Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />8-17-09 <br />Page 11 <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there was any discussion. This is what we talked <br />about in Caucus on David Hartt. We are all familiar, unless there is more to say or <br />questions on that. There were none. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: Mr. Buckholtz, Mrs. Cinco, <br />Mrs. Mills, Mr. Marrie, <br />Dr. Parker and Mr. Saponaro Motion Carried <br />NAYS: Mr. Marquardt Resolution Adopted <br />Y OTHER MATTERS : <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other matters. <br />Mr. Metzung stated we have some rail failings at the gazebo. We have been fighting ants <br />over there for a few years. We have been out getting quotes over the past week. We have been <br />spraying for a couple of years trying to arrest that problem. There is going to be some cost to <br />correcting that problem in the very near future. Mr. Metzung will keep everyone abreast of it <br />next month. <br />Mr. Saponaro asked about a letter Tom Cappello sent to John Marrelli regarding the <br />Hilton Garden Inn with a punchlist. Mr. Marrelli stated he requested the items that were still <br />outstanding as far as sitework regarding sidewalks and a couple of other things. Mr. Saponaro <br />asked, wasn't there a concern then in terms along the lines of something that had not been paid? <br />Mr. Marrelli replied, Mr. Diemert can probably tell you better, there is a foreclosure action on the <br />low rise. The low rise and the hotel are actually financed by two different entities. Mr. Saponaro <br />asked, the low rise being in the front? Mr. Marrelli replied, yes. Mr. Saponaro asked, that has <br />nothing to do with this? Mr. Marrelli stated the reason he requested that was the hotel group is <br />coming to the Planning Commission this Thursday to request a conditional use permit to open the <br />conference center into a buildout for the conference center which will allow 600-660 people in <br />the low rise. Mr. Marrelli is hoping as a condition of the permit we can wrap up the loose ends <br />on the property. That is. why he solicited that. Mr. Saponaro thanked Mr. Marrelli. <br />Mrs. Cinco asked where we are at with the bridge on River Road. Aren't they behind? <br />Mr. Cappello stated they have until Wednesday, August 19t". Chief Mohr stated they are <br />nowhere near ready. Mr. Cappello said there is an incentive or a penalty clause in their contract <br />unless they got some sort of extension. Mrs. Cinco confirmed it is nowhere near ready. Chief <br />Mohr added they just took the tarp off the concrete today. <br />Mayor Rinker stated that the comment about the audit that is going to be performed <br />prompts the fact that it will be another month and a half, but we are finishing a five-year contract. <br />We are going to have to get into the mode of looking at renegotiation. Mayor Rinker wants <br />everyone to be aware of this. We are going to have our work cut out for us this Fall and Winter <br />and Spring.
