Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />2-16-09 <br />Page 20 <br />Mr. Coughlin said he was happy before this discussion began when you said you were not voting <br />on it. <br />Mr. Yarbrough said so you have this meeting, and the next meeting another homeowner's <br />association shows up. Can we draw a line and say, this is it? <br />Council President Buckholtz said we are going to set up a meeting. <br />Mr. Yarbrough asked, in a month, or two months? <br />Mayor Rinker replied the understanding is the homeowner's group will coordinate a time that is <br />convenient for us. They will determine who will be there, who won't be there. That's their <br />discretion. It's their call because it's their association. Depending on what kind of feedback we <br />get from that, which he is sure we will get a substantial amount of feedback that Council will be <br />able to respond to, there is Caucus, you don't vote at Caucus. The next regular Council meeting <br />is a month from now. Mayor Rinicer thinks everybody wants to try to resolve this, but we don't <br />want to resolve it and risk having people figure out that we muffed it, that we dropped the ball. <br />We are not stonewalling anyone, but we are trying to make sure, because it's a tough issue. You <br />can see why. <br />Mr. Yarbrough said he just wants to know how much, if he wants to drill right now or just wait. <br />Council President Buckholtz replied that's a decision that you are going to have to make. <br />Mayor Rinker said, we can't answer that. All we are saying is that we are trying to deal in good <br />faith. We are not ready to make a decision tonight. At the request Mayor Riiiker made, Council <br />has agreed to table this. You have heard the interplay with the homeowner's group. There will <br />be a homeowner's group meeting he would suspect within two weeks. He does not know when <br />that is going to be. He would suspect that by the time Council meets next month, they will be <br />ready to call the vote one way or the other. <br />Mr. Yarbrough said to Mayor Rinker he heard mention of one thing. You said something about <br />entering into a lease with some company, but you didn't specifically say Seagull. Mayor Rinker <br />said he does not think the ordinance does either. Ms. Calta clarified that it does. Mayor Rinker <br />clarified it does specify you. He takes that back. Mr. Yarbrough said when he heaxd you talk <br />about that you said, or another company. Mayor Rinker said he was misspoken. <br />Tony Giordano <br />Seagull Development Corp. <br />Tony Giordano asked that when they do give the Mayor the opportunity to negotiate a lease, <br />after the Mayor is done negotiating the lease, with whatever party he negotiates with, does this <br />go back in front of Council for a vote?
