PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P.M. (a) ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES OF DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS NO. 1 & 2 Mayor Black read the Notice of Public Hearing, Publication No. 2101, calling for a public hearing to establish the tax increment boundaries of the Down- town Development Districts No. 1 & 2. He then presented a brief background on the changes that have occurred in the city since the Comprehensive Plan of 1959 was prepared. An update of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as several other studies, has been done. Mr. Clarence Simonowicz of C.R.S. has been work- ing with the city to improve the downtown area and try to attract more busi- nesses in this area rather than on the outskirts of the city. The Tax Increment Law enables the city to acquire land and then turn it over to a developer. Research has been done on the legal aspects of the tax in- crement districts, and all tax entities affected have been advised of the city's plans, i.e., County Board of Commissioners and the Board of Education. These two boards have been asked to respond by adoption of a resolution either supporting or opposing the tax increment districts. Mayor Black reported the response of the County Board was passive, but the Board of Education adopted a resolution of support at their meeting this evening. Mr. Clarence Simonowicz of C.R.S. presented a report on the Downtown Develop- ment Districts No. 1 & 2 and pointed out the various areas on prepared draw- ings. He further commented that cities the size of Hutchinson can form a dis- trict based on one of three criteria: (1) 1% of total acreage per district (3% total acreage), (2) 5% of market value per district (10% total market value), and (3) one district no more than 6 acres. Council Minutes October 10, 1978 Mayor Black commented that it is not the intent of the city to go into develop- ment projects to acquire any property, do any demolition, or other activity without first having a firm commitment with security from a developer. If and when the city reaches this stage, the acquisition would be done through nego- tiations with the property owner and an acquisition price established. Re- location funds would be available for those who need to move. Mr. Clifford Popp, Fifth District County Commissioner, reported the County Board of Commissioners was neutral on the tax increment boundaries. Mrs. Orval Satterlee inquired about the time schedule for projects inasmuch as she lives in the development area. She also wondered how long a per19d of time the property owner would have to relocate and if the property wq.'_4d be used for parking rather than a swimming pool as first planned. Mayor Black responded that no definite time schedule has been establishgic- Once there is assurance that a project will be going on a particular sib, the site preparation begins. If and when these developments occur, the `city will be helpful and compassionate with the people concerned. Mr. Simonowicz stated that if the city purchased property, it would pay the value at the time of purchase. Home owners could receive up to $15,000 in addition to the value of their home for relocation costs and the city cannot take possession until the property owner has found another suitable location. Mrs. Erick Riesberg inquired where the Community Center would be located. Mayor Black responded the tentative location is Second Avenue and Glen Street, but this could be changed. It was moved by Alderman Westlund to close the hearing at 8:35 P.M. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried. It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Peterson, to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 6224 entitled Creating Development Dis- trict Boundaries. Motion unanimously carried. It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Huntwork, to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 6238 entitled Requesting Certification of Base Assessed Valuation.

COMMUNICATIONS, REQUESTS AND PETITIONS (a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY THE BIG "C" DRIVE-IN TO HAVE REFUSE PRIVATELY HAULED -2- Council Minutes October 10, 1978 Mayor Black referred to the contract held with Junker Sanitation for refuse hauling. It was his opinion that the city could not issue a second permit for -private hauling, but the Big "C" Drive In could haul their own refuse. The letter was then referred to Alderman Westlund for him to contact Junker. Mr. Merrill Johnson, owner of a 8-plex apartment building, raised a grievance against Junker regarding his fees for sanitation service. This matter was also referred to Alderman Westlund for contact with Junker.

MODIFIED ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING FOR CITIES OVER 2,500* The bookkeeping requirements of a small municipality are not different in principle from those of a large city; but there are differences in scale. As a result, it is sometimes difficult for the clerks and treasurers to use the available guide books, most of which were written with the larger units in mind. It is the purpose of this work- shop to help fill the gap by providing a basic understanding of the concepts involved and by explaining procedures and offering suggestions fo, i small municipality while retaining the principles and standards ger ily recommended for all cities and other units of government.

