CONFLICT OF INTERESTS We have enclosed a copy of the Firm's Conflict of Interest policy and a list of current government relations clients for the City’s review to make sure there are no conflicts of interest. The Firm has performed an internal conflict of interest review and determined no conflict of interest currently exists.

This contract is entered into on the ________day of ___________________, 2018 by ___________________________ ________________________________ Nancy Haas, Shareholder James B. Hovland, Chair Signed on behalf of Edina Housing & Redevelopment Authority Messerli & Kramer, P.A. ________________________________ Robert J. Stewart, Secretary Edina Housing & Redevelopment Authority 30852.1 Messerli & Kramer P.A. is aware that conflicts between clients can negatively impact their legislative programs. We assume the responsibility to examine the issues presented by any potential client for conflict with existing client legislative initiatives. To that end, we have developed a Conflicts of Interest Policy which we include as part of all client representation agreements. It is our belief that most conflicts can be avoided through a commitment to early identification of issues and by notification of clients. Conflicts of Interest Policy Messerli & Kramer P.A. has an affirmative obligation to promptly detect and immediately report any potential conflict between the legislative objectives of its clients. Legislative clients also have an affirmative responsibility to detect potential conflicts and notify Messerli & Kramer P.A. regarding them. A conflict of interest will be deemed to exist whenever either a legislative client or the firm determines there is a conflict. Prospective clients are advised to review the aforementioned firm profile of current clients. We make every attempt to identify any potential conflict of interest with existing clients prior to being retained by a new legislative client. This process includes a full discussion within our Government Relations Department and disclosure of the potential conflict issues to existing legislative clients who may be affected. If any significant conflict becomes apparent that cannot be resolved at this stage, the firm will decline the new representation absent client consent. If a conflict of interest arises between two or more existing legislative clients, the following guidelines will apply: 1. An attempt will be made to resolve or compromise the conflict between the clients. A compromise must be agreed to by all affected clients. 2. If a client elects to withdraw the conflicting issue from its legislative program, the conflict of interest will be considered resolved. 3. If the conflict is not resolved by a client's withdrawal of the issue or mutual compromise of the conflicting points of view, Messerli & Kramer P.A. must withdraw from representation of all clients on that particular legislative issue. Messerli & Kramer P.A. will contact appropriate parties to explain the conflict and the firm's withdrawal from the issue. 4. The client, with the firm's assistance, will be responsible for making their own arrangements for legislative representation on the issue giving rise to the conflict and withdrawal. Messerli & Kramer P.A. will renegotiate any retainer or contract agreement with an affected client to reflect the withdrawal. 5. If a pattern of conflicts develops between legislative clients, the Firm will evaluate the situation with the affected clients. The Firm will cease representation as necessary to eliminate any continuing conflict of interest and will explain the withdrawal to all affected parties.
