MEMORANDUM
TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
FROM: Michael Mondor, Chief of EMS
DATE: October 10, 2016
SUBJECT: Regions EMS Medical Direction presentation
Introduction
Regions Hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provides pre-hospital Medical Direction
and oversight for all of Maplewood EMS providers. It is helpful for City Council and residents to
be introduced to Regions Hospital EMS physicians and staff as their services are an extension
of Maplewood Fire/EMS and the City of Maplewood.
Background
In January of 2016 the City Council authorized the formation of a Fire/EMS workgroup to study
the City’s current Fire/EMS delivery model. Regions Hospital EMS presented to the Fire/EMS
workgroup on April 1, 2016. The presentation was received extremely well by the Fire/EMS
workgroup and department staff.
Based on the Fire/EMS workgroup’s strategic framework and the Fire/EMS department’s
operational framework, staff recommended to City Council that they approve a Pre-Hospital
Medical Direction Services Agreement between the City of Maplewood and Regions Hospital.
City Council approved entering this agreement on 8/22/2016. Regions Hospital EMS began
providing Pre-Hospital Medical Direction on 9/12/2016.
Maplewood EMS and Regions Hospital EMS have begun to collaborate on a number of
projects. Staff believes that it is useful to facilitate a presentation to allow City Council and
residents to understand the capacity of Regions EMS and the partnership potential that exists.
Regions Hospital EMS will deliver an approximately 20 minute overview followed by a question
answer session.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
FROM: Mike Funk, Assistant City Manager/HR Director
DATE: October 4, 2016
SUBJECT: Discuss Strategies for Labor Negotiations, Including Negotiation Strategies,
Development, and Discussion of Labor Negotiation Proposals for all Seven (7) of
the City’s Collective Bargaining Agreements.
a. Intent to Close Meeting as Allowed by Minnesota State Statute
13D.03(b)
Introduction
The purpose of this discussion is to discuss strategies, review offers received from the
bargaining units, analyze fiscal considerations, and to develop negotiation positions for counter
proposal(s) for all seven (7) bargaining units.
Background
There are approximately 170 benefit earning employees that belong to one (1) of seven (7)
collective bargaining units. Each bargaining unit has a collective bargaining agreement (CBA),
or more commonly referred to as a ‘union contract’, with the City of Maplewood. Each of these
seven (7) contracts will terminate on December 31, 2016. In the past couple of weeks I have
met individually with each of the bargaining units, with the exception of MCSA, as an initial
discussion regarding specific points they desire to negotiate.
The following is a list of the bargaining units:
Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local 173, Police Sergeants
Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local 153, Police Officers
Maplewood Confidential & Supervisory Group (MCSA)
Minnesota AFSCME Council 5, Local 2725
The Metro Supervisory Group (MSA)
International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 4470, Fire Fighters
International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 4470, Fire Officers
There are seven exceptions to the open meeting law that authorize the closure of meetings to
the public. Minnesota Statutes Section 13D.05 allows the meeting to be closed to consider
strategies for labor negotiations, including negotiation strategies or development or discussion
of labor-negotiation proposals.
Recommendation
Before the meeting is closed, the council must state on the record the specific grounds
permitting the meeting to be closed and describe the subject to be discussed. Therefore, it is
recommended the City Council introduce the following motion:
