INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for City Council acceptance of the public improvements
which the developer, Copper Mill Construction, has completed in Copper Field
Subdivision in the City of Dubuque, Iowa.
BACKGROUND
As a condition of subdivision plat approval through Resolution No. 212 -96, the
developer of Copper Field Subdivision was required to install certain improvements
including street paving with curb, sanitary sewer main, watermain, storm sewer and
catch basins, detention facilities, and boulevard street lighting and to dedicate these
improvements to the City upon completion.

The Subdivision Ordinance requires that upon completion of all the required public
improvements, the subdivider shall notify the City in writing of the completion of the
improvements, requesting that the City either approve or reject the acceptance of the
improvements, together with a statement of reasons for any rejection.
On July 20, 1998, Copper Mill Construction requested City's acceptance of the
improvements in Copper Field Subdivision. Upon inspection by the City, it had been
determined that all of the public improvements required by Resolution No. 212 -96,
except for street lighting, had been completed in accordance with plans approved by the
City Council and in conformance with City specifications on December 10, 1998.
Copper Mill Construction was notified in writing on December 22, 1998 and June 3,
1999 to install street lighting in accordance with the approved plans. On July 23, 2001,
written documentation was sent to Copper Mill Construction to correct deficiencies
found on the subsequent installation of the street lights. Having finally resolved these
last issues concerning the installation of street lights, City Engineering has determined
the required improvements as specified have been completed.
RECOMMENDATION
I would, therefore, recommend that the City Council accept the improvements. Since all
improvements, except street lighting which was completed in 2008, had been completed
in accordance to City specifications and in use by the public since 1998, it is suggested
that the two -year maintenance period be waived.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution accepting the
improvements.
