5. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Craig Bishop, 221 Freemont Avenue, presented before the Council. Mr. Bishop stated that he
previously had questions about funding for the Public Arts Commission. Mr. Bishop asked how the
percentage is decided on public projects and how taxes are allocated. Mr. Bishop read from a policies
and procedures document for the PAC. Mayor Cook explained that when the PAC was created this
document was put together as a list of ideas for funding. Since that time, the City Council has allocated
a line item in the capital projects fund for Public Arts of $15,000. This year a project was completed
and funded from the public sites fund. There are no taxes used for this fund. Capital projects fund is
comprised of utilities funds and LGA funds. Public sites funds comes from new development fees and
WDOT right of way fees among other things. The sculpture art funds were used from public sites
funds. Approximately $20,000 was used for these sculptures. Mayor Cook noted that having these
funds set aside helps to acquire grant dollars.

being recommended for this structure is the same company that installed the shelters in three other
parks throughout the city.

(b) JEFFERSON STREET SE RECONSTRUCTION PHASE 2 PROJECT (LETTING NO. 1,
PROJECT NO. 14 -01)
Kent Exner, City Engineer, presented before the Council. Mr. Exner explained that this project is
phase 2 of the Jefferson Street project. Mr. Exner noted that a neighborhood meeting was held on
October 29, 2013, with property owners adjacent to the proposed project. Mr. Exner noted that this
is a full reconstruction project, similar to phase 1 of the project. The full reconstruction, which runs
from Oakland Avenue SE to Century Avenue SE, is proposed to include a trail with the narrowing of
the roadway. The estimated total project cost is $2,339,000. Mr. Exner explained the proposed
project improvements, the hearings process, assessments and the schedule and construction items.
The estimated total assessment for a typical city lot is $6988.00. The project is scheduled to begin in
the spring /summer of 2014 and will be fully complete in 2015. The assessment numbers are the
same as phase 1. Mr. Exner noted that some of the properties along this project have fairly large
frontages, therefore the assessments are fairly large. Some discussion was held at the neighborhood
meeting if there would be a possibility of a 15 -year term for assessments as opposed to a 10 -year
term. Mr. Exner explained the processes that need to be followed due to this being a state aid
roadway.
Jeremy Carter explained that bonds are typically issued for 15 years, however as soon as the bonds
are issued, the City cash flows the entire project. The City wants to collect the assessment dollars
during the life of the bond. However, even on 10 -year assessment terms, there may be several
3
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES— NOVEMBER 26, 2013
delinquent assessments that are collected past the 10 -year assessment term.
Mr. Exner explained that this roadway was built in the 1960s and the infrastructure was installed in
approximately 1959.
Steve Dobie, 1135 Jefferson Street, presented before the Council. Mr. Dobie noted that his lot is
approximately double the average lot size of 66'. Mr. Dobie noted his property has easements that
run through it which he feels decreases the value of his property. Mr. Dobie has concerns of the
sidewalk along his property which has a very steep hill next to it. Mr. Exner noted that the
easements will be reviewed and the frontage may be adjusted accordingly. Mr. Exner felt that the
easement area could possibly be deducted from Dobie's frontage. Mr. Dobie expressed that he is a
property owner that would like to see a 15 -year assessment term due to the large assessment amount.
Mr. Exner explained that the trail is proposed to run on the east side of Jefferson Street. Mr. Exner
explained that a two -foot grass shoulder will be placed along the trail and properties along with a
safer slope. Mr. Dobie also asked if the City could consider something other than grass along the
slope, such as low- maintenance native plantings. A railing is not required on this project, however it
could be revisited at a later date. Mr. Dobie asked questions about liability with the trail and the
steep slope of his property abutting the trail. It was noted that this item could be discussed in more
detail once the final design is complete.
Vicky Kockelman, 1038 Jefferson Street, presented before the Council. Ms. Kockelman asked how
the west side property owners will access their properties during construction when they have no
alleyway. Mr. Exner explained that the phasing of the project will be the key factor in access issues.
Ms. Kockelman asked about the older, larger trees and if they will need to be removed. Mr. Exner
noted that if a property owner's tree will need to be removed, the property owner will be notified.
Tree removal will be at the cost of the city.
Steve Lancaster, 1148 Jefferson Street, presented before the Council. Mr. Lancaster noted that a
year or so from now he believes Century Avenue is on the schedule for improvements. Mr.
Lancaster raised concerns with assessment costs as he lives on the corner of Century and Jefferson.
Mr. Exner explained the corner credit policy.
Mayor Cook asked if the assessment policy could be amended to allow for 15 -year assessment terms
for unusually large assessment amounts. Mr. Carter noted that could be accomplished, however he
suggested that a 15 -year term be allowed for the entire project for ease of project tracking and
collection issues. Mr. Exner noted that perhaps a 12 -year term could be considered as well.
Vicky Kockelman presented before the Council. Ms. Kockelman asked how the estimated
assessments came out to actual assessments on phase 1 of the project. Mr. Exner noted that in phase
1 the numbers came out very comparable. The water /sewer services are the numbers that could
possibly fluctuate, however they will be relatively close to the estimates.
Motion by Arndt, second by Czmowski, to close public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Arndt, second by Christensen, to approve final preparation of project plans /specifications
and future advertisement for bids. Motion carried unanimously.
9. COMMUNICATIONS. REOIJESTS AND PETITIONS (Purpose: to provide Council with information

