At the cookout, she jokes, “he didn’t do a very good job with the hamburgers–but that’s not his job.”
Barker echoes her praise for staff. Applause from some of the audience.
Next, the pedestrian crossing plan: Kisela simply notes that they’re continuing to work with the DOT on it so there’s no action on it now.
Then the parking-lot discussion. In essence, the lease proposal from St. Andrew’s is financially a better deal, but the Clancy land is in a much better position for a parking lot. Jerry Miller reports that one issue, the presence of tenants on the Clancy property, is largely wrapped up (that’s simplifying, Jerry, I know).
Kisela: Basically this comes down to whether you want to lease or buy; there are pros or cons either way. So staff would like direction.
Seevers: A couple of questions. First, can the Clancy rep confirm that they intend to close. “The last time someone was here, they said they did not intend to close.”
Sean Clancy (president) steps up with counsel. Counsel says they have every intent to close, despite some stumbling blocks, but the company is working to resolve everything. The Lamar lease, which has an ending date of Feb. 28 is the only major issue and that can be terminated with 60 days notice; they’re trying to terminate earlier.
