(e) DISCUSSION OF BITUMINOUS SURFACING ON WALLER DRIVE REQUESTED BY
FLOYD HOEL
Mr. Floyd Hoel expressed concern that the Waller Drive surfacing proj-
ect was not going to be done in 1988. In 1986 he purchased property on
this street, and he was told by the City Engineer that the base work
would be done in 1986 and the hard surface road would be done in 1987.
There was an error in the construction of the street in 1986 and only
two foot of gravel, curb and gutter was done so it would not run down
onto Bluff Street. At this point the project work stopped, and nothing •
else was done. The property owners hired Jim Hanson to put in curb and
gutter. Mr. Hoel commented on the petition submitted April 4, 1988 and
questioned if there was a misunderstanding regarding the poor condition
of the street. He stated that the apartment units he manages cannot be
competitive with other units in the area when Waller Drive is not kept
up. Mr. Hoel requested that the blacktop project not be delayed. He
asked if a layer could be put on to eliminate the mud and dust.
Mayor Ackland stated the concern was digging up a paved street to put
in a storm sewer in the near future. Additional engineering fees would
be involved.
Engineer Anderson suggested putting on an initial layer of blacktop and
the final layer next year. The north third of Waller Drive would be
affected by the proposed storm sewer.
Mr. Mark Guggemos, 626 Waller Drive, commented that he built his house
in 1981, and he was the only one on the road who cared if there was a
permanent surface. He was told that in two or three years a road would
be put in, but the project always seems to be put on the back burner.
Mr. Sidney Grams, 56 Selchow Avenue, reported he owned the unit on the
north end. He asked if the City could put a dust coat on for a year to
control the dust. Xr. Grams inquired how close the street would come
to his property line. .

(k) CONSIDERATION OF LAND RATHER THAN FEES FOR PARK CONTRIBUTION ALONG
SCHOOL ROAD (REQUESTED BY MAYOR PAUL L. ACKLAND)
Mayor Ackland reported the Park Board wished to have a neighborhood
park in the area of School Road and California Street since there were
no parks between Glen and Connecticut Street. Also, no park contribu-
tion had been made for this parcel of property when it was platted.
Atty. John Lubitz was oppoed to the parkland contribution and felt it
should have been done at the time of development. He stated he had not
received Atty. Anderson's letter dated April 22, 1988 regarding this
issue; therefore, he was unaware the matter would be addressed. He
further pointed out there were no conditions placed on the zoning for
this land.
Atty. Anderson expressed some concerns about the timing of this re-
quest and stated that parkland dedication should be done at the time
of the subdivision. He thought it would be difficult at this point to
require a 10% land contribution, and there could be some legal ramifi-
cations for unconstitutional taking of park land. However, he was not •
in a position to give an opinion at this time. The former developer
did not follow through on his proposed F.U.D.
Following discussion, Alderman Torgerson moved to approve the project
to comply with the development next to R -i, including all park and
playground requirements which apply. Motion seconded by Alderman
Mlinar. The motion was amended by Alderman Mikulecky to take 10% of
the land on the west end of the property. Amended motion seconded by
Alderman Torgerson and unanimously carried. The main motion carried
unanimously.

Hodgins, Hutchinson Leader; La Mae Maiers, Recording Secretary
The meeting was called to order at 5:42 PM by President Mike Carls.
Minutes of Past Meetings. The minutes of the February 16, 1988, meetings
were presented. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Skeie, seconded by Gilmer, to approve the minutes
of both the McLeod County Commissioners' and the regular board of
directors' meeting of February 16, 1988, as presented.

request to purchase three (3) IBM PS -2 Model 30 Personal Computers
(PC's) for outpatient scheduling, rehab and the operating room for a
total cost of $9,790.
With the purchase of the computer, it would allow HCH to have an
automated, centralized scheduling area facilitating a smoother
process for patients needing services at the hospital. The system
would interface to the main hospital computer system and possibly to
the HMC system.
The system would permit the new Rehab secretary to perform word
processing for the Rehab Department, charting the progress and
assessment reports on Rehab patients and permit back-up to the new
outpatient scheduling process.
The word processing capabilities._would-.also be -used. for various ---
functions in the Operating Room, Anesthesia,infection Control and

Regular Board Meeting - 3/15/88
Page Two
(A) Following discussion:
Motion was made by Myers, seconded by Durfee, to approve the
procurement of three (3) IBM PS -2 Model 30 Personal Computers -
for Hutchinson Community Hospital. All were in favor. Motion
carried.
B. Depreciation Fund Designation. Seivert addressed the issue of
Medicare reimbursement as it effects the depreciation fund. He
proposed a resolution directing HCH to create a "paper transfer" of
$750,000 to the hospital's funded depreciation account. Because
Medicare is still reimbursing for capital costs on a pass through
basis, it benefits the hospital to shelter as much interest income as
is permitted. Medicare further permits deposits in the funded
depreciation account to be at the -accumulated --depreciation level
before the interest earnings have to be offset. These deposits must
remain in the funded depreciation account for at -least six months to
consider the transaction valid. The hospital -can also borrow working
capital from this account. Following discussion:
Motion was made by Durfee, seconded by Myers, to accept the
resolution that general operating funds in the amount of
$750,000 be invested in the Hospital's funded depreciation
account. All were in favor. Motion carried.
C. Section 125 Plan. Seivert presented for approval the necessary
documents in order to implement a "cafeteria benefits plan", allowing
employees to take advantage of pre-tax dollars under Section 125.
Following discussion:
Motion was made by Myers, seconded by Gilmer, to accept the
resolution establishing the Hutchinson Community Hospital
Flexible Benefit Plan, the Hutchinson Community Hospital
Healthcare, Reimbursement Plan, and the Hutchinson Community
Hospital Dependent Care Reimbursement Plan effective April 1,
1988. All were in favor. Motion carried.
Questions were posed to Graves and discussion held on the current
status of the following items:
1. LifeSpan. Graves stated that Lifespan representatives are still
meeting with the attorneys, but nothing has been finalized to
date; however, it is expected that--the-off-l.iation.agreemenS_wi.11
be completed in the near future.

