May 8, 1969
To: The Honorable Council
From: Administrative Assistant
Subject: Clerical Personnel
Gentlemen:
We have interviewed several people for the position of part time typist
and secretary as authorized by the Council on April 14, 1949. After
discussion with the City Clerk and City Engineer, we believe that we
would effect greater efficiency and greater volume of work accomplished
if we pooled the budgeted amounts for part time clerical help and
established a full time position.
The City Clerk's office had budgeted $1,000, the Engineer's office $500.
We would have contemplated an additional 1,200 hours of part time work
from this person at a cost of about $1.80 per hour or $2,160. Together
these sums total $3,660. I think that our appropriation.for contingencies
will allow for this additional expense through the fiscal year.
It is apparent that the work load more than justifies this additional help.
If the Council agrees with this recommendation, I would recommend appoint-
ment of Mrs. Jean Lerberg, a resident of Hutchinson and well recommended
by previous employers. Her most recent employer was UNIVAC, Roseville,
Minnesota, as secretary to Dr. Arnold Cohen, Phd. Mrs. Lerberg seems
most completely to fit the needs and demands of the job.
Respectfully submitted,

OFFICES AT 37 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST
May 7, 1969
To: The Honorable Council
From: Administrative Assistant
Subject: Restoration of Second Avenue, First Avenue, and Washington Avenue
one block east and west of Main Street.
Gentlemen:
Review of the damage by Engineer Marlow Priebe and Superintendent
Harry Otto and myself brought us to the following conclusions.
1. Our initial thought of restoration of the center 30 feet will
cost about $12,000. Unfortunately, by the time we,go through
the proper procedures of drawing plans and spec's and calling
bids the probability that qualified contractors will not be
available.
2-. The condition of the.entire road surface on Second Avenue and
Washington Avenue is such that we would recommend that the
entire width of the road surface be replaced as well as the
curb and gutter and much of the broken sidewalk surface. There
is the concrete base beneath the broken blacktop wear course,
which base could remain and be topped with four inches of asphalt
material.
3. Because of the magnitude and the improbability of securing a
contractor for this year, and the pressing need to finish plans
and specs for this year's petitioned improvement program in
order to insure completion this summer for that program, we
recommend that the Council order temporary patching for these
streets this summer and budget and plan €or'the total job in
the summer of 1970.
I would believe that this improvement would properly be assessed
to abutting property owners so that our budgeted costs need only be for
costs to abutting City properties.
Respectfully submitted,

Proposals to replace temporary dikes for flood control with perma-
nent establishment seem to have met with general agreement as to the
wisdom of this course. I sat with the City Engineer, Park Superintendent,
and Street Superintendent to determine the City's cost to accomphilh
that job.
It was the concensus that the job should be divided into five segments,
and the various segments accomplished though the summer. Mr. Priebe can
show the various divisions of they job, and by using a map, explain the
priority system more effectively at the council meeting than can be dome
by letter.
The total costs, over and above presently contemplated program costs,
break down in about these totals:
Four laborers and two truck drivers temp. (Total ten man weeks) $3,150
Equipment rental (Mainly bulldozer) about two weeks (12 days) 2,000
Concrete revetment NE of dam 1,500
Three culverts 600
Storm Sewer extensions and catch basin installation 2,000
Fill and cover material 1,000
Grass seed 800
Total $1.1,050
This project was not cont(.!pl.ated in our current budget and no pro-
vision has been made to fund it. However, we have asked and hope to
receive $14,000 of OEP funis Lo reimburse the City for damage incurred
and preventive effort sustained during the spring flood threat just past.
This money should adequately refund the contingency appropriation to
which we charged our flood r-)ntrol expenses.
Since we charged a lar4e part of the total flood control expense to
that appropriation in the last 'iscal year, there will probably be enough
monies in that appropriation to fund this permanent diking project even
if we are denied reimbursement for flood damaged and expenses.
Understandably, our position relative to emergencies arising later
during the year will be tenuous if we don't receive the OEP funds in
approximately the amount asked. We have, however, every reason to
believe that we will receive those monies.
Under the circumstances, I would recommend that the Council authorize
the establishment of permanent dikes as proposed and fund the project
from the contingency appropriation for this fiscal year.

To: The Honorable Council
From: Administrative Assigtant
Subject: Your request re: additional hours at liquor store.
Gentlemen:
I took up the matter of additional hours of operation at the Municipal
Liquor Store with Mr. Gerald Fischer, manager. We think it is entirely
feasible to add one half hour of operation each night to the store hours.
Mr. Fischer would prefer a scheduled closing hour of 9:30 P. M. on
FridaypySaturdays, and holiday eves because that will give him some
leeway on effecting a definite closing well before the statutory hour
of closing, 10:00 P. M.
Adding these hours will cause some revision of work hours. Since Chet
most practical time for cleaning, restocking and some deliveries is the
early morning hours, it would be impractical to amend starting times.
Our estimate is that it will cost about $75 additional per month to
inaugurate the additional hours of operation. We believe, however, that
increased volume will probably make up this cost. It is most probable
that through the summer, particularly, the additional hours will be
justified by increased volume.
Respectfully submitted,
4- /-

Re: Water Treatment Plant
Additional Work by
Shank Plumbing and Heating
Gentlemen:
Attached is a letter and plan for a support bracker that has been
installed on the new discharge line between the Resevoir and
building. This support bracket is needed due to the soil con-
ditions under the pipe.
The cost is $454.00. I recommend payment of $400.00 at this
time and the balance to be paid subsequent to the contractor
completing his clean-up. This is a direct cost with the plant
addition made in 1968 and should be paid from sinking fund 6.
