COMMUNICATIONS FROM DAVID LEEZER - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR. Liza Folley President
of CIC gave a brief report about CIC. Current employment
is 165, which is a substanial growth from August of
0 this year. We are projecting sales and revenues for
~ the firm for next year of $18.7 million and that's
if they receive no additional projects. This projection
= is from what is now on the books. The first part of
m January we will add additional employees to bring the
company to 209. Our growth span over the year of 1987
Q will bring the company to 349 employees. Know one
could have anticipated our explosion in growth. We
were extremely fortunate to receive several good
contracts, and several jobs are long term and will
provide us with steady growth over the next several
years.
One of the reasons we have asked for an extension of
our loan payment to the 15th of January is since we
have had such an influx of contracts to us thru the
month of August and September, we were asked by several
of our suppliers to back our purchases with letters
of credit, backed by C/D's, since were buying 2& 3
million pounds of steel a month. So our funds are
locked up and we are also are asking the city to
restructure our loan, rather than have semi annual
payments to even out the cash flow situation.
Mayor Edwards said the Loan Committee recommended the
payment be deferred to January 15th 1987. And rearranqe
the loan payments to quarterly as was suggested. (The
loans are from CDAP and HHS funds).
Motion by Alderman May, second by Alderman Chapman,
to accept the recommendation of the Loan Committee.
Roll call. AYES - Aldermen Kovachevich, Zilly, Steck,
Sarff, Workman, Bohler, May, Chapman. NAYS - None.
Motion carried. 8 AYES 0 NAYS 0 ABSENT.
Dennis Dawson Secretary/Treasurer of Basement Dewatering
Systems, Inc. was present to give a brief update of
his business and requesting a$100,000 RDLF loan to
expand and develop new forms of baseborad systems and
increase their inventory. They hope to add additional
30 employees.
Alderman May asked how much of the $100,00 will be
used in town? Mr. Dawson replied all of it.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLIFF SAGASER - CITY ENGINEER. Tom Reid
was named "Employee of the Month for November." Tom makes ~
himself available at all hours without any pay or recognition.
A permit was asked for from IDOT to allow us to spend the
$300,000 grant funds. The permit was submitted on November
21st and a response came back from IDOT dated December llth
; with about 11 responses that need attention.
PUBLIC HEARING - 7:00 P.M. PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT. MAYOR Edwards explained the purpose
for the Public Hearing. This is a Tax Increment District
in the old Tempo building, and there is a new state statute
that was passed during the last calendar year, which was
intended to spur development thru out Illinois. And the money
that normally goes to the State of Illinois on Sales Tax would
come to the city, except 1%. Mr. Fred Palin has filed an
application with the City of Canton and its our duty to accept
the application.
Mayor Edwards asked for comments from the audience. Speakers:
Fred Palin President of Palin Inc. Were here tonight to consider
one more step in whether Canton and Fulton County can have
a super warehouse store. We consider at this time three things:
1. The concept of the super warehouse market. 2. How important
the super warehouse store would be for the City of Canton
and the market area. 3. And what happens if its not approved?
Although many of us including myself in this room are here
to voice a vested interest, its important that we fully
understand the ramifications and qualifications of this project.
11~
CONTINUED
In my opinion this matter goes far beyond the question whether
a grocery store should be built or not. A larger question
is whether we can reverse the flow of retail sales dollars
out of the City of Canton and the County of Fulton. The easy
decision for us is to do nothing. That would certainly be
the easiest thing for Day & Palin to do also. However, as
in so many times the case, the easy decision is not the best
decision. It is important to point out that were not wanting
to build just another grocery store.
We have commissioned extensive consumer search of market
analysis in the last 2 or 3 years of the North Main location.
Market analysis has identified we do not need another
conventional grocery store. That in fact another conventional
grocery store would cut the pie into simply smaller pieces.
