abatement and other City code violations. In addition to these and other duties <br />described in the Request for Proposals, we will provide a free monthly <br />subscription to Minnesota Police Briefs, a criminal law news summary service <br />prepared by Mr. Baertschi. This service includes an annual legislative update and <br />summaries of all pertinent criminal law cases that affect police and prosecution <br />matters. Our strengths include experience and professionalism in all aspects of <br />prosecution services based on our knowledge, experience and ongoing <br />commitment to providing quality legal work. <br />i. Firm experience in Municipal Legal Services. The firm Tallen and <br />Baertschi has been engaged principally in prosecution services since 1993 when <br />Mr. Baertschi and Mr. Tallen merged their separate practices that had involved <br />prosecution prior to that point. Mr. Baertschi and Mr. Tallen first practiced <br />together in 1987 when they were essentially full time prosecutors at the firm of <br />LeFevere, Lefler, Kennedy, O'Brien and Drawz, the preeminent municipal law <br />firm in Minnesota at that time. That work continued with a successor firm of <br />Holmes & Graven for two years. Thereafter, Mr. Tallen and Mr. Baertschi <br />continued prosecution services independently until they teamed up again in 1993, <br />forming Tallen & Baertschi. After a competitive search process, Tallen & <br />Baertschi was appointed as the prosecution firm for the City of Maple Grove, <br />currently our largest client. Our office also serves as the prosecuting attorneys for <br />the Cities of Robbinsdale, Medina, Loretto, Deephaven, Woodland, the Lake <br />Minnetonka Conservation District, Osseo and the Hennepin County portion of the <br />City of Rockford. Mr. Tallen also serves as conflict and/or back up prosecutor for <br />the Cities of Minnetonka and Hopkins. Mr. Tallen and Mr. Baertschi are both <br />active in the Suburban Hennepin County Prosecutors Association, a group of <br />suburban prosecutors who have organized in an attempt to speak with one voice <br />on issues of common concern to our prosecution clients. Our work with these <br />prosecution clients includes all aspects of the specified scope of work listed in the <br />Request for Proposals. <br />The following persons may be contacted at the various municipalities and agencies <br />concerning specific activities performed. <br />Chief Eric Werner <br />City of Maple Grove <br />12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway <br />P.O.
