5. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P.M.
(a) ROBERTS FIRST ADDITION - PROJECT NO. 87 -01
Mayor Ackland called the hearing to order at 8:15 P.M.
Mr. Joe Wesley, 560 Larson Street, asked if it was necessary to put in
four catch basins and, if so, why. He also inquired about the slope of
the berm. He wanted to know how many gallons of water will be pushed
down. Mr. Wesley further inquired if it would be possible to run the
trunk line at the end of Larson Street adjacent to the property under-
neath the anticipated berm and run the catch basin under the berm. He
1
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 14, 1986

wondered if the City had made wrong assumptions regarding future de-
velopment in the area when elevation studies were done in 1964. Mr.
Wesley questioned if the City assumed some responsibility.
City Attorney Schaefer stated the City was not negligent or responsi-
ble. It made determinations based on the information available at the
time.
Engineer Priebe explained the reason for the four catch basins. He
stated that berms do not have adequate inlet capacity for the system,
and a smooth berm would be put in that would not be objectionable to
anyone. The south end is the higher portion. The problem with running
the line as suggested was that it would be under personal property and
would have to be dug up in the event of a problem with the line.
It was reported that the project would be designed using two different
methods, and bids would be taken both ways. Then a decision would be
made based on the actual figures received from bidders.
Mr. Wayne Scott, 525 Larson, stated he was in favor of getting rid of
the water, but he questioned who was responsible for the water. He ob-
jected to the cost of the project and felt he would not benefit that
greatly. Mr. Scott commented that the storm sewer drain in front of
his mailbox was too small, and the storm sewer was not put in the
street.
The square footage cost of the project was reviewed by Engineer Priebe.
He stated the project would be assessed in the normal manner.
Mr. Roger Reinhart, 545 Larson, inquired if the City Council had con-
sidered sharing in the cost of the project and deferring assessment
costs to Mr. Wagner, owner of the undeveloped land. He did not feel
the job had been done properly to handle past problems.
Mayor Ackland stated that the Council had not given any consideration
to sharing in the cost of the project. He pointed out that develop-
ment of the vacant field would help eliminate some of the water prob-
lems.
Alderman Carl inquired if the assessment cost of the project would af-
fect the desire for completion of the project.
Mr. Dave Wieweck, 515 Larson, inquired about the berm on the east side
of Roberts First Addition. He asked if Roberts Road would be able to
handle the extra water if the drain ran north to Roberts Road. He
thought the storm sewer was overtaxed on the amount of water being
handled now. Mr. Wieweck asked if the proposed plan would take the
water to the street or would it still pond up.
The motion was made by Alderman Torgerson to close the hearing at 9:02
P.M. Motion seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 14, 1986
Alderman Torgerson moved to approve project No. 87 -01 with alternatives
and to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 8403. Alderman Mikulecky
seconded the motion and unanimously carried.
(b) FIFTH AVENUE NORTHWEST AND MAPLEWOOD ACADEMY - PROJECT NO. 87 -05
Mayor Ackland called the public hearing to order at 9:07 P.M.
Ms. Nancy Marshall, 37 Fifth Avenue N.W., presented a petition signed
by property owners requesting the project to be completed. She asked
why no drainage was required when Maplewood Academy did their build-
ing and why they could run their water off onto private property for so
many years. Ms. Marshall inquired who was responsible for putting in the
small drain in her backyard which goes to the park.
Ms. Delores Saar, 45 Fifth Avenue N.W., submitted pictures showing the
water situation in her backyard. She then commented on the tile run-
ning across her back yard and inquired if it could be dug up. Ms.
Saar stated that when Maplewood Academy expanded their facilities in
the 1960's, the water problem increased. The excavation created a
run -off onto the adjoining properties. She asked if it was legal to
change the contour of land to better one's own property. Ms. Saar
requested that the water problem be resolved and suggested building the
proposed berm so that the water would remain on Academy property.
Mr. Chuck Nelson, 105 Fifth Avenue N.W., stated he had lost his garden
from water run -off, and his yard was too wet to mow until about June.
He felt that Maplewood Academy had created the problem and should have
to take care of resolving it.
Mr. Jon Marshall, 37 Fifth Avenue N.W., felt he had the only private
drain in the City from Maplewood Academy and wanted it taken care of.
Atty. Curt Bradford stated he was representing Maplewood Academy, and
it was his client's position that they were not a benefited party to
the project and did not intend to pay any assessment. He pointed out
that the public hearing was for a 429 assessment project, but the real
issue was a dispute between property owners, which should be settled
through civil court action to determine to what degree the Academy and
the City were at fault. It was his suggestion to table the matter for
a one month period to allow the parties time to attempt to work out a
solution to the problem.
City Engineer Priebe stated a 429 project was the basic avenue to do
the project but other alternatives were possible.
Mayor Ackland asked the legal counsel if the City had some legal obli-
gation to attempt to resolve the water problem. City Attorney Schaefer
responded it did not.
Alderman Torgerson moved to close the hearing at 9:40 P.M. Motion
3

ried.
(b) PRESENTATION BY POLICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING COMMITTEE
Chairman Dick Burgart presented an update report on the progress of the
Police Department Building Committee. The conceptual design of the
building had been reduced to 9,118 square feet at an estimated cost of
$808,422 and a contingency fee of $68,000. The basement would not be
finished off during construction. It was the recommendation of the
committee to proceed with working drawings and to advertise for bids,
with spring construction.
After discussion, the motion was made by Alderman Torgerson, seconded
by the Chair, to proceed with working drawings and the bidding process
and address additional cuts in the future. Motion unanimously carried.

