I feel that any otherassessment is not fair or justifiable for several reasons. In 1961 the City of 'hztc�-,'nson needed additional property to rebuild Lake Street between =iecond and Lewis Ave. We were asked to donate the land they need for that Purpose. It was all taken from our property and none from across the street to the esst. We gave this with out cost to the city but with the -nderstanding that there would be no assessment forstreet, curb, sewer or water at that time or in the future. It is unfortunaire that the agreement apparently was only verbal. Secondly, I was never advised that there had been an assessment placed on this -ro-erty in 1960 as stated in the City Clerks Letter of Yzy. 25, 1P71. Incidently I think you will find that the sewer was laid in 1Q61 not 19h0. Then too, it has been brouEht to my attenion by legal advice that a municipality cannot begally collect a second time for sewer, water, street or similar proiects. You are aware, I am sure, that this sanitary sewer and water project was raid for by `)chool District #423 at least as far as the area ortside of the city limits of Hutchinson was concerned. The T:rorerty described above was st thQt title rart of the rural area.

A brief reconnaissance report was prepared in accordance with ER 1165-2-12. Preparation of a detailed project report was authorized by OCE on 21 Feb- ruary 1966, Problems and Solutions under Consideration: Inadequate channel :apa- ci.ty of the South Fork of the Crow River causes flooding at Hutchinson, Minn. Improvements under consideration include channel enlargement with and without levee embankment- Recent planning with city officials lndi- :.ates a possibility of development of a cooperative plan of improvement teat would include utilizing a portion of street raise as a levee section. 3. Present Schedule: Date of Subm3 ssi.on Scheduled Actual By District Engineer 2 Apr 71 By Division Engineer 10 May 71 4; Progress to Date: Preliminary hydrologic studies have been completed. Topography on a recently constructed railroad spur along the west bank of the South Fork of the Crow River below the Burlington Northern Railway has been obtained. The new spur and other planned changes in land use by the city now require further consideration of a plan of improvement that would consist mainly of levees. A meeting has been held with city officials and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to discuss measures to mitigate loss from reduction in size of fish pond., Necessary design modifications have been completed. Present evaluations indicate the cost to provide an adequate degree of flood protection would be about $2 million. Study findings were submitted to NCD for review on 2 April 1971. On 18 May 1971, the Office, Chief of Engineers, concurred in the recommendation of the District Engineer that no further study of flood c3ntrol improvements for the South Fork of the Crow River at Hutchinson, Minn., be made at this time. Local interests and their congressionai representatives will be advised on this decision. 5- Interagency Coordination: The project has been coordinated with the State of Minnesota and the city of Hutchinson. -0g1 1o;�- ,AUL 1911 00 S - a5 .... - o 6..Com lot Local interests would be required to provide the necessW Issaft and rights-of-way; hold and . saw the Federal &w- ernment free from dwdess maintain the project after completion; make changes to utilities, roads, and bridges; and prevent future encroach- ment of the flood-carrying capacity of the channel. esr - " a Tel"&* a 564.3011 OMCE OF THE CITY CLERK T1 -V of 61 eclat 804 Franklin Street GLENCOE, MINNESOTA 55336 July 23, 1971 Mr. Tom Mealey City Clerk of Hutchinson City Hall Hutchinson, Minnesota Dear Tom, The Council discussed the -feasibility of Hutchinson and Glencoe employing one plumbing inspector for both municipalities.

As with all model ordinances, it should not be copied bliu-11-y but rather should be reviewed in the light of el:isting conditions within the municipality and modified where necessary. T. air. Features of the Ordinance The ordinance contemplates the inauguration of a Dutch Elm disease program, utilizing both municipal resources and those of the Division of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture. Under the Plant Pest Sontrol Act, M.S.A. 18.022 and 18.48, as amended by Laws 1965, C. 323, municipalities are authorized to levy ta_� - s and e: -pend funds for this purpose upon recommendation of the Commissioner of Agriculture. Such a program should be carried out undFr the general supervision, cf the Commissioner exercised through the Division of Plant Industry. The ordinance, therefore, requires close cooperation between the municipality and the department. The ordinance treats Dutch Elm infestations as public nuisances and provides for their abatement in a number of wa;s ranging from summary abatement to abatement under the normal special assessment procedure. Procedures for protective spraying are also included. The responsibility for administering the program is placed on a municipal forester (who may be any existing officer or employee) who performs necessary inspec- tion, testing and treatment. In this connection, municipalities may wish to combing: the provisions of this ordinance with existing nuisance ordinances or with already existing and on-going programs of street tree care and maintenance. Financing the Dutch Elm program is left quite flexible by the ordinance. The cost of removal, trimming and spraying may be assessed, in the case of street trees against abutting property owners, paid from general revenue or from special funds produced by the 2 mill tax authorized by H.S.A. 18.022 or from any combination of these sources. Technical help in setting up a Dutch Elm disease program may be obtained from the Division of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, 670 State Office Buildint-:, St. Paul. Other helpful information is contained in the League publication: ".Dutc.: Elm Disease Menances Municipalities: A Program for Prevention" available from the League office on request.

Such abatement procedures shall be carried out in accordance with current technical and expert opinions and plane as may be designated by the 8 Commissioner of Agriculture. Section 8. Procedure for Removal of Infected 'bees and Wood. Subd. 1. Whenever the forester finds with reasonable certainty that the infestation defined in Section 5 exists in any tree or wood in any public or private place in the (village) (city), he shall proceed as follows: A. If the forester finds that the danger of infestation of other elm trees is not imminent because of elm dormancy, he shall make a written report of his finding, to the council which shall proceed by (1) abating the nuisance as a public improve- ment under Minnesota Statutes Ch. 429 or (2) abating the nuisance as provided in Subd. 2 of this Section. B. If the forester -finds that danger of infestation of other elm trees is imminent, he shall notify the abutting property owner by certified mail that the nuisance will be abated within a specified time, not less than 5 days from the date of mailing of such notices The forester shall immediately report such action to t:. council, and after the expiration of the time limited by the notice he may abate the nuisance. Subd. 2. Upon receipt of the forester's report required by Subd. 1, part A, the council shall by resolution order the nuisance abated. Before action is taken on such resolution, the council shall publish notice of its intention to meet to consider taking action to abate the nuisance. This notice shall be mailed to affected property owners and published once no less than one week prior to such meeting. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting, the streets -14 - affected N affected, action proposed, the estimated cost of the abatement, and the propcsed bases of assessment, if any, of costs. At such hearing or adjournment thereof, the council shall hear property owners with reference to the scope and desirability of the proposed project. The council shall thereafter adopt a resolution confirm- ing the original resolution with such modifications as it considers desirable and provide for the doing of the work by day labor or by contract. Subd. 3. The forester shall keep a record of the costs of abatements done under this Section and shall report monthly to the (city) (village) clerk (or other appropriate officer) all work done for which assessments are to be made stating and certifying the description of the land, lots, parcels involved and the amount chargeable to each.9 Subd. L. On or before September 1 of each year the clerk shall list the total unpaid charges for each abatement against each separate lot or parcel to which they are attributable under this ordinance. The council may then spread the charges or any portion thereof against the property involved as a special assessment under Minnesota Statutes Sec. 129.101 and other pertinent statutes for certification to the county auditor and collection the following year along with current taxes.10 Section 9. Spraying Elm Trees. Subd. 1. Whenever the forester determines that any elm tree or elm wood within (city) (village) is infected with Dutch Elm fungus, he may spray all nearby high value elm trees, with an effective elm bark beetle destroying concentrate. Spraying activities authorized by this Section shall be conducted in accordance with technical and expert opinions and plans of the Commissioner of Agriculture and under the supervision of the Commissioner and his agents whenever possible. Subd. 2. The notice provisions of Section 8 apply to spraying operations , conducted under this Section. Section 10. Transporting Elm Wood Prohibited. %bd. 1. It is unlawful for any person to transport within the (city) (village) any bark -bearing elm wood without having obtained a permit from the forester.

