Mr. Gilbert D. ChavenelIe
City Manager
Dear Sir:
On April 6, 1971, an inspection
was made of a two story, single
family, frame residence building at
690 East 16th Street, Dubuque,
Iawa.
The interior and exterior of this
home are unclean, unsanitary, di-
lapidated and unfit for human oc-
cupancy.
The conditions that are present
offer a definite fire hazard, a
breeding place for rats, an attrac-
tive nuisance for children and a
detriment to this area.
We recommend that immediate
steps be taken to rectify this can.
dition.
The building is located on the
East * of Lot 355 in East Dubuque
Addition, City of Dubuque, Iowa,
and is owned by John and Beverly
Glynn, 155 Croydon Crest, Du-
boque, Iawa 52001.

July 6, 1971
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
We are writing to request your
affirmation on the purchase of cer.
tain traffic signal and street light-
ing equipment which will be in.
stalled under 8 forthcoming con-
struction contract principally in
the downtown central business dis-
trict. We touched on this subject
briefly at our informal meeting on
June 30, 1971. However, we wish to
284
Adjourned Regular Session, July 6, 1971
take this opportunity to discuss the
matter in detail. I
As you are aware, all of the
traffic signals in the Urban Renew.
al and peripheral areas are being
improved and upgraded to more ef-
ficiently carry the projected traffic
volumes. The street lighting in the
area is also being improved for
safer pedestrian and vehicular
flow and to establish a sense of
continuity to the project.
To this end, when the first ma-
jor signal program, Iowa Street,
was contemplated in 1969, infor-
mal bid proposals were received
on the equipment involved in that
contract. Three bids were received,
Eagle Signal was the lowest bid-
der. Their bid at that time was
closely comparable to the prices
submitted on a purchase basis.
Because most of the existing
equipment operating in the City is
Eagle Signal and our parts inven-
tory reflects this, we feel real ec.
onomies of operatiou cau be real-
ized by continuing with this parts
interchange capability. In the
downtown area aU of the signalized
intersections will be interconnect-
ed, interna1ly sequenced, and pro-
grammed by a master controHer to
change with the demands of traf-
fic. For this reason it is critical
all equipment purchased be com-
patible with the total system.
As we mentioned on June 30,
1971 we were able to save approxi-
mately $2,000.00 in price increases
taking efect July 1 by ordering the
equipment on that date.
The total dollar amount ordered
is $17,636.00. The order was hand-
led on several Purchase Orders aU
except one in amounts under $2,-
600.00. The exception was an order
for the necessary 30' lighting stan-
dards required on Central Avenue
in the amount of $5,440.00. In the
remainder of the project area we
were able to salvage the existing
poles and re.use them on the im-
proved streets. As we near the
completion of the project, nineteen
30' standards are. needed to com-
plete the lighting system in the
U.R. Project. These. could have
been included as an item to be
furnished under the forthcoming
construction contract, however, it
has been our experience that a
contractor adds 1()'15% to the aup-
."'.~
pliers price on a material item in
the contract. The lighting stand-
ards are the same type as those in
the balance of the project area and
provide uniformity for the total
system.
In conclusion, we would ask your
concurrence on the previously de-
scribed purchase as heing in the
best interest of the total plan for
the downtown area.

Honorable Mayor

On January 11, 1971, Selma Mas-
sey, filed claim against the City of
Dubuque, Iowa claiming personal
injuries as the result of a fan on
January 6, 1971 on an icy side-
walk at or near 2241 Central Ave-
nue in the City of Dubuque, Iowa.
This matter was referred to the
City Attorney who made an inves-
tigation and determined that the
claimant had suffered a broken
arm and that her hospital and doc-
tor bills totaled approximately the
sum of $400.00; and loss of wages
- $729.20 and that the said claim-
ant has made an offer of settle.
ment in the amouut of $1,061.20 to
which amount the insurance car-
rier for the abutting property has
agreed to pay $500.00 and the City
shan pay $561.20.
It is therefore recommended
that the settlement offer be ap-
proved and that the City Auditor
be instructed to draw a warrant
payable to Selma Massey and IDair
Massey, hushand and wife, in the
amount of $561,20 and transmit
same lor delivery upon receipt of
duly executed releases.

Special Session, July 19, 1971
Shaffer, spouse of Helen Shaffer,
and said action having beeu pre-
ceded by notice to the City of
Dubuque of claim for injuries al-
legedly received on December 17,
1967 while plaintiff, Helen Shaf-
fer, was walking on the public
walk abutting the premises of 109
E. 32nd Street in the City of Du-
buque, Iowa and as a result of
which defect, she fell and frac-
tured her hip and injuring her
knee and incurring substantial
medical expense and suffering, and
resulting in a permanent disabil-
ity of twenty-five percent of the
whole person. The foregoing mat-
ter was heard in the District Court
of Dubuque County, Iowa before a
jury and the jury trial which com-
menced on July 6, 1971 and on I
July 8, 1971 an offer of settlement
was made in the amount of
$5,000.00.
It is to be borne in mind that
the City brought in the property
owner as a cross-defendant and
who resisted the claim of the plain-
tiff together with the City.
Of said amount of settlement, it
would be expected that the City
would pay one-half thereof or in
the amount of $2,500.00 and it is
the recommendation' of the City
Attorney that said offer of settle-
ment be accepted and that the
City undertake and agree to pay
the court costs to the extent of
one-half thereof and in addition
thereto, that the City Attorney be
authorized and empowered to con-
fess judgment for and on behalf
of the City in the amount of
$2,500.00, same to bear interest at
the rate of 5% commencing from
the date of entry of said judgment
in order that the same may be
budgeted for the year 1972 as the
statute provides.
Original petition with notice and
original claim is returned here-

City Council
You have referred to this writer
and to the City Manager a peti-
tion of John Heiderscheit through
his attorney, Alfred E. Hughes, for
permission to connect to the city
water system and to the city sewer
system the property known as Lots
90 and 91 in Linehan Park Subdi-
vision in Dubuque County, Iowa.
In Mr. Hughes' oral presentation
to the City Council there was some
suggsetion that the Ordinance was
mandatory in requiriug the City
to grant such permission.
1 have reviewed Ordinance No.
5-59, upon which the petitioner re-
lies, and it is my opinion that the
provisions and terms thereof do
not remove the discretionary op-
tion in the City Council, City of
Dubuque, Iowa whether or not to
grant such permission to make con-
nection to the City water system
and the City sewer system.
This matter rests solely within
the discretion of the City Council
to grant or deny.
The recommendation of the City
Manager, City Water Department
and the City Engineering depart-
ment appear to urge the Council
to deny the request.
I am returning the matters re-
ferred to me which are attached
hereto.
