REGULAR MEETING — HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2009
1. CALL TO ORDER — 5:30 P.M.
Mayor Cook c e t e meeting to order. Members present were Jim Haugen, Bill Arndt, Eric Yost and Chad
Czmowski. Others present were Gary Plotz, City Administrator, Kent Exner, City Engineer, and Marc Sebora,
City Attorney.
2. INVOCATION — Due to the absence of a representative from Word of Life Church, the invocation was
ispensc.
3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Jamie Emans, 885 Hwy 7 West, presented before the Council. Mr. Emans spoke about an issue he had at
465 School Road NW, rental property of which he owns. Mr. Emans explained that one day last week there
was a water main issue in front of his property. He was later informed that he was financially responsible for
the repair work. Mr. Emans learned that the break in pipe was a feeder pipe going to the main.
John Olson, Public Works Manager, presented before the Council. Mr. Olson noted that Section 52.02
explains that it is the responsibility of the consumer or owner to maintain the service pipe from the main into
the house or other building, including, but not limited to, the stand pipe or curb stop and all equipment
associated with the service line, stand pipe or curb stop. Mr. Olson explained that standard procedure was
followed by notifying the property owner and allowing the property owner to use the contractor of his
choosing. Mr. Olson explained that also in this section the City has the ability to assess the cost to the
property. The saddle of the service was what was damaged. This couples the pipe that taps into the main.
The damage was mainly due to soil and groundwater conditions that deteriorated the saddle. Mr. Olson
explained that this is not an uncommon problem with approximately 12 deteriorations occurring each year.
The service of discussion was approximately 30 years old. Discussion was held regarding locating the
broken pipe. Mr. Olson suggested assessing the total bill to the property.
Mayor Cook noted that the way this current situation is being handled is the same as it has in the past. Kent
Exner noted the City is not obligated to locate services for homes built prior to 2006 in accordance with state
law. Jamie Emans requested that even though the city is not obligated to locate the services, that they do so
as part of their practice to potentially save the property owner money in repairs.

above. Motion carried unanimously.
Item 6(f) had further discussion. Council Member Arndt asked about the cost of the proposed services being
provided by SEH, Inc. Kent Exner, City Engineer, explained that due to the timing of a potential grant, city
staff is unable to complete all of the design work necessary. The contract with SEH, Inc. would be to
complete the design of the roadway and drainage infrastructure.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to approve Item 6(f). Motion carried unanimously.
Item 6(h) had further discussion. Mayor Cook clarified that these assessments are on Jefferson Street which
are outside of the City limits. Kent Exner noted that when the properties are annexed into the City, these
services will be assessed at that time.

CITY COUNCIL AfINUTES— FEBRUARY 24, 2009
Rebecca Bowers, Planning /Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Bowers explained
that the property at issue is proposed to be located in the City's Industrial Park. The Planning Commission
approved the sketch plan for the 68 acres which is located north of Warrior Manufacturing and south of the
Luce Line Trail. The service extension fits into the staging plan of the City's comprehensive plan.
Robert Anderson, 1545 Adams Street, presented before the Council. Mr. Anderson noted that he is opposed
to the proposed annexation. Mr. Anderson noted that five years ago other property of 80 acres (south of
Cenex) was annexed into the City which has not yet been developed. He proposed that those 80 acres be
developed first.
Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, responded to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Seppelt explained that the infrastructure to
service those 80 acres is much more costly than the proposed 68 acres. Mr. Seppelt also noted that the
property could potentially be turned back over to the township if necessary. In addition, the proposed 68
acres should be developed by this spring and he has had three or four inquiries from potential buyers.
Steve Reiner, Chairman of Hassan Valley Township Board, presented before the Council. The Hassan
Valley Township Board echoes the thoughts of Robert Anderson. The Board has concerns about agricultural
property not being developed as planned.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to close public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to waive first reading and set second reading and adoption of
Ordinance No. 09 -0522 for March 10, 2009. Motion carried unanimously.

(Purpose: to provide Council with information
not monitoring past)
(a) PRESENTATION ON ECONOMIC IMPACT OF HUTCHINSON AIRPORT
John Olson, Public Works Manager, presented before the Council. Mr. Olson explained that a tenant at the
airport, Andy Nissen, completed an economic impact report. The report is an economic impact calculator.
The calculator is described as: "Economic Impact is a measure of how much money and how many jobs are
generated as a result of a particular economic activity." The results show that the total economic impact of
the Hutchinson municipal airport is $1.2 million and 35.92 jobs.
(b) PRESENTATION ON AUTOMATED STRETCH FILM SEALER AND LABELING SYSTEM FOR
PALLETS — CREEKSIDE STAFF
Gary Plotz, City Administrator, explained that this presentation is for informational purposes. A Creekside
staff member attended an out -of -state exposition which premiered packaging materials. The staff member,
Dan Broucek, was able to locate a piece of equipment that could potentially make packing of pellets more
efficient. The funds used to purchase this piece of equipment will come from the profit made at Creekside in
2008. This system also automatically labels as part of shrink wrapping.
(c) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF SETTING MARCH 26, 2009, AS THE 2010 CENSUS KICK-
OFF MEETING AND ROUNDTABLE MEETING
Rebecca Bowers, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Bowers explained
that the City has been contacted by the State Demographer's office with a request to hold a roundtable
meeting on the 2010 census for the greater Hutchinson area and surrounding communities. The purpose of
the meeting is to promote participation in the 2010 census and encourage local officials and community
leaders to participate in "complete count" activities. This meeting will be open to the public and local
government official from communities in McLeod County and local leaders will be invited.
Motion by Arndt, second by Cook, to set March 26, 2009, as the 2010 census kick -off meeting. Motion
carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCILMINUTES—FEBRUAR Y 24, 2009
(d) REVIEW OF CHANGE IN HOURS OF MOTOR VEHICLE OFFICE
Gary Plotz, City Administrator, reviewed the change in hours at the Motor Vehicle office. They are as
follows effective March 2,2009: Monday — CLOSED; Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday -9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.;
Thursday — 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. It was noted that a motor vehicle office to Glencoe is open on Mondays.
(e) UPDATE ON WATER METER READING — KENT EXNER
Kent Exner, City Engineer, presented before the Council. Mr. Exner explained that HUC is studying an
automatic meter reading system to read natural gas and electric meters. The water department is reviewing
how to best achieve meter reading for water (i.e. in -house staff, contractor, in conjunction with HUC, etc.).
In the interim, in -house staff will more than likely be used to read meters. During that time, this item will be
discussed with HUC and at the Resource Allocation Committee.
10. NEW BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT OF "WAL -MART 1738 ADDITION" AND
VARIANCES REQUESTED BY CORNERSTONE LAND SURVEYING INC. ON BEHALF OF
WALMART WITH UNANIMOUS UNFAVORABLE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION (ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 13528)
Rebecca Bowers, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Bowers explained
that Wal -Mart has been leasing the gas station property to Murphy USA and is preparing to sell the property
to Murphy USA. A subdivision of the property is required before selling the property. Variances were
requested for the proposed gas station lot for lot area, lot width and parking requirements. Planning
Commissioners expressed concerns regarding the proposed lot size and that the request would not meet the
standards for granting a variance. The Planning Commission identified that "undue hardship" had not been
met and that the property could be put to a reasonable use without the variance and that Wal -Mart could plat
a lot that would meet the 1 -acre minimum lot area and 200 -foot lot width requirements.
A representative from Cornerstone Land Surveying, Inc., presented before the Council on behalf of Wal-
Mart. The representative noted that no change is being proposed to the property or the use of it.
Cornerstone Land Surveying Inc. noted that a hardship does exist.
Council Member Arndt explained that he was on the Planning Commission when Murphy Oil was
constructed. Many hours were spent on the Murphy Oil project at that time and various alternatives were
looked at to allow them to construct the structure they did. He expressed that Wal -Mart created their own
situation.
Motion by Arndt, second by Haugen, to adopt Resolution No. 13528, denying the preliminary and final plat
of "Wal -Mart 1738 Addition" and other variances. Motion carried unanimously.
(b) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF SCHEDULING CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOPS FOR THE
WATER/WASTEWATER RATE STUDY PROCESS AND VACANT/NUISANCE HOUSING POLICY
Gary Plotz, City Administrator, presented before the Council. Mr. Plotz noted the vacant/nuisance housing
policy could be considered at a workshop on March 24, 2009. The workshop for the water /wastewater rate
study process are proposed to be held April 14, 2009, May 26, 2009, and August 25, 2009.
Motion by Yost, second by Cook, to set workshop for March 24, 2009, at 4:00 p.m. to discuss
nuisance /vacant housing ordinance and to set April 14, May 26 and August 25, 2009, at 4:00 p.m. for the
water /wastewater rate study process. Motion carried unanimously.
(c) FURTHER DISCUSSION ON USING WASTEWATER FOR MICROALGAE MASS PRODUCTION
4 /� �
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES —FEBR UARY 24, 2009
SYSTEM GRANT APPLICATION
Mayor Cook noted that this item was discussed earlier at the Council workshop. Discussion was held to
fund 50% of the matching portion of the grant from the Creekside profits. Kent Exner, City Engineer, noted
that the City's matching obligation would be $35,000. The primary benefit of this program is to reduce the
amount of phosphate from the wastewater plant.
Council Member Yost voiced some options that need to be considered when deciding on investing into this
project. Mayor Cook noted the advantage at this time for Hutchinson is that a partner, U of MN, is willing to
share in the cost of the pilot program. He feels that the potential gains outweigh the initial cost. Council
Member Yost also expressed that he feels that HUC should be a funding partner in this project, however at
this time they are not interested.
Council Member Arndt asked if there is a dollar amount that could be put on saving. Kent Exner, City
Engineer, noted that at this time a dollar savings amount can not be identified, but rather knowledge that will
be attained. Savings may be seen in the future to the wastewater plant with phosphorous treatment and
Creekside due to greater efficiencies. Council Member Haugen voiced that he feels the City budget cannot
allow for a $35,000 investment at this time.
Mayor Cook noted that in reflection, Gary Plotz, City Administrator, has the authority to enter into contracts
that are $50,000 or less, and this item, along with others that have been considered, do not necessarily need
to be put in front of the Council for approval.
Motion by Haugen, second by Arndt, to table this item indefinitely. Roll call vote was taken: Haugen —aye;
Arndt — aye; Yost — nay; Czmowski — aye; Cook — nay. Motion can•ied 3 to 2.
11. GOVERNANCE (Purpose: to assesspast organizational performance, develop policy that guides the organization and
Council an manage the logistics of the Council. May include monitoring reports, policy development and governance
process items.)
(a) - CITY OF HUTCHINSON FINANCIAL REPORT FOR JANUARY 2009
- CITY OF HUTCHINSON INVESTMENT REPORT FOR JANUARY 2009
- PLANNING /ZONING /BUILDING DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT FOR JANUARY 2009
- LIQUOR HUTCH FINANCIAL REPORT FOR JANUARY 2009
No action required.
(b) DISCUSSION ON PROCESS FOR PUBLIC INPUT ON END STATEMENTS
Mayor Cook proposed that the Council meet with board representatives and then meet with targeted focus
groups, such as the school district, seniors, and families. This process will take time, so in the mean time he
requested that Gary Plotz and staff work off of the Ends Statements developed in 2008. Gary Plotz noted
that since performance reviews are due, staff will work from the 2008 ends statements.
Mayor Cook distributed a draft agenda created by Stacy Sjogren, Policy Governance consultant, to be used
when meeting with the public and gaining their input on the ends statements.
Mayor Cook suggested holding the first session on March 19, 2009, with representatives from the various
boards /commissions. He then suggested meeting every three weeks following that with focus groups.
Council Member Arndt noted that he does not wish for the Policy Governance program to be run like the
budgeting for outcomes project, in which he felt the public knew more about the program than Council
Members. Council Member Haugen suggested getting public input by other means as well, such as the web
site or the newspaper.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Yost, to set the public input sessions for the 3` Thursday of each month
through November 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at the City Center. Motion carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES— FEBRUARY24, 2009
(c) DISCUSSION OF CITY BOARDS TERM LIMITS
Mayor Cook explained that there has been some confusion on term limits when unexpired terms and longer
term limits are to be considered. Mayor Cook provided proposed language to insert into Section 31.20 of the
Hutchinson City Code which reads "No board or commission member shall be appointed to more than two
consecutive full terms, exclusive of the fulfillment of an unexpired term or partial term previously served,
but shall again be eligible for service following a break in service of not less than one year ". The proposed
language was taken from language included in previous language in the City Charter pertaining to the
hospital board and HUC Commission.
Council Member Haugen noted the differences in the City Code pertaining to the EDA Board which is
established by state statute and does not necessarily have term limits. Council Member Haugen questioned
the renumeration portion of the code, of which the EDA Board is numerated.
Council Member Haugen suggested reviewing the appointment process along with term limits and see how
they can all be tied together. He suggested putting together a task force or committee together to review
these items.
Council Member Czmowski noted that he would be in agreement with the proposed language presented by
Mayor Cook with inserting the words, "excluding the EDA ".
Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, noted that the historical information that long -term board members hold is
very critical to the Board.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Arndt, to accept the proposed language inserting "excluding EDA ". Marc
Sebora will bring back a proposed ordinance at the next Council meeting for a first reading. Roll call vote
was taken: Haugen — aye; Arndt — aye; Yost — aye; Czmowski — ay;e Cook — nay. Motion carried 4 to 1.
(d) DISCUSSION OF MONITORING REPORTS (I.E. ASSET PROTECTION (EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS
POLICY NO. 2.6); EXTERNAL COMPENSATION & BENEFITS (EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS
POLICY NO. 2.7); TREATMENT OF STAFF (EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS POLICY NO. 2.2)
Gary Plotz, City Administrator, noted that this is the first sketch at writing monitoring reports for city staff.
Mr. Plotz noted that the City's Policy Governance consultant, Stacy Sjogren, noted improvements that could
be made to the monitoring reports submitted at this meeting. Mr. Plotz noted that assistance will need to be
attained on putting out the evidence in the monitoring reports. Mr. Plotz suggested tabling this item to next
month to allow staff to revise the monitoring reports and allow more training to staff on writing monitoring
reports.
Stacy Sjogren spoke to the Council on additional training that may be necessary for staff and Council on
writing and reading monitoring reports.
Training with Sjogren and staff was set for March 2, 2009, at 4:00 p.m.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Yost, to table acceptance of these reports indefinitely. Motion carried
unanimously.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Seppelt asked for official Council action on
a grant submittal to the Federal Economic Development Administration for assistance on construction of the
Industrial Park. There is no "matching" dollars to be obligated, but rather this grant would be dollars to be
used in addition or in place of dollars already dedicated to the Industrial Park improvements.
Motion by Arndt, second by Yost, to approve grant application submittal for the Industrial Park. Motion
carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES— FEBRUARY24, 2009
Rebecca Bowers, Planning /Zoning /Building Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Bowers explained
that staff met with the Minnesota Home Ownership Center earlier this week. The Center asked staff to share
with the public that an upcoming telephone seminar will be held on March 10, 2009, from 7:00 — 8:00 p.m.
The seminar will be a conversation related to mortgages, foreclosures, etc.
John Olson, Public Works Manager, presented before the Council. Mr. Olson spoke about locating at the
465 School Road address, which was attempted. Mr. Olsodn noted that there is currently ample space for
snow storage, however, if necessary, the patching site on 3` Avenue may need to be utilized. Mayor Cook
suggested utilizing Tartan Park instead.
Eric Yost — Council Member Yost noted that he had received another inquiry from a citizen about adjusting
the streetlights between 12:00 — 5:00 a.m. Kent Exner noted that the maintenance /service agreement will
need to be reviewed between the City and HUC. In essence, the City does not pay for the electricity that it
takes to light the streetlights.
Chad Czmowski — Council Member Czmowski thanked Historic Hutchinson for donating $1000 to the parks
and recreation department.
Gary Plotz — Mr. Plotz spoke about his spending authority limits and asked that the Council think about at
what level they would like for him to have to alleviate putting certain items on the Council agenda. Mayor
Cook suggested that if a grant application requires long term commitment from the City, those applications
be placed on an agenda for approval.
Mr. Plotz also noted that staff had provided an informational meeting to employees on an early retirement
incentive program. Questions are being collected and follow -up materials are being put together.
Mr. Plotz lastly mentioned that Casey Stotts sits on a committee involving the 800 mHz radio system. Mr.
Stotts will be presenting a grant application to the McLeod County Board which will provide a 9 to 1
payback. If the County Board denies the application, the grant application will not move forward.
Kent Exner — Hwy 15 Coalition meeting will be held tomorrow at the Event Center at 2:00 p.m.
ACEC award was given to the wastewater plant.
Steve Cook —Mayor Cook asked if Gary Plotz could speak to a representative from the Pioneerland Library
System Board to see if more complete information could be received from them.

Parks, Recreation & Community Education Advisory Board
February 2, 2009
Members present were: Scott Scholl, Chad Czmowski, Mary Christensen, Jim Waldron, Lora
Muilenburg, Mike Retterath and Deane Dietel. Also present were Dolf Moon and Karen
McKay.
The meeting was called to order at 5:15 pm.
A motion was made by Lora Muilenburg and seconded by Deane Dietel to approve the minutes
dated December 3, 2008. The board unanimously agreed.
OLD BUSINESS
Outdoor ice — City staff have been meeting with Hutchinson Hockey Association Board
members to develop a plan to have an outdoor ice rink in Hutchinson. The plan is to use
volunteers and seek donations. The rink would have a bituminous surface to serve inline skaters
in the warmer months. A location under consideration is the grassy area to the west of west rink.
The west arena could be used as a warming house. The project could be done in phases as funds
allow. No dollar amount has been set yet. The next step is to have plans drawn out on paper.
Doe Park Survey —.A group of Minnesota State University, Mankato students conducted a dog
park survey to gauge interest in such a park in Hutchinson. 650 surveys were mailed out to
every 16` name in the Hutchinson telephone book. 75 surveys were undeliverable and 260
households responded. 42 percent were in favor of a dog park in Hutchinson, while 39 percent
were against and 19 percent were undecided. When asked about user fees, contributions for
construction and volunteer labor, 80% indicated they would not be interested. Based on the
information gathered, we would not pursue creating a dog park.
NEW BUSINESS
Budget 2009 /Department Structure — With the state financial difficulties and the reduction of
government aid to cities, staff has been required to reorganize in an effort to save money. A
Senior Programmer position at the Senior Center won't be filled. Lawrence Winter, Parks
Supervisor, retired in January and his position won't be filled. Their salaries and benefits were
permanently deducted out of the budget. Sara Witte has been training for the Parks Supervisor
position in anticipation of Lawrence's retirement.
In other cost - saving efforts, restrooms in the parks will be unisex with one being open at a time
and cleaning on a two -day cycle. The Event Center is revenue generating with wedding and
business rentals. The ice arenas have one attendant in the evenings rather than two. The outdoor
pool calendar will be shortened. The adult recreation program fees will remain the same with
fewer contests. These measures have been proposed to cope with the reduction in funding and to
maintain current participation fees.

BOARD MEMBER ITEMS
The Little Crow statue in scheduled to be installed in 2009. It is likely that it will be placed on
the north side of the river near the overlook. At this time there are no funds available for this
project which is expected to cost approximately $25,000. Costs include installation the pedestal,
footings and a paver trail. This project needs to be historically accurate.
Jim Waldron questioned the expectations of the Parks, Recreation and Community Education
Advisory Board. Dolf told the board that the purpose is to receive information and share it with
the community as well as bring the community's views to the board. The Board can recommend
agenda items and city staff will attend meetings to answer questions.
PRCE staff will be monitoring the St. Cloud Parks and Recreation Department participation
numbers as they transition to a website -only brochure.

To: Mayor and City Council Members
Frorrc Brad Emans, Fire Chief
Date: 03/02/09
Re: Monthly Update on Activities of the Fin; Department
Fire Department Response: The fire department responded to 31 calls for service in the month of
February.
Fire Officer Only Response: A "fire officer only" responded to 11 calls in February, saving the
Hutchinson Fire District the cost of a "general' alarm estimated at $ 1,848.00 and more importantly, it
kept our firefighters on their full time job an additional 165 hours!
Response Time (First Emergency Vehicle Out of the Door): February —4 minutes 0 seconds
Example of a Few of the Calls:
• The FD responded to a chimney fire in the NE part of the city. The FD was able to prevent any
structural damage to the home,
• The FD responded to a house fire in the SW part of the fire district. The fire did approximately
$65,000 in damage to the building and contents, but the FD was able to save approximately
$150,000 in damage. The cause of the fire was inappropriate use of extension cords;
• The FD responded to a house/garage fire in the SW part of the city. The fire did approximately
$40,000 damage to the building and contents, but the FD was able to save approximately $85,000
in damage. The cause of the fire was either a malfunction in the electric heater in the garage or
mixing sawdust, steel wool, and batteries;
• The FD responded to a semi vs. passenger vehicle accident. Fortunately their were no serious
accidents;
• The FD responded to a commercial building fire in the SE part of the city. The office / break room
area were filled with smoke, so the FD used the thermal imaging camera to locate the source of
the fire and kept the damage to a minimum;
• The FD responded to a house filled with smoke and soot, the cause was determined to be a
malfunctioning furnace;
• The FD responded to an industrial fire in the SE part of the city when a passer -by called indication
fire was coming out of the roof. The fire turned out to be an orange light and steam.

Coalition Closer to Securing
Funding for Corridor Study
Mn /DOT Districts 3, 7, and 8 have agreed to
contribute to the project
In spite of the TH 15 Corridor Coalition's best
efforts over the last 3 years to secure federal funding
for a corridor study, members of the Minnesota
Congressional delegation representing districts along
the corridor have met with limited success in
convincing their leadership to include the required
funding in annual appropriations bills. In response, the
TH 15 Corridor Coalition decided to expand its strategy
by shifting greater focus on funding opportunities
offered by Mn /DOT. That strategy appears to be
paying off.
At the January TH 15 Coalition Steering
Committee meeting, Mn /DOT District 3 Program
Engineer Jim Povich indicated that if the project is
selected for funding, all Mn /DOT districts along the
corridor (Districts 3,7, and 8) have agreed to contribute
funds to conduct the study. The request for funding for
the study must still be approved by Mn /DOT, but if

TH 15 Corridor Coalition Preparing for
Key Upcoming Events
Coalition events have two goals: inform members and
convey message to state and federal lawmakers
The Coalition will
continue to investigate
and pursue opportunities
involving both state
sources of funding (e.g.
Mn /DOT funding for the
Corridor Study) as well
as federal funding
opportunities.
It has been said that Minnesota has two seasons: winter and road
construction. For advocates of increased funding for road construction
(and other transportation infrastructure), you can add a third season:
project promotion. (And you thought Minnesota winters were long... )
The TH 15 Corridor Coalition is gearing up for the 2009 slate of
events that are all intended to promote the needs of the TH 15 corridor,
both to its members and other users of the corridor, and also to state
and federal lawmakers who are in a position to use their authority to
direct funding to the corridor's most critical needs. The Coalition will
continue to investigate and pursue opportunities involving both state
sources of funding (e.g. Mn /DOT funding for the Corridor Study, for
example, see article on page 1) as well as federal funding opportunities.
Upcoming events involving the Coalition are identified below, along
with some of the key information concerning each one:

TH 15 Corridor Coalition Wants YOU! (to pass a
resolution or write a letter of support)
One of the keys to successfully securing public funding from any public or
private "grantor" agency is to effectively convey that the proposed project
enjoys a broad base of support and will provide significant public benefit to a
wide variety of citizens. Anticipated public benefit is so important that nearly
every organization who provides
public funding for a project
either requires or strongly
encourages that proposals
include formal adopted
resolutions or letters of support
documenting the benefits of a
proposal as a means of
evaluating competing projects.
The TH 15 Corridor Coalition
has been very assertive in its
efforts to communicate the
needs of the corridor to key
policy makers at the state and
local level. Successfully
promoting the corridor is
essential because lawmakers
need assurances that the project
that they are supporting is
worthy of scarce public
resources.
Very soon, Mn /DOT will make
a decision on whether to provide
critical funding for a study of the
corridor. The model letter at
the right can be used as a
starting point for preparing a
letter of support, which conveys
the most critical needs of the
Dear
I am writing to urge your support for a study of needed safety, capacity,
and corridor preservation needs along State Trunk Highway 15 between
Saint Cloud and Fairmont.
Trunk Highway 15 is the primary north -south route west of the Twin Cities
linking 1 -94 and 1 -90. It is a 130 -mile corridor extending from Saint Cloud to
Fairmont, and including the other regional trade centers of Hutchinson and
New Ulm, A study of the corridor is necessary to identify specific high
priority safety and mobility needs along the corridor, and to preserve right
of way for future capacity needs.
Safety problems on TH 15 continue to be a serious concern. Since 1990,
over 6,000 crashes have occurred along the corridor resulting in over 50
fatalities. Population and economic growth along the corridor will worsen
the safety along the corridor if action is not taken soon to identify critical
improvements.
The proposed study will identify the safety and access needs of the
corridor, coordinate existing plans, develop improvement priorities, and
establish a schedule for future improvements. In addition, the study will
identify corridor preservation needs by coordinating with Mn /DOT and local
planning and zoning authorities to identify necessary setbacks and
preservation needs.
The region's ability to attract and sustain economic growth, and the safety
of motorists who drive the corridor every day are dependent on investments
to meet the growing demand as the population increases and our
infrastructure ages. Please support funding for the TH 15 corridor study so
that the safety and mobility needs along the corridor can be addressed.
corridor from your organization's unique perspective. The Coalition is in the process of drafting model
resolutions which will be distributed at the February 25 membership meeting.
An adopted resolution or a letter of support will help the TH 15 Corridor Coalition to build a more
persuasive case for funding of a corridor study, and ultimately to fund the critical safety and mobility
improvements that we all recognize are overdue. The TH 15 Coalition would greatly appreciate your
input and is prepared to help draft a letter on your organization's behalf. For assistance, or to submit a
signed letter or local resolution, contact TH 15 Coalition project consultant Matt Shands at (651) 967-

JOINING THE HIGHWAY 15 COALITION IS EASY!
The Trunk Highway 15 Coalition urges public and private entities
whose employees or customers use the corridor on a regular basis to
join our Coalition. Our mission is to organize and effectively advocate
accelerated improvements to this important highway.
Membership and annual dues contribute to the cost of the
Coalition, which include the costs of organizational meetings,
informational materials geared to members of Congress and local
legislators that demonstrate the needs and degree of local support for
improvements along the corridor, continued development of the
Coalition's website, and administrative costs. Ultimately, the
Coalition's efforts will result in safety and mobility improvements
along the length of the corridor from St. Cloud to Fairmont, so we
strive to maximize membership among all of the effected
communities.

Coalition is also requesting that existing and new members to consider a one -time donation to the
Corridor's development fund. The creation of this fund is designed to provide the assets necessary for the
Coalition to become fully effective and represented, while also giving the Coalition the ability to leverage
its resources to secure state and federal assistance.

successful, the study could be conducted as early as this summer.
Completion of a study of the TH 15 Corridor is an essential next step in the Coalition's ultimate goal of
securing state and federal funding for critical safety and capacity improvements along the corridor. The TH 15
Corridor Coalition is working closely with Mn /DOT to ensure that the proposed study addresses Mn /DOT's highest
priority issues. A draft Scope of Services describing the proposed study has been distributed to all appropriate
Mn /DOT staff in each district for their review and comment, and their responses will be collected by the TH 15
Coalition steering committee and incorporated into the final proposed Scope of Services for the study.
The Coalition is optimistic about its chances of securing funding for this critical study, but will remain
diligent in its pursuit of the funds. Said Kent Exner, Hutchinson City Engineer and Corridor Coalition Steering
Committee member, "Nothing is guaranteed, but we feel very positive about the progress we are making. Our
focus remains on getting this study funded, so that we can continue to build a strong case for federal and state
funding for the critical safety, mobility, and economic development project needs along the length of the
corridor."

POLICE / EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
TO: Council & Mayor
FROM: Dan Hatten, Director of Police / Emergency Management Services
DATE: February 26, 2009
RE: Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Grant
This memorandum is to request authorization to apply for funding under the COPS Hiring
Recovery Program (CHRP). The COPS office will receive funds from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
CHRP is a competitive grant program that will provide funding directly to law enforcement
agencies to create and preserve jobs and to increase their community policing capacity
and crime - prevention efforts. There is no local match requirement for CHRP, but grant
funding will be based on current entry- level salary and benefits packages. CHRP grants
will provide 100 percent funding for approved entry -level salaries and benefits for 3 years
(36 months) for newly - hired, full -time swum officers who have been laid off, or are
scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of local budget cuts. At the
conclusion of the federal funding, all grantees must retain all swom officer positions
awarded under the CHRP grant.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council members
From: John Olson, Public Works Manager
Subject: Proposed Managed Minimum Maintenance Landscape Alternative.
For several years, the City has allowed property owners to develop alternative landscapes, based on City
policy that further clarifies Section 92.35 ff. This program has been successful in many areas of the City.
In an effort to further identify potential cost - saving measures, Public Works staff has prepared a draft
amendment to existing alternative landscape policy provisions that would allow for managed areas where
minimum maintenance of vegetation is allowed to take place without requiring native vegetation to be
planted. The idea behind these managed areas would be that they be large, neatly segregated areas where
mowing is not done routinely, thereby reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
Under this proposal, managed minimum maintenance would be available to all property owners.
Managed minimum maintenance areas would be required to follow these provisions:
1. Tall vegetation is not allowed adjacent to buildings and structures, as identified in Minnesota State Fire
Code Section 316.2, including but not limited to vegetation within 30 feet of buildings.
2. Areas designed for minimum maintenance management must:
a. be at least 2,500 square feet in size.
b. not interfere or hinder access to buildings or other accessible facilities.
c. be free from noxious weeds.
d. be treated for broadleaf weeds at least once per year.
e. be mowed at least once per year in the fall.
f. not be located within rights -of -way or within 15 feet of a right -of -way.
g. must be registered with the City Weed Inspector.
The City would have additional options under this proposal, as described:
3. Minimum maintenance management plan. The City (or other government agencies) can specifically
identify areas for managed minimum maintenance on public properties and rights -of -way, provided they do
not conflict with access to infrastructure, public facilities or negatively affect public safety.
Staff has worked with the Planning/Zoning, including Planning Staff to address any concerns. There
were no significant issues identified with allowing managed minimum maintenance areas within the City.
I recommend adoption of the attached policy, with highlighted changes noted.
Also attached for your reference is current City Code regarding weeds/maintenance standards.

City of Hutchinson
Weed Ordinance
Alternative Landscape Policy
Special Provisions — Alternative Landscapes. Every owner or occupant of land or, if the land
is unoccupied, the owner or resident agent, shall cut down, destroy or eradicate all noxious
weeds as defined by the laws of the State of Minnesota and grasses standing or growing upon
such lands, in such manner and at such times as may be directed or ordered by a City authorized
weed inspector. Any land, with over thirty percent (30 1 /6) of its grass and weed growth above the
height of twelve (12 ") inches, not in compliance with Section 3 (b) of these provisions below:
will be considered in violation of the weed ordinance. Further, all land must remain debris free,
such that it does not become a dumping site for grass clippings, garbage, dirt and any other
substances that would directly alter the normal conditions and following issuance of a citation for
said violation, the City may cause the land to be cleared and leveled to eradicate the improper
condition of the land, with the expense for doing so becoming the responsibility of the
landowner.
Weed inspector: A City authorized weed inspector(s), shall examine the lands, highways and
public grounds for the purpose of ascertaining if the provisions of the Code are being complied
with. If it is found that such is not the case, the weed inspector(s) shall issue a notice in writing
in a form prescribed by the Council to owner(s) or occupant(s) requiring them to cut down,
destroy or eradicate all noxious weeds which are growing or in danger of going to seed, within
seven (7) days. If owner is a nonresident of the City, then the occupant shall be deemed to be the
owner's agent to receive any such notice.
Weed Cutting: Whenever any person(s) fails to comply with the notice served upon them, the
City authorized weed inspector shall cause the same to be cut down, destroyed cleared, leveled
or eradicated at the expense of the owner of the property. The expense of maintenance of said
land shall be billed directly to the landowner. Said notice shall be served by the post office
addressed to the owner at the address shown on the real estate tax rolls of the County. If
payment is not forthcoming from the landowner by October 1 of that year, the bill shall be
assessed against the property as provided by law. A property owner may establish that a plant or
plants are part of an alternative landscape and by therefore proclaiming, may be exempt from the
provisions of the aforementioned provisions. Alternative landscapes shall be those as described
below.
Special Provisions — Alternative Landscapes
Preamble. The City Council finds that there are a variety of landscapes in the City,
which add diversity and richness to the quality of life. Certain areas in the City have
been left, or allowed to go natural. These have been accepted by the vast majority of the
City residents as appropriate and as part of the unique quality of life in this community.
There are community expectations, however, that once an area has been disturbed,
landscaped, or otherwise maintained, that that area will continue to be maintained in a
consistent manner. When vegetation in that area is not continually maintained, it
becomes aesthetically unpleasing and violates community standards. Property, which
appears neglected, may decrease the value of adjacent properties. In addition, if
vegetation is not properly maintained, there may be the following adverse impacts on
public health, safety, and welfare:
Alternative Landscape Policy —Page I of
-U(
a. Undesirable vegetation such as common buckthorn, quackgrass, and other weeds
may invade and threaten to supplant other more desirable vegetation.
b. Vegetation, which causes allergic reactions, such as ragweed, may develop,
and
C. Tall vegetation along driveways and public roads may impair visibility when
entering or exiting public roads.
d. Undesirable tall vegetation Aacent to buildings and structures, as identified itt
Minnesota State Fire Code Section 316.2, including but not limited to vegetation
within 30 feet of buildings
The City Council also finds that it is in the public interest to allow citizens to choose the
type of landscaping on their properties and to make changes in that vegetation. As a
protection for the larger community, however, this change in vegetation must be properly
managed and maintained and the length of the transition period must be minimized.
The Council finds that the establishment of prairie and meadow plant communities is an
acceptable landscape treatment in the City. This requires special consideration, however,
because weeds will grow during the first few years of transition before the new
vegetation predominates and will appear like neglect. Therefore, the Council finds that
this type of vegetation is acceptable if it is properly maintained to shorten the transition
period and if notice is given of the intended result.
In contrast, the transition to trees and other woody species does not require special
consideration because untended grass or weeds are not a necessary part of that transition
period. Rather, the transition period is shortened by eliminating competition around the
seedlings through such techniques as organic mulch.
The City Council has enacted this policy to balance the public interest in a variety of
vegetation with the public need to ensure proper maintenance of that vegetation. The
Council finds that establishing a height limitation for certain vegetation is in the best
interest of the public health, safety, and welfare as outlined above and is a reasonable
maintenance standard.
2. Definitions. For purposes of this policy, the following words shall have the meanings
specified below.
a. "Prairie vegetation" is grasses and flowering broad -leaf plants, which are native
to, or adapted to, the State of Minnesota, which are commonly found in meadow
and prairie plant communities, except weeds.
b. "Noxious weeds" are those plants designated as such by the State of Minnesota
pursuant to Minnesota Statues Section 18.171, Subd. 5.
C. "Regularly cut," means mowing or otherwise cutting the vegetation so that it does
not exceed twelve inches in height.
Alternative Landscape Policy — Page 2 of
6( C)
d. "Turf grasses" are grasses commonly used in regularly cut lawn areas, such as
bluegrass, fescue and rye grass blends, and non -woody vegetation interspersed
with them.
e. "Weeds" include all noxious weeds. Weeds also include any other non -woody
plant exceeding twelve inches in height unless specifically being listed as an
alternative landscape as defined below. A property owner may establish that a
plant or plants are part of an alternative landscape by providing a written
landscape plan for the area in question, complete with a listing and locations of
plant species. Vegetation, which does not comply with this plan, are weeds.
Maintenance Standard. The maintenance standard in this policy applies to property
which has been developed with a building as defined in the Building code, including
vacant property combined with developed property for tax purposes, and a parcel of
property which has been completely or partially disturbed by demolition, grading or other
means in preparation for development or redevelopment.
a. All turf grass lawns must be maintained in an esthetically pleasing manner and or
compatible to the neighborhood in which it resides and must not exceed a height
of twelve inches, measured from the base at ground level to the tip of each stalk,
stem, blade, or leaf.
b. This requirement does not apply to the following:
1. A wetland or floodplain designated on the official zoning map.
2. A drainage pond or ditch, which stores or conveys storm water.
3. A pasture which is (a) currently being used only for the exercise or
feeding of domestic hoofed animals, (b) physically surrounded by a
permanent fence which separates the pasture from property used for other
purposes, (c) at least one -half acre in size, and (d) undeveloped with any
habitable buildings.
4. An area in which the land and vegetation appears not to have been graded,
landscaped, mowed, or otherwise disturbed by human or mechanical
means at any time. Determination of what constitutes this type of area
will be based on a reasonable judgment of the present appearance of the
area. The recent history of the area may be relevant to this determination.
An area established as an alternative landscape with prairie vegetation if:
a. The prior vegetation is eliminated and the prairie vegetation is
planted through transplanting or seed by human or mechanical
means, and
b. The area is cut at least once per year to a height of no more than
twelve inches, if weeds cover more than 25% of the area, and
V1��rnaiice
1 .; unlsaape Policy P;iee ; A �� ,A
C. A sign is posted on the property in a location likely to be seen by
the public, advising that a prairie is being established. This sign is
required only if the prairie vegetation is in an area likely to be seen
by the public. This sign shall be in addition to any sign permitted
by the sign ordinance but shall be no smaller than ten inches
square, no larger than one square foot, and no higher than three
feet tall. The sign is no longer required when weeds cover 25% or
less of the area.
6. Alternative Landscapes as described above shall be approved after
a written plan relating to management of the area contains the following:
a. Legal description of the lawn upon which the grass and other
growth will exceed twelve inches in length.
b. Statement of intent and purpose for the lawn. A description of the
vegetation types, plants and plant succession involved
C. The specific management and maintenance techniques to be
employed.
d. Included shall be provisions for cutting at a length not greater than
twelve inches in the front yard area, that portion of the yard that
abuts any public sidewalk and a strip must be maintained not less
than four feet adjacent to neighboring property lines, which may be
waived by the abutting property owner on the side so affected.

SUBJECT: CHANGE IN LANDSCAPING ORDNANCE
�cC �r<s 'Z ccmer
C 09 20

As citizens and taxpayers of the City of Hutchinson, we have continued to read and here about the city
councils' agenda for beautification of land, buildings, etc within the city limits. Now, we read about the city
council wanting to relieve property owner having more than 2,500 square feet of the burden and
responsibility for up- keeping and maintenance of their property.
Could someone explain the rationale for the changing the landscaping ordnance to allow noxious weeds to
grow all summer long within the city? This proposal is not about saving city tax dollars, but relieving
investors of the responsibility for maintaining their property.
We are in opposition to changing the present ordnance. At present, the ordnance reads that weeds will be
controlled to a maximum height of 12 inches. Does this seem like an unbearable burden on the property
owner?
Apparently it does, I have had the opportunity to visit city hall and attend council meetings since the
summer of 2004 to have empty lots maintained in our neighborhood. On one occasion the city council was
presented with pictures of unsightly construction materials, excess dirt and concrete piles, along with weeds
standing three (3) to four (4) feet high. Those empty lots continue to have thistles and other noxious weeds
growing out of control. Now, the council is considering to allow developer, land speculators and property
owners to do a single mowing and weed spraying each fall?
The facts:
- Citizens are concerned about the care and maintenance of those empty lots because they impact
on the value of their property and neighborhood in which they live in. Run down house and
neighborhoods only breed trouble within communities.
- Written in the Hutchinson Leader article, " The city council is going to discuss changing the
ordnance to allow weeds and grasses to be mowed and sprayed one a year on large tracts of land of 2,500
square feet and larger." The land size of 2,500 square feet (50 feet x 50 feet) does not encompass the size
of one city block in Hutchinson. Maybe Hutchinson needs to consider making city lots larger.
- The city already has allowed one dump within the city limits. This was not a beautification issue
but a recourse to relieve contractors from paying to dispose of unwanted waste.
