August 5, 1957. As a special committee of the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce we first want to express our apprecia- tion to the City Council and City Officials for the conscientious and foresighted job that they have done during a very crucial time in the history of our city. Many projects of vital importance to the future of the city have been completed and others initiated. Such a pro• gram for the future costs money and we know that this increases the costs of City government. The proposed 1958 budget far the City of Dubuque is increased $450,569 or 12% with the tax asking up $128,000 or 6.6%, It is staggering to consider that the combined bud• get increases of the three taxing bodies total over one million dol- lars far 1958 with total tax askings up $715,820. As you know, this committee af- ter reviewing the Dubuque County budget protested that budget on two counts; first, the inequities of the appraisal values between city and county and, second, the 31% increase in monies proposed to be raised by taxes for county opera- tions, We intend to carry this mat- ter to the State for review. The committee has reviewed the proposed City budget and has con- cluded that it will not protest the budget as presented. However, we request that .the City Council and City Manager consider the follow- ing points: 1, It is requested that the City Council do everything possible to bring city and county prop- erty onto the same appraisal base. We would suggest that a formal request be submitted to the Board of Supervisors by the City Council asking that the county property be reappraised on the same basis as the city appraisal, 2. We know that the City Council is anxious to attract new in• dustry to Dubuque and to in- terest our present industries in expanding in Dubuque. This, along with the general public welfare, necessitates a close control on rising taxes, We hope that the City Manager will con- tinue to analyze every depart- mental budget thoroughly be- fore inclusion into budget totals and to review the expenditures under these budgets regularly. In conclusion, we want to ex• press our appreciation to the City Manager for providing detailed in• formation on the 1958 budget and explaining items of increase. We know that the combination of ef- ficient and forward looking govern- ment with interested and partici- pating citizens will make real pro- gress passible for Dubuque.. Special Committee of the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce Mr. George J. Hohmann of Loras Blvd, addressed the Council object- ing to the recent appraisal made on City Property. Tony Helling of 2390 Green Street addressed the Council stat- ing that if the new State law re- duces the number of working hours for the members of the ,fire de- partment, thereby creating an in- crease in expenditure in the public safety fund, approximately $73,000, how about the police department. Mr. James Flynn of 806 Lowell Street addressed the council, stat- ing that he was told when the real estate values were re-appraised even though the values would be increased the taxes would remain about the same. Mr. Dick Henschel of 690 Sulli- van Street addressed the Council by stating that if the taxes are raised it would mean that rents here in the City would be increased from five to ten percent. He also made inquiry about paying for sewage rental when the plant is not in operation as yet. Gene Wright, attorney, repre- senting the Dubuque Real Estate Board stated that the Board re- ceived many complaints from ten- ants. He declared many residents feel a breach of trust exists as to the amount of taxes to be paid in 1958. Many citizens were led to be• Regular Session, August 5, 1957 297 IIeve that the millage rate would be around 65 after the property values were re-appraised. With the new budget however the mill rate would be about 71. He suggested that the Council review the budget item by item and publish same. If there is any way the situation can be corrected it should be done, Mr. Peter J. Takos of 1500 S. Grandview Ave. addressed the Council declaring that the time has come to tighten up. Mr. Les Hartley of 1960 Ungs Street addressed the Council con- curring in the remarks made by Attorney Eugene Wright. Charles Allen of 122 Princeton Place, a comparative new comer to the City, stated that his taxes have practically tripled since he came here. Wayne Norman suggested that a formal request be submitted to the County Board of Supervisors by the Council asking that the County property be re-appraised on the same basis as the City, After considerable discussion on the subject of the budget Council- man Schueller moved that final ac- tion on the budget be postponed for another week to August 12, 1957 at 7:30 o'clock P.M. Daylight Saving Time in the Council Cham- ber at the City Hall. Seconded by Councilman Welu. Carried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Dove, Councilman Kolb, Schueller, Welu, Nays-None.

