Rufus Alexander and Ivan Larson appeared before the Council on behalf of the Utilities Commission and presented a proposed increase in rates. Mr. Alexander explained the rate increase had been under discussion prior to the fire(s) in January; therefore, it had no bearing on the cost involved with repairs from fire damages. The rate increase was based on the use -of natural gas and would eliminate a fuel adjustment, providing natural gas continued to be available.

Seconded by Alderman West- lund, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF REPLACEMENT OF RADIO TRANSMISSION LINES During the installation of the new radio console, the technicians installing the base station discovered a potential problem with the radio transmission lines for the Fire Department and Police Department. The lines are about 15 years old, and the wires have become frayed, water logged and short out, thus reducing the capacity to transmit on the radio frequencies.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was ad- journed at 8:48 P.M., upon motion by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Peter- son and unanimously carried. -7- MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1979 A special meeting of the City Council was called to order at 8:30 A.M. by Mayor Black, with the following members present: Aldermen Westlund, Peterson, Gruenhagen and Hunt - work, in addition to Mayor Black. Absent: None. Also present were: Administrative Assistant Plotz, City Accountant Merrill, and Liquor Store Manager Neumann. The first matter of business pertained to a 30 -day option contract between the City and Walter R. and Barbara A. Teich to purchase property for a proposed liquor store site. The contract expires on July 22, 1979. City Accountant Merrill presented a report on three possible options for funding the property purchase, namely: 1) borrow from general fund to be paid back by liquor store fund; 2) contract for deed with Wally Teich; and 3) borrow from water and sewer fund to liquor store fund as an inter -fund loan. Following discussion, it was the general consensus of the Council that the Teich prop- erty should be purchased and that the value would increase during the next year. The City could make use of the landfill at this time. Liquor Store Manager Neumann pointed out the sales at the liquor store have increased 13.2% over the last year. There is a need for additional space, which would help re- duce personnel necessary to transport liquor from storage to the selling area. It was further suggested the new store be a solar building built into the existing hill. It was moved by Alderman Westlund to acquire the property from Walter and Barbara Teich in the amount of $78,000.00 ($500.00 referred from State of Minnesota), with the use to be reviewed after one year, and landscaped by City personnel if time is available, until such time as property is developed. Seconded by Alderman Peterson, the motion unanimously carried. Alderman Gruenhagen made the motion to approve a 7% interest bearing inter -fund loan from the sewer and water fund to the liquor store fund to finance purchase of said property, with principal to be paid back at the time use of property is determined. The motion was seconded by Alderman Westlund and carried unanimously. Mayor Black reported a meeting was held on July 18, 1979 with Westly Hendrickson of TKDA to negotiate an agreement for the police/fire station. The preliminary work scope was negotiated down from $20,000 to $15,000; also a stipulation of 72 hours of indi- vidual on-site inspection. It is anticipated the contract will be executed, pursuant to prior Council authorization, within one week. Alderman Peterson mentioned Mr. R. Julig had expressed an interest in the City taking an option on property he owns which lies in the proposed site for the police/fire sta- tion. It was suggested someone approach him on this matter. Council Minutes July 19, 1979 Administrative Assistant Plotz commented it will be necessary to secure appraisals on the proposed site property prior to a bond referendum. The motion was made by Alderman Gruenhagen to authorize the Administrative Assistant to have appraisalo-prepared for.Block 7, S-1/2 City. Seconded by Alderman Peterson, the motion carried unanimously. It was further moved by Alderman Peterson, seconded by Alderman Huntwork and carried unanimously, to authorize Administrative Assistant Plotz to contact Mr. R. Julig for an option contract on his property. Due to a legality whereby the advertisement for bids was not in the newspaper 10 days prior to bid opening, it was necessary to re -schedule the date for opening bids for re -roofing work at Burns Manor Nursing Home. Alderman Peterson moved to set the date of August 7, 1979 at 10:00 A.M. to open bids for re -roofing work at Burns Manor Nursing Home. Seconded by Alderman Huntwork, the motion unanimously carried. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:07 A.M. -2- AFFIDAVIT AM OVER 65 YEARS OF AGE,.AND MY INCOME IS LESS THAN $2,200 PER YEAR.

