INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides information regarding an extension to the Iowa Department
of Inspections and Appeals (IDIA) agreement with the City of Dubuque for performance
of food and hotel licensing, inspections and enforcement with respect to retail food
establishments.
BACKGROUND
Since 1978, the City Council has continued a Memorandum of Understanding with the
State in order to allow the City to license, inspect, and enforce the Iowa Food Service
Sanitation Code, Iowa Hotel Sanitation Code, the Iowa Food and Home Food
Establishment Codes, and the Iowa Food & Beverage Vending Machine laws. The
most recent agreement expires June 30, 2015.
The City carries out the terms of this agreement through the Environmental Sanitarians
in the Health Services Department. Regular inspections are made of restaurants,
schools, grocery and convenience stores, mobile food units, hotels, taverns, temporary
food stands, and food and beverage machines throughout the city.
DISCUSSION
The IDIA is providing a three-month extension, ending September 30, 2015 to allow
current contracting agencies time to study the potential effects of pending legislation
regarding food license fees.
BUDGET IMPACT
Revenue generated by license fees collected from these various establishments is
projected in the newly adopted budget. The projected revenue for FY16 did not account
for a license fee increase.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement extension with the IDIA
for inspection and licensing of food establishments.
ACTION STEP
The action step is for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to sign the
agreement on behalf of the city.
