Item 7(a)3 was pulled for separate discussion
Motion by Czmowski, second by Yost, to approve consent agenda with the exception of Item 7(a)3. Motion
carried unanimously.
Item 7(a)3 had further discussion. Mayor Cook pointed out that in the past, public hearings for annexations
Had been heard at the City Council level, however this annexation hearing was held at the Planning
Commission level. Mayor Cook wanted to clarify the legality of where the hearings should be held. Dan
Jochum, Planning Director, explained that noted that state statute simply states that a public hearing must be
held and doesn't specify in front of which body in must be held in front of. Mr. Jochum expressed that he
felt since annexations are land use issues, public hearings serve well in front of the Planning Commission.
Mayor Cook noted that he felt that made sense and just wanted it clarified since previous hearings had been
held in front of the Planning Commission and the City Council.

12(b) — Council Member Yost commented that the administration and cemetery funds are over 100%
already. Jeremy Carter, City Administrator, explained that the severance payouts for the previous City
Administrator and a cemetery employee are included in these areas, hence the large use of funds. Everything
else appears to be tracking well.
13. MISCELLANEOUS
Bill Arndt — Council Member Arndt asked about the status of improvement projects. John Olson, Public
Works Manager, noted that most of the improvement projects are complete other than some paving on the
streets that had frost boil repairs. School Road has been paved full width. Council Member Arndt also
asked about paving in a small corner by the McLeod County Historical Museum. This area typically grows
in full of weeds. Council Member Arndt asked about the large trees and logs located in the dam. Mr. Olson
noted that a contractor should be getting to that work in the next couple of weeks. Discussion was held on
work to be completed on Linden Avenue. Lastly, Council Member Arndt asked about the hauling of the
snow from the schools. He noted that there is an open field right across from the high school instead of
hauling it five miles out of town. John Olson will pass on this information to the school district.
Mary Christensen — Council Member Christensen noted that citizens have been asking her about having a
dog park located in the city. Council Member Arndt suggested seeing if the infield at the Fairgrounds would
be an option. It is completely fenced in and he suggested that perhaps an arrangement could be made with
the Fairgrounds.
Chad Czmowski — Council Member Czmowski noted that tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. at Jake's Pizza the
first Hutchinson Area Mountain Bike Association meeting will be held.
Jeremy Carter— Mr. Carter noted that earlier in the meeting the Council had set December 7, 2011, at 6:30
p.m. for the Truth in Taxation hearing, however that evening is typically set aside for advent services in the
church community so he suggested rescheduling the hearing so as not to provide a conflict for residents.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Yost to re -set Truth in Taxation hearing to December 13, 2011, at 6:00
p.m. The hearing will be held during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Carter noted that at the workshop held today it was discussed to have a follow -up budget workshop on
the general fund.
Motion by Yost, second by Christensen, to set general fund budget workshop for November 17, 2011, at
4:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Cook —Mayor Cook noted he recently spoke at the redistricting panel. Results from that will be out
in the near future. Mayor Cook also suggested that the City look into various survey tools such as Survey
Monkey or Zoomerang. These survey tools are relatively inexpensive and could be placed on the City's web
site. They could also be used both internally and externally.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 19, 2011 for the October 25, 2011, City Council meeting
TO: Hutchinson City Council
FROM: Dan Jochum, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: ANNEXATION BY ORDINANCE OF 1.52 ACRES, LOCATED IN SECTION 7,
HASSAN VALLEY TOWNSHIP, REQUESTED BY TIM AND BECKY
ALBRECHT, 1450 JEFFERSON STREET S.E.
Background:
A petition for annexation has been received from Tim and Becky Albrecht to annex a 1.52 -acre parcel
located at 1450 Jefferson Street S.E. They are requesting the annexation of a portion of their property
due to a failing septic system. The remainder of the property will stay as a feedlot and will remain in
the township. The property abuts the city and the property owner is requesting to hook up to municipal
services. City services (sewer and water) are available to the property. Sewer will be hooked up
immediately and water will be hooked up sometime in the future. The annexation of this property is
needed because the septic system is failing and has the potential to cause a public health issue.
City Council Memo
Annexation - Tim Albrecht property
Page 2
Annexation and Public Hearin
A petition for annexation has been submitted by Tim Albrecht and a 30 day notice period to the
township, County, and adjacent property owners has been initiated. A public hearing for annexation is
required to be held by the City. Two readings are required by the Council and approval by the State
Municipal Boundary Adjustments Board is also required before the annexation is complete.
Comprehensive Plan:
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan identifies the timing and density for development on the staging plan.
The property is identified on the Staging Plan as having the potential for utility extension and
development between 2000 - 2005. The property is designated for traditional residential neighborhood
development category, which includes low density single family housing. The proposed annexation
would be consistent with the City's long term plans.
Zoning and Land Use
Annexed property is automatically assigned the R -1 zoning district (Single Family Residential) upon
annexation into the City. This is consistent with the zoning that is appropriate for this property
considering it is a single - family home.
Utilities and Assessments
Assessments for services will be administered according to City of Hutchinson assessment policy and
will be consistent with how the Jefferson St and Edmonton Ave projects were administered.
Planning Commission Meeting:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the proposed annexation at their October 18`
meeting. Ms. Albrecht, property owner, stated they would like to have City water service to the house
and will use the well for the dairy operation. Mr. Exner stated water and sewer are stubbed to the
property. Mr. Jochum explained the property owner must have a deed drawn up for the portion of the
lot to be annexed to the City and the deed must be recorded at the County. The deed needs to be
filed as soon as possible. He explained, if the sewer cleanout is located in concrete, the required
sleeves are available from the City and will need to be installed, a water meter with a remote reader is
required, the property must receive electrical services from Hutch Utilities and the well must be sealed
at such time it is no longer in use.
No one from the public objected to the annexation request
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended forwarding the annexation to the City Council with
positive feedback and the requirement to record a deed at the County.

