News-Journal from Mansfield, Ohio • 15

Tuesday, October 2, 1979 News Journal, Mansfield, O. 15 i Bond approval expected Carl H. Keen VI I By Jim Woods, CRESTLINE City Council approval is expected soon on the Issuance of $1.5 million, in industrial revenue bonds to the YMCA for construction of a 100-room lodging facility. City Nelson Garner told council Monday that he hopes to have final legislation on the bonds ready for the Oct. 15 council meeting.

Council has already entered Into a preliminary agreement with the YMCA to issue the bonds. The bonds are tax free and allow the YMCA to borrow money at a lower interest rate to finance construction. The proposed facility, which would primarily house Conrail work crews, will be constructed on 2.04 acres of land, on East Bucyrus St. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has granted the city $505,034 for purchasing and Improving the site.

The land is to be purchased by the city from Amtrak, improved with utility installments and then sold to the YMCA, which will then begin construction. As part of the project, Council approved a minor measure that allows Mayor Robert E. Hoffman to enter into a contract with the YMCA. Garner said the legislation had to be approved to comply with HUD rules. Council was also told by Hoffman that the city has absorbed three workers who were formerly paid through the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.

Hoffman said the three workers a policeman, fireman and dispatcher had to be hired because the police and fire departments are short on manpower. All three workers had been with the city two to three years, he said. After council showed some hesitancy towards talking about the proposal openly, it was suggested by Councilman Thomas Miller to adjourn into executive session. Councilman Wayne Dessenberg was opposed to the session, but it was called with a majority vote, with Dessenberg dissenting and fellow Councilman James Brewer abstaining. Under the Ohio Sunshine Law, discussion of land purchase is a permissible cause for an executive session.

The closed session, which was also attended by Beechy and Gene Heller, another Flxible official, lasted 35 minutes. Loudonville factory to Snucer James J. Stecker Former Mansfielder James J. Stecker, who would have been 61 today, died Sunday on the beach near his home in Kaliua Kona, Hawaii. Mr.

"We were fortunate to have the three persons on CETA for as long as we did," Hoffman said. He added that he had anticipated the CETA funds for the three to expire in June. Hoffman told The News Journal the combined salaries for the three persons will add between 135,000 to $40,000 to next year's budget. Revenues from the city's .50 percent income tax increase approved earlier this year will be used to finance the increased costs.

Hoffman said the city will soon enter into negotiations with the police and firemen. Negotiations will begin after the city reviews the financial picture for the 1980 year. expand Upon return to the open meeting, Miller made a motion authorizing Brewer, a member of the Ashland County Improvement Corp. (CIC), to "pursue what financing is available through the CIC in the event the village would want to undertake a building project for the Flxible." The motion passed unanimously. Council President Jack Irving then stated council's position in regards to the Flxible, saying "We want you to know we will cooperate with Grumman-Flxible to the fullest extent." Mayor Mel Shilling added, "I hope this action will prove that we are planning for the future of the village." DIRECTORS Mt.

LOUDONVILLE Preliminary expansion plans by Grumman-Flxible were revealed during Village Council's meeting Monday night.

Richard Beechy, general manager at the bus manufacturing firm's Loudonville fabrication facility, informed council that Grumman-Flxible "is currently working on a plan to build and expand in the Loudonville community" and will need a building of 100,000 square feet.

Asked if the firm is going to build its new facility on its own property or on someone else's, Beechy replied, "The first choice is on land owned by the village." Beechy inquired what the village had to offer in the way of an industrial complex, saying the company needed to occupy the building next spring or summer. "We need to know the village plans before we would move to an alternate plan," he said and added, "We want to get everyone up front on this." The building would involve about 2 acres under roof, and Beechy said the Flxible was interested in occupying such a building on a lease-buy arrangement. When asked if the company had made any inquiry Into using industrial revenue bonds for the expansion, Beechy replied, "We are looking for the village to lead the way on this." Grocery's parking draws fire WILLARD Parking spaces and wa-terlines were the main topics of discussion at the City Council meeting last night.

According to Councilman Todd Shin-near, many citizens have expressed concern over the shortage of parking spaces at Robert Moore's IGA Supermarket, which is being remodeled. Shinnear said someone had counted only 70 parking spaces at the store, and he asked how many parking spaces were required. Paul Capelle, city manager, answered that the plans submitted by Moore to the City Development Commission called for 103 parking spaces. Capelle added that even if the original outline of the parking lot is changed, 103 parking spaces will have to be provided. David Harwood, law director, agreed that the number of parking spaces in the original plan must be kept even after the store is remodeled.

Harwood said that Moore could be subject to a $50-a-day fine for not complying with the ordinance. Council directed Harwood to send a letter to Moore, advising him of his parking-lot responsibilities and the possible fine for not complying with the original specifications.
