Absent: None._ Also present: City Administrator Plotz, City Engineer Priebe, and City Attorney Schantzen. 2. INVOCATION The invocation was given by the Reverend Peter Ram tad of the Vineyard United Methodist Church. 3. MINUTES The minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 13, 1981, Special Joint Meeting of January 21, 1981 and Special Meeting of January 27, 1981 were approved as read upon motion by Alderman Peterson, seconded by Alderman Beatty and unani- mously carried. 4. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P.M. (a) CONSIDERATION OF OFF- STREET PARKING The Council meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M. to move the public hearing up- stairs to the Auditorium. Mayor Westlund reconvened the hearing at 8:05 PM and read Publication No. 2373, Notice of Hearing on 1981 Off- Street Parking Project. Mayor Westlund commented that the Parking Committee and City staff have been working on a revised off - street parking formula for some time. The new form- ula was presented and adopted at the January 13, 1981 City Council meeting. City Administrator Plotz -and City Accountant Merrill gave a presentation of the off - street parking proposal. It was stated the parking program will cost $1.5 million and provide for 700 -750 new parking spaces within the downtown parking district, which was the area inside the red lines on the displayed map. The financing of the parking lots would come from two sources: 1) $500,000.00 from the City (1/3 the cost), and 2) $1 million from property owners in downtown area (2/3 of cost). It was pointed out that the Tax Increment Financing Plan, in the amended version, has made possible the financing of the City's portion for the project. 491 COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 City Accountant Merrill presented a detailed report on the formula and stated the following two factors were used to determine the assessments to property owners: 1) 50% - Market value of land and building(s) 2) 50% - Parking requirement The Planning Commission has reduced the parking requirement to .55 spaces per 100 square feet. The City Engineer's office recently did a survey of available parking spaces, and credits have been given where applicable to the property owner(s). It was further pointed out that the parking meter heads will be removed from the downtown area on a trial basis, with perma- nent removal at a later time. Mayor Westlund reported the Hutchinson Downtown Retail Association was in support of the off - street parking plan and read the Resolution adoptedy the Association. The hearing was then opened to the public for commenT. Ward Haugen Commented that in conversations with other GTC Auto Parts people, there were some questions on the park- ing spaces required by the formula used. Asked what the total number of spaces would be in the downtown district vs. the formula being used. Stated this could be critical for those getting a credit if the formula showed a need for more spaces than possible in the space available. Felt it was an,;tn- flated formula if the formula stated one amount of needed parking space and, in fact, there could only be one -half that number. The form- ula inflates the number required with what is provided. Would spend additional money beyond what he felt was needed. Mayor Westlund Responded that the spaces needed would be the land available at that time. The project would provide as many parking spaces as possi- ble. The City is proposing 700 -750 addi- tional spaces, but this figure could change. Russell Meade Urged the Council not to adopt the formula Meade's 66 Station at this meeting. Stated it needed more study and work. No input was put into it from those who are on the fringe. Some have already taken care of their responsibilities for parking. Felt it was unfair in view of the money and time and effort that has been put into the location. -2- COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Robert Rozmarynowski Stated he had just bought his business. Felt Wash Tub the square footage was out of line. Instead of paying for all the parking lots, asked why a group couldn't get together and build lots. Chuck Wilson Commented he understood from the introduc- McCombs- Knutson Assoc. Inc. tion that this presentation constituted a preliminary. Stated he hadn't seen any form- ula but rather only some examples. Asked if the post office would be involved in the one - third cost the City is paying. Urged the City to use an equal payment method rather than equal principal method for computation as it is not difficult to compute. Kenneth Merrill Explained how the staff had arrived at the City Accountant formula being used. The figures of 6C per dollar market value and $355 per parking space were used to determine the assessment. Since this hearing is a preliminary, the figures can be recomputed. Chuck Wilson Felt the estimates were low on the-credit given for some parking lots. Gary Plotz Stated the post office has had experience City Administrator with special assessments before. He had talked to the Post Master, and the City can- not levy assessment against the post office. Kenneth Merrill Responded there would be a problem with the law as t,h ate w does not allow the plan � s y Mr. Wi son. suggested Bill Fahey, Consultant Explained there may be some problem with Ehlers & Assoc. legality. Some cities have state -wide excep- tions; others do it without authority. Mr. Fahey stated he had met with the Dorsey law firm to discuss Hutchinson's situation. Both the Chapter 429 and 459 State Statutes are being used, and the Dorsey firm wanted more clarification. Jim DeMeyer Commented he was trying to get clarification DeMeyer Realty of residential vs. commercial property. Ex- pressed concern about property removed from the tax rolls to create parking lots and treat- ed as City -owned property. Stated there was a shifting of taxing obligations. Asked how the loss would be recaptured. -3- COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Gary Plotz City Administrator Jim DeMeyer Mayor Westlund Dick Piehl, Mgr. Prudential Ins. Co. Neil Wagner, Mgr. Am. Legion Post 96 Stated the City would first have to buy the property, and then it would be taken off the tax rolls. Commented on increased value of property in downtown area. The parking lots would be owned and maintained by the City. He felt that in fairness to the people who have park- ing, this area should be given some thought. Stated the availability of the parking should increase the property values in the comdercial area. This would make up for the lost value. Also, the City would have to assume the costs for maintenance of the lots. �t t Felt the project was a little prematurefiAth a shopping center going in south of towre. It would be better to wait until the center is established to see if it affects the downtown parking. Didn't feel there was a need at this time. Stated there is always a place,to park in the downtown during the day. With the gen- eral trend of what is happening, it is 61 °time to reduce taxes, not increase them. Asked if any consideration was given to tusi- ness hours. Looking at maximum parking"during hours of 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., but other busi- nesses may have need after those hours. Victor Olesen Stated he had been required to put in 13 off - Main Motors street parking stalls when he built his build- ing. Now the number had been increased to 26. Didn't feel he needed more parking space. Arlie Schlecht Questioned the number of parking spaces needed Plowman's, Inc. and the cost per spot. Lanny Waalen Asked if added parking required and substracted Anderson - Waalen Interior parking provided to get the net parking needed and divided that into the $500,000. Arlie Schlecht Stated he didn't feel the figures matched up. Asked: "Where are we going, and what are we asking for ?" -4- COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 2 7, 19 81 Marlow Priebe Reported there are 358 meter heads and 272 City Engineer spaces for off - street parking without meter heads, except on private lots. The City Or- dinance requires approximately 2,420 parking spaces of those who received notices; 972 spaces are provided by the property owners receiving notices of the hearing. That would mean the City would be short 818 parking spaces from what the Ordinance would require for busi- ness places sent notices. Herb Franzen Stated the emphasis should be on business Property Owner rather than worrying about parking. Felt there was parking space available on Main Street at any time. Russell Meade Commented on unmetered off - street parking. Asked Alderman Peterson if he remembered when it was necessary for him to contact an attor- ney regarding parking. Stated he had 12 -17 parking spaces, but he was given credit for only four. Felt the project needed more home- work. Frank Fay Pointed out on the map the property he owns Frank Fay Realty in the downtown district. Stated he felt there was a need for parking in the downtown area; however, he did'not feel the City should proceed with the formula at this time. He would be assessed 14% for property he owns, and the Hutch Hotel and Kirby building do not produce much income. Furthermore, he was not given full credit for existing parking spaces. Recommended the matter be tabled or continued to a later meeting. He was opposed to it. Alice Lovald Asked where the parking lots would be located. Home Bakery Also, asked if one parking lot would be taken away if the fire station referendum goes through. Mayor Westlund Responded that the parking lots would be lo- cated one -half block off Main Street, but no individual sites have been selected at this point. If the fire station referendum passes, one parking lot would be lost. WE COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Irvin Burich Citizens Bank & Trust Co. Ward Haugen Asked about the cost of the parking plan and questioned the amount of the assessments. Asked if the assessments were based on half of what is being charged or one -half of the formula. Jim DeMeyer Asked Bill Fahey, Consultant, about the Tax Increment District. The funds to be coor- dinated are from the Tax Increment District. Thought it would present a problem if these monies were spent outside of the district. Asked if there would be any parking lots-out- side the district. Bill Fahey, Consultant Explained the parking area includes two - -vf the tax increment districts. Must show; -hat there are enough spaces and that one -third the cost was spent for it. Stated it was the opinion of the bond counsel that it is legal and can be done if the money is spent within the redevelopment area. The City would be selling parking lot improvement bonds, ,and the bond proceeds would be used to make -the improvements. Don Krasen Stated he bought property 15 years ago p pro - Krasen Plumbing & Heating vide for his own parking needs. Let those who need parking space buy- property for it.