quired names on a petition were obtained by September 30. City Attor-

quired to hold a special meeting to act on the petition.

ditional use permit issued for a board and lodging home. It appeared

(g) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ATTORNEY JAMES SCHAEFER
Attorney Schaefer reported he had contacted 11 property owners regard-
ing easements for the proposed wastewater treatment plant. Four addi-
tional names of out -lot property owners were also obtained and con-
tacted. Since the 3M Company gave an easement to the utilities, he
didn't foresee any problem with the City getting one from the company.
It was determined Attorney Schaefer should attempt to obtain both sur-
face and underground easements from the property owners, but the under-
ground easement was most crucial at this point. The City Attorney sug-
gested the Council consider what action would be taken if one or more
property owners refused to give an easement. It was his suggestion to
use eminent domain proceedings, if time permitted.
(h) COMMUNICATIONS FROM DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING MARLOW V. PRIEBE
Engineer Priebe reported there was some additional survey work to be
done for some of the wastewater treatment plant easements and request-
ed to hire Pellinen Land Surveying for the survey. Alderman Carls

seconded by Alderman Torgerson and unanimously carried.
It was reported that bids were received today for project No. 86 -15,
and Engineer Priebe recommended awarding the bid to Wm. Mueller, low
bidder, at the amount of $24,076.78. The motion was made by Alderman
Carls to award the bid to Wm. Mueller. Motion seconded by Alderman
Mlinar and unanimously carried.
City Administrator Plotz stated that today he had received a legal
opinion from Newell Weed's attorney stating the City's subdivision
ordinance regarding cul -de -sacs did not apply to Greencastle, and their
proposal had met all requirements. It was his recommendation to con-
tinue the awarding of bid to the next meeting and take no action at
this tinme. Alderman Carls withdrew his motion.
The City Engineer commented that the curb and gutter section recently
replaced on Century Avenue did not retain its proper alignment and
grade and will have to be replaced. The Greencastle management was
informed the correction should be done this construction season.
The Council was informed that TKDA will be presenting the costs study
for County Ditch 18 to the County Board on September 30.
Today Engineer Priebe received a layout from MN /DOT for the Hwy. 15
South improvement project, with a July 1987 letting. The layout wi11
require Council approval. It was the consensus of the Council to in-
vite the affected property owners to a public hearing with a MN /DOT
representative present at the meeting. Alderman Torgerson moved to set
a public hearing for October 28, 1986 at 8:00 P.M. Motion seconded by
Alderman Carls and unanimously carried.

Councilman Pat Mikulecky
Members absent: Don Pankake and Ed Connelly
Invited guest: Jim Weckman
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Doug McGraw at 7:00 p.m.
and the following business matters were discussed:
Considerable discussion followed regarding the applications received
for the manager /mechanic position. (List attached) After reviewing a prior
job description and changing the wording slightly, Ralph Neumann was
directed to mail this job description along with a letter commenting that a
certain amount of negotiation may be necessary to satisfy the applicants.
A motion was made and unanimously passed that the City not try to enter
into the ASCS set aside farm land program.
A motion was made and unanimously passed not to install radio
controlled runway lights as not being cost effective.
A motion was made and unanimously passed to set a gas fuel mark -up
policy of taking the cost of fuel plus freight, adding a 15% mark -up, plus
aviation fuel tax, plus $.05 per gallon. This formula will be for both 80
and 100 octane fuel.
Ralph Neumann was instructed to send a letter to Clayton Peterson, Leo
Lamecker and John Miller informing them they have 90 days to replace their
aircraft or they will loose their hangar space.
The City policy on allocating hangar space was reviewed and approved.
Residents living within the city limits have priority in obtaining space,
all others will be on a waiting list with the individual at the top of the
list being first to acquire hangar space. No fee will be changed for open
air tie -down space.
Ralph Neumann mentioned his conversation with Gary Plotz regarding any
personal liability which Commission members may occur because of their
association with the airport. They were assured that according to Gary Plotz
they were covered under the City's insurance policy.
Neumann commented that skirting around the CAP trailer should be
installed shortly, also their electric meter charges will go directly to the
CAP.
The Commission was brought up to date on the purchase of a new unicorn
radio in conjuntion with state funds.
Jim Weckman commented that a friend of his is willing to build a hangar
on airport land if an agreement can be worked out. Doug McGraw will appear
at the September 23rd, 1986 City Council meeting making a presentation for
the "consideration of leasing airport land for private construction of
hangars."

SEPTEMBER 3, 1986
MEMBERS PRESENT: Roy Johnsen, Lyle Block, Roger Raggenmiller, Barry Anderson
MEMBERS ABSENT: Betsy Connelly, Pat Mikulecky
GUESTS PRESENT: Ken Merrill, Don Shaffer, Ted Larsen, Chuck Holmsten
The meeting was called to order by chairman Lyle Block at 5:36 PM.
LIONS CLUB HALLOWEEN PARTY
Ted Larsen, Lions Club Halloween Party chairperson, appeared in front of the
board to request that the Recreation Center be this years site for the annual
Halloween Party. The party is to take place on Friday, October 31st from
6:00- 9:00 PM. However they would require the use of the building for the
entire day. All set -up and take -down will be performed by Lion's Members he
said. Since this is a community function, the Lion's.Club has requested that
all rents be waived for the building.
Roy Johnsen motioned that we waive the rent but charge a clean -up fee of $80 to
$100. Roger Haggenmiller seconded the motion, the board unanimously agreed and
the motion was carried.
Regarding refreshments, the board agreed that they will be allowed in the gym
for that night but suggested that the Club waive the Mini - Donuts for the
evening.
HOLMSTEN ICE RINKS
Chuck Holmsten of Holmsten Ice Rinks appeared in front of the board to explain
the existing problem with the floor caused by excessive frost. The floor has
heaved and cracked and needs to be repaired or replaced.
After reviewing the facility as well as the refrigeration system, Holmsten
feels that there are two basic options available for the renovation of the
Civic Arena.
The first option would be to remove and replace the cracked portion of the ice
rink floor. This section is approximately 25' x 200'. He also would recommend
that insulation be placed underneath the brine mains as well as on the rink's
side wall to prevent frost from damaging the new concrete slab. This could all
be done for approximately $44,600. The entire process would take about 4 - 6
weeks.
The second option would be to remove the existing refrigeration system, and all
concrete in the rink area,.and replace the entire refrigeration system with a
46 new 68 ton Holmsten Direct Liquid Refrigeration system.
4,)(,j-
This system would include a refrigeration package, matching evaporative
condenser, all refrigeration piping, insulation, vapor barrier, rebar, mesh,
expansion joint, and a new 5' concrete floor. Budget price for this new
refrigeration system would be $233,000.
Installation of this complete system would cost approximately $50,000.
Volunteer labor could substantially reduce this figure. In addition, if the
existing sub soil heat system is not operational, we could install a complete
sub soil heat system for approximately $20,000. This whole process
could be completed in 8 - 12 weeks.
Holmsten also said that option 1 would be an adequate way to fix the existing
system. However, they have no way of guaranteeing that this repair would
correct the problem.
There is a third option. Hoimsten has a reconditioned 135 ton unit being stored in
their warehouse. A unit of this size would provide year -round ice. The price
on this three year old unit would be dropped $15,000 and double the size of the
existing system.
YOUTH BDCKKY
Youth Hockey President, Don Shaffer is requesting a new, larger warming house
to be located at the skating rink on the west side of the arena. Also they are
requesting a rubber runway from the warming house to the rink. They feel that
the youth hockey program has grown so such and they will be continuing to make
use of this outdoor rink. Don also mentioned that in the future they would
like to have a small office inside the arena.
BUBOBT CONSIDERATIONS
Hen Merrill presented the 1987 proposed budget. The board recommended that the
council appoint a committee to study the problems with the current ice- making
system at the arena and make recommendations for future improvements. The
other consideration not included in the budget is a bikeway on Roberts Road
leading to Roberts Park.
RELOCATION OF AFS MEMORIAL TREE GROVE
The board discussed the problem with the trees dyng in the AFS Memorial Tree
Grove and approved their request for the relocation of the grove.
Barry motioned to approve the relocation of the AFS Memorial Tree Grove. Roy
seconded the motion and the board unanimously agreed.
The grove will be located at Bridge Park Bast just south of Happy Chef.
BID FOR NATIONAL TOURNAMENT 0
The board agreed that we should bid on the 1987 & 1988 Women's Modified
National Tournament.

