Members of the City Council
City of Saint Paul .
Seventh Floor City Hall
Saint Paul , MN 55102
Dear Councilmembers : �
Some time ago at a City Co c 1 meeting you asked me to provide
you with a legal opinion the requirements of the State of .
Minnesota' s Open Meeting Law. What foTlows is an analysis which
includes both state statute �a d case law, the Saint Paul City
Charter, and the Saint Paul nis�rative Code.
As relates to you, the bas c requirement of Minnesota Statutes
Section 471 . 705 is simply h' s : except for some well defined
exceptions , all of your Ci ouncil meetings and any of your
subcommittee or committee m e ings must be open to the public.
In 3ddition to regularly s h duled City Council and committ�e
or subcommittee meetings , t e term "meeting" includes a meeting
at which at least a quorum r more of the members of the govern-
ing body or a quorum or mo e of the members of a committee or
subcom,-nittee of the governi g body discuss , decide or receive
information as a group on iss e relating to the official business
- of that bcdy. Mober , et a . v. Independent School District
. No. 281 , et al . , 336 N.W. 2d 5 0 (Mn. 1983) .
These circturstances are not e ings: . � , . �
. . .
1 . Chance or sociai gathe i gs at which Councilmembers find
, themselves. However, at t ese gatherings , a quorum or more
. • of the members of �the g verning body or of one of� its �•
committ�es or subcommitt es may not discuss or receive infor-
• mation �n official busine s (Mo_ berg) ; and
.. . . . : �. � � �. � C l'��-��5
� � � . . ,y��-r
Members of the Cify Council

. September 16, 1987
2. Letters or telephone con r ations between fewer than a quorum �
of the members of the g verning body or of one of its
committees or subcommitte s Moberg.
There are two types of ineeti s which may be closed to the public:
� 1 . Meetings of the governi ody of a public employer to con-
sider strategy for labo n gotiations, including negotiation �
strategies or developme ts or discussion or review of labor
negotiation proposals c nd cted pursuant to the provisions �
of Minnesota Statutes S c ion 179A.01 to 179A.25 , Minnesota •
Statutes Section 471 . 705 , S bd. la; and
2. Meetings held to recei e legal advice from the governing
body' s attorney with re a d to threatened or pending liti-
gation. Minneapolis Sta nd Tribune Co. , et al . v. Housing
and Redevelopment Author ' ty in and for the City of Minneapolis ,
251 N.W. 2d 620 (Mn. 1976) .
Until this past legislative se sion, Chapter 471 did not contain
specific notice requirement or meetings. However� this past
session the legislature amen ed Minnesota Statutes Section 471 .705
by adding very specific no ic pr•ocedures. Minnesota Statutes
Section 471 .705, Subd. lc(a) p ovides that a schedule of regular
meetings be kept on file in th primary offices of the governir,g
body. Zf a meeting is to e helci at a different time or place
than a regularly scheduled o e , then notice must be given in
� the same manner as for speci 1 eet:ings.
� � ��. �������►
Notice of �pecial meeting , which . do not include emergericy
meetings or a special meet n for which a notice requirement
is otherwise expressly estab i hed by statute, must te in writing
and set forth the date, .ti , place and purpose of the meeting. ��.
This writing must be:
1 . Posted on the principal b lletin board of the public body;
and .
2. Mailed or otherwise del v red to each person who has filed
a written request with he public body for notice of special
meetings . As an alter at've to mailing or delivering this
notic:e � the public body m y publish it once in the official
• newspaper of the public od .
. . . . . . .� � � ��-�-�,
. � .
����
Members of the City Council

