The assessments were deferred at that time. Now that the area has been annexed, the assessments will need to be activated. The property owners will have 30 days from this date to pay by October 8 without interest, with certification on October 10.

Inquired why he had received two notices. City Engineer The City Engineer drew a map on the chalk- board showing the area involved. He commented one notice was a preliminary and the secdd was the final notice. Another letter had been sent to property owners informing them of an additional 30 days for payment of assessments. John Mlinar Commented that since Clifton Heights is now in the City, they should no longer be assessed for county tile. Made reference to the change in Project 81 -10, Section B,and the reduction of cost per square foot. Wanted to know if there would also be a reduction of cost on this..proj- ect. Stated he was not speaking against-'the two projects but only had concerns about them. Stated the trunk installed in 1980 is at its capacity. Expressed concern about foresight of additional area draining into that storm sewer. - City Engineer Reported the fringe area to the north was changed due to opposition by property owners to the project. The cost design reduced the cost of the project. Roman Haas Expressed concern about laterals. Wanted to know if the laterals were large enough to handle excessive water on Highway 7. Mayor Westlund summarized that these two assessment rolls were being con- sidered for activation inasmuch as Clifton Heights has been annexed. The two alternatives would be to not activate the rolls or to adopt the two as- sessment rolls. The.motion was made by Alderman Beatty to close the hearing at 8:30 P.M.

Mr. Priebe addressed the question raised regarding a county tile line in Clifton Heights. He reported the present private storm sewer line will be left in place and present intakes taken off. Roman Haas wanted to know what is going to happen, and if the line will be damaged when the lines are going through. The City Engineer responded that if any sections are damaged, they will be replaced. John Mlinar then inquired if the Council had approved the final plat foxes= Clifton Heights and if any changes had been made since the properties were annexed. He further asked about drawings of where the utilities would be installed, the plat of water mains, sewers, etc., and the final grade of the road. He made reference to the topography.

Also present: City Administrator Plotz, City Accountant Merrill, Parks and Recreation Director Ericson, and Attorney Ron McGraw. Attorney McGraw presented the position of Leonard Miller regarding property along the Crow River south of Second Avenue. Mr. Miller has offered to sell the property for a price of $10,000.00. It is noted that there is a deferred assessment of ap- proximately $16,000.00 on the acreage. Mayor Westlund stated that it was very doubtful if the deferred assessment would ever be paid to the City inasmuch as the majority of the property is within the flood plain. Mr. Ron McGraw stated that if the assessment question is litigated, there would be undoubtably much legal cost on the part of all parties. However, he indicated that it would be a good purchase for the City inasmuch as it has been a goal to acquire river frontage. After discussion, Alderman Beatty made the motion to enter into a contract to pur- chase said property owned by Leonard Miller south of Second Avenue for a purchase price of $10,000.00 with an initial contract for deed payment of $2,400.00 on Jan- uary 1, 1982; furthermore, to authorize a lease agreement between Mr. Miller and the City to maintain the land within the requirements of the City's ordinances, includ- ing the weed ordinance. The motion was seconded by Alderman Lueneburg. Alderman Gruenhagen clarified that the City would retain the right to terminate the lease agreement at any time; and furthermore; that the land would not be limited to park purposes.

It is our feeling that a combined effort would have the greatest impact and greatest use. The brochure will be a compilation of the lakes in our area, showing what type of fishing, recreational and camping facilities.and county parks are available. With the addition of the Lake Marion Camp Ground, we feel our area has much to offer and no sophisticated tool to draw people to our facilities. Our plans are to approach several different sources of funding: the cities, the county and the state and that an amount of money of approximately $2,500 be allocated to this brochure. The project will be developed over the winter months and be available in the spring, coinciding with the fishing and camping season. We are asking the city of Hutchinson to include in their 1982 budget a figure of from $400.00 - $600.00 to develop this brochure. Sincerely, ` 5 larice A. sten Executive Vice President Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce CAC:mk September 11, 1981 Dear City Council Members:. For the past three summers, the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce has organized summer band concerts for the community in cooperation with the city of Hutchinson. The concerts have been widely varied and well accepted by the citizens who have expressed appreciation for our united efforts. We want these concerts to continue, and in fact be improved, to give them wider appeal. In order to do this, it will be necessary to obtain greater help from the city of Hutchinson for the 1982 summer. The amount of money we have received for the past three years is identical to the amount budgeted during the years when only the High School Band participated. During the past series, the program went over budget by $300.00. Costs have increasbd,: and we are now attracting professional musicians. It would be unfortunate if, after three summers of building the public's acceptance of the concert series, we would have to reduce either the quantity or quality of the series. Also, as plans progress for downtown development around library square, we will all be very happy that we have a pleasant summer program in tact for the square. We have pursued alternate financing help for the series, through SMACH, a reginal arts council for the state, but have been told that they felt we were not eligible for various reasons. For the last three years, we have received $1,000.00 each summer. Based on the fact that we went over budget this past summer and also that we want to attract better quality bands that will be significantly more expensive, we are requesting that city council budget $1,650.00 for the summer of 1982.

Several accidents have occurred at that location, one personal injury accident occurred on Friday, September 18, 1981. Residents also have stated that there have been many near - misses at that location as a result of not having a stop sign there. All other intersections along Monroe Street have stop signs and it is confusing and dangerous not to have Monroe Street at 3rd Avenue Southeast dt signed. t 0 ORDINANCE NO. 20/81 ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 301:30 SUBD. 3 OF THE 1974 ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, ENTITLED BUILDING PERMITS, EXPIRATION.

Vea Mayo& 6 -J-1 ow .'rr�:'..�, 0�618g 10 2 CU SEP 1981 RECEIVED sz Mr. Ralph Westlund, Mayer City of Hutchinson City Hall Hutchinson, MN 55350 Dear Ralph: 10 September 1981 It bas became necessary for me to resign from the Hutchinson Airport Advisory Board because of the conflict between the tuning of the board meetings and my normal productive working hours. As you probably know, I am now a district representative for Lutheran Brotherhood, and the aizport4mrd meeting times fall smack -dab in the middle of the prime selling time of the day. Altbougb one day per month is not the greatest disaster in the world, it still constitutes about six percent of my available selling evenings. Further, because the meetings are not usually scheduled until sometime after I have scheduled interviews for the same evening, it is necessary to miss most board meetings in order to keep nq appointments. You may recall that I am also a member of the joint city - county zoning commission, fran which I am not at this time tendering my resignation (unless you want it). If it would ever get moving again, its work mi*ut be sufficiently important for me to be willing to sacrifice a few evenings on its behalf. In addition, it is probable that its meetings would be scheduled sufficiently far in advance so I could avoid making appointments for those dates. Because of the change of occupations and the drastic drop in income- attendant with starting an insurance career, I have not been flying much lately. I an therefore no longer familiar with the activities of local pilots so that I could recommend a replacement on the airport board. I would like to see the joint city - county zoning camdssion finish the zoning procedure; the longer it waits the more vulnerable the airport will became to complaints about noise and potential hazard. Zoning for the cross -rind moray would have tended to keep . _ settlement around the airport further away than will be the case with a single runway, but that is not what I bad in mind at the time I was championing it. I've enjoyed working on the airport board and zoning cotmission. My views have not always been enthusiastically received but I think you have to say what you believe or you might just as well be replaced with a sack of chicken feed. If you are still wielding the gavel a couple of years down the road, when I have a bit more flexibility in my available time, I'd be pleased to accept some other responsibility in serving the community.

