CODE BOARD ACTION
2 of 3
Ms. Phillips explained that Sheffield Environmental Services might be unable to supply all the necessary
documentation before the deadline at 5 p.m. on March 26, 2001. So they are anticipating rolling the
grant over from the Federal Fiscal Year 2000 into 2001. She stated if the application is received before
April 3, 2001 there is a very good chance it will be funded immediately after the deadline. In that case,
she would need the authorization of the Citizens Advisory Task Force in order for the City to submit
another application.
Floor was opened for discussion.
Member Worley asked a question pertaining to the number of jobs that would be created and Member
Sweda asked about the low -to -moderate income classification.
Some concerns were mentioned as to traffic problems. Member Worley stated he felt the City should
require the developer to make the improvements necessary to handle the extra traffic created. Member
Worley also stated he was not convinced that the City's Industrial Park was the right location for this
type of facility because of possible odors or pollutants.
Member Nelson asked about other possible locations for the facility. Member Worley asked if the
material being transported is considered hazardous waste material. Member Sweda asked about the
process that would be used to treat the waste material.
Member Worley moved to give the City authorization to submit the grant application for the Federal
Fiscal Year 2001, seconded by Member O'Connor.