Consumer search and market analysis has indicated that
approximately one-third of the food market potential is leaving
~ the area. For the purpose of the super warehouse format we
~ would simply be looking at a much larger marketing area. If
~ we consider the potential of a conventional store as being
= unlimited to several blocks, or perhaps even a few miles radius
around the store, we would probably not identify that 34~
m cut. However, if we consider the market area as reaching
Q say to South of Farmington, North of Lewistown, East of Cuba
and West of the river we are then correctly recognizing Canton's
primary potential customers.
With this is mind the first area I would like to touch upon
is the concept of the food warehouse market. How does it
differ from a conventional store or even a limited variety
warehouse such as ours? Price. A super warehouse market
does have a lower price structure than conventional stores,
reflecting a trade off of services. Size. A super warehouse
is generally larger than the average conventional store in
its sales area. Variety. There's expanded variety particularly
in national brands and its compared to a limited variety
warehouse concept which offers full perishables, bakery deli,
meat and produce. Material Handling Efficiencys. Are built
and designed so I might say, so we can handle on pallets.
Another efficiency to support is price differential. The
Market Niche. This is for the consumer who is willing to
trade service for price. The most important difference however,
is the trade area, its been demonstrated a super warehouse
market area can range from thirty to fifty miles. I know
several of you who know people who have been to the County
Market in Pekin and even Cub in Bloomington. These are 2
examples of existing super warehouse formats.
You have read in the Ledger that there are 3 more locations
scheduled to open in Peoria and Tazewell counties, and at
least one in Springfield. I think it might be important to
point out that over Thanksgiving you may have noticed a picture
in the Ledger, it shows a Canton church getting ready to
distribute food that was purchased at a county market in both
of these areas. These consumers are going out of town, not
because they don't want to buy in Canton, but because they
have no super warehouse option. And that brings me to our
second point, why is this project so important to Canton and
Fulton County? From the advantage point of this group tonight,
11g
CONTINUED
if I could only make one point that everyone here would agree
with! I would make one terribly important statement, please
remember this!!! What we as a group are faced with is a
steadily erroding base of the metro area if we do not offer
this alternative to our existing consumers. There's absolutely
no doubt about this, just ask your neighbor. We need to look
at this not as a question of the existing conventional stores
verses the purposed lowest market, rather its a question of
Canton and Fulton County keeping the existing sales from going
to Peoria and the Pekin area. Likewise our financial experts
tell us that none of the new developments are starting today
without some type of incentive financing.
Its important to understand that in this context TIF does
not create an unfair advantage for local retailers. TIF only
puts Canton markets on an equal footing with the metro ~area.
We feel its necessary to stop this errosion now. And not
wait until its 40 or 45~.
We currently have the tool available to us to allow this to
happen, and cetainly this tool is the TIF district. However,
this window of opportunity will disappear after December 31
of this year.
Now what does this mean to each of us? To the people who
work in local food stores including Day & Palin stores, this
concept is not goint to go away. Industry experts tell us
that consumers are going to increasingly migrate this format.
The jobs will follow consumers to Peoria & Pekin if somethings
not done to stop the flow out of town.
For our fellow conventional store operators, we operate four
stores in this area. We must take advantage of our strengths,
forming even more effectively. We need to work harder to ~
satisfy the needs of that large segament of market that's
unwilling to trade services for prices.
For retailers who are not included by this, I will submit
that this concept will effect all segments of the retailing
economy. Whether we realize it or not we are all contributors
to the success or failure of each other.
The last and most important issue, what happens if the project
fails? As we said, there are four things...first the
opportunity to use state sales tax dollars to support the
local economy is lost. Second, retail sales, food and non-food
alike will continue to errod. Third, one of the Alderman
has asked what would happen if the project were approved perhaps
using 8 or 3 percent interest? The answer to this is simple,
the project would not fly. This project would not work with
more that 3~ money. Fourth, TIF districts are being put into
place by many aggressive communities throught the State of
Illinois. If Canton does not utilize this unique sales tax
provision in the TIF district, Canton and Fulton County will
give up leadership position to these competing communities
in the area. In conclusion, I'd like to ask a question? Could
it possibly be that 34o market that silent minority, who would
really like to buy in Canton if they had the opportunity!