(a) DISCUSSION OF CODE OF ETHICS
Mayor Cook commented that establishing a code of ethics is included in the Council's one to two
year short term goals and was also a part of Jeremy Carter's review process. The Council will be
setting a workshop to review its ends statements as well as to conduct Mr. Carter's review. This
topic could be discussed at either one of those workshops as well. Mayor Cook noted that the City
does have a code of ethics within its City Code. Mayor Cook also distributed separate examples
from the League of Minnesota Cities. Mr. Carter commented that he is obtaining examples from
other cities, as well as the ICMA, on various codes of conduct. Perhaps the City could use those
examples should it wish to establish a separate code of conduct. A draft will be distributed to the
Council prior to a workshop being held.
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
11. NEW BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF ADOPTING 2014 -2018 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PLAN
Jeremy Carter, City Administrator, presented before the Council_ Mr. Carter distributed a
revised capital improvement plan, which includes revisions to Creekside's plan. Mr. Carter
explained that state law requires the city to create a five -year capital improvement plan due to
issuing bonds. Three major components make up this plan, which includes equipment, facility
improvements and infrastructure. The plan is used as a tool to identify long -term goals and can
be modified.
Mayor Cook clarified that the art component is not part of the capital improvement plan. Mr.
Carter explained that per item costs over $10,000 should be included in the capital improvement
plan and items under $10,000 are identified by other funding sources.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Forcier, to approve adoption of 2014 -2018 capital
improvement plan. Motion carried unanimously.

mayoral terms, with a vast majority having four year terms. Mayor Cook expressed that he feels that if
the Council would have a desire to change the mayoral term, he feels it should be placed on a ballot at
the general election for voters to decide. Mayor Cook asked the Council to think about this item and it
can be considered/discussed at a future council meeting. Mayor Cook noted that the Hutchinson Leader

TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING
DECEMBER 3, 2013
1. CALL TO ORDER — 6:00 P.M.
Members Present: Mayor Steve Cook, Bill Arndt, Mary Christensen, and Chad
Czmowski. Member absent: Gary Forcier
Others present: Jeremy Carter, City Administrator
2. TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING
Mayor Cook noted that this hearing is to review taxes for the City of Hutchinson and
not the valuation of property. Those disputes are to be made at the board of
equalization held in April of each year. The purpose of this hearing is to review the
proposed budget and tax levy for 2014.
Jeremy Carter, City Administrator, provided a presentation on the City's proposed
2014 tax levy. Mr. Carter reviewed the 2013 market values process. The process
includes a City board of equalization hearing held in April of each year and a County
board of equalization hearing held in June of each year. The final market valuation
notices are then sent out in November of each year. Mr. Carter then explained the
market value exclusion program and a market value history. Mr. Carter then
reviewed the City's mission statement and reviewed the City's six core areas of focus
which include public safety, health& recreation, transportation, economic
development, environment and good government.
Mr. Carter reviewed the budget process and the timeline followed by City staff and
Council when establishing the proposed budget. Mr. Carter noted that the first
workshop regarding the 2014 budget was held July 9, 2013, and the final tax levies
will be set on December 10, 2013.
Mr. Carter explained that the proposed 2014 general fund budget is just under $11
million. This is a 4.8% increase from 2013. Mr. Carter pointed out that a security
guard program was implemented through the police department for security services
at Hutchinson Health and a retirement incentive program was offered out this year, of
which nine employees took advantage of.
Mr. Carter explained that the budget expense categories include salary & benefits,
sujpplies /repairs /maintenance, contracted services, services /charges, transfers and
miscellaneous expenses. Over $7 million of the budget is in salary & benefits.
Mayor Cook noted that some comments have been made in the past on the City's use
of consultants. Mayor Cook noted that the use of consultants is very limited. Mr.
Carter further explained that consulting is mainly used on infrastructure projects or
specific engineering design work. Mr. Carter reiterated that consultants are rarely
used.
Mr. Carter then reviewed a general fund expenditures comparison from 2013 to 2014.
These expenditures are broken down into public safety, streets & highways, general
government, culture & recreation and the airport. Mr. Carter reviewed general fund
percentage expenditures by department. Mr. Carter then reviewed the general fund
budget revenues. 41% of revenues are collected in taxes, however other sources
include charges for services, intergovernmental revenue, transfers and
reimbursements. Mr. Carter provided a breakdown of the revenues within each of
these categories. Mr. Carter provided information on City staffing levels which have
remained somewhat static since 2011. Mr. Carter also provided information on a
history of the past budgets. The budget has remained under $11 million since 2011.
Mr. Carter also reviewed the various levy scenarios that have been discussed by the
Council. These levies include various increases in the general fund levy and the debt
levy. The Council adopted a preliminary level of 0% general fund levy increase and a
5% debt service levy increase. This means a $14 increase from 2013 to 2014 on an
estimated average median value of a $119,900 home. Therefore, the proposed total
final levy is $6,552,963 or an overall levy increase of 1.5 %. The general fund levy
has remained flat since 2011. Mr. Carter provided a breakdown of a resident's tax
bill. Approximately 39% is City tax, 34% is County taxes and 25% is School District
taxes. Mr. Carter reviewed the City's debt management plan. Mr. Carter also
reviewed a five -year budget out to the year 2019. With the retirement incentive
program, the City will see a significant savings in 2015 and a much smaller budget
gap in 2016 and 2017 then what was proposed earlier this year. Ongoing cost -
containment initiatives include the following: volunteer program, wellness program,
debt management plan, facilities improvement program, equipment /vehicle
replacement program, service prioritization/service level discussions, additional
revenue streams and additional expense reduction opportunities.
Mayor Cook noted that the school district saw a good decrease in taxes due to state
contributions, however that means the City portion will increase. Mayor Cook spoke
of the efforts Council and staff have made to stabilize the tax levies.
3. ADJOURN
Motion by Arndt to adjourn. General comments were made on the work that goes in
to creating budgets and how reserves /cash balances are used, such as for major
storms, snowfalls, street issues, etc. Second by Cook to adjourn at 7:25 p.m. Motion
carried unanimously.