Because Second and Adams Street is of great use to many farmers, grain tracks, and employees, this improvement would benefit the city by directing traffic from the downtown area directly to the elevator. This would be especially convenient fuming the planting and harvesting times of the year. A list of people that use this road and feel an improvement is necessary has been presented to the Board of Commissioners for their consideration.

We would request that 1st Ave. S.W. be vacated in front.bf, the,DlD Armory from the alley to Franklin St. In case of rain the dance would be moved inside the Old Armory (41his has been cleared with the recreation department). We would also request prrmissa&n to use the lawn in front of the armory to serve ice cream social type refdeshments, and ask for the use of some of the City's park benches and picnic tables as Senior Citizens may find gt difficult to stand for an entire evening. The Dance will be put on at no charge to the Seniors attending so we would also request that the permit fee for this event be waived. Loa APPLICATION FOR PERMIT TO HOLD PUBLIC DANCE FEE $5.00 * 1.

He stated this type of operation would make much safer conditions for the employees. The building is located in a R-2 zone in which this type of business -is non -conforming to the zoning.

After discussion, the Planning Commission decided a conditional use permit would be required. Dan Huntwork made a motion to set a public hearing on July 17, 1979. Elsa Young seconded the motion and it unanimously carried. At this point in the meeting there was discussion among the Planning Com- mission members as to the changes that could be made in the procedures preceding a meeting to give the Planning Commission members more time for reviewal of their packet before each meeting. Another suggestion was made by Dan Huntwork that the public be made aware of the fact that whether the Planning Commission decides to recommend ap- proval of an applicants request or votes in opposition to that request they can still take their request fo the City Council -which has the power to overrule the Planning Commissions recommendation. It was decided that the secretary of the Planning Commission and Mr. Plotz should draft a letter for the public stating they can appeal to the City Council should the Planning Commission vote negative. Planning Commission July 2, 1979 Page 3 Mr.. Bob Otte explained the procedures the Planning Commission followed in a county in which he had applied for a variance in another part of the state. He felt the forms they used were excellent. It was decided he should meet with Mr. Plotz to discuss using something similar here before the next planning commission meeting. It was questioned as to who had the authority to call special meetings of the Planning Commission. After discussion, it was decided the secretary should -locate the by-laws of the Planning Commission and make copies for the next meeting. __ There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 1:10 P.M. on motion by Elsa Young and seconded by Dan Huntwork. The motion carried unanimously.

At the time those lights were installed, the city did not have the lights painted. After that five year period of time, those lights have become increasingly an eyesore and have detracted from the aesthetics of the tennis court and high school grounds. During this period of time, discussion between Brian Buchmayer and Marlowe Priebe indicated that the city would be taking care of painting those light pole standards as other contracts were put.'out on city painting projects. To this date, the work has not been done and we would therefore request that at the earliest possible convenience, the city provide the painting of those poles. If you have any questions or concerns, we are more than willing to discuss them with you. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Renewal rates have been submitted and are as follows: Carrier Old Rate New Rate Equitable Life Assurance 43C/100 52C/100 (Long Term Disability) Crown Life Ind. $ 5.90 $ 5.90 (Dental Insurance) Family 20.40 20.40 Blue Cross/Blue Shield Ind. 21.81 21.81 (Health Insurance) Family 64.28 64.28 St. Paul Life Insurance Life 40C/1000 46C/1000 (Life Insurance) AD&D 05C/1000 05C/1000 The Long Term Disability (LTD) increase from 43C/$100 pay to 52C/$100 represents a 20% increase. The change'in the Social Security caused a 12% increase in prem- iums. The net increase was, therefore, 8%. After discussing this with Ralph Westlund, our recommendation is to renew the policy. The group life increase from 404',/$1,000 payroll to 46C/$1,000 represents a 15% increase. Paul Ackland, local agent, informed me that the entire increase was due to the fact many employees fell into another age bracket (30, 40, 50, etc.), caus- ing the overall group rate to increase. After discussing this with Ralph Westlund, our recommendation is to renew the policy. We were fortunate with both the Group Health and Group Dental that there were no increases. Therefore, renewal is recommended.

