•
this during the past few years because of the large expansion program, but now the Board had
again decided to pay 10% of residential and commercial electric income to the City, rather than
take each request separately, so the Council would know what they were"getting; they would start

Alderman Hanlon arrived at 9:00 P. hi.
Mr..Fred Schuster, Chairman of the Airport Commission, presented the.following outline,
he said that they had taken bids with various alternates in order to try to determine what they
could do for.Gopher Aviaition, Inc. within the limits of the funds which the.Council felt would
be reasonable to spend on this particular project, they have reviewed the bids and it appears
that.the building of the:"B'.' hangars is the most that we could accomplish, at least close to the
funds available. "B" Hangar 160 x 150

lair. Schuster said the question they have is what does the Commission do, should we proceed to
discuss this matter with Gopher Aviation, Inc., we have been told that the Council would like to
accomplish this within $050,000.00, it does not look like we will be able to do it and if it gets
to be $315,000 or $385,000 should we go, on. If it is not feasible we do not feel we should waste
our time and energy in pursuing .it further. He said they were goind to try to find out what it
would involve to move the present iron hangar out to the present site. The "A" hangar was so far
above the $350,000.00 that they couldn't even consider it. Also they would probably leave the
engine shop where it was and he said he did not feel it mattered to much if it was on the airport,
just so it was in the City of Rochester. He also said that it was agreed that Gopher Aviaition
and the City of Rochester would split the cost of the architects fees for plans and specifications
that were never used.
Hanlon stated that he felt bids should not have been ordered on this project until we
have settled some of the basic problems and we should settle the security of this business, I
think we have to establish if we want -to spend this amount of money for this hangar which may hot
be adaptable for the City if they can not keep up their payments. He said he was opposed to even
negotiating if it will be this much money in excess of what we plan for a special type of building.)
t
McGuckin said he would like to hear more and sit in on some of the discussion before he makes a
decision. Haas said he felt they justgrabbed the figure of $350,000 out of the air and ,it could
just as well have been $400,000 so he was kind of leaning to go along with the extra if necessary.
Kamm said that he.ghought they should negotiate with Gopher Aviaition, Inc. and come up with More
definite figures.
The following resolutions were each introduced and read and all voting in favor thereof,
President Kamm declared the said resolutions duly passed and adopted:
Resolution levying taxes for the year 1959 in the aggregate amount of $2,460,365.00. Upon

Alderman Tingley ,stated that it was brought up that the Electrical Inspector makes
reports and everything but they are of no value for the Public Utility Board. It seems that the
entrance to the buildings where the Public Utility Department has to go is from a different
direction and they feel something should be done to get the information prior to the time the
building is completed and the entrance is ready and they feel the Electrical Inspector should make
reports to the Public Utility Board or that he be placed in the Public Utility Department where
they will have access to him; they find themselves coming in to a building from one direction with
utilities but the entrance is way around to the other side of the building and there should be
something done to get the cooperation between the Electrical Inspector and the Public Utility
Board. Garnet Spring was to talk to the Electrical Inspector and try to get this problem taken
care of.
C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, questioned if the proposal of the Public Utility Board
to again pay 10% of their gross earnings meant that they were going to continue withthestandard
street l'igh'ting program or just how this would affect the normal street lighting program. Alderman
Tingley said it was his understanding that the Public Utility Department would take care of the
standard lighting program the same as always. A motion was made by Hanlon, second by Tingley;
that the City Engineer be instbueted to inform the Highway Department that we are going to proceed
with the cross lighting program as presented by the City Engineer. All voted in favor thereof.
Upon motion by Morris, second by McGuckin, the meeting was adjourned.
