Date: January 9, 1980
The City Attorney's office has informed me in response
to a request by the City Development and Transportation
Committee that there is no legal reason for further
consideration of the resolution indemnifying city officials
and employees named as defendants in the case entitled
Planned Parenthood of Minnesota vs. the City of St. Paul .
Accordingly, I would appreciate having this matter
remo�ed from the listing of Matters Referred to Committee.

Dear Councilman Levine:
Your letter of December 26, 1979 regarding the Planned Parenthood
lawsuit has been referred to me for response.
You have inquired as to whether there is need for further consider-
ation of a resolution indemnifying certain City officials and
employees named as defendants in the Planned Parenthood suit. This
ma.tter is now in the City Development and Transportation Committee.
Please be advised that the suit titled Planned Parenthood of
Minnesota, Inc. vs. City of St. Paul has been dismissed. It
appears all matters, including payment of attorney fees, have
been resolved. Therefore, there is no legal reason for further
consideration of the resolution previously referred to the City
Development and Transportation Committee.
Yours very truly,
� G�� O��GwZ-�

WHEREAS, all actions taken by city officials and employees relative to
Resolution No. 267324 and the lawsuit involved therein were taken with the purpose
of serving what was thought to be the best interest of the City of St. Paul and
its citizens;
WHEREAS the Council does hereby find that it is fitting and proper for the
City of St. Paul to indemnify the defendants for any judgment which may be rendered
against said defendants in said lawsuit since to do otherwise would create an
atmosphere of fear and anxiety within the minds of the city officials while acting
in their official capacity in passing upon unique matters, such as in this
case, involving great controversy and public disagreement;
WHEREAS the Council finds that to not indemnify said city officials would
result in inaction on many important and controversial matters since the city
officials would be in constant fear of personal liability if they fail to
exercise their duties in what they believe to be the best interests of the
City and its citizens.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL:
THAT pursuant to authority granted by law the City of St. Paul does
hereby agree to indemnify and pay any judgments of any sort, including an
award of compensatory or punitive damages and attorney's fees, costs and dis-
bursements which may be entered against any and all of the city officials and
employees named as defendants in the case entitled Planned Parenthood of Minnesota,
Inc. vs. City of St. Paul , et al , Civil File No. 3-76-230.

The Honorable George Latimer
Mayor of the City of Saint Paul
347 City Hall & Courthouse
. Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Mayor Latimer:
At your request, we have reviewed the attached draft resolution
relating to the indemnif ication of the defendants in the Planned
Parenthood case.
"There are a number of legal questions raised by this resolution,
which we und�erstand will be presented to the Council on Thursday,
June 1, 1978. The f irst question is whether there is authority
to pass such a resolution, and what standards should be applied
by the Council in determining whether to. pass it. The second
question is whether the Council is foreclosed by reason of per-
sonal f inancial interest trom considering this particular reso-
lution.
At the outset, we should make clear that at the present time,
with respect to all ma.tters pertaining to the Planned Parenthood
litigation, the Office of the City Attorney does not represent
the four Council members whose names appear on the proposed
resolution. Since those persons are represented by counsel of
�heir own choosing, we �nu.st restrict our advice and interpre-
tations to those defendants we do in fact represent. (Whether,
after the litigation is concluded, we could at that time advise
all Council members as to the indemnification questions, would
probably depend on the outcome of the case and any judgments
or orders in effect at the time. )
However, that having been said, our advice in this letter reflects
the state of the law as we see it, and not an argument or po-
sition taken by an advocate as part and parcel of the litigation.
.�.. � .

