(A) State law requires that thorough background investigations be completed for some city positions, such as peace officers. The City Council finds that a background investigation on all prospective employees, as well as city license holders is good practice.
(B) Background investigations on all employees and city license holders, as described herein, will help to protect the reputation of the city by having knowledge of, and understanding of, prospective employees and city license holders and their prior history.
(C) The background investigation on all prospective employees and city license holders is intended to ensure the safety and welfare of all residents, employees, and community members associated with North St. Paul employees, and city license holders.
