GI <br /> economic development. Mr. Scalf requested Harold Gutzwiller recues himself because <br /> of a conflict of interest. He stated George Watkins had a conflict of interest because he <br /> was on Town Council, Morgan County Economic Development, and Mooresville <br /> Redevelopment Boards. Don Stultz has a conflict of interest because of Kroger in the <br /> Village Shopping Center. Tim Corman has a conflict because of Plan Commission. That <br /> board requires ten days before the meeting to put on the agenda but received the plan <br /> amendment 26 hours before the meeting. Mr.Currens is attorney for Redevelopment <br /> Commission,Town Council and the Plan Commission. Tony Langley voted for and had <br /> a conflict of interest. The premature press release was another problem. <br /> Mrs. Swindle: 38 West Washington Street. Her objections were that gateways were not <br /> needed. If a tornado goes through money will be needed. People are hurting financially <br /> and right now the school is helping with food for kids. Ivy Tech is already here and the <br /> High School and she doesn't think the commission should spend taxpayer dollars for Ivy <br /> Tech. Times are hard and she said she was offended by the way Commissioner Corman <br /> laughed when he looked at the signatures of those speaking and said it was so funny it <br /> was sad these people want to oppose this. She asked him why he didn't move his <br /> business to Mooresville and then the Town would get the taxes from it. <br /> Donald Wallace: 5226 East Orchard Road in Madison Township said he was realizing he FI <br /> will someday be annexed into the Town of Mooresville and his main concern is the Ivy <br /> Tech project. He stated this is not a good business deal. He has worked for banks for 32 <br /> years and why would a town want to buy a commercial real estate venture. The furniture <br /> cost should be Ivy Tech's cost and$825,000 is too much to spend on refurbishing the <br /> building. His other worry was the buildings and parking lot being on coal ash that was <br /> used as fill. We don't know if there is shifting of the substrate. He thought an engineer <br /> should be called in to test the fill. No environmental studies have been done or core <br /> samples of the parking lot. They are giving up 2.2 million dollars in revenue. Just on the j <br /> Ace Hardware building portion alone they are $11.60 a square foot short of the current <br /> market and there is just a soft commitment of ten years on a lease. This is not a good <br /> plan. He is afraid one day he might wake up and realize we made some bad deals due to <br /> environmental issues. <br /> Mr. Riddick 13400 Cottonwood Court Heartland Crossing in Camby but is a taxpayer in <br /> Morgan County and includes the Mooresville School District. He is concerned with <br /> purchasing this property since Ivy Tech would only be using 9600 square feet but are <br /> buying the whole shopping Center. Since the commission won't allow questions he finds <br /> this whole thing a sham and is going to sit down. <br /> Beulah Patterson 200 Locust Lane said she moved here in 1958 and sees two advantages <br /> to this purchase. One, she doesn't like to see a lot of empty unused buildings, and two it <br /> is a plus that Ivy Tech wants to be so visible in our community. Other businesses could <br /> come in and she commends the commission for what they are doing for our community. <br /> it <br />