DUTCH ELM DISEASE UPDATE:
Schnobrich reported that as of date, 106 trees were tagged for
removal. Eighty -five of which were diseased elm, 21 were other
species. This is the best year ever since the program of
organized control was begun in 1978.
FLOWER BEDS:
The flower beds were not their normal size or beauty this year.
Repair was made to the Firemens Park pond. A new inlet with
fresh water and a surface drain was installed. This will help
to keep the water in the pond clear.
WEED ORDINANCE:
A memo to the Park Board, Tree Board, and City Council was
written and submitted by Schnobrich regarding three areas;
inspection by complaint only, agricultural designation
and also state and county right -of -ways. These areas are not
specifically mentioned in the existing ordinance and probably
should be.
LIBRARY SQUARE MASTER PLAN:
Due to personnel and time constraints, no progress was made on
the Master Plan this summer. Two elms were removed from the park
due to DED this year. Murray Swenson reminded the board that
adequate space should be provided for the Arts and Crafts Show in
the park when planning the over all design.
FORESTRY REVENUE:
Firewood permits: $434.00
Wee Sales: 566.00

The board would like to make a request to the council
funds generated by forestry activities be utilized to
more tree purchases. This policy was abandoned a few

NEW SITE FOR THE AFS TREE GROVE:
The AFS Tree Grove, currently located at the extreme northeast
corner of Roberts Park, is not ideally suited for a diverse
tree planting area. By request of Jay Beytien and Carol Haukos,
a new site was proposed. The location would be directly behind
Happpy Chef Resturant and due east of School Road on the north
banks of rho Crow River. This section of park land would be
designated as LhC new AFS Cruve Site. it provides adequate
space for continued plantings, and would be easily recognizable
from School Road as a special planting area.

meeting to show a film on city manager form of government put out by
the International League of Cities. Discussion followed on the under -
standing of the position of City Manager as to the hiring and firing of
city directors.
Mayor Ackland attended to express his views on several items:
He stated that the City Councl is ready to address the position
of Administrator versus Manager form of government, and whether
the Commission would be completed with their reviewal of the
Charter in the near future. Chairman Carlson commented they may
be finished by early Spring but no time -line is being followed.
Mayor Ackland suggested that the Charter Commission meet again
with the City Council to gain a clearer understanding of the City
Manager position and the changes it brings about. He also
suggested that the Commission meet with the Mayor of a city now
implementing this type of system.
Phil Graves also suggested the possibility of hiring someone to
conduct a training session on the manager position as it might
relate to the City of Hutchinson.
Walt Clay felt it would be beneficial to show the film on the
Council Manager - Plan to the City Council to help explain the
system.
The Mayor also stated his views concerning a larger Utility
Commission with a council member serving on the Commission.
is in favor of commission members serving in terms as opposed
to the present system and he also agrees that they should be a

TO: BUILDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FROM: DICK BURGART, CHAIRMAN
DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1986
RE: PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL
As of our last meeting, the decision had been made to make a
formal informational presentation to the entire City
Council. The purpose of the presentation would be to bring
them up to speed on the status of the project. An informal
r/ decision was also made to attend the council meeting on
September-23 to make the presentation.
Since our last meeting, and after discussions with Vergil
Florhaug of CAM, and several of the committee members, I
have requested Gary Plotz to put us on the agenda for the
meeting of October 14.
. The concensus of opinion was that I should make the basic
presentation, on behalf of the Committee, and that CAM and
Thorbeck & Lambert would be at the meeting to answer any
technical questions.
The three week delay in the presentation really does not
affect anything since we have decided to wait until spring
for the bidding.
Unless it something new comes up, there will not be a need to
meet until after the 14th of October.

that in case of noncompliance such work will be done by the municipality at
the expense of the owner and that if unpaid, the charge for such work will be

entire growing season said grasses or weeds are at a height greater than eight
(8) inches, the municipality will have the authority to have such weeds cut and
removed.

each separate lot and parcel and shall deliver such information to the Clerk.

Per your request, I have completed an appraisal of the
property located at 115 Franklin Street North, Hutchinson,
Minnesota 55350.
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market
value of Fee Simple Title of the property as of September 9, 1986.
Market value is defined in the body of the report.
Value influencing conditions are reported whatever their nature
and whenever they are found, analyzed and adjusted for their
impact on the subject property value.
It is the opinion of this appraiser that the appraisal process
employed indicates a market value of $15,000.00 ( see notes
about conditional market value if variance is obtained.)
Sincerely,
Richard A. Field

RESIDENTIAL APPRAISAL REPORT
ADDENDUM
1. There is a law on the books of the City of Hutchinson to the effect that
no residential structure located in a commercial and /or flood zone may be
repaired and /or remodeled in an amount in excess of 10% of the total value
of the property in any one year.
2. I have consulted with Mr. Honer Pitman, of the City of Hutchinson, anc his
interpretation of the said law is that an owner may be retrained from effect-
ing extensive repairs on a commercial /flood zone house by the simple expedient
of denying a building permit.
3. Subject house is in need of repairs well in excess of 10% of the total
value in today's market.
a. The heating plant has been removed.
b. Most of the kitchen cabinets 5 countertops have been removed (see pies).
c. The electrical system is out -dated
d. The plumbing system is out - dated.
e. There are NO CLOSETS in the bedrooms.
9. If only 10% of the value of subject house (about $2,000.00) can be spent
in any one year, then the subject house would remain unhabitable for at
least three years and possibly up to six years.
5. If the subject house were to remain vacant for, say, five years, during
which Lime it was gradually brought up to code, then the economic loss
of utility (or rents S income) would become a significant detrimental
factor in the estimation of its value in today's market. I will postulate
an expected rate of return of 12% per annum. This would total . in exxcess
of $12,000.00.
6. Conclusion: The highest and best value of the subject is not a residential
single family detached structure.
7. The only allowable alternate use is as a commercial lot (building site.)
8. There are no recent sales of unimproved commercial building sites from
which to draw comparables. There are 3 old sales in East Hutchinson which
would indicate a (then) value of $19,000.00 (on the average) for such sites.
9. A time adjustment factor of about 15% should be used from the period of
razed house /commercial site sales to the present. This yields a current
value for commercial building sites of about $16,000.00.
10. FINAL CONCLUSION: If a variance can be obtained so that the subject house
could be improved to code immediately, then the indicated market value of
subject property is $20,500.00. If such a variance can not be obtained,
and /or if owner chooses not to undertake necessary improvements, then the
indicated market value of subject property is commercial site value less
costs of razing and removal of about $1,000.00, or
..........................$15, 000.00.........................
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: a, moat preb able prix which a pegerty Omtd Mitt u a tatmpat I ad open
mull main all conditions requisia in whir sale, the buyer and serer, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and warming
- the is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in Our definition is the consummation of a We as of a specified date
and the passing of tide front seller to buyer under cons items whereby ". (le buyer and seller am typically motivated: (2) bah
parties are well Informed or well advised, and each acting in what he considers his awn best interest; (31 a neasomeble tint
is allmed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial
arogetrcna romparoble therein; and (5) the prix represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by
' special or exmive fisting or sales concessions* graved by at"" aeociaed with the We.
s o
Adjus aims, the comparabies tors, be mad a re
e for special creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments anecessary for Dose costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area;. these costs are
I readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions. Special or ceativ+e financing adjusttenes
can he made to the comparable property by comparisons to financing terms offered by a third party institutional lender that
1 is trot already involved in the property or transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for
t dollar con of the financing or concession but the dollar acoum of any adjustment should approximaa the market's reaction
0 the financing or concessions based on the appraiser's judgment.

FROM: GARY PLOTZ, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: REPORT ON MEETING WITH SANCTUARY BOARD MEMBERS
Regarding the wildlife sanctuary, the Chairman of the Wildlife
Sanctuary Board, Skip Quade, and Virgil Voigt met with Mayor
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.

Please be advised on the attached meeting summary that will be

In addition, Skip Quade notified the Mayor and myself that a well
supplying 100 gallons per minute will not meet peak demand at the
sanctuary, at times, 200 gallons per minute are needed in winter to
keep the water open. The 240' depth of the proposed will may also
pose iron problems, as the screen (acid cleaning for iron deposits)
may have to be cleaned every three years, at an estimated cost
of $1,500.

Re: Step III Negotiations
Dear Mr. Plotz:

, e_ y --K
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated September
25, 1986. The letter referred to actions taken at the September
23, 1986 council meeting. Donohue & Associates, Inc, recognizes
that the City of Hutchinson is concerned about incurring costs
which they may consider unnecessary.
We have re- evaluated the fixed fee portion of our project and
feel that it is necessary to inform you of some of the items that
make up the fixed fee. It is not truly a profit as has been
referred to on a number of occasions. Due to the auditing
procedures followed by the funding agencies, certain items are
not allowed to be included in our overhead calculations. The
cost of these items must be considered fixed costs which is part
of the fixed fee. A number of those items, which our company
must deal with, within this fixed fee area include the following:
1. Bad Debts - Our company, as any other in business, must
deal with bad debts, i.e. clients which will not pay
their bills.
2. Contributions - Our firm is socially conscious, and does
make contributions to groups such as Little League
baseball.
3. Cash Flow - In order to meet payroll on a regular
scheduled basis, because of cash flow difficulties, we
must borrow money. The cost of borrowing this money
amounts to $350,000.00 per year. This occurs because,
in our type of work, there is anywhere from six weeks to
three months before we actually see money from our
clients for the work that has been performed. Our
employees expect to be paid on a bi- weekly basis.
4. Advertising - Advertising brochures, which were given to
each of you during our initial contacts, more than a
year ago, are a necessary part of the business when it
comes to educating potential clients. The costs of
these brochures are also ineligible, but amount to
approximately $150,000.00 per year.

5. Client Newsletter - All of you receive a copy of our
client newsletter, which describes a variety of projects
which our company is involved with. These are used,,
obviously for advertising, as well as educating our
clients on Donohue capabilities. The cost of this
production is $20,000.00 per year.
All of the above costs are fixed costs that reduce the "profit"
in the fixed fee. Based on our latest financial analysis these
items or "fixed costs" total approximately $70,000 of the
$143,095 fixed fee.
In addition to the above, it would be appropriate to point out
that our gross profit is subject to Federal and State Income
Taxes which usually amount to more than 50% of the gross profit.
Combined with all of the above items you can see that the actual
"profit" on a project based on the overall cost of business is
significantly less than you may perceive.
our construction personnel have reviewed the project and feel
that, if the contractor is working on the site April let, that it
can be completed, in 17 months without impairing the quality of
work. The engineering costs as defined are based on a 17 month
construction period.
The construction costs will be impacted by the reduced
construction schedule. The original 22 months schedule was
established based on the norm for construction on this type of a
project. As we stated to you earlier, there may be additional
costs of construction because of premium time paid by the
contractor and /or the need for additional construction crews.
As requested we have discussed this matter within our firm based
on the revised scope of work we would propose to reduce our fixed
fee as shown in your letter of September 25th to $1.
i will be attsndin the council meetin on October 14th and look
�bl� orwar to d acussing the item s letter with e City
Council. If you have any questions, please contact this office.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: Change In Work Scope And Negotiations
for Phase III - Hutchinson Wastewater
Treatment Plant
Dear Mike:
The Hutchinson City Council at its regular meeting of September 23, 1986
received and reviewed the correspondence from James Miller dated Septem-
ber 17, 1986. Specifically, the discussion centered on two separate areas:
(1) scope of services, and (2) an offer on the fixed fee (profit).
Regarding scope of services, the Council unanimously favored Option III for
$1,059,300, plus adding Donohue for all the surveying work at $31,000, thus
totaling $1,090,300. Regarding the $143,000 fixed fee profit included in
the total engineering fee, the Council is asking for a reduction of the fixed
fee from $143,000 to $75,000, therefore a reduction of $68,000. This is il-
lustrated as follows:
$1,059,300 Reduction in Scope of Services
(17 months)
31,000 Surveying Work Added
(68,000) Fixed Fee (from $143,000 to $75,000)
$1,022,300
Please discuss the above offer within your firm and respond to the City Council
in writing. If I could receive your correspondence on or before October 8, 1986,
it could be placed on the City Council agenda for October 14, 1986.
Lastly, the City Council wanted assurance that the project would be completed
within 17 months without impairing construction/ engineering costs or quality.
Please respond to this also.
Sincerely,

RE: Power Factor Rate Reduction
Dear Sirs:
Hutchinson Utilities Commission is aware that a number of
customers have experienced difficulty in managing their
power factor at the 98% level which has been in effect
under the Large General Service rate.
Effective with the October billing, Hutchinson Utilities
Commission would like to reduce the power factor require-
ment from 98% to 94 %. This is a level which can be more
economically obtained and managed.
Hutchinson Utilities Commission will work diligently
with all customers to resolve any problems involving the
implementation of this new rate.

ELECTRIC LARGE GENERAL SERVICE
CODE 040 CODE 041
APPLICABILITY:
Applicable to any customer for combined power and lighting with
a minimum demand of 50 kilowatts for single or three phrase electric
service supplied through one meter at the secondary voltage at
that location.
Demand Charge: $3.65 per kilowatt of demand per month.
Energy Charge:
First 2000 KWH per month - -- 6.08t per KWH
Next 2000 KWH per month - -- 5.021, per KWH
Excess KWH per month - -- 4.491 per KWH
MINIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE:
753 of the maximum demand charge.
SERVICE AT PRIMARY VOLTAGE:
If service is taken at the primary voltage available at the
customer's location and the customer assumes all cost of owner-
ship, maintenance and replacement of connection facilities
except metering, a discount of 53 will be allowed. This adjust-
ment includes the discount for primary metering.
METERING AT PRIMARY VOLTAGE:
If, at the discretion of the utility, service is metered at
primary voltage, a 23 discount will be allowed on energy charge.
The above rates are based on an assumed average monthly power
factor of not more than 943. Under no conditions shall the power
factor be allowed to go leading.
The power factor may be determined by permanently installed metering
equipment or by periodic tests under normal operating conditions.
The Commission reserves the right to measure such power factor at
any time. If the power factor is below 943, the demand for bill -
ing purposes shall be the metered demand multiplied by 943, and
the product thereof divided by the monitored power factor in
percent.
No adjustment shall be made if the power factor is 943.
This rate is subject to Power Cost Adjustment
11
EXAMPLE
Customer with an 80% Power Factor and 200 KW Demand
Present rate schedule
200 KW x .98 power factor = 196 KW
196 KW + .80 power factor = 245 KW
245 KW x $3.65 = $894.25
Customer with an 80% Power Factor and 200 KW Demand
Proposed rate schedule
200 KW x .94 power factor = 188 KW
188 KW + .80 power factor = 235 KW
235 KW x $3.65 = 857.75
Savings $ 36.50

SUBJECT: CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE CONSULTANT AGREEMENT
The City employs Mark Flaten, American Risk Services, to provide his
expertise on reviewing the City's insurance coverages and start a risk
management program.
Each entity (Hospital, Burns Manor, Utilities, and City) was included in his
service agreement. On an annual basis, each entity would pay $2,400 for a
total of $9,600 /year or $800 /month (all entities).
The initial agreement was for two months. The accomplishments were as
follows:
1. Transition from Home Insurance (former carrier) to the League of
Cities carrier; review of new contracts, including depth of
coverages and exclusions.
2. Negotiated down the method of service charges with local agent.
3. Negotiated from a position of no river dam coverage whatsoever to a
point of obtaining coverage for personal injury (acct ents, etc.)
with the only exclusion being for damages and injury resulting from
bursting of the dam.
4. Recommended raising the city's deductible to $5,000 per occurrence.
This has been implemented and has resulted in a premium reduction of
$40,766.
5. Met with some of the City directors, thus far, and personally
visited several City departments to become knowledgeable of the
potential liability exposures. This is a first step in his risk
management program.
In conclusion, the expertise has been valuable to the City. I would report
that each of the other entities (Hospital, Utilities, and Burns Manor
administrators) desire the expertise of Mark Flaten to continue.

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
1028:10 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 section for comparison with our current ordinance. i
am also 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 Subd. 1E. This
subdivision permits outdoor storage of pioneer, classic,
collector vehicles, or street rods, licensed or unlicensed,

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.
f" Please review these various sections and provide me
-[with your thoughts on this matter.
Sincerely yours,

future.
"The city shall be reimbursed the actual costs of treating the
waste; plus fines, if any; plus a surcharge of $500 or 10% of the
(actual cost plus fine), whatever is greater."
In this particular case this billing would be:

Re: Public Utility Commission and City Financing and Tax Reform Act of 1986
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
It has been brought to my attention that the Public Utility Commission will be
asking the City Council to approve the issuance of bonds.
The new Tax Reform Act contains conditions and limitations regarding the
issuance of debt by a city, including these bonds, for all its municipal
purposes. Unless careful planning and coordination of all municipal issues is
• undertaken, some of the bonds could be issued at higher than necessary rates.
Notwithstanding actions of the P.U.C., these bonds will be City of Hutchinson
debt bearing the name of the City of Hutchinson. To insure that these bonds
are offered in the market in the same manner as other City issues, it would be
prudent and responsible for the City to select its Financial Advisor and Bond
Counsel for this issue. The City Council will also be assured of coordination
of all financings, especially during the next fifteen months when City needs
for the Wastewater Treatment Facility and 1987 improvements are critical. If
the Public Utility Commission desires to engage separate finance and legal
advisors, they may do so. However, to maintain the City's rating, it will be
necessary to prepare a comprehensive plan and presentation to convince Moody's
that the City merits an A rating.
•
During the past few years we have been asked by City officials to provide
advice to City agencies such as the Nursing Home Board and Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. Most recently the P.U.C. requested advice regarding
this issue. We endorse the planning that has taken place in Hutchinson and
encourage the City to continue.

I recommend the City Council authorize and direct Ehlers and Associates to
assist City staff in preparing a comprehensive plan for the City's upcoming
financing requirements and prepare an Official Statement for an offering prior
to December 31, 1986. The plan should be the most responsible financing
package considering the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the City's prior 1986
outstanding offerings. It would be advisable to authorize Dorsey and Whitney
as bond counsel.

455.51. Intent
mew Sections 453.51 to 453.62 are intended to provide a means for those Minnesota cities
which now or hereafter own and operate a utility pursuant to law for the local distribution
of electric energy to secure, by individual or joint action among themselves or by contract
with other public or private entities within or outside the state, an adequate, economical,
and reliable supply of energy. It is also the purpose of sections 453.51 to 453.62 to
provide a means for Minnesota cities to construct and operate hydroelectric generating
plants. To accomplish these purposes it is necessary for such cities to have power, by
agreement between or among two or more of their number, to create a separate municipal
corporation with the power and authority to finance and acquire facilities for the
generation or transmission of electric energy, or interests in such facilities or rights to
part of all of the capacity thereof. It is determined that an adequate, economical, and
reliable supply of electric energy is essential to the orderly growth and prosperity of
rtY for these communities, and a shortage of such energy is inimical to the safety, health, morale,
and welfare of residents of the state and to the sound growth and developments of its
communities. Such a shortage exists and is expected to continue or increase because of
the difficulty, among others, in the operation of municipal generating plants, of achieving
economies of size, limiting environmental impacts, and providing for peak loads. Accord-
ingly it is determined that the exercise of the powers granted herein will benefit the
people of the state and serve a valid public purpose in improving and otherwise promoting
July 1, their health, welfare, and prosperity.

agreement or bylaws prescribe otherwise, a meeting of the board of directors may be held
at any place, within or without the state, designated by the board, after notice, and an act
of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the
act of the board. Except where the agency agreement or bylaws prescribe otherwise, any
vacancy occurring on the board shall be filled by a person nominated by the remaining
members of the board and elected by a majority of representatives of the member cities.
Subd. 7. Except where the agency agreement or bylaws prescribe otherwise, the
board of directors shall appoint a president from its membership, and a secretary and
treasurer, and any other officers or agents deemed to be necessary, who may but need
not be city representatives or directors. An officer may be removed with or without
cause by the board of directors. Officers of the municipal power agency shall have the
authority and duties in the management of the business of the municipal power agency
that the agency agreement or bylaws prescribe, or, in the absence of such prescription, as
the board of directors determines.
Subd. 8. Except as otherwise provided in the agency agreement or the bylaws, the
duly authorized representatives of each member city shall act as, and vote on behalf of,
such city. Except where the agency agreement or bylaws provide otherwise, representa-
tives of the member cities shall hold at least one meeting each year for the election of

member cities. Each amendment and the resolutions approving it shall be filed for record
with the secretary of state.

revenues or funds of the municipal power agency and that neither the state nor any
Political subdivision thereof, other than the municipal power agency, nor any city which is

that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the state or any political
subdivision thereof or of any such city is pledged to the payment of the principal of or the
interest on the bonds or notes. Nothing herein, however, precludes the use of tax or
other revenue by a city for payment of amounts due and performance of covenants under
any contract of the city as provided in section 8, subdivision 3.

453.57. Rules and rates
A municipal power agency may make and enforce bylaws or rules which it deems
necessary or desirable, and may establish, levy, and collect or may authorize, by contract,
franchise, lease, or otherwise, the establishment, levying, and collection of, rents, rates,
and other charges for the services afforded by the municipal power agency or by or in
connection with any project or properties which it may construct, erect, acquire, own,

Laws 1976, c. 313, § 7, eff. April 14, 1976.
453.58. City powers
Subdivision 1. A city may by resolution of its governing body exercise any of the
powers granted in sections 453.51 to 453.62 to a municipal power agency, upon fulfillment
of the conditions provided in sections 453.51 to 453.62 for the exercise of any such power,
but without complying with the terms of section 453.53 hereof relating to incorporation,
and notwithstanding any provision of any city charter or any other law denying, limiting,
or placing conditions upon the exercise of any such power. Nothing in this section shall
be construed to repeal any charter provision or law requiring an election or other
condition precedent to the establishment after January 1, 1976, of a city electric energy
distribution system.
Subd. 2. Every resolution adopted in accordance with subdivision 1 shall be published
in the official newspaper of the city. No action may be brought and no defense may be
interposed in an action brought more than 30 days after publication of the resolution,
placing at issue the validity of any provision of the resolution or the power of the city to
make any contract or to issue any bond, note, or other obligation authorized thereby.
Subd. 3. Nothing in sections 453.51 to 453.62 authorizes any city to issue general
obligation bonds for any purpose specified in sections 453.51 to 453.62, without approval
of its electors or performance of such other procedural conditions as may be required by
its charter or the laws of this state. A city may, however, by resolution of its governing
body and without approval of the electors or performance of other conditions provided in
any charter or other law, enter into contracts with a municipal power agency for the
purchase, sale, exchange, or transmission of electric energy and other services, on such
terms and for such period of time as the resolution may provide. A city may appropriate
and use tax and other revenues received in any year to make payments due or to comply
with covenants to be performed during that year under any contract made by the city
when acting as a municipal power agency, or any contract made by the city with a
municipal power agency, as contemplated by sections 453.51 to 453.62, subject to the
provisions of its charter and the laws of this state regarding budget and payment
procedures and annual tax levy limitations.
Subd. 4. No taxation of property; intent. (a) Notwithstanding anything in sections
453.51 to 453.62 to the contrary, a city, by the exercise of any or all of the powers granted
in sections 453.51 to 453.62, is not subject to any duty under section 453.64, subdivision
20, to pay amounts in lieu of taxes on any of its property. The sale or distribution o
electric energy to private persons shall not cause a project to be treated as not useq
exclusively for a public purpose.

C.J.S. Gas § 18.
453A.01. Intent
Sections 453A.01 to 453A.12 are intended to provide a means for those Minnesota cities
which now or hereafter own and operate a utility pursuant to law for the local distribution
of gas to secure, by individual action or joint action among themselves or by contract with
other public or private entities within or outside the state, an adequate, economical, and
reliable supply of gas. To accomplish this purpose it is necessary for such cities to have
power, by agreement between or among two or more of their number, to create a
separate municipal corporation with the power and authority to finance, acquire, operate
and dispose of, either as owner or agent, projects, located within or outside the state, for
the production, exploration, transmission or storage of gas resources and to enter into
contracts relating to the acquisition, operation, disposal or leasing of related projects or
sale of related services. It is not the purpose of sections 453A.01 to 453A.12 to authorize
said municipal corporation to engage in the distribution of gas to the end users. It is
determined that an adequate, economical, and reliable supply of gas is essential to the
orderly growth and prosperity of these communities, and a supply of such gas is
necessary for the safety, health, morale and welfare of residents of the state and to the
sound growth and development of its communities. The formation of municipal gas
agencies will provide a means for Minnesota cities to provide an adequate, economic and
reliable supply of gas by, among other things, achieving economies of size, limiting
environmental impacts, and providing for peak and supplemental loads. Accordingly it is
determined that the exercise of the powers granted herein will benefit the people of the
state and serve a valid public purpose in improving and otherwise promoting their health,
welfare, and prosperity.
Laws 1979, c. 140, f 1.
453A.02. Definitions
Subdivision 1. The terms defined in this section have the following meanings whenev-
er used in sections 453A.01 to 453A.12 unless the context requires otherwise.
Subd. 2. "Agency agreement" means the written agreement between or among two
or more cities establishing a municipal gas agency.

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: GARY PLOTZ
SUBJECT: STATE DOT APPRAISALS FOR HWY 0 WEST SERVICE ROAD
The Willmar office of DOT is willing to do appraisal work, as
their time permits, for the proposed Hwy 7 West service road.
Marlow has stated that before "total cost" estimates are prepared, the
land appraisals need to be completed. The appraisals are based on
time and materials, as were the airport appraisals.
We need the council to determine if all the "options" under
discussion to date are to be appraised. These alternatives are
shown in the attached map from Marlow.
Please indicate how many of the alternatives shown to date should
be appraised.
The state DOT Wants to know the scope of services, before an appraisal
contract is drawn up. Another alternative, not discussed to date,
is to have a private appraiser perform this work. Again, the scope
of services needs to be defined. See attached map.

