6. Recommended Updates in Enforcement Regarding Unhoused Residents: Motion by Jones
to receive and file the documents and that the requirement that a proposed ordinance be con-
sidered and voted on for passage at two council meetings prior to the meeting at which it is to
be passed be suspended. Seconded by Farber. Assistant City Manager Burbach and Housing
and Community Development Director Steger made a presentation. Responding to questions
from the City Council, City Manager Van Milligen stated that the Dubuque County Police De-
partment’s social worker is solely responsible for brain health calls. City Manager Van Milligen
further stated that additional staff may be provided to network partners for the proposed second
responder model, rather than additional city staff. Ms. Steger stated that a homeless coalition
consisting of the city and network partners meets to discuss topics on homelessness , and that
coalition would provide input on the current homeless situation and enforcement mechanisms.
Assistant City Manager Burbach stated that city departments viewed these proposed code up-
dates as an internal conversation to clean up code language , but that staff can improve com-
munications with network partners on these types of changes going forward. City Attorney Brum-
well stated that the inoperable vehicle ordinance addresses situations beyond homelessness,
and that updating that ordinance will give police officers more effective enforcement tools. As-
