DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT BEING PURCHASED Cincinnati Milacron Roboshot 250R, Mfg. 1999 500 ton Cincinnati Milacron Related equipment and other manufacturing equipment K3106:3124:38226:1 :JEFFERSONVILLE ADVISORY REVIEW BY THE DEPARTMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT KELLEMS & COE TOOL CORPORATION SEPTEMBER 21,2004 1. All information as required in 37.01 (B) (1) - (12) has been submitted. 2. All requirements of Jeffersonville's Tax Abatement Policy have been met. 3. Kellems & Coe is in the Inter City Road TIF. 4. Kellems & Coe is in an Economic Revitalization Area. 5. Kellems & Coe is not in an Economic Development Target Area. (a) And (b) The nature of the equipment was not described in detail. However, there is a statement that no equipment was being replaced and the added number of new jobs is a modest four. It seems reasonable that four new jobs would be created. Further, I have had a frank conversation with Spencer Harmon, Kellems & Coe's attorney explaining that Jeffersonville's Common Council and Redevelopment Department now does a careful review of promises made in forms SB -1 each year and the importance that overly optimistic numbers not be used. The SB-1 indicates the four new salaries will be $32,180.00 each. The form lists current Salaries of $1,956,817 with 44 employees indicating an average of $44,677.00; it therefore seems reasonable that the new jobs would average the $32,180.00. 6c. The amount of abatement per job created would be $2,214 or an average of $440.00 per year over the five-year period. The total amount of abatement would be $5,409. Recommendation Kellems & Coe's 2004 CF-1 for previous abatements has real property investment $200,000.00 over the goal of their original request and personal property investment $1,179,000.00 over goal. The four new hires will bring them only to the point they stated they were at in their 2004 CF-1 filing. The Department of Redevelopment recommends approval of five-year abatement.
