Minutes of an :adjourned regular meeting of the Common Council of the City of Rochester,
Minnesota, held in the Council Chambers in the City Hall, in said City, on January 21, 1963.
President Tingley called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'lcock P.'M., the following
members being present: President Tingley, Aldermen Bergstedt, DeVries, Leonard, Morris, Thomas.
Absent: Alderman Wilson.
Upon motion by Bergstedt, second by Thomas, and all present voting in favor thereof,.
the minutes of the meeting of January 7, 1963 were approved. ,
President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for hearings on the
following projects:
Hearing on repaving and widening of 3rd Avenue Southeast from 4th Street -Southeast to
12th Street Southeast. C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, then gave the following information:
Information
Hearing is on the proposed construction by City Engineer to widen the roadway to
44 .feet (curb to curb width). The present curb -to -curb widths are: 40 feet from
4th St. to 5th St. S.E.; and 30 feet from 5th St. to 12th St. S.E. The proposed
construction is concrete curb and gutter, concrete pavement, and concrete
sidewalk.
This will require removal of all boulevard trees. It will also require
relocation and reconstruction of all sidewalks which are 2'-8" from the property
line. All sidewalk except a few which have been rebuilt recently, are 2'-8"
from the property line.
The typical section proposed is a 44 foot roadway, 5 foot boulevard area, and
5'-4" wide sidewalk which will be within 8" from the property line. The property
line is 33 feet from the centerline of the right-of-way.
The 40' curb and gutter between 4th and 5th Street was constructed in 1951 but
the roadway was not repaved at that time. The 44' width is recommended to
accomodate traffic needs in this block, despite the relatively recent construction
of this curb and gutter.
The estimated assessments to property owners, according to Street Improvement
Assessment Policy would be as follows:
Commercial and
Residential Multiple Dwelling
Property Property
Between 5th St. and 12th St. S.E.
Curb and Gutter and Paving 6.00 per lin.ft. 9.00 per lin. ft.'
plus cost of replacing
condemned sidewalk 2.75 per lin.ft. 2.75 per lin. ft.
Between 4th St. and 5th St. S. E.
Paving only 3.00 per lin. ft. 6.00 per lin. ft.
plus cost of replacing
condemned sidewalk 2.75 per lin. ft. 2.75 per lin.ft.
Note: Property Owners would be assessed for sidewalk construction only where the
present condition of the sidewalk is hazardous, and would require
replacement because of its condition.
The cost per linear foot of the proposed construction is about $60. The above
assessment.to abutting property will provide roughly 17% of the cost of the project
or $50,000.
$150,000 will be from the 1957 Street Improvement Bond Issue, and $70,000 from
the 1963 State Aid Allocation, making up the total project cost of $270,000.
Mr. D. B. Hunt of 1026 - 3rd Avenue S.E.; Mr. Theodore Anderson of 910 - 3rd Avenue S. E.;
M
Mr. Ervin Miller of 921 - 3rd Avenue S.E.; Mr. C. E. Bushee representing the Bethel Lutheran

Avenue Southeast; he suggested that the Council consider making 3rd Avenue a one-way street and
then Oerhaps 4th Avenue Southeast a matching one-way; he said it takes a lifetime to grow trees..like
are along 3rd Avenue and felt they should be preserved. Mr. Theodore Anderson stated that he had
never been inconvenienced by any lack of ability to get back and forth downtown and felt that it
was not necessary to widen 3rd Avenue to take care of traffic. All other speaking also opposed the
widening of 3rd Avenue at this time and recommended that consideration be given to making it a
one-way street. E. C. Bather, Jr. reported that they had made a traffic count on 3rd Avenue S.E.
which showed that there were 6000 to 8000 cars traveling here everyday and they felt this
warranted improvements to 3rd Avenue. After hearing those present, President.Tingley declared the
•
hearing officially closed. A motion was then made by Alderman Thomas that the project be
initiated and that the street width be set at 40 feet; Alderman,Bergstedt seconded the motion
and upon roll call Bergstedt, DeVries, Leonard, Morris and Thomas voting "aye" and President
Tingley voted "no". R. V. Erhrick, City Attorney, reported that a Council initiated project
required a 4/5 vote gf,thg entire Council and only five of the seyen,members voting "aye", the
motion was declared lost.
Mr. John Perkins. -of the Gold Cross Ambulance Service was present and inquired if
specifications had been prepared for ambulance service in the City of Rochester, and again
informed the Council that they had run out of funds and would have to be subsidized.if they were,
to continue in operation. Alderman Berstedt stated that he was not convinced that the citizens
of Rochester should subsidize an ambulance service, egpecially when a local ambulance service
will give us the service without charge; at the present time the Olmsted County Medical Association
has a committee of Doctor's looking into this problem and they are to report back as to specifi-
cations and as to the gaality of ambulance service this City and County need. R. V. Ehrick,
City Attorney, reported that he had talked to Dr. Vikior 0. Wilson, Heaith Officer, and he advised

Dear Sir:
As you know, the Interstate Commerce Commission required the Chicago and
North Western Railway Company to continue operating its passenger trains 400-401
between Chicago and Minneapolis and 518-519 between Chicago and Mankato, for a
year. The Chicago and North Western Railway Company has now again petitioned
the Interstate Commerce Commission to discontinue these trains upon the grounds
of extreme loss in the operation, which they claim, I believe, to be greater than
a million dollars.
Our Commission opposted this abandonment, but what we would like to know
is just what -is the position of the various municipalities at the present time.
Are the municipalities going to actively oppose this abandonment and if so, do
they wish the Commission to intervene as a party?
Will you please advise. .
Very truly yours,

Acting Secretary"
