FROM:
James Burke, Community and Economic Development Director
SUBJ:
Extension of Flynn Ready-Mix Co. Lease
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum recommends City Council approval of a lease amendment with Flynn Ready-Mix
Co., which extends their occupancy to September, 2001.
DISCUSSION
In August, 1975, the City of Dubuque entered into a lease with Flynn Ready-Mix Concrete Co., for a
5 acre site on Kerper Boulevard and Purina Drive. The term of the lease ran through December 31,
1999.
In anticipation of the lease termination, Flynn and City Staff have been discussing an alternative site
for the Company off of Kerper Court. The delays in completing the Eagle Window sale, however,
have delayed conclusion of these discussions beyond the end ofthe original lease term. For that
reason, we have prepared a amendment to the Flynn lease to extend the lease for 20 months.
Attached is a lease amendment prepared by Corporation Counsel, Barry Lindahl. If approved, this
would be the second amendment of the Flynn lease and it would:
I) Amend the lease by extending the term on a month to month basis until Flynn is relocated
by not later than September I, 2001.
2) Eliminate the payment of wharfage and set a monthly rental of $4,150 per month. This is
an increase of $3,243 per month over the previous rental and is based on current market value
for the property,
3) Establish a revised insurance schedule, and
4)Reduce the time period for removal of improvements from the site by the tenant following
termination from six months to three months.
The amended lease has been reviewed and accepted by Flynn.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached Second Amendment to Lease and direct the
City Manager to sign on behalf of the City. This amendment provides a short-term extension of the
Flynn lease at market rate to permit the Company to acquire and develop a new plant on the Kerper
Court site.
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This Second Amendment to Lease is made and entered into this _day of
,2000, by and between the City of Dubuque, Iowa, a municipal corporation
