COMMUNICATIONS, REQUESTS AND PETITIONS (a) PRESENTATION ON HARRINGTON-MERRILL HOUSE-JIM FAHEY Jim Fahey, Historic Hutchinson, presented before the Council. Mr. Fahey delivered a presentation on the Harrington-Merrill House project. Mr. Fahey provided a history of the house. This home is the oldest structure in the City of Hutchinson, and one of the oldest in McLeod County. A fire in 2002 destroyed a portion of the home, as well as disrepair. The City acquired the property in 2003 via tax forfeiture and in 2004 a committee was formed to restore the home. Historic Hutchinson has provided funding to restore the home and the City of Hutchinson has taken over project management. Community members, Harrington ancestors, McLeod County Historical Society, State of Minnesota Historical Society and local banks and businesses are also active members committed to the restoration and renovation of the home. Plans for next year include rebuilding of the west wing, which is estimated to cost $100,000. Mr. Fahey further spoke on the donations that the group has received from service organizations and private donators. (b ) PRESENTATION ON RESULTS OF EMPLOYEE SA TISF ACTION SURVEY - BRENDA EWING Brenda Ewing, Human Resources Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Ewing provided an overview of the 2006 Employee Satisfaction survey. The pu~ose of the survey was to gain a better understanding of employees' views of the City. The employee was distributed in June 2006 and employees had 2-3 weeks to complete the survey. Approximately 140 survey documents were distributed and 121 surveys were returned. The surveys were distributed to all regular full time and part time employees. The response rate was excellent at 86.5%. Overall the responses appeared to be positive in regard to the overall satisfaction of the majority of the employees. Overall, employee responses ranked as either Strongly Agree or Agree. The survey results will be communicated back to the employees. This survey will be used as a benchmark for future surveys, which plan on being conducted on a more regular basis. (c) UPDATE ON COUNCIL CHAMBER IMPROVEMENTS - TOM KLOSS Tom Kloss, Information Technology Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Kloss gave an overview of the updates made to the City Council Chambers. The total amount spent on the project was approximately $31,000.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 2 5Lo) CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 11, 2006 e (a) ORDINANCE NO. 06-0440 - AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A PROCEDURE FOR ENFORCING ADMINISTRATIVE PENAL TIES FOR CERTAIN PETTY MISDEMEANORS AND MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLA TIONS (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) Marc Sebora, City Attorney, presented before the Council. Mr. Sebora explained that earlier this year, Council Member Stotts had suggested that stafflook into the possibility of issuing administrative citations for petty misdemeanor offenses. Mr. Sebora explained that the only changes made to the ordinance compared to the first reading of the ordinance were some fee changes. This program will allow for additional revenues for the City. The purpose of these funds is intended to be earmarked for a public safety/transportation fund. The intention is for this procedure to go into effect January 1, 2007. Motion by Stotts, second by Arndt, to adopt Ordinance No. 06-0440. Motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF DOCUMENTS RELATED TO RETIREMENT SAVINGS ACCOUNT PROGRAM Brenda Ewing, Human Resources Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Ewing requested that this item be tabled to the next meeting. Several questions have arisen since the printing of the packet. Motion by Stotts, second by Haugen, to ta~!e this item to ~l:e No'.ember 14,2006, City Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 10. NEW BUSINESS (a) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF AUTHORIZING A LEVY ON BEHALF OF THE HUTCHINSON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY e e Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, presented before the Council. Miles Seppelt, EDA Director, presented before the CouncIl. Mr. Seppelt explained that ever since the EDA was implemented, the intention was for it to be self- funded from a separate tax levy. Due to technical reasons, the County was unable to implement the levy and the EDA funding was included in the City's general fund. The annual transfer to the EDA from the City's general fund has remained essentially unchanged since 1998. This has been workable because EDA expenditures have been significantly lower than budgeted due to staffing chan~es. However, EDA revenues will decline due to a rental property being vacated. Because of these Issues, the EDA Board has recommended implementing an EDA tax levy and phase out the EDA' s transfer from the general fund. This is a benefit to the City in that it is greater transparency in the City's budget, it eliminates an annual transfer to the EDA and the City can reduce its tax rate, It is a benefit to the EDA in that it provides a more stable funding source, protects the EDA from City budget pressures, gives the EDA Board more control over their own budget, provides better financial management and moves the EDA toward financial self-sufficiency. However, the City Council would set the EDA levy each year at the same time they set the City's levy. This levy implementation