As of this date, no easements have been signed. I have
obtained the fallowing responses to my communications:
1. Suzanne Potter has offered to give the
" muncipality an easement to the necessary
property lying on the Lot D. She proposes to
sell to the City all of Lots 16, 17 & 18.
This sale would be in exchange for receipt of -
$21000.
2. Gerald Blake will give a 15 foot easement west
of the township road and _easement along the
township road. For the ;easement east of the
roadway, he requests an agreement whereby the
municipality would not in the future assess
his property for curb, gutter, storm sewer or
municipal water.
3. Lorraine Treinen has offered to Sell Lot A to
the City for the sum of $2,000. The City
would pick up back taxes in an amount of
$54.58 and be responsible taxes due in 1986.
The City would also be responsible for all
filing fees and drafting of documents
necessary to remove her deceased husband from
the title and to transfer title from her to
the municipality.
4. I have discussed the easement with Gerald
Hemerick and Thomas Radtke# but they have made
no definite commitment.
5. I have discussed this matter with Wayne Oliva,
clerk of the Hassan Valley Township. Mr.
Oliva has requested from Marlow certain
documents and the Hassan Valley Township will
be reviewing our requests on Tuesday, October

Based upon my initial discussions with the property owners, I
feel that progress could be made.in obtaining the easements if
the easements were limited to the Wastewater Treatment
Facility Forced Main and Water Main easements. Many of the
property owners feel that by granting a roadway easement, they
are leaving themselves open to annexation and further
assessments for other municipal improvements. I have
discussed this matter with Marlow and he agrees that if it
would expedite obtaining easements for the Wastewater
Treatment Facility, the roadway easement could be eliminated.
I would suggest that a meeting between a representative of the
Council, the Township board, the property owners themselves,
the City Engineer and the City Attorney be arranged to discuss
this procedure, and answer any questions that the citizens may
have. If such direct negotiations do not prove to be
fruitful, authorization to initate eminent domain proceedings
may be necessary.

Eir1CIJSCN COM?DNrl'Y ENERGY COUNCIL
The Hutchinson Cannnity Energy Council met at 7 p.m. on Thursday,
September 18, 1.986 in the City Council dnambers.
Present: Burtch Wentworth, Chairman
Glenn Matejka
Hugh Foster
Absent: Ken Prihoda
Jay Beytien
Guests: Steve Hamilton, Energy Coordinator, New Ulm
Others: Gary Plotz
Chairman an I.C1rbwoi th called the meeting to order and distributed copies
of the correspondence of September 16 announcing the approval of the energy
grant request, plus a copy of the actual grant application.
Mr. Steven Hamilton, Energy Coordinator of New Ulm was introduced as the
evening's special guest. Steve summarized the New Ulm program as follows:
1. The public utility began by hiring an energy coordinator. Steve
has been with the city in this capacity for 2;s years. Formerly he was
residential energy auditor with a private firm that contracted with
NSP for audits. He is a graduate of Mankato State University with a
degree in the area of energy management and conservation.
2. The utility originally started with residential energy audits.
Ere however noted that the greatest energy savings are with businesses.
3. The utility has now gotten into business energy audits, primarily
a walk- through analysis. No specialists for in depth audits have begun
yet.
4. The energy coordinator has mailed out a survey to 388 businesses
With a return rate of 358.
5. Subsequent to the survey response, a follow -up one c n -one meeting
with the business is done. At that tine a computer printout presentation
is done called an "energy consumption analysis." The energy consumption
analysis is utilized to make same une al oampariscns on energy usage and
coat. Generally this analysis is Z-90 to obtain the business's "attention"
to potential prcblem(s).
The comparisons use other commercial buildings in the community of a
similar general usage and square footage. County assessor records were
Utilized in the comparisons. In addition, general energy usage guidelines
arc available from the state energy agency.
6. Several energy loan programs are either in place or in the development
stage. One of the programs in place uses funds from a FUD Block Grand.
The program is a revolving loan at 58.
0
Mi
A second program is currently under consideration, using $100,000 -
$150,000 of the public utilities fund balance or reserves. Appradnately
$100,000 would be used for commercial loans and $50,000 residential loans.
A third program is called an "energy performance contact." This concept
has begun with a solicitation of proposals, called a "request for
qualifications" whereby a general contractor secures the financing. The
financing is paid bKk by the monthly saving in utilities for up to a
10 year period. The cities of Burnsville and Hoyt lakes are also
part of this program. More information can be secured from Mr. Mike
Rollofs, Financial Division, State Dept of Fbergy. He stated they are
currently negotiating with. Rq act Mannagement Systems, Inc. (performance
oontract) and the Drod Otwp (audit).
4. A fourth program may possibly acme from a $3,000,000 statewide
allocation of monies through. local energy councils. The source of this
money comes from charges by Exxon Company and resulted h= a legal
settlement involving $37 million. Steve Hamilton reeonmeded the city
attend the hearing on the use of these funds on Wednesday, September 24,
in New Ulm, one of four locations for such hearings.
Steve Hamilton indicated the success of uTle ennting any energy program is
primarily due to the energy coordinator, tbexefore the following points
are stressed.
1. Experience in commercial energy audits (not necessarily residential
audits) .
2. Very good public relations and capability of putting on workshops.
He mentioned Barb Maken of Mankato, Energy Coordinator, as a resource.
It was suggested we contact Mr. Jack Holdan of the Environmental Studies
Departrment at Mankato State U and the State Deparbiennt of Energy and Economic
Development. Various publications to advertise the position were also
discussed.
The energy council agreed that Butch Wentworth and Gary Plotz draft up a
proposed jab description for the half time position. In addition, Mankato
State would be contacted and a news release promoting the jab would be made.
Meeting adjourned at 9 p.m.

According to the just published GOVERNMENTS OF MINNESOTA 1986,
Hutchinson City ranks low in Minnesota in the following
key areas:
$ Percent Rank Percent Rank

Average Basic Gov't Employee
Annual Wage (in $s) 20977 32 77

This is just a sample of the 440 different findings about the
finances of Hutchinson City .
The study also Justifies to your city council and taxpayers
at least 36 specific ways to which Hutchinson City can save
money and / or raise revenues.
Many cities have used the GOVERNMENTS OF MINNESOTA 1986 as
public justification for their policies. Not only will it show you
which expense areas are 'out of line' but it gives you the objective
background to convince others. And the study leads you to alternatives
by jawing you comparable material on how other cities and counties are
handling their finances and how some of them are prospering.
The GOVERNMENTS OF MINNESOTA 1986, published annually by
Municipal Analysis Services, Inc., an Austin, Texas firm, gives
government executives and taxpayers a new perspective of their city,
county and school districts by comparing them to similar governments.

News Release Explanations and Implications
AVERAGE BASIC GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE ANNUAL WAGE is the average
wage of full time government employees engaged in the basic services
of police, fire, G&A, financial, waste water, sanitation, parks and
recreation, public buildings and streets.
Hutchinson City is compared to other cities of population
size 2,000 to 10,000 . The statewide score of 32 means that 68 %
of Minnesota cities were higher in Average Basic Gov't Employee
Annual Wage (in SO and 31 of the cities were lower. The
national score of 77 means that 76 % of the cities across the
country were lower and 23 % were higher.
A low average basic governement employee wage means that
Hutchinson City pays relatively less to the average employee
engaged in basic services. Strategy implications include:
a. show your constituents that your management has kept wages low,
b. argue that additional services may mean larger staffing, c. argue
for higher budgets or less cuts, d. plan for new revenue sources
and selective raises should employees ask for higher wages.

