MAY 23, 1978 CITY OF HUTCHINSON ISSUE NO. 28
MOTOR INN - TWO DEVELOPERS INTERESTED
Two developers are presently considering locating a Motor Inn type of facility in Hutchinson.
The facility would include a swimming pool, restaurant, and meeting rooms.
It is my understanding that the market for this type of facility would probably only allow
for one such establishment. Both developers are discussing the possibility of industrial
revenue financing.
Jerry Hertel, our City bonding consultant, will be making a presentation on this type of
financing tonight. Mr. Hertel, a representative from Juran & Moody, will be speaking on
behalf of Travel Host. The site being proposed is on Highway 7 West in the area of the
Chalet.
The other developer is interested in locating on the cold storage building site, and a let-
ter has been placed on your packet regarding their request.
HRA BOARD - UPDATE ON STATUS OF ELDERLY SITE
On Wednesday, May 17, I attended the HRA meeting and provided an update on the status of
the acquisition of land for the elderly site and also activities of the Downtown Develop-
ment Committee.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT STEERING COMMITTEE DRAWING UP OUTLINE OF SERVICES
The Industrial Development Steering Committee is drawing up an outline of services that
can be made available to existing or new industries. Representation includes realtors,
- Hutch Growth, Hutchinson Ambassadors, local finance institutions, and myself.
WORKMAN'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE - PREMIUMS RISING
Today the administrators of the hospital, Burns Manor, utilities, and City staff,met re-
garding the increasing numbers of employee workman's compensation claims.
The growing number of claims and the large reserves set aside by the insurance company is
driving up our insurance premiums.
The Hospital Safety Committee will be working with Burns Manor to establish a program for
accident prevention. Likewise, the City and the utilities will be stepping up efforts on
injury prevention through the assistance of George Field.
ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE
May 23, 1978
In the meantime, City staff will research the large number and long carrying time for the
individual accident reserve accounts of the insurance company.

8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF BID RECOMMENDATIONS BY CITY ENGINEER (DEFERRED APRIL 25,
1978)
1. PROJECT 78-03 - STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
2. PROJECT 78-04 - SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that the two above-
named projects were deferred until the City bond consultant had been con-
tacted to determine if the bonding level can be increased this year. Juran
& Moody gave the City an affirmative response.
Mayor Black commented he had received several comments regarding Project
78-03 in the Shady Ridge Area. He referred to the project improvements
schedule and pointed out that it calls for an early improvement of Shady
Ridge'Road for curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing. He questioned if
this would not put a heavy burden on the people. He wondered if the City
Council would agree not to proceed with permanent street improvements for
a reasonable time or until requested by property owners once the storm
sewer improvements have been completed. He stressed, however, that one
City Council cannot bind future City Councils on a policy.
Bob Carney - Sees no real need for the type of street pro -
Shady Ridge posed for this area. Most of the people are
not objecting to a storm sewer, but they do
not want permanent streets. Inquired why
-3-
Council Minutes
May 9, 1978
Shady Ridge Circle is not included in the plan.
Asked how the storm sewer will be assessed.
Don Glas - Remarked the street is inevitable. Residents
Shady Ridge Road might want a street 10 to 15 years from now.
The storm sewer is agreeable to him, but he can't
go along with several assessments within a short
period of time. Taxation is already high in the
area.
Dick McClure - He has lived on Shady Ridge Road for almost 30
Shady Ridge Road years. He feels many of the drainage problems
have been created by the people themselves.
Commented that curb and gutter would put a bur-
den on the people. Questioned if the Shady
Ridge Road would be moved over to the east when
the storm sewer is put in.
Commented on the last contractor hired by the
City who put in the sanitary sewer in the Shady
Ridge area.
It was the consensus of the Council that they would not proceed with street
improvements in the Shady Ridge Area for a reasonable period of time.

(e) CONSIDERATION OF LETTER CONCERNING TAXATION OF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
A letter and resolution were received from the Hutchinson Community Hospital
Board of Directors indicating why the Medical Office Building should be
under a tax-free status. They were recently informed by the McLeod County
Assessor's Office that portions of the Medical Clinic under lease by physi-
cians would be placed on the tax assessment rolls for the City of Hutchin-
son.
Mayor Black remarked that three years ago when the Medical Office Building
was being considered,all the ramifications involved with it were discussed.
It was pointed out at that time there was the possibility of taxation, and
all parties concerned were aware of this probability. Inasmuch as the Med-
ical Office Building produces revenue, there is no reason why it should not
be taxed. The City pays taxes on all other City -owned properties which are
revenue producing.
Although the letter is addressed to the City Council, they have no authority
over the area of real estate taxation. Therefore, no action is necessary
on this matter.

1. GILBERT HAMMER - FULL TIME CLERK
2. JOYCE NELSON - PART TIME CLERK

above-named liquor store employees, with Gilbert Hammer beginning employ-
ment May 4, 1978, and Joyce Nelson and Thomas Wiprud beginning employment

carried.

All of the following motions were made contingent upon the City being able
to acquire all the properties located in the selected site.

Co. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.
Mr. Priebe reported that the county level situation came up today. The
sketch plan for a plat had gone to the township and Planning Board, but
they tabled it and referred it back to the City inasmuch as they had not
seen it. He wondered if a policy could be adopted which would provide for
the City receiving a sketch plan for review and action before it goes to
the County Board.

The Airport Commission meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. at City Hall.
Members present were Chairman Doug McGraw, Randall Buboltz, Jim Hanson, John
Miller, in addition to Administrative Assistant Plotz and Westly Hendrickson
of TKDA.
1. Mr. Westly Hendrickson made a presentation of the draft report of the Hutch-
inson Municipal Airport Study.
2. Discussion was given to holding a public hearing, but it was the consensus
of the Commission to delay having a hearing until affected property owners
have been contacted.

of his property which adjoins the airport.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
MINUTES
AIRPORT COMMISSION
MAY 17, 1978
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. Members present were Jim Hanson,
Randy Buboltz, Doug Hedin. Also present were Dean Nelson, Airport Manager, and
Gary D. Plotz, Administrative Assistant.
1. Airport Zoning Board
City Attorney Buzz Schantzen provided a legal opinion that the City should start
from the beginning and establish an Airport Zoning Board. The City Attorney re-
ported that the State of Minnesota Airport Zoning staff concurs with this action.
It is also noted that the State has delayed both of the City's grants for in-
strument approach equipment until the Board is established.
The Airport Commission reviewed the information "Procedure for Establishing An
Airport Zoning Board," and it was a unanimous consensus that City Council be re-
quested to establish a Joint Airport Board at their next regular meeting, pur-
suant to the City Attorney's opinion.
At the next regular meeting of the Airport Commission, an agenda item will be
to recommend to the Mayor individuals for the municipal appointments.
2. Improvements to Open Hangar
The open hangar presently has no electricity or lights, and it was a request at
a previous Airport Commission meeting to obtain an estimate.
The estimate from Popp Electrical, Inc. in the amount of $678.95 was received
and reviewed by the Airport Commission. The City Accountant also reviewed the
estimate, and he felt that inasmuch as the $3,000 for the instrument approach
will most likely not be spent in this calendar year, the budget could handle
those improvements.
After discussion, it was the unanimous consensus of the Airport Commission to
proceed with the improvements.
3. Instruments - Wind Direction & Velocity
Airport Commission members discussed the need for wind and velocity instruments
for landing. It was reported that nearly every airport has such instruments,
which cost approximately $100; however, the Hutchinson Airport does not.
Doug Hedin offered to assemble and install a Heath Kit, which would be the least
expensive method to obtain these instruments. It was the unanimous consensus
of the Airport Commission to accept the offer of volunteer labor and have the
City purchase the kit.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.

Administrative Assistant Plotz explained that Rev. Crouse, who had made
application for the Conditional Use Permit, wished to withdraw the request.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY CHUCK PEARSON
Due to an error in typing of notices mailed to the surrounding property
owners stated March 31, 1978 rather than 21st, therefore, no one was present
to speak for or against the issue. City Attorney Schantzen stated we should
rescind the action taken by Council regarding the variance for Chuck Pearson
and rehold the hearing informing the surrounding property owners of the date.
Marlow Priebe explained the request for expansion and stated the building is
presently non -conforming. He recommended that requirements of the variance
include the removal of the trailer presently on the East side of the building,.
the clean-up of tires, pallets and other debris on the property and future
storage of same be in the confines of a 100% opaque wall or fence, thus allowing
full use of parking area on the premises.
In a letter dated April 18, 1978 from Elden Willard, he recommended that
Mr. Pearson be required to fullfill the requirement of his conditional use
permit for his building on the East 84' of Lot 1, Block 19, North Half City
of Hutchinson by removing the storage of materials in the East half of the
building which is to be used for "off-street parking".
On motion by Don Erickson, seconded by Paul Christen, the hearing was
closed at 7:45 P.M. Motion carried.
Don Erickson made the motion to approve the request for variance submitted
by Chuck Pearson contingent upon satisfying the above mentioned recommendation.

4. NEW BUSINESS
a) DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE FISH AND PET SHOP AT 325 LYNN ROAD
Chairman Tracy referred to a letter written by Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant,
to Mr. Steve Barton dated March 29, 1978, and two letters dated April 4, 1978,
on written by Elden Willard, Building Official and one by Gary Plotz..
Steve Barton stated he had attended the February Planning Commission meeting and he
was told he could get a sign variance for the home at 41 -4th Avenue. Things
changed and he contacted City Hall he would not be moving to this address but
possibly to 325 Lynn Road instead. Mr. Barton felt the issue was the property
and the sign was incidental.
City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe pointed out that if the sign does not
meet the requirements called for in a particular zone, they must cane before
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Barton noted the sign will be changed from the existing larger one to a sign
two feet square in size.
There is a restriction as to the amount of livable space used in a home for a
home occupation stated Marlow Priebe. He felt the property should be inspected.
Planning Commission Minutes -4-
April 18, 1978
A sign in a residential area if visible on two sides can only be one foot
square on each side, Marlow stated, and if visible only on one side then
it could be two square feet, for example 2' x 11.
Steve Barton commented he was doing most of the remodeling himself and had
spent $120 and a building permit isn't needed unless the repairs and/or remodel-
ing total $250 or more. He went on to say the pets he had were fish, a para-
keet, doves and hamsters, so the neighbors should not have to worry about the
smell. Mrs. Barton pointed out the neighbors had.been invited in to look
the situation over.
Alma Tews -Stated a pet shop should not be in a resi-
505-4th Ave. SW dential area, and she felt it would depreciate
the value of the homes in the area. There is
only parking on one side of the street and
the bicycle traffic could be hazardous.
Chairman Tracy reminded her there is control on home occupations and generally
they do not generate that much extra traffic.
Steve Barton didn't feel he was using more than 20-25% of his property for this
Fish and Pet Shop hong' occupation.
Marlow Priebe pointed out that it was 25% of the livable space which does not
include a garage or basement, since most basements do not meet the housing code
standards. He does not know if this home occoupation exceeds the allowable
area without an inspection. Mr. Priebe felt the business as such could be a
home occupation.
Mr. Plotz stated if you get a sign permit in one area it is not transferable
to another area. First, establish what zone or location is being considered,
then establish if the home occupation is allowable.
The general recommendation from the Planning Commission is to have staff
investigate the situation further.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY LARRY AND
BARBARA SORENSEN
Larry Sorensen explained his plans and Marlow Priebe stated for that zone,
which is C-4, and his proposed use, a conditional use permit is needed.
After discussion, on motion by Don Erickson, seconded by Bill Backen, it
was recommended to set a public hearing for May 16, 1978. Motion unanimously
carried.
c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DEN MAR BUILDING
SUBMITTED BY CURT BRADFORD
Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant, explained this ream-st for a conditional

use permit and reviewed previous requests. Director of Public Works, Marlow
Priebe felt limitations should be put on any further usage of the building,
stating they could not convert any more apartments since parking is a serious
consideration here.
After discussion, Paul Christen made the motion to set the public hearing
for May 16, 1978. Elsa Young seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
d) DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR ALL HOME OCCUPATION ACTIVITIES
Marlow Priebe stated you can use up to 25% of the livable area, depending on
the style of the unit, the basement can be considered livable space if it meets
building code requirements. As it is now no permit of any kind is required if
no sign is put up or substantial remodeling. By requiring a conditional use
permit, there would be some control as to what is allowable. The stipulations
that could be placed on the permit would be to have an inspection of the premises
at least once a year and the home occupation would have no employees other than
the owner of the home. Also, Marlow Priebe felt that by requiring a conditional
use permit and holding a public hearing, the public would have the opportunity
to voice their opinions before the fact not after.
Mr. Plotz remarked there aren't that many calls for a home occupation and felt
they could be handled.
The Planning Commission suggested continuing discussion of this issue at the next
regular meeting with a possible recommendation at that time.
e) DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING ALL TRANSPORTABLE HOMES TO BE WITHIN MOBILE HOME PARKS
Building Official Willard pointed out that they are changing the language from
mobile homes to transportable homes. Therefore, he was asking the Commission if
they felt the language of the Zoning Ordinance Book should be changed also or
would they want transportable homes permitted in an R-2 District which is the
way it reads now on page 55 of the Zoning Book. It could be controlled to some
extent since all.homes have to be certified by the Uniform Building Code.
f) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR CLARK'S. SECOND
ADDITION SUBMITTED BY JOHN E. MILLER.
Marlow Priebe explained the proposal and after discussion, Paul Christen made
the motion to set the Public Hearing for May 16, 1978. Don Erickson seconded the
motion and it carried unanimously.

2. New Business
Administrative Assistant Plotz summarized what has transpired since the last
meeting with the Community Development Advisory Board. At a joint meeting on
March 23, 1978 it was decided to choose Site 12, the Historical Society Site,
behind the National Tea Food Store.
They were authorized to move ahead with the appraisals, using the guidelines
specified by HUD, and have entered into an appraisal contract with C.R. Pelton
and Associates. The appraisals cost $700 for the four parcels of property
being considered for the elderly highrise. Jean Lerberg accompanied the gentleman
from C.R. Pelton on the inspection of the homes.
Clarence Simonowicz also submitted an appraisal which was distributed to each
member present at the meeting. Gary went over each of the appraisals on the
individual parcels and gave the appraisal price computed by C.R. Pelton and
Associates.
Mr. Plotz stated there is approximately $210,000 of the original Community Develop-
ment grant monies for acquisition, relocation and demolition left. He reminded
the Board that after Council approves the appraisal prices, a letter of intent
to acquire with the appraisal price is mailed to the persons involved and they have
60 days in which to respond.
After further discussion, Arlene Zimmerman made the motion to recommehd to the
City Council the appraisal prices made by C.R. Pelton and Associates. Bruce
Peterson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
3. There being no further business to come before the Community Development Advisory
Board at this time the meeting was adjourned on motion by Arlene Zimmerman at

SUBJECT: Parking on Roberts Road
After re-evaluating the parking situation at the area of
Roberts Road and Kay Street I feel that the proposed change in the or-
dinance is unnecessary.
01 The current ordinance, in my opinion, adequately covers the
problem.
All that is needed is to move the no parking sign east approximately
20 feet to more adequately allow view of the crosswalk.

Several weeks ago I eras contacted by school bus drivers who stated

also brought to my attention.
I concur with their letter and strongly favor the adoption of

At the regular Governing Board Meeting last Tuesday evening, the following items
were discussed and are being submitted to you for consideration:
Coronary Care Monitors:
Initially we specified four permanent monitors and two telemetry units
for our Critical Care Unit. Cour intent was to purchase a system that
would equip all five rooms in the unit. Recently the Coronary Care
Committee met and refined our equipment needs somewhat, and our
recommendation to the. Governing Board was to purchase three hardwire
monitors and one telemetry unit. It is anticipated that this will
meet our current needs and provide us flexibility in the system to
expand should the demand be there. The following motion was abstracted:
"Motion by Joyce, seconded by Ewald, to request the City Council
to accept the bid"from Abbott Laboratory as modified in the
amount of $29,713. Motion passed." (see attached)

TO: Mayor and City Council: Ralph Neumann
FROM: Alderman Ra.l-DhWestlund_____�______________
SUBJECT: Liguor Store Freight
Approximately three years ago the liquor store started using Minnesota Wisconsin Truck
Lines to haul its freight. Prior to that time, 'Earl Sprengeler had been hauling freight.
At the time the change was made Minnesota Wisconsin's rate per pound was the same as
Sprengeler. Since Minnesota Wisconsin owned real estate and had a number of employees
living in town and was part of the community, I recommended we make the change to Min-
nesota Wisconsin.
At the time Ralph Neumann took over management, he again checked the rate per pound
with Minnesota Wisconsin and Sprengeler. He found a considerable difference. Minnesota
Wisconsin's rate is $1.76 per 100 pounds and Sprengeler's $1.30 per 100 pounds.
Minnesota Wisconsin was contacted regarding the difference in rate, but they felt their
rate was fair and could not be adjusted. Ralph Neumann contacted me, and I agreed this
was a big difference and recommended we again have Sprengeler haul the freight.
EXAMPLE:
February Invoices: Minnesota Wisconsin - 22,872 lbs. @ $1.76/100 lb. = $406.25
(Some invoices were at the minimum rate of $13.80)
March Invoices: Sprengeler - 19,372 lbs. @ $1.30/100 lb. = $251.91
April Invoices: Sprengeler - 19,835 lbs. @ $1.30/100 lb. = $257.97
Sprengeler makes one delivery a week and all merchandise can be checked and priced at
one time. Minnesota Wisconsin makes delivery three or four times per week. This causes
more confusion and work.
Mike McCue, a representative of Minnesota Wisconsin, will attend the City Council meet-
ing and plead his case.

I would like to begin with an apology to the voters of the
City of Iiutchinson. I ran for election last November not realizing
that a changing business situation in my family would soon affect
my position on the Hutchinson City Council.
The recent purchase of a business by my family and some changes
at least in the interpretation of the pertaining Minnesota state laws
have resulted in conditions whereby I would have a legal conflict of
interest if I continued to serve on the Hutchinson City Council.
In order to protect the City of Hutchinson and my family from
any problems should I continue, I am resigning my position as Alderman
of the City of Hutchinson effective May 22, 1978.
Serving on the Hutchinson City Council has been one of the most
satisfying and rewarding experiences I have ever had and I thank the
people of Hutchinson for having given me that opportunity.

MEMORANDUM
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dean M O' Borsky, Chief of Police -
SUBJECT: Additional Police Reserve Officers
Over the past year we have made numerous changes in our police
department Reserve organization. We have instituted an in-service
training program as well as developed a structure within the Reserve
unit which assigns responsibility for coordination of the unit. I
have also appointed Officer James Haasl as the Police Reserve Liaison
Officer.
With the expanded training and time demands, several members of
the Reserve unit have requested that they be placed in inactive status
which means that they would only be used for specific events such as the
Water Carnival. Those individuals are Wes Asplin, Scott Johnson and
Robert Bennington.
I am therefore requesting that the following two men be appointed
part-time employees for purposes of becoming reserve officers with our
department. They have attended meetings for the past eight months and
have taken part in in-service training programs as well as completing
a ride along program. They are Mr. Charles Brill of Hutchinson, who is
the manager of the movie theater and Roger Bakken, who is employed at
Advanced Machining in Spring Lake Park and who lives in Hutchinson.
Should you decide to appoint these men I will take the necessary
steps to bring in their personnel information to the personnel coordinator.

Commission is hereby submitting its finding of fact and recommendation with respect
to the aforementioned request for preliminary and final plat.
HISTORY
On April 11, 1978 Gary Miller made application for John E. Miller for preliminary and
final plat for a parcel of property to be known as Clark's Second Addition.
At a regular meeting on April 18, 1978, the Planning Commission set a public hearing
for the next regular meeting on Tuesday, May'16, 1978.
On May 16, 1978 during the public hearing Marlow Priebe, City Engineer/Director of Public
Works, distributed among the Commission members a revised plat map showing the area to
be dedicated for park land which had previously been approved by the Park and Recreation
Board. Mr. John Miller was present at the hearing, however, he made no statement regarding
the issue.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The required application, plat maps and appropriate fee were submitted.
2. Notices were mailed to surrounding property owners and a public notice was published
in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, May 5, 1978.
3. In a memo dated May 12, 1978 Marlow V. Priebe, stated the proposed plat with Park
land donation had been reviewed and approved by the Park and Recreation Board. Also
the City Council approved project 78-03 which included storm sewer service for this
area, Mr. Priebe pointed out.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission therefore recommends the approval of the preliminary and final
plat for Clark's Second Addition with the land dedication to meet the requirements for
parks and playground contribution.

The Nutrition for the Elderly program would appreciate having

between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Our attendance has more than doubled in the past 18 months, and
Asst site Mgr• we do appreciate the two meters that we have, but need at least
Gerry Hogan an additional two meters badly.
The Hutch Mobile provides transportation for over one third

do have more people driving.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

The Airport Commission members at their meeting of May 17, 1978 discussed
the need for wind direction and velocity instruments at the airport. The
approximate cost of these instruments would be $100.

Dear Sirs: �IZ0Z_
As you probably know, the Cities in McLeod County and McLeod
County with partial funding from a federal grant currently
maintain a Criminal Investigation Unit to assist all police
departments in the county with the investigation of both
misdemeanor and felony occurrences. This program has been
ongoing for approximately three years and has, I believe,
greatly increased the effectiveness of criminal investigation
in McLeod County. The federal grant partially supporting
this project is scheduled to end on July 1, 1978. The
McLeod County Board has presently budgeted $10,000.00 for
the remaining six months of 1978 to fund the Investigation
Unit consisting of Larry Goga and Neal Alderson. Unfortunately,
this sum is not sufficient to meet the expenses required by
this investigation unit and it becomes necessary to request
that each city make a contribution from its budget to fund
this program. It is hoped that at the end of 1978 the
investigation unit would be absorbed into the McLeod County
Sheriff's Office and completely funded by McLeod County at
that time.
However, as I said, it is now necessary to seek additional funds
for the remaining months of 1978. Unfortunately, I was unable
to present this request last fall during your budgeting process
for 1978, but I'm now asking that you consider contributing
monies toward this unit. If the council feels it is necessary,
I personally could meet with the council and explain the
duties and responsibilities of the investigatory unit and
some of the assistance it has provided to your city. My
request from the Hutchinson City Council is a contribution of
$3,000.00 to fund this investiaation unit the remainder of
1978.
As I said, I'd be happy to explain some of the achievements
of this unit and the help it has provided to all residents of
the county and would be happy to appear at any regular
scheduled council meeting for this purpose. I have contacted
with this letter your local Chief of Police, Dean O'Borsky,
so that he is aware of this, and I'm sure that he can answer
"AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER'S `/

opportunities required by its population; and said Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. Said Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and help
maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation
and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City;
(e) Company is currently engaged in the business
of owning and operating motels. The Project to be financed
by the Note is a 60 unit motel with a restaurant and a lounge
and an enclosed swimming pool to be located in the City
and consists of the acquisition of land and the construction
of buildings and improvements thereon and the installation of
equipment therein, and will result in the employment of
additional persons to work within the new facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by,representa-
tives of Company that conventional, commercial financing to
pay the capital cost of the Project is available only on a
limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the
economic feasibility of operating the Project would be signi-
ficantly reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that
with the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low bor-
rowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Hutchinson, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Council hereby gives preliminary approval to
the proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project
pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development
Act (Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes), consisting of the acqui-
sition, construction and equipping of facilities within the
City pursuant to Company's specifications suitable for the
operations described above and to a revenue agreement
between the City and Company upon such terms and conditions
with provisions for revision from time to time as necessary,
so as to produce income and revenues sufficient to pay, when
due, the principal of and interest on the proposed Note in
the total principal amount of approximately $1,425,000 to
be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the acquisition,
construction and equipping of said Project; and said revenue
agreement may also provide for the entire interest of Company
therein to be mortgaged to the purchaser of the Note; and the
City hereby undertakes preliminarily to issue its Note in
accordance with such terms and conditions;
2. On the basis of information available to this Council
it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that said Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises en-
gaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of
Section 474.02 of the Act, that the availability of the financing
under the Act and willingness of the City to furnish such financing
will be a substantial inducement to Company to undertake the
Project, and that the effect of the Project, if undertaken,
will be to encourage the development of economically sound in-
dustry and commerce, to assist in the prevention of the emergence
of blighted and marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemploy-
ment, to help the City retain and improve its tax base and pro-
vide the range of service and employment opportunities required
by its population, to help prevent the movement of talented and
educated persons out of the state and to areas within the State
where their services may not be as effectively used, to promote
more intensive development and use of land within the City and
to eventually increase the City's tax base;
3. Said Project is hereby given preliminary approval by
the City subject to the approval of the Project by the Com-
missioner of Securities, and subject to final approval by this
Council, Company, and the purchaser of the Note as to the ulti-
mate details of the financing of the Project;
4. In accordance with Subdivision 7a of Section 474.01
Minnesota Statutes, the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized
and directed to submit the proposal for the above described
Project to the Commissioner of Securities, requesting his ap-
proval, and other officers, employees and agents of the City
are hereby authorized to provide the Commissioner with such
preliminary information as he may require;
5. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that
any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with
the financing of the Project whether or not the Project is
carried to completion and whether or not approved by the
Commissioner will be paid by Company;
6. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, acting
as bond counsel, is authorized to assist in the preparation
and review of necessary documents relating to the Project, to
consult with the City Attorney, Company and the purchaser
of the Note as to the maturities, interest rates and other
terms and provisions of the Note and as to the covenants
and other provisions of the necessary documents and to sub-
mit such documents to the Council for final approval;
7. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents pre-
pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of
any municipal funds on the Project other than the revenues
derived from the Project or otherwise granted to the City
for this purpose. The Note shall not constitute a charge,
lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property
or funds of the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to
the payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any
liability thereon. The holder of the Note shall never have the
right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to
pay the outstanding principal on the Note or the interest
thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against any property
of the City. The Note shall recite in substance that the
Note, including interest thereon, is payable solely from the
revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment thereof. The Note
shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of
any constitutional or statutory limitation;
B. In anticipation of the approval by the Commissioner
of Securities and the issuance of the Note to finance all or
a portion of the Project, and in order that completion of the
Project will not be unduly delayed when approved, Company is
hereby authorized to make such expenditures and advances
toward payment of that portion of the costs of the Project
to be financed from the proceeds of the Note as Company con-
siders necessary, including the use of interim, short-term
financing, subject to reimbursement from the proceeds of the
Note if and when delivered but otherwise without liability
on the part of the City.

At the regular Governing Board Meeting last Tuesday evening, the following items
were discussed and are being submitted to you for consideration:
Initially t#-, specified four permanent monitors and two telemetry units
for our Critics], Care Unit. Our intent was to purchase a-syslem that
would equip all five rooms in the unit. Recently the Coronary Care
Committee met and refined, our equipment needs §9zewhat, and our
recommendation to the Governing Board was to purchase three hardwire
monitors and one telemetry unit. It is anticipated that this will
meet our current needs and proviJe us flexibility in the system to
expand should the demand be -there. The fati].owing motion was abstracted:
"Motion by Joyce, seconded by Ewald, to request the City Council
to accept the bid from Abbott Laboratory as modified in the
amour�t,,ol $29,713. Motion passed." (see attached)
Heat Recovery System
We have had a considerable problem with the heat in our boiler room. Several
months ago, we began to explore alternative ways of cooling the boiler room.
An architectural firm was engaged to assist us with mechanical modification.
We recently completed those specifications and found out that it is possible
to "spot cool" our boiler room and recirculate the exhausted heat back into
the building. The architect proposes that the project will cost
approximately $25,000 and will pay for itself within five years because of
the heat recovery capabilities of the system. The following motion was
abstracted:
"Motion by Joyce, seconded by Goebel, to request from the City Council
permission to advertise for bids to install a heat recovery system as
proposed by the architect. Motion passed."
Parking Lots
A couple of years ago we were requested by the City to modify our present
off-street parking lots on Freemont Avenue. We also were considering
expanding our South Employee Parking Lot, because of overcrowding and
parking problems and requested assistance from Marlow Priebe, to plan
these projects. Marlow indicated that the projects were worthwhile and
should be undertaken and we should request the City Council to include
these with the projects of 1978. The following motion was abstracted:
"Motion by Goebel, seconded by Mullan, to request the City Council
to include expansion of the two employee parking lots in 1978
improvement -plan design per Marlow Priebe, City Engineer. Motion passed."
We thank you, in advance, for your consideration in these matters. If you have further
questions regarding the affore mentioned items, please do not hesitate to request
assistance.
Sincerely,

MEMO
May 23, 1978
TO: City Council
FROM: City Engineer
SUBJECT: Dutch Elm Control & Other
Officials from the "Minnesota's Dutch Elm Disease Community Demonstration
Program" have asked that James Brodd be assigned full time to the program.
This would be for a minimum of four months, for which time his salary would be
fully funded from the program. We recommend approval of same.
Mr. Brodd's work in Dutch Elm and Weed Control in the City requires him to be
away from the Cemetery for too long a period of time. It is therefore
recommended that Mr. Brodd be assigned on a regular basis after completing
the above program, to the Park Department. I also request approval to assign
an existing employee, if one is interested, to that position for a six month
probationary period, afterwhich a permanent assignment would be made.
In addition, we request approval of two summer employees to fill our void in
the Park Department. This will allow us to cover vacation and National Guard
committments.
Full time replacement would not be considered until fall. In this manner, we
will be able to keep within budget for salaries.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Tuesday, May 16, 1978
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
The meeting was called to order at 12:08 P.M. by Chairman Skip Quade with the
following members being present: Ralph Westlund, Marlin Torgerson, Tom O'Connell
and Lloyd Torgrimson in addition to Chairman Quade. Members absent were: D.J.
Black, Don Glas, Tom Savage, Steve Richards, Becky Piehl, Dennis Hukriede, Jay
Alrick, Bob Stearns, Don Abbott and Clarice Coston. Also present were Administra-
tive Assistant Plotz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe, Clarence
Simonowicz, the Consultant, and Jean Lerberg from the HRA Board.
Chairman Quade opened the meeting by reviewing what had transpired at the last
Downtown Development meeting on May 2, 1978 and stated the discussion today would
be on the tax increment law and possible alternatives.
Gary Plotz reported on the meeting he and Clarence Simonowicz had with the developer
Mr. Albert and Mr. Smiley regarding the concept for downtown not being large enough.
Theyinformed Mr. Albert that the Downtown Development Committee felt the proposal
was fragmented and they wished to see a larger amount of retail in the plan. Mr. Albert
appeared willing to come up with a different and larger proposal within 60 days.
At the time of his last contact, Clarence Simonowicz stated Mr. Albert indicated
he had an architect and had made additional contacts with retail people. Al Albert
stated, hopefully, he'll have a presentation to make at the next meeting.
At this time, Clarence distributed a handout entitled "Tax Increment Law Consideration."
He explained tax increment itself and pointed out there are two laws, the development
district law and the HRA law. After the developer has submitted his proposal a
resolution to establish a district should be submitted to the City Council for
official approval. However, prior to this recommendation a decision should be made
to determine whether to use development district or HRA Law.
Ralph Westlund suggested getting a consultant or specialist in bonding to tell us
which way to go or which would be the best for Hutchinson to make sure we take
the right step.
It was the consensus of the Committee to discuss the matter further at the next
regular meeting on Tuesday, June 6, 1978. There being no further business to come
before the Committee at this time the meeting was adjourned at 1:15 P.M.
