sewer and appurtenances was done during this calendar year. He pointed out
that although there were 45 property owners listed on Roll No. 86, many of
them will be deferred since they are outside the city limits at this time.

City policy on storm sewers.

8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL NO. 79, ITEM NO. 17, FOR PATRICK M. MIKULECKY
(DEFERRED AUGUST 26, 1980)
City Engineer Priebe stated that Project 79 -03 was handled in the same manner
as other city projects for curb and gutter have been done for the past seven
years.
Pat Mikulecky commented the subdivision agreement did not mention driveway.
Also, the Council minutes did not refer to driveway, but rather said curb
and gutter only. One year later the description 6f the project was changed
to include "appurtenances." He felt he was not legally notified of a drive-
way apron, and he could have saved money by having the work done locally.
City Engineer Priebe pointed out that if the structure had been built after
the curb and gutter had been put in, it would be up to the property owner to
place the apron. The apron is required when there is a curb and gutter pro-
ject. At the time the subdivision agreement is worked out, the land is bare.
The driveway approach is on City right -of -way.
City Attorney Schantzen stated he didn't think the wording of the project
was significant; the driveway panel is included as part of the curb and gut-
ter project. The notice received by Mikulecky was proper, whether the word
"appurtenances" was stated or not.
Mr. Mikulecky inquired about the procedure for filing with District Court
td appeal the assessment.

COUNCIL MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 9, 1980
The motion was made by Alderman Beatty to close the hearing at 9:20 P.M.
Seconded by Alderman Beatty, the motion carried unanimously.
It was moved by Alderman Beatty, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen and unani-
mously carried, to adopt Assessment Roll No. 79, Item No. 17.
(b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY CLARENCE FREITAG TO SELL WESTERLY 150 FEET OF
LOT 81, LYNN ADDITION WITH EASEMENT FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS TO LYNN ROAD
(DEFERRED AUGUST 26, 1980)
City Engineer Priebe presented a report on the Subdivision of Lot 81, Lynn
Addition. After reviewing elevation maps prepared by private engineers, it
was his recommendation to install a storm sewer system to Milwaukee Avent
from the Westerly side of the lot. This would require rebuilding a perm
nent street. The estimated cost would be $8,690. In a similar situation,
the property owner paid for the expense of putting in the storm sewer.
Fire Marshal Field stated there would be adequate fire protection servic4F'
to a house on the back lot.
Mr. John Swanson expressed concern about a possible drainage problem. Also,
the location of the driveway could present snow removal problems.
City Engineer Priebe commented a catch basin could prevent water from going
into basements in the area.
It was the consensus of the Council that the cost of the storm sewer should
be the responsibility of Mr. Clarence Freitag.
The motion was made by Alderman Gruenhagen to table the matter to the next
meeting and have staff meet with Mr. Clarence Freitag to discuss the cost
of the storm sewer system. Seconded by Alderman Beatty, the motion unani-
mously carried.
(c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (PUD AMENDMENT) SUBMITTED
BY ELDRED MILLER WITH FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION, WITH
CONTINGENCIES (DEFERRED AUGUST 26, 1980)
Mayor Westlund stated the developer and members of the Miller Townhouse Asso-
ciation had reached an agreement on the PUD amendment since the last Council
meeting. He then read the letter received, which stated the Miller Townhouse
Association unanimously accepted a basic change in building size. Instead of
one building with eight living units, two buildings with two living units and
two buildings with three living units would be built. The exterior architec-
ture will be similar to the existing two buildings, with design and any changes
approved by the Architectural Committee of the Association.

COUNCIL MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 9, 1980
Mr. Jim McClure, Vice President of Miller, Miller & Mac, commented that the
members in the Association have to approve anything done by the developer and
builders. He felt this was a fair way to operate. The amended plan will be
a "mix" of townhouse and condominium.
After discussion, Alderman Beatty. moved to waive reading and adopt Resolu-
tion No. 6599 entitled Resolution Granting Conditional Use Permit Under Sec-
tion 6.07, C.5 of Zoning Ordinance No. 464 to Allow A Change In A PUD Develop -
ment At Stoney Point-Addition. Seconded by Alderman Lueneburg, the motion
unanimously carried.
(d) DISCUSSION ON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ISSUED TO JUNE REDMAN
City Engineer Priebe reported he had received complaints regarding construc-
tion in the front area of property owned by June Redman which was not in com-
pliance with the Conditional Use Permit issued by the City. Therefore, he
sent a letter to Mrs. Redman on September 5, 1980 regarding this matter.
June Redman appeared before the Council and stated she had received a per-
mit from the State in June to allow widening her drive. Also, she had a
building permit to widen the approach and entrance and removal of a tree for
construction. The City staff had recommended rezoning and suggested a circle
drive. The circle drive was then submitted to State for approval and granted.
It was also presented to the Planning Commission, where restrictions were
added. The plan was unaffordable, so she decided to proceed with the pre-
vious plan of a concrete slab for three to four cars in the front of the
building.
It was pointed out that rezoning was recommended inasmuch as the Redman Real
Estate business operation was going to include additional staff members. The
restrictions were placed on the circle drive to eliminate off street parking
in the front setback and to ensure state highway safety.
Mayor Westlund read the stipulations stated in Resolution No. 6557 and stated
the City Engineer's letter would stand for correcting the construction to con-
form by October 1, 1980.
9. NEW BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATION FOR CIGARETTE LICENSE BY CAROL FRANSEN
Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alder-
man Beatty and carried unanimously, to issue a cigarette license to Carol
Fransen.
(b) CONSIDERATION OF HIRING PART -TIME CLERK FOR LIQUOR STORE
After discussion, Alderman Beatty moved to approve hiring Jeanette Matheny
as a part -time clerk for the liquor store. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen,
the motion unanimously carried.

(c) CONSIDERATION OF STOP SIGN AT MERRILL AVENUE AND MADSON STREET
Chief of Police O'Borsky requested that Merrill Street be made a stop street

cation.
Following discussion, the motion was made by Alderman Beatty to waive the
first reading of Ordinance No. 18/80 entitled Ordinance Amending Section
710:10 of the 1974 Ordinance Code of the City of Hutchinson, Entitled "Stop
Streets" By Adding Subdivision No. 14 Thereto, Relative to "Traffic, Local

named part -time personnel for Parks and Recreation Department.
(e) CONSIDERATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT WITH DR. KENNETH H. PETERSON, TENANT IN<-°
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
The Hospital Board approved a lease agreement with Dr. Kenneth H. Peterson,
new tenant in the Medical Office Building. It was requested that the Mayor

Following discussion, Alderman Lueneburg moved to approve the lease agree -
ment and authorize the Mayor to sign said lease with Dr. Kenneth H. Peterson.
Seconded by Alderman Peterson, the motion carried unanimously.
(f) CONSIDERATION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDING AREA NUMBER 2 OF DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT NUMBER 4
City Administrator Plotz reported it would be necessary to hold a public

an extension and amendment of its development program and tax increment fi-
nancing plan. The boundaries of Area No. 2 of Development District No. 4
proposed to be expanded include: Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Block 14 and Lots 3,

(a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLERK -CITY ADMINISTRATOR
City Administrator Plotz reported the 1981 budgets are ready for Council re-
view. Dates were then set for workshops to go over the budget.
Mr. Plotz reported on two recent resignations, namely, Jean Lerberg as HRA
Executive Director and Robert Otte from the Planning Commission.
Reference was made to the decrease in State aids in the amount of -8.3 %.
Since the Historical Society will be vacating its building by the end of
September, the Society will be in need of storage space for artifacts. Mr.
Plotz asked if the City would have any space available to store these items.
After discussion, it was decided to consider this matter further at another
meeting. _
(b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR
Mayor Westlund reminded the Council members of the Regional Meeting of the
League of Cities to be held in New Ulm on October 2, 1980.
The Mayor asked for an up -date on the assessments for Hands, Inc. and Lynn
Card Co. for Project 79 -04. He was told by City Administrator Plotz that
both parties had been assessed equally for the cost of the storm sewer. A
letter had also been received from Hands, Inc. and Lynn Card Co. stating
they felt other businesses in the area should also be billed for this assess-
ment. It was the consensus of the Council to defer the assessment on Assess-
ment Roll No. 82, Project 79 -04, Items No. 11 and 46, until the storm sewer
line is completed in the area.
Mayor Westlund reported the Chamber of Commerce had submitted two requests
in conjunction with the Arts and Crafts Festival to be held September 12 -13,
1980. First, the Heartmobile will be available to the public behind the
bandshell on First Avenue and requires four or five parking meters covered.

SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1980
The special meeting was called to order by Mayor Westlund at 8:00 A.M., with the
following members present: Aldermen Peterson, Lueneburg, Gruenhagen and Beatty in
addition to Mayor Westlund. Also present: City Administrator Plotz and City Ac-
countant Merrill.
Bruce Ericson, Recreation Director, requested the City Council's consideration of
approving a non - intoxicating malt liquor license for the scheduled wrestling match
September 18, 1980.
The consensus of the Council was that the City should not be involved in the direct
sale of liquor to the public; however, it was felt that a service organization such
as the Elks, Jaycees, etc., would be acceptable.
City Administrator Plotz mentioned Chief of Police O'Borsky's concerns regarding
the issuance of the license. The City Council felt this would be a similar situa-
tion as the non - intoxicating malt liquor licenses made available to the different
softball tournaments in the past.
The motion was made by Alderman Peterson, seconded by Alderman Lueneburg, to author-
ize a non - intoxicating malt liquor license to one of the service clubs of the com-
munity for September 18, 1980 during the wrestling event. Motion approved unani-
mously.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

