Dubuque Five Flags Civic Center Online Community Survey Dubuque Five Flags Civic Center Online Community Survey Summary of Quantified Responses and Verbatim Open-Ended Responses Survey Date: June 14, 2017 through June 28, 2017 Total Responses: 1,086 A. Survey Questionnaire The Five Flags Civic Center has long served as an important community asset for DubuQue and its residents. Its long history can be traced back to the mid-1800 with the opening of hotel and theater facilities in downtown DubuQue. Over the years, Five Flags has served as a critical gathering place in DubuQue, hosting thousands of entertainment, performing arts, sports, conventions, and civic events. The two primary elements of the current Five Flags Civic Center are the 4,000-seat Arena and the 700- seat historic performing arts Theater. In the decades since the last major investment in Five Flags, significant changes have occurred within the event facility industry nationwide. At the same time, additional new event, sports and entertainment facilities have been developed elsewhere in DubuQue and in the region. As such, the City of DubuQue is interested in determining the most appropriate path forward as it relates to the Five Flags Civic Center and its ongoing role in Dubuque. To assist this decision-making, the City has retained an experienced consulting team to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study regarding the future strategy for the Five Flags Civic Center. A key component of this study involves outreach to DubuQue residents to share their voices and opinions regarding the future of Five Flags. This survey is your opportunity to participate in the process to determine the future of the Five Flags Civic Center and the related strategies that will impact downtown DubuQue for years to come. Please be as candid with your responses as possible and know that the information you provide will NOT be added to any type of sales-related database, nor will we attribute your name, email address or other identifying information to the overall results.

REPORT OF OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES ITEM #1 – Mark Gleason, General Manager informed the Council that the Department of Recreation Summer Program has come to an end. The annual pool party for our residents was held this past Monday. The City had to close the pool earlier than was hoped this year due to a lack of Lifeguards. A majority of the City’s Lifeguards are college students who left for college this weekend. The City did not have enough Lifeguards to keep the pool open. The City is currently trying to recruit Lifeguards. Mr. Gleason requested that anyone who may be interested in working as a Lifeguard or may know someone who is interested to please contact his office. Mr. Gleason noted that the City had two successful Recreation Programs this summer which were the men’s and women’s basketball leagues. The men’s league added 4 new teams with over 100 participants.

  • Leroy Chatfield 1963-1973
    LeRoy Chatfield 1963–1973 The NFWA, etc. Documentation Project “Cesar Chavez and His Farmworker Movement” Dedication: To each volunteer in the farmworker movement who worked with such energy, dedication, and self-sacrifice to build the first farm labor union in the history of the United States. If I have anything to say about it, your good work will not go undocumented. Chapter One Interview with Professor Paul Henggeler In Memoriam: Paul R Henggeler Professor of History, University of Texas–Pan American December 12, 2004 I never met Professor Henggeler in person nor talked with him on the telephone. Our only communication was by way of letter and email. He first wrote in November of 2002, asking for my cooperation by answering some of his questions about Cesar Chavez. I agreed to do so, but only in writing. For the next six months he asked pages of questions, and I answered them. It was this exchange with Professor Henggeler that laid the groundwork for the creation of the farmworker documentation project, which began in May of 2003. Now, 20 months later, 188 essays have been written, several thousand emails have been exchanged, and almost 1000 former farmworker movement volunteers have been identified and contacted. All of this can be traced back to the research of one young academic historian. But now he is gone. Not yet 50 years old, he died of an apparent heart attack on July 22, 2004. What a great loss. I know nothing about him personally, except that he was married. I know from our correspondence that he spent the past six years of his life researching and writing about “Cesar Chavez’s leadership of the farmworker movement.” In one of my last communications with Paul, he wrote, “Hi, LeRoy: I can’t thank you enough for the CD-ROM (the essays) and your decision to get folks ‘talking’ about their experiences in the UFW before it all evaporates.” For my part, I cannot thank Paul enough for his support, and affirmation of the documentation project.
