Thank you for joining us for the meeting tonight. For the record we have all of our council members present tonight with two attending via Zoom. Since we are operating with council members both here in the chambers as well as online I will be taking roll call votes this evening. Our first action is our agenda approval. Council members are there any modifications to the agenda as printed? Councilman McDonald? Any modifications? Councilman McDonald: No Mayor there’s not on my part. Mayor Ryan: Thank you.

Mayor Ryan: And I do not have any either so we will proceed with the published agenda. PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mayor Ryan: We have, I’ve asked for public comments. We have had an email up on our website for people to submit public. Oh no I’m sorry. I’m in the wrong section. I have so much paperwork up here. No public announcements. I’ll read those during visitor presentations so the next item on our agenda is the consent agenda. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 2 CONSENT AGENDA: Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Coleman seconded to approve the following consent agenda items pursuant to the City Manager’s recommendations: 1.

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS: Mayor Ryan: We do have one scheduled presentation tonight. Sheriff Kamerud will join us shortly. Before we get to Sheriff Kamerud we did receive, we also have as I was starting to say earlier, we have a link on our website for residents to submit public comments. During this pandemic we opened that line of communication for those that were not comfortable coming to the meeting to be able to submit comments during visitor presentations so I will read these into the public record. So let me begin, the first one is by Robert Kahlmeyer. Last name spelled K-a- h-l-m-e-y-e-r and he resides at 921 Lake Lucy Road in Chanhassen and the question was that if the Lake Lucy Road project has been cancelled there will be no resident assessment due until that project is back on track and that is correct. I will answer this right now for you. That is correct and on August 10th, today the street or public works department is going to send or did send out letters to all residents that received assessments to let them know that because the City Council voted at our last meeting to not move forward with the different street rehabilitation projects that there is no assessment to be paid to the City of Chanhassen so all residents that were mailed an assessment letter will be receiving that letter in the mail, and yes it’s confirmed. It was mailed out today so thank you for that question. And this is the similar question. This is from Deb Roberts. I do not have an address and the clarification was that they received a notice of a street assessment that was due for the Trappers Pass area and is that still due so my answer to the question before applies to this. That they are not due and you will receive a letter to confirm that. This was a letter from Todd G-r-i-v-n-a and wanted to know if the City Council meetings are open to the public and yes all of our City Council meetings are open to the public. We do ask that you wear obviously a mask inside which is mandated and they’re also available to watch on our local cable channel. So those were some of the comments sent in and then this is a good segue. A few others were feedback for the sheriff’s office tonight and once I read those and then I will welcome the sheriff to come and speak but I wanted to read these into the record as well. The subject is I love our County Sheriff so I thought would make you smile. And that Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 3 is from Brad Abbott, A-b-b-o-t-t. He said please maintain our great relationship with the sheriff’s department and let them know how much I appreciate all the work, support and safety they provide. This email was from the Kulik family spelled K-u-l-i-k. Mayor Ryan and City Council thank you for your recent communications. My family and I strongly endorse your message in support of our sheriff’s office and local law enforcement contract. It is extremely important that the City of Chanhassen continues to maintain public safety and support as a priority in regards to the Carver County Sheriff’s Office. Thank you for standing up for the men and women of law enforcement. It’s more important now than at any time in our modern history. The next one is from Jeff Commander. C-o-m-m-a-n-d-e-r. I don’t know of anyone in Chanhassen who supports defunding the Carver Sheriff’s Department. Thank you for addressing this directly in your newsletter. If there is a decision to be made in this area we should let the residents vote on this topic. And one question from Mr. Mark Frisbie, F-r-i-s-b-i-e. Can you please tell me how I can learn more about the Police Accountability Act that Mayor Elise Ryan mentioned in the email and I had forwarded that to Ms. Johnston and Ms. Johnston followed up directly with a link to the Police Accountability Act. And then last from Mr. Joseph Alvarez, A- l-v-a-r-e-z. My family and I support the police. Please do not defund the police department or cancel the contract with the Carver County Sheriff’s Office so thank you for those that took the time to submit your letters via the link so we could read them into the record and I’d also like to say thank you to the many individuals that reached out to me and I’m sure council received them as well with phone calls and emails either with questions or comments as it relates to the next presenter tonight which is Sheriff Kamerud so Sheriff I welcome you to the podium. Thank you for being here tonight. Sheriff Kamerud: Thank you for having me. Well thank you Madam Mayor, members of the council. I appreciate the opportunity to come in and talk with you tonight. If you recall we talked briefly about mid-June, shortly after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and I just touched briefly on some of the things that we had going in the sheriff’s office. Things that I thought were important for the council and for the citizenry to know and I have a little bit more comprehensive information available for all of you today and I think because of this policing relationship that we have it’s important for the council and for the citizens to know these sorts of details. If you had your own police department you would have these types of conversations with your police chief and I know that Lieutenant Pearce gets up here and talks about some of the activities and you know the things that we’re going but as we’ve had a change in sheriff’s office administration, we haven’t had a substantive change in policies but of course you wouldn’t know that because we haven’t really been out talking about it as much as perhaps we could or should. And I was and thank you so much. Councilman McDonald: Excuse Mayor, Sheriff, can somebody turn up the sheriff’s microphone because it’s not coming across. Sheriff Kamerud: Okay? Mayor Ryan: Maybe just pull up the microphone, yeah. Perfect. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 4 Sheriff Kamerud: Yeah is that a little bit helpful. Councilman McDonald: That’s good, thank you. Sheriff Kamerud: Okay I can do that. So I want to thank you for reading those letters because it’s, I’m glad to hear that the citizenry values the service that we’re providing and we think we’re bringing some value as well and so it’s working both ways but, so a couple of things here that I think we, I popped this little slide up here because it’s important to just kind of look at data and his isn’t really all inclusive. It’s just a small snapshot of what we have going. The top line is what the crime rates are per 100,000 in, on the national scale. The middle line is in Minnesota and then that bottom line which is significantly lower than both the national and the state numbers is where Carver County is at and that excludes Chaska. And the numbers themselves really aren’t all that significant for this particular conversation but the point here is, our crime rate is low. The violent crimes include you know murder, rape and robbery and your assaults and what not and then the property crimes are more of your big ticket crimes. Property variety arson, burglaries, maybe auto thefts and you know we just don’t have a lot of those kinds of calls and what that