Annually, the City Council must determine whether to waive the municipal tort liability limits
established by state statute. The City has not waived them in the past as it opens the City to
greater financial liability. Staff recommends maintaining that practice via the following motion.
Councilor Pulford made a motion to authorize staff to remit the Liability Coverage —Waiver
Form to LMCIT indicating the City does not waive the monetary limits on municipal tort
liability established by MS 466.04. This was seconded by Councilor Dains and carried
unanimously.
B. Contract for Architectural Services with Studio EA
The city attorney and attorney for Studio EA have come to terms on the agreement for
architectural services for the construction of a new building at 2430 Larpenteur Avenue. The
contract amount is $94,500. This does not include the topographic and geotechnical analysis that
will need to be done to assess soil conditions.
Councilor Dains made a motion to enter into an agreement for architectural services with Studio
EA as defined in the AE Design Agreement and General Conditions as presented. This was
seconded by Councilor Pulford and carried unanimously.
C. Quote for Storm Sewer Cleaning and Televising
Last year, the sanitary sewer system was cleaned, televised, inspected, and repaired. The plan for
this year is to clean and televise the storm sewer pipes and inspect the storm sewer manholes.
Repairs would happen in conjunction with the future mill -and -overlay project.
The city engineer estimated the cost at $80,000. She facilitated a request for quotes among four
companies known to do this kind of work. Only one prepared a response — Pipe Services. The
question before the Council was whether to accept the response from Pipe Services or to direct
the city engineer to research other options. Pipe Services' response of $61,554.00 was below the
engineer's estimate.
Councilor Pulford made a motion directing staff to enter into an agreement with Pipe Services
for the cleaning and televising of the City's storm sewer system. This was seconded by
Councilor Dains and carried unanimously.
Set Agenda for Next Meeting
Butkowski stated that the next meeting may include an ordinance providing for non-residential
plumbing permit administration, revisions to the sewer utility ordinance, and the annual report by
County Commissioner Mary Jo McGuire.

the concept plan review for their senior co-op building.
B. Opportunity for the Public to Address the City Council
Mayor Pro Tem Sayre opened the floor to those interested in addressing the Council.
Kedar Deshpande, District Three Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner, expressed his concerns
about the removal of the left-hand turn lane onto Broadway Drive for cars traveling northbound
on Highway 280. His apprehensions revolve around commuting problems for citizens, access to
local businesses, and from the Park Board's standpoint, difficulties in completing the Grand
Rounds Scenic Byway System.
Dan Engelhart, District One Minneapolis Park Board Commissioner, also expressed concerns
about traffic flow with the closure of the Broadway turn from Highway 280. In particular, he
mentioned how this will adversely affect the southeast Como neighborhoods that he represents.
There being nobody else interested in speaking, Mayor Pro Tem Sayre closed the floor.
Adjournment
Councilor Pulford moved and seconded by Councilor Dains to adjourn the meeting at 7:43 p.m.

