Gentlemen: Since the parking meters have been installed in the business dis- trict and new parking regulations Put into effect surrounding the con- gested business area a hazardous condition has arisen in connection with parking cars on west 5th Street west of Bluff Street. Auto- mobiles are being parked on both sides of this narrow thoroughfare at the bottom of a very steep hill which involves sharp curves near the foot of the descent. In the in- terest of public safety I recommend that parking be prohibited on the southerly side of West 5th Street from the west line of Bluff Street to a point opposite the west line of Lot 12 of Corell's Dubuque and that parking be prohibited on the north- erly side of West 5th Street begin- nng at a point 196 feet west of the west line of Bluff Street and ex- tending thence, westerly to the west line of Lot 12 of Correll's Dubuque. I further recommend that a two hour parking limitation between the hours of 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Sundays and holidays excepted, be adopted for the northerly side of West 5th Street from the west line of Bluff Street westerly 196 feet. The adoption of these suggested amendments to the parking ordi- nace will eliminate a potential source of clanger to life, limb and property. Respectfully submitted, Joseph H. Strub Chief of Police.

May 22, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the attached petition of Mr. B. A. Schueller et al, requesting rezon- ing of his property at Central Av- enue and 30th Street to Local Busi- ness classification, the Planning and Zoning Commission respect- fully recommends denial of the petition, for the following reasons: (1) The request involves the re- zoning of a single piece of prop- erty which is illegal. (2) Undoubtedly the locating and operation of a bowling alley in a residential district is objectionable. The answer to the question, "If not personally interested, would you want it along side your home," Is unanimously and invariable "No." (3) There is already a Business District at 25th and Central and a Local Business District at 32nd and Central, which is ample for the present in accordance with sound zoning principles. (4) In deciding such a matter from a zoning standpoint, the merits of a bowling alley as such, 130 Regular Session, June 2nd, 1947 and the desirability for additional recreational facilities in the gen- eral area are not relevant matters. The effect on property values and the comfort and peace of adjacent owners are the primary considera- tions. Yours truly, The Dubuque Planning & Zoning Commission By Richard V. McKay, Secy Attorney Hal F. Reynolds ad- dressed the Council in support of the petition of B. A. Schueller et al requesting the rezoning of property located at Central Avenue and 30th Street to a Local Business classi- fication for the purpose of con- structing -a modern building for the housing and operation of bowling alleys and submitted for Council consideration petitions signed by approximately 2300 signers. Also Mr. Alonzo Murphy, Secretary of Dubuque Bowling League, and Mr. John Lagen, Commander of the Amvets, addressed the Council in support of the petition of B. A. Schueller et al. Attorney M. H. Czizek addressed the Council stating that he repre- sented the ladjacent property own- ers who are opposed to the grant- ing of the petition of B. A. Schuel- ler et al for the rezoning of prop- erty located at Central Avenue and 30th Street for the housing and operation of bowling alleys. Councilman Thompson moved that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission be approved, this motion was de- clared lost on account of not receiv- ing a second. Councilman Moffatt moved that the matter of rezoning the property located at Central Avenue and 30th Street as requested in the petition of R. A. Schueller et al, together %N-ith the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, he referred to the Council for fur- ther consideration. Seconded by Councilman Van Duelman.

Buckley in exchange for what was described in said Ordinance as "Lot 2 of Lot 9 of Oxford Heights," as shown by a plat of the subdivision of said Lot 9; and Whereas, the Lot 9 referred to in said Ordinance and shown upon said plat, is not located in Oxford Heights but, instead, is located in Yale Court, an addition in the City .of Dubuque and, as a conse- quence, said plat is incorrect and does not properly show the Lot 2 of Regular Session, June 211d, 1947 1.31 Lot 9 intended to be conveyed to the City of Dubuque for street pur- poses; and Whereas, subsequent to the adop- tion of said vacation Ordinance, the City of Dubuque took posses- sion of Lot 2 of Lot 9 in Yale Court and has used and occupied it ever since said time, for street purposes, and said Helen T. Buck- ley took possession of the vacated portion of Oxford Street .and sub- sequently conveyed the same to James Alderson; and Whereas, said James Alderson has now platted said area into Lots 1 and 2 of Lot 20A of Oxford Heights, which plat is filed for rec- ord and recorded in Book of Plats 16, on Page 31 of Dubuque County Records; and Whereas, said Helen T. Buckley has prepared and filed for record a corrected plat of the subdivision of said Lot 9 in Yale Court, which plat is recorded in Book 16, on Page 67 of Dubuque County Records, de- scribing therein the portion of said Lot 9 to be conveyed to the City of Dubuque as Lot 2 of Lot 9 of Yale Court; and Whereas, the City of Dubuque and said Helen T. Buckley did not heretofore exchange deeds as pro- posed by said Ordinance; and Whereas, James Alderson is now the owner of said vacated portion of Oxford Street; and Whereas, to secure the City of Dubuque in its title to said Lot 2 of Lot 9 in Yale Court, said Helen T. Buckley, a widow and unmarried, has executed a Quit Claim Deed thereof to the City of Dubuque and has submitted said deed to this Council for acceptance; and Whereas, to secure said James Alderson in his title to the vacated Portion of Oxford Street, it is deem- ed advisable by this Council to con- vey, by Quit Claim Deed, Lots 1 and 2 of Lot 20A of Oxford Heights to said James Alderson: Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City Coun- cil of the City of Dubuque, as fol- lows: Section 1. That the Quit Claim Deed of Helen T. Buckley convey- ing to the City of Dubuque, Lot 2 of Lot 9 of Yale Court be, and the same is hereby accepted. Section 2.

