18. Resolution - 94-210 - authorizing and directing proper City Officials to execute a contract
with the Minnesota Department of Education to provide support and advocates to children
uprooted during St. Paul Police F.O.R.C.E. drug raids.
Councilmember Blakey requested information on how children have been dealt with during
drug raids conducted in the past.
Katherine Cairns, Director of Public Health, explained that prior to receipt of the grant,
The FORCE unit would remove children from the site of a drug raid and they were taken
to a facility where a medical assessment was performed. When the procedure was
completed police officers would take the children to an emergency foster shelter until
another place was found for them. With the new process, and with the cooperation of the
Ramsey County Human Services Department, a social worker is on call, thereby freeing up
police from having to transport the children. When the FORCE Unit finds children at the
site of a drug raid, the social worker is called and that person comes to the site and
transports the children to Children's Hospital for a health assessment and then transports
them to the emergency foster shelter. The social worker does a follow-up with the children
and provides documentation related to any child protection issues.
The Public Health Department will be monitoring the process in cooperation with the Police
Department and Ramsey County Human Services. Quarterly reports will be provided to the
City Council. Ms. Cairns invited Councilmembers to do a"ride-along" to observe the
program.
Councilmember Rettman moved approval.

19. Resolution - 94-211 - allowing the City to require residency as a term of employment for
new firefighters and peace officers.
Councilmember Megard said she has concerns about the message that would be sent if this
resolution is approved. Megard moved that it be refened to the Community and Economic
Development Committee for discussion regarding the impact of residency requirements on
employment in the city, neighborhood safety, and the future of the city as part of the
metropolitan region. Councilmember Grimm felt it may be more appropriate to refer it to
the City Operations Committee.
Councilmember Blakey spoke in support of the resolution stating, among other reasons, that
many city taxpayers have said that they feel city employees should live in the city.
Councilmember Harris spoke against sending the resolution to committee saying that the
city should support the state bill that is presently being considered which would allow the
city to establish a residency requirement by ordinance. A policy discussion could be held
8
Summary Minutes March 2, 1994
after the action is taken by the Legislature.
After further discussion by Councilmembers, Pam Wheelock, Mayor's Chief of Staff, stated
that the Mayor feels strongly about the benefits that would result from passage of this
resolution including the safety benefits from having safety officers residing in the city.
However, it would not be productive to have further discussions unless the city's has the
authority to implement such a provision. The first step is to get authorizing legislation from
the State.
Roll call on motion to refer to CED Committee - Yes - 2; Nays - 5(Blakey, Guerin,
Harris, Rettman, Thune)
Councilmember Rettman stated that she will discuss with Councilmember Harris the
possibility of dividing up the policy discussion between personnel matters and the option
matters.
Councilmember Blakey moved to introduced the following resolution under suspension:
Roll Call Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Resolution - 94-250 - supporting State Legislation allowing the City of Saint Paul to
establish a residency requirement for future employment.
Councilmember Blakey moved approval of the resolution.
A brief discussion ensued with Councilmembers and Ray Faricy of the Intergovernmental
Relations Office.
Councilmember Megard expressed her desire that there be a policy discussion and that the
Council not rush into setting precedents that may send signals that the Councilmembers
have already made of their minds. She also noted that this issue is not on the city's
legislative agenda.
Councilmember Rettman offered a friendly amendment to the resolution as follows:
"Finally Resolved, that upon passage of authorizing legislation, the
governing body will evaluate alternative residency proposals and determine
by majority vote, and with the approval of the Mayor, the preferred option."
Adopted as amended 6-1 (Megard)
28. Resolution - 94-220 - amending the 1994 budget by releasing a portion of consultant funds
from contingency for Professional Services in the Department of Planning and Economic
Development.
(Councilmember Guerin left and returned during this discussion)
Councilmember Blakey questioned what the policy is for hiring consultants.
Carol Otto, PED, stated that there are times when PED is in the midst of a law suit, and
upon advice from the City Attorney, it is necessary for them to seek outside legal and.or
technical advice. It is time consuming to go through the procedure to request funds be
released from contingency.
Councilmember Rettman e3cplained that in the past there has been anywhere from $200,000
to $800,000 spent for consultants. The consultant dollars were placed in contingency during
the 1994 budget process as well as in past years. Under the City Charter, the only entity
that can request outside legal counsel is the City Attorney and it must come before the
Council. Also, it insures that there is either a bidding process when hiring consultants.