A. Dr. Dan Huebert. Mr. Jim Schaefer, Attorney, was present to discuss his
interpretation of the Medical Staff and Governing Board By -Laws as it
relates to the "Physician's availability' obligation for inpatients,
outpatients, and emergency room patients of the hospital.
Mr. Schaefer began with opening comments stating that the by -laws
as they exist, apply equally to all physicians. As a municipal hospital
the by -laws must not be written so as to show favoritism to any solo
practitioners or professional associations.
Specific reference to physicians availability was made in:
Article III, Section 3D:
Every application for staff appointment shall be signed by the applicant
and shall contain the applicant's specific acknowledgement of every
medical staff member's obligation to provide continuous care and super-
vision of his patients, to abide by the medical staff by-laws, rules
and regu Lions, to accept the committee assignments and to accept the _,..
consultation assigments.
Rules and Regulations. Section F. Emergency Services - Paragraph 2.
nAny patient whose p ysician cannot be reacnea en Feing seen at the
emergency room shall be considered a patient without a doctor and
the physician on call will be utilized. If the physician on call
refuses to see the patient, the chief of staff shall be notified.
If indicated, corrective action may be instigated against the physician
involved."
The concensus of opinion of the Board of Directors, after receiving
the legal opinion was that the by -laws adequately address the issue of
"physician availability" and further directed the administrator to inform
all physicians of their obligation regarding same.
B. Financial Audit. The financial audit for fiscal year 1979 was presented.
Following Uicussion:
Motion was made by Balke fo accept the financial audit as presented

matching fimds, was presented. The expenditures regarding equiFment modifi-
cations in the amount of approximately $68,000 was discussed. Following

Council, pending a con- imttment from the federal goverment for matching
funds, to advertise for bids for the purchase of a microprocessor
and related equipment modifications as recommended in the Maxi
Energy Audit. Nbtion was seconded by Ewald. All were in favor,

by the medical staff duffing their May 1980 meeting. Motion was
seconded by Goebel. All were in favor. Motion passed,
F. Insurance. Bid proposals from St. Paul Fire and Marine and Argonaut
Insurance Companies were presented by Graves and Rosenow. Analysis
of the bids demonstrated that St. Paul Fire and Marine was the lower

Marine Company of Minneapolis (local agent Hutchinson Insurance Agency)
in the amount of $16,894.00 for malpractice and general liability
and umbrella coverage. Notion was seconded by Gruenhagen. All were

G. Parkiinn Lots. Repairs in the Medical Office Building parking lot, south
employee parking lot and regular visitors parking lot was discussed. The
bituminous surfacing in the Medical Office Building parking lot will have
to be replaced with concrete because of the apparent ground water
problems. The south employee parking lot and regular visitors parking lot
need a "one inch" coat of bituminous surfacing, Staff appraised the
hospital board that the contracting firm of Preferred Paving of Young America
will be resurfacing the vocational parking and a price quotation has been
obtained from then for doing the hospital south lots.
Dissatisfaction was expressed by board members regarding the apparent
design problem with the Medical Office Building parking lot, Following

overrun of 100% in excess of budgeted estimates was less than acceptable, and
that additional worl.- -of a significant nature must first be approved by the
hospital.

Page 113
Nbtion was made by Balke to send a letter to all current
and prospective active Medical Staff members informing them
of the following:
Article III, Section III (D) of the Medical Staff
Bylaws requires each physician seeking staff appointment
to specifically acknowledge his obligation to provide
continuous care and supervision of his patients. The
term "patients" as used by this section cannot be so
narrowly defined that it includes only those being
treated by the staff members on an inpatient basis,
but also includes those members of the coin unity who
look upon that staff member as their personal physician.
Members of the community have a right to choose their
physician and be treated by a physician who is familiar
with their past medical history and with wham they will
feel comfortable. To this end, the bylaws make it
incumbent upon each staff member individually to provide
for the care and supervision of his patients,
whether they be outpatients, inpatients, or emergency
room patients. Thus, a staff member is expected to be
available for treatment of his emergency roan patients.
If for some reason he knows he krill be Linable to provide
treatment for inpatients or emergency room patients it
is his responsibility to provide alternate physician
coverage during that time period.
Rule F -2 of the Rules and Regulations of the Medical
Staff provides "any patient whose physician cannot be
reached shall be considered a patient without a
doctor and a physician on call will be utilized." -This
rule recognizes that there may be extenuating or mitigating
circunstances where prior arrangements cannot be made.
This is expected to be a rare occurence. This rule is
intended to insure that in such a situation, medical
treatment is provided to the emergency room patient.
If you intend to not be available, you must provide
coverage in accordance with Article III, Section III (D)
of the Medical Staff Bylaws.
Administrator is directed to inform all active and prospective members of
the Medical Staff that a Special Board of Directors Meeting will be
scheduled for Tuesday, September 2, 1980, at 7:00 PM, in the large
lower level conference room of the hospital. Medical Staff members
are requested to be present if their opinion differs as outlined.
Medical Staff members are further requested to sign a separate ballot
stating whether or not they agree with the interpretation as stated by
the Board of Directors or will be present to discuss the issue further.
Nbtion was seconded by Ewald. All were in favor. Tbtion passed.

