HIGHLIGHTS OF PRIOR YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Pro Q/A Medical Pdodty
In August after several years of trying to have the pre-arrival medical questions integrated with
our computer aided dispatch software; (CAD).the task was accomplished. Pro Q/A excels as an
aid to emergency medical dispatching, providing expert caller interrogation, easy access to
additional information, as welt as on line quality assurance and improvement.
Ten dispatchers Currently certified on the medical program have completed their re-certificaton.
Re-cer[ification consists of 20 hours of education and a pass//fail qualifying test. Renewal is
required every two years.
Dr Jilt Hunt (Finley Hospital} our medical advisor comes on site to audit medical calls that are
handled by the dispatchers on a monthly basis. These calls are picked from a random sampling
of the previous months medical calls. In past years an in house dispatcher did this onty
quartedy.
Training Program
The current training program was reviewed to see if the time between when a dispatcher was
hired to when they could actually be put at a workstation handling non-emergency calls could be
condensed. Lead Dispatcher Joe Young complied a training book complete with materials and
check off lists needed to train a new dispatcher The program starts out with six-weeks of
intensive training and then introduces different elements of dispatching over a six-month pedod.
The program has been used in the orientation of three new dispatchers.
911 Tapes for Court Purposes
Over the last fiscal year the Center processed 509 domestic calls for servi(~e. Of those calls
225 ended in court proceedings. Copies of 911 tapes are requested by the County Attorney's
office to provide foundation for the case. All cases that go to court are accompied with a copy of
the initial 911 call. Tapes are also requested for the processing of operating while intox.
burglaries, and variety of other categones. Defense lawyers as well as the public will submit a
request for 911 tapes to resolve cases before they go into court.

Weather Activities
This spring brought severe weather to Dubuque County. On June 4~" the Center process 410
calls for service in a 24-hour period. Most of those calls were weather related incidents. Extra
staff was on hand to handle the large call volume. Calls ranged from water in basements, tree
limbs on roadways, and people needing insurance that their safe~y was not at risk.
v~r~reless Calls
All calls made to 911 from a wireless devise in Dubuque County are now terminating at the
Dubuque Center. Current information gives the dispatcher a call back number to the subscriber
and the tower site location that the call is being transmitted from. The dispatchers are making a
ring back to the caller when calls are received with no voice acknowledgement. A programming
feature that dials 911 when a specific button is activated gederates these calls. The call back
vedfies that there is no need of assistance as well as instructing the caller to lock their keyboard
to avoid future mis-dials.
Criminal Justice Information Group
This group was formed to provide communication between taw enforcement, county attorney's
office, judges, clerks, probation department, and victim advocates. The 911 Center is active in
this group because of the responsibility they have for entering warrants domestic abuse orders,
and the sexual offender file.
Threat Assessment Team
The team is made up of city/county departments, private businesses, and corporate partners to
ensure that appropriate steps are taken to address safety concems. Quarterly meetings have
been held since the tragedy of September 11th. Meeting agenda's combine information sharing
with up to date training for our area.
Iowa 911 Council
The Iowa 911 Council meets monthly to coordinate the development of 911 systems across the
State and to prepare for the impact that the wireless industry will have on the operation of 911
Centers. This year the Council and State Department of Emergency Management are working
together to bring Chapter 34A (bills deals with 911 service throughout the State) in step with the
present 911 environment and to provide a future path plan for 911 in Iowa.
Trainin,q
The Center was able to take advantage of over 500 hours in training this year. Two new
dispatchers have attended the "Basic Telecommunicator Training" and IOWA/NClC certification.
All dispatchers attended training in Rapid Deployment: Call handling for Domestic Abuse Cases,
and Weapons of Mass Destruction. In addition five dispatchers attended training in Madison
Wisconsin, and an additional four dispatchers travel to Des Moines for telecommunicator
training.

FUTURE INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2003 AND 2004:
Replacement of Bur.qiadFire Alarm Board
The alarm board monitors all burglar and fire alarms that terminate in the Communication
Center. This equipment needs to be updated to a digital receiving board. Over the last year
different sites were visited to evaluate different systems. An RFP should be completed early in
2003.
Computer Interfaces
An interface with our CAD software and GIS will provide the dispatcher with a geographical
location on any call received in the Communication Center. This in' provement will provide for a
faster and more exact location to be given to the responding agencies.
Other interfaces yet to be completed with the Emergi-Tech project are Fire. TRACS. and
Printrac.
Law Center Expansion
W~th the completion of the new jail in spring of 2003 offices will be relocated that will allow for
additional expansion in the Communication Center. The diagonal wall currently separating the
manager' office from the dispatch work area will ~e removed to accommodate for more
separation between the workstations. Two of the four workstations will have a lift mechanism
installed to allow for a dispatcher to stand up while he/she is dispatching. At the same time new
radio consoles will be installed.

