Ms. Bush presented Benefits and related information. like to discuss this at the next ? the Council with a Statement of Council President Williams would workshop and bring it back up at the next Council meeting on October 7, as the Council does not have a policy in place. Councilperson Wilder is not aware these requests would be turned away before the policy is in place.

PAGE 3 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Mr. Bob Lanum, Attorney representing P.G.P., Inc., d/b/a Voss ClaFk, presented a Statement of Benefits requesting a tax abatement for an addition to what was approved in February. Mr. Joe Major, General Manager of the Plant explained the average wage and benefits. Following all discussion, Council President Williams made the motion to table the request to vote on October 7, seconded by unanimously. Mayor Galligan introduced Mr. Boat. Mr. Herde expressed regrets from be discussed at the workshop for a Councilperson Ellis, and carried Gene Herde, representing Jeff Mr. Bob Greene who is not able to be at this meeting as he is out of the country. Mr. Herde explained they are here tonight, as requested, regarding the painting process. Mr. Herde gave a review of the history of the operation saying it has been a shipyard for 162 years, ans is the oldest active citizen of Jeffersonville. He further reviewed the number of employees and the number that live in Indiana. Production is sold out through 1997. He then reviewed the taxes that are paid. Jeff Boat takes serious their position in the community. This is an extremely competitive market. Being conscientious of the air quality Jeff Boat has moved from solvent to water base in their pre-construction primer operation. This has taken a while to develop. An IDEM inspection on August 22, resulted in a clean bill of health for Jeff Boat. A copy of this report has been made available to the City Attorney. Jeff Boat is also complying with E.P.A. regulations. The bad news is that PAGE 4 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Jeff Boat is competing with companies that do not have to comply with the same regulations they do. The City Attorney has asked they respond to some questions and they are happy to do that. The first question is how many cars has Jeff Boat had to buff or repaint? Jeff Boat has not had to do any, however have voluntarily in 1995 reimbursed the cost of cleaning 29 autos, and so far this year has done the same thing for 71 autos. This has been done as Jeff Boat desires to be a good citizen in the community. In addition some of the employees have received assistance. This past Saturday a contractor was spraying the cranes and they will be responsible to clean the vehicles that were affected. The second question was, how many official citations has Jeff Boat had? Mr. Herde is proud to say they haven't had any. Mr. Herde then introduced Mr. Dan Irby, Vice President of Production and Mr. Bob Herre, Vice President of Engineering. Mr. Irby explained Jeff Boat is running a very complicated industrial process, a very large scale assembly line, dealing with several hundred ton steel modules that are moved daily. They are tying to improve conventional methods that have been used for the application of paint. Considerable research has been done on various alternative methods. They have contacted vendors, various shipyards and various other sources. A fast dry paint did not provide satisfactory performance. A variety of ways of containing the painting operation (buildings, shelters, covers, etc.) have been looked into. All those looked into interfered with the barge building operation. As many as four barges are launced in a day. An aerial view of the operation was provided and explained. Testing is being PAGE 5 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 done on a "spider E tank", which Mr. Irby explained. GrayCo, one of the largest paint applicator manufacturers, has presented an electro-static system that would reduce plaint loss by 70%. Four of these spray guns have been purchased and training is being done. Mr. Herre explained how this system works. When the safety equipment arrives they will begin using this system. The majority of the painting will be done with this system. The pre-construction painting will be done in the booth. Mr. Herde, in summary, explained Jeff Boat intends to continue in this area to, construct vessels, provide employement, and has no plans to move. The Council is asked to remember they are under grave constraints and they have to find solutions that work to provide vessels that are competitive in price and quality. Jeff Boat intends to continue to be a good citizen. Councilperson Perkins asked if they are aware of local Ordinances having to do with spraypainting processes. Mr. Herde is not aware of any regulations on spray painting. He is aware of zoning ordinances. He reminds the Council Jeff Boat has been around longer than any of the ordinances. This has nothing to do with Jeff Boat's desire to be a good citizen to the community. Councilperson Perkins asks if he is saying Jeff Boat does not have to be accountable to those ordinances? Mr. Herde explained that is not what he has said. He has said Jeff Boat will continue to be a good citizen and to look after what problems are created. Councilperson residents suffering can expect relief. be a dramatic change very very shortly. Ellis asked how soon the Mr. Herde expects there should Councilperson Ellis explained PAGE 6 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 they have been told very very shortly before and it has been quite a while. Mr. Herde explained this is a complex