Your e-mail message of August 12, 2003 to Dr. Tim Quagliano has been referred
to us for reply.
The City Council has indicated that QHQ and your group should attempt to reach
a resolution of the issues through mediation. QHQ is willing to try mediation. Les V.
Reddick, an attorney with Kane, Norby & Reddick of Dubuque is an experienced
mediator in a variety of cases. In addition, he often acts as defense counsel in litigation
involving the City and is familiar with city government and its processes. Mr. Reddick
and Dr. Quagliano are available to meet for a mediation session on Wednesday,
September 10, 2003. Accordingly, QHQ Properties proposes the following:
1. Mr. Reddick be retained by the parties as a mediator.
2. A mediation session with Mr. Reddick be held on Wednesday, September
10, 2003 at a time and place which is mutually agreeable. The mediation
session could be held at City Hall, our offices, Mr. Reddick's offices, or at
some neutral site.

3. Mr. Reddick charges an administrative fee of $100.00, $150.00 per hour
for document review and preparation, and $200.00 per hour for time
actually spent in mediation. Each side would pay one-half of Mr.
Reddick's fees for acting as a mediator.
4. Dr. Quagliano would be personally present at the mediation, together with
two representatives. Your group would be represented by three
representatives of its choice, who would have authority to make binding
agreements toward a resolution of all issues in this matter.
5. The positions of the parties for mediation and the ultimate outcome of the
mediation may be reported by either party to the Dubuque City Council
and individual members.
We ask that we have your reply to this proposal by the close of business on Tuesday,
September 2, 2003, so that Dr. Quagliano and his representatives can schedule
accordingly and we can firm up the date with Mr. Reddick.
We hope to hear from you directly.
Very truly yours,
FUERSTE, CAREW, COYLE,

Subject: QHQ Properties Rezoning Request
Dear Council members,
I just noticed that the QHQ properties rezoning is on the agenda for
tonight's meeting. If I understand the agenda item properly, the city
manager is asking for direction for the city staff.
We would like to ask for support/help from the city staff in a few areas:
* We will be using the city mediation services.
* We will need the help of the City Engineering to define
expectations of the drainage ditch, which offers very limited (and only)
buffer to the QHQ land. Current engineering drawings on file from Buesing
Associates show the whole area bulldozed (no more trees). This directly
effects several of the neighborhoods yards and the future mediation
negotiations. They can also help us understand the city requirements for
development issues such as drainage on the parking lots of the proposed QHQ
rezoning, or any other surprises that may effect either sides expectations.
* We would like a representative from city planning on hand as a
short term resource to explain the guidelines for good land use design. For
example why the land has always been planned as residential, and what the
effects this change has on neighboring developments (any cascading effects
such as the Plastics Company across NW Arterial has had on our
neighborhood).
I will not be able to be at tonight's meeting and am not sure if anyone else
from the neighborhood is aware of tonight's agenda.
Again, we thank you for time and support.
