absolutely budget city doubt knew money push replace sidewalk
Absolutely we need them back, ... Do we have the money for them? I would doubt it. The sidewalk program, I could use that. Before this budget year, I knew I had to replace the sidewalks at my house, but I didn't push to get that in there because the city didn't have the money for it. But I could have absolutely benefited from that program.
department ground moving planning time unless wants
At this point, unless the planning department wants to get that off the ground again, I don't see it moving ahead, ... With everything the planning department is working on now, I don't think they have time for it.
affected businesses city currently inside limits mail notices others possibly tax

accounting adjusted business charge decide fee pay percent receive required tax
If they charge a rental fee of $100 now, that fee may be $104 in the future, but that is something each business will decide for themselves, ... We'll receive a monthly accounting of rentals and leases from each business and the 4 percent tax will be applied. In the beginning, each business will be required to pay the tax monthly, but later, that can be adjusted to quarterly or every other month, whichever the business prefers.
against anybody city council developer economic focus funding good greater grow help job major past president sitting takes time
One of the major things the city does is to help through funding of Grow Greater Burlington. I would put Dennis Hinkle (vice president of economic development for the chamber) up against any economic developer in the state. ... He's done a great job, an outstanding job and that's the major way that the city takes on that role. He's full?time. I don't think anybody sitting on council now or any time in the past could do as good a job as a full?time economic development focus person.
ahead asking favor figure full heads iowa jobs judge lied litigation moving people question room situation state worked
I wouldn't have been in favor of moving ahead with litigation if I had not thought it was necessary. Is it unfortunate? Yes. It's very unfortunate, but when you have a room packed full of people asking what we're going to do about their jobs and the corporation worked for that lied to the heads of the state of Iowa ... then you have a situation in question that could keep those jobs here, you ask a judge to figure who's right and who's wrong.

cater percent stepping voice
I think there should be exceptions. If your clientele is 70 percent smokers, you should be able to cater to them. They're stepping on freedoms, stepping on toes, and there's not a voice for those toes.

Just as is the case with the sales tax, once we get those returns in we'll cut the city a check. By December or January we should be able to get an idea of what sort of revenue the tax will generate,