process. Three years and a great deal of money went into the water base process. The same enthusiam will be given to this process. Councilperson Perkins asked what answers can he give to his constituents that complain about Jeff Boat. Mr. Herde would hope those concerns would be taken to Jeff Boat directly. Many have been addressed in the past. Councllperson Frantz asked if IDEM notified Jeff Boat prior to an inspection. Mr. Herde answered "not always". Councilperson Frantz asked why a curtain will not work. Mr. Irby explained the system saying it uses a water mist which would not work during freezing weather. Mr. Herde said it may be necessary to get IDEM approval for the spider box operation. Councllperson Wilson asked if there is a scheduled time for painting and if it could not be done during windy weather. Mr. Herde said this is a mass production line and if one step is stopped it stops all steps. They do try not to paint during extreme weather. Councllperson Perkins asked if he is saying that economics dictate when spraying is done. Mr. Irby said production schedule dictates and there is a limit to Attorney Sedwick if provided. Attorney Perkins asks if Jeff Boat should be held under other repair shops such as Mid-City Collision. there is nothing in the zoning code, however what can be done. Councllperson Perkins asked all information requested in the letter has been Sedwick answered yes, orally. Councilperson lesser standards than Attorney Sedwick said she can tell him what PAGE 7 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Jeff Boat's argument would be that Mayor Galligan asked if Jeff Boat building on the river, paint the they were in place before the code. had thought of building a floating bottom, launch them and finish the painting in the floating building where the air could be controlled. Mr. Irby said they have thought of a dry dock, but not that particular process. Mr. Irby said they will consider any idea. Mayor Galligan said all he is trying to do is help the residents, but also trying to help Jeff Boat as he does not want to lose Jeff Boat, but does not need irate residents. The cost of the new system will be $30,000 and the maintenance cost will be high. Ms. Jerry McDonough has contacted Ms. Julius of Jeff Boat to complain of problems and was told she would be contacted and still has had nothing done. Mr. Irby said she will be called tomorrow morning. Mr. Mike Hutt guesses he is one of the irate citizens. Mr. Hurt was told by IDEM that Jeff Boat's permit expired when they shut down. He understands they had to apply for a new permit when they reopened and have to reapply every four years. He therefore does not see how the argument of being there before the code could apply. Attorney Sedwlck explained when she was talking about grandfathering she was talking about local ordinances, not state. Mr. Hutt asks how many gallons are sprayed a week. The representatives did not know. Mr. Hurt reviewed the situation with the contractor painting the cranes, saying when they realized the problem they stopped spray painting and used brushes and rollers and offered to correct the damage to the cars. Mr. Hutt has heard over and over for eight and PAGE 8 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 one half years getting worse. A.M., 2:30 P.M. how Jeff Boat wants to be a good neighbor, and it is This past Sunday he explained he smelled paint at 9 and 6:30 P.M. He has paint all over everything. He has a swimming pool he has had to unplug because he cannot cannot open the windows in his house. Mr. Hutt says Jeff unwilling to spend the money to solve the problems correctly. not believe four new guns will be enough. Councilperson Conlin asked if Jeff Boat has an use it. He Boat is He does omnibuds person. Mr. Herde said these type of problems are handled through the risk management department and there is one person assigned to that. Councilperson Perkins and Attorney Sedwick further discussed the situation where Jeff Boat was here first. Councilperson Perkins cited areas that were legal until recently. Attorney Sedwick said this situation is not criminal. Councilperson Perkins feels people could take issue as to whether it is criminal or not. His point is if laws are not being obeyed there is a need to enforce the laws we have. Councilperson Perkins feels some years ago Jeff Boat was shut down due to labor problem. It was stated there was no new construction, however repair work continued requested by the Council to have workshop. Councilperson Perkins to is throughout the time period. It is an executive session before the next stated some of the things he is going say may get them into litigation, therefore the executive session Justified. Mr. Herre extends an invitation to the Council to come and look at the operation. MS. and only the Councilperson Perkins moved to adjourn at 8:20 seconded by Council President Williams passing unanimously. PAGE 9 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Jerry McDonough has lived in the same home for 25 years last two or three years has there been a problem. P.M., Mayor Galligan called the meeting back to order at 8:38 P.M. Councilperson Perkins would offer a motion to the Council that Jeff Boat is not exempt from any laws that would apply to anybody that spray paints in the City of Jeffersonvltle. They should have to comply with the ordinance as written, or be fined $2,500 per day that they are not in compliance. Councilperson Ellis seconds the motion which passed unanimously. Pastor Ray Young of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, located at Walnut & Chestnut Street Pastor Young has