(OFFICIAL)
Adjourned Regular Session, Feb-
ruary 9, 1959.
Council met at 7:30 P.M.
Present -Mayor Kintzinger,
Councilmen Freund, Schueller, Ta-
kos, Welu. City Manager Schiltz.
Mayor Kintzinger stated that
this is an adjourned meeting of
the regular meeting of February
2, 1959 for the purpose of acting
upon such business as may prop-
erly come before a regular meet-
ing of the City Council.
Forward
My purpose in presenting the
following report to the news media
prior to it's introduction at the
regular meeting of the City Coun-
cil on February 2nd, 1959 is in
hope that citizens being informed
of the issues, will give their opin-
ions to the members of the coun•
cil.
Gentlemen, one year has passed
since I was elected to this coun-
cil. In that time, I have grown
more familiar with the workings
of our municipal government, and
I have come to believe that there
are areas in which our service to
the citizens can be improved.
The areas to which I wish to call
your attention are Communica-
tions, that is, the flow of informa-
tion between the city government
and the citizens, and within the
organizational structure of the city
government; Long-Range Planning,
with regard to the development of
Dubuque; and Finance and Budget•
ing.
I have several specific proposals
in each of these areas, I would
welcome the comments of the
council and, of course, any addi-
tional proposals.
IN THE AREA OF COMMUNI-
CATIONS, Ifeel that it is vital
that the city adopt a positive and
sincere program designed to in-
form the taxpayers-in detail-of
the programs underway. I do not
believe that the city government or
the Council have the confidence
of the voters.
As an example, I cite the de-
feat of the Annexation issue in the
recent elections. This was, in ef•
fect, a proposal by city officials
and the Council to the voters. The
defeat of the proposition must, to
some degree, be considered a vote
of "No Confidence:'
I believe that much of this lack
of confidence is due to inadequate
information. The natural reaction
of an uninformed person is one
of suspicion and distrust. The
Council must deal with this prob-
lem by establishing two-way ave-
nues of communication between
the citizens and the Council.
This same difficulty, I feel, ex-
ists within the city government. It
is important that the members of
the various governing bodies and
each city employee be fully in-
formed of the plans and objectives
not only of their individual depart-
ments and branches but of the city
as a whole. Maximum efficiency
can be achieved only if each of us
is able to evaluate our effort in
relation to the total program of
the city.
I offer seven proposals in this
area:
1) To improve the flow of infor-
mation to the people, I propose
that the City Manager be directed
to prepare a monthly "progress re-
port" for the news media concern-
ing city activity and business. This
report to be presented at a regu-
larly scheduled press conference.
The guiding principal should be
that all information which is not
directly prejudicial to the program
or persons involved be made avail-
able. In those few instances which
require special handling, complete
details should be released at the
earliest possible time.
2) To provide the citizens with
every opportunity to communicate
with their Councilmen, I propose
that the members of the Council
adopt a policy of being on-hand in
the Council Chamber one-half hour
prior to each meeting. This should
also act to relieve councilmen of
the routine inquiries which are
directed to them from day to day.
3) Ta encourage greater partici-
pation by the people in the affairs
of the Council, I propose that the
agenda of the council meetings be
arranged in such a way that mat-
ters of particular interest are pre-
sented first and that all routine
Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 89
business be grouped and reserved
to the end of the agenda. This re-
vision would allow the radio sta-
tions to broadcast those portions
of the meetings which are of in•
terest to their audiences.
4) To promote attendance at
council meetings, I propose that
the council adopt the policy of
meeting at a site other than the
council chambers when the busi-
ness before the council is of such
interest as to require an auditori•
um of greater capacity. In the past
many people have not been able
to get into meetings, or have been
discouraged from attending meet-
ings by the limited space avail-
' able.
5) To assure that city employees
are well informed with regard to
policies which affect them and of
the general program of the city
government, I propose that the
program of education of city em-
ployees be intensified, The general
objective of this effort should be
to aid city employees in under-
standing their position of service
i to the community, and to enable
them to better interpret the pro-
grams and policies of the city gov-
ernment,
6) To aid the members of the
various boards and commissions
~ and the heads of the departments,
~, I propose the installation of quar-
terly work sessions including these
persons and the Council. This
, should do much to foster better
v understanding among these groups.
~ Certainly, if all understand the re-
lotion of their area of specific in-
terest to the over-all plans of the
city they will be able to function
more effectively. Also, the oppor•
tunities for development which lie
b before the city are many. Inevita•
bly, it will be necessary to choose
those projects which seem to re-
quire priority. The workshops
should aid in promoting under-
standing of these decisions.
t 7) To insure that each council-
man is as well informed as possi-
ble on the matters which are pre-
