a. 2024/2025 STMA Arena Budget and Rates:
Mr. Nafstad reported that the budget within the packet has not changed since the last meeting. He
explained that the rental time sold was mirrored to 2023 budget numbers. Made a couple minor
tweaks to the budget for utilities and expenses. The budget does include a$5/hour increase. This
could be removed, but over time will need to be at a greater bump. The budget is balanced, but
generally pretty flat budget.
Chairman Cocking commented that he liked the conservative budgeting on the income-side.
Mr. Lewis stated he did discuss with Ann-Marie and the District regarding their audit on whether
or not they wanted to ask for a reduction in ice rate and at this time they do not want to ask for a
reduction.

Director of Administrative Services
St. Michael-Albertville Public Schools
11343 50th Street NE
Albertville, MN 55301
RE: Permissibility of Renting Public Facilities on State Holidays
Dear Mr. Birk:
In a recent communication you requested that our office provide an opinion to
Independent School District No. 885, St. Michael-Albertville ("School District"), that it
may share with other its joint powers entity partners as identified below, based upon the
following:
FACTS
The School District, the city of Albertville ("Albertville") and the city of St. Michael
("St. Michael") are parties to a Joint Powers Agreement and Management Agreement
("JPA") regarding the construction, operation and management of the St. Michael
Albertville Arena ("STMA Areana"), located in Albertville, Minnesota. The parties are
equal owners, with each sharing a one-third interest in the property. The School District
also solely owns and operates a separate ice arena ("ISD 885 Arena") that is adjacent to
the STMA ice arena. Pursuant to the JPA, Albertville performs the administrative and
management duties for both the STMA Ice Arena and ISD 885 Arena with the funding
for management of the ISD 885 Arena paid for by the School District.
Both of these ice arena facilities are used by the School District varsity and junior varsity
hockey programs, the St. Michael-Albertville Youth Hockey Association and
occasionally for other third party use. All personnel performing work at the STMA Arena
and ISD 885 Arena pursuant to the JPA are employees of Albertville. Certain areas of the
combined space between the STMA Arena and the ISD 885 Arena are also used as
community space or private rental spaces from time to time that are leased out to various
community groups, organizations, or families for special events. All rental revenues and
444 t'€^dar StrecG Suite 2100.fat. Train,MN 55101 -p(612)339•••0060 a fg6i 2y 339-003 13/24 14
Douglas Birk April 8, 2024 Page 2 of 9
expenses are deemed joint arena operating revenue and expenses. When the School
District uses the arenas, it provides additional support personnel who are employees or
individuals contracted for by the School District. Pursuant to the JPA, the Joint Powers
Board has the authority to exercise all powers which are common to St. Michael,
Albertville and the School District and to decide what uses the facility will be put to and
to whom the facility shall be leased and upon what rental terms.
On February 4, 2023, an amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 654.44 took effect.
See 2003 Minn. Laws Ch. 5, § 2; 2003 Minn. Laws Ch. 62, Art. 2, § 117. This statute
defines those holiday declared to be state holidays and the permissible activities that may
be engaged in by public entities on those days as discussed more below. The 2023
amendment modified the definition of"holiday" to now include Juneteenth, identified as
June 19th, as a state holiday wherein "no public business" shall be transacted, except in
"cases of necessity."
The JPA does not address the specific dates of operation of the ice arenas. Rather, the
JPA provides that the normal operating hours for the combined arenas shall be set by the
Arena Board from time to time. As noted above, staffing of the arena is the responsibility
of Albertville although when the arenas are in use by the School District, the School
District also provides its own supplemental staff.' For the most part, however,
Albertville's staff operate the arena and its employment policies and practices control the
terms of employment for these staff. Albertville also is responsible for maintaining a
schedule of all hours of ice time not used by the School District and has authority to sell
available ice time at the rate established by the Joint Powers Board.
It recently came to the attention of the Joint Powers Board that one or both of the arenas
have been rented out on June 19, 2024, which is Juneteenth, and possibly other state
holidays designed in Minnesota law.
Based on the foregoing, you asked the following:
UESTION
Is it legally permissible for the Joint Arena Board, which governs the operation of both
ice areas, the STMA Arena and the ISD 885 Arena, to rent out the use of these facilities
or otherwise operate these arenas on Juneteenth or other holidays designated as state
holidays by law.
' Following the passage and effective date of this law, on June 5, 2023, the School District School Board
passed a resolution that authorized holiday compensation for Juneteenth in recognition of the state holiday
and to identify to the public that it would not be hosting activities or events or providing public access to
school facilities on that day. As a result, absent modification by the School District School Board of this
resolution, the School District presently does not have the authority to operate or staff the arenas on
Juneteenth.
STMA Arena Board 05/13/24 15

ANALYSIS
I. Minnesota Designated State Holidays
At the outset, the following dates are defined under Minnesota law to constitute a
legal holiday:
• New Year's Day, January 1;
• Martin Luther King's Birthday, the third Monday in January;
• Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday, the third Monday in February;
• Memorial Day, the last Monday in May;
• Juneteenth, June 19;
• Independence Day, July 4;
• Labor Day, the first Monday in September;
• Indigenous Peoples Day, the second Monday in October;
• Veterans Day, November 11;
• Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November; and
• Christmas Day, December 25.-
Minn. Stat. § 645.44, subd. 5 (a).
To the extent these holidays are designated to fall on a particular date, there are
supplemental rules that must be applied when the data of the holiday falls on a
Saturday or Sunday. More specifically:
• When New Year's Day, January 1; or Juneteenth, June 19; or Independence
Day, July 4; or Veterans Day, November 11; or Christmas Day, December
25; falls on Sunday, the following day (Monday) shall be a holiday.
• When New Year's Day, January 1; or Juneteenth, June 19; or Independence
Day, July 4; or Veterans Day, November 11; or Christmas Day, December
25; falls on Saturday, the preceding day (Friday) shall be a holiday,
Minn. Stat. § 645.44, subd. 5(a).
On these designated holidays, no public business may be conducted but there are
special rules with regard to some of these holidays where exceptions are applied
depending on the identity of the government entity. These rules are as follows:
• The Minnesota legislature may conduct public business on any of these
designated holidays.
STMA Arena Board 05/13/24 16
Douglas Birk April 8, 2024 Page 4 of 9
• For the executive branch of the state of Minnesota, the Friday after
Thanksgiving also is defined as a holiday but Indigenous Peoples Day is
not included as a holiday. The executive branch is defined as being limited
to: "the heads of all agencies of state government, elective or appointive,
established by statute or constitution and all employees of those agency
heads who have within their particular field of responsibility statewide
jurisdiction and who are not within the legislative or judicial branches of
government. . . The executive branch does not include agencies with
jurisdiction in specifically defined geographical areas, such as regions,
counties, cities, towns, municipalities, or school districts, . . . , and all of
their employees, and any other entity which is incorporated, even though it
receives state funds." Minn. Stat. § 43A.02, subd. 22 (emphasis added).
Thus, this exception does not apply to Albertville, St. Michael or the
School District.
• Other branches of state government and political subdivisions (which
would include Albertville, St. Michael and the School District) shall have
the option of determining whether Indigenous Peoples Day and the Friday
after Thanksgiving shall be holidays. Where it is determined that
Indigenous Peoples Day or the Friday after Thanksgiving is not a holiday,
public business may be conducted thereon. Thus, Albertville, St. Michael
and the School District have some flexibility to conduct public business on
these two particular holidays.
Minn. Stat. § 645.44, subd. 5(a).
