A major shift in American transportation markets is predicted by the year 2000. primarily because of energy conservation re- quirements but also because of other needs influencing the trend. Emphasis must shift from automobiles to transit systems, with greatly increased energy efficiency in all trans- portation modes. The forecast is bright for the transit field where the new criteria will be efficiency as well as convenience. The Fourth Annual Minnesota Transit Confer- ence will bring together operators of transit systems, officials of local units of government and private companies in the trrnsit field to discuss transit issues and programs in Minne- sota. A major portion of the conference will be devoted to discussion of the 1977 legislation appropriating $33 million for public trans- portation and how the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will administer the programs authorized by the law. The first day will focus on regular -route tran- sit and the second will be devoted to para - transit concepts and programs. Small group discussions and workshops will facilitate the sharing of a wide range of information and experiences. Who will attend? Are you a state or local governmental official or a city or county engineer increasingly aware of the need for improved transporta- tion systems in your community? Are you an entrepreneur interested in deve- loping your own commuter system as a viable investment? Are you an ecologist concerned with a trans- portation alternative "when the gas runs out?" Are you a transportation planner who needs to know how your community can benefit by the newly enacted transit programs? If you are any of these or if you are an inter- ested citizen concerned about better programs and policies, you should attend the Minnesota Transit Conference. The conference will be held at the Sunwood Inn, 3031 Second Street South, St: Cioud. A block of rooms is being held at the Sunwood for the convenience of those wishing over- night accommodations. Conference partici- pants must make room arrangements directly with the Sunwood Inn. Fees and Regisgoation The fee for the conference is $15.00 and includes the luncheons on Thursday and Friday. Registration may be made by August 10 on the attached form or in person at the conference beginning at 8 a.m., August 25.

A telephone conversation with their office revealed that all funded applications were able to identify all three problem areas, namely, 1. Major increase or decrease in population or economic growth. 2. Addition or removal of State facility. 3. Development on environmentally sensitive site. Unfortunately, we were able to identify only one problem (#1) and this was not enough. Gary and I will be investigating the possibility of another program for funding this project.

Black, Mayor City of Hutchinson Hutchinson, Minn. 55350 Dear Mayor Black: KORNGIEBEL 902 MAIN STREET MIJTCMINSON, MINNESOTA 692 - SSB • 8973 ARCHITECTS 66360 2242526p2 r'.9 ti Jtlt 1977 ,(; �VED co 0o iv s`��21 It 016�Gi FOR YOUR INFORMATION In response to your invitation for input to the downtown businessmen's proposal, I take this opportunity to share with you some of my personal observations. I strongly feel that this venture should be in the best interests of the entire community, which may or may not be those of the downtown community. The downtown of any community belongs to all of its citizens, and respect should be shown in any improvements to those traditions and planning concepts established long ago by our forefathers before pure economic requirements dictated the planning of downtowns. I have studied the "Downtown Proposal" and find the surveys excellent and the conclusions and recommendations well presented. However, in examining the physical planning aspects of the proposal,,there appear to be some areas that are question— able and consideration should be given to modification. The proposal is stated as hinging on the economic concept that a large retail addition is needed downtown. Accepting this fact as valid, I question the proposed location. The location on First Avenue SW reinforces an already healthy retail area, cre— ates additional parking and traffic in an already congested area, destroys a beautiful approach to the school, and creates the inappropriate environment of an elementary school and a shopping center parking lot. Without going into detail, I visual— ize other more desirable locations for this redevelopment. Mayor D. J. Black Page #2 July 219 1977 The civic building location proposals would also benefit from further study. At this point, the program requirements of a City Hall expansion have not been establi§hed, and it is very possible that the requirements may be met in retrofitting and adding on to the present City Hall, armory, and fire hall build— ings. The City Hall proposed location on Hassan Street in the 100 block north site might very well be utilized as one of the possible commercial expansion locations. The civic pool building would be better located next to the present civic arena. The facility as now proposed would also add to the parking and congestion problems downtown. The library and public square are the most important aesthetic features in downtown Hutchinson, and I feel warrant more detailed study than given at present. May I suggest an underground reading room expansion in front of the present Carnegie Building, which would add needed space in an economi— cal, unobtrusive, and energy efficient way and not detract from the park space. Another aspect of the proposal which should be carefully considered is the ramifications of closing streets on the over— all circulation pattern of the downtown. Finally, I would strongly caution that we do not destroy the fabric of our downtown community, that we not alter it drastically with too many closed streets and out of scale civic and retail structures. Development should not eliminate our important historical landmarks, such as the Masonic Temple, City Hall, armory, and other private buildings which can be given new life through retrofitting. These remarks are not intended as a negative response to the downtown proposal, but as constructive input to a wonderful idea which I am in full agreement with. I would welcome the opportunity of discussing these thoughts in more detail informally with you and the Council at your conven— ience if you are interested. Sincerely your , iLo • John W.

Pursuant to House File 1475, Article V, and House File 1510, both of which have been approved by the 1971 Minnesota Legislature, the special levy for a regional library system in the third or subsequent year of an OPLIC aran wj.?p tile_county_ served by the_regional.__jjbrary, or the amount levied' for �_regional 1ibrarr}_ n -1976 �aya61a 1977 tiie minimum local share reguirid 6 House File 1510 whi never is greater, minus the total county levy for t egioilal -�ibrary__system`in 1970 �axabg�'197 his applies to levies made in levy year 1977 and subsequent levy years.

Article V, Section I of House File 1475 also provides that amounts levied in excess of the -amount necessary to meet the minimum required local share shall - be deducted from the,governmental subdivision's general levy made in the following year.

Staff members and board members will be able to go to Minneapolis on July 19 to see the Minneapolis Public Library, a book bindery, etc. Bills were presented for payment. Mr. Fostervold stated that #2238 was a voided entry instead of a voided check. He then moved that the bills be paid. Second by Mrs. Reckdahl. Carried. Committee reports: Mrs. Thompson reported on the progress of the Litchfield library with regard to their new building. New London reported that they are discussing the problem of the steps to the library. Communications: The state Public Library Newsletter was passed around. The summer programs at the Willmar library for children were mentioned in it. Federal Aid Legislation: Another teletype message has been received regarding this. We have received a letter.from Senator Anderson that he has our interests in mind. The results of any voting on this were not known at this time. A workshop on performance measures for library operation will be held August 11-12. It will also be beneficial to board members. Unfinished Business: „ a. Location of a new branch -- Letters have been sent to the four towns under consideration in McLeod County. A letter has been received from Mr. Robert Weber, City Clerk in Watkins, stating that they are very interested in a branch there. Mr. Sundberg wrote him stating that the commitment for the next branch is in McLeod County but Watkins could be con- sidered in about 1979 or 1980. b. Long Range Plan -- This will be filed with OPLIC and is necessary to continue obtaini: state aid. This plan is not the final word on any project because the budget for each year will be the determining point. The plan will always be open to revision. Mr. Sander moved, second by Mr. Lund, that we accept the Long Range Plan, copies of which are on file in the director's office. Carried. r New Business: a. Staff retirement policy to comply with PERA guidelines -- Our current policy is that an employee at age 65 must retire from their full-time position, but can then work 10 to 15 hours per week if they so wish. This does not comply with the proportionate annuity plan of PERA. These employees would not be able to work after that age to receive this. This part of the program just applies to employees putting in more than three years but less than ten years. It was felt the retirement policy should be placed on the next agenda and Mr. Sundberg should prepare a statement giving our present policy and also what the staff would suggest as a new policy. Also he will check with other libraries on their retirement policy. Unfinished Business contd: c. Administration of Kandiyohi County Law Library -- Discussion was held on whether we should become involved in this. It was felt that the other two counties in CRRL should be asked if they would be interested in this type of service.
