THE HUTCHINSON ZONING CODE TO CHANGE LANGUAGE REGARDING
SANDWICH HOARD SIGNS
Pursuant to Sections 6.05 of Zoning Ordinance No. 464, the Hutchinson Planning Commission is hereby
submitting its findings of fact and recorrnnendation with respect to the aforementioned request for an amendment
to the zoning ordinance.
HISTORY
There has been increased use of portable sandwich board signs especially in the downtown district. The Sign Ordinance is
• confusing. Section 10. 14, Sign Standards by Zoning District (2d) prohibits use of portable signs except by conditional use
if placed on collector street&. The Prohibited Signs (7) section prohibits portable signs altogether. Of course, the more
restrictive section applies per Section 2.01.
On January 2l' the Downtown Physical Appearance Committee met to discuss the proposed ordinance. Thcy agreed that
an ordinance should be in place for sandwich boards to create guidelines for the business ownen. In the future, we will
address portable signs in other commercial districts.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Notice was published in the Hutchinson Leader on March 6" and March 11 °, 2003
2. Staff would recommend approval of the amended portableftemporary sign ordinance. The ordinance would allow the sign@ on private
property by a permit with a deposit to assure the sign would be displayed seven days and then removed. The deposit will promote the
signage removal. Staff does realize there may be enforcement issues with the ordinance. However, the applicant will be responsible to
reclaim the deposit. If the permit date is more than seven days, the City will claim the deposit and remove the sign. Additionally, the
ordinance provides stipulations of what the signage would not allow (fln@hing lights, moving parts, etc.) A property would notbe able to
have the temporary signage more than 3 times per year (total of 21 days).

Resolution No. 12145
• A Resolution Opposing State Mandated Energy Conservation Programs Funded by
Municipal Utilities
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Stale Legislature has enacted legislation codified as
Minnesota Statute 216B.24 1, which is intended to promote energy conservation, and;
WHEREAS, said statute requires municipal utilities to spend 0.5% of its gross
operating revenues from the sale of natural gas and 1.5% of its gross operating revenues
from the sale of electricity to fund energy conservation programs, and;
WHEREAS, while energy conservation programs are a laudable and worthwhile
goal, the state mandate requiring municipal utilities to fund those programs will result in
higher industrial and residential utility charges which Hutchinson Utilities Commission
ratepayers can ill- afford and which the State of Minnesota can better implement and
fund;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Hutchinson that the City Council opposes the implementation and continuance of the
mandate requiring municipal utilities to fund these programs as a detriment to the
economy of the City of Hutchinson, it being an impediment to industrial and residential
development, and further resolve to call upon the Minnesota Legislature to repeal this
state mandate.

fields that we spread biosoilds on are to wet to get Into. By
approving this change order we will be able to reduce the solids,

Randy, at your request, I prepared a draft copy of change order 'number 3 that can be, used to receive
funding approval for the potential additional operation run time you would like Scott Equipment. to
perform on the bi,osolids drying systern.
You have asked Scott Equiptnent to provide a proposal to providr, operating services for the bicsofids
drying system. They have provided a proposal to you that outlined the conditions of how The services will
be provided and under what conditions they will provide. thern. You provided us with a fax copy of that
proposal to use to prepare that attached change order.
I have included a cost of $13,800 in the change order that assumes an operational duration of six 12 hour
days and some limJted involvement and mark tip for McCormick Construction, It is expected that the
time needed to reduce the sludge volurne will only require five 10 horn days, of operation, so I have built a
little cushion into the cost in case you need to have the additional operating time.
I have contacted have McCormick at N4cCormjck Construction to discuss this additional work with him
At this time, he is checking with his insurance agency to see if he has coverage for this work to be
performed as additional work under a change order to his CODMCL He does, not think he has coverage for
this, and suggested that the City provide the required coverage tinder their insurance prograrn. Dave is
checking with his agency and will get back to us as soon as he is able to determine the status of insurance
coverage. Based on his discussions with his insurance agent, he will decide if he is able to accommodate
this work, at this time via a change oidui as you requested.
P'lea:;e note that one of the conditions of Scott F(luipment's proposal is that they will only complete the
proposed work if someone, and in the case of the language used in the proposal, the City, provides
m&-nnification to Scott Equipment from any liability for damage To City property or employees Through
the operation of the dryer or other equipment operated by the Scott Equipment employee while on site,
The City will need to address this condition should McCormick state they will not be able to.
please contact = if you, have any questions an this proposed change order To McCormick's contract.
Sincerely, Attach: proposed change order number 3

previously would have had to dispose of the excess liquid sludge via commercial hauler and
landfill disposal. A second option is to use the biosolids drying system to process the liquid
sludge to solid pellets. The owner has requested the contractor to subcontract with Scott
Equipment to operate the blosolids drying equipment for a five day period to reduce the volume
of the stored sludge. The owner has received a proposal from Scott Equipment to conduct this
additional operation. A copy of the proposal is attached to this change order. The propowd cost
of the operation Is computed as follows:
• Assuma six days of operation at 12 hours: 6 days x $2.000 per day - $12,[100
• Contractor involvement and markup: 1.800
• Not to exceed total: $13.800
. it is assumed that it will only take five days to reduce the existing sludge storage to an acceptable
level, but an additional day is built into the cost should the owner desire to have the system
operate longer.

