Old Business: Mary reported that the needed roof repair has been completed. Lisa Theis from the Hutchins on Telephone Col explained a proposed phone system to replace the outdated phones the library now has. Questions and discussion followed. The members present decided to wart until Mary checks on some particular additions and to make a decision at the December meeting. The bar- coding is proceeding with some volunteer help as well as with the library staff and Mary expects the majority of books will be completed by the first of January. It was suggested we all look at the sign that was erected in front of the library as it looks as though it is warping. We will look into this at the December meeting also. New Business: With Connie Lambert's PLS term expiring at the end of December there was discussion of a replacement. Mary has asked Kay Peterson to check into the possibility of some outside Christmas lighting for the entrance side of the library on Hassan Street The next meeting will be on Monday, December 21 at 4:30 p.m. Joyce Beytien, Secretary E ,// -�d) -2, CITY OF HUTCHINSON 0 0 BUILDING / PLANNING / ZONING DEPARTMENT 11 I HASSAN STREET S.E., HUTCHINSON, MN 55350 PHONF- 612234 -4216 FAR 612.234 -4240 Total Permits 41 Total VAluation $1,939,640 0 A-2— November 1998 NEW RESIDENTIAL PRIVATELYOWNED PUBLICLY OWNED HOUSEKEEPING Item Number of valuadwof Number of Valuation of BUILDINGS No. Bu"rga Beudn9a �9 st ou u NOU carus a) h c) (e) 10 ) SingWfanuly houses. detached EmY,de mates 101 S 5 640 000 Single -family Iouse t. attached S.p + by 9, m nwr afr, 102 A uARty m Tw farm bulldin a 103 Threw and tour -ram but 104 Ftv r-more family buildings 105 TOTAL' Stuart of 101 -105 109 RESIDENTIAL PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLICLY OWNED NO W NHOUSEKEEPING Item Nunbw of Va►aetbn of Number of Valuation BUILDINGS No. &1ildings Rooms caremotion Buudrga Roscoe construction Ono cent Omit cerla a (b ) (c d e fl Hotels, motels, end ounat cabns granslent aasrcrodetions only) 213 Other noniousekeeping shelter 214 NEW PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLICLY OWNED NONRESIDENTIAL hem Number Vaaatlon of Number W Valuation of BUILDINGS No. of mrubtcion Bulldirpe coretnolon Butidings Orr* cants OnsY a" a) (b) c ( (e) Pmueamera, socle , and recreational 313 Churches end other religious 319 Industrial 720 Parong garages (buildings a open deckedf 321 Sarvke stations and repair garages 322 hospitals and dstladlonal 323 Offices, banks, and profess orW 324 Public worts and utilities 325 1 2,500 Schools and other etluralicnal 329 Sloss and customer services 327 Othw nonresldenUW buildings 329 Strucz res other than builtlkg9 329 ADDITIONS, PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLICLY OWNED ALTERATIONS, hem Number Valuation of Number of Valuation of AND CONVERSIONS No. of mrreuc9on Buildings construction Buildings Orrw Cents Omk oerns (a) (b) (C) (d) (a) Residential - CUSel/y addTlaw of 434 gemgea and ato" in from 498 9 75,600 Nonresidential and nanho sekeepwV 437 1 8, 0 0 Additions of reeoandal garages and 439 carport (attached and detached) 1 7 50O DEMOLITIONS PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLICLY OWNED AND RAZING Hem Number NurEercf Number of Number of OF BUILDINGS No. of fou"V Wits Bulldtgs HouskV units : (b a) c (d) e) Skgle -lam9y houses (wuched and deradedl 545 Two -IamAy bulldlrgs fits Three- and fou- family bulkUgs fH7 Fiae-or-more family buMrge 545 Ail other buildings and structures 1 549 Total Permits 41 Total VAluation $1,939,640 0 A-2— 0 0 INDIVIDUAL PERMITS AUTHORMNO CONSTRUCTION VALUED AT $300,000 OR MORE Please provide the IoOovkq Mametlon for saM partrvt autortzkV mrubuction valued at 5500.000 or more entered in ary of Ne above eeaWru Item No � sections (a) Oeacrlption (b) awnsr"or address Nalder a (c) mark (� one (d) V WUfftbn QrNf cents (e) Number of units (n (9) a =.

