INTRODUCTION
This memo is to provide information for the City Council prior to the work session
scheduled for December 5 on the Intermodal Center.
BACKGROUND
Neumann Monson Architects was hired in June 2011 to conduct preliminary design for
the Intermodal facility in the Historic Millwork District.
The vision for the facility is that it will support transit connections, rail connections,
vehicular parking, electric vehicle charging, bicycle parking, intercity bus, a passenger
waiting area, taxicab stands, public restrooms and a ticketing office. There is the
potential for retail space, a daycare facility, commercial office space and possibly
lockers and showers /changing areas as part of the restrooms.
Dubuque was recently awarded a State of Good Repair Grant from the U.S. DOT to
build certain components of the Intermodal facility. The awarded components are
• Transit Hub (Local and Inter -City buses)
• Passenger Rail Platform
• Funding for parking (first phase is 250 spaces)
The State of Good Repair Grant award from the FTA is $8,000,000 which represents
70% of a $11,428,000 project. The local match is figured to be $3,428,000.
DISCUSSION
On August 31, 2011, several public input meetings were conducted to get input about
the needs of the Intermodal Facility, and what was important from a design perspective
to encourage a successful development of an intermodal facility in the Millwork District.
Based on input from the Public and the FTA, the design quickly moved to creating
several buildings as opposed to one large facility.
The consultants were back in Dubuque on Monday, October 24, to meet with Millwork
Property Owners and City Staff to review the several site options.
The preferred site option is attached to this memorandum. Reasons for this site plan
being the most desirable by adjoining property owners and City staff are as follows:
• Parking is close to the Millwork Buildings
• Terminal building defines the view corridor down 1 0th Street (the main pedestrian
street to downtown)
• Additional parking potential near the Terminal building
• Bus facility is close to Terminal
• Relocation of Elm Street is avoided
The 80 car surface lot to the east of the Foundry Building would be removed at some
point in the future to create the open public space identified in the Millwork District
Master Plan. It should be noted there are still unknowns with this project. There are
additional environmental tests, soil borings, zoning and historic clearance questions that
must be answered. In addition, part of the site is owned by the Iowa DOT. City Staff
has already begun the discussions with the Iowa DOT to acquire the needed property
for his proposed Intermodal Center.
ACTION STEP
This memorandum, and the attachments, are for informational purposes. The intent of
the work session is to update the City Council on the Intermodal Center Project, answer
any questions they may have related to the project and to seek their input prior to final
design.

MINUTES
ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS ADVISORY COMMISSION
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Lacy Board Room
Carnegie -Stout Public Library
360 W. 11th St., Dubuque, IA
Meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. following staff assurance of compliance with the
Iowa Open Meeting Law.
Commissioners present: Ellen Henkels, Louise Kames, Marina O'Rourke, Geri Shafer and Sue
Riedel, Julie Steffen. Paul Hemmer joined at 5:10 p.m.
Staff Present: Jerelyn O'Connor, Jan Stoffel
Approval of Minutes of September 27, 2011. Motion by Shafer, seconded by Riedel to
approve minutes. Motion carried 6 -0.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Discussion of public input during grant review. Commissioners felt that that having
public input after a grant is received is not consistent with best practices. Normally grant
applicants are not allowed additional input after a grant is submitted. Shafer made note
of the work the grant committee did last year in reviewing the grant guidelines. Shafer
moved and Riedel seconded to support grant subcommittee recommendation to not
allow public input at grant review sessions. Motioned carried 6 -0
2. Discussion of Arts and Cultural Operating Support Funding Program. Shafer
moved and Kames seconded to abide by the existing description of eligibility and funding
parameters for the Operating Support Funding Program. Motion carried 6 -0.
3. FY 13 Budget Requests update. O'Connor reported that she has submitted two FY13
budget improvement requests. One request was to increase funding for the Arts and
Cultural Affairs Coordinator from 10 hours to 20 hours per week. The second request
was the Commission's request for increasing the Arts and Cultural Operating Support
Funding Program by 10 %, or a $20,000 increase.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Review Final Reports from FY11 Special Project Grants. Stoffel reported that all
grants had been successfully completed and closed out within the grant period.
Commission was provided a written report summarizing the FY 11 Special Projects
Grants.
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION
O Hemmer reported that he was still pursuing the feasibility of the production of a video
featuring local arts organizations. He has received two bids. A question was posed to
Hemmer about how the video would be utilized. Hemmer suggested video could be
made available to the Chamber, GDDC, and could possibly be an opportunity for
businesses to utilize it for recruitment.
