Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9947, Revised Police Department Tuition
Reimbursement Policy
Background
Revising wording in the Police Tuition Reimbursement Policy.
Discussion
The City Council approved the Police Tuition Reimbursement Policy April 24, 2023. During the June 24,
2024 City Council meeting, a part-time Police Community Service Officer (CSO) position was approved to
work 20 — 29 hours per week. CSO staff will receive vacation, sick and holiday pay. The HR Committee
supports the CSO position receiving tuition reimbursement. A slight adjustment is needed to the Police
Tuition Reimbursement Policy, eliminating the word "Regular" before part-time. Consistently throughout the
policy manual, regular part-time is used to indicate part-time staff working 30+ hours per week. Regular
part-time staff indicates staff are eligible for insurance benefits.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
Create a culture where employees desire to work.
Financial Impact:
Police Department tuition reimbursement policy is dependent upon usage of program (annual maximum
of $5000).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 9947, Revising Police Department Tuition
Reimbursement Policy.

licensed Police personnel, to prepare for success within the Department through
educational development and personal growth. The City may share the cost of education
which directly relates to the performance of the employee in the employee's present
assignment which prepares the employee for advancement with the City in the
foreseeable future, up to an annual maximum cost of $5,000. The City may reimburse
eligible regular full-time and regular part-time employees for tuition reimbursement,

B. Courses must be in pursuit of a Degree program (Associate, Bachelor, Master,
Doctorate, etc.), and must be taken from accredited institutions of higher
learning or vocational -technical schools.
C. Courses must relate to the Police Department field of study. Courses not
related, which may be required for the degree, will necessitate the employee
documenting why the course is needed, and receiving approval from the Police
Chief or Deputy Chief. The City Administrator has the final authority in
approving or denying the request. An explanation of approval for less than
requested amounts or denials will be provided.
D. Employees will receive 50% payment for the course prior to taking the class.

signatures on the form, must be submitted prior to receiving approval and/or
payment.
E. Coursework/studying must be done outside regular work hours.

Police Chief or Deputy Chief. A request will be submitted for reimbursement of
the remaining 50% payment (up to, but not to exceed the annual allotment of
$5,000 per employee) to the Human Resource Department, and
reimbursement will be requested from Finance.
G. If an employee receives less than a B, or if they drop the course, they will be
required to reimburse the City for the initial 50% payment within 15 calendar
days from end of school quarter/semester.
H. If an employee terminates (voluntary/involuntary) before the one-year
timeframe has lapsed since the conclusion of their last course, they will be
required to pay back any educational costs taken within the last 12-months of
employment.
a. Emergency situations should be discussed with the Police Chief, Deputy
Chief, Human Resources or City Administrator.

receive tuition reimbursement from the City for the same courses.

Discharging Discriminatory Covenants on City -Owned Property and
Participating in Just Deeds Project
First Reading Ordinance 1014 - requiring Discharge of
Discriminatory Covenants on Private Property at Point of Sale.
Introduction:
The topic of discharging racial covenants dates back decades. A 1948 Supreme Court ruling
rendered them legally unenforceable and in 1953 the Minnesota Legislature passed legislation
signed by the Governor voiding their effect. The attachments, resolutions and ordinance
provide substantive detail for these items.
This staff report addresses Items:
8A — Resolution 9950 supporting Mapping Prejudice
813 — Resolution 9951 of Support/Joining Just Deeds Project
8C — Ordinance 1014 Discharging discriminatory covenants on private property at point of sale
required
Discussion:
Mapping Prejudice Project:
In the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in Minnesota/Metro Area in discharging
them from property records. The University of Minnesota Mapping Prejudice Project, created in
2016 as an experiment has reset the effort of ease in discharging of covenants. Their interactive
website map allows anyone/property owners with access to a computer to obtain the basic but
critical information to complete DISCHARGE OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS AFFECTING
PROTECTED CLASSES Minn.Stat.507.18 Form 40.10.01 (2019).
Upon completion of the form, and submission to Ramsey County Recorders office, which is
waiving the $46 filing fee, the discharge process is completed.

Just Deeds
The City of Golden Valley started the Just Deeds Project in 2019 through its Human Rights
Commission. The City of Golden Valley commits to the mission of Just Deeds by educating
homeowners about the lasting impacts of racially restrictive covenants and connecting residents
to free services to discharge discriminatory covenants. The spirit of the Just Deeds mission
permeates the City's work through ongoing examination of City policies, practices and
regulations to eliminate inequality.

Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
A progressive city that is welcoming and desirable destination to all ages and cultures, who
seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work and play safely
and show pride in the community.
Financial Impact:

COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE USE OF DISCRIMINATORY COVENANTS,
DISCHARGING DISCRIMINATORY COVENANTS ON CITY -OWNED
PROPERTY AND SUPPORTING THE MAPPING PREJUDICE PROJECT
WHEREAS, discriminatory covenants were tools used by real estate developers to prevent
Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and non-Christian individuals from buying or
occupying property in certain areas, and they were common throughout the United States from
the early 1900s to the 1960s; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of discriminatory covenants was to racially and religiously
homogenize communities by excluding BIPOC and non-Christian individuals from Mounds
View. These tools segregated the metro area and built a hidden system of apartheid; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, the University of Minnesota founded Mapping Prejudice to expose the
racist practices that shaped the landscape of the metro area. Mapping Prejudice researched
restrictive covenants, first in Minneapolis and later in Ramsey County and created the first -ever
comprehensive map of racial covenants in an American city. The project mapped 5,400
covenants in Ramsey County, including 571 covenants in Mounds View; and
WHEREAS, restrictive covenants are no longer enforceable. Legal efforts to eliminate
Discriminatory Covenants include Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948), in which the United
States Supreme Court prohibited courts from enforcing Discriminatory Covenants and the
Minnesota legislature in 1953 enacted statutes that prohibited new covenants, but existing
covenants were still legal in Minnesota until 1962; and
WHEREAS, as a result of these judicial and legislative actions, today, Minnesota law and
federal law prohibit discrimination in the sale or lease of housing based on race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability,
sexual orientation, or familial status and those state and federal prohibitions extend to the
refusal to sell or to circulate, post or cause to be printed, circulated, or posted, any limitation,
specification, or discrimination as to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital
status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status;
and
WHEREAS, in 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law authorizing property owners to
individually discharge or renounce discriminatory covenants by recording a discharge form in
the county property records; and

WHEREAS, the Mapping Prejudice online map and accompanying "pop-up" data details the
date the covenant was placed on the deed, document number, and legal description of the
property which enables the property owner to complete the Discharge of Racial Covenants
Form 40.10.01 and upon having the form notarized, property owners are able to submit to the
Ramsey County Recorder's office; who are waiving the $46 filing fee; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View owns six pieces of land that contain a discriminatory
covenant and has filed the property paperwork to discharge these covenants; and
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota, including the City of Mounds View, recognizes the harm
that Discriminatory Covenants —and the racial, religious, and other discriminatory practices
that they represent —cause to society in general and to the individuals who are adversely
affected by racial, religious, and other discrimination through the presence of discriminatory
covenants in the public land records.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mounds View City Council that the City of
Mounds View disavows and condemns the past use of discriminatory covenants and prohibits
discriminatory covenants from being used in the future
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City staff is directed to participate in the work of the
Mapping Prejudice Project and the Just Deeds Coalition to educate the community about this
and other historically discriminatory practices; to identify contemporary discriminatory systems,
policies, and practices; and to take action to dismantling racist systems, practices, and policies
in the City of Mounds View to create equity for all.
BE IF FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Mounds View applauds the substantive body of
work done by the Mapping Prejudice Project, the criticality of this work, and as a gesture of
support to continue this effort, authorize staff to utilize/expend $1,000 from the Charitable
Gambling Fund to the Mapping Prejudice Project.

THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW ORDAINS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Mounds View hereby amends Title X, Chapter XX,
sections XXXX by adding a new section as follows:

Discriminatory covenants are restrictions filed in property records that prohibited that property
from being sold to persons based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status,
status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status background.
These discriminatory covenants are now illegal and are unenforceable, but they remain in property
records.
In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed Minnesota Statutes, section 507.18 allowing property
owners to individually discharge or renounce discriminatory covenant by recording a discharge
form in the county property records. This ordinance requires property owners to individually
discharge or renounce discriminatory covenants from their property at the time of sale of the
property.
§ XX.XXX Definitions
"Discriminatory Covenant" means any restrictive covenant filed against any property that restricts
to whom property may be conveyed based on racial, ethnic, or religious criteria.
§ XX.XXX Discharge of Discriminatory Covenants at Point of Sale

property ownership of real property with one or more buildings or structures, without receiving a
certificate of compliance from the city.
(B) Application and fees.
(1) Unless the property owner already has a certificate of compliance for a property, the owner
or owner's representative is required to obtain a certificate of compliance before the property is

appropriate application fee. The fees shall be set in the city's fee schedule.1
(C) Issuance of Certificate of Compliance
(1) A certificate of compliance shall be issued by the city i£
W210\5\960017.v1
Commented 1J571: See comments below. Does the City
want to require an application fee upfront for all, offer an
inventive to those who discharge covenants early, and/or
attempt to impose a fee/penalty.
(a) Property records provide there is no discriminatory covenant registered against the
property.
(b) The applicant submits documentation showing the discriminatory covenant has been
discharged.
kc) The applicant submits paperwork showing that the seller and buyer both have agreed to
discharge the discriminatory covenant and (have placed $XXX into escrow/pay a $XXX
fee) for the city to use to cover the cost of having the discriminatory covenant discharged]
0) If a certificate of compliance is issued by the city prior to the transfer of the property, the City
shall waive the inspection fee for its inflow and infiltration compliance program under City Code,
section 52.013.1 If a property owner obtains a certificate of compliance without any intention to sell

owner has obtained a waiver of the inflow and infiltration compliance program inspection fee.
(D) City Records. The city shall maintain a list of all properties that it has been informed have a
discriminatory covenant and a list of all properties for which a certificate of compliance has been

Commented [J52]: The City could partner with Just Deeds
as one of its "designated entities". J
Commented [J53]: This is important as it allows the
property to change hands without having to wait for the
covenant to be discharged.
Commented [J54]: I am somewhat concerns with a
"penalty" for noncompliance and instead think that the
ordinance should instead offer an incentive to have the
covenant discharged prior to the sale of the property.
Commented [J55]: A penalty may not be enforceable
since it may be difficult to articulate a nexus between the
sale of the property and the removal of an unenforceable
covenant.
The structure of C(1)(c), requiring an escrow/fee if not
completed by the time the property is transferred coupled
with an incentive to discharge the covenant early may be
more easily enforceable and have a similar outcome.
Mapping Prejudice History — from Website
Our history
Mapping Prejudice began in 2016 as an experiment. The team wondered whether a new awareness of
racial covenants could help people see what Ibram X. Kendi calls the "racism behind those racial
disparities." We drew on the tools of the digital humanities and tenets of public history to develop a
methodology that mobilized community members to read historical property deeds and transcribe the
information necessary to locate racial restrictions on a digital map.
The resulting maps have helped to change popular understandings of structural racism in Minnesota.
The dataset has opened new avenues for researchers seeking to document the harm wrought by racist
policies.
This work was born of community need in Minnesota, which has some of the largest racial disparities in
the nation. These inequities are most pronounced in the area of housing, which is foundational to health
and well-being. The Twin Cities has the highest gap between black and white homeownership rates for
any major metropolitan area in the country. While 78 percent of White families own homes in the Twin
Cities, only 25 percent of Black families are homeowners.
After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, Mapping Prejudice found itself at the epicenter of a global
movement for racial justice as people from around the world tried to understand why this started in
Minneapolis.
The work ahead
Our map of racial restrictions in Hennepin County was the first -ever comprehensive visualization of
racial covenants for an American city. In 2020, we expanded our focus to include neighboring Ramsey
County, where we are working with our sister project Welcoming the Dear Neighbor? to engage
community members around this history and data.
At the same time we are processing property records from geographies around the country. We are
actively identifying and mapping racial covenants in Dakota and Anoka counties in Minnesota, and
in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. We are working toward building a comprehensive database of racial
covenants in the Twin Cities metro area, and are building collaborations in other counties across
Minnesota.
We are developing our technical platform so that we can give it to any community that would like to
explore this same history.
At the same time, we are rooting ourselves more deeply in our local context, cultivating our
relationships with community partners in Minnesota that can translate the enhanced awareness of
history into meaningful change.
The resources of Mapping Prejudice are community -generated and meant to be shared. Our data and
maps are available for anyone to download and use.

Why This Started in Minneapolis
Conditions that led to George Floyd's death are not unique to Minneapolis and St. Paul. But there's a
reason why the Twin Cities triggered a national uprising.

