(a) CONSIDERATION OF ISSUING INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND TO LARRY AND SHERRY BETHKE • The public hearing was called to order at 8 :00 P.M. by Mayor Stearns. Mr. John Bernhagen, Executive Director of Community Development 1 �� COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 129 1985 i Corp., explained the criteria used to determine the issuance of in- dustrial revenue bonds. It was the board's recommendation to ap- prove the application for a $1,400,000 motel project. Architect John Korngiebel presented drawings for the proposed 52- room project. Mr. Larry Bethke stated 60% of his clientele would come from out of town and would not be in competition with the other existing motels. No feasibility study had been prepared on the project. Mr. Jim McClure, 1301 Campbell Lane, asked about the city's limita- tion on issuing industrial revenue bonds and if approval of all the projects would exceed the city's allotment. City Administrator Plotz responded approval of all the projects would exceed the city's limit by $160,000. However, the city would have two options to obtain additional funding. Mr. Michael Wilhelmson, Coon Rapids, commented on 60% of the custo- mers coming from out of town and not competing with the other motels in town. He asked where the other 40% would come from. 0 Mr. McClure commented on the lack of a feasibility study on the proposed project. He pointed out that at the time the S & L project was done, they were required by the city to have a study prepared. Alderman Carls responded that the S & L project also included tax increment financing, which the Bethke project did not. Therefore, the city was directly involved. Ms. Betty Beightol, owner of Hutch Motel, remarked that the Bethke project followed the guidelines on 7 points; she inquired about the two points that did not meet the guidelines. She stated there would be a financial advantage to competition. Mr. Dave Bagne, owner of King Motel, asked if the Community Devel- opment Corp. had considered competition with other local business. There was some concern in the guidelines of direct competition to other business. The two applications should be considered together rather than independently. He questioned if the town was capable of supporting this number of beds. He also felt consideration should be given to a feasibility study. Mr. McClure stated that due to changes in state and federal laws, the city and Council have more responsibility regarding industrial • revenue bonds since there is a limited amount allocated to each city. The Council has the responsibility to decide whether or not the project is good for the city. 2 • COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1985 Mr. Bob Mlinar, manager of Americ -Inn, thought it wouldn't be fair to look at the room rates as proposed; the actual charge may be lower. Mr. Bagne stated he met with the Chamber of Commerce in 1981 when he purchased the King Motel. At that time studies showed the pro- jected growth rate of Hutchinson to be two percent. Mr. Bernhagen explained how industrial revenue bond guidelines were determined. The board looked at certain criteria and forwarded fi- nancial information to the Council to aid them in making a decision. Alderman Mlinar moved to close the hearing at 8 :50 P.M. Motion seconded by Alderman Torgerson and carried unanimously. The motion was made by Alderman Mikulecky to approve the commercial development revenue bond for the Bethkes' Victorian Inn project and to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 8003. Alderman Mlinar seconded the motion. The motion was amended by Alderman Carls to provide the provision that the three stipulations recommended by the city's auditing firm be included in the motion; namely: 1) personal guarantee of owner(s), (2) assignment of life insurance on the owner(s), and (3) a performance bond to assure (the lender) that the project is com- pleted. Alderman Torgerson seconded the amended motion, and it unanimously carried. The motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF ISSUING INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BOND TO MICHAEL AND LOANN WILHELMSON The public hearing was opened at 8 :55 P.M. by Mayor Stearns. Mr. Michael wilhelmson reported on the proposed 22 -unit addition to the existing Americ -Inn Motel. Executive Director John Bernhagen stated the Community Development Corp. Board felt the proposed project met five of the nine guide- lines criteria for approval. It was moved by Alderman Torgerson to close the hearing at 9:07 P.M. The motion was seconded by Alderman Mlinar and unanimously carried. Alderman Torgerson made the motion to reject the application. The motion was seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and failed three to two, . with Aldermen Torgerson and Mikulecky voting aye and Aldermen Carls, Mlinar and Mayor Stearns voting nay.

The request is to rezone property M located at 29 4th Ave. N.W. and a portion of the lot located at 402 Main St. North, from R-2 to C -2 for the purpose of providing a parking lot to the adjoining Gas Hutch. Mr. Hornick also proposes some upgrading and expansion of the present station. There was no one present regarding the request. As there had been no change from an earlier request which the Planning Commission had recommended be rejected, it was the consensus of the Commission to proceed.

Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City Council that the rezoning as requested be rejected. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONTINUATION OF REZONING REQUEST AS SUBMITTED BY ROBERT HORNICK (IC-1) Chairman Romo reconvened the hearing at 7:32 p.m. with the reading of publication #3364 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 3, 1985. The request is to rezone property lccated at 35 4th Ave. N.W. from R -2 to IC -1. There was no one present regarding the request. In discussion at the previous hearing, it was determined that zoning this one lot IC -1 would be spot zoning, and the Planning Commission would prefer to consider IC -1 zoning for both areas. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing at 7 :35 p.m. Seconded by Mrs. Young, 1 the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council that the request be rejected. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE AS REQUESTED BY ROBERT MCGEE 40 Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 7:35 p.m. with the reading of publication /3378 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, February 7, 1985. The request is for a 7.61 variance to allow the construction of a proposed upper level onto an existing basement foundation, with an attached 18' by 25, garage and a front porch, 8' from the frontyard property line, on property located at 173 5th Ave. N.E. It was determined that the average frontyard setback for that area is 15.81. City Administrator Plotz stated that the Planning Commission had previously approved a sideyard variance for the same structure. At the time of that request, the survey did not show the garage extending to the front or the front porch. When staff was made aware of those plans, it was determined another variance is required. Mr. Robert McGee was present to explain the request. He raised a question about the necessity of the variance. There was discussion about whether or not the "street line" was to be used or the "property line ". Building Official Pittman maintained that the variance was necessary because of the the average setbacks of the surrounding homes. It was also noted that there was an unusually long boulevard in this area - 221. Mr. Ebent raised a question about adequate parking. It was decided parking was available. so After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing at 7:44 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the variance as requested. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS REQUESTED BY FARID CURRIMBHOY (MONTESSORI SCHOOL /DAY CARE CENTER) Chairman Romo opened the heairng at 7 :45 p.m. with the reading of publication #3379 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, February 7, 1985. The request is for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a Montessori School /Day Care Center in the lower level of a proposed duplex on property located at 504 East Highland Drive in an R -2 zone. City Administrator Plotz explained that this was similar to the request considered at the January meeting, but was for a different location. He also noted that the new plan had one less classroom so less parking was required. Mr. Farid Currimbhoy was present to state that he had spoken to the neighboring property owners and their only request was for a "slow" traffic sign to be erected to protect neighborhood children as well 2 • as those who might be attending the school. He further explained that after the project received City approval, It must still be approved by the Department of Human Services. Mrs. Lyle Emme, 524 Highland Park Drive, stated that as neighbors, they would have no objection to the proposed school /day care operation. Mr. Ebent asked about the difference between a nursery school and a day care center regarding "home occupation" and what is allowed by our ordinance. City Attorney Schaefer responded that "home occupation" is defined as something that is "incidental to the residence and occupies a certain percentage (25S)." He further stated that as this proposal is for the lower level to be occupied as a nursery school and the upper level a home, it was not incidental to the residence. Nursery schools and day care operations are required to meet the same safety requirements by the State. A difference is that the nursery school may require more certified personnel. After discussion, Mr. Erickson made a motion to close the hearing at 7: 50 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as requested. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. (e) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE #466, SECTION 4.25 Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 7:55 p.m. with the reading of publication #3380 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, February 7, 1985. The proposal is to amend Subdivision Ordinance #466 Section 4.25, to increase the numbers of days al- lowed before a final plat must be filed with the register of deeds after it has been approved by City Council. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson moved to close the hearing at 7:57 p.m. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of changing the 90 days to 270 days as proposed. Seconded by Mr. Ebent, the motion carried unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS (a) REVIEW OF SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR REZONING REQUESTS Mr. Gunnar Isberg, Planning Consultant from Northfield Minnesota, presented alternative approaches for requiring site plans as part of the development process as it relates to rezoning. He supplemented his presentation with written handouts detailing the alternatives and answered questions of those in attendance. After the discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission that they would like to study the alternatives as presented before making a recommendation to the City Council. 3 5.

The board discussed the recent change in tax laws requiring extensive record- keeping for reimbursement over and above 20.50 per mile to employees. It was felt that an amount over 20.50 was of little advantage in view of the records needed to substantiate reimbursement. Following discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Durfee, to approve a change in the mileage reimbursement to hospital employees from 230 per mile to 20.50 per mile. Carls, Durfee, Mullan and Skeie were in favor. O'Brien opposed. Motion carried. F. Blue Cross /Blue Shield Vote. Graves presented a letter and list of candidates for members -at -large to the Blue Cross /Blue Shield board of directors. The list presented had been narrowed down by a previous vote requested by Blue Cross. Following discussion: Motion was made by Durfee, seconded by Calrs, to nominate Jerry Crest of Mankato; Roger Metz of Winona; Gaylord Bridge of Faribault; and Jeffrey Stevenson of Redwing as members - at -large to the Blue Cross board of directors. All were in favor. Motion carried. G. Title III Grant. Graves informed the board that the hospital has declined to submit final draft for a Title III grant because current funding of the day care program through Title II, alternative care grant, and private monies is now adequate. The grant may be pursued in the future, however, . if the money situation should change. H. Joint Meeting with Glencoe. The board was reminded of their joint meeting with the Glencoe Area Health Center board of directos scheduled for Tuesday, January 29, at 7:00 PM in the Large Conference Room. Hors d'oeurves will be served, and a speaker from Methodist Hospital will talk to the groups about home health care. I. Planners. Thompson and Penrod made a presentation to the board regarding hospital services and physician relationships. An outline of their presentation is attached. Following discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Durfee, to hold a joint meeting between the board and Medical Staff on February 11, 1985, at 5:30 PM at the Velvet Coach meeting room, for the purpose of discussing a board/medical staff retreat. All were in favor. Motion carried. Statistical Report. The statistical report was presented by Graves. An overall 3 decline in inpatient census for the year was noted, along with a substantial increase in outpatient services. Accounts Payable. Motion was made by Durfee, seconded by Mullan, to approve for payment the attached listing of accounts payable and cash disbursements in the amount of $375,380.52. All were in favor. Motion carried. 0 3 Annual Board of Directors Meeting - January 14, 1985 Page Four Financial Statements. The financial statements were presented.

Durham had recruited and screened 230 applicants for the position; qualified applicants totaled nine. Only one applicant had been telephone interviewed. There were no personal intgrviews. Durham cited reluctance to take a solo position and the size of the town as concerns from the applicants. Further developments will be reported to the board as they occur. B. Copier. Rosenow presented statistics on replacement of the hospital's IBM 3400 copier with two Xerox copiers (1045 and 1020). There would be a cash outlay of $662 after discounts and trade -in (3400 and Savin copiers). The hospital would be paying a net increase of $5.64 per month over current cost. Following discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Durfee, to approve purchase of the copiers as presented. All were in favor. Motion carried. Adjournment. Motion was made by Durfee to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned by President Skeie at 8:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, Zl,��u�lkonen Rolly Balks Recording Secretary Secretary �( LH T Presentation by Bob Thompson and John Penrod of LifeSpan - January 14, 1985 Large Conference Room - 7:00 PM Thompson and Penrod introduced themselves to the board. They recapped their meetings with the hospital department heads and medical staff members, and distributed an opinion survey to everyone present. While the survey was being completed, Thompson spoke to the group about programs the hospital could be involved in to reach more patients. These programs include: 1. Satellite Clinics (already have) 2. Urgicenters 3. Mobile Diagnostic Centers (getting contact started may convince outlying patients to come to HCH) 4. CT Scanner (in the works) 5. Ultrasound and Mammography (in the works) 6. Geriatric Center 7. Health and Wellness Programs (started) 8. Chemical Dependency (already have) 9. Mental Health Unit (already have) Specific strategies to be implemented for market planning: 1. Focus groups (meeting of small group reporting from key group of consumers) 2. Internal marketing 3. Ratio analysis to come up with required return on investment 4. Investment protocol (Penrod relayed that at Abbott - Northwestern, • they are required to go through a systematic presentation stating the basis on which they are projecting volume, use, financial performance of service, and compare this to the present system; requests are much more thoughtful with this approach) Thompson stressed physician relationships - H/MS /P, McSH, PPO (become part of an established PPO or start your own). In order to promote good relationship with the physicians, a retreat was suggested, with physicians and trustees attending, to discuss the following issues: 1. PPO's 2. McSH Joint Ventures 3. Satellite Clinics 4. OB /GYN Recruitment 5. Internal Medicine 6. Medical Center Use of Space 7. Marketing 8. Affiliation with Multi - Hospital Group It was agreed to contact physicians and attempt to schedule a joint meeting for February 11, 1985, for the purpose of discussing a board/medical staff retreat. 5 HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL and GLENCOE AREA HEALTH CENTER JOINT BOARDS OF DIRECTORS MEETING - January 29, 1985 Large Conference Room - 7:00 PM Present From Glencoe: Duane Klaustermeier, Trustee; Bob Johnson, Trustee; Al Gruenhagen, Trustee; George Sedivy, Trustee; John Doidge, Administrator; Chuck Gersdorf, Executive Director; Dr. Peter Smyth, Med. Dir. Present From Hutchinson: Rev. Thor Skeie, Trustee; Joan Ewald, Trustee; Rolly Balke, Trustee; Norah Mullan, Trustee; Bob Durfee, Trustee; Mike Carls, Trustee; Dr. William O'Brien, Chief of Staff; Phil Graves, Administrator; Bill Rosenow, Assistant Administrator; Jane Lien, Director of Nursing Services; Carolyn Decker, Dietitian; Laurie Hulkonen, Recording Secretary; Kathleen Ogren, Hutchinson Leader The meeting was called to order at 7:20 PM following hors d'oeurves. President Skeie welcomed the Glencoe board to the meeting. He asked that common concerns and fellowship be shared during the meeting. Those present introduced themselves and gave their length of service to their respective institutions. Gersdorf introduced the speaker for the evening, Claudia Wennerling, RN, who is • the department director of home care at Methodist Hospital in Minneapolis. Wennerling highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of home health care, current trends leading to home health care, and spoke of some of Methodist's experiences in rendering that service. (See attached.) Discussion of Home Health Care. The group discussed Wennerling's presentation an asked whether or not home care is the best thing for the patient. Wennerling felt that sometimes it can be superior to that in the institution; depending on the people. Hiring experienced RN's and therapists to assess the patient who relate well to the physician is necessary to ensure good home care. When asked about home care competing with the nursing homes, it was stressed that home care is not competing because home care patients do not need 24 -hour care that a nursing home provides. Home care is another piece the continuum of care and not meant to replace anything already in place. It was suggested that the hospital could perhaps fill in the gaps left by the public health nursing service, which now supplies home health care services in the county. Weekend, holiday, and evening hours can be scheduled for visits if needed. Wennerling stressed that the physician support is needed; for a service like this to survive, it is the physicians who must refer patients. Wennerling felt that a joint venture between the two hospitals would be beneficial because driving distances to the patients in the service area are so far, and there are two points (hospitals) to go out from in order • to reach the patients. This should help keep costs down. joint uoaro ntg. - i /zwts5 Page Two Mobile Ultrasound and Mammography. A joint program for mobile ultrasound and mammography is being pursued because neither hospital at present has large enough base to pay for initial cost of equipment and provide a fair return on investment. The Hutchinson Hospital has bought a mammography unit, and Glencoe now contracts for services elsewhere. The plan at this time is to buy a van, hire a technician, and shuttle the van back and forth between Glencoe and Hutchinson. The boards were encouraged by Dr. Smyth to think along the line of joint ventures of this type, which can work out to be to everyone's advantage. Preferred Provider Or anizations. The group discussed the fact that health maintenance organizations s are currently working to get into our area. Graves said Hutchinson Hospital feels a real threat from HMO's because our contract with Blue Cross automatically extends any discounts allowed to HMO's to Blue Cross. Preferred provider organizations (PPO's) were discussed. PPO's operate differently from HMO's and are more attractive to an administrator because the hospital and doctors can get together and write a plan to sell to any group. If a patient receives primary care at Hutchinson, for example, he will not have to pay a deductible; if he goes to Waconia, however, he will have to pay a higher amount (deductible) for the service in order to access the system. Money generated by a PPO goes toward lower prices for the group. HMO's are owned by stockholders, so money made goes to the stockholders and not to the physicians or to lower patient costs. Gersdorf asked the boards to let he and Phil know whether or not they should continue to work together on this. Ad4ourrm�ent. There being no other items for discussion, the meeting was adjourned n at 9:00 PM. Respectfully submitted, �C�GCL��CG` �i..�. -r✓ ur a Hulkonen Rolly Balke Recording Secretary Secretary LH 0 Presentation by Claudia Wennerling, RN (Methodist Hospital) - 1/29/85 There will be four times the need for health care now being given by 1995 . to serve the aging population, which is estimated to be 34 million people over 65 by 1995. Trends are toward cost containment, attitudinal changes in younger physicians, higher technology, and teaching the family to perform a service for the patient. Home health is now provided by public health agencies, hospital agencies, and private agencies. Services provided are PT, RT, nursing, and speech therapy: Service Provided Supported By Provided By Health Promotion State b County Tax Dollars Health Maintenance State b County (Unskilled) Tax Dollars Private Pay Health Restoration Private Pay HMO 3rd Party Payor Public Health Agency Public Health Agency Proprietary Medicare- Certified Proprietary - Public Health Agency - Home Health Care Agency Proprietary (For Profit) Criteria for Reimbursement: Agency must be surveyed by State of MN and certified as a provider. - Services ordered and included in treatment plan by physician - Unstable condition (stable not covered) - Homebound (not necessarily bed - bound) - Require skilled services - Part -time (visits) - Intermittent Medicare pays only amount of time needed to provide service, not time it takes to travel to and from patient. A patient can't need a home health service every day indefinitely, but is allowed to use it every day for up to three weeks. Wennerling said that Methodist Hospital's criterion for service is that the patient must live within the service area (defined as within 25 -mile radius). Anyone living outside that area is referred to another service. Home Services (Non- Medicare Payment sources for these services are private pay and, contingent on case, by an HMO or private insurance. Services provided are unskilled (usually), with all categories of service available, and can fit the family's schedule. Non - Medicare services are most frequently provided by home health aides and • homemakers. Wennerling stressed that home care is not a panacea. It is not a substitute for patients needing care provided in an acute care institution or custodial care provided in a nursing home. fJ Wennerling Presentation - 1/29/85 Page Two Advantages of Hospital -Based Home Care Services 1. Discharged patients can remain in the system. 2. Continuity of care. 3. Timely response to referral (nurse might meet the ambulance at the patient's home following discharge to arrange things with the famil right away rather than having to wait hours or days before doing sol 4. Multiple hospital services avialable. 5. Quality control - JCAH certification adds legitimacy to services. 6. Community public relations can be strengthened (home care nurse can soften the feeling of being hurried out of the hospital - "they must care about me if they're sending someone out to take care of me ") 7. A potential revenue source. She encouraged the boards to identify other agencies presently providing services in our service area. Those might include public health agencies, other hospital -based agencies, free - standing proprietary agencies, and others (HMO's, physicians). The next step is to determine the geographic service area for home care delivery and study that service area. The demand for services in different geographic areas is best done through a quantitative approach, using a formula (the best model available), utilizing current utilization data from existing agency (if available), and conducting a retrospective review of records (recommended). Advantages for hospital -based providers include: • 1. Support Services 2. Technical Specialties 3. JCAH - lends credibility 4. Add -on of 13% (by Medicare on hospital cost caps) 5. Share insurances. 6. Cost -based reimbursement (not prospective pay system) 7. Seen as a part of the hospital - quality Some disadvantages for hospital -based providers are: 1. Step -down method of accounting (consequently, costs are higher for hospital -based than for free - standing agency) 2. Wage rates (help keep quality personnel) 3. Present policies /systems 4. More difficult to measure reports 5. Lose operating flexibility Predictions for the future include: 1. Rapid market growth accelerated by cost containment procedures 2. Increasing clinical complexities of home health care services 3. Increasing competition for control of patient 4. Moderation in price increases - emphasis at this time is to build • up agencies rather than turn huge profits 5. Increasing interest in contractual relationships 6. Likely growth of HMO's I Wennerling Presentation - 1/29/85 Page Three Wennerling stressed that hospital -based home care can't work without total hospital involvement - business office, central supply, etc., must work together toward the end result. Typical charges for skilled nursing visits are $60 ($38 direct costs, plus $22 indirect). Methodist carries 75 patients, with 6 RN's making 700 visits per month. Patients might be seen once a month, twice a week, or each day. Wennerling said a hospital should have 6500 discharges per year to warrant a hospital going into home health care. A home care department should make 400 vits per month to break even. She recommended Johnson & Johnson's booklet entitled "Everything You Wanted to Know About Hospital -Based Home Health Care" as an excellent overview of the issue. She also relayed that there is a legislative move to license agencies in this business, so the hospitals might want to move as rapidly as possible.

Skeie turned the meeting over to Graves, who introduced Bob Thompson of Life Span, the long range planning consultant hired by the hospital. Thompson gave an over- view of the planning process thus far. He reported generally about the findings from the questionnaires completed by the three groups surveyed (medical staff, board, and hospital management). Thompson also stressed the importance of physician - hospital relationships and the growing trend toward working together to achieve common goals. Bill Gedge of Select Care was then introduced. Select Care is a preferred provider organization that was created by Abbott - Northwestern Hospital and now includes several other hospitals. Gedge explained the difference between PPO's and HMO's and specifically compared Select Care to Physicians Health Plan, where one would improve on benefits as opposed to the HMO discounting benefits. The general consensus of those present was that a PPO is the direction they preferred to explore further. The main area of interest centered around senior citizen programs because of the aggressive marketing campaign being done in the area by the Physicians Health Plan. Gedge indicated he would obtain more information for the group on how soon they could enter into the market and forward that information to Graves. The issue of cost was discussed. Start -up fees would be $150 per bed, or 51 of PPO patient revenue estimate for the hospital and $150 per physician participating in the plan. There would be no additional cost for the "Over 65" program. ( Gedge will find out more about what it would take to be involved in the Senior Program and report back.) Other costs include a brochure that can be customized to fit •our hospital; advertising directed by the hospital (Select Care prefers to rely on 1:1 contacts rather than advertising to the public); time involved with contacting carriers and community meetings; and marketing (charged at a negotiated hourly rate). -�(4) I -Joint Medical Staff and Board of Directors Meeting - 2/11/85 Page Two Strategy in pursuing this issue was discussed. Glencoe and Hutchinson hospitals .have discussed forming a PPO at a previous meeting. Whether or not Glencoe and Hutchinson do this together, or whether Hutchinson does it alone, it was agreed that physicians and board should work together because neither group could accomplish this alone. The spirit of cooperation has to prevail in order to pull it together. Both the physicians and hospital board members are going to contact their counterparts in Glencoe to decide if this project is worthwhile. There being no further business to discuss at this time, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 PM. pectfully s it e , Philip G Graves Rolly Balke Recording Secretary Secretary PGG:lh 0 • A HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL • REGULAR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING - February 19, 1985 Large Conference Room - 5:15 PM Present: Rev.

The board requested that the phrase "and to authorize the administrator to proceed with renovation" be added to the minutes. Following discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Ewald, to approve both the • minutes of the January 14, 1985, annual meeting of the board of directors, as amended, and the minutes of the January 29, 1985, joint meeting with the Glencoe Area Health Center board as presented. All were in favor. Motion carried. Medical Staff Meeting Minutes. The minutes were presented by O'Brien. No unusual comments were made. New Business. A. Foundation.

The loan would be repaid when sufficient monies have been received in donations. He relayed the foundation board's enthusiasm for the venture. Following discussion: Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, to make a loan of $5,000 to the Hutchinson Community Hospital Foundation, Inc., for printing and promotional costs. All were in favor. Motion carried. B. Carpet Replacement. The capital expenditure request for carpet replacement at the nursing station and orange lobby areas was presented. Following discussion: • Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Mullan, to approve the request for carpet replacement. All were in favor. Motion carried. 4 --QM 3 n U Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 2/19/85 Page Two C. Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). The board spent time discussing PPG's, HMO's, and their methods of operation. Graves explained that Select Care of Abbott - Northwestern, the PPO the hospital is looking at, will come in and work with assisting local insurance brokers to prove to businesses that their employees can save money by getting their health care in Hutchinson. This will just build on the existing plan, and will not require the hospital to create their own insurance company as a PPO unless a specific program is set up for senior citizens. Following considerable discussion, a conference call was placed to Bill Gedge of Select Care, who had offered to answer any questions the board might ask. Gedge described the PPG's marketing plan of approaching associations or groups, rather than individuals, to get all their members into the plan. Select Care works with large groups and groups as small as two, but prefers to go after those groups most likely to as much time as it takes to market the brokers. sign up. The PPO is willing to spend plan to the groups and their insurance Select Care has not had much experience in rural areas but has recently signed Morris Hospital and eight of their physicians. Gedge explained that the program is usually established with the hospital employees, which provides some credibility to the plan for other employers somewhat hesitant to try something new. The following costs were discussed: A. Senior Program: No cost to hospital (cost built into the premium) B. Under 65 Program: Costs are purely marketing, which depends on the hospital's expertise in steering to or from employers C. Brochure: A standard brochure is available and can be changed to fit Hutchinson Community Hospital D. Time Costs: Time spent with carriers, community meetings, local Chamber of Commerce, etc. E. Advertising: Any advertising costs would be incurred at the direction of the hospital. Select Care's approach has been to rely on one -to -one contacts with key administrators rather than advertising to the masses. F. Start -up Fee: $150 per bed, or 5% of PPO patient revenue estimate. G. Physician Fee: $150 per physician H. Marketing: Charged at a negotiated hourly rate. Gedge was asked to detail costs as he perceived them to be and get that information to Graves as soon as possible, including start -up and ongoing costs. Gedge mentioned a meeting the next Monday evening with Northwestern National Life (NWNL) Insurance Company to discuss a program for Hutchinson Technology, • Inc. NWNL is marketing the Select Care plan in the cities, and they feel their benefit in participating in this is not losing so much business to HMO's, their direct competitors. Select Care, as part of Abbott - Northwestern, sees a benefit as being one of the referral hospitals in the plan and, therefore, they will receive more patient admissions. Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 2/19/85 Page Three (C.) Graves will wait for Gedge's written report and confer with President Skeie toto decide if there is need for a special meeting on this subject. D. Trustee Replacement Candidates: The board reviewed a listing of candidates suggested at previous meetings and discussed the needs of the board. Participation from the hospital service area outside of Hutchinson and the perceived need for women's participation were mentioned as criteria to consider. The following additional candidates were suggested: Dori Johnson Sheri Hukreide June Knutson Warren Klammer (Stewart) John Keefe Joann Peterson Don Hartung (Cosmos) Syd Miller Elroy Wagner (Brownton) Pat Bonniwell (Dassel) The board was asked to consider further candidates for replacement and possible expansion of the board, if necessary, to include input from outside the city limits. E. Staff Reappointments. O'Brien presented the recommendations by the medical staff executive committee for approval of staff reappointments. The board reviewed the recommendations. Following discussion: Motion was made by Carls, seconded by Balke, to reappoint the following physicians to their respective staffs: • Consulting Staff: Daniel Frenning, MD Allied Health Staff James P. Felling, PhD Courtesy Staff: Grant L. Griebie, MD (non - surgical privileges) All were in favor. Motion carried. Statistical Report. The statistical report was presented. Average occupancy for the month was 40 %. Admissions as a whole were down - Hutchinson admissions had increased, but patients from surrounding areas were down. OB and medical/ surgical admissions from surrounding areas were also down from last year. It was suggested that the hospital review a listing of births from the Bureau of Vital Statistics to find out how many people with Hutchinson addresses are born in Waconia or Glencoe hospitals. This might give the hospital an idea of where some residents are going to receive their health care. Accounts Payable. Motion was made by Mullan, seconded by Ewald, to approve for payment the attached listing of accounts payable and cash disbursements in the amount of $532,843.28 (including $160,785.32 previously approved). All were in favor. Motion carried. Financial Statements. The financial statements were presented. The hospital • realized a net gain of $28,000 for the month after funding price level depreciation. Expenses for the year are under those of the previous year. • • C1 Regular Board of Directors Meeting - 2/19/85 Page Four Departmental Reports A. Administrator's Report. The report was presented.

The proposed project will consist of acquiring land and renovating a building thereon for use as an 18 unit residential rental facility. The Project is located at 4 Main South in the City of Hutchinson, Minnesota, which is legally described as: Lot 1, North 18 feet of Lot 2, Block 8, South half of the City of Hutchinson, County of McCloud. The current use of the property is the Hutchinson Hotel. The proposed project will be owned by F do T Joint Venture, a Muuiesota general partnership, for use in their business. The estimated total amount of the proposed issue is $600,000. The bonds shall be a limited obligation of the City and the bonds and interest thereon shall be payable solely from the revenues pledged to the payment thereof, except that such bonds may be secured by a mortgage and other encumbrance on the project. No holder of any such bond shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City of Hutchinson to pay the bonds, or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment against any property of the City except the project.

GALEY Attorney at Law March 21, 1985 Mr. Gary Plotz City Administrator City of Hutchinson 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, MN 55350 Re: Rehabilitation of Hutchinson Hotel Dear Mr. Plotz: HOLMES & GRAVEN CHARTERED 170 Pillsbury Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55102 Telephone 612133 &1177 As we discussed in our phone conference of March 20, 1985, we are recommending that the City Council of the City of Hutchinson take the following actions with respect to the Hutchinson Hotel Project at its meeting on March 26th: 1. Adopt Housing Plan - resolution attached. Since the adoption of a housing plan requires 30 days' published notice (which has been given), and the plan can be adopted without any project-specific references (which will be added later as a Program to be adopted after a separate public hearing), there is nothing preventing adoption of the housing plan at this time. Therefore, we recommend that you go ahead with this action at this time. 2. Tax Increment Project —The City Council can continue the public hearing as per the advice of your financial consultant. Alternatively, the City could, if it chooses, adopt the tax increment plan amendment, since it is not developer - specific. The City should meet with the County and School District as scheduled whether or not the hearing is continued; a second meeting with the County and School District will not be necessary. 3. Commercial IDBs and Housing Revenue Bonds —The City Council should establish a new public hearing and cause notice of such hearing to be published (two resolutions with form of notice attached). The republication is necessary because of the change of development entity. The former notice would not comply with the requirements of Section 103(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, because of the change from a general partnership to a limited partnership. Although we discussed the possibility of leaving the name blank to be inserted later, Ihave been advised by Frank Fay that the new developer will be Parkview Plaza Limited Partnership. Therefore, the notices are complete other than the date of the hearing, which must be at least 15 days after the notice appears in the paper. I assume you will set the date and publish notice accordingly. Please advise if I can be of any further assistance.

I hereby request this being entered into the hearing minutes on the Housing Revenue Bonds and Tax Increment Financing March 26, 1985. I have asked Alderman, Pat Mikulecky to read the following: MAYOR STEARNS AND FELLOW ALDERMEN: I have recently been informed that the present owner of what is commonly known as the Hutch Hotel property is requesting tax increment in the amount of $ 285,000.00. He's also including a request for the City of Hutchinson to lease a parking lot, this in my opinion is in gross excess of common courtesy. With information obtained from the McLeod County Court House, the estimated market value for the Hutch Hotel for 1984 was $ 128,800.00, how can a proposed purchase of $ 285,000.00 be justified? Mr. Fay is a real estate broker and should have knowledge that apartment units, including land and garages are able to be provided at a cost of approximately 28,000 - 32,000 dollars per unit, new! I have not seen any reports as to the existing tenants on the main floor of the building, vacating their leased areas, therefore, based on that, there would be no new tenants of the main level. The super structure is being left in place and not changing substantially the esthetics value and /or character of the property. It would appear that based on the amount of hou*ing units being provided, that the request for tax increment funds and the parking lot would be approximately half of what a new unit could be built for. Without tax increment financing all the new generated tax dollars would go for the operations of the city, county, and school district # 423. The fact of the upper levels of the Hutch Hotel being shut down should have no bearing on these financing requests. The building was purchased accordingly and Mr. Fay choose not to maintain the building, to meet the standards as established. As reported the project has previously been approved by the Hutchinson Community Development Corporation and the Hutchinson Redevelopment Authority without having provided a total disclosure as to how the project and financing would affect the tax payers of Hutchinson. With information reported in the Hutchinson Leader, I don't think it's proper to use the Hutchinson city name without a disclosure as to the liabilities and costs incurred by the city which may affect the tax payers. This is improper and unjust. Why is the Hutchinson Housing and Redevelopment Authority becoming involved to privately owned ventures? With a management rate of $ 250.00 per unit, per year or a total of (19 x 250) - $ 4,750.00, who • will benefit? ` Page 2 At a estimated value of approximately $ 30,000.00 per living rental unit including the value of the parking lot and the tax increment funds, how much more or less than $ 40,000.00 per year would the tax payers be contributing to Frank Fay or his heirs or assigns? Yes, could this be approximately $ 40,000.00 per year or yes, could this be a total benefit of $ 800,000.00 to Frank Fay? Why is it such that the tax payers have to request this type of information when it should be provided total and complete through staff and /or organizations approving a project requesting tax dollars. I am not familiar with Mr. Fay supporting the renovation of the Old Armory or the development of the Hutchinson Mall for IRB bonds, how can he now justify the request he has made? With information provided, the expansion of the Hutch Hotel that is being proposed does not include for a competitive bid, therefore, profit costs, etc., are at the discretion of those that develope it. In my judgment, what is being requested is a request of the tax payers to subsidize a project which is already owned by the party associated with the development. To manage and subsidize a project for Frank Fay, who in my opinion, is a clever speculator, not a developer, is unjust to those who have developed and manage their own property at their own expense. Affidavits to the following listed items, should be obtained, then and only then can a proper hearing be provided. 1. Does Mr. Fay own the property; commonly known as the Hutch Hotel? 2. Who did Mr. Fay purchase the property from? 3. How much did Mr. Fay pay fog the property at the time of purchase? 4. How much was applied to the down payment at the time of purchase? 5. Who will receive the $ 4,750.00 per year for managing the property? 6. What is the occupancy factor for Park Towers for the year 1984? 7. What is the financial statutes for Park Towers for the year 1984? 8. What is the occupancy factor for the Evergreen Apartment complex for the year 1984? 9. Is the Housing Authority establishing a rate of, how many dollars per unit, per month, guaranteed by the government, for the repayment of the debt? 10. Is the dollar value that may be established by the Housing Authority then going to be subsidized by tax dollars? 11. What is the valuation established for each completed apartment unit? 12. What is the appraisal valuation estimated by the County Assessors office for the completed project? 13. What provisions are in the agreement so that the property can not be exchanged, sold or transferred prior to all bonds and /or mortgages for said project paid in full? 14. Who will own the Hutch Hotel property after the city has provided rental of the property and when the tax payers may have guaranteed the rent income? wage 3 15. How much-are the relocation costs? 16. What are the names of the board members of the Hutchinson Housing and Redevelopment Authority? 17. What are the names of the board members of the Hutchinson Community Development Corporation? 18. With the minutes provided the city council as to the claimed support given by the Hutchinson Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the Hutchinson Community Development Corporation, which members voted their support? 19. What statutes are provided, whereby a property owner already claiming ownership of a property, has the right to obtain tax increment funds as it-relates to the acquiring of ownership of a property for development which already exists. 20. What will happen if the improvement of the project is not completed to the value of $ 1,500,000.00? 21. What guarantee by affidavit that the improvements proposed will not be reduced after the hearing is closed and the granting of the bonds, which if said improvements are reduced, would in effect change the valuation established at the time of the hearing? 22. What is the requirement, regarding the calling of a hearing as to the time frame required by law as it relates to the $ 600,000.00 housing bond, $ 500,000.00 Industrial Revenue Bonds, and the $ 285,000.00 tax increment financing? 23. What collateral is pledged to repay the proposed leased parking lot? I hereby object to the providing bf tax increment financing for this project.

The total cost of 1985 would be $7,865, and the City's portion (50 %) would be $3,932.50. Both entities (City and School) are placing this item on their March 26 agenda. The 1985 repair cost would need to come from the 1985 contingency account inasmuch as the repair was not anticipated at budget time 1984.

We put down a 5 to 7 year playing surface on the tennis courts. Instead of the conventional method of repairing net posts and fence posts that have been first heaved, lsd,ich is removal of the posts, jack hammering the old concrete, and reinstall. ing which is a very costly operation. We propose a much simpler and less expensive solution which-is, pound the posts down with our power driver, re- move what lip may remain, and touch up around the posts with concrete. We feel that your new tile system should eliminate the past heaving. I hope this proposal meets your approval. I will visit with you shortly. • Best regards,, Dick Fakes POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE March 14, 1985 • TO Mayor and City Council FROM Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police SUBJECT Parking on South Grade Road I have the request for additional parking which I have interpreted as follows: 1. Request "No Parking" signs on south side of South Grade Road between Merrill and Highway I5. (See attached) 2. Continue current "No Parking" zone on the north side of South Grade Road westward to Merrill Street. (See attached) 3. The complainant also suggests that the boulevard in front of the Fitness Center be curbed in to prohibit customers from parking there. My response is as follows to the above requests: 1. On December I3, 1984 I wrote the Council requesting "No Parking" on the north • side of South Grade Road. At that time I stated that I saw no reason to prohibit parking on the south side of South Grade Road. No evidence has been produced to convince me that circumstances have changed since then. South Grade Road is a wide thoroughfare with plenty of room for traffic to pass by even with cars parked on the south side. In addition it appears to me that on- street parking there provides a convenience to patrons of the stores in the Fitness building. I recommend that the request be denied. 2. I- originally requested that "No Parking" terminate 50 feet west of the westernmost driveway of the Fitness Center. The reasoning was to provide visibility for vehicles entering and leaving the Fitness Center lot. I have personally viewed the location and can see no reason to change the .original Council action. I recommend the request be denied. 3. To curb in a portion of boulevard would be an unnecessary precedent as well as a needless expense. Personally I think that it would cause a situation worse than currently exists. I think we should wait until the frost is out to install permanent markers and enforce the "No Parking" ordinance by issuing citations to cars parked there. DMO:neb POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO FROM SUBJECT Gary Plotz, City Administrator Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police Parking on South Grade Road DATE March 18, 1985 0 I have an addendum to my memo regarding the request for no parking on South Grade Road. I think we should paint the curb yellow adjacent to the driveway into DeMeyer Realty. Ten feet on either side should be sufficient. This should provide adequate lines of sight for people driving in and out of that location. DMO:neb 0 • �E E \_ J 0 REQUESTED BY JIM DEMEYER Request for No Parking signs from intersection of Merrill Street and South Grade Road easterly on west side of street to intersection of Hwy. 15 South. No Parking signs from intersection of Hwy. 15 South for remainder of that which does not have no parking signs to the intersection of Hwy. 15 South and South Grade Road westerly to intersection of Merrill Street and South Grade Road. Suggestion that boulevard in front of Fitness Club be curbed and /or staked so that the ingress and egress driveway are in formation for ingress and egress.

HISTORY On March 1, 1985, Mr. Harold Juul submitted an application for a variance to allow the construction of a duplex on a lot that has 8,712 square feet. The zoning ordinance requires 10,000 square feet for the construction of a duplex in an R -2 zone. A public hearing was held at the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on Tuesday, March 20, • 1985. Mr. Bob Evans of 516 Main Street South was present to state that he objected to development of the lot because of the water problems it would cause for neighboring property owners. He further explained that there was already a significant drainage problem in the area. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required application was submitted and the appropriate fee paid. 2. Notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners as well as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, March 7, 1985. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the afore- mentioned request for a variance be rejected based on that fact that the conditions for granting a variance as detailed in section 6.05 of the Zoning Ordinance have not been shown.

City Administrator Plotz explained that the staff had recommended that the request be rejected on the basis that a single family home could be built on the lot and there was no hardship to the owner shown. Mr. Robert Evans, of 516 Main Street South was present to state he objected to the development of the lot because of the water problems it would cause for neighboring property owners. He further explained the existing water problem for his neighbor;, Mrs. Dorothy Braun of 526 Main Street South, and himself. Mr. Ebent explained that the question before the Planning Commission was whether or not the proposed duplex would fit on the lot. The drainage question would be addressed for any building proposed for the lot when the building and drainage plans were submitted to the building official. Mr. Torgerson read from the State Planning Act, noting that a variance cannot be granted unless undue hardship is shown. In his opinion, hardship to the property owner has not been shown. Dr. Lyke commented that a hardship cannot be created by the purchase of the property. Mr. Erickson noted that this was not a unique situation to the property in question. Mrs. Young noted that the property could be used for a single family 1 q--- I dwelling with no problem. After discussion, Mrs. Young made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City Council to deny the request as submitted, based on the fact that the conditions for granting a variance as detailed in Section 6.05*C of Zoning Ordinance #464, had not been met. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. D. OLD BUSINESS (a) DISCUSSION REGARDING SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR REZONING City Administrator Plotz explained that at the last meeting a formal presentation regarding site plan requirements and alternatives to them was given by Mr. Gunnar Isberg. The Planning Commission felt they wanted to review the options another month before making a recommendation regarding site plan requirements. Mr. Plotz further explained that at the Minnesota Conference of Planners coming March 31 - April 2, site plan requirements would be a topic of discussion. He encouraged the Planning Commission members to attend, if possible, and suggested that a recommendation be postponed until after the conference to allow members and the City Council members to have as much information regarding it as possible. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to • continue discussion of site plan requirements until the next meeting. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF CQMPREHENSI9E PLAN City Administrator Plotz explained that a priority of the City Council for 1985 was to review the Map that shows the long range planning for the City. He suggested that the Planning Commission review the Comprehensive Plan Map at the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission, when the City Engineer is present. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the map be reviewed at the next regular meeting. 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) DISCUSSION OF LIGHTING FOR LIBRARY SQUARE PARK ` Mr. Erickson stated that with the expansion of the library and the focus on Library Square as the "city square ", he would like to have perimeter lighting for Library Square considered. Discussion followed. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend that the Park Board and the Library Board get together to investigate the feasibility of lighting around Library Square Park. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. 2 (b) PRESENTATION BY KEN GRUENHAGEN Mr. Ken Gruenhagen was present representing a GH & S project in apartment development. They are planning a 24 unit apartment building to be located on the corner lot of South Grade Road and Merrill Street. The lot has 459000 square feet and is zoned R -3. They have made application with the Minnesota Finance Agency. The apartments will not be subsidized - will be of the deluxe variety -- the majority being two - bedroom units with rent starting at $400 per month. Mr. Gruenhagen explained that his reason for being before the Planning Commission is that in the final stages of approval by the MFA, the only remaining requirements are letters from the Building Official and Fire Marshal stating the proposal meets the City codes. Today, the building official had informed Mr. Gruenhagen that the project did not meet the zoning ordinance, as the requirements are 2200 square feet per unit and a 30' setback. When the plans were done in July, they met City specifications - 1800 square feet per unit, 25' front setbacks. However, the City amended the ordinance in September. The developers were unaware of the ordinance change. To continue with the project as planned, a variance to allow the 1800 square feet and the 25' setback would be necessary. Mr. Gruenhagen further explained that the problem lies in the financing. To qualify for the financing they are requesting, the land cost per building unit cannot be more than $3,000. They have already purchased the land, so that price is fixed. • By meeting the 2200 square feet requirement, the number of units would have to be reduced to 20, which would make the land cost per unit $3600. Discussion followed. The question of hardship, uniqueness to the property and whether or not granting the variance would changed the character of the neighborhood were raised. After discussion, Mr. Hwang stated that he felt the 301 setback could be met, so a variance for that would not be necessary. He further stated he would not be in favor of the variance to allow 1800 square feet per dwelling unit, as the property could be put to other use. Dr. Lyke stated that he would not be in favor of a variance for the square footage. Mr. Erickson stated that he went along with Mr. Hwang and Dr. Lyke. Mr. Torgerson stated he, too, would have to object at this time. Mr. Ebent stated that he felt that when an ordinance changed, developers and builders should be notified. It was his opinion that as the plans were begun before the ordinance was changed, and due to the time and expense involved with new plans and reapplication for financing, the variance should be granted. Chairman Ebent stated that it was the consenus of the Planning Commission, that at this time, a variance to reduce square footage requirement per unit would be denied. • 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:35 p.m. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously and the meeting was adjourned.

It was the unanimous recommendation that the entities pursue Phase I of the Feasibility Study in the amount of $648. The entities would share in the cost of this Phase I Feasibility Study in proportion with the number of full -time employees. For your information, the hospital has approximately 100 full -time employees, Burns Manor 50 full -time employees, and HRA three full -time employees. The only entity that will not be participating will be the Hutchinson Utilities as they already have a quasi self- insurance pro- gram based on a $500 deductible policy.

Chief of Police gtoo� QR Ynl ►n SUBJECT Cameo Cleaners I talked to Mr. Pat Smith regarding the complaints that had been made about him allowing his dog to defecate on the property of Mr. William Janousek. I also told him that Mr. Janousek had complained that his dog had no license. Mr. Smith told me that he was unaware of the problem with the feces on Mr. Janousek's property and would take immediate steps to correct the problem and see to it that the problem would not continue in the future. He also stated that his dog did have a license and that he did obey the lease laws of the City. Mr. Smith seemed cooperative and anxious to settle this matter equitably. • I talked with Mr. William Janousek and asked Mr. Janousek if he wished to press charges by signing a complaint against Mr. Smith. Mr. Janousek said that he did not wish to press charges and only wished to have the situation cleaned up. He seemed to be satisfied that the efforts that Mr. Smith said that he would make would be sufficient but advised that he would consider contacting the Federal Government should Mr. Smith not continue to comply. 0 DMO:neb TO/ 9 0 PUBLISHED IN THE HUTCHINSON LEADER THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1985 PUBLICATION NO. 3394 DISPLAY BOX AD FOR YOUR /NF ORMgr/ON NOTICE OF VACANCIES ON CITY OF HUTCHINSON BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES Your Mayor and City Council are actively soliciting public participation in local government.

The City of Hutchinson is required by law to consult with the County Board and School District to review "input" on any tax increment amendments. The attached amendment is to assist with the land write -down for rehabilitation of the Hutch- inson Hotel. The rehabilitation of the hotel is known as Parkview Plaza. Earlier this month I had discussed the need to meet with the County Board with Commissioner Chairman Lawrence Wendorff. Because of time constraints with the March'12 County Board meeting, and subsequent meeting with the townships, we concluded that the March 26 meeting would be the best. Please confirm receiving this request to appear and acknowledge your receiv- ing our notice of publication that is enclosed. The public hearing on this project has been continued to March 26, 19859 8:00 P.M., City Council Chambers, City Hall in Hutchinson. Sincerely, CITY OF HUTCHINSON t n.

Specifically, the City of Hutchinson has an allocation of $2,512,000, and we are already exceeding this figure by $163,000; based on "inducement" resolutions already approved and another scheduled for March 26, 1985. The City of Hutchinson requests consideration by the Maplewood City Council for assistance in utilizing a portion of your community's entitlement. The City ap- pears to have an immediate need for $163,000, plus an additional $1,200,000 with- in the next couple months for another anticipated project. In terms of priorities to any other communities requesting similar allotment throughout the state, please place the City of Hutchinson at the top of your list. We would be very grateful if you would inform your City Council of this request, therefore providing the opportunity for discussion. The Hutchinson City Council is anticipated to vote on the IRB inducement resolu- tion on March 26, 1985, that would push the city over the limit by $163,000. Could you please write or contact me at (612) 587 -5600 (home phone) before March 26, 1985. Sincerely, CITY OF HUT,(CH%INSONN Gary D. P otz Q City Administrator GDP: ms cc: John Bernhagen, Comm.

If the city wants to proceed with a temporary signal, the State is willing to pay one - half the cost. Mr. Madole is estimating the construction cost at $40,000 - 50,000. FRANK FAY PROJECT - PARKVIEW PLAZA The city auditors are currently reviewing the financial statements of Frank Fay. I have contacted Larry Wendorff regarding the status of the tax increment amendment. He h , uggested the County Board meeting of March 26 for discussing the amendment. Like - w I have contacted School Superintendent Matejka as to reviewing the amendment with the School Board. FEASIBILITY OF MOTEL PROPOSALS The city's auditing firm, Charles Bailly & Company, has responded favorably with recom- mended conditions. John Bernhagen, Executive Director of Community Development Corporation, will make a pre- sentation on the recommendations of the Community Development Corporation. CED /DONOHUE There has been excellent follow -up by CED /Donohue since being selected as the engineer- ing firm on the wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, Randy, Ken and I will be meeting with PCA on March 21 at 9:00 A.M. in Rose- ville. PRE - TREATMENT CONTRACT WITH PURE CULTURE I e been in contact with Jack Harrison, Environmental Engineer, from the Hercules Corp., pa nt company of Pure Culture. -OVER- At this time Hercules has some concerns about any future sewer charges as a result of the new plant. Therefore, the company has not returned the pre- treatment contract. I have advised CED and Marlow Priebe of the problem, and this is one of the issues we will be discussing with MPCA on March 21. WASTEWATER PLANT SITE ACOUISITION Attached is a letter from CED stating the requirement for an appraisal for the proposed wastewater treatment plant. I contacted the acquisition specialist at MPCA, Linda Prail, regarding the requirements. She stated the appraisal is mandatory and, furthermore, recommends that it be a "certi- fied appraisal" inasmuch as the project will be audited after completion. At this time the city should authorize the appraisal. GARAGE AT 613 SECOND AVENUE S.E. Ralph Neumann has requested authorization to move the remaining garage at 613 Second Ave- nue S.E.
