(h) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST TO PURCHASE POLICE PATROL VEHICLE
The Chief of Police requested authorization from the Council for the Police
Department to purchase a patrol vehicle in 1980 to replace one of the Plymouth

(f) CONSIDERATION OF ONE -TIME INCREASE IN LEVY LIMITATION
City Accountant Merrill presented a report on the City's levy limit. A one-
time adjustment of 10% (3.4 mills) for taxable year 1981 would result in an
increase of approximately $105,507.00. The State puts a limit on the dollar
amount available to the City; since it is questionable if the revenue sharing
will be continued, the City's 1981 budget has been prepared without these funds.
An adjustment of the levy limit would require: 1) adoption of a resolution of
intent and setting a public hearing date; 2) publication of a hearing notice
in the newspaper for four consecutive weeks prior to the hearing; 3) stating
the amount of the 10% levy increase; 4) a 30 -day waiting period for petitions;
5) a referendum held if 5 %, or 2,000 signatures, of last fall's election were
presented; 6) if there were no petitions, the levy would be implemented.
Following discussion, the Mayor pointed out that the adopted resolution could
be rescinded if the funds were not needed by the City.
The motion was made by Alderman Beatty to waive reading and adopt Resolution
No. 6594 entitled Resolution Determining Amount and Setting Public Hearing of
Levy Limit Adjustment, and set public hearing for September 23, 1980. Seconded
by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.

unanimously, to approve the verified claims and authorize payment from the
appropriate funds.
(b) STATEMENT OF LEGAL FEES FOR DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED VS. CITY OF HUTCHINSON
LAWSUIT
City Attorney Schantzen commented that a statement from Briggs & Morgan had
been submitted to the insurance company to cover attorney fees for prelimin-
ary hearings on the Developers Diversified vs. City of Hutchinson lawsuit,
prior to the insurance company appointing legal counsel for the City. Also,
a statement for legal fees from Keefe & Schantzen was submitted for payment.
Both bills were rejected by Forum Insurance.
Mr. Schantzen suggested writing a letter to the insurance company. Two -
ternatives could be considered: 1) the City pay Briggs & Morgan and sue Me
insurance company, or 2) let Briggs & Morgan sue the City and bring in of
insurance company as a third party, hoping they will be forced to pay the
bill.
Following discussion, the motion was made by Alderman Gruenhagen to table the
matter. The motion was seconded by Alderman Lueneburg and carried unani-
mously.
12. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned
at 8:45 P.M. upon motion by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagein

SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1980
A workshop meeting of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Westlund at 4:35 PM,
with the following present: Aldermen Gruenhagen and Beatty, in addition to Mayor West -
lund. Absent: Aldermen Peterson and Lueneburg. Also present: City Administrator Plotz,
City Engineer Priebe, City Accountant Merrill, HRA Executive Director Lerberg, and Con-
sultant Clarence Simonowicz.
City Administrator Plotz explained the purpose of the informal meeting was to update the
Council on the status of the high rise project. He then presented a drawing of the high
rise site plan and stated the Senior Citizens Center would be located on the first floor
of the building. This area would be used by senior citizen groups only.
The sale of the property to the developer would be $1,000.00 per unit, or $62,000.00
revenue toward the project. The City needs to find some other means to finance the
Center; therefore, tax increment financing is being considered. Also, the City will be
responsible for the parking lot of the Center. Real estate tax will be paid on the
building, with the exception of the parking lot and Center.
The location of the high rise building on the site could be altered, but the basic build-
ing plan cannot be changed due to the tight schedule before construction begins.
It was reported the north 132 feet of the alley easement will be necessary for the high
rise; therefore, the City will vacate this portion of the alley for the project, with
the first reading of the ordinance at the Council meeting on August 26, 1980. After the
public hearing notices were mailed for vacation of the alley, Mr. Plotz was approached
by Anthony Forcier regarding the City purchasing his house located on the site. Subse-
quently, Michael Guetter also contacted Mr. Plotz about selling his house on the north
property line to the City. Following consultation with the Mayor, the owners were of-
fp.red an option of $50,000.00 per parcel, including the potential relocation payment of
$15,000.00.
Discussion was given to the location of the high rise building on the site and the in-
crease in project cost if the two proposed properties were purchased by the City.
City Accountant Merrill presented a report on the estimate of the assessed values for
the increment districts 1, 2 and 3, and projected the total cost would be $75- 76,000.00,
with the high rise paying approximately $30,000.00.
Mr. Plotz pointed out that if the two houses in the high rise site were purchased, it
would be necessary to change the boundary on District No. 2. Also, t'P further compli-
cate matters, the Knutson Company had approached him regarding a $3 million project
under consideration in Hutchinson for 60 -units of high quality condominiums. The down-
town is one of three locations being considered (block west of City Hall). This would
also require a change in the boundary of District No. 1 to the west. Changing the boun-
daries would require public hearings.
COUNCIL MINUTES
AUGUST 25, 1980
Alderman Gruenhagen expressed concern about changing the tax increment district boun-
daries. He felt the tax payers would be disturbed and wonder how far out the City would
extend the districts.
Consultant Simonowicz stated that if the Knutson Company's property would be included
in the district, there would have to be an agreement between them and the assessor. This
would take time and would delay the issuance of the bond. He further pointed out that
there was a limitation on the amount of property in a district at the time it was drawn
up. Since then, this requirement has been abolished.
Mr. D. A. Weseloh recently sold the City property for the park project. He has now of-
fered to sell the City the property where Sunny's Antiques is located in the amount of
$24,000.00 for 44 feet of frontage on Main Street, and through the alley back to the
river.
The Historical Society has expressed an interest in relocating within Hutchinson, and
the Chamber of Commerce has offered to share a joint proposal with them. Alderman Beatty
reported on the status of this venture. The present Chamber building was sold on con-
tract for deed so property could not be donated to the Historical Society. However,
the building could be sold to either the City or Society for a joint venture, with the
Chamber as developer, or else the City could become the developer of the project. There
are three possible directions to go, but they are all in the "ideas" stage at present.
Consultant Simonowicz commented the Historical Society is packing the items in the Mu-
seum in order to be out of the building by the designated date. They are in need of a
heated storage space.- He then suggested the basement of the Old Armory, with the City
leasing it to the Society for a nominal fee. City Administrator Plotz was to check in-
to the storage space in the Old Armory for a temporary period of time.
Mayor Westlund instructed the Chamber of Commerce and Historical Society to prepare a
proposal, and the City would purchase the property. Then the County Commissioners
would be approached for the purchase of one -half the land.
Mr. Plotz reported the Farmers Elevator is contemplating building a railroad spur this
fall in the amount of $100,000.00. Mr. Zimmerman would like to know the City's intent
regarding the railroad situation in conjunction with the motel project so they can act
accordingly. The railroad has offered Farmers Elevator 54 cars for a reduction to their
costs, with only one track required. The City's proposal would require two tracks and
a car mover. The adjoining property owner is outside the City limits so a track could
not be laid there.
By October 15, 1980 the developers will need the money from the City for the construc-
tion of the Community Activity Center in the high rise. Mr. Plotz stated he would like
to have Bill Fahey, Ehlers & Associates, prepare a study of the amount of money needed
so one bond could be issued to cover all items.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:45 P.M.

Before you consider the adoption of this assessment roll we the under-
signed question whether this project was ever completed and okayed. The
bituminous surfacing, after one year, is breaking up; either an extremely
inferior bitumous mixture applied - or seal coat never applied. The
quality of surfacing requires your inspection.
31so, the boulevards and the highway ditch along the service road were
never reseeded or resodded and are heavily infested with weeds. Were
these parcels to have been put back as they were when said project
was begun?
We request you have your street superintendent check on the above
projects street surfacing and boulevards.

School Road Bridge planting project was discussed,and it was agreed

The DNR utilization project is under way in Granite Falls and should
be coming to Hutchinson within the next week or so according to
Mark Schnobrich.
New Business
Discussion on Millers woods was brought up with no formal action being
taken. The stipulations that John Miller placed upon the park at the
time of donation was discussed.
The problem of liability between property owners concerning dangerous
and problem trees was brought up in discussion. Both Roy Johnsen,
Jerry Brown, and Mrs. Alex Jensen instructed the City Forester to
consult with Buzz Schantzen in regards to the City taking a part in
such actions. Also, it was recommended that the Forester look into
other communities and see what policies they have in regards to such
problems.
The board unanimously agreed that City trees, which are not elm and
are removed for various reasons, be kept for our utilization project.
The policy will now stand that all City trees will be retained by the
City and no one will be allowed to keep the wood. All wood will either
be sold or otherwise utilized for City purposes.
Fall planting was discussed and the board agreed to go ahead with
planting in the fall. The possibility of spring planting was proposed,
but with the good results of fall planting, done by Fred Roberts in
the past, it was decided to continue with fall planting. Species
discussed were Ohio buckeye, Honey Locust, and Redmond Linden.
John Walker will be confronted as to purchasing these species and
selling them to the City.
An Urban & Community Forestry Grant application from the DNR was
brought before the Board and the City Forester was given the go ahead
on submitting the application. The grant would be a 50 -50 matching,
City /State, monies for help in a tree inventory and comprehensive
tree management plan authorship. This grant would help the City in
getting it's urban programs off the ground.

SUBJECT: Financing Proposed Senior Citizens Center
The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency informed the City that monies for the con-
struction of the "Community Activity Center" be deposited with the agency at
closing, approximately October 15 -30.
The sale of the property to the developer will provide for a portion of the
Community Activity Center (approximately $60,000 - 80,000); however, the sub-
stantial balance of cost is to be paid by the tax increment monies available.
We need authorization for preparation of tax increment resolutions to pay for
this project. I would be utilizing the municipal bonding consultant, Ehlers
and Associates, Bill Fahey, on this project.

SUBJECT: Options to Purchase Two Houses Adjacent to New Elderly Building
After mailing out public hearing notices for vacation of the alley within the
high rise site, property owner Anthony Forcjer. approached me on the status of
the alley and subsequently the sale of his house to the City. Mr. Forcier owns
the middle house of the three homes remaining on the site (see attached map).
Thereafter, Michael Guetter contacted me regarding selling his house on the
north property line (see attached map).
Mayor Westlund was contacted by me to see if there was interest; if so, how to
proceed. It was felt an option would be appropriate for $50,000 per parcel,
including the potential homestead relocation payment of $15,000.
Currently the property owners are reviewing the proposal. Options agreements
are subject to Council approval.
The total expense of these improvements would be $100,000 and could be financed
along with the tax increment bond (note) for construction of the Community Activity
Center. -

SUBJECT: — J10QL GOVERNMENT AID REDUCTIONS
----------------- - - - - --
Per the action alert from the League of Minnesota
Cities, the local impact on revenue loss would be as
follows: The total reduction per the memo would be
$50,021. for the City of Hutchinson.. If the amount is
divided over the 3 payments as suggested, the reduction
would be $16,673. per payment.
The effect if implemented, per the governor's proposal,
would be the 2 payments in 1980 would be reduced and one
in March of 1981. As can be seen by the League memo there
are a lot of unanswered questions at this time, but
hopefully will be resolved before the end of our budget
meetings.

RE: Local Government Aid Reductions
RMATION
Governor Quie convened a group of city officials - together with representatives of
counties and townships - to present his proposed program for the reduction of state
aid payments to local governments. During the meeting, the Governor discussed the
currently projected $195 million deficit in the state's July 1980 -June 1981 budget.
He indicated that he had decided upon a program of cutting existing appropriations
for state agencies, schools and higher education, and local government instead of
calling a special session of the legislature to enact legislative changes which would
eliminate the deficit.
For cities, this reduction can be calculated as follows. Take the amount of certified
1980 aids your city expected to receive and multiply it by three - fourths. Take the
amount of 1981 aids as stated in a letter your city received a week or so ago from the
Commissioner of Revenue and multiply it by one - quarter. Add the two figures together
and multiply the total by 8.3 %. This is the amount to be subtracted from the total of
the two aid payments remaining in 1980 and the March payment in 1981.
In other words: 1980 certified aid amount X 3/4
1981 certified aid amount X 1/4
This sum X 8.3% is amount of aid reduction.
The Board of Directors of the League met after the meeting and adopted the resolution
which is attached. One point of that policy is that all of the reductions should be
taken out of the March, 1981 aid payment; and no reductions should be made in the two
remaining 1980 payments. The League will be working with the Commissioner of Revenue
to work this out and will let you know about the Commissioner's decisions on this and
other matters in weekly action alerts until these issues are resolved.
By September 15, all of the questions about this aid reduction program should be answered.
Cities should leave their budgets open until that date. Cities will be informed by that
date of the amount of reductions in 1980 and in March of 1981.
The Commissioner of Revenue will rule that a city may increase its levy to correspond
to any announced reductions in 1981 state aid. Levy limit cities will not be permitted
to exceed their levy limit to make up reductions in 1980 aid payments.

Because only the March 1981 aid payment comes out of the remainder of the state's fiscal
year, much uncertainty remains about aid payments in 1981. The amount of the three aid
payments after the March, 1981 payment will be determined in the 1981 legislative session
and the total amount of 1981 aids cannot now be predicted.
Also, the state budget cutbacks will affect many state programs which impact cities.
Reductions may be made in wastewater treatment grants, reimbursements for mini- and
maxi - energy audits, shade tree disease aid and other direct programs. Also, many state
services to cities will be reduced.
The League is attempting to determine what state grants, programs and services will be
cut and to what degree.
OAS:rmm
Resolution by League o, Minnesota Cities Board of Directors Regarding Proposed
e uction in State Aid
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota faces a projected general fund budget deficit of
$195,000,000.00; and
WHEREAS, Governor Quie has announced a potential across - the -board 8.3% cutback in
school aids, state aids to cities, counties and townships; and
WHEREAS, this proposed reduction in aid will have a number of serious impacts on
cities; and
WHEREAS, city officials have had little opportunity to work with the Governor or
members of his Administration to develop a coordinated plan to address the state's
deficit; and
WHEREAS, the State and the Governor have a commitment to limiting reliance on local
property taxes; and
WHEREAS, the Governor has previously supported increasing the state's fiscal commitment
to cities as detailed in his January 23, 1979 budget message in which the Governor has
stated that: "Minnesota cities have fiscal needs which are not being met by the existing
aid formula. "; and
WHEREAS, the League of Cities has been contacted by numerous local officials around
the State who have expressed their strong concern with the serious impact that the
proposed reductions in aid will have in their cities;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1) The cities of the League of Minnesota Cities express their strong objection to the
proposed cutbacks in state aid.
2) The League of Minnesota Cities supports the calling of a Special Session of the
Legislature to solve the State's revenue shortfall problem by considering the
following options:
a) Modification of existing tax cuts now scheduled but not yet in effect;
b) Review of the potential use of the $90 million debt reserve fund established
by the Governor last year.
3) If a Special Session does not convene, and state aid cuts are made, then the
following procedures should be used:
a) All -1980 city aid payments should be made and all cuts be made in 1981.
Further, the Commissioner of Revenue should certify the same total in
1981 city aids as is now certified. This will permit the legislature
to determine what the true shortfall is and decide if any 1981 aids would
still need to be cut.
b) The League of Minnesota Cities opposes any major reduction in state programs,
services, or grants to local government which would result in the state
further shifting the burden of its budget reduction onto local government.
4) The League of Cities also strongly encourages the Governor to directly involve local
officials in the decision- making process. Before any final plan is adopted, local
officials should have had full opportunity to work closely with state officials in
development a rational plan to meet the state's fiscal crisis.
5) The League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors directs League staff to work with
Commissioner of Revenue Clyde Allen, Commissioner of Finance, Wayne Burggraaff, and
the Governor's Administration to implement the League Board of Directors policy.

Carver Office Advisory Committee
The Carver Office of Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services
is in the process of organizing an Advisory Committee to
provide information and guidance to the office on its
priorities and operations.
More specifically, the Committee will serve as the voice of
the community served by the Office and inform the staff
about the legal needs of low- income people and provide
direction about how to best meet those needs. Areas that
will be of importance include:
Setting eligibility guidelines to determine who
should qualify for free legal help.
Establishing priorities and helping make the
difficult decisions about which legal needs of
low- income people are greatest.
Helping decide on the legal strategies to meet those
needs determined most important.
Serving as a link between the Carver staff and the
client community as well as providing access to
this Office by others such as the bar, public
officials, social service agencies, and so on.
The reason for creation of the Advisory Committee is to
make the Carver Office as accessible as possible to the
community it serves and help it be a responsive and responsible
part of that community.
The Committee serves one other very important function.
That is to recommend to the Board of Directors of S.M.R.L.S.
new Board members from this area. Each office operated by
S.M.R.L.S. throughout Southern Minnesota has an Advisory
body which recommends to the S.M.R.L.S. Board individuals
who will represent their geographic area on the Board.
As yet the Carver area is not directly represented. Once
these positions are filled any future vacancies in those
positions are filled with nominations from the Carver Advisory
Committee.
,�•® LEGAL SERVICES

