For these several reasons I feel that a payment of the original
assessment (of which D had never been made aware until last Ma* 25) of
$401.40 is acceptable to us. However a renalty as outlined in your letter
of May 25, 1971 infering 6 % simple interest totaling $1614.23 or the
second choice given i.e. $4.50 per lineal foot (the present rate) totaling
$1,388.25 is entirely unfair and un;iustifiable.
Thank you for giving this matter careful consideration.

Enclosed f;nd my check for.-tQ01.40 as -ayment for sanitary sewer
and water sssess?rentaFainst my,nrorerty T.ot 3 of Auditors Plat of NW- of
gection 116 North, Range 30 West.
I feel that any otherassessment is not fair or justifiable for
several reasons.
In 1961 the City of 'hztc�-,'nson needed additional property to
rebuild Lake Street between =iecond and Lewis Ave. We were asked to donate
the land they need for that Purpose. It was all taken from our property
and none from across the street to the esst. We gave this with out cost
to the city but with the -nderstanding that there would be no assessment
forstreet, curb, sewer or water at that time or in the future. It is
unfortunaire that the agreement apparently was only verbal.
Secondly, I was never advised that there had been an assessment
placed on this -ro-erty in 1960 as stated in the City Clerks Letter of
Yzy. 25, 1P71. Incidently I think you will find that the sewer was laid
in 1Q61 not 19h0.
Then too, it has been brouEht to my attenion by legal advice
that a municipality cannot begally collect a second time for sewer, water,
street or similar proiects. You are aware, I am sure, that this sanitary
sewer and water project was raid for by `)chool District #423 at least as
far as the area ortside of the city limits of Hutchinson was concerned.
The T:rorerty described above was st thQt title rart of the rural area.

District: St. Paul, Minn- Division: North Central
Type of Study: Detailed Project Report
1- Authorization: Section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act, as amended.
A brief reconnaissance report was prepared in accordance with ER 1165-2-12.
Preparation of a detailed project report was authorized by OCE on 21 Feb-
ruary 1966,
Problems and Solutions under Consideration: Inadequate channel :apa-
ci.ty of the South Fork of the Crow River causes flooding at Hutchinson,
Minn. Improvements under consideration include channel enlargement with
and without levee embankment- Recent planning with city officials lndi-
:.ates a possibility of development of a cooperative plan of improvement
teat would include utilizing a portion of street raise as a levee section.

By Division Engineer 10 May 71
4; Progress to Date: Preliminary hydrologic studies have been completed.
Topography on a recently constructed railroad spur along the west bank of
the South Fork of the Crow River below the Burlington Northern Railway
has been obtained. The new spur and other planned changes in land use
by the city now require further consideration of a plan of improvement
that would consist mainly of levees. A meeting has been held with city
officials and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to discuss
measures to mitigate loss from reduction in size of fish pond., Necessary
design modifications have been completed. Present evaluations indicate
the cost to provide an adequate degree of flood protection would be about
$2 million. Study findings were submitted to NCD for review on 2 April
1971. On 18 May 1971, the Office, Chief of Engineers, concurred in the
recommendation of the District Engineer that no further study of flood
c3ntrol improvements for the South Fork of the Crow River at Hutchinson,
Minn., be made at this time. Local interests and their congressionai
representatives will be advised on this decision.

Dear Tom,
The Council discussed the -feasibility of Hutchinson and
Glencoe employing one plumbing inspector for both
municipalities.
The Council expressed initial interest; however, since
Glencoe has not employed a plumbing inspector prior or
required a plumbing inspector other than the State Code,
we are not to well informed in this area.
Would it be possible to send us information what
Hutchinson has done in the past or proposes for the future?
Thank you.

TRITaTIVE MODEL 0RDI11NCF FOR DUTCH V111

Introduction
June 1, 1965
The model ordinance draft contained in this memoran,turr is intended to provide
the basis for a minimum Dutch Elm disease control ordinance for cities and villages.
As with all model ordinances, it should not be copied bliu-11-y but rather should be
reviewed in the light of el:isting conditions within the municipality and modified
where necessary.
T. air. Features of the Ordinance
The ordinance contemplates the inauguration of a Dutch Elm disease program,
utilizing both municipal resources and those of the Division of Plant Industry of
the Department of Agriculture. Under the Plant Pest Sontrol Act, M.S.A. 18.022 and
18.48, as amended by Laws 1965, C. 323, municipalities are authorized to levy ta_� - s
and e: -pend funds for this purpose upon recommendation of the Commissioner of
Agriculture. Such a program should be carried out undFr the general supervision, cf
the Commissioner exercised through the Division of Plant Industry. The ordinance,
therefore, requires close cooperation between the municipality and the department.
The ordinance treats Dutch Elm infestations as public nuisances and provides
for their abatement in a number of wa;s ranging from summary abatement to abatement
under the normal special assessment procedure. Procedures for protective spraying
are also included.
The responsibility for administering the program is placed on a municipal
forester (who may be any existing officer or employee) who performs necessary inspec-
tion, testing and treatment. In this connection, municipalities may wish to combing:
the provisions of this ordinance with existing nuisance ordinances or with already
existing and on-going programs of street tree care and maintenance.
Financing the Dutch Elm program is left quite flexible by the ordinance. The
cost of removal, trimming and spraying may be assessed, in the case of street trees
against abutting property owners, paid from general revenue or from special funds
produced by the 2 mill tax authorized by H.S.A. 18.022 or from any combination of
these sources.
Technical help in setting up a Dutch Elm disease program may be obtained from
the Division of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, 670 State Office Buildint-:,
St. Paul. Other helpful information is contained in the League publication: ".Dutc.:
Elm Disease Menances Municipalities: A Program for Prevention" available from the
League office on request.

A. If the forester finds that the danger of infestation of other elm trees is
not imminent because of elm dormancy, he shall make a written report of his finding,
to the council which shall proceed by (1) abating the nuisance as a public improve-
ment under Minnesota Statutes Ch. 429 or (2) abating the nuisance as provided in
Subd. 2 of this Section.

ing the original resolution with such modifications as it considers desirable and
provide for the doing of the work by day labor or by contract.
Subd. 3. The forester shall keep a record of the costs of abatements done

assessment under Minnesota Statutes Sec. 129.101 and other pertinent statutes for
certification to the county auditor and collection the following year along with
current taxes.10
Section 9. Spraying Elm Trees. Subd. 1. Whenever the forester determines

IiOt ES:
1. This ordaining clause is specified for villages; charters should be con-
sulted for variations in particular cities.
2. A policy declaration of this sort adds nothing of legal significance to an
ordinance. It is useful, however, in calling the attention of the public and the
courts to the underlying consideration motivating the council.
3. The exact location of the forester in the municipalityts administrative
framework is a matter for determination of individual councils. In most cases,
the duties of the forester could be imposed on some present municipal employee or
officer, such as a street commissioner, engineer, inspector, etc., or someone
already having responsibility for tree planting and maintenance programs. One of
the alternatives suggested here may be used by most smaller municipalities.
4. This section is necessary to clearly authorize the expenditure of munici-
pal funds for this purpose and also to make available the special financing pro-
visions of the Plant Pest Control Act. See M.S.A. 18.022, Subd. 21 3, and 4. it
may be broadened to include other plant pests, such as oak wilt.
5. The basis for proceeding against Dutch Elm Disease under this ordinance is
that the eyistence of the disease constitutes a public nuisance. The regulations
embodied in the ordinance are specifically authorized by Laws 1965, C. 323.
6. Such inspections are authorized by Laws 1965, C. 323. A "private platen
is defined by that statute as "any place other than a private home".
7. It is contemplated here that the Division of Plant Industry will be able
to diagnose the disease relatively quickly and report back to the municipality.
It may be that the Commissioner in serious cases may wish to take action himself
under M.S.A. 18.18. If this happens no further municipal action is needed since
the statute provides machinery for complete action by the Commissioner anywhere in
the state, on both private and public property. Some ordinances of this type give
the responsible official the authority to proceed in serious cases without notice tc
the property owner. There is some risk in the procedure in that the forester may
not make a correct diagnosis. Hence, the ordinance requires c onfirmat ion of the
disease by the Commissioner. If this summary power of abatement is desired, the
following phrase may be added to Section 7, Subd. 1 and Sec. 8, Subd. 1:
C. If the forester finds with reasonable certainty that immediate action
is required,to prevent the spread of the disease, he may proceed to abate the
nuisance forthwith. He shall report such action immediately to the (city)
(village) council and to the abutting property owner (or to the owner of the
property where the nuisance is located.)
S. This Section is intended to insure not only that abatement procedures are
adequate but that they comply with the latest technical requirements of the Com-
mission. See M.S.A. 18.022.
9. This Section is designed to utilize the -"current services" section of the
Local Improvement Code, M.S.A. 429.101, as amended by Laws 1965, C. 323.
10.. The council may wish to establish a policy for sharing the cost of abate-
ment with the abutting owner, e.g. municipal share 50%. property owner, 50%.
This would be an appropriate place for such a statement. Also, the council may
feel that no assessment of costs should be made. This should be expressed in a
general policy statement embodied in this or a separate ordinance.
v 11. yo penalty is attached to Section 4 (making the presence of the infected
tree a nixisanee) since it is probably not desirable to invoke a criminal sanction
to correct a condition over which thr property owner has no control. There is
ample authority in the ordinance to remove the nuisance.
12. This section states what is in effect the law for villages. The council
may wish to delay the effective date for a period after publication. Also, some
city charters may require a number of readings and a delay in the effective date.
If the charter provides for emergency enactments where such formalities are dis-
pensed with, appropriate language should be added her©..

