park should include ballfields, picnic facilities, playground equipment, tennis and hockey
facilities and rest rooms. President Tingley inquired how they proposed to finance such a large
facility. .Mr..Quiel said the residents felt this should be borne by city wide participation

financed in this way. After hearing those present a motion was made by Thomas that this.petition'
was received and referring the same to the Board of Park Commissioners and to the Planning and
'Zoning Commission. Bergstedt seconded the motion and all present voted in favor thereof.

"City Council of Rochester
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
It was my original intention -to personally appear before the City
Council this evening, but that seems to produce a disagreeablemeness all
around. So instead, am addressing this registered letter for purposes
of establishing a record. The letter is in two parts.
First, I am making a formal request that the assessment information
concerning my own properties, as outlined in attached questionnaire, be
filled in and returned to me. For your information, the 1962 assessment
records - at least on.my properties - have not yet been submitted to the
County Assessor's office. Until this is done, according to State Laws,
any assessment figures on record at City Hall,.are neither valid or legal.
I would like'to protect my interests before higher authorities, hence
this request. I will -expect this information within a week.
~Second, for the enlightnment. of the City Council and also its legal
staff,, I am attaching•hereto a digest of the laws relating to the
handling of assessments as the situation currently applies here in
Rochester.
Sincerely,
/s H. S. Patterson"

rapidly than normal,'that is if temperatures reach the 50's or highdr during
afternoons and remain high throughout the night and if substantial rains fall,

interests should -be alerted for a rapid rise. At this time anyone that could
be affected by high water should'make the necessary preliminary precautions
they .feel are necessary.

The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was read_and upon motion
by Leonard, second by Thomas, and all voting in favor thereof, the letter was referred to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for the purpose of coordinating with the other discussion on
parks that we hope will take place between the Council and Park Board; -also the sketch
submitted showing the proposed park.in.Allendale was presented:
"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
and
The Common -Council of Rochester
Gentlemen:
As per your instructions, we have evaluated the request for Park playgrounds in
Northwest Rochester. We fully realize that it would be desirable to have a
park playground within one-half mile of each residence as prescribed in the
Ladislas-Segoe.Associates report. We do have a'small park in Elton Hills.'
Immediately north of that a short distance is the Elton Hills School, with
some playground area. Immediately north of that, approximately two blocks, is
a very small piece of property that was dedicated to the City as playground.
This is not large enought to develop anything in the form of an.athletic
activity field. The balance of the Crescent Park Addition is of such rolling
terrain that it is impractical to construct a park playground on it, even
though the geographic distances are such that we felt it quite essential that
we do this.
Immediatelynorth of the Crescent Park Addition is the Bel Air Addition.
Again it would be very desirable to have a playground space located within this
area. But, again, the terrain is such that it would be very costly. to provide
drainage; and grade into useable shape.
In Rolling Greens Addition there is no playground space, so consequently we
have decided that we can best serve the population in this.total area by
developing a useable park acreage in the Allendale Addition.
In the center of this area there is a tract not presently built'on. This,
we feel, could be graded to make good playfields, as well as some park acreage
that would be useable for small childrens areas and .possibly picnic grounds.
The area we have outlined on the enclosed plat would eliminate the need for
the construction of two sections of street, and a very small change in the
general plan. We feel -that with this piece of property.we would be able to
more nearly take care of the populous of this region than with any other
arrangement we have been able to arrive at.
Consequently we ask that you make arrangements to acquire this piece of
property for park purposes.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
/s T. M. McDonnell"

they felt this would.fill out the periphry of the intersection for commercial use, that these two
lots from the boundary line of the platted area with the city limits and feel the change in
zoning to commercial of these two lots will be a buffer for the multiple dwelling area south of
this property; he said at present the petitioners had no pland as to what would be constructed on
this property. After hearing those present a motion was made by Leonard, second by Thomas, that

"To the Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the Common Council
City,of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
y We the undersigned members of the Finance Committee, recommend that the
request of the Park Board that Mr. Malcolm McDaniel be employed at the Auditorium
as "Assistant to Stage and Maintenance Director" at 100% of the base'salary of
$5,666 per year be granted. Numerous factors are involved, -including several
years of experience on the part of Mr. McDaniel in this work, and we believe that
his employment by means of-this.salary concession will be•to the advantage of -the
City.
Further, we recommend that the Park Board's request regarding the raasing of
the salary of Mr. Roland Cole, Auditorium "Stake and Maintenance Director" to
1007. of the base rate of $6,143 upon the completion of '12 months of service be
denied. This is in no way an adverse judgement of Mr. Cole as we believe his
performance to be highly satisfactory. However, we fail to find sufficient
extenuating circumbtances to warrant deviating from the 18-month salary policy
In this case. }
Respectfully,
/s Stanley M. Morris.