means is, policing in Carver County is going to look different than it is somewhere else where they have different data driving their activities. So I want to circle back to the organizational core values and all of our decisions related to policies, practices, training, hiring, employee retention, all of it come back on these core values in the organization of respect, dignity, honor, integrity and pride. If you ever get an opportunity to get into the sheriff’s portion of the building here you’ll probably see plaques with our mission statement on there and each of those values are clearly stated in there and that is the standard by which we operate and move things in our organization. When we talk about training right, we’re going to evaluate the training related to the organizational core values. Now we provide training for our employees both in-house and through third party vendor and we want to make sure that our employees are prepared to do the job that they’re doing today but it’s also a part of our succession development plan and preparing our employees for promotion and for lateral movements as well. And they also cover all of the post requirements. We exceed all of the POST is the licensing authority in Minnesota Peace Officers Standards and Training board governs the license and they require us to take like 48 credits in a 3 year period and all of our employees exceed that threshold. Most of the POST required training is done in-house wherein we select an employee. Train them to be a trainer and then they provide the training to their peer group and that training curriculum and the core comes in so and such gets vetted at the POST board to meet their continuing ed credit. For third party vendors, when an employee asks to go to those trainings it has to be approved by a supervisor who evaluates it in terms of is it an organizational need. Does it meet a specific employee need? Is it part of their succession plan? If it’s a Chanhassen employee one of the things we might ask is it germane to policing in Chanhassen? Does it matter here and then if they’re approved they go to the training and they come back and they complete an eval at the training which is for the instructor’s benefit but we have an evaluation, course evaluation piece that they fill out that kind of tells us as the supervisory and management team whether or not the training was worthwhile and if additional employees want to go would we send them. And you Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 5 know if we get a couple of employees who go to third party vendor training and they say ah it was horrible and it didn’t address the issues that we thought it would, well then we don’t go to that anymore. We continue to shop and find something else. So then of course for a legal update training Campbell Knutson provides us with a more of a booklet kind of summarizing changes in legislation and how it will impact operations between their office and our’s and then the County Attorney provides in-house training for things like search and seizure law. Changes to domestic assault. All of those sorts of things and so the idea here is to make sure that the cops are engaging and doing the job in a manner that’s going to work when it gets into the prosecuting authority’s office. And I mention the training because you will see in the, a lot of this proposed legislation and some of it, I think it actually might have come out in the Peace Officers Accountability Act. We’ll talk about that a little bit more later but they want to get out of warrior style training and the history behind that to my recollection was you know back in the, when I went to skills and they taught the whole warrior thing. Now this was back in the 1900’s as my daughter would point out that, but when I went to skills they talked about the warrior and the idea was to have a never give up attitude. To don’t quit the fight. To you know if you are involved in a physical altercation and being assaulted don’t quit. You’ve got to stay after it and, and somewhere along the line that transferred into this hyper vigilance of view everybody as a threat and that has been detrimental to the policing and the relationship with the citizenry and so the trend lately, and by lately I mean over the last several years is to kind of adopt more of a guardian philosophy than a warrior philosophy and that is really about trying to use time and communication and other tactics, distance and you know non-verbal communication. All those sorts of things to kind of de-escalate and bring things down. It’s about policing with the community, not policing the community right? And that is really where I think our office has been over the last several years and I don’t think that’s universal in all of law enforcement throughout the nation but that’s where we’re at here in Carver County and I think that matters. Shortly after George Floyd’s death there was a lot of conversation of people asking to, for an agency to adopt these 8 policies and it’s commonly called 8 can’t wait and that comes from studies that an organization called Campaign Zero has done that basically their studies show that agencies that have these 8 policy concepts have lower incidents of deadly force encounters and they’re, you know they’re nothing really earth shattering here in Minnesota. You know de- escalate through verbalization. Provide a confrontational continuum. Banning choke holds. Require a warning before shooting and you know you can read the list yourself. The point I want to make here is that all of these concepts have been in the sheriff’s office policies for quite some time. Many years since dating back to certainly when Bud Olson was sheriff and probably starting to be incorporated when Al Wallin was sheriff which would have been late 90’s. Somewhere in that window. So of course as any organization we’re going to shape and adjust our policies to meet current demands and expectations and so I’ll talk about banning choke holds. We don’t have a policy per se that says choke holds are outlawed and they’re prohibited but we have a defacto policy that prohibits it because you’re not allowed to use techniques that we didn’t train you to do and we don’t train in any neck restraint sorts of holds. So we’ll shape that language to be reflective of what the people want to make it more clear that neck restraints are prohibited but it’s not going to change anything for us operationally because we don’t train Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 6 on it and we don’t do it now. And so when I talk about the policy language being incorporated to sharpen our focus that’s what I’m driving at. Mayor Ryan: Sheriff is Campaign Zero, whose campaign is that? Sheriff Kamerud: That’s the name of the organization near as I can tell. If you were to Google search Campaign Zero or 8 Can’t Wait it would take you to their website and they have a tremendous amount of material. News articles. Scholarly studies. Data related to police encounters with people of color in particular but tremendous amount of good information to sort through. Rules of conduct. You know we’ve had a lot of conversation since, again since George Floyd and since his death and it’s important to know for this council that we have rules of conduct policies governing on duty and off duty behaviors. We have defined policies that would be of the misconduct sorts of things where they’re clearly doing something wrong. Illegal, immoral, or unethical. And then we have the neglected duty sorts of things where they’re just not doing their job and, or doing it the way they are supposed to but not in a misconduct sort of way. The short version is that employees have to behave lawfully, impartially, honestly, respectfully and objectively. And there are 25 specific things, give or take, behaviors outlined in the policy but if we were to summarize it those are the core requirements. We also have been working with the County Attorney over the last 3 or 4 years to get after how we can address employees who might have been involved in acts of dishonesty, racial profiling or things that might impact their credibility because if they are unable to provide courtroom testimony, well that would be a core function of the job and if they are not able to give credible testimony we have to sort of what we might do with them. You will see in