THE MEETING WAS CALLED TC ORDER AT 7:05 P.M. BY JIM JOYCE, CHAIRMAN
OF THE GOVERNING BOARD.
FOLLOWING THIS, MR. JOYCE ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WHICH HAD PROMPTED
THE MEETING, REFERRING TO THE LETTER THAT HAD BEEN WRITTEN TO EACH
MEMBER OF THE CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE ACTIVE MEDICAL STAFF REGARDING
THE INTERPRETATION OF A PHYSICIAN'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS
CARE AND SUPERVISION OF HIS PATIENTS. INITIAL DEFINITION WAS THAT
OF "PATIENT." WHICH WAS INTERPRETED TO MEAN INPATIENTS, OUTPATIENTS
AND EMERGENCY PATIENTS. MR. JOYCE FURTHER COMMENTED THAT THE PENDING
ACTIVE STAFF APPLICATION FROM DOCTOR DAN W. HUEBERT HAD PROMPTED
THIS INTERPRETATION TO BE MADE BY THE GOVERNING BOARD.
AT THIS POINT, DOCTOR JOHN FLUEGEL ADDRESSED THE GROUP, STATING THAT
HE FELT THE UNDERLYING ISSUES AND "HIDDEN AGENDA" BE BROUGHT TO
THE FOREFRONT. IN HIS ESTIMATION, HE FELT THAT THE BYLAWS, RULES
AND REGULATIONS HAD BEEN INTERPRETED TO APPLY TO A SITUATION TO WHICH
THEY HAD NEVER BEEN INTENDED TO APPLY. HE QUESTIONED THE DEFINITION
OF WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "HIS PATIENT." QUESTION OF A SPECIALIST
FINDING A " QUALIFIED" SUBSTITUTE FOR HIS PATIENTS SHOULD HE NOT
BE AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CARE. HE CITED, AS AN EXAMPLE, THE QUESTION
OF A SURGEON LEAVING TOWN AND LEAVING " HIS PATIENTS" IN THE CARE
OF A FAMILY PRACTITIONER. ALSO, HE INDICATED THAT HE FELT A
SPECIALIST WHO LEFT HIS PATIENTS IN THE CARE OF A•SPECIALIST WHO WAS
NOT OF THE SAME QUALIFICATIONS AS HE WOULD BE PUTTING HIMSELF IN

