Health is requesting that a directional sign be placed at the intersection of Hwy 15 and Century Avenue.
The sign is currently located in the right -of -way. The Council has the authority to approve the
placement of the sign. However, staff is recommending that a condition be attached in that should the
right -of -way be necessary for City use, the sign will be replaced at Hutchinson Health's cost. Mr.
Jochum did mention that the City is considering constructing a turn lane on Century Avenue perhaps in
2016 and the right -of -way area may need to be utilized at that time. City ordinance does allow for the
Council to make such authorizations.
Motion by Forcier, second by Czmowski, to approve Hutchinson Health Care signage request, adopting

review period of the policy to annually. Mr. Carter explained municipal investment practices.

Development Fund grant program.
6(a)
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 26, 2013
Mike Zukowski, Ameresco, provided an overview of the project. A 55% grant is being sought for a
wastewater treatment plant landfill solar photovoltaic stem. This is a $1.74 million project. The City
will use $100,000 to help fund the project and will enter into a 12 -year energy services agreement. The
energy services payments are at 90% of current utility rate, with year one payment of $38,600.
Ameresco provides a production guarantee and all excess energy production goes 100% to the City with
energy production after a year going back to the City 100 %. The grant application is due April 1, 2013
with the Xcel Energy submitting proposals selected for funding by July 1, 2013, to Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission. The PUC will make its decision by October 1, 2013. Council Member
Christensen asked what happens with the system after 25 years. Mr. Zukowski noted that these types of
solar systems have a life expectancy of 25 years, which is industry - standard. Mr. Paulson explained
how pieces of the system may be recycled and replaced over the years and following year 25.
Mayor Cook clarified that even if the City is awarded the grant, the City does have the ability to opt out
of the project if a further analysis reveals it is not favorable.
Council Member Arndt asked if Ameresco is bonded for this project. Mr. Zusoski noted that a
performance payment bond was provided pursuant to state statute.
Motion by Christensen, second by Cook, to approve grant application for solar photovoltaic renewable
development fund. Motion carried unanimously.
(d) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF PROJECT AWARD FOR WATER TREATMENT PLANT
REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE ELEMENTS — LETTING NO. 7, PROJECT NO. 13 -07
Kent Exner, City Engineer, presented before the Council. Mr. Exner explained that the City received
one bid for the water treatment plant reverse osmosis membrane elements project. Staff has reviewed
the bid and it appears to be responsive and responsible. The bidder was Goldeneye Solutions, Inc. in the
amount of $313,090.31. Implementation should occur in mid -May with staff providing the necessary
labor and equipment in an effort to minimize overall project costs. Staff does not anticipate any
disruptions to or noticeable capacity reductions within the water distribution system during the
replacement of the membranes. Mr. Exner noted that overall three vendors were potential bidders on the
project, however the bid documents were very specific as to the necessities of the project, which more
than likely narrowed it down to the one lone bidder.
City Attorney Sebora noted that all legal requirements were meant in advertising for bids.
Motion by Arndt, second by Forcier, to approve awarding project for water treatment plant reverse
osmosis membrane elements. Motion carried unanimously.
(e) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF ADOPTION OF 2012 CITY OF HUTCHINSON
TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Kent Exner, City Engineer, presented before the Council. Mr. Exner noted that minor
revisions /corrections have been made to this plan following the Council's workshop on February 12,
2013. Mr. Exner will not be providing a formal review of the document, however the Plan is available
for viewing if requested.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Christensen, to approve adoption of 2012 transportation plan. Motion
carried unanimously.

Steve Cook — Mayor Cook noted that emerald ash borer has been found in Roseville. Mayor Cook
reminded that money is being set aside to address emerald ash borer when it hits Hutchinson. Mayor
Cook suggested using the funds for replacement trees of other species and be proactive and perhaps
remove some now. Jeremy Carter spoke to the overall county plan in response to emerald ash borer.
Creekside is licensed to handle emerald ash borer infested materials.
Jeremy Carter — Mr. Carter provided an update on the Burns Manor project. He noted that he has been
informed that a feasibility report has been completed for asbestos removal and the contractor is ready to
go begin work on the removal. Mr. Carter noted that the property is to be removed within six months
after this work begins..

