Scope and Methodology This report shows the expenditures by local governments and their associations for lobbyists and lobbying. The report is prepared in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 6.76 (2011), which states:

(a) On or before January 31 of each year, all political subdivisions shall report to the state auditor, on forms prescribed by the auditor, their estimated expenditures paid for the previous calendar year to a lobbyist as defined in section 10A.01, subdivision 21, except payments to associations of political subdivisions that are reported under paragraph (b), and to any staff person not registered as a lobbyist, over 25 percent of whose time is spent during the legislative session on legislative matters. (b) Associations of political subdivisions subject to this section shall report annually, on or before January 31, to the state auditor and the association's members the proportionate amount of each member's dues spent for lobbying purposes. (c) For purposes of this section, "political subdivision" has the meaning given in section 6.465, but also includes a metropolitan or regional agency or a public corporation audited by the legislative auditor.

The Office of the State Auditor has collected and published data on the lobbying services costs of local governments since 1989. This report summarizes expenditures on local government lobbying services during the calendar year 20111 and is intended to inform the public and policymakers of the amount spent by their local government on lobbying services. The reporting forms used to collect information on the expenditures by local governments and their associations for lobbyists and lobbying are presented as appendices in this report starting on page 377. The list of local government associations was developed by reviewing all associations that were registered with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. While the Office of the State Auditor attempted to identify all associations of local governments and provide them forms to fulfill their reporting requirement, it is the responsibility of the associations to comply with the reporting requirement. The expenditures on lobbying services are the amounts self-reported by local governments and local government associations.

1While the law requires associations to report on a calendar year, certain associations continue to report on their own fiscal years.

Executive Summary

Local governments spent a total of $8,302,810 on lobbying activities in 2011. This represents an increase of $54,817, or 0.7 percent, over the amount spent on lobbying services in 2010 (pg. 5).

Eighty-two local governments (five more than in 2010) reported that they directly employed

staff or hired contract lobbyists in 2011. These local governments spent a total of $3,995,958 on staff and contract lobbyists.2 This was $59,692, or 1.5 percent, more than in 2010 (pg. 5).

In addition to the approximately $4.0 million paid directly to staff and contract lobbyists,

local governments paid dues of $10,305,732 in 2011 to local government associations that also represented their interests before legislative, administrative, or other governmental bodies.3 These associations spent $4,306,852 on lobbyists and lobbying in 2011. This represents a decrease of 0.1 percent from 2010. Of the $4.3 million spent on lobbyists and lobbying by these associations, $3,922,830 was funded exclusively through dues. This represents a decrease of 1.8 percent from the $3,995,169 in association dues that were spent on lobbying activities in 2010 (pg. 5).

2These expenditures do not include dues and membership fees paid to local government associations. 3The local government associations identified in this report do not include various professional associations that lobby on behalf of specific professional occupations within local governments. For example, Education Minnesota is registered with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. However, because the association does not directly represent school districts or school district management personnel, its lobbying expenditures are not included in this report.

Overview The operation and funding of local governments can be greatly affected by decisions made by the state Legislature. Therefore, it is understandable that those affected by these decisions would want to have representation during the legislative process. This report documents the level of expenditures made by local governments and their associations to perform this function. According to reports filed with the Office of the State Auditor, local governments spent a total of $8,302,810 on lobbying activities in 2011. This represents an increase of $54,817, or 0.7 percent, over the amount spent on lobbying services in 2010. Eighty-two local governments (five more than in 2010) reported that they directly employed staff or hired contract lobbyists in 2011. These local governments spent a total of $3,995,958 on staff and contract lobbyists.4 This was $59,692, or 1.5 percent, more than in 2010. Staff and contract lobbyists are paid to provide information to policymakers to influence legislative, administrative, or official actions regarding units of local government in Minnesota. In addition to the approximately $4.0 million paid directly to staff and contract lobbyists, local governments paid dues of $10,305,732 in 2011 to local government associations that also represented their interests before legislative, administrative, or other governmental bodies.5 These associations spent $4,306,852 on lobbyists and lobbying in 2011. This represents a decrease of 0.1 percent from 2010. Of the $4.3 million spent on lobbyists and lobbying by these associations, $3,922,830 was funded exclusively through dues. This represents a decrease of 1.8 percent from the $3,995,169 in association dues that were spent on lobbying activities in 2010.

