The City has asked for petitions from the owners for an annexation by ordinance. Mr. Schufelt's septic system failed. He asked to be connected to city sewer. City policy is to annex before connecting to city sanitary sewer. The Jefferson Street lots in this area are too small for on- property sewage systems.

The property owners will have the right to petition for annexation. Mr. Schufelt did petition for annexation.

Ms. Baumetz read a letter from Robert Draper MN/DOT representative. The letter said off premise advertising requires an annual permit. A letter would be sent giving a 60 -day removal notice. Mr. Draper suggested The Knights of Columbus consider applying for a permit to erect a permanent sign if this option complies with local regulations. Planning Commission discussion determined this organization was performing a service to the community. City sign ordinance Sec 10.2 (k) states off - premise signs are not permitted except with special permission of the City Council. Mr. Haag moved to close the hearing, seconded by Mr. Arndt the hearing closed at 5:40 p.m. Mr. Haag made a motion to recommend approval of the motion, seconded by Mr. Arndt the motion carried unanimously. b) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUESTED BY ROGER STEARNS, STEARNSWOOD INC., TO CONSTRUCT A 78' X 102' COLD STORAGE SHED 6' FROM THE PROPERTY LINE INSTEAD OF THE PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED 20' SETBACK LOCATED IN THE I/C DISTRICT ON 3RD AVE NW. • Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:45p.m. with the reading of publication #5135 as published in The Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 8, 1998 The request is for the purpose of considering a conditional use permit to construct a 78' x 102' cold storage shed 6' from the property line instead of the previously proposed 20' setback located in the I/C District on 3rd Ave. NW.

The City of Hutchinson will be considering at this evening's meeting, through a public hearing process, a request from a Community Needs Task Force for a local option sales tax to finance three critically needed projects. Those projects include a second sheet of ice to facilitate the growing numbers of boys and girls participating in skating and hockey programs, a Senior Citizens Center to allow seniors to better address recreational, educational and nutritional concems and a Convention Center other projects may be discussed as well. Either this office or the City will provide a summary to you of the results of the public hearing this evening. On behalf of the City of Hutchinson I would respectfully request that you begin the initial worts to introduce a bill to authorize a local option sales tax with the following salient features: 1. The tax would be 1% on restaurant and on sale liquor transactions; 2. The tax on new and used automobiles would be limited to a $20 charge per vehicle; 3. The tax would be in the amount of 1 /2% on all transactions that are presently taxable under Minn Stat. Chapter 297A, the general Minnesota Sales Tax statute; 4. The tax would be designed to raise a maximum of $5 million in gross tax revenue and, with the exception of the 1% restaurant and alcoholic beverage tax above (which would remain in place to finance convention center activities since the restaurant and on sale liquor establishments benefit from this project), the '/20 sales tax would expire when the $5 million in gross tax revenue has been raised. is 5. A referendum of the voters of the City of Hutchinson would be required to impose the tax. 101 PARK PLACE HUTCHINSON.

This would be a redevelopment project for downtown. The Finance Team is requesting an appraisal of three parcels on Block 42. Those parcels include the following properties: • Rix Standard Station • Reid Floor Covering Store (now unoccupied) • Vacant Quade Lot (the old surplus building). The approximate cost of an appraisal through Robbinson Appraisal in Mankato will be • $3,500.00. The developer has agreed to pay half of the appraisal cost if we continue with the TIF process for their theatre. Please take action on the request for an appraisal of the above mentioned properties.

