NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />a. continued.... <br />because Cadillac purchased some <br />assembly equipment for the NorthStar <br />engine, which Federal-Mogul South Bend, <br />Inc. makes pistons for. Federal -Mogul <br />South Bend, Inc. has taken over Cadillac's <br />purchase order for the assembly <br />equipment. Federal -Mogul South Bend, <br />Inc. needs to construct the addition to its <br />building in order to handle the new <br />assembly equipment for the NorthStar <br />Engine, which Federal-Mogul South Bend, <br />Inc. makes for Cadillac, before it starts <br />snowing. <br />Mr. Blake made a motion to approve <br />Resolution No. 1640 approving the real <br />property tax abatement for Federal -Mogul <br />South Bend, Inc. Mr. Hunt seconded the <br />motion. The vote was 2 -2 with Ms. <br />Schwartz and Mr. Donoho voting against <br />the motion. Mr. Donoho stated that he has <br />a problem with obtaining the foundation <br />permit before filing the tax abatement <br />petition. He also stated that the <br />Commission has dealt, in the past, with the <br />issue of obtaining a permit before filing a <br />tax abatement petition, and the <br />Commission has expressed its displeasure <br />with it. Mr. Donoho stated that it has been <br />his understanding, during the fifteen years <br />he has served on the Commission, that any <br />permit obtained before filing of a tax <br />abatement permit was not permitted. <br />Ms. Schwartz suggested that this <br />resolution should be tabled until another <br />HAWPDATATOMMSM100298.MIN -9- <br />
