IT WON'T BE LONG AND WORK WILL START DOWNTOWN, DOING THE
"STREETSCAPE" WORK. LAST NIGHT, THE COUNCIL APPROVED TWO
RESOLUTIONS TO GET CLOSER TO THE RECONSTRUCTION. THE FIRST WAS APPOINTING A PAYING AGENT, NOTE REGISTRAR, AND TRANSFER AGENT.
AND THE OTHER RESOLUTION WAS FOR THE APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION OF A FORM OF LOAN AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING
AND PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE, AND LEVYING OF A TAX TO PAY THE NOTES ALONG WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE TAX EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE. MAYBE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THIS BETTER THEN I DO. ANYWAY, EXCITEMENT IS STARTING TO
BUILD REGARDING THIS $3.4 MILLION DOLLAR DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
MAQUOKETA SCHOOL SUPT. CHRIS HOOVER WILL BE MEETING WITH IOWA GOVERNOR TERRY BRANSTAD IN DES MOINES TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
AT THE REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, HOOVER HAS BEEN ASKED TO SHARE HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT BRANSTAD'S PROPOSAL TO TAKE SOME OF THE
STATE'S 1 PERCENT SALES TAX REVENUES AWAY FROM SCHOOL INFRASTRACTURE AND USE IT TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY. HOOVER SAID TODAY HE IS NOT OPPOSED TO GOOD WATER QUALITY BUT IS FEARFUL THAT THERE COULD BE MORE REQUESTS FOR OTHER USES OF THE TAX MONEY, THEREFORE SHORTING IOWA SCHOOLS OF NEEDED FUNDS TO MAKE REPAIRS TO AGING SCHOOL BUILDINGS. THE MEETING TOMORROW AT 3 P.M. WILL LAST 30 MINUTES AND THE MAQUOKETA DISTRICT BUSINESS MANAGER CHRISTY HAXMEIER WILL ALSO SIT IN ON THE MEETING.
