DRAFT MINUTES
The Budget workshop reconvened at 8:46 p.m.
1. Long Range Plan Discussion
Lannes asked if there were any questions on the long-range plan that was presented prior
to the regular council meeting. In addition, Lannes mentioned the items we want to look
at in the future is if there bonding needed around the two years where debt is retired to
avoid fluctuation in the future levies for projects.
Mayor Hendrickson asked if there is any room to start adding funds for the parks.
Nafstad as of now there is no room currently in the budget to increase for major park
projects without a large increase in the levy. The improvements for Central Park are in
the long-range plan, but funding has not been assigned.
2. Draft 2021 Preliminary Budget — Presentation
Lannes presented the draft 2021 budget and levy reminding Council that once the
preliminary levy is adopted in September it can only be decreased, not increased, for final
levy in December. In addition, Lannes mentioned this draft budget doesn't include the
enterprise funds they are not part of the tax levy so they are separate. The presentation
included budget history and prior years levies. The draft 2021 budget presented has a
1.72% in the levy which consists of a 4.89% ($104,648) increase in operations, .30%
($3,084) increase in Capital and a decrease of 4.64% ($36,280) for a total projected levy
increase of $72,172 or 1.72%.
• Senior Center/Library
Lannes informed the Council that the debt service the City of Albertville shares with the
City of St. Michael for the Senior Center/Library has a small decrease in the 2021
preliminary budget and forward to 2036 since St. Michael refinanced the bond. The
refinancing is projected to save $60,307 for Albertille's portion over the remaining life
of the bond.

City of Albertville, MN

Agenda Page 23
A. Plan Objectives
In response to a pandemic emergency, the City of Albertville has prepared this plan to meet the
following objectives:
1. Follow the City of Albertville Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in order to ensure delivery of
basic City services.
2. Mitigate the spread of the virus among employees.
3. Assist employees and their families in managing personal and/or family illnesses during an
outbreak.
Pandemic planning presents unique differences from the City of Albertville COOP template. Focusing on
continuity of operations with considerable loss of staff, depleted resources, and a public on high alert
will be a considerable challenge. The priority will be ensuring that essential City operations continue.
This entails that each Department within the City develop a list of service priorities and corresponding
plans for meeting those priorities.
B. Plan Assumptions
The City may be faced with a reduction in its workforce and significant human health concerns in the
workplace environment. This plan is designed to help the City minimize the risk that a pandemic may
pose to the health and safety of employees, continuity of operations, and economic well-being.
No one can predict when a pandemic might occur, how long it will last, and how serious its impacts
might be. Therefore, it is imperative the City take steps to develop service continuation plans that
protect employees, minimize disruptions, and limit negative impacts on customers and our community.
While a pandemic cannot be stopped, proper preparation may reduce the impact. Preparedness and
mitigation require that the City assume and plan for a worst -case scenario. Accordingly, the City's
Pandemic Preparedness Plan is based on the following assumptions:
1. Wright County Public Health, the Minnesota Department of Health, or the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention will be the lead agency(s) ("Responsible Authority') in the public health
response to the pandemic.
2. The City Administrator and City's Director of Emergency Management will act as the leads,
coordinating the City's Department Heads.
3. Absenteeism due to illness rates for City employees could be high at the height of the
pandemic's peak. Employees may fail to report to work due to fear of becoming ill or because
they are caring for an afflicted family member.
4. Basic services such as healthcare, law enforcement, fire and emergency response,
communications, transportation, and utilities could be disrupted during a pandemic.
S. Assistance from outside organizations, County, State, and Federal government may be limited.
6. The City may not be able to perform all functions and provide all services at full capacity
throughout the pandemic.
7. Any City office may be closed due to staffing shortages or community quarantine.
Agenda Page 24
C. Preventing Spread at the Workplace (Updated 8/3/2020)
Requiring Minnesotans to Wear a Face Covering in Certain Settings to Prevent the Spread of COVID-
19:
On 7/22/2020, the Governor of Minnesota issued Emergency Executive Order 20-81" Requiring
Minnesotans to Wear a Face Covering in Certain Settings to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19", to be
effective 7/24/2020 at 11:59 p.m.
The Emergency Executive Order requires:
"All businesses must update their COVID-19 Preparedness Plans to include the face covering
requirements of this Executive Order, including those that have been incorporated into the Industry
Guidance applicable to their business available on the Stay Safe Minnesota website
(https://staysafe.mn.gov), inform their workers how their plan has been updated, and make the revised
plan available to their workers."
The Emergency Executive Order will be implemented for all employees of the City of Albertville. The City
will provide training and direction on Emergency Executive Order 20-81. A written copy of Emergency
Executive Order 20-81 will be available to all employees.
Promoting respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette: The City will promote hygiene through a variety of
methods to help reduce the spread of the virus at the worksite. Though respiratory hygiene and cough
etiquette are simple concepts, during a pandemic they become a vital defense to a potentially
dangerous outbreak. a 1W
Since indirect transmission (e.g. from hand-to-hand, or hand to contaminated object and then
contaminated object to hand) is the main way in which the virus is passed from person to person,
educational programs will reiterate the need for routine and frequent hand washing. Washing with plain
soap, hand sanitizer lotion, alcohol or other antiseptic -based hand wash products eliminates the virus. It
is important to wash hands even if protective gloves have been worn. Gloves are not a substitute for
hand washing.
Hand sanitizer lotion and tissues will be provided in each work site for employees to enhance proper
cough and hygiene etiquette. Employees should cover their mouth when coughing or sneezing and
wash/sanitize their hands immediately thereafter. Additionally, all employees should avoid/reduce close
contact with the public or other employees. The telephone or e-mail should be used to communicate
whenever possible.
To prevent spread the City will also:
1. Disseminate information on the pandemic and how it is spread.
Agenda Page 25
2. Disseminate information to employees on proper hygiene methods and other behavior activities
and/or restrictions that will reduce the risk of spreading the pandemic virus among the
workforce.
3. Display educational materials to remind employees of proper cough etiquette, hand washing,
and other behaviors that will reduce the risk of infection.
4. Provide information to employees to assist them in protecting themselves and their families
during a pandemic.
5. Relay information to employees through e-mail, and mailings to employees at their homes, if
requested.
6. Develop and distribute flyers containing accurate and up-to-date information about the
situation and to provide a location within each department to post this information for
employees.
Hand -hygiene products, tissues, disposal receptacles: The City will identify the products or supplies
needed and the sources from which to obtain them. The City will maintain an inventory of these items,
such as hand sanitizer, tissue paper, and other personal protective equipment items for use by
employees in their work area.
D. Guidelines to Modify Frequency and Type of Face -to -Face Contact
Face -to -Face: In face-to-face meetings, individuals should limit contact. Participants should practice
staying six (6) feet or more apart.
Handshaking: Employees should stop shaking hands if there is a pandemic to help reduce the spread of
the disease. If employees find themselves shaking hands, they should practice increased hand hygiene.
Meetings: Employees should limit attendance at meetings. Meetings should be suspended when the
same information can be obtained with a conference call, e-mail, or through chat groups over the
internet. If a face- to -face meeting is necessary, following the following rules may help ensure that
transmission of the virus is limited:
1. The room being used should be cleaned and disinfected using good housekeeping techniques
such as disinfecting the tables, chairs, phones, and other places that one might be expected to
touch.
2. Prop the door open (when doing so would not breach facility security) to keep employees, and
the public, from touching the doorknobs.
3. Spread out as much as possible and avoid hand shaking.
4. Minimize the length of meetings.
5. Meet in large rooms.
6. Require all employees to wash their hands after leaving meetings.
7. Clean the room after each use.
In the event of a pandemic outbreak, the City Administrator may issue a directive cancelling all meetings
and/or a directive banning non -City employees, including vendors, from entering City buildings.
Agenda Page 26
Social Distancing: Social distancing refers to strategies to reduce the frequency of contact (and the
transmission of a virus) between people by minimizing close contact during phases of a pandemic.
Contacts are those persons who have had close (6-feet or less) physical or confined airspace contact
with an infected person within four days of that person developing symptoms. These are likely to
include family members and/or other living companions, co-workers (if in confined airspace
environments) and possibly recreational companions. The City will encourage the use of technology to
facilitate social distancing by using communications networks, remote access, and web access to
maintain distance among employees and between employees and citizens whenever possible.
Entering Properties: If a pandemic emergency is declared by the City Administrator and/or Director of
Emergency Management, employees will not enter residential or commercial properties for the
purposes of inspection, or repair unless:
1. Entry is approved by a supervisor.
2. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is worn.
3. Immediate decontamination upon leaving the property.
Utility and Public Works employees who respond to sewer, water, or lift station emergencies shall wear
Personal Protective Equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment and decontamination procedures will be used when possible by all first
responder personnel who enter properties for fire calls and medical emergencies. In some instances, the
Fire Department may not respond to suspected or confirmed pandemic related calls for service. These
calls will be referred to the local EMS provider.
E. Administration and Human Resources
Activation of the Plan: The City Administrator, in coordination with the Director of Emergency
Management, will activate the plan based on the current situation and in coordination with the
Pandemic Response Plan of Wright County and/or the State of Minnesota. City Staff will use the City's
plan (either in total or in part) in the event of a pandemic to which the City is called to respond.
Activation of the plan will correspond to the evolution of the pandemic. The following events will be
considered trigger events for implementation of all or portions of this plan:
1. The United States Federal Government, through their official Agencies, issues a Pandemic
Declaration for the United States of America, and/or
2. The State of Minnesota issues a Pandemic Declaration for the State, and/or
3. The Wright County Public Health Department, and/or Wright County Department of Emergency
Management, issue a Pandemic Declaration for the County, and/or
4. The Mayor of the City of Albertville declares a Pandemic Emergency for the City.

City's Pandemic Response Plan in the event a pandemic crisis is imminent or has occurred.
Pandemic Crisis Assessment: Upon notification of a pandemic crisis, the City Administrator, Director of
Emergency Management, and Department Heads will meet to:
Agenda Page 27
1. Make an initial risk determination to define the extent of the crisis and determine what portions
of the program need to be implemented based on that analysis.
2. Continually assess the severity of the crisis, the efficacy of the City's response, and determine
whether changes need to be made. If members are unable to physically meet due to
governmental limitations on travel or quarantine, meetings will be held by remote means.
3. Make a determination regarding the cancellation of public meetings.
Sick Leave: During a declared pandemic, the following sick leave policy will be used for all pandemic
related absences:
1. All eligible regular, full-time employees will be allowed to use sick time as prescribed according

State of Minnesota is subject to a pandemic outbreak, all Out -of -City work travel must be
approved by a supervisor.
2. If work travel is imminent and refunds cannot, or will not, be made, the City Administrator may
decide to allow the employee to take the prearranged trip if the employee presents a doctor's
statement indicating that he/she does not have the pandemic virus.
3. If a pandemic emergency is declared, the City Administrator will suspend City travel and
training.
4. If an employee lives in a community that has been declared a pandemic zone by its local
government, health department or other responsible entity, or is otherwise quarantined due to
such an outbreak, the employee shall notify their immediate supervisor, the on -call supervisor,
or EOC Incident commander if operational, of the announcement, as soon as practical. The
affected employee shall not report to the workplace until the quarantine is lifted and the
employee has met, or exceeded, the standards established by the responsible authority for
returning to work.
Availability of medical consultation and advice: The City will use a combination of sources for medical
consultation and advice, including Wright County Public Health, the Minnesota Department of Health
(MDH), and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). An increase in the threat alert level
may trigger a review to determine if independent medical consultation is necessary.
F. Flexible Work Schedule
Work schedules will be determined by the service needs of the City Administrator and will be managed
through the Department Head accordingly. The Department Head will determine an appropriate
schedule for an employee to best fit the needs of the department during a pandemic event. The
Department Head may require employees to change work schedules in order to reduce the risk of the
virus spreading at the work site.
Agenda Page 28
Employees may be assigned to other departments and/or cross -trained with other departments to
ensure proper City services are provided.
