GREENCASTLE COMMON COUNCIL
REGULAR SESSION
TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1997 7:00 P.M. PUTNAM COUNTY LIBRARY
The Greencastle Common Council met in Regular Session Tuesday, March 11, 1997, 7:00 p.m.
at the Putnam County Library. Mayor Michael called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. On the
Roll Call, the following were found to be present: Councilor Roach, Councilor Hammer,
Councilor Green and Councilor Masten. Councilor Baynard arrived at 7:25 p.m. Also present
was City Attorney John Zeiner.
PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing was held regarding Tax Abatement for Crown Equipment. Mayor Michael
® corrected the agenda stating that the Resolution number should be 1997 -6 not Resolution 1997-
5. Vince Wallace, Crown Plant Manager, stated that Crown is happy to make an investment of
$9 million and the addition of approximately 200 jobs. Crown is now interviewing for the new
positions. Bill Dory handed out the Statement of Benefits and explained that you do not get
abatement until the investment is made and this is all part of the package negotiated with the
State. Jim Renz, Superintendent of Greencastle School Corporation, stated that he is
representing the schools as a whole and read a statement regarding the negative affects on the
school district if this is declared a TIF area. Mr. Renz stated that S3 million was captured in the
current TIF area. Mr. Renz stated that tax rates are effected.
Attorney Zeiner stated that this does not involve TIF and will actually leave more TIF surplus to
be distributed to the separate entities.
Councilor Masten told Dr. Renz that he shares his concern and asked Dr. Renz for a copy of his
letter. Councilor Masten stated that this is not a project anyone would turn away. The Council
will be vigilant about projects in the TIF area and will only be done for the good of the public.
Mr. Dory reminded everyone that the Redevelopment Commission cannot do any project
without Council approval. Attorney Zeiner told Council that Resolution 1997 -6 is an exact copy
of what was handed out at the last meeting except the last two paragraphs have been changed.
Councilor Roach stated that through past practice, without having the Resolution prior to the
meeting the Council will wait until Monday's Special Meeting to vote on the Resolution.
The Public Hearing was concluded at 7:30 p.m.

Under the Provisions of Indiana Code 36- 7 -2 -9, as Amended from Time to Time Providing for
the Issuance of Permit, Providing Penalties for Violations, and Repealing All Ordinances, or Part
Thereof, in Conflict herewith, second reading. Mayor read by Title only. Councilor Masten
asked that in Appendix A on Building Permit Fees that the $1.00 per square foot of sign face be
lowered to $.50 per square foot of sign face. Councilor Roach asked BC /CP Andonov what the
standard is. BC /CP Andonov stated that there are different fees for different areas - it's a fair
price and is OK with me. Councilor Green asked what the fee for a 1 & 2 family dwelling was
prior to this ordinance. BC /CP answered $80.00 - with passage of this Ordinance it will be

Ordinance. Councilor Hammer stated that the driveway narrows as it gets closer to the street
and the apron is smaller than the smallest part of the driveway - we need two Ordinances - one
for snow removal and one for this driveway. The owners have not exhausted all remedies
® available to them. The apron needs to be made wider. Councilor Hammer continued that he
feels we are opening a can of worms. Engineer Barnes and Street Commissioner Wright made
their recommendation and after looking at the situation, 1 support their recommendation.
Councilor Hammer stated that he would support the snow removal part of the Ordinance, but not
the middle of the block. Councilor Baynard stated that City Hall nor any Councilmembers have
received calls regarding this and it has been going on for 6 months. This Ordinance can help a
member of the community without hurting anyone - off street parking is available. Councilor

has attempted to equalize funding behind each student, and has placed additional
responsibility on local corporations that have high assessments - paying more local
tax and receiving less from the state. Therefore, though we are the largest
corporation in Putnam County, and growing in numbers equal to the other

corporations in Putnam Counry (gaining each year) we receive substantially less
total dollars than the other 3 systems. Then add the shortfalls.

INDIANA PREVAILING WAGE
COMPLIANCE MANUAL

INDIANA PREVAILING WAGE
COMPLIANCE MANUAL
0
Introduction
The 1995 General Assembly made substantial changes to Indiana's pre-
vailing wage law during the 1995 session. (See Exhibit 2.) These changes
went into effect July 1, 1995. As amended, the prevailing wage law now
only applies to certain public works projects in excess of One Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). As a recent wage determination under
the new law in Plymouth, Indiana (the "City of Plymouth Determination;'
See Exhibit 1) illustrates, these changes will dramatically alter the fashion
in which wages are determined for these public works construction pro-
jects. This compliance manual is supplied as a public service for those per- •
sons implementing or affected by the new law.
Wage Determination Committee Makeup
On projects over $150,000.00, the awarding agency, before advertising for
the contract bid, shall set up a five (5) member Wage Determination
Committee to establish an hourly "common construction wage" for the
county. These Committee members shall represent persons from each of
the following:
■ A taxpayer who pays the tax that will fund the project and resides in
the county of the project. The owner of the project appoints this
taxpayer. •
2
0 A taxpayer who pays the tax that will fund the project and resides in
® the county of the project. The legislative body of the county (i.e.,
county council) appoints this taxpayer.
0 A person representing industry, to be named by the awarding agency.
(See Appendix A for a list of resources.)
® A person named by the Governor.
® A person representing labor, to be named by the President of the
State Federation of Labor.
Duties of the Five Member
Wage Determination Committee
is
A.The Wage Determination Committee must establish an hourly "common
construction wage" in the county for each of three labor classifications:
1. Skilled labor,
2. Semi - skilled labor, and
3. Unskilled labor.
(See Exhibit 1).
LI
3
B. The new law does not specifically define skilled, semi - skilled, or
unskilled labor. It is the responsibility of the Wage Determination
Committee to gather information and to use its own guidelines and
experience in determining how the labor to be used in the project fits
into these classifications.
C. In addition, the Committee shall meet and listen to information presented
to it, and may also gather its own information, to determine this hourly
"common construction wage" in the county for each of the three classes
of labor.
D. The statute directs the Committee to consider wage data that is available
from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development when determin-
ing these wages. In addition, other information may be submitted by any
other person for consideration. (See Appendix B for a list of wage data
sources.)
E. The Committee is autonomous in determining the hourly "common con-
struction wage" and is not bound by either any specific testimony or data
provided or any particular person or group presenting information. Th
Committee is not, however. required to consider information not present-
ed to the Committee at th time of the meetina.
F. The Committee shall provide their findings in writing to the awarding
agency no less than TWO (2) WEEKS prior to the awarding agency's bid 0
letting.
4
G. If the Committee fails to act at or before the two -week window prior to bid
® letting, the awarding agency shall make its own wage determination and
its findings shall be final.
Where Does the
Wage Determination Committee Meet?
The awarding agency who sets up the Committee shall determine the time
and the place for the Committee's meetings, but the Committee must meet
in the county where the project is located. Public notice is required per
Indiana Open Door Law.
A Final Review of the New Requirements of
The Indiana Prevailing Wage Law
® 1. All projects under $150,000.00 are exempt.
2. On projects over $150,000.00, the awarding agency sets up a five-
member Wage Determination Committee to determine an hourly
"common construction wage" for the county for each of three classes
of labor: skilled, semi - skilled, and unskilled.
3. After the Committee submits its determination, the project is bid using
that data, or, if the Committee fails to timely arrive at a wage determi-
nation, the awarding agency makes the wage determination itself
under the law's new standards.

Summary
The new amendments to Indiana's prevailing wage law were designed to 0
save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars by more accurately reflecting
local wages in the county where the public works project is located. By
moving from the old three - member committee to the new five - member
committee, the new law provides greater taxpayer involvement in determin-
ing the wages which are to be paid on these projects. Thus, as the recent
events in Plymouth illustrate, each awarding agency now has greater free-
dom to do something about lowering the high costs of its public works con-
struction projects.

City Hall
Greencastle IN 46135
Dear Mayor Michael:
20 February 1997
Phase I of the Gobin Church project, as described in Don's
letter of 19 August 1996, is progressing quite well. Since
that date and the subsequent Essential Services meeting on 11
September, Depauw and Gobin have come to agreement regarding
changes in parking and traffic flow on Simpson Street and Spring
Street. A copy of our agreement document is enclosed.
Gobin is now ready to proceed to Phase II; Gobin and Depauw
therefore make requests for city approval and action as listed
below.
Gobin Memorial UM Church makes the these six requests:
1. Approval to cut the north curb of Simpson Street for a
distance of approximately 100 feet in order to construct
a passenger drop- off /pick -up area at the new entrance to
the church facility.
2. Elimination of all parking on the north side of Simpson
Street in the block between Locust and Spring, except for
a "20 minute limit" zone in the drop- off /pick -up area.
(3. and 4. below will replace the two handicapped spaces
lost.)
3. Creation of one handicapped parking space on the west side
/Q of Locust Street as near the Simpson Street intersection
VJ � J Q�4U as possible.
4. Creation of one handicapped parking space on the east side
of Spring Street as near the Simpson Street intersection
as possible.
5. Moving the traffic lane of Simpson Street between Locust
and Spring from its south side to its north side.
E
Gobin /Depauw letter dated 20 Feb 97 (page 2)
6. Reversal of traffic direction on the one block of Spring
Street between Simpson Street and Seminary Street so that
it will henceforth flow from South to North.
Depauw University makes this request:
Approval to cut the south curb of Simpson Street for a distance
sufficient to create at least ten diagonal parking spaces.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

Greencastle, IN 46135
Dear Nancy,
We have two senior chaplains who are physically handicapped and who work daily at the
University Ministries Center. They are Dr. Russell Compton and Dr. Robert Eccles. Both of
these persons have handicapped stickers for their automobiles.
® Since it is difficult to find parking near the University Ministries Center during the academic year,
we request that you designate two of the parking spaces in front of the University Ministries
Center on Seminary Street as "handicapped parking spaces ". We would deeply appreciate your
putting this item on the next agenda of the Greencastle City Council.
Thank you for your assistance.
Cordially,,
