Director Moore answered that half the property would go to the abutting property owner; the other half would go to the City. An agreement would have to be reached between the two to create a buildable lot. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes. Manager Mullis stated the request is from Ogle/Sheehy Partner- ship for $912,000 of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for the purposes of constructing an office/manufacturing building on 16th Ave. and Highway 55. This is the first time the City has considered a request where the building would be leased to some- one other than the partners requesting the findncing and owning the building. Mayor Davenport stated the request is unique in that the tennant and petitioner are not one and the same, or even affiliated. The City's current policy should be addressed by the Council as It would have to be amended to accommodate the request. He asked to be assured that the benefits of IDB financing are truly Passed on to the tennant and not the partners. He also asked the duration of the lease stating it should be the same as the term of the bonds. Mayor Davenport opened the public hearing at 7t45 p.m. Mark Senn, representing Ogle/Sheehy, stated the request is to Z3nnruct a 27,000 square foot facility solely for Exotic Rubber and Plastics. The reason the appiLcant is not the tennant is that the tennant is undertaking a very aggressive expansion. In doing so, the tennant needs tv expand the operation and facili- ty and has made the decision that he would like Mr. Ogle to develop the building for him and lease It back on a long term basis. The tennant will be the full beneficiary of the lower Loterest rates. The intention is that the lease term be the same as the period of amortization of the bonds. They have found funds from another jurisdiction and will not have to go to the state pool for monies. The tennant will be increasing his staff from the current 20 to 45 in the next three years with this expansion. The hearing was closed at 703 p.m. Discussion foilowed on the petitioner's equity participation and the fact that this was not a speculative venture.

Mayor Davenport opened the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. No one chose to speak and the hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. Manager Willis stated that fire station III will cost approxi- mately twice as much as the previously anticipated $400,000. The Council agreed to discuss this matter further during budget study sessions and capital improvement program meetings. Manap4r Willis summarized the 1986 proposed budget stating that In 1986 property taxes will make up 68% of the overall revenue.

Mayor Davenport explained why a growing community such as Plymouth requires greater service levels including police, streets, etC. Which means higher taxes. He explained the Impact of fiscal disparities and levy limitations. Discussion followed on the impact of fiscal disparities, the proposed mill rate as it reflects the infrastructure replacement and a lost lar suit, and the fact that the City cannot atop development, only control it.
