SUBJECT: Sale of City-Owned Property at 1100 Roosevelt Street

Housing and Community Development Director Alexis Steger recommends the City
Council set a public hearing for June 3, 2019, on the disposal of City-owned real

TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing and Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Sale of City-owned property at 1100 Roosevelt Street
DATE: May 16�h, 2019
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council to set a Public Hearing
for the purpose of disposing of City-owned real property located at 1100 Roosevelt Street.
Background
The City took legal action by petitioning the courts for ownership. The City received
ownership of property after petition to the courts on February 13, 2019.
Discussion
Dubuque and Jackson County Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) approached the City to
see if there were any properties that would be suitable for a family in need of
assistance. This property was identified to have great potential to rehabilitate, but the
City would not have the resources to complete the rehabilitation for another two years.
Habitat will be able to rehabilitate the property and sell it to an income-qualifying
household under 80% median income.
This will help keep ownership in the neighborhood and increase the tax base. This also
meets the Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) objectives of increasing
homeownership opportunities for low-moderate income households throughout the City
of Dubuque.
The public hearing was originally scheduled for May 6, 2019 was rescheduled for further
inspection of the property by City prior to closing on the transaction. A further extension of
the rescheduled public hearing of May 20, 2019 is necessary to resolve issues discovered
in the follow-up inspection prior to closing.
Recommendation
I respecffully request the City Council approve the attached resolution, declaring the
City's intent to dispose of the property and set the date for the public hearing to receive
comments on the proposed sale.
