6 Project Charter

In January of this year, our community lost Bob Schmidt, Administer of the Monroe County Health Department, to cancer. The MoCHA is the product of Bob's vision to improve and support the health of Monroe County residents. This assessment is a process-it involves the community in identifying community health needs and the development of public health priorities throughout the townships of Monroe County.

The assessment will be collecting data from many data bases to create a community data health book. This health data will be brought to the community through a series of Township Town Meetings in order for residents to identify health problems and evaluate the community's health issues and priorities.

Lack of current health data that represents the jurisdiction of Monroe county, in terms of statistical data and identification of critical health issues and needs by county residents, inhibits proper evaluation of services and programs that are appropriate for the needs of the community.

Community health assessments capture the health of the community by presenting information on the health status, community health needs, resources, and health services infrastructure. Often these assessments are led by local health departments based on directives from state-level health agencies. The purpose of this project is to conduct an integrated and comprehensive health assessment using community-based participatory research methods (CBPR) to create a geographic information systems atlas and community epidemiology data base that includes a socio-demographic asset profile of the county by townships (n=11 ). This community-led research seeks to identify target populations that may be at increased risk of poor health outcomes and provide more meaningful health policies and programs that can drive policy making at the county and state scale. This assessment also works with community members to understand the larger community environment and how it relates to the health of individuals.

MoCHA aims to collect data on: · Public Health Emergency Preparedness ·Chronic diseases: asthma, obesity, diabetes · Infectious diseases: tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections · Behavioral Health issues ·Causes ofmortality

1

7 Results will be used to: · Help community members analyze and prioritize health issues on a local level ·Influence local, county-wide and state health initiatives ·Serve as a successful template for health assessments in other communities

Using CBPR methods, this assessment is comprised of core indicators as determined by the community in terms of leading cause of morbidity and mortality. This in turn will be collected and compared to health surveillance data and epidemiologic data from local department, hospitals, clinics, and health centers. Secondary data will then be integrated into local core indicator data. This data will be vetted by the community through a series of Town Hall Meetings in each of the 11 districts (Townships) of Monroe County, Indiana and supplemented by local data from agencies and organizations that assess the health and well being of their target populations. Health planning and programming priorities will be collected and presented to policymakers and agencies.

Community-led assessment illustrates contextual and significant local interpretation and analysis of the local health data that does not always align with state-wide health planning and programming. Results also show that continuous, interactive local process with regular updates of the information to support and reinforce local county health initiatives make health planning more relevant to everyday residents. This process allows for continual scan of the local health environment for changes in conditions and emerging health issues which may result in local strategies.

No coordinated community health assessment process is currently in place.

10 MoCHA will assess the geographic disparities in health and prioritize the public health needs of residents of Monroe County, Indiana, using community-based participatory research methods, town meetings. The objective is to determine the range of social, economic, and environmental resources needed for improved health on a population level in the townships of Monroe County

Phase one: November 2007 to March 2008­ Local health, environmental, socio-economic, demographic, and preparedness data is being collected. This phase is near completion.

Phase two: April 2008 to July 20008- Under the leadership of eleven Township Trustees and the Monroe County Health Department, two rounds of town meetings that represent various segments of the township population will be conducted. Incentives such as free childcare, gift cards, food, health screenings and health information will be available.

Phase three: August 2008 to November 2008- "Report Back" Town Meeting: The Monroe County Health Department and Indiana University will conduct and disseminate the findings from Phase One and Phase Two. Recommendations for health programming and policymaking will be presented to the Monroe County Health Board and representatives from the Indiana State Department of Health.

Leveraging the power of local communities and their participation illustrates the importance of context specific health planning and policy making that seeks to address community-led health needs. The research findings provide insight for local governmental agencies that plan to devote scarce public health resources to programs that support the health needs of their diverse communities. Community­ led participatory research not only catalogues multiple health related activities in the community, helping to meet a broad community-wide assurance role, but also helps justify local and state budget appropriations and locally-driven program development.

With funding obtained through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's (IDEM) Section 319 grant program, the Hoosier Environmental Council completed a "Watershed Management Plan for Restoration and Protection of Bean Blossom Creek and Lake Lemon" to address water quality issues. The watershed plan examines land use within the drainage area and urges improved public awareness about factors affecting land use management and water quality. Better coordination between federal, state and local government agencies, economic development interests and water quality specialists will enable protection of this valuable resource well into the future.

The Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District is taking the lead to put this plan into action. Representatives from several area agencies have come together to coordinate on this effort and will apply for another IDEM Section 319 grant to implement the recommendations brought forth in the plan.

REQUESTED FUNDING WILL BE USED FOR SEVERAL PRIORITY PROJECTS. THESE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: • Installing riparian buffers along stream bank corridors • Discussing conservation easements with interested landowners • Developing rain gardens, pervious pavement, and green roof demonstration areas • Promoting cost-share programs for agricultural, industrial and residential best management practices • Developing education materials and offering workshops on a variety of water quality topics

100 DRAFT MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE MONROE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

Monday July 28, 2008 at 4 PM Nat U. Hill, III Meeting Room at the Monroe County Courthouse

The Monroe County Economic Development Commission (the "EDC") held a meeting at 4:00 PM on July 28,2008 in Nat U. Hill Meeting Room ofthe Monroe County Courthouse in Bloomington, Indiana. Members present were Lynn Coyne, Regina Moore and Greg Travis. Staff present included County Attorney Jeff Cockerill and Community Development Director Aaron Platt. Members ofthe public included Bloomington Economic Development Corporation President Ron Walker, Author Soltuions Human Resource Director Chris Schraeder and Tim Cook ofKats, Sapper and Miller.

Roll was called and the meeting began.

1. Discussion ofTax Abatement Application for Author Solutions 4:05-5:00

Mr. Cockerill said that this was a two step process for the council, and that's why there were two recommendations before them. The first step is to declare the property an Economic Revitalization Area (ERA) and the second step would be to recommend approval ofthe statement ofbenefits (SB­ 1), which would be to approve the tax abatement. Currently the council's resolution that outlines tax abatements calls for 4 jobs at $12 an hour, which is more than done by Author Solutions. The benefit to the EDC is the opportunity to speak with representatives from the company.

Ms. Moore asked for some introduction from Author Solutions.

Mr. Walker introduced Mr. Schreader and Mr. Cook. Mr. Cook thanked everyone and began to explain- Author House has been looking at future growth and consolidation opportunities and what their options are throughout the process. Whether the Monroe County, the local community, can support the project, and what Author House brings to the community. Not only their partnership with IU and hiring from Campus but also some ofthe benefits and some the other aspects ofemployment. That is what our firm's roll has been up to now.

Mr. Shraeder stated that Author House is actually a brand. Author Solutions, Inc. is the legal identity of the company. That was not a huge issue when we only had the one brand, but as we began developing our own brands and started acquiring then you had some contacts throughout Author Solutions, Inc. So ifyou went out and did a web search now you would hit Author Solutions and you'd find our brands. The company started in Bloomington by frustrated entrepreneurs couldn't get their manuscripts published in the traditional fashion which is you send it offto Random House or someone like that and somebody looks at it -you hope. And they send it back to you and tell you no. They felt there had to be another way and started out finding that way. When you move forward today there are a lot ofcompanies involved in this space. Amazon has taken a pretty big footprint with Book Serge, which is a competitor. Competition is springing up all across the globe. Our

101 efforts have been to grow this company in Bloomington. We're a nine-year-old corri}~e the largest in our space. One of the unique advantages that Bloomington provides us with is an artistic community and the University that provides us with a consi~tent flow that will truly be durable. Human capital that is talented and that we can deploy into our· business model, and do so in such a way that we'll create jobs to consume that within Bloomington. Be able to draw that talent from the University to leverage what we have in Bloomington as a significant artistic community and then translate that into a company that is powerful in its space. We also have a lot ofroles that touch the customer. Especially in the Author House brand that defines itself in its space as being one that as you're publishing your book, you can certainly get information off the web, but if you actually have to talk to a person or you want to you can. They're going to know about your book and they're going to about what you do. That is really rare in business today, and it's even rarer still in our space where most brands to this day try to define themselves by lower cost and how they treat that cost is by not providing a very high level ofservice. Bloomington, once again, provides a very deep pool of individuals who are well educated, well spoken, who we can put in a variety ofrolls throughout that process to talk to the author. This is really critical to our success, because whether or not the authors are highly educated or well read or well spoken or even well written, they perceive themselves that way. Itis very important to all ofour brands that the individuals that they speak to at any part ofthe process come across in the same way. They want to know that individual's there. Bloomington really provides that unique nexus that from my standpoint I cannot see that we can replicate this in the State. Quite frankly, we had it up in Indy. We would have a significant level ofcompetition for that same talent. Bloomington is the spot and this is where we choose to aggressively grow.

