SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 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 Carls, Lueneburg, Gruenhagen and
Beatty, in addition to Mayor Westlund. Absent: None. Also present: City Adminis-
trator Plotz, City Engineer Priebe and City Accountant Merrill.
The City Council discussed the City and State laws regarding mandatory hook-up to
available sewer and water lines. It was noted that both the City Ordinance and State
law require hook-up in the event the service is available. In regard to Clifton
Heights, the Council discussed the request of Clifton Heights residents to clarify
the City's position as to whether or not they would require sewer and water hook-up
at this time.
The motion was made by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Beatty, that there
be no exception made to the required City and State regulations and that hook-up is
required when there is an availability for service. City Engineer Priebe has been
requested to prepare a list of structures throughout the community that presently
are not hooked up to -the sewer and water system so that the Council can uniformly
enforace the ordinance and hook-up to sewer and water. The City Engineer noted that
the word "availability" means gravity fed sewer line.
After discussion, the Council unanimously approved the motion.
The Council discussed the up -coming retirement of Fred Roberts, long-time employee
of 22 years with the City of Hutchinson. The Council felt it would be appropriate
to name one of the parks within the community the "Fred Roberts Park."
The motion was made by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman Beatty, to rename
the McDonald's Park the Fred Roberts Park. Motion unanimously carried.
It was moved by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman Beatty, to waive the read-
ing and adopt Resolution No. 6962 entitled Resolution Renaming McDonald's Park the
Fred Roberts Park. Motion unanimously carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
