DUBUQUE, Iowa – As Dubuque Mayor Roy D. Buol’s term comes to a close, he reflects on his time in office and offers his final “State of the City” address to the Dubuque community.

“It has truly been an honor to serve the citizens of this great city. From the beginning, it was about engaging with residents, addressing challenges, and ensuring a better future for our children and grandchildren,” said Buol.

Buol, the longest-serving mayor in Dubuque’s history, was first elected in 2005. Before being elected mayor, he served 10 years as the Second Ward Representative to the City Council.

The text version of the Winter 2021-22 State of the City appears in the November/December issue of the City News newsletter currently being mailed to utility customers. A video version is airing on CityChannel Dubuque (on Mediacom channels 8 and 117.2 and online at www.cityofdubuque.org/media) and was also distributed through the City’s social media channels.