May 22, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the attached Petition of Mr. B. A. Schueller et al requesting rezoning of his property at Central Ave. and 30th St. to Local Business classifi- cation, the Planning and Zoning Commisison respectfully recom- mends denial of the petition, for the following reasons: Q42 Special session, June 20th, 1947 ,0) The request involves the rezoning of a single piece of property which is illegal. (2) Undoubtedly the locating and operating of a bowling alley in a residential district is objectionable. The answer to the question, "If not person- ally interested, would you want it along side your home," is unanimously and invariable "No!" (3) There is already a Business District at 28th and Central and a Local Business District at 32nd and Central, which is ample for the present in ac. cordance with sound zoning principles. (4) In deciding such a matter from a zoning standpoint, the merits of a bowling alley as such, and the desirability for additional recreational facili- ties in the general area are not relevant matters. The ef- fect on property values and the comfort and peace of ad- jacent owners are the pri- mary considerations. Yours truly, The Dubuque Planning & Zoning Commission By Richard V.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Civil Aeronautics Administration June 27, 1947 215 Jewett Building 9th and Grand Avenue Des Moines 9, Iowa Honorable The Mayor Dubuque, Iowa My Dear Mayor Subject: Dubuque Municipal Air- port Final Approval The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944, approved December 20, 1944, requires that the Public Roads Ad. ministration concur in the selec. tion of airport sites. Their concur- rence is desired particularly where roads will have to be relocated or where the location of the site might affect the local highway System. A policy has been adopted to secure concurrence in all airport locations. The Dubuque Municipal Airport loca!ion has been approved by the 1'11bl',c Roads Administration, the lowa Highway Commission, the State Aeronautics Commission, and thi, administration. A copy of this approval report is being submitted for your files. Very truly yours, PAUL V. ROBERTS 11-�ti iet Airport Engineer, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Bureau of Public Roads Division 5 South State, Iowa Project No. Dubuque County Report on Dubuque, Iowa Municipal Airport Inspection made by W. G. White. Date Inspection made May 6, 1947. In company with R. G. Boyd, Asst Engineer, Iowa State High- way Commission. Location: The airport site is lo. cated in parts of Secs. 26, 27 and 34, T88N, R2E. It is also located between US Highways 61 and 151 with a portion of the easterly boundary adjacent to US Highway 61. The westerly boundary is ap- proximately 0.4 miles from US Highway 151. Access Route Description: The main access route follows US 61 from Dubuque to the proposed en- trance on this route. An auxiliary route extends from the junction of US Highways 61 and 151 approxi- mately 2 miles south of Dubuque and follows US 151 to a point north- west of the airport site, thence fol- lows a county road to the westerly boundary -of the airport site. The starting point for the main route was taken at the intersection of Locust and West Seventh St. in Dubuque, continues south on West Seventh St. to a point near the probable entrance on the easterly boundary of the airport site near the center of Sec. 26, T88N, R2E. Within the city limits the streets are paved to a width of 50 feet at the starting point and through suc- cessive width changes it is 18 ft. at the south city limits. From the city limits to the proposed airport entrance US Highway 61 is paved with concrete 18 ft. in width with 6 ft. shoulders. The length of the route 7.75 miles, of which 2.3 miles are within the city and 5.45 miles on the rural portion. The auxiliary route on US Highway 151 extends from the junction with US High- way 61 in a southwesterly direction for 3.50 miles, thence by a county local road for 0.440 mile to the west- erly boundary of this airport. The length of the auxiliary route from Special Session, June 30th, 1947 lil the junction with US 61 is 3.90 miles, of which 3.50 miles are on US Highway 151 and 0.40 mile on county road. U. S. Highway 151 has an 18 ft. concrete pavement with 6 ft. shoulders and the county road is graded to a 26 ft. width with 20 ft. crushed rock surfacing. Governmental Units Having Author- ity Over Access Roads: City streets—City of Dubuque US Hwys 61 & 151 outside city— Iowa State Highway Commission County Local roads — Dubuque County Municipal Center Involved: Du- buque with a population of 43,892 is the sponsor and the only munici- pality involved. Traffic: The annual average daily traffic on US Highway 61 is 1200 vehicles from the airport entrance to its junction with US Highway 151 from which point it increases to approximately 2900 vehicles at the south city limits. The traffic on US Highway 151 is approximate- ly 1200 vehicles, and on the county local under 50 vehicles per day. No available traffic data are avail- able within the city, but the volume materially increases as the route approaches the business section. Nature of Access Road Changes to Precede Site Development: None. Changes Recommended in Exist- ing Road or Street: None at this time. Ultimately it may be advis- able to day -light the backslopes of the cut on US Highway 61 to pro- vide better sight distance at the airport entrance. Also at some fu- ture time it may be advisable to regrade the county road from US Highway 151 to a probable entrance on the westerly side of the airport site. Plans for Additional Access facil- ities: The topography near the air- port site is quite hilly and it is prob- able that ultimately access roads within the airport site will need to be constructed to afford access to the administration building from both the east and the west. How- ever, it is believed that such access facilities should be constructed as a part of the sponsor's obligation. Cost Estimate: None. Remarks & Recommendations: The sight distance to the tempor- ary entrance on US Highway 61 is approximately 400 ft. in both direc- tions. By day -lighting the inside of horizontal curvature on US Highway 61 in both directions from the entrance, it is believed that the sight distance could be in- creased 200 to 300 ft. By moving the entrance south of the present temporary entrance improved sight distance might be obtained by be- ing near the crest of the hill. The sight distance at the junction with the county road and US Highway 151 is approximately 800 ft, in both directions. The location and construction of the proposed airport is deemed to be in the public interest and con- currence in the selection of the site shown on the attached loca- tion sketch is recommended.

