Siouxland Chamber again backs tax reform Chamber sets Iowa legislative agenda DAVE DREESZEN

Business Journal editor‌

SIOUX CITY | Metro area business leaders are again pushing Iowa lawmakers to ease the tax burden for owners of commercial and industry property.

Reforming the state’s property tax system ranks as one of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce’s top priorities in the legislative session that began Jan. 14.

Chamber officials are optimistic that Gov. Terry Branstad, who has lobbied for property tax changes the last two sessions, will work out a deal with his fellow Republicans in control of the House and majority Democrats in the Senate.

“I think everybody realizes there is a problem,”

said Barbara Sloniker, the Chamber’s executive vice president. “Now it’s finding the best way Sloniker to fix it.”

Iowa’s commercial property tax rates, on the nation’s highest, is hurting local efforts to recruit new businesses, Sloniker said.

It also discourages expansion of existing companies, she said.

The Chamber would not support a property tax solution that would come at the expense of cities and counties who depend on the revenue.

“What we don’t want is to have everything pushed down onto local governments,” Sloniker said.

Other top priorities for the Chamber during this year’s legislative session include: – Completion of the f o u r - l a n i n g o f U. S .

“I think everybody realizes there is a problem. Now it’s finding the best way to fix it.”

Peterbilt VIPs visit award-nominated local dealership SIOUX CITY | A group of top executives from the Peterbilt Motors truck manufacturing plant in Denton, Texas, recently toured the Sioux City dealership, which is part of a dealer group nominated for a major national award.

Peterbilt Motors General Manager William Kozek and an entourage of seven other corporate executives visited Peterbilt of Sioux City on Dec. 7. This was Kozek’s first trip to the showcase dealership, having taken leadership of the Peterbilt Division earlier in the year.

The heavy-truck dealership is owned and operated by Sioux City Truck Sales Inc. Peterbilt Motors recently nominated SCTS President Brad Wilson for the American Truck Dealers Association’s “Dealer of the Year” award, representing

Peterbilt dealers. A panel will select from the list of six nominees and announce the winner in February at ATD’s annual convention.

Kozek said the facility looked outstanding and shows the commitment of the company to their trucking customers and the industry. The visiting VIPs commented they were impressed with the large inventory, efficiency and cleanliness at the building.

SCTS operates four fullservice Peterbilt dealerships, which serve the transportation industry in region, including locations in Council Bluffs, Des Moines and Norfolk, Neb. These dealerships offer a full-line of Peterbilt trucks; plus parts, service/ repair. Still family-owned, SCTS has served the industry since 1954.

MRHD gifts awarded to food bank, autism center DAVE DREESZEN

Business Journal editor

SIOUX CITY | The group Missouri River Historical Development recently awarded donations totaling $100,000 to two Woodbury County nonprofits.

T h e Fo o d B a n k o f Siouxland and Pier Center for Autism were presented $50,000 each during MRHD’s annual dinner at the Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center/ Betty Strong Encounter Center.

“For almost two decades, MRHD has been reaching out to non-profit organizations that help people of all ages, especially during tough economic times,” MRHD President Mark Monson said. “This year’s gifts recognize important work of two of our nonprofits. ...”

The Food Bank, founded in 1991, provides products to a number of non-profit

agencies, food pantries and organizations i n co u n ty that serve people at risk for hun- Monson ger.

“The need for food products is up dramatically,” said E xe c u t ive Director Linda Scheid Scheid who accepted the MRHD gift.

The Pier Center for Autism, which offers a range of services for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, recently opened at 709 Iowa St. The center’s name, plays off of the meaning of the word “pier” – a support for a bridge.

Josh Cobbs, the board president and founder, and

Jan Turbes, board member, accepted the MRHD gift, which will be used to purchase items for the Pier Center’s programs and development.

The gift committee recommendations received approval of MRHD’s 18-member board. Monday’s presentation brings MRHD’s total contribution to Woodbury County nonprofits to nearly $21 million in grants and gifts since 1994.

In addition to holiday gifts, MRHD has funded annual grants; special projects grants, college scholarships; and the construction and operational funding for the Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center and Betty Strong Encounter Center.

MRHD, a nonprofit group officially known as a Qualified Sponsoring Organization, jointly holds the state gaming license with the Argosy Sioux City.