some larger agencies they have employees, they have to retain because they discharged them. They went through arbitration. Got their jobs back and now what? Well Carver County’s big enough but we’re not big enough to accommodate that. We don’t have jobs for people who can’t do the full scope of the job and so we’ve been working with the County Attorney to sort out what that might look like. The idea is to get that work done on the front end. We’re not in that position today. We don’t have any, we call them Brady/Giglio impaired employees and your attorney will correct me if I’m wrong please but the way I understand Brady is the prosecutor has an obligation to report credibility issues to the defense in the discovery process and then that creates potential problems for the prosecution. Well we don’t have any employees that we have to disclose yet but I’d like to have a mechanism in place before we get there and we think we have that now mostly. So we’re watching arbitration hearings right now because that’s really driving it as well. You know we can have all these great things in place but if the arbitrators are giving the cops their jobs back well then we’ll have to sort something else out so getting a little off topic there for you but our duty, off duty behaviors are regulated in the rules of conduct policy. Interestingly it ebbs and flows but there was a while where we were seeing more off duty violations than we were on duty violations and now we’re not seeing much of either and I’m very happy for that. Of course we have policies related to impartial policing. Racial profiling. The policy is there to provide a foundation and guide our staff in, ensuring that we’re delivering the laws in a fair and equitable manner or enforcing the laws in a fair and equitable manner. The idea is to make sure that we have specific articulable behaviors that are leading us to our decision making, not factors that are Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 7 irrelevant such as race or gender or religion or any of those other sorts of things that don’t really matter in terms of case development or trying to determine if you have suspicious behavior or not. We’re investing additional training into this. I talked in June about some of the work we did related to building our knowledge base internally related to implicit bias and we’re doing some training and we are continuing down that path because equal protection under the law matters and it’s our obligation as the gateway to the criminal justice system to make sure that we’re starting off on the right foot. I want to be clear that when I started this endeavor upon election it wasn’t because I think we have an internal problem with any of these things. It’s really about recognizing that we need to constantly be learning and building and growing and becoming better in how we go about doing our jobs and when we look on a national scale and we look at the data we can tell that, that it’s not necessarily happening on an event scale for people of color and so we’re going to try to address that to the extent that we can do it in Carver County so. We’re also gathering and evaluating 2016 through 2019 arrest data to examine arrests versus use of force and comparing it with race. The Southwest Publishing has made a request for this data as well. The timing is pretty good because we’re having these conversations internally about it and what we’re finding is it’s really difficult to make any meaningful interpretation of the data when you look at what our crime rate is on the very first slide. We have very low crime rate so the occasions where use of force might be used is very low. When you look at the demographics of Carver County and comparing race involved the numbers are very low. When I looked at Chanhassen for example just related to arrests involving use of force, and to be clear use of force is anything above a routine escort hold and an escort hold would be if I just kind of grabbed you by the elbow and said come with me and I escorted you somewhere. Anything that is more violent than that is considered use of force in our organization. In Carver County we had 5 occasions with black people and when you look at each, because there’s only 5 you can look at all 5 cases pretty quickly and read through the reports. It’s really tough to make any pattern assessment on 5 incidents, right? But nevertheless we’re going to take a look at the data and see what we can learn if anything. Citizen complaints. We have a pretty comprehensive policy related to the complaint investigation process and then you couple that with the rules of conduct, we have a good mechanism in place to get after these. We have a fairly informal process in terms of how we receive complaints and the short version is that we will receive complaints verbally, in writing. We have an actual form for it because in government you have a form for all things right. And but we accept them really informally but one of the things that we are going to try to do is tighten up the verbiage and make it more clear to citizens how they could go about lodging a complaint related to employee performance or employee behavior. I would like to see that on the website. We’re getting a lot of people who are looking for these more technology driven sorts of things. I think we could put that, you know it’d be pretty easy to convert to Spanish and have that available for our Spanish speaking citizens and so I think we’ll head down that road but complaint investigation policy covers everything from real basis concerns. Deputy demeanor. You know the deputy was rude or the tactics. Another one is some people will say well you know your deputy shined his light in my eye. Why did he shine his light in my eye and we can talk that through and kind of educate people about how and why those things happen like that. Then it gets into minor violations from we have reports tardiness. Low level, more neglected duties sorts of things into straight up misconduct activities which would include Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 8 criminal acts and other inappropriate on duty conduct. Or even off duty conduct for that matter. And then there are tiers of which supervisory or managerial level can be involved. So if we have a low level demeanor complaint, first level supervisor can take care of that that night with the citizen and likely with the officer. If not that night certainly or day, you know certainly within a couple of days. Some of the more complicated ones would require a more thorough investigation and those take a little bit more time and then that rises up to more of an administrative level. And sometimes those things might go to an outside agency so for example if we had an officer or a deputy who was accused of criminal conduct, well we don’t investigate ourselves when it comes to crimes. We bring in another agency to investigate that allegation. And we do that for other agencies as well if they have an employee who is alleged to have engaged in criminal activity they’ll conflict it over to us and then we’ll conduct the investigation. Employment investigations where the only allegation is of a policy violation well then we handle those internally and you’ve seen it on TV. The IA. The Internal Affairs investigation and we have employees who are trained in doing those types of personnel investigations. Once in a while though we’ll bump into cases where it’s kind of mixed right so perhaps it an excessive force complaint. Well that might be criminal or it might just be a policy violation and in those instances we sort those out pretty thoroughly to make sure that they get routed to the appropriate channel for investigation. That doesn’t happen very often but it does from time to time and sometimes it’s not really clear which is the best avenue for the investigation but we kind of sort it out. I talk it through with the County Attorney and with other sheriffs and police chiefs and try to make sure we’re assigning it appropriately. You know one of the things that leads to complaints is employees who are not mentally or physically healthy and what not and so Carver County has done a pretty nice job in my estimation of offering a variety of alternative health insurance programs for employees to kind of meet their individual needs. They have continual physical health