To the Mayor & Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Subject: Veteran's Housing Project
at the County Fair Grounds
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the instructions of the Common Council, the Public
Grounds.Coinmittee has investigated the Veterans Housing Project at the
Olmsted County Fair Grounds. We have checked the present condition of
the buildings, the financial, status of the project; the legal aspects
of the use of the land and, through the Special Veterans' Committee, the
occupants of -these -buildings and their economic status.
Meetings have been held with the various groups involved, in
representatives of the County Board, -Fair Board, Welfare'Board, School
District No. 9, School District No;;132, the Veterans' Committee, the
City Treasurer and others,.
We have found a gratifying amount of cooperation on the part of
everyone concerned. Further information must be obtained from the State.
of Minnesota before we.will know next year's school status of the project
children. Attorneys Oscar Ronken for School District No 132 and A. H.
Clemens for School. District No. 8 ar.e making these contacts. There is a
possibility that the current year's schooling cost and that for last year
may be partially recovered through the usual state aid program.
Under the extension granted for the use of the land of the County
Commissioners and by a•letter from Dr. Christopher Graham, the project may,
be continued until -November 17th,.1953. It must be terminated by that
time. The condition of these already over -age, temporary, buildings
prohibits a further extension even with the repairs which must be made now.
The City's initial investment in sewer and water connections plus land
improvements can conceivably be recovered and dislocations cushioned for
tenants if the project is continued until June 15, 1953• _The Veterans'
Committee and the City Treasurer should be instructed, however, to begin
evacuating and removing these huts six months prior to that date to be
certain that all buildings are removed and the grounds put in a condition
suitable to the Fair 3oard by that date. June 15th is selected because
it is past the end of the spool year and still prior to County Fair dates.
It is recommended that five ofthe buildings, to be, allected by the
Veterans' Committee be turned over to the Fair Board for,the.use of the
ground. With the sewer and water connections they will also obtain, the
Fair Board will thus be at least partially compensated for the loss of
this parking space during previous fairs
The Veti
Veterans' Committee is entirely n accord with these recommendation;
as set forth in their Committee Report attached hereto.
It is an.ticipat•ed that some citizens may object 'to terminating this
project, but this Committee believes that when sober consideration is
given to the fact that these buildings cannot be, nor nevbr were expected
to last more than this length of time --then there'is no other solution
available. The City of Rochester has already been given ari extension on
the.use of the land. Further requests or usage could jeopardize the title
to the Fair Grounds.
The Committee wishes to emphasize the fine, intelligent work which is
being done by the Veterans' Committee and the City Treasurer in the
administration of the Veterans' Projmt.
We have requested the County•Commissloners, the County Fair Board, the
two school districts and the Veterans' Committee to incorporate the
minutes of their meetings the understandings we have mutually agreed on
so that no future misunderstandings will occur.
The Public Grounds Committee.urges the Common Council, if*it approves
this report, to pass a resolution based on the findings and recommendations
herein.
A further report on the schooling of the project's child residents will
be issued when further information is available.
Respectfully submitt(3d,
PUBLIC GROUNDS COMMITTEE,
Wayne Davis, Chairman
William Helmkay, Member
George Brumm, Member°