Previously it has been held at the Gopher Campfire Grounds at Byron Lake. The matter of obtaining corn from the Green Giant Company at no cost, seems to have become a controversial matter. It was indicated as a matter of policy that there should be some guide lines, so that only for events scheduled through the Senior Activities Advisory Committee for all Senior Citizens, uder the direction of the coordinator Page 2 RHAA should make the request. Getting estimates for carpeting for the coordinator's office in the armory was suggested.

The resignation of Airport Manager Dean Nelson was received, effective November 10, 1978. The consensus of the members was to have staff immediately advertise for the position in the Minneapolis Star, Hutchinson Leader and the Minnesota Flyer. The availability of aircraft fuel will be a major problem after the termination date of the contract with New Ulm Flight Service. The Commission requested staff to look into and, if possible, have a "key" or "credit card" system at the pump. If this is possible, there would not be an initial need for a full -pump attendant and will be helpful on weekends to the flyers. The status of the non -directional beacon was discussed. The State Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics, has selected the site and it will take ap- proximately one year to complete the required paperwork. The Commission agreed to have Doug Hedin, Project Coordinator, to take the necessary steps to have the re- quired primary power be installed to the site this fall. It was pointed out that this is the ideal time of the year to accomplish the trenching and laying of cable.

PUBLIC HEARING a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FOR MODERN BUILDING SYSTEMS Chairman Tracy opened the hearing at 12:00 (noon) and read the public notice as published in the Hutchinson Leader on September 22, 1978. Art Hagen, representing Modern Building Systems, reviewed their plans for the construction of a laundromat, Tom Thumb Superette and office space. He pointed out that in order to meet the requirements for parking, they would need a ten foot sideyard variance to allow the building to be built fifteen feet from the side rather than twenty-five as required. A representative from the Big Bear Stores was present and stated their only objection is that this proposed structure would further hide their building. It was the feeling of the Commission members present that this new develop- ment should not hamper the business of the Big Bear Store. There being no one else present wishing to be heard, the hearing was closed at 12:10 P.M. on motion by Paul Christen and seconded by Bob Otte. The motion carried unanimously.

Also present were Mayor Black, Administrative Assistant Plotz, Consultant Clarence Simonowicz and Jean Lerberg. Chairman Quade made reference to the public nearing being held tonight during the City Council meeting, at which tune boundaries of the Downtown Development Districts No. 1 & 2 will be established. Mayor Black reported on a meeting held this morning at 10:00 A.M. between himself, Skip Quade, Tom Savage, Gary Plotz, and Irvin Burich. They discussed the problems with the bank pian, and it was his feeling that a reconciliation can be accomplished and an agreement reached. Mr. Burich will be talking to his architectural people, and Clarence Simonowicz will put together some sketches and diagrams on bank options for the present site. Another meeting will be held to discuss the situation further, and it is anticipated that an agreement will be reached at that time. Possibly within the next 30 days an agreement will be reached which will be acceptable to the City Council, the Downtown Development Committee, and the bank. Clarence Simonowicz reported on a conversation held yesterday with Mr. Albert regarding the Holiday Inn. All the formal paperwork is being completed so a decision should be reached shortly. There has been some problem with the wording of the franchise. Mr. Simonowicz also commented on the parking bonds. The purpose of the bond issue is to refinance the parking revenue, he had been told this was not possible. Mr. Simonowicz made reference to a resolution creating development district boundaries which will be adopted at the City Council meeting in conjunction with the public hearing. Mayor Black reported that two weeks ago he and Gary Plotz met with the County Commissioners, as well as the Board of Education, regarding the tax increment financing. Neither Board had any objection, and they were requested to adopt a resolution starting either approval or disapproval. It was reported that Mr. Albert will request the City to acquire the Holiday Inn site and then sell the land to the A & P Group for development. Mr. Plotz reported the City Council approved the revision on the highrise site appraisals and all of the property owners involved have signed the purchase agreements. HUD met with Mr. Albert and Mr. Smiley regarding allocations, which should take place in November. Mr. Simonowicz commented on the cold storage building. It will be necessary to issue industrial revenue bonds to help with the relocation expense of the building. It is also Mr. Daggett's intention to expand the building operation, with a possible option in the Industrial Park.

There was also discussion regarding holding; a preliminary meeting with property owners in the "A" and "B" Flight "Zones prior to the hearing date. A preliminary meeting is not a legal requirement, however, the Board felt that it was good "public relations" to do so.