High St NE is posted for No Parking. The intent of the no parking zone is to improve traffic
safety near the apartments located in the area, particularly considering there is a steep grade on

conducting parking lot snow removal activities. To allow for appropriate snow removal activities
in your parking lot, the following procedure is established:
1. Tenants may park on High St NE for a period of no more than 24 hours after
Management has provided notice to tenants that snow removal activities will take
place for the apartment parking lot.
2. Management shall include in any notice provided to tenants a statement that includes instructions
for tenants are to park in the apartment's parking lot as soon as possible after snow removal has
been completed.
3. Management shall provide an email to the City of Hutchinson indicating the date and time when
notice was made to tenants within 24 hours of posting the notice to tenants. Emails shall be
sent to: iolson(a ci.hutchinson.mn.us and smuellerleile d( ci.hutchinson.mn.us.
4. Management may not post notice to tenants until High St NE has been plowed curb -to -curb.
5. Management may not post notice to tenants until any declared Snow Emergency has expired

SNOW ElYIE R ENCY
INFORMATION
The City of Hutchinson implemented a snow emergency ordinance in 2010. A snow emergency may
include significant snow fall, severe drifting and/or freezing rain.
City officials will declare a snow emergency by 4:00 p.m. Notifications will be made to local media outlets
(KDUZ /KARP, HCVN, Hutchinson Leader website) and will also be available as a telephone message.
Residents can check to see if a snow emergency is in effect by calling 320 - 234 -5699.
Snow emergencies begin at 12:00 midnight. There is no parking allowed on streets and alleyways between
12:00 midnight and 7:00 a.m.
A follow -up snow emergency may be declared, depending on conditions, so be sure to check to see if snow
emergencies are in effect on consecutive days.
Existing, posted parldng restrictions remain in effect and will be enforced.
During a snow emergency, police officers are authorized to have a motor vehicle parked in violation of the
ordinance removed at the owner's expense.
How can a person fmd out about a snow emergency?
1) Call 234 -5699 any time to see if a snow emergency is in effect.
2) Consult local media (KDUZ /KARP, Hutchinson Leader website, HCVN)
3) Sign up for everbridge® service by logging onto the City's website: www.ci.hutchinson.mn.us.
and clicking on the red "Emergency Notification System" found on the lower left half of the page.
Follow the instructions for signing up to receive notification of a snow emergency and other City
services via telephone, email or mobile device.
4) If you are unsure, regularly park vehicles in locations other than on the street before and during
snow events, until all streets are fully plowed.
Thank you for your compliance with the snow emergency ordinance. Some families have been very
creative in how they keep their cars off the streets during snow events. A decrease in the number of
vehicles parked on City streets during snow removal operations results in less dangerous conditions and in
improved road conditions for travelers.

