subgroup has been established to review the existing plan and identify opportunities for
improvement.
D. Strategic Plan Graves presented a draft of the proposed 1999 Strategic Plan. Most of
the emphasis in 1999 will be based on improvement in operations, increasing oncology
services, acquiring additional property adjacent to the hospital, solving parking problems,
and to be Y2K compliant. This item will be placed on the January agenda for adoption.
E. Budget. Tusa presented the following highlights of the 1999 operating budget:
• Admissions to grow by 4.9% over 1998 projected.
• Average length of stay to increase from 3.4 to 3.6 days.
• • Patient days to grow by 8.7% over 1998 projected.
• Outpatient volumes to grow by 6.2% over 1998 projected.
• Case Mix adjusted standardized resident days to grow by .6% over 1998 projected.
• Gross price increase of 5% to net approximately 1.5 %.
• Budgeted operating margin = 5.5 %.
• Budgeted net income = 7.0 %.
• Days in accounts receivable to decrease to at least 55 by December 31, 1999.
• Capital budget = to be determined.
F. Evaluation of the Board. Tom O'Connor announced Allina would circulate a form for
you to complete and return to them. All data will be aggregated and findings will be
presented at the January meeting.
G. Surgery Room Expansion. Graves reported there is a need to expand our surgery
treatment room and endoscopic procedure room to accommodate a surgery- scheduling
problem and associated patient care issues with endoscopy. $50,000 is planned in the
1999 budget to finance these changes. This item will be introduced at an upcoming
meeting when drawings and costs are determined.
H. Organizational Retorts.
A. President Graves reported there will be the "7" Annual Conference for Trustees
and Board Chairs, on January 22 — 24, 1999, to be held at the Radisson Hotel
South & Plaza Tower in Minneapolis.
B. Acute Care Programs and Services No additional information was reported.

D. Community Care Programs and Services No additional information was

H. Ouality Committee Report. Lien presented data for Emergency Services and

dimensions except Continuity and Transition for Emergency Services. Our comparison
with data at the national level for Picker is unknown at this time because Allina data is
not yet included with their national data.
Problem scores were high on questions relating to two dimensions of care in the
Ambulatory Surgery Service results. The question, "Not told completely accurately how
I would feel after surgery had high problem scores." Areas of improvement identified for
Ambulatory Surgery are Information and Education and Surgery Specific dimensions.

discussed and there was a consensus that it was an appropriate hourly rate range.
Additionally, we discussed a potential interview committee with representatives that were
experienced, however, may not be from either the McLeod County or the City of
Hutchinson; to increase the credibility of the selection process.
It was discussed that the County's consultant for the technical aspects of the transition
has already begun work at the Hutchinson Police Department. Wayne will get a general
timetable from Jeff Nelson on the technical aspect of the timeline for the next meeting.
We discussed the need for a note taker, agendas, and specifically a general timetable for
various activities.
Our next meeting will be at McCormick's Restaurant at 7:30 a.m., Friday, January 15,
1999. Bonnie Baumetz will be our note taker and Brenda Ewing, Human Resource

NOTES FROM
DISPATCH STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING
Friday, January 15, 1999
Present: Wayne Vinkemeier, Steve Madson, Nan Crary and Gary Plotz
Note taker: Bonnie Baumetz
1. Discussion of Job Description Research/Rough Draft
Brenda Ewing commented on her process of contacting approximately ten county
communication centers including Scott, Carver, Rice/Steele /Owatonna, Steams,
Sherburne, St. Louis, Kandiyohi, Pipestone and Lyon. She compiled the
information and presented the committee with a draft job description for the
position of Director of Emergency Communications/Records. Brenda stated the
St. Louis and Kandiyohi job descriptions seemed to be the most similar to the
McLeod County position. Discussion followed on the qualifications and
competencies required for the position.
Nan Crary cautioned the committee to focus on the competencies not how they
were attained. The job description should not be so specific it narrows the field
• of candidates. Discussion followed on the necessary qualifications and criteria to
be developed. It was the consensus of the committee that qualifications include
supervisory management skills, communication skills and marketing skills. Nan
commented that the minimum qualifications should not be set too high and the
preferred qualifications could be more flexible. Steve Madson stated an
assessment center may be a resource to review the applications and recommend
the top candidates. Wayne Vinkemeier suggested Jeff Nelson would have
resources to draw from and reported Jeff Nelson would possibly recommend
Profiled Evaluations Inc. (Cindy Solie at 612- 639 - 8778).
There was also discussion on how to handle the advertising of salary range.
There were options such as the range based on qualifications, advertising a career
range and starting range or advertising a step 1 to step 6 (mid point) starting
salary range. Wayne reported the position would be at a Grade 25 with Step 1 at
$17.24/hr. or annual $35,859.00 and Step 6 at $19.98/hr or annual $41,558.00.
Step 12 is the top of the range at $23.17/hr. or $48,194.00. Nan and Wayne will
review the numbers and determine the advertising of salary range.
Discussion followed to determine the supervision of the position. Wayne
suggested the Chief Deputy and Sheriff as the supervisors.
Nan stated she would distribute the job description to the County Board and stated
• she has been authorized to begin the advertising process at any time.
t Q-1
2. Discussion of Overall Time -line