July 18, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager of the City of Dubuque, Iowa: Gentlemen: The City of Dubuque and the City Water Department during the 1920',s and early 1930's succeeded in purchasing all the property east of the Chicago, Mil- waukee, St. Paul & Pacific railroad tracks to the Mississippi River from Hawthorne to Sumner Streets for the expansion of the water works plant in future years. About 1935 the Dock Board pur- chased an electric driven dredging boat and were very anxious to op- erate same. As they were only al- lowed to fill city owned property and as this was the only spot avail. able to be filled at the time, they agreed to sand fill the city property east of the pumping station to the Present riprap. The City of Dubuque Recreation I)e partment was allowed about this same time to constrilet a swimming Pool at a river elevation of 19 feet on the Water Works property be. cause it was the only available Piece of city ground, according to W.P.A. engineers that was suitable for constructing a swimming' pool. Last year the Navy was leased an additional piece of our property for a N.R.O.T.C. building. This was the only site on the Mississippi River which they would accept. The swimming pool and the Navy building occupy over one-half of the property we had acquired for our expansion. We are now blocked on the north and will have to carry all connecting mains through the swimming pool property if we de- cide to build settling basins east of the plant. Two years ago when we asked the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion to approve the plans and speci- fications for a new building to house the equipment at No. 8 Well, which is located 325 feet in an easterly direction from the pool, they objected to us building a 10 foot x 16 foot fire proof brick build- ing which they considered unsight- ly. We cooperated and installed a submersible pumping unit which only required us to build a concrete pit. Within the past month, the Dock Commission has allowed Mr. M. P. Gauer, 1802 Lincoln Ave., to build a refreshment stand without a per- mit from the Building Inspector on 146 lineal feet of riprap. The build- ing is 16 foot x 26 foot and carries a rental fee of only $3.12 per year. This lease also allows Mr. Gauer to construct a gasoline tank and platform which is north of the re- freshment stand for a $1.42 yearly rental. This definitely creates a fire menace and should not be allowed to be built under any consideration. It is on City property which is nor- mally maintained by the Water De- partment and is within ten feet of the 12" waste sewer which has al- ready been constructed to discharge the lime sledge from the new pro- posed softening plant into, the Mississippi River. The Board of Dock Commission- ers also have agreed to lease the balance of the Eagle Point river front footage to Mr. Gauer, from the Atkinson property to the upper high bridge, excepting opposite the private property. The minimum rental to be 509x' of each minimum rental charge. The minimum rental charge is to be 50c per lin. foot for width of property occupied by VAN Special Session, July 21st, 1947 185 each float or boat, and the mini- mum rental for business or commer- cial use to be higher. Permission is not granted to Mr. Gauer to lease any shore area to others. This also includes boat and float space along the City property in Lake Peosta. Also exempted ,is the space to be used by the Naval Reserve unit. The provisions of this lease which became effective July 15th, 1947, is for one year with option to renew each year provided the terms of the lease are fully met by Mr. Gauer. This lease gives Mr. Gauer the right to lease property where four of the City of Dubuque sewers enter the Mississippi River, namely, the above mentioned waste water line from our plant, a sanitary sewer from the swimming pool, the wash water line from the swim- ming pool and the Hawthorne Street storm water sewer. The Dubuque Water Company built on the shores of the Missis- sippi River in about 1887 and 1888 and have occupied this location since that time for the past Go years and have also had access to the river at all times. In my per- sonal opinion it seems to me there should have been some provision giving the City of Dubuque and the City Water Department certain rights along the river front which they border. I am in favor of hav- ing boating and boat docks to take riders on the beautiful Mississippi but I see no reason why the Dock Board can lease ground to build a small wooden building and plat- forms on the shores of the Missis- sippi when we were requested not to construct a brick fireproof build- ing within 50 feet of the same lo- cation. I would like to be advised by the Mayor, City Council and City Man- ager, just what rights and privi- leges we have at the Eagle Point water front. We propose to curb and park this area east of the swimming pool as soon as we can obtain the necessary labor which will be when we catch up on our water main extensions and improve. ments. We parked the swimming Pool with Water Works Funds and if it had not been for the war, we would have completed this improve- ment. In closing I want to go on record as objecting to the infringement made on Water Works property at Eagle Point. I hope that your Hon- orable Body will take under advise- ment the necessity for retaining this property and allow our depart- ment to lease the Eagle Point water front adjacent to our property at 50c per lineal foot per year. It is not our intention to disallow boat landings or docks at this location but we do disapprove of the build- ing or construction of frame build- ings and gasoline tanks on our Property.

July 24, 1947 lim:.ralae MV Ryor and Members of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa (Geutlemen: In ieference to the elaim of (1rs. Aunis Shaw for $2,000 submitted to me for r,vestigation Ind report. From my investigation t appears that on March 16, 1947, tbout 2:15 P. M. claimant while valking on the unmarked crosswalk )etween the Northwest and South. vest corners of the intersection of Arlington and Highland Streets stepped upon a rough, uneven lay. -r of cinders upon the crosswalk, Causing her to fall and receive ser. ious injuries to her left leg. One of the cinders became imbedded near the knee and was removed by the doctor. That she incurred medical, nursing and surgical expenses and other expenses including loss of time from her work. That total amount of her actual damages is somewhat over $600.00. From all of the circumstances, the placing of the cinders on the street and the size thereof, I am of the opinion that the place where she fell was unsafe and dangerous and that there is a liability upon the part of the City. After consulta- tion with her Attorneys, they have agreed to accept $550.00 in frill pay- ment of her claim. I recommend that her claim be allowed in the sum of $550.00 and that a warrant be issued payable to Kenline, Roedell, Hoffmann & Reynolds, Attorneys for Mrs. Annts Shaw and delivered upon delivery to the City of a release properly executed by the claimant. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER Councilman Wharton moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $550.00 In favor of Kenline, Roedell, Hoff- mann & Reynolds, Attorneys for Mrs. Annis Shaw, as settlement in full of her claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a prop- erly executed release.

August 19, 1947 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: With reference to the communication of Henry J. Cun- ningham which was filed with the City Council and referred to me for invesigation and report, I wish to report as follows: Section 418.1, 1946 Code of Iowa, Provides that the compensation of the Manager shall be by Ordinance but this Chapter is entitled "CITY MANAGER PLAN BY ORDIN- ANCE," and does not apply to the City of Dubuque, which is under the City Manager Plan by popular election. Chapter 419 "CITY MANAGER PLAN BY POPULAR ELECTION" Section 419.60 provides that the salary of the Manager shall be fix- ed by the Council. Under this Sec- tion the Council may fix the salary of the Manager by motion, resolu- tion or ordinance as it desires. Section 419.55, Sub 12, provides that the Manager shall manage all municipal water plants. The money received by the water works is paid into the City Treasury. Section 419.60 provides that the salary of the Manager * * * * shall be paid monthly from the Treasury of the City. The salary of the man- ager is paid from the Treasury of the City. It is provided in: "24.14 tax limited. No greater tax than that so entered upon the record shall be levied or collected for the municipality proposing such tax for the Pur- pose or purposes indicated; and thereafter no greater ex- penditure of public money shall be made for any specific pur- pose than the amount esti- mated and appropriated there for, except as provided in sec- tions 24.6, 24.15 and subsection 4 of section 343.11." The Attorney General has ruled on the question of an increase of salary during a fiscal year and has stated in an opinion dated August 14 as follows: "I am of the opinion that Sec- tion 24.14, Code of 1946 quoted by the City Solicitor is Control- ling. However, if the budget of July, 1946, aggregated the ad- ministration expenses in a lump suul; i.e., if it did not specify the salary of the City manager in a specified amount, 241ti;perial Session, _\u ;ust Lith, 1947 then his salary could be in- creased and paid out of the lump sum appropriated within the limits thereof. But if the budget specified the manager's salary in a specific amount, it could not be increased during the year of its operation unless the Comptroller would permit an amendment of the budget to include this increase." After consultation with the State Comptroller, I submit for your consideration an Ordinance which has been prepared in 'accordance with the Comptroller's suggestions. Yours truly, JOHN J.

Gentlemen: On August 30, 1947, we the undersigned, representa- tives of the various city depart- ments, conducted an inspection of the following buildings. A two story frame shed directly to the rear of 534 Rhomberg Aven- ue and located on Lots 23 and 24 of High Street Sub, and owned by Antoinette M. Scharle. This shed is in a very dilapidated condition due to lack of maintenance and re- pair and is being supported only because it leans against a frame 2;;; Aili()t11_11Cd Regular Session, September 2nd, 1947 house right adjacent. It is a def- inite fire hazard to the adjoining property as it is connected to the porch of a three story brick apart- ment house and if it should catch fire, the people occupying this building would be immediately en- dangered. A two story building at 1334 Cen- tral Ave. located on the N. 14% feet of the South 2 -ii of City Lot 444 and owned by Rose Hoefflin et al and Lena Kleih.

September 2, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The Sisters of St. Francis have begun the construc- tion. of Xavier Hospital on the northerly side of Davis Street just outside the city limits. The archi- tects for the Sisters. Schmidt, Gar- den and Erikson of Chicago, are anxious to connect with the city sanitary sewer system. A search of the records describes that on September 27, 1926 an or. dinance was adopted granting the Sisters 'of St. Francis Convent the right to construct and maintain a sanitary sewer in Windsor Avenue from the intersection of La*wther Street and Windsor Avenue north. erly to the city limits at Davis Street. However, this was never done since there is at present no sanitary sewer in Windsow Avenue over this route. Instead an eight inch sanitary sewer connected the Sister's property to a manhole im- mediately south of Davis Street in the alley first west of Windsor Avenue. I recommend that the City Coun- cil grant the Sisters -of Saint Fran- cis the right to connect the new hospital with the city sanitary sew- er svAem with the provision that should the system be thus over- loaded that they be required to construct a separate sewer to handle the sewage. Respectfully submitted, A. A.

