CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA
Annual Meeting - June 4, 1979
Duly elected members of the Common Council of the City of Rochester,
Minnesota elected at an election duly held on May 15, 1979 were sworn
in by the City Clerk. Members swearing to the oath of the Common
Council were as follows: Mayor ChuckHazama, Aldermen Darreh.l?Strain
First Ward, Paul Allen, Third Ward,` and Robert Larson, Fifth Ward.
A-1 President Postier called the meeting to order,at 2:00 P.M., the
following members being present: President Postier, Aldermen Allen,
Duffy, Larson, Powers,Solinger and Strain. Absent : None.
C-1 The following address was given .by President Richard J. Postier:
It is my honor and pleasure, on behalf of,;the Common Council, to
officially congratulate Aldermen Allen, Larson and Strain on their
re-election to the Common Council and to congratulate Chuck Hazama
on his election as Mayor of.the City of Rochester. I welcome
Chuck as a new member of the governing body of the City of Rochester
and look forward to a productive working relationship together.
This marks the tenth year that I have had the honor to address the
Mayor, Council and the citizens of Rochester as Council President..
at the annual meeting of the Common Council. As I look back over the
accomplishments of the .past decade, I can honestly say that I am
proud to have been associated with the government of the City of
Rochester. I believe that the City government has done an excellent
job of providing a high level of quality City services in an ever.
expanding City while maintaining reasonable taxes in these times
of adverse inflationary pressures. I am optimistic that as we
enter the 1980's we have the solid basis needed to continue to pro.vidl
the same quality of service that the citizens of Rochester have
enjoyed in the past. Looking.at the remainder of 1979'and the beginn
ing of the 1980's, several major efforts begun in the seventies
are nearing completion or showing concrete results.- After many
years of planning and investigation, construction of an advanced
wastewater treatment plant is about to be initiated. This very
substantial expenditure for a wastewater treatment facility
utilitzing some of the most advanced technology presently available
underscores the City's commitment to improving water quality in the
Zumbro River. The revitalization of the downtown area has long been
a concern of the Common Council and it appears that our efforts
in this area are starting:to pay off. The Riverside Development
project is underway and there:.aremany additional.projects in various
stages of development that will be presented to the Common Council foi
their consideration in the -coming year. In these times of high
interest costs and a short money supply, we will be faced with some
difficult dec,isions.concerning the financing of the proposed projects
I would prefer that the City'.s involvement. in the development project!
be fairly restricted tothe public improvements necessary to make a
development project viable and that we do not become involved in the
public financing of a project unless there are unique and ex-
tenuating circumstances which justify City backed tax exempt financinc
The one-way street pair is a question that'has been with us too long
and needs to be settled soon. I have previously urged that a public

referendum be held on this matter as soon as possible and I reiterate
that request now. I would suggest that a referendum on this matter
be held in the fall of 1979 in order that we may proceed in deciding
on the development of the City and the necessary traffic patterns
with the benefit of knowing whether or not a one-way pair street
system is to be constructed. The proposed flood control project
for the City of Rochester is closer to a reality than ever before
and the devastating flood of 1978 pointed out the need to proceed
with flood control as quickly as possible. I would hope that
Congress authorizes the construction of both the Army Corps of
Engineers project and the Soil Conservation Service yet this calendar
year so that the eventual construction of these projects is not
delayed further. After several years of City funding and the ded-
icated work of many citizens, the Senior Citizens Center is now open
and operating. I am pleased to have been a part of this undertaking
and will continue.to work to ensure that the needs of our elderly
citizens are considered. I believe that the City has done an ad-
mirable job in recent years in providing sewer and water into areas
of aniticipated growth. The Northwest trunkline sewer and water
tower project is a good example of a.planned and orderly -extension o
the City. I urge a continuance of this type of growth planning for
the further extension of essential city services. I fully believe
that we also must continue our policy of annexation as a requisite fo
supplying these services. I would hope in this coming year, to provi
the leadership necessary to complete the planning.and the start of
construction on our first new parking ramp in the core of downtown.
I would urge the Downtown Development Advisory Board to take immediat
action in forwarding the proposal of Delta Associates to the Council,
and to proceed actively in negotiations with the Jefferson Bus group.
Although these projects are not as: big as some, we may be able to
proceed at a more rapid pace and get some construction underway in
a shorter period of time. As I have said in many other years, I look
forward to working with you to continue to provide the quality of
services which make Rochester such a fine city. Thank you.

C-4 The following is the address by Mayor Chuck Hazama:
"The Possible Spirit" -.Today is a new day in my life, as everday
is a new day in each one of.your lives .... But it has a special
significance to me because today I am to be inaugurated as the Mayor
of this .great City located in the heart of the midwest. I would like
to extend my appreciation to all of you who made it. possible for a
small town boy from Puunene, Maui to become Mayor of this world
famous City. One week after the historic flood that devastated and
ravaged our City, the Post Bulletin in an editorial stated, " The
Spirit and inner strength of Rochester and area residents are being
tested... and from what we hear, the test results show what we
thought to be true- Most of the flood victims are red-blooded,
tough, determined souls who will overcome whatever setback they face",
There was definitely a nothing is impossible spirit prevailing in the
City and with an outstanding; magnificent demonstration of cooperativf
voluntary action, we moved to solve our problems and advance our own
welfare. One of my favorite stories is Richard Thurman's," The
Countess and The Impossible". It's a story about a thirteen year
old boy who meets and English woman in a town in Utah, as he was cutt-
ing across her lawn shortcutting through her hedge, he got close
enough to her and was rapped on his hear with her,cane stating,
young man, I want -to talk.to you ' During the conversation, she.
asked him if he took care of his lawn to which he answered, "Yes

Ma'am." Good, she replies, I've lost my gardener, be at my house at
seven Thursday morning and don't tell me you have something else to
do. I've seen you slouching around on Thar sdays. He showed up on
Thursday and mowed the lawn three times and was down on all fours
looking for weeds till his knees were as green as the -grass. When
asked how much he wanted for his day's work, he replied, I don't
know, Fifty cents, maybe. The countess replied by saying, " Is that
what yor figure you're worth?" and proceeded to give him his fifty
cents. Now, she said I'm going to tell you how you and I are going ti
work together. There are as many ways of mowing a lawn as there are
people, and they may be worth anywhere from a penny to five dollars.
Let's say that a three dollar job would be just about what you've
done today, except that you would do it all by yourself. A four
dollar job would be perfect that you'd have to be something of a
fool to spend that much time on the lawn. A five dollar lawn is -
well, impossible, so we'll forget about that. Now each week I'm
going to,pay you according to your own evaluation of your work.
Each Thursday for the next five weeks, it was a; three to three and
a half dollar job. You'r a good consistent three fifty man, and don'.
feel bad, there's only a handful of people in the world who could
do a four dollar job. It was comforting at first, but became an
irritant and made me resolve to do that four dollar job. It was in
the middle of such a'sleepless night that he had to tackle the five
dollar job. I had to do'that job that.no one could do because it
was impossible. He was acquainted with the -challenges ahead. Early of
Thursday he started with the rolling out of the -mounds, trimmed the
garden edges exactly.with a yardstick and edger', mowed the lawn
four times, twice lengthwise and two times across until it looked
like a green checkerboard, dug around every tree, trimmed the grass
between the flagstone till the shears wore his fingers raw.Finally
about eight o'clock he ran home for a bite of supper. He was so
proud that he didn't even feel_.tired when he went up to her door."
" Well,.what is it today," she asked. "Five Dollars" he replied with
calm sophistication." but I said a five dollar lawn was impossible"
She replied. "Yes it is, and I just did it." he answered. I know
how you felt because the same thing happens to'almost everybody. The,
feel this sudden burst in them of.,wanting to do some great thing. Th(
feel a wonderful happiness. But then it passes because they have
said, "No I can_.t do that, it's impossible." The challenges we face
in Rochester are possible to attain. We are blessed with citizens
who display a quality to work towards the good of our community.
Evidence of this quality is alive with individual and group action
for the common good still the order of the day. I will attempt
to briefly repeat what I have felt the issues we need to resolve.
Throughout the campaign, I have stated that our top priority should
be the resolution of our flood control program. We need to,step up
our efforts to get the first spade turned on this project. Downtown
Redevelopment is on the move and we need to break ground on our ramp.
Other projects on the drawing board need to be acted upon. Our first
meeting with some of the;interested citizens, dealing with drug
n
abuse is scheduled and we are hoping to move to resolve some of the
issues regarding his problem. I prop_.°sed to conduct an open governmei

Appointments to boards and committees will not be"made until I have
had an opportunity to speak with the individuals who are currently
in those positions. If there are citizens interested in serving in
any of o-ur boards and committees, please take the time to write to
.indicate that interest. We have flourised in a climate of economic
social and political freedoms. We have learned to give voluntarily
of our time, talents and resources. This expression of giving with
the obligation in the welfare of our own community is the quality
that makes us unique. You don't find it in too many places in the wor

problems if we hope to continue to exercise the virtues and values
which have made America great. We can accomplish whatever goal we
set for.ourselves and with the cooperation of the Council along with
a concerned citizen input, the possible spirit in all our endeavors
will prevail. Together, we can make the difference. Thank you.
.At this time Mayor..Hazama presented former Mayor Alex P. Smekta with