A
Police officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd near the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th
Street in Minneapolis, but the protests that have erupted in response to his death have rippled
worldwide. From Riverton, Wyoming, to Flatbush, Brooklyn — and now in Paris, London, and other
European capitals — communities have risen up in a shared rage that speaks to the universality of police
violence and the inequities that feed it.
Minneapolis, however, stands out as the site where it all began. The city's history of disparate policing,
and the ways racism and division molded its physical landscape, might help us understand why.
Minneapolis is at once considered one of the most livable cities in the country, and the one with some of
the greatest racial disparities in housing and income and education. There's a dissonance, locals say,
between its progressive rhetoric and the reality of how people of different races experience completely
different cities. This local paradox is a microcosm of the statewide "Minnesota Paradox," a term coined
by University of Minnesota economist Samuel L. Myers Jr., to highlight the often -ignored inequality that
defines the region.
CityLab spoke with five experts on race, culture, and state and local history to understand how they've
experienced these divides, and how to bridge them. Our conversations have been edited and
condensed.
William D. Green, history professor at Augsburg University: Back in 1860, even though Minnesota was
free soil and had in its constitution a ban against slavery, slaveholders would come to Minnesota to
vacation.
Abolitionists brought one slave woman to court and freed her, and what resulted was a riot in the city.
For the next four or five months, neighbors in Minneapolis walked the streets with loaded weapons,
waiting for their neighbors to provoke them.
And what averted that pending crisis was when the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter and started the
Civil War. Minnesotans shifted their focus away from their neighbors — what got them to change their
focus was joining up. Minnesota was the first state to send volunteers into the Union Army.
So you have this strange situation, where people were willing to defend a slaveholder's right to hold a
slave in Minnesota, despite what the state law said, and they were also willing to join up and fight to
preserve the Union.
Daniel Bergin, documentary filmmaker for Twin Cities PBS: This paradox goes to the very founding of
the state: the colonization and the displacement of Dakota and Ojibwe, which is its own complex and
deep and insidious story. But in terms of the African -American experience, even after the territorial
period, there was this tension around abolitionist culture from the New Englanders who had largely
made up Minneapolis at the time, and the businessmen who were seated in St. Paul.
Literally, when they were founding the state, there were two constitutions: One that made a statement
against slavery. And then another that didn't.
Green: After the war, Minnesotans tried three times to pass a law that would extend the voting rights to
black men. And on the third attempt, they succeeded — before the 15th Amendment was ratified. Just
months after that, the legislature passed a law saying that any school system in Minnesota that
segregated on the basis of race would lose all state funding. And then they also began to see black
people serve on juries, which was something that had never happened in Minnesota. This is all before
1870.
"Policymakers and the body politic lived in parallel worlds with regard to race relations."
And then right after that, nothing happened. It was like the progressives and the friends of black people
took their feet off the pedal and began to coast in complacence on their good deeds. Even though
Minnesota would later pass two or three public accommodations laws banning banning segregation and
discrimination in public settings, you still had discrimination being carried out by white shopkeepers and
restaurateurs and whatnot, denying or harassing black patronage
What that represents is that policymakers did high-minded things, but they did not push down that
sense of enlightenment into the body politic. Policymakers and the body politic lived in parallel worlds
with regard to race relations.
By the end of the century, the reputation of Minnesota across the nation was that Minnesota at least
was racially tolerant, but what was not being addressed was the fact that the black population in
Minnesota is exceedingly small. And what that meant was there were not a lot of black people around
to test the social customs that permitted segregation to continue, and discrimination to exist.
Taiyon J. Coleman, assistant professor of English literature at St. Catherine University in St. Paul: After I
moved to the state, I wrote an essay, "Disparate Impacts: Moving to Minnesota to Live Just Enough for
the City," which appeared in the anthology "A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota." At the end
of the essay, I say, "There are Confederate flags everywhere, even if you can't see them." That's what I
would say about Minnesota. There are good people here. It's a good place to live: There are parks, and
recreation, and this notion of public interest for the public good. But there's this undercurrent of
Minnesota niceness that is very homogenized. You see that in housing, in education, in employment, in
net wealth, in incarceration — we have the largest racial disparities in the nation. And with those
disparities, there's a culture that people don't want to look at it.
You can't imagine how frustrating it is. I have all the degrees, all the things that U.S.A. society has said I
need to have in order to access citizenship — what I loosely call whiteness, because whiteness is a
constructed identity — but that is still never enough. That still never protects you. And that's what the
paradox is. You've achieved all this, and you have these things, but it doesn't make you safe. Even with
my privilege, I still don't have access to that.
Green: People are surprised by the depth of anger and grievance when a police officer abuses an African
American or kills an African American and there's a human cry in the community. Many people in
Minnesota and even in Minneapolis are surprised at the intensity of the anger. What that tells me is that
to a large extent, even though this is, for the most part, a progressive/liberal city, it's also a city in which
the races live in parallel universes. It is possible for white people to have no contacts at all with blacks
unless they have kids in the schools, or at my university, or they're in the military, or prison.
Kirsten Delegard, co-founder of Mapping Prejudice, which tracks racial housing covenants in
Minneapolis: In the early part of the 20th century, Minneapolis was not trying to market itself as a
model progressive metropolis. It was quite the opposite: In 1946, the city was named the "anti-Semitism
capital of the United States." It actually had a profound reputation for intolerance, and there was a very
powerful group here that brutally repressed all labor organizing.
It was in response to that very bad publicity in the'30s and '40s that you have this young mayor by the
name of Hubert Humphrey who's elected and makes his political career on trying to change the racial
climate of Minneapolis.
He launches what was hailed at the time as this really innovative sociological experiment with these
black sociologists and tries to get every Minneapolitan to do a self -audit of their own feelings about
race, and all their organizations' practices about race. This experiment really puts Minneapolis on the
map as this progressive metropolis — but it was all about feelings, it was all about attitude. It did
nothing to address the material conditions of life for black people. When I read those reports from the
1940s I was really struck by the fact that while they had people do all these rankings of their attitudes,
there was basically a passing reference to the fact that 40% of the city at least had been restricted by
these racial covenants.
Racial covenants are a legal clause that specifies that land can never be occupied or sold to anyone
who's not white. The first one that Mapping Prejudice has found was introduced in Minneapolis in 1910.
Before that moment, Minneapolis was not a particularly segregated place. But after, racial covenants
were in use for 40 years. A lot of these contemporary disparities that are so pronounced and brutal have
roots in the history of deliberate efforts to make sure that all land in the city remained in the control of
white people.
Bergin: You start to see this map taking place, where black folks and other people of color couldn't buy,
couldn't build, weren't allowed to even occupy. Then, as history shows us, the redlining that the Federal
Housing Authority implemented during the Depression literally follows these profiles and these
boundaries and barriers in terms of what neighborhoods were worthy of investing in and underwriting
loans in. What we learned recently is that it wasn't just informal patterns of occupancy — it's all based
on the systemic racism of the 19th century. And then it shows up later in the 20th century, in terms of
the growing disparities.
"This is how segregation works in Minneapolis: It re -inscribes the racial stereotypes, because it keeps
peaceful people isolated."
Delegard: You could tell the story that I told you about almost any American city: Racial covenants are
not unique to Minneapolis, redlining's not unique, white violence is not unique, real estate steering is
not unique to Minneapolis. But the way they were used has created a different environment here.
When they first started to be used, there were just very few African Americans in this city. Because the
restrictions were adopted in such a universal, overwhelming way, where so much of the land as it
developed in the city throughout the 20th century was just off-limits to anyone who was not white —
the fact that that happened at a really critical moment in the city's history in the way that it did really
created a different geography of intolerance in this city, a segregation of opportunity.
Because of that, it became very, very hard for African Americans to find a place to live and buy a home
— and very hard to buy a home where they could actually amass wealth over time, rather than
homeownership being a financial burden.
Shannon Smith Jones, executive director of the nonprofit affordable housing organization Hope
Community: We can tout this as a really great space to live. Minnesota is absolutely beautiful: We do
have beautiful parks, we have walkable places, bikable places, all of these lakes. But who and how we
get to access those things has always been a part of it. Green spaces look different in North Minneapolis
than they do in other parts of the city. Even up until recently, when they started investing in inner-city
parks, there are huge disparities in what parks look like in North Minneapolis vs. Southwest
Minneapolis. There's been a value laid in the infrastructures that have allowed for those that succeed
and those who that don't to be held along the racial lines.
Coleman: I want to say this: Blackness is complicated. It's not just color. It's also what class you are,
where you live, what you look like, where you work. I have a colleague who lives in St. Paul, who told me
[last week] that the police were outside her house in riot gear with bullhorns telling them to stay inside
and not come out of the house. Where I live, in the Nokomis neighborhood, that wasn't happening at
all. Would that ever have happened to Mr. Floyd if he was in my neighborhood?
I would argue that this is how segregation works in Minneapolis or Minnesota: It re -inscribes the racial
stereotypes, because it keeps peaceful people isolated, so that not only are they the other, but then I'm
convinced they're the other, because I never see them where I live. When that police officer was doing
that to Floyd, yes, he should be held accountable, but he could not get away with his actions if other
people were not complicit in allowing him to do that.
When people are othered, you can watch a man kill in front of your face and literally not see it. You can
be in a room with different people, and based upon your skin color, your geography, where you grew
up, where you live, you're going to see something completely different. This is a symptom of a bigger
systemic disease. We need to get justice for Mr. Floyd — but we got a big problem, because [Chauvin]
couldn't get away with what he did if we didn't have a culture that perpetuated that type of action and
made it possible.
Green: George Floyd's death is not a turning point in policing. Right after the passage of the black
suffrage law in Minnesota [in 1868], there was an article that appeared in the newspaper of note saying
that in police court, we have a lot of "unsavories," and they used the n-word. It was an example of —
and a reflection — of the disproportionate arrests of African Americans. We're talking about a small
population, and yet per capita, more blacks were arrested for crimes for which white people who
committed the same crimes were not arrested for.
Then you also have a series of incidents where cops were especially brutal to African Americans who
were detained or who they were seeking to arrest. Again, we're talking 19th century, but to read the
events of those arrests, you might as well be looking at what just happened on 38th and Chicago.
And of course, the message conveyed there is that these cops are doing their job because the African
American is a threat to social order. And that the cops are given the license to manhandle, and to be
abusive of the "black miscreants." That sensibility has been in Minnesota, just beneath the surface, since
the Civil War.
Bergin: There is a lot we can learn from movements of the past, and I think it's kind of urgent, in fact,
because what we need to get to is the community -building that follows. We had unrest in Minneapolis
in the late 1960s, as many Northern cities did. And now we can see what resulted: Some spaces and
places and people never healed. And then — there's the paradox again — there were also really really
powerful outcomes that were black -led in solidarity with others.
After the Northside riots in'67, white businessmen and others, together with black leadership said,
"what can we do?" And they formed this organization called the Metropolitan Economic Development
Association — an incubator that helps to educate and hopefully launch minority- and women -owned
businesses. That organization is still here today, still helping diverse businesses get off the ground and
supporting them. It is an outgrowth of the disruptions of the late 60s
[Another outgrowth] is the election to mayor of a former cop and head of the Minneapolis Police
Federation, Charles Stenvig. He was a late-'60s law -and -order proponent and got elected because of
some of the civil unrest — he ran on the catchphrase, "taking the handcuffs off the Minneapolis police."
You had political leadership emerging out of police culture.
Coleman: When the governor was saying, "We have to get back to normal," I know he was well meaning
and well intentioned, but that scared me. I said, "No, this is normal for black people." You're always
afraid.
As Mr. Floyd's choking out on the street, think about Covid. People of color are [three] times more likely
to die from Covid. They're being choked out the same way — they, too, cannot breathe. And are we
seeing it? Is it important, or is it business as usual? States are reopening. People are going around as if
it's no big deal. Because we've been socialized to say those deaths, those bodies, those people don't
matter.
I don't condone what the protesters did. But if that is the metaphor for equality and enfranchisement,
people of color are always on fire.

