The following address was given by President Richard.J. Postier:
Honorable'Mayor and Members of the Common Council:
It is my honor and pleasure to officially congratulate Aldermen Paul
Allen and.Darrell Strain on their.re-election to the Common Council.
I also wish to congratulate Gordon Bluhm on his election as Alderman
of•the Fifth Ward, and welcome him to the Council. On behalf of the
citizens of Rochester, I wish to thank Robert Larson for his many
years of service to the people as Alderman for the Fifth Ward. We
wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.
As you well know, we are in the midst of some very difficult economic
times. Our sources of revenue are either declining or restricted,
while Ahe cost of maintaining the present level of -services is ever-;
increasing. Local governments are placed in a difficult position by
the State in that they are reducing the amount of revenues returned to
local governments, while at the same time they are placing limitations
on the amount of -revenues that a local government can request of its
citizens. The 'State government is'telling local governments to
tighten their belts and are restricting our ability to raise revenues,
while they are themselves, increasing taxes to support State govern-
ment.
The Council has dealt with City expenditures on a fiscally -responsible
basis for some years. We have approached City expenditures with a
belt -tightening philosophy, and at the same time have continued to
de liver quality -services to the people. We will undoubtedly have some
difficulty in the coming year in maintaining the present level of City
services, but the fact that we have kept our past governmental expend-
itures at a modest growth rate, will help us cope with this difficulty
The Council is sometimes the recipient of the accusation that it does
nothing, or is a hindrance in making progress. Yet I look back at the
past several years and I believe that the Common Council has very ad-
equately served the needs of the citizens without unduly interfering
in their everyday lives. In the past several years, the City has

C-1 achieved, or is in the process of achieving, several long-range obj-
ectives. The southeast sanitary sewer interceptor was completed in
1980. This sewer allows for increased sewer service in the eastern
and southern portions of the City, and provides for the orderly grown
of the City. A new sewage treatment plant is now under construction
and is planned to be completed in 1983. The project represents over
a decade of planning and preparation to get to this point. -
After several years of frustration, some progress is being made in
downtown development. The proposed Rauenhorst project and parking
ramp facility represent some positive movement in efforts to revitali
the downtown area of the City. If the financial market is favorable,
in the next couple of months, we should see the initiation of these
projects and I am hopeful that these projects will trigger further
development efforts in this area. We will get this one started, or
future development is endangered.
The people of Rochester can be proud of their government; they have
excellent Police and Fire Services,.one of the finest park systems in
the nation, good streets, water and electrical services and a dedicate
group of employees. I look forward to working with you in the coming
year to continue to provide the citizens of Rochester with' the govern-
mental services that they desire and deserve.
In spite of certain charges of non -leadership, I feel that this Counci
will continue to proceed forward in a fiscally -responsible manner, and
I am proud to be a part of it.
Thank you.

The following address was given by Mayor Chuck Hazama:
"People In the Process For Progress"
Many of us have had the experience of driving along a strange highway
observing the scenery and -the beauty of the countryside when all of a
sudden you're confronted by a steep hill. We start to wonder whether
your vehicle can.make the grade as you glance at your instruments.
As you.check your gauges you're wondering if the gas is sufficient,
oil pressure adequate and generator operating efficiently. Once you'
discovered that you have plenty of gas and your motor is purring like
a kitten, you're perfectly at ease.
In general, life is like that. We all have hills to climb and whether
we get over depends on the confidence and support we receive to carry
us safely over the top.
During the past year, the City has broken ground on our $53 million
dollar water reclamation plant, our largest single public works pro-
ject in our history. Open government is an accepted process. The
MACADA (Mayor's Advisory Committee on Alcohol -Drug Abuse) is complet-
ing their report, preliminary indications are that we will have some
very interesting facts. The Energy Awareness Committee is off and
running and has been instrumental in conducting energy related aware-
ness activities. Our City Administration is in good hands and manage•
ment of the day-to-day activities of city government has public
support. Neighborhood groups are getting involved and functioning on
the grass -roots level. Finally, the Governor awarded the City recog-
nition by designating us Tree City status for the outstanding tree
and beautification programs. These were seven of the ten goals I had
hoped to achieve by this date. They were achieved by hard work, unit2
of purpose, faith, and unselfishness on the part of our volunteers ani
staff.
Goals are ideals and they are needed because they reflect the highest
product of our imagination.. Unfortunately, we have made little pro-
gress on our traffic issue, flood control program, although we have

C-4 turned the corner on downtown development. Sometimes contemplating a
Ideal may not achieve perfection, but it produces some improvement.
We must.do everything possible to achieve those goals..
Life becomes drab and meaningless for our city if we do not establish
certain attainable goals. In our plans for the future, we should tak(
an approach that is hopeful and positive. It is our obligation to
leave our city a little better than we found it. These are the goals
for the city that I feel we need to focus around. They include:
1. Resolution of our traffic concerns.
2. Pursuing the funding for flood control.
3. Systematic development of our downtown district.
4. Supporting the Rochester State Hospital.
5.Referendum for the attraction center.
6. Encouraging new industry into our economy.
7. Extend volunteer participation in government.
8. Establishment of long-term goals for the city.
'In our internal affairs, Rochester can create a lively pattern that
will move its people to attempt great things. We have that type of
outstanding and vigorous leadership exemplified by the many accomplisi
ments in the past. We have a great city and each of us can help builc
this city to become one of the finest in the world. We have a momenta
that will enable us to grow and productively pursue our future. It
takes people in the process for progress. Identify with the builders.
the people who havejoined the process for progress in our city.
