DISCUSSION
A committee of Assistant City Managers Cindy Steinhauser and Teri Goodman, Budget
Director Jenny Larson, Economic Development Director Maurice Jones, Assistant City
Attorney Crenna Brumwell, Park Division Manager Steve Fehsal, Project Manager
Steve Brown, Civil Engineer Deron Muehring and Leisure Services Manager Marie
Ware reviewed, edited and recommend the policy attached. The policy addresses
naming levels and naming amenities, donor recognition area, naming convention,
naming commitment, process for handling name changes, revoking names in certain
situations and length of time for naming right and approval.
Research of city naming policies was completed prior to drafting the attached
recommendation. Naming policies are very common for cities. A review was also
completed of prior City of Dubuque naming approval by the City Council which is
outlined above. This policy contains some commonalities of the city's naming policy
history as well as incorporates best practices found in city naming policies from across
the country.
With a policy in place specific city department personnel will work with the organization
or non-profit such as KIDS (Kids Skate in Dubuque) and Miracle League of Dubuque in
the development of a fundraising and naming request specific to their project. This
proposal would then be brought forward to the City Council. The attached policy creates
overall policies yet allows non-profits and organizations to look at the specifics of their
project and bring forth a proposal for naming levels and naming amenities as well as
donor recognition area(s) for the City Council's review and approval. This allows
maximum flexibility based upon the specific project being proposed.
ACTION REQUESTED
We respectfully recommend on behalf of the committee and request approval of the
Fundraising and Naming Recognition Policy to the City Council.

THE CITY OF
Fundraising and Naming Recognition Policy �U$ E
For Major Capital Projects
O11 Clt)/ L111C�S OP UIIC�@P Clt)/ JUPISC�1Ct1011 Masterpiece on the Mississippi
The City recognizes the enormous value of direct community support. The purpose of
this policy is to fairly and equitably recognize the generous contributions of donors to
capital projects constructed by the city as well as non-profits and organizations on city
lands or under city jurisdiction. The intent is to insure that philanthropic traditions are
fostered, that donors are treated consistently and fairly and that the contributions are
recognized in ways that support the city and its values.
Each project will outline specific naming opportunities to the appropriate city department
staff for review. The naming opportunities and levels will be presented and approved by
the City Council. This policy serves as the parameters of fundraising and naming to be
used by the City as well as non-profits and organizations with major capital projects on
city lands and/or under city jurisdiction. Special requests not addressed in this policy
will be considered through the approval process.
Naming Levels and Naming Amenities
Naming levels and naming of amenities will be proposed by the non-profit or
organization working on a major capital project on city lands or under city jurisdiction.
The proposal will be reviewed and must be approved by the City Council.
Donor Recognition Area
If a project has a donor recognition area proposed for listing donations in one place at
the site, the design of the donor recognition area must be approved by the City Council.
The City commits to maintain the donor recognition area for the life of the recognition
area. At end of life the recognition area will be removed.
Naming Conventions
Names that are discriminatory or derogatory will not be considered. If a name is
determined to be inappropriate, incorrect or offensive a process to identify an alternate
name will be required.
Naming shall generally be by first and last name, business or non-profit name, unless
another form is specifically requested by the donor and approved by City Council.
1
5-9-17
Naming Commitment
Each donor or donor representative must sign a letter of agreement that clearly defines
the terms and conditions of the donation. It will be signed by the donor and a city or
organization representative. Organizations would provide all signed agreements to the
City upon completion of the project. The agreement will outline the donation and length
of time for naming right.
Length of Time for Naming Right
Naming shall last for the life of the amenity, until such time that the amenity needs to be
replaced or reconstructed through normal wear and tear.
Process for Handling Name Change
The City at its sole discretion, upon request by the donor, may make a one-time change
to the name credited on a plaque or donor area provided there is a substantive reason
for the change and the donor pays all costs associated with the name change including
staff time. It is possible that the change may not be able to happen due to the donor
recognition design. The name change would need to be approved by the City Council.
Revoking Names in Certain Situations
In certain circumstances, the City reserves the right to revoke and terminate its
obligations regarding a naming with no financial responsibility for returning any received
contributions to the benefactor. These actions, and the circumstances that prompt
them, may apply to an approved naming that has not yet been acted upon or to a
conferred naming.
A. If the benefactor's or honoree's reputation changes substantially so that the
continued use of that name may compromise the public trust or otherwise be
contrary to the best interest of the City, the naming may be revoked. However,
caution must be taken when, with the passage of time, the standards and
achievements deemed to justify a naming action may change and observers of a
later age may deem those who have conferred a naming honor at an earlier age
to have erred. Naming should not be altered simply because later observers
would have made different judgements;
B. If the benefactor fails to maintain payments on a pledge upon with the naming
was bestowed, the name may be revoked;
C. If a planned gift upon which the naming was bestowed does not result in the
value agreed upon, the naming may be revoked.

THE CITY OF �
DuB E MEMORANDUM
��.`���
August 3, 2005
TO: Michael C. Van Millgen, City Manager
FROM: Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manage
SUBJECT: Naming Opportunities at the Grand River Center and other City properties
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you information on naming opportunities
for city properties and to recommend a revision to the current cost for each area.
Backqround
In June 2003, the City Council approved the following naming opportunities and
sponsorship levels for different spaces at the Grand River Center (GRC), the proposed
Shot Tower Visitor Center and Water Works Park. Naming opportunities are those in
which the donation represents a significant giving level and then a name is associated
with the space. For example, the American Trust Rivers Edge Plaza was a fulfilled
naming opportunity. These are different than commemorative opportunities which are
those in where the giving level warrants special recognition. An example is the Pavilion
at the Rivers Edge Plaza made possible through the generosity of Rotary.
The following were the approved locations and amounts for Naming Opportunities:
• GRC meeting room (six total) $ 250,000/each
• Outdoor "Tri-State" Plaza West Entrance $ 250,000
• Outdoor Plaza East Entrance $ 250,000 *fulfilled
• Fountain/Garden Area in front of Center $ 250,000 *fulfilled
• Skywalk to Grand Harbor Resort $ 500,000
• Prefunction Space outside Ballroom $ 1 million
• GRC ballroom $ 1 million
• GRC exhibit hall $ 2.5 million
• River Room $ 1 million
• Amphitheather $ 250,000 '"ful�lled
• Rivers Edge Plaza � $ 250,000 ''fulfilled
. . _ . . . . . .. . . . . ..
• Shot Tower Visitor Center $ 1 million
• Water Works Park $ 500,000
In establishing these levels, city staff reviewed information on naming opportunities of
similar sized communities and projects, analyzed the cost of the space and size of the
space in relationship to the entire project. In addition, city staff reviewed the information
with HOK Venue, the internationa{ architect firm that designed the Grand River Center
and has assisted previous clients with naming rights, and with Teri Goodmann and Jerry
Enzler from the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium (NMRMA),
The following naming opportunities were reviewed as part of this research:
• Hy-Vee Center Des Moines - $8 million over 20 years *ful�lled
• Midwest Express Center Milwaukee - $9.25 million over 15 years •fu�fi��ed
• Alliant Energy Center Madison - $6.3 million over 20 years *fulfilled
• Touchstone Energy Place St. Paul —2.35 million 10 years '"fulfilled
• NMRMA Wetland - $1 million *fu�t'i��ed ,
• NMRMA Auditorium & Theater- $500,00 *fu�fi��ed
• NMRMA Reading Room - $250,000 *fulfilled
• Figge Art Center (FAC) Davenport - $12 million "fulfilled
� - FAC North Plaza space $3 million *fu/filled
- FAC Exhibit Gallery $3 millian *fulfilled
- FAC Lobby $1 million *fulfilled
- FAC Gallery space $1 million *fulfilled
- FAC Library $500,000 '"fulfilled
- FAC South Entrance $250,000 *fu��iiled
- FAC Gift Shop $10Q,000 *fulfilled
Discussion
Recently the City has been approached about naming opportunities and levels
previously approved to obtain naming rights. In response to this, I have again reviewed
the informatian with the parties noted above as well as visited with representatives from
SMG, Inc., an international private management firm for Convention and Conference
Center that has experience is soliciting naming rights. The consistent message that
each of these firms stated was that people are interested in naming rights for two
reasons 1) community philanthrapy and 2) marketing opportunities. They all also
agreed that the amount of marketing opportunities through naming rights is abundant
and very competitive. Based upon this input I would recommend that the naming
opportunity amount for the GRC and other city properties be revised as follows:
• GRC meeting room (six total) $ 100,000/each
• Outdoor "Tri-State" Plaza West Entrance $ 200,000
• Skywalk to Grand Harbor Resort $ 200,000
• GRC Lower Lobby space $ 200,000+
. • Prefunction Space outside Ballroom $ 400,000
• GRC ballroom $ 500,000
• GRC exhibit hall $ 1 million
• River Room $ 500,000
• Shot Tower Visitor Center $ 450,OOQ
• Water Works Park $ 500,000
+Not previously on the naming opportunity lisf but being recommended
Lastly, a consistent theme in reviewing naming rights with the parties above was that
the city may want to consider establishing a term limit on those naming rights that
represent marketing opportunities for a business as opposed to those that are purely
philanthropic. As shown above, several of the examples had limits from ten to twenty
years. This is consistent with industry standards. Based upon this, I wauld further
recommend that a 15-year term be established for naming oppor�unities in the Ballroom,
Exhibit Hall, River Room and Lower Lobby.
Request
The requested action is for City Council to adopt the revised recommendations
regarding naming opportunities.
EXHIBIT B
History of Donor Recognition
National Mississippi River Museum &Aquarium
1978 to 1982: Establish Fred W.Woodward Riverboat Museum and acquire Wm. M. Black
The effort to establish the Riverboat Museum, what is the National Mississippi River Museum&
Aquarium today,was let by Wayne A.Noi�rnan, Sr. The goal was $800,000 and the Historical
Society raised$1.1 million, exceeding the$600,000 matching requirement by raising$900,000.
IVlatching funds included$100,000 for the value of the William M. Black. Leadership gifts
included:
1) Bob and Ruth Kehl donated the Burlington Northern freight house in December, 1978. It
was valued at$50,000 (equal to $195,500 in 2015 dollars)with naming recognition at the
entry to the building.
2) The Woodward Foundation gave a$200,000 challenge grant in February, 1979 (equal to
$726,819 in 2015 dollars), requiring$600,000 of matching funds. The freight house
would be named the Fred W. Woodward Riverboat Museum. Gift was 25% of the total
goal.
3) Grant from the Maritime Program of the National Park Service/National Trust of
$135,000.No naming because it was a government grant.
A donor panel was created at the entrance to the Woodward Riverboat Museum consisting of
engraved brass plates mounted on wooden plaque with donors recognized by gift category. There
were no individual names on specific exhibits..
1983 to 1986: Completion of Woodward Museum, Creation of National Rivers Hall of
Fame,Establishment of the Endowment,Development, and Education
In 1982 The Society received a$200,000 NEH Challenge Grant with the requirement that we
raise$600,000 in matching funds to continue the development of the museum as well as
establish a$200,000 endowment. Including the NEH challenge grant, we raised a total of$1.2
million. The donors to this 1982-1985 campaign were recognized by adding their names to the
existing plaque at the entrance to the Woodward Riverboat Museum.No donors were recognized
on individual e�ibits.
1987 to 1991: Iowa Welcome Center,Local History Gallery,NRHOF,Archives,
Endowment, National Outreach, Fund Raising, and Development
The Society raised$3.5 million to establish the Iowa Welcome Center, local history gallery, and
NRHOF gallery, and archive where the National River Center gift shop and archives are now.
There were a few donors recognized individually and all donors above a certain amount were
listed on a recognition plaque placed at the Iowa Welcome Center lobby by category.
1997 to 2003: America's River—William Woodward Mississippi River Discovery Center,
Wetland,Local History,Archives,William M. Black, and Endowment. City projects
included Grand River Center,Riverwalk and Amenities, and Grand Harbor Resort.
The Society, working with the Chamber/CVB, and the City. Led this$188 million campaign.
The Society portion of the fundraising goal grew fi•om$10 million in 1997 to $25 million in
1999 and$56 million in 2000,part of the$188 million America's River project. William
Woodward's bequest resul.ted in$1.8 million. When combined with gifts from the Woodward
Foundation and family,this totaled about 20% of all private, foundation, and corporate giving.
Meetings were held to develop recognition guidelines with Braren,Mulder and German fund
raising counsel, Museum leaders,the Chamber of Commerce and CVB, and the City of
Dubuque. This established official joint naming recognition for the Museum, Chamber/CVB, and 'I
City project. River Museum leaders with Lyons Zaremba exhibit design fii7n and Braren, Mulder I
and Geiman established criteria for donor recognition in the 1Vluseum: I
1) Two Donor Plaques were installed at the Museum&Aquarium and also on the US
Senator John C. Culver Flood wall, listing all donors at$500 and above by giving
category.
2) $250,000 and above merits 1) a"naming"which means the donor's name comes before
the name of the e�ibit or feature, such as `Bowell Library"or the American Trust

well as possibly 3) recognition on an individual plaque 12"by 18".
3) $100,000 to $249,000 merits"donor recognition" on an individual 12"by 18"plaque,

4) $50,000 to $99,999 merits "donor recognition"on an individual 10"by 14"plaque, such
as "Snakes Exhibit Made Possible Through the Generosity of the Gantz Family."
Outdoor signage was larger for visibility. ($50,000 in 1999 is equal to $72,656 in 2015
dollars)
5) Below$50,000: There was to be no individual donor recognition for gifts below$50,000,
but they were to be given prominence on the group donor panel. (Because it was
promised, we put up 1 donor recognition plaque gift(4"by 15") and the other 20 or so
donors at$25,000 were recognized prominently on a group donor plaque.
6) No logos were allowed for any long term museum donor recognition,but allowed for
short term or event sponsorship made possible as a marketing or sponsorship donation.
7) Individual recognition was later established for benches, ranging from$1,000 to
approximately$3,000.

Funding for the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project comes from multiple sources including financial
assistance from the State of lowa and Federal government, private donations, general obligation bonds, and funds
allocated from the local stormwater utility.
STATE AND FEDERAL CONTRIBUTIONS
To date, $160 million in financial assistance has been secured to help fund the $227 million Bee Branch Watershed
Flood Mitigation Project including the following state and federal grants for the Bee Branch Creek Restoration:
• $2.25 million RECAT grant for amenities along the creek
• $3.965 million I-JOBS II grant for disaster prevention measures
• $5.9 million forgivable loan through the SRF/EPA "Green ProjecY' program
• $1.2 million disaster recovery grant from the EDA
• $1 million National Scenic Byways grant
• $100,000 State Recreational Trails grant was secured for project elements associated
with extending the hike/bike trail along the creek
• $9 million HUD disaster resiliency grant for the railroad culverts
In addition,the City was awarded $98.5 million from the lowa Flood Mitigation Program for the overall Bee Branch
Watershed Flood Mitigation Project with$23.2 million going to the creek restoration.
IOWA FLOOD MITIGATION PROGRAM
In December 2013, the City was awarded $98.5 million from the State Flood Mitigation
Program for the overall Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project. Authorized under
the Flood Mitigation Bill in 2012, the Flood Mitigation Program is administered by the lowa
Department of Homeland Security on a competitive basis by a citizen board. In December
2013, the project was awarded in the form of state sales tax increment financing spread over
20 years. This is the largest amount ever awarded to the City of Dubuque and will enable the
City to issue debt to implement the comprehensive flood mitigation plan much sooner than
previously anticipated at a lower cost to Dubuque citizens and businesses.
WHAT IS SALES TAX INCREMENT FINANCING?
Each year the total amount of state sales tax charged on goods and services purchased in
Dubuque is projected to increase. This increase is called the "sales tax incremenY'. From
2013 to 2033, up to 70 percent of this sales tax increment will be distributed to the City
of Dubuque to help fund the Bee Branch Watershed Flood Mitigation Project. This means a
percentage of Dubuque's retail sales tax is being invested back in our community to make
local infrastructure improvements and enhance quality of life within the watershed.

"l have heard many stories about the persona/heartbreaks resWting Bom many flash floods in the
Bee Branch area af Dubuque for years. The property damage to homes and businesses in this
�� area has been a reoccurring nightmare. Under the leadership of our city officials, the Bee Branch
F/ood Mitigation Project was undertaken. The funding for the project inc/uded both state and
federa/funding as well as/oca/donations. Now l am happy to say the project is comp/ete and
the resWts are being felt throughout the area. The restoration of the Bee Branch Creek area is a
beautiful site to see that we can all help maintain with the purchase of a range of amenities Bom a
bench for$5,000 to a single paver for as linle as$100. l feel by purchasing one of these naming
opportunities we are being good neighbors and he/ping to ensure a vibrant life for our city."
