Improvement Package Summary
1 of 8
This improvement level request provides for the creation and installation of additional pollinator areas
throughout the park system. Currently there are pollinator beds at AY McDonald Park, Pyatigorsk Park, and
Eagle Point Park. Additional areas have been planted with native plant species which also create pollinator
habitat. These areas include Valentine Park, Bee Branch Creek Greenway, Creekwood Park and Eagle
Point Park. This funding would provide for pollinator areas at Murphy Park, Flora Park, and other park
locations. This improvement request supports the City Council Goal of Sustainable Environment:
Preserving and Enhancing Natural Resources by eliminating steep slopes that are typically mowed while
providing a beautiful landscape.
Related Cost: $ 42,000 Tax Funds Non-Recurring Recommend - No
Property Tax Impact: $ 0.0165 0.17%
Activity: Parks Area and Maintenance
2 of 8
This improvement request is for installation of a sidewalk along Miracle League drive that would connect with
the existing sidewalk in Veterans Memorial Park. Usage of Veterans Memorial Park has seen a huge
increase since the installation of the Miracle League Complex. Currently citizens must walk down the street
to enter the park once they are near the entrance gates. This creates a safety issue for pedestrians and
vehicles. This improvement request supports the City Council goal of Connected Community:Equitable
Transportation, Technology Infrastructure and Mobility by providing safe ADA accessible pedestrian access
to Veterans Memorial Park.

Activity: Park Areas & Maintenance
3 of 8
This improvement level request provides for hiring a contractor to maintain numerous natural and native
landscapes throughout the City. In recent years, native plants have been planted in the Bee Branch Creek
Greenway, Valentine Park, Four Mounds Park, Eagle Point Park, Creek Wood Park, 32nd Street Detention
Basin, and along the Catfish Creek. These areas all require a level of maintenance. The Park Division does
not have the capacity to manage all these areas effectively or efficiently. Maintenance includes, mowing,
burning, removing invasive and other best management practices to sustain a healthy prairie and native
landscapes. There is funding in FY22 to create a natural resources management plan and this funding
would allow implementation of the plan once completed. This improvement request supports the City
Council Goal of Sustainable Environment: Preserving and Enhancing Natural Resources by using best
management practices to maintain these areas and create beautiful and attractive landscapes.
Related Cost: $30,000 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend - No

4 of 8
This improvement request is for hiring a contractor to deliver and pickup collection containers for green
waste materials including prunings, wood chips and miscellaneous tree branches and leaves. The Park
Division does not have an efficient way to haul green waste to the landfill for recycling. Currently most
green waste is taken to an area at Eagle Point Park for disposal. Other City Departments also occasionally
take their small piles of green waste to Eagle Point Park. This improvement level package will provide for a
20-yard dumpster to be delivered to a centrally located drop-off site for Park Division staff to haul their green
waste to. The Park Division can generate up to 100 yards or more of green waste a year. As more
landscapes are added, the number of yards of green waste will continue to increase. This improvement
request supports the City Council Goal of Sustainable Environment: Preserving and Enhancing Natural
Resources by recycling green waste in an efficient and effective manner.
Related Cost: $10,000 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend -Yes
Property Tax Impact: $ 0.004 0.04%
Activity: Park Areas & Maintenance
5 of 8
This improvement request is for removing some vegetation and invasive plants along the Highway 20
corridor from Locust Street to Grandview Ave. The edges of the woodland areas have begun to "creep" into
the maintained areas of landscaping along the corridor. The request would provide funds to hire a
contractor to remove some of this "creep" as well as remove some of the invasive plants that are thriving.
This will improve the overall look of the corridor as well as remove unwanted and invasive vegetation along
the corridor. This request supports the City Council Goal of Sustainable Environment: Preserving and
Enhancing Natural Resources by enhancing the beauty of the Highway 20 corridor and removing unwanted
and invasive plants.
Related Cost: $ 50,000 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend - No
Property Tax Impact: $ 0.0197 0.20%
Activity: Greenhouse

6 of 8
This improvement level request provides for installing four forced air gas heaters in the buildings that adjoin
the Park Division greenhouse. An improvement level package was approved in FY19 to install heaters in
the greenhouse. An additional improvement level package was approved in FY21 to complete the
conversion of boiler heat in the greenhouse to natural gas. This request would allow for four heaters to be
installed in the buildings connected to the greenhouse to complete the conversion from boiler heat to natural
gas on the west side of the park maintenance headquarters complex. It is also anticipated that these four
heaters will save approximately $2,000 in gas utility cost. This request supports the City Council Goal of
Financially Responsible, High Performance City Organization: Sustainable, Equitable and Effective Service
Delivery by updating outdated equipment and decreasing utility costs.

This improvement request is for a mural to be installed on the end of the pole building next to the All
Veterans Memorial on Chaplain Schmitt Island. The All Veterans Memorial has become a destination for
visitors. The pole building is located closest to the Tri-State Vietnam Veterans Memorial area. The end of
the building provides a blank canvas for a mural that could be installed to continue the theme of the
memorial area. The City Council identified Chaplain Schmitt Island Master Plan: Implementation as a City
Council Policy Top Priority. This improvement request supports the City Council Goal of Diverse Arts,
Culture, Parks and Recreation: Experiences and Activities.

This improvement request is for City's share for the trails plan update. The Tri-State Trail Vision Plan was
completed in 2008 and has not been updated since that time. Numerous trails and projects have been
undertaken since that time. The Imagine Dubuque Plan calls for action to link neighborhoods via trails and
open spaces and provide recreational opportunities for all. ECIA will be the consultant leading the planning
effort in FY 23. The plan will be paid for by DMATS, Dubuque County,Asbury and the City as primary
funders. This planning will assist the City in being grant ready for infrastructure funding. This improvement
request supports the City Council Goal of Connected Community: Have well maintained, improved
transportation systems- vehicles, roadways, sidewalks and trails.
