Increased fishing in the area has created safety concerns regarding pedestrians and cars near the bridge, in an area with somewhat limited visibility and greatly increasing traffic. When cars are parked on both sides of the road the area becomes very congested and • potentially unsafe. Based on this discussion and our review, it is our recommendation that no parking be allowed on the north side of South Grade Road between Lakewood Drive and Ulm Avenue SW. This would continue to allow parking on the south side, where the majority of fishing takes place. This also allows parking on the gravel shoulder, while the paved shoulder on the north side is safer for providing emergency movements. Since this is in the City limits, but is on a County Road, the City needs to approve the attached Resolution. The County will purchase and install the signs. We recommend approval of the Resolution. cc: Gary Plotz - City Administrator, Steve M"eou — Police Chief, Rick Kjonaas file: Traffic Control • City Center 111 Hassan Street SE Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2522 (320) 587 -5151 Fax (320) 2344240 Parks & Recreation Police Services 900 Harrington Street SW 10 Franklin Street SW Hutchinson, MN 55350 -3097 Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2464 (320) 587 -2975 _ (320) 587 -2242 Fax (320) 234 -4240 1 "` / Far (320) 587 -6427 Printed on recycled paper - RESOLUTION NO. 10805 0 RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING LOCATION FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES WHEREAS, the Director of Engineering/Public Works and the Police Chief agree that the following areas have traffic control concerns which warrant traffic control devices, and; WHEREAS, the Hutchinson City Council has the authority to establish locations as points where traffic control devices shall be erected, pursuant to Section 7.04, Subdivision 1 of the Hutchinson City Code; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON: That the Council hereby establishes that a traffic control device known as a "NO PARKING" sign shall be erected at the following location: On the north side of South Grade Road (County Road 82) between Lakewood Drive • SW and Ulm Avenue SW.

Rodeberg, Director of Engineering/Public Works RE: Consideration of Approving Request for Proposals (RFP's) for Main Street (TH 15) Signal Improvements • Please find attached a letter from Keith Voss, District Traffic Engineer for Mn/DOT, authorizing the City to design and supervise construction of left turn arrows on Main Street. If approved, I will send out the RFP to several consultants to complete the design and inspection work for us, and hopefully have contracts back to the Council no latter than the second meeting in February. This would allow construction of the system immediately in the spring. Please note that the City cost will be based as noted in the letter. Based on the estimated cost of $20,000 for construction and $10,000 for design and inspection, the City's share would be approximately $13,000. This proposal expedites the completion of the project, potentially completing the project months earlier than if the work was coordinated through Mn/DOT. It will, however, require that the City pay for the project up front and then get reimbursed. This was previously done on the TH 15 S/Lynn Road turn lane with very good results. I recommend approving the RFP and moving ahead with the project as proposed. cc: Gary Plotz - City Administrator file: Main Street Traffic Control • City Center 111 Hassan Street SE Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2522 (320) 587 -5151 Fax (320) 2344240 Parks & Recreation 900 Harrington Street SW Hutchinson, MN 55350 -3097 (320) 587 -2975 Fax(320)234-4240 - Printed on recycled paper - Police Services 10 Franklin Street S W Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2464 (320) 587 -2242 Fax (320) 587 -6427 C; ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF MAIN STREET (TH 15) SIGNAL MODIFICATION (Addition of Protective Permissive Left Turn Arrows) January 28, 1997 SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1997 • City Center 111 Hassan Street SE Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2522 (320) 587 -5151 Far (320) 2344240 Parks & Recreation 900 Harrington Street SW Hutchinson, MN 55350 -3097 (320) 587 -2975 Fax(320)234-4240 Police Services 10 Franklin Street SW Hutchinson, MN 55350 -2464 (320) 587 -2242 Far (310) 587 -6427 Printed on recycled paper - 0 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Engineering Services related to the construction of MAIN STREET (TH 15) SIGNAL MODIFICATION (Addition of Protective Permissive Left Turn Arrows) The City of Hutchinson is proposing to modify the traffic signals at three locations in downtown Hutchinson on Main Street (a.k.a.

