ATTENDANCE OF BASIC BUDGETING COURSE
Ken Merrill, City Accountant, and myself attended a one -day budgeting course at the
Brooklyn Center City Hall on Thursday, August 18, 1977.
The course was a brief oversight of (1) three types of budgets (line item, functional,
and program), (2) classification of revenues and expenditures through the chart of accounts,
(3) procedures and timetables for submitting a city budget, including requirements for
federal revenue sharing.
I feel this budgeting course was of a summary nature. A more detailed ten -week course in
municipal accounting procedures will be offered in the:Twin Cities this fall.
ICE ARENA CONTRACT
I have made the changes within the contract for the Ice Arena that were requested by both
the school district and -the Civic Arena Coordinator.
This Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Ralph Neumann, Dale Birkeland and myself will be meeting to
hopefully finallize the arrangements. Subsequently, I anticipate the contract will be
submitted to the respective governing bodies for approval.
ELECTIONS
Dorothy Smith and I will be traveling to Litchfield tomorgow fora refresher course on
election procedures for this fall's elections.
We will be providing you with a schedule of dates for the various election activities this
fall.
CITY RECEIVES APPROVAL OF COMPUTER GRANT - $13,500
On Thursday, August 11, Ken Merrill and myself traveled to St. Paul, League of City offices,
to present in person the City of Hutchinson's request for state funding of telephone expenses
and first year membership, associated with the LOGIS system.
The presentation was made to the Intergovernmental Information System Advisory Council (IISAC),
and was subsequently approved by the State Commissioner of Administration.
It is noteworthy that Dean Lund, Executive Director of the Minnesota League of Cities,
strongly supported our grant request throughout the presentation.
The results are that the City of Hutchinson has been awarded a grant totaling $13,500.
Specifically, this includes a one-year funding for operating membership expenses and a
two-year grant for funding of long distance telephone expenses.
.COMPUTER TERMINAL INSTALLATION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1977
The executive director of LOGIS, Ted Willard, has informed me that our computer terminal
will be installed on or about September 1, 1977.
A preliminary meeting on the implementation of the payroll module was held yesterday at
City Hall, with Jim Payne of LOGIS, Hazel Sitz, Joleen Runke, Ren Merrill, and myself in
attendance.
It is anticipated that a trial run (on a parallel basis with the existing payroll system)
will happen on the second pay period in September.
APPRECIATION PICNIC
The Third Annual City of Hutchinson Appreciation Picnic will start at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow
evening. Supper will be served at 5:30 p.m. and music by the Pope County Hiway Department
will be from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.
We invited, as in previous years, employees, boards, commissions, and their spouses (or
guests). The latest count on attendance is 250 individuals (last year, 200 attended).
In case of rain, we will move to the Civic Arena and make do with last minute arrangements.

taken of Main Street and Hassan Street to portray what it looks like at
present with all the trees intact. He then asked for suggestions of a
good location to store the pictures so they would not get misplaced.

On motion by Laurel Olson, seconded by Ken Gruenhagen the previous minutes
for the regular meeting on June 21, 1977 and the special meetings on June 6

3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY
J. L. SELLE, CONTINUED FROM JUNE 21, 1977
At 7:32 PM the hearing was opened by Chairman Cone.
Mr. Genty -Representing J. L. Selle submitted the site
Attorney at Law plan for the lot in question. He inquired
as to the date of the Zoning Ordinance being
used.
Mr. Pauley mentioned Mr. Selle`s house and lot were zoned commercial but the
driveway was considered residential.
Mr. Genty
Attorney at Law
-Stated the operation as it exists is causing
problems because of being zoned both commer-
cial and residential.
J. L. Selle -Mentioned the State said the used car lot
436 Prospect office should be in a separate building from
the one you reside in. He was told at the
time he purchased the site it was zoned
commercial. Mr. Selle suggested putting up
"no parking" signs therefore requiring the
potential customers to come up farther.
Mr. Schantzen -Stated he felt zoning is an issue her since
City Attorney the driveway poses a problem by existing
in an R-2 District.
74-,
July 19, 1977
Page 2
Mr. Genty -Understood a commercial business had existed
Attorney at Law here priviously, a cab company, and felt
Mr. Selle's proposal is no more of a nuisance,
since used car lots don't create much extra
traffic.
Mr. Priebe reminded them the entrance must come through commercial not residential
district to meet with city requirements and it also needed to be black topped.
Chairman Cone remarked that since the cab company is gone it extinquishes itself
from "grandfathering" the used'car lot in the residential district. He then read
the letter from Mr. Norman Johnson listing reasons why he felt Mr. Selle's
request for a conditional use permit should not be approved.
Mr. Schantzen asked Mr. Selle if he would be willing to change the entrance.
Mr. Genty -Stated if that is the condition placed on
Attorney at Law his getting a conditional use permit, he
felt it could be accomplished. He asked
if there were a time limit on the black
topping.
Director of Public Works Priebe stated the developer doing the job should submit a
time in which he felt was reasonable to get the black topping done.
Chairman Cone felt the surrounding residents were opposing the appearance of a
used car lot in that area, therefore, would it be possible for some type of
screening to be put up.
Mr. Genty -Thought the lay of the land took care
Attorney at Law of the screening aspect from any neighbors.
Mr. Pauley read over the allowable uses under the residential district, and pointed
out an office is not allowed in the residential district, which Mr. Schantzen
agreed was correct. Mr. Priebe explained how the zoning came about for the par-
ticular site involved bringing about the two different districts.
On motion by Ken Gruenhagen, seconded by Clint Tracy the hearing was closed by
8:16 PM. Motion carried unanimously.
After a lengthy discussion, Laurel Olson made the motion to approve the request
for a conditional use permit contingent upon Mr. Selle working with staff to come
up with an acceptable time frame a) to change ingress and egress to the lot b) black
top the entrance and c) suitable screening from adjacent property owners. Ken
Gruenhagen seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY HUTCHINSON CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE

to do to the house in question.
Clint Tracy made the motion, seconded by Laurel Olson to set the public
hearing for August 16, 1977. The motion carried unanimously.
f) ELECTION OF VICE CHAIRMAN
Chairman Cone explained that Commission member Laurel Olson will be moving
soon to Acoma Township and has submitted his resignation to the Mayor.
Since he will no longer be eligible to be a member of the Planning Commission
it is necessary to elect a Vice Chairman to replace him. Chairman Cone then
declared the nominations open for Vice Chairman.

ations for Vice Chairman be closed and a unanimous ballot be casted for Ken
Gruenhagen for Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission. Elsa Young seconded
that motion and all present voted "aye" and the motion carried.

g) PRESENTATION OF DOWNTOWN STUDY BY CLARENCE SIMONOWICZ
Mr. Pauley gave a brief history of the Downtown Study to date and alerted
the members that a public hearing was set for August 17, 1977 at which time
the public was invited and entitled to voice their opinions.
Mr. Simonowicz stated the first part of the study dealt with conditions
of the existing buildings downtown. He briefly went over the charts he
had containing information on parking situation, future plans indicated by
the businessmen and so forth. He also explained some alternatives to
accomplish the growth in the downtown area, and displayed colored illustrations
of what this could possibly look like with these proposed alternatives.
Clarence Simonowicz went on to suggest methods of financing such a proposal
through such means as bonds, grants, tax increment financing and the like.
Marlin Torgerson spoke on behalf of the Downtown Study Committee stating that
he had 112 signed petitions from businesmen around the downtown area, 104
of which were in favor of the proposed downtown development. He went on to
say that the Ambassadors totally support this proposal and Dick Lennes from
the Downtown Council in a letter which Mr. Torgerson read suggested that
the Planning Commission take action tonight to recommend approval to the City
Council.

Dennis Hukried commented that a lot of thought and effort went into
this study and the downtown businessmen are anxious to see this
come about. From the people he was in contact with he hasn't come
across any negative feelings.
Jay Alrick stated he also felt this should be passed on to the City
Council with favorable recommendation.
Marlin Torgerson stated he hoped this would proceed without delay because
the Downtown Study Committee has been working on this for 12 months already
and believes they have covered every angle possible. Again he mentioned
he hoped the recommendation would be passed tonight to get things going.
Laurel Olson made the motion to endorse and support the Downtown Study Plan
to recommend approval to the City Council and proceed without delay. The
motion was seconded by Elsa Young and carried unanimously.

