Narrative:

Controller #2 said they coordination a turn into controller 1's airspace. Aircraft #1; off of runway 30R; was turned to a heading of 260 degrees. Aircraft #2 departed runway 30L and was also turned heading 260 degrees. I did not recall the coordination and the coordination was not recorded. The pilot of aircraft #2 saw the first aircraft immediately and stopped his climb. Contributing factors: 1) ASR 11 radar was OTS. Aircraft were not displaying on the radar for 1 1/2 - 2 mi. 2) amass went off line at about the same time. This caused confusion in the cabin attendant. We have to bring out reminders and change our procedures. The problem was found when we observed the A319 at a lower than normal altitude. About the same time the targets started to show up on the radar. Corrective actions: 1) do all coordination on recorded lines. No confusion about who said what and when. 2) the radar outage should not have been during daylight hours. These things should be done during midnight operations when there is little or no impact. Human factors are always an issue. Did something happen? Do I remember this or that? I don't know how to fix that.

Title: MSP LCL CTLR EXPERIENCED OPERROR AT APPROX 1000 WHEN COORD BETWEEN LCL'S WAS CONFUSED AND TWR SUCCESSIVE DEPS CONFLICTED.

Narrative: CTLR #2 SAID THEY COORD A TURN INTO CTLR 1'S AIRSPACE. ACFT #1; OFF OF RWY 30R; WAS TURNED TO A HDG OF 260 DEGS. ACFT #2 DEPARTED RWY 30L AND WAS ALSO TURNED HDG 260 DEGS. I DID NOT RECALL THE COORD AND THE COORD WAS NOT RECORDED. THE PLT OF ACFT #2 SAW THE FIRST ACFT IMMEDIATELY AND STOPPED HIS CLB. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) ASR 11 RADAR WAS OTS. ACFT WERE NOT DISPLAYING ON THE RADAR FOR 1 1/2 - 2 MI. 2) AMASS WENT OFF LINE AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSED CONFUSION IN THE CAB. WE HAVE TO BRING OUT REMINDERS AND CHANGE OUR PROCS. THE PROB WAS FOUND WHEN WE OBSERVED THE A319 AT A LOWER THAN NORMAL ALT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE TARGETS STARTED TO SHOW UP ON THE RADAR. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: 1) DO ALL COORD ON RECORDED LINES. NO CONFUSION ABOUT WHO SAID WHAT AND WHEN. 2) THE RADAR OUTAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DURING DAYLIGHT HRS. THESE THINGS SHOULD BE DONE DURING MIDNIGHT OPS WHEN THERE IS LITTLE OR NO IMPACT. HUMAN FACTORS ARE ALWAYS AN ISSUE. DID SOMETHING HAPPEN? DO I REMEMBER THIS OR THAT? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THAT.
