GolfCommission | 2011-02-23 | 9 | Lisa Goldman: "We had several meetings with the representatives for the Mif, Joe VanWinkle, Tony Corica, Bill Wehr and Jane was at one, we were discussing various items on their term sheet, we had little monkey wrench thrown into it all, because some of what they would like to happen are subject to who the ultimate operator is. So, we haven't met since the meeting that Jane you were at. l'd like to see what's going to happen with Kemper, because that really does inform how things progress with the Mif. You all heard it on December 7, the Council said yes, go forth, we want the Mif to be successful with a non profit operator, we'll give you $100,000, they have not changed direction on that, they want it to work. There's going to be some issues to be ironed out, some things they want that we're not able to provide and visa versa. That's going to be subject to negotiations, but it's still moving forward to the extent it can not knowing who's going to occupy the rest of the property." Bob Sullwold: "The Mayor was quoted in the Island today telling the Chamber of Commerce that the Mif lease to the non profit was a done deal. Is that wrong?" Lisa Goldman: "I think she meant it was a done deal that we're moving forward with the Mif, we haven't actually signed anything, but the Council's opinion is that this is going to happen, so in that sense I think that's what she meant. It's going to happen.' Bob Sullwold: "Joe VanWinkle will tell you that he believes that, in June of last year, the term sheet had been presented and all outstanding issues had been addressed. What issues have come up since then?" Lisa Goldman: "Well, nothing was ever signed, so until you actually have a signed document, I don't think you can say that everything was agreed to. I imagine Ann Marie looked at the term sheet and said OK, but not I'm signing this. Again, I did not sit in on those meetings, so I can't say exactly what happened. But, until we have a signed document, and we've negotiated an actual contract, there are issues. I know that the folks are interested in getting the cell tower lease, I'm not sure we're going to be able to provide that. They are interested in getting use or ownership of the equipment, I'm not sure we're going to be able to do that. I'm not remembering everything that's on the term sheet. There are things that we need to work out. I will tell you that I'm sure the Council is still going to give the $100,000, I'm sure they're going to still make junior golf affordable. There would still be opportunities for the high school teams out here. We are committed to making sure that the Mif property is still the Mif property for all the junior and senior golfers out here. But, there are still going to be issues that we have to discuss with them and figure out." Bob Sullwold: "Have you identified for Joe the issues that you discussed?" Lisa Goldman: "Yes, we discussed it at the last meeting.' Commissioner Gammell: "We're keeping the Mif open?' Lisa Goldman: "We're not planning on closing anything. We're going to do our best to keep it open, to keep operating and to keep it successful. 9 Golf Commission Minutes -ll'ednesday, February 23, 2011 | GolfCommission/2011-02-23.pdf |