(a) CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING BID FOR PROJECT NO. 86 -15 (FREEMONT AVENUE
CUL -DE -SAC) (DEFERRED SEPTEMBER 23, 1986)
City Attorney Schaefer commented on the letter received from Retirement
Living's legal counsel stating the City Ordinance did not require a
cul -de -sac at the end of Freemont Avenue and that the driveway turn-
around met the definition of a cul -de -sac. Upon review, it was Attor-
ney Schaefer's legal opinion that there was no need for a cul -de -sac.
Fire Chief Henke commented on the Uniform Fire Code, 1982 edition. He
stated that Greencastle did not comply with the verbal agreement made
with the Fire Marshal and Building Official regarding a trade -off.
Specifically, the trade -off was to require the developer to move the
fire hydrant to the end of Freemont Avenue and to install a cul -de -sac
in lieu of not putting in the two and one -half inch pipe throughout the
building with a fire department hook -up.
Following discussion, Alderman Mikulecky moved to defer the awarding of

added to the plan since the last proposal hearing.
Our concern is with the section of highway between South Grade
Road and Fremont. We fully realize the need for improved traffic
control and safer turn lanes, because they are in the interests of
both Hutchinson residents and people passing through.
With this in mind, we are

To this point, we feel, that the personal sacrifices are out
weighed by the public benefit, but now you want a 5 foot wide
• sidewalk, 35 feet from the edge of-the roadway, which is already
26 feet wider than it is presently'. We have been residents of
this area thru all of its development, and have first hand
knowledge of the pedestrian traffic between the shopping areas,
and a north /south sidewalk on the west side of the highway does'nt
seem to serve any useful purpose.
Am I also to believe that it would be the home owner's
responsibility to keep this sidewalk clear of snow in the winter.
Well, how would you like to be a retired senior citizen with a
city block of sidewalk, which nobody uses, to keep clean all

Topic: Proposed Library Square Holiday Season Special Events
We would like to outline a calendar of proposed special events for the holiday
season which would take place in Library Square. We will provide a cost estitmate
for each event individually & atotal cost for all events. We are requesting your
approval to allow the events to take place in Library Square, to permit the
cooperation of the City Parks 6 Recreation Department in the coordination of
the events, and to consider providing funding to our organization to help
defray the costs of the projects.
HOLIDAY EVENTS THEME: "A Country Christmas"
Event 1 - Saturday, November 29, 1986 - "The Lighting of Library Square"
We propose the purchase of lights for the two spruce trees facing Main Street.
We also propose the purchase of lighting to be used to complete the lighting
of trees begun by the Parks Department in 1985. We will work to coordinate
any lighting or decorating of the Library itself. Total Cost = 750.00
In conjunction with the lighting, we propose the purchase of a life -size nativity
scene to be erected in Library Square. The scene would be purchased over a
three year period. The initial purchase would consist of Mary, Joseph, Infant
Jesus, stable and Angel. Total Cost = 1,000.00
The "Lighting of Library Square" would be kicked -off on this date with a special
ceremony where our Mayor and other dignitaries would "throw the switch" to
signal the beginning of the holiday season. We hope to bring many citizens and
visitors to Library Square to see its beauty.
Event 2 - Saturday, December 6, 1986 - "Santa and Friends"
In cooperation with the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce, we will be sponsoring
a visit to Library Square by Santa. He will be available for special visits
with children, and additionally, we will sponsor afterwards a free "Afternoon
at the Movies" which will offer two children's movies free of charge to interested
parents and children. Total Cost 250.00
Event 3 - Saturday, December 14, 1986 - "Live Nativity"
In cooperation with area farm families and 4 -H groups, we plan to organize all
the characters for a "Live Nativity" procession and display in Library Square.
It will include live animals of all types, and characters dressed in original
costumes. Special music and refreshments will be provided.
Total Cost = 200.00

Proposed Library Square decorations (cont'd)
Event 4 - Saturday, December 20, 1986 - "The Skating Pond"
We propose the flooding of a small section of Library Square to create a
skating pond. On this date we would coordinate with the City Recreation Skating
Program a special "In- the - Park" ice skating event. The event would consist
of programming already in production for the Ice Show, and would not involve
the special development of a new program. Refreshments will be provided.
The cost of the skating instructor is considered an expense. (In the event of
warm weather, we have alternative activities planned.) Total cost = 200.00
TOTAL COST ALL EVENTS - $2,400.00
In conclusion, we are asking for your approval to allow these events to take
place in Library Square, for your approval to allow the City Parks and Recreation
Department to assist us with the accomplishment of these events, and for your
approval to provide funding for the purchase of permanent lighting, decorations,
and displays ($1,750.00) for Library Square.

Dear Sirs:
Recently we have had an increase of crime at 445 Third Avenue N.W.
here in Hutchinson. One week ago my door was tampered with, the
bolts around the lock were removed. A few days later on a Sunday
morning, 3 a.m., I was called by a resident and was told that
someone was snooping and possibly breaking in one of my customer's
cars in the parking lot. The police were notified and the suspect
was caught and questioned. Two days later a car disappeared from
the lot and was found two blocks from the premises. The car had
been hot wired. We have already had Hutchinson Utilities install
a light on our parking lot.
This matter of crime has been discussed with Chief of Police
O'Borsky. He suggested that I write to the Hutchinson City
Council and request that a street light be installed on an exist-
ing pole on the south side of Third Avenue (opposite our parking
lot). The north side of Third Avenue has street lights, but it
has a 300 foot gap and leaves a dark spot. The existing pole is
on the south side of the street, and with a light it would
brighten the area considerably and hopefully divert crime and
criminals.
Please give this matter serious consideration. If you have
further questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Re: Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Dear Mr. Plotz:
We are requesting that a number of items with regard to the
wastewater project be addressed at the October 28, 1986 Council
Meeting. We are making this request in order to expedite the
project to place the community in the best funding situation
possible. The items which we would like to discuss and take
Council action on are summarized as follows:
1. Reduction of the Step III engineering fees due to removal of
the filters from the plan and specification set.
2. Amendment to the Step II Engineering Agreement for increased
. costs due to:
A. Amending the plans and specifications for filter
removal.
B. Change of aeration equipment due to discharge
requirements which changed after completion of the plans
and specifications.
C. Change in the sludge handling equipment requested by
staff.
3. Establishment of an advertisement date in mid December with
bid opening in late January and construction start April list.
As you are aware from the MPCA meeting, there are a number of
actions which Donohue has already initiated to insure that the
City is in a good position to obtain their grant at the earliest
possible moment. We are requesting that the advertisement date
be established in mid December to allow revision of the plans to
insure that a comprehensive package is presented to the
contractors so that we may obtain the lowest possible
construction bids. This date will also allow us to maximize
potential for obtaining a grant prior to advertising. We do feel
that this is the latest possible date that we can advertise and
feasibly be under construction April let.

