FY 2006 Operating Budget & CIP Program
February 3, 2005
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing on City Budget
Budget Director Dawn Lang is recommending that a public hearing on the Fiscal Year
2006 budget be set for March 9, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. in the Carnegie-State Public Library
Auditorium.
This date was selected by the City Council on December 6, 2004, when the budget
guidelines were adopted. This date was selected after checking numerous calendars to
ensure that there was no major conflict with another activity. This date has been placed
in the Fiscal Year 2006 Budget Citizens Guide and generally discussed in the media.
I have received notice from the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce that March 9 has
been selected as the date of Dubuque Night in Des Moines. The City Council now
needs to make the official final selection of a public hearing date that will be placed in
the legal notice advertising the budget public hearing. The two practical choices are
Wednesday, March 9 or Tuesday, March 8.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
WELCOME --
to this meeting of the Dubuque City Council.
During this meeting a public hearing will be conducted by the City Council for the
purpose of soliciting public comments as Council considers the City Manager's
recommended City budget for the year beginning July 1, 2005.
After the Mayor has called this meeting to order, there will be some preliminary
business conducted by the Council. This includes receiving and filing affidavits from
the Telegraph Herald showing that proper notices of this meeting were published.
At the appropriate time the Mayor will say that persons wishing to address the Council
may do so. Speakers should approach the nearest microphone and state their name
and address and, if representing an organization, they should also give the name and
address of that organization. In order to allow an opportunity for everyone who wishes
to address the Council speakers should limit their remarks to three minutes. If the
speaker agrees with comments made by another speaker, it is not necessary to repeat
those comments but just say, "I agree with the other speaker".
Please do not hesitate to state your opinion or position. The Mayor and members of
the City Council appreciate your attendance and participation at this meeting. The
input of citizens like you is of great assistance to the City Council as they deliberate on
adopting a budget that is in the best interest of the City of Dubuque and its citizens.
Thank you for coming.
