Discuss Ohio EPA WPCLF Agreement |
These agreements are back from the Prosecutor.
Mr. Hall has question why these funds would be used. He has
spoken with Mr. Musallam and gave explanation - matching monies
with stipulations such as CDBG dollars are involved. Mr.
Musallam and Mr. Burkhard were present to answer any questions.
Mr. Hall added he has less concerns today than he did last week.
Mr. Musallam noted there is no capitalized interest on this
money. He also said that there are less restrictions on monies
from USEPA.
Up to $300,000 would be available but there is no obligation to
use this money. Mr. Burkhard said with all the income surveys
done already it would make sense to leave these funds in place -
it is a 0% loan.
Mr. Burkhard has been authorized by the Commissioners to sign
this paperwork but Mr. Hall just wanted the Board to be aware.
If the Commissioners are okay with it, they will proceed.
Commissioner Barnaby expressed approval and Commissioner Genter
said yes, you have to keep the option open.
Mr. Musallam said that all easements are recorded and the
project is ready to start. |

Don Krieger, Director Solid Waste/Recycling - Discuss
Solid Waste Policy Comm. Appointments |
Mr. Krieger said that he needs two members at
large and one from industry. He wondered of the Commissioners if
they wished to keep the two that has been on and that there is
presently no one representing industry. Every 5 years the
4-County plan is reviewed and rewritten and that is the only
time the policy board meets.
Commissioner Genter said if the two are still interested, then
keep them on. Mr. Krieger will check with CDD to see if they
have someone in mind there that would serve in that spot. |

Diane Miller, Northwest Ohio District Representative for United
States Senator Mike DeWine, and Fred Eldridge, Fulton County
Economic Development Director Economic Development Status |
Lisa Arend, Assistant Economic Development Director was present
for the discussion as well.
Ms. Miller wanted to get in touch with the county once hearing
of the ConAgra plant closing in Archbold. She indicated Senator
DeWine wanted to know if there is anything his office can do
either to help change the closing or once the plant closes.
Mr. Eldridge stated his office has met with ConAgra and was
informed of the closing of the manufacturing plant at the end of
the year. He said they are working with their human resources
department as well as the marketing of the facility. They have
not heard anything back from them but meetings are scheduled.
Staying in touch and being aware of what they want to accomplish
is where the ED is at.
Commissioner Graf said that he heard a question if the people
that made the decision at the ConAgra headquarters were aware of
the Archbold wastewater treatment plant expansion being done
with them in mind. Mr. Eldridge was that someone had to be aware
but if it was a consideration no one seems to know.
Ms. Miller presented information on a water program that could
be made available that might assist and that she had spoken with
Dennis Howell regarding that.
Ms. Arend said that she was aware that ConAgra was waiting on a
tax incentive package to be presented from Texas and that if
Archbold were to know the particulars they might be able to
counter-offer.
Commissioner Graf asked if they were closing down the warehouse
as well. Mr. Eldridge said that his impression is that they are
closing everything.
Commissioner Graf asked Ms. Miller what she is hearing about
what is Ohio's problem. Ms. Miller said not much, but it seems
that there are no answers given by corporations as to what the
issues are when this happens. Mr. Eldridge said that energy
prices and tax programs in the state are not condusive to
attracting and keeping businesses.
Ms. Miller said that she really wanted to hear from the county
and offer help in any way they can.
Commissioner Genter asked if the ED has checked into prior
agreements made with ConAgra. Mr. Eldridge said their department
is reviewing language in those agreements as what financial
responsibilities might fall back on ConAgra.
Commissioner Graf asked if anyone had enough history on the CAT
tax and what effect it is having on businesses. Mr. Eldridge
said he does not have enough history as it is a 7-year
phase-out. Lisa Arend also commented that a lot of them are just
putting figures together and trying to figure out how it will
impact them.
Commissioner Graf stated that Senator DeWine has been really
good to Fulton County. Ms. Miller said this the start of a
strenuous time for the Senator with the upcoming election. She
asked that she be kept informed of the events as they unfold in
this difficult situation.
Commissioner Genter stressed the importance of these companies
paying back what they were abated if they up and move out. All
over the country jobs are being lost.
Commissioner Graf thanked Ms. Miller for coming in. She
expressed appreciation for the Commissioners taking the time to
meet with her.