LAUDERDALE COUNCIL
ACTION FORM
Meeting Date June 9, 2026
Agenda Item Plumbing Plan Review Ord.
Action Requested
Consent ❑ Public Hearing 0 Discussion X❑
Action ❑X Resolution ❑ Work Session ❑
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
Rum River Construction Consultants (RRCC), the City's contracted building official, now has the
capacity to perform commercial plan reviews for plumbing. When a City does not offer that
service, the reviews are performed by the State via the Department of Labor and Industry.
The benefit to the City and our property owners is that RRCC will perform the plumbing plan
reviews in days instead of week. Getting this in place was motivated by the Bolger Printing
project the Council approved at the last meeting. The state queue for the plumbing review for the
project was a minimum of 12 weeks or essentially the entire construction season. This will also
benefit Lauderdale BP once their project is approved and awaiting permits.
Implementation of the change requires four votes. The first is the adoption of the following
ordinance. RRCC drafted and the city attorney reviewed. It is ready for adoption after a public
hearing. Second is the adoption of the ordinance allowing publication by title and summary.
Third, the City's contract with RRCC needs to be updated to reflect the plumbing permit plan
reviews. Finally, the adoption of a resolution that will be remitted with the application to the
State to complete the transfer of authority for plumbing plan reviews. This memo addresses the
first two items.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 26-01, creating Title 9, Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances titled
Plumbing Permit Administration, Plan Review, and Inspections.
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 060926A - Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance No.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Date: June 9, 2026
To: Lauderdale City Council
From: Carri Levitski, Senior Advisor I Government Relations, Rum River Consultants
CC: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator
Andy Schreder, Chief Building Official and Co-owner, Rum River Consultants
Roxanne Schreder, Human Resources & Finance Director, Rum River Consultants
Background
The State of Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) conducts plumbing plan reviews for permits in
Lauderdale, as stipulated in Minn. R. 1300.0215, Subpart 6.
Minn. Stat. § 326B.43, Subdivision 2 permits the delegation of authority for the aforementioned plumbing plan
reviews for public and commercial projects to municipalities. This statute enables the DLI Commissioner to
establish an agreement with a municipality, in which the municipality agrees to carry out plan reviews typically
performed by the commissioner or their designee.
To obtain this special delegation, the City of Lauderdale must undertake several key steps to formalize the
delegation, including the approval of an ordinance to offer local plumbing plan review services, the
endorsement of an application and submission of an agreement with the State of Minnesota, and ensuring the
designated representative of the municipality is eligible to perform the local plumbing plan reviews. The City is
required to, and has previously, adopted the Minnesota Plumbing Code as part of its adoption of the Minnesota
Building Code.
This delegation agreement will benefit the City of Lauderdale by generating additional revenue that the State of
Minnesota usually retains by conducting these reviews. More importantly, the customer service benefits for
permit applicants and residents are significant. The State is typically twelve (12) weeks or more behind on plan
review, causing considerable delays in construction. Rum River Consultants ("RRC") has indicated its capacity
to review plumbing plans in a fraction of that time. If the City receives this delegation, it will enable projects to
begin and conclude more swiftly in Minnesota's demanding climate.
Fiscal Note
By conducting local plumbing plan reviews, the City of Lauderdale will generate additional fee revenue.
Although the exact amount remains uncertain due to unknown future remodel and new construction commercial
development, sizable public and commercial projects hold the potential to have a significant impact.
Alternatives
If the city council chooses not to adopt the proposed ordinances or the plumbing plan review agreement with
DLI, the state will continue to review the plumbing plans for commercial and public buildings which could have
a negative impact on construction timelines for all commercial and public buildings.
CITY OF LAUDERDALE

ACTION FORM
Meeting Date June 9, 2026
Agenda Item Rum River Consultants
Action Requested
Consent ❑ Public Hearing ❑ Discussion
Action Resolution ❑ Work Session ❑
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
As noted previously, the City's contract with Rum River Construction Consultants (RRCC) needs
to be updated to reflect the plumbing permit plan review delegation. A copy of the contact is
attached along with attorney comments. Many of the comments are minor. Staff will try to work
out final terms before Tuesday and come with a clean copy to the council meeting. If that doesn't
happen, the agreement can be moved to the next agenda for finalizing.
The most notable difference between the existing contract and the new one is the change in
permit revenue sharing. Previously, the City received 30 percent of permit revenue to cover in-
house administrative costs. All of RRCC's other contracts were negotiated at 80 percent and they
want to bring Lauderdale's into alignment. While unfortunate, it does reflect the automation that
their new software does that has decreased city staffs workload. Another off set will be shared
revenue on commercial plumbing permit plan reviews.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt agreement after final revisions are agreed to.

access to and use of Baseline by Jurisdiction staff. The Baseline Agreement is intended to operate in
coordination with this Agreement and does not require separate payment by the Jurisdiction unless and until
expressly provided therein.
Any technology fees associated with an applicant's use of the Baseline platform shall be collected by the
Contractor and remitted to Baseline through the Contractor's monthly invoicing process, as further described
in the Baseline Agreement.
8. Reporting Services. The Jurisdiction is responsible for all Minnesota State mandated reporting requirements.

agency, the Contractor will bill the Jurisdiction as-agreed-upen-es set forth in this Agreement
9. Transportation Expenses. The Contractor shall provide transportation to meetings and site inspections
within the Jurisdiction at no additional cost.
10. Cost for Services. The Contractor reserves the right to change the prices and services offered in the attached
Exhibits A-F. The Contractor shall provide the Jurisdiction sib (60)seventy-five (751 days written [notice in
advance of any such proposed changes. The Jurisdiction agrees that while performing services identified in
the attached Exhibits A-F, the Contractor is acting as a "public official" on the Jurisdiction's behalf.
11. Billing and Payment. Invoices shall be submitted periodically (customarily monthly) and are due and payable
within thirty-five (35) days of receipt by the Jurisdiction. Past due balances may accrue interest at a rate of
1.0% per month (or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, if less).
12. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date written above and be renewed automatically each calendar
year (referred to herein as the "Term"), unless terminated as provided herein. With the execution of this
Agreement, it is the intention of the Contractor and the Jurisdiction to review this Agreement annually.

other party. In the event of a material breach, the Agreement may be terminated with ten (10) days written
notice to the other party. In the event the Jurisdiction elects to terminate based upon an alleged material breach,

LA135\3\1099049.v1 3
Commented [AF2]: Removed duplicative language
with "as set forth"
Commented (AF3]: The only language on reporting I
see in this agreement falls within Exhibit F on code
compliance and nuisance abatement. Billing for reports
therein is $95/hr.
This deserves more consideration, particularly if it
might reasonably encompass data requests with
reports. Some of these reports may be easily
generated by Baseline (does it have that capacity for
the user to generate itself?).
Commented [AF4]: I'd like to see this notice greater
than that required for termination so that, in the event
of a major rate change, the City can avoid any payment
of that major change after short consideration (by
terminating before its effectiveness).
Consider 75 day notice to enable this
15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable. If any part of this Agreement is
rendered void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, such rendering shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.
16. Independent Contractor. The Contractor shall perform the Services identified in the attached Exhibits as an
independent contractor of the Jurisdiction, and not as an employee. No withholdings or deductions shall be
made from payments due to the Contractor. The Contractor shall not be eligible for benefits, workers
compensation, or unemployment benefits. To the extent allowable by law, the Contractor may subcontract the
performance of certain administrative or other duties under the Agreement. The Contractor shall be
responsible for the performance of all subcontractors.
17. Performance. The Contractor shall complete the performance of Services in the attached Exhibits in
accordance with the conditions described in this Agreement. The Contractor shall maintain all certifications
and/or licenses required by the State of Minnesota. The Contractor shall perform the Services in a manner
consistent with that of a reasonable and prudent Code Official.
18. Warranty of Workmanship and Timely Completion. The Contractor warrants that all work completed for
and within the Jurisdiction shall be done in a workmanlike and timely manner in accordance with applicable
industry standards. If the Jurisdiction receives complaints or comments regarding inadequate performance,
the Jurisdiction is to inform the Contractor in writing as soon as practical and allow the Contractor the ability
to address and answer to said complaint or comment.
19. Regulatory Compliance. The Contractor shall abide by all federal, state, and local laws, statutes, ordinances,
rules, and regulations now in effect or hereinafter adopted pertaining to this Agreement or to the Services,
facilities, programs, and staff for which the Contractor is responsible. The Contractor shall procure, at the
Contractor's expense, all licenses, or other rights required for the provision of the Services. Any violation of
federal, state, or local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, or regulations, as well as loss of any applicable license,
permit, or certification by the Contractor shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, regardless of
the reason and whether or not intentional, and shall entitle the Jurisdiction to terminate this Agreement
effective as of the date of such violation, failure, or loss.
20. Data Practices Compliance. The Contractor will have access to data collected or maintained by the
Jurisdiction to the extent necessary to perform the Contractor's obligations under this Agreement. The
Contractor agrees to maintain all data obtained from the Jurisdiction in the same manner as the Jurisdiction is
required under Minn. Stat. § Chapter 13, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. The Jurisdiction is
responsible for all data requests for permits that are currently classified as inactive. The Contractor is
responsible for all data requests for permits that are currently -classified as active. For the purposes of this
section, active means permits that have not been closed out by the Contractor and inactive means permits that
have been closed out by the Contractor. The Contractor will not release or disclose the contents of data
classified as not public to any person except at the written direction of the Jurisdiction. Upon termination of
this Agreement, the Contractor agrees to return all data pertaining to the Jurisdiction within sixty (60) days of
Agreement termination.
LA135\3\1099049.v1 4
Commented [AF5]: Currently as of effective date or
currently as a general statement? The subsequent
definition's discussion of contractor implies currently as
a going consideration, though its use here may lead to
some confusion.
I've offered language which reflects my understanding
of this responsibility as a going consideration
21. Insurance. During the entire term of this Agreement, the Contractor shall maintain the following and will
provide the Jurisdiction with evidence of the same upon request: (1) Commercial general liability insurance
coverage with a policy limit of at least $1,500,000 per occurrence; (2) Business automobile liability coverage
with a total liability limit of at least $1,500,000; and (3) Workers' compensation insurance. If the Contractor
is not required by law to carry workers' compensation insurance, in place of proof of workers' compensation,
the Contractor may provide a written statement of exemption specifying the particular provision of Minn.
Stat. § 176.041 that exempts the Contractor from having to carry such coverage. If the Contractor is required
by law to carry workers' compensation insurance, the Contractor shall, at the time of execution of this
Agreement, furnish evidence satisfactory to the Jurisdiction that the Contractor maintains insurance coverage
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Jurisdiction shall be named as an additional insured on the
commercial general liability insurance policy, providing proof of the same to Jurisdiction upon request.

