SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1976
The meeting was called to order at 8:05 A.M. by Mayor Black. Those in
attendance were Aldermen Westlund, B. Peterson, Haag, K. Peterson and Mayor
Black. Also present were Community Development Director Pauley, Administrative
Assistant Fleetham, and City Accountant Meyer.
1. Resolution No. 5789 Certifying Assessments of the City of Hutchinson to
the County of McLeod - It was moved the certification of assessments be
adopted by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman B. Peterson. The vote
on the motion was unanimous.
2. The Request of an Amendment to the City Liquor Ordinances - Mr. Tom Dolder
and Mr. Larry Cornwell appeared before the Council requesting the amendment
of the liquor ordinance to allow them to apply for a license for their pro-
posed bowling center.
Mayor D. J. Black spoke to the city's passage of a split liquor referendum
and what he thought was the philosophy of the presentation of that issue to
the citizens. It was his judgment that the proposal did not meet the cri-
teria of that philosophy nor the existing ordinance.
Alderman Haag and Alderman B. Peterson expressed their view that such a
facility was needed. Alderman K. Peterson expressed her confusion with
the phrasing and wording of the ordinance.
It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Westlund, to
defer the item to the Council meeting of October 12. The vote on the
motion was unanimous.

the Transit System. The motion passed unanimously.

schedule recommended by the Transit Board be adopted. Vote passed unani-
mously.
6. Community Development Director Pauley reviewed the present status of the
property on Third Avenue which has been identified as a purchase and demo-
lition site under Community Development. It was moved by Alderman West-
lund, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to authorize the City Clerk to con-
tact the real estate company and probate court regarding potential pur-
chase of that property for Community Development activity. The vote on
