-3-
Council Minutes
May 23, 1978
Mr. Michael McCue, Manager of the Minnesota -Wisconsin Truck Lines, appeared
before the Council and objected to a recent change in freight carrier for the
Municipal Liquor Store. His company has hauled freight for the past three
years, and he felt that the difference in the rates between Minnesota -Wiscon-
sin and Sprengeler was more than offset by the revenue and taxes paid to the
City by his company and local employees.
Alderman Westlund pointed out that the difference in rates of $1.30 compared
to $1.76 per 100 pounds amounts to approximately a $1,200 savings for the City.

ing merchandise.
It was the consensus of the Council to support the decision of Ralph Neumann,
Store Manager, to change freight carriers in view of the savings realized.

working with Travel Host Motor Inn, Inc. on a proposed 60 -unit motel complex
to be located along Highways 7 and 22 West, east of the Chalet Supper Club.
Following brief comments, Mr. Fay presented Mr. John Klinkhammer of Travel
Host. A drawing of the proposed motel was presented to the Council, which
showed an enclosed swimming pool, dining area to seat 275 persons, and a
lounge to accommodate 150 persons. The room rates would be in the range of
$18.90 for a single room with one bed and $21.90 for two people with one bed.

from this firm gave a slide presentation of the building designs used, which

recipient defaulted, the property would go to the lending institution.

(n) CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE SPECIFICATIONS FOR HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM AT
HOSPITAL AND ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
Administrator Philip Graves reported the hospital has had a problem with ex-
cessive heat in the boiler room. The architectural firm of Horty, Elving &
Associates was hired to determine a mechanical modification of cooling. They
have presented a new technique of heat recovery, and it will cost approxi-
mately $25,000 for the project. The specifications for the heat recovery
system have been drawn up, and the Hospital Board would like permission to
advertise for bids.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund to approve the specifi-
cations and set the letting date as specified by the Hospital Board. Seconded
by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.
(o) CONSIDERATION OF EXPANSION OF TWO PARKING LOTS AT THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
AT ESTIMATED COST OF $15,000
There is a need to expand the two employee parking lots at the Hospital.
It is the request of the Hospital Board for the City Council to include this
expansion work in the 1978 improvement -plan design.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe commented that the parking lot ex-
pansion could possibly be funded through this bonding program, but due to in-
flation it appears the margin allowed for this project had been absorbed. Since
the bonding amount has not been set for the 1978 projects, it might be possible
to add the cost of the two parking lots onto this figure.
Mayor Black instructed City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe to try to
work the parking lot expansion costs into the 1978 construction projects pre-
viously approved. If this is not possible, to fit it into another program.
In the event no solution is found by July 1, the matter will be reconsidered.
It was moved by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman B. Peterson, to have

feasible. Motion unanimously carried.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Request for handicap parking
I have in my possession a letter from the Bethlehem United
Methodist Church requesting two parking spots for the handicapped on
the north side of Miller Avenue.
I have reviewed the traffic situation in that area and can
foresee no problems which may arise from this request.
I therefore recommend that the Council approve their request
for the handicap parking places.
It should be made clear, however, to the church trustees that
these handicap parking spaces are to be limited only to vehicles which are
authorized to park in the handicap places. Should vehicles which are not
so marked be parked in those spaces they may be subject to being issued
citations by officers on patrol.

The Trustees of Bethlehem United Methodist Church request
that two parking spots for handicapped persons be reserved
directly south of the Church (on the north side of Miller Avenue)
immediately west of the Church's Circle Drive.
The reason for this request is that this is close to the

