SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1978
Mayor D. J. Black called the special meeting to order at 12:00 Noon. Those present
were Aldermen Gruenhagen and K. Peterson in addition to Mayor Black. Absent were
Aldermen Westlund and B. Peterson. Also present were Administrative Assistant Plotz
and Hospital Administrator Graves.
The Invitation for Bids for the purchase of coronary care monitoring equipment for
the Hutchinson Community Hospital was read by Mayor Black. The one bid received was
opened and read.
Abbott Medical Electronics Co.
Houston, Texas $41,990.00
Delivery of the monitoring equipment would be made within 90 days and payment of 80%
would be required upon delivery, with the remaining 20% due net 30 days.
It was noted that the bid bond, certified check, or cash for 15% of the bid required
in the specifications had been omitted from the bid of Abbott Medical Electronics Co.
It will be needed before the award can be made, and Mayor Black will consult with City
Attorney Schantzen on the legality of the matter.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson to defer the bid and refer it
to the Hospital Board for review against the specifications and for a recommendation.
Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.
Administrative Assistant Plotz informed the Council that the Preli urinary Plat for
Lakewood Terrace Second Addition was presented to the City Council and approved on
March 22, 1977. Approval of the Final Plat for Lakewood Terrace Second Addition was
inadvertently omitted at that time. It is, therefore, necessary to approve the Final
Plat.
Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson to waive reading and adopt
Resolution No. 6120 entitled Resolution Giving Approval of Preliminary and Final Plat
Known As Lakewood Terrace Second Addition. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the mo-
tion unanimously carried.
Consideration of the employment of Steven Jensen as Recreation Facility Attendant was
deferred at the April 25, 1978 Council meeting. Mayor Black commented that this posi-
tion had been upgraded in the fall of 1977 to Assistant to Recreation Director. Now
that Jeff McKay has left the employment of the City of Hutchinson, this position will
be reinstated to its original job description. The question raised was whether the
Park and Recreation Board had been consulted in changing the job description and fill-
ing this position.