� September 16 , 1987
The posting, mailing, del v ring and publishing must occur at
least three days before h date of the meeting. Minnesota
Statutes Section 471 .705, S b . lc(b) .
The City Charter allows he Council to hold special meetings
anywhere in the City at th c 11 of the President of the Council
or at the written request f t least four Councilmembers. Saint .
Paul Charter Section 4.04, e provisions of Saint Paul Admini-
strative Code Section 15.03 th t allow for only six hours ' advance
notice of special meetings or waiver of notice as to Council-
members have been pre-empt d by the previously noted amendments
to state law. '
The business conducted at a special meeting must be c:onfined
to that stated in the noti e for that meeting. Charter Section
4.04 . This section pre-em t a provision of Saint Paul Admini-
strative Code Section 15.0 w ich would allow the waiyer of such
a prohibition upon a unanim us vote of all Councilmembers.
�l�k�� �t��.'r� ��►�►
mergency meetings are spec a meetings calle because of circum-
stances that, in the ju gm nt of the public body, require
immediate consideration by h t body. Minnesota Statutes Section
471 . 705 , Subd. lc(c) . Eme ge cy meetings have their own. notice
requirements. Members sha 1 e notified by telephone or by any
other . method used to noti y the public body. There must be a
, � good faith effort to prov' de as soon as is practicable' after
. • notice to the members of h public body, notice to ea.ch news
medium that has filed a wri te request for notice if the request
includes th� news medium' s te ephone number. Minnesota 5tatutes �
� Section 471. 705, Subd. lc(c) . �
• The notice must include, th ubject of the meeting. Any m,�tter .
discussed or acted upon at an emergency meeting and not directly '
� related to the emergency s be specifically described in the
ininutes of the meeting. M nnesota Statutes Section 471.705 ,
Subd. lc(c) . Saint Paul Ad i istrative Code Section 15.06 limits
the Council ' s ability to c 11 emergency meetings to those situa-
tions which call for immedia e action to protect the public peace,
health or safety. Becaus ' t is a more restrictive measure,
the Code ' s criteria for ha constitutes an emergency rather
than the statute ' s more ge er 1 definition must be used. Under
the City Charter and Adm ni trative Code, emergency meetings
. �. . � �� , � � �� � � C_ � C �F���.�
� � i���
Members of the City Council
Page Four �
September 16, 1987 �
� are a form of special meet ng and as such may be called by the
President of the Council r upon the written request of four
Councilmembers. Notice to C uncilmembers must be provided by
the City Clerk in writing a east six hours prior to the meeting
except that the unanimous ri ten consent of the Councilmembers .
shall waive such notice. '
� Section 4.04 of the City Cha t r limits the topics to be discussed.
at a special-emergency mee i g to only those specified in the
notice. Again, the more e trictive provision in the Charter
must be followed rather th he statute ' s allowance for discus- �
sion of matters not direct y related to the emergency as long �
as it is so recorded in the � i utes. •
"If a meeting is recessed r a continued session of a previous
meeting and the time and la e of the meeting was established
during the previous meeting a d recorded in the minutes of that
meeting, then no further pub i hed or mailed notice is necessary. "
Minnesota Statutes Section 71 . 705, Subd. lc(d) . The requirement
to post meeting notices shou d still be followed.
The notice requirements o S ction 471 .705, Subd. lc apply to
closed meetings. If a por i n of a regularly scheduled meeting
is to be closed, it must b so noted on the Council agenda.
If the closed meeting is a s ecial , emergency, recessed or con-
tinued one, then the • not ce requirements for that particular
type of ineeting must be: met.
Finally, with regard to n ti e requirements , there are several
more provisions in the Sai t. Paul Administrative Code. Section
� requi'res the Counci resident or the presiding officer
o a commission to notify i s members in writing of the date,
time and place of a meeti g and of topics to be discussed at .
least twenty-four hours • b f re the meeting. The requirement
as to date, time and plac otification has been pre-empted by
the statute. The purpose. a special meeting, whether open
or closed, must be provid d three days before the date of the
meeting. Minnesota Statut s ection 471 .705 , Subd. lc(b) . With
respect to emergency meeti gs Section 15.03 ' s requirements take
precedence over Section 15. 4' .
� 1. . ' � � �

.
Additionally, Chapter A-11 of the Administrative Code contains
. all the notice requirement f the Early Notification System.
You are familiar with these a d they have not been affected by
the recent changes in stat aw so I will not include them in
this analysis.
In addition to notice req i ements , the state ' s Open Meeting •
Law addresses the issue of h availability of written materials
at a meeting. Minnesota St tu es Section 471 .705 , Subd. lb sets
forth this requirement for a 1 open meetings: there must be .
available for inspection by he public " . . .one copy of any printed
materials relating to the a e da �items of the meeting which are
prepared or distributed by r at the direction of the governing
body of its employees and wh'ich are:
(1 ) distributed at the meet n to all members of the governing
body;
(2) distributed before the m et ng to all membei,s; or
(3) available in the meeting ro m to all members. "
This requa_rement does not a ly to rr�aterials used at closed
meetings or materials class fied as something other than public
by the state' s Data Practi es Act or some other statutory pro-
vision unless the protected at is discussed at the open meeting.
The discussed data then be o es public. Itasca County Board
of Commissioners v. Olson, 3 2 .W.2d 804 (Mn. '1985) .
. Minnesota Statutes Section 47 .705 also deals with records of
meetings. Subd. 1 requires t at votes taken on any action must
be .recorded in a journal ep for that purpose. The jour,nal �
' is to be open to the publ c during all normal business hours
of the office at which the jo rnal is kept. Saint Paul Admini-
, strative Code Section 15. 0 equires the rer_ording by written
. • journals, minutes or tape of the actions and discussions •
. occurring at all meetings , w et er open or closed.
With regard to closed meetin s o discuss labor matters (Minnesota
Statutes Section 471 . 705, S b . la) , Minnesota Statuets Section
471 .705 requires that a writ en vote of the Co�.uzcilmembers and all
others present be made avail bl to the public after the closed
meeting. The proceedings mu t e tape recorded. The tapes are to
. ' : : � � C� s

be preserved for two years a ter a contract is signed and to
be made available to the ublic after the contract is signed
by the governing body for th c rrent budget period.
Intentional violation of t e provisions of Minnesota Statutes
Section 471.705, except f r Subd.�� lc in some circumstances, �
carries with it a civil pe al y of a fine of up to $100. The
� judicial determination of a t ird violation results in mandatory
forfeiture of office. Goo aith or lack of harm may not be' . '
used as defenses. Merz v. L ntch, 342 N.W.2d 141 (Mn. 1984) .
No fine or penalty may be as essed � for violation of Minnesota �
Statutes Section 471 .705, u d. lc (the notice requirements) •
unless it is established � th t the violation was wilful and
deliberate.
If you have any questions o c re to further discuss this matter,
please do not hesitate to ca 1 n us.
