11. DISCUSSION ON AMENDING CHAPTER 93 OF THE HUTCHINSON CITY CODE
PERTAINING TO CHICKENS
Matt Jaunich, City Administrator, spoke before members in attendance at the meeting clarifying that
this item will be a discussion of the Council only. This item has not been scheduled as a public
hearing at this time, although maybe at a future date. But again, the discussion will only be amongst
Council Members this evening.
Mr. Jaunich noted that Council Members had requested to have on the agenda a discussion on the
City's regulations of chickens within the city. This topic has come up several times in the past with
previous Councils electing to continue with the prohibition of chickens. To assist the Council in its
discussion, Mr. Jaunich had provided a copy of the last ordinance that was considered by the City
Council in 2019 and some information that was shared with the Council back when the previous
ordinance was considered. The information is a little dated, but should still be relevant for the
discussion at this meeting. Again, Mr. Jaunich noted that this is for discussion only at this time and
nothing is being considered for an action item.
Mayor Forcier noted last time this was discussed he was somewhat in favor of allowing chickens if
chicken owners were required to obtain education on raising chickens. Council Member Burley
noted he has done research with organizations that can provide proper education to potential chicken
owners. Council Member Burley noted that he is in favor of allowing chickens to be raised within
the city. He would like education as part of a permitting process. He noted that accountability is
very important to him and wants to hold citizens accountable.
Council Member Sebesta noted that residents he has spoken to are not necessarily in favor of
allowing chickens, but he is in favor of allowing them. He noted that other cities that have been
polled have not had any major issues with allowing chickens to be raised in their cities.
Council Member May acknowledged the number of attendees at the Council meeting tonight.
Council Member May noted he is not in favor of allowing chickens and residents that have reached
out to him are not in favor either. He did acknowledge that it doesn't appear that allowing chickens
in other cities have had major issues.
Council Member Czmowski noted he is in favor with moving forward with the ordinance that was
proposed in 2019 other than he thinks five chickens should be allowed. He expressed that this has
been discussed several times and feels that the harboring of chickens should proceed.
Mayor Forcier expressed that he feels an ordinance should be drafted for the Council to consider
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — March 25, 2025
Mr. Jaunich asked for more direction from the Council. Should the ordinance from 2019 be
reconsidered? Should a workshop be held? Should a public hearing be held? Are there specific
items that should be added to the 2019 ordinance or removed?
Mayor Forcier expressed that he feels a public hearing would not be required. He asked that an
educational requirement be included in the draft ordinance that the Council considers.
Staff will plan on having a draft ordinance before the Council at the next Council meeting.
The Council determined they would allow members of the public to speak before them tonight on
this subject.
Michael Massmann, 525 Larson Street, presented before the Council. Mr. Massmann spoke of the
benefits of harboring chickens and doesn't necessarily feel that the current interest isn't just a fad
due to the high egg prices currently as has been expressed. Mr. Massmann did note that he has a
petition containing 505 signatures of residents in favor of harboring chickens.
Paisley VonBerge, 17546 Zane Avenue, presented before the Council. Ms. VonBerge noted that she
is with the FFA organization. Ms. VonBerge spoke of the benefits of harboring chickens.
Tyriina Kalenberg, 710 Shady Ridge Road, presented before the Council. Ms. Kalenberg expressed
that she feels the large number of people in attendance at the Council meeting shows the support for
allowing chickens within the community. She also supports harboring of chickens within the city.
Jim Bobier, 29206 Skyview Avenue, presented before the Council. Mr. Bobier noted he has been
raising chickens for years with his daughters and he expressed the benefits of harboring chickens.
Joy Schmitz, 1155 Westshore Drive, presented before the Council. Ms. Schmitz noted that she is in
favor of harboring chickens and benefits of them.
Tony Stark, 502 Monroe Street, presented before the Council. Mr. Stark noted he is in favor of
harboring chickens and benefits of them.
Ann Lamecker, 7 h Avenue NW, presented before the Council. Ms. Lamecker asked the Council
their preferred method of receiving information from constituents. It was noted emails are preferred,
attendance at Council meetings are good, phone calls, or talking with them in person.

