Mr. Clay Ewers was present, representing Universal Ford, on the matter of special assessment No. 8409 in the sum of $13,546.96 on Lot 1, Block 1, Pennington Business Park. He stated that he felt the assessed footage given them of 606.12 feet on the Pennington Court N. W. was unfair. He stated that at the time of purchasing this property he wanted a service road, but Mr. Pennington felt his property to the north would be better if he built a cul-de-sac road and agreed to pay for part of the cost of the road. He stated they did not need any water along the cul-de-sac road and that they would never need water to the rear: of the property. He stated that the property along the cul-de-sac to the north that is being assessed, would normally be split, and he thinks this would be fair, and if the figure of $10.24 a footisis correct, then the assessment of the Universal Ford property would be out of line. He stated he wanted the Council to know that he did not need water to the north of his property at all, he only needed it along the frontage. Alderman Larson stated that any time you have a cul-de-sac or public street the City is obligated to provide water for it, and that the split of property would be between Mr. Pennington and Universal Ford.

The amended agreement would provide that the County Board of Health administer the City Housing ordinance, and impose a license fee for hotels, motels, lodging houses and apartments in accordance with a city ordinance establishing such fees. This alternative includes the licensing and inspection of.apartment buildings, which is not require& under the state. -However, because of the high numberof medical transients, minimum standards of sanitation for the short term rental apartments are considered critical. The apparent • Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., December 18, 1972 advantages of this alternative are; 1) All health -sanitation type of inspections would be under one direction. 2) All health -sanitation enforcement activities would be under a public health agency. 3) More effective utilization of inspectors, at least in cases where food, beverages and lodging are in one facility. 4) Simplified licensing procedures for affected facilities. 5) City would retain legislative and policy powers in housing code related matters.. The City would retain its Housing Board of Appeals and continue to be the appointing authority for its members. ( The City Administrator was instructed to meet with the County Board and Health Board officials to discuss the details of this alternative.) A motion was made by Strain, second by McNary, approving the Cigarette license for Mr. Ems System, Inc. - Rochester Embers at 108 17th Avenue S. W.

Site, Lands 4 & 5 106-13, that part of the NEk SE'k of Section 5-106-13, lying N of US Highway and that part of the NW'k SWk Section 4-106-13 lying N. of U.S. Highway 14, except the Easterly 110 feet; The total cost of the improvements is $159,904.44, the amount to be presently assessed is $28,817.80, the amount to be deferred is $115,271.24 and the amount to be paid by the.City is $15,815.40. All voted in favor. A resolution requesting the Minnesota Highway Department to delay their scheduled improvements on the North Broadway Bridge to 1974.and to consider the widening of the bridge and the widening and improving of the bridge approaches rather than replacing the deck of the present bridge. ( The dollar amount was omitted after discussion with the Minnesota Highway Department officials.). A motion was made by Kamper, and second by Larson, that the resolution be adopted; all voted in favor. A motion was made by Larson, second by Powers, to approve the request for taxicab fare increase to $.75 initial fare or first 1/5 mile, $.10 for each additional 1/5 mile and waiting time $.10 for each minute. After discussion on the increase it was felt that some relief should be given to the golden age citizensy.5o that this increase would not effect them as much as they have a set income. A petition of the drivers of both Yellow Cab Company and Blue and White Cab Company, signed by 74 cab drivers, was presented to the Council; this petition requested approval of the in- crease in rates because they said they had not received a raise in pay since 1967. Further discussion questioned the percentage of increase on the change in the initial fare and it was felt that this was rather steep but Mr. Kramer of the Yellow Cab Company said the short trips are the costly ones and that this much increase would be necessary. Mayor Day said he felt the cab companies were taking "too big a bite at one time", he said he felt the cab companies would not automatically make more money Record of Official Proceedings of the` Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., December 18, 1972 because people who ride the cabs all the time would -find another way to travel, however, he said if the Council approved this he would go along with it.. Mr. Edward Moline, Finance Director, stated that the overall financial picture of the Yellow Cab Company was good but that Blue and White Cab Company were losing money and that in order to keep them in competition some rate increase or subsidy would be in order. A motion was then made by McNary, second by Strain, to amend the original motion that this rate increase would be granted subject to the taxicab companies granting a discount rate to the golden age people so that the increase to them would be only about 20% (the cab companies were to report back to the Council by the next meeting as to what solution could be arrived at on the fares for the golden age people ) all voted in favor of the amendment to the,mot.ion. Alderman Strain said he too felt.that the increase was excessive. President Postier then called for a vote on the original motion as amended and all voting in favor thereof, except Alderman Strain who voted "nay", the motion was carried and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance. Upon motion by Mayer, second by McNary and all voting in favor, the low bid of American Oil Co., Standard Oil Division for furnishing gasoline for the year of 1973 was approved. Bulk tank rate at the cost of $.1324 per gallon and providing delivery from the bulk tank to the City dispensing stations at the cost of $.0074 per gallon. Alderman Larson stated that the cars using the gasoline from the tank at the Fire station were having trouble with filters in the car, that so much sludge was coming out of the gasoline hose it was hard to keep the cars running. A cleaning of the tank plus another filter on the hose would eliminate some of the problem. The City Administrator said he would look into this problem. A motion was made by McNary, second by Strain, and all-.vot.ng:'in,-favor a resolution was -adopted granting a Leave of Absence to John Murphy, commencing November 15, 1972 and terminating on June 30, 1973 or at such time prior thereto as he is able to resume work or voluntarily terminates his employment. A motion was made by Mayer, second by Larson, to table a petition to vacate Colombia Court N. E. from the East Line of Kellogg Hills Subdivision to the East until the petitioner submits the proper drawings indicating what he intends to do about the new lots and the utility easements.