MINUTES FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF
HUTCHINSON, AUGUST 4, 1971, 11:30 A.M.
Pursuant to proper call and notice from Mayor Kost the City Council
met in special session at 11:30 A.M., Wednesday, August 4th, 1971.
Present were Mayor Kost, Alderman Peterson and Alderman Black. Also,
present were Administrative Assistant Mealey, Superintendent Ralph
Young from Hutchinson Utilities Commission and Orville Kuikken,
Gas Service Division. Mr. Young presented the Commission's
proposal for modification of rate schedule for natural gas.
Upon questioning by members -of the Council it was determined that
the Utilities Commission had not increased rates to consumers since
the inception of the Natural Gas Service and that increases from
Northern Natural Gas , over the same span of years, have made a rate
increase adjustment necessary.
Detailed explanation of the various rates and classifications satisfied
the questions of the Council and Alderman Black moved that the rate
adjustments be approved. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and
upon being put to vote all present voted "aye". Mayor Kost thereupon
declared the motion passed.
There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting
was declared adjourned at 11:52 A.M.

Vance Zehringer, owner of the Hutch Hotel appeared before the Council to request that
some provision be made to prevent water from backing up into his building as a result
of construction damage. There was considerable discussion as to the possible cause
and the nature of the backup. Mr. Zehringer contends that a storm sewer connection
has been damaged or blocked forcing water to run under and into the building. Engineer
Priebe and Attorney Schantzen were directed to explore the situation and report to
the Council. It was agreed to hold a special meeting if necessary.
In accordance with Publication No. 1363, mayor Kost called to order Public Hearing
on Project 71-08, Storm sewer project at Third and Jefferson. Approximately 11 persons
were present for the hearing. One person stated that he was afraid that it would

any trouble. The considerable problem at the Madson Peterson Building was explained
to them. Mayor Kost inquired whether there were any objections to continuing with the
project. Three persons were opposed. The hearing was declared closed at 9:03 P.M
on motion by Alderman Linder, second by Alderman Alrick.
Mr. Gary Wetherall appeared before the Council to present his request for permission
to construct a Grain Leg for storage in the process of transshipment of grain and
possibly fertilizer behind the Coop and stated that it would be approximately 55' high.
He stated that the Railroad wants to build this structure and that it would help
alleviate some of the problems of odor and other unpleasantness in the vicinity. Mayor
Kost stated that anything he can do to help alleviate the problem would be very much
appreciated. Wetherall explained that he works on a 6 month contract with the Railroad
so he would be requesting a permit for that period of time initially, and that he
has no plans to present at this time but will bring them in for approval by the
Building Official as soon as they are available. Alderman Black moved that the permit
be granted, subject to approval of the Building Inspector and Attorney. Alderman
Alrick seconded the motion and it was carried.
Tom Harstad for Rockwell Meters was present to report on his meeting with the Chamber
of Commerce Parking Comittee. They had approved his proposal as follows: purchase
72 10 -hour meters including 4 spare meters and 5 12 -minute meters including 1 spare
meter for a total of 77 meters on a trade-in basis at $58.00 each complete including
trade-in allowance on the old Model H meters for a total price of $4,466. During
the course of discussion, it was determined that it would be necessary to budget money
for replacement of old cases. The Parking Committee's recommendation that the hours
on the meters be made uniform was discussed. Mr. Harstad advised that the price for
replacement plates would be 35¢ each. Alderman Alrick moved that the proposal be
accepted and that the plates be changed to read "9 to 5 daily except Friday, 9:00 A.M.
to 9:00 P.M." Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried.

letter of commendation.
Administrative Assistant Mealey then reported that the girls in the Clerk's office
have suggested that the Motor Vehicle Office be removed to the Bergs House which the

rental agent has asked that the space be vacated for expansion of the McCombs Knutson
office., and pointed out the financial feasibility of so using the City owned property.
Discussion on the subject brought forth the further suggestion that space not needed
by the Motor Vehicle Registration might be used for such space requirements as the
Scoial security representative, Veterans Service Officer, Food Stamps etc. thereby
alleviating the increasing demand for space in City Hall. Alderman Peterson moved
that the ground floor apartment of the Bergs House be given over to Motor Vehicle
Registration and such other purposes as deemed suitable. Alderman Black seconded the
motion and it was carried.
