We were unable to find any record of a previous Storm Sewer Assessment. As you are aware, the Storm Sewer system that has been installed does serve all the property abutting the South side of T.A. 7 West of blain Street. It is therefore permissable to assess the area for said cost. Sincerely, CITY OF HUTCHINSON Marlow V.

It is our opinion there is more work necessary to complete the rehabilitation of the structure. We therefore recommend rejecting the proposal submitted. Future alternatives: 1. Demolish and remove house structure, place roof over basement and use for storage. 2. Demolish and remove house structure and build three bedroom rambler on expanded foundation. Above alternatives could be bid on next year and then a decision made and budgeted for completion in 1978. Respectfully submitted, CITY OF HUTCHINSON Marlow V. Priebe City Engineer ns $A, (612) 879-2311 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Engineer ,f,C 0c6,�b SUBJECT: Cold Storage Building Proposals I have reviewed all the proposals and find that Nybakke Construction and Miller, Miller and Mac, Inc. have proposed to construct buildings that meet all of the specifications and exceeds same by being steel framed. , The proposals by Lester's of Minn., Inc. did not include the electrical requirements and they substituted 29 gauge roof and wall panels for 26 gauge as specified. The proposal by United Building Center, for a pole type building mets all requirements with the exception of 29 gauge roof and wall panels instead of 26 gauge - The proposal by United Building Center for a Lam -Frame structure does not meet the side wall height or roof and wall panel requirements. The proposal' by Great Plains Supply Company does not met the roof and wall panel requirements in addition to the fact they provided no bid bond or certified check with proposal. I have received additional information relative to the 26 gauge and 29 gauge roof and wall panels. I feel that the 29 gauge panels would be satisfactory. Based on the above information, I would recommend you consider awarding to one of the following: 1. Miller, Miller and Mac, Inc. for $21,000.00. Building meets all requirements and exceeds same in some areas. Would be the best overall building for the amount invested. 2. United Building Center for $16,500.00. This would be a Lam -Frame building with 14' sidewalls. 3. United Building Center for $14,500.00. This is a pole type building that would provide the storage we need at the lowest cost.

Mr. Benjamin Benjamin of 645 Franklin South recently contacted Eldon Willard regarding a building permit for the construction of a new garage on his lot (see attached illustration). Due to the fact that Mr. Benjamin's proposal did not conform with the setback requirements, his request was referred to this office for review. On August 23rd, the Administrative Assistant, City Engineer, Building Official and myself visited the site to determine what hardships might exist that would allow for issuance of a variance and/or possible alternatives. Our review of the site indicated that there are no hardships and that there are several possible alternatives which would not require a variance. Each of these alternatives were presented to Mr. Benjamin who indicated that he did not find them acceptable. At the conclusion of the visit, Mr. Benjamin was advised of his right to apply for a variance. As of this date, Mr Benjamin has not filed a variance request.

The entire program will be provided at no cost to the City. As the program does not require a financial commitment on the part of the City, Mr. Peterson stated that a formal request need not be filed. However, the City must show that it will disseminate the resultant information on a Citywide basis. There would appear to be a system available to the City in the form of the Home Rehabilitation Program that would serve this purpose and Mr. Peterson was advised of this fact. 6du ly submitted, y MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 10, 1976 1.

We note that the retirement age shall be 65 years of age, except for already authorized cases. Please advise if the persons, who are now over 65 years of age and are currently employed, are required to retire at a certain date in the future. Our legal advisor informed that the retirement policy must be uniformly applied for employees retiring from your governmental unit to qualify for a proportionate annuity. If persons who are over 65 years of age are allowed employment indefinitely, your policy will not comply with the provision that it be a uniformly applied mandatory retirement policy. If persons over 65 years of age are required to terminate employment in the near future, employees may qualify for a proportionate annuity.

I August 13, 1976 The Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Hutchinson Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 Dear Mayor and Council Members: Winthrop, Minn. 55396 East First Street 507-647-5387 The time we have long awaited is rapidly approaching. We will take possession of our new building in the Hutchinson Industrial Park on September lst, 19% and work on alterations is scheduled to start on the same date. Not too long after that we will be needing some of the help you have promised us, with man- power and equipment, for our parking lot and landscaping. If you will give' us the name of the party we should contact when this time crimes we will appreciate it. We are going to be faced with another problem when we start operating at our new location on January 2, 1977. This is the problem of transportation for our workers from downtown Hutchinson. On May 199 1976 we called Mr. Dick Brown of the Minnesota State Planning Agency in St. Paul to get started with an ap- plication for financial help from the Department of Transportation for the pur- chase of a vehicle. Shortly thereafter we learned that the City of Hutchinson was in the process of applying for vehicles for the same general purpose. With this in view we felt it would be best to coordinate.our efforts with yours and we wrote to Mr. Fl6etham on June 23, 1976 per copy of letter attached. Since then we have learned from our Hutchinson Plant Manager, Lucile Ulrich, that the City of Hutchinson may not carry through with this program. We still feel the beat approach to this transportation problem will be to coordinate our efforts with yours. However, if you are dropping your efforts in this regard we will seek approval from our Board of Directors to proceed on our own. We will ap- preciate hearing from you. We want to welcome each of you to view our alteration work while in progress and when it is completed we hope we can arrange a time for you to pay us a visit as a group. Sincerely yours, i GewKe al Manager Hands, Inc. JAK:lh June 23, 1976 Frank G. Fleetham, Jr. Clerk _Administrative Assistant City of Hutchinson 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Mn. 55350 Dear Mr. Fleetham: Winthrop, "tinn . 55396 t Vj rs;i .t r< 507--647- 'i k; We are sure you are aware that Hands, Inc. plans on moving its work center from its present downtown location at 2nd Avenue and Hassen Street to a new building located in Hutchinson's Industrial Park. Present plans call for this move being made during the month of December, 1976. The new location is going to pose a serious transportation problem for many of our senior citizen and handicapped employees because of the distance from downtown to the new location. There is no taxi or bus service in Hutchinson so some other means of transportation must be found. We have contacted Richard L. Brown, Transportation Planning, State Planning Agency, St. Paul, Minnesota in regard to obtaining a Federal Grant for purchasing a vehicle to provide the transportation we Will need. We have since learned that the City of Hutchinson is also in the process of applying, for Federal Funds for the same purpose. -With this in mind we feel it will likely be better if the City of Hutchinson can arrange for the vehicle, or vehicles, to establish a program for the transportation required by all local Hutchinson organizations. Because of the nature of our operation we are sure Hands, Inc. will qualify for Federal assistance whether we apply alone or coordinate our needs with the City of Hutchinson. However, before we can dedicate any of our surplus funds to this cause we would have to receive approval from our Board of Directors. If you need additional information from Hands, Inc. or if we can assist You in any manner please let us know. Sincerely yours General Manager Hands, Inc.
