R YOt1R INFORMATION /c4 fr 1.0 .
FO y. 3 6M
Statement of City Council relative to some of the questions asked about
the special election for on -sale liquor licenses to be held on May 8, 1973.
1. We have no intention of discontinuing or phasing out the present off -
sale store owned and operated by the City. While some have asked
about the phrasing of the question, competent legal advice drew the
question and there is no doubt that the City will continue the off -
sale store regardless of the outcome of this election.
2. If the people of the City were to approve the issuance of on -sale
licenses, it is the firm promise of this Council that no issuance will
be made unless, in the collective opinion of this Council, such issu-
ance would help create a positive, significant additional asset to the
City and its people. Any successful applicant would have to demonstrate
satisfaction of at least these MINIMUM requirements;
a. Applicant must have a restaurant capable of seating and serving
at least 85 people in the principle dining room.
b. Additional meeting rooms, with adjustable walls, or a banquet room,
would probably be in the design.
c. The place of business will be within a commercial zone suitable
to any of the activities normally expected in such a business.
d. The restaurant will have a completely equipped kitchen capable
of preparing any and all types of complete meals during the
hours of operation.
e. The operator will make provision for off-street parking on sur-
faced parking area in at least a ratio of one space for each
three people in the seating capacity.
f. Each applicant will pay a $50 fee to cover the cost of a most
detailed and extensive investigation of the applicant through
all credit, police, commercial and other agencies which can
comment on the past activities of the applicant which would
bear on the applicant's fitness to hold a license.
g. If after investigation the applicant satisfies the Council as to
probity, capability and willingness to meet or -exceed the standards
demanded, the Council may, upon payment of a license fee to be not
less than $2,000 per year, approve a license to sell liquor by the
drink to'the applicant.
h. Prior to the approval of any such license, the Council will draw
and adopt an ordinance for the governance and regulation of the
business of on -sale liquor dispensing.
In summary, this Council believes that authority to approve licenses for
the on -sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors -is a heavy responsibility.
Such approval should not be made unless that approval has demonstrable
benefits accruing to the City. There is no mandate to approve licenses as
favors or just to get them issued. This authority is a tool which must be
used discriminately to foster and improve the general well-being and best
interests of the City and community.

Milton D. Schantzen
City Attorney
Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350
Dear Sir:
The undersigned previously crude an offer to purchase the two old houses
South of Albrecht. Oil Co. on Third Avenue S. E.. The purpose of this purchase
WEIS to provide additional parking for our business located on the corner of
Third Avenue Southeast and Jefferson Street. You will recall that the City
previously denied the request of expansion of our facility because of lack of
park: ng.
Now we understand that the City, by some community development program, intends
to submi+ a nigher bid on this property for the purpose of constructing some type
of low-income housing. Will you please explain to us the following:
1. When a private developer wishes to invest his own money to develop
property, wha, right does the City have to raise the price of the property in
an a-..empt .o buy it? It would seem that if the purpose behind this is to improve
the property, it would be better to have private money accomplish this purpose then
to use tax money, be it federal, state or city.
2. Does the zoning ordinance permit residential construction in this area
which w,: und::r::tand is presently zoned commercially.
3. Is it the City's intention to use a government subsidized program to
compete w*_th private developers in the City of Hutchinson?
We would appreciate your bringing this to the attention of the City Council
and acknowledge the City's legal and political position in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Madsen -Peterson Company

Chairperson Bea Thompson called the meeting to order. The minutes were approved and
filed. Mr. Hoese moved, second by Mrs. Reckdahl, that the treasurer's report be
accepted and filed. Motion carried.
The librarian's report was presented. Re -registration of all customers at headquarters
began in August. Materials regarding legislators and lobbying was presented to each
board member. "A Time for Art" will be presented on Channel 6 on Wednesdays and is
co-sponsored by CRRL, Willmar Video, Kandiyohi County Arts Group, and Minnesota
Cable Communications Board. An inspector from the Library of Congress was here
regarding the publications from the government printing office. We apparently
rated ok.
Mr. Fostervold moved, second by Mrs. Reckdahl, that the bills be paid. Motion carried.
COMMUNICATIONS:
a. 1975 statistical information for all Minnesota libraries has now been published
in "Minnesota Libraries." CRRL has a copy of this publication.
b. Mr. Sundberg had received notice from Al Lewis at OPLIC that they were not
successful in setting up a meeting with the Renville County Commissioners, etc.
The Board felt we should wait to be approached by Renville County and then we
would be willing to discuss their possibility of joining CRRL. Mr. Sundberg
had in the past been given names of interested persons in Renville County. The
board suggested that this list be sent to Mr. Lewis for possible contact.
c. Public Library Newsletter was reviewed by board members.
d. A thank you letter from Rev. Gardner was read.
NEW BUSINESS:
a. MLA Conference will be at Radisson South in Minneapolis on October 6-8. Mrs. Matson
and Mr. Swalboski will attend all three days. Mr. Sundberg may attend the first two
days. Mr. Hoese moved, second by Mr. Sanders, that any librarian, staff members,
and trustees be authorized to attend the MLA meetings with,expenses paid. Motion
carried.
S 1.
b. An in-depth workshop for branch librarians which could be co-sponsored by two
other regional libraries and staff of St. Cloud State University was discussed.
A possibility of having a workshop for trustees was also discussed. If such a
workshop were held it would give the branch librarian attending one college
credit. Consideration is being given to a two-day workshop to be held next April
o: early May. It was felt the branch librarians should be encouraged to go with
the possibility of their expenses being paid. Mr. Sundberg will bring more in-
formation on these tentative plans at a later date.
Discussion was held on a policy for displays within the library, especially with
regard to citizen participation. The possibility of a community bulletin board
in the foyer with a sign indicating that this is not a "library -sponsored display"
COLId be used. Mr. Sundberg and the staff will draw up a recommendation for a
policy and bring it to a later meeting. He will also contact other public build-
ings and see what their policy is.
r cent U.S. Supreme Court decision states that the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act can't be applied to state and local government employees.
Asaresult, Libraries are
rasponsihle to the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act providing a minimum wage
:)f '2.10 per hour for workers 18 years of age and older. Our current rate is
12.2.0. It was recommended that we maintain the $2.20 through 1977. Mr. Sanders
moved, second by Mr. Bergstrom that we leave the $2.20 per hour for all student
c•.,-jrkers through 1977. Motion carried.
Mileage reports for board members will be given out at each meeting:
i. Tne "Draft of Operating Guidelines for State Library Grants, FY 1977" was dis-
t:i.but_d to members. The guidelines seem to present no serious problem for CRRL
as we currently meet most of the requirements. The final decision.on these Guide-
lines will be made by the Department of Education and approved by the State
Attorney General's Office.
?I—ting adjourned.
