The following is the annual address.as presented by President Postier
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL:
I wish to congratulate Aldermen Duffy, Powers and Solinger of their
reelection�to the City of Rochester. I also wish to thank the citizens
of Rochester for allowing me the honor to continue to serve them as
their Alderman at Large and Council President.
Some adverse facts must be faced in order to be dealt with. The divi�
iveness between City and County officials, between City elected offici
themselves, and between residents of our wonderful City is very real
and will not evaporate into thin air. I personally give my sympathy
and support to the citizens of Rochester who are presently involved it
litigation to regain some semblance of their rights as citizens.
However, when the litigation is settled and the final results are in,
we must work rapidly to unify all factions and leave the final
decisions in the hands of the City and County voters.
I have hid the honor of addressing you at the annual meeting of the
Common Council as Council President on many occasions over the past
years. There are some items which do not lend themselves to quick
solutions and I have probably referred to them in several of my annual
addresses. However, I do feel that the Council has made considerable
progress in resolving some of the community's long standing issues and
moving on to seeking solutions to other matters which face us. Some
of the major items I see facing us in the coming year are:
I. Downtown Development
The City has made substantial strides i.n the past few years in our eff-
orts to revitalize the Central Business District. Much of our success
in this area is attributed to the cooperation that exists between the
public and private sectors in seeking to revitalize the downtown
core. This cooperation is glso evident in the formulation of the
proposal to undertake the D development project. The D5 development
project will greatly aid the efforts to rejuvenate the downtown. For
the next several months, the City Council will be deeply involved in
is
making decisions which will hopefully make this project a reality.

2. 5th Street Extension
During the coming months, we will be making a decision on the routing
of the 5th Street N. W. extension from 4th Avenue N. W. to 2nd Avenue
N. E. This project is needed to relieve the traffic congestion .. in
the downtown area and to facilitate the east/west traffic flow througl
the downtown area. One of the most feasible routes involves the
Public Utility Steam Plant, however, a final decision on the 5th
Street extension must await the completion later this year of the
Public Utilities property needs study.
3. 6th Street S. E. Extension '
In the next couple of months, the Council will need to decide if the
6th Street S. E. extension project is needed or not. The Council has
previously indicated that any construction of this street would be pu
off into the 1990's, but the question of right-of-way acquisition was
left open. The Council currently has before them a request to make
a decision on acquiring the right-of-way needed to accomplish this
project. The needed right-of-way should not be acquired unless there
is a decision to eventually proceed with the construction of this
street.
4. Broadway Reconstruction
After years of discussing the need for a one-way street system in dowi
town Rochester, the reconstruction of Broadway was chosen as the best
alternative for a major traffic carrier through the Central Business
District. In the next several months, the Council will finalize the
plans for this reconstruction and this important project will be
initiated in 1986.
5. Civic Center
Bids have just been awarded to construct a new Civic Center for the
community. This new facility will be a tremendous asset for Rocheste
both economically and culturally. The construction of this facility
reflects the willingness of the citizens of Rochester to provide for
the amenities of life which make Rochester such a rewarding place to
live.
6. Flood Control
This topic has been with us for a number of years, but we are making
progress towards the goal of protecting our citizens from the ravages
and destruction of floods. During the coming year, we will actually
begin construction of one of seven retention reservoirs in the watersh
surrounding the City and we are optimistic that the U.S. Congress will
finally authorize the construction of the channel improvements planned
throughout the City .
7. Resource Recovery Facility
Last but not least, the Council will shortly be involved in reviewing
the proposed establishment of a resource recovery facility on the
grounds of the former .Rochester State Hospital. The proposal will nee
to be scrutinized very closely to ensure that the proposed usage is
compatible with the residential neighborhood and that the neighborhood

seeking satisfactory solutions to these items and the other matters
which will come before us in the next.12 months. Thank you.

The following annual address was presented by Mayor Chuck Hazama:
One of the first decisions that I had to reaffirm in my own mind as I
looked to our new year was to pursue and attempt to continue to
philosophically accentuate the positive in my job as Mayor. One of m
goals is to continually offer hope to people in our community no matt
how difficult the situation may seem to be, and we have had some
difficult decisions. I've convinced myself that whenever possible to
dwell on positive emotions like faith, hope, love and trust. No one

said it was going to be easy but with that for a philosophic base,
I can say that my five years as Mayor have been as thrilling and
memorable to me as the moment I saved the life of another human
being at the risk of my own.
All of us have failed many times, although most of us choose not
to remember those failures. I have chosen not to dwell on failure,
but to learn from it. My contention is, worry about the chances
you miss when you don't even try. I've learned to be realistic
on the job and try not to judge everyone by my standards. Perfection
is an ideal we all strive to attain but you must be realistic when
dealing with the public. In the movie, " On Golden Pond" Ethel
(Kathryne Hepburn ) was having a serious discussion with Chelsey
(Jane Fonda) about the relationship Chelsey had with dad, Professor
Norm Thayer who was played by Henry Fonda In their discussion,
Ethel commented to Chelsey, " Sometiimtes you have to look hard at a
person to realize he is trying the best he can." I have never
forgotten that statement as I see and deal with people every day.
Sometimes they are trying the best they know how.
In my initial state of the City address, I stated that we needed to
cooperatively work together to resolve the major issues that confro►itei
us. It is the key factor that will impact on the development-fand
growth of the City. That was five years ago and work together we
did. In those intervening years: 1. We have averaged 76.6 million
dollars in development and growth in the City, unprecedented and
unmatched in the history of our City. 2. We are one of twenty cities
in the country that have received a triple A bond rating with
Standard and Poors and Moodys. 3. We were the only City that passed
a major referendum in 1982 valued at 32 million dollars. This
project included the construction of our Mayo Civic Center and Flood
Control project scheduled with groundbreaking on the 15th'for the
Center and a spring start for the soil conservation service portion
Df our Flood Control Project. 4. We are ranked in the top ten
3f 285 Metropolitan areas in the Country for cities that are
economically strong and ripe for investments. 5. We officially cut
the ribbon to our 57 Million dollar Water Reclamation Plant, a
State of the art facility, and to date, the largest single public work!
?roject. 6. We celebrated the 125th anniversary for the incorporatioi
)f our City, a memorable and successful birthday which helped to lay
the foundation for Rochesterfest '84. 7. The Olympus -Lombard D5
)roject for the 50 million dollar downtown mall is making progress
vith Groundbreaking ceremonies sometime next spring. 8. Barclay
Square is breaking gorund which will give the City a total of ten
;hopping centers. 9. IBM announced 160,000 square foot addition whicl
vill give the corporation a total of 3,600,000 square feet of space
in the City with employees totalling 7,200. 10. The Mayo Clinic
announced the regional expansion program along with their local
long range plans, starting with their ten floor parking ramp.
In addition to all the projects mentioned we have Charter House in
)rogress, Covenant Church breaking ground at the Aboreteum, School
)istrict referendum passing, United Way making its goal and a
iundred other things that point to an outstanding record of progress

"We live only as we affect others" How each of us as individuals
have been able to make a di"fference in the lives of others. We
chose the theme five years ago, " You can make a difference" and
people throughout the community have made the difference as we
continue to keep Rochester one of the finest cities in the world.
We can look forward to an exciting and bright future because we
have people in our community who care and contribute towards making
this an even better City in the future. During the year ahead
we can look forward to developing. and implementing a coordinated
effort on the part of the public and private sector as we systematic-
ally inquire into further development. An organized effort by
every sector of the development community to give Rochester one of
the finest marketing teams. Our City is at the threshold of moving
into major development on every front and members of our community
should be proud because you have made that difference.
