cp05-23-1978 ct DATE U E92L1. o MAY 23, 1978 CITY OF HUTCHINSON ISSUE NO. 28 MOTOR INN - TWO DEVELOPERS INTERESTED Two developers are presently considering locating a Motor Inn type of facility in Hutchinson. The facility would include a swimming pool, restaurant, and meeting rooms. It is my understanding that the market for this type of facility would probably only allow for one such establishment. Both developers are discussing the possibility of industrial revenue financing. Jerry Hertel, our City bonding consultant, will be making a presentation on this type of financing tonight. Mr. Hertel, a representative from Juran & Moody, will be speaking on behalf of Travel Host. The site being proposed is on Highway 7 West in the area of the Chalet. The other developer is interested in locating on the cold storage building site, and a let- ter has been placed on your packet regarding their request. HRA BOARD - UPDATE ON STATUS OF ELDERLY SITE On Wednesday, May 17, I attended the HRA meeting and provided an update on the status of the acquisition of land for the elderly site and also activities of the Downtown Develop- ment Committee.

PROJECT 78-04 - SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that the two above- named projects were deferred until the City bond consultant had been con- tacted to determine if the bonding level can be increased this year. Juran & Moody gave the City an affirmative response. Mayor Black commented he had received several comments regarding Project 78-03 in the Shady Ridge Area. He referred to the project improvements schedule and pointed out that it calls for an early improvement of Shady Ridge'Road for curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. He questioned if this would not put a heavy burden on the people. He wondered if the City Council would agree not to proceed with permanent street improvements for a reasonable time or until requested by property owners once the storm sewer improvements have been completed. He stressed, however, that one City Council cannot bind future City Councils on a policy. Bob Carney - Sees no real need for the type of street pro - Shady Ridge posed for this area. Most of the people are not objecting to a storm sewer, but they do not want permanent streets. Inquired why -3- Council Minutes May 9, 1978 Shady Ridge Circle is not included in the plan. Asked how the storm sewer will be assessed. Don Glas - Remarked the street is inevitable. Residents Shady Ridge Road might want a street 10 to 15 years from now. The storm sewer is agreeable to him, but he can't go along with several assessments within a short period of time. Taxation is already high in the area. Dick McClure - He has lived on Shady Ridge Road for almost 30 Shady Ridge Road years. He feels many of the drainage problems have been created by the people themselves. Commented that curb and gutter would put a bur- den on the people. Questioned if the Shady Ridge Road would be moved over to the east when the storm sewer is put in. Commented on the last contractor hired by the City who put in the sanitary sewer in the Shady Ridge area. It was the consensus of the Council that they would not proceed with street improvements in the Shady Ridge Area for a reasonable period of time.

(e) CONSIDERATION OF LETTER CONCERNING TAXATION OF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING A letter and resolution were received from the Hutchinson Community Hospital Board of Directors indicating why the Medical Office Building should be under a tax-free status. They were recently informed by the McLeod County Assessor's Office that portions of the Medical Clinic under lease by physi- cians would be placed on the tax assessment rolls for the City of Hutchin- son. Mayor Black remarked that three years ago when the Medical Office Building was being considered,all the ramifications involved with it were discussed. It was pointed out at that time there was the possibility of taxation, and all parties concerned were aware of this probability. Inasmuch as the Med- ical Office Building produces revenue, there is no reason why it should not be taxed. The City pays taxes on all other City -owned properties which are revenue producing. Although the letter is addressed to the City Council, they have no authority over the area of real estate taxation. Therefore, no action is necessary on this matter.

All of the following motions were made contingent upon the City being able to acquire all the properties located in the selected site.

