Key actions to be aware of
Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may come to a business with a warrant to locate or detain specific individuals or search a location. The National Immigration Law Center offers a helpful guide for steps that employers can take if immigration officials come to your workplace.
I-9 inspections, also called I-9 audits, are an administrative inspection process conducted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). During this process, a DHS agent may request specific business records to confirm that the business's employees have appropriate work authorization.
The nonprofit Minnesota Community Development Financial Institutions Coalition has created a comprehensive resource page to help businesses navigate an ICE response.

Smart Salting is good business
As a Minnetonka business owner, you’re aware that winter presents particular safety challenges for customers, clients and employees. But did you know that using too much salt creates its own suite of problems?
Over time, salt cracks sidewalks, parking lots and roadways. It corrodes buildings and vehicles, damages soil and vegetation, and contaminates local lakes, streams and wetlands. Those impacts cut into your bottom line and create additional risks for our community.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency offers free Smart Salting trainings and a certification program for businesses, property managers and others who manage snow and ice.

Do you hire a contractor to manage snow and ice?
Be sure to ask whether they implement smart-salting strategies to save money, time and the environment.
