Manager Van Milligen, Corporation Counsel

Mayor Buol read the call and stated this is a
special session of the City Council called for the
purpose of discussing the results of the Eagle
Point Bluff Study performed by Kleinfelder, Inc.
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos introduced Dr. Bill
Gates of Kleinfelder, Inc., who gave a Power-
Point presentation on the results of Phase I of
the Eagle Point Bluff Study. He stated that the
controlled blasting in 2003 had been conducted
appropriately; however, the causes for instability
and failure of the bluff was the excavation at the
base of the bluff that resulted in oversteepening,
which was exacerbated by the mechanical
excavation methods used. Various stabilization
options for commercial development, residential
development and for an undeveloped bluff were
discussed. These included controlled blasting,
controlled blasting with rock bolt reinforcement,
rock bolt reinforcement, and wire mesh drape
slope protection. The cost of stabilization ranged
from $180,000 to $350,000, depending upon the
method(s) used. He noted that removal of the
trees from fifteen to twenty feet behind the brow
of the bluff and the installation of horizontal
drains at the foot of the bluff would be necessary
with any stabilization option. The next phase of
the study will narrow down the final design for
stabilization, including more specific cost esti-
mates. In response to a question, Dr. Gates
stated that once the bluff was stabilized, devel-
opment at the base would not cause further
damage.
There being no further business, Michalski

purpose of discussing various City departmental
budgets.
The budgets for the following departments
were discussed: Human Rights Department;
Finance Department; Legal Department, City
Manager’s Office; City Council; and City Clerk’s
Office
Human Rights Department: Buol thanked the
Human Rights Director and staff for their contin-
ued efforts for the past year. Leticia Rose-Marin,
United Dubuque Immigrant Alliance, requested
that minorities be included as trainers in the
proposed diversity-training program for City
employees. Marcia Sola, 60 North Algona,
spoke of the strong resource the City has in its
minority population and stressed that they be
empowered to co-facilitate the diversity training.
Finance Department: Cline questioned wheth-
er the Finance Department had looked into
offering an even pay program. Finance Director
Ken TeKippe replied that they had not as
water/sewer bills tend not to fluctuate the way
gas and electricity do. However, he stated the
City does offer automatic withdrawal for pay-
ment of utility bills.
Legal Department: Corporation Counsel Lin-
dahl stated he was proposing to change the
name of the department to the City Attorney’s
Office, along with changing his title from Corpo-
ration Counsel to City Attorney.
City Manager’s Office: Michalski stressed that
although the decision package to provide for a
part-time Management Intern was not recom-
mended for funding it should be considered for
next year. Mark Wahlert, Chair of the Arts and
Cultural Affairs Commission, thanked the Coun-
cil for their support and their investment in

Police Department – Cline requested a dollar

additional Police Officers versus the amount of
overtime being paid. Police Chief Kim Wadding
stated there would be some savings in overtime,
but not significant. She also asked that this
decision package be looked at to see if it was
possible to add at least one Officer. Braig
questioned the update of the polygraph equip-
ment. Lynch questioned whether the department
was seeing an increase in identify theft cases.

Water Department: Michalski questioned why
City Clerk
the level of usage was going down when the
City seemed to be expanding. It was explained
that a comprehensive survey for leaks had been
conducted and the problem areas repaired and
also that many businesses had made improve-
ments to their operations, which resulted in a
cutback on usage. Michalski also questioned the
increase in chemical costs and Water Depart-
ment Manager Bob Green responded that this
trend would continue as some components were
becoming more difficult to acquire.
Water Pollution Control Plant: Connors ques-
tioned that if the life expectancy of the incinera-
tors was estimated at twenty years and were
now going on thirty years whether the replace-
ments would be significantly different with regard
to technology. Water Pollution Control Plant
Manager Jonathon Brown commented it would
be and that the decisions made now for the
replacement incinerators would affect the
operation of the plant for many years in the
future. Buol asked about how enactment of the
1972 Clean Water Act would affect Dubuque.
Brown replied that this would not have any
impact on the City’s facility, but could impact the
Airport lagoon. In response to a question,
Budget Director Dawn Lang explained that the
Water Pollution Control Plant was an enterprise
fund, which meant that it was self-supporting,
with no property tax support.
Public Works Department: Braig questioned

Braig expressed concern that the improvement
packages related to after-school programs for

for funding. City Manager Van Milligen provided
an overview of the budget process and stated he
would be coming back to Council to recommend
that $28,000 of improvement packages not be

requested that Council look closely at the budget
to see what could be given up in order to fund
the youth related programs.
