The Minnesota Department of Administration’s Office of Grants Management Policy on Grant Closeout Evaluation (Policy 08-13), requires the Board to consider a grant applicant’s past performance before awarding subsequent grants to them. The Board must consider a grant applicant’s performance on prior grants before making a new grant award of over $5,000. The Board may withhold payment on this and grants from other programs if the Grantee is not in compliance with all Board reporting requirements. Grantees have the flexibility of determining the amount of grant and required match of these three Programs, to allocate to each of their programs locally. This is to provide needed spending flexibility for yearly fluctuations in workload and program activity in counties and SWCDs.
6 Assignment, Amendments, and Waiver
6.1 Assignment. The Grantee may neither assign nor transfer any rights or obligations under this Grant Agreement without the prior consent of the State and a fully executed Assignment Agreement, executed and approved by the same parties who executed and approved this Grant Agreement, or their successors in office.
6.2 Amendments. Any amendment to this Grant Agreement must be in writing and will not be effective until it has been executed and approved by the same parties who executed and approved the original Grant Agreement, or their successors in office.
6.3 Waiver. If the State fails to enforce any provision of this Grant Agreement, that failure does not waive the provision or its right to enforce it.
7 Liability
The Grantee must indemnify, save, and hold the State, its agents, and employees harmless from any claims or causes of action, including attorney’s fees incurred by the State, arising from the performance of this Grant Agreement by the Grantee or the Grantee’s agents or employees. This clause will not be construed to bar any legal remedies the Grantee may have for the State's failure to fulfill its obligations under this Grant Agreement.
8 State Audits
Under Minnesota Statutes 16B.98, subd. 8, the Grantee’s books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the Grantee or other party relevant to this Grant Agreement or transaction are subject to examination by the State and/or the State Auditor or Legislative Auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of six years from the end of this Grant 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. 8.1 The books, records, documents, accounting procedures and practices of the Grantee and its designated local units of
government and contractors relevant to the NRBG, and match and grant expenditures, may be examined at any time by the Board or Board's designee and are subject to verification. The Grantee or delegated local unit of government will maintain records relating to the receipt and expenditure of grant and match funds.
8.2 The Grantee or designated local unit of government implementing this Grant Agreement will provide for an audit that meets the standards of the Office of State Auditor. The audit must cover the duration of the Agreement Period and be performed within one year after the end of the Agreement Period or when routinely audited, whichever occurs first. Copies of the audit report must be provided to the Board if requested.
9 Government Data Practices
The Grantee and State must comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statute Chapter 13, as it applies to all data provided by the State under this grant agreement, and as it applies to all data created, collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the Grantee under this Grant Agreement. The civil remedies of Minnesota Statute 13.08 apply to the release of the data referred to in this clause by either the Grantee or the State. If the Grantee receives a request to release the data referred to in this Clause, the Grantee must immediately notify the State.
10 Workers’ Compensation The Grantee certifies that it is in compliance with Minnesota Statute 176.181, subd. 2, pertaining to workers’ compensation
insurance coverage. The Grantee’s employees and agents will not be considered State 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 the State’s obligation or responsibility.
11 Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue
Minnesota law, without regard to its choice-of-law provisions, governs this Grant Agreement. Venue for all legal proceedings out of this grant contract, or its breach, must be in the appropriate state or federal court with competent jurisdiction in

Under Minnesota Statute 270C.65, subd. 3, and other applicable law, the Grantee consents to disclosure of its social security number, federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax identification number, already provided to the State, 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 Grantee to file state tax returns and pay delinquent state tax liabilities, if any.
14 Prevailing Wage It is the responsibility of the Grantee or contractor to pay prevailing wages on construction projects to which state prevailing wage laws apply (Minnesota Statute 177.42 – 177.44).

