July 28, 1970
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
This is to sdvise that I have ap-
proved the following bonds and
desire to have your approval on
same.
SIDEWALK

of the City Solicitor. Seconded by
Councilman Bitter. Carried by the
following vote:
Yeas - Mayor Meyers, Coun-
cilmen Bitter, Couchman, Molden-
hauer, Pregler.
Nays-None.
July 31, 1970
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
I submit the audit of the 1969
city records by certified account-
ants, O'Connor, Brooks, Ahrendt
and Brooks. Also, I submit their
letter of July 24th in which com-
ments are written about several
city operations. I request that the
council consider the following ex.
planations along with the comments
of the accountants.
1. AMBULANCE FEE COLLEC-
TIONS
Collection of ambulance fees
which have been billed are paid
-
to the telephone operator and ac-
counted for by the secretary to the
city manager. The secretary also
initiates the follow up of unpaid
accountS.
During the past months Mr.
Heitzman has devised a system
which is in accord with the ac-
countant's recommendation. He has
stated that the plan will be in-
stalled by October 1st.
2. LIBRARY MINUTES OF MEET.
ING AND EXPENDITURE AU.
THORIZATION
The minutes of the meetings of
the Lihrary Board are approved by
the Board and signed by the Direc-
tor. Also, the library director signs
each voucher authorizing expendi-
ture payments. Further, he reports
expenditures to the Board.
Unless there is some compelling
legal or other reason, the library
will continue to use the present
methods. Mr. Heitzman will ques-
tion the accountants for further in-
formation.
3. UPDATING DOCK BOARD
MONTHLY RECORDS
The 1969 records were not com-
pleted due to illness of a staff mem-
ber- Additional help is not required
in order to comply with the reCom-
mendation.
4. CITY PERSONNEL RECORDS
The auditor has a signed W-4
form for each employee. A record
of each employee is kept by the
manager's office, although the hls-
torical data is not complete. Vaca-
tion and sick leave records are now
kept by the departments, although
centralization of this record keep-
ing is planned.
The first city personnel officer
was hired January 5, 1970. The
statement of the accountant ap-
pears to be erroneous and a bit
premature.
5. CONTROL OVER TRAVEL AD-
VANCES
It has been understood that the
manager approves all travel ad-
vances (with a few exceptions).
This has been an informal proced-
ure.
According to the accountant rec.
ommendatlon, the manager will
now authorize advances by written
approval with the exception of
those for dock, airport and park
commissioners.
Travel vouchers are supported by
paid receipts although I have not
ReguJar Session August 3, 1970
311
insisted that all food expense be
covered by paid invoices. Travel
expense for dock, airport and park
commissioners has not been re-
viewed by the manager.
6. CITY GARAGE STOREKEEP-
ING
There are two store rooms at the
city garage. One which supplies
parts, material and equipment for
the repair of vehicles, and a second
where such Items as hand tools are
stored and issued to the working
crews.
A complete record is kept of all
parts, materials and tools and
equipment. An annual inventory Is
taken. The books, however, are not
adjusted to the value of the annual
inventory.
It is planned to set up a revolv-
ing fund January I, 1971 and this
will tie the garage store room Into
the accounting system.
7. FUNCTION OF COLLECTING
CASH AND MAINTAINING
PARKING TICKET RECORDS
In spite of the recommendation
of the accountants it Is not practi-
cal to separate parking ticket cash
collection and record keeping.
Respectfully,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle
City Manager
Mayor Meyers moved that the
communication be received and
filed. Seconded by Councilman
Couchman. Carried by the following
vote:
Yeas - Mayor Meyers, Coun-
cilmen Bitter, Couchman, Molden-
hauer, Pregler.
Nays-None.
July 31, 1970
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
I am returning to you the peti-
tion of Mr. Rotman concerning
street lighting at the intersection
of 4th and Iowa and along Iowa be-
tween 3rd and 4th.
I am also returning the petition
of Mr. Scherrer concerning the re-
placement of a light removed from
the southeast corner of Iowa and
Fourth by a light on Iowa between
Third and Fourth.
The area has been investigated
and the following is reported and
recommended:
1) That the Intensity of lighting
at the intersection of Fourth and
Iowa seems greater than that pro-
vided by the removed incandescent
light, and further that two addi-
tional lights will be installed this
year upon completion of Fourth
Street construction.
2) It is recommended that a new
250 watt mercury vapor light be
installed on an existing pole on the
east side of Iowa approximately 100
feet from Fourth Street.
Respectfully,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle

To the I'.onorable Mayor

Councilman Pregler brought to
my attention the death of Con-
gressman Kirwan of Ohio and sug.
gested that the city honor him.
I phoned Congressman Culver's
office for guidance and Mr. Todd
Ackerly of that office suggested
that the council pass a fitting reso.
lution and then send it to Mr. Cul-
ver's office. He, in turn, will in-
clude it with his papers which will
be printed in the Congressional
Record.
It was explained that It is the
custom of the House to set aside
a day for honoring deceased mem-
ebrs and that for several designat-
ed days thereafter eulogies are in-
troduced. These are printed in the
record, hound and given to the fam-
ily of the deceased.
I suggest that you adopt the at-
tached or a similar resolution.

The interior of this home is un.

pletely inadequate and the plumb-

The conditions that are present
offer a definite fire hazard. a
breeding place for rats, an attrac-

detriment to this area.
We recommend that immediate
steps be taken to rectify this con-
dition.

Honorable Mayor and
City Council Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has held a public
hearing on a proposal to reclassify
from Single Family Residence to
Multiple Residence property de-
scribed as: that portion of the fol-
lowing described property located
in the SWv. of the NW'I. of Sec-
tion 24, T89N, R2E, of the 5th
P.M., in the City of Dubuque,
Iowa; Lot 1 of 1 of 2, Lot 1 of 6,
Lot 2 of 7, Lot 1 of 6, Lot 3 of 6,
Lot 2 of 5, Lot 2 of 1 of 5, Lot 1
of 1 of 5 and Lot 3 of 3, all in
L. H. Langworthy's Subdivision in
the City of Dubuque, Iowa; and
Lot 1 and Lot 2 of M. A. Rebman's
Subdivision of Lot 1 of Lot 4 of
L. H. Langworthy's Subdivision;
and Lot 2 of 2 of City Lot 674,
Lot 2 of 5 of City Lot 674, Lot 2
of 1 of 3 of City Lot 674, Lot 1 of
1 of 3 of City Lot 674, Lot 2 of 3
of City Lot 674, Lot 4 of City Lot
674 and Lot 7 of City Lot 675;
and Lot I, Lot 1 of 1 of 2, Lot 2
of 1 of 2, and Lot 2 of 2, all in
Duncan's Subdivision; all above
described property in the City of
Dubuque, Iowa. This property is
located along Clarke Drive and
Heeb Street.
The Commission found that the
area in question is developed for
Single Family, Two Family and
Multiple Family uses. It is bor-
der on the East by Commercial
development, on the South by a
nursing home, and on the North
and on the West by one and two
family uses.
This proposal was considered in
response to a request to have a
single lot at the corner of Clarke
Drive and Heeb Street reclassified
from Single Family Residence to
Multiple Residence. In reviewing
the zoning maps it was found that
a small Single Family District ex-
ists in this area and was sur-
rounded by Two Family Residence
and Multiple Residence, and Busi-
ness classifications, and within
this Single Family District the Two
Family and Multiple Family uses
were non-conforming. The propos-
al under consideration would
make all of the uses conforming
and would provide more continuity
on the zoning map.
Special Session, August 24, 1970
It is the recommendation of the following vote:
