The lease between Cenveo and the city has been extended for five years

KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- A roofing replacement at the Cenveo Corporation building is now underway.

Cenveo, formerly known as Commercial Envelope, leases the old Standard Register Building located on Industrial Road. In October 2014, the roof of the building was damaged by a fire.

The Kirksville City Council and the corporation reached an agreement in December to both extend the lease and replace the roof. Cenveo will pay up to $237,000 for the project.

"During the negotiations with that lease extension, the roof replacement came into play and basically Cenveo is paying for about half of the roof," said Kirksville Codes and Planning Director Brad Selby.

Thelease between Cenveo and the cityhas been extended for five years. The city also receives a monthly fee of $10,000 from Cenveo for the use of the building.

The Cenveo plant is also looking to complete more improvements including alighting upgrade. Kirksville City Council members will vote on the possible lighting upgrade at a meeting in the future.

County Administrator Bryan Hill unveiled a proposed $187.7 million budget for fiscal year 2016 on Wednesday afternoon, including an 8.2 cent increase in the real estate tax rate. The tax hike would boost the real estate tax from 77 cents per $100 of assessed value to 85.2 cents.

The tax increase, if passed, would be the first for James City County in nearly two decades. But getting that done will be contentious as a trio of conservative groups have already launched a campaign to oppose any tax hikes. Adding to the political pressure is three of the boards seats are up for election this fall.

Starting Thursday evening, the Board of Supervisors will host individual meetings in each of their districts to discuss the budget.

Hill stressed the budget was a "fiscally conservative plan" aimed at addressing long-needed items for the county.

"As your county administrator, I was hired to bring a fresh set of eyes to county operations and to go out into the community to listen to the citizens," Hill wrote in a memo to the Board of Supervisors.

"The Board of Supervisors stressed their desire to move the county forward, maintain our AAA bond rating and our quality community," Hill said.

"In reviewing operations, there is a need to address the inevitable challenges associated with a decreasing water supply, stormwater, schools, economic development and the appearance of the county, which includes aging infrastructure, increased capital maintenance as well as ensuring our attractiveness to numerous tourists."

Without the tax increase, Hill said the budget was otherwise fiscally flat, just $200,000 above the plan approved last year by the board at $178.7 million.

"I have five strategic initiatives, tell me what you would like to do, tell me what you would like not to do," Hill said, referring to the upcoming budget discussions.

Centralized Power System From Cirus Controls Makes Installation of Electronic Snowplow Truck Equipment Easier and Faster; See It at the 2015 APWA North American Snow Conference, Grand Rapids, Mich., April 12-15, Booth 739

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - March 31, 2015) - PowerSmart from Cirus Controls is a new centralized power and accessories wiring system for snowplow trucks. The compact circuit assembly panel fits between or under truck seats and provides a central power and connection point for switches, sensors, relay controlled devices and Cirus snow and ice removal equipment. Easy to install, the system allows upfitters to standardize truck body wiring across multiple end users and equipment sets, making installations more trouble-free and faster. Common wiring, labels and LED indicators on the panel simplify electronic installations, reduce errors and make troubleshooting straightforward.

Cirus Controls developed the PowerSmart panel after listening to the needs of snowplow truck upfitters and dealers. "Installers across the country told us that every day they face the challenge of wide variation in chassis and equipment sets, and are looking for help organizing the power sources and wiring when installing electrical equipment on a truck," said Paul Mortell, CEO and Founder of Cirus Controls. "Based on these industry insights, we used our in-house engineering and manufacturing skills, and over 90 years of experience in the snow and ice removal industry to develop the PowerSmart," said Mortell.

The PowerSmart's panel's main power capacity is 12 volts DC, 120 amps continuous, when connected to a vehicle battery with 4 AWG (American wire gauge) wire. The power contacts or connections for the PowerSmart include 12 volt general purpose power points with individual fuses up to 30 amps each.

The PowerSmart's switch interfaces and control relays are each powered by a 10-amp fuse. The circuit panel's extra relays allow installers to "plug and play" for specific functions. Sensor inputs on the panel have individual 5-amp fuses. For organization and troubleshooting, LED's display individual channel status and label IDs are included for each function.

"A tool like the PowerSmart has been needed for a long time in the snowplow truck upfit industry," said Mortell."Even though it's not sexy, the PowerSmart will help truck upfitters and dealers save time, and that means more consistent snowplow truck installs today and better troubleshooting over the life of the truck."

Cirus Controls is an exhibitor at the 2015 APWA (American Public Works Association) North American Snow Conference in Grand Rapids, Mich., April 12-15, booth 739. Stop by the booth and learn more about Cirus Controls' line of snow and ice removal equipment and accessories.