Decision Package
I of 3
This decision package increases a part time Dispatcher to full time. This would support the
twenty hours per week currently not covered by staffing three dispatch positions from 8:00 a.m.
to 3:00 a.m. Sunday through Saturday. The County would provide 1/3 funding of the position.
This would improve stability of the work force and help address the increasing number of
w~reless calls received by the Center for any,given incident. The call volume has increased
2,547 calls since the last time hours were added to the Center budget.

The figures that are generated for the Ped'ormance Measures are calculated by the record
keeping system known as CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch). A CAD record records all times
throughout the call for historical data purposes. As a call taker is collecting information from the
caller and entering it into CAD, another dispatcher may be dispatching the call [o the designated
units to begin their response. The receipt of an emergency call to the dispatch of the same call
therefore could show a longer queue time in CAD when actually the units were being dispatched
and on their way.

Bill Collection Services expense has been decreased from $67 000 to $60,000 based on
the current agreement and actual FY 2002 expense of $55,914.
Legal notices and ad expense of $10,715 in FY 2002 covered the cost of advertising for
entrance exams and civil service testing. This is an every other year expense and is
budgeted in FY 2004 for $10,000.
Software license expense of $1,170 covers the licensing of the Firehouse Software
package.
General Liability expense is going from $23,200 to $63,129. Citywide General Liability
expense is not increasing, however, it is being redistributed Citywide between cost
centers based on a more equitable formula in relation to exposure and cost.
Significant revenue changes include $150,000 being generated by the Fire Department
marketing their confined rescue services outside the City limits. These services include
standby, rescue and training and are based on a minimum contract amount per facility
plus a fiat charge per confined space hole.
An increase in ambulance revenues is also proposed (see attached letter) which will
generate an additional $104,500.

Memorandum
December 2~ 2002
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: E. Daniel Brown, Fire Chief
Prepared By: Ric Jones. Fire Department Emergency Medical Services Supervisor
SUBJECT: Ambulance Fee Recommendations
I am recommending that we adjust ambulance fees as indicated below.
This adjustment should bring in an additional $11,500.00 from Medicare,
approximately $ 90,000.00 in non-Medicare payments and an additional
$ 7,000.00 in surcharge for non-residents. This totals to $108,500.00 in new
dollars.
I further recommend that we waive Medicare co-pay and deductible fees
that are not covered by a secondary insurance plan for all city residents. This will
reduce the new revenue by an estimated $ 4,000. 00. Our billing costs will go
down incrementally by not billing the co-pays and deductibles. This provides a
net gain of $104,500.00.
Lastly, I recommend that we implement the new fee schedule reasonably
soon. There will be a lag time of up to 120 days as payers adjust to our new
rates. We should be bug-free and able to solidly predict an increase of
approximately $104,500.00 in fiscal year 2004 and each year after that. If we
have the new fees in place on March 1, 2003, for instance, we could anticipate
revenue growth of nearly $ 20,000.00 for the last four months of this fiscal year.
The new rates I am recommending are:
Resident Non-Resident
BLS Base Rate $ 400.00 $ 550.00
ALS 1 Base Rate $ 500.00 $ 650.00
ALS 2 Base Rate $ 650.00 $ 800.00
On Scene Care BLS $ 75.00 $ 225.00
On Scene Care ALS $150.00 $ 300.00
Oxygen Administration $ 35.00 $ 35.00
Spinal Immobilization $ 75.00 $ 75.00

was 1995.

the details of this recommendation.

HIGHLIGHTS OF PRIOR YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
The City of Dubuque continues to be a safe community. The 2001 Uniform Crime Report (UCR)
reports a national rate of violent crime of 504.4 per 100,000 residents; this figure marked a 0.4-
percent decrease from the 2000 rate. Iowa statistics show a rate of 269.1 violent crimes per
100,000 residents, up from 266.4 (+1%). The rate for the City of Dubuque shows a decrease of
13% percent in the violent crime rate. Crimes included in the violent cdme rate'include murder,
rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
Maior Cases
Between 08/13/01 and 10/14/01 Dubuque Police and Dubuque Fire Department responded to nine
actual and attempted arsons in the north end area of the city. Through the combined efforts of both
departments, arrests were made of four white males, two juveniles and two adults. Of those
arrested, two were charged with two counts of arson in the second degree and two were charged
with four counts of second-degree arson.
On 11/13/01 officers responded to the Grandview and Delhi branch of the Dubuque Bank & Trust to
investigate an armed robbery. Dudng the investigation it was determined two persons were
involved in the robbery. As a result, a 17-year old white male was arrested for 2nd degree robbery in
addition to a 23-year old white female for aiding and abetting in the robbery by providing

theft and carrying a concealed weapon. The 23-year old white female pleads to 1st degree theft
from a person.
Dudng the evening of 12/12/01 officers responded to the 1400 block of Central to investigate a
reported shooting. Upon ardval officers found two male subjects dead on the sidewalk suffedng
from gun shot wounds. The investigation determined the incident a murder/suicide stemming from a
domestic situation. Killed dudng the incident was a 21-year old white male by a 20-year old white

body trauma and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The victim died a short time later
from the injuries. The investigation determined the victim suffered injuries while involved in a fight
earlier in the morning. A 20-year old white male was arrested, charged with 1~t degree murder and