Rodeberg, Director of Engineering/Public Works RE: Consideration of Applying for Energy Conservation Grant from Hutchinson Utilities ($20,000 for MATS Facility Energy Management System) DATE: January 20, 1998 As part of the review of the HATS Facility HVAC (HeatingNentilation) system Clarence Kadrmas, General Manager of Hutchinson Utilities, recommended that the City consider installing an Energy Management System at the HATS Facility to track the efficiency and operations of the HVAC systems. The initial review was being done to address the excessively high energy costs for the facility ($50,000+ for 1997). Corrections were made to the system to increase • efficiency and reduce costs for 1998. However, without the Energy Management System tracking unit operations and efficiencies we are limited in how thorough a review can be completed. Hutchinson Utilities is required by state law to have an Energy Conservation Grant program in which grants are given to the community for improvements that would help reduce energy use. If Hutchinson Utilities cannot fmd appropriate areas in which energy savings will occur, the funds must be given to the state for distribution elsewhere. In the past these funds have gone to individual home repairs (insulation, storm doors, etc.) and energy tree plantings. This program has been successful, but it is getting harder to find appropriate uses in the community that generate an energy savings equal to the amount required. Based on discussions with Hutchinson Utilities, it is our recommendation to consider applying $20,000 of these funds in 1998 toward the purchase of the Energy Management System for the HATS Facility. This will benefit the taxpayers of Hutchinson in 2 ways: • The capital costs of the new system will not come out of the general fund. • Long -term operational costs of the system will be reduced. We will also be reviewing with Hutchinson Utilities the potential for utilizing these funds for municipal facility energy improvements in the future. • cc: Clarence Kadrtnas, Hutchinson Utilities �' Pnmed un ru:ydcd pepc,- 0 Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Gary Plotz, City Administrator RE: Employee Assistance Program (EAP) DATE: January 23, 1998 The City Directors have been exploring the potential for implementing an employee assistance program (EAP) for the employees of the City of Hutchinson. John Hassinger of Company Care, an occupational health program of Hutchinson Area Health Care and Hutchinson Medical Center P.A., has presented information to both the City Council and the City Directors about the EAP services they provide. It is the consensus of the Directors to implement such a program. The program may provide services such as: • Training of supervisors /managers • Outreach and communication about EAP services to your employees and their dependents • Up to 5 counseling sessions for employees and/or their dependents • Prevention related group education in areas of our choice, such as: Chemical Use /Abuse, Stress Reduction, Relaxation Training, Family Issues, Grief/Loss, and Parenting • Referrals to appropriate resources • Statistical information related to employee utilization of EAP services • A toll -free phone number for employees to contact the EAP service • A 24 -hour crisis hotline for emergent personal issues that surface outside of the regular EAP service hours • Experienced EAP counselors backed by a full spectrum of mental health professionals Therefore, it is requested that you authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with Company Care to provide the City of Hutchinson with an EAP program. It is also requested that the Council authorize the adoption or amendment of any City policies required in connection with the implementation of the program. The costs associated with the implementation of an EAP are intended to be incorporated into the City's self - insurance health plan. n LJ REVISED LIQi;OR LICENSE SECTIONS SECTION 5.01.

