TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2010 Wage Plan and Compensation Package for Non-
Bargaining Unit Employees and City Council Compensation Direction
DATE: February 10, 2009
Personnel Manager Randy Peck recommends that the Non-Bargaining Unit Wage Plan
for General Employee classifications and Non-assigned classifications be increased by
3.5% across-the-board effective July 1, 2009.
This increase is consistent with the wage increase to be received by the Firefighters
Association, Police Officers Association, Teamsters Union and Operating Engineers
Union bargaining units in Fiscal Year 2010, and it is also consistent with the City
Council wage guideline for Fiscal Year 2010.
This is the year for the City Council to consider what the compensation should be for the
City Council Members serving for the four years beginning after this Fall's municipal
elections. In 2004, a Compensation Task Force was appointed. You will see from a
survey conducted by City Attorney Barry Lindahl, that of the nine cities in Iowa that
responded to his survey, none of them appoint a Compensation Task Force. Five of
those nine cities provide for an annual increase based on the cost of living.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of the non-bargaining unit
compensation plan and ask for direction on the compensation for the position of Mayor
and City Council.

CITY OFFICERS
372.13 The council.
1. A majority of all council members is a quorum.
2. A vacancy in an elective city office during a term of office shall be filled, at the council's
option, by one of the two following procedures:
a. By appointment by the remaining members of the council, except that if the remaining
members do not constitute a quorum of the full membership, paragraph "b" shall be followed.
The appointment shall be for the period until the next pending election as defined in section
69.12, and shall be made within forty days after the vacancy occurs. If the council chooses to
proceed under this paragraph, it shall publish notice in the manner prescribed by section 362.3,
stating that the council intends to fill the vacancy by appointment but that the electors of the city
or ward, as the case maybe, have the right to file a petition requiring that the vacancy be filled by
a special election. The council may publish notice in advance if an elected official submits a
resignation to take effect at a future date. The council may make an appointment to fill the
vacancy after the notice is published or after the vacancy occurs, whichever is later. However, if
within fourteen days after publication of the notice or within fourteen days after the appointment
is made, there is filed with the city clerk a petition which requests a special election to fill the
vacancy, an appointment to fill the vacancy is temporary and the council shall call a special
election to fill the vacancy permanently, under paragraph "b ". The number of signatures of
eligible electors of a city for a valid petition shall be determined as follows:
(1) For a city with a population of ten thousand or less, at least two hundred signatures or at
least the number of signatures equal to fifteen percent of the voters who voted for candidates for
the office at the preceding regular election at which the office was on the ballot, whichever
number is fewer.
(2) For a city with a population of more than ten thousand but not more than fifty thousand, at
least one thousand signatures or at least the number of signatures equal to fifteen percent of the
voters who voted for candidates for the office at the preceding regular election at which the office
was on the ballot, whichever number is fewer.
(3) For a city with a population of more than fifty thousand, at least two thousand signatures or
at least the number of signatures equal to ten percent of the voters who voted for candidates for
the office at the preceding regular election at which the office was on the ballot, whichever
number is fewer.
(4) The minimum number of signatures for a valid petition pursuant to subparagraphs (1)
through (3) shall not be fewer than ten. In determining the minimum number of signatures
required, if at the last preceding election more than one position was to be filled for the office in
which the vacancy exists, the number of voters who voted for candidates for the office shall be
determined by dividing the total number of votes cast for the office by the number of seats to be
filled.
b. By a special election held to fill the office for the remaining balance of the unexpired term.
2003 Iowa Code
CD-ROM
If the council opts for a special election or a valid petition is filed under paragraph "a", the
special election may be held concurrently with any pending election as provided by section 69.12
if by so doing the vacancy will be filled not more than ninety days after it occurs. Otherwise, a
special election to fill the office shall be called at the earliest practicable date. If there are
concurrent vacancies on the council and the remaining council members do not constitute a
quorum of the full membership, a special election shall be called at the earliest practicable date.
The council shall give the county commissioner at least sixty days' written notice of the date
chosen for the special election. The council of a city where a primary election may be required
shall give the county commissioner at least eighty-five days' written notice of the date chosen for
the special election. A special election held under this subsection is subject to sections 376.4
through 376.11, but the dates for actions in relation to the special election shall be calculated
with regard to the date for which the special election is called.
3. The council shall appoint a city clerk to maintain city records and perform other duties
prescribed by state or city law.
4. Except as otherwise provided by state or city law, the council may appoint city officers and
employees, and prescribe their powers, duties, compensation, and terms. The appointment of a
city manager must be made on the basis of that individual's qualifications and not on the basis of
political affiliation.
5. The council shall determine its own rules and maintain records of its proceedings. City
records and documents, or accurate reproductions, shall be kept for at least five years except that:
a. Ordinances, resolutions, council proceedings, records and documents, or accurate
reproductions, relating to the issuance of public bonds or obligations shall be kept for at least
eleven years following the final maturity of the bonds or obligations. Thereafter, such records,
documents, and reproductions may be destroyed, preserving confidentiality as necessary.
Records and documents pertaining to the transfer of ownership of bonds shall be kept as
provided in section 76.10.
b. Ordinances, resolutions, council proceedings, records and documents, or accurate
reproductions, relating to real property transactions shall be maintained permanently.
6. Within fifteen days following a regular or special meeting of the council, the clerk shall
cause the minutes of the proceedings of the council, including the total expenditure from each
city fund, to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The publication shall
include a list of all claims allowed and a summary of all receipts and shall show the gross amount
of the claim. Matters discussed in closed session pursuant to section 21.3 shall not be published
until entered on the public minutes. However, in cities having more than one hundred fifty
thousand population the council shall each month print in pamphlet form a detailed itemized
statement of all receipts and disbursements of the city, and a summary of its proceedings during
the preceding month, and furnish copies to the city library, the daily newspapers of the city, and
to persons who apply at the office of the city clerk, and the pamphlet shall constitute publication
as required. Failure by the clerk to make publication is a simple misdemeanor. The provisions of
this subsection are applicable in cities in which a newspaper is published, or in cities of two
hundred population or over, but in all other cities, posting the statement in three public places in

