This improvement package is for one additional utility locator unit. Since 2010, the number of utility locate
requests in the City has nearly doubled, growing from approximately 5,500 to 10,500 requests per year.
Earlier this year, the department added a second full-time utility locator. We currently have two utility
locator instruments for the two full-time utility locator staff members, but we have a need for a third backup
unit. This backup unit would be used by other engineering staff who are covering an on-call/after-hours
shift or when the other two units are being repaired or replaced. This relates to City Council Goal - High

This improvement funds the purchase of two laptops for department engineers & technicians to share
which will measurably improve the productivity of department staff that handles data that must be
transferred by USB drives. The recently enacted Information Services policy on eliminating access to
universal serial bus (USB) drives for cyber security reasons has significantly impacted the workflow of
department staff to efficiently access and download data from several important types of field equipment.
Impacted field equipment include, but is not limited to: sanitary sewer flow meters, drone photography,
high-resolution cameras for confined space entry and manhole inspections, survey data collectors, and
infrared thermal cameras. This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance Government.

This improvement funds the purchase of all-weather outerwear for department staff who are required to
work outside at active construction sites and inspect city infrastructure during all types of weather
conditions including extreme cold, snow, rain, and extreme heat. Actively working in these conditions for
extended hours during a day on a regular basis can wear out outerwear in a relatively short time. Some of
the items to be purchased would be winter coats, winter work bibs, work boots, cold weather head gear,
work gloves and rain gear. Many work locations also have federal safety standards which require high
visibility reflective work gear. The reflectivity of required work clothing can often lose its reflectivity during
a single construction season. This budget request provides for $300 per year, per employee (18), that
work all or most of the work year in the field, to purchase or replace worn out outerwear as needed and as
approved by their supervisor. This requests also provides for $200 per year, per employee (12), that work
periodically in the field, but not on a full-time basis, to purchase or replace worn out outerwear as needed
and as approved by their supervisor. This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance Government.

This improvement provides for the funding of a Youth AmeriCorps Program intern (+0.32 FTE) to
administer the Engineering Department's planned classroom and summer job training program for high
school students, along with the classroom and job shadowing program for junior high students related to
working for the City's Engineering Department for those who would consider the architecture/engineering/
construction field as a career choice. This unique, hands-on learning and mentoring program allows
students to see first-hand the skills, technology, and people that are working to ensure the public has
access to safe public infrastructure including streets, buildings, stormwater and sanitary utilities, along with
how sustainable and resilient infrastructure helps to protect our environment and those living in our
community.
The Youth AmeriCorps position will also provide direct mentoring to the kids participating in the program
with a portion of the program targeted to working with disadvantaged youths. The concept for this program
has been developed in conjunction with city staff from the Human Rights, Public Works, Water Resource
-93-
Recovery Center, Water, Multicultural Family Center, and Leisure Services Departments, along with the
Dubuque Community Schools District, National Mississippi River Museum, and Dubuque Area Labor
Management Council. The goal is to develop content for the Engineering Department to serve as a phase
1 pilot and then expand the program to other city infrastructure-based departments. The content for the
program will be modeled off of the "Work in Water Experience" developed by Wichita State University
through the EPA's Environmental Finance Center at the school.
Not only will this program provide students with new and eye-opening possibilities for career choices, it will
also teach them about future work opportunities related to their interest specifically at the City of Dubuque
by promoting the Municipal Career Pathways employment pipeline. This multi-department program directly
supports the City's vision for improved equity and inclusion and strategies for poverty reduction. This
position was approved for one-time funding in FY22, and all those involved desired this position to
continue for another year. This request supports the City Council goal of Partnership for a Better Dubuque:
Building our Community that is Viable, Livable, and Equitable.

