Z HUTCHINSON POLICE COMMISSION MINUTES
The Hutchinson Police Commission held a meeting on August 28, 1996, at the Hutchinson
Police Department. Present at the meeting were John Decker, Cheryl Dooley, Rick Nass
and Chief Steve Madson. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 a.m.
Chief Madson stated that there were three items for the Commission's consideration. First,
he stated that is would be necessary for the communication specialist eligibility roster to
be updated. Madson informed the Commission that Vicki Hillmann had been terminated
during the training period due to her inability to perform the duties assigned. The next
name on the roster was contacted for interview purposes. At this point Ms. Martinez stated
that she had accepted a job elsewhere and was no longer interested in the position. The
next person on the list was Dianne Rathbun who was contacted and interviewed. Chief
Madson stated that the next name on the eligibility list is Rosa Dostal. A motion as made
by Cheryl Dooley, seconded by Rick Nass, to accept Dianne Rathbun and to place Rosa
Dostal on the eligibility roster. Motion carried.
The next item for the Commission's consideration was that the police department had been
given authority to hire a new patrol officer under the Cops FAST grant. Chief Madson
stated that Officer Steve Paschke, who was on the eligibility roster, had been hired to fill
the position. The remaining individuals in the top 10 of the eligibility list were contacted
and all had accepted positions with other agencies. Due to the fact that we are getting
very low in the rankings Madson suggested that the eligibility list be discarded and a new
list developed. A motion was made by John Decker, seconded by Rick Nass, to discard
the eligibility list and allow the police department to proceed with developing a new roster.
Motion carried.
The final item Chief Madson requested the commission to review was regarding the
communication supervisor position. An internal posting had been done for the position
with Madson receiving one applicant - Jan Brown. He stated with the restructuring in the
department - one lieutenants position being attrited after a retirement - that it was
necessary to fill the communication supervisor position which had been vacated by Patsy
Niska. After some discussion a motion was made by Cheryl Dooley, seconded by Rick
Nass, to approve Jan Brown's name for the communication supervisor list. Motion carried.
With there being no further business to discuss, a motion was made by Cheryl Dooley,
seconded by Rick Nass, to adjourn. Motion carried.
Time of adjournment was 8:00 a.m.

TO: Gary Plotz, City Administrator
FROM: John P. Rodeberg, Director of Engineering/Public Works
RE: Two-Way Communications Sanitary Sewer Service
Following our discussions with Len and Dori Johnson (owners of the property), Mayor Torgerson,
Cal Rice and Carly Karg, we still have issues to resolve regarding the sanitary sewer service that is
freezing up. Based on our review, we stand by our earlier statements that nothing that was done by
the City could have negatively effected the service. The only portion of the line that was touched
was steepened in slope. Records indicate that the line in question is only 4 to 4.5' deep, well less
than the recommended minimum depth of 7 feet. Not only are we not surprised that it froze, we
would have been surprised if it didn't.
We understand from Carly Karg that this service has frozen at least twice prior to the City rebuilding
the street and sewer service. Both the City and Carly believe that the increased freezing is due to
the change in occupancy of the building from high water use (Tri-County Water) to low use (Two -
Way Communications). We can not find any information to support the owners point that problems
have only occurred since the construction.
We do, however, see the ability to provide a compromise position. For fairly minimal cost (less than
$2,000) the City could extend the sewer service from the U -Haul (City- owned) lot to the property
line prior to construction of the parking lot at no cost to the property owners. In lieu of no fee, the
owners shall allow the City to slope their property adjacent to the building. The owner shall then
be responsible to connect the service to their private service on their own property.
If you think that this solution is reasonable, we will have Barry complete an agreement to be
presented to the Council and the Johnson's.

RE: City Center Facility Security - Proposed Changes
I have received positive unanimous results regarding the following improvements. The only pending
matter would be funding and receipt of approvals from City Council, HRA, and HCDC Boards.
• Remove the interior passage door and sidelight between HCDC/HRA and the
Engineering/Building area. Wrap opening with/sheetrock and tape.
• Key both south entry doors the same, and use them only as secured staff entry doors.
• Add another canopy over the S.E. staff entrance door.
• Remove the HCDC sign from the S.W. entry door.
• Add HCDC(HRA signage at front lobby area above Public Works/Planning signage.
• Reprogram entry lock at Administration/Finance side.
• Direct maintenance staff and others = to prop corridor doors open.
• Maintain all landscaping trees etc. with either high or low plantings.
If you have other ideas, please share them with me so they can be incorporated. Unless directed
• otherwise, I Mll move forward with this plan around September 15, 1996.

• Dear Gary:
1 , rET� T�
1 �. /.'111 ,
Thank you for enclosing the Public Employment Newsletter of the
Ratwik law firm. I thought while the advice given by Ann Goering
had merit and it is something we may wish to consider relative to
closed meetings to discuss personnel issues, I have not retreated
from my prior position that recording closed meetings makes sense.
I also think Goering's advice was incomplete.
If the newsletter was circulated to Council members, they may find
both this correspondence and my responsive letter to be of some
interest and you should include this in the next Council packet.
Thank you. Beat personal regards.
Very truly Y9ura„

Dear Ms. Goering:
•
This office represents the City of Hutchinson.
Your Public
Employment Law Newsletter, recently received by
the City,
referenced your opinion that closed meetings should
not be tape
recorded unless labor negotiations are discussed.
The latter point is not much of an issue in this community because
there are no union contracts extant here.
while your point regarding possible review of performance issues
has merit, your advice to not tape record closed meetings is
incomplete at best.
For example, a risk to not tape recording meetings is an allegation
by either interested party or simply a "concerned citizen" (who may
or may not have an axe to grind with the present community
leadership) that a closed meeting was "illegal" because matters not
relating to the proper subject of a closed meeting were discussed.
For example, an allegation might be made that in addition to
discussing certain litigation concerns the closed meeting also
touched on an employment performance issue which may or may not
have been related to the litigation then underway or threatened.
A tape recording of the closed meeting provides proof that no such
open meeting law violation has occurred.
• Additionally, your advice ignores situations where the Data
Practices Act would not apply. In other words, in circumstances
where a lawsuit has been commenced over a government contract the
data practice issues that you raise in your memo would not arise.

I conceive of a number of circumstances where it would be very
helpful to be able to refer to the tape recorded closed meeting to
provide proof of good faith, to demonstrate the course of
negotiations or to otherwise protect the interests of the City.
Your argument here is not without merit and I do believe our
community is going to rethink the issue of tape recording closed
meetings relative to personnel matters, although at present
Hutchinson's policy-is to tape record all such closed meetings to
preserve the record. I might be mistaken about this, but I seem to
recall that the League of Minnesota Cities has opined similarly.
Thank you for providing Hutchinson with a copy of your newsletter.
Best.personal regards.
Very truly yours,