Geier, Secretary MINUTES AIRPORT COMMISSION APRIL 13, 1978 The Airport Commission meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. at City Hall. Members present were Chairman Doug McGraw, Randall Buboltz, Jim Hanson, John Miller, in addition to Administrative Assistant Plotz and Westly Hendrickson of TKDA. 1. Mr. Westly Hendrickson made a presentation of the draft report of the Hutch- inson Municipal Airport Study. 2. Discussion was given to holding a public hearing, but it was the consensus of the Commission to delay having a hearing until affected property owners have been contacted. 3. Initially it was decided to meet with Oliver Plath to discuss acquiring some of his property which adjoins the airport. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. MINUTES AIRPORT COMMISSION MAY 17, 1978 The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. Members present were Jim Hanson, Randy Buboltz, Doug Hedin. Also present were Dean Nelson, Airport Manager, and Gary D. Plotz, Administrative Assistant. 1. Airport Zoning Board City Attorney Buzz Schantzen provided a legal opinion that the City should start from the beginning and establish an Airport Zoning Board. The City Attorney re- ported that the State of Minnesota Airport Zoning staff concurs with this action. It is also noted that the State has delayed both of the City's grants for in- strument approach equipment until the Board is established. The Airport Commission reviewed the information "Procedure for Establishing An Airport Zoning Board," and it was a unanimous consensus that City Council be re- quested to establish a Joint Airport Board at their next regular meeting, pur- suant to the City Attorney's opinion. At the next regular meeting of the Airport Commission, an agenda item will be to recommend to the Mayor individuals for the municipal appointments. 2. Improvements to Open Hangar The open hangar presently has no electricity or lights, and it was a request at a previous Airport Commission meeting to obtain an estimate. The estimate from Popp Electrical, Inc. in the amount of $678.95 was received and reviewed by the Airport Commission. The City Accountant also reviewed the estimate, and he felt that inasmuch as the $3,000 for the instrument approach will most likely not be spent in this calendar year, the budget could handle those improvements. After discussion, it was the unanimous consensus of the Airport Commission to proceed with the improvements. 3. Instruments - Wind Direction & Velocity Airport Commission members discussed the need for wind and velocity instruments for landing. It was reported that nearly every airport has such instruments, which cost approximately $100; however, the Hutchinson Airport does not. Doug Hedin offered to assemble and install a Heath Kit, which would be the least expensive method to obtain these instruments. It was the unanimous consensus of the Airport Commission to accept the offer of volunteer labor and have the City purchase the kit. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M. MINUTES HUTCHINSON PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday, April 18, 1978 1. CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Clint Tracy with the following members being present Paul Christen, Don Erickson, Bill Backen, Elsa Young and Dan Huntwork in addition to Chairman Tracy. Member absent was Bruce Peterson. Also present was Gary Plotz, Adminis- trative Assistant, Marlow Priebe, City Engineer/Director of Public Works, and Building Official Elden Willard. At this time Chairman Tracy welcomed the new Planning Commission member Dan Huntwork, who is replacing Tom Cone. Dan Huntwork chose to abstain from voting on the items regarding the public hearings at this first meeting because he was unfamiliar with the subject matter. 2. MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting on March 21, 1978 were approved as written on motion by Don Erickson and seconded by Elsa Young. Motion carried. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO UPGRADE THE HOME AT 272 -4th AVE. N.W., HUTCHINSON Administrative Assistant Plotz explained that Rev. Crouse, who had made application for the Conditional Use Permit, wished to withdraw the request. b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY CHUCK PEARSON Due to an error in typing of notices mailed to the surrounding property owners stated March 31, 1978 rather than 21st, therefore, no one was present to speak for or against the issue. City Attorney Schantzen stated we should rescind the action taken by Council regarding the variance for Chuck Pearson and rehold the hearing informing the surrounding property owners of the date. Marlow Priebe explained the request for expansion and stated the building is presently non -conforming. He recommended that requirements of the variance include the removal of the trailer presently on the East side of the building,. the clean-up of tires, pallets and other debris on the property and future storage of same be in the confines of a 100% opaque wall or fence, thus allowing full use of parking area on the premises. In a letter dated April 18, 1978 from Elden Willard, he recommended that Mr. Pearson be required to fullfill the requirement of his conditional use permit for his building on the East 84' of Lot 1, Block 19, North Half City of Hutchinson by removing the storage of materials in the East half of the building which is to be used for "off-street parking". On motion by Don Erickson, seconded by Paul Christen, the hearing was closed at 7:45 P.M. Motion carried. Don Erickson made the motion to approve the request for variance submitted by Chuck Pearson contingent upon satisfying the above mentioned recommendation. Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion carried. 7e Planning Commission Minutes April 18, 1978 -2- c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE FROM R-1 TO R-2 SUBMITTED BY JAMES MCCLURE Chairman Tracy opened the public hearing at 7:50 P.M. James McClure -Expressed a duplex would make better use of the 537 -4th Ave.SW land but this cannot be done unless it is re- zoned to R-2 District and the area South of it is already an R-2. Marlow Priebe mentioned the land is more than ample size according to the re- quirements in the Zoning Ordinance for a duplex in an R-2 District. On motion by Elsa Young, seconded by Don Erickson, the hearing was closed at 7:52 P.M. Motion carried. After discussion, the motion was made by Elsa Young to recommend approval of the zoning change.

