clean-up items that remain listed in Abstract Title Opinion:
Motion by Sprank to receive and file the documents and adopt
Resolution No. 66-24 Approving the release of Historic Real
Estate Filings related to Dubuque Racing Association and Q
Casino as they have either been exhausted, satisfied, amended,
or superseded by subsequent documents and make creating an

intended by Dubuque Racing Association on Chaplain Schmitt

removal of such filing from the abstract. Seconded by Farber.
Motion carried 7-0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Cavanagh summarized the public hearing process that
previously occurred to set the maximum property tax rate for
Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). City Council Members discussed their
options for holding certain improvement package requests for
separate discussion. The City Council determined that at least
four City Council Members must agree to hold an improvement
package request for separate discussion. Mayor Cavanagh stated
that he would request feedback from the City Council at the
end of each budget hearing special session on any improvement
packages to discuss. Final discussion on improvement package
requests would occur during the final hearing to adopt the
FY25 budget on April 11, 2024, City Council Members also
determined that a City Council Member should propose how to
offset the additional funding of any improvement packages they
would like to recommend.
