HISTORY There has been increased use of portable sandwich board signs especially in the downtown district. The Sign Ordinance is • confusing. Section 10. 14, Sign Standards by Zoning District (2d) prohibits use of portable signs except by conditional use if placed on collector street&. The Prohibited Signs (7) section prohibits portable signs altogether. Of course, the more restrictive section applies per Section 2.01. On January 2l' the Downtown Physical Appearance Committee met to discuss the proposed ordinance. Thcy agreed that an ordinance should be in place for sandwich boards to create guidelines for the business ownen. In the future, we will address portable signs in other commercial districts.

They have provided a proposal to you that outlined the conditions of how The services will be provided and under what conditions they will provide. thern. You provided us with a fax copy of that proposal to use to prepare that attached change order. I have included a cost of $13,800 in the change order that assumes an operational duration of six 12 hour days and some limJted involvement and mark tip for McCormick Construction, It is expected that the time needed to reduce the sludge volurne will only require five 10 horn days, of operation, so I have built a little cushion into the cost in case you need to have the additional operating time. I have contacted have McCormick at N4cCormjck Construction to discuss this additional work with him At this time, he is checking with his insurance agency to see if he has coverage for this work to be performed as additional work under a change order to his CODMCL He does, not think he has coverage for this, and suggested that the City provide the required coverage tinder their insurance prograrn. Dave is checking with his agency and will get back to us as soon as he is able to determine the status of insurance coverage. Based on his discussions with his insurance agent, he will decide if he is able to accommodate this work, at this time via a change oidui as you requested. P'lea:;e note that one of the conditions of Scott F(luipment's proposal is that they will only complete the proposed work if someone, and in the case of the language used in the proposal, the City, provides m&-nnification to Scott Equipment from any liability for damage To City property or employees Through the operation of the dryer or other equipment operated by the Scott Equipment employee while on site, The City will need to address this condition should McCormick state they will not be able to. please contact = if you, have any questions an this proposed change order To McCormick's contract.

The sludge being stored in the owner's sludge storage system is reaching its capacity because the wet fields do not allow the owner to land dispose of it. Under these conditions, the owner previously would have had to dispose of the excess liquid sludge via commercial hauler and landfill disposal. A second option is to use the biosolids drying system to process the liquid sludge to solid pellets. The owner has requested the contractor to subcontract with Scott Equipment to operate the blosolids drying equipment for a five day period to reduce the volume of the stored sludge. The owner has received a proposal from Scott Equipment to conduct this additional operation. A copy of the proposal is attached to this change order. The propowd cost of the operation Is computed as follows: • Assuma six days of operation at 12 hours: 6 days x $2.000 per day - $12,[100 • Contractor involvement and markup: 1.800 • Not to exceed total: $13.800 . it is assumed that it will only take five days to reduce the existing sludge storage to an acceptable level, but an additional day is built into the cost should the owner desire to have the system operate longer. r� APPLICATION FOR ON -SMY INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICF.NST: Thin tutor was prepared by the City of Hutohinson and the Mlnnonuta • Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Department of Public Safety, pursuant to Minneeot• 5tatUtea, 1976, Section 340.13, for purpoava of back- ground lnveettgatlon.

CLTMRMY 56) C� TO: Mayor and Council From: Dolf Moon Director PRCE Date: 4/3/03 Re: Soft Drink Agreement The PRCE Department is requesting authorization to enter into a ten - year agreement with Bernicks Pepsi to become the preferred beverage provider at the Hutchinson Recreation Center. Two proposals were submitted and based on information provided by the vendors I would recommend entering into this agreement. The preferred proposal will provide two wireless multi purpose scoreboards for the building and $50,000 dollars as part of the agreement. The cash portion of the • agreement can be received upfront or be spread over the life of the agreement. The decision on how the revenue is received should be reviewed so we will not be penalized by the State of Minnesota. I would further recommend that the dollars received be placed into the Parkland Dedication fund and they be utilized as part of the capital improvement budget rather than general operations. In light of the recent budget reductions this is a very positive development. I will be in attending the Council meeting should you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. 0 PRCE 9 Ca) BERNICK' S PEPSI WILL PROVIDE ➢ Display coolers for concessions area ➢ Misc. clocks, menu boards, banners ect_ ➢ 24 hours day a week service ➢ 2 Daktronic basketball scoreboards ➢ Regular pricing for concession product ➢ Full Service Vendors - commission rates at: ➢ Candy /Snacks . 20% ➢ 20oz Soda 300/c ➢ Juices 20010 ➢ Gatorade 15% ➢ 10 year contract for $50,000.00 - payable in: ➢ One check upfront OR a yearly check for $5,000 * This contract is for exclusive Pepsi Products • 0 �1 CITY OF HUTCHINSON MEMO Finance Department April 4, 2003 TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROMt KEN MERRILL, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLD Background We are preparing to depreciate all fixed assets for the City of Hutchinson required by Government Account Standard Board (GASB) statement 34. Statement 34 requires, among several items, the depreciating of fixed assets beginning for the City of Hutchinson in 2003. In the past all items that have been coded as capital items for equipment, buildings, etc have been tracked. It would be proposed to change this past policy to a new threshold of $1,000 for 2002 and beyond. In future budgets we would move items that had been previously recorded as machinery, equipment, etc would now be expensed in the year acquired if they are under $1,000. we have received an e -mail from our auditors agreeing this $1,000 threshold would be appropriate for the City of Hutchinson. Action We would ask the council to approve a policy setting the threshold for capitalization of fixed assets for the City of Hutchinson at $1,000. Hi \DOC \City council memo 1.doc 11 �cb) CITY OF HUTCHINSON IMPLEMENTATION OF STAFF REDUCTIONS UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL April 8, 2003 At the previous City Council meeting of March 25, 2003, the City Administrator and the management team indicated to the Council that a staff reduction plan, due to the budget reduction issues, would be implemented in the near term. The following is a summary of all of the positions/employees included in the implementation plan. All employees subject to the layoff actions have been officially notified: 0�, PRCE PT Community Services Programmer PRCE Youth Recreation Programmer PRCE Park Maintenance Operator PRCE Park Maintenance Operator PRCE PRCE Secretary City Center Custodian/Courier FinancdCity Center .PT City Center Receptionist Finance/City Center PT City Center Receptionist Engineering /Streets Infrastructure Mgmt. Specialist HATS Public Works Technician Cemetery PT Cemetery Maintenance Position Vacancies 2003 — 2004 Police Police Patrol Officer Police Police Patrol Officer Police PT Police Patrol Officer Police CSO /Security Guard As was also outlined at the previous meeting, service and/or program reductions were to be expected due to the staffing reductions. Specific service reductions that have already resulted include the following: • Reduced public hours at City locations including City Center and PRCE. These offices now have public hours firom 9:00 am. to 12:00 noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There are no reception services at City Center during office hours. • Customers are no longer able to access Administration /Finance or Building/Planning from 8:00 to 9:00 am. and 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. or outside of the office hours. Building Implementation of Staff Reductions Update to City Council April 8, 2003 contractors may still call to arrange for inspections prior to 9:00 am., but building permits may not be applied for or issued during the lunch hour. Residents are encouraged to use the Water /Sewer /Garbage/Utility payment drop box located in the City Center parking lot outside of the office hours. • The Motor Vehicle Office has maintained its existing business hours. However, motor vehicle staff are not able to provide reception duties for the other departments for times outside of the City Center office hours. • Callers to the main City number now access an automated telephone system that is in service 24 hours a day. Callers receive a recorded message that includes information about the change in office hours and numbered options. These options include Administration/Finance/City Attorney, Sewer/Water /Crarbage/Racycling, Building and Planning, Engineering/Streets, and an operator. Building and planning personnel provide the limited operator services, Calls are being tracked departmentally to determine if any changes to this configuration of the phone system are needed. • In addition to the reduced office hours at PRCE, the Recreation Center is no longer open and available for the early morning walkers. Event Center reception hours have also been reduced to 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Previous hours were 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. • With the reduction of two positions in the maintenance area, City parks and other City buildings/facilities no longer receive the same level of daily attention. • Public right-of-way and storm water issues from residents will now be directed to the Assistant Public Works Director. Those issues will need to be prioritized and addressed, as staff is available. • Police Services staffing issues surrounding the decision to not fill the vacant police patrol and CSO /security positions. Other service level changes will be monitored as they are implemented and reported to the Council as needed. 1] F- LJ 1 r R55APPYR CI FIiUTCHIN N B Check umber JAP Payment Re later with Voids Check@ Ck Data Type I Check N Vendor Neme Amount 4/8/2003 IRK 116000 " 102136 BUSINE SWARE SOLUTIONS 421.63 4/812003 PK 116001 1 102138 BUSINESSWARE SOLUTIONS 2211.88 2633.61 ccount N N 2833.51 av R55APPYFCSV20000VO CITY OFHUTCHINSON By Check Number AP Payment Raplater with Vokia Check Dati 3/91/2003 Ck Date QL Date Type Check # Vendor Name Amount 3/31/2003 3131/2003 PK 115997 " 102787 MCLEOD COUNTY TREASURER 144.21 828.21 IMMEDIATE PAYS r� 828.21 R55APPYRV I CITY OF HUTCHINSON By Check Number AP Payment Register with Voids Check Dat 4/4/2003 - k Date T a Check N Vendor Name Amount Vold Amo 4/412003 PK 115998 101869 HUTCHINSON, CITY OF 415.5 4/4/2003 PK 115999 101869 HUTCHINSON CITY OF 1174 1689.5 Account Number 1589.6 IMMEDIATE PAYS 40 r 0 PAYROLL ACCOUNT -PAYROLL OF APRIL 4, 2003 Period Ending: March 29, 2003 FOR COUNCIL LIST ONLY - ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TO STATE AND IRS DO NOT ISSUE CHECKS FOR THIS PAGE AMOUNT PEIU ACCTN NAME DESCRIPTION $18,888.83 9896.2034 WITH.

This would be a surcharge that would be added to all HUC ratepayers and it is significant. Although the required surcharge is 0.5% of the gross operating revenue 1'or the sale of natural gas and 1.5% for gross operating revenues from the sale of electricity, this translates into an annual cost ol'approximately $100,000 in additional costs for 3M and approximately 550,000 extra for HTI. The average residential ratepayer in Hutchinson would end up paying $15.00 more per year because of this charge. A representative from the Utilities will be at the meeting tonight to direct any specific questions you may have regarding this. PonW on rnydud paper -