Eau Claire (1); direct mailing to other Minnesota communication centers (Wayne
will provide information); APCO Periodical and E -911 magazine (if the deadline
is not over) and St. Cloud and Mankato Colleges. Nan suggested she check with
Rice/Steele /Owatonna to gather information on their success in advertising.

NOTES FROM MEETING
Monday, January 25. 1999
Members: Nan Crary, McLeod County Administrator
Gary Plotz, Hutchinson City Administrator
Wayne Vinkemeier, McLeod County Sheriff
Steve Madson, Hutchinson Police Chief
Note taker: Bonnie Baumetz
Also Present: Jeff Nelson, Al Dubois and Mark Taylor, Deputy Sheriff
Wayne Vinkemeier stated the civil service Hiles require a written test be given to applicants. Nan
Crary stated the process could be streamlined and the test be mailed to the applicants. The test
would possibly be an essay type test to measure communication, composition, knowledge and
• managerial skills.
1. Update by Jeff Nelson on Activities/Technical Time -line
Jeff Nelson commented on the hardware available some of which is existing and some
would be new. He stated the alarm panel and micro processor cards could be used however
new cards would also be purchased. Discussion followed on the logistics of the
transitional period when the change over is to take place from Hutchinson to the County.
The concerns being service to the hospital and fire department.
Jeff stated the lead order time would take up to 6 weeks. This would include travel time,
reprogramming and set up. He stated the system would require 4 cards (long term) 2 card
(short term). Each card costs approximately $1,500.
Wayne stated he must maintain the capability to keep one department functional.
Discussion followed on the possibility a temporary facility in Glencoe by remote. Jeff
stated the process to change over would take one day which could raise issues with
ambulance and fire department. He commented that if the 4 cards were purchased up front
the transition would move forward more smoothly and properly. Jeff stated he would need
the authority to order the proper equipment to get the system up and running.
Another issue Jeff raised, is the radio licensing which take up to 180 days.
n
U
Wayne gave Jeff authority to order the cards and circuits necessary through Mankato
Mobile.
There is an issue with the operational methodology and many opinions on the decision to be
made.
Jeff stated he would order 3 cards to begin which the 3` card being for public works
channel.
Discussion followed on how the City utility and public works interact. It was the consensus
of the committee to look into the possibility of the entire County public works capability in
the event of emergency. The question was raised to Jeff if one card could address the entire
county. Jeff stated theoretically yes but in reality maybe. Jeff will check out the capability
of a multi- function card for the communities in the county. Nan stated the Commissioners
made a commitment to make the service as good or better than previously.
Jeff commented that the technical issue would be the licensing of the present system if the
City remained on one frequency. He stated the receivers will be re -tuned with Glencoe to
get similar performance as presently the City experiences.
There was discussion on the alarms connected with banks and pharmacies where the
circuits are constantly supervised. There is also a digital dialer system for property
protection. Jeff stated these systems could be moved to Glencoe at more cost to the
subscriber. He would suggest a central monitoring station which would possibly be less •
costly. Steve stated Elector Watchman is already the central monitoring station for
Hutchinson. Jeff stated the monitoring trend in industry is to go to central location and get
it out of public emergency services which is a liability to the city or county.
Steve stated 3M monitors alarms in house
Jeff will provide cost figures and give the committee pros and cons and will tune up the
time -line with new dates. The Commissioners would like reassurance this can be done.
There should always be a back up plan.
Discussion followed on the monitoring of the Police Department building and the
operational issues connected with the dispatch moving to the county. Steve will have a
meeting with his staff to identify the issues.
Jeff and Al will attend the January 26, 1999, City Council meeting to update them.
2. Discussion on Process for Software Evaluation/Coordination
There will be a meeting on Monday, February 8, 1999, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a
facilitator to discuss software. The meeting will be held at the City Center in the Main
Conference Room with city and county technical staff present to discuss all aspects of
software necessary. They will frame questions to present to each vendor independently. •
0 3. Review of assessment tool
Committee will discuss at another meeting.
4. Other Items
There was discussion concerning the written test to be given and input by the committee
members as to the questions. Nan will collect the committee ideas by January 29". The
committee will meet on February 4' at 7:30 am. McCormick's the only discussion on
the agenda will be the written exam question.

