storage purposes, however he spoke with the applicant/owner today and he has indicated that there is
a very good chance that the entire property will be used for storage use. However, it was noted if the
use of the property would change at all, the applicant would have to come back for another CUP.

John Olson, Public Works Manager, presented before the Council. Mr. Olson reviewed the
pavement management program which is a program to keep inventory and condition information
relating to the City's street system. The City's goal has been to maintain a pavement condition
index score of between 65-75 out of a possible 100. The most recently completed physical survey,
which is completed every three years, of street conditions resulted in a PCI of 71 for the street
system. The estimated budget for maintaining pavement is estimated at approximately $2.35

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 2014
million. The Capital Improvement Plan is used as a tool to identify potential projects. Mr. Olson
provided a report on the City's pavement management, the pavement condition index, project
alternatives for pavement maintenance, project development, other factors, data analysis & budget
recommendations and recommended projects.
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
11. NEW BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF WAYFINDING SIGNAGE PROPOSAL
Dan Jochum, Planning Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Jochum explained that as part of
the downtown master plan, one of the priorities from the plan was to incorporate
wayfinding/gateway signs. Staff has solicited proposals from three companies on a
wayfinding/gateway sign master plan for Downtown Hutchinson. The top-ranked proposal came in
from Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. with a proposal price of $18,750. Mr. Jochum noted that HKG
Inc. completed the last two Downtown Master Plans for the City and staff felt that they would
provide the best value. Discussions are being held with the EDA Board and Chamber Board on a
possible cost share with the City for this project. Council Member Czmowski asked if any of this
work could be done by staff. Mr. Jochum explained that staff does not have enough knowledge in
this type of work, which is in large part landscape architecture. Funding for this project will come
from the community improvement fund.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Forcier, to approve retaining services of Hoisington Koegler
Group, Inc. to prepare wayfinding/gateway signage master plan. Motion carried unanimously.
(b) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF RENEWING THE CITY'S THREE-YEAR
CONTRIBUTION TO THE HUTCHINSON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Mayor Cook explained that three years ago the City approved contributing $15,000 per year to the
Center for the Arts (CFA) to support them with their programming and other efforts. With 2014
beim the last year in the contribution cycle, Mayor Cook is suggesting that the Council consider
continuing to contribute to the CFA. The CFA is working with many different organizations and
supports multiple venues of art in the community. The CFA breaks even with the contribution from
the City. This contribution would come from the community improvement fund.
LuAnn Drazkowski, President of CFA, explained that the Center has been engaged with the Charter
School and High School, as well as a retired art teacher. One of the goals for 2015 is to strengthen
teen arts and will be creating a teen board.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Cook, to approve authorizing $15,000 annual contribution to
Hutchinson Center for the Arts for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Motion carried unanimously.
(c) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF REVISING RESOLUTION NO. 13873 — A
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FUNDING FOR PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION
Mayor Cook explained that a revised Resolution has been distributed this evening. Mayor Cook
explained that in 2011 the City adopted a Resolution authorizing funding for public arts projects
allowinu up to $15,000 to be budgeted annually in the capital projects fund to be utilized on public
arts projects. Since 2013 the Public Arts Commission has been sponsoring the Sculpture Stroll
which runs about $7000/year. There has been discussion of adding pieces to the sculpture stroll
occasionally as well which will bring more costs to the program, such as purchasing pieces that are
awarded a "people's choice award". In an effort to help the Public Arts Commission plan for their
programming and recognizing that allowing funds to be set aside will more easily facilitate future
public arts projects and help leverage donations and grants, Mayor Cook is proposing to keep the
annual budgeted amount at $15,000 and allow unused money to be carried forward from one year to
the next up to a maximum amount of $30,000. The City Council would have to approve any pieces
of public art that are purchased with these funds. City staff is proposing that these funds come from
the community improvement fund. Mayor Cook suggested that the Council and the Public Arts
Commission hold a workshop early next year to talk about various things, including the
Commission's goals. The Council discussed how art, and the Sculpture Stroll, bring benefits to the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 2014
city.
Council Member Forcier suggested that if the Public Arts Commission wants to purchase a piece of
art, perhaps the board should come before the Council on a specific project since there is a funding
source that has been designated. Mayor Cook spoke about the benefits of having specific dollars set
aside and designated.
Tom Wirt presented before the Council. Mr. Wirt explained the importance of having community
contributions when it comes to grant applications. Grant boards look favorably on organizations that
have monies set aside for projects.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Cook, to approve amending Resolution No. 13873 authorizing
$15,000 to be budgeted annually in the Community Improvement Fund public arts projects.
Council Member Arndt commented on building art he has noticed in South Dakota, Iowa and
Missouri. He suggested perhaps more building art could be incorporated in Hutchinson.
Motion carried unanimously.
(d) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF SETTING CITY OF HUTCHINSON HOLIDAY
PARTY
Marc Sebora, Interim City Administrator, requested that this item be tabled until further details can
be finalized.
Motion by Forcier, second by Arndt, to table this item to December 9, 2014. Motion carried
unanimously.
(e) DISCUSSION OF REVISING ON -SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE FEE
Marc Sebora, Interim City Administrator, noted that a workshop was held on September 9, 2014, to
discuss various items related to the City's liquor ordinance. One of the items that had come out of
the discussions was the on -sale intoxicating liquor license fee and a request by the license holders to
lower the fee.
Mayor Cook suggested that perhaps if the on -sale intoxicating liquor license fee was reduced,
perhaps the clubs could be encouraged to obtain on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses and operate as
restaurants since there have been issues with clubs not operating as a true club, as in serving to
members only, when it comes to liquor sales. Mayor Cook suggested that perhaps if changes would
go into effect with liquor license fee changes, the changes go into effect in 2016 to allow time for
establishments to plan. If it can be done, Council Members Czmowski and Forcier suggested
adjusting the fees for the 2015 budget. The suggestion is to reduce the on -sale intoxicating liquor
license fee to $2000. The hope is that the clubs would obtain an on -sale license so as not to continue
with enforcement issues.
Marc Sebora noted that this revised amount will be included on the City's 2015 fee schedule.
(f) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF SETTING CITY OF HUTCHINSON 2015
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING FOR JANUARY 2, 2015
Motion by Arndt, second by Forcier, to approve setting City of Hutchinson organizational meeting
for January 2, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Council Member Czmowski asked if the Charter could possibly be
revised to loosen this requirement, especially when the first business day falls on a Friday after a
holiday. Motion carried unanimously.

City staff has continued to work with AMERESCO on the project design development and contract preparation for the

Center for the Arts, serves as a member of the City of Hutchinson Tree Board and was a past Jaycees
Water Carnival Commodore. Corey also participated in the Blandin Leadership Program and Blandin

Sincerely,

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM:
A public hearing has been set to review the debt refinancing of the Second Century Housing senior living facilities in
six cities, including the facility at 945 Century Avenue ('Project"), Hutchinson, MN. Other cities include Le Center,
Lake Crystal, Mapleton, New Richland and St. Peter.
In 2006, each of the six cities in which a facility is located entered into a joint powers agreement pursuant to which
Lake Crystal issued the Prior Bonds to finance the Project. Hutchinson received a $12,000 administrative fee for
issuance of the Prior Bonds.
While the six cities are conduits for the financing of health care and multifamily and assisted living housing
developments, the debt does not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the City of
Hutchinson, except the Project at 945 Century Avenue and the revenues to be derived from the Project.
A representative from Ecumen will be available to provide an explanation of the refinancing and to answer any
questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Administrator, Marc Sebora, City of Hutchinson
FROM: Trudy J. Halla, Briggs and Morgan, P.A.
DATE: November 19, 2014
RE: City of Lake Crystal, Minnesota Housing and Health Care Revenue
Bonds (Ecumen — Second Century Project), Series 2014A (the "Bonds")
On August 16, 2006, the City of Lake Crystal ("Lake Crystal") issued its $9,755,000
Housing and Health Care Refunding Revenue Bonds (Ecumen — Second Century Project) Series
2006A (the "2006 Bonds") to refinance six senior housing/assisted living facilities at the
following locations: 175 East Derrynane Street, Le Center, Minnesota (26 units), 945 Century
Avenue, Hutchinson, Minnesota (42 units), 511 West Blue Earth, Lake Crystal, Minnesota (24
units), 206 Third Avenue NE, Mapleton, Minnesota (18 units), 113 First Street SW, New
Richland, Minnesota (19 units) and 700 Knight Street, St. Peter, Minnesota (42 units)
(collectively, the "Project"). The Project was undertaken by Second Century Housing, a
Minnesota nonprofit corporation (the "Borrower"), whose sole member is Ecumen, a Minnesota
nonprofit corporation. The 2006 Bonds were issued under an Indenture of Trust dated as of
August 1, 2006 between Lake Crystal and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the
"Indenture") and a Joint Powers Agreement among Lake Crystal and each of the other cities,
including, Hutchinson, in which a facility was located. Hutchinson received a $12,000
administrative fee in 2006 relating to issuance of the 2006 Bonds.
Ecumen would now like to take advantage of lowering interest rates to refinance the 2006
Bonds. To accomplish this Ecumen proposes to have Lake Crystal issue a series of additional
bonds under the Indenture in an amount not to exceed $8,500,000 (the "2014 Bonds") to refund
and redeem the 2006 Bonds. Because the 2014 Bonds will have a final maturity longer than the
final maturity of the 2006 Bonds (April 1, 2041 instead of September 1, 2039) and because a
portion of the Project financed with the 2006 Bonds is located in Hutchinson it is necessary for
Hutchinson to hold a public hearing with respect to issuance of the 2014 Bonds. We have made
arrangements for publication of the notice of public hearing to be published in the Monday,
November 23 edition of Hutchinson Leader. A resolution for consideration by the Hutchinson
City Council at its meeting on December 9 is included with this memo. If it is adopted we will
need a certified copy but Hutchinson does not need to sign anything else. The 2014 Bonds will
6794845v1

Member - Lex Mundi, a Global Association of Independent Law Firms
BRIGGS AND MORGAN
be issued later in December. The Borrower will pay any costs and expenses of the City for
review and adoption of the resolution.
The 2014 Bonds are a conduit financing authorized by Minnesota Statues, Chapter 462C.
Lake Crystal is a conduit issuer and the money and obligations now only between U.S. Bank, as
trustee, and the Borrower. The 2014 Bonds and the resolutions adopted by Lake Crystal and
Hutchinson will recite that the 2014 Bonds, will not be payable from or charged upon any of
either City's funds, other than the revenues received from the Borrower under the Loan
Agreement between Lake Crystal and the Borrower which revenues are pledged to the payment
of all of the bonds issued under the Indenture. Neither Lake Crystal, Hutchinson nor any of the
other cities where the Project is located is subject to any liability on the 2014 Bonds. No holder
of the 2014 Bonds will ever have the right to compel any exercise by any municipality of its
taxing powers to pay any of the principal of the 2014 Bonds or the interest or premium thereon,
or to enforce payment of the 2014 Bonds against any property of any municipality except the
payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement. The 2014 Bonds will not
constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of any
municipality. The 2014 Bonds will not be a moral obligation on the part of the State or its
political subdivisions, including any municipality, and the 2014 Bonds will not constitute a debt
of any municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation. The
issuance of the 2014 Bonds will not affect Hutchinson's credit rating on bonds it issues for its
own municipal purposes. Hutchinson will not be required to provide any continuing disclosure
or arbitrage calculations regarding the 2014 Bonds or the Project.
I hope this brief memorandum provides adequate information for the City to give
approval to holding a public hearing so the financing of the proposal can proceed. If any
additional information is needed, please contact Trudy J. Halla at 612-977-8513. Thank you.

Hutchinson City Center (111 Hassan St. SE) ♦ City Council Chambers
INTRODUCTION
The City of Hutchinson would appreciate the opportunity to review the upcoming 2nd Avenue SE
Reconstruction project with you. At this time, project construction is anticipated to start in the
spring/summer of 2015. The intent of this meeting is to provide a general project review and discuss the
preliminary roadway corridor layout. There also will be some initial information provided regarding
potential property assessments associated with this project.
PROPOSED PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS
The project area consists of the 2nd Avenue SE corridor from Main Street (TH 15) to about 150 LF west
of the 2nd Avenue bridge. This street has been identified as needing repair by the City's Pavement
Management Program. Per City staff's review, this roadway is being selected for improvement during the
2015 construction season based on the current pavement condition index rating and the timing of the most
cost-effective improvement method. At this point, this proposed project is only being considered and is
subject to not being addressed this coming construction season depending on City Council approvals and/or
City funding limitations.
The proposed project consists of proposed reconstruction of the existing roadway surface/section, limited
utility (water & sanitary sewer) replacements/upgrades, limited drainage/storm sewer improvements,
draintile installation, signing/striping, street lighting, sidewalks, trails and restoration. In regards to project
financing, a portion of the proposed work required to accomplish this extensive project may be funded by the
City's Municipal State Aid allotment, however, the remainder of the work will need to be funded by City
bonds, utility funds and/or property improvement special assessments. At this point, the proposed project
area has been established, but the details of the anticipated improvements are subject to change depending on
public, City Council and staff input.
HEARINGSTROCESS
This Neighborhood Meeting is the first step in the process. This meeting will be an informal discussion
regarding the project that allows City staff to communicate preliminary information regarding what the
project is proposed to include and to provide a preliminary estimate of specific property assessments to
property owners. This informal discussion will allow individual questions/comments to be heard and for a
general review of the project to occur prior to the first official hearing required by the formal project
assessment process.
The first official hearing, the Public Hearing, is scheduled to occur at the December 9t" City Council
meeting (6:00 PM). This meeting will be televised and is the formal presentation of the proposed project to
the City Council. Public input time is included and welcomed at this meeting. Approval at this hearing does
not mean that the project will be constructed as presented. This will be the point at which a formal decision
will be made by the City Council as to whether or not City staff should continue the special assessment
process and move on to the next step of completing the project plans/specifications with the understanding
that actual construction bids for completing the work will be requested.
The second official hearing, the Assessment Hearing, would be during another City Council meeting after
receiving the bids (most likely in late March or April). City staff would prepare final assessment amounts for
each property, and mail them out in advance of the meeting. At this hearing, property owners will then be
given the opportunity to comment on the merits of both the project and the proposed amount of the
assessments. Questions, thoughts and concerns regarding the project or associated assessments would be
heard by the City Council, and official action on whether or not to award the project work for construction
would be taken. To formally contest an assessment, a written/signed objection letter must be provided to the
City Administrator prior to or at the Assessment Hearing. This action then allows you, the property owner,
to appeal an assessment to District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by serving notice
of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Administrator within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment
(typically the Assessment Hearing date) and filing such notice with the District Court within ten days after
service upon the Mayor or City Administrator.
ASSESSMENTS
As described above, this project is considered to be a partial reconstruction project, thus a portion of the total
cost of these improvements will be assessed to the adjacent private properties per the City's Special
Assessment Policy. The anticipated assessment amounts/approach appears to be consistent and fair with
respect to past City improvement projects. Per currently identified funding sources and the recent
assessment calculations, a significant portion of the overall project cost will still be incurred by City
Municipal State Aid and bonding funds.
At this time, City staff estimates that adjacent properties' assessments will include all or a portion of the
following items:
• General Assessment - $65 per lineal foot of roadway frontage (established partial reconstruction rate)
• Water Service Assessment - none
• Sanitary Sewer Service Assessment - none
• Commercial/Industrial Water Service Assessment — none
At the above identified rate, a typical 66' -wide residential lot would incur an assessment of $4,290.
SCHEDULE & CONSTRUCTION ITEMS
As previously mentioned, construction is anticipated to start in the spring/summer of 2015. The project
should be completed within one construction season (weather dependent) excluding final paving and
potentially some turf restoration work. At this time, we encourage adjacent property owners to plan for the
relocation of irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, personal landscaping features, etc. from the roadway
right-of-way (typically extends 15' from the street edge). Also, project staff will be contacting specific
property owners to request permission (right -of -entry form) to properly construct a grading match to your
lawns/driveways/landscaping features, address tree replacements and/or install utilities.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please feel free to contact Kent Exner/City Engineer at 234-4212 or kexnerkci.hutchinson.mn.us if you have
any questions, comments or concerns that you would like addressed. City Engineering Department staff
would be willing to meet at your property to further discuss the proposed improvements.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

