City Council Workshop
March 20, 2023
The City Council of the City of Hastings, Minnesota met in a workshop on Monday, March
20, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. in the Volunteer Room at the Hastings City Hall, 101 East 4th Street,
Hastings, Minnesota.
Members Present: Mayor Fasbender, Councilmembers, Haus, Fox, Leifeld, Lund, Pemble
Members Absent: Councilmembers Folch
Staff Present: City Administrator Dan Wietecha
Assistant City Administrator Kelly Murtaugh
Community Development Director John Hinzman
Mayor Fasbender called the workshop to order at 5:30 p.m., welcoming Councilmembers and
staff to discuss the Rules of Decorum that were originally adopted in 2018. Wietecha provided
an overview of the previously adopted rules. Council discussion on adding clarity around
committee attendance and sending committee materials. The rules contribute to improved
communication for councilmembers. Council discussion on awareness of the time set aside for
meetings, respecting the scheduled time and not going over. Council agreed that the chair should
manage the time keeping of meetings and have City Administrator connect with the Chair in
advance of the meeting to review and manage the agenda.
Council discussion about meeting day calls working better than texting and the follow-up email
is helpful in keeping information consistent for all councilmembers. Council discussion about
the “Three on Thursday” being very helpful to stay on top of the upcoming happenings.
Council recognition of two important components of the Rules: Continue to trust staff as
professionals and subject matter experts. Being respectful of each other’s time—by being
prepared, bringing up important questions, have an efficient but thorough meeting.
Discussion about respect for staff time with requests, research, and projects. Use of “parking
lot”—items were kept fresh through the use of the tracking list. Items were moved from the
“parking lot” appropriately.
Appreciation of Robert’s Rules—respectful and professional. The efficiency of Robert’s Rules of
Order is everyone’s responsibility and will require some effort. It is a good foundation for
Council’s work together.
Include Mayor in correspondence to City Admin or staff was discussed.
Council discussion that items/issues may be brought up in a less appropriate forum or
timeframe—recommend sending a message to Mayor and/or City Administrator to determine
best format and timing.
Once Council has made a decision, important to follow the decision. Even if individual Council
members do not agree, once the vote is taken, following the decision is the best course of action.
However, if a decision needs to change based on new information, then certainly Council can
review.
Wietecha indicated that the Public Comment email was put in place in response to the pandemic.
There has been no public use of the email in over a year. Council indicated that they are
comfortable letting go of the email inbox, as there are several other options for reaching out to
Council or City staff.
Wietecha inquired about the continued use of Zoom for access to Council meetings. This was set
up by many cities during the pandemic and some are no longer offering. There is minimal public
participation via Zoom. Council discussion on retaining the tool for those who are not able to
participate in person for some reason, as it is more inclusive and demonstrates that the City is
transparent with its meetings.
Updated Rules will be provided for Council to vote on at an upcoming meeting.
The workshop adjourned at 6:43 pm.

316 & Michael Ave). The developer submitted the annexation application in anticipation of future City
Council approvals to generally allow for the number and types of residential units within the conceptual plan.
No official approvals pertaining to residential construction are included in this application. Council is
requested to approve annexation with land use remaining agricultural. Future meetings would look at results
of the traffic impact study, environmental assessment, land use changes, and plan approval. With approval,
the annexation would extend the City boundaries and land use remains the same at this point. Hinzman
outline the many steps in the process that would occur before Council.
Hinzman indicated that the concept plan has been presented to a neighborhood meeting, Planning
Committee of Council, and Planning Commission. Hinzman showed the concept plan and discussed the life
cycle nature of the types of home sites and amenities.
Council discussion on clarifying of current ownership of the property, the increase in number of units
from prior proposals, the mix of types of homes, and traffic. Council discussion on anticipated changes as a
result of the development in terms of tax revenue, increase in new residents, impact on public safety, and
infrastructure. Council asked clarifying questions about the north side barrier with 30’ berm with landscaping,

Councilmember Leifeld motioned to approve as presented, seconded by Councilmember Fox.

Regulations of Cannabis and Hemp Uses, Sales, and Operations. Land reviewed the proposed retail
performance standards (time, place and manner). The same performance standards are in place for zoning and
licensing ordinances. State law changes may impact the proposed ordinances which would require Council to
revisit the ordinances. The proposed state legislation allows cities to adopt a moratorium that is effective until
1/1/25. Land recommends adoption with a late implementation for staff to prepare and communicate to current
business owners.
Council discussion on the details of the proposed language, limits on number of retailers, and the
intersection of state and local proposals. Council expressed appreciation for the presentation. Council
discussion on removing bars (on-sale liquor) as a prohibited establishment. Further discussion about watching
what happens locally and with the state, getting public safety input, and amending the ordinance at a later
date. Council expressed support for the ordinance amendments as presented. Council discussion on extending
moratorium options. Land indicated that an extension is not before Council and the moratorium will expire
prior to the next meeting. Council discussion on implications of the proposed ordinances, recalling the work
into the ordinances, and limitations our public safety departments may encounter. Council discussed the
ability to limit the number of licenses and agriculture properties within the City that may fit the proposed
zoning ordinance. Council asked for additional clarification on prohibitions for on-sale and off-sale products.
Councilmember Leifeld motioned to approve as presented, striking that bars are excluded from both
ordinances, seconded by Councilmember Haus.

6 Ayes, 0 Nays.
1st Reading: City Code Amendment – Chapter 34 – Fee Schedule
Clerk Murtaugh introduced the proposed ordinance amendment in response to the 2nd Readings of
Cannabis and Hemp Zoning and Licensing Ordinances. The proposed ordinance creates a one-time
background investigation fee and an annual fee for the following licenses: Cannabis Product Retail License,
Manufacturing/Testing/Processing/Wholesale License, and Cultivation License. The Public Safety Planning
Commission and the Public Safety Committee of Council recommended a $10,000 fee for retail
establishments.
Council discussion on comparison to liquor license fees and what goes into setting the fees. Council
expressed the proposed retail fee may be inhibitive to retailers, while also understanding the reasoning behind
the proposed fee. Council proposed amending the retail fee to $8,000. Council asked about liquor license fees
in comparison to the proposed fees and other neighboring communities’ licensing fees. Land explained the

Strategic Planning Facilitator
Wietecha introduced the request to select and approve hiring a facilitator for Strategic Planning. Over
the last year, Council used a set of Strategic Initiatives as agreed priorities in order to maintain focus and
progress, drive accomplishment, and ensure regular tracking and reporting. In January of 2023, The City
Council had a general consensus to develop an updated set of initiatives this Spring with several
recommendations.
Council discussion on leaving the decision up to staff as possibly being more versed in making the
choice based on prior experience with these consultants and knowledge of Council goals. Council expressed
support for the recommendations. Wietecha recommended moving forward with Rapp Consulting Group and
clarified this item is not included in the budget.
Councilmember Leifeld motioned to approve as presented, authorizing Rapp Consulting Group as the
consultant, seconded by Councilmember Fox.
6 Ayes, 0 Nays.
Public Works Director
Wietecha reviewed the vacancy in the Public Works Director role and how it has been handled since
summer 2021. After an unsuccessful search, the City amended the contract with Focus Engineering to name
Ryan Stempski as Interim Public Works Director through 2022 and later extended it through March, 2023.

the Management Team. Council is asked to approve appointing Stempski to the Director position.

support of his team. Council discussion on the many critical projects going on now and in the near future and

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Paige Marschall Bigler, Recreation Program Specialist
Date: April 3, 2023
Item: Special Event Designation
Council Action Requested:
Designate the Historic Hastings Car Shows as Special Events with the following conditions
recommended by City staff.
Background Information:
The Downtown Business Association (DBA) is planning for the 2023 Car Show events. The
event dates will be the 3rd Sunday of each month: May 21, June 18, July 16, August 20 and
September 17 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The event has the same footprint as last year.
Conditions
• Street closure of the area barricaded in red (reference map) from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00
p.m. for event. Sibley St. should stay open until 9:30 a.m. to allow for public parking
and Legion access. This would be consistent with 2021 & 2022 Car Shows.
• Event Organizers will post ‘No Parking’ signs 24-hrs. prior to the event. Hastings
Police will tag/tow any cars in restricted area starting at 9:00 a.m. This is consistent
with other special events.
• Area to block-off include: 2nd Street from Tyler Street to the cross street near The
Lock and Dam Eatery. Ramsey Street from Oliver’s Grove Park to the Levee Park
Entrance. Sibley Street from Level Up Games area to the Alley by the previous
‘Onion Grille’ restaurant.
• Barricade at 3rd Street and blocking the East Frontage Road. Barricade can open as
the show ends for exiting traffic.
• Volunteers will direct cars to appropriate open parking spaces on 2nd, filling from end
to end then filling the center of 2nd between Sibley and Tyler. When full, volunteers
will place street barricades, blocking the entrance.
• Volunteers will direct cars North on Tyler St. and shown other public parking areas
nearby.
• Hastings Police Department will continue to provide Reservists and Police Officers
for the Car Show events.
• The Hastings Parks Department will provide 5 picnic tables under the HWY 61
bridge south of 2nd St. next to the artwork area and 3 picnic tables on the Levee Park
sidewalk area near the public restrooms; allowing for proper handicap access.
VIII-07
• Event Organizers will coordinate for a food truck and tent under the bridge (where
picnic tables are placed) and on 2nd street under the bridge. The truck window will
face west so guests line up on the sidewalk and not the street.
• DBA to provide additional trash and recycling receptacles for attendees.
• DBA to provide portable bathrooms for attendees.
• Levee Park restrooms will be cleaned and stocked Sunday mornings by Parks
Department Staff. Restrooms are on an automated timer unlocked 7:00 a.m. – 10:00
p.m. daily, unless an issue arises.
• No extra dates be added to this request; only dates specified.
• No vehicles newer than 1985 allowed in designed event area.
• No animals (unless certified service animals) allowed in designed event area.

to consult in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding the invoice.
E. If the uncontested invoice or uncontested portion of an invoice remains unpaid sixty
(60) days from the invoice date, DIGITECH, at its option, may elect to suspend its
Services under this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to CLIENT
or terminate this contract upon forty- five (45) days prior written notice to CLIENT.
III. CONFIDENTIALITY
A. With regard to CLIENT’s Protected Health Information (“PHI”), DIGITECH will

Agreement set forth in Rider B and applicable law.
B. DIGITECH acknowledges and agrees that any and all information and material
supplied by CLIENT to DIGITECH hereunder shall remain the property of CLIENT.

VIII-08

information designated by CLIENT as “confidential”.
C. CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that the software, and all other systems and
documentation, including training materials, related to the provision of Services
hereunder, are DIGITECH's confidential proprietary information, and CLIENT agrees
that it will disclose such material only to those of its employees and agents who have

for termination for violation of the obligations of the Business Associate Agreement,

written notice.
G. If CLIENT terminates early, CLIENT shall reimburse DIGITECH for the unamortized

V. INDEMNITY AND LIABILITY
A. Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party
and its agents, employees and subcontractors (“Indemnified Party”) from and
against losses, liability, fines, suits, demands, arbitration fees, damages and
VIII-08
4
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) due to claims made by third parties
against an Indemnified Party arising from any act, omission, misrepresentation,
fraud, violation of any law, breach of confidentiality, breach of the Business
Associate Agreement, intellectual property violation, or any willful, wanton,
reckless, or grossly negligent act committed by the defaulting party, or its agents,
employees and subcontractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the defaulting
party’s liability shall be limited as set forth below in paragraphs V(B) through (I).
B. To the extent permitted by law, DIGITECH’s liability shall be limited to amounts paid
by DIGITECH’s errors and omissions insurance policy, excluding any applicable
deductible or retention under that policy, for which DIGITECH shall remain liable.
DIGITECH agrees to maintain no less than $3,000,000 in errors and omissions
insurance covering the performance of its duties set forth herein for the duration of
this Agreement. Except as covered by insurance, in no event shall either party be
liable to the other for any loss in profits, or for any special, incidental, indirect,
consequential or other similar damages (but excluding penalties and fines) suffered
in whole, or in part, in connection with this Agreement, even if a party or its agents
have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Except as covered by
insurance, in no event shall either party be liable for any delay or failure of
performance that is due to causes or conditions beyond that party’s reasonable
control (this clause does not apply to CLIENT’s payment obligations).
C. Both DIGITECH and CLIENT are independent contractors. Neither party, by virtue of
this Agreement, assumes any liability for any debts or obligations of either a financial
or legal nature incurred by the other party, except as set forth herein.
D. CLIENT specifically agrees that it is responsible to repay any overpayments, denials,
recoupments and/or offsets, including interest, penalties and other fees, sought,
demanded or initiated by any governmental or commercial carrier, payer or insurer
in the event it is determined that CLIENT is not entitled to payment for its services
rendered, or if any such carrier, payer or insurer determines that CLIENT has been
paid any amounts in excess of what is otherwise due and payable under the terms
of the applicable governmental or commercial benefit program or insurance policy.
Except to the extent covered by insurance (including payment of deductible) or as a
result of a fine or penalty, DIGITECH’s liability regarding any such bill or billable
incident will not exceed the fee paid to DIGITECH to process such item, except this
limitation of liability shall not apply to any claims or liability that may arise out of
misrepresentation, fraud, or violation of any law, or any willful, wanton, or reckless
or negligent conduct by DIGITECH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DIGITECH shall
pay any penalties and fees caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct.
E. DIGITECH will not be liable in the event of a recoupment caused by a change in
federal or state regulations, a change in the interpretation of federal or state
regulations, a refund caused by an EMS crew member’s or CLIENT’s expired license
VIII-08
5
or certification, or if DIGITECH is directed by the CLIENT to bill against DIGITECH’s
advice and an audit determines that a billable incident should not have been billed.
CLIENT will not be entitled to any refund or credit of any fee paid to DIGITECH, and
DIGITECH will have no liability whatsoever in the event of such recoupment, except
where DIGITECH failed to conduct sufficient due diligence to remain current on any
changes to, or the interpretation of, applicable regulations.
F. In the event that an internal or external audit of paid billable incidents determines
that there was an overpayment for which DIGITECH collected a fee based on billable
incidents given a disputed level of service and/or inaccurate rates, DIGITECH will
issue a credit to CLIENT for an amount equal to the DIGITECH fee earned on the
amount overpaid and returned. Except as set forth above, the credit will be capped
at the amount of the fee paid to DIGITECH for each adjusted billable incident.
G. In the event that the CLIENT receives a duplicate payment or overpayment and must
refund the payer (e.g., the insurance company paid the same invoice twice, or the
insurance company and patient paid the same billable incident, or two different
insurance companies paid the same billable incident), DIGITECH will give the CLIENT
a credit in an amount equal to the portion of DIGITECH’s fee that applies to the
duplicate payment or overpayment after CLIENT has refunded the payer.
H. CLIENT acknowledges that DIGITECH is not a guarantor of collection, and that it shall
not be responsible for any uncollected bills. CLIENT may subcontract with any third
party to follow up regarding accounts that DIGITECH deems uncollectible after
attempting to collect pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Rider A.
I. The rights and remedies in this Section constitute the exclusive rights and remedies
of the parties with respect to matters identified under this Section.
VI. EXCLUSIVITY
A. CLIENT agrees that all billing Services outlined herein will be performed by DIGITECH
exclusively during the term of this Agreement and for a period of at least ninety (90)
days from the last transport date prior to the termination or expiration of this
Agreement (the “Winding Down Period”), and any extensions or renewals thereof.
VII. COMPLIANCE
A. DIGITECH warrants and represents that it maintains adherence to the Office of
Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services Compliance
Program Guidance for billing companies as published in the Federal Register, by the

responsible for verifying that none of CLIENT’s employees are excluded from
participation in any state and/or federal health care program and that every EMS

notify DIGITECH within five (5) business days of CLIENT’s discovery that it is the
subject of any actions, investigations or other proceedings that could lead to its
exclusion from any state and/or federal health care programs.
D. CLIENT warrants that it will not send DIGITECH any trips provided by any excluded
or improperly credentialed individuals.

work on any of CLIENT’s billable incidents.

DIGITECH shall be responsible for processing.
2. Phase II – DIGITECH shall cease all processing including the collection services
described in Rider A, Section II above, sixty (60) days from the Termination Date.
For greater clarity, DIGITECH shall cease importing new billable incidents with
dates of service after the Termination Date, but for sixty (60) days after the
Termination Date, DIGITECH shall continue processing billable incidents with
dates of service prior to the Termination date.
3. Phase III – Upon the conclusion of Phase II, DIGITECH shall cease all billable
incident processing and collections. For an additional sixty (60) days, CLIENT will
continue to provide DIGITECH with remittance advice or cash receipt data, as
described in Section X.B., for all deposits within this 120 day Winding Down
Period, and shall pay to DIGITECH its fees on these receipts pursuant to Section
IV of Rider A. DIGITECH will be entitled to all fees for its Services for the full 120
days of deposits after the Termination Date for which CLIENT receives
remittances. Should the parties agree in writing to extend the Winding Down
Period, DIGITECH shall be entitled to all fees for its Services for the entire time
that the Winding Down Period is extended.
4. Phase IV - Subsequent to the conclusion of Phase III and the Winding Down
Period, DIGITECH will provide client with its data in SQL format once DIGITECH
has been fully paid for services rendered.
5. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all additional services under
Sections V and VI of Rider A shall cease, unless the parties agree in writing to
extend the term of such services to include the Winding Down Period.
6. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, DIGITECH agrees to
reasonably cooperate with CLIENT in transitioning from DIGITECH to another
service provider of CLIENT’s choosing.
7. At the expiration of the Winding Down Period, CLIENT shall cease using all of
DIGITECH’S materials and products, including training manuals. CLIENT shall
either return all materials to DIGITECH or delete such materials.
XII. MODIFICATION; GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; FURTHER
ASSURANCES; SEVERABILITY; WAIVER; AUTHORITY; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
A. This Agreement may be supplemented, amended or modified only by the mutual
agreement of the parties. No waiver, supplement, amendment or modification of
any provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by
VIII-08
11
all parties.
B. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of laws, rules or provisions.
C. The parties agree that any claim or dispute between them, whether related to this
Agreement or otherwise, including the validity of this arbitration clause, shall be
resolved by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”),
under the AAA arbitration rules then in effect, before one (1) arbitrator in
Westchester County, New York State. Any award of the arbitrator may be entered
as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may commence
such arbitration upon no less than thirty (30) days written notice to the other.
D. This Agreement, including the attached rider(s) and exhibit(s), contains the entire
agreement between the parties relating to this transaction and supersedes all
previous understandings and agreements between the parties relating to this
subject matter. Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on any
representation, warranty, or other assurance made by, or on behalf of, the other
party, except as expressly set forth herein.
E. From time to time, each party will execute and deliver such further instruments, and
will take such other action as the other party may reasonably request, in order to
discharge and perform its respective obligations and agreements hereunder.
F. Any provision of this Agreement prohibited by applicable law will be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
G. This Agreement may be the basis for an Interlocal or Cooperative Procurement
Agreement. In the event that this Agreement is the basis for an Interlocal or
Cooperative Procurement, the fees paid by the CLIENT described herein shall not
change for the CLIENT; however, the fees to be paid by another agency shall be
modified so that Digitech may project payment by the other agency of at least $15
per service/transport based on the other agency’s service/transport volume and
payor mix.
H. The failure of either party to require strict performance of any provision will not
diminish that party’s right thereafter to require strict performance of any provision.
I. The signatories below have the authority to sign on behalf of the respective parties.
J. This Agreement shall be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

IV. FEES/BILLING, COLLECTION AND REPORTING SERVICES
A. DIGITECH will charge a fee for the Services described above as follows:
CLIENT shall pay to DIGITECH a fee equal to 5.75% of net monthly EMS billing

DIGITECH’S percentage fee for service covers billable incidents with a date of
service commencing on the go-live date of the contract.
CLIENT shall pay to DIGITECH its collection fee as set forth in this Section IV on
all payments received by CLIENT on any billable incident processed by
DIGITECH, including but not limited to revenue received by CLIENT related to
any State administered Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program.
Said payment shall be in addition to any other fees CLIENT is obligated to pay
to any other entity or subcontractor to analyze and report costs that will help
CLIENT realize said revenue.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, DIGITECH acknowledges that billable incidents
for which DIGITECH provided no processing services and that have been
processed prior to the go-live date may be assigned by CLIENT to other third
party collectors and that DIGITECH has no interest in or responsibility for such
billable incidents.
Provided that CLIENT’s ePCR system can provide a standard NEMSIS file extract,
DIGITECH shall provide an interface from CLIENT’s existing ePCR system to
DIGITECH’s billing software at no charge to CLIENT. Note that in the event
CLIENT’s ePCR vendor charges DIGITECH for any aspect of the ePCR interface,
VIII-08
17
Digitech will pass through such charges to CLIENT.
Pricing is based on the accuracy of the transport and billing data provided by
the CLIENT during the RFP process. Should the data provided to us prove to be
in error, we reserve the right to renegotiate or exit the contract, provided
DIGITECH gives CLIENT a 45 day notice of termination.
Note: DIGITECH’s fee in Section IV(A) above does not include the processing of
billable incidents in which the CLIENT has a contractual obligation to transport
and not bill (and are therefore uncollectible), such as financial hardship cases
and prisoner transports. In addition, DIGITECH’s fee does not cover non-
ambulance transports such as ambulette, wheelchair, and medivan transports.
Such additional fees will be negotiated per Rider A, Section V – Fees/Other
below.
B. The DIGITECH fees do not cover costs or additional fees associated with the
placement of delinquent accounts with a third party collection agency. Any fees
earned by third partly collection agencies from the collection or settlement of
past due accounts placed with such agency shall be the responsibility of the
CLIENT.
V. FEES/OTHER
A. Fees for the processing and/or collection of billable incidents not covered by this
Agreement shall be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Such billable incidents
may include, but are not limited to, billable incidents with dates of service not
covered by this Agreement, non-ambulance billable incidents, non-billable
incidents and incidents where critical processing information may be available
at an unreasonable cost.
B. Time expended by DIGITECH, on behalf of CLIENT, to cover services not covered
by this Agreement or tasks that fall under the responsibility of the CLIENT shall
be billed at a rate to be negotiated, per clerk. Such services include, but are not
limited to, data entry, scanning and call taking/input. No fees may be charged
unless they are preapproved by the CLIENT, in writing, before performed.
C. Time expended by DIGITECH programming staff on behalf of CLIENT, to cover
programming changes or additions not covered by this Agreement shall be billed
at the then current hourly rate for the resources requirement.
D. Provision of services not specifically set forth in this Agreement, including but
not limited to significant assistance with reporting, reporting projects,
projections, interfacing or working with separate entities that are part of or
affiliated with Client’s organization, shall be subject to a separate compensation
VIII-08
18
agreement covering such additional services. The parties agree to act in good
faith to draft mutually acceptable terms of service.
E. DIGITECH may require a work order prior to the provision of such services.
VI. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
CLIENT will reimburse DIGITECH for preapproved travel expenses (at cost). Such
expenses shall be included in the invoice to CLIENT in the month following the date of

(a) With respect to any suspected or actual unauthorized acquisition, access, use
or disclosure (“Acquisition”) of Covered Entity’s PHI by Business Associate, its
agents or subcontractors, and/or any Acquisition of data in violation of any

promptly supplemented with any new or additional information. Business
Associate agrees to cooperate with Covered Entity in meeting Covered Entity’s
obligations under the HITECH Act and other applicable law with respect to such
Breach. Covered Entity shall have sole control over the timing and method of
providing notification of such Breach to the affected individual(s) or others as
required by the HITECH Act and other applicable law.
2.4 Permitted Uses of PHI. Satisfactory performance of its obligations under the Billing
Service Agreement by Business Associate may require Business Associate to receive
or use PHI obtained from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business Associate
on behalf of Covered Entity; provided, however, that Business Associate shall not use
PHI other than for the purpose of performing Business Associate’s obligations under
the Billing Service Agreement (including this Agreement), as permitted or required
under the Billing Service Agreement (including this Agreement), or as required by law.
Business Associate shall not use PHI in any manner that would constitute a violation
of HIPAA if so used by Covered Entity.
2.5 Permitted Disclosures of PHI. Business Associate shall not disclose PHI other than for
the purpose of performing Business Associate’s obligations under the Billing Service
Agreement (including this Agreement), as permitted or required under the Billing
Service Agreement (including this Agreement), or as required by law. Business
Associate shall not disclose PHI in any manner that would constitute a violation of
HIPAA if so disclosed by Covered Entity. To the extent that Business Associate
VIII-08
24
discloses PHI to a third party in carrying out its obligations under the Billing Service
Agreement, Business Associate must obtain, prior to making any such disclosure, (i)
reasonable assurances from such third party that such PHI will be held confidential as
provided pursuant to this Agreement and only disclosed as required by law or for the
purposes for which it was disclosed to such third party, and (ii) an agreement from
such third party to immediately notify Business Associate of any breaches of
confidentiality of the PHI, to the extent the third party has obtained knowledge of
such breach.
2.6 Minimum Necessary. Business Associate shall limit its use, disclosure or request of
PHI to only the minimum necessary as required by law.

