The Miami Township Board of Trustees met in special session on July 14, 2004 at 7:00PM. Chairperson Edwin H. Humphrey called the meeting to order dispensing with the Pledge of Allegiance and the invocation.
Miami Township Clerk, Eric C. Ferry called the role. Attending were Edwin H. Humphrey, Joseph W. Uecker and Mary Makley Wolff.
Miami Township Administrator, Dave Duckworth recommended the Board grant conditional employment to Justin Schuh for the position of seasonal park maintenance worker. Mrs. Wolff made a motion to approve the recommendation. Mr. Uecker seconded the motion. Upon roll call, all voted "AYE."
Mr. Duckworth discussed the proposed Neyer Properties TIF agreement with the Milford School Board. Mr. Borchers, business manager for the Milford Schools called and requested that the TIF Agreement include language that would give the schools $570,746. in service payments over the life of the TIF. The School Board has never asked for service payments on prior TIF agreements, but allowed for language to retire the debt earlier than proposed. After analyzing the proposed request from the School Board, there would still be adequate funds available to pay off the debt incurred by the Township. In addition, the proposed TIF district includes Neyer Properties development and vacant land close to site. It would be changed to only include the Neyer Property Development. Mr. Duckworth asked if the Board of Trustees had a problem with the change. The Board of Trustees gave their consensus to the change.
Mr. Duckworth indicated that at the next meeting on July 20, 2004, the Board would hear a request from Kamphaus, Henning & Hood, CPA Inc. for a tax abatement. Due to some changes in Clermont County Staffing, the request was overlooked. They are required to obtain an Ohio Department Waiver since they are moving here from another community. The waiver will not be done before the 20th. Mr. Duckworth asked the Board if they would consider approving the request with the condition that the waiver is granted. The Board had no problem approving the request on a conditional basis.
With no other business to come before the Board, Chairperson Humphrey
adjourned the meeting at 7:45PM.
