GolfCommission | 2011-02-23 | 6 | letting that happen, I believe I should get something back relatively soon, and once I have that I can decide whether it's time to see if this isn't going to work and go to the Council, or it is going to work and it's time to go to Council and give them the new information. I can go to Council and say here's Kemper's new information, this is what they want to do, and they can say, thanks but no thanks, we want you to do something different, but I do need to respect that prospect that allows them to come back and give me whatever they're going to give me. That's where we are." Chair Sullwold: "I just want to point out that the RFP that Ann Marie drafted specifically states that the successful proposer will provide it's own financing which I'm sure you knew when you made your statements to Council on January 26." Lisa Goldman: "You all know I wasn't involved in the discussions that she had, and Dale wasn't involved in a lot of those discussions that she had, so he didn't hear anything and I didn't hear any of it, so I don't know what they said way back when, and then she said "I have a better idea". I have no idea. It's kind of water under the bridge at this point. The reality is they were chosen by Council, right or wrong, they were chosen, that's the direction I have. I'm letting them come back and give me something solid. If it's not solid, or even if it is solid, either way I'm going to have to go back to the Council and say, this is what I have, what do you want to do? It's their decision ultimately.' Chair Sullwold: "The concern, of course, is that by having language in the RFP set up exactly what the bidding company was supposed to do, you only got two responses, and you pick one of them, and then it turns out that one of them makes a secret deal with Ann Marie for something that wasn't in the RFP at all to begin with. And many companies, I have learned, were turned off by the RFP, including the various statements, such as put all your own money to do the improvements. And had it been something different, we would have had more bidders, and perhaps, some better competition." Lisa Goldman: "I'm not going to go back and revisit history, because you all know I didn't do it. If Kemper can do it, more power to them, and it they can't do it, we'll go out and see what our other options are. At this point, that's where I am, that's the bottom line. And, I don't think it's productive for us to do the 'would of, should of, could of' at this point -- we have to wait and see. Then, l'll present all the information to the City Council, they're my policy makers, they're the deciders and whatever they decide, it's my job to carry it out. I'm going to do the best job I can in carrying it out. That's all I can tell you. When I get information that I can share with you, I will." Commissioner Gaul: "If Kemper decides it's feasible financially for them to do 27 holes, then we have two other people who are laying in the wings that would do 36 holes, would that be enough to reconsider Kemper?' Lisa Goldman: "What I would have to do is present all the options to the Council and let them decide, when I go with whatever Staff Report I go with, and I don't know what it will look like right now, I will say, here's the proposal we have, by the way, I've received two other letters, they'll be in the Staff Report so they can see them, and they can decide if these are valid realistic offers. If not, if the offer from Kemper makes sense, it's totally up to 6 Golf Commission Minutes -Wednesday, February 23, 2011 | GolfCommission/2011-02-23.pdf |