RE: Public Hearing for Automatic Water Meter Reading Implementation Project
DATE: December 9, 2014
City staff will be providing an overview of the potential Water Meter Reading Implementation Project to the
City Council at your December 9th meeting. In order to better facilitate our discussion, the below summary of
the current situation, project benefits, estimated costs and funding alternatives has been prepared.
Current Situation
The City water metering infrastructure currently consists of approximately 4,812 meters that range in sizes
from 3/4" to 6". The age of the existing meters ranges from relatively new (limited number of recently built
residential/commercial structures) to older than 1983 (estimated number of 852 meters). Per City staff's
analysis of available records, we estimate that 82% (3,970 meters) of our existing meter inventory was
installed in 2000 or later. Please note that the industry standard for optimum meter lifecycle is 15 years.
In late 2009, the Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) requested proposals for the installation of
Automatic Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with new electric meters. Approximately $194,000 of HUC's total
contract amount is the cost ofthe Sensus AMI system "backbone" (towers, interface, software, etc.) that could
be utilized for other meter reading services. In 2010, HUC and the City entered into a telecommunications
agreement that allowed the Water Department to utilize their installed AMI system following the payment of
an established contribution amount of $58,200. This arrangement allows the City to ultimately install a water
utility automatic meter reading (AMR) system at a very competitive total cost.
City Water Department staff has been reviewing the potential of upgrading our existing meter reading
operations to an automatic system for several years. Fortunately, the City has had two very reliable part-time
employees to address our monthly handheld meter reading process. However, one of these employees
recently indicated that he would like to resign from this job in the near future. Thus, the consistent staffing of
these positions has again become a concern.
Also, due to the age of most of the City's currently installed water meters, City staff believes that replacing
the existing meters sometime in the future would be in the City's best interest. Please note that compiled
meter age data seems to support the assumption that the City is not currently accounting for all of the water
being produced, distributed and consumed via our systems and that replacement ofthe majority ofthe existing
meters would be justifiable and economically beneficial. However, at this time, City staff has determined that
installing an AMR system to address water meter reading improvements/issues is the current priority and will
not impact future determinations regarding water meter replacements.
Automatic Water Meter Reading Implementation Proiect Benefits
City staff has identified several tangible and intangible benefits of implementing a water utility AMR system
as noted below:
• Estimated labor and vehicle cost savings of over $60,000/annually
• Reduced carbon footprint by eliminating vehicle use for monthly readings, customer change read-
outs and follow-up/missed readings
• On -demand reads available to staff to monitor water usage, resulting in less customer service calls
and field reads
0 Potentially provide customers with a web -portal for use data and billing
• Proactive approach to customer leaks, meter inaccuracy and high bills
• Identify distribution system water loss issues
• Historical consumption data (even hourly possible)
• Baseline comparisons by customer type
• Conservation rate structure applications (interval changes or peak use monitoring)
• Potential irrigation restrictions/ban enforcement
• Substantial personnel and vehicle use savings
• Potential utility billing process streamlining (less paper -intensive & personnel savings?)
• Elimination of Water Meter Reader positions and the concerns related to consistently filling them
Related Information
For your information, City staff has attached two articles from the American Water Works Association
(AWWA) publication which elaborate on several benefits of implementing automatic meter reading and
advanced metering infrastructure.
Other Cities' Feedback
Recently, City staff researched the meter reading applications being administered by surrounding Cities and
other Sensus customers:
• North St.Paul — implemented Sensus fixed -base system on two water towers over three-year
timeframe (about 5,000 meters)
• Melrose — implemented Sensus fixed -base system over three-year timeframe (about 1,500 meters)
• Faribault — recently implemented Sensus fixed -base system over several years
• Blaine — Sensus fixed -base system fully implemented
• Crystal - Sensus fixed -base system fully implemented
• East Grand Forks - Sensus fixed -base system fully implemented
• Mound — Sensus drive-by system fully implemented
• Rockford - Sensus drive-by system fully implemented
• Rogers - Sensus drive-by system fully implemented
• St. Cloud - Sensus drive-by system fully implemented
• Cologne — Sensus handheld system being utilized
• Waite Park — Sensus handheld system being utilized
• Willmar — currently utilizing a drive-by system, but planning transition to Sensus system
• Marshall - currently utilizing a drive-by system, but planning transition to fixed -base system in
12-24 months
• New Ulm - currently utilizing a drive-by system, but planning transition to fixed -base system in
12-24 months
Please note that several communities communicated that they are aware of the advancements in and benefits
of fixed -based technology, and that they hope to review the implementation of this type of system in the near
future.
Estimated Costs
Based on recent feedback from a potential vendor and installation labor projections, City staff currently
estimates the project costs to be as follows:
• Materials/Equipment - $615,000
• Engineering - $31,800
• Contribution to HUC Existing AMI System - $58,200
• Projected Installation Labor - $20,000
• Total Project Cost - $725,000
Funding Alternatives
As reviewed by the City's Resource Allocation Committee, the funding of this project could be addressed
through a variety of funding sources as described below:
• Water/Wastewater Funds budgeted capital outlay amounts (delay water tower rehabilitation and
sanitary sewer main/manhole lining projects)
• Water/Wastewater Funds cash reserves

AMI BENEFITS
An AMI system may benefit a utility finan-
cially by increasing revenue and cutting
operating costs. Collected revenues may
increase because of more accurate meters
and ready detection of theft and fraud.
Cost- are reduced by eliminating meter -
reading expenses and reducing the need
to "roil a truck" to address customer ser-
vice requests. AMI benefits include
■ revenue optimization. Utilities that
replace their water meters usually see
revenue increase from improved meter
accuracy. AMI also helps a utility iden-
tify meter tampering and service theft,
improve billing performance, and
refine rate structuress.
■ customer service. AMI can radically
change the mariner in which a util-
ity communicates with its consumers.
By proactively communicating leaks
or abnormal usage patterns, the utility
can engage the customer by providing
detailed data and resolve usage or bill-
ing issues quickly with minimal effort.
e operational efficiency. AMI is an invalu-
able asset management tool for a water
utility, providing data to help iden-
tify and prioritize projects to improve
water accountability, drive conservation
programs, and manage and maintain
meters and distribution system assets.
AMI FOR SMALLER UTILITIES

as large utilities, but such concerns can
be more difficult to overcome. For imple-
menting AMI, these include
■ lack of resources—funds budget con-
straints, staff to manage deployment
and operation, information technology
(I'I') infrastructure to handle the data
■ fear of risks—financial stability of ven-
dors, technological obsolescence and
interr►)erability issues, uncertainty and
variability of benefits
Today, such small -system challenges
can be combated with new AMI deploy-
ment strategies. The metering industry has
consolidated, which has reduced the risk of
techrx>k*;ical obsolescence or a small utility
being left without support for its AMI sys-
tem. Many utilities tackle AMI implemen-
tation with existing staff, whereas others
outsource system deployment. Regardless,
by rapidly implementing AMI throughout
an entiresystem but paying fors over time,
a utility can pay for the depktymem out of
operational cost savings.
An AMI system will generate large vol-
umes of data that need to be properly
managed. Now a utility can use cloud -
based meter data management software
and be relieved of having to hire expensive
IT personnel and equipment. Moreover,
adopting such management software min-
imizes concerns related to backups, soft-
ware upgrades, and server maintenance.
DATA CONSIDERATIONS
As water utilities plan for AMI deployment,
they should concentrate on data acquisition.
However, that's only the fust step in trans-
forming a utility's culture and processes.
Once acquired, the data must he prop-
erly managed. This entails warehousing the
data in a reliable, accessible database that
12 Optk)w November 2014
2014 0 American Water Works Association
wwrv. awR2.orgf opflow
crn integrate with other systems used by
the utility. Today, this can easily be accom-
plished with software -as -a -service nxodels
that are readily available to any utility.
The final step in the data process is
ensuring the utility's meter data manage-
ment system can identify trends; send
alerts as needed; and provide meaning-
ful, customizable reports to help the util-
ity solve critical challenges. Such systems
should continue to evolve and improve as
a utility's needs change.
HEW AMI AND AMR OPTIONS
If you operate a small or mid -sired water
utility, there's a Fair chance you haven't yet
made the AMI leap, as AMI market pene-
tration is still relatively low. You may be
considering risks such as data security,
capital outlay, mstomer dissatisfaction, etc.
So you've waited, and nonrevenue water
has continued to increase, labor casts have
risen, and a younger generation of home-
owners is wondering why they can adjust
their thermostat from a different time zone
on their smart phones but can't quickly
find out how much water they've used
during the Last three months.
Perhaps you haven't made the leap
because you thought AMI is an all -or -
nothing proposition. Today's AMI sys-
tems, though, come with options that
were unavailable just a few years ago. For
example, you can partially deploy AMI
systems, mixing them with older AMR
devices. Partial deployment is an attractive

