Dear Council Members:
I would like to submit a request on behalf of the Hutchinson ISD 423,
to consider the location of a city street light at the entrance of the
Hutchinson A.Y.T.I. (200 Century Avenue) and the Hutchinson Community
Hospital. There are several exits from both facilities, located in the
same general area. Not only is this a highly traveled area, but emergency
vehicles exit and enter at this location.
If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact me .
at 587-2860.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Hutchinson, MN 55350
January 16,1987
Hutchinson City Council
City Hall
37 Washington Street West
Hutchinson, NIh 55350
Dear Mayor and City Council ?Members:
During January 1985, we purchased our first home. llithin the
past two years we have made significant improvements with our lot,
including landscaping, a two -car garage, and a deck. We have pur-
chased necessary permits for all work done and have followed all
building codes.
We are happy with the results of our hard work, but feel our
neighbors' lot is diminishing our efforts. The property in
question is 647 Oak Street. Is there anything you as a council
can do to help us clean up the following "neighbor" problem?
Beca,zse of our narrow lot the house was built lengthwise
• into the lot. The living room is on the southwest corner of the
house. Thru the west picture window of the living room lies the
alley and the neighbor's garage along with its' pile of junk.
There is also junk piled along the south side of the neighbor's
garage. The junk pile contains many old television sets, old
tires, broken bicycles, odd car parts, and unrecognizable scrap
parts. The pile is approximately five feet high by ten to fifteen
feet in diameter. The neighbors. also keep their household trash
next to the junk pile and not all of it ends up in the trash cans.
We believe the pile to be a hazard to the neighbor as well as
ourselves. Specific concerns are as follows:
1. the old television sets
If a picture tube is broken are there harmful chemicals
inside, such as mercury or other harmful chemicals?
If the television sets are older models, could there
be F.C.B. capacitors that would crack because of heat
or cold and leak?
2. the tires
The tires are a fire hazard and breeding ground for
moscuitoes in the summer as they fill with water from
rain.
3. The pile surrounds a home-made smoke house (a converted
• refridgerator).
We are concerned about a possible fire starting from
the smoke house that would ignite the television sets
and in turn start the garage on fire. A fire of this
size could damage the trees along our west lot line
and threaten our home.
Beyond the pile of junk are the cars, trucks, and boats to •
which you can see at least four to six vehicles parked on the yard
and city street at any time. One old truck has not had license
tabs on it since the late 1970's and it has been parked on the
street. We believe there is a city ordinance regarding parking
on the street through the night during winter. Certainly the police
must drive past at sometime, but there has never been a ticket is-
sued and the vehicles are.still parked there.
Because of the number of cars parked along College Avenue to
the west side of the alley entrance and because they are parked so
close to the entrance, it is impossible to see oncoming traffic
from the west when attempting to drive onto College Avenue. This
is extremely dangerous for the vehicle drivers. There also are
small children in the neighborhood who could easily run into the
street and the driver would not see them fast enough to stop safely.
The neighbor has a semi -truck from his business which he drives
down the alley loaded with old cars. We do not believe the alley
is constructed for such a heavy vehicle. There is a storm sewer
pipe that runs underneath the alley and could be broken from the
weight.
The entrance to the alley is blocked to our use many times
day or night because the neighbors and their friends use it as a •
parking lot. This is frustrating and inconvenient when we want
to enter our own garage.
Lastly; the alley is blackened from used motor oil because
cars have been worked on in the alley. This oil will eventually
soak thru the soil to the water table.
In summary, we pay our taxes. We have improved the value of
our home during the two years we've been living here. We have
helped the local economy of Hutchinson by hiring local contractors
to do the work, which brings money to the city. Improving the
value of our home helps city growth by attracting other people
to the city. We are quiet neighbors. We believe in individual
rights, but believe the neighbors are beginning to interfere with
our rights and happiness.
Thank you for your time. We hope something can be done to
correct this situation with your help.
Sincerely,
4

