shall place, or have placed, root graft barriers in the prescribed
manners as currently recommended by the Commissioner of Agriculture

apply to therapeutic pruning, shall apply.
Section 1020:60. Chemical Treatment. The City, recognizing the value of

r DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT BOARD
May 8, 1979
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Skip Quade at 12:05 P.M.
with the following members present: Don Abbott, Jay Alrick, Don
Glas, Dennis Hukriede, Tom O'Connell, Skip Quade, Tom Savage, Robert
Stearns, and Lloyd Torgrimson. Also attending was ex -officio mem-
ber D. J. Black, Consultant Clarence Simonowicz, Mr. Albert and Mr.
Smiley from the A & P Group, City Engineer Marlow Priebe, and Admin
istrative Assistant Gary Plotz.
Mr. Quade opened the meeting by stating two subjects were to be cov-
ered, basically the motel and the retail shopping center.
Consultant Clarence Simonowicz then took the floor stating he had a
few suggestions on changes for the plan to be made for the motel
project. He went on to explain by not taking Wilma's Beauty Shop
and two private homes the acquisition costs could be reduced by
$125,000. He also made the recommendation that the City retain the
property along the river bank to allow for walkways, bike paths,
hiking paths, etc. The decision had also been made to eliminate
purchasing the unemployment office.
The power plants main feeds run across this property and to put them
underground would cost about a quarter of a million dollars. He felt
this was something we could live with and not put them underground.
Mr. Simonowicz then passed out a table on the projected tax increments
from 1978 to the year 2000. (See attached). This table was based on
a projected 3% inflation factor. From this he showed no tax increment
for the first year in operation but then showed a $34,000 tax incre-
ment for the following year. These figures make the program more
financially feasible to go ahead with. He did, however, have some
recommendations before going ahead. One was a recommendation that no
action be taken on the present design and that the City Staff be
authorized to acquire property and the developers build per a chosen
design. The other recommendation being a joint plan agreement -be -
made between the Staff and developer and also an optional agreement
for bonds.
Mr. Don Olson of the Chamberlain Co. then spoke on his plan explaining
the constraints involved. One being the fact this area is in the flood
plain. The building was placed toward the center to minimize the amount
of fill. He also stated they had planned for 100 parking spaces ad-
jacent to Main Street so the buildings used by the community would be
oriented towards Main Street and the river. The layout of the restaurant
is yet to be determined. He explained all parts of the project must
work.
Mr. Dennis Hukriede asked

same with either location.
Mr. Ken Gruenhagen inquired about the parking as to how it compares to
others. Mr. Olson replied they figured 2 1/2 -spaces per unit based on
100 units which is the same they base on the others they have built.
Mr. Albert then added there will be a screening to the South so the
view from the rooms is better.
Lloyd Torgrimson stated normal patrons parking is by the rooms so
there will be parking available for others.
It was stated a letter of intent was received from Best Western and
they felt the feasibility was good.
Burlington Railroad owns three lots on the corner of the property
but Mr. Plotz stated negotiations were already taking place.
Lloyd Torgrimson asked what would happen if a miracle took place and
inflation would be brought under control in five years. He also in-
quired as to if the City would have to stand behind the bond. Clarence
Simonowicz suggested setting it up so the payments are low in the be-
ginning and higher toward the later years. He said more information
will be given from a computer run off dealing with this matter.
Mr. Tom Savage made a motion to authorize staff to negotiate joint
site agreements with the developers of the proposed motel project and
negotiate with the Burlington Railroad on behalf of the City and other
land owners for abandonment of a spur track in the area of the motel
site and for construction of a new connecting spur. Bob Stearns
seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
After discussion, Mr. Dennis Hukriede then made the.motion authorizing
the City staff to option property contingent upon approval of a bonding
committment and entering into a site agreement with the developer.
Seconded by Bob Stearns the motion carried unanimously.
At this point Mr. Simonowicz reviewed what the downtown development
process had been in the past since its beginning in August of 1975.
He stated it has been decided it lacked both exposure and parking.
However, after a traffic study, it is believed the exposure potential
is 5 to 1 against rural areas. As to the parking, a ratio of 5 to 1
has been talked of which is more than the amount planned for rural
area shopping complexes. The real parking problem is when you combine
the project with'the downtown already established. A suggestion might
be perhaps the City could purchase land across the street to the North,
at a later date, to help solve'its parking problem. He also recommended
the design be sent back and that they reduce walkways and malls and
find a better solution for the topography problem.
Mr. Albert stated the West side was not their concept of the number one
area and the only thing they know was a L-shaped area was talked about.
-2-
Mr. Quade said basically they are unhappy with this design. The fact
is this is the only feasible area and it is up to the developer to come
up with a plan that will fit in and one which must work. The criticisms
are an inefficient plan, elevation is not.shown, and alleys should be
better utilized.
Mr. Albert stated they estimated the shell rental space to rent for $5
to $5.50 per square foot.
Mayor Black added the developer doesn't have to solve the parking situation
for the City, only the parking for the project itself.
It was decided there must be areas planned for public activities such as
art shows, etc.
After much discussion, Lloyd Torgrimson made a motion to "reject the cur-
rent design, drawings, etc. Tom O'Connell seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously.
Mr. Quade then read a letter from some of the business merchants raising
money towards the project.
Mr. Jay Alrick mentioned a public meeting will be held on Tues., May 22,
1979 at 5:00 for all businessmen on ideas for the project.
There being no further business to come before the board at this time,
the meeting was adjourned at 1:40 P.M.

