Dear Mayor Duggan:
Thank you for the timely submittal of your Quarterly Reports for October to December,
2005, Januazy to March, 2006, and April to June, 2006, reporting periods. I apologize for the
delay in providing you the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control's assessment of
your overall performance based on submitted reports and the grant work plan, although we have
been advising the grant's Project Director. HUD assesses program performance based on
several factors including 1) progress in meeting established benchmarks such as completing
lead hazard control in residential units and 2) progress in drawing down grant funds relative to
the work performed. Based on your quarterly reports, the City has received an overall rating of
100, 100 and 100 out of 100 for quarters 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
Your Performance
Dubuque has exceeded the production goals in all azeas, including evaluations, units
completed and cleazed, LOCCS drawdowns, outreach events, and individuzls trained. The City
has achieved an overall rating of GREEN. Congratulations on your outstanding performance.
I am enclosing a complete report providing details regazding the strengths and
weaknesses of your grant management and recommendations for associated corrective actions.
