tions of the property for the elderly high rise. The City's appraiser, C.

(b) CONSIDERATION OF SELECTING A MOTEL PROPOSAL
Mayor Black summarized past action relating to motel proposals. The Council
had adopted Resolution No. 6159 which established guidelines for a motor inn/
motel type proposal and called for proposals to be due at City Hall at noon
on September 12, 1978. Two proposals were received on that date, namely,
Frank Fay Realty representing Travel Host and A & P Group representing Holi-
day Inn.
The Mayor further remarked he would like to go on record with a resolution
in favor of working with the A & P Group to locate a Holiday Inn in Hutchin-
son, with arrangements that would be economically feasible. Information on
the status of a franchise should be available within the next 30 days.
Alderman Westlund pointed out that the Travel Host had not submitted a de-
tailed proposal.as requested in the resolution. Holiday Inn had met the re-
quirements, and it would work in with the downtown development plan. He felt,
however, that the Travel Host should not be turned away in the event the
franchise did not materialize for the Holiday Inn.

HUTCHINSON
Mr. James D. Carlson, Project Director for the Nutrition Program for the Elderly,
reported to the Council that their present site is no longer available inas-
much as the West Central Community Services needs the space for additional
offices. Negotiations are being made with the National Guard Armory to use
their facility for the next year or two. After that time the program will
again be in need of a location. Mr. Carlson pointed out that Title V Grants
are available for remodeling existing buildings for senior program uses and
are set up on a 90-10 match basis. He would like to see a permanent site
established in Hutchinson since the program has grown from 1974 when it ini-
tially began. A Senior Citizen Center could provide many different services,
and the nutrition program would be just one phase.
Mayor Black thanked Mr. Carlson for his presentation and commented that in
the downtown development plan there is a project for a community building
which would have facilities available for a senior citizens program. No date,
however, has been set for construction.

Mr. Lloyd Vollmer, Executive Director of Minnesota Pioneerland, gave a presen-
tation to the Council regarding his publication. He has met with the Cham-

in the publication. A new Agri -Tour Guide is being produced which will in-
clude Hutchinson regardless of whether or not it contributes funds.

and the Chamber of Commerce has agreed to give an equal amount, for a half

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT MEETING
September 19, 1978
1. The regular meeting of the Downtown Development Committee was called to
order at noon on Tuesday, September 19, 1978 by Chairman Skip Quade with
the following members being present: Steve Richards, Lloyd Torgrimson,
Don Glas, Tom O'Connell, Bob Stearns, Jay Alrick, Tom Savage, Don Abbott,
Ken Gruenhagen, and Marling Torgerson in addition to Chairman Quade. Also
present were Mayor Black, Administrative Assistant Plotz, City Engineer
Priebe, Consultant Simonowicz, Jean Lerberg, and Al Albert and B.J. Smiley
from A & P Group.
2. The minutes of the previous meeting dated September 5, 1978 were approved
as written on motion by Bob Stearns, seconded by Don Glas and carried unani
mously.
3. Mr. Albert presented and reviewed the sketches for the downtown shopping mall.
He pointed out the site includes 369,350 square feet, with the retail area
being 79,200 square feet and parking facilities for 650 motor vehicles. In
explaining the latest sketch, Mr. Albert stated the area for the walkways
had been reduced to allow for more parking.
Committee member Tom O'Connell expressed his feelings as far as Citizens
Bank is concerned. The bank is looking for room to allow for possible
expansion of the bank and they do not want to lose their drive in facility.
It was the consensus of the Downtown Development Committee to meet with
Irvin Burich and the architect from Citizens Bank and discuss the urgency
of moving ahead with the plans for the Downtown Development Shopping Mall.
They would discuss possible alternatives and ask for suggestions and feelings
on the proposal.
After further discussion, Bob Stearns made the motion that Chairman Quade
and Mayor Black should appoint a group to represent the Downtown Development
Committee to meet with Mr. Burich, their architect and Clarence Simonowicz
to discuss the proposal for the Downtown Shopping Mall. Marlin Torgerson seconded
the motion and it carried unanimously.
Howard Haugen asked what will be happening in the next year or so regarding
the Holiday Inn proposal. Chairman Quade assured Mr. Haugen he would be given
ample notice of what will transpire, however, they have no sketches at this
time. First City Council has to decide which hotel/motel proposal they are going
to approve, then should the Daggett cold storage site be selected, Mr. Daggett
would need to construct a new building and demolish the old. Mr. Albert
estimated it could possible be two years before the completion of anything and
he would contact Mr. Hougan personally if he should so desire.
Mr. Albert recommended they should enter into a site agreement regarding the
sites as listed in the previous minutes (September 5, 1978). Mr. Plotz felt
the City would be entering into an agreement with the property owners for the
elderly highrise site within a couple of weeks. A letter from the appraiser,
C.R. Pelton & Associates, stated in reviewing the highrise site lots, the land

value had increased ten percent (10%), so the City Attorney is working
on negotiations with property owners at the amended appraisal market
value. Clarence Simonowicz was authorized by the Committee to begin
preparing the site agreements for the five parcels as listed on motion
by Marlin Torgerson, seconded by Jay Alrick and carried unanimously.
Mayor Black reported that two hotel/motel proposals were submitted on
September 12, 1978 and the City Council will be acting on this item
at their next regular meeting on Tuesday, September 26, 1978.
4. There being no further business to be discussed at this time, the meeting
was adjourned at 1:08 PM.

FROM: Planning Commission
SUBJECT; Variance Request for Modern Building Systems _
Pursuant to Section 6.05, B, 3, of Zoning Ordinance No. 464, the Hutchinson
Planning Commission is hereby submitting its finding of fact and recommendation
with respect to the aforementioned request for variance.
HISTORY
On September 19, 1978, Art Hagen, representing Modern Building Systems, filed
an application for a ten foot variance from the 25 foot sideyard setback re-
quirement on the West lotline in the construction of a building located at Hwy
7 West. At the regular meeting on September 19, 1978, Mr. Hagen was present
and explained the request and stated the building would consist of a luandromat
Tom Thumb superette and office space. The public hearing was set for October 3,
1978 because of a time problem with regard to construction. At the special
public hearing at noon on October 3, Mr. Hagen reviewed the request and displayed
the layout. A representative from Big Bear Stores was present stating their
only objection was that the proposed building would be too close to the highway
and therefore hide their Big Bear store.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The application for variance was submitted and the appropriate fee paid.
2. Notices were mailed to surrounding property owners and published -in the
Hutchinson Leader on Friday, September 22, 1978.
3. It was the consensus of the Commission members present that the location
of the proposed building would not hinder the business for Big Bear.
4. The extra room acquired in the reduction of the sideyard-setback would
supply the space needed to comply with the parking requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the request for
variance as submitted.
Respectfully submitted,
Clinton Tracy, Chairma

RESOLUTION NO. 6219
RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE FROM SECTION 6.05, B-3 OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE N0. 464 FOR SIDEYARD SETBACK FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA:
FINDINGS
1. Art Hagen, representing Modern Building Systems, of Hutchinson, Minnesota has
applied for a variance from Section 6.05, B-3 of the Zoning Ordinance No. 464 for a 10
foot variance from the 25 foot sideyard setback requirement on the west lot line in the
construction of a building located at 1115 Highway 7 West.
2. The Planning Commission has reviewed the application for a variance and has
recommended to the City Council that the application be granted.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health,
safety, and welfare of the community, existing 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
any other aspect be contrary to the intent of the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are pecu-
liar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to
other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoy-
ment of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely serve as a
convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or
difficulty.
CnWMIS?ON
The application for variance for the purpose designated is granted based upon the
findings set forth above.
Adopted by the City Council this 10th day of October; 1978.