JEOPARDY FOR MALPRACTICE. (E.I., SURGEON AND FAMILY PRACTITIONER)
HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HE FELT A CLARIFICATION OF THE REAL ISSUES
WAS IN ORDER. HE ALSO CALLED FOR A BROADENED DEFINITION OF A
PATIENT
AT THIS POINT, .JIM JOYCE NOTED THAT THE QUESTION WAS THAT OF EMERGENCY
PATIENTS•VERSUS INPATIENTS. THE ISSUE WAS COVERAGE FOR THE EMERGENCY
ROOM FOR AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIAN'S PATIENTS.
DOCTOR FLUEGEL FURTHER COMMENTED THAT HE FELT.THAT THIS INTERPRETATION
SHOULD QUESTIONABLY BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE STATE BOARD
OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS FOR THEIR COMMENTS. OTHER COMMENTS WERE THE
FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WAS THE SAME
REGARDLESS OF WHICH PHYSICIAN WAS DESIGNATED AS THE PATIENT'S PHYSICIAN
DOCTOR PETERSON THEN ASKED FOR THE FLOOR TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HE
COMMENTED TO THE PERSONS PRESENT THAT HE HAD PRESENTED COPIES OF
THIS LETTER WITH THE INTERPRETATION TO TWO JUDGES, BOTH OF WHOM -A)ID
NOT AGREE WITH THIS. HE ALSO SHOWED THIS TO DOCTOR LYLE FRENCHIr"
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HOSPITALS, ALONG WITH THE PRESENT BYLAWS OF
THE MEDICAL STAFF. OPINION OF DOCTOR FRENCH OF THE BYLAWS WAS THAT
THEY WERE " ANTIQUATED."
AT THIS POINT, DOCTOR PETERSON DISCUSSED THE PRESENT CALL SYSTEM'
AT HUTCHINSON HOSPITAL. SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT HE HAD ENCOUNTERED
WITH THIS SYSTEM, PRIMARILY THAT HE WAS NOT BEING CALLED FOR HIS
PATIENTS, WERE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH. HE LISTED EXAMPLES, SPECIFICALLY
CITING LAST WEEKEND WHEN HE FELT THAT THERE WERE 12 POTENTIAL PATIENTS
THAT HE HAD NOT BEEN CALLED FOR WHEN HE WAS THE PHYSICIAN ON CALL FOR
PATIENTS WITHOUT A FAMILY DOCTOR.
JIM JOYCE THEN INQUIRED OF PHIL GRAVES WHAT THE PROCEDURE WAS
REGARDING PHYSICIANS ON CALL. MR. GRAVES THEN EXPLAINED THE SYSTEM
AS IT NOW EXISTS. THERE IS A PHYSICIAN ON CALL FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT
A FAMILY DOCTOR ON A REGULAR ROTATION BASIS INVOLVING ALL PHYSICIANS
AND THEN THERE IS A SEPARATE CALL SCHEDULE FOR PATIENTS WHOSE
PHYSICIANS ARE A PART OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED IN
DETAIL HOW THE PROCEDURE IS TO WORK.
DOCTOR HUEBERT THEN ASKED FOR THE FLOOR TO PRESENT HIS COMMENTS.
HE STATED THAT HE WOULD ABIDE BY WHATEVER RULES AND REGULATIONS
THE GOVERNING BOARD WOULD SET FORTH REGARDING THE PHYSICIAN'S
AVAILABILITY FOR PROVIDING CARE TO HIS PATIENTS. HE FURTHER STATED
THAT HE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR HIS PATIENTS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
AT LEAST 95% OF THE TIME. HE INDICATED THAT HIS INTENTION WAS TO
PRACTICE IN BUFFALO LAKE WHERE THERE PRESENTLY WAS NO PHYSICIAN.
IN ORDER TO DO THIS, HE WAS, OF COURSE, REQUIRED TO BE AVAILABLE
TO PROPAGATE THIS PRACTICE. HE INDICATED THAT THE PRIME CONSIDER-
ATION FOR ALL PHYSICIANS SHOULD BE THE WELFARE OF THE PATIENT.
DOCTOR HUEBERT EMPHASIZED THAT IT WAS NOT HUMANLY POSSIBLE FOR
AN INDIVIDUAL TO BE ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR WITHOUT
RESPITE. HE INDICATED THAT HE AND DOCTOR PETERSON WOULD WORK OUT
AN ARRANGEMENT THAT SHOULD BE REASONABLY FAIL SAFE, BUT A CIRCUM-
STANCE MAY ARISE WHEN NEITHER DOCTOR HUEBERT OR DOCTOR PETERSON
WOULD BE AVAILABLE. DOCTOR BRETZKE COMMENTED THAT IT WAS UP.TO

HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - SPECIAL GOVERNING BOARD MEETING - 9 -2 -8C
THE INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIAN BELONGING TO THE HUTCHINSON MEDICAL CENTER,PA,
OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WISH TO RELIEVE DOCTOR PETERSON OR DOCTOR
HUEBERT IF ADDITIONAL COVERAGE WAS NECESSARY. AN ALTERNATIVE FOR
EMERGENCY ROOM COVERAGE WAS PRESENTED BY DOCTOR HUEBERT (HIRING OF
OUTSIDE PHYSICIANS.) DOCTOR HUEBERT FELT THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR PROVIDING APPROPRIATE PHYSICIAN COVERAGE FOR PATIENTS PRESENTING
AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM IS ALSO THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNING
BOARD. DOCTOR HUEBERT ALSO SUGGESTED AN EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE
AND COOPERATION IN SIX MONTHS BY THE SAME GROUP THAT WAS AT THIS
MEETING.
DISCUSSION THEN FOLLOWED AMONG THE GROUP REGARDING THE WHOLE CALL
SITUATION; DOCTOR, REMUCAL COMMENTED ON THE METHODS EMPLOYED BY THE
MEDICAL CENTER GROUP TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR THEIR PATIENTS. THE
BACK UP SYSTEM PROVIDED BY THE GROUP FOR COVERAGE OF BOTH THEIR
INPATIENTS SHOULD THEY LEAVE TOWN AND FOR EMERGENCY ROOM COVERAGE
WAS DISCUSSED. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS, SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES
AND DISADVANTAGES OF GROUP PRACTICE WERE DISCUSSED BY THE MEMBERS
OF THE MEDICAL CENTER WHO WERE PRESENT.
IN SUMMARY, DOCTOR HUEBERT REQUESTED OF THE BOARD THAT THE SITUATION
BE MONITORED FOR THE PROVISIONAL PERIOD OF SIX. MONTHS TO EVALUATE
WHETHER OR NOT PROBLEMS HAD, INDEED, DEVELOPED. DOCTOR HUEBERT
INDICATED TO THE GROUP THAT HE INTENDED TO NOT ABUSE THE SYSTEM,
AND WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR COVERAGE OF HIS PATIENTS THE MAJORITY
OF THE TIME. HE CITED PERCENTAGES OF 90 -98% AS AN EXAMPLE.
JIM JOYCE THEN FURTHER SUMMARIZED THE PROCEEDINGS BY INDICATING THAT
THE BOARD, AS YET, HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEDICAL STAFF REGARDING DOCTOR HUEBERT'S
STAFF APPLICATION. THE PROCESS AS OUTLINED IN THE BYLAWS, RULES
AND REGULATIONS OF THE MEDICAL STAFF INDICATE THAT THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE IS THE ONLY BODY OF THE MEDICAL STAFF AUTHORIZED TO MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION TO THE GOVERNING BOARD REGARDING STAFF PRIVILEGES.
THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE FORTHCOMING FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MEETING SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 8TH. _
AT THIS TIME, JIM SCHAEFER INDICATED THAT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT,
HIS OPINION WAS THAT-THE ONUS OF RESPONSIBILITY FALLS ON THE INDIVIDUAL
PHYSICIAN, NOT THE HOSPITAL, TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR THEIR PATIENTS.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY ROLLIE BALKE, SECONDED BY JOAN EWALD, THAT
THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED. THE MOTION CARRIED, AND THE MEETING
ADJOURNED AT 8:30 P.M.

