Section 2.64. Crimi-

Subdivision 1. Pur-

intent of this subdivi-
sion is to establish re-
gulations that will allow
law enforcement ac-
cess to Minnesota' s
Computerized Criminal

specified non - criminal
purposes of criminal
history background in-
vestigations. The New

ment shall be the ex-
clusive entity within
the City to conduct
such criminal history
background investiga-
tions. The persons and
entities who may be
the subjects of such
investigations are:
A. Applicants for
part-time or full-time
employment, volunteer
firefighter positions,
volunteer police
reserve officers posi-
tions, and any posi-
tions that work with
children or vulnerable

New Ulm or the New
Ulm Public Utilities.
The requirement of
such investigation is
subject to the provi-
sions of Minnesota
Statutes Section
364.021( a). Applicants
or nominees for City
boards and commis-
sions, whether or not
those positions are
compensated, shall
not be considered ap-
plicants for employ-
ment under this provi-
sion.
B. Applicants for a
liquor license or permit
issued by the City
under Chapter 5 of this
City Code. For this
purpose, the term
"applicant" means an
individual or business
organization to which
the license or permit is
requested to be is-
sued, and also any in-
dividual or organization
with ownership, con-
trol, or management
rights or authority in
connection with an ap-
plicant business or-
ganization, and any in-
dividual who is desig-
nated in the application
as a resident agent.

this purpose,

tance is being received

cludes all persons
named or to be named

sons, age 18 and old-
er, residing in or ap-
plying for tenancy in a
rental housing unit.
The authority to con-
duct background in-
vestigations for the ap-
plicants described
above shall not be
construed as an obli-
gation to do so. Other
than applicants for
whom federal law or
regulation, state law or
regulation, or other
provision of this City
Code requires such in-
vestigation, the deci-
sion whether to con-
duct a background in-
vestigation for a partic-
ular applicant, position,
license, or tenancy
shall be discretionary.

thorized to be ac-
cessed. In conducting
the criminal history
background investiga-
tion in order to screen

the Police Department

and acquired shall be
maintained at the Pol-
ice Department under
the care and custody
of the chief law en-
forcement official or
that official's designee.
A summary of the

plicant authorizes the
same by written con-

sent must fully comply
with the provisions of
Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 13 regarding
the collection, mainte-
nance, and use of the
information. Failure by
the applicant to pro-
vide such written con-
sent shall constitute a
basis to reject the ap-
plication.
Subd. 4. Rejection of
applicant resulting
from investigation.
Except for the posi-
tions set forth in Min-
nesota Statutes Sec-
tion 364.09, the City

cant on the basis of

employment, license,
or assistance sought
and the conviction is

misdemeanor, or mis-
demeanor with a jail
sentence. If the City
rejects or denies an
applicant on the basis

background investiga-
tion, the City shall no-