E -3
Graduate Engineer
4.
SP -1 Senior Personnel

Information regarding the above classifications is available from
the Owner's Step 3 grant application or the Engineer upon
request.
The estimated total ceiling price is based on a 17 month
construction period beginning on April 1, 1987 with final
completion on September 1, 1988.
ARTICLE 7 - AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED
The Engineer will not commence work under this agreement until
the City issues a written notice to proceed to the Engineer.
ARTICLE 8 - COMPENSATION
The Engineer shall be compensated for services performed under
this agreement on the basis of the Engineer's cost, plus a fixed
fee. The Engineer's cost includes direct labor costs, allowable
indirect costs, and other allowable direct costs. For services
described under Article 2, the estimated total ceiling price is
$1,054,000, including a fixed fee of $128,000.
The total overhead rate (indirect labor and allowable indirect
costs), as indicated in the Owner's MPCA Step 3 grant
application, is the 1986 provisional rate of 156.00 percent.
Upon completion of the Engineer's final audit for each calendar
year, a credit or invoice will be issued as necessary to reflect
the actual total overhead rate for services performed during that
calendar year. The Engineer's final audit for a calendar year
will be completed on or before April 15 of the next year. The
provisional rate may be adjusted annually in accordance with the
Engineer's estimated provisional indirect costs relating to
federally allowable regulations.
Other allowable direct costs are expenses incurred directly by
the Engineer for the Owner, including meals, mileage, computer
usage, technical equipment, printing, etc. Such direct expenses
shall be billed on the basis of the usual commercial charges for
items provided by the Engineer or on the actual price for items
obtained from commercial sources.
The Engineer will invoice the owner monthly. The monthly invoice
will summarize the direct labor hour charge by the Engineer's
standard job classification, plus other direct costs incurred. A
prorated percentage of the fixed fee will also be billed monthly,
based on the Engineer's estimated percentage of project
completion.
The Owner will pay the Engineer within 30 days of the invoice
date. Payments are not tied to Federal or State grant payments.
Payment of Engineer's invoices by the Owner which exceed the
contract payment of 30 days shall be subject to payment of
interest to Engineer in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
471.425 Subd. 4.
It is understood that services described in Article 3 - Non -
fundable Owner Assistance are not eligible for grant funds.
Compensation for these services shall be on a per diem basis in
accordance with the Engineer's hourly fees in effect at the time
the services are performed. The Engineer will separately bill
the Owner monthly for the actual services provided under Article
3 by the staff members involved plus other expenses incidental to
Article 3 assistance such as meals, mileage, and other direct
expenses. A copy of the current fee schedule is available on
request. The separate monthly billing will summarize the charges
incurred. The Owner agrees to pay the Engineer within 30 days of
the billing date. The Engineer anticipates that user charge
update services and grant documentation assistance will be
requested under Article 3. The Engineer will notify the Owner if
it is anticipated that the fee for these services will exceed
$5,000.
The Engineer and the Owner agree that the ceiling price reflects
the best current estimate of the timing and personnel necessary
to complete the services covered by this agreement. If
conditions would require additional hours of effort or personnel
of different classifications than those set forth in Article 5
which result in the ceiling price being exceeded, the Engineer
and the Owner agree to amend this agreement to increase the
ceiling price. The fixed fee may not increased except in the
case of an agreement amendment which increases the scope of
services. The renegotiation will be in accordance with MPCA
grant regulations.

Ackland and myself.
The sanctuary representatives requested the alternative presented
at the September 23 council meeting by the engineer be put temporarily
on "hold ", namely a new 240' deep well. Skip and Virgil intend to
check out two other alternatives that may be more cost effective.
1. An aeration system
2. Utilizing one or more shallow wells, taking ground water
instead of deeper 240' water.
In regards to the lateral for water line to the sanctuary: The
total cost was approximately $1,300. The club paid $300 and Helen
McClure donated $1,000.
Regarding the further use of the "buffalo fence ", the sanctuary
intends to utilize the fence by having some other animals, possibly
elk, in the same area.

Mayor Paul Ackland and the
Hutchinson City Council
RE: STORAGE OF ABANDONED OR JUNKED CARS AND TRUCKS
Dear Mayor Ackland:
At the last Hutchinson City Council meeting I was
asked to research the possibility of amending our current
ordinance dealing with unlicensed, wrecked or junked cars or
car bodies. This topic is currently dealt with in Section
1025:10 Subdivision 4 of our ordinances. I am enclosing a
copy of that ordinance for your inspection.
The League of Minnesota Cities provides a Model
Nuisance Ordinance. Section 13 of that model ordinance deals
with automobile bodies as a nuisance. I _am enclosing - _a_copy
_of that
a section for comparison with our current ordinance. I
am lso enclosing a copy of a more detailed ordinance
regulating junked motor vehicles. This model ordinance is
taken from volume 1B of Matthews Municipal Ordinances. I
believe that this ordinance is more in keeping with the
Council's desires to have a more detailed set of regulations
governing junked or abandoned motor vehicles. You will note
that Section 2 of this proposed ordinance specifically makes
it a separate violation to remove a junked motor vehicle from
one prohibited area and move it to any other area upon which
storage would not be permitted or unto a public highway or
other public property for purposes of storage. This prevents
an owner from playing "musical chairs" with the junked or
abandoned cars.
The question was raised as to the proper method of
handling the so- called "classic cars ". I suggest that the
proposed ordinance specifically exempt classic cars registered
under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 168.10 if such
properly registered cars are stored in compliance with the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes 168.10 Sub6. 1E. This
subdivision permits outdoor storage of pioneer, classic,
collector vehicles, or street rods, licensed or unlicensed,
g_(i ,
Ma or Paul Ackland
July 1, 1986
Page Two
operable or inoperable on their owner's property providing
that the vehicles and any outdoor storage areas they may
require are maintained in such a manner that they do not
constitute a health or environmental hazard and are screened
from ordinary public view by means of a fence, shrubbery,
rapidly growing trees or other appropriate means. That
section also indicates that the appropriate local agency or
authority may inform an owner of his failure to comply with
that requirement and may order the vehicles removed from the
outdoor storage area if the owner fails to comply with these
requirements within twenty (20) days after the warning. It
seems to me that the proposed ordinance, when combined with
Minnesota Statutes 168.10 adequately deals with not only
junked vehicles but the so- called "classic cars ". The City
may not prohibit the storage of classic cars but the State
Statute authorizes us to have them removed if they are not
screened from ordinary public view. Since that appears to be
the thrust of the nuisance complaint, compliance with that
section should satisfy the municipality and local residents.
Of course, even if the automobiles are classic and are stored
in a manner in which they are screened from ordinary public
view if the vehicles do in fact constitute a health or
environmental hazard (attract rats, mice or other vermin), they
may still be required to be removed or properly maintained.
,+ Please review these various sections and provide me
�" (� �n _Fwith your thoughts on this matter.