Words matter.
How discriminatory covenants were used to segregate Minnesota communities.
No persons of any race other than the Caucasian
race shall use or occupy any building or any lot,
except that this covenant shall not prevent oc-
cupancy by domestic servants of a different race
domiciled with an owner or tenant.
In post -Civil War Minnesota and across the country, developers, real estate agents, and local, state and
federal governments prohibited Black Americans from realizing their full rights and opportunities as
citizens. Governments and developers deliberately used discriminatory covenants to create segregated
communities and build wealth for the white community at the expense of the Black community and
other people of color.
These "white -only" covenants restricted families along racial and ethnic lines from owning homes in the
majority of neighborhoods in our cities.
In Minneapolis, the first racially restrictive deed appeared in 1910, when Henry and Leonora Scott sold a
property on 35th Avenue South to Nels Anderson. The deed contained what would become a common
restriction:
..the premises shall not at any time be conveyed, mortgaged or leased to any person or persons
of Chinese, Japanese, Moorish, Turkish, Negro, Mongolian or African blood or descent.
Separate and unequal.
When the racially restrictive deed above was written, Minneapolis was not particularly segregated. But
covenants changed the landscape of the city. As racially restrictive deeds spread, Black Americans were
pushed into a few small areas of the city. And as the number of Black residents continued to climb, even
larger swaths of the city became entirely white.