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM:
Item #1) There have been several times when trucks intending to serve 3M have ended up on the dead -end portion
of Arch St, south of 5th Ave SE. To help with this situation, 3M is working with their carriers to ensure the GPS
coordinates are correct. To help prevent this from happening in the future, staff recommends placing "3M Truck
Entrance" signs directing trucks to the Ontario St SE entrance. Also, a "No Trucks" sign would be placed at the
intersection of Arch St and 5th Ave SE.
Item #2) MnDOT staff requested placement of "No Parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. - Nov. 1 to May 1" signs" on Main St N
(Highway 15) between 5th Ave N and North High Dr N. This will eliminate the potential road hazards that are caused
by snowplows going around parked cars, leaving ice ridges.
City staff also reviewed and recommends these changes.

The 71st Annual Hutchinson Jaycee VVater Carnival will be held from June 10`' — 161h

1- Close the appropriate streets and issue a Parade permit for the Grande Day Parade on Sunday,
June 16th, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We are working to have this year's parade route the same
as last year's. MN Dot has granted approval for the same route as last year. Again this year we
request there would be no parking on I"t Ave SE from Main Street to Hassan St., 2"" Ave NW/
Franklin St. to Washington Ave., and no parking allowed in the parking lot behind Dunn Brothers
Coffee due to space needed for parade units.
2. Close or monitor intersections at all necessary points for Grande Day Parade Route on Sunday,

determined by Hutchinson PD.

to be displayed over the Crow River. Fireworks will be launched from either AFS Park or
Oddfellows Park. Fire Chief Brad Emans will be notified concerning the display of fireworks- The
Water Carnival committee will arrange to have Sheriff Department, Fire Department and
Ambulance support on hand. No parking will be allowed on School Rd from Hwy 7 VV to Lewis
Ave.
4. We have contracted with Mini Biff, Inc. to provide portable lavatory services for the Grande Day
Parade route, Parade staging area, Carnival and Concessions area, and at MasonicAVest River
Paris for concert performances.

5. Request permit for J & K Amusements to have carnival rides, games and concessions available

needing exclusive access starting after 6:00 PM on Monday June 100 to the area located just
west of the Gopher Camp Fire Sanctuary. This area will be occupied by the carnival, games and

13`h, referenced above in No. 6, to go until 11:00pm.
8. The Boat Parade on Thursday, June VP will require the use of the north half of the Roberts Park
parking lot. The Hutchinson Police Department has agreed to provide assistance for this event to
minimize parking congestion.
9. The biddy Day parade will be held at Library Square in downtown Hutchinson and the Hutchinson
Police department has been contacted and agrees to be present to monitor traffic flow.

traffic flow and control with the Hutchinson Police department for the events including Motor

cou Id not have a comrnunity celebration without this support.

City staff requests the City Council's support for HF 745 (Erhardt, DFL - Edina) and SF 607 (Carlson, DFL - Eagan),
state legislation that would allow cities to create street improvement districts, by adopting the attached Resolution.
This authority would allow cities to collect fees from property owners within a district to fund municipal street
maintenance, construction, reconstruction, and facility upgrades. If enacted, this legislation would provide cities with
an additional tool to build and maintain city streets. Please see the above referenced Resolution and supporting
information.

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION AUTHORIZING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF MUNICIPAL STREET IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, Minnesota contains over 135,000 miles of roadway, and over 19,000 milesor 14
percent - -are owned and maintained by Minnesota's 853 cities; and
WHEREAS, 84 percent of municipal streets are ineligible for dedicated Highway User Tax
Distribution Fund dollars; and
WHEREAS, the more than 700 Minnesota cities with populations below 5,000 are ineligible for
dedicated Highway User Tax Distribution Fund dollars; and
WHEREAS, city streets are a separate but integral piece of the network of roads supporting
movement of people and goods; and
WHEREAS, existing funding mechanisms, such as Municipal State Aid (MSA), property taxes
and special assessments, have limited applications, leaving cities under - equipped to address
growing needs; and
WHEREAS, maintenance costs increase as road systems age, and no city- -large or small—is
spending enough on roadway capital improvements to maintain a 50 -year lifecycle; and
WHEREAS, for every one dollar spent on maintenance, a road authority saves seven dollars in
repairs; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Hutchinson finds it is difficult to develop adequate
funding systems to support the City's needed street improvement and maintenance programs
while complying with existing State statutes; and
WHEREAS, cities need flexible policies and greater resources in order to meet growing
demands for municipal street improvements and maintenance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUTCHINSON supports enabling legislation that would authorize cities to establish street
improvement districts to fund municipal street maintenance, construction and reconstruction.
ADOPTED by the Hutchinson City Council this 9th day of April, 2013.