Drug Task Force
During FY02, the Dubuque County Drug Task Force filed 142 narcotic violations involving 87
persons. Illegal drugs seized include 1,024.73 grams of crack cocaine, 662.81 grams of powder
-60-
cocaine, 204.42 grams methamphetamine and 2,983.99 grams or 106.57 pounds of marijuana.
The Drug Task Force responded to eight active methamphetamine drug ~abs and 30
methamphetamine dump sites. Additionally, the Drug Task Force conducted numerous
educational talks to community and business members regarding the illegal drug trade and the
signs of possible methamphetamine manufacturing.
Accreditation
The Dubuque Police Department is an accredited law enforcement agency. On July 28, 2001
the department received its second reaccredidation from the Commission on Accreditation For
Law Enforcement Agencies. Accreditation is a voluntary program and represents the
department's ongoing commitment to continue the quest for professional excellence by meeting
and exceeding the mandatory standards for professional Jaw enforcement
Work Schedule Study
During the fail of 2001 a work group, consisting of police management and union worked
cooperatively to review and assess our current patrol schedule. As a result of these
conversations and reseamh, a new 10-hour patrol schedule was proposed for implementation.
The new schedule consists of a 40-hour workweek (four 10-hour days, three days off) compared
to an eight-hour, five-day workweek. The extension of the workday allows for the overlap of
officers during higher calls for service and critical periods of the day. The new schedule was
launched on October 8, 2002 and is currently under a six-month review process to measure
efficiency and effectiveness.
Community Oriented Policing
Community oriented policing has become a mainstay to police operations. By having
Community Policing Officers available to patrol services, their efforts enhance patrol and
investigation operations to address ongoing concerns creating consistent methods of
communication for effective and efficient police response. Currently, the department has four
officers dedicated to Community Policing meeting regularly with neighborhood groups.
The Community Policing Officers coordinate the city's internal working group consisting of other
departments to comprehensively address citizen and neighborhood concerns. Issues
addressed by the internal working group have included vicious dogs, trash and garbage,
nuisance violations, festival planning and others, all focused toward maintaining and improving
the quaJity of life for the citizens of Dubuque.
Rapid Deployment Initiative
Rapid Deployment is a new response tactic used by street officers as they arrive at the scene of
an active shooter. Rapid Deployment allows officers to immediately engage the active shooter
to prevent further ongoing violence and injury. Rapid Deployment is typically employed at
schools, businesses, industry, and other large structures containing long hallways and corridors,
occupied by large numbers of potential victims. The initial Rapid Deployment team consists of
four officers who advance toward the active shooter in a specialized formation.
The Rapid DeploYment initiative continues to work closely with the Dubuque Community School
District, Holy Family Catholic Schools and Western Dubuque School Distdct through the
Dubuque Sheriff's Office to ensure rapid response and quick identification of locations and
suspicious activity. Ongoing training for the police department and school personnel has been
developed and distributed.