Dan Jochum, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Jochum

applicant has applied to rezone the property to R-3 PD from R-3. The existing development to the
east and northeast is zoned R-3 PD and the area directly to the north across the street is R-3 and the
area to the west is R-4. The property to the south and southeast is zoned Industrial/Commercial.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA, TO REZONE PROPERTY AT 135 AND 145 1ST
AVENUE NW AND 125, 135, 145 GLEN STREET NW
Dan Jochum, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Jochum
explained that the City of Hutchinson has applied for a rezoning for the former R-2 zoned lots that
were bought by the City for redevelopment purposes in this area. The west side of the existing alley
is proposed to be rezoned to be consistent with the east side of the alley, which is C-3 Downtown
Commercial which would accommodate the construction of an apartment building with a first level
office and enclosed parking as well as a stormwater pond. There were no comments received during
the public hearing held with the Planning Commission.
Motion by Sebesta, second by Burley, to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 25-853. Motion
carried unanimously.
14. APPROVE/DENY RESOLUTION NO. 15852 — RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF
FACT AND REASONS FOR APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR ELK RIDGE
ESTATES
Dan Jochum, Planning/Zoning/Building Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Jochum
explained that Elk Ridge Estates is a 51-lot preliminary plat consisting of 29 single-family homes
and 22 twin homes. Mr. Jochum noted that there was a lot of discussion regarding this item at the
Planning Commission meeting. The vast majority of the discussion centered around sidewalks.
Staff requested sidewalks be included in the development, however after extensive discussion at the
Planning Commission meeting and further review of the City subdivision ordinance during the
meeting, sidewalks are not required for this development because the lots are on average greater than
60' wide and the development is not located on a collector or arterial street. The Planning
Commission suggested that there be a discussion in the future regarding how sidewalks are
regulated, including a discussion on the various City policy documents such as Complete Streets
policy, Growth Plan and Safe Routes to school. Currently, City policy documents indicate
sidewalks should be part of developments but City Code only requires sidewalks in certain
situations. The Planning Commission voted 3-1 to recommend approval of the preliminary plat
without sidewalks and requiring the street to be 37-feet wide. Staff is comfortable with this
recommendation based on the information presented and would recommend approval of the plat.
Motion by May, second by Sebesta, to approve Resolution No. 15852. Motion carried unanimously.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
As part of the City's renewal of its general liability insurance policy for the period July 1, 2025
through June 30, 2026, the City must decide whether or not to waive the statutory municipal tort
liability limits of $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. Historically the City has
not waived the municipal tort, because by doing so, the City exposes itself to potential claims
and payments above the statutory limit. The City would need to purchase excess liability
coverage if it decides to waive the statutory liability limit.
This is an annual city council decision that the League of MN Cities Insurance Trust requires.
This decision also applies to the separate liability policy for the HATS Facility.
Staff recommendation is to not waive the tort liability limits.
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
The Council is requested to not waive the tort liability limits for the policy period of July 2025 through June
2026.

LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM
Members who obtain liability coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
(LMCIT) must complete and return this form to LMCIT before their effective date of coverage.
Email completed form to your city's underwriter, to pstech("mc.org, or fax to 651.281.1298.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort liability limits to
the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made
annually by the member's governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary. The decision has the
following effects:
• If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more than $500,000 on
any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to
which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply
regardless of whether the member purchases the optional LMCIT excess liability coverage.
• If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could
recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap liability limits are only waived
to the extent of the member's liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total
all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to
$2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could
potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants could recover for a
single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased,
regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Parks and Natural Resources
Staff Responsible: Sara Witte, Parks Manager
As in previous years, the Hutchinson Parks Department
supported many events throughout our community in
2024. One of the larger events was the traveling "Wall
That Heals," a 1/4 replica of the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington, D.C. This mobile education
center and traveling exhibit honors Vietnam veterans. It
required extensive coordination among multiple
organizations, volunteers, and the City of Hutchinson
staff to host a successful event that attracted many
visitors to the community.
Collaboration among different departments within the City of Hutchinson proved essential, as
larger -scale projects often require skill sets and equipment that may not be available within the
Parks Department alone. The willingness of other departments to assist when requested reflects
the strong management and teamwork of the entire organization. Special thanks go to the
Public Works Department for their help with the VMF Lighting and Grandstand renovation
project, as well as ongoing forestry operations. We also appreciate the City of Hutchinson
Facilities Manager for coordinating project improvements at historic facilities and VMF
enhancements, and the Engineering Department for improvements related to street projects.
Park staff participated in various training programs to enhance their knowledge of new methods
and to demo new machinery at on -site expos. These shows introduced staff to different pieces
of equipment that could help improve daily operations. Staff attended the Northern Green
Expo, Gopher State One Call, the MN Shade Tree Short Course, the MPCA Turf Class, Greater MN
Parks and Trails, the Fall Northern Green Expo, and the MRPA Annual Conference. They also had
opportunities to engage in training and webinars on topics such as Safe Routes to School,
BikeMN, the MRPA Northern group, the MRPA Park Maintenance networking group, and Prairie
maintenance forums focusing on restoration and plant selection, all of which contribute to the
overall growth of the team.
In 2024, the Masonic West River campground saw continued growth in reservations, while the
number of shelter bookings experienced a slight decline. We will continue to monitor trends in
the coming years to determine how best to allocate resources for upgrades and potential
expansions.
The Parks Department is grateful for the strong relationships
we have established over the years with various groups,
organizations, and individuals who support the park system
and recognize the value of clean parks, amenities, trails, and
waterways within our community. We are fortunate to have
ongoing partners who contribute not only through donations
but also by dedicating their time and effort to help complete
projects or park improvements. Additionally, collaborating
with local students as part of their curriculum for maintenance
and improvements on school property or in other community
areas is a wonderful bonus.

Burich Arena
Staff Responsible: Randy Carter, PRCE Facilities Maintenance Manager
In 2024, the city focused on finalizing the
construction and remodeling of outdoor
facilities. The staff rejuvenated the landscaping
around the Burich Arena sign to make
maintenance easier. They are currently
consulting with the Burich Family Foundation to
replace the existing electronic sign with an
updated LED version and to install new
entrance signs. The new HVAC equipment has
been operating efficiently, maintaining the
building at a consistent temperature of around
55 degrees.
In June, Patrick Benson stepped down from his position to further his career, creating a vacancy
that was filled by Tyler Ortloff in October.
The staff has been collaborating with the HHS Boys and Girls Hockey Coaches to remodel both
varsity locker rooms. This project received a donation of $10,000 for each locker room from HHA
and additional contributions of approximately $12,000 from various community businesses and
user groups, resulting in a total renovation budget of around $32,000.
The facilities plan for both Burich Arenas aims to develop a Facility Management Plan that
includes a higher level of scheduled maintenance, a cleaner and more desirable environment
for activities, and improved safety for all spectators, players, and employees. The staff will assess
all aspects of the buildings to optimize space usage, enhance safety for users, and plan routine
maintenance while seeking to attract more user groups. Additionally, they are working with
existing user groups to upgrade the sound systems in both the East and West Arenas.
In late November, the ice arena's refrigeration system experienced multiple equipment failures,
prompting an upgrade of the outdated alarm system. This will involve overhauling two
compressors, replacing a glycol pump, and replacing one 50 hp electrical motor. Other
necessary repairs include overhauling one compressor, replacing the oil separator filter,
conducting glycol analysis, and making electrical repairs.

Hutchinson Recreation Center Overview:
The recreation center continues to promote healthy lifestyles and community engagement
through various programs and community partnerships:
Programs Offered:
• Open Pickleball
• Walking
• Indoor Playground
• Open Soccer
• Open Gym
• Adult Leagues
• Youth Programming
Private Rentals & Community Groups:
• Birthday parties, tournaments, and special events
• Middle school sports and youth athletic associations
Pickleball remains one of the most popular programs, with 2,432 participants recorded in the
2024 season. A new season pass has been introduced to reduce costs; making pickleball more
accessible to the community. Recent equipment investment; including high -end nets for Park
Elementary, a paddle rotation cart, balls, and a ball cart; have further improved the player
experience, reflecting a strong commitment to quality and engagement.
The indoor playground program saw significant improvements, thanks to a grant from the
Hutchinson Health Foundation. This funding allowed for the purchase of new play equipment
designed to enhance the overall experience for children and families. Among the additions
were `Big Blue Blocks,' which encourage social interaction, develop soft skills, and promote gross
motor skill development. Additionally, commercial -grade riding toys were acquired to replace
broken and outdated equipment, ensuring a safe and engaging play environment.
In addition to its internal programs, the Rec Center Gymnasium actively supports the community
by hosting various groups, including middle school sports teams and youth athletic associations
such as JO Volleyball. During the school year, the facility serves as home to several middle
school sports —girls' volleyball, girls' basketball, boys' basketball, and softball —hosting daily
practices and numerous games. Youth associations also make extensive use of the gymnasium,
scheduling practices and tournaments throughout the year.

Recreational Programming
Staff Responsible: Casey Hagert, Recreation Manager
PRCE offers a variety of programs for all age groups while also working with and supporting
community organizations to meet the needs of the community.
Youth Programs
PRCE is a primary provider of programming for
elementary -aged children, promoting physical activity
and exploration in a low -stress, low -commitment, and
cost -friendly atmosphere. Many of the PRCE programs
have been a part of the community for years, including
basketball, flag and tackle football, soccer, baseball,
and more.
In 2024, PRCE focused on minor adjustments based on
feedback and observations rather than drastic
changes to improve program opportunities and
participant experience. One adjustment included
modifying the length and time for certain programs.
• T-ball: The program length was slightly reduced to better align with participants' attention
spans, aiming to maintain engagement and ensure a positive experience.
Flag Football: Multiple age groups were previously scheduled in 1.5-hour blocks with a 30-
minute overlap between groups, causing congestion and parking issues. Adjustments
reduced congestion and improved safety while aligning program length with age -group
attention spans.
In addition to youth league style programming, PRCE oversees lesson -based opportunities such
as tennis and skate lessons and manages the youth fastpitch program, coordinating teams from
8U through high school.

Sponsorships
A key component of youth programming is the PRCE sponsorship program, which underwent a
major overhaul in 2024. Previously, sponsorships were assumed, and sponsors were invoiced at
year-end. In 2024, sponsors were required to opt in and specify their sponsorship commitments.
• Outcome: A decline in overall teams sponsored from 122 in 2023 to 95 in 2024. However,
the new process improved PRCE's accountability and strengthened community
partnerships.
Tournaments
Local organizations utilize PRCE facilities to host tournaments such as baseball, basketball and
volleyball. PRCE not only hosts tournaments but also plans and runs multiple inhouse and league
tournaments.
• 44th Annual Hutchinson Fastpitch Tournament IOU & 12U - June 15
• 44th Annual Hutchinson Fastpitch Tournament 14U & High School - June 22
• Crow River Baseball League Tournament 12A - July 12-14
• Crow River Softball League Tournament 12U - July 27
Early -season weather impacted June tournaments, causing one to be canceled midway and
another to be fully canceled.

PRCE plays a vital role in supporting community organizations by assisting with registrations, co -
managing programs, as well as providing, maintaining and scheduling fields and facilities.
Facility & Field Scheduling
Scheduling fields and facilities is a key PRCE responsibility. Due to high demand and accessibility,
field scheduling is complex and time -intensive.
• PRCE establishes which fields are best suited for different activities and age groups.
• Internal programs are scheduled first, followed by coordination with user groups such as
VFW Baseball, Hutchinson Junior League Baseball, and Crow River Athletics.
• Baseball and softball games are scheduled through Crow River Athletics, and individual
coaches schedule practices through PRCE.
• The master field schedule is updated accordingly, aiding the Parks Department in
maintenance and setup.
Efficient scheduling reduces conflicts, enhances user experience, and ensures effective
maintenance.

Hutchinson Event Center/ Hutchinson Senior Center
Staff Responsible: Jennifer Behrendt, Senior Center/ Event Center Programmer
The Hutchinson Event Center continues to operate in a
modified fashion, meaning all rentals are to be held
Monday -Friday between the hours of 9:00 am- 3:00 pm.
Throughout 2024, there were 155 requests to use the
rental space. The Event Center was a host location for
56 events this past year, including 35 business events, 18
city events, and 3 private rentals, all of which were
funerals. Even with a limited number of rentals, the
Event Center had roughly 10,420 people through the
doors. River of Hope continues to lease space from the
City of Hutchinson for its worship services. Church meets
at the Event Center every Sunday and many times
throughout the week for various activities such as
confirmation, bible studies, meetings, etc.
The Senior Center remains a welcoming gathering place for area seniors. The center did see an
increase in attendance in 2024; around 13,498 seniors were through the door compared to
12,531 in 2023.
L
The Knot Just Knitters group hosts a knitting project every year to
give back to the community. Over 100 handmade/knitted
scarves and hats were donated. All items were then distributed to
the McLeod County Food Shelf to give to those in need.
Sr. Programmer, along with 2 fellow seniors, held 5 decorative
plate -making classes, a tart tin class, beginner tree macram6,
and a "make and take" tree project. Combined, 33 individuals
attended these activities. These classes brought in new seniors
who do not frequent the Center otherwise.
Several speakers from different locations were brought in to present on many educational
topics. Presentations included mental health, fraud, hospice care, health care directives, finding
balance, A.I., technology basics, and more. The A.I. and technology classes hade large
attendance. Classes were very informative, and seniors seemed to enjoy them when these
resources were available to them. Roughly 90 patrons attended these classes combined.
The center offered three new activities in 2024: crafts & coloring, cribbage, and an embroidery
group. Crafts & Coloring had a slow start and eventually phased itself out, while cribbage and
the embroidery group remain strong and well attended. The River walking/Lazy River, held at the
Aquatic Center, was advertised in our monthly Senior Newsletter; 15 seniors took advantage. The
center handed out a one -day free pool pass for fitness
time during the months the pool was open. Ping pong
has a solid group that shows up 1-3 times a week. This is
a unique group as it is not only seniors who participate.
It is one of the few intergenerational activities. 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; 1 10 attended
throughout the summer gatherings.
23
The Senior Center Programmer and tour coordinator volunteer were unable to attend any tour
expos due to scheduling conflicts in 2024. The expos are held two times a year and are very
resourceful in finding new ideas for our tour program. Our tour program is well -received and
most tours sell out at a max of 45 participants. The tour program generated $2,529.60 for 2024.
This was due in part to the tour coordinator underestimating
the number of patrons signing up.
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 2024, they brought in $778.80 (1,215 cards).
The Center held its 4th Annual Book & Puzzle Sale on August
26 & 27. This is a fundraiser that was started 4 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 2024, the Book & Puzzle sale brought in $1,487.00
for the Senior Center.

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.
Sharon Armstrong retired on May 30, 2024 after 36 years of service. Amy Scheele accepted the
position in July 2024. Amy was working in the accounting department in the District Office. Amy
split her work time between the business office and Community Ed until November to allow for
hiring and training her replacement. Sharon was hired on temporarily to train Amy in the
Community Education and Facilities Rentals position.
Participation in activities is steady and strong! People are registering upon receiving the new
brochures but we still see some register 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. Online activities continue to grow in popularity and
26
instructors can host multiple schools with combined registrations. In -person activities are still a
favorite for providing wonderful, hands-on opportunities. Monthly newsletters are emailed to all
families in the school district through Campus Messenger, posted on several Facebook sites,
posted on the ISD423.org/Community Ed page, and on the bulletin board in the rec center.
We are searching for new CE instructors through Facebook posts, Tiger Tidbits newsletter sent out
to school employees, and Wanted posters.
Several pairs of snow shoes were purchased for rentals and a snow shoe class. Still hoping for
snow to use them.
Community Education is required to submit an annual report to the Minnesota Department of
Education (MDE) from school districts having a community education levy. Report period is July 1
to June 30. This report is available to view at the Community Education office.
PRCE continued using CivicRec for registrations. The program is fairly user friendly. We worked
on creating more top-level categories for the activities to clean up the system. There are a lot of
random activities that make finding items more difficult as more are created. This is a work in
process.

School Facility Rentals and Usage
�'� SC OOLSON PUBLIC
Community Education coordinates rentals and facility use for Hutchinson Public Schools. This
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 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
rSchooffoday 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.

Upcoming Facility Happenings
Submitted by Justin TenEyck
In 2024, the District, in collaboration with the Parks crew, completed
J1VWrC WA&M.-
several significant upgrades to local facilities. New batting cages
were installed between the softball fields, improving athletes'
amenities. Additionally, sprinklers were installed on the main
practice soccer field as part of the joint three-year maintenance
plan between the school district and PRCE.
At Hutchinson Middle School, a new sound system was installed in the gym, along with a
projector and screen to enhance functionality for events and activities. The failing dividing wall
was also replaced with a roll -up curtain divider for improved flexibility and usability.
Looking ahead, the District is currently seeking estimates for an outdoor sprinkler system, focusing
on the soccer and football fields. As part of the ongoing three-year maintenance plan, the
District and PRCE are in the second year of addressing costs, budgets, and routine maintenance
for all district fields, ensuring long-term sustainability and optimal performance.