Paul Gray -Reviewed and explained their plan for Hardees North Central Foods Systems Restaurant as well as the operating hours. Marlow Priebe pointed out that this street has-been vacated for the Water Carnival in previous years, therefore, some type of recommendation should be made relative to this matter. Unidentified Woman -Asked if there would be diagonal parking along • Highway #7 and if they are planning a recess of Highway #7 along here. Mr. Priebe replied they would not be changing Highway #7 and diagonal'parking would be along Glen Street. Alvin Ewald 71 -4th Ave. N.W. Paul Gray North Central Foods Systems -Asked if there would be any parking along High- way #7 because his car had been dented twice while parked along there. -Answered there would be no parking in front of Hardees along the highway. Marlow Priebe suggested getting together with the Highway Department and put signs restricting parking in front of Hardees, to which Mr. Gray expressed he would be in favor of doing. Mr. Gray also stated there would be a decorative fence along the property line to the East of Hardees. On motion by Paul Chri n and seconded by Elsa Young th earing was closed at 8:15 P.M. The motion carried. Planning Commission Minutes April 18, 1978 -3- After discussion, Don Erickson made the motion to recommend approval of the request for a conditional use permit along with a variance for the canopy of the Hardees Restaurant. Paul Christen seconded the motion and it carried. e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST TO VACATE EASEMENTS FOR ALBERT'S FIRST ADDITION The hearing was opened at 8:18 P.M. by Chairman Tracy. There being no one present wishing to be heard the hearing was closed at 8:19 P.M. on motion by Don Erickson and seconded by Paul Christen. Motion carried.