OPEN MEETING LAW: DO NOT
TAPE RECORD CLOSED MEETINGS
UNLESS LABOR NEGOTIATIONS
ARE BEING DISCUSSED
By Ann R- Goering
The Minnesota Open Meeting law requires the governing
boards of political subdivisions to close meetings under certain
specific circumstances. When meetings are closed for the pur-
O poses of discussing labor negotiations the meetings must be tape
recorded. Governing boards are strongly cautioned, however,
that it is not advisable to tape record any other type of closed
meeting. The tape recording of meetings other than those ad-
dressing labor negotiations may result in conflicts under the Min-
nesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) which com-
promise the confidential nature of the closed meeting.
The Open Meeting law, Minn. Slat. § 471.705, allows gov-
eming bodies to close meetings without tape recording them or
otherwise recording what occurs during them, under the follow-
ing circumstances:
1. To discuss data that would identify alleged victims or
reporters of criminal sexual conduct, domestic abuse,
or maltreatment of minors or vulnerable adults.
2. To discuss active investigative data as defined in Minn.
Slat. § 13.62, Subd. 5, or internal affairs data relating
to allegations of law enforcement misconduct collected
or created by a state agency, statewide system or
political subdivision.
3. To discuss educational data, health data, medical data,
welfare data, or mental health data that are not public
data pursuant to the MGDPA.
4. For preliminaryconsidffation of allegations or charges
against an individual subject to the governing board's
authority'
5. To evaluate the performance of an individual who is
subject to the governing board's authority.'
•
6. For other reasons permitted by law or pursuant to the
attorney- client privilege.
In addition to the reasons listed above, governing boards
may also close meetings for die purposes of discussing labor
negotiations. In the case of labor negotiations, governing boards
Summer 1996
and comruttees of governing boards must tape record all closed
meetings, The recording will later be made available to the
public after all contracts are signed. Labor negotiations are
the only circumstance under which a closed meeting must be
tape recorded. See Minn. Slat. § 471.705, Subd. la.
The application of the MGDPA is the reason that govern-
ing boards should avoid tape recording closed meetings other
than those at which labor negotiations are discussed. The
MGDPA governs the access of governmental data, and may re-
quire that tape recordings made of closed meeting be accessible
in certain circumstances.
Under the MGDPA, government data is defined as "all data
collected, created, stored, received, maintained or disseminated
by any state agency, political subdivision, or statewide system
regardless of its physical form, storage media or conditions of
use." Minn. Slat. § 13.02, Subd. 7. An audio tape of a meeting
of the governing board of the political subdivision would, under
this definition, constitute government data. While there may be
no legal requirement to record the data in the first place, once it
is recorded, it is subject to the MGDPA. The same is taste of
other forms of documentation of closed meetings, including notes
and transcripts.
Government data may be accessed by certain individuals or
the public as a whole, depettding upon how the data is classi-
fied. If the data identifies an individual or individuals, the data
must be classified as "data on individuals." Minn. Slat. § 13.02,
Subd. 5. "Data on individuals" must be further classified in one
of the following three categories:
1. Private data on individuals - data as to which the
public is denied access by a state or federal law or
regulation, but which is accessible to the subject of
the data or, in the case of minors, their parents as well.
Minn. Slat. § 13.02, Subd- 12.
2. Confidential data on individuals - data made not
public by state or federal law and as to which the
subject of the data is also denied access. Minn. Slat.
§ 13.02, Subd. 3; See also Minn. Rules, Pan 1205.0200,
Subp. 3.
3. Public data on individuals- data which the public may
access because no state or federal law or regulation
denies such access. Minn. Slat. § 13.02, Subd. 15.
In most cases, the data discussed in a closed meeting
constitutes private data. In the event that the governing body

ence hearing was held. His termination was upheld and it was
determined that he was not entitled to back pay. The Commis -
sionerof Veterans Affairs affirmed the administrative lawjudge's
decision.
In the Court of Appeals, Harr argued that he was entitled to
back wages and interest that accrued from July 2, 1990, to June
19, 1992, the dates of his suspension and the termination of his
employment respectively. Hart argued that because it was im-
possible for him to comply with the terms of the suspension. it
amounted to a removal in violation of the VPA.
In its decision. the Court of Appeals reviewed the basic prin-
ciples of the VPA, noung that the Act provides that an honor-
ably- discharged veteran holding a position in public employment
can be removed from his position only for "incompetency or
misconduct" proved after a hearing. Minn. Scat. 197.46. The
Court noted that a veteran is "removed" from his or her position
when the effect of the employer's action is to make it unlikely or
improbable that the veteran will be able to return to thejob. With
regard to the payment of salary or wages during suspension, the
Court indicated that: ( I ) a suspension without pay pending dis-
charge proceedings is illegal, (2) suspension with pay pending
discharge proceedings is permissible, and (3) a disciplinary sus-
pension without pay is permissible.
Although under normal circumstances, a veteran could be
suspended without pay for disciplinary reasons, the Court held
that Harr had been "removed" from his position from the date of
his suspension on July 2, 1990, as it was impossible for him to
comply with the conditions imposed for returning to work after
the suspension. First. his driving privileges had been terminated
after his second DWI arrest, and it was not possible for him to
obtain a valid permit_ Second, because Harr was suspended
without pay and without benefits, the Court found that Harr had
no way to pay for the alcohol treatment program he was required
to complete as a condition of his suspension. Accordingly, the Court
found shat Han had been terminated effective July? 1990, the date
the terms of the suspension were imposed. Harr was therefore
entitled to equitable back wages. stemming from that date.
The Court also held that the long delay prior to Harr's
veterans preference hearing was caused by his own conduct. The
Court found that it would be inequitable to allow Harr to recover
full back pay for the lengthy period of time in question, which had

VETERANS PREFERENCE ACT:
SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY
DEEMED "REMOVAL," BUT DELAY

WITH HEARING RESULTS IN
REDUCTION OF BACK PAY
By Thomas P. Carlson
In a recent decision, Han v. City of FAma 541 N.W'.2d
603 (Minn. CE. App. 1996), the Minnesota Court of Appeals
held that where the terms of a suspension are such that it is
impossible for the employee to satisfy the conditions required
to return to employment, the suspension operates as a discharge
under Minn. Stat. § 197.46, the Veterans Preference Act ( VPA).
Lloyd Harr is an honorably discharged veteran. From 1985
to July 2, 1990, Harr was employed by the City of Edina as an
equipment operator for the City's Parks Department. His duties
included the frequent operation of heavy equipment, including
plows, trucks, and tractors.
On December 30, 1986, Harr was arrested for driving while
under the influence of alcohol. The City held a disciplinary hear-
ing on January 8. 1987. Harr was suspended for two days. The
City also required Harr to complete chemical dependency treat-
ment. Harr complied and was allowed to return to work after the
two -day suspension.
On May 28, 1990, Ham was again arrested for driving
while under the influence of alcohol. Following a disciplin-
ary hearing, the City suspended Harr for 30 days beginning
July 2, 1990. In order to return to the employ of the City

PSC Revises Municipal Electric Rate Process
John C. Andres, CPA, Partner
The Public Service Com-
mission of Wisconsin (PSC)
recently revised its munici-
pal electric rate case process.
The PSC's goal is to stream-
line the rate adjustment pro-
cess. This will help munici-
pal utilities address electric
industry restructuring issues,
as well as maintain rate ad-
vantages for all customers.
What has changed.
All rate cases start with
preparation of forecasted fi-
nancial results for a future
test year (a budget). The
previous rate process asked
for a myriad of information
in order to prepare an accu-
rate forecast. After the util-
ity submitted its forecasted
data, the PSC reviewed it and
developed its own forecast.
The revised process
acknowledges that this infor-
mation is a forecast — actual
results will vary. The vari-
ance, however, may be
acceptable in exchange for
simplifying the process.
Therefore, the PSC will rely
on your forecast, if it is
reasonable.
To accomplish this
streamlining, the PSC has
revised its information ques-
tionnaire. They are asking
utilities to closely follow this
format.
1—Set rates with
acceptable increases/
decreases for all
classes of customers.
2 —Set rates that are
competitive to other
utilities.
3 —Set rates that
cover the cost of pro-
viding service to each
class of customers.
disproportionately. But, this
may not be acceptable to
managemenL
The new process
allows management to phase
in the desired change over
several small rate adjust-
ments without an over-
whelming administrative
burden.
What do I do now?
Utility management must
know how its rates stand
based on the objectives
above. Ask yourself three
questions:
What hasn't changed.
The revised process
allows the utility and its con-
sultant to focus on fair and
equitable rates. The process
of designing rates addresses
three major objectives:
Often these objectives
can't all be met in one rate
filing. For example, the util-
ity may have one class of
customer rates that are
higher than competitors.
The remedy would be to
increase all other classes
"Delinquent Utility Bills" continued from page l
within 14 days of the
delinquency.
If the landlord is properly
notified, the amount can be
placed on the tax roll, if not
paid. The customer and
landlord do not have to be
notified again after original
notification has taken place.
Mobile Home Parks.
Delinquent bills for
mobile home parks can be
placed on the tax roll if the
service is metered at the
mobile home park. If the ser-
vice is metered at the mobile
home unit, delinquencies
cannot be placed on the tax
roll, but become a lien on the
mobile home unit.
Who Is exempt?
Town sanitary districts
and inland lake districts with
700 or fewer connections are
currently exempt from
AB 290.
How can you safeguard
collection of delinquent
bills?

Make sure your billing
system sends delinquent
notifications to landlords as
well as customers/tenants.
Use an affidavit of mail-
ing or other means to provide
proof of mailing.

