Mr. Jim Hagley of CED /Donohue & Associates, Inc. gave a brief intro- duction of the purpose of the program and highlighted the key points of Ordinance No. 20/85. He stated it was a requirement of the E.P.A. to regulate the discharge of industries. Therefore, the local industries, M.P.C.A., the City of Hutchinson and CED had worked together to reach an agreement on the proposed ordinance. Mayor Stearns stated the copper limit should be changed as soon as pos- sible. Discussion was given to the high level of copper in the City's water. There was no known solution to the matter in question. Mr. Wayne Fortun, President of Hutchinson Technology, commented on the low flow of the river and how it was affected by metals. There was an excess of four pounds of copper per day and two pounds per day from in- dustry. He remarked that by working with the two consultants, the dif- ferent industries and St. Paul 3M, the City, and M.P.C.A., they were able to reach where they are today. The limitations set by M.P.C.A. could limit H.T.I. to two shifts and no growth. The industry will have to watch the copper concentration and reduce it. Mr. Hagley recommended that at some point after the program begins, the City should determine a permit fee for industries, typically $500. Mr. Dick Desens, President of Ty's Metal, commented that the pretreat- ment program represented a lot of work by those involved. Everyone had done their best to put together an ordinance environmentally sound that was workable. It represented a cooperative effort by the City and in- dustries, which was what made Hutchinson the city it was by working to- gether. Mr. Jack Yates, Hutchinson Technology, commented on the copper limita- tion and how it could affect the City. He pointed out that if the cop- per limit was not raised, H.T.I. may be Beverly limited. It was moved by Alderman Mlinar, seconded by Alderman Torgerson, to close the hearing at 8:27 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. Alderman Mlinar moved to approve the pretreatment program and to waive first reading of Ordinance No. 20/85 and set second reading for Decem- ber 10, 1985. Motion seconded by Alderman Carls and unanimously car- ried. 2 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 26, 1985 6.