The Mapping Prejudice Project, 2020 — Data from IPUMS
This laid the groundwork for our contemporary patterns of residential segregation. Many Twin Cities
suburban developments (sometimes officially sanctioned by local governments) adopted the practice of
segregating communities through the use of racially restrictive covenants in the first half of the 20th
century.
For example, the Betcher's Addition Plat, approved by the City of Richfield in 1937, had the following
language: "No race or nationality other than white persons shall use or occupy any dwelling on any lot
except that this covenant shall not prevent the occupancy by domestic servants of a different race when
employed by any owner or tenant."
Another common Minneapolis covenant reads: "the said premises shall not at any time be sold,
conveyed, leased, or sublet, or occupied by any person or persons who are not full bloods of the so-
called Caucasian or White race."
Built on a foundation of racism.
In the 1940s, the NAACP, recognizing covenants as a fundamental threat to racial equality, launched a
sustained legal campaign against them. In 1948, the Supreme Court ruled that covenants were
unenforceable in the landmark Shelley v. Kraemer case. By 1953, the Minnesota Legislature prohibited
the use of racial restrictions in warranty deeds. But covenants remained commonplace in much of the
nation until 1968, when the federal Fair Housing Act made them explicitly illegal.
Last place.
Minnesota is ranked 50th among all states for Black homeownership.
While 78% of white families own homes in the Twin Cities, only 25% of African American families own
homes.
Data from Dr. Kim Skobba, Understanding Homeownership Disparities, Report of Minn. Homeownership
Center (2013)
Despite these legal victories, restrictions were still being used across Minnesota to keep people of color
out of safe and affordable housing. Discriminatory covenants dovetailed with redlining and predatory
lending practices to continue the pattern of residential segregation and income inequality.
Hate appreciates.
Houses with discriminatory covenants on the title are worth, on average, 15% more than a similar house
without a covenant.
Data from Dr. Kim Skobba, Understanding Homeownership Disparities, Report of Minn. Homeownership
Center (2013)
Research shows what communities of color have known for decades: Intentional structural barriers
based on race worked in housing and elsewhere. They built the foundation for the disparities that exist
today in Black household income, local school funding, access to health care, police and safety policies,
green spaces and neighborhood parks, public transportation, convenient and affordable grocery stores
and other retail opportunities, and nearby jobs that pay living wages.
Minnesota's history of discriminatory covenants is well documented. The Just Deeds Coalition is
dedicated to improving housing opportunities for all, today and tomorrow
Questions by Administrator Zikmund and responses by
Mapping Prejudice Project Director Kirsten Delegard regarding Racial Covenants
1. Have all properties in Mounds View had their property title/deeds checked? Multi -family,
commercial, industrial? Our goal is complete eradication of racial covenants.
No, we have not searched all properties in Mounds View. We have checked all property records
provided from Ramsey County from 1900 through 1960. This was the period when racial covenants were
most likely to be put in place.
Racial covenants ran with the land, which means that they remained in place even as the use of
different parcels shifted. But I would say that we rarely see covenants put into place on commercial
properties. These racist deeds were a tool that was used to segregate residential neighborhoods.
We are still working through some previously missing records from Ramsey County, so it's possible some
more covenants in Mounds View will be uncovered. While our technical process is very capable, it is also
possible for us to miss racial covenants due to poor image quality on the original records or OCR errors
that miss racial terms. And finally, properties that did not exist until after 1960 would not have been
included in the search. While racial covenants have been legally unenforceable and, in Minnesota, illegal
to put in place since 1953, we have seen a few new covenants seemingly being added as late as 1962.
Please note that it is not possible to completely eradicate racial covenants. While discharge is a symbolic
action that can signal a property owners desire to renounce this history, and while on Torrens properties
discharge will generally prevent future buyers from encountering racial language, the original record of
a racial covenant will and should remain in historic property records. Discharge will also not eradicate
the impacts of racial covenants, which are still very much with us today. When our collaborators in Just
Deeds talk to folks about discharge, they emphasize that it's important to think about this act as the first
step to acknowledge and address this history. Our hope is that this will open up more conversations
about structural barriers for people who are not White and all the things that we need to do in the
present day to dismantle those barriers.
2. Can you explain the concentration of covenants on our NW quadrant of the City given the North
East quadrant represent our oldest homes (NW are second oldest). One would think there would be
covenants there?
The presence of racial covenants is closely tied to chronology. The earliest covenant that we've found in
Minnesota was put into place in 1910. But the first big wave of covenants in the Twin Cities crests in
1925. After that, the real estate market starts to crash and really plummets with the start of the Great
Depression. Home construction slows to a trickle in that decade. Then it booms after World War II,
which is when you see the growth of suburbs like Mounds View and returning soldiers taking advantage
of GI Bill loans and new construction. Non -white and particularly Black veterans often struggled to
access these loans, which were a key moment for white Americans to gain a foothold on the ladder of
home ownership. Covenants ebb and flow with these cycles of residential real estate development.
With respect to Mounds View, we have not done specific research. This would be a great potential
project for the city to dig into, Who are the sellers and developers who put in these covenants? Did the
city council or planning board require or discuss racial covenants in its meetings from this time? Cities
like Golden Valley have investigated this question and found that their city officials in the 1940s both
approved and encouraged the use of racial covenants.
3. 1 live in Blaine, Anoka County which your project shows very few — curiosity — is that a simple math
equation of more time is needed?
We are still working on Anoka County, so we may see more covenants emerge there. Again, the
likelihood of finding covenants is first and foremost related to the dates when major residential
development was occurring. You may have a better understanding of the chronology in Blaine than we
do, and we would love to hear any insight you might have. Also, it's important to note that an absence
of covenants does not mean that an area was free of racial discrimination. Neighborhoods like Mac-
Groveland in St. Paul and Linden Hills in Minneapolis don't have as many covenants as you might expect
for the time period of their development. But instead they have a history of racial violence directed
against Black people trying to move into the neighborhood, which made racial covenants less necessary.
Racial covenants are just one technology in a long line of techniques used to segregate Minnesota and
the rest of the country, and should always be considered as part of that ecosystem, which includes racial
violence, redlining, exclusionary zoning, mortgage discrimination, real estate steering, freeway
displacement, and urban renewal, to name a few.

