i Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 21, 1963 • 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 October 21, 1963. 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, McCaleb, Thomas. Absent: Alderman Wilson. Upon motion by-DeVries, second by Leonard, and all present voting in favor thereof, the minutes of the meeting of October 14, 1963 were approved. President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set -for receiving and opening bids for sanitary sewer extension in 17th Avenue Southwest (west frontage road) to Lots 18 and 19, Block 3, Westlawn Addition. The.bids of Ltttrup-Nielson Inc. in the amount of $3,565.75 and Carlisle G. Fraser, Inc. in the amount of $3,626.50 were each received and opened and upon motion by DeVries, second by Thomas, and all present voting -in favor thereof, the bids were referred to the -Public Works Committee and City Engineer for tabulation and -recommendation. President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for a hearing on sanitary sewer extension -in 17th Avenue Southwest (west frontage road) to Lots 18 and 19, Block 3, Westlawn•Addition. There was no one present wishing to be heard. President Tingley declared the hearing officially closed. President Tingley stated this as being the time and place set for a hearing on the condemnation proceedings to consider the report of Commissioners for taking permanent sanitary, sewer easements, temporary sanitary sewer construction easements, temporary easements for reshaping and straightening the water course and a temporary haulroad easement all in the South of -Sections 23 and 24, Township 107 North, Range 14 West.. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then outlined the report as submitted by the Commissioners. A letter signed by Lyndon Geselle which stated as follows was read: "We received your notice of the commissioners condemnation pro- ceedings. We think your awards are in line with previous easements over our property. There is one thing I would prefer; and that is, that -for a roadway down to the sewer line, you go in the gate at the North end of the field and then go South Easterly along the.reiver fence to the sewer. Also, with the septic tank situation and water -pollution -getting as bad as it is, I think the city should follow the precedent of the Peoples Natural -Gas Company. Where the gas line goes through the person's property, they have the right to hook onto the gas line. With the same token I think the city -should give the property owners the right to hook their residence onto the sewer. They.eventually will be hooked on sooner or later. This is far different than a rural resident, outside of the city wanting to hook onto the sewer. I plan on building a -residence for myself. It seems foolish to put a septic tank right beside the sewer line. Thanking you for any consideration you can give us along this line." C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that as far as the roadway was concerned, the only thing was to get a roadway to the highway and he thought this could be worked out; he said they had made tremendous use of this farm, it already had six lines across the property and if_any con- sideration is warranted it would be in this instance. Mr. Ehrick suggested that the designation of this haulroad as it is described in the resolution be kept as it is and allow the change to be worked out between Mr.Armstrong and Mr. Geselle,. The following were the awards as recommended rJ E 1 E 1 0 Record of Official Proceedings of the .Common Council 0 of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 21, 1963 9�1 S� F7=60252 11 1 11 by the Commissioners: Description Persons Interested Award Parcel Henry J.

The following letter ,signed by Carl Peterson, Manager of Blue.& White Cabs, was read and upon motion by Bergstedto second by DeVries, the same was referred to the Public Safety Committee: ?Honorable Mayor and Common Council City of Rochester Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: On Monday, October 7, 1963, charges were made by Don Swenson and T..A. Rose of the Northwest Airlines relative to conduct of taxi drivers at the airport and without naming one specific instance, date, or driver's name our company was referred to as the "worst offender". I have been in business in the City of Rochester for -over 18 years and during that time have enjoyed what I feel is a fine business reputation in the bus and cab business. For competitive reasons accusations have been made concerning the Blue & White Cab Company which I am certain are entirely -unfounded and are designed only to ultimately bar this company from airport -business and to grant a monopoly on this tusin on this business to the Yellow Cab Company of Rochester. Such a decision would be contrary to American business principals of free enterprise and would result in the public ultimately suffering from poor service and rates set not by competition but by the sole user company. If'there is a problem existing at the airport at the present time relative to the handling of passengers by cab drivers it cou&d be solved very readily by establishing a cab stand opposite the baggage racks on each side of the terminal and assigning one or two seats therein to a driver of each company who could then, if you.saw fit, be required to remain seated until requested by a passenger for service. Under existing circumstances, as I have pointed out to -you in an earlier communication, our cabs are placed in an area for from the Common.entrance to the terminal and as a result it -is impossible for an incoming passenger to determine if there is a cab service and where it might be unless and until he searches the entire grounds. This is not a business • like way of handling this situation and ultimately it is the passenger who suffers because he is unable to obtain prompt transportationto the downtown area, should he so desire. I sincerely believe that the passengers and citizens of Rochester are well served by the present cab system where they may leave the airport and journey'to any hotel, motel or medical facility in our city directly instead of being required to disembark at a prearranged point as is the case with bus service and then to go to the additional expense of renting a cab to seek their ultimate destination. I sincerely believe that the passengers and citizens of Rochester are well served by the present cab system where they may leave the airport and journey to any hotel, motel or medical facility in our city directly instead of being required to disembark at a prearranged point as is the.case with bus service and then go to the additional expense of renting a cab to seek their ultimate destination. At your October 7, 1963 meeting there was also'a statement made that taxi fares sometimes have been higher than advertised. In the case of Blue & White Cabs there has not been one situation brought to my attention where this,had occured and I assure you that I carefully supervise this element of our business. In summary I would ask the council for the same fair consideration that its members would want were they involved in a similar situation. There have been many documented charges of cab drivers blocking the passenger entrance nor have • there been any documented charges concerning our company and overcharges. I have frequently advertised our rates in the paper and in every cab there is a sign indicating this rate. I would be happy to have such a sign placed in the air terminal so that all incoming passengers could see it. I sincerely feel that rather than discriminate against a cab company, the council would be well advised to improve cab service for incoming passengers by allowing each company to use a cab stand located in an area where passengers can easily observe them. Secondly, I sincerely believe that adequate signs should be placed in the airport directing passengers desiring cab service to the outside cabs and adding the rates for such service. lastly, I would recommend that each cab company be allowed a maximum of one or two drivers who may be situated in the terminal opposite the baggage racks under well placed signs to engage their service. If the foregoing are accomplished.I am sure that passenger cab service would be greatly improved. Yours truly, BLUE .& WHITE CABS 1 /s Carl F. Petersen, Manager" Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council 6.85 of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 21, 1963 FY-.60252 1 :09 • 1 • 1 • A notice from the Upper Mississippi Pollution Control Committee of a Control Conference,to,be,held on Saturday, November 2, 1963,at Wabasha, Minnesota was read and President Tingley ordered.the same placed on file. The recommendation of the City, Planning and Zoning Commission stating that they had reviewed the existing land useage along 2nd Street S. W. from U. S. 52 to the west and find that the majority of this property is currently being used for various commercial enterprises, some of which are in the City and zoned for commercial use and some of which are in Rochester Township and zoned for commercial use; the property at 1814 - 2nd Street S. W. was in the Commercial District of Rochester,Township, however, when the property was recently annexed to the City it was automatically rezoned to the Residential District under the City's Zoning Ordinance and the Commission feels that in as much as this,area is now a.Commercial District that an amendment to the City Zoning. Ordinance should be made that will permit this property to be used lawfully for commercial purposes; the Committee therefore recommends that the Common Council initiate a change of zoning on the East 47 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Highland Addition from the Residential District to the Commercial District, was read. .Upon motion by Leonard, second by Thomas, and all present voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was accepted and a hearing on the proposed zone change was set for 7:30,o'clock P.

W. for a passenger loading zone in front of his premises and recommend that his request be denied as they feel that this problem is not unique and that precedent could be established which could cause a rash of similar type requests, was read. Upon motion by Thomas, second by Leonard, and all present voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the request denied. The recommendation of the Public -Safety Committee stating that in the interest of traffic ma ement and traffic safety, the Public Safety Committee recommends that parking be prohibited on the north side of 2nd Street N. W. between 3rd and 4th Avenues between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays, was read. Upon motion by _Leonard, second by Bergstedt, and all present voting in favor thereof, the recommendation was approved and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary resolution. The recommendation of the Public Safety Committee stating that in the interest of traffic movement and traffic safety, the Public Safety Committee recommends that the Public Utility Department make a study of the 1600 block on North Broadway to determine the necessity of additional street lighting at this location, was read. Upon motion by Leonard, second by McCaleb, and all present voting in favor thereof, the same was referred to President Tingley, a member of the Public Utility Board.

The recommendation of the Public Safety Committee stating that they had reconsidered the request of Mae Jacobs of 1004 Second Street Southwest for two (2) parking places in front of her residence and,business place and the Committee believes that the present passenger loading zone at this location is adequate and that her request for additional parking be denied as the Committee feels.that the street widening at this location does not modify the existing use, was except President Tingley who voted "no", read. Upon motion by Thomas; second by Leonard, -and all present voting in favor-thereof,/the recommendation was approved. - The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was readc "Honorable Mayor &.Common Council City of Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: In response to the request of the Rochester Board of Public,Health and Welfare that the residential suburban developments to the South of Rochester be permitted to connect to'the•City sewer systems, we-make'the following recommendations: "The City sanitary sewer and water facilities be made available only"upon annexation to the City.:" As a result of several months of study, deliberation and meetings with interested groups, the City and County Health Board,' and the State Municipal Commission; the report of Toltz, King, DuVal, Anderson & Assoc. on "Olmsted County and -City of Rochester Suburbari Sewer Study"; the "Outline of Alternative Solutions to Public Health Problems of Rochester Suburban Areas" prepared by the City Planning -Office, it is our considered opinion that the welfare and growth of Rochester and its surrounding suburban areas can best be served by continuing the past policy of'the City of providing sewer and water facilities only"to property within the City limits. Respectfully, /s Harold DeVries, Chairman Public Works Committee /s Larry McCaleb /s Wallace Thomas " Mr,. Jerry Recihert, a member of the.Board of Public Health & Welfare, ,stated that they had sent their recommendation to thg Council, they knew it was a big problem and there is no easy solution. He said he thought annexation was. the more orderly wag but thought this was going to take too long; he said he didn't think it made to much difference if it was the township or the City that did the work but it had to be done soon because every time someone builds a house and puts in a septic tank our problems mount. Mr.•Richard Boutelle who resides in the.DeWitt Addition, stated that they had about 50 homes inthis 4ddition and..were,serious_ly considering anriexation.to.the 1 u 1 • L 0 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council 687 of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 21, 1963 F7�60252 0 1 r� Ll City of.Rochester; one of the main questions they have is where their children will go to school and what would their cost for.sewer assessments be. He said they presented a_petition with 40 names to the Municipal Commission on September 26th , this Oas 40 out of about 49 hones, it was not a formal petition but he thought he could get that many name$ again on a formal petition. Mr. L. B. Stader, a member of the,Public Health & Welfare Board, was also present and stated that he hoped that this could be worked out soon; he said it was his understanding that the Water Pollution Commission hag the authority to order and to establish,a sanitary district which would have independent powers of its own; he said the Water Pollution Commission had indicated that they had not concerned themselves with the problem because they felt we were trying to solve it ourselves; but if they set up.a sanitary district it would be controlled by a Board made up of members from each of the subdivisions involved, here it would be one member from the City and one member from each of the four surrounding townships; he said he was afraid if we stop where we are now and do not try to reach a solution that a higher authority will impoge a solution on us.Alderman Thomas stated that the Public Works Committee realizes the problem and think that eventually annexation is the answer, the recommendation is simply restating the fact that we do not think services should be extended until annexation. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated in,his opinion annexation was the only solution; the town boards do not have the authority,to issue bonds to finance these,improvements like the City does; the most feasible way to finance them would be through annexation; he also explained that a petition to annex only had to have signatures of 50% of,the property owners of a given area. After a lengthy dis- cussion a 1potion was made by,DeVries, second by,McCaleb, that the recommendation be referred back tp the Public Works Committee for further elaboration,,to state the City's position in the matter more fully. All present,voted in favor thereof. The applications.of Elaine Alex and Alice M. Achten $Parkway Grill) for a license to sell soft drinks and a license to sell cigarettes were each read.

Rochester, Minnesota Dear Mr. Tingley: Enclosed please find a copy of the school budget for 1963-63 which the Board, of Education has just adopted. The Board of Education has had many meetings on this subject and they feel that this is the budget needed for the best operation of our schools. A copy of this budget is being sent to each Council member. At the earliest possible time, the Board of Education would like to meet with you and the other Council members to .explain the budget and answer any questions that you may have concerning the proposed expenditure. May we hear from you at your earliest convenience suggesting a date when you will hate time to consider,the school budget? • Sincerely, _ /s Jim Moon, Superintendent? Each Alderman also received a copy of the said budget. Alderman Leonard asked what the City's auth- 0 ority and responsibility in regard to passing on the school budget was. R. V. Ehl;ick, City Attorney explained that the City Charter,provides that school expenditures in excess of 5 mills for opera- tional costa dnd10 mills for building maintenance costs must have City Council approval, however, he said to the best of his knowledge no Council has ever rejected a school budget and have not reviewed it in detail or required the School Board to justiy its proposed expenditure. Alderman �o Leonard said he was not p sed"to the new budget but thought it was silly for the Council to pass on it when they did not know what it was all about; he also suggested that the Charter Commission review this Charter provision and maybe the School Board be given the final authority in setting its ' - c Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., October 21, 1963 69D FY=60252 1 C� 1 n U 1 levy.