First, there appears to be clear authority for the City to
"defend, save harmless, and indemnify any of its officers and
employees, whether elective or appointive, against any tort claim
or demand, whether groundless or otherwise, arising out of an
alleged act or omission occurring in the performance of duty."
Minn. Stat. � 466.07, Subd. 1. We have attached a copy of the
�Dou �las case, as you requested, which decision dealt with a
somew�iat similar indemnification statute for police officers.
" Dou las v. Cit of Minnea olis, 304 Minn. 259, 230 N.W.2d 577
. See Minn. tat. 1.45 . ) We believe that case,
and the standards it sets for municipal determinations on in-
demnification cases, would be applicable here.
Without going into a detailed analysis of the Dou las case, the
Council must determine that indemnification is in t e best in-
_ terests of the inunicipali.ty and the gublic based on all the
facts and circumstances of the case. The Council may consider
such factors as whether the officials acted in good faith; whether
. the morale of other similarly situated employees inight be sig-
nificantly affected by its action or inaction; and any other
factors which would be reasonabZy relevant and helpful.
However, indemnification could not be granted if the actions
of the of�i�ials involved were not in the performance of duty;
if such actions constituted ma.lfeasance in office; or if such
actions constituted wilful or wanton neglect of duty.
The second question is whether the Council is foreclosed by
reason of personal financial interest from considering the reso-
lution in its current form. We believe that the Council is
prohibited from consideration of the proposed resolution by
reason of that interest.
Ordinance No. 16391, passed by the Council January 19, 1978,
and approved by the Mayor on January 20, 1978, provides tha�
no public official (which by definition includes councii members)
shall vote on or participate in discussing any action or decision
in which the official has a conflict of interest. Conflict of
interest is def ined as any action or decision "substantially
affecting financial interests." "Financial interest" is any
interest which shall yield directly or indirectly a monetary
or other material benef it.
The only practical way th is issue can be brough� before the
Council, given that ordinance, is for the presentation and con-
sideration of separate resolutions for each council member,
. . �
Mayor Latimer
Page Three
May 31, 1978 .
from which consideration such council member can and must ab-
stain and follow the other procedures set forth in Ordinance
No. 16391. However, it is also our view that each such resolu-
tion would create a conflict of interest for the other affected
council members, urrless langua�e were added to each such reso-
lution that the "save harmless protection a�plied only to the
proportionate or pro rata share of attorneys fees or damages
which that particular defendant would have to pay if awarded.
Otherwise, it would be potentially in the benefit of a voting
' council member to award full inder�mity to one other member
(who would then, of course, be executed against by the plaintiffs
to the exclusion of the others) .
As the resolution stands now, we would have to advise those
Council members who are our clients in the Planned Paren�hood
litigation, who are exposed to possible damage or fee awards,
. that they should refrain from voting on it on the basis of
conflict of, interest on their part.
Under Ordinance No. 16391, you as Mayor are also a public
official by definition. As such you are required to refrain
from participating in a decision as to which you have a conflict
of interest. As a defendant who is exposed to possible dama.ge
and attorneys ' fees award you would not be able to approve the
resolution as it stands now.
We do not here express an opinion as to whether it would be per-
missible to take no action an this or any set of individual
resolutions, and �hus let them become effective without your
signature. We do advise you that this particular resolution,
should it be adopted by the Council, is legally defective and
would be appropriate for the exercise of the veto power.
A properly drafted resolution for each Council member could
be lawful, depending upon all the facts and circumstances.
If individual resolutions are prepared, all Council members
should avoid discussions outside the open meetings of the Council,
and should avoid making agreements which would create the possi-
bility of conflict of interest in violation of the ordinance.

Dear Council President Hozza and Members of City Council :
I am returning Council Resolution #272208 to you with my disapproval and veto.
This is not a simple or easy conclusion either for you or for me. As you know,
I have an absolute commitment to veto any Council action which is illegal or
unconstitutional . However, in fairness to the parties and the Council , this
resolution does not easily fit into those categories. Our legal advice is that
the action contemplated in the R•esolution, though open to suit, is defensible
and based upon some legal grounds.
The Court's finding of joint and several liability on the part of the City and
other parties means that, in fact, even without the Council action, Planned
Parenthood may move against the City for full payment of the attorney's fees
awarded by the Court. If that occurs, the City would retain its right to proceed
against the other defendents for contribution.
By the Resoluti.on, however, the City ►vould waive its right to obtain that contri-
bution. The issue then raised is whether the waiver constitutes a gratuity to
the intervening parties. I do not presume to anticipate the legal resolution of
that issue. The following are the facts at hand:
1 . Planned Parenthood sued to enjoin the City from enactYng a moratorium on the
establishment of its facility in Highland Park.
2. The City and the intervenors, including Citizens for Community Action (CCA) ,
lost the case before the District Court in that the City was enjoined by the
Court from enacting the moratorium.
3. The City then refused to appeal the Court injunction (by virtue of the City
Council 's failure to over-ride my veto of August 16, 1976).
4. Th.e intervenors then chose to independently proceed with their petition for
intervention and to continue to litigate major issues resulting in substantial
expenditures of time and legal fees. Fo1lowing the appeal and intervention,

