She expects other areas of underbudgeting would compensate for the reduced revenue. “The bottom line is I can’t imagine any of this would have any budget ramifications,” Goers wrote in an e-mail. Though 2010 numbers do not account for an entire year, the decline is still noticeable. In a Daily Iowan analy- sis of Iowa City police PAULA citations, from January to September 2007, Iowa City had col- lected at least $114,840 in revenue solely from PAULAs. The first nine months of 2008 generated at least $138,420, and $123,480 in 2009. Though the City Council hasn’t weighed heavily upon the issue of PAULA revenue, numerous councilors agree the decline is a welcomed sign. “We are thrilled at the decrease,” said City Councilor Mike Wright. “We’d be thrilled to have no PAULAs at all.” Wright said the money taken in from PAULAs is not viewed simply as revenue for the city. In fact, each PAULA also costs the city after factor- ing in things such as police time and efforts, he said. Other instances of increased revenue, including the downtown Plaza Centre One, which now pays property taxes, have offset the decline in PAULA revenues, fellow Councilor Connie Champi- on said. However, Champion, who backs the 21- ordinance, said she feels the decrease in revenue is ultimately worth it. “I’d be glad to give up that revenue,” she said.

CHICAGO — Mike Quade had just been fish- ing in Florida when he found out he caught the big one. That, of course, was the Cubs’ managing job. “The timing of it, it’s comical,” he said. The Cubs decided to keep Quade as their manager, choosing to go with the man who ran the team well for the last six weeks of last sea- son rather than high-profile Hall of Famer and franchise icon Ryne Sandberg. Quade, Chicago’s third- base coach the past four years, was given a two-year contract Tuesday along with a club option for 2013.
