16 BARSUHN barsuhn.com 527 MARQUETTE AVENUE SUITE 1300 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA III MEMORANDUM 07 JUNE, 2018 TO: KRISTIN ASHER FROM: SCOTT BARSUHN RE: MN 2050 / APWA - ADVOCACY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNICATION PLAN BUDGET MN 2050: Everybody s Minnesota The people of Minnesota have a general sense that infrastructure investment has lagged. Our state is unique in that the failure of the 35W bridge is a painful and pivotal memory, commemorated on news reports each year. But no one has put a plan into place to tap Minnesotans shared commitment to infrastructure investment or leveraged the outrage over that event to make positive and long-lasting change. A coordinated effort and communication plan among APWA-MN members can influence inspire sway mobilize and ignite Minnesota s diverse population. Participants / Sponsors - APWA-MN - Other public works professionals across the state Audience / Stakeholders - General public, including adults, students, and children - Legislators - Community leaders (including rural leaders) - Individual cities and municipalities Goals - Harness the power of people who already value infrastructure investment and engage the public to be advocates - Educate the people who don t yet prioritize the need for infrastructure spending - Persuade those people who were opposed to expenditure - Create a groundswell of demand - Move legislators to action (by generating excitement and expectations) - Educate/inform Drivers private vehicles, transit, and freight MTC Business owners Farmers Parents and grandparents Teachers and students elementary, middle, high schools Universities (engineering, journalism, etc.) Trade schools continued

17 BARSUHN MEMORANDUM / 07 JUNE, 2018 MN 2050 / APWA - ADVOCACY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNICATION / PAGE 2 - Make infrastructure a conversation in diverse media (including social media) - Develop strategies and a campaign that is creative, eye-catching, and irresistible - Tap into networks of stakeholders (who can involve their contacts in the work) Messages - Importance and urgency of investment now and over time - The consequences of inaction - Quality of life is tied to healthy infrastructure - We all benefit - History of infrastructure development in MN ( it s time ) - Infrastructure renewal brings jobs to our state (during construction/repair and after) Tone - Nonpolitical and nonpartisan - State proud - Inclusive (speak to diverse audiences) - Warm and conversational - Exciting, positive, fun - Transparent and authentic Engagement Tools & Strategies Public: Adults - Stories (How are lives positively/negatively affected by our state s infrastructure?) - Increase followers: Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook - Postcards alerting advocates to upcoming deadlines, opportunities to encourage legislators - Articles (Linkedin, etc.) for sharing (involve APWA-MN members) - Neighborhood events - Involve community leaders - Reach out to neighborhood block clubs - Create an online quiz for Facebook ( How important is state infrastructure in your life? ) - Post photos of local disasters or improvements for sharing (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) - Originate online petitions or calling campaigns that can be used to communicate with legislators - Campaign pins (encourage solidarity among stakeholders) - State Fair booth/activities - Pop up booths at local events, fairs, etc. - Sponsorship of events - Podcasts - Blogs Public: Children/Students - Mascot - Presentations in schools - Partnership experiences between students and APWA-MN or other public works offices continued

18 BARSUHN MEMORANDUM / 07 JUNE, 2018 MN 2050 / APWA - ADVOCACY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNICATION / PAGE 3 - Opportunities for high school and university students to apply their unique gifts to the problem of communicating Minnesota s infrastructure opportunity. Engage them in sharing their concerns with their networks. - Children s picture book (ebook or printed) - Children s coloring book or pages - Teaching curriculum - Animated short (also appealing to adults) for multiple use: fairs, online, in-schools Legislators - White papers - Printed brochures - letters forms from constituents Measurable Outcome - By 2050, move Minnesota from a D to a B average on report card Next Steps (by August) - 1 page infographic for officials and the public - Completed communication plan ready for rollout of the campaign and individual projects Communication Plan Budget Range (estimated): $13,000 - $18,000 This plan would communicate and demonstrate, with examples, the goals, messages, tone, tools and strategies outlined in this memorandum. A percentage of the actual creative messaging that would be needed for campaign implementation would be included. Actual implementation (production design of final, individual projects, copywriting, printing, programming, fabrication, etc., would be additional, but can meet overall budget goals.

19 V.A Attendees Kristin Asher, President Russ Matthys, Secretary/Treasurer Chris Petree, Past President Jeannine Clancy, Delegate Lee Gustafson, Deputy Treasurer Pat Schutrop, Chapter Assistant Absent: Amy Grothaus, Vice President Conference call convened at 8:32 a.m. APWA-MN Executive Committee Officers Conference Call Minutes Friday, March 9, Feb. 9, 2018 Officers Conference Call Minutes (Asher) The minutes of the Feb. 9, 2018 officers conference call were received as presented. As follow-up to the minutes, Kristin talked to Sarah Lloyd about how recognition is handled for life members. Sarah said the life members are recognized by calling them to the front during the Awards portion of the Fall Conference. APWA sends the pins directly to the life members. 2. Financial Statements (Matthys/Gustafson) a. Account Details Lee reminded Russ to review the account details in preparation for his report to the Executive Committee at each meeting confirming the details are accurate. b. Chapter Statements For months ending: February 28, 2018 Financial Statements ($15,231.00) Merrill Lynch $154, The Chapter has about $10,000 in revenue coming in that will show on the next financial statement. The 2018 sponsorship program generally begins in late March and revenues from that campaign will start coming in by April/May. Lee also noted not all Fall Conference royalties have been received yet. The first amount received was about $18,000 and the outstanding amount is only about $2,000. Kristin thought Jupe Hale would give an update at the March 14 Executive Committee meeting regarding the U of M staffing changes and tasks that affect the revenues. The officers agreed it would be beneficial to have a clear understanding of the overall services provided by the U of M. Jeannine suggested talking through the Chapter revenue expectations for the spring and fall conferences with Jupe. Lee also noted the royalties from the 2018 Spring Conference will appear about when the new budget cycle starts. 1

