ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Overview
Our department provides professional leadership in economic development, downtown
redevelopment, riverfront and industrial development; and supervises programs to meet
the social, economic and physical development in our community.
The Parking Division and the Transit Division are managed through Economic
Development.
• Transit promotes public private partnerships in transportation and explores and
implements transportation opportunities that enhance the social, economic and
environmental well-being of the City of Dubuque.
• Parking strives to promote a positive parking experience while maintaining the
parking system and enforcing, in a fair and equitable manner, the parking
regulations in Downtown Dubuque.
Economic Development offers many different financial incentives to encourage property
development/improvement and job creation. Some of the programs include:
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF) — An incentive program which captures the
increased property taxes a business pays from improving their property. This
incentive can be used to help pay for needed infrastructure improvements or to
provide grants to the business. Businesses must commit to job creation in the
community or must have an extraordinary positive impact for the community to
offer this incentive.
• Land Discounts — The sale of city -owned property to businesses that commit to
significant job creation in the community.
• Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program — This includes facade, design and
financial planning grants and low interest loans.
• Downtown Housing Incentive — Funds rehabilitation of vacant downtown
buildings into affordable, market rate rental housing.
• Washington Neighborhood Facade Grant Program — Provides facade funds
to owners of commercial property within the Washington Neighborhood with
preference given to buildings along the Central Avenue Corridor between 11th
and 22nd streets.
• State of Iowa Programs — High Quality Jobs program, Workforce Housing tax
credits, Historic tax credits, and Community Development Block Grant funds are
available from the State of Iowa for qualifying projects.
• Other state and federal programs to leverage private investment and job
creation.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Development Agreements
Economic Development staff facilitate, prepare and monitor development agreements in
conjunction with the Legal Department. We work with developers and businesses to
prepare a tailored agreement that corresponds with their expansion/development plans,
as well as meets City Council's objectives of local expansion, affordable market rate
housing creation, and job creation.
Our staff currently monitor approximately 72 development agreements to ensure that
the developers/employers meet the requirements within the agreements, which include
required minimum physical improvements, timing of improvements and job creation.
Staff also monitor and prepare Tax Increment Financing rebates as outlined in the
agreements
The Economic Development Department continuously seeks additional funds from
public and private sources that we can use to provide access to several programs which
can be tapped to encourage business growth in Dubuque.
Lease Agreements/Land Management
Economic Development staff assist with negotiating, preparing and monitoring lease
agreements for space in the Historic Federal Building, Riverfront properties, and other
City owned properties. Staff work with potential businesses to market the property and
space available and negotiate a suitable lease agreement to match the needs of the
prospective business with the goals of the City Council.
We also work to acquire, develop and manage land for business and industrial
development, including any environmental assessment/remediation that is required.
Staff currently manage land in the Port of Dubuque, several Industrial and Technology
Parks, the South Port and the old City garage.

Supporting City and Community Goals:
Planned and Managed Growth
We plan and manage growth through... strategic land purchases, sales, and development;
partnering with businesses and non -profits organizations to create a strong economy and
healthy neighborhoods. We work closely with the Planning & Zoning and Housing & Community
Development Departments in order to achieve shared goals.
Improved Connectivity
The Transportation Division, "The Jule", provides a safe, timely, and comfortable mode of public
transportation for citizens to and from their destinations on fixed routes. These routes provide
access to various services, shopping, entertainment, community functions, and employment
opportunities within the City. A mini -bus service promotes independence for seniors and
persons with disabilities by providing Origin -to -Destination transportation and passenger
assistance when accessing the demand response service.
Economic Prosperity
The Department supports business retention and expansion, creation and attraction in all
neighborhoods, including downtown, by providing financing for business and building
development — as well as funding for housing to support an increased employee base.
Social/Cultural Vibrancy
The arts and cultural community plays an important role in Dubuque's economy and social
infrastructure. Through significant partnerships between the City of Dubuque and the Arts and
Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission, the support of individual citizens and numerous arts and
cultural organizations, Dubuque is one of the most vital, creative and attractive places to live
and work in the area.
Environmental Integrity
The EPA has selected the City of Dubuque for two Brownfields Assessment grants to perform
nine Phase 1 and five Phase II environmental site assessments. Grant funds also will be used to
conduct cleanup planning and support community involvement activities. Petroleum grant funds
will be used to conduct the same activities at sites with potential petroleum contamination. Grant
activities will target three key areas: the South Port, Historic Millwork District, and Washington
Neighborhood.