Re: Pay Classification of Civil Service
Our File No. 3188-87-0001
Dear Gary:
f� o`se�9s-V�2��
Employees/
During the course of the City Council meeting on Tuesday, January
13, 1987, a question was raised regarding the authority of the
City Council to set pay and pay classifications for police depart-
ment employees who are covered by Civil Service Regulations. The
question was referred to this office for further consideration.
Reference to two sources must be made to appropriately answer the
inquiry. The City of Hutchinson maintains certain Police Civil
Service Commission Rules and Regulations which were last updated
in August, 1985. Section 17 of those Rules and Regulations sets
out the following: "Compensation for any employee in the Department
shall be in accordance with the provisions of the pay classification
plan established by the City Council. The Commission may discuss
wages, hours and benefits with the Department employees and may
submit a written statement to them and the City Council." However,
an answer to your question cannot rest solely with the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission since it is ultimately Chapter 419
of Minnesota Statutes which will control the rights and respon-
sibilities of Police Civil Service Commissions.
That statute sets out certain specific duties delegated to the
Commission in 9419.05. In part, that statute provides "the Commission
shall have the absolute control and supervision over the employment,
promotion, discharge and suspension of all officers and employees
of the Police Department of such City and these powers shall extend
to and include all members of the Police Department..." Not specifically
enumerated among the responsibilities of the Commission is the duty
to establish compensation levels. In fact, the Attorney General has
Mr. Gary D. Plotz •
January 19, 1987
Page #2
issued an opinion which specifically notes that the fixing of
compensation is within the general power of the Village Council.
Opp. Atty. Gen. 469-B, May 4, 1951.
Since the statute does not affirmatively mandate the handling of
compensation matters by the Police Commission and since the Police
Commission Rules and Regulations specify that such decisions should
be made by the City Council, the City Council would have the authority
and responsibility to determine compensation levels for department
members.
I trust this is the information you require.
do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you. Best personal regards.
Very truly.youurs,

Pursuant to Section 6.05, C5, of Zoning Ordinance No. 464, the Hutchinson
Planning Commission is hereby submitting its findings of fact and recom-
mendation with respect to the aforementioned request for a conditional use
permit.
M. i"
On December 31, 1986, Dick Goebel submitted an application for a conditional
use permit to allow Goebel Fixture Company to use for warehousing and light
assembly/manufacturing work (woodworking) on property located at 1130 Hwy 7 W.
A public hearing was held at the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on
Tuesday, January 20, 1987, at which time there was no one present who
objected to the request.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The required application was submitted and the appropriate fee
paid.
2. Notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners as well as
published in the Hutchinson Leader on January 8, 1987 .
3. The proposal is in conformance with the requirements of a conditional
use permit.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the aforementioned
request for a conditional use permit be granted subject to staff
recommendation that a fire alarm warning bell be placed outside the building
and a 2" main drain test pipe be extended outside of the building to provide
testing of the sprinkler system.
Respectfully submitted,
Roland Ebent, Chairman

RESOLUTION NO. 8457
RESOLUTION GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT UNDER •
SECTION 8.08 OF ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 464 TO
ALLOW GOEBEL FIXTURE COMPANY TO USE FOR WAREHOUSING AND LIGHT
ASSEMBLY/MANUFACTURING WORK ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1130 HWY. 7 W.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA:
FINDINGS
1. Mr. Dick Goebel, has made application to the City Council for a
Conditional Use Permit under Section 8.08 of Zoning Ordinance No. 464 to
allow Goebel Fixture Company to use for warehousing and light assembly/manu-
facturing work (woodworking) located on property at 1130 Hwy 7 W.,with the
following legal description:
East 1/2 of Lot 9, and Lot 10 in Block 1 of Rol l ing Oaks (E 55' of Lot 9
and all of Lot 10) - City of Hutchinson
2. The City Council has considered the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the health, safety, and
welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated •
traffic conditions, and the effect on values of properties in the surrounding
area and the effect of the use on the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Council has determined that the proposed use will not be detri-
mental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the community nor will it
cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously depreciate
surrounding property values, and the proposed use is in harmony with the gener-
al purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.

