10. APPROVE/DENY RESOLUTION NO. 15837 — RESOLUTION CLOSING THE 2023 AND 2024
CONSTRUCTION FUNDS TO THE POLICE FACILITY CONSTRUCTION FUND
Andy Reid, Finance Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Reid noted that when the City
issues bonded debt for its annual roadway and infrastructure projects, a Construction Fund is
established to account for all project costs and funding sources. A Debt Service Fund is also created
to account for the debt service activity related to that year's bond issuance. When the construction
projects are fully complete and all costs have been incurred, the Construction Fund is typically
closed into the Debt Service Fund. These excess funds can also be transferred into another
Construction fund to cover a cash deficit, which the City has done in the recent past. Two
construction funds for roadway projects were completed in 2024 as follows: 2023 Construction fund
closed with $192,724.77 cash remaining and the 2024 Construction fund closed with $45,811.77
cash remaining. These funds have been closed and City staff is recommending that the cash
balances be transferred into the Police Construction Fund as opposed to the Debt Service Funds. The
debt
funds are healthy whereas the Police Construction fund has a cash deficit of $723,681.77 that
needs to be resolved. It was transparent during the Police facility construction process that the City
would need to fund the remaining project cost gap with Community Improvement dollars. Using the
$238,536 of excess cash from the two Construction funds will lessen the burden on the
Community Improvement fund for the final transfer.
Motion by Czmowski, second by May, to approve Resolution No. 15837. Motion carried
unanimously.
11. APPROVE/DENY RESOLUTION NO. 15838 — RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING FROM THE
COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT FUND TO THE POLICE FACILITY CONSTRUCTION FUND
Andy Reid, Finance Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Reid noted that with the Police
Facility construction project complete, staff is recommending a final transfer from the Community
Improvement fund in the amount of $723,681.77. The transfer will resolve the cash deficit within the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — February 25, 2025
construction fund and allow the fund to close as of 12/31/2024. The transfer amount includes
$525,960 of net proceeds from the sale of the old police department and Emergency Operations
Center which were deposited into the Community Improvement fund. That leaves a balance of
$197,721.77 being funded from cash reserves within the Community Improvement fund.
Motion by Czmowski, second by May, to approve Resolution No. 15838. Motion carried
unanimously.

EXHIBIT A.
Guiding Light Early Learning Childcare Center Reopening Project Proposal Narrative
Project Description, Design, and Methods
1. What is the geographic scope of the project?
2. What is the geographic scope of the project?
3. Why is the proposed project needed to increase the supply of quality childcare in the community?
4. What kind of solutions will be implemented to meet objectives of this grant?
5. How does the project demonstrate innovative approaches, techniques or strategies?
6. Does the proposed project use evidence -based or community -based best practices?
QUESTION 1
The project will primarily serve the City of Hutchinson, population 15,037. Realistically, the new childcare
center might draw from a 15-20 mile radius, but most users will likely be from town.
QUESTION 2
In 2023 First Children's Finance, a national organization focused exclusively on a providing a sustainable child
care supply, completed a childcare needs assessment for the City that documented the need for 414 additional
childcare slots. This project will provide 42 new slots initially, ramping up to 62 slots. When it reaches capacity,
this new childcare center will provide nearly 15% of the identified childcare needs of the community.
Like many communities, Hutchinson has a very significant workforce shortage. This is due in part to the
shortage of childcare options for families, which forces people out of the workforce in order to care for their
children at home. This project will be a significant step in remedying this situation.
QUESTION 3
This project is to reopen an existing, fully -equipped childcare center that had closed in 2022. The building,
classrooms, kitchenette and playground are in place and ready to go right now. When open, the center will
initially provide 42 new childcare slots, ramping up to a total of 62 childcare slots that will cater to all age
groups.
QUESTION 4
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024
The project is innovative in that it seeks to leverage an existing fully -equipped childcare facility that is currently
not being used to help meet local child care needs. All the physical components needed to open a childcare
center are in place and ready to go. Our only need is to get staffing into place.
The new childcare center will reply on proven strategies and best practices in its provision of childcare services
and in its business operations. Ongoing technical assistance is being provided by First Children's Finance.
QUESTION 5
Both in its provision of child care services and in its business operations the new childcare center will rely on
evidence -based best practices. First Children's Finance is providing extensive on -going technical assistance to
insure that the highest quality of evidence -based professional childcare is being provided. Additionally, the new
center's leadership team includes experienced business professionals, who will utilize evidence -based business
best practices to manage the administrative side of the operation.
Work Plan:
1. What are the key activities to be funded through this project?
2. What are the goals and measurable outcomes for this project?
3. What is the timetable for completion of the project?
4. Is the timetable achievable within the timeline of the grant?
QUESTION 1
A total of $80,000 is needed to re -open the childcare center. To accomplish this, funding would be utilized for
two key activities:
1. Staff up the childcare center ($65,000) - Long before any children arrive (and revenues start to flow) the
center must hire a Center Director and have teachers on staff. Even after the center opens, it will take a certain
amount of time for child enrollments and revenues to ramp up to a point where the childcare operation has a
positive cash -flow.
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024
2. Improve fencing ($15,000) - additional fencing is needed to segregate certain outdoor playground equipment
by age group.
Up -front funding is needed to carry the childcare center to the point where revenues meet and surpass
expenditures. Once the center is up and running it will be financially self-sufficient, so this is a one-time
investment that will provide significant long-term benefits for the community.
QUESTION 2
Measurable goals and the deadlines to accomplish each are as follows:
Goal 1: Complete organizational activities
December 31, 2024
Goal 2: Hire childcare center director
February 25, 2025
Goal 3: Hire childcare center teachers
March 31, 2025
Goal 4: Complete fencing improvement project
April 11, 2025
Goal 5: Be open to receive students
April 14, 2025
Goal 6: Have initial 42 childcare slots filled
December 31, 2025
Once these initial goals are attained and the childcare center is reliably covering its expenses, additional staff
will be hired to allow for the addition of infant and toddler slots, bringing the overall total to 62 child care slots
available. This is the physical limit the childcare center can accommodate, so we will be at 100% utilization.
Outcomes for the project will be: (1) opening 1 childcare provider; (2) creation of 7 full-time and 4 part-time
jobs; (3) creation of 42 childcare slots initially, ramping up to 62; and, (4) investment of at least $40,000 of
local funds.
QUESTION 3
Our goal is to have funding in place by December 31, 2024. By the end of the first quarter of 2025 (March 31st)
staffing will be in place. Beginning April 14, 2025, we plan to be enrolling children with a goal of having all
available childcare slots (42 initially) filled no later than December 31, 2025 (and probably much sooner).
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024
QUESTION 4
Yes, this project is "shovel -ready." All the facilities are in place, classrooms are ready, and the business side of
the operation will be in place by December 31, 2024. We're ready to go.
Partnerships:
1. Who are the financial and programmatic partners supporting this project?
2. What contributions will each partner make to the proposed project?
3. Will the partnerships support ongoing operations?
4. Does the proposal demonstrate meaningful collaboration with key partners?
5. Does the proposal demonstrate support from the communities in which the project will take place?
6. A letter of support from all partners identified. This should be included as part of the attachments.
QUESTION 1
Financial partners include Peace Lutheran Church, the Hutchinson Economic Development Authority, and First
Children's Finance.
Programmatic partners include Peace Lutheran Church, First Children's Finance, the City of Hutchinson, and
the Hutchinson Economic Development Authority.
QUESTION 2
Peace Lutheran Church - $2.5 million fully -equipped childcare facility
First Children's Finance - $19,919 grant towards project and extensive technical assistance
City of Hutchinson - fiscal agent for the project
Hutchinson EDA - grant writing & administration, project management on behalf of the City, and up to $20,081
towards the project (we'll try to bring in other financial partners as well)
QUESTION 3
Yes, technical assistance will be continuous so as to insure the continuing successful operation of the childcare
center.
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024 10
Once child enrollments reach a level that allows revenues to cover expenditures, it is expected the center will be
financially self-sufficient and sustainable. After the initial investment to launch the childcare center, ongoing
financial support will not be needed.
QUESTION 4
Very much so. Collaboration from each of the partners is essential for this project to succeed. Peace Lutheran
Church is providing the physical space; First Children's Finance, in addition to considerable ongoing technical
assistance, prepared a detailed Child Care Center Business Analysis that laid out a realistic financial model for
the childcare center along with proforma cash flow projections; the City and EDA are providing considerable
financial and technical support for the project; finally, the entire community is pulling for the success of this
project. Failure is not an option.
QUESTION 5
Yes. Given the huge need for additional childcare, this is very much a community project. In addition to the
active partners (Peace Lutheran Church, First Children's Finance, the City of Hutchinson, the Hutchinson EDA)
the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce and numerous members of the local business community are in support
of the project.
QUESTION 6
Letters of support are ATTACHED.