- Felt the project was too expensive and not needed. Robert Rozmarynowski Asked how long the revenue from the shopping center would take. aiggested using the $500,000 to build lots and stop there. Mayor Westlund Stated that many people have felt over the years that additional parking was needed for downtown Hutchinson. Since the City has quite a bit of property downtown, it should share in a portion of the parking cost. Instead of the tax payers throughout the community pay- ing for downtown parking, the City would pro- vide $500,000.00 from shopping center revenues. This money would not, however, be brought in without assessments from the downtown property owners for two- thirds the cost of parking lots. COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Mayor Westlund Jay Alrick Alrick's Men's Clothiers Stated he had heard only negative comments and asked for positive comments. Felt there was a need for off - street parking downtown. Stated he would rather pay the as- sessments to shop downtown than go to a shop- ping center and pay monthly rent, plus help pay for the parking lot. Expressed concern for keeping the downtown alive and doing busi- ness. Clarice Coston Commented that in a telephone survey taken, Chamber of Commerce 25 of the 38 Downtown Retail Association mem- bers were contacted. Only three or four had negative comments and were against the park- ing plan. The others had positive comments because they realize the customers need places to park. Although many businessmen do not own their own building, they realize any increase in taxes will be passed on to them in increased rent. The Chamber of Commerce owns its build - ing and will be participating. Russell Meade Remarked that his comments were meant to be constructive. He favored downtown parking but felt there needed to be more homework on the program. Urged the Council to table or post- pone action at this time. Mayor Westlund Stated he had heard more negative than construc- tive comments to continue working on the formu- la and plan. Asked if the City should continue its work if the feeling is negative. The City could provide something to make the downtown alive but would need some work from the busi- ness people. The parking assessment could be needed to protect the investment downtown, but the City didn't want to place an assessment on the downtown if it is not wanted. Irvin Burich Did not want his comments to be taken as nega- tive. Felt there was ,a need for downtown park- ing. The downtown cannot continue as it has without a lot more parking. It has been short of parking space since he came to Hutchinson. This is a once in a life -time opportunity with $500,000.00 offered for downtown parking by the City. -7- COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Al Cheney Stated he had worked for the City and was Deputy Sheriff aware of the lack of parking spaces downtown. Commented he didn't hear it mentioned, but one fear is not knowing where the parking lots are going to be built. Perhaps more study could be done as to the location of the park- ing lots. Businessmen are objecting to pay - ing for lots that would benefit someone else because the location was closer to his /her business. He wouldn't want to buy something unless he knew what he was buying. Mayor Westlund Remarked there was a need to be flexibly-' at this point. The parking lots would be at- tered one -half block off Main Street, start- ing at the river. Parking is needed, and the committee has done much work on the plaik It may be necessary to close off streets f*t park- ing. Many things are being taken into con- sideration. Ward Haugen Pointed out his objection was to the formula and that it needed more work on it. Dave Jensen Stated the Citizens Bank was willing to =pay Citizens Bank & Trust Co. its assessment on the project. Dennis Schroeder Inquired about the size of the districts' Asked Rep. for Elks Lodge if those on the east side would get their share of the parking. Gary Plotz Commented there was a similar district four years ago. The Parking Committee, Downtown Development District Advisory Board and City Council had input in determining the area of the downtown parking district. Milburn Henke Stated Clarice Coston had made reference to Property Owner the assessments being passed on to the rent- ers in additional rent. Some of the agree- ments are written leases covering a long -range period of time and cannot be adjusted to ab- sorb the assessment. Felt he was being asked to pay for something that he didn't know what he was getting, and he was negative to the plan. Asked what would happen to the money raised by the bonds if construction takes two or three years. -8- • COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 Robert Rozmarynowski Commented on the credits given for parking. Felt the figures were off 50 %. Suggested the study be redone. Mayor Westlund Stated the City Council had agreed that the tax increment money would ~not be used to -pay for the total project, but rather the business people would have to participate. He then called on the Aldermen for comments. Alderman Bruce Peterson Remarked that he was glad to see unity on the need for off - street parking downtown. Felt the hearing should be continued at some future date. He was glad the project got to the point where a public hearing could be held, and he hoped people would come to var- ious meetings and help the Council make a final decision on the project. Alderman Milton Lueneb urg Pointed.out:_he had been working on the down- town parking program for the last 15 years. Stated persons have the right to disagree, - but more people should have had input when the staff and committee were meeting on the plan -so they would be aware of their feelings. Alderman Ken Gruenhagen Stated he agreed with Aldermen Peterson and Lueneburg's comments. Said he had many peo- ple say to him that something had to be done, there was a need for more parking. He point- ed out it was not up to the Council to do all the work. Someone has to pay for the project. He was in favor of more research and tabling at this time. Alderman `Ted Beatty Reported he was in favor of a downtown park- ing program. Felt it was not the City's re- sponsibility to pay for the total project. The motion was made by Alderman Peterson to defer the public hearing. Seconded by Alderman Lueneburg, the motion unanimously carried. In summary, Mayor Westlund commented that from the public hearing just com- pleted some comments were negative and some felt the formula should be re- vised; some felt the assessments were not fair. The City staff will do further study on the project,and the public hearing will be continued at a later date. -9- COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 1981 5.

