Mr. Kohler agreed and said the good thing about the proposal is that the appearance of the signs are subdued and are aesthetically unified and similar in theme. However the Board does not have any authority to regulate the appearance of signage. Rather, the Board can only rule if and how the applicant can vary from the Zoning Code. Mr. Kohler noted that this particular property is in downtown, and therefore <font color="#ff0000"><strong>the design, material, and character of signage is subject to the approval of <u>the Historic Commission</u>.</strong> </font>In other locations in the city, there would be not review of design."</font></p></blockquote><div><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Imagine that!!!&nbsp; Leaving the "character of signage" in the hands of the very same group that deemed the plastering of two&nbsp;full walls of&nbsp;the building&nbsp;directly cater-corner across the street with <strong><em>JUNK AUTO HOODS</em></strong> to be <strong><em>appropriate</em></strong>!!! BWA HA HA!!!</font></div></div>]]>

This equates to either $22,500 or$26,250 in additional payroll tax to the city coffers, depending upon whether ornot the public safety tax passes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>It will also add nearly $28,000 per year tothe property tax income for the various entities involved. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Besides thenine sales, administrative and supervisory positions that will be transfereesfrom another location to Middletown, Akers will be hiring 18 new employees at about$19 per hour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This is good news forMiddletown.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>It is interesting to note that the City has STILL notclosed the sale of the CG&amp;E building, but the closure of the sale isanticipated to occur “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">soon</i></b>”!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>(Haven’t we been hearing this for quite sometime???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Exactly how long is “soon” innon-cityspeak???)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Also, the currentagreement with HEP doesn’t call for the payment of the $200,000 to be completeduntil 2/15/2013!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This makes me nervousas to what may happen if the enrollment projections aren’t met by 2/14/2013.</span><o:p></o:p></font></p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font>]]>