FROMMELT City Clerk Councilman Kolb moved the adoption of 'the resolution, Sec- onded by Councilman Schueller. Carried by the folowing vote, Yeas-Mayor Dove, Councilmen Kolb, Schueller, Welu. Nays-None, Absent-Councilman Kintzinger, August 5, 1957 To the Mayor and City Council of Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: At the Council meeting held July 1st, our company discussed certain changes which were under consid- eration with respect to the gas rates at Dubuque, Iowa, Since that time,. we 'have had a number of discussions with Mr. Eugene C, Lang, of Laramore, Douglass and Popham, your consultants. As outlined ~ta you in the meet- ing of July 1st, Northern Natural Gas Co., our suppliers of natural gas, has petitioned the Federal Power Commission to increase the cost of contract demand far natural gas 51'/z cents per MCF, or from $2,36 to $2,87~Z, Thjs increase will become effective during August 27, 1957, and if sustained by the Commission; will mean an addi- tional cost of gas to our company for the Dubuque: Division of $30,- 900.00 annually. In addition Ito this increase cost of gas, our labor rates were recently increased.. approxi- mately 7riz%, aggregating over $12,000 annually, Steel prices were increased effective the 1st of July at approximately $8.00 per ton, A1- so, other materials and supplies used by the gas company, as well as taxes will be increased. Notwithstanding these increases in our costs, in accordance with our discussions in the City Coun• cil of almost one year ago, our company is now proposing certain changes in the rates. set forth in Schedule I. This reduction, it is proposed; be made in the second step of 4,000 cubic feet from $2,50 per MFC to $2.00 per MFC. No further changes are proposed:. in Schedule h Should ,this proposal be approved by the City Council, it will make a rate reductioh of $23;000,00 to $25,000.00 annually and will effect approximately 4000 customers. The largest decrease in rates to a single customer will be $24.00 per year. The amount of such savings will vary in propor- tion to the customer's use of gas. Faced with this additional in- crease in the cost of gas and other materials, as well as the reduction in revenue in Schedule I, our com- pany sees no alternative buf to change Schedule II to some ex- tent. It is now proposed that the following be ;the rates under Sched~ ule II: lst 1000 cubic feet-$2,00, no change proposed Next 4,000 cubic feet-$1.65 per MFC, 2nd and 3rd' step com- bined and increased Next 45,000 cubic Meek-$.85 per MFC, no change proposed Next 50,000 cubic feet-$.80 per MFC, no change proposed All in excess of 100,000 cubic feet-$.75 per MFC, no change proposed Minimum monthly charge to be $1,96-Increased from $1.7i. I would like to point out that the change in Schedule II, if approved by the City Council, will not re- cover for the company the in- 316 Regular Session, August 5, 1957 creased cost of gas, labor, material, etc,, and recover hhe reduction in revenue which is proposed by Schedule I, Our company can only recover these additional costs and the reduction in revenue by in- creasing the load and adding addi- tional customers to Schedulo II. From a technical standpoint, the Schedule II rates do not increase the cast of gas for heating pur- poses if the customer is using gas for other purposes, inasmuch as the steps above 5,000 cubic feet are not changed. Our company is joining with other companies in an effort to re• duce hhe proposed 613'a cents in- crease being collected by Northern Natural Gas Co,, and if they are successful in this endeavor, be• cause the above changes and addi• ~tional costs increased for other items will not be recovered, our company feels that any refund should be retained by it. Our preliminary estimates, based upon 6 months actual for 1957 and estimated for the remaining 6 months, indicates that the com- pany, even if successful in adding the anticipated load will make less than a 6~Z% return on its proper- ties, such rate of return gives no effect ho the changed valuations and price levels, nor any effect to the losses experienced during the developmental years of 1954 and 1955, As previously. stated, these rape matters have been discussed with Mr, Lang, of 'Laramore, Douglass & Popham, and Mr. Schiltz, the City Manager, It is hoped that they are in accord with proposals pre• sented by our company. Very truly yours, NORTH CENTRAL PUBLIC SERVICE CO, W. F, Spurrier, Comptroller. August 5,1957 Mr. L: J, Schiltz City Manager Dubuque, Iowa Re: North Central Public Service Co, Dear Mr, Schiltz; We have reviewed the offers of the North Central Public Service Co. to make certain adjustment in Schedule I and Schedule II of their rapes, as contaiae~ in t~@jr lettQr to you dated July 8, 1957, and re• port as follows: Based upon operations for -the calendar year 1956, i~t was deter- mined that the proposed changes in Schedule I would result in a reduction in revenue of an esti- mated $23,552.00 for the full year were these changes effective dur• ing the entire year, thus confirm- ing the Company's statements rela- tive to these changes, Based upon operations for the first six months of the current year, these changes should result in an estimated reduction of $21; 770.00 in revenue, had they been in effect for the full twelve months because of hhe fewer number of customers taking gas under phis schedule than in 1956, Combining the second and third steps of Schedule II into one step whereby the firsh 4,000 cubic feet of gas after the first 1,000 cubic feet are ~to be charged for at the rate of $1.65 per 1,000 cubic feet, based upon operations for the year 1956, would result in an estimated increase in revenue of $30,396,00, or $6,844.00 in excess of the reduc• Lion in revenue due ho the changes proposed in Schedule I. Considering Schedule II changes for the calendar year 1957, and predicted on the first six months of the year's operations, it is estimated that, had they been in effect for the full year, they would produce an increase in revenue of $41,- 126.00, or $19,356,00 in excess of the reduction in revenue due ~to the proposed changes in Schedule h This because of hhe increased number of customers taking service under this schedule in 1957 khan in 1.956, The Company is again faced with an increase in the cost of gas at the city border effective August 27, 1957, as the Northern Natural Gas Co., has filed a request wihh the Federal Power Commission for permission to increase the price at which it sells gas ~to Nor#h Central 51~/z cents per M.C.F, of contract demand. This will add $30,900.00 to the annual cost of gas purchased for distribution in Dubuque. Hence, the increase in future revenue will not entirely offset the future in- creased cost of gas, Regardless of the proposed changes, the operations of the Regular Session, August 5, 1957 317 North Central Public Service Co; , ion that the new rate as proposed for the calendar year 1956 resulted for group number one was on an in a return of 5.05% on the value equitable basis, of~the property used and useful in Councilman Kolb moved that serving the public.

Meeting called by order of Mayor Dove, Mayor Dove read the call and stated that service thereof had been duly made and that this meet- ing is called for the purpose of adoption of the 1958 Budget of Expenditures for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1958 and end- ing December 31, 1958 and to con• Sider further the proposal of gas rate changes in schedule One and Two, final action on both of the above mentioned items being de- ferred from the regular meeting of August 5, 1957, and acting on any other business as may properly come before the meeting. August 12, 1957 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa Gentlemen: After carefully re- viewing the Budget Estimate for 1958 with your honorable body and considering each budget item; also considering the services now pro- vided by the City and the welfare of all city employees, it was the unanimous decision of the Council that the budget was carefully pre- pared and all items were necessary for the efficient operation of the City. Because the total increase in taxes of all local taxing bodies has caused objection to the city budget, certain items of capital expendi• tures can be deferred for one year or to a later date. These items ins elude reduction in the General Fund of $40,000,00 for part of the cost of a city garage to house city equipment; Street Fund of $40,000: 00 for part of the cost of engineer- ing and property acquisition for the 14th Street and Fengler Street overpass; Sanitation Fund of $25,- 000.00 for part of the cast of cover- ing the 14th Street sewer; Muni• cipal Enterprise-Dock Commisisoh of $4,000,00 for the city's portion of rehabilitation of the Shot Tower and the Municipal Enterprise-Air• port Commisison of $9,050,00 for part of the cost of a new hanger. These items add up to a total of $118,050.00 which more than off- sets the tax increase because we would have had a normal valuation increase in 1956 through new con- struction to more than offset the difference of $10,683.79 between the published budget estimate and the proposed changes, There should be an increase in the budget of all additions to the Pension Funds of $15,353.50 and to the Debt Service Fund of $25,- 950.00 or a total of $41,303.00. These additions however have been absorbed in the proposed changes. These proposed changes will re- duce the tax millage from 35.624 mills for 1957 to 30.150 mills for 1958, or a reduction of 15:4%. I recommend that the decision of the Council be confirmed to defer the capital improvement ex• penditures and delete them in the amounts listed from the 1958 Bud• get, Respectfully submitted, L. J. SCHILTZ, City Manager Councilman Kolb moved that the rules be suspended in order to let anyone present address the Coun= cil if they so desire. Seconded by Councilman Schueller.

Car- ried by the following vote: Yeas-Mayor Dove, Councilmen Kintzinger, Kolb, Schueller, Welu. Nays-None. August 8, 1957. Mayor and City Council Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen; After the Council Meeting adjourned on Monday, Au- gust 5th, your City Manager, Mr. L, J. Schiltz advised me the Coun- cil had further discussions relative to the gas rates in the City of Du- buque. Mr. Schiltz stated that the Council had requested him to con• fer with representatives of North Central Public Service Co, and to suggest modifications in the com~ pony's proposals. Briefly stated, these proposals were to proceed with the reduc- tion in Schedule 1, as presented to the City Council; but for Schedule 2 proposals be made to reflect only the increase that would result from the application of the escalator clause in the rate ordinance. It was also suggested that the sales pro- motion expenses be reduced to off- set the additional expenses for gas cost, labor, material, taxes, etc. not covered by the escalator ins crease. After the conference with Mr. Schiltz, Mayor Dove had further discussions with respect to the same question, at which times the effect of the increase in Schedule 2 on the load building program of the company was reviewed, After the discussion with both Mr. Schiltz and Mr, Dove it was stated that the matter would be presented to the Management of North Cen• tral Public Service Co., and the re• salts transmitted to the City Coun• cil. We have considered the pros posals made and do not believe it would be to the best interests of our Company and its customers in the City of Dubuque to altar our proposals. In this connection, we would like to 'point out that the sales promotion expenses includes not only the advertising but the entire cost of our heating depart- ment, their salaries, rental, taxes, etc. Therefore, if the Company were to eliminate all of its advertising, which apparently some feel could be done, the savings would be less than 40% of the total sales promo- Special Session, August 12, 1957 321 tion expense. Were it to curtail its sales promotion expenses, as sug- gested, only a limited portion of the additional expense which would be. incurred by it would be re- covered. We assure you that, notwith- standing the Council's interest in the load building accomplishments of the Company and your consult- ants views on the question, no one is more vitally interested in the load building program than the Management of our Company. The effect of this increase has been studied far a period of several months, and bill studies have been made to determine the effect. It is the Management's feeling. that the proposals made on Monday, August 5th, are necessary and aprpopriate. We hesitate to labor the situation but believe it necessary to again point. out that the increased cost, which the Company. will sustain during the next 12 months, will not be offset by the proposed increase in Schedule 2. It is the Manages ment's belief that teven if the load building program estimated by the Company is successful, the addi- tional costs'will not be recovered until the end of 1958. Please re- member these additional costs not recovered are in adidtion to the loss in revenue the Company will sustain by the reduction of the rates in Schedule 1. Our Management was somewhat disappointed that the proposals made to the City Council, regard- ing the proposed rate changes, were not approved. These pros posals, we assure you, were the re- suIt of, considerable studies on the part of our staff and several dis- cussions with Mr, Eugene Lang of Laramore, Douglas, and Popham Inc., your rate consultants. At no time during our discusisons with Mr, Lang did he state that the pro- posals to change the rates in Sched- ule 2 would have serious effect on the load building program. It was stated that, undoubtedly,' if the cost increased substantially the tendency would be to retard cons cersion to natural gas. However, it was pointed out that other fuel costs-were increasing in price, and the entire fuel situation would necessarily have to be considered before determining the full effect on the proposed change in Sched- ule 2, It should also be pointed out that Mr, Lang's studies showed that the Company was not earning a fair return in 1956,. and that the six months actual to June 30-plus six months estimated to December 31, indicated the Company would not make a fair return for the present year. It is realized that Councilman, Charles A, Kintzinger, was not press ent during the Council Meeting of August 5th, and that the other council members felt that it would be appropriate to defer action one week .at which time the entire council would be available. It is hoped that this will materialize on Monday, August 12th, and that the Council will approve our proposals which the Company believes to be eminently fair. As previously stated, there is considerable work to be done on the rate schedules and the timing must be such as to avoid the pos- sibility of making retroactive changes in the rates approved by the Council. It is therefore impera- tive that this matter be given the attention by the Council at the earliest possible moment. Very truly yours, NORTH CENTRAL PUBLIC SERVICE CO. W. F, Spurrier Comptroller Mr, Kisting of 1818 Garfiled Av- enue, chairman of the Trades & Labor Congress introduced a rep- resentative committee of labor who put some pointed questions rela• tive to the proposed gas rate changes. The average minimum rate over the country is slightly less than $1.15. The present Du- buque minimum is in the top; 15% of the country. and the committee felt that a raise fs unwarranted. Sol Tabak addressed the Coun- cil by stating that in his opinion Schedule One users are entitled to some relief. Mr. Stan Liedtke of 2095 Ogilby Road was. concerned 322 Special.