US West appeals directly to the Supreme Court
Tim Busse
As expected, US West has ap-
pealed the District Court decision that
reaffirmed the rights of cities to
manage what goes on in the public
rights of way. In a surprising move, the
telecommunications giant appealed
directly to the Minnesota Supreme
Court and asked for an accelerated
review of the case.
Specifically, US West is asking the
Minnesota Supreme Court to review
the district court's decision that cities
have the authority to regulate telephone
companies by requiring encasement of
fiber optics cable in concrete and to
impose what US West refers to as
"revenue generating franchise fees."
According to the appeal, US West is
going directly to the Minnesota
Supreme Court because "the questions
raised are of imperative public impor-
tance and will have statewide impact."
"Cities certainly agree that the
questions are of imperative public
importance," said League Executive
Director Jim Miller. "Protecting the
public investment in streets and
sidewalks, and protecting taxpayers
from paying hidden taxes in the form
of subsidies to private businesses are
both of imperative importance to cities
and their taxpayers."
In the appeal, US West again states
their objection to a Redwood Falls
ordinance which requires utilities
burying new fiber optic line to either
encase it in concrete or otherwise limit
the city's liability in respect to damage
of the cable. The ordinance also
charges a permit fee to dig in city
streets and imposes an annual fee for
using the valuable public property
beneath city streets.
In going directly to the Minnesota
Supreme Court, US West is looking to
move right past the Court of Appeals.
Since our last issue of the Bulletin, these cities have made their
payments to the Rights
of Way Fund. Thanks
to all cities who
have paid so far.

Rights of Way Fund reaches half -way point
Tim Busse
,1
A little more than six weeks into
the campaign, the League's Rights of
Way Fund drive has reached the half-
way mark. The initial request for
payment went out the first week of
July, and since that time about 400
Minnesota cities have paid almost
5100,000 into the fund. The goal is to
reach $200,000.
"It's gratifying to see how Minne-
sota cities have united to respond to
recent challenges to municipal
authority to manage rights of way,"
said League Executive Director Jim
Miller. "Thank you to all cities who
have paid so far."
The League Board created the
fund soon after US West sued the city
of Redwood Falls, challenging the
city's right to manage the public right
of way. The fund will help implement
a work plan addressing the legal,
legislative and public information
demands cities face. With the fund
reaching the halfway mark, an end of
the summer update on each part of the
plan is in order.
Legal
It appears to be only a matter of
time before US West formally appeals
the District Court decision that
reaffirmed cities' rights to set require-
ments on utilities using the public
rights of way. US West appears to be
trying to time the appeal so that a court
decision would not come out before
the legislative session is almost over.
The League is monitoring the appeal
process and will react accordingly.
Legislative
In an effort to get a solid handle on
rights of way related costs, the League
has hired Springsted, Inc. to prepare a
cost recovery study. While conven-
tional logic says that utilities using the
right of way are getting a great deal,
the Springsted project will give cities
strong evidence showing that property
taxpayers are indeed subsidizing
private industry in the rights of way.
From the start, it's been clear that
this debate will ultimately be decided
in the Legislature. With that in mind, a
large portion of the Rights of Way
Fund will go toward the legislative
effort. The League issued a Request for
Proposals in early August seeking
lobbying assistance on the issue. Nine
firms responded to the RFP' and late
last week the RFP Selection Committee
forwarded their recommendations to
the League Board. Selection Commit-
tee members include Nancy Larson of
the Small Cities Association, Duluth
Mayor Gary Doty, lack Kegel of the
Minnesota Municipal Utilities Associa-
tion, Chuck Armstrong of St. Paul and
Bill Bamhat of Minneapolis.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
INFORMATIONAL MEETING FOR JEFFERSON STREET RESIDENTS
• SEPTEMBER 12,1996,5:30 P.M.
HUTCHINSON CITY CENTER
Introductions - Ed Homan, McLeod County Zoning Administrator, explained the purpose of the
meeting as informational for the residents who live along Jefferson St. South to Airport Road. He
explained there have been calls regarding failing septic systems and questions regarding annexation.
Ed introduced the staff persons from the County and City who were available to answer questions.
Roger Berggen, County Environmentalist, lead discussion on septic systems; John Rodeberg, City
Director of Engineering, lead discussion on servicing the area with sewer and water; and Jim Marka,
City Director of Building, Planning and Zoning, lead discussion on taxes and benefits.
Rules and Regulations of Septic Systems - Roger Berggren commented on MN Chapter 7080 rules
regarding existing septic systems. He explained the shoreland regulations are different from areas
not considered shoreland. Roger commented on the Compliance Inspection Form utilized to meet
the criteria for existing septic systems. A certified inspector will complete the form and report
findings to the State and County. There are a number of types of failing systems which each require
replacement time lines. McLeod County follows the standards in the updated 7080 rules.
Extending City Sewer Services - John Rodeberg commented on the extension of city sanitary sewer
• service in the Jefferson St. area. He stated the extension is not in the five year plan. John explained
it is not economically feasible to extend services beyond the Jefferson Court cul-de -sac. Lift stations
would be necessary to proceed south beyond Jefferson Court. Extension of services would require
replacement of the road and adding curb and gutter. This would be an expensive project. John
stated the county would pay a portion of the over sizing of the road. The assessments to the
properties along Jefferson St. would be approximately $110.00 to $140.00 per front foot. He
commented on the City policy regarding assessments and again stated this area is not in the 5 year
plan. There was discussion on the river crossing costs and explanation of dividing the costs.
Discussion followed regarding the city providing services as far south as the cul -de -sac. John
explained the Sewer Service District concept.
Public Health and Safety Concerns - Roger Berggem commented on the potential health problems
the smaller lots on Jefferson St. have with the proximity of the septic systems to the wells. Septic
replacement will be very difficult.
Taxes and Benefits - Jim Marka commented on the property taxes and presented a comparison chart
of township and city taxes. He explained the electric and improvement hookup costs. He stated the
city is not obligated to serve annexations. Jim stated this is only a meeting to give the residents
information should they decide to petition the city for annexation. He explained the annexation
public hearing process. There was discussion of extending services in a sequential order and the
possibility of providing services to a portion of Jefferson St. when annexed. Health and safety issues
• will be a consideration.
Jefferson St. Informational Meeting
• September 12, 1996
Page 2
Rick Kjonaas, McLeod County D of Engineering, commented on the road and the fact nothing
is planned in the near future for the road.
Carlie Karg, licensed septic contractor, stated property transfers are requiring septic certification and
it is State law to file the certification for failing systems.
Roger Berggren stated McLeod County does not require certification of septic systems on every
transfer. He explained the mortgage companies may still require certification (even though the
county does not) and the results must be reported to the State and County.
John Rodeberg stated the land use would be R -1 (Single Family Residence District).
Discussion followed on the present use of property. Ed Homan explained the possibility of feed lots
in the annexation. He stated feed lots would be "grandfathered in" however, there could be no
increase in number of animals.

soil or a wet area, then it is also not taking care of any of the problems. All those
problems are running directly into the groundwater and following that
groundwater to where ever it ends up _sometimes that is right back into your house
through your well. It's important that the system be designed to be 3 feet above the
saturated soil to take care of it.

ADDITIOS QUESTIONS TO ASK
All Businesses
What type of reportfng/recordkeeping will be done?
You should be able to obtain a copy of any reports
(inspection, design, as -built drawings, pumping
record, etc.) on your system. Keep this information.
Pumpers
How will you pump and clean out my septic tank?
The pumper should indicate that pumping will be
done through the maintenance hole (not the 4"
inspection pipe). When pumping through the
maintenance hole, the pumper must remove all the
materials in the tank and then backtlush the tank to
clean it. After cleaning, the pumper can verify the
tank is watertight and that tank baffles are in place.
Installers
Do you guarantee your work for any time period?
It is reasonable to request a written guarantee for at
least one full year, to assure that the system is
functioning properly and that you don't have freezing
or settling problems.
Designers
How will you conduct my site evaluation and design?
One or more site visits are necessary to establish
the proper location for the system based on the soils,
the depth to the saturated soil or bedrock and the
natural land slope. Soil borings are required to
determine soil texture (for system sizing) and color
(to establish depth to saturated soil).
The design for a dwelling is based on the results of
the site evaluation, including the items above, size of
the home, number of water using devices and the
strength of the waste.
All soil treatment systems are designed to have at
least 3 feet of vertical separation to seasonally
saturated soil or bedrock. If the natural soil cannot
provide the necessary separation, then an above-
ground system (mound or at- grade) must be designed.
CJ
3 -Foot Vertical Separation
Mound
Al -Grade
Trench
L r
Inspectors
How will you evaluate that my systems is working and
meets requirements?
For existing systems, the inspection must include a
determination that: 1) the sewage tank is watertight;
2) there is no ground surface or surface water discharge;
3) there is as least 3 feet of vertical separation distance
from the bottom of the soil treatment system area to
saturated soil or bedrock; and 4) there is no imminent
public health threat.
For new systems, the inspection must provide
reasonable, (assurance that the system meets stale
requirements..This includes inspecting; 1) the tank(s);
2) the pump(s); 3) (lie soil treatment area; 4) system
sizing; 5) setbacks to wells, waterlines, property lines,
etc.; 6) materials; and 7) the vertical separation distance.

