RE: Mechanic's Lien, Port of Dubuque Parking Facility
Dear Mr. Miller:
have received a copy of the Mechanic's Lien you filed in the Iowa District Court for
Dubuque County on March 10, 2009.
Under Iowa law, it is not permissible to file a Mechanic's Lien on publicly owned
property. The Port of Dubuque Parking Facility is owned by the City of Dubuque.
Please dismiss this Mechanic's Lien at your earliest opportunity.
The correct procedure is to file a claim with the City Clerk of the City of Dubuque under
Iowa Code chapter 573.
Very sincerely,
Barry A. Lindahl, Esq.
City Attorney