City Council Members
City of Dubuque
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
On behalf of the board of directors of Dubuque Main Street (DMS), we would like to acknowledge the city's
pending budget situation for Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16). DMS has been notified that the recommended funding
level for FY16 will be decreased by 10 percent from our FY15 amount. While we accept this reduction for
FY16, we would like to encourage the city to restore our funding at a level equal to our FY15 funding when
and if possible.
DMS trusts that the work we do as a contracted service provider for the City of Dubuque is quite valuable. In
addition to the DMS services outlined in our annual report, we would like to highlight here a few major
accomplishments of the past year:
• Joining in the local foods group and sustainability initiatives, DMS secured USDA funding to enhance
the electronic benefits transfer program and marketing of our ever-growing Dubuque Farmers'
Market.
• DMS secured a grant to improve several Central Avenue facades in the Washington Neighborhood,
which will be completed by the end of 2015.
• DMS provided assistance to the City with stakeholder meetings, general communication and advocacy
through the two-way traffic conversion of 9th, 10th, 11th, and Elm Streets.
With our small staff of three full-time and one seasonal, part-time employee, we are pleased to report that our
diverse income sources will allow us to maintain existing employment levels for 2016.
In order to balance the budget DMS presented to the city, we will seek alternative funding from private sources
and/or private/public sector grants. If this funding is not secured by June 30, 2015, we will need to explore
options to fill budget gaps. These options may include increasing festival equipment rental fees, eliminating
free rental fees for three smaller events, imposing administrative fees to serve as the fiscal agent for budding
not-for-profit arts organizations, imposing an application fee for other not -for -profits organization to
participate at farmers' market, and imposing charges for design assistance services that are currently available
at no charge. Our plan at this time is not to reduce services nor is it our plan to implement the aforementioned
options, but that could become a necessity.
As DMS celebrates its 30th anniversary this calendar year, we note and appreciate the support of the city of
Dubuque since the beginning. As the nation's longest standing urban main street program, we thank you for
your partnership and understand the need to reduce our funding for fiscal 2016. We do want to reiterate that we
would appreciate consideration to fully fund our organization for fiscal 2017, if the financial resources can be
identified.
Sincerely,
4-40<a4

Dear Members of the City Council,
RECEIVED
15FEB 10 AM11h44
City Clerk's Office
Dubuque, IA
It has come to the attention of the Dubuque Museum of Art that the City
of Dubuque's 2016 budget recommendations advise cutting the Arts and
Cultural Special Projects grants by $3,000 and the Arts Operating Support
Funding by $21, 000.
Our organization received approximately $18,000 in operating support in
2013. In the last few years we received $3,300-$7,800 in special project
grants annually. This support makes possible community outreach to
thousands of young and old alike. One of the most successful and far
reaching event we host is the Arts Trek tours involving close to 1,000
second grade students in the City. Also are the many boys and girls in Girl
and Boy Scouts who fulfill their art badge at the Museum, children ages 6-
13 enrolled in Saturday morning art classes and toddlers aged 3-5 who
participate in the Young at Art program with their parents. The Maria
House and Teresa Shelter, mothers and their children receive wonderful
information and many adults join our lunch and learn art history program,
adult studio classes, and the popular Famous Dead Artist series. Of course,
we also offer an opportunity for college students to serve as
volunteers/interns which is great for building their resumes.
Did we mention our diverse and exciting art exhibits pull in over 10,000
visitors each year!
This decrease in funding would be detrimental to the Museum and all the
arts organizations who have come to rely on this much needed support.
The Dubuque Museum of Art respectfully asks that you please reconsider
the funding cuts.
Sincerely,
Christine Schiesl
President, Board of Trustees
