The company would hire a branch manager and several local employees if an agreement is reached.“I don’t see any issues, but it’s also in the preliminary stages, so it’s hard to anticipate how everything will fall together,” he said.City attorney Jerry Larson will be involved in drafting the contract proposal, which will put everything in writing for both parties. Massey said once the parties agree to general terms, it would likely take several weeks or longer for everyone to fine tune the details.
