the time and energy spent in the betterment of Rochester and urged action to increase these
salaries. Mr. David Hayden stated that it was their definite feeling that the report by
Ladislas Segoe & Associates for downtown Rochester was ignored in regard to downtown Rochester

giving them guidance before and did not think decisions should made for g g g political IIi
li
expediency or at the request of special groups; he said he had talked to hundreds of people
and they all felt the Council acted hastily or to late in that regard and were stifling the
work and felt they should have waited until Barton Aschman had their report finished. Mr.

Savik stated that they appreciated the efforts of the Council but felt it was their oblig-
ation to point out the areas of difference in opinion and act not for political expediency I;II
it
or at the request of special groups fur for the best interest of.Rochester as a whole; he
urged that the Council reconsider their action on the resolution abandoning the mall and
l�
wait for the final report of Barton Aschman before the concept of a mall was dropped. Alderman
Day stated that he felt the Council was right in making a decision on the mall and not
straddling the fence, he said this had been under study for at least a year and a decision
had been requested by the planners and was not made for political expediencey or at the j
request of any certain groups; he said Barton Aschman would still complete its report showing
a mall because the Housing & Redevelopment Authority had contracted them to this. Alderman
Perry stated that the planners had to have guidance from the Council or they would be
drawing plans without regard to local interests. Alderman Postier said he thought six
months ago that the mall concept had been abandoned but now it was brought up again and
he would like to see it settled once and for all. Alderman Larson stated that he would be
willing to again consider the Broadway mall when the Barton Aschman report is completed.
President DeVries stated that the Council is asked to make many decisions, the question l
of the mall is just one of many, he said they were not always the decisions everyone was in !'
favor of but were made in good faith by the Common Council.

The following resolution adopted by the Public Utility Board was then read:
WHEREAS, the Public Utility Board of the City of Rochester, Minnesota,
on the 20th day of February, 1943, adopted a written resolution establish-
ing a plan for retirement, disability and survivor's pensions.for employees
of the Public Utility Department, in the amounts and upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the resolution, a dopy .of which is marked Exhibit
A, attached to and made a part of this resolution,
AND WHEREAS, among the terms and conditions of the pension plan adopted
is a provision that if the Social Security Laws are amended by the Federal
Government to cover employees of the Public Ltility Department, then the
pension plan adopted shall -become a supplemental plan to Federal Social
Security and the benefits payable under the plan shall only be the differ-
ence between the amount payable under the plan and the amount paid as
Federal Social Security benefits,
AND WHEREAS, since the adoption of the foregoing pension plan, the
scope and amount of pension and survivor's benefits payable to covered
public employees under the Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Associa-
tion plan have been greatly expanded and the municipal, government of the
City of Rochester, including the Public Utility Department, as employers,
have become obligated to make substantial contributions to the plan under
the state law amounting at the present time to 8 1/2 percent of each
employees gross wage or salary,
AND WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Minnesota during the
1967 Session has adopted legislation giving public employees currently
covered by the Public Employees Retirement Association plan the individual
option to become a member of a Co-ordinated PERA-OAS,I plan covered by
Federal Social Security or to remain under the existing PERA plan, and
has made the Co-ordinated PERA-OASI plan mandatory for new public employees,
AND WHEREAS, the foregoing combination of circumstances and the need
for a decision on the ultimate disposition of the departmental pension
plan so that employees of the Public Utility Department can make an
informed election on the new Co-ordinated PERA-OASI pension plan, has
led the Public Utility Board to conclude that the pension plan adopted
by the Board on February 26, 1943, should be discontinued upon the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth,
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Public Utility Board of the City
of Rochester that:
(1) Effective as of January 1, 1968, no further,or,additional pension
benefits shall accrue to covered employees or to their survivors under
the pension plan adopted by the Board on February 26, 1943, and all
employees of the Public Utility Department with less than six months
employment as of January 1, 1968, and their survivors shall be entitled
to no benefits under the plan.
(2) The service of each employee covered by the departmental pension
plan shall be determined by the Secretary of the Board as of January 1,
1968, and any pension benefits payable in the.future shall be computed
on the basis of the accumulated service of each employee to that date.
In computing the service of each covered employee, any fraction of a
year less than one half (1/2) shall be disregarded and any fraction of
a year one-half (1/2) or greater shall be counted as a full year.
(3) Retirement, disability and survivor's pension benefits shall be
paid to covered employees and their survivors when and if such benefits
would otherwise mature under the plan, on the basis of one -twentieth (1/20th)
of the maximum benefit payable to employees and survivors under the present
plan for each year of service completed as of January 1, 1968, but not to
exceed twenty years.
(4) The provision in the pension plan with respect to Federal Social
Security is hereby deleted and pension benefits'the payment of which is
commenced on or after January 1, 196&'Ishall not be reduced or affected
by Federal Social Security payments.
(5) Nothing in this resolution shall be construed to affect any pension
the payment of which has commenced or should have been commenced prior to
January 1, 1968 and payment of such pension shall be continued and completed
under the present pension plan unamended.
(6) Nothing in this resolution shall be construed to abrogate or
eliminate the requirement of the present pension plan with respect to
minimum length of service needed to qualify for pension benefits and the
•