Paul Christen seconded the motion and it carried. 4. NEW BUSINESS a) DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE FISH AND PET SHOP AT 325 LYNN ROAD Chairman Tracy referred to a letter written by Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant, to Mr. Steve Barton dated March 29, 1978, and two letters dated April 4, 1978, on written by Elden Willard, Building Official and one by Gary Plotz.. Steve Barton stated he had attended the February Planning Commission meeting and he was told he could get a sign variance for the home at 41 -4th Avenue. Things changed and he contacted City Hall he would not be moving to this address but possibly to 325 Lynn Road instead. Mr. Barton felt the issue was the property and the sign was incidental. City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe pointed out that if the sign does not meet the requirements called for in a particular zone, they must cane before the Planning Commission. Mr. Barton noted the sign will be changed from the existing larger one to a sign two feet square in size. There is a restriction as to the amount of livable space used in a home for a home occupation stated Marlow Priebe. He felt the property should be inspected. Planning Commission Minutes -4- April 18, 1978 A sign in a residential area if visible on two sides can only be one foot square on each side, Marlow stated, and if visible only on one side then it could be two square feet, for example 2' x 11. Steve Barton commented he was doing most of the remodeling himself and had spent $120 and a building permit isn't needed unless the repairs and/or remodel- ing total $250 or more. He went on to say the pets he had were fish, a para- keet, doves and hamsters, so the neighbors should not have to worry about the smell. Mrs. Barton pointed out the neighbors had.been invited in to look the situation over. Alma Tews -Stated a pet shop should not be in a resi- 505-4th Ave. SW dential area, and she felt it would depreciate the value of the homes in the area. There is only parking on one side of the street and the bicycle traffic could be hazardous. Chairman Tracy reminded her there is control on home occupations and generally they do not generate that much extra traffic. Steve Barton didn't feel he was using more than 20-25% of his property for this Fish and Pet Shop hong' occupation. Marlow Priebe pointed out that it was 25% of the livable space which does not include a garage or basement, since most basements do not meet the housing code standards. He does not know if this home occoupation exceeds the allowable area without an inspection. Mr. Priebe felt the business as such could be a home occupation. Mr. Plotz stated if you get a sign permit in one area it is not transferable to another area. First, establish what zone or location is being considered, then establish if the home occupation is allowable. The general recommendation from the Planning Commission is to have staff investigate the situation further. b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY LARRY AND BARBARA SORENSEN Larry Sorensen explained his plans and Marlow Priebe stated for that zone, which is C-4, and his proposed use, a conditional use permit is needed. After discussion, on motion by Don Erickson, seconded by Bill Backen, it was recommended to set a public hearing for May 16, 1978. Motion unanimously carried. c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DEN MAR BUILDING SUBMITTED BY CURT BRADFORD Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant, explained this ream-st for a conditional Planning Commission Minutes -5- April 18, 1978 use permit and reviewed previous requests. Director of Public Works, Marlow Priebe felt limitations should be put on any further usage of the building, stating they could not convert any more apartments since parking is a serious consideration here. After discussion, Paul Christen made the motion to set the public hearing for May 16, 1978. Elsa Young seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. d) DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR ALL HOME OCCUPATION ACTIVITIES Marlow Priebe stated you can use up to 25% of the livable area, depending on the style of the unit, the basement can be considered livable space if it meets building code requirements. As it is now no permit of any kind is required if no sign is put up or substantial remodeling. By requiring a conditional use permit, there would be some control as to what is allowable. The stipulations that could be placed on the permit would be to have an inspection of the premises at least once a year and the home occupation would have no employees other than the owner of the home. Also, Marlow Priebe felt that by requiring a conditional use permit and holding a public hearing, the public would have the opportunity to voice their opinions before the fact not after. Mr. Plotz remarked there aren't that many calls for a home occupation and felt they could be handled. The Planning Commission suggested continuing discussion of this issue at the next regular meeting with a possible recommendation at that time. e) DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING ALL TRANSPORTABLE HOMES TO BE WITHIN MOBILE HOME PARKS Building Official Willard pointed out that they are changing the language from mobile homes to transportable homes. Therefore, he was asking the Commission if they felt the language of the Zoning Ordinance Book should be changed also or would they want transportable homes permitted in an R-2 District which is the way it reads now on page 55 of the Zoning Book. It could be controlled to some extent since all.homes have to be certified by the Uniform Building Code. f) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR CLARK'S. SECOND ADDITION SUBMITTED BY JOHN E. MILLER. Marlow Priebe explained the proposal and after discussion, Paul Christen made the motion to set the Public Hearing for May 16, 1978. Don Erickson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. 5. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to be discussed by the Planning Commission at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 P.M. MINUTES SPECIAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD Friday, May 5, 1978 1. Call to order The special meeting was called to order at 12:21 P.M. by Vice Chairman Russ Meade. The following members were present: Arlene Zimmerman, Mildred Nelson, Bruce Peterson and Leslie Smith in addition to Vice Chairman Meade. Members absent were Garey Knudsen, Rev. Ray Hinsch, Phyllis Hegrenes and Don Glas. Also present were Administrative Assistant Gary Plotz, Jean Lerberg from the HRA Board and Clarice Coston of the Chamber of Commerce. 2. New Business Administrative Assistant Plotz summarized what has transpired since the last meeting with the Community Development Advisory Board. At a joint meeting on March 23, 1978 it was decided to choose Site 12, the Historical Society Site, behind the National Tea Food Store. They were authorized to move ahead with the appraisals, using the guidelines specified by HUD, and have entered into an appraisal contract with C.R. Pelton and Associates. The appraisals cost $700 for the four parcels of property being considered for the elderly highrise. Jean Lerberg accompanied the gentleman from C.R. Pelton on the inspection of the homes. Clarence Simonowicz also submitted an appraisal which was distributed to each member present at the meeting.

