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 Protects, 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. Recommendation Staff recommends review and approval of the CY2025 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 CY2026, recently reviewed and voted on with unanimous support at the February 16, 2026 HPC meeting. The SHPO also requires signature by Mayor Cavanagh of the enclosed certification for the report.
