President Tingley then gave the following address:,
"May I First present to you your three newly elected Aldermen. Without doubt
the refusal of Mr. Stadler and Mr..Wilkus to again serve as an Alderman will.be
considered a loss to Rochester. However, "Its an Ill Wind that blows no one good"
and such high type replacements is.fortunate indeed. Alphabetically around the
table, would the new members please stand as their name is called, Wm. C.."Bill"
Bergstedt from the 4th Ward; David Leonard from the 2nd Ward; and Wallace "Wally"
Thomas from the 6th Ward. Mr. Leonard, although elected for the first time had
.
been serving out the unexpired term of Dr. Ray Gifford, under appointment by the
Bommon Council. ,Alderman Bergsted, Alderman Leonard and Alderman Thomas ----
Welcome Aboard.
The past year has been a busy one. Much progress has been shown, many
projects have been completed and many more started.
.In 1961 our Airport was dedicated, part of the downtown street lighting system
was completed and the balance is now under contract. Completion of plans for a
downtown parking ramp have been finalized, and a public works program of great
magnitude is either completed or under way. Major among the many completions, is
the Northwest passage, 5th Street Northwest, and llth Avenue Northeast -Southeast
improvement. Not tomention the many state aid streets, the dog house and kennels,
and other less noticeable achievements.
Severd large annexations have taken place, such as Golden Hill, West Zumbro,
in addition to many other smaller areas. I
Yes, Gentlemen of the Council, 1961 was a busy and productive year but 1962
.will give you little change to rest on your laurels.
During the past year the City purchased a large tract of property for use as
a park. A levy was. set aside and earmarked for -the purchase. of the Minnesota
State Highway Buildings. These properties should be made use of at the first
available opportunity. Centralized purchasing,.motor pool, equipment usage, all
are certainly items worth your careful consideration during the ensuing year.
The past week he s'br.ought.vividly to our attention the inadequate sewerage
system in -Southeast Rochester, and our inability to cope with anything above
normal flooding conditions in the areas of Cascade Creek, Bear Creek,and the
areas along the Zumbro. _ I wish to strongly recommend to the $ublic Works .
Committee and the Council as a whole, that immediate steps be taken that a study
be made or our troubled areas and that definite action be taken to eliminate the
constant threat to the many homes.in these areas. Be it channel widening,
dredging, retaining walls, sewer pumping station, or whatever a comprehensive
•
study might reveal as necessary to protect our homes. I ask you to give -this
high priority on public works projects.
During the past year, much work has been done by our City Clerk and City
Attorney to modernize, index, and place proper amendments in our Charter, in
fact to make our charter far more useful and up to date. The next few weeks
should produce the results desired. Our Charter Commission has been reactivated
and much study is being given possible and requested revisions.
Over the past several years the City of Rochester has acquired specialists
in many of the major departments of our.City Government, such as Finance,
Personnel, Recreation, Public Works Maintenance, Utilities, not to mention
approximately $100,,000.00 in non -permanent assistance to the Assessor and
Planning Director. Let me say that, in most cases, the assistance and help
rendered to the members of the Council has been substantial, as has been the.
many and various Advisory Boards and Commissions serving without compensation.
.Time, Ladies and Gentlemen:,does not allow me. -to delve too deeply into
past or future projections, for they are varied and many. Each new day seems
to bring.6orth new problems for the Council to study and solve if possible.
In conclusion, I would like to leave"you all with this thought, and I
might add this .is stolen from the desk of the Personnel Director, "Are You
Here to Help Solve the Problem, or to become Part of It?"

•
• Mayor Smekta then spoke to the Council, in part as follows:
1962 has been a year of action. In reminiscing I,find the City through
its Council has accomplihhed,a great deal. 48 city blocks of street paving;
installation of new, lighting system on Broadway; the devebpment.of a new i
parking ramp in downtown Rochester; the dedication of the new Municipal Airport
which insures adequate air transportation for the present and at least 20
years hence; acquisition of 175 acres from the State of Minnesota to be
dedicated as a new park, which will not only heap in the recreation program
but will also entice people traveling to or through Rochester.,
i am pleased to see the Civir Defense Ordinance adopted and the continued
progress that is evident in the personnel department.'.These and many more `
accomplishments are an example of 'the progress during'1961.
In accepting the offices to which we have been'elected, especially the
three new Councilmen, we have asst;ned the responsibility of leadership and
all its related problems. In looking to the future, I would again reiterate
one of the problems'that I called'attention to last years Council. Namely,.
flood control along the Zumbro and Bear Creek. We fully realize That the
• flood can be construed as an act of God. Nevertheless, we would be derelict
in our duty if we did not take it upon ourselves to instigate.f lood control
' if it'is at all possible. May I suggest to the members of the Council that a
committee be formed which will not only include members of the Council, but
lay citizens to study flood control with a full report to the City Council.

U
A number of weeks ago, I suggested and recommended to the Council that a
study be made of the "blighted areas" in Rochester with the thought in mind
that an urban renewal committee be formed with authority to make recommendations
to the Council in order that we may stop the spread of these "blighted areas".
I again recommend that.
With Rochester growing every year and with visitors coming to our city, we
are faced with more traffic problems. It is evident that we instigate a street
widening project to expedite the movement of traffic.
Shortly, the Park Department will ask for an opportunity to visit with the
Council on the plans for development of the 175 acres purchased from the State
of Minnesota. Your cooperation will expedite the development of this park.
During the past three years, we have urged the Council to set up a Central
Purchasing Agency. In visiting with the County Commissioners, we find that they
too are interested. .,Possibly a -committee composed of City, County and School
officials would come up with a'solution of a Central Purchasing Agency that
would embody the three -forms of government, that is, City, County and School
which would save "Mr. -Taxpayer" a great deal of money.
. May I -suggest that the -Ways -and Means Committee of the Council make a
thorough survey of City Hall with the idea of readjusting or relocating
city departments within the city hall.
During the past two months the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
Council have been meeting weekly to study and iron out the difference in the
Comprehensive Plan. .May I urge a quick conclusion and adoption of this plan.
As Mayor, It has been a privilege to work with the past Council I am
looking forward to the opportunity of working with you this coming year.
.The challenges and responsibilities are great. There is no question in my
mind in the infinite wisdom of this Council in solving these problesms."
Mayor Smekta then introduced Bue Fjermeros,.Governor of Nordland, one of Norway's three
northernmost provinces. The Governor, who is in the United States to try to learn the details
of the workings of the various governments of the state, local and national level, spoke
briefly to the Council.

Dear Sirs:
.This letter is being written on behalf of Thomas E. Slatterly a Captain
employed in the Police Department of Rochester, Minnesota.
Although Mr.'Slatterly has not received what we consider an official
• notice of termination of employment, consultations with the City Personnel
Director, the Chief of Police, the Police Civil Service Commission and the
City Attorney, together with various local news items, would appear to
indicate that Mr. Slatterly is being involuntarily retired effective as of
the last day of March, 1962.
Mr. Slatterly has informally rquested the Civil Service Commission to
consider his rights under the Veterans' Preference Acts of the State of
Minnesota, and in the absence of receiving some firm decision as to his
status, we are forwarding this letter of demand.
Thomas E. Slatterly demands of the City of Rochester and the Police
Civil Service Commission, that they refrain from any attempt to terminate
his employment with the Rochester Police Department until such time as his
termination shall be in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota.Statutes
Annotated, Section 197.46 as amended by Laws 1961, Chapter 56.6, Section 1.

Tou and each of you are -hereby notified that -unless Thomas E. Slatterly
shall receive written confirmation from the Police Civil Service Commission
that he is to be continued in service and that he will not be placed in
retirement, that we will be forced to petition the District'Court of Olmsted
.County, Minnesota for a writ of mandamus pursuant to the aforementioned'

Commissioner Tingley further moved that this-recommendation.be made on.the basis_
of the letter of explanation submitted by Ellerbe & Company addressed to the
Rochester Airport Commission and dated October 30, 1961, and a copy pf Ellerbe &
Company's letter of explanation be submitted to the Common Council.
Respectfully,
/s Alex P. Smekta, Chairman
Rochester Airport Commission" '
The following letter of explanation submitted by Ellerbe & Company was also read:
"Rochester Airport Commission
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We have reviewed -the contract dates, notices to proceed, -starting time, substantial
completion and the amount of time overrun or underrun. To assist in clafification
of these times and schedules, we have prepared a date chart plus a bar graph to
better illustrate the amount of time as stated in the contract and the actual time
needed for completion. In studying these charts it becomes apparent that most of
the time overrun occurred in the construction of the terminal building and in the
field lighting. The terminal building with Krause -Anderson as the general
contractors, Kirchof the mechanical and Neitz the electrical, had a time overrun
of approximately four months.. This -.was due to several factors which are as follows:
Terminal -Building
Mr. Enz showed six weeks due.to weather and -steel strike as of February, 1960,
however, Krause -Anderson asked for a time extension of 4 months by letter,
February 16, 1960, giving as reasons:
l.. Unseasonable weather, substantiated by Weather Bureau reports,
• photostated, (90 days).
2. Steel strike lasting 117 days which also affected material suppliers
and subcontractors.
3.. Some interference by other contractors (especially Kirchof in testing
his piping before plastering could start). -
Subsequent to the letter of February 16, 1960, there was an overhead door co. strike
lasting 6 weeks, sheet metal strike for 2 weeks and a terrazzo workers strike of
3 weeks.
The next most noticeable time overrun occurred in the field and taxiway lighting, the
reasons for the delay in these two contracts are as follows:
Field Lighting
•
8 weeks delay by weather
- 6 weeks delay in final testing
Taxiway Lighting
6 weeks delay due to weather. ,
According to the general provisions of the specifications concerning liquidated
damages, the scope of the liquidated damges is limited to the extra cost of field
supervision and inspection resulting from failure to complete on schedule.
Referring to the bar graph the supervision cost during the overrun period should
be divided among all the categories of work which were taking place during this
pbriod. The clearing and the grubbing, the safety and farm fencing, the runway
sealing, the field lighting and the -taxiway lighting would have required the
supervisors to be on the job even if the terminal building and field lighting had
been completed on shcedule.
We recommend in light of the above reasons that the Rochester Airport Commission
and the City of Rochester Common Council waives all liquidated damages on the
portions'of the work listed in the accompanying charts except for that work
included in the contract with the Renner Well Company.
Sincerely,
/s Vernon Behm"
A motion was then made by DeVries, second by Bergstedt, that.the recommendation of the Airport
•
Commission be approved and the liquidated damages on the projects listed in their recommendation

President Tingley called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock P. M., the following
members being present: President Tingley, Aldermen Bergstedt,.DeVries, Leonard, Morris, Thomas,
Wilson.'
President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for a hearing on the
vAcation'of the north and south alley in Block 1, Conley's Addition. Mrs. Ruth Tauer was present
and stated that she owned a lot at 508.- 9th Avenue Northwest and qondered if this would affect
her lot. Tom 0. Moore, Planning Director, explained that this alley was one block east of her
property and would not affect hers property. There was no one elese present wishing to be heard.
President Tingley declared the hearing officially closed. A motion was then made by Wilson, second
by Leonard, and all voting in favor thereof, that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a
resolution vacating the said alley.
Mayor Smekta presented a letter from the American Municipal Association in which
they requested support of the Inter -American Municipal Organization. He said the membership fee

associations of municipalities in.the South American countries. A motion was made by Wilson,
second by Morris, that the membership fee of $50.00 be allowed. All voted in favor thereof.
Mr. Gene Thompson of 1126 - 7th Avenue S. W. was present and requested that the
Council take immediate action toward alleviating any further threat of spring flooding. He said
his basement and that of his neighbor Jules Benke had been washed out and many of the others in
this area were flooded. He said they had requested action last year but nothing had been done and
in the meantime a dyke had beeenbuilt on the Zumbro River to protect Soldiers Field but they felt
this dyke was causing more water to come their way because it was so much higher than their homes;
he said they were but a small group but they would be back and be back in a larger group; he urged
that something bedone immediately. Also present and heard were Mr. Charles Matthew of 1130 --7th
Avenue S.W.; Mrs. Norman Goldstein of 1111 - 7th Avenue S. W.; Mr. Norman Kuyath of 1120 - 7th
Avenue S.W. Mr..Leon Shapiro, Realtor, also spoke urging that action taken and particular}•
recommended that the dyke on the east side of the river be taken down. Mr. Robert Campbell of
1025 - 4th AvenueSoubeast and Mr. Basil Thompson of 1006 - 4th Avenue Southeast were present about
their basements being filled caused by the plugging of the storm sewer in this area. Mayor Smekta
offered that he would call Seanator Hubert Humphrey and'Representative Albert Quie to see if there
was not some possible way to get Federal or State Aid on this flood control; he also questioned the
City Engineer if he would be able to make a study or survey of the. situation. Ca.,A.,Armstrong
City Engineer, stated that he did not fAel he*was qualified to make a study of flood conditions,
he also stated that he thought 8iey should hire a qualified engineer but this would probably cost in
the neighborhood of about $50,000.00. President Tingley stated that-this.was a larger problem than

just this one particular area, it_was city wide; he suggested that the Mayor go ahead and contact
Senator Humphrey and Representative Quie to see if we can get Army Engineers or whatever he can
t
do, at least find out what we can do; he suggested that the Council instruct the City Engineer
to take any temporary action that will tend to help these conditions, he said he realized that
within the next week or ten days there might be another flood and knew they could not solve the
•
problems in that short time but there might be something that can be done to help temporarily;
he also suggested that the Public Works Committee take immediate steps to start action to take'
care of the entire situation and take immediate steps to try to eliminate future flooding in
these areas., After two and one-half hours of discussion,a motion was made by DeVries, second by
Leonard, that the City Engineer make a survey of the dyke on the east side of the river and have
members of the Park Board present at the Public Works Committee meeting,on Wednesday night and
they would then consider this problem further. All voted in favor of the motion.