Membershop on the Committee is open to any person. Our
Board has _adopted a policy that 50% of the membership be
composed of eligible clients so we especially wish to en-
courage low- income persons to participate. But interest from
any person is welcome.
Those who would like to know more about becoming a member
or wish to-become one, need only-write or call this office
at the phone'or address listed above. Because of our large
geographic area it appears likely now that we will be able to
pay mileage and perhaps child care costs for those for whom
these expenses would prevent their participation.
We hope to hear from many of you.
The Staff of the
Carver Office
'—,_ SOUTHERN MINNESOTA REGIONAL LEGAL SERVICES, INC.
FACT SHEET
We are taking the opportunity to introduce to you a new service for low -
income people in the counties immediately south and southwest of the Twin
Cities area. The name of our office is Southern Minnesota Regional Legal
Services, Inc.. We are a private, non - profit corporation which provides free
legal representation and assistance to persons unable to afford a private
attorney. Our office is located at Fifth and Oak Street,in Carver. Our
phone number is 612- 448 -4880.
Set out below is some basic information about the service we provide and
how we expect our office will operate.
Service Provided: Legal advice and representation for virtually all
civil legal problems, with some exceptions, noted
below.
Service Area: Rice, LeSueur, McLeod, Scott, Carver and Southern
half of Dakota county including Burnsville. The
communities in northern Dakota county are served
by our office in St. Paul. Persons unsure of which
service area they live in should contact either this
office or the one in St. Paul at 222-3-741.
Common Problem Category: Cases we handle most frequently include-the follow-
ing
1. Family Problems
Dissolution
Custody and visitation disputes
Domestic abuse
2. Public Benefits and Social Security Issues
Eligibility forAFDC,GA and Medical Assis-
tance, Medicare etc.
Obtaining Emergency Welfare help
Urremsloyme compensation
3. Consumer Disputes
Debt collection
Retail contracts
4. Housing Problems
Landlord /Tenant Advice
Evictions
Housing Code violations
Public housing
Priorities: Because experience has shown that the demand for
free legal assistance from financially eligible
persons far outstrips our ability to meet it, our
program has undertaken an effort to establish
priorities. These priorities have not been firmly
set as yet because we have not had sufficient time
-2-
or community input to identify the most important
needs of our clients. However, as time goes on we
expect that we will limit our work in some areas in
order to make more of our resources available to
deal with more serious or significant problems.
This process of designating specific priorities
will be.undertaken in conjunction with our Advisory
Committee to ensure that the community we serve
has full knowledge of, and participation in, the
difficult task of making priority decisions.
Furthermore, this process of determining priorities
will be an on -going one, with new priorities deter-
mined when former needs have been met and new ones
identified.
Excluded Case Types: We are prohibited by law from representing persons
accused of crimes- -the public defender provides this
service. We also refer to private attorneys all
cases that seek to collect a monetary judgement
since the private bar will customarily handl% these
cases even for the indigent. We also antici ?ate
referring most bankruptcies to a panel of private
attorneys.
Eligibility: Our income guidelines are established in part by
federal regulations. However, we do have some
flexibility in how they are finally set and the
manner in which they are applied. We can make some
exceptions if there is a compelling need.
Generally, the criteria we use are set forth. - below.
These criteria are subject to change by the staff
and our Advisory Committee as the needs of clients,
the community, and the resources of the office
demand:

Private Attorney: We will refer to the private bar many cases where
eligibility is marginal and a fee might be obtained
from a source other than a client's income, i.e.
excess real or personal property.
Due to our limited budget and staff, (3 attorneys, 1 paralegal and 1 secretary)
we will be unable to establish regular office hours in local communities,
much as we would like to do this. Instead we ask that persons who want to
inquire about help call us by telephone, collect if necessary, and we will
either gather information over the phone or set up an appointment at a place
,—convenient to the client.

ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND
Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, Inc. (SMRLS) is a private non-
profit, Minnesota Corporation that is funded in large part by a national
organization entitled the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). LSC is a public,
non - profit corporation created and funded by Congress to provide legal
services to low- income persons throughout the United States. SMRLS was formed
in the Spring of 1977 to expand legal services into Southern Minnesota.
The legal services office which has been in operation in St. Paul (Legal
Assistance of Ramsey County) for many years, was merged into SMRLS and is
now the administrative center of the new agency.
At present SMRLS receives funds to provide legal assistance to low- income
people in all 35 southern -most counties of Minnesota. We have offices in
St. Paul, Mankato, Albert Lea, Winona and Worthington.
SMRLS is governed by a Board of Directors currently composed of 19 members.
6 members presently reside in Ramsey County. The remainder reside in other
areas in which the program has its offices. Not all the areas where new
offices have opened are represented as yet, including the Carver office.
With a full complement the Board will have 30 members, 20 of which will-be
from areas outside of St. Paul.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Each local office will have its own Advisory Committee composed of community
residents who will provide input to the local staff on community needs and
priorities. Each Advisory Committee will also be responsible for selecting
the members of the SMRLS Board of Directors who will represent their own
area on the Board.
The SMRLS Board has adopted a policy that each Advisory Committee be comprised
primarily of eligible clients. However, the remainder of the membership is
open to other interested residents including attorneys, social services
staff, group representatives and anyone else who'd like to participate.
If you or anyone you know has any questions about our office, or would like
to know more, about becoming a member of our Advisory Committee, just contact
our office at the number or address listed above.
We're happy to be here and we'll be happy to hear from you.