15 Intellectual Property Rights
The State owns all rights, title, and interest in all of the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and service marks in the Works and Documents created and paid for under this grant. Works means all inventions, improvements, discoveries (whether or not patentable), databases, computer programs, reports, notes, studies, photographs, negatives, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, tapes, and disks conceived, reduced to practice, created or originated by the Grantee, its employees, agents, and subcontractors, either individually or jointly with others in the performance of this grant. Works includes "Documents." Documents are the originals of any databases, computer programs, reports, notes, studies, photographs, negatives, designs, drawings, specifications, materials, tapes, disks, or other materials, whether in tangible or electronic forms, prepared by the Grantee, its employees, agents, or subcontractors, in the performance of this grant. The Documents will be the exclusive property of the State and all such Documents must be immediately returned to the State by the Grantee upon completion or cancellation of this grant at the State’s request. To the extent possible, those Works eligible for copyright protection under the United States Copyright Act will be deemed to be "works made for hire." The Grantee assigns all right, title, and interest it may have in the Works and the Documents to the State. The Grantee must, at the request of the State, execute all papers and perform all other acts necessary to transfer or record the State's ownership interest in the Works and Documents.

The County on behalf of the State of Minnesota hereby grants to Licensee and his
authorized agents a revocable license to enter upon the subject property for the purpose of crossing it in order to remove timber on his adjoining property to the nearest adjacent public right of way. Licensee's rights to enter are limited to those portions of the subject property which are reasonably necessary for this purpose and Licensee shall remain not less than 10 feet from any improvements on the subject property in the course of timber removal in order to minimize the potential for property damage.
2. The Licensee is responsible for any damage arising from the activity of the Licensee
or his authorized agents on said lands in the exercise of the rights granted by this license, and shall promptly repair such damages, or in lieu thereof and at the option of the County, shall make an appropriate settlement with the County.

PLANNING ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF ROCHESTER AND COUNTY OF OLMSTED
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this day of , by and between the CITY OF ROCHESTER, hereinafter referred to as the "City" and the COUNTY OF OLMSTED, hereinafter referred to as the "County".
Witnesseth:
Whereas, the City and County have authority within their respective jurisdictions to plan for and regulate the use and physical development of property by public and private interests, and
Whereas, the City and County have exercised such authority and intend to continue to do so by the preparation and periodic revision of development plans and by the enactment and enforcement of ordinances, rules and regulations implementing such plans, and
Whereas, prior to January 1, 1975, there had been organized in the City and County separate administrative departments responsible for providing planning services to the respective governmental units, and
Whereas, the City and County determined that separate planning departments result in unnecessary duplication of staff and tended to impede administrative cooperation in the preparation and administration of development plans, and
Whereas, the City and County entered into an agreement on December 16, 1974, to eliminate such duplication of staff and to encourage administrative cooperation in planning matters by organizing one department under the County to serve as the planning staff for both the City and County; and
Whereas, the Consolidated Planning Department created by the Planning Administrative Services Agreement entered into on December 16, 1974, has functioned as intended, creating a geographically integrated planning system that has coordinated the development of plans and plan implementation measures between the City and the County; and
Whereas, the department created under that agreement is now involved in a broad range of planning and planning-related activities, necessitating a clarification of the role of the said department through a revision of the original agreement forming the department;
Now, therefore, it is mutually agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1. This agreement is entered into under the authority of Minnesota Statutes 471.59, as amended. 2. The County agrees to maintain a department to be known as the Rochester-Olmsted Planning Department (hereinafter referred to as "the Department"). 3.

BACKGROUND: On October 20th, the Sheriff provided the County Board with information related to the needed upgrade of the radio system utilized by staff working within Olmsted County as well as emergency responders throughout the County. By upgrading the current system, Olmsted County will then be consistent and on the same IP internet protocol with the rest of the state to ensure interoperability for public safety within our county, region and state. The total cost to Olmsted County and the City of Rochester is $623,303 with a payback of $124,606 annually over 5 years. That cost split between Olmsted County and the City of Rochester is $62,303 to each entity. This annual cost will cover the upgrade and the maintenance fees for 5 years. Currently Olmsted County and the City share in annual maintenance costs of about $24,000 paid to the State. For the next 5 years, starting in 2016, Olmsted County will annually pay $124,606 and be reimbursed by the City for $62,303. The $24,000 annual State maintenance costs will no longer be paid.
COUNTY BOARD ACTION REQUESTED: Request approval of a Resolution and to enter into a contract with the State of MN for a 5 year pay back totaling $623,030 for the upgrade of the ARMER system. Cost will be split 50/50 with the City of Rochester by increasing our maintenance budget through contingency funds each year from 2016 through 2020 by $101,000 and increasing our offsetting revenue from the City of Rochester by $50,500.