Currently. over 70% oftheir Bloomington workforce is actually Monroe County residents. There is a real effort on their part to work within Monroe County to fill positions within the company.

This a request for abatement on personal property? So this is going to be office equipment or what?

It would be primarily computers and IT related equipment.

There is a large variation in the property value- $1.6 to $4.9 million.

The reason for that is they have a fairly significant - we are not sure how the majority of the investment is going be classified for abatement purposes.

The way abatement works in Indiana is you can have abatement ofpersonal property ifit's logistics warehouse, ifit's manufacturing, or ifit's IT related. We're not sure out ofthat $4.9 million- $1.6 we know is things like computers and IT for certain; there's a $2.3 million component ofit that we just don't know how it's going to be classified when they go to file their tax returns, so that's the only reason for that.

Can you speak to what that component is ifit's not computers?

Basically it's an IT platform to allow them to enhance and expand what they're currently doing. From our standpoint, we don't know how it will be classified until they actually do a tax return. I will tell you that everything we have predicated everything up to this point to the abatement being

102 based on the $1.6 million. The only reason we have the range in there is because we don't kn,.Q:w what that extra fee will be classified. ffi~~-li

Because you· do not pay property tax on software in Indiana, to the extent that some ofthat or all ofit be classified as software, that would also affect whether or not it would even qualify for an abatement. We are not trying be vague to be vague. We can be very clear about computers. This is R&D.

On the spreadsheets that we got, it shows 180 employees to be retained at an hourly wage of$22.00. Then you are going add employees at an hourly wage of$15.00. In this piece ofpaperwork, it says that at full employment total payroll is estimated to be $4 million, at an average salary of $14.00. The math doesn't add up. Youhaveanhourlyrateof$22.00 and addingsomeat$15.00, so the math is disconnecting somewhere.

Part of the confusion is that when we implied for incentives at the State level that State level of projection goes out over a 10 year period oftime. The wages that are provided when you're talking about the $14 and those numbers, those are the numbers that Author House feels very comfortable saying purposes oftax abatement. We're going to meet those and we're going to meet those fairly early on in the process. Depending on what kind ofjobs are going to be created over a period of time, their goal is to really knock the target out ofthe park not only based on the number ofjobs but also based on the wages. That is the reason for the discrepancy that you see.

lfl understand this right, you are already well above the $14 with your current employees.

Yes, there are enough people in place right now that are executive and senior management people that you will still have some ofthose people being added over a period oftime. You '11 never have them being added two years from now like they were when you were starting the company. A lot of the people who are being added as part ofthis project are going to be people that are going to be on the lower scale ofthe wage spectrum.

They would have to added at a very low wage level to bring your average down to $14, unless I'm missing something.

Aaron- explaining how information was put together (couldn't hear)

There was a discussion as to how the average was arrived at.

I'm trying to reconcile- the employees to be added is 100 at $15 an hour. Ifyou've already got 180 at $22 an hour, I can't see your average wage getting anywhere near $14. It would be significantly­

(Garbled)

More back and forth discussion about how average was reached.

There is also the issue ofthe benefits package. What percentage ofemployees are eligible for these

103 benefits?

Almost everybody is eligible. We have very few roles that are part-time at such a low threshold that they simply don't qualify for benefits whatsoever. I can only think ofone.

So eligibility is based on the number ofhours? Ifyou're a full time employee, you will get benefits.

If you're a part time employee, you're eligible as long was you work 32 hours. But you're talking about 401K, I was thinking more on the lines of health benefits. We have so few of those roles. They're overwhelmingly full time positions.

I have something here that says 50% have health benefits.

That's how many take the benefits. Not all who are eligible take the benefits.

When we originally applied, we stated 23%. When Chris went through and did the spreadsheet, it actually went up quite a bit. Itbecame $6+ an hour ofbenefit for every $15 in wages. We think the 23% is fairly low.

Regina If someone worked 20 hours per week, would they be eligible for these benefits?

