Engineer Priebe commented on the reasons for staff's denial of the request. Mr. Romo explained that at the time the house was built for the lot as is the case in most instances. The Planning Commission does need to follow the ordinance in effect at the present time. Mr. Romo made a motion to close the hearing and recommend denial due to the fact there is no hardship or unique circumstance. Seconded by Mrs. Young the motion carried unanimously.

We have pur- chased necessary permits for all work done and have followed all building codes. We are happy with the results of our hard work, but feel our neighbors' lot is diminishing our efforts. The property in question is 647 Oak Street. Is there anything you as a council can do to help us clean up the following "neighbor" problem? Beca,zse of our narrow lot the house was built lengthwise • into the lot. The living room is on the southwest corner of the house. Thru the west picture window of the living room lies the alley and the neighbor's garage along with its' pile of junk. There is also junk piled along the south side of the neighbor's garage. The junk pile contains many old television sets, old tires, broken bicycles, odd car parts, and unrecognizable scrap parts. The pile is approximately five feet high by ten to fifteen feet in diameter. The neighbors. also keep their household trash next to the junk pile and not all of it ends up in the trash cans. We believe the pile to be a hazard to the neighbor as well as ourselves. Specific concerns are as follows: 1. the old television sets If a picture tube is broken are there harmful chemicals inside, such as mercury or other harmful chemicals? If the television sets are older models, could there be F.C.B. capacitors that would crack because of heat or cold and leak? 2. the tires The tires are a fire hazard and breeding ground for moscuitoes in the summer as they fill with water from rain. 3. The pile surrounds a home-made smoke house (a converted • refridgerator). We are concerned about a possible fire starting from the smoke house that would ignite the television sets and in turn start the garage on fire. A fire of this size could damage the trees along our west lot line and threaten our home. Beyond the pile of junk are the cars, trucks, and boats to • which you can see at least four to six vehicles parked on the yard and city street at any time. One old truck has not had license tabs on it since the late 1970's and it has been parked on the street. We believe there is a city ordinance regarding parking on the street through the night during winter. Certainly the police must drive past at sometime, but there has never been a ticket is- sued and the vehicles are.still parked there. Because of the number of cars parked along College Avenue to the west side of the alley entrance and because they are parked so close to the entrance, it is impossible to see oncoming traffic from the west when attempting to drive onto College Avenue. This is extremely dangerous for the vehicle drivers. There also are small children in the neighborhood who could easily run into the street and the driver would not see them fast enough to stop safely. The neighbor has a semi -truck from his business which he drives down the alley loaded with old cars. We do not believe the alley is constructed for such a heavy vehicle. There is a storm sewer pipe that runs underneath the alley and could be broken from the weight. The entrance to the alley is blocked to our use many times day or night because the neighbors and their friends use it as a • parking lot. This is frustrating and inconvenient when we want to enter our own garage. Lastly; the alley is blackened from used motor oil because cars have been worked on in the alley. This oil will eventually soak thru the soil to the water table. In summary, we pay our taxes. We have improved the value of our home during the two years we've been living here. We have helped the local economy of Hutchinson by hiring local contractors to do the work, which brings money to the city. Improving the value of our home helps city growth by attracting other people to the city. We are quiet neighbors. We believe in individual rights, but believe the neighbors are beginning to interfere with our rights and happiness. Thank you for your time. We hope something can be done to correct this situation with your help. Sincerely, 4 :;ayne and Vicki Nielson Enclosures ENERGY CONSERVATION -LOAN ASSISTANCE The City of Hutchinson has made available certain funds for low-interest, energy conservation loans on existing building from its Revolving Loan Fund.