Dear Council President Hozza and Members of City Council :
I am returning Council Resolution #272208 to you with my disapproval and veto.
This is not a simple or easy conclusion either for you or for me. As you know,
I have an absolute commitment to veto any Council action which is illegal or
unconstitutional . However, in fairness to the parties and the Council , this
resolution does not easily fit into those categories. Our legal advice is that
the action contemplated in the R�esolution, though open to suit, is defensible
and based upon some legal grounds.
The Court's finding of joint and several liability on the part of the City and
other parties means that, in fact, even without the Council action, Planned
Parenthood may move against the City for full payment of the attorney s ees
arvvd�ecT"6y the Court. If that occurs, the Ci ty woul d retai n i ts ri ght to proceed
against the other defendents for contribution.
By the Resolution, however, the City would waive its right to obtain that contri-
bution. The issue then raised is whether the waiver constitutes a gratuity to
the intervening parties. I do not presume to anticipate the legal resolution of
that issue. The following are the facts at hand:
1 . Planned Parenthood sued to enjoin the City from enactTng � moratorium on the
establishment of its facility in Highland Park.
2. The City and the intervenors, including Citizens for Community Action (CCA) ,
lost the case before the District Court in that the City was enjoined by the
Court from enacting the moratorium.
3. The City then refused to appeal the Court injunction (by virtue of the City
Council 's failure to over-ride my veto of August 16, 1976) .
4. Th.e intervenors then chose to independently proceed with their petition for
intervention and to continue to litigate major issues resulting in substantial
expenditures of time and legal fees. Fol1owing the appeal and intervention,
i� _ 2 _
i
the suit finally �resulted in the District Court's order of July 26, 1978.
Among other things, the Court ordered the payment of attorney's fees to
Planned Parenthood by the City, and by the City and CCA jointly and severally.
5. CCA has appealed that decision and has filed a brief before the Court of
Appeals raising the entire issue as to whether any fees should be paid, and
CCA's 1iability for payment of fees.
Notwithstanding the above, the Council , by its Resolution, and based on a desire
to "terminate a divisive matter which affects the entire community", would pay
the entire amount of attorney's fees and CCA wou1d pay $585.98 in costs.
Given all of the above facts, I veto the Resolution for the following reasons.
As a matter of principle, and as a matter of precedent, I consider it bad public
policy to undertake the ob1iga,tions incurred by the intervenors proceeding in
matters which the City chose not to pursue. The opportunities for other private �
parties to seek reimbursement under similar legal circumstances are almost
endless. In a society increasingly seeking solutions to problems by litigation,
intervenors in zoning matters,� human rights matters, land use issues (Job Corps,
Como Zoo, park Nursery, Union Gospel Mission, etc. ) could raise issues and expend
monies over which taxpayers, through their elected representatives, would have
little control .
Under this precedent, I. am hard put to see how we could distinguish the claims of
other litigants from this one. Would we examine the virtue of the litigants? The
merits of their case? Their re1ative ability or inability to pay their own fees
incurred without prior authorization of pub1ic funds? Or, indeed, might we be
responding to the pressures of the rich, the powerful , the well organized and the
sophisticated, and ignore those who are not? I do not believe it is good public
policy for public officials to enter that thicket.
As to the hope to "terminate a divisive matter'�, no such termination wi_11 occur
by this Res,olution-. Other litigants undoubtedly will raise once again the
propriety of the use of public funds for this purpose. The issues which are now
raised before the Federal Court o� Appeals will then 6e thrashed over again before
a new judicial forum. We should be aware of the reality of the situation: Neither
action by the City nor the Court will reconcile the opposing beliefs of the parties.
If there is merit to the CCA appeal , and on that issue I have no opinion, and if
it prevails, then the issue wi11 be put to rest without the expenditure proposed
by this Resolution. 'If CCA does not prevail , then the City will have retained its
right to obtain payment from those litigants who incurred those costs by engaging
in an appeal which the City did not authorize and chose not to join.
Finally, th2 Resolution would simply offer CCA payment of up to $7,700: A liability
it Sh�res jointly with the City. This is the very proposal rejected by the City
Attorney at my direction many months ago. Although this reversal of administrative
recommendation is not the crucial point in my decision, it is worth mentioning from
the standpoint of the ability of the professiona1s working for the City to deal on
matters of public interest with consistency and authority.
I am fully sympathetic wi;th the strong feelings of the CCA litigants against paying
any part of their funds for attorney's fees to an organization whose objectives
and practices they vehemently oppose,
' - 3 -
• , But, they understood that risk before taking independent action. Further, and as
a matter of principle, why should that opposition be allayed by the payment of
those same fees with public monies. I fail to see the moral , legal or policy
justification for this action contained in the Resolution.
Respectfully yours,
. .
or Latime