I suggest protected permissive type of left turn phase which would have less impact on traffic congestion that protected left turn phase only. Protected permissive phasing will display a left turn arrow for a limited time, then allow left turns to occur on the green ball if there is a gap in traffic. The most expedient way to get this done is by a cooperative agreement where the City would design and supervise construction of the signal modification and Mn /DOT will pay the City it's share of construction and design costs. My rough estimate of construction costs is $20,000. Mn /DOT would pay based on number of legs in each intersection (50% for 2nd Ave S, and 1st Ave. N. and 75% for Washington Ave.) It would be preferable to start this project before June 30, 1997 in order to use money available in Fiscal Year 1997. Enclosed are signal plans from 1992 for your information If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

The following will explain those requests and subsequent recommendations of the board. The board received and discussed the results of a bid process for purchase of a second "Ultrasound Imaging System" for our diagnostic imaging service at the hospital. The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the meeting: • `Ultrasound Imasins System The board reviewed the results of a recent bidding process for purchase of an ultrasound imaging system. (See attached.) It was noted that the numbers of ultrasound exams have increased from the manufacturer recommended 8 -10 per eight -hour shift to 10- l5 exams per shift. Staff have been accommodating increased requests from physicians to 'work patients in the schedule' by giving up their work breaks and lunch breaks. To meet additional daily STAT requests, staff are currently rescheduling non - emergency exams to another day, causing increased customer concerns. "The equipment was budgeted for $130,000 in 1997. Three bids were received, with only two of those bids meeting specificationsAcuson's Aspen at a bid price of $184,500 and Advanced Technology Laboratories' HDI 3000 at a bid price of $149,445. Staff recommended the HDI 3000, which has an estimated payback of 0.58 years. "Following discussion, motion was made by Myers, seconded by Black, to recommend to the City Council the award of the bid to Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc., in the amount of $149,445. All were in favor. Motion carried." Also considered at the meeting was a capital expenditure request for purchase of a video endoscopic system. The following is an excerpt from that discussion: ' Video Endoscooic System Purchase The board of directors received and discussed the results of recent bids for purchase of a video endoscopic system for use in the hospital's surgery service area. The replacement system will be an upgrade from an outdated Flexible unit with eyepiece to video, providing better visualization and making it easier for the surgeon to use. • "Two bids were received, one from Olympus and one from Pentax. Following careful review of the bids, it was noted that the low bidder ( Pentax) did not meet the general conditions or the equipment specifications stated, and staff recommended rejection of the low bid. (See attached analysis.) A, The Honorable Mayor Marlin Torgerson and City Council Representatives January 28, 1997 Page Two • "Following discussion, motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Slanga, to recommend that the City Council reject the low bid for purchase of a video endoscopic system from Pentax for failure to meet specifications and award the bid from Olympus Surgical at a bid price of $68,668. All were in favor. Motion carried." We would also like to call to your attention the decision of the board of directors to consider a recommendation next month from staff for purchase of a replacement computer information system for HAHC. Staff have been researching our organization's needs and available systems for some time. They have now recommended HAHC negotiate exclusively with Medical Technology Systems ( "Meditech ") of Boston, Massachusetts, for a new computer system. This system is likely to cost approximately S 1 million in 1997 and an additional $1 million over the next two -to -three years as we begin to install various applications. This contract will be considered at the board's February meeting and a recommendation will be made to you at your second February meeting. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration of these requests. Don Erickson will be able to address any questions you may have regarding these items.

