasurer
21 NW First Avenue
P.O. Box 668
St. Joseph, MN 56374-0668
-' Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
-
As you are aware, the City received a bill dated October 22, 1996, from Steams Electric in the
amount of $4,680.08 for replacement of a power line under the East Minnesota Street Holding Pond.
Nonnally, utility companies relocate these lines without cost to the City because they are on public
right-of-way with the City's permission, under a franchise agreement. In this particular case, Stearns
Electric was on an exclusive easement that was negotiated over private property, and, therefore, had
no obligation to relocate or lower their power line without compensation.
The power line in question is located just south of the homes along East Minnesota Street between
9th Avenue SE and the holding pond site (the homes ftom Kalla to Ruegemer). It runs underneath
the holding pond and connects to a switch near the dentist's office. This is a major 3-phase line that
begins at the substation on Ridgewood Road, serves Mathew Hall, Manions, and other industries in
the area, passes through St. Joseph, and terminates near Rockville.
Stearns Electric didn't want to simply lower and spliœ the cable because the spliced line would be
located under the holding pond; it would be hard to access if a fault occurred and the pond was full.
Losing this line would create an outage for many users south and west of the site. Instead, they placed
three new cables (one for each phase) for a total of 1,080 feet, and installed a modular connection
point on the west side of the pond. This gives the utility a splice-ftee installation and allows them to
reroute power quickly in the event of a fault.

When the preliminary plans were issued to the utility for review, the pond had not been sized. Stearns
Electric did not realize that the cable was in the way until the preconstruction conference. We had
the City's Contractor lower the grade to assist in cable replacement. I have reviewed the items listed
on the bill with Peter Gruber of Stearns Electric and believe the list is accurate. In view of the above,
I recommend payment. Since this is a purely storm sewer related item, I will include it on the final
cost split summary to Stearns County under the 60/40 cost sharing ratio. With this added cost, we
are still well below the after-bid project budget.
Thank you, and please call if questions arise.
Sincerely,

COVERAGE FOR INJURIES TO ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS
The workers compensation statutes provide benefits to an "employee" who is injured while
working. M.S. 176.011, subd. 9, (5), provides that "municipal officers elected or appointed for a
regular term of office" are considered to be "employees" for workers compensation purposes only
if the city has passed an ordinance or resolution to that effect. An elected or appointed official
injured while performing his or her duties would not be eligible for workers compensation benefits
unless the city had passed that ordinance or resolution.
Whom does this (~ffect?
This provision clearly applies to mayors and council members, In some cities the clerk and
treasurer are elected positions, and are therefor covered by this provision as well.
-
-- , It seems likely that members of other administrative boards that the city creates pursuant to
statute such as planning commissions, utilities commissions, park boards, hospital or nursing
home boards, etc. would fall under this provision as welL It's not clear though whether a member
of a purely advisory committee or commission that the city creates would be considered to be an
"officer" or "official" for purposes of this statute.
Some charters may provide specific terms for certain appointed positions such as the assessor,
engineer, police chief, etc. Under a strict reading of the work comp statute, these individuals
would not be covered by workers compensation unless the city has passed an ordinance or
resolution to add coverage - assuming that these individuals would be considered "officers" rather
than merely "employees."
Ifwe want to add coverage, how should the ordinance or resolution he worded?
The resolution or ordinance should specifically list the positions the city intends to cover. If the
city wishes to extend coverage only to the mayor and council, the ordinance or resolution should
refer specifically and only to elected officials. An ordinance to extend coverage to members of
other boards and commissions, could be worded this way:
"Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 176.011, subd. 9, clause 6, elected officials and members
of the following boards, commissions, and committees are included in the coverage of the
workers compensation act: planning commission, park board, utilities commission... "
,
If any of the city's appointed positions such as police chief or assessor have a specific term, these
positions should be listed as well.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
, ,0
.
It's not completèly clear whether the city can distinguish among its elected and appointed officials,
by providing workers compensation to some officials but not to others. The statute perhaps could
be read to mean that the city's only options are either to cover all elected and appointed officials
or none at all. If so, an ordinance or resolution extending coverage, regardless of how it is
worded, might be interpreted to mean that all "officials" are covered. Then the'qijestion of
whether, say, planning commission members are covered would depend not on whether 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 possibility.
Is there any reason to use an ordinance rather than a resolution?
If the city wishes to provide workers compensation coverage for elected officials, it is preferable
to use an ordinance rather than a resolution, Resolutions are often recorded only in the council
minutes; years later it can be very difficult and time-consuming to track down a resolution. We've
seen a number of cases where a city has been paying premiums for workers compensation
coverage 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
permanently, since it is recorded in the city's ordinance book as well as in the council minutes.
-
-
Do we need to do anything special if we don't wallt to cover elected officials for workers
compensation?
If the city does not wish to cover its elected officials for workers compensation, it might be wise
to pass on ordinance to that effect as well unless you are absolutely certain that the city has never
passed 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 following language could be used for the ordinance:
"The officers of the City of _ elected or appointed for a regular term of office shall not be
included in the coverage of the Minnesota Workers Compensation Act, pursuant to Minnesota
Statute 176.011, subdivision 9, clause 6."
How much does it cost to add workers compensation coverage for elected officials?
Workers compensation for elected officials used to be a pretty expensive proposition. However,
over the past several years, LMCIT has very substantially reduced premiums for this coverage, to
bring the cost more in line with the actual risk.
For elected officials, LMCIT's 1996 premium rate is $.47 per $100 of payroll. This rate is applied
either to the official's actual salary or to an imputed salary of $70/week, whichever is greater.
.- - .....--..
~ . .
.
Obviously, the imputed minimum salary will come into play in most cities, since most council
salaries in most cities are much less than that. Using the imputed minimum salary, the manual
premium comes to $86 for a five-member council. The actual cost to the city may be somewhat
more or less than that, depending on the city's experience modification, volume discount, and
deductible if any.
This same approach and rate will also be used to calculate premiums for coverage for any other
boards, commissions, or committees which are specified in the city's ordinance or resolution
extending coverage. Unless the city specifically indicates that members of a particular board are
covered, LMCIT will assume that they are not.
For officials other than members of the council and other board members, premiums will be based
on the actual salary and the appropriate class rate.
What benefits would an official receive under workers compensation?
As with any other employee, indemnity benefits would be based on the individual's actual earnings
from all employment. In other words, benefits would be based on the total earnings from the
. official's regular employment plus the salary (if any) he receives from the city.
The $70 per week imputed minimum salary is used solely to calculate premiums, and does not
figure into the benefit calculation in any way.
Are there any less expensive alternative ways to protect elected officials and board members?
LMCIT has arranged with CIGNA to offer a less expensive option through which cities can
provide some protection for their council members against the risk of being injured or killed in the
course of performing their duties. For a cost of$12.75 per person per year, the city can purchase
an accident policy which provides benefits for death or a disabling injury arising out of an accident
which occurs while the council member is traveling to, participating in, or traveling from a
regularly scheduled council meeting, or while conducting official council business on behalf and at
the request of the council.
The policy provides a death benefit of $1 00,000. It also provides a schedule oflump sum benefits
for loss of a hand, foot, or eye.
The policy also provides a short-term disability benefit of $400 per week. Disability benefits are
payable for a maximum of26 weeks, after a three-day waiting period. Disabi]ity benefits would
be paid if as the result of a covered injury the individual cannot do at aJl the substantial and
material duties of his type of work.
~ .
. , .
.
This coverage differs significantly from the benefits that would be provided by workers
compensation. Some of the 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.
· Disability benefits would continue for a maximum of26 weeks. By contrast, workers
compensation benefits would continue as long as the disability lasts.
· Benefits are payable only if the individual is totally disabled from perfòrming the duties of his
regular employment. Unlike workers compensation, the policy provides no benefits for partial
disability.
· Death and disability benefits are paid according to a fixed schedule. Workers compensation
benefits, by contrast, are based on the individual's actual earnings, from both his regular
employment and his council pay.
· Workers compensation includes various other benefits, such as rehabilitation, retraining, etc.;
the accident policy does not.
· Workers compensation benefits are tax'-exempt; some or all of the benefits paid under the .
accident policy might be taxable.
Obviously, there are many "borderline" situations where it might be debatable whether a council
member is "conducting official council business on behalf and at the request of the council." For
example, a mayor or council 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
council is considering. Cities might want to consider adopting a resolution specifying whether the
city considers such activities to be within the scope of duties that the city expects its elected
officials to perform.
