RECOGNITION AND RESPONSE TO VISITORS RELATING TO CITY BUSINESS
Rob Adams – Economic Development Update
Mr. Adams reported there was a company looking at the Milford area, which would be a large project involving renewable energy; but the development is confidential at this point.
There was a lengthy discussion of municipal power authority involving Mr. Adams and the members of the Council with Mr. Adams suggesting that if there was any consideration of operating municipal power that the city does a lot of investigating before making any final decisions.
He reported that UPC Wind is moving forward in their project; they anticipate completion of the Final Environmental Impact Study June 2008 with construction beginning July and are hoping to have it completed in one season.
Mr. Adams introduced Melvin Radmall, who has purchased property and will be proposing a refinery north of town. Mr. Radmall explained that he would be proposing placing a refinery that would produce 6,000 barrels per day. He would like to produce diesel and gasoline and hopes to keep it in the local market as much as possible. With the exception of engineers, they would hire locals to run the plant. He anticipates there would be approximately 15 truck loads per day coming into the plant but could not give a figure for outgoing traffic at this point. He anticipates eighteen months to two years for production to commence.

Beaver County Request for City Participation to Cost of Repairs for Chip Sealer
City Manager Kennedy explained Beaver County was requesting the City pay $2,595.01 to help repair the chip sealer. Foreman Bradshaw recommended the city participate as he felt the city has received adequate use of the chip sealer from Beaver County. Council Member Bryan Sherwood stated he was in support of participating for the repairs because that was the agreement made but he didn’t feel that it was right that the Beaver County Commission ask the citizen’s of Beaver, Minersville, and Milford to donate nine thousand dollars just a month after they receive a $10,000 per year raise. Council Member Nolan Davis agreed with Council Member Sherwood.
MOTION: Council Member Bryan Sherwood moved to authorize the city to participate in the cost of repairs for the chip sealer. Motion seconded by Council Member Nolan Davis and carried unanimously.

REPORTS AND COMMENTS
· City Engineer McKeon commented on HB-51 regarding water right forfeiture protection.
· City Manager Kennedy provided members of the council information on the airport and sewer funds as follow up to the auditors report. Ken Hinton included costs for the Airport Fund, but did not include all revenue. The reports given by City Manager Kennedy offered an accounting of the fund showing all of the revenue and inventory instead of just fuel sales. The discount for cash fuel sales had been discontinued but City Manager Kennedy thought it should be reinstated.
· City Manager Nedra Kennedy asked the Council members to review information provided on a proposed sewer rate increase and be ready to discuss their preference at the next meeting and then hold a public hearing in March.