The meeting was adjourned at. 7:30 P.M. .' �141'A 4 DATE: October 16, 1978 POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Dean M. O' Borsky, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Purchase of police vehicles Several weeks ago I received permission from the Council to contact local -car dealers in an effort to try to obtain two new police vehicles at a price which would be better than could be obtained through the bid process. As you know, we are allowed to purchase items less than $10,000 without going through the bid process under new state law. I provided all the car dealers in the community with a set of specifications for police vehicles and received interest from three dealers. The other car dealers were not interested in quoting a price or were not able to meet our specifications. As we entered into price negotiations it was my intention to stay away from the large passenger vehicle and stay with the medium sized or compact police vehicle. However, we did disregard any vehicles with a wheel base of less than 107 inches because of the safety factor involved with a vehicle that small. Because of this we requested different prices from Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth. During the past couple of weeks we carefully reviewed the vehicles of all three companies and are satisfied that we will receive the best possible vehicle for our money. The following is a list of the prices as were given to us by various companies. FORD LTD :_ $6141 CHEVROLET Impala $6100 malubu $5950 PLYMOUTH Volare $5775 Based on the above, I therefore make the following recommendation: ?- a • (1) That we purchase two 1979 model Plymouth Volares from Trails End, Inc., of Hutchinson at a price of $5775 each. It is my feeling that we are receiving the kind of vehicle that we feel meets our needs at the lowest possible price and also can be assured of good maintenance on the vehicles. Trails End has been doing all the maintenance on all our vehicles over the past year and we are pleased with their performance. As you ]mow, the two Chevrolet Novas that we intend to trade on these vehicles have well over 110,000 miles each on them and because of the fact that it will take 60 to 90 days for delivery after the new vehicles are ordered I would urge you to expedite approval of this request at the earliest possible date.

While looking at this area, I observed that there are several other entrances between Hardees and the junction with Trunk Highways 7, 15 and 22 that might have visibility problems due to parked cars.

C. Grahn's letter of October 12, 1978, I have looked at the site suggested for restricted parking on T.H. 7 West. The restric- tion of parking from the Hardees site to Dale's Auto would take away only six parking spaces. There is undoubtedly a visibility problem caused by parked vehicles at the other four driveways. It is, therefore, my recommendation that the "No Parking" signs be installed as per Mr. Grahn's proposal. /ms CHARTER FLIGHTS - FLIvrIT INSTRUCTIONS - AIRCRAFT MAIN..FSIANCE - PLANE RENTAL NEW -ULM FLIGHT SERVICE INC.

The Council has considered tt►e effect- of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, existinf, and anticipated traffic conditions; light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the values of property in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreasonably in- crease the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in aay other aspect be contrary to the intent of the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. 5.

FROM: Gary D. Plotz,—Administrative Assistant _ _ _ _ — _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SUBJECT: Marketing Booklets of Tickets for Hutchmobile _ _ _ _ , — — _ T The City Transportation Board and likewise the Community Services Board for the Elderly have recommended that the City initiate selling booklets of tickets for the purpose of being gifts for Christmas, birthdays, and/or for general marketing. The Transportation Board has asked staff to prepare such booklets of tickets. Each booklet would have 15 tickets of a value of 25C per ticket and sell'for $3.50 (value of $3.75). As a further assistance to the elderly and as a complement to our marketing efforts, the Community Services Board desires to further subsidize the ticket expense. This subsidy would take the form of a 50C rebate per booklet of tickets. The rebate would be received by tearing off the back portion of the cover of the booklet and by turning this in to the Senior Citizens Co- ordinator at the Old Armory. The rebate concept would have a termination date, as there is A three-year grant limitation on their demonstration grant. /ms (612) 879-2311 HUTCH" CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: October 24, 1978 TO:.

In contacting all the local agents, I found no company willing to accept our contract and re- sulted.in us being placed in an insurance pool. The policy application has been written by the Grams Agency and the pool has assigned us to Etnea Insurance Company. The pool guarantees us the minimum liability necessary for operation of our system ($300,000 to $350,000). When the policy is received we will be looking at the possibility of adding to the same level of coverage the City had under the former policy.

