SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1977
The special meeting was called to order by Mayor Black at 8:00 A.M. Those in
attendance were: Aldermen B. Peterson, K. Peterson and Haag in addition to Mayor
Black. Absent: Alderman R. Westlund. Also present were: Jean Lerberg, Phyllis
Hegrenes, Paul Ackland, and Everett Hantge, all from the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Board.
Administrative Assistant Plotz summarized that mailings were made to the four
major realtors in town regarding any interest they may have in negotiating land
sites for the City of Hutchinson. He further informed the Council and Housing
Authority that he had contacted Peterson -Paulson Realty and 7 -East Realty and
was informed that they were not interested in making a proposal.
It was suggested that the Administrative Assistant contact DeMeyer Realty and
Frank Fay Realty to see whether or not they have decided to participate. Mr.
Plotz contacted DeMeyer and stated that Mr. DeMeyer did not have the time to
perform such services. Frank Pay indicated that he would assist the City on the
basis of $25.00 per hour for property acquisition and negotiation services.
Mrs. Phyllis Hegrenes suggested that Jean Lerberg handle the acquisition negotia-
tion activities.
Mr. Clarence Simonowicz, C.R.S. & Associates consultant, indicated that the rea-
son for soliciting realtor's assistance was to have a neutral party performing
the negotiating and that a professional negotiator of this nature was needed.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman
Haag, to obtain the services of Frank Fay as proposed and the assistance from
Jean Lerberg, Housing Authority Director. Motion carried unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 A.M.
