Van Milligen, City Manger FROM: David J. Heiar, Economic Development Director RE: ABC Supply Lease DATE: May 23, 2011 Short term leases (three years or less) can be authorized by the City Manager; however, Iowa law requires that the city hold a public hearing prior to leasing public property for longer than 3 years. Since ABC Supply has requested a lease for 5 years, the City Council set a public hearing for June 6, 2011 prior to acting on this lease. In February of 2010, the City purchased this excess ROW, which includes a 33,452 sq. ft. building, for $330,000 from the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT). This is a land purchase contract and will be paid over 6 years. At the time of the purchase, the building was leased to ABC Supply Co. The City assumed the lease with ABC Supply Co., which expires on June 1, 2011. ABC currently pays $2,000 per month rent as the City assumed the lease arrangement ABC had with the previous owner, IDOT. The proposed new lease is for a five year period, from June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2016. The major terms of the proposed lease are as follows: Dubuque AUmedcallb 111 r 2007 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents for City Council review and approval of a Lease Agreement between the City of Dubuque, Iowa and American Builders and Contractor's Supply Co., Inc.

The Iowa Department of Transportation acquired Tri- State's property at 10 S. Main Street in anticipation of the expansion of the Julien Dubuque Bridge project. The City agreed to give the company land in the Dubuque Industrial Center West in return for the company's right to reacquire any excess ROW not needed by the IDOT for this project. 1.

ABC also leases property in this area from Hendricks Commercial Properties, LLC. This lease also expires within the next year. Should ABC not be able to negotiate a lease with Hendricks Commercial Properties, LLC, they would have the right to terminate the lease with the City prior to June 1, 2012, with a 30 day notice. 4. ABC will replace the current lighting system for an estimated cost of $13,000 and the City will be responsible for 1 /2 of the actual cost for this building improvement upto $6,500. 5. ABC will pay for future building repairs that cost $1,000 or less. Further details of the proposed lease are included in the attached lease agreement.