RE: Consideration of Improvement Project Change Orders
DATE: November 8, 2011
As construction has proceeded on the below listed projects there has been additional work, project scope revisions,
and/or construction staging changes. The items specified below have been identified and deemed necessary to
satisfactorily complete the projects. The following Change Orders are proposed as noted:
• Change Order No. 1 —Letting No. 4/Project No. 11-05 —2011 Pavement Management Program — Phase 2
This Change Order addresses the modification oftheproposedroadway section along Bradford Street. Thiswas
necessary due to abnormally moist roadway subgrade conditions. The 2'proposed street section was installed
per plans and an additional l ' ofsubgrade was excavated and filled in with Class 7 to make a suitable subgrade.
Could not lower draintile and fabric due to structure elevations. This action results in a decrease to the original
contract in the amount of$10,444. 00.
• Change Order No. 2 — Letting No. 4/Project No. 11 -05 — 2011 Pavement Management Program — Phase 2
This Change Order addresses the final]. 5" wear course lift issue's on Bradford Street. The roller had some
bituminous stick and left pick up markings of 4 "- 6" wide & up to I" in depth. Area's will be reviewed in spring.
This deduct was agreed to by Mueller's & City staff in the field at 1: 00pm 28- Oct -2011 onsite. The intent for this
deduct is to cover the City's cost ofseal coating Bradford Street in the next 1 years. This action results in a
decrease to the original contract in the amount of$2,500. 00.
We recommend that the attached project Change Orders be approved.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council members
From: John Olson, Public Works Manager
Subject: REQUEST FOR PUBLIC SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY
The Public Works department is requesting permission to sell surplus equipment owned
by the City to the McLeod County Highway Department, as described below.
Surplus equipment for sale:
1 ea. 1999 US Cargo enclosed trailer, model # USC712TA2 (VIN 4PL500E22X1019409)
This trailer was previously used for applying pavement markings, however, since the
downsizing of the Public Works department, pavement markings have had to be
contracted so there is no longer a use for this equipment.
McLeod County used this trailer on loan from the City of Hutchinson in 2011 and have
decided it would be a beneficial addition to their fleet.
The terms of surplus property sales include no warranties and all equipment is offered as
is. The purchaser shall be required to transfer title, remove any identifying markings on
the equipment, and pay all taxes and other fees related to titles and licenses.
Public Works staff recommends offering the trailer at the sale price of $1,500.00.

TO: Mayor & Council
FROM: Chief Dan Hatteno//
DATE: November 2, 2011
RE: Consent Agenda — Background Investigation - Pulkrabek
A background check was conducted on Heidi Pulkrabek for the purpose of her obtaining
a massage license in the City of Hutchinson.
Ms. Pulkrabek has no criminal history documented with the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension and she does not have any violations on her driving record. Records
checks were also completed through the LOGIS member cities and Lexus Nexis and
revealed no issues of concern.
It would be my recommendation to grant the massage license to Heidi Pulkrabek.
It should be noted that Kayla Wies is listed as an operator with this business on the
application. No signed release of information form was submitted for Wies and
therefore no background investigation was conducted on her. .

Subject: Airport Consultant Selection
There is no formal action required from the City Council. This is presented for your information:
To comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the Airport is required to conduct a
consultant selection process from time to time (typically every three or four years, depending
upon the Airport's Capital Projects list).
The projects we identified in 2008's consultant selection process have been completed.
Therefore, it is time for the Airport to initiate another consultant selection process.
Attached for your reference is the request for qualifications (RFQ's) that is sent to Airport
consultants. The RFQ identifies information that the Airport is seeking and how RFQ's are
ranked. RFQ's are ranked both by City Public Works staff and the members of the Airport
Commission.
If they feel it to be beneficial, the Airport Commission may request teleconference, personal
interviews, or formal presentations with any or all potential consultants.

SAC: Sewer Availability Charge ♦ WAC: Water Availability Charge
Background
SAC and WAC are known as "impact" or "connection" fees. The City of Hutchinson has collected these
fees since the mid- 1990's as a Trunk Fee based on land use, number of connections and area of a parcel
of land at the time of development. This system was revised in 2001 to be based on the most recent
MCES (Metropolitan Council Environmental Services) procedures that utilize land use parameters and
related SAC units. This procedure more accurately reflects the use of the infrastructure services, and has
a strong base of use as a fair and acceptable standard.
SACIWAC Determination
The MCES Procedures Manual defines SAC as "Service" Availability Charge and is specifically utilized for
sanitary sewer flows to the Metropolitan wastewater system. The City of Hutchinson's policy uses the
following definitions:
SAC: Sewer Availability Charge (Relates to sanitary sewer systems)
WAC: Water Availability Charge (Relates to water works systems)
Both SAC and WAC will be charged based on the same unit basis, which may be noted separately, or
together as "SACNVAC ".
Single- family homes, townhouses, duplex units and most apartments each equal one SACNVAC unit. For
non - residential properties, one SACNVAC unit is defined as 274 gallons of maximum potential daily
wastewater flow volume. Commercial buildings are assessed SACNVAC units based on the maximum
potential daily wastewater flow value. Industrial buildings are assessed SACNVAC units based on
maximum normal daily wastewater flow volume for process areas and maximum potential flow volume for
commercial areas.
The City Engineer and /or the Planning /Zoning /Building Director will make SACNVAC unit determinations.
Change in demand or use of a property may trigger a redetermination of the unit charge, and additional
fees may become due. The "unit" calculations will be based on the MCES SAC Criteria and parameters,
however City staff has the authority and responsibility to vary from the noted criteria and parameters if
specific conditions warrant.
SAC/WAC Revenue
SACNVAC revenues collected by the City will be used to finance capital infrastructure expenses for the
Wastewater and Water systems of the City. These funds may be utilized for any expenses that are not
normally covered by other user fees or assessments, and shall be utilized only for improvements directly
related to the wastewater and water systems of the City. This includes, but is not limited to:
• "Trunk" system pipe oversizing
• Non - assessable "trunk" improvements
• Storage facilities, lift stations, and other related facilities
• Treatment and production facility modifications, construction or reconstruction
• Debt retirement of related expenses
These funds will be held separately in a fund dedicated for this specific use

I:IPUBLIC WORK&Rates & Fees Sanitary Seva r and Water Availability Charge Policy.d=— Page t of 2
SACNVAC Rates
The fees /rates as currently charged by the City of Hutchinson have been determined based on a policy of
offsetting the cost of growth and having new development or existing property redevelopment pay for
improvements required to make sanitary sewer and water service available. Based on financial analysis
the 2001 rates were required to be over 50% higher ($2,700 per SACNVAC unit vs. $1,750 per SACNVAC
unit) in order to cover all costs associated with growth. Sanitary sewer and water monthly user fees, and
taxes for payment of debt service of improvement bonds, cover the remainder of the cost of this
community growth.
SACNVAC rates will be reviewed yearly. Inflationary increases based on the ENR (Engineering News
Record) Cost Index will be considered, as well as any market adjustments related to meeting the policies
and direction of the Council. The City Council shall approve the rate for the following year as part of the
yearly budget process. The City Council reserves the right to adjust fees at other times of the years

Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study
DATE:
11/2/2011
City staff has been working with Westwood to develop a report that evaluates the suitability of
renewable energy production at various locations on city property. The final report was received on
October 31 st , 2011 and was discussed at the November 1 st , Resource Allocation Committee meeting.
The executive summary and life cycle cost sections of the report are attached. The summary
provides an overview of the projects and their respective locations. Technical analysis of the
various locations was also included in the report for the different renewable energy systems.
Renewable energy technologies and associated incentives have been changing rapidly in recent years.
Staff will continue to monitor the development and changing landscape of these technologies.
City staff welcomes your comments and will assist the council in any way we can.

It is with pleasure that Westwood Professional Services ( "Westwood ") is submitting the final
version of the Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study (the "Report") to the City of
Hutchinson (the "City "). The primary goal of the Report was to begin to understand the City's
potential capacity to develop renewable energy, specifically solar and wind, at four selected City
sites.
The maximum wind and solar capacity results are preliminary in nature and additional site
analysis must be conducted. However, with these beginning results, the City can begin to narrow
which opportunities to review further.
It should be noted that the initial proposal excluded discussions with the Hutchinson Utilities
Commission until subsequent phases. We believe discussion with the Utility is an essential next
step, as well as the electric interconnection review, renewable energy system impact modeling,
and a more detailed cost analysis. The scope for this current Report allowed for industry
standards with regard to the cost analysis of basic representative models. Next steps will
evaluate more detailed benefits of alternative systems and return on investment.
Finally, we appreciated the opportunity to review the City's comments regarding the draft
Report. These comments provided helpful clarification regarding the City's goals for renewable
energy or, in the alternative, to scope out additional next phases for the City to consider in
reviewing renewable energy opportunities. Most comments were either incorporated or
responded to within this final Report.
Within the comments were questions regarding equipment differences, alternative locations and
systems considerations and utility constraints. Several of these issues can be determined
following discussions with the City to scope out more precise development opportunities and a
more detailed siting analysis. The City may want to consider focusing on a single renewable

energy resource, or a single site. Following that discussion, Westwood will propose a scope of
work with options to review, including system reviews with the Hutchinson Utilities
Commission.
Again, we are pleased to submit the final Report and please feel free to contact us with any
questions.

1. Executive Summary
The City of Hutchinson ( "City") is in the initial process of analyzing opporntnities for renewable
energy potential. The City is researching tine suitability of conshuctim solar energy and wind
energy facilities. Westwood Professional services ("Westwood ") was contracted by the City to
provide a preliminary suitability analysis of solar and wind energy projects located at specific
City properties. This report analyzes critical preliminary issues in determnling advantages and
disadvantages of solar and wind development.
The solar analysis considered two locations: (1) the area occupied by the closed Landfill adjacent
to the Wastewater Treatment Facility (" kVWTF ") for a large -scale solar system. and (2) the roof
of the water tank adjacent to the Water Treatment Plant ( "WTP ") for a smaller demonstration
solar project.
The wind analysis considered two locations: (1) an open area directly east of the WWTF for a
smaller demonstration wind project. and (2) a farm site northeast of the WWTF, referred to in
this report as the Stritesly Site, for a large -scale wind system.
Westwood* s scope in the project is to perform a preliminary suitability smdy of the four potential
projects with the following tasks:
• Renewable Resource Evaluation
• Wind site Planning and Constraint Analysis
• Solar Site Plantain- and Constraint Analysis
• Energy Generation Estimates
• opinion of Probable Project Costs
• Life Cycle Costs
The primary goal of this report is to determine the type of renewable energy project best suited to
each site, determine each project's nuaxirnuun capacity, and then provide the City with a
preliminary comparative analysis of the potential projects. This report includes a review of key
next steps for the City to further understand and quantify each project's potential. It is important
to note that the pin of this report was to review four specific City sites using industry
standard methods and metrics. Iviore detailed financial analysis, rerun of investment, and
technology considerations will be reviewed once the City deterni mes which sites and what types
of renewable energy the City wants to pursue fiuther.
To begin the analysis, Westwood conducted an evaluation of the solar and wind energy available
at the City propel-ties. visiting each site to collect data and using desktop sofhvare to assess the
available resources. The solar resource is at standard levels for this region, with an average of
1,2 kilowatt-hours (Mll) of energy produced for every kilowatt *1R0 of solar installed. The
wind resource is twice as productive. at an average of 1500 kWh!kNV
City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study I } L J)
October 31, 2011

Using constraints provided by the City and additional site planning tools, Westwood established
preliminary capacity plans for each solar and wind site. Westwood formed the City's general
requirements into preliminary system designs using typical equipment:
• Solar Large -Scale Project at W WTF: 750k-W !1C solar array
• Solar Demonstration Project at WTP: 30kW AC solar array
• Wind Large -Scale Project — Stntesky Site: 600M wind turbine
• Wind Demonstration Project at WW I 55kW wind turbine
Applying the renewable energy resources to these typical equipment selections. Westwood
produced preliminary energy generation estimates using industry - standard modeling software.
These generation models are compared to the WWTF and W'TP consumption and demand data
provided by the City to gain an understanding of how renewable energy will affect each facility's
consumption of fossil -fuel based electricity. Below are the generation estimates for each project
in its first year:
• Solar 750kW Project: 1.046.767 kWh
• Solar 30kW Project: 43,090 k
• Wind 600kW Project 1_505.986 k' h
• Wind 55M Project: 156510 Olkli
Westwood calculated estimated project costs for each system using national and local estimates
of labor and material, combined with previous experience on similar projects and direct quotes
from suppliers. At this preliminary stage the available data on specific site conditions is limited.
thus these are general estimates subject to change in additional states of study. Basic project
costs for each system are:
• Solar 750kW Project:
$3,100500
• Solar 30kW Project:
$144,000
• Wind 600kW Project:
$1,877,000
• Wind 5 A Project:
$399,000
Over a lifetime of production. the estimated cost of delivered energy from each system is:
• Solar 750kW Project: $0. 1338fk11Thproduced
• Solar 30kW Project:
• Wind 600kW' Project:
• Wind 55kW Project:
$0.15571 h produced
$0.0703/kWh produced
$0.1355/kWh produced
Westwood used a simple payback formula to calculate the payback timeline for each project. In
this formula, expenses equal capital costs plus annual operations and maintenance, and revenue
equals renewable energy used to offset fossil -fuel based electricity that would typically be
delivered from Hutchinson Public Utilities at the utility rate of 7.37 cents per kilowatt-hour. It is
important to note that for the purposes of this report it is assumed that all renewable generation is
consumed on -site; however. Westwood understands that under certain circumstances either of
the two larger projects has the potential to feed power to the utility grid. Subsequent analysis
with Hutchinson Utilities Cormnission will review the impact of feeding pouter to the utility aid.
• Solar 750kW Project: 27 years
• Solar 30k Project: 30 years
City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitabiliy Study ' � t
October 31, 2011
Page 4
• Wind 60WN Project: 15 years
• Wind 55kA'V Project: 24 years
The above payback formula is based on industry standards of 4 °-a energy inflation rate and 1%
general inflation rate. At the request of the City, the report also includes a I% energy inflation
rate.
This report fornns the preliminary basis for understanding the potential opportunities and
constraints for capitalizing on the City's solar and wind resources. A subsequent, more in -depth
feasibility analysis would review next -level details to ensure site compatibility with renewable
energy development. including a full analysis at each site reviewing fatal flaws, environmental
permitting. setbacks, site access and related costs. and the required FAA reviews.
The next level of financial analysis could evaluate the impact of specific private investors and/or
giant opportunities to reduce the overall cost of the projects. Moreover. if the City moves toward
more specific solar and wind energy systems, further review can reevaluate both resources and
any impact on life cycle costs. Subsequent reviews can delve deeper into site- specific
construction and operations costs to better estimate the costs of each project. Additional analysis
can evaluate impacts and opportunities for different utility rate structures. including the financial
implications of feeding power to the local electrical grid.
Finally, the City will want to consider an on -site meteorological tower, or a more in -depth
meteorological study, to provide definitive information regarding the wind resource prior to
purchasing a wind turbine.

9. Life Cycle Costs
9.1, Overview
%Vestwood has prepared a simple payback analysis for each project that incorporates project
capital costs, O &M costs, and projected revenues based on typical energy output. This analysis
assumes the project is a City- o asset_
All projects incorporate a Year 1 capital investment - the initial construction of the project - and
ongoing fixed and variable O &M costs throughout the payback period of the project. Fixed
O &M costs for both project types are a yearly investment based on average NRFL estimates as
outlined above. Wind energy variable O&M cults are an eslimated yearly investment as outlined
above, and solar energy variable O &M consists of the inverter replacement cost in Year 10 -15.
O &M costs are adjusted annually to incorporate a standard 1% inflation rate.
Renewable energy generation revenues are computed by multiplying the annual production of
the system by the established utility rate for that year. Solar energy production degrades b 0.1
annually, while wind production remains stable throughout the project life.
Currently, the utility rate in Year 1 for both the NVRTF and the WTP is $0.0737 per kilowatt -
hour, as established by the City. Westwood understands that there is no seasonal or daily
variation in electricity rates. Given that the WTP and WWTF have near- constant loads. the
interplay of solar and wind can balance the overall renewable resource, with the wind resource
stronger in the night and the solar resource stronger during the day. However. it should be noted
that utilities and grid operators are rending towards time -of -day pricing as they work to balance
their load throughout the day. In these instances, solar becomes the stronger resource given its
more predictable nature and daytime energy source.
Both facilities incur demand charges of $6.00 per M of peak demand. However, without an in-
depth analysis from a full year's worth of data, Westwood is unable to definitively forecast peak
demand savings from an on -site renewable energy system. Additionally, service riders such as a
Standby Service Rider may negate any potential savings and would need to be analyzed to
determine if it is applicable. Therefore, for the purposes of this report, demand charge savings
are not included in this analysis. Demand could be analyzed in conjunction with the utility as a
next step.
For the purposes of this report. Westwood has ittcorpotated the Metfopolitan Council's
suggested annual energy inflation rate of 4% and an inflation rate for costs at 1%. Westwood has
found this inflation rate used in both the wind and solar industries as a common standard.
City staff has asked Westwood to also provide a comparative analysis of life cycle costs using a
P , o inflation rate for energy inflation and to maintain the 3 o inflation rate for costs. It is our
understanding that this rate is based on comments from the Hutchinson Utilities Commission
City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study I 1 (6)
October 31, 2011
Page 53
( "HUC "). The HUC has proposed that their energy inflation rate forecast differs significantly
enough from the Metropolitan Council's to warrant this supplementary analysis.
Finally, it should be noted that as a renewable energy resource, the green attributes of wind and
solar energy can provide a second revenue source to a renewable energy project. Typically
referred to as Renewable Energy Credits or RECs, these attributes can be sold to utilities and
other entities required to meet a Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard or similar program.
However, due to the volatility in the REC market and potentially high transaction costs of such a
sale, no value was assumed in this analysis. In the current analysis, the City would own all
RECs produced by the renewable energy system.
9.2. Life Cycle Costs - Industry Standard Inflation Scenario
The following table shows gross revenues from renewable energy production for each system in
its projected lifetime (20 years for wind, 25 years for solar). This scenario assumes that energy
rates are inflated 4% each year.
System
Gross Revenue
750kW Solar

30kW Solar
5123,365.80
600kW Wind
$3,305,103.73
55kW Wind
5343,483.80
The simple payback analysis is gross expenses (capital costs and O &M) minus gross revenue
(kWh production at the utility rate of 50.0737 %kWh) to arrive at net system revenue. This
scenario assumes that O &M costs are inflated at 3° o each year, and energy rates at 4% each year.
The table below shows the estimated year of payback for each system using this formula.

In order for a project to break even within its projected lifetime, the project must be able to
provide power to a facility at a rate equal to or less than the rate at which the facility buys power
from the utility. The table below shows total system costs in dollars per kWh over the projected
life of the system, incorporating both capital and O &M costs.