State Auditor to perform the audit, the Jurisdiction shall bear the cost. If the Contractor requests the State
Auditor to perform the audit, the Contractor shall bear the cost.
23. Indemnification, Hold Harmless, and Defend. Any claims that arise against the Contractor, its agents or
employees as a consequence of any act of ..,..lice and t ettt good f ith of actions arising out of the
Agreement
Agreement shall in no way be the obligation or responsibility of the Jurisdiction. The Contractor shall
indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the Jurisdiction, its officers, agents, and employees against any and all
liability, loss, costs, damages, expenses, claims, or actions, including attomey fees which the Jurisdiction, its
officers, agents, or employees may hereafter sustain, incur, or be required to pay, arising out of services
performed under this Agreement or by reason of any act of negligence, gross
negligence, or willfulness of the Contractor, its agents, servants, or employees, in the execution, performance,
or failure to adequately perform the Contractor's obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
This Agreement to hold harmless and indemnify shall not apply to any claim arising out of a situation where
the Contractor has previously notified the City Administrator in writingiurisdictien of a failure by an owner
or permit applicant to comply with the appropriate Code and the Jurisdiction fails to enforce the Code.

liability, including but not limited to MN Rules 1300.0110, Subpart 9, and Minnesota Statute §466.04.

Commented [AF6]: Under what circumstances is the

front and rephrasing this sentence as "At the request of
the City Administrator, the Contractor shall provide..."

termination or expiration is confusing naming.

City's responsibility unless the City terminates its
agreement with RRC, at which point an "activation
event" occurs and then the fees, etc all spring up.
Commented [AF9]: This just directs to the general
website for Baseline. Is there a more applicable link or,
preferably, a better description of the end -user
documentation?
(g) "Services" means the software -as -a -service offering described in Exhibit G-1.
2. Access and Use.
(a) Provision of Access. Subject to and conditioned on Customer's compliance with all other terms and
conditions of this Agreement and following an Activation Event, Customer's payment of applicable Fees,

(d) Reservation of Rights. Provider reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement.
Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this
Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Customer or any third party any
intellectual property rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the Provider IP.
(e) Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Provider may temporarily
suspend Customer's and any Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Services if: (i) Provider

