Adair Fiscal Court Report 11 Oct 2016 - The GRCP sewer project Fiscal Court fails to kick in additional $2,000 needed to fund the Green River Commerce Park sewer project as recommended by CJE Mike Stephens, but EDA Chair Mark Dykes, Mayor Curtis Hardwick, and Green River Commerce Park prime tenant Rob Wilkerson say the difference in funding will be provided and the project will move forward. Adair Co. Fiscal Court 11 Oct 2016: Links to all reports By Ed Waggener The Adair County Fiscal Court met in a fast-paced session last night, Tuesday, October 11, 2016, with CJE Mike Stephens presiding and six of the seven magistrates - Harold Burton (District 1), Sammy Baker (3), Perry Reeder (4), Billy Dean Coffey (5), Greg Caldwell (6), and Terry Hadley (7) present. Daryl Flatt (2), was absent. Most measures presented were passed unanimously, but one, a recommendation by Judge Stephens to modify the County's contribution to a locally financed sewer project in the Green River Commerce Park, failed for lack a a motion. Adair County EDA Chair Mark Dykes said, that he believes the project is very worthy of support, and although he had hoped for the county to give the additional aid, the failure would be made up for by the other entities involved. Mayor Curtis Hardwick said that the City of Columbia has already approved the modest increase needed for the project. And, Rob Wilkerson, CEO of ATS Mobility and Wilkerson Mobility Transportation said that he plans to support the project. Wilkerson said, in a telephone interview this morning, that his newest building does not have adequate sewer capacity and will have only after the Green River Commerce project is complete. He said that his company now has over 40 employees and that the increased sewer capacity is essential for major expansion he plans, including an agreement with Toyota similar to the one he has with Chrysler. Wilkerson said that he also is in negotiations to add lines based on the Ram Promaster vans in the ambulance and RV for handicapped field. The additions could more than double the workforce his company employs. Mayor Hardwick said that the project has been awarded and that the winning contractor, Cumberland Pipeline of Russell Springs is ready to start just as soon as the interlocal financing agreement is firmly in place. The county had voted at one time to contribute up to $35,000 as its part of a four way cost share, to be bourn by the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority, the City of Columbia, Adair Fiscal Court, and the park's anchor tenant, ATS Mobility/Wilkerson Transport. The City of Columbia, designated the lead sponsor, advertised for bids on the project, which came in just slightly over budget; at $118,000, per share contribution rose $2,000. The City of Columbia and the EDA have agreed to the higher level, and Judge Stephens had said he thought the court would kick in the relatively small sum to keep the project on track, but that did not happen Tuesday night. Judge Stephens said that the $27,500 is committed. This story was posted on 2016-10-13 01:02:36
