<br />WS – Item 2 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: July 10, 2023 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />Re: Minnesota Public Safety Aid <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The 2023 Tax Omnibus bill approved by the Minnesota legislature provides $300 million <br />in December 2023 to townships, cities, counties, and tribal governments for public safety <br />purposes. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety must determine and notify each <br />government entity the amount of public safety aid the entity will receive by August 1, <br />2023. The funds must be disbursed to the entities no later than December 26, 2023. <br /> <br />Based on the funding formula included in the legislation we anticipate that Lino Lakes <br />will receive approximately $929,294 in public safety aid. <br /> <br />Senator Gustafson, who was chief author of this legislation in the Senate, has previously <br />provided information on what this public safety aid can be used for. Here is that <br />information: <br /> Money to provide public safety, including but not limited to community violence <br />prevention and intervention programs, community engagement, mental health <br />crisis responses, victim services, training programs, first responder wellness, or to <br />pay other personnel or equipment costs. <br /> Proceeds may not be used for employer contributions to the public employee’s <br />police and fire fund if the entity received police state aid in the year immediately <br />prior, or any costs associated with alleged wrongdoing or misconduct. <br /> Proceeds may not be used for the purchase of an armored or tactical vehicle <br /> Proceeds may not be used for the purchase of tear gas, chemical munitions, or <br />substantially similar items <br /> Proceeds may not be used for construction, reconstruction, remodeling, <br />expansion, or improvement of a police station, including related facilities. For <br />purposes of this clause, "related facilities" includes access roads, lighting, <br />sidewalks, and utility components on or adjacent to the property on which the <br />police station is located that are necessary for safe access to and use of the <br />building. <br /> <br />The decision related to the use of these one-time public safety dollars will affect the <br />2024, and possibly the 2025, Public Safety budgeting process; therefore staff is seeking <br />Council direction on proposed uses of these funds. <br />33
