The Rocky Mountain Sugar Growers
Cooperative will be coming before Scottsbluffs LB 840
committee Tuesday.
Scottsbluff City Manager Rick Kuckkahn
said there will be a closed meeting Tuesday to hear the
cooperatives request. The committee will take the request
under careful consideration before making a decision, he said.
"The cooperative is looking to
retain 200 employees," Kuckkahn said. "Were going
to have to be careful how we would structure the agreement so
that we make sure that were not an investor."
Kuckkahn said the usual formula of $500
per employee could generate up to a $1 million request. He
said the cooperative is looking into a state match of the
funds that would reduce the citys LB 840 impact to
$500,000.
"That would be a sizable impact on
our LB 840 funds," Kuckkahn said.
Through standard procedures, the citys
LB 840 fund has the money for the request, he said.
"In terms of installments, we have
enough to satisfy their request," Kuckkahn said.
"There would be a lot of discovery that will have to take
place before we would do anything." |