SUBJECT: Cemetery
We have had an opening for some time for the position in the Cemetery. Mr.
Floyd Groehler has been assigned on a temporary basis. His work at this
position has been very good and he has accepted the position on a full time
basis.
It is my recommendation that Floyd be transferred from the Park Department
to the Cemetery Department, effective October 15th. Inasmuchas, this position
has more responsibility, I, also, recommend he be advanced from III -5 to III -7.
The former employee who held this position for one year was at III -8.

SUBJECT: Part-time dispatcher
I am recommending that the City Council approve the hiring of
Kathleen Christensen of Dassel as a part-time dispatcher. I feel that
Grade III Step I ($3.85) is a justifiable starting rate for her qualifi-
cations.
As you may note, Mrs. Christensen is from Dassel but is the
most highly qualified person that I have been able to locate. It is
difficult to find persons who are willing to accept part-time work who
have any kind of experience in this line of work; therefore, I am
recommending that she be hired on a training basis as soon as possible.
As I stated before, it is becoming increasingly more difficult
to bring part-time dispatchers in to fill in for our regular dispatchers
either for vacations, sickness or other emergencies. One of those
reasons is because the part-time dispatchers do not receive time -and -a -
half pay for holidays when they have to come in and work for a regular
dispatcher. I therefore recommend that the Council authorize payment of
time -and -a -half to part-time personnel when they come in to work on any
legal holiday. I hope this will solve the problem of unavailability of
part-timers in the future.

RE: APPLICATION FOR CETA FUNDS
We have been informed by Region 6E that CETA funds are expected
to be available for the next funding cycle. They are therefore
soliciting project applications.
We have applied for funding as in the past. If our application
is approved, it would provide assistance in the public works
departments and the civic arena.
One of the requirements of the grant application process is that
the City Council be on record as authorizing the filing of the
application. It is therefore requested that such action be taken.

TO: CITY COUNJ ',IL
Gentlenen:
Your town is among several good towns, in only one of which I would very much like to
open an Exclusive Off -Sale Wine and Cheese store.
Only Wine would be sold, in addition to the cheese - no other liquors or beer. The
Wines would be various types of Imported and nomestic brands, a great number of which
cannot be found in regular Off and On Liquor Stores, as there is generally not enough
space to carry all the types of Wines desired by the public.
The cheeses would also be various types of Imported and Domestic brands, a great number
of which are also generally not available in your regular grocery stores. In addition,
I will be able to furnish gift bones of various cheeses at Holiday time, which in most
cases new have to be ordered from out of tam.
As mentioned, insofar as liquors are concerned, I would carry nothing by the Wine, and
this could be stipulated in my license, so there should really be no competition
involved with local liquor stores. In fact, with my thirty years of advertising
experience, which I will take advantage of for my own business - this should indeed
bring more people, and therefore more business into the town as a whole.
Even though this would be strictly an Off -Sale Wine License, it is still classified
as an Off -Sale Liquor License by the state. According to the Minnesota Liquor Control
or
Commission, the nwnber of Off -Sale Liquor Licenses for any town - outside of Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Duluth - are left up to the discretion of the City Council.
As to nay personal history, I am originally from Wabasha, Minnesota. After the war, I
lived in Minneapolis for over thirty years, and have been working in Iowa -for the
last three years.
As it is very difficult for me to attend various council meetings out of state, I would
therefore first like to submit my application for a local Off -Sale Liquor (Wine)
License to your council through the mail, at this time, for only tentative approval -
if there are no restrictions in town against additional Off -Sale TAquorLieenses, and
especially if only Wine is to be sold. If you could give me this tentative approval,
I would then be very pleased to be at one of your council meetings personally for
further discussion as to store location, Bonds, and Off -Sale License Papers -
with eventual Final approval from your council.
I would really appreciate it if you could bring this matter up before your council
at your very next meeting, and advise me of your tentative decision. Then if you
would also tell me what times of the month your council meets, I will make arrangements
to be there personally.
Thank you so much for your very kind consideration of this new business in town.

INFORMAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL AND HRA BOARD
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1978
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The meeting was called to order at 12:25 P.M., with the following members present:
City Council: Mayor D. J. Black, Alderman Gruenhagen, Alderman Huntwork
HRA Board: Paul Ackland, Everett Hantge, Warren Macemon
Also Present: Administrative Assistant Plotz and Executive Director Lerberg
Mayor Black commented that the City had advertised for a developer for the entire
downtown area. Among the things listed for development was a housing unit similar
to Park Towers. The A & P Group was chosen to be the developer, and they have asked
to be designated as developer for the high rise also. He further reported on the Com-
munity Development Grant monies to acquire property for the senior high rise and the
problems encountered. The time has now come for a decision to be reached on what ap-
proach to use for constructing the high rise. It can either be developed by a pri-
vate developer, such as the A & P Group, or by ARA as was done for Park Towers.
Administrative Assistant Plotz gave a report on the progress of the friendly condem-
nation procedure. Since the three appointed appraisers were not able to come to an
agreement on the property evaluations, the City's appraisal group, C. R. Pelton & As-
sociates, amended their appraisals by 10%. The property owners involved are agreeable
to the adjusted figures, and there is money in the Community Development Grant fund
to cover the costs. However, there is not enough money to pay for demolition expenses.
The acquired property could then be sold to the developer, and the site would be avail-
able for a senior high rise.
It was pointed out that the over-all intent of the HRA Board is the responsibility of
providing the best possible housing for the community. Although they would like to
maintain an advisory position during construction, the HRA Board would be agreeable
to a private developer constructing and owning the completed unit.
Mayor Black made reference to a resolution requesting a one mill 1vy for HRA. Mr.
Ackland reported the HRA Board had discussed the possible uses for the mill levy money.
Two more appraisals were done on the property next to the Park Tow rs which they would
like to adquire. The selling price is $29,500. Mayor Black felt the acquisition of
this property would be worthwhile.
Reference was made to the nutrition for the elderly program. The possibility of lo-
cating the program in the location of Park Towers was discussed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:151 P.M.

