E. was referred to this office on March 20, 1967 for Engineer's Preliminary Report. We report that the improvement is feasible and recommend its construction. Altho this is a State Aid Street on which the recommended improved roadway design is 44 feet, the Public Works Committee has considered the particular circumstances -in this instance, and because the anticipated future daily traffic volume can be served by 2 lanes of traffic, have recommended a 36 foot roadway along the major portion of the street, with parking prohibited on the south side. • Parking will be prohibited on the north side also adjacent to llth Avenue and the Mayo Field driveway to provide for turning lanes. Their primary consideration was to save the majority of the boulevard trees. Our survey of.the trees has shown that of the 93 boulevard trees inplace, all would be removed or damaged with a 44 foot roadway; 57 to 63 with a 40 foot roadway; and 22 to 30 with a 36 foot raodway. I recommend that the paving be concrete, with.conrete curb and gutter; that sidewalks which are in hazardous condition be replaced in connection with the street reconstruction and be assessed to the abutting owners. I further recommend that the property owners berequired to replace all defective or faulty -sewer and water service connections before the street is- repaved. Because of the 36 foot width this project will not qualify for State Aid Financing. The estimated cost of the widening and paving is $120,000. The proposed budget is attached. /s C. A.

S. 63 and 3rd Avenue N.E.) was read and upon motion by Day, second by Postier, and all voting in favor, the resolution was approved. Alderman Felkert introduced the following resolution which was read: ."BE IT RESOLVED that, subject to the exceptions set forth below, the Common Council of the City of Rochester favors the adoption of Senate Files Nos. 1456, 1457, 1458 and 1459 relative to pensions for city police and fire department employees and their dependents. The provisions of said proposed statutes to whidht.the Common Council excepts or objects are: (1) The lmandatory funding provisions which would compel the Council to levy taxes forthwith in an amount which would meet the normal cost and also amortize the fund deficiency over a period of forty years. The initial and immediate impact of this required tax levy would amount to an increase in the total city tax levy inthe reange 10% to 11% and would constitute an intolerable burden upon the taxpayers of the City of Rochester. The Common Council of the City -of Rochester approves the principle that L`� the police and firemen's pensions should be property funded, but recommends this funding be accomplishedby a gradual increase in the tax levy necessary for this prupose at the rate of one mill per year until the amount realized from the annual levy equals the amount of money required to pay the normal cost and also amortize the deficiency over a period of forty years. (2) The provision.increasing immediately the amount of employee contributions to the pension fund to 6% of the basic patrolman's or firemen's salary. The Common Council of the City of Rod*ester feels that the employee contribution to the pension fund should also be increased on a gradual basis at the rate of 1% per year until the 6% level is reached. Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Senators Dosland and Krieger and Representatives Schumann and Quirin." Upon motion by Perry, second by Ellison, and all voting in favor, the meeting was adjourned until 7:30 P.. M. on May 15, 1967. City Clerk 0 I,
