C-1 The following address was given by President Richard J. Postier:
Honorable Mayor, members of the Common Council, citizens of Rochester;
it is my honor and pleasure to officially congratulate Aldermen Duffy,
Powers and Solinger on their re-election to the Common Council. I
also wish to take this opportunity to thahk the citizens of Rochester
for re-electing me as Council President. As I reflect upon my past
ten years of service to the community as your Council President, I
ust admit that I am proud of the City government's provision of
quality service to the community at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer.
Despite the ravaging effects of inflation and the ever increasing
xpansion of the city with its resultant increasing demand for service!;,
e have been able to maintain very good services at a cost level to
the citizens which has been substantially below the general inflation
rate. We have been able to accomplish this due to the solid foundation
laid through diligent preparation in past years. The Common Council
as exercised careful budgetary controls, prudent planning and fiscal
responsibility in a manner that has resulted in the City of Rochester'
riple A bond rating, a rating recognizing governmental excellence.
s we enter the decade of the 1980's, faced with the uncertainties
created by continuing inflation, revenue reductions and possible
energy shortages, I am confident and optimistic that we will be able
o continue to provide quality services at reasonable costs, due to
he policies established by the Common Council which have provided
he basis for avviable and effective unit of government. Several
ajor improvements for which we laid the background in the 1970's are
aterializing after several years of work and dedication by the Common
ouncil. After nine years of study and preparation, we expect to
reak ground on a $53 million dollar Water Reclamation Plant in the
ext few weeks. This new Water Reclamation Plant will provide a
cry high quality treatment of the communitjr':s wastes and will hopeful y
rovide the capacity for the continued growth of the community for
any years into the future. After many years of planning :=accumulatio
f funding and construction, the southeast interceptor sanitary sewer
runkmain will be comple;i°d in the fall of 1980. This sanitary sewer
interceptor is very essential to allow for the continued orderly
growth in the eastern and southern portions of the community. We are
ontinuing to address the needs of the elderly in the community. The
enior Citizens Center is nearing total completion and ground has
een broken for the third major housing project for the elderly. Also,
or the first time the city government is directly addressing the

housing needs of low income families in the community. By the fall
of 1980, the Common Council, with. the assistance of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority, will finalize a project which will result
in the construction of 30 publicly owned low income family housing uni
The Common Council has done a very commendable job in providing basic
services to developing areas in order to ensure a planned and orderly
growth of the community. The northwest trunkline sewer, the southeast
sanitary sewer to the municipal airport, and the water towers in the
northwest and Country Club Manor areas are examples of the Council's
prudent policy guiding the growth of the city. We have made strides
in our efforts to assist in the revitalization of the downtown busines.
district, although the process of project formulation, reviews,
revisions and the shaping of a consensus amoung divergent interests
is oftentimes very tedious and slow. Our redevelopment efforts
continue to be hampered by the uncertainty of the downtown street
system that has been with us for so many years. I have urged the
resolution of' -.this- matter in the past, and I again hope that we will
be able to settle the matter of downtown street patterns in the coming
year and would welcome a referendum vote, if necessary. In closing,
I would ask the Common Council to take immediate action in the pass-
age of a resolAtion in support or denial of our future intent to be
involved in the purchase of the Chateau Theater for the Performing
Arts. We should give direction to any, and all groups involved. I
look forward to working with you in the coming year to provide the
best services possible to this fine community. Thank you.

C-4 The following is the address by Mayor Chuck Hazama: President Postierl
Council, Press, Staff, Ladies and Gentlemen, this afternoon, I can't
help but.feel like a member of a veteran team, reporting for its
first practice- with a positive and challenging season ahead of us.
We've reported.in-full strength, every member of the team a veteran,
experienced participant, with a lineup like this, we should be able
to attain any goal we set for ourselves. During the past year,
labels like Bubbling Enthusiasm, Perennial optimist, Tenacious, were
directed to the office, but it was only possible because members
of the team were doing their job. Let us, for a moment, reflect on
the ten goals that were listed a year ago as priorities: (1) Flood
Control (2) Downtown Redevelopment (3) Sewage Treatment Plant (4)
Open Government (5) MACADA.(6) Energy concerns (7), Management (8)
Traffic (9) Neighborhood concerns and finally (10) Beautification.
Don't ever, for a moment, ever think that the office was responsible
for achieving the levels we have attained to date, again, let me
say, it was a total team effort. Let me give you a progress report on
the goals: First of all, for the efforts that we have made on the part
of Council members that have visited Washington D.C. our Water Re-
sources bill has gone further this time then ever before,in the House
and has now gone to the Senate floor for approval. It still needs to
go appropriations committee along with the President signing it, but w
have some faith in that something will happen within a very short time
hether.it gets taken out from the rest of the Water Resources Bill or
not is an issue that we cannot control, but I think that we are still
working at it they don't give -us a chance to go through exactly the
ay the bill was introduced but we are positive something will come
off that.issue. Downtown Redevelopment I think without any question
any of the Council members,,citizens in the City of Rochester feel
ositive about some of the efforts that have been made within the
ast year by the part of the Council in the action that have been takes
y October 1 will see Riverside open up for a new development to the
owntown Development District. We are dealing with the West Center
treet parking ramp, dealing with Rauenhorst, we are dealing with
owntown development control. Many of these things as we have all work(
or for quite a few years, I know will bring some fruits to the City.
Thirdly, The Water Reclamation Plant is one where we have now received
approval, now waiting for final breaking of the initial ground. that we
eed to work on as soon as we receive our final O.K. from Chicago, I
m sure we will. I think that it is a milestone for the City of
ochester. There is no question that open government has been one of
he key things that we dwelt on and there is no question in my mind
_hat we have given citizens in our community a chance to do that. We
ave at the present time 23 different boards, commissions being served
n by over 210 volunteers who now give up their time and talents on a
voluntary basis. I think that is really outstanding. Fifth thing was
CADA, which is acronym from the Mayor's Advisory Committee dealing
ith alcohol and drug abuse. Two week ago, we saw some outstanding
features in our local paper along with the rest of the media which
ontM buted tremendously to make our public quite aware of the problem
e have in that area, and more will be forthcoming as they work.

have really added to beautifing our city in a very positive way. We .
even had groups calling to say " can we plant some flowers in a certaii
block in whatever part of the City, and I think that is great, a lot
of city pride , people are moving in that direction. Some of the
goals have been controversial, but I hope controversy never goes out
of fashion. I personally feel that when controversy becomes a crime,
our democracy is done for. All I ask is that those who are involved
in controversy sit in the chairs -of the elected officials. Throughout
history, we have learned that whenever unpopular ideas and controver-
sial discussion are denied, integrity and the search for truth and
freedom die. Before long, propaganda and prejudice rule, minority
rights vanish, and the freedom to differ, gone. In this beautiful
City, we encourage anyone to stand in our Chambers or other public
place, to speak about our government and its officials. We want
open government and we admire individuals who demonstrate an ability
to think, analyze, have the integrity and courage to fight for what
you think is right. There is an open invitation for honest, construct•
ive criticism on any issue. Rather have people light the candle in-
stead of cursing the darkness. A friendly word can mean so much. I
recall the story about this college president who happened to be walk-
ing across the campus with a young man after the graduating class
banquet. "Boy", he said, putting his hand on the boy's shoulder,"Ive
always liked you. I've always believed in you. You have great
possibilities. I know I am going to have the chance to be proud of
you someday. You've got it in you." Now, can you imagine what that
did for that young man? It nerved him against future discouragements.
It came back to him again and again when the going was tough. It
built him up and made future accomplishments almost a must. I know"
said Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, "You see, I was that Boy." The City
of Rochester can grow if members of our community are encouraged
and challenged like that boy. We have a lot to do, and we must look
at the 80's as the Decade for Progress. According to laws of engineer-
ing and aero-dynamics, a bumble bee isn't suppose to fly. Well, nobod3
bothered to tell the bumble bee, so he's busily flying around doing
his job. We need a lot of bees to take part in the life of the every-
day pulse of this great city. We have a remarkable history, and we
are looked upon as- one of the finest cities in the world. Many in
