Administration of the CED supports the City Council goal of Partnership for a Better Dubuque: Building a Community that is Viable, Livable, and Equitable. DMS currently applies for an Arts Operating Grant to support its CED administration, but this grant is meant for nonprofit organizations who have a primary mission to provide the general public with programs or activities in areas directly concerned with arts, arts education, or cultural heritage. The request is $8,500. A 5% increase to the current contracted service agreement is recommended.

The Dream Center program provides students with year-round holistic services that include continued School Day Curriculum, Healthy Meals, Skill/Character Development, and more. Academic success is largely built on skills and concepts students learn in grades K–3. High- quality assessments can pinpoint student trouble spots before they become problems with a long- lasting impact. The City of Dubuque's support would allow focus on continuing to impact children of low- income and working families.Becoming a licensed childcare facility means access to affordable childcare for working families. The program would be established to assist low-income families that do not meet the Department of Human Services requirements for financial childcare assistance but cannot afford the annual program fees. The City recently funded a $276,000 funding gap for capital improvements and a $15,000 planning grant for those improvements. The City currently funds a $60,000 contracted service agreement. Recommendation is an additional $3,000.

Funds would support St. Mark’s after school programs offered during the 2023-2024 academic year in Dubuque for students attending Audubon, Lincoln, and Marshall Elementary. These programs fill a gap for working families and students that are struggling with academic and social emotional skills. St. Mark currently has 28 students on our waitlist for these programs. City of Dubuque funding will support St. Mark is at a critical time to increase our capacity to reduce the number of students on our waitlist. Related Cost:$ 50,000 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend - No Total Cost:$ 50,000 Property Tax Impact:$ 0.0197 0.20% Activity: Administration -70- 5 of 9 This improvement package request is to secure up to 15 licenses with BaseCamp, an online project management tool. BaseCamp, as recommended by IS, is currently being tested by staff and Commissioners to facilitate efficient public / private collaboration, providing the ability to assigning and managing tasks and progress related to the Commission’s 2022-26 Strategic Plan and the Arts & Culture Master Plan. The 15 licenses will be assigned to 2 staff members, 7 Commissioners, and up to 6 additional individuals leading projects and activities within Working Groups of the Arts & Culture Master Plan. Licenses are billed monthly at the non-profit rate of $9 per user. The use of BaseCamp by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs is a scalable model that has the potential to be used by other departments to facilitate more effective public / private workflows on other City plans. This request supports City Council goals of 1) Diverse Arts, Culture, Parks, and Recreation Experiences and Activities, 2) Partnership for a Better Dubuque: Building Our Community that is Viable, Livable, and Equitable, 3) Financially Responsible, High-Performance City Organization: Sustainable, Equitable, and Effective Service Delivery, and supports continued implementation of specific strategies within the Arts & Culture Master Plan. Related Cost:$ 1,620 Tax Funds Recurring Recommend - No Property Tax Impact:$ 0.0006 0.01% Activity: Arts and Cultural Affairs 6 of 9 This improvement package request is to build upon the FY 2023 NEA-funded part-time (.50 FTE), limited-term grants administration assistant to add a full-time (1.00 FTE) support position at GE-32, per Human Resources. This position will administer all aspects of ongoing Arts & Culture grant programs plus support the writing and management of external grants. The request includes technology to facilitate their work. As the cross-departmental collaborations and community engagement work continues to grow for the current Arts & Cultural Affairs Manager, continuing and expanding the current part-time position will ensure efficient and effective implementation and improved reporting of the City’s arts and culture grant programs. This position will also assist with Tyler processes related to grant processing, alleviating increased workload of our department’s half-time Clerk, as well as assisting in securing outside grants for arts and culture and communications related to the City’s arts and culture activities. The NEA-funded part time, limited term .50 FTE position will be ending, but if the position was maintained for FY 2024, the recurring personnel cost would be $35,108 and the non-recurring technology cost would be $3,150.

Funds will be used to cover space rental, food costs, event supplies such as flipcharts and markers, and event promotion. The Creative Café events are free to attend and held in neutral, non-arts spaces, attracting 25-40 attendees per event with BIPOC creatives typically representing 20-25% in attendance. The goal of these events is to build trusting, authentic relationships within Dubuque creative community to cultivate access and opportunity.