This improvement request is for the addition of a 12-month engineering intern position (+0.32 FTE). Over
the past four years, the Engineering and Legal Departments have made significant updates to the City’s
construction
contract specifications that are used by all city departments for capital improvement projects. During the
review process, it was determined that a more comprehensive update to the City’s current policies and
standards related to OSHA compliance and protection of the public during construction projects is needed.
This improvement will allow the Engineering Department to update and customize our current Department
Construction Safety Manual.
The needed updates will address new changes in OSHA regulations, such as permit-required confined
space entry and silica (concrete) dust exposure. Five years ago, the department was able to complete an
approximate 70% update to the manual, but due to ongoing high workloads, some important updates have
not been able to be completed. With an intern solely dedicated to this work, we will be able to complete
the needed manual updates and subsequently train city staff on safe construction site work practices.
This request supports the City Council goals of Financially Responsible, High Performance City
Organization: Sustainable, Equitable Service Delivery.

This improvement funds an intern position (+0.32 FTE) to assist full-time department staff with sorting
through volumes of department records that date back to being over 140 years old. These records have
irreplaceable historical value, and in some cases, significant engineering, legal, or monetary values related
to past signed agreements, railroad ROW, utility easements, boundary surveys, and completed
construction project engineering plans and records. There is no current system of filing for these
randomly-boxed records, and existing staff have no way of knowing what information we already have.
After collaboration with the Carnegie Stout Public Library staff, it is recommended that a Master's level
librarian student be hired to coordinate the scanning and archiving of all records so that they can be easily
searched for and found by future city staff. This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance

This improvement provides funding to supplement the landscape maintenance work that the Leisure
Services Department provides for buildings that are managed by the Facilities Maintenance Team (FMT).
The FMT maintains several buildings that are iconic, architecturally significant structures that provide a
sense of civic pride. Those buildings include City Hall, the Historic Federal Building, and the Old Engine
House. Due to limited resources, the FMT and Leisure Services do not always have staff available to
maintain the outdoor landscape at these locations in a way that maintains the esprit de corps of all city
residents and city employees. These funds will provide financial resources to outsource ground
maintenance on an as-needed basis to the exterior grounds of these buildings to maintain a high standard.
This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance Government.

This improvement funds the purchase of a wet mop floor scrubber for City Hall. This clean equipment
cleans up to 70% faster than conventional wet mopping. This wet mop has the ability to get right to the
edge and under obstacles, which means it eliminates many manual operations that are required to
supplement conventional mopping. For a building such as City Hall that is mostly hard surface flooring,
this unit measurably improves the productivity of the custodial staff. This relates to City Council Goal -

This improvement request is for metal detectors that are used on a regular basis by sixteen department
staff members. In the past the department has ordered this equipment on an as-needed basis and has
never formalized a replacement schedule. The metal detectors are used daily by our survey crew, GIS
technicians, and utility locator staff. Metal detectors are used regularly by our I and I staff, traffic staff, and
engineering technician and inspection staff. This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance

This improvement funds exterior window cleaning for buildings managed by the Facility Management
Team (FMT). FMT custodians don't possess the proper equipment to be in compliance with OSHA
standards while cleaning exterior & interior that are above 15'-20' off of the ground or floor. These funds
would be utilized to outsource window cleaning to qualified vendors to clean locations on an as needed
basis among all managed buildings. This relates to City Council Goal - High Performance Government