Ed Tusa Corrinne Schlueter DATE: December 17, 1996 - 9:05 AM - Conference Room F ADM HABIDSWIDARTHSYST.DOC HUTCHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE • CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUEST FORM (Single item in excess of $500.00 and depreciable life of one year or more) Cost Center Cost Center Number: 7280 Name: Ultrasound Date: 1 -16 -97 Capital Number: Name: Ultrasound Machine Description: Diagnostic ultrasound monitoring equipment capable of high definition imaging w th Present System: Currentiv providing scanning service with one (1) ATL Mark 9 Ultrasound Machine Alternatives to Proposal: Work load justifies another machine Alternative would be to refer patients to another facility- or contract with a mobile service to provide additional scanning services. • Second shift has been considered but would require a Radiologist to be here Rationale for Recommendation: The need exists for an additional machine Technologists are doing from 10 to 15 scans per day. It is recommended that one tech do 8 - 10 scans per shift. This work level leaves tittle room for add-on emergency exams Techs have been accommodating the physicians and the patients by giving up their work breaks and lunch breaks to work STAT patients into the dail schedule As of this date the daily schedule has no opening for the next 10 working days. The addition of another OB /GYN physician will only add to an already full work load Amount Budgeted: S 130.000.00 Proposed Purchase Price: S 149.445.00 If not budgeted, state budgeted equipment to be "traded" for requested capital equipment: Manager/ Supervisor Signature President Signature (required for purchases 55,000 or • D &TA=g\UScap.do ly HUTCHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE • Capital Expenditure for: Diagnostic Ultrasound Machine Action Requested: Approval to request bids for an additional Ultrasound Machine Background: Additional ultrasound work load has required that our techs do from 10 to 15 exams per 8 hour shift. Recommended that only 8 - 10 exams be done. As of this date, ultrasound exams continue to be scheduled out up to 10 days with no room allowed for add -on emergency exams. Techs have been accommodating requests from the physicians for working patients into the schedule by giving up their work breaks and lunch breaks. To meet additional daily STAT requests, we reschedule non - emergency exams to another day. Patients have voiced concern about being rescheduled after they have already had to wait a number of days to get into the schedule. Patients are not receiving appropriate attention during the exams due to the need to rush through the exam to get to the next patient. We are unable to do testing after 4pm because of the need to have the radiologist available to view the exam before the patient leaves. • Strategic With such a tight schedule, we have to (1) reschedule some patients to Consideration other days which interrupts their schedules, (2) postpone STAT work by priority, (3) refer work to a mobile service, or (4) refer the patient to another outside facility for testing. Other Information: See attached graphs for work load analysis Financial Impact: Approximate cost: $149,445.00 Payback: 0.58 years Budgeted amount: $130,000.00 D&T:d=g\USmp2.D0C • 16 • HUTCHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE RADIOLOGY SERVICES iii TRASOL'ND IMAGING SYSTEM PURCHASE RECOMMENDATION Prepared by: Dan Pen - me, Diagnostics & Therapeutics Manager Bids for the purchase of an Ultrasound I magin g System were opened on Wednesday, January 8, 1997. Two vendors submitted bids: Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc.: HDI 3000 $149,445.00 Acuson: Aspen @ $184,500.00 Acuson: 128XP g $119,000.00 A. Bid Specifications The analvsis of the bids reveals that the Acuson Aspen Ultrasound System at the highest bid of $184,500.00 does not include a specification for digital reconstruction zoom that re- creates the magnified image, in Freeze mode, from the original digital ultrasound data, does not do post processing of the Cineloop images; and only supports up to two scanheads simultaneously. There was no mention of any options which would allow us to bring this unit up to the bid specifications. . Acuson also bid the 128XP Ultrasound Color Doppler hnaging System at a bid of $119,000.00. This system does not operate within the frequency range as specified, does not scan in a digital beam but converts the scan information into digital information, does not have digital reconstruction zoom, only supports up to two scanheads simultaneously, lists the electronic biopsy guidance lines as an additional $2,000.00 option, and does not include an intracavitary probe. Based on information contained within the bid, this equipment does not meet the bid specifications. Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc. HDI 3000 met all listed specifications except one. ATL will only guarantee the availability of spare parts, repair service, and software maintenance for a period of seven years after ATL ceases to manufacture the equipment. The bid specification specified a period of ten years from the date of equipment acceptance. We would recommend waiving this requirement. The cost of the ATL HDI 3000 system is $35,055.00 less than the Acuson Aspen system. Acuson's Aspen system did not meet all specifications, some of which are critical specifications. Acuson's 128XP system falls far short of bid specifications in numerous areas and they made no mention of whether they complied or not. B. Warranty and Support Service Both systems would be serviced through a regional servicing system. This system consists of calling a customer service center. Both bidders guarantee one -hour telephone response • times with Acuson guaranteeing 8 hour on -site response with ATL guaranteeing a 24 hour 11 • Ultrasound Imaging System Bid Evaluation - Pane 2 on -site response. Even though ATL has a longer on -site response time guarantee, they guarantee a 100% up time system as compared to Acuson's 99% up time guarantee. ATL's labor and travel service costs are less than Acuson's. Extended service contracts are offered by both bidders with Acuson at a 5 year cost of $71,000.00 and ATL at a 5 year cost of $53,600.00. C. Training Both bidders agreed to requests for installation and training as per specifications. Acuson's bid includes 2 days of intensive on -site training., ATL's bid included 3 - 4 days of on -site training. It is extremely important that we have as much training as possible to give the staff time to learn the system and time to develop questions during the training. Acuson also included an extensive booklet of additional training seminars ranging from $150.00 to $7000.00 per course. The ability to attend these seminars is not contingent on the purchase of the Acuson system. Based upon these justification: the Aspen's higher cost and inability to meet all specifications, and the inability of the 128XP system to meet a number of bid specifications, it is recommended that the Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc. bid be accepted and the HDI 3000 Ultrasound Imaging System be purchased from Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc. at a cost of • $149,445,00, • 1" 0 HUTCHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE Ultrasound Imaging System 0 0 BID OPENING DATE: January 8, 1997 BIDS OPENED BY: Phil Graves Dan Perrino Robyn Erickson Jacki Rossi Corrinne Schlueter DATE: 1/8/97, 10:00 AM - Conference Room F ADMW ABI DS'BIDULTRASOUND.

