His committee met prior to council’s last regular meeting and sponsored the legislation, which was given a first reading Monday night.The only public discussion of the issue prior to its passage was a request for approval by Mayor Michael Taylor, read in his absence by Service Director Jim Zucal, that stated: “Select Energy’s new jobs will be a great benefit for the city and area as a whole.”Taylor previously had informed council members that SES officials are looking at a site on the city’0s west end for its servicing location, and had estimated they will create in excess of 100 jobs working out of the location.Company officials had told the committee that New Philadelphia is their preferred site location because of the high visibility and the easy access from Interstate 77, because they are primarily in the water (transport) industry, Zucal had said.
