PROPOSED SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF ST. JOSEPH.
FEBRUARY 4, 1993
The City of St. Joseph is committed to creating and
maintaining a work place atmosphere free of harassment and
discrimination. Such harassment is a violation of Title VII
of the Civil Rigl1ts Act of 1964 and the Minnesota Human
Rights Act.
In keeping with this commitment, the City maintains a strict
policy prohibiting unlawful harassment, including sexual
harassment. This policy prohibits harassment in any form,
including verbal and physical harassment.
This policy statement is intended to make all employees
sensitive to the matter of sexual harassment, to express the
city's strong disapproval of unlawfu.l sexual harassment, to
advise employees of their behavioral obligations and to
inform them of their rights.
In order for a sexual harassment issue to be addressed, it
must be brought to the attention of management. In order for
- action to be taken, information must be forwarded to the
- appropriate level of management.
To provide the employee with a better understanding of what
constitutes sexual harassment, the following , .~, . t'
a.eIlnl ~on,
based on Minnesota Statutes, is provided:
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, sexually motivated physical
contact, or other verbal ' . 1 conduct or communication
or pnYS1Ca..i..
of a sexual nature, when:
A. Submission to the conduct or ' + . is made a
communlcavlon
term or condition, either explicitly or implicitly, of
, 4- . . , -+- public accommodations, or public
ODvalnlng emp~oymenv,
services, education or housing;
B. Submission to or rejection of that conduct or
communication by an individual is used as a factor in
decisions affecting that individual's employment, public
accommodations or public services, education or housing; or
C. That conduct or communication has the purpose or
effect of substantially interfering with an individual's
employment, public accommodations or public services,
. education, or housing, or creating an intimidating, hostile,
or offensive employment, public accommodations, public
services, education or housing environment; and in the case
of employment the employer knows or should know of the
existence of the harassment and fails to take timely and
appropriate action.

Examples of inappropriate conduct include but are not limited
to: unwanted physical contact; unwelcome sexual jokes or
comments; sexually explicit posters or pinups; repeated and
unwelcome requests for dates or sexual favors; sexual
gestures or any indication, expressed or implied, that job
security or any other condition of employment depends on
submission to or rejection of unwelcome sexua..i. requests or
behavior,
..:..n summary, sexual harassment is the unwanted, unwelcomed
and repeated action of an individual against another
indi ~./'i¿ual , using sexual overtones as a means of creating
stress. However, some forms of sexual harassment may be so
severe that repetition in not needed for the act to be
considered sexual harassment.
The City recognizes the need to educate its employees on the
subject of sexual harassment and stands committed to provide
information and training. All employees are expected to
treat each other and the general public with respect and to
. + in fostering an environment that is free from unwanted
aSS1S,-,
harassment.
· Violations of this policy may constitute just cause for
discipline, up to and including discharge. Each situation
will be evaluated on a case by case basis depending on the
severity and the circumstances involved.
Employees who feel that they have been victims of sexual
harassment, or employees whc are aware of such harassment,
should immediately report their concerns to any of the
following:
1 Immediate Supervisor;
+.
2. Department Head; c}r
<:\ Clerk Administrator.
'-' ,
In addition to notifying one of the above persons and stating
the nature of the harassment, the employee is also urged to
take the following steps:
A. Make it clear to the harasser that the conduct is
unwelcome and document that conversation;
'Q Document the occurrences of harassment;
'--' .
· C. Submit the documented complaints to your supervisor,
the Department Head or the Clerk Administrator. We
urge the employee to put the complaint in writing;

D. Document any further harassment or reprisals that
occur after the complaint is made.
Employees have the right to raise the issue of sexual
harassment and to file complaints with respect to such
harassment without reprisal. The City recognizes that there
are " , clifiic.ul ties in developing evidence and
lnneren-:.
maintaining close working relationships among employees in
instances where harassment has occurred. Because of this,
the City urges that conduct which is viewed as offensive be
reported immediately to allow for corrective action to be
taken through education and initial counseling, ;+'

Management has the obligation to provide an environment free
of sexual harassment in a manner which does not abridge the
rights of the accused. To accomplish this task, the

The City of St. Joseph will, in all cases, take action to
correct any reported harassment to the extent evidence is
available to verify the alleged harassment and any related
retaliationw All allegations will be investigated. Strict
- confidentiality is not possible in all cases of sexual
- harassment as the accused has the right to answer charges
made against them; particularly if discipline is a possible
outcome. Reasonable efforts will be made to respect the
confidentiality of the individuals involved, 4- 4-' .,

PRINCIPAL RULES GOVERNING MOTIONS
Motions- These are a formal method of bringing business before the council and for stating propositions on
which the council will have to make a decision. The list contains the more common motions. Motions can be
made only by the counciImembers, clerk, or mayor.
Requires a Second- Motions which have a ·yes· after them in this column must be seconded by a counci1member
before they can be considered. The maker of a motion may not second his own motion. By seconding a motion,
a person does not necessarily indicate that he is in favor of it.
Can Interrupt a Speaker-' Motions which have a ·yes· in this column can be made at any time during a council
meeting. They may be made even while another has the floor and is speaking.
Debatable- A "yes" in this column means that the council can discuss the merits of the motion. A "no' means
that no discussion is allowed and that the motion must be voted on as soon as it is made and seconded.
Amendable- Motions with an affidavit mark in this column can be changed by amendment. Motions with a "no"
in this column must be voted on in the same form as the motion was originally made.
Vote Required to Pass- This tells whether the motion requires a simple or a two-thirds majority for passage.