SPECIAL MEETING-HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Tuesday, July 19, 1977
1. The special meeting was called to order at 12:07 PM by Chairman Knutsen
with the following members present: Les Smith, Arlene Zimmerman, Russ Meade,
Phyllis Hegrenes, Rev. Hinsch, Don Glas, and Mildred Nelson. Also present
were ex officio member Bob Otte, and Community Development Director Pauley.
2. Mr. Pauley opened the meeting by alerting the Committee members that the
Public Hearing regarding the Downtown Study will be Wednesday, August 17th
and he suggested the Committee give their recommendation to City Council
verbally or in writing by that time.
Mr. Clarence Simonowicz gave his presentation on the Downtown Study which
revealed a lot of retail and commercial business goes on in Hutchinson, in fact,
half of the retail dollars in the County comes from Hutchinson business. There
is a large amount of clothing business done in town but such businesses as
furniture and eating and drinking establishments are not as plentiful, therefore
being in demand. The survey also revealed, with regards to the downtown busi-
nessmen some are dissatisfied with rent, some felt parking is a problem, all
of which indicates the possibility of changes being made within the next five
to ten years.
Along with this, Mr. Simonowicz displayed detailed illustrations of the downtown
proposal and explained the suggested proposals for the downtown area regarding
retail business and parking facilities, and alternatives for govenment buildings.
Clarence then went over the cost of the various types of changes proposed and
suggestions as to possible ways the City could obtain the money for this project.
Mr. Pauley interjected that Hutchinson has the opportunity with this downtown
proposal to "solidify its base", whereas a majority of the towns start something
similar to this when their community is beyond help or past the point of no
return. He also reminded them that no public dollars will be used until a
developer has been secured.
Mr. Pauley went on to report that at the Public Meeting on July 13th of the
20 property owners -being considered for possible acquisition present that
evening, no one voiced any objections to the idea of acquisition.
Chairman Knutsen commended Mr. Simonowicz on the great job he did with the
study and asked the Advisory Committee for their recommendation to the Mayor
regarding the downtown proposal.
Phyllis Hegrenes made the motion to communicate by letter a positive recom-
mendation to the Mayor to accept the concept of the downtown proposal. Russ
Meade seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: ICMA DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The International City Management Association (ICMA) for
several years has offered a deferred compensation plan. The
plan is an optional (voluntary) payroll deduction that Is
completely paid by the employee.
Money from the payroll deductions is sent to ICMA where
it is maintained and invested in an individual employee
retirement account. All payroll deductions and subsequent Invest-
ment earnings are on a non-taxable basis until retirement. The
U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has given approval of the plan.
Over five hundred (500) communities have adopted the necessary
resolution (see attached) to implement this employee option.
Minnesota communities that have done so include:
Albert Lea
Benson
Brooklyn Park
Brooklyn Center
Coon Rapids
Edina
Fridley
Glenwood
Golden Valley
Lakeville
Mankato
Minnetonka
Montevideo
Morris
New Brighton
Plymouth
Red Wing
Richfield
Robbinsdale
Rochester
Roseville
Shoreview
St. Louis Park
Winona
While being employed in Wisconsin, I participated in the
ICMA Plan. I found the investment yield (earnings) to be
consistently higher than any of the privately offered plans.
Two employees (Finley Mix and Marlow Priebe) presently
participate in a private plan offered by Aetna Insurance. It
is my understanding, after discussing this with Ralph Westlund,
that employees could participate in either pian, as there is no
franchise agreement.
Attached is a more detailed summary of the ICMA Plan.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN SUMMARY
BACKGROUND TO THE ICMA. RETIREMENT CORPORATION
The ICMA Retirement Corporation is a nonprofit and tax-exempt
Corporation serving only state and local governments. Its
legal status is that of a political subdivision of the state
and local government agencies it serves. The Corporation was
organized in late 1972 to assist those govern:-�nts in providing
their employees with a portable retirement pl for mobile em-
ployees and a loci -cost supplemental plan whic) will assist the
public service in its competition for competr.,.v personnel. The
Corporation is sponsored by the fallowing or(..._-: i.zation :
American Association of Airpcz_,c 1:xC;cuti1,rE:s
American Institute of Planners
American Public Power Association
American Public Works Association
American Society of Planning Officials
American Society for Public Administration
Building Officials and Code Administrators International
International City Mann ement Association
International Institute of Municipal Clerks
International Personnel Management Association
Municipal Finance Officers Association
National Association of Counties
National Institute of Municipal Law Officers
National League of Cities
,United States Conference of Mayors
In addition, the IcmA R tirement Corporation has been finan-
cially assisted by the international City Managem4nt Associa-
tion and the Ford Foundation.
The plan is administered out of our Washington office.
Materials are distributed to employees through the employer.
Copies of agreements between employer and employee are sent
to this office. Statements of contributions due are provided
based on a payment cycle designated by the employer. Special
assistance for ,adapting to local EDP systems is available.
ELIGIBILITY
Any employee of the state or local government public service
and related nonprofit tax-exempt agencies may participate.
The actual decision as to which employees will be eligible
is a matter for each employer to decide in accordance with
its own personnel policy.
EXPENSES
We have the lowest fees of any similar plan. There are two
fees:
1. A 3% administrative fee: This is a one time
charge on all contributions received (commonly
called a "load" charge). Its purpose is to
pay the cost of running the daily and routine
operations of the Corporation.
2. A 1% annual management fee: This fee is
levied against the total fund on an annual
basis but pro -rated monthly. Its purpose
is to pay the fees of the investment agent,
independent investment consultants, and to
provide sufficient resources for the Corpora-
tion to meet its long-term obligations and
unforseen expenses while keeping total fees
stable.
RECORDS
The Retirement Corporation maintains all legal and financial
records for the employer to include employee agreements, con-
tributions, and earnings. An annual financial report for
each employee is mailed to the employer annually, and a per-
sonal statement to each employee. (Appendices 1 and 2 res-
pectively.)
Most employers maintain a record of contributions for each
employee within their own accounting system, updating for
earnings annually. Likewise, we recommend the employer
maintain a record of each employee agreement.
COMPUTER FACILITIPS
All financial data is maintained on the Retirement Corpora-
tion's computer records. Likewise, certain personal data
is maintained for each individual account.
Employers may elect to use our forms for making contributions
(example at appendix 3) or they may provide us with their own
computer produced copy.' If the latter is chosen the pro-
cedure should be discussed with the Retirement Corporation.
ICMA Retirement Corporation ---,
DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION TO EMPLOYEES
Brochures and other information will be supplied to the
employer for distribution to employees. The Retirement
Corporation does not employ agents or representatives.
As a public service Corporation it is our policy to
(1) keep costs of the plan to a minimum and (2) assure
employer control of its benefit programs by requiring
at least pass-through control of materials submitted tc
employees.
INVESTMENT AGENT
Employees select investments through a Variable or Fixed
Income Fund, both of which are under the investment manage-
ment of the Trust and Investment Committee of the American
Security and Trust Company of Washington, D. C. This company
operates under a general investment policy established by
the Retirement Corporation's Board of Directors and in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Comptroller
of the Currency.
IMPLEMENTATION
Employer Adoption:
The plan may be implemented as soon as the Employer's govern-
ing body approves the required documents. In this regard
see sample resolution at appendix 4 and the basic plan docu-
ment at appendix 5.
Employee Enrollment:
Dissemination of information to employees is accomplished by
an emplWee brochure supplied by the Retirement.Corporation
(appendix 6). Additional materials are supplied to the
employer for interested employees. See accompanying packet.
Employees enroll by submission of a completed Joinder Agree-
ment for the employer's approval (appendix 7). Upon receipt
of the Joinder Agreement, the Retirement Corporation opens
an account for the employee.
IRS APPROVAL
It is not necessary to submit the ICMA Retirement Corpora-
tion's plan to the Internal Revenue Service as it is a
plan already approved and in use by numerous local govern-
ments. An employer is joining an existing plan rather than
creating a new one. Accordingly, no changes may be made
in the plan document. See the following IRS rulings at
appendix 8.
IRS Ruling of March 31, 1972, approving the plan provisions.
IRS Ruling of March 28, 1974, approving the transfer of
funds from one participating employer to
another in cases where portability of
benefits is desired.
IRS Ruling of April 2, 1974, approving the tax-exempt
status of the ICMA Retirement Corporation.

to the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has considered the establishment of a Deferred

said employees by the International City Management Association Retirement

retirement benefits.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY -THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA:
1. That the City establish said Deferred Compensation Plan for said
employees and hereby authorizes its Mayor to execute the Deferred Compensation

The appraisals and reviews of the properties on the high-rise site resulted

The fourth parcel which was intended to be acquired was not appraised as the
owner retracted on an,agreement to allow an appraisal. It is felt that this
should not stop negotiations on the other properties as the site would be

To say that we were discouraged with the turn -out for the dissemination
workshops would be putting it mildly.
After 59 hours of Homer and I being available at these workshops only
517 building owners attended. This is only 23.3% of the community and
the great majority of these were people who have already or were going

TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Dean M. 01 Borsky, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: 1978 bid specifications for police vehicle
Attached you will find the bid specifications for a 1978 police patrol
vehicle. I am submitting these to you so that we may take advantage of the
early availability of 1978 models as soon as they go into production.
The funds for this vehicle have been provided for in our 1977 budget
and the bid price would be contingent on the sale of our 1975 Ford which
has an excess of over 79,000 miles.
You will see by the plans and specifications that we plan to continue
with the smaller vehicles that we purchased in the past but because of
production changes we may not have a vehicle as small as the Nova next year.
We may have to go to a size which is one step larger than the Nova but from
the available information that I have we should continue to develop the same
kind of gas mileage and savings over the old larger models.

FROM: Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Vac -Jet Machine
For the last 12 months we have had demonstrations by several equipment companies.
We have studied the various machines as to sizes available and variable cleaning
ability.
We have come to the conclusion that a machine should be purchased that will jet
clean sewer lines, vacuum the water and debris and be able to be used for leaf
pick-up on the Streets. This type of machine would be truck mounted. A machine
of this size would cost between $50,000 and $60,000.
I would recommend we purchase same from the Sewer and Water fund. It then could
be leased to the Street and Park Department each year for cleaning storm sewers,
catch basins and leaf pick-up in Streets and Parks. This leased cost can be
budgeted annually. This will allow us to have a more stable budget.
The alternative is to program complete cleaning of our systems on a four (4)
year cycle. Based on the number of miles of lines that should be cleaned per
year and the present contractual cost, this cost would be approximately
$50,000 per year. I know this is not an acceptable budget cost and it only points
out the fact that this is one area of maintenance that can be done by the City at
a more reasonable cost.
I might add that the maintenance we have been doing on our lines is not
satisfactory and the,main reason is we do not have the proper equipment. This
machine will solve that for three departments.
Also, last year I reported the need for rebuilding some of the Sanitary Sewer
Systems in the S.E. area of the City. This information was found in an old
Sewer Line T.V. Report. This report, however, only covered a small percentage
of the lines. To complete our report as to which line will have to be replaced,
we will need to televise the lines. We can get this done at a lower price if we
clean the lines. This machine is capable of doing this.

SUBJECTS Tennis Courts
The Recreation Department would like to request permission
from the City Council to apply for the Outdoor Athletic
Court Section of the LAWCON Grant. The grant money would
be used to help construct four new tennis courts at North
Jaycee Park.
The grant would cover 50X of the costs of the new tennis
courts. The grant money is totally funded through the
state, no federal money is included.
The existing tennis courts, elementary school courts and
high school courts, are consistently receiving heavy pressure.
Many times players must wait in order to get a court in which
to play. With the rapidly increasing interest in tennis in
Hutchinson the situation would surely get worse. The Recreation
Department's sucessful tdnnis instruction program and junior
open tdnnis tournament along with the growing adult leagues are
proof of this.
At the present time there are no tennis courts in the northern
section of town. The tentative site for the tennis courts are
ideally situated on the level southeast section of North Jaycee
Park.
In order to be eligible for the grant, the application must be
in by September 16, 1977.

TO: City Council
FROM: —Don Pauley-----------------
SUBJECT: Amendment to Zoning Ordinance _ — — — — — — — — —
Enclosed is a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance presently being consid-
ered by the Planning Commission.
The amendment calls for the addition of a I/C-1 District to the Zoning Ordinance.
This district is designed specifically for the I-1 District along the railroad
tracks from the river to Fourth Avenue. This is an area in transition from
residential and commercial to commercial and industrial.
At present, the setback requirements of the I-1 District make development im-
possible on less than three lots with the requirements being 50' on the front
and rear yard and 25' on the side yards. Due to the fact that it is all but
impossible to put together three lots in this area, the setback requirements
discourage development of the area.
Also the uses allowed in an I-1 District prohibit the upgrading of most of
the structures presently in this district.
As a result, the I/C-1 District was developed. This district would allow for all
uses as a condition4l permitted use with setbacks and other measures to be
established on an individual basis. Thus the City would be able to adjust the
requirements as the mixture of uses demands.
This amendment has been reviewed by the City Attorney and received his approval.
Should the Planning Commission approve it, it will be brought before the City
Council on September 27th.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 10, 1977
To: Mayor D. J. Black FOR YOUR INFORMATION
FROM: Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Governor's Appointment
On Tuesday, August 9, 1977, I was contacted by the Governor's Office
and they advised me that my consideration for appointment to the new
State Crime Control Planning Board did not go through. A Governor's aide
advised me that I was in the running for the position down to the final
couple of people who were considered. He also advised me that the Governor
had requested that I be asked to serve on the new Minnesota Peace Officer
Standard and Training Board in lieu of the Planning Board. I accepted the
appointment to the position on the Training Board.
Actually, the appointment to the Training Board is more valuable to
me and to the City perhaps in terms of my ability to work more within the
limits of my expertise and interest and'experience in law enforcement. I
am pleased to be a member of this board and it will probably take a lot less
time than would have been necessary with the Crime Control Planning Board
and therefore I am looking forward to working on the Board.
