The following persons appeared: Mr. Wallace Reyerson; Mr. Dick
Thorsen, Mr. Floyd Lehne and Mr. Roger O'Cel of Thorsen, Campbell,
Rolando and Lehne; Mr. Gary Plotz and Mr. Ken Merrill of the City of
Hutchinson.
President Filk explained the purpose of the meeting stating that
Mr. Reyerson questioned the format of the Financial Statement
printed in the Hutchinson Leader dated August 6, 1980 by the City
of Hutchinson wherein they entered the earnings of the Hutchinson
Utilities with those of the City.
After much discussion concerning the reason and looking for a
solution, the accounting people felt that they could legally
unite the two statements in one report but keep the balances
separate for the City and the Utilities.