sented to the Council, I propose
' that the City Manager be directed
to prepare a bi-monthly report to
the- Council, with specific attention
to those issues in the planning
stages which are to come before
the Council. During my year in of-
fice, I have been greatly handi-
capped in evaluating many items
which appeared on the agenda of
the Council of which I had not
been previously informed.
THE AREA OF LONG-RANGE
PLANNING demands our most
careful consideration. A well or-
ganized plan of zoning and annexa-
tion can do much to foster the de-
velopment of our city. Careful stu•
dy must be made of the require-
ments of our increasing population
to insure that adequate business
areas are available in the city
and that ample provision is made
for future growth. I believe the
Council must take the initiative
in re-zoning to promote business
and trade as it has taken the ini-
tiative in promoting new industry
through the City Island Project.
In this area I offer four pro-
posals:
1) To foster the development of
the business community, I propose
that the Council, together with the
Planning and Zoning Commission,
consider the extension of business
zoning in the downtown area and
other sections of the city which
indicate need for such re-zoning.
Such re-zoning by area seems mare
desirable than the present policy
of acting on individual petitions
which are often highly colored by
personal differences between prop-
erty owners in the affected area.
2) To modernize zoning ordin-
ances, Ipropose that the City So-
licitor be instructed to review
these laws and to offer his recom-
mendations regarding ordinances
which are outdated, no longer ap-
plicable, or require revision for
other reasons.
3) To provide a sound basis for
the orderly acquisition of addi-
tional lands for the city, I propose
that a comprehensive plan of
staged annexation be prepared.
The plan should envision twenty-
five to fifty years of the projected
growth of the city and should be
organized in stages which would
provide for revision in coming
years. I believe that this plan
should be prepared in time to
allow the first phase of annexa-
tion of properties now required
for expansion to be presented to
the voters in the November elec-
tion,
90 Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959
4) To aid in planning, I pro-
pose that the present Master Plan
be amended to reflect the devia-
tions which have taken place. Al-
so, there are currently certain
concepts of development which are
not in the plan and which should
be included. The value of a Master
Plan would seem to rest in its
showing accurately the current
status of development and pro-
jected thinking.
THE AREA OF FINANCE AND
BUDGETING has been of special
interest to me long before coming
to the Council. In this area I feel
my responsibility is clear cut. The
people of Dubuque are anxious to
see their city grow. This develop-
ment must be organized to permit
it to be accomplished within the
scope of a reasonable taxation pro-
gram.
I am keenly aware that an imag•
inative and far-reaching program
of development is necessary if we
are to achieve this desired growth.
It is precisely because of my in-
terest in Dubuque's progress that
I insist that we must receive the
maximum value for each available
tax-dollar
It is the responsibility of each
department and agency of our
municipal government to achieve
all possible efficiency in using
their alloted funds. We on the
Council must be careful to channel
the city's tax revenue to those
projects which seem to offer the
best return in terms of growth and
development.
In this area I offer four pro-
posals:
1) To reduce the expense of
maintaining city passenger vehi-
cles, Ipropose that the City Man-
ager investigate the various fleet
rental programs for possible utili-
zation by the city in lieu of the
purchase of such vehicles. Many
large businesses have found such
rentals desirable. This in itself is
enough to justify such an investi-
gation.
2) To permit realistic budget-
ing, Ipropose that every effort
be made to reduce existing cash
balances maintained by the city.
It is senseless to devote time to
preparing a detailed budget when,
in fact, almost every department,
board, and commission has at its
disposal liberal funds which may
be used at will.
3) To aid the Council in re-
viewing the budget, I propose that
a committee of qualified persons
be invited to serve as a Budget
Analyzing Committee. This group
would be an invaluable aid to the
individual councilman in perform-
ing the research necessary for a
comprehensive analysis of the
budget. The committee should be
as representative as possible, and
preferably, should include persons
whose training qualifies them for
such service. Representatives could
be drawn from the Local Organized
Labor, the League of Women
Voters, the Junior and Senior
Chamber of Commerce, the Du•
buque Real Estate Board, the Eco-
nomics and Business Departments
of the city's colleges and univer-
sity, and other interested civic
and business groups. In it's report
to the Council the committee
should include both majority and
minority opinions.
I ask that the enumerated pro•
posals be discussed individually
by the council. To conserve time
for discussion, I have furnished
councilmen with copies of this
statement prior to the meeting.
I ask that the City Clerk be in-
structed to enter this statement
in the minutes without a reading~
I believe it would be a sound
policy for the Council to set aside
some time each year for a general
review of the operations of the
municipal government. I would be
most happy if these proposals
would serve as the basis of such a
discussion.
PETER J. TAKOS

