DEPARTMENTAL
BUDGET REVIEW
Housing and Com-
munity Development
Department: Housing
and Community Devel-
opment Department Di-
rector David Harris
presented the Fiscal
Year 2011 budget for
this department. Re-
sponding to questions
from City Council, Har-
ris stated that the
number of Family Self -
Sufficiency (FSS) pro-
gram vouchers is work-
able. He stated that
changes in the Section
8 program are already
producing results and
that the Homeless Pre-
vention and Rapid Re -
Housing program is be-
ing outsourced to Proj-
ect Concern. Harris
added that if the num-
ber of Section 8 pro-
gram vouchers is re-
duced, it is unlikely the
number 'can be in-
creased in future
years. Van Milligen
stated that he has fro-
zen the issuance of
new Section 8 program
vouchers and is recom-
mending resources
needed to make the
system work more effi-
ciently and other op-
tions will be consid-
ered if the 900 cap on
vouchers is not man-
ageable. Community
Development Advisory
Commission Member
Ann Michalski, 1520 Al-
tura Street, expressed
her concern over re-
scinding vouchers for
the handicapped. Jen-
ny Manders, 1990 Ellis
Street, expressed her
concern over leaving
unused funding "on the
table" and the needs of
the elderly. Van
Milligen stated that
vouchers are not re-
scinded but processed
on a preference point
system. More research
is being done to define
"disabled" to more
readily serve appli-
cants adding that there
are other programs
available in addition to
Section 8. Jerry Maro,
10366 Timothy Street,
speaking on behalf of
the Dubuque Landlords
Association, stated
that landlords can ben -
fit from renters re-
eiving Section 8 if
hey are genuinely in
need of the program
and added that the As-
ociation voted to sup-
port the City Manag-
er's recommendation
o place a freeze on is-
suing new vouchers
and capping the num-
ber at 900.

partment: Planning

sented the Fiscal Year

ing to questions from

ment: Economic Devel-
opment Director Dave
Heiar presented the

et for this department.

and Lynch agreed that
the requested improve-
ment package provid-
ing $25,000 to the Con-
vention and Visitors
Bureau tqassist with
expenses associated
with the 2010 RAGBRAI
should be reconsidered
if funds are available at
the end of the current
fiscal year. CVB Direc-
tor Keith Rahe stated
that RAGBRAI has a
.positive economic im-
pact on the community
and explained that
these funds are needed
for assistance with po-
lice, fire, trolleys, park-
ing, fencing, security,
etc. as actual event ex-
penses approach
$85,000.
Parking Division:
Parking Division Super-
visor Tim Horsfield pre-
sented the Fiscal Year
2011 budget for this
department. Respond-
ing to questions from
City Council, Horsfield
stated that expanding
the Locust Street ramp
maintenance shop will
result in the loss of on-
ly two parking stalls.
Lighting in the same
ramp will be replaced
with new, efficient
lighting as part of a
scheduled lighting up-
grade. Horsfield will
consider naming op-
portunities and sign -
age for the City's park-
ing facilities if so di-
rected.
