DATE: June 13, 2024
Economic Development Director Jill Connors is recommending City Council adopt the
attached resolution on a proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement by
and between the City of Dubuque, Iowa and South Pointe, L.L.C., providing for the
issuance of Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Obligations.
The South Pointe Housing Urban Renewal Area was originally established by the City
Council on March 20, 2017. The purpose of creating the Area was to facilitate the
construction of much needed housing and residential development in the Dubuque area
market.
To incentivize the development of residential housing in the Area, the City Council
directed tax increment collected in the Area to incentivize the development and assist in
the necessary public improvements required for the creation of new housing for a period
of ten years.
The ordinance related to South Pointe is set to expire in 2029. However, due to supply
chain delays during and following the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic
impacts including increased material costs and higher lending interest rates, the
development of the South Pointe and housing construction has slowed significantly,
delaying the anticipated timeframe for development of the residential housing. Greater
Dubuque Development Corporation President and CEO Rick Dickinson proposed to the
city and the developer that an extension of the term of the TIF rebates be proposed to
the state legislature. Rick Dickinson made that proposal to our local legislators and they
advocated for passage and this prompted the Iowa legislature and the Governor to
pass legislation authorizing a three-year extension of housing urban renewal areas for
the areas which were in existence prior to January 1, 2018. This would extend the
timeframe for division of revenue authorized by the City Council which would assist the
Developer of South Pointe in creating much needed housing.
Three documents must be approved in order to carry out the provision of the authorized
extension of three years of tax increment reimbursements.
Development Agreement — this is the agreement between the City and South
Pointe, L.L.C, providing for the TIF payments. The First Amendment to this
Development Agreement is the subject of this memorandum.
2. Urban Renewal Plan — this is the agreement among City, County, and School
District which allows the City to collect the tax increment revenue used to
provide the reimbursements committed in the Development Agreement. This
document is in the process of being modified and is intended to be brought
to City Council for approval June 17, 2024.
3. Extension Agreement — this is an additional agreement among City, County, and
School District which specifically calls out the 3-year extension approved by the
legislature. This document was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June
3, 2024, and by the School Board on June 10, 2024.
The key elements of the First Amendment to Development Agreement include the
following:
1. The park Developer was originally required to construct is now optional.
2. The amount of reimbursement for park construction costs has been increased to a
maximum $200,000 if the Developer opts to build the park.
3. Reimbursement of eligible expenses has been extended by three years and
provided at an accelerated rate subject to the consent of the County and School
District for the extension.
4. The City is no longer obligated to make improvements to portions of Rockdale
Road.
5. The City agrees to accept streets within the subdivision if/when brought to City
standards.
6. The Developer will receive 100% of the remaining yearly increment after the
deduction of the LMI Housing Assistance set -aside, not to exceed actual
expenditures for the Qualified Infrastructure Improvement Costs made after June
1, 2024.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration and action the attached
resolution approving a First Amendment to the Development Agreement by and between
the City of Dubuque, Iowa and South Pointe, L.L.C., providing for the issuance of Urban
Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Obligations.
BACKGROUND
The South Pointe Housing Urban Renewal Area (the Area) was originally established by
Resolution 101-17 by the City Council of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, on March 20, 2017.
The purpose of creating the Area was to facilitate the construction of much needed housing
and residential development in the Dubuque area market, as described in the South Pointe
Housing Urban Renewal Area Plan, and as defined by the Iowa Code §403.17(12).
To incentivize the development of residential housing in the Area, Ordinance 11-17-A was
approved by City Council for the division of revenue within the Area. This allows the City
to redirect tax increment collected in the Area to incentivize the development and assist
in the necessary public improvements required for the creation of new housing. Per Iowa
Code Section §403.19 the City of Dubuque was limited to collecting tax increment for a
period of ten years in that District.
The Development Agreement was executed to provide for reimbursements to the
Developer for eligible expenses, using tax increment revenue collected in the Area.
DISCUSSION
Ordinance 11-17-A, which established the South Pointe TIF District, is set to expire in
2029. However, due to supply chain delays during and following the COVID-19 pandemic
and subsequent economic impacts including increased material costs and higher lending
interest rates, the development of the South Pointe and housing construction has slowed
significantly, delaying the anticipated timeframe for development of the residential
housing. As this impact was felt statewide, and there is already a critical shortage of
housing, it prompted the Iowa legislature and the Governor to pass legislation authorizing
a three-year extension of housing urban renewal areas for the areas which were in
existence prior to January 1, 2018 (Iowa Code §403.22(5)(c)). This would extend the
timeframe for division of revenue authorized by Ordinance 11-17-A through 2032 which
would assist the Developer of South Pointe in creating much needed housing.
Three documents must be approved in order to carry out the provision of the authorized
extension of three years of tax increment reimbursements.
1. Development Agreement — this is the agreement between the City and South
Pointe, L.L.C, providing for the TIF payments. The First Amendment to this
Development Agreement is the subject of this memorandum.
2. Urban Renewal Plan — this is the agreement by and among the City, the County,
and the School District which allows the City to collect the tax increment revenue
used to provide the reimbursements committed in the Development Agreement.
This document is in the process of being modified and is intended to be brought to
the City Council for approval June 17, 2024.
3. Extension Agreement — this is an additional agreement by and among the City, the
County, and the School District which specifically calls out the 3-year extension
approved by the legislature. This document was approved by the Board of
Supervisors on June 3, 2024 and by the Dubuque Community School District
Board of Education on June 10, 2024. It will be presented to the City Council on
June 17, 2024 for approval as part of the approval of the Amended and Restated
Urban Renewal Area Plan for the South Pointe Housing Urban Renewal Area.
The key elements of the First Amendment to Development Agreement include the
following:
2
1. The park which Developer was originally required to construct is now optional.
2. The amount of reimbursement for park construction costs has been increased to a
maximum $200,000 if the Developer opts to build the park.
3. Reimbursement of eligible expenses has been extended by three years and
provided at an accelerated rate subject to the consent of the County and the School
District for the extension
4. The City is no longer obligated to make improvements to portions of Rockdale Road.
5. The City agrees to accept streets within the subdivision if/when brought to City
standards.
6. The Developer will receive 100% of the remaining yearly increment after the
deduction of the LMI Housing Assistance set -aside, not to exceed actual
expenditures for the Qualified Infrastructure Improvement Costs made after June 1,
2024.
