The City of Dubuque has been a partner with the Antique Fire Club as they restored the
former City of Dubuque 1948 Seagraves Tiller Ladder Fire Truck. The intent was that
the City would take over ownership upon completion of the vehicle restoration.
The restoration project is substantially complete and the ladder truck is back in
Dubuque.
Fire Chief Dan Brown recommends acceptance of the donated vehicle.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval

SUBJECT: 1948 Antique Fire Truck
DATE: November 18, 2008
The Antique Fire Club of Dubuque has owned the 1948 Seagraves Tiller Ladder Fire
Truck since 1994. The club has raised funds to restore this truck for the purpose of
display, education and to preserve a part of Dubuque history.
The bulk of the restoration work has been completed leaving just a couple of small
items that the club will finish up shortly. The truck has been returned to Dubuque and is
operational.
The Antique Fire Club wishes to donate this truck and transfer the title and registration
to the City of Dubuque. The club still has an outstanding debt of $15,000 for the
restoration. The club also wishes to have access and use of the truck for fund raising
events. A letter of understanding between the Antique Fire Club and the City of
Dubuque is attached.
This antique fire truck has served the citizens of Dubuque for 44, years and operated at
the Clarke College fire. This will be an exciting time for Dubuque to have this historical
fire truck restored and returned for the citizens to enjoy.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council to approve and accept this donation
to the city.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will partially fund the restoration of the 1948 Seagrave 100' Aerial Truck.
JUSTIFICATION
This truck was originally part of the Dubuque Fire Department until it was retired in 1982. It is possibly the only one like it in the country, and restoring it to original
condition would have historical and educational value. The truck is currently owned by the Antique Fire Club in Dubuque and they are in the process of raising funds for
the restoration. They plan to apply for a DRA Grant and also solicit funds from private contributors. The cost estimate for the restoration is $100,000. In the event the
Antique Fire Club would dissolve, the bylaws provide for the truck to return to the City of Dubuque. When a new fire station is built on the west-end some time in the
future, space to house this unit will be considered.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
This project implements the Comprehensive Plan's Public Safety Element: Goal 9.2.

Jim Weitz of the Antique Fire Club has informed me that the restoration of the 1948
Seagrave 100' Aerial Antique Tiller Truck is almost complete. The Club has raised
$79,000 towards the renovation, but the project is still $6,000 short. The City is
providing $33,000, and Fire Chief Dan Brown has identified a savings of $8,000 in the
Fire Station No. 2 Roof Replacement Project that could be used to fill the $6,000
funding gap. The City of Dubuque will own the truck when it is restored.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the commitment of an
additional $6,000 to this project.

Mr. VanMilligen,
This letter is to inform you of the status of the 'Tiller Truck Project". As of this date we have raised
$79,000. toward the project and have had $6,000. of in-kind work donated.
Some of the major contributors include: Robert and Susan Woodward who have given $11,000.
toward the restoration work; Steve and Lyle Whalen who have donated all of the chrome work on the
#ruck with a value of $6,000, and Dave Spahn of Dubuque Stamp who donated $2,000 toward the job.
Then there are several other people who gave in all different amounts.
We are nearing completion of the entire project and feel we are going to be about $6,000. short of
completion. We could not have even started this project without the help and support we received from
you and the City of Dubuque -especially the Dubuque Fire Department.
When completed the Tiller Truck will be a great asset to the City of Dubuque and to the history of
this town for many years to come.
We would appreciate any and all help we can get from here on to complete the project.
Tha You,