FY 2024.
2.Inspection Reimbursement is increased from $36,000 in FY 2023 to $66,000 in FY 2024. This line item
represents the refund to developers for subdivision inspection fees paid that were more than actual
cost. There is offsetting revenue of $219,077 in the Subdivision Inspection Fee revenue line item.
3.Pay to Other Agency increased from $147,500 in FY 2023 to $153,416 in FY 2024. This line item
represents the contract with East Central Iowa Association for transportation planning ($30,650) which
increased $0 from FY 2023. The $5,916 increase is from the Catfish Creek Watershed Partnership
payment ($122,766) as part of the 28E agreement with Dubuque County and the Dubuque Soil &
Water Conservation District for the Dubuque County Watershed Program.
4.Grant expense is increased from $461,505 in FY 2023 to $493,843 in FY 2024. The increase is due to
the stormwater enterprise fund utility fee subsidies for low income households ($65,037), residential
farms ($11,891), and property tax-exempt properties ($391,915), which are based on FY 2022 Actuals
increased by 1.69% in FY 2023 and 5% in FY 2024. While the numbers fluctuate during the year,
approximately 115 customers receive the property tax-exempt subsidy, of which the top ten include
schools, universities, and hospitals, and also account for over 70% of the property tax-exempt subsidy
paid. Approximately 20 customers receive the residential farm subsidy, and approximately 475
customers receive the low-income subsidy. The grant expense also includes $10,000 for private
sanitary sewer lateral replacement assistance, $5,000 for streambank stabilization assistance, and
$5,000 for rain garden/rain barrel assistance. Finally, the grant expense budget includes $5,000 for
snow removal assistance, which is used to assist low/moderate income citizens with physical
limitations. This also helps fund the administration of volunteers to help with snow removal and
associated shovel and salt supplies.
5.Sales Tax is increased from $185,472 in FY 2023 to $194,745 in FY 2024. This expense is directly
offset by sales tax revenue.
6.Electricity increased from $249,598 in FY 2023 to $261,151 in FY 2024. The increase is due to a
combination of higher electricity rates charged at all properties ($6,988) and the City’s purchase of the

23.Stormwater Penalties decreased from $28,845 in FY 2023 to $22,043 in FY 2024 based on FY 2022
actual of $17,197.
24.The FY 2024 Stormwater User Fee increased from $9.00 per SFU to $10.00 per SFU, a 11.11%
increase. There was no increase between FY 2022 and FY 2023 as part of the City's coronavirus relief
response.
When the City Council adopted Ordinance 21-12 (passed and approved on March 7, 2012), they
established that the stormwater utility fee would increase to $9.00 per month on July 1, 2016 in order
to fund the operational and capital costs of the public stormwater management system, including
improvements such as the Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project. But later in 2012, the Iowa General
Assembly created the Flood Mitigation Program which provides funding for flood mitigation projects
undertaken by approved local governments such as the City of Dubuque. Managed by the Iowa Flood
Mitigation Board, the funding source established involves taking a portion of the incremental growth of
State sales tax revenue collected within a city and diverting from the State General Fund to the
approved city. Having updated the Drainage Basin Master Plan in the fall of 2013, which outlined the
improvements associated with the 12-phase Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project, the City
was successful in securing $98.5 million in State sales tax increment funding. With the infusion of
funding, the City Council adopted Ordinance 16-14 (passed and approved on March 5, 2014)
establishing that the stormwater utility fee did not reach $9.00 per month until July 1, 2021, five years
later than later than previously scheduled.
The City has been able to provide stormwater management services within the rate structure
established by Ordinance 16-14. However, due to the uncertain economic impacts of the current
COVID-19 pandemic, the rate structure was reconsidered for Fiscal Year 2021. With some minor
adjustments to planned Capital Improvement Program projects, reducing some budgets and delaying
a few others, the City was able to delay the planned increases for a year such that the rate would not
reach $9.00 per month until FY23, six years later than previously scheduled.

ordinance adopted prior to the City receiving the Flood Mitigation grant. No increase in FY21 due to
the City's coronavirus relief response.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET
PRESENTATION
DUBUQUE’S MUNICIPAL SEPARATE
STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4)
In Iowa, every property owner is responsible for
managing stormwater, accepting runoff from upstream
properties and discharging it to downstream properties.
–Engineering Department helps design, construct,
and maintain minor and major public drainage
facilities to manage stormwater on public property
(i.e. street right-of-way).
DUBUQUE’S MUNICIPAL SEPARATE
STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4)
Since 2003, the City has been subject to a
National Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
MS4 Permit as required by the federal Clean
Water Act.
–The Engineering Department oversees the
NPDES MS4 Permit compliance program,
the goal of which is to prevent stormwater
from collecting and transporting urban
pollutants and delivering them into waters
of the United States.