This revision process has been underway for approximately the last month and included input from the City Administrator, Finance Director, Director of Engineering, the employees who currently hold the positions under review, and myself. A survey was conducted to obtain position descriptions and salary information for similar GIS positions throughout the state. Information was received from municipalities that include metro and outstate cities and counties. The recommendation resulting from this process is as follows: Revise the position description of the IS Coordinator to accurately reflect the duties and responsibilities of the position. The focus of the position has shifted from GIS to the computer network and personal computer management, operation, and maintenance. A significant responsibility that has been added addresses the need for attention to Year 2000 compliance and readiness issues. The position will continue to devote approximately 50% of its time to the engineering department and the remaining 50% to the general IS operations of the entire City. The IS Coordinator position currently reports to the City Administrator and the Director of Engineering. Supervision is proposed to be shifted jointly to the Finance Director and the Director of Engineering. The position is proposed to remain a Grade F, salaried and exempt position. 2. Revise the position description of the GIS Specialist to accurately reflect the increased level of responsibility and complexity of the position. This technical position is now responsible for the development and implementation of the GIS system for the City. In addition, the position is responsible for the integration of • information from other agencies such as Hutchinson Utilities, Hutchinson Area • Health Care, etc. into the City system. This position also serves as the back -up to the Information Services Coordinator and is required to possess knowledge of the City -wide network and personal computer operations and applications. Prior to this proposal, the GIS Specialist performed duties under the direct supervision of the IS Coordinator. This position is now proposed to report directly to the Director of Engineering. It is proposed that this position be reclassified to a Grade XI position. It is also recommended that the pay rate of the GIS Specialist be increased to $17.50/hour or level 2.8 on the pay plan. The employee is currently at level 4.6 in Grade IX or $15.81/hour. This equates to a 10.7% increase. The proposed position descriptions are attached for your review. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact me.

Rodeberg, Director of Engineering/Public Works RE: Consideration of Agreement with Ryan Companies to Complete Infrastructure Improvements DATE: December 3, 1998 We are continuing to work with Ryan Companies on the development of County Fair Marketplace. The timing of construction of Edmonton Avenue (south access) is a major concern. It would be preferred to install the trunk sanitary sewer as soon as possible to allow for completion of the roadway and related infrastructure improvements. The City does not have the ability to do the work this year following our standard MN Statute 429 process. Ryan Development has offered to do the work at an agreed upon not -to- exceed cost. We are working with Earth Tech (formerly Rust) on a plan for the work, and hope to have some idea of a price for Tuesday's meeting. We are proposing to allow Ryan Development to complete the work under our supervision with the understanding (in a written agreement form) that the City would credit the cost against their proposed assessments in 1999. We have discussed this issue at the Leadership Team meeting, and with City Attorney Sebora. It appears is if this is possible to do, and would address concerns of both the City and Ryan Development. We will discuss this issue in more depth at the Council meeting. cc: Gary Plotz— City Administrator Cal Rice — Assistant to City Engineer file: County Fair Marketplace • Printed on recycled paper - RESOLUTION NO. 11106 • RESOLUTION APPOINTING YEAR 2000 COORDINATOR Whereas the City of Hutchinson recognizes that the Year 2000 problem involves more than just a computer issue; and Whereas the City recognizes that all of its departments and services may be impacted by the Year 2000 problem; and Whereas the City has adopted a policy establishing the Year 2000 problem as a top priority for all city operations; and Whereas the City in this policy sets forth its commitment to identify, address and ` resolve potential problems created by Year 2000 issues and to make its best effort to ensure continuity of essential city services; and Whereas the City's efforts to minimis the potential impact of the Year 2000 problem will likely involve multiple city operations and outside organizations; and Whereas the City believes that coordination of all persons working on the Year 2000 problem on behalf of the City is essential to the efficiency and effectiveness of the City's overall Year 2000 effort; and • Whereas the City pledges to create contingency and community preparedness plans to reduce the possible effects of computer and operational system failures throughout the community; and Whereas the League of Minnesota Cities has requested that cities designate a contact person to receive information on the Year 2000 problem; Therefore, be it resolved that the City of Hutchinson hereby appoints Steve Madson, Emergency Management Director, to serve as the city-wide entities Year 2000 Coordinator (i.e., city, utilities, and Hutchinson Area Health Care), and further hereby appoints Kenneth B.

Consequendy, clfle�s should conduct an lntemal Y2k rnwreness effort Bearer/ toward all employees and train key staff on the specifics of how the problem can be addressed. Policy Statement To establish the city's goals and intentions related to theY2k problem, elected officials and senior management should Issue a formal policy statement. The statement should make it clear to city staff and the general public that theY2k effort is a top priority. for all city operations.The statement should also support development ofa plan to prevent and reduce the consequences ofY2k- related problems. Y2k Project Coordinator To ensure cityY2k efforts surrounding this policy are properly coordinated and timetables are adhered to, a city staff member should he designated as the city's Y2k project coordinator. (please provide LAfC with the name of the person chosen to be your city's Y2k project coordinator. This person wilt be the main point of contact for League information sharing on Y2k issues) A sample resolution appointing aY2k project coordinator follows at the end of this chapter. Cities are encouraged to modify this sample resolution by adding specific goals and objectives for the position, and/or overall cityY2k goals, as appropriate to city needs. City Y2k Team The city should also assign key staff as a Y2k team to discuss the problem and analyze related issues. This Y2k team should represent all city operations, especially those critical to community health and safety, such as police and fire. Because a consistent approach is essential for success, all departments should work under a comprehensive city plan. League of lvllnnesoto Cities A Y2k policy slolement should be included in the cils documentation of Y2k efforts. A Year 2000 Action Guide r� n U Experts predict that as more organizations hire technology specialists to deal with Y2k issues, salaries for this occupation could double or even triple. league of Minnesota Cities Organization of City Efforts The city's Y2k team should take the following steps: • Prepare a list of city functions, prioritizing by how critical they are to protecting public health and safety. • Assign responsibility in each department for dete and resolving all Year 2000 problems, with priority on the most critical functions. • Set and carefully monitor timetables for completion of the city's comprehensiveY2k plan. • Prepare regular progress reports on the city's Y2k efforts to be shared with all city staff and the broader community. Outside Consultants & Programmers The Year 2000 problem is one that requires a great deal of time, effort and money to resolve.The city may consider bringing in outside help to guide its Y2k efforts and /or implement fires. While Y2k consultants and programmers can be very helpful, they are expensive and difficult to find, hire and keep. Trained programmers 2ndY2k experts are a limited resource and, understandably, in high demand. Even keeping the city's current technology staff may prove increasingly difficult as the year 2000 approaches. Involvement of Elected Officials Elected officials have important responsibilities in the city'sY2k effort. While city staff are dealing with potential operational problems, elected officials can conduct outreach to the media, residents and businesses (see chapter 9, titled Media £o Community Relations). Elected officials are also key decision -makers on funding and staffing decisions that can largely determine the city's success in addressing Y2k Issues. For elected officials to effectively represent the city on this issue and make informed policy, budget and personnel decisions, they must be briefed on the basics of the Y2k issue and kept informed of the city's efforts. At the end of this chapter is a Checklist for Elected Officials which outlines potential roles and responsibilities for elected officials related to theY2k problem. ro A Year 2000 Action Guide Checklist for Elected Officials ❑ Become informed on the Y2k issue — city staff and local government organizations con be helpful resources. ❑ Make addressing the Y2k problem a top priority for your city. ❑ Adopt a citywide Y2k policy. ❑ Appoint o Y2k project coordinator to head the city's efforts. ❑ Discuss the Y2k problem with fellow elected officials at all levels of government, especially those whose operations are closely tied to your city. ❑ Budget a contingency to address Y2k problems. ❑ Have the city attorney research legal ramifications of the Y2k problem for your city. ❑ Provide a central Y2k information resource for the community — city newsletters, direct mailings and websites are good informaiionshoring tools. ❑ Make sure all city staff, the media, residents, and businesses understand the basics of the Y2k problem and are kept informed about the city's efforts. ❑ Encourage residents and businesses to take responsibility for their individual Y2k problems (talk with their banks, employers, heallh care providers, etc.). ❑ Ensure that the city's efforts result in a citywide Y2k emergency management plan. The plan should be completed and all city staff should understand their roles in its implementation before New Years Eve, 1999. • League of Minnesota Cities tp A Year 2000 Action Guide e Memorandum TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Brenda Ewing, Human Resources/Transit Coordinator RE: Draft of Severance Package DATE: December 4, 1998 City Administrator, Gary Plotz, has requested that I provide you with the attached information.

You as members of the City Council will no longer have to sign off on a permit to allow the above mentioned items. The policy will be to give the church a copy of the code and then let their . good common sense take over, I trust they do not want people in danger anymore than we do. If by chance we have problems, we will have to review a new policy next year. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. 0 0 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 111 HASSAN STREET HUTCHINSON, MN 55350 CANDLES AND OPEN FLAME DEVICES SECTION 25.115 & 25.116 (c) 11.
