(a) ASSESSMENT HEARING: LETTING NO. 5; PROJECT NO. 99-08/BLOCK 50
ALLEY IMPROVEMENTS
The Mayor called the hearing to order at 6:00 p.m. and read the notice of hearing.
Rodeberg explained the project would cover Main Street and Block 50 alley
improvements. The City share would be $101,101.56 and assessable costs would be •
$62,932.96.
0 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — MARCH 23, 1999
No one was present to be heard regarding this project.
(b) ASSESSMENT HEARING: LETTING NO. 10; PROJECT NO. 99 -22; 99 -23; 99-
24; 99 -25; 99 -26; 99- 27/1999 STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The Mayor read the notice of hearing for Letting No. 10.
Rodeberg reported the wear course paving had been the main concern. He reviewed
the street improvement costs in each of the additions.
Warren Schwarz, 15 Orchard Avenue SE, stated he was President of the Association.
He inquired why street work was being done now. Schwarz commented that during
construction there are many contractors loading equipment on the street, and he
thought they should be doing loading on their project site. He also noted that
developer David Broll was paid $250.00 toward the street cost.
(c) LETTING NO. 9; IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 99 -13; 99-15; 99 -16; 99-17;
99 -20; 99 -28; 99 -29; 99 -30; 99 -31
The Mayor read the notice of hearing for Letting No. 9.
Rodeberg reported that the three projects, namely No. 99 -13, 99 -15 and 99 -16, would
have assessments on them. Since the City does not have the time nor funding to do
all the projects this year, Project No. 99 -16 (Shady Ridge Road) would be deferred
until 2000.
Proiect No 99 -13 — Hassan Street SE & Selchow Avenue SE
The City Engineer stated the estimated assessment was $40 - $50 per front foot. A
typical 75' wide lot would cost $3,000 - $3,750. He noted there might be an
additional cost to lot owners where driveway panels are replaced. Rodeberg
commented that since the sanitary sewer line is in good shape, it would not need to
be replaced at this time. The sanitary sewer repair can be done from the inside. He
also stated that the water mains were the appropriate size.
A homeowner on Hassan Street stated the residents wanted the project done. He
noted that in the 1980s there was talk about an overcoat, but the economy prevented
the work being done.
�if�� (•��1i \ld l l! lTa�t�. Tl! \9 •19 � n1 \l`f:l`. fTL
A gentleman asked when the project would begin and when it would end. The City
Engineer responded that the City would advertise for bids and hold an assessment
meeting in May. After the project was awarded to a contractor, the work would
begin in late May and be completed by September 1, 1999.
A representative of the Hutchinson Baptist Church Inc. inquired about the utility
power poles. He also asked how the church was hooked up to the sanitary sewer
located in that area.
• Rodeberg replied that the power poles would be relocated at no cost to the residents
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — MARCH 23, 1999
or church. He stated the City would have to look into the sanitary sewer matter
A gentleman asked about the elevation in the road. He commented that since the
road was higher than the church basement, he thought the road should be lowered and
the church compensated accordingly.
Motion by Haag, second by Peterson, to close the hearing at 6:29 p.m. Motion
unanimously carried.
Motion by Peterson, second by Haag, to approve Letting No. 5 and to adopt
Resolutions No. 11168 and No. 11169. Motion unanimously carried.

(a) DISCUSSION OF COUNTY -WIDE TRANSIT BY COUNTY ENGINEER RICK •
KJONAAS
Rick Kjonaas and Gary Sprynczynatyk of Sibley County reported that McLeod
County desired to develop and maintain a county-wide public transportation system
to serve the needs of all McLeod County residents. Since the McLeod County
Commissioners had suggested a parteming with other oounties within the first few
years of operation, Sibley County had shown an interest to partner with McLeod
County to expand their growing transit system. They stated a Joint Powers Board
would govern the merged transit system.
No action was taken so that the City Council could give the transit system merger
further consideration.

(a) CONSIDERATION OF CEMETERY FEE INCREASES
John Olson, Assistant Public Works Director, made reference to a 1997 state -wide
survey of municipal cemetery fees. The survey showed that the fees at Oakland
Cemetery were below the average fees of other municipal cemeteries. He also
reported there would be a cremation section on the east side of the cemetery near the
gate.
Olson recommended approval of the proposed cemetery fee increases, to be effective
April 15, 1999.
It was noted that the cemetery chapel would be available for rental to any group or
family that used the services of the cemetery. Since the Dobratz -Hantge Funeral
Home invested money into the chapel project, they would be exempt from the fees.

adopt the Cemetery Fee Schedule. Motion unanimously carried.

HEIGHTS (3 12D & 4 ADDITION)
The City Engineer reported there were some minor changes to the subdivision
agreements. Since the City could not complete the project this year, Developer
William H. Gilk is proposing to design, construct and pay for all improvements on
a private basis. The City will review the project for compliance with City standards
and specifications and will consider a "Letter of Acceptance" when the
improvements are completed to specifications. Rodeberg expressed some concern
about the quality of the work and issues related to private streets, but he thought they
were adequately addressed in the Subdivision Agreements.
It was noted that green street signs would be erected on City streets and blue street
signs on private roads.
Motion by Mlinar, second by Peterson, to approve the subdivision agreements with

3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) CONSIDERATION TO RE- APPROVE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT TO BE KNOWN
AS PRAIRIE SENIOR COTTAGES LOCATED ON BRADFORD ST. SUBMITTED BY MIKE
DEMMER.
Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:30 p.m. with the reading of publication #5270 as
published in The Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, March 4, 1999. The request is for the
purpose of consideration to re- approve the preliminary and final plat to be known as Prairie
Senior Cottages located on Bradford St. submitted by Mike Demmer.
Ms. Baumetz explained this plat was approved in June of 1997, but was not recorded within
• the required 270 days at the assessors office. Mr. Demmer is still planning to build a home
for Alzheimer's patients. He would like to start construction this spring.
Diane Hagen, 1280 Bradford Street SW, neighboring property owner expressed concern of
the distance the building would be from the property line. She was also concerned with
construction traffic. Mrs. Hagen was assured the building was going to be 80' from the
property line and the construction trucks would not need to cross her property.
Mr. Amdt moved to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Westlund the hearing closed at 5:35
p.m. Mr. Westlund made a motion to recommend approval of the request with staff
recommendations, seconded by Mr. Drahos the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Arndt moved to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Drahos the hearing closed at 5:45
p.m. Mr. Westlund made a motion to recommend approval of the request with staff
recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Drahos the motion carried unanimously.
C) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT TO BE KNOWN AS REITER .
ADDITION LOCATED BEWTEEN HWY 7 AND 3 R° AVE. SUBMITTED BY CURT AND
JANEL REITER..
Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:46 p.m. with the reading of publication #5272 as
published in The Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, March 4, 1999 for the consideration of
Preliminary and Final Plat to be known as "Reiter Addition" located between Hwy 7 and 3rd
Ave. submitted by Curt and Janel Reiter.
Ms. Baumetz explained Mr. and Mrs. Reiter have purchased lots 6, 7, and 8 (except the
westerly 20 feet) from Hardee's. Reiters would like to place their building on the west side
of Lot 8, 10' feet from the property line.
MnDOT is limiting access on State highways. Their schematic map shows only one access
open on Hwy 7 to access this property. This access is going to be a right in and right out
only. There are two accesses onto V Ave. Ms. Baumetz read a letter from Richard Knoff,
Minnesota Department of Transportation recommending access on 3'" Ave.
Mr. Curtis Reiter explained their development plans. There will be 14 parking spaces
available, which meets requirements, and a fenced in area for walking dogs. All setback
guidelines will be met. Reiters would like to build 10' from the property line and construct a
fire rated wall that would be required. The required green space will be met-
Mr. Rodeberg said MnDO7s proposed curb line is moved to the south 20 to 30', in this case
the building would have to be moved to the south, visibility would be diminished, and more
fill would be needed to raise floor level above flood fringe. The schematic drawing is showing
that more than likely there is going to be access controls on this intersection. MNDOT will
buy out right -of -way access. There will be an additional 12 to 20' right of way.
Mr. Reiter would like to be as close as possible to the west property line which would be 10'.
to be visible from the road. Mr. Reiter would willing to work with anyone who would want to
use their access.
Mr. Reiter said a buyer is interested in all the lots east to Main St.
The commissioners felt the request should be tabled until Mr. Reiter and the City have more
correspondence with the interested buyer.
Mr. Arndt moved to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Drahos the hearing closed at 6:30
p.m. Mr. Arndt made a motion to continue the request until next month. Seconded by Mr.
Westlund the motion carried unanimously.

The Friends of the Library have donated a new computer workstation to
the Children's Section of the library. It will be used to provide additional
opportunity for children to access the Internet, thereby extending the
informational resources available in the Children's Section. Information
was presented and discussed with the board on the location, time, and manner
of use of this station. The staff are currently researching and evaluating
how best to manage access so there is a balance between protecting children
against the "dark side' of the Internet and not restricting their access
to information protected by the First Amendment. Legal aspects and potential
solutions were discussed as well as current practices of libraries in St. Cloud,
New Ulm, Hennepin County, and the Pioneerland Library System.

Darlene Kotelnicki gave a presentation on behalf of the HAHC/HMC Patient Education
Team. The goal of this team is to standardize patient education materials for HMC and
HAHC while reducing the cost. The sponsors are Jim Lyons, Jane Lien and Pat
Halverson. The team members are from the Medical Center, Hospital, Nursing Home,
and Mary Henke (the librarian as needed). The first process used was an assessment of
current educational materials and research material available such as pamphlets,
handouts, audiovisual, and software. Then they developed criteria in an attempt to
standardize through one company. The system will be "on line" with HMC and HAHC.
The key users will be Physicians, and staff members from the Clinic, Hospital, and
Nursing Home.
The next steps will be to assess the cost of purchasing adult, ped's, and women's
modules; consideration of the senior health module and to determine the capability of
future expansion..

B. Parkine. Leo Monster, Horty Elving & Associates attended the meeting to assist
with resolution of the parking problem. Staff members recently worked with
Monster and Ferroll Robinson, from SRF Consulting to determine the numbers of
parking spaces that will be required for the next ten years. Monster commented
on the work that was done by staff members to determine the current as well as
projected traffic patterns. SRF completed a study a couple of years ago. It was
determined the numbers didn't appear to sufficiently address the current problem.
Each consultant, independently, revised the numbers using a different
methodology and arrived at the same parking numbers that will be required by the
year 2008 (see attached).
Some of the findings are as follows: The east parking lot has adequate space for
clinic outpatients through the year 2008. The main problem appears to be space
for hospital and clinic staff parking for the daytime shift (Monday— Friday). It
was determined that location for that parking is somewhat flexible. For the
second and third shift, there is really no parking issue. _
Monster led discussion on the many options that could be exercised to address the
parking requirements. They are as follows:
• Maintain long term occupancy arrangements for a minimum of 100
cars at Plaza 15.
•

Board of Directors Meeting — March 16, 1999

• Bring all the lots up to new condition on the hospital campus (the
sidewalks and pavement are in poor condition) and add 100 spaces on
the current site at a cost of $600,000 - $700,000. The demand would
be satisfied until 2005.
• Construct a ramp on the southwest visitor's lot to add 100 more spaces
(total 200). The anticipated cost would be $1,600,000. The demand
would be satisfied until 2008 with this option.
• Again open dialogue with Ridgewater College to propose a joint
parking lot.
• Consider off site parking for employees and arrange transportation
services to the hospital.
Daggett suggested, because of the many options to consider, that a Task Force be
appointed to research this project and bring back a recommendation.
Following discussion, Slanga appointed Don Erickson and Bob Peterson to
work with staff and report back at the meeting in April with findings and a
recommendation.

C. School Bond Referendum Donation. A committee of volunteers is in the process
of soliciting donations to support the special school bond election. A strong ,
school system is an extremely import recruitment advantage in attracting
physicians to our community. This is a serious situation and a direct issue on how
we can bring employees into our organization.
• Following discussion, motion was made by Daggett to donate $2,500 for a
School Bond Referendum. seconded by Snapp. There were three (Snapp,
Matthias, and Daggett) in support of the motion, and two (Erickson and
Peterson) against. Motion carried.
C. BMNH Casework Bids Graves reported we had completed the bidding process,
and had received only one bid, in the amount of $55,843.00, furnished by Goebel
Fixture Company. The project was for replacement casework at Burns Manor for
a day room, medication room and kitchen counters. Graves commented that only
one bid was received and it appeared to be more than what it was estimated to
cost. It was felt if more time was allowed to complete the project that additional
bidders could be attracted.
Following discussion, motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Matthias,
to reject the Goebel's Fixture Company bid in the amount of X55,843.00, and
authorize staff to rebid the project. All were in favor. Motion carried.

regarding the sentinel event that happened in January. The report is as follows:
•
The JCAHO provides us with a framework to study the process. Various factors
are considered in the analysis. Our Quality Consultant led the effort for a root
cause analysis. We used several quality tools: brainstorming, cause and effect
diagrams, and then developed an action plan. Our action plan includes review
and when necessary a revision of policies and procedures including components
of the medication processes.
• We placed special packaging over the identified medication to emphasis
concerns with dispensing.
• We are investigating what other meds in the organization should be labeled
and handled in a different fashion.
• We are studying what medications might be low volume and consequently
high risk for administration error?
♦ We did an immediate reduction of the inventory of this specific medication in
the emergency room.
♦ We also reviewed our Pxyis Formulary System to make sure inventory levels
are adjusted accordingly.
♦ We have ordered remote managers (technology) which tie the systems ( Pxyis)
together.

policies and procedures. We will educate our staff as soon as there are
changes to our policies and procedures

over shift changes and will determine staffing protocols for those times.
G. Winsted Family Practice Clinic. Graves reported on conversations that he had
with several board members in the recent past regarding Hutchinson Area Health
Cares ownership of the Winsted Clinic. Additionally, he reported on discussions
he had with other senior management staff, Dr. Mulder, and the Administrator of
Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia. The financial statements for the Winsted
Family Practice Clinic in 1998 demonstrate we experienced a gain of
approximately $5,500 after we take into consideration the revenue that is
generated from within the hospital from clinic referrals. The clinic, on its own,
lost approximately $173,000 in 1998. It appears that the majority of business from
the community continues to be serviced in Waconia. There has been an expressed
desire by Waconia to purchase the clinic from Hutchinson Area Health Care.
Hutchinson is currently serving the community of Winsted as well as Glencoe in
another clinic located close by. The Ridgeview Medical Center would serve the
health care needs for the community very well, if a sale were to take place.
Following discussion, motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Snapp, to
authorize Graves to establish a price and negotiate a sale of the Winsted
Family Practice Clinic to Ridgeview Medical Center. All were in favor.
Motion carried.

The number of fall incidents at Burns Manor Nursing Home increased from 40.5 in 1997,
to 41.0 in 1998. Falls have shown an increase at Burns Manor due to the restraint

reduced a more aggressive approach has taken place in addressing falls. Graves also

The Hutchinson Garden Club would like to obtain a "USE PERMIT"
for a portion of the parking lot located at the corner of
lst Ave SE and Hassan Street for Saturday, May 15th, 1999,
during the hours of 8 AM. to Noon.
The purpose of this Permit is to have a plant sale to raise
funds for our club projects. One of our projects that the
Club has been doing for many years is the flower bed located
at the intersection of Roberts Road and Dale Street. Many
people have told us they really enjoy this bed of flowers.
We also will have a flower bed on the County Fair grounds this
year. We also donate $200 each year to the Hutchinson Public
Library for the purchase of books relating to gardening.
The parking lot located across the street from Library Square
is centrally located and easy to find for our customers of
several years.
The County Horticultural Society will also be participating
in this plant sale for their own special projects.
If you have any questions please contact me at this address
12154 Tagus Ave, Hutchinson, or telephone #587 -9101.
Thank you for your favorable consideration.

Dear Gary,
The 57" Annual Hutchinson Jaycee Water Carnival, which will be held June 14" — 20", 1999 , is fast

request that permits be issued for the 1999 Water Carnival as follows:

alternative site has been set for the Jaycee Park parking lot, as has been done previously in wet
seasons.
2.) Close the south end of Lynn Road, by Pizza Hut, for the 8K and RollerBlade races on June 10, from
7:00 a-m. to noon, for the safety of the participants at the beginning and end of the races.

10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The same route will be used as last year, starting at the St. Anastasia parking

4.) Close the streets and issue a Parade permit for the Grande Day Parade on Sunday, June 20'", from
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year's proposed parade route starts with the staging area headquarters of
St. A's parking lot, then Roberts Road from Dale St to Alan St, including the side streets of Graham,
Hidden Circle, Larson, and Kay. The Parade starts at the intersection of Roberts Road and Dale Street
heading north on Dale Street until turning East on Second Ave and continuing until turning South onto
Franklin Street and ending on Linden Ave.
5.) Issue a permit to operate a concession stand during the Boat Parade and Outdoor Dance on Thursday,
June 17'" at West River Park and Les Kouba Park, at the Sand Volleyball Tournament on Saturday,

the real backbone of support for this community celebration.

History:
The HCDC Board of Directors, through recommendations from its teams, endorsed the
development of modular rental units to house those businesses that prefer rental over
ownership. A concept sketch was developed by Jim Haugen that located the modular approach
between Second Avenue and Fifth Avenue along the east side of the river in the Industrial
Park. Information was also presented to the City Council with the following assumptions:
1. Developer(s) would be invited to develop the concept as per the HCDC
specifications
2. Lot # 4 was already owned by M.A.C., a willing participant in developing the
concept in part or it its entirety.
3. Using the property for such a purpose would eliminate the need to hard surface
Arch Street from Second Avenue to Fifth Avenue.
4. HCDC would assist, within their resources, to advance the development of the
concept.
5. The rental units would serve as incubators for small growing companies eventually
wanting to own their facility.
What benefit would HCDC and/or the City of Hutchinson. derive from the
purchase of Lot #67
1. Ensure that the property will be used to develop the modular units for small
business.
2. Control the need to hard surface Arch Street.
3. Protect the integrity of the quality and design of the area.
4. Provide HCDC the option to
a. Resell to the current developer
b. Resell to another developer
c. Invest in the construction of modular unit(s)

Dear Mr. Klawitter:
First, thank you for attending the meeting on Friday, January 29, 1999 that was set up to discuss the sale of the
DAV property in the Hutchinson Industrial Park. Don Erickson and I were very impressed with the delegation you
brought with you.
Enclosed is the information I promised you. Please remember that if you should decide to proceed with the
proposed sale of Lot # 6 which you presently own. I will have to set up die process that we talked about First the
proposal will be discussed with the City Administrator, City Financial Officer, and City Engineer. Next it will go
to the HCDC Finance Team and then to the HCDC Commission. If the Couunission approves the proposal- it will
be recommended to the Citv Council. In order to make the deadlines in Febrtu iry, it is important to get back to me
vet this week. You can reach me at nuy home number. (320) 587 -5146.
Dick McClure bought Lot #5 from the City for 520.338. When you break the 1.04 acres into square feet it comes
out to be $4489 per square foot. Taking the same per square foot cost titres the .83 acres of Lot #6 the amount
conies to 516,231.29 for the parcel, This is the calculation we agreed to at the meeting. If you have questions,
please call me.
If you agree to the $16,23129, HCDC will Stan the process. You will also be kept informed about the meetings in
case you want to be represented
It is a pleasure working with you as a representative of HCDC. Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Dick Letmes
HCDC Representative

RE: Roberts Park Irrigation
This project has been contemplated for several years as a measure to improve the
field conditions at this facility. The project, while important, has not been funded
through the General Fund or Capitol Improvements Budget.
• I am requesting that the project move forward at this time. I am recommending
that funds in the Public Sites Trust Fund be utilized to complete the project.
Quotes secured by staff indicate the total project cost to be $21,600.
Furthermore, we have secured four field sponsors that will'contribute $20,000 over
a five -year period. I would recommend that these sponsorship dollars be directed
back to the Public Sites Trust Fund on an annual basis. Additionally, individual
adult teams (80 minimum) will contribute $20.00 per team for the 1999 season to
assist with the project.
I realize this approach is somewhat unconventional, but I request council
authorization to move forward. I will be in attendance at the April 27 council
meeting to answer questions. Thank you for your consideration.

MEMO
Finance Department
September 4, 1998
Parks s, Recreation has requested using Public Sites funds to
finance construction of a sprinkler system at Roberts Park.
This money is set in a trust fund account meaning the funds are for
designated purposes only. In this case the trust fund has set the •
money collected from developers for acquisition of park property.
I believe the council could authorize the advance of funds for the
above requested purpose with the understanding this could be a
loan, which would be repaid from the four field'sponsorships. The
repayment would recover the principal advance but some interest
earning could be lost during this time on the $20,000.
If this were acceptable to the council we would request:
Council authorization to advance the funds for sprinkler
installation repaid over a 5 -year period.

RE: Consideration of Cemetery Property Repurchase Policy
DATE: 03126/99
ee: Ken Merrill, Firm= Dir.; 17oyd t?roehler, Cenxlay Supemisnr.
CFMFTERY PROPERTY REPURCHASE POLICY
Minnesota Statutes 306A.10 states that cemetery property owners may sell properties they own
back to the cemetery. Furthermore, the statute states that the cemetery may use any of its funds to
repurchase properties. With this in mind, Floyd Groehk:r contacted me about establishing
procedures for property repurchase.
I am suggesting the following procedures:
Oakland Cemetery may offer to willing sellers the greater of one half of the current price for
properties or for the original purchase price of the properties.
The Cemetery Supervisor may identify certain cemelery properties that represent a significant
value to the cemetery _ If necessary, more may be offered to obtain these specifically identified
properties. Certain properties may be desirable. For instance unused space from two a*ccnt
lots would be beneficial to own and resell. Tbere may also be instances when people who want to
be interred near there relatives may be able to buy repurchased lets when there are no other
unsold lots in the area.
Payments for the repurchase of cemetery properties are to be made from the Perpetual Care Fund.
Fees for documents relating to the sale shall be bome by the seller. The Public Works Director
has the authority to waive up to S 100 of these fees.
Attached is a resolution to amend the ordinance.

Dear Mayor Torgerson and City Council Members:
The Board of Directors of Hutchinson Area Health Care (HAHC), as part of their regular meeting on April 20,
considered capital expenditure requests from staff that require City Council approval.
The items requested are explained in the following excerpt from minutes of the meeting.
X ` CT Scanner. The Board reviewed a request for purchase of a CT Scanner. Physicians and staff have
researched a replacement CT Scanner for the past couple of years and have recommended replacement with
a new Spiral CT Unit. Graves described the differences between the old (current) technology at HAHC and
the Spiral CT Scanner. Following completion of the bidding process, and after analyzing the data, the
apparent low bidder, Phillips Medical did not meet specifications (see attached). The second low bidder,
Picker International completely met the minimum specifications at a price of $681,560.
T
• Following discussion, motion was made by Snapp, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City
Council that the bid from Phillips Medical be rejected for not meeting the bid specifications and the
bid be awarded to Picker International at a cost of $681,560 for the Ultra Z Scanner. All were in favor.
Motion carried."
"Burns Manor Casework The Board reviewed a request for purchase of new casework at Bums Manor for
the medication rooms, for the West Day room, and counters in the kitchen at the nursing home.
Additionally, we had a small amount of work in the Laboratory. We completed the first bidding process in
February and had received only one bid, which was rejected by the board at the March meeting. We then
re -bid the project, and received three bids. The low bidder. Ron's Cabinets, did not meet specifications (see
attached). The Foundation has agreed to pay approximately 50% toward the financing of this project.
• Following discussion, motion was Erickson, seconded by Daggett to recommend to the City Council
that the bid from Ron's Cabinets be rejected for not meeting specifications and that the project be
awarded to the second lowest bidder, Tec Team, St. Paul, in the amount of $34,630. All were in favor.
Motion carried."
Thank you, in advance, for consideration of these requests. Don Erickson will be able to address any questions you
may have regarding these items at your meeting on Tuesday.

CT Scan Bid Recommendation
After receiving bids at the bid opening, Tuesday, March 9` h , 1999, the data was analyzed
by Steven Due, Manager of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services, Jacki Rossi, Supervisor
of Radiology Services and Dr. Thomas ]bath, Radiologist, and placed in a spreadsheet to
be analyzed and reviewed. After analyzing the data, only one unit completely met the
minimum specifications. This unit was the Picker U1traZ Computerized Tomography
System bid at $681,560.
It is our recommendation to reject bids received from GE, Toshiba and Philips for the
following reasons:
Philips AVP -S
• Only 3.5 MHU Tube
• Only 300 couch capacity
• • No weekend installation
• Low bid, but does not meet specifications ($640,642)
GE Gold Seal CT /I
• Only 3.5 MHU Tube
• Refurbished Unit
• Not low bid ($704,856)
GE HiSpeed CT
• Only 30kW Generator
• Only 3.5 MHU Tube
• Only 2 GB disk storage
• Not low bid (5713,268)
Toshiba Xpress/GX
• Only 36 kW Generator
• Only 4 MHU Tube
• Not low bid (5713,185)
Philips AV- Expander
• Only 330 couch capacity
• No weekend installation
6 • Not low bid (5703,642)
*See attached spreadsheet for actual bid comparisons.
Y -J
It is our recommendation that HAHC purchase the Picker Ultraz Computerized
Tomography System.
Several considerations are:
• Meets all minimum specifications
• Software available to allow for decreased usage of contrast
• Windows based Console for Technician use
• Quicker installation due to same floor plan as current Picker Scanner
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 234 -4961.

The bids for cabinetry at 8MNH and HCH have been analyzed and the recommendation to the Board of Directors
is to accept the Bid from Teo Team. The rationale for this decisions as follows:
The bid from Ron's Cabinets does not include demolition and removal of the existing fixtures.
The bid from Ron's Cabinet's does not include stainless steel in any of the fixtures.
The bid from Goebel Fixture Company which does include stainless counter tops in the Kitchen is rejected
based on the total project cost.
The bid from Teo Team includes removal and install and the fixtures for the kitchen are constructed of Stainless
Steel.

House OKs $70 million to aid farmers
Tile House approved $70 million in
tax relief for farmers Monday, sending
the bill to the Senate.
If the Senate approves the legislation
and Gov. Jesse Ventura signs it, the
checks would be in the mail as early as
June. Most farmers would receive $2,000
to $3,000, with a limit of $5,600.
Rep. Ted Winter, DFL- Fulda, was con-
cerned that money would go to all farm-
ers, not just those in need, and wouldn't
help low commodity prices.
Rep. Robert Ness, R- Dassel, said
prices were a federal matter along with
control of availability of foreign markets.
But Rep. Elaine Harder, R- Jackson,
said the farm relief money is "an un-
precedented, huge, public step to sup-
port agriculture."
All three legislators voted for the bill.
Any producer with at least 40 acres
registered with the federal Farm Service
Agency would be eligible. Farmers would
receive $4 per acre or could choose to
have the state pay their property taxes for
the first half of the year on up to 160
acres.
The bill passed 126 to 4. Voting
against it were Reps. Andy Dawkins and
Alice Hausman, both DFL -St. Paul, Rep.
Phyllis Kahn, DFL - Minneapolis, and Rep.
Roundup
Phil Krinkie, R- Shoreview.
The bill began advancing late last
week after legislative negotiators agreed
to separate the relief from negotiations
on a proposed tax rebate.

