SEAL Suzy Sch City Clea res, CMC k TO THE WATERLOO CITY COUNCIL The American Legion, Becker -Chapman Post 138 of Waterloo Iowa is protesting the decision of the Main Street Image Council telling us that we must spend more of our funds on a roof that is needed because they like the looks of the 80 year old tile we now have. We have been to three monthly meeting to plead our case, but have met with resistance every time. It does not help to hear the Image Council (IC) talk to each other about the amount of money that we received from selling our old Post on Franklin St., nor calling 6th street 'tin roof alley'. We want to install a red steel roof similar to the the Wells Fargo Bank, Farmers State Bank and other roofs around the city, not just 6th street. We wanted to replace the tiles at the first meeting, since the highest part should be replaced first. The IC voted to table our request since we did not know if it leaked or maybe just the flat roof. They did OK repairing the flat roof. We did, and it is O.K. now, except for when water runs under the edges from the tiled part. The IC have voted against our request the other 2 times. We need to get a new roof on the building because this one leaks every time it rains, causing damage such to ceiling tiles, clean up and time. We have a kids swimming pool and buckets to catch what we can. We believe the Council wants to help by giving their opinion, but it should be just that, and not a demand. No one should think they have all the answers and we do not. That stated, we will put on any roof, but only if the I.C. pays the difference. Thank You.

I am, however, still interested in improving our downtown. We continue to struggle with city funding support...indeed we have not received our "usual" $20,000 July check. I believe the City receives all the information we create and from more than one source! In a nutshell, last year we brought in $390,000 and spent $365,000. That seems good, but it did not leave us enough cash flow to get through the winter! Our so called "beer party" Tour De Loo Friday Loo Taste of Loo BBQ Loo Funky Junk A Loo MWD revenues, as some Income $ 1,000 $ 27,000 $ 4,000 $ 48,000 $ 17,000 $ 89,000 $188,000 call them for this year are; Expense $ 500 $ 24,000 $ 600 $ 44,000 $ 2,000 $ 71,000 $142,000 I hope you notice the difference does not cover our overhead! The events have brought (and continue to bring) people downtown... and I am reasonably sure money is spent beyond our events. This also means more investment in downtown, which should increase dollars collected within the TIF. This in turn gives the City funds to compete for other/bigger projects!? Our Main Street affiliation has brought $70,000 grants to fix up historical buildings in our downtown. None of those funds stay with us; we are a conduit to move them on. We own and manage a parking lot through a City project to better our down town. Unfortunately we have a $212,000 loan on a property assessed at $141,000. When we tried to sell it and get we and the City off the `hook" as borrower and guarantor, the Council voted for us to keep it! Incidentally we are negotiating to bring the rate down, and need to stripe the lot and do inspection work as the water retention issues are raising up! The parking lot is part of a deal the City and HUD put together in 2000. We were newly formed and one of the biggest concerns downtown was the "old OSCO building" We felt the store front next to it might capsize out into it! Fortunately, the deal was done; Main Street signed on and carried our part. The building recently became privately owned and something Waterloo and Main Street can say "well done". Main Street, not to mention Cedar Skyline, has owned and sold 810 properties over the years. They weren't in good shape when we got them, but we tried to improve the situation, and I think we did ok. I don't look at the flowers as part of the party discussion, as they add a lot! I see a few downtowns and we would be noticed if Main Street didn't provide them. We took in $4,000 so far this year to support them and have spent $5,700. A long time ago downtown really needed a plan. Main Street made one of the first investments to bring Van Dewfall to down. We weren't the client and don't always agree with them, but we did and do see the need for the planning. Downtown parking has been on our plate for years. We were so happy to bring the Republic Parking concept, and definitely can see a difference in our ramps already! Our Design review can be a real thorn. However having those living downtown take notice of facades, 4th Street Bridge, bike lanes, and the soon to be remodeled Legion Building have a direct voice allows some of the politics and expediency come out of decisions. We want to protect our existing investors as much (or more) than bringing in the next one! The Main Street vantage is downtown, the City, WDC and Alliance have a bigger horizon to watch. We just need enough financial support, as the TIF can spare. Please consider moving our contract for services to $100,000 annually and pay the first installment as soon as possible. Thank you.