GUIDE TO HIRING
SEPTIC SYSTEM
PROFESSIONALS
Z�
!r Printed on paper containing at Icut 10 percent nben from
papa recycled by cunsumcu
n
LJ
There are many reasons property owners who have
septic systems may need to hire a professional.
Regular maintenance, system repair, inspection,
design and new system installation are common
activities done by professionals.
THE ISTS ACT
In 1994 the State Legislature passed the Individual
Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS) Act. This law
covers many areas related to septic systems, including
minimum technical standards, disclosure at property
transfer and a state -wide licensing program for all
ISTS businesses.
THE LICENSING PROGRAM
Effective April 1, 1996, all businesses who do septic
system work must obtain a state license.
A business must have a $10,000 bond and general
liability insurance to be licensed. In addition, a
licensed business must have at least one Designated
Registered Professional who has training,
examination and experience in the specialty area(s) of
the license.
SPECIALTY AREAS FOR BUSINESSES
AND PROFESSIONALS
Licenses are issued to businesses with registered
professionals in one or more specialty areas. The
types of licenses and what functions they cover are as
follows:
Pumper
Removes septage from holding tanks, septic tanks,
portable toilets; stores, hauls and properly disposes of
septage; and identifies problems related to septic
tanks and related piping and devices.
Designer II •
Conducts site evaluations to properly locate a system
designs septic systems.
Designer I
In addition to performing the same functions as a
Designer 11, a business with this type of license also
conducts septic system compliance inspections, issues
written certificates of compliance, notices of
noncompliance and inspection reports.
Installer
Constructs, installs, alters and repairs systems.
Inspector
Evaluates Designer 11 work; conducts compliance
inspections, permitting and inspection activities; and
issues written certificates of compliance, notices of
noncompliance and inspection reports.
FINDING A LICENSED BUSINESS
Businesses may be licensed to cover all areas of work.
For example, an installer may also be licensed to design
systems, or a pumper licensed to install. Each
Designated Registered Professional has been issued a
card that states what areas the business is licensed
under.
Since all ISTS businesses must be licensed by the state,
you can find out about them locally through the
telephone directory, advertisements or through referrals
from your neighbors. Ask the business if they are
licensed by the MN Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
and what types of licenses they have. If they are not
licensed in the area that you need work done in, try
someone else.
With a state license, businesses and professionals can
work anywhere within Minnesota, so you are not
limited to hiring someone from your immediate area.
TIPS ON HIRING •
The state license offers some consumer protection
through the bonding and liability insurance
requirements for businesses. In addition to assuring
that the business is licensed, there are several things
that you can do to protect yourself.
• Ask for references. When you get references,
contact them. Call your local unit of governntei
and ask if anyone has reported problems (like tl
number of system failures for an installer).
• Ask what experience they have doing the type
of work you need, especially if you have sonic
special considerations.
Work out a contractual agreement and get it
writing. Ask what exactly will the contractor d
for you. For example, if you need a new system
installed, does the contract include sodding,
seeding and landscaping?
Ask about guarantees and warrantees. No of
can guarantee a septic system will work for a
specific number of years. (System longevity
depends a great deal on how you use and mains.
it.) You can still ask questions such as what wi
the contractor do if you have system problems
within the next year or two. Depending on the
type of system installed, there may be warrantee
on pumps and other parts. Find out about this a
put it all into your written contractual agreemei
• Ask for a cost estimate. This should not be thk
only consideration You want someone that evil
do it right, not just the least expensive. Some
designers slightly overdesign a system for an
added safety factor. This may increase initial
installation cost, but result in lower long -term
costs or greater system longevity.

Dear Mr. Naustdal,
July 8, 1993
At the July 6, 1993, Hutchinson Planning Staff meeting we
discussed your June 9, 1993, letter concerning the positive fecal
coliform tests taken from the rear yard catch basin in
Schmidtbauers 4th Addition in Hutchinson MN.
The consensus was to request that you direct your concerns to
the appropriate Hassan Valley Township and McLeod County officials.
(see attachments)
City staff is of the opinion that the suspect source is an on-
site septic system. We believe the homeowners within city limits
are all served by municipal service, thereby being unlikely
10 candidates.
If you would like to discuss this matter further or have
further requests from the city, do not hesitate to call.
Best Regards,
Hutchinson Planning Staff