Senate backs arena money
The Senate on Monday approved leg-
islation that provides more than $7 mil-
lion for the construction of ice arenas
and rehabilitation of existing ones.
The money is part of a $702 million
spending bill to fund various state agen-
cies. The arena appropriation provides
that up to $1 million can be used to bring
bleachers into compliance with building
codes. The money was prompted by
accidents last year in which children fell
from bleachers.
The bill, passed on a 61-4 vote, would
provide $26 million to the state arts
board, which would be able to parcel out
$17 million in grants for arts projects.

NEWS RELEASE
OMNIBUS AGRICULTURE BILL ADDRESSES BROAD NEEDS
FOR RURAL MINNESOTA
ST. PAUL — State Representative Bob Ness (R- Dassel) this week unveiled the details of the $138.8
million Omnibus Agriculture Bill. Ness, the chairman of the House Agriculture & Rural
Development Finance Committee, said this is a comprehensive bipartisan effort to address the broad
spectrum of issues from research to expanding and enhancing state, national and world markets for
Minnesota products. Under the bill, farmers and farm- related agribusinesses will pay nearly $43
million in fees to help fund the agriculture budget.
49 The Deepening Crises "The Legislature has to realize that the depth and breadth of the crises
facing Minnesota farmers is staggering," said Ness, who chairs the committee. "Every sector of our
farm economy is suffering -- hogs, dairy, beef, poultry, com, soybeans, wheat, barley, and farm
credit. We may lose hundreds of farm families this year, and that will cripple Main Street in rural
Minnesota and their communities.
The Need for Federal Action on Trade and Market Insurance "The real long -term answer to
the farm crises rests with federal efforts to improve commodity prices and by collaborative efforts
to enhance and expand exports, applying pressure to reduce foreign subsidies and trade barriers, and
including a 'market price fluctuation' component in federal crop insurance," Ness said. "That was
supposed to be done by Congress and the Administration after the 1996 federal Farm Bill passed."
A State with Two Economies Ness noted that while Minnesota cannot solve the farm sector's
crises, the Legislature has a duty to take strong action to make sure that Minnesota does not become
a state with a vibrant urban economy and a permanently- depressed Waal sector. "If we do not take
solid action now, the face of rural Minnesota in five years will reflect the face of the Dakotas in the
near future," he said. "Rural communities will not be able to survive, vast expanses of acreage will
be idled in conservation programs, and the young farm families will be gone."
Republican Tau Relief for Farmers is Part of the Answer Ness noted that House Republicans
won a major concession when tax conferees approved S70 million of property tax relief for farmers
earlier this year. That relief is pending settlement of larger tax rebate issues. "The biggest burden
Minnesota places on farmers are property taxes," Ness said. "If we can get $70 million of tax relief
to farmers this summer, and a significant amount of tax relief over the next two years, House .
inititatives will be the biggest cash infusion Minnesota has ever given to our rural areas."
The Bigeest Farm Bill in Minnesota History House Republicans have made a major commitment
to rural Minnesota with the Omnibus Agriculture Bill. "There will be those who complain that this
is too much to spend on the farm sector," Ness said. "But it is only one -half of one - percent of the
budget, and it assists people who generate 25 percent of our state's domestic product and one out of
four jobs."
Ness also noted that some critics will claim that the bill does not spend enough on farmers. "If you
hear that criticism, this is a commitment to agriculture that will provide the farm economy with a
long - needed lift to help farmers keep more of the value of their productions, manage their risks, and
market products more effectively," Ness said.
E thanol: The bill calls for an increase in producer payments for ethanol plants, which purchase one -
fifth of the bushels of the state's largest crop, corn. Funding of $74 million keeps the commitment
to nearly 8,000 corn farmers for ethanol, and will ensure the long -term viability of plants in Albert
Lea, Bingham Lake, Buffalo Lake, Luveme, and Preston. The bill will also secure funding for the
state's last ethanol plant -- the Minnesota Brewing facility in St. Paul.
Elk and Deer Preserves The bill will also allow farmers who raise elk and deer to secure licenses
to operate hunting preserves. "Our farmers should have the same opportunity as farmers in other
states to earn the profits of deer preserves;' Ness said. "This as worked well in Minnesota with
pheasant and other game farms."
Inspections The bill also provides $1.035 million for inspection of dairy operations and grocery
stores, as well as $560,000 to restore grain and potato inspection accounts that have been depleted
by cuts in federal inspections, decreases in fees collected from farmers as the Asian economic crash
decreased exports and acres were removed from production because of plant diseases and parasites.
The bill also includes $100,000 for pre -design studies on a laboratory to test for food purity and
chemical contamination. That laboratory will replace the federal USDA laboratory which moved
from St. Paul to Arkansas last year.
Rpse arcb: The bill provides $1.07 million of manure and odor control research, $300,000 for
research on paratuberculosis ( "John's disease') in cattle, and a $50,000 study of how to improve
the business climate for Minnesota dairy farmers.
The bill includes $1.5 million for research on soybean diseases and parasites. Another provision
includes $500,000 for research at the state five agricultural experiment stations, and 5500,000 of
research on farm drainage systems at Waseca and Lamberton.
The bill includes $160,000 for research on sustainable agriculture and 550,000 of research on organic
farming and grazing practices. The bill includes initiatives to add funding to market organic
