1962 August Council Proceedings
259
Honorable Mayor and City Council
on July 2, 1962.
A detailed analysis of estimated
revenues and expenditures was
made by the Committee. Estimated
cash balances as of January 1, 1963
and January 1, 1964 were also pro-
jected, based on fe-evaluation of
revenues and expenditures during
1962 and 1963.
There were a number of items
where our differences were rela-
tively small and since the cash
balances do not appear to be ex-
cessive, we have accepted the
1963 City Budget as being reason.
able. We would like to commend
those who prepared the budget as
to the orderliness and detailed in-
formation which was available to
us for analysis purposes.
Yours truly,

Adopted
by a vote has directed us to fUr-
nish a new service-namely the
municipal court-cost $60,000. The
Dutch Elm Pestilence requires an
additional sum for increased pro~
tection-cost $15,000. The Pension
and Retirement funds require ad-
ditional money as a safeguard to
the City employees welfare;-cost
$44,000; Total $119.000. If we could
eliminate these items alone, the
tax rate would be less than that
of this year 1962. I examined the
budget in another way for the
taxpayer. What is he getting for
the taxes he will be paying in 1963
including the additional .7 mill
increase. The City will furnish him
with all of the present services he
is receiving. In addition $25,000
will provide needed additional per-
sonnel, $132,000 for new Equip-
ment, $575,000 of new improve-
ments. He will receive the Munici~
pal Court, more Dutch Elm control,
as well as protecting the pension
and retirement rights of the city
servants.

lance department be divorced from
the fire department. That longev-

of five years instead of the present
seven and a half years.
Mr. Wm. MiIcoff, representing
the street department employees,
stated that their group is against
the merit system. They would like
a cost of living plan.
Councilman Horgan moved that
the Manager be instructed to con-

To accomplish these ends are
we mortgaging the future or are
we trying to operate a multi-mil-
lion operation on too thin a mar-
gin? Not at all-the balances pro-
jected total some $200,000 whicb
will serve as a safe cushion and
tend to serve as a safeguard against
some unexpected emergency,
I would be remiss if I did not
commend Mr. Chavenelle and his
committee, Mr. Frommelt and Mr.
Holscher for their labors in per~
fecting this document. I am cer~
tain that no Council in the entire
country has been presented with a
better document or one that knows
better where every dollar will go.
It is a privilege to cast a vote of
approval for such a skillfully pre-
pared budget. I hope the people of
Dubuque are aware to some de-
gree of the capabilities and dedica-
tion of the Manager, the Clerk and
the Auditor. My personal thanks
gentlemen for a job "well done.'.
I also highly commend the Boards
and Commissions in closely co-
operating with the Manager and
his committee to make the 1963
budget palitable with Dubuque
taxpayers.

The following statement was
read by Councilman Takas:
Since coming to this Council in
1958, one of my main concerns has
been both the budget and tbe ad-
ministrative control of the bud~
geted items. I have consistently
fought at this table for economy
in Municipal spending for realistic
action in exercising proper budget-
ary control and developing a fiscal
expenditure program which is con-
sistent with the wishes of the citi-
zens of our community. I believe
this is one of the more important
functions of a Councilman.
I also recognize that it is also
our duty and obligation to provide
adequately for a growing City and
we are a growing city. It is neces-
sary therefore. to balance the re~
straint of expenditures with a
proper tolerance for inevitable
growtb.
With this viewpoint I have an-
alyzed the 1963 budget. The public

May 15, 1962 and the fallowing
is the report.
Mr. Gilbert D. Chavenelle
City Manager
Dubuque, Iowa
Dear Mr. Chavenelle:
An inspection of a dilapidated
structure formerly a dwelling lo-
cated at 940 Althauser Street has
been inspected by the Fire, Health
and Building Departments and we
wish to report the following:
This structure has been vacant
for many years and the general
destruction due to lack of care
or maintenance has reduced this
building to a shell. The stone walls
in the basement section have col-
lapsed. The exterior walls are miss-
ing in sections. The windows are
missing. The floors are rotten and
stripped to the joists.
This structure was never con.
nected to the sewer and water was
served by a cistern.
The building is a menace to the
public, a fire hazard and an at-
traction for children to trespass.
We recommend that proper steps
be taken to remove the remains
of this building.

The matter has been investigated

In short, all garbage type refuse

pick-up except the accumulation
of Wednesday and Saturday nights.
The latter is disposed of in the in.

Mr. Jim Hajincoleas
Dubuque, Iowa
Dear Mr. Hajincoleas:
I have personally inspected your
property Lot 326 East Dubuque
Addition, 1398 Maple Street and
find the conditions as they have
been reported to me by the Build-
ing Commissioner, Sanitation In-
spector and the Fire Chief, sub-
stantially correct.
According to City Ordinance No.
35---52, you are hereby given ten
(10) days notice to dismantle the
building, fill the cisterns and out.
houses and clean up the premises.
Yours very truly,
GILBERT D. CHAVENELLE,
City Manager
This notice has not been served.
The record title holder Mr. Hajin-
coleas is deceased and apparently
no estate was established. On Jan.
uary 25, 1939 there was a mortgage
to :Fred Nicholas in the amount of
$500.00 this man is also deceased.
A man by the name of Mike Nick
was the last occupant. He is pres-
ently at a local rest home but he
does not own the property.
This is the situation at present
and I recommend that the pro-
visions of Ordinance No. 35---52 be
enforced and a public hearing be
held after proper notice.
Respectully submitted,
GILBERT D. CHAVENELLE,

To the Honorable Mayor

Gentlemen: The enclosed agree.
ment for additional storm drain-
age on Highway No. 20 is the re-
sult of a conversation which the
City Engineer and I had with the
State District Highway Engineer
some weeks ago.
The additional storm drain con-
struction is necessary in order to
prevent water flowing over the
new road. The agreement providing
that the city pay one-half the cost
of construction is an equitable ar-
rangement, and funds are avail-
able and have been set aside for
the project in the Road Use Tax
Fund.
It is hoped that this situation
will be resolved when the City
undertakes an area annexation pro-
gram.