The question was referred to this office for further consideration. Reference to two sources must be made to appropriately answer the inquiry. The City of Hutchinson maintains certain Police Civil Service Commission Rules and Regulations which were last updated in August, 1985. Section 17 of those Rules and Regulations sets out the following: "Compensation for any employee in the Department shall be in accordance with the provisions of the pay classification plan established by the City Council. The Commission may discuss wages, hours and benefits with the Department employees and may submit a written statement to them and the City Council." However, an answer to your question cannot rest solely with the Rules and Regulations of the Commission since it is ultimately Chapter 419 of Minnesota Statutes which will control the rights and respon- sibilities of Police Civil Service Commissions. That statute sets out certain specific duties delegated to the Commission in 9419.05. In part, that statute provides "the Commission shall have the absolute control and supervision over the employment, promotion, discharge and suspension of all officers and employees of the Police Department of such City and these powers shall extend to and include all members of the Police Department..." Not specifically enumerated among the responsibilities of the Commission is the duty to establish compensation levels. In fact, the Attorney General has Mr. Gary D. Plotz • January 19, 1987 Page #2 issued an opinion which specifically notes that the fixing of compensation is within the general power of the Village Council. Opp. Atty. Gen. 469-B, May 4, 1951. Since the statute does not affirmatively mandate the handling of compensation matters by the Police Commission and since the Police Commission Rules and Regulations specify that such decisions should be made by the City Council, the City Council would have the authority and responsibility to determine compensation levels for department members. I trust this is the information you require. do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Best personal regards.

The purpose of our meeting was to coordinate with Mr. Junker our current and on •going leaf composting project. After meeting with him and discussing our particular project we came to an agreement where by our project could be made more efficent. In review: In September of 1986 the Hutchinson City Council approved the use of city owned land for the purpose of stockpiling leaves and grass for the production of compost. It was also approved to use city equipment and personnel to turn and further monitor the stockpile of leaves once they were collected.and that they would maintain that monitoring in years to come. This, the stockpiling, composting, of leaves is just one way the City is contributing to the counties effort to prolong the life of our county landfill. We, the members of the Hutchinson Solid Waste Committee, hereby recommend the City Council take the following steps to improve the communities effort to prolong the life of our county sanitary landfill. 1. Adopt a mandatory policy whereby all leaves and grass material be seperated from daily garbage and once seperated be placed on the curb for pickup by Junker Sanitation during their regularly schedule residential garbage pickup. This would require a review of Junker Sanitations current contract with the City. 2. In order to eliminate the necessity of debagging leaves and grass once collected, the city require the use of biodegradable bags for • use as leaf and grass containers. In cooporation with the Cities effort to reduce landfill dependancy, Junker Sanitation at Stillwater will provide a separate truck for leaf and grass pickup, above and beyond his regular fleet of trucks. • If the City Council does not wish to utilize Junker Sanitation's additional truck, the Waste Management Committee recommends the use of city vehicles and personnel to coordinate a mutually agreeable pickup time with city schedules and citizen demand. May the council be reminded that many communities within Minnesota presently have such mandatory conservation policies working within their Cities. Be it also known that within a not to distant future such conservation practices will became mandatory by decree of State Pollution regulations. The efforts our community takes today does nothing but prolong our quality of life for years to come. CC: Hutchinson Solid Waste Mgnt. Comm.

In connection with that project 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 that Mr. Fay and Mr. Burckhardt, as Parkview Plaza Limited Partnership shall pay directly to the city upon demand 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 program. In addition to the Tax Increment se"s issued, Parkview Plaza Limited Partnership also sought the issuance of certain Industrial Revenue Bonds. As part of the request for issuance of those bonds, a It deposit was made by Mr. Fay and Mr. Burckhardt to the state of Minnesota through the city. When the project was abandoned the city of Hutchinson requested refund of the 1% deposit and such refund was made to the municipality. In December of 1985 Mr. Fay sought refund to him of these monies. I prepared an opinion directed to Mayor Ackland on December 19, 1985. This opinion dealt with the necessity for the city to refund to Mr. Fay the $5,000 refund currently in its possession. I stated in that opinion that "Mr. Fay is clearly obligated to pay for the cost associated with both the Tax Increment Bonds and the • Industrial Development Bonds. A convenient method of payment would be to disburse to the various parties funds from the q- m. Barry Anderson January 22, 1987 Page Two $5,000 allotment deposit." I further stated, "It should be noted that there appears to be no specific statutory basis for withholding the deposit." I an enclosing a copy d my letter of December 19, 1985 for your files. On January 15, 1986 I forwarded to Mr. Fay a billing for services iNmdered in connection with the issuance of the tax increscent bonds. This billing was made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4.07 previously mentioned. On February 13, 1986 Mr. Fay responded and suggested that I submit my statement to Ow city of Hutchinson for collection from the $5,000 being withheld by the city. On February 25th of 1986 I again contacted Mr. Fay and indicated that I would proceed with billing and payment to ' the city and that if he contested the city's payseat of costs from the $5,000 retained, he should notify me. I received no response from Mr. Fay and verifiel that he had no objections by letter dated March 17, 1986. In October of 1%6 I again contacted Mr. Fay and he again indicated that the billing • should be sent to the municipality for payment from the $5,000 withheld by the city. On November 10th of 1986 I submitted my billing to the municipality. As of this date, no payment has been made. I have contacted both Mr. Burckhardt and Mr. Fay and they are willing to sign a release authorizing payment of my billing from the withheld funds. I would request that the municipality consider authorizing payment out of the withheld funds at the last council meeting in January. If payment is not made from these funds on a voluntary basis, I believe that I will be forced to initiate an action against ■r. Fay, Mr. Burckhardt and the municipality in order to determine the appropriate source of payment. I would appreciate your input into this matter. Sincerely yours, SCHAEFER LAW OFFICE By/ James H.

