Commissioner Gutzwiller introduced Jason Semler, Principal with Umbaugh for the purpose of presenting the annual report. The report is a new statutory requirement that went into effect in July 2018 requiring underlying taxing units be provided certain criteria. Semler provided detailed the report and copies are available online. A motion was made by Commissioner Stultz and seconded by Commissioner Boyd to approve the executive session and public meeting minutes from November 1. The motion carried 3-0. Copies of the financials were not presented prior to the meeting. Public Comment: Danny Lundy asked the RDC to elaborate on the purchase of the Pauley Property. Commissioner Gutzwiller shared that the Purchase Agreement (PA) that has been executed is for the roughly 100 acres located between Merriman Road, SR 67, Flagstaff Business Park and Bethel Road. The RDC will use cash on hand to purchase the property for future industrial development. Later in the meeting, Commissioner Gutzwiller shared they would present a resolution and Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding a shell building project. There is a need for existing inventory for new employers and county -wide, Morgan County has very little to offer. Attorney Steuerwald shared that although the RDC has entered into a PA, they haven't closed on the property. Southbridge Crossing: Manns shared that the Harding Group has completed the patch work for the parking lot and the bill is included in the docket. Manns noted they are still working towards an offer on Southbridge. Gateway Project Update: Bicentennial Park: Manns shared the lights around the flame are finally operational. They are still awaiting the replacement gaskets which will be replaced once they come in. Indiana Street: No update. High Street: Manns shared the INDOT consultants are awaiting word from the Town regarding whether sewer will be included in the project. That is up to the Council. Once that decision is made, the plans will be updated and provided to the RDC. They believe the next public meeting will be held in February.
