MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY OF CENTERVILLE
FROM: KURT GLASER, CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: OPEN MEETING LAW REVIEW
DATE: AUGUST 12, 2022
CC: MARK STATZ, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
What is a “Meeting” under Open Meeting Law?
A “meeting” is where a quorum of a City Committee or the Council discuss, decide, or receives
information relating to the body’s official business. “Meetings” must be Open to the Public.
MEETINGS:
LEGAL
Physical gatherings and certain Zoom meetings with notice allowing public attendance
ILLEGAL
Group emails – “Reply All”
ILLEGAL
Serial communications
o Phone / texts from one Member to the next, and to the nextILLEGAL
o“Chain” emails and texts sent from one Member to the next, and to the nextILLEGAL
ILLEGAL
Secret meetings
o Send texts between Members during a meeting ILLEGAL
Why are these “Meetings” ILLEGAL?
Lawful meetings require Notice to the Public (Time and Place)
Lawful meetings must be open to the public
Regular Meetings
o Per a schedule on file at City Hall
Closed or Special Meetings
o 3-days posted notice
o 1-day mailed notice to Members
o 3-days mailed / published notice to anyone requesting notice of special meetings
Written materials used by the body during a meeting must be available to the Public
Where people have gotten in Trouble with the Open Meeting Law:
o Never text another meeting Member during a meeting – the public can’t see your
texts.
o Watch out for the “meeting after the meeting” or the “meeting in the parking
lot” – the public hasn’t been invited.
o Forwarding an email from one Member to another – once a quorum of the body
has seen that email, that is an OML violation.
What is NOT a “Meeting” under the Open Meeting Law?
Social gatherings …
City Training …
... where official business of your body is NOT discussed
Penalties
Violator to pay $300 fine per violation (City cannot pay this)
Violator Forfeits office after 3+ separate, intentional violations
City to pay reasonable costs, disbursements, and attorney fees
Best Practices:
Gatherings:Why take the risk?
If you think you’ll be gathering with other Members of your body, simply ask Staff to post notice
of a potential public meeting. In the past we have posted meeting notices for park and skate
events, funerals - we once posted a meeting notice to hang out in Tom Lee’s garage.
Emails:Let Staff do the emailing!
The City Administrator, Staff and Attorney can communicate with your entire body outside of a
meeting. If it is necessary to send information outside of a meeting, ask Staff to help by sending
and receiving emails with the entire body.
Always use your City email for City business - avoid using your personal email or texting
devices.

VII.1
TITLE OF ISSUE:
Recommending Appointment of Commissioners
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Attached is a list and map of "No Parking" areas in the city. Aside from these areas, parking is allowed during
the day. As a follow-up to our discussion on residential outside storage, we wanted to have a discussion about
on-street parking. The basic discussion topics are:
1. Should on-street parking be allowed overnight?
2. Are the current "No Parking" areas appropriate? Are there other areas that should be designated?
This issue is also being discussed due to the changes in the downtown area after the street reconstruction
project.

(9) Block 7 Property (Downtown) – “Sorel Quarter”
The developer (Centra Homes) has informed the city that they will no longer be pursuing a project on
Block 7, siting a slow-down in the townhome market and rising costs for infrastructure and building

them to see if there is a viable project to come back to the Planning Commission with in the near future.

of transportation related funds from the development. A first step will be to complete a corridor study of
th
the 20 Avenue (CSAH 54) route from Main Street to Birch Street. This study will help guide intersection

SEWER AND WATER
Commercial Water Connection Fee Assistance
At the last City Council meeting, the Council voted to extend the program through the end of 2023. The
program offers half-priced hook-up charges for businesses hooking to city water.
Wellhead Protection Plan
The Minnesota Department of Health held a kick-off meeting with city staff and consultants for the
implementation of the city’s Part-2 Wellhead Protection Plan. The group reviewed items in the documents
and the timelines associated with various activities. Staff will be following up on the action items over the
course of the next few months.
Well #2 Repairs
The city’s primary well (Well #2) started having some electrical problems a few months ago. Several weeks
ago, those problems got worse and ended up necessitating having the 14-year old pump and motor replaced,
along with the Variable Frequency Drive which runs the motor. In total, costs for the replacement of these
components amounted to just under $25,000. City staff made the decision to replace these elements in short
order, without bringing them before the council for a number of reasons. First, having the city’s primary
well out of service during the heat of the summer, is not a desireable situation. Secondly, some of the parts
were in and out of back-order status and staff felt it wise to move while they were available on a timely
basis.
We are happy to report that, during this outage, our redundant systems performed very well. The city’s
secondary well (Well #1) was able to keep up and the chemical and monitoring equipment at that well
performed as expected. Additional redundancies, in our two interconnections to the Lino Lakes water system
were double checked and stood at the ready. However, they were never needed, due to the adjustments made
by our public works department and the performance of our back-up well.
This situation was a reminder of the many things that go on behind the scenes to ensure our sewer and water
customers have reliable and safe service. Our staff and built-in redundant systems performed well and we
were glad to have them both at the ready.