20 ACTION: Kristin will follow up with Jupe about services provided by the U of M and ask him to give a summary at the March 14 meeting. 3. Accounting Subcommittee Update (Grothaus) Chris and Pat had a conference call with APWA financial staff, Justina Cox and Christina Carter on Friday, March 2. They learned that National decided not to include all the Region VI chapters in the new accounting pilot program but have three chapters testing the software. However, the testing chapters have not started using the software. During the conversation, it was also learned that all chapters will be required to use the new software. Once National gets feedback from the test group, they will make a report to the Board of Directors at PWX this summer, with the goal to get approval to roll out the software to a few of the chapters by December Minnesota is included in that rollout group. The officers are skeptical the December rollout will occur as projected. The Executive Committee approved a motion to open an account at Wings Financial and close out the account with Hiway Credit Union. Since that time, the subcommittee met with Wings and learned at that meeting that the Chapter is too large and Wings does not have the staff needed to oversee the account. Lee made a preliminary call to Wells Fargo to see if they would be able to service the Chapter s account and was told they could. The thought was to get the information confirmed so that Amy or Russ could present a motion to the Executive Committee on April 11 requesting approval to open the account with Wells Fargo. Lee recommends Jeannine get in touch with Scott Grayson to get clarity as to the software rollout to help the Chapter decide next steps. Jeannine will talk to Scott first and then request a conference call with Lee, Russ, Amy, Kristin, Chris, Jeannine and Pat. The plan was to discontinue accounting services with National by June 1 and all agree that should not change. The officers would like this resolved prior to the Spring Conference. ACTION: Jeannine talk to Scott first and tell him the group wants to discuss the chapter financial services. Pat will then coordinate a meeting that includes National, Lee, Amy, Kristin, Chris, Jeannine, Russ and Pat. The group will have agenda topics ready when the call is scheduled. POST MEETING ACTION: Scott asked to have Mary Knollmeyer, APWA Director of Finances, as the representative for APWA and Pat will coordinate the meeting with her and the group. 4. Strategic Plan (Asher) Kristin asked for comments from the officers regarding the tracking document attached to the Strategic Plan. Instead of discussing the plan at all Executive Committee meetings, Kristin proposes three check-in dates for discussion at Executive Committee meetings: June 13, September 12, and December 6. Russ suggested adding a #5, under Goal #1, Partner with peer professional organizations and STEM-support organizations to fully utilize shared resources. Russ is having conversations with AWWA and developing relationships with other organizations for the purpose of sharing resources. Jeannine added MCES has hired a communications consultant to develop wastewater infrastructure education material that she is willing to share with APWA once it is completed. Kristin said Beth Engum volunteered to help coordinate the strategic plan by connecting and supporting the champions assigned to each task. Kristin would like Beth to give the Strategic Plan updates at the check-in meetings. ACTION: Russ will forward the content he wants added to Goal #1 to Kristin. ACTION: Kristin will create a one-page document that includes the goals and outcomes listing only the bulleted items, so it can be put on the website. 2

Kristin pointed out the UST application states the students receiving the award will work closely with faculty and be engaged in local APWA programs and activities as well as help establish an APWA student chapter at UST. The Diversity Committee will be asking for approval of the applicant at the March 14 Executive Committee meeting. Lee reminded the officers the diversity grant process must be open and inclusive with a definitive scoring system for processing the grants, like the scholarship program. 6. MN2050 White Paper (Asher) Kristin, Russ and Amy attended the MN2050 partner meeting. MN2050 has written a White Paper and is asking the Chapter to approve it. The white paper is a call to action for its partners and the local industry to start advocating for infrastructure improvements. MN2050 is looking for comments and Kristin has some specific recommendations to forward to the group. They also want to have a one-page paper to distribute to legislators. The officers agreed sending the document to a communications expert would be beneficial. ACTION: Kristin will draft her comments and send out to the officers before sending to the MN Government Affairs Committee Update (Petree) The first committee meeting took place last week. The group thought it would be beneficial to meet with the League of Minnesota Cities and Metro Cities. Steve contacted them and they agreed to meet with the committee. Zach talked to the CEAM legislative group and they are also in favor of meeting with the committee. A next meeting is scheduled in April for follow up. The committee discussed in general terms what the charge of the committee will be but looking for more clarity after the meetings with LMC, Metro Cities and the CEAM legislative group.

The PAC will also want to purchase pens/pencils, and color books for the event. Should the group order through National or a separate vendor?
