SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1981
The special meeting of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Westlund at
8:00 A.M. with the following present: Aldermen Peterson, Lueneburg, Gruenhagen and
Beatty, in addition to Mayor Westlund. Also present: City Administrator Plotz and
John Miller.
The City Council discussed the status of the large barn in Rolling Oaks Addition
owned by John Miller. Mr. Miller reported that the two silos on the barn had been
taken down with a demolition permit. However, the main structure of the barn re-
mains. He reported that one to two people were working at dismantling the barn,
and it was estimated that the structure would be removed by September 15. The in-
tent of the firm engaged to dismantle the barn was to salvage the materials and,
therefore, it would take this amount of time to remove.
The Ordinance of deposit was discussed. After much discussion, a motion was made
by Alderman Beatty and seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen that the deposit be $50.00
for the first five -days, $100.00 per day for the subsequent 10 -days; thereafter
$100.00 per working day or $1,000.00 per month, with removal to be completed by
September 15, 1981. In the event the structure is not removed within five days sub-
sequent to September 15, 1981, the deposit would be forfeited. Motion was carried.
It was also agreed the City would make available any snow fencing to John Miller
for the general safety of the public with installation and removal the responsi-
bility of John Miller.
The City Council discussed the proposed joint gymnasium with the School District
and the City. Mayor Westlund reported the School Board wanted to meet with the City
Council within the next two weeks. Mayor Westlund suggested that the City be pre-
pared with a sketch of the type of building that would meet the City's needs. It
was suggested that perhaps a local architect could put together some conceptual lay-
out and elevation of the building prior to the meeting of the School Board.
A motion was made by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Peterson, to employ
the services of Korngiebel Architects to complete the preliminary work between
$300 - 500 and not to exceed $500. Motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 A.M.