SINCE 1913
Minnesota cities and street improvement districts
League position
The League supports HF 745 (Erhardt, DFL- Edina) and SF 607 (Carlson, DFL- Eagan), legislation
that would allow cities to create street improvement districts. This authority would allow cities to
collect fees from property owners within a district to fund municipal street maintenance,
construction, reconstruction, and facility upgrades. If enacted, this legislation would provide cities
with an additional tool to build and maintain city streets.
Supporters
HF 745/SF 607 is also supported by the following organizations:
• Association of Metropolitan Municipalities
• Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities
• Minnesota Association of Small Cities
• North Metro Mayors
• Minnesota Transportation Alliance
• City Engineers Association of Minnesota
• Minnesota Chapter of the American Public Works Association
Background
Just as the state has fallen behind in making transportation investments, some cities faced with
budget challenges have made the difficult decision in recent years to hold off on scheduled street
improvement projects. Maintenance projects, such as seal coating and overlays, can prolong the
lifecycle of streets to 50 to 60 years. Without ongoing maintenance, the average life expectancy of
local streets is approximately 25 to 30 years. For every $1 spent on maintenance, a road authority
saves $7 in repairs. But this maintenance requires a reliable dedicated funding source other than
the current volatile property tax system.
For the same reasons, cities are also falling behind on the reconstruction projects necessary to help
keep property values stable; and, cities lack viable options for building new transportation
infrastructure to attract and retain the investments by businesses that keep Minnesota's economy
strong.
Existing funding mechanisms for street maintenance and reconstruction are inadequate. Special
assessments can be onerous to property owners and are difficult to implement for some cities.
Special assessments are not always useful for funding collector streets and other streets that do not
abut private property. Property tax dollars are generally not dedicated and are sometimes diverted
to more pressing needs such as public safety, water quality and cost participation in state and
county highway projects. Municipal state aid (MSA) is limited to cities over 5,000 population - -147

of 853 cities in Minnesota- -and cannot be applied to more than 20% of a MSA city's lane miles.
Existing MSA is not keeping up with needs on the MSA system.
Key messages
• This is enabling legislation. No city would be required to create a municipal street
improvement district.
• The street improvement district authority legislation is modeled after Minn. Stat. 435.44,
which allows cities to establish sidewalk improvement districts.
• This authority would provide a funding mechanism that is fair. It establishes a clear
relationship between who pays fees and where projects occur, but stops short of the benefit
test that sometimes makes special assessments vulnerable to legal challenges. It also does
not prohibit cities from collecting fees from tax exempt properties within a district.
• Fees paid under a street improvement district would be deductible just as property taxes
are.
• This tool allows cities to perform maintenance and reconstruction on schedule. Timely
maintenance is essential to preserving streets and thereby protecting taxpayer investments.
• This tool would allow property owners to fund expensive projects by paying relatively
small fees over time. The tool could be used to mitigate or eliminate the need for special
assessments.

Resolution No.
A Resolution Designating Animal License Fees and Establishing a Pet Program Fund
Whereas, pursuant to Hutchinson City Code Sections 93.19 and 93.20, owners of
animals within the City of Hutchinson shall obtain a license for their animals, accompanied by a
license fee set by the City Council; and,
Whereas, a portion of the license fees collected for animals shall be used to fund
enforcement of the animal regulations code, which include, among other things, impound and
veterinarian fees; and,
Whereas, a request for animal programs has been communicated to the City of
Hutchinson, such as dog park development/maintenance, microchip credit program, spay /neuter
program credit program, etc.; and,
Whereas, additional animal license fees can be used to fund pet program costs; and,
Whereas, the City deems it proper to designate the collection of animal license fees in a
tiered approach,
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Hutchinson that a pet
program fund is created and collection of animal license fees shall be applied in the
following manner:
1. First $2500 collected will be designated to the police department.
2. $2500 - $17,500 will be evenly divided between the police department and a pet program
fund to be used for programs described above.
3. Any fees collected in excess of $17,500 will be applied 100% to a pet program fund to be
used for programs described above.

