INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of an
improvement to property leased by the City of Dubuque to ConAgra Foods.
BACKGROUND
In September of 2002, the City Council approved a Lease Agreement with ConAgra
Foods, Inc to accommodate the relocation of ConAgra (Peavey) from the Port of
Dubuque to the 1zth Street Peninsula on property formerly occupied by Flynn Ready-
Mix. (Lot 9; Block 4, and Riverfront Subdivision #2.)
Section 3.2 of the Lease Agreement provides that the ConAgra may construct, with prior
written consent of the City, improvements necessary to the successful operation of the
business. The consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 8 of the Lease Agreement provides the Company the right, with the City's
written consent if the cost is greater than $50,000, to make any alteration, addition or
modification to the Leased Premises. Again, the consent of the City may not be
reasonably withheld.
Section 9 of the Lease Agreement allows the Company to use the property and
improvements for the storage of commodities.
DISCUSSION
ConAgra has submitted plans for the construction of two storage tanks and a building to
be used for the storage and transfer of liquid fertilizer. Delbert Uhlick, General Manager
of Peavey Grain has submitted a letter requesting City Council permission to construct
the improvements, according to the lease agreement. Attached are the plans and the
letter. I have reviewed the plans and the lease agreement with Corporation Counsel
Barry Lindahl. Mr. Lindahl advises the City Council action is necessary for the company
to move forward with the improvements.
RECOMMENDA nON
Since the City Council cannot unreasonably withhold consent, I recommend the City
Council approve a letter of consent for these improvements subject to the following:
1. ConAgra processes the plans and specifications through the City's Design review
process, and meet all City codes and requirements for construction of the
improvements.
2. The storage tanks and improvements are kept in good physical condition during
the life of the lease.
ACTION REQUESTED
I recommend City Council approval of the attached letter from the City Manager.