Chamber: Again backs tax reform FROM PAGE 4 Transportation facing a backlog of projects such as U.S. 20, the Chamber says in its position paper it would consider new or alternative transportation funding sources, provided the existing cap on the TIME-21 formula is removed. TIME-21, an initiative approved several years ago by lawmakers, routed new revenue from higher vehicle fees to the highway network by distributing 60 percent to the state system and 20 percent each to cities and counties but capped it at $250 million annually.

The Siouxland Chamber is not in favor of an increase in the state gas tax, however, Sloniker said.

Last month, the Iowa

Chamber Alliance, which represents chambers n the state’s largest cities, including Sioux City, said it would support a gas tax increase of 10-15 cents a gallon if the new revenue was distributed under the TIME 21 formula.

– Renewal of the Targeted Jobs tax credit program, which is set to expire on June 30. The program allows border cities to divert a portion of the state income taxes from a new or expanding business to finance infrastructure that supports their expansion projects.

The tax credits have been a valuable economic development tool in Sioux City, helping the city compete with neighboring Nebraska or South Dakota.

“We’re in a different competitive environment than people in the center of the state,” Sloniker said.

– Continue to push to replace the state’s “broken” and “outdated” funding formula for K-12 school districts.

The existing formula forces residents in property poor districts like Sioux City to pay a higher rate to generate the same revenue as property-rich districts.

“Since property tax receipts statewide do not result in equitable funding for each and every student, Iowa must embrace a system that equalizes tax receipts on a statewide, per-pupil base,” the Chamber said in its position paper.

Break through weight loss and wellness plateaus Have you ever gotten discouraged in your journey to lose weight?

Or, have you ever started an exercise program and became discouraged when your success or weight loss plateaued?

If you can relate to eitherof these scenarios, I encourage you to read on about the FITT method, a researched and proven way to break through your weight loss and wellness plateaus. Now is the time to start your wellness goals for 2013!(Please note: Before you start any exercise program or increase your physical activity level, you should speak if your family physician.)

The four parts of the FITT method are: • Frequency – How Often Should I Exercise?

• Intensity – How Hard Should I Exercise?

• Time – How Long Should I Exercise?

• Type – What Type Of Exercise Should I Do? Frequency: How Often Should I Exercise?

• It is recommended all American adults get 30plus minutes of moderate intense physical activities

(start to sweat and experience an increase in breathing and heart rate) on five days each week (two and a half hours per week).

• If you want to lose weight, slowly work towards 30 to 90 minutes of physical activity 5 or more days each week. It is recommended children get 60-plus minutes daily.

• Increase your activities of daily living by walking, using the stairs at work and at home or doing chores around the house throughout the day.

• It’s also recommended to break up or limit sitting activities with activity bursts for three to five minutes throughout your day; this will help your energy level and quality of life soar.

Intensity: How Hard Should You Exercise?

• Intensity is the most important item to tweak to breakthrough your weight

If you want to lose weight, slowly work towards 30 to 90 minutes of physical activity 5 or more days each week. loss and fitness plateaus (think of “The Biggest Loser”).

• There are four zones of intensity: 1. Zone P=Pain—Represents too much intensity.

If you experience pain, you should reduce your intensity or stop exercising. If you are experiencing any pain with exercise or physical activity, you should speak with your doctor about being referred to a physical therapist.

2. Zone D=Discomfort— Exercising in this zone is ideal. You must recognize and find your own discomfort zone level for each exercise you do.

3. Zone C=Comfort— Represents too little intensity and will not be challenging. However this is the best zone to start with for those who are new to exercise to reduce risks for injury.

4. Zone R=Rest/Sleep— Represents minimal movement and is essential for

the body to recover (for adults, seven or eight hours per day is ideal for recovery and restoration of your body and mind).

(Source: Smart Exercise—Think Quality, not Quantity Dec 06 Human Performance Institute)

Time: How Long Should You Exercise?

• Physical activity guidelines state you should exercise 30 minutes, five days each week. You may have two or three bouts of 10 to 15 minute activities to reach your 30 minutes per day and work up to 45 to 90 minutes based on your goals.

• If you have been sedentary or inactive, start with five to 10 minutes and slowly work your way up to 30-plus minutes daily.

• Morning is the optimal time to exercise as people seem to stay committed over the long term better (less demands to change your schedule).

• After work, your body

is warmed up and this is an ideal time for exercise, however, we all have more schedule demands from our children, community, etc, and this may be more difficult to stay consistent with this schedule.

• Any time that works into your life and daily schedule is the key.

Type: What Type of Exercise Should You Do?

You must choose an activity you enjoy. Variety is a must to break you through your workout and weight loss plateaus. Plus, it’ll make exercising more

fun! Ask yourself the following questions: • What is your Current fitness level?

• What are your SMART goals and motivation for exercising?

• What barriers, beliefs, or roadblocks do you have to overcome?

• What do you enjoy doing and have access to?

Walking may be the best place to start. Use a pedometer, good shoes with arch supports and ask a friend to go along for moral support! You can also speak with a physical therapist from St. Luke’s, personal trainer from Four Seasons or the YMCA, or exercise physiologist for tips to get you started for LIFE. A recommended next step is to sign up today for the Live Healthy Siouxland 100-day wellness challenge at www.livehealthysiouxland.org, which begins on Monday, Jan. 28.

Cardiology practice forms partnership with Sioux City hospital DAVE DREESZEN

Business Journal editor‌

SIOUX CITY | St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center and Cardiovascular Associates P.C. recently announced the formation of a partnership to expand cardiovascular care in the region.

The new agreement, which took effect Jan. 1, will allow the Sioux City hospital and specialty practice to better coordinate pa- Wold tient care, enhance hospital services, and jointly operate cardiology clinics and manage outreach Peacock services, officials said in a statement.

“An agreement of this nature helps build a stronger hospital program with active participation from physicians in planning how to deliver high quality patient care,” St. Luke’s Chief Operating Officer Lynn Wold said in the statement.

“St. Luke’s has taken great strides to expand heart and vascular care services within our hospital and this new agreement with CVA will further enhance our ability to serve patients.”

Dr. Jon Peacock, CVA president, said the agreement will allow the practice to “remain fully focused on delivering care of the highest quality to our patients.”

“It is important to us that we make the best choices with our patients so they have the right diagnostic, interventional or surgical procedure,” Peacock said.

The new deal builds on recent collaboration between the two organizations. St. Luke’s opened a state-of-the art coronary care unit.

CVA and St. Luke’s officials said they are making plans for additional

hospital enhancements this spring, but did not elaborate further.

Under the new partnership, CVA physicians will continue to see patients at both St. Luke’s and Mercy Medical Center.

CVA has six non-invasive cardiologists, three interventional cardiologists and two electrophysiologists who see patients at clinics in Sioux City and outreach locations around Siouxland.

Highway 20 expansion costs have soared over decades

Jim Lee, Siouxland Business Journal

Highway 20 is shown near Early, Iowa, on Jan. 15. A new four-lane stretch of the highway from Rockwell City to Early opened in November. Forty-four miles of the highway from Early to Moville is left to be widened.

BRET HAYWORTH

Business Journal staff writer

SIOUX CITY | From less than $90,000 to as much as $8.5 million.

That’s how the per-mile cost to widen U.S. Highway 20 across Iowa will have risen by the time the project is done, perhaps late this decade. The Iowa Department of Transportation has been working for more than half a century to widen the approximately 300 miles between Sioux City and Dubuque from two lanes to four.

The most recently completed section, 26 miles between Rockwell City, in Calhoun County, and Early, in Sac County, opened for traffic on Nov. 19.

There are only 44 miles on the western end left to go.

But IDOT is roughly $275 million short of what it

needs to upgrade that final stretch.

There’s no set completion date, but the state will be hard-pressed to come up with the money quickly.

IDOT schedules its road work in a series of rolling

five-year plans, and for now, $101.7 million is budgeted for Highway 20 in the 2013-17 Transportation Improvement Program.

The project has been plagued by insufficient funding and lack of

commitment by IDOT to finish it as other projects have taken priority.

Before the arrival of the federal interstate highway system in the 1950s, Chicago-bound Iowa motorists relied on Highway 20

to get take them east.

Now, they’re more likely to travel Interstate 80.

But for more than Phillips five decades, Iowa residents have sought to have U.S. 20 expanded and modernized in the name of safety and economic development.

Widening started on the westernmost end, between Sioux City and Moville in Woodbury County. Then, the focus shifted east.

IDOT could have saved hundreds of millions of state and federal dollars if it had completed Highway 20 a decade ago, said Shirley Phillips, of Sac City, a longtime member of the U.S. 20 Corridor Association pushing for four lanes.