WHEREAS, in litigation pending on appeal to the Court of Appeals
for the Eighth Circuit, there is at issue the apportionment of
liability for payment of attorneys' fees of $5,000 - 8,000 to Planned
Parenthood of Minnesota, the outcome of which matter is in doubt and
subject to continuing controversy; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Saint Paul is desirous of
settling and compromising that matter to achieve a final resolution
of the matter, the main bulk of which has already been resolved by
dismissal of the complaint; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that this settlement and the payment
of public funds pursuant thereto is in the public interest and for a
public purpose, and will terminate a divisive matter which affects
the enti re community; and
WHEREAS, the Citizens for Community Action has offered that it
will pay the sum of $585.98 in costs if the City will pay the amount
of $20,981 .22 in attorneys' fees and costs ; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the City Council accepts the offer of settlement
and compromise by the Citizens for Community Action as indicated,
and authorizes the appropriate City officials to make payment of
City funds in accordance therewith.

to terminate a divisive matter which affects the entire community" , would pay
the entire amount of attorney's fees and CCA �vould pay $585.98 in costs.
Given all of the above facts, I veto the Resolution for the follo��ring reasons.
As a matter of principle, and as a matter of precedent, I consider it bad public
policy to undertake the obligations incurred by the intervenors proceeding in
matters which the City chose not to pursue. The opportunities for other private �
parties to seek reimbursement under similar legal circumstances are almost
endless. In a society increasingly seeking solutions to problems by litigation,
rs
intervenors in zoning matters, human rights matters, land use �ssues (Job Co p ,
Como Zoo, Park Nursery, Union Gospel P�ission, etc.) could raise issues and expend
monies over which taxpayers, through their elected representatives, would have
little control . .
Under this precedent, I am hard put to see how we could distinguish the claims of
other litigants from this one. t,lould we examine the virtue of the litigants? The
merits of their case? Their re1ative ability or inability to pay their own fees
incurred without prior authorization of public funds? Qr, indeed, might we be
responding to the pressures of the rich, the powerful , the well organized and the
sophisticated, and ignore those who are not? I do not believe it is good public
policy for public officials to enter that thicket.
As to the hope to "terminate a divisive matter", no such termination will occur
by this Resolution; Other litigants undoubtedly will raise once again th�
propriety of the use of public funds for this purpose. The issues which are now
raised before the Federal Court of Appeals will then be thrashed over again befare
a new judicial forum. We should be aware of the reality of the situation: Neitf�er
action by the City nor the Court will reconcile the opposing beliefs of the parties.
If there is merit to the CCA appeal , and on that issue I have no opinion, and if
it prevails, then the issue will b� put to rest without the expenditure proposed
by this Resolution. "If CCA does not prevail , then the City will have retained its
right to obtain payment from those litigants who incurred those costs by engaging
in an appeal which the City did not authorize and chose not to join.
Finally, th2 Resolution would sir�ply offer CCA payr�ent of up to �7,700: A liability
it shares jointly with the City. This is the very proposal rejected by the City
Attorney at my direction many nonths ago. Although this reversal of administrative
recommendation is not the crucial point in my decision, it is worth mentioning fror�
trie standpoint of the ability of the professionals working for the City to deal on
matters of public interest with consistency and authority.
I am fully sympathetic with the strong feelings of the CCA litigants against paying
any part of their funds for attorney's fees to an organization whose objectives
and practices they vehemently oppose..

