INTRODUCTION
This memorandum is a request for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution
setting a public hearing for February 20, 2023 on a proposed Development Agreement
by and between the City of Dubuque and Seippel Warehouse, LLC (Developer)
providing for the sale of city-owned real estate to Seippel Warehouse, LLC and the
issuance of Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Grant Obligations.
BACKGROUND
Gronen was founded in the 1990's, while the company worked to address some of the
vacant and neglected buildings in downtown Dubuque. Through its rehabilitation
projects, the company expanded into real estate development, property management,
and enhanced its construction capabilities. Today, Gronen manages over 2 million
square feet of commercial and residential real estate, including 150+ residential
apartments. Gronen has completed projects with development costs in excess of
$300,000,000 — both historic and new construction projects.
In 2020, Gronen partnered with Simmons Pet Food Inc. (Simmons) to facilitate the
repurposing of an existing facility at 501 Seippel Road to accommodate Simmons's
expanding national operations. In December 2020, City Council approved a
Development Agreement with Simmons. That Development Agreement included the
sale of 13.48 acres (8.42 usable acres) of City-owned property in the Dubuque
Industrial Center adjacent to the facility at 501 Seippel Road. Among other
requirements, Simmons committed to creating at least 271 full-time jobs with wages
averaging in excess of $20/hour. Simmons has invested in excess of $80 million in that
project.
DISCUSSION
Simmons is now ready to expand its operations further with the addition of warehouse
space for its product. Gronen is again partnering with Simmons in the development of
its project. Gronen proposes to construct a 190,000 square foot warehouse which it will
lease to Simmons. Gronen has established Seippel Warehouse, LLC, a limited liability
company which, as Developer, will acquire property from the City to construct this new
facility.
In concert with this proposed Development Agreement with Seippel Warehouse, LLC,
Simmons will commit to the creation of ten (10) additional full time equivalent jobs in a
separate amendment to its Development Agreement dated December 9, 2020.
The key elements of the Development Agreement include the following:
1. The purchase price is $1,489,500. ($150,000.00 per acre x 9.93 usable
acres), with a total acquisition of 15.47 acres. An Acquisition Grant to the
Developer reduces the purchase price to be paid to $75,000 per usable acre.
2. The property will be conveyed on or before February 24, 2023.
3. The Developer must construct a building of not less than 190,000 square feet
with a cost of approximately $22,500,000.
4. After the building is constructed, Seippel Warehouse, LLC will lease the
building to Simmons.
5. Simmons must retain its current 271 full-time positions at the current facility
and create 10 new jobs at the current facility or the new building by December
1, 2024. The 281 jobs must be retained through the term of the Development
Agreement.
6. The Acquisition Grant requires Simmons to create and maintain at least 281
jobs during the term of the Development Agreement.
7. The Developer will receive 10 years of tax increment financing incentives in
the form of semi-annual rebates. These incentives are calculated in relation
to the number of jobs committed in the Simmons Pet Food, Inc. First
Amendment to Development Agreement, which will be considered at the
February 20, 2023 City Council meeting, following the public hearing for the
Seippel Warehouse, LLC Development Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution setting a February 20, 2023
public hearing on the Development Agreement providing for the sale of City-owned
property and the issuance of Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Grant
Obligations.

