M. , the following -members being present: President Bach, Aldermen Anderson, Moody, Schwanke, Tingley, Whiting. Absent: Alderman Schroeder until 9:20 p. m. Upon motion by Moody, second by Whiting, the minutes of the meeting of April 2, 1956 were approved. The following resolution adopted by the Public Utility Board was -read: "WHEREAS, all electric energy used within the -City of Rochester- • is generated within the City with no outside source of supply available for emergency, and WHEREAS, electricity is now so Important to all living comforts and to all businesses, and any interruption in its availability would have serious consequence, and WHEREAS, it is -the opinion of the Public -Utility Board that the City of Rochester, its people, and its industries, should have a greater guarantee of continuous service which can only be secured by an interconnection with an outside source of power, and WHEREAS, the Public Utility Board has received- a' proposal for such an interconnection from the Dairyland Power Cooperative, a Wisconsin Corporation, and after due consideration and study, -such a proposal now meets the approval of the Public Utility Board, and • -WHEREAS, a contract for such an interconnection, the outstanding features of which are embodied in a separate explanatory communication, is now ready for execution and recommended by the Public Utility Board. THEREFORE, be it and it is hereby resolved by the PUBLIC UTILITY BOARD, of the CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA, that the COMMON COUNCIL of the said City, be and is hereby requested to direct the execution of the said contract.". Mr. A. J. Lentfer, Secretary of the Public Utility Board, was present and gave a few reasons which he felt justified such an interconnection, namely that by making this interconnection, their generating plants would have a comfortable margin of safety and thereby would be able to give uninterrupted service to each of their customers. He further stated that there were two economic problems involved, the first being the postponing of a major expansion program for additional capacity, which at the present time is not needed, and the second being that it will be possible for more economical operation of our existing facilities by taking some power from Dairyland when it is more profitable than generating it ourselves due • to load conditions. He then stated that the contract would be for a period of ten years and provides that Dairyland will provide a 69 KV line, capable of delivering 20,000 KW from their new substation 42 miles east of Rochester to a substation which we will build in the Silver Lake Plant area. He then listed the following minimum purchase to be made by the City as stipulated in the contract: 6,500,000 KWH in 1957; 13, 000, 000 KWH in 1959; 20, 000, 000 KWH in 1959; 25, 000, 000 KWH in 1960 and 25,000,000 KWH in 1961. After hearing Mr. Lentfer and discussing the matter, Alderman Whiting introduced the following resolution which was read: "WHEREAS, the Public Utility Board by its resolution adopted on April 6, 1956 has pointed out the serious consequences in any interruption of the supply of electricity to the City of Rochester and had pointed out the desirability and necessity of an inter— connection with an outside source of power in order to have a • Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council 21 • of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 9, 1956 1 1 1 • 1 1 greater guarantee of continuous service, and WHEREAS, the Public 'Utility Board by the aforesaid resolution has, after due consideration and study, recommended to the Common Council the proposal for such an interconnection with the Dairyland Power Cooperative, and WHEREAS, the Public Utility Board has submitted a contract to the Common Council for the purpose of _accomplishing such, inter- connection with Dairyland Power Cooperative and has requested the Common Counbil to enter into such contract, and WHEREAS, the Common Council after due deliberation and study believes it would be in the best interests of the City of Rochester to have such an interconnection, NOW THEREFORE,be it resolved by the Common Council of the City of Rochester that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute the copies of the 10 year interconnection contract between the City of Rochester and the Dairyland Power Cooperative which are attached to this resolution.and made a part hereof."

However, this problem must be solved jointly with the State Highway Department; we therefore, are ready to vary the exact location of the South 300 feet of this street as shown on our plat.* Due to the topography, it seems advisable that the trunk sewer should extend North parallel to the railroad tracks area. We will dedicate the necessary easement for this purpose.

The following letter from the Board of Park Commissioners was -read and upon motion by Schroeder, second by Schwanke,.the same was referred to the Street & Alley Committee and the City Engineer: 1°Hon. Claude H. McQuillan, Mayor and The Common Council of. Rochester Gentlemen: 1 It has been brought to our attention that the owners of property called Southhome Addition, lying between llth Avenue and 13 th Avenue, fronting on &2 Street S. n., are desirous of platting at this time. Their plat makes provision for' 33'feet of 82 Street to come off of their property. The other 33 feet to come off of park property*. We, as custodians of public park property, are very reticent to give up any footage at any time without a definite advantage to the park system. However, in this instance we feel that a full width street would be very beneficial, not only to the adjoining property on the north, but to the park property bounding this street. 'If this street is allowed to go in, in half width, we feel that tb�e development of this part of Slatterly ,Park will be retarded for quite some time. But, if this street is constructed in full width, we will be able to develop this area quite soon, and it will be a terrific advantage to the developer of property on the north side of the street to have the assurance that this piece ofparkwill be developed in the near future. It will increase the valuation of his property and will certainly make the future homes there -much more desirable to live in. Consequently, we ask that you.make provisions for the development of the whole of this street at one time, and assess the costs against the property on.the north, or make some other provisions for the costs, other than assessing it against the abutting park property which we feel will be making a large contribution to the betterment of the neighborhood by the early development of that section of park property. Very sincerely, BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS By: Albert J. Toddie, President" A letter from M. J. Hoffman, Commissioner of Highways, State of Minnesota, was read. He stated that the study relative to the " effect of diagonal parking on traffic conditions on Broadway (U.S. 63) had now been completed and the information obtained in the survey indciated quite conclusively the need for changing over from diagonal to parallel parking on Broadway, and that the - advantages of resurfacing or otherwise improving Broadway would be largely lost unless parking practices were changed to permit increased capacity for traffic movement. He listed some of the more pertinent and significant findings and then stated that the change from angle to parllel parking will be required as a condition to the participation by the State in the resurfacing or other improvement of Broadway (U.S. 63).