Pishney, Secr.-Treas. Myron Johnson, President Hutchinson, Minnesota October 11, 1978 FOR YOUR INFORMATION Mayor and Councilmen for the City of Hutchinson: I own an 8 plex apartment building in Hutchinson and I am in disagreement with Mr. Jim Junker in regard to his fees for sanitation service. I contacted Mr. Junker by letter the middle of July, due to an increase on my sanitation bill. I asked him at that time to justify his increase, as I had been informed that his rate was negotiable with apartment owners. I never received any prior notice of an increase until I received my bill. He never contacted me. Again, the first part of September I wrote another letter, but still got no answer. The third week in September, after Mr. Plotz was kind enough to contact him twice, Mr. Junker did try to call me. He then called me on October 1st. At that time we discussed his charges and no agreement was reached. When I had contacted Mr. Junker earlier about using a dumping container, he gave me a price for the different sizes. The more volume they held, the higher the rate was, which tells me he charges by volume, yet during our phone conversation, he stated he charges by the size of the apartment building. I feel this is grossly unfair. 1 have 3 efficientcy apartments and a total of 11 people living in the building. It certainly sounds like he has a double standard to fit the situation at hand. At the present time 1 have ten garbage cans, the same amount 1 have had for the past 3 years. Based on volume from my apartment building versus a residential, my bill at the present time is 36% higher. Listed below are the facts 1 used for calculation of the following: 1. Average residential home: 3 cans per week or 28.81 per can or $45.00 per year. 2. My present apartment rate: 10 cans per week or 45.51 per can or $237.00 per year, which is 36% more than residential. 3. Mr. Junker's proposed rate: 10 cans per week or 51.3t per can or $267.00 per year, which is 44% more than the residential rate. My question is this: Why should my rate be 44% more than residential? Another factor to consider is the fact that he makes approximately 3 residential stops to pick up the amount he gets at my apartment, which is only one stop. w Wn 1178 Page 2 During our phone conversation, he told me that by next year all apartments would have to use his dump containers. I know that I can't justify having a huge truck driving on my black -top driveway and breaking up my parking lot and then having to repair the damages myself. I understand that at the present time I am compelled to do business with Mr. Junker, but when contract time comes again, maybe the City of Hutchinson should look at issuing more than one contract, so the people in our position would have some bargaining power. In conclusion, when contract renewal time comes, please bear in mind his very poor communications (21 months), and his poor attitude toward his customers. After all, we are the people who have to pay the bill. I'll be looking forward to a reply in regards to this matter. I would personally like -to thank Mayor Black and the City Council for their time and effort at the October 10th Council Meeting. Sincerely Yours, Merrill L. Johnson C. R.

STONEBURNER Gary D. Plotz Hutchinson City Clerk 37 Washington Avenue West FOR YOUR INFORMATION Hutchinson, MN 55350 Dear Mr. Plotz: �6�11819202j' ti (HCl ; ,'978 REE ED 01 Re: Paquette vs. City of Hutchinson In accordance with Chapter 466 of the Minnesota Statutes, you are hereby notified that Jerome and Donna Paquette intend to initiate a lawsuit against the City of Hutchinson and Marlow Priebe in connection with the problems they incurred as owners of the Midwest Mobile Home Park. This Notice of Claim does not require any particular response from you, and I am merely providing it in compliance with Minnesota Law. A complaint will follow this letter within the next week or ten days setting out these specific nature of action. Of course, the said complaint should be referred to the City Attorney so that he can draft a proper answer. In substance the suit will be grounded in negligence and will allege that Marlow Priebe and the City of Hutchinson caused Mr. & Mrs. Paquette a considerable loss of income by denying prospective tenants the right to utilize the facilities of the Midwest Mobile Home Park. As you are aware, these problems developed during March of 1978 and extended through July 1978. During this period, quite a number of prospective tenants were denied building permits and were thus unable to establish residence in the Midwest Mobile Home Park. It will be our position that the resultant loss of rental income, reduction in sale price of the park, and mental suffering all stemmed from the negligence of the City, and specifically the fact that Mr. Priebe exceeded his authority in instructing city personnel to deny building permits to prospective mobile home park tenants.