FOR COUNCIL
REVIEW ONLY
FROM: Brenda Ewing, Human Resources/Transit Coordinator
RE: Severance Discussion — Draft Settlement Agreement
DATE: January 8, 1999
Attached is a copy of a settlement agreement with language that, according to our personnel
attorney, Tim Pawlenty of Rider, Bennett, Egan and Arundel, is customary. This should give
you an idea of what the City would choose to include in such an agreement.
This information has not been made public, and, is for your review only, at this time.
City Administrator Plotz requested that I ask that the Council defer the matter of the discussion
of the severance package at the next meeting on January 12, 1999. Apparently, there have been a
• number of issues that have arisen with the process consolidation of the communications that need
to be addressed prior to further discussion of a severance package.
If you have any questions regarding this draft, please contact me.

Re: Appointment of new fire officers
On Monday, January 4, 1999 the Fire Department membership voted for the
following officers and approved the salary that goes with each job.
I am asking you to approve these appointments, because we did not budget
the correct amount for the Battalion Chiefs and Lieutenants salaries for
1999 we will make up the shortfall in our firefighter pay by having the
officers respond to more calls by themselves.
HUTCHINSON FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS
Assistant Chiefs: Steve Schramm and Dan Steele (Two-year Term)
Battalion Chiefs: Gary Forcier, Casey Stotts and Jim Popp (One -Year Term,
$1500.00 each)
Lieutenants: Duane Hoeschen, Bob Hagen, TomGlaeser and Russ Duenow
(Two -Year Term, $750.00 each)

RE: Consideration of Awarding Bid for Airport Improvements:
Phase H Development
® Arrival/Departure Building/Maintenance Hanger
DATE: December 17, 1998
The bids for the Phase II Development work at the Airport was opened on Tuesday,
go December 15` and was below the cost estimate. The bid for the second project will
be opened on Friday, December 18". The advertisements for the bids noted that the
Council would act on the bids at the December 22' Council Meeting.
We have yet to finalize agreements with the State on financing for the project, and
therefore are requesting that the award be deferred until the January 26' Council
meeting.

RE: Consideration to Award Airport Improvement Projects and Enter Into

Arrival/Departure Building & FBO Facility
Phase II Development
DATE: January 21, 1999
Due to a delay in verification of funding availability we are recommending deferring
consideration of the above referenced items until February 9'.
Please also note the following additional issues:
• A spreadsheet of the expected cost breakdown is attached. We had originally
expected our additional costs to be approximately $80,000. As noted, it is now
expected to be $85,273.90. We need to verify the remaining funding issues.
• Supplemental Agreement No. 1 for Engineering Consulting services with TKDA
is attached. I thought this was previously approved, but apparently has not been.
This is included in the cost estimates for the project. We recommend approving
Supplemental Agreement No. 1 for Engineering Consulting services with
TKDA IN THE AMOUNT OF $21

Dear Mr. Plotz:
Enclosed in regard to your bid opening scheduled for December 15, 1998, is a sample resolution authorizing 2 city
officials to enter into the state aid agreement on the subject project. We will require 4 copies of the resolution. In
addition, we will also require a copy of the tabulation of bids, a copy of the low bidder's proposal, a project sketch
showing the federal eligible items and a listing of the cost of the federal eligible items. The federal eligible items
for this project will be as follows:
I. Grade and pave partial parallel taxiway to Runway 15/33 (approx. 40' by 1,000').
2. Grade and pave apron with connecting taxiway (approx. 265' by 520'& 40' by 2051.
3. Apron Lighting.
4. Grade, pave and light entrance road (approx. 24' by 900.
Although the hangar taxilanes are also eligible for federal participation, federal aid is not being offered due to the
priority of the work and the amount of federal funding available. For your information, the reconstruction of the
taxilanes, the construction of the new taxi lane from the new apron, the construction of the new hangar area, the
Wing for the FBO facility, the relocation of the fuel system, access road to the new apron and the modifications to
the existing hangar buildings will be eligible for 50% state funding. The parking lot construction, clearing and
grubbing of trees, well and septic system construction, fencing and grading for the arrival/departure building will be
eligible for 60 state funding. A separation of quantities based upon the different funding rates will be required to
apply for the federal grant and draft the state funding agreement.
We are also enclosing for the city's action, 3 copies of the Agency Resolution. This resolution will allow our office
to prepare and submit to the FAA the Application For Federal Assistance.
If you have any questions concerning the above items, please feel free to contact our office.

Subject. Quotations received for pickup to be used by the Fire Chief
We received 3 excellent quotations from local automobile dealers.
Ei an's Auto Sala 1998 Chevrolet Pickup 15,4(x1 id_ miles $22,279.00
Valley Sales 1999 Chevrolet Pickup umv truck $22,742.38
Plowmans, Inc. 1999 Ford Pickup new truck $23,704.50
It is important to include as ninny local auto dealers as possible In the quotation process, therefore, the spceifications
were written to include the potential for purchasing a used vehicle for the Me Chief. '[lie primary advantage to used
vehicles Is the reduction in price because of depreciation. In (his case, the used vehicles available that generally
met the specifications was a truck with options the City world not uonnelly specify (i.e., power locks mid power
windows, and others).
For the quo(ndons we received, to dirfereuce betiveen the price of the used trick and the lowest new truck is only
$463.38.
The benefit of purchastng the used truck cgta(ts to only $0.03 per tulle. hr addition, less than % of the warranly
period is left tot the used truck. Had flit price diftefetiGai been greater, It would have been worthwhile to consider
the purchase of a used vehicle.
The first priority recommendation Is to putclrase a 1999 Chevrolet Pickup from Valley Sales ter $22,742.38.
The differential In price between the new Purd and the used th'uck Is $1,425.50, which crakes the second priority
recommendation to purchase a 1999 trtfrd Pickup Rom Plowman's htc. lbr $23,704.50.
The last priority recommcriciation Is to putolase n Used 1998 Chevrolet Pickup from Eman's Auto Sales for
S22,279.00.

Hutchinson Civic Arena Code and Structural Review of Bleacher
System
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates
BRA File No. 223 Gen
January 22, 1999
Exlsling Conditions
We understand that the bleachers were installed when the ice arena was constructed in 1976. The
bleachers were originally installed in another arena and moved to the Hutchinson arena at that time.
The bleachers are divided into two distinct sections. The lower section goes from the back side of
the da.sherboiuds to the outside wall of the town rooms. The upper section is supported on the
precast concrete mezzanine above the tewn rooms. The sectiuns are situated close together and
appear as one continuous section of bleachers.
• The bleachers have wood foot boards and wood scats that Lire supported by steel brackets. The
brackets arc attached to steel channels that span transverse to the bleacher seats. The channels are
supported by steel angles at approximately six feet on center. Longitudinal and transverse bracing is
providal by steel angles. Most of the connections between the steel members cure bolted with the
exception of some of the bracing perpendicular to Games supporting the bleachers. All of the steel
members are painted black. The steel members show no evidence of corrosion.
A 1 c
The following is a Code Review of the existing bleachers identifying which items are in compliance
with the 1997 Minnesota State Building Code and which items are not. The primary categories of
review are:
• Bleacher specifics
• Exiting
• Fire resistance
• Accessibility compliance
it is my rocornmendation that these bleachers be updated to fully comply with current code.
Providing new bleachers or remodeling existing bleachers may be estimated at approximately SIOO
per seat.

Structural Review
Both the lower bleacher and upper bleacher sections were analyzed for tiro design loads specified in
Chapter 16 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code. The design loads are 100 pounds per square foot to
the overall hucacher system and 120 pounds per lineal foot of the bleacher seats and foot boards.
"rho results of the analysis were:
• The main steel support members for the bleachers are adequate to carry the design loads.
• • The bolted connections between the steel members are not adequate to carry the design loads.
Sonic of the connections are strossed to over twice the allowable stress if the bolts.
• The connection of the bleachers to the concrete masonry wall outside of the team rooms is not
adequate to carry the design loads.
• The wood boards for the bleacher seats and the foot boards are not adequate to carry the design
loads and have an oxcessive amount of deflection under the design loads. While the deflection
of the boards does not pose a structural problem, it does cause an undesirable sensation to the
user.
Temporary Repair Options
Two temporary repair options were investigated. Each of the options are mnporury in nature and
have some restrictions to the use of the facility.
Option 1 — Bracing Under the Seat Boards and Foot Boards
This option would entail installing wood posts and bracing under each of the wood seat boards and
foot Wards. The posts would reduce the span of the seat boards and foot boards in half and
consequently make these elemonts much stiffer. The resulting allowable stresses in these members
would be within the allowable limits.
The addition of the posts and bracing would also significantly reduce the loads to the existing main
steel frames that support the bleachers. This reduction in loading would reduce the stresses on
bolted connections to he within the alkywablc limits.

