DATE: December 7, 1979

TO: —Mayor and City Council
—-------------=--——————————------——
FROM: Kenneth B. Merrill, City Accountant

SUBJECT: Water/Sewer Rate Adjustment
---------------------- ------
The adjustment for a 20% rate increase (being in April of 1980) would reflect
in the proforma income statement as follows. It should also be noted we re-
duced the professional service amount from the proposed budget of $25,000 to
$15,000.
Sales

Other Revenue
NET LOSS
Original Proposal

$(103,611)
20% Revised &
Cost Reduction
$ 687,400
720,311
3,700
$( 29,211)
The results still include all depreciation dollars ($161,950). After review
with our auditors, the depreciation number would remain. There are several
opinions on the handling of depreciation and some neva studies about this par-
ticular issue are being conducted but as of now the depreciation expense would
remain as is.
The suggestion is to look at depreciation as a non cash flow item. In the City
of Hutchinson's case the water/sewer utility must be paying off bonds; the prin-
cipal for 1980 is $140,000. The principal amount is not a income statement item
(i.e., these dollars are not expenses of the current or any year); therefore, the
fund must generate either by profit or non cash flow expense enough cash to pay
the $140,000 principal payment.
The fund still does not show a profit even with the rate increase. Therefore,
it is necessary to look at the depreciation expense which would cause the cash
to be available for the principal payments for the year.
The cash analysis would be as follows:
Loss from Operation $( 29,211)
Non Cash Expense 161,950
Net Cash Available from $ 132,739
Operation
'his is still not enough cash to make the principal payments, but a good cash
alance is available in the fund and the payments can be made without any prob-
em.
Fund.

Park & Recreation Board
November 7, 1979 7:00 pm
The Park & Recreation Board met with "Bud" Daggett, Don Falconer, Roy Johnson, Dr.
Chernausek and Kathy McGraw present. Also present were Fred Roberts, Supt. of Public
Works, Bruce Eric8on, Recreation Director, Marlow Priebe, City Engineer, Gary Plotz,
Administrative Director, Steve Jensen, Recreational Coordinator, Bruce Peterson repre-
senting the City Council, Sherry Crawford from the Leader and Grace Sanstead, Secretary.
The meeting was opened by Chairman Daggett and the September and October minutes were
read by Mr. Daggett and approved.
The Hutchinson Youth Hockey Association was represented by President Roger Laabs and
several others including Dean O'Borsky who spoke in behalf of hockey rinks at Borth
Jaycee Park and Linden Park stating Tartan Park has become too inaccessible in the last
8 years. They also wished to have a rink at the Elementary School which is more centrally
located and would assume the responsibility of seeing Mr. Prahoda and getting permission
thru him. They stressed there would be no expense for the City at the present time as
one rink is already out of Tartan Park and the material can be used from that rink in
addition to moving one of the rinks currently at Tartan Park. They have the manpower to
accomplish this. Members of the Board pointed out the fact that a great deal of money
has been spent at Tartan Park, to which they answered the City is changing and the 3
proposed sites would be more accessible to the youth. After a great deal of discussion,
a motion was made to accede to the wishes of the association provided they do the work,
Bruce Ericson to decide on the sites, and Fred Roberts to provide the extra help needed
in moving the material. A motion was made by Mr. Falconer, seconded by Mr. Johnson, to
let the Hockey Association go ahead with the 2 rinks and accepted by the Board. Kathy
McGraw made a motion, seconded by Roy Johnson, to add the elementary rink if permission
was granted by the School Board, an -"aye" vote by all members, the Board to be informed
by a letter from Mr. Prahoda at the next meeting if acceptable.
Mr. Morrissette was asked to be present and received a plaque from the Mayor and the
Park & Recreation Board in gratitude for his 7 years spent on the Board, for which he
thanked .them and said that possibly at a later date he would like to be on the Board again.
Fred Roberts gave his report, he did not think they would be receiving as many trees
as he had requested for planting this fall. He asked the Board to put in a light for the
flag over the Old Armory so it does not have to be taken down each day. Dr. Chernausek
made the motion to allow this, seconded by Mr. Falconer, the light Fred figured would
cost between $100 and $150, an "aye" vote followed.
Bruce Ericson gave his report, they have added a "monthly calendar of events' in the
Leader which has been well received. Bruce reported that the LAWCON Grant for McDonalds
Park, Hutchinson has now been placed in group 3 on their application. The Jaycees have
the $2000 for McDonalds Park and some may be forthcoming from the Kiwanis. Gary Plotz
added some comments on parcels along the river which have been accquired. Don Falconer made
a motion to accept Fred Roberts' and Bruce Ericson's reports, accepted by the Board.
Mike McCarthy from Hutchinson and Deb Keller from Brownton, both were present and
requested other programs for teen activities. Bruce reported dances were a possibility
and Kathy volunteered to serve on a committee to look into the idea of teen activities.
Mr. Daggett adjourned the meeting at 8:45 pm, the next meeting to be held December
5, 1979 at 7:00 pm at City Hall.