2. The Acquisition of the Buffalo Lake 3 Oassel Clinics. Graves
stated that there are currently two options being considered
regarding the purchasing and management of these two clinics. The
first option would be to have the clinics operated with the
management assistance of LifeSpan thereby becoming LSI Clinics
(with LSI employing Dr. Dan Huebert and his employee at the
Buffalo Lake Clinic). LifeSpan would charge a management fee
based on the clinics' revenue. The second option would be to set
up a private, non-profit, taxable entity becoming a subcorporation
of the City of Hutchinson.
It is anticipated that the agreement with Buffalo Lake and Dr.
Huebert can be finalized by April 1, 1988. Also, discussions have
taken place with Dr. Joseph Houts for the purchase of the Dassel
Clinic. A three year proforma is currently -being- done - on -the ---
Dassel practice. Graves informed the Board that it may be
necessary to call an ad hoc committee meeting regarding the Dassel
Clinic within the next two weeks.
3. OB/GYN. Hegrenes informed the Board that an OB/GYN will be
joining the Medical Center staff by June 1, 1988. The doctor that
has been asked to join the staff at the Medical Center has been
highly recommended and is well respected in his field.
4. HMO/PPO Contract Negotiations. Graves requested authority to
negotiate and sign new HMO/PPO contracts. Graves stated that
until the Principles of Affiliation are signed with LifeSpan,

HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
DASSEL & BUFFALO LAKE CLINIC AD HOC COMMITTEE MEETING
March 29, 1988
Small Conference Room - 7:05 AM
Committee Members Present: Bob Durfee, Diane Gilmer, Rev. Thor Skeie
Others Present: Philip G. Graves, Administrator; Frank Seivert, Director
of Finance; Dr. Carl Bretzke and Dr. Chris Remucal,
Hutchinson Medical Center; Kathy Whatley, Management
Practice Specialist for Lifespan; La Mae Maiers,
Recording Secretary
The Ad Hoc Committee meeting war called to order -by Chairman Bob Ourfee at
7:05 AM to discuss the purchase of the Dassel Clinic from Dr. Joseph Houts
and to review the current status of the Buffalo Lake Clinic Purchase.
Dassel Clinic. Graves informed the Committee that Belcourt wishes to
practice at the Dassel Clinic effective July 1, 1988, independent of the
Hutchinson Medical Center, with plans to purchase the Dassel practice in
the future. However, he does have concerns as to how he will finance the
purchase and has approached the Hutchinson Hospital for assistance. Three
proposals were presented to the committee by Frank Seivert, Director of
Finance, using the following costs: Building - $60,000; Equipment -
$7,000; Practice (charts) - $20,000; remodeling the present building -
$25,000; additional new equipment - $25,000. The total projected cost
would be $127,000.
Whatley presented a Revenue Assumption she had done on the Dassel Clinic
with input based on information from Dr. Belcourt. He plans to have
office hours five days per week, seven hours per day, and seeing up to 35
patients per day within 24 months after taking over the practice. The
average revenue per patient would be approximately $34.00 (allowing for a
8% to 10% discount for third party payors); hospital/nursing home revenue
would be about 8% of the net charges. Operating expenses would include
salary of at least one fulltime employee, payroll taxes, medical and
office supplies, utilities, marketing, accounting and legal fees,
maintenance and cleaning, malpractice insurance and medical
association/related dues.
In the scenario that Whatley presented she stated that the first three to
six months are traditionally slow months due to the transition period that
the practice would be going through even though Belcourt would have Houts'
patient base and support.
Ad Hoc Committee Meeting - 3/29/88
Page Two
Some concerned was expressed by members of the committee as to why a young
physician wishes to go "solo" at this point considering the high costs of
operating independently, medical insurance, and especially lower revenue
per patient due to third party payors. Bretzke indicated that the
Hutchinson Medical Center is very supportive of Belcourt's decision and he
is an aggressive individual, determined to make it on his own. Graves
echoed the comments of Dr. Bretzke; Graves and the Doctors feel that he
would do an excellent job in this family practice.
Graves stated that he told Belcourt that if HCH were to assist him at this
time by buying the practice and the assets and he were to staff the clinic
as an employee of LSI with management assistance from them, he would have
to agree to purchase the practice within three years from HCH at its
appraised value, not to exceed $127,000. Belcourt indicated that he did
not foresee this as a problem. -- - -.-.. -
Another proposal discussed was the probability of Dr. Belcourt purchasing
the clinic now as a sole practitioner and managing the clinic himself with
HCH loaning him the funds necessary to purchase the assets at this time.
Graves informed the committee that he has avoided talking to Belcourt
further about the various proposals until he had received definite
direction from them.
Discussion was held regarding Belcourt's personal living expenses during
the first year(s) while he is establishing his practice. Graves informed
the committee that should Belcourt choose to become an employee of tSI
during the first three years prior to purchasing the clinic, he would be
salaried earning $50,000 the first year, $55,000 the second year and
$60,000 the third year. Or. Belcourt's wife also plans to work at the
clinic handling the bookkeeping and appointments and, therefore, she would
also be a LSI employee. Strategically, the Dassel Clinic is very
important to HCH and it would be to the benefit of the hospital to assist
Dr. Belcourt in his goal to purchase it at this time.
Bretzke informed the committee that he felt that hospital could do more to
assist Belcourt then just purchasing the assets and practice at this time
and then having Belcourt buy it in three years. He felt that this was -not -
enough in return for a physician who would be sending new patients to
Hutchinson when they are in need of hospitalization (Dr. Houts referred
his patients to Litchfield). Bretzke proposed that the hospital buy the
assets and lease it back to Belcourt to help him out. He felt that the
building would probably be worth about half of its current value in 20
years and he suggested that HCH lease the clinic back to Belcourt with a
20 year lease (1/20th of its value annually) and then in 20 years have -him
purchase it at half the current value; or lease it back to him on a 30
year lease and then the hospital would still own the building.
C�j
Ad Hoc Committee Meeting - 3/29/88
Page Three
Graves suggested that perhaps HCH could buy the building in five years and
finance it over a 15 year period. He feels that Houts would carry
Belcourt for the $20,000 for the practice as they have established a very
good rapport.
The main concern is the first three to six months while Belcourt is
establishing himself and patient income is low. Plans are to meet with
Belcourt on Thursday, March 31, to discuss the various proposals.
Discussion continued on ways in which to assist in the practice
acquisition. Remucal asked whether the community of Dassel would be able
to assist Belcourt in order to maintain a clinic in their town. Durfee
stated that we would have had to pay $20,000 to recruit a new doctor for
the clinic at Dassel. Since we already have a doctor who is willing to
practice there, could some compensation be offered to him -{possibly half --
of the recruitment fee) or could an offer of graduated rent payments be
made to him, especially in the first year.
It was the consensus of the group to acquire the Dassel practice and
assist Dr. Belcourt in this transitional phase.
Buffalo Lake Clinic. Graves informed the committee of an accounts
receivable management problem that has resulted by acquiring the Buffalo
Lake Clinic practice. Two sets of books would need to be maintained if we
did not buy Huebert's receivables.
Consensus of the group was to purchase the receivables at a discounted
rate and manage one bookkeeping system.

