Commissioners attending the event had very positive reports on the activities and keynote speaker. It was the consensus of the Commissioner to encourage future Commissions to host tables for the event annually.

Questions for State Demoqrapher's Office Presentation Commissioners discussed what type of information/questions they might have for the State Demographer's Office Representative when they present at the February 23, 2016 meeting. Some thoughts were: • What does diversity in Golden Valley look like? • How can the State Demographer's Office help communities interpret data? • What does the Blue Line mean for Golden Valley? • What are some of the biggest changes Golden Valley might see in the next 10 years? Commissioners were encouraged to consider additional questions and email them to Knauss by February 3, 2016 and she will forward them on to the State Demographer's Office. Golden Vallev Gav Pride Festival Event Update Commissioner Burris reported the Event Committee met on January 7, 2016 at Byerly's with seven people in attendance from varying backgrounds. A second Committee meeting was held on January 26, 2016 with ten people in attendance.

The events will be focused on serving the Golden Valley community and a budget of$5,080 was established.

Knauss explained that the higher the mil, the stronger the magnet to hold papers behind it. She explained that some vendors would not bid on the lower mil options as they would not make them due to the lower quality. Motion by Commissioner Martin, second by Commissioner Ramlet to authorize the purchase of 1,000 magnets of 30 mil from Rapit Printing for the price of$580. Motion carried 5-0.

A Member must not use public money, time, personnel, facilities, or equipment for private gain or politicaf campaign activities except when: a. the use is required or authorized by law b. the use is not greater than that allowed for members of the general public This paragraph does not prohibit correspondence at any time to individual residents in response to the resident's specific inquiries. 6. A Member must not disclose to the public, or use for the private gain of self or others, information that was gained by reason of the official's public position and that is not public data or was discussed at a closed session of the Council. Further, a Member must not disclose information received, discussed, or decided in conference with the City attomey that is protected by the attorney/client privii�ge, unless a majority of the Council has authorized that disclosure. 7.