O'Borsky, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Parking on Roberts Road After re-evaluating the parking situation at the area of Roberts Road and Kay Street I feel that the proposed change in the or- dinance is unnecessary. 01 The current ordinance, in my opinion, adequately covers the problem. All that is needed is to move the no parking sign east approximately 20 feet to more adequately allow view of the crosswalk. DMO/jma DATE: M `3y 15, 197E POLICE DEPARTMENT 14E.MORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: SUBJECT: Ordinance 557, no parking Several weeks ago I eras contacted by school bus drivers who stated that the pedestrian crosswalk to the west of Kay Street was a hazard be- cause vehicles parked there restricted the view of drivers. I looked at that particular problem and agreed with the bus drivers and asked the Safety Council to write a letter regarding this matter that they had also brought to my attention. I concur with their letter and strongly favor the adoption of Ordinance 557. EMO/ j ma JZ�on 6)ommun�Wospilaf /� . Kms. _- ��� •.�rq� May 22, 1978 Honorable Mayor D.J.

(612) 879-2311 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: _ _ May 16.. 1978 TO: Mayor and City Council: Ralph Neumann FROM: Alderman Ra.l-DhWestlund_____�______________ SUBJECT: Liguor Store Freight Approximately three years ago the liquor store started using Minnesota Wisconsin Truck Lines to haul its freight. Prior to that time, 'Earl Sprengeler had been hauling freight. At the time the change was made Minnesota Wisconsin's rate per pound was the same as Sprengeler. Since Minnesota Wisconsin owned real estate and had a number of employees living in town and was part of the community, I recommended we make the change to Min- nesota Wisconsin. At the time Ralph Neumann took over management, he again checked the rate per pound with Minnesota Wisconsin and Sprengeler. He found a considerable difference. Minnesota Wisconsin's rate is $1.76 per 100 pounds and Sprengeler's $1.30 per 100 pounds. Minnesota Wisconsin was contacted regarding the difference in rate, but they felt their rate was fair and could not be adjusted. Ralph Neumann contacted me, and I agreed this was a big difference and recommended we again have Sprengeler haul the freight. EXAMPLE: February Invoices: Minnesota Wisconsin - 22,872 lbs. @ $1.76/100 lb. = $406.25 (Some invoices were at the minimum rate of $13.80) March Invoices: Sprengeler - 19,372 lbs. @ $1.30/100 lb. = $251.91 April Invoices: Sprengeler - 19,835 lbs. @ $1.30/100 lb. = $257.97 Sprengeler makes one delivery a week and all merchandise can be checked and priced at one time. Minnesota Wisconsin makes delivery three or four times per week. This causes more confusion and work. Mike McCue, a representative of Minnesota Wisconsin, will attend the City Council meet- ing and plead his case. /ms Appendix V.