option as part of a trial program to verify
the technology and benefits or to manage
your capital investments.
You can also deploy along customer
segments such as laundromats, car
washes, plant nurseries, and other water -
intensive businesses. You can deploy
For just your largest customers. You can
deploy geographically where buildings
are older and leaks are more likely to
occur. Or you can deploy according to
a fixed capital expenditure scheme, for
example, upgrading 5 percent to 7 per-
cent of your meters each year. You can
also mix systems from different vendors.
Not long ago, this option was impossible.
Because AMI is suitable For water as
well as electric and gas data reporting,
AMI deployment offers opportunities to
partner with and share capital and oper-
ating expenses with your local gas and
electric utilities. Collectors --the devices
that receive the wireless data From one
area (such as a neighborhood) and for-
ward the data to the utility's enterprise—
can be installed on water towers or other
high assets. You can also invest jointly in
collection points that can work simultane-
ously with water, gas, and electric utilities.
LOOKING AHEAD
Today's collectors are far more reli-
able and maintenance -free than those
in years past. For example, at United
Water, headquartered at Harrington Park,
NJ., some collectors have ram for years
without a reboot, reflecting significant reli-
ability improvements. The company has
five different AMI systems deployed in rari-
ous business units around the United States
and is deploying AMI in its service areas
where the company owns regulated utili-
ties as part of major infrastructure invest-
ments. United Water also offers expert AMI
resources to its partner municipalities.
For those stili unsure about deploying
AMI, consider installing convertible AMR -
to -AMI transmitters on your meters. Even
if you don't set up cotlectors now for AMI,
you will in a Few years. And when you do,
install high-resolution meters, because if
you have the ability to read hourly flow
rates—or even consumption levels every
15 minutes—you'll have a meter that can
give you that level of precision.
AMI is the future, and new deployment
options are available for any utility size.
The benefits and cast savings for AMR and
AMI are proven. It's time to figure out how
to get from where you are now to where
you want to be in the coming decades.

AMI Paves the Road to
Smart Water Use
In 2010, the Madison (Wis.) Water Utility had a decision to make. The
device it had been using since the 1970s to record home water use was
being discontinued. It was time to find a new way to read meters, and that
meant big changes were in store. BY ROBIN PIPER ANO MIKE SCARPELLI
OR DECADES, Madison a year. When it carte to data collection, how much water was being sold to its
Water Utility relied on three billing, and conservation, the utility customers on a monthly basis. Plus,
technicians to read meters at lagged behind other utilities and major residential leaks went unnoticed
every home and business twice didn't have a good way to determine For months.
LEAK DETECTION
IT'S WHAT YOU DON'T SEE THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS
The stories have kept coming in to Madison Water Utility: a broken
showerhead spewing water in an unoccupied apartment, a silently
running toilet, a burst nose gushing water in a backyard.
According to customer service representative {CSR} Sherri
Becker, they all say the same thing: "ft's impossible. There's no way
that much water was used. I would have noticed.'
CSR Pam Mousley sends customers continuous -use letters,
which are based on hourly meter readings transmitted to the utility's
new Project H2O wireless meter -reading system that show unusu-
ally high continuous water usage for at least three consecutive
days. 5o far, more than 1,000 fetters have been sent to customers.
Before Project H2O was implemented, marry customers didn't dis-
cover leaks until they received their six-month billing, according to
Mousley.
WHEN A LETTER ISN'T ENOUGH
Mousley recalls a Friday afternoon when she spotted extremely high
continuous water use at a Madison home. Mousley worked late and
contacted the homeowners by phone.
Initially, one of the homeowners said there was no sound of
water running, and the meter was behind a basement wall panel,
so it was impossible to see the usage being recorded. He was
skeptical anything was wrong, Mousley told the homeowners they
24 Opflow• 312y 2014
were using 45 gal/hr a week ago but were now using 145 gal/hr.
After checking outside, one of the homeowners reported a hose on
an outside spigot had burst, leaking water into the yard.
When customers open continuous -use letters, skepticism is
often the first reaction. For example, after receiving a continuous
use letter, Madison Water Utility customer Tim Mofrissey thought
there couldn't be any water running overnight, However, after looking
around the house, he found the culprit—a toilet with a worn-out rub-
ber gasket in a rarely used part of his home.
GRATEFUL CUSTOMERS
Customers sometimes notice high usage on their own. A customer
called to say her bill seemed unusually high, but she couldn't fig-
ure out why. Suspecting a leak, Becker encouraged the customer to
check shower and laundry usage by writing down before and after
numbers from the meter. Once again, a quietly running toilet was
the problem. The customer was able to fix the leak and apply for a
utility leak credit to reduce her bill.
Since AMI implementation, Becker, Mousley, and other Madison
Water Utility CSRs have received frequent thank yous.

TIME FOR CHANGE
After examining available options, water
utility officials decided to adopt a cutting-
edge advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI), including communication mod-
ules that wirelessly transmit water usage
data to the utility. The meter -reading tech-
nicians would be trained to service the
new meters. With the technology, the
utility would be more efficient and could
detect leaks more readily inside custom-
ers' homes and in the water distribution
system.
By automating collection and anal-
ysis of water -meter reads, the AMI sys-
tem would allow the utility to eventually
move to monthly Frilling, effectively man-
age conservation initiatives, and improve
metering accuracy. In addition, the AMI
system would improve customer service
by reporting consumption in gal instead
of ft3, making bills easier to understand.
Customers would also be able to view
their hourly water usage online.
The utility adopted an aggressive
timeline for installation and began noti-
fying customers in February 2012 that
Project H2O was under way. The AMI
system would be installed in every
home in Madison. Unfortunately, util-
ity officials didn't anticipate customer
pushback.
Rl\'R'.1R'LYi.[lr�[]pt�11 W
PUBLIC RELATIONS CHALLENGES
Customers told utility personnel they
didn't want this technology in their
homes. Customers who conducted Inter-
net searches for "smart meters," also
known as AM systems, found everything
from health concerns to conspiracy theo-
ries. By early July, a group of citizens had
filed a petition with the Public Service
Commission of Wisconsin asking for a
halt to installing smart meters in Madison.
At the time, the utility had little infor-
mation available for concerned custom-
ers. Because it hadn't anticipated these
concerns, the utility needed to find a way
to communicate accurate information to
its customers.
Health Coricems. The utility started by
addressing health concerns. AMI devices,
which nut on two A -cell batteries, are usu-
ally installed in a home's basement and
emit low-level radio frequencies (RFs) for
a total of about 15 secomis/day. At the util-
ity's request, Public Health Madison -Dane
County (PHMDC) examined the RF emis-
sions and reported they were far lower
than RFs emitted from outer devices, such
as laptops, cell phones, and microwaves.
Finding little in the way of health risks,
PHMDC s report supported smart -meter
installation and use. The report calmed
most customers' fears.

Opt -Out Pollcy. To allay the fears of
remaining skeptics, the utility formu-
lated and presented to customers an opt -
out policy, such a policy had never been
implemented in Wisconsin. The policy
allowed customers to pay a one-time fee
to have the smart meters installed outside
their homes or pay a monthly fee to opt -
out of the system altogether. The Public
Service Commission of Wisconsin passed
the plan in October 2012.
A NEW ERA
Now, with Project H2O nearing comple-
tion, more than 67,000 customers—about
99 percent—have the AMI system. Less
than 1 percent have chosen to not have
the new meters installed. After years of
lagging behind, the utility leads the way
in AMl technology.
As Project H2O winds down, Madison
Water Utility is focusing on the future
and additional opportunities made pos-
sible by the AMI technology. The util-
ity is already alerting customers to
major residential leaks as early as three
days after usage begins to spike. Since
the project started, the utility has sent
more than 1,000 continuous -use letters
to homeowners alerting them to possi-
ble leaks (see It's What You Don't See
That Causes Problems, page 24). By late
2014, customers will be able to track
their own daily or hourly usage online
through the utility's website. The utility
will roll out monthly billing by the end
of 2014.
The AMI system has opened the door
to a new era of conservation for Madi-
son Water Utility. But the lessons learned
from Project H2O will stay with the utiI-
ity long after smart meters fade from the
headlines. It always comes back to getting
out and engaging customers, doing the
best job to educate them about what the
utility is trying to do and getting the mes-
sage out. There are a lot of lessons to be
learned from Project H20, including what
worked well and what could be done bet-
ter next time.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON
2015 COMPENSATION PLAN
RESOLUTION ADOPTING POSITION CLASSIFICATION
ASSIGNMENT TABLE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the existing classification of positions
for the City of Hutchinson and the current economic conditions,
BE IT RESOLVED, that a Position Classification Plan is hereby adopted. All positions
covered by this Resolution shall be grouped in grades having a definite range of difficulty
and responsibility. For each position there shall be a title; and there shall be shown
examples of work which are illustrative of duties of positions, as well as requirements as to
knowledge, abilities and skills necessary for performance of the work; and a statement of
experience and training desirable for recruitment into a position.
A. Plan Objectives
• To establish and maintain a compensation plan that enables the City of Hutchinson to
be highly competitive within our defined market.
• To lead or exceed the market in attracting and retaining qualified, reliable and motivated
employees who are committed to quality and excellence for those we serve.
• To ensure, subject to the financial condition of the City, that employees receive fair and
equitable compensation in relation to their individual contributions to the City's success.
• To follow the principles of pay equity in establishing and maintaining pay relationships
among positions based on the categories of the Stanton Point Factor System.
• To ensure program flexibility necessary to meet changing economic, competitive,
technological, and regulatory conditions encountered by the City.
• To balance compensation and benefit needs with available resources.
B. Plan Structure
The compensation plan specifies salary range minimums and maximums. The intent of
each salary grade is to fall within 80% and 115% of identified market for positions within the
grade. (See Attachment B)
Each numbered pay grade in the basic table consists of the following:
1. Salary Minimum: The lowest amount paid to an employee in a specific job
grade or class. No employee will receive less than the minimum rate. (80% of
market)
2. Salary Mid -point: The middle of the salary range. (97.5% of market)
3. Market Rate: The market rate represents the competitive rate for an employee who
is fully functional within their current position. (100%)
4. Salary Maximum: The difference between the salary market rate and the salary
maximum represents merit pay for employee performance above that expected of a
particularjob. No employee will be paid above the maximum of the salary range.
(115% of market).
C. Open Salary Range
The City shall adopt an Open Salary Range compensation plan that will allow for maximum
flexibility and in -range salary administration since there are not defined or pre -calculated
"steps". Employee movement within the pay grade range to which their position is assigned
is based solely on performance. The open salary range concept rewards good and
exceptional performers and advances employees to the market rate more quickly. (See item
H. [4])
D. Position Classification Assignment
The assignment table shall assign all of the various positions in the Position Classification
Plan to the appropriate pay grade (See Attachment A).
The City Administrator and Human Resources Director may jointly approve a
reclassification of a position provided the reclassification does not exceed two grades
upward or two grades downward from the current pay grade. To initiate consideration of
this type of reclassification, the department director shall submit in writing the specific
reasons for the reclassification.
Any changes to the classification of a position of more than two pay grades shall be
approved by the City Council. Requests for reclassification are normally brought before the
Council each January, and at other times of the year, as needed. To initiate such a
reclassification request, the department director shall submit a written request for
consideration to the City Administrator and the Human Resources Director. The request
shall include a description of significant or considerable changes to the position that warrant
a reclassification. The City Administrator and Human Resources Director will determine if
the reclassification request is to be forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
E. Allocation Of New Positions
When a new position is created for which no appropriate description exists or when the
duties of an existing position are sufficiently changed so that no appropriate description
exists, the City Council, after recommendation of the Human Resources Director, shall
cause an appropriate job description -specification to be written for said position.
F. Pay Grades
1. Exempt Employees
Each position is assigned a pay grade. The normal beginning rate for a new
employee will be the minimum rate. After satisfactory completion of twelve months
probation, an increase may be granted as warranted by the annual performance
appraisal. Thereafter, consideration for increases may be given annually on a
standardized date established by the City. The City Administrator reserves the
discretion to adjust individual rates within the assigned pay grades as required. The
Council will determine any pay increase for the City Administrator.
2. Non -Exempt Employees
Each position is assigned a pay grade. The normal beginning rate for a new
employee will be the minimum rate. After satisfactory completion of twelve months
probation, an increase may be granted as warranted by the annual performance
appraisal. Thereafter, consideration for increases may be given annually on a
standardized date established by the City. The City Administrator reserves the
discretion to adjust individual rates within the assigned pay grades as required.
3. Police Patrol Positions
The position of full time police patrol officer is assigned to Grade 5 on the pay plan.
Temporary assignments will be made from these positions as needed for the
investigative function for the department. With said assignment, there will be an
additional $200.00 per month premium on top of the employee's patrol officer pay
grid assignment.
4. Part -Time Liquor Store Clerk, Part -Time Custodial and Part -Time Compost Site
Monitor Positions
The part-time positions of liquor store clerk, custodian, and compost site monitor
have been placed in separate pay plans that recognize the specific industry labor
markets in which they work.
The City Administrator and the Human Resources Director, as directed by the
Administrator, shall maintain the discretion to hire at any point within the range based on the
qualifications, experience, market conditions or other relevant factors, to secure the best
candidate for the position.
G. Apprenticeship Program
The City has implemented an apprenticeship program for those Water and Wastewater
Department positions subject to identified employee development including required
licensures/demonstrated skills, experience /longevity, and maturation in a position that
directly affect the department's ability to deliver municipal services.
H. Performance Evaluations
1. For all regular full time and part time employees, a performance appraisal or
evaluation will be made on, at minimum, an annual basis and per city policy No.
3.08. An evaluation made by the employee's supervisor shall be submitted in writing
to the employee and to the City Administrator/Human Resources Director. All
evaluations will be forwarded to Human Resources for filing in the employee files.
2. Evaluations shall be based upon the performance of the individual in the position
measured against established job performance criteria. Such criteria may include
level of knowledge, skills, ability, and quality of work, personal work traits,
compliance with established City or departmental rules and regulations or any other
criteria that is indicative of performance.
3. The performance appraisal process is the application of performance standards to
past performance. In appraising an employee, these are the basic levels of
performance:
Outstanding - Performance is exceptional in all areas and is recognizable as being
far superior to others.
Exceeds Job Requirements - Results clearly exceed most positions requirements.
Performance is of high quality and is achieved on a consistent basis.
Meets Job Requirements - Competent and dependable level of performance.
Meets performance standards of the job.
Needs Improvement - Performance is deficient in certain area(s). Improvement is
necessary.
Unsatisfactory - Results are generally unacceptable and require immediate
improvement.
4. Results
The results of the employee's evaluation will normally have the following effect on
his/her salary per the following Merit Increase Guide:
Merit Increase Guide for Open Salary Ranges
Achievement Level
*Compa-ratio refers to the location of the individual in the range relative to the market.
Merit/performance increases for eligible regular full time and regular part time
employees will be effective on the first date of the first full pay period commencing
on or after March 1, except for newly hired employees. For 2015, the effective date
is Sunday, March 1, 2015. New employees are eligible for consideration for a
merit/performance increase after one year of continuous employment, generally, the
first year anniversary date. In subsequent years, eligible employees will be eligible
for consideration for the merit/performance increase as specified previously and at
the discretion of the department director. Application of merit/performance increases
for employees appointed to the position of full time police patrol officer is subject to
collective bargaining.
5. Market Conditions
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, the City Council retains the right to
deviate from the pay plan when, in the sole judgment of the City Council, market
conditions or other circumstances dictate such a decision.
The City Administrator and Human Resources Director maintain final approval responsibility
for salary increases.
I. Annual Market Adjustment Consideration
As part of the budget preparation process, an annual market adjustment, expressed as a
percentage increase, is recommended to the City Council for review and consideration for
approval.

employee(s) will be increased to the newly established minimum rate effective January 1St
