APPROVAL OF MINUTES- Feb 8th minutes approved
CLAIMS AND FINANCIALS
TIF Fund claims- One Dearborn for $10,000 from three different TIF funds of equal amounts with Aurora TIF paying a penny more.
No General fund claims
Financials- Clarify Land purchase was taken out of wrong account- Hayden said the Stone property came out of General Fund in error. They sent a letter saying $111,350.57 needs to be out of other funds to complete what they decided at the last month.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Aurora Industrial Sign updates- Rate, Randall, and Deaton met with Kevin Mccord (Signarama) and Rick Craig from Craig Distributing. Craig Distributing will participate in some form with paying. Randall said they could use part of the sign on digitally to promote the businesses in the park. They are waiting on a proposal from Signarama and seeing what they will do about getting the other businesses involved. They will hope to have that by the April 12th meeting. Rahe said the County would be responsible for the main sign with Signarama handling the message board and leasing the land for it etc. Signarama can own the sign or they can just manage it. Rick Craig per Randall was glad this is moving forward finally.
Billboard updates-Table on this until the entire board is back. Deddens was to be making phone calls on that.
NEW BUSINESS:
Steve Miller - Capital Real Estate Partners- Randall said that he was to be here, but he got confused on the time. He was hired by Rack Family to market the properties. They have used several real estate people and now they are using Steve Miller. There is a vacant building with 8000 sq ft with 2 loading docks back there at the Industrial Park area. They have some of there parcels on the Zoom Prospector site. They are putting up signs one day. They decided to allow one of the signs temporarily at the corner to sell the Rack properties. It’s on the Kramer property that the DCRC just bought. Its NOT to sell that piece and Ewan wanted to be sure it was clear that it was not for the DCRC property there on the corner. DCRC decided OK for it to be there temporarily. Ewan was concerned that others might be wanting to stick signs there.
Randall will get them a list of the properties for sale and costs.
ONE DEARBORN REPORT: Duke Energy award for $10,000 - Randall said she is trying to get most of the work recommended to get it shovel ready bid to get it done. This money is not near enough to get it all done. She now knows what all is required for shovel ready. Deaton asked if they could use Whitewater Mills TIF money for West Harrison infrastructure. Ewan said NO. You could use this money to buy more property to expand the TIF district.
Ted Nagele is looking to break ground this spring on the Bright Mills project per Randall.
The old Stenger property is 80 acres for sale in the St. Leon Town’s district. It may be needed to upgrade the St. Leon sewer district.
Increase in project leads and ones that need rail. The former Tootles property which Maxwell owns is the only one that has rail access. She has one also for a site visit from someone thru REDI Cincinnati. Shortage of 45 acres and up sites. So they are looking at our area more. With the Port Discussion that will increases us.
Two owners farms in Center -Hogan township access off Wilmington Pike- a machine shop is by this. Steve Taylor Farm and another owner. Across the road from Probst Farm. Mike Clark property near it too. On rail and out of flood plain. Across the bridge by Cochran. Sewer will be a big issue. Randall will look it up after the meeting.
ATTORNEY’S REPORT- none
OTHER BUSINESS-none
The Board did Helms adieu.
ADJOURNMENT - 9:12 AM