The Parking Committee reviewed the existing fox+mula and did a survey of several other cities. Each city had a different formula, but three factors seemed to emerge, namely: 1) parking requirement of build- ing, 2) value of building, and 3) proximity of parking lots. The City staff decided the present formula should be repealed.

It was explained that this is a micro- processor based unit that has solid state electronic circuits which can be programmed to perform certain limited functions. Administrator Graves reported there were five bids on the energy management micro- processor, and it was the recommendation of the Hospital Board to award the bid to Enertec Energy Management System in the amount of $251992.00 and to request authority to purchase a printer in order to produce hard cow.

Absent: Alderman Peterson. Also present: City Administrator Gary Plotz,_ City Engineer Marlow Priebe, City Accountant Ken Merrill, Director of Maintenance Ralph Neumann, and City Attorney.Schantzen. Mayor Westlund stated that he and Administrator Plotz had met recently with the City Administrator and Mayor of Litchfield in discussion of a joint airport. All present were in favor of continuing negotiotions and felt a board should be established to work out final details. Administrator Plotz noted that Litchfield shows a willingness to find a suitable location and as of now the most favorable location would be near Highways 7 and 22. The approximate cost of the joint airport would be $411 million. Each community would pay 5 per cent of this cost with the remainder, or 90 per cent of the cost being funded by federal and state aviation tax funds. Mayor Westlund noted that much of the present equipment at the airport could be moved to the new airport. Mayor Westlund and Administrator Plotz also received a favorable response from representatives of 3M as to interest in the joint airport. After more discussion, it was moved by Alderman Beatty, seconded by Alderman Lueneburg and unanimously carried, to enter into an agreement with Litchfield to participate in consultant studies for location of a joint airport. The cost for this would be $5,000 for each community. Mayor Westlund stated that he felt the city must keep a site open for an indus- trial park area. There was discussion of using the present airport site for this but because of the high cost of furnishing water to that area and its proximity to a railroad, Alderman Gruenhagen felt the property east of the present industrial park would be better suited for this purpose. Mayor Westlund felt it was impor- tant to bring more industry to Hutchinson and suggested discussion with the Chamber of Commerce on this matter. Because of several negative comments at the last council meeting regarding the cost of Off- Street Parking, the council discussed this matter and decided the city needs to break down into more detail the way in which the figures were arrived at. Mayor Westlund instructed City Engineer Priebe to conduct a walking survey of present parking spots, (metered, non - metered, and private) then to apply the present formula to determine how many parking spots we are short. Mayor Westlund stated that the City should be more explicit as to what the various businesses were given credit for as to present space. Mayor Westlund noted that he'd like to have two additional representatives of the business community added to the parking committee with Alderman Beatty as council representative. Alderman Gruenhagen said he'd like to have a letter sent to the Downtown Advisory Board asking for assistance with the parking problem. MINUTES - SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1981 PAGE 2 It was unanimously decided to continue the hearing on Off- Street Parking until the last Council meeting in March. The subject of the Carlson property was discussed next and City Attorney Schantzen stated he was waiting for the abstract. City Administrator Plotz said the price for the property was $44,500 which was in between the high and low appraisal. The conditions of the contract call for $13,000 down, contract for deed, 10 per cent interest, 5 year contract. It was moved by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen and unanimously carried, to proceed on the purchase of the Carlson property.

A written protest is forthcoming. Attached is a letter from Mr. Helland. I was not able to contact him before the hearing, however, the costs for his property are beingdeferred, which I do not believe he understands. Also, the area will be able to be used for agricultural purposes except for the roadway areas.

