A. Nonemployment Applicants:
1. The City will, at its sole discretion, determine whether or not the results of a criminal background investigation for nonemployment applications are acceptable.
2. If criminal background investigations for nonemployment applications are questionable, the final decision as to whether or not results are acceptable to the City shall be made by the City Administrator, in consultation with the City Attorney or other appropriate parties.
3. The City will notify nonemployment applicants that the criminal background investigation has been successfully completed or that the results have disqualified them. (Prior Code § 2-8-7)
B. Employment Applicants: Except for the positions set forth in Minnesota Statutes section 364.09, the City will not reject an applicant for employment on the basis of the applicant's prior conviction unless the crime is directly related to the position of employment sought and the conviction is for a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor with a jail sentence. If the City rejects the applicant's request on this basis, the City shall notify the applicant in writing of the following:
1. The grounds and reasons for the denial.
2. The applicant complaint and grievance procedure set forth in Minnesota Statutes section 364.06.
3. The earliest date the applicant may reapply for employment or issuance of a license.