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
A few months ago, City staff worked with Hutchinson Health and other organizations /stakeholders to prepare a grant
application relative to community active living initiatives, implementations and projects (unfortunately this grant
funding was not received) . One of the items identified during this activity was the potential installation of trail use
counters. This equipment could be utilized to acquire data to examine trail usage patterns and determine future City
investments in trail system maintenance, upgrades and /or expansions.
Recently, Hutchinson Health volunteered resources for the City to acquire a trail use counter system. At that point,
City staff researched and identified a product that includes three counters and necessary data recovery /compilation
software (see attachment). This system was purchased by the City in the amount of $2,310.00 (see attachment) with
a matching reimbursement from Hutchinson Health. Thus, the City would like to formally recognize Hutchinson
Health's donation of this equipment.

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
Mr. Wacker is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to amend the planned development district to allow construction of
a 4 season porch addition to the house located at 1193 Oakwood Ct NW with zero setback to rear property line. The
porch would replace an existing smaller deck.
The original plan for this neighborhood was developed and approved in 1999. Five foot setbacks were specified in
the Planned Development District plan. Conformance to the site plan is required otherwise changes are processed
through an amendment to the PDD (CUP process).
The applicant is requesting to construct a 10 1/2'x 12'4 season porch addition to the back of the home which would go
right up to the property line. There is an existing small deck in this area that will be replaced by the 4 season porch.
The home owners association did not express any concerns with the request.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. The standards for granting a conditional use permit would be met, subject to the conditions stated.
2. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the R -1 PD district and the Zoning
Ordinance, as well as all other City regulations.
3. The conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions required by the permit are observed.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 3, 2013, for the December 10, 2013, City Council meeting
TO: Hutchinson City Council
FROM: Dan Jochum, Planning Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND THE
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN
ADDITION AT 1193 OAKWOOD CT NW WITH ZERO SETBACKS TO THE
REAR PROPERTY LINE
Background:
Mr. Wacker is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to amend the planned development
district to allow construction of a 4 season porch addition to the house located at 1193
Oakwood Ct NW with zero setbacks to rear property line. The porch would replace an
existing smaller deck.
Planning Commission Meeting:
The Planning Commission considered the request at their December 3rd meeting. Mr.
Jochum explained the request is to amend the planning development district to allow
construction of a 4- season porch addition to the house located at 1193 Oakwood Court NW
with zero setbacks to the rear property line. The porch would replace an existing smaller
deck. He reported the original plan for this neighborhood was developed and approved in
1999. Five foot setbacks were specified in the Planned Development District plan. Changes
to the plan are processed through an amendment to the PDD by Conditional Use Permit. He
commented this is a unique development with much of the land being association property.
Mr. Jay Scheer found the property lines and measured 10.5 ft to rear property line. The
addition will not encroach into the association property. Mr. Jochum commented on the
architectural drawings that appear to conform to the association requirements.
Mr. Richard Lennes, President of The Greens Association, 1175 Oakwood Court, reported
that the association met with the Wacker's and there are no issues. He stated they would
recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Conditional Use
Permit with the findings and conditions in the attached resolution.

GENERAL INFORMATION
R -1 PD (Single Family Planned Development District)
1193 Oakwood Ct NW
4,150 sq ft
Single Family Home
R -1 PD (Single Family Planned Development District)
Traditional Residential Neighborhood
Zoning History: The preliminary plat to be known as Fairway Estates 2nd Addition
was approved in February, 1999. A Conditional Use Permit to
allow single family building units was also approved, along with
the Planned Unit Development and rezoning the property to R -1
and R -2 PDD.
Applicable
Regulations:
Section 154.170
Analysis:
The original plan for this neighborhood was developed and approved in 1999. Five foot setbacks
were specified in the Planned Development District plan. Conformance to the site plan is
required otherwise changes are processed through an amendment to the PDD (CUP process).
The applicant is requesting to construct a 10 1 /2' x 12' 4 season porch addition to the back of the
home which would go right up to the property line. There is an existing small deck in this area
that will be replaced by the 4 season porch. The home owners association did not express any
concerns with the request.
Conditional Use Permit:
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is needed to amend the Planned Development District to
allow construction of an addition up to the rear property line.
The following are standards for granting a conditional use permit:
(a) The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or
desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or
community;

Planning Commission — 12/3/13

(b) The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon
adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility
facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and
(c) The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit
the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable
district regulations.
In reviewing this request, staff considered the potential impacts to adjacent properties. Because of the
way these homes are staggered it doesn't appear allowing a zero setback versus five feet will have a
significant impact to any of the other properties in this development. It should also be noted that the
homes at 1187 and 1189 Oakwood Court also have reduced front and rear setbacks to zero feet.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions:
1. The standards for granting a conditional use permit would be met, subject to the
conditions stated.
2. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the
R -1 PD district and the Zoning Ordinance, as well as all other City regulations.
3. The conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions required by
the permit are observed.
4. All appropriate permits must be obtained prior to the start of construction.

