A Voice Poll was recorded as follows: All Ayes

Linda S. Kern, 29 Lanie Jen Trail, Addyston, OH, commented that she would be the owner of the Buffalo’s Southwest Café (2457 Cedar St.) in Holt, and that she currently owns a Buffalo’s Southwest Café in Greendale, IN. The Buffalo’s Southwest Café in Indiana is similar to the one in Holt.

Pam Ballman, District Manager for Buffalo’s Southwest Café, commented that she would be overseeing both the Greendale and Holt Buffalo’s Southwest Cafés. Ms. Ballman further commented that she has an apartment at Aspen Lakes at 3820 Moon Pine Dr., Apt. #1 and that she would be working with Ms. Kern at the Buffalo’s Southwest Café in Holt. They believe that they can run a successful operation in Holt based on the sales numbers that were reviewed.

Supervisor Goodrich commented that it is his understanding that Ms. Kern tried unsucessfully to obtain the liquor license from the former owner of the Holt Buffalo’s Southwest Café. Ms. Kern responded that the sale of the liquor license was all-inclusive in the sale of the property, and that the former owner was asking $40,000 for the sale of his Liquor License, which is more than she was willing to pay for the license. Ms. Kern commented that she is purchasing the property (2457 Cedar St.) from Citizens Bank, and that the closing on this property is on June 8, 2005.

Trustee Krepps asked about why the former owner of the Holt Buffalo’s Southwest Café went out of business. Ms. Kern commented that she heard that it was due to personal reasons, and she further commented that the sales were doing very well. Trustee Krepps asked about the reopening date and Ms. Kern responded that the Grand Opening of the Holt Buffalo’s Southwest Café would be July 20, 2005 and that they would be initially hiring about 88 people from the area.

Ms. Kern commented that she has Chips I and Chips II; therefore, the corporation name for the Holt Buffalo’s Southwest is Chips III. She is not affiliated with the former Chips Lounge in north Lansing.

There were no written or verbal comments received from the public.

The Board reviewed a memorandum dated June 6, 2005 from Al McFadyen, DDA Executive Dir., the Notice of Public Hearing, and a draft of the Delhi Township Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Brownfield Plan No. 2 for 2350 Cedar Street (ATTACHMENT III).

Al McFadyen, DDA Executive Dir./Dir. of Community Development, commented that the purpose of this public hearing is to comply with the State of Michigan Brownfield Redevelopment Authority statute, which requires a public hearing prior to the adoption of a Brownfield Plan. All taxing jurisdictions were notified who have tax millages subject to capture.

Mr. McFadyen further commented that this plan is specific to the property at 2350 Cedar St., and that by global standards the amount of contamination and remediation is not a great deal and is estimated to be about $20,000. The Brownfield Plan, in order to be conservative, has provided for up to $100,000 in response activities and has scheduled repayment of tax increment dollars being generated from this parcel to reimburse the new owners for the cost of doing the response activities. Supervisor Goodrich commented that the owner of the 2350 Cedar St. property is Sam Medawar.

Clerk Hope commented that the Township is in receipt of a facsimile of a letter dated June 7, 2005 from Capital Area Transportation Authority (on file in the Clerk’s Office) stating that they support the redevelopment of Brownfield properties in Delhi Township, but they are requesting that the CATA millage be exempt from the requested tax abatement for this project. Clerk Hope further commented that certain taxing entities cannot be exempt from the tax abatement; it has to be all or nothing. Mr. McFadyen commented that it is probably the CATA Board’s policy to send this type of letter whenever this type of issue arises. Mr. McFadyen further commented that in this case, it makes no difference, because these are tax increment dollars that are being captured by the Delhi Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and the DDA is redirecting it from the DDA to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. Furthermore, this will be the first year for this sharing. All of the taxing jurisdictions who have tax millages subject to capture were given the same letter informing them that if they are part of the DDA and part of the sharing agreement, it doesn’t change anything.

Supervisor Goodrich asked about the number of underground tanks, and Mr. McFadyen responded that he thinks there are four tanks.

There were no written or verbal comments received from the public.

Bd. on 1/20/2004) that the Delhi Downtown Development Authority (DDA) made with Delhi Township, Ingham County, Capital Area District Library, CATA, and Lansing Community College. This agreement provides for a sharing of captured tax increment revenues. The total amount of money collected through March 2, 2005 is $540,000, which will be shared amongst these entities.

Clerk Hope commented that it is likely that he will not be able to attend the June 21, 2005 Township Board meeting, because he will be attending the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks Association (MAMC) conference in Frankenmuth, MI the week of June 20^th. Clerk Hope further commented that generally he would drive back for the Township Board meeting; however, he is on the MAMC Board of Directors and their conference chairman; therefore, it is necessary for him to remain at the conference.