Room 719
City Hall
Dear Dave:
I am sorry that I will be unable to attend the City Council. meeting scheduled
for Thursday, December 14, 1978.
I would appreciate it, however, if you coul.d please place this letter on record
as my intentions regarding the settlement of Planned Parenthood re�.ative to
CCA liability for fees. I would further appreciate it if this could be read
at the time of the meeting.
It would be my intention if it were legally possib�.e, to favor the paying
of the Planned Parenthood fees, as well as those fees incurred by Councilman
Patrick Roedler during this debate. In this consideration I also urge that the
City Development Committee find out the possibilities of city council members
and the mayor being privately insured so that we will not be afraid to exercise
our constitutional right as an el.ected official because of peer pressure or
pressure of a threatening law suit against us individually as private citizens.
As I am sure you are aware, the law does permit suits brought against councilmembers
as public officials as well as private citizens. I think in the years �Co come
that there will be several heated issues and iti would be absurd to let an elected
official be sued privately and financially damaged as �.ong as he is voting based
on conviction and not on malace or a get-even attitude.
Thank you for reading this letter.
Democratically yours,
�-G��

Deceznber 21, 1978
T0: Mayor George Latimer
Council President David Hozza
Members of the City Council
FROM: Ron Ma.ddox
Councilman
My vote on the issue of overriding the veto at hand has given me a lot
of time, which I have had in the last several weeks, to discuss and think
and reach what I think is a decision.
First of all, T want to clarify from the start that I had prepared to leave
the hospital prior to any written notification of a veto so my decision is
not based on any grandstanding play and I hope my colleagues would not think
that.
The three areas that I looked at are: (1) legal, (2) moral., and (3) personal
and political. In the area of number 3, I realize that this is a no-win
issue. It is to bad that people can�t separate the abortion issue from
this veto. Unfortunately, everyone says that they do, but I doubt very
much if a lot of people are really doing that.
I totally believe that the Mayor has probably delibe�a�ed:-and had more
conversations and pressure than any other individual of the elected officials.
I have had several discussions with him on his position vs. my posi�ion, even
before the election.
Secondly, several members of the City Council have talked to me about
upholding their side if it should have to come to Council vote. I gave my
word on that so T guess the overriding factor, as well as the personal and
political items, are that I do not want to see the day when the City Council
has to be pressured because of the fear of a law suit if he or she does not
vote the way of their conscience and what is right, rather than who is right.

As has been referred to in the news media as opening the can of worms,
or pandoras box, I do not feel that this relates in this case for the
following reason: at one point in time the City Council had four votes
which would have been the city's position on this issue. Consequently,
when the Ma.yor overrode the Council's position and the Counci� could not
pick up the fifth vote, the Mayor's opinion was then the opinion that the
City Attorney had to uphold, leaving the City Counci� without legal
assistance.
I can't remember the last time this happened, but to compare it to
a time when this might have taken place is not a logical comparison because
you would have to compare apples to apples, otherwise you would be comparing
oranges to peaches.
I think that is an area rather than talking about what could happen in the
future is something that the Rules and Policy Committee should look at
immediately because if four members of the City Council feel strong�y
enough on an issue that they should have at least the legal protection of
counseling in case of an override and in making that statement I tiru�y
understand the difference between the strong Mayor and weak Mayor form
of government.
I hope I am wrong, but from some of the phone calls tihat I have been
receiving in my office parts of this city do not agree with my pos3tion.
I also believe that I have separated the issue and I am not concerned about
Planned Parenthood vs. the Citizens for Community Action. I am concerned
with what is right in my conscience and how to best display my willingness
to do what is right.
In the area of the legal consideration I submit the fo�lowing: I am voting
to override the Ma.yor`s veto and to settle the Citizens for Community
Action appeal by accepting their payment, as the Council voted last week.
It is not good public business to use $5,000 of the City Attorney's budget
to fight an appeal to try to collect a doubtful and contested nlaim for
about $5,000. We are better off to take $585 and have a bird in the hand.
If the city loses the appeal, we have wasted $5,000 of our budget, and
have put citizens to an unnecessary expense. If more hearings are needed
after this appeal, the city would on�y spend more for attorney's fees.
I am not intimidated by public threats o£ taxpayers suits. The City Council
can settle a law suit according to our best judgment.
It would have been very easy for me and logical to side step this issue
by rema.ining in the hospital. At the time I was to1d, a week ago, that I
could leave when the headaches were gone, I had no know�edge of what was
coming up today. So getting out of the hospital as was planned to dn and
not coming out to vote on an issue such as this, I feel would be hypocritical.

�$ would not have a proliferation of some

10 that it� is clear that this proposal has very

13 The purpose of this proposal, and it
14 should be clear from the witnesses you have
�
15 had here today, the informatior you have gotte
16 prior to today, is simply to keep abortion out
17 of Iiighland. By its very nature this
18 resolution fails to meet the requirements
19 that w�ere set forth by the �.7innesota Supreme
20 Court last month. The federal cour� has ruled
21 tha-t state and local governments r�ay not
