Mike Metzger

I will now call the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) Board of Director’s meeting to order. Today is November 21, 2014 (10:07 a.m.).

I will now have roll call.

David Bryant – Here, Doreen Sixbey – Here, Brad Walters – Here, Dennis Rak – Here, Cory Duckworth – Here, and Mike Metzger – Here.  We have a quorum and will begin the meeting.

George Borrello – (Conferenced in – unable to participate.)

Kevin Sanvidge

Introduced Michelle Turner, CCIDA’s newest staff member. Michelle is responsible for marketing Chautauqua County – mainly in tourism and bringing tourism type events to Chautauqua County.  Her first project is bringing PGA Golf Tour to Chautauqua County to Peek’n Peak.  She is working with several contacts from the PGA.

Michelle will also be working on a project related to Governor Cuomo’s new grant put in to effect having to do with craft beers that will fit right in with Southern Tier Brewery and tourism.  Looking to do some type of cycling race around Chautauqua Lake similar to the Boilermaker held in Utica – a very large running race.

We are also working with an Organic dairy broker, who wants to come to Chautauqua County – he also wants to set up an all Organic training/learning center.

She will be working with the tourism part of economic development in Chautauqua County.

Mike Metzger

I would like a motion to accept the October 21, 2014, minutes.

David Bryant

So moved.

Dennis Rak

Second.

Mike Metzger

Any discussion?  Hearing none – All in favor indicate by saying Aye.

Board Members

Ayes all around – The minutes are accepted.

Mike Metzger

Dennis, the first Resolution.

Dennis Rak

Resolution 11-21-14-01

Resolution Taking Preliminary Action Toward the Acquisition and Straight Leasing of a Certain Project for Cummins, Inc., and Authorizing the Execution and Delivery of a Preliminary Agreement with the Applicant with Respect to Such Transaction.
Doreen Sixbey

Second

Rich Dixon

Introduced Doug Tyler from Deloitte Tax, LLP.

Doug Tyler

Introduced Cummins representatives – Andrew Robson and Ryan Dernar.

Board was thanked for the time and commitment to the company to help them invest and create this project in western NY.

Andrew Robson

I am the financial controller for the site.  We are bringing in manufacturing that we currently outsource from Germany.  It is to introduce a block line.  The retention of jobs is the main thing because we are under a lot of pressure from a lot of corporate partners in Columbus to start a block line to see if we are the most competitive in the machining lines.  To bring this in to Chautauqua County is an excellent achievement when the company is actually looking to outsource its machining capabilities.

We were in competition with the plant in Indiana.  We were able to get the costs down so we could secure the business for this area.  This is good for a longevity perspective to keep the business in Chautauqua County.

Doug Tyler

That’s part one of the project as presented – one is obviously the opportunity for retention of 31 jobs and the expectation of potentially 10 new jobs.

The balance of the project, throughout a 3 year period, would include the balance of investments required to maintain the facility as a whole for the duration of the project time.

Andrew Robson

We will be requiring contractors from the area to do the project as well.

Mike Metzger

If there is no further discussion, I will take a roll call vote.

David Bryant – Aye, Doreen Sixbey – Aye, Brad Walters – Abstain, Dennis Rak – Aye, Kim Peterson – Aye, Cory Duckworth – Aye, and Mike Metzger – Aye.    The resolution is passed.

I would now like to move for a motion to go directly in to executive session to discuss the financial and credit history of certain companies and the potential acquisition and lease of real property by the Agency and or personnel matters.

David Bryant

I so move.

Doreen Sixbey

I second.

Mike Metzger

All those in favor.

Board

Ayes all around.  We are now in Executive Session.


Executive Session begins at 10:20 a.m.


Executive Session ends at 10:40 a.m.

We are now in regular session.
