Carried. Johnson /Lundstrom moved and seconded acceptance of the Treasurer's report. Carried. Director's Report: The March and April 1986 circulation reports and the quarterly bookmobile circulation report were distributed. The Public Library Newsletter and the newspaper clippings were passed around. Hebrink /Conradi moved and seconded payment of bills. Carried. Committee and Project Reports: a. Automation Committee -- Mr. Bosse reported on the RFI letters which have been sent to vendors. b. Finance Committee -- The 1987 budget proposal was presented to be discussed later in the meeting. •c. The 1985 audit has been received from the auditor. It was distributed to the board members and will be put on next month's agenda. Communications: a. Office of Library Development and Services - -the application for FY87 funds (July 1, 1986 through June 30, 1987) has been received. It has been projected that these funds will decrease about 10% or approximately $17,000. If this is accurate, this year's budget will be adjusted $8,500. b. A letter was read from the Willmar City Council regarding automation funding; however, since the letter was received, the mayor and the council have approved this payment. c. Status of Meeker County funding task force -- Copies of letters received from the mayors of Dassel, Cosmos, and Grove City are made part of these minutes. Mr. Smolnisky reported that the feeling of the Litchfield City Council is concurrent with the other city councils from Meeker County. All these governing units indicated they would not be making up the $6,000 difference Meeker County is short on this year's budget. d. Communication from Litchfield Library Staff -- Carol Blunt, acting Litchfield librarian, read a statement from the Litchfield Library Staff regarding their concerns on the Meeker County situation (statement attached). A letter and a petition from Gladys Paulson, Dassel librarian, is also attached. The Litchfield Library staff indicated two proposals: 1) allow Meeker County to remain in the system with reduced services and 2) find some way to allow the $6,000 shortage to be paid into the system without changing the maintenance of effort requirement. . Old Business: a. Meeker County -- Mr. Sanders reviewed the background regarding the action of the Board in December, 1984, to no longer allow Meeker County to be a part of Pioneerland due to shortages of budgetary monies. Discussion followed, and the following questions were raised: Is funding procedure fair and equitable, it has to be uniform for all units. The legislation proposed this year to mandate extension of library services to all counties in the state was not passed. It may possibly be proposed again in next legislative session. What effect would this legislation have on Pioneerland with regard to Meeker County if they are no longer participants? When the current adjusted assessed valuation figures are released, how will this affect monetary contributions to the budget? It was noted these figures may be available in July of 1986. It was again noted by Mr. Turck that an °ad hoc committee should review the agreement and bylaws be Meeker County questions Pioneerland's termination of services to a city /county when the Agreement is broken. How long does Pioneerland continue providing services when full budget requests are not met? The possibility of placing library service in Meeker County on the fall ballot was discussed. Federated versus consolidated systems were discussed. Bob Boese stated that federated is a more costly system, with duplication of services. Barker /Horrocks moved and seconded extension of full services to Meeker County until the November Board meeting. Meeker County's approved amount will cover these full services through that date. Carried: This item will be placed on the agenda for the November Board meeting. •b. Long Range Plan -- The major recommendations were summarized and reviewed. The final draft will be presented at the June meeting. This copy will be filed with all governing units. a. 1987 operational budget (see attached). one delivery venicle will nave to be replaced in a year to a year and a half so the amortization portion of the budget changed from $4,000 to $8,000. Estimated receipts will be received from: State /Federal basic grants $205,000 (same) Local taxes (formula) 667,681 ( +5.88) Local reimbursements 41,484 (+1.5$) Miscellaneous receipts 65,000 ( +1.6$) $ 9J�, 165 ( +4.068 ) Mr. Boese reviewed the personal services section of the proposed budget. The needs are 1) keeping the salary schedule, 2) increase staff salaries, 3) need for one full -time professional staff member in Willmar or we could lose our status as a Federal document depository. It was felt this should be a priority as we now get all Federal publications free. These are used by many library users in the entire system. In order to fill this position (which would cost approximately $20,000 including fringe benefits), a non- professional staff member working approximately 14 hours a week would be cut. At this point, Mrs. Flann, Lake Lillian librarian, questioned if this would mean the closing of the Lake Lillian Library. No decision will be made on how this 14 hours a week cut would be made until after the 1987 budget is adopted and approved. Kathy Matson reviewed the materials section of the proposed 1987 budget. Discussion followed regarding the cost to each governing unit if this budget is adopted. The actualj cost will be available in July after the adjusted valuation figures (EARL) would be received. The suggestion was proposed that budget figures be given to governing units by trustees to review now. This item will be placed on the June agenda. b. Bylaws amendment -- the proposed amendment was read and reviewed (copy attached). Condon /Fredrickson moved and seconded that this be placed on the June agenda for a vote. Carried. c. Transfer of Raymond Project Funds -- Motion was made and seconded by .Johnson /Nelson that Raymond Project Funds of $52,619.13 be invested in a money market account at the Farmers State Bank if Raymond with interest earned to be accrued to the Raymond project. Carried. d. Mr. Lionel Barker was reappointed to serve on the SAMMIE Governing Board. There will be a full board meeting on June 9.

Thor Skeie, President; Joan Ewald, Vice President; Rolly Balke, Secretary; Mike Carls, Trustee; Dori Johnson, Trustee; Dr. Carl y Bretzke, Chief of Medical Staff Absent: Bob Durfee, Trustee Others Present: Philip G. Graves, Administrator; Willard H. Rosenow, Assistant Administrator; Jane Lien, Director of Nursing Services; Frank Seivert, Administrative Assistant; Jane Hodgins, Hutchinson Leader; Virginia Penk, KDUZ /KKJR Radio; Laurie Hulkonen, Recording Secretary Prior to the meeting, several board members toured Ford Place, the hospital's residence for resistant alcoholics in Glencoe. The meeting was called to order at 5:50 PM, following dinner, by President Skeie. Mike Carls, the City Council representative on the board, presented a legislative update on current health care issues considered during the recent session of the legislature. He summarized the following areas, all of which could impact our hospital: Prepayment of Medical Assistance (MA) and Aid to Families of Dependent Children (AFDC) Services. The State currently has a demonstration project underway in a three - county area to determine whether or not current costs for MA and AFDC services can be contained by prepayment. Proposed plans are to enter the individual counties; look for provider coverage; ask for bids from caregivers; and then proceed to contract for these services. Workers Compensation and Unemployment Compensation. The legislature looked at restructuring (lowering) the minimum benefits presently provided to recipients. This was done in order to deal with the deficit the State of Minnesota owes to the federal government for these benefits and is paying interest on. Governor Perpich vetoed the bill to change the present law, presumably to placate labor factions following the State's recent involvement in the Austin strike. Neither unemployment nor workers compensation laws were modified this session. Juvenile Justice Code Reform. Legislators introduced revisions to the juvenile justice code, whereby young people would be further protected against being admitted to mental health programs against their wishes. Included in the proposal was a "juvenile bill of rights ", under which juveniles would be separated from adults in mental health treatment programs. An office of "state youth advocate" was also proposed, to be funded by fees from in -house providers, which would guard against youths being unjustly institutionalized. The Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) strongly opposed these revisions, and state law enforcement officials supported the MHA in their efforts to lobby against the revisions. Although no changes in the current code were made during this session, Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 4/15/86 Page Two a study made of juvenile admissions will be reported to the Minnesota Department of Health. Charity Care. A philosophical question on whether medical care is a right and, if so, who will pay for it was debated during this session. While no hospital the board was aware of has turned patients away according to their ability to pay, care needs to be provided for those patients who don't fit into the MA, General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC) and Hill Burton programs. The State is looking at broadening MA guidelines and is also looking at creating a pool of dollars to provide these services by assessing a small percentage of HMO's and insurance companies a small fee - as "a cost of doing business in the State of Minnesota ". No changes in these guidelines, however, were adopted. Transitional Care. Care of patients needing skills at a level between a hospital and a nursing home was also considered. Swing beds are a form of transitional care, one which our hospital has looked at but, thus far, has been denied licensure for. It was noted that the Minnesota Association of Homes for the Aged (MAHA) worked diligently during this session to lobby for changes regarding swing beds. There is now a Minnesota law stating that transfers from swing beds in one hospital to swing beds in another hospital are approved only if there is no nursing home within 25 miles of the first hospital. Malpractice. The MHA lobbied for removal of the punitive damage provision in the state's malpractice statutes but was not successful. While there is currently a $400,000 cap on pain and suffering (non- economic) losses, the MHA also was also unable to obtain limits on . loss of limb, loss of income, or attorney's fees. Carls complimented the MHA lobbyists for their assistance in preparing this presentation. Minutes of Past Meetings. The minutes of the March regular meeting of the hospital board of directors were presented. During discussion of the minutes, Graves confirmed that the insurance consultant, who had been heard by the board at the February meeting,had been hired by the City of Hutchinson and was processing the request for bids for self- insurance. Graves and Seivert recapped progress on the in -house computer since the March meeting, saying the equipment is to be on -site sometime in April, with training beginning in May, and modules are to be running by September of this year. Following discussion: Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, to approve the minutes of the March 18, 1986, regular board of director's meeting as presented. All were in favor. Motion carried. Medical Staff Meeting Minutes. Bretzke presented the minutes of the April medical staff meetings. He noted that the obstetrical patients' request to videotape the birth of their child had been tabled and was being researched to learn what other hospitals have done in response to similar requests. Concern was felt by the medical staff that there might be a safety problem in having the father busy videotaping the birth rather than coaching the mother and assisting her during the birth, as has been the father's role in the past. No other comments were made. Z Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 4/15/86 Page Three . New Business A. Medical Center Expansion. Bretzke presented blueprints of the proposed clinic expansion project to the board. He relayed that the clinic has been short of space, and they are planning to provide increased space for current staff, for the many consultants who now see patients at the clinic, and for the two physicians who will be joining the clinic this summer. Details of the proposed 3,000 square foot addition were explained, with costs estimated to be $160,000. The Medical Center proposed to pursue construction of the expansion project themselves, at no additional rent, and will revert ownership of the space back to the hospital after five years. Graves told the board that implementing this project would exhaust the Hutchinson Medical Center's potential expansion space on the lower level of the hospital; future expansion would have to be built on top of the medical office building. The board then reviewed and discussed the prints. The Medical Center had hired their own architect and obtained quotes on money needed for the project, but they have asked the hospital to consider the opportunity of financing the project for them. At this time, Jim Schaefer, the city attorney, appeared before the board to inform them of their options: 1. The hospital can build the project and lease it back to the Medical Center, with terms negotiated. 2. The Medical Center can obtain private financing, borrow the funds and build the facility, then it must deed it back to the hospital. The Medical Center then could receive credit on its lease for a specific number of years. 3. The hospital can act as a lending institution, loaning the money to the Medical Center at a negotiated rate of interest, to be paid back over a certain length of time, and the building would be built. The facilities would then be given back to the hospital in return for lease credits for a negotiated number of years. A question was raised about restrictions on what municipalities can do with their money. Carls said one City Council member has asked about money the hospital received from the sale of the Greencastle property. Schaefer responded that the hospital's idle funds, not presently needed for other purposes, may be deposited or invested in the same manner that the city can invest their funds. Additionally, municipally -owned hospitals have all the authority of a non - profit organization, for investment purposes, including the ability to enter into a contract, which is what this project would entail. It was Schaefer's opinion that this project could be legally undertaken by the hospital for loan of the money to the Hutchinson Medical Center. 3 Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 4/15/86 Page Four . Schaefer also stated that he had obtained an opinion from the State Attorney General's office and from the City's bond consultant regarding the construction work on the expansion project. Both opinions state that the construction work must be put out for bids because this project is being done with the express purpose of turning it back to the public entity. Bidding must occur to insure the public that the project was built at the lowest possible cost. Bretzke declared a conflict of interest because of his ownership in the Hutchinson Medical Center, P.A. • 0 Following discussion: Motion was made by Ewald, seconded by Balke, to authorize construction of the clinic expansion program as presented by Bretzke. Following further discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Johnson, to amend the previous motion to read: "Motion was made to authorize construction of the clinic expansion program as presented by Bretzke, subject to final approval of the construction plan by the hospital." Motion carried with a vote of 6 in favor (and Bretzke abstaining due to conflict of interest). The financing of the project was next discussed. Following discussion: Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, to request authority from the City Council to finance the Medical Center expansion project and to authorize the administrator to negotiate a suitable financial arrangement and lease agreement, using hospital funds, with final documents to be approved by the hospital's board of directors. Motion carried with a vote of 6 in favor (and Bretzke abstaining due to conflict of interest). B. Senior Gold Contract. An amendment to the hospital's 1986 Blue Cross contract which would require the hospital to discount senior citizen charges was presented. Under this amendment, the hospital would have to agree to accept only a portion of the patient's deductible as full payment of the patient -owed balance (after insurance payment). Graves recommended that the board refrain from signing the amendment at this time. Following discussion: Motion was made by Johnson, seconded by Carls, to accept the administrator's recommendation not to sign the amendment at this time, pending receipt of further information. All were in favor. Motion carried. Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 4/15/86 Page Five C. Office Expansion. Information was presented to the board on the proposed expansion of the Business Office. As one of the 1986 institutional objectives, Graves had asked for and received a quote from the architect for $3,000 for design development. He explained the planned changes to the board (extending the main desk out into the lobby, additional room for data processing and a private insurance area, increasing space for credit and collections, and decorating). The project had been included in the current budget. Following discussion: Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, to hire the firm of Horty, Elving 6 Associates for design development stages of the hospital's business office remodeling at a cost not to exceed $3,000.00. All were in favor. Motion carried. D. First Quarter Objectives. Graves distributed copies of the hospital's first quarter objective status report to the board. He briefly explained the hospital's MBO process to the press prior to his comments to the board on the status of the objectives. Following discussion: Motion was made by Johnson, seconded by Bretzke, to accept the first quarter 1986 objective status report as information. All were in favor. Motion carried. • E. Trustee Education. The board received information on a national trustee education conference to be held in Monterey, CA, on October 19 -23, 1986. Topics to be covered included several of current interest to the board. It was proposed that three representatives attend - a board trustee, the chief of the medical staff, and the administrator -- at a cost of $3,500. Skeie led discussion on the conference, stating that $5,000 had been budgeted for the current year for trustee education, and that he felt there would be value gained by attendance at a national conference. Johnson concurred with Skeie and added that any hospital our size could benefit from gaining a broader perspective on issues that are affecting the rapid changes in health care. Carls expressed his concern over the cost of the conference and suggested that the board look into education on these topics for the entire board at a local or state -level education session. Graves agreed that there was tremendous value in networking with trustees from other hospitals, whether from our area or outside. Following discussion: Motion was made by Johnson, seconded by Skeie, to send one trustee, the administrator, and the chief of the medical staff to the Monterey Conference in October, with expenses paid by • the hospital. Skeie, Johnson and Bretzke voted in favor; Carls, Ewald and Balke voted against. Motion failed for lack of a majority. IN Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 4/15/86 Page Six • (E.)

Percentage of occupancy had increased to 40.5, and the length of stay had also increased slightly. Accounts Payable. The accounts payable for the month of March were presented.

All were in favor. Motion carried. Financial Statements. The statements were presented. A net gain of $17,500 for the month was reported to the board, somewhat behind the budgeted gain YTD. MHU showed a gain of $27,000 after the first quarter, but this is expected to be down in the near future. Rosenow relayed that the days outstanding are up due to Medicare's questioning of services and, consequently, slowing payments. A question was raised about the money . received from the sale of the hospital's property to Greencastle. Graves was asked to have the city attorney research the issue and determine whether this money should be applied to debt reduction. Graves will report back to the board on this at the next meeting.

Clerk Mayor 2. • June 2,1986 Mr. Marlowe Priebe City Engineer Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 You have stated that draining the Maplewood Academy property into the city storm sewer on Ninth Avenue N.E. will not create any problems. You also stated that the water problem in May 1996 was unusual and probably would not happen again. Is thi, an accurate account of your statements? I am enclosing a picture from the front of our home that is approx- imately seven years old. This picture clearly shows the problem, and it happens every time there is a very hard rain: (The storad' drain was not plugged). This occurs with much greater frequency than you predict! The last time and in fact several times the water has come within 8 feet of pouring into our basement. That is probably a one to two inch vertical -rise. If the City goes ahead with these plans and our neigborhood is flooded the City of Hutchinson and poor engineering planning approved by the City are directl-� responsible::: I have other pictures which I hope to present to the City Council at the June 10th, meeting.

At the present tire no one is questioning the honesty, the intelligence, the integrity, nor the willingness of the Mayor, City Council, or City Employees who are attempting to solve a very difficult situation concerning the storm sewer problem in our city. We understand the desire of Maplewood Academy to solve their water problem and hope it will be solved in the near _future. However, as a home owner I know you can share my concern when I state, "Any further add -tion of gre-ind water runoff to the Northeast storm sewer system in Hutchinson will flood basements in my ir_mediate area." I am here to submit pictures showing children boating in the street . in front of our home. This picture u:as taken several years ago. Also, pictures showing the conditions in May 1986 will be offered into evidence. We sincerely hope you will understand our concern and will devote your test efforts to finding a reasonable solut or to our problem and to this problem which is also yours as our elected officials of our fine city.

If the citizen cannot resolve the problem through direct discussion with the dog . owner, the police department will issue oral warnings to the dog owner. If this fails, criminal prosecution is requested. Public nuisances are dealt with in the 1000 section of the City Ordinances. Dogs are specifically covered in Section 1015. An examination of section 1015 shows that no specific prohibition against maintaining barking dogs or defining such as a public nuisance can be found therein. I would suggest that in order to ease prosecution of this offense as a misdemeanor public nuisance the attached amendment to section 1015 be adopted. This would permit prosecution for a specific offense rather than as a general misdemeanor and would greatly facilitate the handling of matters of this type. Sincerely yours, CITY OF HUTCHINSO�N By / - James H. Schaefer Hutchinson City Attorney JHS:dlp Enclosure • We, the undersigned, wish to express our concern over the problem of barking dogs in our neighborhood. The doge bark non -stop for hours on end both day and night. We would like to enjoy the peace and quiet of summer, but we are forced to keep windows shut, doors closed, and have to turn up the radio or t.v. to drown out the irritating barking. It's impossible to go for a walk, ride bike, have the kids play outside, or even mow lawn without hearing e constant barking. F`i'r eve ycnc. t"at !,as a job, wor} -s - ::]'t.

No person, firm or corporation shall own, keep, have in their possession or harbor any dog which, by frequent or habitual howling, yelping or barking, shall cause a nuisance by creating a serious annoyance or disturbance to any individual or to the neighborhood.

We have sold our 1986 bonds for special assessment bonds. Resolution 8304 sets the interest rate at the net rate at which the bonds were sold. This year the net interest rate was 6.2% The council may want to consider a floor for the interest rate on special assessment bonds. Before the interest rate went wild the city policy set a rate of 7% no matter what the bonds interest. By doing this the potential problem of property owners wanting to wait for better interest rates may be averted. 7 percent would be an good rate and since this will be the first time the rate • would be lower than 7% - action to set a new rate would be appropriate. • Resolution 8303 is the authorizing transfer of engineering and administration costs from the 1986 improvement to the general fund. The $162,207 is based upon actual construction cost bids awarded. Per resolution number 7920 adopted in 1984 the $162,207 is 14 % of construction costs. Finally resolution 8302 is authorizing transfer of funds from the Jorgenson park land sale to the pool and recreation construction fund which had been previously agreed to by the council.

These people were refused as this request should be because of the following: This land is part of our long range plans and the low areas now accomidates our excess fill from each grave that is dug. If this low area is filled in, all excess fill from graves would have to be transported to the city garage area resulting in costs to the city. Also, this parcel has a large hill on it which will have to be cut down when grave sites are plotted. All of this fill would be hauled by earth movers and deposited in the low area. If we allow Mr. Weed's request, it is very possible that the fill from this hill would have to be hauled away at the city's expense.

The projected rate increase is for 20 %. It appears this is on the high side based upon our experience. Our current agent Fred Hack, at Bob Martin and Assoc., believes we should go to bid on the policy. I would request a calling for bids and a bid opening date of July 17, 1986 at 2pm, for dental insurance. It would also be asked to combine this bid with the hospital for possible savings as they are also planning on bidding their dental insurance. 9,J , L J PURPOSE AND USE The Hutchinson Handbook on Policies Procedures and Practices anFATminis r a e Or ers was assembled for the following purposes: To compile the most commonly referred - to policies and procedures found in: State Statute City Charter City Ordinances City Resolutions Council Minutes Contracts and Agreements Bond Counsel 0 ip'nions Cit AttT orney Opinions ministrative Memos Past Practice and Precedent (policies not necessarily written, however, may have been followed in previous years and are now placed in written form) 2.

It is the city's goal to use this concept in policy- making and decision - making from the city council level to the rank and file level as much as possible. The concept of team management simply means that a group of employees is used to identify problems, gather the data on the problems, discuss alternate solutions, implement the solution which they feel will best solve the problem and evaluate and critique their process. This includes the methods of handling citizen complaints to council members and city employees. Team building is based on the idea that the best efforts of all the team members can be maximized into a team effort which wi l 1 be a better effort than that of any of the individuals on the team. It is the desire of the City of Hutchinson to use team management whenever possible in its decision making. The city council and city staff are already making use of this concept in council activities. All department heads and their staff members who are involved in decision making should be making use of the team concept wherever they can identify a problem that has to be solved. The employees who must deal daily with departmental conditions and decisions of the department heads should have some input on these decisions, at least to the point of keeping the communication lines open. • Evaluation of the team management concept is part and parcel of the annual performance review.

STORM SEWER ASSESSMENTS Storm sewer projects are assessed on a square foot basis. 4 The cost per square foot is arrived at by dividing the total cost of the improvement by the total square footage of private and public owned property, exclusive of alley or street right of way. Storm sewers serve a certain drainage area in two ways; either as the trunk portion of the system or the lateral portion or portions of the system. The trunk system consists of the major line that is designed and constructed to carry all of the storm water collected from the drainage area. The lateral system is constructed with catch basins and connects to the trunk system. In most drainage projects, the trunk system is usually built as one project. The lateral system is not, due to the fact that the total drainage area is not developed. In existing drainage areas, both the trunk and lateral portions could be re- constructed in sections in different years. An individual's assessment would inmost cases be the cost per square foot times the area of the property. In those cases where the property is at the edge of a specific drainage district, only that portion within the district would be assessed. The . balance of the property would be in one or possibly two other districts and that area would be assessed when improvements are made in the other district. E 5 WATERMAIN ASSESSMENTS If not in a new subdivision, the assessment is on a front foot basis. The total cost of the project is divided by the assessable front footage to determine the front foot cost. SANITARY SEWER ASSESSMENTS The assessment is calculated on a front foot basis in the same manner as watermains.

In most cases, the improvements are E completed after some of the property has been purchased by individuals. These improvements are assessed, usually, on a per lot basis and this is set forth in the subdivision agreement. For those agreements that are not set up in that manner, the cost is totally assessed on a front foot basis for all improvements except storm sewer, which is done on a square foot basis. Since the total cost is assessed, no credits are available on new subdivisions. All subdivision agreements are required to be recorded by the developer in the office of the county recorder, as required by subdivision ordinance. It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain a title search before closing to determine the potential responsibility for future assessments, if any. L_ J POLICY - CITY SERVICES 0 GARBAGE SERVICE All single dwellings, two family residential and businesses are each required to pay a minimum monthly base charge for the availability of garbage service, whether or not the service is utilized. The base charge for businesses allows for one pick -up per month (2 -30 gallon cans).* More frequent pick -up or dumpsters are an additional charge. The city sets the dumpster charges. Termination of refuse service charges coincides with the water service. Owners /renters must notify the city of any such requests. In the event of a missed pickup or lack of service, the owner or tenant has the responsibility to notify the city. Within 48 hours the hauler must pick up the garbage, per city /hauler contract. Any complaints on garbage service are to be directed to Junker Sanitation by calling "collect" at 439 -7135. In the event the problem cannot be resolved, the city administrator is to be contacted, with subsequent referral to the city council, if necessary. A board of review (city council) holds a public hearing each May /June to discuss any proposed rate changes and complaints. The public is welcome to provide additional input at this time. ( *Interpretation of Contract by Junker Sanitation) E REDUCED REFUSE RATE (SENIOR CITIZENS Citizens that sign an affidavit (form) available . in the city administrator's office certifying they are over 65 years of age, or are disabled as defined by the social security administration, and whose income is less than the following, may receive a reduced refuse rate. Family Size Income 1 X7;660 2 $8,500 Minimum income limits include all revenue sources (social security, supplemental social security pension, etc.). DELAYED PAYMENT FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS Citizens over the age of 65 years for whom it may be a hardship to make payments on special assessments may delay such payments and interest under the following limitations: 1. Deferred assessments may be granted to persons with a low income of $7,000 per year for one person and $8,500 per year for a married couple; and 2. Deferred assessments may be granted to persons with an asset limitation of not to exceed $25,000, excluding the homestead. The applicant shall be available in the office of the city administrator for this deferral. If income and assets exceed the guidelines, and the applicant feels there is a special exception, the citizen may appeal directly to the city council for consideration. `a 0 SNOW REMOVAL As a general rule, after a heavy snowfall (3 inches or more) the city activates 2 graders and 2 front -end loaders at 3:00 a.m. and does the most heavily traveled area which is the downtown business district and elementary school. The snow in this area is windrowed and eventually picked up by the city's snow blower and trucks. The front end loaders proceed to clear the downtown alleys and city owned parking lots, pushing this snow into the windrows in the middle of the street. The city priority on picking up these windrows by ranking follows: Highway N7 East and West, Main Street, Grove Street for school buses, Franklin Street from Second Avenue to Washington, Second Avenue complete, First Avenue from Main Street west to Franklin, Washington Avenue complete, Third Avenue from Main Street to Hassan. The balance of the business district is then completed. At 4:00 a.m, the city's 3 one -way plows commence clearing our emergency streets which consist of the following: Oakland, Freemont, Century, Washington, Second Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Lynn Road, Roberts Road, School Road, Shady Ridge Road, Seventh Avenue, South Grade Road, and Michigan. By having these streets cleaned early most residents living on feeder streets have access to a major thoroughfare. Also at 4:00 a.m, the city's one-ton truck with plow and sander begins cleaning all city alleys to enable Junker Sanitation to move freely on garbage pick -up. Generally this task is completed around 6 :00 a.m. and then work activity begins with sanding intersections. The city is divided into districts so that each E plow operator is familiar with certain hazards and road conditions in his assigned area. After the emergency roads are plowed, 1 one -way plow heads for Clifton Heights and begins to work towards the center of town, 1 one -way plow heads for Lakewood Drive and works in, 1 one -way plow heads for the Civic Arena area and proceeds to plow toward the center of town, 1 grader goes to the Jorgenson Addition and works in, and 1 grader goes to Northwoods Avenue and works towards the center of town. The small pick -up with plow clears Ludtke Lane, Oakwood Lane, Delaware Street, Florida, Idaho and any odds and ends that he comes across. Burns Manor and the hospital are plowed by Erickson and Templin on an hourly contract rate. SNOW REMOVAL - PRIVATE The city street department will not remove any snow from private property. The city snow removal ordinance also states that no snow, leaves, clippings, debris, etc. be deposited on city streets. This ordinance clearly states that the city will not allow snow to be plowed onto the windrows wTiirch the city will continue to haul away. Violation of this ordinance will be closely monitored and violators may be subject to a fine. The City of Hutchinson has three snow disposal areas which may be used at no charge to dump private snow. We ask close cooperation be maintained with the city so that snow is dumped in an orderly fashion. i P L_J 0 SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL FROM SIDEWALKS A11 snow, ice, dirt and rubbish remaining on a public sidewalk more than 24 hours after its deposit thereon, is declared to be a public nuisance. The owner or occupant of any property adjacent to a public sidewalk shall use due diligence to keep such walk safe for pedestrians. No such allow snow, ice, dirt the sidewalk lonager deposit thereon. owner or occupant shall or rubbish to remain on than 24 hours after its Beginning 24 hours after any such matter has been deposited thereon, or after the snow has ceased to fall, the Director of Maintenance Operations shall authorize the City crew to remove the snow. The owner of property on which or adjacent to which snow, ice, dirt or rubbish has been removed by the City of Hutchinson shall be personally liable to the City of Hutchinson for cost of said removal. The City Administrator, upon receipt of information from the Director of Maintenance Operations shall authorize preparation of a bill payab —Te to the City of Hutchinson. On or before October 1st of each year the City Clerk shall list the total unpaid charges for each removal against each separate lot or parcel to which they are attributable under this ordinance, and the Clerk shall certify said charges to the County Auditor for collection the following year along with current real estate taxes. MAINTENANCE OF HOSPITAL & BURNS MANOR PARKING LOTS The city shall perform maintenance on the hospital and Burns Manor nursing home parking lots at no charge except for materials. STREET SWEEPING Main Street and downtown are to be swept every Monday morning, when possible. Residential areas are to be swept every 2 or 3 weeks when possible. OUTSIDE READING DEVICES From time to time the outside water meter reading devices may become defective in relation to the "actual" consumption registered on the indoor meter. Citizens are encouraged to compare these readings, and the city will remind citizens to voluntarily compare these readings via periodic notations on the billing statements. The water department, as a matter of internal policy, will perform a survey on a periodic basis and as time permits to determine if the outside reading devices are registering properly. Once a physical inspection is made or a discrepancy in reading is reported by a water user, the water billing department will send a letter of explanation. 0 0 Charges for water are based on inside meter /consumption only. The finance department does allow for payment over time, instead of a one time catch -up payment for failure of an outside reading device. In addition, no charges will be made for sewer on these catch -up billings; sewer being approximately one -half of a normal total billing for water and sewer. BULK PURCHASE OF WATER Bulk purchase of water is available by contacting the city administrator's office with terms as follows: A $20 deposit is required. Deposit is applied to the last month's key rental. The fee is $20 per month or part of a month. If the key is not returned to the city or if the key is lost and the city is not notified, user is charged for 12 months rental of the key for replacement costs.

Within an hour our wet well at the Wastewater Treatment Plant was flooded, and within 1.5 hours most of the sanitary sewer lines in Hutchinson were surcharged. The problem became worse after having a record amount of rainfall in April, which saturated the ground water, plus having home owners sump pinups surcharging to the sanitary sewer line, made the problem greater.

Every time there is a big rain, we get a mud slide from the ditch onto our parking lot. Also we request that something be done to improve the road along our • building (Third Avenue NW). The condition of the road is terrible. In 1981 when surveys for our business were done, there were 1100+ cars a day traveling on this road. Today it is much greater and with the changes being made at the intersection of Hwy 7 and School Road we see even a greater load. It would be in the best interests of safety and general use if the road past the Happy Chef and the Victorian Inn were extended and improved all the way to Hwy 15 by the dam.

At that time I expressed reservations concerning the ability of the municipality to conduct warrantless searches or impose penalties for failure to consent to a search or inspection of an individual's residence. I am enclosing a copy of an August 10, 1984 Attorney General's opinion dealing with this issue. In that instance the City of Sleepy Eye adopted an ordinance requiring inspection of a sewer users'premises after notice given to the user and an appropriate time and date being set for the inspection. Sleepy Eye made it unlawful to refuse to allow the inspection. The Attorney General's Office concluded "The general rule appears to be that, except in certain emergency situations requiring immediate access, an inspection of the kind contemplated under the facts herein may not be made without the resident's consent unless a search warrant is first obtained; moreover, refusal to give such consent may not be made the basis for a criminal prosecution." The municipality may institute a policy whereby consent for the inspections is sought but it is doubtful that such a procedure would have any substantial affect since those who are not in compliance with the ordinance would be unlikely to voluntarily consent to an inspection of their premises. I believe it would be possible to obtain individual search warrants authorizing inspections in the event an individual refused to give consent. McQuillin's Municipal Corporations at Section 19.29 states, "Administrative searches to enforce public safety ordinances in non - emergency situations constitute L_..J O -G O C Z O a -4 O Z • Mayor Ackland and Councilmembers May 29, 1986 Page Two searches within the Fourth Amendment and must be conducted under the authority of a search warrant in the absence of consent. This rule applies to residential and commercial premises, although with respect to the latter, inspection of a licensed business engaged in activities which have a high risk of involvement with illegal conduct or which pose a serious danger to the public may be permitted without a warrant. While the probable cause requirement for issuance of a warrant must be met, what constitutes probable cause is to be evaluated in light of the nature of the search to be conducted, ie an administrative search. Therefore, warrants issued by a court for an area -wide search pursuant to an inspection program would appear to be reasonable and issuance would not necessarily depend upon a showing of specific knowledge of a particular building having a particular violation. Rather, it would appear that the warrants issued upon a showing that there is a reasonable basis to believe that some of the premises in the area may not be in conformity with the health, fire or safety ordinances." Since I have no idea as to the extent or number of sump pumps that are not in compliance, I have no estimate as to the number of individuals who would not voluntarily consent to a search or inspection of their residence. If the number of refusals were high, obtaining search warrants for each individual residence as required by the constitution would involve a considerable amount of time and effort. It is also doubtful that such warrants could be obtained without public awareness; and it is my understanding that if an indiviudal has advance notice, the connnection from the sump pump to the sanitary or storm sewer system can be disconnected relatively easily and the system brought into temporary compliance. The Attorney General's opinion suggests that we may be able to condition the receipt of municipal services upon a home owners consent to a warrantless inspection. I have contacted the League of Minnesota Cities and requested information concerning any other municipality which may have adopted such a procedure. I am reasonable certain that prior to the termination of any services for failure to consent to a search the individual would have to be allowed administrative due process through the form of a public hearing and I am not certain as to the effectiveness such a procedure would have in reducing our perceived problem. • Mayor Ackland and Councilmembers May 29, 1986 Page Three I will continue to research this question if you should so desire. Sincerely yours, CITY OF HUTCHHI`NSON By/ I�f. N James Schaefer Hutchinson City Attorney JHS:dlp Enclosure LJ • August 10, 1964 Errol E. Hauser Sleepy Eye City Attorney Hauser and Schmid Attorneys at Law 109 Main Street West Sleepy Eye, MN 56085 Dear Mr. Hauser: This is in reply to your letter concerning the authority of the City of Sleepy Eye to inspect private homes in connection with the enforcement of a city sewer ordinance. You state, in substance, that the sanitary sewer system of the city is under tremendous stress due to the large quantities of waste water being disposed of through it. The stress is compounded by storm water also being discharged directly is through the system by homeowners. Sump pumps are being discharged directly into it and it is necessary, in order to prevent backup of the sanitary sewer into homes, that the amount of water running through it be reduced. The city is passing an ordinance making it unlawful for any person to discharge a sump pump directly into the system. The city is also making it unlawful for any person to construct a home without a sump pump being installed capable of pumping storm water into the owner's yard. The ordinance authorizes the city to appoint an inspector to view a sewer user's premises after notice is given to the user and an appropriate time and date is set for inspection. The user receives a notice and is contacted by the inspector. A time and date is established within one week after that contact. The time can be extended for good cause. The city has made it unlawful to refuse to allow the inspection as set out in the ordinance. lrrol E. Hauser -2- August 100 1984 If a homeowner is running his storm water into the system, the ordinance makes it a misdemeanor. The violation is a continuing offense until Corrected. It also is made a misdemeanor to refuse to allow an inspection to determine if there has been compliance. In connection with the foregoing facts you ask, in substance, whether the city may inspect the sewer system in a private residence if the resident refuses to allow the inspection. You also ask whether such refusal may be made a misdemeanor with the offense continuing until the inspection is allowed. Although this office does not attempt to make a general review of local ordinance provisions to determine their validity or ascertain possible legal problems (Op. Atty. Gen. 629 -a, May 9, 1975), we can address the specific issues you have identified in connection with the ordinance in question. The general rule appears to be that, except in certain emergency situations requiring immediate access, an inspection of the kind contemplated under the facts herein may not be made without the resident's consent unless a search warrant is first obtained; moreover, refusal to give such consent may not be made the basis for a criminal prosecution. •The leading case is Camara v. Munici al Court of San Francisco, 387 US 523, 1S L Ed 2d 300 SCt 1727 196 which involved an individual charged in criminal proceedings with violating the San Francisco Housing Code by refusing to permit building inspectors to inspect his residence without a warrant. The Court held that, under the Fourth Amendment, applicable to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the defendant had a constitutional right to insist that the inspectors obtain a warrant to search the premises. The Court further held that the defendant could not constitutionally be convicted for refusal to consent to the inspection. For an analysis of this and subsequent cases, See Lacek, Camara, See, and Their Progeny; Another Look at Administrative Inspections UnaEr the Fourth Amendment, 15 Colum. Journal of Law and Social Problems 61 (1979)y see also 5 McQuillin, Municipal Corporations § 19.29 (3rd ed. 1991-T- 6 Am. Our. 2d Searches and Seizures, § 15 (1973).1/ 2/ The Camara case was cited by this office in Op. Atty. Gen. 59 -a -9, July 26, 1967, which discussed the authority of the courts to issue search warrants to facilitate the enforcement of building codes. irrol X. Hauser -3- August 10, 1964 • While it seems clear from the foregoing case that the city may not constitutionally compel its residents to submit to warrantless inspections as contemplated in your letter, it may be able to condition the receipt of municipal services upon the beneficiary's consent to a warrantless inspection, assuming, of course, that there is a reasonable relationship between such inspection and the services being furnished. At least, the decision in N-�mon v wo. James, 400 US 309, 27 L Ed. 2d 408, 91 S.Ct. 381 (1971 uld seem to point in that direction. In that case, an individual's benefits under Aid to Families with Dependent Children were terminated because she refused to permit a caseworker to visit her home. Sustaining the termination, the Court held that, even if the visit was a search (which it was not), it was not unreasonable, it served a valid and proper administrative purpose for the dispensation of the AFDC benefits program, it was not an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and it violated no right guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. For an analysis of this case and its impact on the question of conditioning municipal services upon consent to a warrantless search, see Note, Administrative Search Warrants, 56 Minn. L.

HLAD Attorney General GL"RARD Acting Solicitor General MINUTES HUTCHINSON PLANNING COMMISSION "01? YpUR /NFp Tuesday, May 20, 1986 RMgTjpN 1. CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Vice - Chairman Shu -Mei Hwang at 7:30 p.m., with the following members present: Spencer Beytien, Thomas Lyke, Marlin Torgerson, Elsa Young and Vice - Chairman Hwang. Members absent: Roland Ebent and Larry Romo. Also present: City Administrator Gary Plotz, Director of Engineering Marlow Priebe and City Attorney James Schaefer. 2. MINUTES Mr. Beytien made a motion to approve the minutes of the regular meeting dated April 15, 1986. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS (A) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY GERALD BLOCK Vice- Chairman Hwang opened the public hearing with the reading of publication #3549 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on . Thursday, May 8, 1986. The request is for a con itional use permit to allow the operation of a convenience store /gas station and car wash in a C -4 zone. Mr. Block was present to explain the request. He presented a drawing showing the parking plan for the site. Discussion followed. It was determined that 12 spaces are necessary for the car wash and 8 for the convenience store /apt. units. Director Priebe noted that the plan must show traffic flow and that the cars must be able to maneuver easily. Mr. Block was directed to rework the plan for traffic flow and parking before consideration by the City Council. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing at 7:49 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Beytien, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit, with the stipulation that the applicant reorganize traffic patterns for the car wash so it is acceptable to staff. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. (B) CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED BY DAVID MCGRAW Vice - Chairman Hwang opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. with the reading of publication #3551, as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, May 8, 1986. The request is for a 3' variance to allow the construction of a single family residence 3' from the sideyard property line. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 Mrs. Carl Nelson, future owner of neighboring property was present to state her objection to the request. Vice- Chairman Hwang read a • letter from Mr. and Mrs. Nelson stating their objection to the request. Mrs. Nelson later asked about fire equipment being able to get between the two homes (proposed and existing house to the east). Mr. Ron McGraw, representing applicant David McGraw, was present to state that the home previously on the property was destroyed by fire and although the proposed building requires a variance, it is an improvement (over previous and existing situations). He also stated that it is a square- shaped lot which doesn't allow much for construction of one -story homes; the proposal meets all other requirements; and there is an existing driveway and curb cut off Fifth Avenue that would be used for the proposed house. He further explained that the proposed house is not for the present owner but for a propective owner of the property. Mr. Mike Schmidt, 512 Lynn Road, asked what the hardship was stated his objection to the request. Mr. McGraw stated that the hardship was that they would not have a buyer for the property. There was discussion of an existing garage on the property. It was deter- mined that the existing garage would not remain on the property. (A conditional use permit to move the garage to another site was approved April 22, 1986.) Mr. Dallas Hansen, person interested in purchasing lot and building proposed house, stated his concern was that he would like to use existing driveway, and with the six foot setback, there would be too much swing to get into the garage. He stated that it would also involve moving a large tree. Dr. Lyke asked if there had been any consideration of an L- shaped house. Mr. Torgerson read conditions for granting a variance from the ordinance. He stated that although changing a curb cut could be an economic consideration, the ordinance prohibits using economics as the only basis for granting a variance. Administrator Plotz explained that the staff recommended the request be denied based on the fact that the property could be put to a reasonable use without the variance, by using a different layout. After discussion, Dr. Lyke made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried and the hearing was closed at at 8:05 p.m. Dr. Lyke made a motion to recommend that the request for a variance be denied. The motion was seconded by Mr. Beytien. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion followed. Dr. Lyke amended his motion to include "based on the fact that we didn't feel the test of reasonable use was met and that the property could be put to another use." The motion to amend was seconded by Mr. Torgerson and carried unanimously. (C) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY JON OTTESON • Vice- Chairman Hwang opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. with the PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 reading of publication #3552 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, May 8, 1986. The request is for a conditional use . permit to allow the construction of a 14' by 20' addition to an existing, nonconforming garage located at 558 Hassan St. S. Mr. Otteson was present to explain that the request is for an addition that will allow him to park a full size car in the existing garage and add a workshop/ storage area. He stated that the entire structure will be resided and a new roof will be put on it. Other options would require him to remove a large oak tree and would cause a safety problem with backing into the alley blindly (neighboring garage would block view). City Administrator Plotz explained that this request also requires a variance. Staff recommended approval based on the fact that other options are not reasonable. A 6' setback would require the person to back into the alley blindly. As it is planned, they are coming in at an angle. Mrs. Young noted that he is not building a whole new structure, but adding to an existing structure. Director Priebe explained that the because the structure was built in accordance with the ordinance in effect at the time, the conditional use permit is allowed. Administrator Plotz added that because it is an existing structure, it should not be automatic. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as the existing garage was nonconforming when it was built. Seconded by Mr. Beytien, the motion carried unanimously. (D) CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED BY JON OTTESON Chairman Hwang opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. with the reading of publication #3553 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, May 8, 1986. The request is fora .3 rearyard variance and a 3.7' sideyard variance to allow the construction of a 14' by 20' addition to an existing, nonconforming garage. Dr. Lyke questioned the reasons given to show hardship, noting trouble reconciling siting an oak tree as a hardship. He questioned whether or not a variance is necessary. He further stated that as the ordinance provides for a conditional use permit to expand an existing, nonconforming structure that was built in compliance with the 1962 ordinance, the present setback require- ments don't apply. Director Priebe responded that if in the request to expand, the expansion can be done without violating present setback require- ments, a variance is not required. He stated that the conditional . use permit allows the expansion. The expansion is then reviewed to see if it meets present setback requirements. If not, a variance is required. F PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 Dr. Lyke made a motion to table consideration of the request until the City Administrator can find out if the request can be granted with just a conditional use permit. The motion died for lack of a . second. City Attorney Schaefer explained that there is a difference in talking about a hardship for an existing building rather than a building for a vacant lot, as what you can do with an existing building is much more limited. After discussion, Mrs. Young made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend approval of the variance as the existing garage is nonconforming, the owner did not create the hardship and other alternatives are not reasonable because of the safety factor. Seconded by Beytien, the motion carried, with Dr. Lyke voting nay. (E) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT AS SUBMITTED BY HARLOW STILLINGS Vice - Chairman Hwang opened the hearing at 8:37 p.m. with the reading of publication #3554 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, May 8, 1986. The request is for consideration of a preliminary plat to be known as STILLINGS -HOEFT ADDITION, which is located on the south end of Graham Street and west end of Milwaukee Avenue. Mr. Stillings was present to explain the request. Driector Priebe • stated that he had not met with Mr. Stillings regarding improvements. He told Mr. Stillings that he has the option of hiring a private engineer and contractor to do the improvements or the City will be able to look at doing them in 1987. He stated that the City could not do them before that time. Director Priebe submitted a certification that the Preliminary Plat as submitted meets the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance, as per Preliminary Plat Data. He noted that prior to the final plat, a subdivision agreement must be executed and parks and playground contribution must be paid. Dr. Lyke expressed concern from the Utilities Commission regarding platting such a small piece of property. He asked if there was a larger, overall plan for the area. Director Priebe responded that there is a plan of which the Utilities Commission could be given a copy. Dr. Lyke stated there was no objection from the Utilities Commission. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8:39 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the preliminary plat, as it has met all the requirements. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. 4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 (F) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE #464, SECTIONS 6.03, 6.05, and 6.08 is Vice- Chairman Hwang opened the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. Dr. Lyke made a motion to waive reading of the publication notice #3555. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. City Administrator Plotz explained that the amendment is a result of a follow up of what is now State law. City Attorney Schaefer explained that the amendment will make it more difficult to justify the granting of a variance, and noted that the language was pulled directly from State Statute. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torger- son made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the amendment as proposed. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS (A) REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Director Priebe explained that he had attended the Park Board meeting on May 7, where the Park Board reviewed the plan regarding future park land. He further reported that they have no . recommendations for change at this time, but will review the map again and make recommendations each year before the Planning Commission reviews the plan. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. 5. NEW BUSINESS (A) CONSIDERATION OF FINAL PLAT OF HELLAND'S SEVENTH ADDITION Director Priebe submitted certification that the final plat meets all the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance as per "Final Plat Procedure ". He noted that there were no changes from the preliminary plat as previously approved by the commission and counicl. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the final plat, as it has been certified by the Director of Engineering. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. (B) CONDSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTED BY GERALD GASSMAN TO COUNTY (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) Mr. Gassman was present to explain that he is platting approximately 7 acres into 3 sections. The name of the plat is . TARADIDDLE ACRES. He also presented a map of how the property would be subdivided if it ever came into the City. 5 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 Director Priebe stated that there should be a subdivision agreement drawn up prior to the approval of the final plat, which will address how improvements will be handled and parks and playground contribution in the event of the property comes into the City. Mr. Hwang read letter of approval from Acoma Township. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the preliminary plat, subject to subdivision agreement being drawn up prior to approval of the final plat. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. (C) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTED BY GEORGE HERBERT TO COUNTY (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) Mr. George Herbert was present to answer any questions about the request. Letters from the Hutchinson Town Board approving the plat and MnDot stating that only one entrance will be allow to David Lee Acres and that access will have to be off Herbert Drive were presented. Director Priebe asked who would be responsible for moving the access. Mr. Herbert responded that he would. Director Preibe stated that he would like reference to that and a reasonable time frame for moving the access in the subdivision agreement to be drawn up before approval of the final plat. Mr. Herbert also explained that the County would like the proposed street names changed. • After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the preliminary plat upon completion of a subdivision agreement. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. (D) CONSIDERATION OF REZONING OF TARADIDDLE ACRES AS SUBMITTED TO COUNTY (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) (Agricultural to Rural Residential) After discussion, Dr. Lyke made a motion to state that the Planning Commission has no objection to the rezoning as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Beytien, the motion carried unanimously. (E) CONSIDERATION OF REZONING OF NORTHVIEW ACRES AS SUBMITTED TO COUNTY (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) (Agricultural to Rural Residential) After discussion, Dr. Lyke made a motion to state that the Planning Commission has no objection to the rezoning as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Beytien, the motion carried unanimously. (F) PRESENTATION BY SUPERINDENT OF SCHOOL DISTRICT #423 GLENN MATEJKA Superintendent Matejka presented the site plan for the proposed education building. He explaned site, parking plans and expansion plans as shown on the drawing. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MAY 20, 1986 6. ADJOURNMENT . There being no further business, Mr. Beytien made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

Hutchinson, MN 55350 Re: Mike's Mobil North Dear Gary: / Enclosed is a statement from Juul Contracting to Mike's Mobil in the amount of $1,706.60 for repair of his water service. As I understand it, the break or leak occurred west of the curb and in the street. As I understand it, the city's policy is that the property owner pays for the repair from the main even though the leak may occur outside the property owner's boundaries. This does not seem to be fair. It has also come to my attention that there have been several other property owners with similar problems and that there is some indication the piping when it was initially installed was inadequate. Since the city prepares the specification for the pipe and supervises its installation, if there is deficient pipe this would seem to be the city's problem and not the property owner's. My purpose in writing to you is to see if the council would consider relieving Mike of this payment in view of the circumstances. If you have any questions, feel free to get back to me.
