Scott A. Botcher, City Manager >Aß/.h, January 4, 2000 Organizational Items: a. Rules of Procedure b. Official Newspaper c. City Attorney d. Acting Mayor e. Weed Inspector f. Fire Chief g. Health Officer Rules of Procedure: You will find attached a copy of Resolution 99-01 establishing Rules of Procedure for the conduct of City. Council business. By resolution you are to renew these rules of conduct on an annual basis. Having read these closely and observed council operations, I might make a few recommendations. At first blush, it appears as if the document is one- half procedural and one-half behavioral. As you know, I many times consider the best policy one not passed. I might recommend the following: 1) If the council desires to have procedures in place governing council operations, simply pass an ordinance making Roberts Rules of Order and Roberts Parliamentary Law the guide by which~ou wilL operate; 2) Secondly, it appears as if a number of items in here are behavioral. Strangely enough, the best rules of decorum I have seen in my thirteen years came from daughter's first grade class at Excelsior Elementary School. I have copied them for your review. These twelve simple rules seem to cover every situation not only here at city hall, but in all parts of life. As you can tell, the students all signed these beliefs and they are posted on our refrigerator at home as a constant reminder. I might recommend we all sign this same document and make it our personal credo as we serve the public's interest. I can honestly say I have never been employed by a municipality who has felt the need to have such guidelines in place. I do not believe we need these guidelines. I believe by adopting Roberts Rules of Order and the " City of Chflllhasst1l. A J(rOwill~ communitv with clean IakN, qualitv "hooh, a charmint clowntDWIl, thrioillt businesses, and beautifù/ parks. A ""at pia" to Ii.,. work. and Plav. ,.. Mayor and City Council January 5, 2000 Page 2 recommended rules of decorum we would be more efficiently and better served, Finally, in a discussion with Mr. Knutson, nowhere is it codified that there shall be two readings of an amendment to city code. State statute contemplates a single reading. I assume that the rationale behind two readings is to create a more deliberatê process alloWing for ample public input. Should you wish to maintain two readings as the staJidard, we should also codifY that in ordinance as opposed to an annually renewable resolution. Please call me if you have any questions and would like to discuss this in more detail. Roger and I will be available Monday evening as well. b. Official Newspaper: Attached please find letters from the Chanhassen, Villager and the La/œshore Weekly News requesting designation as the city's official newspaper. As the Chanhassen Villager is the only newspaper that meets designation guidelines established by state statute, it is recommended that the Chanhassen Villager be appointed thè city's official newspaper for 2000. c. City Attorney: Consistent with council direction, staff has completed an RFP process for the position of City Attorney. We received four submittals. Following my review of the documentation, I met with Mr. Knutson and Mr. Thomas J. Radio of Hinshaw & CulbertSon of Minneapolís. At tlUs point, while I Dêlieve aIT1hë finÎ1s to be competent providers of legal services, I believe Hinshaw's expertise to be primarily in small communities (Excelsior and Minnetrista), with no experience dealing with the issues ora larger city such as the City of Chanhassen. Additionally, I am satisfied with the legal services provided by Campbell Knutson and feel we would be ill served to make a change at this time. To that end, I am recommending the council appoint Mr. Roger Knutson of Campbell Knutson as City Attorney for the City of Chanhassen for a three-year term. d. Acting Mayor: The council must designate an acting mayor to serve in the absence or disability of the Mayor. Nomination may occur by any 715 P02 JAN 05 '00 12:16 LaI~~?Je News Commvnltv 10/,/,".11 01 the X:u .suOu,lUn ",If 0:" An.! 10001 Wayza~ t!ouJevilrd Mlnnetonka.

(Bid based on one column wldt~) , Lakeshore Weekly News will publish your legal notices on Thursday the some week as executed by the City Council if we receive your notice by Monday at 5 p.m., either by fex or e-mail. Invoices are sent on a monthly basis. and two notarized affidavits of each notice of publication will accompany your statement. I appreciate your thoughtful consideration of our legal ndtice bid for 2000. Please call with any questions. Sincerely.

Fax (~3-0895 Direct (612) 84 INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL BODIES AND INDIVIDUALS USING THE LEGAL NOTICES SECTION OF THE CHANHASSEN VILLAGER Deadlines Notices to be published must be received in the office of the Chanhassen Villager by 4:00 p.m., on the Thursday, preceding each publication date. This deadline must be observed to ensure accurate and timely publication of important notices. We will not accept faxed notices as legal documents, as these copies are often unreadable. All hard copy notices should be clean and typed. Affidavits One sworn affidavit of publication will be provided, upon request, wìthout charge for each legal notice. Addi- tional affidavits are available at $3.50 each. Additional clippings are available for $1.OO each. Late Fee Urgent legal notices which do not arrive at the Chanhassen Villager office before the specified deadline may be accepted, at the publisher's discretion, but will have alate fee or surcharge of 25 percent added for special handling. Publication Requirements Most specifications for legal notice publication, including the number of times a notice is to run, are set forth by statute. Interpretation of the statutes is the responsibility of the customer and its legal counsel, not the publisher. Guidelines for governmental bodies, prepared by the Minnesota Newspaper Association, are available upon request. Kill Fee Publication of scheduled notices may be stopped, depending on how far the printing process has advanced. If a legal notice is killed before the initial publication date, the customer may still be liable for a special typesetting fee, not to exceed 30 percent of the cost of the published notice. The customer must pay on a pro data basis, for that part of a series of publications that have been completed before interruption by the customer. Errors Publisher assumes no responsibility for errors in typesetting or scheduling oflegal notices. In all cases, publisher's liability shall be limited to a "make good" of a defective notice if it can be demonstrated that the error was made by the publisher and that as a result of the error the legal notice was rendered invalid. Rates Effective January I, 1985, the Minnesota State Legislature authorized legal newspapers to charge for legal notices in the same manner in which they charge their best commercial display classified customers. That means that legal notices are billed by the column inch, not by the "legal line." The law also restricts rate increases exceeding 10 percent per annum.

Legal notices published in the Chanhassen Villager during this time period will be billed at the rate of $9.25 per column inch for the first insertion and $6.90 per column inch per subsequent inser- tions. The city can again take advantage of a lower rate if it submits legal notice copy on floppy disk in ASCII text format. The same rate would apply if the document is e-mailedintextformat.This system worked well in 1999 and allows for a substantial labor savings if the Chanhassen Villager staff does not have to retype the notices prior to them being published in the newspaper. We would also request that hard copy accompany the disk in the event we have any difficulties transferring data files. The rate for the materials submitted in this manner would be $7.86 per column inch, reflecting a 15% cost savings to the City of Chanhassen. Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you in the past. We hope that relationship can be continued in the coming year.
