RE: 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program Grant
Solicitation
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council consideration for approval
of the 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program Grant
Solicitation. The eligible allocation for the two-year grant amount is $68,679 and
requires no cash match. Our eligible allocation is $68,679.
BACKGROUND:
This funding is designed to provide funds for prevention, preparation and response to
the Coronavirus. It should be noted that, unlike other Department of Justice solicitations
which are awarded to a disparate jurisdiction that includes Dubuque County, the eligible
amount for this application is not part of a disparate jurisdiction. These funds, if
awarded, are solely for use by the City of Dubuque, with the Dubuque Police
Department as the fiscal agent.
DISCUSSION:
Funds awarded under the CESF Program must be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to the coronavirus. Allowable projects and purchases include, but are not
limited to, overtime, equipment (including law enforcement and medical personal
protective equipment), hiring, supplies (such as gloves, masks, sanitizer), training, travel
expenses (particularly related to the distribution of resources to the most impacted
areas), and addressing medical needs.
Agency allocations are based on a formula and involved agencies have been notified of
their potential allocations. The Dubuque Police Department is eligible for $68,679.
Agencies are then requested to outline their intentions for the funds. Agencies must
submit application materials outlining their intentions for the funds and will then be
notified of the results.
