There was a quorum of members present OLD BUSINESS A discussion was held regarding the pre - construction meeting held on April 27, 1999. The members that attended were informed that Tom Wassman will be the on -site engineering representative from TKDA for Phase II improvements. Members discussed the fueling system. A reel or other small dispenser should be investigated. It was felt that a small would be important because the wings of aircraft could pass over the • dispenser while fueling. With the traffic on days when Skydive Hutchinson is working, it is important to have multiple aircraft fueling at the same time. The goal is to keep 180 - degree accessibility to the dispenser(s). It was also discussed that the pad, conduit, and dispenser design accommodate the future addition of JetA fuel. Tom Parker was able to attend the MN Council of Airports Symposium in St. Cloud in lieu of John Olson attending. NEW BUSINESS The Civil Air Patrol has acquired a new double -wide commercial building that they will be moving onto airport property in conjunction with Phase I1 improvements. The building is 24' x 60'. There will be a permanent foundation erected. The exterior will be decorated to match the general color scheme of the new airport buildings. This building will serve as the temporary arrival/departure building. It will also serve as an emergency operations center for McLeod County. There will have to be extensions made for electricity, sewer, and water to serve this building. Olson informed the members of several maintenance - related issues Signs — Mn/DOT has been contacted regarding airport signs. It is expected that they will be erecting their standard airport signs on TH 15. Year 2000 — The City's information services department has been working to identify potential problems with any airport systems as related to the Year 2000 problem. Mn/DOT Aeronautics has been contacted regarding systems pertaining to air traffic and safety. ,41 -0) z Capital Improvements — Some changes were made to the 5 -year Capital Improvement worksheet submitted to Mn/DOT. These changes were to adjust for the later start date for Phase • II improvements, compared to original plans. Budget — Members agreed that the budgets for the future include a cleaning service (at least weekly), in addition to the custodian. Land Credit — A credit will have to be calculated for any land disrupted by cons7ruction that was leased in the past.

The city population is estimated at 13,500; however, it serves a much larger retailing area of up to 70,000 residents within a 45 -mile radius. The city's manufacturing base is over 6,000 employees and prides itself as the high technology town, having both Hutchinson Technology Incorporation (HTI) and Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M). Forty-two other manufacturing companies lend to diversity in job opportunities. The city serves as a retailing, banking, education, agricultural, and health -care hub in Central Minnesota. Historically, it is one of the fastest growing communities in out -state Minnesota and termed one of the "50 Hottest Small Towns in America," by Money • 141u•11 • -1 ; . . The City of Hutchinson has $1,000,000 allocated from the State of Minnesota for a Community/Civic Center. To utilize the funds, the state legislation requires a minimum • of a $1,000,000 public and/or private funding match. The City of Hutchinson was unsuccessful in obtaining a public match through a sales tax election in September 1998. Therefore, the city at this time is pursuing a private match to fund a community/ conference center. There are some restrictions to the state grant. The portion of the development that is funded by the state and matching private investment (totaling a minimum of $2,000,000) must remain in the ownership of the City of Hutchinson. The use and management the facility may be contracted on a long -term basis. Depending on how much "pub use" of the building is agreed upon, the amount of the use may determine if this L a taxable or a non - taxable facility. One goal of the request for proposals is to maximize the use of the facility throughout the day and throughout the week for both public and private purposes. Some of the uses of the facility could include but are not limited to the following: ❖ Banquet Room •:• Conference or Community Meeting Room(s) •:• Performing Arts Area ❖ Trade Show Area Art Exhibit/Education Area Senior Use Area Teen Use Area In several of the above uses the space could be shared based on efficient scheduling throughout the day and week. Another goal is to provide the option to expand the facility, if city or private funding became available, for potential other uses including, but not limited to, a Senior Center, basketball/volleyball/racquetball, or other such facilities and programs. The site may need to be of sufficient size to accommodate these future options in the event private or public funding would be added to the project for expansion purposes. The city is in the process of randomly surveying 800 residents in the community to determine community support for various projects. This survey may be used to assist the City Council with the scope of the project(s) utilizing the state matching funds or any other funding and potential negotiations after submittal of the requests for proposals. 1. Define the public and private use of the building and shared management of the facility. (Examples of potential weekly scheduling needs from the private sector.) Include availability of scheduling opportunities for public use. 2. The city owned portion of the facility should have a minimum construction value of $2,000,000, of which the state and city share shall not exceed $1,000,000. . 