One of these accidents resulted in personal injury of two people, A further check of the records indicates that there were two prop- erty damage accidents at this inter- section in 1956 and also in 1955, signs erected at such an intersec- tion with low vehicle and pedes- trian volume leads people to adopt an attitude of disrespect for stop signs in general, While the stranger who -may be traversing such an in- tersection will almost always use caution, It is found that those most familiar with the intersection, through increasing familiarity with - the pecularities of the area, tend to adopt unsafe practices while trav- ersing these areas. It is recommended that no con- - trol signs or signals be erected at the intersection of 28th and White Streets. Respectfully submitted, L, J. SCHILTZ, City Manager.

Before considering the possibility of extending Central Avenue and White Street in a northerly direc- tion as one-way streets, there are .several things that must be con- sidered. One of the primary reasons for adopting one-way plans for the movement of traffic is for the more efficient movement of vehicular traffic, This consideration comes in- to being when the present street system begins to show signs of high congestion and extreme saturation by vehicular and pedestrian traffic. When evidence of such a situa- tion comes to light there must be a thorough investigation in order to determine whether or not the pres- ent system is -being used in the most advantageous manner. Although recent volume surveys have not been made on Central Avenue or White Street north of 22nd Street, it is the opinion of the Traffic Department that the satura- tion point has not been reached and the congestion pattern does not warrant the extension of these streets as one-way streets. Central Avenue north of 22nd is carrying a heavy load of traffic throughout 'the entire. day but has not reached a point where conges- tion is a common occurence. It is found that congestion does exist in the vicinity of 22nd Street during the peak traffic hours from 3:30 P. M, to 5;15 P. M., but traffic moves at a .normal rate of speed :during all other hours of the .day. August 12, 1957 In order to establish White Street and Central Avenue north of 22nd Street as one-way .streets, it would be necessary to consider the expen• diture of approximately $35,000.00 for the erection of necessary signs, the installation of school crossing signals and traffic lights. Also the improvement of the intersection of 24th and White and the intersection of 22nd and White, Another consideration that would have to be taken in mind is that of extending the primary road sys- tem over these streets. Thia change would have to receive the approval of he .State Highway Commission. From the experience of the Traf- fic Division of the Police Depart- ment, Central Avenue is not being used to the extent to warrant such a change at the present time, Since the time of the adoption of the one- way street plan in the area south of 22nd Street, the congestion or accident picture for the area north of 2Znd has not measurably changed. There is no noticeable in- crease in the number of accidents involving vehicles or pedestrians, nor is there any noticeable increase in the total estimated property loss. It is our opinion that the minor congestion that now exists on Cen- tral Avenue .during the peak traffic hours can be eliminated by more efficient use of the traffic control system now in place at 22nd and Central.

Gentlemen: The petition of CIar- ence C. Fay requesting the exten- sion of the city water main to his lot at the city limits on -the 'Rock- dale Road was referred to the City Manager and Water Department for investigation and report. There is an existing 8" water main within 600 feet of the city limits which eventually will serve about six residences, This main could be extended at an estimated cost of $4,000.00. It has never been the policy of the City to extend a main this far for one person and because of the cost, I feel we should not do so atthis time. We have insufficient 8" pipe on hand to make this extension even though approval were given. Mr. Fay could connect to the end of the water line on Blackhawk Drive and run a service line along an easement to the highway and then to his lot. Respectfully submitted, L, J. SCHH,TZ, City Manager.

Gentlemen; The petition of the Sherrill Fire Department regarding the use of city water from hydrants awned by the Brunswick Industrial Block was referred to the Fire Chief, Water Superintendent and myself for investigation and report. The hydrants are privately owned but are supplied water through city mains. Water from these mains is connected to the sprinkling system thronghout the Brunswick build- ings, The hydrants could not be used by anyone other than the Du- buque Fire Department if and when there is a fire in the Brunswick Block or vicinity, If a fire threatened any building under our protection our depart- ment would take the proper action to place the fire under control. There is also proper action for these people to take if they desire the city services that residents of Dubuque support through city tax• es. I therefore recommend denial of the petition, Respectfully submitted, L, J. SCHILTZ, City Manager.

C, Hefel and John P, Page request- ' ing permission to connect to the city water main at Jackson Street at a point half-way between Garnet and Ruby Streets was referred to the City Manager and Water De- partment for investigation and report. I have had the Water Department investigate this request and find that both properties are located outside the city limits. There is a six-inch water main on Jackson Street to which they could connect a one-inch service line to their properties. It is recommended that approval be given to connect to the water main on Jackson Street provided that the service line is constructed by the property owners and is lo- cated two feet north of the south property line and also that they pay $2:00 per front foot of the lot or lots of the property they own.
