"Hon. Alex P. Smekta, Mayor
and
The Common Council of Rochester
Re: Parking at Mayo Civic Auditorium
Parking Lot.
Gentlemen:
The Board of Park Commissioners recommend the establishment of a parking
fee of 25C per day covering the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. We
recommend that the City of Rochester purchase all necessary automatic
parking controls and coin machines to be used in conjunction with the
operation of the lot. The total cost of this equipment, installed, will
be approximately $5,000.00.
We recommend that the City of Rochester enter into contract with the
National Garages, Inc. for the actual operation of the lot. We have a
proposal from the National Garages in which they will operate the lot
for a charge of 25% of the net operating profit of their fee.
There are certain occasions when it is necessary to reserve the entire
parking lot facility for Auditorium rentors. On such occasions the
manager of the M.C.A. shall have the necessary authority to work out
satisfactory arrangements with the parking lot operators.
It is our opinion that the suggested hours of operation will best serve
the interests of the City of Rochester. However, we suggest a
reviewal of operating hours be made at the end of the first year's
operation.
Sincerely yours,
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS

The following letter submitted by C. A. Armstrong, City Engineer, was then
read:
"To: Property owners on 19th St. N.W. Job: 5821-6-66
Abutting Northgate Sixth Addition Proposed 20th St. N.W.
Abutting Northgate 6th Add.
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the City Council on November 1, 1965, the matter of the
right of way for the south � of a proposed 20th St. N.W. extending across
the north 33' of your lots was discussed.
A proposal submitted to the Council at that meeting was discussed and
rejected. The matter was referred back to the Public Works Committee to
confer with the Attorney and City Engineer and to recommend back to the
Council a program for annexation, right of way acquisition, and construc-
tion that would comply with legal procedures and City policy.
The circumstances which we have to deal with are:
1. The City Council has determined that the property abutting 19th St.
N.W. should be annexed.
2. The proprietors of Northgate Addition have stated that they will pay
the construction costs of grading and surfacing 20th St. as the North -
gate Additions that abut it are constructed, provided that the property
owners of the lots south of 20th Street provide the south half of the
needed 66' right of way, and are assessed for their respective share of
the sewer and water construction.
3. The owners of the tracts fronting on 19th Street and backing up to the
proposed 20th Street have insisted (1) that if they dedicate the 33'
for the south half of 20th Street, the street sewer, and water be in-
stalled for the entire length of their properties at this time, (2)
that they be assessed only for the sewer and water mains, and the
assessment be deferred until their properties are connected to the sewer
and water, (3) that annexation be postponed until -the roadway, sewer,
and water are installed.
After considering all phases of the problem the Public Works Committee pro-
poses to recommend to the Council that - if the property owners of the tracts
lying on the south side of the proposed 20th Street will dedicate 33' for the
south half of the right of way, the City will (1) accept the offer of Hutch-
inson and Sauer to pay for the entire street construction, (2) assess the
sewer and water costs equitably to property on each side of 20th Street, and
(3) annex the property to the City.
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee will go to the Council on
January 17th. At that meeting the Council also proposes to consider their
previous resolution to annex this property.
I suggest that you people advise the Council in writing or appear at the
meeting to inform them of your joint opinion.
s/ C. A. Armstrong
For the Public Works Committee"