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024 11
Impact and Evaluation:
1. What is the number of childcare slots needed with the project area(s) to meet the needs -of families?
2. How many childcare slots will be created with this funding?
3. What is the cost (in state dollars) per new childcare slot created?
4. How will measurable outcomes be tracked?
5. How will evaluation material and outcomes be used to ensure the grant objectives are met?
6. Will the project utilize any community -based evaluation processes?
QUESTION 1
414 additional childcare slots are needed in the City of Hutchinson, according to a study completed by First
Children's Finance in 2023.
QUESTION 2
42 initially, ramping up to a total of 62 slots.
QUESTION 3
Cost per childcare slot created will be $952.38 for the initial 42 slots. When the project reaches its ultimate
capacity of 62 slots, the cost per slot will drop to $645.16.
QUESTION4
The Hutchinson EDA will visit the center regularly and obtain quarterly reports from the new childcare center
for project reporting purposes. Reports will document (1) attainment of intermediary project goals; (2) the
number of full-time and part-time jobs created; (3) number of new childcare slots created by age group; and (4)
the actual number of slots occupied by age group.
QUESTION 5
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024 12
The Hutchinson EDA will use the data collected to monitor the progress of the project, determine if sufficient
progress is being made and if additional assistance is needed to insure that grant objectives are being met.
QUESTION 6
Yes. In 2023 the Hutchinson community participated in the Rural Child Care Innovation Program (RCCIP)
offered by First Children's Finance. In addition to engaging multiple segments of the community to help them
understand the dimensions of the childcare crises, the RCCIP process provided considerable valuable
information to document the actual need for additional childcare slots in the community. Using that information
as a baseline, the Hutchinson EDA will collect data to evaluate progress towards meeting Child Care Economic
Development Grant objectives.
Grant Contract Agreement template for Competitively awarded, single/sole source, or formula grant process to Municipality FY25: Updated July 2024 13
EXHIBIT B.
Total Project Budget Narrative
A total of $80,000 is needed to bring the project to fruition.
$15,000 to provide for needed fencing to segregate certain outdoor playground equipment by appropriate age
group.
$65,000 to staff up the new childcare center. A Center Director and teachers need to be on -staff before the first
child arrives. As a result, the new childcare center will be incurring substantial expenses before any revenues
become available through child enrollments. Even when the center opens, it will take a certain amount of time
for child enrollments and revenues to ramp up to a point where the childcare operation breaks even.
Of the needed amount, $19,919 is currently on hand through a previously obtained First Children's Finance
grant that has been re -purposed for this project.
The Hutchinson Economic Development Authority will provide $20,081 - less any amount that may be raised
from other local sources (businesses, etc.).
The balance of $40,000 we hope to obtain via this grant proposal.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
The original fountain ceased to operate properly and needs to be repaired/replaced. We
obtained repair estimates and replacement pricing from Dulcett fountains in Minneapolis. We
selected them because they are an authorized distributor of the 2 main high volume fountain
brands and fountains are their primary focus. All the other fountain companies are landscapers
that also install fountains. Dulcett also offers deployment, withdrawal, maintenance, and storage
solutions. The repair estimate came in at just under half the price of a new fountain, around
$25,000 ($53,549 for new fountain, powerhead only). This, compounded with the fact that the
company who made the fountain (Flair) is out of business, led us to seek a replacement option.
The new fountain company has good longevity and will provide a warranty on the new fountain.
Attached is the discussion on repair, a memorandum from aquacontrols listing Dulcett as an
authorized distributor and service center, and the final price for the new fountain. Attached are
the discussions on repair, the distributor letter, and the total cost. The funding for this purchase
(total cost $115,400.85) is generously provided by the Burich Family/Citizens Bank.

Subject: RE: City of Hutchinson - Flair Fountain Repair
Hi Donovan,
Thanks for your time on the phone!
We discussed the repair of your existing (Flair) fountain. We determined it needs a new pump & motor, cable
quick disconnect (w/ 2x splices), and re -pot the junction box for the existing light kit. With the parts, shipping
and labor, we estimate the total repair cost will land around $24k-$25k. The new pump & motor will come with
a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
One consideration before spending — $25k to repair the existing fountain is the age and condition. As you know,
Flair is out of business and a lot of their stuff was custom fabricated, so fixing their equipment and certain parts
availability is becoming more limited. As an example, the top steel "float" on the fountain is filled with foam
for buoyancy and then spot welded together when they fabricate it. Over the years we have seen these "floats"
become a failure point. The float will eventually start to leak which leads to the foam becoming saturated and
eventually the fountain loses buoyancy. If this happens, it typically spells the end of life for the fountain as the
float is a custom fabricated piece Flair. Compared to the fountains below, if this were to happen, we can buy the
replacement float from the manufacturer, swap it out and the fountain is good/floats again. The existing lights
are also obviously older and high -wattage bulbs which are expensive when the bulbs burn out, and they're not
very efficient when compared to the LED light kits manufactured today. As fixtures get older the potting &
seals get more brittle, and eventually the lights start leaking, which leads to repairs.
