"The Honorable Mayor and Members
. of the Common Council
Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
At a recent meeting of the Board of Public Health and Welfare, while we were
discussing problems of the care of the Public Health Center building, a
suggestion was made that it would be useful for the City to have centralized
building management.
A quick count by the group at the Board meeting, indicated that the City has
26 or more buildings and other structures, including the ball park grandstand,

park shelters, well houses, etc. It seemed that instedd of distributing
the care of these buildings to a number of people, centralized building
management could provide qualified supervision and qualified training
of custodians, thus resulting in improved maintenance. Other benefits
and economies appeared to be possible.such as_timely repairs, centralized
pruchasing, quantity purchasing, etc.
.The Board of Public Health and Welfare is.sending this suggestion along -
for the consideration of the Common Council.
Sincerely yours,
/s Malcolm K. Campbell, M.D.
President, Board of Public

Zoning Commission:
"Honorable Mayor and.
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: Preliminary Plat of Country Club
Manor 9th Addition
Gentlemen:
Our preliminary plat was approved by the Council provided thatall lots above 1100
feet be made into 1 large lot on each side of 3rd Street N. W. and that we should
submit a written_ agreement to the City prohibiting building on these lots above
1100 feet until the high level water system is developed.
Upon considering the Council's approval, your condition would cause installment
of 185 feet of street, sewer, water mains and a pressure reducing valve for an
approximate cost of $10,500. This street requires maintenance.by the City and
would be of no benefit as of such time as the high level water system is constructed.
•
If we were to plat into 1 large lot, a future replat would be required or wplitting
by metes and bounds which is undesirable.
Therefore, we request that the plat be -altered per attached sketch and to exclude
these lots at the present time until such time'as feasible to develop the lots west
of this area.
Yours truly,
JOHNSON; DRAM & PIPER, INC.
/s E.. L. Forbrook, Asst. Secretary"

The following letter from Mayor Alex P. Smekta was read:
"Members of the Common Council
.City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
At its second meeting in July, 1963 the Council referred a letter to me, critical of
the operation of the City Planning Office. As a result, a hearing was scheduled which
was attended by the critics, and a second hearing was held at which'their charges were
answered.
It is unfortunate that a dedicated public servant found himself in the position of being
publicly "tried", in a sense. This was not the intent of the hearings. The progressive
erosion of confidence in planning was taking place. The citizens were confused. We hope
the hearings we have had with critics, with the Planning Director, and with the Planning
and Zoning Commission and interested citizens of Rochester will clear all doubts about
the purpose of sound planning and orderly development of our community. We have a
responsibility to the citizens of Rochester to let them know what is going on -in this
area which is so vital to their future well-being.
Based on the information presented at the hearings, and my personal investigation, it
is my conclusion that the planning Director is a dedicated public servant whose professional
integrity is -clearly -established. We do hope that procedural changes can be -instituted
which will advance the cause of good planning and development of this city.
The Council, the Mayor, and the citizens -owe a debt of -gratitude to the Members of the
Planning and Zoning Commission who have worked these many years in our behalf. We are
in the midst of a tremendous planning project. Let us use every talent and'.energy
at our command to gain the cooperation of each citizen group. This will insure our -fine
city a rich and wholesome future.
It is my recommendation that no further action be taken on the charges and the matter be
dropped.
Respectfully,
/s Alex P. Smekta, Mayor"
A motion was then made by DeVries, second'by Thomas, that the recommendation of the Mayor be appro-
dved and the matter be dropped. Upon roll -call Bergstedt, McCaleb, Wilson and Tingley voting "no"
and DeVries, Leonard and Thomas voting "aye", President Tingley declared the motion lost.
Alderman-Bergstedt stated that the Council had never miet and discussed this and felt that they
should do this before final action was taken. Alderman McCaleb also stated that he felt if they
did not meet on this further'that they would still have dissatisfied people. A motion was then
made by Leonard, second by McCaleb, that the Mayor's letter be*received by this body. A motion
was then made by Leonard, second by Thomas, and upon roll call all voted in favor thereof, that
the Council fecess for a short time. The meeting was called to order again at 9:10 P.M. with all
members being'present. A motion was then made by Bergstedt, second by McCaleb; that the Mayor's
letter and recommendation be accepted.- All voted in favor of the motion.
