ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Jerry Shatzer, 1829 W. 7th Street, asked Mr. Welper to repeat what he said
earlier in the meeting regarding property taxes.
Mr. Welper explained that the new pharmacy will pay the City $18,000 in property
taxes.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, the cost to the City for the fire
station to date is $11,000. This does not address the cost of intersection
improvements.
Jerry Shatzer complimented the Cedar Valley Humane Society and their staff. He
also expressed concern with Dan Gable advertising the Cedar Rapids Airport.
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch Avenue, asked about the tax abatement and if homeowners
could get one for keeping up their property or remodeling. Mayor Clark reported
that the CLURA adopted is just for new homes. The taxpayers will benefit by the
tax base increasing. Mr. Chaplin wants to do improvements on his home but not
unless he gets a tax abatement.
John Sherban, 1715 Robin Road, stated that it would be at least 25 years before
the City through taxes makes back what it cost to do the intersection near the
new fire station.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, expressed concern with using the gaming
board grant of $2.4 million for projects because the City has to contribute to
complete the project and taxes continue to be raised.
Mr. Hart reminded the citizens to attend the Northeast Arts Fest.