Authorized User's use of the Provider IP disrupts or poses a security risk to the Provider IP or to any other
customer or vendor of Provider; (C) Customer, or any Authorized User, is using the Provider IP for
fraudulent or illegal activities; (D) subject to applicable law, Customer has ceased to continue its business
in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets,
or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding;
(E) Customer's breach or non-compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement: or (F) Provider's
LA 135\3\ 1099049.v l 18
provision of the Services to Customer or any Authorized User is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) any
vendor of Provider has suspended or terminated Provider's access to or use of any third -party services or
products required to enable Customer to access the Services; or (iii) in accordance with Section 5(a)(iii);
(any such suspension described in subclause (i), (ii), or (iii), a "Service Suspension"). Provider shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer and to
provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Services following any Service Suspension.
Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as
reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. Provider will have no
liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of da4 except as may be allowed under
Minn. Stat. Ch. 13, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act,' orprofits)2 or any other consequences
that Customer or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension, except where such
Service Suspension is under subclause (ii) herein and is the result of Provider's breach of an applicable
agreement for those services or products' to which it is a party. 'Provider will not credit, -cf•nd, or suspend
any obligation of Customer to make timely payment of Fees following an Activation Event for the duration
during -of any Service Suspension which is not the fault of Customer{, except as set forth in Exhibit G-2J
(f) Aggregated Statistics. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Provider may
monitor Customer's use of the Services and collect and compile Aggregated Statistics. As between
Provider and Customer, all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Statistics, and all intellectual property
rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Provider. Customer acknowledges that Provider may
compile Aggregated Statistics based on Customer Data input into the Services. Customer agrees that
Provider may (i) make Aggregated Statistics publicly available in compliance with applicable law, (ii) use
Aggregated Statistics to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law, and (iii) use
Aggregated Statistics for any Provider business purpose, including product improvement, marketing, and
analytics.
3. Customer Responsibilities. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Services and Documentation
resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by
or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible
for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would
constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by
Customer. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement's
provisions as applicable to such Authorized User's use of the Services, and shall cause Authorized Users to
comply with such provisions.
4. Service Levels and Support.
(a) Service Levels. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to make the Services available in accordance with the service levels set out in Exhibit
G-2.L
LA13513\1099049.v1 19
Commented [AF111: If Baseline is hosting customer
data which is subject to the MGDPA, the City should
not allow Provider to waive liability for any loss of that
data that may lead to City liability.
Commented [AF121: I do not recommend allowing
Provider to waive liability for consequences that the
City may incur as a result of a Service Suspension due
to Provider's own failure to comply with the terms of
agreements it is a party to.
Commented [AF13]: If the City cannot utilize the
service and that inability is not the City's fault, I would
prefer that any fees be suspended for the duration of
that period.
Commented [AF14]: To my review, nothing in Exhibit
G-2 addresses any credit, refund, or suspension of
customer obligations to make timely payments of fees.
Commented [AF151: The service levels established in
Exhibit G-2 are relatively minimal, dealing more with
support services than service levels. I would like to see
more clarity on this section than is currently provided.
WiII the Services be accessible in accordance with
commercial reasonableness? Will maintenance or
other instances where the Services may not be
accessible only occur on weekends (absent
emergency)?
(b) Support. The access rights granted hereunder entitle Customer to the support services described on Exhibit
G-2 for the Tem.
5. Fees and Payment.
(a) Fees. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no fees are due under this Agreement unless and until
an Activation Event occurs.
(i)
Prior to an Activation Event, any technology fees associated with applicant use of the Services shall
be collected by Rum River Consultants and remitted to Provider in accordance with Rum River
Consultants' agreement with Customer, and Customer shall have no obligation to remit such fees
directly to Provider.
(ii) Following an Activation Event, Customer shall be responsible for paying all fees under this Agreement
directly to Provider, in accordance with the fees mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties and
set forth in Exhibit G-1 with a written amendment to this Agreement.
(b) Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and
similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar
taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory
authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Provider's
income.
(c) Auditing Rights and Required Records. Customer agrees to maintain complete and accurate records
following an Activation Event in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the
Term and for a period of two years after the temmination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to
matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder.
6. Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available
to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade
secrets, third -party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or
in written, electronic, or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated, or otherwise identified
as "confidential" (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Confidential Information does not include
information that, at the time of disclosure is: (a) in the public domain; (b) known to the receiving Party at the
time of disclosure; (c) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non -confidential basis from a third party;
or (d) independently developed by the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing
Party's Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party's employees who have
a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its
obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to
the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as
otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to
the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a
LA 135\3\1099049.v l 20
protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party's rights under this Agreement, including to make required court
filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the
disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party's
Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such
Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party's obligations of non -disclosure with regard to
Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first
disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that
constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non -disclosure will survive
the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject
to trade secret protection under applicable law.
7. Intellectual Property Ownership; Feedback.
(a) Provider IP. Customer acknowledges that, as between Customer and Provider, Provider owns all right,
title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Provider IP.
(b) Customer Data. Provider acknowledges that, as between Provider and Customer, Customer owns all
right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Customer Data. Customer
hereby grants to Provider a non-exclusive, royalty -free, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, and
otherwise use the Customer Data and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Data as may be
necessary for Provider to provide the Services to Customer, including the right to process, store, and
transmit the data, as well as create backups. Additionally, Customer grants Provider a non-exclusive,
perpetual, irrevocable, royalty -free, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, modify, and otherwise use
and display Customer Data incorporated within the Aggregated Statistics. For the avoidance of doubt,
Provider shall not publicly display Customer Data and will at all times comply with applicable law
including Minn. Stat. Ch. 13, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, regarding the disclosure of
any not public Customer Data.
(c) Feedback. If Customer or any of its employees or contractors sends or transmits any communications or
materials to Provider by mail, email, telephone, or otherwise, suggesting or recommending changes to the
Provider IP, including without limitation, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments,
questions, suggestions, or the like ("Feedback"), Provider is free to use such Feedback irrespective of any
other obligation or limitation between the Parties goveming such Feedback. Customer hereby assigns to
Provider on Customer's behalf, and on behalf of its employees, contractors and/or agents, all right, title,
and interest in, and Provider is free to use, without any attribution or compensation to any party, any ideas,
know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property rights contained in the Feedback, for any
purpose whatsoever, although Provider is not required to use any Feedback.
8. Limited Warranty and Warranty Disclaimer.
(a) Provider warrants that the Services jwill conform in all material respects to the -commercially reasonable
and industry standard service levels for like products f rth it Exhibit G 2 hen accessed and used in
LA135\3\1099049.v1 21

