Council met at 7:30 P.M. Present -Mayor Kintzinger, Councilmen Freund, Schueller, Ta- kos, Welu. City Manager Schiltz. Mayor Kintzinger stated that this is an adjourned meeting of the regular meeting of February 2, 1959 for the purpose of acting upon such business as may prop- erly come before a regular meet- ing of the City Council. Forward My purpose in presenting the following report to the news media prior to it's introduction at the regular meeting of the City Coun- cil on February 2nd, 1959 is in hope that citizens being informed of the issues, will give their opin- ions to the members of the coun• cil. Gentlemen, one year has passed since I was elected to this coun- cil. In that time, I have grown more familiar with the workings of our municipal government, and I have come to believe that there are areas in which our service to the citizens can be improved. The areas to which I wish to call your attention are Communica- tions, that is, the flow of informa- tion between the city government and the citizens, and within the organizational structure of the city government; Long-Range Planning, with regard to the development of Dubuque; and Finance and Budget• ing. I have several specific proposals in each of these areas, I would welcome the comments of the council and, of course, any addi- tional proposals. IN THE AREA OF COMMUNI- CATIONS, Ifeel that it is vital that the city adopt a positive and sincere program designed to in- form the taxpayers-in detail-of the programs underway. I do not believe that the city government or the Council have the confidence of the voters. As an example, I cite the de- feat of the Annexation issue in the recent elections. This was, in ef• fect, a proposal by city officials and the Council to the voters. The defeat of the proposition must, to some degree, be considered a vote of "No Confidence:' I believe that much of this lack of confidence is due to inadequate information. The natural reaction of an uninformed person is one of suspicion and distrust. The Council must deal with this prob- lem by establishing two-way ave- nues of communication between the citizens and the Council. This same difficulty, I feel, ex- ists within the city government. It is important that the members of the various governing bodies and each city employee be fully in- formed of the plans and objectives not only of their individual depart- ments and branches but of the city as a whole. Maximum efficiency can be achieved only if each of us is able to evaluate our effort in relation to the total program of the city. I offer seven proposals in this area: 1) To improve the flow of infor- mation to the people, I propose that the City Manager be directed to prepare a monthly "progress re- port" for the news media concern- ing city activity and business. This report to be presented at a regu- larly scheduled press conference. The guiding principal should be that all information which is not directly prejudicial to the program or persons involved be made avail- able. In those few instances which require special handling, complete details should be released at the earliest possible time. 2) To provide the citizens with every opportunity to communicate with their Councilmen, I propose that the members of the Council adopt a policy of being on-hand in the Council Chamber one-half hour prior to each meeting. This should also act to relieve councilmen of the routine inquiries which are directed to them from day to day. 3) Ta encourage greater partici- pation by the people in the affairs of the Council, I propose that the agenda of the council meetings be arranged in such a way that mat- ters of particular interest are pre- sented first and that all routine Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 89 business be grouped and reserved to the end of the agenda. This re- vision would allow the radio sta- tions to broadcast those portions of the meetings which are of in• terest to their audiences. 4) To promote attendance at council meetings, I propose that the council adopt the policy of meeting at a site other than the council chambers when the busi- ness before the council is of such interest as to require an auditori• um of greater capacity. In the past many people have not been able to get into meetings, or have been discouraged from attending meet- ings by the limited space avail- ' able. 5) To assure that city employees are well informed with regard to policies which affect them and of the general program of the city government, I propose that the program of education of city em- ployees be intensified, The general objective of this effort should be to aid city employees in under- standing their position of service i to the community, and to enable them to better interpret the pro- grams and policies of the city gov- ernment, 6) To aid the members of the various boards and commissions ~ and the heads of the departments, ~, I propose the installation of quar- terly work sessions including these persons and the Council. This , should do much to foster better v understanding among these groups. ~ Certainly, if all understand the re- lotion of their area of specific in- terest to the over-all plans of the city they will be able to function more effectively. Also, the oppor• tunities for development which lie b before the city are many. Inevita• bly, it will be necessary to choose those projects which seem to re- quire priority. The workshops should aid in promoting under- standing of these decisions. t 7) To insure that each council- man is as well informed as possi- ble on the matters which are pre- sented to the Council, I propose ' that the City Manager be directed to prepare a bi-monthly report to the- Council, with specific attention to those issues in the planning stages which are to come before the Council. During my year in of- fice, I have been greatly handi- capped in evaluating many items which appeared on the agenda of the Council of which I had not been previously informed. THE AREA OF LONG-RANGE PLANNING demands our most careful consideration. A well or- ganized plan of zoning and annexa- tion can do much to foster the de- velopment of our city. Careful stu• dy must be made of the require- ments of our increasing population to insure that adequate business areas are available in the city and that ample provision is made for future growth. I believe the Council must take the initiative in re-zoning to promote business and trade as it has taken the ini- tiative in promoting new industry through the City Island Project. In this area I offer four pro- posals: 1) To foster the development of the business community, I propose that the Council, together with the Planning and Zoning Commission, consider the extension of business zoning in the downtown area and other sections of the city which indicate need for such re-zoning. Such re-zoning by area seems mare desirable than the present policy of acting on individual petitions which are often highly colored by personal differences between prop- erty owners in the affected area. 2) To modernize zoning ordin- ances, Ipropose that the City So- licitor be instructed to review these laws and to offer his recom- mendations regarding ordinances which are outdated, no longer ap- plicable, or require revision for other reasons. 3) To provide a sound basis for the orderly acquisition of addi- tional lands for the city, I propose that a comprehensive plan of staged annexation be prepared. The plan should envision twenty- five to fifty years of the projected growth of the city and should be organized in stages which would provide for revision in coming years. I believe that this plan should be prepared in time to allow the first phase of annexa- tion of properties now required for expansion to be presented to the voters in the November elec- tion, 90 Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 4) To aid in planning, I pro- pose that the present Master Plan be amended to reflect the devia- tions which have taken place. Al- so, there are currently certain concepts of development which are not in the plan and which should be included. The value of a Master Plan would seem to rest in its showing accurately the current status of development and pro- jected thinking. THE AREA OF FINANCE AND BUDGETING has been of special interest to me long before coming to the Council. In this area I feel my responsibility is clear cut. The people of Dubuque are anxious to see their city grow. This develop- ment must be organized to permit it to be accomplished within the scope of a reasonable taxation pro- gram. I am keenly aware that an imag• inative and far-reaching program of development is necessary if we are to achieve this desired growth. It is precisely because of my in- terest in Dubuque's progress that I insist that we must receive the maximum value for each available tax-dollar It is the responsibility of each department and agency of our municipal government to achieve all possible efficiency in using their alloted funds. We on the Council must be careful to channel the city's tax revenue to those projects which seem to offer the best return in terms of growth and development. In this area I offer four pro- posals: 1) To reduce the expense of maintaining city passenger vehi- cles, Ipropose that the City Man- ager investigate the various fleet rental programs for possible utili- zation by the city in lieu of the purchase of such vehicles. Many large businesses have found such rentals desirable. This in itself is enough to justify such an investi- gation. 2) To permit realistic budget- ing, Ipropose that every effort be made to reduce existing cash balances maintained by the city. It is senseless to devote time to preparing a detailed budget when, in fact, almost every department, board, and commission has at its disposal liberal funds which may be used at will. 3) To aid the Council in re- viewing the budget, I propose that a committee of qualified persons be invited to serve as a Budget Analyzing Committee. This group would be an invaluable aid to the individual councilman in perform- ing the research necessary for a comprehensive analysis of the budget. The committee should be as representative as possible, and preferably, should include persons whose training qualifies them for such service. Representatives could be drawn from the Local Organized Labor, the League of Women Voters, the Junior and Senior Chamber of Commerce, the Du• buque Real Estate Board, the Eco- nomics and Business Departments of the city's colleges and univer- sity, and other interested civic and business groups. In it's report to the Council the committee should include both majority and minority opinions. I ask that the enumerated pro• posals be discussed individually by the council. To conserve time for discussion, I have furnished councilmen with copies of this statement prior to the meeting. I ask that the City Clerk be in- structed to enter this statement in the minutes without a reading~ I believe it would be a sound policy for the Council to set aside some time each year for a general review of the operations of the municipal government. I would be most happy if these proposals would serve as the basis of such a discussion. PETER J. TAKOS City Councilman Mayor Kintzinger moved that the communication be made a matter of record. Seconded by Councilman Freund. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Kintzinger, Coun- cilmen Freund, Schueller, Takos. Nays-Councilman Welu. Councilman Freund expressed himself by stating that the City Manager should be available to all newsmedia and he should make news releases when reporters call at his office. The idea of coming to the Council Chamber a half hour before the meeting in his opinion is considered superfluous. ,. C. ii f' y~ 1 `f; ~` "~. ~ ,~~ ~' . Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 91 He personally felt that the Planning & Zoning Commission is doing a very fine job. He also stated that he felt that the ex- tension of the business area is not necessary but rather that a rejuvenation of the area would be in order. He is not opposed to a shopping center. The preservation of down-town is imperative. He could see no advantage to a group of citizens going over the budget- That is the job of the Council as they have been elected by the people to handle the bud- get. Ataxpayer's association may be formed at $1.00 per year for each individual in an advisory capacity. Advice by a qualified group is most welcome.

February 5, 1959 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The intersection of Vernon and Glen Oak Streets has been in the past a source of complaints that the vision is obscured at this in- tersection which may cause serious accidents. Both Glen Oak and Vernon Streets at this location have been improved and there has been a gradual residential growth north of Vernon on Glen Oak Street. While the accident experience has been light at this location the accidents that have occurred were marked by severe property loss and heavy damage. It is felt that if stop signs were erected at this intersection it would reduce the possibility of future serious oc- currences. Because of the topo- graphic conditions at this intersec- tion, it is believed that traffic on Glen Oak Street should be stopped before entering Vernon Street. It is recommended therefore that stop signs be erected so that north and south bound traffic on Glen Oak Street will stop at the ~ intersection with Vernon Street, and that the City Solicitor prepare the proper proceedings. Respectfully submitted, L. J. SCHH.TZ, City Manager 94 Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 Councilman Freund moved that ', the recommendation of the City Manager be approved. Seconded by Councilman Takos. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Kintzinger, Coun• ', oilmen Freund, Schueller, Takos, Welu. Nays-None.

February 6, 1959 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: The City of Dubuque has operat- ed an ambulance for a number of years with approximately two thirds of the costs borne by taxes and the fees taking care of the one third casts. I have studied various reports on ambulance charges made by cities over the country and find there is a wide difference of pol- icy on the service provided and the charges made. Most cities do not operate ambulance but in this case subsidize the private ambu- lance service by guaranteeing pay- ment for emergency calls. Those cities who operate city ambulances have a variable policy from a very small charge to $20.00 per call within the city limits. Mast cities have their ambulances under the fire departments and operate them with firemen or po• licemen. Far calls outside the City the charges are more than city calls plus a mileage charge for the total miles traveled. In 1958 the operating cost of our ambulance service was $11,082.05 not including depreciation or equipment. The total charges were $4826.00 and the collections were $4531.00. From these figures the collections pay 40% of the costs, ' In order that the ambulance ~ service will be self-supporting, the 'fees will have to be increased. If the council feels this service should be provided to Dubuque citizens at a less than cost basis, 96 Adjourned Regular Session, February 9, 1959 there should nevertheless be an increase in out of city calls where the service is provided now at the expense of city taxpayers. The following fee schedule would be necessary to provide this service without a general tax appropriation. City Calls-$10.00 for each trip. Outside City Calls-$15.00 for each trip plus .25 per mile each way. $10.00 per hour or fraction thereof for delays not caused by persons operating the ambu- lance. If the policy of providing ambu- lance service is to be revised there should be consideration giv- en to the maximum limits of trav- el outside the city. Also on all emergency calls to accidents out- side the City that the county as- sume the charges if not paid by the individual. I recommend that an ordinance be drawn up and submitted to the Council setting a new fee schedule and establishing limits of opera- tion outside the City. Respectfully submitted, L. J. SCHILTZ, City Manager Councilman Schueller moved that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved. Second- ed by Councilman Freund. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Kintzinger, Coun- cilmen Freund, Schueller, Takos, Welu. Nays-None. February 6, 1959 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: We have had a considerable number of inquiries regarding the changing of the two hour metered area south of West 1st Street on Main Street to a metered and a one hour parking area, and I have had a study made of this area. Many of the merchants located on this street feel that their busi- ness is seriously affected by the presence of long term porkers in front of their respective business houses. The only active opposition from this area in which meters may be installed comes from the management of the Western Gro- eery Company, This company has allowed their employees to park the clay in this vicinity and has indicated is not in favor of any project to create a higher rate of turnover. In view of the above situation it is believed that meters should be installed along this section of Main Street in such a manner as to make parking spaces readily avail- able for customers of retail stores. Meters placed on the west side of Main Street from the corner of West 1st south a distance of 230 feet would provide metered park- ing in front of Central Battery, McGhee Store and along side of Thompson's Tavern. Meters placed on the east side of Main Street from the corner of West 1st south a distance of 360 feet would provide metered parking in front of Western Gro- cery, Schroeder Motor Company, Tischhauser Motor Company, Main Hotel, Kaiser Paint Store, Farber Brothers and the White Front Feed Store.

In order to fulfill the require• meats of a Workable Program, the City must commit itself in its pro- gram to the attainment of essential objectives with respect to; 1. Codes and ordinances 2. Comprehensive community plan 3. Neighborhood analysis 4. Administrative organization 5. Financing 6. Housing for displaced families 7. Citizen participation From our conference it was the opinion that the City of Dubuque had complied with the provisions of a Workable Program through their past planning practices.