incentives that are packed into that insurance plan. Not all of the employees take advantage of it but it’s there. We have a really robust EAP. Here again I’m not sure that a lot of employees take advantage of it but it’s there. We have really flexible and alternative scheduling practices and that’s kind of good news, bad news on this partnership sort of thing because part of the reason we see employee movement on an annual basis is because we’re making these scheduling adjustments and employees get to have input on where they’re assigned and the shift they work and so we might see some movement when we didn’t really want to but in some instances it probably is better fro the employee. And then just this year Lieutenant Pearce spearheaded an initiative to create a peer counseling program where trained peers are available to communicate about stressors related to the job. We have critical incident stress management in place and we have a chaplain program so we have a lot of programs in place to try to keep the employees mentally and physically healthy and we’ve had varied levels of success just like every organization who’s trying to do these things. Some of the things we have going in the future that I think matter are you know body worn cameras. You know we in 2019, we’ve been looking at these for the last couple years and we’ve been kind of watching what the data laws have done. Now we think the data laws are okay in terms of providing reasonable privacy for victims of crime and witnesses and people who are probably would have an interest in maintaining some privacy right. And we reviewed it with my Citizen Advisory Board in 2019 and the board concluded that it’s an inevitable technology that the sheriff’s office is going to have to include at Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 9 some point but when we started talking about the money and like you guys were talking over the last couple of meetings it’s well we’ve got a finite amount of money. It’s this or it’s that. It can’t be both and so we made some decisions and deferred the body worn cams. I did ask for funding in the 2021 budget and whether or not that gets approved by the County board is a separate issue. We also would have to have public hearings and there’s a process that we have to go through before we can do it but I had to ask for the money now and then if the money’s available then we can have the rest of the process and I suspect at the end of that we would likely have cameras. Now of course that has an added cost for each of our contract cities because the intention is, as most agencies are doing is they’re storing the data in the cloud through a third party vendor and the vendors are charging on a per user basis. Not on a per data basis. It’s they know about how much data each cop contributes and then they bump that into the mix. Well more than half of the sheriff’s deputies exist because of contract policing and so the data that’s generated policing a contract community is going to have to be offset by that city’s in their policing contract. We’re having some discussions with the city managers right now to kind of sort out where that might be. When it kicks in. You know all of those sorts of things but we’re not, I would not anticipate any substantive charges or costs to the cities until into 2022. Maybe the back half of 2021 but that’s, the back half of 2021 would be pretty optimistic. Let’s see I’m trying to evaluate the development of an early warning system and it’s an idea where you can track citizen complaints against employees, tardiness, sick use, all of these sorts of things and it might give you some indicators of an employee who is on the front end of being in trouble and so we’re kind of looking at that. When we get to the part on the police accountability act you’ll see that the POST board has been directed to do this and so maybe we forego and we use that tool. We’ll have to see how that shakes out but we’re on the very front end of having crucial conversations is what I called the group is just a working title until we kind of figured out what the group really was but the idea is to find a way to hear from the people in our communities whose voices have not been heard. We’re talking about people of color and try to figure out how to, what’s the best way for me to get that information in-house so that I can shape our organizational policies and shape our training to fit those needs. I’m finding that it’s a little bit challenging when there’s a lack of trust to get into some pretty candid discussion but so far so good. We’ve had some very good conversation in my opinion. The Mayor has been to the meetings and I think we’re making progress. We’re building some repoire. It’s all optimistic that in the coming months, hopefully later this year but certainly first quarter 2021 hopefully we can have some community based sorts of conversations on that. I think I talked in June and before that we would try to leverage our co-responder and PCEP programs with Health and Human Services. Our co-responder started today so once she gets through with her training we will have a crisis therapist available to mental health calls in the field with our deputies Monday through Friday. Her core hours are 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Somewhere in there. She works an 8 hour day but those are the hours we absolutely want her here because that’s what the data shows is when we need it. Whether she comes in earlier than that or later than that is kind of between her and her supervisor. You know I’m not much of a clock watcher so they’ll sort that out. And then of course we still have crisis call takers in our 911 center which the idea was to get them on the phone during mental health calls and potentially allow them to start de- escalating and providing some telephonic crisis counseling things of that nature and it turns out Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 10 that yeah they do that on the mental health calls but they also do it in other situations. Domestic assault cases where they’ll talk to the caller who is really quite emotional about having been assaulted and they work it there and it’s, we didn’t expect that but we found that they do that work on other calls and it’s working out very well. And then of course you know we want to make sure that we’re sharing information with our city and township partners because that’s really the only way these things work is if we remain communicative about expectations and what’s going on and how things are actually starting to happen. So for the, Mr. Frisbie I think is the one who asked about the Police Accountability Act, is that sound about right? Yeah well we can, here’s the Readers Digest version of it. Those are the highlights of the things that are included in the act for us. We’re not really significantly impacted by this because our use of force policies already include the idea of the sanctity of human life. That concept is already included. The part that is going to impact us is the use of force reporting which is monthly along with complaint reporting in real time. Now we don’t get a lot of complaints but when we get them, as I understand the legislation, the idea is that we pump that information into a statewide database and then as we get to final disposition and any administrative action then we feed that information in at that point. The technology exists. The website has not yet been developed so what that’s going to look like and how we’re going to pull data out of it I’m not really sure but, and then notably is the grievance arbitration as well. That’s pretty significant in terms of changes to the arbitration process in that arbitrators will be assigned by the Bureau of Mediation Services versus the way it happens prior to August 1st I think is they would give the grievant and the employer 5 or 7 names and then they would each alternatively strike one until you had one name left and then that was the arbitrator. That’s a pretty significant change in my estimation. Mayor Ryan: Sheriff before you leave this slide because these actually are some of the questions that I had just based on the email that we got. So if I’m understanding this slide correctly the ones that you have asterisks behind, those are the ones that would be new to your policy and practice. All the other ones that are listed are already policies or practices that you have in existence. Is that correct? Sheriff Kamerud: Yeah that’s correct. We have some form or the concept of it is included in all of those but for the ones with the asterisk or like I didn’t put the use of force investigative unit by BCA because that doesn’t impact us but what they did was they said the Minnesota BCA is going to have a unit that is exclusively assigned to law enforcement use of force and officer involved shooting cases. Mayor Ryan: And so, sorry you probably can’t even hear me. Sorry Nann. You probably can’t hear me with my mask on. And when you say some form of it you’re saying that just for clarification that your policies are more stringent or, I know you shared the explanation of a choke hold and so that’s specific and you’re doing any kind of neck restraints so I just wanted to, you know these are the questions that I get and one of the reasons why we invited you here is just so there is that clarity amongst council for these questions that come forward. So if the ones that are already on there are part of your policy in some fashion or another? Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 11 Sheriff Kamerud: Or a part of our practice. Mayor Ryan: Practice okay. Sheriff Kamerud: Yep and let me just run through and make sure I’m being perfectly clear and transparent on all of those. You know I think we’ll have to tweak some of the language in so, our current policies are more restrictive than the previous POST board policies. These topics here are currently, that’s what made our’s more restrictive right because we had these concepts in there and now our policies are in alignment with these changes. Mayor Ryan: Okay, thank you. Sheriff Kamerud: Does that make sense? Mayor Ryan: Yes thank you. Sheriff Kamerud: Okay. And that’s it. Any other questions? Comments. Things I can clarify for the group. Mayor Ryan: I will turn it over to council for questions or comments. Councilwoman Coleman any questions or comments for the sheriff? Councilwoman Coleman: No questions. I just wanted to say thank you for that very thorough run through and for all that you’re doing for our community and if there’s anything that this council can do to better support the members of our community who are hurting, and that’s the feedback you get as well as supporting you our sheriff’s and the deputies please let us know. Sheriff Kamerud: Thank you. Mayor Ryan: Councilman Campion? Councilman Campion: None at this time, thank you Sheriff. Appreciate your service. Mayor Ryan: Councilwoman Tjornhom? Councilwoman Tjornhom: Yes thank you Sheriff for your presentation tonight. I think it’s important to stress that when we hear a siren going or you see a police officer, your job isn’t necessarily chasing a bad guy. I think a lot of the time it’s really you’re trying to help somebody. Whether it could be in a medical issue or I think most recently you know we’ve heard a lot about the fact that people in the law enforcement arena deal a lot with mental illness and a lot of those calls are having to be managed and you’re not necessarily a mental illness specialist and so I’m glad to hear your program has now started where you do have some support and your deputies also will have that support moving forward so your presentation was really Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 12 informative and I really do thank you for the times that you do come and you help residents and the times that you’re serving in right now so thank you so much for all of that. Sheriff Kamerud: Thank you. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilwoman. Councilman McDonald? Councilman McDonald: Well Sheriff I want to thank you for coming to us and kind of explaining all of this. I think it’s really interesting to look at police work and the jobs you do. I think that police have kind of become a hammer and every problems a nail and as we all know that’s not the case so I’m glad to see that there’s recognition on your part that these problems can be multi faceted and it does take someone with a little bit more I think insight into human nature and how to address a problem and to think it through before just reacting so I’m glad to see you’re starting to put those kind of policies and training in place. The accountability is excellent I think. It will only get better as we’re able to use it more but I’ve always been very pleased with the service that the Carver County Sheriff’s Office has offered to the city of Chanhassen. I think you all have done an excellent job of providing policing and keeping the peace for the residents and our city so for that my hat’s off to you and a hearty thank you for all your work in the past and I’m sure you’ll continue doing the same type of work in the future. Again I would like to reiterate what Councilwoman Coleman said. If there’s anything we can do as the City to help you I hope that you’ll not hesitate to come forward and to talk to us about any assistance that we could lend to you. Again I just want to say thank you and to all of your deputies, you know please express our thanks and support to them also so thank you. Sheriff Kamerud: Thank you Councilmember and I’ll be sure to pass that along to the deputies. Mayor Ryan: And Sheriff I’ll just close by sharing those same sentiments. First thank you for coming tonight. I really appreciate it. We really appreciate you take the time to go through your practices and policies so extensively. And I had a great conversation with a resident a while back and you know he said to me he’s like, make sure you tell the Sheriff and let the public know as well that we appreciate you all because you are our family. Our friends. Our neighbors and you put your lives on the line every single day when you walk out the door and I thought that was really well said and a sentiment that I share. I’d also like to commend you, obviously tonight we heard from not only the council members but in terms of the residents that took the time to submit a comment and support and wanting to share their support and appreciation for the service that you provide our city but I want to commend you on putting yourself out there for these crucial conversations because while there is you know definitely the support in our community for the sheriff’s office, as we’ve come to learn that there’s also concerns and so I think you have recognized that and acknowledged that and by putting this group of people together where you truly sit and listen to the comments and the feedback, to those that might not feel so comfortable with you know the sheriff’s office and different things that may or may happen to them or experiences that they have, you know you’re putting yourself in a position where it’s not as comfortable and you’re willing to listen and you’re willing to make those Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 13 changes to make sure as you stated earlier everybody feels that they’re treated equally under the law and so while obviously you have the support from us I just want you to know how much I appreciate and value that you’re taking the time to listen to those that might have a different opinion and might not feel as welcomed in the community and I think that is going to go a long way for the strength of Chanhassen and Carver County as a whole so I just want to acknowledge that I really very much appreciate you taking the time to do that and sit and listen to community members and figure out a way forward so thank you for coming tonight. Lieutenant Pearce thank you for being here tonight and leading the team here in Chanhassen. We very much appreciate all of your service and sacrifice that you do every single day so thank you very much. Appreciate it. Sheriff Kamerud: Thank you for having me tonight. Mayor Ryan: And that was our scheduled presentation. If there are any other visitors that would like to come forward this would be the time. I don’t see anyone. APPROVE SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH SGR FOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT SERVICES FOR CITY MANAGER POSITION. Mayor Ryan: Next item is old business which we don’t have any nor public hearings. So the next item is our new business and that is, let me pull it up here and that’s the approval of a service agreement with SGR for executive recruitment services and I believe Mr. Foster is joining us via Zoom. Jake Foster: Yeah thank you Madam Mayor, members of council. As the Mayor said the item I have before you tonight is approval of a service agreement with Strategic Government Resources or SGR for executive recruitment services. So as we’re all well aware of Todd Gerhardt retired after 34 years of service back at the end of June. We issued an RFP for executive search firms on June 10th of this year prior to his departure. That RFP closed on July 20th and we received 5 proposals from executive search firms. From there we put together a panel to review each of those that consisted of myself, department heads, Charlie Howley, our Public Works Director and City Engineer and Chief Johnson our Fire Chief along with Councilman Campion and Mayor Ryan. The 5 of us reviewed each of the proposals and selected 3 for interviews and then from that process SGR was unanimously selected for recommendation to the rest of council. Their service agreement has a cost of $22,000 or not to exceed that with the exception of some potential supplemental costs. Some could be like pass through costs if we want to post on job boards or if there are any sort of additional resources we want along the way. If you want to include another person in. Video interview services or other such measures like that. So with that I will stand for any questions. Mayor Ryan: Mr. Foster before I turn it over to further questions could you go through the timeline for when they would start up if this gets approved. And what their timeline is. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 14 Jake Foster: Yeah, yeah I’d be happy to. So in their proposal they laid out that timeline so after they have approval tonight they’ll essentially I’ll let them know if they were to be approved and they’ll get started right away and then starting essentially tomorrow is a 15 week timeline so they have the expectation that that would then run through roughly the end of November to have a candidates in place and start that, or have that negotiation process wrapped up so they would help sort of set terms and then the actual negotiation would happen here between council and the candidate that’s determined so with that wrapping up the 15 week process we’d hopefully be able to have our new city manager then start a date targeting roughly January 4th of 2021. Mayor R yan: Great, thank you Mr. Foster. Councilman McDonald any questions? Councilman McDonald: Not at this time. I think you’ve laid it out quite well so thank you very much for that Mr. Foster. Mayor Ryan: Councilwoman Tjornhom any questions? Councilwoman Tjornhom: Not at this time. Mayor Ryan: Councilwoman Coleman? Councilwoman Coleman: None from me. Mayor Ryan: Councilman Campion? Councilman Campion: No questions. Mayor Ryan: Alright. I don’t have any questions either. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Mr. Foster for taking the lead on this and getting it all organized as well as thanks to Mr. Howley and Chief Johnson for your participation and of course Councilman Campion so thank you all for your participation and interview process for this executive search firm. Is there a motion? Councilwoman Coleman: I’ll make a motion. The City Council approves a Service Agreement with Strategic Government Resources (SGR) for Executive Recruitment Services. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilwoman Coleman. Is there a second? Councilman Campion: Second. Councilman McDonald: I’ll second. Mayor Ryan: I’ll give that to Councilman Campion. The Zoom got you there Councilman McDonald. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 15 Councilwoman Coleman moved, Councilman Campion seconded that the City Council approves a Service Agreement with Strategic Government Resources (SGR) for Executive Recruitment Services. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. Mayor Ryan: That motion carries 5-0. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Foster. Jake Foster: Thank you. APPROVAL OF FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS CONTRACTS. Mayor Ryan: Next we have the approval of the facilities improvements contracts. Thank you for staying around. Mr. Sticha. Greg Sticha: Good evening Mayor and council. Earlier this evening staff reviewed a executive summary prepared by Leo A. Daly for the assessment of COVID safetyness for our facilities here at the City of Chanhassen. As the council is aware but some of the audience and listening tonight might not be aware the City of Chanhassen is the recipient of roughly $1,978,000 in CARES dollars. One of the eligible expenses for those CARES dollars is building our safety improvements to your buildings for COVID related safety improvements. 3 or 4 weeks ago staff along with the direction of the City Council asked Leo A. Daly to perform an assessment of our buildings for that particular reason. This evening they’re going to share some of their information in regards to that assessment and break down some of the costs, potential costs that they are recommending to the City Council for approval of using CARES funds to a variety of our facilities. With that I will let Kimberly and I try not to butcher your last name. Kimberly Sambolt: Sambolt. Greg Sticha: Sambolt. This evening she will go over her presentation and answer any questions the City Council might have. Mayor Ryan: Great thank you. Kimberly Sambolt: Mayor and council. I’ve given some detail already. You have information in your packet so I’m going to go over this pretty quickly just for those who haven’t heard it yet. A couple weeks ago we came and did the study as Greg mentioned. Myself, architect with Leo A. Daly and also a mechanical engineer with our firm at Leo A. Daly walked through a number of the facilities and looked for potential areas to improve the facilities to reduce the spread of COVID in response to the COVID CARES Act funds and that they can be used for facility improvements so we were looking for ways to do that. When we were looking we prioritized by different levels and one of the things that we really prioritized is the HVAC. The air quality inside the buildings is a priority because the COVID virus spreads primarily through airborne Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 16 particles and so one of the best ways we can make improvements to facilities to prevent the spread of that is via the air quality and by improving air quality so that’s going to be one of the top items that we recommend. The next is physical distancing. CDC also recommends that proximity enables that airborne spread so they have some pretty good guidelines about the 6 foot distance and trying to maintain that distance. This becomes kind of an issue in many of our facilities because facility space is at a premium and to really enlarge to meet that CDC recommendation in facilities at all times would mean a significant increase in square footage of space which just is not available and the CARES Act funding that you have available would not support in all instances really accommodating that CDC recommendation so we do take this into account but it is a little harder to achieve with the funding and timeline we have available. And then the third level of priority is the frequently touched surfaces. This is also a common method for germ spread. It’s not the primary for COVID but that being said there are ways that COVID can spread via commonly touched surfaces. Again this is one that is hard from a built environment. We can’t reduce all, we can’t eliminate all of the touch points that people have in their work places that other people touch throughout the day but we can reduce some of them, especially in really high traffic and potentially contaminated areas like bathrooms, public entry doors, those types of things. So this is just kind of how we prioritize the work and how we made recommendations for the facilities. Things we’re looking for. As I mentioned indoor air quality is one of the highest because that is the primary way of spreading. And you can see here the ASHRAE recommendations for COVID-19 are to dilute, exhaust, contain and then clean kind of in that priority level so that’s within. And increasing outdoor air coming in through the systems, through the HVAC systems is increasing the ventilation and that increases that dilute exhaust. So one of the