BOARD OF REVIEW
FRIDAY, MAY b, 1983
The meeting was called to order by Mayor DeMeyer at 10:12 A.M. for the purpose
of acting as a Board of Review for the 1983 assessments. Present were: Alderman
Mike Carls, Alderman Ted Beatty and Mayor James G. DeMeyer. Absent: Alderman John
Mlinar and Alderman Kenneth Gruenhagen. Also present: City Administrator Gary D.
Plotz, County Assessor A. 0. "Tony" Victorian, Brad Emans and Hal Kirchoff from
the County Assessor's Office.
Mr. Gary Plotz read Publication No. 3052, Assessment Notice. The following ques-
tions were presented by property owners regarding property assessments and reviewed
by the Board.
1. Elmer Maker Stated he purchased his house located in
527 Graham Street Town 6 Country Estates in May 1982 and
moved into it on June 3. He had discussed
homestead credit with Brad Emans, but it did
not appear on his 1983 tax notice.
Brad Emans reported that June 1 was the cut-
off date for homestead credit. He had dis-
cussed this deadline with the property owner,
and he was not eligible since he moved in on
June 3.
Tony Victorian suggested the property owner
file through the circuit breaker to try to
obtain some of the tax amount back. It is
based on income.
2. Rein Wickmann Thought his tax was high. He also had a prob-
518 Huron lem with homestead credit and had only received
one -half for mid -year. There was one year the
property was not homesteaded. Mr. Wickmann
also owned a house in another city.
3. Rev. R. S. Crouse Commented that there was dead land in the back
590 Peterson Circle of the property and felt it was over- taxed.
(Representing Mrs. Rev. Crouse asked for a re- evaluation of the
Peter Ruud, 229 Fifth land. The property is presently for sale,
Avenue NE) but no one has shown an interest in buying it.
The property is owned jointly by Rev. Crouse
and Mrs. Ruud.
It was agreed that the assessors would come
out and review the property. assessment.

5. John Miller
714 Shady Ridge Road
Stated he had been told the taxes would not
go up much, and they had gone up considerably.
Mr. Swenson inquired how taxes were determined.
He felt the valuation had dropped.
Brad Emans stated the assessor goes through a
house and determines the value. He had been
through Mr. Swenson's house after the Clifton
Heights area was annexed into the City limits.
He further pointed out there were special as-
sessments added on to the property taxes.
Mr. Swenson commented he had been told a cer-
tain amount for special assessments, and the
figure was higher than quoted. He had been
opposed to annexation from the beginning and
had problems ever since annexed into the City.
Mr. Victorian stated there had been a five -
year stepup so taxes had gone up.
Mr. Emans reported the value had stayed the
same this year, but there was a $15,000 dif-
ference between the City and township. The
township taxes had not reflected an additional
216 square feet as well as extra plumbing and
a fireplace.
Objected to the real estate taxes for resi-
dential lots that were developed but vacant.
Mr. Miller stated the taxes went up 30 -40% the
past year, which increased the cost of a lot
by $1,000. There is a limit to what the buyer
can pay so the owner gets stuck with the addi-
tional cost. Out of 8 lots, he lost money on
five of them. He couldn't understand how the
City cost had gone up that much.
Tony Victorian commented that throughout the
county vacant lots are figured at 50% of the
value for taxation purposes. The State deter-
mines the tax on property. Once a house is
placed on the lot, the value and tax go up.
In past years, vacant lots carried a lower
assessment, but the taxes have gone up in the
last few years.
The Board of review adjourned at 11:10 A.M. and reconvened at 1:35 P.M.

It was reported the assessors had reviewed the property of Rev. Crouse and Wally
Swenson. An adjustment was made on the valuation of the back lot of the Crouse
property, with a reduction in taxes of $1,600 (from $26,100 to $24,500). No change
was made on the tax notice for Mr. Swenson's property.
Discussion centered on the development lots owned by John Miller.at Clarks Second
Addition. Mr. Miller was basically complaining because the taxes had increased,
and he wasn't making any profit. There wasn't much the county could do about the
value inasmuch as it was set at one -half the value of the lot. A suggestion was
made to defer assessments on development -type property.
Mr. Victorian reported that for next year the ratio is low for commercial and in-
dustrial properties; however, no definite figures will be known until November.
There seemed to be a problem with apartment buildings since income wasn't support-
ing the sale price.
Mayor DeMeyer stated that in view of the reports and items reviewed, the Council
should consider accepting the reports as outlined by the County Assessors.
It was moved by Alderman Beatty to accept the report and recommendations on parcels
discussed today. Motion seconded by Alderman Carls and carried unanimously.
The motion was made by Alderman Beatty, seconded by Alderman Carls, to adjourn at
2:30 P.M. Motion approved unanimously.

ed after the hearing notices were mailed out. A second hearing would not be
required since the assessment amount would be decreased rather than increased.

ing the project and clarification of the method used for assessment. He

seconded by Alderman Carls and unanimously carried.
(c) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ATTORNEY
The City Attorney called the Council's attention to the abandoned property
of John McLaughlin located at 136 Huron Street. The heirs are all deceased,
and no one has a large enough share to maintain the property. Attorney Schaefer
requested permission to publish an order to remove or repair the property.
In the event the heirs did not respond, the City could legally proceed to
remove or repair the property and charge the costs back to the assessment on
the property. He pointed out the taxes have not been paid, and the property
will soon be sold for back taxes.
Alderman Beatty moved to authorize the City Attorney to proceed with an order
on the McLaughlin property. Motion seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen and car-
ried unanimously.
(d) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN TED BEATTY
Alderman Beatty inquired about the deferred rulings of one item from the

SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1983
1. CALL TO ORDER
The special meeting was called to order by Mayor DeMeyer at 7 :30 P.M., with the
following present: Alderman Mike Carls, Alderman John Mlinar, Alderman Kenneth
Gruenhagen, Alderman Ted Beatty, and Mayor James G. DeMeyer. Also present: City
Administrator Gary D. Plotz and City Engineer Marlow V. Priebe.
2. PUBLIC HEARING - 7:30 P.M.
(a) IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 83 -03
Mayor DeMeyer called the hearing to order and read Publication No. 3065,
Notice of Hearing On Improvement Project No. 83 -03.
City Engineer Priebe introduced the project on Franklin Street from Second
Avenue Southwest to 66 feet south of Third Avenue Southwest by the construc-
tion of grading, gravel base, bituminous base, bituminous wear, curb and
gutter and appurtenances at an estimated cost of $52,514.00.
It was reported the Council had approved widening the street on the east
side of Franklin for on- street parking, but it wasstill an oiled street
without a base and in poor condition. The cost of oiling the new section
would not be cost - effective, and the City Engineer recommended that the City
consider constructing the street with a gravel base and a finished surface.
Ron Horswell Mr. Horswell stated he had addressed the is-
326 Franklin sue before at a preliminary hearing. He is
not a homesteader at this address but the
property owner. He pointed out the other
land owners in the block are older people.
The street improvement would not help him
any and would not enhance the short -term value
of the property. He felt the improvement was
not for him or his neighbors but rather for a
few commercial people. He inquired why the
project was divided.
Mayor DeMeyer The Mayor stated this project would not af-
fect Mr. Horswell's property.
Bob Prochnow Mr. Prochnow asked if the size of the road
200 Franklin S. would be larger than normal and if everyone
would be assessed the same for the street.
He stated he did not have large trucks going
into his property, and he would be opposed to
a project whereby he would be assessed the
same as those who use heavy equipment.
COUNCIL MINUTES
MAY 31, 1983
City Engineer City Engineer Priebe reported it would be a
nine -ton street. The assessment would be
based on zoning for commercial and residen-
tial.
Al Cheney Mr. Cheney commented he was opposed to the
236 Franklin S. project. A few years back the businesses along
the east side of the street acquired the street
from the City and redid the parking lot. It is
lower than the street so now there is a hump.
He didn't feel the property owners should have
to pay for reducing the street down to the level
of the parking lot. He also thought the land
owners should have been notified of the street
widening project before the project was started
on the east side of the street. The businesses
may need a nine -ton street, but he only drives
a van or car.
City Engineer Mr. Priebe stated that Third Avenue had been
vacated and turned over to the property owners,
but they did not lower the grade. The existing
hump had been there for a long time, and the
street had not been graded. This is the final
stage of the project.
George Schulte Mr. Schulte remarked that the bottom line for
246 Franklin most people when confronted with an assessment
is "who will profit from it ?" It was his opin-
ion that those on the west side of the street
would not profit from it, but the project was
for the benefit of the Red Owl store and other
commercial businesses involved. He thought the
road seemed very usable and in better shape than
some of the other streets in the area. The
needs could be met by maintaining and repairing
the present street. He felt the drainage was
adequate so he couldn't see any reason for the
project. Mr. Schulte questioned the chances
of the area developing as a commercial entity.
City Engineer City Engineer Priebe reported that the proper-
ty in the area is zoned commercial but used as
residential. "When" development happens de-
pends on the economic situation.
It was moved by Alderman Beatty, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to close
the hearing at 7:57 P.M. Motion unanimously carried.

and unanimously approved.
(b) IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 83 -04
Mayor DeMeyer read Publication No. 3066, Notice of Hearing On Improvement
Project 83 -04.
City Engineer Priebe reported the improvement for parking on the east side
of Franklin Street from Second Avenue Southwest to 66 feet south of Third
Avenue Southwest was approved for widening. The proposed project is a com-
bination project with sidewalk improvement for construction of bituminous
base, bituminous wear and appurtenances at an estimated cost of $6,745.00.
The cost would be assessed to two property owners, namely, the Red Owl and
Hutchinson Telephone Company.
The motion was made by Alderman Carls, seconded by Alderman Mlinar, to close
the hearing at 8:00 P.M. Motion approved unanimously.
Alderman Carls moved to defer action. The motion was seconded by Alderman
Mlinar and carried unanimously.
(c) IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 83 -05
Publication No. 3067, Notice of Hearing On Improvement Project No. 83 -05,
was read by Mayor DeMeyer.
City Engineer Priebe reported on the improvement project of Franklin Street
from 66 feet south of Third Avenue Southwest to Fourth Avenue Southwest for
construction of grading, gravel base, bituminous base, bituminous wear and
appurtenances, at an estimated cost of $19,084.00.
There was discussion regarding the need for a nine -ton street. Any change
in the project would be for the difference in cost to be borne by the City.
The estimated cost submitted to property owners was for a residential street.
Ron Horswell Mr. Horswell stated his former comments ap-
326 Franklin plied to this project also. He felt the City
was determined to "dress up" that little sec -
tion of the block when there were other streets
that needed more attention.
Alderman Mlinar moved to close the hearing at 8:08 P.M. Motion seconded by
Alderman Gruenhagen and approved unanimously.
It was moved by Alderman Carls, seconded by Alderman Mlinar, to defer action.
Motion unanimously carried.

The estimated cost of the improvement is $758,000.00.

COUNCIL MINUTES
MAY 31, 1983
City Engineer City Engineer Priebe stated this was not the
cause. Prior to 1969 when the storm sewer
was put in, the City had done improvement in
the area. He had listed the proposed street
improvement into three categories: A) oil, B)
gravel, and C) unimproved street. It was his
recommendation to use "A" for construction im-
provement.
Unidentified Man He raised a question on the timeframe of when
the project work will be started and completed.
He also asked if the residents would have to
live with dug out roads for a year. The gen-
tleman inquired about the interest rate on the
assessment.
City Engineer
The City Engineer responded that all the work
was under contract for this year, but the bulk
of the work would be done next year. The non-
assessable underground work would be done this
year.
Mayor DeMeyer
The Mayor reported the interest rate was de-
termined by the sale of the bonds by the City.
Ed Schultz
Mr. Schultz questioned the cost of the project.
(representing Grace
Be stated that the short side of the property
Lutheran Church)
is completed on Fifth Avenue.
Albin Plath
It was reported by Mr. Plath that he had a
605 Grove
short side and long side involved in the
project. The short side was on Grove Street.
Duane Hagen
Mr. Hagen asked about the percentage of streets
635 Brown
in Hutchinson that have permanent surfacing.
He also inquired if it was common practice to
assess people for street work. Mr. Hagen
wanted to know how the streets were divided up.
Steve Roth Mr. Roth inquired if there would be a need
636 Brown for assessment on these roads for approxi-
mately 21 years.
City Engineer Mr. Priebe stated that after four years there
would only be maintenance costs.
Steve Roth Appreciation was expressed by Mr. Roth regard-
ing Alderman Carl's comments on the sale of
bonds next year to save on interest. He won-
dered if anyone knew the projection for next

year relating to interest rates and if there
was a bonding consultant to advise the City
in these matters.
Lyle Block Mr. Block wanted to know if the City consider -
705 Brown ed this to be the worst area in town since it
was selected for improvement work. He asked
when the water main project work would be done.
City Engineer City Engineer Priebe stated the work would be
done as soon as possible so the service could
be connected for next year.
Mrs. Lyle Block Mrs. Block inquired about dust treatment and
if the cost would be added to the assessment
or included in it.
Keith Bentz It was reported by Mr. Bentz that there was
826 Franklin nothing wrong with the block. There are no
pot holes. He owns the big empty lot on the
corner and would favor alternative No. 3.
Clarence Freitag Mr. Freitag mentioned that gravel base was
615 Brown put on the street when it was constructed.
He wondered if the gravel would be hauled out.
City Engineer Mr. Priebe commented that the gravel wasn't
graded down properly. The City will try to
save everything possible to keep the cost down.
Unidentified Man He asked if the street department employees
couldn't take more care in cleaning the streets.
They take the repaired places out with the
equipment.
Lyle Block Mr. Block stated that he would be opposed to
alternative No. "B ", which would be a gravel
road.
Unidentified Lady She questioned why the City decided to take
the short side for assessment instead of the
long side.
Alderman Gruenhagen moved to close the hearing at 9:50 P.M. Motion seconded
by Alderman Mlinar and carried unanimously.

Items discussed were the Highway 15 south roadside planting, Arbor Day ceremonies
and the 1983 Elm removal city contractor.
After discussion on expenses and risk of handling, the board approved the use of
city dump trucks with tarps to pick up ordered boulevard trees from Baileys
nursery in St. Paul. Board chairman, Jerry Brown advised not to use city dump
trucks, but instead use an enclosed truck and trailor to procure trees. The
board discussed the out -of -house expense it would have to make and the added
time and double handling of trees that would occur with the use of private
trucking. Schnobrich said every precaution would be taken to transport the
trees from the nursery to Hutchinson.
Other items discussed were the Tree and Stump Removal bids. Only one bid was
received for the 1983 Tree Removal season with Carr's Tree Service submitting
a bid of $29,271.05. This compares to $30,415 for the previous years winning
bid. The amount of trees per bid is 175 and 270 respectively. The cost per
tree being higher in 1983 than in 1982.
After referral checks by Schnobrich of Carr's Tree Services past work experience,
the board recommended entering a contract with Carr's for the 1983 season.
The van tour took the board to various locations to observe first hand the pro-
jects underway in the forestry program. Observation of boulevard pruning on
Bradford showed ideal height of boulevard trees for young trees. Observance of
established boulevard plantings revealed to the board the diversity of plantings
throughout town.
Roy Johnsen suggested that for Arbor Day, the distribution of trees to home-
owners be conducted in the morning thereby eliminating the hectic schedule
now planned for May 7th in the afternoon.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.

Jensen, the board unanimously agreed.
Jim Waldron, representing the Youth Hockey Association told the board that be has been
working with Dick Vraa, who holds a North Stars power skating clinic. They would

there would be no problem beginning the season earlier if they were able to sell
the remaining ice time that the association wouldn't be using.

5. NEW BUSINESS
(a) PRESENTATION OF THE PRELIMINARY ZONING ORDINANCE - MR. RAY STREGE
Mr. Strege went through the entire zoning ordinance as it is proposed
to clarify the terminology, the requirements it sets forth and the
effects it will have on property owners in Zones A, B and C.
Throughout the presentation, questions about the proposed ordinance
were raised and responses given. The questions raised, the responses
and the actions that were prompted by the question- response session
were as follows:
NOTE: QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES ARE PARAPHRASED AND ARE NOT DIRECT
QUOTES.
Mr. Quast Question: What does the term "municipality" as used in
Section V.0 refer to, and is it a necessary
term?
Mr. Groehler Response: The term is specified in the State Statute
and refers to the airport owner which, in
this case, is the City of Hutchinson.
Mr. Shimek Question: Does the wording in Section V.B3b restrict,
for example, an auction on the site?
Mr. Groehler Response: The statement refers to a permanent type use
of the site.
Mr. Hedin Response: It was explained earlier (in the planning
stages of the zoning ordinance) that, for
example, a rock concert would not be allowed
because of the masses of people that would be
attracted, but a golf course might be allowed
because of the limited number of people that
would be in the area at one time.
Discussion followed. Mr. Wright made a motion to leave the wording
as is. Seconded by Mr. Hedin, the motion
passed unanimously.
Mr. Shimek Question: Will the boundary limitations (Section V.C)
be shown on the map?
Mr. Strege Response: Yes.
Mr. Strege Comment: The correct date will be injected in Section
VI: Airport Zoning Map.
Mr. Shimek Comment: I feel this section (Section IX:VARIANCES)
puts a burden on the property owner asking
for the variance.
Mr. Sprengler Comment: It is my understanding that this is a
protection for the property owner because is
forces a board to act.
Mr. Quast Comment: It is also provides protection for a board
member who felt he /she could not act on the
request.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Shimek made a motion that we establish a direct link with the two
townships (Hassan and Lynn) and with the City when anything affecting
zoning occurs, and it be transmitted between them. Seconded by
Chairman Carney, the motion carried unanimously.
It was the consensus of the board that the zoning administrators of
the townships and city contact each other. It was noted the the more
restrictive of the rules (of the townships, county, city and state)
will apply to the administration of the zoning ordinance.
Mr. Shimek Question: What does the word "qualified" (Section
XII:A) refer to?
Discussion followed. Mr. Wright made a motion to delete the word
"qualified" from the text in Section XII:A. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Quast. Mr. Hedin asked to amend the motion to say "if not in
contradiction with existing law." Mr. Wright approved the amendment.
The motion carried unanimously as amended.
Mr. Shimek made a motion to insert the word "Adjustment" before the
word Board in line one, page 12. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Mr. Strege Comment: The Zoning Board sets the date the ordinance
takes effect after the second public hearing.
Mr. Shimek Question: How do we know how this ordinance will affect
the long range plans for the airport?
Mr. Hedin Response: The plan is a 20 year plan. The Zoning
Ordinance will provide for the planned
development of the airport.
(b) RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS RAISED BY ZONING BOARD AT MARCH 24 MEETING
Mr. Strege went through responses to questions the Board had raised
at the March 24 meeting.
A question was raised as to whether or not the property owners within
a half -mile radius of the affected property must also be notified.
Mr. Groehler responded that this was not -a State requirement. Mr.
Shimek stated that the County requirement asks for property owners
within 1/2 mile of the area to be zoned be notified by mail. (Action
was taken later in the meeting.)
There were various other questions raised as a result of discussion.
Mr. Quast Question: What type of funds are we talking about?
(that will be available as a result of the
zoning)
Mr. Plotz Response: Snow removal, airport maintenance, airport
improvements. Without the zoning, grants
otherwise available are being withheld.
Money should not be the major consideration,
but the safety of the area is essential.
Mr. Quast Question: Is tax adjustment a possibility for property
owners affected?
Mr. Plotz Response: Tax reevaluation would go through a Board of
Review as done already.
Discussion about the how much land the City or Airport Owner must own
and the possibility of the City buying land from the affected
property owners followed. Mr. Strege explained there is a process
the City would have to go through to purchase the land. The first
1,000' must be a fee purchase and the second 1,000' must be an
easement purchase. Mr. Strege noted that after the zoning is
accomplished he recommends someone more qualified in the area of
purchase to answer questions of this kind.
Mr. Shimek questioned the fact that an amendment procedure is not
spelled out in the ordinance. Mr. Groehler commented that the State
Attorney could answer questions regarding amendment procedures.
Discussion followed. Mr. Shimek made a motion to include a provision
in the ordinance for amendment procedures. The motion died for a
lack of a second.
Mr. Hedin made a motion to have the firm of TKDA revise the
preliminary ordinance as voted on and specified by the Board.
Seconded by Mr. Shimek, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. 4uast made a motion to have the City Administrator check with the
City Attorney to determine the requirements of all governmental units
affected (county, state, city, township) for public hearing
notification, and to set a date for the first public hearing based on
the City Attorney's response. Seconded by Mr. Olson, the motion
carried unanimously.
Discussion of a date for the public hearing followed. It was the
consensus of the Board that a late May date be set.
6. ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Wright made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 11:00 P.M.
Seconded by Mr. Olson, the motion carried unanimously.

Dear Marlow:
After viewing the improvements in the sidewalk on the north
side of the old S 5 L building, we would like to continue that type
of program on the north side of our bank. It is possible there
would be some changes which could be worked out between the City
and the Contractor for a decorative tile sidewalk due to a difference
in the location of the entry to the S S L building and some difference
in the location of our north entry.
It would be our understanding that the additional costs for that
type of sidewalk and the other amenities connected would be paid by
our bank and not included in assessments to the property owners of
First Avenue S. W.
It is our understanding that the city intends to proceed with the
resurfacing of First Avenue S. W., including new curb and sidewalk.
We are very agreeable to this program. We, also, have a substantial
interest on Franklin Street improvement and we would appreciate con-
sideration from the Council for a program to upgrade this street.
Z7ery truly yours,
Irvin--Surich

F CITY OF HUTCHINSON
37 WASHING TON AVENUE WEST
HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350
Mr. William Haas has offered the following proposal as a method
of resolving the appeals of the parking program special assess-
ments that is acceptable to all his clients:
A. The city and the appellants would each hire an appraiser
to conduct before and after appraisals of the property
in dispute. Both appraisers would base the appraisal
upon the increase in the fair market value of the
property after the improvement over the fair market
value of the property before the improvement.
B. The appraisal reports would be available to all parties
upon the completion of both appraisals.
C. If the appraisals on any given property were within
10% of each other,the difference shall be split and
the result accepted as the actual benefit by both parties.
D. If the appraisals on any given property are more than
10% apart, the parties may upon mutual agreement
proceed as in C. If no agreement to split the difference
can be reached, then the two appraisers shall determine
a mutually agreeable third appraiser who shall appraise
only the disputed property. The cost of the third
appraisal shall be divided equally between the city and
the individual appellant. The three appraisals shall
then be averaged and the resulting figure accepted as
the actual benefit by all parties.
E. If any actual benefit is greater than the actual assess-
ment levied, appellant shall dismiss the appeal and pay
the full amount of the assessments.
F. If any actual benefit is less than the actual assessment
levied, the city will through a reassessment hearing
held pursuant to MS 429.071 Subd. 2 reduce the special
assessment to the actual benefit and upon doing so
appellants will dismiss their appeal. Appellants are
prohibited from appealling any reassessment that corres-
ponds to the agreed upon actual benefit.
G. Upon reaching an agreed upon actual benefit for appellant
Citizens Bank and Trust Co., the Citizens Bank and Trust
Co. shall be given credit for parking spaces provided
by the Old Armory lot in accordance with the formula
previously adopted by the city and the assessment
adjusted accordingly.
r
Memorandum
Page Two
In order to determine whether accepting this particular
proposal is in the city's best interest the council should
be aware of the alternative court procedures. I have prepared
a "flow sheet" to outline the course of the appeals should
no compromise be reached. As you can see, the first step
is the court hearing on the procedural aspects of the
assessments to be held on July 28, 1983. I estimate a
minimum of sixteen hours of research and briefing will be
necessary to adequately present the city's case and that
the hearing will last one day or eight hours. This is
twelve hundred dollars in legal expense. Mr. Plotz,
Mr. Priebe and Mr. Merrill will in all likelihood be called
upon to testify with resulting preparation time and loss
of working time. If the city wins at the procedural hearing
there then must be a second court hearing to determine the
amount of any special benefit confered upon the property
by the improvement. Prior to the benefit hearing the city
must hire an appraiser to determine benefits to the affected
property. You should be aware that in all probability any
figure reached by the city's appraiser will become the
maximum amount the city will be able to assess since it is
highly unlikely that the court would find a benefit greater
than that found by the city. At the hearing both sides
would present evidence concerning the special benefit to the
property. The court could find a benefit ranging from zero
(that is, no benefit) to the amount determined by the city's
appraiser. If any assessment is determined to be excessive,
the assessment will be set aside and the city ordered to
reassess in accordance with MS 429.071 Subd. 2 unless there
is a finding of "no benefit" in which case appellants will
simply have the assessment set aside and pay nothing. If
the assessments are found to be excessive,the court could
order the city to pay appellants' costs and disbursements,
including their appraisers' fees. I estimate a minimum of
seven hours preparation and briefing time and a three -day
hearing (24 hours) or fifteen hundred and fifty dollars in .
legal fees. In addition to the expense of obtaining the
appraisals the city's appraiser would be called upon to give
extensive testimony. I estimate appraiser trial preparation
and testimony to involve a minimum of sixteen hours for an
additional cost of eight hundred dollars. Added to the costs
would be any testimony of city employees who would lose work
time as a result.
The preceding was what happens if the city wins the proced-
ural hearing. If the city loses the procedural hearing, the
course is slightly different but the eventual destination is
the same. A loss in the procedural hearing does not mean
appellants will not have to pay any assessment. MS 429.081
provides "The court shall either affirm the assessment or
set it aside and order a reassessment. 11 MS 429.071
V
Memorandum
Page Three
Subd. 2 states "When an assessment is, for any reason
whatsoever, set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction
...the council may, upon notice and hearing as provided
for in the original assessment, make a reassessment or a
new assessment. . " Both Mr. Haas and I agree that
should appellants prevail at the procedural hearing, the
city will in all likelihood be allowed to correct any
procedural defects in the assessments through a reassess-
ment procedure. Once this is done the city and appellants
then face exactly the same issue concerning benefits that
was present had the city prevailed on the procedural
aspects. In other words, the ultimate question to be
decided is not one of procedure but one of benefits,
economics rather than law.
Once it is understood that following the court procedure
to its ultimate conclusion really places the question of
the amount of the assessment in the hands of the appraisers
and the judge rather than the council and the appellants
it is easy to compare the settlement offer with the court
procedure.
I see the following benefits for the settlement procedure
proposed:
1. Although both settlement and court involve the city
hiring an appraiser, settlement would involve only
appraisal costs and no trial preparation or testimony.
I would estimate this to save the city a minimum of
eight hundred dollars.
2. Once appraisals have been obtained, settlement involves
merely computing averages and comparing the results
to the actual assessments. There would be little, if
any, attorney time involved and no court costs. This
would save the city a minimum of two thousand seven
hundred fifty dollars in attorney's fees.
3. By eliminating the necessity for any court appearances,
settlement frees city personnel to pursue their regular
duties.
4. By eliminating the necessity for court appearances,
settlement will result in a more rapid finalization of
the parking program.
5. By settlement the city precludes the possibility that a
judge would determine appellants received no benefit from
the improvement through a finding that additional down-
town parking was unnecessary.- This maximizes the city's
potential assessment while minimizing its potential loss.

involve any con -
the legality of the
city risk having a

7. Since the city can legally assess no more than the
special benefits given by the property, the city
through this settlement is agreeing to do no more
than it is legally required to do in any event, that
is, determine the benefits and then assess no more than
that amount. Any court hearing would in all probability
reach much the same figure but at a considerably
greater expenditure of time and money.
8. The city through settlement establishes the policy
that appraisals are not necessary prior to assessment
but will be utilized only to determine benefits upon
appeal. The following cities contacted by myself have
such a policy: Bloomington, Burnsville, Champlin,
Cloquet, Fairmont, Fergus Falls, Litchfield, Willmar,
Virginia, St. Cloud, Mankato and Albert Lea. Of the
cities contacted none utilized appraisers prior to
assessments unless the assessment was of an unusual
type and then only if the number of properties to be
assessed was very small.
9. Settlement does not discredit the previously adopted
parking formula. The parking formula was not designed
to determine the amount of benefit to each property.
It was intended to make sure that of the total amount
assessed no property would pay a disproportionate share
and to quarantee that property of a generally similar
nature would be treated equally. Assessing on a per foot
basis for street projects does not speak to the benefit
received by a property but only that properties with
like frontages will be treated in a like manner. The
parking formula was a policy determination rather than
a factual determination.
10. Non - appellants would have no grounds to complain since
the city is only agreeing to assess appellants in an
amount that will not exceed their benefits. Non -
appellants were informed of their right to appeal and
by chosing to waive that right impliedly agreed that
their assessment was reasonable. The city is under no
legal or moral obligation to reassess non - appellants'
property should appraisals of appellants' property result
in a reduction of their assessments. A simple analogy
would be the city desiring to purchase two identical lots.
Lot A is sold to the city for $10,000.00 but the owner
Memorandum
Page Five
of Lot B refuses to sell for that price, forcing the
city to utilize condemnation. If the condemnation
hearing results in an award of $12,000.00 for Lot B,
the owner of Lot A who willingly sold for $10,000.00
cannot come back and demand an additional $2,000.00.
So the non - appellants, who took no chances and incurred
no expenses, cannot claim any benefit they might perceive
appellants receiving.
The above advantages are by no means exhaustive. I see
the following as potential disadvantages:
1. The city will not have a chance to vindicate its
assessment procedure in court. This disadvantage may
be offset by the city not having any adverse deter-
mination made. The issue of notice or second hearing
becomes moot upon settlement.
2. Some objection may be made to given Citizens Bank credit
for newly created parking spaces. It should be pointed
out that had the city sold the Old Armory to the Citizens
Bank when the purchase offer was first made, the parking
lot would have been installed and credit given at the
time of the assessments. We also would be giving credit
only for parking spaces actually created and not simply
reexamining previously claimed but denied credits. Only
the Citizens Bank and no other appellants would be
involved. We also allowed non - appellants to alter
their parking configurations prior to assessments,
thereby creating new credits. It must be remembered
that the goal was to encourage the creation of parking,
not to maximize assessments.
If I appear to be an advocate of this settlement proposal,
it is because I feel that the proposal will get both sides
to their ultimate destination, an acceptable legal assess-
ment, with as little time and as little expense as possible.
The proposal does little more than find the city to its
legal committments. If the assessments as levied really
are fair approximations of the benefits received, the
appraisals should reflect that fact and the city binds
appellants to accept the assessments under those circumstances.
If the assessments are excessive as appellants claim, then
the appraisals should also reflect that fact and the city
would be both legally and morally bound to reduce the
assessments to the appropriate level.
f

