Parent Member of the Common Council A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time.

The State of Indiana has passed legislation requiring that all plumbers be licensed on the state level beginning in 1973.

They would then come under the "Grandfathers clause" of the state law and would not have to take the state examination. Mr. West explained that the applicants pay the examination fee but it goes into the General Fund.

Sweeney, Jr. explained that you can transfer money by resolution when the transfer is being made between two minor items in the same classification, in this case "Services Personal ". When a transfer is being made from one classification to another, an ordinance is required. Councilman Parent moved for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski.

The estimates are as follows: (1) There will be a slight burden on utilities, police and fire protection since a plant which previously did not exist is being considered. In our opinion, the increased tax base of the city, as a result of the new plant, will more than offset the aforementioned costs. (2) The total project cost of the proposed facilities will be approximately $180,000.00. (3) The number of jobs to be created by the proposed facility would be approximately 37 resulting in an increased payroll of $305,000 to $515,000 annually. This is an established business in our community in-- `:the electronics field. This proposed facility will increase the tax base and require utilization of our local construction industry to build the facility. 11 11 RESOLUTION NO. 343 -72 (CONTINUED) " of 28, 1972 Mr. Aaron H.