CONTINUED December 16, 1986
John Davis Co-Owner of D&K Food Park. The thing that I would
like to point out in the grocery industry 1~ is the national
average of net profit. Will Mr. Palin be able to put in a
store here, and maybe the net profit for a super warehouse
store would be somewhat less? I really don't know. In the
event that he does at a 3~ finacing rate it does put into
perspective for us a real competitive edge. We can't compete
with that. Right now the four stores that are here, we compete
basicially on the same level.
We feel that when someone runs a gallon of milk on sale
basically we know what it cost and were all paying for our
money on conventional loan rates. And we feel we live here,
we work here, we try to compete with each other on an equal
bases, and we don't feel that's really what the city wants
to do to us, but, we don't feel its real fair to us. The
edge is what each competitor is looking for. Whether its
O by the way he merchandizes his product, whether by the way
~ he keeps his store neat and clean. There is no question that
~ a super warehouse store, yes, its very important, is part
= of the world today, but for the city to give the edge!! Were
not questioning whether or not they should be able to bring
(n the store into town. Its whether or not he should get the
Q money at 3$. Everybody on the council got a copy of the letter
I wrote. Most everyone read the one Mr. Palin had, he proposed
that he would have an increase of 90 jobs. We don't feel
the increase of 90 jobs is really a reality. Maybe 90 jobs,
but not new jobs. Right now I can see most of the people
here are employees, not only of my store, but the other 3
remaining stores.
We all have an interest in it, we all spend money in the
community, we all have an active part in the community. Not
only in our business but also civic and economic ways. What
we would like to do is let you know that we feel like the
city council should back us up in our feelings.
I know Mr. Palin had a market survey done that says 34~ of
the business leaves town and maybe he can control some of
that business leaving town. I'm not sure, and I don't have
a study that states yes the 34~ grocery dollar leaves Canton
or whether it stays. Based on talking to people from those
who lived in this community quite awhile and worked in the
grocery business, they say, well I don't see how its possible,
but it could be. We don't feel that way, we just say no,
I don't think 34~ leaves.
I think the competition level in town with the four stores
here is pretty high. And I think the level of Mr. Palin's
store isn't going to make groceries that much cheaper overall
for the consumer, sure its going to be somewhat cheaper. But
I don't think you'l1 see a great amount of increase. In the
event Mr. Palin puts in his store we feel like maybe he doesn't
think he'll compete with us because he's a super store and
were conventional super markets. But however, were still
going to loose business. Say we loose ~ of our business each
store that's here, those are retail sales dollars that the
city looses.
Were not saying Mr. Palin shouldn't be able to come to town
and compete with us, we welcome the competition, that's the
american way. But we feel like it should be on a equal and
fair bases.
120
CONTINUED
And 3o money is not really a fair bases.
John read a section of the Daily Ledger that was dated on
August 8, 1986, which a study was financed through a grant
to Spoon River College to assist the college's Small Business
Development center in identifying those businesses where new
entrants or expansion of existing business would have the
highest probability of success.
John said he didn't have enough money to go out an get a survey
but felt this was just find. John said Mr. Palin made a
statement sometime back, he made a statement that he wanted
support of the community and without 1000 of that support ,
he did not want to be in Canton. And, I think some of these
people here represent part of the time and part of that
percentage that object to him coming, but to the amount of
interest he could receive.
Jerry Rosenberger Mananger Rroger's. I probably represent
the only chain. I second the last thing John Davis said. Its
the truth, any time you open a competitive business like
groceries your going to loose jobs, your going to gain jobs
in that new store, and you are going to trade off jobs. And
your going to trade off at a lesser payroll then I have to.