It is unlawful for any person to prevent, delay or inter fere with t1k,forester or his agents while they are engaged in the performance of duties imposed by this ordinance. Section 12. Penalty. Any person, firm or corporation who violates Sections 11 or 12 of this ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be punished by a fine of not to exceed $100 or imprisonment for 90 days, 11 Section 13. This ordinance is effective from and after its passage and publication. 12 Adopted by the Council this day of , 19 • Attest: er Mayor Published in on the day of , 19 ______,• -6- IiOt ES: 1. This ordaining clause is specified for villages; charters should be con- sulted for variations in particular cities. 2. A policy declaration of this sort adds nothing of legal significance to an ordinance. It is useful, however, in calling the attention of the public and the courts to the underlying consideration motivating the council. 3. The exact location of the forester in the municipalityts administrative framework is a matter for determination of individual councils. In most cases, the duties of the forester could be imposed on some present municipal employee or officer, such as a street commissioner, engineer, inspector, etc., or someone already having responsibility for tree planting and maintenance programs. One of the alternatives suggested here may be used by most smaller municipalities. 4. This section is necessary to clearly authorize the expenditure of munici- pal funds for this purpose and also to make available the special financing pro- visions of the Plant Pest Control Act. See M.S.A. 18.022, Subd. 21 3, and 4. it may be broadened to include other plant pests, such as oak wilt. 5. The basis for proceeding against Dutch Elm Disease under this ordinance is that the eyistence of the disease constitutes a public nuisance. The regulations embodied in the ordinance are specifically authorized by Laws 1965, C. 323. 6. Such inspections are authorized by Laws 1965, C. 323. A "private platen is defined by that statute as "any place other than a private home". 7. It is contemplated here that the Division of Plant Industry will be able to diagnose the disease relatively quickly and report back to the municipality. It may be that the Commissioner in serious cases may wish to take action himself under M.S.A. 18.18. If this happens no further municipal action is needed since the statute provides machinery for complete action by the Commissioner anywhere in the state, on both private and public property. Some ordinances of this type give the responsible official the authority to proceed in serious cases without notice tc the property owner. There is some risk in the procedure in that the forester may not make a correct diagnosis. Hence, the ordinance requires c onfirmat ion of the disease by the Commissioner. If this summary power of abatement is desired, the following phrase may be added to Section 7, Subd. 1 and Sec. 8, Subd. 1: C. If the forester finds with reasonable certainty that immediate action is required,to prevent the spread of the disease, he may proceed to abate the nuisance forthwith. He shall report such action immediately to the (city) (village) council and to the abutting property owner (or to the owner of the property where the nuisance is located.) S. This Section is intended to insure not only that abatement procedures are adequate but that they comply with the latest technical requirements of the Com- mission. See M.S.A. 18.022. 9. This Section is designed to utilize the -"current services" section of the Local Improvement Code, M.S.A. 429.101, as amended by Laws 1965, C. 323. 10.. The council may wish to establish a policy for sharing the cost of abate- ment with the abutting owner, e.g. municipal share 50%. property owner, 50%. This would be an appropriate place for such a statement. Also, the council may feel that no assessment of costs should be made. This should be expressed in a general policy statement embodied in this or a separate ordinance. v 11. yo penalty is attached to Section 4 (making the presence of the infected tree a nixisanee) since it is probably not desirable to invoke a criminal sanction to correct a condition over which thr property owner has no control. There is ample authority in the ordinance to remove the nuisance. 12. This section states what is in effect the law for villages. The council may wish to delay the effective date for a period after publication. Also, some city charters may require a number of readings and a delay in the effective date. If the charter provides for emergency enactments where such formalities are dis- pensed with, appropriate language should be added her©.. David J. Kennedy Staff Attorney AJn 6/1/65 MINUTES FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF HUTCHINSON, AUGUST 4, 1971, 11:30 A.M. Pursuant to proper call and notice from Mayor Kost the City Council met in special session at 11:30 A.M., Wednesday, August 4th, 1971. Present were Mayor Kost, Alderman Peterson and Alderman Black. Also, present were Administrative Assistant Mealey, Superintendent Ralph Young from Hutchinson Utilities Commission and Orville Kuikken, Gas Service Division. Mr. Young presented the Commission's proposal for modification of rate schedule for natural gas. Upon questioning by members -of the Council it was determined that the Utilities Commission had not increased rates to consumers since the inception of the Natural Gas Service and that increases from Northern Natural Gas , over the same span of years, have made a rate increase adjustment necessary. Detailed explanation of the various rates and classifications satisfied the questions of the Council and Alderman Black moved that the rate adjustments be approved. Alderman Peterson seconded the motion and upon being put to vote all present voted "aye". Mayor Kost thereupon declared the motion passed. There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was declared adjourned at 11:52 A.M.

Proposals had been received from Woodmans Life and Accident Company, Blue Shield, Northwestern National Life, Travelers Insurance Company, Federated Mutual Insurance Company, Crown Life Insurance Company and two proposals from St. Paul companies, both identical through two agents. After comparison of benefits and cost, Alderman Black moved that the contract be entered into with Crown Life Insurance Company for the benefits as proposed except that hospital room and board maximum be increased to $50. per day for benefit calculations. Total benefit package to cost approximately $12.48 per single employee and $37.92 for family coverage and $3.90 per person for $2,500 medicate supplement for employees and dependents over age 65. Alderman Alrick seconded the motion and upon being put to vote all present voted "aye". There were no "Nay" votes.
