INTRODUCTION
i
The purpose of this memorandum is to request your signature on the annual lease with
the Dubuque Water Sports Club (formerly Dubuque Water Ski Club) for a section of
Schmitt Island.
DISCUSSION
The Club has leased a section of Schmitt Island, next to Heron Pond by the Hilton
Garden Inn, for many years. The attached lease agreement is the same as last year's
agreement. The annual lease is a $525 rental fee. The Club is responsible for building
and grounds maintenance except the City mows the grass and picks up the trash. Club
members pay 50% of the per night camping fee at Miller Riverview Park to camp on the
leased grounds. Camping units are limited to 6 on site and stays are limited to not more
than 30 days. Overnight parking of boats is limited to 8, two work boats, and one
Dragon Boat.
The lease agreement has been reviewed and approved by City Attorney Barry Lindahl.
Barry said the lease does not need City Council approval since the term is for one year.
The Park and Recreation Commission approved recommending the Lease at their
March meeting. I asked Laura Carstens, Gus Psihoyos and Cindy Steinhauser if they
were aware of any projects that would conflict and they knew of none.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully recommend you sign the attached lease agreement with the Dubuque
Water Sports Club then give to Kevin Firnstahl so it may be placed on the Council
agenda as a signed agreement.