SPECIAL MEETING -DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Tuesday, June 13, 1978
1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 12:00 (noon) by Chairman Quade with the
following members being present: Steve Richards, Don Glas, Bob Stearns,
Jay Alrick, Tom O'Connell, Don Abbott, Dennis Hukriede, Tom Savage, and
Lloyd Torgrimson in addition to Chairman Skip Quade. Also present were Mayor
Black, Administrative Assistant Gary Plotz, Consultant Clarence Simonowicz,
Developer Al Albert, B. J. Smiley, Jean Lerberg and Eugene (Bud) Daggett.
2. Chairman Quade opened the meeting and turned the discussion over to Clarence
Simonowicz. Clarence Simonowicz distributed a handout on tax increment financing
for the different developments proposed within Hutchinson. The elderly highrise
appeared to be extremely beneficial from an economic standpoint. Clarence
expressed that he personnally was in favor of stressing retail development to
the West of Main Street, in the area of the "Old" Armory, behind Citizens Bank
building. Jay Alrick felt Library Square Park would hinder customers going
across to businesses on the north side of Washington Avenue if this were developed
as suggested by the downtown development proposals.
Chairman Quade pointed out what the City is looking for through the development
downtown is additional businesses and more parking. He stated he preferred
Proposal "A" which included development on both sides of Main Street (namely
the former S & L Building and behind Citizens Bank).
After further discussion, Bob Stearns made the motion to recommend to City Council
that the Downtown Development Committee preferred Proposal "'A" and wished to submit
the proposal to City Council for further action. Don Abbott seconded the motion
and it carried unanimously.
In compliance with the original agreement signed, Mr. Albert stated the next step
would be to enter into a site agreement and designate the A & P Group as the
developer.
Mr. Albert reported on a meeting he and Mr. Daggett had with Winslow Chamberlain,
owner of four Holiday Inn Motels. He pointed out Mr. Chamberlain's first concern
was whether they could get together enough land for a 100 unit motel, with recreation
room, pool, dining room and meeting room. Mr. Chamberlain did feel Hutchinson
could support a two story motel of this size. Mr. Albert stated Mr. Chamberlain
would be in Hutchinson on June 21st to meet with the people and look over the
City. Bud Daggett elaborated on the meeting with Mr. Chamberlain and expressed
he felt the motel would be a great asset to the community.
After further discussion, Jay Alrick made the motion to recommend to the City Council
that the Downtown Development Committee supported the building of a Holiday Inn in
the downtown area being that it is in keeping with the long range plan for downtown.
Steve Richards seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
3. There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time, the
meeting was adjourned at 1:15 P.M.

MEMORANDUM
Mayor and City Council
Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: McLeod C.I.U.
This letter is to confirm my support for the McLeod County
Criminal Investigation Unit and to encourage the Council to continue
its financial assistance.
The unit has been a success on a county wide basis which
has benefited our department in many ways. By providing professional
investigative resources to surrounding communities they assist us in
our efforts within the city of Hutchinson.
Although it is true that we have not needed their physical
help as much as other agencies, nevertheless the benefits to us are
real.
To withdraw support at this time would be to abandon a com-
mittment to a worthwhile organization.
As you know, the county has made a tentative agreement to
absorb the unit into the county system after the six month interim
period expires. The thing that concerns me the most is the county's
unwillingness to fully support the unit's costs for the interim period
despite the fact that they will receive the total amount of equipment,
vehicles, radios, etc.
Despite this fact I feel that we should support the unit for
the final six months in cooperation with the other cities in McLeod
County.
I plan to be at the next meeting to answer any questions you
may have.

I have reviewed the bids and all equipment being bid meets specifications. I
recommend awarding contract to purchase the Vacuum Machine from General Motors
Corp. for $55,955.00, and the Jet Machine from Freeway Ford for $24,997.00.
The original estimate of cost for 1977 model single machine was $55,000.00. The
present cost for such machine would be $65,000.00, which is considered a 1979
model. The original equipment did not include a sweeper attachment. The vacuum
machine, as specified, has a sweeper attachment, cost of which is $9,000.00.
Our present sweeper, a 1975 model, was purchased for $33,000.00, and present
cost for same is $43,000.00. According to information from other cities that
have this type of vacuum machine, we can expect to double the life of our
present sweeper. All members of the Sewer, Street and Park Department, that
would have use of these two pieces of equipment, have approved of same. It is
our opinion that the purchase of the two machines, in lieu of the single machine,
will provide us with the flexibility to do a better job, as well as having an
overall savings for the City.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON

SUBJECT: _ Establishing Uniform_ Penalty for Delinquent Accounts,._
Including Carrying Charge on Accounts Certified
Attached is a copy of the January 9, 1973 City Council minutes relating to
the policy and procedures in the disposition of delinquent accounts. n
Please note policy No. 2 regarding the authorization to establish a penalty.
To the best -of staff knowledge this procedure was never implemented.
After consultation with the City Attorney, it is a joint recommendation of
Marlow Priebe and me that the following policy be considered for approval:'
"If not paid BY the: 32nd of the month $1.00 or 52 penalty
(whichever is greater)"
Please note that this is the same policy the Utilities Commission (see attached)
has on their billing statement. The computer could likewise type this on our
statement.
In addition to the initial penalty charge, it is recommended that a carrying
charge of 1/2% per month (6% per year), after 30 days, be charged to those that
require certification in October. Since there are only a few of these, it is
felt this could be done manually.