RE: Greencastle Project
Dear Homer,
In answer to your letter to me about the curb
and gutter on the North side of Century Ave. that we
replaced. As you noted there is two sections of the
curb that have sunk down about 311. I reviewed this
problem with my men that poured the curb and inspected
the side before they poured the curb. We excavated
out the soft wet material under the curb and replaced
it with granular material and compacted. We placed
the curb in level with the street. About two days
after we placed the curb, the Hutchinson Utility came
in with a backhoe and drove one wheel on the curb and
one on the boulevard and dug a trench behind the curb
parallel with it.
Due to the excavation and undermining behind the
curb and the weight of the backhoe, this caused the curb
to settle. Also they left dirt piled up behind the curb
which has not been removed or leveled off. I do not see
where it is our responsibility to replace the curb and
gutter or remove the material piled up behind the curb.
Sincerely,
Richard L. McClure

Attn: Marilyn Swanson
37 Washington Avenue West
Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Ms. Swanson:
Jai
I have received your letter dated September 18, 1986, and attached
Resolution No. 8383 requesting that Mn /DOT install 4 -way stops on the
temporary bypass of T.H. 22 & 7 at School Road and California Street. As
you had mentioned in your letter, the present situation has stop signs on
School Road and California Street, but not on the bypass. This is
essentially the same traffic control that was present before construction
where School Road and California Street had stop conditions and T.H. 22
and T.H. 7 did not stop. The traffic volume on T.H. 22 and 7 is considerably
higher than that of the cross streets and by stopping the highway traffic
would seriously impede the flow of thousands of vehicles per day.
Another problem that we would encounter if 4 -way stops were put in, is that
the initial adjustment period is often times more hazardous when there is
a changed condition. We have found that several vehicles will proceed
through a stop sign when they are not expecting one to be there, and
when cross street traffic is relying on the highway traffic to stop,
accidents often occur.
A third problem that exists at California Street is that at the present
time California Street does not line up north and south of the bypass.
This sort of geometrics does not lend itself well to a 4 -way stop condition
In conclusion, we feel that the stop situation that is inplace now is at
least as safe as before construction, especially because of reduced highway
speeds during construction. We will continue to monitor the situation and
if a problem should present itself, we will certainly be willing to make
the appropriate adjustments in our traffic control.
I appreciate your concern for safety.
Sincerely,

There remains a legal question on whether or not city ordinances
require the cul -de -sac, and a question whether or not the new
turn- around on Greencastle's present property meets the requirement
of the ordinance, in the event the ordinance is applicable. Both
Mr. Weed's attorney and the city attorney are reviewing these issues.
In the event (1) the ordinance applies and (2) the private turn - around
is determined not to have met ordinance specification, the city
council motion requiring installation of a cul -de -sac centered at
the end of Century Avenue is likely to prevail. Whether or not
Mr. Weed will request the cul -de -sac improvement to be certified
to taxes is not known to me at this time.

RE: GREENCASTLE IZ
Dear Mayor Ackland and Members of the Council:
I have been asked to respond to Mr. Mitchell's letter of
September 22, 1986.
Mr. Mitchell argues that the requirements imposed by the
Municipalities Subdivision Ordinance have been complied with.
Section 5.212 of our Subdivision Ordinance currently states:
"Dead -end streets will be approved if
five hundred (500) feet long provided a
designed turn - around area having a minim
the edge of the finished street or curb
less than fifty -three (53) feet and
right -of -way radius of sixty (60)
constructed."
limited to
permanently
lm radius to
line of not
a minimum
feet. is
This section is the only city ordinance dealing with
"dead -end" street. It does not specifically require a
"cul -de -sac" a but rather mandates a "turn- around" be
constructed. The only mention of "cul -de -sac" in municipal
ordinances occurs in Subdivision Ordinance Section 5.30# which
provides fro a minimum right -of -way radius for "cul -de -sacs"
of sixty (60) feet. Nowhere in our municipal ordinances is
"cul -de- sac" defined. Black's Law Dictionar defines a
"cul -de -sac" as a "blind alley, a street wh c s open at one
end only. Webster's Third New International Dictionar
offers as a definition a passage or 'a ey w th no exit
forward. Similar definitions are given by. The Oxford
Universal Dictionary, Webster's 7th New Colle iate D car ,,
and The World Book Dictionary. I believe that the
municipalities fa lure to define "cul -de -sac" does not mean
that the ordinance meant to adopt the dictionary definition
but rather the drafters of the Subdivision Ordinance felt
comfortable in equating the term "cul -de -sac" mentined in
Section 5.30 with the term "turn- around area" mentioned in
Section 5.212. The question then becomes whether Retirement
Living Communities have provided a "turn- around area" that
meets municipal requirements. These requirements are: W
• Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of City Council
Page 2
October 10, 1986
1. The street endings in the turn - around cannot be
more than five hundred (500) feet long;
2. The minimum radius of the turn - around cannot be
less that fifty -three (53) feet; and
3. The turn - around must have a minimum right of way
radius of sixty (60) feet.
Although ease of construction generally dictates a circular
turn - around, the ordinance does not seem to require such a
shape nor does the ordinance seem to require that the
turn- around be centered on the street right -of -way. In
refering to the above specifications, Mr Mitchell states "Both
of these dimensions (turn- around radius and right -of -way
radius) are met and more on the driveway and parking area for
Greencastle. "Therefore, even if one were to conclude that the
developer is legally obligated to install a cul -de -sac, the
developer has already conformed to these requirements by
construction of the existing parking lot and turn - around."
Accepting the fact that the precise definition of
"turn- around" is vague and the specifications provided by
5.212 are minimal, we then must ask if this matter were taken
to court could a determinatin be made that the turn - around as
provided complied with the requirements of 5.212, the terms of
the purchase agreement, and the intent of the Council? At the
June 11, 1985,Council meeting in which conditional approval of
the sale of the property was given, a discussion concerning
the status of Freemont Avenue was initiated by Councilman
Mikulecky. Councilman Mikulecky was concerned that sale of
the property would result in the removal of the temporary
street connecting Freemont Avenue with Century Avenue. Mr.
Mikulecky asked City Engineer Priebe if a cul -de -sac or
turn - around was required. A concern was expressed that
municipal safety vehicles and street equipment would be
hampered if Freemont were to simply "dead -end." Mr. Priebe
stated that there were provisions in city ordinances
regulating turn- arounds and dead -end streets. Mr. Weed
stated, "if a cul -de -sac would be necessary, obviously our
project would have to share in the costs with other affected
property owners." Both Councilman Mikulecky and Councilman
Carls pointed out that, the "affected property owners" would
be Greencastle and the city, due to the city ownership of the
adjacent property. They felt that if a cul -de -sac were
necessary it would be because of the sale of the property to
Retirement Living Communities and that the municipality or
L
Mayor Paul Ackland and Members of the City Council
Page 3
October 10, 1986
other property owners should not bear any of the costs of
installation of a cul -de- sac /turn- around. Accordingly, a
motion was passed approving the sale contingent upon several
factors, one of them being, "the developer being responsible
for the casts in developing the cul -de -sac on Freemon Avenue
so that there would be no city cost or cost assessed out to
any other party for the cul -de -sac." I was directed to
participate with Retirement Living Communities to draft an
appropriate purchase agreement. It was my understanding of
the motion that its intent was not to require a turn- around if
one was not required by ordinance, but to insure that if a
turn - around were required it would be constructed solely at
Retirement Living Communities expense. if the turn- around as
currently constructed truly meets the requirements of 5.212
and has been installed solely at Retirement Living
Communitie's expense, I believe that atrial could well result
in a finding that both the Subdivision Ordinance and Purchase
Agreement have been complied with.
Mr. Mitchell further argues that the requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance do not apply to the Greencastle Project.
The Project was developed in an area zoned R -3. In an R -3
zone multiple family dwellings are permitted without special
application requirements or conditions attached. Multiple
Family Dwellings is defined as "a building designed for or
occupied by more than two families." The Greencastle Project
met this definition. Zoning regulations require a PUD in R -1
or R -2 zones but not in R -3 zones. Since this was to be a
condominium sale, no sub - division was necessary. Ownership of
the property, that is the underlying ground, would remain
unified. Purchasers cf the units would not have title to a
particular lot but would have an undivided interest in the
entire parcel. Since no subdivision was required the
Subdivision Ordinance would not be applicable.

SUBJECT: Easement for Proposed Wastewater Treatment Facility
Dear Mr. Torrsls
The City of Hutchinson is currently planning construction of a
new Wastewater Treatment- Facility to be located on municipal
property on South Highway 22. In order to connect the current
facility with the proposed facility it is necessary to obtain
easements along a route designated as shown on the enclosed
map. As you can see, the route chosen corresponds to an
already existing or proposed road. The easement required by
the City would be 15 feet wider on each side than the existing
township roadway easement and would authorize installation and
maintenance of underground utility lines. Anticipating future
expansion and development needs, the City also seeks
electricals store severs sanitary sewer and roadway easements.
Since a portion of the route passes over property currently in
your ownership, you should be aware of the following:
1. Preparation and filing of the easement will be done
at municpal expense.
2. The municipality will be responsible for restoring
the property upon completion of installation of the
line.
3. The easements granted will be perpetual.
4. Construction is expected to begin in 1987.
If you have any questions concerning this matters please feel
free to contact me at 587 -7200 or stop in my office at 105 2nd
Avenue Southwest. I will be contacting you again when the
proposed easements have been drafted.

