"Miss Elfreda Reiter
City Clerk
Rochester, Minnesota Re: Traffic Investigation TH 63
(North Broadway) and it's
intersection with 5th & 6th Street
Dear Miss Reiter:
The Common Council requested by resolution passed on August 5, '1963 that
the Minnesota Highway Department undertake a study of the traffic conditions
at the above locations.
The'requested studies have been completed along with a check of the
accident frequency data for this location. The intersections of 5th Street
and 6th Street North Broadway do not have sufficient traffic volume to
satisfy the warrants as outlined in the Uniform Traffic Control Devices Manual.
Specifically warrants require 900 vehicles per hour on TH 63, and 75 vehicles
per hour on 5th & 6th Streets for each of 8 hours in an average day.
A review of the accident frequency along'this route indicates that the
commercial entrances are causing the accidents in a majority of instances.
The operation of these intersections have been observed during this study
from the speed control point of view. We feel the desired degree of platooning
and speed control is provided by the signal system adjacent to this area at 7th
Street and North Broadway.

w
was noted: "Although specific salary figuret appear in the column headed
'Approved 1964-5", this is actually a budgeted amount, not an
approved amount. Salaries differ in this regard from all other
items in this budget, such as general expense, capital outlya,
etc., which are approved as shown. Salaries are set 1-1-64 and
may differ when finally set, from the amounts shown in this
budget. The reason for including salaries in this budget is
for the purpose of providing monies, through tax levy, for use
when salaries are actually set."
Mayor Smekta stated that before the Council decided to pass the budget, they wanted to give
the Department Heads and Boards the opportunity of looking over the budget; he complimented
the Coundil and Department Heads on the work they had done on the budget and when you break
down and analyze the proposed budget.you realize that there is not too much of an increase and
that means that everyone made a point of t0trimming your sails"; he then turned the meeting
over to Burton Baker, Finance Officer, who reviewed the budget, page by page with the exception
of the salary'itemS. 'Mr. John Bakke, Personnel Director,'then'made some comments on the salary
question; he said'they had gathered a great deal of information on salaries in all businesses
iri Rochester and surrounding areas and had tried to evaluate this data as it pertains-- to city
employees; he said the Personnel Advisory Committee has had numerous meetings'with various
groups and have made some recommendations and would have some more this week; 'he said they had
some outside assistance in classifying professional and administrative jobs and hoped to have a
report on those by November 15th; Mr. Bakke.said there was approximately $70;000.00 which has
been provided for possible salary increases, they hoped this would take of several things (1)
merit siep increase for several hundred classified people (2) possible cost of living factor
(the cost of living is up over-lk% over'the last 12 months) and (3) this would provide wage
increase for people now to be blassified. Dr. Viktor Wilson, Health Officer, asked where the
0

money will be provided for unclassified personnel and salaries. He was told that it was not
listed as a lump sum but is built into every department budget and is listed in most cases under
the salary allowance figure, that is why the variance in the budgets and that is why we wanted
to caution you that this was not the approved salary.

was the proper place for multiple dwelling and thought it reasonable to assume that this would

the community; he said the plans were to have fourplex and sixplex and would have 100-125 units
with probably 2k to 3 persons per -unit and the majority would probably be couples; he said there

apartment house. Mayor Smekta inquired about the flood situation on this property and C.A.
Armstrong, City Engineer, stated that this had been known to flood but he assumed that they would
build high enough but said the City has no control over whether they fill it up or not. Mrs.
Boyd shaed pictures of flood situations in this areaadd Mr. Rinowski said he felt filling it
up would create more flooding on their property. There was no one else wishing to be heard so

homes out here because it was away from all congestion ar}d hoped they could keep it this way.

uction of cottage -type apartment building in conformity with the general development plan. Mr.