Council Members are expected to be prepared for Council meetings and Council/Manager meetings by reading agenda packets and requesting further research in advance of the meetings. 10, The Mayor and Council Members direct City staff, contract employees, and consultants only through the City Manager, as established by the requisite majority vote. At Council meetings, #he Council may express concerns and may provide staff specific direction, provided that the direction is the consensus of the Council. The City Manager will reques#further clarification if he/she feels it is required so that there is a clear understanding of what the Council's expectations are in terms of the actiQns to be taken by staff. 11 Members shall conduct themselves in such manners as to obey and adhere to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13D,the Open Meeting Law. 3 12. Members duties shall be performed in accordance with the process and rules of order established by the Council or the City Code. 13. Public resources that are not available to the general public (eg, City staff time, equipm�nt, supplies and/or facilities, etc.)shall nat be used by the Members for private, personal, or politicaf purposes. 14. It is the responsibilityof Council Members to publicly share, with all other Council Members, information they have received from sources outside of the public decision-making process, which pertains to a topic under consideration. Whenever possible, new information or data obtained by Council Members, pertinent to a topic being discussed, will be distributed through the City Manager to other Council Members. IV. Communications As elected officials, Council Members have a responsibility to communicate information to the public. Communicating accurate, timely, and professional information is important to ensuring the quality and credibility of information being provided to the public. Public Record:Communications (electronic or written) involving Members are public records (with a few exceptions as stated by the Minnesota data practices act— www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hrd/pubs/dataprae.pdf). Communications not considered public record may still be public information (ie, email, text messages). Those interested in copies of these items must file a public disclosure request. Requests for private data or information outside of the scope of a Member's role should be routed to the City Manager. Atign With Minnesota Open Meeting Law: Information posted or responded to should be done in alignment with the open meeting law: {www.houseleg.state.mn.us/hrd/pubs/openmtqpdf). Members should generally act with caution when using electronic means to communicate with one another. Members who wish to share information with other Members should do so through the City Manager. Materials relating t4 agenda items for City business (including email) must be provided to the public at the meeting. Email or social media cammunications shared among three or more Members should take place at an open meeting. Example of a violation: A Member posts a comment on a Facebook page about a proposed ordinance. A second Member comments that they agree and a third Member clicks the "like" button. Citizen Questions, Comments, and Concerns: It's important that Members direct citizen questions, comments, and concerns to staff. Doing so ensures requests are routed to the appropriate staff person and holds accountability that proper follow-up is made and the task is completed. In addition, since some requests cover multiple departments the�e may be a request history that will be useful as staff works to resolve the issue. 4 EJectronic Communications: Generally, the Golden Vailey City Council receives agenda materials, background information, and other meeting information via email and/or the list serve. Contact the City Manager if there are questions about these items. Helpful information about electronic communications is available on the League of Minnesota Cities website: www.lmnc.orp/media/document/1/electroniccommunications pdf. Social Media:Since social media is an effective and frequently chosen eommunication tool among the public, the City of Golden Valley has its own official social media pages. Helpful information about social media is available on the League of Minnesota Cities website: www.lmc.orq/media/document/1/socialmediaandcities pdf. Communication Tips for Email and Socia/Media Public Perception: Members are public officials representing the City of Golden Valley and its policies and perspectives. O�cia/ Versus Individual Perspectives: Since the public connects City officials to the City of Golden Valley, iYs important to clarify official perspectives from individual perspectives. Public informafion:Any published content, written or electronic (email, for example), may be considered public information or considered covered under the Minnesota data practices act. Informal messages not related to a public officiaPs role, such as meeting notices, reminders, telephone messages, and informal notes, are not public record. Large Outreach: Information posted on social media is public and is online for a long time. Both email and social media posts can be quickly shared with other audiences, making it important to post professianal messages and avoid political comments. Discoverabi�ity: Generally, email is removed from the system every three years. Email is discoverable in litigation, making it important to use it cautiously. When seeking legal advice or to discuss matters of pending litigation or other"confidential" City business, ensure emails are sent to only those intended because the attorney-client privilege protecting the document from disclosure may be waived. Media Relations-Media lnquiries: Members are strongly encouraged to refer all media inquiries to the City Manager prior to Council discussion and vote on an item. After a vote has been taken, individual Members may comment on their decision. It's understood that individual Member decisions may not be reflective of the Council's majority vote. Following these guidelines is important to the democratic process because it helps avoid creating the public perception that a vote or decision has been made on a topic. That perception may disc�urage the public from engaging in the democratic process. 5 City Manager's Ro/e: The City Manager communicates on the City's behalf in interviews, publications, news releases, on social media sites, and related communications. The City Manager is in the best position to provide a response because many issues involve multiple departments or work may already be in progress. Many times, the Assistant City Manager or a department director will handle interviews and communications on behalf of the City Manager. When the media calls about: 1. Upcoming agenda items, issues, or discussion topics; Wait to provide information until the topic is voted on. This communicates that a decision has not been made and allows the public process to work by keeping the topic open for citizen input. If a Member discusses the issue with media before a decision is made, there is potential that the public may be confused about the Council's direction. This may create a public perception that a vote or decision has been made on a topic and discourage the public from engaging in the democratic process. 2. Routine or public information (ie, a meeting time or agenda): Provide media with the information and notify City Manager. 3. Other information: About potential litigation, controversial issues, an opinion about a City matter, or if unsure vfi the type of question, iYs strongly recommended to work with the City Manager on these topics. The City Manager typically works with staff on these issues and can present the discussion scope or topic. V. Identifvinq and Addressinp Conflicts of Interest So that citizens may have the utmost confidence and trust in the integrity of their City government, and to protect the City's interest and its citizen's interests, Members must disclose and avoid conflicts of interest that arise in performing their official duties. To this end, the below principles provide Members guidance for identifying, addressing, and disclosing conflicts of interest.This guidance supplements, not supplants, the responsibilities Members have under law with regard to conflicts of interest. Members should consult with the City Manager and/or City attorney with questions or concerns they may have regarding conflicts of interest (whether the conflicts are real or perceived, potential or in existence), and not participate in or take any official action on a matter until such questions or concerns are resolved with the City Manager and/or City attorney. 