The adopted Fiscal Year 2011 operating budget reflects a payment of $10,000 to
America's River Corporation, for financial assistance to cover operating expenses of
that organization. The organization was established in 2003 by representatives from
the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Mississippi River Museum and
Aquarium along with the City of Dubuque, to serve as the organization responsible for
promotion of the Port of Dubuque district.
America's River Corporation utilizes these funds for the education of the Mississippi
River, marketing and promotion of the Port of Dubuque, the development and
coordination of special events located at the Port of Dubuque, and to assist in the
economic development of the Port of Dubuque.
It is my recommendation that the City Council approves the attached Purchase of
Services Agreement with America's River Corporation, and authorizes the Mayor to
execute the contract on behalf of the City.
