This memorandum is a request for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution
setting a public hearing for November 3, 2025 on a proposed Amended and Restated
Lease Agreement by and between the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and Pier Pressure Marine
IA, Inc.
BACKGROUND
Pier Pressure Marine IA, Inc. (Lessee) has been the tenant of the property located at 1201
Shiras Avenue Extension since executing an initial lease with the City of Dubuque on
October 29, 1956. Lessee operates a marina along the Peosta Channel off the Mississippi
River including such services as annual boat slip rentals, winter boat storage, full -service
restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining, boating supplies/marine parts store, transient boat
docks, live music events.
DISCUSSION
Knowing that Lessee's lease was scheduled to expire December 31, 2028, City staff
ordered a Market Rent Analysis from a reputable firm in 3rd Quarter of 2024 to prepare for
lease negotiations. The results of that analysis indicated that applying a static dollar value
as a rent rate was not common practice for marinas and instead proposed using a
percentage of gross sales as a basis for rent payments.
Page 489 of 817
In March 2025, City staff communicated to Lessee that we would welcome a proposal for
an extension of its lease. Lessee provided a proposal for lease renewal terms June 23,
2025. Staff discussions and negotiations have led to a proposed amended and restated
lease agreement with the following key elements:
1. The Amended and Restated Lease will be in effect from January 1, 2029 to
December, 2053.
2. The Leased Premises will be used only for the services and amenities described in
Section 1.3, and no other purposes without the prior written consent of the City.
3. Rent will be 3% of gross sales of the prior calendar year.
4. Lessee will construct improvements on the Leased Premises as described in Exhibit
B of the agreement within the timeframes set forth in that exhibit.
5. Upon termination of the lease, Lessee will be responsible for removing any of the
new improvements if City so requests.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution setting a November 3, 2025
public hearing to consider the adoption of a Proposed Amended and Restated Lease
Agreement by and between the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and Pier Pressure Marine IA, Inc.

Property insurance against loss and/or damage to Improvements under an
insurance policy written on the Special Perils Form in an amount not less

"replacement value" shall mean the actual replacement cost of
Improvements (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of

replaced by another policy conforming to the provisions of this Section 9, or that there is
no necessity therefor under the terms hereof. In lieu of separate policies, Lessee may
maintain a single policy, or blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, which
provide the total coverage required herein, in which event Lessee shall deposit with
Lessor a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of coverage
in force upon Improvements, provided, however, the specific limit shall not be impaired.
10.4. Lessee agrees to notify Lessor immediately in the case of damage exceeding

substantially the same or an improved condition or value as they existed prior to the event
causing such damage and, to the extent necessary to accomplish such repair,

whether or not the Net Proceeds of insurance received by Lessee for such purposes are
sufficient. Lessee shall apply the Net Proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage
received by Lessee to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof, subject,
however, to the terms of any mortgage encumbering title to the Leased Premises.
SECTION 11. LESSOR'S WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

as provided in 14.2, and Lessee shall proceed with reasonable diligence to carry
out any necessary repair and restoration, but only to the extent of the award to

ninety (90) days. In the event that the Lease is terminated due to the Lessee's
bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings, and in the event the Holder has complied
with the terms of this 16.2, then Lessor at Holder's option, shall enter into a new lease
with Holder or the successful bidder at foreclosure on the same terms as this Lease, for
the term then remaining, and specifically preserving all unexercised options.
16.3. Lessee's Rights in the Event of Lessor's Default. If Lessor shall fail or neglect to

diligence within thirty (30) days, the time within which Lessor has to cure the same shall
be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the same with all due
diligence, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days), then and in any such event,
Lessee shall have all rights available to it provided by law or equity. If Lessor's default

condition or agreement which is in default, in which event such defaulting party shall
reimburse such other party upon demand, and from time to time, for all costs and
expenses suffered or incurred by such other party in so complying with or performing
such term, covenant, condition or agreement. The commencement of any work or the
taking of any other steps or performance of any other act by such other party pursuant to

SECTION 20. WAIVER. No waiver by either party hereto of any breach by the other
of any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein and no failure by any party to
exercise any right or remedy in respect of any breach hereunder, shall constitute a waiver
or relinquishment for the future of any such term, covenant, condition or agreement or of
any subsequent breach of any such term, covenant, condition or agreement, nor bar any
right or remedy of the other party in respect of any such subsequent breach, nor shall the
receipt of any rent, or any portion thereof, by Lessor, operate as a waiver of the rights of
Lessor to enforce the payment of any other rent then or thereafter in default, or to
terminate this Lease, or to recover the Leased Premises, or to invoke any other
appropriate remedy which Lessor may select as herein or by law provided.
SECTION 21. SURRENDER. Lessee shall, on the last day of the term of this Lease