Slater, Executive Director RE: IDENTIFICATION OF LEGISLATIVE ISSUES BY CITY COUNCILS The identification and discussion of future Legislative issues and policies will be a major portion of each of the fourteen 1979 fall regional meetings of the League of Minnesota Cities. We would appreciate it if you would make it an AGENDA ITEM FOR YOUR CITY COUNCIL to identify at least five major issues of importance to your city which you feel the League of Minnesota Cities Legislative Committees should discuss -when. they are reorganized after the regional meetings. It would be very much appreciated if, after you city council has identified these _issues, that the enclosed survey form be returned to the League so that at each regional meeting the Legislative issues of importance to cities can be thoroughly discussed. I would like to stress that no policy position should be taken at any regional meeting. The purpose of this survey is to determine those issues of importance to most of the cities throughout the state. Often, the interests of a variety of cities must be developed into a consensus position. At each regional meeting there will be a sign up sheet for those city officials desiring to serve on the League's Legislative study committees. Each Legislative study committee will meet four or five times during the period from November through March, and will report to the League's Legislative Committee (composed of the Chair- persons of the League Study Committees plus the Board of Directors), which will review these proposed policies and present a package of legislative items to be adopted by the membership at the 1980 annual meeting in Duluth. Please try now to arrange your schedule so that your city will be well represented at the regional meetings in your area, in order that your concerns and views relative to the legislative issues you identify can be thoroughly discussed. All regional meetings will have an afternoon session at 2:30 for an unstructured round table dis- cussion of questions of importance to your city. The 6:30 dinner meeting will be preceeded by a reception in most localities. Legislative issues will be discussed after dinner.

AN ENERGY ALTERNATIVES . iatobsons Use. Solar' For SWimming Pool As the costs of our conven- tional energy supplies increase, consumers are looking for alter- native approaches to fulfill their energy needs, RESEARCH AND develop- ment are key to the future avail- ability of energy supplies. Through these programs, ad- vanced technology has been de- veloped to harness new energy resources. We are also experi- encing new and improved me- thods for the utilization of exist- ing forms of energy. The field of solar energy has existed since day one. Schemes for harnessing the sun's energy have long been with us, but they have usually foundered because. of the ready availability of cheap, plentiful* fossil --fuels. However, as -the availability and cost of fossill fuels have changed, so have the potentials for solar energy. THE POSSIBLE uses'of solar energy are unlimited, except for the initial capital investments required on large-scale applica- tions. However, we are expern encing the use of solar energy for heating water and for residential heating. In 1977, Mr. and Mrs. Jon Jacobson of Fleming Route, Ait kin, Minn., members of Mille Lacs, Electric Cooperative, Aitkin, installed an 18,000 -gallon swimming- pool adjacent to their home. The past winter they bei gan investigating the possibility of heating the water in thepool to allow them to comfortab yl use the pool in early spring and late fall. COST ESTIMATES associated with heating an outdoor pool with electricity or fossil fuels were extreme. Their ultimate decision was to use solar energy. Aside from assistance in de- signing .the system,, Jon was responsible for installing it. Solar -panels installed above the roof of the house serve as the collectors. A water -antifreeze solution is circulated through the panels, absorbing the solar ener- gy as it moves on to a storage system in the basement of the home. ,RURALDIINKS0. .s VOL. 31, NO Alexandria, Minn. 56M This private backyard swimming pool is the Jacobson family's alterna- tive to a second home at the lake. It certainly is an attractive addition to their home as well. JULY, 19" THE STORAGE system in- cludes two 265 -gallon 'tanks. Each tank has four separate coils installed within. The tanks are filled with water which ser- ves as the heat storage element. The coils in the tanks are sealed, so that the fluid passing through the coils cannot mix , with tie storage water. The solar -heated solution is _circulated from the roof panels to the storage tank, where it flows through the primary coil near the bottom of the tank. Through a process of conduction, the coil. is heated as the solution passes through the coil. The heated coil, in turn, heats the storage water surrounding the (Continued'On Page 15) Jacobsons use solar 40 for swimmirtg pool (Continued From Page 1) A REVERSE process takes place as the stored heat energy is to be utilized. The other coils placed in the storage tanks are used to complete the heat trans- fer operation. Water from the swimming pool is pumped through two of the coils. Because the storage water in the tank is heated, the coils are also heated. As the water from the pool cir- culates