a) Community Development Block Grant Application Review
No applications were received
b) Review CARES ACT Non-Profit Support Grant applications
Chris Lester, Community Development Specialist, stated the following five additional
applications were received for review:
• Catholic Charities for Operation Hope
• Convivium Urban Farmstead for Free Take n' Bake Meals
• Four Mounds for HEART Build Dubuque
• Opening Doors for Staff Support
• Steeple Square for the Marita Theisen Childcare Center
Lester reported there is currently $12,000 remaining from the original $72,000 allocated to the
CARES ACT Non-Profit Support grant. The Diagnostic Testing Facility for COVID-19 currently
has an unused balance of $41,695 that could be reallocated to the Non-Profit Support grant
for a total of $53,695. Lester stated there will not be enough funding available to support the
maximum request of$15,000 for each organization.
Commissioner Boles inquired if an amendment is required to reallocate funding. Lester
explained that small amounts of funding can be moved within the same category of the Annual
Plan without an amendment.
Alexis Steger, Housing and Community Development Director, stated there will need to be a
motion to approve the reallocation of funds and a second motion for approval of applications.
Motion by Commissioner Boles to reallocate $41,695 from the Diagnostic Testing facility to the
Non-Profit Support grant. Commissioner Dalton seconded. Motion carried 6-0.
Commissioner Woodyard motioned to approve the five applications. Seconded by
Commissioner Wainwright. Prior to roll call, Commissioner Dalton stated thai she is in favor
of fully funding three of the applications and partial funding a fourth. Dalton is in support of non-
profit organizations requesting funding to cover employee salaries to keep their staff employed.
After lengthy discussion regarding the funding of five Non-Profit Support Grant applications,
there was a motion by Commissioner Woodyard to amend her original motion and approve
each of the five applications to receive equal amounts of funding in the amount of $10,739.
Seconded by Commissioner Wainwright. Motion carried 5-1 with Commissioner Dalton voting
Nay.
c) Recreation Program CARES ACT approval
Steger reported that Dan Kroger, Leisure Services Recreation Division Manager, was present
if the Commission had any questions on the proposal. Commissioner Woodyard and Hinke
were appreciative and in favor of Kroger's proposal.

because it is state funded; however, she would like the Commission to take on this role.

$547,000. Seconded by Commissioner Wainwright. Motion carried 6-0.
�
Commissioner Boles inquired once the funding of $547,000 is received, can the non-profit

submitted for the additional funding.
