Regular Board of Directors Meeting - December 16, 1986
Large Conference Room - 4:30 PM
Present: Rev. Thor Skeie, President; Joan Ewald, Vice President;
Rolly Balke, Secretary; Bob Durfee, Trustee; Dori Johnson,
Trustee; Dr. Carl Bretzke, Chief of Staff
Absent: Mike Carls (due to conflicting City.. Council meeting)
Others Present: Philip G. Graves, Administrator; Willard H. Rosenow,
Assistant Administrator (retired); Frank Seivert, Director
of Finance; Jane Lien, Director of Nursing Services;
Cathy Nevanen, Hutchinson Leader; Laurie Hulkonen,
Recording Secretary
Prior to the regular meeting, the board took part in a review of the
budget proposed for the hospital's Fiscal Year 1987. Rosenow first
distributed and discussed operating statistics for 1985 -1987. He told
the board that little change is expected in admissions and patient
census days. Projected statistics were conservative because utilization
patterns of new physicians are unknown as yet. The board was also
informed that two new physicians will begin work at the Medical Center
in the summer of 1987 (Dr. Betsy Angermeyr and a male physician) after
completing their residencies this spring. The Medical Center will
continue its search for an OB /GYN specialist.
The hospital expects increases in Surgery due to increased outpatient
services in that area, including ENT and new orthopedic procedures
to be offered during the coming year. OB deliveries and ER services
are expected to remain much the same as the previous year. Laboratory
is expected to increase tests due to the recently- authorized purchase
of chemistry equipment. . Mammogram services through the Radiology
department are expected to increase, and further marketing of those
services will be forthcoming.
Pharmacy services are projected to increase with growing utilization
of oncology medication services. Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy
and Occupational Therapy are expected to remain about the same as the
previous year. It was noted that Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy
and Speech will be consolidated into one department, named Rehab, in
the near future. This will follow a pattern seen in many hospitals,
allowing patients to benefit from continuity of care between these
departments.
Mental Health is expected to remain much the same for the next year.
There is a possibility of adding an in -home family therapist position
• due to potential interest in increasing County contract services in
that area.

Graves reported to the board on his recent talk with Dr. P.V. Mehmel of
West Central Community Services Center ( WCCSC). Mehmel told Graves that
WCCSC had no interest in the McLeod County mental health services
contracts at this time. Both Mehmel and Graves will be meeting again
in the near future to discuss the possibility of both facilities sharing
a psychiatrist position half -time. The hospital's mental health staff
has expressed their desire to have both a psychiatrist and psychologist
on staff to facilitate patient care in the Unit.
The Maintenance /Ambulance department was briefly. discussed. Departmental
staff now have little time to do routine maintenance work at the hospital
due to increased ambulance runs. The hospital has budgeted for a
position of carpenter to work on maintenance and remodeling projects
planned for the facility during the next few years.
Rosenow also mentioned that outpatient services are expected to increase
in number by 2,000 in 1987, and the number of outpatient visits is expected
to increase by approximately 1,800.
Seivert then discussed proposed revenue and expense budgets for the
coming year. The hospital's projected revenue will be $6,156,860
(not including rate change considerations). Deductions (from Medicare,
Medical Assistance, Hill- Burton and write -offs) from revenue are expected
to increase by approximately $50,000. Non - operating revenue is
expected to be approximately $5,994,000, leaving the hospital with'a
deficit of $300,000 to make up before breaking even for the coming year.
The salary and FIE analysis was next presented. Nursing's changes
include redistribution of the Education Coordinator's hours as she
has assumed the new Director of Marketing and Education 'position,'
as well as increased hours for RN's and Nursing Assistants to better
handle one -day surgery duties. ICU /CCU, Labor & Delivery, and ER are
expected to remain the same. MHU has added another FTE for the new
in -home position. Pharmacy is expected to add 1/2 FIE (pharmacist) for
relief hours and additional workload; the other 1/2 of that position
would be contracted out to various facilities requiring pharmacy services.
Medical Records has added 1 FTE for the recently -added Quality Assurance
Coordinator position. Maintenance has added 1 FTE, also, as discussed
earlier in the review.
Seivert led the group through discussion of the revenue and expense
budgets. Changes in salaries, additions and deletions from budget
line items from previous years, and redistribution of line items from
one department to another were highlighted.
Skeie was called away from the review at this point.
Rosenow next distributed copies of the room rate comparisons between
1986 and proposed 1987 rates. The board discussed public perceptions
that room rates are an indication of general rate increases, but Graves .
stressed that they are only a portion of general rates. Chnages in
reimbursement of costs and a potential capping of rates by the federal
government was discussed. The hospital's general rate of increase
0

would be approximately 7%, with the proposed $25 room rate increase, which
should not be considered exorbitant by the public. The board agreed
that the increase would be necessary to make up part of the $300,000
deficit from expense over revenue projected for 1987.
Following dinner, the regular board meeting was called to order by
Vice President Ewald.
Minutes of Past Meetings. The minutes of November's regular board
meeting were presented. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Bretzke, seconded by Balke, to approve
the minutes of the November 18, 1986, regular board of
directors meeting as presented. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
Medical Staff Meeting Mintues. The minutes of the December medical
staff meetings were presented by Dr. Bretzke. No unusual comments
were made.
Old Business
A. Conference Room Remodeling. A capital expenditure request for
remodeling of the Large Conference Room was again presented and
tabled. As a maintenance /construction person is added to staff,
the project may be done in —house rather than contracted out. This
will be addressed at a later date.
B. Nurse Call System. Lien-presented an analysis of bids received for
the nurse call system. She noted that only one of the bidders
(Executone) met the specifications at the time of the bid opening.
Following discussion:
Motion was amde by Balke, seconded by Durfee, to
request approval from the City Council to purchase the
Executone nurse call system at a cost of $39,460.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
C. Financial Policy Approval. The policy was presented and discussed.
Graves indicated that there may need to be revisions of the policy
regarding joint venturing and profit margins. The board concensus
was to amend the policy to state not a specific percentage of
profit but, rather, that a profit margin be maintained. Following
discussion:
Motion was made by Johnson, seconded by Durfee, to adopt
the Financial Policy as amended. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
• Skeie rejoined the group at this time.

New Business
A. Disposal of Assets. The board next considered disposal of the
hospital's 1978 Plymouth station wagon and IBM 34 computer mainframe,
terminals and printer. After reviewing the disposal of assets policy,
it was determined that the policy would need to be modified to reflect
that this policy addresses disposal of capital items, as interpreted
by Administration. The policy will be amended and brought back to
the board at a future meeting. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Bretzke, seconded by Ewald, to authorize
the Administrator to dispose of the above - mentioned assets.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
B. Addressograph Cardwriter. A capital expenditure request for
purchase of a new cardwriter system for the Business Office was
presented. The present system of embossing patient cards is
outdated and in need of costly repair or replacement. With the
computer interface included with the proposed equipment, time will
be saved and accuracy will be increased. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, to request
approval from the City Council to purchase the computer -
interfaced cardwriter system.in the amount of $10,176.00.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
C. January Meeting Date. The board discussed changing the January
annual meeting date so as not to conflict with the annual Chamber
of Commerce meeting. Following discussion, the board concensus
was to hold the January meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 1987.
D. CEO Evaluation. The board considered the upcoming CEO annual
performance evaluation. President Skeie appointed Durfee and
Johnson to the Evaluation Committee, and the evaluation is
expected to take place prior to the January 21 annual meeting.
E. Other
1. Board Composition Task Force. Ewald requested that the board
again consider appointing a task force to study board composition,
as stated in the board's self - evaluation results from November's
meeting. Skeie asked board members to consider board
composition as a whole for discussion at the January meeting.
Recommendations for individuals to replace outgoing board
members will then be discussed at February's meeting
before making a recommendation to the Mayor.