(n) CONSIDERATION OF PLAZA 15 SHOPPING CENTER EXPANSION PROPOSALS Director of Engineering Priebe reported on his recent meeting with MN /DOT regarding the proposed expansion of Super Valu to a Cub Foods Store at Plaza 15. It has been scheduled for MN /DOT to meet-With Super Valu and Kraus - Anderson representatives on November 27; therefore, additional information will be forthcoming. (o) REPORT BY CITY ENGINEER ON MN /DOT PROJECTS Engineer Priebe reported MN /DOT had requested a new letting date of June 279 1986 for the T.H. 7/22 West project. Therefore, the City should hold a hearing in the near future to assess properties bene- fited by the improvement and not previously assessed for street improve- ment. MN /DOT would like to utilize the service road along T.H. 7/22 for a by- pass during construction to eliminate detouring traffic to Litchfield. The by -pass would require construction of the service road west of School Road. 6 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 26, 1985 It was reported that MN /DOT would not have time to design a yellow • flashing light system at School Road as requested by the Council due to the proposed construction schedule and limited manpower. However, the City could take steps to have the design for the flashing light pre- pared by a professional engineer. All costs of the preparation of the plans and contract for installation would be paid by the City. There are proposed plans to design a left turn, through traffic and right turn lane designation for both north and south bound traffic at Washington Avenue and Second Avenue South. (p) CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF SPECIFICATIONS FOR RAILROAD CONNECTOR TRACK AND SPUR TRACK City Administrator Plotz suggested that inasmuch as the Director of Engineering did not have the expertise to prepare specifications for the railroad connector track and spur track, the Council consider Ber- nie Prusak of Gopher Engineering. Mr. Prusak had submitted an estimate of $35 per hour, plus travel and typing expenses, or an- estimated total cost of $2,200 to develop the specifications. This cost would come out of the tax increment financing fund. Mr. Plotz reported the City At- torney had received an opinion from the State Attorney General's office that the railroad project would have to be bid off specifications. Following discussion, Alderman Carl moved to approve the preparation of specifications by Bernie Prusak and to waive reading and adopt Reso- lution No. 8163. Motion seconded by Alderman Mlinar and unanimously carried. (q) CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH SURROUNDING TOWNSHIPS FOR JOINT ORDERLY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT After discussion, the motion was made by Alderman Torgerson, seconded by Alderman Mikulecky, to approve entering into negotiations. Motion carried unanimously. (r) CONSIDERATION OF ACCOUNT FOR STATE SURCHARGE REFUND City Administrator Plotz stated that he and the Finance Director were opposed to a separate fund since the City budget already provided for conferences and other items in the building department. Following discussion, Alderman Carls moved to reject the account. Mo- tion seconded by Alderman Torgerson and unanimously carried. 10. MISCELLANEOUS (a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Plotz reminded the City Council of the special meet- ing scheduled for December 5, 1985 in the fire station conference room. 7 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 26, 1985 The City Policy Procedures Handbook will be reviewed at that time. Also, discussion will be given to the annual wage adjustment and merit raise. Mr. Plotz stated he had two inquiries from Council members regarding the memorandum addressed to the City Engineer concerning his vacation plans for winter 1986. Engineer Priebe reported he had not been able to respond in writing due to meetings, but his vacation plans were to be gone December 22, 1985 to January 20, 1986, using both earned com- pensatory time and vacation time. Following his anniversary date, he would be taking four weeks of vacation in March. The City Council re- quested Engineer Priebe to present his request in writing for the next Council meeting. It was reported that Change Order No. 3 for the recreation facility, in the amount of $644.68, needed Council approval. The change order would provide additional insulation to reduce possible condensation on the interior wall and revise the location of exterior lights. Also, the contractor requested a 30 -day extension due to weather conditions and other delays. It was reported the Recreation Department planned to move into the new facilities in December and have activities in the building by December 20. Alderman Mlinar moved to authorize the Change Order No. 3. Motion seconded by Alderman Torgerson and unanimously carried. (b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN CARLS Alderman Carls commented on the recent article in The Hutchinson Lead- er regarding water meters. Discussion of the problem of accurate meter readings followed. An inquiry was made about the barking dog ordinance, but no answer was available. (c) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN JOHN MLINAR Alderman Mlinar reported that William Janousek was having a problem with people cutting across his property, and he wondered what could be done. Mr. Janousek had been told he could not put up a fence. City Administrator Plotz responded that he thought Mr. Janousek had been given some alternatives from the Building Official. (d) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN MARLIN TORGERSON Alderman Torgerson stated John Korngiebel had contacted him to report the heat exchanger in the fire station would be replaced. (e) COMMUNICATIONS FROM DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING Engineer Priebe requested Council approval of Resolution No. 8162 to T CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - NOVEMBER 26, 1985 disperse payment under two lettings and to correct the City records for work done in Kimberly Country Estates. Since a change order was more than 25 percent of the letting for the project, the City Attorney had determined this action necessary to meet the requirements of the law. Alderman Mlinar moved to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 8162. Motion seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and unanimously carried. The City Engineer presented an update on the railroad work and reported the contractor was working in the low area of the elevator where the trackage will be laid. Excess water was being pumped out. A meeting was held with Ralph Neumann, Dick Nagy, and Skip Quade re- garding the meter problem at the wildlife sanctuary. The City had been given an inaccurate, low estimate of water usage. The potential water use would be approximately $21,000 a year. Other possible sources for water would be a deep well or a horizontal well. The use of river water had been ruled out. An update report will be presented at the next Council meeting. 11. CLAIMS, APPROPRIATIONS AND CONTRACT PAYMENTS (a) VERIFIED CLAIMS The motion was made by Alderman Carls, seconded by Alderman Mlinar, to approve the claims and authorize payment from the appropriate funds. • Motion unanimously carried. 12. ADJOURNMENT r There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:38 P.M. U • MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1985 Mayor Stearns called the special joint meeting of City Council and Police Sta- tion Building Committee to order at 5:00 P.M. in the fire station conference room. Present were: Mayor Robert H. Stearns, Alderman Mike Carls, Alderman John M 1 i nar, A l derman Pat M i ku 1 ecky, A l derman Mar t i n Torgerson, Mayor -E 1 ect Pau 1 Ack- land, City Administrator Gary D. Plotz, Finance Director Kenneth B. Merrill, City Attorney James Schaefer, Police Chief Dean O'Borksy, Officer Chuck Jones, Sgt. John Gregor, Chairman Chad Piehl, Dick Burgart, Pat Durfee, Norm Tulman, Phyllis Hegrenes, and Secretary Nancy Buss.- City Attorney Jim Schaefer gave a presentation regarding advisory elections. He recommended that such a referendum was inappropriate for our city since it is non - binding. There is no statutory requirement to do so, and it is not required by the City Charter. Attorney Schaefer also advised that the private financing is legal and the letters of reference are included in the City Council packet. Chairman Chad Piehl presented the building committee's recommendation and pro- posal regarding financing. The committee members unanimously felt that private financing should be used to build the police facility. They felt that a bond issue would fail. There was a question and answer period regarding both private and public fi- nancing. Alderman Mike Carls felt that if the police station was financed pri- vately, he was not sure but that the city would have to cut personnel to make the annual payment. Finance Director Merrill and Administrator Plotz said that phasing in the annual payment is acceptable, with the understanding that it will restrain the budget in future years. Mayor Stearns and Alderman Torgerson indicated they were in favor of private fi- nancing, Aldermen Carls and Mlinar were undecided, and Alderman Mikulecky was against it. Aldermen Mlinar and Carls requested a public hearing. After agree- ing to a December 10 public hearing date, the meeting was closed at 8:15 P.M. h Ll of 26 Permits - $3,374,948.00 Total Valuation PLEASE CONTINUE ON REVMW stn[ —sm. 1 1 i 1 �1 i I i I j 1 i s i I i si' Bean pe is It a I Nor 5 PLEASE MAIL ON OR BEFORE THE 4TH DAY OF THE MONTH ":a vawTratr S eowrawca uwawu or r►he eawwe (PNase -moor any errors in now or aaaess REPORT OF BUILDING OR ZONING PERMITS ISSUED AND LOCAL PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION *0103500 41 9 9909 065 8 11 26 0 2730 CENSUS use ONLY - NONER PITTNAN BLDG OFF CITY NALL 37 WASHINGTON AVE WEST NYTCNINSON NN 55350 Has e 8eogroplde revere" a prwit ti shelved this porled? ® No [3 Yes - Eap4oin in casements If me permits were Issued during this MAIL THINeffersonville, vrear of the Censys lease red thelnstructions before Ceried, enter (X) is box end raters i0"m ❑ COPY TO .A132 f(301) For help, Ind. all collect Section 1 - NEW RESIDENTIAL HOUSE.

Linda Willmsen requested that the library be used for an art show to be held during SnoBreak, February 8 and 9, 1986. She stated Terri Eilertson was in the process of organizing the show and the library would therefore have a great deal of control over the show. Mary volunteered to be in the library Sunday during the show thereby eliminating the need to hire a staff member to be present during the show. A motion was made by Paul Acklund and seconded by John Horrocks that the library and the library board co- sponsor the art show. Mary discussed a number of purchases she desired to make for the library. A small table and two chairs for the staff lounge was requested at the cost of $380 to be purchased from Hennen Furniture. A motion was made by Paul Acklund and seconded by Albert Linde to purchase-the table and chairs. Sixteen additional folding chairs are needed to bring the seating capacity of the meeting room up to 30. Mary requested permission to purchase these chairs from Dobratz Furniture for $21 each. A motion was made by Linda Willmsen and seconded by Paul Acklund to make the purchase. A 4' x 8' piece of matting was requested for the inner entry. A motion was made by Albert Linde and seconded by John Horrocks that the matting be purchased from Floor Care Supply Company at the cost of $194. Mary mentioned that Ralph Neumann indicated that the library information street signs will be installed in spring. Mary requested permission to have the telephone in the reference area moved to the work room. The cost for this transfer would be $52. The reason for the request is that being no one was seated at the desk in the reference area, children were playing with the telephone. A motion was made by Paul Acklund and seconded by Linda Willmsen that the phone be moved to the work room. r,,2- The board discussed the items that remained unfinished in connection with the building project. It was suggested that Mary draft a letter to John Korngiebel listing all the items that have not been completed. Each board member is to receive a copy of the letter. Some of the items that remain unfinished include: Heaters in entry Tile in bathrooms Interior library direction signs The exterior light poles will be installed as soon as the light bulbs arrive. Ken Merrill advised the board that the building fund has a remaining balance of $25,000. Congratulations were extended to -Paul Acklund and John Mlinar for their election to office. A motion was made by John Horrocks and seconded by Albert Linde to accept with regret Paul Acklund's letter of resignation from the library board effective January 1, 1986. He cited the increased responsibilities of his position as mayor as the main reason for the resignation. Suggested possible replacements are Larry Ladd, Roy Johnson and Gary Amundson. The purchase of easels and displays for the.art show were discussed. The chairman suggested that Terri Eilertson check into the cost of this equipment and present her findings at the _ next board meeting. Hopefully these purchases can be made prior to the art show to be held in February. Having no- further business, a motion was made by Paul Acklund and seconded by Linda Willmsen to adjourn.

I propose to be on vacation, beginning December 23, 1985 and completing same on January 17, 1986.. The new policy adopted recently, on use of off -duty time, is very restrictive. I find that my work load is heavy until I leave and does not permit me to 46 utilize some off -duty time prior to my vacation. I, therefore, request permission to combine Holiday, Vacation and Old Earned Comp Time during my above- mentioned vacation. I realize that unless the policy is corrected, future vacations will have to consist of Holiday and Vacation time only. MVP /pv * .0 N Marlow V.

Where an existing, half -width street adjoins a portion of the boundary of a proposed subdivision, street dedication in a width needed to make this a full -width street may be required. 5.209 Street and right-of -way widths shall conform to those indicated in . the Transportation Plan. Where such widths are not prescribed therein, the widths shall not be less than the minimums stated in Section 5.30. 5.210 Alleys shall be platted i n the rear of a l l lots to be used for commercial or industrial purposes. Al leys wi 11 not be approved in residential area, unless required by unusual topography or other exceptional conditions. 5.211 Lands abutting arterial or collector streets shall be platted with the view of making the lots, if for residential use, desireable for such use by cushioning the impact of heavy traffic on such trafficways; and with the view also of minimizing interference with traffic on such trafficways as well as the accident hazard. This may be accomplished in several ways: 5.2112 By not fronting the lots on the highway or thoroughfare but on a parallel local street at a distance-of a generous lot depth, in which case private driveways shall connect with such local street; 5.2113 By a collector street platted more or less parallel with the highway or thoroughfares, six hundred (600) to one thousand (1000) feet distance therefrom, from which loop streets or dead end streets would extend toward the highway, the ends of which provide access to the lots abutting the highway to their rear. 5.212 Dead end streets will be approved if limited to five hundred (500) feet long provided a permanently designed turn around area having a minimum dfiameter radius to the edge of the finished street or curb line of not less than fifty f58j fifty -three (53) feet and a minimum roadway diameter right -of -way radius of seventy {38} sixty (60) feet, is constructed. 5.213 Closed subdivisions (with one exit) shall not be permitted. 5.214 Blocks shall have sufficient width to provide for two tiers of lots of appropriate depth, unless, in the opinion of the Commission, prevented by unusual togography or other physical conditions. 5.215 The lengths, widths and shapes of blocks, and lots with blocks, shall be determined with due regard to: 5.2151 Provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the principal and all required accessory uses. 5.2152 Zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions, and provisions regulating off - street parking and loading spaces. 5.2153 Needs for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic. 12 $*I • 5.2154 Limitations and opportunities of topography. 5.2155 Generally, blocks shall not exceed thirteen hundred twenty (1320) feet nor be less than five hundred (500) feet in length measured along the greatest dimension of the block. 5.216 Residential blocks shall normally be of sufficient width for two tiers of lots. Block lengths shall be determined by circulation and other needs. Where residential blocks with lots deeper than two hundred (200) feet are proposed, a reservation for a future street through the middle of the block, longitudinally, may be required. 5.217 Pedestrian crosswalks, not less than ten (10) feet wide, shall be required where deemed essential to provide circulation, or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities. 5.218 The number of intersecting streets along arterial and collector streets shall be held to a minimum, and where practicable, blocks along such trafficways shall not be less than eight hundred (800) feet in length. 5.30 MINIMUM WIDTHS FOR STREETS AND ALLEY RIGHT -OF -WAY: For all public ways hereafter dedicated and accepted, the minimum right -of -way widths for streets and thoroughfares shall be shown in the Comprehensive Plan and where not shown therein, the minimum right - of -way width for streets, arterial highways or pedestrian ways included in any subdivision shall not be less than the minimum dimensions for each classification as follows: Classification Principal Arterial Highway Minor Arterial Highway /Cty.Rd Collector Streets Local Streets Service Drives Alley Pedestrian Way Cul de Sac Desirable Acceptable 194 150 feet 74 -89 89 100 feet 75 80 feet 66 60 39 24 feet 20 10 66 60 feet radius 66 100 feet 9-of e e t 70 feet feet 40 feet met f eet 60 ft. radius Where existing or anticipated traffic on principal and minor arterial highways warrants greater widths of rights -of -way, these shall be required. 5.40 MINIMUM PAVEMENT WIDTHS AND SURFACE TYPE: The following requirements are applicable to all subdivisions with the jurisdic- tion of the Commission. 5.41 Pavement widths for arterial and collector streets will be as designated in the Transportation Plan.

Utility easements of at least ten (10) percent in width shall be provided along the front lot lines adjacent to street 18 right -of -way. 5.972 Utility easements shall connect with easements established in adjoining properties. These easements, when approved, shall not thereafter be changed without the approval of the City Council, by Ordinance, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission. 5.973 Additional easements for pole guys should be provided at the outside of turns. Where possible, lot lines shall be arranged to bisect the exterior angle so that poles guys will fall along side lot lines. 5.974 Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, drainage way, channel or stream, a storm water easement, drainage right -of -way or park dedication, whichever the Planning Commission may deem the most adequate, conforming substantially with the lines of such water course shall be provided, together with such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the storm water drainage of the area. The width of such easements shall be determined by the Planning Commission. 5.98 PUBLIC UTILITIES: 5.981 All new electric distribution lines (excluding main line feeders and high voltage transmission lines), telephone service lines, Cable TV, and services constructed within the confines of and providing service to customers in a newly platted residential area shall be buried underground; unless the council specifically shall find, after study and recommendation by the Planning Commission, that: a. The placing of utilities underground would not be compatible with the development planned; b. The additional cost of burying such utilities would create an undue financial hardship; or c. Topographical, soil or any other conditions make the underground installation unreasonable or impractical. 5.982 All utility lines for telephone and electrical service shall be placed in rear line easements when carried on overhead poles. The Planning Commission may recommend, and the City Council require, that the type of overhead pole used, be of a quality and durability aesthetically in conformance with the nature of the residential development. 5.983 Where telephone, electric and /or gas service lines are to be placed underground entirely, conduits or cables shall be placed within easements or dedicated public ways in such a manner so as not to conflict with other underground services. 5.984 All drainage and other underground utility installations which traverse privately owned property shall be protected by easements. 5.985 The subdivider is responsible for complying with the requirements of this SECTION, and shall submit to the Planning Commission a written record from the utilities showing that the necessary arrangements with the utility involved for the installation of said facilities have been made. 19 6.00 MODIFICATION AND EXCEPTIONS: 6.10 MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS: The general principles of design and minimum requirements for the layout of subdivisions set forth in Section 5.00 may be varied by the City Council in the case of a subdivision large enough to constitute a more or less self- contained neighborhood which is to be developed in accordance with a comprehensive plan safeguarded by appropriate restrictions, and which, in the judgment of the City Council, makes adequate provision for all essential community requirements, provided, however, that no modification shall be granted by the Council which would conflict with the proposals of the official Map or with the other features of the Comprehensive Plan of Hutchinson, or with the intent and purposes of said general priniciples of design and minimum requirements. 6.20 SMALL SUBDIVISION: In the case of a subdivision of small size and minor importance, situated in a locality where conditions are well - defined, and containing not more than four lots fronting on an existing street not involving any new street or road or the extension of municipal facilities and not adversely affecting the adjoining property, the Council may exempt the subdivider from complying with some or all of the requirements stipulated in Section 3.00 pertaining to the preparation of the Preliminary Plat. 6.30 UNUSUAL PHYSICAL CONDITIONS: In any particular case where the subdivider can show that, by reason of exceptional topographic or other physi -cal conditions, strict compliance with any requirement of this ordinance would cause unusual difficulty or exceptional and undue hardship, the City Council may relax such requirement to the extent deemed just and proper, so as to relieve such difficulty and undue hardship, provided that such relief may be granted without detriment to the public good and without impairing the intent and purposes of these regulations or the desirable general development of the neighborhood and the community in accordance with the Comprehen- sive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Hutchinson.

(Review options a and b.) 3. Christmas Eve closing - each year a decision must be made on how to handle 'the Christmas Eve closing time for city hall. In the past, sane councils have granted an extra holiday at this season. With Christmas being in midweek the situation may be somewhat different -this year. Stores us vially close early on December 24. City hall should primly follow this pattern. It is recantended -that city hall close at 3 or 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Fimplcyees of different departments who must work later in the day should receive an equal amount of time off Cthat is, one or two hours) at another time. (The council may want to delegate responsibility for this Christmas Eve closing decision to the city administrator; if so, the item could be added to the new policy book.) t r (612) 587 -5151 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 November 27, 1985 MEMO RAN40UM TU: MAYOR AMID CITY COUNMIL • a • i� n • • • • ia�• • � w is • - �•�+a�� - It is our recommendation that consideration for merit increases for all employees (except police officers, who are ., eaz a longevity system) be changed from January 1 to each employee's 'individual anniversary date, and that this be incorporated into the pay plan resolution which will be adopted for 1986. Directors review the performance of their employees as they grow into their jobs, and using anniversary dates as the perfammance review time is a logical way of dealing with each empolcyeeIs individual situation. Employees are hired at entry level pay and have a right to expect to advance to higher levels in their assigned pay grades as they became more proficient in their performance. The supervisor, who has first hand knowledge of the quality of performance of his/her employees, should have the responsibility an8 the authority to see that each employee's work is fairly cmpensated through this merit system. (It is recommended that merit review for employees with 5 years or less of service be made now (December, 1985) in order to bring these employees into line with the pay equity principles established in the 1985 pay plan.- -�' Thereafter, individual anniversary dates would be used for them also.) It is our belief that merit consideration should be kept corpletely separate from the council consideration for general wage adjustment which is doze in December each year. Doing them during the same month makes it too easy to confuse the processes, which are not related. (612) 587 -5151 f1UTlH' CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 Decenber 2, 1985 MEMORAN -DUM TO: MAYOR AMID CITY COUNCIL FROM: PERSONNEL COORDINATOR HAZEL SITZ �^ RE: OPTIONS FOR GENERAL GCE ADJUS TENT The Council requested recommended procedures for year -end salary changes. 1. It is recommended that consideration for merit increases be kept Is ate from the year end general (cost of living) adjustment. s the .co=mus of department heads. See the memo on that subject in this packet. 2. The January 1 general adjustment takes into account inflation for the past 12 months. Any such adjustment should not change the structure of our pay system but must maintain the integrity of the — in—` t als between grades. In our present.pay plan, the midpoint, or 100 percent level, is the base for - figuring percentage' changes. Several options for general adjustments follow. a. The general adjustment for each pay grade would be X percent of its midpoint. Each individual in that pay grade would receive a given number of cants per hour, regardless of his/her present hourly rate. Each pay grade moves by the same percentage. Ex: Grade VII midpoint is $8.31 times 4% = $.33/hr . every mpicyee in Grade VII receives $.33, whether present rate is-:more or less than $8.31. Grade XII/ midpoint is $12.77 times ~ =4% = $.51/hr (SAL';rF) . every employee in Grade XII receives $.51, whether oresent rate is more or less than $12.77 b. Same as (a) above, and each pay grade moves by the same percentage except make the limitation that no employee would receive an increase larger than that given to Grade D (or another Grade of the Council's choosing). This would serve to level off the larger increases, if that is the Council's desire. c. Do not adjust the pay grades by a percentage for 1986; rather use the same table for another year. Allow an adjustment based on the midpoint of each pay grade. This method would have the effect.of freezing the salary of any individual who is presently at the top of an assigned pay grade. (2 such situations exist.) It would also cause so m? problems with the police longevity schedule.. I believe (a) or (b) above are the most workable methods of dealing with the general adjustment.

Merrill, Finance Director ------------------------------ SUBJECT: Postage Machine And Scale Lease ------------------------ - - - - -- Our postage machine (over 10 years old) has been giving us more trouble, and the maintenance people feel the time has come to replace this equip- ment. A review of equipment shows only Pitney Bowes equipment available. A request is made to purchase, under a lease purchase agreement, a replace- ment postage machine. At the same time a scale which will automatically compute postage cost was demonstrated, and staff believes a savings in postage cost would result. I would, therefore, request the Council authorize staff to enter into a lease purchase arrangement for a Pitney Bowes postage machine and scale. We do have money for this lease in the budget. /ms ?-d'I UoM 5-4 160 Pitney Bowes m szo c b al, Ir m- ine.., with RAIR Pegeftlbr $0 4Pitmy Bo"s Pol,;TAM METER WCH W ik I i I Iva, Bring into yo Pitney Mailin Pbsla the post office ur office with the Bowes Model 5460 g Machine and RMRS ge Meter Giving you tl�e speed, versatility and reliability you need in a mailing system, the Pitney Bowes Model 5460 Mailing Machine and RMRS Postage Meter is ideal for your office or shipping room.

The Pitney Bowes model EMS-5 is an efficient and cost conscious electronic mailing scale. The EMS-5 is pro- grammed to think like you do: about productivity, ease of use, budgets, and performance. The EMS -5's electronic precision means mail and parcels (up to 5 lbs-) can be weighed quickly and accurately. saving time and money. Both the U.S. Postal SerNice and independent research organizations estimate that overstamping — apply-ing extra postage because of misreadings or on- the -line ueighings from mechan- ical scales — accounts for 10-20'0' of annual postage expenditures. The EMS-5 eliminates overstamping. and also saves with rate shopping. By pressing a few keys, an operator can instantly determine the most cost effective method for an individual parcel or at the start of a large uniform mailing. The keyboard of the microprocess- or-driven EMS-5 is color coded for ease of use by trained and inexperienced operators alike. All USPS rates are available on the EMS-5: First Class/ Priority Mail, Third and Fourth Class. International .Air Letter.

Merrill, Finance Director ------------------------------ SUBJECT: Floor Scrubber And Copy Machine— — — — — — — — — — — — — During the 1986 budget nrenaration we discussed the need for a floor scrubber to be shared between the Civic Arena and the new recreation building. Our 1985 recreation building bude_et appears to have enough money to make this purchase this year. The request would be to purchase an Advance TRAL280 at a cost of $6.094.50 from Floor Care Supply Co. We have received two quotes on this machine. With Park & Recreation moving to the new facility, it is necessary for a cony machine to be placed in their new offices. We have reviewed sev- eral machines, but have not yet reached a decision. Because the Council will not be meeting again this year, T would request authorization to purchase a copy machine at a cost not to exceed $2,000. The money would be available from the 1985 recreation building department. We will be following the established purchasing guidelines. /ms q_ F "I R"League a Minnesota Cities x.d !as Increment Financing Pr oject October 31, 1985 Mr. Gary Plotz City Administrator 37 Washington Ave. N. Hutchinson, MN 55350 Dear Mr. Plotz: 1,b 67890,' j N N ELI Ln $Y Earlier this month we informed cities that the League of Minnesota Cities and the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials ( NAHRO) had joined together to support tax increment financing. A program of analysis and representational activities was developed. This step was taken in response to resolutions adopted by city officials who studied the possibilities of legislative action by the legislature in 1986 and beyond. The Boards of Directors of both the League and NAHRO reviewed the proposal and unanimously endorsed the program. ,The League / NAHRO committee retained the law firm of Holmes and Graven as a consultant. Pursuant to this program cities have already received a questionnaire on tax increment finance usage which will provide data for a comprehensive study. City officials will recall that the League / NAHRO program is to be financed by voluntary contributions from cities involved in tax increment finance. These contributions will defray the direct costs of employing Holmes and Graven while the League would provide staff and other services to the effort on behalf of the cities who will benefit from the overall activity, but are not currently engaged in the use of tax increment finance. This letter officially requests your financial contribution in accordance with the enclosed invoice. Several alternatives were considered before establishing the assessment formula. All cities which had tax increment districts in 1984 payable 1985 tax year are being asked to proportionally contribute to the cost of the program. The two factors used are the total assessed value in tax increment districts and the total assessed value of your city. Both of these factors have been adjusted by sales ratio. Statewide totals for all cities using tax increment were established along with each city's percent of that total. Half the cost of the project is assessed based on each city's proportionate share of the total assessed value of the cities involved. The factors used and the resulting assessments are noted in the attached list. We sincerely hope that your city will comply with its voluntary assessment to help preserve tax increment as a viable development tool financing in the future.

December 6, 1985 The Honorable Mayor Sterns City of Hutchinson 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 Dear Mayor Sterns: q.789 ����f a EC 1 985 r M �N tLi � We have received a letter from your engineer Mr. Priebe concerning possible changes in the traffic patterns for the service road in front of the Pamida property. Pamida is opposed to any plans that may -cause this intersection to be closed. Pamida has received from Plan -Mart, four (4) sets of drawings indicating the alterations of this intersection. Here again Pamida is opposed to any closing of the intersection, but would be respective to the service road continuing as a two way traffic road. In other words, we do not want to impede anyone who would want access to the center, and in particular the Pamida building. We do not feel it is a problem at this time, but perhaps there may be when and if highway 15 is made into a four lane highway. This is the right time of the year when traffic is at its peak in the shopping center and on that side of highway 15, to make an observation of the traffic flow to further substantiate our opinion. Respectively, Herbert B. Underwood Sr. Vice President HBU:s cc: Marlow Priebe, Engineer 8800 F Street . P.O. Box 3856 . Omaha, Nebraska 68103 .

Directors review the performance of their employees as they grow into their jobs, and using anniversary dates as the performance review time is a logical way of dealing with each empoloyee's individual situation. Employees are hired at entry level pay and have a right to expect to advance to higher levels in their assigned pay grades as they became more proficient in their performance. The supervisor, who has first hand knowledge of the quality of performance of his/her employees, should have the responsibility and the authority to see that each employee's work is fairly ccnpensated through this merit system. (It is recommended that merit review for employees with 5 years or less of service be made now (December, 1985) in order to bring these employees into line with the pay equity principles established in the 1985 pay plan. Thereafter, individual anniversary dates would be used for them also.) It is our belief that merit consideration should be kept completely separate fron the council consideration for general wage adjustment which is done in December each year. Doing them during the same month makes it too easy to confuse the processes, which are not related. a • (612) 587 -5151 r /T Y OF HUTCH /NSON WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 November 27, 1985 (0 FOR CITY COUNCIL USE ONLY MEMORANDUM TO: MYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: HAZEL SITZ, P COORDIl� rim RE: SALARY HISTORY Attached are excerpts from personnel records, as requested, shoring employee salaries as of November, 1985, as compared to November, 1981.

It is reconnended that consideration for merit increases be kept separate from the year end general (cost ofof living) adjustment.- This is the consensus of department heads. See the mob on that subject in this packet. 2. The January 1 general adjustment takes into account inflation for the past 12 months. Any such.adjustment should not change the structure of our pay system but must maintain the integrity of the inTtexvals between grades. In our present pay plan, the 0 midpoint, or 100 percent level, is the base for figuring percentage changes. Several options for general adjustments follow: a. The general adjustment for each pay grade would be X percent of its midpoint. Each individual in that pay grade would receive a given number of cents per hour, regardless of his/her present hourly rate. Each pav grade moves by the same percentage. Ex: Grade VII midpoint is $8.31 times 4% = $.33/hr . every employee in Grade VII receives $.33, whether present rate is more or less than $8.31. Grade XII/ midpoint is $12.77 times 4% = $.51/hr (SAL -F) . every enplcyee in Grade XII receives $.51, whether present rate is more or less than $12.77 b. Same as (a) above, and each pay grade moves by the same percentage, except make the limitation that no employee would receive an increase larger than that given to Grade D (or another Grade of the Council's choosing). This would serve to level off the larger increases, if that is the Council's desire. c. Do not adjust the pay grades by a percentage for 1986; rather use the same table for another year. Allow an adjustment based on the midpoint of each pay grade. This method would have the effect of freezing the salary of any individual who is presently at the top of an assigned pay grade. (2 such situations exist.) It would also cause. scme.prablems with the police longevity schedule. I believe (a) or (b) above are the most workable methods of dealinq with the general adjustment.

We feel this is a fair amount since the Hospital employees have received a 3.5% adjustment. We strongly urge that merit increases be considered as usual. Without them there is no way for advancement. A consideration might be to change merit increases from the first of the year to an eaplcyee's anniversary date. 0 Yh Cu� POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE November 28, 1985 TO Gary Plotz, City Administrator FROM Sgt.

These figures were arrived at by looking at the CPI which is currently about 3.3% in Minnesota and also comparing what other employee groups in our area have settled for.

