SharonAnderson v St.PaulPoliceTomSmith_Don Luna
However there is one such case that the landlords have held on for something like eight years now. After the Federal Eighth CIrcuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion favorable to the landlords, the city of St Paul has petitioned the US Supreme Court for review (link to petition for review). You can read the amended original complaint that started this case here.
If the Supreme Court hears this case it will have a huge impact on all landlords who follow fair housing practices, i.e. don’t reject tenants tenants simply because they are a different color, nationality, religion, etc than their neighbors. One must really respect these property owners for the amount of sacrifice they have made to get this far.
The case alleges that St Paul housing inspection programs were used in a racially motivated manner to force racial minorities out of St Paul and that such actions violated the Fair Housing rights of the occupants. A very interesting point is a number of city employees including inspectors are on the hook personally in this suit. From a legal perspective they must defend
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The issue of whether disparate impact analysis
applies to the Fair Housing Act has been percolating
among the circuits for two decades. In 2005, this
Court provided guidance to the question in Smith u.
City of Jackson, Miss. , 544 U.S. 228 (2005). In Smith,
a disparate impact theory of liability was found
cognizable under the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act (ADEA) based on the "identical text"
found in § 70 3(a)(2) of Title VI I and § 4(a)(2) of the
ADEA. In the case at bar, the petition for rehearing en
bane was denied, but the five judge dissent recognized
this important and timely issue and found that the
text in both the ADEA and Title VII contains
triggering language for a disparate impact analy sisqoB7

Racially Based Code Enforcement Case reaches US Supreme Court
Posted: 22 Feb 2011 03:50 AM PST
It is a sad reality that many communities use code enforcement to promote an illegal racially motivated agenda. The ACLU outlines their view of the problem in an article, Renting While Black.
We see it here in Milwaukee where at least one Alderman appears to use Aldermanic Service Requests in a way that only the ku klux klan would be proud of.
Even if so called community leaders are not actively involved in the racially motivated inspections, a complaint based code enforcement that permits anonymous exterior complaints opens the door for neighbors to promote their biases through code enforcement
There have been a number of federal lawsuits over the years alleging racially motivated code enforcement. A list of some of those cases can be found here.
Typically if a case gets to the point that the property owners may win the municipality quickly and quietly settles. Usually not for the full compensation for the harm caused by the racially motivated enforcement. But lets face it, it takes a lot of financial and mental tenacity for a small landlord to slug it out against cities with seemingly endless resources to defend their bad behavior.
However there is one such case that the landlords have held on for something like eight years now. After the Federal Eighth CIrcuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion favorable to the landlords, the city of St Paul has petitioned the US Supreme Court for review (link to petition for review). You can read the amended original complaint that started this case here.
If the Supreme Court hears this case it will have a huge impact on all landlords who follow fair housing practices, i.e. don’t reject tenants tenants simply because they are a different color, nationality, religion, etc than their neighbors. One must really respect these property owners for the amount of sacrifice they have made to get this far.
The case alleges that St Paul housing inspection programs were used in a racially motivated manner to force racial minorities out of St Paul and that such actions violated the Fair Housing rights of the occupants. A very interesting point is a number of city employees including inspectors are on the hook personally in this suit. From a legal perspective they must defend themselves as they and their employer have disparate interest; for the city to win if the allegations are proven true they must claim rogue employees acting outside of the law. For the inspectors to win they must argue that they were following instructions that they believed were legal. The inspectors may have a hard time claiming ignorance however as the owners had provided the inspectors with documentation that the inspectors’ acts were contrary to Fair Housing, yet the inspectors continued with their agenda. At some point the inspectors will have to name their union as third party defendants as the union failed to stop management from allowing/forcing them to violate the rights of the tenants and owners
From my conversations with two of the plaintiffs over the past six or seven years they seem to be just a handful of hard working landlords who independently found themselves on the losing end of government behaving badly. The current case is a consolidation of three or four cases that started independent of each other, but the claims were so similar that the federal court combined them.
Most of the cases claimed RICO (racketeering) on the part of the city employees. The RICO elements were dismissed due to procedural errors. I’m certain that some future case will go to trial on that issue, whether in St Paul or somewhere else.

TO: Members of the Saint Paul Charter Commission
FROM: Joseph Mansky
Ramsey County Elections Manager
SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS TO IMPLEMENT RANKED VOTING IN CITY ELECTIONS
The 2011 city general election will be the first election in which voters will choose candidates based on the ranked voting method. Although the charter amendment authorizing this voting method was approved in 2009, a few additional changes are desirable in order to implement the new voting method in an efficient and effective fashion.
1. Candidate filing period
In 2009, Congress enacted the Military and Overseas Voters Empowerment (MOVE) Act, which extended the period of time for mailing absentee ballots to voters serving in the armed forces or residing overseas from 30 to 45 days. Accordingly, the legislature changed the filing dates for candidates to provide adequate time for the preparati
2. Candidate filing fee
The candidate filing fee for mayor and council member has not been changed since 1972, when all council members were elected at large. Given the new costs to be incurred in the administration of the runoff phase of city elections, it may be worthwhile to raise the fees paid by candidates to gain a place on the general election ballot. These fees could be used to help defray the costs of the runoff. The filing fee is currently $50 for both mayor and council member. If adjusted for inflation over the past 38 years, the currently value of that amount is approximately $262. Accordingly, a filing fee of $250 for candidates for council member and $500 for candidates for mayor may be appropriate. Proposed language to amend the charter appears below.
7.04. Name on primary ballot.
Each person desiring to have his or her name placed on the primary ballot for councilmember shall state in the affidavit of candidacy the district for which he or she is a candidate. The filing fee for the office of mayor is $500. The filing fee for the office of councilmember is $250. Filing fees must be used for the administration of the city general election and any runoff that is required.
Please let me know if you have any questions about either of these proposals.

Jerry Hendrickson
on of absentee ballots. Minn. Stat. § 205.13, subd. 1a now requires cities without a primary to open their filing period for candidates from 91 days to 77 days before the general election. The charter should be amended to reflect this change. Proposed language to amend the charter appears below.7.04. Name on primary ballot.
An affidavit of candidacy may be filed for the offices of mayor and councilmember not more than 91 days nor less than 77 days before the general election. Each person desiring to have his or her name placed on the primary ballot for councilmember shall state in the affidavit of candidacy the district for which he or she is a candidate.