Footnotes to Table or Motions:
, 1 Privileged motions are motions which are so important that they are given special consideration. These motions
can be made at any time, even if another motion is being considered at the time, and they must be settled or
voted on immediately.
2 To adjourn means to end the meeting for that day.
. 3 To take a recess means to stop the meeting for a short time.
4 This kind of motion refers to matters of personal concern which may be brought up by one of the council-
members. Examples are the following: to ask for order or less noise among the persons at the meeting, to request
a restatement of the motion. to ask the chair to have the windows opened, the heat turned up, etc.
5 Questions of personal privilege are not voted on, but are settled by the presiding officer who is expected to
honor the request of the member unless it is dilatory in intent, i.e., unless the request is made for the purpose
of deliberately interfering with the council's work.
6 Subsidiary motions either change or dispose of a main motion. Their name derives from the fact that they are
subsidiary to the main motion and therefore can be made only when the council is considering a main motion.
7 See the discussion on the motion "to postpone indefmitely:
8 The motion to recess may be amended only as to the time or duration of the recess.
9 The motion to postpone may be amended by changing the time to which the motion is postponed, but it may
not be amended to postpone it to an indefmite time.
10 See the discussion on the motion "previous question:
11 This motion restricts the length of time for discussion of a question.
12 An ordinance must receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the whole council, i.e., at least three members
of the council must vote in favor of an ordinance before it becomes law. A majority of those voting on the issue
is all that is required to pass an ordinary motion or resolution.
13 See the discussion on "reconsideration:
14 See the discussion on "role of the presiding officer."
. 15 The motion to vote immediately on a motion can be reconsidered only if it was passed when first considered.

Re: February 4th Council Meeting for Northland Plat Two Final Plat
Dear St. Joseph City Council Members:
The Planning Commission approved the final plat of Northland Plat Two at their
meeting on February 1, 1993. Their approval was given subject to Lumber One providing
the following three things:
1. Assure in writing that land for the park area of 8% was available on
the Rothfork land nearby for both Phase One and Phase Two.
, Answer: This has been done by the enclosed letter from Rothfork.
2. Incorporate the City Engineer's recommendations stated in the enclosed
letter from the City Engineer dated December 29, 1992 into the final
engineering of Plat Two. There are seven items recommended.
Answer: Enclosed is a letter dated February 2, 1993 from my engineer,
Williamson-Kotsmith, Inc. who did Phase One too. Lumber One
agrees to do exactly what the City Engineer has asked for in
all seven items of his lette~ and the letter from my engineer
provides that assurance.
3. Comply with the City Attorney's recommendations outlined for the City
in the enclosed letter dated September 29, 1992. There are eight items.
Answer: Lumber One agrees to comply. See the margin notes penned in by
Lumber One. Your City Attorney can draw up for my signature
Item #1; the City Council can tell me if they want me to
donate 8% land or if they want 8'% cash for Item #2; I hereby
submit the exact same protective covenants as we used in
Phase One of Northland for Item #3; I will give you the Title
Opinion for Item #4; I will give you a letter of credit in
lieu of cash escrow as I did last year for you for Item #5;
I will give you the easements as required by the City Engineer
for Item #6; the St. Joseph Planning Commission approved the
lot sizes at their meeting on Monday, February 1, 1993, for
Item #7; and I agree to put all the language asked for in
~ Item #8 on the final plat.
Please tell me what you want to have done next and if it can be done in time for
the next regular council meeting. We could bring the final plat in for signatures
at that time.

