Ware, Leisure Services Manager SUBJECT: Interim Management Agreement With Dubuque Community Ice & Recreation, Inc. DATE: August 11, 2021 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this memorandum is to share information related to the Interim Management Agreement with Dubuque Community Ice & Recreation, Inc. (DICE) and the City of Dubuque. DISCUSSION The City of Dubuque received notice from DICE on June 17, 2021, of its intent to relinquish its leasehold rights. DICE agreed to continue operating the Ice Center through July 31, 2021. The Mystique Community Ice Center was designed, developed, and built under a Development Agreement between and among DICE, the City, the Dubuque Racing Association (DRA), and Battlefield Dubuque, LLC which later transferred and assigned its interest to Northern Lights Hockey, LLC. The Agreement commenced October 30, 2009. Opened September 18, 2010, the building is owned by the City and has been leased in a 25-year lease agreement to DICE. DICE, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, raised all funds to build the Ice Center. DICE managed and operated the Ice Center on a day-to-day basis. The Development Agreement outlines the steps to be taken in the event the lease is terminated. First, the City must provide written notice to the DRA and Northern Lights Hockey, LLC that the lease has been terminated. Then, the City must offer the DRA the right to enter into a new lease on the same terms and conditions as the current lease held by DICE, for the remainder of the term. The DRA had 30 days to accept the offer and enter into a new lease with the City. The DRA sent correspondence to the city that they declined. Since the DRA declined, the City then provided written notice to Northern Lights Hockey, LLC who has the right to enter into a new lease on the same terms as the current lease for the remainder of the term. Northern Lights Hockey, LLC has 30 days to accept the offer and enter into a new lease with the City. We are in that 30-day timeframe currently. As the transitions that would be necessary prior to and on August 1, 2021 were studied it became apparent that transitioning in 2 weeks would be challenging as well as disruptive to the operations that ice user groups rely on. Examples of this included transitioning current DICE employees to City employees with the possibility that in a month's timeframe they could become employees of another organization, putting in place insurance, liquor licenses and other requirements on a very temporary basis. The Ice Center has certain assets that are owned by DICE per the agreements that are necessary to the operations of the Ice Center. These included items for example like the Zamboni, rental ice skates, skate sharpener and concessions equipment including the point -of -sale system. Discussions were held with the DICE President and Board of Directors, Assistant City Attorney Maureen Quann and City Manager Michel Van Milligen regarding an arrangement for DICE to contractually manage the facility for the month of August as well as a transfer of the Ice Center's assets. The attached Interim Management Agreement addresses both. DICE is continuing to manage the Ice Center on a day-to- day basis. The City is reimbursing the expenses of the operation during the period. At the end of the Agreement the assets belong to the City. The cap on expenditures is set at $225,000 but is expected to be lower. This is offset by the acquisition of assets with includes the Zamboni that is valued at approximately $175,000 and other assets would likely total over the $225,000 if they would need to be purchased separately. As a City we are very appreciative to DICE for assisting us in the transitions and continuing with ice operations that make ice time available to the ice users of Mystique Community Ice Center. The timeframe of one month for the agreement allowed the City Manager to authorize and sign. ACTION REQUESTED This is provided as information with no action necessary.