is similar to how the HRA and Region 6E are funded. This levy proposal is solely about funding, and the administrative make-up would remain the same. Mr. Seppelt explamed the process to establish a levy for the EDA. This includes holding a public hearing, which was held October 10, 2006. The EDA Board is requesting that the City Council authorize the implementation of a levy on behalf of the EDA in the amount of$140,000, giving an estimated EDA tax rate of 1.525%. Each year going forward, the EDA would request that the EDA tax rate be kept the same. Mr. Seppelt then reviewed the value the EDA provides to the community, such as business retention & expansion program, new business recruiting, new business start-ups, downtown revitalization, project management, project support, grant writing, staff support and marketing the community. Mr. Seppelt stated that he had researched how other City EDAs are funded. His research showed variations. Some cities are funded from a levy and a general fund. Some are funded entirely from a general fund and some are completely self-sufficient. Mayor Cook noted some research he had done on comparable cities and how their EDAs are funded. His research showed variations as well. His research also showed that some counties are involved in various Economic Development Authorities. Mr. Seppelt explained that at one time it had been presented to 3 5~ e e e CITY COUNCIL M1NUTES - OCTOBER 11, 2006 McLeod County to be involved with the Economic Development Authority, however at that time it did not proceed. Mayor Cook did note that he feels the EDA has been successful being funded by the general fund, with the only downfall being that the increase has not increased appropriately. Motion by Haugen, second by Stotts, to approve authorizing a levy on behalf of the Hutchinson EDA. Roll call vote was taken: Haugen - aye; Arndt - aye; Stotts - aye; Cook - nay. Motion carried 4 to 1. Mr. Seppelt noted that at the next EDA board meeting, the 2007 project list is going to be developed, as well as the plan for movin~ towards self-sufficiency. Council Member Arndt asked that Mr. Seppelt contact some county commissIOners to present the idea of an EDA being incorporated into the county. (b) CONSIDERATION FOR PROVIDING NOTICE OF OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR CITY OF HUTCHINSON TOWING SERVICES AND ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES OF ELIGIBLlTY FOR OPEN TOWING Marc Sebora, City Attorney, presented before the Council. Mr. Sebora explained that the City currently has a towin~ contract with a local provider. The City has been approached by another provider requesting that the towmg services be opened up to other providers. Mr. Sebora further explained that through research, he has found that the resolution in front of the Council tonight may be in conflict with a federal law. He asked that this be tabled until further research can be completed. Motion by Haugen, second by Stotts, to table this item until further research can be conducted. Motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF SETTING DATE FOR CANVASSING RESULTS FROM CITY GENERAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006 Motion by Stotts, second by Cook, to set November 8, 2006, at 8:30 a.m. to canvas the results from the City General Election. Motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION FOR APPRO V AL OF AMENDMENT TO ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT WITH DONOHUE & ASSOCIATES John Rodeberg, Public Works Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Rodeberg explained that staffhas been notified from Hutchinson Utilities Commission that they can provide a dual power feed to the new wastewater treatment facility. That was not the understanding when the project was designed and the project was designed around a generator. Because this work was completed, Donohue & Associa.tes is fequesting $12,000 to redesign the project for dual power. This will ultimately save the city about $100,000 in construction costs and significant long term operational and maintenance costs. , Motion by Arndt, second by Stotts, to approve amendment to engineering services contract with Donohue & Associates. Motion carried unanimously. . (e) CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL AID (MSA) STREETS John Rodeberg, Public Works Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Rodeberg exrlained to th~ Council that staff is proposing to designate Edmonton A venue SW from TH 15 to Schoo Road and 5 A venue SE from Michigan Street to TH 22 as municipal state aid streets. This will generate additional needs and funding, Mr. Rodeberg explained the process and guidelines used in establishing municipal aid streets. Kent Exner, City Engineer, spoke about the specific proposals. The Edmonton A venue proposal would be modified and extend the route west to School Road. This route has the potential for significant re&~onal use and access to school sites. There is currently very little assessable property along this route. The 5 Avenue SE proposal would extend the MSA designation to the TH 22 bypass. Currently 1/3 of the route is urband and the east 2/3 are rural. Staff does not have a resolution for the Council to approve tonight, but will be bringing one forward in the future. 4 5Lo} CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER I I, 2006 e Motion by Arndt, second by Cook, to approve the routes described to be designated as Municipal Aid Streets.

Permitted uses in C-2 are also conditionally permitted in the C-4 (Fringe Commercial) district. If the ordinance amendment is approved, the applicant will need to apply for a conditional use for the specific site. Their intention is to move their towing company to 700 Airport Road S.W., which is zoned C-4. tit The attached map identifies the location of the location of C-2 and C-4 zoning districts. Proposed Amendment: The ordinance amendment proposed by the applicant is to add "towing companies with impound lots" to the permitted uses. Draft ordinance language is as follows: ' 154.062 C-2, AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. e (A) Purpose. The C-2 district is intended to provide locations for businesses which generate a high degree of automobile traffic and which would properly be developed along mpjor thoroughfares of the community.

Fences must be a minimum of 6 feet hifdl and constructed of wood or equivalent materials. Conditional uses. Used car. farm machinery, marine and mobile home sales and display areas when not operated as a part of new item franchise dealership. Analysis: In reviewing the proposed amendment, the Commission should consider the proposed use with the purpose of the zoning district. The purpose of the C-2 (Automobile Service/Commercial District) zoning district is "intended to provide locations for businesses which generate a high degree of traffic and wlllch would properly be developed along major thoroughfares of the community." Permitted uses include several auto oriented uses such as service stations, auto repair shops, car washe~, drive-dlru banking, convenience stores with gasoline, new car sales and display. The proposed ordinance change was presented at the planning staff meeting to add "towing company offices with impound lots" to the C-2 zoning district as a permitted use, wlllch would also allow the use to be conditionally permitted in the C-4 district. After discussing the item, several staff recommended that towing company offices be added to the C-4 district as a conditional use only, rather than as a permitted use in the C2 zoning district and conditionally permitted in C-4. The concern was to not have control over a towing company ifit was listed as permitted in C2. To address this concern, staff added a fencing and screening requirement into the proposed amendment. As shown on the zoning map, there are very few properties that are zoned C-2. However, adding the proposed use to the C-2 district would be consistent with the purpose of the district and would also allow the use to be conditionally permitted in the C-4 districts. Conclusion: A draft ordinance is attached for the public hearing and for the Planning Commission's review. Based upon the discussion and direction from the Planning Commission, staff will prepare a resolution adopting findings of fact for the ordinance amendment.

Towino September 18, 2006 To: Planning StatI: Planning Commission and City Council Please consider amending Section 154.062 (C-2 - Automotive Service Connnercial District) by addirlg the language "Towing companies with impound lots." to the list of permitted uses. Permitted uses in the C-2 District are conditionaily pennitted in the C-4 (Fringe Commercial) Districts. In the past, service stations and automobile dealers provided 24 hour towing service to the community. Presently, there are fewer service stations. and automobile dealerships no longer include 24 hour towing service. e Now and in the future, Hutchinson will be serviced by independent 24 hour towing companies with fenced impound lots. We have decided to move our towing company and impound lot to 700 Airport Road S.W. This property is zoned C-4 (Fringe ConnnerciaI) and we understand, if the amendment is approved. we must apply for a conditional use permit to locate in the area. The property is appropriate for our business since there is presently an auto repair shop and airport on the south side of Airport Road. Our proposal will include a fenced impound lot with hardsurfaced parking. We will use 1/4 of the existing building for office space and garage for the tow trucks. Our proposal will clean up the lot and create a more sightly drive along Airport Road. We would appreciate your approval of <;Jur request and look forward to relocating our towing company to 700 Airport Road. ~7~'A /) Q ~onnie Bawnetz Modern Mazda Towing ~o~ fJ~ e (ds-~ e e e " MEMORANDUM DATE: October 18,2006 TO: Hutchinson City Council FROM: Hutchinson Planning Commission SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN FOR RE/MAX REAL ESTATE OFFICE AT 255 AND 287 HIGHWAY 7 EAST, FOR RE/MAX REALTY (JANET VALEN AND BOB SANDSTEDE) ReQuest: The property own~r is requesting approval of a conditional use permit and site plan for a building addition and site improvements to open a Re/Max real estate office at 255 and 287 Highway 7 E.

'EI":";':~;";__~ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN The property owner is requesting approval of a conditional use permit and site plan for a building addition and site improvements to open a Re/Max real estate office. The property is shown below. There are presently residential uses on both properties, however the structures have contained non-residential uses in the past. The house on the east would be demolished to allow room for parking expansion. One of the structures was previously the Redman Real Estate house. it; [e..)3 e e e ReMax 255/287 Hwy 7 E Planning Commission- October 6, 2006 Page 2 Existing Zoning: Property Location: Lot Size: Existing Land Use: Adjacent Land Use And Zoning: Comprehensive Land Use Plan: Zoning History: Applicable Regulations: GENERAL INFORMATION I1C (Industrial Commercial District) 255 and 287 Hwy 7 East 255 Hwy 7 E - .42 acres 287 Hwy 7 E - .13 acres (To be combined by owners) Residential and previously commercial uses R2 (Medium Density Residential) on the west and north 1-1 (Limited Industrial Park) on the east C4 (Fringe Commei'cial) on the south Traditional Residential Neighborhood In 1993, the property was zoned R2 and C4. In 1999, both properties were rezoned to lie. A conditional use permit (CUP) was approved for computer business in 2001. The property has since become residential, however City records do not identify that another CUP was granted or any change in use was approved by the City. The City reviewed and approved a proposed rezoning from IIC back to R-2 at the July 25, 2006 meeting. However, before the final reading arid adoption, the owner requested that it be withdrawn or denied in order !to sell it as a commercial property for the proposed ReMax real est~te offi~ : Section 154.168, City Code SPECIAL INFORMATION Transportation: Parking: Hwy 7 East The Zoning Ordinance requires 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet for general office uses and does not provide a specific requirement for real estate offices. Based upon a gross building area of 7,341 square feet, 37 parking spaces would be required based upon a general office calculation. The applicant proposes 31 spaces. Based upon staff research of office parking standards and characteristics of a real estate offices, less parking spaces would be needed than a typical office use. The average range of spaces required for office uses per the ITE Parking Generation Manual is 4 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet. Using this calculation, 29 spaces would be required. Based upon this information, staff finds that the proposed 31 spaces should be adequate for the proposed use. Staff also notes that the to{Yj3 e ReMax 255/287 H wy 7 E Planning Commission- October 6, 2006 Page 3 applicant may be removing the garage shown to be relocated, which may allow additional room to construct parking in the future if needed. Setbacks: The building setbacks outlined in the VC district are recommended, rather than required, as the purpose of the VC district is to allow development in areas where there is transition in use occurring. The existing structure does not comply with the recommended setbacks and has approximately 9' 4" setback to the west property line. Due to the angle of the lot, the proposed addition would slightly increase the non-conforming setback on the west to a 5' 7" setback. Analysis and Recommendation: A one-stop shop was held with staff on Oct. 10th. One of the issues previously discussed with the applicant was removing the secondary access from Highway 7. The revised plans show removal or the secollllary access and an improved parking layout. Planning staff discu""".1 ill"; parking provided on the site with the applicant. Engineering staff stated that additional information regarding elevations and drainage will need to be provided prior to construction. Utility and sewer access details were also discussed. As there are no permitted principal uses in the VC (IndustriaIlCommerical) District, approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) is required for all uses. A CUP shall be granted only if evidence is e presented to establish the following: (a) The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community; (b) The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and (c) The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations. Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and site plan subject to the following findings and recommended conditions: e 1. The proposed use would meet the standards for granting a CUP. 2. The proposed addition and site improvements would comply with the standards of the VC district. 3. The applicant shall provide detailed plans on the proposed grading and drainage for the site to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to construction on the site. 4.

The intent of the lease was to allow time for Life Link III to establish their operations and begin planning for a more permanent facility. Life Link III began operations at the airport almost immediately. Life Link III put up an office trailer at the airfield and entered into a separate agreement with Tom Parker, Hutchinson Aviation (the airport Fixed Base Operator) to store their helicopter(s) in inclement weather. These arrangements have served both Life Link 111 and the City well over these 18 months. Using our FAA entitlement funds, the City installed a Jet fuel tank and pump in 2005 that has been well utilized by Life Link 111. Life Link III reports being more than satisfied with their operations at Hutchinson and that operations have exceeded expectations for the last year and a half. As the lease came close to expiring, the Airport Commission had conversations with Life Link 111. The Airport Commission expressed their appreciation for having them as tenants. Life Link III indicated their Hutchinson operations were successful and they intended to keep their operations here. Life Link III reported two reasons for their delay in constructing a more permanent facility in Hutchinson to the Airport Commission. First, they were in the process of opening a new base of operations and constructing a facility at one of them. Second, they were in the process of going through an accreditation process with a nationally recognized organization and had not yet received the recommendations associated with that organization's inspections. The Airport Commission recommends extending the lease with Life Link III through November 30, 2006. This extension will give Life Link III time to receive the report from the accreditation organization so changes can be incorporated into a new short-term lease that will be negotiated. The Airport Commission's intent is to spell out terms in the temporary least that provide incentive for Life Link III to pursue construction of a more permanent facility in Hutchinson. Lo Lc1) e e e TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: John Rodeberg, Director of Public Works Kent Exner, City Engineer Randy DeVries, WaterlWastewater Director RE: Consideration of Engineering Services Agreement for WWTF Building 20 Lift Station Pump Replacement with EarthTech (Letting No. 9/Project No. 06-11) DATE: October 24, 2006 Attached is an agreement necessary to proceed with the evaluation and design oflift station pump replacement alternatives within Building 20 (main lift station). The main lift station consists offour pumps, two of which were repaired in 2005. Due to existing and future growth, the other two pumps mu~t now be examined to determine what pumping capability will maximize the transport capacity of our relatively new downstream trunk sewer infrastructure. The engineering services agreement would be in the not-to-exceed amount of$16,200.00. We recommend approving this agreement with EarthTech in the amount of $16,200.00. cc: Gary Plotz - City Administrator (pL~) e e e @ EarthTech 3033 Campus Drive Suite 290 Minneapolis.

COAlpanJ April 13, 2006 Randy DeVries, Director Water & Wastewater Operations City of Hutchinson 111 Hassan Street SE Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350-2522 Re: Engineering Services Proposal Building 20 Pumps Replacement Dear Mr. DeVries: We are providing this proposal for engineering services to evaluate and design pump replacement alternatives for Building 20, which is the main lift station for the WWTP. Upon receipt of the City's authorization to proceed, Earth Tech is prepared to complete initial services within 30 calendar days and final design documentation 30 days after City staff concurrence. Background Building 20 was constructed in the late 1980's as part of the WWTP relocation project. The facility includes 2 wetwells, each of which is serviced by 2 pumps, to provide redundancy and to enhance maintenance capabilities. Two of the pumps underwent major repairs in 2005 and the remaining pumps are in need of replacement and/or upgrade. Long-term growth requires additional transport capacity within the wastewater collection system. As such, the City wants to maximize the flow carrying capacity of existing facilities, including Building 20 and the associated force main. Therefore, the City wants to address upgrade alternatives to replacement of the existing pumping equipment at Building 20. This proposal provides the evaluation of upgrade alternatives for Building 20 pumping equipment. Scope of Services Earth Tech proposes to compiete this project in three (3) phases, through the development of detailed design documentation, which the City could then use to advertise and bid the project. These phases include: 1. Alternatives Development & Evaluation. 2. Costing & Reporting. 3. Detailed Design Documentation. If the City decides to proceed with the project, Earth Tech can also provide assistance with bidding, construction administration and project observation as you consider appropriate. CRee) e e e @ Earth Tech },T'PIlnterTl8tional Ltd. Comparry Randy DeVries City of Hutchinson April 13. 2006 Page 2 of 3 1. Alternatives Development & Evaluation Earth Tech will meet with the City's operations and maintenance personnel to review existing operations and functionality of the facility. At this time, we will also collect available information regarding current flow conditions, changed piping/equipment since the original construction and staff input on other potential improvements for the facility. Earth Tech staff will also collect information on those factors that may limit the expansion potential of the facility, including electrical service and motor control center ratings, wetwell configuration and force main hydraulics. We will develop a minimum of 2 alternatives for the project, one of which will address additional pumping capacity for the facility. These alternatives will be developed based upon an evaluation of the system curve developed for the dual, 18-inch force main from Building 20 to the WWTP and the various operating conditions under which the pumping/force main systems function. Sufficient information will be developed to establish probable construction costs for each alternative. 2. Costing & Reporting Based on the alternatives developed and evaluated, Earth Tech will prepare construction cost; estimates for the alternatives. If any alternative includes operations and maintenance costs that! are significantly different than current values, present worth costs will also be estimated. I i Project findings, including background information, alternatives evaluations, cost information and recommended action(s) will be presented in a brief letter report for consideration by City staff. Upon concurrence by City staff, Earth Tech will initiate detailed design documentation. ' 3. Detailed Design Documentation Earth Tech will prepare detailed drawings and technical specifications required for t~e construction of the recommended plan. The completed plans and specifications will be providl3d in a digital format (Adobe Acrobat) and five (5) sets of printed documents will also be provided. City staff will prepare any "front-end" documents required for bidding the project. Compensation & Schedule Earth Tech will complete the above scope of services for a lump sum cost of $16,200.00. This total cost includes $8,750 for Phase 1 & 2 services and '$7,450 for Phase 3 services. When the City decides to implement the recommended project, Earth Tech is available to provide assistance during bidding and construction as additional services. wL9 e e e @) Earth Tech AT)'tiIlnremalion!ILtd.CIJ.IDp.8ny Randy DeVries City of Hutchinson April 13, 2006 Page 3 of 3 We are available to begin these seNices upon receipt of written authorization to proceed.

The following is the excerpt of the executive summary from the report prepared by Short-Elliot- !1cnddcksor., Inc. after they reviewed the City's snow r~moval <lild ice COi1~i':': j)l"ol.:edur<:s. "Evaluation of Snow Removal Procedures This report is in response to the City's request for an evaluation and review of the City of Hutchinson's snow removal and ice control program. In Minnesota and throughout the winter "snow belt" region, response to snow events and a city's ability to effectively cope with winter road conditions on its local street system is a most important criteria in evaluating our effectiveness on behalf of the citizens we serve. Therefore it is appropriate that a city review and evaluate their snow response and take a critical look at its winter road maintenance practices. One of the most effective ways of doing that is to have an "outside" evaluation done and compare your current practices with "best practices" as identified in various studies and publications. At your request, SEH has conducted such a review for the City of Hutchinson and the following report details the findings oflhat review. Those findings are summarized as follows: Review of the Snow Removal Fleet The snow removal fleet is very will maintained and maintenance procedures and records bear that out. The fleet is very similar in make-up and is equipped similar to that which is found in other fleets of like-sized communities. It is heavily dependent upon single-axle trucks with reversible plows, wings and sanders to respond to snow events. We believe that as future equipment replacements become appropriate, the City should move toward less dependency upon single-axle truck units and a greater use of articulated front-end loaders. We further recommend that at least one back-up truck unit be maintained in inventory to react to break-downs or equipment failure. Review of Use of Ice Control Materials The City continues to use a salt/sand mixture for ice control while the industry is gradually moving away from the use of salt/sand to alternative anti-icing and de-icing chemicals. These chemicals offer better de-icing results and lower the volume of sand which ultimately goes into the storm water system. We recommend the City consider transitioning from the use of salt/sand mixture to the use of one of the alternative anti-icing and de-icing chemicals on the market. y; La..) e Review of Staffing for Snow and Ice Removal Program Current staffmg is at a minimal and the City needs to prepare to replenish their staffing level as attrition occurs. The City currently augments its experienced public works staff with personnel from other departments and outside contractors. Even the program supervisor is routinely scheduled to operate a primary snow removal route. At a minimum, the City needs to provide adequate staff to remove the "program supervisor" from primary route responsibility so that that person can adequalely administer and supervise the snow ^ removal and ice control program. Review of Sidewalkffrail Snow Removal Program The City currently has a significant sidewalk/trail system and that system is rapidly expanding. The City is not well positioned to respond to that expansion or to meet the public's expectation with regard to that system. We recommend that a task force be established 10 study and ultimately develop a plan to govern and control the existing and planned expansion of the City's trail and sidewalk system. Review of Snow Plow Routes After a thorough review of the current routing and priority routing of the snow removal program, we recommend no change at this time. The routing is efficient and well understood by the program operators and any change would only serve to disrupt the public's expectation and reliance on current removal practices. Review of Administrative Practices e Again, we recommend staffing be increased so ^that the "program supervisor" not be routinely assigned to a snow plow route. Adequate staff should be provided so thai the person responsible for directing the snow and ice control program is available to supervise and direcl or re-direct equipment and personnel as changes dictate. We also recommend that the City study the need for adopting a more restriclive winter parking ordinance to assist the efficient removal of snow from its street system. Review of Snow Storage Sites The disposal and slorage of snow from downtown and municipal parking lots has been the cause of some concern over the past several years. Our study reviewed and evaluated five existing storage sites and eleven potential storage sites identified by City staff. After review and evaluation, we recommend steps be taken to adopt the "armory" site as the primary snow disposal and storage site for the City and its private haulers. The site can be managed and mainlained by the City, is large enough to support current and future storage requirements and id is generally far enough removed from residential properties to eliminate current concerns Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City staff in the conduct of this review on behalf of the City of Hutchinson. We greatly appreciate and acknowledge the cooperation of City staff in providing the necessary records, maps, documentation and a willingness to openly share information necessary to conduct this review. SEH staff is available to discuss the findings and recommendations contained in this report." e ~loj e e e Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council B"nd, K.

General Safety Equipment from Wyoming. Minnesota bid: $312,291,00 E-One from Florida bid: $324,995.00 Pierce Manufacturing from Appleton WISCOnsin bid: $334,500,00 (Saber) Pierce Manufacturing from Appleton Wisconsin submitted a second bid for a different body style of: $342,145.00 (Enforcer) e Obviously, we would have liked to see the bids come in at under $300 thousand dollars, but please let me assure you that the committee did not write specifications for a fancy, bells, and whistles truck. This is a pretty much bare bones, basic fire truck. The bidders said that the average truck coming off line these days is $400 thousand dollars. Lt. Mike Craig will be making a recommendation as to which bid to accept during his presentation if you as a council choose to proceed with this project e \DL<L) e MEMORANDUM DATE: October 18, 2006 TO: Hutchinson City Council FROM: Hutchinson Planning Commission SUBJECT: SKETCH PLAN REVIEW FOR STEVE KNISLEY FOR A POLE BARN/STORAGE GARAGE DEVELOPMENT ON GOEBEL PROPERTY Requested Action: The City Council is requested to provide informal feedback to Mr. Knisley on his proposed development. Direction from the Council is requested on whether there is support for his proposal moving forward under a Planned Development District (POD), as it would not meet the majority of the 1-1 (Light Industrial Park) district requirements. The preliminary staff concerns are outlined in the attached S!::lff ~9pOrt to the Pla"n'!'19 Commission. PropOsal: Mr. Knisley is requesting review of a sketch plan for a proposed development in the 1-1 (Light Industrial Park) district before he prepares detailed plans and purchases the property. He is proposing to plat an approximately 5-acre site into 26 separate lots for construction of pole-type storage garages on each of the lots. He plans to sell the lots to separate owners. His proposed layout and building plans are attached for your review. e As the proposal would not meet the standards for lot area, dimensions, or setbacks for the i-1 district and conditional use permits would be required for the pole bam construction, the development could only be done under a Planned Development District. The applicant will be at City Council meeting to present his proposal. PlanninQ Commission Meetina: The Planning Commission discussed this item at length at their October 17, 2006, meeting. There was much discussion on the fact that the proposal does not fit the requirements of either the 1-1 (Light Industrial) district or any other district in the City. The Commission felt that the idea was unique and would like to see his project move forward, however they could not determine how the project could be done within the requirements. There was discussion on if there were other properties or districts that the proposal could be constructed within requirements or if a Planned Development District (POD) could be used to overcome the requirements of the 1-1 district, such as lot area minimum of 1 acre, setbacks, and pole barn construction, Staff stated that there is no existing district that would allow his proposal, other than a rezoning to a POD, However, based upon staffs knowledge, the City has not previously e 'DL~ Page Two Knisley Sketch Plan e allowed a non-residential POD, Staff also stated that a POD should not to be used as a means to circumvent the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and should provide a higher standard of development. Additional discussion occurred on how the properties would be maintained, considering that many of the property owners may not be local owners. Mr. Knisley stated that each owner would be responsible for care of their property as the idea of an association is not popular with buyers, The Commission discussed maintenance issues such as lawn mowing and snow plowing that could result. The City could be put in a position of sending violation letters, mowing the lawns and assessing individual properties if owners did not maintain their property. The Commission debated whether an association would be effective in this situation orwhether individual owners would provide more assurance. Staff expressed concern that the City would end up with enforcing maintenance of the properties. Staff also commented on the density, storm water run off, amount of lot coverage, and stated that a stormwater analysis would be required to determine ponding size. An on-site pond would likely be required to keep the run-off on the site. The glty Attorney stated that some of the proposed uses mrlY "oi be allowed in the 1-1 zoning district, such as storage of inaividual property not related to industrial businesses or warehousing. Other uses such as auto repair could be problematic. Mr. Knisley stated that he would provide restrictions in the covenants that only certain types of uses would be allowed and that there would be no outside storage, e The Commission and staff discussed the concern that the City would end up trying to enforce the various uses of the property and maintenance concerns. The Commission expressed support for his ideas but encouraged Mr. Knisley to revise the plans to meet ordinance requirements, such as building larger buildings with lease spaces or condos on larger lots, Conclusion: The Planning Commission brought up many issues for discussion and expressed concerns as well as encouragement to Mr. Knisley. The Commission would like to see the project move forward, however wanted additional information regarding how the multiple concerns raised could be addressed and if the proposal could be revised to meet ordinance requirements. The Commission suggested sending the sketch plan forward to Council for feedbaCk before proceeding with his plans. The City Council is requested to provide informal feedback to Mr. Knisley on his proposed development. If the Council determines that development under a POD would be ~upported, Mr. Knisley would need to provide detailed engineering plans and apply for a preliminary plat, rezoning to a POD, and conditional use permit. e 10(1) DI RECTORS REPORT - PLANNING DEPARTMENT To: Hutchinson Planning Commission From: Brad Emans, Dolf Moon, Dave Hunstad, Miles Seppelt, Dan Sexton, Jean Ward, John Rodeberg, P.E., John Webster, Steve Sturges, Steve Lancaster, John Olson, Lenn)' Rutledge, Kyle Dimler, Kent Exner, Mark Schnobrich, Marc Sebora, Gary Plotz, Ken Merrill, Jim Popp, Dan Hatten, Dick Nagy, Rebecca Bowers, and Bonnie Baumetz (Persons in attendance at Planning Staff Meeting (in bold) Date: October 6, 2006 for October 17, 2006 Planning Commission Meeting Steve Knisley Request for Sketch Plan Review for Storage Garage Development on Goebel Property Applicant: Subject: Mr. Knisley is requesting review of a sketch plan for a proposed development in the I-I (Light Industrial district).

