Mayor Black read Publication No. 22 37, Notice of Public Hearing on A Proposed Project and the Issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds under the Municipal Industrial Development Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474, As Amended. The public hearing was then opened to the public for comments. Ted Beatty Urged City Council to reject or table the request to 700 Shady Ridge Rd. give the downtown project a chance to proceed. Stated the two projects could not succeed, and the other shop- ping center would kill the downtown. Felt this request must be denied. Don Erickson Felt issuing of bonding in the beginning was an error 731 Shady Ridge Rd. in order to keep a viable downtown. Did not want to see any further issuance of bonds. Milt Brinkman Stated he had same feelings as the others had stated Sioux Hills and felt both projects could not succeed. David McCuskey Commented that back in August the City gave Developers Bond Counsel Diversified a bond for their project. The federal law Dorsey Law Firm imposes a total limit of $10 million that can be spent. The developer found that amount to be spent might cause the project to exceed the $10 million limit. Felt it would need a second developer to take a portion of the project. Therefore, $2,200,000 would be issued to Hecht- Associates -with a lease to K -Mart and the balance of $6,400,000 would remain in the hands of the original developer. The amendment to the bond will not increase the total amount of bonds issued but rather.separate the amount into two projects. Clarence Simonowicz Asked if K -Mart would be developed separately or if both C.R.S. projects would go ahead simultaneously. David McCuskey Responded both projects would go ahead simultaneously. Jim DeMeyer Commented that this is a community serving a community, DeMeyer Realty and should take into account the entire community. There are a lot of personal interests of people who are serving Council Minutes December 2 9, 1979 the community who are surrounded with avenues of con- cern as to how they will be about the business of the business community if more business is developed. Hutchinson is a city with a population to grow in the next few years and to accommodate in the future. The shopping center south of town is a project that will immediately bring revenue to the city after it is built. It is important that these monies and funds come into the city to make it more viable. Mentioned he had talked to Skip Quade and reviewed the proposal made recently. Felt it had some promise, but to accomplish what the city needs and could be incor- porated into the city at this time is far short of developing this. There already is a developer who has came in good faith and put forth money and effort to create space for anyone who would choose to rent this available space. The previously established businesses should be able to compete. Commented the breaks given to Developers Diversified are only monetary. Other communities are doing-the same thing. Cited Litchfield as an example for a fu- ture K -Mart store. The northern traffic will go where they can acquire and fulfill their needs. Need major merchandisers to attract customers. The cost of adver- tising is so high that it becomes costly to attract customers. Would like to see downtown develop. There are needs with the downtown area. Stated he had done computations on footage vs. area placed in. Takes three to four acres to provide store with adequate parking. The previous downtown settings would not allow for downtown growth. Common concern is that it is difficult to do this because of space. Stated major stores will not come in unless they can get visibility. Restricted parking and area limit growth and outreach. Feels that the shopping center is part of the viable plan for the community and will work with the downtown to assist with the downtown. Cited a lesson to be learned. Any subsidized financ- ing is a very dangerous situation. Alluded to the Eisenhower administration and multiple housing units. Expressed concern about the S & L building. Felt it is a very viable part of the downtown. -2- Council Minutes December 29, 1979 DeMeyer (Cont.) Felt the downtown project should be on a larger scale and go with the shopping center on the south of town. Parking is a key to the success of business. Ron McGraw Stated he is interested in the downtown. Had reviewed 325 Washington Ave. W. minutes and saw that the downtown was also a concern of the present Council. Today they have plans for the downtown and feel that would accomplish this. Urge re- jection of the request made today and go ahead with the downtown. _ Milt Brinkman Felt DeMeyer was contradicting himself in his.state- Sioux Hills ments. He is asking the City to finance a project to compete with the present businesses. John Miller Not sure what DeMeyer was saying. DeMeyer had ad- 714 Shady Ridge Rd. mitted he was promoter of the proposed shopping center south of town. -- Raised question about Ken Gruenhagen being on the Coun- cil and working for DeMeyer. Asked if there wasn't a conflict of interest. Stated other Council members have abstained from voting or resigned from the Council under similar situations. Wanted the City Attorney's opinion on the matter. M. D. Schantzen Stated there was no conflict of interest on the part City Attorney of Ken Gruenhagen serving on the Council. Jim DeMeyer Commented on favorable financing. Tax increment financ- ing is favorable financing but not industrial revenue bond -- it is common place financing. Tax payer sub- sidizes tax increment financing. . Stated Ken Gruenhagen is only an employee of DeMeyer Realty and has nothing to do with Developer Diversi- fied project. Bob Carney Where do you draw the line on who gets financing? 