TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Request to schedule a Five Flags Work Session for Monday, December 5,
2022 at 5:30 p.m.
DATE: November 16, 2022
Assuming the Mayor and City Council have approved the amendment to the Roshek
Building Development Agreement the significant delay in building a new downtown
parking ramp that is created by that amendment frees up approximately $18 million in
downtown urban renewal debt capacity. Combining this with over $6 million in
downtown urban renewal debt capacity that has already been reserved for Five Flags
creates an opportunity to invest in excess of $24 million into Five Flags in the next few
years. While not adding additional seating capacity and retaining the existing building
this level of investment could turn Five Flags into a premier entertainment facility greatly
improving the customer and entertainer experiences.
Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware has provided a description of option 2 that was
described in the 2018 consultant's report as costing $18.6 million ($24 million is 29%
more than their 2018 number) with additional investments to be made in the facility over
the next 15 years.
Since this $24 million in downtown urban renewal debt is not general fund debt put on
the property tax levy a referendum is not required to issue the debt, unless a citizens
petition is submitted requiring a referendum.
I respectfully recommend that the Mayor and City Council schedule a Work Session for
Monday, December 5, 2022, at 5.30 p.m. to discuss how to move forward with the Five
Flags Project.

Per your request, the purpose of this memo to share information related to Scenario 2
from Assessment and Study Regarding the Future of Five Flags Civic Center dated
June 19, 2018.
DISCUSSION
Overview
The Assessment and Study Regarding the Future of Five Flags Civic Center that was
received and filed by the City Council provided four scenarios. The Assessment and
Study Regarding the Future of Five Flags Civic Center document can be accessed by
clicking here and the Appendices are ocated here.
A full documentation of all studies and project history can be found on the city website
at www.cityofdubugue.org/fiveflagsstudV. The landing page is an overview page with
active links. Click on the Project History tab for additional information. All studies and
information can be found on these pages.
Scenario 2
Scenario 2 involves a limited renovation of Five Flags Civic Center (FFCC) which
includes the arena and historic theater. This scenario has no expansion of the current
footprint. The current seating capacity of 4000 in the arena would remain the same.
Page 7-8 of this memo shows the current footprint and layout of FFCC and that same
footprint remains in Scenario 2.
The Assessment and Study states, "The renovation items are planned to address life
safety and code compliance, to improve building security, to enhance event
marketability and patron amenities, and to make building operations more efficient. It
includes better ADA access, improved fall protection, elevator access to all levels, a
new security and surveillance system, updated box office, air conditioning and heating
in the locker rooms, new operable walls, new telescopic seating, new theatre dressing
rooms in the basement, black box theatre upgrades, existing toilet renovation,
replacement of concourse finishes, updated wi-fi system, concession stand renovation,
fixed arena seating replacement, theatre seating replacement, arena and theatre sound
system replacement, increased electrical system capacity, and replacement of the
theatre steam HVAC system." (Page 65) Scenario 2 does not include an increase in the
seating capacity of the arena.
Scenario 2 Cost Estimate
A summary of preliminary order -of -magnitude capital cost for each scenario was
presented in terms of 2018 dollars, a summary by major cost type is shown in terms of
upfront costs (i.e. construction costs and immediate deferred maintenance costs), as
well as costs through Year 15 of the projection period (i.e., construction costs, deferred
maintenance, and upcoming assumed capital repair/replacement costs). (Page 74)

The upfront construction cost was outlined in 2018 dollars as $18,635,175. With a year
1-15 total cost of $25,830,150. Scenario 2 is a limited renovation thus it will address
specific items related to deferred maintenance, life safety/code compliance, security,
event marketability, patron amenities and operations with a larger infusion of funding
upfront and would need continued support in the capital budget in the coming years to
keep up with the ongoing costs in these categories.

Page 9-11 of this memo are Exhibit E pages 4-6. Reviewing this list provides more
detail on specific items related to deferred maintenance, life safety/code compliance,
security, event marketability, patron amenities and operations that are included in the
$18.6 million initial costs and total $25.8 million over 15 years.
This list was completed in 2018 and it is now nearly 5 years later. There are now
additional capital items and replacements that would need to be included from 2018 to
present.
Current Capital Improvement Funding
The current FFCC capital improvement projects in FY 23-27 are the following. Any FY
projects beyond FY23 is based upon funding availability in each of the fiscal years.

