"Mr. Richard V. Ehrick
Attorney at Law
327 First National Bank Bldg.
Rochester, Minnesota
RE: Street and utility installation adjacent to new Junior High School
Dear Mr.-Ehrick:
Record of Official Proceedings of the. Common Council99
of the City of Rochester, Minn., November 20, 1961
5
My clients, Javis Christenson, Richard Morton and Wilsie White, have
agreed to convey 'the necessary frontage off their home,sites to be
dedicated as a street to the City of Rochester, if the following
'apportionment of development costs is adheredto:'
1. The individual property owners will pay $2 per front
foot for the street improvements and $2 per'front
foot for installation of water mains and $6 per front
r--q.
foot for installation of sewer lines, -it being under=
T__�
stood that the assessment for water and sewer would
C1
be delayed until such a time as the owners connect
m
thereto.
2. The individual property owners will -not be assessed
for the storm sewer, as it benefits the school only.
3. The individual property owners will assume the cost
of sidewalk on the North side of the street at such
- a time as the installation is deemed necessary.
4. The City shall bear any costs attendant to the trans-
•
q fer of land for street purposes.
5. The City shall bear the costs of manholes and hydrants
' and accessories. -
The above costs represent approximately 1/3 of the costs of in-
stalling the various utilities and is estimated-tb be the approxi-
mate assessment that would be levied if a division was made between
the school district as a commercial -user -and the residential owners.
These were the figures given the property owners when estimates
were furnished them at the time of their original meeting with
school and'city.officials.,
.
If the school district will concur in this division of costs
and the -city can assume the cost of extras that have come up
since the original meeting with the owners, the land owners
are prepared to proceed immediately.
Very truly yours,
s /DONALD T. FRANKE"
The City Clerk stated that the bid of Fire and Safety, Inc. for the installation of
Civil Defense Air Raid Sirens had been approved in the amount of $4,'045.00 on November 6th. Mr.
G. M. Thompson of Fire & Safety, Inc. had brought to our attention that the amount of $480.00
for furnishing electrical conduit, connections and hookups had been ommitted from his bid. He had
now signed the contract in the amount of $4,045.00 and wondered what the Council was going to do
about the additional $480.00. A motion was made by Wilkus, second by DeVries that Mr. Thompson be
instructed to continue with the installation with the price as established in the contract. All
voted in favor thereof.
Alderman Leonard stated that he had talked with county officials and had been informed
that the County had budgeted for the total mental health program for the county. In the past the
City supported about 70% of the program and the county 30%. He suggested that the Council could
perhaps rescind their action in budgeting for mental health as long as the County had budgeted the
total cost. It was proposed earlier in the year that the county take over full control of the
mental health program but no action has been taken on this. Alderman Stadler stated that -he felt
the City had certain responsibilities with reference to the Mental Health Clinic and the people of
the City of Rochester; he said the City has and will always pay the largest.share for its support
and will have the most people using it. He said he felt the City should maintain some authority
of its operation. R..V. Ehrick, City Attorney stated that he had requested an opinion from the
Attorney General on a joint venture but had not received a reply as yet. No action was taken by
the Council and it seemed to be the general feeling that until same written agreement is reached
between the County -and the City, that the money be left in the budget.
Dr. Bruce Douglas, Member of the Music Board, was before the Council and stated that
0

they had advertised for bids for remodeling the band shell, that only one bid had been received
and that was in the amount of $3,490.00. They had estimated that this would cost about $2500.00
so they would be short about $1000.00 and wondered if they could borrow it from'the General Fund
and pay it back next year. Mr. David Marinus, another member of the Music Board, stated that in
going over their finances there was a possibility that they would have enough money to pay for
this but they just wanted to know that if they ran short they could borrow it until next year.
The recommendation of the Finance Ways and Means Committee that the bid of Weis Builders in the
amount of $3,490.00 for alterations and improvements of the concert shell in Mayo Park be accepted
was read. A motion was then made by Wilson, second by DeVries, that the recommendation of the I�
Finance, Ways and Means Committee be approved and if necessary the sum of $1,000.00 be transferred
to them._ All voted in favor thereof.
Alderman DeVries introduced a resolution accepting the bid of Weis Builders, Inc for the
alterations and improvements of the concert shell in Mayo Park. Upon motion by Wilson, second by
DeVries and'all voting in favor thereof, resolution adopted.,
Upon motion by Wilson, second by Wilkus, the meeting was adjourned.