The Petition in question was signed by Newell Weed for Retirement Living Communities, Inc. and other owners and by another individual as a representative of a limited partnership. It is my opinion that the Petition does not comply with the requirements of Chapter 429. Absent a power of attorney, Mr. Weed is not in a position to sign for other owners of the Retirement Living Community. Further, there is insufficient information on the Petition to determine whether or not the person signing in blank number one has the authority to bind the limited partnership. The limited partnership has attempted to restrict its exposure to $500 and this is probably also unacceptable since it will leave the City with the expense for the installation of the improvement which exceeds the limited partnership's limitation of $500. I trust this answers your question. If you have additional problems or concerns in this area, you certainly should contact me. Thank you.

Plotz Clayton L. LeFevere City Administrator Herbert P. Lefler City of Hutchinson FOR YOUR INFORMATION.N, J. Dennis O'Brien 37 Washington Avenue West John E. DrawzHutchinson, MN 55350 David J. Kennedy John B. Dean Glenn E. Purdue Dear Mr. Plotz: Richard J. Schieffer Charles L. LeFevere Herbert P. Lefler III On Tuesday, December 16, 1986, a public meeting of the James J. Thomson, Jr. Hutchinson police civil service commission was held to Thomas laalt discuss matters involving Police Chief O'Borsky. The Dayle Brien F. Rice city council was invited to attend the meeting and at John G. Kressel least three members did so. The city council has asked Lo vres.trommen mg M. Strwhether this meeting is subject to the requirements of dd H. Batty the Minnesota open meeting law and whether it constituted William P. Jordan a meeting of the city council because of the presence of Kurt J. Erickson William R. Skallerud a quorum of the council. Based on a review of relevant Rodney D. Anderson statutes and case law, our opinion regarding these Corrine A. Heine matters is as follows. David D. Beaudoin Paul E. Rasmussen Steven M. Tallen There can be no doubt that the subject meeting of the police civil service commission was governed by the state's open meeting law, Minn. Stat. Section 471.705. The statute applies to "all meetings .. of the governing body of any . city ... and of any committee, subcommittee, board, department or commission thereof ". Although, there are exceptions to the open meeting law, none appear relevant with regard to this meeting. Accordingly, the meeting of December 16, 1986, was subject to requirements of reasonable prior notice and being open to the public. The second question raised by the city council may be answered in a similar unambiguous manner. Since the meeting of the civil service commission was subject to the open meeting law, it is unnecessary to look for other independent reasons for the meeting to be open to the public. Simply stated, the meeting was subject to the open meeting law regardless of whether any members of another public body, including the city council, were in attendance. Mr. Gary Plotz Page 2 January 9, 1987 Mere attendance at the meeting by a quorum of the city council is not sufficient, in our opinion, to convert it into a city council meeting. This is the case because none of the characteristics of a city council meeting were present. It was clearly not a regularly scheduled meeting of the city council. If it were a special meeting, it would have to have been called by the mayor or three members of the council. That did not occur. Neither the mayor nor any other member of the city council presided at the meeting nor were the council members present acting as a body in any respect normally associated with a meeting of the city council. Presum- ably, no such actions occurred because no member of the city council, either prior to or during the civil service commission meeting, considered there to be a meeting of the city council being held jointly or simultaneously with the other meeting. Therefore, it is our opinion that on December 16, 1986, there was no meeting of the city council at the time of the police civil service commission meeting. Accordingly, while the meeting was subject to the open meeting law because it was a meeting of a city commission, it was not a meeting of the city council requiring notice by the city council or any of • the other procedural matters associated with such a meeting. It should be noted that the lack of notice or any role by a member of the council in presiding would not have exempted the meeting from the open meeting law under different circumstances. Even had the meeting been called by a private body whose meetings are not subject to the open meeting law, the attendance by a quorum of the city council for the purpose of discussing or even receiving information as a group relevant to official city business would have required the meeting to be open to the public. Sincerely, Ronald H. Batty RHB:rsr U l � MINUTES / HUTCHINSON CHARTER COMMISSIOIf Wednesday, January 7, 1987 1� 1.

