HENNEPIN COUNTY CONTRACT NO. A142289 WITH THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN,
STATE OF MINNESOTA FOR SENTENCING TO SERVICE (STS) PROGRAM
SERVICES THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2016
WHEREAS, Hennepin County Community Corrections operates the Sentencing
to Service (STS) general work program, which uses offenders who are working off
court-ordered obligations for low level offenses; and
WHEREAS, many other cities participate successfully in this program including
Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Mn/DOT and Three Rivers Park
District; and

clean up after the Fourth of July celebration and to help with occasional labor intensive
projects that helps reduce the number of full-time staff needed to accomplish these
tasks; and
WHEREAS, STS crews provide an excellent service at a very inexpensive cost
that could not be obtained elsewhere.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Richfield Mayor and City
Manager are hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the City of Richfield to
