1.2 Provider will exercise its best efforts to assist with Event security. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that resource availability requires Provider to exercise its
best judgment in prioritizing and responding to the public safety needs of its
jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the Event. That prioritization decision
belongs solely to Provider. The Provider may, at any time, recall the Provider’s
resources when, it is considered to be in Provider’s best interest to do so.

certification authority of the state in which the officer's appointing authority is
located.”
1.4 The MPD will coordinate and inform the SPPD and the BPD of staffing

Agreement the City has the sole discretion to decline to accept and/or use any of
Provider’s Licensed Peace Officers or other law enforcement resources without
cause or explanation.
2.3 The Provider agrees as follows:
2.3.1 As requested by MPD, Provider shall list information on each of
Provider’s Licensed Peace Officers no later than ninety (90) days before
the Event that includes, but is not limited to, name, rank, agency, badge

Said information shall be used strictly for law enforcement purposes
related to the Event and each Party will hold the data in the same
classification as the other does under the Minnesota Government Data
Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 (“MGDPA”); and
2.3.2. That upon reasonable advance written notification from the MPD, each of
Provider’s Licensed Peace Officers or other law enforcement resources so
designated by the MPD shall participate in training activities related to
Event security, that are coordinated or conducted by the MPD or its
designee; and
2.3.3. That each Licensed Peace Officer shall be assigned by the MPD, as
determined and required by the MPD, to any Event-related assignment
based on the Licensed Peace Officer’s skill-set and known duty
4
assignment as well as the needs of the operation; including, but not limited
to, foot patrol, motorized patrol, static posts at outdoor perimeters, general
security inside or outside venues, and traffic control; and
2.3.4. That Licensed Peace Officers participating in the Event may, if so

command and control coordinated through a unified law enforcement command
and following unified command principles and practices established throughout
the law enforcement community (herein referred to as “Unified Command”).
2.5 The Provider agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate and provide the
City, with any other information reasonably requested by the City that the City
deems necessary to facilitate and enable compliance with the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement.
2.6 Event staffing levels will be determined by the MPD as the lead law enforcement
agency and fiscal agent, in consultation with the Unified Command and the SPPD
for St. Paul Events and the BPD for Bloomington Events, regardless of the
location of the Event. Provider may increase the staffing levels at Events located
within the Provider’s jurisdiction: (a) at the sole cost of the Provider that hosts an
Event; and (b) with the knowledge that the additional Licensed Police Officers
and other staff members above the staffing level approved by the MPD and
Unified Command are not covered by the Policy as described in Section 9 of this
Agreement. The number of Licensed Peace Officers and other law enforcement
resources to be deployed within the Provider’s jurisdiction will be communicated
to the City as part of the Unified Command. Notwithstanding Section 2.4, the
Provider retains the sole discretion for determining what Provider Licensed Peace
5
Officer and other law enforcement resources will be deployed in its own
jurisdiction for events not included under this Agreement and remain under the
Provider’s own authority. The Provider’s Licensed Peace Officer and other law
enforcement resources deployed in the Provider’s jurisdiction and which are

Unified Command or remain under Provider’s authority for events not included
under this Agreement, will not be eligible for reimbursement of costs as provided
in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

Peace Officers (LPOs) assigned to the Events. Each Provider, including the
SPPD and BPD, will be responsible for providing accurate lists of its LPOs that
will be assignable to the Events as a result of signing this Agreement.

of this Agreement from the insurance to be procured by the Host Committee as
set out in Section 9.1 of this Agreement.
9.2.1 If a Party’s liability is not subject to recovery through the Policy, then
each Party agrees that it will otherwise be responsible for its own acts
and/or omissions and those of its officials, employees, representatives and
agents in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, whether those acts or
omissions occur within or outside of the jurisdiction or geographic limits
of the City of Minneapolis, and the results thereof to the extent authorized
by law and shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the
other Party and the results thereof.
11
9.2.2 In the unlikely event that the aggregate amount of any one or all claims

employees, representatives and agents in carrying out the terms of this
Agreement, whether those acts or omissions occur within or outside the of
the jurisdiction or geographic limits of the City of Minneapolis, and the

liability of each Provider that is a municipality, county or similar political
subdivision shall be limited by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466
(Tort Liability, Political Subdivisions) and the liability of the State of Minnesota
as a Provider shall be limited by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section
3.736 and by other applicable law. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
waive or amend, nor shall be construed to waive or amend any defense or
immunity that either Party, its respective officials and employees, may have under

limitation of liability, all of which are hereby reserved by the Parties that have
entered into this Agreement.
9.4 Provider Workers’ Compensation Insurance Required-Except as expressly
provided herein, each Party shall be responsible for injuries or death of its own
personnel. Each Party will maintain workers’ compensation insurance or self-
insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are providing
assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, each
Party waives the right to sue any other Party for any workers’ compensation
benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer or their dependents.
9.5 Provider Responsible for Own Equipment-Except as expressly provided herein,
each Party shall be responsible for damages to or loss of its own equipment.
Except as expressly provided herein, each Party waives the right to sue any other
Party for any damages to, or loss of its equipment.

at the scene of an accident or occurrence, no other medical assistance, expenses or
aid is covered under the Policy.

Each Provider in its relationship with the City under this Agreement is an
independent contractor. No Provider, its Licensed Peace Officers or other law
enforcement resources shall be considered an employee of the City. The City, its
Licensed Peace Officers or other law enforcement resources shall not be

performance of the Services. If good faith negotiations fail to resolve a dispute,
then the Parties will use mediation services to attempt to resolve the dispute.
The City and Provider will equally share the expense of the mediator.
The Parties will select a mediator by each submitting three names in rank order of
preference to the other Party. If there is no common name on each Party’s list,
then a neutral, third party, law enforcement representative that is not a party to
this Agreement will select a mediator for the Parties. If mediation fails to resolve
a dispute between Parties, then the Parties will resolve the dispute through
litigation.