4These expenditures do not include dues and membership fees paid to local government associations. 5The local government associations identified in this report do not include various professional associations that lobby on behalf of specific professional occupations within local governments. For example, Education Minnesota is registered with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. However, because the association does not directly represent school districts or school district management personnel, its lobbying expenditures are not included in this report.

Expenditures on local government lobbying increased 0.7 percent between 2010 and 2011.

Lobbying Services Expenditures by Local Governments Staff and Contract Lobbyists Eighty-two local governments, including cities, counties, school districts, and special districts, directly employed staff and/or contracted with professional lobbyists to represent their interests before the Legislature. Table 4 on pages 15 - 22 shows the payments made to these employees and hired professional staff as well as other costs attributable to lobbying efforts. Figure 1 below shows the 2011 percentage of total expenditures on staff and contract lobbyists by type of entity.

Reliance on Contract Lobbyists Local governments more frequently use contract lobbyists than utilize their own staff to provide lobbying services. Contract lobbyists accounted for $2,593,492, or 64.9 percent, of the total amount spent by those governments using contract or staff lobbyists. Local governments spent $1,238,197 on staff lobbyists to represent their interests before the Legislature and other governmental bodies. In addition, local governments reported an additional $114,269 in overhead costs related to lobbying services in 2011. During 2011:

four local governments relied entirely on their staff to represent them at the Legislature, compared to 3 in 2010;

sixty-nine local governments relied entirely on contract lobbyists to represent their interests,

compared to 62 in 2010; and

nine local governments hired contract lobbyists and used their own staff for lobbying, compared to 12 in 2010.

Trends in Expenditures for Staff and Contract Lobbyists The number of entities that reported expenditures on contract and staff lobbyists increased from 77 in 2010 to 82 in 2011. There were 11 entities that reported lobbying expenditures in 2010 that reported no lobbying expenditures in the 2011 reporting period. There were 16 entities reporting lobbying expenditures in 2011 that reported no lobbying expenditures in the 2010 reporting period. The change in composition of those entities reporting affected the overall increase in the amount spent on contract and employee lobbyists between 2010 and 2011. Figure 3 below shows the long-term trend of expenditures on staff and contract lobbyists for the years 2007 to 2011.

Lobbying Services Expenditures by Associations While 82 local governments opted to hire lobbyists or use staff to lobby on their behalf, it is much more common for them to rely on various local government associations to represent their interests at the Legislature. These local government associations receive the majority of their funding from membership dues and other public funds. Some associations representing local governments not only lobby on behalf of their members, but also act as service associations. Groups such as the League of Minnesota Cities and the Association of Minnesota Counties provide a wide range of services to their members. For these associations, lobbying services account for a smaller share of their overall expenditures as compared to associations whose primary purpose is lobbying. Other types of associations are formed for the explicit purpose of lobbying the Legislature on a specific issue or range of issues for which the members share a common interest. Most of these associations hire a lobbyist or a lobbying firm to influence legislative, administrative, or other official actions at the state, regional, or metropolitan level of government. The dues paid by members of these associations generally represent a percentage of the total amount paid to a contract lobbyist. Trends in Lobbying Services Expenditures Made by Associations Twenty-six associations representing local governments reported expenditures on lobbying services totaling $4,306,852 for 2011. Of the $4.3 million spent on lobbyists and lobbying, $3,922,830, or 91.1 percent, was funded through the dues of the association members. Total expenditures for lobbying/lobbyists by associations decreased $4,875, or 0.1 percent, from the level expended in 2010. Figure 4 shows total expenditures on lobbying services by associations from 2007 to 2011.

Association Lobbying by Type of Entity The associations reporting lobbying expenditures included:

ten associations that represented the interests of cities;

four associations that represented the interests of counties;

five associations that represented the interests of school districts;

one association that represented the interests of townships;

three associations that represented the interests of special districts; and

three associations that represented more than one type of local government. Multiple Association Memberships While it is common for local governments to belong to at least one association, some local units belong to several. Of the 3,130 local units of government that belonged to at least one association, there were 118 local units of government that paid dues to three or more associations. The number of governments listed is significantly higher than the previous year due to the inclusion of the Minnesota Association of Townships (MAT) members. MAT had previously provided only summary information for the association rather than for its individual members. Figure 5 shows the percentage of local governments that belong to one or more associations.
