After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder- man Haag, to refund the fee for the unused liquor license pro -rata to Mr. Robert Lynch. Motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF PARKING METERS Mayor Black pointed out that consideration needs to be given to seeking additional means to increase the revenues from parking meters to pay for the off-street parking lots. -3- Council Minutes September 27, 1977 Mayor Black read a letter from the Downtown Council opposing the change in the parking meter fines. He then asked where the money is to come from to pay for the operating expenses and meet the payments on the revenue bonds for the off-street parking lots. Doug Flaa, President of the Downtown Council, felt that the Downtown Development Plan can do a lot for the downtown of Hutchinson, but in- creasing the fines on the parking meters could do a lot of harm to the downtown. Increasing the fines as an interim situation will only create ill -will. Mayor Black remarked that in 1976 there was a $8,000 deficit, and there will be another on this year unless something is done. The meters are not being enforced and the fee is too low for a fine. Credibility is involved in making payments on the bond since the public was promised this expense would be paid by revenues from parking meters. Both Aldermen Westlund and K. Peterson agreed that no action should be taken at this time. Rather, the Council should wait until the downtown development program gets underway and determine what needs to be done at that time. It was moved by [alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to defer the second reading of Ordinance No. 544.entitled Ordinance Amend- ing Section 720:60 of the 1974 Ordinance Code of the City of Hutchinson, Entitled Parking Meters - Violations and table further action at this time. The following voted yes: Aldermen Westlund, K. Peterson, and Haag; Mayor Black voted no. Motion carried with vote of 3-1. (c) CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR ASSESSING IN 1978 After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder- man K. Peterson, to authorize Mayor Black and Administrative Assistant Plotz to enter into contract with the McLeod County Assessing Office in the amount of $12,500 to do 1978 county assessing for Hutchinson. Mo- tion carried unanimously. 9. NEW BUSINESS (a) CONSIDERATION OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, JEFFERSON STREET In a memorandum from the City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe, it was pointed out that two gas pumps on the Albrecht Oil Company property will have to be moved out of the right-of-way before the federal funds on this project will be approved. The cost of moving same is $4,278, and Mr. Albrecht has requested financial assistance from the City. In Mayor Black's opinion, this expense should be a shared cost between the City,and Albrecht. -4- Council Minutes September 27, 1977 Aldermen Haag and Westlund were in agreement that the shared cost should be an a 50-50 basis. It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Haag, to share the cost of moving the two gas pumps on a 50-50 basis between the City of Hutchinson and Mr. Albrecht of Albrecht Oil Company with work to be done in the fall of 1977. Lotion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY AT 26 FRAN WR STREET NORTH A question was raised regarding billing for sewer service line work per- formed at 26 Franklin Street North by Mr. Carlie Karg. It was the consensus of the Council that the City would be responsible for paying the bill inasmuch as this is city -owned property. It was moved by Alderman Haag, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to authorize payment by the City for the work performed by Carlie Karg at 26 Franklin Street North. Motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF DUTCH ELM PROGRAM In a memorandum fiom Conamity Development Director Pauley he explained the need to cut back on the Dutch Elm program. It is his opinion that subsidy alternative Option R is the most reasonable and fair. It reads as follows: Provide a subsidy of 2/3 cost of removal up to a maximum of $50/tree. This alternative would result in City costs of slightly over $8,000 for 200 trees. This option is provided as the maximum of $50/tree is considered to be a reasonable subsidy for an average removal cost of $117/tree. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder- man Haag, to adopt Option E as stated above and waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 6025 entitled Resolution Establishing 1977 Dutch Elm Sub- sidy Program. Motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDRRATION OF HUD 701 GRANT, REVISED WORK PROGRAM The BUD 701 Grant Program was awarded to Hutchinson, but it is requested that the study be revised as the amount must be reduced by 152. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Haag, seconded by Alderman Westlund, to approve the revision of the HUD 701 Grant and enter into contract with the Minnesota State Planning Agency and waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 6020 entitled A Resolution Authorizing the Filing of a Revised Work Program for a 701 Planning Grant and Entering into a Contract with the Minnesota State Planning Agency.