Attention: Jim Gerber
RE: Hutchinson Bridge; RCM File No. 741059-301
Dear Mr. Gerber:
This office has reviewed the contract agreement between R. A. Krueger,,;
Inc. and the City of Hutchinson, the applicable "specificatiopns" for "School
Road Bridge over South Fork of Crow River, Hutchinson, MN", the subcontract
agreement between Glenwood Bridge, Inc. and R. A. Krueger, Inc., the Braun
Engineering Testing Report of July 31, 1978 and attachments, your letter
to R. A. Krueger dated August 1, 1978, various other letters, including
Glenwood Bridge, Inc.'s letter to R. A. Krueger, Inc. dated August 10,
1978, your letter to Glenwood Bridge, Inc. dated August 16, 1978, your let
ter to R. A. Krueger, Inc. dated August 24, 1978 and your letter dated
August 25, 1978 to R. A. Krueger, Inc., along with the specific specifica-
tions pertaining to the low slump overlay for the Hutchinson Bridge, which
you submitted to us under date of September 7, 1978, and we conclude the
following:
You directed Braun Engineering Testing to "make observations and
impressive strength testing of the four -inch concrete overlay'surface" on
the project. Braun found the west half of the School Road Bridge was over-
lain first and the east half was overlain second. In addition to their
comments regarding the curing period and the exposure of the concrete,
they found that the east half of the deck became soiled. Braun was called
to the site because "certain areas of the deck appeared to sound "hollow."
It was their opinion that certain portions of the "four -inch" overlay con-
tained concrete which would not perform adequately nor have the accepted
service life, and that typically the areas were confined to a region one
to two feet either side of the center line of the bridge where the two
overlay pours joined. Apparently their test probes "frequently indicated
concrete which appeared to have less than specified strength." It was
their opinion that ^the low strength readings are an indication of poor
bonding of the overlay to the underlying deck, not concrete with inadequate
compressive strength. Braun gave four possible reasons for the poor bond-
ing: (1) Curing, (2) Premature drying, (3) Deck may have not been cleaned
thoroughly enough, (4) Cutting of the overlay where the pours join may have
Mr. Jim Gerber 2 September 15, 1978
weakened or broken the overlay deck bond along the centerline when the
cut was made. They then made recommendations purportedly for corrective
work. More specifically as it applied along the centerline, they charac-
terized the shrinkage cracks as perhaps somewhat more difficult to correct.
Your letter of August 1, paraphrased Braun Engineering's test results and
contained a map of the purportedly affected areas.
- Requests were made to you to identify whether or not the work per-
formed was defective, and if that were your conclusion, what specific por-
tion of the specifications had not been complied with. In addition,
inquiry was made as to whether or not you were directing the contractor
to correct the allegedly defective work and to our knowledge no such speci-
fic response, in writing, was, or has been, given to the contractor either
in terms of identification or in terms of direction. Without such specific
direction the contractor could be in violation of the contract and -its
terms and, in that regard, it must be protected in the event it is directed
to perform corrective work and the work is found not to be defective, for
if it is found not to be defective the contractor would be entitled to an
increase in the contract price or an extension of the contract time or
both attributable to such additional work.
It is our -understanding, as to the sequence of work which was performed
in this project, and we would appreciate any correction of our analysis of
the sequential procedure;.the entire deck was to be sandblasted and cleaned,
which was done. The west half of the deck was overlain first, including an
overlay of some amount on the east half, perhaps between l or 2 or more
feet, a cutting of the overlay at the centerline, and a subsequent cleaning
and sandblasting operation on that east half before the east half overlay
was commenced, and a procedure after the cutting to remove from the east
half the access overlay, perhaps even including a jackhammer process, and
then the final overlay of the east half.
The contractor passed along to Glenwood Bridge, Inc. a copy of Braun
Engineering Testing's report, as well as a copy of your August 1, 1978
letter, in essence, advising the subcontractor Glenwood Bridge, Inc. to
take the appropriate action as required per your August 1, 1978 letter.
Apparently Glenwood Bridge, Inc. had also received directly from you, Braun
Engineering's report and your letter. Subsequent -to that time (August 1,
1978) on August 10, 1978, Glenwood Bridge, Inc. communicated directly with
you and you gave what Glenwood Bridge, Inc -determined was an unequivocal
reason (an unclean surface) as the cause of whatever condition apparently
exists or is alleged to exist. Glenwood Bridge, Inc. apparently has taken
your words, even though, by your August 16, 1978 letter you attempted to
clarify or modify your statement,as the gospel, as the true cause of the
alleged defects. Even your August 16, 1978 letter is couched in terms of
"seemed", "may have been," and "could be," again leaving doubt as to the
cause and perhaps even as to whether or not there was a problem. In any
event your contacting the subcontractor directly has clearly interferred
with the contractual relationship of our client and its subcontractor and
subcontractor has refused to do anything.
We presume that your tests have been adequate to determine that the
work is defective and determine the cause of the alleged defective work.
Mr. Jim Gerber 3 September 15, 1978
r
Assuming that the sequence of operation, we have asked you to comment
on, set forth above, particularly as it relates to the centerline matter,
is completely accurate, and the subcontractor was required to cut, remove
and perform a second cleaning and sandblasting operation on the east por-
tion along that centerline before overlaying the east portion, perhaps you
could explain how the alleged problem could be attributable to any other
party but the subcontractor. If our premise is correct, and your map is
reasonably accurate, the "hollow" sounds appear primarily on the east side
of the centerline, and since the subcontractor did the subsequent sandblast-
ing on the east side from the cut, as well as in the areas on the east side
soiled with oil and dirt, where does the responsibility lay for any correc-
tive work?
In your August 24, 1978 letter you appeared to be directing the con-
tractor to uncover, expose or otherwise make available for observation,
inspection or testing, the portion of the work in question. In addition,
to identifying defects as requested above, please in unambiguous terms
issue a written request as to what your (or the owners) determinations
are in this matter. We desire that our client be properly protected
pursuant to the terms of the contract before proceeding.
It is our understanding that all barriers have been removed from the
site and that the bridge is in fact being used. We consider this as an
acceptance of the work.
As the final item we request that all retainages, in view of the use
of the bridge, be paid at this time.
Very truly yours,
CARLSEN, GREINER & LAW

RE: City vs. Lowell Otto
Our File No. 69-H-357
Dear Mr. Black:
I submit the following information to you regarding
the City of Hutchinson vs. Lowell Otto so that you are apprised
of the present standing of the matter.
The matter was set for trial on September 27, at which
time the matter regarding Lowell Otto suing the City of Hutchinson
for $30,000.00 for allegedly losing personal property in the des-
truction of the building was to be heard. In negotiations between
the Judge, Lowell Otto's attorney, Robert Nicklaus and myself
the following settlement was reached:
1. The City of Hutchinson was to tender to Lowell
Otto the sum of $1,000.00 prior to October 31, 1978, at which
time Lowell Otto would execute a deed to the City of Hutchinson
for the North 75 feet of the subject property. That would give
the City of Hutchinson a piece of land sized 75 by approximately
157 feet and would be adjacent to the landowners to the north of
Lowell Otto and would be, of course, adjoining Lowell Otto's
property to the south.
2. Lowell Otto was to have until October 31, 1978, to
salvage any and all debris in the form of wood from the property.
After October 31 we were to remove any and all remaining wood
debris from the premises.
3. By June 1, 1979, Lowell Otto was to remove a
pile of debris in the form of metal and iron from his property
to the south. At such time as he removed that pile, the City of
Hutchinson would dismiss its criminal charges pending against
Lowell Otto. Furthermore, at that time, the City of Hutchinson
Mayor D. J. Black
Page Two
October 3, 1978
would erect a fence on the south line of its newly acquired
property, being the north line of the remaining Lowell Otto
property, and it would be anticipated that the landowners ad-
joining the newly acquired property would be interested in pur-
chasing same for the costs the City had incurred, thereby making
the City whole and the landowners with a decent backyard.
4. Following this agreement, which was all placed of
record by the court reporter at court, the parties and their at-
torneys went to the property and again finalized the matter.
On September 29 I received a letter from Lowell Otto's
attorney informing me that Lowell Otto had backed out of the
settlement and was hiring a new attorney. Needless to say this
leaves the matter up in the air. I do not believe that Mr. Otto
will be able to find an attorney to represent him in this matter
at this stage of the game.
I have ordered a transcript of the proceedings and we
intend to bring a motion in District Court to enforce the agreement
as stated on the record, and if we are successful in that motion
then the District Court will issue orders pursuant to the settle-
ment. On the other hand, if our attempt to enforce the agreement
is not successful we then will proceed immediately to trial with
our criminal charges,and if we are successful in convicting him
on the criminal charges I will ask the Court to impose a jail
sentence and to give Mr. Otto a reasonable but short period of
time to remove the debris or he will have to serve his jail
sentence.
We will keep you advised in the matter.

October 3, 1978 FOR YOUR INFORMATION
TO: Cities Which responded to the LMC Insurance Questionnaire
"t
FROM: Don Slater
RE: Current status of League Insurance Activities
As you know, in early May of this year, the League sent a questionnaire
to all member cities asking whether the city felt that the League should
attempt to create an alternative to the commercial insurance market and
whether the city was willing to contribute to the costs of this attempt.
Your city was among the 192 which responded to the questionnaire. Of
those 192, 182 agreed that the League should attempt to create an alternative.
Of those 182, 162 were willing to contribute towards the cost.
The League staff is currently soliciting proposals from a number of
consultants nationwide for the task of setting up an alternative. The
Board of Directors will be considering these proposals at its November
10 meeting. It is hoped that a decision can be made at that time, -
based on these proposals, as to whether it is feasible and desirable
to proceed, and if so, hoar to proceed. We will inform you of whatever
decision is reached as soon as possible.
The questionnaire also asked whether cities wished the League to create
a means to make health insurance available at group rates to cities with
small numbers of employees. 135 cities responded affirmatively to this
question. While we have been unable so far to devote much time to this
project, we hope to make some progress over the next few months. Again,
we will keep you informed of developments.
If you have any questions or comments on any of these matters, please
feel free to call Pete Tritz at the League office.