Subject: MPCA Timetable to Obtain Easements, Options to Speed up Process
Dear Mr. Roeker and Mr. Miller:
The city attorney and city engineer have been working to obtain easements
to connect the present wastewater facilities to the proposed wastewater
plant. The progress has been documented by the various correspondence
that has been forwarded to Donohue & Associates.
The only timetable that was mentioned by Donohue was in relation to the
grant submittal date of November 24th. Please provide the city with
some kind of verification of the very last date that MPCA would need
the easements in hand.
As we understand, there is no federal funding or authorization to
execute agreements under Phase III for the new treatment plant. If
progress is being made with negotiations, and all property owners
contacted, is this sufficient for MPCA at this time? Again, if we
could have an "agreed upon" timetable with MPCA, Donohue and the city,
this would be helpful to the city attorney in determining the options
the city may have.
Some changes in the required width of the easements (an option) or a
slightly different layout route (an option) could speed up the process.
For example, I understand from city attorney James Schaefer that if the
township 30 - 33' roadway easements were utilized, only other easement
may be necessary. In addition, if surface easements are not required it
may be easier to negotiate with property owners.
Please keep in contact with Attorney Schaefer at (612)587 -7200, and
myself, so that the optimum easement can be gotten within an agreed
upon MPCA timetable. Thank you.

RE Request for Legal Opinion on Distribution of Bibles
on Public Sidewalks /Boulevard Adjacent to Elementary
School
Dear Gary:
On Friday, September 19, 1986 local members of the Guideon's
distributed religious literature to Hutchinson elementary
school students. The distribution took place on the public
sidewalks and boulevards surrounding the Hutchinson
Elementary School and occurred after school hours. No
charge was made for the literature so distributed and the
children were apparently free to accept or reject the
literature as they chose.
I have been asked to comment on the validity or legality of
such action under current municipal ordinances.
Hutchinson's Transient Merchant Ordinance requires the
licensing of all peddlers, soliciters and transient
merchants. This ordinance is designed to regulate the sale
of items, goods or services for remuneration and was not
specifically designed to require licensing of individuals or
organizations whose purpose is to distribute items to local
citizenry free of charge. In any event, Section 5 of the
Transient Merchant Ordinance specifically exempts religious
and charitable organizations from its provisions.
I do not believe that the activities described constitute a
public nuisance or disorderly conduct under state or local
statutes or ordinances.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution
provides "Congress shall make no law respecting and
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof." The free distribution of religious literature and
materials has been held to be a constitutionally protected
activity. Any restriction on this right must have a public
purpose that out - weighs the harm caused by the imposition of
the abridgment. In this instance the perceived harm is not
in the distribution of the materials themselves, but in the
distribution of the materials to children of tender years.
The arguement is made that parents teach their children not
to accept gifts from strangers and the distribution of
religious literature to children by strangers, however well
meaning and intended, undermines this instruction.
In order to prevent the preceived harm several alternatives
are available. The municipality could ban all distribution
of materials or literature to minors, attempt to require a
license to distribute materials to minors, or it could
attempt to regulate the distribution of materials to minors
within any certain distance from public or private schools.
I do not believe that any of these alternatives would be
constitutionally acceptable. In my opinion the perceived
harm is to remote to justify state restriction of First
Amendment freedoms. I have contacted the League of
Minnesota Cities to request that they provide me with their
opinion on the possible alternatives. Their initial
response was similar to mine. I will contact you directly
upon receipt of the information which I receive from the
League on this topic.

RE: Display of Nativity Scene
Dear Mayor Ackland:
.t o
u x �

I have been asked to comment upon the appropriateness of the
municipality authorizing display of a privately owned
Nativity Scene on public property. In order for such a
display to be appropriate it must meet a three - pronged test.
First, the practice must have a secular legislative
purpose. Second, its principle or primary affect must
neither advance nor inhibit religion. Last, it must not
foster an excessive government entanglement with religion.
There have been many cases which have considered this issue.
The most recent case is American Civil Liberties Union vs.
City of Birmingham, a sixth - circuit Court of Appeals
decision from June of 1986. In that case a Christmas time
display of a city owned Nativity scene on the front lawn of
the city hall of Birmingham, Michigan was held to be
improper. In the Birmingham case the Nativity scene was
displayed standing alone without any of the non - religious
symbols of Christmas. The Court concluded that such a
display did in fact convey a message of endorsement of
Christianity. it stated "a creche standing alone without
any of the non - religious symbols of Christmas affirms the
most fundamental of Christian beliefs - that the birth of
Jesus was not just another historical event, but rather was
an act of Divine intervention in human affairs that set this
birth apart from all others." It went on to say " when
surrounded by a multitude of secular symbols of Christmas, a
Nativity scene may do no more than remind an observer that
the holiday has a religious origin. But when the
non - religious trappings are stripped away, there remains
only the universally recognized symbol for the central
affirmation of a single religion - Christianity." The Court
concludes "the city -owned and city - sponsered Nativity scene
Mayor Paul Ackland
Page 2
October 6, 1986
sends quite a different message when it stands alone as the
only clearly identifiable symbol chosen by the city to mark
its contribution to the celebration. The direct and
immediate affect of such a- display is endorsement of a
particular religion."
A contrary decision was reached in McCrear�vs�Stone, 789
Fed 2nd, 716. In that case the Vil age a of Scarsdale
permitted a civic group to place a Nativity scene in a
city - owned park during the Christmas holiday season. The
Scarsdale Nativity scene was placed on city -owned land,
standing alone, and display a .disclaimer that read "this
Nativity scene has been erected and maintained solely by the
Scarsdale creche commltteer a private organization. " - The
Court held that this was proper, apparently placing an
emphasis on the fact that the public park had been utilized
as a forum for other political organizations and social
groups in the past and that a denial of the permit allowing
such a display could be an abridgement of freedom of speech.
The situation purposed appears to more closely resemble the
Scarsdale facts rather than the Birmingham situation. I
believe that it may be possible to permit the display of the
Nativity scene in a Constitutionally acceptable manner.
Such a display may or may not result in protest, controversy
or legal action. Since this an area where the law seems to
be settled on a case -by -case basis I can make no prediction
as to what the outcome of any such action would be.
Sincerely yours,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

Subject: Local Programing Studio
Dear Barry:
Hubertus Sarazin and Alice Paul met with me on October 6
to discuss their pending move.
Specifically, the local office of North American is moving from
Main Street to the corner of 2nd Ave and Franklin St. (formerly
Marge's Maternity /Uniform location). The space is very limited,
and it is not possible to have a studio.
I have reviewed the franchise agreement and it specifically speaks
of providing an office. Sue Potter has asked the city attorney
to review the agreement further.
The position of North American is that in excess of $24,000 plus
some equipment.is contributed each year (including the additional
franchise fee forwarded to HCVN) and that HCVN should be able to
have funds to rent space, if something cannot be worked out with
the video section of the vocational school. If two way communi-
cations are set up at the vocational school, Hubertus Sarazin
indicated they would share in the cost of the module and hook -up
(est.$4,000). At a more accessible location, perhaps they may
pay for the hook -up.
I would suggest we meet with the school district as soon as
possible. Please call me so we can set up a meeting. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Scherkenback:

We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the courtesy
afforded us in presenting our proposal to create a plan submittal
bypass procedure to you, your staff, and the Board on August 26,
1986. We understand your reluctance to move ahead with the
change on this year's list based on the Attorney General's
opinion that an actual rule change is necessary.
In order to clear the record on this concept, we would like to
state that this proposal was not a "Donohue" proposal but rather
a legitimate concern raised by those communities who have moved
ahead and will be without construction funding this coming year.
As you are aware, many of these communities filed letters with
your staff and the Board in favor of the proposal. These same
communities have requested that we continue to work in harmony
with you in affecting a potential permanent rule change prior to
the FY88 list adoption.
Per the September CGM news letter request for input we would like
to meet with you and Sharon to discuss this further. With an
entire year before us, we believe there is sufficient time to
gather public input and develop a "permanent" rule in which the
Board, Agency, and communities can live with.
We are therefore requesting that you consider offering us an
audience to work out the kind of amendment which will serve all
interests in this area.
The rule change we are looking towards proposing would include
the following general provisions:
1. Elimination of Step 2/3 grants with the FY88 project priority
list.

We are specifically concerned about number 3 above and would like
to, discuss what neighboring states have done to cope with this
issue. Your agency's long history of cost overruns, project
delays and incredibly difficult grant administrative activities
has burdened the entire program. It is time to have projects
move and to get completed in an efficient and professional
manner.
We look forward to your positive response to our request. We
believe that if these concepts are implemented prior to the FY88
list, that some projects funded in PY88'will beat FY87 projects
into construction.

