Emergency Executive Order 20-99
Implementing a Four Week Dial Back on Certain Activities
to Slow the Spread of COVID-19
I, Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
applicable statutes, issue the following Executive Order:
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present an unprecedented and rapidly evolving challenge
to our State. Minnesota has taken extraordinary steps to prevent and respond to the pandemic. On
March 13, 2020, I issued Executive Order 20-01 and declared a peacetime emergency because
this pandemic, an act of nature, threatens the lives of Minnesotans, and local resources are
inadequate to address the threat. Since declaring the peacetime emergency, I have extended it
every 30 days, with the most recent extension occurring on November 12, 2020.
Throughout the month of November, the data has made clear with each passing day that we need
to take decisive and aggressive action to contain the most recent phase of the pandemic.
Minnesota recently topped 240,000 total confirmed COVID-19 cases. It took Minnesota over 6
months to record 100,000 COVID-19 cases, but only 42 days to add an additional 100,000 new
cases. We averaged a state record of over 6,000 cases per day over the previous week, and on
November 14 we witnessed a record number of new cases (8,689). Today we mark another grim
milestone, grieving the loss of 67 of our neighbors, the highest number of deaths in a single day.
The Minnesota Department of Health’s (“MDH”) most recent weekly COVID-19 report found
that the current average rate of new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and intensive care unit
admissions, and deaths are the highest they have been since the start of the pandemic, far
exceeding the numbers we saw in the worst points of our surges in April and May.
Minnesota’s rate of “community spread”—meaning those cases that MDH cannot link to another
case or a source of exposure—is particularly concerning. At least one third of all new COVID-19
infections in Minnesota have no known source. According to metrics developed by the White
House Coronavirus Task Force (“Task Force”), Minnesota is officially in the “Red Zone”—the
most critical level of concern—for two main indicators of uncontrolled spread: test positivity rate
and new COVID-19 cases. MDH reports that the statewide percentage of positive COVID-19
tests has been steadily rising for the last four weeks, exceeding the 10% “Red Zone” threshold
1
for the first time since early May. Further, the Task Force considers a state to be in the “Red
Zone” for new cases when it reaches 100 cases per 100,000 residents over the course of a full
week. Minnesota is currently averaging over 100 cases per 100,000 residents each day. These
numbers tell a troubling story. The virus is everywhere, meaning that every interaction we have
with people outside of our households poses a risk of transmission. When we cannot effectively
trace infections due to community spread, we cannot keep COVID-19 out of our businesses, our
schools, or the congregate care facilities that house our most vulnerable residents. For the benefit
of our economy and all Minnesotans, we need to buckle down.
I recently issued Executive Order 20-96, which placed limits on the social gatherings and
establishments that posed the most serious concern according to MDH data. In the week since,
MDH has confirmed over 30 additional outbreaks connected to the gatherings, bars, and
restaurants that were encompassed by Executive Order 20-96. Unfortunately, these numbers, our
statewide cases, hospitalization rates, and our levels of community spread demonstrate that a
temporary dial back on in-person social activity and restrictions on certain businesses are
necessary.
Without question, these restrictions are significant and difficult, but this is not the “Stay-at-
Home” Order that Minnesotans saw in March and April. As we noted in Executive Order 20-96,
we have learned important lessons during this pandemic and must take thoughtful action when
we can to prevent the worst projected outcomes. To effectively address a mounting healthcare
crisis, we need to go beyond the measures taken in Executive Order 20-96. Accordingly, this
Executive Order will also impact the entertainment venues, event spaces, and similar
establishments that facilitate risky social interactions. In addition, as a former high school
football coach, I recognize the positive health impacts and unique developmental and social
benefits of sports. But the 192 outbreaks connected to sports are too concerning to let these
activities continue during this dial back. Sports-related cases are nearly twice as prevalent among
high school-age children as any other age group, and they increasingly play a key role in the
need to move schools to distance learning. Gyms, fitness centers, and exercise studios also need
to dial back their operations for similar reasons. The science shows us that exercise leads to
higher levels of exertion and exhalation—often by individuals who are not wearing masks—
greatly increasing the amount of airborne respiratory aerosol droplets that can carry COVID-19.
