• Currently, there are 124 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Iowa in 30 counties. 6
cases are reported in Dubuque. Community spread is happening
• We have formed the Dubuque County public health Incident Management team
consisting of City of Dubuque Health Services Department (Mary Rose Corrigan)
Dubuque County Health Department, (Patrice Lambert) VNA (Stacey Killian) and
the Dubuque County Emergency Management Agency (Tom Berger) , along with
both hospitals. We have a joint Public Health Emergency Preparedness Plan
with many annexes covering a variety of public health emergencies including
newly emerging diseases and outbreaks like Coronavirus. We have direct
access to the IDPH 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are also part of the
state and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Health Alert
Network (HAN).) We are coordinating our response efforts in conjunction with
the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and with guidance from CDC.
Communicable disease nurses at VNA are conducting public health follow up for
COVID-19 diagnosed cases and their contacts.
• We are preparing a plan to conduct community wide testing, should that be
advised and test kits become available.
• The guidance from our incident management team and from the IDPH and CDC
will continue to change, based on new cases, the number of cases and the
ongoing epidemiological in Iowa and the U.S.
• A Joint Information System (JIS)/ Joint Information Center is set up among key
health care providers and the city and county. Randy Gehl is leading this effort
• I am giving regular live updates via city council meetings and on other days, live
Facebook updates
• Factors the IDPH and Governor Reynolds use to determine mitigation and
closure recommendations: (and keep in mind these factors may change)
➢ % of population 65 and older
➢ % of cases requiring hospitalization
➢ Rate of cases/100,000 population in the last 14 days (last incubation
period)
➢ # of outbreaks (ie in long term care centers etc)
➢ Experience and results of other states' mitigation and closure actions -
are these actions making a difference in flattening the curve/decreasing
cases?

Dubuque has a "COAD" (Community Organizations Active in Disaster) that has been
engaged in planning and preparation well before this incident. The COAD is co-chaired
by the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque and the United Way of Dubuque
Area Tri-States. There are nine subcommittees that fall within the COAD. The COAD is
currently activated and has established the COVID-19 Disaster Relief Fund.
The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque (CFGD) and the United Way of
Dubuque and the Tri-States (United Way) are the overarching organizations who are
coordinating the COVID-19 identification of needs and resources amongst non-profit
institutions. Human Rights Director Kelly Larson and Neighborhood Development
Specialist Jerelyn O'Connor are the City liaisons to these institutions and are
participating in weekly conference calls hosted by United Way. These calls began on
March 19, 2020 and include human services non-profit organizations from across the
community.
In addition, the Human Rights Department is coordinating an Equitable Emergency
Management Committee that is tasked with keep lines of communication open with
neighborhood leaders and community leaders in various underrepresented communities
that may not be directly connected to specific non-profit organizations or that may be
fearful of accessing services. This group is being coordinated by Community
Engagement Coordinator Temwa Phiri and Organizational Equity Coordinator
Collins Eboh. Additional committee members include Sustainability Coordinator Gina
Bell, Neighborhood Development Director Jerelyn O'Connor, Dubuque Community
School District Equity Coordinator Taj Suleyman, UD Director of Multicultural Student
Engagement James Sizer, Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque Knowledge
Management Coordinator Alex Baum, and Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque
Equity Coordinator Clara Lopez -Ortiz. This group will be meeting virtually once per
week. The information they discover will be captured here and shared on the United
Way weekly calls.
Each week, Kelly Larson and Jerelyn O'Connor will provide the City Manager with a
summary of identified needs and resources.
Week 1: March 16-March 20, 2020
Establishment of COVID-19 Disaster Relief Fund
The COAD established this fund with the CFGD managing the fund as the fiscal agent.
There is a long term recovery committee designated to review and process needs and
applications and direct funding where necessary. This is stop -gap funding — currently
available resources should be utilized first. Application is being created and will be
available soon on the CFGD website. A donation option will be added to the website as
well. Funding as of March 19 was at $350,000 with the expectation of being at
$500,000 by the end of the week. Today, initial grants were made to these
organizations:
Organization Grant Amount
Batch 20200201
Rural Community Food Pantry 2,500.00
Dubuque Rescue Mission 10,000.00

Identification and Planning for non-profit and vulnerable populations needs and
resources
United Way conducted a baseline survey with non-profit human services leaders on
March 17 and 18:
• 50 responses were received
• 40% of agencies responding have closed some or all programs; 30% are
developing plans to do so; 9% are increasing programs due to community need
• Many are prohibiting face to face contact and increasing online services
• Highest areas of concern amongst non-profit leaders serving our vulnerable
populations are (in this order):
• Lost wages for their own employees and for the people they are serving
• Food access
• Childcare
• Adequate supplies for cleaning and safety in their buildings
• Adequate information regarding COVID-19 overall.
Below is a summary chart of needs and resources identified. We have divided it into
staff and community needs as it is crucial to understand that many of the staff
2
members who work for non-profit human services providers are themselves
vulnerable populations.

Translation and interpretation services
The Human Rights Department (HRD) has been supporting the work of the Public
Information Office by ensuring that messages from the Dubuque County COVID-19
Emergency Response Team are translated into Spanish and Marshallese, utilizing two
individuals who have a history of performing translations for the City of Dubuque. In
addition, HRD staff have been actively contacting bilingual and multilingual people
within their community network to identify people willing to serve as interpreters and
translators in the event additional needs arise. Thus far, the department has e-mails
and phone numbers for community members who speak the following languages in
addition to English: Spanish (8), Marshallese (4), Mandarin Chinese (3), Arabic (1),
Japanese (1), American Sign Language (1). Most of these individuals do not have
certifications as translators or interpreters, though a few of them have a fair degree of
experience. One has experience with medical interpretation in Spanish. Many of these
individuals are also serving as a source of information for needs within the various
language communities in Dubuque.
The payment currently being offered for translations services is 25 cents per word for
translations completed within two hours of being contacted and 19 cents per word for
translations with a longer turn around time. Payment for interpretation services, if
needed, is set at $30 an hour. Currently, the HRD is utilizing their $7,000 line item for
5
equity activities to pay for these services and is tracking the information for potential
reimbursement under the federal disaster declaration.

SUBJECT: Parking Operations
DATE: March 23, 2020
Purpose
COVID-19 has impacted mass transit in communities around the country and within the
state of Iowa. This memo contains recommendations to alleviate the stress that many
of our citizens are facing with respect to reserved parking within the City's ramps.
Discussion
A number of Dubuque's workforce park in the covered parking provided by the Locust,
Iowa, Central, Five Flags, and Intermodal parking ramps. Due to the impact of COVID-
19 many offices have mandated their workforce to work from home. This leaves many
of our patrons paying for parking spaces that they are currently unable to utilize.
Recommendation
It is my recommendation to suspend parking fees through the month of April. All
parkers will retain their current parking spaces. At the end of April we will revisit the
effects of the pandemic on the community. If possible we will reinstate monthly billing
effective May 1, 2020.
Budget Impact
During the month of February revenue from surface lots was $130,687.25.

services related to the collection of trash and recyclables continue. Flood control
operations, street, traffic lighting and camera maintenance continues. Sanitary and
storm sewer maintenance and repairs continue. All street maintenance and street
cleaning activities and riverfront maintenance continue. Finally, all services at the

These changes were made to provide transportation to our citizens who rely upon us to
get to the:
Grocery Store
Dialysis
To further assist strained pocketbooks, bus fares have been suspended until April 11.
Employee PTO
As of this writing we have had 21 people request PTO. This includes 17 drivers. We
are currently researching options to ensure that our demand response service
continues.
PARKING
All metered parking collections have been suspended through April 11.
Our monthly patrons will receive the month of April free since many are working
remotely. This was a measure recommended to help relieve citizens from the
unnecessary stress of maintaining their parking spaces while working from home during
this time.

addition, there are other general fund revenues exceeding the Fiscal Year 2020 budget
projections.
The other strategies that would be implemented to reduce the financial impact of the
coronavirus include:
1. Review of current vacant positions and determination of positions to delay filling until
after June 30, 2020.
2. Review of unpurchased equipment and supplies to delay purchase until after June 30,
2020.
3. Review of cash funded capital projects to consider funding with debt instead.
4. Review of cash funded capital projects to consider cancelling projects.
In addition to these options, the Federal Government passed the U.S. Stimulus Package to
combat Coronavirus, a $2 trillion stimulus package, a massive bill designed to shield the U.S.
economy from the most drastic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. This legislation
includes $150 billion in funding for states, cities, counties and school districts to reduce the
financial burden of the Coronavirus. The stimulus package also includes $250 billion set aside
for direct payments to individuals and families, $350 billion in small business loans, $250
billion in unemployment insurance benefits and $500 billion in loans for distressed companies.
I will have additional information regarding the Coronavirus financial impact prior to the public
hearing to adopt the Fiscal Year 2021 budget. In addition, I will continue to work with
departments to determine expense reductions and other savings to help fund the financial
impact of the coronavirus.
