Mr. Beamish further reported: 1) Committee recommends emergency legislation be prepared to accept the supplemental tax levies for 2000, with the supplemental due to the County receiving revised information regarding the Miami Conservancy District millage. 2) Committee recommends legislation be prepared approving funding for 2000 for the Troy Development Association in the amount of $110,000 and PTCC in the amount of $70,875. 3) Committee recommends legislation be prepared approving support of the Troy REC for 2000 in the amount of $30,000.

LAW & ORDINANCE: Mr. Severt, Chairman, reported as follows: 1) Committee recommends legislation be prepared to accept the final plat of Laurel Creek Subdivision Section II. 2) Committee recommends legislation be prepared establishing fees associated with Zoning Code issues to be effective 1-1-2000. 3) Committee has considered the application to amend the Enterprise Zone Agreement of Spinnaker Coatings. Committee understands the company is going through a difficult time, but feels the terms of the Agreement must be met and Committee recommends action on this be delayed so that the Tax Incentive Review Council can review the status of all Enterprise Zone Agreement, including that of Spinnaker, and make recommendations to Council regarding agreements, especially those that may not be in compliance.
