Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Common Council of the City of Rochester,
Minnesota, held in the Council Chambers in the City Hall, in'said City, on April 4, 1966-;
President DeVries, Alderman Day, Alderman Eichten and Alderman Folkert then
took the oath of office.
President DeVries called the meeting to order at 2:00 o'clock P. M., the
following members being present: President DeVries, Aldermen Day, Eichten, Folkert,
McCaleb, Perry, Wilson. Absent: None.
President DeVries then gave the following address:
, "The Common Council last year grappled with a full quota of problems, and
on the whole handled them well. Without.attempting to review in detail all
of this body's work over the past twelve months, I might point quickly to
some of our triumphs inareas I mentioned inthis message a year ago. We.now
have an administrative assistant to the Council and Mayor. I have another
thought or two onthis later. He have acquired some further steps toward
enlargement and improvement of the sewage treatment plant. We have started
a citizens program, not only to build a downtown plan as I urged last year,
but to build an all -encompassing plan of community growth. We have seen
passage of two desirable amendments to our city charter, and must get on
with the business of redefining our ward boundaries.'
On the negative side, we did not get our new building -code or heating code
established, and should again set this as a goal for 1966. Likewise, our
watershed project which is so vital to this community and to the surrounding
farm lands has made progees the past year, but not as rapidly asdesired. The
Soil Conservation Service has most energectically and effectively carried out
its part of the program to date, and we are anxiously awaiting word fromthe
Army Corps of Engineers as to when they will be ready for the meating to lay
plans for our next step.
Looking ahead to the coming year, public Vorks projects must of necessity
continue to command a great deal of our time and attention. Still another
addition to the Municipal Light Plant must be built, and the Public Utility
Board is already actively doing planning for this. An expenditure of about
three and a half million dollars will be required in order to see through the
completion of, and addition to, our Sewage Plant. In addition, I -feel that
the City should make plans for the extension and improvement of its steam line
to those businesses which have indicated an interest inthis service. The
systematic improvement of our streets and thoroughfares must continue, and
further plans for these projects made during this year. This sampling merely
suggests the nature and scope of those projects which our gnwing City demands.
In another role, I can foresee the Common Council taking the lead in
establishing an even stronger working relationship between itself and those
other governmental bodies whose interests are closely tied to our own. I have
particular reference here to the surrounding town boards, our Olmsted County
commissioners, and our own Rochester School Board. The day has long since
passed when the Council could concern itself only with those affairs inside its
own city limits, for we and the townships surrounding the city are truly a
single community with common problems. Thechallenge now.is to find common
solutions. One vehicle for working toward our goals is the fine new community
development porgram which has just been launched and which deserves not only
the support of the City Government as a whole, but the active participation of c
all of us as individual Councilmen, Mayor, department heads and other personnel.
During this coming year I can see the Rochester Common Council in still
another role. There is no reason why our city and community should not take the
lead in anlayzing and drawing together those interests which are peculiar to the
urban communities in "outstate" Minnesota, and make these interests heard at out,
State Legislature. Numerous State legislative reforms are necessary as they
pertain to our cities, not the least of which are problems such astax sources
available to the city, school aid formulas, civil service revisions, personnel
retirement program, annexation and sewage problems. A mature and -constructive
voice from this segment of the Minnesota community is an absolute necessity in
St. Paul this year. In this connection, let me now extend an official welcome
to Jim Andre, our new Administrative Assistant, who by reason of his experience
in the State Legislature may be of great h&lp:: to us inthis regard. We welcome
him not only as a person whom we are pleased to have join the City staff, but
As a talent which we are convinced should make more effective the work of all
of us. As Councilmen - and Mayor - we do not delude ourselves that Jim's
presence will mean any fewer hours devoted to City business - but it will
mean that the time we do spend should be many times moreefficient and productive
We will be asking each department head to assist us in Jim's orientation,
•
42 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 4, 1966
and we ask the members of our fine volunteer Boards and Commissions to help
him become acquainted with their operations, plans and problems. It is our
plan and conviction that Jim's presence here will not in any way make the
Councilmen more distant from the rest of the City staff; on the contrary, his
presence should help us to work even more closely with all of you.
If there exists - in fact - any lack -of communication between the
Councilmen or'Mayor and the public, perhaps Jim can help us here also.
Again let me predict a good year ahead, in terms of hard work, many
probelems, but mot potential gratification in seeing important work well
done."

Mayor Smekta then gave the following address:
"Saturday afternoon, I received a telephone call fromthe owner of the Rochester
BusLine, Mrs. Margaret Trenholm, alerting the Mayor, City Council, and the citizens that the
Bus Line is in the throes of a union negotiations. The present contract expires April 25th.
The negotiations are for increased wages and additional fringe benefits. The owner and her
Attorney are studying their demands. They are evaluationg the economic impact whether the
bus line can continue to operate with continued and declining reveneues.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council, bus transportation is one of the
really big problems facing our City. The elderly, our nurses working in Hospitals, people
working in the downtown area and shoppers are entitled to good bus service.
As you recall, last fall, meetings were held by citizen groups from the Chamber
of Commerce. The bus line owner met with us. Concessions were made on city licenses. However,
no effort was made by any organized group to stimulate the use of buses.
As I pointed out in the beginning wemay be faced without anybus service by
0
426 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 4, 1966
July 1st.
With constant and greater demands on us, it is impossible to detail all
problems. Therefore, I am asking the Administrative Assistant bee -assigned a feasibility
study of the Rochester Bus Line, receiving a federal transportation -grant throughthe
City of Rochester. We must explore all avenues to insure bus transportation in
Rochester.
During the past six years Rochester has a population growth of approximately
eighteen percent. Our Police Department has not kept pace with this growth. I am
asking that eight additional patrolmen be added to our Police Department. It takes from
six to twelvemonths to find and train men. We can not afford the luxury of an
understaffed police department.
This year we will be going into a big street improvement program. I am
cautioning and urging that the Council not forget a street lighting program to compliment
the street project. We need better street fighting. I suggest we extend our lighting
program all the way past the North Broadway bridge.
In 1958 I recommended to the Council the creation of a centralized Purchasing
Agency. I am recommending it again today. Simply and emphatically it will save the
citizens of Rochester tax dollars.
In 1963 I recommended to the Countil the creation of a Citizens TaxStudy
Committee tostudy our tax base and make=recommendations to the Council. I do hope and
do recommend this again.
In 1962 we recommended to the Council a beautification program of the Zumbro.
River and City Creeks. I am pleased that $15,000 was allocated to the City Engireers
Department to remove sand, brush and debris. This is only the beginning. We suggest
this program be expanded as a flood control measure.
Year after Year I have urged the Council authorize a Commission to study the
need of a newMunicipal Building. We are overcrowded in City Hall. Departments have
been dispersed over the City, this does not lend to good, effective and efficient
government. I again repeat we must look forwardto satisfy our city needs of today,
yes of tomorrow.
During the past three years we have acquired three hundred eighty one acres
of land from the State of Minnesota for park purposes. Although this is commendable,
weshould not rest on our laurels, we should be alert, and Irepeat alert to the needs
and wishes of our citizens.. I am pleased to hear the County Commissioners will be
creating a CountyPark and Recreation Board. I dohope this will come to pass. We need
their assistance and recogniation that 67% of Olmsted County is the population of the
City of Rochester.
During the past five years we have urged the County Commission to acquire large
acreage near the perifery of Rochester. This acreage could be developed as a County
Park, used by the entire community concept of Olmsted County and we do hope everyone
and anyone will use their influence in assisting the County Commission to make up their
minds.
During the past four years I have urgedthat the practice of issuing annual
City Reports to our citizens through a special supplement of our local newspaper be
reinstated. Our citizens are entitled to know what progess has been made during each
calendar year. I urge this practice be re-established this year.
Finally mycompliments to the Council for taking a great step forward in
hiring an Administrative Assistant. Much will be expected of him. -We extend our
best wishes and assure him we will do everything possible to assist himLim-;his!anew
position.
The New Year will seeechallenges and with it changes. MayI assure you that
I will work with you that we maycdischarge our responsibilities with dignity and with
honor.
Again, I repeat the challenges are great, our responsibilities to our people
are even greater."

The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the application to vary the provisions of Article 23.04, Ordinance No. 1296
regarding Lot area per dwelling unit standards as they apply to Lots 7, 10 and 11, Block
5, East Rochester Addition so that an 18 unit apartment building could be constructed on
this property; the area of these lots is 19,685 sq. ft. and 1,500 sq. ft. per dwelling
unit would allow the development of 13 two or more bedroom dwelling units; they find that
the owners have already had construction plans prepared for this property and that they
are in the process of letting a contract to begin construction for this apartment
building; they feel that to require them to cut back on the number of dwelling units
would cause them unnecessary hardship and therefore they recommend that the variance
be granted, was read. A motion was made by Eichten, second by Day, that this be tabled

block, which would be in the B-lb Distrci t; they feel that the entire block should be
rezoned to the R-3 District in order to promote a proper land use development in the area

Block 1, Northgate 3rd Addition from the B-lb District to the R-3 District, was read..

The recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission stating that they had
reviewed the application for a variance of the required front yard for a 30 unit building
along 18k Avenue N.W., Block 1, Northgate 3rd Addition (Belgarde Community Development)and
find that the plan, as proposed did make provision for the required 25 ft. front yard and
that there is ample space in the project to permit the construction of the building with
the required amount of front yard space, they can find no hardship connected with this
request resulting from an unusual shape of the land, unusual narrow width of the lot or
unusual terrain, and therefore recommend that the requested variance be denied, was read.

suited for commercial development in the future; they are also of the opinion that in
order to promote orderly development of this property and to preserve the traffic
carrying capacity of Highway 63 into the future the consideration should be given to the
provision of a frontage road running along the west side of the main traveled way;they
would like to request that the Common Council authorize the City Engineer and the Public