On motion by Alderman Linder, second by Alderman Alrick, snow removal permits
were approved for Virgil Krsiean, H. Juul, E. Miller, Curtis Paulsen, Roger
Henke, Carl Rickeman, Edwin Karg.
Discussion of the need for a building official included Administrative Assis-
tants report that he had called the State offices and had been informed that a
provisional appointment might be made pending appointee's certification. He
advised the Council that certified people are not yet available since the require-
ment for certification is so new. The Clerk was directed to advertise for a
qualified person requesting that an application and resume be submitted for
Council's review.
Alderman Westlund brought up the question of redistricting the county.
Alderman Black stated that a meeting with the County Board on this subject had
d been requested and suggested that if something is not heard from them soon, it
- would be appropriate to make another request for a meeting in the first couple
a of weeks in February.
Alderman Black introduced the subject of procedures as recommended by Administra-
tive Assistant Mealey for disposition of water billing deliquesces and shut -offs.
After due deliberation, Alderman Black moved that the following procedures be
followed:
1. Statement to be sent following one quarter -year use.
oe
2. Notice of penalty to be sent to all accounts unpaid by the" of the month.
3. After the first of the next month, all unpaid accounts will be not fied
to appear at the next regular council meeting for hea-!9-
4. Council s a eterm ne w e er or not the service should be discontinued
and makes an order to that effect.
S. The Water Utility personnel effect the discontinuance of service when so
ordered.
6. Cost of effecting the turn-off shall be charged to the account, including
necessary cost of locating or installing shut-off valve.
7. In the event that service is to a rented building, notice shall be sent to
owner as well as account holder.
If the question is one of account deposit, similar procedures shall be
followed so that the owner of account holder, or both, are given opportunity
for hearing before service is discontinued.
9.' These procedures shall be effective January 1, 1973.
Alderman Westlund seconded the motion. Vote having been taken, all members
voted "aye," "nays" there were none. The motion was declared carried.
There being no further business to come before the council, the meeting was
adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

RE: POLICE PATROL OFFICER
In reference to the communication from W. G. Miskoff, Secretary
of -the Police Civil Service Commission:
Robert Ringstrom ranked Number 1 on the Civil Service Eligibility
Roster which was established in February of this year. He found
it necessary to decline the appointment at that time because he
had not yet completed his college degree work at Mankato; therefore
the Number 2 candidate was appointed at that time.
It is now necessary, due to the retirement next month of Officer
Howard Beck, to name a replacement on the police force. Since
Mr. Ringstrom is now available, I concur with the recommendation
of the Police Civil Service Commission.

Dear Mr. Klockmann:
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
In a meeting, May 9, 1978, with you, Mr. Elden Willard, and myself, we discussed
your building and property on Erie Street. During this meeting, a request was
made to you to give the City a schedule that would be workable for you to clean
up and remove the building. Also, at that time I requested you make the
property safe by closing the building and removing the car from blocks.
I indicated at that meeting that I would expect to see the area cleaned up
outside, and the area inside secured and generally cleaned and combustibles
removed by June 10, 1978. At that time, I also mentioned that if the problem
was not taken care of, we would inspect the building and take necessary action.
On June 12, 1978, accompanied by Mr. Homer Pittman, Building Inspector, we
inspected the building and premises. From May 9th, to the present, it appears
that nothing has been done to improve the area. In fact, I feel it has become
more of a problem, with the door completely removed from the West end, windows
still broken or missing, and the wood, paper, and old clothing not yet removed
or piled in any safe manner. Pictures taken May 9, 1978 and again on June 12,
1978 will bear this out.

On behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors of A`AVA, I commend

Safety Committee
The City Safety Committee met on May 26, 1978 at 3:30 P.M. at City Hall.
Members present were George Field, Earl Alsleben, Cal Rice, Clyde Drahos,
Jim Brodd, Donald Vorbeck, and Janell Swanson.
The meeting was called to order by George Field:
1. Suggestion boxes were opened and 8-10 suggestions were read by all
present. Followup answers will come out in the newsletter with the
next paycheck.
2. George Field reported on a meeting attended by various department
heads at which the safety policy was discussed, and how it should be
interpreted for their men respectively.
3. Accident reports were to be reviewed though none were reported since
the April 13 meeting.
4. The subject of safety glasses was discussed at a department heads
meeting last week and it was decided to bring a request to the
City Council for partial or full funding for city employees, due
to an insurance company recommendation that employees wear them.
A meeting was also held to enhance safety awareness for all persons
covered under our Workman's Compensation policy. This meeting in-
cluded persons representing Hutchinson Utilities, Burns Manor,
Hutchirs on Community Hospital and the City of Hutchinson.
5. George Field gave an update on the city safety program. In the
past presentations have been given by state representatives but
due to some bad reports on field presentations in other towns these
programs will no longer be available, so our safety programs will
be presented by local people.
6. Noise levels have been tested at the street garage and are posted
there for the various pieces of machinery. A clarification of the
posted time limits was requested. As interpreted by the safety
committee, the posted time limits are the longest total time one
can use that piece of equipment in an eight hour shift.
7. George Field reported that response has been good in the reading
of the safety manual and signed response to that effect.
8. The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 P.M.