Community Action Academy
As part of a community-wide effort to strengthen and celebrate diversity through the creation
and development of new welcoming capabilities, a new grassroots organization, Dubuque's
Everyone's Neighborhood, was initiated in January 2001. Dubuque's Everyone's Neighborhood
brings together a community coalition of business, industry, city, school, and civic groups to
develop and nurture ways to enhance the quality of life in the community. One result was the
formation of the Community Action Academy chaired by the Police Chief.
The Community Action Academy provides a 9-week program for newcomers to the community
to learn first-hand and hands-on what the community has to offer and highlights the
community's rich heritage. From its inception, the Community Action Academy has held one
10-week and two 9-week sessions with the last graduating October 24, 2002 with 23 members
for a total of 59.
Citizen Police Academy
The sixth session of the Citizen Police Academy was held February 6, 2002 through May 1,
2002, with 25 participants. The Citizen Police Academy has now graduated 171 community
members from the program. The seventh Academy class is currently being planned for 2003.
Through the class sessions, participants interact with various officers and experience how a
police officer is trained and performs their function. Many graduates have continued their
involvement with the department by joining the Dubuque Police Auxiliary.
School Resource Officers
Through the U.S. Department of Justice COPS program, the department in partnership with the
Dubuque Community Schools funds two School Resource Officers to work daily with the
Dubuque Community School District. With the addition of these two officers, the department
has three full-time officers dedicated to K-12 education in the school district. The addition of
these officers continues to strengthen our school presence creating a safer and more secure
learning environment for our youth.
Traffic Safety
Our efforts to provide an effective traffic safety programming were enhanced through the
Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau when a traffic safety grant was awarded funding one full-time
traffic safety officer. This effort helped to expand our traffic safety focus on prevention,
intervention and enforcement activities. Additionally, we continue to partner with other health
care providers to establish a monthly child safety seat inspection station to educate and provide
correct child safety seats to motorists. Currently, our efforts have helped to achieve an 85%+
seat belt compliance rate.
Additionally, our traffic safety effort expanded through the use of a new Speed Monitor Trailer.
The Speed Monitor increased traffic safety visibility and heightened motorist awareness. With
the ability to record speed data related to time of day, vehicles per hour, and average speeds,
the Speed Monitor has proven to be an excellent statistical resource in providing educational
and selective enforcement initiatives.
Mental Health Initiative
The police department has partnered with a number of helping agencies to focus attention and
action toward the development of a jail diversion program to assist those suffering from mental
illness. Core members include: The Dubuque Shedff's Office, Iowa Department of Corrections,
Dubuque County Mental Health Association, Gannon Center, Substance Abuse Services
Center, Mercy Hospital, Dubuque Public Defender's Office, Dubuque County Court Services,
-62-
Dubuque County, Dubuque County Board of Supervisors, and Loras College. As a result, a
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant was awarded to Dubuque
County totaling $899,889 (with $299,963 awarded eachr year).
The grant, only one of ten awarded in the country, provides for the development of a jail
diversion program in the county and city. The program provides alternatives to incarceration for
persons with substance abuse and mental health disorders. The program is specialized and will
implement trained mental health intervention teams to remove non-violent mentally ill persons
from the criminal justice system and direct them to a community setting for treatment.
Canine
Through the efforts of the Dubuque County Drug Task Force Contrel Group and the City of
Dubuque, our canine unit continues to be a valuable tool for the detection and apprehension of
criminal suspects. Trained in tracking, narcotic detection and building searches, the canine unit
provides a vital resource to locate lost or missing persons, combat illegal drug trafficking and
provide additional safety measures for street officers
Threat Assessment Team
The events of September 11, 2001 are a national tragedy. The events of that day tested local
response and the ability to create an atmosphere of safety and awareness for our citizens. The
department continues to work in unison with other city departments and private, business, and
corporate partners to ensure appropriate steps were taken to address safety concerns.
Through the establishment of a local Threat Assessment Team, we have conducted quarterly
stakeholders meetings to share information and training to better equip our efforts to respond to
critical incidences. One recent illustration was a three-day Public Works training conducted in
August 2002 at Five Flags with invitees from city, private, and government entities. The training
provided up-to-date information regarding threat assessment and practical exercises to enhance
our community response to critical incidences. These ongoing meetings increase formal and
informal communication networks while building rapport and critical partnerships.
FUTURE INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2003 AND 2004:
The department continues to prepare for the expansion of the Dubuque Law Enforcement
Center allowing for additional space for police patrol and investigation operations. The
expansion is to be completed by early spring 2003.
The department continues to conduct periodic compliance checks of licensed establishments
selling tobacco and alcohol This is a combined effort involving agencies on the state and local
level.
With the events of September 11, 2001, the department remains committed to the innovation
and assessment of resources to meet the new Challenges of homeland defense and ensure alt
prudent safety measures are evaluated and enhanced.
The department along with other helping agencies continues to move forward with the
development of a mental health initiative. The initiative strengthens intervention skills for
officers when handling individuals suffedng from mental illness.

This decision package provides for training of a second polygraph examiner and offers an
additional opportunity for line officer development and career enhancement. One officer, who
was trained as a polygraph examiner, was promoted and there is a need to train a second
officer. Because polygraph examinations occur many times at the convenience of the other
parties, rescheduling of shift hours for the Lieutenant remains necessary and adds to shift
supervision distractions and scheduling concerns. This will allow the department to double the
current level of examinations by up to 100 while reducing the reliance on the shift Lieutenant.