levels.

(b) Except for the limited warranty set forth in Section 8(a), the Provider IP is provided "as is," and Provider
hereby disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Provider specifically
disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non -
infringement, and all warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. Except for the
limited warranty set forth in Section 8(a), Provider makes no warranty of any kind that the Provider IP, or
any products or results of the use thereof, will meet Customer's or any other person's requirements,
operate without interruption, achieve any intended result, be compatible or work with any software,
system, or other services, or be secure, accurate, complete, free of harmful code, or error -free.
9. Indemnification.
(a) Provider Indemnification.
(i)
Provider shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Losses") incurred by Customer
resulting from any third -party claim, suit, action, or proceeding ("Third -Party Claim") that the
Services, or any use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates
such third party's US patents, copyrights, or trade secrets, provided that Customer promptly notifies
Provider in writing of the claim, cooperates with Provider, and allows Provider sole authority to
control the defense and settlement of such claim.
(ii) If such a claim is made or appears possible, Customer agrees to permit Provider, at Provider's sole
discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Services, or component or part thereof, to make it non -
infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Customer to continue use. If Provider determines that neither
alternative is reasonably available, Provider may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with
respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Customer.
Customer shall have the remedy of termination in Section 11(b)(ii) below if the modified or
replacement Services are materially deficient to the existing Services.
(iii)This Section 9(a) will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (A) use of the
Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided by
Provider or authorized by Provider in writing; (B) modifications to the Services not made by Provider;
or (C) Customer Data.

11. Term and Termination.
(a) Term. The term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until terminated in
accordance with this Agreement (the "Term").
(b)
Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement:[
(i) Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing sixty (60) days written notice to the other
party.
(4)(ii) Provider may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Customer, if Customer,
following an Activation Event, (A) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure
continues more than 60 days after Provider's delivery of written notice thereof; or (B) breaches any of
its obligations under Section 2(c) or Section 6.
(-ii)(iii) either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the
other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach: (A) is incapable of cure; or (B) being
LA135\3\1099049.v1 23
Commented [AF19]: Is Provider providing a pre -
authorized list of software, hardware, equipment, or
technology?
This indemnification clause is very broad and would
conceivably encompass any third party claim based on
the City's use of the Services in combination with Dell
computers or Microsoft Office.
I would prefer the City not indemnify Provider. If
necessary, we can have the parties all be responsible
for their own actions.
I Commented [AF20]: An Intellectual property violation
l claim is likely to exceed $5,000.
Commented [AF21]: I would recommend striking this
entire paragraph given its broad limiting of liability
under the agreement. When taken in conjunction with
several other limitations herein, the City would likely
have no recourse for many the most likely breaches or
other claims that may arise or where the was an
allowed claim, the aggregate liability allowed under the
agreement would likely make pursuing a claim not
reasonable.
Commented [AF22]: Provider has made no
statements as to the level of service or security it will
provide for its software of the Services. At minimum,
there are potential claims for data breach under
MGDPA which we should not allow Provider to disclaim
liability for, particularly as the disclaimer would include
known vulnerabilities
Commented [AF23]: If Provider Is aware of a known
vulnerability, particularly related to data security,
Provider should not be disclaiming all liability under this
agreement

