Record Requested: To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any and all records from the past two years (July 2021-July 2023) regarding "crime-free" housing and nuisance property ordinances that will be referred to as “program” and "ordinance" respectively, in this request but could be known (but not limited to) as “Crime Free Housing Program” and "User Charge for Excessive Consumption of Police Services" as described in St. Paul's Code of Ordinances Chapter 267.

Please provide any and all written records (including but not limited to hard-copy documents, memos, emails, word processor documents, PDF documents, PowerPoint files, images files, video files etc.) regarding the Program and Ordinance including but not limited to:

• any training/presentation materials used in communication, promotions, workshops, seminars, etc

• all documents concerning the passage of the nuisance ordinance and any amendments to it, including communications with City elected officials, city staff, and others, and any data relied upon or reviewed as a part of the passage or amendments to the nuisance ordinance since July 2021 to present.
