INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to recommend to the City Council four projects for funding
from the Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant program.
BACKGROUND
In 2013, the City Council approved the Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant program
to catalyze community leaders in the Sustainable Dubuque initiative. The grants are
available to any residents, non-profits or businesses who propose a project that
addresses at least one of the twelve sustainability principles and includes an element of
community engagement or education in their project.
DISCUSSION
A citizen committee met to review the eight applications submitted in this quarter. The
following are recommended for funding:
Organization Project Amount
Allison Mitchell Creating a Food Oasis $900
Hempstead High School Germinating Garden Skills $11000
Stonehill Community Prairie Grasses & Flowers $21300
Association
University of Dubuque Student Bike Checkout Program $11600
Government Association
Total recommended funding is $5,800. This is the last of the $22,500 available in
FY2016. The next deadline for the grant applications will be July 1, 2016.
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request City Council approval of the recommended funding for the
Sustainable Dubuque Community Grant detailed above.