RE: Public Utility Commission and City Financing and Tax Reform Act of 1986
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Last Thursday, City Staff and I met with representatives of the Hutchinson Public
Utilities Commission (P.U.C.) regarding the issuance of Revenue Bonds.
The resolution before the City Council grants certain powers and authority to the
•P.U.C. The specific items that are not consistent with past City financing policy
are those powers that would permit the P.U.C. to negotiate the sale of bonds. The
P.U.C. Board Members present have advised they do not intend to negotiate but
rather advertise and hold a public sale. It would be in order to drop those
specific powers.
is
The P.U.C. will not be able to complete contract negotiations for a bond sale and
delivery before 12/31/86. Apparently a closing after 12/31/86 would change the
economics of the project. P.U.C. members will be present to explain the.projects.
The project seems to be worthy and, therefore, in spite of little notice, the
City's issues will have to be considered after February 1, 1987.
I still have concerns regarding the rating and the impact of this issue and
specifically the presentation to Moody's. It is imperative that one of the City
Staff Members be made aware of all material submitted and presented to Moody's.
It is imperative that we plan immediately for the City's financings which include
refunding higher interest rate debt, Sewer Facility Bonds and 1987 and 1988
Improvments.
This revenue issue will trigger questions from Moody's regarding our Capital
financing especially since we had not disclosed our plans to issue these revenue
bonds.
OFFICES IN MINNEAPOLIS AND WAUKESHA
507 Marquette Avenue • Minneapolis. MN 55402 -1255 •612- 339 -8291
i
• At our session, it was announced that the revenue bonds might be taxable instead of
tax - exempt. If this occurs, our concerns about rebate and higher interest cost on
Sewer Bonds is reduced.
In summary, the project appears to be a strong public purpose for the P.U.C. Other
than the changes regarding City Capital financing policy (i.e. competitive sale of
bonds) the matter probably should go forward.
Very truly yours,

After reviewing the bids received from various dealers it is my opinion
that the Model 210C John Deere Bid by Carlson Lake State Equipment Company
of Burnsville, MN would best meet the needs of the city of Hutchinson.
Carlson Equipment was low bidder for all models of this size. Teply
Equipment of Glencoe, MN was $244.00 lower but they bid a 1982 300B
John Deere tractor. This model is no longer in production and was
replaced by the Model 210C John Deere Bid by Lake State.

HUTCHINSON PLANNING COMMISSION
Tuesday, October 21, 1986
1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Roland Ebent at 7 :30 p.m, with
the following members present: Marlin Torgerson, Spencer Beytien, Thomas
Lyke, Bruce Drahos and Chairman Ebent. Members absent: Elsa Young and
Larry Romo. Also present: City Administrator Gary Plotz.
2. MINUTES
Mr. Beytien made a motion to approve the minutes of the regular meeting
dated Tuesday, September 16, 1986. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion
carried unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT REQUESTED BY JOHN MILLER
Chairman Ebent opened the hearing at 7:35 p.m. with the reading of
publication #3625 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday,
October 9, 1986. The request is for a prenary a— nominal plat to
be known as Campbell Lake Addition.
Administrator Plotz explained that the combination of preliminary and
final plat is allowed provided the plat is complete.
Discussion followed, with a motion by Mr. Torgerson to close the
hearing and recommend City Council approval of the platting request.
Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. The hearing
closed at 7:37 p.m.
4. OLD BUSINESS
(a) DISCUSSION OF CORRESPONDENCE ON BOARDING AND LODGING FACILITIES
Adminstrator Plotz explained his understanding of various city ordin-
ances on boarding and lodging homes for the elderly. Primarly a
conditional use permit is required if there are 6 or less occupants
and that boarding homes with 7 or more are in R -3 zoning. There was
nothing in the city ordinances limiting the inside of the building
since that is regulated by the state.
Discussion followed as to amending the ordinance for boarding and
lodging homes for the elderly. Any changes would not affect present
homes in operation since they are "Grandfathered in" to the present
ordinance.
Mr. Torgerson made a motion instructing staff to draw up the ordinance
. stating that Boarding and Lodging Home for the Elderly with 6 or less
occupants be zoned R -2 and 7 or more to be zoned R -3. Seconded by
Mr. Beytien the motion carried unanimously.
1
(b) CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF ELIMINATION OF PLAYGROUND PARK AT COUNTRY CLUB
TERRACE
Administrator Plotz explained that staff recommended 10% of Mobile
Home Parks be designated as recreation area as stated in ordinance
Section 8.04.02.
Mr. Gordon Hedland, owner of Country Club Terrace, reviewed the
request of elimination of playground park at Country Club Terrace. He
presented the survey which was given to each mobile home owner in the
park explaining the problems of the playground area. The results were
as follows: 150 people responded, with 30 saying "yes" they wanted
the park to remain and 120 answered "no" or "no opinion ".
Much discussion followed as to the proposed use of the lots now used
as park, the suggested area that might be used for recreation and
reviewal of the ordinance on Mobile Home Parks.
Mr. Torgerson made a motion to deny the request to eliminate the
playground park at Country Club Terrace based on Section 8.04.02 and
that staff survey other cities on their Mobile Home Park ordinance as
to recreation area designated. Seconded by Mr. Beytien the motion
carried unanimously.
(c) VARIANCE REQUEST DENIAL (REQUESTED BY DR.KUEHL)
Chairman Ebent noted that the variance request submitted by Dr. Kuehl
to the county has been resolved. It needed no further discussion of
the planning commission.
(d) RESIGNATION OF MR. SHU -MEI HWANG FROM THE COMMISSION
Mr. Bruce Drahos was welcomed to the commission by Chairman Ebent as
the member appointed to fill the term opened by the resignation of Mr.
Hwang.
Chairman Ebent made a motion to appoint Dr. Lyke to the position of
Vice - Chairman for the remainder of Mr. Hwang's term. Seconded by Mr.
Torgerson the motion carried unanimously.
(e) VOLUNTEER RENTAL INSPECTION PROGRAM
Administrator Plotz explained the voluntary program of rental
inspection as an alternative to the previous public hearing. Staff
recommended a notice be put in the Hutchinson Leader on free or
voluntary inspections.
Discussion followed as to the inspections being no cost and no penalty
with a liberal time period given to correct any safety problems in a
building with rental units.
Several landlords were present to express their concerns with this type
of program.
2
Wayne Kenning, Peterson - Paulson Realty, suggested two concerns he had
with the program: 1) The landlord should be included and present at
the time of inspection. 2) There be a control on actual needs in
order to comply with safety requirements, keeping in mind the cost
burden to the landlord and indirectly to the tennant.
Judy Kopesky, Century 21, made several comments on other possible ways
to control the safety of rental units. She suggested that education
of tennants is basically needed and that a letter should be made
available to inform the people looking for units to rent.
It was the concensus of the commission to invite one representative
from each Real Estate Office to a meeting with City Staff for the
purpose of composing a letter for safe rental property.
5. NEW BUSINESS
(a) VARIANCE ON KDUZ /KNJR PROPERTY
Larry Graff, of KDUZ /KNJR, presented a variance request on the
proposed addition to the KDUZ studio.
Discussion followed on the boardering property and side yard setbacks.
Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend approval of the variance to
City Council. Seconded by Mr. Beytien the motion carried unanimously.
. 6. OTHER BUSINESS
C�
(a) Administrator Plotz explained a letter sent to Marie Ewald pertaining
to 'other than elderly" living in her boarding facility. There is one
handicapped person living there, who is not "elderly ", formerly from
another boarding care home.
After discussion of the circumstances, Chairman Ebent directed Mr.
Plotz to inform the owner by letter that she would not need a condi-
tional use permit at this time since only one handicapped person is
living at the facility.
(b) Chairman Ebent suggested that commission members consider going to the
"Annual Planning Institute" to be held December 12 and January 21.
Interested members should contact Bonnie at City Hall to be
registered.
7. ADJOURNMENT
There being no futher business, Mr. Torgerson moved to adjourn the meeting.
Seconded by Mr. Beytien the motion carried unanimously. The meeting was
adjourned at 9:26 p.m.