•
Since post are not desirable in the corridor outside of the team rooms, a now ennnection would need
to be installed to suppon the bleacher frame at the masonry wall. In conjunction with this, seating in
the upper Iwo rows of the lower section would need to be reduced to 24 inch spacing in lieu of 18
inch spacing.
The estimated cost for this option is S25,000 to $30,000.
Option 2 — Reinforcement of Existing Connections
This option would nctually include four different items which are lister! below:
• Strengthen existing connections with welding
• Add a piece of wood under the foot boards to help distribute the load to both foot boards
• Revise connection of the steel channels at the masonry wall outside of the team rooms.
• Reduce the number of seats available by marking seats for one person every two feet instead of
Ivory V-6"
Drawbacks to this option are the seating capacity of the bleachers would also be reduced by about a
25 percent, i.e. instead of a capacity of 1300, the capacity would be 975. The seating would also
need to be monitored to make sure that spectators are sitting too close together.
The estimated cost for this option is 520,000 to $25,000.

. Hutchinson Civic Arena Structural Review of Bleacher System
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderllk & Associates
By1DP
January 18, 1999
Existing Conditions
We understand that the bleachers were installed when the ice arena was constructed in 1976. The
bleachers were originally installed in another arena and moved to the Hutchinson arena at that
time.
The bleachers are divided into two distinct sections. The lower section goes from the back aide of
the dasherboards to the outside wall of the team rooms. The upper section is supported on the
precast concrete mezzanine above the team rooms. The sections are situated close together and
appear as one continuous section of bleachers.
The bleachers have wood foot boards and wood seats that arc supported by steel brackets. The
brackets are attached to steel channels that span transverse to the bleacher seats. The channels are
supported by steel angles at approximately six feet on center. Longitudinal and transverse bracing
is provided by steel angles. Most of the connections between the steel members are bolted with
the exception of some of the bracing perpendicular to frames supporting the bleachers. All of the
steel members are painted black The steel members show no evidence of corrosion.
Structural Review
• Both the lower bleacher and upper bleacher sections were analyzed for the design loads specified
in Chapter 16 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code. The design loads are 100 pounds per square
foot to the overall bleacher system and 120 pounds per lineal foot of the bleacher seats and foot
boards.
The results of the anal I ere:
• The main steel support members for the bleachers are adequate to carry the design loads.
• The bolted connections between the steel members are not adequate to carry the design loads.
Some of the connections are stressed to over twice the allowable s0TM if the bolts.
• The cotutection of the bleachers to the concrete masonry wall outside of the team rooms is
not adequate to carry the design loads.
• The wood boards for the bleacher scats and the foot boards are not adequate to carry the
design loads and have an excessive amount of deflection under the design loads. While the
deflection of the boards does not pose a structural problem, it does cause an undesirable
sensation to the user.
Temporary Repair Options
Two temporary repair options were investigated. Each of the options are temporary in nature and
have some restrictions to the use of the facility.
E
Option 1 — Bracing Under the Seat Boards and Foot Boards
This option would entail installing wood posts and bracing under each of the wood seat boards
and foot boards. The posts would reduce the span of the seat boards and foot boards in half and
consequently make these elements much stiffer. The resulting allowable stresses in these

The addition of the posts and bracing would also significantly reduce the loads to the existing
main steel frames that support the bleachers. This reduction in loading would reduce the stresses
on bolted connections to be within the allowablc limits.

need to be installed to support the bleacher frame at the masonry wall. In conjunction with this,
seating in the upper two rows of the lower section would need to be reduced to 24 inch spacing in
lieu of 18 inch spacing.
The estimated cost for this option is $25,000 to $30,000.

ofevery 1'-6 ".
Drawbacks to this option are the seating capacity of the bleacbers would also be reduced by about
a 25 percent, i.e. instead of a capacity of 1300, the capacity would be 975. The seating would also
need to be monitored to make sure that spectators are sitting too close together.
The estimated cost for this option is $20,000 to 525,000.
Structural Review
• Both the lower bleacher and upper bleacher sections were analyzed for the design loads specified in Chapter
16 of the 1997 Uniform Duilding Code. The design loads 100 pounds per square foot to the overall bleacher
system and 120 pounds per lineal foot of the bleacher seats and foot boards.
The results of the analysis were:
• The train steel support members for the bleachers are adequate to carry the design loads
• The bolted connections between the steel members are not adequate to carry the design loads
• The connection of the bleachers to the concrete masonry wall outside of the team rooms is not adequate
to carry the design loads
• The wood boards for the bleacher seats and foot boards are not adequate to catty the design loads and
have an excessive amount of deflection under the design loads. If the foot boards were tied together to
act as one board instead of two individual boards, the allowable stress" would be within the allowable
stresses.

