CityCouncil | 2016-03-01 | 16 | Course: Norma Arnerich, Alameda. Provided a brief history of the Golf Commission at the golf course; stated that he supports Jim's on the Course: Former Councilmember Lil Arnerich, Alameda. Stated the terms of the concession agreement are very detailed; Mr. Geanekos would be happy to clarify any issues: Richard Waxman, Dialemi, Inc. Urged Council to support the agreement: George Efstathiou, Alameda. Urged Council to work out details quickly and move forward: Former Councilmember Doug deHaan, Alameda. Thanked all the speakers; stated the measure of success is longevity, which is a testament to his family business; he would like to remain part of the community and urged Council to approve his agreement: Tom Geanekos, Jim's on the Course. Urged Council to follow the Golf Commission recommendation: Cheryl Saxton, Golf Commission. Councilmember Oddie stated Jim's on the Course concessionaire has been the longest throughout Alameda's history; Jim's is the kind of partner Alameda should have in the community; that he acknowledges the Golf Commission recommendation, but Mr. Geanekos and Greenway can still negotiate even after Council approves the agreement; he trusts there is a willingness to work things out; he would like to give Jim's certainty and he supports the agreement. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the lease is 25 years which should not be taken lightly; the Golf Commission recommendation is reasonable and Council should allow the six months to proceed with deliberation; that she supports the Golf Commission recommendation. Councilmember Daysog stated that he has listened to various sides of the issue; he is confident in staff's ability to analyze the issue and provide a recommendation which he supports; he would like to move forward. Vice Mayor Matarrese requested the proforma information be attached to the contract; stated monitoring the proforma is important; he would also like to keep a timeframe; it makes sense to move forward with the contract from the business standpoint so that improvements of the restaurant could coincide reasonably with the improvements of the golf course; he does not think the City needs to have a negotiation with Greenway Golf and Jim's on the Course, but expects them to work with the Golf Commission; he does not want the contract to be on hold to wait for peripherals; the timing of moving forward now is important; inquired whether it is possible to have a separate contract between the City and Jim's on the Course to address other issues beyond the current contract.