At the last weeks council meeting the decision to retain
Donahue & Associates was made. With the engineerino firm in
place I would now ask to have a financial consultant named for
this pre iect.
To begin the planning and structuring of debt for this
Project it is important to name the consultant soon. We
have established a good relationship with the people at Ehlers &
Associates and Bill Fahey. The firm has served our needs well
over the past years and do a good iob of marketing our bonds.
I would request the council authorize the use of Ehlers &
Associates as financial consultant for the waste water treatment
plant proiect.

SUBJECT Schools and Conferences
I enrolled Officer Robert Ringstrom in a Barricaded Suspects and Hostage
Situation Tactical Supervision Class on October 27 -28 at Eagan Police
Department.
This request was not submitted to Council prior to his enrollment because of
the short notice received by me and the fact that I was waiting to meet with
the finance director on the department's current budgetary situation regarding
conferences and schools.
I felt this course was important enough to make an exception. Mr. Merrill
issued a check for $125.00 to cover registration cost of the school.
All further requests for schools will be denied by me until the budget over -run
is resolved.
This is to request, retroactive, approval for Officer Ringstrom to attend
this course.

and had contacted all parties except the water department.
After this meeting I touched base with Gary Plotz to inform him
that the work was in progress in accordance with the specifications
and that any questions should be directed to this office.
Dean O'Borski was contacted to inform him of progress.
Ralph Neuman was contacted (he was not in office so left word
with person in charge) to inform him that the demolition was anticipated
to be completed by Wednesday, October 15, 1986, and the maintenance
department should be prepared to proceed with erection of fencing
as required. I was informed that the needed materials had been
purchased and were ready for installation.

SUBJECT: COUNCIL CHAMBERS AUDIO SYSTEM
Personnel from Abbott looked at our audio system in the
council chambers. Basiciv the system seems to be working well
but there are some problems.
First Abbott's people are not sound specialists and though
they did look at the system improvements that could be made are
not fully understood by them.
In my conversation with the people from Abbott Electronic
thev found and advised the followinq:
1. Everyone must talk directly into the microphones for the
sound to be picked uo properly.
2 Cable TV is having trouble with their audio in the room.
Abbotts are working on a new cable to see if this solves the
problem. If not the recommendation is a separate microphone
system which they can adjust for cable tv purpose only. Our
system is set as high as it can be at this point.
:a. The room does not have good acoustics and the sound
fights it self and adds to the problem of the system.
4. Adding different or more microphones might inprove
the system some but the cost could be $1,000 or more and the
results may not be much better than present.

RE: Kuehl Variance Request
Dear Mr. Savage:
In view of your opposition to Dr. Kuehl's side yard variance request,
I am providing you with a copy of his letter of appeal that has been filed
with my office.
If you wish to comment, you may do so in writing or appear at the next
regular meeting of the McLeod County Board of Adjustment at 10:30 a.m. on
Thursday, October 30, 1986, in the County Commissioners' Room, Courthouse,

Dear Hr. Homan,
65 Fire Ave. N.W.
Hutchinson. Minnesota 55350
MiGEN -Eu
OCT ' - I`
I am writing you to request my appearance at the next County Adjustment
Board meeting. I understand that meeting is to be held on October
30, 1986.
The purpose of my appearance is to appeal the denial of the variance
for a reduction of the side yard setback from twenty feet to ten feet
at the September 25, 1986 meeting. I did not anticipate any opposition
from neighbors at the September meeting and therefore I did not address
their opposition.
Subsequent to the September Board meeting I have met with Mr. Savage
to discuss his objection as well as discuss my projected house plans.
. As a result of our meeting and discussion Mr. Savage has rescinded
his objection to my request for variance and therefore I would like
to present new evidence for appeal at the October 30, 1986 meeting.
I request that you contact Ys. Savage and confirm his dismissed
objection.
Factors creating hardship and necessity for side yard variance:
I. Unusual shaped piece of property created by the location
of Koglin Road resulting in a narrow dimension of high land
for a building site.
2. 2ccessive expenditure to fill wide dimension of low land
for building site. Estimate $20,000.00 to $25,000.00.
3. Expenditure for culvert in low land area from Koglin Road
to Campbell Lake. Estimate x;2,500.00 to $39000.00
4. :ctreme difficulity in building a house with attached garage
in highland area without the requested ten feet setback
from the side yard.
5. High land on lot only building site practical and drainfield
must dram toward low land.
0 6. Location of well preferred to be close to building site
upslope from drainfield.
page 2
In conclusion granting me the requested variance for reduction of the
side yard setback from twenty feet to ten feet to my knowledge would
not create inconvenience to any party. The only portion of my building
which would be located within the ten foot variance requested would
be a garage sidewall running East to West thirtyfive feet. The main
body of my house would be within the normal twenty foot side yard
requirement. The distance between my house and Mr. Savage's house
Provides sufficient common ground for his driveway and car larking.
Snow removal would not be a problem. It is my understanding that ten
feet between property lines is required for utility easement and my
variance would comply.
In reality I am requesting a variance for an additional ten feet of
land which I own and desperately need to build a house computable
to other houses in the area.
Sind
J. I.I. Kuehl, D.C.

