MEMORANDUM
January 8, 2002
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Gil D. Spence, Leisure Services Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to Lease with Dubuque Girls' Independent League
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of the first
amendment to the lease agreement between the City of Dubuque and The Dubuque
Girls' Independent League.
DISCUSSION
The City of Dubuque has a lease agreement with the Dubuque Girls' Independent
League for 11.6 acres of the Rip Row Valley property. We have received two Land and
Water Conservation Fund grants to be used toward purchase and development of the
property.
When the National Park Service was reviewing the lease agreement as part of the
process of authorizing the grant, they expressed concern that the property is not
available to the public, These grant funds cannot be used for the benefit of only a
private organization. The NPS suggested the lease be amended to clearly state when
the general public will be able to use the area.
The amendment has been approved by the league.
ACTION STEP
The action requested is that the City Council adopt the first amendment to the lease
agreement with the Girls' Independent League.
