Mr. Langley explained they were still growing and had two new opportunities to grow but needed eight more heat scaling presses to take on new medical work. This work is currently done in Indianapolis and this company does not want to expand. Mt. Olive would need 4-5 more employees plus they have already added two people this year and are now at 26 employees. Current salaries are now at $669,300.00. One of the presses will take four months to build. Seven of the eight machines are used, all are new to Indiana. This proposed project cost is $170,000. A motion was made by Commission Nelson with a second by Commission Watkins this project does not adversely affect the TIF District and to recommend to the Town Council. This would be a five year abatement. Motion carried 3-0. Scott Miller, Umbaugh& Assoc., appeared before the commission with a financial report on the final phase of the Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion. The project estimate cost at this time is 18,161,000.00. This report is assuming a six million dollar grant from OKRA if the wastewater bills are over $30.00 and 4.5 million dollar grant if the wastewater bill is under $30.00. They are looking at a possible 27% from TIF District and the balance from a bond at the State Revolving fund. Getting the grant in 'asap' is of great importance. They can now file for the grant earlier than mid July. Scott Miller said that when the application is submitted they need to know if TIE funds are going to be used. Commissioner Nelson asked to be brought up to date on the latest improvements. HNTB has established certain projects to bring the town into compliance since we are at capacity. Commissioner Gutzwiller asked what the inflow infiltration is, separation of storm water vs. sewer. Attorney Cu rrcns didn't think infiltration is a problem. Commission Nelson said he personally doesn't want to make a 20 year commitment on his first day as commissioner, but he is comfortable with a cash on hand contribution. Commissioner Watkins said he has an issue with committing a third of TIF's revenue stream over a 20 year period. After much discussion this item was tabled to April 19, 2010 at 7 AM. Joy Sessing, Morgan County Economic Development, stated Jim Ransome's resignation will need a Town Council President appointment to the commission and they have to live within the Town limits.
