INTRODUCTION
Attached for City Council approval are the Contracted Services Agreements with seven
agencies for the City's financial support for Fiscal Year 2026.
DISCUSSION
The adopted Fiscal Year 2026 operating budget provides a payment of:

19, which places new legal parameters on the language, practices, and programming
Page 116 of 678
related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within state and local government
operations. In response to this legislation, necessary adjustments have been made to the
contracts to ensure full compliance while maintaining our commitment to respectful,
lawful, and effective public service.
Due to a change in an audit reporting process added to the FY2026 Travel Dubuque
agreement, a separate staff memo is also attached to the council agenda item to provide
those details.

SUBJECT: Contracted Services Agreement — Travel Dubuque/Dubuque Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau
DATE: June 18, 2025
INTRODUCTION
Attached for City Council Approval is the Contracted Services Agreement with Travel
Dubuque/Dubuque Area Convention and Visitors Bureau for Fiscal Year 2026.
DISCUSSION
The Adopted Fiscal Year 2026 operating budget provides a payment of $1,759,691 to
Travel Dubuque. This amount represents 50% of the hotel/motel tax received by the City
for the period of October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023. Payment will be made to
the Dubuque Area Convention and Visitors Bureau in four equal quarterly installments of
$439,922.75.
In addition, the contract commits an annual budget allocation of $7,500 for activities
related to staffing the Sister City Committee. These activities are listed in the
Memorandum of Understanding attached to the contract. The City pays an annual
membership in the amount of $810.00 to Sister City International.
A change to note in the FY2026 contract related to Travel Dubuque's audit. In the past,
Travel Dubuque appointed an Audit Committee to review and approve the audit,
consisting of the Treasurer of Dubuque Chamber of Commerce Board; City of Dubuque
Chief Financial Officer; City of Dubuque Finance Manager; County of Dubuque Budget
Director; and Treasurer of Dubuque Main Street. Recent practice has been to have an
accounting firm present the audit for approval to the full Travel Dubuque Board of
Directors which includes the Mayor, a Councilmember, and the City Manager. The
Page 118 of 678
approved audit is then provided to City Chief Financial Officer, Jenny Larson. This
practice is now reflected in the contract's language.
The reporting requirements are as follows:
1. Progress reports will be submitted quarterly.
2. Quarterly reports will be submitted using a form on the City's Website.
3. Quarterly reports will include equity and inclusion reporting.
4. Audit reports are due within 60 days of audit completion instead of 60 days after
year-end.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
It is my recommendation that the City Council approve the attached Contracted
Services Agreement with Travel Dubuque/Dubuque Area Convention and Visitors
Bureau and authorizes the Mayor to execute the contract on behalf of the City.