The chairman of the parking committee, Mr. Ted Beatty, then gave a presentation using the overhead. He explained that all business property within the downtown district would be assessed but that all church or residential property would not be assessed until such time it becomes business. A chart was presented (see attached) showing the need for an additional 387 parking spaces. He then gave three examples .(see attached) using the parking formula. The parking program has been revised from $1,500,000 to $1,250,000 which will provide an estimated 570 additional spaces. The debt retirement of the program was then briefly gone over using a payback of 15/20 years. The city's portion being $500,000 from tax incre- ment from area 4 and $750,000 being paid from special assessments.

Mr. Plotz announced that a public notice would be printed in the newspaper of this meeting. It was decided that if at all possible, members of the Downtown Development Advisory Board should try and attend this meeting.

City Administrator Plotz explained this area is part of the old Fifth Avenue Northwest. The City has no use for it and if vacated, it would automatically go to the adjacent property owner. It will not affect anyone else. This would allow a home to be built on the corner lot. After discussion the hearing was closed at 7:36 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty. Seconded by Bill Backen, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the request to vacate a portion of Kouwe Street.

The zoning for this property is R -2 so the setbacks required would be six (6) feet. 4 ��) Minutes - Page 2 Hutchinson Planning Commission August 18, 1981 The hearing was closed at 7:38 P.M. on motion by Bill Backen. Seconded by Ted Beatty, the motion carried unanimously. Elsa Young then made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the requested conditional use permit. Seconded by Ted Beatty, the motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY "TY'S METAL INC." The hearing was opened at 7:39 P.M. by Chairman Erickson with the reading of publication # 2805 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, August 7, 1981. Mr. Plotz explained since this property is located in a IC -1 zone, a conditional use permit is required. Discussion followed concerning parking. Using the formula in our zoning ordinance one space per every two employees, 19 spaces would be required for parking. Mr. Richard Desens, representing Ty's Metal Inc., stated their would be a maximum of 38 people at any one time employed there. It was pointed out to Mr. Desens that this parking lot would need hard surface of six (6)" gravel base and two (2) inches of blacktop. The hearing was closed at 7:45 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty. Sec- onded by Clint Tracy, the motion unanimously carried. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval of the re- quested conditional use permit to the City Council. Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion carried unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS (a) PRESENTATION OF LANDSCAPING PLAN FOR OUTLET A & B IN HUTCHINSON MALL Mr. Plotz explained that Developers Diversified had agreed to have a five (5) foot high berm 50' wide with landscaping for outlet A & B of the Hutchinson Mall. This has to be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council before a certificate of occupancy can be issued. After discussion, it was agreed that the engineering department should check that the exact height of the berm is 5 feet so no neighboring property owners would complain later. It was also decided that a drop could begin from a setback of 30 feet and be acceptable for a safety factor. i Minutes - Page 3 Hutchinson Planning Commission i August 18, 1981 Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval of the landscape plan of the Hutchinson Mall to the City Council. Seconded by Clint Tracy, the motion unanimously carried. 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) DISCUSSION REQUESTED BY KEN TENNEY ON VARIANCE REQUEST FOR PROPOSED DUPLEX ON KOUWE STREET FROM REQUIRED AREA (APPROX. 200 SQ. FT.) Mr. Tenney explained he wanted to construct a duplex on a lot on Kouwe Street which is approximately 200 square feet short of the required 10,000 square feet. After discussion, it was determined that the ordinance states that certain conditions pertaining to a hardship must be met for a var- iance. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission members present these conditions were not evident in this case. Also this would be setting a precedent for further similar situations. The Commission unanimously felt this request should not be pursued. (b) DISCUSSION ON ADDING NEW SECTION TO ZONING ORDINANCE ON MOBILE HOME PARKS & MANUFACTURED HOUSING PUD Each of the Planning Commission members had received in their packet a copy of an article published in a newspaper from the City of Owatonna showing an amendment to their city ordinance adding a zone R -3 for "Mobile Home Parks and Manufactured Housing PUD Dist- rict ". After discussion, the Planning Commission members felt that staff should contact other cities in Minnesota for additional data on this matter. (c) CONSIDERATION OF FINAL PLAT FOR SCHMIDTBAUER'S SECOND ADDITION City Engineer Marlow Priebe stated their were no changes from the preliminary plat. After brief discussion, Mr. Ted Beatty made a `- motion to recommend approval of the final plat for Schmidtbauer's Second Addition. Seconded by Clint Tracy, the motion unanimously carried. (d) DISCUSSION ON REZONING REQUESTED BY DR. KUEHL Dr. Kuehl explained to the Planning Commission members his desire to extend the commercial zoning on three sides of his property to include his property so he could move his chiropractic business from its present location to his home. In years to come he would also want to convert his residence to office space. r Minutes - Page 4 Hutchinson Planning Commission August 18, 1981 After discussion on parking he was told to go ahead with the normal procedure of application and submit a detailed site survey to the city and a public hearing would be set. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty and sec- onded by Clint Tracy. The motion unanimously carried. C� TREE BOARD MINUTES August 19, 1981 • Members present were Mrs. Axel Jensen, Michael Carls, and Mark Schnobrich. Representing Jerry Brown was Mrs. Carol Brown. Members absent were Roy Johnsen, and Ivan Larson. Due to lack of a quorem, no recommendations to council were established. Topical items discussed with members present were the present and future condition of Library Square in regards to it's plant materials. If considerable construction was to take place in the square, future plantings of trees could be postponed until construction was completed. Memorial trees, trees planted in rememberance of a loved one, was also discussed. Mrs. D.J. Black requested that the city allow her to plant a tree in rememberance of her husband in Library Square. Members present agreed Mrs. Black should be allowed to plant a tree even though the future of Library Square is in question. Should relandscaping of the square take place, the tree could be moved. The wood utilization project was briefly discussed with no conclusions being reached.