things that we do is we recommend that the air handler systems bring in a higher percentage of outdoor air. Next is filtration. Filtration is one of the things that contains. The level of filtration that is necessary to actually remove the COVID droplets is a very high level and those filters are pretty expensive which gets to kind of one of the technologies we’ll talk about in a second. This is the bi-polar ionization. So this is a technology that actually ionizes the particles in the air and makes that kind of clump together so that they’re more easily filtered out by less expensive filters. So this is one of the technologies that is fairly new but is proven to be pretty effective in treating the air. Not only for COVID-19 but for some of the other airborne particulates and infections. So with all of those kind of priorities and explaining kind of what we’re looking at we came up with a full list and there’s a much extensive list. This is kind of a high level summary of the recommendations that we made. Prioritizing the air quality in each of the facilities and also the touchless so reducing those touch points. This is primarily plumbing fixtures and sinks and soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers in bathrooms but there are some other things included in those touchless categories. Thinks like doors. Meaning public entry doors that would be either ADA operators or like electronic sliders so those fall into those categories. What you’ll see here is that there’s a wide variety of differences in the amount recommended for each facility and one of the big impacts of that is just the age of the HVAC systems that exist on those facilities. The public works facility is fairly new and it has a fairly new HVAC system and so that system is capable of bringing in more outdoor air than some of the other facilities in this list and so that’s one of the reasons that that one is a little bit lower than for instance city hall. So city hall the air handlers on this building are particularly outdated. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 17 They’re probably within 5 years of the end of their serviceable life so here at the city hall and senior center building we’re actually recommending for all new rooftop units to feed this building and that gives you a few things. That would give you a higher percentage of outdoor air. Be able to bring in more air like we talked about and then also to control the humidity which is also an important part of helping prevent the spread of that COVID virus. Keeping an indoor humidity between the 40 to 60 percent relative humidity is kind of key for reducing that spread. And then also implementing that bi-polar ionization technology and that would help us with being able to filter out particles that do get into the air. So that’s the city hall and senior center. That’s why that cost is a little bit higher. The library and the, the library already has newer units that can accommodate both the outside air and I think the humidity. So that facility already has upgraded mechanicals that can accommodate and achieve some of the CDC recommendations. The Rec Center has another HVAC project in the works so in conjunction with that project we’re only suggesting an additional $30,000 at that facility because what they’ll be implementing will be able to achieve some of these recommendations and we’re just suggesting that the bi-polar ionization be added to that system. And then the fire department, you can see that that’s a little bit lower and that’s a little bit lower despite the fact that that facility is a little bit older mostly because since there are fewer people in that building there’s not as much need for the air turnover. Also since it’s very limited right now they’re not allowing any public or anybody outside of the fire department staff to come into that building so because there’s less of a concern there with the air quality we’re recommending less interventions be made. Obviously these recommendations there’s a long list of all the bits and pieces. We tried as best we could to prioritize because limited funding is available and we wanted to make sure that you’re getting what the best impact of the money you have available to protect both your staff and the public that use these buildings. The library. The City Hall and public works, there are all public components to all those facilities so really want to implement those. To explain kind of the bottom line on this there’s also included in this the design fees which Greg will probably talk about. The only thing we’re asking for approval for tonight is the design fees to take all of this work into the next stage so we’ve identified opportunities of things that could be improved with this funding. The next step is really for us to sit down with city staff and understand which of these makes sense to implement and exactly the details of how they get implemented that’s best for city staff. We have a few options for rooftop units. For humidity control for this bi-polar ionization. Even for the touchless devices that get installed, there’s a number of options available and we want to make sure that we’re picking something that’s maintainable over the long term so that would be part of the next step. Also getting all the documentation together so that we can get building permits because this will need to be permitted work and that would happen over the course of the next 3 weeks. That’s part of that design fee category. The other thing that’s in there is contingency. Anytime we’re working on a construction project, especially on existing buildings you aren’t necessarily sure what you’re going to find when you start opening up walls and when you’re making changes so with any construction project we recommend a 10 percent contingency and that’s included in that number as well. So that gets us to a bottom line of $1.47 million dollars and that gets to kind of where the City was hoping that we would be because there’s some other things that are earmarked for that CARES funding so this is very tailored to the funding that you have available. Timeline, just to go through this. It is Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 18 a pretty aggressive timeline. We’re asking for City Council approval tonight so that we can move into design which would go over the next 3 weeks and then we would go into moving with staff review so that they would be able to review those plans. Make sure that we made all the correct assumptions and decisions and we got them all in to the documentation the way that the City anticipated. And then RJM, the contractor would be able to start working on procurement. With the CARES Act funding we are not required to go out to public bid. This would be direct negotiations so that helps move the timeline along because we are funding deadline. Everything must be completed or paid for, there’s some gray area there by November 15th so to get all of that in place we’re hoping to follow this pretty aggressive timeline but that’s why we’re asking for City Council approval of the design funding for tonight. I’m here to answer any questions. I know that was pretty quick. Mayor Ryan: No thank you very much. I appreciate it. I know we, thank you for sticking around. You were at 5:00 to begin sharing this information with us and I know council had a robust conversation at our work session where we did ask a lot of questions about, you know about the process. About some of the costs associated with it. Some of the technology so thank you for the kind of the Q and A and conversation in our work session and then again staying around tonight for a meeting and just again for clarification, this is all money that is coming from the federal government through the CARES Act and as Mr. Sticha said we received about $1.9 million in funding and it is to be used for you know for upgrades to the system to help spread, or help reduce the spread of COVID-19. I think you put it really well when you talked about the protection of other employees as well as visitors to city hall, to the library, to our public works building and from what we know now that’s how this virus is spreading is through the air and of course a little bit on with the touching of the surfaces so thank you for sharing this. Council I will of course ask if you have any further questions but I know most of the question and answer was done in our work session but of course if you have further questions please do ask. I will go around. Councilman McDonald do you have any questions? Or comments. Councilman McDonald: Well at this point we spent over an hour earlier this morning or this evening and I think all the questions I had were answered. I feel very confident moving forward with this as proposed so at this point I’m perfectly comfortable with voting yes and I have no further questions. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilman McDonald. Councilwoman Tjornhom any questions? Councilwoman Tjornhom: No I share what Councilman McDonald said. I’m sorry my cat is done with this meeting and I pushed her down like 3 times. Sorry. Yes I thank you so much for the presentation and I think it’s important that we do this and so I agree with what Councilman McDonald said. Mayor Ryan: Alright thank you. Councilwoman Coleman? Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 19 Councilwoman Coleman: In agreement. We had all our questions answered previously so appreciate you going through that again for everybody else. Mayor Ryan: Councilman Campion any questions? Councilman Campion: I do have one additional question that either I forgot to ask earlier or I missed in the content we discussed. If the work isn’t completed by the deadline, November 15th was the deadline to complete all the work right? What happens if it isn’t all done? Kimberly Sambolt: Correct. I believe it’s that all of the work has to be under contract and paid by the date which is kind of a very fine line clarification and there’s also potential that federal is going to extend that deadline. All of that said right now we are working with RJM as best we can to have all of the work that we are prescribing happen by November 15th. It’s understood that that needs to happen and we’re going to do our best to make it happen. Roger Knutson: Although there is certainly ambiguity. The current reading of the requirement is that the work must be completed by November 15th period. Now there is hope that that will change but when you’re entering into a contract hopefully you don’t base it on hope. Councilman Campion: Well and that’s my concern with all this is you know I do want to see it done quickly to protect city staff and visitors but at the same time you want to see that this money is spent wisely and the work’s done right and it is effective. You know so that’s one thing that I trust that will be watched closely that the work is done and it’s done right and that our taxpayer money is spent wisely because that’s what it is. Kimberly Sambolt: And RJM has also made it clear that they’ll make it part of their contract with their subcontractors that the work needs to be done by such and such a date and also offering incentives for it to be completed early if at all possible. So part of the big schedule concern will just be procurement of some of the devices and things that we’re looking at and one of the great things about working directly with RJM and not having kind of that traditional design bid is that we can work with them to specify things that are available that we can get on our timeline. Mayor Ryan: Do you have any further questions? Councilman Campion: I guess my additional comment to that is, that’s a concern as well right is because obviously this is going to create a bit of peak in demand for these items and you know I fear overpaying for items as a result of that and I don’t want to settle with substandard equipment because of that fact and the rush to get it done either so it’s something that has be balanced and I trust that RJM will do a good job managing that. Kimberly Sambolt: Right and our design end will be there to help make sure the quality is what we need. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 20 Mayor Ryan: So to further on that question. Tonight we’re approving the design contract and then before we move forward with the contract for actually doing the work that comes back to council correct? Councilman Campion: Correct. Mayor Ryan: And is there any way in that contract that I don’t know if it’s phased in or you rank the buildings that need to get done or you know in the meantime the construction team has identified yes we can get 6 units and so therefore those 6 units will go to city hall because we’ve ranked the buildings that are of utmost importance or however we want to do that, I think there should be some you know to Councilman Campion’s point I think we should put some of those maybe levers in place to evaluate before this contract comes back for when you know based on what they know they can get is what then we go through the stages of approving different amounts at that time versus saying yes we approve the $1.4 and hope we get a million out of it. Is that something that we can work into a contract? Kimberly Sambolt: Yes. Mayor Ryan: Okay. Mr. Knutson? Roger Knutson: Yes. Mayor Ryan: Yes okay. So let’s maybe approach it that way to make sure that, I mean I think Councilman Campion brought up a great point. We want to make sure that we protect ourselves and see how we can formulate that contract and you know work together. Greg Sticha: I think staff’s looking at multiple ways to protect ourselves. Mayor Ryan: Okay. Greg Sticha: With this. The first priority would be within the contract itself. Mayor Ryan: Okay. Greg Sticha: Protecting ourselves and then in the event that we have to find a different way to handle some of our CARES funding I think we’re looking at back up plans to make sure we ascertain those funds for these improvements. Mayor Ryan: Okay. And so we’ll just get an update at a future meeting but for tonight we’re just approving or not just because it’s a lot but we’re approving the $146,000 for it to begin the design process and then let’s work together to figure out what the future contract. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 21 Kimberly Sambolt: How to structure it. Mayor Ryan: How to structure it perfect. That would be great. Thank you for bringing that up Councilman Campion. If there’s no further questions I would stand for a motion. Greg Sticha: And I think I included one with an email earlier today so if you want me to re-read that email I could. Mayor Ryan: We no, I mean sure. You can re-read it. I mean I did, anyone not read the email? Greg Sticha: Roger drafted the motion so. If you’d like me to read it I can. Otherwise if you have it in front of you. Mayor Ryan: Sure, you can read it into the record. That’d be great. Greg Sticha: Okay the motion is to approve the contract modification to the professional services agreement with Leo A. Daly and Company for the amount of $146,000 and to table the agreement with RJM Construction. Roger Knutson: It’s $145,000. Greg Sticha: $145,000. Councilman McDonald: Madam Mayor I would move to approve the motion as read. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilman McDonald. Do we have a second? Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Councilwoman Tjornhom. Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded that the Chanhassen City Council approve the contract modification to the professional services agreement with Leo A. Daly and Company for the amount of $145,000 and to table the agreement with RJM Construction. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. Mayor Ryan: That motion carries 5-0. Thank you. COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS. None. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Chanhassen City Council – August 10, 2020 22 Mayor Ryan: Any administrative presentations? Heather Johnston: Madam Mayor, members of the council. This is on our website and we’ve pushed it out through social media but due to the storms last night Lotus Lake has reached the elevation where it is now no wake and so I just want to tell our cable viewers here. No wake on Lotus Lake until it’s safe for that to proceed and we do have more in formation on our website, thank you. Mayor Ryan: Thank you Ms. Johnston. CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None. Councilman Campion moved, Councilwoman Coleman seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. The City Council meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Submitted by Heather Johnston Interim City Manager Prepared by Nann Opheim
