TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Miracle League Field Development Agreement by and
between the City of Dubuque, lowa and Miracle League of Dubuque
DATE: September 27, 2018
Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware advises that discussions with Miracle League of
Dubuque have come to a successful conclusion and she is recommending approval of
the following:
1 . Miracle League Field Development Agreement between the City of Dubuque and
Miracle League of Dubuque to develop a Miracle League baseball complex at
Veteran's Park.
2. Opportunities for Miracle League to create naming opportunities to facilitate their
fundraising efforts.
3. State of lowa Community Attractions and Tourism (CAT) grant application for
$500,000 to support development of the project, including a $50,000 City match,
as required by the State of lowa.
Tom and Carol Witry and Merle and Mary Santjer have a passion for persons with
special needs. They had a dream and vision to provide opportunities for persons with
special needs to play baseball and have an all-inclusive playground beyond anything we
currently have in Dubuque. Their vision is to build a Miracle League baseball field and
all-inclusive playground for the Dubuque area children and adults with special needs.
Miracle League is a national organization that serves children and young adults who
suffer from any physical or mental disability that causes them to be excluded, whether
intentionally or not from conventional youth baseball leagues. There are over 250
Miracle League organizations across America. Locally the Witrys and Santjers
established Miracle League of Dubuque, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit that has a very active
Board of Directors.
Miracle League of Dubuque has been fundraising to build the Miracle field, all-inclusive
playground and amenities at VeYs Park ever since. They have received donations from
individual donors, businesses and community foundations.
Assistant City Attorney Maureen Quann and Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware
have negotiated this Development Agreement and Lease with Miracle League of
Dubuque. Separately on this City Council agenda, the lease is being set for public
hearing. Highlights of the Development Agreement include the following:
• Miracle League of Dubuque is fundraising for the construction of all the amenities
described in the agreement. The total project is estimated at $3.59 million.
• The City will dedicate the area defined to Miracle League during the construction
phase and Miracle League will complete all the construction with funds raised.
The project elements include relocation of Veterans Field 3, Miracle League field,
an all-inclusive playground, a new restroom/concession/classroom/storage
building, family plaza and picnic/shade park, parking lot modification to add a
drop off-loop, entry pavilion and Hall of Fame Boulevard.
• After the project is complete the City of Dubuque will be in charge of day-to-day
maintenance of all the amenities constructed. The city will pay for utilities and
trash removal. The Miracle League Complex will be used and owned by the City
as a public park to be enjoyed by all.
• The City of Dubuque will partner with Miracle League of Dubuque to provide a
Miracle League program in the summer and the fall. The League is the first
priority use of the Complex.
• The City or a contractor of the City's choice will operate a concession stand
during league play.
• The City agrees to be a co-applicant for a Community Attractions and Tourism
grant (CAT grant). The City agrees also to contribute an amount not more than
$50,000 to the Miracle League of Dubuque project, as a required City match to
the grant. The City match will be funded by Fiscal Year 2018 Parks Division
operating budget savings.
The Dubuque County Board of Supervisors has also agreed to provide a required
$50,000 match to the CAT grant.
The Parks and Recreation Commission at a special meeting held on September 26,
2018 reviewed the agreements and unanimously approved recommending acceptance
of the agreements to the City Council.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

