CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL SESSION
The Dubuque City Council met in special session at 4:00 p.m.
on August 20, 2024, in the Grand River Center. The meeting was
originally scheduled for Room #4 but was relocated to the
River Room due to maintenance issues.
Present: Mayor Cavanagh; Council Members Farber, Jones,
Resnick, Roussell, Sprank, Wethal; City Manager Van Milligen,
City Attorney Brumwell.
Mayor Cavanagh read the call and stated this is a special
session of the City Council called for the purpose of
conducting annual goal setting.
GOAL SETTING
SESSION 1 OF 3
Mayor Cavanagh provided introductory remarks, summarizing
last years accomplishments and current challenges.
Facilitator Lyle Sumek, of Lyle Sumek Associates, Inc.,
reviewed the following sections of the Leaders Guide 2024
Working Document for input from the City Council:
? Section 4 - Performance Report 2023-2024 for City of
Dubuque
? Section 5 - Looking to Dubuque's Future
Assistant City Manager Cori Burbach reviewed proposed
definitions for the five pillars the city aims to uphold to
create an equitable community and organization of choice:
resiliency, sustainability, equity, transparency, and
compassion. The City Council discussed the definitions and
proposed refining the definition of compassion to include
empathy, as well as replacing ?the desire to alleviate
distress?; with ?the desire to help.? City Manager Van
Milligen stated that the definitions will be presented at a
future city council meeting for the City Council to formally
adopt.
Assistant City Manager Burbach suggested that city staff
incorporate the word ?belonging? when discussing diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals. The City Council
deliberated on the terminology and endorsed the inclusion of
?belonging.?
Mr. Sumek reviewed Goals #1, #2, and #8 in Section 7 - Plan
2024-2029 for City Council input.
City Council recessed for dinner at 6:10 p.m. and reconvened
at 6:39 p.m. To continue discussing the goals.
