INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to recommend to the City Council two projects for funding
from the Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant program.
BACKGROUND
In 2013, the City Council approved the Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant program
to catalyze community leaders in the Sustainable Dubuque initiative. The grants are
available to any residents, non-profits or businesses who propose a project that
addresses at least one of the twelve sustainability principles and includes an element of
community engagement or education in their project.
DISCUSSION
A citizen committee reviewed the five applications submitted in this quarter. The
following are recommended for funding:
Organization Project Amount
Crescent Community Health Patient Advisory Committee $11400
Center
Dubuque Tree Advocates Dubuque Tree Advocate Startup $2,300
Total recommended funding is $3,700. This leaves $6,800 available in FY2017. The
next deadline for the grant applications will be October April 1, 2017.
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request City Council approval of the recommended funding for the
Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant detailed above.