E Tuesday, Oct The Employment Cost Index (ECI) increased 1.6 percent in the 3 months ended in September 1985, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics re- ported today. For the year ended in September 1985, the ECI rose 4.9 percent, dawn from 5.1 percent for the year ended in September 1984. -The ECI measures - changes in compensation costs, which include wages, salaries, and employer costs for employee benefits. The 1.6 percent increase in oompensaticn costs in the June - September period was above the 1.3 percent gain in the same period a year ago. The higher rate of change resulted from larger compensation increases for private industry workers (1.3 percent, up from 0.8 percent). State and local government workers, on the other hand, registered a 3.4 percent increase in June- September 1985, about the same as the 3.5 percent gain a year earlier. Compensation cost changes for State and local government workers are heavily concentrated in the June - September quar- ter, whereas those for private industry workers are mare widely dispersed throughout the year. For the year ended in September 1985, compensation cost increases (4.9 percent) were below gains a year ago (5.1 percent). The slowdown was registered primarily for State and local government workers (6.0 percent, down from 6.6 percent). For Private industry workers, compensation casts increased at about the same rate as a year earlier (4.7 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively). ********************************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * This release provides for the first time, estimates of * quarterly change in compensation costs, and in wages and * salaries only, for workers in health services. Data are * provided for workers in private industry, in State and * local governments, and in the two sectors combined. * * * These new series are part of the Federal government's * effort to improve statistical programs for service- produc- * * ing industries, i.e., transportation and public utilities; * * trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; service indus- * * tries; and governments. As part of the effort, this * release also presents for the first time, series for the * service - producing sector as a whole as well as for goods- * producing industries (mining, construction, and * manufacturing) combined. ********************************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** Y 2 In contrast to the slight decline in the rate of compensation cost increases, over- the -year wage and salary gains (5.0 percent) were substantially higher than those a year ago (4.3 percent). A higher rate of wage and salary increase was found for private industry workers (4.8 percent, up from 4.1 pest), but not for State and local government workers (5.6 percent, dawn from 5.8 percent). Over-the- year wage and salary increases for nonunion workers in private industry continued to outstrip those of union workers, as has been the case for the past 2 years. For the year ended in September 1985, nonunion pay gains averaged 5.4 percent, compared with 3.6 percent for union workers. Wage and salary advances in private industry also varied by occupation and indus- try group over the September 1984 -85 period. Among white- collar workers, pay gains ranged from 4.2 percent for clerical workers to 8.0 percent for sales workers '(the most volatile ECI series, heavily influenced by commission earnings). The range for blue - collar workers was from 3.4 percent for nonfarm laborers to 4.8 percent for craft and kindred workers. The variation in average pay gains by industry group in the year ended in September 1985 was from 2.6 percent for cenr- _ struction to 7.6 percent for finance, insurance, and real estate (also strongly influenced by commission earnings). The September 1985 ECI level stood at 128.4, based on June 1981 =100. The ECI covers private industry (excluding farms and households) and State and local government workers. It is not seasonally adjusted. 0 �J � M COMPENSATION able 1. Employment Cost Index by occupation and industry group ,L/ (Not seasonally adjusted) Series Indexes (June 1981=100) n sea for I I Sept.

E.D.T. Media Contact: Friday, August 16, 1985 Kathryn Hoyle (202) 523 -1913 STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING SETTLEMENTS FIRST 6 MONTHS 1985 - Major collective bargaining settlements reached for State and local government workers during the first 6 months of 1985 provided average wage adjustments of 4.9 percent in the first contract year and 5.1 percent annually over the life of the contract, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The settlements covered nearly 560,000 workers. The Bureau's major collective bargaining series for State and local government covers bargaining units with 1,000 workers or more. The series includes data on wage change developments for 2.1 million workers, or about one -half of the State and local government workers that bargain over wages. The Bureau also measures compensation (wage and benefit costs) adjustments in State and local government settlements covering 5,000 workers or more. Such settlements reached during the first half of 1985 provided compensation adjustments that averaged 4.7 percent in the first contract year and 4.9 percent a year over the contract life. In addition to data on settlements, this release includes information on wage changes effective during the first half of the year that resulted from settlements during the period, agreements reached-in earlier periods, and cost -of- living adjustments (COLAs). Settlements during the first 6 months of the year covered 558,000 workers, 55 percent of whom were in State government. There were, however, 737,000 workers, about two- thirds in State government, under contracts that had expired or reopened but had not been renegotiated by June 30. Fifty -four percent of the workers under settlements were employed in general government and administration, twenty percent in education, and the remainder in health care, transportation, and protective services. Average (mean) wage adjustments were about the same in State as in local government -- 4.9 and 4.8 percent, respectively, in the first-contract year. Corresponding adjustments averaged 5.2 and 5.1 percent annually over the contract life. Almost all State and local workers will receive a wage increase during the contract term, and none will have a wage decrease. However, no first -year wage increase was negotiated for 12 percent of local government workers compared with 2 percent of State government employees. - 2 - i Effective wage adjustments are those that result from (1) settlements In the first 6 months of 1985, (2) deferred changes made under agreements negotiated earlier, and (3) COLA provisions.

When prorated over all 2.1 million workers covered by major agreements in State and local government, wage adjustment averaged 1.6 percent. Only 2 percent of the State and local government workers under major agreements (all in local transit) have COLA provisions, compared with 53 percent in the private sector. About 26,000 local government workers had COLA reviews in the first half of 1985. Of these, 16,000 had COLA increases averaging 0.8 percent. Wage adjustments stemming from COLA reviews in the first 6 months of 1985 averaged 38 percent of the change in consumer prices during the COLA review period. Nearly 1.1 million State and local government workers under major agreements may be involved in bargaining during the second half of 1985. There are 737,000 workers under 177 major contracts that had reopened or expired by June 30,1985, but had not been renegotiated or ratified. A little over two - fifths of the workers were in education and one - fourth were in general government (public administration). An additional 277,000 workers are under 85 major agreements that are slated to expire between July and December, and 77,000 more are covered by contracts that have wage reopening provisions. Nearly nine - tenths of the workers under expiring or reopening agreements or&I In local government, most in education and general government. Nearly 390,000 workers are scheduled to receive deferred wage increases averaging 4.9 percent during the last half of 1985. These changes will made under provisions of existing bargaining agreements negotiated earls About 20,000 workers are scheduled for COLA reviews during the last 6 months of 1985.