As City Attorney it is my duty to recommend any settlement
which I feel is fair, reasonable and will accomplish the
city's goals. I consider this offer to be such and recommend
its acceptance and implementation.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
On Friday, May 13, 1983, I met with yourself, Ralph
Neuman, Homer Pittman, and Tatrick Smith and his father at
the Cameo Cleaners. The purpose of the meeting was to resolve
any differences between the city and Cameo Cleaners concerning
maintenance and repairs of the old Plowman Building. The
following items were agreed upon:
1) Ralph Neuman or a member of his crew was to check
the roof for signs of leakage. An estimate as to the cost
of maintenance or repair of the roof would be provided and if
the costs were minimal, Ralph would take steps to eliminate or
reduce leakage. If major repairs would be necessary, no action
would be taken until the estimate of the cost of repair could
be reviewed.
-2) Since the water leakage from the roof has 'reduced the
usable floor space available to Mr. Smith, it was agreed that
until such time as the leakage could be eliminated Mr. Smith
would be entitled to a rent reduction. The amount of the rent
reduction or the method of computing the same was not specifically
agreed upon but it appeared that a percentage reduction of the
total rent equal to the percentage of the floor space now unusable
was the type of reduction being considered.
3) It was agreed that the city would attempt to repair or
replace the plate -glass window located in the front of Cameo
Cleaners. Although the window is serviceable, the caulking
around the window has worked loose and the window has cracked
into two pieces. As a result of the crack and the lack of
caulking, there is a danger that the glass may shatter causing
injury to workers or pedestrians. It was thought that perhaps
braces supporting the large plate glass could be installed and
f-;- I
Mayor James G. DeMeyer
May 16, 1983
Page 2
Ralph Neuman was instructed to look into this possibility.
Our insurance carrier will be notified to determine whether
or not our property insurance would cover replacement costs.
It is my opinion that since the crack and damage occurred prior
to the city's acquisition of the property, our insurance would
not cover replacement costs of the window. Should anyone be
injured by the window, our liability insurance would provide
coverage since the accident took place after the acquisition
of the property.
4) Patrick Smith agreed that the Fire Marshall's determination
that a one -hour fire wall was not necessary was a correct
determination. Mr. Smith also agreed that any items of correction
mentioned in the Fire Marshall's letter to Mr. Smith of May 9,
1983, would be taken care of properly.
5) The city agreed to repair the hanging heaters utilized
by Mr. Smith during cold- weather. Because Mr. Smith utilizes
these heaters only when the temperature drops below the freezing
level, it was agreed by all parties that no repair would be made
at the present time.
6) It was agreed that the city would inspect the light
fixtures that are currently not working and would repair or
replace any defective fixtures.
I believe that this should adequately summarize the
agreements reached at this meeting. If you have any corrections,
additions, or modifications, please feel free to contact me.

May 26, 1983
The school district presently is landscaping and tiling
the area used for physical education south of the football
field and tennis courts at the junior- senior high school
location.
Enclosed are two prints of the proposed plan. The ulti-
mate goal is to provide playing surfaces for physical education
and practice areas for athletics that are usable and not
under water like they are now.
The drainage of this is designed so that we can tap into
a proposed city storm sewer when it becomes a reality.
Therefore, we are requesting that the City of Hutchinson
consider extending the storm sewer on future Goebel Street
from the Kay Street extension west to school district property
as previously planned when the tennis courts were jointly
built by the City of Hutchinson and Hutchinson Public Schools.
We will be happy to work with you to accomplish this pro-
ject.

REVIEW AND P.ECCINA.EDMATIONS FOR INSURANCE PROGRAM
CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MR NESCMA
Members of the City Council, Citv of Hutchinson, Aiinnesota
Dwight A. Tange, Risk Manager, Risk Control, Inc.
June 23, 1983
Introduction:
As I'm sure vou're aware, the City received four bids for their
insurance package, which were onened on June 21st, 1983. I am
happy to report that the results of these bids were, in my opinion.
very favorable for the City of Hutchinson. Although much has
been acccmlished in the improvement and cost containment of
your insurance program, there are a few improverents and refine -
ments yet to be made, and I will work closely with your agent
to complete that task.
The objectives that your City administration and I were trying
to achieve were as follows:
1. Reduction in premiums by curpetitive bidding.
2. Simplification of your program by reduction in the number of
policies.
3. Consistency in your liability limits.
4. Consideration of various deductible options (premium savings
versus increased deductible level).
5. Identification of exposures that had not been covered in
the past.
The following report and recommendations outlines the methods
that were employed to achieve these objectives and the results
of the bidding process.
Reco miendatice for property and Casualty Bid Award:
I have oopared the four bids received and tabulated the totals on
the basis of substantially the same coverage as you're currently
carrying. Miv handwritten ocnoarison is attached to this report.
As you can see, the lowest bid received is from the Madsen Agency
with the coverages placed with the Hone Insurance Company. Your
current program is also through Madsen Agency and the Hone Insurance
Company. The premium for the coning year before anv changes that
will be discussed later are made,)is $162,605, ccnvared to your
premium for substantially the same coverage for last year of n