465 Shady Ridge Rd. Who bears the cost? Skip Quade Referred to DeMeyer's comments regarding rents on new Sioux Hills space and subsidizing. Stated they are trying to build a strong downtown base and strengthen the existing base. Downtown merchants have accepted the plan. Couldn't agree with DeMeyer's comments. There is no way that both projects could succeed. If the downtown project goes, it is a private project and the rates are set. It will not affect the other businesses, and some will split off and set up additional offices in the new space. -3- Council Minutes December 29, 1979 Bob Stearns Stated one concern is the tax base. As you look over 375 First Ave. N.W. the country, you find many cities that have large shop- ping centers built on the outskirts. They have suffered and the downtown has deteriorated. Wondered if loca- tion of a shopping center should not be considered. Didn't think many merchants would put money into re- modeling their buildings. Didn't think the tax in- come would go down as the new project goes in downtown. Merchants would be willing to upgrade their building and value of them. Develop the downtown area rather than south of town. Duane Dickey Stated he liked to see things happen in the building 105 Second Ave. S.W. business, whether downtown or south of town. Felt it was necessary to get act together and make presenta- tion or request. Developers Diversified is ready to do business. Is.this open to anybody? Can I make the same request if I have the same situation? Didn't see how one can be turned down and complement the other. How can you take the position and hold one off until the other is ready to go? Posed the thought of how can one hold off until something else gets going? Dick McClure Stated he had no preference on projects but had a ques- 522 Shady Ridge Rd. tion. Made reference to Plaza 15 project and asked what happened to the downtown after the shopping cen- ter was built. Did it hurt their business. Mayor Black Commented he had conducted the public hearing differ- ently this tide without making any comments from the Chair prior to the hearing. He felt the things said needed to be said as they were a subject of substan- tial interest to many people. However, there had been very little comment made germain to the subject on in- dustrial revenue bonds. This question was resolved by the Council when they issued a bond to Developers Di- versified for their project. The subject this after- noon had to do with the issue of two parts of the bond so that the developer can develop the project. The question was not whether or if, but rather whether it will be split into two parts. Ralph Westlund Stated the need to go back two and one -half years to Alderman time Council appointed the Downtown Advisory Board. It was appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Coun- cil. A developer was engaged but did not get anything off the ground. In the last three months there has been activity by another developer. The downtown peo- ple are starting to get excited about the project. -4- Council Minutes December 29, 1979 Ralph Westlund (Cont.) The guidelines for industrial revenue bonds state that all information must be submitted to City Hall and the Council. At time approval was given to $8.6 million bond they were shown drawings. Now they are talking about a divided or scaled down project. There would be two developers and different figures. This becomes a new issue. Need to look at the downtown and also that the shopping center will increase the tax base. Not only looking at the tax base because of new de- velopment but present value. Feels there is a com- pletely new issue to be considered. Norm Tulman There will be a great visual with the new concept down - 710 Lakewood Dr. town. A new Council was elected so they have to listen to what the people are saying. Businessmen have been here for many years and want to stay here with their business. Cited other towns where shopping centers have been built and the downtown was destroyed. Don't the peo- ple have anything to say about what is going to happen to their community?

O'Borsky FBI National Academy SUBJECT: Investigator Richard Waage has been accepted to attend the FBI National Academy at Quantico, Virginia. This is a great honor for our Department and for Dick and I am addressing this memo to you to request your approval of his attendance at this course. The FBI National Academy is considered the equivalent of a Ph.D. in law enforcement and encourage you to approve his attendance. I have enclosed for your information a synopsis of the courses and also an explanation as to costs. The Academy pays for all costs incurred while Investigator Waage will be there and the City would continue to pay his wages while he attends. The only additional cost that the FBI recom- mends is that the City bear the cost of air fare to and from the Academy approximately halfway through the training session to allow the students to visit home once during the three month period that they are away. I request at this time that you approve the expenditure of funds for that air fare. The cost to the#City in this particular instance is very small and the benefits gained by having a member of our Department trained at the FBI National Academy will be.-of-great benefit to us.

