Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., March 13, 1968

_- _ - - - - _ _ _--- __ _ -
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee stating as follows, was
read and upon -motion by Folkert, second by Ellison, and all present voting in favor, the
XX
recommendation was approved:
"As requested'in the motion of the Council on March 4, further.study
was undertaken by this Committee, togetherwith the Mayor, Members of the
Council, officials and citizens, on'the matter of shutting down the
treatment plant while the raw sewage pump and other equipment are
being replaced.
As a result of these meetings, and in compliance with the wishes
of this Committee, the Mayor, and other members of the Council which
were expressed at the meeting held at noon -on Thurdsay, March 7th, we
recommend that the Consulting Engineer be directed and authorized to
plan and arrange for a means of pumping and treating the sewage during
the period that the main plant is shut down, so that raw sewage will
not be bypassed directly into the river.
The Consulting Engineer is further authorized to issue an Extra -
Work Order to the Contractor for the work involved beyond the
requirement of the existing contract. "
The recommendation of the Public Works Committee regarding study of Suburban
Problems as they relate to the Future Growth of the City of Rochester, stating as follows,
v
was read and upon motion by Ellison, second by Postier, and all present voting in favor,
the recommendation was approved:
"The Public Works Committee recommends that Robert Halloin be assigned, under
the general supervision of the Administrative Assistant, to study the
suburban problems as they relate to the future growth of the City of
Rochester. It is estimated that such a study could be completed by August
and September 1968. The study should include, but not limited to the
following:
1. Definition of the problem.
2. Recapitulation of activities to date as they relate to the
problem and an analysis of the pertinent factors.
3. Review and analysis of the state and local laws relating to
several aspects of the probelem.
4. Review and analysis of public policy in other states as it
relates to our problem.
5. Review and analysis of research currently under way by other
agencies or institutions.
6. Surveys to ascertain the determinants of suburban development
and growth.
7. Alternative approaches in solving or minimizing the problem.
8. The political -socio-economic ramifications of the alternative
approaches.
The study is requested, not only because of the existing problems in the
suburban areas, but also because of the plans that are in progress by
private developers for the future development of the suburban areas. We
are of the opinion that this problem is of overriding concern to the
community and is deserving of prior and prompt attention.
This has been discussed with the Planning Director and adjustments could
be made to the Department's work schedule. It is anticipated that Mr.
Halloin will spend a minimum of three -fourths of his time on this study.
The possibility of employing consulting service for this bfudy was
considered. However, it is the Committee's opinion that the City
possesses the necessary qualified personnel to conduct such a study."
Upon motionby Folkert, second by Postier, and all present voting in favor, the
meeting was adjourned until March 18� 1968 at 7:30 P. M.
