B.Kemron
Mike Baker said that the agency has been successful in keeping Kemron from obtaining the money. Mr. Newton asked about Parcel A; Mike said that until the Kemron issues are finalized it is not likely that any work will get done. Kemron filed a motion to seize $300,000 but the Agency was successful and the judge ruled in the Agency’s favor.
6:10 – Darrel Hartsfield joined the meeting
Brian, however, lost part of the motion and that money ($20,000+/-) came out of SSA’s funds; the appellate division arbitrator awarded Kemron $800,000.
C.Jersey Cooperage
Mike Baker said the judge is looking to hold a plenary hearing and this has been postponed for a couple of months as Mike wants one of his colleagues who is in active military duty to help with the hearings.
