SUBJECT: Termination of CDBG-CV Agreement between the City of Dubuque and
Dubuque for Refugee Children
DATE: July 25, 2022
Introduction
The City of Dubuque entered into a subrecipient agreement with Dubuque for Refugee
Children on February 21, 2022 for $7,500 to provide direct payments to service
providers to assist refugee children financially impacted by COVID-19, with medical and
dental bills. Due to the requirements of the grant funding, it has proven to be more
burdensome to Dubuque for Refugee Children than anticipated, and the organization
has requested that the agreement be terminated. No payments were requested, and no
funding has been released to the organization.
Background
The City of Dubuque received funding in the amount of $521,469 from the Iowa
Economic Development Authority in the form of Community Development Block Grant
CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds, so all activities must tie back to the "prevent, prepare,
respond" model with COVID-19. Nonprofit Support Grants were allocated $100,000 to
support local organizations working with community members impacted by the
pandemic. The maximum award amount is $15,000.
Recommendation
I respectfully request the City Council approve the attached Termination Agreement with
Dubuque for Refugee Children and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on
behalf of the City.