Alderman Haag expressed regrets that the financial situation of the park- ing revenue and expenses do not permit approval of such a request. Mr. Doug Flaa asked if it would be possible for the merchants to rent a meter(s) for a certain period of time and put a meter bag over the head for free parking. Mayor Black responded that it had never been done before, but he thought the Council would be agreeable to such a plan and determine a fee if the businessmen were interested.

Also, the maximum amount of years of service eligible for benefits was raised from 30 to 40 years. They would like to request the approval of the Council for these changes In the Hutchinson Fire Department Relief Association. Mayor Black asked if funds are available to support the requested changes. Mr. Bluhm responded that they are considering having an Actuarial Report prepared inasmuch as it is required to make a change in the pension. This report costs $200 and would have to be approved by the City Council. Mayor Black remarked that if there aren't sufficient funds, the City might have to levy more funds. He would prefer to see the actuarial survey first to make sure that the funds are available for the next few years before approval is given. Aldermen Haag and R. Peterson agreed that if the survey indicates funds are available, the Council will grant approval. Mr. Bluhm pointed out that the increase from 30 to 40 years requires State Legislature approval as well as City Council approval. Mayor Black instructed the Hutchinson Fire Department representatives for the Relief Association to advise the meeting on Wednesday evening that -9- Council Minutes September 27, 1977 the City Council would be favorable to the change on the relief pen- sion after the Actuarial Report has been received.

(b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR Mayor Black brought attention to a letter received from several mer- chants complaining about the condition of the property and building formerly owned by Glenn Getzke. He instructed City Attorney Schantzen to contact the owner to take care of cleaning up the property. The meeting date for the League of Minnesota Cities has been changed to October 26, 1977. Mayor Black was hopeful that some of the Council members will be able to attend. Mayor Black read a letter received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and signed by Thomas T. Feeney, Area Director. He commented that the Aaron Wendt property acquisition needs to be con- summated in the near future. City Attorney Schantzen will work on this matter. Since bids for a 1978 police car vehicle were received this afternoon, Mayor Black asked if any recommendation was being made to the Council.

Since Mrs. Thompson is confined to a wheelchair, she had talked to Mayor Black previously about this matter and asked that it be in- cluded in the 1978 budget. Mayor Black commented on the previous conversation he had had with Mrs. Thompson and gave a brief report on what the City Council had discussed on this issue. City Engineer Priebe determined that the cost for curb cuts from First Avenue North up to First National Bank would be about $6,000. Since there were no funds available to cover this expense, it was decided to put the item into the 1978 improvement project.

Mr. Rosenow and I met with a representative Of the group to ash specifically what their concerns were and in our opinion there seems to be a misunderstanding on the part of these citizens regarding Medicare reimbursement. The matter was referred to the hospital governing board. The following is abstracted from the board minutes regarding the issue. "Ambulance petition was presented and discussed at length. It was indicated that the only income to this hospital was from patient revenue, and that all patients should pay for services received. It was also discussed that as a Medicare participating hospital this could riot be done under the "equal charges for all clause". There was a motion by Natwick seconded by Mullan to inform the City Council of the discussion and refer the ambulance petition to them for their action and decision. Motiop passed." The senior citizen representative was informed of the decision of the hospital governing board but did not appear satisfied that a preferred rate could not be given them. fie asked on behalf of the seniors that the matter be referred to the City Council for your decision. I hope the information provided you is adequate should you have further questions feel free to contact me. cerely, 01 PhilijV G.

The following persons were present: Rollie Jensen, Ward Haugen, Lyle Block, Ralph Westlund, Ron McGraw and Ralph Neumann. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 AM. The minutes of the August 17, 1977 meting were approved. Motion Ron McGraw, Second by Ralph Westlund, Motion Passed. The contract with Hutchinson School District N 423 is expected to be on the School Board meeting agenda on September 27, 1977. The contract has been re -written to include insurance costs. Ralph Neumann reported that 51 signs (advertising) have been sold to date. The budget was briefly discussed and it was noted that the 1978 City budget has not been finalized yet. The Plexiglas and extra sections for the rink boards will be here by the end of the week. The Ice Mat will be laid out on Sept 24 and Sept 25. Ralph Neumann reported that because of pressing duties at the Arena, he did not attend the Arena Managers Seminar.. Rollie Jensen reported the the Stage Lighting unit is stili available at Northland Arena. New cost for this unite was $17,000.00. Rollie felt we could purchase it for under $5,000.00. Rollie is to contact Curt Bradford and see if he can find a sponsor to purchase the unit for the Arena. The grand opening is still planned for Sunday, October 30, 1977. Curt Bradford is coordinating the activities with Ralph Neumann. The Legion will present a Flag to the Arena and the St. Paul Figure Skating Club will- put on a presentation. Discussion was held on the Hutchinson Hockey Association use of the Arena. The Hockey Association will use an estimated 380 hours of ice from November 1, 1977 through March 17, 1978. They will pay $3,500.00 in registration fees and $1,000.00 in game fees to the Arena. They will also provide all the Concession stand help and Ticket Sales help at the Arena at an est- imated $5,000.00 Value. This totals $9,500.00 for the 380 hours of use. This amounts to $25.60 per hour rental. Railing will be installed above the Office and Concession Stand aaea and also above the ice resurfacer door in the near future. The next meeting will be held on October 12, 1977 at 7:00 AM at the Arena. Motion by Lyle Block , Second by Bard Haugen to Adjourn. Motion Passed. Res ectfully Submitt+ted, Lyle A.

The Community Education Office offers a seminar called Management and Supervision which can be arranged as an in-service training workshop in approximately three-hour segments, with a total of six to nine hours of training time. Through contacts with the Community Education Office, I am aware that this training has been conducted successfully and has been well received by several area businesses and industries. The instructors gear the presentations to the needs of the participants, after determining these needs through meeting with administrative personnel. They prefer that there be a minimum of 10 to 15 participants in the workshops. It is my feeling that City department heads, supervisors, and certain other employees would benefit from a seminar which would deal with the areas of communication, motivation, training and discipline, and team building. The City organization as a whole would derive benefit from the more effective use of human resources which should result from this training. The cost to the City for such an in-service workshop would be $100 for six hours, or $130 for 9 hours (the partial cost of time for two HAVT1 Instructors --balance is paid by funding which the school receives). Similar workshops offered through the Government Training Service cost approximately $10 per hour per participant, in addition to requiring travel to a training location. If the City Council approves such an in-service training seminar, we would try to arrange as convenient a'time as possible, perhaps early winter, with 2 or 3 late afternoon meetings. If this is approved, I request that it be done with the recommendation that all supervisory personnel who can possibly attend be expected to do so and that any other interested employees be encouraged to attend. In this way, there should be at least 15 employees participating. Respectfully Submitted, .•. 5 Attachment: Community Education Course Description: Management and Supervision 9- 8.

It is noted that she was not recommended for an increase after her six-month probationary period. During the past several months she has made good progress and has assumed additional secretarial duties in the areas of planning and zoning, downtown development, and City Council matters. She now also has primary responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the offset copy machine. Therefore, it would seem that a one-step increase at this time is warranted, and it is hereby recommended. 9- C' (612) 879-2311 CITY OF HUTCH/NSCN 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 DATE: October 7, 1977 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Gary D. Plotz, Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Assembly of Land Parcels for Site Acquisition The largest dollar portion of the Community Development Grant has not been committed, specifically funds for acquisition. To accomplish the acquisitions or commitments (options) before December 31, 1977, it was suggested at the Downtown Advisory Committee meeting that the City obtain the assistance of one of the local realtors on the basis of an hourly rate for such services. Clarence Simonowicz has subsequently informed me that this approach has been effectively used in other communities within Minnesota. Furthermore, Clarence has informed me that the hourly rate'payment could be funded out of the Community Development Grant - Administration. The Housing Authority discussed the idea Thursday noon, October 6. The Housing Authority unanimously endorsed the concept. In addition, the Housing Authority wishes to provide direction on investigation of specific sites. See attachment. It is noted that the Community Development Advisory Committee is receiving a memorandum on this matter. Clarence is preparing a guideline for the selection of a realtor. This will be distributed at the Tuesday evening meeting of the Council. 9—ac.

