Introduction
The purpose of this memo is to provide information relating to the FY 06 Budget and
Code of Ordinance adjustments required for that budget.
Backaround
In preparation for developing the FY 06 Budget, an evaluation of parking rates in the
municipal parking lots was conducted. At the current time, the City of Dubuque has four
surface parking lots in which there are monthly spaces available for rental. In January
of 2001 Lot 2 (9th & Bluff) was adjusted from metered spaces to monthly rental and in
July of 2001, Lot 1 (9th & Central) was adjusted allowing limited monthly rental. At that
time, the monthly fee for these lots was established at $25.00 per month. The other two
monthly surface lots are Lot 10 (5th & Main) at a monthly rate of $35.00 per month and
Lot 3 (5th & Bluff) at $25.00 per month.
Discussion
In evaluating the Parking Division revenues, it was determined that the rates in lots 1, 2
and 10 would have to be increased to meet additional costs. These rates have not
been increased since two of the lots were opened and not increased in the other one for
a minimum of five years. In order to offset increasing costs of maintaining the lots, it is
being recommended that the monthly fee for each of these lots be increased by $2.00
per month. This provides additional revenues of $3192 annually.
Action Reauested
That with your approval, the City Council approve the Code of Ordinances for the City of
Dubuque, Section 32-314 (4)(6) as amended to reflect the recommended rate increases
in the FY 2006 Budget.