ORDINANCE NO. 1014
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 38 TO TITLE III OF THE MOUNDS VIEW
CITY CODE REGARDING DISCRIMINATORY COVENANTS
THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW ORDAINS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Mounds View hereby amends Title III by adding a new
chapter as follows:
Chapter 38: Discriminatory Covenants
38.001
Findings
38.002
Definitions
38.003
Discharge of Discriminatory Covenants
38.004
Discriminatory Covenants Prohibited
38.999
Penalty
§ 38.001 Findings.
(A) Discriminatory covenants were tools used by real estate developers to prevent persons
of color and non-Christian individuals from buying or occupying property in certain areas, and
they were common throughout the United States from the early 1900s to the 1960s; and
(B) The purpose of discriminatory covenants was to racially and religiously homogenize
communities by excluding persons of color and non-Christian individuals from Mounds View.
These tools segregated the metro area and built a hidden system of apartheid; and
(C) In 2016, the University of Minnesota founded Mapping Prejudice to expose the racist
practices that shaped the landscape of the metro area. Mapping Prejudice researched restrictive
covenants in Ramsey County and created the first -ever comprehensive map of racial covenants
in an American city. As of February 2024, the project mapped 5458 covenants in Ramsey
County, including 517 covenants in Mounds View; and
(D) An example of a covenant in Mounds View declared that "No person or persons other
than of the Caucasian race shall be permitted to occupy said premises or any part thereof'; and
(E) The discriminatory covenants exist in Mounds View throughout the city; and
(F) Restrictive covenants are no longer enforceable. Legal efforts to eliminate
Discriminatory Covenants include Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948), in which the
United States Supreme Court prohibited courts from enforcing Discriminatory Covenants
and the Minnesota legislature in 1953 enacted statutes that prohibited new covenants, but
existing covenants were still legal in Minnesota until 1962; and
(G) As a result of these judicial and legislative actions, today, Minnesota law and federal
law prohibit discrimination in the sale or lease of housing based on race, color, creed, religion,
national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual
orientation, or familial status and those state and federal prohibitions extend to the refusal to sell or to
circulate, post or cause to be printed, circulated, or posted, any limitation, specification, or
MU210\5\960017.v4
discrimination as to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard
to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status; and
(H) In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law authorizing property owners to
individually discharge or renounce discriminatory covenants by recording a discharge form in the
county property records; and
(I) Discriminatory covenants promoted and established residential racial segregation,
which historically and currently has impacted property ownership, accumulation of wealth,
property transfers, mortgage eligibility, rental eligibility, property values, property tax base,
internet access, and more. Discriminatory covenants fortified systemic racism and compounded
economic divestment in specific communities within Ramsey County; and
(J) The State of Minnesota, including the City of Mounds View, recognizes the harm that
Discriminatory Covenants, and the racial, religious, and other discriminatory practices that
they represent, cause to society in general and to the individuals who are adversely affected by
racial, religious, and other discrimination through the presence of discriminatory covenants in
the public land records; and
(K) The City of Mounds View disavows and condemns the past use of discriminatory
covenants and prohibits discriminatory covenants from being used in the future.
§ 38.002 Definitions.
"Discriminatory Covenant" means any restrictive covenant filed against any property that restricts to
whom property may be conveyed based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital
status, status with regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status.
§ 38.003 Discharge of Discriminatory Covenants.
(A) Required. No person shall sell, give, or transact a change in title or property ownership of real
property with one or more buildings or structures, without receiving a certificate from the city.
(B) Application. Unless the property owner already has a certificate for a property, the owner or
owner's representative is required to obtain a certificate before the property is sold, gifted or
transferred, and before the owner or owner's representative enters into any contract for deed or other
transaction changing the party responsible for the property.
(C) Issuance of Certificate
(1) A certificate shall be issued by the city if:
(a) The applicant submits title evidence showing no discriminatory covenant for the property.
(b) The applicant submits documentation showing the discriminatory covenant has been
discharged.
(c) The applicant submits the form required to discharge discriminatory covenants to the city
for filing with Ramsey County. The City may provide notary and mailing services. The certificate shall
not be issued unless the form is accepted and filed with Ramsey County.
(d) The applicant files the required form to discharge the discriminatory covenant at the time
of closing.
(D) City Records. The city shall maintain a list of all properties that it has been informed have a
discriminatory covenant and a list of all properties for which a certificate has been issued.
MU210\5\960017.v4
§ 38.004 Discriminatory Covenants Prohibited.
Discriminatory covenants are prohibited in the City of Mounds View and may not be filed against any
property in the City.
38.999 Penalty.
Violation of this section shall not result in a petty misdemeanor or criminal prosecution. Violations
of this Chapter shall be charged as an administrative offense subject to City Code, section 130.002.
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force 30 days from and after its passage and
publication, in accordance with Section 3.09 of the City Charter.
Introduction and First Reading by the Mounds View City Council on: July 8, 2024.
Second Reading and Adoption by the Mounds View City Council on: July 23, 2024.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9953 — Organized Trash RFP/Authorization to
Negotiate Contract with Successful Respondent
Introduction:
The City Council has been exploring an Organized Trash Collection system for more than
a year, following state statutory guidelines in the process. Upon termination of
negotiations with the existing haulers, council directed staff to issue an RFP which was
done and the City received proposals from 7 respondents. Staff reviewed the proposals,
and council appointed Council Members Meehlhause and Clark to review respondents'
submissions.
Discussion:
As part of the RFP process, Council established "scoring" criteria to reflect City priorities
and aid the Council in their determination on whom to negotiate a contract with.
Additionally, the RFP required respondents to identify any changes they would seek to
the draft contact which was provided with the RFP materials.
The criteria established by council was weighted and consists of:
Price — 65%
Customer Service — 15%
Cart Roll Out — 10%
Experience — 5%
Community Presence — 5%
City Administrator Zikmund, in consultation with K & G Legal Counsel Rachel Tierney,
scored the RFP responses based upon these criteria. Council Members Meehlhause and
Clark, the council -appointed Review Committee, scored the RFP responses
independently of staff.
Note — Some contract changes proposed by some haulers do, or could, impact
pricing/cost. These terms, in addition to others, need to be addressed in formal Contract
negotiations, and then evaluated for their impact on price over the life of the contract.
Note — Other than the names of the respondents, most if not all of the data contained in
the proposals remain confidential and cannot be shared. At the point a contract is signed,
that data/information detailed in state statute that is public, becomes public at that time.
Council/Staff cannot share specific details of the proposals at this time.
MU210\313\962266.v1
RFP Review Results:
Staff and Review Committee recommend
Aspen rated the next highest.
LRS as the highest rated respondent with
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
A progressive city that is welcoming and desirable destination for all ages and cultures,
who seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work, and
play safely and show pride in the community.
Financial Impact:
Up to $5,000 legal fees to negotiate and execute contract.
Recommendation:
Authorize staff to negotiate with LRS, consulting with Council Review Committee
comprised of Council Members Clark and Meehlhause, and if unable to reach an
agreement that Council accepts, grant authority to Staff to open negotiations with Aspen.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9956 Approving a Janitorial Cleaning Contract for City
Hall/Police, Public Works Facility and the Mounds View Community
Center
Background/Discussion:
One of the duties of the Public Works Department is to oversee the cleaning contract for
City Hall/Police, Community Center and Public Works.
City Hall/Police was cleaned 5 days a week by the contractor. As the 3-year contract
expired, the City had continued a month -by -month basis with the contracted company.
(This month -by -month approach was agreed upon until a new contract is reached or a
new contractor found.)
The goal is to improve the cleaning at all facilities without a large cost increase. The
Community Center is cleaned by in-house Staff and a contracted Temp Agency on the
weekend. The Temp Agency primary function is to set up and tear down of the Event
Center depending on the size of the event cleaning can limited and only occurs after the
event center cleaning is completed.
City Hall/Police will be cleaned three days a week, Public Works and the Community
Center will be cleaned once a week. Included in the cleaning is the annual carpet cleaning
at City Hall/Police and Public Works and Terrazzo Floor polishing at City Hall. Cleaning
at the Community Center will be limited to the common area and rest rooms.
The current 2024 budget for City Hall/Police cleaning is $25,000 and $3,500 for floor care
including carpet cleaning and waxing of floors. The Community Center, Event Center,
includes $10,000 for additional staff.
Staff reached out to several cleaning contractors and received a proposal from Z&K Avdiu
Inc.: $2,000 for City Hall/Police, $300 for Public Works, and $400 for the Community
Center, for a total monthly cost of $2,700.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure.
The Mounds View Vision
A Thriving Desirable Community
Financial Impact: No Impact to the 2024 Budget as the 2024 General Fund Budget has
$25,000 for cleaning and $3,500 for floor care, and the Event Center has $10,000 for
extra Staff for events.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the City Council approve a contract between Z & K Avdiu Inc. of
Mounds View, Minnesota and the City of Mounds View for janitorial cleaning services.
The janitorial service will include cleaning 3 days a week at the City Hall/Police Facility
and 1 day a week at Public Works and the Mounds View Community Center. Cleaning
tasks and times will be performed as documented in the Scope of Work — Exhibit A in the
agreement. This Contract will be for three (3) year.