(7) If the animal is a dog, the dog must be licensed and up to date on rabies
vaccination. If the animal is a cat or ferret, it must be up to date with rabies vaccination.
(B) Seizure. As authorized by M.S. § 347.54, as it may be amended from time to time,
the Animal Control Officer shall immediately seize any dangerous animal if the owner does not
meet each of the above requirements within 14 days after the date notice is sent to the owner that

petition upon the city and filing it with the district court.
(C) Reclaiming animals. A dangerous animal seized under division (B), may be
reclaimed by the owner of the animal upon payment of impounding and boarding fees and
presenting proof to animal control that each of the requirements under division (B), is fulfilled.
An animal not reclaimed under this section within 14 days may be disposed of as provided under

(D) Subsequent offenses. If an owner of an animal has subsequently violated the
provisions under § 93.02 with the same animal, the animal must be seized by animal control. The
owner may request a hearing as defined in § 93.02(F). If the owner is found to have violated the
provisions for which the animal was seized, the Animal Control Officer shall order the animal
destroyed in a proper and humane manner and the owner shall pay the costs of confining the
animal. If the person is found not to have violated the provisions for which the animal was
seized, the owner may reclaim the animal under the provisions of § 93.03(C). If the animal is not
yet reclaimed by the owner within 14 days after the date the owner is notified that the animal
may be reclaimed, the animal may be disposed of as provided under § 93.02(F) and the owner is

Hutchinson Utilities personal and Hutchinson fire personal could check the
building. No gas leak was located;
• Firefighters responded to a call of "smoke in the building" at one of the seven

building that was closed for the day, upon arrival the fire officer determined that it
was not a fire alarm but actually a burglar alarm. Fortunately the fire officer did not
encounter a burglary in progress;
• Firefighters responded to the Middle School in the southwest part of the city when
a smoke detector activated and a light smoke smell hovered in the building's west
side. Students were evacuated and firefighters using thermal imaging cameras

district and found a vehicle about 100 yards off the road. The three victims did not
suffer any injuries;

Training: Firefighters Trained on the Following Topics /Equipment:
• In conjunction with the other McLeod County FD's, we were able to bring Chief
Rick Lasky, a nationally recognized speaker on "Pride and Ownership" to the
Event Center in Hutchinson. The objective of the seminar was to have active
firefighters recognize the historical traditions of the fire service, take pride in the
job they do and discuss the overall "Love of the Job ";
• Firefighters completed the annual SCBA Fit Test, Hearing Test, and Cardio-
Vascular evaluation;
• Firefighters trained on individual "air management'. The training focused on
putting each firefighter through a series of strenuous tasks to evaluate how long
the new 45 minute air bottles will actually last each firefighter before going into
alarm indicating 25% of the air left and then to determine how long the last 25%
will actually last. This test was done in our "Everyone Goes Home" theme of
firefighter safety;
• Firefighters completed the following required OSHA classes: AWAIR, Right to
Know, Blood borne Pathogens, Emergency Action Plan, and Fire Extinguishers.
Fire Preventmi, I / r lAU1Ni 11GIUMA I.J / VII IGI 1111 VI 11 IQLIVI 1.
• We are finished with the spring hiring process and are very pleased to welcome
two new firefighters to the department: Scott Harlow, a 10 year Firefighter /Officer
from the Spicer FD, and rookie Paul Schlueter, we look forward to having these
individuals as part of our team of professionals;

