MOORESVILLE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 2004, 7:00 AM The Mooresville Redevelopment Commission met on Thursday moming at 7:00 A. M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Commission members present were: Brian Nelson, Dave Kollmeyer, Jim Ransom, Mike Haskins, and Jim Ellis. No members were absent. Chairman Brian Nelson called the meeting to order and asked everyone to review the contract submitted by Mike Shaver, Wabash Scientific. The cost of the original plan was $7,500. The original plan was completed in 1990. Mike Shaver told the commission what he would like to do is give them a plan that has the old plan wording in it plus the 2004 amendments. When someone comes in three years later and asks what was changed they will be able to read one plan that clearly says it includes the 2004 amendment but they could read down each section and see what was changed. He anticipates three to five meeting with members of other boards and he thinks most of the focus will be on each project the Town Council set out in their letter to the Redevelopment Commission. (See attached). Mr. Shaver told the commission that Jason Sempler and Lauren Matthes would have to work on the financial aspect of the projects. Mr. Shaver wants to make sure when TIF money is used to do something like a sewer expansion the plan states correctly how this effects the area outside the TIF area. Attomey Tim Currens stated the law had been changed and he did not see a problem with money spent outside the area where it is going to benefit the whole. Two reasons to expand the boundaries: First to capture more tax increment and the second would be to spread the benefit to a larger area. The contract amount is a lump sum of $10,000. If the $10,000 is expended/and more expertise and more meetings are needed to finish the scope, there will be no extra cost; if more meetings are needed to revise the scope then there will be an extra charge, a second negotiation. For the $10,000, three meetings will be held between Mike Shaver and Depart Heads, Town Council, and Redevelopment Commission to collect the findings, then a public presentation of findings, a public heating, a presentation to the Town Council, and then the final documentation. If more meetings are needed, or there is a public outcry, a decision will be made on extra cost. A meeting with the plan commission is also required only if they are changing the boundaries. Mr. Shaver will add an item 4A to include a presentation to the plan commission. Helen Humes suggested that under gl the Mooresville School District be included. Mr. Shaver told the commission he had found no bond council he had worked with in the past thirteen or fourteen years that could tell him why school projects could not be added. There is a statute that outline where TIF revenues could be spent and the issue is because the school district is a separate taxing entity they may be excluded because of this. In Hendricks
