To enable local government to work effectively with the 1979 Minnesota Tax Increment
Financing Act, a series of informational seminars has been developed by the Technical
Assistance and Research Service of the League of Minnesota Cities. Legal aspects of planning,
implementing and managing a tax increment financing district in accordance with the Act
will be the focus of this third program.
A numberof changes resulted from this Act which influence project and district formation
procedures, contracts and finances. This seminar will enable you to execute the somewhat
complicated legal procedures involved in this process. Selected legal problems associated
with this form of financing will also be explored.

it has Since been determined they are not in the floodway but e
rather in the flood fringe. The request is to build two sepa-
rate umbrella type sheds for storage of lumber which will be
located in the flood fringe.
Mr. Pat Flynn, representing the Simonson Lumber Company had
detailed plans of the proposed structures for the Planning
Commission to review.
Mr. Leo Getsfried of the DNR asked.questions concerning elevations
of the utilities and of the roof. I
On motion by Elsa Young and seconded by Bill Backen, the hearing
was closed at 7:52 P.M. The motion carried unanimously.
Marlow Priebe, City Engineer, stated the dike built in 1969 by
the core of engineers offers additional protection against
flooding.

After a very lengthy discussion, Don Erickson made a motion to
recommend to the City Council approval of a conditional use per-
mit to allow Simonson Lumber Co. to construct two independent
umbrella type buildings with the contingency that if need be
they remove the materials because of possible damage to down-
stream property owners with the notification of the Civil De-
fense Director on his discretion. Motion was seconded by Bob
Otte. Elsa Young then amended this motion to read they rec-
ommend the City Council approve the conditional use permit
to allow Simonson Lumber Co. to construct two independent
umbrella type buildings with the contingency that in the event
of a flood and with the recommendation of the Civil Defense
Officer, all materials be removed to a higher elevation or se-
cured. Seconded by Clint Tracy the motion unanimously carried.
Mr_ Pat Flynn questioned the Planning Commission to see if it
was necessary for Simonson Lumber Co. to apply for a conditional
use permit to build a chain-link fence for insurance and arson
reasons.
Building Official, Bud Willard, stated this property being lo-
cated in a IC -1 district all regulations require conditional
use permits. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission
that this pertained only to principle uses and since this was
an accessory use no conditional use permit is necessary.
(b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR "SWANSONS
ADDITION" SUBMITTED BY VICTOR SWANSON
The hearing was opened at 8:26 P.M. by Vice -Chairman Huntwor k
with the reading of the public hearing notice as published in
the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, October 5, 1979.
City Engineer, Marlow Priebe, stated minimum lot size require-
ment is 20,000 square feet and since the smallest in this case
is 31,999 square feet they meet the requirement: He then men-
tioned to Mr. Swanson that sewer and water is available to only
two lots (lots 2 and 3) so he suggested that a subdivision agree-
ment between the developer and City be drawn up as to when ser-
vice would be needed for the remainder of the lots. Also a 10'
easement is necessary rather than the 6' indicated on the map
and the usual contribution to the parks and playground will
have to be made.
Elsa Young made a motion to close the hearing at 8:36 P.M.
Seconded by Clint Tracy it carried -unanimously.
Elsa Young then made the motion to recommend approval to the
City Council of the preliminary plat to be known as "Swanson's
Addition" with the stipulation the easements are 10' rather
than the indicated 6'. Bill Backen seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: Street Improvement Assessment
Lot 1, Block 1, McDonald's 4th Addition
According to our present records, Mr. Ripperger purchased the property on
November 13, 1978.
At the time we sent original notices out for the project in December 1978,
the property owner listed was Earl McDonald. At the time that we sent out
notices for the second hearing on the project, we inadvertently missed the
ownership change and the notice was sent to Earl McDonald.
On July 26, 1979, an assessment search was requested. A copy of same is
attached. You will note that Mr. Ripperger was listed as owner and the
pending assessment was so stated. I assume he had the property for sale
at the time and is now questioning the assessment.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PERSONNEL COORDINATOR
RE: PERMAT STATUS OF LIQUOR STORE EMPLOYEE
Donald Broten has completed 6 --months of employment as
liquor store clerk at this time.
He has adjusted well to the position and his job performance
has been good. It is the recommendation of the liquor
store manager that he be granted a one-step increase and
be approved for permanent status.
Respectfully,
copy: Ralph Neumann
9-
e
To Whom It May Concern:
I understand it is budget time for the City of Hutchinson and I
would like to make my request for an increase in salary of 10% which
I feel is minimal considering today's cost of living, inflation and my
job responsibility.
Charles Bell "�2'
TO: MAYOR AND -CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 14, 1979
FROM: PERSONNEL COORDINATOR
Concerning the above request, Charles Bell -repairs meters for the
city as an independent contractor, with the expense for this repair
charged to the parking meter fund. He is not on the city payroll.
Provision was made in the 1980 budget for a 10% increase in the
cost of repairs, so the above request falls within the guidelines.
Based on charge per hour, this would be a change from $3.00/hour
(1979) to $3.30 (1980).
Recommend request be granted.

