THE SUPERVISORS AND PAM AND JACK ROSENBERG STILL HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A NEW LEASE FOR THE HUMAN SERVICES OFFICE THE ROSENBERGS RENT TO THE COUNTY. THE BUILDING IS THE FORMER ROSENBERG AUTO BUILDING THAT WAS EXTENSIVELY REMODELED FOR OFFICES 5 YEARS AGO. THE RENT HAS BEEN $3,650 A MONTH AND THE ROSENBERGS WANT A 4-PERCENT INCREASE. THE LEASE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE LAST OFFER BY THE COUNTY WAS A 3-YEAR LEASE WITH A SIX MONTH NOTICE TO GET OUT OF IT EARLY, ALONG WITH THE 4 PERCENT INCREASE. PAM ROSENBERG SAID THAT IS THE SAME AS A 6 MONTH LEASE AND THAT SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT. THE LEASE ACTUALLY EXPERIED AUGUST 31ST, SO THE ROSEBERGS COULD EVICT THE HUMAN SERVICES. BUT THERE WAS A 30 DAY EXTENSION AND PROBABLY COULD BE ANOTHER EXTENSION. KEEP TUNED.

THE NEW BURNING ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY STILL HAS NOT BEEN PASSED. MAQUOKETA WAS PLANNING AN ORDIANCE TO ALLOW BURNING OF PAPER ONLY ON SATURDAYS.

MARK PAPE. SORRY, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THEIR BIO HANDY RIGHT NOW.
ALSO ON THE BALLOT, A PROPOSAL TO CONSTRUCT A $1.45 MILLION DOLLAR CLASSROOM BUILDING FOR MAQUOKETA FOR CLINTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IT NEEDS 60% APPROVAL.
IF APPROVED, THE ESTATE OF THE LATE JOHN FAGERLAND OF MAQUOKETA WOULD CONTRIBUTE $250,000 FOR THE PROJECT. JOHN WAS A LONGTIME MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF CLINTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND AN ADVOCATE OF A BUILDING HERE IN MAQUOKETA. IF APPROVED TUESDAY, BONDS WOULD ALSO BE SOLD FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION AND THE TAX TO PAY OFF
THE BONDS WOULD BE $1.27 PER MONTH PER PROPERTY OWNER, FOR 10 YEARS, WITH A HOME VALUED AT $100,000. IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE A NICE ADDITION FOR MAQUOKETA.