McGill, C.P.A. documents forwarded to me by Mr. Robert Willette of First Corporate Anger 1.Ocei, C.P.A. Services, Inc. All of these documents pertain to the proposed tax exempt mortgage for a Travel Host Motor Inn in Hutchinson. Based upon the information and projections, the project appears to be financially viable. We have not audited or reviewed any of the financial information submitted to us and we have not examined any underlying documentation used to prepare this financial information. We do not express any opinion as to the correctness of any financial statements or projections involved with this project. The statements furnished to us were as follows: Travel Host of Hutchinson - Three Year Projections General Partnership Agreement Travelwise Motel, Inc. - Financial Statements for 1977 Ottertail Motel Corporation - Financial Statements for 1978 and 1979 Travel Host Motor Inns of America - Financial Statements for the year ended August 31, 1980 Personal Financial Statements: David and Donna Johnson - March 19, 1981 Ervin Strande - January 7, 1981 John and Roberta Klinkhammer - December 15, 1980 Glen and Joan Moen - January 15, 1981 Harry and Carol Peterson - February 1, 1981 It could not be determined from the personal financial statements whether or not the individuals have personally guaranteed notes or obligations of other projects they are involved with. It appears that the individuals to be involved in the project have adequate net worth to be involved as partners in this project. Also, none of the financial statements include any of the financial transactions for the Travel Host Motor Inn of Northfield because these transactions were consumated subsequent to the dates of the various financial statements.

Opportunity Employer' Sep ember 22, 1981 Mayor Ralph Westlund and City Council Members 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 Honorable Mayor Westlund and City Council Members: The Board of Directors of Hutchinson Community Hospital at their regular August meeting received and reviewed a recommendation from the hospital staff regarding authorization to bid the second phase of our energy management program. This phase deals entirely with modifications to the major air handling units throughout the hospital. The primary objective of the modification is to recover the heat that is presently being exhausted into the atmosphere. You may recall from a previous presentation to the Council that the hospital applied for energy monies from the federal government and was granted funding in the amount of 500 of our request. It is anticipated that these modifications will cost approximately $30,000. $15,000 of that amount will be paid from the depreciation fund of the hospital and the remainder from federal grant monies. The hospital, at this time, is asking only for authorization to bid this second phase. The following reflects the motion from the hospital board of directors meeting of August 20, 1981: "Motion was made by Goebel to request authority of the City Council to bid the second phase of the energy management program (air handling unit modifications) at a cost not to exceed $30,000 ($15,000 hospital fund - $15,000 federal funds). Motion was seconded by Fogg. All were in favor. Motion passed." Thank you, in advance, for your consideration of the above - mentioned matter. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

