Jared Mitchell stated he appreciates them taking time to speak to discuss this matter. Jared Mitchell stated he works for Associated Foods and Khourys’ orders most of their food through them. Jared Mitchell says they help their members with development of new stores. Jared Mitchell stated they initially hoped to begin the project last July but when they received the construction bids they felt the costs were exceptionally high and the availability of contractors at the time was low so they postponed the project. Jared Mitchell stated they went back to bid in January and costs did not change but availability of contractors increased. Jared Mitchell stated with the high costs of construction they have had to reduce costs to proceed with the development. Jared Mitchell stated the project is currently 40% over budget but Khourys’ is very interested in coming to Carlin and their business is dedicated to the people they employ and the communities they serve. Jared Mitchell stated they are very grateful for any assistance the City can provide. c. Lonny Brown asked if there are any other initiatives that Khourys’ has approached them about or if money is the only thing they can help with. d. Mayor Holbrook stated they considered other options but they feel this is the best way to assist in the development of the store. e. Councilperson Margaret Johnston asked if they have a tentative timeline. f. Jared Mitchell stated they hope to begin construction in mid-March and they already have the permits in place. Jared Mitchell stated it will take about 6 months to build the store. g. Al Leavitt with Associated Foods stated he has the store on the schedule for merchandizing for September. h. Delinda Chase asked if the store would have a pharmacy. i. Sam Khoury stated they are trying but it is difficult. j. Lonny Brown asked about the drainage issues at the proposed location. k.
