Following the invocation, itwas determined that all members of the Council were present as well as Engineer Priebe, Attorney Schantzen and Administrative Assistant Mealey. Mayor Kost called for a motion on the minutes of the regular meeting of September 27, 1971 and special meeting of October 4, 1971. Alderman Black moved that the minutes be accepted as presented. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and it was carried. Alderman Peterson then moved that the bills be approved as presented. Alderman Black seconded the motion and it was carried. (list attached) Alderman Black introduced discussion concerning parking hours for meters in the central business district. After a brief discussion Alderman Black introduced Resolution No. 4090 and moved its adoption. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and it was carried by affirmative vote of all members. RESOLUTION NO. 4090 (Text attached) Mayor Kost called for any further discussion or comment concerning the budget for fiscal year 1972 which had not come up during the work sessions. Some brief discussion followed after which Alderman Black introduced Resolution No. 4091 and moved it be adopted with the exception of the provisions for travel, conferences, and schools, which portion should be further considered and approved --at a later date.

(Text Attached REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - 2 - OCTOBER 12, 1971 A petition for street light on Peterson's Circle was received considered and referred to the Utilities Commission upon motion by Alderman Linder, second by Alderman Alrick. The subject of purchase of Lot 4, Block 43, N half City, the lot East of the Municipal Li.quor'store, which was tabled at the last regular meeting was brought under consideration. Alderman_ Black expressed himself as being against the purchase; feeling that it is unnecessary and would represent a provision for off street parking with liquor store funds. Other comments were to the effect that the space is needed to facilitate deliveries and reduce congestion with the parking facility in view of the one way alley which does not provide access to delivery area. The lively discussion was terminated with a motion by Alderman Alrick that the purchase be authorized. Motion seconded by Alderman Linder. Aldermen Peterson, Alrick and Linder voted "aye," and Alderman Black voted "nay." The motion was declared passed. At 8:00 P.M. Mayor Kost called to order public hearing to consider assessment roll No. 38 as advertised in publication no. 1382. Approximately 31 people were present. Administrative Assistant Mealey presented preliminary explanations and outlined the payment procedures. Many questions were asked concerning the interest rate and why it appears that a small minority of citizens are earring a heavy financial burden of assessments for work which benefits the rest of the community, the feeling being that some arrangement should be worked out to distribute the cost throughout the city. Mayor Kost explained that once having begun the assessment procedure to abutting property owners some years back, it is not now possible to reverse the process and place many citizens in double jeopardy by forcing them to pay twice. Strong objections presented byproperty owners on Second Avenue and Washing- ton_Avenue about the costs -of the work, and close questioning concerning the work done resulted in the Mayor calling a recess in the proceedings in order to consult with the City Engineer and Council. The recess was called at 9:32 P.M. and the meeting reconvened at 9:50 P.M. Mayor Kost then informed the assembly that it has been found by the Council that the sixty dollar cost per front foot assessed to the down town central business district abutting property owners is probably unreasonable and that the cost to property owners will be adjusted on the basis of a 40 foot street, commercial considerations to be borne by the City. It is_ estimated that this will reduce the individual charges by approximately 25 to 30 per cents and the Engineer was directed to so recalculate the assessments. L. Wick and R. Kamrath stated that it is their belief that Second Avenue between Franklin and Main is a county road and further stated that they would confirm this at the County Engineer's office. Mayor Kost declared the hearing adjourned at 10:18 P.M. after all persons so desiring had been heard. Alderman Black then introduced Resolution No. 4094 adopting assessment roll 38 as amended and moved its adoption. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and upon vote being taken all members voted "aye." REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING - 3 - OCTOBER 12, 1971 Alderman Black then introduced Resolution No. 4095 certifying assessments of the City to County Auditor and moved its adoption. Alderman Linder seconded the motion and upon vote being taken all members voted in the affirmative whereby said resolution was declared adopted. (TEXT ATTACHED) A snow removal permit application signed by Elton Lueck was considered and upon motion by Alderman Black, second by Alderman Alrick, approved. A petition signed by 14 residents in the neighborhood of the Bass Pond was received and discussed. The petition requests that"the City of Hutchinson and the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources convert the Bass Pond into a recreational park area that can be used by children and adults." After discussion of some of the possibilities, Alderman Black moved that the petition be referred to the Park and Recreation Board for recommendation. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and it was carried. Attorney Schantzen reported an offer from Duane Buske to deed the alley behind the Coke plant to the City as a thoroughfare. It was the concensus that the deed be accepted by the City. Engineer Priebe reported that he has had verbal notice of termination of employment from Assistant Engineer David Hager shortly before the meeting and that formal notice had not yet been presented. He stated that the termination date would be November 1, 1971 and that he would present the written notice as soon as it is received, and further that he would present recommendations for personnel changes in the Engineering Department. There being no further business before the council at this time, the meeting was declared adjourned at 11:09 P.M. Hutobinson Minn, oct.

Alderman Linder seconded the motion and said ordinance was declared adopted, there being no negative votes. (text attached) The recommendation of the Hospital Board for awarding bid of new ambulance was considered. After brief deliberation, Alderman Alrick moved that the bid of Miller Meteor Sales of Minneapolis in the amount of $12,180 for a new Oldsmobile Ambulance be accepted. Alderman Black seconded the motion and it was carried. At 7:45 P.M. Mayor Kost called for the opening of bids for crushed gravel as advertised in publication No. 1378. Administrative Assistant Mealey reported two bids received, opened them and found them to be as follows: McCall Road Surfacing Company Cert Check Hector, Minnesota $317.50 1.29 cu yd Stark Construction Company Cert Check Buffalo Lake, Minnesota $450.00 1.42 cu yd The bids were referred to Engineer Priebe who examined them, found them to be in order and recommended the bid be let to the low bidder. Accordingly, Alderman Linder moved that the bid be awarded to the McCall Road Surfacing Company of Hector. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and it was carried. Mayor Kost acknowledged Mr. Charles Rolando of Anderson, Helgeson Lieser and Thorson who presented a detailed report on his findings of the City•s needs for billing and accounting machine. The report was comprehensive and thorough and Mr. Rolando completed his remarks with the recommendation that the Council consider purchase of a Burroughs L5012 in lieu of a more complex machine which would be considerably more expensive and while future increase in application and programming might tend to indicate consideration of more sophisticated equipment, it would probably be more advisable to think in terms of an interim system and review the situation again in about another three years. During the discussion, it was determined that it would be desirable to see the L5012 in operation. Mr. Rolando agreed to set up a meeting to review one of several operations he knows of and to advise the Council. Alderman Black moked that the report be accepted and action deferred until the next regular meeting.
