MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager`00�
SUBJECT: Request Work Session Date for Source of Income Update
DATE: October 28, 2015
On December 15, 2014, the City Council approved the staff recommendation for an
alternative process related to the Source of Income issue than the Source of Income
ordinance process offered by the Human Rights Commission.
The Mayor and City Council directed the City Manager, through Human Rights Director
Kelly Larson, Housing and Community Development Director Alvin Nash, and Planning
Services Manager Laura Carstens, to work with Assistant City Attorney Crenna
Brumwell, Dubuque Landlords' Association President Jerry Maro, Housing Commission
Chair Jim Holz, Zoning Advisory Commission Chair Patrick Norton, Long Range
Planning Advisory Commission Chair John Pregler, Community Development Advisory
Commission Chair Theresa Caldwell, Human Rights Commission Chair Anthony Allen
and a representative from the Resident Advisory Board (Board charged with providing
Section 8 resident input into the policies and operating procedures of the Housing
Choice Voucher rental program) to collect data and study this issue as a Committee
over the next two years to determine the best course of action based on the factual
situation in Dubuque.
Staff and the Source of Income Committee have been collecting data and studying the
issue. We would like to provide the City Council with an update at a work session in
December, as we will be halfway through the process. We request a Source of Income
work session be scheduled on Monday, December 21, 2015 from 5:15 - 6:15 PM.
Thank you.