I believe on the medical it 30 hours. I didn't bring all SPDs with me so I think the threshold for disability and life was lower than that. 401K is based on hours worked in the year for eligibility.

How many people do you have working part time?

We have only one and she declined, because her husband has insurance.

The Employer Retirement Income Security Act requires when you have this many employees that once they reach so many hours per year, they must receive benefits. It is not an option. It varies on the kind ofbenefit whether it is a 1,000/1,200 a year. Some might think ofthemselves as part time or hourly, but once they reach that threshold then they must receive certain benefits. It is required.

Regina Do you use temporary employees a lot?

Very rarely. We have used temporary laborers from time to time ifwe get into a real crunch. We have found with one service that we work with that they do an outstanding ofscreening so we will do what we call from temp to hire. So we'll bring them into the job and ifthey're performing well then we go ahead and buy out the remainder of their agreement and convert them into employees. We've done that twice. We have independent contractors working on IT projects. I don't consider them temporary laborers. I consider them independent contractors. Our scope ofwork doesn't lend itself well to temporary labor.

104 Regina At one time did you use a lot oftemporary workers?

No, you are right. When I first came to the company, they had just changed the platform. They had to create a customer service unit out ofwhole cloth. They worked with a temporary agency to staff that because they needed the volume ofpeople immediately. So when I first came aboard, they were using three different agencies to staff that unit. When we got this established, we stopped using temporary agencies and went to direct hire.

Regina The other question I had about your employees is the spreadsheet says 60% and earlier in the meeting it was given as 70% from Monroe County. Where are the other people from?

We have them from surrounding counties.

So these are not people who are located in New York or California or something like that.

No, they're not in those numbers. Indianapolis as far away as those numbers go.

Regina Can you talk a little more about the relocation ofthe jobs from China to Bloomington.

iUniverse, a brand we purchased that was based in Lincoln, was founded by a Chinese businessman. From the outset, China was a component ofthat brand. The iUniverse brand performed the same steps and tasks that you went through to get a book performed. They had a dividing line so that when it came to having the manuscript put in a technical format so they could actually publish it as a book. When it came to the design ofcovers, original art, or manipulation ofart provided by others, all of that was done in China. The minute the manuscript came in it got shipped over to China, electronically of course. Sales, customer service, high end editorial service is done in the United States. We are in the process ofbringing those in-house.

One of the things that differentiates us in the marketplace is our ability to create a cover for an author. Authors sometimes send a picture or just have a concept ofwhat they are looking for. That is the reason why these jobs need to be in the US, and why they are best offto be in Bloomington because at the end ofthe day authors will use colloquialisms, they'll use terms to describe what they want done and these don't necessarily translate well across cultures. We saw in working with China that what it took them six passes to do we did in generally one.

This is offthe topic, but the employees and their family members have the ability to get two books published per year through Author House. That is a unique benefit.

So where are your authors from? Are they mainly from the United States?

Overwhelmingly from the US. We have authors across the world, but the lion's share is in the United States.

105

One more question. Sometimes when tax abatements are reviewed, we find that a \ID~~company is not in compliance or not in compliance with their statement ofbenefits, because of reasons beyond their control, market fluctuations and problems like that. Can you talk a little bit about your market. Obviously, you're thinking that you're going to do really well, but what problems would there be that we might not foresee that we might need to ask you about.

That's probably best for my CEO or marketing or sales to talk about, but I'll give it my best swing. The short answer is we do not know the specificity. On one hand, the purchase ofa book could not possibly be classified with fuel to get to work or food or shelter or things like that. And yet we bounce it offpeople's intense desire to publish. I really can't measure it any other way. The other thing that I think gives us such intense confidence of growth is that even today most people don't know you can do this. The number of writers vastly outnumbers, dwarfs, the number of readers. That is a huge advantage that we have over traditional publishing, because lots ofpeople can write for reasons that don't have anything to do with sales or volume or anything like that. We get lots of people who write for a very specific audience. It's an asymmetrical business model. That's why it's hard for me to explain how it would behave against an overall economic backdrop. A significant percentage of our authors are older, 50's and 60's. This is, especially in the United States, the wealthiest cohort that we have. They've done what they want to do and now they want to tell the stories. I think that will be a durable drive with individuals and I think that that will carry us in a certain market segment for some time.
