cp06-28-1977 cJUNE 28, 1977 CITY OF HUTCHINSON ISSUE NO. 8 STATE DISAPPROVES POPULATION ESTIMATE The City has received notification that the City's population of 9,546 for the year 1977 has not been approved. It is noted that the State presently cites the 1975 revenue shar- ing estimate of 8,267. Clarence Simonowicz and I will be attempting to meet with Hazel Reinhardt, State Demog- rapher, to negotiate a reworking of the estimate. This population has a direct impact on the City's levy limitation. LIQUOR STORE MANAGER - INTERVIEWS HELD On Saturday morning, June 25, 1977, Ralph Westlund and I interviewed four additional applicants for the position of Liquor Store Manager. It appears a recommendation will be presented for the next Council meeting, after var- ious references are checked out. ACCOUNTANT/CONTROLLER - INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED This Friday, July 1, 1977, at 2:00 P.M. D. J. Black, Ralph Westlund and I will be inter- viewing applicants for the position of Accountant/Controller. We have received approximately 12 applications, of which four will be interviewed Fri- day afternoon. COMPUTER DECISION DELAYED A decision on the computer system has been postponed, as we are waiting for some informa- tion regarding contract expiration dates for the present hardware. The additional time will also facilitate a firming -up of a recommendation from the Utilities. APPLICATION FOR SIGN PERMIT RECEIVED I personally drove out and talked with Jerry Brown regarding his sign. He calmly described his concerns, and said he would take out a sign permit. Subsequently, last Friday we re- ceived his applicatiori'for the permit, including the sign measurements. AGENDA REGULAR MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1977 ,/1.

Mayor Black reported that subsequent to a letter sent by Building Offi- cial Willard to Mr. Jerry D. Brown requesting his appearance at the City Council meeting, Mr. Brown had written and delivered copies of a letter to each of the Council members. The incident involved a mis- understanding regarding a sign permit required for erection of a new sign at the Brown Floral Store on Second Avenue S.W.

(e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST TO ADD TWO ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES TO POLICE RESERVE Chief of Police O'Borsky has requested the hiring of Brian Jay Kla- witter and Bradley Joseph Knutson as reserve police officers on a part- time basis. There are presently seven active reserve officers, and this would bring the number up to nine. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder- man Haag, to approve the appointment of Brian Jay Klawitter and Bradley Joseph Knutson as part-time police reserve officers. Motion carried unanimously. 10. MISCELLANEOUS (a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLERK -ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Administrative Assistant Plotz reported on the City's group insurance coverage which expires August 1, 1977. He further pointed out that a new law was passed by the State Legislature which requires advertising for bids every five years before contracting. Mr. Plotz summarized the results of.a survey which was distributed to all City employees in the May Employee Newsletter. The majority indi- cated an interest in dental coverage being included in the insurance package. He commented that money has been put into the budget for den- tal coverage for next year. Several employees had requested a larger share or full coverage for maternity. Mayor Black commented that at one time a survey had been taken among the employees, and the majority was not interested in this coverage. Alderman Westlund then remarked that perhaps the maternity coverage should be increased, but he didn't feel the City should pay for full coverage. Administrative Assistant Plotz commented briefly on renting four mov- able restrooms for the three-day period of the Water Carnival activi- ties. -4- Council Minutes June 14, 1977 Mr. Plotz informed the Council that Gary Erickson of the CETA Manpower Office had informed him the State Department of Administration, Real Estate Division, had not approved the renewal of their contract for space in the Old Armory. The City will, therefore, be receiving a 45 -day notice of vacation of the office space by August 1, 1977. Gov- ernor Rudy Perpich has issued an edict that all State office space must be "barrier free" to facilitate movement of the handicapped so they must find a new location. Administrative Assistant Plotz reported that the date of Wednesday, August 24, 1977 has been selected for the Employee Picnic. Personnel Coordinator Sitz has been coordinating the activities, and a band has been contacted to play at the picnic. Also, door prizes will be given away. The topic of the City's computer operation was again discussed, and Mr. Plotz mentioned that a meeting of the governing bodies (Hospital Board, Utilities Commission, and City Council) has been suggested for Tuesday, June 28, 1977 at 4:00 P.M. Also, Ted Willard is willing to make a pre- sentation on the LOGIS System on June 22, 1977 at 3:00 P.M., following the bid opening. (b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM COMMODORE OF WATER CARNIVAL Commodore Dick McClure appeared before the Council regarding the desig- nated location for the carnival'to set up their rides -and stands. Mayor Black commented that last year the carnival had located in front of some private homes, and there had been complaints from the property owners. Therefore, this year the carnival should set up between Glen and Main Street, and if necessary to go beyond the railroad tracks, go down the side street. (c) COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR The Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board has recommended the appoint- ment of Lowell D. ("Tip") Mills to the Board of Commissioners to fill the unexpired term of Reverend Thor Skeie. Mayor Black approved the appoint- ment and asked for Council ratification. It was moved by Alderman Haag, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to ratify the appointment of Lowell D. Mills to the Housing and Redevelopment Author- ity Board with his unexpired term to end August, 1977. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Black reported that he had been contacted by a resident regarding handicapped ramps at intersections for those in wheel chairs. He stated that this is a State requirement for new city streets in the downtown area. City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe was then instructed to determine the cost of cutting ramps into the intersection curbs on Main Street. -5- Council Minutes June 14, 1977 Mayor Black reported he had received several items of correspondence from Chief of Police O'Borsky. The first item pertained to a complaint from a citizen asking that a "No Parking" yellow zone be established at the corner of Grove Street and Washington Avenue West to provide better visibility. Mayor Black instructed Assistant Public Works Direc- tor Roberts to take action on this matter. Chief of Police O'Borsky requested permission to purchase a portable electronic alarm system which resembles a brief case for catching burglars. When the pre -recording is activated, it sounds on the police car radios and at the base station. One unit costs approximately $1,100. Mayor Black recommended approval for the Police Department to purchase such an alarm system, if the money is available in the budget. It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Haag, to auth- orize the Police Department to purchase a portable electronic alarm system, contingent upon funds being available in the budget. Motion carried unanimously. There have been incidents of vandalism which have not been reported to the Police Department. The Mayor asked Administrative Assistant Plotz to send out a memorandum stating that all incidents are to be reported immediately to the Police Department. Mayor Black mentioned that two applications have been received for on - sale intoxicating liquor, namely, the Velvet Coach and Tom Dolder. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Haag, to set a Public Hearing for June 28, 1977 during the regular Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. The Mayor made reference to the November 25, 1968 City Council minutes in which Carl Moehring of Moehring Motors was issued a permit to enable him to park cars on the City boulevard. The fringe areas of the City are starting to use the boulevards and sidewalks to park cars and dis- play merchandise, which is becoming a problem. After a lengthy discus- sion, the consensus of the Council was that a letter should be sent to Moehring Motors (now under the name of Wm. -James Auto Inc.) and ask to discuss the situation with them. (d) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN WESTLUND Alderman Westlund commented about the flag in Library Square, and he was informed that a replacement had been put up. Mr. Westlund raised a question about the $100 a month fee charged for the engineer from the Elementary School to inspect the City's boiler. It was explained that since the City doesn't have anyone qualified to do the inspection, the Elementary School engineer is hired for the job. -6- Council Minutes June 14, 1977 (e) COMMUNICATIONS FROM ALDERMAN HAAG Alderman Haag commented on a meeting he had attended at the Annual League of Municipalities Conference in Rochester on energy shortages. He felt that Hutchinson should be doing something about ways of con- serving and suggested several agencies to contact for information. (f) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ENGINEER/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that the traffic study requested of the Minnesota Department of Transportation should be ready by July 15, 1977. Mr. Priebe asked for Council approval to sell the City's 1959 Porter trailer (sludge hauling tank) for $1,200 to George B. Curtis from New Ulm. It was moved by Alderman Haag, seconded by Alderman R. Peterson, to authorize the sale of the 1959 Porter trailer for $1,200 to George B. Curtis. Motion carried unanimously. 11. CLAIMS, APPROPRIATIONS, AND CONTRACT PAYMENTS (a) VERIFIED CLAIMS A motion was made by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Haag, to approve the verified claims and authorize payment from the appropriate funds. Motion carried unanimously. 12. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 9:20 P.M. on motion by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson. Motion carried unanimously. -7- MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1977 Mayor Black called the special meeting of the City Council to order at 3:00 P.M. Those in attendance were Aldermen Westlund and K. Peterson in addition to the Mayor. Absent: Aldermen Haag and B. Peterson. Also present were Administrative Assistant Plotz and City Attorney Schantzen. The Invitation for Proposals to Underwrite Various Insurable Risk of the City of Hutchinson, Minnesota (City of Hutchinson, Hutchinson Utilities Commission, Hutchinson Community Hospital, Burns Manor Nursing Home and All Affiliated, Subsidiary Entities as Now Are or Shall Hereafter Be Constituted) was read by Mayor Black. One bid was submitted and opened from the following: Madsen Agency, Inc. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to refer the bid to the Administrative Assistant and City Attorney for review and consideration. Motion carried unanimously. The special meeting was adjourned at 3:15 P.M. on motion by Alderman K. Peter- son, seconded by Alderman Westlund. Motion carried unanimously. Following the Council meeting, Mr. Ted Willard brought a presentation on the LOGIS System. J. 3 (612) 879-2311 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST HUTCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E V.I. U h f- N D U M WkTE: -- - jime_Z4X1977 -- - - - - TO: __ Mayor and City Council FROM- Gary_ D. Plotz t Administrative Assistant _ _ . _ ... , _ _ _ _ SUBJECT: Insurance for Intoxicating Liquor License A local insurance agent notified our office that the City has approved on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses with insurance limits at less than those specified by City Ordinance. As seen by the attached information, two licenses exist with less cover- age than required by the Ordinance. The insurer's client would like $100,000/300,000 bodily injury coverage to remain (refer to Chalet Supper Club), as the higher $250,000/500,000 limits require two layers of insurance and exceptionally high premiums. There appears to be two alternatives: 1. Require all intoxicating license holders to have the higher limits ($250,000/500,000), or 2. Amend the Ordinance to allow for $100,000/300,000.

Mr. Basil Bell has been doing satisfactory Work and has adopted well to our work program. He has had to take an unusual number of time -off for sick leave. This is due to his arthritic condition, which he did not indicate on his application form. Although he does good work, I do not believe that placing Mr. Bell on full time status is practical, inasmuch as, it makes it difficult to schedule full crews. Also, he admits that his leg bothers him quite extensively while operating the motor grader. I would request that he continue work on a temporary status until he finds another position. This status would not have the benefit of sick leave, paid vacation or paid holidays. Mr. Douglas Meier has been doing satisfactory work and has adopted well to our work program. I recommend he be placed on a full time status with an increase in salary relative to the next step in grade. Mr. Floyd Groehler has, also, been doing satisfactory work and has adopted well to our work program. I recommend he be placed on full time status with an increase in salary relative to the next step in grade. Respectfully, CITY OF HUTCHINSON Marlow V.

Some discussion ensued on the vandalism at the tennis courts by jamming the coin machines used for lighting.

The Board recommended that the City Council approve a Minnesota Land Use Planning Grant preliminary application presented by Don Pauley. A motion was made by Mr. Mor- rissette, seconded by Mr. Falconer to this effect, an "aye" vote by all members followed. The preliminary application would request $18,000 of state funds to improve land use in three problem areas, as outlined in his report. The grant would fund a park and open space expansion and development plan which would project the City's acquisition of park lands years in advance. Mr. Pauley believes the City has a good 7. e, Minutes cont. June 1, 1977 Page 2 chance of being funded this year. Mr. Pauley also recommended presenting a new budget each year. He reported the West River Park is averaging $30.00 per week in electric and water fees paid by campers. No vandalism has occurred in that area at this time.

Orderly transition from farm to urban uses shall be achieved by (1) annexation, .rezoning and development adjacent to the incorporate limits of existing urban center, or (2) contiguous development as a logical exten- sion of similar urban land uses and zoned to the appropriate district. It is intended that the status of all areas in this district be re- viewed, jointly, by the appropriate planning bodies once per calendar year who shall determine whether there should be a transfer of all or any part of such area to some other appropriate land use, or to indicate any change in the existing Land Use Plan for the particular political entry or change in the Capital Program of the community affecting the district. Permitted Uses 1. All uses permitted in Section 5.1 A District 2. Single-family non-farm dwellings Conditional Uses 1. All conditional uses permitted in 5.1(2) Height, yard area and lot width requirement Height Regulations, front, rear and side regulations shall be the same as Section 5.1 t 4, y Lot Area Regulations 1. There shall be a minimum lot size of thirty-five (35) acres per new residential dwelling unit 2.

Diseased tree surveys of the entire City are taken once each week with detection by both field techniques and laboratory with the last necessary for a written removal notice of the property owner and marking of the tree for removal. Small branches are chipped while the rest of the tree is burned within 24 hours of removal. The disposal site is approximately one mile outside the City limits in an abandoned gravel pit owned by the City. Root graft control with Vapam is performed between Elm trees up to 50 feet apart at the time that field determination of the disease is made. Both public and private property have 20 days to remove a diseased tree after notification with chipping of the stump required at the time of removal. The City maintains a stock of trees for regular replanting on public property. A mixed variety of trees are used to prevent a reoccurrence of the present situation. D�%7�TE' ', ;l ,77 a �:n .�v. POLIC" DEPARTMENT MEMOPANDUM TO: 1;'avc, r FROM: Dean 'A. O' Borsky, Chief of Pl-1-1ce SUBJECT: Civil Defense- Sirens I talked to Mr. Ray Wayland of Weber & Troseth Company who is the bidder on the siren contract. As you know there have been several pro- blems which have caused a major delay in the implementation of the siren s7stem in the city of Hutchinson. These delays have been caused by several reason— The first one is the fact that the incorrect radio code numbers were installed by the siren factory in our receivers which were mounted or the poles:- The second major factor involved was the problem with the Motorola encoder whioh,we discovered at a very late date, was incompatible with the federal siren system which simply means that the method of electronically activating the sirens was not operational. Therefore, we were forced to re -order a new encoder which will be compat- ib1P with the system as it now stands. Mr. Wayland assurea me on the telephone today that there was absolut- ely nothing he could do to hurry up the process any more than he has done so far and advised me that the siren system will be completely operational by the 13th of July, 1977. At this time a new radio operhted encoder is being constructed at the federal factory on a rush basis with a priority which will allow us to have it in our hands by the 2nd of July. Wi-Lh these assurances in hand 1 don't see where any further sanctions or any withdrawel of performance bonds would do anything rather than make a bad situation worse. "therefore, I would suggest that we continue to be patient and make the best of a bad situation by doing everything we can in a positive manner to sssure that the system will be operational as quickly as possible.

Your investigation and recommendations on this would be an aid to pedestrian and bike safety. This matter has been brought to the attention of the Safety Council by a resident in this area, who has observed safety hazzards by pedestrians both walking and riding their bikes across the highway.

Black City Council Members City Hall Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 CENTURY AVENUE _u&&S0n, inWA9 55350 Dear Mayor Black and City Council Members, TELEPHONE 612/896-1665 The Hutchinson Community Hospital Board has for the past several months been evaluating semi -automated chemistry analyzers. At the June 21, 1977 regular Hospital Board Meeting findings were presented and a recommendation was made to purchase an instrument in the amount of $14,875.00 from Electro -Nucleonics, Inc., Fairfield, New Jersey. The cost of the blood analyzer is in excess of the amount normally required to bid. Because of the highly technical nature of this machine it would be virtually impossible to find an equal. Other alternatives were explored and for our purposes'we found this machine to be the most economically feasible. (See attached letter from Dr. S.M. Larkin, the hospitals' pathologist.) A motion was made and seconded to request the City Council to authorize Hutchinson Community Hospital to purchase this machine at a cost of $14,875.00. This request is being sent to you in accordance with Ordinance #457 "that any single capital item of purchase of $2500.00 or more shall first be approved by the City Council". Thank you ,for your consideration. Sincerely, Philip Graves�� Administrator PGG:lkm Attachment 1 '_WNE 1612) 645 1009 CENTRAL REGIONAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, P.A. 393 NORTH UUNLAP ROOM= 46 SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55104 June 16, 1977 Phil Graves Administrator Hutchinson Community Hospital Century Avenue Hutchinson, MN 55350 Dear Mr. Graves: For the past year the laboratory has been evaluating semi-automdted chemistry analyzers in anticipation of purchasing an intermediate -cost instrument to perform a large number of tests now done manually. At our present lab volume, such an instrument is certainly justified if not overdue. The Chemetrics analyzer was installed on a trial basis last summer, and was unsuitable for numerous reasons. Other systems presently functioning in hospitals where my colleagues and I consult are: Abbott ABA 100, various Gilford systems, Clinicard, DuPont ACA, SMA -12, and Gemeni. It has been my opinion that of these instruments, the Gemeni is uniquely suited for our purposes. What we are looking for is a machine with the following features: T. Modest price ($5,000 - $20,000) 2. easy to operate and repair, 3. reasonable reagent cost and availability, 4. "stat" capability, 5. large variety of tests, 6. "micro" volumes of blood (for pediatrics), 7. accuracy and precision. The Gemeni has several features that set it apart from other machines in this price range. The centrifugal analysis concept allows for extreme simplicity of operation and repair. The methods of chemical analysis it employs are superior to many of the competing machines, especially in enzyme chemistry. There are three other instruments employing the centri- fugal analysis concept, but these machines are in the $70,000 - $80,000 range because they also employ computers and complex dilutors and pipettors. In our one month trial at Hutchinson Com unity'Hospital, the techs have had the same experience that I have had with the Gemeni at St. Paul Ramsey. They are totally satisfied with every aspect of the machine. In summary, I recommend purchase of the Gemeni that is presently installed Phil Graves -2- June 16, 1977 in the lab. If we do this within the next few weeks we will realize a savings of about $2,000 since the cost of the machines has gone up since our machine was installed. We have spent a year considering various alternatives and it is becoming increasingly apparent that we have exhausted our alternatives, and that this machine is clearly superior to the others we have seen.

THe program is concerned primarily with excellence in design and planning of publicly oriented activities. One of the specific areas for which funding is available is the Livable Cities program. The basic purpose of this program is, "to encourage exemplary design in our communities as an integral part of the planning process." The Livable Cities program will provide matching grants to promote design excellence in research, planning, and conceptualization of community projects. The projects which will be implemented in a manner that will assure significant and long-term impact are given the highest priority for funding by the National Endowment for the Arts. One of the project types that is specifically sited by the Endowment for the Arts as being eligible under the Livable Cities program is Commercial District Revitalization. A review of the eligibility guidelines reveals that the City of Hutchinson would be eligible for participation in this program. Matching grants of up to $30,000 will be awarded however, most grants will be less. The matching portion must be a part of the approved budgeted project and spent within the period specified in the grant application. After reviewing the brochure provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is available for your review, I would recommend that the City give serious consideration to submitting an application for a grant under this program. The grant could provide financial assistance in the formal planning and architectural stages of the downtown revitalization and municipal facilities program which we are presently evaluating. Should the City Council authorize these programs it will be necessary for staff and consultants to undertake a rather extensive planning and architectural study in the initial phases of the program. A grant of this type could help cover some of the cost for this aspect of the program. I would appreciate your comments with regards to this proposal as it will be necessary for us to pull together a great deal of information in the preparation of the aplication which must be submitted no later than October 14, 1977 JOHN B.