BURNS MANOR MIMCIPAL NURSING HOME
August - Minutes
The Board of Directors for Barns Manor Municipal Nursing Home met
August 21, 1980, 12:00 noon, at Burns Manor; President Leslie Linder presiding.
All members were present.
A motion by Gloria Dansereau, seconded by Larry Graf and carried, approved
the minutes as presented.
A motion by Eldred Miller, seconded by Keith Duehn and carried, approved
the bills as presented, a copy of which is attached to the minutes on file and
made a part thereof.
The Financial Advisor, Wallace Kurth, gave a detailed account on the
January 1, 1980 thru June 30, 1980, income statement and operating expense
report. An income analysis report was discussed at length.
Old business:
An air conditioning report was given by Larry Graf. The cost is prohibitive
and it is very doubtful if the desired cooling will be achieved.
The Administrator reported:
Insurance: Premises medical coverage increase of $50.00 because of
$1,000.00 coverage instead of $500.00. Workman's compensation will carry
volunteers coverage.
The Medicaid freeze rollback to 1978 rates would adversely affect
Burns Manor operation. The loss per diem would be $9.00 on medicaid patients.
This loss would reflect in our-ability to repay bonded indebtness necessitating
our request for a tax levy from the City of Hutchinson.
Food and utility costs are exceeding estimated projections. It has been
proposed that the Medicaid program disallow the raw food cost increase in
compliance with the guidelines of the (State Deficit Impact on Health Programs).
In the preparation of the 1981 budget for the City of Hutchinson they
would like to be advised if the Nursing Home will be in need of a tax levy for
the year 1981. After a discussion of a possible Medicaid freeze and roll back
to 1978 rates it was decided to have faith in the Quie Administration. Motion
was made by Larry Graf, seconded by Keith Duehn to advise the City of Hutchinson
that no tax levy will be needed for the year 1981.
A motion was'made by Keith Duehn, seconded by Esther Kuehl to allow a $28.00
Medicare repayment cost apportionment for malpractice cost to be paid by
September 21 1980.

service be provided for 6 year olds and over only (unless accompanied
by a parent.) Staff was directed to inform the parents of this policy.
There was discussion on whether budget constraints might make it
necessary to consider raising fares. The Board will plan to meet
again in September to discuss this possibility, after budget hearings
with the Council have commenced.

Vice- Chairman opened the hearing at 8:18 P.M. Since neither Mr.

Mr. Jim McClure, representing Eldred Miller, explained to the
Commission his proposal changing from one building of eight units
to five buildings of two units. He went on to say the new build-
ings would be constructed on one level being of condominium fash-
ion rather than townhouses. Also a construction loan can be issued
for one building at a time.

being made up of all the owners of the complex. He stated all of
the members were very much opposed to this revised plan. He then
presented a petition with the signatures of the owners stating
their objection.
Mr. McClure then stated he was only asking for a favorable approval
which would give him some leeway so he and the association can get
together and work something out. He went on to say he legally

Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to close the hearing at 8:01 P.M.
Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion unanimously carried.
Marlow Priebe, Director of Engineering, pointed out that even with
ten (10) units the density would not exceed the limitations of the
zoning ordinance.
Mr. Otte than asked the members of the commission for their opinion.
Elsa Young felt any plans should be in agreement with all of the
association.
Bill Backen felt there was no need to approve this until they come
to an agreement.
Larry Romo felt there was a lot of area for compromise between the y«
association and the builder.
Ted Beatty felt the owners were adquately protected by the written
contract they had which states no changes can be made in the con-
cept without the associations approval.
Mr. -Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the City
Council provided an agreement between the two parties in made prior
to issuance of a building permit and written notification is made to
the City of such a compromise. Seconded by Larry Romo, the motion
carried with Elsa Young, Ted Beatty and Larry Romo in favor and
Bill Backen opposed.
c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR DETERMINING THE F=RONT & SIDE YARDS
FOR LOT 12, BLOCK 4, STONEY POINT ADDITION

Mr. Dan Dooley, owner of the lot, explained because of a safety
factor he would like to build a house on this lot with a driveway
on Allen rather than School Road.
The zoning ordinance states the rear of a corner lot is parallel
to the shortest side so therefore approval of the planning comm-
ission is necessary in this case.
The hearing was closed at 8:15 P.M. on motion by Bill Backen and
seconded by Ted Beatty. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the

a) DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED USE AS SERVICE STATION FOR FORMER "SKELLY
STATION" LOCATED ON MAIN STREET
Mr. Joe Anglin explained to the Commission he would be vacating
his present location shortly because the city had purchased his
land for "Firemen's Park ".
His request is to relocate his bait and tackle business on the
corner of Main and Second Avenue Northwest. He also would want
to put in a small island in front with two gas pumps.
City Administrator, Gary Plotz. pointed out several variances
would have to be issued such as the lot size not meeting the
requirements as well as curb cuts, landscaping and parking,
none of which would meet our zoning ordinance requirements.
Discussion followed at which time it was pointed out that the
restrooms would have to be brought up to standards for the hand-
icapped and the windows on the south side of the building would
have to be eliminated.
Mr. Willard, Building Official, indicated it probably was located
in the flood fringe district so the DNR would have to be notified.
He wasn't sure if they would approve. Tanks can be buried under-
ground with special procedures.
It was the consensus of the Commission that Staff do some checking
with -the DNR before Mr. Anglin pursue the project, should he de-
cide to do so.
b) DISCUSSION ON LAND USE OF LOT 10, BLOCK 29, DIRECTLY NORTH OF
PARK TOWERS REQUESTED BY DR: KUEHL
Mr. Kuehl appeared before the Commission stated he wanted to know
if they felt it would be feasible to buy this lot for the purpose
of building a clinic.
Marlow Priebe, Director of Engineering, explained this area is
zoned R -3 so a conditional use permit would permit this use.
However, there could not be any off street parking in the front
setback.
Mr. Plotz. City Administrator, stated the other alternative would
be rezoning this parcel. The question came.up "would this be

spot zoning" and it was the consensus of the Commission if would
not be spot zoning but rather an extension of the adjacent zoning.
Mr. Kuehl was advised to pursue the rezoning should he decide to
purchase the land a build a clinic.
C) DISCUSSION ON DIVIDING LOT 81, LYNN ADDITION, INCLUDING EASEMENT
REQUESTED BY CLARENCE FREITAG
Mr. Freitag approached the planning commission stating he wished
to divide this lot into (2) two separate lots. The deed would
have a permanent easement for a driveway to reach the lot behind.
Mr. Priebe, Dir. of Eng., explained there would be a charge for
utilities. Mr. Freitag indicated he was aware of that.
Mr. Priebe then requested surveys be made of the property showing
the location of the present structures and the proposed structures
and each be given to the City. Also, it was agreed that the pre-
sent garage be moved.
Mr. Priebe explained the new sewer and water for the westerly
150 feet shall be made from mains on Lynn Road and be confined
to access easement. Lynn Road will have to be repaired as per
the City's policy on permanent surfaced streets.
It was then decided to forward this request to the City Council
with the Planning Commission's approval providing all of the
above conditions are met.

Dr. Chernausek opened the meeting with the reading of the July minutes,
which were approved by the Board.
Tom Stibal and Emma Lake came in behalf of the Senior Citizens. Mr. Lennes
speaking in behalf of the Senior Citizens, felt they should have as much
consideration in. the budget now being drawn up, as the youth programs. The
Senior Citizens have, at the present time, a balance of $70.14. Mr. Haugen
suggested they estimate the approximate amount they right need, and discuss
it with Mr. Ericson.
Bruce gave his report. The Optimist Club, in conjunction with the Park and
Recreation Board, is giving a Schwin Varsity Sport bicycle to the top
salesperson, along with other prizes for the youth participating in the
candle and holder items to help defray expenses for registration fees.
The final signed copy of the grant for McDonald's Park has been received,
and work should begin this month.
The school will also be using McDonald's Park.
The grading at Linden Park has been completed for the temporary hockey
rink.
Bruce - stated that there was an increase in participation in youth baseball,
and he felt some of these programs would benefit if they could be run in
the evening with volunteer coaches.
He recommended that the Babe Ruth, Peanuts II and the Youth Softball programs
be switched to this format for the 1980- season. The problem being there are not
enough ballfields available in the evening. For this reason, Bruce is
recommending funds in the 1981 budget to up grade fields at North Jaycee
Park, - VFW Park and Linden Park, the existing field will still be used for
the adult leagues. McDonalds Park will accommodate both Youth and Adult.
Bruce stated an old football scoreboard is available for McDonald's Park.
Mark Schnobrich reported 454 elms against 538 last year have been tagged.
Representatives from the University of Minnesota Extension Service have
been working with the City by injecting Arbotect into healthy trees to
protect them, which is good for three years. The trees in Library Park
have been injected.
There has been a lot of work picking up branches this year because of the
high winds, and it has become a problem with residents putting out more
than storm damage on the boulevards. The Tree Board has asked the Council
for time limit on these pickups.