Swanson Absent: Doug Johnson, Floyd Groehler, Eldon Barkeim, and Ron Carter It was noted that no Employee Safety Committee meeting was held in November. There was discussion regarding completion of the City Center evacuation policy as well as creating a policy for the other City buildings. Scott reported on the Safety First training presented by Lyle Loge for the water /wastewater department. Other departmental safety training programs are as follows: • Floyd - Video available • • Scott - AWAIR program by Chad Peterson > Tom - Evacuation map for City Center; fire extinguisher training by Fire Marshal A discussion followed regarding the required inspection of City fire extinguishers. It was reported that Dan Steele is the Fire Department contact person. John reviewed the responsibilities of the Safety Committee members and welcomed the two new members, namely Scott Hanson and Mark Weis. He reported that certificates of recognition would be presented at a later time to out -going members Doug Johnson and Gale Boelter. Hazel showed the committee a draft copy of the certificate which was unanimously approved. It was reported that the City has purchased a copy of the OSHA Compliance Manual, and it will be on file in the City Center Library along with other safety materials. Following discussion of wrap -up on the City Safety Manual, Hazel stated she would determine if all affected employees had signed off on receiving a copy. It was the general consensus of the committee that the safety booth was well received at the City Health Wellness Fair. Therefore, the committee will plan to sponsor a booth in 1997. The suggestion was made to distribute the left -over materials in the various employee break rooms. • SAFETY COMMITTEE - DECEMBER 19, 1996 Dick suggested the following 1997 planning ideas: • CPR Training • Refresher course for recertification every two years • Respond could do training • Certified people in Fire Department who could do training • Establish Goals and Objectives for 1997 • Evaluate Safety Committee and its functions • Respond check City first -aid kits to determine if properly supplied and in compliance with OSHA • Employee Right -to -Know > Labeling > Dangerous Chemicals > Office Machine Inks • Presentation on Stretching and Ergonomics -- Sandy Otto from Hospital The next committee meeting will be held on the fourth Thursday of the month, January 23, 1997, at 10:00 a.m. in the City Center Main Conference Room.