DATE: September 27, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of Miracle League Field Agreement by
and Between the City of Dubuque, lowa and Miracle League of Dubuque.
BACKGROUND
Tom and Carol Witry and Merle and Mary Santjer have a passion for persons with
special needs. They had a dream and vision to provide opportunities for persons with
special needs to play baseball and have an all-inclusive playground beyond anything we
currently have in Dubuque. Their vision is to build a Miracle League baseball field and
all-inclusive playground for the Dubuque area children and adults with special needs.
Miracle League is a national organization that serves children and young adults who
suffer from any physical or mental disability that causes them to be excluded, whether
intentionally or not from conventional youth baseball leagues. There are over 250
Miracle League organizations across America. Locally the Witrys and Santjers
established Miracle League of Dubuque, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit that has a very active
Board of Directors.
Their first step was to look for locations. As a City team, we sat down and looked at
which parks these facilities would fit in based on the size needed and amenities in the
park or the area of the park. Since it would be a regional amenity, finding a location on
main roads or easy to find for visitors was a priority. It was determined through the
analysis that Veterans' Memorial Park (VeYs Park) met the criteria for the Miracle Field
and playground the best. Meetings were held with Tom and Merle and others regarding
the opportunities at VeYs Park.
IIW drafted a concept plan using VeYs Park using input from potential user groups of the
proposed amenities including but not limited to Albrecht Acres, Hills and Dales, Area
1
Residential Care (ARC), Unified Therapy, Camp Courageous, DAC, Dubuque
Community Schools (Special Education), G & G Living, Unlimited Services and
Adaptive Sports lowa. They also coordinated with Vets Park current user groups
including Dubuque Pony League, Clarke University, Wahlert and private renters of the
ball diamonds.
Miracle League of Dubuque Board continued their planning work toward construction by
selecting Straka Johnson Architects to assist them with these next steps. The site plan
was presented to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission on February 14, 2017.
The commission unanimously recommended approval of the location and use of VeYs
Park based on the site plan presented. The City Council approved both the meeting
following.
Miracle League of Dubuque has been fundraising to build the Miracle field, all-inclusive
playground and amenities at VeYs Park ever since. They have received donations from
individual donors, businesses and community foundations.
RELATIONSHIP TO COUNCIL VISION, GOALS AND OUTCOMES
"Dubuque 2035 is a sustainable and resilient city and an inclusive and equitable
community...0ur residents experience healthy living and active lifestyle....and have an
abundance of fun things to do..." This project intersects with numerous elements of the
2035 Vision as you can see.
It meets the following Council goals and desired outcomes:
Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe
Outcome: Continue to become an inclusive and equitable community in which all feel
welcome, included and leaving no one behind.
Partnership for a Better Dubuque: Building our Community that is Viable and Equitable
Outcome: Become an inclusive and welcoming community for all
Have non-profit institutions, private businesses and educational institutions contributing
toward implementation of the Imagine Dubuque Plan
Diverse Arts, Culture, Parks and Recreation: Experience and Activities
Have well built, well maintained and upgraded parks and park amenities
Have family oriented programs and activities
DISCUSSION
An Agreement was needed to allow Miracle League of Dubuque to move forward with
their construction phase. Assistant City Attorney Maureen Quann and myself worked
with Merle Santjer and several Miracle League of Dubuque Board members to formulate
an agreement that addressed their project from beginning to end. The field agreement
addresses estimated costs, fundraising, bookkeeping, phases, construction, on-going
operations, lease, concessions, and programming. The lease that was developed
addresses after the construction is complete and the project is accepted the usage of
the project area by Miracle League of Dubuque. The lease term would not start until the
2
construction project is complete. By holding the public hearing now the lease can take
effect immediately upon acceptance of the project.
Highlights of the agreements include the following:
• Miracle League of Dubuque is fundraising for the construction of all the amenities
described in the agreement. The total project is estimated at $3.59 million.
• The City will dedicate the area defined to Miracle League during the construction
phase and Miracle League will complete all the construction with funds raised.
The project elements relocation of Veterans Field 3, Miracle League field, an all-
inclusive playground, a new restroom/concession/classroom/storage building,
family plaza and picnic/shade park, parking lot modification to add a drop off-
loop, entry pavilion and Hall of Fame Boulevard.
• After the project is complete the City of Dubuque will be in charge of day-to-day
maintenance of all the amenities constructed. The city will pay for utilities and
trash removal. The Miracle League Complex will be used and owned by the City
as a public park to be enjoyed by all.
• The City of Dubuque will partner with Miracle League of Dubuque to provide a
Miracle League program in the summer and the fall. The League is the first
priority use of the Complex.
• The City or a contractor of the City's choice will operate a concession stand
during league play.
• The City agrees to be a co-applicant for a Community Attractions and Tourism
grant (CAT grant). The City agrees also to contribute an amount not more than
$50,000 to the Miracle League of Dubuque project, as a required City match to
the grant.
The CAT grant request is due October 15, 2018. The agreement stated that this was
subject to all other commitments required for a successful CAT grant application. One
of these commitments is that Dubuque County would also make a financial
commitment. The County Board of Supervisors passed resolution number 18-244 in
which they also approved up to a $50,000 if the CAT grant is awarded.
The Parks and Recreation Commission at a special meeting held on September 26,
2018 reviewed the agreements and unanimously approved recommending acceptance
of the agreements to the City Council.
BUDGETIMPACT:
A small improvement package will be requested as a part of the FY 20 budget process
for the cost of the startup of the Miracle League program and concessions supplies.
The up to $50,000 donation toward the CAT grant proposal would be funded by Fiscal
Year 2018 operating savings in the Parks Division.
RECOMMENDATION:
3
I respectfully and wholeheartedly recommend City Council approval of the Miracle
League Field Agreement By and Between the City of Dubuque, lowa and Miracle
League of Dubuque and setting the public hearing regarding the Lease Agreement
Between the City of Dubuque, lowa and the Miracle League of Dubuque.

