12, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24 and that.part•of Block 3 lying east of Trunk Highway 63 of Golden Hil
Addition and all of Garden Acres. Mr..James Bennett of 1603 - 2nd Ave*S. towas present and
inquired when this work would be finished; he was told it would be completed by the end of
September. Mrs. Thompson of the Starlite Motel was also present and inquired if and when sewer
and water .would be put on the west side of the highway;_C.,A. Armstrong, City Engineer, reported
that there were no construction plans at present but there was a recommendation from the Public
Works Committee to be considered at today's meeting instructing them to go ahead with the project''
Mr. Dwayne Robinson of 103 - 17th Street S. E. stated that he ked a corner lot and_inquired if
t
he would be assessed for both sides, he also inquired what would be done to the raodway; Mr.
Armstrong reported that thq policy in the past had been that every corner lot be.assessed for the
narrow side and not be assessed fqr anything in -excess of 120 feet, he said the roadway would
be left in as nearly as possible the same condition as,it was when they stateed. The following
recommendation was then read:
"Honorabld Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota Job 1607 Golden Hill and Garden
Acres Sewer and Water
(Sec. III Land lying West of
Gentlemen: T.H063)
We have considered the Feasibility Report of the City Engineer dated
February 9, 1962 on the above project. We find that there is a real and
immediate need for Municipal -sanitary sewer and water services to the
properties on the west side of Trunk Highway 63; and mindful of the
extremely high cost of this section, we recommend its construction as soon
as.plans and specifications can be prepared.
We recommend that the benefitted properties now within the City limits
lying west of TH 63 be assessed at a rate of $25 per front foot for the
sanitary sewer and water mains, plus any costs of sewer easements that may
be incurred. We further recommend that the project costs --in excess of the
assessments be borne by City"funds and be recovered to whatever degree is
possible by Deferred Assessments to properties that may subsequently be
annexed to the City and served by this main.
Respectfully,
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
/s Frank J..Wilkus, Chairman
/s Harold DeVries
'/s James R. Wilson"
Upon motion by Wilkus, second by DeVries, and -all voting in favor thereof, the recommendation wasil
approved. Mrs. Thompson inquired if the sewer and water main would be going over the highway

together; Mr "Armstrong said they would both both come across: at.l9th Avenue but he: did not
know if they would be in one or two dµct$, he said they would do it the most ecpnomical way
possible. No one eXse wishing to be }ieard,-President pro tem Morris declared the --hearing
officially closed.
Hearing on street grading and surfacing and construction of sanitary sewer and water
main in Bumpus Addition. There was no one present wishing to be heard._ President pro tern Morris
declared the hearing officially closed.
Hearing on,construction Qf Sanitary sewer and water main in,18th 4venue Northwest
from Cascade Street to Lot 5, Allendale $ubdivision. Rev. B. J. Williamson was, present and
inquired if the total estimated cost of�the project, in the amount of $9100.00 would-be assessed
against this one lot; he also urged that this work be -expedited as soon as possible. C. A.
Armstrong explained that the $9100.00 was the total cost of the project but they would only be
charged according to their frontage. No one else was present wishing to be heard. President pro
. .
tem Morris declared the hearing officially closed.
Hearing on widening and repaving on 4th Avenue Southwest from West,Center Street to
3rd Street Southwest and on 2nd Street Southwest from 3rd Avenue Southwest to 250 feet west of
4th Avenue Southwest. A letter signed by Robert J. Thompson stating as follows was read:
"We will be unable to attend a hearing that is to be held next Monday night at
athe Council regarding the widening of "2nd.Street S. W. from 3rd Ave.-S.W. to.
250 feet west of 4th Ave. S.W.". This area has a public school, Coffman
Building, on one side of the street (north) and the Baptist Church and our
property on the South side. As we are the only private individual taxpayer
involved, we felt that we.should bring this matter to your attention.
In this highly congested traffic area, it is, no doubt, feasible to widen
this street, however, in consulting with the City Engineer's office we find
that:-
1. The proposal is for only 10 feet wider on each side. This, of course,
would not seem too logical in that the street sould be narrower than the
block south of the Clinic and would not"line up". It would seem too bad to
have to do this extra widening all over again in a few years when now would
be.the least expensive time.
2. The proposal calls for widening only from 4th Ave. West to the north -south
alley in the middle of the block. (Adjacent oo our property on thwest). This
would tend, it would seem, to cause a "bottleneck" of traffic. A.logical plan,
we feel, would be to carry this widening west to the end of the block - to
5th Ave. S. W. To widen only a portion of a block would seem impractical as
there would seem to be no benefits.
We realize that possibly a lack of sufficient funds no doubt:promted this
"cut off" in the middle of.a block. If so, we feel that the project whould
be dropped until funds are available in order to accomplish an improvement
which would be satsifactory-at its completion.
/s Robert J. Thompson"
Also a letter from the Regional Office of the Post Office Department, Minneapolis, stating that
the Congress of the United States makes no appropriation from which special assessments of
municipalities may be paid, even though the resulting improvements may bje of direct benefit to
r _
the Government, and therefore they have no funds from which this special assessment may be
paid, was read. Upon motion by Wilkus, second by DeVries, and all voting in favor thereof, the
letters were placed on file. There was no one present wishing to be heard. President pro tem
declared the hearing officially closed.

each heard, they said they felt the street was wide enough now, if. they -were widened the traffic
would be even heavier, they suggested that stop signs or signal lights be placed in this area
to aid pedestrians in crossing 6th Street. Upon motion by Wilkus, second by Stadler, and all
voting in favor thereof, the matter of signals or signs,in this area was referred to the Public
Safety Committee for study. Mr. John McGovern of 304 - 6th Street S. W. was present and inquired
as to the cost of this per front foot and also if sidewalk would have to be replaced. C. A.

on file:
"To the Mayor and.
Common Council
Gentlemen: -
In January, 1962, a job classification plan was presented this
Department.
We realize that pay and job classification plans are becoming more
and more prevalent in government agencies. Such plans can be benfecial
to both employee and the governing body, which is as it should be.
The proposed plan ista very comprehensive one which must have taken
considerable time and effort to prepare. The members of the Police
Department have had one month to study and approve this plan.
There have been meetings between the Common Council and the Police
Department's representatives and minor modifichtions have been made,
leaving the proposed plan not acceptable to the Police Department
employees. '
At this time we wish to request that the Police Department be
deleted from the plan until next year when other city departments are
included.
It is hoped that during this time we will be able to reach a
satisfactory modification of this plan.

`Honorable Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: Proposed Replat of Area from
5th Ave.-S.E. to 9th Ave: S.E.
and Bear Creek to Sth St. S.-E.
Gentlemen:
A Proposed Replat prepared by the City_ Planning and Zoning Commission,
covering several blocks of unimproved property extend ng east from 5th Ave. S.E.
and centering around 5th St. S. E. was referred to this committee last summer.
We have had the land that would have to be acquired for streets and parks .
purposes appraised and have estimated the cost of construction the proposed
street. On the basis of these figures'we do not feel that the project can be
supported by public funds at this time.
The plan as proposed by the Planning Department was presented as a guide
for the property owners to use in replanning and replatting this property in
order to give it a more desireable street layout, character, and ultimate value
than the existant grid pattern does. It appears that the owners have no
inclination to do so, but feel that they should either (1) be allowed -to
develop the land in accordance with the existant street.layout or (2) be paid
for any changes made,in the street layout.
We, recommend, that, in -as -much as the proposed improvement of this area
is principally for the benefit of the property itself rather than for,the
gaueral public, the responsibility for its improvement be left with the owner's.
If the property is developed according to the existing platting, it should
be noted that there are -also several problems to be dealt with. The streets
are not graded or surfaced and there are no sewers or water mains inplace.
There are also two residence buildings which will be practically buried or
impounded by the fill necessary to construct the streets. Part of 5th Ave.
will have to be relocated where it connects with 4th St. S. E.
Respectfully,
/s Frank J. Wilkus, Chairman
/s Harold DeVries
/s James R. Wilson"
