Proceedings to Hold Public Hearing for the Issuance of Not to Exceed $761,000 Stormwater Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement – Sponsorship Project Amend- ment 2024 Green Alley Project: Motion by Roussell to receive and file the documents and adopt Resolution No. 198-25 Taking additional action on proposal to enter into a Storm- water Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement. Seconded by Wethal. Van Milligen clarified that the State Revolving Fund (SRF) low-interest loan program will continue. However, the City is no longer permitted to use interest earned from SRF loans to fund other projects, which was a practice that was previously allowed. He also confirmed that the SRF program is federally funded and indicated that there is no sign it will be discon- tinued. If the SRF program were to end, the City would instead issue General Obligation (GO) debt, which carries a higher interest rate. Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Larson noted that SRF loans have variable interest rates, with the most recent quarter’s rate at 2.84%. In contrast, the City’s most recent GO bond sale had an interest rate between 4.5% to 4.7%. Unlike GO bonds, which require a Moody’s rating prior to issuance, SRF loans do not require a credit rating. Additionally, because SRF loans are issued as reve- nue bonds, they do not count against the City’s statutory debt limit. Motion carried 7-0.

Breitfelder, City Clerk PUBLIC INPUT Mary Klaas, 1405 Lincoln Ave.; Executive Director of the Dubuque Arboretum and Bo- tanical Gardens Jenna Hirtz, 3800 Arboretum Dr.; Art Gilloon, 535 Heritage Dr.; Joan Dahlquist, 790 Caledonia; and William Meyer, 1856 Rhomberg Ave. all spoke regarding Action Item No. 1, requesting the City Council uphold the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission’s recommendation to retain City Code Section 10-5B-4, which prohibits dogs and cats in specific parks - including Eagle Point Park, Murphy Park, Marshall Park, and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Their concerns with allowing pets in these parks included animal waste, noise, potential disruption to events held at these locations, and the negative impact on the unique character of the parks. Breitfelder stated that written input was received for Action Item No. 1 by Nicole Gantz; Luann LeConte, 9698 Route 52 S.; John and Nancy Ferry, 3235 Baldwin Dr.; and Art Gilloon, 535 Heritage Dr. ACTION ITEMS 1. Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Recommendation on City Code 10 -5B- 4; Dogs and Cats: Motion by Jones to sustain the recommendation of the Park and Rec- reation Advisory Commission. Seconded by Roussell. When asked to clarify the motion, Brumwell explained that it was to uphold and accept the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission’s recommendation not to amend City Code Section 10 -5B-4. City Council Members expressed their appreciation to the Commission for its work and acknowledged the significant public input received on the issue. They stated that maintaining the current code struck an appropriate balance between parks that allow pets and those that do not. Council Members recognized the concerns expressed by individuals who prefer not to have dogs in certain parks. While many Council Members noted they are dog owners themselves, they emphasized that the decision reflects the consideration of varying com- munity needs, rather than a matter of choosing sides. They also acknowledged that, alt- hough Dubuque is the only major city in Iowa that does not allow pets in all parks, being an outlier in this case is acceptable. It was further suggested that the City could consider adding another dog park. Motion carried 7-0. 2.

Pet Licensing System Selection: Motion by Farber to receive and file the documents and approve proceeding with contract discussions and contract execution with Docupet for the Pet Licensing System. Seconded by Sprank. Public Health Director Mary Rose Corrigan explained that the new system features more advanced technology and is ex- pected to cost approximately 62% less than the current software. Customers will be able to add pets instantly, and renewal reminders can be s ent via email, with text reminders also in development. Pet licensing fees will remain unchanged. The improved user expe- rience is intended to boost pet license registrations, which support animal control opera- tions. Corrigan noted she was not aware of any Artificial Intelligence (AI) features in the platform, though it may be possible.

This adjustment would allow future recommendations to be incorporated into the annual budget process.

It was recommended that this topic be addressed in a future governance session to gain insight into how other City Councils manage compensation. Although some Council Mem- bers expressed interest in setting the Mayor’s salary higher than the amount recom- mended by the task force, they ultimately agreed to support the task force’s recommen- dation. Motion amended by Jones to adopt the Task Force’s recommendation of a 6.3% increase in compensation, which would set the annual salary at $15,732 for the Mayor and $11,799 for City Council members, effective January 1, 2026. Seconded by Wethal. Motion carried 7-0.
