City of Hutchinson Dear Members: On November 21, 1969, the City was served with a Summons and Complaint in the above entitled law suit. It is alleged that the City's Municipal Liquor Store sold liquor to Theodore Jaskowiak, Jr., a minor, and as a result thereof, he bacame intoxicated and drove a motor vehicle which was involved in an accident resulting in the death of one igorrrnan Steen. The decedent's 'iei rs have sued the City alleging damages of $125,000. The City's liability insurance has coverage up to $100,000, however, the City would be liable for any excess over the $100,000. We have received a letter from the insurance carrier, Medallion Insurance Group, copy enclosed, advising us of our liability in this matter �4e will be representing the City on the excess liability. It is expected that this natter will probably c.o►lie up for trial on the Spring Term of Court. Very truly yours, KEEFE, SCHANTZEN & BRADFORD Milton D. Schantzen MDS : s b Eric. MILAA CITY OF HUTCHINSON ,-MIRAC90ta 55350 OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST January 7, 1970 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council FROM: Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Actions of the Park Board Madam and Gentlemen: The Hutchinson Park Board, at their regular meeting of Monday, January 5, 1970, increased the charge for interments at Oakland Cemetary from $60.00 to $75.00, effective January 15, 1970 and ask your concurrence of this action. According to Superintendent Roberts, the charge for interments has remained at $60.00 for over ten years. Since the charge is to pay for excavation and preparation of grave for graveside services, filling and sodding, assistance in setting headstone, and perpetual care, I would believe that this is a reasonable action. The Board also established a policy of payment in advance for interments. From time to time there has been some difficulty resolving payment for interments. Since the Cemetary is not operated as a revenue producing facility, we are not in a position of being able to establish a credit policy nor pay for collection services. I would think this a reasonable policy which will clarify procedures and aid the Park Superindendent in keeping the Cemetary records up to date. I would recommend concurrence of both these actions of the Park Board. Respectfully submitted, homas E.

A SOCIAL ENGINEER OF HUMAN RFSOURCES- The Community School Director is the man at the helm of after-school activities. While working in harmony with his principal, he is subject to the principal's authority. In most schools he is a part-time teacher, who begins his day at noon, and continues through the evening hours. It is his responsibility to know the children and the families living within the realm of his particular school. He must know the needs of the com mnity, and the human resources available within the community and the city at large. Moreover, he is enthusiastic, understanding, ingenious, and self-reliant. Through his per- sonal efforts, the evmmunity school director discovers the needs of his coamiunity, and then attracts people and provides programs within his school locality to satisfy those needs. He becomes involved in the areas of juvenile delinquency, adult education, area improvement, enrichment courses, senior citizens, retraining for job upgrading, inter -racial harmony, recreation and service organizations for students and adults. The range of their work includes the establishment of senior citizens' clubs in their school, organizing deterrents to juvenile delinquency in the form of various youth activities, increasing safety at busy intersections, and a variety of other projects essential to community improvement. The basic obligation of the senior high school commmmity school director is to make his facilit es available to the entire community. He must not, however, attract men and women from the "feeder" schools at the lower educational level, for the neighborhood school is still the keynote of his endeavor. He can request that the junior high school Advisory Council assist in scheduling.his program, in order that there might be better coordination of subject matter and activities. The junior high school community school community director is assisted by his Advisory Council in learning how he can serve the community to the fullest, and how he can serve the "feeder" schools, which, in this case, are the elementary schools. The junior high community school director becomes more involved with the community than does the senior high school director, because of the role played by some directors in the "dual schools" -- those which combine elmentary and junior high under one roof. The elementary school director represents the heart of the co>maunity school concept. He introduces parents to the after-school program, as their children begin school for the first time. It is his duty to inform parents, involve them, and get them into the school. He is the school director who "takes the people from where they are, discovers where they went to go, and then helps them to arrive at their destination." It is possible in schools without the community school concept to have a dynamic after-school program involving many people, but this is the exception. In order to develop a far-reaching program, a community -centered school demands a full-time director. He must understand his community, know its resources, translate needs into fulfillment, and, finally, merge the activities and the community into a unified force. lZee�ieafi�K bummer PrograRb-- Joe Youmans, Larry Gig elaygrounds-- Mrs. Sylvia Altmeyer, Mrs. Clifford POPP,.