RESOLUTION NO. 14131
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID REFORM INCLUDING
AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF $80 MILLION FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AID AND A NEW, FAIRER DISTRIBUTION FORMULA CONTAINED IN HF 1608
AND SF 1491
WHEREAS, a large number of Minnesota cities rely upon local government aid to
provide for property tax relief for businesses, homeowners, and other types of property;
WHEREAS, the existing local government aid formula is out -of -date and results in
instability and unfair distribution of funding for many cities in the state;
WHEREAS, the funding for LGA is now $139 million less than what was appropriated in
2002, which has resulted in increased property taxes and service cuts;
WHEREAS, Governor Dayton has expressed his support for the LGA program by
recommending an $80 million appropriation increase for the program in his budget; and
WHEREAS, advocacy groups from across the state, including the Coalition of Greater
Minnesota Cities, Metro Cities, and the League of Minnesota Cities, worked together to agree on
a formula that is simpler and fairer;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Hutchinson supports an $80
million increase in appropriation to the Local Government Aid program, along with an annual
appropriation adjustment that accounts for inflation and population growth; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Hutchinson supports House File 1608 and
Senate File 1491, which reflect the agreement of the city groups and significantly improve and
reform the Local Government Aid formula that provides needed property tax relief.

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM:
A background investigation was conducted on James (Jay) Malone of Jay Malone Motors for the purpose of obtaining
a transient merchant license in the City of Hutchinson. Jay Malone Motors plans on conducting a car sale at the
Hutchinson Mall on two separate dates. The first sale will be April 19th through April 29th and the second will be
August 9th through August 19th, 2013. Mr. Malone has been applying for and has been granted this license since
2008.
Mr. Malone does not have a criminal history. He does not have any warrants for his arrest. His last traffic citation was
for speed issued on November 20, 2010. In checking the in -house records, there have not been any recent
complaints against Jay Malone Motors.
Jay Malone did list three other jurisdictions. He listed Clear Lake, Iowa; and Richfield and Lakeville, Minnesota.
Richfield Police has not had contact with Jay Malone. Lakeville Police has not had contact with him in the past ten
years. Clear Lake Police would not provide information over the telephone. A release of information was sent to Clear
Lake PO and at the time of this memo, no response has been received.
It would be my recommendation to issue the transient merchant license to James (Jay) Malone.

Jon Huseby
MnDOT District 8 Engineer
2505 Transportation Road
Willmar, MN 56201
RE: State Trunk Highway 15 — Hutchinson Main Street
Dear Mr. Huseby:
At the recent Transportation Advisory Committee meeting administered by the Mid - Minnesota Development Commission and
MnDOT staffs (April 4, 2013), City of Hutchinson and McLeod County representatives expressed concerns with the State
Trunk Highway 15 (TH 15) deteriorating pavement conditions within the downtown area and immediately north of the 5"
Avenue North intersection. Currently, the proposed State Transportation Improvement Plan (FY 2014 —2017) does not include
any projects relative to these lengths of TH 15, and MnDOT has only verbally communicated that TH 15 through downtown
I lutchinson is scheduled to be addressed within the next ten years. Recognizing the volume of traffic traveling these referenced
roadway segments (2009 ADT's - 8,200 to 13,000), City officials and staff are becoming increasingly worried that failure to
adequately improve this State Highway will result in unpleasant driving experiences within a critical commercial area, potential
damage to truck freights, vehicular repairs, safety issues and substantial pavement maintenance activities.
Per City records and discussions with MnDOT staff, the downtown TH 15 segment was last reconstructed in the 1960's and had
a rehabilitation project administered in 1998. Based on this construction history and the current pavement condition, it appears
that this pavement has served it useful life. Please note that MnDOT previously communicated in the early 2000's that this area
was to be addressed within a 2013 -14 timeframe, but obviously no project has occurred to date. At this time, the City has
recently completed a Transportation Plan update that included significant study of the future function, geometries and
improvements of TH 15 (Main Street) through the downtown area Also. City staff has determined that substantial utility
replacements/reconfigurations would be beneficial beneath this roadway.
In regards to the TH 15 segment immediately north of the 5a Avenue N. intersection that was constructed in 1990, there appears
to be ongoing issues due to the apparent cement alkali- silica reaction (cause of comer cracking), poor joint performance and
utility trench settlements. Unfortunately, this pavement's inadequate surface condition does not reflect its relatively new age
and will necessitate extensive maintenance and/or replacement in the near future.
Local officials, politicians, residents and business owners remain very concerned with and interested in the future viability of
State Trunk Highway 15 within the City and our region. We urge you to coordinate and plan MnDOT's efforts to address the
above described situations in a timely manner in conjunction with the City of Hutchinson.
If you have any input or feedback regarding this matter, please respond to Kent Fxner at 320.234.4212 or
kexner a ci.hutchinson run us .
