Agreement and that MAC therefore declines to provide indemnification. In such a case,
the Indemnified Party may itself control the negotiation, settlement and defense of the
Claim at its own expense and may select counsel of its own choice for that purpose, and
MAC must cooperate with the Indenuiified Party in the respects described in sections �.a,
7.b and 7.c of this Agreement as if MAC were an Indemnified Party.

the Indemnified Party's defense without the prior written consent of MAC.
8. Terminafion Of Indemnificafion ObligaHon: MAC's obligation to provide
indemnification pursuant to section 2 of this Agreement will terminate:

thereafter further amends its comprehensive plan or zoning code so as to change
materially the provisions previously adopted pursuant to section 2 of this Agreement;
b. as to any Indemnified Party, if the Indemnified Pariy or an City with which
an individual Tndemnified Party is associated fails to perform any of its obligations under
section 7 of this Agreement and does not correct such failure within 30 days after being
given notice by MAC that MAC will cease to provide indemnification if the failure is not
conected;
c. as to any Indemnified Party, if the Indemnified Party or an City with which

for those costs from MAC, the Indenmified Party shall promptly reimburse MAC for the

reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the posifions of MAC and the
Indemnified Pariy in connection with the defense of a Claim, or that there may be legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those being asserted on its
behalf by MAC, counsel for the Indemnified Party may conduct, at the Indemnified Party's own
expense and at no expense to MAC, a defense to the e�ent that the Indemnified Parry's counsel
believes necessary to protect the Indemnified Party's interests. In any evenY, the Indeu�nified

City Council President Kathy Lantry
and Members of the Saint Paul City Couiicil
City Hall, Third Fioor
Saint Paul, MN 55102
RE: Indemnification Agreement for City Participafion in the St. Paul Downtown
Airport Joint Zoning Board
Dear Council President Lantry and Members of the City Council:
The State Legislature mandates tYiat the City participate in the Joint Airport Zoning Boazd
(JAZB) governing land regulations around the St. Paul Downtown Airport (Holman
Field). Such regulations are intended to ensure safety of those on the ground as well as
those in aircraft using Holman Field. A new ordinance will be developed by the 7AZB
for considerafion by the City and is intended to "...regulate and restrict the height of
structures and objects of natural growth, and otherwise regulate the use of property in the
vicuuty of..." Holman Field. Such regulations will be drafted over the next six months
or so and sent to the City Council for final adoption as a portion of the City's Zoning
Code.
However, before such regulations can be developed and negotiated, the cities involved
and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) must agree upon an approach which
indemnifies the cities and individual staff developing, and ultimately implementing, such
regulations. Using the work done in 2002, the MAC is suggesting the same approach to
indemnificarion that is in place for MSP. The City signed such an agreement on January
22, 2003 (Res. 03-40). Such indemnification protects the City and its representatives
from legal action stemming from action of the JAZB.
Specifically, the agreement obligates the City to:
• Make available to MAC all books, records and documents that MAC needs for
defense of any claim for which indemnification is sought;
• Cooperate fully with MAC to secure any information or testimony that MAC
determines to be relevant to any such claims;
• Execute all necessary pleadings or other documents in any litigation with respect
to such claims, provided that the Indemnified Party may have counsel of its ocvn
to review such pleadings; and
• Must not settle or compromise any ctaim for which MAC has undertaken the
City's defense without prior written consent of MAC.
Attached for your consideration is a draft City Council Resolution and the proposed
Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement with the MAC.
Requested Acfion: Approve Yhe Resolution allowing the City to enter into the
Indemnificafion and Cooperation Agreement.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Chris Coleman, Mayor