Meeting Date: July 8, 2024
Type of Business: CB
Administrator Review:
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9957, Approve a Service Contract with Kodiak Power
Solutions for the Standby Emergency Generators
Background:
The City owns 5 emergency standby power generators, located at City Hall, the Booster Station,
Public Works, and the Bronson and Groveland lift stations. These units provide emergency
power during local power outages and in case of natural disasters. City Hall is designated as the
Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The generator at the Booster Station provides power to
the main water treatment plant, well #3 and the booster station. The generator at Public Works
provides back up power to the building and the SCADA system, a critical system for operating
the entire City water and sanitary sewer system. Each of the generators located at the Bronson
and Groveland lift stations provide power to the pumps during power outages making sure the
sanitary sewer continues to be pumped.
While Public Works Staff can perform basic/minor preventative and some limited maintenance
they are not trained nor possess the necessary credentials to perform the required annual
inspections and testing on these generators. The City has contracted with qualified contractors
to perform the required services in the past. Proper preventive maintenance required for
standby/ back up power, is to have a certified technician test the generator and provide reports
on the test and needed further maintenance or repairs.
It should be noted that the generators are run under load each 1st Wednesday of each month,
(weather depending) as recommended by the manufacturer.
Discussion:
Staff recently evaluated the best approach to perform preventative maintenance to the
standby/back-up generators for the City and is recommending that Kodiak Power Solutions
perform the annual testing and maintenance. The following is break down for the prices from
Kodiak Power Solutions:
