April 7, 1975 - Annual Meeting No_ 1
MAled
TThh Oath f offic as giv n by the City Clerk to Mayor Smekta, and
eOath Strain, �lwlen, aned Larson.
President Postier called the meeting to order at 2:00 P.M., the
following members being present: President Postier, Aldermen Allen,
Kamper, Larson, McNary, Powers and Strain. Absent: None.
Powers moved, Kamper seconded to approve the minutes of the March 31,
1975 meeting.. Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
Pres'ident Postier gave the following annual address:
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of Rocheste
It is my honor and pleasure to officially congratulate Mayor Smekta,
Alderman Larson and Alderman Strain on their re-election to the City
Council and to congratulate and welcome Paul. Allen as a member of the
City Council representing the Third Ward. On behalf of the Council, t
complete City family, and the Citizens of Rochester, I wish to express
our appreciation and gratitude to Paul Ludowese, for his service and
dedication to the City .as Third Ward Alderman. I must say that
I personally will miss some of his explosive deomnstrations, in puttin
across his ideas to benefit the City of Rochester. May your health
improve, and your convictions and ideals remain.
I have the honor , as Council President, of presenting the annual
address to you for the sixth time. Each year presents new problems
and challenges to the Council, together.with some problems and
challenges which seem to be with us constantly. One such constant
challenge is the task of balancing the.demands and needs for municip-
al services against the taxpayer's ability to pay. I would certainly
commend the Mayor and Council for the responsible manner in which
they have met this challenge in the past and I look forward to working
with you, in meeting this challenge in the coming year.
Some of the major events or issues facing us in 1975 are:
1. Selection of a Site for the City's Water Reclamation Plant.
It appears that, under the recently revised Pollution Control Agency
funding schedule, the City of Rochester will be required to select
a site for the proposed upgraded treatment plant in 1975. I would
again urge that every consideration be given to the selection of a
site which would complement the electrical generating plant, which
is to be built in the near future.
2. Revitalization of the Downtown.
I am very enthusiastic about the resurgence of development activity in
our downtown business district. This may be a oft repeated statement,
as I made it in my 1971 address, 1972, 1973, etc. The proff is in
the actions that have taken place over the last four years, and
as predicted, by private enterprise. These include the Michaels ex-
pansion, the First National Bank.Drive In, the high rise of the elderl
on North Broadway, the huge Mayo Clinic expansion, the Methodist
expansion, the new library downtown, and many many fact liftings
of older buildings downtown, and the occupation of many of the empty
buildings. We are now looking towards a possible ten million dollar
new construction activity planned for 1975 alone, which.include the

C-1 Home-tel Corporation taking care of.a complete half block on 1st
Ave. and Center Street N. W., anew supper club lounge across from
the Post Bulletin, and the initial construction of the first housing
units in Rochester designed to meet the.housing needs of our low-
income elderly , and handicapped residents. ,.We are going forward.
With the creation of a Development District, and a calm sensible
use of this tool, we can expect another fifteen to twenty million
dollar growth in our Downtown area. Let us not forget that we have
had very important expansion in the outer areas of the City, which
also pay taxes, provide tax base, and in turn relieve the tax load
of our average citizen, these areas are also part of Rochester,
and ;should not be forgotten.
3. Orderly Annexation Agreements
The extension of sewer and water facilities into the built-up areas
immediately surrounding the City remains one of the most important
and difficult issues facing our communities. One of the first
steps towards finding a solution to the problem is reaching some
agreement with the surrounding townships concerning orderly annexatioi
It has now been over a year since we contacted'the townships in re-
gard to this problem, an& I urge that we continue in our efforts to
work out acceptable agreements in this coming year.
4. We are faced with many other challenges to numerous to mention,
including the Corp of Engineers Flood Control program, the continuing
Joint Planning between City and County, and my continued hand up,
the One-way street system, but with the years experience with this
particular Council, and the help of all, staff people, and the Citizen!
of Rochester, we will meet these challenges, and go forward.
I look forward to working with you in the coming year in keeping
Rochester the kind of City in which our citizens are proud to live
and work,and can afford it.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Good Afternoon. May I wish each member of the City Council the very
best this -.coming year, and a special welcome to our new Councilman
Mr. Paul Allen. Paul, there is much to learn and great deal more
to attain. . .
1975 looks like a year of anguish, a year of challenge, a Year of
evaluation and possible birth or re -birth. Of course, I am referring

to the downtown area. This sleeping giant is starting to remble and
is showing signs of awakening. A great deal of interest is being
shown by developers in low cost housing. We are all pleased to
see the interest in housing for the handicapped citizens, too. It
is refreshing to see the interest that is being generated.
And now,'may I share some of my concerns with you:
I suggest and recommend to the Council that a good hard look be
taken at the crowded condition that exists in the former City
Engineer's Department, now known as the Public Services Department.
The working.conditions are not conducive to efficiency or quality
of work. The land area seems adequate, however, by adding to the
garage, additional space will become available for engineering
services. This space is desperately needed. I suggest that the
City Administrator, the Public Service Director and the Public Works
Committee do a study and make recommendations to the entire Council.
While we -..,are discussing building space, I suggest that Mr. Roger Plumb
be asked to assume the responsibility of "Director of Building
Maintenance" with a yearly schedule of checking all City buildings
with the proper department heads so that a regular, preventive
maintenance program be initiated. With the millions of dollars, the
City has invested in buildings, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.' This program will save taxpayers' dollars.
As you know, the Law Enforcement Center dispatching is maintained
on a 24 hour basis, manned by Law Enforcement Officers, Patrolmen,
Sargeants and even Lieutenants on occasion. I recommend an evaluation
be made by the Administrator of his assistant as to the feasibility
of hiring and training female personnel as dispatchers for at least
two shifts. This would free Law Enforcement Officers for regular
Police work. I recommend a study, analysis and recommendation be
made as quickly as possible. We have had excellent results with
"Meter maids". I am sure this proposal would work out equally as
well. Let us also evaluate the cost of maintenance on our Mobile
radio units at the same time.
Rochester's "Bed -Rock" economy is health and health -related services.
The cleanliness of our City is always excellent and is the subject
of envious commentary by the hundreds of thousands of people who
come here. We should guard this prestige jealously and strive to
maintain the highest degree of cleanliness. Yet, I am chagrined to fi
there are many, many areas where sidewalks and curbs have crumbled
,away. This condition should not, and must not, continue without
corrective action taken. I especially call your attention to
the condition of Firs.t Avenue between Second and Third Street S. W.
Filling the holes with black -top is only an expediency. It.will
take "Concrete" action. Mr. President, I ask that you instruct the
Public Service Committee to make this one of their "Firsts" on the
list of priorities.
The high cost of telephone service appears to be getting out of line
and, with the additional cost of more than $4,000. per year for 911
service, it will be even higher. I specifically refer to the Law
Enforcement Center for action study. A Minute study, Department by
Department, of telephone use and service, will, I_am sure, reveal
many ways we can save tax dollars.

_April 7, 1975 — Annual Meeting No. 1
All of us should.show concern over the lack.of a Long Range Planner
The present personnel have done a yeoman's job, but, with.the proposes
projects on the drawing boards,.we need help in this department now.
The furor over the sanitary landfill. appears to be subsiding due to
the excellent management and follow through on all the recommendation!
of the PCA. Studies are continuing on the Sewage Disposal Plant and
the Electric Plant. These two projects are monumental in monies
alone:
An evaluation of every department should be made by our City
Administrator to see what economies can be made in cutting down
costs without sacrificing the essential services that are necessary
to operate this City. This should give you a background in preparing
next year's budget.
Our compliments to the Personnel Department for reviving the Safety
program, preparation of the Affirmative Action Plan and many other
excellent projects. You and I and the.Citizens of Rochester can
take pride in the honesty, integrity and dedication of the City
employees. As taxpayers, they, too, take pride in this beautiful
and worldly city.
The. unemployment rate in Rochester is far less than, that of other
cities and the national scale. With better posture. in the building
trades predicted, our basic economy should be on the upswing.
There are many.challenging problems facing our City, but what is
life without challenges? There is nothing more exhilarating than
accomplishing an impossible.dream
Again, it will be my pleasure to work with you this coming year. I
will share your agonies and your success. I am always proud to
tell people I have a good Council to work with. Let us work.to-
gether as a team in making our City - Yours and Mine - a better place
to live.

Committee to follow up on the suggestions by Mayor Smekta.