3. The city owned portion of the facility should have a minim of 13,000 square feet. 4. The main room shall have seating for a minimum of 650 guests and capable of being split into two or three soundproof sections. 5. The facility shall have a minimum of 4 breakout rooms with a seating capacity of approximately 30 each. The configuration of such rooms maybe flexible enough to provide for breaking a large room down with soundproof dividers. Each of the 4 rooms shall have sufficient locked storage to allow for multi -use of these rooms (i.e. crafts). 6. The city facility shall have sufficient coatrooms and storage rooms within the facility. 7. The acoustics and sound system shall be of highest quality to facilitate both meetings and some performing arts functions. Coordination with local performing arts groups would be helpful. 8. The facility shall be wired to facilitate high technology meetings, including videoconference capability. 9. The facility, depending on size, shall have sufficient paved parking to meet the • city ordinance (see appendix). 10. A "draft" conceptual layout of the city owned facility and adjacent or attached facilities, if any. 11. Identification of the Development Team and credentials. 12. The track history of the developer, including specific past experience in maintaining and managing this type of facility. Additionally, a statement of willingness of the developer to submit sufficient financial statements for a confidential review by the city's auditing firm. 13. A "draft" submission of a proposed lease, including terms and conditions. Strictly for illustrative purposes and by example only, the city offers the following list of nonexclusive items that MAY be considered by the City Council in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of submitted proposals: 1. The ability to coordinate food service to the facility and the type of food service (on site vs. outside catering). Examples of the variety of food service may be helpful. • 3 2. The proximity of existing or proposed lodging to the facility(s). 3. The proximity of other public or quasi- public building(s) that may compliment the facility. 4. The level of commitment to having optioned or secured a given development site. 5. The size of the entire site and the ability to expand additional square footage, if additional private or public monies became available in the future years. The city reserves the right to reject any and all proposals thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to any way limit the ability of the city to negotiate with anyone regarding a proposal. Because of the difficulty in comparing proposals, the city reserves the right to negotiate with, or accept a proposal from, parties who are not necessarily the apparent low bidder. This Request for Proposal is not a solicitation for a competitive bid nor does Minnesota law dealing with competitive bidding requirements govem it. The city reserves to itself, in its sole discretion, the right to determine the terms and conditions of any long -term lease, building management agreement or similar document. The proposals are to be submitted to Gary Plotz, City Administrator, in a sealed envelope by 1:30 p.m. on September 15, 1999 and will be publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. on • September 15, 1999 in the Council Chambers, 111 Hassan Street SE, Hutchinson, MN 55350. 4 July 1S, lyyy v o:uu p.m. ROJECT NO. 99- 03/99 -04 CENTURY AVENUE/DALE STREET Construction Cost $1,256,984.85 Expenses $ 301,676.36 TOTAL $1 City Share Sanitary Sewer Trunk $ 143,371.55 Watermain Trunk $ 64,768.73 Street/Storm Sewer /Trail /Sidewalk $645,6110.86 Sub -Total (55%) $ 853 Assessable Share Sanitary Sewer Lateral $156,445.50 Watermain Lateral $156,445.50 Grading $ 53,053.80 Street/Storm Sewer $338,951.25 Sub -Total (45 %) $ 704,910.08 O'OTAL $1 ASSESSMENTS Watermain Lateral $30 /front foot Sanitary Sewer Lateral $30 /front foot Grading $15 /front foot Street /Storm Sewer $65 /front foot Rates based on low -end of typical residential street rates Typical Lots Existing, Newly Annexed Home w /140' lot $ 17 Ravenwood (1080.81 ff) $151 Welcome to Our Home (Whispering Oaks) $100 McLeod County Agricultural Association $ 95,299.40 Crow River Apartments (Augusta) $ 98 Notes • • Adjusted front foot measurements calculated for irregularly shaped lots ■ Sideyard credits given for corner lots H: PrgeNHemirgsl➢99iA.cvubOJ �• RESOLUTION NO. 11255 • RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT LETTING NO. 4 PROJECT NOS. 99 -03 & 99-04 Whereas, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for the furnishing of all labor and material for the improvement of: Project No. 99 -03 Century Avenue SW from Sunset Street SW to Dale Street SW by construction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and services, watermain and services, grading, gravel base, bituminous base, bituminous surfacing, traiUsidewalk and appurtenances; Project No. 99-04 Dale Street SW from Century Avenue SW Extension to South Grade Road SW by construction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and services, watermain and services, grading, gravel base, bituminous base, bituminous surfacing, traiUsidewalk and appurtenances; and bids were received, opened and tabulated according to law, and the following bids were received complying with the advertisement: Bidder Amount Bid Duininck Bros., Inc.