The applicant will be at Planning Commission meeting to present his proposal. ) D LbJ e Page Two October 17,2006 Planning Commission Steve Knisley Sketch Plan Planning, Engineering, and Economic Development staff met with Mr. Knisley to review his proposed plans. After reviewing his plans, staff from these departments expressed initial concerns over the proposal, including: 1. Lot sizes of 4,550 to 14,360 square feet would not comply with the I acre lot minimum required in the I-I (Light Industrial District), 2. Proposal could only be accomplished through significant variances or through a PDD (planned Development District), Planning staff did not feel the proposal met the intent of the PDD and the PDD would be used to circumvent the requirements of the zoning ordinance, Conditional use permits are also required for pole-shed type structures. 3. The proposal shows a significant amount of hard surface coverage and would likely not meet Engineering requirements for adequate drainage or storm water ponding, 4. Appearance of26 individual garages on small lots with limited green space could detract from adjacent businesses and affect future development. 5. Fifth Avenue is a highly traveled road with high visibility. AdditJOnatdiscussion on the proposal was also held at the Planning staff fTl""ting "'1 October 4'" Engineering staff reemphasized that the high amount of coverage would be an issue and that detailed plans on drainage and stormwater ponding are required to determine the impact on surrounding properties. Concerns were raised from the Fire Department regarding fire access and turning radius around the private drive, Several staff stated that the proposal is an innovative idea that would have a market, however it would be more appropriate outside of City limits or in a less visible area of town. e Conclusion: Staffhas stated concerns regarding the proposed development, however feedback from the Planning Commission is requested to provide guidance to the applicant.

Three alternate bids were received for adding a folding panition, epoxy flooring and an alternate construction schedule, A total of 6 bids were received (see enclosed Bid Tabulation), Award of the alternates does not effecl the low bidder. The low bid is within your project budget. The following is our reconunendation: Base Bid - Additions and Remodeling $ 1,095,000 The base bid includes the expansion of the administration area, training room and mechanics spaces as well as interior renovation of administration and the lab space. Recommendation: Accept this Base Bid Alternate !'in. 1 - Fo]ding Partition Add $ 8,200 Thi~ alternate adds a folding partition to the training room 10 allow fO! flexibility and multiple uses. Recommendation: Accept this Alternate Alternate No.2 - Epoxy Flooring Add $ 3,000 This alternate provides a more durable epoxy flooring similar to what is installed at the HATS facility. This flooring will be more durable and long lasting than the sheet vinyl flooring in the base bid, Recommendation: Accept this Alternate Alternate No.3 - All. Construction Schedule Deduct $ 27,000 This alternate provides a construction schedule that starts in the Spring of 2007. Staff are not recommending award of this alternate. The reasons for oot recommending award of this alternate relate to the fact that the deduct received is approximately 1/2 of what was expected as well as potential conflicts with other city projects such as the SCADA project and other improvements, Recommendation: Reject this Alternate We recommend you approve the Base Bid and Alternate No, I and Alternate No, 2 and award a contract to Ebert Construction of Loretto in the amount of $].106.200.

Typically a stand-alone building of this size would have higher overhead, mobilization, supervision and profit There are significant savings in the contractors general conditions in having it included in the bid for the office expansion project. Having the garage as a separate structure was discussed during the study phase of the project.