FROM: Hutchinson Solid Waste Mana ement Committee
SUBJECT: Leaf Composting Protect _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Solid Waste Management Committee met January 15, 1987, at the Hutchinson
Public Library with Jim Junker, Junker Sanitation of Stillwater in attendance.
The purpose of our meeting was to coordinate with Mr. Junker our current and on
•going leaf composting project. After meeting with him and discussing our particular
project we came to an agreement where by our project could be made more efficent.
In review: In September of 1986 the Hutchinson City Council approved the
use of city owned land for the purpose of stockpiling leaves and grass for the
production of compost. It was also approved to use city equipment and personnel
to turn and further monitor the stockpile of leaves once they were collected.and
that they would maintain that monitoring in years to come. This, the stockpiling,
composting, of leaves is just one way the City is contributing to the counties
effort to prolong the life of our county landfill.
We, the members of the Hutchinson Solid Waste Committee, hereby recommend the
City Council take the following steps to improve the communities effort to prolong
the life of our county sanitary landfill.
1. Adopt a mandatory policy whereby all leaves and grass material be
seperated from daily garbage and once seperated be placed on the
curb for pickup by Junker Sanitation during their regularly schedule
residential garbage pickup.
This would require a review of Junker Sanitations current contract
with the City.
2. In order to eliminate the necessity of debagging leaves and grass
once collected, the city require the use of biodegradable bags for
• use as leaf and grass containers.
In cooporation with the Cities effort to reduce landfill dependancy,
Junker Sanitation at Stillwater will provide a separate truck for
leaf and grass pickup, above and beyond his regular fleet of trucks. •
If the City Council does not wish to utilize Junker Sanitation's
additional truck, the Waste Management Committee recommends the use
of city vehicles and personnel to coordinate a mutually agreeable
pickup time with city schedules and citizen demand.
May the council be reminded that many communities within Minnesota
presently have such mandatory conservation policies working within
their Cities. Be it also known that within a not to distant future
such conservation practices will became mandatory by decree of State
Pollution regulations.
The efforts our community takes today does nothing but prolong our
quality of life for years to come.

SUBJECT: FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS
--------------------------------------------------------------
On January 29, 1987 at 1 pm the proposals for the services
of a financial consultant will be opened at City Hall. The
proposals allow for an interview process and, if necessary, the
submitting of additional information as the city requests.
With the upcoming waste treatment plant construction
schedule and 1987 improvements, we should proceed rapidly as
• bonds must be issued early in the year. It would be my hope the
selection of this consultant would be made at the first regular
meeting in February.
We have sent proposals out to 7 firms providing the services
which are required. Once the proposals are opened, depending on
the wishes of the council, either a special meeting or
representatives from the council could do the review and make a
recommendation. Again we would like to be in a position to name
the consultant on the 10th of February.

Dear Mayor Ackland and Council Members:
At their meeting last night the Hutchinson Community Hospital Board
of Directors considered the purchase of two new pieces of equipment
which require City Council approval. The first piece of equipment is
a new anesthesia machine. After a presentation and discussion the
following recommendation was made by the board:
• Motion was made by Balke, seconded by Ewald, that the
Board of Directors recommend to the City Council the purchase
of a new anesthesia machine at a cost not to exceed $15,000.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
The second purchase that the Board considered last evening was
for laboratory equipment. This equipment involves a chemistry
analyzer system and electrolyte analyzer. After a presentation
and discussion the following recommendation was made by the
board:
Motion was made by Skeie, seconded by Durfee that the
Board of Directors recommend to the City Council the purchase
of a Roche Diagnostics Chemistry Analyzer System at a cost not
to exceed $35,450 and a Electrolyte Analyzer from American
Scientific Products at a cost not to exceed $20,995.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of the above-mentioned
matter. If you have any further questions I will be available
at the City Council meeting for comment.
Sincerely,

ARNOLD & McDOWELL

Hutchinson, MN 55350
RE: FEES FOR PARKVIEW PLAZA PROJECT
Dear Barry:
F!L E Copy
During 1985 the city of Hutchinson issued and sold
Tax Increment Bonds in relation to the Parkview Plaza Project.
In connection with that project on the 25th day of June, 1985
• Frank J. Fay and Curtis E. Burckhardt executed a document
designated as "Contract for Sale of Land for Private
Development in Development District Number Four". Paragraph
4.07 of that document provides that Mr. Fay and Mr.
Burckhardt, as Parkview Plaza Limited Partnership shall pay
directly to the city upon demand all costs of issuance of the
bond, including fees of bond counsel, counsel to the city, the
fiscal agent and any other consultants retained by the city in
connection with the implementation and administration of the
program.
In addition to the Tax Increment se"s issued,
Parkview Plaza Limited Partnership also sought the issuance of
certain Industrial Revenue Bonds. As part of the request for
issuance of those bonds, a It deposit was made by Mr. Fay and
Mr. Burckhardt to the state of Minnesota through the city.
When the project was abandoned the city of Hutchinson
requested refund of the 1% deposit and such refund was made to
the municipality. In December of 1985 Mr. Fay sought refund
to him of these monies. I prepared an opinion directed to
Mayor Ackland on December 19, 1985. This opinion dealt with
the necessity for the city to refund to Mr. Fay the $5,000
refund currently in its possession. I stated in that opinion
that "Mr. Fay is clearly obligated to pay for the cost
associated with both the Tax Increment Bonds and the
• Industrial Development Bonds. A convenient method of payment
would be to disburse to the various parties funds from the
q- m.
Barry Anderson

$5,000 allotment deposit." I further stated, "It should be
noted that there appears to be no specific statutory basis for
withholding the deposit." I an enclosing a copy d my letter
of December 19, 1985 for your files. On January 15, 1986 I
forwarded to Mr. Fay a billing for services iNmdered in
connection with the issuance of the tax increscent bonds. This
billing was made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4.07
previously mentioned. On February 13, 1986 Mr. Fay responded
and suggested that I submit my statement to Ow city of
Hutchinson for collection from the $5,000 being withheld by
the city. On February 25th of 1986 I again contacted Mr. Fay
and indicated that I would proceed with billing and payment to '
the city and that if he contested the city's payseat of costs
from the $5,000 retained, he should notify me. I received no
response from Mr. Fay and verifiel that he had no objections
by letter dated March 17, 1986. In October of 1%6 I again
contacted Mr. Fay and he again indicated that the billing •
should be sent to the municipality for payment from the $5,000
withheld by the city. On November 10th of 1986 I submitted my
billing to the municipality. As of this date, no payment has
been made. I have contacted both Mr. Burckhardt and Mr. Fay
and they are willing to sign a release authorizing payment of
my billing from the withheld funds. I would request that the
municipality consider authorizing payment out of the withheld
funds at the last council meeting in January. If payment is
not made from these funds on a voluntary basis, I believe that
I will be forced to initiate an action against ■r. Fay, Mr.
Burckhardt and the municipality in order to determine the
appropriate source of payment. I would appreciate your input
into this matter.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Petition for Installation of Fire Hydrant
Our File No. 3188-87-0001 /
Dear Gary:

JAN Iga

• You have requested a written opinion on whether or not a certain
Petition for local improvement dated January 12, 1987 is sufficient
under Chapter 429 of Minnesota Statutes to waive a public hearing
for the purpose of installing a fire hydrant and anything associated
with a fire hydrant.
The Petition in question was signed by Newell Weed for Retirement
Living Communities, Inc. and other owners and by another individual
as a representative of a limited partnership. It is my opinion
that the Petition does not comply with the requirements of Chapter
429.
Absent a power of attorney, Mr. Weed is not in a position to sign
for other owners of the Retirement Living Community. Further, there
is insufficient information on the Petition to determine whether or
not the person signing in blank number one has the authority to
bind the limited partnership. The limited partnership has attempted
to restrict its exposure to $500 and this is probably also unacceptable
since it will leave the City with the expense for the installation of
the improvement which exceeds the limited partnership's limitation of
$500.
I trust this answers your question. If you have additional problems
or concerns in this area, you certainly should contact me. Thank you.