PRESS RELEASE
Hutchinson — January 20, 1999 — At the closed City Council meeting of January 19,
the Hutchinson City Attorney updated the City Council on a prior insurance claim that
was submitted to the League of Minnesota Cities.
Additionally, the City Council received a preliminary evaluation of the Hutchinson Civic
Arena bleachers by a structural engineer from the consulting firm of Bonestroo, Rosene
& Associates.
The recommendation of the structural engineer was to bring the existing bleachers up
to the 1997 Uniform Building Code or, in the alternative, to purchase new bleachers that
would meet current codes. The consultants informed the Council that a "detailed cost
estimate" on these two recommended alternatives could be ready by the first City
Council meeting in February.

The concept of a temporary upgrade of a portion of the bleachers for the remainder
of the skating season was evaluated and presented by the consultant; however, the short
term alternative was not recommended for reasons of cost, estimated at $25,000 to
$30,000, and the significantly reduced seating capacity. Additionally, the temporary
upgrade would not meet a longer term objective of meeting the many requirements of the
1997 Uniform Building Code.
The Council will consider taking action on the recommendations of the consulting
engineer at the regular Council meeting of January 26.

"She was down there for a long time," said Madisson's

The bleachers are equipped with removable metal guard railings.
However, at the time of Madisson's fall , the railings were
installed on the lower half of the bleachers but not the top halt.
Craig Stinson, BSU director of campus recreation, said he didn't
know why the guard railings were not in place.

Hutchinson closed down the bleachers; it is awaiting a report from

Meanwhile, a citizens group came together after the accident to

structures so that no one is injured in the future. The group will
survey municipalities to loam the style of bleachers in use and will
urge the use o nets to catch small children. They may seek funds
from the Legislature to help municipalities replace or renovate old
bleachers.
Some argue that this death was a freak accident, that the fault rests
with inattentive adults, that no place in the universe is without risk.

Hutchinson to play hockey at home again
with a fan limit
o cm From Staff Reports
4D Wb Hutchinson will begin allowing limited attendance, standing room
only, at its home hockey games stung tonight at 7. whoa Holy
Angels visits Hutchinson Civic Arena for a Missotet Conference
game.
The Tigers have not played a home game since 6- year -old
TObyLeedied before his brother's pee wee hockey game on Jan. 5.
He slipped between the bleachers, fell to the arena floor and later died
at a hospital. The bleachers now are roped off.
The Minnesota League of Cities and the city of Hutchinson both have
stated that there can be no more that 200 people m the arena,
including coaches and players. So Hutchinson is issuing 100 passes
per school.
We're doing that for the present time, until we hear that its OK to do
otherwise," Hutchinson athletic director Charlie MUM said.
"those passes include players and coaches, so I give them their
passes r>f st. The rest go two for each family so the parents an
attend."
Among those who will be left out for now — the Tigers have four
regular- season home games left — are Hutchinson's cheerleaders and
band. "I've talked to the band," Munz said, "and they've been fine
with it_ I think the cheerleaders are the most unhappy, but these are
dire times.
"I think everyone has been looking at their own arenas, wondering
where they stand," Munz said. "This is a wake -up call. I think the
important thing is that people make corrections to their own stadiums
so this doesn't happen again.

The Honorable Mayor Marlin Torgerson and
Members of the City Council
Hutchinson City Center
111 Hassan Street SE
Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Mayor Torgerson and City Council Members:
AN 9 i 1999
orry OF HUTCHINWN
The Board of Directors of Hutchinson Area Health Care (HAHC), as part of their regular meeting
on January 19, 1999, received a report from our City Attorney, Marc Sebora, regarding the Allina
Management Agreement. The following reflects the recommendation of the board regarding the
report.
"Allina Agreement Marc Sebora, City Attorney, reported on the discussions with
• Allina legal council regarding the Allina Management Agreement (attached). The
agreement has recently been modified by Allina to reflect changes that are necessary to
be consistent with their Compliance program and other hospital management agreements.
Sebora reported that consensus has been reached with the exception of the "arbitration"
clause. Sebora explained that he believed that HAHC should have the right to sue if there
was an issue that couldn't be resolved. The board determined that arbitration would be an
acceptable means to settle a dispute and that the 90 -day out clause was a sufficient
remedy.
Following discussion, motion was made by Chrissis, seconded by Erickson
to recommend to the City Council that the Allina Management Agreement be signed.
All were in favor. Motion passed."
Thank you, in advance, for consideration of this request. Don Erickson and Marc Sebora will be
able to answer questions you may have regarding this item at your meeting on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
CHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE

and by U.S. Mai!
Thank you for forwarding the Management Services Agreement to my attention for my review. I
have had an opportunity to review the document in daail and have the following concerns about the
agreement about which you may want to satisfy yourself prior to entering into the agreement.
Section 11- 1ndemni5cation; This section requires the local health system to pay the costs,
including attorney's fees, of Allina due to any claims brought against Allina for acts or
omissions of the local health system. This is significant because 1 envision that many times
actions will be taker[ or procedures instituted which may have arisen with Board action but
were dote so at the request o£ or with input from Mina. In other words, the local health
system potentially could be "on the hook" for fulfilling tUlina's wishes. As I mentioned to
you earlier. this is significant because it includes attorney's fees which can be a very
significant cost and, as mentioned, you would be responsible for paying Allina's attorney's
fees. Also, please recall that in Section 10 of the agreement the" health system is required
to have extensive bonding and insurance coverage for liability purposes.
•
2. Section 13 - Protective Covenant; In this section the local health system is required to pay
AOina $25,000.00 at such time that an Allina employee becomes a health system employee.
In addition, an Allina employee who becomes a health system employee may not work for the
health system for a period of one year after ceasing employment with Allina. While I'm sure
this section is intended to cover upper level administrators and physicians, the section is
written in such a way that conceivably any employee, (custodians, etc.) who for whatever
purposes change employment from Allina to the local health system could make the health

system liable for this $25,000.00 penalty and one year restriction. As I mentioned to you,
when these types of restrictions become part of an agreement the party having to suffer the
restriction should be given some additional oompensation for having to have the responsibility
of carrying this burden. Also it is interesting to note that the restrictive covenants in this
section are one -sided as they burden only the local health system whereas if the health system
employee should go to work with AfGna, A llina suffers no such penalty.
3. Section 19 - Arbitration; As I mentioned to you, this section requires the local health system
to give up its right to bring disputes arising out of this agreement to Court. Hennepin
County, where Allina is based, requires lawsuits to go through arbitration anyway so there
is a good chance that any claim brought by the local health system against Allina would go
to arbitration regardless of whether this section was in this agreement or not. I want to stress
to you that I fed it is a bad idea to give up the ability to go to Court to resolve disputes if
used be. Under the arbitration clause in this agreement, Allina can force the local health
system to go through binding arbitration which means you would be stuck with any decision
an arbitrator would make. Also, you have very little control over who the arbitrator(s) may
be and thus there is a strong likelihood that potential arbitrators could be biased in favor of
AIlina. I see nothing wrong with requiring a nonbinding arbitration or mediation as a •
preliminary step to resolving disputes, however, I would never recommend giving up the
option of going to Court if that step were necessary.
Other than these points the agreement seems to be pretty reasonable. If you have other questions or
concerns regarding this matter please let me know.
Sincerely,
ARNOLD, ANDERSON & DOW, PLLP

my agenda, and a letter I wrote to Majority Leader Trent Lott on
the Senate's Constitutional obligations and limitations regarding
the impeachment proceedings.
I value your

In light of recent speculation concerning the Senate's participation in an impeachment
proceeding, I would like to take the opportunity to voice my beliefs regarding our Constitutional
obligations and limitations.
It is crucial for us to proceed cautiously and with all due reverence for the Constitution, the
backbone of our government. This is why I am troubled by reports of a proposal to short-cut the
procedure with something similar to a summary judgment motion. I strongly believe we must
accept our responsibility to conduct the impeachment trial, followed by a vote to remove or
retain the President.
I am also concerned that a Senate court hearing an impeachment trial is not an appropriate forum
for deliberating a censure proposal. According to Article One, Section Three of the Constitution,
Judgement in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend farther than to removal,fronr Office. and
disqualification to hold and et jov any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States:
but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment. Trial, .Judgment
and Punishment, according to Lcm Censure is not our task --our job is to complete the
impeachment process and cast a vote either for or against conviction.
We have a duty to the Senate to abide by the Constitution. Furthermore, we have a duty to
President Clinton to provide him the due process to which he is entitled. I believe we must not
sacrifice process for politics on a matter of this importance.
Sincerely,
Rod Grams

