<br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Barry Beasley noted the bill should include impacts on businesses for carrying excess <br />limits and violations of safety regulations. He doesn't think they could be included in the <br />bill at this point. <br /> <br />Mayor Porter noted we are sensitive to industry and don't want to lose them. <br /> <br />William Martin noted increased water transport may be the answer. It would cut down on <br />traffic and E.P.A. issues. <br /> <br />Phil Steelman suggested we get the statistics together and continue to meet on this matter. <br /> <br />William Martin suggested we approach A.C.C. and American Plastics Council to see if <br />they are willing to assist in the infrastructure costs. <br /> <br />Barry Beasley suggested Mayor Porter appoint a Council Committee to brainstorm on <br />transportation issues. <br /> <br />City Manager Debra Feazelle noted the any permit fees should be set to accommodate the <br />designated route. <br /> <br />In conclusion, all parties agreed to work in the "off season" and prepare a bill that, <br />hopefully, all parties could support in 2007 legislature session. This group would consist <br />of Mayor and City Council, Industry, citizens, port and other interested parties. <br /> <br />Phil Steelman in wrapping up encouraged we pull together all interested parties and work <br />together for a solution. He noted it was important to have people working on this issue <br />that the citizens trust. He noted Excel was willing to help with the process. <br /> <br />Meeting discussions ended at 5:37 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectully Submitted, <br /> <br />l1(!apj;~~ <br /> <br />Martha A.