Mayor Kintzinger moved that
the communication be made a
matter of record. Seconded by
Councilman Freund. Carried by
the following vote:
Yeas-Mayor Kintzinger, Coun-
cilmen Freund, Schueller, Takos.
Nays-Councilman Welu.
Councilman Freund expressed
himself by stating that the City
Manager should be available to all
newsmedia and he should make
news releases when reporters call
at his office. The idea of coming
to the Council Chamber a half hour
before the meeting in his opinion
is considered superfluous.

He personally felt that the
Planning & Zoning Commission is
doing a very fine job. He also
stated that he felt that the ex-
tension of the business area is
not necessary but rather that a
rejuvenation of the area would be
in order. He is not opposed to a
shopping center. The preservation
of down-town is imperative.
He could see no advantage to a
group of citizens going over the
budget- That is the job of the
Council as they have been elected
by the people to handle the bud-
get. Ataxpayer's association may
be formed at $1.00 per year for
each individual in an advisory
capacity. Advice by a qualified
group is most welcome.
Councilman Welu concurred
with the remarks made by Council-
man Freund.
Councilman Freund that regu-
larly scheduled informal sessions

Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The Planning & Zoning Commis-
sion has examined the Preliminary
Investigation and Plans for the
Fourteenth Street Viaduct and ap-
proach Roadway Extensions pre-
pared by Howard, Needles, Tam-
men and Bergendoff and the Final
Plans and Specifications for the
Fengler Street overpass as pre-
pared by A. A, Rhomberg.
The Plans are in accord and fit
in the Master Plan and tie in very
well with the industrial area as
.now developed and planned to be
developed. They provide an excel-
lent circulation system for present
and future industries located in
this area and establish a more con-
venient route to the Eagle Point
and Wisconsin area. They also
make the Fire and Police protec-
tion much more adequate.
These projects have been fore-
most in the Commissions planning
for many years and the Commis-
sion commends the City Council
for their foresight, diligence and
aggressive action. The Commission
hereby approves the Preliminary
Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 93

Fourteenth Street Viaduct and the
Final Plans and Specifications for
the Fengler Street overpass and
sincerely hopes for an early reali-

