Voting No: Councilmember McGlone. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Consider Lease Property Purchased from PSG, LLC at 6811 Highway 10 <br />NW <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wise thought that there had been an issue in regard to the utility type conditions <br />in past lease options and wanted to ensure that the City was properly protected. <br /> <br />Mr. Deal stated that the reference to Pro Sports would be Pro Power. He explained the split <br />between the companies that had recently occurred in regard to liability issues. He stated that the <br />current lease for the land was with T AMM Corporation and advised that if the Council wished, <br />they could renegotiate the lease contract with them. He stated that the $1,600 lease option may <br />be below market value at this time but explained that the rate could be renegotiated in September <br />2010. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey questioned why the lease back term conversation did not occur prior to the sale <br />of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Deal explained that they have been close to settling several times before and have been <br />working on this for the past six months. He explained that it is very complicated because it <br />involves so many different parties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen questioned what the middle and high-end rates would be in terms of <br />leasing the property. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan stated that it is difficult to fmd comparables for <br />this type of use. He stated that this information was given from the realtor and explained that the <br />other values were not given because of the tough economic times, especially along Highway 10. <br />He stated that staff thought it was a fair request to continue with this lease and renegotiate after <br />the one plus year term. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wise stated that this would only be a one-year lease and after that term, a <br />contact could be negotiated with T AMM Corporation for a new dollar amount. He did not think <br />that anything was currently being sold or leased at market value. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look questioned how there was a binding lease on the property if the City were <br />purchasing the property. <br /> <br />City Council / July 28, 2009 <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />
