DIXON A portion of River Road is expected to close on Wednesday and remain closed for 4 to 6 weeks.

The road, from Ottawa Avenue to Bunnys Bait Shop, will be closed for sewer and water work.

The work should be among the last elements of the downtown streetscape project, which is still on pace to finish in November, Commissioner Jeff Kuhn said.

Here is a summary of other work planned for streetscape work next week:

On First Street, west of Peoria Avenue, work will continue on sidewalks, pavers and lighting installations. Daytime closures of the south side of the street might occur.

On Peoria Avenue, between River and First streets, the east side of the street will be closed for work on sidewalk, electrical, pavements, and curb and gutter. The west side of the street will remain open for detoured traffic.

On Ottawa Avenue, between First and River streets, curb and gutter installation will start Wednesday, followed by sidewalk work. New foundations for light poles will also be installed. Also, new asphalt pavement will be placed in the parking lot off Ottawa Avenue at the end of the week. The lot is expected to be open the next week.

The software business model has changed and that change has put more emphasis on keeping customers and keeping them happy than in the past. Gone are the days when a software business could sell an installation and then wait for a customer to call with a problem. The service model that has swept the software industry (business software anyway) means exactly that, customers need to be serviced (keep your mind out of the gutter) if theyre going to remain customers.

The startup software developer Gainsight has spent the last three years developing technology to ensure that account managers can do their jobs better, and has just raised $25 million in new financing on the belief that as account managers become more central to businesses, the companys technology will become more central to account managers.

Initially founded as Jbara roughly four years ago, the company has managed to develop a technology that responds to the changing ways in which software for businesses are being sold, according to Bessemer Venture Partners Byron Deeter, whose firm led the latest round for Gainsight.

Its the second time in two years that Gainsight has raised a big round. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company raised roughly $20 million in November 2013 from investors including Summit Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, Battery Ventures and Salesforce Ventures.

We still had half the money we raised from the balance sheet, says chief executive Nick Mehta. The reason for the round, which could value the company at somewhere between $200 million and $250 million, was to bring in experience investors like Bessemer and co-investor Lightspeed Venture Partners, according to Mehta. We had the opportunity to partner and we really wanted to double-down, Mehta says.

The way people think about customer relationship and sales are changing dramatically, Mehta says. They dont sit by the phone and wait for the support call. Anytime anyone interacts with a customer, they have a quantitative view of customer health [using Gainsight].

The Gainsight software analyzes different aspects of account managers interactions with customers and then creates reports around those interactions, based on the assessment of those interactions the company offers predictive solutions and automates parts of the account management relationship, Mehta says.

So far, there are around 100 customers using the companys service, including a few in both the Lightspeed and Bessemer portfolios. In a world where every customer experience is amplified on social media, these types of tools are critical, says Nakul Mandan, a principal partner at Lightspeed. These things have gone from a cost center to a revenue generator.

As Account Management Gains Importance, Gainsight Raises $25 Million

On two occasions, it has taken months for the same sidewalk on Main Street to be fixed.

Councillors vote on a motion at the Oct. 6, 2014 council meeting at city hall.

As of Mondays council meeting, the portion of the water service line from the curb and gutter to the water main line in front of 132 Main St. N. isnt finished.

There had been a water line break in the winter time. It was left as a pile of rabble and holes well into, I believe it was July, said Coun. Brian Swanson. The enquiry does point out for at least April, May, June, part of July, we had a main street sidewalk that was treacherous.

The enquiry, submitted by Swanson, stated because of the location of the work and how much work was remaining, the property owners requested a temporary installation of paving to be done in the 2014 tourist season.

The repair that did occur at 132 Main St. N. was initiated first of all as a repair on the service line, said Duane Grado, public works manager. Thats between the building and the control valve thats just onto the pavers that are located in front of that building.

He said that happened around June and the business owner didnt want to disrupt customer flow for the summer.

The main contractor couldnt be scheduled in, so we got a local contractor to do a temporary repair, said Grado. Were actually scheduling right now for this week or for next week to do that one and the one in front of Timothy Eatons.

After the service relay is completed, all concrete, pavers and asphalt will be repaired permanently.