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
A background investigation was conducted on Fayeq Mashal in reference to him obtaining a tobacco license in the
City of Hutchinson. Mr. Mashal appears to be a relative of Karim Mashal, who holds the current tobacco license at
725 Baltimore Avenue SW, Hutchinson Tobacco and Cigar, Inc. They also appear to be changing the name of the
business.
Fayeq Mashal does not have a criminal history and Hutchinson Police Services has not had contact with him. There
is very limited information on Fayeq Mashal. In checking Lexis Nexis, an internet computerized record system, it
appears that Mr. Mashal had a similar business in St. Paul, the Maryland Tobacco Marketplace, Inc.
A search of Hutchinson Tobacco and Cigar was conducted through Hutchinson Police Services records and since the
last licensing of January of 2011, there were three reports involving the business: it was mentioned in a fraud report,
the business was the victim of a theft, and there was an alarm call at the business.
It would be my recommendation to issue the license to Fayeq Mashal.

PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Hutchinson is considering pavement rehabilitation measures on a section of Lynn Road
SW (Washington Ave to Clinton Ave) this summer to address deficiencies in existing pavement
conditions. This street has been identified as needing repair by the City's Pavement Management
Program. Per City staff's review, this roadway is being selected for improvement during the 2014
construction season based on the current pavement condition and the timing of the most cost -
effective improvement method. At this point, the proposed project area is only being considered and
is subject to not being addressed (potentially in its entirety or portions of the identified segment)
depending on City funding limitations and City Council action.
The existing street surfacing is moderately deteriorated with sporadic cracking along some areas of
the proposed improvements. However, the pavement surface seems to show that poor drainage
below the roadway surface is not a significant factor in the current pavement failures. Due to these
segments of roadway being in marginal condition, preventive maintenance measures are not as
likely to adequately repair the current surface and are becoming less cost - effective.
The proposed improvements to these roadways include administering a bituminous overlay method
that would include milling/removing the existing pavement section, minimal concrete curb
replacement, and new bituminous pavement wear surfacing. This proposed pavement mill and
overlay method is proven to be an efficient construction approach and also has shown to be
relatively cost - effective by extending roadway lifecycles approximately 10 to 20 years.
ASSESSMENTS
The proposed work is considered to be a maintenance project, thus a portion of the total cost of
these improvements (approximately 50 %) will be assessed to the adjacent private properties on a
street- frontage basis. Estimated assessment amounts will be provided at the Neighborhood
Meeting. Also, please note that certain property owners may be eligible for deferral of an
assessment depending on their age, a defined disability situation, and/or military service status as
outlined within Minnesota Statutes and City Policy. Additional information regarding assessment
deferral opportunities is available at the Finance Department office (City Center building).
HEARINGS/PROCESS
This Neighborhood Meeting is the first step in the process and, as noted previously, is scheduled to
occur Monday, December 2" d. This meeting will be an informal discussion regarding the project
with City staff, to get preliminary information regarding what the project is proposed to include and
to receive a preliminary estimate of what project special assessments may be. Due to the project
being in an early development stage, these estimates may be fairly broad. This informal discussion
will also allow individual questions /comments to be heard and for a general review of the project to
occur prior to the first official hearing required by special assessment procedures.
The first official hearing, the Public Hearing, is currently scheduled for the City Council meeting
on December 10, 2013, at 6:00 PM. This meeting will be televised and is the formal presentation of
the proposed project to the City Council. Public input time is included and project feedback is
certainly welcomed. Approval at this hearing does not mean that the project will be constructed.
This will be the point at which a formal decision will be made by the City Council as to whether or
not staff should move on to the next step of completing the plans and specifications and soliciting
actual bids for completing the work.
The second official hearing, the Assessment Hearing, would be called after receiving the bids
(probably sometime in April or May). Staff would prepare actual proposed assessments for each
property, and send them out in advance of the meeting. Property owners will then be given the
opportunity to comment on the merits of both the project and the proposed amount of the
assessments. Questions, thoughts and concerns regarding the project or associated assessments
would be heard by the City Council, and official action on whether or not to award the work for
construction would be taken. To formally contest an assessment, a written/signed objection letter
must be provided to the City Administrator prior to or at the Assessment Hearing. This action then
allows you, the property owner, to appeal an assessment to District Court pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Administrator
within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment (typically the Assessment Hearing date) and
filing such notice with the District Court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or City
Administrator.
SCHEDULE & CONSTRUCTION ITEMS
As previously mentioned, construction is anticipated to start in the summer /fall of 2014. The project
should be completed within one construction season (weather dependent).
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please feel free to contact Kent Exner /City Engineer at 234 -4209 or kexneraci.hutchinson.mn.us if
you have any questions or comments you would like addressed. We look forward to reviewing the
proposed project improvements with you.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

