hour that includes executives on down. Some places in the industrial park are $10 to $12 an hour. Jahn has told PacMoore they will have to raise their minimum wage to hire people and PaclVIaore said they could, but it not they will have to adjust their minimum wage. Councilman Shields said that wage isn't that high, but maybe should to look at the improvements in the area and the fact people will be working. He doesn't think we are going to see a factory with union wages come to Mooresville. It isn't enough money but he thinks it will be a benefit for them to be here. Councilman Bryant said he had some figures he wanted some help to clarify. The Redevelopment Commission has committed $275,000 for infrastructure, $50,000 of $175,000 for the retention pond, and about $400,000 in savings on tax abatements. That is $725,000 and now the Town is going to throw in another $110,000 to make sure they come here and not somewhere else. That does not make sense. John Taylor thinks bringing the wastewater lines to PacMoore will also make the Field's property mare attractive to somebody else coming to the community and the water runoff in the surrounding area going to the retention pond will. help also. He said the Town would still be receiving taxes it is receiving now with the abatement. Councilman Bryant said the Redevelopment Commission receives that money not the Town of Mooresville. A motion was made by Councilman Clark with a second by Councilman Dolen to approve spending $110,000 from Build Indiana Funds, town money not redevelopment money, for the road at PacMoore. Motion carried 4-1. Councilman Bryant opposed. Truck routes: Councilman Bryant reported he had called Martinsville and the sign they have is working for them and the ordinance is a good one and easily enforced. He doesn't know how they enforce the ordinance. Trucks making deliveries are o. k. The police department said it was working for them. Council President Worthen said his concern was the local deliveries and he would support trying what Martinsville is doing. The investment for signs would be a low investment. Dennis Knierim will have Chief Viles get the Martinsville Ordinance and talk with their police chief about it. Council President Worthen wants him to get copies of ordinance and any important facts to the Town Council. A motion was made by Councilman Shields with a second by Councilman Dalen to deny apart time employee at this time for the Utility Department. Motion carved 4-1. Councilman Clark opposed. Councilman Bryant reported on banners for the decorative poles. A patriotic banner for Memorial Day to Labor Day, a harvest banner with apples for Labor Day thru Thanksgiving, a Christmas banner from Thanksgiving to New Years, and put the Indiana State Flag banners up in March. It takes one day to put up forty banners. The Cadillac plan quote: includes three different types of Christmas, custom made four ofthe banners would always be up an Indiana state flag saying Welcome to Mooresville at the four entrances. A 17 X 45 is $11,042.00 and 20 X 48 is $15,949.00. There is a balance of $2,060 in the Town Improvement fund where TOA had made a donation to the Revitalization Committee. Councilman Bryant told the council they could ask the Redevelopment Commission to help financially as part of their street scaping project. A motion was made by Councilman Dolen with a second by Councilman Clark to give permission for Councilman Bryant to go to the Redevelopment Commission. Motion carried 4-0. Councilman Bryant told the council they could also buy brackets, poles, and an unfurl mechanism to keep flags from wrapping around the poles to fit on the poles used for the Christmas Decorations. The brackets fit into the existing Christmas Decoration bracket. The cost would be $2,160.00. We already have the flags. This is the same company we bought the Christmas decorations from last year. Since we bought the Christmas decorations last year we didn't re-encumber the money for 2005. The council will try to come up with some creative ways to fund the purchases plus going to the Redevelopment Commission. Council President Worthen reported the Fire Department was starting a new training program and in order to apply for any federal grants this course is necessary. The program goes up to 8001eve1 and our firefighters will be aggressively achieving the highest level possible. 1 1 1
