Upon motion by Haas, second by McGuckin, the minutes of the meeting of September 21,
1959 were approved. Alderman Tingley stated that at the last meeting when he had moved to add
an additional paragraph to the Electric Service Agreement between the Peoples Cooperative Power
Association and the City of Rochester, it was his understanding that if the City paid the
unamortized cost the equipment would revert to the City but upon reading the minutes (Page 3-
Line 28) he found that the amendment did not specify this -which was the intent and thought such
a provision should be added. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney stated that the contract had already
been executed and delivered; that this is a standard type of utility procedure in this type of
contract and he had been told by Peoples Cooperative Power Assocition that the Federal
Administrator would -not approve a contract with such an item in it. Mr. Ehrick was to contact
Peoples Cooperative Power Association and see if he could get some kind of understanding from
them that if the City cancelled the contract under the terms of this section that the equipment
would become the property of the City.
President Kamm stated',this as being the time and place -set for receiving and opening
bids for street grading and surfacing and construction of sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water
main -and service connections in Northgate 3rd Addition and on 19th Street Northwest from T. H.

lost for want of a second. A motion was then made by Hanlon that the City advise the owner that the
City is in no financial position to buy any additional land at this time and that this letter be

A,.letter signed by R. J. Molander, Paster of Rochester Covenant Church, requesting
an exception to the building code was read. Garnet Spring, Building Inspector stated that the
outside wall on the 'gable ends does not comply with thebuilding code but they had now revised
their plans and though they still did not comply, he recommended that theybe.granted as building

Mr. Donald Swenson of T. G. Evenson Company, was present and informed the Council
that they were serving Special School District No. 4 as their fiscal agent and were getting ready
to sell about two and one-half million dollars worth of bonds and would like to sell the balance
of the bonds authorized.for the City.; he recommended a combined City -School -County program and
stated that if they sold the $1,175,000 for the City the cost would be less than $3900.00 which
involved about 1/3 of 1%. President Kamm called on R. C. Andrews who stated that the City would,
in the near future, have to issue $1,175,000 bonds for street improvement purposes (the last of the
bond issue authorized in 1957), approximately $200,000.00 P.I.R. Bonds for local improvement water,
sewer and tother prollcts, and approximately $350,000.00 for hangar facilities at the new municipal
airport. He said the issue would run about two million dollars and he felt if the City issued at
a different time than the school they would have a better market. He said when in New York this
spring he had consulted with various bond buyers and they had told him that two bond issues should .
be at least 90 days apart so the first of the two.issues could clear the market. Mr. T.G. Evenson
then spoke, he said he had been a dealer, buyer and salesman and therefore felt.he knew all the
procedures neeessary and thought he could do a more effective job; he said municipal financing is
at a record high level and this means market conditions under which buyers can be selective and
felt if an effective presentation of fiscal arrangements and proposals, such as they could present,
would lead to better buyer offers. A motion was then made by Haas that this matter be referred to
the the Internal Affairs Committee. McGuckin seconded the motion and all voted in favor thereof.

The annual rent to be charged for the buildings shall be that sum of
money necessary to retire in equal annual installments the• entire

with similar power and water requirements.
11. Lessors will provide and maintain means of ingress and egress to the leased
premises.
12. In the event his proposed lease agreement does not become effective and
the proposed buildings are not constructed and the proposed premises not
leased, the City and Gopher will share the cost of building plans and

The lessors in this proposed lease agreement will be the City of Rochester and the
Rochester Airport Company. The respective rights and obligations of each of the lessors shall
be specifically defined in the agreement but all rights and obligations of Rochester Airport
Company shall be finally terminated on October 31, 1975.
The foregoing outline of the terms and conditions which will be required in any lease
agreement with Gopher is not intended to be detailed or exhaustive, but is intended to cover
only the major aspects of such agreement. Howdver, most of the other terms and provisions
of any final lease agreement are of lesser importance and, the Commission feels, not contro-
versial. Any agreement to sell gasoline and petroleum products on the airport site must be
made separately between Gopher and Rochester Airport Company and is not included in this
proposed lease agreement.
Will you please notify the Commission in writing of your acceptance of the mayor aspects
of this prospective lease as outlined above at your earliest convenience. Upon receipt of this
notice, the Commission will have a final detailed lease agreement prepared by the City Attorney
to be submitted to the Common Council and you for approval.

Gentlemen:
Attached hereto is a copy of the letter dated September 29,'1959'sent by the Airport
Commission to Gopher Aviaition, Incorporated which outlines the basic lease provisions
under which the City of Rochester would construct hangar facilities for Gopher at a
cost not to exceed $350,000. The terms outlined in this letter had previsously been
discussed and informally approved by the Common Council.
Also attached hereto is a letter from Gopher Aviation, Incorporated dated October 5,

Record of Official Proceedings of the'Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 5, 1959 •
The Airport Commission recommends that the City of Rochester accept the basic
lease provisions as modified, and further recommends that the City of. Rochester
advertise for bids for the construction of hangar Buildings according to plans
and specifications submitted herewith.
Prior to the acceptance of any bids for construction of hangar facilities, the
City of Rochester should have in hand detailed lease agreements executed by
the City of Rochester and Gopher Aviaition, Incorporated.
Yours respectfully,
/s Fred W. Schuster, Chairman
Rochester Airport Commission"
Mr. Fred Schuster stated that the Commission had gone over these changes requested by Gopher
Aviation, Inc. and recommended that they be approved. Discussion was held on getting the personal
signatures of the principle officers; Schuster said that the principles had refused to give their
•
personal guarantee; Haas, Tingley and Morris indicated that they did not think personal guarantee
was necessary. Hanlon questioned as to whether or not an audit on Gopher Aviaition Inc. had been
received. He was told it had not been received as yet but had been requested. Hanlon stated that
he felt the Council should go slow on this and did not feel that bids should be ordered until the
plans and specifications had been presented and the Council had a chance 'to look them over. He
said he did not think this was a secured risk, if one of the principles were to quit the business
in a few years he did not think the coverage was enoughto protect thetaxpayer. After a lengthy
discussion a motion was made by Haas that the recommendation of the Airport Commission be accepted;
Tingley seconded the motion. Hanlon then moved that thisbe tabled until we have a final report
from the auditing firm for Gopher Aviation, Inc.; President Kamm declared his motion lost for want
of a second. A motion was then made by Tingley, second by Morris, that the original motion be
amended that the recommendation be accepted subject to a satisfactory certified public accountant