1. ldentifying Lega/Conflicts of lnterest. A "legal conflict of interest" exists when, in the discharge of official duties, a Member participates in a governmental decision, action or transaction that: a. affects the person's financial interests or those of a business with which the persan is associated, unless the effect on the person or business is no greater than on other members of the same business classification, profession, or occupation b. affects the financial interests of an organization in which the person participates as a member of the governing body, unless the person serves in that capacity as the City's representative 6 2. Identifying Financial/nterests. A financial interest is any interest, including loans, which may yield, directly or indirectly, a monetary or other mate�al benefit to the Member{other#han monetary or material benefits authorized by the City in accordance with law). A financial interest of a Member or Member's employer (other than the City), his or her associated business, or his or her spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling or child, and their employers or associated businesses shali also be considered a financial interest of the Member. The following assets shall not be considered a financial interest for purposes of this section. a. ownership of shares in a diversified mutual fund b. membership in a pension plan or employee benef'rt plan c. ownership of bonds or publicly traded s�curities d. ownership of a whole life insurance policy 3. Addressing Lega1 Conflicts of/nferest a. When a legal conflict of interest exists, except as permitted by law, a Member must disclose the potential conflict of interest for the public record, in the manner described in Section VI below, and refrain from participating in the discussion and from voting on the matter. To participate or participation, for the purposes of this document, means making the decision, taking action, entering into a transaction, providing advice or a recommendation, introducing, spansoring, debating, voting on, approving, and investigating the decision, action, or transaction. b. A Member shall not participate in making, or attempt to use his or her position to influence, any City governmental decision, action, or transaction in which the Member knows or has reason to know that he or she has a legal conflict of interest. 4. Non-Legal Conflicts of lnterest a. Members may face situations in performing their official duties that raise, or are perceived to raise, a conflict of interest but which do not fall within the above description of a legal conflict of interest and are otherwise not a conflict of interest regulated by law. These types of conflicts are referred to, for purposes of this document, as "non-legal conflicts of interest." b. While non-legal conflicts of interest may be different in nature or degree from a legal conflict of interest and other conflicts of interest regulated by law, they can nevertheless impair, or give the appearance of impairing, a Member's independence vf judgement andJor harm the City's interests and the interests of the citizens. c. The significance of non-legal conflicts of interest often depends an the facts and circumstances involved in each situation, and thus it is difficult to establish bright-line rules regarding when such conflicts must be disclosed and necessitate a Member to refrain from participating in a matter. Therefore, Members are entrusted to use their best judgement regarding such situ�tions with the aim of upholding the principles established under this document and the highest possible standards of ethical conduct, and with the understanding that public disclosure of non-legal conflicts of interest, by itself, helps maintain 7 citizens' trust and confidence in the integrity of City government. d. To this end, if a Member recognizes that his or her participation may create a non-legal conflict of interest, he or she should (i) discuss the matter in advance (to the extent possible) and in confidence with the City Manager andlor City attarney regarding the appropriate action to take; and/or (ii) disclose the conflict in accordance with Section VI below and, if necessary, refrain from participating in the matter. e. Without limiting the foregoing, a Member may participate in a City governmental decision, action, or transaction involving an organization or entity that the Member, or his or he�pertner, spouse, partner, domestic partner, sibling, or child is an officer, director, board member, or trustee of, if the Member does not have a legal conflict of interest in the governmental decision, action, or transaction. However, the Member must disclose his or her affiliation with the organization or entity as though it were a legal conflict of interest, in the manner described in 5ection VI below. f. Similarly, a Member may participate in a City governmental decision involving a person related by family to the Member, other than his or her parent, spouse, domestic partner, sibling, or child, if the Member does not have a legal conflict of interest in the governmental decision, action, or transaction. However, the Member must disclose his or her relationship with the related person as though it were a legal confilict of interest, in the manner described in Section VI below. VI. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest If a Member, in the discharge of his or her official duties, recognizes that his or her participation in a matter would create a legal conflict of interest, or a non-legal conflict of interest that should or must be disclosed, the Member shall disclose the canflict of interest as follows: 1. The Member shall disclose the conflict of interest to the City Manager and his or her fellow Members as soon as he or she becomes aware of the conflict. If a Member becomes aware of a conflict during a meeting of the Council or a committee or board, the Member shall immediately disclose the conflict of interest orally. 2. In the case of a legal conflict of interest, a Member must also prepare, on a form prescribed by the City Clerk, a written statement describing the matter requiring action or decision and the nature of his or her conflict of interest, or as otherwise required by law. In the case of a Council Member, the written statement shall be distributed to the other Council Members and Mayor and filed with the City Clerk. Likewise, in the case of a Member of a board or commission, the written statement shall be distributed to the other Members of the board or commission and filed with the City Clerk. After the first time the Member has orally disclosed a conflict of interest and filed the disclosure form, the Member may subsequently oratly disclose a conflict by referring to the filed form. Because Members may not attend all meetings, oral disclosure may consist of the written statement being read into the record by the presiding Member at the first regular meeting after the 8 form has been filed. All written statements shall be filed and distributed within one (1) week after the Member becomes aware of the legal conflict of interest. In the case of non-legal conflicts of interest that a Member discloses, the Member may file a written statement regarding the conflict. 3. If a Member does not participate in any discussion or vote on a matter due to a conflict of interest, he or she shall be counted present for the purposes of establishing a quorum to carry on the business of the Council, board, or commission, but shall be considered disqualified for the purpose of establishing the number of votes necessary to pass motions or resolutions. VII. Hearinq Any person may file a written complaint with the City Clerk questioning a Member's adherence to the principles stated in Section III through VI above. The Council may hold a public hearing, unless state law provides otherwise, after reviewing the complaint or on the Council's own volition. A hearing must be held only if: (1)the City attorney, designee or other attorney appointed by the Council, advises the Council that the atlegations state a legally-recognized vialation of the law or a legally- recognized conflict of interest; and (2)the City attomey, designee or other attorney appointed by the Council advises the Council that the complaint has been lodged in good faith and not for impermissible purposes. Prior to the hearing, a letter will be sent to the alleged offending Member stating the alleged complaint. At the hearing, the accused Member must have the opportunity to be heard. If after the hearing, the Council finds a violation of the principles stated in Section 111 through VI above, the Council may take whatever action it deems appropriate, including referring the matter for criminal prosecution, imposing a monetary civil penalty, directing a Member not to participate in a decision, censure, or removing an appointed Member from office. If the accused Member is a Member ofi the Council, that Member affected must not participate in the decision. VIII.