Grace Sanstead, Secretary
RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT
for the Month of November
The fall leagues are now being completed and registration for winter
leagues has started. The only change in the leagues from fall to
winter has been the move of Men's Volleyball strictly to Monday
nights and the winter leagues are sactioned by the M.R.P.A. Leagues
currently in operation are: Men's Basketball, Men's Church Basketball,
Men's Volleyball, Men's Church (Recreational) Volleyball, Women's
Volleyball, Co-Rec Volleyball and Men's Broomball (scheduled to start
tonight). To accomodate those players (or teams) who like to play
more than once a week we are going to reserve Sunday evenings for
volleyball at the Old Armory. Teams will be able to make court
reservations at our office.
Our sponsorship's program has now been in effect for approximately
10 months and we have reached a total $3790.00 in sponsorship fees.
Our grand total to complete the program is $5060.00. We have $1270`00
remaining to reach our goal.
The Youth Hockey Association has moved one set of boards to Linden
Park, however, at this time they have not installed any of the boards.
Therefore, we have decided to flood the rinks at Tartan Park since",
it appears very.doubtful that the Association will get more than one
rink moved.
The Knights of Columbus contacted us about a free throw contest and we
are working with them to help make this event possible. The contest
is for boys and girls ages 11, 12, 13, and 14, and will be held at
the Old Armory on Saturday, December 8th at 2:00 pm
The McDonalds Park grant is now completed and will be submitted to fhe
State Planning Agency on Thursday, December 6th.
The Park Department has installed some window guards at the Old Armory.
This will help in reducing the cost of replacing windows which occurs
quite often.

FROM: City Engineer
SUBJECT: Agenda Item 8-B
I have reviewed -the change of status of the Neal Avenue entry with City
Attorney Schantzen. Any such change could not be made without a Public
Hearing.
I have, also, discussed the problem and concerns of the Fire Department
with Chief Schlueter and some alternative measures could or should be
done:
1. Place an additional hydrant on the East side of Dale Street
on the South side of the new entrance.
2. I am proposing construction of curb and gutter and surface
widening in 1980 on the East side of Dale Street from South
rade Road to Linden Avenue. If this is approved, it may be
advantageous, at this time, to do the same construction on
the West side of Dale Street between South Grade Road and
Neal Avenue. This would widen the surface by about 20 feet,
which would improve the ingress by the Fire Department.
3. Inasmuchas, the apartment complex will not be finished for
some time, delay the actual closing of the Neal entrance for
same time period after the apartments are occupied to study
the situation and make a final decision at that time.

SUBJECT: Demolition or Sale of House at 125 Jefferson (Proposed High Rise Site)
--------------------------------
The City purchased Lot 8, Block 15, South 1/2 City (125 Jefferson) from Mrs.
Sophie Jenike during 1978. She is an elderly lady of 87 years and part of
the purchase agreement was to allow her to reside in the house until Novem-
ber 1, 1979. The Council extended this date until April 1, 1980.
Mrs. Jenike had been waiting for a particular new apartment to be completed
as her future residence. This apartment is now ready for occupancy, and she
has moved from her house. Fred Roberts and I have walked through the house
and find that everything has been moved. Mr. Heinz Fruck, representing his
mother-in-law, has indicated the City can proceed to remove or demolish the
house.
After discussing this with Marlow Priebe, we feel it may be appropriate to
consider demolition of the structure at the same time Harold Juul is working
on demolition of another City building in the area (park project Flom house).
We understand his proposal is to take down the Jenike house for the same price
of $400, with the City responsible for disposal of the material.

SUBJECT: —Mileage Allowance ----------------------
I have recently attended a State Finance Officers Meeting (MMFOA), and our
audit firm invited me to attend a Minnesota Society of C.P.A.'s meeting on
Municipal Audit Conference. The question of mileage reimbursement rate has
been reviewed at both meetings.
The rate of 19C per mile is the current maximum allowed under current State
Statute. The law - 1979 Ch. 330 (reference State Statute 471.665 subd. 1)
replaces the 15q, with a not to exceed rate provided by the Commissioner of
Personnel for state officers and employees. The Commissioner is currently
paying the rate of 19(,'.
It is, therefore, requested to adjust our rate of reimbursement downward
from the present 20C to 19(,k per the above Statute.

APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE FROM THE UNIFORM FIRE
CODE
Applicant: Hutchinson Public Schools
Independent School District No. 423
30 Glen Street North
Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350
Building Involved: Elementary School
100 Glen Street South
Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350
To the Mayor and City Council:
Application is made for a variance from the Minnesota
Uniform Fire Code, as amended, by the National Fire Protection
Association, Section 9-3111, which states:
"Rooms used for kindergarten or first grade
pupils shall not be located above or below
the floor,of exit discharge. Rooms used
for second grade pupils shall not be loca-
ted more than 1 story above the floor of
exit discharge."
FACTS
1. The Hutchinson School Board has authorized the reloca-
tion of kindergarten, first and second grade students' class-
rooms over Christmas vacation to comply with the regulation.
After Christmas all students will be in home classrooms that
are within the requirements of the regulation and approved by
the State Fire Marshall.
2. However, these students need occasional access to
different parts of the building to support their total educa-
tional program, including the music department, art department,
primary library, cafeteria, multi-purpose area and little
theatre. These last two areas are used for physical education.
CITY COUNCIL'S STATUTORY AUTHORITY
1. Minn. Stat. 299F.011 authorizes the fire marshall to
adopt a uniform fire code. Subdivision 4 provides that the
uniform fire code shall be applicable throughout the state and
in all political subdivisions.
2. Minn. Stat. 299F.011, Subd. 5 authorizes the Fire
Marshall to grant a variance from the Fire Code after -the
local governing body has acted on the application. The School
District must initially obtain a ruling from the Hutchinson
-2 -
City Council, which will be reviewed by the State Fire Mar-
shall. The final authority to grant or deny the variance
belongs to the State Fire Marshall.
GROUNDS FOR ISSUING A VARIANCE
1. The School District Has Substantially Complied
With the Uniform Fire Code.
The students will all be assigned to classrooms that fully
comply with the regulation. The variance is sought .for the
limited periods in which the students need special facilities
or education that cannot be offered in the regular classroom.
2. The Students' Safety Will Not Be Jeoparidized By
Occasionally Going to Other Areas of the Building.
A commentary to the regulation under consideration states:
"The restrictions on the location of rooms
used by kindergarten or first grade pupils
were developed to avoid the danger of older
(and larger) children overrunning the very
young on stairs or ramps during a fire or
other incident requiring rapid evacuation
of a building. Section 9.311 also recog-
nizes that young children may need
assistance or have to be rescued."
The Hutchinson Elementary School only houses kindergarten
through sixth grade and there is a minimal danger of older
children overrunning the very young on stairs.
Because of the split level construction of the building,
the children only would have to navigate half flights of stairs
to exit, even when not on the "floor of exit discharge" or
ground floor.
To further increase safety, the School District architect
is analyzing the possibility of adding an additional exit in
the basement and extending the sprinkling system to cover the
entire basement.
3. Undue Hardship Will Result to the School District
If the Variance is Not Granted.
If the variance is not granted the students will have a
serious limitation on their education by being denied access
to portions of the building, including:
1) The Art Department
Location: basement
Frequency of use: 30-40 minutes twice a week
Special features: large room with running water
which is necessary for many art projects for
younger children.
-3 -
Alternatives: have the art teachers haul all
equipment and supplies into classrooms.
It would change the art program dramatically to accommodate
having it in the classroom.
2) Music Department
Location: basement
Frequency of use: 30 minutes twice a week
Special features: a large room with a piano
Alternatives: create a music department on the
ground floor and rent classrooms in another
district for displaced students, or squeeze
pianos in the small classrooms.
3) Cafeteria
Location: basement
Frequency of use -
a. Kindergarten: approximately six times a year
b. First and second grade: every day for 30
minutes
Alternatives: set up a mini -cafeteria in foyer
of auditorium or bus the children to the high
school and feed them there or have them bring
their lunch and eat in the classroom. The first
two alternatives will result in substantial
additional costs to the School District.
4) Primary Library
Location: second floor
Frequency of use: 30 minutes once a week
Alternatives: check out carts of books and put
in hallway.
5) Multi -Purpose Area and Little Theatre
Location: basement
Frequency of use: 30-40 minutes twice a week for
physical education to develop basic coordination
and sports skills.
Alternatives: assign kindergarten and first
grade students to main gym and deprive older
students of use of the facility or obtain
use of the old armory and dress the children
and walk them down there for physical education
twice a week.
6) Speech Therapy and Psychological Testing
Location: second floor
Frequency of use: not regularly scheduled
Alternatives: find some space on the main floor
and rent additional classroom space in another
building for displaced students.
• -4-
CONCLUSION
Resolution of the request for a variance will affect the
School District's long range building plans. If the variance
is not granted to permit occasional use of the other portion
of the building the continued use of the building as an elemen-
tary school will be seriously jeopardized.
The School District's goal is to provide all children with
educational opportunities to develop mentally, morally, phy-
sically and socially to the maximum of their individual
capacities. To accomplish this goal the students need access
to different parts of the building to support the total educa-
tion program.
The School District requests the support of the City Council
in providing the best educational program possible for the child-
ren of Hutchinson.
WHEREFORE, Independent School District No. 423 requests:
That a variance be granted to the School District from
the National Fire Protection Association Code, Section 9-3111
to allow kindergarten, first and second grade students to have
occasional access to portions of the Elementary School above
and below the floor of exit discharge.
Respectfully submitted,
Hutchinson Public Schools

Dear Sirs:
On November 7, as chairman of the Christmas Promotions, Downtown
Retail Association, I approached Chief O'Borsky regarding meter
use and patrolling during the period prior to Christmas. Somewhere
in this conversation a communication gap developed and action that
you may find premature and overriding your duties of office evolve -j
with our capping of the meters,
If this incident offended you in any manner, I offer an apology
and assurance that the Downtown Council will continue to strive
for complete cooperation with offices of mayor and council.
Sincerely,
