SUBJECT: Policy on Refuse Billing
---------------------------- - - - - --
History
The policy on refuse has been that charges for refuse begin at the time the
owner receives the water meter installed. At this time the water service
also changes from "construction water" to "full service." Refuse charges
start when regular water service is provided, whether or not utilized.
To my knowledge, this policy goes back to the days Mayor Kost was in office.
Past Litigation
City Attorney Schantzen has informed me that there was some litigation on
this Council policy that resulted in a favorable ruling for the City; there-
fore, the policy has continued for years.
.A suggestion is that for new construction the Building Official and /or Cashier
review this with 'the` owner at the time - the- comhined permit and meter is paid
for.

We moved into out new home on July 13th, 1979 at 1245 Roiling
oaks Lane. We were inspected on the next day, and assumed that
city services including refuse pickup would then be in effect,
After not recieving any garbage service through July and all of
August, I called Junkers Sanitation,- This was on the 9th of Sept,
and on the 14th, they made their first stop.
When I received. my first water billing in Oct., garbage service
was charged, from the time of inspection July 14th, through Sept.
I deducted. $7.50 from the total billing, for the services which
I did not recieve, and which I paid a private party,- to have my
refuse removed.
I then reeieved a letter from city hall informing me, that
city policy dictated I owed the total amoant, whether I recieved
the services or not.
I have been withholding payment because of the total disregard
for fairness to the individual tgxpayers in Hutchinson, I find that
I am not the only citizen who has had this experience.,..
I am enclosing my check fo_! $7.50, less the $1.00 penalty
charge, and would request permission to appear before the city
council in regards to their stand on thid policy.

SUBJECT: Updating Building Permit Ordinance
-------------------------- - - - - --
The problem of poor installation of wood burning stoves and /or proper vents
and dampers was discussed at a Department Head meeting months ago.
The Council requested staff to look into amending the City building permit
ordinance to cover this activity.
The attached bulletin (January, 1979) verifies the State of Minnesota requires
a building permit fee for vents and dampers.
Further research of the state law (see attached, Chapter 3) shows that build-
ing permits are required for all changes to "erect, construct, alter, repair,
move, improve, remove, convert...."
Presently, our municipal code exempts the need for building permits where the
total cost is less than $250.00. Our ordinance appears not to conform with either
the Building Code Bulletin or Chapter 3 of the Uniform Building Code.
As an alternative, staff has suggested to amend the local ordinance to match the
state code. (See attached.) It is noted the local option to waive the fees
for small project(s) is included.

City Bond Interest Bill Dangerously
Close to Becoming Political Football
Amid rumors and the natural confusion of important issues as the Legislature strives
toward adjournment, legislation which would give cities relief from the present 7%
bond interest ceiling has made little progress.
The Senate is expected to consider S.F. 2201 (Senator Stumpf) on Monday, March 24. On
the other side of the capitol, the House of Representatives committee on taxes has in-
cluded a somewhat liberalized version of H.F. 2214 as a part of the House version of
the omnibus tax bill. There is still much speculation about whether Senator Davies will
offer amendments which would require the utilization of the Attorney General as bond
counsel for state and local bond issues and a second amendment requiring the use of a
state agency as a buyer and seller of local general obligation bonds.
CITIES SHOULD CONTACT THEIR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND INFORM THEM THAT OUR
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY FOR THIS SESSION IS THE ENACTMENT OF LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD
RESTORE CITY ACCESS TO BOND FINANCING. The League supports legislation:
to With no artificial limits or ceilings on the interest cities can pay
for general obligation or revenue bonds.
2. No time limitation or sunset when the ceiling would return to the
present 7 %.
3a No regulation of industrial development revenue bonds in this legislation.
4. Absolute opposition to the designation of the Attorney General as
bond counsel for the state and cities and counties.
5. Absolute opposition to designation of the state as buyer and seller
of local general obligation bonds.

