Mr. Wilson stated he had taken the cash figure and placed it into the 2015 -16 budget reasoning the assumption of the next two months income and payouts and bond payment of about $20,000.00, and Potters' payment will wash between now and the end of September, but that was the figure he came up with of $2,030,321.00, then tax revenue was running 116 to $110,000.00 per month he stated he had put that in as tax revenue of one million three. Mr. Wilson stated he then took $76,900.00 of the budget that had just been reviewed and stated that was the estimated expenditures and the 838 was under there and had changed to 938 making the total budget $1,315,470.00.

Mr. Wilson and Mr. Turner agreed there would be two more years of bond payments. Mr. Wilson stated the reserves would still be available if the total projected was spent.

The motion was seconded by Ray Banks. The Motion carried with none opposed. Discuss and possibly take action on Northeast Texas Work Force Development Grant Funding Mr. Banks asked if the funds would go to pay an instructor from Mt. Pleasant. Dr. Anglin responded no. Mr. Manning turned the floor to Randy Reed the Executive Director Workforce Solutions of Northeast Texas. Mr. Reed stated he operates under a contract from Texas Workforce Commission. Mr. Reed went on to say about nine months ago TWC had applied for a matching funds grant for projects for high demand job training. Mr. Reed stated the original amount was $75,000.00, but with participation of Mt. Pleasant, and Sulphur Springs EDCs, the total matching fund request for Paris Economic Development Corporation would be $25,000.00. Mr. Reed stated the contract required a Memorandum of Understanding for CNC training. The equipment would be purchased through PJC and would become part of the curriculum the same as with NTCC in Mt. Pleasant and PJC in Sulphur Springs. Mr. Manning asked if the training would take place at PJC. Dr. Anglin pointed out an error in the MOU which stated that NTCC would provide the instructor, but it should state PJC would provide the instructor. Mr. Banks thanked Dr. Anglin for her input. Dr. Anglin went on to say PJC has ordered the required equipment for training the week before and when received it will be placed in the Workforce Training Center and through the grant PJC has agreed to train a certain number of machinists to work in this area. Dr. Anglin further stated she has spoken with Corey Campbell with Aequs. Dr. Anglin explained the equipment purchases would be for campuses in Paris, Mt. Pleasant, and Sulphur Springs. Dr. Anglin clarified there would be three sets of trainees, and there would be a different type of equipment in Mt. Pleasant, but PJC would complete the CNC training. Ray Banks stated his concern the students may have to travel. Dr. Anglin stated that no they would not because PJC has a mill here and intends to purchase a lathe, and copy the arrangement in Sulphur Springs. Mr. Manning and Mr. Reed discussed the delay in executing the contract. Mr. Turner clarified Mr. Reed was requesting an amount of $25000.00 to train 15 to 20 people to use the equipment purchased. Dr. Anglin clarified this was the second grant request for $25,000.00 for training. Mr. Reed stated he is in the process of requesting the funds from the other EDCs. Dr. Anglin stated she will use the funds for the purchase of the lathe. Mr. Turner asked the life expectancy of the equipment. Mr. Wilson stated the programming would need to be changed, therefore, the upgrade would be minimal, so the equipment would last approximately 25 years. Dr. Anglin stated Industry sometimes bequeaths machinery for training. Mr. Manning asked how the trainees would be trained. Dr. Anglin stated the training would coincide with local industry requirements. Mr. Brockman asked if any other EDCs had committed to the second round of the grant. Mr. Reed advised affirmative. Mr. Manning stated it would pay for itself in the future. Mr. Turner made a motion to fund the grant for $25,000.00. The motion was seconded by John Brockman. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Talley stated that they would have to pull a permit and at that time they would be told what problems needed to be addressed. The main point of getting it repaired is to get it in the dry. Matthew Allen stated that he was under the impression that bee keepers would come and extract the bees at no cost to the owner. He wondered if the size of the honey comb was the issue.

Robert Talley stated that he would go look at it. Dale Maberry stated that they had cleaned up the outside of the property; he didn't think it was rented at this time or that it would ever be rented. However the owners had done what they were asked to do. Ken Kohls asked about the status of the building at the fertilizer plant. Mr. Talley stated that it has been demolished. Charles Richards asked about the difference in the amount charged for a civil penalty and a criminal penalty. Stephanie Harris stated that a civil penalty is for not following an order from the commission, a criminal penalty is a health and safety violation so it carries a higher fee. Sally McEwin asked for a ballpark figure on the number of house left to be demolished. Mr. Talley stated that he believes it is around 50. Ken Kohls asked what Mr. Talley thought the cost of the demolition of item 3B would cost since the city is charged $44 per ton. Mr. Talley stated that the house and the shed would probably cost around $2000.00. Matthew Allen asked Mr. Talley if in his experience it would be cheaper for the owner to let the city demolish the house. Mr. Talley stated that with the discounts the city is receiving right now that it would be cheaper. Mr. Norris asked if the other members wanted to continue to receive the full packets. Mr. Vaughan stated that for himself, he didn't need it. Mr. Kohl's asked Mrs. Harris about her statement at last month's meeting in regards to going and viewing the properties on the BSC agenda. Mrs. Harris explained that in her opinion it would be best to not go view the properties before the meeting. The commission acts as a quasi-judicial board and they need to be objective and not have set opinions before the property comes before the commission. Mr. Kohl's stated that he saw no need in getting the appraisal district sheets or the pictures if that was the case. It was decided that Mr. Talley would only put the agenda, the code enforcement update and every 3 months the code enforcement spreadsheet in the packets. Sally McEwin asked Mr. Talley if he felt the actions of this group helped him in his job. Mr. Talley stated that yes it did. Dale Maberry spoke in regards to the back taxes owed only a certain percentage went to the city. The local school districts, Paris Junior College received a percentage as well. He believes it's only about 30% that goes to the city. 5. Adjournment Motion was made by Matthew Allen, seconded by Sally McEwin to adjourn the meeting at 4:20pm.
