A letter from the Board of Park C -r issioners stating as follows, was read and upon
motion by Eichten, second by Wilson, and all present voting in favor, the letter was referred
to the Public Safety Committee:
"The Council is well aware, we are sure, of the lack of adequate baseball
and softball fields within the City Parks. Each year the demand for these
parks facilities increases and we have been hard put to provide the public
with even minimum usages:
With this in mind, the Park Board has come to the conclusion that the best
and most economical manner to solve this problem would be to acquire a piece
of land adequate size to accommodate from four to six fields in one plat. The
abanddned sanitary land fill on 3rd Ave.--N. W. would be suitable for this
type of development. Consisting of approximately 20 acres, this parcel
'includes lands which we believe are owned by Bert Leitzen and Emma Geselle:
An added feature would be that this would act as a buffer zone between the
City Dump and residential areas. •
Therefore this Board requests that the City Council take what ever steps
are necessary to acquire this land for athletic fields for the Park Board."
A letter from the Board of Park Commissioners stating as follows, was read and upon
motion by Eichten, second by McCaleb, and all present voting in favor, the letter was referred

"At the Park Board meeting of July 5, 1966, a representative group of the
_Rochester Yourth's Hockey Association appeared before the Park Board with
a proprposal to finance ane construct an ice arena on park property. It
is the intention of the Youth's Hockey Association to solicit and raise
sufficient funds to construct`a building 220' x 1351. Upon completion the
facility would be turned over to the City of Rochester for administration
and maintenance. '
Before entering into a fund drive, the Hockey Association requests commitment
from the Park Board for a suitable site for this type of building that would
have good accessability and adequate space for parking. The tentative site
suggested is in the southeast portion of Quarry Hill Park. The facility
would be used primarily by the Youth's Hockey group.
The Park Board recognizes the'continued interest in Youth Hockey and
recommends acceptance of the proposal providing of course the ability of
the Youth Hockey Association to carry out their commitment."
A letter signed by Alfred Nelsen, City Assessor for permission to attend the
International Association of Assessing Officers Convention to be held in Toronto, Canada on

The following letter was read and upon motion by Perry, second by Eichten, and all •
voting in favor, the same was referred,to the Public Works Committee:
"The Honorable Mayor °
and Fellow Councilmen
City of Rocheter, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
As you know I have been deeply concerned with the safety of pedestrians
crossing Highway 52 North for quite some time. There are approximately 4,000
people living on the west side of this highway, and the area is growing at a
rapid pace. Many of the children have to cross the highway to go to and from
school, at which time, we have provided a uniform police officer. Even with
the officer present, this is an extremely dangerous crossing, not only for the
children, but for the officer as well. Also, there are many children corssing
at times when the officer is not on duty. These children are going to, or
coming from summerschool, church or recreation events, and many people must
ash the crossing to get to and from their work. I would like to ask that the
City Council pledge 50% of the cost for an overpass in this general areae The �
State has maintained that the count of pedestrians is not high enough to jusify

the expenditure of monies for this crossing. However, I maintain that it is
impossible to take an accurate count, because it is so dangerous that many
parents will not allow their children to use the'crossing, hence, they cannot
be counted. In my opinion it would be like counting the people that would
drive or walk across a river to see if a bridge is'justified.
The approximate cost is $38,000 and I feel that if you can see fit to
guarantee 507. of this amount that the State can be -persuaded to pay the other
507..
I'm sure I don't have to remind you that one.young,boy, Dan Campbell,
was seriously injured and another youngster, the Micek boy, was fatally
injured while crossing this highway since it was made into a semi -expressway.
I would like to get •something done on this project yet this fall. I
hope you will give this your immediate attention. .
Very sincerely yours,
/s D. Dewey Day, Alderman Sixth Ward"

north of Lot:9, Block 2, Bel Air First Subdivision;the present owner has offered in.the conve