We own both lots, with our home located on the southern, 1050 Dale property. The 1040 Dale lot has always been vacant, connects to the 1050 lot, and is used only for gardening and for our grandchildren's recreation. Our issue is that the proposed assessment is nearly identical (within $175) on the two lots, while the value of the two is clearly not identical. The 1040 Dale property has no street frontage, it is located behind (west of) the neighboring lot (1020 Dale), and no part of the 1040 lot has any connection to the street, so it is not possible to build another home on this lot. We also believe that since there is no street frontage and no legal access, the proposed improvements to Dale Street have no value to this property. We are retired seniors on a fixed income and have no intention of selling, dividing or making access available to this lot, so no additional city services will be required.When the time comes that these properties are sold, they will be sold as one parcel. We request that the assessment be reevaluated and reduced to only reflect the exposure of • the property to Dale Street. Comparisons to assessments on other property in the area which also have conditions making an entire lot undividable and unbuildable convince us that adjustments can be made fairly and without breaking precedent. The adjusted front footage process used on other properties which have more actual front footage than being assessed for should also be applied in the case here where we have less actual front footage than the proposed assessment. By applying the logic used to arrive at the adjusted from footage on other properies due to portions having an "unbuildable" status, the lot at 1040 Dale St should also be considered as unbuildable since there is no access. If the lots were covered under one legal description rather than individual ones, certainly adjustments to the front footage would be justified, so we believe that should be the case here. We feel we are unfairly being asked to pay for 279.6 ft of street frontage, when in fact we only own 140.5 ft. The additional $17,387.50 is a tremendous amount to pay for improvements and access to services which this property does not need and will not use, now or in the future, regardless of who owns it. Please consider these issues, as the proposed assessments are unacceptable to us. } Sincerely, Pearly and Genevieve Christensen 1050 Dale Street • cc: John P Rodeberg, Gary Plotz ytt�'I e�/ �c�,1 yi3, 99, 0 Des CG T �ss�sTro�llelz-l- lOa & IC 51 S c� 9WCh.1150? , �r> 553'50 T ( ()po.5ec1 5p-ecic amcvn �c /D Oar • 45--)es Me12f5, 017 'he 6Z5-/s a ef�e� e xe e IS p ro P�J A roPWe Y odJ � -k) q-h e ,5 -/,� CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 CITY OF HUTCHINSON - ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 111 HASSAN ST SE, HUTCHINSON MN 55350 (612) 234 -4209 Shoot of NTRACTOR: Wm Mueller & Sons, Inc.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF 4 HE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: 1. Such proposed assessment, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, Is hereby accepted, and shall constitute the special assessment against the lands named therein, and each tract of land therein included is hereby found to be benefited by the proposed improvement in the amount of the assessment levied against it. 2. Such assessment shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of ten (10) years, the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first Monday in January, 2000, and shall bear interest at the rate of percent per annum as set down by the adoption of this assessment resolution. To the first installment shall be added interest on the entire assessment from November 1, 1999, until the 31 st day of December, 2000. To each subsequent installment when due, shall be added interest for one year on all unpaid installments. 3. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the County Auditor, pay the whole of the assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the City Treasurer, except that no interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid by the 15th day of November, 1999; and he may, at any time thereafter, pay to the City Treasurer the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to the 31st day of December, of the year in which such payment is made. Such payment must be made before November 15, or interest will be charged through December 31, of the next succeeding year. 4. The Administrator shall forthwith transmit a certified duplicate of this assessment to the County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists of the County, and such assessment shall be collected and paid over in the same manner as other municipal taxes. Adopted by the Council this 22nd day of June, 1999.