(E.) 2. Room Rate Adjustment. Following discussion that took place
prior to the start of the meeting, the board again considered
making changes in room rates to reflect a change in allocation
of costs and not as a general increase to the public.
Following discussion:
Motion was made by Durfee, seconded by Ewald,
to increase both private and semi - private room
rates by $25 per day for 1987. All were in
favor. Motion carried.
Balke left the meeting at this point.
3. Budget Approval. The board further considered approval of
the proposed 1987 budget for the hospital. Following
discussion:
Motion was made by Durfee, seconded by Ewald,
to approve the proposed 1987 budget for Hutchinson
Community Hospital as presented. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
A copy of the approved budget will be distributed at the
January meeting.
Statistical Report. The statistical report was presented. Percentage
of occupancy was 42% for the month. Outpatient services have continued
to increase, perhaps due to the arrival of new physicians.
Accounts Payable. The accounts payable listing for November was
presented. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Bretzke, seconded by Durfee, to approve
the attached listing of cash disbursements and accounts
payable in the amount of $314,890.12. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
Financial Statements. The hospital had a net gain from operations, after
funding price level depreciation and working capital requirements, of
$72,000.

P.O. Box 623

Attn: Mayor Paul Ackland
Re: Hutchinson, Minnesota
Wastewater Treatment Facilities
J -M Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Response to January 16, 1987 Letter
Donohue Project No. 41880.000
Dear Mayor Ackland:
FES W7
R EM VED_ W
or _
12
The purpose of this letter is to answer directly the January 16,
1987 letter from J -M Manufacturing Company, Inc. and to generally
comment on the reports Donohue received regarding Mr. William
Nightingale's approval comments to the Common Council made on
January 27, 1987.
As you are aware, J -M Manufacturing Company, Inc. is recommending
that Donohue revise its technical specifications and allow a
bidding alternate for PVC pressure pipe in lieu of the specified
ductile iron pipe for the force main between the existing and new
plant site. With regard to the basic issue of whether or not PVC
pressure pipe is truly an "alternate" to the designed ductile
iron pipe, we offer the following information:
* At the present time, the American Water Works Associa-
tion (AWWA) has not developed standards for PVC pressure
pipe in diameters greater than 12 inch. Our understand-
ing is that AWWA standards committee has rejected set-
ting standards for this large diameter pipe three times.
* The pumping head caused by using a PVC plastic pipe
would not be less than the head caused by using ductile
iron since the plastic pipe has a smaller inside dia-
meter for the same nominal pipe size. However, the
plastic pipe would have a higher "C factor" and there-
fore, based on the manufacturer's theory, the capacity
is similar. However, the velocity of the fluid would be
higher due to the smaller pipe diameter.

* In Donohue's design philosophy, we have chosen the duc-
tile iron pipe based on our professional judgement that
long -term performance is a key factor in this applica-
tion. As you are aware, the entire volume of wastewater
generated in the City of Hutchinson for the next 40 or
50 years will need to traverse this force main. Any
failure of this force main will result in a devastating
environmental consequence to affected lands. In fact,
the concept of a "ductile iron" force main is founded in
the City's original environmental impact studies now
approved by MPCA and the USEPA.
* The large diameter PVC pressure pipe does not have a
long history of successful applications. The best in-
formation we have available states that this pipe in
larger diameters has not had more than three years of
successful operation.
* As designers of many various applications of PVC pres-
sure pipe, Donohue does routinely specify PVC pressure
pipe in smaller diameter situations. We have a mixture •
of results spanning three failures in the Town of Salem
Utility District No. 2 force main construction project,
to successful applications in many small diameter water -
main projects.
* Per USEPA regulations, the warranty allowed under grant
regs is limited to one year after final acceptance by
the City. After the one year, the City would be on its
own. Large diameter PVC pressure pipe does not have a
long -term track record to support the tremendous risks
associated with a line failure.
* In a similar installation of smaller diameter PVC pres-
sure pipe, major concerns arose regarding the tempera-
ture of installation of the pipe material. At one
point, we and the Owner were told that installing PVC
pressure pipe below 32 °F voided its warranty. However,
based on our diligence and field services performed on
the project, the warranty was held intact. However,
realizing that extra care is necessary in installing
this kind of pipe adds to its doubt as an acceptable
40 -50 year transport system for the entire waste flow of
Hutchinson.

