Mike Rastrelli is quick to say he’s living the “American Dream.” Rastrelli’s Restaurant in Clinton was established in 1939 by his parents Pete and Ida Rastrelli. Pete was an Italian immigrant and Ida was the child of immigrants, orphaned at the age of 12. Rastrelli’s was the fulfillment of their life’s ambition. First a candy shop, then a soda fountain, and eventually one of the first restaurants in Iowa to serve pizza, Rastrelli’s evolved with the times to meet the needs and tastes of the Clinton Community.

VIP Event Honors Rastrelli Their youngest son Mike Rastrelli, now owner of the restaurant Restaurateur of the Year Award that bears their name, was quick to honor his parents’ memories when he accepted the Iowa Restaurant Association’s Mike Rastrelli highest honor, 2010 Restaurateur of the Year. The presentation was made at a packed VIP reception last month as part of the IRA’s annual Celebrating Excellence! Culinary Arts Gala. The award recognizes business acumen and a commitment to Iowa’s restaurant industry.

Expanding Educational Opportunities Rastrelli has worked in the restaurant business his entire life. He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New Haven, CT and was also trained by the U.S. Army as a cook. His commitment to helping others choose the restaurant industry as a profession has been nearly unparalleled. He has given hundreds of young people their first jobs. In fact, several hundred former employees recently attended a Rastrelli’s employee reunion. Rastrelli also partnered with the Clinton Public School System to offer school-to-work educational training programs to students.

If your representation at the Iowa State establishment is not yet a member, get Capitol. Craig Walter, a former involved today. state representative himself, has been lobbying on behalf of Iowa’s restaurants and bars since the early 1990s. As the IRA lobbyist, Walter spends the better part of January through May at the State Capitol, tracking proposed legislation and amendments, attending committee meetings, and most importantly networking with legislators in the Rotunda—all to ensure the industry’s interests remain “top of mind” when state lawmakers consider issues that could impact the hospitality business climate. Walter is often joined by IRA President and CEO Doni DeNucci, as well as various IRA members, at committee meetings and hearings—ensuring that the concerns of restaurant and bar owners are heard.

The Iowa Restaurant Association was founded in 1933 by a group of Iowa restaurateurs who sought to promote a spirit of cooperation among members as well as to encourage and influence legislation impacting the industry. Those foundational tenants have remained at the heart of the organization for its 75+ year history. Over the decades, the Association has successfully promoted the interest of operators. The Association’s member-driven legislative agenda continues to address the day-in and day-out concerns of operators across the state. 2011 Legislative Priorities

COMMERCIAL Commercial property is taxed at the full 100% valuation of the property while residential and PROPERTY TAX agricultural property pay only a small percentage of valuation. This places an unfair and nearly INEQUITIES overwhelming tax burden on small business owners. The IRA, in partnership with other small business advocacy groups, is seeking revision of Iowa’s commercial property tax system.

INSPECTION Increased inspection fees are simply taxes in another form. The IRA believes the Department of FEES Inspections and Appeals has adequate resources. Fee increases would be yet another burden on struggling business owners.

AFFORDABLE Iowa’s restaurant employees need access to affordable, quality health care. Given national HEALTHCARE healthcare legislation has been passed, the IRA will proactively work with state and national ALTERNATIVES legislators to find solutions that are cost-effective for restaurant owner/operators and employees alike.

Iowa’s Restaurant Industry— Key Part of State Economy

Iowa restaurants represent 10 percent of the state’s total employment with more than 145,000 workers paid more than $1 billion in wages annually. In addition, the industry generates significant state sales tax revenue with annual sales of more than $3.3 billion.

The Iowa Restaurant Association represents the interests of restaurant and tavern operators directly to lawmakers on issues that impact your business.

Emerging Issues

TAX HIKES ON The IRA opposes allowing cities and counties to impose additional local taxes on patrons of food RESTAURANT and beverage establishments (similar to hotel taxes and fees). Such local option taxes would PATRONS increase consumer prices and impose an unfair playing field on establishments in adjoining communities.

RIGHT The IRA has consistently supported consumer education efforts including the national uniform TO menu labeling legislation. However, the Association will also proactively support legislative efforts SERVE which ensure restaurant owners maintain the right to prepare and serve food that appeals to the marketplace in which they operate. Healthy eating should be promoted by education and information, not mandates or bans on certain ingredients or cooking styles.

NATIONAL The Iowa Restaurant Association and the National Restaurant Association recognize immigration IMMIGRATION reform is necessary and must be conducted at the national level by Congress. The National REFORM Restaurant Association is carrying the concerns of the restaurant industry directly to Congress as solutions are considered.

IMPACT The Iowa Restaurant Association will promote open discussion related to the pros and cons of OF FOOD use of food products in alternative fuel production. Food margins are very tight and restaurant TO FUEL operators track prices closely. Any legislative action that causes a substantial increase in the cost of foods is cause for concern to the industry, as well as consumers.

Ongoing Issues—Reform Needed

ELIMINATE The restaurant and retail beverage industry is the only industry selling alcohol that is required DRAM SHOP to carry additional liability insurance addressing intoxicated persons who cause injury to a third MANDATES party. Current Dram Shop requirements are not only a repetitive coverage to property insurance, they offer no liability limits and do not require proof a business owner or employee actively contributed to the intoxication of the person causing injury. This requirement places an unfair burden on the industry and should be repealed.

PREVENT The IRA believes restaurants should not be held legally responsible for serving their customers FRIVOLOUS food that the customer requests. Frivolous lawsuits deny the role of personal responsibility plays LAWSUITS in the dietary choices individuals make. Healthy eating should be promoted by education and information, not lawsuits.

Never Wonder When to Hit the Capitol Steps Iowa Restaurant Association members receive up-to-the-minute reports about impending legislation, including information about which legislators to call on which topics. These grassroots efforts are part of the IRA’s Iowa Grassroots Opportunities (I-GO) Network.

All Conversation Power Lives with Majority Party

Nationally at in the Iowa State Legislature, the House Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader exert significant power over what proposed legislation has a serious chance of passing. As the leaders of their respective bodies, their most powerful tool is arguably the power to set the legislative calendars determining when (and if) bills will be debated and voted on. Often, these leaders utilize this power to make sure bills supported by the majority party are passed.
