Avenue Northeast North.of 14th Street Northeast was read. His letter objected to the extension of

principal reason he gave was it would greatly increase the likelihood of automobile accidents at
the intersection of 14th Avenue and 14th Street Northeast. Mr. Wolfe was present and showed a
drawing of this section and listed the following as to why they felt this would not be desireable:
(1) It will cause a heavy flow of traffic through residential areas, increasing the
danger to children in these residential areas.
(2) The extension of 14th Ave. N.E., if constructed, will be a dangerous street with
steep grades and sharp curves combined with steep grades.
(3) The intersection of 14th Ave. N.E. and 14th St. N.E. will become increasingly
hazardous because of the heavy flow of traffic on 14th Ave. N.E.
(4) The extension of 14th Ave. N.E. is not necessary because the new residential area
to be served is now'better served by the extension of,14th Street N.E. (County Rd.#2)
which is a good paved highway with no excessive grades or sharp curves.
Mr. Robert Seaman, Mr. Robert Meyer, Dr. Harold Hoops and Gordon Bluhm were also present. In

Dear Miss Reiter:
In answer to your letter of July 8th, regarding the inquiry of the
Alderman about the present status of the Traffic Violation Bureau, I have
no further information except that obtained in the original investigation.
When the Council decides that such a bureau should be established in
the City of Rochester it will have to be done by ordinance under the State
Law.
Very truly yours,

Bureau according to the plans previously set up by the Security Committee, and that the City

"The Mayor and
The Common Council
City of Rochester
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota RE: New Airport Construction
Gentlemen:
At the Airport'Commission meeting we were requested to make a periodic
construction report to you for your general information.
The building construction phase of the airport construction is progressing
satisfactorily in spite of the inclement weather. The Weather Bureau Building
is progressing ahead of schedule with the footings and foundation walls having
been erected and the drain tile and foundation waterproofing having been in-
stalled.
On the Maintenance and Control Cab Building the special foundations and grade
beams have been installed. The electrical underground and mechanical underground
installations are in the process of being installed. The structural steel for the
superstructure has arrived today and the erection will be started on Friday or
Monday.. The General Contractor has informed -us that it may be possible to finish
.
the Maintenance and Control Cab Building and the Weather Bureau Building by the
end of October. If this is accomplished, these buildings will be completed six
months ahead of schedule.
The construction on the Terminal Building has been progressing satisfactorily,
but a little behind schedule because of the inclement weather. Foundations and
the majority of the foundation walls have been erected and the Contractor is
trying to expedite the closing of the basement so that the weather will have
no major effect on its completion.
The total project, in our estimation, is progressing in a satisfactory manner.
` Yours very truly,,
ELLERBE AND COMPANY
s/J. F. BRENGMAN"'.
Mayor Smekta then stated that ab long as the buildings were all progressing ahead of schedule
that some thought should be given to a dedication program for the New Muncipal Airport. A
motion was then made by Haas, that President Kamm appoint a committee which would include the

The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was read:
"Mr. Cal Haas
Dr. David Hanlon
Public Works Committee
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Your letter of July 6th is at hand. We apologize for the delay in answering.
Two of our commissioners have been on vacation and out of the city, consequently
we did not wish to commit ourselves on an•important land acquisition question
until at least one of them were able to be present.
Last evening at a meeting, the Board went over this northeast territory with
Mr. Van Hook, Superintendent of Parks and arrived at the decision that we should
ask the council to make arrangements to acquire two pieces of property in this
northeast area for park purposes. The number one piece should be two to three acres
in extent in the central to central west part of the Mohn and Hodge Addition. This
piece of property should have frontage on at least two streets and should be in as
near a level terrain area as possible so that the grounds will be adaptable to
playground usage.
The second piece of property would be in the Northern Heights addition. This
piece sloping to the north as it does, and going from an elevation of 1220 down
to an elevation of 1100, would make an ideal winter sports area, something we
need very badly in our park system. The upper elevation and lower elevation
parts of the area would make ideal picnic grounds and playgrounds. Consequently
we will be getting multiple use from this property.
We would be more than glad to over the map of this territory at any time.
However, the Planning Director and the Planning Commission know the area that
we refer to very well, and are in agreement with us as to the desirability of
it as a park area.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PARK CCMMISSIONERS
s/ ALBERT J. TODDIE
PHIL IAMPMAN
I. J. MULLENBACH".
Upon motion by Haas, second by Tingley, the matter was referred to the Planning & Zoning Commis
The question then arose as to whose responsibility it was to try to negotiate for these pieces

pieces of property be referred to the Public Works Committee. Haas seconded the motion and all

A letter from W. W. Hayes, Civil Defense Director, submitting a revised budget for the
Civil Defense Department for the City only was read. A motion was'made by Haas, that this be
referred to the City Security Committee. President Kamm declared the motion lost for want of a
second.
A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by Hanlon, that we postpone action on this
until November when we set our new budgets. Upon roll call and Haas, McGuckin and Kamm voting
"no" and Hanlon, Tingley and Wilkus voting "Aye", President Kamm declared the motion lost.
A motion was then made by Hanlon, second by Wilkus, that this communication be tabled
until the Chairman of the Internal Affairs Committee is back in town and it be brought up again
on August 3rd. All voted in favor thereof.

Haas, second by Wilkus,:it was referred to the Public Works Committee, all voted in favor thereof:
"The Honorable:Mayor
The Common Council
City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Attached herewith is a petition for local improvement, grading, and surfacing of
Nineteenth Avenue Northwest from Seventh Street Northwest to a point 310 feet
South of the center line of Fourteenths Street Northwest. This street lies along
the east side of property owned by Industrial Opportunities Incorporated.
In view of the fact that the Minnesota Highway Department is now constructing
the grade for Seventh Street Northwest underneath the over -pass carrying Highway
52 north, it would appear desirable from the standpoint of traffic flow and utiliz-
ation of street patterns already laid out in the Industrial Opportunities property,
and property to the north, that the connecting segment of Nineteenth Avenue North-
west be graded and surfaced.
Industrial Opportunities Incorporated is prepared, upon receipt of appropriate bids,
to undertake one-half of the cost of improving this segment of Nineteenth Avenue
Northwest, with the understanding that the other half of the cost will be borne by
the owner of the property on the east side of this street.
Yours very truly,
s/ FRED W. SCHUSTER,
Property Manager".

Mayor Smekta informed the Council that the Airport Commission was meeting tomorrow to
further discuss plans for financing Gopher Aviation, Inc. Hanlon stated that he felt when the
City was spending the money to finance buildings for Gopher Aviation that they sould be able
to hire whatever architect they wished. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, read the contract with
Ellerbe and Company and K. M., McGhie for engineering and architects services and said his in-
terpretation was that they had to use Ellerbe and Company for all buildings i.e. terminal,
hangers, service buildings, miscellaneous structures and landscaping and site beautification; but
he said the Council could negotiate a new contract by asking K. M. McGhie and Ellerbe and Co.
to negotiate, but renogotiation should be a mutual agreement. After further discussion, Alderman
Hanlon moved that the City Council go on record with the belief that the construction of all
buildings for Gopher Aviation are separate from any previous negotiated contract for construction