September 2, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: At the meeting of the City Council held August 25, 1947 I was directed to make a report on the operation of the old island air- port. As you no doubt know H. W. McAndrews operates the Cedar Fly. ing Service at this location. There is no formal lease covering the premises. The situation that pre- vailed during the V-5 Naval Avia. tion Training has been carried on without a formal arrangement. It consists of the payment to the city of twenty-five cents per hour for 262 adjourned Regular Scssion, September 2nd, 1947 each hour of training time by the operator. It would appear to be in the best Interest of the city and of aviation in this community to 'permit other operators to engage in business off the field and to terminate the present arrangement which virtual- ly gives to the Cedar Flying Ser- vice a monopoly. Respectfully submitted, A. A. RHOMBERG, City Manager.

Cordially yours, J. A. KERPER, Secretary RESOLUTION Whereas, steadily increasing au- tomobile traffic is creating a car parking problem for which reme- dies must be provided if our city Is to progress and attract patrons for our business establishments and other visitors, Whereas, while it is recognized that in order to control traffic and to avoid indiscriminate parking of cars for long periods the installa- tion of parking meters has become necessary, but it is obvious to everyone that meters alone are only a Partial solution and unless sup- plemented by the establishment of pui,lic parking areas and/or mul- tiple story public garages, the use of •parking meters will result in creating antagonism and ill will towards the city on the part of not only visitors but our own residents as well. Whereas, the Master City Plan adopted some years ago, in the preparation of which a thorough stimy of this problem was made, provides for one such parking area in connection with the widening and improvement of Robinson Street from Bluff to University and designates the area between Robinson Street and W. 8th Avenue from the Telegraph -Herald Build- ing west to University as a Parking Lot site. Resolved, that the City Admin- istration be urged to carry out the plan as adopted and in addition cause a survey to be made of areas East of Iowa Street as a possible site for a similar project, and that steps be inaugurated promptly to acquire such property or Properties in the interest of safety, convenience and general wel- fare of this community.

Fautsch and others re. questing that the tennis courts in Grandview Park be repaired and maintained was referred to the City Manager to confer with the Park Board. I wish to report that I have dis- cussed this matter with the Park Board and visited the site with the members of the Board. The Park Board members are fully aware of the great need for tennis courts in the south end of the city. It was found that the first requirement is an extensive drainage system to provide a proper base for any type of tennis courts in this location. The Park Board does not have suf- ficient funds at this time to proceed with this project. It is, however, the hope of the Park Board that iu the future they will be able to in- stall the necessary drainage sys- tem and that perhaps some ways and means will be devised to ob. tain the necessary funds to pave the courts after the drainage is in- stalled.

This reserve engine is in very poor shape and can not be expected to do any sustained work. It is therefore necessary that we take steps to supplement our pumping capacity. I recommend that the Council so- licit bids for the purchase of a new fire pumper. Respectfully submitted, A. A.

Present were the City Council, the Board of Directors of the Du. buque Chamber of Commerce and its Housing Committee, together with the Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Parking Committee and other interested citizens.

Rhomberg, City Manager, City Hall Dubuque, Iowa Re: Ordinance for I. C. Track to serve property of Marmis & Solo- mon. Dear Mr Rhomberg: In order that the City Council may have further information with reference to the use proposed to be made of the property to be served by this proposed railroad track, we submit the following information on behalf of our client Marmis & Solomon. This property will be fenced in but will be without any roof. It is the plan of Marmis & Solomon to use this property for the storage of structural steel. It is not planned to use this property for junk yard purposes but to be used exclusive- ly for the storage and handling of structural steel. In the future it is very likely that a warehouse build- ing will be constructed on this prop- erty. However, no definite time has been set for the doing of this work. It is the plan of Marmis & Solo- mon to locate the metal bdling plant on property owned by them south of the location to be served by the new track and will be used in connection with the present junk business now being conducted by Marmis & Soloman. As you know, this area is zoned as an industrial district and the use of the property to be served by the track for structural steel pur- poses will not be in violation of the zoning ordinance. We trust this information will be helpful to the Council in reaching 0 290 Regular Session, October 6th, 1947 a, favorable conclusion with refer- ence to the proposed Illinois Cen- tral spur track.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council. Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: With reference to claims of Anna Smith submitted to me for investigation and report, I find that said Anna Smith claims $5,000.00 for damages because of a serious and severe fracture of the forearm in the vicinity of the wrist, when she slipped and fell as a re- sult of an accumulation of ice lo. cated on the sidewalk on the east. erly side of Kniest Street, near the northeast corner of Kniest Street and Rhomberg Avenue, at a point on said sidewalk where a mail box is situated. She was compelled to undergo hospital and medical at- tention and is still suffering from the injury, an examination having Regular Session, November 3rd, 1947 311 recently been made by a doctor for the insurance company. The mail box is erected on the sidewalk on the east side. On the westerly aide of the building of Leik's Drug Store, which is located on said cor- ner, a stairway leads to the second floor of said building and extends over the sidewalk, and water drip- ping from the stairway caused an accumulation of ice to form at the base of the mail box. I was of the opinion that the owner of the building should also be made a party to this matter and so notified him. Thereafter, in con- junction with the Attorneys for his insurance company, we conferred with the Attorney for the claimant. Claimant has agreed to settle this claim for $2,000.00. 'rhe insurance company has agreed to pay $1,000.00 and I recommend that the City pay the other 01,000.00 and that a warrant be issued payable to Czizek & Czizek, Attorneys for Anna Smith, for $1,000.00 upon de- livery to the City of a. release pro- perly executed by her. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Wharton moved that the recommendation of City SOlic- itor K,intzinger be approved and the City, Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $1,000.00 in favor of Czizek & Czizek, At- torneys, Attorneys for Anna Smith, as settlement in full of the City's share of said claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a prop- erly executed release.