Dear Mr. Plotz:
AREA CODE 612

JUN. 1979 �r
RECEIVED
Would you kindly place the matter of Hutchinson Industrial
Corporation's industrial development revenue bonds before the
Council for final approval at its meeting on June 12. Again,
because of Councilman Huntwork's relationship to the company, we
would appreciate the same format which was utilized at the last
meeting.
All of us involved apologize that this bond issue, prior to
final approval, will have been before you on three occasions.
While we wanted to have the substance of the issue approved by
the Council at the last meeting, the length of time between the
last meeting and the closing date was such that a meaningful
negotiation of rate could not be accomplished. Obviously, the
rate being a significant term of the transaction, must now meet
with your final approval. Accordingly, the bond issue with final
rate will be before you for approval on Tuesday.
In addition to receiving final approval on a bond issuance,
we also wish to have approval for the sale of some additional
undeveloped land which the City owns as a result of the 1973
Series Bonds. This transaction will be comparable to the one
last August wherein we purchased the land on which the improve-
ments are now being constructed. For purposes of giving the 1979
Series bondholders easements for access and additional land sub-
ject to the mortgage for purposes of covering possible encroach-
ments by the new additions or their footings, this additional

land purchase has been made necessary. The undersigned will make
this presentation and answer any questions you may have concern-
ing it. of course, -all of the requirements of the 1973 Series
will be complied with, certifications of counsel and a professional
engineer will be given, and the transaction will ultimately be
consummated and approved by First Trust Company of St. Paul, the
trustee.
Thank you for your cooperation and best personal regards.
Very truly yours,

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Gary D. Plotz, Administrative Assistant _
sUBJECT: Employees Safety Committee Recommendations - Safety_Glasses _
ani �teef Toed��ioes— — — — — — — — — — '
The Employees Safety Committee requests that a policy be established for hardened
lens safety glasses and a revised policy on steel -toed shoes.
For those presently wearing correction glasses, the Committee requests that a policy
of a differential payment of $20 be made to the employee at the time he purchases
replacement glasses. The differential payment of $20 is the approximate difference
between hardened lenses and regular lenses. The Committee viewed this as a gradual
process that may take two to three years before employees would require another cor-
rection and purchase replacement glasses themselves. We estimate this policy would
cost the city approximately $80-100 each year.; however, it was advantageous in con-
sidering the expense of a possible claim.
A second recommendation is to allow full payment for clear hardened lenses for those
individuals who regularly perform a hazardous job (i.e., chain saw operation, grind-
ing, etc.). The approximate cost is $25 per pair. Generally our part-time people are
not involved in hazardous jobs, however, in the event they do perform continuing dan-
gerous jobs, such as a chain saw crew, the Committee felt that in those instances the
policy should be applicable, The cost to establish this policy would be approximately
$500 (20 employees X $25).
In regards to the employee that has very occasional exposure, safety glasses would be
required to be worn.
The third recommendation of the Committee is to adjust the existing payment policy for
the subsidy for steel -toed shoes from the -existing $15 to $20 for the first pair, and
from $5 to $10 for the second pair.
MINUTES
HUTCHINSON CITY EMPLOYEES SAFETY COMMITTEE
The City Safety Committee met on February 23, 1979 at 3:30 in the City Hall
auditorium.
Members present were George Field, Randy DeVries, Steve Jensen, Gale Boelter,
Hazel Sitz, Gary Plotz and Mary Rose.
No accidents have been reported since November. George Field stressed the
importance of reporting accidents immediately.
CPR classes are being held four times weekly at the hospital. Gary Plotz
noted that he would like to see all office employees take this four-hour
course during business hours. He will send a memo to Department Heads
informing them of the CPR classes available.
Red Cross First Aid Training will start the end of March or beginning of April.
The council has authorized this class for Street, Park, Recreation, and Water
and Sewer employees, but should be available to all city employees who want to
attend.
The Safety Committee recommended the adoption of a policy whereas the City
would pay for safety glasses if an individual doesn't normally wear glasses,
and pay the difference between regular glasses and safety glasses for those
who -do wear glasses. A possible alternative would be for the City to pay $15.00
towards the purchase of safety glasses. Gary Plotz will submit this recommen-
dation to the council. George Field stressed the importance of wearing safety
glasses. He will try to get someone to give a demonstration of proper eye
safety.
The Water d Sewer Department will be receiving new air -packs within the next
few days. They should be placed near the most common entrance. George will
demonstrate to the crew the proper use of the air -packs. A training session
has been scheduled the week of April 20 for various groups on the safe handling
of chlorine.
The Water d Sewer Department expressed concern about safe use of the new
sewer jet machine. It was understood that safety training will be included
at the time the machine is demonstrated.
George sent a letter to the Minnesota Safety Council, asking for information on
safety programs available. He hasn't received a reply as yet.
Meeting adjourned at 4:30.

