City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
During the past week, I have received many telephone calls, and have been stopped
on the street by people who are deeply concerned about the elimination of the City
•
Assessors Office in the City of Rochester. Realtors, especially, have stated they
have been appreciative of the services and information that is available to then
at the City Assessors Office. Others have questioned the wisdom of allowing the
County to take over our responsibility:
Two years ago, the people of Rochester gave you a clear-cut mandate which allows
you to appoint a City Assessor, thereby eliminating the office as a political
football. This will give you -a clear hand to upgrade and enhance the psosition
and services of that office to the community as a whole.
In view of the .mandate that was given you by the people of Rochester two years ago,
I suggest more consideration and study be given before any action is taken to
eliminate the City Assessors Office.
Sincerely,
/s Alex P. Smekta, Mayor"

Dr.. David Hoffman, a member of the Board of Park Commissioners, was present in regard
to installing wire mesh or some -safeguard around the -rink in the arena and also the outdoor rinks.
A letter had been received from the General Accident Group Insurance -Company that (1) a wire mesh
screen should be installed along the side -lines at the auditorium when rink is set up for hockey
.
games atwhich spectators will be present, screen should extend upwards at least three feet above
the boards so the top will be at least seven feet above the ice and (2) wire mesh screen should be
installed on the rinks at Mayo Field, East Silver Lake Park, Cook, Clatterly and:Soldiers Field,
these screens should be at least four feet above the boards to give protection to a distance of
seven feet above the ice (theboards are three feet high around the outdoor rinks). A letter from
the Board of Park Commissioners pointing out,the.three following was also read (1) if we were to
construct these screens as specified in this directive, it would make the cost of operating the
outdoor hockey rinks prohibitive as there would not only be the costs of constructing the screens,
which would have to be very strong because people would lean and climb on them, and they would .have

to be watched closely to see that no holes are allowed to develop. In the operation of a rink,
snow has to be shoveled out daily and sometimes two or three times daily. With n screen of this
height around the rink it would mean that power equipment would have to be put into use. We
think the costs of this operation would be much more than is justified by the use that"could
possibly be made of the rinks. (2) Spectators'at.hockey games, whether it be a game where there
ire admissions or not, generally do not want to look through a wire mesh. (3) The members of
the park board and the park department's professional staff have personal knowledge of many
rinks, both indoors and outdoors, and no,place do they know:of a screen such as described by
this inspector. Dr. Hoffman stated that the Park'Board had considered this at length and have
tried every method of protection at the Auditorium and haddot been able to come up with anything
and would welcome any guidance that could be given to them. Alderman Day stated that he felt
safeguards for spectators should be installed in the auditorium before any more gamesare
played, he felt if people were paying for entertainment they should be receiving protection:
After further discussion a motion was made by Wilson, second by Eichten, and all present voting
in favor thereof, the matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee, they to meet with the
Park Board and a representative of the Insurance Company.

"City Council of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota y
Gentlemen:
Since that -part of property which can now be served with all city -*-
facilities --namely, that portion lying adjacent to and just north of
First Duville Addition and also along theeast side of llth Avenue
N. E.-- I would like to have it annexed to the City.
Inasmuch as it is not possible at this time to obtain city services
for the rest of my properties --namely, the hill, home and wooded area
on -top of the hill north of the house and adjacent to the Peck woods--,
T would appreciate deferral of annexation of these areas until such
time as city facilities are available. A proposed plot for the first
mentioned land has been submitted to you and, if satisfactory, will
be submitted to the Planning Committee at its next meeting. Tentative
plans for plotting the wooded area have already been made for this area
north of my home, for submission whenever city facilities become
available.
I have every confidence that the Council will use its usual good
judgment in approval of annexation of the one area and deferral, for the
present, annexation of the ramining areas for which city facilties are
not now available.
Sincerely,
/s-Earl E. Gambill, M.D."