BACKGROUND /EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
At a budget workshop held on November 27th, 2013 the City Council reviewed the updated 2014 General Fund
budget. As part of that workshop, I went through staffing recommendations on the positions being vacated by the
early retirement incentive program as of 12/31/2013 and the 2014 General Fund budget impact.
Through internal organizational analysis done surrounding the vacating positions I'm recommending to council
changing the "Planning Coordinator" job title that currently exists on the position classification table to the newly
named "Planning & Building Specialist" title. A revised job description is attached for reference. The newly renamed
position and job description will more broadly encompass, not only the planning and zoning responsibilities and
duties, but also address other areas of need in the building inspection side of the department. As part of this new job
description, I will be moving the rental registration program into this area where greater knowledge and expertise
resides as it pertains to the vast array of building & safety codes within the State of MN.
I ask council to consider renaming this position to the Planning & Building Specialist position and adding it to the
position classification table as part of adopting the 2014 compensation plan.
If there are any follow -up questions on this position or the job duties that will be entailed within this position please let
me know.

Attached is Resolution No. 14221, the proposed 2014 Compensation Plan for the City of Hutchinson. Please note
that this policy, proposed to be effective on January 1, 2014, will replace the 2013 Compensation Plan.
The pay grid included in the policy reflects the 2.0% annual market adjustment that has been recommended and
incorporated as part of the 2014 budgeting process. Please note that this market increase adjusts the pay grid but
does not result in comprehensive across the board market increases for all regular employees. Market increases are
only proposed for those employees whose pay would fall below the minimum of the grid when the adjustment is
applied on January 1, as is indicated in Section I of the plan. This affects eight (8) regular full time employees and
two (2) regular part time employees.
Other changes in the proposed plan include the following:
1. Section I - remove reference to the Wage Committee regarding the 2014 budgeting process to recommend the
market adjustment to the Pay Grid.
2. Section I - delete obsolete language regarding the market adjustment. The deleted language referenced the
granting of a market adjustment for regular employees that has not been in place for several years, and language
taken from the personnel policy addressing withholding an individual market increase because of disciplinary
action.
3. Attachment A - Changes to the City's Position Classification Table, including the following:
A. Reestablishment of the Grade 3 Hospital Security position
B. Elimination of the Grade 3 position of Planning Coordinator
C. Establish the Grade 4 position of Planning and Building Specialist

CITY OF HUTCHINSON
2014 COMPENSATION PLAN
RESOLUTION ADOPTING POSITION CLASSIFICATION
ASSIGNMENT TABLE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2014
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the existing classification of positions
for the City of Hutchinson and the current economic conditions,
BE IT RESOLVED, that a Position Classification Plan is hereby adopted. All positions
covered by this Resolution shall be grouped in grades having a definite range of difficulty
and responsibility. For each position there shall be a title; and there shall be shown
examples of work which are illustrative of duties of positions, as well as requirements as to
knowledge, abilities and skills necessary for performance of the work; and a statement of
experience and training desirable for recruitment into a position.
A. Plan Obiectives
• To establish and maintain a compensation plan that enables the City of Hutchinson to
be highly competitive within our defined market.
• To lead or exceed the market in attracting and retaining qualified, reliable and motivated
employees who are committed to quality and excellence for those we serve.
• To ensure, subject to the financial condition of the City, that employees receive fair and
equitable compensation in relation to their individual contributions to the City's success.
• To follow the principles of pay equity in establishing and maintaining pay relationships
among positions based on the categories of the Stanton Point Factor System.
• To ensure program flexibility necessary to meet changing economic, competitive,
technological, and regulatory conditions encountered by the City.
• To balance compensation and benefit needs with available resources.
B. Plan Structure
The compensation plan specifies salary range minimums and maximums. The intent of
each salary grade is to fall within 80% and 115% of identified market for positions within the
grade. (See Attachment B)
Each numbered pay grade in the basic table consists of the following:
1. Salary Minimum: The lowest amount paid to an employee in a specific job
grade or class. No employee will receive less than the minimum rate. (80% of
market)
2. Salary Mid - point: The middle of the salary range. (97.5% of market)
3. Market Rate: The market rate represents the competitive rate for an employee who
is fully functional within their current position. (100 %)
4. Salary Maximum: The difference between the salary market rate and the salary
maximum represents merit pay for employee performance above that expected of a
particular job. No employee will be paid above the maximum of the salary range.
(115% of market).
C. Open Salary Ranae
The City shall adopt an Open Salary Range compensation plan that will allow for maximum
flexibility and in -range salary administration since there are not defined or pre - calculated
"steps ". Employee movement within the pay grade range to which their position is assigned
is based solely on performance. The open salary range concept rewards good and
exceptional performers and advances employees to the market rate more quickly. (See item
H. [4])
D. Position Classification Assianment
The assignment table shall assign all of the various positions in the Position Classification
Plan to the appropriate pay grade (See Attachment A).
The City Administrator and Human Resources Director may jointly approve a
reclassification of a position provided the reclassification does not exceed two grades
upward or two grades downward from the current pay grade. To initiate consideration of
this type of reclassification, the department director shall submit in writing the specific
reasons for the reclassification.
Any changes to the classification of a position of more than two pay grades shall be
approved by the City Council. Requests for reclassification are normally brought before the
Council each January, and at other times of the year, as needed. To initiate such a
reclassification request, the department director shall submit a written request for
consideration to the City Administrator and the Human Resources Director. The request
shall include a description of significant or considerable changes to the position that warrant
a reclassification. The City Administrator and Human Resources Director will determine if
the reclassification request is to be forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
E. Allocation Of New Positions
When a new position is created for which no appropriate description exists or when the
duties of an existing position are sufficiently changed so that no appropriate description
exists, the City Council, after recommendation of the Human Resources Director, shall
cause an appropriate job description- specification to be written for said position.
F. Pav Grades
1. Exempt Employees
Each position is assigned a pay grade. The normal beginning rate for a new
employee will be the minimum rate. After satisfactory completion of twelve months
probation, an increase may be granted as warranted by the annual performance

