It was noted that the addition will be a family room, bath, laundry and shop area. Mr. Erickson asked who is doing the work. Director Priebe responded that he thought it was a contractor, and added that the reason work has been started is that they got a permit for the footings so they could proceed with that before the weather made it impossible to begin. At the time, staff was not aware that the parcels had separate ownership which made a variance necessary. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 7:35 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as requested. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. • (b) CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED BY RICHARD GOEBEL 1 Z/ -�?(';� Chairman Ebent opened the hearing at 7 :35 p.m. with the reading of publication #3494 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, December 5, 1985. The request is for a variance to allow the construction of a 30' by 50' addition to an existing • residence, 15' from the sideyard property line. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to closed the hearing. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 7:38 p.m. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the variance as requested. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY DAKOTA RAIL, INC. Chairman Ebent opened the hearing at 7:38 p.m, with the reading of publication #3495 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, December 5, 1985. The request is for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 103' by 24' pole type building for the purpose of storing diesel locomotives on property located at Erie St. and Second Ave. S.E., which is located in an IC -1 zone. City Administrator Plotz explained that in the winter months a diesel locomotive must be housed in a heated building or must be left running. Putting the locomotive in a building is much less expensive and cuts down on the disturbance (noise, odor) to the neighboring residents. . He noted that the Building Official wants the applicant and Manning Commission to be aware of the fact that a survey showing the location of existing buildings and the proposed buildings must be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit. This is necessary because of the close proximity of other buildings and the distance between the buildings determines what type of wall construction is required to meed the fire code. Mr. Michael Ross, representing Dakota Rail, I_nc., was present to explain their proposal. He stated that the building would house two locomotives, with little extra room. He further stated that basically the building is used for storage, but that there would be some maintenance work done inside the building. They have a similar building at a location in South Dakota, of which he will bring pictures for the Council to review. Mrs. Delores Brunner, 968 Hayden, leasee of the the warehouse located on the property, stated that their major concern was fire safety. They store salt in the warehouse. Mr. Ancher Nelsen, 900 Hassan St. South, stated that they were temporarily leasing a building for the locomotives and were negotiating to get that time extended. If so, they would be able to look at other sites. However, if their lease were not extended S they weuJ4 prefer to build at the site as proposed. 1 Discussion followed. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they approve the concept of the proposal; however, they felt that they would like more specific information about the • diesel house and the operation of such. Rather than hold the request up, however, they would approve the concept and requested that Mr. Ross bring in more specific information before the Council took final action on the request. Mr. Erickson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8:05 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council appproval of the concept, with the stipulation that Dakota Rail provide more detailed information to the City Council before they take action on the request, and with the contingency that a survey showing the location of existing buildings and the proposed building be submitted before the building permit is issued. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONTINUATION OF REZONING HEARING FOR ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH Chairman Ebent continued the hearing on the rezoning request submitted by the Assembly of God Church at 8 :10 p.m. He stated that they have withdrawn the request. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing at 8:10 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. w 4. OLD BUSINESS (a) REVIEW OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OF HELLAND'S SEVENTH ADDITION Chairman Ebent explained that the plat had been referred back to the Planning Commission as some required data had not been provided previously. City Administrator Plotz stated that he had requested a Certificate of Approval by the Director of Engineering stating that the preliminary plat meets all requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Certificate was submitted by Director Priebe. City Administrator Plotz also noted that contour lines had been added to the plat maps as required. Mrs. Young made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the plat as presented. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. (b) DISCUSSION OF UTILITIES' COMMENTS ON NEW PLATS Director Priebe explained that proposed plats have been submitted to the Hutchinson Utilities Commission, Crow River Cable T.V., and the Hutchinson Telephone company with a request that they make . comments and return them to the Director prior to consideration by the Planning Commission. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission did 3 respond with the requested information. The telephone company responded with only minimal information and Crow River Cable T.Y. did not respond at all. Director Priebe stated that he felt they should be notified of the importance of this type of communication and said he would submit a letter to inform them of such. . (c) DISCUSSION OF RENTAL HOUSING REGISTRATION Mr. Torgerson asked if there had been any action taken on the housing ordinance. Discussion followed. City Administrator Plotz said staff is reviewing "education" options. 5. NEW BUSINESS None. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

Proprietory position 1. sKilled trade of efficent polishing of variety of parts. 2. consistarnt quality of plated parts by experienced people with trained assistance. 3. specialized in plating on aluminum. C. Comparisons to competitors' products New customers have switched to our service because: 1. we do better worK 2. we are cost competitive 3. we have faster service III. MarKet Analysis A. Description of total marKet Because of the expense of set-.ing up specialized plating processes, plating shops usually develop certain areas of expertise in the Elating field. Large shops such as Superior Plating of Minneapolis have large tanKs for doing large run parts in zinc or chrome. Superior Plating does limited polishing. S & K Products of Minneapolis specializes in chrome plating of plastic parts for the automobile industry. They do not, however, plate brass nor do they do small jobs. Pine Plating of Pine Island, Minnesota does chrome plating and polishing of steel. The;, do extensive machining and fabrication of 2 Business Plan • parts for plating. New Dimension Plating (formerly Ty's Metal Finishing) is a Polishing and Plating shop committed to quaility finished parts in large or small quanities. Our flexibility and personal care are our trade marKS. B. Industry Trends Production of large quality parts is becoming less labor intensive and more automated. Large volume parts are accepted without high polishing being required. Some parts are only pre - polished before forming. Due to tighter pollution regulations, some smaller speciality shops are going out of business. Speciality shops are needed by industries as well as by individuals. C. Target MarKet areas will be in three main areas. 1. Medium -sized industrial and small growing industrial 2. Local area high -tec firms 3. mail order rechroming for individuals 4. wa1K-in rechroming for individuals D. Competition There are no other shops that provide regional or national • custom plating in our area. A shop of this nature which does custom motorcycle plating only is Brown's Plating, Paducah, KentucKV. There are limited shops that plate brass, plate on aluminum or are able to produce special antique finishes. 1V. Manufact;,ring Process A. Polishing Process Smooth finish is produced insteps' 1. pits, casting marKs are ground off with sanding belts(120 gr it ) 2. coarse sanding marKs are removed with finer belts(2eO grit) 3. fine sanding enhances the finish(400 grit) 4. parts are buffed with soft polish wheels with polishing compound 5. final color buffing br?.ghtens parts for plating process B. Plating Process (a general description) 1. 2. contact 3. • 4. throughou parts are degreased to remove Polishing residue and oils parts are put on special racKS to insure electrical parts are chemically cleaned in insure good plating rinsing and any special chemical treatments are done t the process E Business Plan 3. the major plating usually taKes place in the nicKel tanK. • NicKel is electrolytically disolved at the anode. The metal ions are then electrolytically deposited on the part being plated. Special plating brightness both smooth and brighten the finish. 6. a thin layer of chrome is deposited to give the silver color of chrome 7. parts . are rinsed, dried and pacKaged for shipment S. various steps may be added or changed to produce gold, brass or copper finishes C. Suppliers Numerous chemical companies are represented in the Twin Cities area. However, a good worKing relationship with a few companies allows for technical assistance and consultation. HawKins Chemical, Mpls. major raw acids and caustics Industrial Chemical, Mpls. plating equipment and represents M&T Chemical WO Forbs, WIs. polishing supplies and eIectroIass nicKel supplies Finishing Equipment Co., Eagan degreaser solvent and polishing supplies Worum Chemical, MPIs. waste disposal equipment and waste hauling Pace Lab, Golden Valles consil is pollution control and tests for pollution V.

Notice by Junker had been on the radio. The past unwritten policy is that adjustments on the billings for major storms are not made, primarily for these reasons: 1. The same garbage is picked up one week later, equivalent to two weeks garbage. 2. It is nearly impossible to double the refuse crew within the 48 hour response period to perform two days of work in one day. 3. For a billing adjustment standpoint, our three regions (quar- terly billing) would not match the five regions Junker has established (Monday - Friday workdays program). Mr. Danielson said he would not be attending the Council meeting and would not he placing his complaint in writing to the Council. /ms • cc: Diane Olsen Ken Merrill Jim Junker Y OF HUTCr' IN CIV 7 3'ASHINGTON AVENUE WEST JTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: December 12, 1985 T0: _ _ Gary _Plotz� City_ Administrator _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FROM: _ _Diane Olsen, Water _Biliin$ TgclLnic _jaiL _ _ _ _ SUBJECT: _ _ RicharcL Danielson ` i- Reimbunumwt- RequesI _ _ _ _ After talking on the telephone with Mrs. Wayne Albrecht (Secretary for the Hutchinson office of Junker Sanitation) it has been determined Mr. Richard Danielson who resides at 1445 Hwy 7 West does not live in the portion of the city which did not receive garbage pick -up on Monday • December 2nd due to the snow storm. �v <His normal day for garbage pick -up is Friday and if he did not receive garbage pick -up on that day it was due to an oversight on the garbage hauler's part.

Merrill, Finance Director and Gary D. Plotz, City Admin. ------------------------------ SUBJECT: 1986 State Fiscal Crisis ------------------------ - - - - -- Last Friday, January 24, Mayor Ackland, City Administrator Plotz and Finance Director Merrill attended a Coalition of Outstate Cities meeting. Governor Rudy Perpich attended and heard from the Coalition members the problems of the rural economy and the impact of state budget cuts. • From the Governor and his aids, as well as information from the League of Min- nesota Cities Executive Director, Don Slater, the following may result because of the State's fiscal crisis. The Governor's proposed cuts affecting cities and the impact on the City of Hutchinson follows: REDUCTION IMPACT TO HUTCH. 1. Reduction of Local Government Aid 8.1 $69,700 2. Reduction of Homestead Credit 8.78 26,900* 3. Restructure of Payment Schedule None Loss of Interest (Some State short term financing cost) 4. State Aid Road Money will also be reduced. TOTAL PROPOSED CUT $96,600 *Dollars based upon 1985 received. This impacts all funds which a tax levy was made. Several things must happen before we are sure of the cut. First, the Legislature must meet and decide if they agree with the Governor's proposal. Second, if the Legislature cuts, it may be contingent upon a revenue forecast due in May. • There appears to be strong opinion from the cities that cuts should be made else- where. It was pointed out only five percent of the total State budget goes for local government aid. Much discussion will be taking place before the cuts become law by the Legislature. The session is scheduled to end by March 31. • RECOMMENDATION Under the Governor's proposal we are looking at $96,600 reduction plus possible interest lost on investments. We currently have $84,000 remaining in the contin- gency account. Since the City does not yet know how the fiscal crisis will im- pact the City of Hutchinson for the present time, the following action is recom- mended for the general fund: 1. A recommendation of reserving the balance of contingency account at this time, pending Legislative action. 2. Ask all Directors to review their general fund budget and be pre- pared to react if further cuts are necessary. 3. If a short fall occurs, the fund balance would be used after items 1 and 2 have been exhausted. June 1 we should know what the impact will be and could possibly reinstate merit review and other expenditures. /ms -2- 0 • • RESOLUTION NO. 8198 CITY OF HUTCHINSON RESOLUTION FOR PURCHASE The Hutchinson City Council authorizes the purchase of the following: ITEM COST PURPOSE DEPT.

In checking the 1982 project (S & L Rehab.), it has not generated sufficient taxes to meet debt service for 1985. Per the agreement, the City is billing directly 29% of the 1985 debt service. According to Tony Victorian the valu- ation has been increased for 1986. We will again review the taxes generated and take appropriate action. /mS • RESOLUTION NO. 8199 TRANSFERRING $19,800 FROM 1980 TAX INCREMENT DEBT SERVICE FUND TO 1982 TAX INCREMENT DEBT SERVICE FUND BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: THAT $19,800 is hereby transferred by the 1980 Tax Increment Debt Service Fund to the 1987 Tax Increment Debt Service Fund for the payment of bonds and interest of 1985.

I was also requested to explore the possibility of obtaining a release of liability • or a Hold Harmless Agreement from each of the property owners responsible for the planting and maintenance of a sidewalk tree. After discussing this matter with Dennis Potter, Representative of Insurance Planners, it was determined that such a release of liability Would not be in this instance a practical method of protecting the city's interests. At the present time the city's insurance covers all boulevard trees. Sidewalk trees would be automatically included under this coverage at no additional expense to the city. Obtaining a release of liability or a hold harmless agreement from the property owner may result in costly and expensive litigation over the nature and extent of the city's coverage. A release of liability or hold harmless agreement would not prevent an individual who was damaged by a sidewalk tree from naming the city as a defendant in a civil action. It would merely mean that if the city was found liable as a result of that action, it could seek payment from the business. If the business had inadequate insurance or insufficient assets to pay the judgment, the city would be responsible for any excess. It was Mr. Potter's recommendation that the city treat sidewalk trees in the same manner that they treat boulevard trees. • S}\��'(c,`',e�"r,''e�'l -yam tyour , Jadfes H.

Members absent: Don Erickson. Also present: City Administrator Gary Plotz, Director of Engineering Marlow Priebe, and City Attorney James Schaefer. MINUTES Mr. Hwang made dated December unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS a motion to approve the minutes of the regular meeting 17, 1985. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried (a) PRESENTATION OR REZONING PROPOSAL BY JOHN KORNGIEBEL Mr. John Korngiebel was present to explain his proposal to rezone property located on the east side of School Road North from C -4 (Commercial) to R -3 (Multiple Family Residence District). He presented drawings of a proposed 24 -unit apartment complex. The proposed apartment complex has been designed to meet the requirements of R -3 zoning. Mr. Torgerson noted that the property adjoins property already zoned R -3 (to the north) so the rezoning wi11 be an extension of existing R -3 zoning. Mr. Korngiebel explained that they have considered rezoning more of the tract, but would prefer to go with just the north 188' at this time. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would have no objection to the proposed rezoning. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to set a public hearing on the proposed rezoning for the next regular meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 1986. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF HARVEY DAHLMAN SKETCH PLAN AS SUBMITTED TO MCLEOD COUNTY (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) City Administrator Plotz explained th @t the sketch plan had been reviewed by the Township and the City had received their statement of approval. Mr. Harvey Dahlman was present to explain that he wants to divide off an acre and a half of his property so that his son can build a . home on the property. Chairman Ebent asked about access to and from the property. Mr. Dahlman explained that the driveway would be 400 -500' from the intersection, as required by the Highway Department. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to state that the Planning Commission has no objection to the Sketch Plan as proposed. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. (C) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED TO MCLEOD COUNTY BY ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH (WITHIN TWO MILE RADIUS) City Administrator Plotz explained that the Assembly of God Church had applied to the County for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a church in the "I -1" Industry District. Director of Engineering Priebe explained that the proposed site was not in present Comprehensive Plan. After discussion, Mr. Romo made a motion to state that the Planning Commission has no objection to the request. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. (D) DISCUSSION OF ORDERLY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT City Administrator Plotz explained that he and the Mayor had met • with representatives from the four surrounding townships and a representative of the State Municipal Board to discuss updating the expired Joint Orderly Annexation Agreement. He further explained that the agreement had expired in 1983, and without such an agreement, annexation has been a more difficult and lengthy process. He stated that they will meet again, and wants the Planning Commission to be aware that they are working toward a new and updated agreement which will be presented to the Planning Commission upon completion. (E) DISCUSSION OF PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT FOR CONDOMINIUMS IN R -3 ZONE City Administrator Plotz explained that the building permit for a proposed condominium project is being held up as there is some question on whether or not a P.U.D. is required. Director Priebe explained that some of the building requirements differ, depending upon whether or not the P.U.D. is required. City Attorney Schaefer explained that it is his understanding that a P.U.D. is required in R -1 or R -2 Districts when cluster housing of more than 5 units is planned, and in R -3 if the development is proposed to be constructed over a long period of time. If the developer builds an apartment building and • intends to sell each unit individually, but expects to rent the units for a time, the building should be built so that it meets the requirements for both. Director Priebe stated that he felt that this should be clarified in the ordinance so that the City is consistent in its requirements. • After discussion, it was decided that Attorney Schaefer and Director Priebe check into revising the ordinance to make the section on Planned Units Developments more specific. Administrator Plotz will obtain data on other cities' P.U.D. requirements. Attorney Schaefer recommended that the developer apply for a conditional use permit for a planned unit development. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Mr. Romo, the motion carried unanimously and the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. (612) WY -5151 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON , MINK 55350 TO: Mayor 6 City Council FROM: Bruce Ericson, Parks A Recreation Director DATE: January 23, 1986 SUBJECT: Consideration or Replacement Light Standards for Tartan Park Support for the Tartan Park Baseball field renovation project has been tremendous since July of 85' when a committment was made to make Tartan Park a first class baseball field. The project had been men- tioned for several years prior, however, we were unable to go ahead due to uncertainty of the future location of the wastewater treatment plant. When this was resolved you might say "baseball fever" spread throughout Hutchinson. To bring you up to date, the following is a quick synopsis of what has happended: -the Hutchinson Baseball Association was formed for the • purpose of raising money to help with the renovation project. - through the sale of a calendar, the association began their fund raising effort. - letters have been sent to the following organizations requesting financial aid for lighting the ballpark: -Minnesota Twins -Upper Midwest Amateur Baseball Association -3M - Hutchinson Technology - United States Baseball Federaton - United States Olympic Committee V.F.W. - Legion -to date, the assocaiotn has $14,700 committed towards lighting and has secured a loan for the balance in order to make the purchase from Musco Lighting. The cost of the lights is $24,272. -a search was also being made for used light towers, since the towers which existed at one time were no longer there. Used towers were found in Mora, MN, however, when the cost of tearing them down, transportation, footings, additional bolts, angle iron, etc, were considered, it was felt that • purchasing new (wood) poles would be a wise decision. The costs would be comparable and propably less expensive to go with wood and also carry a guarantee of durability in - - -- - -- winds up to 80 M.P.H. and gust of up to 120 M.P.H. Mayor 6 City Council Light Standards for Tartan Park • January 23, 1986 Page two -the price of the complete lighting project including poles Is $32,632 with Hutch Utilities making arrangements to set the poles and do the underground wiring. The Hutchinson Baseball Association intends to install the lighting at this price and truly appreciates the committment the city has made to this renovation project. They also consider the improvement of the field each year a project they will continue to give their full support. As their fundraising continues, the only "snag" seems to be the mystery of the light towers which existed at one time. I am requesting that an appropriation of $7.860 be made to purchase the poles. I realize that this is not a budgeted item, but hope that you would give this careful consideration. klm • 1(' ,� �� >�S �� �m. stiff � ;� � nu�ir •.up. * lis 16 PACES I'n 1 Y, 1 FRIL 29, 1948 NUMBER 17 ,STUDENTS r tl"�WETE FOR Et lic I CT II01US t f 1 f} }` Ul T TUDAY, TOMOB�TOw f! ��l !.IAA TO DRAW 1•+ „1 6�. -- U � �� i C1I1NSON STUDENTS .._ _® ENGINF:F.BS off HUTCHINSON 61 n, -: musheal 0ffrlrts -o[ - GLENCOL' PAYIJIG Pn OJECT ,had Instrumental ale- Good Neighbors' Start Fund SET UP OF'F'ICE WERE 'Good ,h rehuuls will be put nday and lommrow as muaieiaau juuracy to for life District Music btival. soloists and ensembles It of tho departments phltiug their talents '.base of students from 4 other schools Irk this o•, t- 'arger groups m- lhe lids, urchestras, lid choirs fronn the purti- whools will enter the n, finishing off a busy a public program to- - ening.

On lire darker side tie reported: "There will be very little fruit in this section this year. The fruit buds were damaged last fall Ly the balmy w'catiher and Lire sud. den freeze -up." Because of the mild weather, he explained, the fruit buds didn't harden and gel ready for winter.

Minneapolis, MN 55435 (612) 920 -0106 Telex 29 -0497 Attached, please find our proposal for continuation of the services now offered by the D. A. Tange Company. It is our decision to continue the fees and contract that the City of Hutchinson and D. A. Tange Company entered into, until such time that we can evaluate the full needs for the City. This, of course, will include the Hutchinson Community Hospital, the Utilities Commission and Burns Manor Municipal Home operations. As the proposal points out, when we can make a closer determination of your exact needs, we will then offer a proposal on our full risk management program.

Minneapolis, MN 55435 (612) 920 -0106 Telex 29 -0497 American Risk Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal for continuing insurance consulting services. This proposal is based upon the current arrangement with the D. A. Tange Company. As a point of reference, • the D. A. Tange Company's contract for services is essentially insurance consulting services. As the need arises for complete risk management services, an additional proposal will be developed for additional services. American Risk Services, Inc. is not affiliated or aligned with any agent, Insurance company or provider; consequently, we can assess the City of Hutchinson's program objectively and represent you in an unbiased manner. Our proposal encompasses the following services: CONTINUING COUNSEL SERVICE Insurance Consulting Services can be provided on an ongoing basis. Our continuing counsel service provides for routine services in insurance. Clients without a full time risk /insurance manager, as well as clients who want to supplement their own internal expertise, can benefit from the continuing services of our staff. The following is a description of the routine services to be provided to the City of Hutchinson, the Utilities Commission, Hutchinson Community Hospital and Burns Manor Municipal Nursing Home: 1. Loss Reports: We will review loss experience reports on a quarterly basis; developing trends and future lose projections with the resulting Information being used as a guide to development of a loss control program. American RistSecriccMnc. Mr. Gary D. Plotz -2- December 18, 1985 City of Hutchinson 2. Claims Handling: Review and assist in handling specific claims as required by the City's staff. Routine claims will be handled through the insurance agency and carrier. All lower back injuries to the City's personnel or subjectively "high value" claims will be submitted to the consultant for assistance. Any other claim as determined by the City can also be submitted to the consultant for assistance to assuring a timely and equable settlement. 3. Renewal Negotiations: Review all renewal quotations and evaluate the insurance proposals by ranking of the following areas: a. Premium Costs b. Policy Provisions C. Insurance Services (e.g., loss control, claims handling, act.) d. Financial Status of Insurance Carriers • Upon evaluation by the consultant, the consultant will submit to the City to determine the most cost effective insurance program. 4. Contract Review: As requested, we will review (other than insurance) contracts and determine how these contracts will affect your insurance program. This will include a review of your current procedures regarding contracts for outside services, lease of premises, etc. 5. Premium Allocation: Annually, we will review the insurance carriers' worksheets and prepare an equitable method for allocation of insurance premiums to various departments as directed by the City. 6. Invoice Verification: As requested, we will review and verify that insurance premium invoices are correct as quoted, prior to payment by the City. 7. Review of Audits: Annually, we will review the insurance auditor's premium audits on all policies that require an audit. This includes Workers' Compensation, Ceneral Liability, Property, etc. Any error or disputed items will be negotiated on your behalf, to make sure the City is not being excessively charged for the exposure. AAmerican Risk Serviccs.lnc. Mr. Gary D. Plotz -3- December 18, 1985 City of Hutchinson S. Review of Lose Sensitive /Group Dividend Programs: All policies that return a portion of the premium to the insured in the form of a dividend or other loss sensitive plan will he reviewed for accuracy relative to loss experience and premium. All calculations will be verified to ensure that all refunds to which the City is entitled are received. 9. Monitoring of Insurance Program: Our consultants will review your insurance program to verify that the insurance exposures are properly "treated" by the insurance contracts. In addition, we will monitor premium cost as well as other adjustments based upon loss experience, insurance market, and changes in the nature of the City's operation. We will continue to pursue more cost effective methods to treat the exposure to loss, such as consolidation of policies when possible and increasing deductibles where prudent. 10. Telephone Access: \J American Risk Services, Inc. will be available for telephone consultation to answer questions and concerns as needed. SCHEDULE We propose to assume the responsibilities of the current consultant's duties effective December 1. 1985. FEE The continuing insurance services will cost $375.00 per month, plus expenses. Invoices shall be due and payable by the first of each month. (e.g., for work performed in January, the January invoice will be paid by January 1.) American Risk Services's clients have benefitted substantially from our services. The financial implications due directly to our procedures were in the specific areas of comparisons of funding arrangements, claims handling, specifications, and loss treatment activities.

Plotz, Citv Administrator ------------------------------ SUBJECT: Merit Increases ---- --- --- --- -- --------- - - - - -- GEORGE FIELD Only one director has an anniversary date in January/February and that is George Field. The performance review has been completed. I find George very knowledgeable of his Job. He has taught this past year at the State Fire School and is on the Roard of Directors of the Fire Instructors Associ- ation. His communications within and without the organization have greatly Improved. It is noted that, in part, his voluntary participation in "Toast - maters" was on his own time and effort. From my perspective, he is increas- ing attempting to foster harmonious relations, while maintaining the ebarac- ter and requirements of the law. George has met his job requirements, plus accomplished his objectives beyond the job description. In my analysis I have also considered the attached survey of fire marshal! salaries. Therefore, I recommend a 3% increase: Current Hourly Pay $13.85 Recommended Hourly Pay 14.27 Additional Yearly Cost to City S864.24 After the $864.24 increase, hia salary would be $29,672.24 vs. $30,539.00 outstate cities or $32,136.00 all survey responses. George will be requesting a different placement in the pay plan grade system, in view of the above survey and, also, the nature of his job in relation to other individuals within the City pay plan. The pay equity committee should convene probably on an annual basis to see i.f there needs to be any grade ad- justments or discuss any such requests. Therefore, I would suggest thin be done in late spring or summer. Irregardless of the anticipated grade request, the 3% appears reasonable at this time and is within his present grade. iI MERIT INCREASES PAGE 2 KAYE LINK Kaye has been employed by the City for three years and has been outstanding at performing her job description. She has the most training and knowledge of the wide range of computer programs and has become the critical back -up person for many of the programs, including water billing. She aggressively is willing to take on new tasks, and does an exceptional job with follow through on Planning Commission items. Therefore, I recommend a 4% increase and will then be approximately 100% (mid- point) of her range.

After a thorough analysis and review of their jab descriptions and jab performance, I wish to recam end to the city council pay adjustments to the following three employees and reasons for this decision. Doug Meier - motor pool supervisor A 9-year employee who was promoted to my assistant and motor pool supervisor in 1980. Doug has shown initiative, cost consciousness, and enthusiasm for his position, saving the city many dollars in wise • maintenance practices. He is currently at 958 of his pay scale. I reco- mmend that he be placed at 1008. Current hourly pay $11.35 Recommended hourly pay 11.98 Additional yearly cost to city 1310.40 Henry Heinecke - wastewater plant operator Henry had prior experience at the Benson wastewater plant when he was employed in 1984 to assume Randy's position upon his prootion. Henry is a hard worker and does many chores, freeing Randy 's involvement in the new plant planning. He is an asset to the city and currently holds a class B wastewater license. Henry is at the 908 point of his pay scale. I recommend he go to 958. Current hourly pay $ 9.78 Recommended hourly pay 10.34 Additional yearly oost to city 1164.80 Eugene Baasen - street maintenance operator Gene bad a little over 4 years service when the city adopted the new position classification assignment table which brought everyone with at least 5 years service to the 1008 point of his pay schedule. It is no more than fair now that he has over 5 years service that his pay be adjusted to the 1008 point. Current hourly pay $ 9.39 Recommended ended hourly pay 9.90 Additional yearly cost to city 1060.80 *In personnel file q -T (612) 587.5151 F CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O DATE: November 21, 1985 TO: Mayor and City Council - City Administrator - Personnel Coordinator FROM: Homer Pittman, Building Official RE: Wage Adjustment - James Marka, Assistant Building Inspector Mr. Marka has been with the Building Department a little over one year now. During this time, he has obtained his Building official Certification Class II License and has good knowledge of codes and expresses himself well and with tack when explaining code changes or alternate ways of accomplishing the same requirements. He gets along very well with other employees and contractors we have to work with. Mr. Marka has good initiative and some good ideas. He was very impressive to me when we did the Builders Pamphlet and proposed the Rental Housing Ordinance. I am therefore asking, that the Mayor and Council grant Mr. Marka a 58 Merit increase in wages for the coming year. HP /pv 0 Homer Pittman Building Official 9 -Tl (612) 587 -5151 F CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O DATE: November 7, 1985 TO: Hazel Sitz, Personnel Coordinator FROM: James Marka, Assistant Building Inspector RE: Performance Review In response to the 1985 Performance Review, I would like to add my comments concerning the Inspections Department. This last year has been an experiencing year with the Inspections Department. Items of daily events include design interaction with Engineers, Architects and Contractors; Zoning ordinance and all phases of construction from remodeling homes to commercial/industrial projects. There is no routine pattern and decisions must be correct and explicit. Recently, the state increased the minimum requirements for continuing education and the certification for inspectors. The Inspections Department must maintain its professional /responsible duty, and must maintain its present recognition as such. The knowledge and expertise in Zoning ordinances, building design, construction, supervision and administration are complicated and require continuous study efforts. I feel the pay grade classification for the Inspections Department should be that of other professional administrative positions and by comparison, is underpaid at this time. By comparison to Mankato, the City of Hutchinson inspects more volume of work with approximately half the staff. It is wonderful to see Hutchinson prosper and grow during this economic time. I feel the standard of living is comparable to that of the metro suburbs and salaries should be comparable. The frustration, stress and thankless efforts that go along with inspection positions are at times overbearing. We try hard to be progressive, optimistic and to work effectively and efficiently. Please remember this during salary review. �" � JJ 1 � �lL'.x� James G. Marks Asst. Bldg.

I feel that the decision that these reviews be done on an employees anniversary date will make the process more meaningful and thorough. Considering each person individually provides the best situation for an accurate review. Although the reviews have been com- pleted, I will be reviewing everyone again at their anniversary date, and making merit recommendations at that time. This will keep con - sistancy within the department by applying the same process throughout. There are, however, two employees in the department who have been with the city five and one half years and should be at the 100% level according to the adopted pay plan. • Karen McKay Secretary, Parks & Recreation Mary Haugen - Civic Arena Coordinator I recommend that they be adjusted from their current level (98 %) to 100 %. This would bring both individuals to the proper level in the pay plan and provide equity throughout the department. The effect of this salary adjustment would be: Karen McKay - Current hourly rate (98 %) - $7.83 (100 %) - $7.97 Yearly Change - $291.20 Mary Haugen - Current yearly salary (98 %)- $24,358 (100%)-$24,873 Yearly Change s $515.00 These changes would assure that all personnel have followed the same process and that further reviews and recommendations will be made at individual anniversary dates. • klm s (612) 587 -5151 ITY OF HUTCHINSON VASHINGTON AVENUE WEST WINSON, MINN. 55350 TO: Mayor S City Council FROM: Bruce Ericson DATE: January 23, 1986 SUBJECT: Barb Haugen Merit Adjustment Considering the recent developments with the Senior Center, City Administrator; Gary Plotz and myself have reviewed Barb's current evaluation, and discussed her programs and duties at length. We both feel that Barb does an outstanding job providing programs for the seniors and the success of her endeavors cannot be questioned. She has been with the city for three years with her anniversary date falling in January. Currently she is at the 95% level and we recommend that due to her past performance an adjustment to 98% is justified. The effect of this adjustment considering Barb's reduction to • half -time is approximately $300. klm • �_T' RESOLUTION NO. 8199 RESOLUTION DECLARING COST TO BE ASSESSED AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT ROLL NO. 209 WHEREAS, cost has been determined for the improvement of: T.H. 22 South from Oakland Avenue to 12001 South and School Road North from Carolina Street to California Street by the construction of Watermain, Storm Sewer and Appurtenances; and the bid price for such improvement is $56,686.45, and the expenses incurred or to be incurred in the making of such improvement amount to $12,471.02, so that the total cost of the improvement will be $69,157.47.

The members were sworn in and Chuck Carlson was elected chairman. Please review the attached minutes in your City Council packet. As follow -up to that meeting, we attached the memo of January 10. 1986. STATUS OF CERTIFICATES OF TITLE FOR AIRPORT APPRAISALS As a update to the Citv Council agenda item regarding certificates of title, we report that the certificates were again mailed in. This time they were sent certified mail to both the Willmar office of DOT and the St. Paul office of DOT. Please see my attached let- ter. • LIBRARY PROJECT On Friday, January 10, John Horrocks, Ralph Bergstrom, Mary Henke, Ken Merrill, George Field, Homer Pittman, and myself met regarding the status of this project. We agreed to hold up on payment to the electrical contractor, approximately $5,300, until he finishes apprnxi- mately one -half a day's worth of work on the check list. The plumbing and heating by Krasen has been reported to be completed satisfactorily. We are withholding approximately $5,500 to Korngiebel until this project is completed and $1,500 regarding two pieces of furniture that need to be replaced. The same committee will meet again before any full payments will be made on the project to assure that all items are completed. It is noted that the Building Official will be issu- ing a final occupancy permit shortly inasmuch as the items remaining are not related to the building code. GYM /POOL PROJECT Today the four glass basketball backboards are heing installed. By this afternoon the school district will he using those backboards and tomorrow night the City's recreational basketball program will return to our facility. The gym /pool building committee will meet tonight at 5:00 P.M. to review the check list of items dated December 11, 1985. Most of these items have been completed. —0 s noted that we are presently holding back $23,OOn on this project for items relating to the pool, mechanical, electrical and general contractors. r ADMTNISTRATIVE UPDATE -2- JANUARY 14, 1986 0 MEETING TONIGHT WITH V.F.W. Bruce Erickson and I will be meeting with the V.F.W. tonight. The Baseball Association and City staff are recruiting financial support to build the new baseball diamond at Tar- tan Park. Specifically, the Baseball Association has requested $5,000 from the V.F.W. to- ward the purchase of lights, the estimated cost is $24,272. It is noted that this total. project is approximately one- fourth of the way completed to date. The lighting is a major portion of the project. By the next Council meeting we will probably kno., whether or not the Baseball Association hs raised the total $24,272. If this can be achieved, it will be an outstanding effort inasmuch as the funds will not be coming from the City budget or any other bond issue for the lights. The poles for the lights will probably be a separate agenda item requiring a minimum amount of money and will be placed on the Council agenda of January 28 as a special funding request. It is noted that there is a tremendous interest in baseball and it is noted that the Twins luncheon that will be held locally has sold over 150 tickets and there is a waiting list to attend the function. CITY STAFF MEFTS TO UPDATE ASSESSMENT SEARCH FORMAT On January 8 Jim Schaefer. Ken Merrill, Homer Pittman, George Field, Cal Rice, Jo Runke, and myself had a meeting to take suggestions how to improve the assessment search. We will be proposing an improvement format to the City Council for consideration at an up- • coming workshop. We also plan to include on the reverse side of the assessment search a section on definitions for such things as unpaid bills and pending assessments. REPLACEMENT FOR INSURANCE CONSULTANT DWIGHT TANGE On Wednesday, January 8, the administrators of the utilities, the hospital, Burns Manor Nursin4 Home, Ken Merrill and myself met regarding the situation of Dwight Tange's termin- ation of his insurance consulting services. For your information. his services were to be through June 1, 1986. Dwight has turned over his accounts to another consulting com- pany who h ?s visited with us on several occasions. It =-as the consensus at the meeting that on an interim basis we continue at the same price with the consulting firm that Dwight Tange h?s recommended. It is noted that the school district has done likewise. We will be placing this on the Council agenda of January 28 for your consideration of our recom- mendation. In the meantime, I'll be preparing proposal forms on behalf of all the entities so that we ran solicit proposals from other firms that do the same type of activity. We have now Just three firms in the field. It was the consensus of the group that we would meet again After those proposals were received and make a recommendation on the future of insurance consulting services for the various entities.

He advised the Commission of his cover letters of July 9, and September 30, 1985, that verify the trans- mittal of the Attorney's Certificate of Title for the Hutchinson Airport Appraisal process. (See attached.) Also I enclosed a copy of a memoran- dum to the Mayor and City Council, dated January 9, that highlights an error in a zipcode. I contacted the local post- office today and was told that even if there is a zip -code error, the procedure is that the zip code is corrected and the correspondence generally comes 2 - 3 days later than normal. Irregardless of the problems thus far, the Airport Commission wants to proceed with good feelings and in a rapid manner. Therefore, I have enclosed a copy of the Certificates of Title by certified mail. The Certificate of Title of the City's 80 acres of the NW end on the runway (page 4 of the ceftified survey) will be under a separate mailing of Monday, January 13, 1986.
