RESPONSIBILITY:Housing Department
Purchase of services activities are those services that the City feels fit the goals and priorities of the
City and are not required to be provided or would not be provided in the normal course of City business.
In Fiscal Year 2014, an application process was implemented for the funding of purchase of service
agencies.
The FY 2026 budget recommends an allocation of $100,000 in General Fund and $0 in Community
Development Block Funds for a total of $100,000 to fulfill some of the recommendations of the
Community Development Advisory Commission.
The recommendation of the Community Development Advisory Commission will be made to City
Council after the FY 2026 budget is adopted on April 28, 2025.
The following purchase of service agencies have received funding in the past:
Agency FY 2025 Funding Source
Four Mounds $21,220 General Fund
Four Oaks $12,500 General Fund
Iowa Legal Aid $5,000 General Fund
Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging $4,280 General Fund
Presentation Lantern $20,000 General Fund
St. Mark Youth Enrichment $25,000 General Fund
Waypoint $12,000 General Fund
Total $100,000
Contracted services are services that the City would have within its organization regardless of who
provides the service. Contracted services in many cases leverage other resources that would not
normally be available to the City. An example is the Dubuque Humane Society which provides a
heightened level of service for animal control over what the City would provide for animals.
The following agencies have received or are being recommended to receive funding as contracted
services within other departments:
