TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing and Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Sale of City-owned property at 1100 Roosevelt Street
DATE: April 24, 2019
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request approval of the attached purchase agreement
and special warranty deed for the sale of City-owned real property located at 1100 Roosevelt
Street.
Background
The City took legal action by petitioning the courts for ownership. The City received
ownership of property after petition to the courts on February 13, 2019.
Discussion
Dubuque and Jackson County Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) approached the City to see if
there were any properties that would be suitable for a family in need of assistance. This
property was identified to have great potential to rehabilitate, but the City would not have the
resources to complete the rehabilitation for another two years. Habitat will be able to
rehabilitate the property and sell it to an income-qualifying household under 80% median
income.
This will help keep ownership in the neighborhood and increase the tax base. This also
meets the Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) objectives of increasing homeownership
opportunities for low-moderate income households throughout the City of Dubuque.
The 21-year restrictive covenant has been placed on this property with the following
provisions: The real estate will be restricted for owner-occupied single-family residential use.
Rental of the real estate is not allowed. No portion of the real estate can be rented as an
apartment.
On April 15, 2019, the City Council, passed Resolution No. 140-19 declaring its intent to
dispose of City-owned property at 1100 Roosevelt Street.
Recommendation
I respecffully request the City Council passes, approves and adopts the attached Resolution
and Special Warranty Deed for the sale of 1100 Roosevelt Street.
