Council Business <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the regular portion of the City Council meeting back to order at 8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmernber Hendriksen stated that if In-Tech can achieve the goals - great, and if they can't, <br />then they can file for an extension of pay penalties to the City. He was not inclined to make any <br />significant changes to the wage requirement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that the $7.50 per hour troubled her and she doesn't think the <br />City should be subsidizing companies and still having people live in poverty. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would like to have new businesses come into the community. With <br />inflation rates and what is happening in the industry, a lot of people "miss the boat" when they <br />do not look at the benefits, but sometimes benefits need to be cut to increase wages. The City <br />needs to stick with the policy, because it would be unfair to the other businesses that have been <br />requested to meet the guidelines. <br /> <br />Mark Nielsen stated that the opportunity to meet the goals is very strong. He explained that In- <br />Tech has been in business since 1991, and they have not yet been able to increase the amount the <br />fee of their product due to the competitiveness of their business. They understood the desire of <br />the Council to uphold the policy and will abide by that. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to authorize <br />the Mayor and City Administrator to execute certain legal documents relating to the In-Tech <br />Development. These documents are to be consistent with the intent of the project as identified in <br />the Council's original action(s) of May 11, 1999, business subsidy policy on this subject, and are <br />subject to the City Attorney's direction. In-Tech will also be required to meet a $10.00 per hour <br />wage requirement. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, <br />Anderson, and Connolly. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #1: Public Hearing and Levy of Special Assessments for the 1999 Street <br /> Maintenance Program <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 8:11 p.m. in order to <br />conduct a public hearing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec called the public hearing to order at 8:11. <br /> <br />City Council/September 28, 1999 <br /> Page 9 of 30 <br /> <br /> <br />
