NEW ULM, MINN. 9181 be given more study. He did not -feel that a person receiving retirement from the City should also be on the City payroll. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then explained that in the ordinance adopted by the Council, the Court was given the authority to appoint the head of the bureau but the salary would be set by the Council. A motion was then made by Brooks, second by Gifford, that this be tabled. All voted in favor thereof. The following veto message of Mayor Alex P. Smekta was read together with the "Ordinance Providing for the Licensing of Dogs; Providing for Apprehension and Disposition of Dogs and Cats Unlawfully Running at Large; Providing for the Vaccination of Dcg s and Cats for Rabies; Providing Other Regulations Governing Cats and Dogs; and Providing a Penalty for Violation." "I am returning without my approval the ordinance framed to establish dog and cat control in the hope that you will consider regulations further. I am doubtful that the at -large ban on cats could be enforced, or if so, only with extreme difficulty. The attempt to enforce a cat ban would not only involve the dog catcher, but the Police_Department and the Fire Department in many instances. It is my hope that the Council will consider a six month at large ban on running at large of dogs starting April 1st and ending September 30th. May I suggest that consideration be given to .licensing and vaccination features based on the recommendations of the Public Health authorities. May I further suggest that you take under consideration a twelve month ban of dogs running at large in parks, schools, school play grounds and cemeteries, that a stiff fine be involked the first time with a larger fine the second time and the third time the dog is picked up, it be destroyed. I will be very happy to discuss with the Council the above suggestions in order that a workable ordinance can be drafted." Mayor Smekta stated that he did not feel that the 12-month ban was workable and also that he did not feel that cats should be confined and recommended that the Council consider adopting an ordin- ance with a 6-month ban. Alderman Stadler stated that he felt -too much time had been wasted on the subject.of dogs. He said he was opposed to stray dogs running at large and the nuisance of cleaning after them but he never felt the 12-month ban was the solution and felt that an ordinance, should be passed that can and will be enforced. He said he was in favor of a six-month's ban and thought rabies should be every two years. Alderman Morris supported the 12-month ban and said many of the surrounding cities had such a ban and as to enforcement, he said he felt that it would', be up to the Council to see that the enforcement was done. Wilkus stated that he felt that they should enforce the law they now have and then go to a 6-month's ban. After a lengthy discussion, President Tingley called for a vote on whether the ordinance should be adopted or not. Upon roll call Brooks, Gifford, Morris and Wilson voting "Aye" and Stadler, Wilkus and Tingley voting "no" President Tingley declared the Mayor's veto sustained and the ordinance not adopted.

By action of the caanmittee, I am instructed to submit the following recommendations: Regarding Lot #3 - The -purchase of one ticket spitter to be installed on the south lane (entrance) for the use of incoming parkers; the addition of a "Right Turn Only' sign to be used by the attendant at the exit during congested periods and the elimination of parking at the curb on the three stalls south of the entrance to the lot on the east side of First -Avenue S.E. Regarding Lot #1 - no changes in the operation of this lot until such time and experience with the installation of the ticket spitter on Lot #3 can be studied for performance. This action was taken only after considerable study.and several meetings of a sub- committee dealing exclusivily in off-street parking. It is the belief of the committee that the practices included in these recommendations will permit the attendant to devote his full time to collecting fees from customers and permit easy and quick access to the lot thereby eliminating traffic tie-ups on Second Street S.E. and First Avenue S.E." President Tingley stated that he felt some study should be made of the parking lots.

Mr. Dan Foley, Attorney representing the persons opposing the annexation, was also present and heard. He stated that they had taken water sampled of various residences in that area and gotten back reports which did.not show the water was contaminated. Therefore, he felt that the Council should not take action until further tests have been made. Dr. Viktor 0. Wilson, Wm. Poblete and Bernard Kluck of the City Health Department and the Chief of the Water Pollution Control for the State of Minnesota -were -all present and -heard. Dr. Wilson stated that they -wanted to be of help to the Council if they had any.questions they.wished answered.

There was no one present wishing to be heard and President Tingley declared the hearing officially closed. 3. Hearing on the construction of a sidewalk on both sides of 15th Avenue Northwest from 20th Street Northwest to 22nd Street Northwest in Elton Hills Third Addition. The owner of the property at 1959 on the West side,of 15th Avenue Northwest was present and'stated that his lot was abutting but kind of around the corner from 20th Street and he wondered if this would be included in the description from 20th to 22nd Street and he wondered why he had not been,contacted to sign the petition. He was opposed to having the sidewalk put in at this time. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that the petition had.had over 50% of the property owners and therefore the Public. Works Committee had recommended that this work be done.

Mr. Oliver Perry, 109 llth Avenue Southeast, was present representing property owners on llth Avenue.' He presented and read a petition with 75 signatures stating that they felt the present width of llth Avenue was sufficient for the property owners out there and that the street widening program was planned for one purpose'.' To take care of traffic other than that of llth Avenue residents. If llth Avenue was widened, it would only prove to be more of a race track, increase the traffic, including commercial trucks, and tend to decrease the value of their property. He said that the signers of the petition agree and ask that it not be assessed and some believed it should not be widened at all. Some of LJ Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester; Minn.,' June .6, 1960 OBWALO PUBLISHING CO., NEW ULM, MINN. 9161 the residents are bothered by car fumes and if the street were widened, it would be even worse.

He further stated of that he had checked and/all the trees South of 2nd Street, there would be 85 trees taken out leaving only 10; over 50% of the sidewalks would have to be replaced and many of the people rent out apartments and they wcu ld have problems with parking vehicles.

Mr. Harold Whiting, representing himself and other owners of land stated, as they had before, that the would like to be left alone at this time. They did not think that this was the time economically speaking for them to be annexed.

In order to do this, they had to get a letter from the City and also one from the Chamber of Commerce staing that they were in favor of the convention coming to this city. He said that they had contacted the -Chamber of Comm- erce and they had gotten a letter (which was read) stating that the Chamber of Commerce was not in favor of having such a convention because of the fact that the last time they were here, they had so many complaints on the noise. He stated that he felt this was to the benefit of the merchants as much as it was to their organization, because at the last convention, $84,000.00 had been spent in three days. James J. Macken, Jr. Chief of Police, stated that he had no recollection that the. V. F. W. convention had been any worse than any of the others. He said that as far as the Police Department was concerned, it did not matter which convention came to town, they always tried to take care of them.
