Significant Line Items at Maintenance Level
(Without Recommended Improvement Packages)
Purchase of services activities are those services that the City feels fit the goals and priorities of
the City and are not required to be provided or would not be provided in the normal course of City
business.
Contracted services are services that the City would have within its organization regardless of who
provides the service. Contracted services in many cases leverage other resources that would not
normally be available to the City. An example is the Dubuque Humane Society which provides a
heightened level of service for animal control over what the City would provide for animals. Greater
Dubuque Development Corporation started a "Destination for Opportunity" campaign for business
retention and expansion, retention and recruitment of workforce, and new business recruitment, of
which the City makes up $2.5 million of an over $6 million overall budget.
Based on the above definitions, the following services are reported in the Economic Development
Department in contracted services: Dubuque Chamber of Commerce payment of 50% of hotel /

motel tax for marketing $776,928; Dubuque Area Labor Management Council $30,000; Dubuque
Main Street $57,550; Project HOPE $69,445 and Greater Dubuque Development Corporation
$276,613. The following services are reported in the Housing and Urban Development Department
in miscellaneous services: Washington Neighborhood Development Corporation $105,000 and
Every Child Every Promise grants program $25,000. In addition, the Humane Society contract for
animal control is reported in the Health Services Department $118,087.

This decision package would assist the Dubuque Art Center to expand its free community outreach
programming for at -risk and disadvantaged residents to serve over 250 new students in 2010.
These programs will target 130 at -risk youth through after school, weekend, and summer
programs, 60 impoverished senior citizens through programs at assisted living facilities, 40
homeless men and women at the mission, Maria House, Theresa Shelter, and Manasseh House,
and 20 sexual /physical abuse victims at Riverview Center. These will be new programs; there are
currently no similar programs offered in the City, despite the need.
The average cost to provide high quality arts programming is $160 per individual served and
includes material, equipment, instructor, insurance facility, and administrative expenses. This
request is for the City to provide $20,000, which is 50% of the total cost. This will allow the
Dubuque Art Center to leverage the additional funding required from business sponsors and the
Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs. In the long term, the cost of this program is low and
participation in arts programs has been shown to improve academic achievement, civic
engagement, reduce drop -out levels, and help facilitate mental acuity in seniors.
In addition, the Dubuque Art Center's free community outreach programs address the City's
mission and goals by providing engaging arts experiences for youth and seniors by providing
valuable human development services, by increasing Dubuque's cultural sustainability, by helping
reduce crime and gang activity, and by addressing at least three of the promises made by Every
Child I Every Promise. The Dubuque Art Center does not qualify for operational support from the
Arts and Cultural Affairs commission, since it is only one year old and the requirement is two years.

This decision package would help Four Mounds bridge the gap of funding for leading the HEART
partnership in the Washington Neighborhood as it is expanded using the YouthBuild as a model.
The City of Dubuque has been a critical partner in the HEART program since its inception in 2003.
Four Mounds and the City of Dubuque have helped to grow and build a program that is meeting
the needs of the community's youth and the Washington Neighborhood.
The HEART partnerships have been significantly restructured to include NICC as a critical partner.
HEART is supporting its participants as AmeriCorps members and is the first YouthBuild chapter in
Iowa to do so. HEART has also entered a partnership with the local WIA office to further support
yourth and reach those that have multiple barriers to success. Additionally, HEART is helping the
Iowa Workforce development (IWD) in Des Moines and Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service
(ICVS) to develop a statewide AmeriCorps program for all YouthBuild participants. It will be
structured to reach those youth that are most -in -need, including ex- offenders and adjudicated
persons.