7.19 Upgrade Motorola's New Proposal SUA2Plus
Dear Sheriff Torgerson,
The State Emergency Communication Board (SECB) conducted a strategic planning
session last fall and it was determined that the statewide radio system—ARMER, is a
substantial investment that for the foreseeable future should be kept up to date and
upgraded on a regular basis. As such, it was decided to request of the legislature the
spending authority to pay for the states' portion of the 7.19 hardware costs to upgrade
as well as a 50% matching grant for the local entities costs to upgrade. This legislative
budget initiative was approved and the SECB was moving forward to set up the grants
and renew the contract with Motorola for a five year software upgrade package that
includes 7.15 and 7.19.
Recently Motorola has proposed an offer they are referring to as SUA2Plus to the SECB
that substantially reduces the cost to both the state and the local entities if we enter
into a five year agreement. This is approximately a 20% decrease for software upgrades
(which benefits everyone in the state), the 7.19 hardware, and the technical services of
Motorola to perform this migration for local entities.
This offer is conditional upon:
1) MNDOT entering into a contract with Motorola for the state and the local portion of
the hardware costs of 7.19 and SUA2 software upgrade.
2) MNDOT enter into a five year contract by December 31, 2015.
3) MNDOT will be required to charge local entities back for the hardware and the
software once a year over five years.
This offer will require that all affected 7.19 entities be able and willing to move forward
with this proposal. This is a serious consideration for those affected agencies that had

Introduction
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office Senior Command for Law Enforcement Services is
presenting to you a budget proposal for Body Worn Cameras known as BWC’s. This is for the
fiscal year 2016 thru 2020. In order to ease the financial burden placed upon the taxpayers of
Olmsted County, we have chosen a 5 year plan with a reputable, national vendor, Taser
International. The purpose of this written budget proposal is to inform you, the best we can, as to
why we feel the purchase of BWC’s is necessary and needed.
History
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office has long held that video showing the interactions of law
enforcement with the public is extremely beneficial. This is evidenced through our investment in
our mobile video recorders that are currently placed in almost all of our marked squad cars. The
benefits of video include capturing a crime or violation as they occur, documenting statements
made by suspects, victims, and witnesses, in addition to providing increased documentation that
result in the reduction of citizen complaints against deputies. We have also learned the enhanced
benefits of evidence collection through the video documentation of crimes scenes by our
Investigations Division. Video along with the captured audio does not lie, but nor does it tell the
entire story.
Recent national events have pushed the issue of law enforcement BWC’s to the forefront of
modern day policing. Events in Missouri, South Carolina, and Maryland have changed the nature
of policing and reduced the public’s trust in law enforcement. While the Olmsted County Sheriff’s
Office feels our relationship with the public is very strong; we also feel the need to increase that
trust. Having our personnel wearing BWC’s showing how we interact with our citizens is a step to
enhancing our current level of trust.
Vendor Selection
As of the writing of this proposal, the market is flooded with vendors selling BWC’s making the
choice difficult to reduce. However, when purchasing a BWC we must strongly consider the end
user of the video, the criminal justice system. The Sheriff’s Office needed a vendor that has a
strong reputation, affordable pricing with flexibility in payments options, as well as a strong
infrastructure that is secure and navigable. The aforementioned criteria limited our selection
process to the two largest national vendors for BWC’s: Taser International and Vievu. When
considering the end user, namely the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office we selected Taser
International as our vendor.
Taser International provides high quality BWC’s but they also provide a very strong infrastructure
for use in criminal prosecutions as well as civil liability issues. That infrastructure is known as
Evidence.com.

