CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL SESSION
The Dubuque City Council met in special session at 6:30 p.m.
on February 21, 2023, in the second -floor Council Chambers of
the Historic Federal Building, 350 W. 6th Street.
Present: Mayor Cavanagh; Council Members Farber, Jones,
Resnick, Roussell, Sprank, Wethal; City Manager Van Milligen.
Mayor Cavanagh read the call and stated this is a special
session of the City Council called for the purpose of
conducting public hearings on certain Fiscal Year 2024
Department Budgets.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
FISCAL YEAR 2024 DEPARTMENT BUDGETS
Fiscal Year 2024 City department budgets were presented by
staff from the following departments:
1. City Attorney's Office (Legal Services) Fiscal Year 2024
Budget Presentation: Crenna Brumwell, City Attorney;
2. City Clerk's Office Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Presentation:
Adrienne Breitfelder, City Clerk;
3. Public Information Office Fiscal Year 2024 Budget
Presentation: Randy Gehl, Public Information Officer and Nikki
Rosemeyer, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Coordinator;
4. Human Resources Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Presentation:
Shelley Stickfort, Human Resources Director;
S. City Manager's Office Fiscal Year 2024 Budget
Presentation: Cori Burbach, Assistant City Manager and Gina
Bell, Sustainability Coordinator;
6. City Council Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Presentation: City
Manager Van Milligen.
Staff responded to questions from the City Council following
their respective presentation. Mayor Cavanagh confirmed the
process for City Council Members to suggest amendments to the
budget. A City Council Member may propose to add or remove an
improvement package from a departments budget. Mayor Cavanagh
would then conduct a straw poll of the City Council Members to
determine if there was majority support for the suggestion.
Any items with majority support would be discussed and acted
upon at the final budget hearing to adopt the Fiscal Year 2024
budget. City Council Members discussed their interpretations
of tl—C budget recommendations and the straw poll process for
amending the budget. Mayor Cavanagh advised that any changes
to the City Councils budget amendment process be discussed at
the City Councils annual goal setting. Council Member Farber
requested feedback from the City Council on whether there was
an interest in considering amending the budget to add the
Public Information Offices Improvement Package requests for
the GIS Application Specialist (Improvement Package No. 1) and
the GIS Data Analyst Position (Improvement Package No. 4)
which were not recommended by the City Manager. After
discussion, City Council Members decided to consider the
suggestions at a later date. City Council Members determined
to conduct further budget hearings before discussing any
amendments to add city staff positions to the budget. City
Manager Van Milligen stated that recently adopted state
legislation extends the deadline to certify the Fiscal Year
2024 budget until April of 2023, so the City Council has the
option to reschedule the public hearing to adopt the final
budget if additional time is needed to consider the budget
recommendations.
There being no further business, Mayor Cavanagh declared the
meeting adjourned at 10:13 p.m.