As you know, the City Council asked the City Attorney to prepare an
appropriate ordinance governing the issuance of licenses for the
sale of setups or for the operation of bottle clubs.
I discussed this matter with the Chief of Police and with Ron
Rirchoff, both of whom, as previously noted, were helpful in the
preparation of the ordinance, a copy of which is enclosed. Neither
has seen the draft before you, but it incorporates in general most
of the issues that we discussed.
A couple of comments are in order. First, the City's policy has
been to charge the sum of $150 for setup licenses when the City has
chosen to issue them. That fee is permissible if the license is
being issued on an annual basis. However, a review of state law and
additional legal research reveals that the maximum the City may
charge for a "bottle club" license, if the license is being issued
on a daily basis, is $25. The license may not be issued for a
period of longer than one day and hence, the ordinance now before
you provides for only a one day period.
Second, I have provided in the proposed ordinance language that
would allow the Chief to make the appropriate investigation and to
reject the application if he deems it inappropriate.
Mr. Gary D. Plotz
May 5, 1988
Page 2
Third, there is some question as to how to treat a violation of this
provision, particularly in a situation where a group or organization
might attempt to regularly provide setups and simply not bother to
come in to the Administrator's office and apply for the license. On
the other hand, it is difficult to invoke the criminal law and
at least the possibility of jail time, when in many cases it
might be difficult, if not impossible to distinguish between the
sale of a beverage for consumption as a beverage and the sale of a
beverage for the purpose of providing setups. I attempted to
address this problem by making it a violation of this ordinance to
sell a beverage for use as a setup, but the violation, will only be
a petty misdemeanor. The reason for the distinction is that a
petty misdemeanor, because it does not carry the possibility of jail
time, is not subject to many of the stringent constitutional
requirements that attach to other criminal ordinances and it may
give the department needed flexibility in enforcing this ordinance.
Although I have not made an exhaustive search, I am not aware of any
other community that has adopted a similar ordinance, but I believe
this to be a worthwhile effort.
I would appreciate any comment that anyone might have with respect
to the content of this ordinance.
Thank you. Best personal regards.
Very truly yours,
�RN04D & Mc OWELL

I was pleased to hear that the Hospital Board approved
the Affiliation Agreement and its attached exhibits. However,
I understand from my conversations with Dick and Barry that it
would be helpful to revise Exhibit C (the Ordinance) to clarify
in certain instances whether reference is being made to the
Hospital Board or the LifeSpan Board. I have made those
corrections as indicated by the enclosed blacklined copy of
Exhibit C.
Barry also pointed out to me the fact that in drafting
the amendment to Section 235:05 of the Ordinance, I omitted
reference to the right of the City Council to remove the
members of the Hospital Board. I have reinserted that
provision in the Ordinance as indicated by the enclosed
blacklined copy. This is in conformity with the Principles of

Council. However, I have not included the clause which
formerly would have allowed the City to remove a member of the
Hospital Board if he or she is no longer a resident of the City
of Hutchinson. Inasmuch as residency is not required for all
directors, this appears to me to be inappropriate.
Finally, I have revised page 12 of the Affiliation
Agreement to correct the reference from section 234 of the 1974
Ordinance Code to section 235 of the 1974 Ordinance Code.
Phil and Dick are receiving with this letter a
blacklined copy of Exhibit C (the Ordinance). I am supplying
Barry with a blacklined copy of Exhibit C, together with four
clean copies of the Agreement of Affiliation, including all of
the exhibits. Assuming that the City Council approves the -
transaction and the documents in the form presented, I would
appreciate it if Barry would see to it that each of the four
copies of the Affiliation Agreement (but not the attached
exhibits) are signed by the appropriate representatives of the
Hospital and the City and returned to me as soon as possible
following the City Council's meeting on Tuesday night. I need
to have the documents in hand and have them executed by the
appropriate Lifespan representatives in advance of the annual
meeting of the LifeSpan members late Thursday afternoon. I
will keep one executed copy and supply each of you with
another.
Thanks for your cooperation, and please contact me if
there are any questions or problems.

