In Fiscal Year 2014, an application process was implemented for the funding of purchase of service agencies. The Fiscal Year 2016 budget recommends an allocation of $72,706 in General Fund and $31,820 in Community Development Block Funds for a total of $104,526 to fulfill some of the recommendations of the Community Development Advisory Commission. The recommendation of the Community Development Advisory Commission will be made to City Council after the Fiscal Year 2016 budget is adopted on March 12, 2015.

Contracted services are services that the City would have within its organization regardless of who provides the service. Contracted services in many cases leverage other resources that would not normally be available to the City. An example is the Dubuque Humane Society which provides a heightened level of service for animal control over what the City would provide for animals. -9- Most contracted service agencies are recommended to receive a 10% reduction in their service contract. The following agencies have received or are being recommended to receive funding as contracted services within other departments: Agency Department FY 2015 FY 2016 Funding Source America's River Corporation Economic Development $10,000 $10,000 General Fund Burlington Trailways Transit $9,600 $2,400 General Fund Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque - Project HOPE Economic Development $75,025 $67,523 General Fund Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque - Every ChildlEvery Promise Housing $25,000 $22,500 General Fund Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque - Green & Healthy Homes Housing $25,000 $0 Green & Healthy Homes Grant Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque - Inclusive Dubuque Economic Development $75,000 $67,500 General Fund Crescent Community Health Center - Operating Health Services $25,000 $22,500 General Fund Crescent Community Health Center - Engine House #1 Rent Health Services $25,000 $25,000 General Fund Dubuque Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Economic Development $979,677 $1,018,206 General Fund Dubuque Area Labor Management Council Economic Development $30,000 $27,000 General Fund Dubuque Main Street Economic Development $74,276 $66,848 General Fund DuRide Transit $25,000 $16,866 General Fund ECIA Membership Dues Planning $24,784 $25,937 General Fund ECIA Prosperity Iowa Economic Development $5,650 $5,085 General Fund ECIA Transportation Planning Engineering $10,000 $9,000 General Fund ECIA Transit Management Transit $353,421 $0 General Fund Greater Dubuque Development Corporation - Retail Expansion/Marketing/Workforce Economic Development $586,613 $527,592 Land Sales Greater Dubuque Development Corporation - Director of Sustainable Innovation Water $125,000 $100,000 General Fund Hills & Dales: Senior Center Recreation $18,200 $16,830 CDBG Hills & Dales: Senior Center Recreation $1,800 $1,620 General Fund Humane Society Health Services $132,909 $136,109 General Fund Operation New View Housing $19,756 $17,781 General Fund Operation New View: Head Start Program - 18th St Rent Housing $25,000 $25,000 General Fund Proudly Accessible Dubuque Building Services $15,000 $13,500 General Fund Washington Tool Library Neighborhood Development $11,284 $11,284 CDBG Washington Tool Library Neighborhood Development $4,506 $4,506 General Fund Total $2,712,501 $2,240,587 -10- Recommended Operating Expenditure Budget - Department Total 79 - PURCHASE OF SERVICES Fund Account Account Title FY13 Actual FY14 Actual FY15 Adopted FY 16 Recomm'd Expense Expense Budget Budget 100 62761 PAY TO OTHER AGENCY 260 62761 PAY TO OTHER AGENCY 45,601 30,468 67,218 15,551 65,784 23,005 72,706 31,820 62 - SUPPLIES AND SERVICES 76,069 82,769 88,789 104,526 79 - PURCHASE OF SERVICES TOTAL 76,069 82,769 88,789 104,5261 -11- Recommended Expenditure Budget Report by Activity & Funding Sounce 79 - PURCHASE OF SERVICES FOUR MOUNDS HEART PROGRAM- 79115 FUNDING SOURCE: GENERAL Account FY13 Actual FY14 Actual FY15 Adopted Expense Expense Budget FY16 Recomm'd Budget SUPPLIES AND SERVICES 5,000 5,000 5,000 0 FOUR MOUNDS HEART 5,000 5,000 5,000 0 PROGRAM FOSTER GRANDPARENT - 79120 FUNDING SOURCE: GENERAL Account FY13 Actual Expense FY14 Actual Expense FY15 Adopted Budget FY16 Recomm'd Budget SUPPLIES AND SERVICES FOSTER GRANDPARENT 6,113 6,113 0 0 6,113 6,113 0 0 HELPING SVS/NE IOWA - 79140 FUNDING SOURCE: GENERAL Account FY13 Actual Expense FY14 Actual Expense FY15 Adopted Budget FY16 Recomm'd Budget SUPPLIES AND SERVICES HELPING SVS/NE IOWA 2,147 0 0 0 2,147 0 0 0 RET. - SENIOR VOLTR.

We've become a federally qualified health center, changed our name to Crescent Community Health Center, added services and staff, improved the health of over 6,000 unique patients each year, won a few awards and are renting additional space to accommodate all of it. We are enclosing the first Crescent Community Health Center Annual Report dedicated to the visionaries who spent their time, talent and treasure to get us started. Many of you remain staunch supporters and partners in serving Crescent patients in many ways. Some of our Board members have been with us since the very beginning and are just "retiring" this year. Crescent continues to seek interested, energetic and capable community leaders for our Board. If you know anyone who may be interested, I would love to hear from you. The work never goes away! Sincerely, 574-/iY Julie Woodyard Executive Director 1789 Elm Street, Suite A o Dubuque, Iowa 52001 ° Phone: 563-690-2850 ° Fax: 563-557-8488 Crescent Community Health Center 1789 Elm Street, Suite A Dubuque IA 52001 Phone: 563.690.2850 www.crescentchc.org www.facebook.com/CrescentCHC 16 Crescent Community HEALTH CENTLI Annual Report Fiscal year 2013 Our Mission is to provide high-quality, respectful and affordable medical and dental care to improve the health and well-being of our community.

Formal discussions started in 1999 when Loras College and Clarke College gathered community representatives to plan for a Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC)pgrant, which included creating a neighborhood clinic in the area surrounding the two colleges. • The original 21 -member board was formally approved on March 19, 2003 and still serves in an advisory capacity today. • In March 2003, the first application for a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) was submitted. For the next three years, the community health center was also a priority issue for the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce legislative trip to Washing- ton DC. • Crescent Community Health Center was awarded State of Iowa "incubator funds" in 2005 and 2006. • DRA awarded Crescent Community Health Center a $500,000 grant for build -out and equipment. • The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque stepped in to secure a $1.3 million endowment from the owners of Crescent Electric Supply Co., specifically the Schmid, Rhomberg, and Piekenbrock families. • In February 2007, Crescent Community Health Center was award- ed FQHC status. • Crescent Community Health Center (CCHC) is now a freestanding, Federally Qualified, not-for-profit corporation created solely for the purpose of becoming a Health Center. CCHC provides com- prehensive primary and preventive health care services that are appropriate to meet the needs of the community. Dubuque's crit- ical need for dental care is one of the many health disparities be- ing addressed by CCHC. Crescent Community Strengths and Accomplishments • February 2007 - Crescent Community Health Center (CCHC) receives Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status. • 2007 - Crescent Community Health Center (CCHC) and Mercy Family Pharmacy (MFP) join the Patient Safety and Pharmacy Collaborative. • 2009 - American Pharmaceutical Association Award to CCHC for improving patient outcomes. • 2010 - CCHC receives the Community Impact Award for healthcare. • 2012 - CCHC is again given an award from the American Phar- maceutical Association for improving patient outcomes. • 2013 - CCHC is awarded the Iowa Pharmaceutical Association Patient Partnership award. • February 2013 - CCHC is awarded Level 2 Patient Centered Medical Home recognition by the National Committee for Qual- ity Assurance (NCQA). • 2014 - CCHC and MFP are awarded "Gold Team" status by the Patient Safety and Pharmacy Collaborative. 2013 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mary Rose Corrigan, Chair Jill Knight, Vice -Chair Rich Whitty, Secretary Jim Miller Brian Schatz Doug Brotherton Vince Borner Hilary Dalton -Zander Wayne Mootz Sr. Helen Huewe, OSF Norma Lange Betty Griffin Kay Takes Thomas Unsen Lora Goedken 5 Total Staffing — 46 Crescent often has volunteers who assist us with the mainte- nance of our clinic, specifically with painting and cleaning. We also have had occasional volun- teers assist us with mailings, scanning, assembling new pa- tient packets and assisting pa- tients with completing health assessments. Crescent also provides educa- tional internships and practicum opportunities for nursing, nurse practitioner, medical records, accounting, dental assisting and business students. Volunteer Physicians, an Ophthalmologist, an Optician and a Podia- trist have augmented our primary care services with specialty care, especially for patients with diabetes. Services Offered • Reduced cost pharmacy services and medication consultation through Mercy Family Pharmacy • Primary healthcare services • Oral health care services • Diagnostic laboratory services • Diagnostic x-ray services • Preventive health services • Patient case management • Pharmacy services • Preventive and some restorative dental services • Interpretation services • Diabetic Program • Tobacco Cessation • Referrals to specialists • Community Garden • Wellness Center Long-term Funding Strategies Crescent's financial outlook is stable, but challenging. The health care marketplace is undergoing significant changes in terms of patient expectations, outcome measurement, patient responsibility for their health, payment strategies and insurance offerings. Stay- ing abreast or ahead of all of these changes has become a full- time occupation in and of itself. There are still many unknowns about federal funding for health centers, Medicaid and Medicare and private insurance revisions. Crescent's long-term funding strategy is to continue to provide high-quality, comprehensive services in order to attract a neces- sary share of any marketplace (public and private) in order to flourish. We continue to negotiate with new payment partners to expand the appropriate types of payers, including employers, to primary health care.

