PTARMIGAN LEASE
Ptarmigan
Lease Additional word changes were submitted by the Wiegner Group.
Ptarmigan Lease
City Attorney explained, of the amendments submitted, two were not agreeable
to her. Section 3.6 relating to automatic renewals upon default by the City to
respond where damage occures to the premises. Other section is 12.11 whereby
they are requesting arbitration by another body or court following appeal to
City Council.
Mr. Graham stated they would be Willing to accept any reasonable time limit
for the City to respond under Section 3.6.
Councilman DeGregorio moved to adopt the wording as it is and put in 90 days.
Seconded by Councilman Behrendt. All in favor except for Councilwoman Pedersen
who voted nay. Motion carried.
Section 7.5 was discussed as relates to paragraphs (a) and (b) being consistent.
Councilman DeGregorio moved the City accept one year. Seconded by Councilman
Behrendt. All in favor, motion carried.
Section 7.6 was discussed as relates to the rental insurance and whose
responsibility this should be. It was agreed by Mr. Graham they would assume
this expense and Mr. Graham's misunderstanding of the provision that the lease
termaintes at such time as total destruction of the building occurs and City
does not rebuild, was cleared up.
Section 12.11. The following statement was made by Mr. Graham as their
request: "We have an understanding that we will not make transfers for four
years. After four years we can make transfers under certain terms and conditions.
We have to get consent, consent won't be withheld except for reasonable cause
which is a normal provision. And, if the City Manager in our opinion is
unreasonable, he says okay you can appeal to the City Council. And if the City
Council is equally unreasonable, then we're out. Which in affect negates
the whole point of having reasonable cause. Somewhere along the line we
should have the right to go to an arbitrator and say we're being unfairly
treated there is no reasonable cause at all in this case, give us our rights.
We go to an independent body who is not involved in this thing directly and
we present our position as to why we think your being unreasonable. You present
your position as to why you think your being reasonable and a decision is made.
That is all we are asking for, we don't think this is unfair at all."
Mayor Standley stated he had agreed to this because if Council is the
arbitrator, the City will be arbitrating with themselves. 'City Attorney Pointed
out under arbitration the arbitrator looks to the face of the agreement and
the problem really arises in that it is impossible to anticipate what Council's
will come up with in the future as reasonable causes, therefore, could not be
arbitrated since they would not be included in the contract. Appeal was agreed
to previously, not arbitration.
FranchiSe and affiliations with franchise operations was discussed. Mr. Graham
stated they had no objection to a clause to exclude affiliation with franchise
operations without approval.
Councilman DeGregorio moved to approve Section 12.11 as they have changed it and
to include clause relating to franchise and affiliations. Seconded by
Councilwoman Markalunas. All in favor except for Councilmembers Pedersen
and Behrendt who voted nay. Motion carried.
Councilwoman Markalunas moved to reconsider previous approval of lease motion.
Seconded by Councilman DeGregorio. All in favor, except for Councilwoman
Pedersen who voted nay. Motion carried.
Councilwoman Markalunas moved to approve the lease as drafted to the Number Two
Main Corporation and as amended this date. Seconded by Councilman DeGregorio.
All in favor except for Councilwoman Pedersen who voted nay. Motion carried.
Mrs. Walter Paepcke stated her disappointment with the City in leaseing to the
Number Two Main Corporation, feel the facility should have gone to MAA and
other groups who help in supporting the community.