O'Borsky SUBJECT: New Police Vehicle ' I have attached a memo to me from our vehicle maintenance officer which basically explains our current vehicle situation. I agree with his assessment of our current status and request that the Council author- ize the Police Department to purchase a 1980 Buick LeSabre. This vehicle will be utilized as a replacement for the 1976 Chevrolet unmarked police vehicle which will be transferred to the City Engineers office. ., The 1980 Buick will be ordered_..to . our.:,specificatimns .so...,.thar it can be utilized as a police patrol vehicle should our other vehicles break down or become involved in an accident. I personally feel that the 1980 Buick LeSabre is the best car for the money and as you know because of the change in the State Law it is not necessary to go to a bid situation and feel that we can get the best deal possible by shopping around. DMO:neb t I � -1 POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Chief O' Borsk FROM: Chuck Jones SUBJECT: New Vehicle DATE : 11 -29 -79 Since 11 -13 -79 to date, I have obtained several price quotes for a new un- marked patrol car. I have also .spent some time examining vehicle quality. Through examination I discovered that the Chevrolet, Buick, and Plymouth vehicles were able to meet the 1980 Police Vehicle Specifications. Therefore the following dealerships have supplied vehicle information and prices: Myron Wigen's Chevrolet, Jim Schwanke Motors, and Trail's End Chrysler - Plymouth. Vehicle make and Police Department price of the vehicles examined for purchase are as follows: 1980 Chevrolet Impala $8,235 1980 Chevrolet Malibu $7,843 1980 Plymouth Grand Fury $7,405 1980 Plymouth Volare $7,148 1980 Buick LeSabre $7,368 The Police Department currently owns a 1979 Chevrolet Impala and two 1979 Plymouth Volares. Since these Volares were put into service in February of 1479, many mechanical problems have been experienced: such as, transmissions in both- vehicles either repaired or replaced; further, the front end of the vehicles proved to be very difficult to keep well aligned and therefore get the most mile- age possible out of the tires. On the other hand, the Chevrolet impala has proven to be an exceptionally strong patrol vehicle, displaying good points, such as very little maintenance and down time. The Police Department price as mentioned above for the 1980 Chevrolet vehicle is quite inhibitive compared with other vehicles available. The Plymouth Volare is the lowest priced vehicle on the list; however, I feel it would be a mistake on the part of the city to once again purchase Volares, as we have had many maintenance problems and extensive down time with this vehicle. I am with the opinion (however, it's only speculation) that similar problems would exist if the city were to purchase a Plymouth Grand Fury. The remaining vehicle on the above list is the 1980 Buick LeSabre. This vehicle is quite similar in design and structure to the Chevrolet Impala. The Buick also has the extensive list of items necessary for a police vehicle as stand- ard equipment, where they are optional on the Chevrolet and Plymouth vehicles. You will observe that the price of the Buick is very competitive when compared with the other vehicles on the list. Taking into consideration quality, price, availability of service and parts, it would be my recommendation that the 1980 Buick LeSabre is purchased for the Police Department.

With this letter, I ,Sandra, Chris, and Jeff would like to THANK YOU, the Hutchinson POLICE, and the helpful friendly people of the VELVET COACH.

VELVET COACH (612) 879 -2311 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O R A N D U M FOR YOUR INFORMATION DATE: January 4, 1980 TO: Mayor and Council - ---------�y--r----------- FROM: Mark C. Schnobrich, City Forester / �(� L-��- %•— ,,�;,_, L ; — SUBJECT: Proposed City Tree Ordinance - - -- ----------- - - - - -- This is to be reviewed and proposed for 1st reading on January 22, 1980. The foundation of every communities forestry program stands on its adopted city tree ordinance. It is this building block that allows a community to establish its basic needs such as desirable tree species to plant, citizen responsibility, specified distance and locations from power lines, sewers, street corners, etc. These are all logical, easy to understand, but only occasionally followed. A city tree ordinance allows us guidelines with which to dictate these standards. From this our Comphrehensive Tree Management Plan can be formulated. The ordinance is basic and sets general policies. Many are already covered in other ordinances ex. Dutch Elm Disease, while others are new; Spating, Tree Topping. It also establishes a City Tree Board. Their function is to decide, recommend, and proposed various policies governing the Tree Management Plan. The tree board will allow a greater variety of input from the public on the subject that closely affects their lives, trees. I am bringing this to your attention early in order that you may have time in reviewing it. I really feel it is justified and not just another law for the books that causes more ill than good. If I may add just one more thing. Each year the National Arbor Day Foundation recognizes cities throughout America who have an active community forestry program. I feel Hutchinson is worthy of this recognition and should, justifiably, be awarded the Tree City USA Award. There is no monetary reward, just the national recognition and the feeling that the City of Hutchinson is taking the right steps in the area of community forestry. I am available for questions and comments at anytime. so ORDINANCE NO. 1/80 CITY TREE ORDINANCE MINNESOTA: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, SECTION 1.