PRESENTATION BY UTILITIES COMMISSION Chairman Carlson introduced the Utilities Commission and asked for their • interpretation of Chapter 11 in the Hutchinson City Charter. Mr. Daggett discussed the bond situation that had recently come up and with that introduced the Utilities Attorney Richard Peterson sighting his legal knowledge according to State Statute. Mr. Peterson commented on Chapter 11 stating that he would like to see Section 11.04 left as is in the present charter on Powers of the Commission. Dr. Lyke commented on reasons the Commission have for leaving it as is, a three member commission serving 6 year terms. He stated that the philosiphy of the Commission is to "deliver energy at lowest possible cost" which may not continue if the commission would be made larger. Discussion followed. Chapter 11 was discussed by the Charter Commission as follows: Section 11.03 - It was suggested to omit the last line of this section. Section 11.05 - There was a question on the sentence that was added. Section 11.08 - Attorney Peterson was asked to draft the wording for this section. Section 11.09 - The title should be changed from Calendar Year to Fiscal Year. is 4. DISCUSSION OF REVISED CHAPTERS 5 AND 7 It was the consensus of the Charter Commission to leave chapters 5 and 7 as revised: -I CHAPTERS Initiative, Referendum, and Recall Section S.01. GENERAL TOTER AUiUORITT. The voters of the city shall have the right, in accordance with this charter, to propose ordinances, to require ordinances to be submitted to a vote, and to recall elected public officials by processes known respectively as the initiative, referendum and recall. Section 5.02. PETITIONS. An initiative, referendum or recall, shall be initiated by a petition signed by registered voters of the city equal in number to 20 percent of those who voted for mayor in the last preceding city election. Each petition shall be sponsored by a committee of five voters whose names and addresses shall appear on the petition. A petition may consist of one or more papers, but each paper circulated separately shall contain at its head or attached to it the statement required by Sections 5.06, 5.07 or 5.08, as the case may be. Each signer shall sign his name and give his street address. Each separate page of the petition shall have appended to it a certificate, verified by oath, that each signature is the genuine signature of the person whose name it purports to be. The person making the certificate shall be a resident of the city. Any person whose name appears on a petition may with- draw his name by a statement in writing filed with the city administator before the city administator advises the council of the sufficiency of the petition. Section 5.03. DETERMINATION OF SUFFICIENCT. Immediately upon receipt of the petition, the city administrator shall examine the petition as to its sufficiency and report to the council within 20 days. Upon receiving the report, the council shall determine by resolution the sufficiency of the petition. Section 5.04. FURTHER REGULATIONS. The council may provide by ordinance such further regulations for the initiative, referendum, and recall, not inconsistent with this charter, as it deems necessary. Section 5.05. DISPOSITION OF INSUFFICIENT PETITION. If the council determines that the petition is insufficient or irregular, the city administrator shall deliver a copy of the petition, together with a written statement of its defects, to the sponsoring committee. The commit- tee shell have 30 days in which to file additiona signature papers and to correct the petition I all other particulars. If at the end of that period the council finds that the petition is stili Insufficient or irregular, the city adminis- trator shall file the petition in his office and notify the sponsoring committee. The final finding that the petition is insufficient or irregular shall not prejudice the filing of a new petition for the same purpose nor sha11 it prevent the council from referring the ordinance to the voters at the next regular or special election at its option. Section SAG. INITIATIVE. Any ordinance, except an ordinance relating to the budget or capital program, the appropriation of money, the levy of taxes, or the salaries of city officers or employees, may be proposed by a petition which shall state at the head of each page or attached thereto the exact text of the proposed ordinance. If the council passes the proposed ordinance with amendments and a 4/5 majority of the sponsoring committee do not disapprove the amended form by a statement filed with the city administrator within 10 days of its passage by the council, th ordinance need not be submitted to the voters. I the council fails to enact the ordinance in a acceptable form within 60 days after the final determination of sufficiency of the petition, the ordinance shall be placed on the ballot at the next election occurring to the city. If no elec- tion is to occur within 120 days after the filing of the petition, the council shall call a special election on the ordinance to be held within such period. If a majority of those voting on the ordinance vote in its favor, it shall become effective 30 days after adoption unless the ordinance specifies a later effective date. Section 5.07. REFERENDUM. Any ordinance subject to the initiative may be subjected to referendum by a petition which shall state, at the head of each page or on an attached paper, a description of the ordinance. Any ordinance upon which a petition is filed, other than an emergency ordinance, shall be suspended in its operation as soon as the petition is found sufficient. If the ordinance is not thereafter entirely repe-led, it shall be placed on the ballot at the next election or at a special election called for that purpose, as the council determines. If a majority of the le voters voting thereon favors the ordinance, it shall go into effect immediately or on the date specified in the ordinance, if a majority of the • electors voting thereon votes against the ordinance, it shall be considered repealed upon certification of the election results. If a peti- tion is filed against an emergency ordinace, the ordinance shall remain in effect but sha11 be repealed if a majority of the voters voting on the ordinance vote against. section 5.08 RECALL ELECTION. If the petition or amended petition is found sufficient, the city administrator shall transmit it to the council without delay, and shall also officially notify the person sought to be recalled of the sufficiency of the petition and of the pending action. The council shall at its next meeting, by resolution, provide for the holding of a special recall election not less than 30 nor more than 45 days after such meeting, but if any other election is to occur within 60 days after such meeting, the council may to its discretion provide for the holding of the recall election at that time. • • Chapter 7 Taxation and Finances Section 7.01.

Section 7.04. SUBMISSION OF BUDGET. Annually the city administrator shall submit to the council his recommended budget in accordance with a budget calendar to be established by ordinance or, in the absence of ordinance, by September 1. The budget shall provide a complete financial plan for all city funds and activities for the ensuing fiscal year and, except as required by law or charter, shall be in such form as the city administrator deems desirable or the council may require.

Section 7.08. ALTERATIONS IN THE BUDGET. After the budget resolution has been adopted, the council shall not increase the amounts fixed in the resolution beyond the estimated receipts except to the extent that actual receipts exceed the estimate.

Doug agreed to send each member a schedule of audits when ready as some members expressed an interest to go along with the audit walk-thru. The Hutchinson Leader will also be notified of the audit schedules so they may provide coverage. Hutchinson Util- ities is gathering consumption data for each audit in advance. It was announced that the Hutchinson Energy Conservation revolving loan fund decision was deferred at the last City Council meeting. There apparently wasn't anybody there to represent the issue. Butch offered to make sure some H.C.D.C. members are present at the next city council �J meeting. Copies of the loan fund information/application packet were distributed to C.E.C. members. Some back pages were omitted so they will be redistributed later. Doug mentioned the article on the energy program written by the Hutch- inson Leader as a good start to marketing the program. In the last month Doug made contact with and visited all six D.E.E.D. demonstration audit sites. He is putting together a slide presentation for the work- shops to be scheduled later. Another project is to produce a checkoff list format for the Phase I audit. Doug requested the council fund $65.00 for a lighting workshop with grant money available. Mileage to attend the workshop was also request- ed but questioned by some members. Glen motioned to talk with Gary Plotz before allowing travel expense. Butch agreed to the training expense allowance and seconded Glenn's motion. The grant proposal allows $700.00 from D.E.E.D. to be used for in-state travel and training expense. There is presently $450.00 remaining for this purpose. Tom Helgeson (MN D.E.E.D.) sent us some informational materials which are available from the state. Doug will keep in stock and have those materials available at the Utilities' office. _06Glen requested to have the city provide monthly financial reports on the programs budget including a total of hours spent. Doug agreed to notify the city. 47 Minutes and Meeting Notice (Cont.) Doug will send a letter to Tom Helgeson (MN D.E.E.D) to remind him of the city's interest in the next round of state grants. The meeting adjourned a little after 8:00 p.m. MEETING NOTICE The Hutchinson Community Energy Council will meet on Tuesday, February 17, 1987, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.

Then the question was formu- lated- is it possible for Litch- field to have an outdoor muni- cipal pool? After much discussion and the start of research into an answer to the question by a �andful of people, a public ��innterest meeting was convened Tuesday night at the council chambers in city hall. Of the 30 or so people at the meeting Tuesday night, all seemed to be in support of >• seeking more information and n coutinumg research concern - is ing the construction of a pool T here. All were frustrated with !y the perennial poor water !s quality of the town's municipal beach. in One woman m attendance or noted that she often takes her 10 eliften to Lake Maneells to at swim because of the lake's V. clean water. However, she was m concerned at how long the water quality there wadd be maintained with increased usage. Other members of the group voiced concern at a lack of life- guards at the Manuella Park 87 beach. 4 It was noted at the meeting, 5 that although the county has ed decided, in cooperation with ow the Department of Natural Re- * sources. to add to the Man- uella beach area and to add a boat landing there, there is no money allocated for lifeguard coverage of the area. Sue Fenton, one of the or- ganizers of the pool effort, noted that she has been asked why the group isn't spending its time and energy on clean- ing up Lake Ripley instead of working for a municipal pool. "There is no one who would like to see Lake Ripley cleaned up more than I would. But there is no quick fix to cleaning the lake. It could take five to ten years to do .that and funding would be difficult to get," she noted. f°We. dolt want to forget about Lake Ripley," site add- ed, "we Just want this In addithm to IL" Although no figures have been established, organizers of the effort estimate that the complete pool could cost in the neighborhood of $250.000. Katie Drange, another of the group's core members, noted that to June of last year, Hutchinson opened a new out- door pool. The facility there, however, included a covered area for two tennis courts, locker rooms and community education and recreation offices, at a total cost of over a million dollars. "We are not talking about a project that large at all." Mrs. Drange commented. However, Sid Herrick noted at the meeting that perhaps a more elaborate project should be considered to make the new pool site into a more complete recreational facility for the community. City Administrator Wayne Carlson, who was at the meet- ing Tuesday night in what he called an advisory capacity, agreed that Herrick's idea was a good one, but quickly added that it would be hard to meet ongoing costs for such a facility. He noted that the city has no trouble paying its annual 510,000 debt service payment on the Civic Arena, but that operating costs are a concern i for the city. "U's hard to keep the doors open and pay the ongotn� costs. "Let s be honest, B this were going to be a big money maker, then it would already have been built through a pri- vate venture," Carlson noted. He added that if the pool were built, the fees it goner- ates would be used for staffing and maintenance. Any short- falls would be absorbed by the city. Although Herrick's sugges- tion was not totally dismissed, discussion at the meeting con- centrated on construction of y a pool. The pool at Hutchinson_ whit some rst iced, is a six lane, 25 meter, 7 square foot Olympic sized pod. It has a consider- able area of fairly shallow water which aids in teaching swimming lessons to young- sters. The clutch pool is L shaped with the short.end of the L designated as a diving area. One person in attendance wondered if an outdoor pool would cause a reduction in summer nae at the senior high school pool. CMOs*, Swimming 'Ms. some an conducted thronebmt the su mser in the high school pod and evmceowdtog Is eom- mR tt was noted that the outdoor pool could be used to alleviate 'some of the overcrowding problem, but that it would likely be designated for open swimming in the afternoons and evenings. A fee structure for the pool similar to Hutchinson's was discussed. Families in Hutch pay $40 a year with individuals MYtng $20 for use of the pool. Dily rates of si for individ- uals and s2 for families has been established in Hutch. The pool there is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m with time slots set up for various types of swimming such as for families. the elderly or lap swimming. In its first year, the Hutch- 'nson facility was at a break even point with expenses hovered by fee payments.

PAUL (AP) — Two farm organizations Wednesday urged ex- tension of the state's indebted farm loan subsidy program, and the chairman of a House subcommittee predicted that the House would come through. The interest subsidy or "buy - down" program "is one of the few effective means that state govern- ment can use to provide assistance to financially distressed farmers," Vern Ingvalson of the Minnesota Farm Bureau told the Agriculture Finance Division of the House Agriculture Committee.

Ingvalson and Bleyhl both sug- gested that the state could save money in the program by cutting back on the 37.5 percent of the in- terest cost subsidized by the state and possibly increasing the amount subsidized by lenders. ..- ,„ __7R-.