Finally, MDH has traced over 16,000 cases to out-of-state travel since the outset of this
pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) warns that travel increases
our chances of getting and spreading COVID-19 and that avoiding travel is the best way for us to
protect ourselves and others. Our nearest neighbors—North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and
Wisconsin—are experiencing some of the highest nationwide per capita increases in COVID-19
cases, and 48 states are now in the Task Force “Red Zone” for new COVID-19 cases. It is simply
not a good time for out-of-state travel that is anything short of essential, so this Order clarifies
my recommendation that Minnesotans refrain from unnecessary out-of-state travel for the next
four weeks and self-quarantine upon their return if they do decide to travel.
2
MDH case numbers show that extending this dial back to certain settings and businesses is not
necessary at this time. For example, we see relatively fewer outbreaks in retail settings, which
generally involve brief, masked, transient interactions that pose lower transmission risk.
According to the CDC, an individual is not considered a “close contact” of someone with
COVID-19 unless they were within 6 feet of the individual for 15 or more minutes. These
extended interactions can be limited in retail environments, and MDH will provide further
guidance on how to do so. Similarly, professional athletes and collegiate athletic programs have
developed strong protocols to protect their athletes, coaches, and staff, including regular testing
and self-imposed restrictions when COVID-19 cases reach certain thresholds.
Outbreaks and cases traced to personal care establishments have also been minimal since those
establishments reopened. Personal care typically involves one-on-one interactions (as opposed to
interactions with multiple persons) and healthcare-like precautions (like the requirement to wear
a face shield over a face covering in many situations), reducing the need to restrict these settings
during this dial back. Finally, outdoor recreation is an essential outlet for Minnesotans during
these challenging times. We discovered in the early stages of our spring reopening that these
activities can occur safely, so I encourage Minnesotans to continue to pursue outdoor recreation
with members of their household and in compliance with guidance from Department of Natural
Resources.
In dialing back on social activities, in-person dining, sports, and fitness establishments,
Minnesota joins an increasing number of states imposing similar measures, including California,
Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, and Vermont. Certain
establishments and businesses can continue to offer goods and services in a safe manner in
accordance with applicable guidance available at the Stay Safe Minnesota website
(https://staysafe.mn.gov), but many will again have to weather the challenge of adjusting their
operations to “to-go” or virtual means. In the near term, we know that this will be a hardship. In
the long term, I hope that this significant step will prove beneficial to Minnesotans, our schools,
and our economy, and safely bridge the gap to more permanent solutions to this pandemic.
In Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.02, the Minnesota Legislature conferred upon the
Governor emergency powers to “(1) ensure that preparations of this state will be adequate to deal
with disasters, (2) generally protect the public peace, health, and safety, and (3) preserve the
lives and property of the people of the state.” Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section
12.21, subdivision 1, the Governor has general authority to control the state’s emergency
management as well as carry out the provisions of Minnesota’s Emergency Management Act.
Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.21, subdivision 3(7), authorizes the Governor to cooperate
with federal and state agencies in “matters pertaining to the emergency management of the state
and nation.” This includes “the direction or control of . . . the conduct of persons in the state,
including entrance or exit from any stricken or threatened public place, occupancy of facilities,
and . . . public meetings or gatherings.” Pursuant to subdivision 3 of that same section, the
Governor may “make, amend, and rescind the necessary orders and rules to carry out the
provisions” of Minnesota Statutes 2020, Chapter 12. When approved by the Executive Council
3
and filed in the Office of the Secretary of State, such orders and rules have the force and effect of
law during the peacetime emergency. Any inconsistent rules or ordinances of any agency or
political subdivision of the state are suspended during the pendency of the emergency.
For these reasons, I order as follows:
1. Executive Orders 20-74, 20-85, and 20-96 are rescinded as of Friday, November 20,
2020 at 11:59 pm.
2. Paragraphs Paragraphs 6 and 7 of this Executive Order Executive Order are effective are effective from from FridayFridayFriday, November 20, , November 20,