The City Safety Committee met on Friday, June 1, at 3:30 in the auditorium

Randy DeVries, Quent Larson, Steve Jensen and Mary Rose.
The first item discussed was the establishing of a policy regarding safety
glasses to be placed on the June 12 council agenda. The safety committee
recommended the adoption of a policy whereas the city would pay $20.00 towards
the purchase of safety glasses for those who don't normally wear glasses, and
pay the difference between regular glasses and safety glasses for those who do
wear glasses. Summer, and temporary employees would be required to wear a face
shield or goggles if doing hazardous work. If they will be doing this type of
work for three months or more, the city would pay for their safety glasses.
George will meet with new employees after the June 12 council meeting and
explain the safety policy to them.
The training program for recreation department summer employees is scheduled
for June 7.
The best time to hold multimedia safety classes would be during rainy weather.
It was understood that the engineering department be included in these classes.
It was also suggested that the reimbursement for steel -toed shoes be increased
from $15.00 to $20.00 for the first pair and from $5.00 to $10.00 for the next
pair.
There was discussion of establishing an incentive program to make employees
more concerned with safety. One suggestion was that the city initiate some -
kind of an award system for those with a good safety record. It was also sug-
gested that the best time to discuss safety record would be during the perfor-
mance evaluations coming up soon. Others believed that a fairer way to handle
it would be for the safety committee, with the department head present, to -
evaluate each accident and try to determine who or what was to blame. It was
thought that this would be better than having just one person's opinion of who
was at fault. The comment was made that an award system usually works better
than a penalty system. It was suggested that we try to come up with other ideas
before our next meeting.
Randy DeVries, Dick Ebert, and Dick Nagy attended the chlorine handling seminar
and said it was very informative.
The water and sewer department mentioned the need for a device to detect gas,
or lack of oxygen. They also noted that safety training is needed in the
handling of the boom, vac -all, and jet -spray machines.
A memo will be sent to Fred and Marlow requesting that they see about ob-
taining more pliable vests.
The next meeting is scheduled for the last week of June.

FROM• Bruce Ericson, Recreation Director
SUBJECT: 5 year Master Development Plan
At the June 6th Park & Recreation Board Meeting the Board
recommended that the Enginering Department and the Recreation
Department develope a master plan which will serve as a guide
for the development of the system -of parks and recreational
facilities in Hutchinson.
If approved this plan will recommend locations for future land
acquisitions and establish a priorty for capital expenditures
for recreational improvements. The plan is not intended to
be a definitive blueprint that must be strictly followed,
rather, it should be used as a guide and retain a degree of
flexibility.
The plan will require periodic revisions and will include the
evaluation of all recreational opportunities whether they are
managed by the municipality, county, school district, or
private agencies.

SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for 1979-80 Lawcon Grants
City Administrator, Gary Plotz and myself attended a workshop
in Alexandria which outlined the proper preceedure necessary
to make the Preliminary Application necessary for Parks and
Outdoor Recreation Grants for the -fiscal year 1980.
There are two programs availiable: the Fedreal Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LAWCON) and the State Legislation Commission
on Minnesota Resorces (LCMR). The amounts availiable in each
program is not definite, however, they have provided "reasonable
estimates".
-LAWCON- $3 million divided 50/50 between the 7 county Mpls./St, P.
metro area and the rest of the state.
-LCMR- $900,00 for local projects in Metro area
$900,000 for local projects in rest of the state
$900,000 for regional projects in rest of the state
In 1978 309 preliminary applications were received and 120 were
recommended for funding. Applications are ranked and recommended
for funding as follows:
LAWCON Grants 50%
*LCMR Grants 25%,
Local Share 25%
*However the building portion of LCMR Grants is limited to 12h%.
The deadline for the Preliminary Application is June 29th with
the deadline for the final applications being December 7, 1979.
- Lawcon Grants cont.
If approved our Preliminary Application will include the following items for
the development of McDonald's Park: lighting, fencing, water, sewer,
building, and other construction costs which are eligible according to
LAWCON and LCMR regulations.
Respectfully submitted,
Bruce Ericson

SUBJECT: Adjustment of Recreation Department 1979 Capital Outlay'Budger
------------------------
Currently the Recreation Department 1979 Capital Outlay Budget
includes:
one used pick-up truck $1250
dry line marker 80-
paint sprayer 100
Total $1430
I would like to request a change in the 1979 Capital Outlay
Budget for the Recreation Department requiring an additional
$650, making the total $2080 and would include the following
items.
1. The purchase of a used 1973 Chevy pick-up truck at
William -James Auto of Hutchinson - $1500.
2. 35mm camera - $300. This camera is an essential part
of our award system for the youth activities for the year.
3. A dry line field marker which has already been purchased
- $140.
4. An additional dry line field marker - $140.
I realize that changes in the budget is not a normal procedure
and an item should be included at the time of -budget preparation.
However, due to changes that have occured in the Recreation
Department the Capital Outlay Budget must have been very
difficult to predict for 1979.
This -recommendation is given with the approval of the Park .&
"Recreation Board Meeting of June 6, 1979.

SUBJECT: Up -Grading City Department's Radio -Systems - - - - - - - - -
The purchase of two hand-held radios is recommended at this time by Marlow Priebe and
myself. We feel this would be advantageous in the event we have another power outage
or there is any other type of an emergency in the future. Both of us are suggesting
foregoing of a portion of our budgeted capital outlay; a plan file for Engineering
and a coin changer machine in the City Clerk's Office. -
One radio is new and is a close-out unit for $650; the other unit has been used a
few hours, for $540. Both have three -channel capability so that we can monitor two
additional channels, being the Police Department and especially the Utilities Com=
mission crews. Permission to monitor these channels has been given by Utilities.
We would also propose to convert one hand-held radio of the Building Official for
truck radios to utilize the full channel -capability for the purpose of monitoring
the Utilities. The cost per channel (crystal) is $40. We feel this would be a wise
investment in view of our inability to monitor these people during the past power
emergencies. The Police Department's new radio console would be able to patch in
return messages if necessary. However, the radio console does not have the ability
to let the individual City units monitor the activities of the Utilities.

RE: TAX-EM4PT HOUS1Nc F4EMM BONDS FOR YOUR INFORMATION
We had hoped to distribute to our clients a detailed technical letter
this week outlining recent legislative changes in single and multifamily
housing revenue bond financing programs. The Minnesota Legislature
enacted new regulations for such programs at the tail end of the last
session. While it is a workable program that many cities might use,
the new regulations are more restrictive with respect to income limits,
maximum purchase prices, amount of :bonds to be issued, submission of
housing plans and their compatibility with comprehensive plans, methods
of monitoring the implementation by participants to insure that the
P rograms will be consistent with the plan and its.objectives, and the
review and approval of various goverrmiental agencies.
On the federal level, the House Ways and Means Committee also is studying
single and multifamily revenue bond programs. We bad felt that any federal
restruction imposed on such programs would not be any more restrictive
than the changes our legislature enacted. About the only thing that looks
certain is a transition stage for issues trapped in the pipeline since
April 24, to come to market. Restrictions on future issues are being
debated right now. There are strong indications that federal changes could
severely restrict prospective issues, regardless of state regulations.
Being discussed are limiting such bond issues to state finance authorities,
limits on the amount of bonds issued by a state in a year, revoking the
tax-exempt status of the bonds after three or five years, imposing a
two year moratorium on future issues after the last issue in the pipeline
is closed, and replacing such bond issues with a tax credit for home bMers
using the restrictive limits set forth in the bill which 'would cut out
the middle man."
As you can see, the housing bond program remains very questionable. Many
underwriters and cities are of the opinion that such programs should be
initiated while it is still technically possible, or, in other words,
'bake hay while the sun shines . " Other underwriters and cities are of
the opinion that they should wait just a little longer and see what the
final results will be. Either sides can present a fairly strong argument
for their case. As both a financial consultant and underwriter, we feel
it our duty to advise our clients as to the current status of a very
controversial issue. At your request, we would be willing to meet with you,
your staffs, committees, or councils to discuss this matter further. Until
something definitive comes out of Washington, we will not aggressively
pursue housing bonds with our clients unless we are asked to do so. As
further developments occur, we will keep you posted. Please call us if you
have questions or desire more technical information.

The big news was the outlawing of housing bonds by a proposed_ law, by a non -law.
Following Treasury's lead, Congress found it can rule effectively by proposing
a law with an immediately effective date whether or not the proposal ever becomes
law. Attorneys won't issue "tax exempt" opinions in the face of such proposed
laws or Treasury regs and, without such opinions, bonds aren't marketable. Such
laws can't be challenged because they are only "proposed"; any court challenge
would be premature.
It wasn't all bad in that some massive offerings were headed off just when casualty
insurance companies left the bond market. The market was about to be swamped.
Sometime we'll have to decide what public purposes are really entitled to tax
exempt financing. A public purpose can be found in practically every activity.
(Even a driver's or pilot's license is or is not "in the public interest" and
therefore granted or denied.) Let's try a modest proposal: The test of whether
a purpose is entitled to tax exempt financing should rest on whether ownership
of the facility (long term lease or title or other legal control) will be in
public hands. Except possibly for health organizations, when the principal
beneficiary is a private entity the financing should not be entitled to a state's
constitutional exemption from federal taxation.
Only those facilities which serve the public and which will be owned and controlled
by the states or their subdivisions and, without which,the states' sovereignty
would be impaired would be constitutionally tax exempt. The constitutional argu-
ment is much stronger if only those functions essential to a state's sovereignty
are exempt from taxation by the federal government whose powers were originally
delegated by the states. Congress might still exempt certain borrowings from
federal taxation, but it would be by federal, not state, legislation.
The bond market remains remarkably steady
considering the inflation. One waits for
the other shoe to drop.

MARKET MUSINGS
THE S -
'Ir
LETTER
June, 1979
Ma was a relatively light month for bond offerings, with about $2.7 billion in volume compared
to 3.1 billion in April, 1979, and $5.1 billion in May, 1978 (the last month of advance refundings).
This light volume was demonstrated by the drop in the BBI from a 6.27% on May 3 to a 6.16% on
May 31. This may not continue for long because the May 31 Placement Ratio dropped to 78.4%
from 90% the week before. The Visible Supply is also high at $1.95 billion and the Blue List is up
to over $1 billion. With the current moratorium on housing bonds however, we may be able to
survive current market conditions without major increases in interest rates.
COMPETITIVE vs. NEGOTIATED SALES
There are two basic marketing routes available to an issuer for the sale of bonds: (1) by public
competitive sale, or (2) by negotiation, except as prohibited by law.
A public competitive offering occurs when the issuer invites all qualified bidders to submit offers
for an issue whose terms the issuer has prescribed, primarily on the basis of the terms thought by
the issuer to be most favorable to its interests, and secondarily on the basis of market
acceptability.
A negotiated offering is one for which the issuer agrees to give a specific underwriter the
exclusive option to purchase the bonds, usually on the condition that the underwriter will
ultimately make an acceptable offer..
In the public competitive situation the issuer, with its financial advisor, such as SPRINGSTED
Incorporated, or alone, decides what the terms of the bonds to be issued will be. These terms
include the length of the issue, maximum rates, whether a discount shall or shall not be allowed,
rate of prepayment, redemption rights, the security to be offered, etc. Each of the critical
factors are decided by the issuer without any direct underwriter influence.
By contrast, in a negotiated environment the underwriter is usually an active, if not predominant
party to all decisions regarding the terms of the issue. Although the final decision belongs to the
issuer, the influence of the underwriter, who is in effect writing his own specifications, is always
present. Since the underwriter's principal business is selling bonds it is reasonable to believe that
his tilt will be toward terms which will make the issue more attractive for marketing.
The most aggressive proponents of the negotiated route, almost without exception, are not
issuers, but underwriters who contend that with negotiation the sale of the bonds is assured
whereas with a public sale it is a "shake of the dice" proposition. To borrow a Presidential
expression, "Baloney". It would be a most unique situation for an underwriter at the outset to
guarantee to purchase the bonds, much less guarantee a rate. The small print of the agreement
almost always leaves the underwriter an escape hatch. Retreat for the issuer though is difficult.
Time has usually run out for financing the project when the underwriter goes around to the
opposite side of the negotiating table from the issuer and finally turns up his card.. At that stage
the project has matured to the point that just really doesn't allow for rejection, or even any real
negotiation, of the offer - even though there may be a little haggling (for which the underwriter
has probably left room). Outright rejection isn't likely to be a viable option.
In comparison, public competitive bidding is strictly an objective at -arms -length transaction.
The best offer wins - it's that simple and that straightforward. There is a measure of the market
SPRINGSTED INCORPORATED PUBLIC FIANCE ADVISORS
800 OSBORN BUILDING SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 (612) 222-4241
by reason of multiple offers and the underwriter who is either in the best position to market the
bonds at the time, or is willing to take the greatest risk, wins. The issuer needs to make only a
simple decision - is the best bid an acceptable bid? There are no friendships at stake. As to the
shake of the dice theory, that is only a smokescreen. If an issue is marketable by one
underwriter, it is marketable by others. Exclusive marketing ability is more promotion than
reality. Potential buyers are not a secret cult, nor are they generally monogamous in their
fidelity to a specific underwriter.
Finally, no one should suppose that negotiation is less costly. It is not to be expected that an
underwriter's salesmen will make concessions in their commissions simply because a deal was
negotiated thus the distribution profit margin is very likely to be the some, if not more, because
there likely has been no pencil sharpening competition. On top of this distribution profit there
must be added the underwriter's management fee for putting the issue together which is over and
above the distribution cost.
While lots of arguments are made in favor of negotiated purchases, the bottom line must be that
it offers the underwriter, not the issuer, an almost guaranteed deal without concern for being
underbid.

Junker's Rubbish FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Hutchinson, Minn. 55350
City Council:
This is to verify the telephone calf. I made
to the clerk's office after I had viewed foFFurltimate
tim the mess left by Junker's Service people. I explained
toP;erson in charge of receiving calls that my containers
had been only partially emptied and that litter had been
strewn along the driveway.
If this were a once upon a time occurrence, I
would be reluctant to file a complaint, since I realize that
some people abuse the garbage man. But the service that we are
getting is just down—right sloppy. On occasion, my container,
when the debri did not readily empty out, the whole garbage
container was thrown on the truck. Garbage cans and paper
containers are banged against the truck during the emptying
process, thus damaging the container.
If I were a "heavy" customer, I wouldn't blame the
man for coming in like a wild man; but all the leaves and
branches I haul to the dump myself.
I know that the service would be a whole lot
friendlier if we had nothing but plastic bags. I know thk*
bags are easier to pick up. But I choose not to use plastic
bags. Plastic bags do not decay, and consequently, fill up
the garbage dump.
A check with Mr. Scholtman, our neighbor,
brought out the same com1glint I have.
I shall await your action in this matter.
Sincerely yours

Dear Sir:
We recently met with a committee for the City
of Hutchinson relative to the assessed valuations
on some apartment buildings in which I have a part-
nership interest. The date of that meeting was
May 18th. After presenting some information, we were
informed that we could again appear on June 7th to
contest the valuation given our property.
Subsequently, we have had a telephone conversa-
tion with the County Assessor who advised that a
decision was made that no change would be permitted
in the method used to appraise these properties. We
asked that the income approach to appraisal be used.
We see little purpose in appearing at the meet-
ing on the 7th if the decision is already made and
we therefore do not intend to do so. We will, of
course, appear at the hearing held by the County and
if the same position is taken there, we will request
a hearing before the State of idinnesota Tax Court.
That body has acted in our behalf previously and
directed the use of income approach in another case.
We will follow the above procedure provided we do
not lose our rights to appeal which we have been
assured we will not.
Will you please see that this letter gets into
the hands of the Chairman of the proper committee.
Yours very truly,
Chas. H. Peterson

Dear Mrs. Mercer:

In response to your attached letter of June 1, 1979, I report the following infor-
mation.
1. On Monday, June 4, I contacted Mr. Downey, Assistant Parks Director of West La-
fayette, Indiana regarding your proposed designs (A and B attached).
Their three pools were constructed in 1964, and the City is unable to provide any
construction cost estimate or a projected price estimate for replacement. The
City of Lafayette has three pools. The first pool is "T" shaped and has a ver-
tical leg of 25 meters and 6 lanes wide (dympic sized); 12 feet deep on the bot-
tdm of the "T" (diving board) to 4-1/2 feet at top. The arms of the "T" are each
36 feet horizontally wide and 46 feet vertically high; the depth is graduated
from 4-1/2 feet to 3-1/2 feet on the ends of the "T".
The second pool is called the intermediate pool and has rectangular dimensions of
30' X 60'; graduated depth from 2-1/2' to 4-1/2'.
The third pool is a wading pool of 22' in diameter.
All three pools are on the same filter system and natural gas heating system.
The heating of their pools is getting too expensive for the City, and they in-
tend to convert to solar heating. Their group of three pools opens June 1 and
closes September 4, maintaining a constant temperature of 740.
Their operating statement, I was told, states a $25,000 per year revenue (751'� per
person daily, plus season passes) versus expenditures last year of $26,000 ($12,500
utilities, maintenance and miscellaneous; $13,500 life guards and attendants).
Attendance averages 300 to 500 per day for all three pools with 700 to 800 their
peak.
Comments were that this pool was a superior design and has had no major mainten-
ance expenditures in the first 15 years. The heating system now needs to be re-
placed (estimated cost $12,000); however, they intend to solar heat the pool off
Mrs. Mike Mercer -2- June 6, 1979
the roof of the locker, shower, attendant and concession building, with the
assistance of Purdue University. Their primary recommendation was to over -size
the filter, as architects and contractors traditionally under -estimate this oper-
ational problem. West Lafayette doubled their filter and motor size before con-
struction, and it has been the most significant operational advantage. West La-
fayette is also changing from gas chlorine to bromine (Great Lakes Chemical Co.)
for cost savings.
For your information, the City of Hutchinson staff is in the process of contact-
ing Rieke, Carroll, Muller Associates to obtain a ballpark cost estimate on a
similar pool.
2. The existing heating system is very small and would not be adequate to heat a
swimming pool. I have discussed this with Ralph Neumann, Civic Arena Coordina-
tor..
The most advantageous route to explore is using the roof of the Civic Arena
(straight south exposure) for the purpose of solar heating. This concept relates
to the findings and intent of the City of Lafayette.
3. The steps for a bond issue are established in the Hutchinson City Charter. Pur-
suant to Charter, the City Attorney and Mayor have advised me that a referendum
calling for the expenditure of funds requires an official authorization through
City Council to bring the question on the ballot. The referendum question would
involve a specific dollar amount. This is why a professional cost estimate and
drawings would be advantageous prior to seeking the City Council's consideration
for such referendum.
I hope this answers your respective questions of the attached letter.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCH]NSON

Dear Mr. Simonowicz:
As per our telephone conversation of May 14, 1979, I am enclosing a list of
data the Technical Assistance and Research Service (TARS) of the League of
Minnesota Cities requests in order to complete an economic feasibility study
of the downtown redevelopment proposal in the City of Hutchinson. I quoted
a price of $1,750 to complete a cash flow analysis and bond schedule as
part of the economic feasibility of the project. An additional analysis of
the same project with an annual inflationary factor will cost $750.00 for
a total cost for service of $2,500.00.
If any of the information requested is not available, TARS can prepare this
information. In addition, TARS may verify or footnote the source of any
information required to complete this economic feasibility study. TARS
looks forward to working with C.R.S. & Associates, and the City of Hutchinson.
Feel free to direct any questions to TARS at 222-2861.
Sincerely,

*Excused absences
Because of the lack of a quorum, the secretary's and treasurer's reports will be acted on
at the next meeting. Mr. Sundberg commented that we have spent about 34% of the budget
to date which would cover approximately one-third of the year. The director's report was
presented. Mr. Sundberg stated that Rev. Grage_will be leaving Litchfield in June and
will be resigning from the CRRL Board. A special invitation was extended to all board
members to attend the open house at the Litchfield_ Library on May 17 from 2-9. Clippings
from the newspapers were passed around. This year's summer reading program theme will be
the "Greatest Ape Book Club." The statewide reciprocal borrowing agreement will go
into effect June 1.
The bills were presented for payment. Mr. Fostervold moved,_ second by Miss Swanson,
that the bills be paid. Carried.
Committee Reports:
a. City of Renville Agreement -- The city of Renville has signed the agreement and it
has been sent to all the governing bodies. Kandiyohi•County has signed both the agree-
ments with Renville and Bird Island and several other governing bodies have signed the
Renville one. Mr. Jim Jones of Renville has been appointed to the CRRL Board and will
probably begin serving in October.
b. MLA New Members Meeting in St. Cloud -- If Mrs. Hinseth attended this meeting, she
can report on it at the next Board meeting.
Communications:
a. Public Library Newsletter --this was passed around.
b. Mr. Asp has reported to Mr. Sundberg that the legislature has taken positive action
on continuing state aid toward public libraries and we should receive about $12,000 more
next year than we received in 1979.
Unfinished Business:
a. Teleconferencing -- Mrs. Matson has talked with the Kandiyohi County attorney and he
did not encourage the board to attempt teleconferencing in order to obtain a quorum
because of the danger .of violating the open meeting law. OPLIC has indicated that a numbe
of systems and organizations use teleconferencing. However, in view of our County
Attorney's position, the matter was tabled. If at anytime the board went into this,
it should be written into the bylaws.
b. Time of meetings -- the question of starting the meeting half an hour later
was discussed. It will be put on the agenda for the next board meeting, which will
be in Willmar.
c. The Hutchinson Library will be holding an open house on June 24 to celebrate their
75th anniversary.
New Business:'
a. Consideration of provision of employer -paid life insurance for CRRL employees --
Mr. Sundberg reviewed the regional or multi -county library systems who presently provide
this type of insurance. The board directed Mr. Sundberg to survey the employees about
the various options. Those interested in higher coverage could buy additional amounts
themselves.
b. Clarification of policy regarding nonresident migrants -- The fee for a nonresident
library card is $15.00, but it was felt that some of the Spanish-speaking residents of
our area taking part in the Federal Grant Program will be unable to purchase a $15.00
card. It was suggested that they be encouraged to buy a 3 -month card for $5.00. w
c. Discussion of restrictions on non-resident use -- The new statewide reciprocal,.
borrowing agreement asks us to list any restrictions on use. It was decided that $he
quarterly reports could collect statistics on use of audio-visual material and ani►.
problems would surface later. A gentleman's agreement will be in effect regardin%-,,,,
restrictions so that if other libraries are imposing restrictions, we will be free
to do so also.
d. 1980 budget -- The budget committee will meet sometime following the next board
meeting. j

On behalf of all the Legionnaires of the Third District I thank you, the City Council,
and the citizens of Hutchinson for making our recent visit to your city an enjoyable and
memorable one.
The co-operation and hospitality that was extended to us was unexcelled. Your tolerance
of our boisterous exuberance was greatly appreciated, and will be returned if the oppor-
tunity ever presents itself.
The following is a transcript of a resolution passed by the Convention:
"Now therefore be it Resolved, that the District Adjutant send a letter to the
City of Hutchinson, thanking them for the fine hospitality they have shown us
during this convention."
Yours in -comradeship,
District Adjutant
Pregnancy Rules Go
Into Effect
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been amended
(P.L. 95-555) to provide that pregnancy must re-
ceive the same treatment as any other illness
covered by a -government's fringe benefits plan.
Included here are disability insurance, sick
leave, and other forms of employee benefit pro-
grams, as well as medical plans. Deadline for
compliance was April 29, 1979.
A government has to provide these benefits
for pregnant women only if that government rou-
tinely provides them for all employees. The new
ruling also prohibits municipal employers from
terminating or refusing to hire or promote a wo-
man solely because she is pregnant. Another
significant requirement is that medical plans
covering dependents must provide maternity bene-
fits for spouses.
The ruling reverses a 1976 decision of the
Supreme Court which held that governments which
excluded pregnancy related disabilities from
coverage were not discriminating on the basis of
sex.
All risk managers who handle employee bene-
fit programs should explore the effects of this
legislation on their programs. A copy of the
amendments and questions and answers issued by
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were
printed in the Federal Register (March 9, 1979
and April 20,1979 and are available upon re-
quest. Write to National Archives and Record
Service, Office of the Federal Register, Wash-
ington, DC 20408. You will be billed a nominal
fee for the Register or page copies.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Flood Coverage Available
Flood devastation hit the news this spring
and with it reminder of the low cost National
Flood Insurance Program. This federal program
is available to all incorporated communities.
Unincorporated areas may be able to join the
program if their county intervenes in their
behalf.
Coverage is as low as 25� per $100 for
residential areas and as low as 40t per $100
for municipal buildings.
To acquire the insurance, the government
must pass a "flood plan management program"
(ordinance) which includes a building permit
system for construction in flood hazard areas.
All licensed agents, that write property and
casualty, are allowed to offer this insurance.
For more information, call The National
Flood Insurance Program, Toll Free 800-
424-6572.