Adopted by the City Council this29th day of MaY , 1974. Thomas E. Mealey, City Clerk . D. J. Black, Mayor I would like to begin with an apology to the voters of the City of Iiutchinson. I ran for election last November not realizing that a changing business situation in my family would soon affect my position on the Hutchinson City Council. The recent purchase of a business by my family and some changes at least in the interpretation of the pertaining Minnesota state laws have resulted in conditions whereby I would have a legal conflict of interest if I continued to serve on the Hutchinson City Council. In order to protect the City of Hutchinson and my family from any problems should I continue, I am resigning my position as Alderman of the City of Hutchinson effective May 22, 1978. Serving on the Hutchinson City Council has been one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences I have ever had and I thank the people of Hutchinson for having given me that opportunity. 9-•e !R'- � J • 9-•e RESOLUTION NO. 6127 DECLARING OFFICE OF ALDERMAN VACANT BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: THAT a vacancy is hereby declared in the office of Alderman by means of resignation.

Plotz City Clerk DATE: May 16, 1978 TO: POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Dean M O' Borsky, Chief of Police - SUBJECT: Additional Police Reserve Officers Over the past year we have made numerous changes in our police department Reserve organization. We have instituted an in-service training program as well as developed a structure within the Reserve unit which assigns responsibility for coordination of the unit. I have also appointed Officer James Haasl as the Police Reserve Liaison Officer. With the expanded training and time demands, several members of the Reserve unit have requested that they be placed in inactive status which means that they would only be used for specific events such as the Water Carnival. Those individuals are Wes Asplin, Scott Johnson and Robert Bennington. I am therefore requesting that the following two men be appointed part-time employees for purposes of becoming reserve officers with our department. They have attended meetings for the past eight months and have taken part in in-service training programs as well as completing a ride along program.

HISTORY On April 11, 1978 Gary Miller made application for John E. Miller for preliminary and final plat for a parcel of property to be known as Clark's Second Addition. At a regular meeting on April 18, 1978, the Planning Commission set a public hearing for the next regular meeting on Tuesday, May'16, 1978. On May 16, 1978 during the public hearing Marlow Priebe, City Engineer/Director of Public Works, distributed among the Commission members a revised plat map showing the area to be dedicated for park land which had previously been approved by the Park and Recreation Board. Mr. John Miller was present at the hearing, however, he made no statement regarding the issue. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required application, plat maps and appropriate fee were submitted. 2. Notices were mailed to surrounding property owners and a public notice was published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, May 5, 1978. 3. In a memo dated May 12, 1978 Marlow V. Priebe, stated the proposed plat with Park land donation had been reviewed and approved by the Park and Recreation Board. Also the City Council approved project 78-03 which included storm sewer service for this area, Mr. Priebe pointed out. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission therefore recommends the approval of the preliminary and final plat for Clark's Second Addition with the land dedication to meet the requirements for parks and playground contribution.