P.S. I would be pleased to meet with the Board at any time of their .
convenience for an on site inspection of my lot which may be beneficial
in better understanding my building site and variance request.

FOR YOUR INF_ORMAII09
October 21, 1986
Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the Hutchinson City Council
Gentlemen:
At the October 14, 1986 Council meeting it was asserted that
the Purchase Agreement entered into between RLC and the City
did not conform to the motion authorizing the sale made on
June 11, 1985. Alderman Mikulecky stated that the June 11,
1985 motion was "clear on its face" and that in drafting the
Purchase Agreement the city attorney "just blew it." Alderman
Carls supported Alderman Mikulecky. These statements were
made at a public meeting carried by cable television. The
Hutchinson Leader, in reporting the meeting, quotes Alderman
Carls and Milulecky as saying I "second- guessed the Council
regarding its intentions for providing the turn - around."
Alderman Mikulecky was quoted as saying "He never carred out
the intentions of the Council - its that clear."
I would like to remind the Council that the office of City
Attorney is a part -time position. Any attorney working for
the City on such a basis will earn the great majority of his
income from the private side of his practice. Public
statements such as those made at the October 14, 1986 Council
meeting and, as subsequently reported, are not only damaging
to the reputation, but can result in significant economic
loss. Although I would like to think that such an effect was
inadvertent and unintentional, it is disturbing that prior to
that meeting only Mayor Ackland had discussed directly with me
the circumstances leading to the drafting of the Purchase
Agreement in controversy. I believe that before statements
damaging to any staff member's reputation or standing are
publicly made, that staff member should be given the courtesy
to present to the alderman or council a response.
The Purchase Agreement was not drafted in a vacuum.
Considerable discussion took place before Alderman Carls made
his motion on June 11, 1985. I have reviewed the recordings
of that discussion and although the tapes are of generally
poor quality, it is fair to say the following items were
discussed and considered:
a. Special Assessments. Alderman Mikulecky
inquired concerning the appraisa of the property. He
specifically wanted to know whether the appraisal took into
Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the Hutchinson City Council
Page 2
October 21, 1986
consideration the value of prior improvements /assessments made
to Century Avenue and Freemont. Alderman Mikulecky was told
that the appraisal was for "improved property" and that in
determining the various purchase options the existence,
availability and cost of improvements were included.
Councilman Mikulecky stated that he felt that if there were
any pending, levied special assessments or installments that
remained unpaid, they should be RLC's responsibility. The
usual situation has seller rather than buyer assuming
responsibility for unpaid special assessments, unless the
purchase price is reduced by an applicable amount.
b. Purchase Price. Various methods of computing a
fair and equitable purchase price were discussed. Fair Market
Value was presented at between $83,340 and $138,900, depending
upon restrictions placed upon the property's use and the
amount of Hospital involvement in the project. The price of
$104,175 was recommended by the appraiser if the use limited
to the proposed 38 unit retirement condo, including
restrictions and controls regarding design, size, plan
approval, time scheduling, etc. The higher appraised value
was based upon no limitations on the lands use, while the .
lower value included Hospital involvement in the completed
project in the areas of food service, maintenance and
management.
C. Sewer and Water Service. Alderman Mikulecky felt
that all costs associated with providing sewer and water
service should be borne by the development. This concern was
based upon the fact that the property borders City owned
property and under the normal assessment procedure, it would
be possible for the City to be required to share in a portion
of costs if the improvements were installed on the North
boundary of the property.
d. Rezoning. If the area were rezoned to R -31
Alderman Carls felt the classification should revert to the
original zoning category if the project were not completed.
This would prevent the developer from changing plans and using
the newly rezoned property for some other type of project or
selling the property at a higher price based upon the change
in zoning.
e. Cul -de -sac. Discussion centered on the costs
associated with the installation of a cul -de -sac on the
eastern end of Freemont Avenue.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Alderman Carls moved to .
"sell the hospital property (4.5 acres) to Retirement Living
. Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the Hutchinson City Council
Page 3
October 21, 1986
Communities, Inc. for $104,175, contingent upon the property
being rezoned and the developer being responsible for the
costs in developing the cul -de -sac on Freemont so that there
would be no City cost or cost assessed out to any other party
for the cul -de- sac." This motion was amended to have a six
month option amount of $2,000 and to be deducted from the
purchase price.
The motion as passed contained no requirements that RLC be
responsible for any taxes or unpaid, pending special
assessments. The motion contained no language limiting the
project to the proposed 38 unit retirement condo, nor did it
contain restrictions or controls regarding the projects size,
design, plan or schedule. There was no requirement that RLC
be responsible for all costs associated with installation of
sewer and water. Nothing in the motion indicated rezoning was
to be conditioned.
One week later the Hutchinson Planning Commission met to
consider RLC's request to have the property rezoned to R -3.
Although the June 11, 1985 motion authorizing the sale did not
make such requirement specific, Newell Weed at the rezoning
public hearing, stated that the option to purchase was
contingent upon their proceeding with this project as proposed
and that he would recommend that the rezoning have a similar
condition. (See PC Minutes, June 18, 1985.) A discussion was
held about what might be done with Freemont Avenue. The
minutes reflect that when the cul -de -sac was discussed,
"Director Priebe stated that there are other options that
should be studied." If the Council's motion of June 11, 1985
clearly mandated a cul -de -sac with no other alternative, it is
difficult to understand what other options would be available.
The City Staff recommended approval of the rezoning contingent
upon a time commitment requirement and the project being
developed in accordance with the proposed site plan. The
Planning Commission recommended "approval of conditional"
rezoning to R -3 upon the firm exercising their option to buy
the property, with a six month limitation." If the option was
not exercised, the property would go back to its former
zoning. The motion made no requirement that the project be
completed as designed, nor did it limit the use of the
property. The only condition that the Planning Commission
imposed upon RLC was the exercise of the option to purchase.
If that option were exercised, the zoning became final.
On June 19, 1985 the Planning Commission forwarded its
recommendations to the Council. On June 25, 1985 the rezoning
Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the Hutchinson City Council
Page 4
October 21, 1986
was approved, subject to the stipulation of the Planning
Commission. The second reading and passage of the rezoning
was completed on July 9, 1985. As of that date the Council by
its motion had agreed to sell 4.5 acres of hospital property
to RLC for $104,175. The option was to be exercised within
six months with an option price of $2,000, which would be
applied to the purchase price, if the option were exercised.
A literal reading of the motion would require an
interpretation that the sale was contingent on only two things
1. rezoning, and 2. installation of a cul -de -sac. The
property had by Council action been rezoned with no
restrictions placed upon the use to which the property could
be made. A literal reading of the actions of the Council
would indicate that if RLC were to install a cul -de -sac at the
end of Fremont Avenue the City, since the property had been
rezoned, would be obligated to sell the property to RLC with
no limitations as to the use of the property. I did not
believe that that was the intent of the Council. I felt that
the motions made had to be considered in the light of the
entire discussion concerning the sale.
I contact RLC and requested that their attorneys prepare a
proposed Purchase Agreement. This was done in order to limit
the amount of City attorney time spent on the project. After
a period of time RLC forwarded to my office an Option to
Purchase. This is the copy marked "Proposed by RLC."
Although the provisions of their document were not
objectionable in themselves, they did not contain any of the
items discussed at the June 11, 1985 Council meeting. I
discussed the proposal with City Administrator, Gary Plotz.
Based upon that discussion, I drafted a counter - proposal.
This is the document marked "Proposal by Municipality." As
you can see this proposal adopts the first ten paragraphs of
the RLC proposal and an additional five paragraphs. These
five paragraphs dealt with the following:
1. Specificied Use. This would have limited the
use of the property to development of a 38 unit condominium
for those over 55 years of age, and made plan and design
modifications subject to mutual agreement.

. Page 5

4. Rezoning. This made the development subject to
zoning restrictions.
5. Cul -de -sac. This made the developer responsible
for all the costs thay may be associated with the installation
of a cul -de -sac on the easternmost end of Freemont Avenue.
With the exception of the cul -de -sac none of these additions
were mentioned in Alderman Carl's motion and the motion as
made and approved did not require their inclusion.
Nonetheless, after meeting with Mr. Plotz, it was our mutual
understanding that the intent of the motion was to include
these items and the alternative Purchase Agreement was
forwarded to RLC for their consideration. RLC did not feel
comfortable with my proposal. As a result, a meeting was held
between Gary Plotz, myself, Mayor Robert Stearns, Tom Weed and
Robert Mitchell. Based upon that discussion, the Purchase
Agreement that was ultimately signed was drafted. The
following items not directly found in Alderman Carl's motion
were included:
. 1. $10,000 total earnest money paid upon signing the
option. This amount would be forfeited if closing did not
take place.
2. Real estate taxes would be pro- rated. This means
that RLC would be responsible for any taxes accruing during
1985 that accumulated after closing. Prior to closing the
property was not on the tax rolls, since it was owned by the
municipality. An assessment search indicated that there were
no unpaid special assessments due on the property. Since
there were no unpaid assessments, responsibility for them
became moot.
3. Terminology indicating zoning limitations was
included, which limited the project to the construction of a
condominium according to the site plan and preliminary plan.
The City was given the right to approve of any site or
building plan modification. In addition RLC was required to
place in the Declaration of Condominium a provision requiring
residents to be fifty -five years of age or older.
None of the foregoing
1985 motion, but were
Stearns all felt that
intent of the Council
• 1985 was taken into c
were directly contained in the June 11,
included because I, Mr. Plotz and Mayor
to omit them would not be following the
when the entire discussion of June 11,
:onsideration. It would appear that no
Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the Hutchinson City Council
Page 6
October 21, 1986 .
Council member now contends that the Purchase Agreement could
have omitted these items and still "have carried out the
intentions of the Council."
The only apparent disagreement the Council now has with the
Purchase Agreement deals with the language concerning the
cul -de -sac. Again, this language was agreed upon only after a
discussion between representatives of RLC, myself, Gary Plotz
and Mayor Stearns. If the language utilized did not agree
with the intentions of the Council, it was not because I as
City Attorney somehow independently imposed my individual
interpretation upon the City. Both Mr. Plotz and Mayor
Stearns were present when that specific language was drafted
and neither voiced any concern that it was contrary to the
motion authorizing the sale. I am sure the document was
signed by Mayor Stearns after his complete review and that he
would not have signed anything he did not believe to be in
both the best interests of the City and in accordance with the
Councils wishes. The document was signed without any direct
review by the Council as a whole. It is my understanding that
it has never been a Council requirement that such documents
obtain formal approval after initial authorization and that
the Council has in the past been satisfied with review by the .
Mayor and attestation by the City Clerk. If in retrospect,
the Council wishes to alter this informal procedure, I have no
objections to such a policy change.
My purpose in preparing this response was to outline the
process by which the terms of the Purchase Agreement were
prepared and to point out that this was a cooperative effort
between myself as City Attorney, Gary Plotz as City
Administrator and Robert Stearns as a representative of the
Council.

SUBJECT: GRANT FUNDING AND ENGINEERING SERVICE
Dear Linda:
0
FOR YOUR 11-dFOR&IATIOj
This is to confirm our October 6th conversation regarding
potential adjustments that may be "allowable" if federal funding
is substantially delayed.
The current proposal from Donohue, as you know, is a 17 month
"substantial completion" timeframe. This timetable assumes one
winter construction season.
If the construction contract is awarded after April 1, 1987, we
understand we will be looking at two construction seasons (2 winters)
My understanding is that any engineering agreement coincides with
the construction timetable and will be allowed to be adjusted for
more than the 3% to 5% variance if a delay in funding is the cause
of a longer construction time -frame than 17 months (example: 2
winters).
Lastly, it is my understanding from our conversation that if the
delay in funding causes a delay in construction, thereby the city
not being able to meet the July 1, 1987, compliance deadline, the
city would be exempt from fines and would be asked to enter into
a stipulated time - extension, subject to available funding.
If this is an incorrect summary of information, please notify me.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

Conferees vote bill to provide
funds for state sewage plants
By Dean Rebuffeul
Staff Vfffe—r
Minnesota would receive perhaps 45
million annually over the next eight
years to build or modernize sewage -
treatment plants under a bill ap-
proved Friday by House and Senate
conferees.
That's roughly the same amount of
o federal money that Minnesota has
received annually in recent years
for such plants. It would provide a
couple of dozen ct�
Z{)
ey neeaed to rep ace outinOuru sew-
age Plants , and woula nerP--cu—r'5 the
wtT Cittes' annual discharge of 4.6
billion gallons of raw sewage into the
Mississippi River.
Also, the bill would authorize several
new programs for reducing "non-
point" water pollution — waste that
runs off farm fields, city streets and
construction sites. And it would pro-
vide money to continue cleaning up
31 Minnesota lakes, most of them in
the Twin Cities area.
The congressional action was
praised yesterday by Thomas Kali-
towski, executive director of the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA). He and other state officials
had urged Congress to renew and
strengthen the Clean Water Act, and
had opposed the Reagan administra-
tion's proposal to further reduce
funds for sewage - treatment facilities.
Kalitowski also stressed that, al-
thoagh Minnesota will continue get-
ting money for new sewage - treat-
ment plants, an estimated $1.2 bil-
lion is needed to modemize such
municipal plants and reduce the
amount of inadequately treated
waste they discharge into state wa-
ters.
If Reagan signs the Clean Water Act
bill, the next step would be for the
MPCA to decide which cities will
share the money. Kalitowski said
Minneapolis, St. Paul and South St.
Paul certainly will receive some of
that money.
Under that program, approved last
year by Gov. Rudy Perpich and the
Legislature, $6.75 million in state
and federal money is to be spent
annually for 10 years. The basic
thrust is to separate sewers that car-
ry both stormwater and sanitary
sewages. During heavy rains those
sewers overflow into the Mississippi:
Wisconsin officials have long de-
manded that the Twin Cities end the
practice.
The Clean Lakes Program, under
which the MPCA is cleaning up 31
lakes with federal financial support,
had been considered In trouble.
President Reagan had asked Con-
gress to eliminate that 14- year -old
program, but the congressional con-
ferees approved $4.5 million for it.
Minnesota has gotten about one -fifth
of the federal money allocated for
that program in recent years.
Support for continuing the program
had come from Rep. Martin Olav
Sabo, the Fifth District Democrat.
He serves on the conference cotn-
mittee that is trying to reach agree-
ment on an omnibus spending bill
that contains the money for the
Clean Lakes Program.
"This program is a prime example of
a federal, state and local partnership
that can protect a valuable natural
resource;" Sabo said yesterday. "It
has been a big success in Minnesota
primarily because of great local sup-
port and the top -notch work of state
officials."
Among the 31 lakes to be cleaned up
through the program are Lake Como
in St. Paul, the Phalen chain of lakes
in Ramsey County, and the Riley
chain of lakes in Hennepin and Car-
ver counties. Also included are the
Long Lake chain, which stretches
through Roseville, Arden Hills and
New Brighton, and the Clearwater
Lake chain in Wright, Meeker and
Steams counties.

Mier a two-year delay, Ho a
SeaaLe conferees agreed (Is
f ear a can n ci c and
„Cn a or on or sewage
.treatment fecitities in the states over
the next eight years.
, -The legislation authorizes several
programs for curbing pollution in the
nation's waters, including, for the
first time, controls on runoff from
farm land and from city streets.
Previously, the law imposed controls
only on pollution entering water
sources from specific points, such as
municipal sewage treatment plants
and factories. But runoff has been a
major source of contamination
caused by pouring agricultural
chemicals, heavy metals and other
pollutants into waterways.
The new amendments require that
stricter controls be Imposed on wa-
ters with heavy concentrations of
poisonous chemicals. They would re-
quire- the imposition of cleanup con-
trols on city storm sewer discharge
within four years. Such discharges,
another significant source of water
pollution, previously were uncon-
trolled.
The amendments provide that feder-
al grants for sewage treatment
plants be extended for another four
years, at which time the money
would be made available only in the
form of loans. Repayment of the
iians would be used to create a per -
macent revolving fund for building
sewage treatment facilities.
The Reagan administration had
asked that only $6 billion be made
available for the sewage treatment
program. When the Senate passed
legislation favoring $18 billion for
the program last year and the House
iNd so at $21 billion, the White House
sent out signals indica n a

ment reached by the conferees.
sen. john chafee, R -R.L, a key au-
thor of the legislation, said:
"I believe it would be a mistake for
the president to veto this bill. The
legislation we have crafted not only
extends the current level of funding
for construction of waste water con-
struction facilities,'it also creates a
mechanism for funding this program
well into the next century and also
tightens up on regulations necessary
to improve the quality of the nation's
rivers, takes and estuaries."

would continue to, go to older
industrial states in the East and
North rather than to the growing
western and southwestern states.
Under the plan, states would divide
$9.6 billion in grants through 1990.
Beginning in 1989, the other $8.4
billion would be distributed to allow
states to establish revolving loan
funds to help finance treatment fa-
cilities after the federal money
stops.
The compromise legislation, which
was praised by the Natural Re-
sources Defense Council, the Nation-
al Wildlife Federation and other en-
vtronmentai groups, is expected to
be given final approval in the House
and Senate early next week.
The agreement on the bill came only
three days after Congress sent Presi-
dent Reagan legislation, strongly op-
posed by the White House, to pump
$9 billion into a "superfund" for tox-
ic waste cleanups over the next five
years.
Also pending in congress IB an omni-
bus $16.3 billion spending package
for dams, harbors and other water-
way projects. The administration
backs this bill because it will force
local interests to begin paying a
share of these Corps of Engineers
projects.
