QUANN, ESQ. ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY To: Michael Van Milligen City Manager DATE: September 21, 2012 ahow.4.4takA--,----- RE: Bowling & Beyond Dubuque, Inc. Agreement to Terminate Leases and Approval of Payment for Agreement INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a resolution to set a public hearing on October 15, 2012 to consider the proposed Agreement to Terminate Leases (the "Agreement ") with Bowling & Beyond Dubuque, Inc. ( "Bowling & Beyond "). The proposed Agreement would allow the City to regain control and possession of the property located at 1860 Hawthorne Street, the location of Bowling & Beyond, for further redevelopment and reinvestment. BACKGROUND On August 6, 2012, the City Council passed Resolution of Necessity No. 207 -12, finding that areas adjacent to the existing Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District meet the definition of an economic area under the Urban Renewal Law, Iowa Code Chapter 403, and that development of these areas is necessary in the interest of the residents of the City of Dubuque. The property where Bowling & Beyond is located (the "Property ") is one of these adjacent areas. • A public hearing is set for October 1, 2012 on a proposed Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan. If the City Council chooses to adopt the proposed Resolution Approving the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District on October 1, 2012, the Property will be included in the newly expanded Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District (the "District "). The Property was originally leased on a long -term basis by the City of Dubuque through its Board of Dock Commissioners to Riverside Bowl, Inc. on May 2, 1958. At that time, the flood wall was not yet built, and the Property was constantly at risk of flooding. As OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DUBUQUE, IOWA SUITE 330, HARBOR VIEW PLACE, 300 MAIN STREET DUBUQUE, IA 52001 -6944 TELEPHONE (563) 589 -4381 / FAx (563) 583 -1040 / EMAIL mquann @cityofdubuque.org the area in which the Property is located has been developed and protected by the floodwall, this lease has become disadvantageous and much less profitable than possible for the City. City staff was approached by Bowling & Beyond about buying out or terminating its leasehold interest in the Property. After lengthy negotiations, it was determined that the consideration for terminating the leasehold interest would be $1,000,000.00 (the "Purchase Price "), paid over the course of twenty (20) years, without interest, as follows: $50,000.00 at closing and $50,000.00 annually on the anniversary of the closing until the Purchase Price is paid in full. The City would execute a promissory note for the remaining balance of the Purchase Price after the initial payment is made at closing. Under Iowa Code Sections 384.24A, 384.24(3)(q), and 384.25, which are attached, it is appropriate that the governing body hold a public hearing to discuss entering into this Agreement, and that notice of the public hearing be published in the newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to the public hearing. DISCUSSION Terminating Bowling & Beyond's leasehold interest and regaining possession and control of the Property would be beneficial for the following reasons: • According to an appraisal performed by Felderman Appraisals, the fair market value of the land and building is $2,118,000.00. The City has been offered the opportunity to buy out or terminate the leasehold interest, thus owning the land and building outright, for $1,000,000.00, over $1,000,000.00 below fair market value. • The current Bowling & Beyond leases for the Property are long -term leases that do not expire until 2058 and only generate annual rental for the City in the amount of $5,174.44 for the leased area of 4.5634 acres. The City pays property taxes for the Property in the amount of $3,542.00 per year. This results in a net rental income of $1,632.44 per year — only $357.72 per acre per year. Terminating the existing leases would allow the City to enter into a more beneficial lease or leases that generate significantly greater rental income for the City. • The Property could be redeveloped for possible City use such as office space or other uses. • Currently the Property is not open for business and sits unused. Reclamation of riverfront property for further redevelopment and reinvestment is consistent with City Council goals and the goals of the District in which the Property is included. RECOMMENDATION I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Setting Date for Public Hearing on October 15, 2012 for consideration of the Agreement between the City and Bowling & Beyond.