LIBRARY BOARD MEETING
TUESDAY, FEB.16, 1988
' The Library Board met at 5:00 pm in the library meeting room with the
following members present: Chairman, Ralph Bergstrom, Kathleen McGraw,
Dolores Brunner, Larry Ladd, Bill Scherer, Teri Eilertson, Roxanne Wigen,
Linda Wilmsen and Mary Henke. Absent: Albert Linde, Mike Carls (conflict
- Hospital Board meeting).
' Librarian, Mary Henke, gave a report on the Arts Festival (Sno-Break
Weekend / February 5 -6 -7th): The display boards made by Bill Scherer at
a cost )f $211.00 (Expenditure was not to exceed $250.00) worked well with
all the artwork fitting easily on the boards, rather than scattered all over
the Library. The Art Guild and Library co -hosted the Art Show with shared
2 -hour work shifts by members. I Mary -commented that approximately 200
visited the show on Saturday, with approximately 65-70 people on Sunday.
Comments and suggestions were then made by board members. Linda Wiilmsen
suggested that the Library continue in the effort to improve and expand
with more displays next year. It was also suggested that advertising be
pursued more next year through the Leader ("Reader") and Shopper, KDUZ, Chamber,
Cable TV, and the schools. Mary thanked,all board members for their help.
' Linda Willmsen and Mary Henke informed board members of the availability
and application deadline for a grant through the Southwest Arts and Human-
ities Council which could help purchase displays and help fund publicity
costs. Linda and Mary will be meeting with Mary Beth Rupp regarding the
grant next week. They will follow up with the application and meet the
deadline.
' Ralph Bergstrom informed the board that the present 3 -year term of office
of Library Board members is the only city board without the new S -year term
of office. In order to keep uniformity among all boards, the motion was
made by Roxanne Wigen and seconded by Dolores Brunner to extend the Library
Board term of office to the S -rear term (Members are limited to two con -
new rule Mio vears).
of office of Albert Linde (board member since 1962) anT Kathlsen McGraw (1973)
will end in April of this year with their replacements filling the new S -year

BY......._..__........ 8;7
I have received a request for a written opinion on the issue of
whether or not a railroad may be assessed for improvements and
whether or not property north of Highway 7 may be assessed for storm
sewer.
As to the railroad issue, it is clear from reviewing Chapter 429 of
Minnesota Statutes that railroad property may be assessed for any
benefit received by the property. The enforcement of the assessment
mechanism is a little different with railroad property than with
other types of property. The assessment is still a tax and still
has the priority that goes with tax enforcement; as a general rule,
the law prefers that railroad assessments be collected against per-
sonal property, rolling stock and other nonfixed assets. The reason
for this is that railroad property is generally sold as a unit and
there is a preference in the eyes of the law to keeping the railroad
together as a public utility as opposed to parceling it off by piece
in an effort to collect tax revenue.
To the extent the inquiry concerns whether or not an assessment
against a railroad is definitely collectible, I cannot adequately
respond to that question. The current bankruptcy proceeding with
respect to Dakota Rail, Inc. is unique in Minnesota history and I
have not been able to find any instances in Minnesota law, going all
Mr. Gary D. Plotz
April 29, 1988
Page 2
the way back to land grant railroads in the early days of Minnesota
statehood, in which the question of assessment collection was raised
with respect to any railroads. My educated guess is that an
assessment would be collectible, but given the length of time over
which it will be paid and the uncertain future of the existing rail
company, any prediction is questionable.
On the subject of the storm sewer improvements, I believe it is time
for the City of Hutchinson to consider creating a storm sewer
district pursuant to Chapter 444 of Minnesota Statutes, to include
within the district the entire City of Hutchinson, and to levy taxes
pursuant to the storm sewer district enabling statute across the
whole community. I say this because the improvement at issue in the
instant controversy is a classic example of the problem created by
attempting to pay for storm sewer improvements by using special
assessments.
At least to a limited extent, property north of Highway 7 contribu-
tes to storm sewer run off problems in other parts of the community.
However, that is not an acceptable reason to assess property north
of Highway 7 for the expense of installing the storm sewer. The
statute in case law is crystal clear that storm sewer assessments,
like any other assessment, must be measured by the benefit to the
property as a result of the improvement and that benefit is deter-
mined, ultimately, by the increased market value of the property
before and after the improvement.
The fact is, at least according to the information I have been able
to glean from the City Engineer, property north of Highway 7 has
never had a problem of disposing of its run off, and will not have a
problem regardless of whether or not the Third Avenue improvements
are constructed. Note that there is a tremendous height difference,
or "fall" to use engineering terms, between the property immediately
north of Highway 7 and immediately south of Highway 7. My comments
are generally restricted to this extreme example. In situations
where "the fall" is more reasonable, a benefit argument can be made
much more persuasively.
In short, I think it is unlikely that the City will prevail in an
effort to assess the costs of the storm sewer improvement under
current law to the property north of Highway 7. Please note this is
is
Mr. Gary D. Plotz
April 29, 1988
Page 3
a separate question from whether or not assessing the property
owners north of Highway 7 is fair and equitable and whether or not
the City should go ahead and assess those properties anyway on the
theory that they do contribute to the problem and in some measure
they ought to bear part of the burden of constructing the improve-
ment. It is possible that some theory could be constructed to sup-
port a benefit argument and while I am not optimistic about its
chances, it certainly would seem to me to be worthwhile to hold the
improvement hearing and see who, if anyone, objects to the
assessment.
I believe all concerned share -the -frustration -that storm sewer
assessments create and it may be time to look at a different
approach. Before the City Council adopts a specific plan, I believe
Ren Merrill, Eugene Anderson, Gary Plotz and myself will need to
consider the appropriateness of the use of a storm sewer district.
In that regard, I am enclosing a copy of my correspondence to Stan
Peskar which will hopefully produce some information that will be of
assistance in this regard.
Thank you. Best personal regards.
Very truly yours,