been in operation November and has seen that repairs $20,000 have been done to the building. disrepair and still has much to be done. live in the building. Pastor Young appeared before the Council. at this location since last totaling between $15,000 and The building was in massive The Pastor and his family do explained this is not a conventional urban Church but does cater to disfunctional people. The success rate is between 25% and 50%. The goal is to create a comprehensive resource center. He is working with Building Commissioner Gavin and Fire Inspector Miles to bring the building into compliance. He would like to set up a time that the Council can come and see what is going on. Multiple ministries do share the building. The ownership and contract on the building was explained. Pastor PAGE 10 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Young is asking the Mayor and Council for help in finding people to share in the vision and perhaps pledge funds each month. The goal is to find 300 people to give $10 a month. Rev. L. Eugene Vaughn, Pastor Diarea Gospel Ministries, Inc. spoke in support of the project. He asks the Council to look at the proposal, asking for their blessings and help. Rev. Nathaniel Witherspoon also spoke in support of the project adding it would be a valuable asset to the community. Each Councilperson will contact Pastor Young to set up a time to visit the community. Attorney Sedwick presented Resolution No. 96-R-34, A Resolution To Enter Into Agreement For Water Main Extension to Hoskins Lane. Councilperson Wilson made the motion to pass Resolution No. 96-R-34, seconded by Councilperson Conlin, passing unanimously. Attorney Sedwick introduced Ordinance No. 96-OR-65, An Ordinance Establishing Fees For The Cost Of Response By The Jeffersonville-Clarksville Hazardous Materials Group. This has been adopted by Clarksvllle. Following a discussion regarding the collection of fees, Councilperson Perkins made the motion to suspend the rules, seconded by Council President Williams, passing unanimously. Councllperson Perkins made the motion to pass Ordinance No. 96-OR-96 on all three readings, seconded by Councllperson Ellis, passing unanimously. PAGE 11 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Mayor Galligan introduced and explained 96-OR-66, An Ordinance Amending Certain Portions Of Ordinance No. 95-OR-25 (Salary OR -Sewer Department). Ordinance No. Section 1 Of Councilperson rules, seconded by Council Councilperson Perkins then 96-OR-66 on all three readings, passing on the following roll Perkins made the motion to suspend the President Williams, passing unanimously. made the motion to pass Ordinance No. seconded by Council President Williams, call vote: Ayes: Councilpersons Perkins, Ellis, and Conlin. Nays: None. Frantz, Wilder, Wilson, Clerk and Treasurer Spencer explained Ordinance NO. 96-OR-67, An Ordinance Transferring Certain Funds Within Same Department (Common Council). Councilperson Conlin made the motion to suspend the rules for Ordinance No. 96-OR-67, seconded by Council President Williams, passing unanimously. Councilperson Conlin then made the motion to pass Ordinance No. 96-OR-67 on all three readings, seconded by Council President Williams, Attorney Sedwick presented Ordinance Amending Sewer Tap Fees, Manager of the Wastewater Treatment this Ordinance would increase the (single family) lot, parcel of real passing unanimously. Ordinance No. 96-OR-68, An introducing Kendall Coleman, Plant. Manager Coleman explained tap-in fee for each residential estate, or building that hereafter connects with the City's sewer system. He gave examples of these fees in some of the surrounding communities, saying this would bring PAGE 12 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Jeffersonvllle to a comparable rate. It is known there will be a shortfall in funds as it is known there are a number of capital improvement projects that need to be done. It is not felt that the residents that have been paying for the new plant and the bond issue should have to suffer in the future. It is hoped that sewer rates can remain stable. Councilperson Conlin has been contacted by several builders who are asking that the increase be made over several years. Manager Colman stated the areas are in need of reapair saying the funds are needed now and they are not there. The improvement fund now has $1.3 in the fund with $30,000 added monthly. This is not enough to fund what is necessary and it will be necessary eventually to raise the sewer rates. All fees for individual and commercial will be based on national average. Councilperson Wilder is not in favor of raising the tap fees to this level as it is drastic. She does agree with higher rates for those outside the city limits. When talking about expanding she does not feel taxpayers and homeowners should have to accomodate business outside the city limit that will be discharging into the system when the Council does not agree, such as Louisville Barrel. This would be an additional hardship on new homeowners. She does not feel new homeowners should have to pay for the problems such as on 8th Street especially the way the property tax system is set up. Manager Coleman stated most of the new home development is served by 8th Street as it is the main trunk line. Councllperson Wilder is not PAGE 13 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 in favor of development that does not take care of itself, and she is completely in favor of the storm water plan. Her first and foremost issue is the storm water issue. Manager Coleman agrees storm water is important. Jeffersonvllle is cheaper than