Sincerely, s _ John Houlahan 'ON • PIONEERLAND LIBRARY SYSTEM'S AUTOMATION NEWSLETTER JANUARY 1997; VOLUME I This informal communication will be sent periodically over the next 2 -3 years to inform city and county officials; city and county administrators, members of Pioneerland Library System and local library boards, and library staff on the development and implementation of Pioneerland Library System's automation services, operations and products. Newsletter will aim to keep information limited to one page. Cities and Counties Approve PL.S ONLINE 2000 Payment Plans Thanks and congratulations to all cities and counties for their financial support will make automation a reality for the libraries and patrons in Pioneerland Library System service area. 30 of 31 of Pioneerland Library System libraries have the funding to be automated and Pioneerland Library System is optimistic that the 31 st one will also find funding. All total 9 of 9 counties and 30 of 31 cities selected one of the three payment plans. The one remaining city is seeking funding. The breakdown for the three options are: 2 counties and 8 cities selected l year option; 6 counties and 20 cities selected 2 years; and 1 county and 2 cities selected three years. i Installing Internet in Libraries Will Begin Soon Over the next 3-4 months, Pioneerland Staff will be installing intemet services in all 31 • libraries. First installation will take place in mid February with most installations taking placing in March and April. Installation is contingent on vendors being able to fill Pioneerland Library System and other Minnesota's schools and libraries' orders for intemet and telecommunication equipment. Additionally, some telephone companies have lacked the equipment to handle the projected intemet traffic. Local telephone companies should complete their upgrades within the next 30 -60 days. Internet Training Options Are BeingExplored Pioneerland Library System is exploring various options of providing intemet training to library staff. All head librarians will be required to attend the Feb. 14 workshop " You and the Internet ". Staff also will be provided basic hands on instructions after intemet is installed in their library and Pioneerland's intemet provider is developing an online manual to guide library patrons and staff in using the intemet. _Question Of The Week Each issue will feature an automation question that we receive at PLS administrative headquarters. This week's question comes from a city council member who asked on January 17, "Will there be additional telephone charges for using internet." Answer: Presently, grants from State of Minnesota and US WEST are picking up the telecommunication's costs. State Legislature is being asked to continue this support over the next biennium beginning on July 1, 1997. • 0 NEWS COLUMN For Immediate Release January 24, 1997 WELFARE REFORM IN MINNESOTA: STRIVING FOR SELF- SUFFICIENCY ST. PAUL — The federal government passed a welfare reform bill that allows and requires states more individual control over welfare programs. This legislative session, we will need to adjust state and county welfare policy to the federal changes and continue examining the best proposals targeted at ending the cycle of entrapment dependence. • Welfare reform must reduce poverty and strengthen our families and children. Creating stable, self- sufficient families cannot be done without proper incentives and well - structured benefits. I am firmly committed to my belief that, " it ought to pay to work" and we need to help people to self sufficiency. The most successful welfare program to be considered by the Minnesota Legislature this session, is based on the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MffM which has been pilot tested with much success in eight counties. Although the up front costs are more, MFIP has demonstrated the ability to nearly double the number of out of poverty, employed recipients over traditional welfare provisions. The overall goal of'4FW, which Is one I strongly support, is to help lift families out of the poverty- welfare trap by expecting, supporting and rewarding work and helping them achieve self sufficiency. This plan would use state funds and federal block grant funding to create the new statewide MFIP. Federal block grants are available as a replacement for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) that will now be changed to "Temporary Aid to Needy Families" (TANF). —MORE- 0 • We must emphasize work In order to achieve self-sufficiency. Statewide MFIP would require two -parent families to immediately meet work requirements while one- parent families would have six months to meet requirements. Those who fail to meet the work requirements would have their cash assistance level reduced by 25 to 35 percent. • Recipients would continue to receive assurance until their income (earnings plus assistance) reaches 120 percent of the federal poverty level or they have been In the program for five years. • Keeping families together and finding affordable child can are important elements of a successful strategy to escape poverty. This proposal addresses this by removing rules that make it hard for parents to stay together and guaranteeing child care help to working families on assistance. State job finding assistance and on the job training will also help recipients to severe a good job. * Medical care is an important ingredient when considering welfare reform. Medical Assistance will continue to be available for more low- income citizens who qualified previously. As Minnesotans on MFIP work their way off welfare, they may be able to take part in the Minnesota Care program which provides health insurance with subsidized premiums based on income levels. • To help prevent fraud and the "welfare- magnet" problem, new eligibility requirements are included In this proposal. • • Convicted drug offenders would have cash assistance replaced with vouchers for specific services. • People from out of state would not be eligible for 30 days and their benefits would be limited to those available in their previous state of residency for one year. In addition, the federal food stamp program will limit eligibility to some current recipients. s Able - bodied adults, without children, who do not work at least 20 hours a week will be allowed only three months of benefits in any three -year period. We must continue to work toward breaking the link between welfare dependency and poverty. Incentives that encourage work and self - sufficiency will replace barriers that discouraged them under the old system. "Community" and compassion are not served by a system that does not promote dignity and Independence. We will need the help, support and cooperation of employers and the community to make these new initiatives work.
