Dubuque Ward and Precinct Plan: Revisions to Ordinance and Map
As required, the recently adopted Dubuque Ward and Precinct Plan was sent to the
State of Iowa Secretary of State's Office for review. The Secretary of State is
recommending the following three changes:
Changing street name types such as street, avenue, boulevard, etc. to insure
consistency with the Census Bureau Tract maps.
Adding qualifying language to the metes and bounds description, such as
"southwesterly" versus "southerly" and "along the north fork of Catfish Creek"
versus "along Catfish Creek."
Altering the mapped boundary along McDonald's private road between precincts
13 and 16 to more closely approximate the census block boundary.
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is recommending adoption of the revised
ordinance and map.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Dubuque Ward and Precinct Plan: Revisions to Ordinance and Map
On October 29, 2001, the Planning Services Department received a facsimile from Sandy
Steinbach, Secretary of State, Elections Division, for the State of Iowa. Ms. Steinbach is
responsible for reviewing reprecincting plans submitted to the state by counties and
municipalities. After review of the ward and precinct plan submitted by the City of Dubuque,
Ms. Steinbach has asked for some minor changes to the metes and bounds language of the
ordinance, and one minor change to the boundary between precincts 13 and 16 as delineated
on the ward and precinct map.
The changes recommended include:
~)
Changing street name types such as street, avenue, boulevard, etc. to insure
consistency with the Census Bureau Tract maps.
2)
Adding qualifying language to the metes and bounds description, such as
"southwesterly" versus "southerly" and "along the north fork of Catfish Creek" versus
"along Catfish Creek".
3)
Altedng the mapped boundary along McDonald's private road between precincts 13 and
16 to more closely approximate the census block boundary.
None of the recommended changes to the text of the metes and bounds description of the ward
and precinct boundaries, or the minor alteration to the map boundary between precincts 13 and
16, affect the population totals. All the wards and precincts and polling places designated in the
original plan remain primarily as is. If these changes are approved and the new map and
ordinance are adopted, Ms. Steinbach has recommended approval of the City of Dubuque's
ward and precinct plan. Tom O'Neill, Commissioner of Elections for Dubuque County, concurs
with the state's requested changes.
I recommend that the City Council adopt the revised ordinance and map with the changes
requested by the State of Iowa.