commodities and to add organic farmers to state advisory panels.
The bill includes $250,000 to hire a wheat geneticist to breed strains of wheat and barley that are
resistant to the scab disease that has idled one million acres in western Minnesota, and an anticipated
wheat research provision in the Higher Education budget, and $300,000 of research and inspection
funding for potato growers.
As respiratory diseases are sweeping the state's enormous turkey and chicken flocks, the bill offers
$416,000 for research and eradication of those diseases, and to ensure a safe food supply.
Marketing "Traditionally, Minnesota farmers have focused solely on improving the production
aspect of agriculture," Ness said. "That is why so much effort has gone into research, genetics, and
technology that expanded our production of livestock and commodities.
"Traditionally, agriculture has focused on increasing production — we have proven we can out -
produce our markets and thus the surpluses that have depressed farm prices.
"But now we need to focus more on the marketing aspect," Ness continued. "We need to enhance
our share in state, national, and international markets for our farmers. That will also insure
profitability for our farmers' investments and labors."
Ness authored a $1.362 million provision that will direct new and aggressive initiatives by the
Agriculture Department to work with farm families and all of agriculture to sharpen the marketing
vision of the Waal sector.
The bill also includes Governor Ventura's request of $8.26 million for the Agricultural Utilization
Research Institute, which works to find new markets and products using Minnesota crops and
livestock, as well as marketable new crops or livestock for Minnesota farm families to raise. The
bill also includes the Governor's request of $164,000 for the Minnesota Horticultural Society.
The bill funds 5142,000 for the Minnesota Grown promotion program, which attempts to add
marketing savvy to farmers with large surplus crops and niche marketers of such products as
Christmas trees and specialty crops and produce.
Crisis Management During these times of rural crises, the bill provides support for a variety of
support for farm families. One provision includes $400,000 for Adult Farm Management instructors
in collaboration with the MnSCU system to provide assistance to farmers preparing cash flow sheets,
loan applications, and other financial documents to work through the farm credit needs of farmers..
The bill includes $300,000 for Agriculture Information Centers, $508,000 for the Farm Advocates
program which provides assistance for fanners with lenders, and $120,000 for the Farm Health and
Safety program through the University of Minnesota Extension Service. The bill also includes
$98,000 for the family farm security interest program.
Risk Management Many farmers have sought to minimize their risks by signing contracts with
food processors or other customers before a growing season. These "producer contracts" have
become controversial, as some fear that corporations will use their buying power to dictate prices
to farmers. Others support the contract system as a way to share the risk in producing crops or
livestock between the farmers and the food processors.
Rural Development "The state's ethanol plants have proved that state help with initiatives that help
farmers process their crops and livestock can bring stability and solid jobs to small towns," Ness
said. "This bill will try to continue some of those results with initiatives on pork processing,
converting alfalfa to high -value feed, and converting turkey manure to energy."
The bill includes a $300,000 operating loan for a proposed meat - packing plant at Dawson to be
operated by the Prairie Farmers' coop of hog producers. The bill also includes a $300,000 operating
loan for a plant in Wendell to turn alfalfa into high- quality feed pellets for poultry and hogs.
The bill includes a $200,000 study of the feasibility of burning turkey manure to reduce phosphorus
pollution in our lakes and rivers, generate electricity, and create a higher grade of fertilizer. Three
similar plants in England convert half of that country's turkey manure into electric energy and high -
grade fertilizer.
agriculture Education The bill includes 5300,000 of planning funds for an urban agriculture high
school in St. Paul, which would use the resources of the State Fair Grounds, the University's Farm
Campus, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and representatives from the state's major commodity
groups, farm organizations, and food processors. Once the school is up and running, it will not cost
additional dollars because funding would be provided as it would be for students at any other high
school.
The bill also includes $200,000 to help school districts with agriculture- related vocational education
and increase Internet access to farm - related education efforts to all our schools and agri- related
operations. 9
Emergency Funds When an outbreak of disease swept the state's hog herd this winter, it took three
months to finalize legislation to purchase vaccine and conduct blood tests on the animals. To avoid
a repeat of that experience, the bill includes a 5250,000 rapid response fund for the Agriculture
Department to use in the face of sudden onsets of crop or livestock diseases. The bill also includes
S250,000 to continue efforts to eradicate pseudorabies in hogs.
Cuttiug Red Tape The bill includes a provision to reduce regulations on farmers shipping milk
after their operations have passed tests for Grade A or adulterated milk. Another provision eliminates
decades -old regulations on `weather modifiers" such as cloud seeders. No one had ever applied for
many of these categories of licenses.
Municipal airports will be able to seek reimbursement from the farm chemical fund in the event of
a spill by a crop - duster. There have been no claims for such spills in the past three years, and a
provision will make it easier for fliers to gain access to municipal airports. This should reduce
spraying costs for farmers.

�xA.uv Cam. Number 16
rds .A. A weeMy legislative update from the League of Minnesota Cities April 23, 1999
Governor's second veto impacts local government
Governor vetoes competitive
bid threshold bill
Gov. Ventura vetoed a bill that
would have raised the competi-
tive bid threshold for local units
of govemment to $60,000. In his
veto message, the governor
stressed that the threshold
increase would amount to a
significant increase for smaller
cities and counties. According to
the governor's veto message,
"I veto this bill today because I
believe that doubling the thresh-
old amount to $50,000 goes too
far and increases the risk of
unethical conduct" The full text
of the governor's veto message,
is available on the "Legislative
Issues" page of the LMC Web
site (www.lmnc.org).
The veto was a shock based
on the strong, bipartisan House
and Senate support. The bill was
unanimously approved twice by
the Senate and passed by the
House on a 110 -17 vote. The
League is uncertain whether the
House author Bill Kuisle (R-
Rochester) and the Senate
author, Steve Kelley (DFL-
Hopldns) will attempt a veto
oveRide.
Tax Committee changes
reverse referenda provision
The House Tax Committee
completed work on their omnibus
tax bill on Thursday in a four -hour
hearing that included more than
30 amendments. The bill will be
introduced on Monday as a
committee bill, and will be re-
ferred to the Ways and Means
Committee before the bill is
debated on the House floor,
possibly as early as next
Wednesday.
In an author's amendment,
the reverse referenda require-
ment that could impact cities over
2,500 population and counties
was modified. Under the original
language, a number of registered
voters equal to 10 percent of
those registered to vote in the
last general election could peti-
tion for a referendum if the levy
increase exceeded the greater
of 2 percent or the consumer
price index.
Under the revised require-
ments, the reverse referenda
could be triggered if the city
proposes a levy increase in
excess of the greater of 2 per-
cent or the percentage increase
in the implicit price deflator for
government goods and services
(IPD) inflation adjustment plus
the percentage increase in
households. Over the past 15
years, the IPD has been slightly
less than the consumer price
index. However, the adjustment
for household growth may more
than offset the difference,
especially in rapidly growing
communities.
There are at least two rea-
sons the referendum trigger
threshold could be lower than a
city's actual levy limitation. First, it
a city did not levy to the limit for
1999, the unused levy authority is
carried forward for the 2000 levy.
Secondly, the levy limit calcula-
tion is based on the certified levy
plus LGA and HACA. Therefore,
the percentage increase in the
levy limit is greater than the same
percentage applied only to the
levy under the reverse referen-
dum requirements. '
The reverse referendum
provision was also amended
so that an unsuccessful referen-
dum vote would reduce the levy
only to the amount of the trigger
percentage, rather than to the
amount of the previous year's
levy, In other words, if the trig-
ger percentage for a city was
3 percent and the city proposed
a 4 percent levy increase, an
unsuccessful referendum vote
would only reduce the levy to a
3 percent increase.
The amendment also ex-
cludes general obligation debt
levies from the reverse referen-
dum requirement. This was done
to address concems raised by
the public finance community that

general obligation debt was not
truly a general obligation if the
voters could deny a levy neces-
sary to cover the debt service.
Pension aid reduction
provision deleted
A provision of the House state
government finance bill, which
would have redirected a portion
of state pension aids to the
Office of the Stale Auditor
(OSA), was deleted from the
bill last night. An amendment
offered by Rep. Dennis Ozment
(R- Rosemount) and 28 other
representatives to remove the
provision was adopted by a
11415 vote.
The money, approximately
$350,000 a year, was intended to
cover the costs the OSA incurs in
preparing a mandated Investment
disclosure report on local pen-
sion plans. Current law requires
the auditor to pay for the report
out of the general OSA budget.
The Ozment amendment repeals
the report.
On the floor Rep. Ozment
stated that the provision violated
the agreement made at the time
the report was established by
shifting the cost of the report
from the state to local pension
plans. Rep. Ozment and Rep.
Harry Mares (R -White Bea►
Lake), chair of the Legislative
Commission on Pensions and
Retirement, expressed concern
that the provision was added to
the bill late in the State Govern-
ment Finance Committee without
going through the Pension Com-
mission for policy discussion.
The Senate state government
finance bill does not repeal the
report, nor does it redirect state
pension aids to the OSA. The
two bills have significant differ-
ences to be worked out by a
conference committee.
Senate unveils property tax
provisions of tax bill
On Wednesday, the Senate
Property Tax and Local Govern-
ment Budget Division released
the property tax provisions of the
Senate omnibus tax bill. The bill
includes minor class rate com-
pression, an increase in the
education homestead credit,
significant farm property tax
relief, a $5 million increase in
LGA for many small cities, and
increases in the property tax
refund program. The bill includes
general authority for cities to
establish sidewalk utilities. The
bill also repeals Local Perfor-
mance Aid, with the 1999 LPA
distribution being folded into
cities' LGA and counties' HACA.
An amendment offered
by yen. Doug Johnson (DFL-
Tower) would cap market value
increases for homes, nonhome-
stead residential property, and
cabins to the greater of 5 percent
or the CPI for tax purposes. The
amendment was defeated on a
6-5 vote. Johnson stated he
would offer the limited market
value amendment again in full
tax committee next week.
The income, sales, and other
portions of the omnibus tax bill
will be revealed this afternoon.
We will summarize those provi-
sions early next week.
E
Watershed management
organization membership
limited
Some ideas never die —not even
due to the legislative committee
deadlines. A bill that would
exclude appointed city officals
from serving on watershed
management organizations,
which did not meet committee
deadline in the Senate, is alive
and well, buried in H.F. 2388 —
the House omnibus environment
and natural resources bill. The
provision states that after Dec.
31, 1999, staff of local units of
government who are members
of the watershed management
organization are not eligible to
be appointed to the board.
The Senate companion bill
does not include the provision.
Even if the bill is approved by the
full House, a conference commit-
tee will likely consider this and
other inconslsterd provisions.
The League will be working to
IdA this reincarnation.