Sabre celebrates opening of new fabrication plant

Expansion doubles company’s local workforce

DAVE DREESZEN

Business Journal editor‌

SIOUX CITY | With its utility business growing at a rapid rate, Sabre Industries pulled the trigger on a major expansion.

Multiple states lined up for a chance to land the new jobs and capital investment.

In the end, the Alvarado, Texas-based company picked Sioux City over suitors, which includes Nebraska, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

President and CEO Peter Sandore said the final selection was largely to the company’s long history in Sioux City and its desire to retain and grow its large and highly-skilled work force.

“Overall, we felt the people made the decision of what we watched to do,” Sandore said at a Jan. 17 dedication ceremony for the 192,000-square-foot plant, which fabricates large steel structures for electrical transmission lines.

The $18 million plant. built on a 150-acre site in the Southbridge Business Park, is part of a multi-phase expansion that will more than double the company’s Sioux City employment.

attended the invitationonly ceremony on Jan. 11, which featured remarks by Sandore and top state and local leaders, including Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds and Mayor Bob Scott.

The ceremony culminated an expansion three years in the making.

City Economic Development Director Marty Dougherty recalled the first time he showed top Sabre executives the site, at the time a soybean field along a gravel road. The city has since installed paved streets

and other infrastructure in the Southbridge Business Park, which covers hundreds of acres south of Sioux Gateway Airport.

At the urging of city officials, Branstad called on Sabre shortly after the November 2010 election, when voters returned him to a fifth term, following a 12-year absence.

Iowa, which has a rich history of feeding the world with its traditional ag-based sector, “now feeds the economy through companies like this,” Branstad told the more than 100

people who gathered in one of the spacious bays of the new assembly floor for the invitation-only ribboncutting ceremony.

Sabre modeled the Sioux City plant after a similar facility in Alvardo, where Sandore noted the company has had trouble finding enough welders.

For its Sioux City expansion, Sabre partnered with Western Iowa Tech Community College, which established a customized program to train welders for the new plant.

The expansion saved 208

existing jobs, and created 192 new positions. Besides welding, hiring has occurred in areas that include administration, sales, operations, human resources, shipping and receiving.

Construction began last June, and was completed at a “lighting fast” pace, said Brian Newberg, executive vice president of Sabre Steel Products. Production of the

first utility support structures began in December, he said.

Highway 20: Expansion costs soared over decades

from page 10 stretch, said IDOT Transportation Planner Dakin Schultz.

A 1989 report by consulting firm Barton-Aschman Associates showed a projected $134 million, or $1.34 million per mile would pay to expand roughly 100 miles from Moville to Fort Dodge.

In 2003, when 90 miles remained to be widened,

the estimated completion cost was $450 million, or $5 million per mile.

The price tag on the Rockwell City-to-Early section is $111.3 million, or $4.3 million per mile.

The final 44 miles are expected to cost $375 million, or $8.5 million per mile, Schultz said.

Phillips said efforts to pay for the highway improvements have been hindered

by the fact that the state gasoline tax – 19 cents to 22 cents per gallon, depending on fuel type – has remained unchanged since 1989. Legislation to raise it by 10 cents a gallon over two years to raise more money for roads failed earlier this year.

IDOT’s Schultz said that with limited revenue and interests from all over the state lobbying for projects, the Iowa Transportation

Commission faces a tough task in deciding what to fund.

Phillips said if the commission chose to funnel money to Highway 20, it could be done within a halfdozen years.

“I am hoping for 2017, 2018,” she said.

It may be a vain hope.

The $101.7 million budgeted through 2017 is for work from Moville to

Correctionville.

Of that, $35.5 million is for grading 11.5 miles between Moville and Correctionville in 2014 and $23.5 million for paving in 2016.

In 2015, grading and paving a mile adjacent to Correctionville is budgeted at $10.5 million.

Work on bridges and land acquisition for the highway in Woodbury County will total another $26.2 million.

The next phase is expected to begin by the middle of this year, with completion anticipated for early 2014, Sandore said. When finished, it will allow Sabre to shift production of its communications towers from its older plant at 2101 Murray St. to the Southbridge site, putting all of its Sioux City operations under one roof.

Two additional bays will be added onto the new fabrication plant, Sandore said.

At the same time, the CEO said, the company will look to construct a galvanizing plant, which would create even more jobs.
