"The Common Council
City of Rochester
Gentlemen:
. t
In spite of the complication of unusual cold weather and unusual amounts of
precipitation, the. subway construction between the Mayo Building and the Damon _
Building will be "completed almost on schedule. We expect that First Street S.W.
will be reopened to traffic during the week of February 26.
"
Our subway planning also includes a connection between the Damon Building
and the Kahler Hotel. For several reasons it is desirable to begin this work
immediately following completion of the subway segment between the Mayo -and
Damon Buildings. We respectfully request your permission to close Second Avenue
Southwest beginning during the week of February-26 for an estimated period of
six weeks.
The connection to the Kahler would be about at the location of the Braniff
Airlines Office. It seems best for the vehicle turn -around to be on the south side
of the excavation, permitting access to the Kahler west door. The details of the
work and the signs for direction of traffic have been disassed with representatives
of the Police Department and the City Engineer's•Office.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
/s R. C. ROESLER

"Mr. Albert Tingley !,
204 - 6th Ave. S.E.
Rochester, Minnesota j
Dear Mr. Tingley:
A copy of Mr. F.E. O'Hearn's letter to you was given to the Park Board, and I feel (1
that the Board should tell you and the Council our feelings in this matter.
For many years the Park Department operated the.concessions at no profit, if all.
costs are appraised realistically. Personnel, cost control and reliable accounting
were constant problems. Park systems throughout the country were.plagued with the
same troubles, and many of them solved these problems by.leasing the concessions -to.
private contractors on a percentage basis.
After consideralble study, our Board entered into a lease -agreement with Eugene Ehle
of Rochester to take over all aspects of the concessions -of the Park Department, -
with the exception of Soldier's Field Golf Course. We are pleased to -say -that the
results of our first eight months with Mr. Ehle•have exceeded our -expectations.
This lease solved most of the problems but regretabbly created a few." Mr. O'Heain's
letter points up one problem. Our lease stipulates conditions of service, safety
and maintenance of"property; but we do not believe it is -our perogative to tell the
lessee whom he must choose as his suppliers. This is where free enterprise must
take over. This problem was anticipated, but the merits'of a lease far outweighed
its negative'features.
Sincerely yours,
/s John A. Bach, Chairman of Concession Committee •
Board of Park Commissioners"

'The following geasibility report of the City Engineer and recommendation of 'the Public
Works Committee wer& read:
"Honorable Mayor'& Common Council '
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
A resolution proposing construction of a Sanitary Sewer and Water Main in
Blocks 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24 and that part of Block 3
lying east of -Trunk Highway 63 of Golden Hill Addition, and all of Garden Acres
was referred to this.office on July 17, 1961 for feasibility report.
We report that -the improvement is physically feasible in that the .existing
sanitary sewer main in the Fairgrounds can be extended to these areas; and the
water mains can be extended to these areas following the construction -of the S.E.
Water Tower project which is under contract. (The cost of which is additional to
this report). I. . � ...
The cost -of the proposed sanitary sewer and water main construction to the
property lying east of Trunk Highway 63 appears to be within the limits of the
benefits to be received. This cost is estimated at-$310,894, which would amount
to approximately $16 per front foot assessment .to the property east of Trunk
Highway 63.
The properties lying West of T. H. 63 in the area described present a special
problem of cost. The sewer and water mains can be extended to serve these
properties but the_cost•is extremely high-betause of the cost t)f trossing the
Trunk Highway as well as costly construction conditions along -the west frontage
of the highway. -
The estimated cost of crossing the Highway is $251,000. The cost of installing
the sewer and water mains along the 1200 feet of frontage between717th=St. and'
20th St. is $30,000, for a total of $55,000. If the entire amount is to be
assessed against this frontage -it would amount.to $46 per front foot, an,amount
which I consider to be in excess of benefits.
In conclusion I recommend that the Council proceed with construction of the
sewer and water in the area lying East of Trunk Highway 63 at once, and to
take under -further study the problem -of -financing the tonstruction necessary
to serve the property lying west of the highway, (1) by deferring part of the
cost to other properties that may later be' atinefced to the City and .(2) by '
meeting part of the cost with public funds.
-I further recommend that the construction east of the'highway be Contracted
as follows:
Section I Trunk Line thru the Fairgrounds. r
Section It All of.Golden Hill and Garden Acres lying east of T. H. 63.
Respectfully,
/s C. A. ARMSTRONG, City Engineer
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
The Public Works Committee has considered the above report -and recommends that
the project be continued as recommended.
We recommend the construction west of Highway 63 be deferred until the
feasibility of its cost can be determined.
We further recommend that the entire costs of construction east of Highway 63
be assessed to the property lying east of the highway in proportion to the
benefiis'received. '

/s FRANK J. WILKUS, Chairman

Mrs. Rita Thompson of the Starlite Motel and Mr. John Wood of the "63 Motel" were present and
inquired when they would get sewer and water on the west side of highway% 63. Mrs. Thompson said
they were here because the water had been condemned in their area dnd they wondered how long it
would take to get water; she said they had been told that they would not get the services due to
t
the high cost of getting under the highway and she wondered why this had not been done before the

new highway was constructed; she also inquired why a temporary main could not be installed from
the quonset huts. Alderman Wilkus stated that the reason the city did not install the main from
the quonset huts was that the city must maintain certain water pressures for fire protection and
running the mains from here would reduce the pressure in both areas; he said they had not been
put under the highways because the moneys were not available at the time; he explained that the
west side of the highway could not be served before the east side work is done, so while the work
is being done on the east side they would tryrpto find a solution as to how to take care of the
west side. A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by DeVries, that`the recommendation as
presented above be approved and all voting in favor thereof, President Tingley declared the motion
carried and the recommendation approved.'
