Cabaniss - Absent Alma H. Holston - Aye C. E. Boyd, Jr. - Aye Glen K. Aust - Aye LOAN Mr. B. C. Wampler, President of Pulaski Furniture Corp., addressed REQUEST Pulaski Furniture Council regarding the request for loan they have made from the Town and County to renovate the facilities formerly owned by Coleman Furniture. He further stated this was a business loan that would be repaid with interest. This loan will add a considerable amount to the tax base of the Town and County. The loan shows that after we consider some loss of interest that it would result in a net savings to the Town in excess of $450,000. They plan to start production in early Spring of 1984. 300 people are expected to be employed in early 1984 and by the end of 1984, this employment should exceed 400 people. Based on economy, this employment figure should go higher. Mr. Wampler requested an enthusiastic, cooperative effort and if this, in Council's judgment, is not possible, he requested Council not to make the loan. Mr. Wampler further stated the Board of Supervisors passed the Resolution. He further requested action on this matter as soon as possible. Mr. Wampler stated a committment was necessary for them to proceed, and that Pulaski Furniture's financial status is very sound. Mr. Wampler advised there would be a guarantee on this loan; Council would draw up a contract with them with certain stipulations to protect the Town's money, and if at anytime, they violate those conditions of contract, the loan could be called immediately. Their auditors are Ernst & Whinney. Mr. Moore stated at this point he had not been able to get around both the State Constitution and charter provision on an outright loan basis. Councilman Graham suggested Council work through our Parking Authority on a purchase/lease agreement with Pulaski Furniture. Mr. McKeever advised that we had looked at the Economic Stimulus Grant as PUBLIC HEARING ECONOMIC STIMULUS GRANT a possible alternative to the loan. This grant is similar to the Urban Develop- ment Action Grant in that the money being sought has to be directed toward the creation of jobs. This money becomes available following the receipt of the $557,500 Community Development Grant for Cool Springs. The Town originally requested $700,000 but was only awarded $557,500 and $142,500 in grant money is still available. Forms should be submitted immediately and it would proba- bly be mid November before we have an answer. Mr. McKeever further stated if we found it was legal to provide the money to the Parking Authority, it would be the Staff's recommendation that we try to receive this Grant of $142,500 and then supplement it with whatever Town money that was necessary. Mayor Ratcliffe stated we would try to work through the Parking Authority on this matter. Mr. McKeever advised that it was a requirement of the Grant that the Town hold a deed, or a temporary deed, to some of the property. Mayor Ratcliffe advised this was the time and place for a public hearing on the Economic Stimulus Grant for rehabilitation of the Coleman Furniture Plant. A public hearing must be held to obtain the views of citizens on community dev- elopment, economic development and housing needs and provide citizens an adequate opportunity to participate in the development of the application.

The Town Zoning Ordinance MOBILE xequires the lot to have a 10,000 sq. ft. area. The lot was sub-divided prior to HOME APPLICA. the adoption of the zoning ordinance.

Mr. McKeever advised this project would cost approximately $60,000 to $70,000 to provide water to the area. It is hopeful that Community Development money from projects could be used. Mayor Ratcliffe advised that water had been put into the area through a Block Grant for this purpose. We have a one mile radius around Town where we try and serve water. We have to have outside assistance before we could put water into the area. Mr. McKeever advised if we do have monies left over from the Cool Springs project, it must be returned and not applied to another project. Mr. McKeever will turn this matter back over to the Engineering Depart- ment to have them rework their cost figures since some lines are already in this area. I~ n Mayor Ratcliffe stated there was a possibility the County would help WM. MCMILLAN PROPERTY 14 6th Street them. Mr. William McMillan appeared before Council to show cause why his building at 14 6th St. should not be condemned and ordered destroyed. Mr. McMillan stated the nuisance has been corrected to the best of his ability and he is continuing to work on the building. His plans are to convert the building into apartments, moving into the first apartment himself. Mr. Adair Hall, contractor, has also been working on this structure. Messrs. Moore, Johnston, Graham and Mayor Ratcliffe have toured this building and to them it was sound and dry. Mayor Ratcliffe further stated that plans should be made to get the windows back in and painted to be more attractive. Mr. Gary Hancock, Mr. Charles Bushong, Mrs. MacGill and Mrs. Hickam appeared before Council, stating this building is a nuisance, a health ha- zard and a safety hazard. They do not believe this building is restorable. Mr. Ronnie Powers, contractor, stated in his estimation it would cost approxi- September 27, 1983 ~~~~ mately $170,000 to renovate this building according to the code. Mr. Moore stated that when Mr. McMillan starts working on the inside of the building, he has to come to the Town and submit a plan and show what he plans to do. The Building Inspector and Engineer will review this to determine whether a building permit will be issued. Mr. Macy, Building Inspector, will make periodic checks to see how things are being done. Mr. Moore further stated we were dealing with two different points; one is whether it is a nuisance (health or fire, and whether the Health Department would pass it) and if it is not occupied, then if he does what he has done, clean all the weeds up, new coping around, paint,. removing dangerous items. Mr. McMillan is not expected to keep this building so that everyone's children can stay away. This is the responsibility of a parent. He must submit a plan to go forward with his plans. Mr. McMillan can close this building up and secure it so there will be no health hazard and it can sit there until it is to be occupied or developed. Mr. Dan Bell, realtor, stated that any structure of this sort in a residential area has to be a factor in the eyes of the buying public. Property buyers decline to buy in this area basically due to this structure. Representatives of 6th Street area and Mr. Bell requested a time limit be set on this property as to when it would be brought up to standard. Mr. McMillan will meet with Town Manager and Town Engineer to review his plans and if they are acceptable, they will be brought back to Council.
