The course was a brief oversight of (1) three types of budgets (line item, functional, and program), (2) classification of revenues and expenditures through the chart of accounts, (3) procedures and timetables for submitting a city budget, including requirements for federal revenue sharing. I feel this budgeting course was of a summary nature. A more detailed ten -week course in municipal accounting procedures will be offered in the:Twin Cities this fall. ICE ARENA CONTRACT I have made the changes within the contract for the Ice Arena that were requested by both the school district and -the Civic Arena Coordinator.

Subsequently, I anticipate the contract will be submitted to the respective governing bodies for approval.

We will be providing you with a schedule of dates for the various election activities this fall.

The presentation was made to the Intergovernmental Information System Advisory Council (IISAC), and was subsequently approved by the State Commissioner of Administration. It is noteworthy that Dean Lund, Executive Director of the Minnesota League of Cities, strongly supported our grant request throughout the presentation. The results are that the City of Hutchinson has been awarded a grant totaling $13,500. Specifically, this includes a one-year funding for operating membership expenses and a two-year grant for funding of long distance telephone expenses. .COMPUTER TERMINAL INSTALLATION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1977 The executive director of LOGIS, Ted Willard, has informed me that our computer terminal will be installed on or about September 1, 1977.

Mr. Pauley answered any questions the Committee had concerning the repair work to be done, and mentioned that with the awarding of -this group of grants and loans, the Home Rehabilitation portion of the program will be closed out because all the funds will have been committed. A motion was made by Phyllis Hegrenes, seconded by Russ Meade to approve the ten grants and loans to the City Council for their approval. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Clarence Simonowicz from CRS and Associates, made a presentation with refer- ence to the Housing Study made in Hutchinson. He went over what was covered in the report, what they tried to accomplish and the results from their survey. Mr. Simonowicz stated that the housing market is the major concern in Hutchinson, then gave their recommendation to resolve the housing shortage. Clarence asked the Committee members to give their individual comments and reactions to the Council, whether it be for or against. 4. There being no further business to come before the Advisory Committee at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 1:45 PM. %-a, - r L MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING-HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Tuesday, July 19, 1977 1. The special meeting was called to order at 12:07 PM by Chairman Knutsen with the following members present: Les Smith, Arlene Zimmerman, Russ Meade, Phyllis Hegrenes, Rev. Hinsch, Don Glas, and Mildred Nelson. Also present were ex officio member Bob Otte, and Community Development Director Pauley. 2. Mr. Pauley opened the meeting by alerting the Committee members that the Public Hearing regarding the Downtown Study will be Wednesday, August 17th and he suggested the Committee give their recommendation to City Council verbally or in writing by that time. Mr. Clarence Simonowicz gave his presentation on the Downtown Study which revealed a lot of retail and commercial business goes on in Hutchinson, in fact, half of the retail dollars in the County comes from Hutchinson business. There is a large amount of clothing business done in town but such businesses as furniture and eating and drinking establishments are not as plentiful, therefore being in demand. The survey also revealed, with regards to the downtown busi- nessmen some are dissatisfied with rent, some felt parking is a problem, all of which indicates the possibility of changes being made within the next five to ten years. Along with this, Mr. Simonowicz displayed detailed illustrations of the downtown proposal and explained the suggested proposals for the downtown area regarding retail business and parking facilities, and alternatives for govenment buildings. Clarence then went over the cost of the various types of changes proposed and suggestions as to possible ways the City could obtain the money for this project. Mr. Pauley interjected that Hutchinson has the opportunity with this downtown proposal to "solidify its base", whereas a majority of the towns start something similar to this when their community is beyond help or past the point of no return. He also reminded them that no public dollars will be used until a developer has been secured. Mr. Pauley went on to report that at the Public Meeting on July 13th of the 20 property owners -being considered for possible acquisition present that evening, no one voiced any objections to the idea of acquisition. Chairman Knutsen commended Mr. Simonowicz on the great job he did with the study and asked the Advisory Committee for their recommendation to the Mayor regarding the downtown proposal. Phyllis Hegrenes made the motion to communicate by letter a positive recom- mendation to the Mayor to accept the concept of the downtown proposal. Russ Meade seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. 3. The meeting was adjourned at 1:25 PM. :31TTiS MAN0:(.

The plan is an optional (voluntary) payroll deduction that Is completely paid by the employee. Money from the payroll deductions is sent to ICMA where it is maintained and invested in an individual employee retirement account. All payroll deductions and subsequent Invest- ment earnings are on a non-taxable basis until retirement. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has given approval of the plan. Over five hundred (500) communities have adopted the necessary resolution (see attached) to implement this employee option. Minnesota communities that have done so include: Albert Lea Benson Brooklyn Park Brooklyn Center Coon Rapids Edina Fridley Glenwood Golden Valley Lakeville Mankato Minnetonka Montevideo Morris New Brighton Plymouth Red Wing Richfield Robbinsdale Rochester Roseville Shoreview St. Louis Park Winona While being employed in Wisconsin, I participated in the ICMA Plan. I found the investment yield (earnings) to be consistently higher than any of the privately offered plans. Two employees (Finley Mix and Marlow Priebe) presently participate in a private plan offered by Aetna Insurance. It is my understanding, after discussing this with Ralph Westlund, that employees could participate in either pian, as there is no franchise agreement. Attached is a more detailed summary of the ICMA Plan. 7- c. _.. —1— I t11 V 1/ s t. l V . . F V I. L I/ 11 l r. kV I" 1. V l. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN SUMMARY BACKGROUND TO THE ICMA. RETIREMENT CORPORATION The ICMA Retirement Corporation is a nonprofit and tax-exempt Corporation serving only state and local governments. Its legal status is that of a political subdivision of the state and local government agencies it serves. The Corporation was organized in late 1972 to assist those govern:-�nts in providing their employees with a portable retirement pl for mobile em- ployees and a loci -cost supplemental plan whic) will assist the public service in its competition for competr.,.v personnel. The Corporation is sponsored by the fallowing or(..._-: i.zation : American Association of Airpcz_,c 1:xC;cuti1,rE:s American Institute of Planners American Public Power Association American Public Works Association American Society of Planning Officials American Society for Public Administration Building Officials and Code Administrators International International City Mann ement Association International Institute of Municipal Clerks International Personnel Management Association Municipal Finance Officers Association National Association of Counties National Institute of Municipal Law Officers National League of Cities ,United States Conference of Mayors In addition, the IcmA R tirement Corporation has been finan- cially assisted by the international City Managem4nt Associa- tion and the Ford Foundation. The plan is administered out of our Washington office. Materials are distributed to employees through the employer. Copies of agreements between employer and employee are sent to this office. Statements of contributions due are provided based on a payment cycle designated by the employer. Special assistance for ,adapting to local EDP systems is available. ELIGIBILITY Any employee of the state or local government public service and related nonprofit tax-exempt agencies may participate. The actual decision as to which employees will be eligible is a matter for each employer to decide in accordance with its own personnel policy. EXPENSES We have the lowest fees of any similar plan. There are two fees: 1. A 3% administrative fee: This is a one time charge on all contributions received (commonly called a "load" charge). Its purpose is to pay the cost of running the daily and routine operations of the Corporation. 2. A 1% annual management fee: This fee is levied against the total fund on an annual basis but pro -rated monthly. Its purpose is to pay the fees of the investment agent, independent investment consultants, and to provide sufficient resources for the Corpora- tion to meet its long-term obligations and unforseen expenses while keeping total fees stable. RECORDS The Retirement Corporation maintains all legal and financial records for the employer to include employee agreements, con- tributions, and earnings. An annual financial report for each employee is mailed to the employer annually, and a per- sonal statement to each employee. (Appendices 1 and 2 res- pectively.) Most employers maintain a record of contributions for each employee within their own accounting system, updating for earnings annually. Likewise, we recommend the employer maintain a record of each employee agreement. COMPUTER FACILITIPS All financial data is maintained on the Retirement Corpora- tion's computer records. Likewise, certain personal data is maintained for each individual account. Employers may elect to use our forms for making contributions (example at appendix 3) or they may provide us with their own computer produced copy.' If the latter is chosen the pro- cedure should be discussed with the Retirement Corporation. ICMA Retirement Corporation ---, DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION TO EMPLOYEES Brochures and other information will be supplied to the employer for distribution to employees. The Retirement Corporation does not employ agents or representatives. As a public service Corporation it is our policy to (1) keep costs of the plan to a minimum and (2) assure employer control of its benefit programs by requiring at least pass-through control of materials submitted tc employees. INVESTMENT AGENT Employees select investments through a Variable or Fixed Income Fund, both of which are under the investment manage- ment of the Trust and Investment Committee of the American Security and Trust Company of Washington, D. C. This company operates under a general investment policy established by the Retirement Corporation's Board of Directors and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency. IMPLEMENTATION Employer Adoption: The plan may be implemented as soon as the Employer's govern- ing body approves the required documents. In this regard see sample resolution at appendix 4 and the basic plan docu- ment at appendix 5. Employee Enrollment: Dissemination of information to employees is accomplished by an emplWee brochure supplied by the Retirement.Corporation (appendix 6). Additional materials are supplied to the employer for interested employees. See accompanying packet. Employees enroll by submission of a completed Joinder Agree- ment for the employer's approval (appendix 7). Upon receipt of the Joinder Agreement, the Retirement Corporation opens an account for the employee. IRS APPROVAL It is not necessary to submit the ICMA Retirement Corpora- tion's plan to the Internal Revenue Service as it is a plan already approved and in use by numerous local govern- ments. An employer is joining an existing plan rather than creating a new one. Accordingly, no changes may be made in the plan document. See the following IRS rulings at appendix 8. IRS Ruling of March 31, 1972, approving the plan provisions. IRS Ruling of March 28, 1974, approving the transfer of funds from one participating employer to another in cases where portability of benefits is desired. IRS Ruling of April 2, 1974, approving the tax-exempt status of the ICMA Retirement Corporation. i' RESOLUTION NO. 6004 A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON WHEREAS, the City has in its employ certain personnel; and WHEREAS, said employees are and will be rendering valuable services to the City; and WHEREAS, the City has considered the establishment of a Deferred Compensation Plan for the said employees made available to the City and said employees by the International City Management Association Retirement Corporation; and WHEREAS, said employees often are unable to acquire retirement security under existing and available retirement plans due to the contingencies of employment mobility; and WHEREAS, the City receives benefits under said plans by being able to assure reasonable retirement security to said employees, by being more able to attract competent personnel to its service, and by increasing its flexi- bility in personnel management through elimination of the need for continued employment for the sole purpose of allowing an employee to qualify for retirement benefits. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY -THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: 1. That the City establish said Deferred Compensation Plan for said employees and hereby authorizes its Mayor to execute the Deferred Compensation Plan with the International City Management Association Retirement Corporation, attached hereto as Appendix A; and 2.

I am submitting these to you so that we may take advantage of the early availability of 1978 models as soon as they go into production. The funds for this vehicle have been provided for in our 1977 budget and the bid price would be contingent on the sale of our 1975 Ford which has an excess of over 79,000 miles. You will see by the plans and specifications that we plan to continue with the smaller vehicles that we purchased in the past but because of production changes we may not have a vehicle as small as the Nova next year. We may have to go to a size which is one step larger than the Nova but from the available information that I have we should continue to develop the same kind of gas mileage and savings over the old larger models.

HISTORY On July 10, 1977 an application was submitted by the Hutchinson Civic Arena for a sign variance.

HISTORY On July 7, 1977 an application was submitted by First State Federal Savings and Loan for a sign variance. The request called for a variance to allow for a roof sign. At a regular meeting of July 19, 1977 the Planning Commission set a public hearing for its regular meeting on August 16, 1977. At the public hearing on August 16th, Mr. Jay Beytien presented the request for the applicant and no one else was present to comment on the request. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required appligation was submitted. 2. Notice was provided to surrounding property owners and published in the Hutchinson Leader on August 5, 1977. 3.

HISTORY On July 29, 1977 an application was submitted by Leonard Miller to amend Section 8.09, Limited Industrial Park, to allow, "public and private recreational facilities," as a Conditional Permitted Use. At a special meeting on August 1, 1977 held by the Planning Commission a public hearing was set for its next regular meeting on August 16, 1977. At the public hearing Mr. Pat Flynn represented the applicant and there was no one else present to comment on the request. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required application was submitted. 2. The appropriate public hearing notice was published in the Hutchinson Leader on August,5, 1977. 3. It was found by the Planning Commission that recreational facilities would not be an inappropriate use in an Industrial District and that the Conditional Use Permit provisions would allow for the establishement of special conditions or safeguards should they be necessary.

We have studied the various machines as to sizes available and variable cleaning ability. We have come to the conclusion that a machine should be purchased that will jet clean sewer lines, vacuum the water and debris and be able to be used for leaf pick-up on the Streets. This type of machine would be truck mounted. A machine of this size would cost between $50,000 and $60,000. I would recommend we purchase same from the Sewer and Water fund. It then could be leased to the Street and Park Department each year for cleaning storm sewers, catch basins and leaf pick-up in Streets and Parks. This leased cost can be budgeted annually. This will allow us to have a more stable budget. The alternative is to program complete cleaning of our systems on a four (4) year cycle. Based on the number of miles of lines that should be cleaned per year and the present contractual cost, this cost would be approximately $50,000 per year. I know this is not an acceptable budget cost and it only points out the fact that this is one area of maintenance that can be done by the City at a more reasonable cost. I might add that the maintenance we have been doing on our lines is not satisfactory and the,main reason is we do not have the proper equipment. This machine will solve that for three departments. Also, last year I reported the need for rebuilding some of the Sanitary Sewer Systems in the S.E. area of the City. This information was found in an old Sewer Line T.V. Report. This report, however, only covered a small percentage of the lines. To complete our report as to which line will have to be replaced, we will need to televise the lines. We can get this done at a lower price if we clean the lines. This machine is capable of doing this. 4 -tee Ar Memo to Mayor & City Council August 19, 1977 Page 2 I recommend you approve of the Writing of Specifications for this equipment. Subsequent to completion of same, 1 would report back for a recommended bid date. ns CC: Fred Roberts Finley Mix Sincerely, CITY OF HUTCHINSON Marlow V.

FROM: Jeff SUBJECTS Tennis Courts The Recreation Department would like to request permission from the City Council to apply for the Outdoor Athletic Court Section of the LAWCON Grant. The grant money would be used to help construct four new tennis courts at North Jaycee Park. The grant would cover 50X of the costs of the new tennis courts. The grant money is totally funded through the state, no federal money is included. The existing tennis courts, elementary school courts and high school courts, are consistently receiving heavy pressure. Many times players must wait in order to get a court in which to play. With the rapidly increasing interest in tennis in Hutchinson the situation would surely get worse. The Recreation Department's sucessful tdnnis instruction program and junior open tdnnis tournament along with the growing adult leagues are proof of this. At the present time there are no tennis courts in the northern section of town. The tentative site for the tennis courts are ideally situated on the level southeast section of North Jaycee Park. In order to be eligible for the grant, the application must be in by September 16, 1977.

The amendment calls for the addition of a I/C-1 District to the Zoning Ordinance. This district is designed specifically for the I-1 District along the railroad tracks from the river to Fourth Avenue. This is an area in transition from residential and commercial to commercial and industrial. At present, the setback requirements of the I-1 District make development im- possible on less than three lots with the requirements being 50' on the front and rear yard and 25' on the side yards. Due to the fact that it is all but impossible to put together three lots in this area, the setback requirements discourage development of the area. Also the uses allowed in an I-1 District prohibit the upgrading of most of the structures presently in this district. As a result, the I/C-1 District was developed. This district would allow for all uses as a condition4l permitted use with setbacks and other measures to be established on an individual basis. Thus the City would be able to adjust the requirements as the mixture of uses demands. This amendment has been reviewed by the City Attorney and received his approval. Should the Planning Commission approve it, it will be brought before the City Council on September 27th. I/C-1 Industrial/Commercial District Purpose It is the purpose of the I/C-1 District to allow for development of areas where there is a transition in use occurring, but sites are not available which would allow for compliance with other district requirements.

J. Black FOR YOUR INFORMATION FROM: Dean M. O'Borsky, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Governor's Appointment On Tuesday, August 9, 1977, I was contacted by the Governor's Office and they advised me that my consideration for appointment to the new State Crime Control Planning Board did not go through. A Governor's aide advised me that I was in the running for the position down to the final couple of people who were considered. He also advised me that the Governor had requested that I be asked to serve on the new Minnesota Peace Officer Standard and Training Board in lieu of the Planning Board. I accepted the appointment to the position on the Training Board. Actually, the appointment to the Training Board is more valuable to me and to the City perhaps in terms of my ability to work more within the limits of my expertise and interest and'experience in law enforcement. I am pleased to be a member of this board and it will probably take a lot less time than would have been necessary with the Crime Control Planning Board and therefore I am looking forward to working on the Board.