In addition to our techn
creating an alternate, we
cusations made regarding
presently ongoing for the
information which we wish
cess continues:
Ccal reasons for rejecting the idea of
also wish to respond generally to sc-
our company and the bidding process
City. Below is a list of significant
the Council to be aware of as the pro-
* The existing bid documents do allow the successful, low
bid contractor to propose "substitutions" to specified
equipment and /or materials. The burden of proof on
equality rests with the contractor and if this large
diameter PVC pressure pipe evidence shows in the future
that some of our design concerns are in error, the con-
tractor has the ability under the existing contract
documents to propose a substitution and provide the City
with an appropriate credit based on the substitution of
an or equal material.
* The bid documents presently request competitive quota-
tions from contractors with the ability to completely
construct, obtain bonding for and warrant the successful
construction of the wastewater treatment works. The bid
documents are not set up to allow "prequalifications" of
various materials or supplies and the above referenced
"substitution" provisions allow the contractor, to have
an opportunity to address changes outside of the com-
petitive bidding process.
* Under USEPA rules and regulations, a supplier of mater-
ials is not held as a . "bidding contractor" and a sup-
plier is generally prohibited from impacting the pro-
curement process by USEPA.
The above list of items directly relate to the project plans and
specifications as set up for this project. We have also received
indications that Donohue as a firm has been alleged to have chal-
lenges as it relates to its design personnel in the area of the
civil discipline. For the record, it should be pointed out that
the following list of Donohue employees have been continuously
and actively involved in the Hutchinson project since being re-
tained in January of 1985:
1. Mike Hoff - Overall client liaison.
2. Tom Heney - Design project manager.
3. Ed Nevers - Lead process designer and lead project designer.
4. Don Roecker - MPCA /Grants liaison.

As heard in the council meeting of January 27, 1987, some of the
civil discipline staff from the Maple Grove of Donohue have left
the firm. However, the core design group and the design manage-
ment of Donohue has remained intact. Please be assured that
Donohue's interest is to provide Hutchinson with the most cost
effective and reliable wastewater transport and treatment system
available. In the past two years, Donohue is proud to have saved
the City more than two million dollars of local share cost based
on various planned modifications. However, the small initial
savings which might ensue from this major change, do carry with
it a significant liability in which we, as designers, will not
accept. The door remains open to J -M Manufacturing Company, Inc.
to work with the successful bidder through the contract documents
"substitution" procedures. In the absence of a receipt for re-
view under the "substitution" clause, Donohue will consider this
matter closed. Should you have any further questions, do not •
hesitate to contact any of those dedicated Donohue staff involved
with your project.

RE: CLASSIFICATION OF POLICE PART TIME
The classification of police part time dispatchers has been
reviewed due to the increased responsibility and technical
skill required in the dispatch office.
Full time dispatchers have been classified as Grade VII since
1915. It is felt that the part time dispatchers should be
moved up to Grade V. 'this would make a pay differential of
about $1 per hour between the two classifications.
Presently there are two individuals serving as part time
dispatchers, both of whom have worked in this capacity since
1980. Based on our usual practice, it is felt they should

MEMO °'o JaNT987
FROM: Burton L. Sundberg, Director
TO: All Governing Units of Pioneerland Library System BY zz
I have herewith enclosed an amended version of the Revised Agree 2 le

deletions or additions, which they wanted made before officially approving
the document. At its meeting on January 12, the Pioneerland Library Board
considered these proposals and moved to amend the Revised Agreement as
follows:
1. Page 3, just after "Part II ", in the paragraph beginning with, "A ten-
tative budget. . . ", change the wording so that the budget must be
approved by "75 percent of a quorum of the full board."
2. Page 3, under "Part II, in Paragraph a. ", clarify that the library
. board members are to come from "that jurisdiction ".
3. Page 3, "Paragraph 3.11, Change wording of treasurer's duties from "due
and strict ", to "complete and accurate ".
4. Page 5, Section IV, Part 1., change the word "participating" to
"participation ".
5. Page 6, Section V, eliminate the entire first paragraph where the
Agreement provided for "bringing action to compel compliance ".
If you have already approved the first draft previously sent to you,
and have sent the signature page to me, I won't need a second signature
page if you agree with the above changes. I will assume that it meets
with your- approval unless I hear from you stating that your initial
action is no longer valid.
If you have not alreadv approved the first draft, please consider only
this revised draft dated 1/12/87. I would appreciate your taking action
on this matter soon, and sending me your completed signature page. Please