This affects only three of the communications specialists, and is equal to a 1.3% increase. 0 Memorandum • TO: Gary Plotz, City Administrator FROM: Brenda Ewing, Human Resources Coordinator RE: Reclassification Recommendations DATE: January 22, 1998 As you are aware, the following positions have been submitted to me for consideration for reclassification: 1. Building Secretary 2. Planning Commission Secretary 3. Assistant Recreation Director (PT) 4. Recreation Specialist 5. Community Services Coordinator (PT) 6. Communications Specialist (FT & PT) 7. Communications Supervisor 8. Police Lieutenant 9. Senior Wastewater Maintenance Technician • 10. Liquor Store Manager These are my recommendations in regards to reclassifying these positions. Building Secretary This position is currently classified as a Grade IV position. Based on the changes to the position that have been outlined by director Jim Marka it appears that most of the changes to the position are in the amount of work that the position is responsible for completing. My opinion will support an increase in the amount of points for knowledge required for the position and additional points for night meetings. This position is currently the lowest graded secretarial position, three grades below the next highest level of secretaries. In that regard, the position could be considered for a reclassification to Grade V and a change in title to Building/Planning Commission Secretary. 2. Planning Commission Secretary This position is currently classified as a Grade VII position. Based upon the changes and additions outlined for the position, it appears that this position may be considered for a reclassification to possibly Grade VIII and maybe Grade IX/I. Although additional responsibilities have been added to the position, it must carefully be determined what the true scope of the responsibilities are and how • often they occur. The position still maintains a heavy emphasis on clerical duties with additional receptionist duties. Because of this and the overall scope of the position, I would recommend that the position not be reclassified to the level of 9- . the former position of planning coordinator. The desirable qualifications in • regards to education and experience should be reviewed and decreased. Although this position may oversee some work performed by the building secretary, this is not a truly supervisory position. Based on the level of the increase in responsibilities (joint planning, planning commission, planning staff, etc.), I would recommend that the position of Planning Commission Secretary be retitled Planning Secretary and be reclassified to Grade VIII. This move will align this position with the other highest level secretarial positions of Administrative and Engineering Secretary. 3. Assistant Recreation Director (PT) 4. Recreation Program Specialist 5. Community Services Coordinator (PT) The Director of Parks/Recreation/Community Education has proposed that the above positions all be aligned within the same pay grade classification. Currently, all of the positions are responsible for the pro grammin g duties in the various areas of adult recreation, youth recreation, and senior activities. The Assistant Recreation Director position also has additional responsibilities overseeing all of the recreational areas and supervises the employees in the recreation areas, including the positions of Recreation Program Specialist and • Community Services Coordinator. To align the positions, the Assistant Recreation Director position is proposed to be reduced in scope in the areas of overall responsibility, supervision, and hours of work. It is proposed that this position be renamed Adult Recreation Programmer and be responsible only for the planning, organizing and directing of the adult recreation programs. The supervisory responsibilities would be transferred to the Facilities Operations Manager to which this position would directly report. It is also proposed to reduce the position from 70% to 50% of full time. The position is recommended to be reclassified from a Grade G/XI position to a Grade X position. The position of Recreation Program Specialist currently oversees the youth recreation programs and is proposed to maintain that responsibility. The responsibilities the position formerly held in the area of adult recreation will become the responsibility of the Adult Recreation Programmer. However, this position will take on the responsibilities in the areas of the sponsorship program, establishing department goals and objectives, and the coordination of weekend tournaments. The position is proposed to report to the Facilities Operations Manager. It is recommended that this position be retitled Youth Recreation Programmer and remain as classified in Grade X. • The Community Services Coordinator is currently classified as a Grade I/IX position. This position currently is responsible for the programming of the senior activities. These programming functions are similar in scope to those of the Recreation Specialist and the Assistant Recreation Director. The following • responsibilities are proposed to be added to the position description of the Community Services Coordinator: prepare and maintain records and reports; prepare senior center budget and monitor expenditures; coordinate activities for special populations; assist with recruiting, selecting and training seasonal employees; advise on purchases for community services programs; and publicizing of programs. These additional responsibilities are in line with those of the above progr positions. It is recommended that the Community Services Coordinator position be retitle as Community Services Programmer and reclassified to Grade X. It should be noted that no change in pay is proposed with these reclassifications. 6. Communications Specialist (FT & PT) Chief Madson provided a revised position description for communications specialist and requested that I review the changes to determine if a reclassification is wan Upon review of the description and after meeting with Chief Madson to discuss this matter, a number of issues have surfaced. Based upon the increased training and certification requirements, emergency medical assistance provided by the specialists, the matron functions with female • prisoners, and consideration of the complexity of the position, it can be recommended that the position be reclassified from Grade VII to Grade VIII. 8. Communications Supervisor It needs to be noted that such a reclassification will result in a reclassification of the Communications Supervisor from Grade VIII to Grade IX. Police Lieutenant According to Chief Madson, he is restructuring the police department staff so that there will be only one person in the position of Police Lieutenant. As a result, this position will assume the supervisory function for virtually all employees of the department. The position will be the direct supervisor for the sergeants, investigators, school liaison, intervention officer and communications supervisor. In addition, the position will oversee the general personnel functions for the entire department. Upon review of the points assigned to the position, additional points can be justified for this position in the area of supervision. Also, the points assigned to the factor of decision making are not in line with the position. It can be recommended that this position be reclassified from Grade E2 to Grade E because of these issues. • 9. Senior Wastewater Maintenance Technician The position of Senior Wastewater Maintenance Technician was submitted for review by Randy DeVries, Director of Water /Wastewater. Based on the additional duties and responsibilities noted with the request, it appears that a reclassification can be justified. The increase in responsibilities includes overseeing the work of maintenance employees, coordinating with other senior water staff on facility maintenance and maintenance recommendations, operation and maintenance of the City Center boiler and HVAC system, and coordination of composting activities. A reclassification from Grade IX to Grade X will also place this position in the same grade as the other senior level wastewater operator position that has similar responsibilities and functions. 10. Liquor Store Manager This position was programmed for a reclassification and, I believe, discussed by you and Hazel Sitz. The information on file warrants an increase in the complexity of the position and a reclassification from Grade F to Grade E2. If you have any questions, please contact me.