This table shows that the 600kW wind turbine system produces power at $0.0703/0Wh, which is
less than the starting utility rate of $0.0737/kWh. According to this analysis, it is the only system
which will generate net revenue within its projected lifetime, at Year 15 out of 20 years.
The RRB 600kVV turbine's primary advantage over solar is its capacity factor, which is a
measure of potential production with an ideal resource (solar radiation or wind speed) versus
actual production at the given resource. The capacity factor of solar PV in this location is
approximately 14 %, while wind energy is approximately 30 %.
This large turbine's advantage over the smaller 55kW turbine is in cost. The Endurance costs
almost twice as much per kWh as the RRB, and this is due to economies of scale in production
and construction of the larger turbine over the smaller one. The 750kW solar systern shows the
same scale advantages over the smaller rooftop solar system.
9.3. Life Cycle Costs —City Inflation Scenario
The following table shows gross revenues from renewable energy production for each system in
its projected lifetime (20 years for wind, 25 years for solar). This scenario assumes that energy
rates are inflated I% each year.

$84,293.23
600kW Wind
$2,443,914.98
SRW Wind
5253,984.52
The simple payback analysis is gross expenses (capital costs and O &M) minus gross revenue
(kWh production at the utility rate of $0.0737 /kWh) to arrive at net system revenue. This
scenario assumes that O &M costs and energy rates are inflated at 3% each year. The table below

This table shows that the 600kW wind turbine system produces power at $0.0703 /kWh, which is
less than the starting utility rate of S0.0737/kWh. According to this analysis, it is the only system
which will generate net revenue within its projected lifetime, at Yew 18 out of 20 years.
9.4. Taxpayer Incentives and Third -Party Ownership
In reviewing life cycle costs for wind and solar projects, we should note that there are certain
federal incentives available to qualifying taxpayers. These federal incentives are the Investment
Tax Credit, the Production Tax Credit, and the Section 1603 Cash Grant. The key component of
all three is that these tax credits and grants are not available to tax - exempt or govemrnent
entities. Moreover, even if an entity is a qualifying taxpayer, with regard to the two tax credits —
the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit — a qualifying applicant must also have
sufficient tax liability to absorb the credits.
A taxpayer may elect to use the Section 1603 Cash Grant in lien of Investment Tax Credit. The
1603 payment will reimburse eligible taxpayers for a portion of the cost of installing energy
property in the form of a cash grant, which is a significant advantage for taxpayers without
sufficient tat liability to absorb tax credits. However, in order to qualify for the cash grant,
recipients must begin construction of the qualifying energy project, such as wind or solar, on or
before December 31, 2011, and must have placed the project in service prior to January 1, 2013,
in addition to other qualifications.
A safe harbor rile under the Section 1603 Cash Grant program allows the project to be treated as
if it were under construction when: (1) physical work of a significant nature has begun; or (2)
more than 5% of the total cost of the property has been paid or incurred prior to December 31,
2011. This grant expires at the end of 2011, so timing is critical in order to qualify for the 1603
Cash Grant.
While the City is not a qualifying taxpayer, there are examples of other like entities working with
eligible taxpayers to develop renewable energy resources and utilize federal incentives.
For example, a private third party may become a part of the renewable energy development by
leasing the City land or the roof of the WTP storage tank. The private entity could then develop
the renewable energy resource, be it wind or solar, and sell the power back to the City. All the
power would be produced behind the meter and interconnect with the buildings. Based on the
preliminary load reviews, the power would be absorbed by the WTP or WWTF and never reach
the utility grid. Depending on the ownership details and relationships, the investor could
contract with the City under a renewable energy service agreement and sometimes would need to
have a contract directly with the utility. We are available to review more detailed options for

third -party investors, depending on the City's goals in prioritizing its renewable resource
development.
9.5. Next Steps
Next steps for the City's life cycle cost analysis include:
1. Update the financial models and work with subcontracted partners to craft potential third -
party ownership structures.
2. Develop preliminary insurance rate structures for each project to expand life cycle cost
analysis.
3. Research electricity rate structures with the utility. Discuss potential changes to rates that
would favor wind and/or solar development (tone -of -day, etc.). Evaluate the benefits of
time -of -day pricing in conjunction with a more reliable renewable resource, such as solar,
and its more consistent production. Evaluate payment options in the event a host facility
feeds power to the grid, and the value of RECs (or equivalent) to the utility.
4. Pursue potential financing sources, including private sources, grant funding and Federal
sources.
5. Develop an RFP for 3 rd Party ownership options, i.e., solicit PPA proposals.

Hutchinson Public Library Board Minutes
Monday, August 22, 2011
Present: Guy Stone, Abby Dahlquist, Roger Vacek, Dianne Wanzek, Mary Christensen, Jon Ross, and
Mary Henke, Ex- Officio. Stacey Nass was absent
Guy Stone called the meeting to order. The minutes from the last meeting were reviewed. Jon moved
the minutes be approved and Roger seconded the motion. Motion passed.
PLS Executive /Finance Committee meeting was held on Aug 18 with another on Sept 22; the next full
PIS Board meeting is Oct 20, 2011. Roger will attend the full board meeting on Oct 20.
Old Business
1. Winsted head librarian position: Pioneerland has appointed Mary Henke interim head
librarian of both Hutchinson and Winsted for period of Sept 1 to Sept 22. Marywill use part
time folks to do some of the duties she did in Hutchinson while she covers Winsted' head
librarian's duties. The city of Winsted has a few more days to request to have their own
librarian rather than sharing with Hutchinson. Final appointment will be made by the PLS
executive committee on Sept 22.
2. Computer downloadable E -books and audiobooks: A workshop will be held at the library
on Aug 25 at 7 PM to conduct a hands -on session on the use of the downloadable a -books
and audiobooks system at the Hutchinson Library. Mary Jo Morgan of Barnes and Noble will

Hutchinson Leader.
New Business

Lori Ortega is now the assistant director and her focus is directing the PLS librarians. Mark's contract is
for 6 months and he also directs Plum Creek Library System while covering Pioneerland.
2. City request for options in providing Library service: Mary reviewed the various options and
penalties involved in going on alternate routes for Hutchinson Library service. By not belonging to a
regional library system, State and Federal funds would be eliminated; book purchases costs would
increase 40% and the current circulation & catalogue system would cease — with no low cost alternate
readily available.
3. Author Visit: Lisa Wysocky from Nashville will be the guest speaker on Sept 27 at the
Hutchinson Library. She is a Nashville author who is a equine clinician and motivational speaker. The

We Have a Lot to Be Thankful For In America
To: Citizens of the Hutchinson Fire District, Web -Site Visitors, and Our Face Book Friends
From: Brad Emans, Fire Chief
Date: 11/01/2011
Re: Monthly Update on the Activities of the Hutchinson Fire Department for October 2011
Fire Department Response: The Fire Department responded to 36 calls for service in the month of
October.
Fire Officer Only Response: A "fire officer only' responded to 11 calls in October saving the
Hutchinson Fire District the cost of a "general" alarm estimated at $2,002.00 for the month.
Response Time (First Emergency Vehicle Out of the Door): October -4 minutes 33 seconds.
Example of a Few of the Calls:
• The FD responded to a minor commercial fire in the central part of the city when a discarded
cigarette started woodchips and PVC rain gutter on fire. No damage was done to the building,
• The FD responded to what turned out to be a "controlled bum" by the property owner, a passerby
called in the fire. The individual indicated that he forgot to call in his bum permit;
• The FD responded to a possible fire in a commercial building in the southwest part of the city.
Firefighters investigated and were able to locate an electrical problem causing the strong smoke
smell;
• The FD responded to a leaf pile fire in the street in the southwest part of the city. It was determined
that a passerby improperly discarded a cigarette. No damage was caused by the fire;
• The FD responded to a DOA in the northeast part of the city. Apparently the rules have changed
regarding ambulance response to DOA's, they are no longer allowed to move a DOA victim thus
the fire department responds to assist after the death investigator arrives;
• The FD responded to a com field fire in the rural fire district when a fanner was chopping com
stalks and hit a rock. No damage was done;
• The FD responded to a possible natural gas leak and /or carbon monoxide leak. Upon arrival a very
high CO reading was detected on the FD detector. The twin home was evacuated, ventilation was
set up and firefighters in SCBAs entered the home to locate the source;
The FD responded to a car vs. tractor accident, no extrication was needed and fortunately the
victims suffered only minor injuries.