The study will be performed for the Federal Insurance Administration by Howard, Reedles, Tammen & 8ergendoff, 6750 France Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435. The purpose of this study is to examine and evaluate the flood hazard areas in the community which are developed or which are likely to be developed and to determine flood elevations for those areas. Flood elevations will be used by the community to carry out the flood plain management objectives of the National Flood Insurance Program. They will also be used as the basis for determining the appropriate flood insurance premium rates applicable for new buildings and their contents, as well as determining the rates to be used for the second layer of insurance on existing buildings and contents. This announcement is intended to notify all interested persons of the commencement of this study so that they may have an opportunity to bring any relevant facts and technical data concerning local flood hazards to the attention of the Federal Insurance Administration for consideration in the course of this study. Such information should be furnished to Marlow V. Priebe, the Director of Public Works for Hutchinson, for forwarding to FIA. Dear Moor and webers of the couaoil: P 5G7ay '' QQ��Oi(CC�T i9T7 CO +�wIONW v FOR YOUR I�TION September 24, 1977 It has been brought to our attention that city is considering enclosing the open hangars at the Municipal Airport. Bach of us is currently renting, one of the opera .hangars now. W* are not in favor of the enclosure *f c.these hangars. The protection offered by an open hangar is adequate, for our needs. 7he w&ra expense, of an enclosed hanger becomes an umianted burden on many pleasure or wall business pilots. If there to demand for additional closed hangar space, we suggest you consider the option of buildina now haimars. Sincerely, goa J+wss Hamilton Hutchinson, Mh s Hot inson, Ma Roger Mated Hutchinson, ft )11 league of minnesota cities September 26, 1977 FOR YOUR INFORMATION TO: Mayors and Managers or Clerks in all member cities One of the most important purposes of the League is to serve as a vehicle through which city officials throughout the state can define their mutual Problems and develop positive policies and proposals for their solution. This fall, League study committees will be formed to begin that process again. Encouraging member participation is my major goal for this year, and Participation is nowhere more vital than in the study committee process. Developing legislative policy has to be a broadly --based enterprise if the result is to represent the best interests of all cities. I urge your city to consider participation in one or more committees. It is important to emphasize that membership on the study committees is open to any and all interested city officials. While we of course welcome those who have special expertise in a subject area, we also feel strongly that your interest and your experience in local government are more than sufficient credentials for committee membership. The committees will begin meeting in November and typically will hold five meetings before March, 1978. As a member of past committees, I can attest that they are both interesting and stimulating. ,Members work. with the League staff including lobbyists in developing proposals and also call on the resources and expertise of other organizations or per- sons that are knowledgeable in public policy. It's also stimulating to trade ideas with city officials from throughout the state. A list of the committees proposed for 1977 - 1979 is enclosed. If you are interested in serving on any of these committees, or if you would like to recommend a colleague for appointment, please send me a note at the League office. I expect to make appointments to the committees in October, so it would be helpful to have your suggestions within the next three weeks. The committees are open, too, for your ideas and suggestions for study topics. If there is a topic you believe warrants study, please notify me or the League staff. I hope you will .join us in providing your personal support to build a vital and effective legislative program.