This program has been ongoing for approximately three years and has, I believe, greatly increased the effectiveness of criminal investigation in McLeod County. The federal grant partially supporting this project is scheduled to end on July 1, 1978. The McLeod County Board has presently budgeted $10,000.00 for the remaining six months of 1978 to fund the Investigation Unit consisting of Larry Goga and Neal Alderson. Unfortunately, this sum is not sufficient to meet the expenses required by this investigation unit and it becomes necessary to request that each city make a contribution from its budget to fund this program. It is hoped that at the end of 1978 the investigation unit would be absorbed into the McLeod County Sheriff's Office and completely funded by McLeod County at that time. However, as I said, it is now necessary to seek additional funds for the remaining months of 1978. Unfortunately, I was unable to present this request last fall during your budgeting process for 1978, but I'm now asking that you consider contributing monies toward this unit. If the council feels it is necessary, I personally could meet with the council and explain the duties and responsibilities of the investigatory unit and some of the assistance it has provided to your city. My request from the Hutchinson City Council is a contribution of $3,000.00 to fund this investiaation unit the remainder of 1978. As I said, I'd be happy to explain some of the achievements of this unit and the help it has provided to all residents of the county and would be happy to appear at any regular scheduled council meeting for this purpose. I have contacted with this letter your local Chief of Police, Dean O'Borsky, so that he is aware of this, and I'm sure that he can answer "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER'S `/ Members of the Hutchinson City Council Page 2 May 4, 1978 many of the questions you may have concerning this investi- gation unit and the assistance it has provided. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Said Project will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City; (e) Company is currently engaged in the business of owning and operating motels. The Project to be financed by the Note is a 60 unit motel with a restaurant and a lounge and an enclosed swimming pool to be located in the City and consists of the acquisition of land and the construction of buildings and improvements thereon and the installation of equipment therein, and will result in the employment of additional persons to work within the new facilities; (f) The City has been advised by,representa- tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic feasibility of operating the Project would be signi- ficantly reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low bor- rowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hutchinson, Minnesota, as follows: 1. The Council hereby gives preliminary approval to the proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act (Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes), consisting of the acqui- sition, construction and equipping of facilities within the City pursuant to Company's specifications suitable for the operations described above and to a revenue agreement between the City and Company upon such terms and conditions with provisions for revision from time to time as necessary, so as to produce income and revenues sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the proposed Note in the total principal amount of approximately $1,425,000 to be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of said Project; and said revenue agreement may also provide for the entire interest of Company therein to be mortgaged to the purchaser of the Note; and the City hereby undertakes preliminarily to issue its Note in accordance with such terms and conditions; 2. On the basis of information available to this Council it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that said Project constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises en- gaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of Section 474.02 of the Act, that the availability of the financing under the Act and willingness of the City to furnish such financing will be a substantial inducement to Company to undertake the Project, and that the effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the development of economically sound in- dustry and commerce, to assist in the prevention of the emergence of blighted and marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemploy- ment, to help the City retain and improve its tax base and pro- vide the range of service and employment opportunities required by its population, to help prevent the movement of talented and educated persons out of the state and to areas within the State where their services may not be as effectively used, to promote more intensive development and use of land within the City and to eventually increase the City's tax base; 3. Said Project is hereby given preliminary approval by the City subject to the approval of the Project by the Com- missioner of Securities, and subject to final approval by this Council, Company, and the purchaser of the Note as to the ulti- mate details of the financing of the Project; 4. In accordance with Subdivision 7a of Section 474.01 Minnesota Statutes, the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized and directed to submit the proposal for the above described Project to the Commissioner of Securities, requesting his ap- proval, and other officers, employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized to provide the Commissioner with such preliminary information as he may require; 5. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the financing of the Project whether or not the Project is carried to completion and whether or not approved by the Commissioner will be paid by Company; 6. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, acting as bond counsel, is authorized to assist in the preparation and review of necessary documents relating to the Project, to consult with the City Attorney, Company and the purchaser of the Note as to the maturities, interest rates and other terms and provisions of the Note and as to the covenants and other provisions of the necessary documents and to sub- mit such documents to the Council for final approval; 7. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents pre- pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any municipal funds on the Project other than the revenues derived from the Project or otherwise granted to the City for this purpose. The Note shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability thereon. The holder of the Note shall never have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the outstanding principal on the Note or the interest thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against any property of the City. The Note shall recite in substance that the Note, including interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment thereof. The Note shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation; B. In anticipation of the approval by the Commissioner of Securities and the issuance of the Note to finance all or a portion of the Project, and in order that completion of the Project will not be unduly delayed when approved, Company is hereby authorized to make such expenditures and advances toward payment of that portion of the costs of the Project to be financed from the proceeds of the Note as Company con- siders necessary, including the use of interim, short-term financing, subject to reimbursement from the proceeds of the Note if and when delivered but otherwise without liability on the part of the City.