In those cases, the running of temporary service and several electrical extension cords has been both a cost and concern Mr. Durwood Lamprecht from the Bavarian Haus has been working with Quades and the city for a longer term solution. Attached is a proposal and permanent solution that would be helpful for any such future events in Block 50. The city did coordinate the power installation on the south side of Library Square Park, however, it was through a special fundraising effort on the bandstand improvements. The city has paid for the "on-going" electrical costs. Mr. Lamprecht is requesting the city to pay for the installation of $690.00. He in turn plans to offer the Octoberfest in Fall of 1999, however, cannot accept the burden of the expensive temporary electrical service installation which needs to be re- installed each year. • rl — /( Primed on recycled paper - 0 - Ica.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. r ely, 's Muckenhirn 17-4' QUADE'S INC. •� "SIL111515KNIM • As the survey process has progressed, it has been recommended to us by a number of people, including Gary Plotz, that we allow professionals to do more of the actual survey work. The reason for this thinking is that it provides more legitimacy and credibility to the project, aids in the confidentiality aspect, and strengthens the validity of the process and analysis- The task force feels strongly that these are important considerations. We have expended a great deal of effort to assemble this survey- We believe it is a very good survey that can give the council and the city a lot of information and a sense of the direction that the residents want to go. We would hate the effort to be jeopardized in any way. Unfortunately, with each task that you farm out the cost increases. Enclosed is a bid from the University of Minnesota Center for Survev Research for $13, 500 to do basically the rest of our survey; from assembling the mailing list through a prevention at a city council meeting. It is important to note the actual cost will be closer to $15,000 because of the addition of first class postage and printing costs that are not included in this bid. Also included are a list of responsibilities and duties for the MCSR staff, a list of references, and a copy of their brochure. There are several important things to know about the bid: 1. The offer does not include copying or printing the survey and cover letter, the assembly of the survey, #10 initial mailing envelopes, and first class postage for the initial mailing, return envelope stamps and the third mailing and return envelope postage. Postage is estimated to be $1,126. it is recommended that the survey's be printed on light colored paper so they stand out • from other mail, so that is an additional expense. In addition, it is recommended that the cover letter signatures be printed in blue ink so that it looks like they were hand written. 2. The estimate is based on a return of 520 surveys, or 65 %. If we get more returns than the cost will probably increase due to additional processing time. 3. The estimate is based on a "not to exceed basis" for 520 surveys. If things go faster, than the cost will be reduced, all other things being equal. 4. The estimate includes a charge of $1,900 for preparation time and putting on a presentation to the City Council and the public at the September 14th council meeting. Gary Plotz suggested that this be included in the bid. It was pointed out that although a technical report is included, the report itself is not in a format that makes for the best presentation. Therefore, extra time is required preparing that information. 5. The data entry is "double entered ". MCSR subcontracts this task to another firm who enters all the info into two databases and then runs a verification program that compares the two as a check for accuracy. 6. Other optional services are included at the bottom of the estimate. They are placed here as examples of possible ways that the cost could be reduced. 7. This is an adjusted bid that is actually several thousand dollars less than the original. I requested that the numbers be refigured because of the high amount of executive management time. 8. Pam Schomaker, Survey Manager, has donated many hours already consulting on the wording of the survey questions and layout. This was never done with the intent of getting our business, but rather was an effort to aid our efforts. However, the result is a professional, • unbiased, fair survey that wouldn't have happened without her assistance. To put this into perspective, one other university survey center when asked about a question commented that ' would be the type of question we would answer if you hired us". The U of M has always been very willing to assist us promptly and professionally. In addition, they have always been forthright in offering suggestions as a way to save money. I did contact a couple other firms to see first if they would be interested in this job and then to get an estimate on the cost if they would do it (even if they couidn't). We have talked to the following individuals and businesses: A) Don Winkler, Mid - Minnesota Development Commission B) Peter Leatherman, Decision Resources C) Ridgewater College (to see if they could help with mailing and coding/editing) All three of these firms, while interested, were unwilling to take this on at this time. 1. Ridgewater said that they don't have the students to do this over the summer. Otherwise, would be interested in the future. 2. Mid MN - Because of personnel issues would be unable to do this in the near future. Since they were unable take on the project, they were unwilling to take a lot of time preparing an estimate. The quoted figure was very low ($3,500) and it was obvious that enough time was spent thinking about it. One obvious example was on coding and editing of the surveys. Their estimated time was for the secretary to do it in three to four days. At six per hour it would take 87 hours to do 520 surveys once. If you double entered it would take 173 hours. Then that doesn't count the time to enter the data, mailing duties, etc. • 3. Decision Resources - estimated $12,000 - $16,000. Also could not take this on at this time. This firm utilizes phone surveys most often. They figure $8 to $10 hours per survey for data entry which translates to about $5,200 just for that. Again, mailings, coding and editing, and analysis would need to be included. Executive time is based on $150/hour. I requested that they send me something in writing, but I may not have it until Tuesday because upper management is out until then. To close, the task force members all wish the price of doing this was not so high. However, we also want to get the best information from the survey and for everyone to feel confident in the validity of the information obtained. That confidence is invaluable and we believe should be seen as an investment for the City. In addition, a city survey of this magnitude is an exception. When you factor in the free assistance we already have received this bid should seem a little more reasonable. In addition the timing of the survey is at a critical point when you consider the RFP's that will be going out. If the bid is accepted the survey could be sent to the public on Monday, July 19th. As a way to help defray the cost as much as possible, the task force is willing to assemble the surveys, stuff envelopes and deliver them to the U. The Community Needs Task Force respectfully asks that you accept the bid from the University of Minnesota Center for Survey Research. Sincerely, • flulchiusuu City Center • Dear Hutchinson Area Resident, 111 Ilu n slmvt sE Ilutchilwm, hIN 55350 -2522 3211 - Sal. 5151/1 -w� 320 -2.W -42411 To better understand the "needs" the general public feels exist in our community, the Hutchinson City Council authorized the formation of a broad -based citizen task force to help identify and prioritize community needs and suggest possible funding mechanisms. You can help us in determining what our priorities should be. We want to understand what is important to you and what you feel is important for Hutchinson. The Cotmnunity Needs Task Force would appreciate your help on this project by completing the enclosed survey. Your response is yea important and will give the task force and the City Council valuable information in understanding what is important to the public. Your household is one of a small number of randomly selected Hutchinson area residents being asked to give their opinions about the needs of our community. For the survey results to truly represent the opinions of Hutchinson area residents, it is important that lath survey is completed and returned. Residents from outside the city limits are included since they are often users of city programs and facilities. When you consider the total process of addressing a need, four primary factors are involved. These factors are the actual need identification, communicating information about the needs with the public, consideration of available financing options and finally asking the public if they agree or not through the voting process. Taking each of these four factors into account can maximize the chance of successfully addressing any identified need. Beeausc each of these four factors are important in their own right, questions about each are included in the survey. • Please take some time to complete and return the enclosed questionnaire. This is an excellent opportunity to let City officials and the task force know how you feel about these important issues. A postage paid return envelope is included for your convenience. The Minnesota Center for Survey Research at the University of Minnesota is assisting us with this survey. Therefore the surveys are being returned to their office for tabulation and analysis. You may be assured of complete confidentiality. The questionnaire has an identification number for mailing purposes only. This is so your name may be checked off the mailing list when your questionnaire is returned. Your name will never be placed on the questionnaire. Thank you for your help with our survey. Again, to get accurate Information, it is very important that all surveys are returned. If you have any questions, please feel free to call (collect) Pam Schomaker at the Minnesota Center for Survey Research, (612) 627 -4282.