past procedure in activating the downtown Christmas
decorations.
Rather than -the traditinnai ihanksgiving night "switch
on" of lights we request a 7:00 P.M. lighting on Friday,
November 23, 1979. This would tie-in with "Downtown
Openhouse" and coordinate with a 7:00 P.M. lighting
of windows by the downtown retail district.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Skip Quade at 12:04 P.M. with
the following members present: Don Abbott, Jay Alrick, Don Glas, Dennis
Hukriede, Tom O'Connell, Bob Stearns, Marlin Torgerson and Lloyd Torgrim-
son in addition to Chairman Quade. Ex -Officio members attending were Mayor
Black, Clarice Coston and Jean Lerberg. Also attending from the HRA were
Phyllis Hegrennes and Mildred Nelson. Consultant Simonowicz, City Engineer,
Marlow Priebe, Administrative Assistant, Gary Plotz and Alderman Ken Gruen-
hagen.
Mr. Quade explained that various presentations were scheduled for today
and he began with the Levner Company.
d Levner Co.
Mr. Kenneth Levner distributed a booklet entitled "Hutchinson Elderly Hous-
ing Project". In this booklet he had sections on the project proposal,
history of his company, qualifications of the contractor, architect, financial
consultant, as well as the developer himself. Copies of letters of recom-
mendation in the booklet were pointed out to the Board. He mentioned he
had toured Park Towers with Jean Lerberg to see what had been done right and
what had been done wrong. He noted to the Board his financial reference was
good to six figures.
Mr. Bob Pope presented a design for the building. All apartments were sep-
arate from the senior citizens center. Each floor had a lounge and trash -
room. Each unit had 624 square feet. The caretaker would have a two-bed-
room unit and the senior citizens center would be 5,000 square feet.
Mr. Doug Mayo assured the Board that Mr. Levner had the ability to secure
the necessary funds. He stated he has made HUD aware of the need for funds
for the development of the land and would follow thru on this project personally.
Knutson Comaan
Mr. Kurt Glazer took over the floor stating he felt it would be difficult to
get funds for Hutchinson this year. They would agree to get a non-profit
sponsor and if they couldn't get funding under the section 8 program they
would try under the 202 program. He indicated it has been determined that
about 3,000 families in Hutchinson have incomes of about $10,000. He felt
the site could easily handle a senior citizens building but again felt
financing would be a problem. He felt a second option might be a cooperative.
He then answered various questions asked by the Board.
Mark Parranto
Mr. Parranto introduced Mr. Rick Kon of Canadian Financial who distributed
a brochure giving background information on his company. He explained the
management would be done by themselves but the City would have control over
the project by a contract. The City would have no financial interest but
control. They would open up the community room to all senior citizens of
the community.
! Downtown Dev. Boa►
.� Minutes - Nov. 20, 1979 Page 2
They would do all the processing as far as architects, contractors, etc.
Financing had not been decided on as yet.
Mr. Parranto stated if it proved to be feasible he could put this land
into a shopping center complex. Mayor Black then stated that land was
purchased with CD funds so the use is limited.
Korngiebel Architects
Mr. John Korngiebel introduced Mr. Jim Graves of Inter Financing Corp.
and Jim Haugen an architect of Korngiebel Architects. He emphasized as
the others had that the City must demonstrate the need for additional
elderly housing. He also felt the HRA should act as managing agents.
He stated they would be working with local contractors.
Update on Downtown Development
Mr. Mark Parranto felt a sizable center could be put together through tax
increment financing and industrial revenue bonds. He explained the build-
ing would be a "single load" with brick veneer, recessed lighting, carpet-
ed floors, air conditioning, etc. He has tenants signed for 6,000 square
feet and another tenant interested in an additional 6,000 square feet.
It looks like 30,000 to 40,000 square feet will be from local people.
It was determined the date of Dec. 26, is of utmost importance as this is
the date the existing Council has its last meeting. Mr. Parranto said he
will have a design of a building to present at that time.
Mr. Simonowicz suggusted that Mr. Parranto have letters of commitment for
at least half of the space. Mr. Parranto felt with such a short amount
of time, only letters of interest could be received but he agreed to do
his best.
Decision on the High Rise 0
At this point in the meeting the board had a discussion with Jean Lerberg
from the HRA as well as Phyllis Hegrennes and Mildred Nelson.
It was the consensus of the Board that two separate contractors should
be hired, one for the elderly project and one for the downtown project.
By a show of hands, the Levner Company was chosed to become the developers
of the elderly project. Mr. Tom O'Connell made a motion the Council negot-
iate with the Levner Co. a contract which would include the purchase price.
a deposit and a commitment to a community space for the elderly which will
be developed without cost to the City. Seconded by Lloyd Torgrimson, the
motion unanimously carried.
It was also suggested a response be sent to all the people who made pre-
sentations thanking them for their interest.
The meeting adjourned at 2:30 P.M.

Honorable Mayor Black and City Council Members:
CENTURY AVENUE
,7k&&son, inwota,

TELEPHONE 612/$87-2148
The governing board of the Hutchinson Community Hospital, at their November
meeting, made several recommendations to you for the purchase of capital expenditiwes.
The remainder of my letter will detail those requests and I will also be available
at the City Council Meeting to answer additional questions should there be any.
Parking Lot Repair
Portions of the bituinous surfacing on the parking lot in front of the Medical
Office Building had "broken up" this last spring. When the existing black top
surface was taken up, it was discovered that a "sand vein" ran through a portion
of the parking lot and was causing the problem. Upon recommendation of the
Contractor and the City Engineer the black top by the front door, (see
attached) was removed in its entirity along with approximately one and one half
feet of clay and sand. A class five gravel base was then installed in its place.
It was also determined at the time that bituinous surfacing would not be
sufficient to wishstand normal traffic flow with the uncertain soil conditions and
that a reinforced concrete surface must be installed. There was, however, concern
that the "bed" would not set up adequately yet this fall to be able to complete the
project.
After a period of several months ,of regular traffic flow it was determined by hospital
staff, city engineers, and Miller, Miller, & Mac, Inc. of Hutchinson that the soil
conditions were right and the project should be expedited yet this fall.
Governing Board Members of the Hutchinson Community Hospital were then polled fot
opinion and authority to proceed with the project per recommendation of contractor,
hospital staff, and city engineers. It was explained that the contractor desired
to proceed with the project within a week or two because of the- uncertainty of frost
conditions that might cause the project to be postposed until late spring:,._
At the last governing board meeting an official decision was made by the board along
with a request for me to explain to you, the City Council, the circumstances surround-
ing the project. The following is abstracted from the board minutes:
"An Equal Opportunity Employer" �—
Page lof3 A
"Parking Lot - Balke explained to the Board Members the emergency nature
of the situation. The project needed to be completed before frost set in.
If delayed until spring, ground water would be a problem that could cause
delay and unsafe conditions for patients, as well as being more costly. Motion
by Gruenhagen to confirm the decision of the Board Members when previously
polled to request approval of the City Council to accept the quote from Miller,
Miller, & Mac, of $7,550 to pave a section of'the parking lot in frong of the
Medical Office Building. Graves to inform City Council of circumstances
requiring immediate repair. Seconded by Goebel. All in favor. Motion passed."
Coronary Care Monitors
An in depth analysis was done recently in order to reach a decision about additional
monitoring equipment in our new Intensive Care Coronary Care Unit.
At present we have three "hard wire" monitors in our present five bed unit. Two
rooms are not equipped and consequently protable units have to be used on a periodic
basis. These portable units have cost the institution an additional $2,206.50 this
past year.
There are a number of inconveniences with having two and sometimes three different
systems in our new unit and consequently some problems have developed becaus.e of this.
Based on present utilization statistics it would appear that a purchase of equipment
would be justified. Two additional monitors would be paid for in approximately two
to three years based on our historical rental experience. This item was presented
to the governing board with recommendation for purchase and the following is abstracted
from the minutes:
"Cardiac Monitors - Motion by Natwick to request City Council approval to
purchase one slave scope, and two hard-wixe monitors from Abbott Electronics
in the amount of $12,747. Seconded by Mullan. All in favor. Motion passed."
The item exceeds the Minnesota State Statuate requirements which requires manditory
bidding on capital expenditures in excess of $10,000. We feel very strongly that
the item is not "biddable" because no other equipment would be compatible with the
present system. The only vendor for Abbott Electronic Equipment is Abbott Medical
Electronics of Houston, Texas. There is, of course, a branch office in Minneapolis.
Television Sets
It was the decision of the board of directors in 1978 to begin a total replacement,
plan of all television sets in the patient care areas. Presently, wd have 19 inch]
black and white units in each patient room. This system was installed in the hospital
at the time of original construction in 1970. The following motion is abstracted,
from the board minutes and is as follows:
"Television Sets - Motion by Natwick to request City Council approval to
purchase 18 Sylvania Color TV sets at a cost of $5,960 to replace current
black and white sets. Seconded by Mullan. All ini'favor. Motion passed."
Additional Electrical Generator
You may recall from a meeting the early part of October a plan was presented to
you for updating our emergency electrical generation system. At the time we
received authority to proceed with "phase one" and "phase two" of our plans and to
send a letter of intent to Buffalo Memorial Hospital to obtain a used "back-up"
generator in the amount of $13,000 when their new hospital was finished some time
Page 2 of 3
the fall of 1980. Buffalo Hospital has since countered with a fixed price of $18,000
plus transportation to the Hutchinson Hospital site.
The board of directors of Hutchinson Community Hospital felt this price to be excessive
for a used generator. We recently obtained a quotation from Cummins Diesel Sales, Inc.
of Minneapolis and can purchase a new emergency generator for $2+,000 with full
warranties. After much discussion at the board meeting, the following was recommended:
"Generator Proposal - The consensus of the Board was to not pursue further
negotiations with the Buffalo Hospital Board for future purchase of their
generator. Reasons - ai-tal cost exceeds $20,000, no warranty, and uncertain
time of availability. Motion by Goebel to request approval of the City Council
to purchase a new generator and switch gear in the approximate amount of $32,000,
and to proceed with the reaminder of the detailed emergency electrical generator
system update plan. Seconded by Gruenhagen. All in favor. Motion passed."
The above mentioned expenditures are requested in accordance with ordinance #583 which
states "The board may contract and purchase all necessary equipment, aparatus and
supplies; provided, however, and a single capital item of purchase of $5,000 or more
shall first be approved by the Council.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of the above mentioned items.
Sincerely,
Philip G

in this letter you answered the questims _3.a.sked.-'1T a latter 4 •
dated October 19 , 1979. Thank- y= -for- yn ar xpn ck • -response.
The subject of these letters was the dumping of sewage --sludge
by the City of Hutchinson on city owned land.
I must emphasize that this sludge storage -practice does not-
ha-ve .current .Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) approval.
-..3n a letter to -Thomas E. Mealey dated August 1, 1973, the
results of a VCPCA inspection of two proposed disposal sites
were pxesenteti_ _This was not an approval of either site.
�= In another letter to Thomas E: Mealey dated May 23, 1974,
it was stated that interim operation of the disposal site was
acceptable, however, continued use of the site`sas not
recommended. The City was requested to iaake__�p3.Hns• to abandon
sludge disposal at the site -and seek an.alte » area.
Emergency Resolution No. 5473 issued -by the Hutch±nzan City -
Council on April 8, 1975 approved the use of the dumping site
since an emergency existed. Pursuant to this resolution,
MPCA staff wrote the City a letter dated April 22, 1975,
stating that sludge disposal at this site should be terminated
as soon as possible.

Since the use of this particular disposal/storage site by the
City of Hutchinson appears to be a continuing practice, the

should be provided:
I. Acreage of site
2. Soil types
3. Location of site delineated on a Soil
Conservation Service Soil Survey map
4. Degree and direction of landslopes
5. Depth . to ground water table
fa . —Dep tb --to bedrock
Mistan : ter:rmeazest :
i, human dwelling
ii. residential development

V. surface waters including drainage
ditches and waterways
8- Quantity of sludge to be stored
9. When and Why Will. sludge be stored

10. Potential for runoff from the site
11. Potential for ground water contamination

trict and redevelopAent project where workshop participants will actually use the TAILS
