Sherburn council adopts updated workplace safety policy and credit-card use policy
Summary
Council approved a revised AARE (Accident and Injury Reduction) safety program updated from a 1998 version to align with Minnesota OSHA and the League of Minnesota Cities, and adopted a credit-card use policy (citing Minn. Stat. 471.382) including cards for the liquor store manager and ambulance director.
The Sherburn City Council voted March 16 to update its AARE (Accident and Injury Reduction) workplace safety program and to adopt a new credit-card use policy.
Staff told the council the AARE program on file dated to 1998; the rewritten program aligns city procedures with Minnesota OSHA requirements and the League of Minnesota Cities guidance. Council moved, seconded and approved the updated AARE policy.
Council also reviewed a credit-card use policy that follows Minnesota Statute 471.382 and establishes internal controls for municipal purchasing. Staff proposed, and council approved, adding two additional cards—one for the liquor store manager and one for the ambulance director—to reduce personal out-of-pocket purchases followed by reimbursements; the policy retains accounting standards and controls for purchases.
Both policies were adopted by voice vote during the regular agenda; no dissenting arguments were recorded in the meeting transcript.