The only allowances for termination are for failure to
pay, breach, or insolvency.

with written notice of such breach; or
(iii)(iv)either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other
Party, if the other Party: (A) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts
as they become due; (B) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or
foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (C) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit
of its creditors; or (D) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent
appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion
of its property or business.
(c) Effect of Expiration or Termination.
(i) -Upon earlier termination of this Agreement, Customer shall immediately discontinue use of the• -
Provider IP and, without limiting Customer's obligations under Section 6, Customer shall delete,
destroy, or retum all copies of the Provider IP and certify in writing to the Provider that the Provider
IP has been deleted or destroyed. No expiration or termination will affect Customer's obligation to pay
all Fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination or entitle Customer to any
refund. For clarity, no Fees shall be deemed to have accrued or become payable under. Thisthis
Agreement unless an Activation Event has occurred and fees have been mutually agreed upon in
writing pursuant to this Agreement.
(-OM As reasonably practicable, Provider shall return all Customer Data pertaining to the Customer
within sixty (60) days of Agreement termination. Provider shall further cease all continuing use of the
Customer Data in Aggregated Statistics following effective termination. Any and all Customer Data
which Provider retains or is unable to retain shall be managed in accordance with Minn. Stat. Ch. 13,
the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
(d) Survival. This Section 11(d) and Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 8(b), 9, 10, and 12 survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement. No other provisions of this Agreement survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference
and all related Exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and

any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed
by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay
in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be
construed as a waiver thereof, and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege
hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power, or privilege.
(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement
or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such
determination that any tens or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall

permitted successors and assigns.
(h) Export Regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and
complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other
governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Services or any Customer
Data outside the US[. Customer represents and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a

(i) Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party
of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2(c), would cause the other
Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in
the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including
a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from
any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that

Meeting Date June 9, 2026
Agenda Item City Park Cameras
Action Requested
Consent ❑ Public Hearing ❑ Discussion ❑X
Action ❑x Resolution ❑ Work Session ❑
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
A couple of years ago, the City installed cameras at City Hall and the Public Works Building
(PWB). These cameras were installed through our contract with Metro-Inet using our existing
internet service. The purpose was to primarily address on -going issues of theft and illegal
dumping at the PWB.
Staff has been discussing whether there is a need for cameras at Community Park and Skyview
Park. Community Park has long been a place of illegal dumping and more recently the damage to
the Warming House from the fire in the portapotty. Skyview Park has faired relatively well with
just the occasional portapotty tipping.
Staff didn't bring the issue to the Council sooner because we didn't have a solution that would be
reasonably cost effective. To add Community Park to our existing video system would cost
around $2,000 up front per camera, $1,300 annually, and $250 per month. This seems too steep to
take on when budgets are tight.
Staff have been exploring the option of using cellular, solar -powered cameras through vendors
like T-Mobile and Verizon. T-Mobile has an option that would be $230.00 up front per camera
and about $20 a month per camera for the cellular connection (see following quote). The cloud
storage service for up to five cameras is $6.99 per month. That puts the cost at — $100 per month
all in for four cameras.
The question before the Council is whether this is something you want staff to arrange for. Staff
believe a need exists. The question is whether it is worth the cost and whether there are any
concerns over privacy. The Parks are public spaces and video surveillance is everyone, so that
may not be an issue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Motion directing city staff to install a security camera system in city parks.
