Probably as a discussion item. Gary
>>> MARILYN J SWANSON 02103199 12:04PM >>>
This e-mail is a follow -up to my memo dated December 24, 1998 regarding the two airport farm land
rentals the City has with David Kirkpatrick and Steve Hahn.
Yesterday Randy DeVries mentioned that David Kirkpatrick had approached him about renewing his farm
land rental agreement with the City. Randy told him to contact me.
If the City intends to advertise for bids, it should be done soon since farmers are making plans for spring
planting. If the City does not intend to advertise, should this item be placed on the February 23 agenda for
Council approval?
Please advise me on this matter.

Re: AIRPORT FARMLAND RENTAL AGREEMENTS
0
The airport farmland rental agreements with Steven Hahn and David Kirkpatrick
both expired October 31, 1998.
Kirkpatrick's agreement states that "the renter has requested the option to extend the •
lease agreement for an additional two years if the land is available." This has been
his first contract with the City for farmland rental, and he has been an excellent
renter with his payments made on time.
Hahn has rented farmland since 1989 and has also been a good renter. He has
requested to continue renting the land.
Do you want to advertise for bids or renew the agreements with these two
gentlemen? Action on this matter should be taken soon inasmuch as farmers need to
know what land they will be planting in the spring in order to plan for costs,
ordering seed, etc.
I shall await a response from you.

Discussion of written exam questions for position of Emergency
Communications/Records Administrator
Wayne and Nan provided examples of questions that could be part of the written exam.
Steve commented on the reference to promotion which should not be used as the position has
been advertised outside the department. Discussion followed on the fact the questions should
show ability of a candidate to organize thoughts and written communication skills. Steve
• stated the questions must be thought provoking and not just yes or no answers. Discussion
followed on the use of the word attributes as opposed to the word philosophies in question
I (5). It is the consensus of the committee philosophies would mean a style of management.
The committee agreed some of the proposed questions would lend themselves toward the
oral interview and decided five "thought provoking" questions for the written exam would
be sufficient. It is the consensus of the committee to use questions I. (1,2 and 5). Nan will
write a question to show problem solving/consensus building skills. Wayne will write a
scenario question.
Discussion followed on the time line dates set for the interview process. The dates
previously proposed were to select candidates to interview by February 19th and interview
on the week of February 22nd. It was determined the present schedule may not be realistic

. may be sent or faxed but must be to the County office no later that the 25th.
The Steering Committee of Steve, Wayne, Nan and Gary, will review the exam
questions and select interview candidates by a point system on Friday, February •
26,1999, at 5:00 a.m. in the Main Conference Room at the Hutchinson City Center.
The Oral Board will consist of 5 members including: an academic resource, the

Coordinator at Minneapolis Community College. Nan will contact the communications
supervisor from Rice /Steele counties. Wayne and Steve will contact the individual from
each department to sit on the Oral Board. Nan stated the candidates chosen for interviewing

will be February 22 and 23.

more suitable facilitator possibly through Ridgewater College. Nan will find a
neutral facilitator for the meeting on February 8th at 1:30 p.m.
♦ February 10, 1999, the Line Staff will meet to review transition issues at 2:30 p.m.

When President Clinton came to Capitol Hill last Tuesday night to deliver his State of the Union address,
most of us expected a good speech. We knew we'd hear lots of ideas and proposals and promises — and
he didn't disappoint us. There was something in that speech for everyone.
Well, ahnost everyone
The speech lasted 77 minutes and contained 77 new spending proposals, but there was nothing in it for the
American taxpayers, the people who pay the bills.
I'm talking about meaningful tax relief. Not targeted tax cuts that try to dictate social conduct, rewarding
only a few, with too few dollars. I mean rrcal tax relief.
. In living rooms across this country, Americans watched the President's speech hoping to hear about tax
relief, the one thing that would improve their future more than any new or expanded government program
ever could — the one thing taxpayers tell me they need most.
Americans today are taxed at the highest level in history, with nearly 40 percent of a typical budget going
to pay taxes on the federal, state, and local level. If you're like most folks, struggling to pay the bills and
support both a family and Uncle Sam at the same time, that probably doesn't come as much of a surprise.
You're working nearly three hours of each eight -hour work day just to pay off your tax bill.
They tax it when you earn it...
Tax it again when you save it-
Tax it again when you spend it...
Tax it again when you invest it...
And tax it yet again when you die.
No wonder Americans feel overtaxed!
I don't need to remind you that you're working longer days and more overtime hours than ever before, just
to pay that tax bill. Through your hard work you've given the economy a tremendous boost. In fact,
you've generated a federal budget surplus that will reach $80 billion this year, and $4.5 trillion - that's
gjjjio — over the next 15 years.

):m generated that surplus — not Congress, not the President, but you. And Washington shouldn't stand
first in line to get your money.
But with a $4 and -a -half trillion surplus, how come the average taxpayer won't get even a penny of it back
under the President's plan?
Instead of tax relief; the President on "Tuesday proposed 77 new ways for Washington to spend your tax
dollars. If you have a job, drive a car, use a computer, go to school, get sick, shop, drive, bank, and
sightsee the President has a new program he wauts you to.support.
It adds up to about $300 billion in new federal spending a year, the largest spending increase proposed by
any president in our nation's history, all fmana- Aby you, the taxpayers.
More spending, more government, more control by Washington, isn't the answer. The answer lies in tax
carts that return power to thee-taxpayers and leave a little more of your own money in your pocket at the end
of the day. -
On Tuesday, the same day the President was outlining his 77 new spending priorities, I led the effort to
rein in the government's reach by introducing the Tax Cuts for All Americans Act, the = bill that will do
the most to help America's working families.
Our plan will cut the personal tax rate for each American by ten percent, across the board, reducing your
tax bill by hundreds, or thousands, of dollars.
You see, I believe individuals and families should make their own spending decisions. Wa shingto n
doesn't know when your child is sick and needs special medical help, or when your furnace has to be
replaced, or when that tuition bill is due. You have to make those decisions every day, and the government
shouldn't be making those decisions any harder for you than they already are.
The across the board tax cut is simple. You don't have to be a tax lawyer or an accountant to understand
it.
The across the board tax cut is fair, because we're not pitting one group of taxpayers against the other.
The across the board tax cut is pro economic growth. When tax rates go down, workers keep each
additional dollar they earn. That's a pretty str8ng incentive to work harder, be more productive, and create
more economic growth.
The across the board tax cut says Washington doesn't have all the answers. It ensures your family's
dollars are spent on family priorities – not Washington spending schemes.
And the across the board tax cut is immediate. -Under the my plan, every dollar you earned after January 1
of this year will be taxed under the new, lower rates.
Simple, fair, good for the economy, immediate. Imagine what a difference a tax cut plan that embraces
those four important principles could make when you file your taxes one year from now. On behalf of you,
the taxpayers, I look forward to making the ten percent across the board tax cut the centerpiece of a better,
friendlier tax code.
Thank you for listening. 0
