President John Hunziker called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. with the following members present: Councilmembers Mack Evans, Dennis Hanson, Marcia Marcoux, Jean McConnell, David Senjem, Walter Stobaugh. Absent: None. President John Hunziker gave the following Address to the City: Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you all for coming out this evening to share your views and listen as we discuss the business of the City of Rochester. I found myself both reflective and thankful as I prepared for tonight's address. On behalf of all of us at this table, I want to thank the staff and all the citizens of Rochester that worked so hard to prepare the community for the Y2K concerns. To the best of my knowledge, the community came into the new year with no problems. I believe this to be because of the thought and foresight of everyone involved. Throughout the last five years the City has experienced and dealt with a wide range of issues: a new animal shelter, creation of new jobs, citizens and police working together to combat crime and violence to make Rochester a safe community, neighborhood organizations, providing youth activities such as the Skate Park at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds, the Soldiers Field Bath House, a new high school and our ongoing quest for post -secondary education, the needs of people in health, education, recreation, and housing, barriers to minority groups involvement in City employment, manufactured homes, revisions to the subdivision ordinance, orderly growth and extension of City services, a human rights ordinance, highway 52, transportation and airport issues, negotiation a new cable TV franchise, and cleanup of the old landfill site to name a few. To deal with the wide range of issues I just alluded to, the City along with the County, School District, the Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of involved citizens organized three groups to give us their thoughts, advice and direction. Children First Olmsted County, the Infrastructure Task Force, and the 215t Century Partnership. The ideas put forth by these groups and acted upon by the Council have made Rochester a place where people like to live and do business. Looking back, I believe that we have made good, well thought out decisions that have benefited the people we serve. We have a dynamic community that offers much to its people. We have low unemployment, a growing commercial and industrial base, strong interest in downtown development, and a vibrant overall economy. This past year the City has focused much effort on affordable housing. We have provided TIF assistance to 398 units and bonding assistance to 613 units. Our sales tax -funded water quality program has received petitions covering 1,116 existing developed lots in Marion and Rochester Townships that will provide significant assistance to the homeowners and protect the quality of the community's drinking water supply. o 1 RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA Annual Meeting No. 1 — January 3, 2000 5761 Agenda Item We completed the re -franchising of cable TV to a state-of-the-art system including high speed data access. We also secured additional institutional network and public access system benefits for the School District, County, City and University Center. The relocation of Fire Station #4 to 41st Street N.W. was completed. The base work for the airport runway extension is ready to be paved this year. The new Soldiers Field Bath House was opened to the public and was used beyond anyone's expectations. Nearly 400 million dollars in new construction, 645 single-family units, 459 multi- family units, and several large commercial/industrial projects were processed and work begun. Finally, the Law Enforcement Center's dispatch and record keeping systems were brought on line. The first thing I believe we should do this year is to have a strategic planning session with the Council and department heads. All that the community is currently involved in will take thought and planning on all our parts to do well. We have gone from a time of declining revenues and needing to encourage economic development to, as the paper stated, "being overwhelmed by it". The 21 st Century Partnership Task Force reports are done and work has begun on implementing the ideas. I believe that the groups involved in setting up the process should have a person whose job it is to see the implementation to fulfillment. I do not want to see the ideas that came forth slide to the back burner because people are so busy with things that come up day-to-day. I will be working with the City, County, School District, Mayo Clinic and the Chamber of Commerce to jointly fund this position for the next one to two years to see this project to completion. As the City grows, we need to acquire a future relocation site for Fire Station #3, 2nd Street S.W. and a possible site for a new Fire Station #5 in the southern part of town. Hopefully, we will commence construction on the expansion of the Civic Center and begin construction on the Regional Recreational Sports Center at the University Center Rochester to the benefit of the students and the community. We hope to begin the Cascade Lake planning and development. We are waiting to hear about funding for eight additional police officers. Hopefully the Times Square development issues will be resolved within the next three months. The Council will continue to strongly represent the City's interest in mitigating the harm to the community that could be caused by the increased train traffic proposed by the DM&E Coal Train Project. City representatives have met and will continue to meet with the DM&E to find a way to keep millions of tons of coal and the trains that will carry it from destroying the lifestyle of Rochester for the 85,000 people we represent. RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA 5762 Annual Meeting No. 1 — January 3, 2000 Agenda Item D-2a-d D-3 Affordable housing continues to be a high priority for the City Council. I want to take a moment to publicly thank the Mayo Foundation and the Rochester Area Foundation for initiating the First Homes Program whose aim is to produce 875 homes and townhomes. While this is an excellent beginning, it is clear that we will have a continued need for housing that meets the needs of all income levels. We will continue to work towards making Rochester a welcoming community that acknowledges the good that comes from a diverse community made up of many cultures and lifestyles. We will continue to advocate for higher education opportunities through GRAUC as a way to train or retrain our workforce and offer life-long educational opportunities for the regional community. Lastly, Holmes and Hawthorne schools have served our community for over 60 years. It is time to build a new grade school in southeast Rochester that offers all the benefits and new technology that is available in grade schools in the other three quadrants of town. It is my hope that the whole community of Rochester will support a new grade school the way we all supported Century High School. These children are our future. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the Mayor and Councilmembers for the countless hours which they spend tending to the affairs of the City. I believe that I speak for the entire Council when I say, we are your representatives, and we can accomplish anything if we work together as a community. Thank you.
