Smekta City Hall Rochester, Minnesota Dear Sir: Herewith is the report of the Mayor's Committee which was Appointed to make a study of the sound system for the Mayo Park Band Stand. .1. The original specifications as supplied to the City in July 1962 appeared to this committee to be so narrow in scope that comparative bidding was discouraged. 2. This committee held numerous meetings to discuss the problem and study several brands of competitive equipment. Three different experts in the field were kind enough to meet with us at different times and give us the benefit of their experience. As a final step, an actual system was set up at the Band Stand using borrowed equipment of the type specified. This permitted an on -the -spot evaluation of requirements. 3. As a result, the specifications have been rewritten in a broader form with the intent -that no suitable equipment will be excluded. At the same time, no compromise has been made with the original intent of the Music Committee -to obtain the finest possible sound reinforcement system. This committee recommends that the enclosed specifications be substituted for :the original. The system as specified has ample power output for future expansion. If extended coverage of the area is required in the future, this may be effected simply by the addition of.more speakers. 4. The committee further recommends that the usual method of advertising for bids be augmented by mailing these specifications directly to several.suppli:ers,.

In seeking property in this'area of the city, we sought to buy 4-5 acres of land in a suitable location for a church site. We were unable to find that much property, so we purchased the present property of 2.65 acres, which was the least amount of desired land. 2. Our present building is only the first of a projected four -unit design. 3. If'we are to prvvide off-street parking, we must have sufficient property to handle the expected growth. Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., . June 3, .19.63 rr=eozsz 4. Our plans for the property are not limited to only building and parking facilities. We envision a recreation (church centered) program cE our own. 5. A park located next to the church building would cause.a considerable number of problems with the worship services'of the church (especially during daylight saving time). 6. At the time of the annexation,'it was proposed to cut up Allendale Addition into streets, which would have affected our property. We.opposed this plan at that time,(and we still do). The Planning Commission.recommended annexation with the right to construct a -street on the west end of the property if deemed advisable. We agreed to that proposal (and we still do) and the city council approved our annexation. '7. It is our opinion that any further land less would force us to move from our present location. 8. We are of the opinion that the city could secure a park site on the east side of 18th Avenue N. W. which would not involve as many people or an established church. • A copy of a letter signed by H. S.

He 'addressed attention to an 18 page petition addressed to Mr. Roland F. Hatfield, State Commissioner of Taxation, dated May 4th, 1963 wherein are listed the names of owners and the description of property they feel has been improperly assessed; he said each member of the City Council including the Mayor of Rochester, has been asked to sign this petition on the ground . that the inequities of assessment called to their attention would prompt them to fulfill their oath of office to follow the laws of the State and City Charter and it was a matter of record that not a single City Councilman, nor the Mayor, would sign his name to see that the laws are upheld and followed. He further stated that he felt a complete re-evaluation,of land and build- ings in Rochester is evident and necessary and until values of all real-estate are equalized it is impossible to determine the true assessed value of his real estate in Rochester and until this is done I hereby refuse to make any further real-estate tax payments on property owned by him. Alderman Thomas stated that -he was not contacted or requested to -sign such a request as stated in the above letter, and thereby takes exception to his statement. A motion was then made by Leonard, second by Thomas, and all voting in favor thereof, that this letter be referred to the Board of Equalization. • A letter from Alfred Nelsen, City Assessor, requesting the Council, particularly the Finance Committee, to make an appraisal of the following salary ,requests and grant approval of the adjustments to the following classifications;owas read: Deputies Vernon Anderson and Leonard Teigen to be classified as Class II Appraisers, along with Wayne TerVeer classified as Class It Appraisers, along with And the salary adjusted to Class 30 Step G.