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
It appears that the City of Hutchinson is going to be engaged in
another round of disputes regarding storm sewer assessments. We are
finding it increasingly difficult to prove benefit to an affected
property owner, particularly in situations where there is an extreme
height difference between adjoining parcels (the dominant parcel
having no difficulty getting rid of its water into the servient par-
cel under any circumstances and therefore receiving no benefit from
any storm sewer).
It appears that perhaps it is time to discuss the possibility of
creating a storm sewer district which would eliminate these dispu-
tes.
My research has revealed that the City of Hutchinson could probably
adopt a single district encompassing the entire City. However, I am
wondering if you are familiar with other communities of approxima-
tely the size of Hutchinson which have set up storm sewer districts
and I would be particularly interested in what problems or conflicts
they have had with regard to those districts. Obviously, we would
also be interested in whatever paperwork went with the establishment
of those particular districts. -
If the City does elect to create such a district, I think all con-
cerned would like to have it in-place for the 1989 construction
season.

SUBJECT: — Assisting jijomenwnexs nt ong Tbird_Aveuue. an -1988_ Improvements
The improvements along Third Avenue under consideration include storm sewer,
curb, street surfacing and replacement of water line(s) to the property line.
0 PRESENT METHOD OF DETERMINING COSTS
Currently the project cost(s) were determined on the basis of commercial
zoning; IC -I zoning. This means that some residential homes would be
assessed at a commercial street rate.
ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO FINANCE
After discussing the situation with Gene, Ken and Barry, we have the follow-
ing alternatives or combination thereof:
A. Assess residential home at only a residential street rate.
B. Assess as originally proposed - commercial rate.
C. Reduce the assessment to any dollar amount deemed acceptable
to the City Council.
D. Do not assess residential property whatsoever; only assess
commercial property(s).
If the City was not to assess the residential parcels (option D), the City
would have the following choices:
1. Use more state aid dollars on this project by having aid
dollars pay part or all of the residential areas.
2. Use City-wide
ad valorem
property tax dollars to assist in
defraying the
residential
expense.
Lastly, if there remains a portion assessable to the residential property
owners, those owners could apply under state statute for a "deferred assess-
ment - senior citizens" status. However, the owner must be 65 years or more
and come within the attached asset and income limit, unless revised.

DATE: March 4,1988
SUBJECT: Park Dedication
The following recommendations are for your consideration in
revising the policy on park dedication. We realize that the
complete ordinance needs to be rewritten, and feel several
points need to be considered to include:
a
1. The park dedication should be based on the
a
? following formula which allows for different
types of housing and densities
Single Family - $250/unit or
10% of the undeveloped site
(or its fair market value)
whichever is greater.
Duplex - $200/unit or -
16% of the undeveloped site
(or its fair market value)
whichever is greater.
Multi -Family - $150/unit or
20% of the undeveloped site
(or its fair market value)
whichever is greater.
2. The cash dedication fee should be paid at the time
the building permit is issued.
3. The cash dedication fee for commercial/industrial
1 land use should be 5% of the fair market value of
the undeveloped property.
4. The determination whether land or the cash equivalent
is accepted is the option of the City Council:
5. The cash values used should be'reviewed by the
Parks and Recreation Board each year.

RE: Administrative Responsibilities _-for _Collection of Park Land
Contribution Fee
Please keep in mind the administrative responsibilities while finalizing
your decision regarding the Park Land Contribution subject. At present,
both engineering and building are overloaded with workload and would
appreciate your cooperation in simplifying administrative duties for
efficiency.
We feel the following suggested procedures are the most practical:
All fees are to be collected at the time of platting as part of the
sub -division agreement according to the following densities:
1) R-1 and R-2 Single Family $ or _% of Land Value
2) R-3 Multi -family
Full Density - 2200 )S D.V. $ or _8 of Land Value
3) Commercial 6 Industrial $ or 8 of Land Value
To collect the fees at the time of issuance of the Building Permit would
be an administrative nightmare for the following reasons:
1) How do new homes in existing developments contribute?
2) How does major remodeling affect contribution and what constitutes
major remodeling?
3) Whose responsibility is it to remember which plats are under the
old schedule versus the new?
9) How are lot splits handled?
5) How are incorporated lots handled (two become one)?

Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Mr. Plotz:
n�.
Regarding the proposed amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance #466
and the hearing on April 19, 1988,l would like to respond in writing
because I will be unable to attend the meeting on April 19, 1988.
I have no objection to the increased fees as long as the money is
set aside in a special fund for playgrounds and not co -mingled in the general
fund.
The suggestion I have is the same message I have been preaching for
20 years and that is not to eliminate the neighborhood playgrounds by taking
cash in lieu of land from the developer.
Example: There are no playgrounds north of Highway 7 and
east of Connecticut until you get to Glen Street North. There
must be 1,000 kids in that area and no playground.
We have an over -abundance of parks in Hutchinson but a real shortage
of neighborhood playgrounds and skating rinks.
I think the Park Board should monitor the Planning Commission and
make sure they don't allow large developmetns to be platted without
making provisions for playgrounds.
Please read this at the April 19 hearing.- Thank you.
Sincerely,
John E. Miller

RE: Collection of Park Contribution Fees
During consideration of a revised Park Contribution Fee Schedule, it is requested
that the Council also consider the attached memorandum that discusses problems
associated with collecting the fees at the time a building permit application is
made. Such a policy would be time consuming to implement and enforce on a
day-to-day basis. Furthermore, a policy of collecting fees at the time of the
permit would be subject to error. On the other hand, collecting the fee at the
time of signing the Final Plat minimizes errors and potential misunderstandings
at later stages of development.

FROM: Director of Engineering
RE: Golf Course Entrance Road
Pursuant to instructions by the -Council at its March 22nd meeting, we have
reviewed the surfacing improvements of the roadway, as requested by the Country
Club, as to financial feasibility and presedence. The property owner has asked
the City to contract for the project and to levy assessments to the property to
defray the cost.
Bond advisors have indicated that funds from a bond issue could be used to pay
for the improvement cost, provided that the property owner grants and easement
10City's
provides a waiver of tresspass or similar document which would allow the
City's contractor to legally enter upon the property to perform the work.
Another prerequisite to using bond fundsisthat the Council determines that
the project is in the public interest and purpose, such as by facilitating
access for police, ambulance, and fire protection. A resolution to that effect
is included herewith for the Council's consideration.
Bids were received for the project on April 29th. It should be recognized that,
since the quantities included in the bid were rough estimates made without
obtaining on-site conditions, assessments for the project should be levied after
the work is completed, or is substantially complete, so that the final cost is
either known or can be closely estimated. To do otherwise would undoubtedly
result in some City cost. The property owner could be required to sign a waiver
of appeal of the assessment if assessments are indeed levied following completion
of the work.
As for the concern about precedence, staff cannot recall, and no documentation
can be found, where a previous situation similar to the golf course entrance
road, was improved through a City project and the cost assessed to the property
owner.
Direction of the Council in this regard is requested.

Re: Request for Anti Pornography O inance
Dear Gary:
On March 24, 1988, Reba Radtke, a resident of the City of
Hutchinson, addressed to Marlin Torgerson a request for an anti
pornography ordinance. Councilman Torgerson properly referred
the request to my attention for study and appropriate response,
since ultimately this office would be responsible for enforcing
any such ordinance.
It is my recommendation at this time that the City of Hutchinson
draft no such ordinance, but not because the City wishes to
encourage pornographic literature.
There are several reasons why it is not appropriate at this time
for the City to draft such an ordinance. First, the request is a
result of legitimate concern over the cablecasting powers of a
television cable franchisee. However, by federal statute, muni-
cipal authority in this area has largely been preempted. With
severely limited exceptions, municipalities have few statutory
and constitutional rights that do not derive from either state
government or the federal government. As such, when Congress
chooses to exercise its legitimate right to regulate this area,
it is questionable that a community can step in and enact such
regulation.
Second, I have significant First Amendment concerns as to whether
or not the City of Hutchinson can draft such an ordinance and --

make it stick. Some of these First Amendment concerns relate to
the point I just mentioned with regard to the authority of the
federal government, but also with regard to the broader question
of whether or not the City at this point has the desire to spend
the time and money necessary to prepare such an ordinance. As
you are no doubt aware, almost upon enactment, ordinances which
seek to restrict the dissemination of information and beliefs are
challenged by a variety of groups. It is frankly almost a knee
jerk reaction, but the fact that such a reaction is likely to
occur provides ample reason for the City to be very careful in
drafting such legislation. I would be hesitant to put together
appropriate language without spending many weeks and perhaps
months studying other ordinances and spending a great deal of
time attempting to insulate any -municipal ordinance from -consti-
tutional attack. In view of the absence of any current problem,
I'm not certain this is a wise use of municipal resources.
Third, I might point out that under the Retainer Agreement bet-
ween this office and the City of Hutchinson, all appellant work
is properly excluded and thus any defense of the ordinance would
be an unbudgeted item that the City would have to cover. Since I
don't know what the issues would be at this time, I cannot pro-
ject the extent of the charges, but my prior experience indicates
that litigation over constitutional issues is not cheap.
Finally, the northern metropolitan suburbs, all part of one cable
group, recently retained an attorney -for the -purpose --o€ - investi--
gating whether or not they had the authority to enact such regu-
lation and the final conclusion was that it was 'uncertain," and
probably not worth the effort. At this point, I concur in that
assessment.
I recognize these are sensitive concerns and I have not reached
the opinion outlined here lightly. on balance, I believe the
City of Hutchinson need not and should not enact an anti por-
nography ordinance for the regulation of the content of
programming allowed over local cable channels.
I hope I have adequately addressed the issues raised by this
request. If you have any questions with regard to this matter,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
very truly yours,
ARNOL c LL

RE: Calcium Chloride Treatment on Les Kouba Parkway
Hutchinson, MN
Dear Mr. Ide:
i
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
In accordance with the recent advertisement in the local newspaper and
conversations with County Highway Engineering Department Staff, the City of
Hutchinson requests that the County furnish and apply calcium chloride on
Les Kouba Parkway from approximately James Street to the Frontage Road along
Hwy. 7. The roadway is located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 31,
Township 117 North, Range 29 West, and in the Southeast Quarter of Section 36,
Township 117 North, Range 30 West. Its length is 5,280 feet, and at the
quoted price of $35 per 100 feet, the cost would be $1,848.00. A check in
that amount is encloded herewith.
It is my understanding that the chloride will be applied twenty feet in width,
and that there will be two applications, one about Memorial Day and on about
Labor Day. The roadway has a history of soil instability and this spring has
been no exception. Therefore, at least a week before the work is to be done,
Mr. Doug Meier, City Maintenance Operations Supervisor (612-587-5151, Extension
218), should be contacted to determine the feasibility of the first application.
Likewise, if there are any questions or if additional information is needed
regarding this project, please call Mr. Meier.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Marka:
RE: Request to Add One Septic System
I am responding to your letter dated April 12, 1988, requesting information
on the situation with Mr. James Reid's septic system. When the City of
Hutchinson accepted a federal/state grant to construct a new wastewater
treatment facility, one of the requirements was the City needed to pass a
local ordinance to prohibit the installation of septic systems within the
Zityrs sewer service area. Once the ordinance is passed, the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency's position is any single home variance to the
ordinance is a local issue between the City and homeowner.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me at (612) 296-7204.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I would like to acknowledge receipt of your transportation
resolution which was dated March 22, 1988. I have followed
through with the recommendations you make in the resolution.
I did vote for the highway funding package which was put
together by the Transportion Finance Study Commission. The
proposal calls for a 3 -cent increase in the gas tax and a 30
percent transfer of the motor vehicle excise tax to the
highway fund.
The chief author of this legislation was Rep. Henry Kalis
(DFL), Walters, Minnesota. I am enclosing for your review a
copy of his letter to me following the vote on this very
important bill. His letter outlined some of the highway
projects that will be funded in the Hutchinson area because
of my support for this legislation.
Again, I want to thank you for communicating with me on this
important issue. It is helpful for me to hear from people
such as you who are directly involved in some of these
important issues.
In the future, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Central Prairie Railway Members
Chairman Sheldon Nies called the meeting to order at 11:40 a.m. at Peter's
Restaurant, Hutchinson. Members of the Central Prairie Railway Association
were also present to receive information.
The minutes of the December 299 1987, meeting were read and approved on a
motion by Anchor Nelsen, seconded by Les Forman, carried unanimously.
Chairman Nies called for a status report from Attorney Ron McGraw. Mr.
McGraw, who represents Dakota Rail, reviewed the Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings. Attorneys are negotiating with Burlington Northern for a
purchase price settlement. The State of MN has been working with Dakota Rail
and would put up acquisition funds (approx. $1 million). Shippers would also
contribute $400,000 to reimburse Dakota Rail for rehab improvements. The
State would require transfer of fee title to the Rail Authority, from whom fee
title would then pass to Dakota Rail. Some selected right of way properties
will be sold to pay bills, remainder will be required to remain with rail
property. Land values of rail property far exceed debts. Today Dakota Rail
seeks direction from the Rail Authority regarding the fee ownership question.
It was discussed that the State will not require a payback of acquisition
funds unless there is a default in payment by Dakota Rail. Shippers'
contribution (400,000) would be in the form of a short term (3 to 9 months)
non-interest bearing loan secured by specifically named non -right of way
properties. The State would secure its interest with assets only and there
would be no liability on the Rail Authority.
There was discussion of the need for the Rail Authority to have funds
available to pay for an attorney who would review documents for the Rail
Authority and to pay other costs incurred. Shippers would be a source of
funds.
Anchor Nelsen reported that he has obtained letters of support from Harley
Staggers (retired) and other elected representatives in -the -effort to keep --
Dakota Rail in operation.
Officers of the Rail Authority were re-elected for another term on a motion by
Les Forman, seconded by Larry Graf, carried unanimously.
Ron McGraw presented a Resolution to accomplish tranfer of ownership of Dakota
Rail (attached). Resolution was approved on a motion by Les Forman, seconded
by Larry Graf, approved unanimously.

Dear Gary:
I am writing to you regardin4y Vergnl Florhaug's letter of April 2U, 19818.
As you know, he forwarded to you, as well`as this office, a copy of a
letter dated April 18, 1988 from David Koziel, a bond claims represen-
tative with Transamerica Insurance Group.; The principal issue raised by
Koziel is payments dueunder the existing electricalicontract with
McNerney Industries. ` !
ti
Much as the,City mightwish to avoid making any addiconal payments in
view of the cost overruns, from my brief review of tte facts, it appears
that the bonding company stepped into the shoes of McNerney Industries in
completing McNerney's responsibilities under the contract and thus, the
City, as the owner of the project, would be responsible for payment of
the balance of the contract to the bonding company, subject to certain
minor exceptions. The City would be entitled to any offset for addi-
tional expense incurred as a result of the failure of McNerney torperform
as specified to the extent those amounts have not previously been paid by
the bond holder, and the City should make certain that any negotiations
with Transamerica to pay the remaining balance that the City is ade-
quately protected by appropriate warranties and guarantees that work on.
the project was properly performed. This is frequently a negotiating
point between the bonding company and the owner of the project and as
such, usually there is an agreement that a certain number of hours would
be creditedto the City for such warranty or guarantee work and the
Mr. Gary D. Plotz
April 25, 1988
Page 2
is
payment reduced accordingly. In exchange, the City would release the
bonding company from any further liability. In view of all the problems
with this project, not all of which are over if I am to judge correctly
from my mail, the City might be better off in making the payment due
under the contract and making it clear to the bonding company that they,
as well as the substitute contractor, are responsible for nonperformance
or misperformance.
I haven't finalized my position on this issue yet, but since the buildin•_
is now occupied and a final punch list has been circulated, it might be
appropriate to go through the history of this entire transaction from
beginning to end with an eye toward our next step.
I have in mind that perhaps around the middle of the first week in May
you and I.could discuss this matter at great length. Please let me know
your position on these matters.
Thank you. Best personal regards.

