stated that the area he is,goi,ng to give to the City was different
than they agreed upon in the original project agreement. He wanted
to have this new area in writing before permission would be given
to begin. Fred Suhler, City Attorney also agreed that any transactil
should be done in writing.
Alderman Strain and Alderman Bluhm stated that the City should
cooperate with Mr. DeWitz and grant him the agreement so that

have this agreement signed and in our hands before we grant Mr.

minute and he was instructed to have the agreement approved by
the appropriate city staff and bring this back in final form for

C-1 Address by Nancy Selby, Alderman At Large
Honorable, Mayor, Members of the Council, Staff and those in
the audience:
Personally speaking, this has been the fastest year of my life.
There is never a dull moment and I never have to worry about what to
do when I wake up. If you like living life on the edge, dealing with
challenges and making a difference, this JOB IS FOR YOU!
I would like to compliment the Mayor and my fellow council for
their 150% dedication & devotion to this great city of ours. Five of
the seven councilmen are employed fulltime outside the house and I
respect their work week at times runs 50 to 60 hours. In addition,
add 20 to 30 hours of council work and committees and you can see it
takes a hardy individual not only to relish the job but thrive on it.
I compliment the 150% dedication and devotion of our staff - the
extra efforts they do to provide services - sometimes beyond the call
of duty - and for their thorough and thoughtful planning.
I appreciate it that we approach challenges as a team, in a
positive manner - where we all take credit for success.
I thank the media for the time and energy devoted to carrying the
council message to the citizens. I look to the media as a check and
balance on government.
I thank the citizens for your phone calls, letters, attendance
at meetings and for taking the time to CARE. Sometimes it's lonely al
the top, particularly when I am only hearing from one side of the
question. I like to look at all sides - pro and con - and then decidE
what is in..the.best in.terest.=of.the communi.ty..

CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA
Annual Meeting NO. 1 - June 5, 1989
Since June 1988, there's been alot of pulling together and
getting things up and running and I feel the pulse and tempo of the
city is at an all time high.
I've been asked "What is the city doing for encores?"
I mention the nucleus of obtainable goals for the Council Goal
Setting Session in January, and I look forward to continued goal
settings with city department heads in the coming future.
In the next year, we will be dealing with (in no particular, order)
city space needs, flood control projects, additional parkland, land
development, recycling, solid waste, clean air, water policy, assess -
is in newly annexed areas, homeless, mass transportation and higher.
education - just to mention a few projects.
The biggest CHALLENGE that I see is how to fund a.lot of good
projects put forth by a,lot of good people. Where is the money coming
from? And do you want the project badly enough to pay for it?
Our creative and innovative skills are going to be really tested
in the next few years. I ask those of you listening to participate
with your positive thoughts - let us hear from you.
It is my intention to be very open, put all the cards on the
table, keeping the citizens informed FROM THE BEGINNING of these
exciting ideas.
I ask of you, the citizens, to listen to the whoe story and
ask a,lot of questions, if you have them, before you make up your, min
prematurely. We're in this together m Thank you.

Annual Meetinq No. 1 - June 5. 1989
Address by Mayor Chuck Hazama:
STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE:
As I prepared for my sixth State of The City Address, I could not hel[
but reflect on a day we will be celebrating on the sixth month of the
year. June 18 is Father's Day and I could not help but reflect on my
Dad who passed away six years ago.
My Father was a great role model for me. He coached, moderated,
volunteered and spent thirty years as a scout leader. He was involve in
church, community and family and most importantly he was interested i
people and people liked him.
Charlie or Dad, as I called him, was the oldest of six children born
of immigrant parents who had the responsibility to establish a trad-
ition of strong family relationships. His perception of family
required parents as leaders with a responsibility that was driven by
a tight family structure.
The family bestowed a lot of love in nurturing their children and a
lot of respect towards the elders. We never talked back to our parent
or grandparents - I remember at twelve, I did talk back to Grandma one
and I vividly remember to this day, the consequence of the incident.
But as family we were giving towards our friends and neighbors in tim
of crisis, emergency or, want. His consciousness had a lot in common
with the ideals and values of his immigrant Dad, My Grandfather.. They
brought with them ideals and values that come out of the recognition
that life is hard and tough and for some people it is that way everyd
My Dad never became a wealthy man but he was rich in love and exemp-
lified a person who was destined to serve his fellow human beings.
He made life less hard for me by making sure I received a college
education and helped in every way to achieve my goals in life. He wa!
so proud when I was elected Mayor, of our city in 1979, six years ago.
What makes life hard is relatively the same for all of us. It is
sickness, loss of family members, failure in your, job, getting old,
being alone and losing your sense of independence. People sometimes
suddenly age after a serious illness or the death of a spouse. Some
lose interest in everyday life and leave families in shock.. As we
look to this new term and plan for the next decade - it is my hope
that we continue to nurture our. consciousness that we are all family
or at least a neighbor concerned about the inevitable hard times that
people experience and be willing to support others in time of need.
Our gift to our. community is the legacy of caring and love that has
been a tradition in Rochester. We have experienced a glorious 130
year history, In ten and a half years, we enter anew millenium.

Annual Meeting No. 1 - June 5. 1989
Can we, in the last decade of this century continue to add to the
great history of the past?
Will we fulfill the need of our community by continuing to develop
and grow as we have these past years?
How will we resolve the issues of clean water, recycling, affordable
housing, and the water reclamation plant?
What will we do about our library, joint city/county facility, per-
forming arts complex and sports facilities?
We have a lot to do, but when we come to the turn of the century, let
it be truly said of us that we are all family here and that we
carried our tradition of -caring to new heights.
Thank you.