What is the Patient Portal? The Patient Portal is a computer- ized system that allows patients to securely access their patient information and communicate with Crescent online. I don't have or use a computer. How is this helpful to me? Any computer with Internet access may be used to access your information. You will need to create a secure user name and password in order to access the information or to communicate securely with us. Crescent will have a computer in the reception area of the clinic for patients to learn how to use the Patient Por- tal. Crescent will also have staff available during clinic hours to teach patients how to use the Patient Portal. Why do I need this? Communication between patients and the Care Team are very important to improve your health. This is one more way to communicate with us and have your health infor- mation at your fingertips. We will also list opportunities for our patients for health improvement activities such as classes at the Wellness Center, the gardening schedule or other opportunities. We hope that all of our patients will learn about this new tool as soon as it becomes available in 2015. 10 11 Dental Clinic Success Stories Since May 1st, 2014, by way of the Affordable Care Act, about 30% more Adult patients in our dental practice now have dental insurance through the Delta Wellness Plan of Iowa! Almost everyday someone states, "I finally have the opportunity to see a dentist or hygienist!" Many of these patients have not had their teeth cleaned for decades. Two gentlemen come to mind. Both were in dire need of having their teeth evaluated and cleaned. They told me they always were good about getting their children's and their spouses teeth taken care of, but because of the high costs of dental care, they could never afford to go to the dentist themselves. It is now their turn. We are happy to serve the Delta Wellness Plan patients. They are extremely apprecia- tive of our services. Outreach & Enrollment Success Stories Our success story is connecting. The help we provide can be at the office, a homeless shelter, a walk-in from the street or someone who heard about us on the radio. We like to dispel the myths about the Affordable Care Act and find out the real issues, get patients the help they need and then put them in the hands of the professionals that can help make their life healthier. Our job is to educate and find ways for our patients to take care of themselves so that they can take care of others. The joy and com- fort that we provide in making sure that patients get the insurance coverage that they need is priceless to us. Medical Clinic Success Stories An uninsured woman with severe cardiac disease and multiple oth- er chronic health conditions was hospitalized over half of the days during the month of June. She required cardiac surgery and suf- fered from kidney failure on multiple occasions. With care coordi- nation and community collaboration, this patient has NOT been hospitalized during July or August. The patient has assistance from Mercy Home Care, has been set up with a med box at MFP, and continues to receive pro-bono cardiology care from a specialist at Medical Associates. To date, her blood pressure is under control, her kidney disease is greatly improved and her glucose level has greatly improved. She is a perfect example of how coordination and community collaboration helps our patients improve their health while reducing health care costs. A homeless woman with HIV and severe depression came to us, having had no support from her family or friends. Since being seen here, she has established with our on-site therapist from Hillcrest who coordinated care with the VNA to access Ryan White/HIV funding. She now receives other community health services to im- prove her life and provide support. She has been referred to a lo- cal cardiologist to receive her care. She is a great example of the team -based care that CCHC provides along with community health specialists that were not just medical in nature. 12 13 Crescent Community Wellness Center Success Stories 'I'm excited! I'm having a good day.!" These are words that one of our members, "Ann", used during a ses- sion at our Wellness Center. This is a far reach from a few short weeks ago. "Ann" recently established care at Crescent Community Health Center; during her initial visit, she expressed that the majority of her time was spent feeling hopeless and depressed. She felt little interest or pleasure in doing things. A pack -and -a -half -a -day smoker, "Ann" was encouraged to check out the Wellness Center and its pro- grams. It was evident from our first meeting that "Ann" felt very closed off from the outside world and hopeless. She was in need of support and our team at Crescent was ready to provide it. In working with "Ann", I learned that she desired to secure employment, be sur- rounded by friends, and have daily interaction with people. She re- mained committed to our thrice -weekly sessions filled with exercise and wellness coaching. With the support of the team at Crescent Community Wellness Cen- ter, "Ann" has cut back 33% on her cigarette smoking, exercises 3 times per week, has interviewed for employment, and her wellbeing has improved. "Ann" relayed to me that she is having a positive ex- perience with the collaborative approach to her healthcare at Cres- cent. �Yrr Crescent Community WELLNESS CENTER Your hone for all things HEALTH. - Fitness studio - Free %Veights - Carcliu ,Ntachina s -Health Education -Wellness Coaching -Nutrition Classes - f=itness Classes - Diabetes Education CONTACT Stacy Larrison, RN, BSN, CHWC, Health Educator slarrison [Qcrescentchc.org 563.690.2411 14 Crescent Community Wellness Center In order to help patients become healthier or prevent conditions such as Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension and High Cholesterol, Crescent partnered with the City of Dubuque, Dubuque Bank and Trust Devel- opment Corporation, the Dubuque Racing Association, and others to restore a former fire engine house to its original beauty and durabil- ity.