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.
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 2023-2024
For the 2023-2024 state academic year (May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024), 214 students attended for
a total of 4,355.25 contact hours. Students who attend 12 or more hours are considered
participants. Hutchinson Adult Education had 87 participants for the year. The average student
attended for 20.25 hours.
Working with our Regional Transitions Coordinator, we have designed and delivered online
career pathway courses with other Adult Education programs in Southwest Minnesota. We have
received Transitions grant funding to offer courses in Paraprofessional Training, Child
Development, Professional Leadership, and Google Computer Skills. We also launched an online
GED Bootcamp course in the evenings. Statewide courses in Commercial Driver's License Prep,
TEAS Nursing Prep, and Microsoft Certifications were also available. These courses are offered at
no cost to adults throughout Minnesota. Hours for attendance in these courses are not counted
locally, but they are counted at the consortium level for Glacial Lakes ABE.
29
Locally, Glacial Lakes Adult
Education worked with CMJTS
and Weaving Cultures to offer a
Community Interpreter training
course and certification testing
for students in the spring of 2024.
Seventeen students completed
this course, and 100% passed
their testing for certification. We
plan to offer this course again in
2024-2025.
Regional Online English
Language classes are offered
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.
Students continue to take and pass GED tests. 27 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.
Our GED student, 81+ year old Sam Flom, gained even more statewide
attention last year by achieving his goal of earning his Adult Diploma.
Corin Hoggard from FOX 9 news came out to cover Sam's story and our
Graduation Celebration. Amy Klobuchar delivered our
commencement address via video. It was an extra special event for our
community.
ABE Staffing
Shari Brunes manages the Hutchinson Adult Education program. Ann Trochlil serves as the
Glacial Lakes Adult Education Consortium Program Manager. The Hutchinson teaching staff
currently includes Joyce Evenski, Mary Horrocks, Barb Haugen, Jean Abrahamson, Laura Cullip,

Early Childhood Family Education
Submitted by Mary Myers-Reinarts
Data for Jan uary-December 2024
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) offers a variety of class
options for families with young children. We run during the We
Hutchinson Public School District's academic school year, with a six- week summer session in Summer 2024. 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 EAR y CHILDHOOD
in our classes. NO family is ever turned away due to inability to pay. FAMILY EDUCATION
ECFE classes include separating and non -separating classes, parent -only classes, family events,
and special one-time classes. Offerings this year included parent -child classes that ran for 6 to 16
weeks per session, special one-time events, and an ongoing open playtime class. We did not
hold any parent -only classes but, with the aid of a grant through the Southwest Initiative
Foundation, were able to offer a multilingual class offering for families with children ages three
years through grade three. Summer classes were offered for Summer 2024, and all classes were
filled.
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 2024 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. Our
morning Busy Babies classes had consistent attendance, but late
afternoon baby class offerings were not well received. We have
learned that parents with new babies are most likely to register a week
or two before the class start date. Class registration is left 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 welcome new babies with a postcard offering a
free baby class and a baby bag that includes a "Future Tiger" t-shirt, a hardcover children's
board book, and assorted pamphlets/gifts from community agencies. 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.
k
32
Our ECFE sliding fee scale keeps all classes under $100 for
the full cost of the class. Families have continued to respond
favorably to this. We offer three payment tiers: full, half, and
free. Families continue to appreciate the ability to choose
their rate at the time of registration, even if choosing the $0
rate, and have been very responsive and respectful of this
process.
In January 2024 we held a very successful Jammin' in Your
Jammies dance/pizza party family event. Over 225 people
attended. In April of 2024, we held a successful Week of the
Young Child celebration. Topsy Turvy Tuesday was a big hit.
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 that they
would like more of these events in the future. We also held two specialty classes in September
and December of 2024, Fall Fun and Polar Pals, offering an AM and PM session of each. The AM
sessions for both classes did not run due to insufficient registration.
2024 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.

