discuss this further:
t
"The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
City of Rochester
City Hall
Rochester, Minnesota:
Gentlemen:
I am writing to you pursuant to action taken by the Town Board of Rochester
Township at its meeting on Thursday,'August 13, 19640-Recently there was a
series of hearings held by the Minnesota Municipal"Commission concerning
whether pr not to annex a substantial portion of Rochester Township to the City
of Rochester.
Although -the voters in.the affected .portion of Rochester Township voted by
an overwhelming majority to retain Township status, the evidence brought out
Y in,the hearings showed that the sewage disposal problems in the Town of
Rochester may possibly develop into a health threat not only to the Town of
Rochester, but-to•the City of,Rochester as well.
On behalf of the Town Board of the Rochester Township, therefore, we are
writing to you to request that such portions of,Rochester Township as may be
feasibly served by the Rochester sewage disposal system be given service by
the City of Rochester by an extension thereto of the City Sewage system. We
would assume that the area to be covered would be substantially that area_
previously set forth by the City of Rochester as feasible to annex in the
evidence presented by the City to the Municipal Commission.
- It appears to the Board or Hoekster Township that such an arrangement,by
which the City sanitary sewer system could be extended to serve certain areas
in Rochester Township presents the best solution to the mutual problem of
both municipalities. Naturally the Town Board feels that the Township should
pay for services rendered to it and would not expect the City of Rochester
to carry the load.
We will await further word from you in regard to this matter and will
look forward to an early meeting and resolution of this problem.
Very truly yours,
/s Franklin Michaels
Attorney for Rochester Township"