HIGHLIGHTS OF PRIOR YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Information Services
FY02 Accomplishments
1. Replacement of pemonal computers, servers and printers throughout the City.
During FY02, Information Services staff specified, recommended, purchased, installed
and configured approximately sixty-six personal computers. Computers replaced were
those that were at least five years old.
2. Installation and Upgrade of Servers.
Dudng FY02, Information Services staff with assistance from network service providers'
installed 2 new netware servers and performed major upgrades on 18 servers to be
consistent with the current technology.
Continuing support for DLEC.
Information Services staff continues the role of providing support for automated systems
at the Dubuque Law Enforcement Agency. Staff is providing systems administration,
network and operations support for all end-users at DLEC. Staff participates in a City-
County groups to discuss the present sYstems installed at DLEC as well as to discuss
future options for automated systems. Staff provided training for basic Windows
operation along with GIS to County and City staff during FY02.
4. GIS
During fiscal year 2002, data conversion of the Water Utility was completed. Data
conversion was being performed externally by ASI Corporation from Waukesha, WI.
Data preparation and quality control was performed internally by the Water Distribution
Department. All data converted was required to meet 99 percent accuracy of converted
features. The water layers converted included hydrants, fittings, valves, mains, sleeves
and service connections. Scans have also been done on all taps slips, hydrant cards,
valve cards, as-builts and atlas pages. An application to retrieve the scans within a
mapping project has been written.
Work continues in the Engineering and Planning Departments to bring all data up to a
current state and continue maintenance on a regular schedule. All total, the database
will encompasses 27 graphical coverages of various detail, along with an extensive array
of text data.
-106-
Information Services staff has assisted extensively with training, project and conversion
management, installation and maintenance of hardware and software, and budget
preparation.
Departments added as GIS users in FY02 included Police, Economic Development,
Health and Building.
5. Wide Area Network
Networking to remotely located sites will be accommodated by the fiber optics backbone
installed over the next two years. The first phase of the network connecting City Hall
Annex, City Hail, Fire Headquarters and the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center was
completed in July 1998. A wireless connection to the Water Distribution facility at 505
Adams and to Operations and Maintenance on Kerper was completed as part of this
request as well.
Installation of new broadband modems serving Fire Stations and Housing Services was
completed in 1999. These modems provide access to network resources and use will
expand as training is done for these users. Much work is necessary to fine tune and
trouble shoot the modems.
The second phase of this project was completed in FY 00. This continued the
connection from the Law Center to the Parking Ramps and Carnegie Stout Public
Library. Much ofthe underground work was greatly assisted by "piggy backing" on
construction projects in the downtown area.
During fiscal year 2001 a fiber optic link connecting the new parking ramp, Harbor View
and Five Flags Civic Center to the existing fiber optic backbone was completed. This
connectivity allows for use of the City's fiber for telephone and data to Five Flags and
data connectivity to Harbor View for support of Greater Dubuque Development
Corporation.
During FY02 fiber optic cable was run to the Fourth Street parking ramp the fiber will
support card key and telephone for this facility. Fiber was also completed from Carnegie
Stout Public Library to City Hall Annex and removed from an area of construction at the
Jail expansion site. Upon completion of the Jail, fiber will be re-run to the DLEC and the
new Jail. With this fiber in place the City will have completed a fully redundant loop of
fiber optic cable serving all of the "downtown" City facilities.
6, Continuing Support and Trouble Shooting
Staff continues to offer daily support to end-users in the areas of software problem
determination, debugging, hardware maintenance and repair and procedural problem
solving. As more end-users are added, this area of support has grown.
7. Standardization of Desktop Computers
In FY02 Information Services staff lead a standardization task fome consisting of end-
users and IS staff. The goal of this group is to implement standard policies and
procedures for all users of technology in the City. The standards will result in a more
secure and maintainable computing environment for all users throughout the City.
-107-
8. Support of Greater Dubuque Development Corporation
Staff continues to provide support for end-users at Greater Dubuque Development
Corporation. This site utilizes a local area network, extensive Internet access, complex
presentations and work with a variety of software packages. Work has ihcluded
consistent review and evaluation of their current system, recommendation for system
(hardware, software and network) upgrades and changes. Staff serves as a resource for
trouble shooting problems and software questions. Staff assisted in FY01 with the
physical move of GDDC to their new site as well as provided technical assistance in the
evaluation of their structured wiring and network electronics needs at their new location.
9. Continuing system of backups, virus detection and inoculation and off-site storage.
Staff continues in the role of steward for all data maintained on the central servers by
maintaining a system of regular backups and off-site storage. Staff also has taken a
proactive role in obtaining up-to-date virus detection and inoculation software and
implementing it on personal computers throughout the City. Efforts continue to educate
end-users on steps to be taken in order to prevent infection from virus.
10. Permit Tracking
During FY 02 staff continued worked with users of Permit Tracking in Planning, Building,
City Clerk and Engineering departments on the implementation of enhanced reporting
and functionality to the permit tracking system. Software from Accela has been installed.
Staff assisted with the implementation of changes and continues in the role of systems
administration. The City has utilized Permit Tracking since February of 2001.
Web Site Development
During FY01, Information Services lead a team of employees to complete the selection
of a vendor for Web Site development. Woodward Internet Solutions was chosen to
implement the '~template-based' web site. Information Services provides support to end-
users as they work with the web site. The Web Site Task Force continues to work with
user departments and ~he web site developer in determining future web site needs.
12. Council Laptops
During FY01, Information Services assisted in the implementation and setup of laptops
for the Dubuque City Council to use with a paperless agenda: Staff supports council
with regular updates to PC's, training sessions and hetp desk response.
13. Training
During FY02, Information Services coordinated the training of approximately 80 County
sheriff's department end users in classes for Beginning Windows and computer use.