requirement that an employee be in the employ of the Public Utility
Department at the time retirement age is reached, or be in the employ of
the Public Utility Department on the date of employee's disability or
death if that event occurs prior to retirement, in order for such employee
or his or her survivors to be entitled to a pension.
Be it further resolved that as soon as practicable after the adoption of
this resolution, the Secretary shall calculate the service of each covered
employee to January 1, 1968, and the amount of pension payment to be made on
qualified retirement, and shall transmit such calculations to each employee
for verification.
Be it further resolved that this resolution be forwarded by the Secretary
to the Common Council of the City of Rochester for its approval."
A motion was made by Perry, second by Folkert, that the said resolution be adopted as read.
Mr. Leo Mayou of 1021 7th Avenue S. E. was present and stated that he would be with the City
for 20 years this fall and all that time he was under the impression that he was covered by
this pension plan but now found out that people hired after they were 40 years of age were
not covered, which included him; but all the years he worked, at wage negotiation time this
was taken into consideration. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, stated that when the plan was
adopted in 1943 it provided that you must begin your employment before 40 years of age, so
Mr. Mayou was never covered. Mr. James Brott of 222 9th Avenue N. E. stated that he had
WORKed here only 5 years and when he was hired he was told that this was part of his benefits
and when he completed 20 years of service and had reached retirement age he would receive
$75.00 per month and now it was cut down and they freeze it. Mr. Ehrick stated that the
original plan did provide $75.00 per month but at this time it was being cut down to get
the benefits you have accrued, the matter of it being a part of the compensation would have
to be taken up at the time wages are negotiated; he also explained that under the plan, if
the Federal Government amended the Social Security Act to cover the employees of the Utility
Dept. then the amounts paid under this plan would only be the difference between what the
employee would receive under this plan and what his social security would be. Mr. Everett
Markee of 709 14th Street N. E. stated that in 1953 when they negotiated wages the Public
Utility Board put a value against the pension for the amount of $24.50 so instead of getting
$324.50 per month they got only $300.00, he said he thought this should also be considered.
Mr. Howard Denzer of 2332 15th Avenue N. W. inquired if under the pro -rated plan there would
be survivors benefit. Mr. Ehrick answered that there would be on the same pro -rated basis;
he said this was one of the additional problems as faras new employees after January 1,1968,
they come under the combination and this pension means nothing to them because if they
realize $74.00 a month from social security that wipes out this pensaion and he thought the
Board took this action to stabilize the situation so that employees when they have to make
an election they know where they stand here; in establishing a cut off date they have not
eliminated anything, they will be paid what they have accrued. President DeVries stated
that if some of the employees elected to go Social Security the amount of their pension
would be deducted which would make this plan of no value at all, there are some inequities
(like Mr. Mayou) but that was the way the plan was originally set up. President DeVries then
called for a vote on the motion and all present voting in favor, the resolution was declared
