CACIDA Aug. 2, 2006 report: Meetings to be 1st Tues., noon Authority board changes regular monthly meetings to noon on each first Tuesday. Authority delays election of new Chairman for one month after Randy Nelson, and in turn every other member, turns down post; Chairman Barry Corbin reluctantly stays on for 30 days. Bylaws may be changed to restructure leadership. Majestic Yachts ribbon cutting coming in October. Authority sends notice to auction company, Kentucky Real Estate Commission about covenants in Green River Commerce Park deeds. Available labor force study jointly with a couple of neighboring counties may be considered. By Ed Waggener The Columbia-Adair County Industrial Authority (CACIDA) meetings will be changed to each first Tuesday at noon. The action was taken by the full authority at it's regular August meeting, Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m., August 2, 2006. CACIDA was to have had new officers elected. Board Chairman Barry Corbin has indicated that he will not continue in the position. But with no one willing to take the position, the matter was tabled until the August meeting, at which time the bylaws may be amended to provide a different structure. Besides Chairman Corbin, the other officers are Barry Loy, Vice-Chairman, and Mike Neal, Secretary-Treasurer. Other members of the board are Jason Corbin, Randy Nelson, and Monica Rodgers. The nominating committee had originally suggested that Randy Nelson be named chairman, but he declined, saying that his health is getting better, but that he does not believe that it is good enough to carry out the duties of chairman. CACIDA votes to send letter on covenants, signage at the Park The board voted to send letters to the auction company selling property in Green River Commerce Park to let them know that property in the park is subject to covenants and that the property is not in compliance in so far as signage is concerned. The motion to send the letter came from member Mike Neal, and was seconded by Randy Nelson. A copy will be sent to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission, as well. Vice Chairman Barry Loy said that unless the covenants are announced the day of the sale, the sale might be invalidated. Old buildings on property will be dismantled Mr. Jones said that a consultant who had gone through the property suggested that several old farm buidings on the property should be removed. "That will be done," he said. "we'll probably be able to get them torn down for the lumber," he said. He did not indicate, in the meeting, whether the surplus buildings will be advertised for bids. He also said that CACIDA will be restricting sales of tracts to bigger acreages. "Ninety-eight percent of the tracts in industrial parks usually go in the 10-50 acre size parcels," he said. "We don't need to be cutting off any more five acre parcels. He also said that the sites maps not indicate a seond access point to KY 55. "I don't see that as happening soon," he said, "so I think we ought to take that out of our brochures." He did say that KY 55, as the "footprint for the Heartland Parkway," will be and important part of the future industrial development in Columbia. He said that on a recent visit to Frankfort, he, Mayor Pat Bell, and Vice Chairman Barry Loy were able to make State Industrial Development leaders aware of the immense highway development in Adair County. "Everyone we talk to who has been to Columbia remembers the traffic problems getting through the Square. When we tell them that the road construction is underway, not just in the planning stage, they get excited." The Executive Director suggested that CACIDA consider go in with a couple of neighboring counties to get a manpower study done by a company he knows, Pathfinders, to give a report on the available labor force. "The study can be done for $45,000 or so," he said, "but if we share the project with a couple of other neighboring counties, the cost goes down to a more reasonable figure." He said that a geo-technical study is complete, and, after 25 or so core drillin samples were taken, it was shown that the soil in the Park is 25 feet deep. "And it's highly compactable," he said. "We'll have plenty of soil to work with in site preparation." At the moment, there is one live prospect. "We've been talking with two, but one is only a 'suspect,' not a real prospect," he said. Executive Director also reported on the following:
