Helen Humes introduced Randy Langdon, owner of Cougar Bag, Inc., to the council to explain the process by which their plastic bags were made in their plant. Mr. Congdon showed the council the building design plans for Lot. 161ocated in Flagstaff Business Park. He explained the process by showing a bag of resin pellets they begin with and then put on rolls and make the plastic bags. They make food grade and standard bags of all sizes. The building is to be 27,000 square feet with 1800 square feet of office space. Councilman Bryant asked about the wages, if the $10 per hour plus benefits a starting wage or an average wage. Mr. Langdon said the wages would range from $8 to $20 per hour plus benefits depending on the skill level. He explained to the council they had never had a problem with OSHA, that they had never inked, and if they do in the future they would use water base ink not oil based. There would be a three-foot mushroom on top of the building that would release a little bit of fume. Helen Humes told the council Cougar Bag was now adding a mezzanine, which would add $35,D00 to the total investment. Councilrr-an Mathis said Dan Tingle from the Wastewater Treatment Plant had reported there would not be a problem with this project, he was making a motion to approve the tax abatement, Confirmatory Resolution #24, 2003. A second to the motion was made by Councilman Clark. Motion carried S-0. Helen Humes introduced Lisa and Tom Liffick, owners of Honey & Me, to the council. Haney & Me Distribution Center will be on Lot 141ocated in Flagstaff Business Park. The Liffick.'s had a design plan of the building for the council to view. The building will be 48,000 square feet with 6,000 square feet of office space. The Lifficks told the council they had 25 employees currently and expected to double that amount in the next two years. Councilman Mathis asked when they had began shipping all over the world. Lisa replied she had been in the craft business since 1991 and began importing her designs at least four years. Councilman Mathis said he was always excited when someone takes a small business and makes it work and wishedrtlrem the best-off luck: A -- -- - - motion was made by Councilman Mathis, with a second from Councilman Clark to approve Confirmatory Resolution #25, 2003 for tax abatement for Honey & Me. Motion carved 5-D. Jerome Witte Brookmore Drainage issue. Councilman Worthen reported to the council Joe Beikman, Street Superintendent, had shot the elevations and we were going to be able to run south to the corner and utilize an existing pipe and put a catch basin where it crosses with a grate for any extra or additional water that may come off the surface of the property and run it south to a drainage ditch and run it back to Old 67. The Witte's have been left a message. Town attorney Tim Currens reported on the progress of the weed ordinance. He is looking into which departments will be involved and looking at the state statutes to define certain things, such as what type and length regulations. He said it was in the works. Councilman Bryant reported he wanted to discuss the Facility Plan the council members received back in the month of May from HNTB for the Wastewater Treatment Plant at the next meeting. He is going to ask Dan Tingle to come and give his presentation of what the plan would do for the plant. He said maybe this would get us a little bit closer to making a decision. __
