There will be great assets iu at- tractiug tourists, in transporting goods aud in tbe safety and con- venience of our Dubuque residents. We bave also beeu fortuuate in the fact that we were able to convince tbe Federal Government to partici- pate with us iu extending the run- ways at the airport. This will help to guarantee continued air trans- portation into Dubuque. I might mention also that we are being considered for an improved safety system which will further guaran- tee flights in poor weather. During this period of four years we also saw approval of zoning necessary to accommodate the new shopping center, the christening of a major naval ship named after our city, the U.s.s. Dubuque and the first successful City boud issue in many years which will allow us to build the much needed fire station in western Dubuque. Certainly the implementation of the Urban Renewal program will stand out as one of the most con- troversial steps which was taken. However a city cannot allow its central core to go to ruin- It is much too important as a major contributor to the tax base and in many respects it represents the attitude and pride a town has in itself. Along the lines of recreation we say the development of Veterans Memorial Park, the purchase of the 200 acre Miller farm for park development, the beginning of a neighborhood "Tot Lot" program and other major strides too num- erous to mention. In Industrial ex- pansion we have witnessed 17 small new industries locating here and expansion of 120 of the older industries. We have seen the popu- lation of Dubuque increase by about 10,000 in the past four years. Increased population meant the need for additional land and the city annexed 1620 acres to provide this land. Studies are underway now to promote two new bridges, one North and one South to better serve our city. Among other things we have seen our city employees - the CITY COUNCIL Yeas - Councilmen Couchman, Meyers, Pregler, Schultz. Nays-None. Councilman McCauley not voting- CIty Clerk Frommelt swore in the new Mayor Sylvester McCauley, whereupon said Mayor took the Mayor's chair. Mayor McCauley moved that the gavel and block used by former Mayor Ludwig be presented to him. Seconded by Councilman Pregler. Carried by the following vote: Yeas - Mayor McCauley, Coun- cilmen Couchman, Meyers, Pregler, Schultz. Nays-None. Mayor McCauley swore in City Manager Gilbert D. Chavenelle, City Clerk Leo F. Frommelt, and City SolicItor R. N- Russo to serve in their various capacities for the ensuing year of 1968- RESOLUTION NO. 1-68 A Resolution providing for the appointment of a City Manager, City Clerk, City Solicitor, pr.. scribing their salaries and fix- ing their bonds. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DU- BUQUE, IOWA, That the following officers be appointed, subject however, to the right of the Council to declare such offices vacant, or remove the of- ficers therefrom at the pleasure of the Council, with or without cause, and to be paid the compensation provided for in the detailed distri- bution of proposed expenditures for 1968 and that t,he City Manager provide a $5,000 bond and the City Solicitor provide a $1,000 bond, at their expense, and that the City Clerk be covered under the Blanket Honesty Bond.

Pregler Merlin F. Schultz Donald R. Meyers Gaylord M. Couchman Councilmen street department, the fire and police, and almost all others com- pensated by increases in pay to the point where they are as well paid as any city personnel within Iowa. I certainly speak with pride when I speak of our city employees- We can be justly proud and thankful that the Dubuque employee's are rated throughout the state as being "the best". All the previous accomplish- ments were made with only about a 21> mill increase to taxes. I feel we can consider this to be major progress at a budget price. Finally and most importantly I wish to thank my wife and family and my business partner for allow- ing me to serve on the city counciL Without total endorsement from them it would have been an im- possible task. It has been a real pleasure serv- ing with several different councils. I wish to commend them for work- ing so hard in the past and to wish them best of luck in the future. Dubuque truly is now, and will continue to be in the future the greatest place in the world to live, work and raise our families. OFFICIAL Adjourned Regular Session, Jan- uary 2, 1968. Council met at 7:30 P.M. (C.S.T.) Present-Mayor Ludwig, Coun- cilmen McCauley, Meyers, Pregler, Schultz. City Manager Gilbert D. Chavenelle. Mayor Ludwig read the call and stated that service thereof had been duly made and this meeting is an ADJOURNED MEETING of the REGULAR MEETING schedul- ed for January 1, 1968, also being the first meeting of the fiscal year of 1968, called for the purpose of acting upon such business as may properly come before the meeting- The following prepared state- ment was read by retiring Mayor Ludwig. It is with great pride that I review with you some of the aceomplishments that have been made over the four year period in which I had the pleasure of serv- ing on the Dubuque City Council. The credit for these forms of prog- ress are not those of any particular person but rather a cooperating force of Dubuque citizens, city staff and personnel, the very effective boards and commissions, and the city council. It is impossible to go into any detail but I feel an obligation to highlight a few of the things which I consider noteworthy: A new 450 car parking ramp was erected on 9th & Locust which required no increase in taxes. A sidewalk program was begun which was highly controversial, but the result is that in three years we have in- stalled over 45 miles of sidewalk which allow our children and other residents to walk in relative safety. No doubt one of the greatest ac- complishments was the approval of a flood wall for the city. Each year the city was flooded it cost up to 20 million dollars in lost payroll and properties. Upon completion of the flood wall we, not only will protect the jobs and properties of Dubuquer's, but will also greatly enhance the possibilities of indus- try considering Dubuque as a place to locate. Another major step was Once again, congratulations to the many, many people that make our town the greatest and best of luck in the year 1968 and in all future years. Councilman Pregler moved that the foregoing statement be receiv- ed and filed and made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Meyers.

Present - Mayor McCauley, Councilmen Couchman, Meyers, Pregler, Schultz. City Manager Gilbert D. Chavenelle. Mayor McCauley read the call and stated that service thereof had been duly made and this meeting is called fo rthe purpose of dis- cussing proposed expenditures and the future of organized baseball in the City of Dubuque and acting upon such other business as may properly come before a regular meeting of the City Council Mayor McCauley moved that the rules be suspended in order to let anyone present address the Coun- cil if they so desire. Seconded by Councilman Pregler. Carried by the following vote: Yeas - Mayor McCauley Coun- cilmen Couchman, Meyers, Pregler, Schultz. Nays-None. Mr. John Petrakis addressed the Council relative to baseball and its future for the City of Dubuque. He attended a meeting of the Midwest League in Rock Island on Sunday and was granted until Wednesday of this week to make a firm deci. sion as to having baseball for the City of Dubuque in 1968 The present lighting at the lo- cal ball park is inadequate, the restroom facilities are intolerable, and the area around the park in an eyesore. The City presently has two light towers on hand and Mr. Petrakis assured the Council that these tow. ers can be erected by donated la. bor. It will require approximately ten thousand dollars to construct a new clubhouse and wire and equip the towers The present show- er room was built in 1914 and is used for the home team. The area around the park needs filling in, and is in sad need of beautification and Mr. Petrakis appealed to the Council to help get this job ac- complished. The City was paid $5800 in the year 1966 for the years 1965 and 1966. Rental was paid in full for the years 1962, 1963, 1965 and 1966, approximately $19,000. No rental was paid for the years 1964 and 1967. The 1967 rental amount was used toward the purchase of the two light towers. Baseball Inc. has put in as much money into the park for improve- ments as the City has. If donated labor would be included the amount would far exceed any amount that the City has put in. The total amount expended for the team, within approximately a four month period, is $100,000. $40,000 to $45,000 of this amount is local . club expenditure. If professional baseball ever left Dubuque the park would still be utilized by lo- cal youth. So whatever is put into the park should not be considered a total waste of money and effort. The Council agreed to go along with Mr. Petrakis as to the light- ing, restroom facilities, and getting the area around the park cleaned up, all of the above being subject to final adoption of a working contract. Printed Council proceedings for the months of September and Oc- tober 1967, presented for approval. Councilman Pregler moved that the Council proceedings for the months of September and October 1967 be approved as printed. Sec- onded by Councilman Schultz.
