Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 117218 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections. Jordan/Berry that letter of objection from Robert J. Molinaro be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 117219 - Ann Olsson, 1972 Newell Street and a member of the Newell/Conger Truck Traffic Committee, stated she is concerned with the proposed development, especially if the trucks will be using Newell Street. Ms. Olsson stated that 95 percent of the truck traffic has been removed from Newell and Conger Street. Ms. Olsson stated if Gray Transportation moves to the Northeast Industrial Park, she would like a gentlemen's agreement that they will use Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Bob Molinaro, 210 Beck Street, stated that his opposition to this issue is nothing personal because he would be opposed no matter who applied because of what it would do to existing businesses. Mr. Molinaro asked if this is economic development or relocation, and he believes this move has nothing to do with economic development. Mr. Molinaro stated that Mr. Gray has stated that they have been here since 1986. Warren Transport has been here since 1950. Mr. Molinaro stated Mr. Gray lives in Sumner, while he lives here and has a greater love for this city. Mr. Molinaro stated he feels there are other options and land. H & W went out of business, K& A went under, both in his area. Mr. Molinaro stated Mr. Gray has the right to locate anywhere he wants as long as the city does not foot the bill. Mr. Gray is asking for ten acres of land which is worth about $200,000. Mr. Molinaro stated that in the Cedar Falls Industrial Park for every 10,000 square feet, businesses get one acre of land. The cost for the building is undetermined, and he estimates Gray's parking lot will be over eight acres. Mr. Molinaro stated he felt the city would use the Northeast Industrial Park for new businesses. Mr. Molinaro stated Mr. Gray had a gas station on North Elk Run Road that he could have used. Mr. Molinaro questions businesses getting freebees at the expense of the rest of the businesses that have to compete. The city is giving Mr. Gray tax rebates for five years and property valued at $200,000, and the rest of the businesses will have to compete with Mr. Gray, and this gives Mr. Gray a predatory edge on existing businesses. Mr. Molinaro stated that Mr. Gray's threat of other options is a veil threat as he will locate where his core business is located, and even if he moves somewhere else in the Cedar Valley, we still count that as one area. • • July 8, 2002 • • HEARINGS CONTINUED Page 3 Mr. Molinaro stated that the Department of Economic Development has noted that there are industries that they have placed an increased emphasis on the issue of competition, especially when it appears that a project has the potential of displacing exciting competition in the same type of business within the state. The department feels there are a number of industry areas where substantial competition currently exists in the state. One example of such industry cited by them is the trucking industry. The Department of Economic Development has said that in the future the approach will be to presume that the request will be denied unless evidence can be provided which shows the proposed project will not negatively impact other existing Iowa companies or employment. Mr. Molinaro stated Mr. Gray's business will bring in more traffic, and that should concern the council. Mr. Molinaro stated that Mr. Gray has land where he is at. H & W is vacant and available, why doesn't Gray locate on Elk Run Road. Mr. Molinaro asked why is it we have to interfere with the free market, why not let the free market work. Mr. Molinaro asked if that is how the council awards existing businesses by giving Mr. Gray the edge. Mr. Molinaro stated that a lot of businesses located here in the 50s, and they got no gifts, just a lot of cooperation, and businesses do not get that cooperation any more. Mr. Molinaro stated Mayor Rooff and council members should concern themselves with bigger issues and that is to reduce taxes because that will do more than anything to increase economic development. Mr. Molinaro stated that a committee Mayor Rooff asked him to sit on, one item discussed was a hostile City Hall and relocations like Cedar Falls. The mission of the Task Force was to make sure we create economic development and create more jobs. The city needs to bring in economic development and good jobs. Mr. Molinaro asked if anyone has determined Mr. Gray's gross business and looked at his financial statements. Mr. Molinaro stated he does not see where all of Gray's development is coming from. Mr. Molinaro stated the trucking industry is highly competitive, and the city doesn't need to give incentives. Mr. Molinaro stated it has been said Warren Transportation got quirks, but they got offered quirks after the building was built. Warren couldn't even get sewer and water, but had to run their own, although IBP and the Tannery got sewer and water. Warren got an artificial pump and tapped into Deere's sewer. Warren did not get exits, but the exists were for IBP and the Tannery. Warren Transportation did not get anything, but were told they were too close to the railroad tracks. Mr. Molinaro stated that Warren Transportation made it work and takes pride in what they do. Mr. Molinaro stated that Warren built two more buildings and another warehouse and received nothing. Mr. Molinaro stated he feels this is a derelict of duty as the city does not even have a budget, but we are giving everything away. Mr. Molinaro stated the city overbuilt the sewer and now the city is going to raise rates. Robert Sieglaff, 914 West 4th Street, stated that no other city has credit cards, and this city does not need credit cards. Mr. Sieglaff stated that the city raised sewer and garbage fees and put the money into the General Fund, and he believes that is double taxation. Mr. Sieglaff asked what the city did with the federal money received for the airport. Mayor Rooff responded that a pre- bid meeting will be held this week with the contractors, and the bids will be submitted to the council in a few weeks. Mr. Sieglaff stated the public should know what the city is doing with all these moneys, and the city does not need the one cent option tax extension because if the city isn't using the funds, then we don't need the sales tax at all. Tom DeJaeger, Zephyr Transport located at the corner of 18th Street and Black Hawk. stated that he came to the city in 1991 to see if the city would give him a patch of property located on 18th Street, and Don Temeyer said no, that the city does not do that for things like that. Now after Zephyr purchased the Kroblin property, they are giving this land to Gray Transportation. Mr. DeJaeger stated he does not understand why the city should have to give money to Mr. Gray so he can be a tougher competitor. Mr. DeJaeger stated Zephyr cleaned up the property, pay taxes and employs 80 people, and this will put a burden on his business. Mr. DeJaeger stated they had to pay for everything, nobody gave them anything. Mr. DeJaeger stated if Mr. Gray relocates to the Northeast Industrial site, this will give him a definite advantage with IBP and Deere. Mr. DeJaeger stated that R & A and H & W properties are empty, and Mr. Gray could purchase that property and put it back on the tax roll. Mr. DeJaeger stated giving this to Mr. Gray will give him an advantage over the other trucking businesses. Nick Brennan, a businessman from New Jersey, stated they recently acquired a trucking company which does a lot of business with IBP. Mr. Brennan stated he is dismayed the council will be a business partner with his competitor. Mr. Brennan asked how does he get the same consideration as Mr. Gray, and that the council needs to treat everyone fairly. July 8, 2002 Page 4 HEARINGS CONTINUED LeRoy Gray, 1307 Baxter Avenue, stated he has lived in Fairbanks since 1996. Mr. Gray stated that he has added 30 new jobs, 40 new trucks and 90 trailers and will be adding 15 additional jobs. Mr. Gray stated that his current facility is larger than the H & W and R & A facilities. Mr. Gray stated that LA Transport inquired about the Northeast Industrial site, went to Elk Run Road, and now they have left town. Mr. Gray stated that IBP is a great partner for our community, and if Mr. Molinaro had his way IBP could be in Manchester now. Mr. Gray stated that his company and Mr. Molinaro's company are different, and they share only one customer. Gray Transportation has 150 tractors with one independent contractor, and Mr. Molinaro has all independent contractors. Mr. Gray stated that regarding his other options, he his 63 years old and does not need to build, but it is his choice to hand down his business to his children, and that it is his intent to stay in Waterloo. Mr. Gray stated he moved out of town because of his horses. Mr. Gray reported that his business will see $18 million gross revenues this year with most of the money spent in Waterloo. Mr. Gray stated that most of his trucks will use Elk Run Road.