John B. Dean
Glenn E. Purdue Dear Mr. Plotz:
Richard J. Schieffer
Charles L. LeFevere
Herbert P. Lefler III On Tuesday, December 16, 1986, a public meeting of the
James J. Thomson, Jr. Hutchinson police civil service commission was held to
Thomas laalt discuss matters involving Police Chief O'Borsky. The
Dayle Brien F. Rice city council was invited to attend the meeting and at
John G. Kressel least three members did so. The city council has asked
Lo vres.trommen mg
M. Strwhether this meeting is subject to the requirements of
dd H. Batty the Minnesota open meeting law and whether it constituted
William P. Jordan a meeting of the city council because of the presence of
Kurt J. Erickson
William R. Skallerud a quorum of the council. Based on a review of relevant
Rodney D. Anderson statutes and case law, our opinion regarding these
Corrine A. Heine matters is as follows.
David D. Beaudoin
Paul E. Rasmussen
Steven M. Tallen There can be no doubt that the subject meeting of the
police civil service commission was governed by the
state's open meeting law, Minn. Stat. Section 471.705.
The statute applies to "all meetings .. of the
governing body of any . city ... and of any committee,
subcommittee, board, department or commission thereof
". Although, there are exceptions to the open meeting
law, none appear relevant with regard to this meeting.
Accordingly, the meeting of December 16, 1986, was
subject to requirements of reasonable prior notice and
being open to the public.
The second question raised by the city council may be
answered in a similar unambiguous manner. Since the
meeting of the civil service commission was subject to
the open meeting law, it is unnecessary to look for other
independent reasons for the meeting to be open to the
public. Simply stated, the meeting was subject to the
open meeting law regardless of whether any members of
another public body, including the city council, were in
attendance.
Mr. Gary Plotz
Page 2
January 9, 1987
Mere attendance at the meeting by a quorum of the city
council is not sufficient, in our opinion, to convert it
into a city council meeting. This is the case because
none of the characteristics of a city council meeting
were present. It was clearly not a regularly scheduled
meeting of the city council. If it were a special
meeting, it would have to have been called by the mayor
or three members of the council. That did not occur.
Neither the mayor nor any other member of the city
council presided at the meeting nor were the council
members present acting as a body in any respect normally
associated with a meeting of the city council. Presum-
ably, no such actions occurred because no member of the
city council, either prior to or during the civil service
commission meeting, considered there to be a meeting of
the city council being held jointly or simultaneously
with the other meeting. Therefore, it is our opinion
that on December 16, 1986, there was no meeting of the
city council at the time of the police civil service
commission meeting. Accordingly, while the meeting was
subject to the open meeting law because it was a meeting
of a city commission, it was not a meeting of the city
council requiring notice by the city council or any of •
the other procedural matters associated with such a
meeting.
It should be noted that the lack of notice or any role by
a member of the council in presiding would not have
exempted the meeting from the open meeting law under
different circumstances. Even had the meeting been
called by a private body whose meetings are not subject
to the open meeting law, the attendance by a quorum of
the city council for the purpose of discussing or even
receiving information as a group relevant to official
city business would have required the meeting to be open
to the public.
Sincerely,
Ronald H. Batty

voters of the city shall have the right, in
accordance with this charter, to propose
ordinances, to require ordinances to be submitted
to a vote, and to recall elected public officials
by processes known respectively as the initiative,
referendum and recall.
Section 5.02. PETITIONS. An initiative,
referendum or recall, shall be initiated by a
petition signed by registered voters of the city
equal in number to 20 percent of those who voted
for mayor in the last preceding city election.
Each petition shall be sponsored by a committee of
five voters whose names and addresses shall appear
on the petition. A petition may consist of one or
more papers, but each paper circulated separately
shall contain at its head or attached to it the
statement required by Sections 5.06, 5.07 or 5.08,
as the case may be. Each signer shall sign his
name and give his street address. Each separate
page of the petition shall have appended to it a
certificate, verified by oath, that each signature
is the genuine signature of the person whose name
it purports to be. The person making the
certificate shall be a resident of the city. Any
person whose name appears on a petition may with-
draw his name by a statement in writing filed with
the city administator before the city administator
advises the council of the sufficiency of the
petition.
Section 5.03. DETERMINATION OF SUFFICIENCT.
Immediately upon receipt of the petition, the city
administrator shall examine the petition as to its
sufficiency and report to the council within 20
days. Upon receiving the report, the council

Section 5.04. FURTHER REGULATIONS. The
council may provide by ordinance such further
regulations for the initiative, referendum, and
recall, not inconsistent with this charter, as it
deems necessary.
Section 5.05. DISPOSITION OF INSUFFICIENT

petition is insufficient or irregular, the city
administrator shall deliver a copy of the
petition, together with a written statement of its
defects, to the sponsoring committee. The commit-
tee shell have 30 days in which to file additiona
signature papers and to correct the petition I
all other particulars. If at the end of that
period the council finds that the petition is
stili Insufficient or irregular, the city adminis-
trator shall file the petition in his office and
notify the sponsoring committee. The final finding
that the petition is insufficient or irregular
shall not prejudice the filing of a new petition
for the same purpose nor sha11 it prevent the
council from referring the ordinance to the voters
at the next regular or special election at its
option.
Section SAG. INITIATIVE. Any ordinance,
except an ordinance relating to the budget or

10 days of its passage by the council, th
ordinance need not be submitted to the voters. I
the council fails to enact the ordinance in a
acceptable form within 60 days after the final
determination of sufficiency of the petition, the
ordinance shall be placed on the ballot at the
next election occurring to the city. If no elec-
tion is to occur within 120 days after the filing
of the petition, the council shall call a special
election on the ordinance to be held within such

referendum by a petition which shall state, at the
head of each page or on an attached paper, a
description of the ordinance. Any ordinance upon
which a petition is filed, other than an emergency
ordinance, shall be suspended in its operation as
soon as the petition is found sufficient. If the
ordinance is not thereafter entirely repe-led, it
shall be placed on the ballot at the next election
or at a special election called for that purpose,
as the council determines. If a majority of the
le
voters voting thereon favors the ordinance, it
shall go into effect immediately or on the date
specified in the ordinance, if a majority of the
• electors voting thereon votes against the
ordinance, it shall be considered repealed upon
certification of the election results. If a peti-
tion is filed against an emergency ordinace, the
ordinance shall remain in effect but sha11 be
repealed if a majority of the voters voting on the
ordinance vote against.
section 5.08 RECALL ELECTION. If the
petition or amended petition is found sufficient,
the city administrator shall transmit it to the
council without delay, and shall also officially
notify the person sought to be recalled of the
sufficiency of the petition and of the pending
action. The council shall at its next meeting, by
resolution, provide for the holding of a special
recall election not less than 30 nor more than 45
days after such meeting, but if any other election
is to occur within 60 days after such meeting, the
council may to its discretion provide for the
holding of the recall election at that time.

January 15, 1987 - 7:00 p.m.
Present: Butch Wentworth, Chairman
Doug Jost, Energy Coordinator
Glen Matejka
Jay Beytien
Ken Prihoda
Hugh Foster
Doug Jost gave members a list of D.E.E.D. demonstration audits to be
scheduled in Hutchinson. Doug agreed to send each member a schedule of
audits when ready as some members expressed an interest to go along
with the audit walk-thru. The Hutchinson Leader will also be notified
of the audit schedules so they may provide coverage. Hutchinson Util-
ities is gathering consumption data for each audit in advance.
It was announced that the Hutchinson Energy Conservation revolving loan
fund decision was deferred at the last City Council meeting. There
apparently wasn't anybody there to represent the issue. Butch offered
to make sure some H.C.D.C. members are present at the next city council
�J meeting. Copies of the loan fund information/application packet were
distributed to C.E.C. members. Some back pages were omitted so they
will be redistributed later.
Doug mentioned the article on the energy program written by the Hutch-
inson Leader as a good start to marketing the program. In the last
month Doug made contact with and visited all six D.E.E.D. demonstration
audit sites. He is putting together a slide presentation for the work-
shops to be scheduled later. Another project is to produce a checkoff
list format for the Phase I audit.
Doug requested the council fund $65.00 for a lighting workshop with
grant money available. Mileage to attend the workshop was also request-
ed but questioned by some members. Glen motioned to talk with Gary Plotz
before allowing travel expense. Butch agreed to the training expense
allowance and seconded Glenn's motion. The grant proposal allows $700.00
from D.E.E.D. to be used for in-state travel and training expense. There
is presently $450.00 remaining for this purpose.
Tom Helgeson (MN D.E.E.D.) sent us some informational materials which
are available from the state. Doug will keep in stock and have those
materials available at the Utilities' office.
_06Glen requested to have the city provide monthly financial reports on the