$204,752. This constitues a decrease in premium of $43,070, which
is a 21% savings.
Although I met with some opposition from the Madsen Agency and found
then somewhat antagonistic toward me personally and the work I was
doing for the City of Hutchinson, I found their bid proposal to have
been prepared with a high degree of professionalism and I believe
their knowledge of Hutchinson's insurance program is quite good,
due to the fact that they have been writing Hutchinson's insurance
for sane time. It is therefore my recommendation that the award
of the Property and Casualty Insurance Package be made to the
Madsen Agency as proposed in their bid proposal form. subject only
to exceptions discussed later in this report.
III. Coverage Changes Recommended:
in the past the City's insurance policy has contained specific
scheduled property floaters that included such items as office
equipment (calculators, typewriters), miscellaneous contents
that did not leave the premises, low valued items and snowmobile
trailers, etc. In drafting the specifications for this bidding,
I eliminated these items from the schedule property floaters
because a duplication of coverage existed in that these items
are already covered under your Building and Contents coverage.
The only significant difference in coverage is the deductible
treatment.
Iv. Deductible Options:
The bid specifications contained a number of requested deductible
options and my recommendations as to which deductibles to select
are as follows:
1. Auto mobile Physical Damage - Comprehensive
I recommend a $100 deductible because there is a savings in
premium of $131 over a $50 deductible.
Collision
I recommend accepting a $500 deductible because this repre-
sents a savings of $551 in premium over the $250 deductible
that you are currently carrying
2. Property Insurance (other than the electrical generating plants)
I recommend staying with your current $1,000 deductible because
the savings to change to a $5,000 deductible is only $884.
Page III • •
Iv. Deductible Options (cont.):
3. Electrical Generating Plants Property Coverage
I reconmend continuing to carry your current $10,000 deductible
as tha premium savings to change to a $25,000 deductible is only
$537.
4. Contractors Equipment Floater
I reconnw_nd that you carry a $500 deductible as this represents a
savings of $97 in premium over the $250 deductible that you had
been carrying in the past.
5. Miscellaneous Property Floater
I recacmend leaving the deductible of $100 unchanged because the
savings in premium to change to a $250 deductible is only $39.
6. Voting Machines
I reommend that _you carry a $100 deductible as the premiiun savings
to change to a $500 deductible is only $12 per year.
The reason that I am recanmending increasing deductibles wherever
feasible is twofold. First, in the long run, it's likely that your
premitiun savings will exceed the additional amount that you must
bear in the event of a loss. Secondly, the increased frequency of
claims due to the lower deductible tends to have a negative affect
on renewal premiums of your insurance canoany in addition to being
an increased administrative cost in the filing of these claims'
V. Deviations from the Accepted Proposal of the Madsen Agency?
The proposal submitted by Madsen Agency included Public Official
Liability for the City through Forum Insurance Company and for
the utility through Western World Insurance Company. The Police
Professional liability was quoted through Jefferson Insurance
Company. A proposal fran another bidder contained bids for
Public Official and Police Professional Liability through Great
Southwest Insurance Canpany and administered by Markel Service.
Inc. It is important to note that Public Official and Police
Professional Liability forms do vary in substantial ways in terms
of broadness of coverage and Risk - Control, Inc. has spent a great
deal of time comparing different BxTrs. It is our opinion that
the Markel Service policies are substantially broader in coverage
than the policies proposed in the Madsen Agency bid. in addition,
the premiums for the Markel policies is less than the premiums
quoted through the above mentioned oonpanies. The only reduction
in coverage that would take place if this recarmendation is
accepted would be an increase in the deductible for the municipal
utility from the current $250 per loss and $100 per official to
a $2,500 per loss deductible, which is the same as the deductible
for the City's policy. Markel Service, Inc. has a policy of not
r Page IV 0 •
V. Deviations from the Accepted Proposal of the Madsen Agency (cunt.):
allowing any agent to exclusively represent then. Therefore, they would
have no objection to the City designating Madsen Agency as the Agent of
Record for this insurance.
VI. Miscellaneous Recommendations:
The City is currently carrying airport liability at a limit of $1,000,000
per occurence and the umbrella liability policy does not provide excess
coverage. Since this produces an inconsistency of limits, I would
reccnmiend that, if after negotiation we're unable to convince the
unbrella liability insurer to extend to airport liability, that we in-
crease the airport liability policy to a limit of $5,000;000.
Regarding the Hutchmobile busses, you have carried in the past a limit
of $100,000 each person and $500,000 each accident /Bodily Injury Liability
and $500,000 Property Damage Liability. In addition, your umbrella
liability policy, which provides the $5,000,000 of excess coverage, has
excluded your Hutchmobile busses. In my opinion. these busses may well
be one of your more substantial liability exposures in the automobile
area, and this inconsistency in limits should be corrected. To accom-
plish this, we included the busses in the specifications and the quota-
tion for the umbrella included the busses. This is one of the reasons
why automobile liability insurance was one of the few coverages that did
not go dawn in price as a result of this bidding (i.e. higher limits of
liability applied to the busses under the new program). I therefore
recommend that the policy covering the busses which expires on October 18,
1983, be cancelled effective July 1, 1983 and be incorporated into the
City's overall package.
Through the bidding process, I have become aware that there are a number
of additional items that should be covered under your Boiler and Machinery
Insurance. It is therefore my recommendation that you allow me to work
with the agent in obtaining a cnzotation for these additional objects to
be considered by you at a later date.
Regarding Workers' Compensation, the Hone Insurance Company has offered
you two options in the method of writing this coverage. The essential
difference between these options is that under one method your dividend -
refund that you receive is based on the loss experience of all the
municipalities written by Hone Insurance Company in the State of
Minnesota. In the second method, your dividend - refund would be cal-
culated on the basis of the loss experience of the City of Hutchinson
policy alone. The net effect of this is that in the event that your
losses are less than approximately $16,000 you would probably receive
a greater dividend under the plan that is based on the City of Hutchinson's
losses alone. If your losses were greater than approximately $16,000
you would probably receive a larger refund by adopting the plan that is
based on the loss experience of all the municipalities in the State.
It is difficult for me to make a reasnnendation on this subiect because
your coverage losses over the past three years have been about $16,000
and no one can predict the future. Under the plan that is based on your
loss experience alone, for every dollar that is paid in losses, your
dividend- refund is reduced by $1.10. Therefore I would recommend accepting
this plan based on your own loss experience if, and only if; an arrange-
ment can be negotiated with the Home Insurance Ccrrpany which allows you
Page V . •
VI. Miscellaneous Recommendations (cunt.):
to pay all medical claims under T7brkers' Compensation directly up to
a maximrmm of $500 per claim. Your past loss experience Shows that between
74% and 88% of your claims are less than $500. By adopting this
approach of paying these claims yourself, not only would you save
lOC on the dollar of claims paid, but it would also have a favorable
effect on your experience modification factor because frequency of
losses is heavily weighted into that calculation.
Regarding Umbrella Liability, I recc miend that you continue to carry
a $5,000,000 limit as you have in the past because I feel this limit
is adequate and any increasing of this limit could conceivably set
a precedent that would make it unwise for your to reduce your liability
limit at a later date. You currently are carrying four Umbrella Liability
policies covering the Gas Utility, the City and Electric Utility, the
Hospital and the Nursing Home. I attempted to reduce this to one master
Umbrella policy, but none of the bidders were willing to extend Umbrella
Coverage to the Hospital and the Nursing Hone. Therefore, you will be
carrying in the future three Umbrella Liability policies and as pre-
viously mentioned, your busses are now covered and your Police Profes-
sional Liability, Public Official Liability and Gas Utility Liability
are now covered by the Umbrella Policy. Since you will continue to
carry a separate Umbrella policy for the Hospital and a separate
Umbrella policy for the Nursing Home I would reca?anend increasing the
limits under those policies from the current $1,000,000 to $5,000,000
per occurence, again to achieve oonsistencv in liability limits through-
out all your exposures.
VII. Added Coverages:
You have not, in the past, carried a coverage known as Emmloyee Benefit
Liability. This coverage is designed to protect you against a lawsuit
stenming from an error or anission in the administration of your employee
benefit plans. I feel that this is an important coverage and the premium
quoted for it through the Hone Insurance Company is $250 per year. I
recommend that the City purchase this Employee Benefit Liability.
Regarding the Public Errplovees Blanket Faithful Performance Bond and
Depositor's Forgery, I recommend that you increase your limit from the
current $100,000 to a new limit of $300,000 at an additional annual
premium of $233. A $300,000 limit is what we cam!only see used on
public entities and is a reasonable and prudent limit in my opinion.
VIII. Conclusion:
In as much as your insurance program is quite complex, it is my intention
to attend your June 28, 1983 City Council Fleeting to answer any and all
questions that you may have. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank
you for allowing me to be of service to the City of Hutchinson.
Additional Note: The Coverages written through the Hone Insurance Company
will participate in the Safety Group Dividend Program
based on the loss experience of all Municipalities
insured by Hare Insurance Co. in Minnesota. The 1980
dividend under this program was 31%.

RE: West River Park Project
Councilmembers:
I have examined the contracts provided for the above
captioned project and find them to be in order. I was specif-
ically asked to determine whether the contracts require the city
to use or exercise the power of eminent domain should the city
be unable to directly purchase the property from the current
property owners. Nothing in the contracts I examined directly
mandates the exercise of eminent domain. The only direct
requirement upon the city is the requirement that the city
complete the project in accordance with the project application.
Since I did not directly participate in the project application,
I can make no comment as to whether the application itself
committed the city to use its powers of eminent domain if
necessary in order to complete the project. I have discussed
this matter with Gary Plotz and Bruce Ericson and they both
indicate that the city made no such commitment in the project
application.

SUBJECT: Exercise Trail at Roberts Park, and Playground Equipment at North Park
Since the completion of the Eheim Park project we have been working with
the Aid Association for Lutherans on a couple of other projects.
The first project, an exercise trail at Roberts Park, will require no use
of city funds since we anticipate two local branches of the AAL will
participate which will cover the total cost of the trail. The second
project, playground equipment at North Park, is a joint effort between
the School District and the City, plus a branch of the AAL will be
constructing an addition onto the equipment which will make it a complete
16 station playstructure.
The North Park Project will be funded through the following sources:
- School District
- City of Hutchinson (money is budgeted)
- PTL
- Jog -a -thon
- The addition of the horizontal ladder and rings portion will be
added be the AAL
We hope both projects can be completed this summer and fall.

SUBJECT: New Wood Sale Permit System
Due to the sporadic response to our wood sales and the varying revenues
received from those wood sales, the Parks and Recreation Department and
the Tree Board recommend to the City Council the following:
A $50 permit issued for six months to a restricted number of citizens,
(30), allowing them to cut wood at our elmwood utilization site.
This permit would allow the bearer to cut any amount of wood during
open hours of the utilization site (tree dump) on the scheduled
days of opening.
Advantages;
1) It could feasibly bring to the city an assured $3,000 per
year income from the permit sales. This income can be
used for purchase of more boulevard trees.
2) It would allow the city to clear out each year's wood
supply, currently over - stocked due to varying response to
general addmission.
3) It would be a distinct advantage to the permit holder
by allowing him or her access to a wood source that
would not be governed by payment as you go, and a chance
to actually recover more value for the dollars expounded.
Our past experience has shown that response to a pay -as- you -go plan
does not move enough wood fast enough. A reliance on income is not
assured with this plan as it would be with a wood sale permit system.

Chairman Dick Burgart called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and
requested a report of the subcommittees.
Subcommittee Chairman Chad Piehl reported their subcommittee had
toured the public buildings, including city hall, police station, fire
station and library. He reported the consensus of the subcommittee was to
rate the replacement of the police station as top priority. It was stated
that revenue sharing monies, and possibly monies received from the sale
of the old fire station may be sufficient to provide the police facility.
Two ideas would be explored further: (1) purchasing land immediately to
the south of the old fire station for a combined new addition and renovation of
the old fire station (2) selling the old fire station and building new
adjacent to the Evergreen Apartments on two vacant city owned lots.
Chad reported the existing library committee would make recommendation
on its own proposed buildi -ng. The consensus of the entire task.force was to
hold a referendum on the library addition for the November 1983 election.
Wayne Kasich reported on the efforts of the recreation subcommittee. At
a recent subcommittee meeting a representative, Jim Gilbert, of the YMCA
was in attendance and provided the following information: -
The programs for the YMCA need to start before the building.
The YMCA does not finance the building, rather they would recommend
professional fund raisers; some monies would be needed initially through
private contributions for a "market study "; Red Wing, Faribault, and
Grand Rapids are examples of successful implementation efforts; the average
size of facility is 60,000 sq. ft. at a cost of 3 to 3.5 million dollars;
97% of the operating budget is financed through fees, dues, and private
contributions.
After discussion, several members had reservations about the YMCA alternative.
Several members thought that the entire population would benefit more if the
facility was city owned and operated.
Discussion turned to the idea of a swimming pool. Most members by straw
vote preferred an outdoor pool, with the potential of a phase II enclosure.

Several members thought the gynmasium was a more immediate need than a pool.
Discussion followed. Several members thought the gymnasium and swimming
pool should be separate projects, however the same site was not out of
the question. Discussion on sites followed with no resolution.
The consensus of the entire committee was to reserve the monies
from the sale of the Old Armory building for the purpose of a replacement
facility.
The entire committee decided to meet at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June
29, 1983. In the meantime, each subcommittee would meet again to make
more definitive recommendations on site, size, etc. to facilitate some
subsequent architectural drawings and elevations. It was noted that the
public building subcommittee would meet at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

Dear City Counsel:
I am writing this letter to make a formal request
to initiate proceedings to have the city participate
in cleaning the ditch which runs on the easterly
edge of my property and the westerly edge of the
Airport property.
Mr. Priebe stated that sometime around the first
of the year, cost estimates had been made. These
estimates would be fairly accurate for determining
cost.
I respectfully ask your most careful consideration
of this proposal.
Sincerely,
A. Paul Martens D.C.

RE: Project 83 -07
Maintenance Program - 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986
The hearing held last night, as you may well know, had a low attendance. I
estimate that about 100 property owners were in attendance.
The following number of notices were sent out for the hearing:
Type "A" - 838
Type "B" - 704
Type "C" - 1,380
It is my opinion, in the discussions I had with some property owners prior to
the meeting, that the letter we sent out with the "Official Notice" was
self - explanatory and many people did not attend because they did not object
to the proposal.
To the best of my knowledge, no one spoke for or against a Type "B" street.
The only people that spoke for or against a Type "C" street were on Dale
Street (County Road 7) near the edge of the City where curb and gutter is
not in- place.
The most discussion was from people on an "A" street, in new developments or
newly annexed areas, that have only a gravel surface. As suggested, we may
need to set a new class for these streets with some action for setting a
time schedule for curb and gutter and surfacing installation, if all the
underground facilities are in- place.

RE: Liquor Store Roof Repair
The City Accountant, Kenneth Merrill, asked me to look at the roof of the City
Liquor Store, as he had an estimate of $2,106.00 for repair to roof from
McDonald Roofing for storm damage.
This morning, June 22, 1983, at 10:95 A.M. I visited the Liquor Store. Don
Vorbeck and I went up on the roof and inspected the roof. After carefully
going over the entire roof, neither Don nor I could find or see where there is
any damage.
This roof is in good condition and needs no repair at this time.

RE: City Parcel No. 06- 116 -29 -03 -0010 County Parcel No. 0030
Dear Members of the Council:
Recently I was notified from the City of Hutchinson that our property was
included in project 83- 01 -19, sidewalk improvements.
The bulk of this sidewalk in need of replacement is shown on our used
car lot, which is located on the corner of Adams and Washington Ave. E.
This lot has been in existence, to the best of my knowledge, since 1948
and has never had a sidewalk on it. Swanke Motors has a boulevard permit
from the City of Hutchinson allowing us to extend the front of our vehicles
on City property, but also allowing adequate room for pedestrians to walk
on the hard surface lot.
We have always attempted to adhere to the minimum setback so as not to
impede pedestrian traffic. Thus, I request the City Council to honor its
commitment for the boulevard permit on a Conditional Use basis and waive
the need to have a sidewalk inserted on a hard surface lot that has never
had a sidewalk in the past according to our records.
I request a favorable approval on this request.
Sincerely, `

