fund and suggested that a monthly charge should be made for passenger or truck loading zones, such
charges,to be based on the meter zone in which the building and/or business is located and listed
the following as problems they foresee:
1. The principle charging for parking on the street is based on the fact that it is
a regulatory measure rather than an income measure.
2. You proposed to exempt churches --how about franchise holders such at the
Telephone Company, Rochester Bus Lines, Taxi stands, and Gas Company?
3. How do you collect the fee.should a firm refuse to pay stating that the city
should meter the stalls andstate law requires fire zones in front of the
building such as a th eatre?
4. Who pays for the loading zone in front of a building with multiple tenants?
Is the fee a charge against the tenant or the property owner?
5. Is the fee for each parking stall or one fee for the whole loading zone area?
6. Upon what basis is the fee made -- who determines who gets a loading or
passenger zone and who does not?
27 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., September 8, 1959 •
7. It is doubtful that this new measure corrects present inequities. Some
people have had loading zones for years hhat probably wouldn't be granted
one by the present Council.'

The following recommendation of the Internal Affairs Committee was read:
"Mayor Alex P. Smekta and
Members of the Common Council
Gentlemen:
Whereas, it is in the best interest of the City of Rochester and its
residents to retain good airline service and obtain added service when
possible, and
Whereas, the Rochester Airport Company has retained since July, 1958
the legal services of Welch Pogue, Washington Attorney, former chairman of
Civil Aeronautics Board, and Leslie Schroeder, Minneapolis Attorney, former
State Commissioner of Aeronautics to prepare briefs and appear before the Civil
Aeronautics Board when our interests are concerned, and
Whereas, the cost to date has been borne by the Rochester Airport Company
and Chamber of Commerce and is burdensom expenditure.
Be it Resolved that the City of Rochester budget $5,000.00 for the -fiscal
year ending March 31, 1961 to be used for the following purpose:
$2,800.00 to pay -one half of cost of annual retainer
2,200.00 to apply on additional fees if required
$5,000.00 total maximum appropriation.
Respectfully submitted,
/s Stanley M. Morris, Chairman
/s W. P. McGuckin"
Alderman Tingley, the other member of the Internal Affairs Committee, stated that he had refused
to sign this report because he did not feel it was a justifiable expenditure of city funds. R.V.
Ehrick, City Attorney, recommended that it be investigated as bo the value and responsibility of
such a service. A motion was then made by Tingley that this matter be referred back to the
Internal Affairs Committee and in the meantime the City Attorney follow through and check with
the Minnesota Department of Aeronautics.to see if such a service is justifiable. Morris seconded
the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Mr. John Bakke, Personnel Director, was present and told the Council that one of the
Park employees owned a home in Chester, Minnesota and was now renting an apartment in Rochester
and had asked for permission to move to Chester but still.keep working for the City. After
z S 2 Record .of Official Proceedings of the Common Council

discussing,the matter, President Kamm called for a vote by a show of hands, and it was the
unanimous opinion of the Council that the rule that an employee live in the City be upheld and
the employee be notified of -this Decision by Mr. Bakke.
Upon motion by Haas, second by Hanlon, the meeting was adjourned until 7:30 P. M.
President Kamm called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P. M., the following members
being present: President Kamm, Aldermen Haas, Hanlon, McGuckin, Morris, Tingley, Wilkus.
President Kamm stated this as being the time and place set for hearings on the follow-
ing projects:
Hearing on grading and surfacing of the west � of 19th Avenue N. W. from 7th Street
Northwest to a point 310 feet south of the centerline of 14th Street Northwest. Mr. Norman
Nitzknowski, Attorney from Mankato, was present representing Mr. Arthur Hall owner of property
on 19th Avenue N. W. which is outside the City limits. He requested that this hearing be contin-
ued so as to give his client a chance to study whether or not it would be feasible to go along
with this project and possibly consider annexing their land to the City. He stated that they
felt by only grading and surfacing one half of the street it would cause a bottleneck in traffic.
A motion was made by Hanlon that the hearing be adjourned until 7:30 P. M. on November 5, 1959.
Haas seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Hearing on grading and surfacing, storm sewer and water main construction in 1st
Avenue Southwest from the north line of vacated 7th Street S. W. to 8th Street S.W. There was no
one present wishing to be heard. President Kamm declared the hearing officially closed.

abutting Lot 19, in Block 1, Thomas Addition. There was no one present wishing to be heard.
President Kamm declared the hearing officially closed.
The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee and the City Engineer was
read:
"Honorable Mayor.& Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We the undersigned, recommend (in connection with the State Highway Departments
proposed relocation of parts of Trunk Highway #2 and #14 in the vicinity of llth
St. S.W. and the Beltline intersection) that Memorial Parkway be connected with
Trunk Highway #14.
We do not consider construction of the east end of Memorial Parkway to connect
with 6th Avenue Southwest adviseable at this time. However, this committee
recognizes that there is a distinct probability that such an extension will be
made when future traffic demonstrates its need.
Public Works Committee
Respectfully,
( /s David C. Hanlon
( /s Wm. P. McGuckin
( /s J. C. Haas
Is C. A. Armstrong"
Mr. Russ Lang of 1102 Memorial Parkway was heard and upon inquiry was told that Memorial Parkway
would not be the only entrance or exit on the khighway, and also questioned the possibility of
an off ramp from llth Street to the Belt Line. A motion was then made by Hanlon, second by Haas,
that the recommendation of the Public Works Committee be accepted and it be amended to the
effect that the Minnesota Highway Department be asked as to the feasibility of an off-ramp.from
Highway #14 to llth Street Southwest.

truck had been damaged was determined. R.V.Ehrick reported that investigation showed that the
fault rests primarily on the city driver. Mayor Smekta said that there were a number of other
accidents in which drivers of city vehicles had been involved and suggested that the time for a
safety program was at hand; he also stated that he had.received complaints of city owned vehicles
by
being driven/employees to and from work and asked whether a pool arrangement for overnight parking

A.resolution amending the comprehensive resolution establishing parking and parking
meter regulations and provisions as follows was read:
"l) Subsection bv. of Section (2), NO PARKING ZONES, is hereby amended so that
the same shall read in its entirety as follows:.
bv. On the South side of 6th .Street Southwest between 4th Avenue and
loth Avenue Southwest, at all times."
Upon motion by Haas, second by Wilkus, and all voting in favor thereof, President Kamm declared the
above resolution duly passed and adopted.
A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by -Hanlon, that the action to give the
ordinance annexing the Markay its 3rd reading be reconsidered. Upon roll call Tingley voted "no",
so President Kamm declared the motion lost.
An Ordinance authorizing the establishment of a traffic violations bureau and providing
for the location and operation thereof, was given its second reading. A motion was .made by Hanlon,
second by Haas, that the rules be suspended and the ordinance be given its third and final reading,
and upon roll call and Tingley voting "no", President Karma declared the motion lost.
Alderman Hanlon stated hhat he thought the Council should meet with the Municipal
Judge to see about the details of establishing such a bureau so that when the ordinance is adopted
there is no delay. Hanlon then moved that the Council meet with the Judge of Municipal Court
within the next month and make a determination as the cost, place, etc. for such a bureau.
McGuckin seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by Hanlon, that the Council reconsider the

A resolution authorizing and directing the Mayor and City Clerk on behalf of the City

"no, President Kamm declared the resolution adopted. The matter of the recent rate increase was
then discussed. It was noted that most of the prices had gone up from 2.00 to 2.50 1per month and
the question arose as to what was to control the rates. It was suggested that if the City retained
this one truck it might be a factor in rate control; also franchising the haulers was discussed and
the City Attorney explained that if they were franchised the City would have to be prepared to buy
the trucks of the non -franchised haulers operating in the areas where the franchise holders were
assigend. Hanlon then stated that he felt before they decided one way or the other, if this was
so complicated, they should get together and express our views to the Public Health & Welfare Board.
He then moved that the Council reconsider the action approving the resolution to sell the city
refuse truck. Tingley seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.
Alderman Hanlon then moved that the Council take no action on the sale of this truck
at present and the we notify the Board of Public Health & Welfare that the reason was the recent
raise throughout the City on garbage rates; and before we take any action we want to meet with them
to see if we can get a better rate or a complete control, or whether the City wants to go into
