RE: DUBUQUE RACING ASSOCIATION LEASE
DUBUQUE RACING ASSOCIATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS — LOT 1 OF
CHAPLAIN SCHMITT ISLAND REQUESTING CONSENT OF CITY TO IMPROVEMENTS,
LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE &SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
The City of Dubuque in conjunction with the Dubuque Racing Association (DRA) and
community participants have worked diligently for years to procure a Chaplain Schmitt
Island Master Plan and Schmitt Island Placemaking & Implementation Plan.
Work on implementation of the plans has been ongoing. The biggest project to date has
been the Veteran's Memorial. A Community Project Funding grant was received via
Representative Hinson for construction of the Veterans Memorial Trailhead Project and
will be constructed in 2024.
The Chaplain Schmitt Island Master Plan as adopted in 2014 and amended in 2017. The
Chaplain Schmitt Island Placemaking & Implementation Plan was adopted in 2017.
The goals of the plan were largely recreational focused and included connecting and
expanding access to the riverFront, creation of educational opportunities on the island,
highlighting the unique characteristics of the island, bringing new visitors to the island,
and offering activities and events for all seasons.
The largest tenant on the island is the DRA leasing and operating Q Casino. The DRA in
has proposed $130+ million dollars in public and private improvements to the island. The
improvements include:
Public Improvements

o Veterans Memorial Trailhead Project

Private Improvements
• Construction of a new 8-story, 108 room Hilton Tapestry Collection hotel
adjacent to the existing Hilton Garden Inn, including an upscale rooftop
restaurant, lounge, and event space overlooking the Mississippi River
• Interior casino remodel, including elevated bar with bar top slot machines and
updated showroom, new Sports Book, and new sports bar.
• New banquet space and party rooms
• Additional of a family entertainment zone for all ages with high-end arcade
games
• Exterior upgrades including the fa�ade, signage, landscaping, and surface
parking
• included a recreational focus for the island and included the concept of an
amphitheater on the island. When funding through Destination lowa became
available the City applied for funding toward construction of lowa Amphitheater
on Schmitt Island. The City was successful in its application receiving $3 million
towards construction of an amphitheater from the state of lowa.
The lowa Amphitheater on Schmitt Island project will be a significant investment in an
outdoor amphitheater. The project is the centerpiece of ongoing efforts coordinated by
the DRA to create a recreational landmark and gateway into lowa — with the goal being
to enhance outdoor recreational amenities and activities on the island and increase
tourism in Dubuque and the tri-state region.
The DRA will contribute to the project financially, paying the City's debt payment related
to construction of the amphitheater and desires to lease the amphitheater property from
the City.
A lease has been negotiated between the City and DRA for Lots 2 and 3 of Chaplain
Schmitt Island which contains the area where the amphitheater will be constructed by the
City.
Public hearing on the lease is proposed for September 18, 2023, in the attached
resolution and public notice.

relating to, arising out of, resulting from ar in any way connected with: (a) the presence in, on or under
the Subject Property of any Hazardous Materials, as defined by reference in the Credit Agreement, or any
releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from the Subject Property; (b) any
violation of Hazardous Materials Laws (as defined in the Credit Agreement); or (c) any activity carried

contamination on or under the Subject Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any
contamination of any property or natural resources, arising in connection with the generation, use,

of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, codes and
ardinances. It is provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be obligated to indemnify, protect, defend
or save harmless an Indemnified Party if, and to the extent that, any such loss, damage, expense or liability
was caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Mortgagor
acknowledges that Mortgagee's appraisal of the Subj ect Property is such that Mortgagee would not extend
the Loan but far the liability undertaken by Mortgagor for the obligations under this Section. The
obligations of Mortgagor under this Section are separate from and in addition to the obligations to pay the
[16]
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other obligations
secured by, or imposed under, this Mortgage. The liability of Mortgagor under this Section 5.16 shall not
be limited to or measured by the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby or the value of the Subject
Property. Mortgagor shall be fully liable for all obligations of Mortgagor under this Section. Mortgagor
waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar to the enforcement of this Section or to any
action brought to enforce this Section 5.16. This Section 5.16 shall not affect, impair or waive any rights
or remedies of Mortgagee or any obligations of Mortgagor with respect to Hazardous Materials created or
imposed by Hazardous Materials Laws (including Mortgagee's rights of reimbursement or contribution
under Hazardous Materials Laws). The remedies under this Section 5.16 are cumulative and in addition
to all remedies provided by law.
(b) In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party based upon any of the
above and in respect to which indemnity may be sought against Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall promptly
notify Mortgagor in writing, and Mortgagor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel selected by Mortgagor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the payment of all
costs and expenses and the right to negotiate and consent to settlement upon the consent of the Indemnified
Party. Upon reasonable determination made by an Indemnified Party that such counsel would have a
conflict representing such Indemnified Party and Mortgagor, the applicable Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ, at the expense of Mortgagor, separate counsel in any such action and to participate in
the defense thereof. Mortgagor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without
its consent, but if settled with Mortgagor's consent, or if there be a final judgment for the claimant in any
such action, Mortgagor agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless such Indemnified Parties from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
5.17 Environmental Certificate. Concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement,
Mortgagor shall execute an instrument entitled "Certificate and Indemnification Regarding Hazardous
Materials" (which, together with all amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals or restatements
thereof, is referred to herein as the `Bnvironmental Certificate"). Mortgagor further acknowledges and
agrees that it is bound by the terms and conditions of the Environmental Certificate.

Primary Lease and Mortgagee has no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this
