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 (2012), 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 20121 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 379. 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 $7,807,135 on lobbying activities in 2012. This represents a decrease of $495,675, or 6.0 percent, from the amount spent on lobbying services in 2011 (pg. 5).

Eighty-one local governments (one less than in 2011) reported that they directly employed

staff or hired contract lobbyists in 2012. These local governments spent a total of $3,928,419 on staff and contract lobbyists.2 This was $67,539, or 1.7 percent, less than in 2011 (pg. 5).

In addition to the $3.9 million paid directly to staff and contract lobbyists, local governments

paid dues of $10,601,645 in 2012 to local government associations that also represented their interests before legislative, administrative, or other governmental bodies.3 These associations spent $3,878,716 on lobbyists and lobbying in 2012. This represents a decrease of 9.9 percent from 2011. Of the $3.9 million spent on lobbyists and lobbying by these associations, $3,509,101 was funded exclusively through dues. This represents a decrease of 10.5 percent from the $3,922,830 in association dues that were spent on lobbying activities in 2011 (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 $7,807,135 on lobbying activities in 2012. This represents a decrease of $495,675, or 6.0 percent, from the amount spent on lobbying services in 2011. Eighty-one local governments (one less than in 2011) reported that they directly employed staff or hired contract lobbyists in 2012. These local governments spent a total of $3,928,419 on staff and contract lobbyists.4 This was $67,539, or 1.7 percent, less than in 2011. 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 $3.9 million paid directly to staff and contract lobbyists, local governments paid dues of $10,601,645 in 2012 to local government associations that also represented their interests before legislative, administrative, or other governmental bodies.5 These associations spent $3,878,716 on lobbyists and lobbying in 2012. This represents a decrease of 9.9 percent from 2011. Of the $3.9 million spent on lobbyists and lobbying by these associations, $3,509,101 was funded exclusively through dues. This represents a decrease of 10.5 percent from the $3,922,830 in association dues that were spent on lobbying activities in 2011.

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 decreased 6.0 percent between 2011 and 2012.

Lobbying Services Expenditures by Local Governments Staff and Contract Lobbyists Eighty-one 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 2012 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 $2,379,315, or 60.6 percent, of the total amount spent by those governments using contract or staff lobbyists. Local governments spent $1,146,376 on staff lobbyists to represent their interests before the Legislature and other governmental bodies. In addition, local governments reported an additional $402,728 in overhead costs related to lobbying services in 2012. During 2012:

four local governments relied entirely on their staff to represent them at the Legislature, the same as in 2011;

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

compared to 69 in 2011; and

ten local governments hired contract lobbyists and used their own staff for lobbying, compared to 9 in 2011.

Lobbying Services Expenditures by Associations While 81 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 $3,878,716 for 2012. Of this amount, $3,509,101, or 90.5 percent, was funded through the dues of the association members. Total expenditures for lobbying/lobbyists by associations in 2012 decreased $428,136, or 9.9 percent, from the level expended in 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

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 3,200 local units of government that belonged to at least one association, there were 107 local units of government that paid dues to three or more associations. Figure 5 below shows the percentage of local governments that belong to one or more associations.
