576 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., May 16, 1960
Resolution stating that in accordance with Section 3, of Ordinance No. 1045 authorizing
the establishment of a Traffic Violations Bureau, Roam No. 3 in the lower level of the City Hall
is hereby assigned for the use of the Traffic Violations Bureau was read. Mr. Ehrick then read
the following communication which was ordered placed on file:
"Mr. R. V. Ehrich, City Attorney
City Hall.
Rochester, Minnesota
In re: Traffic Bureau
Dear Mr. Ehrick:
I had a discussion today with Judge IaPlante concerning problems which
he feels are evident in establishing the proposed traffic bureau.
First, Judge LaPlante feels that the available location for the bureau
in the basement of the.City Hall is not particularly desirable and.it would
pose inconveniences for the general public. He realizes, however, that at the
present stage of Council developments that this is the only available location
at the present time and he feels that the bureau project should not fail simply
because of a temporary location problem.
Judge LaPlante has received a letter from the American Bar Association
concerning the cost of outside supervision in setting up the.procedures and
forms to be used in the traffic bureau. I am sure that we can appreciate the
Court's position on the complex matters which are inherent in setting up a
traffic bureau to handle thousands of cases in a dignified and accurate manner.
At the present time, Judge IaPlante is apparently willing to assume the.
responsibility for setting up the Court system but he wishes the Council be
advised of the American Bar proposal and of the possibility that future help
may be needed from them.
I am sure that Judge LaPlante is anxious to make this forward step
of a traffic bureau as soon as possible and this letter is directed to you
merely to advise you of some of the problems which the Court has expressed
to me.
Very truly yours,
s/WARREN EUSTIS
Assistant City Attorney".