through the coils, it picks up heat and is put back into the pool as heated water. The coils that remain will be used to supplement the heating of domestic hot water, and possibly contribute to the heating of the Jacobson residence. THE SYSTEM does have the necessary safeguards along with the flexibility required for it to be used for more than simply heat- ing water in the swimming pool. Jon has seriously been consider- ing installing large below -grade tanks that would provide addi- tional storage capacity. With the aid of the solar sys- tem, the Jacobson family and friends can now enjoy use of their pool for as much as six months of the year, instead of only three or four. And at the same time, their solar system will contribute to the other heating needs'of the home, thus conserving conven- tional energy supplies. — By Noel A. Jones, Member Services Director, Mille Lacs Electric Cooperative; Aitkin, , Minn. The 12 solar panels installed on the roof of the Jacobson home have a total area of approximately 200 square feet. Jon allowed for the installation of additional panels if needed. July, 1979 — Rural Minnesota News —15 The storage tanks located in the basement area of the Jacobson home are thoroughly insulated now to provide optimum efficiency of the storage sys- tem. TO: Hutchinson City Council FROM: Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce FOR YOUR INFORMATION (612) 87S -60 Be it resolved that the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce not oppose the action of the City Council to issue industrial revenue bonds for the construction of the Hutchinson Mall south of town. However, be it further resolved that the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce expects that the City Council support the development of the downtown retail business environment and show this support with action. The Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce recommends the following: The Hutchinson City Council -- 1. a. Take action immediately to purchase the property that will provide off street parking, directly behind retail establishments, on both sides of Alain Street. b. Begin immediately to excavate and install the tarred parking facilities landscaped with trees, planters, etc., implementing the council adopted formula for off street parking. 2. Implement increment taxation or other means to develop unusable empty facilities on Main Street to make it possible for owners to provide a first class retail facility. 3. Adopt a downtown theme/decor and a. Implement that theme in the park and the off street parkins with attractive visual settings. b. Develop an incentive plan for present store owners to upgrade the outside (front or back) of their stores, paralleling the remodeling with the city adopted theme.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION The Hutchinson Safety Council met June 25, 1979, at 12:00 noon as the Prairie House in Hutchinson, MN. 11 members and 1 guest were present. The meeting was opened with a silent prayer by president Myron Jobnson. The May minutes were approved as read. Joyce Rix presented a $3.60 postage bill and this was approved by motion. Out guest was introduced, Carol Schmidtbauer, who is the police bike safety patrol officer for this summer in Hutchinson. Old business: Fair booth -:Letter from fair board statedwe will have the same location at no charge to us. We will confirm this by their form letter sent to us. We all expressed our appreication for this no -charge booth. A youth traffic safety project questionaire sent from the TSN Safety Council was forwarded to the police department and they will fill it in and forward to the,council. Left turn discussed and more on this from the the police department at a later date. Regarding the rocks under the new bridge, the city crews are working on them and removing them. Jim Hassl announced he attended the awards night and accepted the Hutchinson Outstanding Achievement in Safety Traffic Award and the plaque was placed in the city hall. The 'Vial of Life packet is available to all at theSenior Citizens office in the Old Armory building. New business: Jean Lerbers stated due to new construction the alley behin �h�en'tal office, (on 2nd. Ave. SW , between Franklin and Glen), to Park Towers, will be opened. There will be more traffic congestion and a. safety hazard to the Park Towers residents who walk through that area. The Planning Commission has approved it, but it is objected by the Park ewers residents. A discussion i'ollowed. The !potion was wade and seconded that we write to and recommend to the City of Hutchinson and the City Engineer to not provide a alley from Park Towers to 2nd. Ave. SR, the reason being pedestrian ;gaiety for the elderly Park Towers residents. Our guest, Carol Schmidtbaiier, spoke* on the bike safety patrol programs that she is conducting in Hutchinson. It includes, hike licensing, bike safety, riding violations, like safety seminar for violators and giving of tickets to violators. She will be here until September on the bike patrol grant program an4 will also be at the fair booth to give out information. The meeting was adjourned by motion. The next meeting will he July iii, at the Prairie douse, in Hutchinson. Treasurer's Report: Balance on wand June 1, 1979 81.62 Deposits none Disbursements postage -J.

I recommended this for the same reason, a savings in Capital Costs. Due to the size of pipe we required, we saved approximately 50%. Marlow V. Priebe City Engineer PV attachment Buriedpipeprovides cost-effective backwash water storage East Peoria, Illinois, put 96 -inch pipe two feet under to hold backwash water for metering into sewer system. When state and federal water quality standards tightened to the point of ban- ning direct discharge of filter backwash water from its water treatment plant, the North Tazewell Public Water Dis- trict serving East Peoria, Ill., had to find another way to dispose of the wastewater. The District decided to run the filter backwash water through its sewage treatment plant. However, due to the high flow rates required during back- wash cycles and the limited capacity of most sewers, flows had to be equalized by providing some type of interim stor- age or holding capacity. After rejecting a proposed surge basin as too costly, the District asked Randolph & Associates to come up with alternatives. We considered everything from a fab- ric -lined lagoon to a below -ground swimming pool to a buried railroad tank car. We settled on a 96 -inch pipe to store the backwash water, an alterna- tive whose capital costs were a full 205/r, below the $74,779 low bid for the con- ventional surge basin. Aside from the lower initial cost, pipe storage of water plant effluent carries a lower annual operations and mainte- nance cost since it eliminates the need for pumps and pump controls. And since the system is almost completely under- ground, it provides other advantages: ■ Reduces maintenance due to weather extremes ■ Minimizes vandalism and the need for security, safety measures ■ Adapts to most environments and permits use of surface land for parking lots, tennis courts, parks, playgrounds and the like ■ Eliminates possible odor, icing, noise and insect problems ■ Requires less frequent cleaning. The North Tazewell Public Water District consists essentially of a subur- ban residential and commercial area with about 3000 service connections. By R.M. Randolph, President and R.B. Helm, Environmental Engineer, Randolph & Associates R.F. Wheeler, General Manager, North Tazewell Public Water District, East Peoria, Illinois Discharge to sanitary sewer controlled by electric butterfly valve in control. The water treatment plant can produce up to one mgd of potable water, treated by two wells, forced draft aeration and filtration through 12 sand pressure fil- ters, each six feet in diameter. After the initial design — a deep con- crete basin to store the backwash water and allow for proper equalization — was discarded, the concept of linear pipe storage struck us as the most cost-effec- tive of all the alternatives we consid- ered. For one thing, material and in- stallation costs do not increase proportionally with pipe storage capac- ity, and we found that there existed an optimum pipe size which results in the project of least total cost. Secondly, there would be no need for discharge pumps, which, in the surge basin design, would have added $5200 to the total cost. Valves, gates and con- trols cost $7000 more for the pipe stor- age project than for the surge basin design. But the price for the actual storage vessel was some $14,500 cheaper in our proposal, and there would be t less capital cost involved for manholes and connecting pipe. The overall capital cost for the pipe project was $61,022, nearly $14,000 less than the initial pro- posal would have cost. There were some initial de- sign and operational agree- ments to be worked out with the Water District before plans were drawn up. All backwash flows were to be metered at the water treatment plant, and the City -` of East Peoria imposed certain discharge limitations in an ef- fort f fort to accomodate its sanitary sewer system hydraulics and a downstream pump station t Backwash rate per filter was to 07� be 420 gpm, and each filter was to be backwashed for 15 min- utes. The District agreed to backwash no more than nine of its twelve filters per day, and to backwash all filters no more often than once every 48 hours. Finally, we could discharge was- tewater from the pipe to the sewer at a rate of -65 gpm on the aver- age, and never at a rate higher than 90 gallons per minute. There was one unusual problem en- countered in the project design. The backwash wastewater had been dis- charged to a 12 -inch sewer that also served as a storm sewer for the treat- ment plant's parking lot, building downspouts and other surface drainage. There were no city storm sewers near the plant, and the city would not allow surface drainage to enter its sanitary sewer system. Rather than build an additional, sep- arate discharge system, the District agreed to forego backwashing during storms, and we designed an electrically operated sluice gate into the system, at the outlet manhole upstream from the storage pipe. The presence of the gate allows the operator to select a position either open to the drainage ditch and closed to the pipe storing the backwash water; or open to the pipe and closed to the drainage ditch. The sluice gate ac- tuator includes light position indicators which the operator in the plant's filter room can see from his location at either of the manually controlled backwash valves. In order to meet the controlled dis- charge rates, a control manhole was built into the system at the outlet end of the storage pipe. The manhole includes an electrically controlled butterfly valve which can operate in three positions — closed, intermediate (average discharge rate) and open (maximum discharge rate). The valve is operated at a remote station, and it has light position indica- tors next to the sluice gate controller at the water treatment plant. And, in case the butterfly -valve failed, the control manhole also features a three-inch by- pass loop to accomodate close to the 65- gpm average discharge. In practice, the operator has found the system easier to run by keeping the bypass valve open all the time. The elec- trical valve is open fully only for about five minutes at the start of each back- wash to improve flushing of the storage pipe. Normally, however, it remains closed. For each of the two backwash water lines that serve the filter banks, there are flow rate indicators and totalizer meters with remote readouts. These de- vices provide a basis for computing the user charge paid to the City of East Peo- ria, and they also improve the opera- tor's ability to control the backwash cycle. The site chosen for the pipe project was several blocks north of the treat- ment plant. That place also served as the site of both the District's wells and a park that is part of the Fondulac Park District system. The site's topography and the location of the city's sanitary sewers influenced the storage pipe's configuration in two important ways. The depth of the outlet sanitary sewer would only permit a pipe diameter of up to approximately ten feet in order to continue to permit gravity flow with some two feet of cover over the storage ide particles might be expected to settle out and build up in the pipe. Some settl- ing would occur, we found, but the mate- rial would remain in a gelatinous form that could be washed out easily — and with a garden hose, not the fire hose we had originally anticipated would be necessary. Cleaning is necessary twice a year. The 20% savings in capital costs was, in the end, partly offset by about $9000 worth of redesign and planning work, not to mention the cost to the environ- ment caused by a nine-month delay in receipt of the sluice gate. But we feel the project has shown clear technical ad- vantages. Compared to conventional rectangular storage basins, the pipe is easier to install and maintain. And the optimum pipe size can be mathemati- cally determined to find the project of least total cost. The system has been operating with- out significant • attention or problems since its start-up in September, 1977. We are very pleased with that kind of operational experience. The project also demonstrates the need for a thorough analysis of alternatives in the concep- tual stage. On small projects like this one, designers often tend to rely on tra- ditional solutions without considering creative alternatives. The pipe storage project proved that such alternatives deserve attention on any project, irre- spective of type or size. an For a free copy of this article, circle 167 on Reader Service Card. pipe. Secondly, a drainage swale at the upstream end of the proj- ect location constricted the amount of space available for laying the pipe to less than 150 feet. With these limitations in ` mind, we analyzed the economic relationship between pipe stor- m , age capacity per unit length and t r L the total cost of the installed ' pipe per unit length. The opti- mum pipe size, according to this ' analysis, was 66 inches in di- ., ameter. But because the drain- age swale would not allow for " the length of 66 -inch pipe we would have had to put in place, we settled on 96 -inch pipe. ,- Ironically, the problems with the drainage swale disappeared when the property owner adja- cent to it agreed to let the con- _.. , Y tractor fill on his property. Had this concession been made ear- lier, the limitation on pipe stor- age length would have been re- moved, which may have re- - - - - sulted in a more cost-effective pipe storage configuration.
