"To: The Commanding Officer
9522 Air Force Reserve Recovery Squadron
Rochester, Minnesota
Subject: Leasing Space in the New Airport Terminal Building
Dear Sir:
The Rochester Airport will make available for lease to the 9522 Air Force Reserve
Recovery Squadron, the southeast basement wing of the new terminal building at the
airport; on the following basis:
1. The rent shall be $1.30 per square foot per year. Since the space in
question contains 6,787 square feet, the annual rent shall be $8,823.10.
2. The $1.30 rental fee is broken down as follows: $1..00 per square
foot occupancy charge and $.30 per square foot for heat and ventilation.
3. During the first three (3) years of occupancy, the airport will discount
the occupancy charge $.75 per square foot, charging only $.25 per square
foot occupancy charge plus $.30 for heating and ventilation or $.55 per
square foot per year. During the first three years this will amount to a
total discount in rent of $15,270,.75. .After the three-year period, the $1.30
per square foot figure will apply.
4. The airport will grant -an initial lease for a period of five years.
5. The City of Rochester will provide the improvements to the space in
question as deemed necessary by the lessee providing the cost of
improvements do not exceed $21,000 including engineering and architects
fees. The lessee is to reimburse the City of Rochester for the improvements
in equal monthly payments including 5% interest over a three-year period.
6. Janitor service will not be included in the above occupancy charge.
It is the opinion of the Rochester Airport Company that due to the
possibility of secret documents being kept by the lessee, Airport
Company employees should keep out of the lessee's space. Also due
to the undetermined number of days a year the space in question will
be occupied, a satisfactory charge for janitorial service cannot be
determined.
7. Electrical power and water will be provided by the City of Rochester.
The City will charge the lessee for the above mentioned utilities at a
rate commensurate with other existing leases at the airport.
8. Parking will be provided free of charge in the public parking lot
until such times as it becomes necessary to fence and gate the parking
area. This will be done in the event the parking area becomes overcrowded.
9. It has not been legally determined at this time whether the portion of the
Terminal Building proposed to be leased will lose its tax exempt status
and become subject to realestate taxes by reason of being leased for a
term -in excess of 3 years. It the area does become subject to realestate
taxes, it will be necessary to add the amount of such tax to the occupancy
charge.
Very truly yours,
s/DON SWENSON, Manager".
The matter of interest rate to be paid to the City of Rochester was discussed. The recommenda
stated 52% per annum and the informational letter 5%. A motion was made by Leonard, second by
DeVries, that the recommendation be approved and that the interest rate be reduced from 527. to
5% per annum return. All voted in favor thereof!

Alderman Tingley.informed the Council that the Charter Commission would meet with the
Common Council at 8-:00 o'clock P. M. on January llth, 1962.
ti
The following items relating to snow removal problems presented by Mr. Archie Armstrong,
City Engineer,were discussed.
1. The reconsideration of the snow removal ordinance initiated in 1958. Mr. Armstrong
stated that we are in an awkward position because there is nothing which requires the property
owner to remove snow from private sidewalks. There are no funds sqt up in the Street & Alley F
to .take.care of this. It was mentioned that it would be advisable to leave it up to the property
owner to remove the snow and then if they did not do so in a certain stated time, then city forces
could do so and assess the charge to them.
2. Consider the problem of service stations, parking lots, and others pushing snow from
private property out onto sidewalks, boulevards and roads.
3. People's disregard of "No Parking -Snow Removal" signs which slows down the removal of
snow and this greatly increases the cost of snow ,removal. He stated that the 12-hour limit for
on street parking is not being observed, especially in the apartment house areas. The,enforceme
of this is difficult because the Police Department have no place to impound cars left on the
streets. Potential impounding areas and penalties were discussed. A lso,the,possibility of
"calendar parking" was discussed. (Parking would be allowed on one,side of the street one night
and the other side the next during snow removal).
Upon motion by Stadler, second by Leonard and all voting in favor thereof, Items No. 1 &
study and.'
2 were referred to the.Public Works Committee for/recommendation and Items Nos. 2 & 3 were referrer
to the Mayor's Parking and Traffic Committee.
Upon motion by Morris, second by Wilson, the meeting was adjourned until 7:30 o'clock P.M.
President Tingley called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P. M. with the following

A.motion was made by Stadler, second by Morris, that the Council reconsider the action

taken at the afternoon meeting on the Mayor's veto of Ordinance No. 1123 - the rezoning of Lots
_ 1, 2 and.3, Block 10, Sunnyside Addition to a Commercial District. Upon roll call all voted in
favor thereof.
Mayor Smekta stated that it was his understanding that there were people in the audience
that would like to be heard on this ordinance before a vote is taken and it is my understanding
that the Council is willing to hear them again.
Alderman Tingley stated the Charter does not require that a hearing be held at this time
but still the Council would not refuse to hear them again. He then asked if there was someone in
i the audience who had something new on the rezoning of this property to bring before the.Council.
Mr. Rudolph F. Keller again stated that the property owners in the area were not in favor of