The minutes were approved as mailed. Due to the absence of the treasurer, the treasurer's report was deferred until the next meeting. The director's report was presented: A reference workshop was held last month for staff of the larger libraries. All branch librarians will take turns spending a day working at the headquarters library in the near future. Kathy Matson attended a workshop at Minneapolis Public Library on how to take surveys. This information will be available to any interested library. Clippings from the news media from our three counties were passed around. Three new stops in McLeod County have been added to the bookmobile. The bills were presented for payment. A correction was noted on Purchase Order (September 1977) No. 24: it should be Nora A. Fricke. Mr. Fostervold moved, second by Mrs. Reckdahl, that the bills be paid. Carried. Committee Reports: The building the New London Branch Library is housed in is slated for removal and a new federally -funded complex will be built in that location. Mrs. Matson has been contacted by the Region 6E Development Commission and has given them a list of specifications for branch library buildings. Communications: a. Public Library Newsletter was passed around. ib. A communication regarding Federal Aid Legislation was distributed to members. A copy is attached. c. All requirements for our participation in FY1978 state and federal funding have been met. d. MLA will be held September 21-23. Three staff members are planning to attend. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: a. Mrs. Matson toured the prospective building for the Brownton branch with Mrs. Hochsprung and thought it would make a very good library. The city of Brownton is ready to undertake the financial commitment. Mrs. Matson has also received several phone calls from the city clerk at Silver Lake. He stated that community is very interested in a branch but no written confirmation of this has been received. Silver Lake has applied for state/federal funds for a small municipal building. It was the recommendation of Mrs. Matson that we establish a branch at Brownton and send a statement to Silver Lake that we would consider establishing a branch there in the future, possibly 1979 or 1980. Motion by Mr. Sanders, second by Mrs. Hochsprung, that we establish a branch library at Brownton. Motion carried. Mr. Bergstrom moved that we send a favorable answer to Silver Lake on their request for a branch library but with no time commitment. Mr. Postervold seconded it, carried. Mr. Postervold moved that the director is authorized to ask for bids for shelving at the Brownton branch. Mrs. Buchanan seconded it. Carried. b. Staff retirement policy: Because of the pro-rata annuity clause under PERA (where employees of less than 10 years but more than three years would not be covered because of our present staff ret1rement policy), it was felt that if in the future we hired someone who would come under this, we would explain that they would not be eligible for this PERA benefit. Mrs. Kleberg moved, second by Mrs. Reckdahl that we adopt the following retirement policy: No employee is to be retained on a half- time or more basis after the year they reach the age of 65. Such employees may be retained on a strictly part-time basis with no more than 20 hours per week and with an annual writte. recommendation by their immediate supervisor and with the approval of the director. Carried c. Law Library -- deferred until next meeting d. Insurance Committee: Mrs. Thompson appointed Miss Swanson, Mr. Christiansen, and Mrs. Gandrud to this committee. They will select their own chairperson. It is hoped they will be able to give a full report on insurance coverage by the January or February meeting. e. Letter regarding special levy deferred to next meeting. NEW BUSINESS: a. We have had a reciprocal agreement with Chippewa County. We have now received a letter from Western Plains Library System (Chippewa County is now part of this system) that they would like a reciprocal agreement with us and that we exclude the audio-visual clause from the current agreement. Effective date will be October 1, 1977. Mr. Sanders moved, second by Mrs. Hochsprung, that the president and secretary sign the agreement with WPLS. Carried. A copy of this agreement is attached. b. Mrs. Matson stated that the library has been approached by a local artist who would like to present a program entitied,"America, This Is Your Life!" in libraries in two or three regional system in southwestern Minnesota. Grants are available from Southwest Minnesota Arts Council or the State Arts Council. Mrs. Matson attended a meeting of SMAHC and feels this is the place to apply. The total project would be about 35 performances and the artist has done considerable research and shows slides and sings and plays the guitar. The SMAHC grant is a matching grant but our share could be partially in-kind (using staff time, building use, etc.). Total anticipated cost is about $4,000.00. Mrs. Reckdahl moved, second by Miss Swanson, that we submit an application for this project to SMAHC. Carried. c. Tires for Bookmobile #1: The present tires have approximately 50,000 miles. Prices for new tires were ob+,ained from four places in the Willmar area and a copy of these quota- tions is a attached. If we obtained new tires, $500.00 would be taken from reserve and the balance of $260.00 would come from the bookmobile fund. Mr. Lund moved, second by Mrs. Kleberg, that we purchase four Michelin 900 x 20 tires from Shorty's 66 of Willmar for the total price of $760.00 (includes tires, tubes, labor, and trade-in). Carried. d. Form letter regarding absentee trustees: the board in the past implemented the policy that if a board member has three consecutive unexcused absences, the position will become vacant. Mr. Sneer's position on the board is now vacant under this Policy. A copy of the letter sent to the county commissioners of McLeod County and Mr. Sneer is attached. Motion by Mrs. Reckdahl and second by Mr. Lund that this letter be sent. Motion carried. Items #d and #e under new business were deferred until the next meeting. Meeting adjourned.