This is comparable to, or batter than, similar national public opinion surveys. Sampling: High quality random sampling procedures are routinely used for al MCSR surveys. For telephone surveys, res..ondents generally are selected using a two -stage procedure: (1) a random sample of telephone n, mbem Is generated to ensure that households with u: listed telephone numbers are ihctuded in the sample. and (2) the itdrvidual to be interviewed within the I mnseh old Is randomly selected. Training: MCSR telephone interviewers complete eight to ten hours of training before they complete fheir first survey. Interviewer training includes general survey research techniques, review of the survey i L*ument and procedures for a specific project, a practice Interview with a staff member, and a pilot Interview with a randomly selected respondent. Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing: MCSR conducts most of its telephone surveys using a computer assisted telephone Interviewing (CATI) system. Interviews are conducted at microcomputers which display questions in the proper order. By using CATI, a preliminary data file is availade for analysis immedia4y after the surveys are completed. Monitoring: Interviewers are monitored using a silent entry telephone monitoring system. This enables a monitor to 9sten to both parties dung Selected Interviews and provide irvrhedlate feedback about how to Improve interviewing quality. Mail Surveys: Each person selected to participate In a mail survey receives an Introductory letter, questionnaire, and postage -paid return envelope. Two follow -up reminders are sent to all nonrespo dents. This multiple mailing procedure typically results In a high response rate for MCSR mall surveys. 1D RA FT of COvER- L1:7jc =K. u Dear Hutchinson Area Resident, Hutchinson City Center 111 Ha n Street SE Hutchimon, hfN 55350 -2522 320 - 587- 51511Fe 320- 234 -4240 To better understand the "needs" the general public feels exist in our community. the Hutchinson City Council authorized the formation of a broad -based citizen task force to help identify and prioritize community needs and suggest possible funding mechanisms. You can help us in determining what our priorities should be. We want to understand what is important to you and what you feel is important for Hutchinson. The Community Needs Task Force would appreciate your help on this project by completing the enclosed surve Your response is v�ry important and will give us and the city council valuable information in understanding what is important to the public. Your household is one of a small number of Hutchinson area residents being asked to give their opinions about the needs of our community. For the survey results to tnilv represent the opinions of Hutchinson area residents, it is important that rach survey is completed and returned. Residents from outside the city limits are included since they are often users of city programs and facilities. When you consider the total process of addressing a need four primary factors are involved. These factors are the actual need identification, communicaling information about the needs with the public, consideration of available financing options and finally asking the public if they agree or not through the voting process. Taking each of these four factors into account can maximiz the chance of suooessfhlly addressing any identified need Because each of these four factors are important in their own right, questions about each are included in the survey. Please take some time to complete and return the enclosed questionnaire. Although appearing lengthy, test • trials have shown that the survey only takes approximately twenty to thirty minutes to complete. A postage paid return envelope is included for your convenience. The Minnesota Center for Survey Research at the University of Minnesota is assisting us with this survey. Therefore the surveys are being returned to their office. You may be assured of complete confidentiahty. The questionnaire has an identification number for mailing purposes only.

Rodeberg, Director of Engineering/Public Works RE: Turn Signal at South Grade Road and TH 15 South DATE: July 12, 1999 Several groups have asked us to look at adding left -turn signals on South Grade Road at TH 15 South, including representatives of Cash Wise and First Minnesota Bank. They were not included in the current TH 15 improvements due to: • The tight design schedule to meet demands of current development Adding a turn signal on an existing side road has a different set of procedures and time frames to new construction. • No agreement from Mn/DOT and no funding availability The current project was purposely reduced in scope as much as possible in order to be able to complete the work within the required time frames. Only the minimal work needed was included in the final product. The additional review and agreements needed to do this work would have slowed down the project. Mn/DOT has provided NO funding for the current project, whereas we may receive at least some funding for this upgrade. County Fair Marketplace is currently paying half of the cost for the two signals adjacent to their property. The cost of adding turn signals may be $15,000 to 20,000 or more. It is my suggestion that we assess at least a portion of these costs to the benefiting properties. Attached is a letter to Mn/DOT District 8 requesting the development of an Agreement to complete this work. It is hoped that Mn/DOT would contribute 50% of the costs, however they have recently been passing most of these costs on to municipalities, as noted in the TH 15 South work. If you approve the request for the project, understand that the work could cost between $19,000 and 28,000 depending on the engineering involved. Please review the attached letter and let me know if you would like it sent to Mn/DOT for consideration. • cc: Gary Plotz —City Administrator file: Traffic Signals 9 -� Pnmcd on recycled Na r - Hutchinson Citv Center 111 Hassan Stmet SE Hutchinson.

