STREET RECONSTRUCTION PLAN AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF GENERAL
OBLIGATION STREET RECONSTRUCTION BONDS
Andy Reid, Finance Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Reid provided information on the
projects that will be bonded for this year which include Franklin Street, Oakland Avenue SE,
Washington Avenue (475 bonds) and Michael's Court road improvements (429 bonds). The
Michael's Court project includes new infrastructure which isn't allowable under Minnesota Statute
475. Because of this, the best approach for 2024 is to use the combination of bonds. The process is
to hold the public hearing tonight to discuss and approve the five-year capital improvement plan
which identifies the planned street reconstruction needs. A 30-day reverse referendum period begins
after the hearing where voters may submit a petition signed by at least 5% of the votes case in the
last general election. If no petition is received within the 30 days, the City would then be able to sell
the bonds at a future Council meeting. The bonds will be issued for a 15-year maturity with the
principal and interest paid semi-annually by the City' debt tax levy and special assessments paid by
the property owners.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Burley, to close public hearing at 6:11 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.
Motion by Czmowski, second by May, to adopt five-year street reconstruction plan and approve

STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION — HOUSING II
MARCH 26, 2024 @ 3:45 P.M.
MINUTES
Members present: Mayor Gary Forcier called the session to order. Members
present were Tim Burley, Pat May, Dave Sebesta and Chad Czmowski. Others
present were Matt Jaunich, City Administrator and other city directors and staff
1) Review of Last Strategic Planning Session (Matt —10 minutes)
Matt Jaunich, City Administrator, reminded the group of what was reviewed at the last
strategic planning session which included the state of housing in Hutchinson,
infrastructure costs for housing, financing housing/debt impact and the tax value of
housing, vision for housing in the years to come, current challenges/barriers to housing,
questions/conversations/developing ideas and/or directions and reviewing the next
steps/action items/developing a plan.
Mr. Janich also reviewed results/feedback from the community survey that was
completed last year. 71% rated the overall design or layout of residential areas as
excellent or good; 80% viewed their neighborhood as a good to excellent place to live;
48% rated the variety of housing options as good to excellent; 28% rated the
availability of affordable quality housing as good to excellent; 60% rated the overall
quality of new development as good to excellent; well -planned residential growth had a
rating of 68%; and well -designed neighborhoods had rating of 68%.
Mayor Forcier noted that citizens have expressed to him that they would like more
cooperative/condominium-style housing such as Greencastle or Prairie Senior Cottages.
He also commented that The Oaks & Pines facility is completely full as they learned at
the last City Council meeting.
Council Member May asked if any developers have come forward and requested
assistance. Mr. Jaunich noted that the Highfield Apartments received TIF District funds
for their multi -family apartment complex. Judy Flemming, HRA Executive Director,
spoke about upfront loans provided by Minnesota Housing to developers. The program
funding that was available for the Rolling Meadows development is no longer available.
Funds were also made available for the Dale/South Grade apartment rehabilitation.
Council Member Burley commented that questions he received surrounded around what
is the land availability for development. Dan Jochum, Planning/Zoning/Building Director,
noted that there is plenty of land availability within city limits however costs and
infrastructure are the biggest challenges.
Council Member Czmowski noted that the only comment he received was from a local
developer that requested a residential TIF district.
2) City ""Tools" that Can be Used to Assist Housing in Hutchinson (Andy — 30
minutes)
Andy Reid, Finance Director, reviewed the funding tools available for housing and new
development. These include developer equity and private financing; state funding; city
fee reductions; housing trust fund; low or no cost for city land; City or HRA reserve
funds; Tax Increment Financing; tab abatement; municipal bonded debt; and
combination of any of these options. Mr. Reid reviewed further tax increment financing,
tab abatement and municipal bonded debt options. Mr. Reid explained that when the
City provides assistance through a public subsidy, such as TIF, the following criteria
must be met: create or retain jobs, redevelop blighted areas, remediate polluted sites,
construct affordable housing, and increase the tax base. There are risks to the City for
providing assistance. The assistance should fill a financing gap for needed projects and
encourages development that would not normally occur without assistance and a
financial consultant needs to review and advise on the need for public assistance. Mr.
Reid explained why affordable projects need assistance which is mainly to fill a funding
gap. Mr. Reid noted that the most effective tools to address funding gaps for multi-
family and single-family developments include TIF, tax abatement, municipal bonds, low
or no -cost for City land and state funding. The other tools reviewed could be used in
combination with these noted but wouldn't provide a significant level of funds alone.
Mr. Reid explained in more detail the Tax Increment Financing tool. TIF allows for the
increase in property tax revenues from a development project to be used to pay for
qualifying costs. Most notable of TIF is that it is a public subsidy and the needs must be
proven; must have a process outlining that the project would not get done without
assistance; it is only generated after a development adds value to a property;
County/City/School taxes are all captured on increased value; it is not an exemption
from paying taxes; affordability is a requirement; and the County administers it and
distributes revenues to the City. Mr. Reid ran through scenarios of using TIF for multi-
family complexes and single -owner housing developments. City staff believes TIF is
better suited for multi -family housing developments.
Mr. Reid explained in more detail tax abatement. Tax abatement allows all or a portion
of property tax revenues from a development project to be used to pay for qualifying
costs. Most notable of tax abatement is that it is a public subsidy and the need must be
proven; must have a process outlining that the project would not get done without
assistance; abatement is generated after a development adds value to a property;
county and school need to agree to abatement in order to capture their taxes along with
City's taxes; abatement is not an exemption from paying taxes; affordability component
is not a requirement with abatement; and the City administers abatement unlike TIF.
The City tax levy would need to be increased for the subsidy paid each year. Mr. Reid
ran through scenarios of using tax abatement for multi -family complexes and single-
family developments. TIF worked best in the scenario compared to tax abatement for
single-family development mainly because of providing a higher revenue stream.
Mr. Reid then reviewed using general obligation special assessment bonds as a tool in
financing single family developments. The City would assess each property for a share
of the costs; the debt would need to be structured with timing assumptions for homes
being built; and the City would assume significant risks of tax levy increases to fund
debt service. Mr. Reid provided some scenarios of three-year deferred assessments and
phased -in deferred assessments using G.O. bonds for a single-family development.
Mr. Reid reviewed lesser risks and higher risks with the reviewed public assistance
options. Lesser risks include state funding (difficult process to obtain), City fee
reductions and low/no cost for City land, City or HRA reserve funds and housing trust
fund, TIF with developer and tax abatement. Higher risks include municipal bonds, TIF
bonds, tax abatement and City loans to developers.
Mr. Reid noted that the City annually issues debt for roadway projects. Other current
debt considerations are a needed fire ladder truck and other heavy equipment. This
needs to be kept in mind.
In summary, staff believes that TIF is the most effective tool for multi -family
development. Municipal bonds and TIF bonds are the most effective tools for single
family development. The City needs to be aware of other City debt needs when
determining any potential contribution towards private development.
Council Member Czmowski expressed that he feels using TIF for multi -family
developments seems to be an obvious tool to use. He expressed that municipal bonding
for infrastructure costs is the best tool for single-family development.
Discussion was held how manufactured homes or tiny homes might fit into using the
tools reviewed.
3) What is Being Done in Other Communities to Address Affordable Housing —
"Ideas" (Dan — 10 minutes)
Dan Jochum, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, provided an overview of developments
that are occurring in other communities. These includes smaller lot sizes (more homes,
smaller homes, smaller side yards), developments with private roads/alleys with garages
on the back side, attached/condo housing (garage in the back, tuck under), and tiny
homes.
Council Member May noted that he would like to see different concepts put forth by the
developers, such as multi -family condos/rowhomes/etc.
4) Questions/Conversations/Developing Ideas and/or Directions (Council
Members and Attendees — 30 minutes)
Council Member Sebesta asked if the zoning code would need to be revised at all to
accommodate some different housing concepts. Mr. Jochum noted that the current
zoning code is flexible. Staff needs to hear from developers on types of developments
that they would like to deliver. Creative multi -family developments are what is desired.
Developments with alleys are good concepts as well.
5) Next Steps/Action Items/Developing a Plan (10 minutes)
Motion by May, second by Burley, to adjourn at 5:25 p.m.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
In 2022, the Public Works Director/City Engineer position was vacated. At that time, it was
determined that the vacancy would be filled with a Public Works Director and the City would
contract with SEH for any engineering needs outside of what could be done internally. This has
been a good partnership, but now that the Public Works Director has been on board for over a
year, the need to create a separate City Engineer position to better support operations has
become a priority. The position was included in the 2024 budget.

Approve Water Meter Replacement project adopted in 2022 Capital Improvement Plan.

and typically find meter accuracy is 5-10 % slow at low flows (meaning that the meter is failing in
favor of the customer). The project includes the replacement of all residential water meters
(approximately 4500) over the next 3 years. The City will direct purchase the water meters. This
project will include the hiring of a contractor to complete the install given the duration and size of
the project. Current estimated cost is $1.3M over the next three years. The anticipated bid

Our City Has a Pioneering organics Collection Service
and a Revenue -Generating Composting Business
• Hutchinson's organics collection service,
active since 2000, is one of the first of its kind
in the state.
• We compost yard waste, producing widely
popular bagged compost and soils products.
• CreekSide is a city -owned facility. it is a
revenue -generating business that puts money
right back into our community services and
local parks.
I�Our City's 3 Challenges
with Organics Carts
#1 Plastic bags and other non-
compostables get put in organics carts:
material collected from household
organics carts is unsellable.
#2 Not enough food scraps diverted. We
are throwing out valuable material that
could be composted.
#3 Not enough households use their
organics carts.

Staffing Changes for Retirements
In March 2023, Mary Haugen, the Recreation Facilities Operations Manager, retired after serving
the City of Hutchinson PRCE Department for 42 years. Similarly, John McRaith, the Recreation
Services Coordinator, also retired in March 2023 after serving the department for 41 years.
Following their retirements, the department saw an opportunity to evaluate and adjust the
current job positions for the betterment of the department as a whole. Both job positions were
reviewed, changes were made, and Randy Carter was hired as the PRCE Facilities Maintenance
Manager in March 2023. In April 2023, Casey Hagert was hired as the Recreation Manager.
Moreover, during the retirement and evaluation process, there was a vacant position for the PT
Recreation Coordinator and Aquatic Center Manager. As a result, the department decided to
combine these two positions to create a full-time Recreation Programmer position that would
focus on aquatics and additional programming opportunities.

Bike and Pedestrian Network
Hutchinson has made it a priority to create a connected system of bike trails, sidewalks, and on -

Sidewalks and bike lanes are mainly within the core downtown neighborhoods. The existing
system includes:
• 33.5 miles of sidewalks
• 35 miles of paved trails + 3 miles of unpaved trails
16 miles of bike -friendly streets
• 3 miles of bike lanes
• Luce Line State Trail
The City is served regionally by the Luce Line State Trail, a 63-mile long former railroad grade
which was developed for biking, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, snowmobiling, and
skiing. The trail connects the western Twin Cities with Independence, Watertown, Winsted, Silver
Lake, Hutchinson, Cedar Mills, and Cosmos. The trail surface varies along its course, including
limestone, with a parallel treadway of horseback riding, paved bituminous, crushed granite, and
natural (mowed grass). Snowmobiles are allowed on the trail west of Stubbs's Bay Road.

Parks and Natural Resources
Staff Responsible: Sara Witte, Parks Manager
The Hutchinson Parks Department was fortunate to have
several volunteer groups assist in various park improvement
projects. These groups included local agencies, civic
organizations, sports teams, and various local schools that
helped with park and trail clean-ups, mulching, shelter and
picnic table cleaning, invasive removals along the
riverbank, and more. The partnership with HHS Ag-Science
classes continued to benefit the district and the city.
Students helped with clean-up in parks within walking
distance from school locations, tree planting/mulching, site
preparation and plant installation around three elementary school signs, and replacement
plants on the Police Memorial berm. This partnership saved more than 1000 hours of labor.
In 2023, the PRCE Department saw the retirements of the Recreation Coordinator and Facilities
Manager, and the Parks Department also experienced changes. Long-time Parks Maintenance
Specialist, Randy Carter, transitioned into his new position as PRCE Facilities Maintenance
Manager, leaving the Parks Department
to find another individual to assist the
Parks Manager with long-range planning
of projects/cost estimates and more
importantly, leadership and direction in
daily park operations. Tenured
maintenance employee, Chris Hutton,
applied for the position and was offered
the job of Parks Maintenance Lead
Operator in July. With that, the Park
Maintenance Operator position was
posted, and Andy Bentz, a former Parks
Maintenance full-time operator, applied, interviewed, and was offered the job. Andy moved
back to Hutchinson from out of state and started his position in September. Seasonal staffing
levels remained the same for parks, with summer being the
busiest time. The department is grateful for the hard-working
group of summer seasonal staff that join the team each year. wr���
The Department is grateful for the good working relationship they
have with the HPD and all other city departments. Vandalism
continued to be an issue in the parks system and other public
spaces throughout the community. The installation of security
cameras at multiple park locations, Masonic West River
campground, and the Parks Shop allowed the department to
track activity and solidified the need for keyed locks at the
campground showers to allow for paying -only customers to use
the shower facility. This measure drastically reduced the number
of negative behaviors happening at the campground. Portable
surveillance cameras from the Hutchinson Police Department are
still used in parks that do not have permanent security cameras.

Burich Arena
Staff Responsible: Randy Carter, PRCE Facilities Maintenance Manager
In 2023, the city worked on finalizing construction and
remodeling outside facilities. The staff achieved new
landscaping and a dedicated memorial corner near the
East Arena. HHA also contributed $2,400 towards a new
metal bench and a concrete pad for it to sit on. The new
HVAC equipment was installed, and multiple tests were
initiated before the final test, which needed to be done
after the ice was installed to ensure adequate proficiency.
The staff is responsible for finishing the painting of the inside
of the arena, which is receiving a new look by changing to �.
more neutral colors. The city is working with HHA, HFSA, and other user groups to come up with
better plans for Facility Guidelines, Rules, and Regulations and better management of space
that is used for storage, warm-up areas, and shooting areas.
The facilities plan for both Burich Arenas is to come up with a Facility Management Plan that
encompasses a higher level of Scheduled Maintenance, a cleaner and more desirable place
for activities, and a safer environment for all spectators, players, and employees. The staff will be
assessing all aspects of the buildings to best utilize the space, come up with better ways to
achieve optimal usage within the Facility, promote safety to the users, and plan for
scheduled/routine maintenance while trying to add more user groups.
In 2023, the staff spent time exploring a potential partnership with an NA3HL Junior Hockey team.
A team from Iowa is looking to move to Minnesota, and the staff is considering the proposal. The
team would have approximately 20 home games from September to March and would
compete with other teams throughout Minnesota.
2023 Burich Arena Accomplishments
• Ice Time Sold = 2,478 hours.

Hutchinson Recreation Center/Hutchinson Aquatic Center
Staff Responsible: Randy Carter, Facilities Maintenance Manager
Casey Hagert, Recreation Manager
Following a challenging Aquatic Season in the
Summer of 2023, the PRCE staff called upon
Global Systems and Aquatronics to assess the
Aquatic Center's condition. Upon inspection of the
mechanical units and filtration system by both
companies, four major issues were identified:
• The key issue is the Variable Frequency
Drive (VLT): The electric motors VLT needs
to be reprogrammed as it is unresponsive
to any command. This unit controls the
Defender Filtration system and regulates
the electric motor's speed.
• The Surge tank, which collects excess
water during entry and exit from the pool, was inaccurately plumbed during installation
in 2017. This has resulted in a large amount of air being drawn into the filtration system,
causing a loss of suction, and consequently, pressure throughout the entire system.
• The feed controller lines control the amount of chemicals applied to the pool for
balancing. However, they were plumbed in the negative side of the pool lines, resulting
in low-pressure readings. Relocating them to the positive side of the water flow will
improve the water pressure and readings.
• The Defender unit is responsible for filtering all the pool water. Both units need to be
chemically cleaned and resealed with new top plate gaskets. This has not been done
since the pool's opening in 2017.
To address the underlying issues systematically, it is recommended to develop a comprehensive
maintenance plan. This plan will include regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and
equipment replacements, where necessary. This will ensure the prolonged functionality of the
mechanical systems. To eliminate potential future issues, it is necessary to add the Aquatic
Center Pump House to the City Network. The PRCE staff has already had initial conversations
with IT staff and it will be a priority to get this completed before the 2024 aquatic season. With
the pump house being on the City's
Network, the VLT will automatically
update when necessary and staff will be
able to receive real-time communication
on all the mechanical components.
Budgetary, we will continue to work to
keep Hutchinson Family Aquatic Center
and Recreation Center looking and
performing like new. Our recent
investments continue to pay off as
programs and participation at our
facilities remain strong.
Aquatics is a multifaceted operation for
PRCE and includes operating the aquatic
center, fitness programming, swim
lessons, private rentals, and concessions.
14
We continue to hire, train, and coach
quality seasonal employees. We will reach
out to former aquatic staff members and
recruit and train new staff.
In 2023, the aquatic center was open from
June 9 to August 18 with lap swim being
available through August 25. PRCE offers
several options for admission, including daily
passes, discounted punch passes, and
i
season passes. The most popular pass is the
family pass. An individual pass is $100 and t'
each additional family member is an
additional $40. The most frequently
purchased pass was the family of 4 passes. A total of 1,350 family passes were sold in 2023.
During the approximate 70-day season, a total of 38,816 check ins were recorded;
approximately 554 check -ins per day or 69 per hour. These check -ins did not include those who
utilized the pool during private rentals or for scheduled activities such as the Tiger and Sharks
swimming program.

Swim lessons are an important component of any Parks and Recreation department. The
program teaches life-long and a life-saving skill set. According to the American Red Cross,
drowning is the leading cause of death for children in the United States. PRCE helps combat this
statistic in the community by offering a wide variety of swim lessons each summer. In 2023, a
total of 649 registrations were taken for the swim lesson program.

The concession stand is a large part of the aquatic center's operation. Items including hotdogs,
popcorn, nachos, pretzels, candy, and ice cream are sold from the concession stand. In 2023, a
total of 11,331 transactions were processed through the Aquatic's concessions stand. A total of
24,940 items were sold for a total of $70,686 in sales; approximately $1,009 per day. The most
popular item sold in 2023 was the pretzel with cheese with 3618 being sold. Other popular items
included ice cream sundaes, slushies, pizza, and nachos with cheese.

Another major component of PRCE operations is the Recreation
Center Gymnasium. Heavily utilized September -May, this facility
hosts several different activities and opportunities. Open
pickleball and open gym provide opportunities for the
community to utilize the space for physical fitness and social
interaction. Open gym provides an opportunity for community
members to explore recreation as they please; whether it be
basketball, pickleball, walking, etc. Open pickleball is a set -aside
time that is specific for playing pickleball. Participation during
open pickleball has doubled from 2022. To help meet this
demand, additional open pickleball opportunities have been
added to the schedule as well as private court rentals specifically
for pickleball.
The indoor playground program is
another popular opportunity in
the gymnasium. This program is offered for children ages birth to
5 years. The indoor playground program provides children a
safe place to develop important life skills including
communication, creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, problem -
solving, conflict management, collaboration, and more. During
play, children are also developing fine and gross motor skills;
helping them achieve important developmental milestones.
Child psychologist Jean Piaget said, "Play is the work of
children." Mr. Rogers expanded upon that stating "Play is often
talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning but for
children, play is serious learning." Learning and developing these
skills at a young age sets the stage for well-rounded, emotionally
intelligent children who are more prepared to transition to the
school environment and have long-term impacts that can be seen through adulthood
addition, this program helps support in -home daycare providers, who
help the community meet the extreme demand for childcare 14
services in Hutchinson, by providing the space, time, and equipment
to engage children in active play opportunities. Furthermore, families
can utilize the program to come engage and play as a family unit
when outdoor opportunities may be less accessible.
In addition to internal programming, the Recreation Center gym and
PRCE support the community by hosting opportunities that may
otherwise not have a home. Specifically, from approximately 2:30-5
pm, Monday -Friday, the gymnasium hosts middle school athletics
including boys' and girls' basketball, and becomes an indoor
practice facility in the spring when fields may not be suitable for play.
The gym is also utilized by several youth athletic associations hosting
JO volleyball practices, basketball tournaments, and more.
In
2024 is a year we look to continue to refine operations and create more opportunities to best
meet the needs of the community.

Recreational Programming
Staff Responsible: Casey Hagert, Recreation Manager
2023 was a year of observation and evaluation; taking
time to view current operations and look for areas of
improvement. One focus of the department has been to
create policies and procedures for facility and program
operations. This includes facility policies, open gym rules,
and open pickleball procedures. Documenting policies is
important for several reasons. One of the most important is
to set expectations with guests while providing consistent
information and communication as a department. Policies
and procedures are created not to restrict the user
experience but instead are intended to help provide
clarity and create a cohesive and welcoming
environment It is the
hope that by implementing these procedures, the facility and
department will run smoothly and provide high -quality
customer service to the community.
rJ
Along the same lines, PRCE has started to create contracts and
agreements with partners to better document and clarify roles,
responsibilities, and relationships. Documenting the terms of a
relationship helps create a better understanding between the
parties and also allows for consistency from year to year.
Turnover can occur in businesses, associations as well as in
PRCE. Relationships between the department and others
should be independent of the individuals within those roles and
should continue with consistency if and when individuals move
0 on. Having
documentation outlining
relationships helps us achieve this goal.
The objectives above are set to help us further achieve our
goal in 2024 to better serve the community by providing
high -quality service, clear and transparent communication
as well mainstreaming operations of facilities.
Programming
PRCE offers many youth sports leagues that serve as an
introduction to a sport for community youth. Age ranges
vary for the leagues but most are designed to serve Pre-K - 41h Grade. Some leagues, such as
tackle football and travel soccer, serve an older age group when an opportunity for that sport
may not exist until middle school. A total of 1064 youth participated in PRCE-managed leagues
with soccer having the most participation. Soccer is offered for Pre-K through 6th grade in both
spring and fall.
19
A major component of youth sports through PRCE is the sponsorship program. Community
businesses help cover the costs of team uniforms and keep registration fees low. In 2023, 66
sponsors supported a total of 122 youth teams.
In addition to sponsors, volunteer coaches are a vital part of the youth sports programs. All
youth sports teams run through PRCE are coached by volunteer coaches: oftentimes, each
team is assigned two volunteer coaches. Being volunteer -based is another factor in keeping
fees low. It was determined that more guidance and support was needed for volunteer
coaches and in 2023 online coaching clinics were hosted to provide all volunteers with the tools
necessary to be confident in their roles. This included sharing the overall mission of the program,
practice plans, games, and overall structure of the program. It was also a great opportunity for
coaches to ask questions and feel more confident in their role in supporting the community.

In addition to the league format, PRCE offers lessons for other activities including tennis,
gymnastics, and ice skating. These programs, much like the leagues, serve as an opportunity for
youth to try something new, and in the case of tennis and skate school, develop those skills and
advance to a higher level of the program.

Furthermore, PRCE helps support youth sports when other avenues do not exist within the
community. Currently, PRCE manages the youth fastpitch program. Previously, this program
was supported through a governing youth association much like many of the other sports in
Hutchinson. When the association disbanded, PRCE took over the program ensuring the
opportunity would continue to be provided for the community.

PRCE's mission goes beyond serving the youth of Hutchinson and aims to serve all demographics
from birth to the end of lite. PRCE offers opportunities including open gym, open pickleball,
open soccer as well as organized adult sports leagues. Presently. PRCE offers adult leagues for
three sports; slow -pitch softball, sand volleyball, and indoor volleyball. Indoor volleyball is offered
as both a fall and winter league. On average, an adult softball team rosters approximately 20
individuals and a volleyball team rosters about 10 individuals. Using those numbers. PRCE's most
popular leagues serve approximately 250 individuals per season.

2023 Recreational Programming Accomplishments
• Development of standard operating procedures and policies: To better manage the
Recreation Center, PRCE has begun developing more comprehensive standard
operating procedures and policies. Some unwritten rules and guidelines existed,
however, there was a lot of inconsistency in enforcing these. By developing and
documenting these procedures, the department can provide more consistent services to
the public allow for the publishing of these policies, and be more transparent and clearer
with the public.
• Contracts & Agreements: Clearly defining relationships and responsibilities within a
partnership is vital. As part of the effort to provide equitable services to youth
associations and to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of everyone; PRCE has
begun to develop comprehensive agreements and understandings that help drive and
direct these partnerships. It's important to document the terms of a relationship so it can
be referenced in the future. Changes in boards happen frequently and changes within
roles here in PRCE can turnover, so documenting and establishing the duties in
relationships is important so operations can proceed seamlessly regardless of who's in a
role.
• Sponsorship Program: The sponsorship program has been revamped. Moving forward,
potential sponsors will be asked to opt into a sponsorship on an annual basis for youth
sports sponsorships. This allows sponsors more flexibility in what they are sponsoring and
when. Additionally, contracts are being developed for long-term sponsorships including
ball field and facility sponsors.
• Online League Schedules: All schedules for youth and adult leagues have been moved
to an online platform; Team Sideline. Online schedules allow easier access for the public
and allow for real-time changes to be reflected immediately; helping reduce confusion
from participants and family members when having to reference potentially outdated
copies or having to ensure they have the most up-to-date one. Additionally, this online
platform allows for standings for adult leagues to be viewable at any time from a
computer or phone. Participants do not need to come to the facility or wait until the
following week to get updates.
2024 Recreational Programming Goals
• Develop and Implement Policies & Procedures:
o Data Tracking: Data drives decisions and direction. Tracking Rec Center visitors
will help drive long-term planning and help dictate gym schedules and identify
needs. Utilizing Civic Rec and scannable passes is one option to better track
which activities, days of the week, and times of day people are visiting.
o Aquatics Policies & Procedures: Safety is always priority number one and good
lifeguarding is preventative lifeguarding. Evaluating aquatic center operations as
well as policies and procedures is vital to achieving these goals. Developing rules
and empowering staff to enforce rules will help achieve our goal of safety.
o Association Agreement: Development of an overall Youth Athletic Association
Agreement is currently in the works. This document will be the overarching
document that guides relationships between PRCE and youth athletic
associations. The document would define what a youth athletic association is,
how to become a city -recognized association, what the general partnership
looks like, and expectations for associations that wish to utilize city -owned
facilities. This agreement will be presented to the Parks and Recreation advisory
board for input and approval.
22
Development of Staff Manuals: Staff manuals, much like contracts, agreements,
policies, etc., help drive work direction and create clarity in duties. Creating a
strong team is vital to creating high -quality services and that begins by having a
strong foundation to help lead staff. Staff manuals establish clear expectations
and lay out how to perform job duties. Developing staff manuals is the first step in
creating a strong, cohesive team; training team members on the staff manual
continuing to touch base, and hosting team -building activities are other facets of
a strong team.
Team development: Hiring a full-time Recreation Coordinator and creating
proper workflows will help improve overall function. Clearly defining who is
responsible for what tasks, who reports to whom, and communicating this with
staff will improve overall teamwork and communication. Le. Recreation
Manager > Recreation Coordinator > Concession Manager > Concession Lead >
Concession Team Member
o Improving overall concession stand operations is a big goal in 2024. Developing
staff manuals and clearly defining cleaning schedules will help improve overall
operations. Additionally, improving the efficiency of the concession stand will
help improve the visitor experience. Things such as creating large and clear
menus to be placed in a -frames on the pool deck, reducing the size of the menu,
and ordering pre -packaged food; such as ready -to -use popcorn packets,
prebagged nacho chips, etc. will help reduce the workload of staff and improve
speed of service.
Improve Clarity, Transparency, and Ease of Access for the community.
o Online Reservations: Allowing multiple avenues for reservations improves
customer experience. Transitioning reservations online allows the public to make
a reservation quickly and on their own time. Things such as indoor pickleball
court reservations, birthday party reservations, and party tent reservations will be
implemented in 2024. This will also help alleviate the phone calls and time that is
currently dedicated to making these reservations allowing front desk staff to focus
on other things to further enhance the community experience.
o Website Updates: Lots of avenues exist for accessing information. Facebook,
program guides, registration software, email blasts, third -party groups, etc. The
PRCE website is one of those hubs. With information everywhere, it's important to
ensure that that information is updated in all places. Regularly scheduled
website audits will help ensure accuracy. Additionally, taking a look at the
website deciding what information is needed, and building out those pages will
further provide clarity to the public. Adding a clear, frequently updated online
gym calendar will help with one of the biggest pinch points in current operations.
o Program Brochure: Evaluating the seasonal brochures to determine the best
layout and how to most efficiently communicate information to the public is
another goal for the department. Continuity throughout the guide, creating
standard expectations and layouts for program offerings, and ensuring ADA
compliance will all help create a clear, easily readable brochure.
Provide High -Quality services to the public:
o Equipment Replacement: Evaluating which equipment is outdated and creating
a priority replacement schedule will help drive purchases. Looking ahead and
evaluating what equipment; such as football helmets; needs replacing will help
the department seek out grants and other funding options.
o Needs assessment: Perform a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities & Threats) to determine the program needs of the community.

Hutchinson Event Center/ Hutchinson Senior Center
Staff Responsible: Jennifer Behrendt, Senior Center/ Event Center Programmer
The last few years have brought many changes to
the Hutchinson Event Center. The end of 2022
brought the departure of all part-time staff; leaving
only 2 staff members (1 full-time, 1 part-time) to
continue with modified operations. The Hutchinson
Event Center started a modified operation on
January 1, 2023, meaning all rentals were to be
held Monday - Friday between the hours of 9 am-3
pm. The Event Center was a host location for 65
events in 2023; 46 business events and 19 city
events. 2023 was the first year River of Hope leased
their space from the City versus renting every week.
Church meets at the Event Center every Sunday
and many times throughout the week for various
activities such as confirmation, bible studies, meetings, etc. With fewer rentals this past year, it
allowed staff time to deep clean the center along with decluttering and organizing storage
areas.
The Senior Center remains a welcoming gathering place
for area seniors. The center did see an increase in
attendance in 2023; around 12,531 seniors were through
the door compared to 10,327 in 2022.
The Knot Just Knitters group completed yet another
community knitting project. Over 125 handmade/knitted
scarves, hats, and mittens were donated. All items were
then distributed to local agencies such as the McLeod
County Food Shelf and Common Cup Ministries to give to
those in need.
Sr. Programmer, along with a fellow senior, held 3
decorative plate -making classes. These seem to be a
favorite; they are always asking for another class! There
were also two clothespin craft classes held. These classes brought in new seniors who do not
frequent the Center.
Several different speakers from different locations were brought in to present on many different
topics. Presentations included Medicare, dementia, caregiving, fraud, aging, and more. Classes
were very informative and seniors seem to enjoy when
these resources are available to them.
In hopes of promoting more active programs for seniors,
River walking/Lazy River, which is held at the Aquatic
Center, was advertised in our monthly Senior Newsletter;
16 seniors took advantage. The center handed out a
one -day free pool pass to fitness time during the months
the pool was open. The center also tried to establish a
weekly walking group. There was positive feedback for
starting the group, however it slowly phased itself out as
fewer and fewer people participated. Bean bags
continue to hold steady; there will more than likely be a
24
second playing time for 2024. Ping pong has a solid group that shows up 1-3 times a week. Our
kayaking group remains strong with participation numbers, usually doing 2-3 outings a month,
from May to September. A handful of outings were canceled due to the extreme heat this
summer; 99 attended throughout the summer gatherings.
The Sr. Center Programmer and tour coordinator volunteer attended a tour expo at Base Camp
in St. Paul on January 1 Oth hoping to generate new ideas for upcoming tours. Our tour program
is well received and most tours sell out at a max of 45 participants. A couple of tours did not go
over as well as expected and the center took a hit. Even with that being said, the tour program
generated $1,073.17 for 2023.
The Card Making Club meets every Tuesday at 9:15 am. They recycle old, donated greeting
cards into new ones and sell them for $0.60 each. This is a fundraiser for the Senior Center. In
2023 they brought in $888.60 (1,481 cards).
The Center held its Annual Book & Puzzle Sale on August 28 & 29. This is a fundraiser that was
started 3 years ago and continues to be very successful. All books and puzzles are donated. It
takes about one week to set up for the two-day sale; this includes taping all puzzle boxes shut,
pricing, and organizing all items. All books are $0.25 and puzzles range from $0.25- $1.00.
In 2023, the Book & Puzzle sale brought in $1,644.50 for the Senior Center.

• Summary: The numbers for 2023: 211 Activities and
camps offered with 4,174 participants
Hutchinson Community Education provides lifelong learning experiences for people of all ages,
abilities, and cultures through programs and services. Classes are creatively designed and
generated from interests and trends. Instructors and coaches offer activities in which they have
knowledge, experience, or a skill creating a positive impact in our community with an
opportunity to grow as individuals. Community Education is located in the Recreation Center
and activities are held at Hutchinson Public Schools, Recreation Center, park shelters, and local
businesses.
Participation in activities is steady and strong! The buzz here and at other Minnesota Community
Education Association communities is that the numbers are tracking like pre-Covid. People are
registering early and also waiting to register until closer to the start date of an
activity. Communication with instructors continues to flow back and forth to assist in making
decisions regarding holding or canceling their activity, requesting additional social media
advertisements, and in some cases, direct email to past participants. Attending online activities
gained popularity with the general adult activity offerings. For the in -person activities, instructors
continue to hold their activity with less minimum number of participants in attendance to hold
their activity, providing wonderful opportunities. Online activities continue to grow in popularity
and instructors can host multiple schools with combined registrations.

PRCE started a second new registration system within two years, CivicRec, scheduled to start
using January 2023. PRCE staff participated in another set of online training sessions throughout
the fall of 2022. The new system, CivicRec, appears to be more user-friendly during the
registration process than the previous ActiveNet system, but report extracting
is a little more challenging with having to sometimes run two reports instead of
one to retrieve information.
_ ) Community Education is required to submit an annual report to the Minnesota
Department of Education (MDE) from school districts having a community
education levy. The report period is July 1 to June 30. This report is available
to view at the Community Education office.
School Facility Rentals and Usage
Community Education coordinates rentals and facility use for Hutchinson Public Schools
started as a minimal hand-written task and
transformed into a detailed online system.
Through the years, school renovations changed
inside - classrooms were renumbered or
demolished, a new school was built, and
outdoor fields and parking lots, all these changes
are updated in rSchool Today, setting up the
layout in location and availability for each room
in each building. This type of maintenance in the
online system, rSchool Today, is necessary to
This
ensure the system is working efficiently and locations are current. Another type of maintenance
in rSchool Today is setting up notable days from the school -approved academic calendar,
first/last day of school, non -school days, workshop days, conference days, holidays, scheduled
late start/early out days, and which days are reservable and which ones are non -reservable
holidays. Noting these days helps staff and customers to easily identify what may be happening
within the school buildings as they are creating their reservations from July 1 to June 30 and
whether or not it affects a reservation. Staff are asked to enter their reservations for the
upcoming school year by June 30 and rentals for public open around July 15 each year.

Hutchinson Adult Basic Education
Submitted by Shari Brunes
Hutchinson Adult Education is located at Ridgewater
College in room 145. Our mission is to provide adults
aged 17+ with educational opportunities to acquire
and improve literacy skills. Licensed teachers are in the
room to meet the needs of learners four days a week.
Our schedule includes both daytime and evening
hours and provides a total of 25 in -person instructional
hours weekly for students. Additional hours are
available for students who want to work remotely.
Programming is offered twelve months a year.
rkVI ,,
Engage, Equip, Empower
Glacial Lakes Consortium
The Hutchinson Adult Education site is co -located with Ridgewater College and the CareerForce
Center. Because of this, we have been able to develop programs to assist learners with
academic skills, employment preparation, obtaining certifications, and college readiness goals.
We continue to build on relationships with groups in the community including the public library,
employers, and community organizations. Adult Education is a valuable component of
Hutchinson's Community Education program, meeting the needs of many individuals from the
surrounding area by making them better family members, employees, and citizens.
Adult Basic Education 2022-2023
For the 2022-2023 state academic year (May 1, 2022, to April 30, 2023), 201 students attended for
a total of 5,569 contact hours. These numbers are exciting and show a strong increase of 14%
over last year. This is significant as attendance numbers across the state were down. Students
who attend 12 or more hours are considered participants. Hutchinson Adult Education had 101
participants for the year. The average student attended for 27.75 hours.
Working with our Regional Transitions Coordinator, Mary Kate
Lews in Mankato, we have designed and delivered online
career pathway courses with other Adult Education programs
in Southwest Minnesota. In the past, individual Adult Education
programs have offered these kinds of classes, but it is always a
challenge to enroll enough students. We have received
Transitions grant funding to offer courses in Paraprofessional
Training, Child Development, and Google Computer Skills. We
have recruited students from Hutchinson to Mankato and
beyond. These courses were piloted in 2021 and this innovative
model is now being replicated across the state.
Megional Unline Lnglisn Language classes are otterea three
evenings per week. There are 5 different levels to meet the needs of all English language
learners. These classes are very popular and are often full.
Learners participated in a variety of programming including classroom hours, distance (online)
learning, basic computer classes, grant -sponsored classes, and collaborative classes with the
college and CareerForce.
30
Students continue to take and pass GED tests. 30 Hutchinson Adult
Education students earned a GED Diploma. The state of Minnesota has a
legislative appropriation this year that provides one free test in each
subject area. Our local Free GED Testing Fund, in partnership with the
Ridgewater College Foundation, is being used to provide free GED
Ready practice tests and additional financial support to students who
study in our program for 12+ hours.
One GED student, 80+-year-old Sam Flom, gained statewide attention
last spring and was interviewed on WCCO and Fox 9. Sam's message of persistence and
determination is inspirational to many. Sam continues to work with us on his educational goals.

Early Childhood Family Education
Submitted by Mary Myers-Reinarts
Data for January -December 2023
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) offers a variety of
class options for families with young children. We run during the
Hutchinson Public School District's school year, with a summer
session added for the first time in Summer 2023. Sibling care is
available for most classes upon request. A sliding fee scale and
scholarships support and encourage families of all income
levels to participate in our classes. NO family is ever turned
away due to inability to pay.
EARLY CHILDHOOD
ECFE classes include separating and non -separating classes, FAMILY EDUCATION
parent -only classes, family events, and special one-time
classes. Offerings this year included sessions of parent -child classes that ran for 6 to 16 weeks per
session, special one-time events, and an ongoing open playtime class. We were unable to
garner enough participants to hold any parent -only classes. Summer classes were offered for
summer 2023, and all classes were filled.
Is 1
ECFE recognizes and supports parents/guardians as a child's first
and most significant teacher. Our mission is to strengthen each
family unit through education and support while
providing the best possible environment for the healthy growth
and development of their child. Our 2023 offerings included
classes for specific age levels such as Busy Babies, Wonderful
Ones, Terrific Twos, and Playful Preschoolers, as well as classes for
mixed age groups such as Ones & Twos, Family Times, Toddler
Time, and Open Play. Baby classes all year continued to be slow to
fill. We have learned that parents with new babies are most likely
to register a week or two before the class start date. We adopted
the practice of leaving registration open throughout the session to
accommodate families as babies are born. All baby classes are
offered at no cost.
As an outreach to families with new babies, we restructured our Baby Bucket program. We
created a baby bag that includes a "Future Tiger" t-shirt, a hardcover children's board book,
and assorted pamphlets/gifts from community agencies. Our Welcome Baby postcard was also
redesigned. Parents are invited to attend a free class with their new baby and to pick up a free
baby bag from the Early Learning office.
We adjusted our ECFE sliding fee scale in winter/spring 2023 to reduce the overall cost for
families. Our goal was to keep all classes under $100 for the full cost of the class. Families
responded favorably to this change. In fall 2023, we again adjusted the sliding fee scale to just
three tiers: full, half, and free. We also adjusted the registration process to allow all families to
choose their rate at the time of registration, even if they were choosing the $0 rate. Families
have been very responsive and respectful of this process.
In April of 2023, we held a successful Week of the Young Child celebration. Work Together
Wednesday was a big hit as families built structures using large boxes navigated obstacle
courses in the gym, and then created art projects and shared a snack in the cafeteria. This was
a free event, with an option for families to make a free-will donation. Parent feedback indicated
33
that they would like more of these events in the future. We also held two specialty classes in
September and December of 2023, Apple Time and Mitten Mix Up. Registration was slow, and
none of the classes were filled.
2023 was a very successful year for Hutchinson ECFE. Along with classes, we have a robust
Parent Advisory Committee that meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month. Input from
the members has been very helpful in enhancing programming and the members are
committed volunteers at our special events.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
After nearly 5 years in the making, staff is finally at a point to proceed to construction of the new Covered
Aerated Static Pile (CASP) composting system at Creekside for the food waste and curbside organic material
received. The CASP system would be replacing the in -vessel composting system that Creekside has
employed for the last 23+ years.
Staff publicly solicited bids from contractors with the bid opening taking place on 3/22/24. One bid was
received from Vos Construction of Green Isle, MN for the CASP construction and installation project, see
included tabulation. The project Base Bid is spec'd using poured in place concrete bunkers whereas the
Alternate is spec'd using pre -cast T-panels (similar to what you may see on a farm for silage bunkers). Per
the included Letter of Recommendation from Foth Infrastructure & Environment, it is staffs recommendation
to proceed with the Base Bid price of $613,010.00 using poured in place bunker walls. As quantified in the
Letter of Recommendation, the additional cost of $73,900.00 for poured walls in the Base Bid will provide
structural integrity, which translates into a longer useful life, and overall general safety to the bunker system.
Per the Refuse Fund's 5-year CIP, $507,500 was budgeted for this project. The higher cost was discussed
with City Finance, and they are comfortable proceeding at the higher bid price. Electrical installation is not
included, that work will be solicited at a later date near completion of the construction. Electrical is anticipated
to cost $10,000415,000.
Pending approval, construction is anticipated to begin in May and be fully completed by October.

RE: Covered Aerated Static Pile (GASP) Installation
Bid Review — Recommendation
Foth has reviewed the bid received from Vos Construction for the Covered Aerated Static Pile
(CASP) Installation project. The bid information requested in the invitation for bids appears to be
in order with the exception of the references. However, the CreekSide and the City have
previous experience working with Vos construction and may be comfortable waiving this
request.
The pricing received for the project appear to be in line with bids recently received for similar
work and is considered reasonable. In reviewing the bid alternate for prefabricated walls, it is
our opinion that the additional cost for the base bid (poured walls) is reasonable and
recommended. This recommendation is based on the improved structural stability and
anticipated improved longevity of the poured walls as compared to the refabricated walls.
There appears to be some rounding errors in the unit prices as compared to the total bid. The
difference is minimal ($2.16) and it is recommended to use a bid total with the poured walls of
$613,010.00.

Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding and program details. Imani overviewed Clean
Energy Resource Teams Seed Grant program which awards grants for community
based clean energy and efficiency M to $10,000 dollars per award. The Rewiring
America federal incentives are part of the IRA and total $369 billion, and are
intended on generating 550 gigawatts of renewable energy over the next decade
nationwide. The IRA programs include financial incentives for businesses and farms.

buildings and require a 25% utility usage reduction to qualify. She also prompted
discussion about Direct Pay incentives that cities qualify for that cover up to 30% of
electrical vehicle costs as well as solar photovoltaics. Open discussion about the
various programs was held to learn more about what types of projects could be
pursued in the future.
B. SWC RESILIENCY GRANT — OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT

provided by the community and City staff to calibrate and refine the model.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
A. DROUGHT RESPONSE PLAN UPDATE
John Paulson updated the board on the City's efforts this fall to reduce water use
demand in response to the DNR's drought designation requiring water suppliers
implement water conservation efforts in their service area. The drought desianation
was lifted in McLeod County in early November. City staff observed a drop in the
ground water elevations that were approaching action levels typical of high water
use in the community. No further conservation measures are required at this time.
B. LEAD COPPER RULE REVISION UPDATE
John Paulson and Mike Stifter provided an overview of the City's plan to begin
inventorying all water services and the type of pipe materials used for each
property. The inventory must be completed by October 2024. If a confirmation of
the service type cannot be made before then the City will need to distribute
information about the water quality effects of having lead water service pipes. The
goal is to remove and replace all lead water services by 2035. Staff will continue to
collect inventory information and will begin to develop a plan to replace any
services that do not comply with the Lead Copper Rule Revision.