the Association takes care of all the expenses, and she asks for
manpower to help and they will take care of the materials needed.

Re: Lot 81, Lynn Addition
Gentlemen:
I have given some thought to the question of installing
a catch basin and storm sewer on my lot.
I feel that I should not have to pay for the cost entirely.
Other lot owners will benefit from the installation, and
I feel they should pay or be assessed for part of the cost.
I realize that in order to assess other lot owners that
hearings, etc., have to be held; but I feel that is the
only fair method.
Your consideration in determining which other lot owners
should help pav will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Clarence Freitag

RE: HUTCHMOBILE FARES
Attached are the minutes of the Transportation Board Meeting
of September 17, 1980.
It was the recommendation of the Board at this meeting that

SUBJECT: Locked Doors at High School
This fall I began an evening class conducted through St. Cloud College and held
at the Hutchinson High School. On Monday evening when I attended class, I was
surprised to see that the front doors to the high school building were all chained
and padlocked shut, with the exception of the one door left open for students to
enter and exit.
Some time ago we were informed by you that City Hall could no longer use a chain
and padlock on the front door inasmuch as it was in violation of the fire code
and the safety of occupants to exit in the event of fire in the building. There-
fore, City Hall discontinued this practice.
There are several different classes being held in the high school on Monday eve-
nings in conjunction with the St. Cloud College education program, which is co-
ordinated through the Community Education Department in Hutchinson. Also, earlier
in the evening (6:00 -6:30 P.M.) there are still high school students around wait-
ing for rides home following after - school activities.
It seems to me that in the event of a fire, it would be impossible for all the
occupants of the high school building to get out through only one open door.
Isn't this in violation of the fire code?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The National Arbor Day Foundation invites each community
which has been named a Tree City USA to apply for recerti-
fication for their 1980 urban forestry work. Renewing Tree
City USA's which have been awarded entry signs and walnut
plaques will receive 1980 emblems to add to the signs and
plaques. New flags will also be presented.
The Foundation has prepared a special recertification form
for your use which requires less documentation than the
original application. The new Tree City USA brochure which
outlines the basics of urban forestry is also enclosed for
your information.
We have been picking up reports from throughout the nation
of communities enjoying the benefits of improved urban
forestry activities. As a past Tree City USA, your com-
munity has known the advantages of caring for your trees.
We look forward to your being recertified in 1980 to help
you continue to maintain the-public's interest in your tree
programs.

Mr. Gary Plotz
City Administrator
City Hall
Hutchinson, MN 55350
Dear Gary:
FOR YOUR INFOR
I enclose a copy of plot showing lots 1,
of Block 2 of Rolling Oaks which would be the lots
west of the Happy Chef Restaurant. Lot 1 of Block
by Larry Sorensen, whom I do not represent at this
Lots 2 and 3 are owned by Dennis Albertson, whom I
represent at this time.

I would encourage the City of Hutchinson to look
into the feasibility of purchasing these three lots. I feel
the reasons are obvious in that it adjoins the scenic property
presently owned by the City south of the state trail and would
be a natural tie -in with the City's park system along the
river. It occurs to me that this property, preserved in the
hands of the City for either near -term use or posterity would
benefit the City and the public forever. It, of course, would
give the City access to its property and would be a perfect
location for a park headquarters building with the bridge being
there and the City would have the control of making it a
pleasant entry into the City from the west on Highway.7 as,
of course, that is the first spot people turn their heads to
the south to view the river, bridge, etc.
We all know the river flowing through this town is
a unique asset that few towns can claim, especially since our
river runs in such a manner that it is constantly in play, so
to speak, and the City has done a magnificent job to date in
acquiring and improving river property, all to its benefit.
I have often felt that the corner now known
Dale's Auto would have been a perfect spot for a touri:

information or Chamber of Commerce building as an entry to
Hutchinson and each time a location like that disappears from
the river it is most likely gone forever. The lots I speak of
are being looked at by commercial establishments and I think
the property and City would be best served by their acquiring
and holding the lots for improvement.