3. Hanizars
There were no changes in hangars since the last meeting
4. Ooerational Issues (ODen Proiects)
a) Airport Financials — August 31, 2013. Due to financial software changeover, September's financial
statements have not yet been distributed.
b) 2013 AIP —Report on status of project.
a. Obstruction removal trees marked. Staff now has clear direction from FAA regarding pricing
quotations for the work. City staff is working with property owner to get a final quantity so solid
price quotations from vendors to complete the work. Because initial quotes were quite vague with
regard to the work, it is expected that future quotes will be much better.
b. MPAG kickoff meeting was held yesterday.
c. Airport Surveys —City staff is collating and stuffing mailers for airport surveys. Any help from
Commissioners, tenants and friends of the airport to identify additional potentials survey
participants should be shared with Olson. These surveys will play a key role in the master plan
process.
c) 2014 AIP — Bolton & Menk to report
a. Kevin Carlson of Bolton & Menk reported to the Airport Commission that Mn/DOT had recently
completed pavement condition assessment. The pavement inspections were held this past July.
The rating of the pavement was such that it will be likely that a significant rehabilitation project
will be needed in the not too distant future. Bolton & Menk and City staff have done additional
reviewing of runway and taxiway conditions. It would be beneficial to consider a crack repair and
pavement sealing project, which would extend the life of the pavement until such time as a more
significant project could be planned and undertaken.
b. Based on the recommendation, Bolton & Menk is reviewing the potential for pavement
management project in 2014. This would be an interim maintenance project. Pavement
rehabilitation will be included in the master plan update. The plan will provide guidance for
future pavement rehabilitation projects, including funding for those projects.
5. Other Discussions & New Business
a) Hangar 1720 roof leak —Olson reported that F &W Roofing had completed repairs. When
checking the hangar after the work was completed, there were no indications of leaks. F &W
Roofing recommended to staff that additional work should be done to check screws on upper
portions of the roof and siding.
b) Airport services discussion.
Airport Commissioners reviewed the airport services matrix worksheet. The focus was
the "What" of services, rather than the "How" of providing services.
ii. Kevin Carlson provided updates based on the most recent information from Willmar and
Owatonna airports. Commissioners identified "Must- Have" services and some services
which would be "Optional."
iii. The list of must -have services included:
40 -hour week Aircraft engine, accessory repair.
Fuel, oil & lubricants sales. Flight training
Rental aircraft Operate City fuel facility
Inspect City fuel facility daily Notify City of airport maintenance needs
SWPPP duties Janitor, mow & snow for building areas.
Added must -have service = Monitor Unicorn, assisting pilots as necessary and
update and issue NOTAMS related to field conditions as necessary.
Optional service = May operate a fuel truck or other remote fueling equipment.
Service providers will be encouraged to supply additional services. The additional
services will be a consideration by the Airport Commission in entering into a
service provider agreement.
iv. Following discussion about the services, the schedule of activities relating to selection of
service provider(s) was reviewed. Prior to the November meeting, the list of services will
be sent to Airport Commissioners. At the November meeting, the final list will be
completed. A member of MCOA will be invited to the meeting to serve as an additional
resource regarding the list of services and to inform the Airport Commission of general
terms relating to the "How" of providing services.
c) Internet service at the airport.
Based on recommendations from NU- Telecom and City of Hutchinson IT, the best
alternative would be to upgrade the current NU- Telecom service to their new platform.
This should provide better service to the airport.
ii. Because of demand, it was recommended that the Civil Air Patrol keep their line separate
from the terminal building's line. It appears feasible to share the terminal's line with ASI
Jet, but if there are performance issues, it may be necessary to have a separate line to
ASI, as well.
iii. ASI has agreed to pay for half of the new service ( +/- $70 /month). If the upgraded
service doesn't work well for both the terminal and ASI, the recommendation was for the
City to revert back to the current service and have ASI install whatever service would
best suit their operations.
A motion was made by Schwarze, second by Freeman to upgrade the internet service at the airport
with NU- Telecom and split the billing with ASI Jet. Unanimous approval.
d) Other items
Hangar 1710 — ASI reported the boots for HVAC penetrations in the hangar are leaking.
City staff will look into this. Also, the NE door of the hangar leaks. It may be beneficial
to consider a canopy over that door for rain, snow, and ice.
ii. Site of former Life Link III office /quarters. The utilities have been decommissioned and
the foundation pillars have been removed. There will be gravel placed and graded.
There are no immediate plans for the site, so it will remain graded gravel until further
decisions are made. City staff was directed not to plow the area, but to keep only the
paved driveway south of Hangar 1720 open this winter.
iii. Mayor Cook indicated he had talked to the City Administrator about having Airport
Commission meetings done where a City staff person would be responsible for taking the
minutes. Provided the meetings were held at City Center, that would be possible. Other
advantages of having the meetings at City Center would be the access to computer files
and the ability to do presentations using technologies available there. Mayor Cook asked
that Airport Commissioners consider moving the meetings to City Center.
At 7:07, a motion to adjourn was made by Freeman, second by Cook. Unanimous approval.

