of the Common Council
Gentlemen:
This Board of Health has been concerned for some time finding a replace-
ment for Dr. John Weinberg, Clinical Psychologist of the Mental Health
Center, who resigned in May, 1963. The opportunity has raised to fill
this position with Dr. Jean Holroyd who would be available for this job
on October 1. Doctor Holyrod at the present time is employed in the
;Mayo Clinic and her husband has been appointed as a member of the staff
of the Clinic. Doctor Holyrod lives outside the city limit's and does
not have any future plans to move to the City.
The funds for the opearation of the Mental Health Clinic are borne from
state (50%), city and county budgets. For this reason, the Board of
Health estimates that the requirement of city residency could be waived
among the Mental Health Clinic personnel, at least,in the same percent
as the participation of the local money (70% city, 30% county). For the
above reason, this is to request of the Common Council that the require
ment of city residency be exempted for 30% of the Mental Health Clinic

Mayor Smekta then read the following letter:
"Honorable Alex Smekta, Mayor
City of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor Smekta:
Since the Kwiki Car Wash was opened for business on June 5, 1964, a number of
problems have arisen that directly concern the residents of the area. The Car
Wash is located on the corner of Seventh Street and Thirteenth Avenue N. W.;
is coin operated and open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The main problem is being open twenty-four hours and unattended at night! The
honking of horns, slamming of hoods and doors, loud talk, the revving of motors
after being cleaned, and loud car radios make it impossible to get any reat and
we have lost many hours of sleep duffing the early morning hours.` The language
used at times is unrepeatable. Those who use the facilities during the day and
early evening hours cause no problem, except the usual dust caused from a lot
surfaced with crushed rock. After 10:00 P.M. few people use the facilities,
but those that do cause the problem./
On Saturday, June 6, we were kept awake until 2:30 A.M. and.awakended again
at 6:30 A.M.; Sunday, June 7th, until 1:30 A.M.; Monday, June 8, until 2:00
A.M.;'Tuesday„ June 9, we were awakened at 3:15 A.M.; and Wednesday, June 10,
until 12:30 A.M. Early Monday morning, June 8, the noise was so bad one of
the area residents called the police. This morning,' June 11, we had
motorcycles take over at 1:45 A.M. You can imagine what that sound is like
in an open-end, metal building when you are trying to srleep.
The residents in the neighborhood feel that in order to safeguard the heatth
of our families something should be done to regulate the hours the Car Wash
is open. We feel there is.no need for cars to be washed between the hours of
10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M., especially in or near a residential neighborhood.
The bright lights, dust, spray and noise make it impossible for the South
windows in our house to be open and during the hot weather ahead, this will
cause a bigger problem.
In behalf of the area residents, I respectfully request that the Council take
action to regulate the hours the Car Wash is open. Thank you for your
consideration in this matter.
Respectfully yours,
/s MERLIN J. KNAUSS
901 - 13th Avenue N. W.
Mr. Merlin Knauss was present and requested that regulations be put on hours of operation of the
` car wash and suggested that it be closed from 10:00 P. M. to 7:00 A. Me Other residents in this
area also spoke against the noise. R.-V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that two possible things
co uld be done (1) the citizens could file a nuisance complaint or (2) they could seek an
injunction in district court restricting the firms hours of operation. Also the matter of
adopting an ordinance to limit the hours of all coin -operated businesses was discussed. After a
lengthy discussion R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney and James J. Macken, Jr., Chief of Police were
instructed to contact Mr. Boyd Rolph, owner of Kwiki Car Wash, and request him to attend the
next Public Safety Committee meeting to be held Thursday, June 18th at 4:00 o'clock P. M. to
try to iron out the problems involved. A motion was then made by Eichten, second by Day, that
