He proposes extending the old Doerr Lane out to IH 35 and would like Council consideration of giving them the old cut-back through the area in order for them to have one undivided piece of property. Mr. Naylor then yielded the rest of his time to Mr. Weatherhead and Mr. Will of Austin Company out of Cleveland, who have a client very interested in opening a plant in this area. The client wishes to locate a metal works manufacturing plant, initially employing 70 people (about 65 of which would be llired locally) with an additional 40 office employees being added later. The following are some of the problems they need help with: (1) their concern for water, primarily for fire protection, was answered by the City awarding the bid for the new storage tank and line (2) sewer facilities - not only availability but the approximate cost to them (3) the load limitation on the new FM 3009 is way too low for their clients needs and they solicite the Council's cooperation in securing a waiver from the state. (4) availability 'of the tax moratorium. The majority of the Councilmembers were in favor of granting the tax moratorium if it could be done tract by tract. Mayor Bueker would get the attorney's opinion and meet with Mr. Weather= head and Mr. Wills the next day. 254 g g, '\ ~ t QCJ.1 qO.15 #6 Pay Plan, Job Description and Job Classification System.