M REC�v� ti
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I enjoyed the brief conversation we had on May 8 concerning
cable television service in Hutchinson, Minnesota. I
would like to emphasize, in writing, our sincere interest
in providing your city of Hutchinson with cable television
service.
As I stated to you by phone, we have contacted Communications
Systems, Inc. expressing an interest in purchasing equipment
which is presently installed in Hutchinson related to their
cable television effort. Directly after completing my
conversation with you, I contacted Mr. Hubertus Sarrazin of
Communications Systems, Inc. informing him of our continued
interest in Hutchinson and also informing him of this
correspondence which would be made directly to you.
Although Communications,Systems, Inc. has had a franchise
in Hutchinson for several years, only a very small portion
of the system was ever constructed.
My company owns and operates many systems both smaller
and much larger than the system which would be constructed
in Hutchinson. We sincerely feel we could provide an
excellent thriving service in your community which would
be both beneficial to the city of Hutchinson and also to
my company.
Possibly my showing an interest in Hutchinson will
generate some concern on behalf of Communications Systems,
Inc. and also instill some renewed interest by your
City Council and other Hutchinson residents. Regardless
what your decision would be as an individual, I am very
interested in promoting cable television. Anything I
can do to assist you in expediting the construction of
a workable system in Hutchinson, please feel free to ask.

Chamber Survey Results .. .
Economic Development Committee
Dave Doelger
The Economic Development Committee reports that of
the survey sent to 30 communities in Minnesota with popula-
tions close to ours, more than 65%, of the surveys were re-
turned. The major recommendations based on survey analysis:
1. Take care of existing industry and foster its expansion.
2. Concentrate recruiting efforts on smaller high quality
Minnesota based companies which will grow with the com-
munity.
3. Work with Ambassadors to establish a viable selling
team to make presentations to prospects. Also develop a
roup of experts which could be used as a resource by pros -
4. Advertising in periodicals should not be considered a
major source of prospects.
5. All growing communities have an industrial park. We
should make plans toward the time when our park will he
filled, gear ourselves for future expansion.
Retail Survey ...
in Willmert
During the month of April the Retail Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey of all retail busi-
ness in Hutchinson. Approximately 85% of those business own-
ers or managers approached responded
It was felt by many that the two most positive aspects of
retailing in Hutchinson are the diversity of goods and services
available and the fact that we are a retailing center and able
to draw from a large radius.
While there was a large number of positive points ex-
pressed their were many more concerns. The two expressed
most frequently were downtown parking and the slow progress
on the downtown development project.
Of those surveyed, an equal number felt the present busi-
ness community was adequate as those who felt it wasn't. Con-
cerning new business coming into the community, most felt we
need a major department store, more restaurants and addi-
tional manufacturing firms. An equal number felt that these
should either he expansions of local firms or new business
from outside our present community.
One of the questions asked concerned new development
for Hutchinson. A large percentage wanted new business lo-
cated in the downtown shopping area. The other area most
often mentioned was Highway Seven, both East and West.
Most were in favor of the downtown redevelopment project.
When asked if they were in favor of additional shopping for
Hutchinson almost an equal number were in favor of this as
those who were not.
Our last question concerned the Chamber of Commerce and
what members felt its function should be for the community.
The most often mentioned responses were to promote and co-
ordinate growth, keeping retailers informed and attracting
new industry and retail business to Hutchinson.
MACI Legislative Survey
Two months ago, MACI sent all Chamber of Commerce
a survey on the EVP's estimation of legislative affairs, es-
pecially during the last session. The following preliminar%
results were reported the first of May.
1. More active chamber legislatively this year ..78% 11% 11I/,
2. Interest by members in being more political . 80 4 12
3. Business climate over job climate ....... .. 40 20 36
4. More concern by legislators and citizens
over improving business climate ...........

A critique of how MACI (Minnesota Association of Cnm-
merce and Industry)) might better serve local chambers was
_. "Get out here in the 'boonies' and teach us flow to teach
our people to testify and lobby effectively." I don't really
consider Hutchinson 'the boonies', but your editor concurs
with the: sentiment.
Management Tips —
Help on Manageing Time
Steps to take to setup a time economics program:
s Set a goal to get three things completed in the morn-
ing; this provides a sense of accomplishment and stimulates
productivity the rest of the day.
• Exercise judgement in determining whether or not to
speak with people calling on the phone.
*Try to structure contact with co-workers on a ratio of
907 productive/107, social basis.
• Use a memo pad to request information/action when re-
viewing morning mail.
• Take the time to read carefully all material on which
action must be taken so details aren't overlooked. Scanning
of such material often makes rereading necesary, thus, is a
time -waster.
• Handle lengthy chores by making an "action" outline.
• Date and initial all correspondence and make notations
on actions taken on each letter, memo, report.
• Scan table of contents of publications; read only articles
of interest.
Key: Make efficient time managemedt a constant, con-
tinuing priolity goal. Basic: Handle each piece of paper only
once, if possible.