The meeting was called to order by chairman, Ralph
Bergstrom. Deletion to minutes of
August 14, 1978,
under "Unfinished Business: a. Line 6" delete "the
total additional
costs added were $1,040.00." Mrs. Gandrud moved, second by Mrs. Buchanan, that the
minutes be approved as corrected. Carried. Mr. Sanders moved, second by Mr. Christensen
that the treasurer's report be approved. Carried.
The.director's report was presented. It was noted that circulation had dropped 3% from
last year's totals. OPLIC statistics on circulation per FTE staff member were presented:
CRRL is above average. A meeting was held at the Willmar Community College with public
and school libraries represented. Discussion was held on cooperation between school
and public libraries. It was the consensus that the two types of libraries should not
be consolidated, but it was agreed that cooperation between them should be encouraged.
Notification of this encouragement to cooperate will be sent to all CRRL branches.
The bills were presented for payment. Mr. Fostervold moved, second by Mr. Sanders, that
the bills be paid.
Committee and project reports:
(a) Renville County Update -- on September 26, a petition for library services in
Renville County will be presented to their Board of Commissioners, with the possibility
of this being put on the November 7 election ballot.
(b) Governor's Pre -White House Conference -- The delegates attended regional meetings
prior to the conference in order to get feedback from people in the southwestern area
of the state. Mrs. Matson and Mrs. Thompson are both attending this conference.
(c) Preliminary copies of the "Regional Survey" were distributed.
Communications:
(a) Public Library Newsletter was passed around.
(b) Certification of minimum support figures was received from OPLIC�(see attached
copy). The circled items were the least amount required in 1979 in order to be eligible
for state aid in FY 1979. As noted, all the cities meet the requirement. Mr. Sundberg
will contact the county auditors and make them aware of this and explain the con-
sequences to the system if this requirement is not met.
(c) A letter was received advising us that our application for the special project
grant passed preliminary evaluation and it was recommended that it be funded.
(d) Public Officials Liability Insurance -- it was noted that premiums for this are
extremely high and can only be purchased through Stewart Smith Mid America Inc. in
Chicago. This was referred to the insurance committee. Mrs. McGraw will replace
Mr. Christensen on this committee.
Unfinished Business:
(a) Agreement between CRRL and Bird Island -- All the changeSidiscussed at the last
meeting have been written into the new agreement. The Bird Island City Council has
approved and signed it. Mr. Fostervold moved, second by Mrs. Reckdahl that we authorize
the chairman of the board, Mr. Bergstrom, to sign the agreement. Copies of the agree-
ment will be sent to all governing bodies of the CRRL system for their signatures. The
accompanying letter to the governing bodies should be signed by Mr. Sundberg. Carried.
New Business:
(a) Limited Statewide Reciprocal Borrowing Compact -- This is the same kind of agree-
ment we have with other libraries surrounding CRRL. The only system that would not
participate in this would be the metropolitan area. Copies were distributed for
members to study prior to the next meeting. +
(b) Revision of overdue fines schedule -- Mrs. Matson will present this'at our next
meeting.
(c) Discussion was held regarding changing the name of "Crow River Regional Library
System" to "Crow River Library System." This will also be discussed further at the
next meeting.
Mileage reports were distributed and recorded. Motion made, seconded and carried
that the meeting be adjourned.