Kintzinger City Attorney Dubuque, Iowa Dear Mr. Kintzinger: I have your inquiry of the De- cember 22nd respecting the ex- perience of our City with the Stauffer Chemical Company. Our experience has not been a fortu- nate one. They have been in busi- ness here for a good many years, at least fifteen and perhaps longer, and during my term in office here, and I have now completed my thir- teenth year, we have had constant trouble, in this: From time to time, and some- times from meeting to meeting, our Board of Pubulic Works and Safety have had delegations of citizenry from the immediate neighborhood complaining that the precipitation from this plant was killing all their vegetation and that it was injurious to their health generally. We went "round and round" with the Stauf- fer people who are a very high class outfit. We had numerous dis- cussions with engineers and scien- tists from New York, employed by them, in an endeavor to eliminate or at least ameliorate, this evil. To a very considerable extent they have been successful and we had fewer complaints from the resi- dents of the neighborhood of the Plant in the last year than any time during the last ten or twelve Years. This improvement in conditions was accomplished by the 1115talla- tf01) of machinery and equ.:pment with which f am not familiar, which tended to eliminate much of the 01)n07ious precipitation, We had one further very serious difficult.} with them, which you do not mention in your letter, but which I feel should be drawn to your attention if you should have a sewage disposal system such as ours. We have an activated sludge plant, which you probably know is a bacterial process, and in which our City has invested Four Million Dollars. From time to time we had trouble with this plant and the bacteria would be killed in the ac- tivated slude beds with some acid getting into our sewage system. After some difficulty our engineer found that the trouble was sul- phuric acid which was traced to the Stauffer Chemical Company's plant. We futher found that the sewer leading from than plant, which is of concrete construction, has been very seriously damaged ,and negotions are now pending with the Stauffer Company in an iendeavor to recover the damages suffered by the City both as to the sewer and the machinery and equipment in our activated sludge plant. They claim that this trouble has now been eliminated and that no further acid can now get into our sewage system. Please understand that I have no interest in the Stauffer Chemical Company nor any animosity toward them what- ever. Their officers have been fair and while we threatened to sue to abate a nuisance and also to re- cover damages, that has not been necessary and we do not anticipate that it will be. I hope the foregoing will give You some idea of the troubles con- nected with the operation of a sulphuric acid plant. As you are, of course, aware, Hammond is a highly industrialized City with di- verse manufacturing processes in- cluding soap, corn products, and other manufacturing processes in which fats and acids are used, so that we are not without experience in that field. I am hopeful that this informa- tion will be helpful to you and in the event that we can be of fur- ther assistance please command us. Yours very truly, Harry H. Stilley. Regular Session, January 5th, 1948 December 31, 1947 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: Referring to attached petition of Caroline M. May requesting va- cation of alley between Lot 1 of 35 of Stewarts Sub to the west, and Lot 2 of the Sub of Lots 24, 25, and Lots 26 and 27 of Stewarts Sub to the east and extending from York St. northerly to the south boundary of Lot 24 of Mineral Lot 149, the Planning and Zoning Com- mission respectfully recommends granting of the petition, the value of the vacated land and price to be determined by your honorable body.

Driscoll for damages in the amount of $25.94 received on or about January 16, 1.948, while backing out of the al- ley entrance located on 6th Street on the north side between Main and Locust, it appears that he backed into an open manhole.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: With reference to the claim of Mrs. Paul Cate for $13.75 on account of damages done to her automobile on or about No- vember 28, 1947, upon investigation I find that a trench was dug for a water main in front of her home at Coates Street and upon filling the trench there was a large ac- cumulation of dirt left in the street in front of her driveway at 2340 Coates Street. That complaint was made with reference to the same to the City and before any- thing was done to cure the situa- tion damages herein complained of were sustained. I am of the opin- ion that the City was negligent in failing to place this street in this location in a reasonably safe con- dition, after the digging and filling of the trench and therefore, there is a liability. I recommend that her claim be allowed in the amount of $13.75 and that a warrant be issued pay- able to her for $13,75 and delivered to her upon delivery to the City of a release. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor Councilman Wharton moved that the recommendation of City So- licitor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $13.75 In favor of Mrs. Paul Cate, as set- tlement in full of her claim, and that said warrant be delivered up- on receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release.