A ROAD MAP TO PROSPERITY
As one year winds down and another stands ready
to take its place, it's a natural time to reflect on the
accomplishments — and disappointments — of the
previous year and look ahead to the promises of the next.
As its most significant achievement, the just- completed
105th Congress finally brought the nation's budget into
balance, a responsibility Washington had ignored for the
past 30 years. Without deficits to weigh them down,
America's working men and women have generated an
economic turnaround that will create a budget surplus of
more than $70 billion in 1998.
The disappointments came in the lack of tax relief
for America's over -taxed working families and a lack of
progress in pursuing a leaner, more efficient federal
government. The year culminated in the passage of a
mammoth spending bill I vehemently opposed that will
eat into the hard -won surplus and actually increase
Washington's power and presence in our lives.
That's the past, however. As we prepare to swear
in anew Congress on January 6, 1999, I'm proposing a
four -point agenda for the coming year that springs
directly from the people and offers a road map to
prosperity for every American.
RESTORING BUDGET PMGRM It's been
a priority of mine since I was first elected to Congress,
and I'll continue to work in the upcoming session to
restore integrity to the federal budget process. The rush
to spend that clouded the final days of this past
congressional session echoed similar disasters in 1995,
1996, and 1997; each time, the big spenders won and the
taxpayers lost out. Congress must reform the budget
process to complete its appropriations work on time and
avoid a repeat of this year s omnibus spending bill
disaster. Let's do that by making the switch to biennial
budgeting. Let's lock away future budget surpluses to
ensure Congress returns those dollars to the taxpayers as
tax relief, debt reduction, and Social Security reform.
And let's demand that Congress pass my "good
government" legislation that would eliminate the
possibility of future government shutdowns and
election -year gridlock.
CUTTING TAXES FOR WO KING
AMERICANS During the 106th Congress, I'll
continue my push to cut taxes and reform the tax system.
Minnesotans know they're overtaxed, and they're
demanding change. But without the big dollars and big
names of the special interests, taxpayers remain the most
underrepresented lobby in Washington. That's
something I'm committed to changing in 1999.
We vgU have a tax cut bill on the floor of the
Senate in the opening days of the 106' Congress to
reduce tax rates by eliminating the unfair marriage
penalty, cutting capital gains, and ending the death tax.
Congress must keep its pledge to the people to leave
more money in their paychecks — while funneling less
money to big government. Besides, a sizable tax cut
will maintain the health of our economy.
U SUR .RET M NTSECURITY Most
Minnesotans understand that the Social Security system
is facing bankruptcy, and unless we take action soon,
millions of Americans who are counting on the
government for their retirement security are at risk. In
the 106i Congress, I'll be taking a leadership role in
working to preserve Social Security for today's retirees
and unleashing future retirees from the choke hold of
government control.
When asked if they'd support a plan that would let
them opt out of Social Security and set up a personal
retirement account that would offer more security and
better benefits, 61 percent of Minnesotans answered
with an emphatic `yes!" Their support has prompted me
to introduce the Personal Security and Wealth in
Retirement Act" in Congress. My legislation will
provide retirement security for all Americans through
improved benefits and greater personal choice —
without eliminating the safety net or increasing taxes.
It's the best answer for resolving the coming crisis, and
I'll urge my colleagues to make my legislation a central
element of the debate ahead.
OVERSIGHT OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS I'll
continue to work to protect the taxpayers through better
oversight of federal programs and agencies. There's
nothing harder to kill or reform than a federal program
— even one that's outdated and no longer serves any
legitimate purpose. When Congress reformed the
nation's welfare laws in 1996, we proved that when we
go back and revisit legislation, we can improve service,
protect the taxpayers, and shrink the government. Every
spending program needs such scrutiny, a responsibility
Congress has too readily ignored in the past.
I've asked the Senate leadership to set up a system
by which all committee chairmen would hold oversight
hearings on every program in their jurisdiction, to give
Congress the information it needs to streamline the
government and make it work more effectively for the
taxpayers. We should also work toward sunsetting all
m
programs as a way of forcing oversight as progras face
reauthorization.
Of course, Congress must address other important
concerns during the next two years, such as education,
defense readiness, health care, crime, drug issues, and
bringing an end to unilateral sanctions that do little but
hurt our farmers and other businessmen and women.
Through these and other initiatives, it's my firm hope
the 106' Congress will achieve a legacy that promotes
individual achievement over servitude to Washington
and streamlined government over bloated bureaucracies
— and leaves more money in the pockets of the
taxpayers. That's a record of accomplishment of which
every Minnesotan could be proud.
