SUBJECT: Resolution of Necessity for the Amendment of the Dubuque Technology
Park Economic Development District Urban Renewal Plan
DATE: July 31, 2014
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents for City Council consideration a Resolution of Necessity
that: 1) finds that an Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque
Technology Park Economic Development District is both necessary and appropriate;
and 2) sets a public hearing on the proposed amendment for September 2, 2014.
The proposed amendment of this District would expand the District to include the area
to be designated as a new Subarea C (see attached map).
BACKGROUND
The Dubuque Technology Park Economic Development District was created on April 7,
1997. The District is an urban renewal area which allows the City of Dubuque to capture
tax increment revenue from improvements made in the District in order to promote
economic development activities. The District was created for the development of an
industrial center, which later became known as the Dubuque Technology Park. In
addition to the development of infrastructure, tax increment financing has been used to
incentivize business development in the District through tax rebates.
The need to expand and amend the Dubuque Technology Park Economic Development
District has risen from the desire to utilize tax increment financing to allow both public
and private development efforts to benefit from the flexibility in the use of tax increment
financing in the district. The amendment will also allow the continued use of tax
increment financing to promote economic development activities throughout the District
for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. Pursuant to House File 2460, the amended plan will
describe the specific use of tax increment funds, reflecting the utilization of tax rebates,
the creation of public infrastructure, or other planned expenditures.
DISCUSSION
This proposed expansion and amendment of the Dubuque Technology Park Economic
Development District would result in the addition of property that is currently
undeveloped. The parcel added would accommodate the construction of corporate
offices for Rockfarm Holdings, Inc. The offices will be housed in an approximately
10,000 SF building — an investment of over $1,750,000. Rockfarm has committed to
bringing 48 high quality jobs to Dubuque, with wages starting at $19.23/hour.
This parcel was one of several removed from the Urban Renewal District as part of the
amended and restated Urban Renewal Plan approved by City Council on June 16,
2014. The parcel was undeveloped, and therefore not creating any increment. Due to
legislation in 1995, TIF districts designated for economic development purposes are
subject to 20 years' duration. This means the Tech Park TIF District sunsets in April
2017. If the parcel had remained, it would not have allowed for the City to provide an
incentive to Rockfarm. By now designating a new subarea, we have twenty years to
provide TIF incentives for any development.
The attached Resolution directs staff to prepare an Amended and Restated Urban
Renewal Plan for the newly named Dubuque Technology Park Economic Development
District, setting forth the urban renewal projects that are currently expected to be
undertaken in the District. Additionally, staff is required to hold a consultation process,
required by law, with the affected taxing entities concerning the proposed amendment,
and to the extent the amendment includes the use of tax increment revenues for a
public building, provide an analysis of alternative development and funding options for
such public buildings.
A City Council public hearing on the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan will
be scheduled for September 2, 2014. The public notice will be published four to twenty
days before the meeting to allow for the appropriate publication requirements. This will
allow time for preparation of the Plan and the consultation process with the taxing
entities.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I recommend the City Council adopt the attached Resolution of Necessity that begins
the process of amending the Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Technology Park
Economic Development District.
The amendment will provide the continued use of tools that will encourage reinvestment
and redevelopment activities throughout the District and will support the revitalization
within the area.

RESOLUTION NO. 233-14
A RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY FINDING THAT CERTAIN AREAS ADJACENT TO
THE ESTABLISHED DUBUQUE TECHNOLOGY PARK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT MEET THE DEFINITION OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA
UNDER THE URBAN RENEWAL LAW, THAT DEVELOPMENT OF SAID AREA IS
NECESSARY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE,

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED URBAN

Whereas, the City Council of the City of Dubuque has heretofore, by Resolution

area as defined by Chapter 403 of the Iowa Code and is appropriate for an urban
renewal project.
Section 2. That the City Manager is authorized and directed to prepare an
amendment to the Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Technology Park Economic
Development District, such amendment to include Sub -Area C within the District and
such other modifications to the property contained within the District as may be
appropriate, and setting forth the urban renewal projects that are currently expected to
be undertaken in the District, and the City Manager is further authorized to determine an
appropriate date for and conduct the consultation process required by law with affected
taxing entities concerning the proposed amendment.
Section 3. That the City Council hold a public hearing on the adoption of the
proposed Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Technology