In FY 20 $6,000,000 was included into the capital improvement budget for
improvements to the building. This was done so that if a bond vote did happen and it
was not approved that improvements to the building could begin to address the deferred
maintenance costs and deferred equipment purchases. The outline below shows the
types of improvements proposed.
3
The pricing of these items below was established in the early winter of 2018 with the
thought that the work would be done in 2020 and/or 2021. The costs of construction
and equipment has risen significantly however the total of $6 million has remained
unchanged.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONIJUSTIFICAnON
This project provides for improvaments to the building (arena, theater, lobby areas, exteror) and its equipment should a bond referendum for another scenario not
pass. This would be used on the current facility at its current footprint in its currant state_ The building is in need of wood window repairs, painting of the steel
exterior, resaaling the ballroom floor, remodaliaglupgrading concession stands, carpet and file replacement, locker shower upgrades, stage dimmer light
replacement, dressing room upgrades, orchestra pit electronic lift, placement, refurbishing the stage floor, restoration of theater seats, painting walls and csilirys,
satellite ticket booth, theater counter weight and grid system, roof repairs, lighting upgrades and retrofits and other building needs. Equipment replacement needs
include the sound system, floor scrubber, tables and portable chairs, water fountains, popcorn popper, concert lighting, pipe and drapa, follow spots, lighting
consoles, masking equipment, scoreboard and other equipment replacements. New equipment necessary for a venue doing the level of business of Five Flags
include wireless internet, and more. Al projects listed have been submitted previously as individual projects with the oldest continuously submited in the budget
process since 2O03 and the majority have been submitted and cut from the budget for 11.12 years_ Civic Canter opened its doors in 1979, alongside the restored
Theater with 53.7 million bond_ Additional upgrades and renovations wsra completed in P665 for just over $2.0 million_
Conclusions Associated with Market Analysis
Key conclusions associated with the detailed market analysis from the Assessment and
Study Regarding the Future of Five Flags Civic Center (p. ES-4 & 5) included the
following. These conclusions were not specific to Scenario 2.
1. Market support exists for both Arena and Theater components. Market research
and analysis conducted for this study indicates that demand exists for both the
arena and performing arts theater functions in Dubuque that the FFCC provides.
These types of facilities would be expected to continue to have important roles in
the Dubuque marketplace into the foreseeable future.
2. Local quality of life and economic activity would be negatively impacted without a
venue serving these roles. The FFCC has long -served an important role in
Dubuque and the region, accommodating a significant portion of local sports,
entertainment and performing arts event demand, including certain activity that
other local event facilities could not, or would not, accommodate. Important events,
entertainment opportunities, attendance, and community
exposure would be lost and negatively impacted without either of these types of
facilities. Should the FFCC be decommissioned and no other replacements are
developed, other local venues would not be able to sufficiently accommodate the
FFCC's displaced activity.
3. The FFCC Theater is an historic asset that should be protected. The FFCC Theater
continues to serve an important market niche for a small fixed -seating venue space
in Dubuque. It has been and continues to serve as an important asset to the local
19
performing arts. Improvements to the FFCC Theater are not expected to
significantly increase market share or attendance; however,
impactful enhancements could be made to support spaces associated with the
Theater to improve its efficiency, financial performance, and marketability.
4. The FFCC's current location is ideal for an entertainment/sports/arts complex. The
existing location maximizes synergy from an attendee and an economic
perspective, leveraging a pedestrian -friendly environment with a density of nearby
visitor amenities, attractions and transportation/parking infrastructure. It serves to
draw people into the downtown core, enhancing the downtown's overall health. In
most cases, cities who are planning new arena and/or theater facilities first look to
their downtown central business districts for available development parcels, given
the high density of amenities and a walkable environment.
5. Significant upgrades to the FFCC Arena product are needed to better compete for
and serve spectator and entertainment event segments. While the FFCC Arena
was originally designed to accommodate a wide variety of event types and uses,
modern industry expectations nationwide have led toward the development and
gravitation to more specialized -purpose facilities. In recent years, Dubuque has
partially responded to these trends, through the development of the Grand River
Center (conventions/meetings/exhibitions) and the Mystique Community Ice Center
(ice sports and rec). The result is that spectator/entertainment events remain as the
key current and potential future target event segment for the FFCC Arena.
6. The FFCC Arena has exceeded its practical life. At a minimum, significant
investment is required to shift the facility closer to state -of -the -industry standards to
address deferred capital repair/replacement items, improve operating efficiency and
functionality, and allow it to continue accommodating existing event activity and
grow future market share. Failure to do so will likely result in continued erosion of
market share and diminishing event, performance and attendance levels at the
FFCC Arena. Further, a minimum capital repair/replacement expenditure will be
necessary in the near -term just to address life safety issues and maintain minimum
operational
functionality.
7. The FFCC Arena physical product and functionality is industry substandard. There
are many aspects of the existing FFCC Arena that do not conform, or are
substandard, relative to state -of the -industry arenas (in the competitive environment
and nationwide). In many respects, the FFCC Arena possess attributes that are
more consistent with a multipurpose flat floor exhibition facility than with a modern
spectator/entertainment arena. As will be discussed further in the subsequent
chapter, given the existing FFCC's footprint and structural elements, it likely would
be significantly challenging —if not impossible —to renovate the existing FFCC
Arena structure into a state -of -the industry sports/entertainment arena. An
expanded site area and a major redevelopment likely would be necessary to meet
minimum requirements for a long-term sports/entertainment venue solution.
8. Investment in FFCC enhancements or redevelopment would be expected to drive
new activity and positive impacts. A distinct opportunity exists for Dubuque to
capture new sports, entertainment and performing arts events with a new/improved
0
event facility product —specifically, through a modern arena venue that is more
consistent with state -of -the -industry standards, allowing it to protect existing
business and compete for new business.
9. The highest -and -best -use of the FFCC asset (building and land) is a multipurpose
civic/entertainment/arts complex. Based on the entirety of the research, community
outreach, and analysis conducted for this study, there are not any compelling
reasons to demolish the FFCC Arena and redevelop the site for an alternate use.
There is not believed to be any apparent compelling alternate use or more attractive
economic opportunity for the City and its citizens to consider permanent retirement
or relocation of a long-standing, productive community asset in the heart of
Dubuque's downtown. These findings are also consistent with the Arts and Culture
Master Plan that was previously adopted by the City Council.
