I’m assuming that they plan on taking this money out of the sales tax fund that we were promised was going away as soon as the initial construction was completed. That’s something da davidson missing from WDAZ’s story but they at least covered it. The Grand Forks Herald is doing their best to keep the public uninformed on how our money is being mishandled.
Shouldn’t the football fans be paying for this? Certainly the voters weren’t told that they’d have to be continually be throwing more money from the building da davidson fund tax to keep the building up. Rather we were told that the 1/4 cent restaurant and hotel tax would be all we’d need to pay to keep the place current.
The fact that the Alerus has been so mismanaged that they have to come back again and again is disgusting. This tax that we approved was meant to pay for the initial da davidson building of the Alerus Center. It certainly wasn’t meant to go on forever. Since then they have tapped into this fund to redecorate (illegal) as well as to add to the parking lot. The one that really cooks my bacon is the massive amount we got stuck paying to replace the convention center entrance that they had torn down to accommodate da davidson the private privileged hotel operator.
I think the Alerus has probably hosted one-hundred football games in the eleven football season it’s been opened. There are maybe six home Sioux games a year and the Alerus has hosted da davidson a few high school regional games. If that one-hundred games is correct and we really have to spend $4 million replacing the carpet that means that each game is costing the taxpayers in the ballpark of $40,000 apiece. The question is why should those that don’t attend football games pay others entertainment?

I have enjoyed revenue management experiencing an array of concerts as well as attending a number of events, over the last eight years I have been in town. It was amazing seeing Cher, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Fleetwood Mac and others just ten minutes from my house. I also witnessed two presidential candidates appearing on the same stage, within hours of each other, when then-Senators Obama and Clinton visited Grand Forks during the ND Democratic Convention. Thousands of people traveled from all over the region to see this historic event for our community. With only days to prepare and working around an international sporting event starting the same day in Grand Forks, it was amazing what a successful revenue management event this was.

This is the first installment in what will be a series of photo galleries documenting the construction and implementation of AstroTurf's Magic Carpet II Conversion System for the new infill turf at the Alerus Center. The turf itself will be AstroTurf's GameDay Grass 3D60H  that has also been recently installed at Kansas State's Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Tennessee's Indoor Football Facility.   Construction crews removed the old AstroTurf from the building in late May and began working immediately on the pit that will house the state-of-the-art conversion system .

UPC music coordinator Jordan Cespedes said that when planning the concert, UPC intended to pick a different artist, but because things were planned a little too late, it did not work out. The original finalists for Spring Jam were B.o.B, Flo Rida, Fall Out Boy, The All American Rejects and Hot Chelle Rae.

I m very disappointed, UND student Amy Halvorson said. I was really hoping we would get someone ex pat more neutrally popular, someone basically everyone can enjoy. And I feel like Wiz has a very specific audience.

Summary Alerus Financial reported record earnings of $0.44 per share. The bank continues to benefit from a healthy loan portfolio and strong revenues from non-interest related activities. After a long run, shares trade at a premium, piper jaffray but the bank's piper jaffray performance continues to deliver.
Alerus Financial Corp. (OTCQB: ALRS ) posted earnings of $0.44 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2014, up 15.8% YOY. Net income for the quarter was at $6.2 million, up 18.7% YOY. Some investors steer clear of smaller community banks because of their low trading volume, and management's 3-for-1 stock split at the end of August was done with this in mind. I also mention it here because the numbers above are adjusted for the split, anyone looking at older filings (or my last article ) will need to do a little piper jaffray extra work.
After restructuring its investment portfolio (to decrease duration / interest rate risk), the bank booked related security gains of $1.8 million, bringing non-interest income up to $21.49 million for the quarter. Taking this out, and discounting mortgage origination fees, brings piper jaffray the bank's 'core' non-interest revenues down to ~$19 million (my calculation). Still a very high level considering it tops the bank's net interest income ($14 million).
Retirement service and wealth management lines (~60% of core fee income) continue to grow and support the bank's premium valuation (trades at 1.93X TBV), but they will need to continue to grow for shares to maintain their momentum. This bank is going up for sure, but shares may be a little ahead of earnings. Because of this, I'd keep new money on the sidelines and it makes a lot more sense to sit tight and/or hold shares at this time.