I was very disappointed that we could not defeat the rule on the
Continuing Funding Resolution so general revenue sharing could be provided
budget authority for fiscal year 1987.
As you may know, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jamie
Whitten included language in the Continuing Funding Resolution that would
have allowed $3.4 billion for revenue sharing. However, the House Rules
Committee refused to move a funding resolution with money for general
revenue sharing added.
I have enclosed a copy of a "Dear Colleague" letter from Rep. Ted
Weiss which explains the necessity to vote to defeat the rule for
consideration of the funding resolution. Defeat of the rule would have
allowed us to offer an amendment to include money for GRS.
I was joined by only one other Minnesota congressman in opposing the
rule. The effort to defeat the rule lost on a close vote of 216 -202.

GENERAL REVENUE SHARING
Dear Colleague:
11 IN r.: >WiN:14:. u[i....�
if you support the general revenue sharing program (GRS), please
join me in opposing the rule to be considered this afternoon on the
Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY 1987. This may be the last
opportunity we have before adjournment to show our support for this
vital program.
Last week the Committee on Appropriations reported a CR which
included a one -year extension of GRS at a 75 percent funding level,
which is approximately $3.45 billion for FY 1987, An amendment in the
Appropriations Committee to delete GRS was defeated. The Committee on
Rules heard extensive testimony on the CR. However, because it
appears that a large majority of Members would vote to continue GRS,
this original CR will not be brought to the Floor.
Instead, a new Continuing Resolution was introduced yesterday
which contains no provision for GRS. This CR has not been voted on by
the Committee on Appropriations and the rule which will permit its
consideration does not allow for any amendments to put revenue sharing
back in the CR. To say the least, this violates normal House
legislative procedures.
A vote against the rule will be a vote for revenue sharing.
?lease vote to defeat the rule on the Continuing Resolution.

MEMORANDUM FOR YOUR INFORM AI N
•,• r• �� •�•+:• r� ♦••.•�• a ••
RE: PERSORM FILES
In reviewing procedures related to storing and di¢seninating personnel
data, I called the League of Cities for information, as suggested by
the City Attorney in his August 6, 1986, memorandum to Mayor Ackland.
I was referred by then to Mr. Don Ge berling of the State of Mai Data
Privacy Division (tel. 296 - 6733).
I explained to Mr. Genberling that our present policy is to maintain
an individual file folder for each employee's personnel record, limiting
access to that file to the two individuals who normally work with the
records. I asked him if he could suggest a method of separation of
"private" and "public" data so that in the event of a request to review
a file, we would have information in proper category.
Mr. Ge ezling's response is summarized below.
1. The law specifies which information is public. All other data is
considered private. The problem this creates is that on virtually
every sheet of paper in a file there might be one item of private
data, while the major portion of information is public. (For
instance, a social security number is private, and is sham on many
forms.)
In most cases, it is a practical impossibility to completely separate
private and public data, due to the varied information on most forms.
In the event of a citizen request to review a file, no time is specified
in which a response must be made. Normal procedure is to have a policy
which states "we will make appropriate and prompt response,'depending
on the nature of the request (which information is desired) - an immediate
response will be attempted, but up to 5 days may be required.:"
4. Personnel staff would review file contents, copy those pieces of data
which were requested, whiting out any private data, and reviadN, if
necessary, with the city attorney to clarify status of data.
5. In the event an elected official requests to review a file, the same
procedure would apply. If an elected official would request to lee
private data, this would most certainly be a legal matter in aihich
the city attorney must become involved.
In summary, the advice received was that the city should not spend the time
and money required to revamp an entire set of personnel records in preparation
for the possibility that a limited number of aqquuees might be received. These
requests would have to be reviewed on an individual basis. No 5 minute responses
are required for any reques* . * *

Today I received my performance review and discussed it with
Council member Marlin Torgerson.
Regarding management factors (knowledge of job, problem solving/
decision making, working with people, and economics management)
the areas were marked satisfactorily.
Regarding "communications" the area was primarily in notifying
employees downward or laterally in the event I am gone or unavailable.
To address this I have implemented the attached policy. Please
review the policy and if you have any questions please contact
me immediately.
I feel the annual review is beneficial and appreciate the time spent.

T0: Staff and Secretaries
FROM: Gary D. Plotz, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Office Notification Policy
------------------- ----- - - - - --
To assist you in locating me for a phone call or people that may "drop in ",
I desire the following:
UPSTAIRS
Upon going upstairs in City Hall, the receptionist or acting receptionist
will be notified by me. Please take messages, unless you determine the call
is very urgent. If the call is urgent, contact the engineering secretary,
as she is centrally and visually located to the offices I frequent (namely:
personnel, engineering, fire and building inspections). Council members'
calls shall be put through immediately.
DOWNSTAIRS
While in the daily work area of the secretaries and accounting, no specific
notification happens because of the constant checking on various items by
the nature of the job. Generally speaking, if I am downstairs and not in
the office, I am in accounting. Please take messages if I am meeting with
Ken, except for urgent items or Council members' telephone calls.
If I am in the police department for more than a very brief time, the recep-
tionist or acting receptionist will be notified.
VUL Or BunnilLIG
Notification to the receptionist or acting receptionist plus a very general
time span estimate on how long I am gone is hereby my policy. I would request
all salaried employees within City Hall implement the same policy, as it would
help the staff, secretaries and, specifically, the switchboard operator /recep-
tionist.
,1 This is consistent with the Council policy of June 10, 1986 found on page 27:
NOTIFICATION OF ABSENCE FROM CITY
"...You are strongly encouraged to notify the receptionist when you
are gone substantial portions of a day, not covered in the above
policy, so telephone calls can be handled efficiently."
The estimate of how long we are gone is only an estimate as we realize you
may be stopped during the day and asked questions A to Z that prolong your
return, or meetings frequently run over. Nevertheless, the best estimate is
your "guesstimate" and is of value.
MEETINGS IN OFFICE
Please take telephone messages for all incoming calls if I am meeting with some-
one in the office, unless it is a very urgent call or a Council member. Please
note that all outside incoming calls are automatically relayed back to the
switchboard because of the electronic telephone system. If I have a meeting,
again please take a message. My secretary will intercept and take messages
for internal calls when I am in a meeting.
ANSWERING OF CALLS FROM THE PUBLIC
I request calls, primarily incoming calls from the public, be answered:
"Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon - City Hall - May I Help You ?"
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

RE: CITY AUDITOR'S REPORT OF POLICE FUNDS
Dear Gary:
J
�4
1b�� Jac` 2
XA
In relation to the above captioned matter you asked me the
following questions:
1. Is there any legal problem in releasing any auditor's
report concerning police funds to the Police Chief "as
soon as it becomes available "?
2. Is the auditor's report "public information," and is
there any legal liability in making this available
to the public (media and others)?
My understanding is that the audit conducted by the Charles
Bailly accountants will cover the records and selected
transactions of the Police Petty Cash Fund, the Police
Employee Fund and the Hutchinson Crime Prevention Fund for the
years 1983, 1984 and 1985. As Chief of Police, Dean O'Borsky
is the administrative head of the Hutchinson Police
Department. His duties would clearly permit access to the
type of information expected to be contained in the report.
To the extent that he may be the subject of information in the
report such information would be available to him upon his
request. I believe that a copy of the report should be made
available to Chief O'Borsky within a reasonable time after it
becomes available.
The auditor's report may or not may be "public information.'
Since the substance of the report is at the present time
unknown I can make no comment as to whether it should be made
available to the public. I would suggest thac upon its
receipt, it be classified as "protected non - public data" under
L
Mr. Gary Plotz
Page 2
October 6, 1986
the provisions of MSA 13.39. This is the category defining
Investigative Data concerning pending civil legal litigation.
Upon its classification as protected non - public data it should
be referred to the responsible authority who, together with
myself, will review the report and make a determination as to
its ultimate status. The document should not be released to
the public until such time as such review has been completed.
If the report is made available to Chief O'Borsky prior, to
such a review, I would suggest that Chief O'Borsky be informed
of the report's classification and told that it,should not be
released to anyone other than himself.
I have also been given asked to comment on whether any meeting
to discuss the auditor's report and related topics must be a
public meeting. I believe that there are several potential
situations which could result in such a meeting being closed
to the public. To a large extent the nature of the meeting
will depend upon the results of the auditor's report and the
information that will be discussed. I will attempt to give
any opinion at this time but will wait until we receive a copy
of the report. After reviewing the report, I will be better
able to determine if any of the information to be discussed is
non - public, private or confidential and therefore beyond the
scope of the open- meeting law.
