SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1987
The special meeting was called to order by Mayor Ackland at 5:00 P.M. The fol-
lowing were present: Mayor Paul L. Ackland, Aldermen Mike Carla, John Mlinar
(arrived at 5:08 P.M.), Marlin Torgerson and Pat Mikulecky. Also present: City

PUBLIC HEARITO - PROJECT 10, 87-38
The public hearing for Project No. 87-38 was called to order, and Mayor Ackland
read Publication No. 3761.
Ms. Elizabeth Brusehaver, manager of Greencastle, raised a question on the
buildings north of Greencastle and if the assessment amount was for only the one
property.
Engineer Anderson stated everyone in the area was notified of the hearing, but
he thought only Greencastle would be assessed for the cost of the hydrant. The
former owner, Mr. Newell Weed, was supposed to install the fire hydrant, which
was never done. No assessment roll had been prepared at this time inasmuch as
no bids had been received.
The motion was made by Alderman Torgerson to close the hearing at 5:07 P.M. Mo-
tion seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and unanimously carried.
Alderman Carla moved to approve Project No. 87-38 and to waive reading and adopt
Resolution No. 8669. Motion seconded by Alderman Torgerson and carried unani-
mously.
APP011MET OF POLICE CHIEF
Mayor Ackland reported the three finalists for the position of police chief had
been interviewed by the Council. It was his recommendation to make an offer to
Steven Madson of Mason City, Iowa to become police chief, effective January 4,
1988.
The motion was made by Alderman Carla, seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and unani-
mously carried, to appoint the police chief according to the terms arrived at
with Steven Madson.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:10 P.M.