Building Department
Primary Services
Overview of Building Department - MN Rule
1300.0030 states that the purpose of the MN State
Building Code is to establish minimum
requirements to safeguard the public health, safety
and general welfare, through structural strength,
means or egress facilities, stability, sanitation,
adequate light and ventilation, energy
conservation, and safety to life and property from
fire and other hazards attributed to the built
environment and to provide safety to firefighters
and emergency responders during emergency
operations.
The code applies to the design, construction,
addition, alteration, moving, replacement,
demolition, repair, equipment, installation, use and
occupancy, location, maintenance, and inspection
of any building, structure, or building service
equipment in a municipality.
The code includes among other provisions: The
MN Building Code, the MN Residential Code, the
MN Conservation Code for Existing Buildings, the
MN Floodproofing Regulations, the MN
Accessibility Code, the Prefabricated Structures
Code, the Industrialized/Modular Buildings Code,
the MN Plumbing Code, the MN Commercial
Energy Code, and the MN Residential Energy Code.
The purpose and scope of the MN State Building
Code clearly convey the complexity and
significance of building code administration. The
practical administration of the code includes
education, communication, plan review,
correspondence, permit administration, field
inspection, and enforcement to ensure the purpose
of the code is accomplished throughout the
breadth of its scope.
Under the direction of the Planning Director and
the Building Official, protective inspections
provides the following services:
o Plan Review for residential, commercial
properties and State licensed facilities
o Clearinghouse for the issuance of building,
mechanical, plumbing, erosion control,
grading, and sign permits.
o Field Inspections
o Enforcement of building, plumbing, and
mechanical codes (i.e. new and existing
building construction for fire, life, health
and safety)
o Education of homeowners and contractors
on the building code, permits, and
processes.

Staff has researched recent trends of new residential construction in this region by surveying other
communities in the area with populations similar to Hutchinson in an effort to attempt to verify if
the level of new residential construction activity in Hutchinson is common to the surrounding
regions. The majority of similarly sized communities in this region indicate construction trends
similar to what Hutchinson has experienced in recent years. As may be expected, communities
that are metropolitan suburbs or regional hubs have experienced higher total volumes of
construction. However, the overall trend of construction activity in the surveyed region is very
similar between communities.

Rental License Program
The City adopted the rental program in 2008 and the Planning/Building/Zoning Department took it
over from the Fire Department in 2014. The rental inspection program data suggests that most
property owners/managers are planning and preparing for the inspections. Staff are happy to educate
new rental property owners and new managers who are not familiar with the expectations of the
rental program. Most experienced property owners are actively checking units ahead of time and
preparing them prior to the inspection. They are making repairs to improve the general condition of
the units and this greatly reduces the likelihood of major violations and subsequent enforcement
action. City inspectors are now being viewed as a resource to help the business operate successfully
and the tenants express the support they receive when there are problems or concern that go
uncorrected. It should be noted that the City's new software for inspections/licensing does not have
the ability to pull data like we did previously to present in the annual report format so we will be trying
to determine the best way to share data/trends we are seeing. At this point we can say that we
inspected about 325 rental units in 2024 and trends were very similar to years past and the primary
issues were dead batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as junk and clutter that
needed to be cleaned up.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
Based off of comments at our last council meeting, staff has begun working on a draft ordinance
to consider "backyard" chickens in town. Staff has used the 2019 ordinance as the starting point.
We have noted proposed changes from that ordinance in red or with a strike -through. I have also
included some comments for discussion purposes.
Staff would like to get feedback from the City Council on what you would like to see added or
subtracted from the ordinance. At the end of the day, this is something the Council needs to be
comfortable with. Staff has tried to incorporate changes to the 2019 ordinance based off of
feedback we have received from both the public and council members.
The current code is also included for reference purposes (that will have to be updated as well if
we decide to allow backyard chickens in town).
Please note that this is for discussion only at this time and nothing is being considered for an
action item. The goal of this discussion is to come up with a draft ordinance that could be
considered for a first reading at your next (or future) city council meeting.