Chairman Hantge reopened the hearing at 5:31 p.m.
Chairman Hantge noted Resolution 03 -2013 distributed by Hutchinson Township concerning the
City of Hutchinson Comprehensive Plan. Attorney Sebora commented on the resolution by
Hutchinson Township noting the City of Hutchinson is not subject to the provisions in MN
Statute 462.3535. He pointed out to the Planning Commission that MN Statute 462.355
addresses the Community Based Planning concept. He noted the City Comprehensive Plan is
an alternative for community based planning. Atty. Sebora explained Hutchinson is not
interested in that type of plan. He stated the 30 day waiting period is not necessary because it
doesn't apply to the City. Planning Director Dan Jochum commented on MN Statute 462.355
and clarified the adoption of the comp plan. Discussion followed on the Joint Powers Agreement
between the City and Townships which is not the case for this Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Jochum commented on the several opportunities for public to comment on the plan over the
past 2 years beginning with an open house. He stated the Townships were invited in 2012 to a
meeting to discuss the plan. The townships were notified to comment to the City Council and
Planning Commission. He noted there were numerous other meetings for the public to attend
and comment.
Diane Bobier, 20926 Skyview Circle, noted numerous typographical errors in the document. She
noted there is a majority of the City Imagine Hutchinson in the plan along with the Downtown
plan mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan. She commented on miss communication in the
plan and on the tourism mentioned in the plan. Mr. Lofdahl explained the discussion of the
comprehensive plan is as a guide for the City. He explained the vision of the Comprehensive
Plan can be modified. Chairman Hantge stated the plan is a guide designed to be flexible. Ms.
Bobier commented on the Community Improvement Program and how will the City be able to
fund the expenses. It was explained the CIP is adopted by the City Council. Mr. Jochum

explained the Imagine Hutchinson document has been adopted by the City Council. He
explained this Comprehensive Plan is like the plans of most Cities. Mr. Lofdahl explained the
Planning Commissioners look at items that don't always follow the plan which is a visioning
plan. He noted the Planning Commission must follow ordinances. It was noted errors will be
corrected before the City Council adopts the plan.
Motion by Mr. Lofdahl to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Kirchoff, the hearing closed at 5:48
p.m. Mr. Fahey commented on proceeding with Mr. Frasers concern with the change in density
of the land. Mr. Jochum stated there are no issues with changing the density to medium density.
Mr. Lofdahl commented on the comments from last month. Mr. Norton stated most comments
were exploratory. Mr. Jochum explained errors will be corrected and typos or formatting
mistakes will be edited all at once. Atty. Sebora stated the changes will be made prior to the City
Council meeting and the township resolution has no merit for discussion at the City Council
review. Mr. Fahey made a motion to approve with the exception to correct Mr. Fraser's
concerns to change a portion of the map from low density residential to medium density
residential and correct the errors. Chairman Hantge asked for further comments from the public.
Hearing none, the motion was seconded by Mr. Norton to approve. The motion carried
unanimously. This item will be placed on the City Council agenda at their meeting in November.
Mr. Jochum explained the consultants will correct the errors.