subsection.
7. By ordinance, the council may divide the city into wards which shall be drawn according to
the following standazds:
a. All ward boundaries shall follow precinct boundaries.
b. Wards shall be as nearly equal as practicable to the ideal population determined by dividing
the number of wazds to be established into the population of the city.
c. Wards shall be composed of contiguous territory as compact as practicable.
d. Consideration shall not be given to the addresses of incumbent officeholders, political
affiliations of registered voters, previous election results, or demographic information other than
population head counts, except as required by the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
8. By ordinance, the council shall prescribe the compensation of the mayor, council members,
and other elected city officers, but a change in the compensation of the mayor does not become
effective during the term in which the change is adopted, and the council shall not adopt an
ordinance changing the compensation of the mayor, council members, or other elected officers
during the months of November and December in the year of a regular city election. A change in
the compensation of council members becomes effective for all council members at the
beginning of the term of the council members elected at the election next following the change in
compensation. Except as provided in section 362.5, an elected city officer is not entitled to
receive any other compensation for any other city office or city employment during that officer's
tenure in office, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred. However, if the mayor pro
tem performs the duties of the mayor during the mayor's absence or disability for a continuous
period of fifteen days or more, the mayor pro tem may be paid for that period the compensation
determined by the council, based upon the mayor pro tern's performance of the mayor's duties
and upon the compensation of the mayor.
9. A council member, during the tenor for which that member is elected, is not eligible for
appointment to any city office if the office has been created or the compensation of the office has
been increased during the term for which that member is elected. A person who resigns from an
elective office is not eligible for appointment to the same office during the time for which that
person was elected if during that time, the compensation of the office has been increased.
10. A council member, during the term for which that member is elected, is not precluded
from holding the office of chief of the volunteer fire department if the fire department serves an
area with a population of not more than two thousand, and if no other candidate who is not a city
council member is available to hold the office of chief of the volunteer fire department.
11. Council members shall be elected according to the council representation plans under
sections 372.4 and 372.5. However, the council representation plan may be changed, by petition
and election, to one of those described in this subsection. Upon receipt of a valid petition, as
defined in section 362.4, requesting a change to a council representation plan, the council shall
submit the question at a special city election to be held within sixty days. If a majority of the
persons voting at the special election approves the changed plan, it becomes effective at the
beginning of the term following the next regular city election. ff a majority does not approve the
2003 Iowa Code

changed plan, the council shall not submit another proposal to change a plan to the voters within
the next two years.

DuB E MEMORANDUM
~~-
March 2, 2005
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2006 Budget Hearing
City Council has completed departmental budget reviews involving approximately twelve
hours over six hearing dates. The hearings were televised over City Channel 8, meeting
notices have been published and posted and budget documents placed on file at the Library
and City Clerk's Office for the public to review. In addition, a copy of the Fiscal Year 2006
budget was displayed on the City website for public review.
As previously reported by Budget Director Dawn Lang, the City of Dubuque received revised
January 1, 2004 valuation totals from Denise Dolan, Dubuque County Auditor which affected
the Fiscal Year 2006 budget. The valuations were revised mainly due to the issuance of final
annexation documents by the City Development Board for the City of Dubuque.
Residential and Agricultural Residential assessed valuations increased $4,129,701 (or
$1,973,370 in taxable value) and Agricultural Land and Buildings increased $533,078 in
assessed value. This translates to $20,750 of additional property tax revenue into the FY
2006 City of Dubuque budget.
Through the budget hearings, City Council has recommended that the following items be
added to the FY 2006 recommended budget:
• Fund increased compensation for the Mayor and City Council effective January 1,
2006 as recommended by the City Council Compensation Task Force ($1,877);
• Fund hanging flower baskets on the Riverwalk in the Port of Dubuque. Purchase
of hardware and equipment for installation of the hanging flower baskets ($13,960)
and purchase of the hanging flower baskets and labor in Spring 2006 for
maintenance of hanging flower baskets ($3,713).
• ADA Symposium training for the Engineering Assistant II ($1,200).
I have provided a summary of the tax rate impact of the above items. Offset by the increased
valuation adjustment, there is no increase of property taxes for the average residential
homeowner.
Fiscal Year 2006 includes a 3.7% reduction in the property tax rate to coincide with the
application of the property values for the new City-wide reassessment process. This will
bring the City property tax rate down to $9.6991 per thousand (from $10.072 in FY 2005).
This preserves the goal of no property tax increase for the average homeowner and moves
the City of Dubuque to first place in having the lowest property tax rate of the nine largest
cities in the State of Iowa.
I have included an updated Fiscal Year 2006 City Manager Budget Transmittal memo and
various tables from the Citizen's Guide. The transmittal memo includes revised comparison
information updated with FY 06 recommended rates from other Cities when available. In
addition, I have added information regarding broadband access and community marketing to
the community issues section.
Attached to your agenda is a listing of the order of departments that City Council follows
when asking for input. The action required of City Council to finalize the Fiscal Year 2006
budget process is to hold the public hearing, consider public input and act on the attached
resolutions, which provide for adoption of the recommended budget as amended and the five
year capital improvement program
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council adoption of the Fiscal Year 2006 budget
with these amendments.
