which would enable the sale of improvement bonds and the Police /Fire Station bond,
if the referendum passes. It was his recommendation that letters be written to the
Senators and Representatives involved with the Bill and give support to its passage.
The provisions in the Bill cover five basic areas, namely:
1. raising the allowable bond interest rates;
2. increasing the dollar limitation on negotiated issues;
3. raising the permissible assessment interest rate for special assessments;
4. raising the allowable interest rate on debt instruments, including tax
anticipation certificates; and
5. providing a revision to the present limitations in July, 1981 to Allow
legislators to study the issue more thoroughly in the interim to assure
that the above provisions are appropriate in view of the present market
conditions.
Following discussion, Alderman Gruenhagen moved that the City Council go on record
to support the Hanson - Schreiber Municipal Bond Interest Rate Bill (H.F. 2214 and
S.F. 2227) to increase the interest rate on bonds. Seconded by Alderman Lueneburg,
the motion carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: Trunk Watermain Replacement
The existing 12 inch watermain crossing the river by the Amoco Plant is on
piers. Last fall we found the North pier had deteriorated to require some
emergency repair.
A total study of the crossing was made and the following items are defective:
1. All insulation on exposed pipe needs to be replaced.
2. All piers have to be repaired or replaced.
The estimated cost of said work is $10,000.00. It is estimated this would be
cost effective for the piers for about 15 years. The insulation, however,
does have a great amount of damage through vandalism and the repair of same
is probably cost effective for 3 years.
- At the time the crossing was originally built, the State Health Department did
not approve underground crossings of rivers. With improved pipe and pipe
connections, such underground crossings are acceptable by the Stake. The
cost of installing such a crossing is $20,000.00. It is anticipated that the
maintenance on an underground crossing will be very little based on the
experience we have had with our existing underground crossing.
I, therefore, recommend we install an underground crossing in 1980. Inasmuch
as this is a trunk line, it will not be assessed and no public hearing is
required. The cost would be paid from our Water and Sewer account.

CITY OF HUTCHINSON

SUBJECT: Trunk Sanitary Sewer Line Replacement
This winter we have found that a section of sanitary sewer line between Adams
Street and Monroe Street on Fifth Avenue Southeast is deteriorated and causing
reoccuring backups in the system at an increasing rate. It is estimated it
will cost $7,500 to replace said section of line.
I recommend the replacement be made in 1980. The fact that this is a trunk line
it will not be assessed and no public hearing is required. The cost would be
paid from our Water and Sewer Account.

Gentlemen:
for Architectural and

nv
This Supplemental Agreement for architectural and engineering services is in con-
nection with additional schematic design work for the proposed Fire and Police Building.
The additional work is necessary because a new site has been selected and only a small
percentage of the design accomplished for the Fire and Police Building, proposed to be
located on a site east of Library Park, can be directly applied to the new site. Conse-
quently, the schematic design must be revised to fit the new site considering site con-
figuration, public safety, vehicular access, parking, surrounding land use, solar orien-
tation, etc.
Compensation for our services to perform the additional work will be on a cost basis
as set forth in our original agreement with the City of Hutchinson. We agree that our
charges for the additional work required will not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).
The charges for our services in connection with Items A, B, C, and D as described
in our agreement with the City of Hutchinson dated July 20, 1979, will be increased
from $15,000 to $20,000. The additional $5,000 is above the total "not to exceed"
amount.
We are willing that this letter constitutes a contract between Toltz, King, Duvall,
AnBerson and Associates, Inc. and the City of Hutchinson upon the signature of a properly
authorized official of the City of Hutchinson.