3. Masks and face coverings required. Executive Order 20-81, requiring face
coverings in certain settings, remains in full force and effect.
4. At-risk persons. All persons currently living within the State of Minnesota who are
at risk of severe illness from COVID-19, as defined by Executive Order 20-55, are

d. Requirements for all businesses. Since June 29, 2020, all businesses in
Minnesota (whether Critical or Non-Critical) have been required to have a
COVID-19 Preparedness Plan (“Plan”) and implement that plan. All
businesses must continue to follow the same requirements. Each Plan must
provide for the business’s implementation of guidance for their specific
industry or, if there is no specific guidance, general guidance for all
businesses, as well as Minnesota OSHA Standards and MDH and CDC
Guidelines in their workplaces. These requirements are set forth in guidance
(“Plan Guidance”) available on the Stay Safe Minnesota website
(https://staysafe.mn.gov).
i. Required Plan content. As set forth in the Plan Guidance, at a
minimum, each Plan must adequately address the following areas:
A. Require work from home whenever possible. All Plans must

(i.e., businesses that have in-person customer interactions) must
include additional Plan provisions to keep the public and workers safe
as set forth in the applicable guidance available on the Stay Safe
Minnesota website (https://staysafe.mn.gov). This includes
requirements that workers and customers must maintain physical
15
distancing of 6 feet and that store occupancy must not exceed limits set
forth in the guidance. In customer facing businesses that share
common areas, such as malls, all Plans must similarly include a
facility occupancy that must not exceed the limits set forth in the
guidance and provide an enhanced sanitizing, cleaning, and
disinfecting regimen consistent with Minnesota OSHA Standards and
MDH and CDC Guidelines for those common areas. All Plans must
also include signage in common areas to discourage congregating.
iii. Household services businesses. All businesses that provide household
services (e.g., housecleaning, maid services, and piano tuners) must
also develop Plan provisions intended to keep customers and workers
safe as set forth in the applicable guidance available on the Stay Safe

v. Certification and signature. Senior management responsible for
implementing the Plan must sign and certify the Plan, affirming their
commitment to implement and follow the Plan.
vi. Dissemination and posting. Each business must provide its Plan, in
writing, to all workers, and the Plan must be posted at all of the
business’s workplaces in locations that will allow for the Plan to be
readily reviewed by all workers. Where physical posting is
impracticable, the Plan can be posted electronically, provided that the
Plan is received by all workers and remains available for their review.
vii. Training. Each business must ensure that training is provided to
workers on the contents of its Plan and required procedures, so that all
workers understand and are able to perform the precautions necessary
to protect themselves and their co-workers. This training should be
easy to understand and available in the appropriate language and
literacy level for all workers. Businesses should also take steps to
supervise workers and ensure that workers understand and adhere to
necessary precautions to prevent COVID-19 transmission.
Documentation demonstrating compliance with this training
requirement must be maintained and made available to regulatory
authorities and public safety officers, including DLI, upon request.
viii. Compliance. Workers and management must work together to ensure
compliance with the Plan, implement all protocols, policies, and
procedures, and create a safe and healthy work environment.
16
ix. Exposure notification protocol. As set forth in the general industry
guidance available on the Stay Safe Minnesota website
(https://staysafe.mn.gov), businesses must establish a protocol for
identifying and communicating with workers who may have been
exposed to a person with COVID-19 symptoms or who has tested
positive for COVID-19 while at work.
x. Availability to regulatory authorities and public safety officers.
Businesses do not need to submit their Plans for preapproval. Upon
request, businesses must make their Plans available to regulatory
authorities and public safety officers, including DLI, MDH, the
Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, and city and county attorneys.

applicable guidance, Minnesota OSHA Standards and MDH and CDC
Guidelines in its workplaces.

requirements, which are adaptable to higher education institutions, are
set forth in the general guidance available at the Stay Safe Minnesota
website (https://staysafe.mn.gov) and other applicable guidelines.
A. Required Higher Ed Plan content. At a minimum, each

businesses must post social distancing and hygiene instructions at entrances and in
locations that can be easily seen by customers and visitors.
9. Enhanced local measures permitted. Nothing in this Executive Order or previous
Executive Orders should be construed to prohibit or prevent political subdivisions
from implementing, within their jurisdictions and pursuant to applicable law and
authority, restrictions beyond the restrictions contained in this Executive Order, as
long as those additional restrictions have a real or substantial relation to the public
health crisis caused by COVID-19. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section
21
12.32, political subdivisions may not relax or reduce this Executive Order’s
restrictions. In other words, to the extent that they have authority to do so, cities and
other political subdivisions may take actions that are more protective of the public
health but may not take actions that are less protective of the public health.
10. Enforcement. I urge all Minnesotans to voluntarily comply with this Executive
Order. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 12.45, an individual who
willfully violates this Executive Order is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction must be punished by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or by imprisonment for
not more than 90 days. Any business owner, manager, or supervisor who requires or
encourages any of their employees, contractors, vendors, volunteers, or interns to
violate this Executive Order is guilty of a gross misdemeanor and upon conviction
must be punished by a fine not to exceed $3,000 or by imprisonment for not more
than a year. In addition to those criminal penalties, the Attorney General, as well as
city and county attorneys, may investigate and seek any civil relief available pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 8.31, for violations or threatened violations of
this Executive Order, including but not limited to injunctive relief, civil penalties in
an amount to be determined by the court, up to $25,000 per occurrence, costs of
investigation and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, and other equitable relief as
determined by the court in accordance with section 8.31. State and local licensing and
regulatory entities that inspect businesses for compliance with rules and codes to
protect the public are encouraged to assess regulated businesses’ compliance with this
Executive Order and use existing enforcement tools to bring businesses into
compliance. Nothing in this Executive Order is intended to encourage or allow law
enforcement to transgress individual constitutional rights
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 4.035, subdivision 2, and section 12.32, this
Executive Order is effective immediately upon approval by the Executive Council. It remains in
effect until the peacetime emergency declared in Executive Order 20-01 is terminated or until it
is rescinded by proper authority.
A determination that any provision of this Executive Order is invalid will not affect the
enforceability of any other provision of this Executive Order. Rather, the invalid provision will
be modified to the extent necessary so that it is enforceable.
Signed on November 18, 2020.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Main Street Market SHIP Grant
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Last year, a grant was secured to help fund the kick-off of the Main Street Market; a farmer's and crafts market
set to have a 6 week run in July & August of last year. The market was canceled due to COVID-19. The grant
was only good through 2020. However, Anoka County staff suggested applying for a similar funding source
with no funding cycle timelines. Staff has completed this application and is awaiting approval. The new
application covers the same items as the original grant, with a slightly higher budget (original grant was for
$2,900; new grant is for $3,500). The covered costs are the purchase of 6 picnic benches, newspaper
advertising and portable signage to promote the event.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
$3,500 grant funded

VI.1
TITLE OF ISSUE:
Centennial Youth Hockey Association - Request for Ice Time - LaMotte Park Hockey Rink
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
As in past years, the CYHA has requested the use of the LaMotte Park Hockey Rink for practices and games.
There has not been a charge for this use in the past and staff is not suggesting there be one this year either. The
city makes no guarantees for the availability of ice or the warming house. Both are secondary priorities for our
staff, as they attend to plowing and other public works duties first. Additionally, their use would be subject to
any restrictions from state or local governments related to COVID mitigation.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
No cost. No revenue.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to approve the use of the LaMotte Park Hockey Rink by the Centennial Youth Hockey Association for
the 2020 - 2021 season as requested, subject to availability and applicable restrictions.

ELECTIONS
A huge thank you to all of our election judges for their hard work
on election day, under such unique circumstances. Also, thank
you to our City Clerk for her tireless efforts over the past month
and a half as we administered an unprecedented number of early
ballots. On election night, our results were submitted to the
county and posted to the Secretary less than an
hour after the polls closed. Finally, we would like to thank our citizens for their patience as
they waited in long lines to ensure their neighbors were protected by maintaining proper social
distancing and allowing time for disinfection of voting booths, between users.
Congratulations to our election winners. The results of the election will be considered for
ng Board (the City Council) on November 12, at 6:30 PM in
(which has been pushed back a day due to
Veterans Day). Results shown below are as of 11/07/2020 at 5:34 PM

FINANCE
COVID-19 Relief Programs
The next submittal for qualifying expenses is due November 10, for expenses through
October 31. A final submittal will be due on November 24 for expenses through November
15. The city anticipates having enough qualifying expenses to account for all of the $304,902
of federal funds allocated to us. The funds came to cities, through the CARES Act, offsetting
expenses related to the pandemic through November 15, 2020. Expenditures submitted
include, but are not limited to:
Direct expenses (hand sanitizer, PPE, remote work expenses, etc.)
Construction project delay expenses
Police and Fire Department direct expenses and diverted staff time
Public works and city hall diverted staff time
North Metro TV direct expenses
Small Business relief, through EDA programs
Anticipated expenses
City Hall renovation costs to adapt to COVID
Additional divert City Staff time.
The deadline for expending these funds is November 15, 2020.
2021 Budget
The Preliminary 2021 Budget was adopted by the City Council at its September 23 meeting.
If adopted as a Final Budget, it would raise the levy by less than 1%. The City Council may
reduce the budget and levies, but not increase them, prior to adoption of the final versions in
December.
At the next City Council Work Session, a long-range budget forecast will be reviewed along
with additional information from Anoka County on property valuation to better understand
the tax implications of our budget and levy.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Centerville Elementary School
Centennial School District is in the early stages of planning an addition to Centerville
Elementary. The addition would add classroom space to add one section to each grade.
Architects working with the district are looking to fill in some of the courtyard space on the
west side of the building and extend the building footprint to the north a bit, necessitating a
move of the current playground equipment. With this configuration, the design will look to
incorporate natural light into the classrooms that would otherwise have views to the courtyard.
The expansion would not require any new work on the parking lot.
The expansion will require a re-route of some city owned sanitary sewer lines. The re-route is being
being reviewed by city staff. Any costs
associated with this will be borne by the school district.
Apartment Complex Concept Plan
The Planning and Zoning Commission was presented with a concept plan for a 3-story, 96-
thst
unit apartment complex sited on commercially zoned land between 20 and 21 Avenues,
north of Main Street. The project would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
Rezoning. If the developer chooses to pursue these land use requests, a public hearing
would be scheduled to receive community input on the proposal.
th
Centerville Storage (20Ave. Mini Storage)
Building pads have been poured and work continues on the driveway areas and site grading.

process of subdividing the property. We anticipate a sketch plan in the near future.

Project (1825 Main Street)
A building permit has now been
issued. Tree removal is
complete and erosion control
measures are in place. Grading
will begin next and construction
of the building should continue
through the winter. Artistic
renderings of the finished
facility were recently shared on
social media sites (see
right/below).
Driveway and Parking Ordinance Review
The Planning and Zoning Commission continues to work diligently on issues related to what
and where certain vehicles can be parked on residential properties. Both the existing
ordinance and the one being contemplated by P&Z do not allow parking of any vehicles in
the front yard (not on the driveway).
Public Hearings Scheduled
The Planning and Zoning Commission held Public Hearings on ordinances related to:
Industrial District Outdoor Storage Requirements, Lawn Maintenance, Backyard Chickens
and B-2 Commercial Allowed Uses at their meeting on October 20, 2020 meeting. The
commission advanced suggested changes to each ordinance to the City Council for
consideration.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Cancelled
The regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission for November has been
cancelled. The commission meets again on December 2, 2020.

will move into construction of the renovation work in the City Council Chambers and
front lobby area (see rendering below). This work should wrap up by mid-January.
The City is working towards a City Hall re-opening on February 1, 2021, including a
transition to in-person meetings of the City Council and various Committees. Of
course, as conditions of the pandemic change, this scheduled will be reevaluated.

done on their dump boxes are completed and in service, just in time.

after, depending on how the pavement looks upon inspection next spring.
The project has been hyrdo-seeded. This should allow for good turf growth early next
spring. Mail service has been switched back to normal delivery at permanent mailboxes.
A credit against all assessments has been issued, since sod was initially planned as part of
the project. Watch your mail for a letter outlining the specifics of your credit.
PARKS AND RECREATION

Alcohol and Tobacco Sales Checks
We are happy to report that all local alcohol and tobacco sale licensees recently passed their
compliance checks. The checks are coordinated by our police department, using undercover
volunteers who are not of age for the purchase of alcohol or tobacco. The volunteers, this
time around were over 18, but under 21 years of age, to ensure compliance with the new
Tobacco 21 laws. When our local establishments ask for ID, they pass the test. Thanks to
those businesses for running reputable operations that keep our kids safe.