These hearings are set for February 10. I will be in Hawaii at that time, and will not be back until mid - March. Naturally, I am for any continuation of the com letetion of projects already authorized involving my property. However, we have agreed that no new projects will be undertaken involving the bringing of services to my property until I dispose of a good portion of the hand we have already platted and to which water and sewer servies have been extended, and placed on the tax schedule. The area involing the extension of School Road is agricultural at this time, and 'I do not want to change that status until we have need for the land for development purposes. Hope to see you when I get back in March.

They provide the framework under which all capital expenditures are made. Policy questions and statements need to be adopted by the City Council and updated on a yearly basis. The following policy statements are presented here for City Council adoption prior to the initial preparation of a CIP program. �0= • 0 AIRPORT POLICIES Major expansion will take place based upon the availability of state and federal funds$ airport revenues and general fund appropriation. Building and facility improvements will take place based primarily upon airport revenues. IMPLICATIONS The need for airport improvements must be coordinated with the Aeronautics Division of the Minnesota Department of Transportation. POLICIES The city will participate in downtown improvement programs through tax increment financing and assessment programs. The city will also make available Industrial Revenue Bonding and Tax Exempt mortgages to assist in the financing of public or private improvements. IMPLICATIONS An active program to seek private developments can serve to stimulate orderly downtown improvement through the construction of programs contained in the Development District Programs. 0 POLICIES INDUSTRIAL PARK 0 The city will assist in industrial park expansion through industrial subdivision improvements and long term assessment programs. Deferred assessments, Industrial Revenue Bonds, and similar programs will be utilized when appropriate. IMPLICATIONS The city does not have a supply of adequate available industrial sites. The deficiency in this area deters all city growth and can lead to a decline in the city's tax base. Improvement of industries serves to stimulate property values, employment and other secondary developments including residential and commercial rises. IMMEDIATE RECOMMENDATION Identify the City Engineer as the party responsible for organizing and promoting the establishment of an expanded industrial park in or adjacent to the city limits. 0 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE POLICIES Funding of land acquisition in newly developing areas will be through subdivision development fees. Other improvements will be financed through the city's general fund or through an expansion of the city's Street Improvement Bonding Program. An ongoing improvement program relating to existing city owned park land will take place to the extent of needed improvements through the city's general fund. IMPLICATIONS A concerted effort in grantsmanship may serve to facilitate more rapid improvement of park and open space areas. PUBLIC BUILDINGS POLICIES 0 General Obligation Bonding referendums will be proposed to the voters for all major public buildings. Revenue producing buildings such as the Liquor Store will be funded by use of revenue bonds. Revenue sharing reserves will also be used to fund public buildings. IMPLICATIONS The need for public buildings particularly for public safety and administration is well known. Delay in the provision of these facilities serves only to continue operations within inefficient spaces. MAJOR OR ARTERIAL STREETS POLICIES A. Ring Road, bridges, and other arterial street improvements will be funded through the use of federal, state, and county road funds available to the city. B. The Maped Street Act will be used to protect future needed right -of -ways. IMPLICATIONS The city must take a positive stance on the long range orderly development of the Ring Road through the regular funding of improvements and use of a major street map which will assure the needed right -of -way. IW,1EDIATE RECOMMENDATION Direct the City Engineer to protect future right -of -ways needed for major arterial streets through the use of the Maped Street Act. • NEW SUBDIVISIONS POLICIES The full cost of providing new streets, utilities, and lighting will be provided by the City and fully assessed to the requesting subdivider. IMPLICATIONS All development coats of new subdivisions should be absorbed by the developer and not passed on to existing property owners. EXISTING STREETS POLICIES A. The policy of the city is to complete all needed street improvements by the year 1990. B. Improvement of existing streets will be assessed against abutting property owners. The city will fund oversizing of street width and intersection cost, from general taxation, through a bonding