Discussion was held by the Council on the letter of intent to the
Corps of Engineers for the South Fork Zumbro River Flood Control
Project. The letter that was suggested to be sent would contain the
phrase that the City of Rochester woul:d be compelled to undertake
the project even at a 35% cost share if there is absolutely no alter-
native. The House and Senate version would contain the 25% limit,
but in the event that this would not pass, the City of Rochester woull
be in a position to consider 35% if it would be necessary. Aldermen
at this time feel that by committing the 35% (to be..considera) the
City of Rochester would not be in a good position to win the 25%.
Alderman Strain stated that pbople on the Flood Committee were aware
of the drafted language and stated that if the 35% was put in the
letter, the City would have a better chance of being considered at
all. Alderman Solinger agreed. President Postier stated that the
City would have a moral obligation to stay with the 35% if it was
stated that the City "would consider". Having no further discussion,
Solinger moved, Duffy second to accept the amended letter using the
following terminology: "The project, htwever, is� extremely vital to
public safety and property protection needs of the community such tha-
the City would consider undertaking the project at whatever cost shar(
is finally adopted by Congress."' Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion carried.
E-5 Allen moved, Powers second to adopt Resolution.No. 604-84 approving