I have people who have worked for me that have done so and
raised their families, their husbands were laid off at Harvester
and Caterpillar, and their the soul support. You may hire
3 or 4 people out there at $3.45 and $3.75 per hour. But
they won't replace those jobs and income the men and women
make working for me. There is alot of things in this report
that refers to experts. I've got thirty-two years in the
business.
Leonard Lasco from IGA. Basically I'm the owner of IGA. John
is a very good competitor and Jerry I don't know to well.
Were all good worthy competitors. And I have to back them
100~. My supplier is probably the largest supplier of retail '
groceries in the U.S. and they tell me that within 6 months,
2 of the 3 independent stores in town will be closing their
doors. No question, it will be diluting the work force.
Alderman Charles Chapman. Asked Mr. Palin you made reference
in your statement several times to your survey, who took this
survey? Fred Palin answered, we've taken several surveys
Mr. Chapman. Super Value who is the supplier for the local
IGA, they did one for us in 1984. Most recently in June of
1986 the Layout Corporation has taken an additional survey
for us. All of our analysis has been directed really at the
grocery business.
Alderman Linda Zilly asked Fred Palin about the 340 of the
market that is leaving Canton, does that include food dollars,
or is that in cars, clothing and miscellaneous? Mr. Palin
answered, that's true dollar potential. Alderman Zilly asked
do you still intend to come to the council and ask for a license
to sell beer and wine? Mr. Palin answered yes, they would.
Alderman Vic Kovachevich asked, that in your type of store
I'm sure your going to employ fewer employees than you would
in a conventional type store. Is this correct? Mr. Palin
answered yes sir, that's a fair statement. Our projection
121
CONTINUED December 16, 1986
would show, based on our warehouse market approach we would
end up with 52 full-time equivalence. Not all 52 would be
full-time jobs. The remaining portion of that would be coming
from other shops we would be developing in the area.
Mayor Edwards stated, Mr. Palin your quite aware that ordinances
on the books would prohibit a liquor license for a grocery
store! Mr. Palin answered yes sir, I had that question posed
by 2 or 3 aldermen as I talked to them. My response to that
is, we feel as Kroger did a few months ago, the alcoholic
beverage department simply adds that full spectrum of shopping
that is being offered in other areas. We do not feel its
a make or break sort of situation. But feel it is something
that should be considered as were trying to be competitive
with our neighboring communities.
Alderman Workman asked if any of these former gentlemen have
~ the opportunity to apply for the loan similar to what we have
~ now? Mayor Edwards said this is a new state statute that's
~ been available to everyone. I don't know if anyone has
= considered it or not. It's in effect till midnight December
~ 31st. Alderman Chapman said he understood that this TIF
financing could only be in a development area? Mayor Edwards
Q said it has to be in a blighted area. Alderman Chapman said
probably know other store would have been eligible anyway?
Alderman Larry Sarff asked to refresh his memory concerning
the IRB's that Kroger's floated thru the city less than 3
years ago. Mayor Edwards stated they were $800,000 at an
interest rate of 8~. The city was a pass thru to get tax
free bonds.
Mayor Edwards asked one more time if anyone wanted to address
the Public Hearing.
Alderman Jim May stated that he has studied the proposals
and has talked to many people. And cannot come up where its
going to help Canton that much. Mayor Edwards said you will
not be making a decision toniqht, that's in two weeks. Alderman
May said he talked to the grocery owners and they feel their
going to get some of them out of business. They have no
objections to your opening a store, but its unfair to the
city to provide the money. Jim asked Mr. Palin if 90 people
would be employed? Mr. Palin answered, no sir, we feel the
current employment area will be about 90. Jim continued to
say, I hope the women and men on this council will see what
is going to happen, what I have attempted to say about the
interest rate the city is now using. I propose a 9o interest
rate be applied to all future loans made by the city. Mayor
Edwards said Alderman May you should know were not loaning
money on this project. He's going to borrow his money from
conventional sources. Jim May continued with by saying most
of the people I have contacted are paying between 16 and 18~~
on their loans.