league of minnesota cities
March 17, 1980
TO: City Mayors, Managers /Administrators , Clerks FOR YG lR INFORMATION
FROM: Donald Slater, Executive Director
RE: Municipal Bond Interest Rate Bill
Cities can't sell municipal bonds today because state law prohibits them from paying
more than 7% interest on bonds and no municipal security will sell today for that rate.
The League is working for legislation which would eliminate, at best, or raise, at
least, the 7% ceiling.
Unfortunately, the crisis in the sale of municipal bonds has attracted other proposals
which various legislators want to see passed as a part of the legislation which would
provide relief from the 7% ceiling.
One such proposal is that the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota be designated
as bond counsel to all political subdivisions. While at first glance, the idea may
sound economical and appealing, it would force cities under the control of the Attorney
General for bonding with no guarantee that he would have the necessary expertise on his
staff in local government bonding. This could result in chaos with an extended period
during which local bonds couldn't be sold. The Attorney General, moreover, hasn't sought
this authority nor is it certain that investors would accept the Attorney General's op-
inion.
Another proposal is that the State Investment Board be mandatorily designated as the
marketing agent for municipal bonds. This idea would, if enacted, hamstring cities
also. There are a number of problems with this proposal. These include: state control
of the marketability of municipal bonds; availability of services; competency of ser-
vices; and the question of the desire of the agency to embrace these new services.
This proposal is, therefore, very difficult for cities.
These two proposals have no city support and must be defeated at all costs because they
constitute a real threat to municipal bonding.
Another set of proposals, while calling for an increased municipal bond interest ceiling,
propose other restrictions. One is that, even though the legislation provides for a new
10% interest ceiling, it would "sunset" the raise in the ceiling, i.e., return the interest
ceiling set for municipal bonds to 7% as of the "sunset" date, namely July 1, 1981. The
OVER
300 hanover building, 4130 cedar street, saint Paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 222 -2661
Page 2
"sunset" proposal would prohibit cities from selling bonds which require any phased
financing. This rules out any staged development projects. It would also force
cities to rush into the market to beat the "sunset" time since they wouldn't be able
to sell bonds as of July 1, 1981. This would force interest rates up as more cities
hurry into the market to be ahead of the deadline.
A second proposal establishes an interest limit of 9% on July 1, 1981 (called a "sunrise"
provision) for industrial development revenue bonds. Currently, industrial development
revenue bonds sell for 12 - 15% interest and have no statutorily established interest
ceiling. ThE "sunrise" provision would mean that such bonds couldn't be sold after July
1, 1981.
These proposals are aimed at forcing a legislative interim study of bonds, both indus-
trial and general obligation and revenue, and the development of a new bill to regulate
all municipal bonds.
The League Board reviewed carefully this situation and reaffirmed the following long-
standing League policy:
1. The interest rates for municipal bonds should be determined in the market 7
with no artificial limits or ceilings. w..
2. No July 1, 1981 "sunset" provision.
3. No "sunrise" provision regulating the interest rates of industrial development
revenue bonds at 9% as of July 1, 1981.
The Senate has reported a bill to the floor(S.F. 2201 by Senator Stumpfiwhich needs
amendments to eliminate the "sunrise" and "sunset" provisions and allow the market
to establish municipal bond interest rates.
The House Taxes Committee is considering N.F. 2214 (Schrieber, Casserly, Sieben,
Dempsey, C. Johnson) which needs the same kind of amendments.
WE NEED TO GET A BILL THROUGH THE SENATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN AS GOOD A SHAPE AS
POSSIBLE.
WE URGENTLY ASK YOU TO CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND URGE THEM TO SUPPORT S.F. 2201 WITH
AMENDMENTS WHICH WE HOPE SENATOR STUMPF WILL OFFER.
WE FURTHER REQUEST YOU TO URGE YOUR SENATOR TO OPPOSE ANY AMENDMENTS WHICH WOULD DE-
SIGNATE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS BOND COUNSEL FOR POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OR WHICH
WOULD MANDATE THE UTILIZATION OF THE STATE INVESTMENT BOARD FOR THE MARKETING OF
MUNICIPAL BONDS.

recommendations for the development of a comprehensive plan and a policy for the approval
of industrial revenue bonds. TARS editor, Gary Winter, has written an article on the
downtown redevelopment /revitalization process which will appear in the March edition of
Minnesota Cities, the official League magazine.
Sfax Increment Financing and the Legislature
Rumblings over tax increment financing continue to be manifested in this session of the
Minnesota Legislature. A bill has been introduced in the Senate (S.F. 2113) which would
require authorities proposing to establish tax increment financing districts to present
these proposals to the town boards of towns in which any portion of the proposed district
would be located and to members of the school board of each district in the county in
which the proposed district is to be located. A majority of the governing bodies of the
count__township__.and school district would have to approve the tax_increment__proposa�
before the _distri�could_be_cerified- -TARS urges you to notify your city council and
contact local legislators as to the inadvisibility of this bill.
— A-_number of technical amendments to the 1979 Tax Increment Financing Act are proposed
by the League and the Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue. These amendments are merely
to clarify existing language and are obtainable by calling the League office. The most
notable involves changing the terms "redevelopment project ", "housing project ", and
"economic development project" to redevelopment district, housing district and economic
development district to avoid confusion with the term project or project area as defined
in M.S. 462.411, 472A, 458.192, 362A, 474.

Acoma Lynn
The scene of the fire didn't look right, so Acoma &
Lynn Mutual of Hutchinson decided that further investi-
gation was needed. The result was a decision in June lq 7 7
by District Court in Glencoe that the insured was re-
sponsible for the fire and could not collect on the
policy.
Statistics show that a large percentage of all
fires are arson. Too frequently, however, insurance
companies fail to make the necessary investigation.
This was not the case in the March, 4977 loss that
was sustained by Acoma & Lynn Mutual.

Armed with the opinions of these people, the
Board of Acoma & Lynn decided that the loss would have
to be denied. The insured sued the company and the
case was heard before a judge this spring. The court
ruled that the insured or one of his representatives
caused the loss on that night almost two and a half
years ago.
As a result of the hard work of the management of

decision to fight a suspected arson loss, the.company
saved well over $24,000 and an arsonist was not paid.
Acoma & Lynn deserve the praise of the entire insur-
ance industry.
Your company can learn from this as well. By
following a few simply steps, you too can end the
"profit" in arson.
1. Investigate all losses immediately. Any delay
can be costly.
2. Talk to the fire chief and fire fighting personnel
to determine if anything about the loss was
unusual.
3. If you have any doubts, ask the fire chief to
contact the fire marshall in your area immediately.
Alsoprotect the scene_ of the loss so it is not
yo
disturbed by anne.
4. If you feel you have an arson situation, contact
any RAM personnel.. We can give you advice on
what steps need to be taken to determine what the
cause actually was.
5. The main point to remember is to get to the scene
as soon as-- possib.le.and get help if you need it.
Arson does not have to increase. Companies can
challenge suspected arsonists and win. Acoma & Lynn
demonstrated it to all of us.