There also is separate statutory authority for the operation of public business by
public schools on certain identified holidays. In this regard, Minnesota Statutes,
section 120A.42, specially provides that public schools may choose to operate
schools on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Indigenous Peoples Day
(formerly known as Columbus Day), and Veterans Day. In doing so, however,
there must be some school program devoted to patriot observance of the holiday.
While not permitted to generally conduct school on Juneteenth, a separate law also
was enacted that permits public schools to offer "instruction and programs as to
the observance of this day relative to important contributions African-Americans
have made to Minnesota's communities, culture, and economy. Minn. Stat. §
10.55. While permitting observance of ceremonies, this statute still does not
permit the general operation of schools.
Notably, however, no exception is made to give any government entity other than
the legislature the option as to whether to conduct business on Juneteenth. While
the state legislature may conduct business on this day, subject to the restrictions
set forth below, Albertville, St. Michael and the School District all must treat
STMA Arena Board 05/13/24 17
Douglas Birk April 8, 2024 Page 5 of 9
Juneteenth as a state holiday and generally may not conduct public business on
this day.
II. Activities That May Not Constitute Public Business
As referenced above, government entities other than the legislature or pursuant to
the narrow exceptions listed above, are not permitted to conduct "public business"
on state designated holidays. Thus, there is a valid question presented as to
whether the rental of the ice arenas is considered "public business" prohibiting
such action. Unfortunately, the statute does not define what constitutes "public
business" under this exemption.
At the outset, it was noted by the Minnesota Supreme Court that that the term
"public business" . . . may well defy precise definition" and that there is no
authority that covers all situations. Kantack v. Kreuer, 158 N.W.2d 842, 845-6
(Minn. 1968). Thus, the vagueness of the law and lack of significant interpretation
of it does expose public entities to some risk when attempting to apply this
exception. The Minnesota courts, while not addressing the specific issue as to the
permissibility of renting public facilities, reviewed certain situations as to whether
they may constitute "public business" providing some limited guidance as to the
application of the law.
For example, in the Kantack case, the Court reviewed whether or not holding a
sheriff's sale of foreclosed property constitutes "public business" and, if so, if
conducting business on Columbus Day (now Indigenous Peoples Day), a legal
holiday, renders such action void. There are two key factors the court looked at in
analyzing whether a sheriff was conducting public business in holding an auction.
First, the court examined whether the act being taken is one that could otherwise
be conducted by a private person. Here, the court found that act of the sheriff in
presiding over the auction was merely ministerial. The auction was an action being
brought by private parties relative to the foreclose on a debt owed under a private
mortgage contract. Second, the court determined that to be "public business" there
must be some aspect of the business in which the public is interested or that
concerns the public health, safety, morals or general welfare of the state. Id., citing
Green v. Frazier, 176 N.W. 11 (N.D. 1920), Here, too, the court determined that
the mortgage foreclosure sale was one of a business enterprise for sole benefit of
the parties involved in the transaction subject only to regulation of the process by
the government. For these reasons, the court in Kantack found that the mere fact
that the foreclosure sale was conducted by the sheriff does not make the sale of
private property by foreclosure public business as the public neither shares in the
proceeds nor has any financial interest in what is clearly private business.
A similar conclusion was reached in the case of Slater v. Schack, 43 N.W. 7
(Minn. 1889), involving the act of a notary public who acknowledged the
signature of the parties on President's Day, as an act of private business. Similar
STMA Arena Board 05/13/24 18
Douglas Birk April 8, 2024 Page 6 of 9
conclusions finding that the act of the government is not public business also have
been reached where the conduct was merely prescribed by law without the
exercise of any personal judgment or discretion by government employee. See
e.g., City of St. Paul v Robinson, 152 N.W. 777 (1915) (the city's publication of an
ordinance in the official newspaper of the city on a legal holiday does not
constitute the "transaction of public business," as that term is used in the statute);
Minn. Op. Atty. Gen. 359A-24, 1978 WL 34136 (Dec. 26, 1978) (prohibiting the
conduct of public business on a holiday does not prevent the commencement of a
new term of office by a public official on January 1. A person may also qualify for
and assume office on that day.).