SUBJECT: Service and Service Contract
Dear Finley,
The situation in the service department is that we have a
service rate for service contracts that is cheaper than the
normal service charges charged to customers that call us on
a daily or day -to -day basis.
The normal.rate for service on a day -to -day basis is $340 a
day plus mileage of .35 per mile, where our standard service
contract rate is $300 per day plus .35 per mile. This gives
a customer a discount in our service charges that will help
them to realize an additional break in their cost of main-
taining their equipment.
On a six day service contract versus six days of called -in
service, you would experience a savings of $240. °
I hope I have helped in any of the questions that may have
pertained to the service contract. If there are any questions
that I haven't been able to answer, please call me and I will
be glad to help you in any way that I can. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Minnesota Department of Transportation, is requested to provide for improvements
on the aforesaid portion of Trunk Highway No. 15 consisting particularly of storm
sewer, curb and gutter and concrete surfacing, the width of said surfacing to
continue to be variable. It should be from 51 feet face to face of curb at
Fourth Avenue North to 55 feet face to face of curb at Fifth Avenue North, and
this shall be considered construction and improvement of said roadway, to a
greater width and capacity than is necessary to accomodate normal trunk highway
traffic.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hutchinson, will
continue to restrict parking on both sides of Trunk Highway 15 (Main Street) from
Fourth Avenue North to Fifth Avenue North to provide the greater capacity than is
necessary to accomodate normal trunk highway traffic.

is awarded for the construction of said improvements, the City shall enter into an
agreement with the State which shall provide that the City shall pay not less than
25% of the cost.of construction of work performed on said roadway of greater width
and capacity than is necessary to accommodate normal trunk highway traffic, that
the City shall pay its proportionate share of the cost of constructing necessary
underground drainage structures computed on the basis of areas drained by such

the State at the time such agreement is entered into, a sum equal to an estimate
of the City's share of such construction costs as prepared by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation.
The City shall, in addition to paying its proportionate share of the cost of
the proposed work, obtain at its sole cost and expense all necessary right of way
easements and construction permits for the work to be performed outside the limits
of the trunk highway or established City streets, together with all drainage
outlet rights where necessary. Such easements, permits and rights shall be
obtained and satisfactory evidence thereof, furnished the Department of

For your information, the "interest rate ceiling" bill'supported by the

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Thank you for your cooperation in providing the housing unit informa-
tion we requested for preparing your population estimate. Using this
information together with estimates of occupancy and persons per household
and of the group quarters population, we estimate your population as of
January 1, 1980 to be g,L4 5 'A This is based on our calculation of a
total of 3, -3 housing units in your city as of January 1, 1980.
Although there will be a census or complete head count of each city
and township's population on April 1, 1980, the official results for this
census will not be available until Spring, 1981. In the meantime, this
office's January 1, 1980 estimate will be used for calculation of 1981
aids and levy limits. 'Unlike past years, you do not need to pass a res-
olution adopting this population estimate for calculation of local govern-
ment aids or levy limits.
All population estimates are subject to some error; however, if you
feel there is a major error (more than 5 -10 %), please contact Sally Findley,
of my staff at (612) 296 -2726 within two weeks. Challenges can be based on
corrections to the number of building permits, vacancy rate, or group
quarters populations submitted to-us. Unless we hear from you by March 24,
1980, we will forward the estimate given above to the Department of Revenue
for its calculations.

A. PROPOSED BUILDING CODE BILL:
Duke Addicks presented copies of a proposed bill, drafted by the
Building Codes division of the Dept. of Administration, Represent-
atives of the division explained the provisions of the proposed bill
and asked comment from the members of the C.O.O.C. After extensive

County- Township) to enforce subdivision and zoning regulations within

6. PROPOSED COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AMENDMENTS:
Don Slater discussed with the C.O.O.C. the proposals to amend the