P1otz, City Administrator 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Minnesota 5535Q Dear Mr. Plotz: Subject: State Aid For Airport Maintenance And Operation Enclosed are three copies of a proposed form of resolution and the agreement for requesting State Aid for maintaining your airport during all seasons of the year up to June 30, 1983. We are often displeased at the quality of maintenance provided at publicly - owned airports. There are an increasing number of damaged and burned out runway and taxiway lights, grass that needs mowing.and runways, taxiways and ramp areas that have not been plowed or plowed properly. For this reason and because of a number of requests for increased participation due to rising costs, the maximum amount of State Aid will be increased as noted in the Agreement. For maintenance and operation during the year, the State will participate on a 66 2%3 percent basis not to exceed the amount of State Aid set forth in the Agreement for the cost of snowplowing, mowing, fertilizing, re- seeding, rehabilitating runway lights, landing strip markers and drainage system, and general maintenance of the runways, taxiways and apron areas. Reimbursement will be based on actual time and cost records kept by the Muni- cipality. Prior to any reimbursement being made by the State, the Municipality must have a zoning authority established and such authority must have adopted or be in the process of adopting an Airport Zoning Ordinance in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 360.061 to 360.074. Reimbursement may be denied entirely or inpart if the airport is not properly maintained. If you desire State assistance and agree to comply with the requirements of the Agreement, please complete and submit three copies of the Agreement and three copies of the resolution to this office so State funds can be encumbered. An approved copy will be. returned to you for your records. It is particularly important during the winter and spring seasons, or when hazardous conditions may exist, to keep the air. - traveling public informed of the status or condition of your airport. This is accomplished by notifying the nearest Federal Aviation Administration Flight Service Station and this department. Sincerely, ichard 11.

Attest: Clerk: �Nf1nn Municipality: City of Hutchinson Mayor: (612) 587 -5151 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark Schnobrich DATE: September 21, 1981 SUBJECT: Elmwood Utilization Project Elm firewood can now be safely and legally treated for the spread of Dutch Elm disease with the use of an approved insecticide. The City of Hutchinson now has the option of allowing local citizens the access to elm firewood without the costly and time consuming debarking procedure. With this in mind, I would like to propose the following program. In cooperation with the McLeod County Parks, the City of Hutchinson imp - liment a wood utilization program consisting of purchasing and applying the insecticide Dursban 2E to potential elm firewood. Once this wood is treated allow local citizens the access to the treated wood via a cost, permit sys- tem. Citizens would-be allowed to cut and store this wood within the city limits in accordance with the issued permit they would receive. At present, the allowance of bark intact elmwood is prohibited by ordinance No. 578, Section 1021, which states that no elmwood with bark attached shall be allowed within the city limits of Hutchinson. An amendment to the exsisting ordinance would allow citizens of Hutchin -__ son the right to control and store bark intact elmwood that has been properly treated and has the approved permit authorized by the City of Hutchinson or McLeod County Parks. Persons without such authorization would not be allowed to store bark intact elmwood. Each permit is subject to an expiration date and the use of the chemical insecticide Dursban is restricted to use by municipal and county personnel conducting a shade tree disease control program in accordance with Minnesota Statute 18.023 as amended. The Tree Board and myself feel this project is a safe effective way of providing more useable wood to the citizens of Hutchinson without jeopardiz- ing our exsisting.population of elms. 0 i (612) 587 -5151 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O DATE: September 21, 1981 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Director of Engineering, Planning & Protective Inspections RE: T. H. 7 & 22 Storm Sewer Line Repair It was brought to our attention recently, by Minnesota Department of Transportation personnel, that the storm sewer line crossing T.H. 7 & 22 west of the junction of Main Street, is in need of repair. When we met with them, we discussed a possible repair procedure and have applied at the Willmar Office for a permit to make the repair and have them assist us in detouring the traffic. To date we have done all the planning based on the City doing the repair at an estimated cost of $9,000.00. Since our meeting, I have checked our files and find that the line in question is part of the McLeod County Ditch No. 31. We do have some facilities that connect to it, however, the question is who should be responsible for the repair. I have informed Commissioner Wendorff of the problem with the line; and if we are to discuss this further we should meet with him.