SUBJECT: Naming Recognition Request for Approval - Miracle League of Dubuque
DATE: September 24, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of the name recognition request made
by Miracle League of Dubuque.
BACKGROUND
The City Council at their May 15, 2017 meeting approved a Fundraising and Naming
Recognition Policy. The policy and all background is attached to this action item. The
policy states that naming levels and naming amenities will be proposed by the non-profit
on major capital projects on city lands. The proposal is to be reviewed and must be
approved by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Attached to this action item is the proposal from Miracle League of Dubuque. They
have numerous naming options with the donation level that corresponds with each. To
see the naming rights options, they have included a site plan that has been numbered
with the same corresponding number on the Summary of Naming Rights Options.
Items 1-40 which are in the giving level of $25,000 or more would receive their
recognition on the field, pavilion pillars or the pavilion building. The recognition would be
like is shown in the photos with plaques on the pillars. Items 41-70 which are in the
giving level of$5,000-24,999 would receive their recognition in the Hall of Fame
Boulevard area. This recognition would be a wall type recognition in this area. Items
71-95 which are in the giving level of$1,000-4,999 would be recognized on donor bricks
in the Hall of Fame Boulevard area. Their thought is that the brick donor area and wall
type recognition would be built in a similar fashion to the Veterans Memorial recognition
area at McAleece Recreation Area on Chaplain Schmitt Island. Donors up to $999
would be recognized on the Miracle League of Dubuque website.
Miracle League of Dubuque has worked very closely with the national organization as
well as have been using Ankeny, lowa's Miracle League Field as a model for their work
on the Dubuque project. The field and playground concept are similar and the project is
done in cooperation with their Parks and Recreation Department. The attached request
from Miracle League of Dubuque has taken the recognition cues from Ankeny which are
very tastefully done. The photos show the recognition on the pillars of the pavilion and
the name of the organization is embedded into the field surtacing.
It is the intent of Miracle League of Dubuque to show final designs of each of these
donor recognition areas in the final designs of the project that will be submitted to the
city council for approval. This provides the concept and photos that are a good
representation of the style and form they wish them to take.
The Parks and Recreation Commission at a special meeting held on September 26,
2108 unanimously approved recommending the naming recognition request to the City
Council.
ACTION REQUESTED
I respectfully request City Council review and approval of the naming recognition
request submitted by Miracle League of Dubuque.

Message from the Miracle �eague of
Dubuque Board of Directors
It seems like an easy concept, right? We think it's something everyone can do. We all
know it's intrinsically good for us physically and mentally. We know play is an inherent need
and right for all; it fuels the brain and the body; it fights obesity and depression and often
makes us a part of a team, teaching us valuable life lessons. But for nearly 1,700 children
in Dubuque and thousands more in the surrounding area who have been diagnosed
with a disability that limits their participation in organized sports leagues and at most
playgrounds, "play" is not an option.
Think about it. Based on statistics from the school districts and US Census data, there are
more than 10,000 people ages 2-32 in the region surrounding the City of Dubuque who
have a documented disability. Very few of the individuals have access to special needs
sports or even to accessible playgrounds. It would be akin to the entire enrollment of the
Dubuque Community School District not being able to play. This number is greater than the
enrollment of Clarke University, Loras College and the University of Dubuque combined—
greater than any of our area's largest employers.
Some of us on the Miracle League of Dubuque (MLOD) Board have childen who have
disabilities preventing them from participating in play and programs that come so naturally
to most. All of us on the Miracle League of Dubuque Board know a child who hasn't been
able to join sports teams or play at regular parks because of some limitation, and we are
sure you do too. It's crushing to be that child,
the parent or coach of that child—even the
sibling or friend of that family.

Dubuque's Miracle League Board of Directors is excited to share our vision to build a Miracle
League Baseball Field and All-Inclusive Playground for Dubuque-area children and adults
with special needs. Since 2014, Miracle League of Dubuque organizers have taken many
steps toward bringing our dream to fruition and addressing a critical community need. After
joining the National Miracle League and establishing a fund with the Community Foundation
of Greater Dubuque, multiple public and private locations were researched and input gathered
from community agencies as well as current Veterans Memorial Park users. Following an
extensive feasibility study, the MLOD Board of Directors, with guidance from the City of Dubuque,
determined to locate the project at Veterans Memorial Park in the heart of the city.
The Miracle League is about inclusion, making new friends, building self-esteem and creating
options for a healthier lifestyle. Soon, children of all ages will be able to play in an organized
baseball league and enjoy a playground especially built so everyone gets a chance to play,
socialize and imagine together. People young and old, from all walks of life and all abilities, will
enjoy leisure time together.
We are well on our way to making this
, "miracle" a reality for our community, our
�'• �- ���"` � - area families, and families across the Midwest
who will use this park as a destination. The
°� entire project—baseball field, playground
' and support pavilion—is estimated to cost
� 4 `
$3.5 million. With over
to the project, we invite you to
� �r'�» �- be a part of this important endeavor.

Project Overview
Embracing the philosophy of inclusion, the Miracle League of Dubuque at Veterans Memorial Park
in central Dubuque will be in the midst of other baseball fields, an existing playground, tennis
courts and a community garden. Accommodating the needs of persons with physical, cognitive,
emotional and sensory disabilities, these facilities will remove barriers that prevent individuals
from fully experiencing the joy of playing beside their able-bodied peers.
EVERYONE is included. EVERYONE has fun. EVERYONE plays together.
Additionally, the park will offer walking paths, picnic areas, benches, adequate shade and
a support pavillion with concessions, restrooms, a quiet room and storage — all, of course,
completely accessible. Handicap parking and drop off for arriving and departing vehicles will be
conveniently located at the park entrance.

Game Time
Miracle League baseball is non-competitive and co-ed. Each player gets a turn at the plate
every inning and all players are safe on the bases. Before the end of
an inning, every player scores and the last one up gets a home run! �
Players enjoy the thrill of hearing their names announced over the
loud speaker. Everyone is a winner and all games end in a tie!
To help the athletes, the Miracle League uses a "buddy" system to `
pair each player with an able-bodied peer. The resulting mutually `' _
beneficial bond between players and buddies is a win-win for �_� c �
everyone! � �, ,� ����•
k
With a focus on maximum "play value," the all-inclusive playground ;;� �`
offers an interactive, sensory-rich experience where children of all ��'�°
abilities interact and learn to appreciate each other.
The all-inclusive playground equipment is designed to be engaging, ,, : �
stimulating and just plain fun! Children benefit developmentally as
they enjoy a playground that fosters positive connections with peers, advances in motor skills
and increased self-esteem.
The Kluesner Family Story :.
�-� ,
"Prior to coming to Dubuque, we had played a style of'Buddy ,;_� �,y r{
Baseball'and had a tremendous experience. Our daughter was � � ''�R� .m�, '
able to interact with players of a similar nature, and participate � i �:, ' _ :
in the game without having the stress and expectations that the � �" p �
�
typical little league team has. This type of game is not for everyone, � ._
but for those who want to play and can't find a place to play, it's a y �,�i
godsend. From a parent perspective, it was great to interact with ��� _ "'" �'
others that face similar struggles and share tips on handling various ; �
situations including education, therapies, and other activities. We '� —_ � ',�
were very excited when we heard that the Miracle League is coming �
to Dubuque." ^' Drew & Heather Kluesner

Capture the Opportunity
There is an undeniable need for recreational facilities for the thousands of individuals with
disabilities in the Tri-State area. The time is now for Dubuque and the surrounding area to
provide a top-quality complex to meet this critical need.
The people of the Tri-State region recognize and value inclusivity and accessibility as a top
priority. The City of Dubuque alone partners with more than 60 organizations that make up the
"Inclusive Dubuque" network.
Many of our stakeholders also share the goal of
finding beneficial ways for children and adults �
with disabilities to become more integrated and �,�� ,
valued assets of our community.

The timing couldn't be better! The movemen � ' � ,

Our 100% volunteer board, along with a growing Friends of Miracle League

The Seay Family Story
"From the moment we learned that people were working to bring The Miracle League to Dubuque, we
became excited. As a parent, all you want to do is to make wonderful memories with your children.
However, when you have a child with a disability sometimes that can be challenging. In our case, our
younger son is in a wheelchair and finding locations where we can participate in typical childhood activities
is difficult in our community. What is even more complicated is finding a facility that both of our children
can enjoy. Uery often we have to plan separate
activities for our children, which does not allow , ' ,E�' �s �
us to interact as a family outside of our home. � � =
�'r .^r-s
'Although our younger son will not be able * ' �:..� x � � �y %
to play baseball in the traditional sense, this �!^ � � ,,� � ^ '
facility will provide a setting where he can " � e - � 4 '�` _1�
enjoy the outdoors. It will be a place where he � � i ! � �
can interact with his brother and with other a �� - �; � � -
children—both activ�ties that he loves. Like an
�" � _ _> . w
. y
other parent, seeing our children happy is the � . � �' ' "'`°�?�
most beautiful sight on earth. Knowing that ; r �,
very soon, there will be a place in Dubuque ' �
where it will be just a little bit easier to make " °' ' i.
this happen, is worth more to us than words x `� ` �{6'''�''"�
can express." ^'Steve and Brandie Seay

DISCUSSION
A committee of Assistant City Managers Cindy Steinhauser and Teri Goodman, Budget
Director Jenny Larson, Economic Development Director Maurice Jones, Assistant City
Attorney Crenna Brumwell, Park Division Manager Steve Fehsal, Project Manager
Steve Brown, Civil Engineer Deron Muehring and Leisure Services Manager Marie
Ware reviewed, edited and recommend the policy attached. The policy addresses
naming levels and naming amenities, donor recognition area, naming convention,
naming commitment, process for handling name changes, revoking names in certain
situations and length of time for naming right and approval.
Research of city naming policies was completed prior to drafting the attached
recommendation. Naming policies are very common for cities. A review was also
completed of prior City of Dubuque naming approval by the City Council which is
outlined above. This policy contains some commonalities of the city's naming policy
history as well as incorporates best practices found in city naming policies from across
the country.
With a policy in place specific city department personnel will work with the organization
or non-profit such as KIDS (Kids Skate in Dubuque) and Miracle League of Dubuque in
the development of a fundraising and naming request specific to their project. This
proposal would then be brought forward to the City Council. The attached policy creates
overall policies yet allows non-profits and organizations to look at the specifics of their
project and bring forth a proposal for naming levels and naming amenities as well as
donor recognition area(s) for the City Council's review and approval. This allows
maximum flexibility based upon the specific project being proposed.
ACTION REQUESTED
We respectfully recommend on behalf of the committee and request approval of the
Fundraising and Naming Recognition Policy to the City Council.

THE CITY OF
Fundraising and Naming Recognition Policy �U$ E
For Major Capital Projects
O11 Clt)/ L111C�S OP UIIC�@P Clt)/ JUPISC�1Ct1011 Masterpiece on the Mississippi
The City recognizes the enormous value of direct community support. The purpose of
this policy is to fairly and equitably recognize the generous contributions of donors to
capital projects constructed by the city as well as non-profits and organizations on city
lands or under city jurisdiction. The intent is to insure that philanthropic traditions are
fostered, that donors are treated consistently and fairly and that the contributions are
recognized in ways that support the city and its values.
Each project will outline specific naming opportunities to the appropriate city department
staff for review. The naming opportunities and levels will be presented and approved by
the City Council. This policy serves as the parameters of fundraising and naming to be
used by the City as well as non-profits and organizations with major capital projects on
city lands and/or under city jurisdiction. Special requests not addressed in this policy
will be considered through the approval process.
Naming Levels and Naming Amenities
Naming levels and naming of amenities will be proposed by the non-profit or
organization working on a major capital project on city lands or under city jurisdiction.
The proposal will be reviewed and must be approved by the City Council.
Donor Recognition Area
If a project has a donor recognition area proposed for listing donations in one place at
the site, the design of the donor recognition area must be approved by the City Council.
The City commits to maintain the donor recognition area for the life of the recognition
area. At end of life the recognition area will be removed.
Naming Conventions
Names that are discriminatory or derogatory will not be considered. If a name is
determined to be inappropriate, incorrect or offensive a process to identify an alternate
name will be required.
Naming shall generally be by first and last name, business or non-profit name, unless
another form is specifically requested by the donor and approved by City Council.
1
5-9-17
Naming Commitment
Each donor or donor representative must sign a letter of agreement that clearly defines
the terms and conditions of the donation. It will be signed by the donor and a city or
organization representative. Organizations would provide all signed agreements to the
City upon completion of the project. The agreement will outline the donation and length
of time for naming right.
Length of Time for Naming Right
Naming shall last for the life of the amenity, until such time that the amenity needs to be
replaced or reconstructed through normal wear and tear.
Process for Handling Name Change
The City at its sole discretion, upon request by the donor, may make a one-time change
to the name credited on a plaque or donor area provided there is a substantive reason
for the change and the donor pays all costs associated with the name change including
staff time. It is possible that the change may not be able to happen due to the donor
recognition design. The name change would need to be approved by the City Council.
Revoking Names in Certain Situations
In certain circumstances, the City reserves the right to revoke and terminate its
obligations regarding a naming with no financial responsibility for returning any received
contributions to the benefactor. These actions, and the circumstances that prompt
them, may apply to an approved naming that has not yet been acted upon or to a
conferred naming.
A. If the benefactor's or honoree's reputation changes substantially so that the
continued use of that name may compromise the public trust or otherwise be
contrary to the best interest of the City, the naming may be revoked. However,
caution must be taken when, with the passage of time, the standards and
achievements deemed to justify a naming action may change and observers of a
later age may deem those who have conferred a naming honor at an earlier age
to have erred. Naming should not be altered simply because later observers
would have made different judgements;
B. If the benefactor fails to maintain payments on a pledge upon with the naming
was bestowed, the name may be revoked;
C. If a planned gift upon which the naming was bestowed does not result in the
value agreed upon, the naming may be revoked.

THE CITY OF �
DuB E MEMORANDUM
��.`���
August 3, 2005
TO: Michael C. Van Millgen, City Manager
FROM: Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manage
SUBJECT: Naming Opportunities at the Grand River Center and other City properties
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you information on naming opportunities
for city properties and to recommend a revision to the current cost for each area.
Backqround
In June 2003, the City Council approved the following naming opportunities and
sponsorship levels for different spaces at the Grand River Center (GRC), the proposed
Shot Tower Visitor Center and Water Works Park. Naming opportunities are those in
which the donation represents a significant giving level and then a name is associated
with the space. For example, the American Trust Rivers Edge Plaza was a fulfilled
naming opportunity. These are different than commemorative opportunities which are
those in where the giving level warrants special recognition. An example is the Pavilion
at the Rivers Edge Plaza made possible through the generosity of Rotary.
The following were the approved locations and amounts for Naming Opportunities:
• GRC meeting room (six total) $ 250,000/each
• Outdoor "Tri-State" Plaza West Entrance $ 250,000
• Outdoor Plaza East Entrance $ 250,000 *fulfilled
• Fountain/Garden Area in front of Center $ 250,000 *fulfilled
• Skywalk to Grand Harbor Resort $ 500,000
• Prefunction Space outside Ballroom $ 1 million
• GRC ballroom $ 1 million
• GRC exhibit hall $ 2.5 million
• River Room $ 1 million
• Amphitheather $ 250,000 '"ful�lled
• Rivers Edge Plaza � $ 250,000 ''fulfilled
. . _ . . . . . .. . . . . ..
• Shot Tower Visitor Center $ 1 million
• Water Works Park $ 500,000
In establishing these levels, city staff reviewed information on naming opportunities of
similar sized communities and projects, analyzed the cost of the space and size of the
space in relationship to the entire project. In addition, city staff reviewed the information
with HOK Venue, the internationa{ architect firm that designed the Grand River Center
and has assisted previous clients with naming rights, and with Teri Goodmann and Jerry
Enzler from the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium (NMRMA),
The following naming opportunities were reviewed as part of this research:
• Hy-Vee Center Des Moines - $8 million over 20 years *ful�lled
• Midwest Express Center Milwaukee - $9.25 million over 15 years •fu�fi��ed
• Alliant Energy Center Madison - $6.3 million over 20 years *fulfilled
• Touchstone Energy Place St. Paul —2.35 million 10 years '"fulfilled
• NMRMA Wetland - $1 million *fu�t'i��ed ,
• NMRMA Auditorium & Theater- $500,00 *fu�fi��ed
• NMRMA Reading Room - $250,000 *fulfilled
• Figge Art Center (FAC) Davenport - $12 million "fulfilled
� - FAC North Plaza space $3 million *fu/filled
- FAC Exhibit Gallery $3 millian *fulfilled
- FAC Lobby $1 million *fulfilled
- FAC Gallery space $1 million *fulfilled
- FAC Library $500,000 '"fulfilled
- FAC South Entrance $250,000 *fu��iiled
- FAC Gift Shop $10Q,000 *fulfilled
Discussion
Recently the City has been approached about naming opportunities and levels
previously approved to obtain naming rights. In response to this, I have again reviewed
the informatian with the parties noted above as well as visited with representatives from
SMG, Inc., an international private management firm for Convention and Conference
Center that has experience is soliciting naming rights. The consistent message that
each of these firms stated was that people are interested in naming rights for two
reasons 1) community philanthrapy and 2) marketing opportunities. They all also
agreed that the amount of marketing opportunities through naming rights is abundant
and very competitive. Based upon this input I would recommend that the naming
opportunity amount for the GRC and other city properties be revised as follows:
• GRC meeting room (six total) $ 100,000/each
• Outdoor "Tri-State" Plaza West Entrance $ 200,000
• Skywalk to Grand Harbor Resort $ 200,000
• GRC Lower Lobby space $ 200,000+
. • Prefunction Space outside Ballroom $ 400,000
• GRC ballroom $ 500,000
• GRC exhibit hall $ 1 million
• River Room $ 500,000
• Shot Tower Visitor Center $ 450,OOQ
• Water Works Park $ 500,000
+Not previously on the naming opportunity lisf but being recommended
Lastly, a consistent theme in reviewing naming rights with the parties above was that
the city may want to consider establishing a term limit on those naming rights that
represent marketing opportunities for a business as opposed to those that are purely
philanthropic. As shown above, several of the examples had limits from ten to twenty
years. This is consistent with industry standards. Based upon this, I wauld further
recommend that a 15-year term be established for naming oppor�unities in the Ballroom,
Exhibit Hall, River Room and Lower Lobby.
Request
The requested action is for City Council to adopt the revised recommendations
regarding naming opportunities.
EXHIBIT B
History of Donor Recognition
National Mississippi River Museum &Aquarium
1978 to 1982: Establish Fred W.Woodward Riverboat Museum and acquire Wm. M. Black
The effort to establish the Riverboat Museum, what is the National Mississippi River Museum&
Aquarium today,was let by Wayne A.Noi�rnan, Sr. The goal was $800,000 and the Historical
Society raised$1.1 million, exceeding the$600,000 matching requirement by raising$900,000.
IVlatching funds included$100,000 for the value of the William M. Black. Leadership gifts
included:
1) Bob and Ruth Kehl donated the Burlington Northern freight house in December, 1978. It
was valued at$50,000 (equal to $195,500 in 2015 dollars)with naming recognition at the
entry to the building.
2) The Woodward Foundation gave a$200,000 challenge grant in February, 1979 (equal to
$726,819 in 2015 dollars), requiring$600,000 of matching funds. The freight house
would be named the Fred W. Woodward Riverboat Museum. Gift was 25% of the total
goal.
3) Grant from the Maritime Program of the National Park Service/National Trust of
$135,000.No naming because it was a government grant.
A donor panel was created at the entrance to the Woodward Riverboat Museum consisting of
engraved brass plates mounted on wooden plaque with donors recognized by gift category. There
were no individual names on specific exhibits..
1983 to 1986: Completion of Woodward Museum, Creation of National Rivers Hall of
Fame,Establishment of the Endowment,Development, and Education
In 1982 The Society received a$200,000 NEH Challenge Grant with the requirement that we
raise$600,000 in matching funds to continue the development of the museum as well as
establish a$200,000 endowment. Including the NEH challenge grant, we raised a total of$1.2
million. The donors to this 1982-1985 campaign were recognized by adding their names to the
existing plaque at the entrance to the Woodward Riverboat Museum.No donors were recognized
on individual e�ibits.
1987 to 1991: Iowa Welcome Center,Local History Gallery,NRHOF,Archives,
Endowment, National Outreach, Fund Raising, and Development
The Society raised$3.5 million to establish the Iowa Welcome Center, local history gallery, and
NRHOF gallery, and archive where the National River Center gift shop and archives are now.
There were a few donors recognized individually and all donors above a certain amount were
listed on a recognition plaque placed at the Iowa Welcome Center lobby by category.
1997 to 2003: America's River—William Woodward Mississippi River Discovery Center,
Wetland,Local History,Archives,William M. Black, and Endowment. City projects
included Grand River Center,Riverwalk and Amenities, and Grand Harbor Resort.
The Society, working with the Chamber/CVB, and the City. Led this$188 million campaign.
The Society portion of the fundraising goal grew fi•om$10 million in 1997 to $25 million in
1999 and$56 million in 2000,part of the$188 million America's River project. William
Woodward's bequest resul.ted in$1.8 million. When combined with gifts from the Woodward
Foundation and family,this totaled about 20% of all private, foundation, and corporate giving.
Meetings were held to develop recognition guidelines with Braren,Mulder and German fund
raising counsel, Museum leaders,the Chamber of Commerce and CVB, and the City of
Dubuque. This established official joint naming recognition for the Museum, Chamber/CVB, and 'I
City project. River Museum leaders with Lyons Zaremba exhibit design fii7n and Braren, Mulder I
and Geiman established criteria for donor recognition in the 1Vluseum: I
1) Two Donor Plaques were installed at the Museum&Aquarium and also on the US
Senator John C. Culver Flood wall, listing all donors at$500 and above by giving
category.
2) $250,000 and above merits 1) a"naming"which means the donor's name comes before
the name of the e�ibit or feature, such as `Bowell Library"or the American Trust

Resolution for a Community Attractions and Tourism (CAT) grant application to
Enhance lowa for the Miracle League of Dubuque Baseball Field and All-Inclusive
Playground Project. The City of Dubuque will be a co-applicant with Miracle League of
Dubuque. The CAT grant application is underway and must be submitted by October
15, 2018.
BACKGROUND
The CAT grant program is designed to assist communities in the development and
creation of multi-purpose attraction or tourism facilities. CAT awards can help position a
community to take advantage of economic development opportunities in tourism and
strengthen a community's competitiveness as a place to work and live. Eligible projects
are construction projects including recreational centers, sports and other attractions that
are permanently located recreational, cultural, educational or entertainment activity that
is available to the general public.
CAT awards typically average 10-15% of a total project and are the "last dollar in",
which means the Enhance lowa Board will not make an award until the applicant has
raised all or most of it fundraising match.
DISCUSSION
The project is to be located in Veteran's Park. The grant project elements include
relocation of Veterans Field 3, Miracle League field, an all-inclusive playground, a new
restroom/concession/classroom/storage building, family plaza and picnic/shade park,
parking lot modification to add a drop off-loop, entry pavilion and Hall of Fame
Boulevard. The park will offer ADA accessible walking paths, picnic areas, benches
and adequate shade. Miracle League of Dubuque is responsible for concept, design,
construction and fundraising. Once completed the City will take over operations and
maintenance of Miracle League structure and park amenities.
Miracle League of Dubuque anticipates the facility to be available to more than 10,000
people ages 2-31 in the Dubuque area who have documented disabilities that prevent
them from fully participating in sports leagues or at the playground. There are additional
persons with documented disabilities of all ages that will use the facilities. This will also
allow friend, neighbors, parents and grandparents that might have disabilities to come
and play in an inclusive environment as well. Once completed the ballfield will be used
for Miracle League play and tournaments. The remainder of improvements will become
an attraction for all persons from Dubuque and the region.
The project has an estimated cost of$3.5 million. The construction is estimated to start
in March of 2019 and be completed by September of 2019. The CAT grant request is
for $500,000. Miracle League of Dubuque has raised $2.34 million to date.
In the previously action that approved the Miracle League Field Agreement By and
Between the City of Dubuque, lowa and Miracle League of Dubuque the City agreed to
be a co-applicant for a Community Attractions and Tourism grant (CAT grant). The City
additionally agreed to contribute an amount not more than $50,000 to the Miracle
League of Dubuque project. The agreement stated that this was subject to all other
commitments required for a successful CAT grant application. One of these
commitments is that Dubuque County would also make a financial commitment. The
County Board of Supervisors passed resolution number 18-244 in which they also
approved up to a $50,000 if the CAT grant is awarded. This resolution is attached.
The CAT grant program is a part of Enhance lowa and requires a lengthy grant
application. Eastern lowa Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) has been compiling
the CAT grant application for Miracle League of Dubuque and the City. The cost of their
contract is being paid for by Miracle League of Dubuque and support from the Grant
Wood Loop/Keep lowa Beautiful project.

The $50,000 matching donation from the City toward the Miracle League of Dubuque
project would be funded by Fiscal Year 2018 operating savings in the Parks Division.

September 26, 2018
Ms. Nicole Shalla, Enhance lowa Program Manager
lowa Department of Economic Development
200 East Grand Avenue
Des Moines, lowa 50309
Dear Ms. Shalla:
Miracle League of Dubuque and the City of Dubuque have formed a dynamic partnership to bring
Miracle League Baseball and an all-inclusive playground to a region that has no dedicated playgrounds
for people with special needs. The $3.5 million project has been several years in the planning and
funding and, with the thoughtful support of lowa Economic Development Authority's Enhance lowa
grant, we are ready to realize this much-needed facility.
The city of Dubuque is located in Dubuque County and is the largest city in a 50-mile radius. The city has
a 2017 estimated population of 58,Z76, while the county population is estimated at 93,653. Dubuque
Community School District documented 1,700 students in the public-school system diagnosed with a
disability that limits their participation in organized sports leagues and at most playgrounds. Census data
shows more than 10,000 people in our region, aged 2-31, have a disability, thus for all ages the number
is much higherfor our region.
Dubuque special needs teacher and baseball coach,Tom Witry, was keenly aware of this disparity.Along
with his wife, Carol, Witry invited Merle and Mary Santjer to join him at his May 2013 Optimist Club
presentation to share his dream to bring a Miracle League Field and All-Inclusive Playground to
Dubuque. The Santjers are parents to Matthew, an avid baseball fan, Witry's former high school team
manager, and a young adult with Autism. The Santjers were immediately supportive of the vision, and
along with the Witrys, have been working nearly nonstop for the past six years to make the Miracle
League of Dubuque (MLOD) a reality.
In 2014, Ohio businessman and University of Dubuque Trustee, Joe Chlapaty contacted Witry and
Santjer because he, too, shared their hope to bring Miracle League to Dubuque. After Joe and Linda
Chlapaty met with Witry, Santjer, and Dubuque City Manager, Mike Van Milligen, the Chlapaty's pledged
a $500,000 Challenge Grant to the group and MLOD was moving in high speed.
Veterans Memorial Park, a well-established park in central Dubuque, with room for growth and existing
ball diamonds, made the park a natural fit for a Miracle League ballfield and all-inclusive playground, as
well as easily modified parking and sidewalks to offer complete ADA-accessibility. With a site selected
within a Dubuque city park, the City readlly formed a partnership with the fledgling MLOD.
The all-volunteer MLOD has received wide-ranging support for the project.The City of Dubuque is a full
partner in this project, having provided planning expertise, offering a permanent home for MLOD, and
assuming all park operation and maintenance as soon as the project is complete. Additionally, both the
city and Dubuque County have pledged $50,000 in matching funds for the project.
Support has been garnered throughout the region from Dubuque Community School District, Western
Dubuque School District, and several other special needs groups such as Camp Courageous, Camp
Albrecht Acres, Special Olympics lowa, Area Residential Care, Hills & Dales, G&G Living, and Unified
Therapy.
To date, $2.7 million has been committed to MLOD from private donations and pledges, in kind services,
and grants. Commitments to play have come from communities throughout the region, with inquiries
from schools and camps to utilize the park. Businesses and organizations have already inquired about
volunteering with the teams.
With the support of an Enhance lowa CAT grant, MLOD will be able to bid the project in January 2019,
start construction that same spring, and open for play in September of the same year. With an Enhance
lowa grant of$500,000, the project's vertical infrastructure fundraising will be completed. We see this
as the best use of both State of lowa funding and our donor gifts. A one-phase, shovel-ready project is
the most cost-efficient way to proceed, with an estimated $200,000 cost-savings realized by not building
in separate phases.
The Dubuque area has a strong foothold on tourism in the region, and we anticipate MLOD to be
another quality-of-life offering. Conservative estimates from league play show tourism revenue at
approximately$2.34 million in the first five years of operaton (IEDA Tourism Estimator FY2019). We
further envision adding inter-league tournaments, all-star games, corporate events of whiffle-ball and
kick-ball which will drive usage and revenue. We have learned from other Miracle League fields with an
all-inclusive playground, the ballfield is the draw on Saturdays, but the playground is a significant draw
all seven days of the week.
Additional economic impact will occur from the$3.5 million construction project in Dubuque. Data
shows$XXXX in 2019.
The community, private individuals, local and civic organizations, industry, corporations, and politicians
through the region all support Miracle League of Dubuque in a collaborative manner as substantiated in
the letters of support and resolutions on the following pages. When MLOD opens, it has been proposed
that it will be on the newly renamed Miracle League Drive, at one of the City of Dubuque's premier
parks. We are most pleased to see this vision come to life! We have one child who has already asked
what his number on his baseball jersey will be and how old his brother has to be to be his buddy. The
entire Dubuque-area region is ready for opening day. We sincerely hope that Enhance lowa will be
another major partner in this long-awaited project.
Sincerely,
Merlin P. Santjer

Project Description
In a single paragraph, briefly describe thc project, induding the vertical infrastructure
components and anticipated uses. If this project is a phase of a larger project, please state its
rela[ionship to that project.
Embracing the philosophy of inclusion, Miracle League of Dubuque (MLOD) and the City of Dubuque
have partnered to construct a $3.5 million all-inclusive Miracle League balifield and playground at
Veterans Memorial Park in central Dubuque. Plans also include a new support building with
concessions, quiet room, classroom, restrooms, maintenance, and storage; family plaza; and picnic area.
The park will offer ADA accessible walking paths, picnic areas, benches and adequate shade.The ample
existing parking will be modified to include handicap parking and drop-off located at the entrance to the
park. The new infrastructure will be in the midst of existing softball and baseball fields, an older non-
ADA compliant playground, a disc golf course and open green space. Separately,the City is adding a
suite of new Pickle Ball courts. MLOD is responsible for conception, design, construction, and fundraising
at the city park. Once operable, the City of Dubuque will fully take over operation and maintenance of
the Miracle League structures along with other park amenities. Miracle League of Dubuque is
anticipated to be available to more than 10,000 people ages 2-31 in the Dubuque area who have
documented disabilities that prevent them to fully participate in sports leagues or at a playground.
MLOD is anticipated to open in September 2019 and is expected to contribute $2.3 million into the local
economy during the first five years of operation through tourism dollars.