RE: Municipal Bond Interest Rate Bill
THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET IS SHUT DOWN IN MINNESOTA. Due
municipal general obligation and municipal revenue bonds,
cent interest limitation, are not salable in Minnesota.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
to escalating interest rates,
both subject to a seven per-
The League of Cities municipal bond interest rate bill was introduced last week and is
recorded as House File 2214 and Senate File 2227. SENATOR MARV HANSON, Hallock is the
chief author in the Senate and REP. WILLIAM SCHREIBER, Brooklyn Park, is the chief
author in the House. This bill is considered to be a priority item and will have
preference on the House Tax Committee hearing agenda. PLEASE CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR
IMMEDIATELY AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT THE HANSON- SCHREIBER MUNICIPAL BOND INTEREST RATE
BILL. The authors on the bill that your legislators s ould be supporting are:
Senate
SENATOR HANSON, Chief Author
Senator Steve Keefe, Minneapolis
Senator Doug Johnson, Cook
Senator John Keefe, Hopkins
Senator Ron Sieloff, St. Paul
House
REP. SCHREIBER, Chief Author
Rep. Harry "Tex" Sieben, Hastings
Rep. Jim Casserly, Minneapolis
Rep. Carl Johnson, St. Peter
Rep. Terry Dempsey, New Ulm
The bill covers the five basic areas summarized below. A more detailed explanation of
the provisions and their underlying rationale will be explained in next week's League
Legislative Bulletin. The areas covered include (1) raising the allowable bond interest
rates, 2 increasing the dollar limitation on negotiated issues, (3) raising the
permissible assessment interest rate for special assessments, (4) raising the allowable
interest rate on debt instruments, including tax anticipation certificates, and (5)
providing a revision to the present limitations in July, 1981 to allow legislators to
study the issue more thoroughly in the interim to assure that the above provisions are
appropriate in view of the present market conditions.

RECORD RATES PLAGUE MARKET
Soaring interest rates are causing. serious problems for state and local
goverments which use the tax exempt market to fund cash flow requirements and
essential capital improvements. Chaotic market conditions are producing rates
substantially above previous record levels. States, cities, schools, counties,
special districts and agencies with statutory interest rate limitations,
regardless of name or credit rating, are without a market for their needed
funds.
Inflation is the guilty party. The Federal government, in its interest to
restrict the supply and flow of money in the economy, has substantially
increased the cost of money to banks borrowing through the Federal Reserve
System. Secondly, in an effort to limit the supply of money, the Treasury has
been willing to pay higher interest rates on their own certificates, notes, and
bills making them more appealing to investors, thus creating competition for
funds. High yielding returns on attractive money market instruments,
certificates of deposit offered by banks and the new money market certificates
only intensify this competition.
We are now approaching the time of the year when many local governments fund
their cash flow needs and a majority of communities use tax exempt funding to
finance annual projects. Projects may range from public buildings, utilities
and various improvements to mandated water and sewer programs.
If you are not sure of funding sources, you might want to delay calling for bids
on projects. Be sure to check with your architect or engineer.
If you have additional questions or would like more information about rates and
the market, call toll -free 1- 800 - 328 -8200 or 1- 612 - 338 -3535 (inside Minnesota).

Interest Rate Revision
High interest rates have caused many issuers with lower credit ratings to be
shut out of the municipal bond market because of statutory limits on municipal
interest rates. Underwriters and investors sought markets in other states
(without these rate limitations) or purchased taxable federal agency obligations
which provided returns in excess of the tax exempt benefit. Communities caught
in this interest rate bind find they can not attract needed capital to provide
essential improvements such as water and sewer. Projects are delayed and
communities are forced to go through the expense of reoffering issues at a later
date. In the interim, project costs are escalated, forcing cost estimates to be
revised upward.
As a result of these conditions, many states with rate limits below or near
present interest rates have proposed legislation which would increase interest
rate limitations. Minnesota for example, has several bills currently before the
legislature :,relating to maximum interest ..rates. One bill, as it currently
appears, would increase the maximum interest rate on tax - exempt obligations to
the general market rate if sold at public sale or to a maximum of 10io if the tax
exempt financing is purchased through negotiation.
Such legislation raises concern by some that market rates as a whole will drift
to a higher level. This is not necessarily true as evidenced by the last upward
revision of the limit in 1969. Communities with lower ratings were allowed
access to the bond market due to the higher ceiling if it was needed. The
market for higher rated communities remained relatively stable. The purpose of
current legislation is to allow interest rates to adjust to market conditions
and to allow all communities, regardless of their rating, to enter the bond
market for necessary funds.

Call to Order
Chairman Chuck Warner called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. Delegates,
guests and staff were introduced.
Ed Edman from the St. Cloud District Office of DOT explained the program
development process. He stated that due to an expected shortfall of highway
revenues resulting from a rapid rise in gasoline conservation, DOT needed
to establish a priority schedule for road repairs. Edman explained that
meetings like this one were being conducted throughout the state by each
Regional Development Commission and that the results of each meeting would
be summed and then averaged to determine the relative weighing of the five
various evaluation criteria which DOT will consider in the establishment
of a revised roadbed repair schedule.
To ascertain the relative priority of local, inner - regional highway repair
sites the committee was also asked to ammend a previously developed list of
projects and rank them each as a high, medium or low priority.
Planner Goldman explained that the Minnesota Trunk Highway Sufficiency Ratiiig
is designed to evaluate the physical conditions of a highway, assign a point
value that may be used to compare one road to another, and also indicate
segments that have critical deficiencies in one or more areas. The rating
is utilized by the Office of Program Development, Division of Transportation
Development, as a primary input in determining priorities for Construction
Programs. Other factors, such as sociological and ecological impact, cost/
benefit, funding capabilities, system level, etc. are considered in establish-
ing final priorities.
6E TAC
February 7, 1980
Page 2
The sufficiency system creates reports that provide an item by item analysis
of the physical condition of a highway route plus information indicating
to what degree the road is serving its intended function in the statewide
system. It has the capability of combining ratings from a selected group
of road segments and calculating a weighted average of their sufficiency.
These combined ratings provide the construction programmer with the capabil-
ity of obtaining a numerical indicator for comparing the condition of one
proposed project to others. When combined with the other project selection
criteria, it becomes a valuable tool for construction priority programming.
The following factors and their relative weighing are incorporated into the
sufficiency rating.
I. Condition - 30 points II. Safety - 40 points
A. Structure (15) A. Surface width (10)
B. Load capacity (15) B. Shoulder width (10)
C. Stopping sight distance (5)
D. Hazards (15)
III. Service - 30 points
A. Access control (5)
B. Passing opportunity (10)
C. Ride quality (5)
D. Traffic capacity (10)
On an overall scale of 1 -100 a rating of 0 -59 -would be considered poor,
60 -69 below average, 70 -79 average and 80 -100 above average.
Mr. Edman explained the next four project selection criteria.
1. Cost /Effectiveness: He defined this as a measure of how much benefit
would result from expenditures of various levels on a selected segment
of roadbed. The measure would be expressed in terms of a revised •
sufficiency rating which would be obtained as a result of spending cer-
tain amounts of money on selected sites. (i.e. a $1 million expenditure
may raise the sufficiency rating of a road from 55 to 65 while $1 million
may raise that level to 75).
2. Goods Movement: He explained that this was a measure of the volume and
ability of the local roads to handle the movement of people and commodi-
ties between the regional center, sub - regional centers and the small
communities. Basically, this measure would connote the relative concern
for improving inner - regional travel particularly along the major arterials
used for the movement of industrial /ag- products.
3. Recreational (Peak Month): He explained that this was -a measure of the
volumes and the ability of the local roads to accommodate tourist traffic.
(For this region that would mean primarily the movement of traffic.north
and south through the region.)
6E TAC
February 7, 1980
Page 3
4.. Functional Classification: He explained this measure considers the rela-
tive importance attached to maintaining and improving those roadways of
the highest functional grade, (i.e. U.S. Highways 12, 71 and 212 and
State Highways 4, 7, 15, 19, 22 and 23.) This would facilitate.easy and
comfortable travel through this region when coming from someplace else
going to another place beyond this area.
The committee was asked to distribute 100 total points among the five various
measures based on the relative importance they attributed to each measure
for this particular region. The votes were tabulated and averaged to arrive
at the final recommended point values for each measure. The following chart
illustrates the voting.

Ken Madole stated that.the final average point values were similar to those
of the other RDCs he had worked with. The final DOT point values will be
announced when all RDC totals are available.
Ken Madole next led the committee through an explanation of the various
recommended projects he had assembled for subsequent ranking.
Some additional projects were suggested and added to the prepared list.,.

Planner Goldman asked if there was interest to discuss various mass transit
options at some future date. The Transportation Committee expressed a posi-
tive inclination to review such concerns.
The committee thanked the three DOT representatives for coming and soliciting
input from this region.