A tale of long Main Street sidewalk repairs

Some European tourists spend their vacations at Yosemite or Big Sur. Desiree van Hoek takes hers on skid row.

For the last five years, the Dutch photographer has dedicated much of the summer to shooting what she describes as the beauty and humor beneath the grit and misery of the 50-block downtown homeless enclave.

"I'm a little bit hooked on skid row right now," Van Hoek said recently.

Maybe it's the Lambruscos and ethnic cafes that are bringing the hipsters of downtown Los Angeles face to face with skid row's street encampments. Or a renewed local and national focus on the homeless crisis. But what was once a no-man's land is alive with documentary filmmakers, artists and even a comic, seeking their canvas, or a muse, amid the tarps and cardboard boxes.

An installation by Los Angeles Poverty Department, a 30-year-old skid row theater troupe, was part of the late artist Mike Kelley's show this summer at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.

"All of a sudden it became a thing to make your own portrait or caricature of skid row," said skid row activist Kevin Michael Key.

Some of those who work with the homeless, such as Ann-Sophie Morrissette of the Downtown Women's Center, call some of the art "poverty porn."

Drive-by videos of needles, filth and vermin shot from car windows by kids with their faces hidden by blankets, and set to dirge-like soundtracks invite viewers to gawk at homeless people without context or understanding, critics say. Other projects are dismissed as the naive work of newbies who think they'll be the first to expose skid row or save it.

Some artists find the atmosphere less than welcoming. Shanks Rajendran, an Australian filmmaker, said he was robbed this summer during the making of "Los Scandalous Skid Row." Rajendran described the documentary as the story of "the true gutter life in Los Angeles; from prostitution, homelessness, hard addiction, the drug dealers' perspective, police corruption and the system designed to keep them all there."

For a series called "Life Line Booth," Toronto filmmaker Ryan Oksenberg and friends installed a table, chairs, water, donated clothing and a bulletin board in front of a bank of sidewalk pay phones.

Gutter Installation: Why should you let professionals do this job? - Video

The Story County Board of Supervisors has approved $235,000 in tax-increment financing assistance for eight urban renewal area projects around the county, including $56,000 for a clock tower center in Nevada and $45,000 for a new water main in Kelley.

At its Tuesday meeting, supervisors signed off on those and six other projects located in seven towns and the Colo-Nesco School District for the TIF programs third year. The program was started to provide assistance for infrastructure projects, public land and trail improvements and Main Street revitalization.

Funding requests for this years approved projects, combined and after revisions, were about $60,000 above the $235,000 available without the county incurring debt by providing additional financing through bonds.

In 2012, the first year of the urban renewal area project, debts were incurred for the three approved projects, which included the expansion of the Dakins Lake county park outside Zearing.

However, supervisors agreed that none of the project applications this year rose to the level of justifying taking on debts.The board voted unanimously to approve revised figures suggested by Supervisor Rick Sanders that reduced each projects TIF funding by about 20 percent to meet the $235,000 limit.

The other TIF assistance projects approved by the supervisors Tuesday were $32,000 for a Collins water line project, $14,000 for the second phase of a Colo-Nesco playground project that received $45,000 in TIF funding from the board last year, $13,000 for a Huxley Heart of Iowa Trail resurfacing project, $30,000 for a Maxwell curb and gutter installation project, $21,000 for Slater Main Street improvements and $24,000 for Zearing Main Street building renovations.

Supervisors rejected TIF funding for three projects a Collins Main Street revitalization project that had been withdrawn after it was previously deemed ineligible, a separate Collins storm sewer project and a Story City project to build a street named after former Democratic state Sen. Rich Olive in the towns business park.

The projects were rejected because, supervisors agreed, the TIF program wasnt meant to fund road work and, in the case of Story City, separate TIF funding had already been secured for the project a fact Story City Administrator Mark Jackson previously argued, without success, shouldnt be a deciding factor.

However, the board agreed that the curb and gutter work in Maxwell was an exception because of its proximity to the Story County Freedom Rock, a veterans memorial, which made the board view the project more as a park improvement than road work.