By Leanne Hess
It began as conversation last
summer when the condition of
Lake Ripley was at its worst.
Then the question was formu-
lated- is it possible for Litch-
field to have an outdoor muni-
cipal pool?
After much discussion and
the start of research into an
answer to the question by a
�andful of people, a public
��innterest meeting was convened
Tuesday night at the council
chambers in city hall.
Of the 30 or so people at the
meeting Tuesday night, all
seemed to be in support of
>• seeking more information and
n coutinumg research concern -
is ing the construction of a pool
T here. All were frustrated with
!y the perennial poor water
!s quality of the town's municipal
beach.
in One woman m attendance
or noted that she often takes her
10 eliften to Lake Maneells to
at swim because of the lake's
V. clean water. However, she was
m concerned at how long the
water quality there wadd be
maintained with increased
usage.
Other members of the group
voiced concern at a lack of life-
guards at the Manuella Park
87 beach.
4 It was noted at the meeting,
5 that although the county has
ed decided, in cooperation with
ow the Department of Natural Re-
* sources. to add to the Man-
uella beach area and to add a
boat landing there, there is no
money allocated for lifeguard
coverage of the area.
Sue Fenton, one of the or-
ganizers of the pool effort,
noted that she has been asked
why the group isn't spending
its time and energy on clean-
ing up Lake Ripley instead of
working for a municipal pool.
"There is no one who would
like to see Lake Ripley cleaned
up more than I would. But
there is no quick fix to cleaning
the lake. It could take five to
ten years to do .that and
funding would be difficult to
get," she noted.
f°We. dolt want to forget
about Lake Ripley," site add-
ed, "we Just want this In
addithm to IL"
Although no figures have
been established, organizers
of the effort estimate that the
complete pool could cost in the
neighborhood of $250.000.
Katie Drange, another of
the group's core members,
noted that to June of last year,
Hutchinson opened a new out-
door pool. The facility there,
however, included a covered
area for two tennis courts,
locker rooms and community
education and recreation
offices, at a total cost of over a
million dollars.
"We are not talking about a
project that large at all." Mrs.
Drange commented. However,
Sid Herrick noted at the
meeting that perhaps a more
elaborate project should be
considered to make the new
pool site into a more complete
recreational facility for the
community.
City Administrator Wayne
Carlson, who was at the meet-
ing Tuesday night in what he
called an advisory capacity,
agreed that Herrick's idea was
a good one, but quickly added
that it would be hard to meet
ongoing costs for such a
facility.
He noted that the city has no
trouble paying its annual
510,000 debt service payment
on the Civic Arena, but that
operating costs are a concern i
for the city. "U's hard to keep
the doors open and pay the
ongotn� costs.
"Let s be honest, B this
were going to be a big money
maker, then it would already
have been built through a pri-
vate venture," Carlson noted.
He added that if the pool
were built, the fees it goner-
ates would be used for staffing
and maintenance. Any short-
falls would be absorbed by the
city.
Although Herrick's sugges-
tion was not totally dismissed,
discussion at the meeting con-
centrated on construction of
y a pool.
The pool at Hutchinson_
whit some rst
iced, is a six lane, 25 meter,
7 square foot Olympic
sized pod. It has a consider-
able area of fairly shallow
water which aids in teaching
swimming lessons to young-
sters.
The clutch pool is L shaped
with the short.end of the L
designated as a diving area.
One person in attendance
wondered if an outdoor pool
would cause a reduction in
summer nae at the senior high
school pool.

By JERRY SOBOTIK

The New Ulm Convention and
Visitors Bureau decided Wednes-
day to ban the press or anyone else
from attending their meetings.
How the CVB's seven individual
members voted orrthat issue and
why they voted as they did was the
first item considered behind closed
doors. '
The other issues decided Wednes-
day, which the CVB felt they did not
wish to discuss in public, included
using the Citv's lodein�tax to spon-
sor a innesota Twins weekend, a
portion of the Star Cities Commis-
sion's marketing video, and to

ST. PAUL (AP) — Two farm
organizations Wednesday urged ex-
tension of the state's indebted farm
loan subsidy program, and the
chairman of a House subcommittee
predicted that the House would
come through.
The interest subsidy or "buy -
down" program "is one of the few
effective means that state govern-
ment can use to provide assistance
to financially distressed farmers,"
Vern Ingvalson of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau told the Agriculture
Finance Division of the House
Agriculture Committee.

might take.
Ingvalson and Bleyhl both sug-
gested that the state could save
money in the program by cutting
back on the 37.5 percent of the in-
terest cost subsidized by the state
and possibly increasing the amount
subsidized by lenders.
