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.

Mary Christensen — Council Member Christensen noted that citizens have been asking her about having a dog park located in the city.

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. 9L) DIRECTORS REPORT - PLANNING DEPARTMENT To: Hutchinson Planning Commission From: Planning Staff Date: October 3, 2011, for October 18, 2011, Planning Commission Meeting Application: Annexation — Tim and Becky Albrecht property, 1454 Jefferson St SE Applicant: Tim and Becky Albrecht, property owners ANNEXATION —1.52 acres The property owners are requesting annexation of 1.52 acres due to a failing septic system.

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. 1 ( cage) MEMORANDUM POLICE / EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES 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. . /blm 2011 -01 -0029 9 c-) c!c�a1 I11 Hassan Street Southeast Hutchinson, MN 55350 (320) 587 -515 UPax: (320) 234-4240 Q 1 16 a 1. 1 f4' D.b. fC1J�� ,�" L OrrJ, t etc t License Fee: yp Operating Operating Year: City of Hutchinson Application for Massage Service License Business I �t n Business Name "1 ( 1 J .

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 City of Hutchinson, 111 Hassan St SE, Hutchinson MN 55350 P: 320 - 587 -5151 F: 320 - 234.4240 I �� 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 based on financial analyses. Rates for 2011 Rates have been increased by approximately 8.0% for 2011 to include a 3.0% inflationary increase (ENR Cost Index for Minneapolis) and 5% market adjustment to reflect a 10 -year goal (through 2011) to reach the rate determined as part of the financial analysis noted above. SAC (Sewer Availability Charge) $2,300 per SAC Unit WAC (Water Availability Charge) $11.750 per WAC Unit TOTAL SAC/WAC CHARGE $4,050 PER SAC/WAC UNIT SAC/WAC Fee Collection SAC and WAC fees will be collected with the Building Permit for any new construction that has not previously paid a trunk fee. The fees shall also apply to expansions of existing buildings, redevelopment of existing City parcels, and changes in building use or zoning, that either increases the size or use of the sanitary sewer and water works systems.

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 Land and Energy DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS M A I N N N E A N N E E M 11 I October 31, 2011 Page 2 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.

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 Page 3 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. City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study ) ) Lo October 31, 2011 Page 52 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 $2,996,872.78 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. System Year of Payback Projected System Lifetime 750kW Solar Year 27 25 years 30kW Solar Year 30 25 years 600kW Wind Year 15 20 years 55k Wind Year 24 20 years 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. System Total Cost/kNF'h Lifetime 750kW Solar $0.1338 30kW Solar $0.1557 600kW Wind $0.0703 MW Wind $0.1355 City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study 1 1 (b) October 31, 2011 Page 54 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. System Gross Revenue 750kW Solar $2,047,699.62 30kW Solar $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 shows t11e estimated year of payback for each system using this formula.

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 City of Hutchinson Preliminary Renewable Energy Suitability Study ) I �0 October 31, 2011 Page 56 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.

Division Reports Electric — Steve Lancaster • MPCA Public Notice on Draft /Proposed Air Emission Facility Permit published in the Hutchinson Leader today for a 30 -day public review Pheriod. The permit action is for modification and operation of the facility at 44 4 n Avenue NE. • Received three internal applications for the crew chief position. Finance — Jared Martig • Nothing to report Legal Update Nothing to report Unfinished Business • Joint Action Agency — Nothing to Report • City of Hutchinson IT Position — Ideas were discussed with a decision to have a follow -up meeting to discuss viable solutions. • Green Rate — Nothing to Report • Natural Gas Feasibility — GM Kumm discussed this does not make business sense at this time as: 1) need more vehicles available to run on natural gas; only one at this time, and 2) need more public fill stations. Also, people would need to drive at least 15,000 to 16,000 miles per year to see a return after installing a vehicle conversion kit. New Business • Electronic File Access for Commissioners — Vice President Nordin asked the Commission of their opinion of a better way to store, access and share packets, policies, and update information.

There being no further business, a motion was made by Secretary Bordson, seconded by Vice President Nordin to adjourn the meeting at 4:35 p.m. Motion was unanimously carried.

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.

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.