program. C. A yearly assessment of all unimproved streets should take place based on the added cost to the city of maintaining such streets. D. Repair and improvement of existing streets, after they have been assessed, will be funded by:the city through a bonding program. IMPLICATIONS Each year the city should complete the improvement of 10 percent of the remaining unimproved streets. All unimproved streets should be listed and scheduled for improvement within one to ten years. Options on when an improvement takes place should be limited to the year it takes place and then subject only to switching years with a similar improvement. POLICIES SIDEWALKS • Sidewalks are to be provided on public roads as follows: A, Major thoroughfares with traffic volumes exceeding 1,000 vehicles per day. B. All major routes to public schools. C. All major commercial areas where foot traffic is essential, D. Sidewalk installation in the Central Business District, defined as one and one half blocks on each side of Main Street from the South Fork Crow River to 4th Avenue South, will be assessed to abutting property owners. In all other areas sidewalk installation will be accomplished by the City through an expansion of the City's Street bonding program. E. All sidewalk repairs will be the responsibility of the property owners. IMPLICATIONS The City Planning Commission or the City CIB Committee will have to identify and detail these routes and develop an appropriate assessment program. u ��� TIe TTlt STREET TREES • A. Two trees shall be provided in the margin of each lot in each new residential subdivision per a subdivision agreement. B. Replacement of existing street trees will take place whenever appropriate through general fund appropriation or through special grants. IMPLICATIONS An ongoing program of the replacement of street trees is to be performed in response to annual losses and new plantings resulting from street improvements. STREET LIGHTING POLICIES A. Publicly financed street lights shall be provided at each street intersection. $ Mid -block lighting shall be provided upon special requests and approval by the City Council. IMPLICATIONS Street lighting programs will have to be considered and approved with the city's street programs. 0 POLICIES UTILITIES A. All cost of utility extensions and streets in new subdivisions will be charged to the subdivision requesting such improve- ments. B. Revisions to the existing utility system or trunk line extension will be paid for through increased utility rates. C. Water plant expansion and /or water towers will be paid for through increased utility rates. D. Sewer plant expansion will take place when substantial federal funds are available for such construction. Local share of such improvement will be paid for through increased utility rates. E. Storm sewer system lines will be assessed based upon the area to be served. IMPLICATIONS Utility rates need to be revised accordingly. Yearly review would be reasonable. STATE AND FEDERAL GRANTS POLICIES The city will utilize state and federal grants in lieu of city funds whenever such monies are available. IMPLICATIONS Federal and state grant programs are continually changing. A concerted effort by local officials is essential in order that applications are prepared and submitted in a timely manner and the city becomes the recipient of funds' of local benefit. �► i L MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING OF TRANSPORTATION Board FEBRUARY 10, 1981 A special meeting of the Transportation Board was 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10, 1981. Members were Jack Kjos, Chairman, Emma Lake, Russ Meade, Members absent were Clarice Costen, Gerry Johnson Johnson. Also present were City Engineer Priebe, Plotz and Transit Coordinator Sitz. held at present Ken Gruenhagen. and Rick City Administrator There was discussion of the bids received for two new transit vehicles. On a motion by Russ Meade, seconded by Ken Gruenhagen and passed unanimously, it was the recommendation of the Transportation Board to the City Council that the bid of Minnesota Body & Equipment Co. be accepted. Factors of seat width and aisle width as they related to passenger comfort were the major consideration in this recommendation. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m. (5-C, 1 0 6 DATE January 27, 1981 POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO. Mayor and City Council FROM. Chief of Police, Dean M. O'Borsky • v SUBJECT: School Bus Parking The school buses parked to pick up students are parked too close to the crosswalk. This causes eastbound vehicles to have an obstructed view of the crosswalk. Pedestrians are well into the lane of traffic before they are seen by approaching traffic. I request that parking be prohibited at least 50 feet west of the crosswalk, which would allow better vision in that area and should help a potentially dangerous situation. Authorization to replace the sign is probably necessary. I don't know if an ordinance change is required. Photos attached.