Clarksvllle and Oak Park. The question was asked what the average cost of each new home coming on the line would be. Manager Coleman does not have it tonight. He did state an example of one development and the number of pump stations that are used. Mayor Galligan understands where the builders are coming from but when he goes to workshops and hears of what is going to be mandated, there needs to be funds available or a bond issue will be necessary or a rate increase. Jeffersonvllle is trying to be prepared, and be fair. Builder Alan Schuler is trying to find out what it really costs when a new customer is added to the sewer system. He developed some numbers, called the Mayor three times to try and get some feedback. He feels the argument that everyone else is doing it is not right. He feels the other communities in this area are overcharging. The question is what affect it will have on affordabllity. This does need to be considered. He asks to meet and see numbers. He questions if the 8th Street problem is a problem for the new homeowner or all on the system. He asks for time to look at this in a judicial manner. There are legal issues here. The developer has already paid for the lines. Councilperson Perkins asks how the monthly rates compare with other communities. Manager Coleman does not have these with him tonight but does have them and will make them available. Councilperson Perkins feels that a lot of people in PAGE 14 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 Jeffersonvllle have paid and still are paying for infrastructure improvements in Jeffersonville. Some pieces of property have paid into the sinking fund for 50 years. In his mind the tap in increase is Justified. The intent is not to slow development but to buy equity into the system. There is a need to protect infrastructure. Councllperson Wilder feels most of the people buying the new homes are moving older homes from within the system and would have equity in the system. Mayor Galligan asked how much it would cost to install a spectic system. This would cost between $3,500 and S12,000. Manager Goldman stated if a house is down for more than six months, they do have to pay a tap in fee. Tap in fees do go into the Improvement Fund. Builder Schular asked for time to sit down and talk about this. Councilperson Wilder made the motion to table Ordinance No. 96-OR-68, seconded by Councilperson Frantz, passing on the following roll call vote: Ayes: Nays: Councilpersons Frantz, Wilder, Wilson, and Conlin. Councllpersons Perkins, Ellis, and Williams. Attorney Sedwick introduced and explained Resolution No. 96-R-35, A Resolution Referring Proposal To Amend Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Gavin noted the City has adopted the State Code which includes bathrooms. Councilperson Perkins has asked Attorney Sedwick PAGE 15 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 to look into this as he is getting a lot of pressure from the people in his district. Following all discussion, Councilperson Perkins made the motion to pass Resolution No. 96-R-35, seconded by Councilperson Conlin, passing unanimously. Councllperson Conlin announced the new aerial truck has been delivered and it is a nice apartus. Councilperson Conlln noted four law enforcement officers from the area rode bicycles from Niles, Michigan to Jeffersonville, Indiana, riding 100 miles a day. Officer Joe Grant represented the Jeffersonvllle Police Department in this ride to promote drug awareness. She attented a reception at River Valley School foe these Officers which was very emotional. Councllperson Conlin is very proud of both the Fire and Police Department and Firefighter Schnatter. Councilperson Wilson asked if any other Councilpersons were interested in attending the National League of Cities conference in San Antonio December 10 and 11. The Mayor's secretary will be making reservations and there is a need to know how many will be attending. Councilperson Frantz had distributed a Resolution at the last meeting to be considered tonight. As this is not on the agenda, she distributed a second copy and asks for a vote. Councllperson Frantz then read Resolution No. 96-R-36, A Resolution Of Intent To Reinstate Two Position Of Employment To Ordinance No. 96-OR-53, And Ordinance No. 96-OR-55 For 1997. Councllperson Frantz then made the motion to pass Resolution No. 96-R-36. Councilperson Wilder commented she had originally voted in favor of eliminating the two PAGE 16 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 positions. She has given this a great deal of thought and feels her actions were as a result of problems she has had personally with the Clerk Treasurer's Office. She does not blame the employees of the Clerk Treasurer's Office. There may be too many employees in the Clerk Treasurer's Office, but it is a close call depending on who you ask. Her problem does not come from those employees and she is not going to take it out on those employees. When the time comes to vote on the elected officials salary ordinance she will let the Council know how she feels about what happpened with a request for information from the office. She will not take it out on the employees how she feels personally. She does not feel she can vote until it is given a fair evaluation. Councilperson Wilder then seconded the motion to pass Resolution No. 96-R-36. Councilpersons Frantz, Wilson, and Wilder voted to pass Resolution No. 96-R-36, Councilpersons Perkins, Williams, and Conlin voted no, Councilperson Ellis abstained. Mayor Galligan voted no, therefore Resolution No. 96-R-36 did not pass. Councilperson Wilder wishes to make a statement about a development that has been discussed. Many of these discussions have focused around the City of Jeffersonville. The City has gotten involved at some point, at least perception wise in Con Agra, better known as Swift Progessing Plant, or the hog farm. She wishes to make her position clear that she does not support the relocation of Con Agra to Clark County. She does not believe it is the City of Jeffersonvllle's responsibility to promote and bring Con Agra into the community. She would question the City's involvement with Con Agra. She wonders if Clark County is going to continue to open the door to PAGE 17 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 every business that Kentucky doesn't want. She does not want to. This is not a desireable company that will bring in desireabe Jobs. Jeff Boat cannot get employees to weld, how can this company get employees to slaughter hogs. She cannot believe that Clark County, at least perceptually should be considering another undesireable and unsavory company that cannot survive in Kentucky due to criticism by Kentucky residents. Councilperson Wilder will do nothing as a City Official to promote Con Agra to move to this community. The only action she will take are those actions as a taxpayer, as a parent, and as a homeowner, to keep Con Agra out of Clark county. Councilperson Perkins doesn't know if this issue will ever get to the City Council. He did know early on this would be a controversial subject. He is in support of the Mayor in that we don't have to accept everyone, but do need to listen to everyone. This is not going to be a City decision to make. He does know that anyone that comes to town may not know where to go, but do know to go to the Mayor's Office first. Several met and heard what they had to say. He does know if he had the choice between a computer chip company and a hog processing operation he would choose the computer chip company. All need to be given a fair hearing. He does not feel some of the criticism in the press has been fair. Councilperson Perkins has not heard from any of his constituents, nor received any letters from citizens of Jeffersonville regarding this. Councilperson Frantz believed the original deal for this plant was with I.C.I. Mayor Galligan explained he was originally invited by the County Commissioners to go to a meeting at I.C.I. He PAGE 18 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 did notify Council President Williams. Councllperson Frantz was never notified of any meetings regarding Con Agra. Councilperson Perkins happened to be in his office and he asked him to participate. Councllperson Frantz did get calls and it was embarrassing when she told these callers the City was not involved and then she reads in the City is involved. She opposses any meat processing plant paper the anywhere. Council President Williams set the workshop for September 30, 1996 at 5:00 P.M. in the Mayor's Conference Room. An executive session will start at 5:00 P.M. Builder Schuler is invited to the workshop. The statement of benefits will also be discussed. Mayor Galllgan explained County Commissioner Guthrie came to him asking him to go to Swift. He went as a common courtesy. His only goal was to bring the discussion to a point where the facts were brought up. He wants people to understand that getting plants here is not an easy Job. He, and the County Commissioners, supported the location at I.C.I. Swift came to them wanting to go out on Coopers Lane. This is how they got to him. That location is in the flood plan so they could not build there. Swift then saw the map in the Mayor's office and inquired about the property along the powder plant. All he ever wanted to do was get the facts out. Mayor Galligan went to Carroll County as he had heard they had hog farms pop up around their packing plant. Carroll County happens to be the largest hog producing County in the State and the fifth in the nation. The pig farms were there way before the packing plant. He talked with the Mayor there. He did not want to say no when it seemed it was not the PAGE 19 SEPTEMBER 23, 1996 company that was wanted. He wanted to make sure. Too many plants are lost as someone doesn't like it. Mayor Galllgan will guarantee that he is not on the take, and he has done more to help the community than he has ever done to hurt it. He is tired of people attacking his family and him and the people that work for him Just because they are local elected officials or that they are in the public eye. He will continue to work to help the community and he wants to be sure everything is fair and honest. He got involved because he is concerned about the welfare of the workers. He is only looking for the opportunity to address this. Councllperson Perkins was invited to several meetings, made helicopter trips looking at sites, and ate lunch with these people. He cannot remember the Mayor, Phil McCauley, or anyone else pushing for or against any site. Con Agra kept wanting to look again at the "Big 10" site. Councllperson Wilder is glad to help the County Commissioners, but she wants to know where they were when all the people were here about Louisville Barrel. That was their responsibility and they were not here. She makes decision based on facts and research. She is not part of the body that attended the meetings and she resents the implication that City Officials met with Con Agra. Only selected offlcals met with Con Agra. She was not notified of any meetings with Con Agra. She would like to be informed when City officials and employees are working on projects. Mayor Galligan said this will not happen again.
