SUBJECT: Reset Public Hearing on FY 2021 City Budget
DATE: March 19, 2020
INTRODUCTION
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the purpose of this memorandum is to submit two
resolutions resetting the public hearing and authorizing the publication of official notices
for the public hearing required in connection with the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2021
City budget.
DISCUSSION
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 78-20 on March 2, 2020 which set the public
hearing date as March 26, 2020. However, on Tuesday, March 17 the State of Iowa
declared a State of Public Health Disaster Emergency related to the COVID-19
pandemic. Additionally, the State of Iowa extended the date for certifying municipal
budgets to April 30, 2020. As a result, the City of Dubuque is revising the previous
public hearing date.
The public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2021 City budget will now be conducted at
6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at the Historic Federal Building on Thursday,
April 23, 2020. The public hearing will also cover the adoption of the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2021-2025.
The final budget approval cannot exceed the maximum property tax resolution for Fiscal
Year 2021 adopted by City Council at the February 9, 2020 public hearing.
State law requires a public hearing on the Operating Budget and the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Program.
ACTION STEP
The action step is for City Council to adopt the two resolutions setting the public hearing
and authorizing the City Clerk to publish the required notices of the public hearing on
the Fiscal Year 2021 City budget, operating and capital improvement program, for the
City of Dubuque.
