The following recommendation of the Finance Committee was read,:
"To the -Honorable Mayor
and
Members of the Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Finance Committee, would like to
advise the Common Council and the Mayor that in the remodeling program
,of City Hall $43,000.00 was budgeted. The original contracts let at
the time of bidding were $59,187.00 with an additional increase in costs
from $6,000.00 to $8,000.00, plus 10% contract costs and change orders
for'architect lees. This cost for -remodeling will run as follows, if
furniture is purchased:
$59,187.00 Original Contract
$ 7000.00 Estimated Change Orders
6,600.00 Estimated Architect Fees
8;000.00, Estimate Furniture Bids
$80,787.00 Total Estimated Costs
This could be paid for as follows:
$43,000.00 Budgeted amount
38,000.00 From budgeted amounts in reserve
for land and buildings
$81,000.00
The Finance Committee would like to have the full Council pass on the
advertisement for bids for furniture and equipment at this time.
Respectfully,
FINANCE COMMITTEE
/s David G. Hanlon, Chairman
/s D. Dewey Day
/s William H. Perry"
Alderman Hanlon, -Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that they brought this matter to the
t .
attention of the entire Council because at the time the remodeling project for the City Hall `
was planned, it was planned in three phases, the first phase which is being done right now was
for the Planning Department, the Coffee Room and the Police Department, but adequate monies were
not even provided for the first phase, .no money was provided for architect fees or furniture;

he said he thought they should proceed with the.project, but did not think this was the way such
projects should be handled and therefore they brought it to the attention of the entire Council.
A motion was then made by Day, second by Eichten, that the recommendation be approved, the job be
completed and bids for furniture and equipment be advertised for;*, upon roll call all voted in
favor thereof. ,
. . The recommendation of the Finance Committee that one full-time position in the mental
health clinic be,exempted from the city residence requirement; this request originalted from the
Board of Public Health and Welfare because a proposed candidate to fill the long vacant position
of Clinical Psychologist does not meet the,city resident requirement; we believe this action can
be justified for two reasons, one, one full time position represents the approximate ratio of
county to city financial participation in the mental health,program and two, no qualified local
city residents are available to fill this vacancy; precedense for esidence exemption on this
basis was first established by the Library Board about two years ago for several library
positions and the arrangement has been working out reasonably well; thestaff at the Public Health
Center gives us their assurance that this action need have no adverse affect on compliance with
city residence requirement by personnel in other positions at the Health Center, was read.'
Alderman Day, a member of the Finance Committee, stated that he did not sign the above .
recommendation and he was opposed to it because he felt it was setting a precedent, as long.as
th rule wasthat employees live in the city then this rule should be followed. A motion was made
by Hanlon, second by Ecichten, that the recommendation be approved; all voted in favor thereof,
except Alderman Day who voted "no".

sewer and water main in 6th Street N. W. from llth Avenue N. Ws to,l6th Avenue N. W. was referred

motion. Copies of Nos. 203; 254; 349; 428; 472; 461; 572; 682; 703 and 800 were to be sent
to each Alderman for their study and recommendtion.
Alderman Day stated that with the dry weather, the areas adjoining the City have a
serious problem as far as fire is concerned; the rural fire department only gives service to
their members and the City fire department is not allowed to fight fires outside the city
limits, this leaves some of the people without any assistance; he suggested (1) asking the
Rochester Dairy and Marigold Dairy to provide trucks full of water as standby (2) City Engineer
to furnish water trucks (3) off -duty firemen that want to volunteer their services could be -
used; he suggested appointment of a committee to look into this matter or make suggestions to
take care of this situation for the next few weeks or until it rains. After a lengthy
discussion, a luncheon meeting was set for Tuesday noon in the Mayor's office to discuss this
problem; the persons asked to attend would be Alex-P. Smekta, Mayor; Richard Towey, County
Commissioner; Gerry Cunningham, Sheriff; representatives from the Rochester Dairy and Marigold
Dairy; James J. Macken, Jr. Chief of Police; C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer; G. J. Sullivna,
County Engineer; and Dewey Day, Alderman.
Upon motion by Wilson, second by Perry, and all voting in favor thereof, the matter
of placing stop signs at (1) 3rd Avenue and 14th Street Northwest and (2) 14th Avenue and 6th

Upon motion by Wilson, second by Perry, and all voting in favor thereof, the meeting
