SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1980
Mayor Westlund called the special meeting to order at 7:30 A.M., with the following
members present: Aldermen Peterson, Lueneburg, Gruenhagen and Beatty. Absent: None.
Also present were: Administrative Assistant Plotz and Personnel Coordinator Sitz.
City Forester Schnobrich appeared before the Council and informed them that Jim Swanke
has offered to donate 1,200 evergreen trees to the City of Hutchinson. However, the
trees have to be transported from Valley City, North Dakota. The total moving expenses
will be approximately $690, with six men leaving on a Friday morning and returning
late Sunday. They will donate their time for two days, with the City paying the cost
for meals and lodging as well as salary for Friday's work.
After discussion, Alderman Beatty moved to approve the request for six men to trans-
port the trees as outlined above, contingent upon the liability insurance covering
the City during the duration of the project. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the
motion unanimously carried.
The remainder of the meeting was given to discussing reorganization of City depart-
ments.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 A.M.
