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. In 2022 the City invested millions of dollars in improvements
to ImOn Arena. Additional improvements to the arena are currently in process.
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 approximately $90 million dollars in public and private improvements to the
island. The improvements completed or proposed include:

Public Improvements
• lowa Amphitheater on Chaplain Schmitt Island
• Veterans Memorial Trailhead Project
• Proposed $40 million Chaplain Schmitt Island connectivity and access
improvements including a railroad overpass at 14th Street
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

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

surface parking
The private improvements to the island necessitate:
• Consent to the improvements by the City as required by the lease for any
improvements over $100,000
• Financing of the improvements by the DRA. The lender for DRA, which is
MidWestOne Bank, requires:
■ City consent to a leasehold mortgage
■ City agreement to subordination of its lease in favor of the
MidWestOne Bank
• Updates to the lease between the City and DRA
An amended lease has been negotiated between the City and DRA for Lot 1 of Chaplain
Schmitt Island which contains the area where the casino, existing hotel and restaurant,
and the new hotel are located. The lease:
■ Consolidates separate leases for the casino and hotel/restaurant into a single
lease
■ Adds a Consumer Price Index escalator on the lease payment related to the hotel
and restaurant
■ Establishes a Debt Payment Reserve Fund of$7 million over five (5) years
■ Clarifies responsibility for environmental issues
■ Allows usage of $3 million of funds in the Cash Reserve Fund by the DRA for
downpayment on the construction improvements
2
■ Continued approval for carryover of $2.5 million from fiscal year 2022 budgeted
for debt payments by DRA toward the downpayment on the construction loan for
the improvements
The leasehold mortgage and subordination agreement have been reviewed and
negotiated between the parties. The City Attorney's Office consulted with outside counsel
as well.
Public hearing on the lease along with consent to and approval of the improvements,
leasehold mortgage, and subordination agreement is scheduled for September 18, 2023.
Staff respectfully recommends approval.