Hutchinson, MN 55350 RE: Downton Parking Dear Council Members: Enclosed please find a copy of Section 720 of the Hutchinson's City Ordinances. This section deals with parking meters in the downtown district. As you can see I have made several extensive alterations in this section in order to accommodate the removal of the parking meters from the Hutch- inson Business District. I have established a Downtown Parking District and the days and time restrictions on parking within that district may be established with resolution. If the ordinance as altered meets with your approval, we will have it formally drafted in the appropriate form. In accordance with the revised Section 720, I would suggest a resolution establishing the rules and regulations for that Downtown Parking District be worded as follows: "It shall be unlawful for any firm, person, or corporation to park a motor vehicle or other vehicle in the City of Hutchinson with- in the Downtown Parking District as defined by Section 720:05 for a longer period of time than two (2) hours, starting at 9:00 o'clock A.M. and continuing to 5:00 o'clock P.M. on any day except Sunday." Respectfully submitted, James H. Schaefer Assistant City Attorney JHS:ka Enclosure ?_Z,71�v 1 Enfortment Alternatives -- Parking • 1. Full Enforcement - 1 person and vehicle 48 hours per week, approximate cost - $20,000 per year From my point of view, this presents the least enforcement problems, because of the additional personnel we-wil• }-have an enforcement effort that is effective and would lend itself to the least criticism as we could be very consistent and efficient- 2. Half -time additional person and use of current personnel I person with vehicle, $10,000 per year and vehicle. 20 hours per week and use of current personnel to compliment them. 3. Random Enforcement Use of current personnel, no additional cost, no vehicle, 20 hours per week. This is the cheapest way but not as effective and is apt to bring criticism for being 'hit and miss.' I would characterize this approach as being the same as our method of enforcing meters. 4. No Enforcement Just let it go and see what happens. Issue warnings and follow up with a campaign (radio, newspaper) to convince people to comply and use off street parking. Put pressure on merchants and employees to park off - street. q-1mi, Section 720:00 ., • Dower +awn Park :��.�'�� Section 720 - Section 720 :00. Definitions. Subd. 1.

The County Board considered the matter of redistricting several months ago in a discussion at a Board meeting with the then County Auditor, Clarence Schultz. The 1980 population figures for each of the existing commissioner's districts was reviewed, and it was determined by the Board and the Auditor that no redistricting would be necessary. Each of the existing districts is well within the 10 per cent variance allowed by statute. To obtain the exact population figures for each district, you may want to call the Auditor's Office.

There were 10 members present. The meeting was called to order with a silent prayer by President Myron Johnson. No bills were presented and the minutes were approved as read. President Johnson introduced our guest speaker', Janet Wegfield, a representative with the local cable TV. She spoke about access programing available in Hutchinson and showed some cable TV programs and we viewed the'safety program Myron was on and how we should go about making and producing a program. There is no charge for this unless we buy our own tapes for future use. A general discussion was held on the following items: 1. Cable programs on channel 7; how to proceed; what you want people to see; how to get programs organized. 2. Trees on Lake & Roberts Road -could be a hazard to school bus drivers. 3. Have a city coulcil member here to hear safety complaints for direct communications. 4. Workers at the fair booth stated the need for a larger space and for a place for people to set and view the film; next year show cable TV safety tapes; have a CPR actual demonstration; have a traffic safety officer present. 5. More discussion on the fair booth at the future meetings. The next meeting will be on September 21, at the Prairie House. The meeting was adjourned by motion.

The administration has proposed zero funding for FY 1982 unless certain reforms in this program are adopted. Congress is currently working on such reforms, including the possible revision of the grant eligibility criteria and a possible phased reduction, in the federal share. If the reforms are adopted, the administration has said that it will request $2.4 billion for FY 1982. Equally crucial to the continuation of the program is the inclusion of provisional budget authority for it in the second budget resolution which is scheduled to be completed by the end of September. Currently there is no funding authorized in the 1982 budget for the Wastewater Treatment Construction Grants Program. Once the reform legislation has been adopted, the program may continue without interruption only if funding has been authorized in the second budget resolution. If the second budget resolution does not include budget authority for the program, funding will not be considered until next Spring, regardless of whether the aforementioned reforms have been passed. Obviously this delay would cause problems for cities already involved in the program and reduce the viability of the program altogether. Work is being completed now on both the reform bills and the second budget resolution. Speedy adoption of reform legislation should signal to the budget committee members the importance of this program and thus pressure them to include provisional budget authority in the second budget resolution. Representative Jim Oberstar, a member of the Public Works and Transportation Committee which is drafting 'the reform legislation, is supportive of including provisional budget authority for this program. The second budget resolution will probably be out by the last week of September. The Senate Budget Committee is working on the bill this week -, however, so it is crucial that concerned persons contact their senators this week urging them to support continued funding of this program. Senator Boschwitz is a member of the Senate Budget Committee, thus his support will be crucial. Work is also proceeding in the House Budget Committee, where the support of House Budget Committee member Bill Frenzel will be equally important.

The intent of this project was to demonstrate the effectiveness of known Dutch elm disease management practices when applied in an urban environment. These six cities were given financial and technical aid to- incorporate prompt tree removal, root graft barrier placement, therapeutic pruning, and systemic fungicide injection into their shade tree programs. It is now well into the fourth year of this demonstration program of which your city is a participant. The time has come to thank you, the members of the City Council, for the efforts you have made to support and carry -on the City's shade tree projects. Even with the additional financial and technical aid given by the demonstration program, the progress made toward suppressing Dutch elm disease would not have been as great if it hadn't been for the involvement of municipal leaders. The combined efforts of city and state personnel have elevated the City's tree removal program to a high level sanitation program, enabling the disease incidence to be maintained at a manageable level. The results of this work have provided information to answer the questions of "how much" and "how practical is it" to implement disease management practices, singly or in combination. This information is not only of benefit to your City but can help other communities across the nation facing similar problems with Dutch elm disease. The struggle against Dutch elm disease is not easy. It is a problem that appears to have no solution. The progress the City has made against this disease is summed -up nicely by the old saying, "We have won the battle but we have yet to win the war ". A short time ago, people were so attuned to hearing about the threat of Dutch elm disease that they automatically visualized stump -lined boulevards whenever it was mentioned. This image is fading, however, and we AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Hutchinson City Council September 10, 1981 Page Two are faced with people becoming complacent about the disease and no longer regarding it as the enemy it once was. Widespread victories against Dutch elm disease have led many people to believe that its destructiveness is a thing of the past. The crisis, however, is still not over, for the disease has not been eliminated, but only suppressed. Dutch elm disease is a lurking shadow just waiting for the chance to encroach once more upon city streets. I urge the City Council to continue its support of the shade tree program so that losses due to Dutch elm disease can be kept at financially manageable levels. New trees must also be planted to take the place of those that are removed. Dutch elm disease will resume its rapid spread if not checked, and this time it will be impossible to stop. Thank you for your efforts in managing Dutch elm disease. Please continue to help maintain and improve your City's urban forest.