I am of the opinion that the street was in a dangerous condi- tion and that there is a liability. I recommend that this claim be allowed by paying the actual dam- ages in the amount of $92.75 and that a warrant be issued payable to said William Schaefer III for said amount and delivered to him upon delivery to the City of a re- lease properly executed. It appears that the trench or hole complained of was caused by the Contractor building a sewer on Kaufmann Avenue. This job has not been completed and I rec- ommend that the amount of this claim be withheld from the bal- ance due the contractor. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Moffatt moved that the recommendation of City Solici- tor Kintzinger be approved and the City Auditor be instructed to draw a warrant in the amount of $92.75 in favor of William Schaefer III, as settlement in full of his claim, and that said warrant be delivered upon receipt by the City of Dubuque of a properly executed release, and that the amount of this claim be withheld from the balance due the Contractor, name- IY, Mancini, Ventrella & Sons. Sec- onded by Councilman Wharton. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council- men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel - man, Wharton. Nays—None. January 30, 1948. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: .In reference to the claim of Covell J. Hart for dam- ages in the sum of $130.92, the cost to his automobile, from my investigation it appears that on the date in question he was travel- ing to town on University Avenue and when he turned to the right at Delhi Street his car came upon ice where it skidded and crashed into a tree. He states this ac- cident happened about 1:30 in the Regular Session, February 2nd, 1948 19 day time, that his car was travel. ing about 16 miles per hour. I am of the opinion that the street was in a reasonably safe condition for vehicular traffic and that there is no liability on the City of Dubuque. I recommend that this claim be denied. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER, City Solicitor. Councilman Van Duelman moved that the recommendation of City Solicitor Kintzinger be approved. Seconded by Councilman Thomp- son. Carried by the following vote: Yeas—Mayor Murphy, Council- men Moffatt, Thompson, Van Duel - man, Wharton. Nays—None.

Co. office on 24th Street approximately 20 feet east of the Northwest corner of the alley between Washington and Elm Streets; that It is claimed said sidewalk was unsafe and dangerous at the said time in that the earth sloped from the cement walk to the curbing and was slippery and covered with an accumulation of ice which caused him to slip and fall; that said condition existed for some considerable time; that as a result of said fall the said Patch received serious injuries, fractured the knee cap of his left knee which necessitated an open operation to reset and replace the fractured bones; that he was con- fined to the hospital for twenty- two days under the doctor's care and is still suffering from the in- jury; that he sustained actual damages in the amount of at least $1000.00, including doctor and hos- pital bills and loss of time. That I have had several conferences with his Attorneys. They have agreed to accept $500.00 in full payment of this claim. I am of the opinion that the claim should be settled. I therefore, recommend that a warrant be issued payable to Gil. 10011, Nelson & Gilloon, Attorneys for C. W. Patch, in the amount of $500.00 and that the same be de- livered upon delivery to the City Of a release property executed by said C. W. Patch. Yours truly, JOHN J. KINTZINGER City Solicitor.

She further claims she has been laid off from work for seven weeks and will be unable to go to work for about two months more. That she has submitted an item- ized claim for $318.75, which does not include any amount for the injury and pain and suffering. She has agreed to accept $200.00 In full payment for her claim against the city. I recommend the allowance of her claim in the amount of $200.00, and that the same be paid to her upon delivery to the City of a re- lease properly executed by her. Yours truly, JOHN J.

January 12, 1948 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dubuque, Iowa dentlemen: The agreement made some years rgo between the City of Dubuque rnd the Interstate Power Company "rovides that if and when there Adjourned Special Session, February 23rd, 1948 39 were developments on City Island and/or the property in the vincin- ity of the Shot Tower which made the relocation of the now existing power line (known as 'the Clinton. Dyersville Line) necessary, the Dock Commission would secure proper easements for the new lo- cation of the line. When the Virginia - Carolina Chemical Corporation leased the area immediately west and north of the Shot Tower, and made plans for the construction of its new plant, it developed that this high line passed directly over their building and that because the sup- porting towers are too low, cre- ated an undesirable situation, Inasmuch .as the heightening of the towers would involve a com- plete rebuilding of them, it is obvious that the practical course to pursue is the relocating of the right-of-way and erecting new and higher towers at proper locations, thus avoiding the crossing of the harbor, and eliminating the pos- sibility that the high line would interfere with future developments of the City Island. The easement requested for the Interstate Power Company extends from a Steel Tower at Pine and Bell Streets (which tower is to be replaced by a heavier and higher tower) to Interstate property where their coal pile is now lo- cated and is shown by the purple lines on the plat attached to the easement. City owned property over which the easement is requested, is out- lined in red on said plat. The ease- ment provides for a horizontal clearance of 75' on one side and 50' on the opposite side of the cen- ter line of the wires. Upon execution of the atiacned easement and the securing of a new easement from the Rhomberg Realty Company (or its successors) and the Illinois Central Railroad, the way will be clear for the In- terstate to move its line to the new location, if and when it is found necessary. It is understood, of course, that when said line is moved to the new location, the easement the In- terstate Power Company now holds and affecting the property involved, shall be cancelled in proper and legal manner by the City of Du- buque. Respectfully, Board of Dock Commissioners City of Dubuque, Iowa By, J. A. Kerper, President. Councilman Thompson moved that the communication be referred to the Council to view the grounds.

Nielsen, Architect -Engineer, 410 Hubbell Building, Des Moines, Iowa herein- after called the Architect Witnesseth, that Whereas the Owner intends to erect the First Unit of a Terminal -Administration Building at -the Municipal Airport, Dubuque, Iowa Now, Therefore, the Owner and the Architect, for the consideration hereinafter named, agree as fol- lows: The Architect agrees to perform, for the above-named work, profes- sional services as hereinafter set forth. The Owner agrees to pay the Architect for such services a fee of four per cent of -the cost of the work, with other payments and reimbursements as hereinafter pro- vided, the said percentage being hereinafter referred to as the "basic rate." The parties hereto further agree to the following conditions: 1. The Architect's Services.— The Architect's professional servi. ces consist of the necessary con- ferences, the preparation of pre- liminary studies, working draw- ings, specifications, large scale and full size detail drawings; the drafting of forms of proposals and contracts; the issuance of certifi- cates of payment; the keeping of accounts, the general administra- tion of the business and supervi- sion of the work. 2. Reimbursements.—The Owner Is to reimburse the Architect the costs of transportation and living incurred by him and his assistants while traveling in discharge of duties connected with the work, and the cost of the services of heating, ventilating, mechanical and electrical engineers. 3. Separate Contracts.—The basic rate applies to work let under a single contract. For any portions of the work let under separate con- tracts, on account of extra. service thereby required, the rate shall be four per cent greater, and if sub- stantially all the work is so let the higher rate shall apply to the entire work; but there shall be no increase on any contracts in con- nection with which the Owner re- imburses the Engineers' fees to the Architect, or for articles not designed by the Architect but pur. chased under his direction. 4. Extra Services and Special Cases.—If the Architect is caused extra draughting or other expense due to changes ordered by the Owner, or due to the delinquency or insolvency of the Owner or Con- tractor, or as a result of damage by fire, he ,shall be equitably paid for such extra expense and the service involved. Work let on any cost-plus basis shall be .the subject of a special charge in accord with the special service required. If any work designed or specified by the Architect is abandoned or suspended the Archietet is to be paid for the service rendered on account of it. 5. Payments.—Payments to the Architect on account of his fee shall be made as follows, subject to the provisions of Art. 4: Upon completion of the prelimi- nary studies, a sum equal to 20% of the basic rate computed upon a reasonable estimated cost. Upon completion of specifica- tions and general working draw- ings (exclusive of details) a sum sufficient to increase payments on the fee .to 75% of the rate or rates of commission arising from this agreement, computed upon a reasonable cost estimated on such completed specifications and draw- Regular Session, March 1st, 1948 67 ings, or if bids have been received, then computed upon .the lowest bona fide bid or bids. From time to time during the execution of work and in propor- tion to the amount of service ren- dered by the Architect, payments shall be made until the aggregate of all payments made on account of the fee under this Article, but not including any covered by the provisions of Article 4, shall be a sum equal to the rate or rates of commission arising from this agreement, computed upon the final cost of the work. Payments to the Architect, other than those of his fee, fall due from time to time as his work is done or as costs are incurred. No deductions shall be made from the Architect's fee on ac- count of penalty, liquidated dam- ages, or other sums withheld from payments -to contractors. 6. Survey, Borings and Tests.— The Owner shall, so far as the work under this agreement may require, furnish the Architect with the following information: A complete and accurate survey of the building site, giving the grades and lines of streets, pavements, and adjoining properties; the rights, restrictions, easements, boundaries, and contours of the building site, and full information as to sewer, water, gas and electri- cal service. The Owner is to pay for borings or test pits and for chemical, mechanical, or other tests when required. 7. Supervision of the Work. -- The Architect will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the work of contractors, but he does not guar- antee the performance of their contracts. The supervision of an Architect is to be distinguished from the continuous personal super- intendence to be obtained by the employment of a clerk -of -the -works. When authorized by the Owner, a clerk -of -the -works acceptable to both Owner and Architect shall be engaged by the Architect at a sal- ary satisfactory to the Owner and paid by the Owner, upon presenta- tion of the Architect's monthly statements. 8. Preliminary Estimates.—When requested to do so the Architect will furnish preliminary estimates on the cost of the work, but he does not guarantee the accuracy of such estimates. 9. Definition of the cost of the Work.—The cost of the work, as herein referred to, means the cost to the Owner, but such cost shall not include .any architect's or en- gineer's fees or reimbursements or the cost of a clerk -of -the -works. When labor or material is fur- nished by the Owner below its market cost the cost of the work shall be computed upon such mar- ket cost. 10. Ownership of Documents.— Drawings .and specifications as in- struments of service are the prop- erty of the Architect whether the work for which they are made be executed or not. 11. Successors and Assignments. —The Owner and the Architect, each binds himself, his partners, successors, executors, administra- tors, and assigns to the other party to this agreement, and to the part- ners, successors, executors, admin- istrators and assigns of such other party in respect of all covenants of this agreement. Except as above, neither the Owner nor the Architect shall as- sign, sublet or transfer his inter- est in this agreement without the written consent of the other. 12 Arbitration.—All questions in dispute under this agreement shall be submitted to arbitration at the choice of either party. 13. Delete Art. 2. "Reimburse- ments." 14. Delete Paragraphs 4 and 5 under Art. 5. "Payments" and change 75% in the third line of Paragraph 3 to 100%. 15. Change Art. 7 "Supervision of the Work" to read as follows: The Architect will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects and deficiencies in the work of Contractors but does not guarantee the performance of their contracts. When authorized by the Owner, the Architect shall make inspections at the job site. For such work the Owner is to reimburse the Archi- tect the cost of transportation and living incurred by him plus an ad- ditional sum of $25.00 per day. The Owner and the Architect hereby agree to the full perform- 68 Regular Session, March ist, 1948 ante of the covenants contained herein.
