When our lineman Verle Klennert came in contact with'a hot-wire at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, June 8, 1961, the line truck at the scene immediately radioed in to the office at Silver Lake Plant. The girl there immediately called the Rochester Ambulance Service. Since the amublance is parked only a couple of blocks from the plant, we can always hear the ambulance going out on a run. After waiting about five minutes for the ambulance to leave, we called them again. In the meantime, we were getting desperate calls from the line truck to rush the ambulance. Finally after about ten minutes, we did -hear the ambulance leave. I arrived at the scene of the accident at the same time as the ambulance,. The line crew had lowered Verle off the pole and were attempting mouth to mouth resuscitation. One of the ambulance men then attempted to'use a tube and mask resuscitator, but evidently the device was defective or he could not make it work. After some time, our crew went back to mouth to mouth resuscitation. At this time, with the situation desperate, we radioed for the Fire Department Emergency Squad. When the office girl called the fire station, she was informed that the emergency squad could not make the run because the site of the accident was outside the city limits. She then called the Rural Fire Department, who did make the run. But in the meantime Verle had been placed in the ambulance, and was'on the way to St. Mayy's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. In this particular case, I feel that Verle was killed immediately, and that there was nothing anyone could have done. However, in a different situation the slowness of service and the lack of equipment might mean the difference between life and death. I believe that the main requirements of emergency ambulance service are speed, proper equipment, and trained personnel. If you do not have these, you have nothing but hearse service. Recall the incident when the Civil Defense man was killed on'Center Street this spring while directing traffic at the auditorium. I was there and saw what happened.' After the man was hit by the car, he lay on the'street for 20 to 25 minutes before the ambulance -arrived. Other civil defense men and city policemen did everything they could at the scene, but where was the ambulance? And this took place A 'blocks from the Methodist Hospital, in the home of the Mayo Clinic. Contrast these experiences with a third one. Several years ago a lineman was injured near the IBM plant. The injury,'later proved minor, seemed very serious at this time. When I heard the call over'the radio, I immediately got in my car and started for the scene of the accident, probably breaking a lot of traffic regulations on the way. When I got out to the highway, Baldy Mertz was behind me with the old police ambulance. We commented at that time on the quick run that had been made. I do not know the people operating the Rochester Ambulance Service. They are probably conscientious people, doing everything they are paid to do. But I do feel that emergency ambulance service is not property organized. And we have many people in this department who feel as I.do. Yours truly, /s Harold 0. Moe, Superintendent" Copies of a proposed agreement from the State of Minnesota, Highway Department, with the City of Rochester relative to the relocation of city utilities necessitated by Trunk Highway No. 14 construction (Utility Agreement No. 52990) were presented.

P. 5502-23 Trunk Highway 52-14 project between 4th Street N. W. and llth Street S. W., that these amounts originated from the Water and Light Department heads and had been approved by them. A.motion was then made by Wilson, second by DeVries, that this agreement be approved and the City Clerk was instructed to prepare a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the said agreement.

Rochester, Minn., June 19, ,1961 06WALD PU'BLISHI'NO CO -NEW UL:M-MIN'N-A9528 "Honorable Mayor and Common Council City of Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting' -held June 7, 1961, reviewed the request of the Public Utility Department for a conditional use permit to construct the above described building in the Residential District under the provisions of Section 7 (d) of Ordinance No. 558 (Zoning Ordinance), and'we wish to make the following comments and recommendation: In reviewing the proposal of the Public Utility Board to construct a Public Administrative Building as described herein it appears to us that although there will probably be no objection to locating the building on the site proposed,.there may be some alternate site locations - which have advantages in the long run that are not available on the proposed site. In this regard we would point out that the proposed " • location is somewhat off of the main traveled way and would not be readily visible to the people of Rochester in their daily travels around the City. It should also be noted that 2nd Avenue N.E. will eventually be extended under the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad tracks of the Zumbro River. We feel that the route of 2nd Avenue N. E. would provide a highly -desirable location for the proposed Utility Department Administrative Building. There are several sites along this route where the building could be located.' One would be right off the southeast corner of the present Silver Lake Plant and the other would be a location presently occupied by a frame warehouse building on the southwest corner of 4th Street N. E. and 2nd Avenue N. E. After considering the above possibilities, we would first of all suggest and hope that the Public Utility Board might take under consideration the locations as proposed in this report for possibly locating the site for this structure. Should this procedure be decided as unnecessary and unwarranted, we would then recommend that the Public Utility Board be granted authorization to construct its proposed Administrative Building on -the lots as proposed in this request subject to the following general considerations: 1. The building be setback from the north -line of 5th Street N. E. a distance of 25 ft. for yard space. 2. A rear yard be provided west of the railroad tracks equal to that required by the Zoning Ordinance using a line 15 ft. west of the centerline of the railroad tracks as the east lot line, unless the Common Council wishes to grant a variation from the ordinance in this case.