January 29, 1981 FOR YOUR INFORMATION When we introduced 100 Main to you, we were sincere in our intentions of delivering. to you the building, its program and all the dreams involved. At that time, as a result of legal advice, we were assured that permanent financing was permissible under the provisions of the Ullman Bill, as it read at that time. The Bill, as it was originally written, did not place any restraints on cooperative development for elderly. Unfortunately, the Omnibus Reconciliation Act changed all that, during the waning days of the 96th -Congress. On December 3, the Conference Committee of the Senate and House put provisions into the Omnibus Reconciliation Act, which put severe constraints on housing development nationwide. A provision stipulated that if funding through housing bonds is used, only people -who have not owned a home within three years prior are allowed to purchase a cooperative share. Housing bonds were the permanent financing- vehicle planned for 100 Main. This Act has had a tremendous impact on the entire housing industry. The law clearly makes it impossible to use housing bonds to build any new housing option for a majority of elderly people. Under the provisions of the Recon- ciliation Act, it is possible to build rental units. Ironically, this action penalizes elderly folks who have worked hard all their lives to own a home and who want to retain home ownership in any alternative housing. Because of the impact of this congressional action on 100 Main, it is impos- sible for us to predict when we can start your project. Your sponsor and we are dedicated to providing what we feel is the finest housing option for your future. Until now, we have been able to tell you, with confidence, when you could plan on moving into 100 Main. In a spirit of honesty, and recognizing your need for future planning, we must inform you now that we cannot tell you accurately when the cooperative will be completed. Page 2 There will be a Cooperative Living Center in Hutchinson. However, if you need an immediate housing option, we suggest that you do not count heavily on this being ready for occupancy as soon as we had originally projected. We want to assure you that we haven't been sitting by idly. As a result of this news, and after we got over our temper tantrums (in which we wanted to replace all of our Congressmen and Senators::), we went to work - in Washington as well as on a State and local basis. After hundreds of hours of writing, discussing and meeting with Congressmen; Senators and their staffs we feel that substantial progress had been made .�" We have been assured recently by the Minnesota delegation that bills will be introduced into the House and Senate early in this session to remedy this situation. Congressman Bill Frenzel, who is on the House Ways and Means Committee, and Senator Dave Durenberger, who is on the Senate Finance Committee, will jointly introduce and expedite passage of a bill to remove the ownership requirement for.cooperatives for persons sixty years and older. This, of course, is good news, and we are confident that a solution is forth- coming. But, we must be realistic, and understand that the problems of getting an Act of Congress passed is no simple task. It will take a great deal of time and effort on the part of many people. The Cooperative Living Centers staff and Christ the King Lutheran Church feel that whenever the cooperative starts up again, each person on the existing Reservation List will retain their same priority advantages. Cooperative Living Centers, like many other good things, don't seem to come easily. We will publish a periodic Newsletter, and will hold community meetings whenever we have anything of significance to discuss with you. We are sorry to have to share this kind of news with you, but felt you would like to know the truth. You have given us the incentive to carry on before Page 3 whenever the going got a little rough. Hang in there! Sincerely, l Anthony Vavoulis Cooperative Living Centers 738 West 66th Street Richfield, Minnesota 55423 (612) 866 -2515 P.S. A letter to Senator Durenberger and Congressman Frenzel or your district's Congressman, Tom Hagedorn, may emphasize the impact that the Reconciliation Act had on the lives of many Minnesotans. We would appreciate any efforts you could make. Thank you.

FINANCIAL SPECIALISTS MINNEAPOLIS. MINNESOTA 55402 339 -8291 (AREA CODE 612) To: Gary Plotz, City Administrator FOR YOUR INFORMATION City of Hutchinson, Minnesota From: Bill Fahey Re: Fire Hall Project We have computed the average annual debt service for a proposed $730,000 bond issue, the mill increase, and the tax impact of such an increase on homes valued from $10,000 to $100,000. Exhibit 1.00 shows debt service for a proposed $730,000 bond issue. Based on current market conditions, we have estimated the coupon rate of 8.50% for a fifteen year issue. The average annual debt service, then, would be about $88,000 and the average mill increase would be about 2.40 mills. Exhibits 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00 show the tax increase in dollars based on this 2.40 mill increase. Reading on the far left -hand side of the page, each exhibit shows the tax increase before consideration of any income - related credits. Exhibit 2.00 shows that a family inhabiting a non -ag homestead property valued at $40,000 would pay about $18 more per year in taxes with the project increase. Exhibit 4.00 reflectsthe additional 17 mill differential for ag- homestead property and shows that a family inhabiting a $40,000 ag- homestead property would pay $13 more per year. However, the State of Minnesota pays additional income - related credits for families living in homestead properties. The effect of these credits are shown for different home values and varying incomes in Exhibits 2.00, 3.00 and 4.00. For example, for the family living in the same $40,000 non -ag homestead property with an income of $15,000 there would be no net property tax increase, Exhibit 3.00 reflects the additional credits for senior citizens and disabled in non -ag homestead property and Exhibit 4.00 reflects the credits for ag- homestead property. These computer runs enable you to estimate the tax increase for sample properties and incomes by finding the market value (not assessed value) in the left -hand column and reading across the page to the corresponding income level. These calculations were based on the following information as furnished by the McCleod County Auditor: 1980/81 Assessed Value - City of Hutchinson 1980/81 Mill Rates - City of Hutchinson Region 6 -E I.S.D.