Existing Zoning: R-3 Medium Density Residential
Property Location: 800, 810, 820 Texas Ave NW
Existing Land Use: Vacant - residential
Adjacent Land Use
And Zoning: Commercial and Residential
Comprehensive
Land Use Plan: Commercial
Zoning History: The original building was built in the 1960s. Property was
previously the shop and contractors yard for E&T
Contracting. CUP was issued for Car Sales in September
2023 and in October 2023 the lot was re -platted. Lot was
rezoned for R-3 residential in 2024.
Applicable
Regulations: Sections 154.173 of the City Code
Rezoning Consideration:
In considering a rezoning request, the Planning Commission should review the proposed
rezoning for consistency with the surrounding area, City Plans and the purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The area to the south of the subject property is zoned I/C, the areas to the northeast and east
are zoned R-3 PD and the area to the north is zoned R-3. The area to the west is zoned R-4
residential. The general character of this area is residential in nature. Staff understands the
applicant would like to construct a duplex on these lots. A duplex lot can be 66 feet wide in the
R-3 PD district where it needs to be 80 feet wide in an R-3 District. There are examples of R-3
PD Duplex lots that are 66-foot-wide on Hilltop Ave. NE.
Staff supports this request as there is a need for additional housing options within the
community and this would be a transition in density from the R-4 zoned townhomes to the
west and the single-family homes to the east.
Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends rezoning the property from R-3 to R-3 PD for the reasons noted above. Staff
recommends approval of the request with the following findings and recommendations:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the character of the surrounding area.
2. The property to the northeast and east is already zoned R-3 PD and this request is contiguous to R-3
PD Zoning.
3. The property to the west is zoned R-4.
4. The property is proposed to be developed into three duplex units.

Multi -family redevelopment
Single-family homes built in 1930s-1950s were bought be
City a few years ago and demolished for redevelopment.
Sections 154.173 of the City Code
In considering a rezoning request, the Planning Commission should review the proposed
rezoning for consistency with the surrounding area, City Plans and the purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The subject property has been part of the last two Downtown Master Plan's as a
redevelopment opportunity. The City acquired the properties from homeowners and
demolished and/or moved the existing homes for the purpose of assembling land for a multi-
family housing project. In order for a housing project to move forward the property needs to
be rezoned to C-3 Downtown Commercial which allows upper level apartment units.
Staff supports this request as there is a need for additional housing options within the
community and this request is consistent with the last two Downtown Plans the City Council
has adopted that show this area as a multi -family redevelopment opportunity.
Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends rezoning the properties from R-2 to C-3 for the reasons noted above. Staff
recommends approval of the request with the following findings and recommendations:
1. The rezoning is consistent with long-range plans the City has adopted (Downtown Plans).
2. The properties are adjacent to C-3 zoned property.
3. The property is proposed to be developed into a multi -family apartment project.

the aging housing stock

for homeowners to

vital. Adding diverse

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
On an annual basis, the City of Hutchinson administers street and capital improvement projects
that are financed by G.O. Improvement Bonds. The City's current business practice is to issue
bonds in the fall after the projects have been bid, awarded to contractors and the contract costs
are determined. The biggest benefit of this practice is that the City bonding amount is more
accurate than if we bonded earlier in the year based on engineering estimates. The downfall to
waiting later in the year to issues bonds is that the City must cash flow the project costs during
the summer and reimburse itself when the bond proceeds are received. This process has
worked well for the City and there are no current issues with continuing this practice in the future.
When we use bond proceeds to reimburse costs already paid, IRS regulations require the City
Council to approve a resolution declaring its intent to reimburse itself with the bond proceeds.
Please find attached, Resolution 15854 "Declaring the Official Intent of the City of Hutchinson to
Reimburse Certain Expenditures from the Proceeds of Bonds to be issued by the City". The
resolution itemizes the various projects expected to be financed by bonds this year, and sets the
maximum cost reimbursement at $2,800,000.

DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON
TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS
OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior
expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily
from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent
("Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUTCHINSON
AS FOLLOWS:
The City proposes to undertake the following improvement projects in 2025:
a. Dale Street SW (South Grade Rd SW to Roberts Rd SW)
b. 2025 Street Improvements

2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain costs of
the Project from the proceeds of bonds expected to be sold in September 2025 and settled in October
2025, in an estimated maximum principal amount of $2,800,000. All reimbursed expenditures will
be capital expenditures, costs of issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for
reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any original
expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the proceeds of bonds,
except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds; (b) costs in an amount not in
excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or (c) "preliminary expenditures" up to
an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance
or are reasonably expected by the City to finance the project for which the preliminary expenditures
were incurred. The term "preliminary expenditures" includes architectural, engineering, surveying,
bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction
or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident
to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City based
on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original
expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds described in paragraph 2 are
consistent with the City's budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other than
proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved,
allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City's budget or financial
policies to pay such Project expenditures.
This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.
