Regular Session, March 1, 1971
Communication of Dubuque Ad-
visory Commission recommending
that a curfew is not necessary at
this time: however, it can be re-
examined at a later time, if neces-
sary, due in some part that there is
litUe factual material written on
curfews, mainly because it is diffi-
cult to study scientifically the
extent and time factor of juven-
ile crime, presented and read.

Pregler. Carried by the following
vote:

would consider a young person for
reappointment. As to the curfew
a majority of the local police
would like it. Mr. Joe Paradiso
presented a minority report from
the Commission meeting of January
Z6th. Mayor Couchman was of the
opinion that youth is confus-
ed enough without putting in a
built-in tension factor.
Councilman Moldenhauer moved
that work sessions be established
with the City Solicitor to pursue
study of feasibility of having a
curfew ordinance. Seconded by
Councilman Pregler. Carried by the

Hon. Mayor and Council Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commision has held a public
hearing on a proposal to amend
the zoning ordinance to permit mo-
bile home parks in the Multiple
Residence District. The proposal
establishes two (2) conditions that
must be met:
1. The site shall contain a mini-
mum of ten (10) acres of conti-
nuous property;
2. The plan shall meet the re-
quirements of the Mobile Home
Park Development Policy.
The requirement of ten (10) ac.
res as a minimum established to
encourage a development of mo-
bile home parks with at least fifty
(50) units so that community facili-
ties, for the occupants and manage-
ment of the park, will be economi-
cally feasible.
The Commission has adopted, as
policy, a set of dev<~opment stan-
dards for mobile home parks. It is
the intent that this policy will be-
come a pari of an ordinance for
mobile home parks which the Com.
mission is developing, however, hy
using it as policy, initially, the
Commission can develop some ex-
perience in working with the pro-
visions before it is presented in
ordinance form.
The Commission is submitting
the proposed ordinance permitting
mobile home parks in the Multiple
Residence District at this time to
accommodate the development of
the area recently annexed to the
City and located in Table Mound
Township. It is the intent that the
development that would be permit-
ted by this proposal would be in
conformance with the proposed zo-
ning ordinance which the Commis-
sion and Co'mcil have under con-
sideration at the present time. It
is the recommendation of the Com-
mission that the Council adopt the
amendment to the ordinance and
also adopt ti:e Development Stan-
dards as policy.
Respectfully submitted,

March 5, 1971
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
I have investigated the balances
of the several funds and accounts,
calculated the salary and wage ex-
pense for 1971, determined the
cost of programs and materials
budgeted in 1970 which must be
carried into 1971, and have casted
several items which require addi-
tional financing such as "twice
per week refuse collection."
I have requested that ordinances
and resolutions be drawn cover-
ing all these transactions. I
In order that you may he aware
of the financial detail involved, I
submit the following:
Table 1. Requested Supplemental
Appropriations to 1971 Budget
for salary and wage adjust-
ments.
Table n. Requested Supplemen-
tal Appropriation to 1971 Bud-
get Incomplete Commitments
Budgeted in 1970.
Table ill. Summary, Requested
Supplementary Appropriation.
The tables indicate the intent
and purpose of the proposed ordi-
nance and resolution. On the last
page of Table ill, I have indicated
the fund transfers required to fi-
nance the requested supplemental
appropriations.
The information is stated in
terms of funds and the 1970 bud-
get accounts; however, it is in-
tended to adjust the 1971 budget
by converting the information into
the appropriate programs, subpro-
grams and activities.
The ordinance for increasing the
budget appropriations must be set
down for public hearing- The res-
olution requesting fund transfers
may be passed at the Council
meeting at which they are pre-
sented.
I recommend to you the pro-
posed ordinance and resolution.
Respectfully,
Gilbert D. Chavenelle

Councilman Pregler moved that
the communication be received

tion approved. Seconded by Mayor
Couchman. Carried by the follow-

Mr. Raymond Kasel and Don
Ward, members of the Highway
Commission were in attendance,
along with. Mr. Ferguson of lIen-
ningson, Durham and Richardson
who spoke on the proposed free-
WIlY for the' City. Mr. Richard Fer-
gason took charge of showing the
various proposed layouts by the
use of slides and graphs.
Varieua routes. were suggested
such as a route through the pres-
ent Courthouse, another east of
Washington Street. One proposed
route was suggested. by cutting
across the point area however not
in the original plans. Another
rente was a posible eut through
Special Session, March 15, 1971
land in extreme eastern part of
the City through the heavy indus-
trial area. Another route suggested
would be through Mt. Calvary
cemetery. Other features included
two routes for bridges across the
Mississippi. One route from Six-
teenth Street west of Kerper Blvd.
and meet the river near the Muni-
cipal swimming pool. A south
route was shown intersecting high-
way No. 52 at the Bellevue Road,
running northeast to the river
bluffs, south and east of Mt. Car-
mel.
As to the use of DoMe Street
one route wonld call for the level-
ling of homes on both sides, the
other route would be to level the
homes on the south side only. Var- I'
ious interchanges were shown be-
tween Eighth and Ninth Street at
the tracks; between Thirteenth
Street and Fourteenth at the
tracks; between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth at the tracks; near
Fourteenth and Sycamore and near
Sixteenth and Kerper.
Several questions were posed hy
Mrs. Edna Thompson. Rev. An-
thony Siwarth, Supervisor Louis
Barrett, Irvin Behr. Mr. Ferguson
went out of his way to stress the
fact that all the above is all sub-
ject to change and it would prob-
ably be close to one year before
pIons are somewhat near finalized,
and that future public hearings
will he held, as the idea of the I
freeway progresses.

March Z6, 1971 I
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
I submit to you the Emergency
Flood Control plan, Revised, March
1971. City Engineer John White
and city staff will review the
details of the plan with you. Nec-
essary dike construction and pump
installations are described in the
plan, and the cost of the work
estimated.
On March Z6th, the plan was
presented to representatives of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with
a request that the Corps undertake
dike construction and pump in-
stallation. Based on the current
forecast of the river flood it was
decided to construct dikes required
for a 23.5 foot river stage and I
install storm water pumps. Mr.
Mrs. Robert Gustafson, resident
engineer for the Corps, is prepar-
ing bids and contracts for the
work. The extent of Corps par-
ticipation in the program will be
known in a few days. Further, it
was decided to start dike construc-
tion on April 5th.
It is prohable that there will
be considerable emergency ex-
pense other than that paid for by
the Corps of Engineers. Conse-
quently, I phoned the State Civil
Defense Director and the Region 8
Office of Emergency Preparedness.
From these sources I learned that
Federal Disaster Assistance is de-
pendent on the declarations of
disaster by both the Governor and
the President. Should such declara-
tions be made, then the Office of
""... ::
Emergency Preparedness will as-
sist the city as in 1969.
Although there is no certainty
that there will be other federal
assistance than that given by the
Corps of Engineers, I believe that
the city is committed to the emer-
gency program. If events follow
those of 1969, then the Corps'
commitment will be about $200,000
and other expense will be $300,000.
The following are the alternatives
for financing the project.
1) If a disaster is declared, an
advance grant will be requested
from OEP. This will equal 50-75
percent of the cost. The final grant
will cover the entire cost which
will not be settled for two years.
We will carry a red balance in
the account until final settlement.
2) If disaster is not declared,
and the city expense is a sizeable
amount, application will be made
for an interest free loan from the
State under SF 796 (62nd G.A.).
3) If a loan cannot be secured
from the state, bonds will be sold
on the commercial market under
Chapter 333 of the Laws of the
62nd G.A.
4) If the amount of the city
expense is small, a deficit balance
will be carried and taxes levied
to pay the amount.
5) In any case we will arrange
with a bank to receive our
"stamped warrants," which is a
permitted method whereby the
supplier of material or service is
paid by the bank, and the city
account plus interest is settled at
a later date when financing has
been arranged. - ~~
I request your consideration. of
a resolution authorizing emergency
expenditure and the issuance of
warrants for the purpose of ev-
idencing indebtedness to various
creditors who furnish labor and
materials to the city in connection
with the emergency program.
