Background The annual report is a form submitted by all Iowa CLGs to the State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI). Under the CLG agreement with the State, the HPC is responsible for submitting an annual report that summarizes the City of Dubuque's historic preservation work and accomplishments. This report and workplan are requirements of maintaining the City of Dubuque's CLG status. The workplan helps guide the Commission's work, and it defines priorities as we write grants to do the work required as a CLG. The workplan has three goals- Survey & Registration Projects, Preservation Input and Work, and Outreach & Education. This workplan relates to a $10,000 annual budget request for seed funding utilized to garner grants that support survey and education work taken on by the Commission. We are currently undertaking surveys of two 201n Century Neighborhoods- Deereville and Voelker Highlands using CLG program grants. Recommendation Staff recommends review and approval of the CY2024 CLG Annual report for submission to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). This report includes a recommendation from the HPC to include the draft HPC Workplan for the CY2025, recently reviewed and voted on with unanimous support at the February 20, 2025 HPC meeting. The SHPO also requires signature by Mayor Cavanagh of the enclosed certification for the report.

No 26. What training topic would be most helpful for your Historic Preservation Commission? In light of the implementation of a Programmatic Agreement for Section 106, it would be helpful to have a virtual or in -person program staff training from the SHPO. What kinds of special districts are in other cities? 27. Suggestions for improvement The CLG program is here to support the Historic Preservation Commissions across Iowa. Do you have any suggestions for how we can improve our services to your commissions? Removing the gender balance requirement has made filling positions less complicated, especially when layered with the district representative requirement for HPCs. Another way to allow for more qualified people to serve is to, for historic district representatives, allow either residents or property owners, so long as they are residents in the City limits. Not a suggestion for improvement, but just a reminder that Chris Happ Olson is the appropriate staff (not the chair) to send formal requests, knowing not all commissions have staff. 28.
