Perry, Clerk-Treasur October 5, 2004 The Mooresville Town Council rnet in regular sessian on Tuesday, October 5, 2004, at 6:30 P. M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Council members present were President Tom Warthen, Troy Bryant, Toby Dolen, and Eric Shields. John L. Clark was absent. Attorney Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Councilman Dolen with a second by Councilman Shields to approve the minutes of September 21, 2004 meeting. Motion carried 4-0. Helen Humes, Morgan County Economic Development Director, explained to the council that Riverside Stone was granted atax- abatement in April of 2000. They received both a tax-abatement on a building and atax-abatement on equipment. Riverside Stone delivered the compliance statement to the Council. The other two forms necessary go directly to the County Auditor and the council does not see these. One of the forms Riverside Stone left their signature off of by accident. The Department of Local Government Finance is saying they can't have the abatement an equipment unless the Town Council gives their approval to proceed with the tax abatement. Councilman Bryant commented that the equipment taxes are not captured to the T1F District but was forwarded on to the Town.

But obviously the building was under imminent domain and we were in court over that issue.

He said once another appraisal is done by the Town the property would be put at a price the Town probably would not want to pay. Councilman Warthen asked Building Inspector Joe Beikman why he had been denied. Mr. Beikman said the last permit application anly had a name and. address an it and nothing else. The property is zoned for business and Mr. Turner needs to file for a change of occupancy with the State of Indiana and needs to bring the building up to code for a commercial structure.
