TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Dubuque County General Relief Fund
DATE: September 28, 2016
Dubuque County has a General Relief Fund. The program allows residents to receive
emergency financial aid for rent, utilities and other necessary expenses.
In Fiscal Year 2016, Dubuque County spent $2,630.83 to help people pay to get their
City water turned back on. They have requested that the City consider providing some
funding to this component of the program.
I respectfully recommend Mayor and City Council approval of $1,500 of Fiscal Year
2017 Water Leak Repair funds to provide Dubuque County a 50/50 match of these
payments beginning in Fiscal Year 2017. In future budget years, this will become a
stand-alone appropriation.
