Tony Berns doesn’t think about his personal legacy. Instead, the executive director of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, ignite cda, said he thinks about the legacy that will be left by the agency itself. “I hope that people will remember the old Lake City Development Corp./ignite cda and what we’ve done. I hope they appreciate the work that went into the creation of great things for the community,” Berns said in an interview Thursday. “I hope they remember that stuff like that just doesn’t happen on its own.” This month, ignite cda’s nine-member, volunteer board of directors will conclude its evaluation of Berns’ job performance and publicly vote on any proposed increases to his compensation — an annual practice since Berns was hired as executive director in 2001/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Do you approve/disapprove of the job Berns has done in the last 5 years?