Business Associate shall maintain and retain PHI for the term of the Billing Service
Agreement, and make such PHI available to Covered Entity as set forth in this
Agreement.
2.8 Safeguarding PHI. Business Associate shall use appropriate safeguards to prevent the
use or disclosure of PHI other than as permitted by the Billing Service Agreement and
this Agreement. Business Associate will appropriately safeguard electronic PHI in
accordance with the standards specified at 45 CFR § 164.314(a). In particular, Business
Associate will implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that
reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of
electronic PHI that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of Covered
Entity.
2.9 Agents and Subcontractors. Business Associate shall ensure that any agents (including
subcontractors) of Business Associate to whom Business Associate provides PHI
received from Covered Entity, or PHI created or received by Business Associate on
behalf of Covered Entity, agree in writing to the same restrictions and conditions that
apply to Business Associate with respect to such PHI, including the requirement to
implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and
appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PHI. Business
Associate shall implement appropriate sanctions against agents and subcontractors
that violate such restrictions and conditions, including termination of the agency or
subcontractor relationship, if feasible, and shall mitigate the effects of any such
violations.
2.10 Reporting Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Business Associate shall report in writing
to Covered Entity any use or disclosure of PHI not provided for under the Billing
Service Agreement or this Agreement as soon as possible after Business Associate
becomes aware of such an incident but in no case later than five (5) days after the
VIII-08
25
date on which Business Associate becomes aware of any such incident; provided,
however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section constitutes notice
by Business Associate to Covered Entity of the ongoing existence and occurrence of
attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below). “Unsuccessful
Security Incidents” will include, but not be limited to, pings and other broadcast
attacks on Business Associate’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts,
denials of service and any combination of the above, so long as no such incident
results in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of PHI. Business Associate shall take
(i) prompt corrective action to cure any deficiencies that caused the unauthorized use
or disclosure, and (ii) any corrective action required by applicable federal and state
law.
2.11 Access to Information. Within five (5) days of Covered Entity’s request, Business
Associate shall provide Covered Entity with access to Covered Entity’s PHI maintained
by Business Associate or its agents or subcontractors to enable Covered Entity to fulfill
its obligations under the Privacy Standards, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR §
164.524.
2.12 Availability of PHI for Amendment. The parties acknowledge that the Privacy
Standards permit an individual who is the subject of PHI to request certain
amendments of their records. Upon Covered Entity’s request for an amendment of
PHI or a record about an individual contained in a Designated Record Set, but not later
than five (5) days after receipt of such request, Business Associate and its agents or
subcontractors shall make such PHI available to Covered Entity for amendment and
incorporate any such amendment to enable Covered Entity to fulfill its obligations
under the Privacy Standards, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR § 164.526. If any
individual requests an amendment of PHI directly from Business Associate or its
agents or subcontractors, Business Associate must notify Covered Entity in writing
within five (5) days of the request. Covered Entity has the sole authority to deny a
request for amendment of PHI received or created under the terms of the Billing
Service Agreement and maintained by Business Associate or its agents or
subcontractors.
2.13 Accounting of Disclosures. Upon Covered Entity’s request, Business Associate, its
agents and subcontractors shall make available the information required to provide
an accounting of disclosures to enable Covered Entity to fulfill its obligations under
the Privacy Standards, including, but not limited to, 45 CFR § 164.528. For this
purpose, Business Associate shall retain a record of disclosure of PHI for at least six (6)
years from the date of disclosure. Business Associate agrees to implement a process
that allows for an accounting to be collected and maintained by Business Associate
and its agents or subcontractors for at least six (6) years prior to the request, but not
before the effective date of the Billing Service Agreement. At a minimum, such
VIII-08
26
information shall include: (i) the date of disclosure; (ii) the name of the entity or
person who received PHI and, if known, the address of the entity or person; (iii) a brief
description of PHI disclosed; and (iv) a brief statement of the purpose of the disclosure
that reasonably informs the individual of the basis for the disclosure, or a copy of the
individual’s authorization, or a copy of the written request for disclosure. Where a
request for an accounting is delivered directly to Business Associate or its agents or
subcontractors, Business Associate shall within five (5) days of a request forward it to
Covered Entity in writing. It shall be Covered Entity’s responsibility to prepare and
deliver any such reply to the requested accounting.
2.14 Agreement to Restriction on Disclosure. If Covered Entity is required to comply with
a restriction on the disclosure of PHI pursuant to § 13405 of the HITECH Act, then
Covered Entity shall provide written notice to Business Associate of the name of the
individual requesting the restriction and the PHI affected thereby. Business Associate
shall, upon receipt of such notification, not disclose the identified PHI to any health
plan for the purposes of carrying out Payment or Health Care Operations, except as
otherwise required by law.
2.15 Accounting of Disclosures of Electronic Health Records (“EHR”). If Business Associate
is deemed to use or maintain an EHR on behalf of Covered Entity, then Business
Associate shall maintain an accounting of any disclosures made through an EHR for
Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations, as required by law. Upon request
by Covered Entity, Business Associate shall provide such accounting to Covered Entity
in the time and manner specified by law. Alternatively, if Covered Entity responds to
an individual’s request for an accounting of disclosures made through an EHR by
providing the requesting individual with a list of all business associates acting on
behalf of Covered Entity, then Business Associate shall provide such accounting
directly to the requesting individual in the time and manner specified by the HITECH
Act.
2.16 Access to Electronic Health Records. If Business Associate is deemed to use or
maintain an EHR on behalf of Covered Entity with respect to PHI, then, to the extent
an individual has the right to request a copy of the PHI maintained in such EHR
pursuant to 45 CFR § 164.524 and makes such a request to Business Associate,
Business Associate shall provide such individual with a copy of the PHI in the EHR in
an electronic format and, if the individual so chooses, transmit such copy directly to
an entity or person designated by the individual. Business Associate may charge a fee,
not to exceed Contractor’s labor costs to respond, to the individual for providing the
copy of the PHI. The provisions of 45 CFR § 164.524, including the exceptions to the
requirement to provide a copy of PHI, shall otherwise apply and Business Associate
shall comply therewith as if Business Associate were Covered Entity. At Covered
Entity’s request, Business Associate shall provide Covered Entity with a copy of an
VIII-08
27
individual’s PHI maintained in an EHR in an electronic format and in a time and manner
designated by Covered Entity in order for Covered Entity to comply with 45 CFR
§ 164.524, as amended by the HITECH Act.
2.17 Remuneration for PHI. Business Associate agrees that it shall not, directly or
indirectly, receive remuneration in exchange for any PHI of Covered Entity except as
otherwise permitted by law.
2.18 Governmental Access to Books and Records. For purposes of determining Covered
Entity’s compliance with the HIPAA, Business Associate agrees to make available to
the Secretary its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and
disclosure of PHI received from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business
Associate on behalf of Covered Entity.
2.19 Data Ownership. Business Associate acknowledges that Business Associate has no
ownership rights with respect to the PHI.
2.20 Insurance. Business Associate shall maintain commercial general liability insurance,
with commercially reasonable liability limits, that includes coverage for damage to
persons or property arising from any breach of the terms of this Agreement.
2.21 Audits, Inspection and Enforcement. Within ten (10) days of a written request by
Covered Entity, Business Associate and its agents or subcontractors shall allow
Covered Entity to conduct a reasonable inspection of the facilities, systems, books,
records, agreements, policies and procedures relating to the use or disclosure of PHI
pursuant to this Agreement for the purpose of determining whether Business
Associate has complied with this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Business
Associate and Covered Entity shall mutually agree in advance upon the scope, timing
and location of such an inspection; (ii) Covered Entity shall protect the confidentiality
of all confidential and proprietary information of Business Associate to which Covered
Entity has access during the course of such inspection; and (iii) Covered Entity shall
execute a nondisclosure agreement, upon terms mutually agreed upon by the parties,
if requested by Business Associate. Covered Entity and its authorized agents or
contractors, may, at Covered Entity’s expense, examine Business Associate’s facilities,
systems, procedures and records as may be necessary for such agents or contractors
to certify to Covered Entity the extent to which Business Associate’s security
safeguards comply with HIPAA, the HITECH Act or this Agreement, to the extent that
Covered Entity determines that such examination is necessary to comply with Covered
Entity’s legal obligations pursuant to HIPAA or the HITECH Act relating to certification
of its security practices. The fact that Covered Entity inspects, or fails to inspect, or
has the right to inspect, Business Associate’s facilities, systems, books, records,
agreements, policies and procedures does not relieve Business Associate of its
VIII-08
28
responsibility to comply with this Agreement, nor does Covered Entity’s (i) failure to
detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify Business Associate or require Business
Associate’s remediation of any unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such
practices or a waiver of Covered Entity’s enforcement rights under the Billing Service
Agreement or this Agreement.
2.22 Return of PHI at Termination. Upon termination of the Billing Service Agreement,
Business Associate shall, where feasible, destroy or return to Covered Entity all PHI
received from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business Associate or its
agents or subcontractors on behalf of Covered Entity. Where return or destruction is
not feasible, the duties of Business Associate under this Agreement shall be extended
to protect the PHI retained by Business Associate. Business Associate agrees not to
further use or disclose information for which the return or destruction is infeasible.
Business Associate shall certify in writing the destruction of the PHI and to the
continued protection of PHI that is not feasible to destroy.
2.23 Retention of PHI. Business Associate and its contractors or agents shall retain
communications and documents required to be maintained by HIPAA for six (6) years
after termination of the Billing Service Agreement.
2.24 Business Associate’s Performance of Obligations of Covered Entity. To the extent the
Business Associate is to carry out one or more of Covered Entity’s obligation(s) under
the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Business Associate shall comply with the requirements of the
Privacy Rule that apply to Covered Entity when it carries out such obligation(s).
Article 3: Duties of Covered Entity
3.1 Using Appropriate Safeguards. Covered Entity shall be responsible for using
appropriate safeguards to maintain and ensure the confidentiality, privacy and
security of PHI transmitted to Business Associate pursuant to the Billing Service
Agreement, in accordance with the standards and requirements of HIPAA.
Article 4: Term and Termination
4.1 Term. The provisions of this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date
and shall continue in effect until all of the PHI provided by Covered Entity to Business
Associate, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity is
destroyed or returned to Covered Entity, or, if it is infeasible to return or destroy the
PHI, protections are extended to such information in accordance with the termination
provisions in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
4.2 Termination by Covered Entity.
VIII-08
29
(a) A breach by Business Associate of any material provision of this Agreement, as
determined by Covered Entity, shall constitute a material breach of the Billing
Service Agreement and shall provide grounds for immediate termination of
the Billing Service Agreement by Covered Entity.
(b) If Covered Entity knows of a pattern of activity or practice of Business
Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of Business
Associate’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement or another
arrangement and does not terminate the Billing Service Agreement pursuant
to Section 4.2(a) of this Agreement, then Business Associate shall take
reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such violation, as applicable. If
Business Associate’s efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are
unsuccessful, Covered Entity shall either (i) terminate the Billing Service
Agreement, if feasible or (ii) if termination of the Billing Service Agreement is
not feasible, Covered Entity shall report Business Associate’s breach or
violation to the Secretary.
4.3 Termination by Business Associate. If Business Associate knows of a pattern of
activity or practice of Covered Entity that constitutes a material breach or violation of
Covered Entity’s obligations under the Billing Service Agreement or this Agreement,
then Business Associate shall immediately notify Covered Entity. With respect to such
breach or violation, Business Associate shall (i) take reasonable steps to cure such
breach or end such violation, if possible; or (ii) if such steps are either not possible or
are unsuccessful, upon written notice to Covered Entity, terminate the Billing Service
Agreement; or (iii) if such termination is not feasible, report Covered Entity’s breach
or violation to the Secretary.
4.4 Termination by Either Party. Either party may terminate the Billing Service
Agreement, effective immediately, if (i) the other party is named as a defendant in a
criminal proceeding for a violation of HIPAA, the HITECH Act or other security or
privacy laws, or (ii) a finding or stipulation that the other party has violated any
standard or requirement of HIPAA, the HITECH Act or other security or privacy laws is
made in any administrative or civil proceeding in which the party has been joined.
Article 5: Miscellaneous
5.1 Acknowledgment. Business Associate recognizes and agrees that it is obligated by law
to comply with the applicable provisions of the HITECH Act.
5.2 Change in Law. The parties agree to promptly enter into negotiations concerning the
terms of the Billing Service Agreement (including this Agreement), and to negotiate in
good faith, if, in either party’s business judgment, modification of the Billing Service
VIII-08
30
Agreement (including this Agreement) becomes necessary due to legislative,
regulatory, or judicial developments regarding HIPAA or the HITECH Act. Covered
Entity may terminate the Billing Service Agreement upon thirty (30) days written
notice in the event (i) Business Associate does not promptly enter into negotiations to
amend the Billing Service Agreement when requested by Covered Entity pursuant to
this § 5.2, or (ii) Business Associate does not enter into an amendment to the Billing
Service Agreement providing assurances regarding the safeguarding of PHI that
Covered Entity, in its sole discretion, deems sufficient to satisfy the standards and
requirements of HIPAA and the HITECH Act.
5.3 Disclaimer. Covered Entity makes no warranty or representation that compliance by
Business Associate with HIPAA, the HITECH Act or this Agreement will be adequate or
satisfactory for Business Associate’s own purposes. Business Associate is solely
responsible for all decisions made by Business Associate regarding the safeguarding
of PHI.
5.4 Assistance in Litigation or Administrative Proceedings. Business Associate shall make
itself, and any subcontractors, employees or agents assisting Business Associate in the
performance of its obligations under the Billing Service Agreement or this Agreement,
available to Covered Entity, at no cost to Covered Entity, to testify as witness, or
otherwise, in the event of litigation or administrative proceedings being commenced
against Covered Entity, its members/shareholders, managers/directors, officers or
employees based upon a claimed violation of HIPAA or the HITECH Act or other laws
relating to security and privacy, except where Business Associate, or its subcontractor,
employee or agent is a named adverse party.
5.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is
intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than
Covered Entity, Business Associate and their respective successors or assigns, any
rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever.
5.6 Interpretation. Section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not
be used in interpreting this Agreement. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be
resolved to permit the parties to comply with the requirements of HIPAA and the
HITECH Act. In the event of conflict between the Billing Service Agreement and this
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. Any reference in this
Agreement to a section in the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health
Information at 45 CFR part 160 and part 164, subparts A and E, the Security Standards

Date: April 3, 2023
Item: 1st Reading: City Code Amendment – Chapters 34, 154, and 155 – Escrows and

Council Action Requested:
Consider the following actions amending the Hastings City Code pertaining to escrows
and fees:
1) Consider 1st Reading and Order a Public Hearing: City Code Chapter 34.03 -
Fees
2) Consider 1st Reading and Order a Public Hearing: City Code Chapter 154 –
Subdivision Ordinance
3) Consider 1st Reading: City Code Chapter 155 – Zoning Ordinance (public
hearing held at Planning Commission)
Action on the above would allow for final consideration at the April 17, 2023 City
Council meeting. A simple majority is necessary for action.
Background:
The amendments accomplish the following:
• Delete specific fees in each code with Chapters 154 and 155. All fees are already

• Establish more specific requirements for escrows including use and replenishment
of funds, final payments and return of unused funds to the applicant.
• Establish a uniform $5,000 escrow for annexation, environmental assessment, site
plan, and preliminary plat actions.
Financial Impact:
Adoption of the amendment would better ensure the payment of development
related expenses by the applicant.

To: Planning Commissioners
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: March 27, 2023
Item: Public Hearing - Amend City Code Chapters 154 and 155 – Escrows and Fees
Planning Commission Action Requested
Hold a public hearing and recommend action to amend City Code Chapter 154 – Subdivision and
Chapter 155 – Zoning Code pertaining to escrows and fees. The public hearing notice officially
would only be for Chapter 155 only, with the public hearing for Chapter 154 being held during the
2nd reading at City Council. This is due to the Planning Commission public hearing notice not
referencing the amendment to Chapter 154. The amendments to both chapters are identical.
Purpose
The amendments accomplish the following:
- Delete specific fees in each code; the City fees are already referenced in Chapter 34.03 – Fees
(along with all other City fees).
- Establish more specific requirements for the purpose of escrows stating that they are a deposit
and allowing the City to collect escrow above the stipulated amount. It also allows the City to
cease review of projects if the escrow amount is in deficit.
Escrows
Escrows are established for certain land use applications in which the total cost for review vary
greatly from application to application. They include both Preliminary Plats and Site Plans. The
purpose of an escrow is to require the applicant to reimburse the City for staff review and
consultant costs related to review of the application. Any funds remaining at the end of a project
are reimbursed back to the applicant.
Recommendation
Approval of the proposed ordinance is recommended.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Emily King, Deputy City Clerk
Date: April 3, 2023
Item: 2nd Reading: Ordinance Amendment, Chapter 34 - Fee Schedule
Council Action Requested:
Consider 2nd Reading of the following amendment to Hastings City Code pertaining to the adoption of
licensing fees for Uses, Sales, and Operations of Cannabis and Hemp Businesses. The proposed ordinance
amendments may be influenced by current state-level discussion and subsequent action.
Background Information:
The Public Safety Advisory Commission (PSAC) began reviewing the new legislation in August 2022 in order
to make a recommendation to the Hastings Public Safety Committee of the Council (PSC) on potential
regulations of these cannabis products. PSAC recommended the Council adopt a one-year moratorium to allow
PSAC time to gather information. On September 19, 2022, the City Council approved a moratorium of 6
months, which has now expired.
The proposed amendment creates a one-time background check fee and an annual fee for the following
licenses: Cannabis Product Retail License, Manufacturing/Testing/Processing/Wholesale, and Cultivation. This
is in response to the adoption of zoning and licensing ordinances also before Council at this time.
PSAC and PSC recommended a $10,000 annual license fee for retail establishments. They indicated if State
legislation were to later invalidate the City’s licensing, then any received fees should be refunded on a pro rata
basis.
Council action on March 20, 2023 amended the annual license fee for retail establishments from $10,000 to
$8,000.

STATE OF MINNESOTA
AGENCY AGREEMENT
for
FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN CONSTRUCTION
This Agreement is entered into by and between City of Hastings (“Local Government”) and the State of Minnesota acting
through its Commissioner of Transportation (“MnDOT”).
RECITALS
1. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 161.36, the Local Government desires MnDOT to act as the Local
Government’s agent in accepting federal funds on the Local Government’s behalf for the construction,
improvement, or enhancement of transportation financed either in whole or in part by Federal Highway
Administration (“FHWA”) federal funds, hereinafter referred to as the “Project(s)”; and
2. This Agreement is intended to cover all federal aid projects initiated by the Local Government and therefore has
no specific State Project number associated with it, and
2.1. The Assistance Listing Number (ALN) is 20.205, 20.224, 20.933 or another Department of Transportation
ALN as listed on SAM.gov and
2.2. This project is for construction, not research and development.
2.3. MnDOT requires that the terms and conditions of this agency be set forth in an agreement.
AGREEMENT TERMS
1. Term of Agreement; Prior Agreement
1.1. Effective Date. This Agreement will be effective on the date that MnDOT obtains all required signatures
under Minn. Stat. §16C.05, Subd. 2. This Agreement will remain effective until it is superseded or
terminated pursuant to section 14.
1.2. Prior Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the prior agreement between the parties, MnDOT Contract
Number 1029953.
2. Local Government’s Duties
2.1. Designation. The Local Government designates MnDOT to act as its agent in accepting federal funds on its
behalf made available for the Project(s). Details on the required processes and procedures are available on
the State Aid Website.
2.2. Staffing.
2.2.1. The Local Government will furnish and assign a publicly employed and licensed engineer, (“Project
Engineer"), to be in responsible charge of the Project(s) and to supervise and direct the work to be
performed under any construction contract let for the Project(s). In the alternative, where the Local
Government elects to use a private consultant for construction engineering services, the Local
Government will provide a qualified, full‐time public employee of the Local Government to be in
responsible charge of the Project(s). The services of the Local Government to be performed hereunder
may not be assigned, sublet, or transferred unless the Local Government is notified in writing by
MnDOT that such action is permitted under 23 CFR 1.33 and 23 CFR 635.105 and state law. This
VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216
2
written consent will in no way relieve the Local Government from its primary responsibility for
performance of the work.
2.2.2. During the progress of the work on the Project(s), the Local Government authorizes its Project
Engineer to request in writing specific engineering and/or technical services from MnDOT, pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes Section 161.39. Such services may be covered by other technical service
agreements. If MnDOT furnishes the services requested, and if MnDOT requests reimbursement, then
the Local Government will promptly pay MnDOT to reimburse the state trunk highway fund for the full
cost and expense of furnishing such services. The costs and expenses will include the current MnDOT
labor additives and overhead rates, subject to adjustment based on actual direct costs that have been
verified by audit. Provision of such services will not be deemed to make MnDOT a principal or co‐
principal with respect to the Project(s).
2.3. Pre‐letting. The Local Government will prepare construction contracts in accordance with Minnesota law
and applicable Federal laws and regulations.
2.3.1. The Local Government will solicit bids after obtaining written notification from MnDOT that the FHWA
has authorized the Project(s). Any Project(s) advertised prior to authorization without permission will
not be eligible for federal reimbursement.
2.3.2. The Local Government will prepare the Proposal for Highway Construction for the construction
contract, which will include all federal‐aid provisions supplied by MnDOT.
2.3.3. The Local Government will prepare and publish the bid solicitation for the Project(s) as required by
state and federal laws. The Local Government will include in the solicitation the required language for
federal‐aid construction contracts as supplied by MnDOT. The solicitation will state where the
proposals, plans, and specifications are available for the inspection of prospective bidders and where
the Local Government will receive the sealed bids.
2.3.4. The Local Government may not include other work in the construction contract for the authorized
Project(s) without obtaining prior notification from MnDOT that such work is allowed by FHWA.
Failure to obtain such notification may result in the loss of some or all of the federal funds for the
Project(s). All work included in a federal contract is subject to the same federal requirements as the
federal project.
2.3.5. The Local Government will prepare and sell the plan and proposal packages and prepare and
distribute any addenda, if needed.
2.3.6. The Local Government will receive and open bids.
2.3.7. After the bids are opened, the Local Government will consider the bids and will award the bid to the
lowest responsible bidder or reject all bids. If the construction contract contains a goal for
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), the Local Government will not award the bid until it has
received certification of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation from the MnDOT Office
of Civil Rights.
2.3.8. The Local Government must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal
awarding agency or MnDOT in accordance with applicable FHWA policy.
2.4. Contract Administration.
2.4.1. The Local Government will prepare and execute a construction contract with the lowest responsible
bidder, hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor,” in accordance with the special provisions and the
latest edition of MnDOT’s Standard Specifications for Construction when the contract is awarded and
all amendments thereto. All contracts between the Local Government and third parties or
subcontractors must contain all applicable provisions of this Agreement, including the applicable
VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216
3
federal contract clauses, which are identified in Appendix II of 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and as identified in Section
18 of this Agreement.
2.4.2. The Project(s) will be constructed in accordance with the plans, special provisions, and standard
specifications of each Project. The standard specifications will be the latest edition of MnDOT
Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and all amendments thereto. The plans, special
provisions, and standard specifications will be on file at the Local Government Engineer’s Office. The
plans, special provisions, and specifications are incorporated into this Agreement by reference as
though fully set forth herein.
2.4.3. The Local Government will furnish the personnel, services, supplies, and equipment necessary to
properly supervise, inspect, and document the work for the Project(s). The services of the Local
Government to be performed hereunder may not be assigned, sublet, or transferred unless the Local
Government is notified in writing by MnDOT that such action is permitted under 23 CFR 1.33 and 23
CFR 635.105 and state law. This written consent will in no way relieve the Local Government from its
primary responsibility for performance of the work.
2.4.4. The Local Government will document quantities in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the
Construction Section of the Electronic State Aid Manual that are in effect at the time the work was
performed.

2.4.6. The Local Government may make changes in the plans or the character of the work, as may be
necessary to complete the Project(s), and may enter into Change Order(s) with the Contractor. The
Local Government will not be reimbursed for any costs of any work performed under a change order
unless MnDOT has notified the Local Government that the subject work is eligible for federal funds
and sufficient federal funds are available.
2.4.7. The Local Government will request approval from MnDOT for all costs in excess of the amount of
federal funds previously approved for the Project(s) prior to incurring such costs. Failure to obtain
such approval may result in such costs being disallowed for reimbursement.
2.4.8. The Local Government will prepare reports, keep records, and perform work so as to meet federal
requirements and to enable MnDOT to collect the federal aid sought by the Local Government.
Required reports are listed in the MnDOT State Aid Manual, Delegated Contract Process Checklist,
available from MnDOT’s authorized representative. The Local Government will retain all records and
reports and allow MnDOT or the FHWA access to such records and reports for six years.
2.4.9. Upon completion of the Project(s), the Project Engineer will determine whether the work will be
accepted.
2.5. Limitations.
2.5.1. The Local Government will comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances, and
regulations.
2.5.2. Nondiscrimination. It is the policy of the Federal Highway Administration and the State of Minnesota
that no person in the United States will, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program
or activity receiving Federal financial assistance (42 U.S.C. 2000d). Through expansion of the mandate
VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216
4
for nondiscrimination in Title VI and through parallel legislation, the proscribed bases of discrimination
include race, color, sex, national origin, age, and disability. In addition, the Title VI program has been
extended to cover all programs, activities and services of an entity receiving Federal financial
assistance, whether such programs and activities are Federally assisted or not. Even in the absence of
prior discriminatory practice or usage, a recipient in administering a program or activity to which this
part applies is expected to take affirmative action to assure that no person is excluded from
participation in, or is denied the benefits of, the program or activity on the grounds of race, color,
national origin, sex, age, or disability. It is the responsibility of the Local Government to carry out the
above requirements.
2.5.3. Utilities. The Local Government will treat all public, private or cooperatively owned utility facilities
which directly or indirectly serve the public and which occupy highway rights of way in conformance
with 23 CFR 645 “Utilities”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
2.6. Maintenance. The Local Government assumes full responsibility for the operation and maintenance of any
facility constructed or improved under this Agreement.

of federal funds and will act in accordance herewith.

in the bid solicitation and will provide the required Federal‐aid provisions to be included in the Proposal
for Highway Construction.
3.2.3. MnDOT will review and certify the DBE participation and notify the Local Government when certification
is complete. If certification of DBE participation (or good faith efforts to achieve such participation)
cannot be obtained, then Local Government must decide whether to proceed with awarding the
contract. Failure to obtain such certification will result in the Project becoming ineligible for federal
assistance, and the Local Government must make up any shortfall.
3.2.4. MnDOT will provide the required labor postings.
3.3. Authority. MnDOT may withhold federal funds, where MnDOT or the FHWA determines that the Project(s)
was not completed in compliance with federal requirements.

have the right to audit, evaluate and monitor the work performed under this Agreement. The Local
Government will make all books, records, and documents pertaining to the work hereunder available for a
minimum of six years following the closing of the construction contract.
4. Time
4.1. The Local Government must comply with all time requirements described in this Agreement. In the
performance of this Agreement, time is of the essence.
4.2. The period of performance is defined as beginning on the date of federal authorization and ending on the

5. Payment
5.1. Cost. The entire cost of the Project(s) is to be paid from federal funds made available by the FHWA and by
other funds provided by the Local Government. The Local Government will pay any part of the cost or
expense of the Project(s) that is not paid by federal funds. MnDOT will receive the federal funds to be paid
by the FHWA for the Project(s), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 161.36, Subdivision 2. MnDOT will
reimburse the Local Government, from said federal funds made available to each Project, for each partial
payment request, subject to the availability and limits of those funds.
5.2. Indirect Cost Rate Proposal/Cost Allocation Plan. If the Local Government seeks reimbursement for indirect
costs and has submitted to MnDOT an indirect cost rate proposal or a cost allocation plan, the rate proposed
will be used on a provisional basis. At any time during the period of performance or the final audit of a
Project, MnDOT may audit and adjust the indirect cost rate according to the cost principles in 2 CFR Part
200. MnDOT may adjust associated reimbursements accordingly.
5.3. Reimbursement. The Local Government will prepare partial estimates in accordance with the terms of the

include a copy of the certified final estimate along with the required records.
5.3.4. Upon completion of the Project(s), MnDOT will perform a final inspection and verify the federal and
state eligibility of all payment requests. If the Project is found to have been completed in accordance
with the plans and specifications, MnDOT will promptly release any remaining federal funds due the
Local Government for the Project(s). If MnDOT finds that the Local Government has been overpaid,
the Local Government must promptly return any excess funds.
5.3.5. In the event MnDOT does not obtain funding from the Minnesota Legislature or other funding source,
or funding cannot be continued at a sufficient level to allow for the processing of the federal aid
reimbursement requests, the Local Government may continue the work with local funds only, until
such time as MnDOT is able to process the federal aid reimbursement requests.
5.4. Matching Funds. Any cost sharing or matching funds required of the Local Government in this Agreement
must comply with 2 CFR 200.306.

200. If, for any reason, the federal government fails to pay part of the cost or expense incurred by the Local
Government, or in the event the total amount of federal funds is not available, the Local Government will be

Project and submit all financial, performance, and other reports as required by the terms of this Agreement
and the Federal award at least twenty‐four months prior to the end date of the period of performance for
each Project. MnDOT will determine, at its sole discretion, whether a closeout audit is required prior to final
payment approval. If a closeout audit is required, final payment will be held until the audit has been
completed. Monitoring of any capital assets acquired with funds will continue following project closeout.
6. Conditions of Payment. All services provided by Local Government under this Agreement must be performed to
MnDOT’s satisfaction, as determined at the sole discretion of MnDOT’s Authorized Representative, and in
accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. The Local
Government will not receive payment for work found by MnDOT to be unsatisfactory or performed in violation of
federal, state, or local law.

Agreement without the prior written consent of MnDOT and a fully executed Assignment Agreement,
executed and approved by the same parties who executed and approved this Agreement, or their successors

VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216
7
Local Government. No other understanding regarding this Agreement, whether written or oral, may be used
to bind either party.
8.5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is found to be invalid or

by the law.
8.6. Electronic Records and Signatures. The parties agree to contract by electronic means. This includes using
electronic signatures and converting original documents to electronic records.
8.7. Certification. By signing this Agreement, the Local Government certifies that it is not suspended or

9. Liability and Claims
9.1. Tort Liability. Each party is responsible for its own acts and omissions and the results thereof to the extent
authorized by law and will not be responsible for the acts and omissions of any others and the results
thereof. The Minnesota Tort Claims Act, Minnesota Statutes Section 3.736, governs MnDOT liability.
9.2. Claims. The Local Government acknowledges that MnDOT is acting only as the Local Government’s agent
for acceptance and disbursement of federal funds, and not as a principal or co‐principal with respect to the
Project. The Local Government will pay any and all lawful claims arising out of or incidental to the Project
including, without limitation, claims related to contractor selection (including the solicitation, evaluation,
and acceptance or rejection of bids or proposals), acts or omissions in performing the Project work, and any
ultra vires acts. To the extent permitted by law, the Local Government will indemnify, defend (to the
extent permitted by the Minnesota Attorney General), and hold MnDOT harmless from any claims or costs
arising out of or incidental to the Project(s), including reasonable attorney fees incurred by MnDOT. The
Local Government’s indemnification obligation extends to any actions related to the certification of DBE
participation, even if such actions are recommended by MnDOT.
10. Audits
10.1. Under Minn. Stat. § 16C.05, Subd.5, the books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and
practices of the Local Government, or any other party relevant to this Agreement or transaction, are subject
to examination by MnDOT and/or the State Auditor or Legislative Auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of
six years from the end of this Agreement, receipt and approval of all final reports, or the required period of
time to satisfy all state and program retention requirements, whichever is later. The Local Government will
take timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies identified by an audit.
10.2. All requests for reimbursement are subject to audit, at MnDOT’s discretion. The cost principles outlined in 2
CFR 200.400‐.476 will be used to determine whether costs are eligible for reimbursement under this
Agreement.
10.3. If Local Government expends $750,000 or more in Federal Funds during the Local Government’s fiscal year,
the Local Government must have a single audit or program specific audit conducted in accordance with 2
CFR Part 200.
11. Government Data Practices. The Local Government and MnDOT must comply with the Minnesota Government
Data Practices Act, Minn. Stat. Ch. 13, as it applies to all data provided by MnDOT under this Agreement, and as it
applies to all data created, collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the Local
Government under this Agreement. The civil remedies of Minn. Stat. §13.08 apply to the release of the data
referred to in this clause by either the Local Government or MnDOT.
12. Workers Compensation. The Local Government certifies that it is in compliance with Minn. Stat. §176.181, Subd.
2, pertaining to workers’ compensation insurance coverage. The Local Government’s employees and agents will
VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216
8
not be considered MnDOT employees. Any claims that may arise under the Minnesota Workers’ Compensation
Act on behalf of these employees and any claims made by any third party as a consequence of any act or omission
on the part of these employees are in no way MnDOT’s obligation or responsibility.
13. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. Minnesota law, without regard to its choice‐of‐law provisions, governs
this Agreement. Venue for all legal proceedings out of this Agreement, or its breach, must be in the appropriate
state or federal court with competent jurisdiction in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
14. Termination; Suspension
14.1. Termination by MnDOT. MnDOT may terminate this Agreement with or without cause, upon 30 days
written notice to the Local Government. Upon termination, the Local Government will be entitled to
payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed.
14.2. Termination for Cause. MnDOT may immediately terminate this Agreement if MnDOT finds that there has
been a failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, that reasonable progress has not been
made, that fraudulent or wasteful activity has occurred, that the Local Government has been convicted of a
criminal offense relating to a state agreement, or that the purposes for which the funds were granted have
not been or will not be fulfilled. MnDOT may take action to protect the interests of MnDOT of Minnesota,
including the refusal to disburse additional funds and/or requiring the return of all or part of the funds
already disbursed.
14.3. Termination for Insufficient Funding. MnDOT may immediately terminate this Agreement if:
14.3.1. It does not obtain funding from the Minnesota Legislature; or
14.3.2. If funding cannot be continued at a level sufficient to allow for the payment of the services covered
here. Termination must be by written or fax notice to the Local Government. MnDOT is not
obligated to pay for any services that are provided after notice and effective date of termination.
However, the Local Government will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for
services satisfactorily performed to the extent that funds are available. MnDOT will not be assessed
any penalty if the Agreement is terminated because of the decision of the Minnesota Legislature, or
other funding source, not to appropriate funds. MnDOT will provide the Local Government notice of
the lack of funding within a reasonable time of MnDOT’s receiving that notice.
14.4. Suspension. MnDOT may immediately suspend this Agreement in the event of a total or partial government
shutdown due to the failure to have an approved budget by the legal deadline. Work performed by the
Local Government during a period of suspension will be deemed unauthorized and undertaken at risk of
non‐payment.
15. Data Disclosure. Under Minn. Stat. § 270C.65, Subd. 3, and other applicable law, the Local Government consents
to disclosure of its social security number, federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax
identification number, already provided to MnDOT, to federal and state tax agencies and state personnel involved
in the payment of state obligations. These identification numbers may be used in the enforcement of federal and
state tax laws which could result in action requiring the Local Government to file state tax returns and pay
delinquent state tax liabilities, if any.
16. Fund Use Prohibited. The Local Government will not utilize any funds received pursuant to this Agreement to
compensate, either directly or indirectly, any contractor, corporation, partnership, or business, however
organized, which is disqualified or debarred from entering into or receiving a State contract. This restriction
applies regardless of whether the disqualified or debarred party acts in the capacity of a general contractor, a
subcontractor, or as an equipment or material supplier. This restriction does not prevent the Local Government
from utilizing these funds to pay any party who might be disqualified or debarred after the Local Government’s
contract award on this Project.
VIII-14
MnDOT Contract No. 1052216

17. Discrimination Prohibited by Minnesota Statutes §181.59. The Local Government will comply with the provisions
of Minnesota Statutes §181.59 which requires that every contract for or on behalf of the State of Minnesota, or
any county, city, town, township, school, school district or any other district in the state, for materials, supplies or
construction will contain provisions by which Contractor agrees: 1) That, in the hiring of common or skilled labor
for the performance of any work under any contract, or any subcontract, no Contractor, material supplier or

account of race, creed or color; 3) That a violation of this section is a misdemeanor; and 4) That this contract may
be canceled or terminated by the state of Minnesota, or any county, city, town, township, school, school district or
any other person authorized to contracts for employment, and all money due, or to become due under the
contract, may be forfeited for a second or any subsequent violation of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
18. Federal Contract Clauses
18.1. Appendix II 2 CFR Part 200. The Local Government agrees to comply with the following federal
requirements as identified in 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards, and agrees to pass through these requirements to its subcontractors and
third‐party contractors, as applicable. In addition, the Local Government shall have the same meaning as
“Contractor” in the federal requirements listed below.
18.1.1. Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold, which is the inflation adjusted amount
determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations
Council (Councils) as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal
remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such
sanctions and penalties as appropriate.
18.1.2. All contracts in excess of $10,000 must address termination for cause and for convenience by the
non‐Federal entity including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement.

From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director/City Engineer
Date: March 29, 2023
Item: Approve WSB & Associates, Inc. Professional Services Agreement for a PFAS Water Treatment
Feasibility Study
Council Action Requested:
The Council is requested to approve WSB & Associates, Inc. to complete a feasibility study to develop
recommended solutions and estimated costs to address the PFAS and nitrate issues on a long-term basis
in the City of Hastings.
Background Information:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released draft PFAS values lowering them to the
lowest level that can be reliably measured at this time. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH)
provides guidance for our wells and will be revising their PFAS health-based values in 2023. It is
anticipated that the new guidance will result in drinking water advisories for many or all wells in
Hastings. To continue our commitment to providing safe drinking water to our residents, staff
recommends approval of this Feasibility Study to position the City for funding opportunities and further
knowledge of how to best mitigate PFAS and nitrates in our drinking water supply. WSB provides a team
of expertise and modeling competency to complete the work in a reasonable time frame.
Financial Impact:
The estimated total cost to complete this investigation and feasibility study is $37,406. It is our intention
to track all costs related to this study and seek reimbursement if possible.

RE: Proposal for Feasibility Study
Water Supply and Treatment Options for PFAS and Nitrate Removal
City of Hastings, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Stempski,
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this letter proposal to study alternative water supply and
treatment options to address the Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and nitrate that
have been detected in the City’s wells. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has
established a recommended Health Index (HI) guidance limit of 1.0 for six types of PFAS
contaminants that are tested and monitored by MDH. The six types of PFAS include PFBS,
PFBA, PFHxS, PFHxA, PFOS, and PFOA. The recent test results provided by the MDH indicate
that certain City wells are approaching the Health Index guidance limit while other wells have
PFAS levels that have increased over time. In addition to PFAS, the City’s nitrate levels have
increased over time in which certain wells are also approaching the allowed Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) of 10 mg/L.
We recommend completing a feasibility study to develop recommended solutions and estimated
costs to address the PFAS and nitrate issues on a long-term basis. For studying and developing
potential long-term solutions, we will evaluate each of the following proposed water supply and
treatment options and estimate the capital and long-term operational costs for each option.
Option 1 – Blend City wells to dilute the PFAS to below the MDH guidance limit and dilute the
nitrate to below the MCL. This option is not anticipated to be feasible but should be
studied to demonstrate to MDH and MPCA that it was discussed.
Option 2 – Construct deeper Mount Simon-Hinckley wells. This option also is not anticipated to be
feasible but should be studied to demonstrate to MDH and MPCA that it was discussed.
Option 3 – Construct a transmission watermain to purchase treated water from St. Paul Regional
Water Services (SPRWS). This option also is not anticipated to be feasible but should
be studied to demonstrate to MDH and MPCA that it was discussed.
Option 4 – Implement up to four municipal water treatment facilities to treat both PFAS and nitrate
in each of the City’s wells.
Proposed Engineering Services
The feasibility study will include the following tasks:
1. Provide project management and coordination with City Staff.
2. Coordinate and attend up to four (4) meetings with City Staff, including a kick-off meeting,
progress meetings as needed, and a draft review meeting.
VIII-15
Mr. Ryan Stempski, City of Hastings
March 28, 2023
Page 2
3. Discuss possible pumping scenarios for blending the City’s existing wells to dilute and
lower the concentrations of PFAS and nitrate that are currently being detected in each of
the City’s wells.
4. Discuss constructing deeper Mount Simon-Hinckley wells. This task will include having
discussions with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as it relates to using
the Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifer and providing estimated capital and long-term
operational costs.
5. Discuss constructing transmission watermains and purchasing treated water from St.
Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). This task will include confirmation with SPRWS
of the nearest existing trunk watermain.
6. Review and compare proven and effective water treatment technologies for treating
PFAS and nitrate in each of the City’s wells. We will also study potential sites to
construct the water treatment facilities in further detail, complete water distribution system
computer modeling using the City’s existing model to identify the required watermain
improvements, and provide estimated capital and long-term operational costs for
implementing multiple water treatment facilities.
7. Summarize the findings of the feasibility study in a report along with GIS figures and
present the report to City Staff and the City Council if requested.
Proposed Fees
We propose to complete the feasibility study for an hourly, not-to-exceed fee of $37,406 as
summarized below.
Task Estimated
Fee
1. Provide project management and coordination $1,556
2. Meetings $2,220

The estimated hours for each task and individual hourly billing rates are summarized in the
attached spreadsheet for services provided in 2023. We will invoice the City of Hastings based
on the basis of actual hours spent at current billing rates. Additional services, if requested by the
client, will be invoiced on the basis of actual hours spent at current billing rates. All services will
be invoiced monthly.

Proposed Schedule
WSB will complete the tasks detailed above within 10 to 12 weeks of receipt of a written
authorization to proceed.
This proposal represents our total understanding of the project and the proposed scope of
services to complete the Feasibility Study for Water Supply and Treatment Options for PFAS and
Nitrate Removal. This proposal does not include pilot study of treatment technologies, although
that may be the recommended next step to implement treatment. If you are in agreement with
the scope of services, please sign the bottom of this letter and return a copy to WSB. Our receipt
of an executed copy will be WSB’s authorization to proceed. Should the City of Hastings request
additional services outside of the above scope of services, we will work with you to establish a
revised scope and fee. Please contact us at your convenience if you have any questions or
concerns related to this proposal as presented. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and
your staff with the completion of this study.

Date: March 30, 2023
Item: Approve a Resolution Confirming that the City will Enforce Vehicle Noise Laws Along TH 316
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution to enforce vehicle noise laws and pay for MnDOT to install a
sign to that effect along TH 316.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City has received several complaints regarding engine braking noise from vehicles traveling along TH 316 that are
slowing down to navigate the recently installed improvements near City limits. Regulatory signs, such as the “Vehicle
Noise Laws Enforced” sign shall be used to inform road users of selected traffic laws or regulations and indicate the
applicability of the legal requirements. If someone were to exceed the noise limits set by Minnesota Statutes, whether
by not having a muffler or by using an engine brake, it would then be enforceable by law enforcement. Keep in mind,
these Statutes are enforceable with or without a sign.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Once we send the resolution to MnDOT, they will determine the location of the sign and prepare a work order to have
the sign fabricated and installed (when MnDOT crews are available). We anticipate these costs to be $1,500 and fall
within our routine street sign maintenance budget for 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council move forward in adopting the attached resolution to confirm the City will
enforce vehicle noise laws along TH 316, so that a sign to inform vehicles can be installed.

CITY OF HASTINGS
DAKOTA COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 04 - - 23
A RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THAT THE CITY OF HASTINGS WILL ENFORCE
VEHICLE NOISE LAWS ALONG TRUNK HIGHWAY 316
Whereas, Trunk Highway 316 is a major roadway through the City of Hastings, that crosses many
different types of zoning districts, including residential and commercial; and
Whereas, the City Council finds that in order to protect the public health, safety and general welfare
of the community, signs that indicate the City will enforce vehicle noise laws on this highway would be
beneficial to educate and inform the drivers who travel this highway; and
Whereas, “vehicle noise laws enforced” signs are permitted on conventional highways, such as
Trunk Highway 316 with the permission of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT); and
Whereas, MNDOT has evaluated Trunk Highway 316 and determined that there is space to place
such noise enforcement signs along this highway; and
Whereas, prior to installing such noise enforcement signs, MNDOT requires the City Council to
pass a resolution stating it will enforce Minnesota Statute, Section 169.69 (Muffler) and Minnesota Statute,
Section 169.693 (Motor Vehicle Noise Limits); and
Whereas, the City understands that it will be required to pay for the cost of the fabrication and
installation of such vehicle noise enforcement signs.
Now therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Hastings as follows:
1. The City of Hastings, through its Police Department, will enforce Minnesota Statute, Section
169.69 (Muffler) and Minnesota Statute, Section 169.693 (Motor Vehicle Noise Limits) along
Trunk Highway 316; and
2. The City will pay for the cost of the fabrication and installation of such vehicle noise
enforcement signs installed by MNDOT.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director/City Engineer
Date: March 29, 2023
Item: Update on Flood Forecast & Response Planning Steps
Council Action Requested:
No action requested. Council is being provided an update to the flood fighting policy. City forces would
provide sand, sandbags, logistical support, and hauling of filled sandbags to curbside locations, but City
forces will not be used to fill sandbags or to build barriers on private property. After the flood, City
forces will haul away all sandbags that are brought back out to the curb.
Background Information:
City staff monitors the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts for the Mississippi River at Lock and
Dam 2 extremely close during the spring snowmelt. Predictions show that we may be a couple weeks
out from the highest stage potential, at which there is a 50-75% chance of a moderate flood stage (17
feet). Please see the chart below for the NWS projections as of March 20th.
VIII-17
This forecast needs to be qualified – many variables can significantly change the forecast higher or
lower, including how rapidly the snowmelt occurs, how quickly the frost comes out of the ground, and
additional snowfall or rainfall events. Over the next few weeks, the forecast can and will change. It is
also important to note that the NWS’s forecasts do lean conservative, and our observations over the
years are that actual flood stage has ended up being slightly below the forecasted figure made closest to
the crest.
Physical Impact
It would take a flood stage of 22 feet to directly impact approximately 10 homes on the north side of 1st
Street in East Hastings. Many of these homes have not sandbagged in the past when flooding occurred.
Therefore, it would be prudent to continue to monitor the flood projections and reach out to the
impacted properties in advance of potential sandbagging efforts.
There are also a number of public infrastructure impacts that would occur based on the current
forecast, including closure of several segments of City roadways, closure of spaces within Jaycee, Lake
Rebecca, River Flats, and Levee Parks. Attached is a two-page summary covering notable City and
private property locations where impacts may be observed. Also attached, are maps of these locations
and stages.
City Response
As flood levels rise, Public Works, Parks, Police and Fire will coordinate efforts and close roadways, trails
and parks as appropriate. We will monitor river levels and flood forecasts.
City staff has engaged in preliminary discussions with the Branchline Church, which would allow the use
of their facilities (east of the railroad tracks off 2nd Street) to stage equipment and materials for
sandbagging efforts. Members of the church and other volunteer groups would be invited to sandbag
homes where that was requested. As in the past, City staff proposes to support those efforts by
supplying sand, sandbags, and poly sheeting needed to sandbag homes, and to haul sandbags filled by
volunteers to curbside locations where they can be accessed by volunteers to construct barriers on
private property. In addition, flood update and planning meetings will be scheduled, with the frequency
of the meetings dictated by flood forecasts and planning flood fighting needs.
Financial Impact:
The financial impact of flood fighting activities is unknown; dependent on level of flooding experienced
and the demand for sandbags by the aforementioned property owners. We have sandbags, poly, and
pallets on hand already. If flooding becomes severe, there is a good possibility that emergency
declarations could be made and that certain flood response efforts and public infrastructure damage
would be eligible for State and/or Federal reimbursement. We have identified a flooding account
number to track expenses for reimbursement if financial assistance becomes available.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: David D. Wilske, Chief of Police
Date: April 3rd, 2023
Item: Mississippi River No-Wake Zone
Council Action Requested:
None. Informational only
Background Information:
The Mississippi River runs through the City of Hastings and is the boundary between Washington County
and Dakota County. There are approximately 1.2 miles of shoreline that is considered within the
boundary of Hastings that is currently not designated as a no-wake zone. Dakota County Sheriff’s Office
and Washington County Sheriff’s office are not interested in having this stretch of river be a no-wake,
but they are interested in reducing boat traffic to a no-wake during times of flood stage on the
Mississippi River. The Sheriff’s Departments would have to show an erosion issue and/or public safety
issue to request a no-wake. The Sheriff’s Departments have observed erosion issues when the river
levels are high, but not at regular levels and neither department has observed a public safety issue and
therefore will not support a standing no-wake zone for this portion of river.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director/City Engineer
Date: March 29, 2023
Item: Conduct Public Hearing & Consider Resolution to Order Improvements & Adopt Assessments for the
2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to conduct a public hearing, and to consider the enclosed resolution to order the project
and adopt the proposed assessments for City Project 2023-1, the 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure
Improvements. This is a City-initiated project, therefore by MN Statute, a supermajority (six of seven votes) of
the Council must vote in favor of the resolution in order to approve it. The scope and features for this project
were approved by the City Council at the regular meeting on March 6th and the City will be receiving bids for
the project on April 7th.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements contain street and utility improvements to six City streets
ranging in scope of work from reclamation of streets to full street and utility reconstruction. The full scope of the
project was presented to City Council on March 6th, 2023 (please refer to the attached Project Map). The
improvements in all areas will also include storm sewer system extensions, repairs, and replacements to
facilitate drainage of the new streets. A paved trail will be extended along Southview Drive between Pleasant
Drive and Westview Drive. A new multi-use paved trail will also be added along the West side of Pleasant Drive
from 15th Street to the Vermillion River Bridge.
It is important to note that the project was not ordered at the March 6th meeting, as the Council did not have
the ability to provide a supermajority vote due to absences that evening. Therefore, the attached resolution has
been updated to include ordering the project for compliance with MN Statute.
ASSESSMENT POLICY & FINAL PROPOSED RATES
All properties in the project area that are abutting an improved street (with the exception of lots that only have
rear lot frontage) are proposed to be assessed in accordance with the City Ordinance Policy. This policy states
that the assessment rates are based on the estimated special benefit to the assessed properties accruing from
the constructed improvements. A certified property appraiser was hired to determine the estimated special
benefit range for each property type within the proposed project area based on the type of improvement taking
place. The low end of this range was taken and then further reduced to 90% to establish assessment rates for
each lot.
A large percentage of lots within the 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements area are irregularly
shaped, or in other words, they are not rectangular in nature. As a result of this, within the guidelines set forth
by the City Ordinance the assessments levied for this project are on a per-lot basis to ensure equity across all
properties as opposed to a front-footage method.
It is important to note that the special benefits valuation is based on the street and storm sewer improvements
only. The City does not levy special assessments associated with utility improvements, since the cost of those
improvements are funded from sources other than special assessments.
IX-01(a,b)
The standard assessment for single family homes in reconstruction areas is $7,650 and for reclaim areas the
standard assessment is $6,750.
Reconstruction Streets
Pleasant Drive and Old Bridge Lane
Unit Type Assessed Rate
Single Family Home – Standard* $7,650 per Lot
Reclaim Streets
18th Court, Ridgewood Court, Southview Drive, & Southview Place
Unit Type Assessed Rate

*Standard Lots are non-corner lots which front an improved street.
Corner lots are assessed 100% of the rate for a short side fronting an
improved street and 25% for the long side fronting an improved street.
The assessment rates were supported by the Operations Committee and would result in the City collecting
approximately $500,000 to help fund the project. For a copy of the proposed assessments, please refer to the
attached Preliminary Assessment Rolls dated January 13, 2023.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The estimated total project costs are $4,300,000, which includes contingencies, design, inspection, and project
delivery expenses.
