CONSENT # ~ ~ ~ I <br />CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING AMENDED GUIDELINES AND <br />PROCEDURES FOR THE MINNESOTA DATA PRACTICES ACT <br />By: Jessica L. Hendricks, Management Intern <br />Background• <br />City staff has updated the Guidelines and Procedures for the Minnesota Data Practices Act for <br />the. City. There were two changes to the document. <br />• The updated document now includes a definition of government data.. Previously, this <br />definition was not included; the policy simply listed the different types of government <br />data. <br />• The document has also been updated to reflect changes in the Responsible Authority and <br />Compliance Official. <br />State law requires that cities adopt written public access procedures each year as necessary to <br />reflect any changes in personnel or circumstances that might affect public access to <br />government data. The League of Minnesota Cities recommends that cities should review and <br />possibly amend the public document detailing the city's data-practices procedures after each <br />legislative session, since the Legislature has historically amended the Minnesota Government <br />Data Practices Act (MGDPA) every session. A resolution with the guidelines is attached for the <br />Council's consideration. <br />Funding Source: <br />There is no cost associated with the resolution. <br />Council Action: <br />Adopt Resolution # 10-02-XXX Adopting Guidelines and Procedures for the Minnesota Data <br />Practices Act. <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Clerk <br />Deputy City Administrat r ire to of C unity Development <br />City Administrator: <br />CC: 02/09/2010 <br />
