RE: Dubuque County Historical Society Sublease and Sub - Sublease With

Attached are a sublease and a sub - sublease agreement between Dubuque County
Historical Society and Peninsula Gaming Company, L.L.C. (Peninsula).
The sub - sublease is for part of Lot C and Lot D on Exhibit A attached to the sub -
sublease. Lot C and Lot D are leased by the City to Dubuque Racing Association
(DRA), and DRA has subleased Lots C and D to Peninsula. Dubuque County Historical
Society has requested the City's consent to a sub - sublease of Lots C and D in
connection with the development of the new museum plaza. The lease for Lot C and D
expires December 31, 2018. At that time, DRA may request an extension of this lease,
or in the event DRA does not request an extension, Dubuque County Historical Society
could request a lease of Lot C and D directly with the City.
The sublease is for Lot B on Exhibit A attached to the sublease. The City /Peninsula
lease also expires December 31, 2018. At that time, Lot B will become a part of the

SUBJECT: Dubuque County Historical Society Lease
Ice Harbor Lease Amendment No. 4 - Recommendation and Approval
DATE: August 11, 2010
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City Council with information following
the public hearing that was held on August 2nd for the request on behalf of the Dubuque
County Historical Society for an amendment to their existing Ice Harbor lease. Final action
was tabled until the August 16, 2010 meeting when information related to the associated
sub -lease agreements is received.
BACKGROUND
The Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS) received a $1,230,000 Vision Iowa
RECAT Grant to develop an outdoor plaza between the Woodward Museum /Boatyard
Exhibit and the new Diamond Jo National Rivers Center.
The outdoor plaza area, or referred to as the Mississippi Plaza, will provide a connection
between the two (2) flagship museum facilities and create an integrated campus setting. A
copy of the planning level conceptual rendering of the proposed Mississippi Plaza is
attached.
DISCUSSION
For the development of the proposed Mississippi Plaza, this will require an amendment to
the existing DCHS Ice Harbor lease with the City. The amended lease will incorporate the
existing National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium site, the location occupied by Ice
Harbor Park and the southerly patio area located behind the Diamond Jo National Rivers
Center. An exhibit showing the revised DCHS lease boundary is shown in the attached
Exhibit A.
On the August 16, 2010 City Council agenda, the City will receive for consideration, a Sub -
Lease Agreement from Peninsula Gaming for the southerly patio area and
acknowledgment that none of the proposed Mississippi Plaza improvements will affect the
Peninsula Gaming lease payments to the City. There will also be a Sub Sub -Lease with
Peninsula Gaming for the 15 -foot strip of land along the southerly Ice Harbor pier wall and
for part of the existing parking lot that will be modified as part of the proposed Mississippi
Plaza improvements. Finally, there will also be a request for the City Council to approve a
funding agreement contract with Vision Iowa for the RECAT Grant.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the amended lease agreement between the
Dubuque County Historical Society and the City for the development of the proposed
Mississippi Plaza subject to the approval of the associated sub -lease agreements and the
Vision Iowa contract.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to approve the amended lease agreement between the
Dubuque County Historical Society and the City for the development of the proposed
Mississippi Plaza through the adoption of the enclosed resolution, subject to the approval
of the associated sub -lease agreements and the Vision Iowa contract.

RE: Dubuque County Historical Society Sublease and Sub - Sublease With

Attached are a sublease and a sub - sublease agreement between Dubuque County
Historical Society and Peninsula Gaming Company, L.L.C. (Peninsula).
The sub - sublease is for part of Lot C and Lot D on Exhibit A attached to the sub -
sublease. Lot C and Lot D are leased by the City to Dubuque Racing Association
(DRA), and DRA has subleased Lots C and D to Peninsula. Dubuque County Historical
Society has requested the City's consent to a sub - sublease of Lots C and D in
connection with the development of the new museum plaza. The lease for Lot C and D
expires December 31, 2018. At that time, DRA may request an extension of this lease,
or in the event DRA does not request an extension, Dubuque County Historical Society
could request a lease of Lot C and D directly with the City.
The sublease is for Lot B on Exhibit A attached to the sublease. The City /Peninsula
lease also expires December 31, 2018. At that time, Lot B will become a part of the
leased premises for the lease between the City and Dubuque County Historical Society.
I recommend that the subleases be submitted to the City Council for consideration and
