The Airport Board has agreed on the terms of this contract. You will notice that the compensation of the manager has been increased from $250 per month to $280 per month. In fact, this increase is simply replacement of the cost of Hospital -Surgical insurance and other City paid benefits that accrued to Mr. Ayer under his situation as an employe of the City of Hutchinson. His position will be specifically contractor performing a contracted service, rather than employee and our total cost under this rate of compensation will be very similar to the present cost. I would recommend that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to enter into this agreement on behalf of the City of Hutchinson. TEM:JMM Respectfully submitted, Thomas E.

These rules have been drawn jointly by the City Engineer, Chief of Police, and Street Superintendent. TEM:JMM Respectfully submitted, Thomas E. Mealey F yw SNOW REMOVAL RULES 1. On the first day following a snowfall snow may be deposited in the center of the street prior to the completion of snow plowing by City forces. This is limited to those areas where the City plows snow into a center windrow for pickup. 2. Subsequent to completion of snow plowing by the City, all snow shall be stockpiled on the property for later removal. 3. On subsequent days following a snowfall any snow to be deposited on the street will have to be subject to the proposed schedule of snow removal by City forces. 4. In the areas of snowplowing not windrowed for pickup, all snow must be placed outside the surfaced roadway on the boulevard of the property owner the snow is being removed from. 5. Snow removal time schedules shall be checked by the permit holder with the City Dispatcher at the Police Department. 6. Permit holders not complying with these rules and so notified shall be subject to revocation of permit. I CITY OF HUTCHINSON ,-M4XK90ta 55350 OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST December 4, 1969 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Ladder and bucket for Park department Gentlemen: The budget approved for Parks for fiscal 1970 includes $5,000 for an hydraulic ladder with bucket. The Park Board and Park Superintendent have made extensive investigation into the brands and types of equipment best suited to our needs and have come to the conclusion that the L.A. Hass ladder provides the best utility along with the best price. The price negotiated by the Board is $4,498 exchange. Since our present ladder equipment is ancient and potentially hazardous, and does not have a bucket for personnel freedom, they recommend that we accept the proposal of the L.A. Hass company of $4,498 exchange. I believe that this sum is under the statutory maximum which makes bidding mandatory. It is further recommendation of the Park Board that an order be placed immediately for the equipment to permit its effective dse during the summer 1970. The supplying company indicates that there will be about a ninety day time lapse before delivery. I concur in these recommendations. TEM:JMM Respectfully submitted, e Thomas E.

Schantzen regarding the possible conflict of interest by my working at Burns Manor and being a member of the Board, I herewith tender my resignation as a member thereto. May I express my appreciation for your past consideration. My tenure has been intere ting and enlightening. Kindest personal regards to each of you. 4Si a Yr t a ielsen In CITY OF HUTCHINSON Aif[A090ta 55350 OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST December 5, 1969 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Lowell Otto property N. E. Hutchinson Gentlemen: At your direction I had our building inspector make an evaluation of the dwelling house on the above property relative to the building code standards. He reports that it is his belief that the building has suffered distortion of its principle members sufficient to make improbable the rehabilitation of the structure to code standards. It is his further belief that the building has suffered dilapidation from neglect and inadequate maintenence. It is the belief of the Fire chief that the building, as it now exists, constitutes a hazard to public safety. Indications of rat and other rodent harborage is evident in the building and in the vicinity, which would constitute a hazard to the health of the citizens of Hutchinson. I have caused investigation to be made to determine the authority under which the building was conveyed to its present location and can find no permit or grant of authority. It has rested in its present location for nearly ten years, as best can be determined. Previous requests by the owner for permission to establish it on a foundation were denied because the property was not abutting on a public street and was not serviceable by public utilities. Under the circumstances, since the building was located without permission, since the building has suffered deterioration through neglect and inadequate maintenence sufficient to cause unreasonable hazard to public health and safety, I would think it in order to direct the City Attorney to take steps agreeable to Chapter 463 M. S. A. to effect the removal of the structure. Respe ully submjit�ted, Zley s r l'C4omasE. M TEM:JMM CITY OF HUTCHINSON (-M(11 90ta 55350 OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST December 4, 1969 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Administrative Assistant SUBJECT: Gasoline loss at bulk plant Gentlemen: Examination of the deliveries and metered use of gasoline at the bulk plant indicated an approximate 700 gallon gasoline loss during the month of November. I immediately ordered a complete examination of all the equipment to determine the cause of the loss. A loose filter was discovered and tests indicated that the loss most probably came from leakage around the filter collar. This has been corrected and it is unlikely to cause further difficulty. The examination determined that all joints and storage vessels are tight. We will continue close surveillance of the facility but feel that the problem has now shaken out.
