Mayor of the City of Rochester
Rochester,.Minnesota
Dear Mayor Smekta:
Subject: Workable Program for Community Improvement
The purpose. of this letter is to confirm some of the items that were -discussed
with you and your staff by Mr. Thomas S. Kilbridie, my Special Assistant in
charge of the Workable Program during his recent visit to your city. As Mr.
.. Kilbride mentioned to you the Workable Program in essence is a program by which
a city develops a community betterment program and thereby becomes eligible to

No elements of the Workable Program merit special dmphasis and we would like

to briefly review them for you at this -time.
1. Codes -and Ordinances.
This Agency is of the opinion that the adoption and enforcement of adequate
Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Housing and Dire Prevention Codes are
essential to•any community improvement program. Consequently, we require
that a community adopt the above mentioned codes during the first year of
its Workable Program activities. The communities are also expected, to see
that the codes are adequately enforced. The latter concept includes the
enforcement of the housing code on a planned systematic (area -by -area)
basis within one year after the adoption of the housing code. More
specific information regarding the items of code adoption and enforcement
is contained in the attached Ouidelines.
2. Citizen Participation
A successful long term community betterment program depends to a large '
degree upon active participation by the residents of the community. We
feed that the people need tofknow what is happening to their community;
and what is being done under the community improvement program. It is
therefore required that a Citizens Advisory Committee be formed or designa-
ted in each community under the Workable Program. Again, More detailed
info6nation regarding the eitizens participation function id contained inr
the attached documents.
Mr. Kilbride has favorably reported to me on the results of his meeting
with you and your associates. We feel the City of Rochester is to be
complimented for their willingness to undertake a community improvement
program, and we look forward to working with you in this effort. Please
do not hesitate to contact us if you should desire additional advice or
i fo n t'o
rma i n. ..
Sincerely yours,
/s John P.-McCollum
Regional Administrator"