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The intersection of Vernon and
Glen Oak Streets has been in the
past a source of complaints that
the vision is obscured at this in-
tersection which may cause serious
accidents.
Both Glen Oak and Vernon
Streets at this location have been
improved and there has been a
gradual residential growth north
of Vernon on Glen Oak Street.
While the accident experience
has been light at this location the
accidents that have occurred were
marked by severe property loss
and heavy damage. It is felt that if
stop signs were erected at this
intersection it would reduce the
possibility of future serious oc-
currences. Because of the topo-
graphic conditions at this intersec-
tion, it is believed that traffic on
Glen Oak Street should be stopped
before entering Vernon Street.
It is recommended therefore
that stop signs be erected so that
north and south bound traffic on
Glen Oak Street will stop at the
~ intersection with Vernon Street,
and that the City Solicitor prepare
the proper proceedings.
Respectfully submitted,

cels of lots erroneously list-
ed and assessed mostly due
to subdivision of lots be-
tween the period of prelimi-
nary assessment and final
assessment:
a. Lot 2-1-1-1.152 of Finley,
Waples and Burton's Addi-
tion-the assessment should
have been $172.25.
b. Lot 1.2 of Schiltz Place was
assessed $27.56, and this as-
sessment should be elimi-
nated.
c, Lot 1-1.208 of Lenox Addi-
tion was listed as Lot 1-208
of Lenox Addition, and the
assessment should have been
$95.56.
d. Lot 123 Finley, Waples, and
Burtons Addition was as-
sessed $172.25--this assess-
ment should be eliminated
due to a previous assess-
ment.
The assessment against the fol-
lowing lots were listed as:
Mettel Realty & Investment
Co., Lot 11102, Lenox Add, 41.33
Eleanor M. Smith, Lot 2-4(12
Lenox. Add . ...................... 130,90
The assessment should have been
listed as follows:
Mettel Realty & Investment
Co., Lot 11102, Lenox Add. 130.90
,Eleanor M, Smith, Lot 2-402
Lenox Add ......................... 41.33
I, therefore, recommend your
Honorable Body to direct the City
Clerk to change the Final Sched-
ule of Assessments of the 1958
Paving, Curb & Gutter and Sani-
tary Sewer Project as described
above, and that the City Auditor
be instructed to draw a warrant
in the amount of $270.56 from the
Street Construction Fund (135J) to
pay the excess amount assessed
against the property owned by
Earl S. & Lucille C. Bisanz for the
Davis Street Bituminous Paving
Project, and a warrant in the
amount of $350,55 from the Sani-
tation Fund to adjust the correc-
tions from the City of Dubuque

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
The City of Dubuque has operat-
ed an ambulance for a number of
years with approximately two
thirds of the costs borne by taxes
and the fees taking care of the one
third casts.
I have studied various reports
on ambulance charges made by
cities over the country and find
there is a wide difference of pol-
icy on the service provided and
the charges made. Most cities do
not operate ambulance but in this
case subsidize the private ambu-
lance service by guaranteeing pay-
ment for emergency calls.
Those cities who operate city
ambulances have a variable policy
from a very small charge to $20.00
per call within the city limits.
Mast cities have their ambulances
under the fire departments and
operate them with firemen or po•
licemen.
Far calls outside the City the
charges are more than city calls
plus a mileage charge for the total
miles traveled.
In 1958 the operating cost of our
ambulance service was $11,082.05
not including depreciation or
equipment. The total charges were
$4826.00 and the collections were
$4531.00. From these figures the
collections pay 40% of the costs,
' In order that the ambulance
~ service will be self-supporting, the
'fees will have to be increased. If
the council feels this service
should be provided to Dubuque
citizens at a less than cost basis,
96 Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959
there should nevertheless be an
increase in out of city calls where
the service is provided now at the
expense of city taxpayers.
The following fee schedule
would be necessary to provide
this service without a general tax
appropriation.
City Calls-$10.00 for each trip.
Outside City Calls-$15.00 for each
trip plus .25 per mile each way.
$10.00 per hour or fraction
thereof for delays not caused by
persons operating the ambu-
lance.
If the policy of providing ambu-
lance service is to be revised
there should be consideration giv-
en to the maximum limits of trav-
el outside the city. Also on all
emergency calls to accidents out-
side the City that the county as-
sume the charges if not paid by
the individual.
I recommend that an ordinance
be drawn up and submitted to the
Council setting a new fee schedule
and establishing limits of opera-
tion outside the City.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J. SCHILTZ,
City Manager

February 6, 1959
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
We have had a considerable
number of inquiries regarding the
changing of the two hour metered
area south of West 1st Street on
Main Street to a metered and a one
hour parking area, and I have had
a study made of this area.
Many of the merchants located
on this street feel that their busi-
ness is seriously affected by the
presence of long term porkers in
front of their respective business
houses. The only active opposition
from this area in which meters
may be installed comes from the
management of the Western Gro-
eery Company, This company has
allowed their employees to park
the clay in this vicinity and has
indicated is not in favor of any
project to create a higher rate of
turnover.
In view of the above situation it
is believed that meters should be
installed along this section of Main
Street in such a manner as to
make parking spaces readily avail-
able for customers of retail stores.
Meters placed on the west side
of Main Street from the corner of
West 1st south a distance of 230
feet would provide metered park-
ing in front of Central Battery,
McGhee Store and along side of
Thompson's Tavern.
Meters placed on the east side
of Main Street from the corner
of West 1st south a distance of
360 feet would provide metered
parking in front of Western Gro-
cery, Schroeder Motor Company,
Tischhauser Motor Company, Main
Hotel, Kaiser Paint Store, Farber
Brothers and the White Front
Feed Store.
It is therefore recommended
that two hour meters be installed
on the west side of Main Street
from West 1st Street south for a
distance of 230 feet and that this
area be made a portion of the
Schedules shown in Parking Dis-
trict "C"; that two hour meters
be installed on the east side of
Main Street from West 1st Street
south for a distance of 360 feet
and that this area be made a por-
tion of the Schedules shown in
Parking District "C"; and that the
area on the east side of Main
Street, beginning at a point 360
feet south of West 1st Street and
extending to Janes Street, be made
a one hour parking zone.

Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 97

To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Dubuque, Iowa
Gentlemen:
At the conference held with the
Regional Administrator of the
Housing and Home Finance Agen-
cy and the Regional Director and
Field Representative for Urban
Renewal, the first step before be-
coming eligible for an urban re-
newal project with Federal as-
sistance is for the community to
have a Workable Program.
The purpose of this Workable
Program is to help the community
to (1) face up to its blight area,
(2) recognize what has been done
and what remains to be done and
(3) make the committments which,
when completed, will result in a
program of action which promises
success.
In order to fulfill the require•
meats of a Workable Program, the
City must commit itself in its pro-
gram to the attainment of essential
objectives with respect to;
1. Codes and ordinances
2. Comprehensive community
plan
3. Neighborhood analysis
4. Administrative organization
5. Financing
6. Housing for displaced families
7. Citizen participation
From our conference it was the
opinion that the City of Dubuque
had complied with the provisions of
a Workable Program through their
past planning practices.
I recommend that the Planning
and Zoning Commission submit a
recommended plan for Urban Re-
newal taking into consideration the
plans for the construction of the
14th Street overpass project. Also
that the City Manager request
manuals and forms necessary for a
Survey and Planning Application.

for the installing of water service,
making connections with water
mains and fixing rentals and the
collection thereof, repealing other
ordinances in conflict herewith
and providing a penalty for the
violation thereof.
This ordinance brings up to date
and repeals an ordinance adopted
in April of 1928 with the same
title. It has been thoroughly re-
viewed with the plumbing inspect-
ors, water department, city solicit-
or, plumbing supply houses and
some representative plumbers.
This ordinance provides the
regulations for the installing of
service lines from the main in the
street into the house and also for
the installation of water meters.
It also sets out the rules for the
use of water during construction
of buildings and for the testing and
inspection of meters and service
lines.
I recommend that this ordinance
be adopted to replace the ordin•
ante adopted in 1928 which is now
an obsolete ordinance.