Our intent was to purchase a-syslem that would equip all five rooms in the unit. Recently the Coronary Care Committee met and refined, our equipment needs §9zewhat, and our recommendation to the Governing Board was to purchase three hardwire monitors and one telemetry unit. It is anticipated that this will meet our current needs and proviJe us flexibility in the system to expand should the demand be -there. The fati].owing motion was abstracted: "Motion by Joyce, seconded by Ewald, to request the City Council to accept the bid from Abbott Laboratory as modified in the amour�t,,ol $29,713. Motion passed." (see attached) Heat Recovery System We have had a considerable problem with the heat in our boiler room. Several months ago, we began to explore alternative ways of cooling the boiler room. An architectural firm was engaged to assist us with mechanical modification. We recently completed those specifications and found out that it is possible to "spot cool" our boiler room and recirculate the exhausted heat back into the building. The architect proposes that the project will cost approximately $25,000 and will pay for itself within five years because of the heat recovery capabilities of the system. The following motion was abstracted: "Motion by Joyce, seconded by Goebel, to request from the City Council permission to advertise for bids to install a heat recovery system as proposed by the architect. Motion passed." Parking Lots A couple of years ago we were requested by the City to modify our present off-street parking lots on Freemont Avenue. We also were considering expanding our South Employee Parking Lot, because of overcrowding and parking problems and requested assistance from Marlow Priebe, to plan these projects. Marlow indicated that the projects were worthwhile and should be undertaken and we should request the City Council to include these with the projects of 1978. The following motion was abstracted: "Motion by Goebel, seconded by Mullan, to request the City Council to include expansion of the two employee parking lots in 1978 improvement -plan design per Marlow Priebe, City Engineer. Motion passed." We thank you, in advance, for your consideration in these matters. If you have further questions regarding the affore mentioned items, please do not hesitate to request assistance.

This would be for a minimum of four months, for which time his salary would be fully funded from the program. We recommend approval of same. Mr. Brodd's work in Dutch Elm and Weed Control in the City requires him to be away from the Cemetery for too long a period of time. It is therefore recommended that Mr. Brodd be assigned on a regular basis after completing the above program, to the Park Department. I also request approval to assign an existing employee, if one is interested, to that position for a six month probationary period, afterwhich a permanent assignment would be made. In addition, we request approval of two summer employees to fill our void in the Park Department. This will allow us to cover vacation and National Guard committments. Full time replacement would not be considered until fall. In this manner, we will be able to keep within budget for salaries. Sincerely, CITY OF HUTCHINSON pa") ,P- �.,�:-k Marlow V.

Members absent were: D.J. Black, Don Glas, Tom Savage, Steve Richards, Becky Piehl, Dennis Hukriede, Jay Alrick, Bob Stearns, Don Abbott and Clarice Coston. Also present were Administra- tive Assistant Plotz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe, Clarence Simonowicz, the Consultant, and Jean Lerberg from the HRA Board. Chairman Quade opened the meeting by reviewing what had transpired at the last Downtown Development meeting on May 2, 1978 and stated the discussion today would be on the tax increment law and possible alternatives. Gary Plotz reported on the meeting he and Clarence Simonowicz had with the developer Mr. Albert and Mr. Smiley regarding the concept for downtown not being large enough. Theyinformed Mr. Albert that the Downtown Development Committee felt the proposal was fragmented and they wished to see a larger amount of retail in the plan. Mr. Albert appeared willing to come up with a different and larger proposal within 60 days. At the time of his last contact, Clarence Simonowicz stated Mr. Albert indicated he had an architect and had made additional contacts with retail people. Al Albert stated, hopefully, he'll have a presentation to make at the next meeting. At this time, Clarence distributed a handout entitled "Tax Increment Law Consideration." He explained tax increment itself and pointed out there are two laws, the development district law and the HRA law. After the developer has submitted his proposal a resolution to establish a district should be submitted to the City Council for official approval. However, prior to this recommendation a decision should be made to determine whether to use development district or HRA Law. Ralph Westlund suggested getting a consultant or specialist in bonding to tell us which way to go or which would be the best for Hutchinson to make sure we take the right step. It was the consensus of the Committee to discuss the matter further at the next regular meeting on Tuesday, June 6, 1978. There being no further business to come before the Committee at this time the meeting was adjourned at 1:15 P.M.