e. The dollar amount to be provided by each participating city in a
county not providing public library service shall be determined annually by:

counties and the cities therein by the population of these counties and cities,
and (2) multiplying the resultant per capita amount by the population of each
city in a non - participating county.
5. Th
Eligibility for State and Federal Aid
a. e dollar amount provided. for operating purposes of public library
service by each participant shall be at least the minimum state requirement.
b. In addition to amounts required under section 4, each participa

against the regional library fund, may be collected and disbursed by the
regional library board at the exclusive direction of those library board
members representing the sources of those funds.
8. Regional Library Operating Expenses. All operating expenses of the
regional library board shall be proper charges against the operating and
maintenance of the library, including, but not being limited to, all salaries
and wages of personnel; purchases, repair, and replacement of library
materials; purchase, repair, and replacement of furniture, equipment, and
vehicles; and any other proper items of expense which are not excluded
herewith, and they shall be charged against, and paid out of, the fund.
Excluded are utilities (heat, water and electricity) in all library buildings
which shall be paid separately by the proper governmental unit or handled
according to paragraph 7 of this section. Cities must provide suitable quay s
for their branches. However, operational costs of branches and bookmobiles are
proper charges to the regional library fund. Also excluded are all
onstruction, remodeling, and repair costs of library buildings, as well as any
Sajor furnishing costs. The regional library board, however, may serve as an
advisory board for such improvements, and may also serve as the agency through
which state and federal funds may be secured. In the event that such funds are
made available, the regional library board may collect and disburse these funds
in agreement with the provisions of the grant.
a. Any and all disbursements from the regional library fund shall be by
"check- warrant" issued as hereinafter set forth, which check - warrant shall
become a negotiable instrument when signed by the treasurer and any two
officers of the regional library board hereinafter named.

disbursement of funds may be adopted by the regional library board by
resolution not inconsistent herewith.

governing bodies party to this agreement. The audit shall be done by an
independent firm chosen by the regional library board.

2. Assets
a. Each party shall retain title to all assets which it may have held
at the time of the effective date of this agreement, including all equipment or
real estate purchased as replacement, unless it be specifically determined at
the time of purchase of said items that such assets are jointly owned, and
acquired, after the combination of the said libraries. All other assets,

• r• • = W=IL AM CrfY ADMINISnWOR
a : PROPOSAL FOR JOB SW= AND •M XED HOLM
In view of my health concerns, not necessarily age, I an willing to consider
a switch in making assistant building official (James Marka) the chief building
official and myself the assistant.
After discussing it with the city administrator, I would also consider reducing
my hours to approximately 500 - 600 hours per year, if my hourly wage remained
the same.
I feel that the past 2 -plus years of working with James Marko has given him
the experience and myself the confidence that he can handle the chief building
official position. We have caught up on the work load, including closing
out certificates of occupancies from when we were short handed. We also have
been more efficient, especially now that Jim has knowledge of the cammunity
and the contractors and the various items we inspect, and the zoning.
This proposal would allow me to respond to my health concerns, allow Jim
to continue to receive some guidance on a limited basis, and save the
taxpayers sane money (wages, insurance, benefits, etc.).
My reduced hours would be worked in the busy season - April through September -
on a basis acceptable to the city administrator and council. I would see
these reduced hours could start as early as May, 1987.
If something cannot be worked out, I would grin and bear my health concerns,
until I would retire sometime farther in the future. I feel I can continue
to perform all aspects of the job, but offer this as a proposal, after
discussing it with the city administrator.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: FININACIAL IMPACT OF HOMER PITTMAN'S REQUEST
---------------------------------- ------- --------------- - - - ---
If the request by Homer is granted the effect on the budget
for 1987 would about equal out at the end of the year. This
assumes the wage adjustment were allowed to Jim Marka. Savings
from paid benefits would about equal this adjustment. 1987 wage
saving would not be significant because upon retirement vacation,
and pro rated sick pay would be paid to Homer. It is also
• estimated 400 hours of work would still be incurred in the latter
part of the year.
In 1988, based upon Jim Marka's current salary, the saving
would be $22,600. This is based upon the assumption in 1988 the
rate for Jim Marka would closely reflect Homer's current rate.
Also assumed is a estimated parttime salary of $6,000 would be
paid.