training. Beginning and advanced GIS Training (ArcView) was conducted for 20 City
employees using the University of Dubuque Computer Lab in coordination with
Cartegraph Systems and Patrick Engineering. Patrick Engineering also conducted a
three day GIS training session in Arc 8 for Water Distribution and Information Services
staff.
-108-
14. On-Call
During FY01, Information Services instituted off-hours computer assistance. This
service is available evenings, weekends and most holidays and is staffed on a rotating
basis. In FY02, staff began expanding the departments it offers the after-hours on-call
services to.
Complaint Tracking
During FY02, Information Services began working with a pilot group of end-users and
Woodward Internet Solutions to implement a web-based complaintJcitizen inquiry
system. It is antiCipated the system will be fully implemented by the pilot group by 01-03
and other departments as the year progresses.
16. Network Support
Beginning in FY02, Information Services began a monthly schedule of network downtime
for troubleshooting and preventative maintenance on all servers and network equipment.
This time allows for updates and work that keeps equipment on current levels of
software and testing that cannot be done while end-users are utilizing the equipment.
During the network support time, end-users are encouraged to perform regular
maintenance tasks on their individual pc's and printers.
FUTURE INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2003 AND 2004:
IS staff will continue to offer systems, development, network and database administration
for the Geographic Information System. IS staff members will work with individua]
departments and work groups as projects are designed and developed. IS will maintain a
leadership role in the project insuring its momentum and implementation for the City. It is
anticipated for FY04 to perform significant-upgrades in the software and database
technology used for GIS. Training will be offered to departments to learn the new
functionality of the software.
IS will continue implementation of high-speed data communications (wired and wireless) to
City facilities. In the current fiscal year, connection to remotely located departments is
scheduled along with connection to sites at the Port of Dubuque.
IS will continue fine-tuning, report writing and troubleshooting all legacy application
software. IS will perform the installation of enhancements as they are needed. IN FY03
the IS department in conjunction with the Finance Department will begin studying the
alternatives for update or replacement of the existing Financial software.
IS will continue to provide a stewardship role, in determining a responsible implementation
and use of all of the City's networks and computer resources. IS staff wilt continue to work
towards standardizing the end-user's desktop to provide for the most functionality to the
user while not compromising the maintainability of the system.

administration of desktop computers. It is the intent of Information services to utilize a
"service ticketing" system in FY03 to better track calls from users and respond more
effectively.
IS staff will continue to work with departments in FY 03 and beyond on development of an
Action P~ans for Technology. This activity will work with departments in applying a
visioning process to determine where technology can assist their operation. This provides
a better "road map~ for individual departments as well as looks at each area and how they
fit into an organizational "road map."
IS staff will continue to pursue opportunities for outsourcing some of our services where
applicable.
Staff will work with specifying sol, rare, hardware and data communications to meet the
needs of the convention center.

Significant Line Items
Information Services uses a recharging system for non-legacy end users for network
installation, PC set-up, maintenance, trouble-shooting and repair charges. Maintenance
contract amounts have appeared in users departments who have opted to sign service
agreements with Information Services since fiscal year 2000. Specialized services
revenue related to these contracts is increasing from $69,972 to $93,656 due to
increases in the Novell Licensing charges have increased from 0.00 in FY03 to $27,935
in FY04. This is a corporate change among most of the major software vendors to
license their products per user and on an annual basis if an organization wishes to
receive support, patches and upgrades.
-113-
A portion of the network specialists time (1.15 full time equivalents) was charged to the
Cable TV fund beginning in FY 2003. This has been continued for FY 2004.
Miscellaneous revenue generated from programming and systems support recharges is
going from $81,790 to $92,587 and revenue from operator, supplies and maintenance
recharges is going from $46,308 to $81,297.
The personnel complement remains the same as fiscal year 2003.
The Software License expense includes: Arcview and Arcinfo ($12,098), Informix
($11,118), IBM AIX ($1,856), Novell ($27,935) and other ($2,901). The increase over
FY 2003 is $27,031 and is due primarily to the Novell licenses of $27,935.
Machinery and Equipment Maintenance includes $14,099 for the IBM maintenance
agreement for the Pentamation server and peripherals, $24,000 for fiber optic network
maintenance, $30,000 for network services and $1,514 for the burster and decollator.
The increase over FY 2003 is $30,392, which is due pdmadly to an increase in the
network services from $3,772 to $30,000.

The following graph depicts the Three Year Projected Work Plan in semiannual increments
developed for the Information Services Department. Although this list of applications is not
all encompassing as to future applications, which will be peri'ormed within the next three
years, it is considered to be the primary direction, which the City will explore. The priority of
these applications will be based primarily on the recognized need by the various
departments throughout the City and their relationships to one another. It is recognized that
flexibility must be maintained both within the described applications and also those
applications yet to be defined which might take priodty because of management needs and
requirements. This chart also demonstrates the impact of microcomputers on staff
workload/assignments and our attempt to coordinate the growth and development of all
applications.

HIGHLIGHTS OF PRIOR YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Buildinq Construction and Permit Activity
The Building Services Department issued 1,338 building permits in Fiscal Year 2002,
representing a total value of $115,398,188; a decrease of 110 permits and an increase of
$43,325,045 in valuation from Fiscal Year 2001.
The trend in the number of permits for new dwelling units shows an improvement over previous
years. A total of 165 new dwelling units were added in Fiscal Year 2002. In Fiscal Year 2001
123 dwelling units were added. In Fiscal Years 2000 and 1999, 49 and 70 dwelling units were
added, respectively.
There were 30 new non-residential permits issued in Fiscal Year 2002. This is up from the 17
new buildings in Fiscal Year 2001 and a new record. The previous record was 29 in Fiscal Year
2000. The valuation of new non-residential permits was $49.6 million, up from $24.8 million in
Fiscal Year 2001. This valuation is also a new record.
Plumbing, mechanical and electrical permits issued for Fiscal Year 2002 were 1,984, an
increase of 314 from Fiscal Year 2001.
City Hall Annex

Dudng the Fall of 2002, Conference Room 3 was equipped with new furniture and audiovisual
equipment. New carpeting was installed in all three City Hall Annex conference rooms, and
additional sound insulation was applied beneath the carpeting and floor structure of Conference
Room 1.
Roof & Gutter Replacement Project
The main roof on the City Hall Annex building was replaced in the Fall and early Winter of 2002,
including the addition of insulation, replacement and updating of gutters and downspouts,
updating of the underground drainage system, and installation of an electric ice melting system.
Security
The City Hall Annex building was the subject of multiple detailed security inspections early in
caJendar year 2002. A number of building locking systems have been upgraded, operational
procedures tightened, and additional protections against unauthorized intrusion are in progress.

Generator Maintenance Contract
Following expiration of the warranty and a year of a la carte maintenance and repair, the
emergency back-up power generator serving the annex was placed on an annual maintenance
contract.
FUTURE INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2002 AND 2003:
Department Technology
Laptop computers for field inspectors were purchased in 2002. Software for communication of
the laptops to the permit tracking system will be purchased in Fiscal Year 2003.
Department Training Program
The department has begun the transition to Combination Inspectors with one inspector receiving
the certification to date. Inspectors continue to attend training sessions and use study aids with
this goal in mind.
Operation and Program Review
Review of the Building Services Department will begin in Fiscal Year 2003.
City Hall Annex
(This activity is the responsibility of Cable Franchise Administrator Merdll Crawford)
A small roof overhang addition is being considered for the accessible entrance on 13t~ Street, to
shelter persons approaching that door. Evaluation of the structural integrity and repair of the
exterior surface of the front entrance canopy is planned for the summer of 2003.
The impact of the new roof and insulation system on the heating and cooling of the building,
particularly on the second floor, will be studied during calendar year 2003, with consideration of
appropriate further adjustment or redesign of second floor HVAC systems.

Significant Line Items
The budget recommendation provides for an increase in inspection fees for non-
residential projects. Current building fees were put in effect on March 15, 1993, and
were based on the 1982 edition of the Uniform Building Code.
Personnel complement changes reflect a change made in the previous year to upgrade
all inspectors to the Inspector II level through training/certification programs.
Miscellaneous Services of $4,000 covers plan check fees for outside assistance and has
related revenue of $10,000. The revenue covers plan checks completed in-house as
welt as those that are sent out.
The maintenance level budget, is 95% self-supporting compared to the revenue
guideline of 94%.

MEMORANDUM
December 18, 2002
TO:
FROM:
RE:
Michael Van Miliigen, City Manager
Pauline Joyce, Administrative Services Manager
Rich Russell, Building Services Manager ~Y~,''~'
Building Services Department Budget
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this memo is to advise you of my
recommendations for changes to permit fees needed to maintain department
funding at 94% of department expenses.
DISCUSSION: The focus of my approach to raising additional revenue focused
on building permit fees for non-residential projects. I did this because the current
building permit fees were put into effect on March 15, 1993 and roughly based
upon the fees in the 1982 edition of the Uniform Building Code.
I conducted a survey of the nine largest cities in Iowa on the cost of building
permits. The purpose of the survey of fees was to determine if the City of
Dubuque's permit fees could be raised in order to accomplish the 94% funding
goal of the department budget.
The cities surveyed included Ames, Cedar Rapids. Davenport, Des Moines,
Dubuque, Iowa City, Sioux City and Waterloo. The following table displays the
fees for sample projects of $100,000 and $500,000 in valuation and the
incremental cost of each additional $1,000 above $500,000:
-134--

DAVEN PORT $433.00 $1433.00 $2.50
DUBUQUE $461.20 $t 541.20 $2.70
AMES $467.00 $1519,00 $2,23
SIOUX CITY $476.00 $1476.00 $'1,70
COUNCIL BLUFFS $497.00 $1617.00 $2.38
DES MOINES $5'19.75 $'1619.00 $1.65
IOWA CITY $660.00 $2330.00 $3.00
CEDAR RAPIDS $896.00 $2855.30 $4.20
WATERLOO $946.00 $3046.00 $4,38
AVERAGE $595,1 '1 $'1937.36 $2.75
PROPOSED $590.00 $'1900.00 $2.75
Recognizing that affordable owner-occupied housing is a City Council priority, the
proposed fee changes would not apply to residential building projects. These
fees would remain the same. The City of Cedar Rapids has a split fee schedule
that charges a larger fee for commercial and industrial projects.
BUDGET IMPACT: The Building Services Department collected $180,665.20 in
building permit fees on 221 commercial and industrial projects with a total
valuation of $82,908,083 in Fiscal Year Ending 2002.
Assuming that each project had an "average" valuation of $375,000, the increase
in fees collected would be approximately $117,000. This additional revenue will
be adequate to pay forthe Improvement Package that provides for additional
inspections software. If we see a few projects with valuations over $1,000,000
and a few projects with a valuation of $100,000 instead of 20 projects with a
valuation of $375,000, the revenue will be more in line with the additional
$47,000 needed for the improvement package.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the building permit fee schedule be
amended to reflect the proposed fees shown in the above table,

Water Pollution Control Plant
Paul J. Horsfall, Manager
HIGHLIGHTS OF PRIOR YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
Construction of the Catfish Creek Lift Station was completed during May 2001. The upgrade
added approximately 25% more capacity to the lift station capability, and increased the electrical
efficiency through the use of variable frequency drives. Through May of 2002 we experienced
many failures of the drives; drive components and software glitches. We worked with the drive
manufacturer, software programmers, and engineers to correct problems with the reliability of
the station.
One new stainless steel grease day tank was installed during September of 2002.
New rubber membrane roofs were installed on the Oxygen Plant Building; Final Pump Station
Building and a section of the Administration Building is scheduled for late fall 2002.
The Water Pollution Control Plant received a Title V Clean Air Permit dudng July of 2001. The
length of the permit is for 5 years. The first report for Annual Compliance was reported to the
State of Iowa DNR during March of 2002 and the first Semi Annual Report of Compliance was
reported during September of 2002. These are new reports that must be reported annually and
semi annually each year.
During February 2002 a preliminary report on Cedar Street Lift Station was received from
Stanley Consultants with a proposed cost of $900,000. The pumping capacity was evaluated
due to flow reductions as a result of the elimination of the packing facility and evaluation of the
conversion of the 2300 volt electrical service to 480V; and application of architectural treatments
to the brick superstructure to improve appearance and better conform to neighboring buildings.
A new pump was purchased for the Terminal Street Eift Station and one of the existing pumps
was rebuilt to save approximately $80,000 in pump costs.
(2) Two new lift stations were started during FY2003. They are 1; Lake Ridge Drive just off
Stadite Drive and 2; Asbury Plaza serving Asbury Plaza Shopping Center.
LABORATORY ISSUES
The Water Pollution Control Plant's Laboratory again was recertified under EPA/IDNR
Certification Rules for Water and Wastewater parameters.
-158-
The Water Pollution Control Plant's Laboratory continued a partnership with the University of
Dubuque's Environmental Science Program to monitor the Catfish Creek Water Shed and set
up parameters for testing the water sheds in the Dubuque area.
The laboratory and the Iowa DNR set up electronic transfer of reports for the City of Dubuque's
Water Quality Operation Reports,
FUTURE INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEARS 2003 AND 2004:
PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
Preliminary engineering and course of action for the Cedar Street Lift Station and Dog
Track Lift Station was received late February 2002 and engineering for actual design
modifications is expected late FY2003 and construction started in late FY2003 and eady 2004.
Modifications to, and replacement computer and software systems for the Water Pollution
Control Plant's S.C.A.D.A. is expected to start late 2003 with completion in FY2004. It is
anticipated that the (3) three major lift stations will be monitored with inputs to the plant
S.C.A.D.A. System via wireless or cell phone technology.
New control gates for the Oxygen Plant will be installed late FY2003 and eady FY2004 to assist
in sealing the Oxygen Plant aeration basins.
Fence improvements and landscaping to the east side of the Water Pollution Control Plant is
expected to take place during late FY2003 and early FY2004, to coincide with the opening of
the new girl's softball complex.
LABORATORY ISSUES
The (3) three remaining large industrial user contracts are expected to be renegotiated during
FY2003.
Review of the local limits program was completed during FY2002 and submitted to IDNR dudng
FY2003 for their approval. Once approval is granted, a new Chapter 44; Division 6 will be
instituted.
Engineering for the Water Pollution Control Plant Environmental Monitoring Lab addition is
expected late FY2003 and construction started during FY2004.
Laboratory personnel are working with IDNR on electronic submittal of Wastewater Monitoring
reports and expect to submit reports via the internet dudng FY2004.
It is anticipated that the partnership formed with the University of Dubuque's Environmental
Science Program for monitoring the Catfish Creek Water Shed will continue.

projections indicate this is only generating an additional $4,000 due to Sanofi Bio-Industry
which is dropping from $352,080 to $272,000 per year due to reduced loadings.
2. The personnel complement remains unchanged from the prior year.
-160-
Electrical expense is projected to increase by $47,000 from the budgeted fiscal year 2003
amount based on actual fiscal year 2002 experience and an estimated 15% rate increase
from Alliant. The fiscal year 2003 estimate included $3,000 for the Power Cure Program
offered by Alliant Energy to help address electrical fluctuations caused by internal plant
equipment.
4. Gas expense has been decreased from $85,663 to $67,141 based on actual fiscal year
2002 expense of $56,687. WPC signed a contract with the gas company to lock in the cost
per therm at 70 cents.
Incinerator Fuel has been increased from $69,700 to $74,700 based on actual FY 2002.
They will be reinstating the annual inspections and shutting down each incinerator for at
