Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,May 7, 2018 <br /> Page 13 <br /> Member McGehee asked about the top of range for entry-level people. <br /> Mr. Thompson noted entry level on the production floor is roughly $14 and that <br /> ranges north of$20. <br /> Member McGehee asked about staffing. <br /> Mr. Thompson noted CPC typically sources labor through a temp staffing agency. <br /> Once they have been there for a number of months, usually 4 to 6 months, then a <br /> full-time arrangement would be offered. <br /> Member McGehee asked about the 192 hourly people receive benefits. <br /> Mr. Thompson responded affirmatively. <br /> Member Laliberte noted the packet discusses moving the non-Minneapolis facili- <br /> ties. She asked whether the Malcolm Ave would stay in Minneapolis. <br /> Mr. Thompson confirmed that is correct. <br /> Rudy Watkins, Harvest Development Group, added there is a long-term lease at <br /> the Minneapolis site. For the foreseeable future, it will remain. <br /> Janette Widmeier, President of CPC, noted the building out of the facility was a <br /> large investment. Once the lease expires, the plan is to move out of that, but it <br /> does not make sense to do so now. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if CPC is primarily assembly or molding of plastics. <br /> Mr. Thompson responded CPC does limited molding, but that is an interest to so- <br /> lidify the supply chain. <br /> Member McGehee asked whether CPC would be machining parts and molding <br /> plastic parts. If so, she asked about the sorts of pollution that may happen. <br /> Mr. Thompson noted there is the plan to build a clean room at this facility as well. <br /> There would not be machining of metals at this site. <br /> Ms. Widmeier stated CPC does some assembly but not manufacturing of the met- <br /> als at this site. <br /> President Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming <br /> forward. <br />