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Next Meeting: Tuesday, June 28th, 1:00 p.m. at COS Bldg., 30 Glen No. (same place)
DOT - Chuck Sanft
Notes: The following notes were taken at the Burlington Northern Users Meeting, June
15, 1983, Wednesday. They do not constitute actual minutes; instead they are
high points to help the users save our BN Rail Road to Hutchinson.
- Major interest - Hutchinson is a fair size city.
- If lost RR it would be the largest city without service in Minnesota.
- At this point, its marginally profitably, and DOT must determine whether system
is worth upgrading. Losing Rail would mean total dependance on trucking.
- Three -party contract is possible:
State - low interest loan
Railroad 20% cost in -kind match
Users 10 -20%
*RR ends up with total, actually;
RR ends up paying back to shippers on a per car basis over a period of time
all they have invested.
- DOT wants system to be viable: and self- sustaining in order to recommend to
Governor, BN, etc. upgrading.
- Local Shippers make or break the line and mean a committment both in time, money,
and use of RR. -
Question: What is it going to take to make this a viable line?
DOT: - Can't speak for BN. However, BN wants $1,000 per carload revenue
over cost plus 10 -16 %. This includes in that�a certain amount of
equity.
- The line may make dollars now, but they see there will be a consider-
able investment.
- Cost for upgrading to category two - $7,779,000.
- BN requires upgrading to their own standards:
- able to take fully loaded 100 ton hopper cars
- 25 mph rate
- 90 -115 lb. rail /all switches
- current rail has no real salvage value since no one
rail and cost to rip up
is using 56 lb.
- need certain number of cars to make it worth their chance,
- 1981 revenue on our line - $2,400,000, total - 1,700 cars
. net profit 500,000 - included 400 cars from Tonka
return on investment - 16.7% -
without - Tonka, data shows - still $500,000 net profit plus $600,000
between 1978 -1981
realistic estimates with current condition of rail - still +$200,000
net profit
. BN won't operate long unless its a class two track
condition of track will only get worse, especially with the light rail

Burlington Northern Meeting
June 15, 1983
page 2
Question: Could the Rail lines be upgraded privately and cost be trimmed?
DOT: Yes, especially if you use union labor, but only with BN's OK
since they own it. Independent contractor's available, but cost
is nearly the same.
Question : - Is it possible to own the line and operate with BN?
DOT: Yes, it's being done in So. Dak. under certain conditions.
Question: What is the average haul?
DOT: 637 miles - date based on a 1% sample
Question: How close are your figures?
DOT: Even if some of-the figures are incorrect, basically it comes very
close and is modeled by other RR companies.
Question: What is the return on investment for BW
DOT: generates the number from BN figures, bed, line, and equipment.
Question: What is current value of this line?
DOT: Estimated salvage - $762,000
Reasonable return on - investment 16=7% on'this line.
Question: Is that figure, $762,000, one that BN would sell the line for?
DOT: This figure is a DOT estimate, but we're usually close. BN would
have to answer on sale. -
Question: How can BN sell land under RR?
DOT: If the RR owns the land outright, they could sell it - like to sell
with a quick claim, if sold. Depends on many factors.

Burlington Northern Meeting
June 15, 1983

Question: What we're here to do today is to see if an association is viable.
Is one viable?
.DOT Morris - Beardsley - branch line cost BN 4,000,000 for 40 miles of
line - Rail wasn't as bad.
They guaranteed 2,000 cars - Package: 40% loan from state.
10% from users - investors - 50% BN - debt free
But BN has really borne all the cost because they pay users back,
per car cost.
Life of project - 20 years.
If they go with the Hutchinson project, BN won't go borrow $7,000,000.
They'll do $7,000,000 less work somewhere else.
Question; Do you have money now?
DOT : - 2.9 million in July through bond sale for accepted projects plus
13.9 million over next four years.
We have bonding authority and we have projects ahead of you, but if you
as users put something together and DOT is convinced it is a viable
project, they could go to the Governor, and sell bonds.
Bond rate, possibly 5� %, would be passed on to project.
- What we like to do is recover any administrative cost. Cost to state
is difference.
It takes lots of work with organized shippers and viable project.
- They would be General Revenue State Bonds - 9;% or less. Goes out
as a public offer. Standard is 20 year bonds.
Statements: It needs to be mentioned that:
RR has been under the Steigers Act for approximately three years,
giving RR right to write individual contracts with shippers, and
in grain we've seen some admirable rates. Also Trucking industry
was given :tax-- increases that will eventually increase rates.
The shippers can guarantee to BN enough cars to make line viable.
To get to that point, we need an-association.
'Question: If BN is willing to sign contracts, why do we need as Association?
User. Need a non - profit association to request funds.
Discussion:Individual shippers need to carry through and a united front is better.
Statement: BN will not put any effort into finding the shippers to come up with
the estimated 3,000 cars needed, plus time will bring more track
outages and cost increases.
Burlington Northern Meeting
June 15, 1983
page 4
Question: Is the City of Hutchinson involved and /or interested in being involved?
City: We would support a person to put on this and see if we can't get the
full capacity of rail service.
Question: Should we get Region 6E involved?
Discussion:If the right personnel helps it can be productive.
The City of Darwin got a $600,000 Hud Grant through region.
DOT: You need to stay in close contact with BN. -They are the key and
they may stonewall the project. An association employee can keep
after data, cost estimates, etc.
Statement: One member from Hutchinson Community Development Corporation will sit
on an association and work with committees.
Statement: We need to get an Association going and hire or contract with someone
to head up all information.
Work with BN, DOT, and Users.
Most information can be received in two -three months.
DOT: DOT has to know the data before they will decide on whether the project
is viable and is worth a major investment.
DOT will help in many ways to collect data - design surveys,.+
consultations, field work - because they have to show benefits.
Shippers must participate usual way is thru a non - profit users association.
Consider: One RR car = three Semi - trucks. Consider cause and effect on highways.-
Voted unanimously to form an association.
Voted to contact Ron McGraw to prepare papers for a non -profit Association.
Voted to set a time for next meeting when the papers will be ready for signature -2 weeks.
Voted to ask $100 fee per member of Association.
Someone to spearhead the Association; suggest Ancher Nelsen
1. Each one should be looking for someone to suggest to the Association.
2. DOT should send us information that will help our next meeting.
3. City direct city manager to be present at next meeting, June 28th.

continued existence of transit in these
communities is an important factor in
influencing growth and maintaining
economic vitality. Increased business activity
following the provision of new transit service
in many areas of the state has clearly shown
the relationship between good business and
good transit. When new business or growth is
generated, land values increase, employment
increases, and sales of goods and services
increase. Thus, the community s tax base and
the quality of life of its residents are improved.

TRANSIT IS IN JEOPARDY
Funding for transit systems in Minnesota has
been based on a partnership among federal,
state, and local units of government. During
the 1970's this joint support helped to bring
about ridership increases and service
improvements while maintaining reasonable
fares. But now, federal aid is decreasing
rapidly. The effects of this policy are
devastating, especially for Minnesota's small
urban and rural areas which rely heavily on
.state and federal support.
11
Public transit systems in Minnesota will
expend in excess of $120 million annually to
maintain existing services. Projected federal
and state financial aid for these services face
drastic reduction. Any shortfall must be
provided for by a combination of alternate
sources of public funding, fare increases,
service cuts, and greater private participation
in the provision of transit services.
Without adequate public financial support,
the end result will he decreased service and
increased fares resulting in lower ridership,
higher costs per passenger, no basis for
response to future fuel shortages and,
ultimately, the termination of many transit
systems.

TRANSIT IS INCREASINU
PRODUCTMTY
By using innovative approaches to increase
productivity, transit operators are continuing
to provide adequate services at affordable
prices. Examples are improved planning and
management, greater use of micro.
computers, more effective use of paratransit
services, better fuel purchasing strategies,
innovative fare systems, more use of par46me
labor, and public and private cooperation in
providing transit services.
