This decision package provides for an additional 4 -hour per day of part time secretary work for the Park
and Recreation Division office. Per the Bunker Hill Internal Cash Control Audit/Review, the Confidential
Account Clerk that prepares bank deposits also accepts payments in the front office from 2 p.m. — 5
p.m. each day. An employee that prepares bank deposits should not also process payments. There is
limited staff in Leisure Services Administration; however the amount of time the Confidential Account
Clerk covers the front office should be reduced as much as possible to have segregated cash handling
-17-
duties. This new 4 -hour per day part-time secretary would vastly reduce/eliminate the time that the
Confidential Account Clerk will have to cover the front desk. (Half is in Recreation Administration.)
This staff position would also be responsible for the following:
1. Assist with payroll duties.
2. Scan documents into Laserfiche.
3. Assist with registration and facility deposits.
4. Other clerical duties to provide workload relief.
5. Inputting recreation program registrations.

This decision package provides for maintenance of the park at 5th and Bell (referred to now as the
Creative Commons) estimated to be open April of 2016. The park will require trash pickup, park and
landscape maintenance services, annual flowers for pots, flag replacement and utilities. Due to the
hiring freeze, personnel from Public Works will integrate the mowing and trash removal duties and
Parks will incorporate landscaping and other park maintenance and snow removal into their duties.
The expenses outlined are only for the timeframe of April 1 through June 30, 2016. The full impact of
expenses will not be seen until FY 17.

This decision package provides for a connection to the city server at the City Forester's office. The
Forester is currently not connected to the server which is inefficient for the operation of the Tree Crew.
This connection would allow for fast access to the city server to work on such things as Web QA, GIS,
etc. This connection was recommended by the Information Services Department.

This decision package provides for a master key system for the Leisure Services Department.
Currently, numerous keys are needed to access Leisure Services facilities and operations. A new key
system would allow for master keys which would decrease the number of keys staff would have to carry
and also be able to access various buildings and facilities with one key. This would also standardize an
outdated key system that the Leisure Services Department currently has. This package would be split
between the Park Division and Recreation Division.

This decision package provides for an increase in hours for seasonal park patrol officers. Park Patrol
hours are currently budgeted for 3 positions at 438 hours each. This is typical hours for a park
operating season. However, this does not account for hours when full time park patrol officers are sick
or on vacation. An increase of 75 hours for each of the 3 positions would be sufficient to cover vacation
and sick leave. The line item has been over expended several years and research has shown this to
be the cause. If not funded, this will mean a decrease in seasonal staffing hours to stay within current
budgeted amount. The line item has been overspent for the last five years. If not funded this will mean
cutting shifts / days worked throughout the park season to not overspend budget as have done in past.

This decision package provides for an additional $29,000 for hiring a private contractor(s) to maintain
additional park areas and other park division assets including landscape areas. Currently, the Park
Areas and Maintenance budget includes $12,285 to mow and string trim Avon, Cleveland, Madison,
Harvest View, Riley, Teddy Bear and Waller -Cooper Parks. We have found this contractual service to
work well and have been done to the level of service we expect. This request would provide contract
maintenance services for items like mowing additional park areas, string trimming, pruning and
spraying of weeds as well as other maintenance duties within any of the park division assets. This
improvement level request is due to the hiring freeze related to four time full time parks staff positions
including 2 assistant horticulturalists, a maintenance worker and a park ranger. The contractor(s) would
be involved in specific park area maintenance tasks which are important to the maintenance of all park
division assets.

This decision package provides for the purchase of a large area (16' wide) rotary mower. With the
number of areas to maintain increasing, a larger mower is needed. This mower would mow areas
much faster and more efficiently, allowing all areas to be maintained to the expected standards.
Currently the widest mower in the park division fleet is 10.5 feet. This mower is on an 8 -day mowing
schedule. The larger 16 foot mower would mow almost 50% more turf decreasing the 8 -day mow
schedule and the amount of fuel used.

roadways and sidewalks. It is also used in the fall season to facilitate the clean-up of leaves. There is

This decision package provides for a tire machine in the mechanic shop. Flat tires are a common
occurrence during the mowing season. A tire machine would allow the mechanic to patch and repair
tires on site that are currently taken to a vendor for repair. This would allow less down time when a
piece of equipment gets a flat tire.

Performance Measures
/Administration — Activity Statement
Operate and maintain a safe and physically attractive system of parks through planning,
developing and directing the activities of the Park Division to ensure all park patrons have an
enjoyable and pleasant experience.
Goals
• Promote activities and amenities of the park system online.
• Utilize volunteers to provide service in the most efficient manner and to help Dubuque's
citizens gain a greater knowledge and appreciation of the park system.
• Assist and guide users of park facilities, provide a sense of security and safe traffic flow in

Objective: Provide 24-hour access to the public on information relating to parks,
trails, shelters, trees, pavilions and Campgrounds.
Miller Riverview campground is a hidden gem for the Park Division. The
implementation of an online reservation system will not only stream line the operation,
but allow for visitors to view available campsites in real time. It will also facilitate the
Campground manager in reservations and availability. The system will also provide
critical data to be used for statistics and tracking purposes.
Objective: Continue to host programs and events in parks and public spaces that

division needs to continue to host these programs and events on a larger scale to
capture the portion of the community that is not being served.
Objective: Complete the EB Lyons interpretive area addition project at Mines of
Spain.
The EB Lyons interpretive area addition is an
expansion of the area adjacent to the EB Lyons
interpretive Center. it includes a trail, additional
parking, restroom building, and a covered shelter for
multiple uses. The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (1DNR) has also partnered with this
development to build a new maintenance facility.
This expansion has a number of funding sources
which includes private donations and grants. The
expansion has been paid for with no burden to the tax
payer. Many partners have been collaborating to get
this project completed including the Iowa Natural
Heritage Foundation, 1DNR, City of Dubuque, as well
as the friends of the Mines of Spain.
In the fall of 2013, the State Park Directors
Conference was held in Dubuque. A project called
Americas State Tree Woodland Walk project was held during this conference. This
included all of the State Park Directors coming out to the addition and planting tree
species from almost all 50 states along the trail.
Objective: Continue to collaborate on the Parks to People Initiative.
The Parks to People initiative is an initiative for implementing the Iowa Parks
Foundation and Governor's Green Ribbon Commission report. The goal is to achieve
regional park system collaborations and identifying priority projects to support at the
state, county, and local levels through public private partnerships. The goals are to build
an integrated regional parks program across Iowa.
At the end of September the Governor presented the first award for the state of Iowa to
the Jones/Jackson/Dubuque region. The region is being called the Grant Wood
Mississippi River Region because there are connections to that in all three of these
counties. This region will be the pilot for additional regions across the state. The project
has $1.9 million available. The region must match 5 to 1. There are city, state, county
and tourism people all working together. They are looking at the region to see what
compliments each other, what makes us unique and make people aware of why they
would want to come here, what can this region offer and then how does it connect with
others. This region has a rural / urban component.

Objective: Establish Eagle Point Park as a
National Historic Landmark.
Eagle Point Park is the premier park for the
Park Division. The ability to get the park on the
National Historic register creates numerous
possibilities. It would continue to draw people
from all over the country to come and visit the
park. It would also facilitate the City's desire to
continue to protect and preserve the park for
future generations. It provides the community
with a sense of pride in the park system of
Dubuque.
During the 2014 season:
40,575 cars and 96 buses entered
Eagle Point Park.
Objective: Convert various park areas of turf to natural and native areas.
The conversion of certain areas of park space would
provide for a more natural park setting. Native and
natural areas promote a healthy environment while
decreasing maintenance costs of those areas. It would
allow for decreased staff time, less equipment fuel and
less equipment maintenance. These types of natural
and native areas also provide for a diverse ecosystem.
The Park Division currently maintains 27.5 acres of
natural area and 14.5 more acres are expected to be
incorporated in 2015.

Activity: Forestry
Overview
Forestry is responsible for the maintenance of all city trees. These are trees located on
the public right-of-way, between the street and sidewalk or on City of Dubuque property.
This activity includes tree pruning, tree removal and emergency work after storm
events, with a primary focus on public safety and hazard reduction. It is also
responsible for the cleanup of any debris from a city tree.
Forestry works with many different entities to ensure the health and proper maintenance
of the City's trees. The crew coordinates tree preservation on street projects with
Engineering, Public Works and Water Departments. They work with the Dubuque
Community School District bus division, City transit, Fire Department, Street
Department refuse collection and postal service on maintaining tree overhang
clearances over routes and with visibility issues. They advise utility companies on tree
preservation involving utility line maintenance and replacement. They also keep
alleyways open and passable.
The City Forester makes a determination of the health of a city tree to decide if it
warrants removal or is a hazard to the public and also advises on tree policy, Emerald
Ash Borer and other invasive pest awareness. Assistance with snow removal at the
Iowa, Locust, 4th Street, 5th Street and 10th Street Parking Ramps is also accomplished
through this activity.
The Forestry activity promotes urban forest health and safety, clean air, reduced heat
island effect and residential cooling cost, storm water retention and water quality and
aesthetic quality and increased property values.

PARK DIVISION
Objective: Continue to educate the public about the benefits of trees.
Trees provide numerous benefits to the environment as well as to the community and
homeowner. Trees moderate climate, improve air quality, and reduce storm water
runoff. Property values are typically higher with properties that have trees and
landscaping versus those that do not. Trees also create a more natural environment in
developed areas.
The City has 5,245 street trees
that are maintained by Park
Division staff. Approximately
24% of those trees are ash
trees.
Objective: Continue to create plans and strategies for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
A City Council high priority is the Emerald Ash Borer policy, program and funding. A
preliminary survey has been completed by Park Division staff of the City's ash tree
population. Park Division staff is also currently working on a Readiness Plan for EAB.
The goal of this plan is to
identify appropriate and
effective response actions
to be taken in the event
that EAB is discovered
within Dubuque City Limits.
The objective is to
minimize the destructive
effects of EAB on the City's
Ash tree population.
Information regarding EAB can found on the
City of Dubuque website at
www. cityofd u b u q u e.org/EAB
After the readiness plan is finalized a management scenario will need to be
implemented and funding will need to be identified to help mitigate this destructive pest.
