ORDINANCE NO. 414 (Text Attached) The next agenda item to be considered was the recommendation of Engineer Priebe and Superintendent Roberts for purchase of equipment for the Street Department as follows: Austin Western Grader, Model 300 Bid: $ 31,337.00 Trade allowance 5,657.00 Net cost 25,680.00 Total cost $ 27,720.00 Michigan Loader, Model 55 Bid $ 30,935.00 Trade allowance 7,500.00 Net cost 235435.00 Total cost $ 25,200.00 to be paid at the rate of $770 per month for 36 months to be paid at the rate of $700 per month for 36 months Alderman Linder moved that the recommendation be accepted'and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to enter into purchase agreement with Road Machinery and Supplies Company in accordance with their proposal.

Alderman Linder seconded the motion and vote having been taken, it was carried. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 3 MARCH 14, 1972 Administrative Assistant Mealey presented the recommendations of the Park and Recreation Board for purchase of a used school bus owned by Ray Clemenson for the purpose of carrying playground activities to the various parks and playgrounds of the City each summer. The activities would be scheduled so each neighborhood would be able to plan for its appearance. Mr. Mealey explained that other jurisdictions have demonstrated that more children are better served in this manner than through the practice of attempting to induce all arts -crafts -playground activity to one park. He further reported that the price for the bus is $300; that Alderman Linder has examined the engine and found it to be good. Since no passengers would be carried under any circumstances in this vehicle the tattered interior would be no drawback, all fixtures to be removed. Mr. Mealey reported that there is $305 left in the playground allocation of the current budget which would provide enough to buy the bus and secure license plates for it. Additional personnel would not be needed with this program since it is staffed at North Park. A number of questions were asked concerning the details of the operation and Administrative Assistant Mealey elaborated upon the plan to retain individual unfinished projects identified, in the bus to be worked on from week to week until completed along with supplies and equipment for arts and crafts. He further stated that the program would not be started until school is dismissed for the summer. At the termination of discussion, Alderman Westlund moved that the bus be purchased and program established as outlined. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and it was carried, by affirmative vote of all members present. At 7:45 P.M. Vice President Black called to order public hearing for proposed improvement project 72-26 as advertised in publication no. 1422 in accordance with Minn Stats:429, and called upon Engineer Priebe to outline the proposed project which he did do. There were approximately 13 persons present. A petition was received from the property owners on Lewis Avenue containing 24 signatures, representing 15 properties, stating that they do not want the improvement. A lenghty and detailed discussion ensued involving all aspects of the work proposed. The residents were assured by the City Engineer that sewer and water installations are not considered necessary, that specifications have not yet been drawn up for final determination of street width, and that property owners would be given every consideration in the matter of cutting the curb and gutter lines into their properties. Everyone having been heard that so desired, the hearing was declared closed at 8:27 p.m. on motion by Alderman Linder, second by Alderman Westlund. At 8:28 P.M. Vice President Black called to order public hearing for proposed improvement project No. 72-05 as duly advertised in publication no. 1418. Approximately 9 people were present. Engineer Priebe explained and outlined the project as proposed. Most of the questions concerned placement of curb and gutter and costs. Alderman Black explained that work done along the school property would be borne by the City since it is considered parkland. Engineer Priebe explained that on corner lots where work is done on both sides, only the long side is assessed for street, but both sides are assessed for curb and gutter. The hearing was closed after all interestered persons had been heard,at 8:45 p.m. Regular COUNCIL MEETING 4 MARCH 14, 1972 At 8:45 P.M. Vice President Black called to order public hearing for proposed improvement projects 72-03 and 72-04 as duly advertised. Three people were present for these hearings. There was considerable discussion about the need for the work and the benefit derived from it. All three parties having been heard out, the hearing was declared closed at 8:58 p.m. At 9:05 P.M. Vice President Black called to order public hearing for proposed improvement project 72-06 as duly advertised. Two interested persons were present. Don McKimm expressed his strong opposition to the project. He pointed out that the area is not developed and the road as proposed would serve no immediate purpose. He felt that there will be plenty of time before the plat is sufficiently developed to warrant street installation. It was suggested that a gravel surface would be enough until there is a more firm indication of development. All persons having been heard on this project, the hearing was declared closed at 9:25 p.m. At 9:25 P.M. Vice President Black called to order public hearing for proposed improvement project 72-21 and 72-22, inasmuch as the same property owners are involved with both projects, both projects having been duly advertised as required by law. Three property owners were present. Engineer Priebe stated that this proposed extension of South Grade Road would probably be designed as a regular residential width street which would include curb, gutter, and surfacing, including storm sewer. An extensive discussion of costs and street widths was held. The discussion being concluded, the hearing was declared closed at 9:53 p.m. A letter was received from the Crow River Country Club stating that they have been contacted by Engineer Priebe concerning purchase of an acre of Club property in the Southeast corner near County Road 12 for the purpose of installing a Water Tower of the pedestal type. The letter offered to sell the tract of land for $2,500 subject to an easement permitting the Club to use the land for golfing and further stipulating that a drinking fountain beinstalled near the tower, the Club to maintain the property in the event it is used for golfing. Engineer Priebe outlined the proposed site on the map. It was generally agreed that the price is too high and that there might possibly be some legal complications. At the conclusion of the discussion, Alderman Westlund moved that the offer be tabled for further study and information.. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and it was carried by affirmative vote of all members present. Administrative Assistant Mealey reported receipt of a check in the amount of $3500 from Howard J. Madson for purchase of City -owned lot 4, Peterson's Subdivision. The offer having been duly considered, Alderman Linder intro- duced Ordinance No. 415 for its first reading and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, vote was taken and all members present voted "aye" and said ordinance was declared passed upon first reading. ORDINANCE NO. 415 SALE OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY (TEXT ATTACHED) REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - 5 - MARCH 1413 1972 Administrative Assistant Mealey reported on negotiations with Mr. and Mrs. Orville Saterlee for purchase of the gravel quarry land which the City has been leasing for a brush dump. The Satterlees have proposed that they sell the land to the city less about one acre which they will reserve for the existing building and equipment for $38,000 with no down payment and one tenth of the principal amount each year for ten years at 7 per cent simple interest on the unpaid balance each year with no right of advance payment. The offer having been duly considered, Alderman Linder introduced Resolution No. 5054 and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion. Vote being taken, all members present voted "aye" and said resolution was declared adopted. Administrative Assistant Mealey reported receipt of three proposals in - response to Police Department's invitation, for purchase of an unmarked, small police vehicle to be used for surveillance and general transportation. As directed by Council, the proposals were then opened and found to be as follows: Frank Motor Company: (12 month lease -purchase) $100 per month, $1700 final payment for a 6 cylinder vehicle $100 per month, $1800 final payment for a 6 cylinder vehicle with automatic transmission and power disc brakes Wigen Chevrolet: (12 month lease -purchase) $100 per month, $1875 final payment for 8 cylinder vehicle to be equipped with automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes Plowman Motors: (12 month lease -purchase) $100 per month, $1595 final payment for 6 cylinder vehicle with automatic transmission and power steering $100 per month, $1697.60 final payment for 8 cylinder vehicle with automatic transmission, power steering and power disc brakes. Alderman Linder moved that the proposals be referred to Chief Broderius for recommendation. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and it was passed. A letter was received from Juvenille Officer Jensen requesting vacation during the period March 15 through 21, 1972, compensatory time for two days, and leave of absence from March 25 to July 1, 1972 with the understanding that he would return for necessary court apperances during that period. It was further stated that if his request could not be honored, he would submit his resignation effective March 31, 1972. Vice President Black recommended that the letter be referred to the Police Commission. Alderman Westlund so moved and Alderman Linder seconded the motion which was carried. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IN MARCH 14, 1972 Engineer Priebe presented a bulletin from the State Traffic Engineer stating that Chapter 17 of the 1971 Minn. Session Laws amended Sec. 169.06 Sub. 5 of Minn. Stats to read ..."the driver of a vehicle which is stopped in obedience to a red or stop signal, and with the intention cf making a right turn may make such right turn, after stopping, unless an official sign has been erected ?_trohibi.ti.ng such movement, but shall yield the right of way to pedestrians and other traffic lawfully proceeding through the intersection." This change is effective July 1, 1972. The bulletin stated "this change permits a right turn on red at all signalized intersections unless the mauement is prohibited by an official sign instead of the present law which permits the right turn on red only where so signed." Alderman Linder stated that he feels that this should not be applied to right turns on to Main Street. Engineer Priebe recommended that it be decided whether the recommended sign be placed at all intersections or just on some of them and suggested that he could contact the State to determine whether they will install them, and how the law is interpreted as to local authority. He rem mmended that the matter be referred to Chief Broderius and that he be authorized to contact the State. Vice President Black recommended referral to the Safety Council. Alderman Linder moved that the matter be handled as recommended, Alderman Westlund seconded the motion and it was carried. Engineer Priebe's report on assessment rolls for Projects 70-02 and 71-03 was considered. After due deliberation, Alderman Linder introduced resolution no. 5055 and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and it was carried, by affirmative vote of all members present. RESOLUTION NO. 5055 HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT -PROJECT 70-02 Alderman Linder then introduced resolution no. 5056 and moved its adoption. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion. Vote having been taken, it was found that all members voted "aye"' and said resolution was declared adopted. RESOLUTION NO. 5056 HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT - PROJECT 71-03 There being no further business before the Council, the meeting was declared adjourned at 11:00 p.m. RESOLUTION NO. 5054 AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF SATTERLEE GRAVEL QUARRY BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to enter into agreement with Orval Satterllee and Florence Satterlee for purchase of the gravel quarry described as follows: Lots 9 and 14 of Auditors Plat of the South Half of Section 8, Township 116 North, Range 29 West, McLeod County, Minnesota, according to the plat on file in the ofice of the Register of Deeds and part of the old Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railway Company Right-of-way adjacent to and adjoining said Lots 9 and 14 except the following described tract; Beginning at the intersection of the Easterly extension of the North line of said Lot 9 with the Westerly 50 foot right-of-way line of Minnesota State Highway No. 22; thence Southeasterly along said right- of-way line, 1005 feet; thence deflect to the right 940 58' a distance of 210.9 feet; thence deflect to the right 840 42' a distance of 297.8 feet; thence deflect to the left 80 24' a distance of 292.0 feet; thence deflect to the left 810 16' a distance of 44.0 feet; thence deflect to the right 900 00' on a line parallel to said highway right- of-way to a point in said North line of Lot 9; thence East along said North line to the point of beginning; containing 84.3 acres, more or less.
