1969 January Council Proceedings
Regular Session, January 6, 1969

hundreds, yes, of thousands of citi-
zens who have assembled for prog-
ress. They like to see our City go
ahead and it's those people, it's
not the City Fathers or the City
Council and the Mayor. They are
the least of the factors, the least
factor perhaps in the progress of
a City. It's the staff, the dedicated
staff, the dedicated volunteers who
are ready to sacrifice their time,
yes, their time and their money
for the good of the City. It's those,
it's a combination of those factors
that make a City great. But before
I leave off I want to say thank you
to everybody who has worked to
make Dubuque progress to the ex-
tent that it has progressed.
Criticism I have had always in
this job. Some of this criticism was
right to my teetb, some of It was
beblnd my back. But I expected
criticism and I bope, that In all
the time that I have lived on
earth, I become sufficiently thick
skinned to be able to handle. But
tbe criticism that I valued most
during the year that I have been
Mayor has come from my own
children. I have three of tbem wbo
own their own bomes and wbo are
raising their families rigbt here
In the City of Dubuque. They have
faith in the future just like I bave
always had faitb in the future,
and I know that when I get criti-
cism from tbem It's tempered
with love even thougb it's very
very serious and I can tell you,
any of you who know my two sons
and my daughter you know that
It would be serious. I am very
glad to have had this year as your
Mayor, and all I can say to tbe
men around tbe table, to the staff,
to the volunteers who have given
so much of tbeir time to make our
works tick. Thank you.

FIRST MEETING OF THE FISCAL
YEAR 1969, collod for tho pur-

Outgoing Mayor McCauley made
the following comments:
I was not much for speech mak-
ing, Ladies and Gentlemen, wben
I started here a year ago; and I
certainly don't intend to make
mucb of a speech now. I think
Tennyson said In a poem one
time, a long time ago, "I looked
into the future as far as a living
eye can see. I saw a vision on the
wall and all the wonder that could
be." That's what I would like to
do. rd like to look into the future
a little bit and see what Dubuque
has in store for itself in the years
to come.
I see in the years to come the
completion of the Floodwall. I see
in the years to come the comple-
tion of the downtown Urban Re-
newal Site, a new and complete
renovation of our sewer system, a
new Fire Headquarters. a garbage
disposal plant. I see those things
continued for 1969 and I see a lit-
tle bit farther in the future. The
Nortb-South Expressway through
the City of Dubuque, connections
with the Interstate Highway, pos-
sibly a connection between Du-
buque and Davenport to the Soutb,
possibly a four-lane serviceable
Highway 20 that runs throngh Du-
buque.
I see visions of a little bit more
distant future of a regional Air-
port. Now those are my feelings
for the future-a completion of
wbat has been started this year
and a projection of what's going
on in tbe future.
Now how do we go forward,
how do we go forward? We simply
go forward through tbe efforts of

The Honorable Mayor

Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
Bids were received today cover-
ing the $2,000,000 City of Dubuque
Sewer Revenue Bonds. Tbere were
no oral bids. There were two
sealed bids received which are
listed at tbe bottom of this letter
in accordance with the attached
signed bids.
Upon examination it is our
opinion that the bid of First Bos-
ton Corporation and Associates is
the best bid received, and it is
further our opinion that it is
favorable to the City and should
be accepted. We therefore recom-
mend that tbe bonds be awarded
to tbat bidder at par plus accrued
interest, plus a premium of $135.00
for the interest coupons shown in
the bid, being a net interest rate
of 5.09078%.

Westchester Subdivision in ArtIcle
2 (b) of the zoning ordinance.
The property in question is

premises-
At the hearing there were 5

mission that in view of the op-
position of the surrounding prop-
erty owners that there was not
substantial enough reason to make
the proposed change. It is the
recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Commission that tbe
request not be approved.
