This memorandum is a request for the City Council to set a public hearing for April 1 ,

and new equipment at a cost of approximately $6.7 Million, to be completed by

The proposed Development Agreement provides for several incentives to encourage
the $6.7 Million facility expansion on the property. The Development Agreement
proposes 10 years of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rebates and requires the addition
of at least 10 new full-time equivalent jobs.
Additional terms and conditions are included in the attached Development Agreement.
A public hearing is necessary to approve the TIF obligations.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
Based on the City Council's goal of creating a robust local economy, I recommend the
City Council adopt the attached resolution to set a public hearing on the attached
Development Agreement with Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc. to assist in redeveloping and
creating jobs in the City of Dubuque.

which does not include property taxes collected for the payment of bonds and �'
interest of each taxing district, and taxes for the regular and voter-approved
physical plant and equipment levy, instructional support levy, and any other portion �
required to be excluded by lowa law, and thus such incremental taxes will not
include all amounts paid by Developer as regular property taxes. j
I�(2) To fund the Economic Development Grants, City shall certify to the County �

following fiscal year and which shall thereafter be disbursed to the Developer on i
November 1 and May 1 of that fiscal year. (Example: if City so certifies in i�
December, 2020, the Economic Development Grants in respect thereof would be �
;
paid to the Developer on November 1, 2021, and May 1, 2022). �
u
(3) The Economic Development Grants shall be payable from and secured �'
solely and only by the Developer Tax Increments paid to City that, upon receipt, I�
�
shall be deposited and held in a special account created for such purpose and 'h�
designated as the Prairie Farms TIF Account of City. City hereby covenants and ;�
agrees to maintain its TIF ordinance in force during the term hereof and to apply �
the incremental taxes collected in respect of the Minimum Improvements and �
allocated to the Prairie Farms TIF Account to pay the Economic Development �
Grants, as and to the extent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof. The Economic 4
Development Grants shall not be payable in any manner by other tax increments
revenues, or by general taxation or from any other City funds. City makes no �
representation with respect to the amounts that may be paid to Developer as the
Economic Development Grants in any one year and under no circumstances shall
City in any manner be liable to Developer so long as City timely applies the
Developer Tax Increments actually collected and held in the Prairie Farm's TIF
Account (regardless of the amounts thereofl to the payment of the Economic
Development Grants to Developer as and to the extent described in this Section.
(4) City shall be free to use any and all tax increment revenues collected in
respect of other properties within the Project Area and the remaining actual amount
of the property taxes paid by Developer to City, or any available Developer Tax
Increments resulting from the termination of the annual Economic Development
Grants under Section 3.2 hereof, for any purpose for which such tax increment
revenues may lawfully be used pursuant to the provisions of the Urban Renewal �
Law, and City shall have no obligations to Developer with respect to the use
thereof.

� affecting creditors' rights generally. a
2. The execution, delivery and perFormance by Developer of the Development
Agreement and the carrying out of the terms thereof, will not result in violation of any
provision of, or in default under, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Developer,

order, statute, rule, regulation or restriction to which Developer is a party or by which
Developer's property is bound or subject.
3. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or
affecting Developer in any court or before any arbitrator or before or by any governmental
body in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could