We have discussed Honer Pittman's proposal (attached) with both
Honer and Jim Marka.
If Jim Marka were to be named chief building official (Grade E), we
recommend he be placed at about Level 2 in that grade ($28,000) for a
six month probationary period, during which time he would take sore
additional training as outlined below. After successful ecxrpleticn
of the probationary period, he would be moved to Level 2 :Y4 ($28,745).
This Level 2 314 is his present placement in the pay grade (Grade G)
that he is now assigned to as assistant building inspector.
Both Homer and Jim feel that it will be beneficial to the city in
the future for the building official to receive additional training
in plumbing inspections, as it is anticipated the State will tighten
its requirements for building officials in this area in the next
few years. They propose that Jim take a 5-week evening course being
offered at Willmar vo-Tech during February and March (cost about $50)
and a 3-day seminar in the Twin Cities in April (cost about $80).
This would prepare him to take the plumbing section of the ICBO (International
Conference of Building Officials) test which is offered in Minnesota
once or twice a year. Passing of such a test indicates knowledge on
the level of a journeyman plumber.
It is our feeling that making a staff change in the manner outlined
above would effect a smooth transition for the city with the least
disruption of building department services. It would ensure the city
of continued knowledgeable application of the building code and
ordinances.

RE: Retirement
I contacted PERA relative to the policy change on annuities that will take
place on July 1, 1987. I was told that said change will result in a
decrease in my annuities, as well as for my wife. I have requested written
data on the effect this change will have on my annuity.
Based on the information I have to date, I feel it will be necessary to
retire sooner than expected. In addition, for personal family reasons, I
may find it necessary to consider a retirement date earlier than July 1st.
I expect that I will have all the necessary information in two weeks to
set the exact date.
I, therefore, recommend that my replacement be selected as soon as possible.

Marlow Priebe has anfornied me that the city should start advertising
to fill his position of city engineer.
Changes in the PERA "retirement benefit levels" are being made effective
July, 1, 1987. Employees retiring before that date (depending on the
selection of the survivorship benefit) will receive a higher benefit.
Based on this more recent information, the anticipated date of

Dear Gene:
Enclosed is a copy of the letter and billing I received from Big Bear relative
to moving a parking lot light.
At the time the common entrance was being proposed, I was not aware of the
need to move the light. In addition, I was not informed of the problem during
construction.
At this time, I do not know who ordered the work. Since it was not the City, •
and this is not one of the lights we were referring to on September 2nd, I
doubt that the City will pay the bill. Kindly check this out and let me know
what you can do about it.
Sincerely,

Dear Marlow:
On September 2, 1986 you hosted a meeting with interested
property owners and representatives of MN DOT relative to`the
potential for a service road adjacent to the Hwy. 7/22 safety
improvement project.
Part of our discussion that day involved your request
for common entrance at Sta. 1001+40. You asked for this
concession as a money saving feature in the design and as-
sured us that it would be at no cost to the property owners.
As a gesture of cooperation, and understanding that it was
at no cost to Big Bear, we approved the common entrances.
In the process, a parking lot light was also involved, and
now Big Bear is being billed by Quade Electric for $224.94
to move this light.
Since our conversation on Sept. 2 specifically covered
expenses incurred in moving light poles, I am sure you will
accept the obligation for the $224.94 and settle the account
with Quade Electric.

Dear Marlow:
After checking with surveyors and inspectors on the above referenced
project, I don't find that anyone ordered the light pole to be moved.
It was on private property but in the way of the new common entrance
and, therefore, it was moved.
The State has no obligation to pay for this move and as it was on
private property, we feel the responsibility is the property owners
or the City of Hutchinson.
If you have any further questions, please contact this office.