Evidence.com provides a Cloud platform to save all video/audio recorded from the BWC’s. The
Cloud format reduces cost and time from our ITS Department as it is fully supported by Taser
International. Evidence.com allows the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office to access the needed
video/audio for criminal and civil proceedings in a web based format. Simply stated, when a video
needs to be played in a court proceeding, the attorney in the court room can log into
Evidence.com and play the saved recording for the Judge and jury.
In consulting with the Rochester Police Department, we have learned that Taser International will
most likely be their vendor for BWC’s. The Rochester Police Department will also be investing in
Evidence.com making it one platform to use for the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office and the
City of Rochester’s Attorney’s Office. By using one vendor for both law enforcement agencies in
Olmsted County we are streamlining our video/audio recordings, their retention periods, and
making the use of the video/audio recordings much easier to use in court proceedings.
Known Costs of BWC’s
Taser International currently has 5 contract options available for the purchase of BWC’s. They
range in price, over a 5 year period, from $148,000 to $469,000. The Sheriff’s Office selected
Option 5 which is a Tiered Program with Warranty Options. The total cost of the BWC’s, over a
5 year period, is $219,393.29. Option 5 allows the Sheriff’s Office flexibility in payments over the
5 year contract life time. Year 1 is the most expensive as it includes the purchase of the BWC’s
and their required download equipment at $84,330.15. The remaining 4 years of the contract are a
static price of $33,682.50 which covers license fees and additional video/audio storage options.
Please see the included price quote from Taser International. Please keep in mind these contract
prices are valid until December 31st
, 2015.
Unknown Costs of BWC’s
While we have known fixed costs of BWC’s, there are still unknown costs to implementation and
use for Olmsted County. Those unknown costs lie in the potential requests for video/audio from
the public. If/when we begin using BWC’s; we may run into data requests for the video/audio.
However the number of requests will be difficult to gauge. In order to be compliant with the
current Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA Chapter 13), we will need to review,
redact, or limit what can be released. This will take time from staff that we simply do not have.
Therefore, the Sheriff’s Office is asking that you be prepared for a request for a 1.0 FTE to handle
public requests for BWC video/audio. For the FY 2016, we believe we can manage the requests
through current staff supplemented by our current Records Division staff which is shared with the
Rochester Police Department. At this time this is a wait and see venture, but one that we wanted
to enlighten you on sooner rather than later.

To be adequately prepared and plan ahead, if we are in need of a staff person to handle public
requests for we would be asking for a 1.0 FTE with the new classification of Mobile Video
Recorder Administrator (MVR Administrator). The MVR Administrator would be responsible
for handling all public data requests as they relate to video and audio. This would also include our
current mobile video recorders that are currently installed in our squad cars. The MVR
Administrator would be certified and trained in the use, administration, inventory/tracking, and
maintenance of the BWC system. As an example, the Rochester Police Department is requesting
one additional Records staff in 2016 and another in 2017 to handle the anticipated increase for
public requests related to BWC’s. In using the pay scale provided by the Rochester Police
Department, as an example, the per year cost for an MVR Administrator is approximately
$82,330.00 (please see the attached document created by the Olmsted County Finance
Department).
Privacy Issues
We cannot discuss the idea of implementing a BWC program without discussing the issue of the
public’s privacy when they are captured on video/audio in a difficult situation. In 2015 the
Minnesota Legislature failed to address the issues of BWC for law enforcement during their
regular session. This should not be a reason for us not to move forward on this issue. The current
draft policy of the Sheriff’s Office allows our deputies discretion when to stop the BWC. While
we understand the importance of capturing everything our deputies do, we simply cannot record
every interaction with the public. People in compromising positions where there is no criminal
activity afoot, should not be recorded. We must and will train our staff to recognize these
situations and allow them the flexibility to turn off the BWC.
We must also be ready to stand firm on the public’s right to privacy. Not all persons that make
requests for BWC footage should be allowed to access or retain it. This presents a myriad of
additional issues that will need to be discussed in depth with the Olmsted County Attorney’s
Office. The Sheriff’s Office feels that requests for BWC footage should be diligently reviewed, fit
under current Minnesota statute, and not present a privacy issue for those that have been recorded.
Conclusion
The use of BWC’s by law enforcement is not a passing trend nor should it be considered the cure
all for current issues that are present in the community. The media, public, and federal
government are the driving forces behind the use of BWC’s. While we understand the financial
investment being made by Olmsted County in the use of BWC’s, we feel that the time is now to
act. The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office must continue to enhance our relationship with our
citizens. The purchase and use of BWC’s will allow the public to see what actually transpires in
our contacts with the public. We also aspire to do the best we can and we feel this is the
appropriate time to show the public what we do on a daily basis.