Based upon previous authorization by the City, we have completed the Bidding Documents 76; 731 1004
for the Electrical and Controls Improvements for Bldg 20 at the WWTP (Main Lift Station).
Your authorization to advertise for bids is requested. v.=. I m 1 I e
The project consists of replacing the existing controls with new, more efficient drive 763 .5 5 , . , A y 9
mechanisms and providing emergency back -up power for the facility. The existing controls
are more than 15 years old and have reached their design life. Maintenance requirements are
increasing at a rapid rate. The new controls are more efficient and will reduce your short and
long -term maintenance costs, Our estimate of probable construction cost is $220,000.
We propose to begin advertising for bids witb an April 29" bid opening. Bids would be
presented to rho Council during the first meeting of May. To implement this schedule, we
need your authorization by Wednesday, April 9, 2003-
Please let me ]mow if we can be of fltrther assistance.

Re: Soft Drink Agreement
The PRCE Department is requesting authorization to enter into a ten -
year agreement with Bernicks Pepsi to become the preferred beverage provider
at the Hutchinson Recreation Center.
Two proposals were submitted and based on information provided by
the vendors I would recommend entering into this agreement. The preferred
proposal will provide two wireless multi purpose scoreboards for the building
and $50,000 dollars as part of the agreement. The cash portion of the
• agreement can be received upfront or be spread over the life of the agreement.
The decision on how the revenue is received should be reviewed so we will not
be penalized by the State of Minnesota.
I would further recommend that the dollars received be placed into
the Parkland Dedication fund and they be utilized as part of the capital
improvement budget rather than general operations. In light of the recent budget
reductions this is a very positive development. I will be in attending the Council
meeting should you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

MEMO
Finance Department
April 4, 2003
TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROMt KEN MERRILL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLD
Background
We are preparing to depreciate all fixed assets for the City of
Hutchinson required by Government Account Standard Board (GASB)
statement 34. Statement 34 requires, among several items, the
depreciating of fixed assets beginning for the City of Hutchinson
in 2003. In the past all items that have been coded as capital
items for equipment, buildings, etc have been tracked.
It would be proposed to change this past policy to a new threshold
of $1,000 for 2002 and beyond. In future budgets we would move
items that had been previously recorded as machinery, equipment,
etc would now be expensed in the year acquired if they are under
$1,000. we have received an e -mail from our auditors agreeing this
$1,000 threshold would be appropriate for the City of Hutchinson.
Action
We would ask the council to approve a policy setting the threshold
for capitalization of fixed assets for the City of Hutchinson at
$1,000.

IMPLEMENTATION OF STAFF REDUCTIONS
UPDATE TO CITY COUNCIL
April 8, 2003
At the previous City Council meeting of March 25, 2003, the City Administrator and the
management team indicated to the Council that a staff reduction plan, due to the budget
reduction issues, would be implemented in the near term. The following is a summary of all of
the positions/employees included in the implementation plan. All employees subject to the
layoff actions have been officially notified:

As was also outlined at the previous meeting, service and/or program reductions were to be
expected due to the staffing reductions. Specific service reductions that have already resulted
include the following:
• Reduced public hours at City locations including City Center and PRCE. These offices
now have public hours firom 9:00 am. to 12:00 noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There
are no reception services at City Center during office hours.
• Customers are no longer able to access Administration /Finance or Building/Planning
from 8:00 to 9:00 am. and 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. or outside of the office hours. Building
Implementation of Staff Reductions
Update to City Council
April 8, 2003
contractors may still call to arrange for inspections prior to 9:00 am., but building
permits may not be applied for or issued during the lunch hour. Residents are encouraged
to use the Water /Sewer /Garbage/Utility payment drop box located in the City Center
parking lot outside of the office hours.
• The Motor Vehicle Office has maintained its existing business hours. However, motor
vehicle staff are not able to provide reception duties for the other departments for times
outside of the City Center office hours.
• Callers to the main City number now access an automated telephone system that is in
service 24 hours a day. Callers receive a recorded message that includes information
about the change in office hours and numbered options. These options include
Administration/Finance/City Attorney, Sewer/Water /Crarbage/Racycling, Building and
Planning, Engineering/Streets, and an operator. Building and planning personnel provide
the limited operator services, Calls are being tracked departmentally to determine if any
changes to this configuration of the phone system are needed.
• In addition to the reduced office hours at PRCE, the Recreation Center is no longer open
and available for the early morning walkers. Event Center reception hours have also
been reduced to 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Previous hours were 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• With the reduction of two positions in the maintenance area, City parks and other City
buildings/facilities no longer receive the same level of daily attention.
• Public right-of-way and storm water issues from residents will now be directed to the
Assistant Public Works Director. Those issues will need to be prioritized and addressed,
as staff is available.
• Police Services staffing issues surrounding the decision to not fill the vacant police patrol
and CSO /security positions.
Other service level changes will be monitored as they are implemented and reported to the
Council as needed.

The item being discussed at tonight's meeting as Item 5(b)4 is a resolution opposing
additional costs on Hutchinson Utilities ratepayers for energy conservation programs at
the direction of the State of Minnesota, in 2001 the State passed a law requiring
municipal utilities to spend a percentage of its operating revenues on energy conservation
programs. This would be a surcharge that would be added to all HUC ratepayers and it is
significant. Although the required surcharge is 0.5% of the gross operating revenue 1'or
the sale of natural gas and 1.5% for gross operating revenues from the sale of electricity,
this translates into an annual cost ol'approximately $100,000 in additional costs for 3M
and approximately 550,000 extra for HTI. The average residential ratepayer in
Hutchinson would end up paying $15.00 more per year because of this charge.
A representative from the Utilities will be at the meeting tonight to direct any specific
questions you may have regarding this.