RE: Parking Lot Repair
Hutchinson National Guard Armory
Attached is a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Wayne Johnson relative to us
providing an estimate of cost repair for the parking lot.
At a meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bong last fall, he indicated
the Guard anticipated it would be a cost savings for the Guard to have the
work done by the City and then reimburse the City. This is true since the
City will have a Contractor making this type of improvement this year. We
could include the work as a separate section on a project for cost
accounting.
Unless you have any objections, we will proceed with examination of the
repair area and provide them with a cost estimate.

SUBJECT: Repairs to the Parking Lot at the Hutchinson National Guard Armory
City Engineer
Hutchinson City Hall
Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Sir:
The purpose of this correspondence is to request your assistance in making
repairs to the parking tot at the Hutchinson National Guard Armory. The repairs
to the parking lot will involve curb replacement and patching portions of the
bituminous surfaces.
Approximately thirty (30) feet of the curb in front of the Armory has
settled. We are requesting that the thirty feet of curb be removed, the area
leveled, and a new curb be poured. Portions of the bituminous surface on the
front parking lot have settled. This project would include cutting out those
portions, leveling and patching. This project is in preparation for an
overlayment of the entire parking lot in the near future. We are requesting an
estimate for the work as soon as possible.
The areas to be repaired will be identified by SSG Don Trnka, (612)
587 -2351, at the Hutchinson Armory. The project coordinator is LTC Thomas Bong,
(612) 632 -6631, Ext. 444, at Camp Ripley.

RE: Residential Alley Improvement
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I have been contacted relative to the surface and drainage problems in the
alley South of Fifth Ave. S.E. between Adams Street and Jefferson Street.
The alley presently has a gravel surface. The party would like the City
to consider a permanent type surface.
To date, the only alleys that have been improved with a permanent type
surface are the ones in the Central Business District and they were done in
1967.
I would recommend that a policy for the improvement of alleys be established
in the near future. This policy should include type of surface to be
installed, as well as assessment.
The alley in question could then be included in the 1988 improvement program.

RE: Shady Ridge Road
116iWil-lur
I have been contacted by a property owner on the section of Shady Ridge Road
that has been improved, requesting that the City do more than gravel the pot
hole section by Crow River Press.
I expect that the undeveloped area north of Crow River Press will be platted
in 1987. The area along Shady Ridge Road will be developed and the westerly
portion will be developed in 1988 and 1989. Before the westerly portion can .
develop, the storm sewer proposed this year will have to be built. The
storm sewer and street improvement can be scheduled for 1988, since the
platting will provide the right -of -way the City does not have at the present
time.
Any additional maintenance work, as requested, that would be done in this
area would only need to be,seivicable for a year.

MEETING WITH DOT REVIEW APPRAISER - MR. LEEBERG
On Thursday, January 22, 1987 the Mayor and I met with the "review" appraiser on the
airport appraisals. Mr. Leeberg stated he may consider a request from the City Council
if the Council would desire a "second opinion" on the appraisals; especially the commer-
cial sales that were utilized in the report. Mr. Leeberg would see if he could get a
cost estimate for the Council.
•SELECTION OF ATTORNEY GARY GANDRUD
The Council authorized me to select and secure an attorney for the Police Civil Service
Commission from the listing of three names shown in my last newsletter. The attorney from
Mankato had no experience in a "hearing process" before a Civil Service Commission.
Based on availability, comparable cost, no known "conflicts of interest," and especially
experience, I secured the services of Gary Gandrud. Attorney Gandrud has been the city
attorney of Bloomington for 10 years and is city attorney of White Bear Lake. He has ex-
perience in civil service "hearings." The cost will be $80 /hour plus travel expense.
His address and telephone number is as follows:
Attorney Gary L. Gandrud
Faegre & Benson

