outsiders who have no ingerest in our cities welfare. In particular, your
attention is called to our natural gas rates here iri Rochester, if a state
group were empowered to set our rates it would be done on an average basis
for the state as a whole and we would be required to subsidize many outlying
communities. .
I would suggest to this council that a resolution be drafted to our Senator
and Representative protesting this proposed legislation.
Respectfully,
/s Albert J. Tingley, President

"Gentlemen
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular.meeting held March 1, 1961
reviewed the matter of making the final payment to Ladislas Segoe and Associates
for their work on the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Rochester.
The following statements form the basis for this recommendation:
1. The city's contract with Ladislas Segoe�and Assoc. terminated on
December 31, 1960 but unforseen difficulties in assembling data
for Vol II of the plan have caused the consultant to delay its
submittal. All necessary information has,now been made available
to the consultant so the final volume can be prepared immediately.
2. The 1960-61 budget of the Planning and Zoning Commission contains
tge necessary funds for this payment, but these funds were not
included in the 1961-62 budget because it was felt at budget time
that the contract would be completed on time or at least well in
advance of the close of the 196041 fiscal year.
In view of the above cirumstances we recommend that final payment to�
Ladislas Segoe and Associates be authorized from funds available in the
1960 61_budget and charged to that budget but that actual payment be.
withheld until the City of Rochester has received the complete final
report."

Mr. Tom Harstad of the Magee Hale Park-O-Meter.Company.was present and --presented a
modernization program for the City's parking meters. - He said of the 1353 meters owned by the
City, 125 were purchased in 1949, 200 in 1950 and the balance in 1954. He -said such a program
could be handled in several ways and there are two phases to this particular program (1) the
replacement.of the mechanism and (2) refinishing and rebuilding the case. He said they take new
mechanism and put in the old cases, the program he proposed for the oldest'325 meters is that
the old Model G mechanism be traded in for new Model K. mechanism; they would allow a $10.00
trade in which would leave a $29.00 per mechanism cost and off of, this they would allow\$3.00
if the old timer was used (he suggested that the City retain the old timers) this would give a
net price per mechanism of $26.00. He recommended that the cases on these 325 meters should be
rebuilt; they would 'take 'the old cases` to' the factory 'arid refiriisli and rebuild them,' they would
give the City 325 cases to use while they were being rebuilt. lie 'said themaintenance men had
discussed replacing (1)' new 'coin door 'locks (2) new mechanism door locks and (3) dump coin chute
(there would be a trade iri allowance on 'the two locks); the total cost would be $39.60 per unit
and they would be like a brand new meter. He gave two methods of payment (1) pay $2.00 per
month on each meter, this would mean that every year,you would be paying $24.00 on each meter
(2) if the City paid on a cash basis there would be a 5% discount. Mr. Harstad also suggested
that the City. comply with a color code and have .their 12 minute meters with a red head. The
cost of a new meter was quoted as $.56.50-. Mr._ Ralph Ellingwood, Traffic Bureau Director, was
also present. and urged that some repairs or replacements be made; he noted that he had received
248 complaints of meters not functioning during February and 170 of. these complaints were
