Van Miltigen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: Preserve America Grant Agreement -- Dubuque History Trail INTRODUCTION This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, an agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) for a Preserve America grant for the Dubuque History Trail, a subgrantee agreement with the Dubuque County Historical Society to provide the local match for the grant, and a resolution authorizing these agreements. DISCUSSION The Preserve America matching-grant program provides funding to designated Preserve America Communities to support preservation efforts through heritage tourism, education and historic preservation planning. Dubuque was the first city in Iowa to be designated as a Preserve America Community. The Dubuque History Trail will feature pedestrian way-finding and interpretation signs, a history trail map for dozens of sites, five historic district walking tours, on-site interpretation at 8 key sites, historic site signage, district interpretative signage, downloadable iPod casts, cell phone messaging, trolley tours, web site education, and even a river taxi-tour on the Mississippi River. The objective is to interpret and present the heritage tourism sites in Dubuque to its 1 million visitors each year, providing a world class interpretive and way-finding system that enhances the historic resources of this Mississippi River city. The result will be increased understanding and appreciation of Dubuque's history, its role in the larger picture of regional and national history, and a significant increase in heritage visitation for the city. BUDGET IMPACT The City of Dubuque is the sponsor of the grant on behalf of the Historical Society. The total project budget is $297,500, with $148,500 from the Preserve America grant and $149,000 as the local match. Preserve America Grant Agreement -- Dubuque History Trail page 2 The budget impact to the City of Dubuque will be $8,500 staff support for the project director and engineering, and 25% indirect cost for overhead ($2,125), for a total City indirect budget impact of $10,625. This amount represents an in-kind contribution from the City of Dubuque to this project and is not actual out-of-pocket expense. Assistant City Manager Cindy Steinhauser is proposed as the project director with 100 hours of her time at a total cost of $4,500. The City's Public Works Department is proposed to provide 100 hours of staff time at a total cost of $4,000. The subgrantee agreement requires the Historical Society to abide by the terms of the NPS agreement and to provide for any costs over the estimated project total of $297,500. The City is not obligated to provide any match; however, the City must upfront $138,875 in direct costs for the project design and construction. The City will pay 50% and the Historical Society will pay 50% match for expenses as the project progresses. The City then will submit periodic reimbursement requests to the NPS as these project expenses are incurred. RECOMMENDATION I recommend City Council approval of the enclosed resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreement with the NPS for the $148,500.00 Preserve America grant, and the City Manager to sign the subgrantee agreement with the Dubuque County Historical Society, for the Dubuque History Trail.