In contrast, situations where employees are performing some type of work related
to the actual business of the government have been found by the Minnesota
Attorney General to be public business that may not occur on a holiday. See e.g.,
Minn. Op. Atty. Gen., No. 185, p. 277 (1942) (the village assessor should not
work on Sundays or holidays); Minn. Op. Atty. Gen., 276 (Apr. 11, 1939) (city
councils cannot hold meetings on legal holidays); Minn. Op. Atty. Gen. 104-a-10
(June 22, 1948) (county boards cannot keep courthouses open on holidays); Minn.
Op. Atty. Gen. 168 (1945) (schools cannot require teachers to teach on holidays).
More recently, with respect to the newly enacted law declaring Juneteenth as a
state holiday, several authoritative agencies have opined as to the legality of the
operation of business of both schools and cities on Juneteenth. For example, the
Minnesota Department of Education ("MDE") provided a bulletin update on June
2, 2023, opining that "[a]s is the case with other holidays defined in Minnesota
Session Laws 2023, Chapter 5, no public business can be conducted on this day.
This means school cannot hold classes or programs, school board meetings,
athletic practices and competitions, and other school-associated events." See
attachment. MDE did not identify any exceptions to this rule. Similarly, the
League of Minnesota Cities published at least three articles noting that Juneteenth
is a holiday in which no public business shall be transacted, except in cases of
necessity. See attachment. Similarly, the League of Minnesota Cities also did not
provide any exceptions to the general prohibition of public business being
conducted on state holidays.
Given the above interpretations of the law, it would seem that the leasing or use of
the Joint Powers Board's ice arenas would be considered "public business,"
subject to the prohibitions in Minnesota Statutes, section 645.44. In this regard, the
ice areas are owned and operated by the cities and School District. Work to
maintain the property and make it available for use is performed by public
employees. The fee from renting the property goes directly to the cities and school
district that impacts the overall benefit of the finances of these entities and the
citizens of these jurisdictions. Thus, if the factors in Kantack were applied to the
question at hand as well as the general guidance from the attorney general, MDE

and the League of Minnesota Cities, it is unlikely that the sale of ice time by the
cities and school district for their own profit would be seen as a private business
that could be conducted on a public holiday.
III. Situations of Necessity that May Permit Government Operations on Holidays
As set forth above, in addition to situations where the government is not acting on
a matter of "public business," government entities still may provide services on
holidays in the case of "necessity." Minn. Stat. § 645.44, subd. 5(a); see also
Kantack, supra. Here, too, the statute similarly does not explain what constitutes a
"necessity."
The courts have held, however, that the power to act on a holiday depends on
some preliminary fact giving rise to necessity. See Ingelson v. Olson, 272 N.W.
270, 275 (Minn. 1937). There is limited legal authority that describes situations
where facts existed that support that the performance of public services are within
the exception of "necessity." One example is emergency services. In this regard,
the attorney general has opined that the "[d]uties of firemen and policemen are
within the exception of"in cases of necessity." Minn. Op. Atty. Gen. 276 (Jan. 16,
1957). Where a contractual requirement exists related to the performance of duties
on a discretionary holiday, such as Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly known as
Columbus Day), this fact has authorized schools to require teachers to perform
their duties. See Skeim v. Indep. Sch. Dist. No. 115, 234 N.W.2d 806 (Minn. 1975)
(note that this exception is based on the specific statutory powers granted to
schools). Courts have been presumed to act as a matter of necessity in continuing
with a certain types of trials (generally criminal proceedings where there is a
constitutional right to a speedy trial) when a holiday occurs within the time set for
the proceedings. See State v. Sorenson, 19 N.W. 738 (Minn. 1884) (Washington's
Birthday); State v. Salverson, 91 N.W. 1 (Minn. 1902) (Memorial Day); Fureseth
v. Great Northern Railway Co., 103 N.W. 499 (Minn. 1905) (Memorial Day).