MEMORANDUM
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
TO: Mayor Ralph Westlund, Paul Ackland, Gary Plotz,
Buz Santzen, Marlo Priebe, George Field, Jean
Lieberg, Ken Lever
FROM: Jack Hoeschler
RE: Hutchinson §8 Housing
DATE: August 15, 1980
This memo is to summarize the various points
discussed and agreed upon when Ken Lever and I were in
Hutchinson last Tuesday.
1) Building location: The Mayor and Skip Quade
told us of plans for the new downtown mall development and
requested that we do whatever we could to allow room for
some mall parking on the site. Everyone agreed that the
ideal situation would be to locate the building along the
highway on the other side of the block, but this will not be
possible because of the time and cost of site acquisition.
We did indicate that we would be mindful of the city's needs
for parking in the siting and design of the building. -
Specifically it appears that some parking may be available
on the south end of the site. We expressed concern, however,
that the building not be surrounded by a sea of blacktop
since the site already lacks visual amenities. Gary P1otz
and Skip Quade indicated that the mall plans will contain
special landscaping and an improvement to the National Food
store rear facade since Jefferson Street will be vacated to
provide additional parking.
21 Senior Citizens' Center: We discussed
numerous problems with respect to the Senior Citizens'
Center, most of which.involved cost or planning issues. It
was agreed that the HRA should take responsibility for the
design and operation of the center and that Jean Lieberg
would be responsible for coordinating all Hutchinson input
with respect to the design and programming of the space.
She gave us the names of Kathleen McCormick and Marilyn Hall
as resource persons to whom the architect could turn with
specific questions on design and layout. We discussed the
question of size at some length.. It was agreed that the
5,000 square foot gross size was little more than a rough
figure taken out of the air. All agreed that we need to
analyze the size issue much more closely not only because of
its capital cost implications but also because the operating
costs of a center that size are going to have significant
implications for the city.
We noted that MHFA is pushing to keep the housing
limited to 60 units because MHFA does not believe there is a
market for 80 units in Hutchinson. While we are resisting
this effort we need to approach our plans as if we can get
only 60 units. Such a size reduction has cost implications
not only for the land but also for the Senior Citizens'
Center itself. The land price is figured at $1,000 per
unit and if there are only 60 units there will be $20,000
less in the land price and consequently $20,000. less avail -
able for the Senior Citizens' Center. Likewise, the amount
1 -2-
of community center space covered by the mortgage would be
reduced from 2,000 to 1,500, square feet with a reduction to
60 units. At the same time MHFA is asking us to consider
taking some of that 1,500 square feet and including it in
the building for the use of the tenants only, separate from
the community center. This issue has not yet been resolved.
In response to our questions,,, Gary Plotz confirmed
that the city will be able to come up with whatever capital
funds,are necessary to build the center as finally agreed
upon. We are working on a capital cost budget of $50 per
square foot. Gary indicated that the city would hope to
raise this money by a tax increment bond issue. I indicated
to him that we did not care how the money was raised.as long
as the city recognized its responsibility to come up with..
the money.- I forgot to tell him that MHFA may require that
-the city's share of the capital cost along with the developer's
equity be expended on the project before any loan funds are
used. Thus, this money may be called for as early as November
under our current accelerated schedule.
3). Fire Concerns: We discussed Fire Marshall
Field's concerns about the proximity of the _project to above
ground fuel storage tanks on the south and the northeast.
It was agreed that we would try to move the building as far
north on the lot as possible. We would also have a blank
wall without windows on the south end. The city will be
taking steps to require such tanks to be buried in the future.
Mr. Field further indicated that he would like the
-3-
.•
stand pipe- connection for the sprinkler system to be located
on the west side of the building by the front door rather
than on the east side. Other than these requests he said
that a building meeting standard code provisions would be
acceptable to him. He would, however, like to see some
details on the plans with respect to how the smoke detection
requirements of the code will be met.
4), Alley Vacation: We indicated that we would
not require vacation of the entire alley - only the north
132 feet. Since we were now attempting to tuck the community
center into the first floor of the building we would not
need to have the gas line which runs down the alley relocated.
We did express our concern about the unsightly nature of the
power line that is currently located in the alley. After
some checking, Skip Quade indicated that the power utility
was willing to bury the line for this block and the block
north. Buz Santzen confirmed that the cost of such work
would be the responsibility of the city. The public hearing
on the vacation will occur on August 25 and the second
reading of the the vacation ordinance will be on the second
Tuesday of September. Thus all of this work will be done in
time for the submission to MHFA on September 15. Buz indicated
that he anticipated no problem with respect to the vacation
since we were not asking for the entire alley to be closed.
5) Survey: Mario Priebe will be responsible for the
survey. He will provide us first with a preliminary survey
and then the rest of the topographic and other details will
-4-
be filled in. We indicated that we would like to.have the
survey by about September 7 so that we can coordinate it
with. the title policy and make sure there are no problems.
I will send to Marlo a copy of the MHFA /HUD survey require-
ments.
6) Title Problems: Gary indicated that he had
told the History Museum of the need to move and that he
would now send them a formal letter stating that the site
would have to be cleared of the buildings by November 1,
1980. The building has already been purchased and will be
moved to a different site. BUz indicated that clearing the
reversionary interest that showed up on the title policy
will be no problem. He is merely waiting for a decree of
distribution showing distribution of the property to the
persons from whom the city has already received a quit claim
deed.

JUNE JULY 1980 VOLUME I - ISSUE TWO
It has become evident that there are
those receiving this newsletter who
are not familiar with many aspects of
the Federal Dutch Elm Disease Demon-
stration Program. Therefore, this
second issue of the "Demonstration
Six" will begin with a brief descrip-
tion of how the program originated,
what it has accomplished, and °what
it still hopes to do.
In fiscal year 1978, Congress granted
the United States Forest Service
$2.5 million in General Forestry
Assistance funds for Dutch elm disease
special projects. This appropriation
would allow State and Private Forestry
and the Agricultural Extension Service
to provide technical and educational
assistance in-establishing disease
management and utilization projects.
The objectives of this assistance
program were 1) to make available,
on a nationwide basis, information
and education to communities, municipal
governments, landowners, and individual
homeowners on the history, incidence,
severity, and management of Dutch
elm disease; 2) to make available
information and education on the
utilization of elm trees infected
and killed by Dutch elm disease;
and 3) to establish and maintain, in
selected areas of the United States,
demonstration sites to show the
application and results of effective
Dutch elm disease management and
utilization programs.
Minnesota was one of the states selected
to participate in this Forest Service
Dutch elm disease and utilization pro-
gram. At the end of 1978, the State's
project had completed the initial
stages of establishing high performance
Dutch elm disease management programs
in six selected Minnesota cities- -
Fergus Falls, Granite Falls, Hutchinson,
Litchfield, Little Falls, and Wadena - -to
augment the basic tree removal' - program
already existing in each of the communities.
The year 1978, was one of organization,
the demonstration program being structured
and its future years being planned.
The year 1979, was one of implementation,
disease management programs replacing
existing tree removal programs. This
year, 1980, has been one of evaluation
and further implementation.
This community demonstration program is
anticipated to run for a five -year
period. Federal appropriations, however,
are granted on a yearly basis. If Congress
funds its remaining two years, the demon-
stration program will have developed
a workable management system whereby
Dutch elm disease can be suppressed
over a number of years, giving communities
time to re- establish their urban forests
with mixed stands of shade trees. The
intent of Minnesota's federally funded
Dutch elm disease program has been,
and still is, to demonstrate the effective-
ness of known disease management practices- -
inspection, sanitation, root graft barrier
placement, systemic fungicide injection,
The Demonstration Six

June /July 1980
therapeutic pruning, etc. It is hoped
that with the additional federal
assistance - -both financial and technical- -
the increase in elm losses due to Dutch
elm disease can be stopped and eventually
reduced to a level which can be handled
economically by each city with its own
finances.
GUEST EDITORIAL
-The City of Fergus Falls feels fortunate
that it was selected as one of the
participants in the Federal Dutch Elm
Disease Demonstration Program. Annual
continuation of this demonstration program
will depend on the availability of funds
each year. This program not only benefits
Fergus Falls and other demonstration
cities, but also people and communities,
whether in Minnesota or other areas,
who are concerned about their elm
trees. When this program is completed,
the information derived from it will be
available to anyone, on what to do and
what not to do, in the management of
Dutch elm disease. I feel that it is
the responsibility of all concerned to
express to state and federal congressman
the importance of this program so as
to help secure funds for continuation into
yet another year. In this way only, will
the federal legislature become aware
of the seriousness of the Dutch elm disease
situation and of the commitment the
people in Minnesota are willing to make
in bringing this disease to a manageable
level.
The City of Fergus Falls is proud of its
trees and was selected to receive the
TREE CITY USA award in 1978 and 1979.
Newspaper publicity and radio coverage
have brought to Fergus Falls an even
greater awareness of the aesthetic
and environmental value of its elm
population.
Financial assistance from this program
has made it possible for the City of
Fergus Falls to expand its Dutch elm
disease management practices. Some
activities made possible by this
program were:
1. Creating the position of full -time
"City Forester ",
2. Hiring an additional tree inspector
when survey work was at its "peak ",
3. Installing root graft barriers,
4. Using systemic fungicides,
5. Setting -up laboratory facilities
to test samples for Dutch e]wtr:
disease, and w_
6. Providing a detailed record - keeping
system.
We feel this project is preparing the
City with the knowledge and background
which will enable it to continue with
Dutch elm disease management after_the
federal program is no longer available.

Fergus Falls City Forester
ITEMS OF INTEREST
.On September 2 -4, 1980, the demonstration
program will conduct a tour. Litchfield
and Little Falls will be the two
communities visited, due to their close
proximity to the Twin Cities. People
from all over the United States and even
Canada have been invited to observe the
management practices being implemented
and the utilization project which produces
non - hazardous elm firewood. With
Minnesota's Dutch Elm Disease Demonstra-
tion Program now into its third year,
it is time to show others what has been
accomplished in implementing known
disease management practices into "real"
urban environments. Invitations have
been mailed, and it is hoped that
a large number will attend.

An elm trunk spray program that includ d
the application of 0.5 percent Dursbaro
to the lowest two feet of 5,000 elms
was completed in Little Falls on
April 21, 1980. Public and private
elms were treated on a community -wide
basis. A crew of five (5) men completed
the task in eight (8) days. The
projected impact of controlling the
overwintering bark beetles should be a
3 percent drop in the Dutch elm disease
rate based on 1) fall and spring
sampling counts, 2) number of contaminated
beetles, and 3) last year's disease rate.
This kind of application is viewed only
as a supplement to Dutch elm disease
sanitation efforts in areas where native
elm bark beetle populations are monitored.

Little Falls' spray program was supervised
by City Tree Inspector, Chuck Donnelly,
with assistance from Charlie Evenson,
Minnesota DNR, and William Phillipsen,
Extension Entomologist. Spraying will
reduce the native elm bark beetle
population if all the elms in a community
are sprayed, but the disease fungus is
not affected and a treated tree is
still susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Dursban merely reduces the beetle pop-
ulation so that the disease will not
spread as efficiently. Dutch elm disease
program personnel are optomistic that the
use of Dursban, as an augment to the
existing intensive sanitation program
in Little Falls, will help to further
reduce Dutch elm disease losses this
season. However, Dursban cannot be
expected to control Dutch elm disease
by itself.
Last fall (1979), City Forester Greg
Ustruck and Steve Cook, Minnesota DNR,
conducted a trunk spray program in
Granite Falls. The City of Wadena looks
like a good candidate for this approach
this fall, whereas most of Fergus Falls
has low beetle numbers.

THE MIRACLE CURE
Much publicity has been recently generated
concerning the bacterium that in the
laboratory was found to inhibit the
growth of the Dutch elm disease fungus.
Radio, television, and newspaper articles
have linked the University of Minnesota
to that research being done by a
Montana professor. The Department of
Plant Pathology has never been involved
with, or consulted by, Dr. Strobel of
Montana who is doing this research. The
Freshwater Biological Institute, a
part of the University of Minnesota,
is funding the project. The biologists
at the Freshwater Biological Institute
are very apprehensive of the immense
publicity these preliminary studies have
received. The news has been spread
nation -wide and the Department of Plant
Pathology is receiving phone calls from
as far away as California on the subject.
What we know at this time is that the
corporation formed between the
Freshwater Biological Institute and
Montana State University has contracted
the production of this bacterium with
Chevron Chemical Company. Experiments
with the bacterium are going to be
conducted in Minnesota for the first
time this year (1980). The Department
of Plant Pathology will be monitoring
these experiments and so, will have an
involvement in the project. The
excessive publicity was generated by
the Public Relations Section of the
Freshwater Biological Institute.