The alternative option we discussed is replacing the existing fountain with new. The existing fountain has a
40hp/460v/3ph motor (30hp pump end). We are a distributor and Authorized Service Center/Provider
(ASC/ASP) for the major fountain manufacturers. Below are a couple links to manufacturer websites for
review & consideration for replacing your existing fountain. The cost for a new fountain will vary depending
on a variety of factors, including; horsepower size, spray pattern/display selection, cable lengths, type &
quantity of lights (both manufacturers now offer RGBW color changing lights in addition to standard white
light options), as well as other ancillary options that you could add to the fountain such as sub -monitors for 3-
phase motor protection and wind controls (incorporates a VFD so the fountain will lower the spray pattern in
windy conditions), etc. Both manufacturers build these fountains on a platform on wheels, which also makes
them a lot easier to move around compared to the existing Flair fountain.
The two potential manufacturer's I would recommend if you do consider replacement are Aqua Control or
Otterbine. Both are industry leaders and build high -quality fountains. Here are links to each Manufacturer's
website:
littps:Haguacontrol.com/titan-series-2/
littl)s://www.otterbine.coi-n/giant-fountains/
Some additional details & thoughts for consideration:
1) Either of these fountains comes with a 4-year manufacturer warranty and can in some cases be extended
to 5 years with the purchase of certain motor protection equipment.
2) Aqua Control does manufacture fountains up to 40hp in size. Otterbine manufactures up to 25hp. The
HP size you want/need may be influenced by which spray pattern/display option you select. Certain
patterns spray higher and/or wider than others.
3) In my opinion, Aqua Control produces nicer/more elegant displays and they have many options
compared to Otterbine. Otterbine makes nice patterns, they're just not as defined compared to an Aqua
Control.
4) When compared head -to -head, Otterbine is typically a little less expensive than an Aqua Control.
5) The Otterbine requires minimum 48" water depth for operation, the Aqua Control requires minimum of
58".
6) A 25hp Otterbine will move 400gpm, whereas a 40hp Aqua Control will move 600-1200gpm,
depending on spray pattern selection.
7) A new Otterbine or Aqua Control fountain with light kit would likely be in the $50k-$60k + range,
depending on HP size, spray pattern, light type, cable lengths, and the ancillary components mentioned
above. If you want to review the links above, I'm -happy to get you quote(s) on a new fountain option(s)
as well!
Please let me know what questions you have after your review or let me know how we can further help! We're
also happy to meet & review in person, if that's more convenient for you.

all NIBRS statistics to the FBI. Local, state and federal agencies generate NIBRS data from their records
management systems. In Group A Offenses there are 24 crime categories with 52 offenses. Data is collected
on every incident and arrest in this group. In Group B Offenses, there are 11 offenses with only the arrest

2024 HUTCHINSON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
Patrol
The patrol division of the Hutchinson Police Department is the face of the department. Many community
members only ever have contact with a patrol officer, making their impact crucial to the integrity of the
department.
Our patrol officers interact with community members when they respond to calls for service, take reports on
incidents that have occurred, patrol neighborhoods, enforce traffic laws, and engage at community events.
Our patrol officers also conduct criminal investigations by interviewing victims and suspects, reviewing video
surveillance, and collecting evidence.
Our patrol officers are very well trained in many areas, including DWI detection and enforcement, mental
health crisis, first aid and CPR. They also work closely with businesses on shoplifting and fraud incidents.
The department has twelve full-time officers and two part-time officers assigned to the patrol division. This
area is led by four patrol sergeants.
During the 2024 year, officers arrested 34 people for DUI's. This
was 2 more than the previous year. These DUI's are not all alcohol
related, some are the result of drugs. The Hutchinson Police
Department forfeited 5 motor vehicles. The 5 vehicles forfeited
were from DWI/controlled substances related crimes and fleeing
offenses.

2024 HUTCHINSON POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT
Training
Each year the staff of the Hutchinson Police Department participate in various trainings. These trainings allow for
staff to stay updated on all current policies, information, and technology within law enforcement. The Minnesota
Board of Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) requires officers to complete forty-eight hours of
continuing education every three years in order to renew their POST license.
Emergency Vehicle Operations and Police Pursuits (EVOC)
Officers shall demonstrate the knowledge and skill needed to reduce criminal and civil liability when involved in
emergency and non -emergency vehicle operations mode. This training must be designed to give officers both skill and
decision -making ability so that emergency vehicle operations can be resolved safely and successfully. This will be
accomplished with a minimum of eight hours of training, which will include a minimum of four hours of in -vehicle
operation. Simulators may be used in addition to in -vehicle and classroom training but will not be used to replace the
minimum four hours of in -vehicle training. It is recommended that simulator training be used for decision making
training.
Field Training
The field training process is a i6-week, 64o-hour requirement for all new Hutchinson Police Department officer hires.
New officers must show progression in job performance and complete all four phases to pass the field training process
and become an independent officer.
Patrol Online (PATROL)
To help cities reduce losses related to police liability, LMCIT has developed PATROL —Peace Officer Accredited Training
Online. While PATROL delivers twelve new POST -accredited courses per year, subscribers can earn more than forty
POST credits per year when they also take PATROL training on POST mandates for Use of Force and Crisis
Intervention and Mental Illness Crisis; Conflict Management and Mediation; Implicit Bias, and Community
Diversity and Cultural Differences. PATROL helps officers stay current on Minnesota legal issues and is based on
Minnesota case law. Content is developed with input from police liability experts, insurance defense attorneys, and
local law enforcement agencies. Each month, a new course is available for one POST credit.

igations
The Hutchinson Police Department Investigations units is comprised of five licensed officers and one
Evidence Technician. This unit is supervised by a Sergeant. The four officer positions within the
investigation's unit are the School Resource Officer, Drug Task Force Officer, Juvenile/Child Protection
Officer, and General Investigator. All of these positions are rotating assignments which allows all officers to
gain valuable investigative experience.
� %A0d0q&jQ
I"
The Investigations unit offers valuable support to the patrol
officers by following up on investigations that require more time
than the patrol officers can give to an incident. The
investigations unit is able to spend more time gathering
information from witnesses, suspects, and the courts to help
solve the crime.
The General Investigator position assists the patrol staff with
more complex investigations. The General Investigator also
works with social services and specializes in working with vulnerable adult cases.
The Evidence Technician position maintains the
collection of all the evidence and property entered 1EVIDT"IN(
into the evidence/property room by the officers. This}
position also sends evidence to the MN BCA for lab
testing for DUI's, drugs, and fingerprinting. The Evidence Technician also properly stores and preserves all
evidence forfuture investigations and past investigations.

Citizens Police Academy
The original concept of the Citizen Police Academy (CPA) came from Great Britain, where the United
Kingdom (UK) Constabulary designed a program to give citizens an overview of British law enforcement
operations. Known as "police night school" when it began in 1977, the program was an immediate success.
The Hutchinson Citizen Police Academy (CPA) is a community oriented policing program that is conducted
once a year in order to accomplish three goals:
• To allow citizens of Hutchinson to meet the men and women who serve them.
• To educate in the "how's and why's" of law enforcement.
• To provide Hutchinson Police Officers the opportunity to meet and hear from the citizens they serve.
The Hutchinson Citizen's Police Academy is ten weeks long and ran from November 2023 to January 2024. CPA
Participants are given a realistic view of the Hutchinson Police Department. A wide variety of topics are
discussed: department history, organizational structure, police officer selection and training,
communications/records, tools and equipment, officer survival, patrol procedures, DUI and traffic
enforcement, use of force or deadly force, arrest procedures, handling of traffic accidents and criminal
investigations, gangs, pursuit driving, chaplain program, crime prevention, critical incidents, youth issues and
liaisons, reserves/volunteer services, and a myriad of other law enforcement subjects. In addition,
opportunities to tour the police department and ride along with a police officer are provided to CPA students.
Our last academy was in 2021 and had six community members attend.

To the Community We Serve
In June of this year we celebrated our 1401" year serving this community. We can't help but reflect on
how our organization has changed, grown and prospered during this time. From church bells sounding,
alerting Firefighters carrying leather buckets of a fire in the community to the many, modern high-tech
pieces of equipment we now utilize to perform our jobs at the highest level. It's truly amazing when you
look back on the fire service as a whole.
Our staffing level remained steady so we did not conduct a hiring in 2024 but, we are planning to recruit
and hire in mid-2025. We continue to promote all of our Firefighters to learn something, teach others
and seek out external training opportunities to better themselves and the department.
Our Firefighters see the highest of highs and the lowest of lows on a routine basis and we try to balance
that with a strong focus on the health and well-being of our entire Firefighter family.
We truly appreciate the support we receive from the Townships and Cities that we serve! We are very
blessed to have a dedicated group of Firefighters that are ready and willing to perform at the highest
level, whenever they are called to duty.