Thus, there are times that a city and/or school district may find it necessary to
provide public services. As noted, it would be appropriate and authorized for a city
to provide police and other health, safety and emergency services. A school
district or a city also can likely authorize employees to perform limited services on
holidays to ensure that continued operations of the entities properties are not
negatively impacted, such as requiring limited staff to keep a building maintained
in the cold or in an emergency such as a water main break.
While the courts and other authorities have left much discretion for the decision
that services are a necessity in the hands of the governing board, this does not
mean that this decision is beyond challenge or can be made informally. There are
several court decisions and attorney general opinions that direct that decisions as
to the operation of governmental services should be made by the governing board.

Thus, if the Joint Powers Board were to determine that it must keep the ice areas
open as a matter of necessity, the Board would need to deliberate and provide
reasoning based upon some factual evidence as to why it is declaring that such
services are a public necessity, keeping all of the factors set forth above in mind.
Absent such a determination, while public entities generally are presumed to be
acting only as necessary, continuing to operate on a public holiday could lead to
claims that are less defendable.
IV. Penalty for Violations of Minnesota Statutes, Section 645.44
Minnesota Statutes, section 645.44, does not provide a specific penalty for
violating the statute. The Minnesota Attorney General, however, has opined that in
view of the statutory prohibition against the transaction of any public business on
a legal holiday, a meeting of the city council, if held on a holiday, would not be
valid nor would any action taken on that day. See Minn. Op. Atty. Gen., 276
(April 11, 1939). It is possible, therefore, that a contract for the exchange of
consideration, such a lease for the use of the ice arenas on Juneteenth, similarly
could be held invalid and unenforceable. Thus, the other party to the lease contract
could declare the contract to be void and the fee to be uncollectable. Requiring
employees to work on a public holiday, absent necessity, could give rise to claims
by the employees that such an obligation is impermissible and unenforceable.
Taxpayers may bring suit seeking an injunction to block an expenditure of
government services to a private entity that is not for a public purpose generally.
See, e.g., Burns v. Esseling, 194 N.W. 404, 405 (Minn. 1923). Thus, absent
application of the exceptions set forth above, there is legal and financial risk for
the Joint Powers Board if it contracts for the use of its facilities or otherwise
allows its programs to operate on a legal holiday.
Another risk the parties should keep in mind is that even if it could prevail on
supporting the need to operate the ice arenas on Juneteenth, questions may be
raised as to why it is necessary to operate the arena on Juneteenth, a day to
recognize the abolition of slavery, but is not necessary when it comes to
recognizing the birthdays of Caucasian presidents or Christian holidays such as
Christmas. Thus, keeping these services open could form the basis for a claim of
discrimination, which entails the expenditure of funds to defend and possible
financial liability and raises broader political controversies.
CONCLUSION
While there is no definitive authority that provides that the Joint Powers Board cannot
legally rent out its facilities on Juneteenth, the statutory interpretations that do exist tend
to support the position that such action is not permissible. Renting the facilities entails
more than simply contracting to allow an entity to use public property, such as leasing out
government owned equipment over which no oversight is needed (i.e., ice skates). In
STMA Arena Board 05/13/24 21
Douglas Birk April 8, 2024 Page 9 of 9
contrast, it requires the Joint Powers Board to open and staff its facility. Such rental also
does not entail the same type of public services that have been found to be a necessity,
such as emergency police, fire, paramedic services or requiring one employee to report
on site to make sure boilers or other equipment are properly operating to avoid building
damage or loss of operations. Thus, the conservative approach would be for the Joint
Powers board, as well as each individual government entity, to close all public operation
of its facilities on nondiscretionary holidays, such as Juneteenth. Failing to do so could
expose Albertville, St. Michael and the School District to potential claims and financial
liability.
