MEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Tom Montgomery
Subject. Rescind Acceptance of Utility Department Pickup Truck Quote and Accept 2"a
Lowest Quote
Date: February 1, 2000
Enclosed is a copy of the staff memo from the last Council meeting recommending
purchase of a pickup truck from O'Brien Chevrolet. However, upon ordering a pickup truck
plow for the truck, staff learned that the Chevrolet pickup truck front end is not designed to
support an 8 ft. wide plow. Consequently, staff is requesting that Council rescind the acceptance
of the O'Brien quote and take the 2'lowest bid which is from Hastings Ford. The Ford truck
can support an 8 ft. plow. The Hastings Ford quote is $207.68 more expensive than the O'Brien
quote.
PREVIOU-
S MEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Tom Montgomery
Subject: Accept Quote and Authorize Purchase -Utility Department Pickup Truck
Date: January 12, 2000
The 2000 Water Fund budget included$29,000 for the replacement of a 1990 pickup
truck plow. The following bids were received for a Heavy Duty 3/4 ton 4WD Pickup Truck:
Bidder Bid Less Trade In Sales Tax Total
O'Brien Chev. $24,750.00 $5,000.00 $1,283.75 $21,033.75

Valley GMC $30,296.00 $8,096.00 $1,443.00 $23,643.00
A plow package and bed liner will be added to the truck from separate vendors at an
estimated cost of$4,500. Council is requested to accept the low quote from O'Brien Chevrolet
and authorize purchase of the truck.

MEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Tom Montgomery
Subject: Take Home Vehicle Policy
Date: February 2, 2000
Council is requested to adopt the enclosed take home vehicle policy for the Public Works
Department. Under current practice,the Utility Superintendent, Assistant Utility Superintendent,
Utility Duty Man and Street Superintendent all take home City vehicles. These vehicles are to be
used to go directly to an after hours emergency. No personal use of these vehicles is permitted.
The Street Foreman does not take a vehicle home because he lives out of town. In recent years,
the Engineering Inspector has been taking a vehicle home to respond to street and utility
construction emergencies and/or late hour or weekend construction work.
The enclosed take home vehicle policy would confirm the existing practice,permitting
Street and Utility Department supervisors and the Utility Department Duty Man to take home
vehicles for the purpose of responding to after hours emergencies. The Engineering Inspector
would also be permitted a take home vehicle during the construction season: Personal use of
take home vehicles would continue to be prohibited. A supervisor,Duty Man or inspector must
reside within the city to be permitted io take home a vehicle.
CITY OF HASTINGS
Take Home Vehicle Policy
Adopted
The City of Hastings recognizes that the Street Superintendent, Street Foreman,Utility
Superintendent,Assistant Utility Superintendent,Utility Department Duty Man and the
Engineering Department Inspector may be required to respond to after hours emergencies or
duties. Accordingly,these supervisors, Utility Duty Man and inspector are permitted to take a
City vehicle home with them at the end of the work day,with the following restrictions to its use:
1. Personal use of take home vehicles is prohibited. The City vehicles may only be used for
City business.
2. A supervisor, Duty Man or inspector must reside within the city to be permitted to take
home a vehicle.
3. The Engineering Department Inspector will be permitted to take home a vehicle only
during the construction season, which is defined as between May 1 and October 15 of
each year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: February 3,20000
SUBJECT: July,2000 Meeting Schedules
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take action setting the following schedule for
City Council and Planning Commission meetings in July, 2000:
Monday July 3 No Meeting
Monday July 10 City Council Meeting
Monday July 17 Planning Commission Meeting
Monday July 24 City Council Meeting
Monday July 31 Planning Commission Meeting
BACKGROUND
With a normal schedule, the City Council would conduct its first meeting in July on
Monday the P. Furthermore, the 5"' Monday July 31", would result in no meeting being
conducted. While Monday July 3`d is not a Holiday, as City Hall will be open for
business, the potential exists that there will not be a quorum present. Furthermore, the
opportunity to avoid a meeting on the evening of July 3`d is something that the City
Council may appreciate, and needless to say Staff would welcome. The schedule would
remain the same for both June and August, as this change would only impact the July
schedule. Adopting of the schedule this early assures that City Council, Planning
Commission and staff can plan accordingly, and ultimately advise applicants and other
interested parties, to be certain they are well aware of the schedule far in advance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: February 3, 2000
SUBJECT: Police Chief Compensation Schedule Correction
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action setting the compensation for Police
Chief Mike McMenomy at $5,213 (three year step).
BACKGROUND
As Mayor Werner was working with Mike McMenomy on his appointment of Police
Chief, he was provided inaccurate information regarding the compensation schedule for
the Police Chief. The 2000 Police Chief position steps are as follows:
6 mos: 4785
1 Year: 4927
2 Year: 5070
3 Year: 5213
4 Year: 5355
5 Year: 5498
The salary set by the City Council was 5082. It should have been set at the three year
step of 5213. The action requested of the City Council would make the necessary
correction effective the date he became Police Chief, and avoid the current situation
which actually results in Chief McMenomy's salary being lower than that which he
would have been paid,had he remained as Captain.

Mf=LwIQJ�AIIdUM =>:°
To: Mayor Werner and City Councilmembers
From: Melanie Mesko, Administrative Assistant/City Clerk
Date: February 2, 2000
Council Action Requested*
Staff is requesting that Council order a first reading and public hearing of the attached proposed
tobacco ordinance for Tuesday, February 22,2000 at 7:00 p.m.
Background:
As Council may recall, in 1997 and 1998 Dakota County began developing a model tobacco
ordinance for cities to follow or enhance. State Statute requires a county government to control
licensing and enforcement provisions related to tobacco laws if a city or township chooses not to
adopt such an ordinance. The City's Administrative Committee developed a draft City tobacco
ordinance which was based upon the League of Minnesota Cities model tobacco ordinance. In early
1998,the value of a uniform tobacco ordinance that could be applied throughout the County similar
to the curfew ordinance of 1985 was discussed. Following that meeting, Staff met with the
Administrative Committee in April 1998,and it was determined the City would wait to proceed with
the Cityo draft until there was an opportunity to review the County's ordinance.
Both the committee and staff have had an opportunity to review the county's ordinance and tailor
the City's Tobacco Ordinance to the City's needs.
In 1998, it was decided not to charge tobacco license holders any fee because it was anticipated
the County model ordinance would be completed later in the year and then the City would adopt
a municipal tobacco ordinance and increase fees at that time to cover the expenses related to
mandatory compliance checks, background checks and the like related to the new tobacco
ordinance.
The City than decided to issue 0-month licenses in January, 1999. When the tobacco ordinance
was not completed by July,1999,staff sent out informational letters to all tobacco license holders
informing them of the status of the new code. Another letter was sent in November,1999 as an
update. Attached you will find a letter that was mailed to license holders in January, 2000
informing them of the upcoming public hearing as well as a copy of the code to be presented to
Council for adoption. At this time, I have not heard any comments or questions from our license
holders.

DEPARTMENT POLICE DE ENT MEMO
TO: MAYOR MIKE WERNER
HASTINGS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
& CITY FINANCE DIRECTOR LORI WEBSTER
FROM: CHIEF McMENOMY
DATE: 02/03/2000'
SUBJECT: OFF DUTY CONTRACTED SECURITY WORK
This memo is in regard to our previous meeting, conversations and written memo
requesting permission to again allow officers to work off duty contracted security events.
Officers would still not be able to work events where alcohol is served such as wedding
dances or receptions, but would be allowed to work off duty contracted security for
businesses around town such as McDonald's, Hardees or other places where we have
previously provided off duty security services.
I have discussed rate of pay with Finance Director Lori Webster. If the City raises its rate
from $30.00 to $35.00 per hour for off duty contracted security, this would cover the cost
of increasing officers' rate of pay from $22.50 to $27.50 per hour and part time officers' rate
of pay from $15.00 to $20.00 per hour for providing security at these private events. The
original rate of $30.00 per hour had been in place for the previous six years with no.
increases. This proposed rate increase is comparable to what other departments in our
area charge for providing off duty officers for security work.
If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

MEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Tom Montgomery
Subject: Comprehensive Plan- Sidewalk and Trail Plan
Date: February 2, 2000
Enclosed for Council approval is a sidewalk and trail plan. This sidewalk and trail plan is
an updated version of the 1986 sidewalk plan developed by the Planning Commission and
adopted by the City Council. The new sidewalk and trail plan is being presented to the Council
for approval and inclusion in the transportation chapter of the comprehensive plan.
In addition to a drawing of the proposed sidewalk and trail plan,I have included in the
Council packet a table listing revisions to the original 1986 plan. The table lists those sidewalks
that have been removed from the original plan, and sidewalks that have been added. I have also
enclosed a drawing showing the removed walks.
The sidewalk and trail plan was reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission, the
Natural Resources and Recreation Commission, and the Planning Commission. A public hearing
to receive comments on the proposed plan was also held at the January 24'Planning
Commission meeting. I have enclosed comments from the HPC's review of the plan.
COUNCIL ACTION REOUESTED
Council is requested to adopt the enclosed Sidewalk and Trail Plan.
2000 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

SIDEWALK AND TRAIL PLAN
Draft-January 20, 2000
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE 1986 SIDEWALK PLAN
REMOVED WALKS
Street From To Comments
Spring St. 2"a St. 4h St. As part of the 1999 Spring St. construction
5`" St. 10'h St. project, Council removed the proposed sidewalk
from the construction plans after complaints from
homeowners about the walk being too close to
their homes and removing trees to construct the
walk.
8'h St. Forest Maple Traffic volumes are low with little through
traffic, a walk is probably not needed.
Walnut St. 11I' St. CR 47 While a walk would connect Roadside and
Westwood parks, these neighborhoods have low
traffic volumes.
17`h St. Spring Pine This walk was proposed to serve Cooper School.
However, traffic volumes are driving the need for
a walk on 18' Street. There is an existing walk
on Spring St. connecting 17`"and 18"' Streets.
The proposed 18`h St. walk can substitute for the
1986 plan proposed 17`h St. walk.
Louis Lane Southview 150'St. This walk was proposed to connect to the existing
Dr. Pinecrest and High School access on Prairie
Street. However, there is very little traffic on
Louis Lane, and the end point at Prairie St. would
encourage students to cross 15`h St. at a bad
location.
Street From To Comments
191h St. Pine Louis Lane Low traffic volumes, little through traffic.
23rd St. Hwy 61 Cannon St. With the trail connection on 22"d St. to Hwy 61,
an additional walk on 23' St. seemed
unnecessary.
25`h St. Hwy 61 Cannon St. The proposed walk would serve only a very small
area and traffic volumes are not heavy.
Spiral Blvd Hwy 316 Millard The sidewalk plan called for construction of a
Millard Spiral Blvd Veterans trail along Spiral Boulevard. A better trail
Athletic connection would come up from Vermillion Falls
Complex Park along the Industrial Park drainage way.
Highland Dr. 15`h St. 215` St. The proposed walk would serve only a very small
215` St. Pleasant Highland area and traffic volumes are not heavy.
14`h St. Westview 14`h St. The proposed walk would serve only a very small
Ponding area and traffic volumes are not heavy.
Basin
ADDED WALKS
Street From To Comments
Eddy St. 2nd St. 5h St. Commercial area, near Downtown,pedestrian
traffic with busier streets.
101h St. Hwy 61 Ashland High volume traffic with adjacent schools and
parks.
Forest St. 91h St. 3rd St. Would provides the only north/south sidewalk
Ashland St. 3rd St. CR 942 between Vermillion St. and Pine Street.
Strategically located at the west ends of the 6`h,
7`h, and 8`h St. walks. Because Forest St. ends at
3' St., the Ashland walk would complete the
connection to CR#42.
91' St. Ashland Hwy 55 Would make a good connection around the
Roadside Park area on the north side of Hwy 55
and would help provide access to the tennis
courts.
Ashland St. 9`h St. Hwy 55 Water fountain at 9`h &Ashland (Well #7), with
tennis courts and 10' St. traffic.
11, St. CR#42 Pleasant Dr. Busy street, would provide a safe walking area
for hospital and nursing home patients.
Hwy 316 Civic Tuttle Dr. The 1986 plan called for a trail along Hwy 316,
Arena but the Three Rivers Mobile Home Park trail
negates the need for an additional trail on Hwy
316. However,pedestrian traffic from the Sunny
Acres neighborhood could be funneled on a walk
along Hwy 316 to a future traffic signal at 33'd St.
Hwy 61 33'd St. Cannon Would provide access to a signalized crossing at
33rd Street.
Future Tuttle Dr., 36' St., 31" St., River Shore Dr.,
Collector General Sieben Dr., 4' St., and Featherstone Rd.

Memo
To: Tom Montgomery, Public Works Director
From: John Grossman, HPC Staff
Date: January 19, 2000
Subject: Sidewalk Plan
The Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the draft plan at their January 18 meeting.
In general the HPC recommends that the City maintain all existing sidewalks and boulevards,
particularly in the Original Town of Hastings. Sidewalks differentiate historic neighborhoods and
towns from those built up since World War II.. The urban design, whether consciously or not, is
part of the rivertown appearance and sense of place.
The HPC requests that the City consult with the HPC when they build or replace sidewalks inside
the Historic Districts and, if adopted, Conservation Area. They are particularly interested in the
sidewalk material, location, width and retention of trees.
The HPC recommends that Council approve the sidewalks added to the plan on Forest, Eddy,
Ashland and Tenth, which are within the Historic Districts or the proposed Conservation Area.
They regret that the sidewalk on Spring was not built with the street improvement, and
recommend that sidewalks on Eddy and Ashland, as alternatives, be approved by Council.
In addition to historic considerations, residential neighborhoods within easy walking distance of
shopping districts ought to have safe pedestrian connections. People trying to walk to the
downtown area include the elderly, children and visitors to the community.
On a community-wide, the HPC encourages trail or sidewalk connections between residential
areas and parks, rivers and commercial areas.
Memo
To: Mayor Werner and City Council
From: Matthew Weiland, City Planner
Subject: Hastings 2020 Sidewalk and Trails Plan
Date: February 3, 2000
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed 2020 sidewalk and trails plan at the January
24, 2000 meeting. Sidewalks and trails are very important assets for the City. They allow and
promote safe bicycle and pedestrian traffic. They encourage people to get out and explore the
City. They create character in the older neighborhoods and they provide many recreational
opportunities. Hastings has done a good job of creating new trails in the City and creating logical
and safe confections between different landmarks in the City. New trails take advantage of
Hastings many natural amenities as well as creating safe connections between residential areas
and new commercial and institutional areas.
Several of the Commissioners stated their desire for a bike path to lead to the library. Currently
there are sidewalks on both sides of Pleasant St.,but due to the heavy traffic.on Pleasant St., most
people would not be comfortable allowing a child to ride their bike on Pleasant St. Commissioners
also expressed a desire for a trail connection through Cari Park..
The Sidewalk and Trails Plan continues to promote good trail planning in proposed future growth
areas around the City. It is important to have future trails in the plan in order to work with future
developers on incorporating these trails into future projects.
Planning Commission Recommended Action:
The Planning Commission recommended to approve the Hastings 2020 Sidewalk and
Trails Plan with the following suggestions:
1. Creating a bike path along Pleasant Street to the Library.
2. Work on creating a trail connection through Cari Park.

MEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Tom Montgomery
Subject: Authorize Engineering Consultant- General Sieben Dr. Extension Study
Date: February 3, 2000
Council is requested to authorizing contracting with a consulting engineering firm to
prepare a study comparing alternates for extending General Sieben Dr.to connect to CR#48.
The two connection alternates to be studied would be an extension of General Sieben Dr. through
the Bauer property in Nininger Township that would pass around the Vermillion River; and an
extension due south through the Wallin property that would include a bridge over the Vermillion
River.
Willard Bauer has voiced objections to the proposed extension of General Sieben Dr. that
would pass through his property. His concerns include the loss of value to his property resulting
from it being divided by a high volume road with limited access,forced development of his
property, and the potential high cost of the road construction through an area with steep slopes
and shallow bedrock. The Nininger Town Board has also expressed their opposition to any
annexation of this property.
Staff has recommended extending General Sieben Dr. through the Bauer property on the
assumption that this route would be less expensive and subject to lower long term maintenance
costs than a bridge crossing over the Vermillion River. However, a comprehensive analysis of.
the two alternate routes has never been performed. If the property owner and Nininger Township
both object to an annexation for the purpose of extending General Sieben Dr., and the City still
wishes to pursue a contested annexation, a comprehensive analysis of the alternate routes for
extending General Sieben Dr.will have to be prepared.
In the very near future, Council will be asked to approve a Wallin development
preliminary plat that will show a General Sieben Dr. extension running through the Bauer
property. If the bridge crossing alternative was shown to be the best option for connecting
General Sieben Dr. to CR#48, the Wallin preliminary plat and the City's Comprehensive Plan
should be revised to reflect this change prior to their approval.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to authorizing contracting with a consulting engineering firm to
prepare a study comparing alternates for extending General Sieben Dr. to connect to CR#48.

Memo
To: Mayor Werner and City Council
From: Matthew Weiland, City Planner
Subject: Final Plat- Valley Manor 3rd Subdivision
Date: February 3rd, 2000
CC: Paul Lawrence
Paul Lawrence has made application and requested final plat approval for Valley Manor 3'
Subdivision. This subdivision includes 2.4 acres of property located southeast of the intersection
of the South Frontage Rd and Bahls Dr. A site location map is included in this memo. The
applicant has already received preliminary plat and site plan approval for this property from the
Planning Commission and City Council. The applicant is proposing to build a 17,400 gross sq ft
office building on Lot 2, Block 1 of this subdivision.
Included with this memo are the following: Final Plat, Application form, and a Site Location
Map.
Background Information:
1. Comprehensive Plan Designation: The subject property is guided Office in the
Comprehensive Plan. The office development is a consistent and permitted use
for this land use designation.
2. Zoning: The property is currently zoned Office. This zoning classification is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development
would be a permitted use in this district.
3. Existing Conditions: The property is currently undeveloped and is platted as Lot
1, Block 1,Valley Manor 2"d Subdivision.
4. Proposed Conditions: The applicant is proposing to construct a 17,400 sq ft office
building on the property and replat it into two lots as Valley Manor 3`d
subdivision.
5. Adjacent Land Uses: The proposed development is surrounded by 3 undeveloped
parcels. The property to the east is zoned office and the property to the south is
Page 2 ,
December 10, 1999
zoned for high density residential. There are existing condos and apartments
further south of this project. There is also and existing restaurant to the west of
this project.
Final Approval
Subdivision Ordinance Requirements: The submittal provided for the valley Manor 3`d
Subdivision meets subdivision ordinance requirements for a final plat submittal and is consistent
with the approved preliminary plat. The applicant is currently proposing to plat two lots.
1. Infrastructure: Development of the property will not involve the new construction
of public roads. The site will be served by the South Frontage Rd.
2. Site Grading & Storm Water Management: The applicant will be grading the areas
for the parking lots and the office building. The grading of the site will cause the
applicant to disturb land outside the boundaries of his property. The applicant
must provide documentation that he has permission to do this. The Developer is
currently proposing to drain the parking lots into catch basins the will connect to
existing stormwater sewers in the area. This storm water system has been
approved by the Public Works Director.
3. Public Land Dedication/Sidewalk Trails: The Park land dedication was satisfied
for this development through previous plats of the property.
4. Interceptor Sewer Fee: The applicant shall pay$4,320.00 in sewer interceptor
fees,prior to the City releasing the plat hardshells. This fee is based on 2.4 acres
of land being developed at 6 interceptor sewer charges ($300.00)per acre. The
applicant shall receive a reduction in interceptor sewer charges fees, for
interceptor sewer fees already paid on the property.
Summary: The proposed office development is well deigned and will enhance the vacant area
located off of the South Frontage Rd. The project will be a good buffer between the
condos/apartments to the south of the project and HWY 55. The landscaping on the site will also
break up the vacant field currently in the area.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Valley Manor 3rd subdivision at
their 1/24/00 Planning Commission Meeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Werner and City Council
FROM: Matt Weiland, City Planner
DATE: 2/3/00
SUBJECT: Request to vacate part of Locust St- Order Public Hearing
Dave Carroll has submitted an application and a petition to the City Of Hastings requesting the
vacation of a portion of Locust St south of 4'i' St. E (Site Location Map enclosed). The vacated
property is legally described as follows:
The east 33 ft of the platted Locust St Right Of Way located adjacent to Lot 4,
Block 14, Barker's Addition
He is requesting this vacation for many reasons. The main reason is that the road has always
been an unimproved city street and he would like to add this property to his property for future
site development. He has been maintaining this property for many years. This request for a street
vacation first came before the City Council back in April, 1999. There were concerns raised at
that time about this street being used as a future public access for Lake Isabel. The item was
tabled at that time to allow for a study being done on Lake Isabel to be completed. That study has
now been completed. I would recommend the City Council order a new public hearing to discuss
this street vacation to be held on February 22ad, 2000. If the City Council vacates this street, the
applicant should be responsible for all recording fees required by Dakota County.
Planning Comments:
Every property owner in the city has a right to petition the city to vacate street r.o.w. property.
However, the City is not obligated to vacate street property. This property has always been
unimproved. It is a slope that runs down to the flood plain. The applicant would like to maintain
this property and possibly put a home on the property. The property owner is aware of the
shoreland and flood plain rules in this area and will have to meet these rules in order to put a
home in here. Future access to Lake Isabel could still be accommodated in the western X
the Locust St. R.O.W. . =_

TO: The Honorable Mayor& Council
FR: John Grossman, Industrial Park
RE: Public hearing and action on application to Minnesota Investment Fund
Diversified Manufacturing has proposed to build an 82,000 sq.ft. manufacturing
building in the Hastings Industrial Park if the City will provide the land, and apply
to the Minnesota Investment Fund for a loan on their behalf. Council gave the
proposal preliminary concept approval on December 20, 1999.
The Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) provides
Minnesota Investment Funds to the City; the City in turn lends them to the
business. The business must meet the criteria of the Department in order to qualify
for the loan. Leonard P. Kirscht has been hired by the City to package the
application and to review the financials of Diversified Manufacturing Corporation.
Diversified Manufacturing has not been able to provide the necessary information
to Mr. Kirscht by this date. Not having time for an adequate review, and not
having information necessary for the application, he is not able to report at the
meeting of February 7, 1999.
RECOMMENDATION
Table action on the Minnesota Investment Fund application. Staff will ask Council
to order another public hearing when Diversified provides the information to the
consultant.

designation.
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish: The Parish was notified and was present at the Preservation
Commission meetings. The Parish has adopted a position opposing the designation of both
properties. Copies of the position paper and cover letter are attached.
Preservation Commission: Last year the Preservation Commission contracted a survey of
properties outside of historic districts which met the criteria for designation. These survey and
inventory forms used to document the historic and architectural significance of each property are
attached for your information. The minutes of the December 1999 meeting at which the
Commission considered the recommendation are attached. The Commission found that the
church and school met the criteria of historic significance, location, condition, integrity and
potential for use considered necessary for local designation.
Planning Commission: The Planning Commission makes a recommendation to City Council as
to the effect of the designation on the comprehensive plan or any planning consideration which
may be considered relevant. The Commission found that there are no zoning or comprehensive
plan issues incompatible with the designation of these properties as Heritage Preservation Sites.
See attachment.
State Historic Preservation Office: The SHPO makes a recommendation to City Council on all
the properties considered for designation. They recommended that both the Church and School
were appropriate candidates for local designation(attached letter September 7 ).
National Register: To explore the possible use of Federal Historic Tax Credits for remodeling
the church and school for senior residences, staff asked the SHPO to give an opinion on whether
they met the criteria for the National Register. Their answer was that they did not (letter August
6v'). An effort to include the properties in a National Register Historic District was discouraged
(letter October Th). The State Historic Preservation Officer, Britta Bloomberg, observed that the
church and school do contribute to the historic fabric of the community and they are worth
preserving. The National Register, of course has a higher standard of significance and integrity
than local designation.
Sale and redevelopment considerations. The Preservation Commission is following the
Parish's efforts to sell the property. They believe that the Parish Council will do everything it can
to preserve the church. They acknowledge that designation may raise concerns with potential
developers.
However,they believe that this is the best time for designation for the following reasons:
• Once the Parish sells the property, they no longer control what happens to the buildings,
regardless of what the original plan may have been.
• It is better to take the public position that the buildings are important to the community
now, than to surprise a developer with designation after the purchase.
• Once designated, a developer can ask the HPC specific questions about changes to the
property. This actually reduces the uncertainty, while the existing situation, with this
recommendation on the table, creates uncertainty.
• The HPC understands that reuse is necessary for preservation.
Recommendation: (1) Motion to designate the former Guardian Angels church building, lots 1 &
2, Block 30, Town of Hastings, excepting the rectory, based on the findings of the HPC and the
local designation nomination form and to record the designation on the title.
(2) Motion to designate the former Guardian Angels school building, lots 3 &4 and adjacent
vacated alley, Block 30, Town of Hastings, based on the findings of the HPC and the local
designation nomination form and to record the designation on the title.

Enclosed please find the position paper St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish will come with to
the City Council Chamber on February 7, 2000 regarding the proposal of the Heritage
Preservation Commission to designation of Guardian Angels School building as well as
the Guardian Angels Church building as historical sites.
The church building is located on lots 1 and 2 of Block 30, Original Town of Hastings,
and the Guardian Angels school building is located primarily on lots 3 and 4 of Block 30,
Original Town of Hastings.
The parish of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is opposed to such designation as it will limit our
ability to dispose of the Guardian Angels block.
Sincerely,

POSITION PAPER OF ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON PARISH
The Pastoral Council's position is to sell the property at the highest price while
preserving the Church and other buildings to the highest degree. The Council will
reserve the right to refuse any and all offers. The selling process will require that all
offers will be acompanied by a detailed statement describing the buyers intended use.
The council feels that the HPC designation of the proerty will limit the number of buyers
and thus limit the Parish's ability to obtain the highest price. Based on these factors,the
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Pastoral Council requests that the property not be desiganted as
a Historical Site.

Description
Guardian Angels is situated at the northeast corner of E. 4th and Ramsey streets on a block
occupied solely by buildings associated with the former Guardian Angels parish. It is at the
heart of one of Hastings' earliest residential areas, midway between Vermillion Street and the
Soo Line railroad tracks.
The original 40' X 100' gable-roofed building was constructed of random-laid, buff-colored
limestone rubble. Comer quoins, sills, and lintels are smooth-finished. A square tower
contains the entry and a blind round-arched window. The entry is framed by quoins and
surmounted by a stone pediment and cross. The original tower was surmounted by an
octagonal belfry with round-arched openings. A slender wooden steeple rose from the
belfry. (Another stone octagon was laid on top of this one in 1871 when a new steeple was
erected; it was removed before the present copper spire was erected in the early 1950s).
The slender rectangular windows on the east elevation contain leaded glazing of recent date.
The west elevation has been nearly covered over by additions. A shallow apse projects from
the south elevation. The exterior of the apse has limestone rubble construction like the other
See the Bird's Eye View of Hastings (1867)for a view of the early church.
Hastings Heritage Preservation Commission Local Designation Project 1998-1999 28
elevations, but the rough quoins are not smooth and square-cut like the others. A one-story
addition is attached to the west elevation of the apse.
Wooden brackets under the shallow eaves of the roof appear to be replicas of those originally
installed on the building.
The historic church has had several twentieth-century additions. As noted above, the west
elevation has a one story addition; the rear (south) elevation is partially covered by a one-
story addition. At the E. 4th Street elevation, there is a one-story shed-roofed limestone
addition which obscures a portion of the facade. This addition, linking to a two-story modern
frame building, was designed by Dick Fuchs and completed in 1987.
Despite these alterations, at the south and east elevations, the building retains much of its
historic character, and the building exterior appears to be in good condition. As noted in the
Significance section, interior remodelings have been extensive. The interior has had a number
of remodelings over the past 135 years is not described in this nomination.
Significance
Guardian Angels is significant as one of the earliest churches in Hastings, and is also among
the earliest remaining in Dakota and surrounding counties. It is also significant as an
important center of the mid-nineteenth century Irish-American community in Hastings.
Guardian Angels and Early Hastings
The Diocese of St. Paul was created in Minnesota Territory in 1850 by Pope Pius IXth. By
1855, it included St. Paul, Mendota, St. Anthony, Stillwater, Marine, Taylor's Falls, Hastings
and point Douglas,Wabasha,Faribault. The first Catholic service held in what is now Hastings
was celebrated by Rev. Augustine Ravoux in 1853. The Buckhorn Hotel, located on E. 2nd
and Vermillion where the Mississippi Belle now stands,was the site of the service.Ravoux, a
native of France, was then at St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Mendota.
While many of Hastings' earliest settlers were New England Protestants, the presence of some
French Canadians and the arrival of Irish immigrants encouraged the creation of a permanent
parish. German immigration, which increased after the Civil War, also contributed to the need
for a parish.
In 1855, Bishop Cretin of the St. Paul Archdiocese appointed Rev. John McMahon, a native
of Ireland, as Hastings' first resident pastor. In 1856, a 30' x 50' frame church was erected to
the west of the present building. The American Catholic Directory reported that the Catholic
population for three miles around numbered about 350.x' In 1857, the parish received a deed
for Block 30 of the Original Town of Hastings, the block bounded by Ramsey, Sibley, 4th
and 5th streets. It was a gift from the proprietors of the townsite,including Henry and Alexis
Bailly.
At this time, the Diocese included St. Paul's Catholic Church at St. Paul, established in 1841
and serving a population of about 1,500, including French Canadians, Irish, and some
Germans. A number of the first frame or stone churches in the Diocese were newly built, but
log churches were in use at a number of locations, including Little Canada and Wabasha. It
appears that Guardian Angels was approximately number twelve of those erected in the
Diocese by 1857.30

In 1857, the Hastings congregation began a-new church—described as "pretentious"—on
the same block, facing Ramsey Street. It was erected to a height of about 15 feet but
abandoned during the financial panic of that year.
Planning for another church began with the third priest to serve Guardian Angels. Rev.
Francis Hurth, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, arrived in 1861. A cornerstone was laid in 1865,
and the building completed in 1869." Hurth remained at Guardian Angels until 1868 when
he returned to France.
The German Catholics formed the new parish of St. Boniface in 1869 and erected a small
frame church. It was replaced by a (now-razed) brick building in 1892.
The first school organized by Guardian Angels opened in 1869. In 1872, The Sisters of St.
Joseph of Carondelet opened a boarding school at 9th and Vermillion streets. A rectory was
built in 1865 next to the church and its replacement completed in 1872. This building was
razed in 1962 for a new rectory. The Guardian Angels block was known locally as "Catholic
Square."
In 1871, a new'tower was erected on the church. Constructed by Mullany and Pfeifer of
Hastings for $2,000, it reached ninety-six feet from the ground. The work included the
construction of a 25-foot stone base and an octagonal spire designed by C.B. Spencer of
Hastings.' In.the 1880s, various fresco and glass artists were commissioned for interior
decoration, including Adolph Rank of St. Paul."
:Twentieth-Century Chances... ... .... ...... ... ....._. _........: ...:.,
In 1903, the church was completely renovated, including new flooring, roof, altars, heating
and lighting, and pews. Vines were planted around the building, which remained for a
number of decades.
Another interior remodeling was completed in 1923 under Rev. C.F. McGinnis.
In 1923, the steeple was removed." A simple cross replaced it.
Another interior remodeling was completed in 1940. According to the Hastings Gazette of
June 7, 1940:
Complete rebuilding of the Guardian Angels church building was commenced . . .
with dismantling of the furnishings and wrecking of the interior of the building. Plans
are to rebuild the church in its entirety, except for the stone walls. A large force of
workmen and parishioners have been at work on the alterations."
The windows were also replaced in 1940.35 The present copper steeple and cross dates from
the early 1950s; it was in place for the church centennial observed in 1955.
An addition in 1962 accommodated 100 new seats. A remodeling in 1971 was under the
supervision of Rev. John E. Mitchel. The objective was to bring the church up to date "so
that the new liturgy proposed by the Second Vatican Council can be celebrated with the
efficiency, ease, and beauty that it deserves." Appointments in the sanctuary were designed
by Brother Placid, an artist and monk at St. John's Abbey in Collegeville.

The Guardian Angels and St. Boniface parishes were combined as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Community parish in 1997. Guardian Angels then became known as Guardian Angels
Chapel. The last service was held in 1998. The building is currently]eased to the Discovery
Church, an independent congregation.
Guardian Angels: A Nucleus of Hastings'-Irish-American Culture
Long live the memory of St. Patrick in Hastings."
Like other river towns, Hastings had good numbers of Irish in its first twenty years of
settlement. Guardian Angels was a key component of the community. In 1860, Hastings'
male labor force was one-fifth Irish. After the Civil War, the construction of the railroad drew
many Irish laborers to Hastings. Many were single men who lived in boarding houses and
eventually followed employment elsewhere. Many other laborers came with families and
worked is as skilled laborers, in mills and factories, and as general laborers. Although the
early congregation of Guardian Angels was comprised of Irish and Germans, the early
departure of Germans to form a separate parish was typical of the pattern across the state.
Only a small percentage of the Irish who arrived in America settled in Minnesota, preferring
"low-paying jobs on the eastern seaboard (with wages six times the rate in Ireland) to risky
farming farther west.";' Advertisements directed at Irish laborers were created by railroads,
including the St. Paul and Pacific. Irish farming colonies, organized by Archbishop John
Ireland, brought thousands to rural areas in southwestern and west central Minnesota.
Ramsey, Hennepin, and Dakota counties were the leading centers for nineteenth-century Irish
settlement. Scott, Rice, LeSueur, and Houston counties were among other counties with
notable numbers in the 1870s and 1880s. Mississippi River towns including Winona, Red
Wing, Lake City, and Hastings attracted laborers and skilled craftsmen.
The Northwest Chronicle , a popular weekly diocesan newspaper, reported on annual St.
Patrick's Day services held at Guardian Angels. Other events, such as that held at Music Hall
in 1884, included speakers who discussed Irish political issues. In 1884, Father McGolrick .
"arraigned the British government for the deplorable condition of Ireland, in a concise,
plausible and truthful argument."'
In Hastings the number of persons bom in Ireland waned by the turn of the century, but the
number of persons of Irish descent remained strong. Until World War II, the last names of the
majority Guardian Angels' parishioners remained testament to their Irish roots.

The two-story, hip-roofed building was designed by architects O'Meara and Hills of St.
Louis, Mo. The general contractor was McGough Brothers of St. Paul?' It is roofed in clay
tile with a prominent copper-clad ventilator. It is faced in brown brick with tapestry patterns
in the bays. Three-part windows are arranged across the elevations; a raised basement story
has fixed sash. Low brick parapets break the eave line at the side elevations. The stone trim at
the windows, entries and parapets is Mankato Travertine. The original plan provided five
classrooms on the main floor, each with a forty-five student capacity. A 45' x 75' gym, girls'

Significance
Guardian Angels is significant as the oldest remaining Catholic school building in Hastings.
The third school erected by the Guardian Angel parish, it is representative of the growth of
the congregation in the early twentieth century. The well-conserved exterior is also significant
as an example of modem school design of the 1930s.
The first parish school was opened in 1869, twelve years after the parish was organized and
just as the present Guardian Angels Church was being completed. Three years later,in 1872,
the Sisters of St. Joseph from St. Paul opened a day and boarding school for girls at 9th and
Vermillion streets. They were led by Sister Seraphine Ireland, sister of Archbishop John
Ireland. It was known as St. Boniface Convent. The sisters initially served both the Guardian
Angels and the German-speaking St. Boniface parishes. The parish of St. Boniface was
founded in 1869 by German Catholics; its school was founded in 1871. In 1899, the
German-speaking Benedictine Sisters took over the St. Boniface School. In 1970 the parish
schools of Guardian Angels and St. Boniface were combined. The parish congregations were
further combined in 1987 as St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish.
A new Guardian Angels School was completed in 1891, and a high school program was
added by 1900. The large Queen Anne style, clapboard-covered building was two stories in
height and was located at the corner of 5th and Sibley streets. Nearby, at 5th and Ramsey
streets, was the convent of St. Theresa, which housed the sisters who taught at Hastings'
Catholic schools. The school was torn down in 1935 and replaced with the present structure.
In 1934, a new school was completed at the comer of E. 4th and Sibley streets. The building
was originally one-story, and a second story was added in 1952. The building was designed
by architects O'Meara and Hills of St. Louis, Mo, and the general contractor was McGough
Brothers of St. Paul 22 Considered a very well-equipped building at the time of its
construction, it had state-of-the-art heating and ventilation systems. The Hastings Gazette
called it one of the finest buildings in the city "so far as newness and all modern details are
concerned."'3 Its original construction allowed for the efficient addition of a second floor as
needed.
Guardian Angels and Early Hastings
Guardian Angels is among the earliest parishes in Minnesota. The Diocese of St. Paul was
created in Minnesota Territory in 1850 by Pope Pius IXth. By 1855, it included the
communities of St. Paul, Mendota, St. Anthony, Stillwater, Marine, Taylor's Falls, Hastings
and Point Douglas,Wabasha, and Faribault.The first Catholic service held in what is now
Hastings was celebrated by Rev. Augustine Ravoux in 1853. The Buckhorn Hotel, located on
E. Second and Vermillion where the Mississippi Belle now stands, was the site of the service.
While many of Hastings' earliest settlers were New England Protestants, the presence of some
French Canadians and the arrival of Irish immigrants encouraged the creation of a permanent
parish. German immigration, which increased after the Civil War, also contributed to the need
for a parish.
In 1855, Bishop Cretin of the St. Paul Archdiocese appointed Rev. John McMahon, a native
of Ireland, as Hastings' first resident pastor. In 1856, a 30' x 50' frame church was erected to
the west of the present building. The American Catholic Directory reported that the Catholic
population for three miles around numbered about 350'

the west of the present building. The American Catholic Directory reported that the Catholic
population for three miles around numbered,-about 350.24
At this time, the Diocese included St. Paul's Catholic Church at St. Paul, established in 1841
andservin
ans2F a population of about 1,500, including French Canadians, Irish, and some
Germans.
In 1857, the Hastings congregation began a new church—described as "pretentious"—On
Block 30, facing Ramsey Street. It was erected to a height of about 15 feet but abandoned
during the financial panic of that year.
Planning for another church began with the third priest to serve Guardian Angels. Rev.
Francis Hurth, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, arrived in 1861. A cornerstone was laid in 1865,
and the building completed in 1869' Hurth remained at Guardian Angels until 1868 when
he returned to France. _
The German Catholics formed the new parish of St. Boniface in 1869 and erected a small
frame church. It.was replaced by a (now-razed) brick building in 1892.

HASTINGS HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Minutes of the Meeting of December 14,1999
I. Quorum: Commissioners Sovik-Siemens, Schnirring, Smith, Simacek and Thorsen present.
Chairman Thorsen called the meeting to order.
IL Minutes November 16, 1999 : Motion by Schnirring, second by Simacek to approve;motion
carried.
III. Unfinished business:
Consider recommendation of Guardian Angels church and school for designation. Fr.
Eugene McGlothlin attended the meeting as the pastor of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. He advised
the commission that the parish is still waiting for response from a non-profit housing provider
concerning purchase of the block which would include use of the church but not the school. Fr.
McGlothlin thought it was the aim of the parish to dispose of the property to someone who will
keep the church intact. The parish is considering putting the Guardian Angels block on the
market with a realtor,however, it is his feeling that the parish would not want to sell it to
someone who would demolish the church.
The Commissioners reviewed the research and designation material prepared by
Landscape Research for the church and school. The commission considered the SHPO opinion
that the church and school are not eligible for the National Register. Staff had asked for this
opinion because a potential housing developer needed historic tax credits for conversion of church
and school for elderly housing. The commission finds that the church and school are significant as
two remaining examples of the historic Catholic role in community life in Hastings. They do not
have to be significant to the state or nation to merit preservation. The SHPO made it clear they
believe the properties are eligible for local designation.
The Commissioners reviewed the ordinance criteria and found that the historic
significance, location, condition, integrity and potential for use of the church and the school are
compatible with local designation for the preservation of the sites.
Motion by Smith and second by Schnirring: Resolved that the Commission finds that the
former Guardian Angels church building located on lots 1 and 2 of Block 30, Original Town of
Hastings, is eligible for designation as an Heritage Preservation Site and therefore recommends
designation to the City Council. Motion carried, 5-0.
Motion by Sovik-Siemens and second by Smith: Resolved that the Commission finds that
the former Guardian Angels school building located primarily on lots 3 and 4 of Block 30,
Original Town of Hastings, is eligible for designation as an Heritage Preservation Site and
therefore recommends designation to City Council. Motion carried, 5-0.
IV. Adjournment. Motion by Simacek and second by Schnirring to adjourn. Motion carried.

compatibility with the neighborhood.
Planning Commission Action:
The Planning Commission found that there are no zoning or comprehensive plan issues
incompatible with the designation of these properties as Heritage Preservation Sites.

Dear John:
RE: National Register evaluation of Guardian Angels Church and School,
Hastings, Dakota County, Minnesota
Staff recently completed a review of the above properties. After evaluating the
information you submitted, it is our opinion that the church and school are not eligible for
nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The church has been remodeled
several times, each remodeling removing or obscuring more historic physical features.
These alterations have so compromised the historic physical integrity of the church that
it's ability to convey its 19"'century building or religious practices associated with the
Irish community in Hastings is irreparable.
The school,the parish's 3`d,was built in 1934 was enlarged in 1952 with the construction
of a second story. The addition of a 2°d floor in 1952 provided additional space,but the
construction, which happened less than 50 years ago,and which modified the 1930s
school design is not an alteration that can be considered of exceptional significance under
National Register guidelines. An assessment of the historical documentation reveals that
the educational activities that took place in the school are representative of parochial
education around the state,and does not constitute a historical contribution that can
substantially support nomination of the property on a historical basis.
I am returning the sheets with the current snapshots of the church and school.
Sincerely,
Susan Roth

Dear John:
It was nice to see you again last month.Thanks for suggesting a visit-to your fair city and lunch.
Susan and I couldn't have asked for a better fall day for a drive. I promised to put our observations in
writing after touring the church and surrounding area with you, and hence, my purpose in writing.
Our visit confirmed Susan's earlier assessment that neither Guardian Angels Church nor School is
individually eligible for listing on the National Register.The recent remodeling of the church is
substantial and has changed its historic character to a degree that renders it ineligible for listing. The
second floor addition to the school which dates to the 1950s is also problematic;while not
unsympathetic in a design sense,it extends the period of significance for the building into the
modem era, and making an argument for exceptional significance is not likely.
You asked us to consider whether these buildings would be considered contributing if a National
Register historic district could be established.After touring the area,we do not feel that pursuing
historic district designation will be productive. Historic districts require a high degree of continuity
among a concentration of associated historic resources to be eligible for the Register. Sandwiched
between the commercial downtown area and a residential neighborhood,the church and school are
located in a transitional area that lacks a significant concentration or continuity of unaltered
buildings required of historic districts.
These comments are not to say that the church and school do not contribute to the historic fabric of
the community nor that they are not worth preserving. They do, and they are. It does mean that other
types of economic development strategies will need to be explored if the proposed housing project is
to become a reality; federal investment tax credits will not be among the resources to be tapped in
this case.
It was encouraging to see the growing interest in historic preservation in Hastings. The list of recent
local designations, in particular, is evidence that community support is strengthening. The
commission is to be commended for its good work. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any
further questions about our assessment.
Sincerely,
Britta L. Bloomberg

encauragiwg respect for our Heritage
Dear Mayor Wenner and City Council,
We ask your continued allegiance to the integrity of our neighborhoods by voting in
favor of the nomination of the Guardian Angel block to the Local Historic Register. We
understand the historic significance is spelled out by the nomination from our local
Heritage Preservation Commission.
This local Historical Society would also like to ask you to look at the entire historic
district and imagine it without these important structures. We are responsible to future
generations in honoring and shaping the neighborhoods we leave them.
We understand the block is split into two nominations. We ask you to not split them
(that is vote for one and not the other) and honor them as one solid block of history.
Further as a volunteer group we offer our support in committee work encouraging
adaptive reuse. We would encourage this council to continue to look at the economic
development of all parts of our town while honoring the historic tapestry past generations
gifted us with. As you are well aware it is the historic nature of our community which
encourages tourism dollars and also this personality which encourages other economic
development.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: February 3,2000
SUBJECT: Computer Systems,E-Mail and Internet Usage Policy
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNICL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take action approving the action approving the
attached Computer Systems,E-Mail and Internet Usage Policy.
BACKGROUND
MIS Coordinator Steph Nomes has prepared the attached Computer Systems, E-Mail and
Internet Usage Policy, which has been reviewed several times at Department Head
meetings. With many employees now having computers and access to the internet and e-
mail capabilities, it is imperative that the City has a policy adopted governing its usage.
As this is the City's first attempt at implementing a policy of this time, future
modifications may become necessary, but Staff feels this addresses the primary concerns
and issues that may develop. Some points and highlights of the policy are as follows:
1.) No inappropriate material on the computers, through any means such as e-mail or
intemet is allowed
2.) Employees cannot use the computer for personal profit, their own business, or
religious or political causes.
3.) Incidental usage of e-mail/intemet, similar to phone usage is permissible, so long
as it does not conflict with other terms and conditions of the policy.
4.) Employees understand that the equipment and software, etc is all owned by the
City and that it can and will be monitored at any time, which includes the right to
yacs, destroy, co or alter at the discretion of the City.

CITY OF HASTINGS
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
POLICY: COMPUTER SYSTEMS, E-MAIL AND INTERNET USAGE
PURPOSE
The nature of electronic media, including computer systems, the Internet, e-mail, etc., is
constantly changing. Because of this rapid and continuous evolution, this policy cannot
lay down rules to cover every possible situation regarding electronic media. Instead, its
purpose is to express the City's philosophy and set forth general principles to be applied
to the use of electronic media on City equipment.
This policy establishes the guidelines and procedures for employee use of the City
computer systems. The City encourages and supports employee use of computer
systems and associated services, because they increase productivity, make
communication more efficient, and are a valuable source of information. However,
certain restrictions are necessary to avoid improprieties, ensure that established
standards are met, and maintain appropriate security of computerized data. The intent
of this policy is to ensure that use of the City computer systems is consistent with the
best interests of the City of Hastings.
Limited, occasional or incidental use of the Internet and e-mail (sending or receiving) for
personal, non-business purposes is understandable and acceptable, as is the case with
personal phone calls. However, employees need to demonstrate and exercise a sense
of responsibility and are expected to not abuse the privilege.
GENERAL COMPUTER POLICIES
City Ownership - These computer systems, including the hardware, software, and all data
stored on the systems, are and remain at all times the property of the City of Hastings.
The City retains the right to access, copy, alter, or destroy any of this property at its
discretion. The City also reserves the right to monitor the use of any City equipment at
any time.
Inappropriate Material - Electronic media may not be used for knowingly composing,
transmitting, receiving or storing any data or communications that are of a discriminatory
or harassing nature, derogatory or disrespectful to any individual or group, obscene or
sexually explicit, defamatory or threatening in nature, for any purpose that is illegal or
against City policy, or detrimental to the City's reputation.
Inappropriate Usage - Electronic media may not be used for personal profit, commercial
product advertisement or partisan political purposes, or for solicitation of anyone for
commercial ventures, religious or political causes.
Excessive usage - Computer services should not be used in a manner that is likely to cause
network congestion or significantly hamper the ability of other people to access and use
the system.
POLICY: COMPUTER SYSTEMS, E-MAIL AND INTERNET USAGE
Page 2
Privacy - Any information that is created, sent, received or stored in the electronic media
system, including messages, is not to be considered private information. Users should
be aware that even when a message is deleted or erased, it is still possible to recreate
the message; therefore, ultimate privacy of messages cannot be ensured. While some
data may accommodate the use of passwords for security, confidentiality cannot be
guaranteed. Messages may be reviewed by someone other than the intended recipient.
Employees must respect the confidentiality of other people's electronic communications
and may not attempt to read messages intended for others.
Passwords - Any passwords used on the City's electronic systems are for the protection of the
City of Hastings, not the individual employee. As such, they will not preclude the City, as
the owner and operator of the computer systems, from rightfully entering any data
system at any time to review, copy or delete any data or disclose any such data to
others. The City reserves the right to override passwords and codes at any time. If the
City administration requests an employee's password(s), the password(s) must be
disclosed. Disclosed passwords will be kept confidential.
Passwords should be protected against unauthorized use and should never be shared
with other users. The user is ultimately responsible for data on their computer and
messages sent via their account.
Security- Employees may not attempt to "hack" into other systems, "crack" passwords or other
users log ons, or breach computer or network security measures in any way.
Users should make certain that computers are not left logged in and unattended where
they may be viewed or accessed by any unauthorized persons.
No internal or external e-mail or other electronic communications may be sent which
attempt to hide the identity of the sender, or represent the sender as someone else or
being from another organization.
Copyrights - The City and its employees are required to abide by the federal copyright laws and
to abide by all such licensing agreements. Employees may only use software on local
area networks or on multiple machines according to the software license agreements.
These licensing agreements also include any trial and shareware applications.
Network users also shall not examine, delete, copy or modify files and/or other data
belonging to other users without that user's prior consent.
Internet Access and Electronic Mail - No employee shall be granted access to external e-mail
and the Internet without appropriate training and installation of software, including virus
checking utilities, on their computer. Employees are responsible for contacting the MIS
coordinator for installation and training. Willful or careless introduction of computer
viruses into the City's network or into any external networks or computers can cause
extensive and sometimes irreversible damage to computer data systems, and must be
carefully guarded against. Virus databases are to be kept current and operational at all
times when accessing the Internet.
POLICY: COMPUTER SYSTEMS, E-MAIL AND INTERNET USAGE
Page 3
The e-mail system is primarily intended to facilitate City work related communications.
E-mail is considered public information and should never be treated as confidential. Any
messages sent to a recipient outside the City of Hastings, either through the Internet or
other pathways, will be identified as coming from a user at the City of Hastings.
Because the user represents the City of Hastings, all such e-mail should conform to the
City electronic media policy.
Messages may not disclose any confidential or proprietary City information, "non-public
data", or "attorney-client privileged" communications or any data protected by the
Minnesota Data Practices Act. Since e-mail communications meet the State of
Minnesota definition of "records", depending on their nature, copies of such
correspondence should be kept in accordance with State statutes.
Network services and World Wide Web sites can and do monitor access and usage and
can identify which company, and often which specific user, is accessing their services.
Accessing any site leaves company identifiable electronic"tracks", even if the employee
merely views the material without downloading data or posting messages. Sophisticated
interactive Internet languages are also capable of accessing information from the source
computers that connect with their sites. Any personal use shall at no time involve access
to inappropriate sites that are obscene, disrespectful, illegal, for personal profit, or for
political or religious causes.
Connections to the Internet should never be left open by leaving desktop browsers
active when not in use, both for the sake of system security and responsible use of
system resources.
Policy Violation - Violation of any of the provisions of this policy may subject the employee to
disciplinary action as outlined in the City personnel policy up to and including dismissal .
Questions Regarding Policy - City employees who have concerns or are uncertain about
ethical, legal or security issues regarding the use of data communications tools are
expected to discuss their concerns with their supervisor, who will act as the employee's
first point of contact. The City administrator and the MIS Coordinator will resolve any
questions regarding this use policy or its interpretation. Until such issues are resolved,
questionable use should be considered "not acceptable".

Re: Proposal for Memorial Garden
Dear Mr.McNamara;
Per our recent conversation earlier this week, I have put together some of my ideas to present to you
and the parks dept. for a sitting garden along the hiking path in Hastings. Our community has some
beautiful parks without question. I am very pleased with becomming a new member of this wonderful
little city. I feel this would be a wonderful addition to our already beautiful parks and hiking trails.
My vision was to create a sitting garden along the hiking trail near the Vermillion Falls. There is
some open fields along that area that I feel would be a nice location. My thoughts were to create this
sitting garden and dedicate it to the people of our community and their families who have or have had
loved ones affected by the ravages of Cancer. The vision I had was to have this be a volunteer project
whereas people of our community would come together to create this beautiful garden. The memorial
garden would be divided into two separate areas. One would be for the memory of individuals who lost
the fight with cancer. The other section of the garden would be created to the honor the living.
This would be called the living garden. The living garden would include a water garden and rose
garden. Nater to signify Life and a hose garden with rose bushes for each individual that fought the
battle and has lived. I think this would create a peaceful area along the trail for folks to stop and rest
and reflect.
I understand this would take much planning and organizing. I have never felt so strong about an idea
in my life. Thats why I have come to you for your assistance . I am new to this community and have
not participated in something of this magnitude but I am motivated to help in anyway that I can to see
this come to fruition. Below are some of the ideas that came to mind when this first came to me in
my sleep.
I.Place a public notice in the Gazette for a town meeting for all who would be interested.
`Z.Talk to local merchants regarding donations of plants,flowers,etc. or partipa£ing in fund raising
projects; ie: donating portions of sales on garden plants towards the fund.
3.Talk to Landscapers in the community who would like to volunteer time to help organize the
desiagn and construction of the garden, or even the Dakota Co. Tech. Student to create designs and
help with plant selection .
4.Selling of memorial markers for plants to family members to put in garden to raise funding for
park.
5.Selling of rose bushes with markers for living garden.
6.Benches in garden to be made either by volunteers or constucted of recycled materials.
7.Garden would be maintained by volunteer gardeners. Special days would be announced during
different times of the year for planting etc.
$.Involvement by the American Cancer Society for dedication ceremonies .
9.®pening Day ceremony to have a special service and gathering of community and church leaders for
a blessing of the new garden.
1O.To continue each year having special days in our community to help fund this project and keep it
maintained all by the people of our town.
I think this could be something very meaningful to so many who can relate to each other in a common
bond. I believe there are many families out there just like mine who have been affected by this
dreadful disease. I lost my father in 1974 to Hodgkins and so did my husband a few short years later.
I have also seen the other side of the coin too. All the many people who are still living who with the
help of many caring individuals have won the battle against Cancer.
Thank-You for giving me this opporatunity to share my vision . I will be anxiously awaiting your
response.
With warmest regards,
Mrs.Gail A.Zimmerman

DIRECTOR
PATRICK SEM for your community and river projects.
The Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation is one of many partners working on Saint Paul's riverfront
redevelopment effort. And, like other river communities,we are challenged with keeping the
community engaged in the often-lengthy process. We see the Grand Excursion Reenactment as
a way to keep people engaged and to drive major riverfront redevelopment goals to completion by
2004. In other words, the Grand Excursion 2004 could be a major rallying point and reason to
throw a terrific party! It seems natural that other communities may decide use the Excursion
anniversary for similar purposes.
I hope you can find a few minutes to review the enclosed materials including an article about the
original Grand Excursion of 1854 and some concept ideas for forming a regional committee. I'd
like to call you back within a couple weeks to get your feedback and to possibly schedule a visit
with you and any others who may be interested. If you would like to get in touch with me, I can be
reached at the Riverfront offices at 6511293-6871 or by e-mail at char charmason.com.
Finally, we invite you to attend the Grand Excursion Workshop and Lunch on Friday, May 5`
at 11:30 a.m. following the Fillmore Conference in Saint Paul, May 3-5,2000. Participants in
this workshop will discuss the Grand Excursion 2004 and how we can move the concept forward.
Although we don't know how a regional planning initiative would ultimately drive this concept, we
think it is worth exploring together. I look forward to talking to you again soon!

15011 Anniversary of the 1854 Grand Excursion in 2004
Concept for a Regional Initiative
The year 2004 will mark the 150'anniversary of the Grand Excursion of 1854, an event that may have been
the single largest tourist and media event in pre-Civil War U.S. history and that ultimately shaped the development
of the upper Mississippi region.
Communities along the Upper Mississippi may wish to take advantage of the 150"'anniversary of the 1854
Grand Excursion in 2004 by using the occasion to celebrate the important role of the Mississippi River in our
history and to reintroduce Mississippi River communities to the region and the world.
Many preliminary ideas for the event have already surfaced including a 2004 version of the steamboat Excursion,
city celebrations, train and driving tours along the river, grand openings, historical reenactments, marketing and
public relations campaigns and much more. Some of these ideas involve the coordination of many communities,
while other components are more individual to each city.
I may be possible to plan, promote and generate enthusiasm for a Grand Excursion 2004 event on a much
grander scale by creating a regional planning initiative that would plan and promote the event jointly. Ultimately, a
regionally sponsored event could bring national attention to the Reenactment, the Upper Mississippi area and our
individual communities.
Possible Benefits to Forming a Regional Grand Excursion Committee:
Promotional Opportunities:
• Increased non-local media exposure for the event as a whole and for each community.
• More cost effective advertising and marketing.
Places Deadlines on Riverfront Renewal Projects:
• By scheduling and planning the event soon for 2004, it offers all our communities an added impetus to
complete(or start)our river projects.
Historical and Educational Significance:
• Re-awaken the interesting history and beauty of the Mississippi to the local and national community.
Connecting with Each Other:
• Working towards a defined project together may pave the way for other jointly sponsored projects and
cross-promotional efforts.
Collective Bargaining Power:
• We may be able to work more effectively by jointly seeking funding resources, compatible co-sponsors
and other resources.
Economic Impact:
• The flow of dollars into our communities may be increased by the added exposure from a larger regional
effort. Examples include increased business possibilities for restaurants, motel/hotels, retail businesses,
attractions, media organizations,job opportunities, real estate firms, business investment, etc.
Creating an Upper Mississippi Tourism Region and National Resource:
• The event could put the upper Mississippi River area "on the map"as a treasured tourism and national
resource.
