TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Rate Revision to City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Section 32 and
Snow Removal Costs
DATE: March 12, 2008
The Fiscal Year 2009 budget recommendation includes parking fee increases to
support the Parking Division budget.
The normal intent would be to implement those fee increases effective July 1, 2008.
However, the current year (FY08) Parking Division budget is $145,448 over budget for
snow removal and ice control.
Parking Division Supervisor Tim Horsfield is recommending that the requested fee
increases for the Parking Division go into effect on April 1, 2008. This will provide an
additional $37,000 for the current year budget.
The fee increases include:
$5.00 per month for contract parking in both the parking ramps and surface lots
The rate in parking ramps for the first hour of use will increase from 50¢ to $1.00
The quarterly parking fee in the downtown meter district will increased from
$37.50 per quarter to $50.00 per quarter
The remaining budget shortfall for snow removal and ice control will come from the
following:
• $50,000 from the Parking Meter Replacement CIP
• $40,000 from the Seal Coating and Paving of Parking Lots CIP
• $76,000 from the Surface Sealing of the 5th Street Ramp
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Rate Revision to City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Section 32 and
Snow Removal Costs
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to you a copy of proposed ordinance
changes for your review and approval and to recommend a course of action regarding
the snow removal costs for the Parking Division. The ordinance change would revise
City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Section 32.
DISCUSSION
It is being recommended in our budget request for FY '09 that all contract parking in
both the parking ramps and in the surface lots be increased $5 per month. It is also
recommended that the rates in the parking ramps for the cost of the first hour of use
increase from $.50 to $1.00. In addition, it is proposed that the quarterly parking fee
allowed by ordinance in the downtown meter district increase from $37.50 per quarter to
$50.00 per quarter.
The Parking Division is currently over budget $145,448 for snow removal and ice
control.
If the requested fee increases for the Parking Division went into effect on April 1, 2008
rather than July 1, 2008, there would be additional revenue of $37,000 generated in FY
2008 to help cover the overages of snow removal costs.
In addition, there is $50,000 from the parking meter replacement CIP and $40,000 from
the seal coating and paving parking lots CIP that could be used towards the snow
removal costs. The surface sealing of the 5th Street Ramp can also be delayed which
would provide $76,000 towards snow removal.
RECOMMENDATION
I am recommending that the attached proposed ordinance be submitted to the City
Council for adoption with an effective date of April 1, 2008 and $50,000 from the
parking meter replacement CIP, $40,000 from the seal coating and paving parking lots
CIP, and $76,000 from the surface sealing of the 5th Street Ramp be used to cover
overages related to snow removal.