LEADER GOES TO COURT TO OBTAIN "CHARGES"
Last week the Hutchinson Leader took the City to court to obtain the "charges" brought by
the City Council against the police chief. As of today, I have not heard of any decision.
CONSIDERATION OF "PLASTIC PIPE" ON FORCEMAIN
J -M Manufacturing (California) has objected to the specifications on the forcemain, not
allowing plastic pipe. Randy DeVries has been checking some of the company's installa-
tions) cited in the correspondence sent to the Mayor. Randy reports the plastic cited
for three communities was water main installations and not sewer mains.
In the meantime, I have requested a written analysis /opinion from Mr. Ed Nevers of Dono-
hue & Associates for the Mayor and Council.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON
37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350
December 19, 1985
Mayor Paul Ackland and the
Hutchinson City Council
RE: Refund of Parkview Plaza 18 Industrial Development Bond
Deposit
Dear Mayor Ackland:
I have been asked to comment on the propriety of the
city of Hutchinson's retaining possession of the deposit made
by Frank Fay to secure availability of industrial revenue
funds for the Parkview Plaza Project. As you are aware, this
• deposit constituted one percent of the total estimated
requested industrial revenue bond allocations. When the
project was abandoned the city of Hutchinson requested refund
of the one percent deposit and such refund has at this time
been made. Mr. Fay now requests refund to him of these
monies.
The city seeks to offset from any potential refund
certain expenses incurred in the preparation, application and
issuance of Industrial Development Bonds and Tax Increment
Financing Bonds.
on the 25th day of June, 1985 Frank J. Fay and Curtis
E. Burckhardt executed a document designated as "Contract for
Sale of Land for Private Development in Development District
Number Four." Paragraph 4.07 of that document provides "The
developer hereby agrees to pay directly to the city upon
demand, whether or not the bonds are issued, either in cash or
by certified check, any and all administrative expenses
relating to this project as part of the Development Program,
including, but not be limited to, all costs of issuance of the
bond, including fees of bond counsel, counsel to the city, the
fiscal agent and any other consultants retained by the city in
connection with the implementation and administration of the
Development District and the Development Program, with respect
to the Property, to the extent that such costs are not
reimbursed to the City from the proceeds of the bonds or from
r- Q.
Mayor Paul Ackland
December 19, 1985
Page Two
Tax Increments or may not be so reimbursed by reason of the
application of Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.75, Subdivision
3." By the signing of that document Mr. Fay and
Mr. Burckhardt agree to pay certain administrative expenses.
These administrative expenses have been computed and presented
to Mr. Fay for payment. To the extent that these expenses
deal with the issuance of Tax Increment Bonds the developers
through the previously mentioned contract have agreed to
assume responsibility for payment of these expenses.
In addition to the expenses associated with the
issuance of Tax Increment Bonds previously discussed Mr. Fay
also requested issuance of Industrial Development Bonds to
assist in the financing of the Parkview Plaza Project. The
city of Hutchinson has adopted Resolution 7801 entitled
"Resolution Amending Resolution Number 6342 For Establishing
Guidelines For Industrial And Commercial Development Revenue
Financing.' This Resolution provides "Bond attorney fees,
city attorney fees, city's financial consultant and city
auditor review fees are the additional financial •
responsibilities of the client /applicant." In the application
for industrial development revenue financing made to the city
of Hutchinson the applicant specifically acknowledges
responsibility for these fees. In the resolution giving
preliminary approval to the Industrial Development Revenue
Financing Project for the Parkview Plaza project at section
3.2 it is stated "The borrower has agreed and it is hereby
determined that any and all direct and indirect costs incurred
by this Municipality in connection with the project, whether
or not the project is carried to completion, and whether or
not approved by the Minnesota Energy and Economic Development
Authority, and whether or not the Municipality by resolution
authorizes the issuance of the bonds, will be paid by the
borrower upon request." It is my understanding that these
costs have been computed and submitted to Mr. Fay.
I believe that Mr. Fay is clearly obligated to pay for
the cost associated with both the Tax Increment Bonds and the
Industrial Development Bonds. A convenience method of payment
would be to disburse to the various parties funds from the
$5,000 allotment deposit.. If there were monies remaining
after payment of all the associated costs, the balance could
be refunded directly to Mr. Fay. If the costs exceeded the
$5,000 amount retained,. Mr. Fay would be responsible for the
balance. AEk
Mayor Paul Ackland

It should be noted that there appears to be no
specific statutory basis for Withholding the deposit.
Nevertheless, I believe that if Mr. Pay were to initiate an
action seeking to recover the deposit the city would be
entitled to claim an offset for the costs incurred in the
r} various projects. This would be done through the use of a
crossclaim as authorized by the Minnesota Rules of Civil
Procedure.
Sincerely yours,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON
