HUTCHINSON PLANNING COMMISSION
December 17, 1985
• 1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Roland Ebent at 7:30 p.m.
with the following members present: Marlin Torgerson, Elsa Young, Don
Erickson, Thomas Lyke, Shu-Mei Hwang, and Chairman Ebent. Members
absent: Larry Romo. Also present: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz,
Director of Engineering Marlow Priebe, and City Attorney James Schaefer.
2. MINUTES
Mr. Erickson made a motion to approve the minutes of the regular meeting
dated November 19, 1985. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried
unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY RICHARD
GOEBEL
Chairman Ebent opened the hearing at 7:30 p.m. with the reading•of
Publication 13492 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 30' by 50' addition to an
existing residence located at 536 Goebel St., which is in an I -1
(Industrial) zone. Chairman Ebent noted that this was an unusual
situation as the residence was there first and the industrial area
.grew up around it.
City Administrator Plotz stated that he had received a call from ,a
neighbor to the north stating that as long as the addition was for
residential purposes (not office space for the Goebel business), he
had no objection to the request. 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.

II. Service
A. Basic Plant Capabilities
Polishing -- manual with either mirror bright or satin finish
on steel, copper, brass, zinc, aluminum and stainless steel.
Plating -- manual
metals plated include copper, nicKel, chrome, brass, gold,
electroless nicKel. Base metals plated
include zinc, aluminum, brass, steel and stainless steel.
Other finishes- -clear coat for brass, etc.
Machin ing-- driiiing- tapping, light milling and lathe worK. •
B. 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

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

SUBJECT: Refuse—Pick-Up—On Snow Day - Richard Danielson
---- ---- --------- ----- - - - - --
Richard Danielson has requested his request for reimbursement of $1.73
(1/4 of $6.90 /mo.) be placed on the agenda because he did not receive
garbage pick -up on December 2, a major snow storm.
• The section of the city that would have been serviced is the southeast
area shown on the attached map. 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.

After talking on the telephone with Mrs. Wayne Albrecht (Secretary

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. No call was received at the Junker Sanitation number
with any complaint or they would have sent someone back for the garbage.

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.

a transfer resolution necessary each year.
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.

Mayor Paul Ackland and the
Hutchinson City Council
RE: Sidewalk Tree Plantings
Dear Mayor Ackland:
At the Council meeting of January 14, 1986 I was
requested to draft an Ordinance regulating the planting of
trees within the sidewalk right -of -way. 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.

RE: ASCAP License, Hutchinson Civic Arenas Hutchinson, HN
Dear Mr. Bowman:
I forwarded your letter of November 15, 1985 to the
Hutchinson City Council for its consideration. I also
• provided the City Council with a letter from myself outlining
the history of this dispute and the various alternatives
available for the resolution of any conflict between the city
of Hutchinson and ASCAP. They were given complete copies of
all correspondence between the city of Hutchinson and ASCAP.
The Parks and Recreation Director submitted his
recommendations to the Hutchinson City Council by letter dated
January 13, 1986.
By resolution made and duly passed on the 14th day of
Januarys 1986 the City Council determined not to enter into
any agreement with ASCAP and directed the Parks and Recreation
Director to discontinue the use of any ASCAP licensed Music at
the Hutchinson Civic Arena. I have informed the Council of
the potential problems should violations of this policy occur
and they are aware that your organization may make periodic
checks to determine the existence of any violations.
Sincerely yours,

The request for purchase for rugs at the Recreation Center include
the following:
3M XTRA Duty Nomad $714
Additioanl Carpet Matting $805
Currently we are renting rugs which cost approximately $60 /week.
The rental company has quoted us a price of $46 /week for all rugs
except the 3M XTRA Duty Nomad. This rug can be obtained only by pur-
chase. Therefore, the comparison of rental versus purchase must be
made between the $46 /wk. and $805, or 17;1 weeks of rental would equal
• the $805 purchase price. I feel that they would last considerably
longer than 171g weeks and recommend we purchase the necessary rugs.

Dear Gary:
At our regular monthly meeting of the HHRA Paul Ackland submitted
his resignation from the board due to his new position as mayor of
our city. Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Hutchinson
Housing and Redevelopment Authority unaminiously recommends to the
Hutchinson City Council that Pastor Gerrit o enaar, pastor at
Vineyard Methodist Church, be appoin e o . We would
request that you address this at your next City Council meeting.
• Also, after much discussion, the HHRA Board voted unaminiously that
we relinquish the management of the Hutchinson Senior Center to
another Board of the City of Hutchinson if agreeable to the City.
i_ We ask that you also bring this before the next meeting of the
City Council.
Thank you for your

SU&JECT: Managemettof Senior Citizens Center
----------------- ------- - --- --
In view of the recommendation from the HRA Board to discontinue the manage-

lowing: •
1. The Senior Center Advisory Board closely ties in with the
function of the Park and Recreation Board and, therefore,
could report to that board their recommendations.
2. The day -to -day management over that function should be
delegated to Bruce Ericson inasmuch as many of the activi-
ties coordinated by Barb Haugen are of recreation and arts
and crafts nature.

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.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON

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.

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. To give you an idea of our costs, as per your request, we antici-
pate that we could do the full service, which would include all the services
on the attached proposal, plus a full risk management audit of the various
entities plus specifications and remarketing of the renewals for approxi-
mately $800 per month. This would be a flat fee and would include our normal
expenses. The only expenses that we would anticipate extra would be for
travel initiated at your request.
American Risk Services,hu.
I look forward to working with the City of Hutchinson and their entities. If
you do have any questions, please call me.

SUBJECT: Proposal for Insurance Consulting Services
Dear Mr. Plotz:
Risk Management

6600 France Ave. So.
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. Client references and
contacts will be provided upon request.

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.

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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY CMNCIL
RE: [4GE
*Attached you will find the job performance reviews for all personnel in
the cemetery department, motor pool, street department, water department,
waste treatment plant and city hall maintenance.
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

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.

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.

TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Bruce Ericson, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: January 21, 1986
SUBJECT: Performance Reviews
Performance reviews have been completed for the entire Parks and
Recreation staff. 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.

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.

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

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.

Dear Mr. Dinneen and Mr. Madole,
i
Thank you for your response of December 18 and also for the response •
from Mr. R.C. Jones of December 23.
The Airport Commission met on January 8th and reviewed both your cor-
respondence and mine. City Attorney James Schaefer was present to pro-
vide his response to your letter(s). 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.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation.
