Red Wing Service Company in the amount of $3100; even though this is the high bid, the
Board felt it was the most adequate; also, Red Wing Service Company gave two demonstrations
of their equipment which the other two bidders refused to do unless they were paid extra,
was read. Mr. Marinus was present and stated that the reason they had recommended Red
Wing Service Company was that they had given a demonstration of their equipment and the
Board was very satisfied with -it, he said Bach Music Company had refused to give a
demonstration and Hall Equipment Company would charge extra if they gave a demonstration;
he also stated that they felt this was different than other bids by the City because they
were using funds from the Jack Benny Show to pay for it. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney,
stated that it was unfortunate that the specifications did not include that the bidders
should have a demonstration, but insofar as these funds donated are concerned it is not
necessary to meet the requirements that apply to public funds. A motion was then made by
Eichten, second by Perry, that the bid of Red Wing Service Company in the amount of
$3100 be accepted and all voting in favor thereof, except Alderman Day who voted "no",
President DeVries declared the motion carried. Alderman Day stated that he voted no

"Finance Committee
of the
Common Council
Gentlemen:
As you may recall, a lot of work has been done in the area between the
Art Center and the Civic Theater as an entrance to Mayo Park and Mayo
Civic Auditorium. Last year the street improvements, including curb
and gutter, were completed, plus lawn work on all the area except that
where the greenhouse used to stand.
This year we would like to complete this project and have it graded
down, and arrangements made for the trees which will be planted the
the week of May 24th. But, we have one problem. We must get the
sidewalk and patiothat connects the ArtCenter to the Civic Theater
completed prior to the Festival of Arts.
In looking over our budget we find no special provision for financing
the installation of this walk has been made. This will cost 57#-,.per
square foot for 2,400 square feet of concrete. We ask your approval
of proceeding with this project out of our current funds, even though
it is not specifically budgeted.
Sincerely yours,
/s T. M. McDonnell, President
Board of Park Commissioners"

"Rochester Common Council
Rochester, Minnesota
Attention: Miss Elfreda Reiter
Gentlemen:
Please take notice that a claim may be asserted against the City as
a result of certain damage to the premises owned by Ethel M. Davis and
located at 1727 Eleventh Avenue Northeast, the legal description of which
is Lot Four (4), Block Two (2), Peck's Hills First Subdivision.
The soil in back of the house thereon "slipped" down the hillside and
forced the house off the foundation, and otherwise damaged the premises.
The extent of the damage has not been fully determined.
It appears that the "slippage" was caused or contributed to by water
leaking from a broken water main located under the street immediately
above the premises. This main was installed by Riverside Sand and Gravel
Co. of Rochester, in accordance with specifications prepared by Agneberg
& Sankstone, Rochester engineers, who supervised the work pursuant to the
contract with the City.
This slippage and damage to the premises has occurred within the
last 30 days, and should investigation establish that the City if res-
ponsible for this damage, a claim will be asserted therefore by the

property owner against the City.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Ethel M. Davis
/s John S. Gowan, Her Attorney"
The following letter signed by Mrs. Leslie M. Putnam was read:
"Honorable Mayor Alex P. Smekta and Members of the Common Council
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor Smekta:
As you go through life, there are many questions that arise, and you
try to seek the answers to them. There are several questions foremost
in my mind at present -for which I am in hopes that you can supply the
answers.
On April 18, 1960, there was a resolution that came before the
Common Council to vacatea 12 (twelve)foot sidewalk easement which extends
from llth Avenue Northeast west through Pecks Sixth Addition between
Lots 23 and 24; through Pecks Third Addition between Lots 8 and 9 and
Lots 30 and 31; through Pecks Second Addition between Lots 11 and 12
and Lots 33 and 34; through Pecks First Addition between Lots 11 and 12
and Lots 25 and 26; and through Carroll's Second Addition between Lots
11 and 12 Block 5, all in Olmsted County, Minnesota. On August 1, 1960
it was adopted by the Council and on August 2, 1960, it was approved by
you and your signature attached thereto.
However, this resolution was not filed and recorded in the office
of the Register of Deeds of Olmsted County, until May 12, 1965. Now,
my first question is why, was there nearly a 5 (five) year lapse in
time, before this resolution was filed and recorded?
Now to continue with several more questions:
What happened to the 12 (twelve) feet of land that was
vacated by this resolution?
Who paid the taxes on the aforementioned land after the
resolution was approved?
Why did the City of Rochester pay for 12 (tweeve) feet
of curb and gutter on llth Avenue Northeast between Lots
23 and 24 in Pecks Sixth Addition that was installed in
August and September 1964?
If you can supply the answers for these questions it would be greatly
appreciated. As you know, a good taxpayer is always interested in
where his tax dollars go, and just how the tax monies are allocated.
Thanking you in advance for your prompt reply, I remain
Sincerely,
/s Mrs. Leslie M. Putnam"
R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that he thought this could be corrected very easily, he
said all it would take would be a correction of the deeds thatwere given by the owner and
he said the amount of money the City paid for curb and gutter amounted to only about
$30.00; he said that even if the resolution had been filed in 1960 the property still
would have had to be included in the deeds given by the owner. Upon motion by Perry,
nr,,o
second by Wilson, and all present voting in favor thereof, the letter was referred to
the City Attorney to answer and the City would assume the responsibility of the $30.00
curb and gutter assessment.
The four following resolutions adopted by the Public Utility Board were
each read and upon motion by Wilson, second by Hanlon, and all present voting in favor
thereof,the same were approved:
"Be it resolved by the Public Utility Board of the City of Rochester,
Minnesota, that the amount of $201,113.26 be appropriated to the First
National Bank for the purchase of 3 3/4% U. S. Governement Bonds maturing
August 15, 1968.
Be it further resolved that these bonds be purchasedfor
Invested Funds -Electric Department Depreciation Reserve."

A letter from Naegele Sign Company, Inc. stating that after considerable
study of Ordinance No. 1296 theynote twosections which they feel will present a problem,
was read, namely the two following sections:
Section 43.071 - Permits only one sign for s Service Station or Parking
Lot not to exceed 20' in height.
I cannot see any objection to the Rochester Auto Park
sign or to the new Mobil, Standard, Texaco or Skelly
Oil Company signs.
Our recommendation would be one sign for each street
exposure with no limitation to height.
Section 43.093 - Permits display ground signs not to exceed 15' in height.
I drove around a portion of our city and found only one
sign at the rear of Donaldsons that now would qualify
under the 15'. All other signs I observed are over the 15'.
Our recommendationwould be; we have had no height
restriction all through the years so why the need now
as it would make 90% of all ground signs not conforming.
Also our National Standard billboard is 10'6" of panel
and 11" of trim, top and bottom. We recommend an 8'
minimum clearance which would require 20'4"fortop height.
In many instances even the 8' clearance may not be
enought as adjacent to a street, alley, or railroad track,
or in low areas, We recommend no height requirments.
Upon motion by Day, second by Wilson, and all present voting in favor thereof, the letter
was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

"Richard F. Kastler, P. E.
Wallace, Holland, Kastler and Schmitz
Consulting Engineers and Planners
Crossroads
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Kastler:
This is in reply to your letter of May 10, 1965, in regard to sewage
• disposal problems in Rochester Towns�nip, Olmsted County.
The Minnesota Water pollution Control Commission has not legally
establsished classification and standards for. Cascade Creek, Bear Creek
and the Zumbro River south of the Rochester Corporation. Since these
streams flow through the center of the City of Rochester, the Commission
has not looked with favor on the proposals to discharge sewage effluent
into these creeks. If classifications and standards were to be established
for these streams the quality of water to be maintained in the streams
would have to be very high since the downstream water uses on these
streams in Rochester involves recreational uses and established public
park areas. Since the flow in these streams also approahhes zero in some
years, the sewage treatment plant effluent would have to approach the
autlity of water which the stream standards require. tde question whether
such treatment will be practical on a consistent basis and we therefore
have strongley recommended that the township areas upstream on Cascade
Creek, Bear Creek, and the Zumbro River arrange with the City of Rochester
� to be served by city sanitary sewers and sewage treatment plant. The
city is presently planning expanision of the sewage treatment plant to
provide for a higher degree of treatment of additional sewage flow.
We can give you�no assurance that the Minnesota Water Pollution Control
51 Record of Official Proceedings of the -Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., June 7, 1965
Commission will give the township a permit to construct sewage disposal
systems discharging into the above named streams. To keep the Commission
property informed,. information on the status of negotiations betweenthe
township and city officials for disposal of sewage from the township
should be submitted. Arrangements can be made for township and city
officials to discuss this matter with the Commission at one of their
meetings.
If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please let
us know:
Yours very truly,
Lyle H. Smith
Executive Engineer"

Alderman Eichten returned to the meeting at 4:05 P. M.
The following recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission was read
and upon motion by Perry, second by Wilson, and all present voting in favor thereof, the
recommendation was approved:
"The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on May 26, 1965
reviewed the preliminary plat of the Dr. Theye property N. E. We find that this
property is not now a part of the City of Rochester and because of this, the City
does not have platting authority over this area. The owner is not anxious at this
time to have his property annexed to the City, even though he is completely
surrounded by the City of Rochester.
After reviewing this plat, we recommend that it be approved, subject to the following
conditions, as a General Development Plan for the area and at such time as this pro-
perty is annexed to the City,.the owner may then make formal application for approval
of a preliminary and final plat:
1. The owner has not at this time given it a name. This should be done as _soon
as possible.
2. Although Lots .1-3 have frontage on what will be a dedicated public street,
they are inaccessible auntil a public street from the north is constructed to
the north line of Dr. Theye's property. The General Development Plan of Peck's
Hills proposes to bring a public street to this property, however, there is no
time schedule on when this will be an accomplished fact. These lots would re=
main unbuildable until such time as a public street and City sewer and waeer
were constructed to properly service these properties.
3. Lot 4 is presently used as the private driveway access to Dr. Theye's home. It
will undoubtedly continue to be used as such for some time. At least until the
street in Peck's Hills is constructed, at which time access can be taken to the
north, and Lot.4 could then be used as a home site.
4. Lots 1-3, around the dul-de-sac, have frontages less than the required 60 ft.
• minimum, however, they do comply with the frontage modification provisions
of the Zoning Ordinance and we recommend that the frontages be modified by
the Common Council as shown.
5. The owner should consult with the City Electric Dept. and N. W. Bell Telephone
Co. pertaining to the need for utility easements onthis plat.
The recommendation of the Finance Committee that Mr. Cal Smith, Manager of
the Mayo Civic Auditorium be authorized to attend the 40th Annual Convention of Inter-