Dear Mr. Koziel:
is Your letter of April 18, 1988 has wound through the pipeline and landed
on my desk.
It is my jAnderstanding that a final punch list is now being cirbulated to'
the varin�,s_parties involved in the construction of 'the HutChinbon Police`
Station and that the items noted on that punch list are in thelprocess of
correction.
At your convenience, I would appreciate knowing the remaining balance
that you feel is owed to Transamerica at this time assuming that all of
your responsibilities have been completed. Further, it is my
understanding that upon completion of the duties of the substitute
contractor, the City has the benefit of a warranty or guarantee as to the
work performed. If I am not correct in my assumption on that point, you
should immediately notify me.
Thank you for your kind attention to these details. Best personal
regards.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Ward:
• I have reviewed your latest missive in connection with the above
referenced dispute and find, despite the extensive polemic contained in
same, a noticeable lack of assistance in resolving the problem.
The only communication I.hav,lbad,lfrom your office is regarding the facts
of the Assembly of God claim,are as -outlined in your December 18, 1987
letter. That letter was devoted almost exclusively to the unique
problems experienced by your client William Holmquist in connection with
the deferred assessment. Further, your most recent correspondence on
this matter seems to indicate that John Miller has some sort of a claim
against the City and I have no facts in my possession which would indi-
cate the nature of his claim.
In any event, there appears to be a continuing misunderstanding about the
nature of deferred assessments and improvements installed on property for
the benefit of not only the current property owner, but future property
owners. You make reference in your letter that property owners and
prospective property owners do not operate in a vacuum and need a defini-
tive answer to questions concerning deferred assessments. No such defi-
nitive answer is possible. Deferred assessments are activated at the
discretion of the City Council. Typically, deferred assessments will be
Mr. Steve Ward
April 25, 1988 is
Page 2
activated at the time a developer seeks to subdivide the property or
install other improvements, but that time frame is chosen merely because
it is more convenient to all concerned; the City could just as easily
chose to activate the deferred assessment at the time the property comes
into the City, assuming the original reason for deferral was that the
property was outside the City limits at the time of installation.
Alternatively, the City may choose to charge a connection fee in lieu of
the deferred assessment.
If you clients believe that the elimination of the deferred assessment
will now and forever remove any possibility they will pay for improve-
ments that will benefit them, they are suffering under a misconception of
facts. The City may very well elect to recover the costs by using one of
the methods I have described above even if ultimately the City chooses
not to attempt to collect on the deferred assessment.
In response to the other allegations of your letter, specifically that I
promised some sort of an answer on the Assembly of God problem within 30
days, I must regrettfully disagree with that statement because my
recollection of our conversation is at least somewhat different. Our
discussions were directed solely to the problem that your client, Mr.
Holmquist, had with respect to the deferred assessment. After much
discussion, an agreement was reached that the City would not enforce the
specifir:,deferred assessment disclosed in the subdivision agreement pre-
pared-fW the signature of all parties. I recall no discussion on the
AssemblyFof God problem except your statement that you felt the Assembly
of God was also entitled to similar treatment which the City vigorously
disputes. Nonetheless, I do recall that I extended a promise to you to
study the problem and to bring the matter to the attention of the Council
for appropriate treatment. I don't rule out the possibility that 30 days
got mentioned somewhere along the way, but I at no time made any commit-
ments, and in fact I cannot make any commitments, as to the date by which
the Council will take action of some sort.
In that regards, your correspondence of December 18, alleges that three
separate searches were conducted in 1983 at the request of your office,
John Miller or the Assembly of God. The City has record of only one such
search. I,would appreciate receiving copies of any documents that you
may have in your possession which substantiate your claim that multiple
searches were conducted, and I would also appreciate receiving a copy of
the deed by which the Assembly of God took title to the property.

Believe it or not, I am not intending to be unhelpful and I understand
your need to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If you will pro-
vide me with the information requested, I will make the appropriate
recommendation to the City Council and hopefully this dispute can be
settled in a timely and cooperative matter.
Rest personal regards.
Very truly yours,

As you may recall, both of the above -referenced files involve claims
against the City of Hutchinson in which there was an initial denial of
coverage by LMCIT.
Arriving under separate cover is a letter dated May 3, 1988 from Doug
Gronli reaffirming the denial of coverage with respect to the Reese
matter. As noted in previous correspondence, we have interposed an
Answer and begun discovery on this litigation. No further comment is
necessary at this time.
The question with respect to the Sturges litigation is less clear. I
have been promised a response by GA2 nusiness Services, Inc. this week
and as soon as I hear something further, I will let you know.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Anderson:
GAB FILE NO.: 56527-11308
TRUST MEMBER: CITY OF HUTCHINSON
CLAIMANT: CRAIG AND PEGGY REESE
YOUR_FILE_NO___3244_87_Q01Q-------------
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I have your correspondence of January 27, 1988, as weLL
as your most recent of April 27, 1988, and I thank you.
As you have requested, I have reviewed the Summons and
Complaint and applied the LMCIT's coverage document. I
have also reviewed this matter with the appropriate
officials within the LMCIT. At this time we see nothing
that will change our position of denial of coverage.
That disclaimer does remain in effect.
In general, we believe that this is a condemnation claim
and is specifically excluded as was previously stated in
our Letter to the city of Hutchinson on November 25, 1987.
For your information the LMCIT, through its Board of
Directors, has approved the offering of a non -automatic
broadening form of Language for zoning issues which give
rise to claim or Litigation. Specifically, they have
extended their coverage in zoning related suits and also
clarified the policy coverage Language to provide a
consistent defense posture for member cities. The coverage
should be and is Limited to regulatory takings. Once again,
this is not automatic but it is something that effective
April 27, 1988 was approved by the LMCIT Board and you
should possibly pass that information along to your city
officials and they could contact the appropriate parties
at North Star Risk Services, Inc.

Once again we thank you for your inquiries and we
respectfully submit to you and the city representatives
that we wiCC not be able to afford them a defense nor
indemnification with respect to the Reese versus Hutchinson
case.
Sincerely,