O R G February 9, 2015 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, Daniel L.

When you sign up, the process is simple and organized: • You will pay an annual fee of $45 when you sign up. • For each ride you take, you will pay a small pick-up fee for that trip. No money will exchange hands. You don't need to tip any driver. • You will have your own Transportation Account, which will keep track of your rides. You'll receive a monthly statement and pay it like any other bill. The statement will show the activity you accumulated for the previous month. • Through grants, donations and local sponsors, approximately half of the total cost will be covered by funds other than yours. This keeps DuRide affordable for Dubuque -area seniors. • Low income residents may qualify for assistance, upon request. • Questions? Call 563-451-4999.

Our goal is to improve the health of youth in the Dubuque Community School District, giving them the skills necessary to resist pressure to smoke, drink or use drugs through the provision of the Life Skills Training Program. This program goal is part of a larger approach to comprehensive substance abuse prevention. The health, wellness and community safety benefits of this program are life- long and community -wide, providing a positive return on investment in reduction of the societal costs of alcohol and illicit drug use and violent and property crimes. Helping Services for Northeast Iowa, in partnership with Dubuque Community Schools, seeks to expand the successful, research -validated Life Skills program. This request will support expansion of the program through increased parental involvement and inter -agency collaboration. Substance abuse prevention promotes positive neighborhood development by encouraging safer neighborhoods and healthy lifestyles. Parental involvement and interagency collaboration at continued programs will encourage improved coordination and citizen involvement in the prevention of substance abuse. Thank you so much for your support.
