of the City of- Rochester; Minn., June 15, 1959 •
Q
"The Honorable Alex P. Smekta
Mayor, City of Rochester
Dear Mr. Smekta:
The Rochester Board of Public Health and Welfare requests your interest and help
in amending Ordinance No. 858, the ordinance creating and establishing the Board
of Public Health and Welfare, to provide a third physician member. This addition
would raise the botal number of members from six to seven.
The Board has experienced the need of this addition to its membership for several
reasons. First, it would provide an odd number of members for voting purposes.
Second, the help of one more member is needed in the committee work and conduct
of the business of the Board. Finally, if this additional member could be
specifically a physician it would permit the appointment of a general practitioner
to the Board which would give better -representation in line with recent
development in the community.
The Board recommends this proposal to you•and the Common Council and offers its
help in any way possible to place it in effect.
Yours very truly,
/s N. A. Christensen, M.D.
President of Board of Public
• Health and Welfare"

that this matter be referred to the City Security Committee and City Attorney for study and
recommendation; McGuckin seconded the motion•and.all voted in -favor thereof, except Tingley who

roll call all voted in favor thereof.

Schuster was present and explained that the main differential was that the service cable would

furnish electricity for the New Rochester Municipal Airport.

made, seconded and passed it was recommended that -the City of Rochester enter
into a new contract to supercede the contract dated April 15, 1958.
The new contract for.a period of seven years specifies that Peoples
Co-operative Power Association will underground 2550 feet of electrical cable
on the airport premises and calls for rate schedule " L5" as shown in the
accompanying contract.
• It was deemed advisable by.the Airport Commission that this service cable
be placed underground in order to avoid any possible obstruction hazard and to
establish the policy that electrical lines within the premises be underground."
Upon motion by Tingley, second by Morris, the recommendation of the Airport Commission was accept-
ed and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution authorizing execution of the said
contract. All voted in favor thereof.

City of Rochester, Minnesota

In 1955, the City purchased a small tract of ground in Lot 37, Auditor's
Plat "A" which lies between Bear Creek -and the back yards of the houses"in
the 900 block on 9th Ave. S. E. It was purchased primarily to permit a
channel improvement in Bear Creek which was being made by the State of
Minnesota.
Its present condition is an annoyance to the neighborhood because of
its rough condition, brush, and fallen trees.
It is a logical extension of Slatterly Park, but evidently it has
never been assigned to the Park Dept. The Park Dept. is, however, willing
to take it into the Park System and maintain it provided the General Fund
will stand the cost of its original cleanup estimated at $200.
Will you please. make whatever assignment is proper of this parcel to
the Park Department so that it may be a matter of record.
Respectfu Ry,
/s C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer"