3.2 Economic Development Grants.
A. Grants Related to Facility.
(1) For and in consideration of Developer's obligations hereunder, and in
furtherance of the goals and objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project
Area and the Urban Renewal Law, City agrees, subject to Developer being and
remaining in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, to make twenty (20)
consecutive semi-annual payments (such payments being referred to collectively
as the "Economic Development Grants") to Developer, as follows:
November 1, 2025 May 1, 2026
November 1, 2026 May 1, 2027
November 1, 2028 May 1, 2029
November 1, 2029 May 1, 2030
November 1, 2030 May 1, 2031
November 1, 2031 May 1, 2032
November 1, 2032 May 1, 2033
November 1, 2033 May 1, 2034
November 1, 2034 May 1, 2035
November 1, 2035 May 1, 2036
pursuant to lowa Code Section 403.9 of the Urban Renewal Law, in amounts equal
to the actual amount of tax increment revenues collected by City under lowa Code
Section 403.19 (without regard to any averaging that may otherwise be utilized
under lowa Code Section 403.19 and excluding any interest that may accrue
thereon prior to payment to Developer) during the preceding six-month period in
respect of the Property and Minimum Improvements constructed by Developer
thereon (the collected tax increment revenue being referred to herein as the
io
dotloop signature verification: Xv-gOKb-SFxS
"Developer Tax Increments"). City and Developer agree that for purposes of this
Section 3.2(1), the assessed value of the Property as of January 1, 2023 is
$55,625. Developer recognizes and agrees that the Economic Development
Grants shall be paid solely and only from the incremental taxes collected by City
in respect of the Property and Minimum Improvements, which does not include
property taxes collected for the payment of bonds and interest of each taxing
district, and taxes for the regular and voter-approved physical plant and equipment
levy, instructional support levy, and any other portion required to be excluded by
lowa law, and thus such incremental taxes will not include all amounts paid by
Developer as regular property taxes.
(2) To fund the Economic Development Grants, City has certified to the County
prior to December 1, 2024 and shall certify prior to December 1 of each year its
request for the available Developer Tax Increments, resulting from the
assessments imposed by the County as of January 1 of that year, to be collected
by City as taxes are paid during the following fiscal year and which shall thereafter
be disbursed to Developer on November 1 and May 1 of that fiscal year. (Example:
If City so certifies by December 1, 2024, the Economic Development Grants in
respect thereof would be paid to Developer on November 1, 2025, and May 1,
2026).
(3) The Economic Development Grants shall be payable from and secured
solely and only by the Developer Tax Increments paid to City that, upon receipt,
shall be deposited and held in a special account created for such purpose and
designated as the Seippel WarehouseTlF Account of City. City hereby covenants
and agrees to maintain its TIF ordinance in force during the Term and to apply the
incremental taxes collected in respect of the Property and Minimum Improvements
and allocated to the Seippel Warehouse TIF Account to pay the Economic
Development Grants, as and to the extent set forth in Section 3.2(1) hereof. The
Economic Development Grants shall not be payable in any manner by other tax
increments revenues or by general taxation or from any other City funds. City
makes no representation with respect to the amounts that may be paid to
Developer as the Economic Development Grants in any one year and under no
circumstances shall City in any manner be liable to Developer so long as City
timely applies the Developer Tax Increments actually collected and held in the
Seippel Warehouse TIF Account (regardless of the amounts thereof) to the
payment of the Economic Development Grants to Developer as and to the extent
described in this Section 3.2.
(4) City shall be free to use any and all tax increment revenues collected in
respect of other properties within the Project Area, or any available Developer Tax
Increments resulting from the termination or reduction of the annual Economic
Development Grants permitted under this Section 3.2, for any purpose for which
such tax increment revenues may lawfully be used pursuant to the provisions of
the Urban Renewal Law, and City shall have no obligations to Developer with
respect to the use thereof.
��

(5) All of City's obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to City's
obligation to pay the Economic Development Grants to Developer, shall be subject to
City having completed all hearings and other procedures required to amend the Urban
Renewal Plan to describe the Urban Renewal Project being undertaken in accordance
with this Agreement and to amend the ordinance for the division of revenue under lowa
Code Ch. 403. In the event City fails to complete all hearings and other procedures
required to take the actions required by this paragraph, Developer may terminate this
Agreement without further obligation to City and shall be entitled to return of any earnest
money paid.
3.3 Developer acknowledges that City and Simmons Pet Food, Inc. (Simmons) have
entered into an Amended and Restated Development Agreement dated December 9,
2020 (the Simmons Agreement), as amended February 20, 2023, which requires
Simmons to create and maintain during the Term of that Agreement 271 FTE employees
and an additional ten (10) full time equivalent employees for a total of 281 FTE
employees.
(1) For the 281 positions that Simmons fails to create, maintain and employ
during the Term of that Agreement, as shown by the certificate provided to City
under Section 6.2 of the Simmons Agreement, the semi-annual Economic
Development Grants for such year under Section 3.2 above shall be the
percentage that the number of such positions bears to the 281 positions required
to be created and maintained by Section 6.1 of the Simmons Agreement. (For
example, if the certification shows 272 FTE during any year of the Term beginning
December 31, 2024, the semi-annual Economic Development Grants would be
93.4% (272/281) of the allowable Developer Tax Increments received by City
which would be paid by City to Developer). To be counted toward the 281 FTE, the
jobs must be paid not less than the amounts indicated in the chart in Section 6.1
of the Simmons Development Agreement.
(2) Notwithstanding Section 3.3(3), City retains the right to begin withholding
semi-annual Economic Development Grant amounts beginning May 1, 2034 if the
certificate provided to City under Section 6.2 of the Simmons Agreement on
December 31, 2033 discloses that Simmons as of that date has failed to create
and maintain 281 FTE employees. In the event that the certificate provided to City
under Section 6.2 of the Simmons Agreement on December 31, 2035 discloses
that Simmons does as of that date have at least 281 FTE employees (2080 hours
per year) as provided hereinabove, City shall pay to Developer the amount of the
Economic Development Grants withheld under this Section.
3.4 Site Preparation. City reserves the right to approve, consistent with City's rights,
duties and obligations under applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, the
design and specifications for any site preparation work.
SECTION 4. NON- APPROPRIATION / LIMITED SOURCE OF FUNDING.
12
dotloop signature verification: Xv-gOKb-SFxS
4.1 Non-Appropriation.
(1) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation
of City to pay any installment of the Economic Development Grants from the
pledged tax increment revenues shall be an obligation limited to currently budgeted
funds, and not a general obligation or other indebtedness of City or a pledge of its
full faith and credit within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt
limitation, and shall be subject in all respects to the right of non-appropriation by
the City Council of City as provided in this Section 4.1. City may exercise its right
of non-appropriation as to the amount of the installments to be paid during any
fiscal year during the Term of this Agreement without causing a termination of this
Agreement. The right of non-appropriation shall be exercised only by resolution
affirmatively declaring City's election to non-appropriate funds otherwise required
to be paid in the next fiscal year under this Agreement.
(2) In the event the City Council of City elects to not appropriate sufficient funds
in the budget for any future fiscal year for the payment in full of the installments on
the Economic Development Grants due and payable in that future fiscal year, then
City shall have no further obligation to Developer for the payment of any
installments due in that future fiscal year which cannot be paid with the funds then
appropriated for that purpose.
4.2 The right of non-appropriation reserved to City in this Section 4.2 is intended by
the parties, and shall be construed at all times, so as to ensure that City's obligation to
pay future installments on the Economic Development Grants shall not constitute a legal
indebtedness of City within the meaning of any applicable constitutional or statutory debt
limitation prior to the adoption of a budget which appropriates funds for the payment of
that installment or amount. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to create, or result in the creation of, such
a legal indebtedness of City, the enforcement of the said provision shall be suspended,
and the Agreement shall at all times be construed and applied in such a manner as will
preserve the foregoing intent of the parties, and no event of default shall be deemed to
have occurred as a result thereof. If any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof to any circumstance is so suspended, the suspension shall not affect other
provisions of this Agreement which can be given effect without the suspended provision,
and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are severable. Provided, however, in the
event City elects not to appropriate sufficient funds in the budget for any fiscal year for
the payment in full of the installments on the Economic Development Grants due and
payable in that year, then Developer may terminate this Agreement without any further
obligation to City hereunder, provided, however that Developer shall reconvey Parcels A
and B to City as provided in Section 6.4, but only if Developer has not constructed any of
the Minimum Improvements on Parcel A or Parcel B.