Box 768 2505 Transportation Road Willmar MN 56201 RE: TH 15 South Traffic Signal at South Grade Road Adding Turn Signal to Existing Light Dear Mr. Trooien: We have had many concerns raised about the increasing traffic congestion and safety issues at the intersection of TH 15 south and South Grade Road. We have had requests for several years to consider adding left -tum signals to the existing lights, but have resisted due to concerns about costs and warrants. We now believe that it is in the community's best interest to pursue completion of this work at this time. Several questions arise: 0 • Is a Traffic Signal Justification report or other warrant/engineering review needed? • What Agreements must be completed before this work can commence? • Will Mn/DOT share in the cost of this work (50 -50 ?)? This request was approved by the City Council at their meeting of July I T We would like to proceed as soon as possible to complete this work. Please let me know what our next step should be.

Re: Proposed bike path. I would like to take this time to express some concern over the proposed bike path to be built on the 1400 block of 8' Avenue South West. I five at 1430 8 Avenue South West, and while the proposed path will be across the street, I question the intentions of the City to build this path. It is the intention of the City to put in a 13 -foot path, 5 feet of sidewalk with 8 feet of trail. How many people and bikes do you think will be using this path? Many in the neighborhood question the need for a path this big and the City's ramroding of the installation I think I can safely say that while everyone in the neighborhood likes the idea of a sidewalk, the bike path is ludicrous. A bike path to where? It will run from School Road going west approximately two blocks and stop at a farmers tree grove. This farmer has given no indication of selling soon. And when he does there are miles of undeveloped land on the other side before it could meet with another path. This proposed path will be in need of replacement from old age before it can connect with anything. Hardly a needed through street for traffic flow. We have heard that it is the intent to have e Avenue as through street. Why would or should the City plan on this being a through street if it is only 32 feet wide and has restricted parking to one side of the street? Could • someone explain why this path is needed? Is there some money involved here that the City has to spend? I challenge each of you to look at the block of 8"' Avenue SW between Lakewood Drive and Roberts Street and tell me that the asphalt path laid is an asset to the community or neighborhood. Another path to nowhere. I would challenge you to tell the neighborhood why we need a path to nowhere. Why should the City of Hutchinson build this proposed path? It goes nowhere, and it won't go anywhere for a long time. How can you justify this as a good use of City money? It appears that the City of Hutchinson has found it sufficient enough to paint bike paths on the streets for the tremendous amount of bike traffic anticipated but needs to spend tens of thousands of dollars to build and maintain this bike path. I ask you to give this proposed path more consideration. Please give this some common sense attention. Richard Nagy 14308 th Av. SW Hutchinson, MN 0 • Hutchinson Fire Chief 111 Hassan Street S.E.

PAUL — One of the more controversial issues facing Minnesota's farm economy is the growing use of "producer contracts" between farmers and food processors, according to Rep. Bob Ness (R- Dassel). Last week, Minnesota Attorney General Mike hatch issued a 600 -page report on the use of the contracts, and other issues affecting the farm economy. The report called fora joint commitment to looking deeper" into the legality of farmer and producer contracts, which are important to farmers and to producers. "Before the state decides to consider legislative initiatives on contracts for farmers and producers, we should understated the positive and negative economic impacts of these agreements," said Ness, the chairman of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Finance Committee. "Good decisions are based on good information." Ness was the author of the 1999 House Farm Bill, which included funding for a study of contracts between fanners and producers. Ness noted that fanner producer contracts have a long history in Minnesota, with agribusiness, corporations, processors and through a broad range of farmer co -ops. "Almost all vegetables and poultry raised in the state are sold under contracts that guarantee farmers a range of prices with some return for delivering set amounts of ouality products on a certain day." Ness said. "Many dairy farmers also have contracts, some that pay them bonuses for producing higher volumes of quality milk_ "There is a growing use of producer contracts across the spectrum of agribusiness, and in the pork and beef industries," Ness continued. "Some believe that soybean growers, corn growers and grain farmers will be relying more heavily on contracts in the near future. So it is time to look at the cases for and against these agreements before we get involved in lawsuits. "We do need to help both the farmers, the processors and buyers of farm commodities to be profitable and successful," Ness said. Those who support the use of producer contracts cite several benefits for farmers: • 1 . Risk Management: Farmers can avoid fluctuations in market prices by locking in a range of prices they will receive for their crops or livestock before they incur operating costs in a given year 2. Income Stability: By locking in revenues season after season, farmers with contracts can smooth out 1W the impacts of troughs and peaks in the farm economy over several years. 