WK Project 92318
Dear Terry:
This letter will confirm our discussion concerning the comments
raised by Joe Bettendorf's letter dated December 29, 1992.
Comments No. 1 & 3 will require additional field work and
. consultation with Joe Bettendorf and the City. We \'lil1 proceed
with the extra work and address the comments when completed. The
comments address future development to the east, and do not have
any affect on this phase of the project.
Comments No. 2, 4, 5, 6, & 7 will be addressed by the project
plans for this project.
A note will be added to the Final Plat indicating that Outlot A
is a drainage easement.
If we can be of any further assistance in obtaining approval for
this project, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Re: Northland 2nd Addition
st. Joseph, MN
Proj. No. 501-54 (92147)
Dear Mr.' Mayer:
I have reviewed the preliminary sewer and water plans for Northland
2nd Addition and have the following comments:
1) My calculations indicate the sanitary sewer will only be
. about 6 feet deep at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and
Gurntree street. The land to the east drops off quickly,
leaving insufficient cover for extending the sanitary sewer
east from this intersection. It appears that the eastern-
most lot on the north side of Gumtree street will have to be
filled in order to allow a service connection from the
sanitary sewer. Before placing fill, you will have to
evaluate the property with regard to wetlands regulations.
2) Since neither drainage or preliminary street elevations were
provided with your submittal, I am unable to tell whether
the low spot on 3rd Avenue will be at First street or
Gumtree street. If it is at 1st street, it appears that the
storm sewer will be getting quite shallow. Normally I would
like to see drainage arrows and a preliminary catch basin
layout so that I can determine how the water will be
channeled off of the development.
3) As you continue east on Gumtree street with a future
addition, you will be encountering what appears to be a
wetland. I would like to see a preliminary layout showing
how the future street network east of this 2nd Addition will
impact the terrain and how it will provide for circulation
within the development. I would ~lso like to see on a
preliminary basis how you plan to handle drainage east of
this 2nd Addition.

4) As a part of the improvements for Northland 2nd Addition,
you will have to allow for turf restoration along the north
side of Elm street from station 0+00 to station 2+60. Turf
restoration must also be provided on the south side of Elm
street from station 0+00 to station 3+40. These areas
involve boulevards that will not be disturbed due to future
home construction. Weeds will have to be removed/ the seed
bed prepared and then seeding completed in accordance with
standard specifications.
5) When the improvements for Northland 1st Addition were
constructed/ the boulevard behind the north and south
entrance radius (station 0+25 on Elm street) was simply
treated with rock to prevent erosion. Since that time,
various utility companies have been in and out of the area
and the boulevard areas in question need to be restored.
This should included removal of the crushed rock, reshaping
of the entrances and sod to the right-of-way.
. 6) Since Northland 1st Addition was completed, the City of st.
Joseph has gone to a new street section. The minimum
section for soils with an R value of 70 is now 1 inch of
2341 bituminous wearing course, 1.5 inches of 2331
bituminous binder course and 4 inches of class 5 aggregate
base. If the subgrade is at all questionab1e/ the thickness
of the class 5 aggregate base should be increased
accordingly.
7) You show two mid-block hydrants on 3rd Avenue Northeast. I
would prefer to see one at each intersection in a manner
similar to that on 2nd Avenue.
This concludes my remarks. If you have any questions, please feel
free to give me a call.
Sincerely,
"'5> ~ (~(~(

. 53: DOMESTIC ABUSE/ORDER FOR PROTECTION
section 53.01 PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures
for st. Joseph Police Officers when responding to
domestic abuse calls and violations of Order for
Protection incidents.
In the past few years, laws have been created and
amended/ providing more effective tools for law
enforcement in dealing with domestic violence. We must
be more responsible in our handling of domestic abuse
cases.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DICK TAUFEN SUP OF PUBLIC WORKS
SUBJECT: SNOW REMOVAL POLICY
MEMBERS:
To the best of knowledge this policy was established in the
late 70's during the term of Mayor Weyerns.
On Minnesota Street from 2nd Ave. N.W. JR'S Mobil to
Gretschs Barber Shop, 1st Ave N.E. & S.E., the snow will be
plowed to the south side of the street. When the snow banks
become a hazard for safety, children crossing streets, school
. bus loading and unloading, obstructing intersections, etc
then it shall be removed. Each business place was asked to
pay fifty dollars per year to the City in the event that the
snow had to be removed and extra equipment, trucks and
loaders, had to be hired. I don't know how many places made
the payment..
Co 1 1 e 9 e A v e . N. from Minnesota Street E.W. to Ash Street
E.W. , plow the snow to the center of the street and haul it
out. Those places were also asked to pay fifty dollars.
Co 1 1 eg e A v e . S. remove snow were school buses load and
unload for Lab School.
In 1989 when the signal light project when in, we were
instructed to make the following changes. College Ave. N.
. from Ash Street E.W. to Date Street E.W. plow the snow to the
sides and remove it. This includes snow removal on sidewalks.
Also sidewalk cleaning was recommend at 410 West Minnesota
.
"
.. .
.
Street(Senior Apts.) and 121 West Minnesota street, City
owned sidewalk (Roman Meyer residence, now owned by Dale
Schne i der ) . During the past 16 years there has been requests
from other business to remove there snow but the City Council
did not instruct the Maint Dept to remove it.
Also in 1989 Cedar street from 1st Ave N.E. to the
intersection by Ace Hardware was put on the list for snow
remova 1 . After the road was redone the right of way ended up
very narrow. The County plows the snow off of CR 75 and we
plow the snow off of Cedar street.
In the twenty plus years I've been employed here the
. standing rule for plowing is two inches of snow.
If there is any other questions on this matter I do plan to
attend the meeting on February 4.