3. Market Identification: Farmers can identify and lock in buyers for specific quantities and qualities of craps or livestock. 4. Fnrm Credit: Farmers can obtain operating loans to purchase superior seed or livestock. The loans can come directly from the food processor, or from other lenders who see the contract as a collateral asset. 5. Farm Assets: Contracts can reduce the need for farmers to secure operating capital in cases where the contract requires the food processor to provide livestock, feed, seed, equipment, or other capital assets. 6. Farm Specialization: Contracts can allow some farm families to specialize in one aspect of livestock production, such as farrowing or finishing of hogs. 7. Farm Diversification: On the other hand, a farm family seeking to diversify its work could use a producer contract to add livestock production to a cash crop operation. 8. Improved Etficienev: Farmers with contracts can be assured of the latest information about the quality crops and livestock demanded by consumer;, as well as technical advice, managerial expertise, and market knowledge transmitted by the food processors. Those who support the use of producer contracts cite several benefits for food processors: 1. Efficiency and Orderly Flow of Quality Inputs: With contracts specifying quality, quantity and date of delivery, processors can be assured that they will receive enough inputs to keep their lines of production operating on an orderly schedule. 2. Risk Manamement: Production contracts can also protect processors from sudden spikes in market prices that might disrupt production schedules. 3. EMoodina to Consumers: Processors can use contracts to respond to shifting demands by consumers, such as a shift to leaner pork or beef which can be affected by genetic requirements in a contract. 4. Economies of Scale and EMciencv: By contracting with a smaller number of larger and more efficient farmers, processors can streamline their purchasing operations and reduce their operating costs. Supporters of producer contracts note that consumers also may benefit from lower costs and higher quality products. Opponents of producer contracts raise several concerns: 1. Unfair Terms: Because food processors have more economic power and a variety of potential partners, they may use a buyer's market to force unreasonably low prices or unreasonable conditions on the farm families. If terms keep the risk on producers, risk management for farmers may be short- lived. While food processors employ legal staffs to draft contracts, farmers may be unaware of the implications • of many clauses in producer contracts. 2. Loss of Producers' Farms: Long -range terms in the contract may result in the farm family's loss of • control of their farmland. This is a particular concern with respect to certain ledger contracts. I Loss of Freedom: By agreeing to terms in the contracts, farmers may lose flexibility in using the best local practices relating to uses of fertilizers or feed. 4. Interference with Cash Markets: As a larger percentage of sales of a crop or type of livestock are controlled by contract purchases, farmers who rely on cash markets to shape their own marketing decisions will have less information with which to plan their operations. This may become less of a concern as more stringent federal price- reporting requirements are considered by Congress. 5. Discrimination against Small Farmers: Critics fear that processors will continue to shift more of their purchases to larger and more efficient farmers, by denying to contracts and fair access to the markets for smaller family operations. 6. 5hifrs in Research duration Taxes Rural EmRlovment, and Infrastructure The loss of small farms through contract discrimination could accelerate the rate at which agricultural education and research efforts shift from aiding smaller family farms to focusing on larger operations. Shifts away from smaller family farms to larger contract operations could also affect rural trends in property taxes, jobs, and planning for roads, water and sewers. 7. Harm to Main Street: Businesses in rural communities may also suffer, as farmers secure more of their inputs (feed, seed, genetic materials, equipment, and capital assets) directly from food processors. 8. Environmental Concerns: One impact of producer contracts may be the rise of the more intense applications of farm chemicals and more reliance on large confined -animal feeding facilities. 9. Antitrust Concerns: As food processors become more concentrated, their market power grows. The use of producer contracts to accelerate the demise of smaller family farms will raise the power of processors even further. While producer contracts may not create monopolies, they may be a tool to facilitate the exercise of market dominance by a smaller number of large conspirators. "Once we get the facts and solid information about how these contracts really operate, then we will be able to make more informed decisions about shaping legislation, if any, to make sure the contracts are fair to the farmers and the processors or purchasers of farm commodities," Ness said.
